Among the numerous plans and aspirations I’ve set for myself, one stands out — my decision to learn the piano. Initially, the thought of mastering this elegant instrument filled me with enthusiasm, but soon, the rigorous practice and complex theory took their toll. I surrendered, overwhelmed by the challenge. Looking back, I realize that my surrender was a result of my lack of perseverance. I failed to persevere when faced with difficulties. This experience taught me a valuable lesson: giving up too easily can lead to missed opportunities and unfulfilled dreams. Now, I strive to be more determined, understanding that true growth lies in overcoming obstacles, not avoiding them. Persistence, not surrender, is the key to success. 网（北京）股份有限公司3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ ( ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… ) ( ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… ) ( 此卷只装订 不密封 ) ( ………………○……………… 内 ………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… … 学校： ______________ 姓名： _____________ 班级： _______________ 考号： ______________________ ) 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高一英语下学期第三次月考卷 （考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：105分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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．测试范围：必修二Units 3~4+必修三Units 1-3（沪外版） 4．难度系数：0.65。 5．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. American Writer — Toni Morrison American writer Toni Morrison was born in 1931 in Ohio. She 1 (raise) in an African American family filled with songs and stories of Southern myths (神话), 2 later shaped her essays. Her happy family life led to her excellent performance in school, despite the atmosphere of racism (种族歧视) in the society. 3 (graduate) from college, Morrison started to work as a teacher and got married in 1958. Several years later, her marriage began to fail. For a temporary escape, she joined a small writers group, in 4 each member was required to bring a story or poem for discussion. She wrote a story 5 (base) on the life of a girl she knew in childhood who had prayed to God for blue eyes. The story was well received by the group, but then she put it away, 6 (think) she was done with it. In 1964, Morrison got divorced and devoted herself to 7 (write). One day, she dusted off the story she had written for the writers’ group and decided to make 8 into a novel. She drew on her memories from childhood and expanded upon them using her imagination 9 the character developed a life of their own. The Bluest Eye was eventually published in 1970. From 1970 to 1992, Morrison published five more novels. In her novels, Morrison brings in different elements of the African American past, their struggles, problems and cultural memory. In Song of Solomon, for example, Morrison tells the story of an Africa American man and his search for identity in his culture. The novels and other works won her several prizes. In 1993, Morrison received the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is the eighth woman and the first African American woman 10 (win) the honor. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．aimed  B．characterized  C． connection  D．decline  E. emerging  F. objective  G. previously  H. randomly  I. revealed  J. promising  K. shallow We are increasingly learning that our guts (肠胃) and our brains are intimately linked. But while there has been extensive research into how our diets can accelerate brain aging, less is known about the foods that can prevent cognitive 11 . “The 12 field of Nutritional Cognitive Neuroscience uncovers specific foods and nutrients that promote brain health across the lifespan,” Aron Barbey, director of the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, told Newsweek. “Central to this effort is the discovery of nutrient profiles that can be used in nutritional interventions 13 at enhancing brain health.” In a new study, published in the journal Nature Aging, Barbey, Jisheng Wu, and Christopher Zwilling used state-of-the-art technology to establish a set of specific nutrient profiles associated with better cognitive performance in adults over the age of 65, offering a 14 path towards designing nutritional interventions to promote healthy brain aging. The study involved 100 cognitively healthy participants aged 65 to 75. The analysis 15 two types of brain aging among the participants: accelerated and slower than expected. And those with slower brain aging had a distinct nutritional profile. The researchers said that this nutritional profile is closely linked with nutrients found in the Mediterranean diet, which has 16 been associated with healthy brain aging. The Mediterranean diet is 17 by a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and olive oil, with a moderate intake of cheese and fish and a limited intake of red and processed meat. This study provides a more 18 analysis of these associations. “First, it’s one of the largest and most comprehensive studies to use blood-based biomarkers to investigate the 19 between diet and brain health,” he said. “Second, it goes beyond traditional cognitive tests by employing multimodal neuroimaging measures, and provides a more complete picture of brain health.” However, Barbey noted that further research was needed to confirm these results. Observational studies like this one need to be followed by controlled trials conducted 20 to confirm the effectiveness of the identified nutrient profile in promoting brain health. II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 21-35每题1分；36-50每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context John Smith, a 35-year-old office worker from Manchester, was stuck in a cycle of poor health and low energy. 21 over 220 pounds and diagnosed as pre-diabetic, he was under great stress and knew he needed to make a change. After a doctor’s 22 about his risk of heart disease, John decided to try the ‌“Couch to 5K” program, a beginner-friendly running plan designed to help people 23 build up to running 5 kilometers. At first, John 24 to run even for a minute. But with determination and the support of online running 25 , he stuck to the plan. Within weeks, he noticed small improvements — more energy, better sleep, and a 26 mood. Six months later, John had lost 20 pounds, improved his cholesterol (胆固醇) levels, and 27 his blood pressure. Beyond the physical benefits, running became a 28 for John’s mental health. He found that the time spent outdoors and the sense of 29 after each run helped him manage stress and anxiety. ‌“Running 30 me a new perspective on life,” John said. ‌“It’s not just about fitness; it’s about mental 31 and confidence.” Today, John regularly participates in local 5K races and has 32 his friends and family to 33 running. His journey from the couch to completing a 5K is a 34 reminder of how small, consistent steps in sports and physical activity can lead to life-changing health 35 . 21．A．Exercising B．Weighing C．Running D．Living 22．A．requiring B． desiring C．knowing D．warning 23．A．newly B．gradually C．strangely D．monthly 24．A．struggled B．decided C．began D．committed 25．A．diets B．tests C．communities D．games 26．A．brighter B．calmer C．worse D．sadder 27．A．lessened B．rose C．lowered D．monitored 28．A．hobby B．lifeline C．challenge D．routine 29．A．accomplishment B．movement C．attachment D．establishment 30．A．showed B．presented C．taught D．gave 31．A．confusion B．clarity C．exhaustion D．frustration 32．A．visited B．contacted C．met D．inspired 33．A．take out B．take up C．take off D．take in 34．A．powerful B．artful C．hopeful D．thankful 35．A．habits B．balances C．improvements D．consequences Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Aaron Warren of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a shining example of resilience (坚韧) and positivity. Born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Aaron was never expected to live past his third birthday — but he just turned 27, ignoring the odds with his optimism (乐观). Marking his “golden birthday”, Aaron shared a joyful photoshoot with a bold balloon display reading “Disabled AF”. “I’ve officially lived to see 24 more birthdays than I was expected to see!” Aaron shared, adding. “If I had to sum up today in one word, it would be thankful.” He expressed gratitude (感恩) for his family, friends, business team, and even his trusty wheelchair — joking that it “kind of carries this whole operation.” He continued “Now, I’m off to celebrate with one of my favorite foods, lobster bisque soup. And if you happen to find a margarita (a strong drink) on my wheelchair tray... no you didn’t.” Beyond his enthusiasm (热情), Aaron is also a businessman making a difference. He founded Zipped Brands, a company that changes stylish name-brand shoes by adding zippers, making them easier to wear for people of all abilities. “Because of my disability and bent toes, wearing shoes — especially ones I loved — was nearly impossible,” Aaron shared. “I accepted that stylish shoes weren’t meant for me.” Then came a breakthrough: What if I could add zippers to my favorite shoe brands? That simple yet powerful idea sparked a business, ensuring that everyone, normal or disabled, has access to (可使用) fashionable footwear. Aaron’s story is a powerful reminder that resilience, humor, and gratitude can turn any challenge into an opportunity. He refuses to be defined by limitations, instead using his journey to uplift others — whether through his optimism or his business making life easier for people of all abilities. 36．What did Aaron Warren celebrate according to paragraph 3? A．His third birthday. B．The founding of Zipped Brands. C．His 27th birthday. D．The first time he had great foods. 37．What was the purpose of Aaron Warren founding Zipped Brands? A．To create jobs for disabled individuals. B．To earn more money to treat his disability. C．To raise public awareness of preventing SMA． D．To make stylish shoes accessible to more people. 38．Which of the following can best describe Aaron Warren? A．Energetic and responsible. B．Humorous and optimistic. C．Fashionable and easy-going. D．Sensitive and enthusiastic. 39．What can we learn from Aaron Warren’s story? A．Gratitude enriches life’s experiences. B．Disability limits personal achievements. C．Resilience overcomes life’s challenges. D．Creativity comes from personal fortune. (B) Which book you should read based on your next travel destination Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan. Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep you captivated during your trip. Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America. A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York. Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons. As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”. Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has even become its own tourist spot. 40．If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up? A．The Fault in Our Stars. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude. C．1Q84. D．The Great Gatsby. 41．Which one of the following is NOT true? A．Generations of the Buendia family live in their South-American town. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America. C．“West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names. D．The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 42．An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her 16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city. According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city? A．Tokyo. B．New York. C．Amsterdam. D．Sao Paulo. (C) In the classic mirror test, an animal is marked on an area of the body by scientists and then placed before a mirror. If the animal touches or explores the mark, it is taken as an indication that it regards the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal. Now, scientists have carried out the experiment with two species of snakes: 18 African ball pythons and 36 eastern garter snakes. Because of snakes’ poor ability to see, the researchers adapted the classic mirror test. They collected five scents: The snake’s own scent, its own scent mixed with olive oil, the scent of pure olive oil, the scent of another snake and the scent of another snake mixed with olive oil. African ball pythons spent a similar amount of time with each scent. But eastern garter snakes paid much more attention to their own scent that had been mixed with that of olive oil. The scientists suggest the garter snakes recognized themselves by noticing the unexpected change in their smell. “They only do long tongue flicks (轻弹) when they’re interested in something,” Miller says “I think their experimental model is more powerful than the mirror test,” Rulon Clark, a biologist, says. “A highly reflective mirrored surface doesn’t have a lot of equals in the natural environment. But researching chemical signals like scents left by a species and its fellow members well informs ourselves about how the species learns about itself and interacts with the environment.” Researchers conducted a similar study in 2021 with 24 eastern garter snakes. Instead of scents and olive oil, they observed the snakes’ interest in cage liners (衬垫) — their own, versus those of other snakes with both similar and dissimilar diets. By observing how long a snake flicked its tongue before each liner, that team also showed that the snakes focused on their own scents more than others’. “Snakes are believed to be boring animals that are not very smart, but our research shows that they display many of the same clever features as other animals. We can make progress in this field if we respect the species’ biology and way of dealing with the world and ask the right questions,” Gordon Burghardt, the study’s lead author, says. 43．What is the classic mirror test intended to test about animals? A．Natural changes in their looks. B．Their self-recognition ability. C．Differences in their vision. D．Their adaptability. 44．How did the researchers adapt the mirror test for snakes? A．By adding mirror types. B．By including two species. C．By giving them vision training. D．By relying on their sense of smell. 45．Why is the new experimental model considered more powerful? A．It enables deeper exploration of animal behavior. B．It can drive better treatment of chemical scents. C．It benefits nature protection during studies. D．It can reduce competition among species. 46．What inspiration does Gordon Burghardt probably want to share? A．Trying to learn from research failures. B．Exploring less-noticed research topics. C．Designing species-specific research methods. D．Exchanging ideas with scientists in different fields. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. You’re Choosing a Gift. Here’s What Not to Do. On Christmas morning, a husband quietly apologizes to his wife that his gifts this year are humble-money is tight. She bravely declares that she loves the sweater. Later, as the children play with their new toys, the husband reveals one last gift box. 47 She squeals (发出尖叫声) with astonished delight. This advertising is not just cloying (令人生厌的). It also feeds some false beliefs people commonly hold about what makes gift receivers happy. Fortunately, psychological and marketing research shows that these beliefs are wrong. 48 Ignore price. When researchers asked people to recall a gift they gave and then to rate how much they thought receivers liked it, higher prices went with higher ratings. But when people made the same ratings for a gift they had received, price was completely unrelated to enjoyment. 49 Gift givers tend to focus on how pleasurable it would be to use the gift, but overlook how easily or often the gift will be used; a husband might imagine his wife feeling like a million dollars in her diamonds, but ignore the fact that she seldom wears formal jewelry. Don’t worry if your gift isn’t usable immediately. In one experiment, researchers asked people to compare different types of gifts: One was immediately appealing, like a dozen flowers in full bloom, or, for a similar price, a gift that would be more satisfying in the long term, like two dozen buds that would bloom in a few days. 50 However, others who were asked which they’d like to receive picked the latter. A．Give people what they ask for: B．Give gifts that are actually usable. C．In it the wife discovers a diamond necklace. D．It also offers guidance for picking gifts that people will actually like. E．When people thought they would give the gift, they preferred the former. F．Gift givers think that unexpectedness adds value because it shows thoughtfulness II.Translation (共15分。第1-3小题,每题2分;第4题4分;第5题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 51．经常洗手和保持社交距离可以抑制病毒的传播。(spread) (汉译英) 52．正是因为没有抵制金钱和名誉的诱惑，那位名人违反了法律，最终她不得不为此付出惨重的代价。(price) (汉译英) 53．有些青少年热衷于在各大网络平台为喜欢的歌手投票，因此浪费了大量的时间。(enthusiastic) (汉译英) 54．一听说这款新上市的电动车打9折出售，消费者们纷纷涌入这家汽车销售店试驾。(flood) (汉译英) 55．这部纪录片旨在呼吁人们保护濒临灭绝的物种。(appeal)(汉译英) IV.Guided Writing (共25分) 56．Directions:  Write an English composition in 100-120 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是明启中学高一学生李明，在你校英语报读到如下征文启事：从小学至今，每个 人都制定过许多计划，有过许多新学期愿景，其中有些中途放弃了，有些坚持到底了。请你就“坚持还是放弃”这个话题写一篇征文，内容需包括： ●  简单描述你曾经中途放弃或坚持到底的某个计划； ●  阐述你中途放弃或坚持到底的原因以及对你的启示。 (文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 试题 第9页（共12页） 试题 第10页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高一英语下学期第三次月考卷 （考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：105分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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．测试范围：必修二Units 3~4+必修三Units 1-3（沪外版） 4．难度系数：0.65。 5．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Aaron Warren of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a shining example of resilience (坚韧) and positivity. Born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Aaron was never expected to live past his third birthday — but he just turned 27, ignoring the odds with his optimism (乐观). Marking his “golden birthday”, Aaron shared a joyful photoshoot with a bold balloon display reading “Disabled AF”. “I’ve officially lived to see 24 more birthdays than I was expected to see!” Aaron shared, adding. “If I had to sum up today in one word, it would be thankful.” He expressed gratitude (感恩) for his family, friends, business team, and even his trusty wheelchair — joking that it “kind of carries this whole operation.” He continued “Now, I’m off to celebrate with one of my favorite foods, lobster bisque soup. And if you happen to find a margarita (a strong drink) on my wheelchair tray... no you didn’t.” Beyond his enthusiasm (热情), Aaron is also a businessman making a difference. He founded Zipped Brands, a company that changes stylish name-brand shoes by adding zippers, making them easier to wear for people of all abilities. “Because of my disability and bent toes, wearing shoes — especially ones I loved — was nearly impossible,” Aaron shared. “I accepted that stylish shoes weren’t meant for me.” Then came a breakthrough: What if I could add zippers to my favorite shoe brands? That simple yet powerful idea sparked a business, ensuring that everyone, normal or disabled, has access to (可使用) fashionable footwear. Aaron’s story is a powerful reminder that resilience, humor, and gratitude can turn any challenge into an opportunity. He refuses to be defined by limitations, instead using his journey to uplift others — whether through his optimism or his business making life easier for people of all abilities. 36．What did Aaron Warren celebrate according to paragraph 3?

(亚伦的故事有力地提醒我们，坚韧、幽默和感恩可以将任何挑战转化为机遇。他拒绝被限制所定义，而是用自己的经历来鼓舞他人——无论是通过他的乐观态度，还是通过他的企业使各种能力的人的生活更轻松。)”可知，亚伦凭借坚韧克服了疾病带来的挑战，还取得了商业成就，所以从他的故事我们能学到坚韧能克服生活中的挑战。故选C项。 (B) Which book you should read based on your next travel destination Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan. Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep you captivated during your trip. Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America. A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York. Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons. As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”. Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has even become its own tourist spot. 40．If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up? A．The Fault in Our Stars. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude. C．1Q84. D．The Great Gatsby. 41．Which one of the following is NOT true?

Scott Fitzgerald. 42．An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her 16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city. According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city? A．Tokyo. B．New York. C．Amsterdam. D．Sao Paulo. 【答案】40．C 41．B 42．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本前往旅行目的地时可以阅读的文学作品。 40．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep you captivated during your trip. (日本著名作家村上春树创造了另一个1984，名为1Q84，在那里一切都感觉不对劲，一切都略有不同。以日本东京为背景，这本反乌托邦、充满神秘的奇幻小说一定会让你在旅途中着迷)”可知，《1Q84》这本书涉及平行存在，充满神秘，因此适合对平行存在感兴趣、充满想象力的读者。故选C项。 41．细节理解题。根据第二段中“A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. (作为一部重要的文学作品，加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的经典作品讲述了布恩迪亚家族几代人在南美小镇上的生活)”和第三段中“Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. (虽然经典小说中的“West Egg”和“East Egg”更像长岛的大颈和华盛顿港半岛，但人们认为，弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德在创作这本书时受到了汉普顿斯的启发)”可知，布恩迪亚家族家族几代人都住在他们的南美小镇上，“West Egg”和“East Egg”都是地名，《了不起的盖茨比》是弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德写的，A、C、D与文意相符。根据第二段中“Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. (加西亚·马尔克斯的魔幻现实主义与他丰富的描写相结合，使这本书成为参观南美洲一些令人惊叹的景点的完美读物)”可知，B项“《百年孤独》是一本主要描写南美洲风景的书”与文意不符。故选B项。 42．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. (约翰·格林的故事曾于2014年被改编成电影，讲述了一群命运多舛的青少年，其中有一段著名的阿姆斯特丹之旅)”可知，《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书中包含青少年前往阿姆斯特丹的故事，再结合题干中“有人可能会对这种疯狂的情况感到惊讶：一位母亲把她16岁的女儿和一个17岁的男孩单独送到一个外国城市”的摘要可知，该摘要出自《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书，这座外国城市是阿姆斯特丹。故选C项。 (C) In the classic mirror test, an animal is marked on an area of the body by scientists and then placed before a mirror. If the animal touches or explores the mark, it is taken as an indication that it regards the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal. Now, scientists have carried out the experiment with two species of snakes: 18 African ball pythons and 36 eastern garter snakes. Because of snakes’ poor ability to see, the researchers adapted the classic mirror test. They collected five scents: The snake’s own scent, its own scent mixed with olive oil, the scent of pure olive oil, the scent of another snake and the scent of another snake mixed with olive oil. African ball pythons spent a similar amount of time with each scent. But eastern garter snakes paid much more attention to their own scent that had been mixed with that of olive oil. The scientists suggest the garter snakes recognized themselves by noticing the unexpected change in their smell. “They only do long tongue flicks (轻弹) when they’re interested in something,” Miller says “I think their experimental model is more powerful than the mirror test,” Rulon Clark, a biologist, says. “A highly reflective mirrored surface doesn’t have a lot of equals in the natural environment. But researching chemical signals like scents left by a species and its fellow members well informs ourselves about how the species learns about itself and interacts with the environment.” Researchers conducted a similar study in 2021 with 24 eastern garter snakes. Instead of scents and olive oil, they observed the snakes’ interest in cage liners (衬垫) — their own, versus those of other snakes with both similar and dissimilar diets. By observing how long a snake flicked its tongue before each liner, that team also showed that the snakes focused on their own scents more than others’. “Snakes are believed to be boring animals that are not very smart, but our research shows that they display many of the same clever features as other animals. We can make progress in this field if we respect the species’ biology and way of dealing with the world and ask the right questions,” Gordon Burghardt, the study’s lead author, says. 43．What is the classic mirror test intended to test about animals? A．Natural changes in their looks. B．Their self-recognition ability. C．Differences in their vision. D．Their adaptability. 44．How did the researchers adapt the mirror test for snakes? A．By adding mirror types. B．By including two species. C．By giving them vision training. D．By relying on their sense of smell. 45．Why is the new experimental model considered more powerful? A．It enables deeper exploration of animal behavior. B．It can drive better treatment of chemical scents. C．It benefits nature protection during studies. D．It can reduce competition among species. 46．What inspiration does Gordon Burghardt probably want to share? A．Trying to learn from research failures. B．Exploring less-noticed research topics. C．Designing species-specific research methods. D．Exchanging ideas with scientists in different fields. 【答案】43．B 44．D 45．A 46．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家通过改良的“镜子测试”发现，东部束带蛇能通过嗅觉识别自己，挑战了蛇智力有限的普遍观念。 43．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the classic mirror test, an animal is marked on an area of the body by scientists and then placed before a mirror. If the animal touches or explores the mark, it is taken as an indication that it regards the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal.(在经典的镜子测试中，科学家在动物身体的某个部位做上标记，然后把动物放在镜子前。如果动物触摸或探索标记，这就表明它把反射的图像看作是自己的图像，而不是其他动物的图像)”可知，经典镜子测试是为了测试动物的自我识别能力。故选B。 44．细节理解题。根据第二段“Because of snakes’ poor ability to see, the researchers adapted the classic mirror test. They collected five scents: The snake’s own scent, its own scent mixed with olive oil, the scent of pure olive oil, the scent of another snake and the scent of another snake mixed with olive oil.(由于蛇的视觉能力很差，研究人员采用了经典的镜子测试。他们收集了五种气味：蛇自己的气味、蛇自己混合橄榄油的气味、纯橄榄油的气味、另一条蛇的气味和另一条蛇混合橄榄油的气味)”可知，科学家调整了原有的“镜子测试”，转而测试蛇的嗅觉感知能力。故选D。 45．推理判断题。根据第四段“A highly reflective mirrored surface doesn’t have a lot of equals in the natural environment. But researching chemical signals like scents left by a species and its fellow members well informs ourselves about how the species learns about itself and interacts with the environment.(高反射率的镜面在自然环境中并没有很多相同的东西。但是，研究一个物种及其同伴留下的气味等化学信号，可以让我们很好地了解这个物种是如何了解自己以及与环境相互作用的)”可知，传统测试中使用的镜子在动物生存环境中并不常见，而动物身上的化学信息有助于人类了解动物的自我认识及与环境的互动，可知新模型有助于人类对动物行为的深度探索。故选A。 46．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Snakes are believed to be boring animals that are not very smart, but our research shows that they display many of the same clever features as other animals. We can make progress in this field if we respect the species’ biology and way of dealing with the world and ask the right questions,” Gordon Burghardt, the study’s lead author, says.(“蛇被认为是一种无聊的动物，不太聪明，但我们的研究表明，它们表现出许多与其他动物相同的聪明特征。如果我们尊重物种的生物学和与世界打交道的方式，并提出正确的问题，我们就能在这一领域取得进展，”该研究的主要作者戈登·伯格哈特说)”可推知，Gordon Burghardt想说明研究者应采用与物种生物特性匹配的研究方法。故选C。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. You’re Choosing a Gift. Here’s What Not to Do. On Christmas morning, a husband quietly apologizes to his wife that his gifts this year are humble-money is tight. She bravely declares that she loves the sweater. Later, as the children play with their new toys, the husband reveals one last gift box. 47 She squeals (发出尖叫声) with astonished delight. This advertising is not just cloying (令人生厌的). It also feeds some false beliefs people commonly hold about what makes gift receivers happy. Fortunately, psychological and marketing research shows that these beliefs are wrong. 48 Ignore price. When researchers asked people to recall a gift they gave and then to rate how much they thought receivers liked it, higher prices went with higher ratings. But when people made the same ratings for a gift they had received, price was completely unrelated to enjoyment. 49 Gift givers tend to focus on how pleasurable it would be to use the gift, but overlook how easily or often the gift will be used; a husband might imagine his wife feeling like a million dollars in her diamonds, but ignore the fact that she seldom wears formal jewelry. Don’t worry if your gift isn’t usable immediately. In one experiment, researchers asked people to compare different types of gifts: One was immediately appealing, like a dozen flowers in full bloom, or, for a similar price, a gift that would be more satisfying in the long term, like two dozen buds that would bloom in a few days. 50 However, others who were asked which they’d like to receive picked the latter. A．Give people what they ask for: B．Give gifts that are actually usable. C．In it the wife discovers a diamond necklace. D．It also offers guidance for picking gifts that people will actually like. E．When people thought they would give the gift, they preferred the former. F．Gift givers think that unexpectedness adds value because it shows thoughtfulness 【答案】47．C 48．D 49．B 50．E 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过事例就如何送礼提出了一些建议。 47．根据上文“On Christmas morning, a husband quietly apologizes to his wife that his gifts this year are humble-money is tight. She bravely declares that she loves the sweater. Later, as the children play with their new toys, the husband reveals one last gift box.(圣诞节的早晨，丈夫悄悄地向妻子道歉，说他今年送的礼物太少了——因为手头紧。她勇敢地宣称她喜欢那件毛衣。后来，当孩子们玩他们的新玩具时，丈夫拿出了最后一个礼品盒)”以及后文“She squeals (发出尖叫声) with astonished delight.(她又惊又喜地尖叫起来)”可知，上文提到丈夫圣诞节早晨丈夫拿出了最后一个礼品盒，后文则提到妻子发出尖叫，推测本句是在说明妻子打开了礼品盒发现了礼物，十分惊喜。故C选项“妻子在礼品盒中发现一条钻石项链”符合语境，故选C。 48．根据上文“This advertising is not just cloying (令人生厌的). It also feeds some false beliefs people commonly hold about what makes gift receivers happy. Fortunately, psychological and marketing research shows that these beliefs are wrong.(这种广告不仅令人腻味。它也助长了人们通常持有的关于什么能让收礼者快乐的错误信念。幸运的是，心理学和市场研究表明，这些观念是错误的)”可知，上文提到心理学和市场研究表明上述观念是错误的，本句为本段最后一句，推测应当说明如何帮助人们挑选真正喜欢的礼物。故D选项“它还提供了挑选人们真正喜欢的礼物的指导”符合语境，故选D。 49．根据本段内容“Gift givers tend to focus on how pleasurable it would be to use the gift, but overlook how easily or often the gift will be used; a husband might imagine his wife feeling like a million dollars in her diamonds, but ignore the fact that she seldom wears formal jewelry.(送礼者倾向于关注使用礼物的愉悦程度，而忽略了礼物使用的容易程度和频率；一个丈夫可能会想象他的妻子因为她的钻石而感觉身价百万，但忽略了她很少戴正式珠宝的事实)”可知，本段的主旨是考虑礼物实用的容易程度和频率，即本句总结礼物需要实际、可用的特点。故B选项“送实际可用的礼物”符合语境，故选B。 50．根据上文“Don’t worry if your gift isn’t usable immediately. In one experiment, researchers asked people to compare different types of gifts: One was immediately appealing, like a dozen flowers in full bloom, or, for a similar price, a gift that would be more satisfying in the long term, like two dozen buds that would bloom in a few days.(如果你的礼物不能立即使用，不要担心。在一项实验中，研究人员要求人们比较不同类型的礼物：一种是立即吸引人的礼物，比如一打盛开的鲜花；另一种是价格相似的礼物，从长远来看会更令人满意，比如几天后会开花的二十几朵花蕾)”以及后文“However, others who were asked which they’d like to receive picked the latter.(然而，当被问及他们想要哪种礼物时，其他人选择了后者)”可知，本句与后文都是在说明人们对于礼物的选择问题，后文提到了选择后者的情况，推测本句是在说明人们会选择前者的情况。故E选项“当人们认为他们将要送礼物时，他们更喜欢前者”符合语境，故选E。 II.Translation (共15分。第1-3小题,每题2分;第4题4分;第5题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 51．经常洗手和保持社交距离可以抑制病毒的传播。(spread) (汉译英) 【答案】Frequent hand washing and maintaining social distance can prevent/control the spread of viruses. 【详解】考查动词、名词、非谓语动词以及短语。句子陈述一般的状况，时态使用一般现在时。根据句意，可以把主句写成主谓宾结构，主语“经常洗手和保持社交距离”是并列结构，“经常洗手”可以使用frequent hand washing，“保持”的英语是动词maintain，“社交距离”的英语是social distance，“保持社交距离”用于主语位置，应使用动名词形式maintaining social distance；谓语动词“可以抑制”用动词情态动词can +prevent/control；“传播”使用所给名词spread充当宾语，“病毒的传播”使用of短语of viruses修饰名词spread。故翻译为Frequent hand washing and maintaining social distance can prevent/control the spread of viruses. 52．正是因为没有抵制金钱和名誉的诱惑，那位名人违反了法律，最终她不得不为此付出惨重的代价。(price) (汉译英) 【答案】Just because she didn’t resist the temptation of money and fame, the celebrity broke the law and eventually she had to pay a heavy price for it. 【详解】考查原因状语从句和固定短语。“正是因为”可翻译为just because；“抵制……的诱惑”可翻译为resist the temptation of；“违反法律”翻译为break the law；“不得不做某事”翻译为have to do sth.；“付出惨重的代价”翻译为pay a heavy price for sth。因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时，故翻译为Just because she didn’t resist the temptation of money and fame, the celebrity broke the law and eventually she had to pay a heavy price for it. 53．有些青少年热衷于在各大网络平台为喜欢的歌手投票，因此浪费了大量的时间。(enthusiastic) (汉译英) 【答案】Some teenagers are so enthusiastic about voting for their favorite singers on major online platforms that they waste a lot of time. 【详解】考查时态、固定搭配、名词、非谓语动词、形容词。表示“有些”用some，表示“青少年”用teenager，根据“有些青少年”可知，用复数teenagers，some teenagers作主语，some位于句首，首字母大写。表示“热衷于”用固定搭配be enthusiastic about，本句描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语为复数，be动词用are。表示“为……投票”用固定搭配vote for，用动名词，作about的宾语。表示“喜欢的”用形容词favorite，作前置定语，修饰名词“歌手”。表示“歌手”用singer，结合句意可知，歌手不止一个，应用名词复数形式，their favorite singers作voting for的宾语。表示“网络平台”用online platform，网络平台不止一个，应用名词复数形式。表示“各大”用形容词major，作前置定语，修饰online platform，on major online platforms作地点状语。表示“如此以至于”用固定句型so...that...，so后用形容词enthusiastic，that引导结果状语从句。从句中：表示“他们”用they，作主语；表示“浪费”用waste，作谓语；表示“大量的”用a lot of；表示“时间”用time，a lot of time作waste的宾语。故翻译为Some teenagers are so enthusiastic about voting for their favorite singers on major online platforms that they waste a lot of time. 54．一听说这款新上市的电动车打9折出售，消费者们纷纷涌入这家汽车销售店试驾。(flood) (汉译英) 【答案】As soon as they heard that the newly launched electric car was sold at a 10% discount, consumers flooded into the car dealership for a test drive. 【详解】考查状语从句和固定短语。“一……就……”翻译为as soon as 引导状语从句；“听说”翻译为heard，因从句表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时；“新上市的”翻译为newly launched；“打9折出售”翻译为was sold at a 10% discount ；“涌入”使用flood into，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时；“汽车销售店”为car dealership；“试驾”为for a test drive。故翻译为：As soon as they heard that the newly launched electric car was sold at a 10% discount, consumers flooded into the car dealership for a test drive。 55．这部纪录片旨在呼吁人们保护濒临灭绝的物种。(appeal)(汉译英) 【答案】This documentary aims to appeal to people to protect endangered species. 【详解】考查时态和固定短语。表示“旨在”应用动词短语aim to do，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，又因主语为单数第三人称，谓语动词使用单数第三人称形式；表示“呼吁某人做某事”短语为appeal to sb. to do sth；“保护”可翻译为protect，“濒临灭绝的物种”可翻译为endangered species。故翻译为This documentary aims to appeal to people to protect endangered species.

Among the numerous plans and aspirations I’ve set for myself, one stands out — my decision to learn the piano. Initially, the thought of mastering this elegant instrument filled me with enthusiasm, but soon, the rigorous practice and complex theory took their toll. I surrendered, overwhelmed by the challenge. Looking back, I realize that my surrender was a result of my lack of perseverance. I failed to persevere when faced with difficulties. This experience taught me a valuable lesson: giving up too easily can lead to missed opportunities and unfulfilled dreams. Now, I strive to be more determined, understanding that true growth lies in overcoming obstacles, not avoiding them. Persistence, not surrender, is the key to success. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于议论文。要求考生就“坚持还是放弃”这个话题写一篇征文。 【详解】1.词汇积累 遇到：encounter→run into 意识到：realize→be aware of 努力：strive to→struggle to 障碍：obstacle→barrier 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Initially, the thought of mastering this elegant instrument filled me with enthusiasm, but soon, the rigorous practice and complex theory took their toll. 拓展句：Initially, although the thought of mastering this elegant instrument filled me with enthusiasm, soon, the rigorous practice and complex theory took their toll. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking back, I realize that my surrender was a result of my lack of perseverance.

American Writer — Toni Morrison American writer Toni Morrison was born in 1931 in Ohio. She 1 (raise) in an African American family filled with songs and stories of Southern myths (神话), 2 later shaped her essays. Her happy family life led to her excellent performance in school, despite the atmosphere of racism (种族歧视) in the society. 3 (graduate) from college, Morrison started to work as a teacher and got married in 1958. Several years later, her marriage began to fail. For a temporary escape, she joined a small writers group, in 4 each member was required to bring a story or poem for discussion. She wrote a story 5 (base) on the life of a girl she knew in childhood who had prayed to God for blue eyes. The story was well received by the group, but then she put it away, 6 (think) she was done with it. In 1964, Morrison got divorced and devoted herself to 7 (write). One day, she dusted off the story she had written for the writers’ group and decided to make 8 into a novel. She drew on her memories from childhood and expanded upon them using her imagination 9 the character developed a life of their own. The Bluest Eye was eventually published in 1970. From 1970 to 1992, Morrison published five more novels. In her novels, Morrison brings in different elements of the African American past, their struggles, problems and cultural memory. In Song of Solomon, for example, Morrison tells the story of an Africa American man and his search for identity in his culture. The novels and other works won her several prizes. In 1993, Morrison received the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is the eighth woman and the first African American woman 10 (win) the honor.

But while there has been extensive research into how our diets can accelerate brain aging, less is known about the foods that can prevent cognitive 11 . “The 12 field of Nutritional Cognitive Neuroscience uncovers specific foods and nutrients that promote brain health across the lifespan,” Aron Barbey, director of the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, told Newsweek. “Central to this effort is the discovery of nutrient profiles that can be used in nutritional interventions 13 at enhancing brain health.” In a new study, published in the journal Nature Aging, Barbey, Jisheng Wu, and Christopher Zwilling used state-of-the-art technology to establish a set of specific nutrient profiles associated with better cognitive performance in adults over the age of 65, offering a 14 path towards designing nutritional interventions to promote healthy brain aging. The study involved 100 cognitively healthy participants aged 65 to 75. The analysis 15 two types of brain aging among the participants: accelerated and slower than expected. And those with slower brain aging had a distinct nutritional profile. The researchers said that this nutritional profile is closely linked with nutrients found in the Mediterranean diet, which has 16 been associated with healthy brain aging. The Mediterranean diet is 17 by a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and olive oil, with a moderate intake of cheese and fish and a limited intake of red and processed meat. This study provides a more 18 analysis of these associations. “First, it’s one of the largest and most comprehensive studies to use blood-based biomarkers to investigate the 19 between diet and brain health,” he said. “Second, it goes beyond traditional cognitive tests by employing multimodal neuroimaging measures, and provides a more complete picture of brain health.” However, Barbey noted that further research was needed to confirm these results. Observational studies like this one need to be followed by controlled trials conducted 20 to confirm the effectiveness of the identified nutrient profile in promoting brain health.

At first, John 24 to run even for a minute. But with determination and the support of online running 25 , he stuck to the plan. Within weeks, he noticed small improvements — more energy, better sleep, and a 26 mood. Six months later, John had lost 20 pounds, improved his cholesterol (胆固醇) levels, and 27 his blood pressure. Beyond the physical benefits, running became a 28 for John’s mental health. He found that the time spent outdoors and the sense of 29 after each run helped him manage stress and anxiety. ‌“Running 30 me a new perspective on life,” John said. ‌“It’s not just about fitness; it’s about mental 31 and confidence.” Today, John regularly participates in local 5K races and has 32 his friends and family to 33 running.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Aaron Warren of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a shining example of resilience (坚韧) and positivity. Born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Aaron was never expected to live past his third birthday — but he just turned 27, ignoring the odds with his optimism (乐观). Marking his “golden birthday”, Aaron shared a joyful photoshoot with a bold balloon display reading “Disabled AF”. “I’ve officially lived to see 24 more birthdays than I was expected to see!” Aaron shared, adding. “If I had to sum up today in one word, it would be thankful.” He expressed gratitude (感恩) for his family, friends, business team, and even his trusty wheelchair — joking that it “kind of carries this whole operation.” He continued “Now, I’m off to celebrate with one of my favorite foods, lobster bisque soup. And if you happen to find a margarita (a strong drink) on my wheelchair tray... no you didn’t.” Beyond his enthusiasm (热情), Aaron is also a businessman making a difference. He founded Zipped Brands, a company that changes stylish name-brand shoes by adding zippers, making them easier to wear for people of all abilities. “Because of my disability and bent toes, wearing shoes — especially ones I loved — was nearly impossible,” Aaron shared. “I accepted that stylish shoes weren’t meant for me.” Then came a breakthrough: What if I could add zippers to my favorite shoe brands? That simple yet powerful idea sparked a business, ensuring that everyone, normal or disabled, has access to (可使用) fashionable footwear. Aaron’s story is a powerful reminder that resilience, humor, and gratitude can turn any challenge into an opportunity. He refuses to be defined by limitations, instead using his journey to uplift others — whether through his optimism or his business making life easier for people of all abilities. 36．What did Aaron Warren celebrate according to paragraph 3? A．His third birthday. B．The founding of Zipped Brands. C．His 27th birthday. D．The first time he had great foods. 37．What was the purpose of Aaron Warren founding Zipped Brands? A．To create jobs for disabled individuals. B．To earn more money to treat his disability. C．To raise public awareness of preventing SMA． D．To make stylish shoes accessible to more people. 38．Which of the following can best describe Aaron Warren? A．Energetic and responsible. B．Humorous and optimistic. C．Fashionable and easy-going. D．Sensitive and enthusiastic. 39．What can we learn from Aaron Warren’s story? A．Gratitude enriches life’s experiences. B．Disability limits personal achievements. C．Resilience overcomes life’s challenges. D．Creativity comes from personal fortune. (B) Which book you should read based on your next travel destination Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan. Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep you captivated during your trip. Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America. A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York. Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons. As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”. Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has even become its own tourist spot. 40．If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up? A．The Fault in Our Stars. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude. C．1Q84. D．The Great Gatsby. 41．Which one of the following is NOT true? A．Generations of the Buendia family live in their South-American town. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America. C．“West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names. D．The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 42．An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her 16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city. According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city? A．Tokyo. B．New York. C．Amsterdam. D．Sao Paulo. (C) In the classic mirror test, an animal is marked on an area of the body by scientists and then placed before a mirror. If the animal touches or explores the mark, it is taken as an indication that it regards the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal. Now, scientists have carried out the experiment with two species of snakes: 18 African ball pythons and 36 eastern garter snakes. Because of snakes’ poor ability to see, the researchers adapted the classic mirror test. They collected five scents: The snake’s own scent, its own scent mixed with olive oil, the scent of pure olive oil, the scent of another snake and the scent of another snake mixed with olive oil. African ball pythons spent a similar amount of time with each scent. But eastern garter snakes paid much more attention to their own scent that had been mixed with that of olive oil. The scientists suggest the garter snakes recognized themselves by noticing the unexpected change in their smell. “They only do long tongue flicks (轻弹) when they’re interested in something,” Miller says “I think their experimental model is more powerful than the mirror test,” Rulon Clark, a biologist, says. “A highly reflective mirrored surface doesn’t have a lot of equals in the natural environment. But researching chemical signals like scents left by a species and its fellow members well informs ourselves about how the species learns about itself and interacts with the environment.” Researchers conducted a similar study in 2021 with 24 eastern garter snakes. Instead of scents and olive oil, they observed the snakes’ interest in cage liners (衬垫) — their own, versus those of other snakes with both similar and dissimilar diets. By observing how long a snake flicked its tongue before each liner, that team also showed that the snakes focused on their own scents more than others’. “Snakes are believed to be boring animals that are not very smart, but our research shows that they display many of the same clever features as other animals. We can make progress in this field if we respect the species’ biology and way of dealing with the world and ask the right questions,” Gordon Burghardt, the study’s lead author, says. 43．What is the classic mirror test intended to test about animals?

A．It enables deeper exploration of animal behavior. B．It can drive better treatment of chemical scents. C．It benefits nature protection during studies. D．It can reduce competition among species. 46．What inspiration does Gordon Burghardt probably want to share? A．Trying to learn from research failures. B．Exploring less-noticed research topics. C．Designing species-specific research methods. D．Exchanging ideas with scientists in different fields. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. You’re Choosing a Gift. Here’s What Not to Do. On Christmas morning, a husband quietly apologizes to his wife that his gifts this year are humble-money is tight. She bravely declares that she loves the sweater. Later, as the children play with their new toys, the husband reveals one last gift box. 47 She squeals (发出尖叫声) with astonished delight. This advertising is not just cloying (令人生厌的). It also feeds some false beliefs people commonly hold about what makes gift receivers happy. Fortunately, psychological and marketing research shows that these beliefs are wrong. 48 Ignore price. When researchers asked people to recall a gift they gave and then to rate how much they thought receivers liked it, higher prices went with higher ratings. But when people made the same ratings for a gift they had received, price was completely unrelated to enjoyment. 49 Gift givers tend to focus on how pleasurable it would be to use the gift, but overlook how easily or often the gift will be used; a husband might imagine his wife feeling like a million dollars in her diamonds, but ignore the fact that she seldom wears formal jewelry. Don’t worry if your gift isn’t usable immediately. In one experiment, researchers asked people to compare different types of gifts: One was immediately appealing, like a dozen flowers in full bloom, or, for a similar price, a gift that would be more satisfying in the long term, like two dozen buds that would bloom in a few days. 50 However, others who were asked which they’d like to receive picked the latter. A．Give people what they ask for: B．Give gifts that are actually usable. C．In it the wife discovers a diamond necklace. D．It also offers guidance for picking gifts that people will actually like. E．When people thought they would give the gift, they preferred the former. F．Gift givers think that unexpectedness adds value because it shows thoughtfulness II.Translation (共15分。第1-3小题,每题2分;第4题4分;第5题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 51．经常洗手和保持社交距离可以抑制病毒的传播。(spread) (汉译英) 52．正是因为没有抵制金钱和名誉的诱惑，那位名人违反了法律，最终她不得不为此付出惨重的代价。(price) (汉译英) 53．有些青少年热衷于在各大网络平台为喜欢的歌手投票，因此浪费了大量的时间。(enthusiastic) (汉译英) 54．一听说这款新上市的电动车打9折出售，消费者们纷纷涌入这家汽车销售店试驾。(flood) (汉译英) 55．这部纪录片旨在呼吁人们保护濒临灭绝的物种。(appeal)(汉译英) IV.Guided Writing (共25分) 56．Directions:  Write an English composition in 100-120 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是明启中学高一学生李明，在你校英语报读到如下征文启事：从小学至今，每个 人都制定过许多计划，有过许多新学期愿景，其中有些中途放弃了，有些坚持到底了。请你就“坚持还是放弃”这个话题写一篇征文，内容需包括： ●  简单描述你曾经中途放弃或坚持到底的某个计划； ●  阐述你中途放弃或坚持到底的原因以及对你的启示。 (文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第14页，共14页 试卷第13页，共14页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
