Suddenly, his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore, sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John, pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall over?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore. The boat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied. 4. What was Gelinne’s first reaction to the air crash? A. Hesitant. B. Concerned. C. Scared. D. Surprised. 5. What can be learned from paragraph 4? A. The plane had sunk to the bottom. B. The pilot was nearly frozen to death. C. The kayaks got stuck in floating ice. D. The rescue was tougher than expected. 6. Why did Gelinne need help? A. Because his son didn’t help him. B. Because the kayaks were broken. C. Because the ice wasn’t solid enough. D. Because the pilot was too exhausted. 7. Which of the following can best describe Gelinne? A. Honest and independent. B. Modest and intelligent. C. Helpful and humorous. D. Generous and cautious. C Genres (体裁) are often viewed as structural frameworks for literary texts, onto which elements like imagery, character, plot, and setting are layered. These frameworks are passed down through generations, evolving (演变) over time. Among all genres, the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century, often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world. Yet, in the nineteenth century, it was primarily seen as a form of middle-class entertainment. It was not until the twentieth century that the novel was lifted to the status of an art form, joining in the same league as painting or classical music. Later on, many scholars successively studied the characteristics of novels from the 18th and 19th centuries. Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fiction, he raises an appealing question: is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor — or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century was a period of violent change; therefore, violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects — not, or not only, in its subject matter but in its form. Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies. However, that relevance seems to have waned. Today, the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation. People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading? ” to “What are you streaming? ” Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century. Has prestige television reshaped the role of the novel? Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James, for example, would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version — each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for. 8. Why did the novel gain recognition in the twentieth century? A. It mirrored its link with reality. B. It was written in amusing forms. C. It displayed attractive characters. D. It was authored by the middle-class. 9. Which aspect of the twentieth-century novel does Stranger Than Fiction focus on? A. Its rises and falls. B. Its expansion and effect. C. Its significance and limitation. D. Its evolution and uniqueness. 10. What does the underlined word “waned” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Varied. B. Weakened. C. Peaked. D. Remained. 11. What does the example of The Portrait of a Lady indicate? A. Novels lose their artistic appeal. B. Adaptation decreases novels’ status. C Media breathe new life into novels. D. TV shows change the role of novels. D We take our speech abilities for granted. Most people do not stop to think of how other animals and insects communicate with each other. Ants are amazing creatures that have a tireless work pattern and complex social structure. To achieve this, they must have some ways of communicating with each other. Obviously, ants do not speak as we do, so how do they communicate? Ants communicate by releasing pheromones (信息素) that function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other. The best example that we can see very clearly is that ants find food sources and drop pheromones on their ways. By using their antennae to detect pheromone trails and following a sweeping pattern, they encounter a trail. Once the pheromone trail is found, they follow it with one antenna on either side of the path, ensuring they keep on track. This allows other ants to follow the pheromones. The result of these pheromone paths is long lines of ants, marching one behind each other to collect food. The queen ant uses pheromones to signal. As the queen ages, she gives off pheromones that tell the ant colony that she is dying. They begin feeding and preparing a pupa (蛹) to be the new queen. When ants greet each other with their antennae, they can tell if they are friends or foes and what function each ant fulfills in the nest. Scientists know that this is possible, but they are still trying to identify which pheromones share this information. Ants also give off pheromones that identify the nest they belong to, their social status, and their maturity. The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form collective memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators. 12. How could ants communicate according to the text? A. By attracting companions via sounds. B. By sending alarm signals to the queen. C. By identifying pheromones with antennae. D. By keeping on the same track. 13. What is the function of the pheromone trail? A. To spot enemies in the ant colony. B. To help companions find food sources. C. To keep the orders of the ant community. D. To enable ants to communicate with humans. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Ants have no collective memories. B. Ants’ alarm-sounding ability is unique. C. Researchers have identified the types of pheromones. D. More secrets on ants’ communication remain unknown. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Insight into Ants’ Communication. B. The Secret of Touching Antennae. C. The Research on Ants’ Memories. D. The Amazing World of Ants. 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。 Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life.

Despite the city’s promise of opportunities, he struggled with a low-paying job and high expenses. Every month felt like a battle to make ends meet. He missed the warmth of Mr. Thompson’s old house, where every tenant (租户) felt like family and Mr. Thompson treated each tenant with constant kindness. One cool autumn day, as Jack sorted through his mail, mostly consisting of bills and advertisements, a plain white envelope caught his eye. The return address belonged to Mr. Thompson. Heart pounding with curiosity, Jack tore it open. Inside, a check for $2,500 and a handwritten note fell into his hands. “Dear Jack, I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve recently sold the old house, and it felt only right to share a portion of the proceeds with those who made it a home. Over the years, watching young people like you grow and pursue their dreams has been my greatest reward. Your presence brought joy and warmth to our community. I wish you all the best. Warm regards, Thompson” Jack’s eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. This unexpected windfall was more than just money-it was a lifeline, a ray of hope in his struggles. The gesture reminded him of all the times Mr. Thompson had shown similar kindness to his tenants, from helping with repairs to offering wise advice during difficult times. The check trembled in Jack’s hand. It could fix everything, he thought-the unpaid rent, the empty fridge, and the endless fear. But his chest tightened. Memories of his father’s lectures echoed: “Never depend on others. Stand on your own.” Jack had promised to prove himself in the city, yet here he was, drowning. Mr. Thompson’s words warmed him, but doubt crept in. Was it a charity case? He needed answers-not from the money, but from the man who sent it. Jack paced, the check glaring from the table. He imagined Mr. Thompson’s kind eyes. This isn’t pity, Jack reasoned. It’s... thanks. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 智学大联考·皖中名校联盟 合肥八中 2024-2025学年第二学期高二年级期中检测 英语试题卷 注意事项: 1.你拿到的试卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2.试卷包括“试题卷”和“答题卷”两部分，请务必在“答题卷”上答题，在“试题卷”上答题无效。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

(16岁的阿扎德在适应新学校、为友谊而挣扎、面对家庭问题的同时，也在小提琴演奏中寻求安慰。)”和The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares中的“It is a delightful read that shows independence, the true meaning of friendship and the challenges of growing up. (这是一本令人愉快的读物，它展示了独立、友谊的真谛和成长的挑战。)”可知，二者共同聚焦的是成长与友谊。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章介绍了几本不同的书，并对书的内容亮点进行了阐述，目的很可能是给寻求鼓舞人心读物推荐的读者提供参考，而不是针对痴迷冒险小说的、对青少年相关书籍感兴趣的或者计划文学主题环球旅行的读者。故选C。 B On Dec.26, Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home, gazing out at frozen Beards River. Suddenly, his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore, sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John, pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall over?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore. The boat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied. 4. What was Gelinne’s first reaction to the air crash? A. Hesitant. B. Concerned. C. Scared. D. Surprised. 5. What can be learned from paragraph 4? A. The plane had sunk to the bottom. B. The pilot was nearly frozen to death. C. The kayaks got stuck in floating ice. D. The rescue was tougher than expected. 6. Why did Gelinne need help? A. Because his son didn’t help him. B. Because the kayaks were broken. C. Because the ice wasn’t solid enough. D. Because the pilot was too exhausted. 7. Which of the following can best describe Gelinne? A. Honest and independent. B. Modest and intelligent. C. Helpful and humorous. D. Generous and cautious. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述一位60岁的老人Gelinne，在 12月26 日，冒着严寒，克服困难去救由于飞机失事而落入水中的飞行员Steve 的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑到水边，所以推知是担心的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. (皮划艇的桨太弱了，所以两人试着用棍子推动小船。他们的第一次尝试让他们在原地打转。但是经过努力，他们取得了进步。)”可知，救助过程非常比预想的要困难。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help.(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像拥抱你的妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”领航员抓住皮艇的船头。Gelinne知道他必须把飞行员弄到没有破冰的架子上。但每次杰琳尝试，皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助)”可知，因为冰不够坚固，导致皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。推理判断题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑到水边去救人，所以他是热于助人的，以及第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.”(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像拥抱你的妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”)”可推知Gelinne 是个幽默的人，所以Gelinne是乐于助人又幽默的。故选C项。 C Genres (体裁) are often viewed as structural frameworks for literary texts, onto which elements like imagery, character, plot, and setting are layered. These frameworks are passed down through generations, evolving (演变) over time. Among all genres, the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century, often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world. Yet, in the nineteenth century, it was primarily seen as a form of middle-class entertainment. It was not until the twentieth century that the novel was lifted to the status of an art form, joining in the same league as painting or classical music. Later on, many scholars successively studied the characteristics of novels from the 18th and 19th centuries. Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fiction, he raises an appealing question: is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor — or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century was a period of violent change; therefore, violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects — not, or not only, in its subject matter but in its form. Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies. However, that relevance seems to have waned. Today, the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation. People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading? ” to “What are you streaming? ” Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century. Has prestige television reshaped the role of the novel? Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James, for example, would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version — each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for. 8. Why did the novel gain recognition in the twentieth century? A. It mirrored its link with reality. B. It was written in amusing forms. C. It displayed attractive characters. D. It was authored by the middle-class. 9. Which aspect of the twentieth-century novel does Stranger Than Fiction focus on? A. Its rises and falls. B. Its expansion and effect. C. Its significance and limitation. D. Its evolution and uniqueness. 10. What does the underlined word “waned” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Varied. B. Weakened. C. Peaked. D. Remained. 11 What does the example of The Portrait of a Lady indicate? A. Novels lose their artistic appeal. B. Adaptation decreases novels’ status. C. Media breathe new life into novels. D. TV shows change the role of novels. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨小说体裁的发展，尤其是20世纪小说的地位变化。小说在20世纪因反映现实而备受关注，被视为 “体裁之王” 。如今小说在文化讨论中地位下降，而许多19世纪小说借改编重获生机 ，显示出媒体能赋予小说新生命。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Among all genres, the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century, often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world.(在所有的文学体裁中，小说在20世纪受到了最多的评论界关注，常常因其对现实世界的反映而被誉为“体裁之王”)”可知，小说在二十世纪获得了认可是因为它反映了与现实的联系。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fiction, he raises an appealing question: is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor — or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century was a period of violent change; therefore, violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects — not, or not only, in its subject matter but in its form. Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies.(最近，在埃德温・弗兰克的Stranger Than Fiction一书中，他提出了一个引人深思的问题：真的存在所谓的“20世纪小说”吗？将20世纪的小说与它之前的19世纪小说区分开来，甚至与21世纪的小说区分开来，这样做有意义吗？弗兰克认为是有意义的。在他的书中，他阐述了20世纪的小说是如何发展成熟，成为一种独特的文学体裁的。20世纪是一个发生剧烈变革的时期；因此，剧烈的变革正是20世纪小说所反映的内容——这种反映不仅（或者说不只是）体现在小说的主题上，还体现在其形式上。弗兰克指出，尽管20世纪的小说具有现代性，但它也显示出与社会发展的文化关联性)”可知，Stranger Than Fiction阐述了二十世纪小说如何发展成为一种独特的文学体裁，且它还反应了二十世纪的社会动荡，即与社会文化相关，这是社会背景造成的，是它的独特性，由此可推知，Stranger Than Fiction关注的是二十世纪小说的发展和其独特性。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies.(弗兰克指出，尽管20世纪的小说具有现代性，但它也显示出与社会发展的文化关联性)”和第四段中“Today, the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation.(今天，小说在文化对话中已不再占据中心地位)”可知，二十世纪的小说展现的是文化与社会发展的相关性，但是如今，小说与文化的关联已经不再占据中心地位，这说明，二者之间的关联性已经减弱，划线单词意为“减弱”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James, for example, would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version — each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for.(许多19世纪小说通过改编成电影在20世纪焕发出了生机。例如，亨利・詹姆斯若是知道《贵妇画像》已经被改编成了一部英国广播公司（BBC）的迷你剧、一部故事片，甚至还有一个电视版本，他很可能会感到高兴——每一个改编版本所触及的观众群体都远比原著印刷版所能期望的要庞大得多)”可推知，《贵妇画像》的例子表明媒体为小说注入了生命。故选C。 D We take our speech abilities for granted. Most people do not stop to think of how other animals and insects communicate with each other. Ants are amazing creatures that have a tireless work pattern and complex social structure. To achieve this, they must have some ways of communicating with each other. Obviously, ants do not speak as we do, so how do they communicate? Ants communicate by releasing pheromones (信息素) that function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other. The best example that we can see very clearly is that ants find food sources and drop pheromones on their ways. By using their antennae to detect pheromone trails and following a sweeping pattern, they encounter a trail. Once the pheromone trail is found, they follow it with one antenna on either side of the path, ensuring they keep on track. This allows other ants to follow the pheromones. The result of these pheromone paths is long lines of ants, marching one behind each other to collect food. The queen ant uses pheromones to signal. As the queen ages, she gives off pheromones that tell the ant colony that she is dying. They begin feeding and preparing a pupa (蛹) to be the new queen. When ants greet each other with their antennae, they can tell if they are friends or foes and what function each ant fulfills in the nest. Scientists know that this is possible, but they are still trying to identify which pheromones share this information. Ants also give off pheromones that identify the nest they belong to, their social status, and their maturity. The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form collective memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators. 12. How could ants communicate according to the text? A. By attracting companions via sounds. B. By sending alarm signals to the queen. C. By identifying pheromones with antennae. D. By keeping on the same track. 13. What is the function of the pheromone trail? A. To spot enemies in the ant colony. B. To help companions find food sources. C. To keep the orders of the ant community. D. To enable ants to communicate with humans. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Ants have no collective memories. B. Ants’ alarm-sounding ability is unique. C. Researchers have identified the types of pheromones. D. More secrets on ants’ communication remain unknown. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Insight into Ants’ Communication. B. The Secret of Touching Antennae. C. The Research on Ants’ Memories. D. The Amazing World of Ants. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了蚂蚁如何通过释放信息素和使用触角进行交流，以及科学家对此的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Ants communicate by releasing pheromones (信息素) that function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other.(蚂蚁通过释放体外起作用的信息素来向接收信息的蚂蚁发送化学信息，并通过触摸它们的触角来感觉和闻对方的味道进行交流。)”可知，蚂蚁通过触角识别信息素来交流。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The result of these pheromone paths is long lines of ants, marching one behind each other to collect food.(这些信息素路径的结果是长长的蚂蚁队伍，它们一个接一个地行进去收集食物。)”可知，信息素轨迹的功能是帮助同伴找到食物来源。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form collective memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators.(研究人员对蚂蚁的研究越多，他们就越能发现蚂蚁相互传递信息、学习、形成集体记忆和发出警报的能力。蚂蚁真是令人惊叹的交流者。)”可推知，蚂蚁交流的更多秘密仍然未知。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了蚂蚁如何通过释放信息素和使用触角进行交流，以及科学家对此的研究，所以选项A“对蚂蚁交流的洞察”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 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。 Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is well deserved to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature. While tourism is good, it has its dark side. Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution. This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing. ____16____ When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important. ____17____ If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them. Most times, what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk. If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high. In our efforts to protect nature, we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures. The local communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife. ____18____ Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does. Most people are not sustainability conscious._ ____19____ We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas. The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person. However, sharing your experience may help others have different perspectives. At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality. ____20____ However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world. A. No rule fits all situations concerning this topic. B. The reason for this is that they think it cannot be achieved. C. Protect our lives from potential danger by following regulations. D. The best way to care for nature and wildlife is to follow the rules. E. Instead of being critical, take your time to learn from their practices. F. An ecotourist focuses on protecting nature, culture and social practices. G. The term ecotourism is often used interchangeably with sustainable tourism. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了可持续旅游（或生态旅游）的重要性，提出了一些实践可持续旅游的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing.(通过提倡可持续度假，可以减少这种污染。)”和下文“When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.(说到生态旅游，你激励他人采取行动同样重要。)”可知，本段主要讲述生态旅游或可持续旅游的重要性。选项G“生态旅游和可持续旅游这两个术语经常可以互换使用”能够承上启下，既提到了上文中的sustainable vacationing，也引出了下文中的ecotourism。故选G。 17题详解】 根据下文“If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them.(如果公园禁止喂养野生动物，就不要喂养它们。)”可知，本段主要讲述要遵守规定，保护野生动物。选项D“关心自然和野生动物的最好方法就是遵守规则”能够概括本段主旨。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife.(当你访问这些当地社区时，你可能会发现他们参与了一些可能对生态系统或野生动物不友好的做法。)”和下文“Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.(试着倾听并与社区互动，比为批评打开更多带来改变的大门。)”可知，此处内容应与学习当地社区的做法有关，选项E“不要妄加批评，而是花时间去学习他们的做法”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Most people are not sustainability conscious.(大多数人没有可持续意识。)”和下文“We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas.(我们有很多方法可以实现可持续发展，其中之一就是分享你的想法。)”可知，本段主要讲述大多数人没有可持续意识的原因，以及实现可持续发展的方法。选项B“这是因为他们认为这是无法实现的”能够承接上文，并引出下文提出的实现可持续发展的方法。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality.(归根结底，可持续度假不仅应该帮助你减少对环境的负面影响，还应该唤醒社会对这一现实的认识。)”和下文“However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.(然而，每一个小步骤都有助于构建一个更可持续的世界。)”可知，此处存在一个转折关系，选项A“在这个问题上，没有一成不变的规则”能够与下文形成转折关系，表示虽然可持续旅游没有固定的规则，但每一个小步骤都有助于构建一个更可持续的世界。故选A。 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a little kid, I was fascinated by the inner workings of every device in my family’s home.

Despite the city’s promise of opportunities, he struggled with a low-paying job and high expenses. Every month felt like a battle to make ends meet. He missed the warmth of Mr. Thompson’s old house, where every tenant (租户) felt like family and Mr. Thompson treated each tenant with constant kindness. One cool autumn day, as Jack sorted through his mail, mostly consisting of bills and advertisements, a plain white envelope caught his eye. The return address belonged to Mr. Thompson. Heart pounding with curiosity, Jack tore it open. Inside, a check for $2,500 and a handwritten note fell into his hands. “Dear Jack, I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve recently sold the old house, and it felt only right to share a portion of the proceeds with those who made it a home. Over the years, watching young people like you grow and pursue their dreams has been my greatest reward. Your presence brought joy and warmth to our community. I wish you all the best. Warm regards, Thompson” Jack’s eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. This unexpected windfall was more than just money-it was a lifeline, a ray of hope in his struggles. The gesture reminded him of all the times Mr. Thompson had shown similar kindness to his tenants, from helping with repairs to offering wise advice during difficult times. The check trembled in Jack’s hand. It could fix everything, he thought-the unpaid rent, the empty fridge, and the endless fear. But his chest tightened. Memories of his father’s lectures echoed: “Never depend on others. Stand on your own.” Jack had promised to prove himself in the city, yet here he was, drowning. Mr. Thompson’s words warmed him, but doubt crept in. Was it a charity case? He needed answers-not from the money, but from the man who sent it. Jack paced, the check glaring from the table. He imagined Mr. Thompson’s kind eyes. This isn’t pity, Jack reasoned. It’s... thanks. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. He carefully placed the check in his wallet and set out for Mr. Thompson’s new address. When he arrived, Mr. Thompson greeted him warmly, inviting him in. Jack’s voice trembled as he thanked Mr. Thompson for the generous gift. “It’s more than just money to me,” Jack said, eyes welling up. “It’s hope.” Mr. Thompson smiled, patting Jack’s shoulder. “You deserve it, Jack. You’ve always been a good tenant and a kind person. I believe in you.” Jack left with a lighter heart, feeling more grateful than ever. Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. He returned home and sat down to make a plan. He decided to use part of the money to pay off his debts and buy groceries. But the rest, he would save. He realized that Mr. Thompson’s kindness wasn’t just a handout — it was a vote of confidence. Jack vowed to work harder, find a better job, and one day, pay it forward. He looked at the check, now a symbol of hope and belief, and smiled. He knew he could do it. With renewed determination, Jack set out to build a brighter future for himself. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jack在城市中艰难生活，收到前房东Mr. Thompson寄来的一张2500美元的支票和一张手写便条，便条中Mr. Thompson表示希望这笔钱能帮助Jack，并对他给社区带来的快乐和温暖表示感谢，这让Jack非常感动，但同时也让他陷入了是否应该接受这笔钱的犹豫之中。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“无论如何，Jack决定亲自去表达他的感激之情。”可知，第一段可描写Jack亲自去感谢Mr. Thompson，并表达这笔钱对他来说意味着希望，Mr. Thompson则鼓励了Jack，让他心怀感激地离开。 ②由第二段首句内容“受到Mr. Thompson话语的启发，Jack知道接下来该做什么了。”可知，第二段可描写Jack的具体做法以及感悟。 2.续写线索：表达感谢——解释原因——得到鼓励——接受帮助——感悟——决定传递善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出发：set out/set off ②颤抖：tremble/shiver ③值得：deserve/be worth ④决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/appreciate ②善良的：kind/virtuous 【点睛】[高分句型1]Jack left with a lighter heart, feeling more grateful than ever.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]He realized that Mr. Thompson’s kindness wasn’t just a handout — it was a vote of confidence.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
