B I lost my sight at 18 due to an eye condition. By the third year of my math and stats degree I’d decided that enough was enough — I wasn’t going to tiptoe (蹑手蹑脚地走) through life in cotton wool. Against the wishes of my parents, I headed off to Canada. I went there alone — just me and my blindness. That taught me your world becomes bigger when you push your limits. In 2020, I took part in a 220-mile hike across Nicaragua alongside 10 other people with disabilities for a BBC program. We had to work as a team to go across tropical rainforests and a lake with sharks, as well as up a 5,000ft volcano. I was pushing a wheelchair through a dense jungle; no amount of exercise could have prepared me for it — it became all about mental toughness. Often, people who are sighted think they need to be good at describing scenery, but they can just describe what they see as a normal conversation. I love it when people give me the overview first; when you look at a picture, you don’t see the little details straight away. As words go into my ears, they translate into beautiful pictures. I’ll keep the imagery and mix it with other sensory details. If I’m at Victoria Falls, I’ll have the falls described to me, and then feel the spray (水花) on my face. I hear the thunderous falls, and I’m aware of their smell. They’re all feelings that add up to an incredible experience. I had one of my most amazing experiences on a floating island in Lake Titicaca. I took a group in 2022, and the indigenous people had never met anybody blind before. When I took another group a few weeks later, they’d made a scale model of the island so that the blind could touch it. It doesn’t matter where you go, finding that connection is priceless. For blind people, it’s natural to feel that the world has closed for you, but when you have a positive mind, obstacles (障碍) become opportunities. 4. How did the author probably feel about his life before heading off to Canada? A. Puzzled. B. Bored. C. Satisfied. D. Inspired. 5. What can be inferred about the author from his hike in 2020? A. He failed to get along with other people. B. He was treated differently during the trip. C. He trained hard to hike through forests. D. He was tested physically and mentally. 6. Compared with normal people, what may the author think is his advantage in touring? A. His combination of various senses. B. His easy and relaxing schedule. C. His rich words and expressions. D. His extraordinary imagination. 7. What can be learned from the author’s experience? A. Time and tide wait for no man. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. To know oneself is true progress. D. Never set boundaries for one’s life. C For most of us, imagining a world damaged by the climate crisis is painful. After all, it would require us to accept the inconvenient truth and face our deepest fears. But for French photographer and digital artist Fabien Barrau, doing that is necessary to make us face the fact that we’re headed into a terrible world of our own making. Thus was born News From The Future, a series by Barrau. It explores what famous architectural landmarks around the world will look like in consequence of the climate crisis, and was created with the help of his drone (无人机) and remarkable Photoshop skills. “I remain convinced that a simple image can have much impact on people, especially the young, helping them understand the probabilities of the consequences of inaction, thus to act with urgency to avoid its most catastrophic (灾难的) consequences,” Barrau said. To visualize these catastrophic consequences, Barrau digitally changes drone footage (连续镜头) and previous images — taking the Eiffel Tower to dry extremes, drowning the Statue of Liberty in waist-deep floods (the statue’s waist, not ours), while the Arc de Triomphe seems a decoration of the vast ocean. His series is heavily influenced by existing artworks that explore the collapse of a civilization. For example, the image of two whales swimming above the Arc de Triomphe is to show respect for the French artist Roland Cat, whose work imagined sea creatures swimming above drowned cities. He also credits films like Planet of the Apes and Mad Max as major influences. “I like to do landscape and architecture photography and I have travelled to many countries to photograph amazing environments,” Barrau said. “But over the years, I have increasingly felt the catastrophic effects of the climate crisis on biodiversity, landscapes and people. It seems difficult for me to pretend that nothing changes. I believe that the stories that my images tell can help people realize what the need of the hour is.” 8. What was Barrau’s aim of creating News From The Future? A. To prove a prediction. B. To attract public attention. C. To inspire people’s imagination. D. To improve people’s taste in architecture. 9. Which of the following can best describe Barrau’s works? A. Ordinary but attractive. B. Pleasant and refreshing. C. Realistic and colorful. D. Imaginary but powerful. 10. What does the mention of Roland Cat and two films in Paragraph 4 show? A. Barrau’s contributions to the field of art. B. The inspiration behind Barrau’s creations. C. Barrau’s ambition to enter the film industry. D. The high social recognition of Barrau’s works. 11. What does Barrau expect to do through photography? A. Raise people’s environmental awareness. B. Encourage more people to travel across the world. C Convince people to be prepared for natural disasters. D. Break down people’s prejudices against photography. D When we discuss our warming planet, we, however, overlook the impact of warming temperatures on our oceans. A new study published by researchers from the University of Exeter explores the link between warming temperatures and their impacts on the ocean’s twilight zone (暮光带). The twilight zone is a region of the ocean that lies between the upper ocean and the deep ocean and is located around 200 to 1,000 meters under the surface. In the upper ocean, tiny plant-like organisms (生物) called phytoplankton turn carbon (碳) from the atmosphere into organic matter. This formation of organic matter, along with other waste matter, produces a shower of organic material. It helps start the ocean’s huge food web as organic matter and other carbon-based products go down from the surface and move through the depths of the ocean. This process by which heat-trapping carbon is stored in deep waters instead of going into the atmosphere is an essential set of processes that control the Earth’s climate system. The ocean’s twilight zone is also home to many creatures. Twilight zone animals consume matter near the upper ocean during the night and return to the deeper waters during the day, directly moving carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean. In this way, the organisms in the twilight zone help. Sadly, the study suggests that up to 40% of twilight zone creatures could disappear by the end of the century. This is because rising temperatures increase the rate at which organic matter is eaten and disappears. As a result, less carbon goes down into the twilight zone and beyond for storage as organic matter. Given that organisms in the twilight zone are highly dependent on going down organic matter, this could put their complex food cycles in danger. However, the authors tell us that we have not yet reached the point that couldn’t be saved and that there is still time for us to act. Not only will this increase our ocean’s carbon cycling processes, but it will also protect beings in the deepest parts of our oceans. 12. What plays a big role in the beginning of ocean creatures’ food web? A. The wide variety of deep-sea creatures. B. Organisms’ activities on the ocean floor. C. The amount of waste matter on the surface. D. Carbon-based products dropping into the twilight zone. 13. How do twilight zone animals’ activities contribute to the Earth? A. By warming the twilight zone. B. By releasing heat-trapping carbon. C. By balancing the Earth’s temperature. D. By clearing waste matter out of the ocean. 14. What may be a result of rising temperatures on twilight zone creatures? A. Smaller living spaces. B. The break of their food chain. C. Better ability to adapt to climate. D. Increased food on the sea surface. 15. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting to protect our ocean B. The future of twilight zone creatures C. The disappearing ocean’s twilight zone creatures D. Unlocking the secrets of organic matter in the ocean 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 It's a place like no other in the world.

As he was leaving home, his dad grabbed him by the hand and said, “Before you go, just tell me the directions on where you and your friends are going to stay.” “But dad!” Kevin complained. “No buts!” Kevin’s dad added. “Fine.” Kevin told him the directions and left. The three friends, Kevin, Jay and Nathan, had been planning this adventure for weeks, packing their stuff-tents, snacks, and a map-preparing for a 3-day outdoor exploration. Excitement ran through Kevin as they departed for their campsite. “This trip is going to be awesome, ” Nathan excitedly yelled as they set off. But little did they know that nature had a surprise in store for them. The first day at the campsite was going great, setting up tents, collecting firewood, and sharing stories. “Man, we nailed these tents, ” Kevin said. “I know it was easy really,” Nathan replied. The friends were happy. Yet towards night, as the dark clouds gathered overhead, the atmosphere shifted, and a sudden storm erupted with unforgiving anger. Rain poured down from the heavens like a relentless waterfall, transforming the peaceful campsite into a muddy battleground. Worse still, a huge tree was uprooted and crashed down with a deafening crack on their only means of escape - their car. Kevin’s eyes widened in horror as he spotted the damaged wreckage beneath the fallen giant. “Our car!” he screamed over the howling wind, his voice a mix of disbelief and despair. “We’re stuck here,” he declared, his words barely audible against the backdrop of thunder and raindrops. They realized that their plans had been violently spoiled by forces beyond their control. The once quiet campsite now stood as a deserted battlefield, the fallen tree serving as a painful reminder of the unpredictable nature of the world around them. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next day, they found themselves facing the immediate problem of finding water. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the third night, a distant engine sound broke the terrible stillness. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南宁三中2024～2025学年度下学期高二期中考试 英语试题 2025.4 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

By the third year of my math and stats degree, I’d decided that enough was enough — I wasn’t going to tiptoe (蹑手蹑脚地走) through life in cotton wool. Against the wishes of my parents, I headed off to Canada. I went there alone — just me and my blindness. That taught me your world becomes bigger when you push your limits. In 2020, I took part in a 220-mile hike across Nicaragua alongside 10 other people with disabilities for a BBC program. We had to work as a team to go across tropical rainforests and a lake with sharks, as well as up a 5,000ft volcano. I was pushing a wheelchair through a dense jungle; no amount of exercise could have prepared me for it — it became all about mental toughness. Often, people who are sighted think they need to be good at describing scenery, but they can just describe what they see as a normal conversation. I love it when people give me the overview first; when you look at a picture, you don’t see the little details straight away. As words go into my ears, they translate into beautiful pictures. I’ll keep the imagery and mix it with other sensory details. If I’m at Victoria Falls, I’ll have the falls described to me, and then feel the spray (水花) on my face. I hear the thunderous falls, and I’m aware of their smell. They’re all feelings that add up to an incredible experience. I had one of my most amazing experiences on a floating island in Lake Titicaca. I took a group in 2022, and the indigenous people had never met anybody blind before. When I took another group a few weeks later, they’d made a scale model of the island so that the blind could touch it. It doesn’t matter where you go, finding that connection is priceless. For blind people, it’s natural to feel that the world has closed for you, but when you have a positive mind, obstacles (障碍) become opportunities. 4. How did the author probably feel about his life before heading off to Canada? A. Puzzled. B. Bored. C. Satisfied. D. Inspired. 5. What can be inferred about the author from his hike in 2020? A. He failed to get along with other people. B. He was treated differently during the trip. C. He trained hard to hike through forests. D. He was tested physically and mentally. 6. Compared with normal people, what may the author think is his advantage in touring? A. His combination of various senses. B. His easy and relaxing schedule. C. His rich words and expressions. D. His extraordinary imagination. 7. What can be learned from the author’s experience? A. Time and tide wait for no man. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. To know oneself is true progress. D. Never set boundaries for one’s life. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名盲人不愿再小心翼翼地过生活，决定大胆走出去，独自去了加拿大旅行，及他在游览途中的心得体会。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“... I’d decided that enough was enough — I wasn’t going to tiptoe through life in cotton wool. Against the wishes of my parents, I headed off to Canada.(……我决定受够了——我不想在棉絮里一样蹑手蹑脚地生活。我不顾父母的反对，前往加拿大)”可知，作者在去加拿大之前，对自己的生活感到厌恶，觉得无聊。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“We had to work as a team to go across tropical rainforests and a lake with sharks, as well as up a 5,000ft volcano. I was pushing a wheelchair through a dense jungle; no amount of exercise could have prepared me for it — it became all about mental toughness.(我们必须作为一个团队穿过热带雨林和一个有鲨鱼的湖泊，以及一座5000英尺高的火山。我推着轮椅穿过茂密的丛林；再多的运动也不可能让我为此做好准备——这一切都是关于精神上的坚韧)”可推知，这次的远足对作者的身心都是一个考验。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As words go into my ears, they translate into beautiful pictures. I’ll keep the imagery and mix it with other sensory details. If I’m at Victoria Falls, I’ll have the falls described to me, and then feel the spray (水花) on my face. I hear the thunderous falls, and I’m aware of their smell. They’re all feelings that add up to an incredible experience.(当话语进入我的耳朵，它们就变成了美丽的画面。我将保留图像并将其与其他感官细节混合。如果我在维多利亚瀑布，我会让人向我描述瀑布，然后感受水花打在脸上的感觉。我听到了雷鸣般的瀑布声，我闻到了瀑布的味道。它们都是一种不可思议的体验)”可知，旅行中，和视觉正常的人相比，可以运用更多种感官（听觉、触觉、嗅觉等）综合体验景色。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“That taught me your world becomes bigger when you push your limits.(它教会了我，当你挑战自己的极限时，你的世界会变得更大)”和最后一段“For blind people, it’s natural to feel that the world has closed for you, but when you have a positive mind, obstacles (障碍) become opportunities.(对于盲人来说，感觉世界对你关闭是很自然的，但是当你有一个积极的心态时，障碍就会变成机会)”可知，作者通过自己的体验与感悟告诉我们：当你勇于挑战自我时，你的世界就会变得更加宽广，困难中也蕴含着机会，所以不要给自己的人生设限。故选D项。 C For most of us, imagining a world damaged by the climate crisis is painful. After all, it would require us to accept the inconvenient truth and face our deepest fears. But for French photographer and digital artist Fabien Barrau, doing that is necessary to make us face the fact that we’re headed into a terrible world of our own making. Thus was born News From The Future, a series by Barrau. It explores what famous architectural landmarks around the world will look like in consequence of the climate crisis, and was created with the help of his drone (无人机) and remarkable Photoshop skills. “I remain convinced that a simple image can have much impact on people, especially the young, helping them understand the probabilities of the consequences of inaction, thus to act with urgency to avoid its most catastrophic (灾难的) consequences,” Barrau said. To visualize these catastrophic consequences, Barrau digitally changes drone footage (连续镜头) and previous images — taking the Eiffel Tower to dry extremes, drowning the Statue of Liberty in waist-deep floods (the statue’s waist, not ours), while the Arc de Triomphe seems a decoration of the vast ocean. His series is heavily influenced by existing artworks that explore the collapse of a civilization. For example, the image of two whales swimming above the Arc de Triomphe is to show respect for the French artist Roland Cat, whose work imagined sea creatures swimming above drowned cities. He also credits films like Planet of the Apes and Mad Max as major influences. “I like to do landscape and architecture photography and I have travelled to many countries to photograph amazing environments,” Barrau said. “But over the years, I have increasingly felt the catastrophic effects of the climate crisis on biodiversity, landscapes and people. It seems difficult for me to pretend that nothing changes. I believe that the stories that my images tell can help people realize what the need of the hour is.” 8. What was Barrau’s aim of creating News From The Future? A. To prove a prediction. B. To attract public attention. C. To inspire people’s imagination. D. To improve people’s taste in architecture. 9. Which of the following can best describe Barrau’s works? A. Ordinary but attractive. B. Pleasant and refreshing. C. Realistic and colorful. D. Imaginary but powerful. 10. What does the mention of Roland Cat and two films in Paragraph 4 show? A. Barrau’s contributions to the field of art. B. The inspiration behind Barrau’s creations. C. Barrau’s ambition to enter the film industry. D. The high social recognition of Barrau’s works. 11. What does Barrau expect to do through photography? A. Raise people’s environmental awareness. B. Encourage more people to travel across the world. C. Convince people to be prepared for natural disasters. D. Break down people’s prejudices against photography. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了法国摄影师和数字艺术家Fabien Barrau系列作品《来自未来的新闻》的诞生，他利用无人机和PS技术打造出了一组震撼人心的照片，让我们面对这样一个事实：我们正走向一个由我们自己创造的可怕世界，呼吁人们正视环境和气候问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段末的引文“I remain convinced that a simple image can have much impact on people, especially the young, helping them understand the probabilities of the consequences of inaction, thus to act with urgency to avoid its most catastrophic (灾难的) consequences(我仍然相信，一张简单的照片可以对人们，尤其是年轻人产生很大的影响，帮助他们了解不作为的后果，从而采取紧急行动，避免最灾难性的后果)”可知，Barrau创作这个系列作品的目的是引发公众对环境问题的关注。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To visualize these catastrophic consequences, Barrau digitally changes drone footage and previous images — taking the Eiffel Tower to dry extremes, drowning the Statue of Liberty in waist-deep floods (the statue’s waist, not ours), while the Arc de Triomphe seems a decoration of the vast ocean.(为了将这些灾难性的后果可视化，Barrau用数字技术改变了无人机拍摄的画面和之前的图像——将埃菲尔铁塔置于极端干燥的环境中，将自由女神像淹没在齐腰深的洪水中，而凯旋门似乎是浩瀚海洋的装饰)”可知，文章第3段对Barrau作品的描述，如“将埃菲尔铁塔置于极端干旱中，自由女神像淹没于洪水中”，这些场景虽为虚构，但通过数字技术呈现，具有强烈警示意义，文中提到他利用无人机和Photoshop技能，结合艺术想象，突出作品的虚构性与感染力，所以Barrau的作品是虚构的但是很有冲击力和影响力。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“His series is heavily influenced by existing artworks that explore the collapse of a civilization. For example, the image of two whales swimming above the Arc de Triomphe is to show respect for the French artist Roland Cat, whose work imagined sea creatures swimming above drowned cities. He also credits films like Planet of the Apes and Mad Max as major influences.(他的系列作品在很大程度上受到了现有艺术作品的影响，这些艺术作品探索了文明的崩溃。例如，两只鲸鱼在凯旋门上方游泳的形象是向法国艺术家罗兰·卡特（Roland Cat）致敬，他的作品想象了海洋生物在被淹没的城市上方游泳。他还认为《猩球》和《疯狂的麦克斯》等电影对他的影响很大)”可知，本段提到Roland Cat和两部电影说明了Barrau的系列作品在很大程度上受到了现有的与探索文明消亡相关的艺术作品的影响，说明了Barrau创作的灵感来源。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段末引文“I remain convinced that a simple image can have much impact on people, especially the young, helping them understand the probabilities of the consequences of inaction, thus to act with urgency to avoid its most catastrophic (灾难的) consequences(我仍然相信，一张简单的照片可以对人们，尤其是年轻人产生很大的影响，帮助他们了解不作为的后果，从而采取紧急行动，避免最灾难性的后果)”及最后一段“I believe that the stories that my images tell can help people realize what the need of the hour is.(我相信我的照片所讲述的故事可以帮助人们意识到当前的需求是什么)”可知，Barrau希望通过摄影使人们认识到环境恶化的问题，增强人们的环保意识。故选A项。 D When we discuss our warming planet, we, however, overlook the impact of warming temperatures on our oceans. A new study published by researchers from the University of Exeter explores the link between warming temperatures and their impacts on the ocean’s twilight zone (暮光带). The twilight zone is a region of the ocean that lies between the upper ocean and the deep ocean and is located around 200 to 1,000 meters under the surface. In the upper ocean, tiny plant-like organisms (生物) called phytoplankton turn carbon (碳) from the atmosphere into organic matter. This formation of organic matter, along with other waste matter, produces a shower of organic material. It helps start the ocean’s huge food web as organic matter and other carbon-based products go down from the surface and move through the depths of the ocean. This process by which heat-trapping carbon is stored in deep waters instead of going into the atmosphere is an essential set of processes that control the Earth’s climate system. The ocean’s twilight zone is also home to many creatures. Twilight zone animals consume matter near the upper ocean during the night and return to the deeper waters during the day, directly moving carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean. In this way, the organisms in the twilight zone help. Sadly, the study suggests that up to 40% of twilight zone creatures could disappear by the end of the century. This is because rising temperatures increase the rate at which organic matter is eaten and disappears. As a result, less carbon goes down into the twilight zone and beyond for storage as organic matter. Given that organisms in the twilight zone are highly dependent on going down organic matter, this could put their complex food cycles in danger. However, the authors tell us that we have not yet reached the point that couldn’t be saved and that there is still time for us to act. Not only will this increase our ocean’s carbon cycling processes, but it will also protect beings in the deepest parts of our oceans. 12. What plays a big role in the beginning of ocean creatures’ food web? A. The wide variety of deep-sea creatures. B. Organisms’ activities on the ocean floor. C. The amount of waste matter on the surface. D. Carbon-based products dropping into the twilight zone. 13. How do twilight zone animals’ activities contribute to the Earth? A. By warming the twilight zone. B. By releasing heat-trapping carbon. C. By balancing the Earth’s temperature. D. By clearing waste matter out of the ocean. 14. What may be a result of rising temperatures on twilight zone creatures? A. Smaller living spaces. B. The break of their food chain. C. Better ability to adapt to climate. D. Increased food on the sea surface. 15. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting to protect our ocean B. The future of twilight zone creatures C. The disappearing ocean’s twilight zone creatures D. Unlocking the secrets of organic matter in the ocean 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。海洋暮光带中的生物对全球气候很重要，但随着全球变暖，那里的很多生物可能会死亡。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This formation of organic matter, along with other waste matter, produces a shower of organic material. It helps start the ocean’s huge food web as organic matter and other carbon-based products go down from the surface and move through the depths of the ocean.(这种有机物质的形成，连同其他废物，产生了大量的有机物质。当有机物质和其他碳基产品从海洋表面向下移动并穿过海洋深处时，它有助于启动海洋巨大的食物网)”可知，大量的含碳的有机物质的形成及下沉有助于启动海洋复杂的食物网。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This process by which heat-trapping carbon is stored in deep waters instead of going into the atmosphere is an essential set of processes that control the Earth’s climate system. The ocean’s twilight zone is also home to many creatures. Twilight zone animals consume matter near the upper ocean during the night and return to the deeper waters during the day, directly moving carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean. In this way, the organisms in the twilight zone help.(捕获热量的碳储存在深水中而不是进入大气的过程是控制地球气候系统的一套基本过程。海洋的暮光带也是许多生物的家园。暮光带的动物在夜间消耗上层海洋附近的物质，在白天返回较深的水域，直接将碳从海洋表面转移到深海。在这种情况下，处于暮光带的生物就能提供帮助)”可知，暮光带的生物能将碳转移到深海里，平衡全球气温。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This is because rising temperatures increase the rate at which organic matter is eaten and disappears. As a result, less carbon goes down into the twilight zone and beyond for storage as organic matter. Given that organisms in the twilight zone are highly dependent on going down organic matter, this could put their complex food cycles in danger.(这是因为不断上升的温度加快了有机物被吃掉和消失的速度。其结果是，更少的碳进入暮光带，并以有机物质的形式储存。考虑到生活在过渡带的生物高度依赖于有机物，这可能会使它们复杂的食物循环处于危险之中)”可推知，气温上升可能会导致越来越少的含碳有机物下沉到深海，进一步导致海洋食物链受到影响。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When we discuss our warming planet, we, however, overlook the impact of warming temperatures on our oceans. A new study published by researchers from the University of Exeter explores the link between warming temperatures and their impacts on the ocean’s twilight zone (暮光带).(然而，当我们讨论地球变暖时，我们忽略了温度变暖对海洋的影响。埃克塞特大学的研究人员发表了一项新研究，探讨了气温升高及其对海洋暮光带的影响之间的联系)”以及本文主要讨论了气温上升会导致海洋暮光地带的生物减少，进而影响海洋的生态系统可知，C选项“正在消失的海洋暮光带”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 It's a place like no other in the world.

As he was leaving home, his dad grabbed him by the hand and said, “Before you go, just tell me the directions on where you and your friends are going to stay.” “But dad!” Kevin complained. “No buts!” Kevin’s dad added. “Fine.” Kevin told him the directions and left. The three friends, Kevin, Jay and Nathan, had been planning this adventure for weeks, packing their stuff-tents, snacks, and a map-preparing for a 3-day outdoor exploration. Excitement ran through Kevin as they departed for their campsite. “This trip is going to be awesome, ” Nathan excitedly yelled as they set off. But little did they know that nature had a surprise in store for them. The first day at the campsite was going great, setting up tents, collecting firewood, and sharing stories. “Man, we nailed these tents, ” Kevin said. “I know it was easy really,” Nathan replied. The friends were happy. Yet towards night, as the dark clouds gathered overhead, the atmosphere shifted, and a sudden storm erupted with unforgiving anger. Rain poured down from the heavens like a relentless waterfall, transforming the peaceful campsite into a muddy battleground. Worse still, a huge tree was uprooted and crashed down with a deafening crack on their only means of escape - their car. Kevin’s eyes widened in horror as he spotted the damaged wreckage beneath the fallen giant. “Our car!” he screamed over the howling wind, his voice a mix of disbelief and despair. “We’re stuck here,” he declared, his words barely audible against the backdrop of thunder and raindrops. They realized that their plans had been violently spoiled by forces beyond their control. The once quiet campsite now stood as a deserted battlefield, the fallen tree serving as a painful reminder of the unpredictable nature of the world around them. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next day, they found themselves facing the immediate problem of finding water. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the third night, a distant engine sound broke the terrible stillness. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: The next day, they found themselves facing the immediate problem of finding water. The search for water soon drained their energy. They were about to give up when they heard a small sound, a splash of some sort. They ran as fast as they could and found a small stream-a lifeline in all the challenges.  However, with time passing by, more challenges emerged -limited food, frightful night filled with wilderness sounds, and the uncertainty of survival in the wild.  Their nerves were near the edge of breaking down after long hours of uncertainty in the wilderness. Paragraph 2: On the third night, a distant engine sound broke the terrible stillness. Relief washed over the weary faces as they witnessed the approach of a rugged vehicle. Kevin’s dad stepped out to meet the group. The emotions that played across their faces - disbelief, gratitude, and overwhelming joy- mirrored the shared trouble that had forged a deep bond among them. Back home, Kevin’s dad said, “Good thing you told me those directions,” teaching them the importance of informing someone about plans. The experience turned into tales of courage and resilience, embedded in their memories as lessons for a lifetime. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。凯文和朋友杰伊和内森要去露营，在爸爸的追问下告诉爸爸方向，然后离开了。然而，夜幕降临时，一场突如其来的风暴带着无情的愤怒爆发了。一棵大树，轰然倒下，击中了他们唯一的逃生工具——他们的汽车。他们意识到他们的计划被他们无法控制的力量粗暴地破坏了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“第二天，他们发现自己面临着寻找水的紧迫问题。”可知，第一段可以描写他们寻找水的艰难过程和面临的其它挑战。 ②由第二段句首内容“当他们看到一辆粗犷的车辆驶近时，疲惫的脸上顿时松了一口气。”可知，第二段可以描写他们获救的过程和感悟。 2.续写线索：面临缺水—寻找水源—找到—看到汽车—获救—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使耗尽：drain/exhaust ②放弃：give up/waive ③出现：emerge/appear 情绪类 ①可怕的：frightful/terrifying ②疲倦的：weary/tired 【点睛】【高分句型1】They were about to give up when they heard a small sound, a splash of some sort.( 运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】However, with time passing by, more challenges emerged -limited food, frightful night filled with wilderness sounds, and the uncertainty of survival in the wild.( 运用了with time passing by的with复合结构) 【高分句型3】The emotions that played across their faces - disbelief, gratitude, and overwhelming joy- mirrored the shared trouble that had forged a deep bond among them.
