Getting there & doing it Chichen Itza lies 80 miles from Tulum on the road to Merida. Hotels and tour operators organize tours here but it’s better to hire a car and go independently. Understanding a little about the pre-Columbian Maya really brings these site s to life. You could read Michael Coe’s The Maya, and/or Joyce Kelly’s An Archaeological Guide to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before you go. The site can be explored comfortably in 2 hours. For refuelling after, head 40km east to Cancun for authentic Mayan organic foods. While you’re there Allow some time to drive on to Merida, the “White City ”, an old and very Mexican city with beautiful churches and great markets. Also stop by Cenote Ik-Kil for a swim with a difference. When to do it The site is open all year around, seven days a week. Gates open at 8 am and close at 5 pm. The rainy season from May through October sees the fewest visitors to Mayan Riviera. The dry season — November through April — gets busy: If you can, avoid peak season in December to January, when it gets very crowded, especially around Christmas and New Year. 21. What is recommended to do before visiting Chichen Itza? A. Hire a local guide. B. Take a guided tour. C. Watch a documentary about Mexico. D. Read specific books about the Maya civilization. 22. What is suggested for a post-visit activity after exploring Chichen Itza? A. Driving 40km east for Mayan foods. B. Attending a cultural show in Tulum. C. Paying a visit to the Castillo pyramid. D. Exploring the Temple of a Thousand Warriors. 23. When is the best time to visit Chichen Itza if you want to avoid crowds? A. December to January. B. November through April. C. May through October. D. All year around. B On a Friday morning in April, Dan Stein, the founder of Giving Green, a climate charity organization, found some big news in a surprising email. An anonymous (匿名) donor had given his fund $10 million. “I didn’t quite expect so many zeroes and thought of it to be a mistake,” Stein said, adding he was “delighted and shocked” by the gift. Giving Green collects donations and gives them away to a handful of nonprofits that it believes have the potential to make a significant difference in preventing climate change and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The S10 million donation is by far the largest single gift the nonprofit has ever received and it essentially fell out of the sky without warning. Stein and his team think the same donor may actually have given as much as $17 million more directly to those organizations in the last two years. Because the gifts are anonymous, it’s impossible to confirm, but Stein says the timing of the gifts suggests they could have come from the same person or organization. In general, giving anonymously is often regarded as the highest form of giving. Stein said, adding the donor thinks “I’m doing this out of a sense of creating a better community and simply believing that this money should go towards other uses rather than sitting in my pocket or my bank account.” Stein sees the donations as evidence that there are donors who want to give to climate change but don’t know where to donate. “The climate problem is an incredible generational problem and we think that we, as a society, should be doing things to stop it, ”Stein said. “And that one thing that people can do is making donations. ” Stein said Giving Green intends to distribute the majority of the $10 million gift as soon as possible with much of it going to the organizations they recommend. They’ ll also direct smaller amounts to new organizations or programs within organizations that they support. 24. What was Dan Stein’s reaction to the anonymous donation? A. He was indifferent. B. He thought about rejecting it. C. He was overjoyed and couldn’t believe it. D. He immediately knew who the donor was. 25. What is the main purpose of Giving Green? A. To carry out climate change researches. B. To educate the public about climate change. C. To set up nonprofit organizations to deal with climate change. D. To help solve climate problems by collecting and distributions. 26. According to the text, why is anonymous giving considered the highest form of giving? A. It focuses on improving the society. B. It makes the donation process simpler. C. It ensures the donor gains public recognition. D. It helps keep the donor’s bank account a secret. 27. What does Stein plan to do with the donation? A. Save the majority of it for future needs. B. Use the majority of it for marketing and promoting. C. Distribute most of it to recommended organizations. D. Giving most of it away to new organizations or programs. C Researchers in Japan say they will begin selling new devices that will help people cut down on the amount of salt they use to improve the taste of their food. The developers are from Japan’s Meiji University and drink company Kirin based in Tokyo. One new device is an electric spoon, which sends a weak electric current to the tongue. The current is too weak to be felt. However, it makes salt taste one and a half times stronger. This means we can eat food with less salt, but still sense a salty taste. The Electric Salt Spoon will sell in Japan for around $120 beginning in June. Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita developed the spoon and a similar device electric chopsticks. The chopsticks will likely go on sale next year. The recent announcement marks the first time the technology has been used in a product for sale to the public. Last year, the effort gained a different sort of attention. It won the 2023 Ig Nobel Prize in nutrition. Organizers describe the prize as recognizing research that makes “people LAUGH, then THINK. ” Miyashita and his laboratory have explored ways that technology can create human sensory experiences. They have also developed a lickable TV screen that can recreate the taste of food. The beer producer Kirin is turning to healthcare products to expand its traditional business. A company spokesperson said the technology might be especially useful for Japanese people, whose traditional diet favors salty foods. The average adult in Japan consumes about 10 grams of salt per day. The World Health Organization recommends half that amount. Eating foods with too much salt can increase the chances of having cardiovascular diseases, like high blood pressure and heart attacks. “To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. Sato said it is hard to cut salt in the usual way because it would mean “eating bland food.” 28. What is the chief purpose of the new devices? A. To make food taste less tasty. B. To cook food more efficiently. C. To help people reduce their salt intake. D. To replace traditional cooking devices. 29. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The practical application of different electric devices. B. The price and availability of the electric devices. C. The awards won by the Electric Salt Spoon. D. The importance of reducing salt intake. 30. Why might the technology be especially useful for Japanese people? A. They traditionally prefer salty foods. B. Their diet contains too much fat and sugar. C Japan produces a large amount of salt each year. D. Many Japanese suffer from cardiovascular diseases. 31. What does the underlined phrase “bland food ” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Food that is very salty. B. Food that is tasteless. C. Food that is not healthy. D. Food that is too bitter. D Wild chimpanzees are known to consume a broad range of plant matter, making it hard for researchers to figure out whether chimpanzees intentionally seek out medicinal plants to heal(治愈) themselves, or “passively” consume plants that happen to be medicinal. At the Budongo Central Forest Reserve in Uganda researchers from the University of Oxford observed the behaviors and health of 51 wild chimpanzees, belonging to two habituated communities. The researchers observed a male chimpanzee with an injured hand seek out and eat the leaves of a fern, which may have helped to reduce pain and swelling. They also recorded another sick chimpanzee consuming a cat-thorn tree. The team also tested the plant species in the reserve, which they suspected were being consumed by the chimpanzees to self-medicate, for anti-inflammatory (抗炎) and antibacterial (抗菌) characteristics. The species included plants not part of the chimpanzees’ normal diet, but being consumed for their healing characteristics. The authors found 88% of the plant species had antibacterial characteristics, arresting the growth of bacteria, while 33% of them had anti-inflammatory characteristics. Deadwood from a tree in the Dogbane family showed the strongest antibacterial activity and also had anti-inflammatory characteristics, suggesting it could be used to treat wounds, they said. Roots from the East African mahogany tree and leaves from fern were found to exhibit potential anti-inflammatory effects. The results suggested that chimpanzees looked for and ate specific plants for their medicinal effects, and the study was one of the first to document evidence of this kind, the authors said. Team member Fabien Schultz hopes that the findings might lead to promising candidates for human medicines. “What if human lives can be saved by following the ways of our animal relatives?” he says. 32. Why is it challenging to determine if chimpanzees intentionally seek out medicinal plants? A. Medicinal plants are rare in the forest. B. Chimpanzees consume a wide variety of plant matter. C. Chimpanzees hide themselves when they are sick or injured. D. Researchers can hardly observe chimpanzees in the thick forest. 33. Which of the following might have the most powerful antibacterial effects? A. Dogbane trees. B. Leaves of ferns. C. Cat-thorn trees. D. East African mahogany tree roots. 34. What potential benefit does Fabien Schultz hope to achieve from the findings? A. Identifying new human medicines. B. Developing new animal care techniques. C. Improving chimpanzee health in the wild. D. Discovering new food sources for humans. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Diet of Wild Chimpanzees B. The Medicinal Characteristics of Plants C. The Dietary Habits of Wild Chimpanzees D. Chimpanzees Using Plants for Self- Medication 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There really is a lot of pressure on people to change these days. We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. ___36___ Instead of always striving to change to meet others’ expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. There is an old saying: “You can’t teach an old dog new trick”, implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change.___37___ Instead of believing change is essentially necessary, we should consider why change is needed and what purpose it serves. ___38___ For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day.

Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.” ___40___ A. The motto has meanings for humans, too. B. Change can have a great many benefits. C. Change takes a variety of different forms. D. You need to let them have their opinions. E. Animals get older and have more experiences. F. Actually, the significance of change might be overstated. G. That way you can remind yourself that you are seeing a reason to change. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15 小题； 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During a trip to San Diego, my husband Dan and I came across two stars, Gracie and Billy, at the Bahia Resort Hotel.

On the day of the event, each participant had to go up onstage one by one and perform their piece in front of a panel of judges and an audience. At first, Angela was excited and confident, as she had been preparing for months, practicing diligently every day under the guidance of her piano teacher. However as her turn approached, doubts began to flood her mind. “What if I played the wrong notes? What if I forgot the notes? What if I just mess up?” Angela remembered thinking. As these worries raced through her mind, Angela watched another girl perform. The girl played beautifully. Angela couldn’t help but feel kind of jealous y and admiration. Once the girl finished, she walked off stage to where Angela was waiting and did something unexpected. “She looked at me and smiled with a thumb up.” Angela said. The simple gesture took Angela by surprise. “Her smile made me think that today I'm just right and I can perform on the stage.” Encouraged by this act of kindness, Angela took a deep breath and walked out to the piano. She sat down, closed her eyes for a moment to steady herself, and then began to play. As her fingers moved over the keys, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. The notes flowed effortlessly, and she lost herself in the music. When she finished, Angela looked up and saw her competitor clapping for her, a genuine smile on her face. Seeing such a show of support has stuck with Angela over the years. “As a competitor, she gave me respect and helped a shy girl to face the stage,” Angela said. If she could talk to that girl again, here’s what Angela would say: “You changed a moment of my life, and your kind smile remained in my memory. And I’ll take that smile at a precious gift.” 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。 Several years have passed, but Angela always takes a moment to reflect on the power of a simple smile. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Angela’s experience also inspired her to help others. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高三上学期8月开学摸底考 英 语 试 题 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题； 每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man doing?

You just need to pay £10 for participation, and you’ll make a valuable contribution to our three aims. Firstly, we long to invest most of our contributions in medical research at the Children’s Health Centre, which is our chief intention to launch this campaign. Secondly, we hope to raise money to build a new school library and restore the swimming pool. Last but not least, we want to encourage children to actively take part in sports and form the habit of exercising as well. There’s a wide range of events. Interest is likely to be the greatest in the football match, with volleyball coming a close second. If I could make a final request—— we’ve had plenty of entries for the long jump, but not enough for the high jump, and we don’t want to cancel that, so please see if you can convince your kids to sign up for that. By the way, please tell your kids that the priority is security and competition comes second. And your kids should be accompanied by you. Thank you for your cooperation. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Chichen Itza, Mexico Price from:£20 Age suitable:8+ When: All year around The UNESCO world heritage- listed Maya city of Chichen Itza is one of Mexico’s most amazing attractions, where you can see stunning, monumental buildings built between AD 750 and 1200, including the Castillo pyramid and the Temple of a Thousand Warriors.

You could read Michael Coe’s The Maya, and/or Joyce Kelly’s An Archaeological Guide to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before you go. (对前哥伦布时代的玛雅有了一点了解，这些遗址就栩栩如生了。你可以在去之前读一下迈克尔·科的《玛雅人》和/或乔伊斯·凯利的《墨西哥尤卡坦半岛考古指南》)”可知，在参观奇琴伊察之前，建议阅读关于玛雅文明的专门书籍。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Getting there & doing it部分中“The site can be explored comfortably in 2 hours. For refuelling after, head 40km east to Cancun for authentic Mayan organic foods. (2小时即可轻松游览。之后，您可以向东40公里前往坎昆，品尝正宗的玛雅有机食品。)”可知，游览完奇琴伊察后，建议驱车向东40公里寻找玛雅美食。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The dry season — November through April — gets busy: If you can, avoid peak season in December to January, when it gets very crowded, especially around Christmas and New Year. (旱季——11月到4月——会很繁忙：如果可以的话，避开12月到1月的旺季，那时会非常拥挤，尤其是在圣诞节和新年前后。)”可知，如果你想避开人群，参观奇琴伊察的最佳时间是五月到十月。故选C。 B On a Friday morning in April, Dan Stein, the founder of Giving Green, a climate charity organization, found some big news in a surprising email. An anonymous (匿名) donor had given his fund $10 million. “I didn’t quite expect so many zeroes and thought of it to be a mistake,” Stein said, adding he was “delighted and shocked” by the gift. Giving Green collects donations and gives them away to a handful of nonprofits that it believes have the potential to make a significant difference in preventing climate change and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The S10 million donation is by far the largest single gift the nonprofit has ever received and it essentially fell out of the sky without warning. Stein and his team think the same donor may actually have given as much as $17 million more directly to those organizations in the last two years. Because the gifts are anonymous, it’s impossible to confirm, but Stein says the timing of the gifts suggests they could have come from the same person or organization. In general, giving anonymously is often regarded as the highest form of giving. Stein said, adding the donor thinks “I’m doing this out of a sense of creating a better community and simply believing that this money should go towards other uses rather than sitting in my pocket or my bank account.” Stein sees the donations as evidence that there are donors who want to give to climate change but don’t know where to donate. “The climate problem is an incredible generational problem and we think that we, as a society, should be doing things to stop it, ”Stein said. “And that one thing that people can do is making donations. ” Stein said Giving Green intends to distribute the majority of the $10 million gift as soon as possible, with much of it going to the organizations they recommend. They’ ll also direct smaller amounts to new organizations or programs within organizations that they support. 24. What was Dan Stein’s reaction to the anonymous donation? A. He was indifferent. B. He thought about rejecting it. C. He was overjoyed and couldn’t believe it. D. He immediately knew who the donor was. 25. What is the main purpose of Giving Green? A. To carry out climate change researches. B. To educate the public about climate change. C. To set up nonprofit organizations to deal with climate change. D. To help solve climate problems by collecting and distributions. 26. According to the text, why is anonymous giving considered the highest form of giving? A. It focuses on improving the society. B. It makes the donation process simpler. C. It ensures the donor gains public recognition. D. It helps keep the donor’s bank account a secret. 27. What does Stein plan to do with the donation? A. Save the majority of it for future needs. B. Use the majority of it for marketing and promoting. C. Distribute most of it to recommended organizations. D. Giving most of it away to new organizations or programs. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。气候慈善组织 Giving Green的创始人 Dan Stein的基金收到匿名捐赠1000万美元，他计划尽快将这笔1000万美元的绝大部分分发给推荐的非营利组织。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““I didn’t quite expect so many zeroes and thought of it to be a mistake,” Stein said, adding he was “delighted and shocked” by the gift. (Stein说：“我没想到会收到这么多零，还以为是个错误。”他还说，收到这份礼物让他“既高兴又震惊”。)”可知，Stein对收到匿名捐赠感到“高兴和震惊”，难以置信。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Giving Green collects donations and gives them away to a handful of nonprofits that it believes have the potential to make a significant difference in preventing climate change and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. (“Giving Green”组织收集捐款，并将其转交给一些它认为有可能在防止气候变化和减少温室气体排放方面发挥重大作用的非营利组织。)”可知，GivingGreen 的目的是收集捐款并分配给一些非营利组织，这些组织有潜力在防止气候变化和减少温室气体排放方面产生显著影响。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In general, giving anonymously is often regarded as the highest form of giving. Stein said, adding the donor thinks “I’m doing this out of a sense of creating a better community and simply believing that this money should go towards other uses rather than sitting in my pocket or my bank account.”(一般来说，匿名捐赠通常被认为是捐赠的最高形式。Stein说，并补充说，捐赠者认为“我这样做是出于创造一个更好的社区的意识，只是认为这笔钱应该用于其他用途，而不是坐在我的口袋或银行账户里。”)”可知，匿名捐赠者是出于创造更好的社区理念而捐赠，而不是为了自己的名誉，这表明这种捐赠方式更专注于社会的改善。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Stein said Giving Green intends to distribute the majority of the $10 million gift as soon as possible, with much of it going to the organizations they recommend. They’ ll also direct smaller amounts to new organizations or programs within organizations that they support. (Stein说，“Giving Green”计划尽快分配1000万美元捐赠中的大部分，其中大部分将捐给他们推荐的组织。他们也会向他们支持的新组织或组织内的项目提供小额资金。)”可知，Stein计划尽快分配这笔捐款，大部分会给到他们推荐的组织，小部分会给到他们支持的新组织或项目。故选C。 C Researchers in Japan say they will begin selling new devices that will help people cut down on the amount of salt they use to improve the taste of their food. The developers are from Japan’s Meiji University and drink company Kirin based in Tokyo. One new device is an electric spoon, which sends a weak electric current to the tongue. The current is too weak to be felt. However, it makes salt taste one and a half times stronger. This means we can eat food with less salt, but still sense a salty taste. The Electric Salt Spoon will sell in Japan for around $120 beginning in June. Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita developed the spoon and a similar device electric chopsticks. The chopsticks will likely go on sale next year. The recent announcement marks the first time the technology has been used in a product for sale to the public. Last year, the effort gained a different sort of attention. It won the 2023 Ig Nobel Prize in nutrition. Organizers describe the prize as recognizing research that makes “people LAUGH, then THINK. ” Miyashita and his laboratory have explored ways that technology can create human sensory experiences. They have also developed a lickable TV screen that can recreate the taste of food. The beer producer Kirin is turning to healthcare products to expand its traditional business. A company spokesperson said the technology might be especially useful for Japanese people, whose traditional diet favors salty foods. The average adult in Japan consumes about 10 grams of salt per day. The World Health Organization recommends half that amount. Eating foods with too much salt can increase the chances of having cardiovascular diseases, like high blood pressure and heart attacks. “To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. Sato said it is hard to cut salt in the usual way because it would mean “eating bland food.” 28. What is the chief purpose of the new devices? A. To make food taste less tasty. B. To cook food more efficiently. C. To help people reduce their salt intake. D. To replace traditional cooking devices. 29. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The practical application of different electric devices. B. The price and availability of the electric devices. C. The awards won by the Electric Salt Spoon. D. The importance of reducing salt intake. 30. Why might the technology be especially useful for Japanese people? A. They traditionally prefer salty foods. B. Their diet contains too much fat and sugar. C. Japan produces a large amount of salt each year. D. Many Japanese suffer from cardiovascular diseases. 31. What does the underlined phrase “bland food ” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Food that is very salty. B. Food that is tasteless. C. Food that is not healthy. D. Food that is too bitter. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。近日，日本一家公司为控制食盐摄入量，研发了一款新产品“电盐勺”———通过勺子释放的电流让食物尝起来更咸。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers in Japan say they will begin selling new devices that will help people cut down on the amount of salt they use to improve the taste of their food. (日本研究人员表示，他们将开始销售新设备，帮助人们减少盐的用量，以改善食物的味道。)”可知，新设备的主要目的是帮助人们减少盐的摄入量。故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The Electric Salt Spoon will sell in Japan for around $120 beginning in June. Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita developed the spoon and a similar device. electric chopsticks. The chopsticks will likely go on sale next year. (这款电盐勺将于今年6月在日本发售，售价约为120美元。明治大学教授宫下美美发明了这种勺子和类似的装置。电动筷子。这种筷子可能会在明年上市。)”可知，此段主要讲述了电子设备的价格和上市时间。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“A company spokesperson said the technology might be especially useful for Japanese people, whose traditional diet favors salty foods. (该公司的一位发言人说，这项技术可能对日本人特别有用，因为日本人的传统饮食喜欢吃咸的食物。)”可推知，科技对日本人特别有用，因为他们的传统饮食偏咸。故选A。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前一句““To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. (麒麟研究人员Ai Sato说：“为了预防这些疾病，我们需要减少盐的摄入量。”)”可知，按照通常的方法减少盐的摄入是很难的，因为这意味着要“吃无味的食物”。因此短语bland food最有可能的意思是“无味的食物”。 故选B。 D Wild chimpanzees are known to consume a broad range of plant matter, making it hard for researchers to figure out whether chimpanzees intentionally seek out medicinal plants to heal(治愈) themselves, or “passively” consume plants that happen to be medicinal. At the Budongo Central Forest Reserve in Uganda, researchers from the University of Oxford observed the behaviors and health of 51 wild chimpanzees, belonging to two habituated communities. The researchers observed a male chimpanzee with an injured hand seek out and eat the leaves of a fern, which may have helped to reduce pain and swelling. They also recorded another sick chimpanzee consuming a cat-thorn tree. The team also tested the plant species in the reserve, which they suspected were being consumed by the chimpanzees to self-medicate, for anti-inflammatory (抗炎) and antibacterial (抗菌) characteristics. The species included plants not part of the chimpanzees’ normal diet, but being consumed for their healing characteristics. The authors found 88% of the plant species had antibacterial characteristics, arresting the growth of bacteria, while 33% of them had anti-inflammatory characteristics. Deadwood from a tree in the Dogbane family showed the strongest antibacterial activity and also had anti-inflammatory characteristics, suggesting it could be used to treat wounds, they said. Roots from the East African mahogany tree and leaves from fern were found to exhibit potential anti-inflammatory effects. The results suggested that chimpanzees looked for and ate specific plants for their medicinal effects, and the study was one of the first to document evidence of this kind, the authors said. Team member Fabien Schultz hopes that the findings might lead to promising candidates for human medicines. “What if human lives can be saved by following the ways of our animal relatives?” he says. 32. Why is it challenging to determine if chimpanzees intentionally seek out medicinal plants? A. Medicinal plants are rare in the forest. B. Chimpanzees consume a wide variety of plant matter. C. Chimpanzees hide themselves when they are sick or injured. D. Researchers can hardly observe chimpanzees in the thick forest. 33. Which of the following might have the most powerful antibacterial effects? A. Dogbane trees. B. Leaves of ferns. C. Cat-thorn trees. D. East African mahogany tree roots. 34. What potential benefit does Fabien Schultz hope to achieve from the findings? A. Identifying new human medicines. B. Developing new animal care techniques. C. Improving chimpanzee health in the wild. D. Discovering new food sources for humans. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Diet of Wild Chimpanzees B. The Medicinal Characteristics of Plants C. The Dietary Habits of Wild Chimpanzees D. Chimpanzees Using Plants for Self- Medication 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究人员发现，野生黑猩猩可以利用药用植物来给自己治疗。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wild chimpanzees are known to consume a broad range of plant matter, making it hard for researchers to figure out whether chimpanzees intentionally seek out medicinal plants to heal(治愈) themselves, or “passively” consume plants that happen to be medicinal.(众所周知，野生黑猩猩会吃各种各样的植物物质，这使得研究人员很难弄清楚黑猩猩是故意寻找药用植物来治愈自己，还是“被动”食用恰好具有药用价值的植物。)”可知，研究人员很难确定黑猩猩是否存在有意寻找要用植物，是因为黑猩猩吃的植物种类广泛。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Deadwood from a tree in the Dogbane family showed the strongest antibacterial activity and also had anti-inflammatory characteristics, suggesting it could be used to treat wounds, they said.(他们说，夹竹桃科的一棵树的枯木显示出最强的抗菌活性，也具有抗炎特性，这表明它可以用来治疗伤口。)”可知，夹竹桃科枯木具有最强的抗菌特性。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Team member Fabien Schultz hopes that the findings might lead to promising candidates for human medicines.(团队成员Fabien Schultz希望这些发现可以为人类药物带来有前景的候选者。)”可知，Fabien Schultz希望这些发现可以带来新的人类药物候选者，即帮助识别新的人类药物。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“The results suggested that chimpanzees looked for and ate specific plants for their medicinal effects, and the study was one of the first to document evidence of this kind, the authors said.(作者说，研究结果表明，黑猩猩寻找并食用特定的植物以获得药用效果，这项研究是首批记录此类证据的研究之一。)”可知，本文主要讲述了研究发现野生黑猩猩可以利用药用植物来给自己治疗，由此可知，D项“黑猩猩利用植物进行自我药疗”最适合作本文标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There really is a lot of pressure on people to change these days. We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. ___36___ Instead of always striving to change to meet others’ expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. There is an old saying: “You can’t teach an old dog new trick”, implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change.___37___ Instead of believing change is essentially necessary, we should consider why change is needed and what purpose it serves. ___38___ For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first. If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right. ___39___ However, you needn’t let it be the final word on what you need. Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.” ___40___ A. The motto has meanings for humans, too. B. Change can have a great many benefits. C. Change takes a variety of different forms. D. You need to let them have their opinions. E. Animals get older and have more experiences. F. Actually, the significance of change might be overstated. G. That way you can remind yourself that you are seeing a reason to change. 【答案】36. F 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了现代社会中普遍存在改变的压力，指出改变未必总是必要，人们应当学会接受自己的现状和感受。 【36题详解】 空前“We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. (我们经常被告知要改变我们的观点、态度、行为和方向。)”讨论了现代社会中人们被频繁告知需要改变的方方面面。空后“Instead of always striving to change to meet others’ expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. (与其总是努力改变以满足他人的期望，也许人们应该专注于接受自己。)”提出了作者认为人们应该专注于接受自己而不是改变，由此可知，空处应讲述改变可能被过分强调了。选项F“实际上，改变的重要性可能被过分强调。”承上启下。故选F。 【37题详解】 空前“There is an old saying: “You can’t teach an old dog new trick”, implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change. (有一句老话：“你不能教老狗新把戏”，这意味着改变（即教“新把戏”）很重要，但老狗不能做出改变。)”中作者引用了一句俗语“You can’t teach an old dog new trick”并解释说老狗难以做出改变。选项A“这条格言对人类也有意义。”紧接在对俗语的解释之后，指出了这句话对人类的启示作用。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据下文“For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first. (例如，一个人被告知他们需要有一个“更积极的态度”的情况与一个学生被告知他们需要停止每天对别人大喊大叫的情况不同。当然，第二个情况比第一个情况反映了更明确的变革需求。)”可知，下文列举了改变的不同形式，由此可知，空处应讲述不同情境下的改变有不同表现，选项C“改变有各种不同的形式。”符合题意。故选C。 【39题详解】 前文“If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right. (如果别人告诉你你需要改变，这并不意味着他们错了，也不意味着他们是对的。)”讨论了当别人告诉你需要改变时，这并不意味着他们一定是对的，也不意味着他们一定是错的，选项D“你需要允许他们有他们的观点”呼应了前文的论述，强调了虽然要尊重他人的观点，并与下文“However, you needn’t let it be the final word on what you need. (然而，你不必让它成为你需要什么的最终决定。)”形成转折。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.” (即使你决定改变是因为别人告诉你他们被你的现状所困扰，提醒自己你正在做出改变的选择仍然很重要。你可以接受他们的意见，但仍然提醒自己，“我想改变，因为我不想让人们对我感到沮丧，而不是因为我必须这样做。”)”可知，即使决定改变，也要提醒自己你是在主动选择改变。此处需要一个总结性的句子，强调个人选择改变的原因，选项G“这样你就可以提醒自己，你看到了改变的理由。”符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15 小题； 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During a trip to San Diego, my husband Dan and I came across two stars, Gracie and Billy, at the Bahia Resort Hotel.

On the day of the event, each participant had to go up onstage one by one and perform their piece in front of a panel of judges and an audience. At first, Angela was excited and confident, as she had been preparing for months, practicing diligently every day under the guidance of her piano teacher. However, as her turn approached, doubts began to flood her mind. “What if I played the wrong notes? What if I forgot the notes? What if I just mess up?” Angela remembered thinking. As these worries raced through her mind, Angela watched another girl perform. The girl played beautifully. Angela couldn’t help but feel kind of jealous y and admiration. Once the girl finished, she walked off stage to where Angela was waiting and did something unexpected. “She looked at me and smiled with a thumb up.” Angela said. The simple gesture took Angela by surprise. “Her smile made me think that today I'm just right and I can perform on the stage.” Encouraged by this act of kindness, Angela took a deep breath and walked out to the piano. She sat down, closed her eyes for a moment to steady herself, and then began to play. As her fingers moved over the keys, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. The notes flowed effortlessly, and she lost herself in the music. When she finished, Angela looked up and saw her competitor clapping for her, a genuine smile on her face. Seeing such a show of support has stuck with Angela over the years. “As a competitor, she gave me respect and helped a shy girl to face the stage,” Angela said. If she could talk to that girl again, here’s what Angela would say: “You changed a moment of my life, and your kind smile remained in my memory. And I’ll take that smile at a precious gift.” 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。 Several years have passed, but Angela always takes a moment to reflect on the power of a simple smile. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Angela’s experience also inspired her to help others. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Several years have passed, but Angela always takes a moment to reflect on the power of a simple smile. “That moment was a turning point for me,” she said. “It has taught me the importance of kindness and support, even in competitive environments. And I realized that a simple gesture, like a smile, could make a world of difference to someone who was feeling nervous and unsure of themselves.” Angela continued to pursue her passion for piano, participating in more competitions and performances. Each time she stepped onstage, she remembered the girl’s smile and the confidence it gave her. Angela’s experience also inspired her to help others. She began volunteering at local music schools, offering support to young students. She wanted to be that person who could offer a smile and a few kind words to a nervous performer. “Looking back, I believe the girl’s smile was a secret of my success,” said Angela. “It reminds me that kindness is just as important as talent. I hope to pass on this lesson to others, encouraging them to support and uplift one another.” 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Angela Zhao在参加她的第一次钢琴比赛时的经历和感受。Angela在比赛前虽然做了充分的准备，但临上场前却充满了自我怀疑。然而，在她之前表演的一个女孩用微笑和竖起的大拇指给予了她鼓励，这一简单的举动极大地鼓舞了Angela，让她重拾自信并成功完成了表演。事后，Angela对这位竞争对手的支持和善意深表感激，并认为这一经历对她的人生产生了积极的影响。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“几年过去了，但Angela总会花些时间反思一个简单微笑的力量。”可知，第一段可描写Angela反思的具体内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“Angela的经历也激励了她去帮助他人。”可知，第二段可描写Angela做志愿者帮助别人的过程以及感想。 2.续写线索：得到教训——追求所爱——参加比赛——做志愿者——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 意识到：realize/be aware of 追求：pursue/go in for 鼓励某人做某事：encourage sb to do sth/inspire sb to do sth 情绪类 紧张的：nervous/tense 缺乏自信的：unsure/unsecure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Each time she stepped onstage, she remembered the girl’s smile and the confidence it gave her.（运用了each time引导时间状语从句，省略了that的定语从句） [高分句型2] She wanted to be that person who could offer a smile and a few kind words to a nervous performer.（运用了who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
