If you are traveling this year choose a place you and your dog can enjoy equally. Crowds When you are planning on celebrating the holidays with a large crowd of family and friends, be aware of how this will affect your dog. Many dogs are not comfortable around large crowds, especially when they are not used to them. Dogs get nervous when they are surrounded by lots of unfamiliar people. In order to keep your dog comfortable during this time of year, make sure your dog has a reliable place to escape to when the crowds become noisy. Foods Many of the delicious foods you eat during the holiday season are simply not good for your dogs. If you want to make sure your dog gets to have as many tasty treats as you do during the holiday season, prepare some of your dog’s favorite doggy treats in advance. Apples and carrots make great dog snacks. Learn what foods are harmful to dogs. Decorations Holiday decorations can also be a problem for dogs. Curious by nature, your dog may be interested in the holiday decorations at its eye level. Your dog may eat these decorations, which can be a major danger. When you decorate your home, make sure your dog can’t touch the decorations, especially tinsel (金属线), which can cause health problems for animals if they eat it. The best holiday you can give your dog is one you spend with it. If you are planning on traveling, take your dog with you. 1. How should you care for your dog in a crowd? A. By getting a safe place for it. B. By always walking it around. C. By providing it with an escape exit. D. By making it surrounded by people. 2. What must be particularly considered in holiday decorations? A. Using flexible and longer tinsel. B. Using only dog- friendly decorations. C. Keeping decorations out of your dog’s reach. D. Hiding decorations in closed boxes and cases. 3. What contributes to your dog’s best holiday? A. Your company. B. Beautiful decorations. C. Enough healthy foods. D. Comfortable environment. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章就如何让狗狗和主人一起度过一个愉快的假期给出了几点建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Crowds 部分中“In order to keep your dog comfortable during this time of year, make sure your dog has a reliable place to escape to when the crowds become noisy.(为了让你的狗在一年中的这个时候感到舒适，确保你的狗在人群变得嘈杂时有一个可靠的地方可以躲避。)”可知，当人群变得吵闹时，要给狗找一个有安全感的地方进行躲避。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Decorations部分中的“When you decorate your home, make sure your dog can’t touch the decorations, especially tinsel (金属线), which can cause health problems for animals if they eat it. (当你装饰你的家时，确保你的狗不能触摸装饰品，尤其是金箔，如果它们吃了金箔会导致动物的健康问题)”可知，当你装饰你家的时候，要确保你的狗够不到那些装饰品。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The best holiday you can give your dog is one you spend with it.(你能给你的狗狗最好的假期就是和它一起度过)”可知，你能给你的狗最好的假期就是和它一起度过，即能给你的狗带来一个最好的假期的方式就是陪伴它。故选A。 B “Not only does our restaurant serve delicious Indian meals,” says Johnson Madamu, “but also creates an India - like atmosphere.” Madamu is co-owner of India Spice House, a restaurant in Woodbury, Minnesota. It’s one of the most popular Indian restaurants in the Minneapolis - St. Paul metropolitan area, which is known as the Twin Cities. Madamu explained what drew diners to his restaurant: “When they hear Indian music or look around to find beautiful paintings of the Taj Mahal and other Indian paintings, they’re reminded of India.” At present, there are more than 7,800 Indian restaurants in the United States. Raghavan Iyer, who was born in Mumbai, helped to popularize Indian food in the US. In2001, Iyer published a cookbook. He called it Betty Crocker’s Indian Home Cooking, referring to a brand known for pancakes and other familiar American foods. Iyer, who passed away last year, wanted to make Indian food available to cooks in the US. In 2017, he opened Pizz a Karma. The chain restaurant serves dishes that mix American and Indian cuisine. Mudamu said that Biryani and Butter Chicken are the two most-frequently ordered items in his restaurant. Indian food dates back more than 5,000 years. Spices used vary across the country, and the ingredients are based on the region. “One of the main differences between North Indian and South Indian food is more bread is used in the North, while the South chooses rice and coconut,” said my father, Abhishek Singh. He has lived in both areas of the South Asian country, which is home to more than 1.4 billion people. My mother, Shivangi Singh, grew up in North India. Like many others from that region, she loves street food. “Indian restaurants here give me the feel of India,” she said. “When the menu has Samosa and Chaat, I’m reminded of New Delhi. Samosa is a potato- based snack that is fried, and Chaat is made with chickpeas, boiled potatoes and spices. They are delicious and both bring me back to my happy childhood.” 4. What attracts diners to India Spice House? A. The familiar atmosphere of India. B. The beautiful paintings of landscapes. C. The popular Indian food like pancakes. D. The mix of American and Indian cuisine. 5. What can we learn about Raghavan Iyer? A. He published several cookbooks. B. He made Indian food known globally. C. He was skilled in cooking Indian food. D. He tried to advance Indian food in the US. 6. How does Shivangi Singh like Indian restaurants in the US? A. They originate from America. B. They only serve Indian street food. C. They bring past memories to her. D. They have many dishes to choose from. 7. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A study on food. B. A life magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A geographic textbook. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了在美国的印度餐厅及其食物。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Madamu explained what drew diners to his restaurant: “When they hear Indian music or look around to find beautiful paintings of the Taj Mahal and other Indian paintings, they’re reminded of India.”(Madamu解释了吸引食客来他的餐厅的原因:“当他们听到印度音乐，或者环顾四周，发现泰姬陵和其他印度绘画的美丽画作时，他们就会想起印度。”) ”可知，India Spice House 营造的印度般的氛围吸引了食客前来就餐。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Raghavan Iyer, who was born in Mumbai, helped to popularize Indian food in the US.(出生于孟买的Raghavan Iyer帮助印度食物在美国普及。)”可知，Raghavan Iyer 在美国为推动印度菜的发展做出了很大的努力。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中 Shivangi Singh 所说的话“Indian restaurants here give me the feel of India(这里的印度餐馆给了我印度的感觉)”以及 “They are delicious and both bring me back to my happy childhood. (它们都很美味，都让我想起了快乐的童年)”可知，Shivangi Singh 认为美国的印度餐厅给了她印度的感觉，一些菜把她带回到快乐的童年。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段““Not only does our restaurant serve delicious Indian meals,” says Johnson Madamu, “but also creates an India - like atmosphere.”(“我们的餐厅不仅供应美味的印度菜，”约翰逊·玛达姆说，“而且还营造了一种印度式的氛围。”)”通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了在美国的印度餐厅及其食物，这些内容与生活有关，所以本文最有可能出自一本生活杂志。故选B。 C Forests are not just the lungs of the Planet: They have huge potential (潜力) if managed sustainably, to become a major source of welfare, income and renewable products. However, a major change in thinking is needed so that this potential — worth trillions of USD in net benefits globally — is made full use of. In other words, we need to change the way that people think about wood. Wood is renewable, recyclable, climate friendly and incredibly multi - functional. It is one of humanity’s most ancient raw materials. Thanks to innovations in wood - based product development, it even can replace fossil (化石) and mineral- based building materials with heavier carbon footprints. Recently, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned that there is now a 50 chance of average global temperature reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre - industrial levels in the next five years. A huge effort is needed to change the way we live, and wood is part of the solution. Wood can play a key role in replacing single - use plastics, from drinking straws to food packaging, as part of the global movement to end plastic pollution. Equally, wood can offer realistic alternatives (替代品) to steel, concrete and textile fibers that are kinder to the Planet. Earlier this year, the XV World Forestry Congress — the world’s largest ever gathering on forests — urged people to make full use of the potential of legal, sustainably produced wood to transform the building industry and provide renewable energy and innovative new materials. In addition, representatives from several countries issued a call to stress efforts to use sustainable wood within the wider range of ongoing work to protect forests and restore degraded land. So what needs to happen to make this a reality? First, communicate the benefits of wood more effectively and improve public understanding of how sustainable forest management works. Secondly, we need to move faster towards economies that replace carbon- intensive materials with wood - based products where possible. As the buildings and construction industry currently emits almost 40 percent of energy- related global greenhouse gas emissions, switching to innovative wood- based building materials instead of concrete and steel could make a major difference to creating a sustainable environment. 8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The future of wood- based products. B. The introduction to a new raw material. C. The significant benefits provided by wood. D. The essential part wood plays in construction industry. 9. What is the current concern highlighted by the WMO? A. The decline in forest coverage. B. The consumption of fossil fuels. C. The warning in plastic pollution. D. The increase in the global temperature. 10. What was the call from the XV World Forestry Congress? A. Restoring degraded forests. B. Advertising the wooden products widely. C. Banning people from using plastic materials. D. Encouraging the use of wood in some fields. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wood Has Many Uses in Everyday Life B. Wood Influences Every Aspect of Building C. Wood Helps Shape a More Sustainable Planet D. Wood Promises to Be More Innovative Material 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了木材的益处及其有助于塑造可持续地球的潜力。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Forests are not just the lungs of the Planet: They have huge potential (潜力) if managed sustainably, to become a major source of welfare, income and renewable products. However, a major change in thinking is needed so that this potential — worth trillions of USD in net benefits globally — is made full use of.

(森林不仅是地球之肺：如果得到可持续管理，它们具有巨大潜力，可以成为福利、收入和可再生产品的主要来源。然而，需要在思维上做出重大改变，以便充分利用这一潜力——全球价值数万亿美元的净效益。换句话说，我们需要改变人们对木材的看法。木材是可再生的、可回收的、对气候友好的，而且具有不可思议的多功能。它是人类最古老的原材料之一。由于木材产品开发的创新，它甚至可以取代碳足迹较重的化石和矿物基建筑材料。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是木材的益处。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Recently, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned that there is now a5 0:50 chance of average global temperature reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre - industrial levels in the next five years. (最近，世界气象组织警告说，在未来五年内，全球平均气温比工业化前水平高出1.5摄氏度的可能性为50%。)”可知，当前世界气象组织关注的是全球气温的上升。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Earlier this year, the XV World Forestry Congress — the world’s largest ever gathering on forests — urged people to make full use of the potential of legal, sustainably produced wood to transform the building industry and provide renewable energy and innovative new materials. In addition, representatives from several countries issued a call to stress efforts to use sustainable wood within the wider range of ongoing work to protect forests and restore degraded land. (今年早些时候，第十五届世界林业大会——世界上最大的森林会议——敦促人们充分利用合法、可持续生产的木材的潜力，改变建筑行业，提供可再生能源和创新的新材料。此外，几个国家的代表发出呼吁，强调在更广泛的正在进行的保护森林和恢复退化土地的工作中努力使用可持续木材。)”内容可知，世界林业大会鼓励在一些领域使用木材。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Forests are not just the lungs of the Planet: They have huge potential (潜力) if managed sustainably, to become a major source of welfare, income and renewable products. However, a major change in thinking is needed so that this potential — worth trillions of USD in net benefits globally — is made full use of.

But a new research suggests this may be just the opposite. The study found that in animals, a high-fat diet upsets resident gut bacteria (肠道细菌), changes behavior and, through a complex pathway connecting the gut to the brain, influences brain chemicals in ways that add anxiety. “We all know that high-fat foods are not healthy foods, but we tend to think about them strictly in terms of a little weight gain,” said lead author Christopher Lowry. “If we understand that they also impact our brains in a way that can raise anxiety, that makes the risk even higher.” To better fathom what may be driving the fat-anxiety connection, Lowry’s team divided mice into two groups: Half got a standard diet of about 11% fat for nine weeks; the others received a high-fat diet, with 45% fat mostly from animal products. When compared to the control group, the group eating a high-fat diet, not surprisingly, gained weight. But the animals also showed significantly less diversity of gut bacteria. Generally speaking, more bacterial diversity is associated with better health, Lowry explained. The high-fat diet group also showed higher expression of three genes (基因) (tph2, htmla and slc6a4) involved in production and signaling of the brain chemical called serotonin — particularly in a region of the central part of the brain known as the dorsal raphe nucleus cDRD, which is associated with stress and anxiety. While serotonin is often considered as a “feel-good brain chemical”, Lowry notes that certain groups of serotonin neurons (神经元) can, when activated, touch off anxiety-like responses in animals. Especially, heightened expression of tph2 in the cDRD has been associated with mood disorders in humans. “To think that just a high-fat diet could change expression of these genes in the brain is extraordinary,” said Lowry. “The high-fat group essentially had a high anxiety state in their brains.” However, Lowry stresses that not all fats are bad, and that healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts and seeds can be good for brains. 12. What does the new research show? A. Brain chemicals cause anxiety. B. High-fat foods bring bad moods. C. Junk foods can make people happy. D. Gut bacteria benefit brain health. 13. What does the underlined word “fathom” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Assign. B. Understand. C. Stimulate. D. Inform. 14. How were the mice eating a high- fat diet by contrast with the control group? A. They looked more anxious. B. They lost much more weight. C. They suffered mood disorders. D. They lacked gut bacteria variety. 15. What’s Lowry’s attitude towards fat? A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究，该研究发现在动物身上，高脂肪饮食会破坏肠道细菌，改变行为，并通过连接肠道和大脑的复杂途径影响大脑化学物质，从而加剧焦虑。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The study found that in animals, a high-fat diet upsets resident gut bacteria (肠道细菌), changes behavior and, through a complex pathway connecting the gut to the brain, influences brain chemicals in ways that add anxiety.(研究发现，在动物中，高脂肪饮食会扰乱肠道细菌，改变行为，并通过连接肠道和大脑的复杂途径，以增加焦虑的方式影响大脑化学物质。)”可知，高脂肪食物会使人们产生焦虑，从而给人们带来坏心情。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句后文“Lowry’s team divided mice into two groups: Half got a standard diet of about 11% fat for nine weeks; the others received a high-fat diet, with 45% fat mostly from animal products (Lowry的团队将小鼠分为两组：一半的小鼠在9周内摄入约11%脂肪的标准饮食；其他小鼠则接受高脂肪饮食，其中45%的脂肪主要来自动物产品)”可知，把老鼠分成两组进行研究是为了更好地了解是什么导致了肥胖和焦虑之间的联系，故推测fathom意为“了解”，与 Understand意思相近。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When compared to the control group, the group eating a high-fat diet, not surprisingly, gained weight. But the animals also showed significantly less diversity of gut bacteria.(与对照组相比，吃高脂肪食物的那一组体重增加了，这并不奇怪。但这些动物的肠道细菌多样性也明显减少。)”可知，与对照组相比，吃高脂肪食物的老鼠缺乏肠道细菌的多样性。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The high-fat group essentially had a high anxiety state in their brains.” However, Lowry stresses that not all fats are bad, and that healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts and seeds can be good for brains. (“高脂肪组的大脑基本上处于高度焦虑状态。”然而，Lowry强调并不是所有的脂肪都是有害的，像鱼、坚果和种子中发现的健康脂肪对大脑有好处。)”可知，Lowry对脂肪持客观态度。故选C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 a song that you cannot stop thinking about? You try to stop, but the song just continues in your mind. ____16____ This is a common problem and the problem has an unusual name. It is called an earworm. ____17____ Some people experience earworms almost every day. For other people, it only happens once in a while. So what makes people experience earworms? There are four possible reasons. The first reason is simply hearing the song. A song may become an earworm for an individual just because they have heard it recently. ____18____ Sometimes an individual hears or plays a particular song often. When this happens, the song is more likely to become an earworm. Another reason is stress. It can bring past experiences into the mind and often people have strong connections between memories and music. ____19____ Triggers such as sights, sounds or smells are also major causes for earworms. These stimuli can cause an individual to start thinking about a particular song. What can you do when you have an earworm playing over and over in your head? Scientists do not have a cure for earworms. But people who experience earworms often have many suggested solutions. For example, doing difficult math problems in your head can help you concentrate on the problems rather than earworms. Another method is to write the words of the song down backwards and then sing the words as written down. ____20____ A. Earworms are difficult to research. B. It plays again and again, and again. C. Almost everyone has experienced an earworm. D. Repeated exposure also makes a song an earworm. E. This troubles the brain and it immediately stops singing. F. Then your mind starts singing the main part of a popular song. G. So a particular memory may cause the brain to think of a particular song. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了“耳朵虫”（earworm）这一现象，即歌曲在脑海中反复播放的情况，分析了其发生的可能原因，并给出了一些建议的解决方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Do you have a song that you cannot stop thinking about? You try to stop, but the song just continues in your mind.(你有没有哪首歌让你无法停止思考？你试着停下来，但这首歌在你的脑海里继续)”可知，这首歌在你的脑海里继续播放，B项“It plays again, and again, and again.(它一遍又一遍地播放)”是对前文的进一步说明，符合文意。故选B项。 【17题详解】 空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Some people experience earworms almost every day. For other people, it only happens once in a while. So what makes people experience earworms?(有些人几乎每天都有耳朵虫。对其他人来说，这只是偶尔发生。那么是什么让人们感到耳朵虫呢？)”可知，此处讲述有的人每天都有耳朵虫。而有的人偶尔有，所以C项“Almost everyone has experienced an earworm.(几乎每个人都有过耳朵虫的经历)”符合本段主题，承接上文，引出下文。故选C项。 18题详解】 根据前文“The first reason is simply hearing the song. A song may become an earworm for an individual just because they have heard it recently.(第一个原因是仅仅听这首歌。一首歌可能会成为一个人的耳朵虫，只是因为他们最近听过这首歌)”以及后文“Sometimes an individual hears or plays a particular song often. When this happens, the song is more likely to become an earworm.(有时一个人经常听到或演奏一首特定的歌曲。当这种情况发生时，这首歌更有可能成为耳朵虫)”可知，此处在讲述一首歌可能会成为一个人的耳朵虫的原因是因为经常听这一首特定的歌，所以D项“Repeated exposure also makes a song an earworm.(重复播放也会让一首歌成为耳朵虫)”符合此处主题。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Another reason is stress. It can bring past experiences into the mind and often people have strong connections between memories and music.(另一个原因是压力。它可以把过去的经历带入脑海，人们通常在记忆和音乐之间有很强的联系)”可知，此处主要讲述音乐和记忆之间的关系，所以G项“So a particular memory may cause the brain to think of a particular song.(所以一个特定的记忆可能会让大脑想起一首特定的歌)”和前文构成因果关系，符合此处主题。故选G项。 【20题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“For example, doing difficult math problems in your head can help you concentrate on the problems rather than earworms. Another method is to write the words of the song down backwards and then sing the words as written down.(例如，在脑子里做数学题可以帮助你集中精力解决问题，而不是全神贯注。另一种方法是把歌词倒着写下来，然后照着写的唱出来)”可知，E项“This troubles the brain and it immediately stops singing.(这会扰乱大脑，使其立即停止歌唱)”是对前文方法的总结，讲述前文的方法会产生怎样的结果，符合文意。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a teenager, I found myself lost in a sea of doubt.

Jack was crazy about sports, with a heart for basketball above all else. He dreamed of one day standing on the court, sweat dripping, heart pounding, in a championship game. When news broke that his school was to compete in an inter- school basketball tournament, Jack’s eyes lit up with excitement. Every day after school, the sun still high in the sky, Jack would make a beeline for the school’s outdoor basketball court and spend hours sharpening his skills. His determination was undeniable(不可否认的), and his friends often joined him, their bond strengthened by shared sweat and laughter. But an unfortunate and unexpected thing occurred. During a routine PE class, Jack, eager to show a new move, accidentally hurt his ankle while jumping for a rebound. Falling to the ground, he felt a sharp pain shooting through his ankle. Jack held his injured leg tightly, tears filled with his eyes. He suffered great pain, and his heart sank as he realized the severity of the injury. The doctor’s words were cruel: rest and no basketball for months. Jack’s dream of taking part in the tournament seemed to disappear like smog in the morning sun. However, Jack’s spirit refused to be defeated. He chose to focus on the positive, realizing that true sportsmanship lay not just in winning but also in supporting those around him. Among his closest friends was Tom, a talented basketball player who had always admired Jack’s devotion and skills. Jack gathered the courage to approach Tom, offering him his blessing and urging him to represent their school in the tournament. “You have what it takes, Tom. You have the skills, the heart, and now, the opportunity. I want you to take it all the way. Go out there and make me proud,” Jack said, his eyes shining with genuine pride and determination. 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。 Tom, initially hesitant, then was inspired by Jack’s words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the tournament arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Tom, initially hesitant, then was inspired by Jack’s words. With Jack’s unwavering support by his side, Tom trained harder than ever. Together, they watched game tapes, analyzed opponents and practiced drills in the backyard, Jack offering guidance from his chair. Tom, fueled by Jack’s strong belief in him, worked tirelessly, pushing his limits both physically and mentally. He often found himself practicing late into the night, imagining Jack’s voice in his ear, urging him on. “I can make it, not only for myself, but for Jack and our friendship!” Tom repeated these words in his mind. Finally, the day of the tournament arrived. The gym was packed with students and supporters, all eager to witness the fierce competition. As Tom stepped onto the court, his eyes scanned a glimpse of his friend, a smile of pure pride and encouragement on his face. The atmosphere on the court was electric. After fierce and intense competition, Tom and his team won. Seeing this, tears of happiness streamed down Jack’s cheeks. He knew that he had achieved something even greater than playing on the court himself — he had helped his friend fulfill a dream, and in doing so, had found his own victory. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克是一名热爱体育，特别是篮球的高中生。他梦想参加冠军赛，但意外受伤使他无法参加比赛。然而，他没有放弃，选择关注积极的一面，并鼓励汤姆代表他们的学校参加比赛。他们一起观看比赛录像，分析对手，汤姆在杰克的指导下刻苦训练。最终，汤姆和他的团队赢得了比赛，他们的友谊也因为共同的追求得到了加强。杰克知道，帮助汤姆实现梦想就是他自己的胜利。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤姆起初犹豫不决，后来被杰克的话鼓舞了。”可知，第一段可描写在杰克坚定的支持下，汤姆比以往任何时候都更加努力地训练。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，比赛的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写汤姆和他的队伍赢了比赛，幸福的泪水顺着杰克的脸颊流下来。 2.续写线索：被杰克的话鼓舞了——更加努力地训练——比赛的日子到了——汤姆和他的队伍赢了——杰克激动的哭了——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offering /providing ②.挤满了：was packed with/was crowded with ③.实现：fulfill /realize 情绪类 ①.不知疲倦地：tirelessly/ indefatigably ②.骄傲，自豪：pride/ glory 【点睛】[高分句型1]Tom, fueled by Jack’s strong belief in him, worked tirelessly, pushing his limits both physically and mentally.（运用了非谓语动词中的过去分词作定语以及现在分词作状语。） [高分句型2]As Tom stepped onto the court, his eyes scanned a glimpse of his friend, a smile of pure pride and encouragement on his face.（运用了As引导的时间状语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 延边第二中学2024—2025学年度第一学期 第二次阶段检测 高二英语试卷 (本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 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.

If you are traveling this year, choose a place you and your dog can enjoy equally. Crowds When you are planning on celebrating the holidays with a large crowd of family and friends, be aware of how this will affect your dog. Many dogs are not comfortable around large crowds, especially when they are not used to them. Dogs get nervous when they are surrounded by lots of unfamiliar people. In order to keep your dog comfortable during this time of year, make sure your dog has a reliable place to escape to when the crowds become noisy. Foods Many of the delicious foods you eat during the holiday season are simply not good for your dogs. If you want to make sure your dog gets to have as many tasty treats as you do during the holiday season, prepare some of your dog’s favorite doggy treats in advance. Apples and carrots make great dog snacks. Learn what foods are harmful to dogs. Decorations Holiday decorations can also be a problem for dogs. Curious by nature, your dog may be interested in the holiday decorations at its eye level. Your dog may eat these decorations, which can be a major danger. When you decorate your home, make sure your dog can’t touch the decorations, especially tinsel (金属线), which can cause health problems for animals if they eat it. The best holiday you can give your dog is one you spend with it. If you are planning on traveling, take your dog with you. 1. How should you care for your dog in a crowd? A. By getting a safe place for it. B. By always walking it around. C. By providing it with an escape exit. D. By making it surrounded by people. 2. What must be particularly considered in holiday decorations? A. Using flexible and longer tinsel. B. Using only dog- friendly decorations. C. Keeping decorations out of your dog’s reach. D. Hiding decorations in closed boxes and cases. 3. What contributes to your dog’s best holiday? A. Your company. B. Beautiful decorations. C. Enough healthy foods. D. Comfortable environment. B “Not only does our restaurant serve delicious Indian meals,” says Johnson Madamu, “but also creates an India - like atmosphere.” Madamu is co-owner of India Spice House, a restaurant in Woodbury, Minnesota. It’s one of the most popular Indian restaurants in the Minneapolis - St. Paul metropolitan area, which is known as the Twin Cities. Madamu explained what drew diners to his restaurant: “When they hear Indian music or look around to find beautiful paintings of the Taj Mahal and other Indian paintings, they’re reminded of India.” At present, there are more than 7,800 Indian restaurants in the United States. Raghavan Iyer, who was born in Mumbai, helped to popularize Indian food in the US. In2001, Iyer published a cookbook. He called it Betty Crocker’s Indian Home Cooking, referring to a brand known for pancakes and other familiar American foods. Iyer, who passed away last year, wanted to make Indian food available to cooks in the US. In 2017, he opened Pizz a Karma. The chain restaurant serves dishes that mix American and Indian cuisine. Mudamu said that Biryani and Butter Chicken are the two most-frequently ordered items in his restaurant. Indian food dates back more than 5,000 years. Spices used vary across the country, and the ingredients are based on the region. “One of the main differences between North Indian and South Indian food is more bread is used in the North, while the South chooses rice and coconut,” said my father, Abhishek Singh. He has lived in both areas of the South Asian country, which is home to more than 1.4 billion people. My mother Shivangi Singh, grew up in North India. Like many others from that region, she loves street food. “Indian restaurants here give me the feel of India,” she said. “When the menu has Samosa and Chaat, I’m reminded of New Delhi. Samosa is a potato- based snack that is fried, and Chaat is made with chickpeas, boiled potatoes and spices. They are delicious and both bring me back to my happy childhood.” 4. What attracts diners to India Spice House? A. The familiar atmosphere of India. B. The beautiful paintings of landscapes. C. The popular Indian food like pancakes. D. The mix of American and Indian cuisine. 5. What can we learn about Raghavan Iyer? A. He published several cookbooks. B. He made Indian food known globally. C. He was skilled in cooking Indian food. D. He tried to advance Indian food in the US. 6. How does Shivangi Singh like Indian restaurants in the US? A. They originate from America. B. They only serve Indian street food. C. They bring past memories to her. D. They have many dishes to choose from. 7. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A study on food. B. A life magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A geographic textbook. C Forests are not just the lungs of the Planet: They have huge potential (潜力) if managed sustainably, to become a major source of welfare, income and renewable products. However, a major change in thinking is needed so that this potential — worth trillions of USD in net benefits globally — is made full use of. In other words, we need to change the way that people think about wood. Wood is renewable, recyclable, climate friendly and incredibly multi - functional. It is one of humanity’s most ancient raw materials. Thanks to innovations in wood - based product development, it even can replace fossil (化石) and mineral- based building materials with heavier carbon footprints. Recently, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned that there is now a 50 chance of average global temperature reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre - industrial levels in the next five years. A huge effort is needed to change the way we live, and wood is part of the solution. Wood can play a key role in replacing single - use plastics, from drinking straws to food packaging, as part of the global movement to end plastic pollution. Equally, wood can offer realistic alternatives (替代品) to steel, concrete and textile fibers that are kinder to the Planet. Earlier this year, the XV World Forestry Congress — the world’s largest ever gathering on forests — urged people to make full use of the potential of legal, sustainably produced wood to transform the building industry and provide renewable energy and innovative new materials. In addition, representatives from several countries issued a call to stress efforts to use sustainable wood within the wider range of ongoing work to protect forests and restore degraded land. So what needs to happen to make this a reality? First, communicate the benefits of wood more effectively and improve public understanding of how sustainable forest management works. Secondly, we need to move faster towards economies that replace carbon- intensive materials with wood - based products where possible. As the buildings and construction industry currently emits almost 40 percent of energy- related global greenhouse gas emissions, switching to innovative wood- based building materials instead of concrete and steel could make a major difference to creating a sustainable environment. 8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The future of wood- based products. B. The introduction to a new raw material. C. The significant benefits provided by wood. D. The essential part wood plays in construction industry. 9. What is the current concern highlighted by the WMO? A. The decline in forest coverage. B. The consumption of fossil fuels. C. The warning in plastic pollution. D. The increase in the global temperature. 10. What was the call from the XV World Forestry Congress? A Restoring degraded forests. B Advertising the wooden products widely. C. Banning people from using plastic materials. D. Encouraging the use of wood in some fields. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wood Has Many Uses in Everyday Life B. Wood Influences Every Aspect of Building C. Wood Helps Shape a More Sustainable Planet D. Wood Promises to Be More Innovative Material D When stressed out, many of us turn to junk foods like deep-fried food for comfort. But a new research suggests this may be just the opposite. The study found that in animals, a high-fat diet upsets resident gut bacteria (肠道细菌), changes behavior and, through a complex pathway connecting the gut to the brain, influences brain chemicals in ways that add anxiety. “We all know that high-fat foods are not healthy foods, but we tend to think about them strictly in terms of a little weight gain,” said lead author Christopher Lowry. “If we understand that they also impact our brains in a way that can raise anxiety, that makes the risk even higher.” To better fathom what may be driving the fat-anxiety connection, Lowry’s team divided mice into two groups: Half got a standard diet of about 11% fat for nine weeks; the others received a high-fat diet, with 45% fat mostly from animal products. When compared to the control group, the group eating a high-fat diet, not surprisingly, gained weight. But the animals also showed significantly less diversity of gut bacteria. Generally speaking, more bacterial diversity is associated with better health, Lowry explained. The high-fat diet group also showed higher expression of three genes (基因) (tph2, htmla and slc6a4) involved in production and signaling of the brain chemical called serotonin — particularly in a region of the central part of the brain known as the dorsal raphe nucleus cDRD, which is associated with stress and anxiety. While serotonin is often considered as a “feel-good brain chemical”, Lowry notes that certain groups of serotonin neurons (神经元) can, when activated, touch off anxiety-like responses in animals. Especially, heightened expression of tph2 in the cDRD has been associated with mood disorders in humans. “To think that just a high-fat diet could change expression of these genes in the brain is extraordinary,” said Lowry. “The high-fat group essentially had a high anxiety state in their brains.” However, Lowry stresses that not all fats are bad, and that healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts and seeds can be good for brains. 12. What does the new research show? A. Brain chemicals cause anxiety. B. High-fat foods bring bad moods. C. Junk foods can make people happy. D. Gut bacteria benefit brain health. 13. What does the underlined word “fathom” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Assign. B. Understand. C. Stimulate. D. Inform. 14. How were the mice eating a high- fat diet by contrast with the control group? A. They looked more anxious. B. They lost much more weight. C. They suffered mood disorders. D. They lacked gut bacteria variety. 15. What’s Lowry’s attitude towards fat? A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 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 a song that you cannot stop thinking about? You try to stop, but the song just continues in your mind. ____16____ This is a common problem and the problem has an unusual name. It is called an earworm. ____17____ Some people experience earworms almost every day. For other people, it only happens once in a while. So what makes people experience earworms? There are four possible reasons. The first reason is simply hearing the song. A song may become an earworm for an individual just because they have heard it recently. ____18____ Sometimes an individual hears or plays a particular song often. When this happens the song is more likely to become an earworm. Another reason is stress.

These stimuli can cause an individual to start thinking about a particular song. What can you do when you have an earworm playing over and over in your head? Scientists do not have a cure for earworms. But people who experience earworms often have many suggested solutions. For example, doing difficult math problems in your head can help you concentrate on the problems rather than earworms. Another method is to write the words of the song down backwards and then sing the words as written down. ____20____ A. Earworms are difficult to research. B. It plays again, and again, and again. C. Almost everyone has experienced an earworm. D. Repeated exposure also makes a song an earworm. E. This troubles the brain and it immediately stops singing. F.

Jack was crazy about sports, with a heart for basketball above all else. He dreamed of one day standing on the court, sweat dripping, heart pounding, in a championship game. When news broke that his school was to compete in an inter- school basketball tournament, Jack’s eyes lit up with excitement. Every day after school, the sun still high in the sky, Jack would make a beeline for the school’s outdoor basketball court and spend hours sharpening his skills. His determination was undeniable(不可否认的), and his friends often joined him, their bond strengthened by shared sweat and laughter. But an unfortunate and unexpected thing occurred. During a routine PE class, Jack, eager to show a new move, accidentally hurt his ankle while jumping for a rebound. Falling to the ground, he felt a sharp pain shooting through his ankle. Jack held his injured leg tightly, tears filled with his eyes. He suffered great pain, and his heart sank as he realized the severity of the injury. The doctor’s words were cruel: rest and no basketball for months. Jack’s dream of taking part in the tournament seemed to disappear like smog in the morning sun. However, Jack’s spirit refused to be defeated. He chose to focus on the positive, realizing that true sportsmanship lay not just in winning but also in supporting those around him. Among his closest friends was Tom, a talented basketball player who had always admired Jack’s devotion and skills. Jack gathered the courage to approach Tom, offering him his blessing and urging him to represent their school in the tournament. “You have what it takes, Tom. You have the skills, the heart, and now, the opportunity. I want you to take it all the way. Go out there and make me proud,” Jack said, his eyes shining with genuine pride and determination. 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。 Tom, initially hesitant, then was inspired by Jack’s words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the tournament arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
