I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth. As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder’s happiness, finding fulfillment in his craft and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A. Shortage of adequate funds. B. Discomfort in dietary habits. C. Overstatement of travel’s effects. D. Danger of petting baby animals. 5. What drove the author to go to Athens? A. Meeting a commitment. B. Exploring a unique landscape. C. Receiving further education. D. Escaping from the current life. 6. Why did the author feel moved after visiting the welder’s workshop? A. The author was touched by the welder’s love for his family. B. The author found fulfillment in the welder’s simple but delicate craft. C. The welder’s peaceful and simple life inspired him to reflect on life. D. The author felt time passed too quickly without being noticed. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D. The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary C With the completion of the Human Genome Project more than 20 years ago, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA enjoying its 70th birthday last year, you might assume that we know how life works. Think again! Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life. In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood. Ball explains that life is a system of many levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules-each with its own rules and principles, so there is no unique place to look for an answer to it. Also, How Life Works is a much more appealing title than the overused question of “What is life?”. We should be less concerned with what a thing is, and rather more focused on what a thing does. Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type, but this will run counter to the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space. But it’s an idea that is deeply rooted within our culture. Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice. We are taught that cells are machines, though no machine we have invented behaves like the simplest cell; that DNA is a code or a blueprint, though it is neither; that the brain is a computer, though no computer behaves like a brain at all. Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life. 8. What does paragraph 2 intend to state? A. The research of biology is tricky. B. Human evolution is a lengthy process. C. Genes determine the structure of living things. D. Commonly held models of life are oversimplified. 9. What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Go against. B. Refer to. C. Account for. D. Contribute to. 10. What is Ball’s attitude to using metaphors to explain life? A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indecisive. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review a book. B. To introduce genetic map. C. To honour a writer. D. To correct a misperception. D Researchers exploring the lightless landscape of the Pacific Ocean floor think they’ve observed how oxygen is produced on Earth. Until now, it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis, a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that idea and raises new questions about the origins of life itself. The research team in Scotland, believe oxygen is being produced by electrically charged material called polymetallic nodules (多金属结核), which range in size from a small particle to about the dimensions of a potato. These nodules — “effectively batteries in a rock,” Sweetman said — may use their electric charge to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called seawater electrolysis (电解). Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected samples to test aboveground, and they came up with the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the polymetallic nodules. Seawater can be split into hydrogen and oxygen with 1.5 volts (伏特) of electricity, which is the amount in an AA battery. Researchers found that some of the nodules possessed as much as 0.95 volts of electricity, and multiple nodules together produced enough voltages. Polymetallic nodules contain metals such as manganese, nickel and cobalt, which can be used to make the lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics, appliances and electric vehicles. Franz Geiger, a Northwestern University chemistry professor, said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in an area of the Pacific Ocean called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone to meet global energy demands for decades after. But mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not remove oxygen for life forms in that zone. “A few years ago, a team of marine (海洋) biologists went back to those areas mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,” Geiger said. “And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, plenty of life.” 12. Why is the discovery significant? A. It casts doubt on the existence of “dark oxygen.” B. It shakes the view on the source of oxygen. C. It shows the process of photosynthesis. D. It displays the origin of life itself. 13. What enables seawater electrolysis in the deep sea? A. Photosynthesis. B. Sunlight reaching the seafloor. C. Polymetallic nodules. D. Chemical reactions in seawater. 14. Why are the nodules in spotlights? A. To describe the mechanism in splitting seawater. B. To demonstrate how powerful AA batteries are. C. To stress the practicality of electricity generation. D. To explain why more oxygen exists near the nodules. 15. What can we infer from Geiger’s words? A. Marine ecology must be respected while mining nodules. B. The Clarion-Clipperton Zone has no life due to mining. C. Marine biologists oppose mining in the ocean. D. Mining nodules is beneficial for marine 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。 During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____16____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. ____17____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___18___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____19_____ Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____20____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A. Many factors shape your body image. B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C. However your true beauty lies within your heart. D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E. Without these tricks they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. 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。 The fear of rejection is one of my biggest fears.

This fear will never truly ___34___ as everything we do has rejection attached to it in some way. Uncertainty is ___35___, but without experiencing the scariness, we would never grow, would we? 21.

A ___37___ (universe) belief is that it can enhance blood flow and promote healing. The procedure begins with heating the air inside a cup.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 长沙市周南中学2025届高三第2次模拟考试英语试题 总分：150 时量：120分钟 出卷人：周南中学高三英语出卷三组 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth. As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder’s happiness, finding fulfillment in his craft and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A. Shortage of adequate funds. B. Discomfort in dietary habits. C. Overstatement of travel’s effects. D. Danger of petting baby animals. 5. What drove the author to go to Athens? A. Meeting a commitment. B. Exploring a unique landscape. C. Receiving further education. D. Escaping from the current life. 6. Why did the author feel moved after visiting the welder’s workshop? A. The author was touched by the welder’s love for his family. B. The author found fulfillment in the welder’s simple but delicate craft. C. The welder’s peaceful and simple life inspired him to reflect on life. D. The author felt time passed too quickly without being noticed. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D. The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者在雅典的旅行经历，探讨了旅行的本质：真正的收获不在于外在的 “transformative” 体验，而在于从平凡生活中发现生命的诗意与内心的感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand ‘transformed’ them.(我厌倦了背包客们过度夸赞在泰国抚摸小象如何“改变”了他们)”可知，作者明确表示厌倦了背包客对旅行体验的“过度夸赞”，认为这种对旅行效果的“夸大表述”让他感到不安。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise... it was time to make good on that promise.(一天，我最好的希腊朋友Vasilis提醒我我们十年前的约定：期末考试后，我要去他雅典的家乡看看。也许，是时候兑现这个承诺了)”可知，作者前往雅典的直接原因是兑现与朋友十年前的约定，即履行承诺。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder’s happiness, finding fulfillment in his craft and returning to his loving family...(我羡慕他的平静和满足，欣赏他所体现的简单纯粹。我想象着这位焊工的幸福：从自己的手艺中获得满足，然后回到充满爱的家庭中……)”可知，作者感动的核心是焊工平静、简单的生活状态使作者感动，让他反思到生活中被忽视的诗意。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段中对平凡的焊工日常的描述和最后一段“Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.(回到蒙特利尔的家，我不再简单地追求更好的事物、更好的经历和更好的人，而这些都是永远无法抓住的。我意识到真正的旅程是向内的——去欣赏生活平凡的魔力。这可比抚摸小象强多了。我回家时也许没有“变了”，但我总会想起那个焊工和他的猫)”可知，文章通过平凡的焊工日常揭示旅行的意义在于发现平凡中的非凡。D选项“The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary（平凡造就非凡）”，精准概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选D项。 C With the completion of the Human Genome Project more than 20 years ago, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA enjoying its 70th birthday last year, you might assume that we know how life works. Think again! Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life. In the excellent book How Life Works Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood. Ball explains that life is a system of many levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules-each with its own rules and principles, so there is no unique place to look for an answer to it. Also, How Life Works is a much more appealing title than the overused question of “What is life?”. We should be less concerned with what a thing is, and rather more focused on what a thing does. Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type, but this will run counter to the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space. But it’s an idea that is deeply rooted within our culture. Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice. We are taught that cells are machines, though no machine we have invented behaves like the simplest cell; that DNA is a code or a blueprint, though it is neither; that the brain is a computer, though no computer behaves like a brain at all. Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life. 8. What does paragraph 2 intend to state? A. The research of biology is tricky. B. Human evolution is a lengthy process. C. Genes determine the structure of living things. D. Commonly held models of life are oversimplified. 9. What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Go against. B. Refer to. C. Account for. D. Contribute to. 10. What is Ball’s attitude to using metaphors to explain life? A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indecisive. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review a book. B. To introduce genetic map. C. To honour a writer. D. To correct a misperception. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《生命是如何运作的》一书关于生命的理解。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“you might assume that we know how life works. Think again!(你可能会认为我们知道生命是如何运作的。再想想!)”和第二段“Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life. (进化比我们早了40亿年。然而，关于生命如何运作的标准图景的几个方面——基因组是蓝图，基因是构建生物体的指令，蛋白质是精确定制的分子机器等等——大大降低了生命的复杂性)”推知，第二段第2段想说明普遍持有的生命模型过于简化了，即我们并不真正知道生命是如何运作的。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type(定义一个生物意味着一个不可改变的理想类型)”以及后文“the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space.(达尔文认为生物是四维的，在时间和空间上都是不断变化的)”可知，定义生物意味着一种不可改变的理想类型，这违背了达尔文生物是思维的原则，即生物在时间和空间上不断变化。故划线词意思是“违背”。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice.(鲍尔指出，我们依靠隐喻来解释和探索生活的复杂性，但这还不够)”可知，鲍尔对用隐喻来解释生活的态度是不赞成的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood.(在《生命是如何运作的》一书中，菲利普·鲍尔探索了新的生物学，揭示了生命比我们所理解的要丰富得多、微妙得多)”以及最后一段“Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’ s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life.(鲍尔是一位了不起的作家，他写了大量题材极其丰富的书。这里有大量经过充分研究的信息，还有一些细节对于外行读者来说有点难以理解。但这本书是我们对生命永无止境的探索的基本介绍)”推知，文章的目的是评论一本书。故选A。 D Researchers exploring the lightless landscape of the Pacific Ocean floor think they’ve observed how oxygen is produced on Earth. Until now, it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis, a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that idea and raises new questions about the origins of life itself. The research team in Scotland, believe oxygen is being produced by electrically charged material called polymetallic nodules (多金属结核), which range in size from a small particle to about the dimensions of a potato. These nodules — “effectively batteries in a rock,” Sweetman said — may use their electric charge to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called seawater electrolysis (电解). Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected samples to test aboveground, and they came up with the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the polymetallic nodules. Seawater can be split into hydrogen and oxygen with 1.5 volts (伏特) of electricity, which is the amount in an AA battery. Researchers found that some of the nodules possessed as much as 0.95 volts of electricity, and multiple nodules together produced enough voltages. Polymetallic nodules contain metals such as manganese, nickel and cobalt, which can be used to make the lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics, appliances and electric vehicles. Franz Geiger, a Northwestern University chemistry professor, said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in an area of the Pacific Ocean called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone to meet global energy demands for decades after. But mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not remove oxygen for life forms in that zone. “A few years ago, a team of marine (海洋) biologists went back to those areas mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,” Geiger said. “And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, plenty of life.” 12. Why is the discovery significant? A. It casts doubt on the existence of “dark oxygen.” B. It shakes the view on the source of oxygen. C. It shows the process of photosynthesis. D. It displays the origin of life itself. 13. What enables seawater electrolysis in the deep sea? A. Photosynthesis. B. Sunlight reaching the seafloor. C. Polymetallic nodules. D. Chemical reactions in seawater. 14. Why are the nodules in spotlights? A. To describe the mechanism in splitting seawater. B. To demonstrate how powerful AA batteries are. C To stress the practicality of electricity generation. D. To explain why more oxygen exists near the nodules. 15. What can we infer from Geiger’s words? A. Marine ecology must be respected while mining nodules. B. The Clarion-Clipperton Zone has no life due to mining. C. Marine biologists oppose mining in the ocean. D. Mining nodules is beneficial for marine life. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了多金属结核在深海产生氧气的新发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Until now, it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis, a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that idea and raises new questions about the origins of life itself. (直到现在，人们一直认为氧气仅通过光合作用产生，而光合作用是一个需要阳光的过程。但这一发现让这种观点受到质疑，同时也引发了有关生命起源本身的新问题。)”可知，这一发现的重要意义是对氧气的来源这一观点产生了怀疑，动摇了关于氧气来源的观点。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“The research team in Scotland, believe oxygen is being produced by electrically charged material called polymetallic nodules (多金属结核), which range in size from a small particle to about the dimensions of a potato. (苏格兰的研究团队认为，氧气是由一种名为多金属结核的带电物质产生的，这些多金属结核的大小不一，小的如同微小的颗粒，大的则和土豆的尺寸差不多。)”和第四段“These nodules — “effectively batteries in a rock,” Sweetman said — may use their electric charge to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called seawater electrolysis (电解). (Sweetman说，这些结核“实际上就是岩石中的电池”，它们可能利用自身的电荷，通过一种叫做海水电解的过程，将海水分解成氢气和氧气。)”可知，深海中的海水电解是由多金属结核实现的。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段“Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected samples to test aboveground, and they came up with the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the polymetallic nodules. (研究人员在海底进行了测试，并收集了样品在地面上进行测试，他们得出了相同的结果：多金属结核附近的氧气水平增加了。)”可知，对结核的关注是为了解释为什么结核附近的氧气更多。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中““A few years ago, a team of marine (海洋) biologists went back to those areas mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,” Geiger said. “And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, plenty of life.” (Geiger说：“几年前，一组海洋生物学家回到了40年前曾被开采过的区域，发现那里基本上没有生命存在。而在距离该区域左右几百米的地方，多金属结核未被开采过，那里却有着丰富的生命。”)”可知，在被开采过的地区几乎没有生命，而在结核未被开采过的地区有很多生命，由此可推断出在开采结核时必须尊重海洋生态。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____16____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. ____17____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___18___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____19_____ Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____20____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A. Many factors shape your body image. B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右;2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head. Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
