Evidence shows that teaching existed in Oxford as early as 1096, and it has been ranked as the top university in the UK by The Times for many times. The Tutorial (导师的) System In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious. In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards. Societies and Clubs There are rich after-school activities at Oxford. Students may join a variety of clubs and societies according to their own interests. The Oxford University Scientific Society aims to bring together undergraduates to discuss scientific matters. The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. The Newman Society has served as a model for religious society throughout the English-speaking world. In addition, there are a great many clubs, including Oxford University Cricket Club, Oxford University Chess Club, and so on. Dates of Term Oxford’s year is divided into three terms and three vacations. The dates for Full Term 2023-24 are set out below: Year Term From To 2023-24 Michaelmas 2023 Sunday 8 October Saturday 2 December Hilary 2024 Sunday 14 January Saturday 9 March Trinity 2024 Sunday 21 April Saturday 15 June 21. What is the biggest advantage of the tutorial system? A. It promotes students’ critical analysis. B. It provides personalized teaching. C. It offers large lectures to students. D. It uses the same manner and standards. 22. Which organization will you join if you want to be a great debater? A. The Oxford University Scientific Society. B. The Oxford Union Society. C. The Newman Society. D. Oxford University Cricket Club. 23. How long does the teaching period last within Full Term 2023-24? A. 8 weeks. B. 16weeks. C. 24weeks. D. 32 weeks. B Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until. I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 25. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To prove she lived a good and happy life. C. To avoid possible doubts over her abilities. D. To give herself an advantage in promotion. 26. How did some people help the author? A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is a must. C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 27. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength does not mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. C 3D printing, a technology that creates objects layer by layer, has revolutionized the way we make things. Recently, a group of Chinese scientists took things a step further by using this technology to create realistic replicas of human organs. Human organs have various textures (质地) with our bones being the hardest and the brains being the softest, which made it demanding to create a single material that could print different human organs previously. The research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences started by using hydrogel (水凝胶), a soft gel-like material as the main ingredient. To replicate the hardness of material like bone, the researchers added elements containing metal to the hydrogel and adjusted their ratio to create the texture of each organ. However, the structure inside human organs is also incredibly complicated with many interweaving channels. To make sure the printing results are correct, the team used light-curing (光固化) technology in the 3D printing process. A special lamp was placed under the printing machine, causing the gel to become solid right after it was printed. According to the team’s paper published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, they were able to produce organ models including the brain, lungs, and intestines (肠), which are essential for research purposes, such as testing medical equipment and demonstrating surgeries. Compared to live organs and animal models, these are also ethically acceptable since they are printed artificially. They can help researchers develop new treatments more efficiently, due to their lower relative cost, commented the Alliance of Advanced Biomedical Engineering website. However, they usually cannot be used as transplants, because human cells are likely to recognize them as “enemies” and start to fight against them. What scientists have been exploring in “printing” the organs is bioprinting: using 3D printing technology to build up various types of cells and materials layer by layer. This way, the printed product will be more acceptable to grow inside the human body. However, this method is still developing, and experts are hoping it will be used in the medical field within a decade, according to CNN. 28. What made it challenging to print human organs formerly? A. The complexity of human organs. B. The high cost of printing materials. C. The difficulty in creating various materials. D. The lack of appropriate printing technology. 29. What is a benefit of 3D organ models according to the article? A. They can fully replace animal testing. B. They can be used to test surgical tools. C. They work even better than live organs. D. They are easily made and relatively affordable. 30. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Efficient new treatments. B. The objects created layer by layer. C. Various textures of human organs. D. The organ models created with hydrogel. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Hydrogel — The Innovative Material Used for Printing Human Organs B. 3D Printing — The Most Advanced Technology in Creating Realistic Objects C. A Breakthrough — Producing Lifelike Copies of Human Organs by 3D Printing D. Bioprinting — Making Organ Models Acceptable to Grow Inside the Human Body D “Digital switching” is a term that refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it. Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning. “As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said. In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment. “I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.” The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation. 32. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory? A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom. C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion. 33. What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on? A. Its reason. B. Its consequence. C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it. 34. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion. C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning. 35. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping from tree to tree imply? A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort. B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources. C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities. D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement. 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。 People only exhibit their best moments on social media. Some celebrities are airbrushed (美化) or hide the truth of their plastic surgery. Many people photoshop their faces and bodies to look exactly how they want. ____36____ It seems that all the people are in pursuit of presenting their best images. Beyond these “best images”, some social media heavily promote eating disorder culture and unhealthy attitudes about food and weight in general. Some social media also promote over-exercising. ____37____ However, pushing yourself too hard can be harmful and contributes to some eating disorders. When someone is exercising a lot, they need to eat more to fuel their body, but some people are often eating less than they should while pushing their bodies beyond the limit. ____38____ Basically, people who struggle with eating disorders tend to think that they aren’t “sick enough”. If they encounter others with eating disorders, they constantly compare themselves. Thus, people, using social media, need to avoid posting videos or pictures with body checking, constant weighing, or calorie counting. This type of content simply isn’t helpful for anyone. So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. ____39____ As for me, I’ve learned a lot from my own struggle with an eating disorder.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor, Mr. Jackson, had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day, I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 I could be someone who was really competent.  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 余姚中学2024学年第二学期期中考试高二英语学科试卷 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does Thomson do?

C 【解析】 【原文】W: Martin, you’ve played many superheroes in the films. What is the hardest part of playing a superhero? M: Well, you have to be fit to play the role, but getting your body in shape isn’t the hardest part. It’s getting the hang of all that leaping, falling, turning and rolling that’s actually the trickiest. W: So how did you get into acting? M: I’d never considered it. I majored in literature at university but was never involved in any drama clubs. After graduating, I was employed by a comedy producer and it just went from there. W: You grew up in Canada. How was that? M: Great. For my brothers it was more about sports at weekends. I was the only one of my brothers that was interested in the cinema but I wasn’t the sort of fan with posters all over the wall. W: What would you have done if you hadn’t become an actor? M: My dad is a police officer, my mother and all my grandparents are doctors. Even so, neither of those jobs appeals to me. My older brother has an import-export company and I guess I would have a job with him. W: Thank you, Martin. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What counts most in keeping the speaker energetic?

Anyway, I want to share with you everything I know about health. Today I want to talk to you about how to feel younger. I am in my mid fortieth, yet I feel as energetic as I did when I was eighteen. So what is my secret? It’s not really a secret. It’s a combination of exercise, healthy eating and rest. Sleep is the most important aspect of all of this. I imagine many of you get around six hours of sleep a night. You might stay up late watching TV, playing video games or just browsing your phone. What I’d suggest is setting an alarm an hour before you go to bed. That alarm is to remind you to stop looking at electronic screens. They produce blue light which can prevent you from going to sleep. I would also suggest not eating or drinking anything two hours before bedtime. If you are restless, a glass of milk can help to settle you, but no tea or coffee as they will keep you awake. Lastly, start your day on a positive note with half an hour of exercise. It may not seem like a lot but over time it will dramatically improve your health. Now, if you have any questions, just type them on the screen. 第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节：(共15小题;每小题2.5分，共37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A Located in Britain, the University of Oxford is respected internationally as a teaching and research center. Evidence shows that teaching existed in Oxford as early as 1096, and it has been ranked as the top university in the UK by The Times for many times. The Tutorial (导师的) System In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious. In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards. Societies and Clubs There are rich after-school activities at Oxford. Students may join a variety of clubs and societies according to their own interests. The Oxford University Scientific Society aims to bring together undergraduates to discuss scientific matters. The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. The Newman Society has served as a model for religious society throughout the English-speaking world. In addition, there are a great many clubs, including Oxford University Cricket Club, Oxford University Chess Club, and so on. Dates of Term Oxford’s year is divided into three terms and three vacations. The dates for Full Term 2023-24 are set out below: Year Term From To 2023-24 Michaelmas 2023 Sunday 8 October Saturday 2 December Hilary 2024 Sunday 14 January Saturday 9 March Trinity 2024 Sunday 21 April Saturday 15 June 21. What is the biggest advantage of the tutorial system? A. It promotes students’ critical analysis. B. It provides personalized teaching. C. It offers large lectures to students. D. It uses the same manner and standards. 22. Which organization will you join if you want to be a great debater? A. The Oxford University Scientific Society. B. The Oxford Union Society. C. The Newman Society. D. Oxford University Cricket Club. 23. How long does the teaching period last within Full Term 2023-24? A. 8 weeks. B. 16weeks. C. 24weeks. D. 32 weeks. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了牛津大学的地位及其特点。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Tutorial (导师的) System部分中“Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. (导师制有利于培养学生的批判性分析能力，但导师制最大的优点是学生得到的个别指导。)”可知，导师制最大的优点是它提供个性化的教学。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Societies and Clubs部分中“The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. (牛津联盟协会因其辩论而享誉全球。)”可知，如果你想成为一名优秀的辩手，你会加入牛津联盟协会。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dates of Term部分表格中“Michaelmas 2023 from Sunday 8 October to Saturday 2 December; Hilary 2024 from Sunday 14 January to Saturday 9 March; Trinity 2024 from Sunday 21 April to Saturday 15 June (2023年米迦勒节从10月8日星期日至12月2日星期六；希拉里2024从1月14日星期日至3月9日星期六；三一2024从4月21日星期日到6月15日星期六)”可知，2023-24学年的教学周期是24周。故选C项。 B Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until. I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 25. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To prove she lived a good and happy life. C. To avoid possible doubts over her abilities. D. To give herself an advantage in promotion. 26. How did some people help the author? A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is a must. C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 27. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength does not mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者在母亲突发手术时仍坚持授课，害怕展现脆弱；随后开始尝试向他人袒露自己的挣扎，得到一些人的理解和支持，认识到真正的强大是勇于寻求帮助并重新站起来。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions.(就在我准备去上课之前，我接到了姐姐的电话：我母亲要做紧急手术，可能熬不过今晚了。五分钟后，我站在68名MBA学生面前讲课，没有丝毫停顿，甚至课后还留了几分钟回答问题)”可知，作者挂掉电话后，保持冷静并继续履行职责。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.(作为一个越南难民家庭的小女儿，展示我的力量似乎是向父母和兄弟姐妹们致敬的最好方式，他们的牺牲让我在美国过上了更好的生活。我不想让同事质疑我的能力，也不想让朋友和家人觉得我不够坚定)”可知，作者展示自己的力量是为了避免他人对自己能力产生怀疑。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.(他们提供有关咨询服务、法律帮助、支持团体和热线的信息。他们帮助我认识到，即使是处于领导地位的专业人士也需要帮助)”可知，一些人让作者意识到即使是处于领导地位的专业人士也需要帮助，说明他们让作者明白了寻求帮助是必须做的事情。故选B项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.(真正的坚强不是从不犹豫。而是有勇气承认自己正在挣扎，寻求帮助，并有力量重新振作起来继续前进)”可知，作者认为有勇气承认自己的挣扎、寻求帮助并重新振作才是真正的坚强，作者想传达的是坚强并不意味着掩饰挣扎。故选A项。 C 3D printing, a technology that creates objects layer by layer, has revolutionized the way we make things. Recently, a group of Chinese scientists took things a step further by using this technology to create realistic replicas of human organs. Human organs have various textures (质地) with our bones being the hardest and the brains being the softest, which made it demanding to create a single material that could print different human organs previously. The research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences started by using hydrogel (水凝胶), a soft gel-like material as the main ingredient. To replicate the hardness of material like bone, the researchers added elements containing metal to the hydrogel and adjusted their ratio to create the texture of each organ. However, the structure inside human organs is also incredibly complicated with many interweaving channels. To make sure the printing results are correct, the team used light-curing (光固化) technology in the 3D printing process. A special lamp was placed under the printing machine, causing the gel to become solid right after it was printed. According to the team’s paper published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, they were able to produce organ models including the brain, lungs, and intestines (肠), which are essential for research purposes, such as testing medical equipment and demonstrating surgeries. Compared to live organs and animal models, these are also ethically acceptable since they are printed artificially. They can help researchers develop new treatments more efficiently, due to their lower relative cost, commented the Alliance of Advanced Biomedical Engineering website. However, they usually cannot be used as transplants, because human cells are likely to recognize them as “enemies” and start to fight against them. What scientists have been exploring in “printing” the organs is bioprinting: using 3D printing technology to build up various types of cells and materials layer by layer. This way, the printed product will be more acceptable to grow inside the human body. However, this method is still developing, and experts are hoping it will be used in the medical field within a decade, according to CNN. 28. What made it challenging to print human organs formerly? A. The complexity of human organs. B. The high cost of printing materials. C. The difficulty in creating various materials. D. The lack of appropriate printing technology. 29. What is a benefit of 3D organ models according to the article? A. They can fully replace animal testing. B. They can be used to test surgical tools. C. They work even better than live organs. D. They are easily made and relatively affordable. 30. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Efficient new treatments. B. The objects created layer by layer. C. Various textures of human organs. D. The organ models created with hydrogel. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Hydrogel — The Innovative Material Used for Printing Human Organs B. 3D Printing — The Most Advanced Technology in Creating Realistic Objects C. A Breakthrough — Producing Lifelike Copies of Human Organs by 3D Printing D. Bioprinting — Making Organ Models Acceptable to Grow Inside the Human Body 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述中国科学家利用3D打印技术结合水凝胶和光固化技术，制造出逼真的人体器官模型，并介绍其应用以及局限性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Human organs have various textures (质地) with our bones being the hardest and the brains being the softest, which made it demanding to create a single material that could print different human organs previously.(人体器官有各种不同的质地，骨头是最硬的，大脑是最软的，这使得以前很难创造出一种能打印不同人体器官的单一材料。)”以及“However, the structure inside human organs is also incredibly complicated with many interweaving channels.(然而，人体器官内部的结构也极其复杂，有许多相互交织的通道。)”可知，人体器官的复杂性使得以前打印人体器官具有挑战性。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to the team’s paper published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, they were able to produce organ models including the brain, lungs, and intestines (肠), which are essential for research purposes, such as testing medical equipment and demonstrating surgeries.(根据该团队发表在《先进功能材料》杂志上的论文，他们能够制作包括大脑、肺和肠道在内的器官模型，这些模型对于研究目的至关重要，例如测试医疗设备和演示手术。)”可知，3D器官模型的一个好处是可以用来测试手术工具。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“According to the team’s paper published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, they were able to produce organ models including the brain, lungs, and intestines (肠), which are essential for research purposes, such as testing medical equipment and demonstrating surgeries.(根据该团队发表在《先进功能材料》杂志上的论文，他们能够制作包括大脑、肺和肠道在内的器官模型，这些模型对于研究目的至关重要，例如测试医疗设备和演示手术。)”可知，划线代词they指代上文提到的器官模型；结合第二段中“The research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences started by using hydrogel (水凝胶), a soft gel-like material as the main ingredient.(来自中国科学院兰州化学物理研究所的研究小组首先使用水凝胶（一种柔软的凝胶状材料）作为主要成分。)”可知，3D打印的器官模型的主要成分是水凝胶，因此“they”指代的是用水凝胶制作的器官模型。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“3D printing, a technology that creates objects layer by layer, has revolutionized the way we make things. Recently, a group of Chinese scientists took things a step further by using this technology to create realistic replicas of human organs. 3D 打印是一种逐层创建物体的技术，它彻底改变了我们制造东西的方式。最近，一群中国科学家更进一步，利用这项技术制作出了逼真的人体器官复制品。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲了3D打印技术在制作逼真的人体器官复制品方面的突破，所以C选项“突破——利用3D打印技术制造逼真的人体器官复制品”概括了本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 D “Digital switching” is a term that refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it. Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning. “As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said. In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment. “I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.” The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation. 32. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory? A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom. C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion. 33. What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on? A. Its reason. B. Its consequence. C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it. 34. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion. C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning. 35. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping from tree to tree imply? A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort. B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources. C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities. D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“数字切换”这一行为，包括其与注意力转移、无聊感的关系，以及过度依赖 “数字切换” 可能带来的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.(她提出，无聊源于注意力转移。当人们实际的投入程度与他们想要的投入程度之间存在差距时，这些转移经常会发生。当一种情况缺乏新奇感或意义时，这种不愉快的情绪就会产生。)”可知，当人们实际投入程度与想要的投入程度有差距时，注意力就会转移，由此可知，注意力转移的原因是人们未满足的欲望。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.( ‘由于数字切换涉及频繁的注意力转移，我想知道这种行为可能如何影响我们的无聊感，’塔姆说。)”以及第四段中的“On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment.(平均来说，他们跳过了八次——但当他们观看单个视频时，他们表示感到更无聊，投入度更低。参与者在另一个类似的实验中也有类似的经历。)”可知，塔姆对“数字切换”的研究重点是这种行为的后果，即人们在进行“数字切换”后感到更无聊和投入度更低。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.(无聊可以激励人们探索他们的环境，并停止在几乎没有回报的活动上投入时间。然而，如果我们过度依赖快速逃避，就像一只动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树寻找食物，却没有停留足够的时间去看一棵树是否结果。那只动物有饿死的风险。)”可知，最后一段通过把过度依赖快速逃避（“数字切换”）比喻成动物在林间跳跃寻找食物最终可能导致饿死，来警示读者这种行为可能导致的不好的结果；由此可知，最后一段的主要目的是发出警告，故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.(然而，如果我们过度依赖快速逃避，就像一只动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树寻找食物，却没有停留足够的时间去看一棵树是否结果。那只动物有饿死的风险。)”可知，将“数字切换”与动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树作比较，意味着快速逃避（“数字切换”）会阻止我们实现有意义的投入，就像动物没有在一棵树上停留足够时间，无法收获果实一样。故选D项。 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。 People only exhibit their best moments on social media. Some celebrities are airbrushed (美化) or hide the truth of their plastic surgery. Many people photoshop their faces and bodies to look exactly how they want. ____36____ It seems that all the people are in pursuit of presenting their best images. Beyond these “best images”, some social media heavily promote eating disorder culture and unhealthy attitudes about food and weight in general. Some social media also promote over-exercising. ____37____ However, pushing yourself too hard can be harmful and contributes to some eating disorders. When someone is exercising a lot, they need to eat more to fuel their body, but some people are often eating less than they should while pushing their bodies beyond the limit. ____38____ Basically, people who struggle with eating disorders tend to think that they aren’t “sick enough”. If they encounter others with eating disorders, they constantly compare themselves. Thus, people, using social media, need to avoid posting videos or pictures with body checking, constant weighing, or calorie counting. This type of content simply isn’t helpful for anyone. So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. ____39____ As for me, I’ve learned a lot from my own struggle with an eating disorder. During my treatment, the most striking thing my nutritionist said to me was, “____40____” She’s absolutely right. Self-love isn’t always realistic; self-acceptance is much better. A. You need to love your body. B. Take yourself as what you are. C. Indeed, proper exercising is healthy. D. A lot of the actual photos are straight-up fake. E. There are countless methods of changing their bodies. F. Don’t listen to strangers who don’t know you or your body. G. It’s essential to avoid posting things that could cause body image issues. 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. G 39. F 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了社交视频平台造成人们饮食失调的问题。 【36题详解】 根据上文“People only exhibit their best moments on social media. Some celebrities are airbrushed (美化) or hide the truth of their plastic surgery. Many people photoshop their faces and bodies to look exactly how they want. (人们只会在社交媒体上展示自己最美好的时刻。一些名人被美化或隐瞒他们整容的真相。许多人把自己的脸和身体PS成他们想要的样子。)”可知，前文列举了社交媒体上很多使自己变美的例子，故此空是对前文的总结，故E选项“有无数的方法可以改变他们的身体。”符合语境，故选E。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Beyond these “best images”, some social media heavily promote eating disorder culture and unhealthy attitudes about food and weight in general. Some social media also promote over-exercising. (除了这些“最佳图片”，一些社交媒体还大力宣传饮食失调文化，以及对食物和体重的不健康态度。一些社交媒体也提倡过度锻炼。)”以及后文“However, pushing yourself too hard can be harmful and contributes to some eating disorders .(然而，把自己逼迫太厉害也可能是有害的。)”可知，上文提到一些视频平台还大力宣传饮食失调文化以及对食物和体重的不健康态度。很多同样的创造者也在提倡过度锻炼，本句与后文构成转折，指出适当的锻炼是有好处的。故C选项“的确，适当的运动有益于健康。”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Basically, people who struggle with eating disorders tend to think that they aren’t “sick enough”. If they encounter others with eating disorders, they constantly compare themselves. Thus, people, using social media, need to avoid posting videos or pictures with body checking, constant weighing, or calorie counting. This type of content simply isn’t helpful for anyone. So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. (基本上，与饮食失调作斗争的人倾向于认为他们“病得还不够”。如果他们遇到其他饮食失调的人，他们会不断地比较自己。因此，人们在使用社交媒体时，需要避免发布检查身体、持续称重或计算卡路里的视频或图片。这种类型的内容对任何人都没有帮助。所以，如果你觉得你需要减肥，和你的医生讨论一下，制定一个个性化的计划。)”可知，后文提到那些与饮食失调作斗争的人往往认为自己“病得不够重”。如果他们遇到其他饮食失调的人，他们会不断地比较。因此，创作者需要避免发布带有身体检查、强迫性的称重或卡路里计算的视频或图片。故G选项“避免发布可能引起身体形象问题的东西是很重要的。”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. (所以，如果你觉得你需要减肥，和你的医生讨论一下，制定一个个性化的计划。)”可知，上文建议和医生讨论制定减肥计划，推测本句是在说明关于减肥建议的注意事项。故F选项“不要听不了解你和你身体的陌生人的话。”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Self-love isn’t always realistic; self-acceptance is much better. (自爱并不总是现实的；自我接纳要好得多。)”可知，后文提到了要自我接受，即建议接受自己本来的样子，做自己。故B选项“做你自己。”符合语境，故选B。 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。 From the age of eight, I attended a little boarding school on the Derbyshire-Staffordshire border.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor, Mr. Jackson, had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day, I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 I could be someone who was really competent.  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake for me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference! Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1]Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（运用了关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句及现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（运用了从属连词as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 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。Text one, what did Thompson do after graduating from university?

I want to talk to you about how to feel Younger. hi. I'm in my mid forties, yet I feel as energetic as I did when I was eighteen. So what is my secret? It's not really a secret. It's a combination of exercise, healthy eating and rest. Sleep is the most important aspect of all of this. I imagine many of you get around six hours of sleep at night. You might stay up late watching T, V, playing video games or just browsing your phone. What i'd suggest is setting an alarm an hour before you go to bed. That alarm is to remind you to stop looking at electronic screens. They produce blue light, which can prevent you from going to sleep. I would also suggest not eating or drinking anything two hours before bedtime. If you are restless, a glass of milk can help to settle you, but no tea or coffee as they will keep you awake. Lastly, start your day on a positive note. With half an hour of exercise, IT may not seem like a lot, but over time, IT will dramatically improve your health.
