However, I had never observed butterflies at high altitudes in the trans-Himalayan habitat. So, in 2015, I decided to visit Ladakh to search for butterflies. My first “butterflying” visit to Ladakh was in June 2016, then in July of the same year, followed by another visit in August 2018. For these visits, I charted out a two-week schedule on each occasion. I covered some of the well-known locations. Each habitat we explored had its unique mix of butterfly species. By trickling streams and wet areas, we found Small and Dusky Green Underwings, along with numerous Meadow blues, all part of the Blues family. In alpine meadows（高山草甸）, countless white and yellow butterflies from the Yellows and Whites family fluttered (翩翩飞舞 ) about. More than once, I’d spot a white or yellow butterfly flying across the meadow, and chase after it, only to find myself out of breath in Ladakh’s thin air while the butterfly gracefully flew away. Once, I chased a Butler’s Dwarf butterfly for 15 minutes, managing only a few photos before it disappeared. Another time, I spotted dozens of Clouded Yellow butterflies in an alpine meadow. I spent half an hour chasing them, only for them to fly away each time. Over the course of multiple visits to Ladakh for butterfly observation, I’ve had the remarkable opportunity to photograph more than 40 “lifers” — species I encountered for the very first time. These discoveries have added valuable knowledge to the field and led to the publication of two research papers in the “Journal of Threatened Taxa.” In addition to this, І partnered with the Snow Leopard Conservancy to create a small booklet showcasing 50 butterfly species found in Ladakh, with the goal of raising awareness and promoting butterfly watching as a unique and sustainable activity. This initiative aims to inspire both locals and tourists to explore the rich biodiversity of the region, while fostering a greater appreciation for Ladakh’s delicate ecosystems. 高一英语试卷 第 4 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） 24．Why did the author decide to visit Ladakh? A．To survey butterflies at high altitudes. B．To search for butterfly habitats. C．To carry out a travel schedule. D．To recommend tourist attractions. 25．Which best describes the author’s chasing butterflies? A．Challenging and fascinating. B．Scary and exciting. C．Embarrassing and amusing. D．Dangerous and interesting. 26．What is the author’s purpose of making a booklet? A．To document insect species in India. B．To encourage eco-aware exploration. C．To promote local tourism in Ladakh. D．To compare butterfly research findings. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Uniqueness of Butterflies B．A Fascinating Journey C．Biodiversity in Ladakh D．A Fluttering Discovery C The sounds of rain, birdsong, or the wind rustling leaves in the forest are all part of the music of nature. These sounds can fire emotions and promote calm. That’s why tracks of nature have been used in so many songs like “Blackbird” by the Beatles. Now, Sounds Right, an initiative from the Museum for the United Nations is cooperating with Spotify and other streaming platforms to recognize nature as a musician. This means that nature can be paid royalties (版税) that can be made use of when it comes to environmental causes and conservation. This new initiative allows artists who use environmental sounds to credit “Nature” as a featured artist and share the royalties. “It’s a way of saying to artists, We all use sounds like seagulls, waves and wind. Why don’t we pay nature a royalty?” said Brian Eno, who remixed his collaboration Get Real with David Bowie. “Hopefully, it’ll be a river, or a torrent, or a flood of royalties — and then what we do is distribute that among groups of people who are working on projects to help us deal with the future.” Other artists who contributed songs for the project include Tom Walker and Ellie Goulding, MO, and alternative music star Aurora who is releasing a new song, “A Soul With No King”, that includes the sounds of a forest in her native Norway. “I feel like music that has the ability to make contact with nature seem appealing again,” she said, “because, somewhere deep inside our soul, we are really yearning for it.” While there has been a long debate on whether streaming contributes to harmful emissions, giving nature credit and royalties can turn streaming to the right side of climate action. This project is just one of a growing movement to give nature legal rights and could restore the weak relationship between humans and the environment. 28．Why does the author mention the Beatles in the first paragraph? A．To prove the key role of nature in musician. B．To show the influence of music on nature. C．To emphasize the importance of musicians. 高一英语试卷 第 5 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） D．To tell the inspiration for the new initiative. 29．What will the royalties for nature be used for? A．Human health. B．Musical activities. C．Environmental protection. D．The entertainment industry. 30．What does the underlined phrase “yearning for” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Recording. B．Desiring. C．Singing. D．Interpreting. 31．What does the author indicate at last? A．The new initiative still deserves praising. B．Streaming does great harm to the environment. C．More projects are needed to fight climate change. D．Humans have been living in harmony with nature. D A parasocial relationship（PSR） is generally defined as a relationship in which one member of the relationship isn’t aware of the other — for example, a fan loves a celebrity, but the celebrity doesn’t know they exist. The term “parasocial relationships” first appeared in the 1950s, when psychologists tried to understand how television viewers reacted to TV personalities speaking to them directly out of the screen. Later in the 70s and 80s, scholars began to assume that forming parasocial relationships was driven by loneliness. However, not-lonely people are just as likely to form a connection with that person on the screen. As fandoms（粉丝圈） became more visible throughout the latter half of the 20th century, parasocial relationships became associated with youth and immaturity. It’s true that adolescents particularly tend to develop intense parasocial relationships because it can be a chance to practice real adult feelings on someone at a safe distance. But digital interaction complicates these natural relationships. Since the rise of social media, the phenomenon of parasocial relationships has been hugely amplified（放大）. The traditional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan has no actual contact with a celebrity, is visibly changed by our new means of communication — a celebrity might see a fan’s message or even reply. When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness. People think they really have more of a relationship than they do. Online fandoms, especially large ones full of adolescents with strong emotions can generate bad behavior among adults. Behavior that might have been limited to one person or a few people might be, thanks to social media, given the chance to spread. “There’s a sort of echo chamber effect（回声室效应）where people convince themselves, ‘everyone agrees with me and therefore we are all right in our approach,’” says Gayle Stever, the author of Parasocial Experiences. Parasocial relationships are natural and not inherently （固有地） unhealthy. But as Stever says, “Anything that can be true about a regular social relationship can be true about a parasocialrel ationship.” 32．Which aspect of parasocial relationships does paragraph 2 talk about? A．Their features. B．Their development. 高一英语试卷 第 6 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） C．Their forms. D．Their influence. 33．How has social media changed parasocial relationships? A．Most online users are adolescents. B．Fans can meet celebrities in person. C．PSRs become more common among fans. D．Fans can interact with celebrities online. 34．Why does Stever mention the echo chamber effect in her book? A．To explain how behavior spreads in online fandoms. B．To prove that fans are easily persuaded by others. C．To illustrate the reasons why fans’ actions are right. D．To stress the fact that Stever’s book is important. 35．What is the writer’s attitude towards parasocial relationships? A．Approving B．Negative. C．Unclear. D．Objective. E LignoSat, the world’s first satellite made mostly from wood, reached the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX cargo capsule on November 5, 2024. The palm-sized satellite, named after the Latin word for “wood”, will be launched from the ISS into Earth’s orbit later this month. Its mission is to determine if wood can resist the harsh conditions of space. If successful, LignoSat could pave the way for more environmentally friendly spacecraft designs. The LignoSat Space Wood Project is led by Japan’s Kyoto University. The researchers began by sending a small panel containing three different wood samples to the ISS in 2022. The panel was exposed to space for ten months before being returned to Earth in early 2023. After analyzing the results, the team picked wood from magnolia trees for the satellite. “Nobody had ever thought about using wood for rocket science before,” said Professor Koji Murata of Kyoto University. “Many engineers thought wood was old technology and couldn’t be applied to cutting-edge technology.” The main reason for testing a wooden satellite is to reduce space junk. Current satellites are primarily made of aluminum. The metal reacts with oxygen when the satellites burn up in Earth’s atmosphere at the end of their life cycle. This process releases aluminum oxide particles, potentially damaging the ozone layer. Wooden satellites, which leave behind only water and carbon dioxide, could help alleviate this issue. “All the satellites that re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere burn and create tiny alumina particles, which will float in the upper atmosphere for many years,” said Takao Doi, an aerospace engineer. “Eventually, it will affect the environment of the Earth.” Researchers also see a future when trees could be grown on the Moon and Mars. Successfully testing a wooden satellite will demonstrate that wood can withstand harsh space conditions. LignoSat will orbit the Earth for six months, gathering valuable data before burning up in the atmosphere. Murata and his team aim to use this information to design larger and more advanced wooden satellites and devices. 高一英语试卷 第 7 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） 36．What is the main task of the LignoSat satellite? A．To provide supplies for the ISS. B．To determine the endurance of the wood in space. C．To test the circling capability of wooden satellites. D．To confirm the size of the wooden satellite in space. 37．Which decision is made based on experimental results? A．Deciding the exposure time of the trial panel. B．Sending different wood samples into space. C．Selecting magnolia wood as the satellite material. D．Cooperating with Kyoto University on the project. 38．What is the main environmental advantage of wooden satellites? A．They can be repurposed through recycling. B．They will not release aluminum oxide particles. C．They can control the amount of space waste overall. D．They can be obtained as building materials in space. 39．What is the author’s purpose in writing the article? A．To describe the process of making the LignoSat satellite. B．To discuss the potential environmental impact of wooden satellites. C．To illustrate the practicality and meaning of using wooden satellites. D．To compare the features of wooden satellites and aluminum satellites. 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。 Your Path to Emotional Maturity Emotions play a critical part in life. In order to grow and be better than before, you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Let’s explore some powerful strategies to help you become emotionally mature! Try using “I” statements Whenever you feel hurt, you need to tell others your feelings in a considerate way. The best way to do this is by using “I” statements instead of “You” statements. For example, you should use the statement: “I feel miserable and heartbroken” instead of “You make me feel miserable and heartbroken”. 40 Own your feelings If you want to change yourself, start with taking ownership of your feelings. However, in some situations, instead of owning your feelings, you tend to deflect (转移) them and make others feel guilty about how you are feeling. 41 Embrace them as a part of yourself because they are a part of you, right? 42 People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes; this happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it; this can be extremely annoying. Just as you aren’t a mind reader, others aren’t either. You need to share your needs with the other person, and they need to do the same with you. 高一英语试卷 第 8 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） Mind your actions and words Often, you say a lot when you are emotional, especially when you are angry. 43 You need to mind whatever you say and do; this can either make the other person love or hate you. The strategy in a stressful situation is to focus on yourself instead of focusing on others; this will calm you down instantly. Always question your thoughts Actions and words have the same importance; this is what I need you to understand. In some situations, your loved ones could be hurting you through their words or their actions, and you could also be wrong. 44 What happens in more than 70% of situations is that you let negative thoughts take hold of you; this is completely wrong. A．Attempt to be mind readers. B．Communicate your needs. C．You’d better not let negative thoughts question your judgment. D．Thus, rather than dump them on others, learn to take charge of your feelings. E．The approach is non-aggressive and describes you as emotionally mature. F．If not controlled, it can have severe consequences, especially in your relationship. G．Let’s say that you get into a fight with your partner, and you also get hurt. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 完型填空 (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。 It was a cold January school day in South Carolina.
