Closed: Monday Istanbul Modern, Istanbul, Turkey In Istanbul, there’s a 110,000-square-foot art space given to Renzo Piano, a famous Italian architect, to show modern art from Turkey and beyond. The building has a shiny aluminum (铝) surface that mirrors the nearby Bosporus. Inside, glass-walled rooms feature large abstract paintings.

Canadian Canoe Museum, Ontario, Canada One of the best things about visiting the world’s largest collection of canoes (独木舟) and kayaks (皮艇)? You can actually row up to it. The streamlined, boat-shaped facility, which has its grand opening in May, is located lakeside in Peterborough.

B Climate change is increasingly challenging the world of sports, with rising temperatures and extreme weather conditions threatening the existence of sports events globally. Athletes like triathlete Pragnya Mohan have been forced to relocate their training to cope with unbearable heat, while others, including discus thrower Sam Mattis, face extreme temperatures during competitions. Such conditions not only affect athlete performance but also pose a threat to the continued existence of certain sports. At the UN climate summit in Baku, experts underlined the urgent need to address climate change’s impact on sports. Events are being interrupted by unusual weather patterns, as seen in the Paris Olympics, where triathlons were delayed due to water quality issues from heavy rain. In response, some sports organizations and clubs are beginning to take action. Soccer clubs have joined forces to reduce emissions and engage fans in climate awareness, emphasizing the role sports can play in advocating environmental responsibility. These efforts illustrate the crucial role that organized sports can have in promoting and supporting sustainable practices. However, large-scale efforts can sometimes seem less impactful due to conflicting priorities and the financial interests tied to major sports events. These factors hinder real progress in sports-related climate advocacy and reveal the complexities involved in combining global sports practices with environmental initiatives. Climate change is also increasing the costs associated with sports, widening the gap between rich and less rich athletes. As certain regions become unsuitable for training due to weather extremes, athletes face increased travel and training expenses, creating a widening socioeconomic divide. To adapt, sports events are shifting to cooler times or new locations. However, these measures only partially address the broader issues. Technologies like air-conditioned stadiums, used in the Qatar World Cup, provide temporary relief but are not sustainable. As sports wrestle with climate change, athletes and organizations must innovate to reduce their environmental footprint. A joint effort is essential to make sure sports can continue to boom in a changing world, offering fair opportunities while promoting sustainability, with an emphasis on long-term, impactful solutions. 4. Why are Pragnya Mohan and Sam Mattis mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate physical challenges world athletes face. B. To praise their achievement in reducing climate change. C. To display their excellent performance in competitions. D. To show the bad effects climate change has on sports. 5. What does the underlined word “hinder” mean? A. Discover. B. Achieve. C. Deny. D. Block. 6. What might be the impact of climate change on sports? A. It narrows the skill gap between athletes. B. It raises the training costs for sports events. C It promotes equality among sports participants. D. It increases the number of international events. 7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Innovative technology is key in sports competitions B. Cooperation is needed to ensure the sports’ survival C. Organizations should offer athletes fair opportunities. D. The solutions made now are short-term and low-impact. C What do you get when you paint a pair of eyes on a cow’s rump (臀部)? The answer is that you’ll get an approach to scaring predators (捕食者) away. This simple trick is called the “i-cow” solution. The eyes painted on cows’ rumps can trick certain predators, such as lions and leopards. An experiment by Australia and Botswana compared how predators reacted to herds that had eye paintings on their rumps, ones that had “xs”, and some without any paintings at all. Over a four-year period, researchers found that 15 out of the 835 unpainted cows were killed by predators, 4 of the 543 cows with “xs” died, but every single one of the 683 animals with eye paintings on their rumps was still alive. Neil Jordan, a biologist in Australia, first came up with the method. While watching a lion hunting a deer, he noticed something interesting. “Lions usually move slowly and quietly to their prey, get close and jump on them. But when the deer noticed the lion and the lion realized it had been seen, it gave up on the hunt,” he said. Later, he worked with a local farmer to test his idea over a period of 10 weeks, and like the most recent results, all of the cows with painted eyes survived. Despite the positive results, Dr. Jordan says the method isn’t a sure solution. He says if farmers painted eyes on the backsides of all their cows, predators might finally figure out that the eyes aren’t real. Therefore, further research should be done to prove whether it is effective. In spite of this, he’s still hoping that the “i-cow” will become a widely used technique to at least reduce predator’s attacks. “I think the farmers are just happy with this,” Dr. Jordan says. “After all, all they need is a paint pot, paint brush and a little bit of artistic talent.” 8. What is “i-cow” solution intended for? A. Protecting cows from being attacked. B. Leading predators to the farm. C. Training cows to notice predators. D. Recognizing cows quickly. 9. What do we know about the experiment in paragraph 2? A. Most of the unpainted cows were killed. B. The cows with “eyes” on the rump survived. C. A small number of cows with “xs” survived. D. More than twenty painted cows were killed. 10. What might be a cause of the “i-cow” solution’s failing to work? A. Predators perceive the tricks. B. Predators get close to the cows. C There is more than one predator. D. The farmers lack basic painting skills. 11. Why does Dr. Jordan think that farmers will favor his method? A. It is a widely recognized approach. B. It follows their traditional practice. C. It is easy and cheap to carry out. D. It has proved the most effective. D Maths phobia (恐惧症) is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, feeling sad about the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to solve it, wrote a book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that solving this fear is a challenge of the highest importance. Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that numeracy (计算能力) and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. A focus completely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them, from seeing the true beauty of mathematics. That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite (无穷大), explore the amazing symmetries (对称) of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普及性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details behind it. Today’s self-help experts like to point out that, physiologically, we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. So, if your heart is racing and your palms are sweating before a big event, you simply have to tell yourself that you are excited. In the same way, fear can be negative (dread) or positive (awe). Our goal should be to try to move people from a view of mathematics as a collection of calculations whose great difficulty brings dread to an appreciation of a beautiful language whose complexity inspires awe. A hundred years on, Auerbach’s writing is as relevant as ever. It is a timely reminder that “maths anxiety”, as it is now called, remains as much a challenge in 21st century as it was in the 20th. 12. Why do we fear mathematics according to Auerbach? A. Because maths contributes a lot to society. B. Because we always mess up a calculation. C. Because we misunderstand what maths is. D. Because we lack strategies to learn maths. 13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The understanding of mathematics. B. The application of mathematics. C. The influence of mathematics. D. The introduction to excellent mathematicians. 14. What is our aim when dealing with the fear of maths? A. To encourage people to read more books about physiology. B. To inspire people to learn and enjoy a complex foreign language. C. To help people learn how to do calculations correctly and accurately. D. To change the view of maths from calculating to appreciating its beauty. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A Don’t care about maths B. Don’t fear the numbers C. Maths phobia is not a challenge anymore D. Maths anxiety is common at all age levels 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Being attractive comes more from your personality than from your appearance.___16___ To have an attractive personality ,develop the ability to communicate, have confidence in yourself and develop a sense of humor.

This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time. Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot. “Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings. Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head. Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.” Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江门市新会区名冠实验学校 2025年春季高二英语5月月考考试试卷 考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1.答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) A Visit These Cultural Hot Spots in 2024 Guangzhou Museum of Art, Guangzhou, China Covered with 21,008 pieces of “fish scales (鳞)” glass, Guangzhou Museum of Art looks like a blooming hero flower.

Athletes like triathlete Pragnya Mohan have been forced to relocate their training to cope with unbearable heat, while others, including discus thrower Sam Mattis, face extreme temperatures during competitions. Such conditions not only affect athlete performance but also pose a threat to the continued existence of certain sports. At the UN climate summit in Baku, experts underlined the urgent need to address climate change’s impact on sports. Events are being interrupted by unusual weather patterns, as seen in the Paris Olympics, where triathlons were delayed due to water quality issues from heavy rain. In response, some sports organizations and clubs are beginning to take action. Soccer clubs have joined forces to reduce emissions and engage fans in climate awareness, emphasizing the role sports can play in advocating environmental responsibility. These efforts illustrate the crucial role that organized sports can have in promoting and supporting sustainable practices. However, large-scale efforts can sometimes seem less impactful due to conflicting priorities and the financial interests tied to major sports events. These factors hinder real progress in sports-related climate advocacy and reveal the complexities involved in combining global sports practices with environmental initiatives. Climate change is also increasing the costs associated with sports, widening the gap between rich and less rich athletes. As certain regions become unsuitable for training due to weather extremes, athletes face increased travel and training expenses, creating a widening socioeconomic divide. To adapt, sports events are shifting to cooler times or new locations. However, these measures only partially address the broader issues. Technologies like air-conditioned stadiums, used in the Qatar World Cup, provide temporary relief but are not sustainable. As sports wrestle with climate change, athletes and organizations must innovate to reduce their environmental footprint. A joint effort is essential to make sure sports can continue to boom in a changing world, offering fair opportunities while promoting sustainability, with an emphasis on long-term, impactful solutions. 4. Why are Pragnya Mohan and Sam Mattis mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate physical challenges world athletes face. B. To praise their achievement in reducing climate change. C. To display their excellent performance in competitions. D. To show the bad effects climate change has on sports. 5. What does the underlined word “hinder” mean? A. Discover. B. Achieve. C. Deny. D. Block. 6. What might be the impact of climate change on sports? A. It narrows the skill gap between athletes. B. It raises the training costs for sports events. C. It promotes equality among sports participants. D. It increases the number of international events. 7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Innovative technology is key in sports competitions B. Cooperation is needed to ensure the sports’ survival C. Organizations should offer athletes fair opportunities. D. The solutions made now are short-term and low-impact. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了气候变化对体育界的挑战及应对措施。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Climate change is increasingly challenging the world of sports, with rising temperatures and extreme weather conditions threatening the existence of sports events globally. Athletes like triathlete Pragnya Mohan have been forced to relocate their training to cope with unbearable heat, while others, including discus thrower Sam Mattis, face extreme temperatures during competitions. (气候变化正日益对体育界构成严峻挑战，气温上升和极端天气状况正威胁着全球体育赛事的存续。像三项全能运动员Pragnya Mohan这样的选手，已不得不调整训练地点以应对酷热难耐的天气；而包括铁饼运动员Sam Mattis在内的其他运动员，则在比赛期间面临极端高温的考验。)”可知，提到Pragnya Mohan和Sam Mattis是为了展示气候变化对体育的不良影响。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段“However, large-scale efforts can sometimes seem less impactful due to conflicting priorities and the financial interests tied to major sports events. These factors hinder real progress in sports-related climate advocacy and reveal the complexities involved in combining global sports practices with environmental initiatives. (然而，由于存在相互冲突的优先事项，以及重大体育赛事背后的经济利益考量，大规模的应对措施有时似乎收效甚微。这些因素hinder体育领域在气候倡导方面取得实质性进展，也揭示了将全球体育活动与环境倡议相结合所面临的复杂性。)”可知，相互冲突的优先事项，以及重大体育赛事背后的经济利益考量。这些因素阻碍了体育相关气候倡导方面的真正进展。因此，hinder在此处意为“阻碍，妨碍”，与block“阻碍”意思相近。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Climate change is also increasing the costs associated with sports, widening the gap between rich and less rich athletes. As certain regions become unsuitable for training due to weather extremes, athletes face increased travel and training expenses, creating a widening socioeconomic divide. (气候变化还增加了与体育相关的成本，加剧了富裕运动员与较不富裕运动员之间的差距。由于极端天气，某些地区变得不再适合训练，运动员面临着旅行和训练费用增加的问题，从而加剧了社会经济差距。)”可知，气候变化对体育的影响是提高体育赛事的训练成本。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“As sports wrestle with climate change, athletes and organizations must innovate to reduce their environmental footprint. A joint effort is essential to make sure sports can continue to boom in a changing world, offering fair opportunities while promoting sustainability, with an emphasis on long-term, impactful solutions. (随着体育界与气候变化作斗争，运动员和组织必须创新以减少他们的环境足迹。共同努力对于确保体育在变化的世界中继续蓬勃发展至关重要，在促进可持续性的同时提供公平的机会，并强调长期、有影响力的解决方案。)”可知，作者在最后一段暗示了合作是确保体育生存的必要条件。故选B。 C What do you get when you paint a pair of eyes on a cow’s rump (臀部)? The answer is that you’ll get an approach to scaring predators (捕食者) away. This simple trick is called the “i-cow” solution. The eyes painted on cows’ rumps can trick certain predators, such as lions and leopards. An experiment by Australia and Botswana compared how predators reacted to herds that had eye paintings on their rumps, ones that had “xs”, and some without any paintings at all. Over a four-year period, researchers found that 15 out of the 835 unpainted cows were killed by predators, 4 of the 543 cows with “xs” died, but every single one of the 683 animals with eye paintings on their rumps was still alive. Neil Jordan, a biologist in Australia, first came up with the method. While watching a lion hunting a deer, he noticed something interesting. “Lions usually move slowly and quietly to their prey, get close and jump on them. But when the deer noticed the lion and the lion realized it had been seen, it gave up on the hunt,” he said. Later, he worked with a local farmer to test his idea over a period of 10 weeks, and like the most recent results, all of the cows with painted eyes survived. Despite the positive results, Dr. Jordan says the method isn’t a sure solution. He says if farmers painted eyes on the backsides of all their cows, predators might finally figure out that the eyes aren’t real. Therefore, further research should be done to prove whether it is effective. In spite of this, he’s still hoping that the “i-cow” will become a widely used technique to at least reduce predator’s attacks. “I think the farmers are just happy with this,” Dr. Jordan says. “After all, all they need is a paint pot, paint brush and a little bit of artistic talent.” 8. What is “i-cow” solution intended for? A. Protecting cows from being attacked. B. Leading predators to the farm. C. Training cows to notice predators. D. Recognizing cows quickly. 9. What do we know about the experiment in paragraph 2? A. Most of the unpainted cows were killed. B. The cows with “eyes” on the rump survived. C. A small number of cows with “xs” survived. D. More than twenty painted cows were killed. 10. What might be a cause of the “i-cow” solution’s failing to work? A. Predators perceive the tricks. B. Predators get close to the cows. C. There is more than one predator. D. The farmers lack basic painting skills. 11. Why does Dr. Jordan think that farmers will favor his method? A. It is a widely recognized approach. B. It follows their traditional practice. C. It is easy and cheap to carry out. D. It has proved the most effective. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种名为“i-cow”的简单方法，这种方法通过在奶牛的臀部上画眼睛来吓跑捕食者，如狮子和豹子，并展示了实验结果，证明这种方法有效减少了捕食者的攻击。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The answer is that you’ll get an approach to scaring predators (捕食者) away. This simple trick is called the “i-cow” solution. (答案是你会得到一种吓跑捕食者的方法。这个简单的把戏被称为“i-cow”解决方案)”可知，这个解决方案是为了保护奶牛免受攻击。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over a four-year period, researchers found that 15 out of the 835 unpainted cows were killed by predators, 4 of the 543 cows with “xs” died, but every single one of the 683 animals with eye paintings on their rumps was still alive. (在四年的时间里，研究人员发现，835头没有画上眼睛的奶牛中有15头被捕食者杀死，543头画上“xs”的奶牛中有4头死亡，但683头在臀部画上眼睛的奶牛中，每一头都还活着)”可知，在实验中，那些臀部上画着“眼睛”的奶牛活了下来。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Despite the positive results, Dr. Jordan says the method isn’t a sure solution. He says if farmers painted eyes on the backsides of all their cows, predators might finally figure out that the eyes aren’t real. (尽管取得了积极的结果，Jordan博士说，这种方法并不是一个可靠的解决方案。他说，如果农民在所有奶牛的背上都画上眼睛，捕食者可能最终会发现这些眼睛不是真的)”可知，捕食者察觉到这些把戏可能会导致该解决方案不起作用。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I think the farmers are just happy with this,” Dr. Jordan says. “After all, all they need is a paint pot, paint brush and a little bit of artistic talent.” (“我认为农民们对此很满意，”Jordan博士说。“毕竟，他们所需要的只是一个颜料罐、画笔和一点艺术天赋。”)”可推知，Jordan博士认为农民会喜欢他的方法，是因为它操作简单，成本低廉。故选C项。 D Maths phobia (恐惧症) is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, feeling sad about the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to solve it, wrote a book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that solving this fear is a challenge of the highest importance. Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that numeracy (计算能力) and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. A focus completely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them, from seeing the true beauty of mathematics. That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite (无穷大), explore the amazing symmetries (对称) of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普及性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details behind it. Today’s self-help experts like to point out that, physiologically, we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. So, if your heart is racing and your palms are sweating before a big event, you simply have to tell yourself that you are excited. In the same way, fear can be negative (dread) or positive (awe). Our goal should be to try to move people from a view of mathematics as a collection of calculations whose great difficulty brings dread to an appreciation of a beautiful language whose complexity inspires awe. A hundred years on, Auerbach’s writing is as relevant as ever. It is a timely reminder that “maths anxiety”, as it is now called, remains as much a challenge in 21st century as it was in the 20th. 12. Why do we fear mathematics according to Auerbach? A. Because maths contributes a lot to society. B. Because we always mess up a calculation. C. Because we misunderstand what maths is. D. Because we lack strategies to learn maths. 13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The understanding of mathematics. B. The application of mathematics. C. The influence of mathematics. D. The introduction to excellent mathematicians. 14. What is our aim when dealing with the fear of maths? A. To encourage people to read more books about physiology. B. To inspire people to learn and enjoy a complex foreign language. C. To help people learn how to do calculations correctly and accurately. D. To change the view of maths from calculating to appreciating its beauty. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Don’t care about maths B. Don’t fear the numbers C. Maths phobia is not a challenge anymore D. Maths anxiety is common at all age levels 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释说明了数学恐惧症背后的原因以及到底什么是数学。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is.(奥尔巴赫说，从本质上讲，这可以归结为对数学的根本误解)”可知，根据Auerbach的观点，我们害怕数学是因为对数学的误解。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“What, then, is mathematics?(那么，数学是什么？)”以及第三段“Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. A focus completely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them, from seeing the true beauty of mathematics. That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite (无穷大), explore the amazing symmetries (对称) of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普及性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details behind it.(奥尔巴赫说这关乎三门学问：一门科学，一门语言和一门艺术。对我来说，部分问题在于我们被困在了第一个盒子里。完全专注于技术技能，会错过发现模式并理解它们、看到数学之美所带来的快乐和兴奋。这种美存在于奇妙而优雅的思想中，它使我们能够理解无限，探索艺术与自然的惊人对称，并在抽象思想世界的完美中感到愉悦。作为一门语言，数学的与众不同之处在于其真理的普适性——无论你来自哪里，都能学得很流利。如果能向我们展示数学之美，我们就会忘记害怕它背后的技术细节)”可知，本段具体回答了上一段最后数学是什么的问题：数学是一门科学、一门语言和一门艺术。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Our goal should be to try to move people from a view of mathematics as a collection of calculations whose great difficulty brings dread to an appreciation of a beautiful language whose complexity inspires awe.(我们的目标应该是努力让人们不再把数学看作是一种计算的集合，这种计算的巨大难度让人感到恐惧，而要欣赏一种美丽的语言，这种语言的复杂性让人敬畏)”可知，我们解决数学恐惧的目的是改变人们对于数学的理解，从一系列令人恐惧的计算改变成对于数学之美的欣赏。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Maths phobia (恐惧症) is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, feeling sad about the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to solve it, wrote a book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that solving this fear is a challenge of the highest importance.(数学恐惧症的历史比你想象的要久远。一百年前，德国物理学家菲利克斯·奥尔巴赫对这一现象感到悲伤，并希望找到解决它的方法，他写了一本名为《对数学的恐惧及其克服方法》的书。他说，数学对社会的贡献如此之大，解决这种恐惧是一项最重要的挑战)”结合文章解释说明了数学恐惧症背后的原因，数学是什么以及处理数学恐惧的目的，因此文章的标题是B选项“不要害怕数字”。故选B。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Being attractive comes more from your personality than from your appearance.___16___ To have an attractive personality ,develop the ability to communicate, have confidence in yourself and develop a sense of humor.

This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time. Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot. “Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings. Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head. Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.” Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. “That’s a great idea, Ava!” Max exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with determination. Without hesitation, they quickly divided the tasks. Max ran to fetch some trash bags from his nearby home. Ava and Sam started collecting the larger pieces of garbage first, like the chip bags and plastic bottles. As they worked, Ava hummed a little tune, and the others joined in. Their laughter and songs filled the park, making the cleanup seem more like a fun game. Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. An elderly couple, who were taking a stroll, saw what they were doing and decided to lend a hand. A group of kids playing nearby also came over, eager to help make the park clean again. With more people joining, the cleanup went much faster. Before long, the playground was clean once more. The slides and swings sparkled in the sun, and the grassy fields were free of trash. Max, Ava, and Sam looked at each other, beaming with pride. They realized that with everyone’s effort, they could make a difference and keep their beloved park beautiful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了三个朋友Max、Ava和Sam发现他们常去的社区公园被垃圾污染，于是决定组成清洁小分队，发动大家一起来清理公园。在他们的带动下，越来越多的人加入清理行动，最终公园恢复了往日的整洁美丽。他们意识到，通过大家的共同努力，可以保护他们心爱的公园，让它保持美丽。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“Max和Sam兴奋地交换了一个眼神。”可知，本段主要描写Max、Ava和Sam开始行动起来，发动大家参与公园清理的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“出乎意料的是，其他游客也加入了他们的清理工作。”可知，本段描写越来越多的人加入他们的清理队伍。在大家共同努力下，公园恢复了美丽。 2.续写线索：提出想法——迅速行动——哼歌劳作——众人加入——公园恢复——内心感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分工：divide the tasks/assign roles ②哼歌：hum a tune/sing softly ③加入：join in/participate in 情绪类 ①毫不犹豫：without hesitation/without a second thought ②自豪：beam with pride/feel proud 【点睛】[高分句型1].
