（2025·台州高二上期末）While enjoying the holiday with her family during the summer of 1955， Chava Willig Levy， who was only three and a half years old， suddenly developed a high fever. After rushing her to the hospital， her family received the tragic news that all families of that generation feared — their precious Chava had polio （小儿麻痹症）.
Chava spent the next few months in hospital. Although she could breathe on her own after treatment， she was left paralyzed from the neck down. When she was nine， she was thrilled that she got the chance to go to school. However， it turned out that she was in a single room with a group of kids who all had mobility impairments.Some of those kids were also intellectually disabled. They weren’t even allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria.
Chava now has a communication consulting firm. She even wrote a memoir about her life， titled A Life Not with Standing. Chava became an advocate for disability rights and has dedicated her life to speaking out against discrimination of disabilities in the world. During the pandemic in 2020， Chava spent most of her time inside， starting a YouTube podcast （播客） focusing on one of her passions， music.
There has been positive feedback from listeners who have been touched and inspired by the songs discussed on the podcast. “Chava played a fabulous song called Mother by Tom Paxton. I was listening to it while driving，” said Barbara Schumer， a follower of Chava’s podcast. “The lyrics were about adoption and I started sobbing in the car， since I have two children I adopted at birth. I wrote to her after that， and I think she’s a remarkable person.”
Despite her disability， Chava said， “Having a disability is an important piece of who you are， and I’m not at all in favor of living my life as if the disability is not important. But it shouldn’t be the thing that holds me back from becoming stronger.”
24.What can we learn about Chava from the first two paragraphs？（ ）

C.Misfortune doesn’t define who you are. D.Actions speak louder than words.

Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes around 1.9 kg of tea yearly. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. But tea is not native to Britain. Most tea is grown in India and China. So， how did it become an important part of British culture？
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s.At this time， British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However， this was only available to the richer sections of society.
At the beginning of the 1700s， the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar， giving the drink a special British characteristic.
In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. This involves drinking tea with a snack around 4 p.m.to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.
In the late 1800s， the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms — shops where you could buy and drink tea — started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and socialising in these places. At the start of the 20th century， Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Kettles became necessary in every kitchen.
28.How does the passage mainly develop？（ ）
A.By providing examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time. D.By following the order of importance.
29.What can we learn about British tea culture from paragraphs 1 and 2？（ ）
A.Tea reached Britain from China centuries ago.
B.Britons are famous for planting tea.
C.Green tea was popular in China.
D.Most of the tea is grown in Britain.
30.When was tea no longer a drink just for rich people in the UK？（ ）
A.In the early 1700s. B.In the early 1800s.
C.In the late 1800s. D.In the late 20th century.
31.What is the author’s purpose in writing this article？（ ）
A.To describe how to drink tea. B.To explain why people love tea.
C.To compare black tea with green tea. D.To introduce the history of British tea culture.

（2025·龙岩高二上期末）People today are much cleverer than in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020， a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect，” named after the scientist James Flynn who first identified it. Given that it took millions of years for the brain to evolve， how could it improve so rapidly？
The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation. Just as muscles need food and exercise， the brain requires proper nutrients and activity for development. Today’s children are less likely to be malnourished and more likely to attend school. In wealthy countries， the Flynn effect has largely stabilized， while many children in poorer countries still lack enough nutrition to reach their cognitive （认知） potential. Globally， 22% of children under five — about 150 million — are malnourished， and half suffer firm micronutrient shortages， which can lead to a loss of up to 15 IQ points.
Several factors hinder proper nutrition， including war and disease， which prevent families from accessing food and lead to nutrient shortages. Poverty is a significant issue， but not the only cause.UNICEF data shows that many malnourished children come from non-poor families， highlighting the impact of poor eating habits and cultural practice. For instance， in patriarchal societies， pregnant women may face iron shortages due to unequal food distribution.
Effective strategies include enriching basic foods with micronutrients like iron and zinc （锌）， which is a cost-effective way to make a big difference. Another method is to provide small sums of money to poor families with infants or pregnant mothers. Still， more research is needed to address these issues. For example， scientists in Bangladesh are exploring ways to promote beneficial gut bacteria among women in local poor areas. Researchers in Africa are working on treating anemia （贫血症） without worsening malaria. Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as we rely more on AI， but as Harvard’s Steven Pinker notes， human intelligence is a vital “tail wind” helping us adapt to new challenges. Investing in the next generation’s nutrition is not just right； it is essential.
32.What does “Flynn effect” refer to？（ ）
A.Intelligence can be passed down. B.Nutrition has an impact on IQ.
C.Average IQs change over time. D.Average IQs go up per decade.
33.Which can replace the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3？（ ）
A.Promote. B.Block.
C.Balance. D.Involve.
34.What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.More efforts are needed. B.AI affects humans greatly.
C.Nutrition is less important. D.Effective strategies are adopted.
35.Which would be the suitable title for the passage？（ ）
A.AI as Human IQ B.IQ Changes over Time
C.Nutrition for Smarter Kids D.Challenges for Kids’ Growth

One 49 that has truly refueled my passion for cooking is Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon （红酒炖牛肉）.

（2025·沈阳五校协作体高二上期末）“We’ve got this，” my friend Alex laughed loudly as we stepped off the library steps. “Absolutely， we’ve got this，” I agreed， performing a little victory dance on the sidewalk once the library door had closed behind us. We had both been nominated （提名） for the Youth Excellence Program， an honor and a chance almost every student was crazy about.
That weekend， Alex and I sat in my living room， carefully completing the program application. We each aimed to show we had all qualities the program valued： academic excellence， leadership， community service， integrity， and civic responsibility. I detailed my devotion to challenging courses， while Alex described his volunteer work at the local food bank. We left no stone unturned， fully confident in our joint success.
The following day， we submitted our applications to the teacher hopefully.
Weeks passed.
Then one day， I received a letter about the project. I rushed out of the classroom and opened it. I felt a stab of sadness right in my heart： my name was not on the list.
At that very moment， I saw Alex came jogging over， waving his letter with a beaming smile. It was clear he had news that contrasted with my own. Without hesitation， I turned away to avoid him. I knew he was eager to share his joy. Perhaps， he even had planned to celebrate the good news together with me.
But I just couldn’t face it： they picked him but refused me. How could fate be so unjust？ Anger and despair just blinded me.
That afternoon， on the school bus， I sat alone and avoided eye contact with Alex. When the bus arrived at my street， I just jumped off， without saying goodbye or smiling to him. I hurried home， thrusting （塞） the letter into my mom’s hands. I buried my face in the cushions， sobbing uncontrollably as waves of heartache swept over me.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
From that day on， I didn’t talk to Alex.
Finally， Mom talked with me， saying Alex wasn’t the one to blame.

（2025·台州高二上期末）While enjoying the holiday with her family during the summer of 1955， Chava Willig Levy， who was only three and a half years old， suddenly developed a high fever.After rushing her to the hospital， her family received the tragic news that all families of that generation feared — their precious Chava had polio （小儿麻痹症）.
Chava spent the next few months in hospital.Although she could breathe on her own after treatment， she was left paralyzed from the neck down.When she was nine， she was thrilled that she got the chance to go to school.However， it turned out that she was in a single room with a group of kids who all had mobility impairments.Some of those kids were also intellectually disabled.They weren’t even allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria.
Chava now has a communication consulting firm.She even wrote a memoir about her life， titled A Life Not with Standing.Chava became an advocate for disability rights and has dedicated her life to speaking out against discrimination of disabilities in the world.During the pandemic in 2020， Chava spent most of her time inside， starting a YouTube podcast （播客） focusing on one of her passions， music.
There has been positive feedback from listeners who have been touched and inspired by the songs discussed on the podcast.“Chava played a fabulous song called Mother by Tom Paxton.I was listening to it while driving，” said Barbara Schumer， a follower of Chava’s podcast.“The lyrics were about adoption and I started sobbing in the car， since I have two children I adopted at birth.I wrote to her after that， and I think she’s a remarkable person.”
Despite her disability， Chava said， “Having a disability is an important piece of who you are， and I’m not at all in favor of living my life as if the disability is not important.But it shouldn’t be the thing that holds me back from becoming stronger.”

Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink.The average person in the UK consumes around 1.9 kg of tea yearly.That’s around 876 cups of tea.Tea is drunk by all sections of society.But tea is not native to Britain.Most tea is grown in India and China.So， how did it become an important part of British culture？
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s.At this time， British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China.It was not long before green tea was available to buy.However， this was only available to the richer sections of society.
At the beginning of the 1700s， the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually.Black tea arrived at this time.At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China.They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar， giving the drink a special British characteristic.
In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money.At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”.This involves drinking tea with a snack around 4 p.m.to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner.It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.
In the late 1800s， the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China.It was no longer a drink just for rich people.Tearooms — shops where you could buy and drink tea — started to appear across the country.People enjoyed drinking tea and socialising in these places.At the start of the 20th century， Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it.Kettles became necessary in every kitchen.

（2025·龙岩高二上第一学期期末）People today are much cleverer than in previous generations.A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020， a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect，” named after the scientist James Flynn who first identified it.Given that it took millions of years for the brain to evolve， how could it improve so rapidly？
The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation.Just as muscles need food and exercise， the brain requires proper nutrients and activity for development.Today’s children are less likely to be malnourished and more likely to attend school.In wealthy countries， the Flynn effect has largely stabilized， while many children in poorer countries still lack enough nutrition to reach their cognitive （认知） potential.Globally， 22% of children under five — about 150 million — are malnourished， and half suffer firm micronutrient shortages， which can lead to a loss of up to 15 IQ points.
Several factors hinder proper nutrition， including war and disease， which prevent families from accessing food and lead to nutrient shortages.Poverty is a significant issue， but not the only cause.UNICEF data shows that many malnourished children come from non-poor families， highlighting the impact of poor eating habits and cultural practice.For instance， in patriarchal societies， pregnant women may face iron shortages due to unequal food distribution.
Effective strategies include enriching basic foods with micronutrients like iron and zinc （锌）， which is a cost-effective way to make a big difference.Another method is to provide small sums of money to poor families with infants or pregnant mothers.Still， more research is needed to address these issues.For example， scientists in Bangladesh are exploring ways to promote beneficial gut bacteria among women in local poor areas.Researchers in Africa are working on treating anemia （贫血症） without worsening malaria.Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as we rely more on AI， but as Harvard’s Steven Pinker notes， human intelligence is a vital “tail wind” helping us adapt to new challenges.Investing in the next generation’s nutrition is not just right； it is essential.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“Flynn效应”及营养对儿童智商的影响。
32.What does “Flynn effect” refer to？（ ）
A.Intelligence can be passed down.
B.Nutrition has an impact on IQ.
C.Average IQs change over time.
D.Average IQs go up per decade.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，Flynn effect指的是平均智商每十年都有上升。
33.Which can replace the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3？（ ）
A.Promote. B.Block.
C.Balance. D.Involve.
解析：B 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，战争和疾病等因素阻碍了适当的营养摄入，妨碍家庭获取食物并导致营养不足。所以hinder意为“阻碍”，与block“阻挡”意思相符。
34.What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.More efforts are needed.
B.AI affects humans greatly.
C.Nutrition is less important.
D.Effective strategies are adopted.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Still， more research is needed to address these issues.可知，作者在最后一段想要传达的是还需要付出更多的努力。
35.Which would be the suitable title for the passage？（ ）
A.AI as Human IQ
B.IQ Changes over Time
C.Nutrition for Smarter Kids
D.Challenges for Kids’ Growth
解析：C 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段内容和第二段中的The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation.可知，文章主要介绍了智商随时间变化的现象以及营养对儿童智商的影响，所以适合本文的标题是C项（营养造就聪明孩子）。

Dear teachers and classmates，
As an old saying goes， “We are what we eat.” Safe and high-quality food equips us with enough energy to carry out our daily activities， helping us grow healthily.However， food containing too many harmful ingredients will only make us suffer.
To safeguard my health， I have a few plans.To begin with， when choosing food， I’ll be more careful， and make an effort to buy food from reliable sources.In addition， I’ve made up my mind to read books and articles about food safety， so as to enhance my knowledge about it.Moreover， recognizing the power of joint hands， I’ll call on everyone around me to pay more attention to what goes into our mouths.
Thank you！

（2025·沈阳五校协作体高二上期末）“We’ve got this，” my friend Alex laughed loudly as we stepped off the library steps.“Absolutely， we’ve got this，” I agreed， performing a little victory dance on the sidewalk once the library door had closed behind us.We had both been nominated （提名） for the Youth Excellence Program， an honor and a chance almost every student was crazy about.
That weekend， Alex and I sat in my living room， carefully completing the program application.We each aimed to show we had all qualities the program valued： academic excellence， leadership， community service， integrity， and civic responsibility.I detailed my devotion to challenging courses， while Alex described his volunteer work at the local food bank.We left no stone unturned， fully confident in our joint success.
The following day， we submitted our applications to the teacher hopefully.
Weeks passed.
Then one day， I received a letter about the project.I rushed out of the classroom and opened it.I felt a stab of sadness right in my heart： my name was not on the list.
At that very moment， I saw Alex came jogging over， waving his letter with a beaming smile.It was clear he had news that contrasted with my own.Without hesitation， I turned away to avoid him.I knew he was eager to share his joy.Perhaps， he even had planned to celebrate the good news together with me.
But I just couldn’t face it： they picked him but refused me.How could fate be so unjust？ Anger and despair just blinded me.
That afternoon， on the school bus， I sat alone and avoided eye contact with Alex.When the bus arrived at my street， I just jumped off， without saying goodbye or smiling to him.I hurried home， thrusting （塞） the letter into my mom’s hands.I buried my face in the cushions， sobbing uncontrollably as waves of heartache swept over me.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
From that day on， I didn’t talk to Alex.
Finally， Mom talked with me， saying Alex wasn’t the one to blame.

From that day on， I didn’t talk to Alex.Each day at school， I navigated the hallways with a new route， avoiding the places he frequented.The shared excitement that once connected us was replaced by a painful silence.Alex tried to do something to mend it.One day， he even left me a note， trying to comfort me.But I looked at him coldly， “Leave me alone.” I knew I was hurting him， but the sting of rejection was too fresh， and I couldn’t find the words to bridge the gap.
Finally， Mom talked with me， saying Alex wasn’t the one to blame.She reminded me that success and failure were parts of life’s journey.“You should have congratulated your friend on this instead of feeling pitiful for yourself，” she said seriously.It suddenly struck me that how unfairly I treated Alex.Seized by guilt， I followed mom’s advice and left Alex a note， expressing my feelings — not as an apology， but as a step towards healing and rebuilding our bond.It was time to face my fears and embrace the reality that our friendship could weather this storm.
