驻马店高级中学 我努力 我骄傲 我自豪 英语答案 A) ACC B) DBAA C) BCDA D) DDBA A篇 导语：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个面向中学生的科学暑期项目。 21. 细节理解题。根据Program 1部分中“Explore your future career path and accelerate your success with personalised academic guidance and high level instruction from the world's most accomplised educators.(在世界上最有成就的教育工作者的个性化学术指导和高水平教学下，探索你未来的职业道路，加速你的成功)”和Program 2部分中“If students are interested in a physician or healthcare career, Outset might be a great choice. We help students build confidence and prepare for the pre med path.(如果学生对医生或医疗保健职业感兴趣，Outset可能是一个不错的选择。我们帮助学生建立信心，为医学预科之路做准备)”可知，这两个项目都有与职业相关的探索。故选A项。 22. 细节理解题。根据Program 3部分中“Wall Street 101+ Investing Trading BudgetingBeyond-3 week Finance and Life Skills program for grades 9-12.（华尔街101+投资与交易+预算及其他——面向9至12年级学生的为期三周的金融和生活技能项目)”可知，Program3是关于金融方面的项目，所以对金融感兴趣的学生最可能被这个项目吸引。故选C项。 23. 细节理解题。根据Program4: Polygiene Summer Research Program部分中“Become are searcher with one on one guidance from a PhD candidate from a Top University.(在顶尖大学的博士生的一对一指导下成为一名研究员)”可知，Polygiene暑期研究项目的特点是个性化指导。故选C项。 B篇 导语：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的祖父患有阿尔茨海默病，家人照顾困难，作者为解决问题发明压力传感器设备监测祖父行动，以保障其安全。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Over the past12 years, his worsening condition and his wandering have been worrying us. My aunt struggled to stay awake at night to watch over him, but often failed. Concerned about my aunt's well being and my grandfather's safety,I searched widely for a solution, but in vain.(在过去的12年里，他不断恶化的病情和四处游荡的行为一直让我们担忧。我姑姑晚上努力保持清醒照看他，但经常做不到。出于对姑姑健康和祖父安全的担忧，我四处寻找解决办法，但都徒劳无功)"和第二段中"Then two years ago, while looking after my grandfather, I was impressed by the moment when his foot landed on the floor. Why don’t I put a pressure sensor on the bottom of his foot?可知照顾祖父的艰难促使作者寻求解决办法。故选D. 25. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once he stepped onto the floor and out of the bed, the pressure sensor would detect an increase in pressure caused by body weight and then wirelessly send an alarm to the caregiver's smartphone.(一旦他下床踩到地板上，压力传感器就会检测到体重造成的压力增加，然后将警报无线发送到护理人员的智能手机上)”可知，检测病人脚下压力的目的是监测他的行动。故选B项。 26. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After testing different materials like rubber, which was too thick, I decided to print a film sensor with pressure sensitive ink particles(颗粒).（在测试了像橡胶这样不同的材料后，发现橡胶太厚了，我决定用压敏油墨颗粒打印一个薄膜传感器)”可知，橡胶太厚了，所以作者选择打印薄膜传感器，因为它很薄。故选A项。 27. 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Over the past 12 years, his worsening condition and his wandering have been worrying us.(在过去的12年里，他不断恶化的病情和四处游荡的行为一直让我们担忧)”以及第四段中“Having tested it on my grandfather with 100% success in detecting his wandering(在我祖父身上测试时，它100%成功地检测到了他的游荡行为)”可知，文章主要围绕作者为防止患有阿尔茨海默病的祖父走失，发明压力传感器设备来保障其安全的故事。故A项“Protecting Wandering Loved Ones(保护四处游荡的亲人)”能概括文章主旨，最适合做标题。故选A项。 C篇 导语：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了多金属结核在深海产生氧气的新发现。 28. 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Until now,it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis, a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that idea and raises new questions about the origins of life itself.(直到现在，人们一直认为氧气仅通过光合作用产生，而光合作用是一个需要阳光的过程。但这一发现让这种观点受到质疑，同时也引发了有关生命起源本身的新问题。)”可知，这一发现的重要意义是对氧气的来源这一观点产生了怀疑，动摇了关于氧气来源的观点。故选B。 29. 细节理解题。由文章第三段“The research team in Scotland, believe oxygen is being produced by electrically charged material called polymetallic nodules(多金属结核)，which range in size from a small particle to about the dimensions of a potato.(苏格兰的研究团队认为，氧气是由一种名为多金属结核的带电物质产生的，这些多金属结核的大小不一，小的如同微小的颗粒，大的则和土豆的尺寸差不多。)"和第四段"These nodules-"effectively batteries in a rock,”Sweet man said-may use their electric charge to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called seawater electrolysis(电解).(Sweetman说，这些结核“实际上就是岩石中的电池”，它们可能利用自身的电荷，通过一种叫做海水电解的过程，将海水分解成氢气和氧气。)"可知，深海中的海水电解是由多金属结核实现的。故选C。 30. 细节理解题。由文章第五段“Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected samples to test above ground, and they came up with the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the poly metallic nodules.(研究人员在海底进行了测试，并收集了样品在地面上进行测试，他们得出了相同的结果：多金属结核附近的氧气水平增加了。)`可知，对结核的关注是为了解释为什么结核附近的氧气更多。故选D。 31. 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“A few years ago, a team of marine(海洋)biologists went back to those areas mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,"Geiger said. "And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, plenty of life.”(Geiger说：“几年前，一组海洋生物学家回到了40年前曾被开采过的区域，发现那里基本上没有生命存在。而在距离该区域左右几百米的地方，多金属结核未被开采过，那里却有着丰富的生命。”)”可知，在被开采过的地区几乎没有生命，而在结核未被开采过的地区有很多生命，由此可推断出在开采结核时必须尊重海洋生态。故选A。 D篇 语篇导读: 本文围绕 2024年牛津词典年度词汇 “脑腐brain rot” 展开。先是介绍其定义，即因过度沉迷网络内容致精神状态下滑。接着阐述它虽非官方诊断病症，但是会引发认知、情感问题。最后着重讲对抗 “brain rot” 的办法，如改变数字媒体习惯等，整体呈现其负面后果与解决措施。 【 解析 】 32. D。推理判断题。文章开篇提到The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content, 沉迷于网络内容而使得精神健康方面出现下滑情况。A选项说它是医生正式确诊的一种严重疾病，文中明确指出它并非是官方诊断的病症（Though not an official diagnosis），所以 A 错误。B选项强调使用数字平台导致认知能力丧失，“brain rot” 主要侧重于精神状态受网络内容过度消费的影响，并非单纯指认知能力丧失，该表述不准确，所以 B 错误。C选项说的是过度使用数字设备对身体健康的负面影响，而文中着重讲的是对精神健康、认知等方面 的影响，并非身体健康，所以 C 错误。故选D。 33. D。推理判断题。从Adam Leventhal 所说的话“There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete in a digital market” 以及“Digital content and platforms that win the arms race are increasingly addictive. They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” 可以看出，数字内容和平台的发展存在一种竞争，而那些在竞争中获胜、能吸引人们注意力的数字内容和平台越来越容易让人上瘾，还会让人们接触到不健康内容。这都表明了数字内容和平台的发展带来了一些负面的影响。故选D。 34. B。推理判断题。根据文章第四段语境，提到要对抗 “brain rot” 需要做出改变，Manwell 建议改变数字媒体使 用习惯，比如休息一下不看屏幕 (taking screen breaks)、限制某些应用的使用，还有一些应用可以追踪屏幕使用时间并且 “enforce digital detox”，结合前文提到的减少屏幕使用时间等相关建议，可以推断出 “digital detox” 意思是从数字设备使用中暂时脱离、休息一下，也就是暂别数字设备。故选B。 35．A 。主旨大意题。文章先是详细阐述了 “brain rot” 是什么以及它会引发认知和情感方面的问题等一系列负面后果，比如影响注意力、学习、记忆等，后面又着重介绍了为对抗“brain rot” 可以采取的一些措施， 像改变数字媒体使用习惯、用其他有益活动替代屏幕时间等。所以整体主题是围绕 “brain rot” 的危害以及解决办法展开的。故选A。 七选五 【答案】 FAECG 【语篇导读】文章讲述去健身房锻炼身体、做运动对一些人来说是生活中不可缺少的一部分，但也有人认为 去健身房就是浪费时间，自我折磨。假设把做运动和虚拟现实游戏结合起来，那么也许一种更有趣 的锻炼身体方式就产生了。本文介绍了未来健身房里可能会使用的虚拟健身方式和器材。 【 解析 】 36. F。前文描述去健身房很累、无聊且锻炼过程繁琐，后文说人们为了看到锻炼效果还是坚持。F 选项 “And yet, despite all this, people still go to the gym because it actually works.”中 “all this” 指称前文提到的健身房锻炼的缺点，“still go to the gym” 与后文逻辑连贯，说明尽管有诸多问题人们还是因为有效果而去健身房，所以选 F。 37. A。前文提出 “是否有一种方法能缓解锻炼的无聊并获得良好锻炼效果”，A 选项 “This is where virtual reality (VR) may help.” 中 “this” 对应前文的问题，“virtual reality (VR)” 引出下文关于 VR 在锻炼中的作用，与前文问题形成同构关系，即提出问题 - 给出可能的解决方案，所以选 A。 38. E。 后文提到 “In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.”，E选项 “VR games require players to move their bodies in order to control the game.” 中 “move their bodies” 与后文复现，且都在说 VR 游戏中玩家需要移动身体来玩游戏，逻辑连贯，所以选 E。 39. C。前文说 “VR 帮助人们健身的潜力被一家公司注意到”，C选项 “They have developed a VR system specifically for exercise.” 中 “They” 指称前文的 “one company”，“developed a VR system specifically for exercise” 与前文提到的潜力相呼应，说明公司的具体行动，所以选 C。 40. G。前文提到设备昂贵且有安全问题，G 选项 “But for those who are looking for a new way to exercise, it may be worth the investment.” 中 “but” 表转折，与前文形成对比，指出对于寻求新锻炼方式的人来说可能值得投资，逻辑合理，所以选G。 第三部分 第一节 完形填空 【答案】 41-45 DCACC 46-50 BDBDA 51-55 CBBAA 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了小作者想要在店里买一只宠物，他伪造了一封信，表示母亲允许买宠物。事情败露，作为惩罚，妈妈要求他给亲戚写信，作者和他舅舅通信多年，直到舅舅去 世时，妈妈很后悔没有和舅舅多多联系，得知孩子一直和舅舅通信感到很欣慰。作者认为，通信可以增进亲情。 【解析】 【41题】D 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我还记得宠物老鼠是多么受孩子们的欢迎，当我决定买一只宠物时，宠物店主在没收到我父母表示他们同意的信之前不卖给我。A. duty责任，义务；B. invitation 邀请；C. experience经验；D. permission同意，许可。 【42题】C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：所以，用最整洁的笔迹，我伪造了一封信。A.rarest最珍贵的；B. craziest最疯狂的；C. neatest最整洁的；D. hardest最困难的；最硬的。 【43题】A 考查动词短语辨析。句意：店主很快识破了我的笔迹，让我联系母亲确认情况。A.saw through 看透，识破；B. dealt with处理；C. looked into调查，研究；D. went over仔细检查。 【44题】C 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我的把戏很快就失败了，一切都搞砸了。A. worked奏效；运转；B. cleared放晴；通过；C. failed失败；D. settled结束；定居。 【45题】C 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我妈妈非常生气，觉得惩罚应该与罪行相称。A.appointment 约会，约定；B. game游戏，比赛；C. crime罪行；D. rule规章。 【46题】B 考查副词词义辨析。句意：由于我的文笔很差，需要改进，她让我给几个随机挑选的亲戚写信。A. regularly定期地；B. randomly随机地；C. continuously连续不断地；D.secretly秘密地。 【47题】D 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的惩罚结束。A. test测验；B. course课程；C.deal交易；D. punishment惩罚。 【48题】B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：结果我发现叔叔是最有趣的人A. strong-willed意志坚强的；B. fascinating极有吸引力的；C. nervous紧张的；神经质的；D. abnormal反常的 【49题】D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后如晴天霹雳一般，他突然去世了。A. arrived到达；B. forgot 忘记；C. changed改变；D. died去世。 【50题】A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我妈妈接了电话，她很震惊。她深感遗憾，因为他们的生活忙碌，工作繁重，已经多年没有说过话了。A. regretted后悔，遗憾；B. questioned怀疑，询问；C. appreciated 感激；D. reviewed评估；复习。 【51题】C 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我上楼拿出一盒子信，最后一封是他去世前几天写的。A. toys 玩具；B. secrets秘密；C. letters信件；D. belongings所有物。 【52题】B 考查介词短语辨析。句意：我妈妈开始读这些信，她知道虽然她一直和叔叔没有联系，但 我通过给他写信已经和他亲近了，这让她松了一口气，也让她平静了下来。A.behind the scene幕后；B. in touch保持联系；C. out of sight看不见；D. on board在船/飞机/火车上；支持。 【53题】B 考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. cheered欢呼；B. relieved缓和痛苦；减轻；C. saved拯 救；保留；D. convinced说服。 【54题】A 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我经常想，童年时的一次顽皮的犯罪行为，是如何让我们之间的通信如此丰富，并持续了许多年的。A. naughty顽皮的；不妥当的；B.interesting有趣的；C. natural 天然的；意料之中的；D. typical典型的，一贯的。 【55题】A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. stretched延伸，伸长；B. followed跟随；C.survived 幸存；D. worked工作；运转。 第二节 语法填空 【语篇导读】支付宝已经拓展了国家的支付服务市场，其新产品“支付宝碰一碰”近日已在广东省广州市上线。 【56题】applying 考查非谓语动词。句意：广州市内成千上万家商店和餐馆已开始使用该服务，全国约有10 万家餐馆(包括部分麦当劳门店)申请开始使用该新技术。现在分词作介词with后宾语restaurants的宾语补足语。 【57题】which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：凭借这项服务，此服务由蚂蚁集团的支付部门在 7 月推出，用户只需保持手机屏幕锁屏，然后将智能手机靠近收银机就能进行支付。非限制性定语从句，先行词service为物，用which引导。 【58题】unlocked 考查非谓语动词。句意：该服务于7月由蚂蚁集团支付部门推出，用户只需保持手机屏幕解 锁，然后将智能手机轻触收银台，即可完成支付。过去分词作及物动词keeping后宾语screen的宾语补足语，unlock与screen构成被动关系。 【59题】visually 考查副词。句意：许多年轻人喜欢这种新型支付方式，而老年人和视障人士现在无需寻找 支付码即可完成支付，这大大降低了使用移动支付的门槛。副词visually作状语修饰形容词damaged“ 受损的”。 【60题】 to 考查介词。句意：同上。barrier意为“障碍，阻力”，后加介词to。 【61题】a 考查冠词。句意：为了优化支付服务，今年早些时候国务院发布了一份指导的意见，重点为 老年人和外国游客提供更高质量、更有效率和更便捷的支付服务。单数可数名词guideline之前用不定冠词表示泛指意义，“一份指导意见” 。 【62题】To meet 考查非谓语动词。句意：指导意见强调，需要扩大银行卡支付的受理率，以满足老年人和外 国人使用银行卡的需求。不定式作目的状语。 【63题】stresses/has stressed 考查谓语动词。句意：同上。句子描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语 The guideline 是单数， stress 用第三人称单数形式 stresses。也可以是：强调指导方针在今年发布之后到现在这个时间段内已经产生了 “强调需求” 这个动作，突出对现在的影响，即现在已经明确了要扩大银行卡支付受理率这一需求。故也可以用现在完成时。 【64题】options 考查名词复数。句意：大型商业区、旅游景区、酒店、医院等关键场所必须支持多样化的 支付方式，包括移动支付、银行卡支付和现金支付。根据diversified可知此处用名词的复数形式。 【65题】openness/opening 考查名词。句意：支付宝碰一下！产品经理高征说：“我们将继续聚焦广州等重点城市，优化产品体验，通过合作扩大场景开放，并开展多样化的运营活动，激发当地消费活力。”及物动词 expand后用名词openness或者opening 作宾语，意为“开放”。 第三部分 写作 第一节 应用文 【答案】Salon: Smart Living and Interpersonal Communication Last Friday witnessed a fascinating salon held by our school in the Lecture Hall, whose theme was “Smart Living and Interpersonal Communication”.

I called out to him,“Dad， wait!” He turned around,a bit surprised but also relieved to see me. “You okay, love?” he asked， concern etching his face. I nodded， my heart pounding in my chest. “I just. .. I want to make sure you're okay,” I stammered， trying to hide my worry. He smiled gently, patting my hand. “I'm glad you're here,” he said, his voice softening. We walked together, the fireflies tiny lights a comforting presence in the dark. It was in these moments，walking side by side, that I began to see him not just as my distant father but as a man with his own stories and struggles and the distance that had once felt so vast was now beginning to close, one step at a time. A couple of days later， my dad took a drive around Jamaica with me.Sitting beside him in the car，I listened as he spoke-not just about the landscapes, but about his life. He pointed out the places he had explored as a young man, the rivers he used to swim in, and the small villages where he had made friends. Every wave he exchanged with passersby,showed me a side of him I had never seen before. Slowly， my frustration began to fade, replaced by curiosity, and then admiration. For the first time, I saw Jamaica not just as a place but as a part of himhis past, his home, his identity. And in embracing his world, I found myself understanding him in a way I never had before. Maybe love didn't always have to be spoken; sometimes, it was simply about being present, about choosing to see someone for who they truly were. 高二英语试卷 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$驻马店高级中学 我努力 我骄傲 我自豪 驻马店市重点高中2024-2025学年高三下期第三次考试英 语 命题：田彦霞 审题：杜丽丽 注意事项：1.答卷前，请考生务必把自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 4.满分：150分 考试时间：150分钟 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分 ） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Science Summer Programs Let your inner scientist come out to play and explore the wonders of the natural world: take part in one of the many science summer programs available.

It was the first instance that informed us that he had Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病). Over the past 12 years, his worsening condition and his wandering have been worrying us. My aunt struggled to stay awake at night to watch over him, but often failed. Concerned about my aunt’s well-being and my grandfather’s safety, I searched widely for a solution, but in vain. Then two years ago, while looking after my grandfather, I was impressed by the moment when his foot landed on the floor. Why don’t I put a pressure sensor on the bottom of his foot? Once he stepped onto the floor and out of the bed, the pressure sensor would detect an increase in pressure caused by body weight and then wirelessly send an alarm to the caregiver’s smartphone. My desire to create a sensor-based technology was born. When laying out my plan, I faced three main challenges. First, I had to create a wearable sensor. After testing different materials like rubber, which was too thick, I decided to print a film sensor with pressure-sensitive ink particles (颗粒). Next, I had to design a wearable wireless circuit. Thankfully, I was able to find out about the Bluetooth low energy technology, which produces little power and can be driven by a coin-sized battery. Lastly, I learnt to code (编码) a smartphone app to turn the caregiver’s smartphone into a remote monitor. Integrating these components, I successfully created two models: a built-in sock sensor and a re-attachable one. Having tested it on my grandfather with 100% success in detecting his wandering, I beta-tested it at California care facilities last summer. Now, I’m using response from tests to improve it into a marketable product. One thing I’ll never forget is when my device first caught my grandfather’s wandering at night. At that moment, I was really struck by the power of technology to change lives for the better. 24. What drove the author to seek a solution? A. His knowledge about Alzheimer’s. B. The encouragement from his aunt. C. His worries about treating patients. D. The struggle of tending his grandfather. 25. What is the purpose of detecting the pressure under a patient’s feet? A. To measure his weight. B. To monitor his motion. C. To record his walking pace. D. To estimate his health status. 26. Why did the author choose a printed film sensor? A. It's thin. B. It's energy-saving. C. It's coin-sized. D. It's wireless. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. Protecting Wandering Loved Ones B. How Technology Empowers Lives C. The Challenges of Alzheimer's Disease Care D. A Family's Struggle with Alzheimer's Disease C Researchers exploring the lightless landscape of the Pacific Ocean floor think they’ve observed how oxygen is produced on Earth. Until now, it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis, a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that idea and raises new questions about the origins of life itself. The research team in Scotland, believe oxygen is being produced by electrically charged material called polymetallic nodules (多金属结核), which range in size from a small particle to about the dimensions of a potato. These nodules – “effectively batteries in a rock,” Sweetman said – may use their electric charge to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called seawater electrolysis (电解). Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected samples to test aboveground, and they came up with the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the polymetallic nodules. Seawater can be split into hydrogen and oxygen with 1.5 volts (伏特) of electricity, which is the amount in an AA battery. Researchers found that some of the nodules possessed as much as 0.95 volts of electricity, and multiple nodules together produced enough voltages. Polymetallic nodules contain metals such as manganese, nickel and cobalt, which can be used to make the lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics, appliances and electric vehicles. Franz Geiger, a Northwestern University chemistry professor, said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in an area of the Pacific Ocean called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone to meet global energy demands for decades after. But mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not remove oxygen for life forms in that zone. “A few years ago, a team of marine biologists went back to those areas mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,” Geiger said. “And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, plenty of life.” 28. Why is the discovery significant? A. It casts doubt on the existence of “dark oxygen”. B. It shakes the view on the source of oxygen. C. It shows the process of photosynthesis（光合作用）. D. It displays the origin of life itself. 29.What enables seawater electrolysis in the deep sea? A. Photosynthesis. B. Sunlight reaching the seafloor. C. Polymetallic nodules. D. Chemical reactions in seawater. 30. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 6? A. To describe the difficulty in splitting seawater. B. To demonstrate how powerful AA batteries are. C. To stress the practicality（实用性） of electricity generation. D. To explain why more oxygen exists near the nodules. 31. What can we infer from Geiger’s words? A. Marine ecology must be respected while mining nodules. B. The Clarion-Clipperton Zone has no life due to mining. C. Marine biologists oppose mining in the ocean. D. Mining nodules is beneficial for marine life. D We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens—an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive (认知的) health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. “There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete in a digital market,” says Adam Leventhal, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Digital content and platforms that win the arms race are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” Though not an official diagnosis(诊断), “brain rot” can cause cognitive and emotional problems. “Too much screen time can negatively affect attention, concentration, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and social functioning,” Dr. Manwell says. “Brain rot” occurs as screen time replaces activities beneficial to the brain, such as exercise and socializing. Passive, rapid scrolling while multitasking or trying to work or study at the same time also contributes, resulting in divided and reduced attentional resources and leading to poorer learning and memory capabilities. Manwell says, “There are often also corresponding effects on the brain such as reduced gray matter and white matter, leading to damaged processing capacity and efficiency.” To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and enforce digital detox. For long-term improvement, Manwell recommends replacing screen time with activities like meditation, exercise, and learning new skills. If screen use is work-related, find alternatives like printing materials or having in-person meetings. When on a screen, focus merely on the task to decline multitasking’s negative effects. Overall, being aware and making lifestyle adjustments can help prevent and reverse（逆转）the impact of “brain rot”. 32. According to the text, what do we know about “brain rot” ? A. A kind of serious disease officially diagnosed by doctors. B. The loss of cognitive abilities caused by using digital platforms. C. The negative impact of overusing digital devices on physical health. D. The decline of mental well-being due to overconsuming online materials. 33. What can we infer from Adam Leventhal’s words? A.

It takes time and effort, and it can be extremely boring. 36 In order to see any significant change from any one exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets, for about three months. Then there’s aerobic (有氧的) exercise. For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a running machine. But what if there were a way to ease the boredom of exercise while still getting a good work out? 37 In the past, “playing video games was a sedentary (久坐不动的) experience,” says Jo Stauffer of the VR Health Institute, “but VR changes all of that”. He says that the room-scale experience engages your body in full. 38 In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, deliberately or not, result in their player ‘getting a good sweat on’ if played for enough time. The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by one company. 39 . They are making a brand new machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. 40 A.This is where virtual reality (VR) may help. B. The answer lies in the world of virtual reality innovation. C. They have developed a VR system specifically for exercise. D. VR games are becoming more and more popular among young people. E. VR games require players to move their bodies in order to control the game. F. And yet, despite all this, people still go to the gym because it actually works. G. But for those who are looking for a new way to exercise, it may be worth the investment. 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。 I still remember when pet mice were popular among kids and I decided to buy one.

I was 15. It had been nine years since I last saw my dad. To mark our reunion in the country of my birth, my dad, who adored adventures, wanted me to “visit all your people and see every corner of your beautiful home," so he took us on a road trip. However, admiring Jamaica's landscape was the last thing on my mind as I sat in the back of the Beetle, angry at my dad because he had dropped in and out of our childhood. My aim was to get to know him better.Not Jamaica. Once, when he was unwell, I had to take the bus back to Kingston later than usual instead of him driving me. The sun was sinking, and the sky was darkening. “You sure you're OK to walk up the shortcut to the bus stop?” he asked, sensing my city-girl nerves at the prospect of navigating a lightless country path. “I'm fine," I lied. He rolled his eyes, coughed, put on his jacket and shoes, and led me up the path. As we walked, with leaves rustling(沙沙作响), he found the energy to give me a mini biology lecture on the luminescent(发冷光的)powers of the fireflies and instructed me to “spot their guiding lights.”Before I knew it, we were safe at our destination. “Love you, be safe," he waved to me, before heading back down the dark track, fireflies flashing around him. "Bye, take care," I replied. Loving him too, but not always able to say it. 注意: 续写词数应为150左右 Para1 However, as he started to walk back down the dark track, I felt a sudden urge to follow. Para2 A couple of days later, my dad took a drive around Jamaica with me. 高二英语试卷 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
