But you don’t have to kiss the backyard barbecues, longer days, and boost of Vitamin D goodbye just yet. Welcome to Sydney, a heaven for true summer enthusiasts, where travelers can extend the warm weather for a few more sun-soaked months. Whether you’ re after a relaxed beach getaway or a cultured city escape, there are plenty of places to go that will help stave off the winter chill just a bit longer. When to go Book your trip for Australia’s summer, between November and February. It’s especially fun to visit over the holiday season, when sweating Santas walk the beaches near Bondi and fireworks crackle over Sydney Harbour on New Year’s Eve. If you’re looking to avoid the crowds and sky-high prices, book a trip in November or February when local kids are back in school. Where to embrace the heat The Bondi to Coogee Walk is a must-do 3.7-mile walk along the city’s craggy cliffs. Be sure to wear a swimsuit so you can stop at coves such as Clovelly Beach and Bronte Beach along the way and take a dip. Hop aboard the ferry from the harbor to Watsons Bay for incredible views. And if you’re feeling adventurous, take in the city from above as you climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Where to eat Sydney has no shortage of waterside restaurants. Arguably one of the most iconic in the city, Icebergs Dining Room has a menu full of freshly-caught fish and views of its famous rock pool. For something less tourist-filled, try Catalina in Rose Bay. It has views of the harbor and some of the city’s finest rock oysters, being the most liked leisurely restaurant in the city. Where to stay The new Capella Sydney is arguably the city’s most fabulous stay, thanks to its striking indigenous art and use of Australian-made products. If you’re planning to see as many city sights as possible, the Ace Hotel Sydney is a great centrally located spot—and don’t miss its rooftop bar where you can fully bask in a summer breeze. 1. Which is the tourist peak season of Sydney? A. January. B. February. C. August. D. November. 2. Where can tourists get a bird’s eye view of the city? A. Bondi to Coogee Walk. B. Clovelly Beach. C. Watsons Bay. D. Sydney Harbour Bridge. 3. What is special about Catalina in Rose Bay? A. The freshly-cooked fish. B. The views of rock pool. C. The reviews of the tourists. D. The relaxing atmosphere. B I helped a friend move house 18 months ago. We’ve known each other for more than a decade and helped each other out on numerous occasions. I was probably helping for 10 hours. She had a lot of pictures and art to move. So I loaded a lot of them into my car. Unfortunately, one of the pictures was damaged in transit. Later she told me that she got a quote to repair the canvas(画布) and that we could split it, paying $1,200 each. I asked her what the canvas was worth and she told me it was beside the point-this canvas belongs to her son, who lives in Germany, and it’s very special to him. To me, it seems that if you get free unprofessional help, then there’s no insurance. I feel quite shocked, and feel it is cause to end the friendship. Similar things may happen time to time in your life. What should you do to get out of this awkward situation? It is universally considered immoral to treat friends like a contractor(承包商), by asking to compensate(弥补) for the losses they cause. Friendship is ruled by what you can do for someone else, while business relationship by what you have to do. That’s why bringing financial restoration into friendships can change everything. There is another way. You may pay for it, but tell your friend: “I’m happy to help repair it, or pay a lesser amount. But I don’t think I took on that degree of financial responsibility when I agreed to help.” How she reacts will be the measure of the friendship. It might start to feel as though you’re enemies. In that case, this may be a natural ending point. If you do want to save the friendship, it might be worth asking your friend what else this is about and see how she would react. Did she feel you were careless with her things? Did she wish you’d seem more upset when this happened, never mind whose fault it was? Was this just out of anger because she really missed her son? There might be all kinds of things here you could help her feel “compensated for” without having to pay the cash. 4. What did the author take for granted before she helped her friend move house? A. Friends should help each other save money. B The cost should be on the owner if damages occurred. C. One must get payment if the workload was too heavy. D. Expensive objects must be moved by professionals. 5. According to paragraph 3, which is common sense about friendship? A. Friendship and business are similar in nature. B. People can rarely find real friendship. C. Friends should sign a contract before doing a favor. D. Asking for financial compensation may ruin friendship. 6. Which way may save the friendship without paying money? A. Reminding her your friendship might break up. B. Telling her you feel even more upset. C. Denying that it was your fault. D. Arguing with her about the responsibility. 7. Where can we probably find the text? A. An academic journal. B. An entertainment magazine. C. A life column. D. An interview record. C China’s lunar spacesuit made its first public appearance on Saturday at a forum in Chongqing. The suit features a powerful yet elegant appearance, and embodies the resilience and pioneering spirit of the Chinese people, according to media reports. The debut (首秀) marks a significant milestone in the country’s lunar exploration efforts and reflects the advancement of China’ s spacesuit technology. The red decorative bands on the arms and legs emphasize its sleek and powerful design, with the arm bands designed to look like flowing “Feitian” ribbons — meaning flying deity(神灵) in traditional Chinese culture — symbolizing grace and elegance, while the leg bands are shaped like the exhaust flames of a rocket, conveying the dynamic energy of space exploration. Meanwhile, the suit draws inspiration from traditional Chinese armor(盔甲), embodying resilience, strength, and dignity, reflecting the courage and pioneering spirit of the Chinese people. Spacesuits are essential for spaceflight, providing life support and operational assistance during launches, re-entry, and extravehicular activities. Research and development (R&D) of spacesuits involves a wide range of scientific disciplines and complex technologies, and only a few countries in the world possess the capability of independently designing and manufacturing spacesuits. Since 2020, the R&D of the lunar spacesuit has centered on protection function in complex environments and enhancing astronaut mobility. The design is unique in its mini-sized parts, with high safety standards. “The main differences between lunar suits and regular spacesuits lie in their design and functionality”, Kang Guohua, a senior member of the Chinese Society of Astronautics and a professor of Aerospace Engineering at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, told the Global Times on Saturday. While both are designed for exposure to the tough conditions of space, including vacuum, microgravity, radiation, and extreme temperatures, the specific working environments on the moon have created distinct requirements for lunar spacesuits. “China’s lunar space program is progressing step by step based on its own plans. The debut indicates that the day when Chinese people set foot on the moon may not be far off,” Kang said. 8. What do the red decorative bands on the legs of the lunar spacesuits symbolize? A. Grace and elegance. B. The energy of space exploration. C. Resilience and strength. D. Courage and pioneering spirit. 9. According to the text, what is the focus of China’s lunar spacesuit design? A. Protecting astronauts and improving flexibility. B. Offering protection against extreme environment. C. Improving the quality and style of spacesuit. D. Producing mini-sized parts for safety reasons. 10. Why are lunar suits different from regular spacesuits? A. Because they will be exposed to more radiation. B. Because they need more functions and equipment. C. Because they should adapt to tough conditions of space. D. Because they have to meet different requirements. 11. What would be the best title for this text? A. China’s Manned Lunar Landing: A Milestone B. The Development of China’s Spacesuit Technology C. The Debut of China’s Lunar Spacesuit in Chongqing D. The Role of Spacesuits in Modern Space Exploration D It’s a balmy summer day at the beach — you’re lying in the sun, enjoying the water and hanging out with friends. But suddenly, you start to feel a familiar pain behind your temples (太阳穴), and you wonder: why do you always get headaches when it’s hot out? Some research does suggest that people’s rates of headaches rise when temperatures go up. However, experts like Dr. Nolan Pearson, a neurology fellow who specializes in headache at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it’s important to look beyond heat to find the reason for summertime headaches. “Weather is very common in the top five triggers (诱因) that people do report. But, I would speculate that it might be actually due to things that go along with hot weather rather than the heat itself.” Most research on heat and headaches only shows a connection between the two. For example, a study might look at hospital admission rates for headaches during different months of the year and find headaches are more common in summer. But that doesn’t prove that heat directly caused those headaches. There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer — like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. Therefore, Pearson recommends that each person with headaches hone in on these possible triggers, since these have more research behind them and may be easier to handle than the heat itself. Poor air quality is a well-known headache trigger, and one common effect of heat waves is that they tend to make air quality worse. Heat can cause some chemical elements in the air to transform into ozone (臭氧) and other harmful substances. In addition, wind and air pressure systems driven by hot weather can make pollutants linger over cities, rather than float away. Warmer months also come along with longer days and greater UV (紫外线) exposure. Light exposure and headaches have a complicated relationship, though. While some research suggests that bright light isn’t a headache trigger, people with migraines (偏头痛) are often sensitive to bright lights during an attack. So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. On top of all of that, heat can destroy a person’s sleep schedule. “Good, restful sleep happens most effectively in a colder environment,” Pearson said. When a night of sleep is disturbed — by being overheated, for instance — people are significantly more likely to experience migraines and other headaches. 12. What may be the cause of summertime headaches? A. The direct effect of heat. B. Changes of living habits. C. Restful sleep in cool days. D. Chemical elements in the air. 13. What does the phrase “hone in on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Take advantage of. B. Put up with. C Head towards. D. Concentrate on. 14. Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. Hospital admission rates for headaches are lower in summer than in winter. B. Poor air quality is the leading reason that triggers people’s headaches. C. Pollutants in the air can’t float away due to the destruction of the wind system. D. Exposure to the sun causes worse condition for people with migraines. 15. What might the author continue talking about? A. Effective measures in summertime. B. Major limitations in present research. C Detailed analysis of people’s lifestyles. D. Explanations of experimental methods. 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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Having more money isn’t always possible, but happiness doesn’t have to cost a lot.

It seemed as if failing in the English test had become a part of her life. Despite her efforts, she had been unable to perform well. Tears in her eyes, she quickly shoved(乱塞) the paper into her bag before any classmate could make a rude comment on her. Effortlessly, using the back of her palm, she was wiping the tears when her teacher Mrs. Leena noticed her. She came to Aliya’s desk and, in a soft voice, asked her to see her during the break time. Wondering what it could be, Aliya waited impatiently for lunchtime. Finally, when the bell rang, she made her way to Mrs. Leena. As soon as she saw Aliya, she gestured for her to sit on the empty chair beside her. She carefully studied her face, cleared her throat with a bright smile and said, “You seem to be anxious. I think I know what’s bothering you. If you allow me I think together we may come up with a good solution.” With a puzzled look, Aliya said sadly, “I have been struggling in English since the beginning of the term. It seems as if no matter how hard I work, I am unable to get the desired result. I feel so upset.” “You need not be so gloomy,” encouraged Mrs. Leena. “With these three key ingredients: hard work, determination and resilience, you will move ahead and succeed. It’s always the first step that’s difficult, but once you decide not to look back and not give up, you will be successful, my dear. Come on, gather yourself and let’s work on it together.” 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。 From that day onwards, Aliya worked hard. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As days passed, Aliya eagerly awaited the result of the final exam. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 AABBC 6-10 BBCBB 11-15 AACBC 16-20 CACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$ 重庆外国语学校2024—2025学年度(上期)高2026届期中考试 英语试题 (满分150分,120分钟完成) 第Ⅰ卷 选择题(共95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.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了前往悉尼游玩的相关信息,包括何时前往、去哪儿玩、去哪里吃饭以及住在哪里等旅游相关的信息和建议,旨在帮助读者规划一次愉快的悉尼之旅。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章When to go部分中的“Book your trip for Australia’s summer, between November and February. It’s especially fun to visit over the holiday season, when sweating Santas walk the beaches near Bondi and fireworks crackle over Sydney Harbour on New Year’s Eve. (请在澳大利亚的夏季,即11月至2月期间规划你的行程。在节假日期间前往尤其有趣,那时你会看到满身大汗的圣诞老人漫步在邦迪海滩附近,而新年夜时悉尼港上空则会烟花绽放。)”可知,节假日期间去悉尼会尤为有趣。这里提到的“节假日”和“新年夜”通常指的是12月底到1月初的时间段,尤其是1月,因为这是澳大利亚的主要假期和新年的时间。虽然2月也是夏季的一部分,但1月通常是更受欢迎的旅游月份,因为新年庆祝活动和其他节日活动都集中在这个时间段。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Where to embrace the heat部分中的“And if you’re feeling adventurous, take in the city from above as you climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. (如果你喜欢冒险,可以在爬上悉尼海港大桥时从上方俯瞰这座城市。)”可知,游客可以在悉尼海港大桥上方俯瞰城市全景。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Where to eat部分中的“For something less tourist-filled, try Catalina in Rose Bay. It has views of the harbor and some of the city’s finest rock oysters, being the most liked leisurely restaurant in the city. (如果你想找个不那么游客众多的地方,可以去玫瑰湾的Catalina餐厅。这里有海港美景和该市最美味的岩生蚝,是城市里最受喜爱的休闲餐厅。)”可知,Catalina餐厅不那么游客众多,由此可知,该餐厅具有放松的氛围,也暗示了这家餐厅有一个相对宁静和放松的环境。故选D。 B I helped a friend move house 18 months ago. We’ve known each other for more than a decade and helped each other out on numerous occasions. I was probably helping for 10 hours. She had a lot of pictures and art to move. So I loaded a lot of them into my car. Unfortunately, one of the pictures was damaged in transit. Later she told me that she got a quote to repair the canvas(画布) and that we could split it, paying $1,200 each. I asked her what the canvas was worth and she told me it was beside the point-this canvas belongs to her son, who lives in Germany, and it’s very special to him. To me, it seems that if you get free unprofessional help, then there’s no insurance. I feel quite shocked, and feel it is cause to end the friendship. Similar things may happen time to time in your life. What should you do to get out of this awkward situation? It is universally considered immoral to treat friends like a contractor(承包商), by asking to compensate(弥补) for the losses they cause. Friendship is ruled by what you can do for someone else, while business relationship by what you have to do. That’s why bringing financial restoration into friendships can change everything. There is another way. You may pay for it, but tell your friend: “I’m happy to help repair it, or pay a lesser amount. But I don’t think I took on that degree of financial responsibility when I agreed to help.” How she reacts will be the measure of the friendship. It might start to feel as though you’re enemies. In that case, this may be a natural ending point. If you do want to save the friendship, it might be worth asking your friend what else this is about and see how she would react. Did she feel you were careless with her things? Did she wish you’d seem more upset when this happened, never mind whose fault it was? Was this just out of anger because she really missed her son? There might be all kinds of things here you could help her feel “compensated for” without having to pay the cash. 4. What did the author take for granted before she helped her friend move house? A. Friends should help each other save money. B. The cost should be on the owner if damages occurred. C. One must get payment if the workload was too heavy. D. Expensive objects must be moved by professionals. 5. According to paragraph 3, which is common sense about friendship? A. Friendship and business are similar in nature. B. People can rarely find real friendship. C. Friends should sign a contract before doing a favor. D. Asking for financial compensation may ruin friendship. 6. Which way may save the friendship without paying money? A. Reminding her your friendship might break up. B. Telling her you feel even more upset. C. Denying that it was your fault. D. Arguing with her about the responsibility. 7. Where can we probably find the text? A. An academic journal. B. An entertainment magazine. C A life column. D. An interview record. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了一个朋友在帮助另一个朋友搬家过程中,不慎损坏了一幅画,而后者希望两人平分1200美元的修复费用。由此提出了两种处理方法:一是坚持认为在提供帮助时并未承担如此的经济责任;二是深入了解朋友的真正想法和感受,寻找不用金钱赔偿的其他弥补方式。作者认为,如何处理这一尴尬局面,将是对友谊的考验。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To me, it seems that if you get free unprofessional help, then there’s no insurance.( 在我看来,如果你接受了免费的非专业帮助,那就没有保险可言了。)”可知,作者之前认为如果是免费帮助,发生损坏就不需要承担责任,即费用应由物主承担。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It is universally considered immoral to treat friends like a contractor(承包商), by asking to compensate(弥补) for the losses they cause. Friendship is ruled by what you can do for someone else, while business relationship by what you have to do.  (普遍认为,像对待承包商一样要求朋友赔偿他们造成的损失是不道德的。友谊取决于你能为别人做什么,而商业关系取决于你必须做什么。)”可知,就作者看来要求金钱赔偿可能会破坏友谊即要求金钱赔偿可能会破坏友谊是常识。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you do want to save the friendship, it might be worth asking your friend what else this is about and see how she would react. Did she feel you were careless with her things? Did she wish you’d seem more upset when this happened, never mind whose fault it was? Was this just out of anger because she really missed her son? There might be all kinds of things here you could help her feel “compensated for” without having to pay the cash.(如果你真的想挽救这段友谊,不妨问问你的朋友这件事背后是否还有其他原因,并观察她的反应。她是否觉得你对她的东西不够小心?她是否希望你当时能表现出更难过的样子,而不管是谁的错?这只是因为她非常想念儿子而生气吗?这里可能有很多种情况,你可以在不支付现金的情况下,帮助她感到“得到了补偿”。)”可以推断,有时候朋友可能更看重你的态度和反应,而不是你是否承认错误或付钱。因此,告诉她你感到更加难过,可能会在不付钱的情况下挽救友谊。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文,章讲述了一个朋友在帮助另一个朋友搬家过程中,不慎损坏了一幅画,而后者希望两人平分1200美元的修复费用。由此提出了两种处理方法:一是坚持认为在提供帮助时并未承担如此的经济责任;二是深入了解朋友的真正想法和感受,寻找不用金钱赔偿的其他弥补方式。作者认为,如何处理这一尴尬局面,将是对友谊的考验。文章主要讨论了如何处理因帮助朋友而产生的尴尬情况和如何挽回友谊,这些内容更贴近日常生活和人际关系,因此更可能出现在一个生活专栏中。故选C。 C China’s lunar spacesuit made its first public appearance on Saturday at a forum in Chongqing. The suit features a powerful yet elegant appearance, and embodies the resilience and pioneering spirit of the Chinese people, according to media reports. The debut (首秀) marks a significant milestone in the country’s lunar exploration efforts and reflects the advancement of China’ s spacesuit technology. The red decorative bands on the arms and legs emphasize its sleek and powerful design, with the arm bands designed to look like flowing “Feitian” ribbons — meaning flying deity(神灵) in traditional Chinese culture — symbolizing grace and elegance, while the leg bands are shaped like the exhaust flames of a rocket, conveying the dynamic energy of space exploration. Meanwhile, the suit draws inspiration from traditional Chinese armor(盔甲), embodying resilience, strength, and dignity, reflecting the courage and pioneering spirit of the Chinese people. Spacesuits are essential for spaceflight, providing life support and operational assistance during launches, re-entry, and extravehicular activities. Research and development (R&D) of spacesuits involves a wide range of scientific disciplines and complex technologies, and only a few countries in the world possess the capability of independently designing and manufacturing spacesuits. Since 2020, the R&D of the lunar spacesuit has centered on protection function in complex environments and enhancing astronaut mobility. The design is unique in its mini-sized parts, with high safety standards. “The main differences between lunar suits and regular spacesuits lie in their design and functionality”, Kang Guohua, a senior member of the Chinese Society of Astronautics and a professor of Aerospace Engineering at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, told the Global Times on Saturday. While both are designed for exposure to the tough conditions of space, including vacuum, microgravity, radiation, and extreme temperatures, the specific working environments on the moon have created distinct requirements for lunar spacesuits. “China’s lunar space program is progressing step by step based on its own plans. The debut indicates that the day when Chinese people set foot on the moon may not be far off,” Kang said. 8. What do the red decorative bands on the legs of the lunar spacesuits symbolize? A. Grace and elegance. B. The energy of space exploration. C. Resilience and strength. D. Courage and pioneering spirit. 9. According to the text, what is the focus of China’s lunar spacesuit design? A. Protecting astronauts and improving flexibility. B. Offering protection against extreme environment. C. Improving the quality and style of spacesuit. D Producing mini-sized parts for safety reasons. 10. Why are lunar suits different from regular spacesuits? A. Because they will be exposed to more radiation. B. Because they need more functions and equipment. C. Because they should adapt to tough conditions of space. D. Because they have to meet different requirements. 11. What would be the best title for this text? A. China’s Manned Lunar Landing: A Milestone B. The Development of China’s Spacesuit Technology C. The Debut of China’s Lunar Spacesuit in Chongqing D. The Role of Spacesuits in Modern Space Exploration 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了中国自主研发的月球航天服在重庆的一次论坛上首次亮相,其设计融合了传统文化元素与现代科技,体现了中国人民的坚韧与开拓精神。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The red decorative bands on the arms and legs emphasize its sleek and powerful design, with the arm bands designed to look like flowing “Feitian” ribbons — meaning flying deity(神灵) in traditional Chinese culture — symbolizing grace and elegance, while the leg bands are shaped like the exhaust flames of a rocket, conveying the dynamic energy of space exploration(手臂和腿上的红色装饰带强调了其优雅有力的设计,手臂的装饰带设计成流动的“飞天”丝带——在传统中国文化中意为飞天的神灵——代表着 雅致和优雅,而腿部的装饰带则形状像火箭的尾焰,传达了太空探索的活力能量)”可知,腿部红色装饰带象征着空间探索的能量。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since 2020, the R&D of the lunar spacesuit has centered on protection function in complex environments and enhancing astronaut mobility.(自2020年以来,月球航天服的研发主要集中在复杂环境下的保护功能和提高宇航员移动性上)”可知,中国月球航天服设计的重点是保护宇航员并提高灵活性。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“While both are designed for exposure to the tough conditions of space, including vacuum, microgravity, radiation, and extreme temperatures, the specific working environments on the moon have created distinct requirements for lunar spacesuits.(虽然两者都是为了应对太空中的恶劣条件而设计的,包括真空、微重力、辐射和极端温度,但月球上的特定工作环境对月球航天服提出了独特的要求)”可知,月球上的特定工作环境对月球航天服提出了独特的要求,即月球航天服与常规航天服不同,是因为它们必须满足不同的工作环境要求。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“China’s lunar spacesuit made its first public appearance on Saturday at a forum in Chongqing. The suit features a powerful yet elegant appearance, and embodies the resilience and pioneering spirit of the Chinese people, according to media reports. The debut (首秀) marks a significant milestone in the country’s lunar exploration efforts and reflects the advancement of China’ s spacesuit technology.( 周六,中国的月球宇航服在重庆的一个论坛上首次公开亮相。据媒体报道,这套服装具有强大而优雅的外观,体现了中国人的坚韧和开拓精神。这次首次亮相标志着我国探月工作的一个重要里程碑,反映了中国航天服技术的进步)”以及全文可知,文章主要报道了中国自主研发的月球航天服在重庆的一次论坛上首次亮相的情况,因此C选项“The Debut of China’s Lunar Spacesuit in Chongqing(中国月球航天服在重庆首次亮相)”直接概括了文章的主要内容,突出了新闻事件的核心信息。故选C。 D It’s a balmy summer day at the beach — you’re lying in the sun, enjoying the water and hanging out with friends. But suddenly, you start to feel a familiar pain behind your temples (太阳穴), and you wonder: why do you always get headaches when it’s hot out? Some research does suggest that people’s rates of headaches rise when temperatures go up. However, experts like Dr. Nolan Pearson, a neurology fellow who specializes in headache at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it’s important to look beyond heat to find the reason for summertime headaches. “Weather is very common in the top five triggers (诱因) that people do report. But, I would speculate that it might be actually due to things that go along with hot weather rather than the heat itself.” Most research on heat and headaches only shows a connection between the two. For example, a study might look at hospital admission rates for headaches during different months of the year and find headaches are more common in summer. But that doesn’t prove that heat directly caused those headaches. There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer — like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. Therefore, Pearson recommends that each person with headaches hone in on these possible triggers, since these have more research behind them and may be easier to handle than the heat itself. Poor air quality is a well-known headache trigger, and one common effect of heat waves is that they tend to make air quality worse. Heat can cause some chemical elements in the air to transform into ozone (臭氧) and other harmful substances. In addition, wind and air pressure systems driven by hot weather can make pollutants linger over cities, rather than float away. Warmer months also come along with longer days and greater UV (紫外线) exposure. Light exposure and headaches have a complicated relationship, though. While some research suggests that bright light isn’t a headache trigger, people with migraines (偏头痛) are often sensitive to bright lights during an attack. So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. On top of all of that, heat can destroy a person’s sleep schedule. “Good, restful sleep happens most effectively in a colder environment,” Pearson said. When a night of sleep is disturbed — by being overheated, for instance — people are significantly more likely to experience migraines and other headaches. 12. What may be the cause of summertime headaches? A. The direct effect of heat. B. Changes of living habits. C. Restful sleep in cool days. D. Chemical elements in the air. 13. What does the phrase “hone in on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Take advantage of. B. Put up with. C. Head towards. D. Concentrate on. 14. Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. Hospital admission rates for headaches are lower in summer than in winter. B. Poor air quality is the leading reason that triggers people’s headaches. C. Pollutants in the air can’t float away due to the destruction of the wind system. D. Exposure to the sun causes worse condition for people with migraines. 15. What might the author continue talking about? A. Effective measures in summertime. B. Major limitations in present research. C. Detailed analysis of people’s lifestyles. D. Explanations of experimental methods. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了夏季头痛的原因,指出高温并非唯一诱因,还涉及空气质量、紫外线暴露和睡眠干扰等因素。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, experts like Dr. Nolan Pearson, a neurology fellow who specializes in headache at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it’s important to look beyond heat to find the reason for summertime headaches. (然而,洛杉矶西奈山医学中心专门研究头痛的神经病学研究员诺兰·皮尔逊博士等专家表示,要找出夏季头痛的原因,重要的是要超越热量本身。)”和第三段“But that doesn’t prove that heat directly caused those headaches. There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer—like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. (但这并不能证明热量直接导致了这些头痛。夏季可能会有其他环境和生活方式的变化——比如空气质量、光照或活动水平。)”可知,夏季头痛的原因可能是生活习惯的改变,而不是直接由热引起的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer—like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. (夏季可能会有其他环境和生活方式的变化——比如空气质量、光照或活动水平。)”和第三段中的“since these have more research behind them and may be easier to handle than the heat itself. (因为这些背后有更多的研究,而且可能比热量本身更容易处理。)”可知,皮尔逊建议每个头痛的人都要集中精力在这些可能的诱因上,由此可推测“hone in on”意为“集中于”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Warmer months also come along with longer days and greater UV (紫外线) exposure. Light exposure and headaches have a complicated relationship, though. While some research suggests that bright light isn’t a headache trigger, people with migraines (偏头痛) are often sensitive to bright lights during an attack. So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. (温暖的月份也伴随着更长的白天和更大的紫外线暴露。然而,光照和头痛有着复杂的关系。虽然一些研究表明强光不是头痛的诱因,但偏头痛患者在发作期间通常对强光敏感。因此,炎热的夏日阳光可能会使现有的头痛更加严重。)”可知,阳光照射会使偏头痛患者的情况恶化。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Some research does suggest that people’s rates of headaches rise when temperatures go up. (一些研究确实表明,当气温升高时,人们的头痛率会上升。)”和第三段“There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer—like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. (夏季可能会发生其他环境和生活方式的变化,如空气质量、光照或活动水平。)”和第五段“So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. (因此,炎热的夏日阳光可能会使现有的头痛更加严重。)”可知,文章主要讨论了夏季头痛的可能原因,包括高温、空气质量、紫外线暴露等。再结合文章最后一段“On top of all of that, heat can destroy a person’s sleep schedule. “Good, restful sleep happens most effectively in a colder environment,” Pearson said. (最重要的是,高温会破坏一个人的睡眠时间表。皮尔逊说:“良好、宁静的睡眠在较冷的环境中最有效。”。)”,文章指出了良好睡眠的条件。因此,作者接下来可能会讨论如何在夏季采取有效的措施来改善睡眠,从而减轻或避免夏季头痛。故选A项。 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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Having more money isn’t always possible, but happiness doesn’t have to cost a lot.

Wondering what it could be, Aliya waited impatiently for lunchtime. Finally, when the bell rang, she made her way to Mrs. Leena. As soon as she saw Aliya, she gestured for her to sit on the empty chair beside her. She carefully studied her face, cleared her throat with a bright smile and said, “You seem to be anxious. I think I know what’s bothering you. If you allow me I think together we may come up with a good solution.” With a puzzled look, Aliya said sadly, “I have been struggling in English since the beginning of the term. It seems as if no matter how hard I work, I am unable to get the desired result. I feel so upset.” “You need not be so gloomy,” encouraged Mrs. Leena. “With these three key ingredients: hard work, determination and resilience, you will move ahead and succeed.

Overwhelmed with joy and relief, she rushed to thank Mrs. Leena for her guidance and support. The score was a milestone in her life, marking the beginning of a new chapter filled with endless possibilities.
