When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders. At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling. In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status. Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.” 4. What led Kadur into nature? A. Fever for big cats. B. Love for adventure. C. Curiosity about filming. D. Fascination with Jim’s tales. 5. What was his father’s influence on him? A. Teaching him photography skills. B. Introducing him to documentary work. C. Helping him regain love for storytelling. D. Arousing his curiosity about scientific details. 6. What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling? A. It well entertains audiences. B. It serves as a bridge for nature. C. Its value lies in expression skills. D. Its impact depends on technology. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Kadur? A. Passionate and dedicated. B. Talented and ambitious. C. Independent and committed. D. Responsible and generous. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了《国家地理》探险家Sandesh Kadur用25年时间记录珍稀野生动物，将童年的热爱转化为保护地球脆弱生态系统的使命的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders.(小时候，Kadur就被吉姆·科贝特关于大型猫科动物的故事所吸引。受此启发，他曾和一位朋友骑自行车进入丛林，在水潭边观察大型猫科动物。晚上，他们真的看到了一只大猫。沐浴在月光下，他意识到自己的人生目标：捕捉并分享大自然的奇观)”可知，是吉姆的故事让Kadur投身于大自然。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist (昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at.(12岁时，他借用了父亲的相机——一个能定格时间的“魔盒”。他的父亲是一位昆虫学家，让他开始关注小事物。于是，他开始有意识地将镜头对准小昆虫，试图理解他所看到的东西)”可知，Kadur的父亲是昆虫学家，父亲让Kadur开始关注小事物，这激发了他对科学细节的好奇心。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants.(通过视觉讲故事，Kadur让观众一窥鲜为人知的自然世界，敦促他们保护其中脆弱的生物)”可知，Kadur认为视觉讲故事是大自然与人类之间的桥梁。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic Explorer, has spent 25 years documenting rare wildlife, transforming his childhood passion into a mission to protect Earth’s fragile ecosystems.(《国家地理》探险家Sandesh Kadur用25年时间记录珍稀野生动物，将童年的热爱转化为保护地球脆弱生态系统的使命)”和第四段中“Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the ‘smoke cat’ for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status.(当时19岁且没有接受过电影方面专业训练的卡杜尔独自推进了这个项目。他花了三年时间拍摄印度的西高止山脉，首次捕捉到了像“云猫”这样的物种。他的首部电影《西高止山：季风之山》让人们关注到了西高止山脉的生物多样性，助力其在2012年获得了联合国教科文组织世界遗产的地位)”可知，Kadur是一个充满热情和专注的人。故选A。 C Even if you’ re not a fan of hummus, or olives, it’s worth giving the Mediterranean diet a chance. In 2025, U. S. News and World Report ranked it Number 1 overall, as well as giving it first place as the best diet for mental health, for healthy eating, for inflammation(炎症), for gut health and for being the easiest diet to follow. The Mediterranean diet dates back to the 1950s when Ancel Keys, a physiologist from Minnesota, came up with the idea for the Seven Countries Study, which revealed its protective effects against cardiovascular diseases. This discovery transformed a regional tradition into a global health symbol. The Mediterranean diet places plant-based foods at the foundation. The core foods include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, and healthy fats such as olive oil. Moderate amounts of lean proteins are encouraged, as are eggs, dairy products and wine. By contrast, red meats and sweets are meant to be consumed less often. This pattern creates a natural defense against many diseases. The Mediterranean diet also embodies a philosophy of mindful living. It depends on shared meals, seasonal celebrations, and handmade food. In Greece, family gatherings center on grilled octopus and ouzo; in Spain, tapas culture helps to cultivate social connections; and in Italy, slow food movements champion local biodiversity. These practices stress the diet’s role in fostering community resilience (适应力) and cultural identity. Although celebrated globally, the Mediterranean diet faces threats from urbanization, processed food consumption, and economic gaps. However, scientists have put forward solutions. They emphasize its sustainability: reliance on local, seasonal ingredients matches eco-friendly practices, while traditional farming models regenerative agriculture. Today, the Mediterranean diet is integrated into public health policies worldwide, serving as a “non-drug prescription” for disease prevention. The Mediterranean diet goes beyond borders, inviting individuals to accept a way of life that honors nature, tradition, and health. It acts as a culinary bridge — connecting past and present, culture and science, and people to the planet. It reminds us the healthiest eating grows from respecting nature, tradition, and community. 8. What can we know about the Mediterranean diet? A. It ranks top for its various flavors. B. It consists of unusual ingredients. C. It has taken the world by storm recently. D. It is recognized for its health-protective effects. 9. What does the underlined phrase “a philosophy of mindful living” in paragraph 4 mean? A. A focus on lifestyle integration. B. A concept on social interactions. C. A lifestyle with conscious practices. D. Patterns of fast-paced modern life. 10. Why is the Mediterranean diet considered sustainable? A. It can get rid of processed foods. B. It is in line with global health policies. C. It combines tradition and sustainability. D. It relies on locally sourced seasonal foods. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain the development of the diet. B. To confirm scientific studies on the diet. C. To promote the diet as a sustainable lifestyle. D. To introduce the health benefits of the diet. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地中海饮食，强调了其健康益处、可持续性以及它所代表的生活方式哲学。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2025, U. S. News and World Report ranked it Number 1 overall, as well as giving it first place as the best diet for mental health, for healthy eating, for inflammation, for gut health and for being the easiest diet to follow.(2025年，《美国新闻与世界报道》将其评为整体排名第一，同时将其评为心理健康、健康饮食、抗炎、肠道健康以及最容易遵循的饮食方式的第一名。)”可知，地中海饮食因其健康保护作用而得到认可。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“It depends on shared meals, seasonal celebrations, and handmade food. In Greece, family gatherings center on grilled octopus and ouzo; in Spain, tapas culture helps to cultivate social connections; and in Italy, slow food movements champion local biodiversity. These practices stress the diet’s role in fostering community resilience (适应力) and cultural identity.(它依赖于共享餐食、季节性庆祝活动以及手工制作的食物。在希腊，家庭聚会以烤章鱼和茴香酒为中心；在西班牙，小吃文化有助于培养社交关系；在意大利，慢食运动倡导保护当地的生物多样性。这些饮食习惯强调了饮食在增强社区适应能力和塑造文化身份方面所起的作用。)”可知，地中海饮食也体现了一种带有自觉实践的生活方式。由此可知，划线的短语“a philosophy of mindful living”的意思是“一种带有自觉实践的生活方式”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They emphasize its sustainability: reliance on local, seasonal ingredients matches eco-friendly practices, while traditional farming models regenerative agriculture.(他们强调其可持续性：依赖当地、时令食材符合环保做法，而传统农业模式则支持再生农业。)”可知，地中海饮食被认为是可持续的，是因为它依赖于当地采购的时令食品。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Mediterranean diet goes beyond borders, inviting individuals to accept a way of life that honors nature, tradition, and health. It acts as a culinary bridge — connecting past and present, culture and science, and people to the planet. It reminds us the healthiest eating grows from respecting nature, tradition, and community.(地中海饮食超越了国界，邀请个人接受一种尊重自然、传统和健康的生活方式。它就像一座烹饪的桥梁——连接着过去和现在、文化和科学，以及人与地球。它提醒我们，最健康的饮食方式源于对自然、传统和社区的尊重。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是将这种饮食作为一种可持续的生活方式来推广。故选C。 D A recent study published in the British Journal of Social Psychology suggests that people seen as kind and helpful are also perceived (感知) as more physically attractive. This effect highlights how kind actions may shape perceptions of physical beauty. In her new research, Natalia Kononov, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, concentrated on prosocial behavior — acts of kindness, cooperation, and helpfulness — and sought to understand whether this quality has a unique effect on perceptions of physical beauty. The research involved ten studies with over 4,000 participants. The team designed various contexts, where participants were asked to observe real-life prosocial acts, read descriptions of kind actions, or imagine helpful behavior. Participants were shown images of people alongside descriptions of either prosocial or neutral behaviors, and then rated their physical attractiveness on a standardized scale. Some studies removed images to test if the effects behavior extend beyond appearance. The researchers discovered a consistent link between prosocial actions and higher ratings of physical attractiveness. Participants described as performing prosocial acts were rated more attractive than those without. “An interesting aspect of our findings is that kindness and generosity made both men and women appear more attractive. This gender-universal appeal highlights just how broadly kindness can shape perceptions of beauty,” Kononov said. The effect appeared strongest when kindness was part of the person’s usual behavior, rather than a one-off act. Plus, prosocial influence on attractiveness ratings was stronger than that of other positive traits (品质), like humor or intelligence. This suggests that kindness and helpfulness play a unique role in shaping physical perceptions beyond a general “halo effect”, where positive qualities broadly enhance other evaluations. Despite these findings, some limitations exist. “One limitation is that our study centered largely on participants’ initial perceptions rather than on how these impressions may evolve over time.” Kononov said, “Additionally, the sample was primarily from United States-based participants, which may limit how the findings apply to other cultural contexts. So further research would be valuable to understand how these dynamics might shift in diverse settings.” 12. What does Natalia Kononov’s study focus on? A. How kindness influences beauty evaluation. B. How physical beauty determines perceptions. C. Whether prosocial behavior shapes attractiveness. D. Whether helpfulness improves social behavior. 13. How was the study carried out? A. By analyzing prosocial behavior. B. By comparing attractiveness ratings. C. By evaluating imagination abilities. D. By reading the image descriptions. 14. What can we learn from the findings of the research? A. Constant kindness boosts physical appeal. B. Physical appearance dominates behavior. C. Gender affects attractiveness evaluations. D. All positive qualities enhance attractiveness. 15. What can be inferred from Kononov? A. Changeable contexts are necessary. B. Long-term dynamics remain unclear. C. Cultural diversity was prioritized in sampling. D. Initial impressions are irrelevant to relationship. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了宾夕法尼亚大学博士后研究员Natalia Kononov的研究，该研究发现被视为善良和乐于助人的人也被认为更具身体吸引力，并探讨了亲社会行为对身体吸引力感知的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In her new research, Natalia Kononov, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, concentrated on prosocial behavior — acts of kindness, cooperation, and helpfulness — and sought to understand whether this quality has a unique effect on perceptions of physical beauty.(宾夕法尼亚大学博士后研究员Natalia Kononov的新研究关注的是亲社会行为——善良、合作和乐于助人的行为——并试图了解这种品质是否对身体美感的感知有独特的影响)”可知，Natalia Kononov的研究重点是亲社会行为是否塑造吸引力。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants were shown images of people alongside descriptions of either prosocial or neutral behaviors, and then rated their physical attractiveness on a standardized scale.(参与者被展示了人们的图像，旁边是亲社会行为或中性行为的描述，然后他们按照标准化量表对他们的身体吸引力进行评分)”可知，这项研究是通过比较吸引力评分来进行的。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The effect appeared strongest when kindness was part of the person’s usual behavior, rather than a one-off act.(当善良成为一个人通常行为的一部分，而不是一次性的行为时，这种影响最为强烈)”可知，持续的善良会提升身体吸引力。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One limitation is that our study centered largely on participants’ initial perceptions rather than on how these impressions may evolve over time.(我们的研究主要关注的是参与者的初步印象，而不是这些印象如何随时间演变，这是一个局限性)”可推知，Kononov认为研究主要集中在参与者的初始感知上，对于这些印象随时间如何演变还不清楚。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。 I used to always boast my busyness as some big achievements. Deadlines at school, social commitments, my own personal projects — they all equaled to being “productive.” Yet, a burnout weekend with achieving nothing, came the wake-up call: I wasn’t living any more, only surviving. ___16___ Its essence lies in presence, intention, and appreciation for the small things. And I believe we could all use a little more of it in our fast-paced world. Slow living is not doing less out of laziness. ___17___ It’s taking back our time and attention from the non-stop hurry of contemporary life, emphasizing quality over quantity gives life depth. Consider food: instead of rushing through them, we savor each bite, appreciating the effort behind food. ___18___ This isn’t wrong since not everybody can cut working hours or work extra holiday hours. But slow living isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about small, intentional choices. Put your phone away during dinner. Dedicate 10 minutes daily to journaling instead of scrolling social media. These habits fit even the busiest schedules. I’ve done it myself. I decreased my activities significantly this year, and I learned to say no to commitments that were not on my top list. I prepared more meals at home, enjoying the process as much as the product. And I devoted more time to staying outside. ___19___ Slow living offers advantages to human beings and natural environment alike. The highspeed life we are living today is often unsustainable. ___20___ If we adopt slow living, then we can change the world and create a better and cleaner world. In a word, slow living is revolutionary. It reminds us life isn’t about checking boxes but experiencing moments. As I’ve learned, true productivity lies not in busyness, but in living intentionally. A. It is doing what matters most. B. This sparked my embrace of slow living. C. The key to it is centering on essential tasks. D. Slow living is often misunderstood as inefficiency. E. These shifts reduced anxiety and enhanced energy. F. However, some critics consider slow living a luxury. G. The world needs 1.75 Earths to meet our consumption. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经以忙碌为荣，但经历了一个疲惫不堪且一事无成的周末后，开始反思并转向慢生活，强调生活的本质在于存在、专注和对小事的欣赏，而非仅仅追求效率。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Yet, a burnout weekend with achieving nothing, came the wake-up call: I wasn’t living any more, only surviving.(然而，在一个疲惫不堪且一事无成的周末之后，我得到了一个警醒：我不再是真正地生活，而只是在生存)”和下文“Its essence lies in presence, intention, and appreciation for the small things.(它的本质在于存在、专注和对小事的欣赏)”可知，空处描述作者在意识到自己只是在生存而非生活之后，开始转向慢生活，选项B“This sparked my embrace of slow living.(这激发了我对慢生活的拥抱)”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Slow living is not doing less out of laziness.(慢生活并不是因为懒惰而少做事)”可知，空处描述的是慢生活的真正含义，选项A“It is doing what matters most.(它是做最重要的事)”符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据下文“This isn’t wrong since not everybody can cut working hours or work extra holiday hours.(这并没有错，因为不是每个人都能减少工作时间或增加假期工作时间)”可推测出，空处描述的是人们对慢生活的误解，选项F“However, some critics consider slow living a luxury.(然而，一些批评者认为慢生活是一种奢侈)”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“And I devoted more time to staying outside.(我投入了更多的时间待在外面)“可知，上文主要描述了作者在践行慢生活后所做的一些改变，空处应该描述这些改变所带来的影响，选项E“These shifts reduced anxiety and enhanced energy.(这些改变减轻了焦虑，提高了活力)”符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The high-speed life we are living today is often unsustainable.(我们今天所过的高速生活往往是不可持续的)”和下文“If we adopt slow living, then we can change the world and create a better and cleaner world.(如果我们采用慢生活，那么我们就可以改变世界，创造一个更好、更清洁的世界)”可知，空处描述的是高速生活对环境造成的压力，选项G“The world needs 1.75 Earths to meet our consumption.(世界需要1.75个地球来满足我们的消费)”符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节；满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Edendale Branch Library on Sunset Boulevard is open to the public six days a week and hosts various events for all ages.

Mia was crazy about classical music while Ben regarded hip-hop as his favourite. In spite of their different tastes, their mutual adoration for music gradually built a strong bond that brought them together. After school, they usually practiced music in Ben’s garage, where Mia played music on her cello (大提琴) and Ben beat out rhythms on his laptop. One day, their school made an announcement about a music competition. The winner would have an opportunity to perform at the city’s renowned music festival. Hearing the news, Mia and Ben were over the moon. Without hesitation, they decided to form a team. However, when it’s time to choose a performance style, a fierce conflict of ideas erupted. Mia firmly believed a Mozart piece would be the perfect choice to display their combined talents. “The melody and emotion of classical music will surely amaze the judges and the audience,” she exclaimed. However, Ben was convinced hip-hop would be far more fascinating. “Hip-hop is what the young loves. It’s full of life and can really get the crowd going,” he argued. Quickly the argument was out of control. Mia was boiled with anger as Ben seemed to brush aside everything she held dear. “How can he be so dismissive?” She murmured to herself, full of frustration. Ben started to have second thoughts under Mia’ s sharp criticism, but his deep-rooted love for hip-hop refused to give way. “I don’t want to lose our friendship, but why can’t she understand my passion?” he thought. In the days that followed, neither of them was ready to back down. Their close friendship was on the edge of breaking apart. One evening, when Mia came to the garage, coincidentally, Ben was also there. They still didn’t talk to each other. The atmosphere became so tense that it was almost suffocating (窒息的). 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。 When Mia turned away, Ben broke the silence. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the competition arrived. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When Mia turned away, Ben broke the silence. “Wait!” his voice cracked, “What if we mix them?” Mia paused, her hand frozen on the garage door handle. Ben hurriedly tapped his laptop keyboard, blending Mozart’s delicate melody with lively electronic beats. The garage erupted with a sound like moonlight dancing through city streets. Mia turned around, eyes widening. Without a word, she picked up her cello and began improvising. Their eyes met across the garage, instruments singing a language beyond styles. In the following days, they composed together and crafted a symphony where classical precision met hip-hop’s raw energy. Finally, the day of the competition arrived. The auditorium buzzed with whispers when it was their turn. On the stage, Ben’s fingers flew across his laptop keyboard while Mia’s bow danced, transforming Mozart’s melodies into something entirely new. The audience clapped along, and even the judges tapped their feet. As the last note faded, cheers filled the hall. When announced as winners, they hugged together, tears in their eyes. Holding the trophy, Ben said, “Classical music and hip-hop work perfectly!” Mia nodded, “So do we.” True connection lies not in identical interests, but in mutual respect for each other’s passions. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mia和Ben在Westwood高中校乐队时成为朋友，尽管他们音乐品味不同，但对音乐的热爱让他们关系紧密。学校宣布音乐比赛，获胜者可在城市著名音乐节表演，他们决定组队参赛。然而在选择表演风格时，Mia坚持选择莫扎特的古典音乐作品，认为能展示他们的才华，而Ben坚信嘻哈音乐更迷人。两人由此产生激烈冲突，争论失控，友谊面临破裂。后来他们谁也不愿让步，有次在车库相遇也不交流，气氛紧张。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Mia转身要走时，Ben打破了沉默。”可知，第一段可描写Ben提议将二者结合在一起，并和Mia一起创作精心编排了一首交响曲。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，比赛的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写Ben和Mia比赛时的表演获得了观众和评委的认可以及经过这件事的感悟。 2.续写线索：提议将二者结合——一起创作——进行编排交响曲——比赛经过——获得认可——感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓掌：clap/applaud ②宣布：announce/declare ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①匆忙地：hurriedly/in a hurry ②欢呼声：cheers/shouts of joy 【点睛】[高分句型1]In the following days, they composed together and crafted a symphony where classical precision met hip-hop’s raw energy.（运用了where引导定语从句） [高分句型2]When announced as winners, they hugged together, tears in their eyes.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 机密★启用前 试卷类型A 山东名校考试联盟 2024-2025学年高二年级下学期期中检测 英语试题 2025.04 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

B Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic Explorer, has spent 25 years documenting rare wildlife, transforming his childhood passion into a mission to protect Earth’s fragile ecosystems. When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders. At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling. In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status. Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.” 4. What led Kadur into nature? A. Fever for big cats. B. Love for adventure. C. Curiosity about filming. D. Fascination with Jim’s tales. 5. What was his father’s influence on him? A. Teaching him photography skills. B. Introducing him to documentary work. C. Helping him regain love for storytelling. D. Arousing his curiosity about scientific details. 6. What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling? A. It well entertains audiences. B. It serves as a bridge for nature. C. Its value lies in expression skills. D. Its impact depends on technology. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Kadur? A. Passionate and dedicated. B. Talented and ambitious. C. Independent and committed. D. Responsible and generous. C Even if you’ re not a fan of hummus, or olives, it’s worth giving the Mediterranean diet a chance. In 2025, U. S. News and World Report ranked it Number 1 overall, as well as giving it first place as the best diet for mental health, for healthy eating, for inflammation(炎症), for gut health and for being the easiest diet to follow. The Mediterranean diet dates back to the 1950s when Ancel Keys, a physiologist from Minnesota, came up with the idea for the Seven Countries Study, which revealed its protective effects against cardiovascular diseases. This discovery transformed a regional tradition into a global health symbol. The Mediterranean diet places plant-based foods at the foundation. The core foods include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, and healthy fats such as olive oil. Moderate amounts of lean proteins are encouraged, as are eggs, dairy products and wine. By contrast, red meats and sweets are meant to be consumed less often. This pattern creates a natural defense against many diseases. The Mediterranean diet also embodies a philosophy of mindful living. It depends on shared meals, seasonal celebrations, and handmade food. In Greece, family gatherings center on grilled octopus and ouzo; in Spain, tapas culture helps to cultivate social connections; and in Italy, slow food movements champion local biodiversity. These practices stress the diet’s role in fostering community resilience (适应力) and cultural identity. Although celebrated globally, the Mediterranean diet faces threats from urbanization, processed food consumption, and economic gaps. However, scientists have put forward solutions. They emphasize its sustainability: reliance on local, seasonal ingredients matches eco-friendly practices, while traditional farming models regenerative agriculture. Today, the Mediterranean diet is integrated into public health policies worldwide, serving as a “non-drug prescription” for disease prevention. The Mediterranean diet goes beyond borders, inviting individuals to accept a way of life that honors nature, tradition, and health. It acts as a culinary bridge — connecting past and present, culture and science, and people to the planet. It reminds us the healthiest eating grows from respecting nature, tradition, and community. 8. What can we know about the Mediterranean diet? A. It ranks top for its various flavors. B. It consists of unusual ingredients. C. It has taken the world by storm recently. D. It is recognized for its health-protective effects. 9. What does the underlined phrase “a philosophy of mindful living” in paragraph 4 mean? A. A focus on lifestyle integration. B. A concept on social interactions. C. A lifestyle with conscious practices. D. Patterns of fast-paced modern life. 10. Why is the Mediterranean diet considered sustainable? A. It can get rid of processed foods. B. It is in line with global health policies. C. It combines tradition and sustainability. D. It relies on locally sourced seasonal foods. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain the development of the diet. B. To confirm scientific studies on the diet. C. To promote the diet as a sustainable lifestyle. D. To introduce the health benefits of the diet. D A recent study published in the British Journal of Social Psychology suggests that people seen as kind and helpful are also perceived (感知) as more physically attractive. This effect highlights how kind actions may shape perceptions of physical beauty. In her new research, Natalia Kononov, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, concentrated on prosocial behavior — acts of kindness, cooperation, and helpfulness — and sought to understand whether this quality has a unique effect on perceptions of physical beauty. The research involved ten studies with over 4,000 participants. The team designed various contexts, where participants were asked to observe real-life prosocial acts, read descriptions of kind actions, or imagine helpful behavior. Participants were shown images of people alongside descriptions of either prosocial or neutral behaviors, and then rated their physical attractiveness on a standardized scale. Some studies removed images to test if the effects behavior extend beyond appearance. The researchers discovered a consistent link between prosocial actions and higher ratings of physical attractiveness. Participants described as performing prosocial acts were rated more attractive than those without. “An interesting aspect of our findings is that kindness and generosity made both men and women appear more attractive. This gender-universal appeal highlights just how broadly kindness can shape perceptions of beauty,” Kononov said. The effect appeared strongest when kindness was part of the person’s usual behavior, rather than a one-off act. Plus, prosocial influence on attractiveness ratings was stronger than that of other positive traits (品质), like humor or intelligence. This suggests that kindness and helpfulness play a unique role in shaping physical perceptions beyond a general “halo effect”, where positive qualities broadly enhance other evaluations. Despite these findings, some limitations exist. “One limitation is that our study centered largely on participants’ initial perceptions rather than on how these impressions may evolve over time.” Kononov said, “Additionally, the sample was primarily from United States-based participants, which may limit how the findings apply to other cultural contexts. So further research would be valuable to understand how these dynamics might shift in diverse settings.” 12. What does Natalia Kononov’s study focus on? A. How kindness influences beauty evaluation. B. How physical beauty determines perceptions. C. Whether prosocial behavior shapes attractiveness. D. Whether helpfulness improves social behavior. 13. How was the study carried out? A. By analyzing prosocial behavior. B. By comparing attractiveness ratings. C. By evaluating imagination abilities. D. By reading the image descriptions. 14. What can we learn from the findings of the research? A. Constant kindness boosts physical appeal. B. Physical appearance dominates behavior. C. Gender affects attractiveness evaluations. D. All positive qualities enhance attractiveness. 15. What can be inferred from Kononov? A. Changeable contexts are necessary. B. Long-term dynamics remain unclear. C. Cultural diversity was prioritized in sampling. D. Initial impressions are irrelevant to relationship. 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。 I used to always boast my busyness as some big achievements. Deadlines at school, social commitments, my own personal projects — they all equaled to being “productive.” Yet, a burnout weekend with achieving nothing, came the wake-up call: I wasn’t living any more, only surviving. ___16___ Its essence lies in presence, intention, and appreciation for the small things. And I believe we could all use a little more of it in our fast-paced world. Slow living is not doing less out of laziness. ___17___ It’s taking back our time and attention from the non-stop hurry of contemporary life, emphasizing quality over quantity gives life depth. Consider food: instead of rushing through them, we savor each bite, appreciating the effort behind food. ___18___ This isn’t wrong since not everybody can cut working hours or work extra holiday hours. But slow living isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about small, intentional choices. Put your phone away during dinner. Dedicate 10 minutes daily to journaling instead of scrolling social media. These habits fit even the busiest schedules. I’ve done it myself. I decreased my activities significantly this year, and I learned to say no to commitments that were not on my top list. I prepared more meals at home, enjoying the process as much as the product. And I devoted more time to staying outside. ___19___ Slow living offers advantages to human beings and natural environment alike. The highspeed life we are living today is often unsustainable. ___20___ If we adopt slow living, then we can change the world and create a better and cleaner world.

A. It is doing what matters most. B. This sparked my embrace of slow living. C. The key to it is centering on essential tasks. D. Slow living is often misunderstood as inefficiency. E. These shifts reduced anxiety and enhanced energy. F. However, some critics consider slow living a luxury. G.

Mia was crazy about classical music while Ben regarded hip-hop as his favourite. In spite of their different tastes, their mutual adoration for music gradually built a strong bond that brought them together. After school, they usually practiced music in Ben’s garage, where Mia played music on her cello (大提琴) and Ben beat out rhythms on his laptop. One day, their school made an announcement about a music competition. The winner would have an opportunity to perform at the city’s renowned music festival. Hearing the news, Mia and Ben were over the moon. Without hesitation, they decided to form a team. However, when it’s time to choose a performance style, a fierce conflict of ideas erupted. Mia firmly believed a Mozart piece would be the perfect choice to display their combined talents. “The melody and emotion of classical music will surely amaze the judges and the audience,” she exclaimed. However, Ben was convinced hip-hop would be far more fascinating. “Hip-hop is what the young loves. It’s full of life and can really get the crowd going,” he argued. Quickly the argument was out of control. Mia was boiled with anger as Ben seemed to brush aside everything she held dear. “How can he be so dismissive?” She murmured to herself, full of frustration. Ben started to have second thoughts under Mia’ s sharp criticism, but his deep-rooted love for hip-hop refused to give way. “I don’t want to lose our friendship, but why can’t she understand my passion?” he thought. In the days that followed, neither of them was ready to back down. Their close friendship was on the edge of breaking apart. One evening, when Mia came to the garage, coincidentally, Ben was also there. They still didn’t talk to each other. The atmosphere became so tense that it was almost suffocating (窒息的). 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。 When Mia turned away, Ben broke the silence. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the competition arrived. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
