However, for many students, the cost of US education can be a major concern. Here’s how to find affordable US colleges and universities and some strategies to reduce costs. Research tuition rates at public universities One of the most cost-effective ways to study in the US is to look at public universities. Public institutions, particularly state universities, often have lower tuition rates compared to private colleges. When exploring options, compare tuition rates on university websites, focusing on those known for affordability, such as the State University of New York (SUNY) system or the California State University (CSU) system. Consider community colleges and the 2+2 program In this approach, students spend the first two years at a community college and then transfer to a four-year university to complete their bachelor’s degree. Community colleges have significantly lower tuition fees, often less than half of what a four-year university charge. By attending a community college first, students can save thousands of dollars. Look for scholarships for international students Many US colleges offer scholarships specifically for international students. These scholarships can cover part of tuition, sometimes even full tuition. When researching schools, check their “International Student Financial Aid” or “Scholarships” sections. Applying for these can help reduce financial stress, but be mindful of deadlines and requirements as they vary widely. Choose schools in regions with lower living costs The cost of living can vary significantly between US cities and regions. For instance, living expenses are generally lower in the Midwest and the Southern US compared to coastal areas like California and New York. When looking at affordable education, consider schools in states like Ohio, Kansas and Alabama, where rent, food and transportation costs are often lower. 21. Who is the passage intended for? A. Colleges with overseas students. B. Students who consider studying abroad. C. Parents who have elementary school students. D. Teachers who guide students career planning. 22. What should the international students be aware of? A. The tuition rates of private colleges. B. The locations of community colleges C. The variety of living conditions in the USA. D. The differences between colleges in scholarship application. 23. What makes the state, Ohio, a preference for studying in the USA? A. Its good weather. B. Its living costs. C. Its long history. D. Its delicious food. B I was at the grocery shop picking up last-minute items for Easter dinner when I spotted from the corner of my eye the most wonderful flower I had ever seen. It was, as I later learned, a peony(牡丹). “They’re so beautiful, aren’t they?” said the cashier. “Yes,” I replied, pleased that I was going to buy myself flowers. I’d never done this before. On the way home, I wondered why I had never really been drawn to any flowers before. After all, I’d been on this earth for over half a century. Growing up in England, my immigrant(移民)family viewed flowers as unnecessary since survival was our priority. Dad worked on the railways, and Mom, before her illness, worked in a factory. Our small garden was filled with vegetables instead of flowers, as Mom and Dad often said, “These will keep us alive if we can’t get them from the shop.” We also built an underground oven, where Mom and Dad would make flatbread the way they had made it back home. The smell of this flatbread comforted us and make us take root in England. When Mother’s Day came, Mom would say, “Why waste money on flowers? They’ll just die. Buy shoes or coats instead.” So, we kids made food for her at home. My mother passed away years ago after a long illness. If she were still alive today, she’d probably shake her head at me for buying flowers. But still, I wish I’d had the chance to show her this beautiful flower and buy it for her on Mother’s Day. “Look, Mom,” I say aloud. “I bought myself a peony. Thank you for giving up your home and life to come to this country so that I could have opportunities that you never had, and so I could give myself these unnecessary but beautiful flowers.” 24. Why did the author buy herself flowers on earth? A. She bought flowers for fun. B. She wanted to celebrate Easter. C. She wanted to please the cashier. D. She decided to treat herself with flowers. 25. What did the vegetable garden mean to the author’s parents? A. Beauty. B. Survival. C. Hometown. D. Gift. 26. How did the author’s mother feel about buying flowers for Mother’s Day? A. It was unnecessary. B. It was uncommon. C. It was beyond imagination. D. It was out of fashion. 27. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Life is full of regrets. B. She should have bought flowers earlier. C. What her mother did deserves her appreciation. D. Opportunities are gone and never come back. C Many think that language is what sets humans apart from other animals, and believe that to think, we need language. British philosopher Bertrand Russell even reported in 1948 that no intelligent thinking can take place without language. However, a recent Nature study suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities (实体), working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship, using two research methods. First, they studied people with global aphasia (全失语症), who have lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left side of their brain. However, they can still finish complex tasks. “You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal (非语言的), they can succeed,” Evelina Fedorenko, one of the study’s authors at the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told ZME Science. The researchers also used brain-imaging (脑成像) tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers performing non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. They found that the brain’s language areas were mostly inactive during-such activities. In other words, we generally need language to express our thoughts but we can still think without words. So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans develop it? Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Among most of the things that you learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complex information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. Although language does not give rise to thoughts, past research shows that how we speak can heavily influence how we think. For example, the English phrase “he fired the gun” is usually understood as “the gun went off” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to focus on the person responsible for an accident than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today. 28. What does the underlined word “distinct” mean? A. Different. B. Dependent. C. Exact. D. Similar. 29. What can be learnt about the people with “global aphasia”? A. They have lost all their ability to talk. B. They behave inactively during physical activities. C. They can carry out social reasoning tests following nonverbal directions. D. They can perform better in solving math problems than healthy people. 30. Why is language needed according to the text? A. It makes human thinking possible. B. It benefits people to gain experience. C. It serves as the only tool for human learning. D. It enables information to be understood by humans. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Language shapes the way we think. B. Humans can think independently of language. C. Language and thought are completely related. D. Humans can live without thinking and language. D No matter how bright and clear big cities can be, the birds living there might be getting less colorful. A recent study published in the journal Landscape and Planning looked at 547 bird species in China and found that city birds have darker colors than village birds. Urbanization may have reduced the brightness of their colors. For city birds that look dirty, even if we gave them a good clean, they still wouldn’t be as bright as village birds. This is because pollution, especially heavy metals, can interact with melanin (黑色素)in birds bodies. Melanin is the pigment (色素) that makes feathers black, brown and grey. Studies showed that melanin can mix with heavy metals like lead in the environment and produce toxic compounds (有毒化合物). These toxic compounds are more likely to be stored in the feathers of birds. Surprisingly, this can give them a survival advantage. Kevin McGraw, a biologist at Michigan State University in the US, told The New York Times, “The more melanin you make, the better able you are to separate these harmful compounds in feathers.” For storing the harmful compounds in their feathers, these birds prevent them from entering their bodies, where they could cause more damage. This is why there are more darker birds in city areas. Furthermore, city pollution causes city trees to store fewer carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)compared to village plants. Carotenoids are natural pigments that make red peppers red and carrots orange. Just as eating carotenoid-rich carrots can give human skin a little dark, eating carotenoid-rich worms that feed on tree leaves makes birds’ feathers yellow, orange and red. “Birds cannot produce carotenoids,” German bird expert Kaspar Delhey told The New York Times. “They need to get them from their food.” Without a carotenoid-rich diet, the color of their feathers won’t change. Carotenoids also help birds stay healthy by supporting their immune (免疫的)systems. Therefore, birds that don’t get enough of these pigments might not be as healthy. The dull colors of city birds are not just about looks; they are a warning sign. “It means that the habitat might be of lower quality,” Delhey said. 32. What do we learn about melanin? A. It is a heavy metal. B. It does damage to birds. C. It makes birds appear darker. D. It is a product of city pollution on birds. 33 How do the toxic compounds affect the city birds? A. They are friendly to birds’ feathers. B. They have an advantage over melanin. C. They can’t be prevented in the city bird bodies. D. They are responsible for more darker birds in cities. 34. What is the correct description of carotenoids? A. Carotenoids are produced in bird bodies. B. Carotenoids can serve as immune medicine. C. Carotenoids store in trees is reduced for city pollution. D. Carotenoid-rich carrots are necessary food for birds with colorful feathers. 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To disclose that city birds have worse living conditions. B. To explain the reason why birds lack healthy food supplies. C. To express that city birds depend more on toxic compounds. D To stress that city birds have gained advantages over village birds. 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。 The movie I Robot, was released in 2004, the setting of which is in a world populated by highly intelligent humanlike robots. ____36____.

Whenever a task was given to her by the teachers, she always wanted to do it perfectly. This sense of responsibility made her a favorite among teachers, but it also placed heavy pressure on her shoulders. She feared making mistakes and would often stress over even the smallest of errors. One day, a painting competition was announced at the school. Sara eagerly decided to participate in the competition. Painting had always been one of her favorite hobbies, and she loved the idea of competing. The winner would receive a prize, and while that sounded great, Sara was glad to have the chance to prove herself. However, this time painting didn’t feel fun. Each time she picked up her brush, a heavy feeling of anxiety clouded her thoughts. The fear of not being the best in the competition controlled her. As days passed, it became increasingly difficult for Sara to concentrate. While other participants were making progress, Sara was caught in her thoughts. She couldn’t even decide what to paint. Images of her competitors confidently working on their pieces filled her with a sense of inability. With only two days left before the competition, Sara’s anxiety grew worse. She spent the entire day with negative thoughts, feeling unworthy and untalented. At school, Sara saw her classmates close to finishing their artwork, their laughter and excitement going sharply against her internal struggles. The pressure to perform perfectly had turned into an intense fear that kept her from even picking up a brush. Sara began to doubt her abilities, believing that she couldn’t finish anything well. She felt lost in a cycle of anxiety, and the joy she once found in painting seemed to fade further away. With each passing moment, she questioned whether she should even participate at all, fearing that failure would only prove her worst beliefs in herself. Paragraph 1: Seeing Sara’s trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful glass cup. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Looking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting on her teacher’s words, Sara decided to paint without worrying about perfection. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年度下学期期中考试高一试题 英语 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 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 the man intend to do?

These exciting trips give you the chance to enjoy a really unusual view of the countryside. For a successful flight, we need light winds. It’s also important that there’s no rain and we have a clear sky. If there are too many clouds, we’ll cancel the flight and your trip will be arranged for another date. The temperature in the air is similar to that on the ground, so you should wear causal outdoor clothes. Also, you should remember to wear boots. This is because you may need to walk through wet and muddy fields at the end of the trip. All our flights take place in the evening and departure time depends on when the sun sets. The season starts in March, and in May, for example, flights would be at 6:00 pm. The last flights are in October, and after that we close for the winter. If you would like to book a flight or receive more information about hot air balloons, just feel free to call us. It will be a trip you will never forget. 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，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Making College Affordable Studying in the United States can be a transformative experience. However, for many students, the cost of US education can be a major concern. Here’s how to find affordable US colleges and universities and some strategies to reduce costs. Research tuition rates at public universities One of the most cost-effective ways to study in the US is to look at public universities. Public institutions, particularly state universities, often have lower tuition rates compared to private colleges. When exploring options, compare tuition rates on university websites, focusing on those known for affordability, such as the State University of New York (SUNY) system or the California State University (CSU) system. Consider community colleges and the 2+2 program In this approach, students spend the first two years at a community college and then transfer to a four-year university to complete their bachelor’s degree. Community colleges have significantly lower tuition fees, often less than half of what a four-year university charge. By attending a community college first, students can save thousands of dollars. Look for scholarships for international students Many US colleges offer scholarships specifically for international students. These scholarships can cover part of tuition, sometimes even full tuition. When researching schools, check their “International Student Financial Aid” or “Scholarships” sections. Applying for these can help reduce financial stress, but be mindful of deadlines and requirements as they vary widely. Choose schools in regions with lower living costs The cost of living can vary significantly between US cities and regions. For instance, living expenses are generally lower in the Midwest and the Southern US compared to coastal areas like California and New York. When looking at affordable education, consider schools in states like Ohio, Kansas and Alabama, where rent, food and transportation costs are often lower. 21. Who is the passage intended for? A. Colleges with overseas students. B. Students who consider studying abroad. C. Parents who have elementary school students. D. Teachers who guide students career planning. 22. What should the international students be aware of? A. The tuition rates of private colleges. B. The locations of community colleges C. The variety of living conditions in the USA. D. The differences between colleges in scholarship application. 23. What makes the state, Ohio, a preference for studying in the USA? A. Its good weather. B. Its living costs. C. Its long history. D. Its delicious food. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章为那些考虑在美国留学的学生提供了关于如何选择经济实惠的大学和减少学习成本的建议。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Studying in the United States can be a transformative experience.

Here’s how to find affordable US colleges and universities and some strategies to reduce costs.(在美国学习可以是一次变革性的经历。然而，对于许多学生来说，美国教育的成本是一个主要的担忧。这里是如何找到经济实惠的美国大学和一些减少成本的策略)”可知，这篇文章是为那些考虑在美国留学的学生准备的。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Look for scholarships for international students (为国际学生寻找奖学金)”部分的句子“Applying for these can help reduce financial stress, but be mindful of deadlines and requirements as they vary widely.(申请这些奖学金可以帮助减轻经济压力，但要注意截止日期和要求，因为它们变化很大)”可知，国际学生应该注意奖学金申请的截止日期和要求。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“For instance, living expenses are generally lower in the Midwest and the Southern US compared to coastal areas like California and New York. When looking at affordable education, consider schools in states like Ohio, Kansas and Alabama, where rent, food and transportation costs are often lower.(例如，与加利福尼亚和纽约等沿海地区相比，美国中西部和南部的生活费用通常较低。在寻找经济实惠的教育时，考虑俄亥俄州、堪萨斯州和阿拉巴马州等州的学校，那里的房租、食物和交通费用通常较低)”可知，俄亥俄州的生活成本较低，这使得它成为在美国学习的一个好选择。故选B项。 B I was at the grocery shop picking up last-minute items for Easter dinner when I spotted from the corner of my eye the most wonderful flower I had ever seen. It was, as I later learned, a peony(牡丹). “They’re so beautiful, aren’t they?” said the cashier. “Yes,” I replied, pleased that I was going to buy myself flowers. I’d never done this before. On the way home, I wondered why I had never really been drawn to any flowers before. After all, I’d been on this earth for over half a century. Growing up in England, my immigrant(移民)family viewed flowers as unnecessary since survival was our priority. Dad worked on the railways, and Mom, before her illness, worked in a factory. Our small garden was filled with vegetables instead of flowers, as Mom and Dad often said, “These will keep us alive if we can’t get them from the shop.” We also built an underground oven, where Mom and Dad would make flatbread the way they had made it back home. The smell of this flatbread comforted us and make us take root in England. When Mother’s Day came, Mom would say, “Why waste money on flowers? They’ll just die. Buy shoes or coats instead.” So, we kids made food for her at home. My mother passed away years ago after a long illness. If she were still alive today, she’d probably shake her head at me for buying flowers. But still, I wish I’d had the chance to show her this beautiful flower and buy it for her on Mother’s Day. “Look, Mom,” I say aloud. “I bought myself a peony. Thank you for giving up your home and life to come to this country so that I could have opportunities that you never had, and so I could give myself these unnecessary but beautiful flowers.” 24. Why did the author buy herself flowers on earth? A. She bought flowers for fun. B. She wanted to celebrate Easter. C. She wanted to please the cashier. D. She decided to treat herself with flowers. 25. What did the vegetable garden mean to the author’s parents? A. Beauty. B. Survival. C. Hometown. D. Gift. 26. How did the author’s mother feel about buying flowers for Mother’s Day? A. It was unnecessary. B. It was uncommon. C. It was beyond imagination. D. It was out of fashion. 27. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Life is full of regrets. B. She should have bought flowers earlier. C. What her mother did deserves her appreciation. D. Opportunities are gone and never come back. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在五十岁买了人生第一束鲜花而回馈自己时，回忆作为移民第一代的母亲，舍弃故乡的一切，含辛茹苦在英国养大孩子，母亲从未给自己买过鲜花，甚至过母亲节时，也拒绝买花庆祝，一生勤俭直至病故，作者在买到花束后很感念母亲的牺牲付出。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“On the way home, I wondered why I had never really been drawn to any flowers before. After all, I’d been on this earth for over half a century.(在回家的路上，我想知道为什么我以前从未真正被任何花所吸引。毕竟，我已经在这个世界上生活了半个多世纪。)”和最后一段的“Thank you for giving up your home and life to come to this country so that I could have opportunities that you never had, and so I could give myself these unnecessary but beautiful flowers.(谢谢你放弃你的家和生活来到这个国家，这样我就可以有你从未有过的机会，这样我就能给自己这些不必要但美丽的花。)”可知，作者买花的真实原因是补偿自己年轻时错失的善待自己的机会。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Growing up in England, my immigrant family viewed flowers as unnecessary since survival was our priority.(我在英国长大，我的移民家庭认为花是不必要的，因为生存是我们的首要任务。)”及“Our small garden was filled with vegetables instead of flowers, as Mom and Dad often said, “These will keep us alive if we can’t get them from the shop.”(我们的小花园里种满了蔬菜而不是鲜花，就像爸爸妈妈常说的那样：“如果我们不能从商店里买到这些花，这些就够我们活下去了。”)”可知，菜园对作者的父母来说意味着生存。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“When Mother’s Day came, Mom would say, “Why waste money on flowers? They’ll just die. Buy shoes or coats instead.(母亲节到来时，妈妈会说：“为什么要浪费钱买花？它们会死的。买鞋子或外套吧。)”可知，母亲认为买花过节是没必要的浪费。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Thank you for giving up your home and life to come to this country so that I could have opportunities that you never had, and so I could give myself these unnecessary but beautiful flowers.(谢谢你放弃你的家和生活来到这个国家，这样我就可以有你从未有过的机会，这样我就能给自己这些不必要但美丽的花。)”可知，作者十分感激母亲所做的牺牲为儿女换来别样的人生。故选C。 C Many think that language is what sets humans apart from other animals, and believe that to think, we need language. British philosopher Bertrand Russell even reported in 1948 that no intelligent thinking can take place without language. However, a recent Nature study suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities (实体), working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship, using two research methods. First, they studied people with global aphasia (全失语症), who have lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left side of their brain. However, they can still finish complex tasks. “You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal (非语言的), they can succeed,” Evelina Fedorenko, one of the study’s authors at the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told ZME Science. The researchers also used brain-imaging (脑成像) tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers performing non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. They found that the brain’s language areas were mostly inactive during-such activities. In other words, we generally need language to express our thoughts but we can still think without words. So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans develop it? Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Among most of the things that you learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complex information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. Although language does not give rise to thoughts, past research shows that how we speak can heavily influence how we think. For example, the English phrase “he fired the gun” is usually understood as “the gun went off” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to focus on the person responsible for an accident than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today. 28. What does the underlined word “distinct” mean? A. Different. B. Dependent. C. Exact. D. Similar. 29. What can be learnt about the people with “global aphasia”? A. They have lost all their ability to talk. B. They behave inactively during physical activities. C. They can carry out social reasoning tests following nonverbal directions. D. They can perform better in solving math problems than healthy people. 30. Why is language needed according to the text? A. It makes human thinking possible. B. It benefits people to gain experience. C. It serves as the only tool for human learning. D. It enables information to be understood by humans. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Language shapes the way we think. B. Humans can think independently of language. C. Language and thought are completely related. D. Humans can live without thinking and language. 【答案】28 A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了语言和思维的关系，指出两者是独立的，语言并非思考的必要条件，但语言在交流和影响思维方式上起重要的作用。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“It found that language and thought are two distinct entities (实体), working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. (研究发现，语言和思维是两个distinct实体，在大脑的不同部位工作。简而言之，它们“比我们想象的要独立得多”，ZME Science写道)”可知，语言和思维是互相独立的，也就是二者并不相同。由此可知，划线词distinct意为“不同的”。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal (非语言的), they can succeed. (你可以要求患有全失语症的人解决数学问题或进行社会推理测试，只要指导是非语言的，他们就能成功)”可知，患有全失语症的人可以在非语言指导下完成社会推理测试。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. By being able to share complex information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. (Fedorenko说，语言主要是一种交流工具。通过语言分享复杂信息，人类获得了进化优势)”可推知，语言的主要作用是帮助人们理解和交流信息。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It found that language and thought are two distinct entities(实体), working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. (研究发现，语言和思维是两个不同地的实体，在大脑的不同部位工作。简而言之，它们“比我们想象的要独立得多”，ZME Science写道)”可知，文章主要探讨了语言和思维之间的关系，特别是语言是否是人类进行思考的必要条件。由此可知，本文的主要讲述了人类可以在没有语言的情况下独立思考。故选B项。 D No matter how bright and clear big cities can be, the birds living there might be getting less colorful. A recent study published in the journal Landscape and Planning looked at 547 bird species in China and found that city birds have darker colors than village birds. Urbanization may have reduced the brightness of their colors. For city birds that look dirty, even if we gave them a good clean, they still wouldn’t be as bright as village birds. This is because pollution, especially heavy metals, can interact with melanin (黑色素)in birds bodies. Melanin is the pigment (色素) that makes feathers black, brown and grey. Studies showed that melanin can mix with heavy metals like lead in the environment and produce toxic compounds (有毒化合物). These toxic compounds are more likely to be stored in the feathers of birds. Surprisingly, this can give them a survival advantage. Kevin McGraw, a biologist at Michigan State University in the US, told The New York Times, “The more melanin you make, the better able you are to separate these harmful compounds in feathers.” For storing the harmful compounds in their feathers, these birds prevent them from entering their bodies, where they could cause more damage. This is why there are more darker birds in city areas. Furthermore, city pollution causes city trees to store fewer carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)compared to village plants. Carotenoids are natural pigments that make red peppers red and carrots orange. Just as eating carotenoid-rich carrots can give human skin a little dark, eating carotenoid-rich worms that feed on tree leaves makes birds’ feathers yellow, orange and red. “Birds cannot produce carotenoids,” German bird expert Kaspar Delhey told The New York Times. “They need to get them from their food.” Without a carotenoid-rich diet, the color of their feathers won’t change. Carotenoids also help birds stay healthy by supporting their immune (免疫的)systems. Therefore, birds that don’t get enough of these pigments might not be as healthy. The dull colors of city birds are not just about looks; they are a warning sign. “It means that the habitat might be of lower quality,” Delhey said. 32. What do we learn about melanin? A. It is a heavy metal. B. It does damage to birds. C. It makes birds appear darker. D. It is a product of city pollution on birds. 33. How do the toxic compounds affect the city birds? A. They are friendly to birds’ feathers. B. They have an advantage over melanin. C. They can’t be prevented in the city bird bodies. D. They are responsible for more darker birds in cities. 34. What is the correct description of carotenoids? A. Carotenoids are produced in bird bodies. B. Carotenoids can serve as immune medicine. C. Carotenoids store in trees is reduced for city pollution. D. Carotenoid-rich carrots are necessary food for birds with colorful feathers. 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To disclose that city birds have worse living conditions. B. To explain the reason why birds lack healthy food supplies. C. To express that city birds depend more on toxic compounds. D. To stress that city birds have gained advantages over village birds. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是城市鸟类羽毛颜色变暗的原因及其反映的城市生态环境问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Melanin is the pigment (色素) that makes feathers black, brown and grey.(黑色素是使羽毛呈现黑色、棕色和灰色的色素。)”可知，黑色素会让鸟类看起来颜色更深。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Studies showed that melanin can mix with heavy metals like lead in the environment and produce toxic compounds (有毒化合物). These toxic compounds are more likely to be stored in the feathers of birds.(研究表明，黑色素可以与环境中的铅等重金属混合，产生有毒化合物。这些有毒化合物更有可能储存在鸟类的羽毛中。)”以及“For storing the harmful compounds in their feathers, these birds prevent them from entering their bodies, where they could cause more damage. This is why there are more darker birds in city areas.(通过将有害化合物储存在羽毛中，这些鸟类防止它们进入体内，否则它们会造成更多伤害。这就是城市地区有更多颜色较深的鸟类的原因。)”可知，有毒化合物导致城市中颜色较深的鸟类增多。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Furthermore, city pollution causes city trees to store fewer carotenoids (类胡萝卜素) compared to village plants.(此外，城市污染导致城市树木储存的类胡萝卜素比乡村植物少。)”可知，由于城市污染，树木中类胡萝卜素的储存量减少。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“No matter how bright and clear big cities can be, the birds living there might be getting less colorful.(无论大城市多么明亮清澈，那里的鸟类可能正在变得不那么色彩鲜艳。)”及最后一段中的“The dull colors of city birds are not just about looks; they are a warning sign. “It means that the habitat might be of lower quality,” Delhey said.(城市鸟类暗淡的颜色不仅仅与外观有关；它们是一种警告信号。“这意味着栖息地的质量可能较低，”德尔海说。)”可知，文章目的是为了说明鸟类在城市中由于污染的影响导致鸟毛的颜色越来越深，即，对于在城市生存的鸟类，他们的生活环境越来越恶劣。故选A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。 The movie I, Robot, was released in 2004, the setting of which is in a world populated by highly intelligent humanlike robots. ____36____.

Whenever a task was given to her by the teachers, she always wanted to do it perfectly. This sense of responsibility made her a favorite among teachers, but it also placed heavy pressure on her shoulders. She feared making mistakes and would often stress over even the smallest of errors. One day, a painting competition was announced at the school. Sara eagerly decided to participate in the competition. Painting had always been one of her favorite hobbies, and she loved the idea of competing. The winner would receive a prize, and while that sounded great, Sara was glad to have the chance to prove herself. However, this time painting didn’t feel fun. Each time she picked up her brush, a heavy feeling of anxiety clouded her thoughts. The fear of not being the best in the competition controlled her. As days passed, it became increasingly difficult for Sara to concentrate. While other participants were making progress, Sara was caught in her thoughts. She couldn’t even decide what to paint. Images of her competitors confidently working on their pieces filled her with a sense of inability. With only two days left before the competition, Sara’s anxiety grew worse. She spent the entire day with negative thoughts, feeling unworthy and untalented. At school, Sara saw her classmates close to finishing their artwork, their laughter and excitement going sharply against her internal struggles. The pressure to perform perfectly had turned into an intense fear that kept her from even picking up a brush. Sara began to doubt her abilities, believing that she couldn’t finish anything well. She felt lost in a cycle of anxiety, and the joy she once found in painting seemed to fade further away. With each passing moment, she questioned whether she should even participate at all, fearing that failure would only prove her worst beliefs in herself. Paragraph 1: Seeing Sara’s trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful glass cup. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Looking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting on her teacher’s words, Sara decided to paint without worrying about perfection. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Seeing Sara’s trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful glass cup. Sara had never seen such a beautiful glass piece before. But suddenly, the cup slipped from her teacher’s hands and broke into pieces. A wave of sadness spread over her face. Her teacher looked at her face and said softly, “Beauty lies in imperfection and welcoming imperfection is an act of self-love and acceptance.” Then he began repairing the cup with golden glue, making it even more beautiful than before and gave the cup to Sara as a gift. Paragraph 2: Looking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting on her teacher’s words, Sara decided to paint without worrying about perfection. As Sara let go of her anxiety, her painting became more beautiful. On the competition day, Sara accidentally spilled water on the painting before submitting it, but instead of panicking, she calmly added raindrops to her artwork, making it even better than before. When the results were announced, Sara won the second prize. She was happy about the result but, more importantly, she learned a valuable lesson: Being perfect all the time isn’t necessary, because beauty lies in imperfection, and accepting small faults makes us human. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Sara参加绘画比赛为线索展开，讲述了一个追求完美的高中生如何在老师的引导下学会接纳不完美，并重新找回创作乐趣的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到萨拉的困扰，老师把她叫到身边，向她展示了一个精美的玻璃杯。”可知，第一段需描写杯子摔碎后老师用金缮修复的过程，重点突出"不完美之美"的启示。 ②由第二段首句内容“凝视着精心修复的杯子，回味着老师的教诲，萨拉决定放下对完美的执念，尽情作画。”可知，第二段需呈现她如何将感悟转化为行动，并在比赛中意外创造新意境。 2. 续写线索：参加绘画比赛——感到焦虑，无法专注——老师展示完美杯子——意外破碎——金缮修复——领悟哲理——放松创作——意外失误——即兴改良——获奖感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①修复：repair/mend/fix ②自由创作：paint freely/let the brush flow/create without restraint ③提交：submit/hand in ④交给：give/hand over 哲理类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②自我接纳：self-acceptance/embrace oneself ③开心：happy/delighted ④惊慌：panic/terror 【点睛】【高级句型1】Then he began repairing the cup with golden glue, making it even more beautiful than before and gave the cup to Sara as a gift. (运用了现在分词作结果状语) 【高级句型2】Being perfect all the time isn’t necessary, because beauty lies in imperfection, and accepting small faults makes us human. (运用了动名词作主语，because引导的原因状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
