His wife, Lelia, equally heartbroken by the destruction of the once- vibrant (充满生机的) land, proposed an idea that seemed almost as enormous and impossible as the barrenness (荒芜) before them— replant the forest. In 1998, embracing the challenge with determination and a deep-seated desire to revive a crucial part of their country and family history, Sebastiāo and Lelia established the Instituto Terra, an environmental group dedicated to the sustainability of the Valley of the River Doce. It became a ship through which they would sail on a difficult journey to heal the land and in many ways, themselves. The couple, along with their team, embarked on a journey to replant and rebuild the1,754-acre plot of land. Slowly, the barren desert that Sebastiāo returned to began to transform, was blossoming into the lush paradise that had once existed only in his memories. Now, the region stands as a testament to what can be achieved with dedication and a dream. It is recognized as a Private Natural Heritage Reserve, a sanctuary where nature has been given the space and support to reclaim its rightful place. The once-barren cattle farm is not only thriving but has also become a shelter for hundreds of species of animals and plants. The land, now vibrant and alive, hosts 293 species of trees, 172 species of birds, 33 species of mammals, and 15 species of reptiles and amphibians, many of which are endangered and have found a safe refuge in this refreshed environment. Sebastiāo reflects on the transformation, sharing, “All the insects and birds and fish returned, and, thanks to this increase of the trees, I, too, was reborn— this was the most important moment.” 24. How was the farm when Sebastia o returned from East Africa? A. Vibrant and alive. B. Messy and noisy. C. Overgrown and enormous. D. Barren and deserted. 25. How did Sebastiāo and Lelia deal with the challenge facing them? A. Through a ship journey. B. Through team effort. C. Through government support. D. Through social donation. 26. What do the figures in paragraph 5 indicate? A. The success of the couple's work. B. The species the couple hope to save. C. The original state of the cattle farm. D. The number of wildlife in need of help. 27. What can we learn from Sebastiāo’s story? A. Bad luck often brings good luck. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Where there's a will, there's a way. D. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了，Sebastiāo在30年前从非洲东部回来，发现之前繁荣的农场变成了荒原，于是他和妻子决定重新种植森林，经历困难最后终于成功的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Nearly three decades ago, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastiāo returned from his assignment in East Africa, shocked to find his family's once booming cattle farm had become almost a wasteland.( 大约30年前，巴西摄影记Sebastiāo从东非出差回来，震惊地发现他家曾经兴旺的养牛场几乎变成了一片荒地。)”可知，Sebastiāo从东非回来时农场已经变成了荒地。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In 1998, embracing the challenge with determination and a deep-seated desire to revive a crucial part of their country and family history, Sebastiāo and Lelia established the Instituto Terra, an environmental group dedicated to the sustainability of the Valley of the River Doce.( 1998年，带着坚定的决心和对复兴他们国家和家族历史的重要部分的强烈愿望，Lelia和Sebastiāo成立了Terra研究所，这是一个致力于多西河流域可持续发展的环境组织。)”以及第三段中“The couple, along with their team, embarked on a journey to replant and rebuild the1,754-acre plot of land.( 这对夫妇和他们的团队开始了一段重新种植和重建1754英亩土地的旅程。)”可推知，Sebastiāo和Lelia通过团队努力来应对他们面临的挑战。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The once-barren cattle farm is not only thriving but has also become a shelter for hundreds of species of animals and plants. The land, now vibrant and alive, hosts 293 species of trees, 172 species of birds, 33 species of mammals, and 15 species of reptiles and amphibians, many of which are endangered and have found a safe refuge in this refreshed environment.( 曾经贫瘠的养牛场不仅蓬勃发展，而且还成为数百种动植物的避难所。这片土地现在生机勃勃，拥有293种树木、172种鸟类、33种哺乳动物和15种爬行动物和两栖动物，其中许多是濒临灭绝的动物，它们在这片清新的环境中找到了安全的避难所。)”可推知，第五段中的数字说明了这对夫妇工作的成功。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“His wife, Lelia, equally heartbroken by the destruction of the once- vibrant (充满生机的) land, proposed an idea that seemed almost as enormous and impossible as the barrenness (荒芜) before them— replant the forest.( 他的妻子Lelia同样为这片曾经充满活力的土地的毁灭感到心碎，她提出了一个几乎和他们面前的贫瘠一样巨大和不可能的想法——重新种植森林。)”和第三段中“The couple, along with their team, embarked on a journey to replant and rebuild the1,754-acre plot of land.( 这对夫妇和他们的团队开始了一段重新种植和重建1754英亩土地的旅程。)”可知，本文主要讲述了，Sebastiāo在30年前从非洲东部回来，发现之前繁荣的农场变成了荒原，于是他和妻子决定重新种植森林，经历困难最后终于成功的故事。由此可推知，我们能从Sebastiāo的故事中学到“有志者，事竟成”这个道理。故选C项。 C Facial expressions are an important part of human communication that allow us to convey our emotions. Scientists have found similar signals of emotion in other mammals such as dogs, pigs and mice. Although birds can produce facial expressions by moving their head feathers and flushing (发红) their skin, it is unclear whether they express emotions in this way. To investigate, researchers from INRAE and CNRS, France, filmed 18 female domestic chickens from two breeds, as they performed routine behaviors on a French farm. They also filmed the birds while being captured and held by a human, and while being rewarded with an appealing food. The researchers analyzed the position of their facial feathers and the color of the exposed skin on their faces in seven contexts that differed in their emotional valence (效价) and level of excitement. For example, birds preen their feathers when they are relaxed and content, whereas receiving a rewarding food generally causes excitement and happiness, and being captured is an exciting but fearful experience. The results suggested that the position of the head feathers and the color of the skin varied between contexts. Fluffing (抖松) head feathers were mainly associated with a state of contentment, whereas flushing indicated that the birds were positively excited or fearful. The study is the first to investigate facial displays of emotion in chickens, and suggests that domestic hens use facial expressions to show their emotions, much like humans and other mammals do. These findings offer a window into the emotional experiences of domestic birds, which could be used to improve the welfare of farmed poultry (家禽), the researchers say. The skin flushing on the face of the domestic birds is a window into their emotions. The intensity of the flushing varies within a few seconds depending on the emotional situations they experience, the researchers add. 28. What were the researchers trying to understand about chickens? A. Why they move their head feathers. B. How their faces show their emotions. C. How they communicate with humans. D. What they need to eat to stay healthy. 29. Why did the researchers film the chickens in various situations? A. To record their daily activities. B. To check the impact of weather. C. To compare them with mammals. D. To observe their emotional responses. 30. In which case will a hen fluff its head feathers? A. When it’s satisfied. B. When it’s fearful. C. When it’s tired. D. When it’s excited. 31. What field might the research be applied to? A. Psychology. B. Biology. C. Agriculture. D. Communication. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究发现，家鸡通过头部羽毛的位置和皮肤颜色变化表达情绪，这一发现有助于提高家禽福利。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Although birds can produce facial expressions by moving their head feathers and flushing (发红) their skin, it is unclear whether they express emotions in this way.(虽然鸟类可以通过移动头部羽毛和冲洗皮肤来产生面部表情，但它们是否以这种方式表达情感尚不清楚)”和第二段“To investigate, researchers from INRAE and CNRS, France, filmed 18 female domestic chickens from two breeds, as they performed routine behaviors on a French farm.(为了进行调查，法国INRAE和CNRS的研究人员在法国一个农场拍摄了18只来自两个品种的雌性家鸡的日常行为)”可推知，研究人员试图了解鸡的面部表情是如何表达它们的情绪的。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To investigate, researchers from INRAE and CNRS, France, filmed 18 female domestic chickens from two breeds, as they performed routine behaviors on a French farm. They also filmed the birds while being captured and held by a human, and while being rewarded with an appealing food.(为了进行调查，法国INRAE和CNRS的研究人员在法国一个农场拍摄了18只来自两个品种的雌性家鸡的日常行为。他们还拍摄了这些鸟被人类捕获和关押的过程，以及它们得到诱人食物的过程)”和第三段“The researchers analyzed the position of their facial feathers and the color of the exposed skin on their faces in seven contexts that differed in their emotional valence (效价) and level of excitement.(研究人员分析了它们面部羽毛的位置和脸上裸露皮肤的颜色，在七种不同的情况下，它们的情绪效价和兴奋程度不同)”可知，拍摄在各种环境下的家鸡的目的是观察它们的情绪反应。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Fluffing (抖松) head feathers were mainly associated with a state of contentment, whereas flushing indicated that the birds were positively excited or fearful.(蓬松的头部羽毛主要与满足的状态有关，而脸红则表明鸟类非常兴奋或害怕)”可知，家鸡感到满足的时候会抖动头部羽毛。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“These findings offer a window into the emotional experiences of domestic birds, which could be used to improve the welfare of farmed poultry (家禽), the researchers say.(研究人员说，这些发现为家禽的情感体验提供了一个窗口，可以用来改善养殖家禽的福利)”可推知，该研究可以用来提高家禽的福利，属于农业领域。故选C。 D Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is associated with disruptions to several brain and psychological processes, including impaired learning and memory. Physical activity, especially aerobic (有氧的) exercise, has been found to reduce depressive symptoms, but until now the processes behind this have been poorly understood. In a new review article published in Translational Psychiatry, researchers propose a novel assumption to understand the antidepressant effects of exercise. They believe that the process may hinge on motivation, which is very important for relieving a number of symptoms of depression, such as anhedonia (a lack of interest or joy in life's experiences), low energy and “brain fog”. The team summarised research papers exploring the mechanisms (机制) of depression in both humans and animals and concluded that depression, especially anhedonia, is associated with increased inflammation (炎症) caused by the body's immune response. Importantly, inflammation is also linked to disrupting dopamine transmission. These biological changes may represent key processes leading to changes in motivation, and in particular a lower willingness to make physical or mental effort. Meanwhile, exercise reduces inflammation, boosts dopamine function, and enhances motivation. The researchers believe that this could be an important reason as to why exercise has an antidepressant effect. The team hope that this understanding of how exercise reduces symptoms of depression will help to inform the development of new treatment strategies— such as personalised exercise programmes. Dr Emily Hird (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) said, “Understanding the mechanisms behind the antidepressant effects of physical activity in depression could also inform our understanding of the mechanisms causing depression and the development of novel intervention strategies, in particular, personalised intervention, and social prescribing.” “It would be important to investigate any potential barrier to exercise,” Dr Hird added. “Addressing barriers to exercise— particularly in people with depression— is crucial, as regular physical activity may be able to relieve symptoms, enhance mood and empower individuals on their path to recovery. As part of this, finding strategies to encourage exercise is key.” 32. What is the impact of depression worldwide? A. It is the most widespread illness. B. It is the leading cause of death. C. It leads to high rate of disability. D. It becomes the focus of health. 33. Which can best replace the underlined part “hinge on” in paragraph 2? A. work on B. depend on C. put on D. get on 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reasons behind depression. B. The consequences of inflammation. C. The way the body's immune system response. D. The main point of the research team. 35. What does Dr Hird stress in the last paragraph? A. Barriers to taking aerobic exercise. B. The importance of aerobic exercise. C. Paths to recovery from depression. D. Proper methods of encouraging exercise. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了抑郁症是世界范围内导致残疾的主要原因，与一些大脑和心理过程的中断有关，包括学习和记忆受损。体育活动，尤其是有氧运动，已经被发现可以减轻抑郁症状。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is associated with disruptions to several brain and psychological processes, including impaired learning and memory.( 抑郁症是世界范围内导致残疾的主要原因，与一些大脑和心理过程的中断有关，包括学习和记忆受损。)”可知，抑郁症在世界范围内的影响是它导致高残疾率。故选C项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线短语句中“They believe that the process may… motivation, which is very important for relieving a number of symptoms of depression, such as anhedonia (a lack of interest or joy in life's experiences), low energy and “brain fog”.( 他们认为，这个过程可能……动机，这对于缓解一些抑郁症的症状非常重要，比如快感缺乏（对生活经历缺乏兴趣或乐趣）、精力不足和“脑雾”。)”由此可知，此处为这个过程可能取决于动机。故可猜测划线短语hinge on为“取决于”的意思，和B选项depend on“依靠，取决”意思一致。故选B项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The team summarised research papers exploring the mechanisms (机制) of depression in both humans and animals and concluded that depression, especially anhedonia, is associated with increased inflammation (炎症) caused by the body's immune response. Importantly, inflammation is also linked to disrupting dopamine transmission. These biological changes may represent key processes leading to changes in motivation, and in particular a lower willingness to make physical or mental effort.( 该团队总结了探索人类和动物抑郁症机制的研究论文，并得出结论：抑郁症，尤其是快感缺乏，与身体免疫反应引起的炎症增加有关。重要的是，炎症也与破坏多巴胺的传递有关。这些生理上的变化可能代表了导致动机变化的关键过程，特别是降低了付出体力或精神努力的意愿。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是抑郁症背后的原因。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Addressing barriers to exercise— particularly in people with depression— is crucial, as regular physical activity may be able to relieve symptoms, enhance mood and empower individuals on their path to recovery. As part of this, finding strategies to encourage exercise is key.”(“解决运动障碍——尤其是抑郁症患者——是至关重要的，因为定期的体育活动可能能够缓解症状，改善情绪，并使个人走上康复之路。”因此，找到鼓励锻炼的策略是关键。”)”可推知，Hird博士在最后一段强调了找到鼓励锻炼的策略。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you have those days when you say to yourself “I don’t need school” or when you just can't find the motivation to pay attention in school or get your homework done? ____36____ Here are some tips to keep yourself motivated in school so that you can succeed and achieve your goals. Set concrete academic goals. ____37____ If you just want to “do better” in school, does that mean an A? Or a B? Are you just trying to pass? Sit down and set specific benchmarks for yourself. You might say you want to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, or that you want to get at least an A — in history this year. Study efficiently. Avoid cramming and focus on creating your own understanding. It’s easy to just sit in front of your book and read passively without really absorbing the information. ____38____ If you find it most efficient to focus on one subject at a time, do that. If bouncing between a few similar subjects helps you stay on task, that’s fine, too. ____39____ This will help you commit the material to memory. It’s better to spend 10-15 minutes studying every night than to try and stuff everything into one study session the night before the big test. Research has shown that stuffing is one of the least efficient ways to prepare for a test, so avoid it at all costs. Take care of your body. Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. You cannot stay motivated if you’re so physically under the weather that your body can't focus.

Three years ago, during a charity event, she signed up to be a bone marrow(骨髓) donor, hoping to make a difference in someone's life. As time passed, the memory of that selfless act faded into the background of her busy life as a high school English teacher. In September 2022, Adam and Candace Cromer learned that their daughter, Sophie, then only 6 years old, had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare and serious bone marrow disease. “It was severe,” Candace said. “We did our own research and found the only cure option was to have a bone marrow transplant.” It was an ordinary afternoon when Maycie's phone rang and she answered, expecting a routine call, but the voice on the other end brought unexpected news. “Hello, Maycie? This is calling from the National Bone Marrow Registry. We have a potential match for your donor profile. A young girl named Sophie, who is suffering from a rare and severe bone marrow disease called aplastic anemia, needs your help. Are you still willing to donate?” The news that she was a match for Sophie left her both surprised and nervous. Unsure of what to do, she sought guidance from her father. “He said that I should think about it and I did,” she shared. After taking his advice, she made the life-changing decision. “I'm so glad I said yes,” Maycie added, reflecting on the experience. The process was swift and efficient. Maycie underwent a series of tests to confirm her compatibility, and soon, it was confirmed that she was indeed a match for Sophie. The thought of being able to save a child's life filled her with a profound sense of purpose and joy. In January 2023, Sophie's life was saved by a bone marrow transplant from Maycie. The Children's of Alabama organized a special meeting for them in September 2024. 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。 On the day of the reunion, Maycie walked into a room filled with balloons and smiles. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Sophie healthy and lively, Maycie was glad she had made that decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the day of the reunion, Maycie walked into a room filled with balloons and smiles. There, she saw Sophie, now a healthy and vibrant 8-year-old, running and laughing like any other child. The transformation was astonishing, and Maycie’s heart swelled with emotion. Sophie ran towards Maycie, hugging her tightly. “You' re my hero,” she whispered, tears of joy in her eyes. Maycie held her, overwhelmed by the love and gratitude that surrounded her. The two embraced, a moment of pure joy and gratitude that brought tears to the eyes of everyone present. Seeing Sophie healthy and lively, Maycie was glad she had made that decision. It was a reminder that kindness could have profound and lasting impacts. During their reunion, Maycie reflected on the emotional experience and encouraged others to consider becoming donors, emphasizing the chance to “give the gift of life”. “Don’t even think twice,” she said. “Do it. For sure.” Maycie returned to her classroom with a renewed sense of purpose, sharing her story with her students. She wanted them to understand the power of compassion and the incredible gift of life that they could all be a part of. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了年轻的高中英语老师Maycie Fuselier是一个热心的人，三年前，在一次慈善活动中，她报名成为了一名骨髓捐赠者，希望能改变一个人的生活，最终Maycie Fuselier成功为小姑娘苏菲捐赠了骨髓。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在团聚的那天，Maycie走进了一个满是气球和微笑的房间。”可知，第一段可描写Maycie走进房间后所见到的场景及感受以及苏菲对于她的感激和Maycie的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到苏菲健康而活泼，Maycie很高兴自己做出了这个决定。”可知，第二段可描写见到健康活泼的苏菲以后Maycie庆幸自己作出了正确的决定以及回到学校后给学生讲述经过并表达希望同学们都对别人伸出援助之手的美好愿望。 2.续写线索： 进入房间见到健康活泼的苏菲—— Maycie的感受——苏菲对于Maycie的感激—— Maycie的反应——Maycie庆幸自己作出的决定——表达个人感想——回到学校——讲述个人经历——表达愿望 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be filled with/be full of ②拥抱：embrace/hug ③走进：walk into/step into 情绪类 ①令人吃惊的：astonishing/amazing ②高兴的：glad/delighted/happy ③难以置信的：incredible/unbelievable 【点睛】【高分句型1】“You' re my hero,” she whispered, tears of joy in her eyes. (运用了独立主格结构) 【高分句型2】During their reunion, Maycie reflected on the emotional experience and encouraged others to consider becoming donors, emphasizing the chance to “give the gift of life”.(运用了现在分词短语作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 高三英语考试 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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?

His wife, Lelia, equally heartbroken by the destruction of the once- vibrant (充满生机的) land, proposed an idea that seemed almost as enormous and impossible as the barrenness (荒芜) before them— replant the forest. In 1998, embracing the challenge with determination and a deep-seated desire to revive a crucial part of their country and family history, Sebastiāo and Lelia established the Instituto Terra, an environmental group dedicated to the sustainability of the Valley of the River Doce. It became a ship through which they would sail on a difficult journey to heal the land and in many ways, themselves. The couple, along with their team, embarked on a journey to replant and rebuild the1,754-acre plot of land. Slowly, the barren desert that Sebastiāo returned to began to transform, was blossoming into the lush paradise that had once existed only in his memories. Now, the region stands as a testament to what can be achieved with dedication and a dream. It is recognized as a Private Natural Heritage Reserve, a sanctuary where nature has been given the space and support to reclaim its rightful place. The once-barren cattle farm is not only thriving but has also become a shelter for hundreds of species of animals and plants. The land, now vibrant and alive, hosts 293 species of trees, 172 species of birds, 33 species of mammals, and 15 species of reptiles and amphibians, many of which are endangered and have found a safe refuge in this refreshed environment. Sebastiāo reflects on the transformation, sharing, “All the insects and birds and fish returned, and, thanks to this increase of the trees, I, too, was reborn— this was the most important moment.” 24. How was the farm when Sebastia o returned from East Africa? A. Vibrant and alive. B. Messy and noisy. C. Overgrown and enormous. D. Barren and deserted. 25. How did Sebastiāo and Lelia deal with the challenge facing them? A. Through a ship journey. B. Through team effort. C. Through government support. D. Through social donation. 26. What do the figures in paragraph 5 indicate? A. The success of the couple's work. B. The species the couple hope to save. C. The original state of the cattle farm. D. The number of wildlife in need of help. 27. What can we learn from Sebastiāo’s story? A. Bad luck often brings good luck. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Where there's a will, there's a way. D. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. C Facial expressions are an important part of human communication that allow us to convey our emotions. Scientists have found similar signals of emotion in other mammals such as dogs, pigs and mice. Although birds can produce facial expressions by moving their head feathers and flushing (发红) their skin, it is unclear whether they express emotions in this way. To investigate, researchers from INRAE and CNRS, France, filmed 18 female domestic chickens from two breeds, as they performed routine behaviors on a French farm. They also filmed the birds while being captured and held by a human, and while being rewarded with an appealing food. The researchers analyzed the position of their facial feathers and the color of the exposed skin on their faces in seven contexts that differed in their emotional valence (效价) and level of excitement. For example, birds preen their feathers when they are relaxed and content, whereas receiving a rewarding food generally causes excitement and happiness, and being captured is an exciting but fearful experience. The results suggested that the position of the head feathers and the color of the skin varied between contexts. Fluffing (抖松) head feathers were mainly associated with a state of contentment, whereas flushing indicated that the birds were positively excited or fearful. The study is the first to investigate facial displays of emotion in chickens, and suggests that domestic hens use facial expressions to show their emotions, much like humans and other mammals do. These findings offer a window into the emotional experiences of domestic birds, which could be used to improve the welfare of farmed poultry (家禽), the researchers say. The skin flushing on the face of the domestic birds is a window into their emotions. The intensity of the flushing varies within a few seconds depending on the emotional situations they experience, the researchers add. 28. What were the researchers trying to understand about chickens? A. Why they move their head feathers. B. How their faces show their emotions. C. How they communicate with humans. D. What they need to eat to stay healthy. 29. Why did the researchers film the chickens in various situations? A. To record their daily activities. B. To check the impact of weather. C. To compare them with mammals. D. To observe their emotional responses. 30. In which case will a hen fluff its head feathers? A. When it’s satisfied. B. When it’s fearful. C. When it’s tired. D. When it’s excited. 31. What field might the research be applied to? A. Psychology. B. Biology. C. Agriculture. D. Communication. D Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is associated with disruptions to several brain and psychological processes, including impaired learning and memory. Physical activity, especially aerobic (有氧的) exercise, has been found to reduce depressive symptoms, but until now the processes behind this have been poorly understood. In a new review article published in Translational Psychiatry researchers propose a novel assumption to understand the antidepressant effects of exercise. They believe that the process may hinge on motivation, which is very important for relieving a number of symptoms of depression, such as anhedonia (a lack of interest or joy in life's experiences), low energy and “brain fog”. The team summarised research papers exploring the mechanisms (机制) of depression in both humans and animals and concluded that depression, especially anhedonia, is associated with increased inflammation (炎症) caused by the body's immune response. Importantly, inflammation is also linked to disrupting dopamine transmission. These biological changes may represent key processes leading to changes in motivation, and in particular a lower willingness to make physical or mental effort. Meanwhile, exercise reduces inflammation, boosts dopamine function, and enhances motivation. The researchers believe that this could be an important reason as to why exercise has an antidepressant effect. The team hope that this understanding of how exercise reduces symptoms of depression will help to inform the development of new treatment strategies— such as personalised exercise programmes. Dr Emily Hird (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) said, “Understanding the mechanisms behind the antidepressant effects of physical activity in depression could also inform our understanding of the mechanisms causing depression and the development of novel intervention strategies, in particular, personalised intervention, and social prescribing.” “It would be important to investigate any potential barrier to exercise,” Dr Hird added. “Addressing barriers to exercise— particularly in people with depression— is crucial, as regular physical activity may be able to relieve symptoms, enhance mood and empower individuals on their path to recovery. As part of this, finding strategies to encourage exercise is key.” 32. What is the impact of depression worldwide? A. It is the most widespread illness. B. It is the leading cause of death. C. It leads to high rate of disability. D. It becomes the focus of health. 33. Which can best replace the underlined part “hinge on” in paragraph 2? A. work on B. depend on C. put on D. get on 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reasons behind depression. B. The consequences of inflammation. C. The way the body's immune system response. D. The main point of the research team. 35. What does Dr Hird stress in the last paragraph? A. Barriers to taking aerobic exercise. B. The importance of aerobic exercise. C Paths to recovery from depression. D. Proper methods of encouraging exercise. 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。 Do you have those days when you say to yourself “I don’t need school” or when you just can't find the motivation to pay attention in school or get your homework done? ____36____ Here are some tips to keep yourself motivated in school so that you can succeed and achieve your goals. Set concrete academic goals. ____37____ If you just want to “do better” in school, does that mean an A? Or a B? Are you just trying to pass? Sit down and set specific benchmarks for yourself.

Three years ago, during a charity event, she signed up to be a bone marrow(骨髓) donor, hoping to make a difference in someone's life. As time passed, the memory of that selfless act faded into the background of her busy life as a high school English teacher. In September 2022, Adam and Candace Cromer learned that their daughter, Sophie, then only 6 years old, had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare and serious bone marrow disease. “It was severe,” Candace said. “We did our own research and found the only cure option was to have a bone marrow transplant.” It was an ordinary afternoon when Maycie's phone rang and she answered, expecting a routine call, but the voice on the other end brought unexpected news. “Hello, Maycie? This is calling from the National Bone Marrow Registry. We have a potential match for your donor profile. A young girl named Sophie, who is suffering from a rare and severe bone marrow disease called aplastic anemia, needs your help. Are you still willing to donate?” The news that she was a match for Sophie left her both surprised and nervous. Unsure of what to do, she sought guidance from her father. “He said that I should think about it and I did,” she shared. After taking his advice, she made the life-changing decision. “I'm so glad I said yes,” Maycie added, reflecting on the experience. The process was swift and efficient. Maycie underwent a series of tests to confirm her compatibility, and soon, it was confirmed that she was indeed a match for Sophie. The thought of being able to save a child's life filled her with a profound sense of purpose and joy. In January 2023, Sophie's life was saved by a bone marrow transplant from Maycie. The Children's of Alabama organized a special meeting for them in September 2024. 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。 On the day of the reunion, Maycie walked into a room filled with balloons and smiles. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Sophie healthy and lively, Maycie was glad she had made that decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
