B When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to document the coexistence of humans and wildlife,he found a story on the side of the roada group of bears begging for food.This close encounter led to incredible photographs.But it also emphasizes the 高二英语试题卷第3页（共10页） hurdles that conservationists(自然环境保护主义者)in Romania and elsewhere face in their efforts to restore and protect wild places Tourists attracted by the region's brown bears often give in to the temptation to feed them.This can have disastrous effects.Usually shy around people,it takes just a few meals to get bears hooked on human food-and,after that,they don't stay wild long.Instead,they can become dependent on humans for food,fueling more bear-human run-ins and putting bears in danger when they get too close.This region has seen a rise in bear-human conflicts. In 2023,there were 95 bear incidents,and a hiker was fatally mauled.This prompted officials to raise the annual bear kill quota.Doest also documented an attacked mother bear whose leg had been lost,forced to beg for food along the road.Bears fed by humans become "problem bears",fueling local opposition to rewilding(再野生化)projects,as more forests mean more bears. While driving on a mountain pass,Doest and his assistant realized the bears were waiting for human handouts.They had completely changed their behavior.Doest saw other examples of how tourists'handouts had changed the ecosystem.As he watched people feeding bears snacks like doughnuts,he realized the story of conservation in the region was as much about people as wildlife. "It isn't just about rewilding-it's about the opportunities and struggles rewilding brings us,"he says."It's about how to accept nature in our lives,and how we could benefit if we do it the right way." So don't feed the bears.You could save an animal's life,and a community's commitment to wildlife conservation. 24.What does the underlined word"hurdles"in paragraph I mean? A.Challenges. B.Responsibilities. C.Measures. D.Dangers. 25.What is the main reason for the increase in bear-human conflicts in the region? A.The growing number of tourists. B.The expansion of human settlements. C.The bears'dependence on human food. D.The decrease in natural food sources for bears. 26.Why do some locals oppose rewilding projects? A.They believe that rewilding will attract more tourists. B.They fear that rewilding will harm the local economy C.They think that rewilding is not effective in protecting wildlife. D.They worry that rewilding will cause more bear-human conflicts. 27.What is the author's attitude towards feeding bears? A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Neutral. D.Indifferent. C Scientists can now conduct space research on Earth as China's"ground space station"has been put into trial operation,reported Xin hua.The facility is called Space Environment Simulation and Research Infrastructure(SESRI) 高二英语试题卷第4页（共10页） SESRI simulates (conditions in space and is designed for studying basic space science. This will help scientists do experiments that they normally do in space.SESRI is jointly developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. "Space is very different from the environment on Earth and can have different effects on spacecraft.What we do here is to explore how the effects take place and why,"Li Liyi,executive deputy director of SESRI,told Guangming Daily. At the facility,there is a device that simulates the space environment from 100 kilometers away from Earth to the sun.In this area,more than99 percent of visible matter is in a plasma(等离子体) state in which gas is in a highly charged and energetic state of matter.By re-creating the environment, the device can test how plasma affects spacecraft. Also,one of the biggest problems manned space travel faces is when spacecraft enter Earth's atmosphere,they are surrounded by plasma,leading to communication blackouts ()The test center can also help solve this issue as researchers now have more opportunities to do tests. The researchers faced many challenges when building the simulation system,as connecting various parts of the device can be very complicated."We held more than 700 meetings over a connection problem alone."Jin Chenggang at the facility told Heilongjiang News. SESRI also has simulation systems for the moon and Mars,which can re-create the vacuum, extreme temperatures,and space radiation that astronauts would encounter on these space bodies.The systems will help astronauts prepare for their missions to these places in the future,reported Guangming Daily.In the future,the platform will also play an important role in areas including brain science,life and health research,and the development of high-end instruments. 28.What is the main benefit of simulating space environment? A.Supporting space research on Earth. B.Reducing the cost of space missions. C.Studying the effects of space on humans. D.Improving our understanding of black holes. 29.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The challenge of space exploration. B.The risk of experiments at the SESRI. C.The benefit of space exploration. D.The function of the device at the SESRI. 30.Why does the author quote Jin Chenggang's words? A.To share a personal story about the building process B.To show the difficulties of building the simulation system. C.To highlight the importance of preparations for the research. D.To emphasize the challenges of working with other research teams. 31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A.Space simulation may be costly. B.Space simulation raises social concerns. C.International cooperation is crucial for space simulation. D.Space simulation has great potential for future exploration. 高二英语试题卷第5页（共10页） D When preparing for a test,most students assume it's best to simply study the material and try to memorize as much of it as possible.Many tests seemingly reward rote (memorization.But what if students trained by testing themselves instead?Usually,studying is considered a safer bet; why risk producing wrong answers when you can just memorize the right one?Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time. Cognitive psychologists Henry "Roddy"Roediger and Jeff Karpicke conducted a study where they had hundreds of students memorize passages from a test-preparation book for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).One group memorized these passages by reading them repeatedly, while another group read the passages several times and then completed three tests.The results were surprising:the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better,but when they were tested again a week later,the students who tested themselves recalled over 60%of what they had learned,compared to only 40%for the group who repeatedly studied. The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions.Its value remains undoubted,but scientists are still debating why it has such a powerful effect on memory.The simplest explanation is that testing exposes our weaknesses.When we test our memories,we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal(神经元的)connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what's useful and removes what's not,making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall. To maximize the benefits of the testing effect,it's important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming()everything into a single night of intense studying.This allows your brain to consolidate the information and create stronger memories. In conclusion,testing is not just a tool for assessing your knowledge but also a powerful learning tool.By embracing errors and actively testing yourself,you can improve your learning and memory. So,instead of avoiding mistakes,embrace them as opportunities for growth and mastery. 32.What do we know about Henry and Jeff's study? A.Self-testing works only with other study methods. B.Both groups of students performed the same at first. C.Rote memorization doesn't work well in the long run. D.The study focused on using a test-preparation book for TOFEL. 33.What happens to the brain when people test their memories? A.Additional neuronal connections in the brain are created. B.The brain processes new pieces of information at a higher speed. C.The weak connections between neurons in the brain are removed. D.Weak but useful neuronal connections are exposed and strengthened. 高二英语试题卷第6页（共10页） 34.Which of the following is the effective way to study according to paragraph 4? A.Avoiding making mistakes during study. B.Cramming all the information into one night of studying. C.Reviewing the material in short sessions over several days. D.Focusing on the information that is most likely to be on the test. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Cramming for Exams:A Safer Bet for Success B.The Testing Effect:Why Practice Makes Perfect C.The Power of Testing:An Effective Approach to Learning D.The Science Behind Learning:How Our Brains Process Information 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。 Positive Thinking Quotes To Inspire Optimism We have all been given the gift that is life.36 We can choose to waste it,or we can choose to have the best life possible. 37 Some people are afraid of change,preferring to continue along in the rut (that they have dug for themselves.They are leading a wasted life because they are not making use of their full potential.They are not achieving because they are afraid of what will happen if they try.

Around the dinner table that night,my older sister Nancy and I both explained to Mom and Dad about this fitness test.But I knew I wasn't very good at running long distance,so I asked my dad how I could get better at it."What about practicing?"Dad suggested."We could go in the evenings to the track at the high school and do some training there.""Can we start tonight?"I asked excitedly. We left the house holding hands and talking.I had to almost run to keep up with my six-foot-two father's long step.Soon the high school appeared,and it seemed enormous compared to my own school building and playground.When we got there,we entered the gates onto a huge football field surrounded by an outdoor track. I told my dad that I had to run the whole way around the track,explaining that the time it took would determine whether we scored a gold,silver,bronze,or participant medal,and added that it seemed so far.Smiling,my dad suggested that we give it a try,noting that I must already be warmed up from the walk.He chose a spot on the spectator side with a long,straight stretch to run first,and set us up to start running. "On your mark,get set,GO!"he said,and I took off.Dad ran along beside me,and I was breathing hard by the time we made the first turn.About halfway around I stopped and cried out,"I'll never do it,Dad.We're not even halfway and I'm beat!""The problem is your timing.You have to learn to pace yourself if you're going to run the entire race.We'll try again,start off slowly,run more steadily through the middle section,and then dash to the finish line.Let's see how that works,"he explained as we returned to our starting place. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph I We began to run slowly,and my"coach"murmured encouragement.
