before I had my daughter.
W: Why
M: My wife and I are always engaged in work and have little time to stay at home. So we thought it
was unnecessary. ⑥But I was worried that my daughter might get hurt or ill after she was
born.
W: You’re such a good father. ⑧Actually I feel like getting a first-aid kit.
M: But one thing I’d like to mention is that the medicine will fail and even become poisonous after
a long time. ⑦Therefore you’d better check your first-aid kit in time and replace medicines
that have expired(过期的) or are about to expire. W: That’s good advice. Thank you so much.

M: ⑨Maggie, where did these new toys come from
W: ⑨I went to the shopping mall with Nancy and Grace last week. We saw claw
machines(夹娃娃机), so we got the toys.
M: I know you love toys and you always buy some stuffed animals in the toy shop. Are the toys
much cheaper than those bought from the shop
W: Absolutely not. I spent 30 dollars on them and Nancy spent 50 dollars. Can you believe it M:
It’s a little expensive. ⑩What about Grace
W: ⑩It held little attraction for her and she thought it was a babyish(幼稚的) behavior.
M: Did you get all these by yourself
W: No. The bear toy, the rabbit toy and the doll are given by Nancy. I got these two
penguin toys by myself.
M: They look so lovely. Oh, this is the book you lent me last time and I have read it all the way
through already. Here you are.
Text 8zai tianjin kaosheng xia zai da an
M: I was frustrated at not being entered into the national IT competition I’d applied for. I sat in the
car, lost in despair, chewing on my lip and staring outside. I went upstairs, weak and desperate(绝
望的). Grandpa’s door was open for me as usual. There, he was waiting for my arrival
with great excitement. I stood silently, forcing a smile to cover my sadness. He seemed to
read me immediately, giving me a hug. I was surprised that such a thin body was full of so
much energy. Only then did my emotions start pouring out. I told him that all my efforts
were for nothing, and I was feeling discouraged. Grandpa smiled at me gently and said, “Don’t
worry. You’re far stronger than you think.” Then he added, “Life can be full of ups and downs
so what we need to do is to still have our hopes and desires, neglecting the anxiety that makes it
easy to give up.” He patted me on the shoulder, with a determined look, before saying, “Cheer
up. I firmly believe that you have the ability to succeed.” Grandpa’s encouragement soon made
my sadness disappear. The next day, I thought about all my problems and worked out a
plan. Now, I believe that with a positive attitude towards failure, I’ll eventually reach my goals.
Looking back, I realize that we should share our setbacks and progress in life with our
beloved ones. As my grandpa showed, the beloved of our family members will benefit us
forever.南开中学高二年级阶段性质量监测 (一)

三、完形填空(共20个小题，每小题1分，满分20分)
I was studying chemistry at college because my family thought it was the key to success. One day, my professor took me aside and asked a very simple question,“Why are you in my class when it's obvious that you have little or no 31 in chemistry ”
I came up with an explanation by 32 pressure from my dad, but he knew it was just a(an) 33 excuse. He gave me the following advice.
“Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is 34 . Your success will not be the same as mine, as your neighbor's or your parents'. There is no secret formula(公式), no examination you have to 35 , and no guarantee,but there is a secret ingredient — 36 . To be successful in life in the broadest sense, you must pursue your passion. 37 it is fixing cars or exploring the world,you must be passionate about your 38 and set a path to achieve it. Only then will you find true 39 .”
Since I was just nineteen years old, that was pretty profound advice to 40 ,but I knew instinctively (本能地) that he was 41 . I made a conscious self-examination of my short life to 42 where my passion was hiding. It was so 43 that even my kid sister could have told me my true passion was music. It was in my genes. I could play the piano by ear, but had 44 considered music as a hobby.
Could I be a successful musician Or a songwriter Or a music critic There was only one way to find out, so I took my professor's 45 and switched to the university's music school. I studied harmony and composition, learned how to play a clarinet(单簧管) and 46 the symphony orchestra. I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that 47 has never left me.
I'm now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and 48 man. As I look at the walls of my small office, I still get a thrill at seeing the records I 49 , the photos of the famous musicians I was lucky enough to play with, and the praises from many of the finest instrumentalists in the world who I am honored to call my friends.
Life was a long journey, and not a/ an 50 one, but I followed my passion and succeeded.
31. A. achievement B. interest C. doubt D. belief
32. A. reducing B. gathering C. blaming D. overcoming
33. A. accurate B. direct C. innocent D. weak
34. A. different B. perfect C. honest D. creative
35. A. design B. pass C. control D. stand
36. A. passion B. confidence C. knowledge D. effort
37. A. Unless B. Whether C. While D. Because
38. A. study B. need C. goal D. gift
39. A. fortune B. friendship C. character D. happiness
40. A. absorb B. confirm C. remember D. seek
41. A. sensitive B. generous C. right D. kind
42. A. choose B. report C. follow D. discover
43. A. obvious B. likely C. popular D. practical
44. A. seldom B. only C. even D. never
45. A. message B. lecture C. advice D. view
46. A. helped B. started C. hosted D. joined
47. A. feeling B. experience C. expression D. appreciation
48. A. patient B. contented C. brave D. independent

50. A. ordinary B. safe C. good D. easy
四、阅读理解(共15个小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Signs posted up and down the school hallway didn't let me forget: Snowball Dance — Next Friday Night! No one would be asking me, the junior high school outsider. My face was ruined, and my balance was off — I had seizures (癫痫)without warning. All these were making my middle school life miserable. I kept my head down as I hurried to the classroom.
I stepped into the office where my teacher Mrs Barrett waited. She learned that my grandmother had been teaching me to sew for years, but none of the other kids in the class knew it. Mrs Barrett called me up to her desk. “A lot of girls need help with changes on their dresses for the Snowball Dance. I thought you could help me after school,” she said. “Sure,” I said. Together with Mrs Barrett,I sewed buttons, shortened some sleeves, and lengthened others.
Teresa, one of the most popular girls, came by to pick up her dress. “Roberta designed and sewed it by hand,” Mrs Barrett told her. “It's fashionable! Thanks.You must have added this brilliant belt,” she said. “I tied ribbons to the end of a pearl necklace,” I said, looking down at my shabby shoes. Teresa didn't get crowned at the dance, but her Snowball Dance dress was the talk of the school during the following week. Word quickly spread that I was actually good at something. Soon the girls were coming to me and Mrs Barrett for custom-made dresses. “We should organize a fashion show,” Mrs Barrett said one day. We asked the girls in the office and they all wanted to participate. We had a packed auditorium for the show.
“This fashion show was a great success, and better than any dance could be. I think we pushed back the boundaries of fashion,” Mrs Barrett said after the fashion show.
Those weren't the only boundaries we pushed back. Later, Mrs Barrett encouraged me to run for student body president. “The kids have known your talent,” she said. And I was elected president of the grade. I must say it's my luck to meet Mrs Barrett in my life.
51. What do we know about Roberta before she received Mrs Barrett's request
A. She was well liked by her classmates.
B. She wasn't interested in the dance at all.
C. She felt lonely, miserable and depressed.
D. She was unlucky, sensitive, but optimistic.
52. Why did Teresa's dress become a popular topic in the school
A. She was the most popular girl.
B. She was elected Snowball Queen.
C. Her dress was specially designed.
D. She helped design her own dress.
53. The fashion show organized by Mrs. Barrett and Roberta .
A. was poorly attended and unorganized
B. showcased Teresa's changing self-image
C. exhibited creativity and originality in fashion
D. was more participated than the Snowball Dance
54. Roberta was reluctant to attend the dance party because of .
A. her lack of interest in fashion and design
B. her mternalized self-doubt due to social rejection
C. her fear of falling short of Mrs. Barrett's expectations
D. her pressure to meet the traditional academic requirements
55. Which real-world situation best reflects the story's message
A. A teacher's favorite student makes it on the honor roll.
B. A school cancels arts programs to focus on standardized testing.
C. A student wins a science fair by strictly following textbook methods.
D. An athlete with a disability makes the team through exceptional strategy.
B
It's weird. Time feels faster the older we get. I can think back to an event three years ago, and it feels like yesterday. I still wear the same clothes. My haircut is the same. I live in the same place and eat the same food. Nothing much distinguishes that event from my present. Yet, for a child or teenager, three years can feel like a lifetime. Why does this happen
Children and teenagers experience significantly more change, more frequently,than adults. They grow taller, wear new clothes, switch schools, have different friends, and learn new things in class. It is a world of transition and change. As adults, many of these factors level out and don't change at all.
During adolescence, which researchers identify as between 10 and 25 years of age, the brain undergoes significant change. Laurence Steinberg , a heavy hitter in the adolescent research world, calls it a brain of“opportunity” because it is wide open to learning. Imagine thousands of neurons(神经元) all bumping up against each other, equally likely to activate each other. Adolescents are highly sensitive to their environment because their brains are open to anything and everything happening to them. They use this openness to learn how the world works and how to function in it.
When sex hormones come online, they enhance this learning through myelination(髓鞘形成), or the act of adding a fatty sheath(鞘) on top of the highly active neurons to help them fire 100 times faster than non-myelinated neurons. The brain takes what it learns and hardwires(连接) it. Stressful life events have a greater impact when they occur in adolescence versus middle childhood because the brain wires to teenage experiences.
This is why we have a different experience of time. When we are teenagers,we are so open and receptive to the world. Our interactions with teachers, friends,material in class, parents, society, and more shape how we understand the world and how we operate in it. We experience big emotions, teaching us about relationships, responsibility, and everything else. It feels like so much happens every day because our brains are taking in so many things. As we get older, our brains aren't wired to take in as many things from the outside world, or to learn in the same way. Therefore, three years ago can feel like yesterday: not much has changed in our brains, our perception, or our lived experience.
56. What is the author's primary observation about time in the first paragraph
A. Personal habits like clothing and diet never evolve after youth.
B. Physical appearance remains unchanged for years in adulthood.
C. Adults' stable routines make time feel faster than in childhood.
D. Childhood memories feel more distant than recent adult experiences.
57. According to the article, why do children and teenagers perceive time as passing more slowlv than adults do
A. Because their brains develop slower, delaying time perception.
B. Because they lack the cognitive ability to track time accurately.
C. Because their daily routines are less structured than those of adults.
D. Because they experience more frequent and noticeable life changes.
58. Why do stressful events impact adolescents more
A. They lack emotional strength.
B. Their brains are less developed.
C. They experience fewer changes.
D. Their brains hardwire experiences.
59. What can we infer about teenagers from the passage
A. They have less stress than adults.
B. They are more likely to adapt to change.
C. Their brains are less active than those of adults.
D. They focus more on the present than the future.
60. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Why Time Feels Faster as We Age.
B. The Role of Change in Perception.
C. How Teen Brains Shape Time Perception.
D. The Impact of Hormones on Time Experience.
C
Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. There are many arguments in favour of homework and most teachers would agree with many if not all of the following: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom; students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.
There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend's house, on the street, on the bus, on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. What's more, all too often for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a child's education, but they can't always be available for a number of very valid reasons and a tutor's ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter's study may be limited in many ways. The implication is unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.
Considering the second part of the compound noun opens up further questions.If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work. Again, this will depend enormously on the context, but very often there is a lot of work put in.Demands on their time and attention span (持续时间) and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of the way, to be ticked off as done with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but rather as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not copied from a friend or cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and as a result the task achieved:how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and even when work clearly falls below standard, the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.
The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher,use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise and reflect,and put everything they have seen in class in place into action into practice does not often happen with some students.
61. Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1
A. Building a closer teacher-student relationship.
B. Meeting the requirements of students and parents
C. Developing the ability of the independent learning.
D. Solidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.
62 Speaking of the significant impact of homework upon children's success in class some are just inferior to others because .
A. their tutors are not always available to support them
B. their family circumstances limit their learning ability
C. they are born without the ability to deal with concepts
D. some unknown reasons greatly hold up their progress
63. The underlined phrase“keep the teacher at bay” in paragraph 3 means the way homework is done .
A. blocks teachers from knowing more about their students
B. imposes enormous meaningless evaluating work on teachers
C. displays the great efforts students make to satisfy their teachers
D. shows achievements teachers expect to accomplish in their work
64. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Homework is hardly functioning as is naturally expected.
B. The quality of homework is usually teachers' first concern.
C. Parents need to stand away from their children's homework.
D. Students prefer doing homework elsewhere instead of at home.
65. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To criticize students for not taking homework seriously.
B. To explain the vital role parents must play in a child's education.
C. To argue that teachers often assign a lot of meaningless homework.
D. To urge a reflection on homework's impact on academic performance.

五、阅读表达(共5个小题，每小题1分，满分5分)
阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Almost every driver in the world will spend part of their life waiting at traffic lights. In a lifetime, one might wait at red lights for countless hours, but few drivers ever wonder who invented these crucial devices.
The first traffic light was installed in 1868 in London, outside the British Houses of Parliament. It was manually operated and designed by J. P Knight, a railway engineer, to help manage the growing number of horse-drawn carriages.Unfortunately, this first model used gas lights, which eventually led to an explosion,injuring the officer operating it. After that incident, traffic lights were largely forgotten until cars began to crowd the streets of major cities.
The modern, electric traffic light was invented in 1923 by Garrett Morgan, an African American inventor. Morgan was an innovator who saw the need for safer roads. He noticed that vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians often collided because there was no organized system to manage street intersections. To solve this problem,Morgan developed a device with three positions: stop, go, and a third that allowed time for drivers to stop before the light turned red. This simple innovation reduced the number of accidents and made intersections safer for everyone.
When Morgan introduced his invention, the initial reception was mixed.Drivers were used to chaotic intersections and many didn't understand why they should obey a light instead of just going when they felt it was safe. However,Morgan was persistent. He demonstrated how his traffic signal could save lives,and soon, cities across the United States began to adopt his system.
Since then, the traffic light has become an essential part of road safety worldwide. Today's lights use advanced sensors and technology to help manage traffic flow more efficiently. They also include pedestrian signals and countdown times to improve safety for those on foot.
The evolution of the traffic light shows how simple ideas can transform into vital tools for daily life. Garrett Morgan's invention has not only made roads safer but has also shaped how we navigate our cities today.
66. What caused the first traffic light ta fail (No more than 10 words)
67. According to the context, what does the underlined word“collided” mean (1word)
68. What is the main idea of paragraph 3 (No more than 10 words)
