B Peter Kline is the founder of Marathons with Meaning, a program dedicated to making running more accessible for people with disabilities. Kline didn’t begin running until later in life. “I was overweight,52, and I’d never done it,” he says. He tried a 10K and loved it so much that he was hooked. But it wasn’t without a lot of training and a lot of pain: “I tried a marathon, and I did horrible. It was the most miserable, painful experience I ever had. It took me three years to qualify for Boston Marathon.” Eight years later, the idea for Marathons with Meaning was sparked when Kline met a young woman whose spinal column (脊柱) was crushed after an accident. He saw how hard it was for her to manage the world with this disability. At that time, Kline was getting tired of being a stand-alone athlete. “Running is very much an individualistic sport,” he says. “So, I thought,’ Why don’t I try to include somebody else and take them along? “He contacted a children’s hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and soon he was including rider-athletes in his marathons. And the rest is history. Kline has now been running with rider-athletes for 12 years in marathons all over the world. “The kids love it, and it changes their lives. It changes their parents’ lives, and it changes the other runners. Everybody is empowered by it,” he says. Some rider-athletes are very sick, some are nonverbal, and some are physically disabled but very sharp mentally. For example, one young woman rider-athlete can’t use her arms or legs but she has a Ph.D.in marine biology and speaks three languages. “I never judge the disability or the person’s ability,” Kline says. “They’re amazing, and they inspire us.” What advice would Kline give others? Reach out. Don’t look the other way when you see someone not as well off. If you don’t know how to love unconditionally, then you’ll never understand love. 4. What is the main focus of Marathons with Meaning? A. Training runners for marathons. B. Organizing global marathon events. C. Boosting individual athletic success. D. Making running available to the disabled. 5. What inspired Peter Kline to start Marathons with Meaning? A. His own love for running. B. The encounter with a young disabled woman. C. His desire to get connected. D. The advice from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. 6. How does Marathons with Meaning influence the rider-athletes? A. It enhances their inner power. B. It fuels their competitive spirit. C. It teaches them to value abilities. D. It makes them more sharp-minded. 7. What is the key message of Kline’s advice? A. Treat everyone equally. B. Aim higher to inspire others. C. Connect and assist those in need. D. Understand love before offering help. C Imagine a herd of 100 life-sized elephant sculptures, each crafted by native Indian craftsmen, traveling around the world. This is The Great Elephant Migration — a campaign that uses a unique combination of art, conservation and cultural heritage to raise awareness about wildlife protection and the importance of living in harmony with nature. By transforming public spaces with these striking sculptures,The Great Elephant Migration aims to inspire a global movement to protect endangered species and promote sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife. Each elephant in the migration is a perfect replica (复制品) crafted by The Coexistence Collective, a community of 200 native Indian craftsmen from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Over the past five years, this collective has beautifully brought to life every elephant they live alongside, capturing each one in sculptural detail. The sculptures are made from Lantana camara, an invasive plant species causing significant ecological damage in India. By using this material, the project not only transforms a problem into art but also helps in the large-scale removal of Lantana from protected areas, freeing up more space for wildlife and contributing to forest restoration. The migration began its march in the US on July 4, 2024, and is set to cover several locations across North America and conclude in Los Angeles, California, in September 2025. At each stop, the herd transforms public spaces, inviting local communities and visitors to engage with the sculptures and the stories they represent. The migration serves as a poignant metaphor for the real-life migrations of animals, which are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change. The Great Elephant Migration is more than a visual sight; it’s a call to action.Funds raised through the sale of the elephant sculptures will support conservation projects around the world, particularly those promoting coexistence with wildlife. 8. What’s the aim of The Great Elephant Migration? A. To introduce Indian craftsmanship globally. B. To highlight the threats faced by Asian elephants. C. To promote a global wildlife conservation initiative. D. To advocate art as a universal language of wildlife protection. 9. What does the underlined “a problem” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The decline of the population of elephants. B. The damage caused by invasive plant species. C. The limited space available for animal habitats. D. The lack of awareness about wildlife conservation. 10. How do local communities get involved in the campaign during the tour? A. By donating to fund wildlife protection. B By creating elephant sculptures in person. C. By learning about real-life animal migrations. D. By exploring conservation stories behind sculptures 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Elephants Marching Across the U. S. B. Lantana Elephants: A Visual Treat C. Making an Impact through Conservation D. A Moving Celebration of Coexistence and Conservation D In October 2020, the United Nations Global Biodiversity Outlook announced that no government had met a single target to stop biodiversity loss in the last decade. Examples include rising deforestation and declining bee populations. To succeed in conserving biodiversity, we must first expand our understanding of biodiversity. Biodiversity conversations tend to focus on certain plants and animals while ignoring others. People often regard trees and bees as the foundation of nature. For conservation campaigns, it pays —literally — to be a large mammal that people can easily identify with or a species that seems directly useful to humans. We also try to protect species with obvious commercial interest, such as tuna and the honeybee. Viewing biodiversity too narrowly does more harm than good. Many species are too small, too few, too ugly, or still undiscovered for us to notice them. Let’s not make these the reasons why they are overlooked. Pollinators (传粉者) are an essential part of biodiversity: Up to 90%of plants rely on animals for pollination, with bees often springing to mind. Yet, pollinators are much more than bees. There are about 20, 000 species of bees out of 350, 000 known pollinators. In Europe, honeybees are important for crops production. However, in warmer climates, plants like the fig tree rely on specific wasps and moths (飞蛾) for pollination. If we consider the most important pollinator in terms of pollinator diversity, moths and butterflies, with more than 140, 000 species, win the title. But we shouldn’t be asking which are the most important, or the most numerous. No single pollinator can get the job done. We need a variety of pollinators to support our ecosystems. Taking a narrow view of biodiversity hides nature’s true wonder. Instead, we should appreciate species not through a human-centered lens, but rather as equally cynical parts of incredible, complex and life-giving systems. All species deserve recognition. It is only then that we will be able to safeguard nature. 12. Which can best explain the underlined “pays” in paragraph 2? A. Brings advantage. B. Benefits nature. C. Makes profits. D. Faces risks. 13. Why are moths and butterflies mentioned? A. To stress their role in pollination. B. To highlight their beauty and diversity. C. To show their superior importance over bees. D. To prove biodiversity goes beyond mere quantity. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Biodiversity serves as the foundation of nature. B. All species play an essential role in ecosystems. C. A human-centered view leads to biodiversity loss. D. Identifying all species is the key to protecting nature. 15. What is main idea of the text? A. Endangered species call for conservation efforts. B. A broader view of biodiversity conservation is needed. C Human activities are the primary causes of biodiversity loss. D. Governments struggle to meet biodiversity conservation targets. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your brain is always on. It works hard 24/7, even while you are asleep. This means your brain requires a constant supply of fuel. ____16____ And what’s in that fuel makes all the difference. How do the foods you eat affect your mental health? Serotonin (血清素) is a chemical in your body that helps regulate sleep and appetite, manage moods and reduce pain. About 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gut (消化道), and your gut is lined with a hundred million nerve cells.____17____ What’s more, the function of these nerve cells and the production of neurotransmitters are greatly influenced by the billions of “good” bacteria (细菌) in your gut. ___18___ They ensure a strong barrier against harmful substance and “bad” bacteria; they improve how well you absorb nutrients from your food; and they activate neural pathways that travel directly between the gut and the brain. Studies have compared “traditional” diets like the traditional Japanese diet, to a typical “Western” diet and have shown that the risk of depression is 25% to 35% lower in those who eat a traditional diet.____19____ Traditional diets tend to be high in vegetables, fruits, unprocessed grains, and fish and seafood, and to contain only modest amounts of lean meats and dairy. Furthermore, these diets lack processed foods and sugars, which are key components of the “Western” diet. In addition, many of these unprocessed foods are fermented (发酵), making them natural good bacteria. So, what does this mean to you? ____20____ Try keeping a “clean” diet for two to three weeks, which means cutting out all processed foods and sugars, and see how you feel.Then slowly introduce foods back into your diet, one by one, and see how you feel. When some people “go clean,” they can’t believe how much better they feel, both physically and emotionally. A. Scientists account for this difference. B. That “fuel” comes from the foods you eat. C. These bacteria play an essential role in your health. D. Start paying attention to how eating different foods makes you feel. E. In contrast, diets high in refined sugars have been found harmful to brain health. F. So your digestive system not only aids digestion but also influences your emotions. G. Like an expensive car, your brain functions best when it gets only high-quality fuel. 第三部分语言知识运用(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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When you’re at high school,the littlest things can feel like a pretty big deal.Say,missing a deadline,or failing an exam.

By the early 1970s, however, they realized the Earth’s rotation was slightly ____36____ (slow) than atomic time by about 2.5 milliseconds daily.

The driver asked me to fasten the kid’s safety belt after I already had. His half-violent attitude made me uncomfortable. Lev was almost 4 then. Unlike me, he cared less about the driver and focused mainly on the scenery along the way. He sang quietly to himself with his short legs waving in the air. At one point, his right sandal (凉鞋) hit the taxi’s plastic ashtray, knocking it over onto the floor. It was empty; nothing spilled. I had already bent to pick it up when the driver stopped the car suddenly, turned around to us and, with his face really close to my son’s face, began screaming. “You stupid kid. You broke my car!” “Hey, are you crazy or something?” I shouted at the driver. “Yelling (大喊) at a 3-year-old because of a piece of plastic? Turn around and start driving, or I swear, next week you will not be driving any public vehicle, you hearme?” When I saw that he was about to say something, I added,“Shut yourmouth now and drive!” The driver gave me a hateful look. I could sense he was weighing the choice between hitting me in the face and losing hisjob. After a long moment’s silence, he took a deep breath, turned around, and drove on. On the taxi’s radio, somebody was singing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” but I felt very far from happy. I looked at Lev and tried to find another ray of light in that unpleasant ride, but I couldn’t. I smiled at Lev and held his hand. He looked at me hard, but didn’t smile back. “Daddy,” he asked, “what did the man say?” “The man said,” I answered quickly, as if it were nothing, “that when you’re riding in a car, you have to watch how you move your legs so you don’t break anything.” Lev nodded, looked out the window and a second later asked, “And what did you say to the man?” “Me?” I said to Lev, trying to gain a little time. “I told the man that he was right, but that he should say quietly and politely,and not yell.” 注意 ： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “But you yelled at him,” Lev said,confused. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The driver the car and turned around. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年上学期期末检测高三英语 本试卷共10页。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、座号、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 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。 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.

Kline didn’t begin running until later in life. “I was overweight,52, and I’d never done it,” he says. He tried a 10K and loved it so much that he was hooked. But it wasn’t without a lot of training and a lot of pain: “I tried a marathon, and I did horrible. It was the most miserable, painful experience I ever had. It took me three years to qualify for Boston Marathon.” Eight years later, the idea for Marathons with Meaning was sparked when Kline met a young woman whose spinal column (脊柱) was crushed after an accident. He saw how hard it was for her to manage the world with this disability. At that time, Kline was getting tired of being a stand-alone athlete. “Running is very much an individualistic sport,” he says. “So, I thought,’ Why don’t I try to include somebody else and take them along? “He contacted a children’s hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and soon he was including rider-athletes in his marathons. And the rest is history. Kline has now been running with rider-athletes for 12 years in marathons all over the world. “The kids love it, and it changes their lives. It changes their parents’ lives, and it changes the other runners. Everybody is empowered by it,” he says. Some rider-athletes are very sick, some are nonverbal, and some are physically disabled but very sharp mentally. For example, one young woman rider-athlete can’t use her arms or legs but she has a Ph.D.in marine biology and speaks three languages. “I never judge the disability or the person’s ability,” Kline says. “They’re amazing, and they inspire us.” What advice would Kline give others? Reach out. Don’t look the other way when you see someone not as well off. If you don’t know how to love unconditionally, then you’ll never understand love. 4. What is the main focus of Marathons with Meaning? A. Training runners for marathons. B. Organizing global marathon events. C. Boosting individual athletic success. D. Making running available to the disabled. 5. What inspired Peter Kline to start Marathons with Meaning? A. His own love for running. B. The encounter with a young disabled woman. C. His desire to get connected. D. The advice from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. 6. How does Marathons with Meaning influence the rider-athletes? A. It enhances their inner power. B. It fuels their competitive spirit. C. It teaches them to value abilities. D. It makes them more sharp-minded. 7. What is the key message of Kline’s advice? A. Treat everyone equally. B. Aim higher to inspire others. C. Connect and assist those in need. D. Understand love before offering help. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Peter Kline创立了“有意义的马拉松”，致力于让残疾人更容易跑步。讲述了他创立这一项目的起因经过以及这一项目给其他残疾运动员带来的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Peter Kline is the founder of Marathons with Meaning, a program dedicated to making running more accessible for people with disabilities.(Peter Kline是“有意义的马拉松”的创始人，该项目致力于让残疾人更容易跑步)”可知，Marathons with Meaning的主要关注点是使跑步对残疾人来说成为可能。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Eight years later, the idea for Marathons with Meaning was sparked when Kline met a young woman whose spinal column (脊柱) was crushed after an accident.(八年后，克莱恩遇到了一位脊柱在事故中被压碎的年轻女子，萌生了举办“有意义的马拉松”的想法)”可知，是遇到了一位年轻的残疾女性激发了Peter Kline创办Marathons with Meaning。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中““The kids love it, and it changes their lives. It changes their parents’ lives, and it changes the other runners. Everybody is empowered by it,” he says.(“孩子们喜欢它，它改变了他们的生活。它改变了他们父母的生活，也改变了其他选手。每个人都被赋予了力量，”他说)”可知，Marathons with Meaning增强了运动员的内在力量，从而影响了运动员。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What advice would Kline give others? Reach out. Don’t look the other way when you see someone not as well off.

This is The Great Elephant Migration — a campaign that uses a unique combination of art, conservation and cultural heritage to raise awareness about wildlife protection and the importance of living in harmony with nature. By transforming public spaces with these striking sculptures,The Great Elephant Migration aims to inspire a global movement to protect endangered species and promote sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife. Each elephant in the migration is a perfect replica (复制品) crafted by The Coexistence Collective, a community of 200 native Indian craftsmen from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Over the past five years, this collective has beautifully brought to life every elephant they live alongside, capturing each one in sculptural detail. The sculptures are made from Lantana camara, an invasive plant species causing significant ecological damage in India. By using this material, the project not only transforms a problem into art but also helps in the large-scale removal of Lantana from protected areas, freeing up more space for wildlife and contributing to forest restoration. The migration began its march in the US on July 4, 2024, and is set to cover several locations across North America and conclude in Los Angeles, California, in September 2025. At each stop, the herd transforms public spaces, inviting local communities and visitors to engage with the sculptures and the stories they represent. The migration serves as a poignant metaphor for the real-life migrations of animals, which are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change. The Great Elephant Migration is more than a visual sight; it’s a call to action.Funds raised through the sale of the elephant sculptures will support conservation projects around the world, particularly those promoting coexistence with wildlife. 8. What’s the aim of The Great Elephant Migration? A. To introduce Indian craftsmanship globally. B. To highlight the threats faced by Asian elephants. C. To promote a global wildlife conservation initiative. D. To advocate art as a universal language of wildlife protection. 9. What does the underlined “a problem” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The decline of the population of elephants. B. The damage caused by invasive plant species. C. The limited space available for animal habitats. D. The lack of awareness about wildlife conservation. 10. How do local communities get involved in the campaign during the tour? A. By donating to fund wildlife protection. B. By creating elephant sculptures in person. C. By learning about real-life animal migrations. D. By exploring conservation stories behind sculptures 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Elephants Marching Across the U. S. B. Lantana Elephants: A Visual Treat C. Making an Impact through Conservation D. A Moving Celebration of Coexistence and Conservation 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了“大象大迁徙”艺术活动。该活动通过一群由印度工匠制作的100只大象雕塑环游世界，结合艺术、保护和文化遗产，提高人们对野生动物保护和与自然和谐共处重要性的认识。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“This is The Great Elephant Migration — a campaign that uses a unique combination of art, conservation and cultural heritage to raise awareness about wildlife protection and the importance of living in harmony with nature. (这是“大象大迁徙”——一项将艺术、保护和文化遗产独特结合起来的活动，旨在提高人们对野生动物保护和与自然和谐共生重要性的认识。)”可知，“大象大迁徙”活动的目的是推广全球野生动物保护倡议。因此，选项C“To promote a global wildlife conservation initiative.(推广全球野生动物保护倡议)”符合题意。故选C。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The sculptures are made from Lantana camara, an invasive plant species causing significant ecological damage in India.(这些雕塑是由紫茎泽兰制成的，紫茎泽兰是一种在印度造成重大生态破坏的入侵植物。)”可知，此处指出紫茎泽兰是一种在印度造成重大生态破坏的入侵植物。同时根据划线词所在的句子“By using this material,the project not only transforms a problem into art but also helps in the large-scale removal of Lantana from protected areas, freeing up more space for wildlife and contributing to forest restoration.( 通过使用这种材料，该项目不仅将问题转化为艺术，而且有助于从保护区大规模移除紫茎泽兰，为野生动物腾出更多空间，并有助于森林恢复。)”可知，此处的a problem指的是“由入侵植物物种造成的破坏”。因此，选项B“The damage caused by invasive plant species.(由入侵植物物种造成的破坏)”符合题意。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“At each stop, the herd transforms public spaces, inviting local communities and visitors to engage with the sculptures and the stories they represent. (在每个停留点，这群大象都会改变公共空间，邀请当地社区和游客与雕塑和它们所代表的故事互动。)”可知，当地社区在活动期间通过与雕塑背后保护故事进行互动来参与其中。因此，选项D“By exploring conservation stories behind sculptures(通过探索雕塑背后的保护故事)”符合题意。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，特别是第一段中的“This is The Great Elephant Migration—a campaign that uses a unique combination of art, conservation and cultural heritage to raise awareness about wildlife protection and the importance of living in harmony with nature.(这是“大象大迁徙”——一项将艺术、保护和文化遗产独特结合起来的活动，旨在提高人们对野生动物保护和与自然和谐共生重要性的认识。)”以及最后一段中的“The Great Elephant Migration is more than a visual sight; it’s a call to action.(“大象大迁徙”不仅仅是一场视觉盛宴；它是一个行动号召。)”可知，文章主要介绍了“大象大迁徙”活动，该活动通过艺术雕塑呼吁人们关注野生动物保护和与自然和谐共生。因此，选项D“A Moving Celebration of Coexistence and Conservation(共存与保护的动人庆典)”最符合文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选D。 D In October 2020, the United Nations Global Biodiversity Outlook announced that no government had met a single target to stop biodiversity loss in the last decade. Examples include rising deforestation and declining bee populations. To succeed in conserving biodiversity, we must first expand our understanding of biodiversity. Biodiversity conversations tend to focus on certain plants and animals while ignoring others. People often regard trees and bees as the foundation of nature. For conservation campaigns, it pays —literally — to be a large mammal that people can easily identify with or a species that seems directly useful to humans. We also try to protect species with obvious commercial interest, such as tuna and the honeybee. Viewing biodiversity too narrowly does more harm than good. Many species are too small, too few, too ugly, or still undiscovered for us to notice them. Let’s not make these the reasons why they are overlooked. Pollinators (传粉者) are an essential part of biodiversity: Up to 90%of plants rely on animals for pollination, with bees often springing to mind. Yet, pollinators are much more than bees. There are about 20, 000 species of bees out of 350, 000 known pollinators. In Europe, honeybees are important for crops production. However, in warmer climates, plants like the fig tree rely on specific wasps and moths (飞蛾) for pollination. If we consider the most important pollinator in terms of pollinator diversity, moths and butterflies, with more than 140, 000 species, win the title. But we shouldn’t be asking which are the most important, or the most numerous. No single pollinator can get the job done. We need a variety of pollinators to support our ecosystems. Taking a narrow view of biodiversity hides nature’s true wonder. Instead, we should appreciate species not through a human-centered lens, but rather as equally cynical parts of incredible, complex and life-giving systems. All species deserve recognition. It is only then that we will be able to safeguard nature. 12. Which can best explain the underlined “pays” in paragraph 2? A. Brings advantage. B. Benefits nature. C. Makes profits. D. Faces risks. 13. Why are moths and butterflies mentioned? A. To stress their role in pollination. B. To highlight their beauty and diversity. C To show their superior importance over bees. D. To prove biodiversity goes beyond mere quantity. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Biodiversity serves as the foundation of nature. B. All species play an essential role in ecosystems. C. A human-centered view leads to biodiversity loss. D. Identifying all species is the key to protecting nature. 15. What is main idea of the text? A. Endangered species call for conservation efforts. B. A broader view of biodiversity conservation is needed. C. Human activities are the primary causes of biodiversity loss. D. Governments struggle to meet biodiversity conservation targets. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例说明了生物多样性中传粉者的重要性，并指出不应仅从人类中心主义的角度看待物种，而应认识到所有物种都是生态系统中不可或缺的部分，呼吁人们以更广阔的视角看待和保护生物多样性。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“For conservation campaigns, it pays —literally — to be a large mammal that people can easily identify with or a species that seems directly useful to humans. We also try to protect species with obvious commercial interest, such as tuna and the honeybee.( 对于保护运动来说，成为一种人们很容易识别的大型哺乳动物，或者是一种似乎对人类直接有用的物种，是……的。我们还要努力保护具有明显商业利益的物种，如金枪鱼和蜜蜂)”可知，对于保护运动来说，从字面上讲，成为一个人们容易认同的大型哺乳动物，或者一个对人类似乎有直接用处的物种，是“值得的”。我们还要努力保护那些具有明显商业利益的物种，如金枪鱼和蜜蜂。划线词后的破折号表示解释说明，从后文可知此处指的是“有好处，有优势”，A项“Brings advantage(带来优势)”，符合题意。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“ If we consider the most important pollinator in terms of pollinator diversity, moths and butterflies, with more than 140, 000 species, win the title. But we shouldn’t be asking which are the most important, or the most numerous. No single pollinator can get the job done. We need a variety of pollinators to support our ecosystems.(如果从传粉者多样性的角度来考虑最重要的传粉者，那么拥有 14 万多种的蛾类和蝴蝶将摘得桂冠。但我们不应该问哪种传粉者最重要，或者哪种数量最多。没有哪一种传粉者可以独自完成传粉工作。我们需要多种多样的传粉者来支撑我们的生态系统。)”可知，没有单一的传粉者能完成传粉这项工作。我们需要各种各样的传粉者来支持我们的生态系统，此处提到蛾子和蝴蝶是为了强调它们在传粉中的作用。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Taking a narrow view of biodiversity hides nature’s true wonder. Instead, we should appreciate species not through a human-centered lens, but rather as equally cynical parts of incredible, complex and life-giving systems. All species deserve recognition. It is only then that we will be able to safeguard nature.( 狭隘地看待生物多样性掩盖了自然界的真正奇妙之处。相反，我们应该从非人类中心的角度去欣赏物种，而是把它们视为令人难以置信的、复杂的、赋予生命的系统中同样重要的组成部分。所有物种都应该得到认可。只有这样，我们才能保护自然。)”可知，我们不应仅从人类中心主义的角度看待物种，而应认识到所有物种都是生态系统中不可或缺的部分，呼吁人们以更广阔的视角看待和保护生物多样性。由此可推知，所有物种在生态系统中都发挥着重要作用，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“To succeed in conserving biodiversity, we must first expand our understanding of biodiversity.( 要成功保护生物多样性，我们首先要扩大对生物多样性的理解。)”以及通读全文可知，文章说明了保护生物多样性首先要扩大对生物多样性的理解，因为狭隘地看待生物多样性不仅无益反而有害，以蜜蜂为例，传粉者远不止蜜蜂，所有物种都应该得到认可，只有这样才能保护自然，由此可知，“A broader view of biodiversity conservation is needed.(需要更广泛地看待生物多样性保护)”能够概括文章主要内容。故选B。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your brain is always on. It works hard 24/7, even while you are asleep. This means your brain requires a constant supply of fuel. ____16____ And what’s in that fuel makes all the difference. How do the foods you eat affect your mental health? Serotonin (血清素) is a chemical in your body that helps regulate sleep and appetite, manage moods and reduce pain. About 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gut (消化道), and your gut is lined with a hundred million nerve cells.____17____ What’s more, the function of these nerve cells and the production of neurotransmitters are greatly influenced by the billions of “good” bacteria (细菌) in your gut. ___18___ They ensure a strong barrier against harmful substance and “bad” bacteria; they improve how well you absorb nutrients from your food; and they activate neural pathways that travel directly between the gut and the brain. Studies have compared “traditional” diets, like the traditional Japanese diet, to a typical “Western” diet and have shown that the risk of depression is 25% to 35% lower in those who eat a traditional diet.____19____ Traditional diets tend to be high in vegetables, fruits, unprocessed grains, and fish and seafood, and to contain only modest amounts of lean meats and dairy. Furthermore, these diets lack processed foods and sugars, which are key components of the “Western” diet. In addition, many of these unprocessed foods are fermented (发酵), making them natural good bacteria. So, what does this mean to you? ____20____ Try keeping a “clean” diet for two to three weeks, which means cutting out all processed foods and sugars, and see how you feel.Then slowly introduce foods back into your diet, one by one, and see how you feel. When some people “go clean,” they can’t believe how much better they feel, both physically and emotionally. A. Scientists account for this difference. B. That “fuel” comes from the foods you eat. C. These bacteria play an essential role in your health. D Start paying attention to how eating different foods makes you feel. E. In contrast, diets high in refined sugars have been found harmful to brain health. F. So your digestive system not only aids digestion but also influences your emotions. G. Like an expensive car, your brain functions best when it gets only high-quality fuel. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. C 19. A 20.

By the early 1970s, however, they realized the Earth’s rotation was slightly ____36____ (slow) than atomic time by about 2.5 milliseconds daily. To address the shift, they added a leap second (闰秒) to UTC in 1972. Since then, 27 seconds have been added, ____37____ the most recent addition in 2016. However,the Earth’s rotation has ____38____ (unexpected) increased in speed since 2020. As a result, there are plans for a “negative leap second,” a second ____39____ (remove) from UTC, in 2026 to deal with this, a procedure never carried out previously. Recent research indicates that while the Earth’s rotation has been speeding up, climate change is slowing it down. The increased melting of polar ice caps due to global warming has redistributed mass across the world’s oceans, ____40____ potentially slows its rotation. Consequently, the adjustment to the Earth’s rotational speed might not ___41___ (need) as soon as planned.Some scientists suggest that ____42____ negative leap second scheduled for 2026 should be postponed until 2029. Nevertheless, there is still concern ____43____ some timekeeping systems are unprepared for the removal of time from the world’s official clock.After all, only time additions have been carried out since the 1970s. In the years ahead, we must find solutions ____44____ (allow) our technology to adapt to the removal of a second, _____45_____ (ensure) that it keeps pace with the ever-changing rhythms of our planet. 【答案】36. slower 37. with 38. unexpectedly 39. removed 40. which 41. be needed 42. the 43. that 44. to allow 45. ensuring 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了地球自转速度的变化及负闰秒的调整计划。 【36题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：然而，到了20世纪70年代初，他们意识到地球的自转比原子时每天慢约2.5毫秒。根据than可知，本空用形容词比较级slower“更慢的”，作表语。故填slower。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：从那时起，已经增加了27秒，最近一次是在2016年。空处表伴随，需用介词with，符合题意。故填with。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，自2020年以来，地球自转的速度意外地加快了。空处修饰动词increased，需用副词unexpectedly“意外地”，作状语。故填unexpectedly。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，计划在2026年从UTC中移除一秒，即“负闰秒”，以应对这一问题，这是以前从未进行过的一个程序。本句谓语为are，此处为非谓语动词，且a second与remove“移除”为被动关系，应用过去分词removed，作后置定语。故填removed。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：由于全球变暖，极地冰盖融化加剧，导致全球海洋质量重新分配，这可能会减缓其自转速度。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【41题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：因此，对地球自转速度的调整可能不会像计划的那样很快就需要。主语the adjustment与need“需要”之间为被动关系，用be needed表被动，位于情态动词might后，be用原形。故填be needed。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：一些科学家建议，原定于2026年的负闰秒应推迟到2029年。空处修饰名词短语negative leap second，表示特指“原定于2026年的负闰秒”，所以空处需用定冠词the。故填the。 【43题详解】 考查同位语从句。句意：然而，仍有人担心一些计时系统还没有为从世界官方时钟中移除时间做好准备。空处引导同位语从句，从句不缺少成分或含义，用that引导。故填that。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在未来几年，我们必须找到解决方案，让我们的技术适应移除一秒，确保它与我们星球不断变化的节奏保持同步。本句谓语为must find，此处为非谓语动词，用allow“允许”的不定式，作后置定语。故填to allow。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在未来几年，我们必须找到解决方案，让我们的技术适应移除一秒，确保它与我们星球不断变化的节奏保持同步。本句谓语为must find，此处为非谓语动词，ensure“确保”与其逻辑主语our technology之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词ensuring，作状语。故填ensuring。 第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，想去美国参加英语课程。请阅读下面的广告，并写封邮件咨询细节。 注意： 1.词数80左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2.不得透露学校、姓名等个人信息。 Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to find out more about the English language courses. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours faithfully, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sir or Madam I am writing to find out more about the English language courses.

The driver asked me to fasten the kid’s safety belt after I already had. His half-violent attitude made me uncomfortable. Lev was almost 4 then. Unlike me, he cared less about the driver and focused mainly on the scenery along the way. He sang quietly to himself with his short legs waving in the air. At one point, his right sandal (凉鞋) hit the taxi’s plastic ashtray, knocking it over onto the floor. It was empty; nothing spilled. I had already bent to pick it up when the driver stopped the car suddenly, turned around to us and, with his face really close to my son’s face, began screaming. “You stupid kid. You broke my car!” “Hey, are you crazy or something?” I shouted at the driver. “Yelling (大喊) at a 3-year-old because of a piece of plastic? Turn around and start driving, or I swear, next week you will not be driving any public vehicle, you hearme?” When I saw that he was about to say something, I added,“Shut yourmouth now and drive!” The driver gave me a hateful look. I could sense he was weighing the choice between hitting me in the face and losing hisjob. After a long moment’s silence, he took a deep breath, turned around, and drove on. On the taxi’s radio, somebody was singing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” but I felt very far from happy. I looked at Lev and tried to find another ray of light in that unpleasant ride, but I couldn’t. I smiled at Lev and held his hand. He looked at me hard, but didn’t smile back. “Daddy,” he asked, “what did the man say?” “The man said,” I answered quickly, as if it were nothing, “that when you’re riding in a car, you have to watch how you move your legs so you don’t break anything.” Lev nodded, looked out the window and a second later asked, “And what did you say to the man?” “Me?” I said to Lev, trying to gain a little time. “I told the man that he was right, but that he should say quietly and politely,and not yell.” 注意 ： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “But you yelled at him,” Lev said,confused. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The driver the car and turned around. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: “But you yelled at him,” Lev said, confused. I was at a loss for words, realizing my son was correct. Taking a deep breath, I said, “You’re right, Lev. I did exactly what I told him not to do. I should not have raised my voice, no matter how upset I was.” Lev looked at me thoughtfully and asked, “So why didn’t you talk quietly and politely like you told him to?” I hesitated for a moment and replied softly, “Because sometimes adults don’t handle anger well, and I will try to do better next time.”Lev gave a small nod, still unsure, but he seemed to accept my explanation. Paragraph 2: The driver stopped the car and turned around. He glanced at me briefly and then turned his head to Lev, clearly still annoyed. “I overreacted earlier,” he muttered. “Sorry, kid.” Lev looked at him, his face serious, and said, “It’s okay, but next time, talk nicely. My dad says that’s better.” The driver blinked in surprise and then nodded, starting the car again without another word. I felt a sense of relief mixed with pride. Lev had reminded both the driver and me of a gentler approach to handling conflict. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文描述了父亲和儿子Lev在乘坐出租车时，与司机之间的冲突。父亲因司机对Lev不当的喊叫感到愤怒，但后来意识到了自己也在冲动中以不适当的方式回应了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但你对他大吼大叫，”列夫困惑地说。”可知，第一段侧重于描写儿子对父亲大喊行为的疑问，以及父亲对自身行为的反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“我全速奔跑，人群冲着我大喊大叫”可知，第二段则通过司机的反应和孩子的回应展现了双方态度的转变。 2.续写线索：儿子说的话使得父亲反思——司机道歉，态度转变——父亲感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告诉：tell /inform ②处理：handle/deal with ③犹豫：hesitate/ waver ④启动：start/turn on 情绪类 ①愤怒的：annoyed/angry ②不确定的：unsure/uncertain 【点睛】[高分句型1] I did exactly what I told him not to do.
