B The Nobel Prize is considered as one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible, honoring people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields. Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (硝酸甘油) in Paris. Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive. After years of efforts, in 1867, Nobel invented dynamite, which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin. During his lifetime, Nobel invented and patented various explosives. He built up his wealth from his 355 inventions, from which dynamite was the most important. When Alfred’s brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published Alfred’s obituary (讣告). Reading his own obituary, Nobel was disappointed to find out his public image. The newspaper strongly blamed Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.” To Alfred, this obituary was a warning. He spent his lifetime alone inventing things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will, so as to improve his public image, and to be remembered for a good cause. In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last will, saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great contributions to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. To widespread astonishment, Dr. Alfred Nobel gave away 94% of his total wealth to found the five Nobel Prizes. 4. What led to Nobel’s invention of dynamite according to Paragraph 2? A. The strong desire to make money. B. His great curiosity and devotion to science. C. His lifetime dream of achieving success. D. The valuable help from his family. 5. When did Nobel invent dynamite? A. 34. B. 40. C. 42. D. 55. 6. What was Alfred Nobel’s attitude towards the newspaper’s obituary? A. Optimistic. B. Satisfied. C. Upset. D. Supportive. 7. Why did Nobel give away most of his wealth to set up the Nobel Foundation? A. To be remembered as “the merchant of death”. B. To prove the importance of his inventions. C. To publish his findings of scientific research. D. To leave a good name to the public. C Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history — a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting(漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go? The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments(碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia. Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together. Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find marsupials and cockatoos — animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations. The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in. 8. What do we know about Argoland? A. It split into two pieces many years ago. B. It broke away from the continent of Africa. C. It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain. D. It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia. 9. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Crashed. B. Connected. C. Distributed. D. Disappeared. 10. Why does the author mention the “Wallace line” in paragraph 4? A. To introduce the early history of Argoland. B. To stress the significance of tracing Argoland. C. To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands. D. To explain the evolutionary process of Australian species. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Discovery of a Lost Continent B. The Boundaries of Wildlife Habitats C The Geological Features of Argoland D. The Formation of the Argo Abyssal Plain D Most of us are familiar with Groundhog Day, wherein a large groundhog checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar (毛毛虫) known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions? According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13 segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. Scientific studies on worm forecasting are few and far between. The most often cited is a small trial that American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder. Most scientists discount the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just a folklore. “It’s a wonderful story but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had a bunch of papers published, but he never published this one—probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.” Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.” 12. How do people predict the weather through woolly worms? A. By analyzing their living habits. B. By measuring the change of their size. C. By studying color bands on their bodies. D. By calculating the number of their segments. 13. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on? A. A survey on the locals. B. His personal observations. C. Studies by previous scientists. D. Statistics collected by the museum. 14. What does the underlined word “discount” in paragraph 4 mean? A. consider. B. believe. C. doubt. D. dismiss. 15. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with? A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it. B. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather. C. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth. D. Woolly worms can help predict the severity of winter accurately. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being more organized can change your life for the better and can even result-in you becoming more successful.

Eighteen-year-old Natalie Lucas has been working as a lifeguard at the YMCA in Longmont, Colorado, for the past three years. Recently, a couple entered the pool area while she was on duty. The woman was very pregnant, so Natalie kept a close eye on her as she eased herself into the shallow end of the pool. Tessa Rider was nine months pregnant that day. She and her husband, Matthew Jones, came to the pool a few times that week to ease the discomfort of a nerve pain. As Tessa was resting in the pool, she suddenly realized something was happening. Natalie noticed Tessa climbed out of the pool, so she went over to check on the couple. “I walk over and Matthew, the husband, says to me, ‘We’re having the baby right now.’ I’m like, ‘OK!’” Natalie recalled. Matthew called 911, but as he spoke to the operator he knew it was too late. Tessa was already pulling her bathing suit off. Natalie helped Tessa and Matthew by bringing over the center’s medical supplies and towels, and calling for more assistance from the front desk. Throughout it all, she told herself to remain calm and focus on caring for Tessa. “I knew I needed to stay calm,” Natalie said. “So I made sure to keep my head on and stay with them, keep asking them questions, and keep them focused on the baby and made sure that they were the most comfortable.” Less than five minutes later, Matthew caught his newborn son as he was born on the pool edge. After helping clear the baby’s airway and ensuring he was breathing, Natalie used her back to support the new mom until paramedic (护理员) arrived. Once there, baby Tobin Thomas Rider received a clean bill of health! 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。 Paragraph 1: Matthew and Tessa are both grateful that Natalie was there to help them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Natalie said Tobin’s unexpected birth was all just part of her job. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届罗山县高级中学、第二高级中学二模联考 高三英语试题 注意事项: 本试卷分四部分，考试时间120分钟，满分150分。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上作答无效。 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ABC三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1.

Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (硝酸甘油) in Paris. Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive. After years of efforts, in 1867, Nobel invented dynamite, which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin. During his lifetime, Nobel invented and patented various explosives. He built up his wealth from his 355 inventions, from which dynamite was the most important. When Alfred’s brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published Alfred’s obituary (讣告). Reading his own obituary, Nobel was disappointed to find out his public image. The newspaper strongly blamed Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.” To Alfred, this obituary was a warning. He spent his lifetime alone inventing things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will, so as to improve his public image, and to be remembered for a good cause. In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last will, saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great contributions to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. To widespread astonishment, Dr. Alfred Nobel gave away 94% of his total wealth to found the five Nobel Prizes. 4. What led to Nobel’s invention of dynamite according to Paragraph 2? A. The strong desire to make money. B. His great curiosity and devotion to science. C. His lifetime dream of achieving success. D. The valuable help from his family. 5. When did Nobel invent dynamite? A. 34. B. 40. C. 42. D. 55. 6. What was Alfred Nobel’s attitude towards the newspaper’s obituary? A. Optimistic. B. Satisfied. C. Upset. D. Supportive. 7. Why did Nobel give away most of his wealth to set up the Nobel Foundation? A. To be remembered as “the merchant of death”. B. To prove the importance of his inventions. C. To publish his findings of scientific research. D. To leave a good name to the public. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7.

Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting(漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go? The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments(碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia. Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together. Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find marsupials and cockatoos — animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations. The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in. 8. What do we know about Argoland? A. It split into two pieces many years ago. B. It broke away from the continent of Africa. C. It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain. D. It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia. 9. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Crashed. B. Connected. C. Distributed. D. Disappeared. 10. Why does the author mention the “Wallace line” in paragraph 4? A. To introduce the early history of Argoland. B. To stress the significance of tracing Argoland. C. To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands. D. To explain the evolutionary process of Australian species. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Discovery of a Lost Continent B. The Boundaries of Wildlife Habitats C. The Geological Features of Argoland D. The Formation of the Argo Abyssal Plain 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇文章主要围绕科学家发现了1.55亿年前“消失的”阿尔戈大陆而展开。文章解释了阿尔戈大陆早年从澳大利亚大陆分离，往西北方向漂移，最终在印度尼西亚岛屿的东部以广泛分散的碎片形式被发现。这一发现对于科学家们研究生物多样性以及东南亚岛屿上神秘的华莱士线都有着重要的意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia.(利用这一理论，乌特勒支大学的地质学家发现，阿尔戈大陆并没有真正消失，而是作为一个“非常广泛并分散的集合体”存在于印度尼西亚东部的岛屿下方)”可知，阿尔戈大陆是以碎片的形式存在于印度尼西亚东部岛屿之下。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments”可知，阿尔戈大陆不像非洲和南美洲那样是整齐地分裂成两部分，阿尔戈兰大陆分裂成许多较小的碎片，再结合画线词下文“which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features”可知，这使得科学家很难确定它的位置并研究它的地质特征。然而，利用先进的技术和这项新发现，科学家们现在能够将它们拼凑起来。故画线词所在句应表示阿尔戈大陆分裂成许多“分散的”小碎片。“Distributed”意为“分散的”，符合语境，故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity.

But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar (毛毛虫) known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions? According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13 segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. Scientific studies on worm forecasting are few and far between. The most often cited is a small trial that American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder. Most scientists discount the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just a folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had a bunch of papers published, but he never published this one—probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.” Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.” 12. How do people predict the weather through woolly worms? A. By analyzing their living habits. B. By measuring the change of their size. C. By studying color bands on their bodies. D. By calculating the number of their segments. 13. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on? A A survey on the locals. B. His personal observations. C. Studies by previous scientists. D. Statistics collected by the museum. 14. What does the underlined word “discount” in paragraph 4 mean? A. consider. B. believe. C. doubt. D. dismiss. 15. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with? A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it. B. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather. C. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth. D. Woolly worms can help predict the severity of winter accurately. 【答案】12 C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了“毛毛虫是否能”预测“冬季天气?”的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter.

Eighteen-year-old Natalie Lucas has been working as a lifeguard at the YMCA in Longmont, Colorado, for the past three years. Recently, a couple entered the pool area while she was on duty. The woman was very pregnant, so Natalie kept a close eye on her as she eased herself into the shallow end of the pool. Tessa Rider was nine months pregnant that day. She and her husband, Matthew Jones, came to the pool a few times that week to ease the discomfort of a nerve pain. As Tessa was resting in the pool, she suddenly realized something was happening. Natalie noticed Tessa climbed out of the pool, so she went over to check on the couple. “I walk over and Matthew, the husband, says to me, ‘We’re having the baby right now.’ I’m like, ‘OK!’” Natalie recalled. Matthew called 911, but as he spoke to the operator he knew it was too late. Tessa was already pulling her bathing suit off. Natalie helped Tessa and Matthew by bringing over the center’s medical supplies and towels, and calling for more assistance from the front desk. Throughout it all, she told herself to remain calm and focus on caring for Tessa. “I knew I needed to stay calm,” Natalie said. “So I made sure to keep my head on and stay with them, keep asking them questions, and keep them focused on the baby and made sure that they were the most comfortable.” Less than five minutes later, Matthew caught his newborn son as he was born on the pool edge. After helping clear the baby’s airway and ensuring he was breathing, Natalie used her back to support the new mom until paramedic (护理员) arrived. Once there, baby Tobin Thomas Rider received a clean bill of health! 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。 Paragraph 1: Matthew and Tessa are both grateful that Natalie was there to help them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Natalie said Tobin’s unexpected birth was all just part of her job. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Matthew and Tessa are both grateful that Natalie was there to help them. They thought they were in great need of an extra set of hands at that moment. Matthew said Natalie was super focused on Tessa so that he did not have to worry about his wife. Without Natalie there, he wouldn’t have been able to give his attention to Tobin. “She was there to do anything we asked,” said Tessa. “And the first thing I thought of was that someone could hold my back up. And she did. It was perfect.” Natalie said Tobin’s unexpected birth was all just part of her job. The teen, who’s getting ready to head off to college in the fall, says, “I just did what I was supposed to do in that situation. I’m a lifeguard. It was the first time I’d had to help bring life into the world, rather than just prevent death.” Undoubtedly, the whole experience made an impression on her and she planned on sending birthday cards to Tobin. Both Natalie and the couple plan to stay in touch. They’re definitely bonded for life after this unforgettable experience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，主要讲述了18岁的救生员Natalie Lucas在工作中意外帮助一位怀孕九个月的妇女Tessa Rider在泳池里顺利生下了儿子Tobin的故事。Tessa在游泳池休息时突然开始临产，由于来不及到医院，Natalie在极短时间内帮助Tessa和她的丈夫Matthew顺利度过生产过程。Natalie保持冷静，专注照顾Tessa，最终帮助诞生了健康的婴儿Tobin。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tessa和Matthew都很感激Natalie在那里帮助他们”可知，第一段可描写夫妻两人具体表达对Natalie的感激，以及描述Natalie给予他们的帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“Natalie说，Tobin的意外出生只是她工作的一部分”可知，第二段可描写Natalie谦逊地表示自己只是尽到了职责，以及她和Tessa和Matthew保持联系，共享这段经历。 2. 续写线索：夫妻感激Natalie——夫妻具体表达感激——夫妻描述Natalie的帮助——Natalie讲述想法——Natalie表示在尽职责——Natalie和夫妻保持联系 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①关注：give attention to/pay attention to ②要求：ask/request ③保持联系：stay in touch/stay in contact ④建立联系：bond/connect 情绪类 ①担心：worry about/be concerned about/be afraid for ②难忘的：unforgettable/memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] Matthew said Natalie was super focused on Tessa so that he did not have to worry about his wife.
