A. Submit a viewing request. B. Contact the advertiser in advance. C. Reserve a room in person. D. Pay the rent through the platform. B It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 4. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C. Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 5. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 6. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 7. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D Chance favors the prepared mind. C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. . Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 8. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments. C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 9. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The context included in understanding meanings. B. The definitions made by words in communication. C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 10. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people. C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 11. What does the author suggest in communication? A Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally. C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones. D Climate change is having a far-reaching and significant impact on the world's bird species, with a new study revealing that many are shrinking（收缩）in size. This research provides crucial insights into the complex relationship between birds and their changing environment. Researchers from multiple famous universities, such as the University of Guelph and the University of Michigan, carefully examined data on nearly 80,000 individual birds from 52 species across North America. Their in-depth study covered a span（跨度）of over 40 years. During this period, as the global climate continued to warm, with average temperatures steadily rising, a remarkable trend emerged: the birds, on average, became smaller. In addition to the decrease in body size, the birds' wingspans have also increased slightly. Scientists believe this is an adaptation mechanism. In warmer conditions, a larger wingspan can help birds generate more lift with less effort, enabling them to migrate more flexibly in long distances. The study's lead author, Dr. Ryan Norris, noted that the changes in bird size and wingspan are highly likely a direct response to climate change. “Birds are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and these findings suggest that they are evolving in response to rising temperatures,” he said. “Smaller body size may help birds regulate their body temperature more effectively in warmer climates, while the increase in wingspan could aid in their ability to find food and mates over larger areas as habitats shift.” However, the researchers also cautioned that these changes could have negative consequences for some bird species. For instance, smaller-bodied songbirds may have less energy reserves to bear the delicate balance of competition for resources. A bird with an altered wingspan might find it more difficult to compete with its peers for limited food sources or nesting sites. Additionally, the new wingspan characteristics could also impact their ability to avoid predators（捕食者）, as the predator-prey dynamics are often based on the birds' original physical characteristics. 12. What did the researchers from the University of Guelph and Michigan do? A. They studied bird migration patterns over 40 years. B. They analyzed data on many birds of various species. C. They observed bird behavior during warmer climates. D. They investigated the changes between different birds. 13. Why do birds' wingspans increase slightly according to the passage? A. To attract mates by expanding the body size. B. To adapt well to the changing environment. C. To fly more efficiently in warmer climates. D. To improve the predator avoidance abilities. 14. What does the author want to convey by mentioning Dr. Ryan Norris's remarks? A. Rising temperatures affect bird size and wingspan. B. Birds are sensitive to rising climate than assumed. C. The habitat shifting primarily drives bird evolution. D. Birds change in wingspan mainly for food competition. 15. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Large bird species may become extinct. B. Some birds may face survival challenges. C Birds will have even more food sources. D. Birds will be free from their predators. 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。 Just as your body needs exercise to stay healthy, so does your brain.

At approximately five eight inches, Maggie was the tallest in our fifth-grade class and actually taller than all the students in the school. Despite her frightening height, Maggie’s attitude was the real problem. She teased everyone, from helpless third-graders to boys in gym class. Many students secretly remarked that Maggie was all talk and no action, but I was doubtful and cautiously avoided her attention. However, all changed when I went to school one morning with a new hairstyle. It all started when my best friend, Jaime, said my hair looked nice. I sensed Maggie’s sharp look, which made me uncomfortable — but I remained focused on my math worksheet. At noon, in the cafeteria, Maggie walked by and said, “Nice braid (辫子). Someone might cut it off.” What really made me very worried was when Maggie moved her fingers like scissors. I was scared, but what really sent me into a panic was when Maggie moved her fingers to imitate a pair of scissors in motion. My stomach dropped to my knees, and I immediately came up with a plan — hiding in the bathroom after school to avoid meeting Maggie on the way home. As soon as I got home,I told my mother about it uneasily. “Mom, Maggie Jordan wants to cut off my braid,” I said, tears welling up in my eyes. My mother looked at me with concern, saying, “She’s a bully. She takes pleasure in scaring others. Don’t be afraid of her. If she sees that you’re not scared, she’ll stop. I’ll bet she’s like everybody else. Maybe she just wants to fit in but doesn’t know how.” I rolled my mother’s words around in my head. She did have a valid point. Maggie wasn’t so great at making friends. Realizing Maggie might just be a regular fifth-grader longing for friendship beneath her tough appearance, I decided to see if I could befriend her. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day at noon, I spotted Maggie sitting in a corner of the cafeteria. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My schoolmates were shocked to see Maggie and I show up in the gym. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年5月高二年级阶段性测试 英语试卷 （本试卷总分150分，考试时间120分钟。） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1．What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了Selina Birmingham旅舍的周边配套、内部设施、规定、注意事项等。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Our hostel houses 37 thoughtfully designed rooms, each featuring high-quality bedding for a comfortable night’s sleep. Stay connected with WiFi free of charge, and enjoy the positive guest reviews highlighting the cleanliness of our accommodations.(我们的旅舍有37间精心设计的客房，每间客房都配有高品质的床上用品，让您睡得舒适。使用免费WiFi上网，并享受客人对我们住宿清洁度的积极评价。)”可知，房间配备高质量床品，免费WiFi，且客人评价突出清洁度，这些都体现了旅舍的优质服务。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Rules and preferences”下面的内容“Age: 18-50+(年龄：18-50+)”“Playing musical instruments allowed: No(允许演奏乐器：不)”“Gender: No preference(性别：无偏好)”“Pets allowed: No(允许携带宠物：不)”“Tenant type: students, working experts(租户类型：学生、工作专家)”“Smoking allowed: No(允许吸烟：禁止)”“Suitable for couples: Yes(适合情侣：是)”可知，旅舍可接待工作专家，所以法律专家适合租住。旅舍禁止乐器，所以A项排除，禁止养宠物，所以C项排除，“男性老年人”年龄可能超过规则中的“50+”，所以D项排除。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章结尾的“All the successive rental costs can be paid securely through HousingAnywhere.(所有后续的租金都可以通过HousingAnywhere安全支付。)”可知，广告明确说明“所有后续租金可通过平台安全支付”，因此完成交易需通过平台支付。故选D。 B It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 4. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C. Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 5. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 6. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 7. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D. Chance favors the prepared mind. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了自己在学习钢琴过程中的爱与恨以及自己感悟。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was.(这是一个经典的故事：一个孩子从小就被迫学习一种乐器，他们在整个童年时期都在演奏，并与之发展出苦乐参半的关系。对音乐的热爱和对不断挑战的憎恨之间不断的斗争值得吗？对我来说，是的)”可推知，文章讲故事是为了说明孩子们在学乐器方面的挣扎，然后引出介绍自己的情况。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“ I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt.(为了向别人证明一些东西，我感受到了成为最好的人的压力——更具毁灭性的是，为了向自己证明一些东西。我对音乐的兴趣在竞争和怀疑的阳光下生长。)”可知，作者曾经经历了来自自己的巨大压力。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。原文明确提到，作者找到自信的原因是 “I learned that anything I had was good enough”（我明白自己所拥有的一切已经足够好）。这体现的是一种心态的转变 —— 不再以 “做到极致”“超越他人” 为标准，而是接纳自己的现状，认可自身的价值。B. Her training（训练）：文中并未强调训练本身带来了自信，反而提到曾因过度自我批评而滋生厌恶，可见训练并非关键。C. Her compromise（妥协）：作者并未妥协放弃，而是主动调整方向（换老师、为自己演奏创作），不属于妥协。D. Her achievement（成就）：作者明确否定了 “因为变得足够优秀才获得自信”，而是强调对自我的接纳，与成就无关。因此，是作者态度的转变帮助她找到了自信。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. (很难学会去爱一些不是源于爱的东西)”以及文章最后一段“The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.(我对钢琴的爱和恨都是种下的，也是成长的。如果你也学会了憎恨某件事，请记住，有了承诺，它可以被连根拔起，爱可以在它的地方建立一个家。时间总是有的。空间也总是有的)”以及上下文可知，文章通过自己练钢琴的经历领悟到：对东西的爱是可以逐渐培养形成的。由此推知，B项Love is a thing that grows(爱是一种成长的东西)符合文意。故选B项。 C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. . Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 8. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments. C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 9. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The context included in understanding meanings. B. The definitions made by words in communication. C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 10. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people. C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 11. What does the author suggest in communication? A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally. C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日！那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢？这两件事有关系吗？)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(交流不仅仅是言语。还包括这些话是怎么说的，语气，顺序，甚至是某个特定单词的选择)”可推知，第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言不是一种编码。真正的编码与意义有着一一对应的关系。一种声音，一种定义。这就是我们在动物身上看到的情况。威尔逊和斯珀伯解释说：“当发出者和接收者拥有完全相同的编码时，编码交流效果最佳。”人类则不是这样。我们交流的内容比我们所说的单词的定义要多。这是一种推理交流，这意味着我们不仅理解所说的单词，而且理解它们所使用的语境)”可知，理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语是一个很好的例子，说明我们如何用几个简单的词来有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是陈述相反的意思。例如，当玛丽在一个无聊的聚会后说“那很有趣”时，她既不是说聚会真的很有趣，也不是“讽刺地”说聚会很无聊。相反，她在表达一种情感。三个字代替了段落，展示了语言的效率)”可知，玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思，从而说明了反语的特点。故选 D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯珀伯得出结论，人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大，是因为人类有两种独特的能力：语言能力和试图解读他人心理状态的能力。我们为听到的单词寻找语境。我们应该非常善于吸收这种语境来推断意义)” 可推知，作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思，也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。故选C。 D Climate change is having a far-reaching and significant impact on the world's bird species, with a new study revealing that many are shrinking（收缩）in size. This research provides crucial insights into the complex relationship between birds and their changing environment. Researchers from multiple famous universities, such as the University of Guelph and the University of Michigan, carefully examined data on nearly 80,000 individual birds from 52 species across North America. Their in-depth study covered a span（跨度）of over 40 years. During this period, as the global climate continued to warm, with average temperatures steadily rising, a remarkable trend emerged: the birds, on average, became smaller. In addition to the decrease in body size, the birds' wingspans have also increased slightly. Scientists believe this is an adaptation mechanism. In warmer conditions, a larger wingspan can help birds generate more lift with less effort, enabling them to migrate more flexibly in long distances. The study's lead author, Dr. Ryan Norris, noted that the changes in bird size and wingspan are highly likely a direct response to climate change. “Birds are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and these findings suggest that they are evolving in response to rising temperatures,” he said. “Smaller body size may help birds regulate their body temperature more effectively in warmer climates, while the increase in wingspan could aid in their ability to find food and mates over larger areas as habitats shift.” However, the researchers also cautioned that these changes could have negative consequences for some bird species. For instance, smaller-bodied songbirds may have less energy reserves to bear the delicate balance of competition for resources. A bird with an altered wingspan might find it more difficult to compete with its peers for limited food sources or nesting sites. Additionally, the new wingspan characteristics could also impact their ability to avoid predators（捕食者）, as the predator-prey dynamics are often based on the birds' original physical characteristics. 12. What did the researchers from the University of Guelph and Michigan do? A. They studied bird migration patterns over 40 years. B. They analyzed data on many birds of various species. C. They observed bird behavior during warmer climates. D. They investigated the changes between different birds. 13. Why do birds' wingspans increase slightly according to the passage? A. To attract mates by expanding the body size. B. To adapt well to the changing environment. C. To fly more efficiently in warmer climates. D. To improve the predator avoidance abilities. 14. What does the author want to convey by mentioning Dr. Ryan Norris's remarks? A. Rising temperatures affect bird size and wingspan. B. Birds are sensitive to rising climate than assumed. C. The habitat shifting primarily drives bird evolution. D. Birds change in wingspan mainly for food competition. 15. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Large bird species may become extinct. B. Some birds may face survival challenges. C Birds will have even more food sources. D. Birds will be free from their predators. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了气候变化对世界鸟类物种产生了深远而重大的影响，研究发现许多鸟类的体型在变小，翼展在增加，以及这些变化可能带来的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers from multiple famous universities, such as the University of Guelph and the University of Michigan, carefully examined data on nearly 80,000 individual birds from 52 species across North America.(来自圭尔夫大学和密歇根大学等多所著名大学的研究人员仔细研究了来自北美 52 个物种的近 8 万只个体鸟类的数据)”可知，他们分析了许多不同物种鸟类的数据。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “During this period, as the global climate continued to warm, with average temperatures steadily rising, a remarkable trend emerged: the birds, on average, became smaller. In addition to the decrease in body size, the birds' wingspans have also increased slightly. Scientists believe this is an adaptation mechanism.(在此期间，随着全球气候持续变暖，平均气温稳步上升，一个显著的趋势出现了：鸟类平均变小了。除了体型减小之外，这些鸟的翼展也略有增加。科学家认为这是一种适应机制。)”可知，鸟类翼展增加是为了适应不断变化的环境。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 “The study's lead author,  Dr. Ryan Norris, noted that the changes in bird size and wingspan are highly likely a direct response to climate change. “Birds are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and these findings suggest that they are evolving in response to rising temperatures,” he said.(研究报告的主要作者瑞安・诺里斯博士指出，鸟类体型和翼展的变化很可能是对气候变化的直接反应。他说：“鸟类对环境变化高度敏感，这些发现表明它们是随着气温上升而进化的”)”可推知，作者提到瑞安・诺里斯博士的话是为了说明气温上升影响了鸟类的体型和翼展。故选 A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “However, the researchers also cautioned that these changes could have negative consequences for some bird species. For instance, smaller-bodied songbirds may have less energy reserves to bear the delicate balance of competition for resources. A bird with an altered wingspan might find it more difficult to compete with its peers for limited food sources or nesting sites. Additionally, the new wingspan characteristics could also impact their ability to avoid predators（捕食者）, as the predator-prey dynamics are often based on the birds' original physical characteristics.(然而，研究人员也警告说，这些变化可能会对一些鸟类产生负面影响。例如，体型较小的鸣禽可能有较少的能量储备来维持资源竞争的微妙平衡。翼展改变的鸟类可能会发现与同类竞争有限的食物来源或筑巢地点更加困难。此外，新的翼展特征也会影响它们躲避捕食者的能力，因为捕食者-猎物的动态通常是基于鸟类原有的身体特征)”可推知，作者在最后一段想要告诉我们一些鸟类可能面临生存挑战。故选 B。 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。 Just as your body needs exercise to stay healthy, so does your brain.

At approximately five eight inches, Maggie was the tallest in our fifth-grade class and actually taller than all the students in the school. Despite her frightening height, Maggie’s attitude was the real problem. She teased everyone, from helpless third-graders to boys in gym class. Many students secretly remarked that Maggie was all talk and no action, but I was doubtful and cautiously avoided her attention. However, all changed when I went to school one morning with a new hairstyle. It all started when my best friend, Jaime, said my hair looked nice. I sensed Maggie’s sharp look, which made me uncomfortable — but I remained focused on my math worksheet. At noon, in the cafeteria, Maggie walked by and said, “Nice braid (辫子). Someone might cut it off.” What really made me very worried was when Maggie moved her fingers like scissors. I was scared, but what really sent me into a panic was when Maggie moved her fingers to imitate a pair of scissors in motion. My stomach dropped to my knees, and I immediately came up with a plan — hiding in the bathroom after school to avoid meeting Maggie on the way home. As soon as I got home,I told my mother about it uneasily. “Mom, Maggie Jordan wants to cut off my braid,” I said, tears welling up in my eyes. My mother looked at me with concern, saying, “She’s a bully. She takes pleasure in scaring others. Don’t be afraid of her. If she sees that you’re not scared, she’ll stop. I’ll bet she’s like everybody else. Maybe she just wants to fit in but doesn’t know how.” I rolled my mother’s words around in my head. She did have a valid point. Maggie wasn’t so great at making friends. Realizing Maggie might just be a regular fifth-grader longing for friendship beneath her tough appearance, I decided to see if I could befriend her. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day at noon, I spotted Maggie sitting in a corner of the cafeteria. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My schoolmates were shocked to see Maggie and I show up in the gym. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The next day at noon, I spotted Maggie sitting in a corner of the cafeteria. Drawing a deep breath and gathering all my courage, I approached Maggie inch by inch. I resolved to take an even bolder step and extended my genuine invitation. “Maggie, there’s a basketball game after school. Would you like to join us?” I asked in a tentative tone. Actually, I was more proud of myself for reaching out than nervous. Maggie looked at me with a frown, yet, to my surprise, she didn’t reject me. Instead, she gave me a smile and nodded YES. My schoolmates were shocked to see Maggie and I show up in the gym. They had no idea at all how and why I had managed to bring Maggie here. Sensing their confusion, I smiled and presented her to everyone. At first, the atmosphere was a little tense. As the activity progressed, we gradually began to relax. It was Maggie’s team spirit and creativity that won our admiration for her completely. Seeing Maggie and the schoolmates playing joyfully, I came to understand that behind her tough outside was a regular fifth-grader who wanted nothing but to be accepted. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。自从Maggie转到学校后，学校就成了让作者不舒服的地方。Maggie的毒舌让许多人避而远之。有一天Maggie说作者的辫子可能会被剪掉，还用手做出要剪的动作，这让作者很害怕。作者告诉了妈妈，妈妈的话让作者意识到Maggie可能不擅长交朋友，她也渴望融入大家。于是作者主动向Maggie发出了球赛邀请，这让Maggie很快和大家玩到一块。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“第二天中午，我看见Maggie坐在食堂的一个角落里。”可知，第一段主要描述作者向Maggie发出球赛邀请，Maggie答应。 ②由续写第二段首句“看到我和Maggie出现在体育馆里，我的同学们都很震惊。”可知，第二段可描写同学们见到Maggie后的态度转变以及Maggie成功融入大家。 2. 段落续写： 向Maggie发出邀请——Maggie接受——作者和Maggie一起出现在体育馆——介绍Maggie给大家——同学们态度改变——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①靠近：approach/draw near to ②决定：resolve/make up one’s mind ③介绍：present/introduce 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②困惑：confusion/puzzlement ③高兴地：joyfully/with delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was Maggie’s team spirit and creativity that won our admiration for her completely.(使用了It was…that…强调句型) 【高分句型2】Seeing Maggie and the schoolmates playing joyfully, I came to understand that behind her tough outside was a regular fifth-grader who wanted nothing but to be accepted.
