Maybe most importantly, the drones being employed by more and more cities for Fourth of July celebrations don’t leave behind a blanket of smoke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its worst in decades. “Around the world, we’ve seen consistently that, during times when firework usage is really high, we have really bad air quality,” said Pallavi Pant, the head of global health at the Health Effects Institute. And while that pollution typically disappears quickly — usually around noon on July 5th — the concentration can be high enough to worsen the condition for those with breathing problems. Cities making the switch to high-tech shows say there’re plenty of other reasons why people may want to avoid traditional fireworks. “Fireworks can be harmful to folks who suffer from PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) or families who have dogs. Salt Lake City has more households with dogs than we do with kids,” said Lynze Twede, a manager for Salt Lake City Public Lands. “Being away from fireworks is considered by many to be the tendency of the future. Drones are reusable, while with fireworks, you have smoke, falling debris (碎片), and noise which especially stresses dogs and people with PTSD out.” About 12,264 fires were started by firework displays in 2021, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Those added up to around $59 million in direct property damage. But data also shows that much of the wildfire risk comes not from grand public displays, but from the small-scale shows on sidewalks. It may be too early to tell how this tendency may get close to smaller shows and consumers, but the price is a limiting factor. 4. What is the most important reason for U.S. cities’ giving up traditional firework shows? A. To reduce fire risks. B. To prevent noise pollution. C To protect the environment. D. To support new technology. 5. What about fireworks typically threatens people with PTSD and dogs? A. Their thick smoke. B. Their falling debris. C. Their frightening noise. D. Their shining bright light. 6. What does the data from the National Fire Protection Association show? A. Public fireworks win more people’s favor. B. Street fireworks present more fire threats. C. Usage of fireworks is on the decrease. D. Prevention of fireworks is costly. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. What response Americans have to drone light shows. B. Why some U.S. cities replace fireworks with drones. C. How Americans celebrate special events. D. How drone shows develop in America. C When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text and it seemed that a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task? As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a tool for thinking. As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U. S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’ re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’ re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’ re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions. Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote, “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.” I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.” I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations. 8. What’s the author’s main concern about ChatGPT? A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating. B. Whether it will write articles like humans. C. How students will make use of it at school. D. What effects it will have on students’ writing. 9. What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger? A. Give us more creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine. C. Encourage us to think more deeply. D. Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes. 10. What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response? A. Writing will become completely automated. B. Robots will work with humans in writing. C. Robot writing will become more creative. D. Human writing will still matter a lot. 11. What may the author think of the bot’s reply to his question? A. Satisfactory. B. One-sided. C. Ambiguous. D. Unacceptable. D Over the past 300 years,1.5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in biodiversity loss, desertification, and increased flooding risks. In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities. This engaging book mainly reveals how well-developed approaches are required — one that integrates the latest scientific advancements, for instance. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our interconnectedness with the woods, a realization that is perhaps the biggest “secret” to restoring nature. Tree-planting initiatives have exploded since the turn of the century. Globally, the area of planted forests rose from 170 million hectares in 1990 to 293 million hectares in 2020. However, unless thoroughly researched and well organized, tree planting can backfire. Often, only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land. This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and microorganisms (微生物) associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases, a whole forest can be wiped out at once. Moreover, non-native trees can win out over local species, disturbing the local balanced ecosystems. To solve environmental crises, Robinson advocates a more informed strategy. He speaks to Forrest Fleischman, a specialist in forest and environmental policy, who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self-sufficient agricultural activities. Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem. The author also describes the concept of ecoacoustics (生态声学) . The approach uses the sounds made by organisms including birds and bats to explore the composition of and changes in ecosystems. Working with ecoacoustics specialist Carlos Abrahams, Robinson concludes that as forests are recovered, the number of animals hidden in the soil increases, producing an “underground soundscape — a hidden symphony of life”. Robinson ultimately emphasizes natural regeneration — just as a phoenix (a mythical bird) is reborn from its own ashes, a damaged forest can regenerate itself. 12. What is the main focus of Jake Robinson’s Treewilding? A. The importance of technology in modern agriculture. B. The changes of global forests over the past 300 years. C. Major benefits of maintaining healthy ecosystems. D. Effective methods in solving the loss of forests. 13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4? A. Lead to negative outcomes. B. Produce predictable results. C. Facilitate relevant initiatives. D. Encourage sustainable growth. 14. What might Fleischman expect tree-planting organizers to do? A. Increase the number of non-native species. B Standardize planting practices across different regions. C. Take account of natives’ knowledge in planting processes. D. Encourage locals to adopt advanced agricultural methods. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Forest Clearing Poses a Serious Threat to Us B. Repairing Forests Is More Than Just Planting Trees C. Natural Regeneration Is the Key to Ecosystem Restoration D. The Underground Soundscape Allows Us to Know Nature Better 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 选项。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 You’ re absorbed in a mystery novel, but in your excitement to discover who committed the crime, you turn the page too quickly and slice open the skin of your pointer finger. You take a deep breath, not because you’ve just learned that the head servant did it, but because the tiny cut hurts so badly. Why are paper cuts so painful? ___16___ First of all, human fingers carry a high concentration of nerve cells called nociceptors (伤害感受器) which respond to signals released by damaged cells. Paper cuts primarily set off nociceptors, which sense cell damage caused by pressure, cuts and small holes. Activated nociceptors let loose a chain of electrical signals that travel through nerve fibers. ___17___ Sometimes, paper cuts can also stimulate nociceptors that are sensitive to chemicals, such as the whitener (增白剂) used to lighten paper. An extra terrible feeling around a paper cut may be generated. ___18___ The paper itself also adds to the pain. Although it looks smooth to the naked eye, at a microscopic level, the dried wood fibers within paper make the materials’ edges quite rough. This rough texture causes more extensive cellular damage than a straight, clean edge would. That said, paper’s rough edge typically only slices through the top two layers of skin — the outer skin layer and the inner skin layer. ___19___ This lowers the likelihood that the cut will become covered by thickened blood. As a result, the nerve fibers remain exposed to the environment for a prolonged period of time and shoot off pain signals whenever touched. To treat a paper cut, clean the wound with soap and water, apply antibiotic ointment (抗生素软膏) to prevent infection, and cover it with a bandage to block out dirty stuff. ___20___ However, if the cut doesn’t improve in that time, you’d better see a doctor. A. Therefore, it causes little to no bleeding. B. It’s a combination of two different aspects. C. Most paper cuts recover within two to three days. D. Hands are flexible and packed with pain-sensitive cells. E. This helps explain why slicing open your finger is also super painful. F. But it’s not just the physical makeup that makes paper cuts so painful. G. Ultimately, the signals reach a brain region responsible for sensations of pain. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1983, a super marathon gathered the world’s top runners for a difficult race.

After six years of being a violin learner, I decided to take on a new challenge: the cello (大提琴). My mom found an experienced cello teacher, Ms. Kim, who agreed to teach me in her cello studio. At first, the pieces I played on the cell o were simple and uninspiring. However, everything changed when Ms. Kim offered me a challenging piece named “Capriccio”. My dad, who was excited about the music that I would play, believed mastering this piece was as impossible as a tiger flying in the sky. My mom looked up “Capriccio” on YouTube, her eyes widening as she watched a musician perform it with grace and intensity, realizing how difficult the piece truly was. I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. “Capriccio” requires many techniques, and learning them was often frustrating. One particularly tough challenge was pressing several notes with my thumb, which caused me tears as I struggled with the pain. My fingers felt awkward, and I worried I would never get it right. One day, after a particularly tiring practice session, Ms. Kim suggested I focus more on the dynamics of the piece. I misinterpreted her advice, thinking she was frustrated with my slow progress. This doubt made me question my ability and Ms. Kim’s belief in me, fueling my frustration with the cello. After a challenging practice one afternoon, feeling defeated, I finally opened up to Ms. Kim about my feelings. I shared my struggles and fears, expecting her to scold me for my lack of progress. To my surprise, she smiled gently, saying, “Sadie, I only push you because I see your potential!” Ms. Kim adapted her teaching style, focusing on my strengths while gently guiding me through my weaknesses. And her encouragement regenerated my motivation: I began to approach “Capriccio” with renewed enthusiasm. 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 tried my best to practice playing the cello with the help of Ms. Kim. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the competition finally arrived, and my cello performance started. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1～5 BACBB 6～10 ACBCA 11～15 BCABA 16～20 CBCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 辽宁省名校联盟2025年高二3月份联合考试 英语 本试卷满分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. 答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

Maybe most importantly, the drones being employed by more and more cities for Fourth of July celebrations don’t leave behind a blanket of smoke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its worst in decades. “Around the world, we’ve seen consistently that, during times when firework usage is really high, we have really bad air quality,” said Pallavi Pant, the head of global health at the Health Effects Institute. And while that pollution typically disappears quickly — usually around noon on July 5th — the concentration can be high enough to worsen the condition for those with breathing problems. Cities making the switch to high-tech shows say there’re plenty of other reasons why people may want to avoid traditional fireworks. “Fireworks can be harmful to folks who suffer from PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) or families who have dogs. Salt Lake City has more households with dogs than we do with kids,” said Lynze Twede, a manager for Salt Lake City Public Lands. “Being away from fireworks is considered by many to be the tendency of the future. Drones are reusable, while with fireworks, you have smoke, falling debris (碎片), and noise which especially stresses dogs and people with PTSD out.” About 12,264 fires were started by firework displays in 2021, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Those added up to around $59 million in direct property damage. But data also shows that much of the wildfire risk comes not from grand public displays, but from the small-scale shows on sidewalks. It may be too early to tell how this tendency may get close to smaller shows and consumers, but the price is a limiting factor. 4. What is the most important reason for U.S. cities’ giving up traditional firework shows? A To reduce fire risks. B. To prevent noise pollution. C. To protect the environment. D. To support new technology. 5. What about fireworks typically threatens people with PTSD and dogs? A. Their thick smoke. B. Their falling debris. C. Their frightening noise. D. Their shining bright light. 6. What does the data from the National Fire Protection Association show? A. Public fireworks win more people’s favor. B. Street fireworks present more fire threats. C. Usage of fireworks is on the decrease. D. Prevention of fireworks is costly. 7 What is the text mainly about? A. What response Americans have to drone light shows. B. Why some U.S. cities replace fireworks with drones. C. How Americans celebrate special events. D. How drone shows develop in America. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了美国一些城市在国庆节庆祝活动中用无人机灯光秀取代传统烟花表演的原因，包括保护环境、减少火灾风险、避免噪音污染以及对特殊人群和宠物的影响等。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Maybe most importantly, the drones being employed by more and more cities for Fourth of July celebrations don’t leave behind a blanket of smoke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its worst in decades. (也许最重要的是，在美国空气质量已经处于几十年来最糟糕的时期，越来越多的城市在7月4日庆祝活动中使用无人机，而无人机不会留下大量的烟雾)”可知，美国一些城市放弃传统烟花表演最重要的原因是保护环境。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Drones are reusable, while with fireworks, you have smoke, falling debris (碎片), and noise which especially stresses dogs and people with PTSD out. (无人机可以重复使用，而烟花则会带来烟雾、坠落的碎片和噪音，这些尤其会让狗和患有创伤后应激障碍的人感到紧张)”可知，燃放烟花的声音会使患有创伤后应激障碍的人群和狗感到紧张。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But data also shows that much of the wildfire risk comes not from grand public displays, but from the small-scale shows on sidewalks. (但数据也显示，大部分野火风险并非来自大型公共烟花表演，而是来自人行道上的小型烟花表演)”可知，街头烟花表演存在更大的火灾隐患。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“For this year’s Fourth of July celebration, some U.S. cities have replaced traditional fireworks with impressive drone (无人机) light shows. (在今年的7月4日庆祝活动中，美国一些城市用令人印象深刻的无人机灯光秀取代了传统的烟花表演)”和第二段中“Cities making the switch to high-tech shows say there’re plenty of other reasons why people may want to avoid traditional fireworks. (改用高科技表演的城市表示，人们想要避免传统烟花的原因还有很多)”可知，文章主要讨论了美国一些城市为什么选择用无人机灯光秀取代传统烟花表演，包括保护环境、减少火灾风险、避免噪音污染以及对应激障碍患者和宠物的影响等多方面原因。故选B项。 C When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text and it seemed that a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task? As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a tool for thinking. As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U. S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’ re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’ re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’ re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions. Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote, “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.” I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.” I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations. 8. What’s the author’s main concern about ChatGPT? A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating. B. Whether it will write articles like humans. C. How students will make use of it at school. D. What effects it will have on students’ writing. 9. What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger? A. Give us more creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine. C. Encourage us to think more deeply. D. Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes. 10. What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response? A. Writing will become completely automated. B. Robots will work with humans in writing. C. Robot writing will become more creative. D. Human writing will still matter a lot. 11. What may the author think of the bot’s reply to his question? A. Satisfactory. B. One-sided. C. Ambiguous. D. Unacceptable. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了ChatGPT对学生写作的影响及其潜在问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a tool for thinking. (作为一名研究科技对人们阅读、写作和思考方式影响的语言学家，我认为除了作弊之外，还有其他更紧迫的问题。这些问题包括人工智能是否会威胁到学生的写作技能，写作作为一个过程的价值，以及将写作视为一种思考工具的重要性)”可知，作者更关注它对学生写作会产生什么影响。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other, ” Selinger wrote, “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.” (哲学家Evan Selinger担心，预测性短信会削弱作为一种精神活动和个人表达形式的写作的力量。Selinger写道，通过鼓励我们不要太过深入地思考自己的语言，预测技术可能会改变我们对待彼此的方式，“我们给了别人更多的算法，却少了自己。”自动化可以阻止我们思考，生成的文本感觉不再是我的了。”)”可知，Evan Selinger认为预测性文本输入技术让表达出的自我更少，自动化会阻止我们思考，生成的文本也不再像自己写的，所以预测性技术会让我们像机器一样写作。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.” (机器人回答说：“对创造性的原创内容的需求总是存在的，这需要人类作家的独特观点。”它还说：“除了创造内容之外，写作还有很多目的，比如自我表达、交流和个人成长，即使某些类型的写作可以自动化，这也会继续鼓励人们写作。”)”可知，虽然未来有些写作会实现自动化，但是那些原创、个性化的写作永远是需要的。由此推知，人类完成的写作很重要，机器无法取而代之。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations. (我很高兴地发现，这个项目似乎已经承认了它的局限性)” 可知，作者对ChatGPT的回答是满意的。故选A。 D Over the past 300 years,1.5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in biodiversity loss, desertification, and increased flooding risks. In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities. This engaging book mainly reveals how well-developed approaches are required — one that integrates the latest scientific advancements, for instance. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our interconnectedness with the woods, a realization that is perhaps the biggest “secret” to restoring nature. Tree-planting initiatives have exploded since the turn of the century. Globally, the area of planted forests rose from 170 million hectares in 1990 to 293 million hectares in 2020. However, unless thoroughly researched and well organized, tree planting can backfire. Often, only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land. This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and microorganisms (微生物) associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases, a whole forest can be wiped out at once. Moreover, non-native trees can win out over local species, disturbing the local balanced ecosystems. To solve environmental crises, Robinson advocates a more informed strategy. He speaks to Forrest Fleischman, a specialist in forest and environmental policy, who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self-sufficient agricultural activities. Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem. The author also describes the concept of ecoacoustics (生态声学) . The approach uses the sounds made by organisms including birds and bats to explore the composition of and changes in ecosystems. Working with ecoacoustics specialist Carlos Abrahams, Robinson concludes that as forests are recovered, the number of animals hidden in the soil increases, producing an “underground soundscape — a hidden symphony of life”. Robinson ultimately emphasizes natural regeneration — just as a phoenix (a mythical bird) is reborn from its own ashes, a damaged forest can regenerate itself. 12. What is the main focus of Jake Robinson’s Treewilding? A. The importance of technology in modern agriculture. B. The changes of global forests over the past 300 years. C. Major benefits of maintaining healthy ecosystems. D. Effective methods in solving the loss of forests. 13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4? A. Lead to negative outcomes. B. Produce predictable results. C. Facilitate relevant initiatives. D. Encourage sustainable growth. 14. What might Fleischman expect tree-planting organizers to do? A. Increase the number of non-native species. B. Standardize planting practices across different regions. C. Take account of natives’ knowledge in planting processes. D. Encourage locals to adopt advanced agricultural methods. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Forest Clearing Poses a Serious Threat to Us B. Repairing Forests Is More Than Just Planting Trees C. Natural Regeneration Is the Key to Ecosystem Restoration D. The Underground Soundscape Allows Us to Know Nature Better 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章文章介绍了随机植树的潜在问题，强调了科学植树的重要性，并探讨了生态声学及自然再生在森林恢复中的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities.(在《Treewilding》一书中，生态学家杰克·罗宾逊解释说，虽然解决森林砍伐问题的方法似乎很简单——只需种植数百万棵树——但现实要复杂得多。随意植树会威胁生态系统和当地社区的生计)”和第三段中“This engaging book mainly reveals how well-developed approaches are required — one that integrates the latest scientific advancements, for instance.(这本引人入胜的书主要揭示了需要采用成熟的方法——例如，一种融合了最新科学进展的方法)”可知，Jake Robinson在《Treewilding》一书中介绍了解决森林砍伐问题看似简单，但现实要复杂得多，需要使用融合了最新科学成果的成熟方法来处理。所以，这本书主要关注的是解决森林砍伐导致的森林减少问题的有效方法。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“However, unless thoroughly researched and well organized, tree planting can backfire.(然而，除非进行彻底的调查和组织，否则植树可能会……)”和下文“Often, only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land. This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and microorganisms (微生物) associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases, a whole forest can be wiped out at once. Moreover, non native trees can win out over local species, disturbing the local balanced ecosystems.(通常，在一片片土地上只种植一种树。这会减少生物多样性，包括植物物种以及与之相关的野生动物和微生物。因为同一物种的树木都可能成为同一种疾病的受害者，整个森林可能会一下子被摧毁。此外，外来树木可能会胜过本地物种，扰乱当地的生态平衡)”中对随意植树带来的不良后果的介绍可推知，如果没有经过彻底的调查和组织就随意植树，植树就会“导致负面的结果”，所以backfire与意思一致A项“Lead to negative outcomes.”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“He speaks to Forrest Fleischman, a specialist in forest and environmental policy, who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self sufficient agricultural activities. Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem.(他与森林和环境政策专家福雷斯特·弗莱施曼交谈，弗莱施曼强调了当地人如何依靠森林进行高度自给自足的农业活动。弗莱施曼还提出，当地人很清楚哪些物种最适合当地环境，以及这些物种与当地野生动物和生态系统是如何相互关联的)”可知，弗莱施曼认为当地人很清楚哪些物种最适合当地环境，以及这些物种与当地野生动物和生态系统是如何相互关联的，由此推知，他会希望植树组织者在植树过程中考虑当地人的知识。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities.(在《Treewilding》一书中，生态学家杰克·罗宾逊解释说，虽然解决森林砍伐问题的方法似乎很简单——只需种植数百万棵树——但现实要复杂得多。随意植树会威胁生态系统和当地社区的生计)”以及后面提到植树要考虑科学成果、当地人的知识、采用生态声学等多种因素来解决森林问题，而不只是单纯种树。所以“Repairing Forests Is More Than Just Planting Trees(修复森林不仅仅是种树)”能概括文章主旨，最适合做文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 选项。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 You’ re absorbed in a mystery novel, but in your excitement to discover who committed the crime, you turn the page too quickly and slice open the skin of your pointer finger. You take a deep breath, not because you’ve just learned that the head servant did it, but because the tiny cut hurts so badly. Why are paper cuts so painful? ___16___ First of all, human fingers carry a high concentration of nerve cells called nociceptors (伤害感受器) which respond to signals released by damaged cells. Paper cuts primarily set off nociceptors, which sense cell damage caused by pressure, cuts and small holes. Activated nociceptors let loose a chain of electrical signals that travel through nerve fibers. ___17___ Sometimes, paper cuts can also stimulate nociceptors that are sensitive to chemicals, such as the whitener (增白剂) used to lighten paper. An extra terrible feeling around a paper cut may be generated. ___18___ The paper itself also adds to the pain. Although it looks smooth to the naked eye, at a microscopic level, the dried wood fibers within paper make the materials’ edges quite rough. This rough texture causes more extensive cellular damage than a straight, clean edge would. That said, paper’s rough edge typically only slices through the top two layers of skin — the outer skin layer and the inner skin layer. ___19___ This lowers the likelihood that the cut will become covered by thickened blood. As a result, the nerve fibers remain exposed to the environment for a prolonged period of time and shoot off pain signals whenever touched. To treat a paper cut, clean the wound with soap and water, apply antibiotic ointment (抗生素软膏) to prevent infection, and cover it with a bandage to block out dirty stuff. ___20___ However, if the cut doesn’t improve in that time, you’d better see a doctor. A. Therefore, it causes little to no bleeding. B. It’s a combination of two different aspects. C. Most paper cuts recover within two to three days. D. Hands are flexible and packed with pain-sensitive cells. E. This helps explain why slicing open your finger is also super painful. F. But it’s not just the physical makeup that makes paper cuts so painful. G. Ultimately, the signals reach a brain region responsible for sensations of pain. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. A 20.

After six years of being a violin learner, I decided to take on a new challenge: the cello (大提琴). My mom found an experienced cello teacher, Ms. Kim, who agreed to teach me in her cello studio. At first, the pieces I played on the cell o were simple and uninspiring. However, everything changed when Ms. Kim offered me a challenging piece named “Capriccio”. My dad, who was excited about the music that I would play, believed mastering this piece was as impossible as a tiger flying in the sky. My mom looked up “Capriccio” on YouTube, her eyes widening as she watched a musician perform it with grace and intensity, realizing how difficult the piece truly was. I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. “Capriccio” requires many techniques, and learning them was often frustrating. One particularly tough challenge was pressing several notes with my thumb, which caused me tears as I struggled with the pain. My fingers felt awkward, and I worried I would never get it right. One day, after a particularly tiring practice session, Ms. Kim suggested I focus more on the dynamics of the piece. I misinterpreted her advice, thinking she was frustrated with my slow progress. This doubt made me question my ability and Ms. Kim’s belief in me, fueling my frustration with the cello. After a challenging practice one afternoon, feeling defeated, I finally opened up to Ms. Kim about my feelings. I shared my struggles and fears, expecting her to scold me for my lack of progress. To my surprise, she smiled gently, saying, “Sadie, I only push you because I see your potential!” Ms. Kim adapted her teaching style, focusing on my strengths while gently guiding me through my weaknesses. And her encouragement regenerated my motivation: I began to approach “Capriccio” with renewed enthusiasm. 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 tried my best to practice playing the cello with the help of Ms. Kim. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the competition finally arrived, and my cello performance started. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I tried my best to practice playing the cello with the help of Ms. Kim. I got up at 5 o’clock every morning, driven by my determination to improve. In order not to disturb others, I went out into the park to practice. After days of hard practice, my efforts paid off and I found my skills improved rapidly. Ms. Kim was delighted with my progress, encouraging me to sign up for the competition to be held by her studio. Nervous as I was at first, I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone was essential, so I got up the courage and followed her advice. The day of the competition finally arrived, and my cello performance started. At the beginning, I felt very nervous, with my palms sweaty. But as I played, memories of practice flooded into my mind, reminding me of all the hard work I had invested. The surge of feeling combined with the encouraging smiles from Ms. Kim and my parents boosted my confidence, allowing me to be immersed into the whole performance. When I finished “Capriccio”, the audience burst out a storm of thunderous applause. Although I didn’t win first place, the experience became the highlight of my musical journey, motivating me to practice even harder in the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了一位学习大提琴的学生在老师的帮助下，克服困难，最终在比赛中成功演奏了高难度曲目“Capriccio”的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在Ms. Kim的帮助下，我尽了最大的努力练习大提琴。”可知，第一段可描写作者的刻苦练习以及取得的进步和Ms. Kim的鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛的日子终于到了，我的大提琴表演开始了。”可知，第二段可描写作者比赛时的紧张心情以及自己的最佳状态和感悟。 2.续写线索：努力练习——受到鼓励——参加比赛——紧张——完成比赛——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提高：improve /promote ②鼓励：encourage/motivate ③举办：hold /throw ④鼓起：get up/gather up 情绪类 ①快乐的：delighted/pleased ②紧张的：nervous/tense 【点睛】[高分句型1] Nervous as I was at first, I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone was essential, so I got up the courage and followed her advice.(运用了as引导的倒装句) [高分句型2] When I finished “Capriccio”, the audience burst out a storm of thunderous applause.
