A recent study in Current Biology emphasized that the migration and reproduction of the endangered Greater Spotted Eagle may have been influenced by the Ukraine crisis. The Greater Spotted Eagle is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list. They migrate through Ukraine between wintering areas in southern Europe and East Africa and key breeding grounds in southern Belarus in spring. The research team studied 19 migrating GPS-tagged Greater Spotted Eagles in March and April of 2022. The flight altitude during this period was relatively low, about 350 meters, exposing them to regions of intense human conflicts. Their data suggested that increased military activity like jets, tanks and other weapons could disturb the eagles. When exposed to such events, the eagles might change their flight path to escape. The researchers found that while migrating through Ukraine, the eagles deviated 10 percent more from the previous route compared to the past few years, which resulted in longer migration distances. Also, the birds made about 60 percent fewer stops during the migration. Human conflicts can affect the eagle’s decisions about when to take breaks during their journey, leading them to choose to keep moving even when they might need to rest. More notably, the eagles, which breed relatively slowly, face disturbance that impacts chick care and breeding success. “Armed conflicts can have wide-ranging influence on the environment, including changes in animal behavior,” said Charlie Russell, a researcher from the University of East Anglia, UK, in a statement to the journal Cell. Russel stated that animals have long been harmed by human armed conflicts and military activities. For example, during the Sudanese Civil War between 1983 and 2005 South Sudan’s elephant population fell from 100,000 to 5,000. A large number of animal protection organizations have carried out disaster relief work to rescue, feed, treat and support animals during conflicts. However, very few have the resources to tackle the root problems. International humanitarian law lacks clear rules to relieve animal suffering in armed conflicts. 4. How did armed conflicts affect Greater Spotted Eagle? A. By changing their behaviors. B. By destroying their living environment. C. By breaking their eating habits. D. By hurting their bodies with weapons. 5. What does the underlined word “deviated” in the third paragraph mean? A. Sought for. B. Set out. C. Sped up. D. Kept away. 6. What can people do to protect the animals in the future? A. Raise public awareness. B. Gain financial support. C. Improve relevant laws. D. Use new technology. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Animals caught up in wars B. Cares provided to animals C. Conflicts brought by animals D. Measures taken about animal crisis 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。以乌克兰战争对于濒危物种大斑雕数量的影响为例，介绍了战争对动物的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段“Their data suggested that increased military activity like jets, tanks and other weapons could disturb the eagles. When exposed to such events, the eagles might change their flight path to escape. The researchers found that while migrating through Ukraine, the eagles deviated 10 percent more from the previous route compared to the past few years, which resulted in longer migration distances.(他们的数据表明，喷气式飞机、坦克和其他武器等军事活动的增加可能会扰乱这种雕。当遇到这种情况时，雕可能会改变飞行路线以逃避。)”以及第四段中“Also, the birds made about 60 percent fewer stops during the migration. Human conflicts can affect the eagle’s decisions about when to take breaks during their journey, leading them to choose to keep moving even when they might need to rest.(此外，鸟类在迁徙过程中停留的时间减少了约60%。人类的冲突会影响雕在旅途中何时休息的决定，导致它们选择继续前进，即使它们可能需要休息。)”可知，武装冲突对大斑雕造成很大影响，改变了它们的行为。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“When exposed to such events, the eagles might change their flight path to escape. (当遇到这种情况时，鹰可能会改变飞行路线以逃避。)”和画线句“The researchers found that while migrating through Ukraine, the eagles deviated 10 percent more from the previous route compared to the past few years, which resulted in longer migration distances.(研究人员发现，在穿越乌克兰的迁徙过程中，与过去几年相比，这些雕deviated之前路线的10%，这导致了更长的迁徙距离。)”可知，当暴露在各种战事中，大斑雕会改变迁徙的路线逃避危险，从而导致飞行的路线变长，由此可推断，武装冲突使雕偏离原来的迁徙路线，划线词deviated意思是“偏离”，与kept away意思相近，故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“International humanitarian law lacks clear rules to relieve animal suffering in armed conflicts.(国际人道主义法缺乏明确的规则来减轻武装冲突中动物的痛苦。)”可知，法律缺乏清晰的规定去保护武装冲突中受困的动物，由此可推知，未来人们可以改善相关法律来保护这些动物需要。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“Armed conflicts are known to impact humans significantly, but their effects on animals have often been underestimated. A recent study in Current Biology emphasized that the migration and reproduction of the endangered Greater Spotted Eagle may have been influenced by the Ukraine crisis.(众所周知，武装冲突对人类的影响很大，但对动物的影响往往被低估。《当代生物学》杂志最近的一项研究强调，濒临灭绝的大斑雕的迁徙和繁殖可能受到乌克兰危机的影响。)”并通读全文可知，本文以乌克兰战争影响大斑雕迁徙和繁殖从而导致其数量急剧下降为例，聚焦于战争对动物的影响，故A项“卷入战争的动物”为最佳标题。故选A。 C The negative nature of peer pressure is often presented without question. The undesirable effect of peer pressure cannot be denied, but is it also possible that peer pressure might not entirely deserve its bad reputation? Could peer pressure also have positive effects on the personal development and behavior of young people? A look at the scientific literature reveals exactly that: peer pressure is not always a force for the dark side. Many studies suggest that peer pressure and the desire to conform (顺从) are simply a part of being human. Humans, after all, are highly social beings. If humans are hard-wired to respond to peer pressure, then it makes sense to examine how it can be used to change behavior in a positive way. Imagine a situation: student X has always enjoyed playing the guitar but is lazy and unmotivated. Although initially unwilling, she is persuaded to join a school band. The group of students is preparing for a performance and the existing members are enthusiastic, focused and hardworking. Gradually, student X is caught up in the spirit of the band and before long she is willingly making the same commitment of time and effort so they can all achieve a common goal. So how does it work? Peer pressure — both positive and negative — follows a recognizable psychological process. If student X does not conform to the established culture of the band, she risks rejection. To dispel this tension, student X changes her habits and increases the amount of time and energy she devotes to practice. Some psychologists describe this rearrangement of personal goals or standards to achieve harmony as part of a group as an “identity shift”. The key to understanding the concept of peer pressure and its power over humans is to closely examine the science of the process, rather than focus on its negative aspects. Providing a one-dimensional view of the concept encourages the bias(偏见) that peer pressure is a strictly undesirable feature of human society. Instead, we should be exploring ways to use its power for good. 8. Why does the author raise the two questions about peer pressure in paragraph 1? A. To present misinterpretations of it. B. To encourage reflection on it. C. To doubt the investigations into it. D. To show general perceptions of it. 9. What should student X do to fit into the band? A. Enhance her leadership. B. Stick to her old routines. C. Learn to play more instruments. D. Invest more energy in playing the guitar. 10. What does the underlined word “dispel” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Hide. B. Sense. C. Remove. D. Display. 11. How does the author look at peer pressure? A. It can be put to good use. B. It is an unwanted feature of human society. C. It goes far beyond scientific explanation. D. It has more advantages than disadvantages. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章讨论了同伴压力的正面影响，并通过学生X的例子，强调同伴压力在激发积极行为和个人发展方面的潜力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The negative nature of peer pressure is often presented without question. The undesirable effect of peer pressure cannot be denied, but is it also possible that peer pressure might not entirely deserve its bad reputation? Could peer pressure also have positive effects on the personal development and behavior of young people? A look at the scientific literature reveals exactly that: peer pressure is not always a force for the dark side.(同辈压力的消极性质通常是毫无疑问的。同伴压力的不良影响是不可否认的，但是否也有可能同伴压力并不完全配得上它的坏名声呢？同辈压力是否也会对年轻人的个人发展和行为产生积极影响？科学文献揭示了这一点：同辈压力并不总是黑暗面的力量)”可知，作者在第一段首先指出同伴压力的负面影响毋庸置疑, 接着提出了两个问题: 同伴压力是否也有可能不完全是负面的? 同伴压力是否也会对年轻人的个人发展和行为产生积极影响? 作者最后指出, 科学文献表明同伴压力并不总是负面的。由此可推知，作者提出这两个问题是为了引起人们对同伴压力的反思，从而提出自己的观点——同伴压力并不总是负面的。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Gradually, student X is caught up in the spirit of the band and before long she is willingly making the same commitment of time and effort so they can all achieve a common goal.(渐渐地，学生X被乐队的精神所吸引，不久之后，她愿意付出同样的时间和精力，这样他们就可以实现一个共同的目标)”和第三段“If student X does not conform to the established culture of the band, she risks rejection.(如果学生X不符合乐队的既定文化，她就有被拒绝的风险)”可知，如果学生 X 想融入乐队，就需要和成员们一起努力，投入更多时间和精力练习吉他。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“If student X does not conform to the established culture of the band, she risks rejection.(如果学生X不符合乐队的既定文化，她就有被拒绝的风险)”以及后文“student X changes her habits and increases the amount of time and energy she devotes to practice(学生X改变了自己的习惯，增加了练习的时间和精力)”可知，学生X改变了她的习惯，投入了更多的时间和精力练习，她这样做就是为了不被排斥，即为了消除由于害怕被排斥而带来的紧张。故划线词意思是“消除”。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead, we should be exploring ways to use its power for good.(相反，我们应该探索如何利用它的力量做好事)”可知，作者认为同伴压力可以被很好地利用起来。故选A。 D Google’s recently introduced Willow quantum chip (量子芯片) is a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. It has 105 physical quantum bits and can complete a complex benchmark (基准) calculation in less than five minutes, while the fastest common computer would take 1025 years for the same task. This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction. The working mechanism of Willow is centered around its advanced error correction processes. It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. The chip also incorporates a system of active supervision that continuously monitors qubit (quamtum bit) behavior, detects abnormalities in real-time, and takes measures immediately to correct errors. This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem that has plagued the field for nearly 30 years and paving the way for more powerful and practical quantum computing systems in the future. The potential applications of Willow are vast, including quickening drug discovery, improving electric vehicle battery design, and advancing fusion energy and new energy alternatives. In conclusion, Google’s Willow quantum chip holds great promise for the future of computing and various industries. However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. Experts suggest that millions of qubits may be needed to solve important industry problems. Moreover, the chip needs to operate in extremely low-temperature and highly controlled laboratory environments, which limits its immediate practical use. Therefore, while Willow shows great promise for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet ready for practical applications at present. 12. What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction? A. Quantum correction codes. B. The network of quantum errors. C. The original state of quantum. D. The system of active supervision. 13. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Caused trouble to. B. Made use of. C. Had difficulty in. D. Set standards for. 14. Which of the following limits Willow’s practical use? A. Narrow application market. B. High testing cost. C. Small qubit number. D. Possible environment pollution. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for this article? A. Willow: A Quantum Chip Setting New Benchmark B. Google’s Willow: The End of Computing Problems C. Willow Quantum Chip: Ready for practical application D. Google’s Willow: Innovations and Limitations 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌最近新推出的一款量子芯片，该芯片具有创新之处，其推出带来巨大影响，但它目前也面临投入实际使用的很多困难。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. (它使用量子校正码，其中多个物理量子比特联网以创建单个逻辑量子比特，允许在不干扰原始量子状态的情况下识别错误)”可知，当解决量子纠错问题时，原始量子态应保持不受干扰。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem (这种实时纠错和持续监控的结合，以及用于处理量子比特的优化架构，使Willow能够随着量子比特数量的增加而呈指数级减少错误。这是一个重大的成就，解决了一个问题)”提到Willow量子芯片的工作机制使其实现了呈指数级减少错误的目标，非常成功。由此推知，其成功的地方在于解决了困扰该领域近30年的一个问题，画线词在此处应表示“给……造成麻烦，困扰”的意思，A项Caused trouble to“给……带来麻烦”与之匹配。B项Made use of表示“利用”；C项Had difficulty in表示“在……方面有困难”；D项Set standards for表示“为……设定标准”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. (它目前有105个量子比特，仍然太小，无法处理真正有用和复杂的现实世界任务)”可知，量子比特数量少限制了Willow的实际应用。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction. (该芯片解决了长期存在的量子纠错问题，是一项重大的技术突破)”和最后一段中“However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. (但需要注意的是，Willow目前还处于实验室阶段，在实际应用前还需要进一步的测试和完善)”可知，文章主要介绍了谷歌的Willow量子芯片，既阐述了它在量子计算领域的创新之处，如实时纠错和监控，又指出了它目前存在的局限性，如量子比特数量少、需要在极端低温和高度受控的实验室环境中运行等。因此，D项“谷歌的Willow：创新和局限性”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Drinking coffee has been linked to a reduced risk of developing type II diabetes, neurological conditions such as dementia, and even death. ____16____ How decaf compares to regular coffee The good news is that many of coffee’s health benefits are still found in decaffeinated (脱咖啡因) coffee. The reason for this is thought to be due to the levels of antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in coffee beans, many of which remain even after the caffeine has been removed. Reduced though, the overall levels of antioxidants are still high. ____17____ The pros and cons of caffeine Researchers found a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and death in all coffee drinkers, which included people who drank decaf. Also, caffeine can help alleviate migraines (偏头痛). ____18____ In the short-term, consuming too much caffeine can cause jitteriness, sleep disruptions, headaches, or a racing heart. Long-term, consuming too much caffeine can lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches, if a person tries to stop. ____19____ One of the reasons that the health benefits of coffee have been debated for so long is due to the fact that its consumption can often go hand in hand with other habits. Researchers found coffee drinking was associated with a higher rate of smoking cigarettes—and that the health risks they faced such as lung cancer were due to smoking rather than coffee. Another study found, regular coffee consumption is associated with a reduced amount of weight gain over time. ____20____ This held true whether people were drinking regular or decaf coffee. “Having unsweetened coffee seems to be the way to go,” Ball says. A. Context matters. B. The hidden cause and effect. C. The effects of caffeine can vary, however. D. That can translate to real benefits for decaf drinkers. E. Physicians should stop telling patients to stop drinking coffee. F. But only if drinkers had their coffee black or with cream, but no sugar. G. But as people increasingly turn to decaf, are they still getting those same benefits? 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了咖啡，尤其是脱咖啡因咖啡的健康益处，包括降低疾病风险和体重增长，并探讨了咖啡因的优缺点及其与其他不良习惯的关系。 【16题详解】 上文“Drinking coffee has been linked to a reduced risk of developing type II diabetes, neurological conditions such as dementia, and even death.(喝咖啡与降低患II型糖尿病、痴呆症等神经系统疾病甚至死亡的风险有关)”说明咖啡对健康有多方面的积极影响。空处和前文形成转折关系，并引出下文中“脱咖啡因咖啡的健康益处”这一话题。G项中的but为转折连词，decaf在下文的第一个标题中被复现，所以G项“但随着人们越来越多地转向脱咖啡因咖啡，他们仍然能获得同样的好处吗？”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“The good news is that many of coffee’s health benefits are still found in decaffeinated (脱咖啡因) coffee. The reason for this is thought to be due to the levels of antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in coffee beans, many of which remain even after the caffeine has been removed. Reduced though, the overall levels of antioxidants are still high.(好消息是，咖啡的许多健康益处仍然存在于无咖啡因咖啡中。其原因被认为是由于咖啡豆中抗氧化剂的含量，其中许多即使在去除咖啡因后仍然存在。尽管有所减少，但抗氧化剂的总体水平仍然很高)”说明脱咖啡因咖啡仍然保留了咖啡中的许多抗氧化剂，虽然抗氧化剂的水平有所降低，但总体上仍然很高。空处承接上文，D项中的That指代前文中的“the overall levels of antioxidants are still high”，说明这就是脱咖啡因咖啡对于饮用者有好处的原因。所以D项中的“这可以转化为对脱咖啡因咖啡饮用者的真实益处。”符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 上文“Also, caffeine can help alleviate migraines (偏头痛).(此外，咖啡因有助于缓解偏头痛)”说明咖啡因有助于缓解偏头痛。以及下文“In the short-term, consuming too much caffeine can cause jitteriness, sleep disruptions, headaches, or a racing heart.(在短期内，摄入过多的咖啡因会导致紧张、睡眠中断、头痛或心跳加速)”说明摄入过多的咖啡会带来负面的影响。空处和上文形成转折关系，说明咖啡因有助于缓解偏头痛，但摄入过多的咖啡会带来负面的影响，所以这事也是因人而异的。C项“然而，咖啡因的影响可能会有所不同。”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“One of the reasons that the health benefits of coffee have been debated for so long is due to the fact that its consumption can often go hand in hand with other habits.(咖啡对健康的益处争论已久的原因之一是，它的摄入往往与其他习惯息息相关)”说明在评估咖啡对健康的影响时，需要考虑饮用者的其他生活习惯和环境因素。A项“背景很重要。”适合作本段的主旨句，表明咖啡摄入者的背景信息对于全面理解咖啡的健康效应至关重要。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“Another study found, regular coffee consumption is associated with a reduced amount of weight gain over time.(另一项研究发现，随着时间的推移，经常喝咖啡与体重增加量减少有关)”说明定期喝咖啡与体重增长减少有关。空处顺接前文，说明在喝咖啡减肥这个例子中，减肥的“背景”实际上是无糖。F项“但前提是饮酒者的咖啡是黑咖啡或加奶油的，但不加糖。”符合语境。故选F。 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 spent a year searching for wildness close to home and found a special place near where I live-a modest, ____21____ factory and very few people would notice it.

Because of her parents’ business, her family moved from London to Los Angeles, where she grew up. Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her. On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favourite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door. “I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “and do you know the empty lot (场地) down the street?” Callie nodded, smiling. “The place is a mess, covered with trash. The city is letting us use the lot as a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “I just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.” At school the next morning, Callie’s close friend Tamara was waiting for her by their classroom, who had a surprise for her. Tamara said, “My mom bought tickets to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the amusement park to reopen. Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school?” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mom?” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choice, and you need to make your own decision.

She wanted to go to Fan World, but in the end she decided that her promise to her neighbor was more important. The next day at school, Callie told Tamara that she would not be able to go to Fun World. Tamara tried to understand, but Callie could tell Tamara was disappointed. The girls hardly spoke for the rest of the week. On Sunday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. “Your mother said you made a tough choice. Thank you for giving a hand today.” Callie smiled as she cleaned with a large trash bag. “Do you need any help?” a voice behind her asked. Callie turned, surprised to see Tamara. “I know you made a promise to clean up the garden, and I wanted to come help you. My mom said she could take us to Fun World next weekend.” With joint efforts, they finished the cleaning. Both Callie and Tamara realized that once a promise is made, it needs to be kept. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了凯丽是一名高中生。由于父母的生意，她的家人从伦敦搬到了洛杉矶，她在那里长大。她和她的父母生活在一个安静而温暖的社区，并且对社区的各种志愿者活动非常感兴趣，社区里几乎没有人不认识她。某天在邻居太太的拜托下，她答应和她一起清理花园，为此她拒绝了和朋友们去玩，遵守了承诺。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“凯丽整个晚上都在思考她的决定。”可知，第一段可描写凯丽内心的纠结以及下定决心帮助清理花园。 ②由第二段首句内容“星期天，凯丽在空地上遇见了贝克太太。”可知，第二段可描写凯丽得到了朋友的理解，在大家的共同努力下，她们完成了清扫工作。 2.续写线索：思考决定——遵守承诺——得罪朋友——朋友谅解——完成清扫——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/be determined to ②能够：be able to/be capable of ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①失望的：disappointed/depressed ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] She wanted to go to Fan World, but in the end she decided that her promise to her neighbor was more important.

A recent study in Current Biology emphasized that the migration and reproduction of the endangered Greater Spotted Eagle may have been influenced by the Ukraine crisis. The Greater Spotted Eagle is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list. They migrate through Ukraine between wintering areas in southern Europe and East Africa and key breeding grounds in southern Belarus in spring. The research team studied 19 migrating GPS-tagged Greater Spotted Eagles in March and April of 2022. The flight altitude during this period was relatively low, about 350 meters, exposing them to regions of intense human conflicts. Their data suggested that increased military activity like jets, tanks and other weapons could disturb the eagles. When exposed to such events, the eagles might change their flight path to escape. The researchers found that while migrating through Ukraine, the eagles deviated 10 percent more from the previous route compared to the past few years, which resulted in longer migration distances. Also, the birds made about 60 percent fewer stops during the migration. Human conflicts can affect the eagle’s decisions about when to take breaks during their journey, leading them to choose to keep moving even when they might need to rest. More notably, the eagles, which breed relatively slowly, face disturbance that impacts chick care and breeding success. “Armed conflicts can have wide-ranging influence on the environment, including changes in animal behavior,” said Charlie Russell, a researcher from the University of East Anglia, UK, in a statement to the journal Cell. Russel stated that animals have long been harmed by human armed conflicts and military activities. For example, during the Sudanese Civil War between 1983 and 2005 South Sudan’s elephant population fell from 100,000 to 5,000. A large number of animal protection organizations have carried out disaster relief work to rescue, feed, treat and support animals during conflicts. However, very few have the resources to tackle the root problems. International humanitarian law lacks clear rules to relieve animal suffering in armed conflicts. 4. How did armed conflicts affect Greater Spotted Eagle? A. By changing their behaviors. B. By destroying their living environment. C. By breaking their eating habits. D. By hurting their bodies with weapons. 5. What does the underlined word “deviated” in the third paragraph mean? A. Sought for. B. Set out. C. Sped up. D. Kept away. 6. What can people do to protect the animals in the future? A. Raise public awareness. B. Gain financial support. C. Improve relevant laws. D. Use new technology. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Animals caught up in wars B. Cares provided to animals C. Conflicts brought by animals D. Measures taken about animal crisis C The negative nature of peer pressure is often presented without question. The undesirable effect of peer pressure cannot be denied, but is it also possible that peer pressure might not entirely deserve its bad reputation? Could peer pressure also have positive effects on the personal development and behavior of young people? A look at the scientific literature reveals exactly that: peer pressure is not always a force for the dark side. Many studies suggest that peer pressure and the desire to conform (顺从) are simply a part of being human. Humans, after all, are highly social beings. If humans are hard-wired to respond to peer pressure, then it makes sense to examine how it can be used to change behavior in a positive way. Imagine a situation: student X has always enjoyed playing the guitar but is lazy and unmotivated. Although initially unwilling, she is persuaded to join a school band. The group of students is preparing for a performance and the existing members are enthusiastic, focused and hardworking. Gradually, student X is caught up in the spirit of the band and before long she is willingly making the same commitment of time and effort so they can all achieve a common goal. So how does it work? Peer pressure — both positive and negative — follows a recognizable psychological process. If student X does not conform to the established culture of the band, she risks rejection. To dispel this tension, student X changes her habits and increases the amount of time and energy she devotes to practice. Some psychologists describe this rearrangement of personal goals or standards to achieve harmony as part of a group as an “identity shift”. The key to understanding the concept of peer pressure and its power over humans is to closely examine the science of the process, rather than focus on its negative aspects. Providing a one-dimensional view of the concept encourages the bias(偏见) that peer pressure is a strictly undesirable feature of human society. Instead, we should be exploring ways to use its power for good. 8. Why does the author raise the two questions about peer pressure in paragraph 1? A. To present misinterpretations of it. B. To encourage reflection on it. C. To doubt the investigations into it. D. To show general perceptions of it. 9. What should student X do to fit into the band? A. Enhance her leadership. B. Stick to her old routines. C. Learn to play more instruments. D. Invest more energy in playing the guitar. 10. What does the underlined word “dispel” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Hide. B. Sense. C. Remove. D. Display. 11. How does the author look at peer pressure? A. It can be put to good use. B. It is an unwanted feature of human society. C. It goes far beyond scientific explanation. D. It has more advantages than disadvantages. D Google’s recently introduced Willow quantum chip (量子芯片) is a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. It has 105 physical quantum bits and can complete a complex benchmark (基准) calculation in less than five minutes, while the fastest common computer would take 1025 years for the same task. This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction. The working mechanism of Willow is centered around its advanced error correction processes. It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. The chip also incorporates a system of active supervision that continuously monitors qubit (quamtum bit) behavior, detects abnormalities in real-time, and takes measures immediately to correct errors. This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem that has plagued the field for nearly 30 years and paving the way for more powerful and practical quantum computing systems in the future. The potential applications of Willow are vast, including quickening drug discovery, improving electric vehicle battery design, and advancing fusion energy and new energy alternatives. In conclusion, Google’s Willow quantum chip holds great promise for the future of computing and various industries. However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. Experts suggest that millions of qubits may be needed to solve important industry problems. Moreover, the chip needs to operate in extremely low-temperature and highly controlled laboratory environments, which limits its immediate practical use. Therefore, while Willow shows great promise for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet ready for practical applications at present. 12. What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction? A. Quantum correction codes. B. The network of quantum errors. C. The original state of quantum. D. The system of active supervision. 13. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Caused trouble to. B. Made use of. C. Had difficulty in. D. Set standards for. 14. Which of the following limits Willow’s practical use? A. Narrow application market. B. High testing cost. C. Small qubit number. D. Possible environment pollution. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for this article? A. Willow: A Quantum Chip Setting New Benchmark B. Google’s Willow: The End of Computing Problems C. Willow Quantum Chip: Ready for practical application D. Google’s Willow: Innovations and Limitations 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Drinking coffee has been linked to a reduced risk of developing type II diabetes, neurological conditions such as dementia, and even death. ____16____ How decaf compares to regular coffee The good news is that many of coffee’s health benefits are still found in decaffeinated (脱咖啡因) coffee. The reason for this is thought to be due to the levels of antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in coffee beans, many of which remain even after the caffeine has been removed. Reduced though, the overall levels of antioxidants are still high. ____17____ The pros and cons of caffeine Researchers found a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and death in all coffee drinkers, which included people who drank decaf. Also, caffeine can help alleviate migraines (偏头痛). ____18____ In the short-term, consuming too much caffeine can cause jitteriness, sleep disruptions, headaches, or a racing heart. Long-term, consuming too much caffeine can lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches, if a person tries to stop. ____19____ One of the reasons that the health benefits of coffee have been debated for so long is due to the fact that its consumption can often go hand in hand with other habits. Researchers found coffee drinking was associated with a higher rate of smoking cigarettes—and that the health risks they faced such as lung cancer were due to smoking rather than coffee. Another study found, regular coffee consumption is associated with a reduced amount of weight gain over time. ____20____ This held true whether people were drinking regular or decaf coffee. “Having unsweetened coffee seems to be the way to go,” Ball says. A. Context matters. B The hidden cause and effect. C. The effects of caffeine can vary, however. D. That can translate to real benefits for decaf drinkers. E. Physicians should stop telling patients to stop drinking coffee. F. But only if drinkers had their coffee black or with cream, but no sugar. G. But as people increasingly turn to decaf, are they still getting those same benefits? 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 spent a year searching for wildness close to home and found a special place near where I live-a modest, ____21____ factory and very few people would notice it.

Because of her parents’ business, her family moved from London to Los Angeles, where she grew up. Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her. On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favourite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door. “I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “and do you know the empty lot (场地) down the street?” Callie nodded, smiling. “The place is a mess, covered with trash. The city is letting us use the lot as a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “I just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.” At school the next morning, Callie’s close friend Tamara was waiting for her by their classroom, who had a surprise for her. Tamara said, “My mom bought tickets to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the amusement park to reopen. Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school?” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mom?” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choice, and you need to make your own decision. But I know you will do what is best,” her mother answered. 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。 Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Sunday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
