Here are some of the best sights it has to offer. A Hotel in Nature Chaoranpai International Hotel is only 2 kilometers away from the Lijiang River Source Grand Canyon. By taking both the ecological design and standards of 5-star hotels into account this hotel has integrated modern services and nature. The hotel also offers entertainments such as go-carting, cosplay of counter strike and Chinese-style tea houses. Hemlock Spruce — Living Fossils from the Ice Age Hemlock spruce is found at altitude between 1,600 and 1,800 meters, with one area recognized as China’s only hemlock spruce forest, having as many as 130 of them. Hemlock spruce, along with dawn redwoods and ginkgos, is “a living fossil”. Resistant to all cold-weather risks, it stays green throughout the year. A Heaven of Fauna and Flora Mao’er Mountain is abundant in rare animals and plants. Inhabited by 2484 species of plants and 345 species of vertebrates, this place can serve as a natural gene bank. And surprisingly, a rare alpine wetland featuring evergreen broad-leaved trees has found a way of surviving in the dwarf forest at a high altitude. The “Millennium Kiss” Wonder It’s a miracle that two trees have existed together and grown for around a thousand years. It’s even more breathtaking to see the two trees gradually getting close to each other and having a little “kiss”. What a lovely sight it is in the natural beauty of Mao’er Mountain! 1. Which place has a rich variety of species? A. Grand Canyon. B. Hemlock spruce forest. C. Mao’er Mountain. D. Chaoranpai International Hotel. 2. What do hemlock spruce and The “Millennium Kiss” Wonder have in common? A. They enjoy a long history. B. They are at high altitude. C. They remain green all year round. D. They feature various amusements. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A review. B. A magazine. C. A documentary. D. A report. B I am the only Maida I know. This is true in Uruguay (乌拉圭), where I was born, and in Canada, the country that guided me through girlhood. My name has roots in some Portuguese situation comedies where my mother heard “Maira” and decided she liked “Maida” more. My name is passed between grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins like warm bread at the dinner table. Maida is also My-dah to strangers who see their culture in mine. The woman who watches a group of kids after school. The man who paints houses in the neighborhood. The girl in the park who looks like me. The people who feel my name in their mind like their heritage. One day, like many children, I walked down the steps of my house and came back a different person. I don’t remember who first struggled to say my name, or how it happened, but I accepted it. I accepted the mispronunciation “May-dah” to fit in, wanting to be approachable and memorable without showcasing my immigrant background. This mindset followed me through university and into my career, where I felt the need to please others and disappear into the background. When words such as diversity and inclusion went from occasional e-mails to important departments, the trend turned. New voices and ideas entered our boardrooms, encouraging people to be themselves at work. Companies raced to remove old ideals about culture, gender and identity, replacing them with new terms and lessons on understanding. The shift was good for business, but terrible for me. Now, I was out in the open. The mispronunciation of my name became obvious, and I struggled with the expectations and discomfort of maintaining my identity. Over time, I allowed both pronunciations of my name, recognizing the efforts of others and eventually embracing the opportunity to educate. Today, I stand determined, welcoming those who make the effort to pronounce my name correctly. My name is Maida, pronounced as “My-dah”, a proud proof to my identity. 4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Family and cultural ties linked to her name. B. Struggling to balance two cultural identities. C. Daily interactions with multicultural neighbors. D. Family members changing her name for language reasons. 5. What does the phrase “came back a different person” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. She tried hard to make others happy. B. She physically transformed after an accident. C. She decided to reject her Uruguayan heritage. D. She began hiding her cultural identity to fit in. 6. How did the trend in companies influence the author? A. It inspired her to address cultural gaps in the workplace. B. It increased her willingness to discuss cultural topics openly. C. It forced her to face discomfort about her mispronounced name. D. It improved her career opportunities through cultural awareness. 7. What does the last paragraph imply? A. She regrets not embracing her identity sooner. B. She proudly insists on the correct pronunciation. C. She accepts both pronunciations to avoid conflicts. D. She considers her name less important than her career. C Forty percent of toddlers (幼儿) have their own tablet by the time they are 2 years old, according to a report released Wednesday by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit research organization. It investigates parents about their children’s media use, looking at media habits in kids aged 8 and younger and measuring daily behavior such as time spent looking at screens, what kind of programming kids consumed, and differences in habits depending on gender and socioeconomic status. The most significant changes it has found over the last few years were not in the amount of time kids spend on screens, but in the way they consume media and the type of media they consume. Jim Steyer is CEO of Common Sense Media. Steyer says while there is no cure-all for managing screen time, there are helpful strategies. “Delay, delay, delay,” says Steyer, referring to when parents should start letting their children use various devices. “Whether it’s a cellphone, a tablet or whatever.” “It’s important,” says Steyer, “for parents to know what their kids are doing on screens.” Many shows, apps and games for young children are designed to be especially engaging on handheld devices. “The more autonomy (自主权) children have over these devices, the more danger they present,” he says. He advises parents to direct their children towards healthier content and to watch programs alongside children and discuss the content with them. “If you go on a device with your child and explore the content with the child, it enriches the experience of the child and yourself,” says Steyer. This was the first year the survey asked questions about artificial intelligence (AI). Nearly one in three young kids now uses AI for learning, which Steyer says presents a unique set of new obstacles since it’s difficult for kids to distinguish what is true or not with information presented to them by AI. Though screen time is a frightening problem, the worst thing parents can do is to throw up their hands and ignore it. 8. How did the researchers gather data on children’s media habits? A By interviewing teachers about classroom screen usage. B. By recording children’s routine operations on educational apps. C. By observing children’s screen time in controlled environments. D. By surveying parents about their children’s daily employment of media. 9. What is Jim Steyer’s suggestion for parents? A. Monitoring their children’s digital behaviors. B. Banning their children’s screen-based activities. C. Allowing their children’s autonomy over devices. D. Focusing on their children’s academic performance. 10. Why is AI usage among children mentioned as a challenge? A. It increases screen time. B. It limits creativity in learning. C. It reduces parental involvement. D. It contains misleading information. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To warn parents of toddlers’ early tablet use. B. To show a new study on toddlers’ behavior. C. To provide guidance on screen time management. D. To highlight the growing role of AI in children’s education. D Chinese scientists have discovered what determined the distribution of unique high-altitude plants across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, thereby answering a major global scientific question. “For decades, scientists have tried to understand how these mountain-specific plants developed their unique distribution patterns,” said Wang Tao, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research. Working with researchers from home and abroad, Wang’s team found that historical shifts in tree growth limits—the highest altitude at which trees can survive—played a crucial role. It is widely accepted that the uplift of the plateau played a key role in the origin of its plants, while periodic climate changes during the Quaternary Period (about 2.6 million years ago) drove the diversification of species. Earlier studies have warned that global warming pushes trees higher up mountains, squeezing the habitat of high-altitude plants. “In addition to the Quaternary climate fluctuations (波动), the fluctuations regarding past tree line shifts have also influenced the diversity of unique high-altitude species in highland, a factor that had not been explored before,” Wang said. The study found that the average altitude of the tree line in the distant past on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau varied from roughly 3,426 meters to 4,187 meters. The fluctuations in tree line altitude between glacial and interglacial periods reached up to 850 meters, causing the habitat area for unique high-altitude species during interglacial periods to be about 50 percent of the habitat area during glacial periods. “Areas with stable environments over time developed more unique plant mixes. In contrast, regions with frequent tree line changes had simpler, more uniform plant communities,” Wang said. “Think of environmental changes as a filter—only the toughest species survive repeated shifts, making plant groups look similar.” According to the study, rapid warming and rising tree lines could threaten the plateau’s unique plants. “These species aren’t built to handle double pressures from climate change and invading (入侵的) trees,” said Wang. “Our findings help design better protection plans.” 12. What led to the diversity of plants according to Wang’s research? A. Historical tree line changes. B. The uplift of the plateau. C. Worsening climate conditions. D. The loss of the habitats. 13. What do the numbers in paragraph 5 indicate? A. The influence of human activities on global warming. B. The ability of high-altitude plants to survive extreme cold. C. The temperature differences between different periods. D. The impact of plant line shifts on habitat reduction. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 6? A. Growing like a weed. B. Survival of the fittest. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. A tree is known by its fruit. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Role of Glaciers in Plant Evolution B. New Light Thrown on Diversity of Plateau’s Plants C. Climate Change and the Decline of High-altitude Species D. Human Impact on the Qinghai-Tibet Ecosystem 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。 Many people aren’t consciously aware of themselves or how they come across to other people. ___16___.

They decided to throw a horse-themed party because Madison liked horses so much. She had a horse named Star and she loved to talk about it at school. “I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert!” Madison said abruptly. “We already discussed this. You are inviting all the girls from your class.” “But I don’t like Lucy Gilbert!” “Madison, you are being unreasonable. How would you feel if every girl in your class was invited to a party but you?” Dad tried to talk some sense into her. “Come on, Madison. Lucy is a new girl in class. They just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone.” Madison felt annoyed at her father’s insistence on inviting Lucy. She thought about Lucy always sitting in the corner all by herself, not talking to anyone and braiding (编织) something. Saturday morning, Madison and her parents were blowing up balloons and getting everything ready for the party. A few hours later, most of the girls were at the party, but she didn’t see Lucy. How she wished that Lucy wasn’t coming! She was afraid she’s going to ruin everything. Just at that moment, Lucy arrived in a faded dress. Dad gave Madison a gentle push on the back and asked her to give Lucy a warm welcome. Madison did as told unwillingly and turned back to other girls in a few seconds. Lucy placed her present on the table. She looked around the room for a moment and then walked to a chair in the corner and sat down by herself. “See! I told you!” Madison said to her dad with a satisfied smile. Later, all the girls were gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Madison picked up the present and ripped open the giftwrap paper. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Lucy’s efforts at the present, Madison suddenly felt so bad. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 龙岩市一级校联盟2024—2025学年第二学期半期考联考 高二英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

This is true in Uruguay (乌拉圭), where I was born, and in Canada, the country that guided me through girlhood. My name has roots in some Portuguese situation comedies where my mother heard “Maira” and decided she liked “Maida” more. My name is passed between grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins like warm bread at the dinner table. Maida is also My-dah to strangers who see their culture in mine. The woman who watches a group of kids after school. The man who paints houses in the neighborhood. The girl in the park who looks like me. The people who feel my name in their mind like their heritage. One day, like many children, I walked down the steps of my house and came back a different person. I don’t remember who first struggled to say my name, or how it happened, but I accepted it. I accepted the mispronunciation “May-dah” to fit in, wanting to be approachable and memorable without showcasing my immigrant background. This mindset followed me through university and into my career, where I felt the need to please others and disappear into the background. When words such as diversity and inclusion went from occasional e-mails to important departments, the trend turned. New voices and ideas entered our boardrooms, encouraging people to be themselves at work. Companies raced to remove old ideals about culture, gender and identity, replacing them with new terms and lessons on understanding. The shift was good for business, but terrible for me. Now, I was out in the open. The mispronunciation of my name became obvious, and I struggled with the expectations and discomfort of maintaining my identity. Over time, I allowed both pronunciations of my name, recognizing the efforts of others and eventually embracing the opportunity to educate. Today, I stand determined, welcoming those who make the effort to pronounce my name correctly. My name is Maida, pronounced as “My-dah”, a proud proof to my identity. 4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Family and cultural ties linked to her name. B. Struggling to balance two cultural identities. C. Daily interactions with multicultural neighbors. D. Family members changing her name for language reasons. 5. What does the phrase “came back a different person” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. She tried hard to make others happy. B. She physically transformed after an accident. C. She decided to reject her Uruguayan heritage. D. She began hiding her cultural identity to fit in. 6. How did the trend in companies influence the author? A. It inspired her to address cultural gaps in the workplace. B. It increased her willingness to discuss cultural topics openly. C. It forced her to face discomfort about her mispronounced name. D. It improved her career opportunities through cultural awareness. 7. What does the last paragraph imply? A. She regrets not embracing her identity sooner. B. She proudly insists on the correct pronunciation. C. She accepts both pronunciations to avoid conflicts. D. She considers her name less important than her career. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要围绕着别人对作者名字的发音错误而展开，说明了作者为了融入而逐渐接受这种错误。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“My name is passed between grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins like warm bread at the dinner table. Maida is also My-dah to strangers who see their culture in mine. The woman who watches a group of kids after school. The man who paints houses in the neighborhood. The girl in the park who looks like me. The people who feel my name in their mind like their heritage.(我的名字就像餐桌上的热面包一样，在祖父母、父母、阿姨、叔叔和表兄妹之间传颂。Maida也是那些在我的文化中看到他们的文化的陌生人的My-dah。那个在放学后照看一群孩子的女人。那个在附近刷房子的人。公园里那个长得像我的女孩。那些把我的名字记在心里的人就像他们的遗产一样)”可知，第二段的主要内容是与她的名字有关的家庭和文化纽带。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I don’t remember who first struggled to say my name, or how it happened, but I accepted it.(我不记得是谁第一次挣扎着说出我的名字，也不记得是怎么发生的，但我接受了)”以及第四段“I accepted the mispronunciation “May-dah” to fit in, wanting to be approachable and memorable without showcasing my immigrant background. (我接受了这个发音错误的“May-dah”来适应，想要在不展示我的移民背景的情况下变得平易近人和令人难忘)”可知，作者开始接受别人对自己名词的错误发音，说明她开始隐藏自己的文化身份以适应。故划线词意思是“她开始隐藏自己的文化身份以适应”。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“The mispronunciation of my name became obvious, and I struggled with the expectations and discomfort of maintaining my identity.(我名字的发音错误变得很明显，我挣扎于保持自己身份的期望和不适)”以及倒数第二段“Over time, I allowed both pronunciations of my name, recognizing the efforts of others and eventually embracing the opportunity to educate.(随着时间的推移，我允许我的名字的两种发音，认识到其他人的努力，并最终接受了教育的机会)”可知，公司的趋势迫使她面对自己念错的名字带来的不适。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, I stand determined, welcoming those who make the effort to pronounce my name correctly. My name is Maida, pronounced as “My-dah”, a proud proof to my identity.(今天，我坚定地欢迎那些努力念对我名字的人。我的名字是Maida，发音为“My-dah”，这是我身份的骄傲证明)”可知，最后一段暗示了她骄傲地坚持正确的发音。故选B。 C Forty percent of toddlers (幼儿) have their own tablet by the time they are 2 years old, according to a report released Wednesday by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit research organization. It investigates parents about their children’s media use, looking at media habits in kids aged 8 and younger and measuring daily behavior such as time spent looking at screens, what kind of programming kids consumed, and differences in habits depending on gender and socioeconomic status. The most significant changes it has found over the last few years were not in the amount of time kids spend on screens, but in the way they consume media and the type of media they consume. Jim Steyer is CEO of Common Sense Media. Steyer says while there is no cure-all for managing screen time, there are helpful strategies. “Delay, delay, delay,” says Steyer, referring to when parents should start letting their children use various devices. “Whether it’s a cellphone, a tablet or whatever.” “It’s important,” says Steyer, “for parents to know what their kids are doing on screens.” Many shows, apps and games for young children are designed to be especially engaging on handheld devices. “The more autonomy (自主权) children have over these devices, the more danger they present,” he says. He advises parents to direct their children towards healthier content and to watch programs alongside children and discuss the content with them. “If you go on a device with your child and explore the content with the child, it enriches the experience of the child and yourself,” says Steyer. This was the first year the survey asked questions about artificial intelligence (AI). Nearly one in three young kids now uses AI for learning, which Steyer says presents a unique set of new obstacles since it’s difficult for kids to distinguish what is true or not with information presented to them by AI. Though screen time is a frightening problem, the worst thing parents can do is to throw up their hands and ignore it. 8. How did the researchers gather data on children’s media habits? A. By interviewing teachers about classroom screen usage. B. By recording children’s routine operations on educational apps. C. By observing children’s screen time in controlled environments. D. By surveying parents about their children’s daily employment of media. 9. What is Jim Steyer’s suggestion for parents? A. Monitoring their children’s digital behaviors. B. Banning their children’s screen-based activities. C. Allowing their children’s autonomy over devices. D. Focusing on their children’s academic performance. 10. Why is AI usage among children mentioned as a challenge? A. It increases screen time. B. It limits creativity in learning. C. It reduces parental involvement. D. It contains misleading information. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To warn parents of toddlers’ early tablet use. B. To show a new study on toddlers’ behavior. C. To provide guidance on screen time management. D. To highlight the growing role of AI in children’s education. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究显示幼儿媒体使用有变化，Jim Steyer为家长提供屏幕时间管理策略，还提及AI使用带来的挑战 。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“It investigates parents about their children’s media use, looking at media habits in kids aged 8 and younger and measuring daily behavior such as time spent looking at screens, what kind of programming kids consumed, and differences in habits depending on gender and socioeconomic status.(它对家长们进行调查，了解他们孩子使用媒体的情况，研究8岁及以下儿童的媒体使用习惯，并衡量他们的日常行为，比如看屏幕的时间、孩子们观看的节目类型，以及因性别和社会经济地位不同而产生的习惯差异)”可知，研究人员是通过调查家长关于他们孩子日常使用媒体的情况来收集数据的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“‘It’s important,’ says Steyer, ‘for parents to know what their kids are doing on screens.’(施泰尔说：‘家长了解他们的孩子在屏幕上做什么是很重要的。’)”以及他后面提到的孩子对设备的自主权越大，危险越大可知，Jim Steyer建议家长监控孩子的数字行为。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“Nearly one in three young kids now uses AI for learning, which Steyer says presents a unique set of new obstacles since it’s difficult for kids to distinguish what is true or not with information presented to them by AI.(现在，近三分之一的幼儿使用人工智能进行学习，施泰尔说，这带来了一系列独特的新障碍，因为孩子们很难区分人工智能提供给他们的信息是真是假)”可知，提到孩子使用人工智能是一个挑战是因为它包含有误导性的信息。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开头指出幼儿使用平板电脑的情况，接着介绍了研究发现的孩子使用媒体的变化，然后重点阐述了Jim Steyer对于管理孩子屏幕时间的建议，包括延迟让孩子使用设备、了解孩子在屏幕上的行为、引导孩子接触健康内容并一起观看讨论等，最后还提到了人工智能带来的新问题。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为屏幕时间管理提供指导。故选C。 D Chinese scientists have discovered what determined the distribution of unique high-altitude plants across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, thereby answering a major global scientific question. “For decades, scientists have tried to understand how these mountain-specific plants developed their unique distribution patterns,” said Wang Tao, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research. Working with researchers from home and abroad, Wang’s team found that historical shifts in tree growth limits—the highest altitude at which trees can survive—played a crucial role. It is widely accepted that the uplift of the plateau played a key role in the origin of its plants, while periodic climate changes during the Quaternary Period (about 2.6 million years ago) drove the diversification of species. Earlier studies have warned that global warming pushes trees higher up mountains, squeezing the habitat of high-altitude plants. “In addition to the Quaternary climate fluctuations (波动), the fluctuations regarding past tree line shifts have also influenced the diversity of unique high-altitude species in highland, a factor that had not been explored before,” Wang said. The study found that the average altitude of the tree line in the distant past on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau varied from roughly 3,426 meters to 4,187 meters. The fluctuations in tree line altitude between glacial and interglacial periods reached up to 850 meters, causing the habitat area for unique high-altitude species during interglacial periods to be about 50 percent of the habitat area during glacial periods. “Areas with stable environments over time developed more unique plant mixes. In contrast, regions with frequent tree line changes had simpler, more uniform plant communities,” Wang said. “Think of environmental changes as a filter—only the toughest species survive repeated shifts, making plant groups look similar.” According to the study, rapid warming and rising tree lines could threaten the plateau’s unique plants. “These species aren’t built to handle double pressures from climate change and invading (入侵的) trees,” said Wang. “Our findings help design better protection plans.” 12. What led to the diversity of plants according to Wang’s research? A. Historical tree line changes. B. The uplift of the plateau. C. Worsening climate conditions. D. The loss of the habitats. 13. What do the numbers in paragraph 5 indicate? A. The influence of human activities on global warming. B. The ability of high-altitude plants to survive extreme cold. C. The temperature differences between different periods. D. The impact of plant line shifts on habitat reduction. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 6? A. Growing like a weed. B. Survival of the fittest. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. A tree is known by its fruit. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Role of Glaciers in Plant Evolution B. New Light Thrown on Diversity of Plateau’s Plants C. Climate Change and the Decline of High-altitude Species D. Human Impact on the Qinghai-Tibet Ecosystem 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。中国科学家发现历史林线变化等因素决定青藏高原高海拔植物分布，该研究有助于制定保护计划 。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘In addition to the Quaternary climate fluctuations (波动), the fluctuations regarding past tree line shifts have also influenced the diversity of unique high-altitude species in highland, a factor that had not been explored before,’ Wang said.(王涛说：‘除了第四纪气候波动外，过去林线变化的波动也影响了高原独特高海拔物种的多样性，这是一个以前从未被探讨过的因素。’)”可知，除了第四纪气候波动，过去林线变化的波动也对高原独特高海拔物种的多样性产生了影响，且这是一个新发现的影响因素。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The study found that the average altitude of the tree line in the distant past on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau varied from roughly 3,426 meters to 4,187 meters. The fluctuations in tree line altitude between glacial and interglacial periods reached up to 850 meters, causing the habitat area for unique high-altitude species during interglacial periods to be about 50 percent of the habitat area during glacial periods.(研究发现，在遥远的过去，青藏高原林线的平均海拔大致在3426米到4187米之间变化。冰川期和间冰期之间林线海拔的波动高达850米，这使得间冰期独特高海拔物种的栖息地面积约为冰川期栖息地面积的 50%。)”可知，通过这些数字表明了林线海拔的波动导致了独特高海拔物种栖息地面积的变化，间冰期的栖息地面积大幅减少。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“‘Areas with stable environments over time developed more unique plant mixes. In contrast, regions with frequent tree line changes had simpler, more uniform plant communities,’ Wang said. ‘Think of environmental changes as a filter—only the toughest species survive repeated shifts, making plant groups look similar.’(王涛说：‘随着时间的推移，环境稳定的地区形成了更独特的植物组合。相比之下，林线变化频繁的地区植物群落更简单、更单一。把环境变化想象成一个过滤器-----只有最顽强的物种才能在反复的变化中生存下来，这使得植物群体看起来很相似。’)”可知，环境变化就像一个过滤器，只有适应能力强的物种才能在不断变化的环境中生存下来，这体现了“适者生存”的原则。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Chinese scientists have discovered what determined the distribution of unique high-altitude plants across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, thereby answering a major global scientific question.(中国科学家发现了决定青藏高原独特高海拔植物分布的因素，从而回答了一个重大的全球科学问题。)”以及后文围绕该研究展开，介绍了影响高原植物多样性的因素包括林线变化、气候波动等，还提到了研究结果对保护高原独特植物的意义。所以B选项New Light Thrown on Diversity of Plateau’s Plants(对高原植物多样性的新认识)准确地概括了文章主要内容。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。 Many people aren’t consciously aware of themselves or how they come across to other people. ___16___.

They decided to throw a horse-themed party because Madison liked horses so much. She had a horse named Star and she loved to talk about it at school. “I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert!” Madison said abruptly. “We already discussed this. You are inviting all the girls from your class.” “But I don’t like Lucy Gilbert!” “Madison, you are being unreasonable. How would you feel if every girl in your class was invited to a party but you?” Dad tried to talk some sense into her. “Come on, Madison. Lucy is a new girl in class. They just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone.” Madison felt annoyed at her father’s insistence on inviting Lucy. She thought about Lucy always sitting in the corner all by herself, not talking to anyone and braiding (编织) something. Saturday morning, Madison and her parents were blowing up balloons and getting everything ready for the party. A few hours later, most of the girls were at the party, but she didn’t see Lucy. How she wished that Lucy wasn’t coming! She was afraid she’s going to ruin everything. Just at that moment, Lucy arrived in a faded dress. Dad gave Madison a gentle push on the back and asked her to give Lucy a warm welcome. Madison did as told unwillingly and turned back to other girls in a few seconds. Lucy placed her present on the table. She looked around the room for a moment and then walked to a chair in the corner and sat down by herself. “See! I told you!” Madison said to her dad with a satisfied smile. Later, all the girls were gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Madison picked up the present and ripped open the giftwrap paper. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Lucy’s efforts at the present, Madison suddenly felt so bad. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Madison picked up the present and ripped open the giftwrap paper. Inside lay a hand-braided blue-and-white lead rope. It really was beautiful. It was, by far, her very favorite birthday present of the day. “I made it myself for your horse because I heard you talk about it at school. Hope you will like it,” Lucy explained softly, her fingers nervously tracing the braids. Her voice trembled as she revealed she’d stayed up past midnight for three weeks, practicing different braiding techniques until every loop met her standards. It occurred to Madison that this quiet girl had poured more heart into her present than all others combined. Moved by Lucy’s efforts at the present, Madison suddenly felt so bad. She didn’t imagine the girl she hated would put so much thought in making her a wonderful present. She thanked Lucy sincerely and apologized for her earlier rudeness. “I’m sorry, Lucy. I like the present very much. It’s the prettiest one I’ve ever seen.” Lucy smiled. Madison put her arm around Lucy’s shoulders and introduced her to the other girls, who happily shared the birthday cake together. Later, Lucy taught the girls her braiding tricks, her chair no longer lonely. When Dad snapped a photo of them feeding Star apples, Madison realized kindness, like Lucy’s threads, could weave unexpected friendships. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了女孩Madison要在家里举办生日会，她的爸爸让她邀请班里所有的女孩，但Madison不想邀请新来的女孩Lucy，她认为Lucy不合群，只会坐在角落里编织东西。但后来，在得到Lucy的礼物后，Madison深受感动，转变了看法。最终大家一起度过了一个愉快的生日会。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Madison拿起礼物，撕开礼品包装纸。”可知，第一段描写Lucy送的礼物，Lucy对这个礼物的解释，以及Madison突然意识到Lucy很用心地为她准备了礼物。 ②由第二段首句内容“被Lucy当前的努力所感动，Madison突然感到很难过。”可知，第二段描写Madison对Lucy表示感谢和歉意，并向其他人介绍Lucy，大家度过了一个愉快的生日会。 2.续写线索：看到礼物——解释礼物——心境变化——深受感动——表达感谢和歉意——一起过生日 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②练习编织技巧：practice braiding techniques/practice braiding tricks ③想起：It occurs to sb that/remind sb of/think of/cross one's mind 情绪类 ①道歉：say sorry/apologize/make an apology ②感动：moved/touched ③感谢：thank sb sincerely/express one's gratitude/be grateful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her voice trembled as she revealed she’d stayed up past midnight for three weeks, practicing different braiding techniques until every loop met her standards.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，非谓语动词作状语以及until引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】It occurred to Madison that this quiet girl had poured more heart into her present than all others combined.（运用了固定句型It occurs/occurred to sb that...） 【高分句型3】Madison put her arm around Lucy’s shoulders and introduced her to the other girls, who happily shared the birthday cake together. （运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
