B As a child of a Chinese mother and a British father, young Lily had always been fascinated by the rich tapestry of her dual heritage. However, it wasn’t until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea. Lily had grown up with the aroma of tea wafting through her home, a legacy of her mother’s Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside. Her mother, a connoisseur of Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfurl to reveal hidden flavors? Which infusions can evoke the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze? With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that transcended language and tradition. The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily’s own journey of self-discovery. She decided to embark on a quest to understand the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient beverage for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her “cultural eco-journey.” The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the meticulous care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step a testament to the harmony between human skill and natural bounty. She was captivated by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded on her palate, a testament to the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture. Over time, Lily has delved deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health and well-being. “Cultural immersion” is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. “The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious,” she says. “You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world.” 4. What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs? A. She was curious about her dual heritage. B. She preferred the British lifestyle. C. She had a deep interest in tea. D. She longed to visit China. 5. Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops? A. To learn about the tea-making process. B. To find the perfect cup of tea. C. To understand the cultural significance of tea. D. To test her knowledge of Chinese tea. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Longjing? A. To review Lily’s cultural journey. B. To show an application of Lily’s interest in tea. C. To compare different tea regions in China. D. To dispel doubts about the quality of Chinese tea. 7. What is the basis for Lily’s cultural exploration? A. The desire to connect with her Chinese roots. B. The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea. C. The fascination with the art of tea preparation. D. The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea. C Yes, having a big name in science will help get your paper published, a new study confirms. Involving hundreds of researchers reviewing an economics paper, the study found that reviewers were more likely to recommend acceptance when the paper was associated with a famous author compared to a lesser-known one. The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck conducted an extensive study. The team sent emails to about 3,300 researchers, inviting them to review an economics paper for a real journal. The paper had two authors: Vernon Smith, a Nobel Prize winner, and Sabiou Inoua, one of Smith’s former Ph. D. students. The potential reviewers received one of three descriptions of the paper: one mentioning only Smith, another mentioning only Inoua, and a third with no author mentioned. Of the researchers who agreed to review the paper, Smith’s fame influenced their responses. When given only Smith’s name, 38.5% accepted the invitation to review, while the figures were 30.7% for those given no name and 28.5% for those given only Inoua’s name. To further avoid prejudice, the team randomly assigned the 313 reviewers who initially received no author’s name to review one of three papers: one credited to Smith alone, another to Inoua alone,and a third with no authors listed. Reviewers rated the paper credited to Smith the highest, praising its inclusion of new information and data-supported conclusions. The version with no authors received recommendations for acceptance from 24% of reviewers, more than double the percentage for the version credited only to Inoua. The team warned against evaluating identical work differently based on the author’s identity and suggested that double-blind reviews may reduce the prejudice. However, this approach may not be effective as reviewers can often identify authors through preprints or conference presentations. 8. What does the term “the Matthew effect” refer to according to this passage? A. A topic of public concern. B. A preference in publication. C. A document describing coins. D. A way to get papers accepted. 9. Why did the team from the University of Innsbruck carry out the extensive study? A. To review an economics paper. B. To find fault with prior studies. C. To further investigate an effect. D. To study how to release papers. 10. What are presented in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Data reception and release. B. Paper description and scores. C. Research methods and findings. D. Authors’ identities and responses. 11. What does the team suggest to reduce the prejudice? A. Revising the review method. B. Reading the online preprint. C. Assessing different works. D. Adding new information. D Cities, often seen as ecological wastelands, actually have the potential to produce exceptional biologists. While traditional biologists typically come from rural backgrounds, urban residents possess diverse skill sets that make them better ones. Take myself as an example. Growing up in Philadelphia provided me with a unique angle to look at urban ecology. The city’s distinct seasons, plentiful squirrels, row homes, and festivals served as my first ecological classroom. It was there that I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, people driving bats from their homes, and snakes being killed by lawn mowers (割草机). This was ecology in action, as real as any observation in fields and forests. The unique environment of urban areas encourages wildlife there to develop distinct feature s and behaviors that set them apart from their rural counterparts: they may be larger in size, be active at different times of the day, move differently, and even display different personalities. Some biologists argue they are even “smarter” because they balance more risks, such as exposure to roads, poisonous chemicals and diseases from domestic animals — with rewards, of course, like inhabitable parks and human-provided food. As human residents of cities, we too adapt to the risks and challenges of urban living. This adaptation sharpens our intuition (直觉) — we learn which streets to avoid and lock our doors for safety. Our ability to assess threats and our awareness regarding safety influence our behaviors and choices, much as they do for urban wildlife. Shared experiences such as these enable us to better understand and appreciate urban wildlife. Most of the world’s population now accesses green and blue spaces, as well as wildlife, within urban neighborhoods. Nature is no longer only untouched wilderness; it includes sounds of human laughter, trash trucks and fire alarms. We urban residents are resourceful and imaginative. We need more capacity, more participation, more energy and more innovation in science to create solutions to fight environmental degradation and reduce biodiversity loss. Identifying this talent across cities presents a practical approach. 12 What did growing up in Philadelphia teach the author? A. Philadelphia is uniquely rich in wildlife. B. Studying biology at school helps greatly. C. Urban wild creatures need protection too. D. Cities are far from ecological wastelands. 13. What does the underlined word “counterparts” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Similar species. B. Potential enemies. C. Natural resources. D. Qualified biologists. 14. What experiences help urban residents understand wildlife better? A. Eco-friendly habits. B. Risk-aware behaviors. C. Ill-informed choices. D. Fast-paced urban life. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Cities Build Better Biologists B. What Makes Smarter Residents? C. Urban Areas Encourage Wildlife D. Who Saves Ecological Wastelands? 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。 Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____16____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement. “The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____17____ I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____18____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape. ____19____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise. Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____20____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration. A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place. B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only. C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time. D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation. E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance. F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty. G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Speaking of one’s reading life, most people would probably think of their first book, or how many books they have read.

I didn’t know there was a bigger world of books waiting for me to _____30_____ . The next period was between when I was five and a half to seven years old.

If someone throws something, I catch it almost before I’m aware it has been thrown. When I was young, I had no idea how useful this skill would become. Last week, I was going to visit a friend with her newborn and was on my way to a toy store to buy a gift. I’d once lived in the neighbourhood and I decided to head back to my old cupcake shop for a coffee. Sitting alone at a table outside with my drink, I was approached by an older man, who in a calm and very matter-of-fact way told me to call 911, because there was a baby on a fire escape. I jumped up to see where the baby was. I was so surprised to see it, wearing a little onesie (连体衣) and lying on the fire escape railings (栏杆) between the second and third storeys. I was nervous, so the baby boy became my only priority. As I was on the phone to the emergency services, I made eye contact with the child, keeping him calm, telling him to stay there. Some people were going up the stairs to find the parents, who were apparently sleeping through the whole drama. I just wanted the child to feel safe. I hoped he’d stay there until somebody could rescue him. Apparently he had slipped through pieces of cardboard placed next to an air-conditioning unit in the window, and without bars to protect him he’d crawled (爬) out and up the fire escape towards the next storey. He was only 16 months old. For him to even climb up and balance in that position was incredible. Then he slipped. Instinctively (本能), he grabbed on the railing as he fell, hanging by his arms. I knew he couldn’t hold on, 25 feet above the street, for long. I sensed people had gathered behind, but my attention was purely focused on my intention to catch the baby. 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 made sure I was positioned to catch him _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moments after he was saved were exciting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BACBA 6-10 CABAB 11-15 ACBBC 16-20 ACBBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届·普通高中名校联考信息卷（月考一） （高考研究卷） 英语 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 考生注意： 1. 本试卷共150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必将密封线内的项目填写清楚。 3. 请将答案填在答题卡上。 第Ⅰ卷 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

However, it wasn’t until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea. Lily had grown up with the aroma of tea wafting through her home, a legacy of her mother’s Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside. Her mother, a connoisseur of Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfurl to reveal hidden flavors? Which infusions can evoke the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze? With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that transcended language and tradition. The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily’s own journey of self-discovery. She decided to embark on a quest to understand the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient beverage for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her “cultural eco-journey.” The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the meticulous care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step a testament to the harmony between human skill and natural bounty. She was captivated by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded on her palate, a testament to the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture. Over time, Lily has delved deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health and well-being. “Cultural immersion” is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. “The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious,” she says. “You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world.” 4. What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs? A. She was curious about her dual heritage. B. She preferred the British lifestyle. C. She had a deep interest in tea. D. She longed to visit China. 5. Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops? A. To learn about the tea-making process. B. To find the perfect cup of tea. C. To understand the cultural significance of tea. D. To test her knowledge of Chinese tea. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Longjing? A. To review Lily’s cultural journey. B. To show an application of Lily’s interest in tea. C. To compare different tea regions in China. D. To dispel doubts about the quality of Chinese tea. 7. What is the basis for Lily’s cultural exploration? A. The desire to connect with her Chinese roots. B. The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea. C. The fascination with the art of tea preparation. D. The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7.

However, it wasn’t until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture.(作为一位中国母亲和一位英国父亲的孩子，年轻的Lily一直对她那丰富多彩的双重遗产感到着迷。然而，直到她第一次访问中国，她才真正开始欣赏中国文化的深度)”可知，她对自己的双重遗产很好奇，并且渴望了解中国文化。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. (Lily给自己定下的任务是让自己沉浸在茶文化中，亲身体验从采茶到泡茶的过程)”可知，Lily参观茶园和作坊是为了了解制茶过程。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“She decided to embark on a quest to understand the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient beverage for centuries.(她决定踏上一段旅程，以深入了解茶艺，学习中国人是如何数百年来培育并珍视这种古老的饮品的)”及第五段“The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the meticulous care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step a testament to the harmony between human skill and natural bounty. (Lily给自己设定的任务是沉浸在中国的茶文化之中，亲身体验从采茶到泡茶的全过程。首先，她参观了龙井郁郁葱葱的茶园，在那里她了解到每一片茶叶都需要精心照料。接着，她前往了工匠们制作茶叶的工作坊，在每一个步骤中都能见证人类技艺与大自然馈赠之间的和谐统一)”可知，作者提到龙井是为了展示Lily如何将自己对茶的兴趣付诸实践，即通过亲自去龙井的茶园学习来更深入地了解茶。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容及第一段中“As a child of a Chinese mother and a British father, young Lily had always been fascinated by the rich tapestry of her dual heritage.

Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world.’(‘文化沉浸’是Lily用来描述她理解自己文化遗产的方式。她说：‘对于好奇心旺盛的人来说，这个世界是一个充满体验的宝库。你沉浸在新的文化中，观察它们的传统。然后让这些新的见解塑造你对世界的理解。’)”可知，Lily的文化探索基于她想要与自己的中国根源建立联系的愿望。故选A。 C Yes, having a big name in science will help get your paper published, a new study confirms. Involving hundreds of researchers reviewing an economics paper, the study found that reviewers were more likely to recommend acceptance when the paper was associated with a famous author compared to a lesser-known one. The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck conducted an extensive study. The team sent emails to about 3,300 researchers, inviting them to review an economics paper for a real journal. The paper had two authors: Vernon Smith, a Nobel Prize winner, and Sabiou Inoua, one of Smith’s former Ph. D. students. The potential reviewers received one of three descriptions of the paper: one mentioning only Smith, another mentioning only Inoua, and a third with no author mentioned. Of the researchers who agreed to review the paper, Smith’s fame influenced their responses. When given only Smith’s name, 38.5% accepted the invitation to review, while the figures were 30.7% for those given no name and 28.5% for those given only Inoua’s name. To further avoid prejudice, the team randomly assigned the 313 reviewers who initially received no author’s name to review one of three papers: one credited to Smith alone, another to Inoua alone,and a third with no authors listed. Reviewers rated the paper credited to Smith the highest, praising its inclusion of new information and data-supported conclusions. The version with no authors received recommendations for acceptance from 24% of reviewers, more than double the percentage for the version credited only to Inoua. The team warned against evaluating identical work differently based on the author’s identity and suggested that double-blind reviews may reduce the prejudice. However, this approach may not be effective as reviewers can often identify authors through preprints or conference presentations. 8. What does the term “the Matthew effect” refer to according to this passage? A. A topic of public concern. B. A preference in publication. C. A document describing coins. D. A way to get papers accepted. 9. Why did the team from the University of Innsbruck carry out the extensive study? A. To review an economics paper. B. To find fault with prior studies. C. To further investigate an effect. D. To study how to release papers. 10. What are presented in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Data reception and release. B. Paper description and scores. C. Research methods and findings. D. Authors’ identities and responses. 11. What does the team suggest to reduce the prejudice? A. Revising the review method. B. Reading the online preprint. C. Assessing different works. D. Adding new information. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要介绍了科学界中马太效应的一个实证研究，该效应描述了在科学研究中对著名作者存在的偏见，以及这种偏见对论文发表机会的影响并提出了减少这种偏见的可能方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck conducted an extensive study. (马太效应是1968年创造的一个术语，用来描述这种偏见，多年来一直是科学家们关注的话题。然而，先前记录这种偏见的努力存在局限性，例如样本量小或缺乏随机化。为了解决这些问题，来自因斯布鲁克大学的一个团队进行了一项广泛的研究。)”可知，“马太效应”被描述为“对著名作者的偏见”和“基于作者身份对相同作品的不同评价”。它用来描述审稿人在接受与著名作者相关的论文时，相比于鲜为人知的作者，所表现出的偏见。这清楚地表明，它指的是出版过程中的偏好或偏见。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization.

(为了进一步避免偏见，研究小组随机分配了313名最初没有收到作者姓名的审稿人，让他们分别审查三篇论文中的一篇：一篇是Smith一个人的论文，另一篇是Inoua一个人的论文，还有一篇没有作者的论文。)”可知，在这两段中，首先介绍了研究团队使用的实验方法，即他们模拟了经济学领域论文的同行评审过程，并详细说明了实验的具体步骤。接着，在第4段中，他们呈现了研究的发现，即论文的作者身份确实对审稿人的评分有显著影响，这进一步验证了“马太效应”的存在。因此，这两段主要介绍了研究方法和发现。故选C。 11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The team warned against evaluating identical work differently based on the author’s identity and suggested that double-blind reviews may reduce the prejudice. However, this approach may not be effective as reviewers can often identify authors through preprints or conference presentations. (该团队警告说，不要根据作者的身份对相同的作品进行不同的评估，并建议双盲评审可能会减少偏见。然而，这种方法可能并不有效，因为审稿人通常可以通过预印本或会议演讲来识别作者。)”可知，研究人员认为减少偏见的唯一方法是修改评审方法。因此，团队建议的是修订评审方法以减少偏见。故选A。 D Cities, often seen as ecological wastelands, actually have the potential to produce exceptional biologists. While traditional biologists typically come from rural backgrounds, urban residents possess diverse skill sets that make them better ones. Take myself as an example. Growing up in Philadelphia provided me with a unique angle to look at urban ecology. The city’s distinct seasons, plentiful squirrels, row homes, and festivals served as my first ecological classroom. It was there that I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, people driving bats from their homes, and snakes being killed by lawn mowers (割草机). This was ecology in action, as real as any observation in fields and forests. The unique environment of urban areas encourages wildlife there to develop distinct feature s and behaviors that set them apart from their rural counterparts: they may be larger in size, be active at different times of the day, move differently, and even display different personalities. Some biologists argue they are even “smarter” because they balance more risks, such as exposure to roads, poisonous chemicals and diseases from domestic animals — with rewards, of course, like inhabitable parks and human-provided food. As human residents of cities, we too adapt to the risks and challenges of urban living. This adaptation sharpens our intuition (直觉) — we learn which streets to avoid and lock our doors for safety. Our ability to assess threats and our awareness regarding safety influence our behaviors and choices, much as they do for urban wildlife. Shared experiences such as these enable us to better understand and appreciate urban wildlife. Most of the world’s population now accesses green and blue spaces, as well as wildlife, within urban neighborhoods. Nature is no longer only untouched wilderness; it includes sounds of human laughter, trash trucks and fire alarms. We urban residents are resourceful and imaginative. We need more capacity, more participation, more energy and more innovation in science to create solutions to fight environmental degradation and reduce biodiversity loss. Identifying this talent across cities presents a practical approach. 12. What did growing up in Philadelphia teach the author? A. Philadelphia is uniquely rich in wildlife. B. Studying biology at school helps greatly. C. Urban wild creatures need protection too. D. Cities are far from ecological wastelands. 13. What does the underlined word “counterparts” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Similar species. B. Potential enemies. C. Natural resources. D. Qualified biologists. 14. What experiences help urban residents understand wildlife better? A. Eco-friendly habits. B. Risk-aware behaviors. C. Ill-informed choices. D. Fast-paced urban life. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Cities Build Better Biologists B. What Makes Smarter Residents? C. Urban Areas Encourage Wildlife D. Who Saves Ecological Wastelands? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一个来自城市的生物学家认为城市的生态系统和野外的生态系统一样值得研究，并且期待未来能有更多来自城市环境的生物学家一起创造生态学的未来。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“While traditional biologists typically come from rural backgrounds, urban residents possess diverse skill sets that make them better ones.(虽然传统的生物学家通常来自农村背景，但城市居民拥有多样化的技能，使他们成为更好的生物学家。)”和第二段“Take myself as an example. Growing up in Philadelphia provided me with a unique angle to look at urban ecology. The city’s distinct seasons, plentiful squirrels, row homes, and festivals served as my first ecological classroom. It was there that I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, people driving bats from their homes, and snakes being killed by lawn mowers(割草机). This was ecology in action, as real as any observation in fields and forests.(以我自己为例。在费城长大让我有了一个独特的角度来看待城市生态。这座城市分明的季节、丰富的松鼠、排屋和节日是我的第一个生态课堂。在那里，我亲眼目睹了野猫吃鸟和老鼠，人们把蝙蝠从家里赶出去，蛇被割草机杀死。这就是生态学的作用，就像在田野和森林里观察到的一样真实。)”可知，在费城长大教会作者城市并非生态荒地。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前文“The unique environment of urban areas encourages wildlife there to develop distinct feature s and behaviors(城市地区独特的环境促使野生动物发展出独特的特征和行为)”和下文“they may be larger in size, be active at different times of the day, move differently, and even display different personalities(它们可能体型较大，在一天中的不同时间活动，动作不同，甚至表现出不同的个性)”可推断，这让它们与农村的野生动物区分开来，因此推断划线词与A项“相似物种”意思相近，故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Our ability to assess threats and our awareness regarding safety influence our behaviors and choices, much as they do for urban wildlife. Shared experiences such as these enable us to better understand and appreciate urban wildlife.(我们评估威胁的能力和安全意识会影响我们的行为和选择，就像它们对城市野生动物的影响一样。这些共同的经历使我们能够更好地理解和欣赏城市野生动物。)”可知，风险意识行为有助于城市居民更好地了解野生动物。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While traditional biologists typically come from rural backgrounds, urban residents possess diverse skill sets that make them better ones.( 虽然传统的生物学家通常来自农村背景，但城市居民拥有多样化的技能，使他们成为更好的生物学家。)”和最后一段“We urban residents are resourceful and imaginative. We need more capacity, more participation, more energy and more innovation in science to create solutions to fight environmental degradation and reduce biodiversity loss. Identifying this talent across cities presents a practical approach.(我们城市居民足智多谋，想象力丰富。我们需要更多的能力、更多的参与、更多的精力和更多的科学创新，以创造应对环境退化和减少生物多样性丧失的解决方案。在各个城市寻找这样的人才是一种实用的方法。)”可知，文章首尾呼应，点明主题——城市可以培养出更好的生物学家。故选A项。 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。 Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____16____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement. “The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____17____ I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____18____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape. ____19____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise. Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____20____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration. A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place. B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only. C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time. D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation. E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance. F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty. G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要描述了克莱夫登花园的美丽以及花园带给作者的感悟。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away.(在一个阳光明媚的冬日，站在克莱夫登花园的一座小山上，深绿色的湖泊被百年古树环绕，这让我屏息凝神)”以及后文“It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.(它只是伦敦附近的一个当地公园，我在英国生活的八年里从未听说过它。当我欣赏这个宁静的花园时，它教会了我一个关于英国低调文化的教训)”可知，本句主要说明了上文提到的克莱夫登花园的情况，结合后文提到这是一个公园，故A选项“克莱夫登不是一个著名的度假胜地”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文““The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty.(“英国的风景更美，因为它的美是低调的，”后来我们参观泰特英国美术馆的一个展览时，我的朋友威尔对我说。他指着一幅描绘宁静乡村的画。“这是我成长的环境，”他说。与大瀑布或野生森林不同，这里的风景并不张扬它的美丽)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文说明朋友对英国风景的看法，故E选项“但我看得越多，就越能看到它宁静的优雅”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London.(我想知道中国游客是否会去伦敦以外的地方旅游)”以及后文“Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.(的确，牛津大学和剑桥大学以及深受人们喜爱的湖区国家公园都是英国的标志性象征。但如果他们错过了英国风景中鲜为人知的部分，那就太遗憾了)”可知，上文提到了中国游客是否回去伦敦以外的地方旅游的疑问，后文则提到了一些著名景点，可知本句是在说明中国游客的旅游特点，故D选项“他们更喜欢名声好的地方”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.(我记得有一次一个全A的同学告诉我，他“通过了考试”，另一个牛津的朋友介绍自己是“在农村学习”。这种谦虚在中国文化中也有反映。我记得我的父母告诉我要努力学习，但不要吹嘘自己的成就。中国文化中充满了“真金迟早会发光”这样的谚语，鼓励人们长期致力于自己选择的专业领域)”可知，本段的主旨是关于谦逊，且后文提到了牛津的朋友，说明本句是在说明英国人的谦虚。故F选项“这些年来，我已经熟悉了英国人的谦逊”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement.(经历了这两种文化，我意识到英语和汉语都用低调来表达成就)”以及后文“It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.(它反映了中英两国传统中不可言说的魅力。这是一个人迹罕至的景点，非常值得探索)”可知，作者经历了两种文化，且都强调了低调，可知本句承接上文说明文化对作者的影响，后文It指代Cliveden。故G选项“这种混合使我欣赏克利夫登不同寻常的美”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（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Speaking of one’s reading life, most people would probably think of their first book, or how many books they have read.

If someone throws something, I catch it almost before I’m aware it has been thrown. When I was young, I had no idea how useful this skill would become. Last week, I was going to visit a friend with her newborn and was on my way to a toy store to buy a gift. I’d once lived in the neighbourhood and I decided to head back to my old cupcake shop for a coffee. Sitting alone at a table outside with my drink, I was approached by an older man, who in a calm and very matter-of-fact way told me to call 911, because there was a baby on a fire escape. I jumped up to see where the baby was. I was so surprised to see it, wearing a little onesie (连体衣) and lying on the fire escape railings (栏杆) between the second and third storeys. I was nervous, so the baby boy became my only priority. As I was on the phone to the emergency services, I made eye contact with the child, keeping him calm, telling him to stay there. Some people were going up the stairs to find the parents, who were apparently sleeping through the whole drama. I just wanted the child to feel safe. I hoped he’d stay there until somebody could rescue him. Apparently he had slipped through pieces of cardboard placed next to an air-conditioning unit in the window, and without bars to protect him he’d crawled (爬) out and up the fire escape towards the next storey. He was only 16 months old. For him to even climb up and balance in that position was incredible. Then he slipped. Instinctively (本能), he grabbed on the railing as he fell, hanging by his arms. I knew he couldn’t hold on, 25 feet above the street, for long. I sensed people had gathered behind, but my attention was purely focused on my intention to catch the baby. 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 made sure I was positioned to catch him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moments after he was saved were exciting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I made sure I was positioned to catch him. The firemen had not yet arrived, but the baby seemed unable to hold on. There was a lot of people around, but no one had a good idea to save him. The baby’s parents still did not appear. I tried to open my eyes to the glare of the sun to locate the baby. Suddenly the baby’s hand let go of the railing and dropped rapidly. I caught him as quickly as I could. At that moment my hanging heart finally fell down. The moments after he was saved were exciting. The crowd moved out of the way and the firemen arrived. Everyone felt nervous when the doctor examined the baby. A lot of people also expressed their admiration and respect for me. A woman took the baby out of my hands and explained to me that she was the mother. And then She sincerely thanked me. While everyone was circling around the baby, I left silently and walked to my friend’s house. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。“我”一直都知道“我”的手很快。“我”拿着饮料独自坐在小蛋糕店外面的一张桌子旁，一个人让“我”打911，因为在防火梯上有一个婴儿。婴儿本能地抓住栏杆，双臂悬吊着。“我”知道他不可能在离街道25英尺高的地方坚持太久。“我”感觉到有人聚集在后面，但“我”的注意力完全集中在“我”想要抓住孩子上。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我确定了我要抓住他的位置。”可知，第一段可以描写“我”抓住婴儿的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“他被救后的那一刻是激动人心的。”可知，第二段可以描写婴儿获救后人们的反应。 2.续写线索：找好位置——掉下——接住——检查——没受伤——收到感谢——离开 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：arrive/ reach ②拯救：save/ rescue ③出现：appear/ turn up 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/strained ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】I tried to open my eyes to the glare of the sun to locate the baby.(运用了不定式to locate作目的状语) 【高分句型2】Everyone felt nervous when the doctor examined the baby.
