These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert. Painted Desert, Arizona, USA The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display. Pinnacles Desert, Australia You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes. Share this story Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest 1. What do the first two deserts have in common? A. Rich minerals. B. Diverse colors. C. Expansive flats. D. Countless trails. 2. Why does Pinnacles Desert get its name? A. For its sand dunes. B.

(然而，这些湖泊干涸了，留下了两个新的较小的湖泊和这些广阔的盐滩。据估计，在这片沙漠中可以发现100亿吨盐)”及第三段“Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. (这里每年的降雨量不到10英寸，这些颜色是由粘土和砂岩中的矿物质形成的)”可知，这两个沙漠的矿物质都很丰富，其中盐是矿物质的一种。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). (这个沙漠的名字来源于沙丘上美丽的尖塔)”可知，Pinnacles Desert因其特殊的形状而得名。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest (点击以下选项以便在Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest上分享)”可知，文章末尾提供了三个分享点击选项，鼓励看到这篇文章的人在网上进行分享。由此推知，本文最有可能摘自网站，即旅行发现平台。故选D。 B Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance (浪漫) and heartbreak. Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In 1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels. While working his day job, Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation (改编) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels. Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a “romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister. Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011. 4. What led Sparks to write his first novel? A. A scholarship. B. His marriage. C. An accident. D. His major. 5. What do we know about The Notebook? A. It arrived in cinemas in 2004. B. It was written by two authors. C. It became a hit due to a report. D. It was Sparks’ nonfiction work. 6. Why isn’t Sparks a romance novelist? A. His stories have nothing to do with love. B. He prefers to record real events in lives. C. His books never end with happiness. D. He pays attention to various themes. 7. Which words can best describe Sparks? A. Lucky and careful. B. Tough and caring. C. Honest and brave. D. Tolerant and calm. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国小说家Nicholas Sparks的成长经历、写作生涯，他作品的特点以及他在慈善方面的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel.(他凭借田径奖学金进入圣母大学，但一次受伤结束了他的运动生涯，并促使他写出了第一部未出版的小说)”可知，一次受伤(即意外事故)促使Sparks写了他的第一部小说。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels.(决心成为一名职业作家的Sparks花了几个月时间创作了他的第一部出版小说《恋恋笔记本》，该书于1996年面向公众发行后立即登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜。到2004年电影改编版上映时，Sparks又出版了七部小说)”可知，《恋恋笔记本》于2004年被改编成电影上映。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a ‘romance novelist’. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less than happy endings.(虽然Sparks的小说通常包含爱情故事，但他不认同自己是“言情小说家”这一说法。他的支持者们一致认为，Sparks探讨了更严肃的主题，如孤独、悲伤和失落，而且他的许多书都以不太圆满的结局收尾)”可知，Sparks不仅仅关注爱情故事，还关注各种不同的主题，所以他不是言情小说家。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel.(他凭借田径奖学金进入圣母大学，但一次受伤结束了他的运动生涯，并促使他写出了第一部未出版的小说)”和第三段“Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996.(决心成为一名职业作家的Sparks花了几个月时间创作了他的第一部出版小说《恋恋笔记本》，该书于1996年面向公众发行后立即登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜)”可知，Sparks在受伤结束运动生涯后，没有放弃，而是坚持写作并取得成功，体现了他的坚韧。再根据最后一段“Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011.(Sparks将大量的时间和文学收益投入到圣母大学的写作项目以及慈善事业中，其中最著名的是他和妻子在2011年成立的Nicholas Sparks基金会)”可知，他很有爱心，愿意为慈善事业付出。所以“Tough and caring(坚韧且有爱心)”最能描述他。故选B项。 C You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer. It’s dogs. That’s the conclusion of an international group of researchers, who found that dogs have twice as many neurons (神经元) as cats. Neurons are cells that deal with information. And so, the more neurons an animal has, the better its information processing capability, these scientists say. The study was carried out by researchers from six universities in the US, Brazil, Denmark and South Africa. It’s going to be published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. The research was done in the lab of Suzana Herculano-Houzel, an associate professor of psychology and biological sciences at Vanderbilt University. Until recently, scientists interested in comparing intelligence across species were limited to using brain size as a sign. “In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope. This is what they found when they looked at the cerebral cortex of cats and dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that processes information. A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million. When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons. “So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex,” she said. “And this means that dogs can do more thinking things than cats.” 8. What does the author imply about the old debate? A. It was surprising. B. It was meaningless. C. It was easily solved. D. It had no clear result. 9. Why did the researchers turn some brain matter into a soup? A. To wake up neurons. B. To study brain growth. C. To see neurons clearly. D. To study cortex better. 10. What affects the neuron numbers of dogs? A. Practice. B. Weights. C. Thinking. D. Lifestyles. 11. What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph? A. reasonable. B. important. C. surprising. D. fearless. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，研究表明狗比猫聪明，因为狗的神经元更多。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer.(你知道那个关于狗是否比猫聪明的古老的争论吗？现在，科学有了明确的答案)”可推知，以前这个争论是没有明确答案的。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope.(“2005年，我的实验室提出了一种非常简单、快速且经济的方法来计算大脑及大脑各部分中的细胞数量，”Herculano-Houzel说道。研究人员所做的就是取一些脑组织，将其基本转化为一种“汤”。这一过程释放了细胞核，从而使科学家能够直接在显微镜下对它们进行计数)”可知，研究人员把一些大脑物质变成“汤”是为了让细胞核分离出来，从而能在显微镜下直接数细胞核数量，也就是为了更清楚地观察神经元。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.(一只15磅重的混合品种狗的脂肪有4.29亿)”和最后一段中“When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons.(当他们观察一只64磅重的金毛猎犬时，这个数字甚至更高：6.27亿个神经元。)”可知，重量影响狗的神经元数量。故选B项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.(猫的大脑皮层有2.5亿个神经元，而一只15磅重的混血狗的大脑皮层则有4.29亿个神经元)”以及“When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons.(当他们观察一只64磅重的金毛猎犬时，这个数字甚至更高：6.27亿个神经元)”，可知，狗的神经元数量大约是猫的两倍，从而推知划线词句“So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex(所以，狗的大脑皮层中的神经元大约是猫的两倍的说法是plausible)”中划线词应为“合理的”意思，与A项同义。故选A项。 D In early February 2025, the news of renowned artist Barbie Hsu’s (also known as Da S) passing away due to sepsis shocked the public. This has drawn widespread attention to this often overlooked but very dangerous disease. Sepsis, also called blood poisoning, is a serious and sudden body-wide infection. It happens when harmful germs (细菌) and their poisons stay in the blood all the time. Any kind of harmful germ infection can cause sepsis. When an infection occurs, the body’s immune system may react in an “out-of-control” way, causing body-wide inflammation (炎症), organ damage, and even shock. Sepsis can affect people of all ages, but some groups are more at risk. These include people with weak immune systems, like those with diabetes (糖尿病), cancer patients, AIDS patients, and people who take drugs that weaken the immune system for a long time. The old, babies, and people with long - term diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes are also in great danger. Besides, people who have had surgery recently or have open cuts are more likely to get infected and develop sepsis. The early signs of sepsis may not be clear and can be easily thought of as those of a common cold or flu. However, if the following signs appear together, you need to pay attention right away. These include a very high fever or a low body temperature (above 38. 3°C or below 36°C), a fast heart rate (more than 90 beats per minute in adults), fast breathing(more than 20 breaths per minute or shortness of breath), being very tired, feeling confused, being sleepy, a big drop in the amount of urine (尿液) , and pale, cold, and sweaty skin or skin rashes (皮疹). Sepsis is a very serious condition, but it can be treated. The key is to see a doctor quickly. Doctors usually take steps like using antibiotics to stop the infection from spreading, giving fluids (流体) to keep blood pressure normal and prevent organ failure, and providing organ support for very serious cases. Research shows that if patients get treatment within 6 hours, the survival rate can be as high as 80%. Otherwise, the death rate may be more than 50%. Prevention is very important in dealing with sepsis. We should get vaccines on time, wash our hands often, keep good hygiene habits, and deal with cuts quickly. If we have cold or flu symptoms that get worse, we should see a doctor as soon as possible to stop the infection from getting worse. 12. What is the function of the first paragraph about Barbie Hsu (Da S)’s death? A. To introduce the topic of sepsis. B. To arouse readers’ pity for Barbie Hsu. C. To describe the seriousness of sepsis. D. To show the influence of Barbie Hsu. 13. What is the main cause of sepsis? A. Lack of exercise. B. Harmful germ infection. C. Too much stress. D. Unhealthy eating. 14. What is the key to treating sepsis? A. Taking antibiotics by yourself. B. Drinking more water. C. Getting medical help quickly. D. Staying at home and resting. 15. What is the best way to prevent sepsis according to the text? A. Eating more fruits and vegetables. B. Keeping away from people with sepsis. C. Keeping good hygiene habits and getting vaccines. D. Taking more vitamins. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过演员徐熙媛的去世介绍了败血症的发病原因以及如何预防这种疾病。 12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In early February 2025, the news of renowned artist Barbie Hsu’s (also known as Da S) passing away due to sepsis shocked the public. This has drawn widespread attention to this often overlooked but very dangerous disease.(2025年2月初，著名演员徐熙媛（又名大S）因败血症去世的消息震惊了公众。这引起了人们对这种经常被忽视但非常危险的疾病的广泛关注)”以及第二段“Sepsis, also called blood poisoning, is a serious and sudden body-wide infection.(败血症，也叫血液中毒，是一种严重的突发全身感染)”可知，提到徐熙媛是为了引入败血症的话题。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It happens when harmful germs (细菌) and their poisons stay in the blood all the time. Any kind of harmful germ infection can cause sepsis.(当有害细菌及其毒素一直停留在血液中时，就会发生这种情况。任何一种有害的细菌感染都可能导致败血症)”可知，败血症的主要原因是有害细菌感染。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sepsis is a very serious condition, but it can be treated. The key is to see a doctor quickly.(败血症是一种非常严重的疾病，但它是可以治疗的。关键是要尽快看医生)”可知，治疗败血症的关键是尽快寻求医疗帮助。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Prevention is very important in dealing with sepsis. We should get vaccines on time, wash our hands often, keep good hygiene habits, and deal with cuts quickly.(预防在处理败血症时非常重要。我们应该按时接种疫苗，经常洗手，保持良好的卫生习惯，并迅速处理伤口)”可知，预防败血症的最好方法是保持良好的卫生习惯，接种疫苗。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Feel Better About the Way You Look If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone. ___16___ They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity.

Along the way they came to the edge of a hot-sand desert. They learnt that during the daytime the sun heated up the fine sand until it was as hot as charcoal (木炭), so no one could walk on it — not even camels! Then the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cooled down. The guide sat on the first cart. And they began the dangerous night-time journey across the desert. A couple of nights later, after eating their evening meal and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again. Later that night, the desert guide, who was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had been very tired, so when he relaxed, he fell asleep. Then the camels who, of course, couldn’t tell directions by reading the stars, gradually turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they ended up at the same place that they started from! By then it was morning, and the people woke up and realized they were back at the same spot where they started. They lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by now, they had no more water, and they were worried about there was nothing to drink, and were extremely afraid they would die of thirst. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide. However, the leader himself didn’t lose courage. He talked with the desert guide and then they began wandering, trying to work out a plan. Paragraph 1 Suddenly, the leader noticed a small clump (团) of grass. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 A spring (泉源) was found at last. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Suddenly, the leader notice a small clump of grass. So he was lost in thought: There must be water here. If there wasn’t water, the grass couldn’t live in the desert. Therefore, he asked his fellow travelers to dig up the ground on that very spot where the grass was. They dug and dug, and gradually they found a large stone. The guide jumped into the hole, put his ear to the stone, and heard the sound of flowing water. Paragraph 2 A spring (泉源) was found at last. All the people were extremely cheerful. They expressed their thanks to the leader. And then they hurried to drink water and cooked their food with it. Before they left, they raised a high flag so that other travelers could see the new spring in the hot-sand desert. Then they continued traveling safely to the end of their journey. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。要求考生根据所给内容续写两段。 【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，一个商人带领着商队去另一个国家售卖商品。他们来到一个沙漠的边缘，这个沙漠白天沙石烫的像木炭一般，无法行走。于是他们找到一个懂得星象的导游，晚上等沙子冷却下来再前行。有一天晚上，导游发现他们离沙漠的另一边非常近了，他非常疲惫，于是他在放松的时候睡着了。骆驼不识方向，它们转向另一边，绕着大圈走，停在了他们出发的地方。第二天早上人们发现他们在回到了原地，他们开始哭泣、担忧，甚至指责领队和导游。但是领队并没有灰心，开始和导游一起想办法解决问题。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：突然，领队注意到一小团草。于是接下来应该写：领队看到草，想到草生长的附近一定是有水的。于是领队让大家在草所生长的地方挖土，最后他们发现了一个大石头，导游靠近石头，听到了流动的水声。第二段开头是：最后他们找到了一个泉源。那么接下来就应该写：大家都很高兴，对领队表示了感谢。喝过水、吃完饭后，在启程之前，他们在此立了一面大旗，为了让其他的旅行者看到这个沙漠中的泉源。然后他们继续旅程，最终安全地到达了终点。 （注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。） 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，情节生动，内容完整，符合题目要求。范文中使用的一些词汇和句型值得我们学习。高级词汇/短语，如：be lost in thought，dig up，express one’s thanks to sb.，hurry to do sth.等；高级句型：虚拟语气。时间状语从句和目的状语从句 Before they left, they raised a high flag so that other travelers could see the new spring in the hot-sand desert. 定语从句，Therefore, he asked his fellow travelers to dig up the ground on that very spot where the grass was.彰显了作者高水平的英语驾驭能力。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年建平县实验中学高二下学期第一次月考英语试卷 (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、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。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡上交。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert. Painted Desert, Arizona, USA The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display. Pinnacles Desert, Australia You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes. Share this story Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest 1.

A trip discovery platform. B Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance (浪漫) and heartbreak. Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In 1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels. While working his day job Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation (改编) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels. Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a “romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister. Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011. 4 What led Sparks to write his first novel? A. A scholarship. B. His marriage. C. An accident. D. His major. 5. What do we know about The Notebook? A. It arrived in cinemas in 2004. B. It was written by two authors. C. It became a hit due to a report. D. It was Sparks’ nonfiction work. 6. Why isn’t Sparks a romance novelist? A. His stories have nothing to do with love. B. He prefers to record real events in lives. C. His books never end with happiness. D. He pays attention to various themes. 7. Which words can best describe Sparks? A. Lucky and careful. B. Tough and caring. C. Honest and brave. D. Tolerant and calm. C You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer. It’s dogs. That’s the conclusion of an international group of researchers, who found that dogs have twice as many neurons (神经元) as cats. Neurons are cells that deal with information. And so, the more neurons an animal has, the better its information processing capability, these scientists say. The study was carried out by researchers from six universities in the US, Brazil, Denmark and South Africa. It’s going to be published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. The research was done in the lab of Suzana Herculano-Houzel, an associate professor of psychology and biological sciences at Vanderbilt University. Until recently, scientists interested in comparing intelligence across species were limited to using brain size as a sign. “In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope. This is what they found when they looked at the cerebral cortex of cats and dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that processes information. A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million. When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons. “So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex,” she said. “And this means that dogs can do more thinking things than cats.” 8. What does the author imply about the old debate? A. It was surprising. B. It was meaningless. C. It was easily solved. D. It had no clear result. 9. Why did the researchers turn some brain matter into a soup? A. To wake up neurons. B. To study brain growth. C. To see neurons clearly. D. To study cortex better. 10. What affects the neuron numbers of dogs? A. Practice. B. Weights. C. Thinking. D. Lifestyles. 11. What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph? A. reasonable. B. important. C. surprising. D. fearless. D In early February 2025, the news of renowned artist Barbie Hsu’s (also known as Da S) passing away due to sepsis shocked the public. This has drawn widespread attention to this often overlooked but very dangerous disease. Sepsis, also called blood poisoning, is a serious and sudden body-wide infection. It happens when harmful germs (细菌) and their poisons stay in the blood all the time. Any kind of harmful germ infection can cause sepsis. When an infection occurs, the body’s immune system may react in an “out-of-control” way, causing body-wide inflammation (炎症), organ damage, and even shock. Sepsis can affect people of all ages but some groups are more at risk. These include people with weak immune systems, like those with diabetes (糖尿病), cancer patients, AIDS patients, and people who take drugs that weaken the immune system for a long time. The old, babies, and people with long - term diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes are also in great danger. Besides, people who have had surgery recently or have open cuts are more likely to get infected and develop sepsis. The early signs of sepsis may not be clear and can be easily thought of as those of a common cold or flu. However, if the following signs appear together, you need to pay attention right away. These include a very high fever or a low body temperature (above 38. 3°C or below 36°C), a fast heart rate (more than 90 beats per minute in adults), fast breathing(more than 20 breaths per minute or shortness of breath), being very tired, feeling confused, being sleepy, a big drop in the amount of urine (尿液) , and pale, cold, and sweaty skin or skin rashes (皮疹). Sepsis is a very serious condition, but it can be treated. The key is to see a doctor quickly. Doctors usually take steps like using antibiotics to stop the infection from spreading, giving fluids (流体) to keep blood pressure normal and prevent organ failure, and providing organ support for very serious cases. Research shows that if patients get treatment within 6 hours, the survival rate can be as high as 80%. Otherwise, the death rate may be more than 50%. Prevention is very important in dealing with sepsis. We should get vaccines on time, wash our hands often, keep good hygiene habits, and deal with cuts quickly. If we have cold or flu symptoms that get worse, we should see a doctor as soon as possible to stop the infection from getting worse. 12. What is the function of the first paragraph about Barbie Hsu (Da S)’s death? A. To introduce the topic of sepsis. B. To arouse readers’ pity for Barbie Hsu. C. To describe the seriousness of sepsis. D. To show the influence of Barbie Hsu. 13. What is the main cause of sepsis? A. Lack of exercise. B. Harmful germ infection. C. Too much stress. D. Unhealthy eating. 14. What is the key to treating sepsis? A. Taking antibiotics by yourself. B. Drinking more water. C. Getting medical help quickly. D. Staying at home and resting. 15.

Along the way they came to the edge of a hot-sand desert. They learnt that during the daytime the sun heated up the fine sand until it was as hot as charcoal (木炭), so no one could walk on it — not even camels! Then the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cooled down. The guide sat on the first cart. And they began the dangerous night-time journey across the desert. A couple of nights later, after eating their evening meal and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again. Later that night, the desert guide, who was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had been very tired, so when he relaxed, he fell asleep. Then the camels who, of course, couldn’t tell directions by reading the stars, gradually turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they ended up at the same place that they started from! By then it was morning, and the people woke up and realized they were back at the same spot where they started. They lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by now, they had no more water, and they were worried about there was nothing to drink, and were extremely afraid they would die of thirst. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide. However, the leader himself didn’t lose courage. He talked with the desert guide and then they began wandering, trying to work out a plan. Paragraph 1 Suddenly, the leader noticed a small clump (团) of grass. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 A spring (泉源) was found at last. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
