My favorite brand is known for durability and style-perfect for country life.It emphasizes that rain boots are a"must-have"for people living in regions with frequent rain.But if you live in the city,do you really need a pair?Let's be clear:A rubber ankle boot-which doesn't allow for playing in small pools or jumping through water in winter-isn't a boot.And I'm not against a pair of colorful boots at the beach or camping but in the countryside,they clearly say,"just visiting".Similarly,durable country rain boots look out of place in a supermarket after a walk. Wellington boots became popular in the 1800s thanks to Arthur Wellesley,the Duke of Wellington. Originally called Hessians,these tall boots with decorative strings were worn by fashionable gentlemen. The Duke adapted them for practicality while keeping them smart for casual events.Since then,they've undergone remarkable transformations;in the 1980s,green boots symbolized British upper-class style.In the actual greener 1990s,I had Dunlop boots made from recycled rubber,which lasted ages.Today,most are made from non-recyclable plastic,but eco-conscious options like natural rubber boots lined with organic cotton are gaining popularity. In the end,you want a pair of boots that you don't have to struggle to get on or off,and that you can rely on.They become old friends and you miss them when they go.I'll never be without them. 24.Why does the author mention the development of wellington boots in the first paragraph? A.To show their popularity among children. B.To highlight their changing styles over time. C.To suggest that they are more suitable for adults. D.To emphasize their importance in the countryside 25.What can we infer about colorful boots in the countryside? A.They are preferred by locals. B.They indicate the wearer is not local. C.They are more practical than plain boots. D.They are suitable for shopping in supermarkets 26.The author develops Paragraph 3 primarily by A.listing materials used over time B.focusing on upper-class fashion C.tracing changes through time D.noting environmental shifts 27.What is the author's attitude towards Wellington boots? A.Critical. B.Affectionate. C.Objective. D.Dismissive. 湖北省黄冈中学2025届高三5月第二次模拟考试英语试卷（共10页）第4页 0 'No sound is more universal than laughter.There are no language or cultural barriers-veryone everywhere understands the concept,"says Sophie Scott,one of the world's leading experts on laughter. "Laughter is a nonverbal emotional expression,"Scott explains."The emotion that we seem to be expressing with it is joy,but it's a social joy that is primarily experienced with other people." The community aspect of joy is paramount to understanding the reasons we laugh.While people certainly can laugh when they are alone,they're much less likely to than when they're around other people.According to a scientific paper published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences,people are 30 times more likely to laugh if they are with someone else than if they are alone. But it's not something we do intentionally,at least not when it comes to the sort of genuine laughter that bubbles (out of us.What's more,there are times when we can't help but laugh,such as if we're being tickled(挠痒痒). So what exactly is happening in the body when we laugh?Scott explains that laughter is a physiological response.When we laugh,the brain releases endorphins ()which relax the whole body. In other words,we're hardwired for laughter.Everyone has the ability to laugh,even blind babies who have never seen laughter and deaf babies who have never heard it.Other mammals laugh too, including rats when they are tickled."It's likely that many species of animals laugh and we just don't realize it because we don't know what their laughter sounds like,"Scott says. Sure,you'll snicker (at silly dad jokes and funny pickup lines,but contrary to what many believe,finding something funny is not the only cause.So why do we laugh?There are four primary aspects,and they relate to our need for social connections,our desire to hide our emotions,our uncontrollable bodily responses and,of course,our sense of humor. 28.Which of the following is most likely to replace the underlined phrase "paramount to"? A.caused by B.equal to C.removed from D.essential to 29.In which of the following case will a person makes genuine laughter? A.He laughs to comfort himself when he fails an exam. B.A nice birthday gift brings him joy. C.He laughs at a lame joke told by his dad. D.The brain lacks endorphins. 30.How does the author support his argument in the last paragraph but one? A.By analyzing the process of a physiological response. B.By listing examples of laughter made by creatures. C.By comparing the laughter of humans and animals. D.By making a quotation of a famous person. 31.What might be discussed in the following paragraphs after this passage? A.The reasons why we can't understand silly dad jokes. B.The four ways we can laugh happily. C.The main reasons why we laugh. D.The ways we can improve our sense of humor. 湖北省黄冈中学2025届高三5月第二次模拟考试英语试卷（共10页）第5页 D Some wounds won't heal(康复)by themselves..Current chronic(慢性的)wound treatments often require surgery or lead to overuse of antibiotic,which can worsen the problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria."There's an urgent need for personalized wound treatment,"says California Institute of Technology biomedical engineer Wei Gao. For a study published in Science Advances,Gao and his colleagues used rodents(to test a "smart bandage"that could make chronic wound healing easier and faster.It consists of a stretchable bandage attached to the skin,containing medication and a thin layer of electronics that monitors and wirelessly transmits data about the wound's condition.The bandage can carry out controlled delivery of two treatments:a drug and an electric current. The bandage builds on previous efforts to promote healing with electricity.This process,called electrotherapy,works both by attracting immune cells and skin cells to the wound and by boosting cell growth and division.A study published last year led by engineer Yuanwen Jiang,now at the University of Pennsylvania,described a bandage that monitored temperature and conductivity,using the collected data to control delivery of electrotherapy.The new research adds biochemical sensing capabilities. "Biochemical signals open up new opportunities because you're able to really examine what's happening on a molecular()level.That's the key novelty here."Jiang says.Gao and his colleagues also added an electroactive material that releases an anti-infectious drug when stimulated by an electrode. Another electrode stimulates the wound directly. The team tested the bandage on rodents with wounds and found that it accurately detected changes in infection and physical states at different stages of wound healing.The bandage's combined treatments fully healed rodent wounds in two weeks.Each individual treatment achieved at least partial healing within that time,and untreated animals did not heal. Researchers still need to investigate the bandage's biosensor durability in human patients'chronic wounds."Requirements for the lifetime of the device are very different between rodents and human subjects,"Jiang says."Stability over that extended period has not been tested yet." 32.What is the advantage of the"smart bandage"in the study? A.It avoids the use of antibiotic. B.It can help patients receive personalized surgeries. C.It can monitor and adjust treatment in real time. D.It is made from stretchable materials. 33.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The importance of electrotherapy in wound healing. B.The breakthroughs in wound healing with Smart Bandages. C.The challenges scientists meet in the lengthy research process. D.The comparison between two great scientists'researches. 湖北省黄冈中学2025届高三5月第二次模拟考试英语试卷（共10页)第6页 34.What can we learn about the smart bandage? A.The smart bandage proves ineffective to some animals. B.The durability of the bandage in human wounds remains unclear. C.Different bandages are used at different stages of wound healing D.Different lifetimes of humans require different bandages. 35.What is the best title of the passage? A.New Bandage Medicates Chronic Wounds B.The Evolution of Electrotherapy Bandage C.The Science Behind Electrotherapy Bandage D.How Smart Bandage Heals Wounds 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。 As the aging population grows,more people choose aging in place-living their later years at home.

One evening,near the end of the visit,Squier,her daughter and the school group were on a platform in the London Underground getting ready to head to their next destination.It was 5 p.m.and the station was packed.Squier took hold of Sarah's hand and began counting her students.Just then,a train pulled up to the platform. "Suddenly,my daughter let go of my hand,jumped on the train,and the doors began to close," Virginia recalled."As the train gathered speed,I ran alongside trying to force the door open by digging my fingers into the black rubber seal.Through the window,I could see my daughter's panicked face." The last thing she saw before the train pulled out of the station was her daughter crying and pounding her small fists against the glass.Behind her,a young man dressed in black leather with a spiked (collar stood up and moved toward her.Virginia's heart raced-his rough appearance matched every waming she'd ever heard about"dangerous"strangers.His black leather jacket with sharp-looking decorations,messy hair,even the way he walked-everything about him screamed "trouble."She imagined the worst-what if he was a thief?What if he took Sarah somewhere she couldn't find her? Terrified,Virginia searched for help but struggled to explain the emergency to a station worker who didn't speak English well."My daughter-the train!"she cried,but he didn't understand.She tried speaking slowly,then louder,even gesturing wildly,but the language barrier made her panic grow.Each failed attempt left her more desperate as the train disappeared into the tunnel.The young man on the train had witnessed what had happened and immediately stepped in to help. Paragraph 1: He bent down and gently wiped Sarah's tears with his sleeve. Paragraph 2: As Virginia hugged Sarah tightly,the young man disappeared into the crowd. 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。 湖北省黄冈中学2025届高三5月第二次模拟考试英语试卷（共10页）第10页
