Smart home devices have become more affordable and easier to set up than in years past. Here are some of the top smart home devices of the year. Philips Hue Starter Kit Compatible (兼容的) with some relevant apps on your smart phone for voice control and integration, Philips Hue Starter Kit has everything you need to make your lights smarter. Users can control the lights remotely wherever they use the app. One buyer said “Love that I can switch on lights remotely and change the colors of the room from an app on the phone.” Nest Thermostat (恒温器) With reliable performance, the Nest Thermostat has proven to be one of best products ever. It enables you to control your home’s temperature from your smart phone, and program it to enter energy-efficient mode when you leave the house. One buyer remarked, “One of its outstanding features is its ability to learn your preferences and automatically adjust settings to keep you comfortable.” Automatic Curtain Opener The smart curtain is suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, offices, baby rooms, and more. Its upgraded motor ensures smooth operation even on heavy curtains (up to 15KG), perfect for thick curtain materials. Meanwhile, its silent mode enables your device to operate below 25dB (分贝), allowing your curtains to drift slower and quieter, great for waking up in the morning and perfect for those with sleep disorders or people who are sensitive to sound. This environmentally friendly device is easy to use and saves electricity. Users can use the mobile app to manage curtain opening, closing, and open percentage. Voice commands are also accepted. 23. What can the Nest Thermostat do? A. Save energy. B. Change the users’ habits. C. Operate in a silent mode. D. Correct the users’ sleeping disorder. 24. All the three products ________. A. support voice control B. provide customer service C. can learn the users’ preferences D. can be controlled from the smart phone B It’s a Saturday morning and I’m just four metres from the ground, clinging to (抓紧) a wall. I’ve reached the top and can’t find a foothold to start back down. My heart is beating fast and my whole body is cold. I could just let go and drop to the thick, soft safety mats (垫子) below; but although I know that wouldn’t hurt, somehow it seems incredible. I am here to find out why so many people are falling in love with indoor climbing. It is reported that there are over 35 million climbers worldwide, and in the UK alone the numbers are growing by 15 — 20% a year. So, what’s the attraction? “I find it really hard not to think about work all the time,” says Paul Lennon, who has been climbing for two years. “The wall is the one place where I don’t even need to try to switch off. You just focus on what you’re doing and it’s very relaxing. There’s lots of problem-solving, working out where to put your hands and feet. The mental effort distracts you from doing much else.” Another thing that interests me, is the number of women in this activity. “It’s non-threatening, and you don’t need to be a great athlete to do it.” says 24-year-old Yasmine, who has been climbing for three years. “I don’t feel at a disadvantage, and I know some other women climbers feel like me. If a tall strong guy does the climb with a one-arm pull-up, I can do it by stretching out one of my legs and balancing on a hold. My years of gymnastics when I was at school have really helped. Although I’m short and look relatively weak compared with others, I’ve got a leg-up in other ways.” When I eventually unfreeze and make it back down to earth, I notice a nine-year-old girl. She seems much more mature in the decision making and team-working skills than I would normally expect from children of her age. Having learned that she has been to classes for about two years. I decide to have another go! 25. Reaching the top of the wall, the author feels________. A. bored B. disappointed C. depressed D. frightened 26. Paul Lennon likes wall climbing because it helps him________. A. build up his body B. find the meaning of life C. get away from work D. solve physical problems 27. According to Yasmine, what is her advantage in wall climbing? A. Body flexibility. B. Teamwork spirit. C. Teaching experience. D. Professional knowledge. C It’s true that there’s something pleasant and trustworthy about a smile — but this can be misleading. Dig a little deeper and you will find that the smile is actually one of the biggest fakes going. We all put on a smile now and again to comfort our fellow humans and avoid unnecessary conflict. We all suppose, however, that a genuine (真诚) smile of true enjoyment is something very different. In fact, it has been given a name: the Duchenne smile. This smile uses the muscles around the eyes to lift the cheeks, producing wrinkles around the eyes, and has long been held as an inimitable(不可仿效的) sign of true human emotion. Or at least it was until 2013, when researchers from Boston destroyed that saying. In their study, one group of volunteers were asked to reproduce smiles shown in photographs, and another group to evaluate whether the first group’s smiles were genuine Some of the photographs showed mouth-only smiles, but others showed smiles using both mouth and eye-muscles. Two-thirds of individuals turned out to be able to fake a supposedly genuine smile, and they were also able to do this well in their everyday lives. These findings indicate that even the supposedly genuine Duchenne smile can be convincingly simulated. So much for smiling being an inimitable sign of true human emotion. But why are some people so good at this kind of simulation? The answer isn’t necessarily evil or harmful. In fact, more researches have demonstrated that you can actually smile yourself into a better mood. Fake or not, putting on a Duchenne smile may be just the medicine to fight against physical and mental difficulties. The smile, then, can be a false friend. People smile — or not — for all kinds of reasons beyond simply how happy they are feeling. But, as the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them. Next time you’re having your photograph taken, don’t say “cheese”; say “cheeks”. Saying “cheeks” will not only shape your mouth nicely, but will also remind you to squeeze your cheeks upwards into a visually satisfying, genuine-looking Duchenne smile. 28. The Boston researchers’ study proves that ________. A. smiles don’t help with communication B. not all genuine-looking smiles show true enjoyment C. the Duchenne smile can’t be replaced by other expressions D. the volunteers with true smiles won’t get upset easily in daily life 29. What does the underlined word “simulated” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Adjusted. B. Spread. C. Pretended. D. Tested. 30. What is the author’s attitude toward false smiles? A. Reserved. B. Hesitant. C. Accepting. D. Negative. D It is one of the biggest questions in environmental protection: Should we be sharing our landscapes with nature by restoring small woodlands and adopting small-size eco-friendly farming? Or should we instead be sparing large areas of land for nature — by creating more national parks and industrializing agriculture on existing farmland? The argument between ‘sparing’ and ‘sharing’ began decades ago. Leading today’s argument for the sparers is the researcher Beniamin Phalan, who believes that by producing more food per unit of farm area, more land would be available for wildlife. He looked at the relationship between crop yields and the number of bird and tree species in the forests in Africa and Asia, and found that biodiversity did best where intensified cropping left space for unfarmed habitats He concluded that “most species will have larger populations if food is produced on as small an area as possible, while sparing as large an area of nature as possible.” Game over? Not so fast. A leading supporter of wildlife-friendly farming, Claire Kremen of the University of California Berkeley, has come out fighting. She says that Phalan’s findings “don’t assess the long-term consequences of isolating (孤立) species in protected areas.” Her research shows that “even very large protected areas will lose species if they remain isolated over time.” So in the long run, sparing won’t spare more land for nature conservation or feed the world for ever. To avoid mass extinction and ecosystem breakdown, we must integrate biodiversity protection into the landscape we use. So, sparing or sharing? In fact, agricultural intensification won’t deliver more land for nature unless there are tough rules to protect land not yet farmed. In the 19th century, more efficient coal-powered engines did not reduce coal burning but massively increased it by kick-starting the industrial revolution. Following that example, the result of agricultural intensification will probably be more land to be farmed. Nature does not recognize the boundaries of national parks. Whether migrating elephants in Kenya or monarch butterflies in North America much nature exists in human-made agricultural landscapes. Recent research suggests that simply reserving land will remove all threats to very few species — only 3 percent in fact. So the potential to share the land without giving up nature’s last wild places is much greater than once thought. Like what Kremen says, “We can spare 50 percent and share the rest.” 31. What will the sparers probably agree with? A. Relying on birds to get rid of pests. B. Protecting insects by organic farming. C. Erasing the boundaries of national parks. D. Enlarging the size of naturally growing forests. 32. Why does the author mention the coal-powered engines in Paragraph 4? A. To analyse the consequence of the industrial revolution. B. To remind us of the possible risk of intensified cropping. C. To present an example of failure in environmental protection. D. To compare agricultural intensification with wildlife-friendly farming. 33. What is mainly talked about in the passage? A. How to quiet the argument about eco-friendly farming. B. How to balance environmental protection and agriculture. C. How to tackle the challenge of preventing ecosystem breakdown. D. How to reduce environmental damage caused by mixed agriculture. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 One of the major problems for scientists lies in communicating the value of research to the general public. ____34____ In order to communicate new scientific developments effectively, universities and research institutes now try to make press releases user-friendly. These press releases are targeted to the general public, including information about risk as well as the limitations of a particular science study. The development of blogs has helped in bringing science closer to the public. Science bloggers generally focus on areas of science that they are both passionate and knowledgeable about._____35_____ And it is this that perhaps most attracts members of the public. Ed’s Popular Science, for instance, is filled with the writer’s passion and down-to-earth attitude towards science. His chatty, youthful style attracts a wide range of readers. ____36____ Early pioneers include Jacques Cousteau, whose beautifully filmed documentaries opened up the oceans to millions. This quickly realised the potential of TV to make science come alive for viewers. Other science documentary films, such as the BBC TV series Wonders of the Solar System, have eagerly followed suit. ____37____ For example, scientists are offered video services to create online presentations of their research. Nevertheless, despite this progress, communication still remains one of science’s biggest problems. Some scientists often underestimate the importance of the ability to understand and effectively use various forms of media.____38____ Perhaps it is time that universities addressed this problem, and thought about adding communications training to the curriculum. A. Television has also boosted the image of science. B. This brings science into the field of popular culture. C. They often write about science in an accessible lively manner. D. The power of visual media via the Internet has also been used. E. There is a tendency among scientists towards old-fashioned research approach. F. Consequently, public attention and support for their research may be missed out. G. Scientific organisations have come a long way in developing ways to make science more accessible to non-specialist groups. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第39、40题各2分，第41题3分，第42题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 The growth mindset is a belief system that promotes the idea that abilities and intelligence can be developed with time, effort, and devotion. These are all aspects of yourself that can grow and improve over time. According to a research, the concept of a “growth mindset” is a shift from the traditional “fixed mindset.” Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are unchangeable. This can bring about self-created barriers and limit personal growth. In contrast, people with a growth mindset welcome challenges, and believe that their potential is unlimited. They understand that intelligence and skill can be developed. Developing a growth mindset is crucial because it builds toughness, promotes learning, and fuels success. It encourages you to view challenges as opportunities, improving adaptability and problem-solving skills. Having a growth mindset can transform the way you approach challenges and setbacks, leading to higher levels of achievement and satisfaction. An important step on developing a growth mindset is to welcome challenges into your life. See each challenge as a puzzle to solve, or a game to win. It’s about shifting from “I can’t do this” to “I can’t do this, yet.” Remember, growth mindset comes from stretching your abilities, stepping out of your comfort zone, and daring to do what you once thought impossible. The next step? Redefine failure. People with a growth mindset view failure as a learning experience — a stepping stone on their path to success. So, the next time you fail, analyze what went wrong, learn from it, and use that knowledge to do better next time. Even when progress seems S slow, your effort isn’t wasted; it’s building the strength you need to achieve your goals. Realizing the value of hard work s and celebrating these efforts will strengthen the belief that abilities can be expanded with time and commitment. 39. What is the growth mindset? _________________________________________________________ 40. What is the disadvantage of “fixed mindset”? _________________________________________________________ 41. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? (About 10 words) _________________________________________________________ 42. Speaking of language learning, how will you develop your growth mindset? (About 40 words) _________________________________________________________ 第二节(20分) 43. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。下个月你校将举办主题为 Bridging Culture的活动，你们班负责介绍英国文化，你的英国朋友Jim正在北京学习。请你用英文给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1邀请参加活动； 2.希望他在活动中做些什么。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 2025.1 本试卷共10页，共100分。考试时长90分钟。考生务必将答案答在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 知识运用(共三节，36分) 第一节 完形填空(共8小题;每小题1.5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was a Monday night and I was extremely upset.

I’ve reached the top and can’t find a foothold to start back down. My heart is beating fast and my whole body is cold. I could just let go and drop to the thick, soft safety mats (垫子) below; but although I know that wouldn’t hurt, somehow it seems incredible. I am here to find out why so many people are falling in love with indoor climbing. It is reported that there are over 35 million climbers worldwide, and in the UK alone the numbers are growing by 15 — 20% a year. So, what’s the attraction? “I find it really hard not to think about work all the time,” says Paul Lennon, who has been climbing for two years. “The wall is the one place where I don’t even need to try to switch off. You just focus on what you’re doing and it’s very relaxing. There’s lots of problem-solving, working out where to put your hands and feet. The mental effort distracts you from doing much else.” Another thing that interests me, is the number of women in this activity. “It’s non-threatening, and you don’t need to be a great athlete to do it.” says 24-year-old Yasmine, who has been climbing for three years. “I don’t feel at a disadvantage, and I know some other women climbers feel like me. If a tall strong guy does the climb with a one-arm pull-up, I can do it by stretching out one of my legs and balancing on a hold. My years of gymnastics when I was at school have really helped. Although I’m short and look relatively weak compared with others, I’ve got a leg-up in other ways.” When I eventually unfreeze and make it back down to earth, I notice a nine-year-old girl. She seems much more mature in the decision making and team-working skills than I would normally expect from children of her age. Having learned that she has been to classes for about two years. I decide to have another go! 25. Reaching the top of the wall, the author feels________. A. bored B. disappointed C. depressed D. frightened 26. Paul Lennon likes wall climbing because it helps him________. A. build up his body B. find the meaning of life C. get away from work D. solve physical problems 27. According to Yasmine, what is her advantage in wall climbing? A Body flexibility. B. Teamwork spirit. C. Teaching experience. D. Professional knowledge. 【答案】25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过亲身体验室内攀岩，并采访了几位攀岩爱好者，探讨了室内攀岩的吸引力以及为什么越来越多的人，包括女性，都爱上了这项运动。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart is beating fast and my whole body is cold.(我的心跳得很快，全身发冷。)”可知，作者到达墙顶时感到害怕。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I find it really hard not to think about work all the time…The wall is the one place where I don’t even need to try to switch off. You just focus on what you’re doing and it’s very relaxing.(我发现很难一直不去想工作……攀岩墙是我唯一不需要刻意关掉工作思绪的地方。你只需要专注于你正在做的事情，这非常放松。)”可知，Paul Lennon喜欢攀岩是因为它能帮助他远离工作，放松自己。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Although I’m short and look relatively weak compared with others, I’ve got a leg-up in other ways.(虽然我个子矮，看起来比别人相对弱一些，但我在其他方面有优势。)”和“I can do it by stretching out one of my legs and balancing on a hold. My years of gymnastics when I was at school have really helped.(我可以通过伸出一条腿，在一个支点上保持平衡来做到这一点。我在学校多年的体操训练真的很有帮助。)”可知，Yasmine认为她在攀岩中的优势是身体灵活性。故选A。 C It’s true that there’s something pleasant and trustworthy about a smile — but this can be misleading. Dig a little deeper and you will find that the smile is actually one of the biggest fakes going. We all put on a smile now and again to comfort our fellow humans and avoid unnecessary conflict. We all suppose, however, that a genuine (真诚的) smile of true enjoyment is something very different. In fact, it has been given a name: the Duchenne smile. This smile uses the muscles around the eyes to lift the cheeks, producing wrinkles around the eyes, and has long been held as an inimitable(不可仿效的) sign of true human emotion. Or at least it was until 2013, when researchers from Boston destroyed that saying. In their study, one group of volunteers were asked to reproduce smiles shown in photographs, and another group to evaluate whether the first group’s smiles were genuine Some of the photographs showed mouth-only smiles, but others showed smiles using both mouth and eye-muscles. Two-thirds of individuals turned out to be able to fake a supposedly genuine smile, and they were also able to do this well in their everyday lives. These findings indicate that even the supposedly genuine Duchenne smile can be convincingly simulated. So much for smiling being an inimitable sign of true human emotion. But why are some people so good at this kind of simulation? The answer isn’t necessarily evil or harmful. In fact, more researches have demonstrated that you can actually smile yourself into a better mood. Fake or not, putting on a Duchenne smile may be just the medicine to fight against physical and mental difficulties. The smile, then, can be a false friend. People smile — or not — for all kinds of reasons beyond simply how happy they are feeling. But, as the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them. Next time you’re having your photograph taken, don’t say “cheese”; say “cheeks”. Saying “cheeks” will not only shape your mouth nicely, but will also remind you to squeeze your cheeks upwards into a visually satisfying, genuine-looking Duchenne smile. 28. The Boston researchers’ study proves that ________. A. smiles don’t help with communication B. not all genuine-looking smiles show true enjoyment C. the Duchenne smile can’t be replaced by other expressions D. the volunteers with true smiles won’t get upset easily in daily life 29. What does the underlined word “simulated” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Adjusted. B. Spread. C. Pretended. D. Tested. 30. What is the author’s attitude toward false smiles? A Reserved. B. Hesitant. C. Accepting. D. Negative. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了微笑，尤其是杜兴式微笑的真实性与可模拟性，以及微笑在日常生活中的应用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In fact, it has been given a name: the Duchenne smile. This smile uses the muscles around the eyes to lift the cheeks, producing wrinkles around the eyes, and has long been held as an inimitable sign of true human emotion. Or at least it was until 2013, when researchers from Boston destroyed that saying.(事实上，它有一个名字：杜兴式微笑。这种微笑使用眼睛周围的肌肉来抬起脸颊，在眼睛周围产生皱纹，长期以来一直被认为是人类真实情感的不可模仿的标志。或者至少直到2013年，波士顿的研究人员打破了这种说法。)”和第三段“Two-thirds of individuals turned out to be able to fake a supposedly genuine smile, and they were also able to do this well in their everyday lives.(三分之二的人能够假装出一个所谓的真诚的微笑，他们在日常生活中也能做得很好。)”可知，波士顿研究人员的研究表明，并非所有看起来真诚的微笑都表示真正的快乐，有些人可以假装出杜兴式微笑。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Two-thirds of individuals turned out to be able to fake a supposedly genuine smile, and they were also able to do this well in their everyday lives.(结果显示，三分之二的人能够装出看似真诚的微笑，而且他们在日常生活中也能做得很好。)”可知，三分之二的人能够假装出一个所谓的真诚的微笑，即使是所谓的真诚的杜兴式微笑也可以被令人信服地假装，由此可推测出simulated在此处意为“假装”，即人们可以假装出杜兴式微笑；划线词“simulated”与Pretended意思一致。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“People smile — or not — for all kinds of reasons beyond simply how happy they are feeling. But, as the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them.(人们微笑或不微笑有各种各样的原因，而不仅仅是因为他们感觉有多快乐。但是，俗话说，如果你不能打败他们，就加入他们吧。)”可知，作者认为假笑在某些情况下是可以接受的，甚至可以利用它来改善心情或应对某些情况，所以作者对假笑持接受的态度。故选C。 D It is one of the biggest questions in environmental protection: Should we be sharing our landscapes with nature by restoring small woodlands and adopting small-size eco-friendly farming? Or should we instead be sparing large areas of land for nature — by creating more national parks and industrializing agriculture on existing farmland? The argument between ‘sparing’ and ‘sharing’ began decades ago. Leading today’s argument for the sparers is the researcher Beniamin Phalan, who believes that by producing more food per unit of farm area, more land would be available for wildlife. He looked at the relationship between crop yields and the number of bird and tree species in the forests in Africa and Asia, and found that biodiversity did best where intensified cropping left space for unfarmed habitats He concluded that “most species will have larger populations if food is produced on as small an area as possible, while sparing as large an area of nature as possible.” Game over? Not so fast. A leading supporter of wildlife-friendly farming, Claire Kremen of the University of California Berkeley, has come out fighting. She says that Phalan’s findings “don’t assess the long-term consequences of isolating (孤立) species in protected areas.” Her research shows that “even very large protected areas will lose species if they remain isolated over time.” So in the long run, sparing won’t spare more land for nature conservation or feed the world for ever. To avoid mass extinction and ecosystem breakdown, we must integrate biodiversity protection into the landscape we use. So, sparing or sharing? In fact, agricultural intensification won’t deliver more land for nature unless there are tough rules to protect land not yet farmed. In the 19th century, more efficient coal-powered engines did not reduce coal burning but massively increased it by kick-starting the industrial revolution. Following that example, the result of agricultural intensification will probably be more land to be farmed. Nature does not recognize the boundaries of national parks. Whether migrating elephants in Kenya or monarch butterflies in North America, much nature exists in human-made agricultural landscapes. Recent research suggests that simply reserving land will remove all threats to very few species — only 3 percent in fact. So the potential to share the land without giving up nature’s last wild places is much greater than once thought. Like what Kremen says, “We can spare 50 percent and share the rest.” 31. What will the sparers probably agree with? A. Relying on birds to get rid of pests. B. Protecting insects by organic farming. C. Erasing the boundaries of national parks. D. Enlarging the size of naturally growing forests. 32. Why does the author mention the coal-powered engines in Paragraph 4? A. To analyse the consequence of the industrial revolution. B. To remind us of the possible risk of intensified cropping. C. To present an example of failure in environmental protection. D. To compare agricultural intensification with wildlife-friendly farming. 33. What is mainly talked about in the passage? A. How to quiet the argument about eco-friendly farming. B. How to balance environmental protection and agriculture. C. How to tackle the challenge of preventing ecosystem breakdown. D. How to reduce environmental damage caused by mixed agriculture. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讨论了关于环境保护和农业发展的两种策略：“保留”和“共享”，并探讨了如何在两者之间找到平衡。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Leading today’s argument for the sparers is the researcher Beniamin Phalan, who believes that by producing more food per unit of farm area, more land would be available for wildlife.(如今，保留派的主要代表是研究人员Beniamin Phalan，他认为，通过提高单位农田面积的食物产量，可以为野生动物腾出更多的土地。)”可知，保留派可能会同意扩大自然生长森林的面积，为野生动物提供更多的栖息地。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In fact, agricultural intensification won’t deliver more land for nature unless there are tough rules to protect land not yet farmed. In the 19th century, more efficient coal-powered engines did not reduce coal burning but massively increased it by kick-starting the industrial revolution.(事实上，农业集约化不会为自然提供更多的土地，除非有严格的规定来保护尚未耕种的土地。19世纪，更高效的煤动力发动机并没有减少煤炭燃烧，反而通过引发工业革命而大规模增加了煤炭燃烧。)”可知，作者提到煤动力发动机是为了提醒我们集约化耕作可能带来的风险，农业集约化在没有严格规则保护未开发的土地的情况下可能导致更大面积土地被开发和利用，即可能会像工业革命时期一样，导致对土地资源的过度开发和利用。故选B。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is one of the biggest questions in environmental protection: Should we be sharing our landscapes with nature by restoring small woodlands and adopting small-size eco-friendly farming? Or should we instead be sparing large areas of land for nature — by creating more national parks and industrializing agriculture on existing farmland?(这是环境保护中最大的问题之一：我们应该通过恢复小林地和采用小型环保农业来与自然共享我们的景观吗？或者，我们应该通过创建更多的国家公园和在现有农田上实现农业工业化，为自然保留大片土地吗？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了如何平衡环境保护和农业的问题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 One of the major problems for scientists lies in communicating the value of research to the general public. ____34____ In order to communicate new scientific developments effectively, universities and research institutes now try to make press releases user-friendly. These press releases are targeted to the general public, including information about risk as well as the limitations of a particular science study. The development of blogs has helped in bringing science closer to the public. Science bloggers generally focus on areas of science that they are both passionate and knowledgeable about._____35_____ And it is this that perhaps most attracts members of the public. Ed’s Popular Science, for instance, is filled with the writer’s passion and down-to-earth attitude towards science. His chatty, youthful style attracts a wide range of readers. ____36____ Early pioneers include Jacques Cousteau, whose beautifully filmed documentaries opened up the oceans to millions. This quickly realised the potential of TV to make science come alive for viewers. Other science documentary films, such as the BBC TV series Wonders of the Solar System, have eagerly followed suit. ____37____ For example, scientists are offered video services to create online presentations of their research. Nevertheless, despite this progress, communication still remains one of science’s biggest problems. Some scientists often underestimate the importance of the ability to understand and effectively use various forms of media.____38____ Perhaps it is time that universities addressed this problem, and thought about adding communications training to the curriculum. A. Television has also boosted the image of science. B. This brings science into the field of popular culture. C. They often write about science in an accessible, lively manner. D. The power of visual media via the Internet has also been used. E. There is a tendency among scientists towards old-fashioned research approach. F. Consequently, public attention and support for their research may be missed out. G. Scientific organisations have come a long way in developing ways to make science more accessible to non-specialist groups. 【答案】34. G 35. C 36. A 37. D 38.

(一些科学家常常低估了理解和有效使用各种形式媒体的能力的重要性。)”说明一些科学家不能有效使用各种形式媒体，选项“F.因此，公众对他们的研究的关注和支持可能会被错过。”和上文之间是因果关系，这样就造成公众对研究的关注和支持的错过。故选F项。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第39、40题各2分，第41题3分，第42题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 The growth mindset is a belief system that promotes the idea that abilities and intelligence can be developed with time, effort, and devotion. These are all aspects of yourself that can grow and improve over time. According to a research, the concept of a “growth mindset” is a shift from the traditional “fixed mindset.” Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are unchangeable. This can bring about self-created barriers and limit personal growth. In contrast, people with a growth mindset welcome challenges, and believe that their potential is unlimited. They understand that intelligence and skill can be developed. Developing a growth mindset is crucial because it builds toughness, promotes learning, and fuels success. It encourages you to view challenges as opportunities, improving adaptability and problem-solving skills. Having a growth mindset can transform the way you approach challenges and setbacks, leading to higher levels of achievement and satisfaction. An important step on developing a growth mindset is to welcome challenges into your life. See each challenge as a puzzle to solve, or a game to win. It’s about shifting from “I can’t do this” to “I can’t do this, yet.” Remember, growth mindset comes from stretching your abilities, stepping out of your comfort zone, and daring to do what you once thought impossible. The next step? Redefine failure. People with a growth mindset view failure as a learning experience — a stepping stone on their path to success. So, the next time you fail, analyze what went wrong, learn from it, and use that knowledge to do better next time. Even when progress seems S slow, your effort isn’t wasted; it’s building the strength you need to achieve your goals. Realizing the value of hard work s and celebrating these efforts will strengthen the belief that abilities can be expanded with time and commitment. 39. What is the growth mindset? _________________________________________________________ 40. What is the disadvantage of “fixed mindset”? _________________________________________________________ 41. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? (About 10 words) _________________________________________________________ 42. Speaking of language learning, how will you develop your growth mindset? (About 40 words) _________________________________________________________ 【答案】39. It is a belief system that promotes the idea that abilities and intelligence can be developed with time, effort, and devotion. 40. It can bring about self-created barriers and limit personal growth. 41. The benefits that having a growth mindset brings./ The importance of having a growth mindset. 42. We should welcome challenges and believe that our potential is infinite. We should view challenges as opportunities and enhance our adaptability and problem-solving skills. We are not afraid of setbacks and failures, thus achieving higher levels of achievement and satisfaction. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成长型思维的优势以及怎样培养成长型心态。 【39题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“The growth mindset is a belief system that promotes the idea that abilities and intelligence can be developed with time, effort, and devotion. These are all aspects of yourself that can grow and improve over time.(成长型思维是一种信仰体系，它提倡能力和智力可以通过时间、努力和投入来发展。随着时间的推移，这些都是你可以成长和提高的方面。)”可知，成长型思维是一种信仰体系，提倡能力和智力可以通过时间、努力和奉献来发展。故答案为It is a belief system that promotes the idea that abilities and intelligence can be developed with time, effort, and devotion. 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are unchangeable.

I know you are passionate about your country’s customs and traditions. If you can come sometime during the event, would you give a presentation on a topic related to British culture? I believe your vivid introduction will definitely bridge the culture between China and your homeland! Looking forward to your early reply and hoping to see you at the event!
