She was the first woman to fly alone from England to Australia in 1930 and she set a series of other records throughout her career. Amy grew up in Hull, where her father ran a fish export and import business. She worked for a law firm until, at a loose end one Sunday afternoon, she boarded a bus that took her to Stag Lane Aerodrome in North London. There, Amy was immediately attracted by the planes she watched taking off and landing. Soon she started to spend all her spare time at the airfield. During the 1920s and 1930s, aviation (飞行) was controlled by the rich and famous. However, with great effort, Amy was awarded her pilot’s license (执照) in 1929. Unlike today’s pilots, Amy had no radio link with the ground and no dependable information about the weather, and her maps were basic. But daringly, Amy followed the most direct path-simply by placing a rule on the map, which took her over some of the world’s most dangerous places, meaning she had to fly for at least eight hours at a time. On her Australia trip, despite a forced landing in a sandstorm in the Iraq desert, Amy reached India in a record six days. Although the bad weather took away her chance to beat Hinkler’s record, the world’s press started to pay attention and Amy became “The Lone Girl Flyer”. Amy landed in Australia on Saturday, May 24. Over the next six weeks, she was treated like a superstar. Women asked their hairdressers for an “Amy Johnson wave”. At least ten songs were written about her, and the most famous one was Amy, Wonderful Amy performed by Jack Hylton. Fan mail poured in and such was her fame that an envelope addressed to “Amy flies in England” reached its destination. 4. What originally attracted Amy’s interest in aviation? A. Her father’s success in the fish business. B. Her occasional encounter with airplanes. C. Her inborn curiosity about the sky. D. Her trip from England to Australia. 5. What can we learn from Amy’s flying? A. She pioneered a new airline. B. She had poor flight assistance. C. She made a good fortune through it. D. She preferred short-distance flights. 6. What made Amy be noticed by the press? A. Her bravery to face failure. B. Her successful landing despite difficulties. C. Her special destination of flight. D. Her unique taste in fashion. 7. How does Amy sound in the last paragraph? A. Popular. B. Open-minded. C. Well-rounded. D. Independent 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了一位名叫Amy Johnson的女性飞行员在20世纪初期至中期的生活和飞行经历，包括她的成长背景、飞行成就、飞行过程中的挑战和困难，以及她作为一位杰出女性所受到的关注和赞誉。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She worked for a law firm until, at a loose end one Sunday afternoon, she boarded a bus that took her to Stag Lane Aerodrome in North London. There, Amy was immediately attracted by the planes she watched taking off and landing. Soon she started to spend all her spare time at the airfield. (她曾在一家律师事务所工作，直到某个周日下午无所事事时，她搭上了一辆开往伦敦北部斯塔格巷机场的公共汽车。在那里，Amy被眼前起起落落的飞机立刻吸引住了。很快，她就开始把所有业余时间都花在机场。)”可知，Amy最初对航空的兴趣源于她偶然间遇到的飞机。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Unlike today’s pilots, Amy had no radio link with the ground and no dependable information about the weather, and her maps were basic. (与当今的飞行员不同，Amy没有与地面进行无线电联系的设备，也没有可靠的天气信息，而且她的地图也非常基础。)”可知，Amy的飞行辅助设备很差。故选B。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“On her Australia trip, despite a forced landing in a sandstorm in the Iraq desert, Amy reached India in a record six days. Although the bad weather took away her chance to beat Hinkler’s record, the world’s press started to pay attention and Amy became “The Lone Girl Flyer”. (在飞往澳大利亚的途中，尽管Amy曾在伊拉克沙漠的一场沙尘暴中被迫降落，但她还是在六天内创纪录地抵达了印度。虽然恶劣的天气使她失去了打破Hinkler纪录的机会，但全世界的媒体开始关注她，Amy成为了“孤胆女飞人”。)”可推测，Amy即便遇到困难也仍然坚持下去，完成飞行计划。这种在困难中仍不放弃并取得成功的精神很可能使她受到媒体关注。因此，Amy在面对困难时仍成功着陆的表现使她受到了媒体的关注。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Over the next six weeks, she was treated like a superstar. Women asked their hairdressers for an “Amy Johnson wave”. At least ten songs were written about her, and the most famous one was Amy, Wonderful Amy performed by Jack Hylton. Fan mail poured in and such was her fame that an envelope addressed to “Amy flies in England” reached its destination. (在接下来的六周里，她像超级明星一样受到款待。女人们要求理发师给自己剪个“Amy Johnson式”的波浪发型。至少有十首歌是为她而写的，其中最著名的是Jack Hylton演唱的《艾米，了不起的艾米》。粉丝来信如潮水般涌来，她的名气之大以至于一封寄给“在英国飞行的Amy”的信件也成功送达了目的地。)”可知，Amy非常受欢迎。故选A。 C Many diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the factors that increase your chances of dying. Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and strokes. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile! Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile. “When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive.” He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and sometimes the stress has harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support Dr. Chockalingam’s prescription -smile more. Disorders of the heart and blood vessels(血管) are the number one cause of death around the world. The main causes of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels. These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones(激素) that increase your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight- or-flight response. However, when you are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones may lead to health problems. Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is free and it has no bad side effects. “Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To stop people from drinking too much alcohol. B. To show the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. C. To show some factors that can increase the chance of dying. D. To introduce a free and easy way to control the factors of dying. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The patients who smile can get altered. B. Smiling can add to physical and emotional stress. C. Physical and emotional stress must have bad effects. D. When people smile, there will be positive chemicals produced. 10. Which of the following statements is reasonable? A. The smiling patients are foolish. B. Heart attacks and strokes don’t cause death. C. The stress hormones may lead to different results, good or bad. D. When you feel stressed, the body releases many beneficial hormones. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Smiling makes you relaxed. B. You should lead a happy life. C. Smiling is beneficial to your health. D. You should stop leading the unhealthy life. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。本文主要介绍了微笑可以预防、控制死亡因素，改善心血管状态，对健康有好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!”（但你还可以做点别的。它是自由和容易的。微笑！）可推知，第一段作者想引出一种可以控制死亡因素的自由、简单的方法——微笑。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive.”（当我们微笑时，大脑的线路会发生改变。释放出来的化学物质更积极。）可知，我们可以从第二段了解到当人们微笑时，就会产生积极的化学物质。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight- or-flight response. However, when you are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones may lead to health problems.”（如果你真的处于危险之中，这些激素可以帮助你。它们是我们所谓的“战或逃”反应的一部分。然而，当你长时间处于压力之下时，这些压力荷尔蒙可能会导致健康问题。）可知，压力荷尔蒙可能会导致不同的结果，有好有坏，这项陈述是正确的，ABD项均与原文实意不符。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.””（“一旦人们微笑，他们就会放松。这种放松直接降低了血压，提高了血糖水平。如果我们微笑，我们就打破了压力和健康之间的联系。”）由此可知，全文围绕“微笑”与“改善心血管状态和对健康的好处”进行阐述，故文章的主旨是微笑对你的健康有益。故选 C 项 D From long and winding migration flights to complex songs and clever tool use, many bird behaviors are known to be transmitted (传播) socially and persist across generations—what scientists define as animal “culture”. Now a study suggests culture might play a role in bird nest architecture, too. Researchers analyzed more than 400 structures built by 43 different groups of White-browed Sparrow-Weavers in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. These birds live communally, and the entire group works together to build a nest and multiple roosts from grass. The group’s dominant female then lays eggs in the nest, which has a long, tube-like entrance. Individual birds sleep nearby in the U-shaped roosts, which have both an entrance and an exit. The scientists found that different gatherings of birds, even those living only a few meters from one another, built very different tube structures. The biggest difference was in “how short or long the structures are,” says study lead author Maria C. Tello-Ramos, a cognitive ecologist at the University of Hull in England. Tube width also varied between groups. Furthermore, each group maintained the same architectural style over time—and when outsiders joined, they adapted to this style. To examine why the groups built differently, the team analyzed factors that can determine a nest’s size and shape for a given bird species: weather conditions, tree height, individuals’ body size and genetic relatedness. If closely related birds build similar structures, for instance, one might assume a genetic element. Yet none of these factors seemed to play a relevant role in shaping how the Kalahari sparrows built their nests, the researchers report in Science. Tello-Ramos and her colleagues proposed that cultural transmission might be key to nest building. “In our paper, we haven’t gotten there yet with experiments, but we have very good clues that that might be it,” she says. But Christina Riehl, an evolutionary biologist at Princeton University, says, “They can’t actually look at the effect of genetic differences, because they don’t have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups. There’s a lot left to be done, and this paper will inspire future research in a really good way.” 12. What is the text mainly about? A. The role of culture in bird nest architecture. B. The genetic factors in bird nest construction. C. The life habit of White-browed Sparrow-Weavers. D The environmental factors affecting bird nest building. 13. What did the scientists find about the tube structures? A. The structure had the same tube width. B. The tube length was the biggest difference. C. The materials of the tube structures varied. D. Different groups of birds had the same tube structure. 14. Why did the team analyze the decisive factors? A. To identify genetic influences. B. To create the architectural style. C. To give reasons for different nests. D. To explore environmental impacts. 15. What can we infer from Christina Riehl’s statement? A. Genetic factors have been fully proved. B. A lot of further research are badly needed. C. Culture plays a key role in building a bird nest. D. The findings are enough to rule out genetic factors. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对白眉织雀鸟筑巢行为的研究，提出了鸟类文化中可能存在的筑巢行为差异，并探讨了这种差异是否由文化因素而非遗传或其他环境因素所主导。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出许多鸟类行为存在“文化”现象，接着说明一项研究表明文化或许在鸟类巢穴建造中也起作用。然后以白眉织雀为例，介绍了研究人员对它们巢穴的分析，发现不同鸟群巢穴结构不同且风格稳定，外来鸟会适应。之后排除了天气、树高、体型、基因等因素对其筑巢方式的影响，提出文化传播可能是筑巢关键。最后还提到了其他专家对此研究的看法。整体围绕文化在鸟类巢穴建造中的作用展开。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The scientists found that different gatherings of birds, even those living only a few meters from one another, built very different tube structures. The biggest difference was in “how short or long the structures are,” says study lead author Maria C. Tello-Ramos, a cognitive ecologist at the University of Hull in England. Tube width also varied between groups.(科学家们发现，不同的鸟群，即使是那些彼此间仅相距数米的鸟群，所建造的管状结构也大不相同。该研究的主要作者、英国赫尔大学的认知生态学家Maria C. Tello-Ramos表示，最大的差异在于“这些结构的长短”。不同鸟群所建的管道宽度也有所不同。)”可知，科学家发现不同鸟群建造的管状结构差异很大，最大的差异在于结构的长短，而且管道宽度在不同鸟群之间也有所不同。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“To examine why the groups built differently, the team analyzed factors that can determine a nest’s size and shape for a given bird species: weather conditions, tree height, individuals’ body size and genetic relatedness.(为了探究这些鸟群建造方式不同的原因，研究团队分析了可能决定特定鸟类物种巢穴大小和形状的各种因素：天气状况、树的高度、个体的体型大小以及基因关联程度。)”可知，研究团队分析这些决定性因素的目的是为了探究不同鸟群建造方式不同的原因，也就是为不同的鸟巢给出解释。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But Christina Riehl, an evolutionary biologist at Princeton University, says, “They can’t actually look at the effect of genetic differences, because they don’t have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups. There’s a lot left to be done, and this paper will inspire future research in a really good way.”(不过，普林斯顿大学的进化生物学家Christina Riehl表示：“实际上，他们无法研究基因差异所产生的影响，因为他们并没有掌握这些群体中所有个体的确切基因信息。还有很多工作有待完成，而这篇论文将以一种非常有益的方式激发未来的研究。”)”可知，Christina Riehl认为研究人员实际上无法研究基因差异的影响，因为他们没有关于这些群体中所有个体的很好的基因信息，还有很多工作有待完成，并且这篇论文会以一种很好的方式激发未来的研究。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Virtual tourism is like a magic carpet (魔毯) for travel by letting us explore the world digitally in 3D. ____16____ We can climb Everest or walk around Paris from our sofas without worrying about money, distance, or harming the environment.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟旅游的概念、特点、优势、挑战以及未来发展前景。 【16题详解】 根据空前内容“Virtual tourism is like a magic carpet for travel by letting us explore the world digitally in 3D. (虚拟旅游就像一张魔毯，让我们能够在3D环境中数字化地探索世界。)”可知，上文提到虚拟旅游可以让我们在3D环境中数字化地探索世界。选项F“It encourages a travel experience without actually having to travel anywhere. (它鼓励一种旅游体验，而实际上你不需要去任何地方。)”延续上文内容，指出虚拟旅游的优点；同时“without actually having to travel anywhere.”与空后“We can climb Everest or walk around Paris from our sofas without worrying about money, distance, or harming the environment.(我们可以坐在沙发上攀登珠穆朗玛峰，或者漫步巴黎，无需担心金钱、距离或对环境造成伤害。)”中的“from our sofas”保持一致。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据空前内容“Virtual tourism creates worlds for you to visit special versions of real places, like Egypt’s pyramids or New York City streets, without leaving your home. (虚拟旅游能为你创造世界，让你无需离开家就能参观真实地方的特殊版本，如埃及的金字塔或纽约市的街道。)”可知，上文提到虚拟旅游让你无需离开家就可以参观真实地方。选项G“It’s not just looking around; you can take tours, learn stuff, and have adventures.(它不仅仅是四处看看；你可以参观、学习东西，并有冒险经历。)”很好地补充了前文，说明了虚拟旅游不仅仅是简单的观看，还能带来更丰富的体验。故选G。 【18题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“In its simplest form, the “tourist” may watch a video of a tourism destination. More advanced forms include being immersed in an room environment through the use of various supports like a headset and gloves and there may be additional feelings such as movement, touch and smell. (在其最简单的形式中，“游客”可能会观看一个旅游目的地的视频。更高级的形式包括通过使用诸如头戴设备和手套等各种支持设备，沉浸在一个空间环境中，并可能伴有额外的感觉，如运动、触觉和嗅觉。)”可知，本段主要介绍了虚拟旅游的形式。选项E“Virtual tourism takes many forms depending on the technological capability. (虚拟旅游有多种形式，取决于技术能力。)”与本段描述的虚拟旅游的不同形式（观看视频、使用头显和手套等沉浸式体验）相吻合。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文内容“The future of VR tourism looks bright. As technology gets better, VR experiences feel, more real, pulling in more people. New trends include super-realistic settings that better your experience. (虚拟旅游的未来发展前景光明。随着技术的进步，虚拟现实体验感觉更加真实，吸引了更多人。新趋势包括超逼真的设置，这些设置能提升你的体验。)”可知，上文提到了虚拟旅游的未来。选项D“It might go further, offering fun ways to learn about history and nature. (它可能会进一步发展，提供有趣的方式来学习历史和自然。)”，是上文内容的自然延续，展望了虚拟旅游的未来发展方向，即提供更多有趣的学习历史和自然的方式。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据空后内容“This needs much money and research to produce good content that allows us to under - stand this forward-looking field. (这需要很多钱和研究来生产好的内容，让我们能够理解这个前瞻性的领域。)”可推测，空处指的应该和虚拟旅游的不足相关。选项C“There also needs to be more varied VR content about different places. (还需要有更多不同地点的VR内容。)”自然引出下文，指出虚拟旅游需要增加更多地点的VR内容，因此需要很多钱和研究来生产好的内容。故选C。 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。 Mr. James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited Alex Haley, a famous writer, to class. “I need a volunteer to meet him in the school hall and ____21____ him here,” he said.

From the flowing rhythms of calligraphy, ____37____ embodies Confucian discipline, to the symbolic colors in Peking Opera masks that represent ____38____ (history) figures’ moral features, these art forms have earned global ____39____ (recognize) as cultural DNA carriers. The expansion of digital museums in recent years demonstrates how what ____40____ (be) once regional now becomes worldwide. Take Suzhou embroidery (刺绣) as ____41____representative example: its detailed lines of thread that often compose landscapes or poetry showcase techniques perfected over twelve ____42____ (century). Such craftsmanship, deeply ____43____ (root) in China’s traditional agricultural society, reflects an artistic philosophy that values nature-human unity. UNESCO’s decision of 42 Chinese art forms as intangible (无形的) heritage confirms they remain worthy of ____44____ (inherit) by modern generations. Through innovative adaptations — whether AI-assisted stoneware restoration ___45___ dance dramas blending Kunqu opera with holography (全息摄影)—these traditions continue proving that cultural longevity depends not on static copies, but on creative reinterpretation based on ancestral wisdom. 【答案】36. to 37. which 38. historical 39. recognition 40. was 41. a 42. centuries 43. rooted 44. being inherited 45. or 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国传统艺术珍贵且独特，是解码中国精神遗产的途径，像书法、京剧脸谱等已获全球认可。数字博物馆发展让传统艺术走向世界，如苏州刺绣展示了精湛技艺和人与自然和谐的理念。 【36题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：中国传统艺术的珍贵之处在于它作为解读中国精神遗产的入口的独特能力。“the entry to...”是固定表达，意为“…… 的入口；……的途径”。故填to。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：从体现儒家纪律的流畅的书法节奏，到代表历史人物道德特征的京剧面具的象征性色彩，这些艺术形式作为文化DNA的载体赢得了全球的认可。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词“calligraphy”，且从句中缺少主语，指物，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：从体现儒家纪律的流畅的书法节奏，到代表历史人物道德特征的京剧面具的象征性色彩，这些艺术形式作为文化DNA的载体赢得了全球的认可。此处需要一个形容词修饰名词“figures”，“historical”意为“历史的，有关历史的”，“historical figures”表示“历史人物”。故填historical。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：从体现儒家纪律的流畅的书法节奏，到代表历史人物道德特征的京剧面具的象征性色彩，这些艺术形式作为文化DNA的载体赢得了全球的认可。“earn”是及物动词，后面需要接名词作宾语，“recognize”的名词形式是“recognition”，“earn global recognition”表示“获得全球认可”。故填recognition。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：近年来，数字博物馆的扩张表明，曾经是区域性的博物馆如今已成为全球性的博物馆。根据“once”可知，此处描述过去的情况，用一般过去时，主语“what”指代的内容是单数概念，所以be动词用 was。故填was。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：以苏绣为代表：它细致的线条往往构成风景或诗歌，展示了12个世纪以来完善的技术。“take...as an/a example”是固定短语，意为“以…… 为例”，“representative”是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词 a。故填a。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数形式。句意：以苏绣为代表：它细致的线条往往构成风景或诗歌，展示了12个世纪以来完善的技术。“twelve”表示数量，后面接可数名词复数，“century”的复数形式是“centuries”。故填centuries。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种工艺深深植根于中国传统农业社会，反映了一种重视天人合一的艺术哲学。“be rooted in”是固定短语，意为“扎根于，起源于”，此处用过去分词短语“rooted in China’s traditional agricultural society”作后置定语，修饰“craftsmanship”。故填rooted。 【44题详解】 考查动名词的被动语态。句意：联合国教科文组织决定将42种中国艺术形式列为非物质遗产，这证实了它们仍然值得被现代人继承。“be worthy of doing”表示“值得做某事”，且 “they”（指代前面的 “Chinese art forms”）和“inherit”之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动形式“being inherited”。故填being inherited。 【45题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：通过创新改编——无论是人工智能辅助的石器修复，还是将昆曲与全息技术相结合的舞剧——这些传统继续证明，文化的长寿不取决于静态的复制，而是基于祖先智慧的创造性重新诠释。分析句子可知，此处为“whether...or...”是固定句型，意为“无论是……还是……”。故填or。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假如你是李华，你的外国好友Tom最近一放学回家后就玩手机，恰巧你学习了有关习惯循环(habit cycle)的知识，请你写一封建议信，内容包括： 1.写信目的； 2.运用习惯循环进行分析并提出建议； 3.表达期待。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Tom, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Tom, Knowing you’ve been spending a lot of time on your phone right after school recently, I’m writing to share some thoughts.

Even in early October, the temperature had rose to 38℃ — another record-breaking day in what scientists called “the hottest year in human history.” Sweat dripped down her neck as she passed withered (枯萎的) trees lining the street, their leaves crisp and brown from months of drought. Suddenly, a deafening crack split the sky. Dark clouds swallowed the sun, and wind whipped (抽打) trash into small tornadoes. Maya barely made it to her corridor before hailstones began pounding the roof. Through the living room window, she watched Mr. Thompson’s greenhouse break into a thousand glittering pieces. The storm died as suddenly as it began. When Maya stepped outside, her shoes sank into ankle-deep water. The neighborhood looked like a warzone: flooded streets, uprooted bushes, and a thick layer of ice coating everything. Her phone buzzed with emergency alerts — “Extreme weather alarm!” That evening, the power remained out. By candlelight, Maya looked through climate disaster headlines on her dying phone battery: melting glaciers, displaced polar bears, wildfires consuming ancient forests. A lump formed in her throat. She remembered her grandmother’s stories about gentle autumn rains and predictable seasons — a world that no longer existed. “Mom,” Maya whispered as they boiled water on the gas stove, “what if this keeps getting worse?” Her mother sighed, “We’re past the ‘what if’ phase, sweetheart. This is worse. But maybe not too late to make it less terrible.” A spark was burning in Maya’s chest. She grabbed a notebook and began drafting things. On the pages, her ideas flowed like a river, unstoppable and fierce. In the end she succeeded in outlining a plan for an initiative. When her best friend Aisha video-called at dawn, Maya did not say hello. She pushed the notebook in front of the camera: “STUDENT CLIMATE ACTION PLAN” in bold letters. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Maya flipped her notebook open, eyes sparkling. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Their momentum (势头) grew like wildfire. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Maya flipped her notebook open, eyes sparkling. “Look, Aisha,” she said eagerly. “We can start a campaign at school. First, we set up a recycling program to reduce waste. Then, we organize carpooling to cut down on emissions. And we could even plant trees in the schoolyard to absorb carbon dioxide.” Aisha’s eyes widened with excitement. “That’s amazing, Maya! Let’s do it.” They immediately started making phone calls, reaching out to classmates and teachers. They created posters and flyers, spreading the word about their plan. Paragraph 2: Their momentum (势头) grew like wildfire. Students from different grades joined in, each eager to contribute. The school administration provided support, allocating resources for their projects. Local media caught wind of their initiative and came to cover the story. Inspired by their efforts, other schools in the area also began their own climate action plans. Maya and Aisha watched with pride as their small idea blossomed into a large-scale movement, bringing hope for a more sustainable future in the face of the climate crisis. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Maya在一场极端天气事件后，受到启发并与朋友Aisha共同发起学生气候行动计划的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Maya翻开笔记本，眼睛里闪烁着光芒。”以及第二段首句内容“她们的行动势头如野火般迅速蔓延开来。”可知，第一段可描写Maya向Aisha介绍了这个计划，两个人决定着手宣传这个计划。 ②由第二段首句内容“她们的行动势头如野火般迅速蔓延开来。”可知，第二段可描写她们的行动得到了很多人的支持。 2.续写线索：Maya翻开笔记本，赶紧向Aisha介绍了自己的这个计划——Aisha觉得这个计划非常棒——俩人开始联系同学和老师，制作了海报，开始宣传她们的计划———她们的行动势头如野火般迅速蔓延开来——许多年级的学生加入了进来——每个人都渴望贡献自己的一份力量——甚至媒体也开始报道这个故事——在她们的努力鼓舞下，该地区的其他学校也开始制定自己的气候行动计划 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/initiate ②建立：set up/establish ③组织：organize/conduct 情绪类 ①令人惊叹：amazing/marvelous/surprising ②渴望的：eager/desperate 【点睛】【高分句型1】They immediately started making phone calls, reaching out to classmates and teachers.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Maya and Aisha watched with pride as their small idea blossomed into a large-scale movement, bringing hope for a more sustainable future in the face of the climate crisis.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南昌市第十五中学2024-2025高二下第一次月考 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，你将有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.

B Amy Johnson was one of the most influential and inspirational women of the twentieth century. She was the first woman to fly alone from England to Australia in 1930 and she set a series of other records throughout her career. Amy grew up in Hull, where her father ran a fish export and import business. She worked for a law firm until, at a loose end one Sunday afternoon, she boarded a bus that took her to Stag Lane Aerodrome in North London. There, Amy was immediately attracted by the planes she watched taking off and landing. Soon she started to spend all her spare time at the airfield. During the 1920s and 1930s, aviation (飞行) was controlled by the rich and famous. However, with great effort, Amy was awarded her pilot’s license (执照) in 1929. Unlike today’s pilots, Amy had no radio link with the ground and no dependable information about the weather, and her maps were basic. But daringly, Amy followed the most direct path-simply by placing a rule on the map, which took her over some of the world’s most dangerous places, meaning she had to fly for at least eight hours at a time. On her Australia trip, despite a forced landing in a sandstorm in the Iraq desert, Amy reached India in a record six days. Although the bad weather took away her chance to beat Hinkler’s record, the world’s press started to pay attention and Amy became “The Lone Girl Flyer”. Amy landed in Australia on Saturday, May 24. Over the next six weeks, she was treated like a superstar. Women asked their hairdressers for an “Amy Johnson wave”. At least ten songs were written about her, and the most famous one was Amy, Wonderful Amy performed by Jack Hylton. Fan mail poured in and such was her fame that an envelope addressed to “Amy flies in England” reached its destination. 4. What originally attracted Amy’s interest in aviation? A. Her father’s success in the fish business. B. Her occasional encounter with airplanes. C. Her inborn curiosity about the sky. D. Her trip from England to Australia. 5. What can we learn from Amy’s flying? A. She pioneered a new airline. B. She had poor flight assistance. C. She made a good fortune through it. D. She preferred short-distance flights. 6. What made Amy be noticed by the press? A. Her bravery to face failure. B. Her successful landing despite difficulties. C. Her special destination of flight. D. Her unique taste in fashion. 7. How does Amy sound in the last paragraph? A. Popular. B. Open-minded. C. Well-rounded. D. Independent C Many diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the factors that increase your chances of dying. Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and strokes. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile! Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile. “When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive.” He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and sometimes the stress has harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support Dr. Chockalingam’s prescription -smile more. Disorders of the heart and blood vessels(血管) are the number one cause of death around the world. The main causes of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels. These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones(激素) that increase your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight- or-flight response. However, when you are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones may lead to health problems. Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is free and it has no bad side effects. “Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To stop people from drinking too much alcohol. B. To show the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. C. To show some factors that can increase the chance of dying. D. To introduce a free and easy way to control the factors of dying. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The patients who smile can get altered. B. Smiling can add to physical and emotional stress. C. Physical and emotional stress must have bad effects. D. When people smile, there will be positive chemicals produced. 10. Which of the following statements is reasonable? A. The smiling patients are foolish. B. Heart attacks and strokes don’t cause death. C. The stress hormones may lead to different results, good or bad. D. When you feel stressed the body releases many beneficial hormones. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Smiling makes you relaxed. B. You should lead a happy life. C. Smiling is beneficial to your health. D. You should stop leading the unhealthy life. D From long and winding migration flights to complex songs and clever tool use, many bird behaviors are known to be transmitted (传播) socially and persist across generations—what scientists define as animal “culture”. Now a study suggests culture might play a role in bird nest architecture, too. Researchers analyzed more than 400 structures built by 43 different groups of White-browed Sparrow-Weavers in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. These birds live communally, and the entire group works together to build a nest and multiple roosts from grass. The group’s dominant female then lays eggs in the nest, which has a long, tube-like entrance. Individual birds sleep nearby in the U-shaped roosts, which have both an entrance and an exit. The scientists found that different gatherings of birds, even those living only a few meters from one another, built very different tube structures. The biggest difference was in “how short or long the structures are,” says study lead author Maria C. Tello-Ramos, a cognitive ecologist at the University of Hull in England. Tube width also varied between groups. Furthermore, each group maintained the same architectural style over time—and when outsiders joined, they adapted to this style. To examine why the groups built differently, the team analyzed factors that can determine a nest’s size and shape for a given bird species: weather conditions, tree height, individuals’ body size and genetic relatedness. If closely related birds build similar structures, for instance, one might assume a genetic element. Yet none of these factors seemed to play a relevant role in shaping how the Kalahari sparrows built their nests, the researchers report in Science. Tello-Ramos and her colleagues proposed that cultural transmission might be key to nest building. “In our paper, we haven’t gotten there yet with experiments, but we have very good clues that that might be it,” she says. But Christina Riehl, an evolutionary biologist at Princeton University, says, “They can’t actually look at the effect of genetic differences, because they don’t have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups. There’s a lot left to be done, and this paper will inspire future research in a really good way.” 12. What is the text mainly about? A. The role of culture in bird nest architecture. B. The genetic factors in bird nest construction. C. The life habit of White-browed Sparrow-Weavers. D. The environmental factors affecting bird nest building. 13. What did the scientists find about the tube structures? A. The structure had the same tube width. B. The tube length was the biggest difference. C. The materials of the tube structures varied. D. Different groups of birds had the same tube structure. 14. Why did the team analyze the decisive factors? A. To identify genetic influences. B. To create the architectural style. C. To give reasons for different nests. D. To explore environmental impacts. 15. What can we infer from Christina Riehl’s statement? A. Genetic factors have been fully proved. B. A lot of further research are badly needed. C. Culture plays a key role in building a bird nest. D. The findings are enough to rule out genetic factors. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Virtual tourism is like a magic carpet (魔毯) for travel by letting us explore the world digitally in 3D. ____16____ We can climb Everest or walk around Paris from our sofas without worrying about money, distance, or harming the environment.

Even in early October, the temperature had rose to 38℃ — another record-breaking day in what scientists called “the hottest year in human history.” Sweat dripped down her neck as she passed withered (枯萎) trees lining the street, their leaves crisp and brown from months of drought. Suddenly, a deafening crack split the sky. Dark clouds swallowed the sun, and wind whipped (抽打) trash into small tornadoes. Maya barely made it to her corridor before hailstones began pounding the roof. Through the living room window, she watched Mr. Thompson’s greenhouse break into a thousand glittering pieces. The storm died as suddenly as it began. When Maya stepped outside, her shoes sank into ankle-deep water. The neighborhood looked like a warzone: flooded streets, uprooted bushes, and a thick layer of ice coating everything. Her phone buzzed with emergency alerts — “Extreme weather alarm!” That evening, the power remained out. By candlelight, Maya looked through climate disaster headlines on her dying phone battery: melting glaciers, displaced polar bears, wildfires consuming ancient forests. A lump formed in her throat. She remembered her grandmother’s stories about gentle autumn rains and predictable seasons — a world that no longer existed. “Mom,” Maya whispered as they boiled water on the gas stove, “what if this keeps getting worse?” Her mother sighed, “We’re past the ‘what if’ phase, sweetheart. This is worse. But maybe not too late to make it less terrible.” A spark was burning in Maya’s chest. She grabbed a notebook and began drafting things. On the pages, her ideas flowed like a river, unstoppable and fierce. In the end she succeeded in outlining a plan for an initiative. When her best friend Aisha video-called at dawn, Maya did not say hello. She pushed the notebook in front of the camera: “STUDENT CLIMATE ACTION PLAN” in bold letters. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Maya flipped her notebook open, eyes sparkling. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Their momentum (势头) grew like wildfire. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
