Ian Fleming’s beachside villa Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica The entire property remains its private charm that defined the British writer’s life and work. This ultra-private two-bedroom villa comes with two additional guest cottages, a private servant and cook, its own beach and swimming pool, and, most notably, Fleming’s original writing desk from which 007 was born. Agatha Christie’s holiday home Devon, England Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot’s followers can get closer to the heart of Christie’s works by staying at her former holiday home in Devon, England. While the guest apartment has modern services and furniture. the rest of Greenway is styled like Christie would have had it in the 1950s, making it seem as though she and her family had just stepped out. An Austen family townhouse London, England Peaceful English country homes, with art-filled walls and names worthy of their place in history, exist almost as characters themselves in Jane Austen’s novels. A few of these temporary homes are now places where Austen fans can stay themselves. Opened in 2020 following an extensive repair to bring the townhouse back to its former glory, the hotel’s rooms are named for Austen family members who stayed or lived here. Add in the period antiques, a collection of Austen first editions, as well as original letters from Jane to her brother at this address. Tennessee Williams’s permanent hotel suite New York City, US For the last chapters of his life, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams made the fashionable Midtown Manhattan Hotel Elysée his home base. Today hotel guests can book a stay in what was part of Williams’s unconventional accommodation. Known as the Sunset Suite in his day, the space has been renamed the Tennessee Williams Suite and is decorated with photographs and handwritten notes from the playwright’s life and career. 1. Which hotel will you choose if you enjoy privacy? A. Ian Fleming’s beachside villa B. Agatha Christie’s holiday home. C. An Austen family townhouse. D. Tennessee Williams’s permanent hotel suite. 2. What do Agatha Christie’s holiday home and an Austen family townhouse have in common? A. They are both styled in a modern way. B. They both feature beautiful rural scenery. C. They are both located in the United Kingdom. D. They were both turned into hotels in the 1950s. 3. What can we know about Tennessee Williams’s permanent hotel suite? A. Tennessee decorated the hotel with pictures. B. Tennessee completed most of his works there. C. Tennessee named the hotel suite after himself. D. Tennessee spent the final years of his life there. B From a young age, I collected role models. In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Whitney Houston. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities. But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope. Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day! That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too-because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow. 4. How did the author build up her confidence? A. By cooperating with women of color. B. By observing and copying her models. C. By making friends with persons like her. D. By starting her own sunglasses company. 5. What is the author’s intention of creating an inspiration wall in her office? A. To inspire her employees’ creativity. B. To make her workplace more attractive. C. To encourage herself to achieve success. D. To improve her employees’ work efficiency. 6 Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky? A. She was afraid of being rejected. B. She only had Vicky’s email address. C. Vicky’s story had always motivated her. D. Vicky liked giving guidance to other women. 7. What can be concluded according to the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Strength flows both ways. C. A good beginning is half done. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Imagine hopping on a school bus and being transported to an immersive (沉浸式的) educational tour of the inside of the human body — and no, not on a fictional episode of The Magic School Bus. This is the kind of experience that Meta hopes to enable for students, digitally, through its Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets. Bring VR into more classrooms could enable new kinds of learning opportunities. For example, it may allow drama students to feel like they’re having an immersive, real-time experience watching Shakespeare’s work performed at the Globe Theatre in the 17 century. New Mexico University is using the headsets to teach criminal justice students to investigate virtual crime scenes, and Morehouse College has developed a “digital twin campus” to teach students a range of subjects through VR, both through a partner program with Meta to test educational applications of the technology. But VR also creates concerns about digital safety and the potential harm to humans who are having more digital interactions and fewer in-person ones. Moreover, the cost of involving VR headsets in the classroom could be an obstacle to adoption for the many schools already struggling with limited resources. While cheaper than some other headsets on the market, Meta’s Quest 3 devices still start at $499 each. Most importantly, it remains unclear just how useful virtual reality is in helping students learn better. “I think that VR is one area where additional research is necessary,” said Vincent Quan, an education researcher and co-executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab. “With technology, sure, it can have a lot of promise, but at the same time, there can also be a lot of hype (夸张的宣传), and I think it’s important to carefully evaluate these types of technologies. Sometimes you don’t know if it’s just innovative and cool versus actually impactful.” 8. Why is The Magic School Bus mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of VR. B. To promote immersive education. C. To recommend a popular TV series D. To advertise a new means of transport. 9. How can VR benefit students according to Paragraph 2? A. By increasing their in-person interactions. B. By satisfying diverse learning requirements. C. By assisting them in understanding concepts. D. By enabling learning beyond time limitations. 10. What can be inferred from the price of VR devices? A. The price will affect that of similar products in the market. B. The price is quite acceptable to both teachers and students. C. VR devices are more cost-effective than other learning tools. D. The price can be a heavy burden for financially troubled school. 11. What does Vincent Quan suggest about VR in education? A. Technology will make it useful and cheap. B. Teachers can depend on it in the classroom. C. It can benefit all students around the world. D. More research is needed to evaluate its impact D The US government just hired a researcher who thinks we can beat aging with fresh cloned bodies and brain updates. Jean Hébert, a new hire with the US Advanced Projects Agency for Health, is expected to lead a major new initiative around “functional brain tissue replacement”, the idea of adding youthful tissue to people’s brains. The brain renewal concept could have applications such as treating stroke (中风) victims, who lose areas of brain function. But Hébert, a biologist at the Albert Einstein school of medicine, has most often proposed total brain replacement, along with replacing other parts of our body, as the only reasonable means of avoiding death from old age. The idea sounds practical since there are already organ transplants. The trickiest part is your brain. That ages, too, shrinking dramatically in old age. But you don’t want to replace it with another—because it is you. And that’s where Hébert’s research comes in. He’s been exploring ways to “progressively” replace a brain by adding bits of youthful tissue made in a lab. The process would have to be done slowly enough. in steps, that your brain could adapt, relocating memories and your self-identity. Hébert has been carrying out initial experiments with mice, removing small sections of their brains and injecting slurries of embryonic cells (胚胎细胞). It’s a step toward proving whether such youthful tissue can survive and take over important functions. To be sure, the strategy is not widely accepted, even among researchers in the aging field. “On the surface it sounds completely crazy, but I was surprised how good a case he could make for it,” says Matthew Scholz, CEO of aging research company Oisin Biotechnologies, who met with Hébert this year. Scholz is still doubtful though. “A new brain is not going to be a popular item,” he says. “The surgical element of it is going to be very severe, no matter how you slice it” Now, though, Hébert’s ideas appear to have gotten support from the US government. 12. What function does brain replacement perform according to Hébert? A. Brain replacement helps people fight against death. B. Brain replacement stops brain shrinking in old age. C. Brain replacement makes old people much smarter. D. Brain replacement cures patients suffering a stroke. 13. What does the underlined word “progressively” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Hardly. B. Completely. C. Gradually. D. Immediately. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards Hébert’s ideas? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 15. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Replacing Your Brain Little by Little B. Slowing Down Aging in Your Real Life C. A Biologist Treating Your Brain Disease D. A Researcher Hired by the US Government 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 French Customs Around Eating Meals France is celebrated globally for its cooking contributions.

It has stunning views over the San Gabriel valley, a lovely pool and guest house. It is the last house before the Angeles national forest begins. On our first visit to the house, we saw a family of American black bears walking through the backyard. At first, I was a little scared as I hadn’t been around bears before, and thought of the online videos of bears causing damage by entering people’s homes and stealing food. But we liked the house so much that we decided to learn to live alongside them. My family like animals, but none of us were wildlife enthusiasts before we moved here. Then, after three months of living here, we fell in love with a bear—Maddie. Many bears visit our yard—they appear around four or five times a week. They include several males and a naughty female we call “Maddie”. Among them Maddie is the most distinctive. She is recognizable not only from her size—she is slightly smaller than the adult males—but also from her behavior. While other bears turn around when they encounter people, Maddie does the opposite. She watches us while we’re eating. She presses her nose up to the window next to the dining table. Once, she walked through the garden when we were having a pool party, and our guests got excited and started going crazy. That would scare most bears, but Maddie was not panicked. When we first met her, her boldness made us a little nervous, but we realized she’s a sweetheart, as long as we keep a safe distance. By the beginning of this year, we hadn’t seen Maddie for a few months. We were curious and a bit worried. Then one Monday at the beginning of May, I went to work and realized that I had forgotten my gym bag and decided to go home to make lunch and pick up the bag. 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。 I had just arrived and I saw two tiny bears on the floor—Maddie must have given birth ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I shared the video with my family and posted it on the Internet. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市育才中学校高2026届高二 (上) 十月月考 英语试题 (满分：150分;考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项：1. 答卷前，请考生务必把自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 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.

By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities. But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope. Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day! That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too-because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow. 4. How did the author build up her confidence? A. By cooperating with women of color. B. By observing and copying her models. C. By making friends with persons like her. D. By starting her own sunglasses company. 5. What is the author’s intention of creating an inspiration wall in her office? A. To inspire her employees’ creativity. B. To make her workplace more attractive. C. To encourage herself to achieve success. D. To improve her employees’ work efficiency. 6. Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky? A. She was afraid of being rejected. B. She only had Vicky’s email address. C. Vicky’s story had always motivated her. D. Vicky liked giving guidance to other women. 7. What can be concluded according to the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Strength flows both ways. C. A good beginning is half done. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者从小就从榜样中汲取力量，也一直认为榜样是一种单向关系，直到接触了其中一个榜样人物Vicky后才明白自己和榜样之间是互相帮助彼此成长的。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities.(通过观察和模仿别人——尤其是那些和我长相或声音相似的有色人种女性——我对自己的能力有了信心。)”可知，作者通过观察和模仿她的榜样来建立她的信心。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope.(我决定在我的办公室里建一面灵感墙，上面挂着我能看到的榜样的照片——像Oprah、Michelle Obama和一个护肤品牌的联合创始人Vicky这样的女性。我从没想过会遇到这些女人，但她们的成功给了我希望。)”可知，作者在办公室创建灵感墙是为了激励自己努力工作。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三年段中“I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me.(我选择了Vicky，她的经历一直激励着我。)”可知，作者选择联系Vicky是因为Vicky的故事一直激励着作者。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第四段中“All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.(在我的一生中，我一直认为榜样是一种单向关系：我从更强大的人那里获得力量。但情况不止于此。)”和最后一段中“We’re all here to help each other grow.(我们都是来帮助彼此成长的。)”可知，作者从小就从榜样中汲取力量，也一直认为榜样是一种单向关系，直到接触了其中一个榜样人物Vicky后才明白自己和榜样之间是互相帮助彼此成长，因此，根据文章可以得出的结论是力量是双向流动的。故选B。 C Imagine hopping on a school bus and being transported to an immersive (沉浸式的) educational tour of the inside of the human body — and no, not on a fictional episode of The Magic School Bus. This is the kind of experience that Meta hopes to enable for students, digitally, through its Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets. Bring VR into more classrooms could enable new kinds of learning opportunities. For example, it may allow drama students to feel like they’re having an immersive, real-time experience watching Shakespeare’s work performed at the Globe Theatre in the 17 century. New Mexico University is using the headsets to teach criminal justice students to investigate virtual crime scenes, and Morehouse College has developed a “digital twin campus” to teach students a range of subjects through VR, both through a partner program with Meta to test educational applications of the technology. But VR also creates concerns about digital safety and the potential harm to humans who are having more digital interactions and fewer in-person ones. Moreover, the cost of involving VR headsets in the classroom could be an obstacle to adoption for the many schools already struggling with limited resources. While cheaper than some other headsets on the market, Meta’s Quest 3 devices still start at $499 each. Most importantly, it remains unclear just how useful virtual reality is in helping students learn better. “I think that VR is one area where additional research is necessary,” said Vincent Quan, an education researcher and co-executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab. “With technology, sure, it can have a lot of promise, but at the same time, there can also be a lot of hype (夸张的宣传), and I think it’s important to carefully evaluate these types of technologies. Sometimes you don’t know if it’s just innovative and cool versus actually impactful.” 8. Why is The Magic School Bus mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of VR. B. To promote immersive education. C. To recommend a popular TV series D. To advertise a new means of transport. 9. How can VR benefit students according to Paragraph 2? A. By increasing their in-person interactions. B. By satisfying diverse learning requirements. C. By assisting them in understanding concepts. D. By enabling learning beyond time limitations. 10. What can be inferred from the price of VR devices? A. The price will affect that of similar products in the market. B. The price is quite acceptable to both teachers and students. C. VR devices are more cost-effective than other learning tools. D. The price can be a heavy burden for financially troubled school. 11. What does Vincent Quan suggest about VR in education? A. Technology will make it useful and cheap. B. Teachers can depend on it in the classroom. C. It can benefit all students around the world. D. More research is needed to evaluate its impact 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了将虚拟现实技术应用到课堂的现象，并指出了其中的一些问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine hopping on a school bus and being transported to an immersive (沉浸式的) educational tour of the inside of the human body—and no, not on a fictional episode of The Magic School Bus. This is the kind of experience that Meta hopes to enable for students, digitally, through its Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets.(想象一下，跳上校车，被带到人体内部的沉浸式教育之旅中——不，不是在《魔法校车》的虚构情节中。这是Meta希望通过其Quest虚拟现实（VR）耳机为学生提供的一种数字体验。)”可知，第一段描述了坐校车参与人体内部的沉浸式教育之旅的奇妙场景，并指出这并不是《魔法校车》的虚构情节，而是Quest虚拟现实（VR）耳机为学生提供的一种数字体验，由此可推测出，作者提到《魔法校车》是为了引出虚拟现实（VR）这个话题。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Bring VR into more classrooms could enable new kinds of learning opportunities. For example, it may allow drama students to feel like they’re having an immersive, real-time experience watching Shakespeare’s work performed at the Globe Theatre in the 17 century. New Mexico University is using the headsets to teach criminal justice students to investigate virtual crime scenes, and Morehouse College has developed a “digital twin campus” to teach students a range of subjects through VR, both through a partner program with Meta to test educational applications of the technology.(将VR带入更多的教室可以带来新类型的学习机会。例如，它可能会让戏剧专业的学生感觉他们正在观看17世纪在环球剧院上演的莎士比亚作品，这是一种身临其境的实时体验。新墨西哥大学正在使用耳机教刑事司法学生调查虚拟犯罪现场，莫尔豪斯学院开发了一个“数字双校园”，通过VR向学生教授一系列科目，这两个项目都是通过与Meta的合作项目来测试该技术的教育应用。)”可知，第二段指出VR可以带来新类型的学习机会，并罗列了喜剧专业学生观看莎士比亚作品、刑事司法学生调查虚拟犯罪现场、“数字双校园”的例子，从而说明VR可以满足不同的学习需求。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Moreover, the cost of involving VR headsets in the classroom could be an obstacle to adoption for the many schools already struggling with limited resources.(此外，对于许多已经在资源有限的情况下苦苦挣扎的学校来说，在课堂上使用VR耳机的成本可能会成为采用的障碍。)”可知，VR设备的价格高，对财政困难的学校来说是一个沉重的负担。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““I think that VR is one area where additional research is necessary,” said Vincent Quan, an education researcher and co-executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab.(Abdul Latif Jameel贫困行动实验室的教育研究员兼联合执行主任Vincent Quan说：“我认为VR是一个需要进一步研究的领域。”)”可知，Vincent Quan建议有必要对VR设备在教育中的运用进行进一步研究。故选D。 D The US government just hired a researcher who thinks we can beat aging with fresh cloned bodies and brain updates. Jean Hébert, a new hire with the US Advanced Projects Agency for Health, is expected to lead a major new initiative around “functional brain tissue replacement”, the idea of adding youthful tissue to people’s brains. The brain renewal concept could have applications such as treating stroke (中风) victims, who lose areas of brain function. But Hébert, a biologist at the Albert Einstein school of medicine, has most often proposed total brain replacement, along with replacing other parts of our body, as the only reasonable means of avoiding death from old age. The idea sounds practical since there are already organ transplants. The trickiest part is your brain. That ages, too, shrinking dramatically in old age. But you don’t want to replace it with another—because it is you. And that’s where Hébert’s research comes in. He’s been exploring ways to “progressively” replace a brain by adding bits of youthful tissue made in a lab. The process would have to be done slowly enough. in steps, that your brain could adapt, relocating memories and your self-identity. Hébert has been carrying out initial experiments with mice, removing small sections of their brains and injecting slurries of embryonic cells (胚胎细胞). It’s a step toward proving whether such youthful tissue can survive and take over important functions. To be sure, the strategy is not widely accepted, even among researchers in the aging field. “On the surface it sounds completely crazy, but I was surprised how good a case he could make for it,” says Matthew Scholz, CEO of aging research company Oisin Biotechnologies, who met with Hébert this year. Scholz is still doubtful though. “A new brain is not going to be a popular item,” he says. “The surgical element of it is going to be very severe, no matter how you slice it” Now, though, Hébert’s ideas appear to have gotten support from the US government. 12. What function does brain replacement perform according to Hébert? A. Brain replacement helps people fight against death. B. Brain replacement stops brain shrinking in old age. C. Brain replacement makes old people much smarter. D Brain replacement cures patients suffering a stroke. 13. What does the underlined word “progressively” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Hardly. B. Completely. C. Gradually. D. Immediately. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards Hébert’s ideas? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 15. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Replacing Your Brain Little by Little B. Slowing Down Aging in Your Real Life C. A Biologist Treating Your Brain Disease D. A Researcher Hired by the US Government 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是Hébert计划通过“功能性脑组织替换”来抗击衰老，即在人们的大脑中添加年轻的组织，并介绍了这项计划的具体实施方法和可能遇到的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“But Hébert, a biologist at the Albert Einstein school of medicine, has most often proposed total brain replacement, along with replacing other parts of our body, as the only reasonable means of avoiding death from old age.(但是，作为Albert Einstein医学院的生物学家，Hébert最常提出的建议是，完全替代大脑，以及替换身体的其他部分，这是避免老年死亡的唯一合理方法。)”可知，根据Hébert的说法，大脑替换可以帮助人们对抗死亡。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“The process would have to be done slowly enough. in steps, that your brain could adapt, relocating memories and your self-identity.(这个过程必须进行得足够缓慢。你的大脑可以逐步适应，重新定位记忆和自我认同。)”可知，这个过程必须足够缓慢，分步骤进行，这样大脑才能适应，重新定位记忆和自我认同，因此“progressively”意为“逐渐地”，和gradually意思相近，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“Scholz is still doubtful though. “A new brain is not going to be a popular item,” he says. “The surgical element of it is going to be very severe, no matter how you slice it” Now, though, Hébert’s ideas appear to have gotten support from the US government.(但Scholz仍持怀疑态度。“一个新的大脑不会是一个受欢迎的东西，”他说。“不管你怎么切，它的外科手术因素将是非常严重的。”不过，现在Hébert的想法似乎得到了美国政府的支持。)”可知，尽管Hébert的想法得到了美国政府的支持，但其他人仍然持怀疑态度，因此作者对于Hébert的想法是客观的，既提到了支持也提到了怀疑，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“But Hébert, a biologist at the Albert Einstein school of medicine, has most often proposed total brain replacement, along with replacing other parts of our body, as the only reasonable means of avoiding death from old age.(但是，作为Albert Einstein医学院的生物学家，Hébert最常提出的建议是，完全替代大脑，以及替换身体的其他部分，这是避免老年死亡的唯一合理方法。)”和第四段“The process would have to be done slowly enough. in steps, that your brain could adapt, relocating memories and your self-identity.(这个过程必须进行得足够缓慢。你的大脑可以逐步适应，重新定位记忆和自我认同。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Hébert计划通过“功能性脑组织替换”来抗击衰老，即在人们的大脑中添加年轻的组织，并介绍了这项计划的具体实施方法和可能遇到的问题，因此选项A“Replacing Your Brain Little by Little(一点一点地替换你的大脑)”可以概括文章主旨，适合做标题，故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 French Customs Around Eating Meals France is celebrated globally for its cooking contributions.

It has stunning views over the San Gabriel valley, a lovely pool and guest house. It is the last house before the Angeles national forest begins. On our first visit to the house, we saw a family of American black bears walking through the backyard. At first, I was a little scared as I hadn’t been around bears before, and thought of the online videos of bears causing damage by entering people’s homes and stealing food. But we liked the house so much that we decided to learn to live alongside them. My family like animals, but none of us were wildlife enthusiasts before we moved here. Then, after three months of living here, we fell in love with a bear—Maddie. Many bears visit our yard—they appear around four or five times a week. They include several males and a naughty female we call “Maddie”. Among them Maddie is the most distinctive. She is recognizable not only from her size—she is slightly smaller than the adult males—but also from her behavior. While other bears turn around when they encounter people, Maddie does the opposite. She watches us while we’re eating. She presses her nose up to the window next to the dining table. Once, she walked through the garden when we were having a pool party, and our guests got excited and started going crazy. That would scare most bears, but Maddie was not panicked. When we first met her, her boldness made us a little nervous, but we realized she’s a sweetheart, as long as we keep a safe distance. By the beginning of this year, we hadn’t seen Maddie for a few months. We were curious and a bit worried. Then one Monday at the beginning of May, I went to work and realized that I had forgotten my gym bag and decided to go home to make lunch and pick up the bag. 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。 I had just arrived and I saw two tiny bears on the floor—Maddie must have given birth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I shared the video with my family and posted it on the Internet. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I had just arrived and I saw two tiny bears on the floor—Maddie must have given birth. My heart skipped a beat with joy and excitement. I quickly and quietly backed away, not wanting to disturb the cubs. I felt a deep connection to Maddie and her family, as if we were part of the same community. I decided to keep a close watch on them from a safe distance, ensuring they had enough space and privacy. I was so excited that I decided to capture this heartwarming scene on camera. I shared the video with my family and posted it on the Internet. To my surprise, the video quickly went viral, attracting attention from wildlife enthusiasts and experts. Many commented on how rare it was to see a bear giving birth in such a close and personal setting. Some even reached out to us, offering advice and resources to help ensure the safety and well-being of Maddie and her cubs. It was heartwarming to see how much people cared about wildlife and were willing to come together to protect it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家在初次参观新房就遇到了黑熊家族，虽然一开始有些害怕，但他们还是决定学会与这些熊共存。经过三个月的相处，他们爱上了其中一只名叫Maddie的母熊。Maddie的行为与其他熊不同，她不怕人，甚至会观察他们吃饭，这让他们既紧张又觉得她很可爱。然而，几个月后，他们一直没有见到Maddie，这让他们感到好奇和担心。直到今年五月初的一个星期一，作者回家取遗忘的健身包。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我刚到，就看到地板上有两只小熊——Maddie一定是生孩子了。”可知，第一段可描写作者意外发现Maddie生了小熊的激动场景以及他对此的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“我和家人分享了这段视频，并把它上传到网上。”可知，第二段可描写作者将拍摄到的Maddie的小熊的视频和家人分享，并发布到互联网后所引发的反响。 2.续写线索：退后——观察——拍视频——视频走红——人们评论——提供建议——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①退后：back away/draw back ②拍摄：capture/shoot ③走红：go viral/be in vogue 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②激动：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] I decided to keep a close watch on them from a safe distance, ensuring they had enough space and privacy.
