They said he was crazy. They said he would never make it. But Duane Hansen and his beautiful pumpkin, which he named Berta, proved them all wrong. Like Cinderella’s fairy godmother, this Nebraska man proved that you really can turn a pumpkin into a functional vehicle — in this case, a seaworthy vessel(船). Yes, you read that right. Hansen wanted to celebrate his 60th birthday by hollowing out his prized 846-pound pumpkin and sailing down the Missouri River inside it. Not only did Hansen enjoy a pumpkin sail on his special day, but his 38-mile journey also landed him a world record! In case you wondered, the previous world record for the longest sail in a pumpkin was 25 miles, set by a North Dakota man in 2018. It wasn’t an easy journey. Growing a pumpkin big enough to use as a boat is already a challenge. Then, there was his chosen waterway. The city of Bellevue, Nebraska, posted a photogragh of Hansen on the water that offers a reminder of just how big the Missouri River is. “He has always said that you can do anything you want and I’m just so proud” Hansen’s daughter Morgan Buchholz said. Hansen reportedly spent nearly a decade trying to grow a pumpkin big enough to work as a sailing vessel. He was inspired to begin his mission after meeting a woman who had previously won “the Biggest Pumpkin Competition”. He asked her many questions about her experience. As for his pumpkin-sailing future, “I’m done with this.” Hansen said that the voyage made his knees ache. The wake (尾流) from boats was rough, and when they passed, he said he had to stop everything and just hang on. “If somebody breaks this record, I will, like, bow down to them because they are tough,” he said. 4. Why did Hansen go on a pumpkin journey? A. To observe his birthday. B. To show his prized pumpkin. C. To break a world record. D. To prove pumpkin could be a vessel. 5. What did Hansen do to make his journey possible? A. He chose a calm waterway. B. He talked with the previous record holder. C. He convinced his family to support his plan. D. He worked a long time to grow the pumpkin. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. His knees got seriously injured in the sailing. B. His vessel turned over in the wake from boats. C. Hansen will respect whoever breaks his record. D. Hansen will continue the pumpkin-sailing in future. 7. What does Hansen’s story tell us? A. It is never too old to learn. B. Time and tide wait for no man. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Fear always springs from ignorance 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了汉森用南瓜作为工具完成了旅行，打破了记录，完成别人认为不可能的事情，生动诠释“有志者，事竟成”。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Hansen wanted to celebrate his 60th birthday by hollowing out his prized 846-pound pumpkin and sailing down the Missouri River inside it.( 汉森为了庆祝他的60岁生日，他掏空了他珍贵的846磅重的南瓜，然后沿着密苏里河流而下。)”可知，汉森进行南瓜之旅是为了庆祝他的生日。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It wasn’t an easy journey. Growing a pumpkin big enough to use as a boat is already a challenge. ( 这不是一段轻松的旅程。培育一个大到可以用作船的南瓜已经是一个挑战。)”和倒数第二段的“Hansen reportedly spent nearly a decade trying to grow a pumpkin big enough to work as a sailing vessel.( 据报道，汉森花了近十年的时间，试图种植一个足够大的南瓜，以作为一艘帆船。)”可知，为了进行他的旅行，汉森花了很长时间来种植南瓜。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“‘If somebody breaks this record, I will, like, bow down to them because they are tough,’he said.(他说：“如果有人打破了这个记录，我愿意向他们低头，因为他们很坚强。”)”可推断，汉森尊重打破他记录的任何人。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“They said it couldn’t be done. They said he was crazy. They said he would never make it.(他们说这是不可能的。他们说他疯了。他们说他不会成功的。)”，第二段“But Duane Hansen and his beautiful pumpkin, which he named Berta, proved them all wrong. Like Cinderella’s fairy godmother, this Nebraska man proved that you really can turn a pumpkin into a functional vehicle — in this case, a seaworthy vessel(船).(但杜安·汉森和他的漂亮南瓜——他给它起名为波塔——证明了他们都错了。就像灰姑娘的仙女教母一样，这位内布拉斯加州的男子证明了你真的可以把南瓜变成一种实用的交通工具——在这种情况下，一艘适航的船只。)”，第四段“It wasn’t an easy journey. Growing a pumpkin big enough to use as a boat is already a challenge. (这不是一段轻松的旅程。培育一个大到可以用作船的南瓜已经是一个挑战。)”以及下文内容可知，汉森用南瓜作为工具完成了他的旅行，完成别人认为不可能的事情，因此推断他的故事告诉我们“有志者，事竟成”。故选C。 C To study the behavior of mysterious animals, scientists routinely fix them with GPS location trackers. But such devices’ battery capacity limits how long they operate, often bringing an early end to vital conservation work. Solar-powered trackers break easily, making them a poor choice for devices tied to larger mammals—and they don’t work for nocturnal (夜行的) creatures. So biologist Rasmus Worsoe Havmoller of the University of Copenhagen and his colleagues turned to another abundant power source: kinetic energy (动能) generated by an animal’s movements. Their kinetic tracker, which Havmoller’s team recently tested on domestic dogs, a wild small horse and a European bison, could theoretically survive for the entire life span of an active animal. It is also lighter and cheaper to make than its battery-powered counterparts. “The design is clever and exciting,” says Mark Hebblewhite, a habitat ecologist at the University of Montana, who was not involved with the new work. The proof-of-concept kinetic tracker works by means of a magnetic pendulum (磁摆) that swings around a copper coil, generating electricity as the tagged animal moves. The dogs and bison in the study were active enough to create the energy to transmit one location per day for 14 days and 17 days, respectively. One of the wild horse’s trackers lasted at least 146 days but didn’t generate adequate power for daily transmissions, the researchers reported in PLoS ONE. “The limited power generated by the animals’ movements means the technology isn’t ready for prime time just yet,” says ecologist Emily Studd of British Columbia’s Thompson Rivers University, who wasn’t involved in the study. When the researchers want to monitor animals closely, they often need GPS fixes more than once a day. But Studd says that “with a bit more development, this could be a game changer for wildlife animal research and monitoring”. Havmoller and his colleagues hope conservation workers can one day use this technology to track species such as tigers, leopards and wolves, which can easily destroy solar-powered trackers and which hunt and travel at night. 8. What is the main problem with current GPS location trackers used in conservation work? A. Their batteries are harmful to animals. B. Their battery life is limited. C. They send weak signals. D. They break easily. 9. What is the main limitation of the kinetic tracker technology? A. It is expensive to make. B. It isn’t suitable for larger mammals. C. It doesn’t work for nocturnal creatures. D. It can’t produce enough power for daily transmissions. 10. What does Emily Studd think of the kinetic tracker technology? A. It needs improvement. B. It can be widely used now. C. It has reached its prime time. D. It isn’t good for monitoring wildlife. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. The Importance of Wildlife Trackers B. The Meaning of Monitoring Different Wild Animals C. Tough New Wildlife Tracker Runs on Animal Power D. Conservation Workers Use New Methods to Protect Animals 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是为解决研究神秘动物所需要的GPS定位器存在的电量不足的问题，哥本哈根大学的生物学家Rasmus Worsoe Havmoller和他的同事们所开发的一种利用动物运动产生动能的技术。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But such devices’ battery capacity limits how long they operate, often bringing an early end to vital conservation work. (但这类设备的电池容量限制了它们的运行时间，往往会导致至关重要的保护工作提前结束。)”可知，GPS定位器的电池容量限制了它们运行的时间，导致关键的保护工作提前结束，由此可知，目前用于保护工作的GPS定位器的主要问题是它们的电池寿命有限。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“One of the wild horse’s trackers lasted at least 146 days but didn’t generate adequate power for daily transmissions, the researchers reported in PLoS ONE.(研究人员在PLOS One上报告说，其中一匹野马的追踪器持续了至少146天，但没有产生足够的能量来进行日常传输。)”可知，动能追踪器没有产生足够的能量来进行日常传输，所以，其局限性在于它没有足够的能量来进行日常传输。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““The limited power generated by the animals’ movements means the technology isn’t ready for prime time just yet,” says ecologist Emily Studd of British Columbia’s Thompson Rivers University, who wasn’t involved in the study.(“动物运动产生的能量有限，这意味着这项技术还没有准备好进入黄金时期，”不列颠哥伦比亚省汤普森河大学的生态学家艾米丽·斯塔德说，她没有参与这项研究。)”可知，动物运动产生的能量有限，意为着这项技术仍需改进，结合下文中的“But Studd says that “with a bit more development, this could be a game changer for wildlife animal research and monitoring”.(但是Studd说，“随着更多的发展，这可能会改变野生动物研究和监测的游戏规则”。)”可知，Studd认为在这项技术得到改进后有助于野生动物的研究和监测，由此可知，Studd认为该项技术仍需改进。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“To study the behavior of mysterious animals, scientists routinely fix them with GPS location trackers. But such devices’ battery capacity limits how long they operate, often bringing an early end to vital conservation work.()”可知，为研究 神秘动物的行为，科学家们使用的GPS定位器由于电池容量有限导致关键工作提前结束，结合第二段中的“So biologist Rasmus Worsoe Havmoller of the University of Copenhagen and his colleagues turned to another abundant power source: kinetic energy (动能) generated by an animal’s movements.(因此，哥本哈根大学的生物学家Rasmus Worsoe Havmoller和他的同事们转向了另一种丰富的能量来源：动物运动产生的动能。)”可知，为解决GPS定位器的电池问题，哥本哈根大学的生物学家Rasmus Worsoe Havmoller和他的同事们利用动物运动产生的动能来解决能量来源问题，结合下文中介绍的该项技术的优势和现在存在的问题可知，本文主要介绍的是为解决研究神秘动物所需要的GPS定位器存在的电量不足的问题，哥本哈根大学的生物学家Rasmus Worsoe Havmoller和他的同事们所开发的一种利用动物运动产生的动能的技术，所以标题“强悍的新型野生动物追踪器依靠动物动力运行”概括了本文的主题，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。 D When you hear the word “uncertainty”, how do you feel? Scared, anxious, excited or challenged? With many global challenges still ongoing, we are likely to face even more of the unknown, so we had better get accustomed to managing it. So how do we detect uncertainty and which part of the brain is responsible for it? Researchers have found that noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) is the key chemical involved in our response to uncertainty. To investigate the role noradrenaline plays when we are faced with uncertain events, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted an experiment with mice. The animals were trained to push a lever (杠杆) down when they heard a high frequency noise. If they did this, they were rewarded with a drink of water. They were also trained to learn that they’d receive an unpleasant puff of air if the lever was activated when a low frequency noise was played. But the researchers added in an element of uncertainty by including a sound where the frequency was unclear. From this experiment, the researchers discovered that a small part in the brain called the locus coeruleus — an area that modulates noradrenaline — was essential in detecting uncertainty. When the high frequency was clear and the reward was expected for the mice, their noradrenaline release was small. But when the outcome wasn’t clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. This was how the mice’s brains learned to deal with uncertainty. A study with humans was also carried out. They discovered that the subjects’ neurons (神经元) in the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) respond much more to loss than to gain. Namely, this area rules our avoidance behaviour when we are under stress. This helps us understand our unwillingness to expose ourselves to uncertainty. Once we understand that our cognitive and emotional responses to uncertainty are a necessary part of the human experience. Acknowledge instead of fear them, perhaps making big decisions can seem less stressful. 12. What is the uncertainty in the experiment with mice? A. The high frequency noise. B. A drink of water as a reward. C. The action to push a lever down. D. The noise with unclear frequency. 13. What does the underlined word “modulates” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Removes. B. Adjusts. C. Lessens. D. Boosts. 14. How does the prefrontal cortex influence our choices when we’re stressed? A. By seeking rewarding outcome. B. By maintaining balance. C. By avoiding negative outcome. D. By reducing uncertainty. 15. What does the author want to tell us in the text? A. Responses to uncertainty come naturally. B. Uncertainty gives birth to potential risks. C. Experiments can predict expected outcomes. D. Noradrenaline tends to result from uncertainty. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人面临不确定时会变得紧张焦虑的生理过程和有关检测不确定性的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But the researchers added in an element of uncertainty by including a sound where the frequency was unclear.(但研究人员通过在频率不清楚的地方加入声音，增加了不确定性。)”可知，老鼠实验中的不确定性是频率不明确的声音。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“When the high frequency was clear and the reward was expected for the mice, their noradrenaline release was small. But when the outcome wasn’t clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. This was how the mice’s brains learned to deal with uncertainty.(当高频信号清晰时，老鼠的去甲肾上腺素释放量很小。但当结果不明确，奖励是一个惊喜时，释放量要大得多。这就是老鼠大脑学会处理不确定性的方式。)”可知，高频噪音出现，小鼠预期会得到奖励时，它们释放很少去甲肾上腺素。但当结果不明确，奖励是一个惊喜时，它们释放大量去甲肾上腺素。所以locus coeruleus在不断调节去甲肾上腺素。故划线词与B选项“Adjusts(调节)”为同义词。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“They discovered that the subjects’ neurons (神经元) in the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) respond much more to loss than to gain. Namely, this area rules our avoidance behaviour when we are under stress. This helps us understand our unwillingness to expose ourselves to uncertainty.(他们发现，受试者前额叶皮层的神经元对损失的反应要比对获得的反应强烈得多。也就是说，当我们处于压力之下时，这个区域控制着我们的逃避行为。这有助于我们理解我们不愿意将自己暴露在不确定性中。)”可知，前额皮质中的神经元对失败的反应远远大于对回报的反应，这个区域支配着人在压力下的回避行为，即当我们感到压力时，前额皮质会通过避免负面结果影响我们的选择。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Once we understand that our cognitive and emotional responses to uncertainty are a necessary part of the human experience. Acknowledge instead of fear them, perhaps making big decisions can seem less stressful.(一旦我们明白我们对不确定性的认知和情感反应是人类经历的必要组成部分。承认它们而不是害怕它们，也许做出重大决定会显得不那么有压力。)”可知，文章告诉我们：当面对不确定时，人的一系列反应都是身体自然的反应过程。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，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。 How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____16____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again. Little steps for big tasks. Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____17____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit. ____18____ Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. Tune out negative thoughts. When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____19____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns. Give yourself credit. ____20____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task. However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals. A. Never give up. B. Expect difficulties. C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going. D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside, E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future. G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍如何停止拖延症并开始采取行动。 【16题详解】 首段为总起段，功能为引入话题。由空前一句话“Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out.(拖延与动机有关，也与恐惧有关。也许你们避免了付账单，也避免了提出建议或约人出去。)”可知，这里列举了有拖延症的人可能会出现的行为，而G项Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.(不管是什么事情，拖延往往会比实际做更大的问题。)符合语境，其 putting it off 与上文Procrastinating对应，且引出下文的解决方案，有承上启下作用。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据本段的小标题“Little steps for big tasks (大事化小)”可知，本段的内容围绕把一个整体任务拆分为若干步骤来完成展开，由空前“Most procrastinators tell themselves, ‘I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.’ Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks.(大多数拖延者告诉自己，“我会等到我有心情的时候。”让我们面对现实吧；你永远不会想平衡你的支票簿或收拾你桌子上的烂摊子。这些都是枯燥乏味的任务。)”可知，这里通过举例子的方式来告诉读者，“等有心情的时候再做”是不会实现的，因为这些都是很无聊的、不令人愉悦的任务，而C项Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.(有时你只需要让自己做起来。)符合语境，有承上作用，且其中get yourself going与后文this对应，也有启下作用。故选C项。 【18题详解】 空格处为段落小标题。根据段落内容“Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. (那些拖延的人往往认为成功的人在没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的情况下实现了他们的目标。这是不现实的。高效的人知道生活是令人沮丧的。他们认为自己会遇到障碍；当他们做到这一点时，他们会坚持不懈，直到克服它们。)”可知，本段主要讲有拖延症的人通常认为那些成功的人在达到目标的过程中是没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的。而文章进一步告诉读者这是不现实的。所以B项Expect difficulties.(期待困难)符合语境，对本段有总括作用。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据本段的小标题“Tune out negative thoughts (排除消极的想法)”可知，本段的内容围绕避免负面思想对完成任务的干扰展开，第一句话“When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. (当你逃避一项任务时，可能是因为你在给自己灌输不切实际的负面信息。)”可知，这里分析了不切实际的负面信息可能是你拖延的原因，因此推知本空应该解决这一问题的办法，而E项By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. (把它们写下来，你就有机会摆脱它们。)符合语境，为处理负面思想的办法。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据本段的小标题“Give yourself credit (表扬自己)”可知，本段的内容围绕进行自我肯定展开。本空为段首句，空后有转折连词“but”，故需要根据后面的内容进行反推。由空后句子“But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task(但是，如果你从不让自己对自己的努力感到满意，你很快就会发现尝试毫无意义。所以，无论成就有多小，都要相信自己。然后你就可以完成最艰巨的任务)”可知，来自内在的肯定是对自己最大的奖励，所以D项We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside (我们通常认为奖励来自外部)符合语境，与后文构成转折关系。故选D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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 While taking a 20-hour train ride along the edge of the Taklimakan Desert in northwestern China, I had the kind of humbling, educational, and above all else, wonderful ____21____ with a local that all travelers long for. A young Chinese man ____22____ me on the train. My ____23____ friend spoke virtually no English, so I happily took the ____24____ to practice my Chinese. Over several hours, he would tell me about how he had ____25____ a two-year professional school to quickly find a job ____26____ highways in order to help support his family. Perhaps the most ____27____, however, was the fact that this man spent hours studying every day after hard physical labor. Without batting an eye, he would ____28____ a translated Emerson passage before asking about the literary influence of American ____29____ as a whole. ”And what do you all learn about Russian authors?” I ____30____ him asking at one point.

The crested ibis, with its iconic red crest and long black beak, is believed to have existed for 60 million years and ____38____ (gradual) found in China, on the Korean Peninsula, Japan and Russia until the 1960s. Bird conservationists list pesticides, fertilizers, hunting, environmental and ecological reasons for ____39____ (bring) the birds to the edge of extinction. The crested ibis was thought to be extinct in China until seven wild birds ____40____ (spot) in Yangxian County in Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province in 1981, a discovery ____41____ caused captive breeding (圈养繁殖) and strengthened protection of the species.

I re-read the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news, a recent development Noelle had shared with only a few close friends, including me. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was hurt and disappointed. I felt so guilty. I knew how the news had got out because I had been the one to tell someone else. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to home, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else. Did she really not know it was me? It would have been easy to come clean and apologize if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been copied and pasted to several people. So I chose the coward’s way out. “I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken.” I hoped that would do. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.” Surely, that would be good enough. I didn’t take responsibility for my actions, but I’d sympathized with her pain. It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (不公开姓名的) as long as I was sorry, wouldn’t it? But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but because I’d put wrong upon wrong by covering it up. I felt miserable at church on Sunday. I tried to avoid communication. Watching others take part while I sat in silence was a painful experience-one I never wanted to repeat. Later, the speaker in the church challenged us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way to being the best of ourselves, and if so, we should not to let it stop us and we needed to clear it away. 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。 I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing:my reputation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went straight to Noelle after the church. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing:my reputation. That’s what I feared losing if I told Noelle the truth. Of course, she would be disappointed at me, but deep down I dreaded the possibility she’d tell others, thinking of which, I was more than hesitant to confess. Yet I was troubled by my conscience: what was my reputation, compared to doing the right thing? To remain silent would make that reputation a lie anyway. To confess or not? I was almost torn in the dilemma. After what seemed like ages, with a deep breath, I made the decision. I went straight to Noelle after the church. I first confessed my act of gossip and then how bad I had felt about not confessing my mistake. With all poured out, I felt a great sense of relief. A flicker of disbelief and shock crossed her face but luckily for me, Noelle showed grace and forgave me eventually. We parted that day on good terms and are still friends. I never heard if she told my wrongdoing to anyone else, but even if she did, I know that telling the truth and asking for forgiveness cleared me of shame and set my heart free. (After all, right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为把好朋友的秘密无心地传出去，但她没有选择坦白和道歉，而是认为只要心理感到抱歉就可以了。星期天在教堂参加活动时，教堂里的演讲者要求作者和同行的人检查自己，看看是否有什么阻碍成为最好的自己，如果有，应该立即清除。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“我知道是什么挡在我和做正确的事之间：我的名誉”可知，下文可描写作者经过心理斗争最终决定向朋友坦白。 ②根据第二段首句“从教堂出来后我直接去找了诺艾尔”可知，下文可描写作者因自己的行为向好友道歉，并且得到了好友的原谅，她们重归于好，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：明白是名誉阻止自己坦白——心理挣扎——决定向朋友坦白——去找朋友——道歉——原谅——重归于好——感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 1.决定：make a decision/ make up one’s mind 2.分别：part/depart 3.害怕：fear/be afraid of 情绪类 1.失望的：disappointed/frustrated 2,感觉糟糕：feel bad/feel terrible 【点睛】[高分句型1]That’s what I feared losing if I told Noelle the truth.（运用了what引导的表语从句和if引导的条件状语从句） [高分句型2] After what seemed like ages, with a deep breath, I made the decision.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3]I never heard if she told my wrongdoing to anyone else, but even if she did, I know that telling the truth and asking for forgiveness cleared me of shame and set my heart free.（运用了even if引导的让步状语从句和that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阜新市育才教育集团2025年春季开学考试 高二英语试卷 本试卷共150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。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) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你将有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.

But Duane Hansen and his beautiful pumpkin, which he named Berta, proved them all wrong. Like Cinderella’s fairy godmother, this Nebraska man proved that you really can turn a pumpkin into a functional vehicle — in this case, a seaworthy vessel(船). Yes, you read that right. Hansen wanted to celebrate his 60th birthday by hollowing out his prized 846-pound pumpkin and sailing down the Missouri River inside it. Not only did Hansen enjoy a pumpkin sail on his special day, but his 38-mile journey also landed him a world record! In case you wondered, the previous world record for the longest sail in a pumpkin was 25 miles, set by a North Dakota man in 2018. It wasn’t an easy journey. Growing a pumpkin big enough to use as a boat is already a challenge. Then, there was his chosen waterway. The city of Bellevue, Nebraska, posted a photogragh of Hansen on the water that offers a reminder of just how big the Missouri River is. “He has always said that you can do anything you want and I’m just so proud,” Hansen’s daughter Morgan Buchholz said. Hansen reportedly spent nearly a decade trying to grow a pumpkin big enough to work as a sailing vessel. He was inspired to begin his mission after meeting a woman who had previously won “the Biggest Pumpkin Competition”. He asked her many questions about her experience. As for his pumpkin-sailing future, “I’m done with this.” Hansen said that the voyage made his knees ache. The wake (尾流) from boats was rough, and when they passed, he said he had to stop everything and just hang on. “If somebody breaks this record, I will, like, bow down to them because they are tough,” he said. 4. Why did Hansen go on a pumpkin journey? A. To observe his birthday. B. To show his prized pumpkin. C. To break a world record. D. To prove pumpkin could be a vessel. 5. What did Hansen do to make his journey possible? A. He chose a calm waterway. B. He talked with the previous record holder. C. He convinced his family to support his plan. D. He worked a long time to grow the pumpkin. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. His knees got seriously injured in the sailing. B. His vessel turned over in the wake from boats. C. Hansen will respect whoever breaks his record. D. Hansen will continue the pumpkin-sailing in future. 7. What does Hansen’s story tell us? A. It is never too old to learn. B. Time and tide wait for no man. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D Fear always springs from ignorance C To study the behavior of mysterious animals, scientists routinely fix them with GPS location trackers. But such devices’ battery capacity limits how long they operate, often bringing an early end to vital conservation work. Solar-powered trackers break easily, making them a poor choice for devices tied to larger mammals—and they don’t work for nocturnal (夜行) creatures. So biologist Rasmus Worsoe Havmoller of the University of Copenhagen and his colleagues turned to another abundant power source: kinetic energy (动能) generated by an animal’s movements. Their kinetic tracker, which Havmoller’s team recently tested on domestic dogs, a wild small horse and a European bison, could theoretically survive for the entire life span of an active animal. It is also lighter and cheaper to make than its battery-powered counterparts. “The design is clever and exciting,” says Mark Hebblewhite, a habitat ecologist at the University of Montana, who was not involved with the new work. The proof-of-concept kinetic tracker works by means of a magnetic pendulum (磁摆) that swings around a copper coil, generating electricity as the tagged animal moves. The dogs and bison in the study were active enough to create the energy to transmit one location per day for 14 days and 17 days, respectively. One of the wild horse’s trackers lasted at least 146 days but didn’t generate adequate power for daily transmissions, the researchers reported in PLoS ONE. “The limited power generated by the animals’ movements means the technology isn’t ready for prime time just yet” says ecologist Emily Studd of British Columbia’s Thompson Rivers University, who wasn’t involved in the study. When the researchers want to monitor animals closely, they often need GPS fixes more than once a day. But Studd says that “with a bit more development, this could be a game changer for wildlife animal research and monitoring”. Havmoller and his colleagues hope conservation workers can one day use this technology to track species such as tigers, leopards and wolves, which can easily destroy solar-powered trackers and which hunt and travel at night. 8. What is the main problem with current GPS location trackers used in conservation work? A. Their batteries are harmful to animals. B. Their battery life is limited. C. They send weak signals. D. They break easily. 9. What is the main limitation of the kinetic tracker technology? A. It is expensive to make. B. It isn’t suitable for larger mammals. C. It doesn’t work for nocturnal creatures.

Conservation Workers Use New Methods to Protect Animals D When you hear the word “uncertainty”, how do you feel? Scared, anxious, excited or challenged? With many global challenges still ongoing, we are likely to face even more of the unknown, so we had better get accustomed to managing it. So how do we detect uncertainty and which part of the brain is responsible for it? Researchers have found that noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) is the key chemical involved in our response to uncertainty. To investigate the role noradrenaline plays when we are faced with uncertain events, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted an experiment with mice. The animals were trained to push a lever (杠杆) down when they heard a high frequency noise. If they did this, they were rewarded with a drink of water. They were also trained to learn that they’d receive an unpleasant puff of air if the lever was activated when a low frequency noise was played. But the researchers added in an element of uncertainty by including a sound where the frequency was unclear. From this experiment, the researchers discovered that a small part in the brain called the locus coeruleus — an area that modulates noradrenaline — was essential in detecting uncertainty. When the high frequency was clear and the reward was expected for the mice, their noradrenaline release was small. But when the outcome wasn’t clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. This was how the mice’s brains learned to deal with uncertainty. A study with humans was also carried out. They discovered that the subjects’ neurons (神经元) in the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) respond much more to loss than to gain. Namely, this area rules our avoidance behaviour when we are under stress. This helps us understand our unwillingness to expose ourselves to uncertainty. Once we understand that our cognitive and emotional responses to uncertainty are a necessary part of the human experience. Acknowledge instead of fear them, perhaps making big decisions can seem less stressful. 12. What is the uncertainty in the experiment with mice? A. The high frequency noise. B. A drink of water as a reward. C. The action to push a lever down. D. The noise with unclear frequency. 13. What does the underlined word “modulates” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Removes. B. Adjusts. C. Lessens. D. Boosts. 14. How does the prefrontal cortex influence our choices when we’re stressed? A. By seeking rewarding outcome. B. By maintaining balance. C. By avoiding negative outcome. D. By reducing uncertainty. 15. What does the author want to tell us in the text? A. Responses to uncertainty come naturally. B. Uncertainty gives birth to potential risks. C. Experiments can predict expected outcomes. D. Noradrenaline tends to result from uncertainty. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，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。 How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____16____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again. Little steps for big tasks. Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____17____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit. ____18____ Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. Tune out negative thoughts. When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____19____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns. Give yourself credit. ____20____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task. However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals. A. Never give up. B. Expect difficulties. C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going. D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside, E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future. G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 While taking a 20-hour train ride along the edge of the Taklimakan Desert in northwestern China, I had the kind of humbling, educational, and above all else, wonderful ____21____ with a local that all travelers long for.

I re-read the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news, a recent development Noelle had shared with only a few close friends, including me. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was hurt and disappointed. I felt so guilty. I knew how the news had got out because I had been the one to tell someone else. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to home, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else. Did she really not know it was me? It would have been easy to come clean and apologize if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been copied and pasted to several people. So I chose the coward’s way out. “I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken.” I hoped that would do. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.” Surely, that would be good enough. I didn’t take responsibility for my actions, but I’d sympathized with her pain. It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (不公开姓名的) as long as I was sorry, wouldn’t it? But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but because I’d put wrong upon wrong by covering it up. I felt miserable at church on Sunday. I tried to avoid communication. Watching others take part while I sat in silence was a painful experience-one I never wanted to repeat. Later, the speaker in the church challenged us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way to being the best of ourselves, and if so, we should not to let it stop us and we needed to clear it away. 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。 I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing:my reputation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went straight to Noelle after the church. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
