My son Nick had been eager to try rock climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-old mother, I am not a physical person at all. But I still decided to join him in a training class. The first time I reached the top and returned safely to the ground, I was flooded with a mix of emotions. My body trembled with adrenaline (肾上腺素), as I had pushed myself harder than I ever thought possible, but I had accomplished it. Four months into my climbing journey, I had an accident while bouldering (攀岩). I’m not sure what exactly happened, but I believe, my foot missed a hold on the way down. I didn’t land properly and injured my lower back. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I feared that I would never return to rock climbing or bouldering and said to Nick sadly, “A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn’t let that happen.” It took nearly three months before I felt strong enough to give it another try. Nick was supportive throughout the process. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick down. He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely. Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits. 24. Why did the author join rock climbing at first? A. To improve her physical condition. B. To step out of comfort zone. C. To keep her son company. D. To seek adventure and enjoyment. 25. The author’s words to her son in paragraph 2 imply that _______. A. she feared losing self-identity gained from climbing B. she valued the new insight developed from climbing C. she was concerned about disconnecting with Nick D. she was eager to demonstrate her physical capabilities 26. What was the key to the author’s successful try after recovery? A. Her experience. B. Her passion. C. Doctors’ encouragement. D. Nick’s backing. 27. What is the main message conveyed by the author through her rock climbing experience? A. Parental support is crucial in achieving one’s goals. B. Persistence is the key to conquering fears in extreme sports. C. Overcoming physical limitations leads to personal fulfillment. D. Embracing challenges fosters both self-growth and family bonds. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为了陪伴尼克，参加了攀岩运动，并且喜欢这项运动，虽然因为意外受伤，但是作者在儿子的支持下康复了，作者认为攀岩让自己体力和精神得到了增强。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My son Nick had been eager to try rock climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-old mother, I am not a physical person at all. But I still decided to join him in a training class.(我的儿子尼克一直渴望尝试攀岩，他需要一个伙伴。作为一个45岁的母亲，我根本不是一个身体力行的人。但我还是决定和他一起参加培训班)”可知，作者最初参加攀岩运动是为了陪伴她的儿子。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I feared that I would never return to rock climbing or bouldering and said to Nick sadly, “A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn’t let that happen.”(我担心自己再也不会去攀岩了，于是悲伤地对尼克说：“我的一部分会溜走的。它会被遗忘，永远被动地躺着。我不能让这种事发生。”)”可知，作者害怕失去从攀登中获得的自我认同。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely.(他让我放心，告诉我不要担心，慢慢来，等我准备好了再试试别的路线。十五分钟后，我选择了另一条路。我不断提醒自己，我可以随时改变主意。一路上，尼克引导我，鼓励我。令我惊讶的是，我成功登顶并安全返回地面)”可知，作者康复后尝试成功的关键是尼克的支持。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits.(攀岩给我带来了奇迹。它不仅增强了我的体力和精神力量，而且给我植入了一种新的自信。这是一个很好的机会，让我和尼克之间的关系更加紧密，同时也鼓励我去探索更多的可能性，体现了一种将自己推向极限的精神)”结合文章不仅描述了作者突破身体和心理界限（self-growth），还强调了与儿子共同成长、强化亲子关系（family bonds）的主题，可知选项D“接受挑战既能促进自我成长，也能促进家庭纽带”全面涵盖这两方面。故选D。 C Women were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They commit far fewer murders. They are less likely to favor strikes. For some scholars, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful. But European history suggests otherwise, according to political scientists Oeindrila Dube and S. P. Harish. They studied how often European rulers went to war between 1480 and 1913, and found that states ruled by queens were 27% more likely to get involved in wars than those ruled by kings. This was not all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared: “No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything.” Shortly after becoming king, he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia province. Despite years of war, she never recovered it. But perceived weakness is not the whole story. Queens, the researchers found, were more likely to gain new territory. Catherine the Great expanded her empire by some 200,000 square miles. And married queens were more aggressive than single queens or kings, whether single or married. The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances (联盟), making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives’ states. Second, unlike most kings, queens often gave their husbands a lot of power, putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy. During the 1740s, Maria Theresa’s husband, Francis I, reformed the Austrian economy and raised money for the armed forces while his wife ruled much of central Europe. Prince Albert was Queen Victoria’s most trusted adviser, shaping her foreign policy until his death in 1861. This division of labor, the authors suggest, freed up time for queens to pursue more aggressive policies. The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. The number of countries led by women has more than doubled since 2000, but there is plenty of room for improvement: the current level of 15 represents less than 10% of the total. A world in which more women took power might be more equal. Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question. 28. Why did Frederick the Great attack Maria Theresa soon after she became ruler? A. He opposed her dislike of starting wars. B. He wanted Austria’s important trade roads. C. He believed female leaders were easier to defeat. D. He blamed her for losing the land in the past wars. 29. Why were married queens more likely to gain new territory? A. Because their military alliances picked fights for them. B. Because they were ambitious and aggressive by nature. C. Because they centralized all power into their own hands. D. Because their husbands were supportive in state governing. 30. What is the purpose of mentioning the two female leaders in the last paragraph? A. To imply there is room for improvement in gender equality. B. To indicate more females become leaders in modern times. C. To suggest female leaders have their share of wars in modern times. D. To illustrate female leaders cannot prevent wars in modern times. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Women in Power: A Promise for Peace? B. The Historical Impact of European Queens C. The Role of Male Advisers in Female Leadership D. Married Queens vs. Single Queens: Who Rules Better? 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了由女性执政的国家历史上并不比男性执政的国家和平，已婚女王带领的国家其实经历了更多的战争。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“This was not all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared: “No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything.” Shortly after becoming king, he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia province.(这也不全是女王们的错：男人们把她们视为软目标，倾向于攻击她们。普鲁士的腓特烈大帝曾宣称：“任何女人都不应该被允许统治任何东西。”在成为国王后不久，他袭击了新加冕的奥地利大公夫人玛丽亚·特蕾莎，并占领了西里西亚省)”明确提到男性统治者认为女性统治者是“软目标”，因此倾向于攻击她们。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances, making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives’ states.(首先，已婚的女王可能会形成更多的军事联盟，使她们有足够的信心挑起战争。她们的丈夫在结婚前经常在军队服役，这有利于加强他们的祖国和妻子所在国家之间的军事联系)”以及第六段内容“Second, unlike most kings, queens often gave their husbands a lot of power, putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy.(其次，与大多数国王不同，女王经常赋予丈夫很大的权力，让他们负责外交政策或经济)”可知，作者提出了几个原因。首先，已婚皇后能够形成更多的军事联盟，使他们有足够的信心挑起战争。而她们的丈夫在结婚前经常在军队服役，利于加强祖国和妻子所在州之间的军事联系，即，丈夫会给与军事方面的帮助；其次，女王赋予丈夫很大的权力，让他们负责外交或经济，即，丈夫会给予外交或经济方面的帮助。由此总结可知，已婚女王更有可能获得新领地，因为她们的丈夫会帮助其管理国家。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands.(现代也见证了战争中的女性领导人：戈尔达·梅尔和赎罪日战争，或者玛格丽特·撒切尔和福克兰群岛)”可推知，这里举例是跟在话题句“现代也见证了战争中的女性领导人”之后的，由此推知这里举例两位女性领导人是想表明当代的女性领导者也在战争中有参与。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章内容可知，结合文章首段末尾内容和第二段首句内容“For some scholars, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful. But European history suggests otherwise…(对一些学者来说，这些都是认为由女性统治的世界会更加和平的理由。但欧洲的历史表明并非如此……)”以及文章尾段末尾句内容“Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question.(是否会更加和平是另一个问题)”可知，文章主要讨论了“女性当权是否能带来和平”这一话题，并在文章中用历史事实举例的方法进行了论证。选项A“Women in Power: A Promise for Peace?(女性掌权：和平的承诺？)”用问句形式，暗示女性当权是否能带来和平，符合文章讨论的核心。故选A项。 D Artificial intelligence-enabled voice cloning tools have made it easier for criminals to imitate strangers’ voices and trick victims into handing over large sums of money For example, a scammer might target a victim posing as their grandchild and claiming they require cash fast. Older people who might not be familiar with new technologies such as AI can be particularly subject to these types of scams, particularly when the caller on the other line sounds identical to a loved one. In 2023, senior citizens were cheated out of roughly $3.4 billion in a range of financial crimes, according to the FBI data. The agency recently warned that AI has increased the “believability” or criminal scams by assisting with content creation and correcting human errors that might otherwise serve as warning signs of a trick. “So much of the fraud (欺诈)is based on psychology,” Chuck Herrin, field chief information security officer for F5, a security and fraud prevention firm, told CBS MoneyWatch. “They say things that bring about a fear-based emotional response because they know when humans get afraid, we get stupid and don’t exercise the best judgement.” Cybersecurity experts have a simple but effective recommendation for avoiding getting victimized by such scams: creating a family “safe word” to verify a family member or loved one’s identity. That means choosing a word or phrase that can’t be easily guessed. “It needs to be unique and should be something that’s difficult to guess,” James Scobey, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, told CBS MoneyWatch. “It shouldn’t be something that can be researched online about you or your family. Avoid street names, towns, phone numbers and individual names as part of a pass phrase.” A safe phrase, consisting of at least four words, offers a greater degree of security, he added. Using a safe word is a good first line of defense against scammers. So, any time you are asked for financial assistance, always ask for the safe word before transferring any money. 32. What is the threat posed by AI-enabled voice cloning tools? A. They help strangers create fake identities. B They trick victims into giving away money. C. They increase the believability of a grandchild. D. They prevent victims from recovering lost funds. 33. What is the psychological strategy used in fraud? A. Inspiring physical response. B. Assisting with content creation. C. Using fright to cause poor judgement. D. Interrupting the decision-making process. 34 What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Expose. B. Confirm. C. Suggest. D. Represent. 35. What is recommended when creating a safe phrase? A. It should be shared with new friends. B. It should be the same for every family member. C. It should be easily recalled by family members. D. It should avoid using personal details found online. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能技术加持的语音克隆工具给犯罪分子提供了新的诈骗手段，使其更容易模仿陌生人的声音，骗取受害者大额钱财，对此专家给出了一些防止受骗的方法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence-enabled voice cloning tools have made it easier for criminals to imitate strangers’ voices and trick victims into handing over large sums of money.(人工智能技术加持的语音克隆工具使犯罪分子更容易模仿陌生人的声音，并诱骗受害者交出大笔钱财。)”可知，AI语音克隆工具使犯罪分子更容易诱骗受害者交出大笔钱财。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘So much of the fraud is based on psychology,’ Chuck Herrin, field chief information security officer for F5, a security and fraud prevention firm, told CBS MoneyWatch. ‘They say things that bring about a fear-based emotional response because they know when humans get afraid, we get stupid and don’t exercise the best judgement.’(一家安全和防欺诈公司F5的现场首席信息安全官Chuck Herrin告诉CBS MoneyWatch:‘如此多的欺诈行为都是基于心理学的。’他们说一些会引起基于恐惧的情绪反应的话，因为他们知道，当人类感到害怕时，我们就会变傻，不能做出最好的判断。)”可知，诈骗犯使用的心理策略是利用恐惧导致人们做出错误的判断。故选C项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段的“Cybersecurity experts have a simple but effective recommendation for avoiding getting victimized by such scams: creating a family ‘safe word’ to verify a family member or loved one’s identity.(网络安全专家有一个简单但有效的建议，以避免成为此类骗局的受害者：创建一个家庭“安全词”来verify家庭成员或亲人的身份。）”可知，网络安全的建议就是创建一个家庭的“安全词”，这样做的目的是为了“确认”家庭成员或亲人的身份，故划线词意思是“确认”。故选B项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“‘It needs to be unique and should be something that’s difficult to guess,’ James Scobey, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, told CBS MoneyWatch. ‘It shouldn’t be something that can be researched online about you or your family. Avoid street names, towns, phone numbers and individual names as part of a pass phrase.’（Keeper Security的首席信息安全官James Scobey告诉CBS MoneyWatch:‘它必须是独一无二的，而且应该是很难猜到的。它不应该是可以在网上搜索到你或你家人的一些东西。避免使用街道名称、城镇名称、电话号码和个人姓名作为密码短语的一部分。’）”可知，创建安全短语时，应避免使用在网上能找到的个人信息。故选D项。 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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of “muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning. _____36_____ It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse. Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves. In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of inactivity. They are retained (保留), essentially waiting to be reactivated. If you fell off the fitness wagon (马车) during the pandemic, don’t be frustrated. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. _____37_____ In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to regain your former fitness. It depends on how fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been exercising. _____38_____ It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then intensity. _____39_____ Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. _____40_____ You will never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again. A. The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”. B. Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way. C. This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting. D. That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought. E. It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two. F. It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will have. G. All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. G 39. E 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了运动中肌肉记忆这一现象，肌肉记忆是你过去为学习一项运动所付出的所有努力的回报，你锻炼得越多，你的肌肉记忆就会储存得越多。即使健身中断，当重新健身，还是有明显的优势的。 【36题详解】 下文“It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.

(事实上，最近的一项研究表明，不到八周的再训练就能恢复你以前的健康)”介绍如果中断健身以后，不到八周的再训练就能恢复你以前的健康。结合选项，A项“The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”.

I made a resolution to find my stray (走失的) dog, Puppy-Rocky. In the morning, I could hear icy rain knocking the windows. I said a quick prayer for Puppy-Rocky. He was out there somewhere in the storm, and I could just feel it. Sure, it had been three months since he’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles (奇迹). That fall, Puppy-Rocky, my sweet dog, had disappeared from my parents’ house in California. He had been staying with them while I was between apartments. At the time, I lived and worked in New York City. I was staying with friends until I signed my lease (租约) on a new place. Puppy-Rocky had gotten out of my parents’ house two days before I was set to fly back home to pick him up. My mom and I spent that entire visit searching for him. Mom was the family’s resident “realist”, which meant she spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “He’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found him,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Mom always supported me, but this time she doubted. She could have done with a little more faith! Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I believed I’d see my Puppy-Rocky again. His barks never faded away. He’d been homeless when I first met him, a naughty little dog that had survived all on his own. If any dog could do the impossible, it was my Puppy-Rocky. Even after I returned to New York City without him and the weeks stretched into months, deep down I had this feeling that we’d be reunited. Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Puppy-Rocky’s carrier, loaded it into the car, and then asked my mom to drive me to the shelter for the homeless dogs, hoping he’d been found. “Dave, you have to be realistic,” my mom said as we headed to the garage. “He’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find him.” 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。 “Don’t you believe in New Year miracles?” I asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I stepped into the last room of the shelter, a familiar bark came into my ears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： “Don’t you believe in New Year miracles?” I asked. Rolling the eyes, Mom climbed into the driver’s seat, mumbling to herself, “There’s just no way. You’re not going to find him. Be realistic.” “Mom! It’s my Puppy-Rocky! Promise! I’m sure I will see him again!!!” I kept yelling on the way to the shelter. Upon arriving there, we walked through rows of cages from room to room. I carefully examined dogs of all colors, shapes and sizes. None! All our efforts were in vain. Hopeless as it might be, I went on searching, followed by my mom, who had been trying to prepare me for the worst. When I stepped into the last room of the shelter, a familiar bark came into my ears. Following the sound, I spotted a little dog wagging the tail towards me. It was him? I double-checked it… Exactly, my Puppy-Rocky! It was bonier than ever before. Excited tears welling up, I immediately opened the cage door. He jumped into my arms as usual. I held him closely as Mom looked on, mouth wide open. It was indeed the season of miracle: three months after separation, we reunited. Puppy-Rocky’s return did let me, and especially my mom, firmly believe: we can do with more faith! 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在新年之际决心寻找自己走失已久的宠物狗Puppy-Rocky的故事。作者回忆起狗狗在父母家走失的经过，以及自己和母亲当时寻找狗狗的努力。尽管母亲对找回狗狗持悲观态度，但作者始终坚信自己能够再次见到Puppy-Rocky，因为他对这只曾经流浪、独自生存下来的小狗有着深厚的感情和信任。在新年假期期间，作者决定再次展开寻找，带着狗狗的笼子前往流浪狗收容所，希望能找到他。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容““你不相信新年奇迹吗？”我问。”可知，第一段可描写作者在收容所仔细寻找小狗的经过，妈妈则不断劝他做好最坏的打算。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我走进收容所的最后一个房间时，一阵熟悉的叫声传入我的耳朵。”可知，第二段可描写找到小狗后作者和小狗愉快的心情以及经过这件事的感悟。 2.续写线索：仔细寻找小狗——妈妈试图劝阻——找到小狗——感到激动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①叫喊：yell/shout ②确定：be sure/be bound to ③检查：examine/check ④继续：go on/carry on 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②坚定地：firmly/steadily 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hopeless as it might be, I went on searching, followed by my mom, who had been trying to prepare me for the worst.（运用了as引导的让步状语从句，并使用了部分倒装，who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Excited tears welling up, I immediately opened the cage door.（运用了现在分词的独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 合肥九中2024-2025学年第二学期限时训练 高三年级英语试卷 (时间：120分钟 总分：150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the speakers do next?

My son Nick had been eager to try rock climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-old mother, I am not a physical person at all. But I still decided to join him in a training class. The first time I reached the top and returned safely to the ground, I was flooded with a mix of emotions. My body trembled with adrenaline (肾上腺素), as I had pushed myself harder than I ever thought possible, but I had accomplished it. Four months into my climbing journey, I had an accident while bouldering (攀岩). I’m not sure what exactly happened, but I believe, my foot missed a hold on the way down. I didn’t land properly and injured my lower back. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I feared that I would never return to rock climbing or bouldering and said to Nick sadly, “A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn’t let that happen.” It took nearly three months before I felt strong enough to give it another try. Nick was supportive throughout the process. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick down. He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely. Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits. 24. Why did the author join rock climbing at first? A. To improve her physical condition. B. To step out of comfort zone. C. To keep her son company. D. To seek adventure and enjoyment. 25. The author’s words to her son in paragraph 2 imply that _______. A. she feared losing self-identity gained from climbing B. she valued the new insight developed from climbing C. she was concerned about disconnecting with Nick D. she was eager to demonstrate her physical capabilities 26. What was the key to the author’s successful try after recovery? A. Her experience. B. Her passion. C. Doctors’ encouragement. D. Nick’s backing. 27. What is the main message conveyed by the author through her rock climbing experience? A. Parental support is crucial in achieving one’s goals. B. Persistence is the key to conquering fears in extreme sports. C. Overcoming physical limitations leads to personal fulfillment. D. Embracing challenges fosters both self-growth and family bonds. C Women were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They commit far fewer murders. They are less likely to favor strikes. For some scholars, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful. But European history suggests otherwise, according to political scientists Oeindrila Dube and S. P. Harish. They studied how often European rulers went to war between 1480 and 1913, and found that states ruled by queens were 27% more likely to get involved in wars than those ruled by kings. This was not all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared: “No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything.” Shortly after becoming king, he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia province. Despite years of war, she never recovered it. But perceived weakness is not the whole story. Queens, the researchers found, were more likely to gain new territory. Catherine the Great expanded her empire by some 200,000 square miles. And married queens were more aggressive than single queens or kings, whether single or married. The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances (联盟), making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives’ states. Second, unlike most kings, queens often gave their husbands a lot of power, putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy. During the 1740s, Maria Theresa’s husband, Francis I, reformed the Austrian economy and raised money for the armed forces while his wife ruled much of central Europe. Prince Albert was Queen Victoria’s most trusted adviser, shaping her foreign policy until his death in 1861. This division of labor, the authors suggest, freed up time for queens to pursue more aggressive policies. The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. The number of countries led by women has more than doubled since 2000, but there is plenty of room for improvement: the current level of 15 represents less than 10% of the total. A world in which more women took power might be more equal. Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question. 28. Why did Frederick the Great attack Maria Theresa soon after she became ruler? A. He opposed her dislike of starting wars. B. He wanted Austria’s important trade roads. C. He believed female leaders were easier to defeat. D. He blamed her for losing the land in the past wars. 29. Why were married queens more likely to gain new territory? A. Because their military alliances picked fights for them. B. Because they were ambitious and aggressive by nature. C. Because they centralized all power into their own hands. D. Because their husbands were supportive in state governing. 30. What is the purpose of mentioning the two female leaders in the last paragraph? A. To imply there is room for improvement in gender equality. B. To indicate more females become leaders in modern times. C. To suggest female leaders have their share of wars in modern times. D. To illustrate female leaders cannot prevent wars in modern times. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Women in Power: A Promise for Peace? B. The Historical Impact of European Queens C. The Role of Male Advisers in Female Leadership D. Married Queens vs. Single Queens: Who Rules Better? D Artificial intelligence-enabled voice cloning tools have made it easier for criminals to imitate strangers’ voices and trick victims into handing over large sums of money. For example, a scammer might target a victim posing as their grandchild and claiming they require cash fast. Older people who might not be familiar with new technologies such as AI can be particularly subject to these types of scams, particularly when the caller on the other line sounds identical to a loved one. In 2023, senior citizens were cheated out of roughly $3.4 billion in a range of financial crimes, according to the FBI data. The agency recently warned that AI has increased the “believability” or criminal scams by assisting with content creation and correcting human errors that might otherwise serve as warning signs of a trick. “So much of the fraud (欺诈)is based on psychology,” Chuck Herrin, field chief information security officer for F5, a security and fraud prevention firm, told CBS MoneyWatch. “They say things that bring about a fear-based emotional response because they know when humans get afraid, we get stupid and don’t exercise the best judgement.” Cybersecurity experts have a simple but effective recommendation for avoiding getting victimized by such scams: creating a family “safe word” to verify a family member or loved one’s identity. That means choosing a word or phrase that can’t be easily guessed. “It needs to be unique and should be something that’s difficult to guess,” James Scobey, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, told CBS MoneyWatch. “It shouldn’t be something that can be researched online about you or your family. Avoid street names, towns, phone numbers and individual names as part of a pass phrase.” A safe phrase, consisting of at least four words, offers a greater degree of security, he added. Using a safe word is a good first line of defense against scammers. So, any time you are asked for financial assistance, always ask for the safe word before transferring any money. 32. What is the threat posed by AI-enabled voice cloning tools? A They help strangers create fake identities. B. They trick victims into giving away money. C. They increase the believability of a grandchild. D. They prevent victims from recovering lost funds. 33. What is the psychological strategy used in fraud? A. Inspiring physical response. B. Assisting with content creation. C. Using fright to cause poor judgement. D. Interrupting the decision-making process. 34. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Expose. B. Confirm. C. Suggest. D. Represent. 35. What is recommended when creating a safe phrase? A. It should be shared with new friends. B. It should be the same for every family member. C. It should be easily recalled by family members. D. It should avoid using personal details found online. 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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of “muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning. _____36_____ It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse. Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves. In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of inactivity. They are retained (保留), essentially waiting to be reactivated. If you fell off the fitness wagon (马车) during the pandemic, don’t be frustrated. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. _____37_____ In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to regain your former fitness. It depends on how fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been exercising. _____38_____ It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then intensity. _____39_____ Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. _____40_____ You will never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again. A. The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”. B. Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way. C. This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting. D. That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought. E It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two. F. It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will have. G. All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme. 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。 The side door of the aircraft was opened, and a brisk wind rushed in.

I made a resolution to find my stray (走失的) dog, Puppy-Rocky. In the morning, I could hear icy rain knocking the windows. I said a quick prayer for Puppy-Rocky. He was out there somewhere in the storm, and I could just feel it. Sure, it had been three months since he’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles (奇迹). That fall, Puppy-Rocky, my sweet dog, had disappeared from my parents’ house in California. He had been staying with them while I was between apartments. At the time, I lived and worked in New York City. I was staying with friends until I signed my lease (租约) on a new place. Puppy-Rocky had gotten out of my parents’ house two days before I was set to fly back home to pick him up. My mom and I spent that entire visit searching for him. Mom was the family’s resident “realist”, which meant she spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “He’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found him,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Mom always supported me, but this time she doubted. She could have done with a little more faith! Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I believed I’d see my Puppy-Rocky again. His barks never faded away. He’d been homeless when I first met him, a naughty little dog that had survived all on his own. If any dog could do the impossible, it was my Puppy-Rocky. Even after I returned to New York City without him and the weeks stretched into months, deep down I had this feeling that we’d be reunited. Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Puppy-Rocky’s carrier, loaded it into the car, and then asked my mom to drive me to the shelter for the homeless dogs, hoping he’d been found. “Dave, you have to be realistic,” my mom said as we headed to the garage. “He’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find him.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 “Don’t you believe in New Year miracles?” I asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I stepped into the last room of the shelter, a familiar bark came into my ears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
