With plenty of diverse animals and breathtaking views to take in, Kangaroo Island has it all beyond kangaroos! Wildlife on Kangaroo Island You can visit one of the wildlife parks to get up close and personal with the local wildlife. Seal Bay is one of the most popular places to visit. The sand beach of it is a popular hangout for seal observation. Wander along the beach and see these beautiful beings. Don’t get too close though as they are wild animals after all, and no one wants to get hurt. You can take photos as they swim in the sea, lie on the warm sand and rocks, or nurse their cute babies. If that doesn’t satisfy your animal passions, go to the Flinders Chase National Park. This protected area is filled with native plants and animals. Keep an eye out for the rare platypus (鸭嘴兽) which can be seen playing just under the surface of waterways in the park. Top Attractions around Kangaroo Island No trip to Kangaroo Island is complete without a visit to its most famous attractions. Instead of tourist attractions, it remains rural and underdeveloped, promising a pure natural experience where you can see farmhouses, local markets and endless countryside scenery. Visit the two impressive lighthouses sitting along the coast in Flinders Chase National Park. This coastline has a large quantity of natural wonders that are unforgettable. Within the national park lies the Admirals Arch. You will be blown away by the magnificent natural arch formed by weather and sea rough waves. The island’s most impressive natural landmark, the spot is not only great for some unique formations but home to a seal settlement among the beach rocks. 1. What should be avoided when you observe seals? A. Touching them. B. Taking pictures of them. C. Sitting on the coast. D. Walking by the beach. 2. Why is Kangaroo Island viewed as a pure nature destination? A. It is well developed. B. It is under protection. C. It continues to be poor. D. It remains untouched. 3. Where can you find natural wonders? A. The sand beach of Seal Bay. B. The tourist resorts of the island. C. The coast in Flinders Chase National Park. D. The waterways in Flinders Chase National Park. B While I was a medical student, the adaptability I learned from my parents when I was a boy was tested by the chaos of a series of events in Lebanon. Many people, including my parents, lost their life savings due to economic crises. Despite all that, I remained focused and completed my degree. Finally, it was my turn to leave home in search of a brighter future. I arrived in Utah as a postdoctoral fellow, hoping to gain research experience to back my application to US medical residency programs. However, research proved far more challenging than I expected. In medicine, I was trained to diagnose (诊断) and treat patients, with clear and often immediate outcomes. The lab was a different world — experiments took time to set up, data had to be carefully analyzed, and results often didn’t come out as expected. One set of experiments failed entirely at first — then took months of controlling one variable after another to get running. And I faced new challenges, including leading projects and guiding students. All these helped me a lot in many aspects, especially in my determination on the research path. Yet some people around me provided vital support. A postdoc taught me the importance of note taking, technicians helped me design experiments, and my advisers expressed faith in my ability to complete projects. Sharing meals and laughter with colleagues as we explored Salt Lake City created a sense of belonging that enriched both my work and life. And my memories of Lebanon and the adaptability of its people strengthened my resolve. Initially, I viewed my postdoctoral position as a steppingstone to my medical career. But now, 2 years into it, I am seriously considering becoming a physician-scientist. This transition (过渡) will bridge my past and future, enabling me to stay grounded in the values that shaped me while accepting the potential and complexities of research. I don’t know whether or when I’ll return to Lebanon, but the lessons I learned there will be with me for life. 4. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To inspire deeper thinking. B. To present an argument. C. To make a comparison. D. To tell the background. 5. What can we learn from the author’s postdoctoral career? A. Barriers could be avoided. B. Challenges fueled growth. C. Clinical work was relaxing. D. Diagnosis was stress-free. 6. How did the author become more adaptable? A. By building social bonds and recalling. B. By using self-directed learning method. C. By reflecting upon his past and present. D. By reading touching stories of Lebanon. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. Economic Crisis and Career Choices B. Lab Challenges and Clinical Practice C Medical Research Is Harder than Clinical Work D. Adaptability and Support Help Reshape Life Path C If we think about how our life in the future will be, keeping in mind the advancement in science, we will be amazed but also there is a major matter of concern, because with the amount of resource exploitation and pollution it is unavoidable that the after-effects are worse in the coming years. For today’s discussion, let’s fast forward our life to let us say fifty years from now and analyze how our life will be in our future. Let us first discuss the positive sides of the future in every field. Food which has always been our source of energy has also undergone many improvements and new inventions, from hybrids (杂交植物) to growing plants in LED lights. We may get adapted to genetically improved plants as a solution to feed people due to the increasing population. Speaking about the future of work, it will no more be humans sitting in front of machines for hours and hours to earn a living. But instead, automation will be leading the show wiping out the need for human effort. Not just in the industry world, automation, and most likely advanced robots automation and robots with advanced technology will be installed for better and faster performance. The major advantage of an increase in technology will be to the health department. It has helped to increase the birth rate. Technology in the future will be way superior to that of today, even better than other fields like food, health, connections, and work. We’re going into a future where improved battery innovation will probably empower better electric vehicles, individual flying machines and other applications. With this, we can say that with advancements made by man, there will be population growth, increasing pollution, and fewer resources available for everyone to accommodate (容纳). I would like to add the final points that, the future is unpredictable, while this may or may not, but it is always good to prepare ourselves for things to come ahead in time. 8. Which does the author agree with about the future life? A. There is a mixture of good and bad. B. We will have a very bad future then. C. All the negative sides will disappear. D. No actual improvement will be made. 9. Why should we adapt to genetically improved plants in the future? A. To make our food taste good. B. To make room for departments. C. To spare more land for industry. D. To feed the rapidly-growing people. 10. What does the underlined part “leading the show” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Setting a new trend. B. Playing a vital role. C. Taking a short cut. D. Making a good impression. 11. What is the author’s opinion of the future? A. It is dominated by automation. B. Our initiatives for it are necessary. C. It is certain to be full of problems. D. Technology will solve most problems. D Research has shown that physical appearance has a big impact on a person’s mental health, social interactions and opportunities in life. Attractive people often benefit from social biases (偏见), while those seen as less attractive may face challenges like lower confidence, social exclusion and fewer opportunities. A study done in 2022 showed how society’s views on appearance influence interactions. Participants were shown photos of people with different looks and asked to rate their intelligence, likability and trustworthiness. The results were clear: people considered more attractive received higher ratings in all categories. Furthermore, attractive people were more likely to be described as confident and capable, while less attractive individuals were often marginalized or associated with negative stereotypes (刻板印象). This bias was especially noticeable in group settings, where attractive people were more likely to be included and listened to during discussions. The emotional impact of this bias is also significant. Attractive people often have higher self-respect because they get more praises and positive feedback. However this advantage comes with pressure, as attractive individuals may feel stressed about maintaining their appearance, leading to anxiety as they age. On the other hand, less attractive people often struggle with feelings of low self-worth, which contribute to depression and anxiety. The workplace is also affected by these biases. Research shows that attractive people are more likely to be hired promoted and earn higher salaries. Employers often naturally link attractiveness to ability, confidence and leadership qualities. This creates a disadvantage for people who don’t meet traditional beauty standards, forcing them to work harder to gain recognition. To address these biases, researchers emphasize the importance of promoting inclusivity and challenging conventional social concepts. By encouraging self-acceptance and appreciating different kinds of beauty, society can create a fairer environment that values individuals for their character and abilities, not just their appearance. 12. What does the underlined word “marginalized” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Blamed. B. Disvauled. C. Included. D. Abused. 13. What impacts can appearance bias have on people? A. Employers value looks over abilities. B. Attractive people have better mental health. C. Less attractive people are less likely to succeed. D. Both attractive and less attractive face emotional challenges. 14. How can society create a fairer environment? A. By overlooking outer beauty. B. By meeting social expectations. C. By advocating enjoying diverse beauty. D. By applying universal beauty standards. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To call for a fairer and more inclusive society. B. To explain how appearance impacts individual life. C. To address the psychological effects of appearance. D. To argue that only attractive people can succeed in life. 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。 When we feel threatened or stressed, our brain produces chemicals which raise energy and sharpen focus, helping us react quickly to danger. ____16____ For example, the pressure of an upcoming performance might motivate you to practice harder. Studies also show that mild stress can improve memory by activating parts of the brain involved in learning. ____17____ Normally when we experience a stressful event, stress hormones (激素) are released for about 15 to 30 minutes.

A run through the park or a basketball game with friends can be a great distraction (分心事) from whatever is stressing you out. ____19____ Interacting with friends or family can lower stress hormone levels. Simple mindfulness practices, like deep breathing or journaling, build awareness of our emotions and keep us focused on the present.

By managing stress wisely, we can turn it from an enemy into a friend. ____20____ A. Social connection also helps. B. Small amounts of stress can even be helpful. C. It may help us grow stronger and live healthier. D. However, problems arise when stress becomes constant. E. Today, though, we initiate this response in many situations. F.

With rough hands and a heart full of love, he’d fixed countless scraped (擦伤) knees and listened to Alex’s dreams with steady patience. Now, as Alex threw his backpack onto the old sofa, Mr. George’s blue eyes followed him tiredly. “Emma’s dad made her a cool specially-made bike,” Alex complained, watching his grandfather repair his soccer socks with shaky hands. The old clay piggy bank between them held only a few coins, making soft sounds. Mr. George’s small pension (抚恤金) was just enough for basic food, and the sad look in his eyes when he said “I’ll… try” made Alex’s chest hurt. Without another word, Alex rushed out, ignoring the reused calendar stuck behind the fridge, its pages marked with red circles. One cold morning, as Alex took a shortcut along a path with classmates, he suddenly stopped. There was Mr. George, halfway inside a recycling dustbin, carefully picking up an old bicycle chain. His classmates started laughing. “Look at the waste collector!” Jake shouted. Jessica took photos with her phone. Alex felt terrible shame. His face turned red. “Stop making me feel bad!” he yelled angrily, pushing away Mr. George’s reaching hand — the same hand that had held him during his first unsteady bike rides. Weeks of cold silence followed. Every morning, Alex found his lunchbox filled with extra sandwiches and snacks, but he never ate them. Every night, soft knocking noises came from the garage, but he wouldn’t check. On his 17th birthday, Alex woke to find a shoebox wrapped in old pages. Inside lay a shiny metal bicycle bell, carved with small gears (齿轮), and a note. The note said, “Dear Alex, I’m sorry I couldn’t buy you the bike you wanted. I started collecting recyclables to save up, but I never meant to embarrass you. You’re the most precious thing in my life. Every ride needs a sound. This bell will ring when you’re ready to listen. Forgive my old-fashioned ways.” After seeing the words, Alex was reduced to tears, with a stream of warmth and regret across his body. 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。 Alex rushed outside and saw the special bike made from used metal against the fence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That very night, Mr. George’s serious coughs woke Alex. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024—2025学年度高二年级5月联考 英语试题 本试卷满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1、答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2、选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3、非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4、考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

In my view, it’s advisable to report it to your teacher. Firstly, staying up late to play with mobile phones, which is against school regulations, has a negative impact on both Xiaoming’s study and health. Secondly, you’ve already shown your care by trying hard to persuade him. Since it doesn’t work, it is a good choice for you to turn to your teacher for help. Teachers are experienced and can take effective steps to guide him back on track. I hope my suggestions will be helpful to you. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 Alex rushed outside and saw the special bike made from used metal against the fence. The handlebars shone brightly, showing how carefully his grandfather had polished them. Eager to thank Mr. George, he turned towards the house. But through the kitchen window, he froze. His grandfather sat at the table, one hand bandaged, struggling to take bites of a sandwich, with a bottle of painkillers nearby. Alex’s throat tightened. All this time, his anger had blinded him to the pain his grandfather endured — all for him. He knew he had to make things right. That very night, Mr. George’s serious coughs woke Alex. The old man lay pale and weak in bed. Without a moment’s delay, Alex helped him onto the bike. As they rode to the hospital, the bicycle bell rang softly, like a sweet song. At the hospital and in the days that followed, Alex took good care of his grandfather, cooking meals and chatting with him. The scrap-metal bike, once a source of embarrassment, now stood as a symbol of their love — proving that the most precious gifts are those born from sacrifice and heart. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
