We’re minutes away from a total solar eclipse (日全食), and I’m writing in my notebook, trying to record my impressions of a family trip in search of wonder, a once-in-a-generation event. So rare and special that Sylvester is missing a day of fifth grade. I tell myself that he’s being schooled in the science of the universe, the movement of planets. He can’t learn that in a classroom. Actually, he can, and he did already. But here we are, lying on a town common in Waterbury, Vermont. And we’re not the only ones skipping school. Sylvester looks into my lap. “Will you be able to write in the dark?” he asks. Sure, I tell him. But when the eclipse happens, I can’t. Words fail me. Nothing will measure up to the dizzying feeling of day becoming not-night, not-day. Sylvester turns to me again, “The moon is covering the sun! Take a photo of it, Dad.” But I keep my phone in my bag. I just want to watch and share the moment with Sylvester and Jenn, my wife. You can’t put a price on memories. At least, that’s how we justified our last-minute decision to book the last hotel room in town at peak eclipse price. On our way to the common, I told him how the Aztecs viewed solar eclipses. They believed a total eclipse meant a monster was trying to eat the sun god Tonatiuh, causing humanity to fall into darkness. Ceremonies were needed to prevent this. Sylvester is quiet at first. But later, as we sit watching the moon cover the sun, I joke that the monster is taking bigger bites of the sun. He laughs, and suggests we offer a sacrifice to save the sun god. After the sun reappears, the crowd starts to leave. We are also ready to move on. The next total solar eclipse in August 2026 won’t be observable from North America. It will, however, pass over Iceland. We know a family who is already planning housing there. Maybe we should join them. Sylvester won’t even need to miss school. 4. What made the author a little regretful about the trip? A. Sylvester’s lack of interest in space. B. Sylvester’s annoyance at taking notes. C. Sylvester’s taking a day off from school. D. Sylvester’s impatience in the observation. 5. What led the author to finally reserve the hotel? A. The cheapest local hotel to live in. B. The family’s bond and memories. C. The sense of learning about planets. D. The experience of shared excitement. 6. Why did the author tell Sylvester about the Aztecs? A. To explain the wonder of eclipses. B. To prove their lack of scientific knowledge. C. To inspire Sylvester to explore space more. D. To offer a different interpretation on eclipses. 7. How does the author like their family trip at last? A. Expensive. B. Adventurous. C. Meaningful. D. Tiresome. C The idea of turning Mars into a livable world for humans is a common element of science fiction. But could such an action be done in real life? There are many issues that need to be solved before humans can successfully live on Mars. They include a lack of breathable oxygen, harmful ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation, salty soil, and dust storms that sometimes cover much of the planet. And the average Martian surface temperature is about minus (零下) 65℃. With its thin atmosphere, solar heat on the Martian surface easily escapes into space. Scientists are now proposing a new method to warm up Mars. The idea involves putting engineered particles made of iron or aluminum (铝) into the atmosphere at a rate of about 30 liters per second for years. The goal is to trap escaping heat and direct sunlight towards the Martian surface. The proposal would aim to permit liquid water to exist on the surface of Mars, which has water in the form of ice at its polar areas and its subsurface. The proposed idea would be to increase the natural greenhouse effect on Mars and raise its surface temperature by around 28℃ over ten years. Such a change alone would not make Mars livable for people. But the scientists see it as a possible first step. Scientist Kite described the process of changing a planet’s environment to be more like Earth. “For Mars, warming the planet is a necessary, but not enough, first step. Previous concepts have focused on releasing greenhouse gases, but these require large amounts of resources that are rare on Mars,” he said. Kite added that climate modeling suggests the new idea of using engineered particles to warm Mars’ atmosphere could work better than previous ideas and that the work is important because it presents a possible method that could help future exploration plans. Kite suggested that the costs and benefits of releasing particles are uncertain. For example, he said if Mars’ soil has compounds that are harmful to life from Earth, then the benefit of warming Mars is zero. 8. What’s the function of the question mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To prove the untruth of sci-fi. B. To expect readers’ clear answers. C. To express people’s strong doubts. D. To introduce the theme of the text. 9. What does the author intend to explain in paragraph 2? A. The challenges for human settling on Mars. B. The variety of natural environments on Mars. C. The possibility of solid ice existence on Mars. D. The reason for the year-long darkness on Mars. 10. What does Kite’s words about the new idea convey? A. It’s perfect. B. It’s practical. C. It’s dangerous. D. It’s traditional. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Scientists Help People Move to Mars B. Scientists Make Mars a Second Home C. Scientists Propose an Idea to Warm Mars D. Scientists Change the Atmosphere of Mars D Scientists worldwide worked on an experiment to discover the role of trees in cloud formation and to understand pre-industrial climate patterns. When solid or liquid aerosol particles (气溶胶颗粒物) between 0.1-10 micrometers combine with water steam, they experience a process called New Particle Formation (NPF). The new molecule (分子) acts as a “cloud seed” that combines with other molecules, growing until they form a cloud. They come from human sources like steam released from burning fossil fuels and natural sources like sand or salt. Since the Industrial Revolution, about half of the clouds have been seeded from a fossil fuel pollutant. The other half comes from natural sources like trees, volcanoes, and dust from various places. To further study how nature contributes to cloud formation, an experiment called Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets (CLOUD) Project is being conducted. The tests are conducted in a giant metal container that can copy various ecosystems around the globe, such as ancient rainforests and mountain regions. Different compounds are introduced into the environment, which allows researchers to observe how the virtual atmosphere reacts. CLOUD determined that volatile organic compounds (挥发性有机化合物) released by trees called terpenes, play a large role in cloud formation, forming ten times as many “cloud seeds” as the other compounds tested! Additionally, trees produce more sesquiterpenes when they suffer environmental stress, which occurs more frequently because of climate change. One aim of CLOUD is to discover what compounds seeded cloud formation during the original pre-industrial era. This will allow scientists to ascertain the environmental results of human behavior since that time. Because clouds directly affect rainfall, and can either cool the earth or protect it, understanding the principles of their formation is crucial to predicting our future climate. The climate is affecting the cloud formation, and the clouds are affecting the climate. This study is a huge step in the right direction and has shown scientists ways to close gaps in their research to ensure more exact climate modeling results. Let’s hope the research continues allowing us to explain more mysteries about our environment! 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The formation of clouds. B. The sources of fossil fuels. C. The floating particles in the sky. D. The effect of the Industrial Revolution. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Trees have their emotions of stress in the wild. B. Cloud seeds can be widely used for many times. C. Climate affects trees’ cloud-forming contribution. D. Ecosystems in ancient locations remain unchanged. 14. What does the underlined word “ascertain” mean in paragraph 5? A. Accept. B. Confirm. C. Ignore. D. Suffer. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study? A. Unconcerned. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Favourable. 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。 How to Become a Lifelong Learner There are no age limits when it comes to education.

Armed with backpacks filled with supplies, a map, and a compass, they set off on their exciting journey. As they walked deeper into the mountains, the scenery became more and more breathtaking. The tall trees seemed to touch the sky, and the sound of a nearby stream added a mystery to their adventure. “Look at this place, Lily! It’s so beautiful!” yelled Alex. “Yeah, it’s amazing. I can’t believe we haven’t explored this area before,” replied Lily. They kept walking, enjoying the nature around them. But little did they know, they had departed from the marked path without realizing it. After a while, they started to notice that the path was getting muddier. “Hey, Alex, this doesn’t look familiar. Are we still on the right track?” asked Lily with a hint of worry in her voice. “Sure we are. Don’t worry. We have the map and compass. We can’t get lost,” said Alex confidently. As the day wore on, the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the mountains. Panic started to set in. “Oh no! We’re lost! What are we going to do?” cried Lily. “Calm down, Lily. We’ll figure it out. Let’s find a shelter for the night first,” said Alex. They remembered reading about how to build a temporary shelter in the wilderness, so they quickly gathered branches and leaves to construct a small shelter. That night, as they were crowded together in their shelter, they thought about their situation. “This is all my fault. I should have been more careful with the map,” said Alex. “No, it’s not just you. I should have been paying more attention too,” replied Lily. The next morning, they decided to follow the stream. 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。 “I remember from our geography lessons that streams usually lead to people,” said Alex. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The valley walls created a natural barrier. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5CACBA 6—10BACCB11—15CACBB 16—20BACBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年度上学期高二年级期中考试 英语 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡的指定位置。考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3. 回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

We’re minutes away from a total solar eclipse (日全食), and I’m writing in my notebook, trying to record my impressions of a family trip in search of wonder, a once-in-a-generation event. So rare and special that Sylvester is missing a day of fifth grade. I tell myself that he’s being schooled in the science of the universe, the movement of planets. He can’t learn that in a classroom. Actually, he can, and he did already. But here we are, lying on a town common in Waterbury, Vermont. And we’re not the only ones skipping school. Sylvester looks into my lap. “Will you be able to write in the dark?” he asks. Sure, I tell him. But when the eclipse happens, I can’t. Words fail me. Nothing will measure up to the dizzying feeling of day becoming not-night, not-day. Sylvester turns to me again, “The moon is covering the sun! Take a photo of it, Dad.” But I keep my phone in my bag. I just want to watch and share the moment with Sylvester and Jenn, my wife. You can’t put a price on memories. At least, that’s how we justified our last-minute decision to book the last hotel room in town at peak eclipse price. On our way to the common, I told him how the Aztecs viewed solar eclipses. They believed a total eclipse meant a monster was trying to eat the sun god Tonatiuh, causing humanity to fall into darkness. Ceremonies were needed to prevent this. Sylvester is quiet at first. But later, as we sit watching the moon cover the sun, I joke that the monster is taking bigger bites of the sun. He laughs, and suggests we offer a sacrifice to save the sun god. After the sun reappears, the crowd starts to leave. We are also ready to move on. The next total solar eclipse in August 2026 won’t be observable from North America. It will, however, pass over Iceland. We know a family who is already planning housing there. Maybe we should join them. Sylvester won’t even need to miss school. 4. What made the author a little regretful about the trip? A. Sylvester’s lack of interest in space. B. Sylvester’s annoyance at taking notes. C. Sylvester’s taking a day off from school. D. Sylvester’s impatience in the observation. 5. What led the author to finally reserve the hotel? A. The cheapest local hotel to live in. B. The family’s bond and memories. C. The sense of learning about planets. D. The experience of shared excitement. 6. Why did the author tell Sylvester about the Aztecs? A. To explain the wonder of eclipses. B. To prove their lack of scientific knowledge. C. To inspire Sylvester to explore space more. D. To offer a different interpretation on eclipses. 7. How does the author like their family trip at last? A. Expensive. B. Adventurous. C. Meaningful. D. Tiresome. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家观看日全食的独特体验。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“So rare and special that Sylvester is missing a day of fifth grade.(如此罕见和特别以至于Sylvester五年级缺课一天)”及第二段中的“I tell myself that he’s being schooled in the science of the universe, the movement of planets. He can’t learn that in a classroom. Actually, he can, and he did already.(我告诉自己，他学的是宇宙科学，行星的运行。他在教室里学不到这些。事实上，他可以，而且他已经做到了。”可知，为了观看日全食，Sylvester缺课一天。尽管作者认为这是值得的，但是Sylvester已经在学校学过相关知识，所以作者对Sylvester缺课一天有些许遗憾。最后一段中的最后一句话“Sylvester won’t even need to miss school.(Sylvester甚至不用缺课)”也体现了这一点。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“You can’t put a price on memories. At least, that’s how we justified our last-minute decision to book the last hotel room in town at peak eclipse price.(你无法用金钱来衡量记忆。至少，这就是为什么我们在最后一刻决定以最高的日全食价格预订镇上最后一家酒店的理由)”可知，作者想与家人分享这一独特的时刻，创造美好的回忆。这致使作者在最后一刻以日全食最高价预订了最后一间房间。可见，是家庭的纽带和回忆促使作者最终在酒店预订了房间。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“On our way to the common, I told him how the Aztecs viewed solar eclipses. They believed a total eclipse meant a monster was trying to eat the sun god Tonatiuh, causing humanity to fall into darkness. Ceremonies were needed to prevent this.(在去公共用地的路上，我告诉他Aztecs是如何观察日食的。他们相信日全食意味着一个怪物试图吃掉太阳神Tonatiuh，导致人类陷入黑暗。需要举行仪式来防止这种情况)”可知，作者要告诉Sylvester关于Aztecs的事是为了为日全食提供一种不同的解释。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第五段“You can’t put a price on memories. At least, that’s how we justified our last-minute decision to book the last hotel room in town at peak eclipse price.(你无法用金钱来衡量记忆。至少，这就是为什么我们在最后一刻决定以最高的日全食价格预订镇上最后一家酒店的理由)”及最后一段“The next total solar eclipse in August 2026 won’t be observable from North America. It will, however, pass over Iceland. We know a family who is already planning housing there. Maybe we should join them. Sylvester won’t even need to miss school.(2026年8月的下一次日全食将无法在北美观测到。然而，它将经过冰岛。我们知道有一个家庭已经计划在那里住了。也许我们应该加入他们。Sylvester甚至不用缺课)”可知，作者很珍视与家人在一起的时光，并决定与家人去冰岛看下次日全食。由此推知，作者认为这次家庭旅行是有意义的。故选C。 C The idea of turning Mars into a livable world for humans is a common element of science fiction. But could such an action be done in real life? There are many issues that need to be solved before humans can successfully live on Mars. They include a lack of breathable oxygen, harmful ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation, salty soil, and dust storms that sometimes cover much of the planet. And the average Martian surface temperature is about minus (零下) 65℃. With its thin atmosphere, solar heat on the Martian surface easily escapes into space. Scientists are now proposing a new method to warm up Mars. The idea involves putting engineered particles made of iron or aluminum (铝) into the atmosphere at a rate of about 30 liters per second for years. The goal is to trap escaping heat and direct sunlight towards the Martian surface. The proposal would aim to permit liquid water to exist on the surface of Mars, which has water in the form of ice at its polar areas and its subsurface. The proposed idea would be to increase the natural greenhouse effect on Mars and raise its surface temperature by around 28℃ over ten years. Such a change alone would not make Mars livable for people. But the scientists see it as a possible first step. Scientist Kite described the process of changing a planet’s environment to be more like Earth. “For Mars, warming the planet is a necessary, but not enough, first step. Previous concepts have focused on releasing greenhouse gases, but these require large amounts of resources that are rare on Mars,” he said. Kite added that climate modeling suggests the new idea of using engineered particles to warm Mars’ atmosphere could work better than previous ideas and that the work is important because it presents a possible method that could help future exploration plans. Kite suggested that the costs and benefits of releasing particles are uncertain. For example, he said if Mars’ soil has compounds that are harmful to life from Earth, then the benefit of warming Mars is zero. 8. What’s the function of the question mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To prove the untruth of sci-fi. B. To expect readers’ clear answers. C. To express people’s strong doubts. D. To introduce the theme of the text. 9. What does the author intend to explain in paragraph 2? A. The challenges for human settling on Mars. B. The variety of natural environments on Mars. C. The possibility of solid ice existence on Mars. D The reason for the year-long darkness on Mars. 10. What does Kite’s words about the new idea convey? A. It’s perfect. B. It’s practical. C. It’s dangerous. D. It’s traditional. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Scientists Help People Move to Mars B. Scientists Make Mars a Second Home C. Scientists Propose an Idea to Warm Mars D. Scientists Change the Atmosphere of Mars 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了科学家提出的一种帮火星升温的新方法——通过向火星大气中释放工程粒子来提高火星的表面温度，使其更适合人类居住。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The idea of turning Mars into a livable world for humans is a common element of science fiction. But could such an action be done in real life?(把火星变成人类宜居世界的想法是科幻小说的常见元素。但这样的动作在现实生活中可以实现吗)”，第二段“With its thin atmosphere, solar heat on the Martian surface easily escapes into space.(由于火星大气层稀薄，火星表面的太阳热量很容易逃逸到太空中)”和第三段“Scientists are now proposing a new method to warm up Mars.(科学家们现在提出了一种使火星变暖的新方法)”可知，作者在第一段提问题是为了引出本文的主题，即，科学家们现在提出了一种使火星变暖的新方法。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“There are many issues that need to be solved before humans can successfully live on Mars. They include a lack of breathable oxygen, harmful ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation, salty soil, and dust storms that sometimes cover much of the planet. And the average Martian surface temperature is about minus (零下) 65℃. With its thin atmosphere, solar heat on the Martian surface easily escapes into space.(在人类成功地在火星上生活之前，有许多问题需要解决。它们包括缺乏可呼吸的氧气、有害的紫外线辐射、土壤盐碱化以及有时覆盖地球大部分地区的沙尘暴。火星表面的平均温度约为零下65℃。由于火星大气层稀薄，火星表面的太阳热量很容易逃逸到太空中)”可知，第二段中列举了在火星上建立人类定居点所面临的多种挑战：缺乏可呼吸的氧气、有害的紫外线辐射、盐碱土壤和尘暴等。而这些问题都是人类在火星上生存必须要解决的实际困难。由此推断，这一段主要阐述了人类在火星上定居面临的各种挑战。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Kite added that climate modeling suggests the new idea of using engineered particles to warm Mars’ atmosphere could work better than previous ideas and that the work is important because it presents a possible method that could help future exploration plans.(Kite补充说，气候模型表明，使用工程颗粒来加热火星大气的新想法可能比以前的想法更有效，这项工作很重要，因为它提供了一种可能有助于未来探索计划的方法)”可知，Kite认为这个新想法比之前的想法更好，且为未来探索计划提供了一种可能性。由此推知，这个新想法是可行的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Scientists are now proposing a new method to warm up Mars. The idea involves putting engineered particles made of iron or aluminum (铝) into the atmosphere at a rate of about 30 liters per second for years. The goal is to trap escaping heat and direct sunlight towards the Martian surface. The proposal would aim to permit liquid water to exist on the surface of Mars, which has water in the form of ice at its polar areas and its subsurface.(科学家们现在提出了一种使火星变暖的新方法。这个想法包括将由铁或铝制成的工程颗粒以每秒30升的速度放入大气中，持续数年。其目标是捕获逸出的热量，并将阳光直射到火星表面。该提案旨在允许液态水存在于火星表面，火星的极地和地下都有冰形式的水)”可知，本文主要讲述了科学家提出的一种帮火星升温的新方法——通过向火星大气中释放工程粒子来提高火星的表面温度，使其更适合人类居住，因此最好的题目是C选项“Scientists Propose an Idea to Warm Mars(科学家提出了一个温暖火星的想法)”。故选C。 D Scientists worldwide worked on an experiment to discover the role of trees in cloud formation and to understand pre-industrial climate patterns. When solid or liquid aerosol particles (气溶胶颗粒物) between 0.1-10 micrometers combine with water steam, they experience a process called New Particle Formation (NPF). The new molecule (分子) acts as a “cloud seed” that combines with other molecules, growing until they form a cloud. They come from human sources like steam released from burning fossil fuels and natural sources like sand or salt. Since the Industrial Revolution, about half of the clouds have been seeded from a fossil fuel pollutant. The other half comes from natural sources like trees, volcanoes, and dust from various places. To further study how nature contributes to cloud formation, an experiment called Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets (CLOUD) Project is being conducted. The tests are conducted in a giant metal container that can copy various ecosystems around the globe, such as ancient rainforests and mountain regions. Different compounds are introduced into the environment, which allows researchers to observe how the virtual atmosphere reacts. CLOUD determined that volatile organic compounds (挥发性有机化合物) released by trees called terpenes, play a large role in cloud formation, forming ten times as many “cloud seeds” as the other compounds tested! Additionally, trees produce more sesquiterpenes when they suffer environmental stress, which occurs more frequently because of climate change. One aim of CLOUD is to discover what compounds seeded cloud formation during the original pre-industrial era. This will allow scientists to ascertain the environmental results of human behavior since that time. Because clouds directly affect rainfall, and can either cool the earth or protect it, understanding the principles of their formation is crucial to predicting our future climate. The climate is affecting the cloud formation, and the clouds are affecting the climate. This study is a huge step in the right direction and has shown scientists ways to close gaps in their research to ensure more exact climate modeling results. Let’s hope the research continues allowing us to explain more mysteries about our environment! 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The formation of clouds. B. The sources of fossil fuels. C. The floating particles in the sky. D. The effect of the Industrial Revolution. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Trees have their emotions of stress in the wild. B. Cloud seeds can be widely used for many times. C. Climate affects trees’ cloud-forming contribution. D. Ecosystems in ancient locations remain unchanged. 14. What does the underlined word “ascertain” mean in paragraph 5? A. Accept. B. Confirm. C. Ignore. D. Suffer. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study? A. Unconcerned. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Favourable. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【点睛】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全球科学家通过实验研究树木在云形成中的作用及前工业时代的气候模式。CLOUD项目揭示了树木释放的化合物对云的形成影响重大，该研究对理解气候及预测未来气候意义重大。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“When solid or liquid aerosol particles between 0.1-10 micrometers combine with water steam, they experience a process called New Particle Formation (NPF). The new molecule acts as a “cloud seed” that combines with other molecules, growing until they form a cloud. They come from human sources like steam released from burning fossil fuels and natural sources like sand or salt. Since the Industrial Revolution, about half of the clouds have been seeded from a fossil fuel pollutant. The other half comes from natural sources like trees, volcanoes, and dust from various places. (当0.1-10微米之间的固体或液体气溶胶颗粒与水蒸气结合时，它们会经历一个称为新粒子形成（NPF）的过程。这种新分子充当“云种子”，与其他分子结合，不断生长，直到形成云。它们来自人类资源，如燃烧化石燃料释放的蒸汽，以及沙子或盐等自然资源。自工业革命以来，大约一半的云是由化石燃料污染物播种的。另一半来自自然资源，如树木、火山和各地的灰尘。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了云的形成过程。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段内容“CLOUD determined that volatile organic compounds released by trees called terpenes, play a large role in cloud formation, forming ten times as many “cloud seeds” as the other compounds tested! Additionally, trees produce more sesquiterpenes when they suffer environmental stress, which occurs more frequently because of climate change. ( CLOUD确定，树木释放的挥发性有机化合物萜烯在云的形成中起着重要作用，形成的“云种子”是其他测试化合物的十倍！此外，当树木遭受环境压力时，它们会产生更多的倍半萜烯，这种情况由于气候变化而更频繁地发生。)”可知，气候变化会使树木在环境压力下产生更多的倍半萜烯，而倍半萜烯又与云的形成有关。由此推断，气候会影响树木对云形成的贡献。故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词前文“One aim of CLOUD is to discover what compounds seeded cloud formation during the original pre-industrial era. ( CLOUD的目标之一是发现在原始的前工业时代，是什么化合物促成了云的形成。)”可知，CLOUD的一个目的是查明在最初的前工业时代是什么化合物引发了云的形成。This指代前文提到的事情，因此推断这让科学家可引用该结果来查明、弄清人类行为对环境的影响。所以推测画线词应意为“弄清、查明”，与Confirm意思相近。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“This study is a huge step in the right direction and has shown scientists ways to close gaps in their research to ensure more exact climate modeling results. Let’s hope the research continues allowing us to explain more mysteries about our environment! (这项研究是朝着正确方向迈出的一大步，并向科学家展示了缩小研究差距的方法，以确保更精确的气候建模结果。让我们希望研究继续让我们解释更多关于我们环境的谜团！)”由此推知，作者对这项研究持支持态度。故选D。 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。 How to Become a Lifelong Learner There are no age limits when it comes to education.

Armed with backpacks filled with supplies, a map, and a compass, they set off on their exciting journey. As they walked deeper into the mountains, the scenery became more and more breathtaking. The tall trees seemed to touch the sky, and the sound of a nearby stream added a mystery to their adventure. “Look at this place, Lily! It’s so beautiful!” yelled Alex. “Yeah, it’s amazing. I can’t believe we haven’t explored this area before,” replied Lily. They kept walking, enjoying the nature around them. But little did they know, they had departed from the marked path without realizing it. After a while, they started to notice that the path was getting muddier. “Hey, Alex, this doesn’t look familiar. Are we still on the right track?” asked Lily with a hint of worry in her voice. “Sure we are. Don’t worry. We have the map and compass. We can’t get lost,” said Alex confidently. As the day wore on, the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the mountains. Panic started to set in. “Oh no! We’re lost! What are we going to do?” cried Lily. “Calm down, Lily. We’ll figure it out. Let’s find a shelter for the night first,” said Alex. They remembered reading about how to build a temporary shelter in the wilderness, so they quickly gathered branches and leaves to construct a small shelter. That night, as they were crowded together in their shelter, they thought about their situation. “This is all my fault. I should have been more careful with the map,” said Alex. “No, it’s not just you. I should have been paying more attention too,” replied Lily. The next morning, they decided to follow the stream. 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。 “I remember from our geography lessons that streams usually lead to people,” said Alex. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The valley walls created a natural barrier. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I remember from our geography lessons that streams usually lead to people,” said Alex. Encouraged by this thought, they began their journey alongside the stream, hoping it would guide them to safety. Despite their exhaustion and hunger, the sound of flowing water gave them a sense of direction and purpose. As they moved forward, they maintained an optimistic spirit, supporting each other through occasional moments of doubt. After walking for hours, they spotted a small bridge in the distance. Their hearts lifted with renewed energy as it signaled civilization nearby. With quickened steps, they crossed the stream, eventually reaching a quaint village tucked between the mountains. The valley walls created a natural barrier. The villagers welcomed Alex and Lily warmly, offering them food and shelter. Over a hearty meal, they recounted their adventure and learned valuable lessons about preparedness and teamwork. Grateful for the kindness of strangers and the support of one another, they promised to return home safely and share their experience. With a newfound appreciation for the wild and each other, Alex and Lily knew they had grown from this unexpected challenge. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章通过描述亚历克斯和莉莉在山中迷路后，如何利用所学知识沿河流找到人类居住地，强调了经验的重要性和团队合作的力量。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“亚历克斯说：“我记得地理课上讲过，溪流通常帮助找到人。”可知，第一段可描写亚历克斯和莉莉沿着溪流行走，尽管他们又累又饿但是成功发现了一个村庄。 ②由第二段首句内容“山谷壁形成了天然屏障”可知，第二段可描写村民热烈欢迎亚历克斯和莉莉，他们向村民讲述了他们的经历以及他们的感悟。 2.续写线索：又累又饿——继续前行——成功发现了一个村庄——村民热烈欢迎——讲述自己的经历——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/motivate ②指导：guide/direct ③保持：maintain /keep ④承诺：promise/commit 情绪类 乐观的： optimistic /positive 欣赏：appreciation/admiration 【点睛】[高分句型1] As they moved forward, they maintained an optimistic spirit, supporting each other through occasional moments of doubt.
