Their stories are still being written, and they won't be complete until you share your side. The Missing Pieces Project invites you to share your pictures and stories of the unique, significant and memorable places on the National Heritage List for England. The List is a register of all nationally protected his toric buildings and sites across England. Your view of a place is as unique as you are, so every snapshot and story you add is an important piece of the picture. And the more pieces of the picture we have, the better we can work together to protect what makes these places special. Whether you have a connection to a place already or you' re discovering it for the first time, your views add important new pieces to the picture. Images: from phone snaps to scans of old photos and architects' drawings, from wide angles to close-ups Stories: from memories of holidays, school trips and family events to information about grand openings and transformations Photos must be ones you took yourself, from public land or rights of way, or with permission from the landowner. To add an historic image, you must have the rights to it. See the Missing Pieces Project terms and conditions for more information. Sign in and make a difference. 21 What is the purpose of the Missing Pieces Project? A. To create fine art pieces. B. To preserve historic places. C. To promote a story contest. D. To teach photography skills. 22. How can you contribute to the project? A. By scanning a portrait of a great architect. B. By taking a picture of a newly- built museum. C. By writing a special story of your trip to France. D. By sharing memories of a protected English site. 23. What is required for a photo taken on a private land? A. Quality information. B. Public permission. C. The owner's support. D. A right background. B To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 24. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 25. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 26 What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support to the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’conditions. 27. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A shift in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. C An ancient diamond found in Botswana contains a never- before- seen mineral that came from deep inside Earth. The mineral — named davemaoite — provides a unique window into deep- Earth chemistry. Originally dug up in a mine in Orapa, Botswana, the diamond is about 4 millimetres wide and weighs 81 milligrams. A dealer sold it in 1987 to a scientist, but neither the dealer nor the scientist had any idea how special it was. The diamond was more recently analysed by Oliver Tschauner at the University of Nevada. Most diamonds form 120 to 250 kilometres underground. Tschauner and his colleagues realised that the Botswanan diamond was from the lower mantle (地幔), which begins 660 kilometres below the surface. After examining it using X-rays, they discovered tiny crystal s of another mineral trapped inside. The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before. They named the new calcium silicate mineral davemaoite in honour of deep- Earth scientist Ho-Kwang “Dave” Mao. Normally, davemaoite’s crystal structure would break apart if it was brought up to Earth’s surface because of the massive drop in pressure. But because it was trapped inside a diamond, it was preserved on its long journey up to the Orapa mine. “When we broke open the diamond, the davemaoite stayed intact for about a second, and then we saw it expand under the microscope and basically turn into glass,” says Tschauner. The molecules within it take on a particular cubic arrangement known as a perovskite structure. This structure shows it could only have formed under the extreme conditions experienced in the lower mantle, where the pressure is more than 200,000 times that found at Earth’s surface. Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 per cent of Earth’s lower mantle, and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and potassium-40 that heat Earth as they decay. Without these radioactive elements, the Earth would have cooled by now. 28. What do we know about the mineral davemaoite? A. It was named in memory of a great politician. B. It was discovered as soon as the diamond was found. C. It had never actually been found before the discovery. D. It had been stuck in a diamond 200 kilometres underground. 29. What does the underlined word “intact” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Divided. B. Overlooked. C. Hidden. D. Undamaged. 30. Why is the mineral davemaoite significant? A. Because it has a cooling effect. B. Because its internal structure is special. C. Because it contains heat- producing elements. D. Because its formation background is extreme. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the uses of a substance. B. To introduce the discovery of a mineral. C. To stress the role of deep- Earth chemistry. D. To advocate the protection of radioactive elements. D Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia. In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.” Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations. 32. What do we know about UPFs? A. They have no nutritional value. B. They are ready-made and instant foods. C. They are cheap and mass-produced. D. They serve as additions to our daily diets. 33. What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 34. What do researchers suggest doing? A. Collecting higher taxes on UPFs. B. Decreasing UPFs’ consumption in diet. C. Focusing on the nutrient content of foods. D. Increasing public awareness of whole foods. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Public Health Response to UPFs B. Physical Disorders Linked to UPFs C. Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D. Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health 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。 The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. ______36______ It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example. A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). _______37_______ These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. ______38______ Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life. ______39______ Why? Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life. But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life? ______40______ You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person. A. Negative emotions do the opposite. B. However, the skills themselves live on. C. But many of us look at things negatively. D. The biggest benefit is an improved ability. E. That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable. F. In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills. G. Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick. 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) Ezra suffered liver (肝脏) damage at birth.

Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it. Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening. Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change. Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.” Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved. However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.” Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 树德中学高 2022 级高三上学期 11 月半期测试 英语试题 考试时间：120 分钟 满分 150 分 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。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】 Who is the man probably talking to?

In 2018, the value of the so-called “purple pound” (the spending power of disabled people) to UK tourism was estimated at ￡15.3 billion, while 27 million travelers with disabilities in the US took 81 million trips and spent about $58.7 billion (￡45.8 billion) in that same year. There was a survey about a city’s appeal to disabled travelers. Now, let’s find out what the respondents think of the top 3 cities - Singapore, Las Vegas and Sydney. According to Nilesh Joshi, who has mobility challenges but doesn’t use a wheelchair, “Singapore allows me to independently move around using public transport.” Overwhelmingly, however, the most important factor for survey respondents was not physical accessibility but being treated with understanding and respect. Joshi said, “Always smiling, welcoming and helpful, the people of Singapore make a big difference for the disabled to feel accepted and looked after.” Besides, one of Singapore’s major tourist attractions, Gardens by the Bay, is fully wheelchair -accessible. According to prominent wheelchair blogger John Morris, who visits Las Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, “The city has one of the highest concentrations of accessible hotel rooms in the world.” Julie Jones, publisher of Travel Without Limits, the world’s only print magazine dedicated to accessible travel, praises Sydney’s accessibility. She said, “The majority of the public transport system is accessible to wheelchair users.” 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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Missing Pieces Project: Add Your Pieces to the Big Picture All over England are places with stories to tell: from buildings to battlefields, some on your doorstep, others just a day trip away. Their stories are still being written, and they won't be complete until you share your side. The Missing Pieces Project invites you to share your pictures and stories of the unique, significant and memorable places on the National Heritage List for England. The List is a register of all nationally protected his toric buildings and sites across England. Your view of a place is as unique as you are, so every snapshot and story you add is an important piece of the picture. And the more pieces of the picture we have, the better we can work together to protect what makes these places special. Whether you have a connection to a place already or you' re discovering it for the first time, your views add important new pieces to the picture. Images: from phone snaps to scans of old photos and architects' drawings, from wide angles to close-ups Stories: from memories of holidays, school trips and family events to information about grand openings and transformations Photos must be ones you took yourself, from public land or rights of way, or with permission from the landowner. To add an historic image, you must have the rights to it. See the Missing Pieces Project terms and conditions for more information. Sign in and make a difference. 21. What is the purpose of the Missing Pieces Project? A To create fine art pieces. B. To preserve historic places. C. To promote a story contest. D. To teach photography skills. 22. How can you contribute to the project? A. By scanning a portrait of a great architect. B. By taking a picture of a newly- built museum. C. By writing a special story of your trip to France. D. By sharing memories of a protected English site. 23. What is required for a photo taken on a private land? A Quality information. B. Public permission. C. The owner's support. D. A right background. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了“缺失的碎片项目”的相关信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“And the more pieces of the picture we have, the better we can work together to protect what makes these places special.(我们拥有的照片越多，我们就能更好地共同保护这些地方的独特之处)”可推知，这个项目的目的是为了保护历史遗址。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Missing Pieces Project invites you to share your pictures and stories of the unique, significant and memorable places on the National Heritage List for England.(“缺失的碎片项目”邀请您分享您在英国国家遗产名录上的独特、重要和令人难忘的地方的照片和故事)”可知，通过分享受保护的英国遗址的记忆来为该项目做出贡献。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Photos must be ones you took yourself, from public land or rights of way, or with permission from the landowner.(照片必须是你自己拍的，获得公共土地或道路权利，或得到土地所有者的许可)”可知，在私人土地上拍摄的照片必须有土地所有者的支持。故选C。 B To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 24. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 25. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support to the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’conditions. 27. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A shift in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了卡兰斯通过建立Wild Shaale项目来改变学生对野生动物的看法。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals.(但在她的家乡，孩子们从小就对野生动物持消极态度。大象毁坏了庄稼，有时人们严重受伤或死亡。卡兰斯发现，孩子们不会欣赏这样一个事实：这里是观看非凡动物的最佳地点)”可知，卡兰斯的家乡面临问题是人类与野生动物的冲突。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning.(该项目专为经常接触野生动物的学生设计，旨在培养对野生动物和野生空间的真正理解，并超越野生动物的耐受性，了解保护和环境问题的概念。保育教育计划填补了环境学习的空白)”可知，Karanth启动Wild Shaale项目是为了改变学生对野生动物的看法。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.”(虽然幸运的是，基础环境教育得到了当地政府的支持，但Karanth认为，挑战在于课程的质量，以及课程是否有效和持续。“你必须想象这些学校是什么样子。他们可能没有电——更别提有电脑、互联网、ipad或任何东西了。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了项目的障碍。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors.(鼓励学生发现自己和动物之间的共同点是改变观念和行为的第一步)”可知，卡兰斯想在这个项目中实现人类态度和行为的转变。故选A。 C An ancient diamond found in Botswana contains a never- before- seen mineral that came from deep inside Earth. The mineral — named davemaoite — provides a unique window into deep- Earth chemistry. Originally dug up in a mine in Orapa, Botswana, the diamond is about 4 millimetres wide and weighs 81 milligrams. A dealer sold it in 1987 to a scientist, but neither the dealer nor the scientist had any idea how special it was. The diamond was more recently analysed by Oliver Tschauner at the University of Nevada. Most diamonds form 120 to 250 kilometres underground. Tschauner and his colleagues realised that the Botswanan diamond was from the lower mantle (地幔), which begins 660 kilometres below the surface. After examining it using X-rays, they discovered tiny crystal s of another mineral trapped inside. The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before. They named the new calcium silicate mineral davemaoite in honour of deep- Earth scientist Ho-Kwang “Dave” Mao. Normally, davemaoite’s crystal structure would break apart if it was brought up to Earth’s surface because of the massive drop in pressure. But because it was trapped inside a diamond, it was preserved on its long journey up to the Orapa mine. “When we broke open the diamond, the davemaoite stayed intact for about a second, and then we saw it expand under the microscope and basically turn into glass,” says Tschauner. The molecules within it take on a particular cubic arrangement known as a perovskite structure. This structure shows it could only have formed under the extreme conditions experienced in the lower mantle, where the pressure is more than 200,000 times that found at Earth’s surface. Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 per cent of Earth’s lower mantle, and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and potassium-40 that heat Earth as they decay. Without these radioactive elements, the Earth would have cooled by now. 28. What do we know about the mineral davemaoite? A. It was named in memory of a great politician. B. It was discovered as soon as the diamond was found. C. It had never actually been found before the discovery. D. It had been stuck in a diamond 200 kilometres underground. 29. What does the underlined word “intact” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Divided. B. Overlooked. C. Hidden. D. Undamaged. 30. Why is the mineral davemaoite significant? A. Because it has a cooling effect. B. Because its internal structure is special. C. Because it contains heat- producing elements. D. Because its formation background is extreme. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the uses of a substance. B. To introduce the discovery of a mineral. C. To stress the role of deep- Earth chemistry. D. To advocate the protection of radioactive elements. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为davemaoite的新矿物的发现及其重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before.(这些晶体原来是硅酸钙的一种形式，理论上存在于下地幔中，但以前从未被观测到)”可知，在这次发现之前，davemaoite这种矿物实际上从未被发现过。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Normally, davemaoite’s crystal structure would break apart if it was brought up to Earth’s surface because of the massive drop in pressure. But because it was trapped inside a diamond, it was preserved on its long journey up to the Orapa mine.(通常情况下，如果由于压力的大幅下降而被带到地球表面，davemaoite晶体结构会破裂。但由于它被困在一颗钻石中，在通往奥拉帕矿的漫长旅程中被保存了下来)”和后文“and then we saw it expand under the microscope and basically turn into glass(然后我们看到它在显微镜下膨胀，基本上变成了玻璃)”可知，当我们打开钻石时，davemaoite晶体在不被损害的情况下保持约一秒钟，然后我们看到它在显微镜下膨胀，基本上变成了玻璃。所以划线单词intact 意为“完好无损的，未被损坏的”，与Undamaged意思一致。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 per cent of Earth’s lower mantle, and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and potassium-40 that heat Earth as they decay. Without these radioactive elements, the Earth would have cooled by now.(Davemaoite被认为约占地球下地幔的5%，它很重要，因为它还可以容纳铀、钍和钾-40等放射性元素，这些元素在衰变时会加热地球。如果没有这些放射性元素，地球现在应该已经冷却了)”可知，Davemaoite还可以容纳铀、钍和钾-40 等放射性元素，这些元素在衰变时会加热地球。所以它的重要性在于含有产生热量的放射性元素。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“An ancient diamond found in Botswana contains a never- before- seen mineral that came from deep inside Earth. The mineral — named davemaoite — provides a unique window into deep- Earth chemistry. Originally dug up in a mine in Orapa, Botswana, the diamond is about 4 millimetres wide.(在博茨瓦纳发现的一颗古老的钻石中含有一种前所未见的矿物，这种矿物来自地球深处。这种矿物被命名为davemaoite，它为研究地球深部的化学成分提供了一个独特的窗口。这颗钻石最初是在博茨瓦纳的奥拉帕矿中挖掘出来的，直径约4毫米)”可推知， 本篇文章的目的是介绍了一种新发现的矿物davemaoite。故选B。 D Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia. In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.” Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations. 32. What do we know about UPFs? A. They have no nutritional value. B. They are ready-made and instant foods. C. They are cheap and mass-produced. D. They serve as additions to our daily diets. 33. What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 34. What do researchers suggest doing? A. Collecting higher taxes on UPFs. B. Decreasing UPFs’ consumption in diet. C. Focusing on the nutrient content of foods. D. Increasing public awareness of whole foods. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Public Health Response to UPFs B. Physical Disorders Linked to UPFs C. Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D. Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。超加工食品的消费在过去20年中有所增加。人们已知，较高的超加工食品摄入量与超重和心脏病有关，而一项新研究表明，超加工食品对心理健康也有负面影响，它可能会增加痴呆、抑郁和焦虑的风险。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. (超加工食品含有很少或不含天然食物，是工业生产的，是即食或即热的，并含有添加剂。食品的超加工降低了其营养价值)”可推知，UPFs是预先制成的快餐食品。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines. (考虑到UPF消费的暴露程度和影响，本研究在临床实践和公共卫生方面具有重要意义。这可能有助于改善未来饮食指南的制定)”可推知，Eric Hecht对这项研究持肯定的态度，故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. (研究人员建议对UPF征税，并实施减少消费的政策)”可推知，研究人员建议人们要降低膳食中超加工食品的比例，减少超加工食品的摄入量。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. (现在，研究已经扩展到检查它对心理健康的影响)”和第二段中的“After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. (在调整了其他可能影响痴呆症风险的因素（如年龄、性别和心脏病）后，研究人员发现，每天摄入upf每增加10%，患痴呆症的风险就会增加25%)”和第三段中的“In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. (在另一项研究中，研究人员发现，摄入最多upf的人，轻度抑郁、“精神不健康日”和“焦虑日”的症状显著增加)”可知，本文主要介绍的是超加工食品对心理健康的负面影，它可能会增加人们痴呆、抑郁和焦虑的风险。由此可知，D选项“Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health (UPF对心理健康的负面影响)”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。 The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. ______36______ It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example. A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). _______37_______ These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. ______38______ Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life. ______39______ Why? Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life. But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life? ______40______ You probably know what things work well for you Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person. A. Negative emotions do the opposite. B. However, the skills themselves live on. C. But many of us look at things negatively. D. The biggest benefit is an improved ability. E. That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable. F. In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills. G. Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick. 【答案】36. D 37. F 38. B 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了积极情绪对身心所带来的好处，并呼吁人们在制定日常生活计划时，应该考虑一下放松的时间。 【36题详解】 上文“The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal.(在几分钟的良好情绪恢复正常后，积极情绪的好处永远不会停止)”说明积极情绪会有持久的好处，以及下文“It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life.(它将有助于培养技能和开发资源，供日后使用)”说明积极情绪可以有助于培养技能，D项“最大的好处是提高了能力”承接上文，并引出下文内容，符合题意。故选D。 【37题详解】 上文“A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills).(孩子在外面跑来跑去，在树枝上荡来荡去，和朋友一起玩，培养运动能力（身体技能），与他人玩耍和与团队沟通的能力（社交技能），以及探索和审视周围世界的能力（创造性技能）)”说明孩子在外面玩可以培养各种不同的能力和有价值的技能，F项中skills是关键词，F项“通过这种方式，积极的情绪有助于培养有价值的技能。”承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【38题详解】 上文“The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended.(促进新技能探索和创造的快乐早已结束)”说明促进技能的积极情绪没有了，B项“然而，这些技能本身仍然存在。”说明技能仍然存在，与上文形成转折关系，符合本段主旨“These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them.(这些技能比引发它们的情绪持续的时间长得多)”题意。故选B。 【39题详解】 上文“Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.(研究人员称之为“拓宽和构建”理论，因为积极的情绪拓宽了你对可能性的感知，打开了你的思维，这反过来又让你能够培养新的技能和资源，为你生活的其他领域提供价值)”以及下文“Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). (因为当存在直接威胁或危险（比如路上的老虎）时，培养未来使用的技能是无关紧要的)”说明积极情绪与消极情绪形成对比，消极情绪的作用是相反的，A项“消极情绪的作用恰恰相反。”承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 【40题详解】 上文“But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life?(但是你怎样才能让自己在生活中变得积极呢？)”提出问题，G项“任何唤起快乐、满足和爱的感觉都会奏效。”说明让自己在生活中变得积极的方法，回答上文的问题，符合题意。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) Ezra suffered liver (肝脏) damage at birth.

Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it. Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening. Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change. Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.” Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved. However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.” Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help.

The joy she felt when a solution clicked into place was something she had never expected to experience with math. Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. She sat in the classroom, her hands trembling slightly as she received her test paper. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the grade – a solid A. Tears of relief and happiness welled up in her eyes. She looked up at Mr. Jenkins, who stood at the back of the classroom, watching her with a proud smile. In that moment, Emily knew that she had not only conquered her fear of math but also discovered the power of perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Emily Harper擅长艺术，但数学一直是她的弱项。尽管努力，她的成绩仍然不理想。她的父母找来退休教师Mr. Jenkins帮助她。通过独特的教学方式，Mr. Jenkins将数学与艺术联系起来，逐渐帮助Emily克服了恐惧，最终取得了好成绩，证明了坚持的力量。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在Mr. Jenkins的帮助下，Emily的自信心逐渐增强。”可知，第一段可描写Emily的转变的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“出成绩那天，Emily的心怦怦直跳”可知，第二段可描写Emily得知自己成绩的喜悦和出乎意料，明白了坚持的意义。 2. 续写线索：信心增加——喜欢挑战——喜悦——得知考试成绩——惊喜——Emily的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①理解：understand/comprehend ②开始：start/begin ③看：watch/observe 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/dread ②快乐：happiness/joy 【点睛】【高分句型1】The joy she felt when a solution clicked into place was something she had never expected to experience with math.
