When public transport works, it really works. I found traveling by train and bike empowering. But even in this time of climate emergency, public transport still remains an unpopular choice. It doesn’t take many strikes, cancellations, missed connections and rising ticket prices to avoid it altogether. When the average British person already spends around £ 3,500 a year on car costs, it’s no wonder we prefer the driver’s seat. Yet, there are many reasons we should be using public transport more, with one being the bonus to the environment they bring. Recent research shows that UK trains have higher carbon savings than previously thought. For my Scottish journey, had I traveled a similar route from London to Edinburgh by car, my journey’s emissions would supposedly have increased 10-fold. E-bike rental schemes have also increased across the UK, and so has cycling in general, but this mode of transport isn’t always planned for. All over the country, dedicated (专用的) bike lanes are way too rare. All of this has revealed to me that while the UK’s transport infrastructure (基础设施) is poor, its potential is significant. We know how effective electrified rail routes can be in decarbonization, but in 2021-22 little more than a mile of such track was upgraded across Britain. Centrally funded investment could change things. The rest of Europe seems to recognize this. If I were in Austria, I could travel across Vienna by public transport for €l a day. In Germany, I could organize a monthly €49 direct debit for all-inclusive regional public transport. Closer to home, Brighton and Hove have the most popular bus network outside London. We must demand a nationalized low-carbon network, A standardized, centrally funded consistently supported ecosystem of public transport across the UK could truly change our carbon game. 24. What does the underlined word “empowering” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Sparking debate. B. Causing confusion. C. Giving strength or confidence. D. Leading to complaints and protests. 25. What is the problem with implementing e-bike rental schemes? A. High rental fees. B. Potential safety problems. C. Lack of public interest. D. Insufficient infrastructure 26. Why does the author mention Austria and Germany? A. To compare the costs of public transport. B. To predict the challenges of UK’s public transport. C. To contrast with the state of UK’s public transportation. D. To illustrate the popularity of public transport in Europe 27. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Transforming carbon game: The Eco-Boost on Rails. B. Revolutionizing UK Transport: The Green Ride Ahead. C. Empowering Global travelling: A Long March on Land. D. Revolutionizing UK City Life: The Tech Leap on Tracks. C More people in the UK are choosing to spend their money on “ethical” shopping, according to the Fairtrade Foundation. Ethical shopping means buying things that do not harm people, animals or the environment when they are produced. The Fairtrade Foundation is an organization based in the UK that helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. It does this by asking companies that grow products such as bananas or coffee to provide safe working conditions and pay their workers fair wages. The company can then sell its products with a Fairtrade mark so buyers know they are shopping ethically. Michael Gidney, from the Fairtrade Foundation, said it expects to have made more than £13 million from sales in the UK last year, an increase from £12.8 million in 2022. Last year was a challenging time for the UK economy. The effects of the Covid pandemic, and regional conflicts, pushed up the prices of food and energy, so people had less money to spend. However, the growth in ethical spending shows that many people care about how their spending affects others. “British shoppers do not trade down on their values when times are tough,” Gidney said. Millions of people in 70 countries benefit from the Fairtrade Foundation’s work, including projects supporting schools, healthcare and clean water. This year the foundation marks 30 years since the Fairtrade programme began. There are also organizations like Rainforest Alliance running ethical shopping plans. Gidney said the growth in ethical shopping proves to big companies that more people want to buy goods that treat workers, animals and the planet well. “We are winning the argument that trade can be sustainable and fair for people and planet,” he said. 28. What can we learn about the Fairtrade Foundation? A. It sells products with recognized labels. B. It urges companies to be worker-friendly. C. It encourages shoppers to buy more products. D. It sets wage standards for growers on poor land. 29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. British shoppers aren’t affected by economic challenges. B. British shoppers buy more regardless of money shortage. C. British shoppers keep to ethical shopping despite tight finances. D. British shoppers care more about their spending in economic struggles. 30. Why did Gidney mention the growth in ethical shopping in paragraph 4? A. To settle the disagreement on trade. B. To prove the influence of Rainforest Alliance. C. To draw big firms’ attention to sustainable trade. D. To expect a greater demand for responsible products. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Shopping to Help Others B. Trading to Ensure Benefits C. Why Can Ethical Shopping Save Economy? D. How Does Fairtrade Foundation Help Global Economy? D People thoughtlessly make other people into social media content. If you want to explain this problem, you only draw more attention to something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place. On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people. This is a predictable result of everybody having a camera with them at all times. Who hasn’t wished they had a camera to document the amazing “small person walking huge dog” moment they enjoyed? Curiosity happens, and surprise happens. But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why dont’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to. Should we walk around with our head down, ignoring the world of amusing strangeness around us? Of course not. We’re far enough into the “practically everybody has a camera” age that we know how it goes, and how we just never know when our small post will become a big deal. To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face. You can also offer descriptions in different ways instead of showing photos. Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone. 32. What is the predictable result of easy camera access? A. People become more interested in others. B. People are more likely to enjoy amusing events. C. Amazing situations can be recorded without worry. D. Posts of ordinary people can unexpectedly become hot. 33. Why might people not ask strangers for permission before taking photos? A. They want natural shots. B. They are afraid of being refused. C. They intend to surprise strangers. D. They’re unwilling to bother strangers. 34. What does the author suggest we do to protect privacy in online photos? A Cover faces with digital stickers. B. Ask for permission before posting. C. Post photos with rich descriptions. D. Pay no attention to what happens around. 35. What attitude does the author probably hold to taking photos of people eating in public? A Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Disapproval. 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。 In a fast-paced world, stress and mental tiredness seem common. Some people take a hot bath, go for a run, or listen to slow music to help them relax. But what about the sound of birds singing and other nature sounds? ____36____ According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental well- being of people. Taking a trip to a place rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds whistling to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. ____37____ Another study conducted by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation (冥想) apps.

According to the research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a great effect on people’s mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes (声景) of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their well-being. ____40____ Whether you take a walk through a wood or wear some headphones, listening to the birdsong could help you to relax after a long, hard day. A. Birdsong is always good for mental health. B. Other sounds may also help to ease people up. C. However, not all of us live in rural surroundings. D. A similar effect was also seen in people with mental problems. E. And it’s not just birds that could have a healing effect on our moods. F. Research shows they also help people let go of the tension of modern life. G. So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature. 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。 Small, spoon-shaped objects found on the end of warriors’ belts at archaeological sites across northern Europe could have been used to dispense stimulants (分配兴奋剂) before battle, a study suggests.

We were staying at a research camp outside “the polar bear capital of the world” the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada. Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous. Polar bears like all wild animals should be photographed from a safe distance. When I’m face to face with a polar bear, I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens. But sometimes, that is easier said than done. This was one of those times. As Elli and I cooked dinner, a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread. The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp, which was surrounded by a high wire fence. He pulled and bit the wire. He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts. Terrified, Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew. We yelled at the bear, hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air. Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off. Not this polar bear though—he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws (爪子). I radioed the camp manager for help. He told me a helicopter was on its way, but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived. Making the best of this close encounter (相遇), I took some pictures of the bear. Elli and I feared the fence wouldn’t last through 30 more minutes of the bear’s punishment. The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray. The spray burns the bears’ eyes, but doesn’t hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and, through the fence, sprayed him in the face. With an angry roar (吼叫), the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: A few minutes later, the bear came back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At the very moment, the helicopter arrived. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 四川省万源中学高2026届期中考试试题（高二.下） 英 语 满分150分 考试用时120分钟 注意事项： 1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 第I卷（选择题 95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】 Which club will the woman most probably join this term?

C 【解析】 【原文】Today I’d like to tell you about some of the historic places open to visitors in this part of the country. Let’s start with the old port. You will need several hours to see everything there, especially if you take a trip along the river side in an old tram as far as the fishing village. The guides there all wear traditional costumes and you will also get the chance to try on clothes from a hundred years ago. You can buy gifts in the old village stores and eat delicious local food in the tea shop. If you visit the village factory, you can see how sweets were made a hundred years ago. And taste them too. Next I’d like to recommend a visit to salter house. This was built by sir Joshua and dates back to 1765. The salter family still lives there today. The house became famous in 1982 when the television series and Dorothy was filmed there. The furniture and paintings are well worth seeing. Don’t forget the oldest landmark. The black rock caves have been here for over 2 million years. And for half a million years, they were home to people and various animals, particularly tigers. The caves are open daily from April to October. A special attraction on evenings in August is a walk by candlelight. So, you see, there’s plenty of. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Information You Can Trust —A Guide to Our Editorial Process Our goal at wikiHow is to deliver trustworthy articles that engage our readers and meet their informational and emotional needs.

We’ve helped millions of people solve problems, learn new skills, and feel supported in the ordinary and complex moments of life.( 18年来，我们一直致力于循序渐进的教学模式，并继续创造最好的互联网体验。我们已经帮助数百万人解决问题，学习新技能，并在生活中的普通和复杂时刻感受到支持。)”可知，该网站的主要目标是为读者提供解决问题的具体指导和建议。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据 DIY, Joy Cho, Founder & Creative Director部分中“Founder and Creative Director of lifestyle brand and design studio. Authored three books and consulted for creative businesses around the world.(生活方式品牌及设计工作室创始人及创意总监。撰写了三本书，并为世界各地的创意企业提供咨询。)”可知，Joy Cho为创意性商业提供咨询，如果你打算开一个纪念品店，或许是最有帮助的。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Our Expert Team wikiHow partners with over 1,000 experts from a wide range of fields to ensure our content is accurate and based on well- established research.( 我们的专家团队与来自广泛领域的1000多名专家合作，以确保我们的内容准确无误，并基于完善的研究。)”；表格中ACCURACY REVIEW部分中“Article submissions are reviewed by Content Managers to ensure they are well- researched.(文章提交由内容管理人员审查，以确保它们经过充分研究。)”以及表格中EXPERT INPUT部分中“Articles are expanded and reviewed by an appropriate expert.( 文章由合适的专家进行扩展和审查。)”可知，内容经理和专家的共同责任是确保文章的可信度。故选C。 B When I challenged myself to travel by low-carbon routes during the writing of my book, I experienced the best and worst of our transit network. When public transport works, it really works. I found traveling by train and bike empowering. But even in this time of climate emergency, public transport still remains an unpopular choice. It doesn’t take many strikes, cancellations, missed connections and rising ticket prices to avoid it altogether. When the average British person already spends around £ 3,500 a year on car costs, it’s no wonder we prefer the driver’s seat. Yet, there are many reasons we should be using public transport more, with one being the bonus to the environment they bring. Recent research shows that UK trains have higher carbon savings than previously thought. For my Scottish journey, had I traveled a similar route from London to Edinburgh by car, my journey’s emissions would supposedly have increased 10-fold. E-bike rental schemes have also increased across the UK, and so has cycling in general, but this mode of transport isn’t always planned for. All over the country, dedicated (专用的) bike lanes are way too rare. All of this has revealed to me that while the UK’s transport infrastructure (基础设施) is poor, its potential is significant. We know how effective electrified rail routes can be in decarbonization, but in 2021-22 little more than a mile of such track was upgraded across Britain. Centrally funded investment could change things. The rest of Europe seems to recognize this. If I were in Austria, I could travel across Vienna by public transport for €l a day. In Germany, I could organize a monthly €49 direct debit for all-inclusive regional public transport. Closer to home, Brighton and Hove have the most popular bus network outside London. We must demand a nationalized low-carbon network, A standardized, centrally funded consistently supported ecosystem of public transport across the UK could truly change our carbon game. 24. What does the underlined word “empowering” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Sparking debate. B. Causing confusion. C. Giving strength or confidence. D. Leading to complaints and protests. 25. What is the problem with implementing e-bike rental schemes? A. High rental fees. B. Potential safety problems. C. Lack of public interest. D. Insufficient infrastructure 26. Why does the author mention Austria and Germany? A. To compare the costs of public transport. B. To predict the challenges of UK’s public transport. C. To contrast with the state of UK’s public transportation. D. To illustrate the popularity of public transport in Europe 27. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Transforming carbon game: The Eco-Boost on Rails. B. Revolutionizing UK Transport: The Green Ride Ahead. C. Empowering Global travelling: A Long March on Land. D. Revolutionizing UK City Life: The Tech Leap on Tracks. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了英国公共交通的现状、问题以及改进的可能性，并呼吁建立国家化的低碳公共交通网络。 24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“When I challenged myself to travel by low-carbon routes during the writing of my book, I experienced the best and worst of our transit network. When public transport works, it really works. (在写书期间，我给自己设定了一个挑战，即通过低碳出行方式旅行，这让我亲身体验了我们交通网络的优与劣。当公共交通运行顺畅时，它的表现真的非常出色。)”可知，作者写书时挑战自己使用低碳出行方式，因此可推测作者认为乘坐火车和自行车旅行是积极正面的经历，划线的“empowering”应表示“给予力量或信心”。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“All over the country, dedicated (专用的) bike lanes are way too rare. (在全国各地，专用的自行车道太少了。)”可知，实施电动自行车租赁计划存在的问题是基础设施不足。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The rest of Europe seems to recognize this. If I were in Austria, I could travel across Vienna by public transport for €1 a day. In Germany, I could organize a monthly €49 direct debit for all-inclusive regional public transport. Closer to home, Brighton and Hove have the most popular bus network outside London. (欧洲其他国家似乎都认识到了这一点。如果我在奥地利，我可以每天花1欧元乘公共交通穿越维也纳。在德国，我可以每月安排49欧元的直接借记，用于全包的区域公共交通。离家更近的地方，布赖顿和霍夫拥有伦敦以外最受欢迎的公交网络。)”可知，作者提到奥地利和德国是为了与英国公共交通的状况形成对比。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了英国公共交通现状、问题以及改进的可能性，并呼吁建立国家化的低碳公共交通网络，由此可知，B项“英国交通革命：前方的绿色之旅。”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 C More people in the UK are choosing to spend their money on “ethical” shopping, according to the Fairtrade Foundation. Ethical shopping means buying things that do not harm people, animals or the environment when they are produced. The Fairtrade Foundation is an organization based in the UK that helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. It does this by asking companies that grow products such as bananas or coffee to provide safe working conditions and pay their workers fair wages. The company can then sell its products with a Fairtrade mark so buyers know they are shopping ethically. Michael Gidney, from the Fairtrade Foundation, said it expects to have made more than £13 million from sales in the UK last year, an increase from £12.8 million in 2022. Last year was a challenging time for the UK economy. The effects of the Covid pandemic, and regional conflicts, pushed up the prices of food and energy, so people had less money to spend. However, the growth in ethical spending shows that many people care about how their spending affects others. “British shoppers do not trade down on their values when times are tough,” Gidney said. Millions of people in 70 countries benefit from the Fairtrade Foundation’s work, including projects supporting schools, healthcare and clean water. This year the foundation marks 30 years since the Fairtrade programme began. There are also organizations like Rainforest Alliance running ethical shopping plans. Gidney said the growth in ethical shopping proves to big companies that more people want to buy goods that treat workers, animals and the planet well. “We are winning the argument that trade can be sustainable and fair for people and planet,” he said. 28. What can we learn about the Fairtrade Foundation? A. It sells products with recognized labels. B It urges companies to be worker-friendly. C. It encourages shoppers to buy more products. D. It sets wage standards for growers on poor land. 29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. British shoppers aren’t affected by economic challenges. B. British shoppers buy more regardless of money shortage. C. British shoppers keep to ethical shopping despite tight finances. D. British shoppers care more about their spending in economic struggles. 30. Why did Gidney mention the growth in ethical shopping in paragraph 4? A. To settle the disagreement on trade. B. To prove the influence of Rainforest Alliance. C. To draw big firms’ attention to sustainable trade. D. To expect a greater demand for responsible products. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Shopping to Help Others B. Trading to Ensure Benefits C. Why Can Ethical Shopping Save Economy? D. How Does Fairtrade Foundation Help Global Economy? 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了道德购物的概念以及道德购物的积极影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Fairtrade Foundation is an organization based in the UK that helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. (公平贸易基金会是一个总部设在英国的组织，它帮助世界上较贫穷地区的农民和工人赚到足够的钱，让他们过上舒适的生活。)”可知，公平贸易基金会敦促公司对员工友好。故选B。 【29题详解】 句意猜测题。根据第三段“The effects of the Covid pandemic, and regional conflicts, pushed up the prices of food and energy, so people had less money to spend. However, the growth in ethical spending shows that many people care about how their spending affects others. (新冠疫情和地区冲突的影响推高了粮食和能源价格，因此人们的可支配资金减少。然而，道德消费的增长表明，许多人关心他们的消费如何影响他人。)”可知，新冠疫情和地区冲突的影响导致人们的可支配资金减少，however表示转折，道德消费的增长表明许多人关心他们的消费如何影响他人。说明了虽然经济困难，但是英国消费者仍坚持道德购物的现象。故划线句意思是“尽管经济拮据，英国消费者仍坚持道德购物”。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are also organizations like Rainforest Alliance running ethical shopping plans. Gidney said the growth in ethical shopping proves to big companies that more people want to buy goods that treat workers, animals and the planet well. “We are winning the argument that trade can be sustainable and fair for people and planet,” he said. (吉德尼说，道德购物的增长向大公司证明，越来越多的人想要购买对工人、动物和地球有益的商品。他说：“我们正在赢得这场辩论，即贸易对人类和地球来说是可持续和公平的。”)”可知，Gidney提到道德购物的增长是为了吸引大公司对可持续贸易的关注。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“More people in the UK are choosing to spend their money on “ethical” shopping, according to the Fairtrade Foundation. Ethical shopping means buying things that do not harm people, animals or the environment when they are produced. (据公平贸易基金会称，越来越多的英国人选择把钱花在“合乎道德”的购物上。道德购物是指购买在生产过程中不会伤害人类、动物或环境的东西。)”结合文章主要说明了道德购物的概念以及道德购物的积极影响。可知，A选“购物帮助他人”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D People thoughtlessly make other people into social media content. If you want to explain this problem, you only draw more attention to something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place. On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people. This is a predictable result of everybody having a camera with them at all times. Who hasn’t wished they had a camera to document the amazing “small person walking huge dog” moment they enjoyed? Curiosity happens, and surprise happens. But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why dont’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to. Should we walk around with our head down, ignoring the world of amusing strangeness around us? Of course not. We’re far enough into the “practically everybody has a camera” age that we know how it goes, and how we just never know when our small post will become a big deal. To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face. You can also offer descriptions in different ways instead of showing photos. Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone. 32. What is the predictable result of easy camera access? A. People become more interested in others. B. People are more likely to enjoy amusing events. C. Amazing situations can be recorded without worry. D. Posts of ordinary people can unexpectedly become hot. 33. Why might people not ask strangers for permission before taking photos? A. They want natural shots. B. They are afraid of being refused. C. They intend to surprise strangers. D. They’re unwilling to bother strangers. 34. What does the author suggest we do to protect privacy in online photos? A. Cover faces with digital stickers. B. Ask for permission before posting. C. Post photos with rich descriptions. D. Pay no attention to what happens around. 35. What attitude does the author probably hold to taking photos of people eating in public? A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Disapproval. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们会轻率地把别人变成社交媒体的内容这一现象。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people.(在一些社交媒体上，经常会发布一张照片或一段视频，其中一个完全普通的人在做一件完全普通的事情。如果你看一下帖子上的数字，你会发现这篇帖子已经被100万人浏览了)”可知，摄像头容易进入的可预见结果是普通人的帖子会出人意料地火起来。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why don’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to.(但如果你纯粹是出于好奇而利用某人，你为什么不说：“我能给你拍张照吗？”在内心深处，你知道这个人可能不希望你这么做)”可知，人们在拍照前不征求陌生人的同意是因为害怕被拒绝。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face.(为了保护隐私，你可以把数字贴纸贴在某人的脸上)”可知，作者建议我们用数码贴纸遮住脸保护网上照片的隐私。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone.(记住：站在那里拿着你的手机给那些无辜吃午饭的人拍照，对一些人来说可能会很奇怪，而且其中一个可能也有手机)”可知，作者对拍摄人们在公共场合吃饭的照片持反对态度。故选D。 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。 In a fast-paced world, stress and mental tiredness seem common. Some people take a hot bath, go for a run, or listen to slow music to help them relax. But what about the sound of birds singing and other nature sounds? ____36____ According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental well- being of people. Taking a trip to a place rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds whistling to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. ____37____ Another study conducted by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation (冥想) apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds underfoot or the gentle sound of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than an app. ____38____ They are waves lapping on the shore, gentle winds, and light rainfall. ____39____ Could the nature sounds that originate there still help you? According to the research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a great effect on people’s mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes (声景) of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their well-being. ____40____ Whether you take a walk through a wood or wear some headphones, listening to the birdsong could help you to relax after a long, hard day. A. Birdsong is always good for mental health. B. Other sounds may also help to ease people up. C. However, not all of us live in rural surroundings. D. A similar effect was also seen in people with mental problems. E. And it’s not just birds that could have a healing effect on our moods. F. Research shows they also help people let go of the tension of modern life. G. So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. B 39. C 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，自然声音如鸟鸣能显著提升心理健康，相比冥想应用，林地声音更能帮助放松。无论是实地体验还是听录音，都能有效缓解压力。 【36题详解】 前文提及“In a fast-paced world, stress and mental tiredness seem common. Some people take a hot bath, go for a run, or listen to slow music to help them relax. But what about the sound of birds singing and other nature sounds?(在一个快节奏的世界里，压力和精神疲劳似乎很常见。有些人洗个热水澡，去跑步，或者听慢音乐来帮助他们放松。但是鸟儿的歌声和其他自然的声音呢?)”，结合后文第二段“According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental well- being of people.(根据伦敦国王学院2022年的一项研究，看到或听到鸟类有助于促进人们的心理健康) ”可知，空格处应该表明鸟儿的歌声和其他自然的声音也能够让人们放松，F选项“Research shows they also help people let go of the tension of modern life.(研究表明，它们还能帮助人们释放现代生活的紧张感)”符合上下文逻辑，其中选项中的also help与前文的help是提示词，也是同词复现。故选F。 【37题详解】 前文“According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental well- being of people. Taking a trip to a place rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds whistling to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. (根据伦敦国王学院2022年的一项研究，看到或听到鸟类有助于促进人们的心理健康。去公园、森林和运河等鸟类丰富的地方旅行，遇到在树上互相吹口哨的鸟，甚至可以帮助治疗一些心理健康问题)”提到伦敦国王学院的研究结论，后文“Another study conducted by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation (冥想) apps.(国民信托组织进行的另一项研究比较了林地声音和语音冥想应用程序的影响)”接着介绍另外一个研究，表明其它自然声音对心理健康的影响，可知空格处应该总结上文的同时引出其他的对心理健康有积极作用的声音，D选项“And it’s not just birds that could have a healing effect on our moods.(不仅仅是鸟类对我们的情绪有治疗作用)”，其中选项中的not just是提示词，表明不止鸟鸣对心理健康有积极作用。故选E。 【38题详解】 前文描述“The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds underfoot or the gentle sound of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than an app. (研究发现，听鸟鸣、脚下的其他林地声音或溪流的轻柔声音比听应用程序更能让人放松30%)”说明了自然声音的正面效果，下文“They are waves lapping on the shore, gentle winds, and light rainfall.(它们是拍打海岸的海浪、轻柔的风和小雨。)”列举了一些其它的声音，空格处应该引出其它声音的治疗效果，故选B“Other sounds may also help to ease people up.(其他的声音也可以帮助人们放松)”承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 【39题详解】 前文引出适合放松的自然声音，下文“Could the nature sounds that originate there still help you?(来自那里的自然声音还能对你有帮助吗?)”中的there是关键词，空格中需要解释是“哪里”，C选项“However, not all of us live in rural surroundings.(然而，并非我们所有人都生活在乡村环境中)”解释了there指代“rural surroundings”，同时引出后文谈到如何在城市或其他非乡村环境中接触到这些声音，符合题意。故选C。 【40题详解】  前文“even a recording of the sounds of birds had a great effect on people’s mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes (声景) of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their well-being. (即使是鸟鸣的录音也会对人们的情绪产生很大的影响，而其他研究发现，人们听海岸和森林的音景(声景)也会对他们的幸福感产生类似的影响)”谈到研究表明即便是录音的自然声音也有积极效果，说明无论所处环境如何，都可以通过现代科技或其他方式接触到自然声音，故G选项“So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature.(所以，无论你在哪里生活，你都可以听到美妙的鸟鸣和大自然声音)”承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 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。 Small, spoon-shaped objects found on the end of warriors’ belts at archaeological sites across northern Europe could have been used to dispense stimulants (分配兴奋剂) before battle, a study suggests.

We were staying at a research camp outside “the polar bear capital of the world” the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada. Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous. Polar bears like all wild animals should be photographed from a safe distance. When I’m face to face with a polar bear, I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens. But sometimes, that is easier said than done. This was one of those times. As Elli and I cooked dinner, a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread. The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp, which was surrounded by a high wire fence. He pulled and bit the wire. He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts. Terrified, Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew. We yelled at the bear, hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air. Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off. Not this polar bear though—he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws (爪子). I radioed the camp manager for help. He told me a helicopter was on its way, but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived. Making the best of this close encounter (相遇), I took some pictures of the bear. Elli and I feared the fence wouldn’t last through 30 more minutes of the bear’s punishment. The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray. The spray burns the bears’ eyes, but doesn’t hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and, through the fence, sprayed him in the face. With an angry roar (吼叫), the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: A few minutes later, the bear came back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At the very moment, the helicopter arrived. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A few minutes later, the bear came back. Then we realized the spray had only angered him even more, for he seemed much fiercer this time and violently pushed the fence like mad. My heart raced wildly, not knowing what to do. At this critical moment, Elli grabbed several pieces of garlic bread and threw them over the fence. It worked! The bear stopped the attack and ran to the bread. But it wasn’t long before he eat up all the bread and came back again.   At the very moment, the helicopter arrived. “Thank goodness we are saved!” Elli cried out. Once the helicopter landed, we got onto it in no time, excited and relieved. When we were safe on the helicopter up in the air, I was amazed to spot that the bear had finally tore down the fence and ran towards the food we left behind. I quickly took out the camera and photographed the rare scene—we were robbed by a polar bear. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和妻子前往被称为“北极熊之都”的加拿大丘吉尔镇拍摄北极熊。夫妻二人做饭之时，一头饥饿的雄性幼熊跟着面包的蒜香味，靠近了营地，猛烈撞击营地边上的铁丝围栏。作者和妻子使出浑身解数，想吓退这头熊，不料它“不破篱笆誓不归”。无奈之下，作者求助营地管理员，被告知救援直升机要30分钟后才能赶到，只得先尝试用胡椒喷雾喷洒北极熊的眼睛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几分钟后，熊回来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者夫妻二人如何再次对付熊及两人在此过程中的紧张害怕。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，直升机到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者夫妻二人获救时的心情。 2.续写线索：推篱笆——紧张害怕——用面包攻击——快速登上飞机——熊把篱笆推倒——拍下熊“打劫”的画面 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激怒：anger/provoke ②抓起：grab/snatch up ③拍摄：photograph/shoot 情绪类 ①兴奋：excited/thrilled ②松了一口气：relieved/eased 【点睛】[高分句型1] Once the helicopter landed, we got onto it in no time, excited and relieved.
