A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了牛津大学暑期课程的申请须知，包括其课程设置、讲师信息及申请关键事项等信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Are you interested in exploring the world of business, or planning to study Economics at university? (你对探索商业世界感兴趣吗？还是正计划在大学攻读经济学专业)”可推知，这个项目的主要目标受众是想要探索商业或者经济学的高中生。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Instructors部分的“Isabella Menca: She studied Economics at the University of Oxford and has a special knowledge of the commercial legal system. (Isabella Menca：她毕业于牛津大学经济学专业，对商业法律体系具有深厚的专业知识)”可知，Isabella Menca是商业法律方面的专家。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Key facts部分的“Fees: £7,000 for native students, £7,100 for overseas students (学费：本地学生7000英镑，海外学生7100英镑)”可知，本国学生的费用比留学生的费用低一些。故选A项。 B For centuries, the Scottish Highlands have been silent without the howl of wolves. Cruel hunting had wiped them out by the 18th century, causing an ecological crisis. Without natural killers, red deer populations exploded, destroying young trees and reducing native woodlands to less than 4% of Scotland’s land — the lowest in Europe. Now, scientists propose reintroducing wolves to restore balance. Killers as they are, wolves are a “keystone” species: a brick in the arch (拱门) that holds its entire structure in place. In the US, bringing wolves back to several national ecosystems, most famously in Yellowstone National Park, has borne rich fruits. Releasing wolves in four Scottish regions could decrease deer density (密度) from 20 to 4 per square kilometer within two decades. A stable wolf population of around 167 would allow woodlands to regenerate naturally. “The climate and biodiversity crises can’t be tackled separately,” says environmental scientist Dominick Spracklen. “Species reintroduction serves as an essential strategy to restore degraded ecosystems, which in turn can deliver co-benefits for climate and nature recovery.” The scientists estimate each wolf can potentially restore enough woodlands to absorb 6,702 tons of CO2​ annually, worth about $195,000 in today’s carbon market, which indicates that the following expansion of native woodlands would store 100 million tons of CO2​ over 100 years, making an important contribution to national climate targets. Furthermore, mass expansion of woodlands, facilitated through the return of wolves, could provide potential economic benefits to landowners and communities through carbon finance (金融). However, challenges remain. Ecologist and farmer Lee Schofield voiced his worry, “Wolves pose a massive threat to the local residents’ lives. Human-wildlife conflicts are common and must be addressed through public policies that account for people’s attitudes.” Dominick believes lessons learned from the US and European wolf reintroductions will help here and, while wolves’ fearsome reputation remains, ecosystem collapse and extreme climate change are hardly toothless options. 4. What is the root cause of the ecological crisis in the Scottish Highlands? A. Human killing of wolves. B. Industrial pollution. C. Explosion of deer populations. D. Loss of native woodlands. 5. Why does the author mention Yellowstone National Park? A. To erase doubts about keystone species. B. To show the success of wolf reintroduction. C. To compare methods of reducing deer density. D. To interpret how to maintain ecological balance. 6. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The benefits of wolves’ return. B. The effects of forests on climate. C. The importance of carbon finance. D. The link between wolves and economy. 7. In which aspect do wolves mainly threaten locals according to Lee Schofield? A. Reputation. B. Psychology. C. Property. D. Security. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家提议在苏格兰重新引入狼群以恢复生态平衡，并分析了其生态与经济价值及面临的挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Cruel hunting had wiped them out by the 18th century, causing an ecological crisis. (到18世纪时，残酷的猎杀已经将它们赶尽杀绝，从而引发了一场生态危机)”可知，苏格兰高地生态危机的根本原因是人类对狼的捕杀。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Killers as they are, wolves are a “keystone” species: a brick in the arch (拱门) that holds its entire structure in place. In the US, bringing wolves back to several national ecosystems, most famously in Yellowstone National Park, has borne rich fruits. (尽管狼是食肉动物，但它们却是“关键”物种：就如同拱门上的一块砖，支撑着整个生态结构的稳定。在美国，将狼重新引入多个国家生态系统，其中最著名的当属黄石国家公园，这一举措已取得了丰硕的成果)”可推知，作者提到黄石国家公园是为了展示重新引入狼这一举措的成功。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The scientists estimate each wolf can potentially restore enough woodlands to absorb 6,702 tons of CO2 annually, worth about $195,000 in today’s carbon market, which indicates that the following expansion of native woodlands would store 100 million tons of CO2 over 100 years, making an important contribution to national climate targets. Furthermore, mass expansion of woodlands, facilitated through the return of wolves, could provide potential economic benefits to landowners and communities through carbon finance. (科学家们估计，每只狼每年可能恢复足够的林地，吸收6702吨二氧化碳，在当今的碳市场上价值约19.5万美元，这表明未来100年原生林地的扩张将储存1亿吨二氧化碳，为国家气候目标做出重要贡献。此外，通过狼的回归促进林地的大规模扩张，可以通过碳金融为土地所有者和社区提供潜在的经济利益)”可知，第四段主要讲述了狼回归带来的好处。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Ecologist and farmer Lee Schofield voiced his worry, “Wolves pose a massive threat to the local residents’ lives. Human-wildlife conflicts are common and must be addressed through public policies that account for people’s attitudes.” (生态学家兼农民李·斯科菲尔德表达了他的担忧：“狼对当地居民的生命构成了巨大威胁。人与野生动物的冲突很常见，必须通过考虑人们态度的公共政策来解决。”)”可知，根据李·斯科菲尔德的说法，狼主要在安全方面威胁当地人。故选D。 C Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle through, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 9. What did Lingchong You find in his study? A. How sponges are exactly structured. B. What encourages bacterial growth. C. How bacteria react to the environment. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other. 10. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive, C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely distributed. 11. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria. C. Methods to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了细菌在厨房海绵中的生存情况，包括细菌的生长环境、种类、对人类的潜在影响以及海绵的特殊结构如何成为细菌生长的理想场所。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life.(细菌知道如何在地球上的各个地方顽强生存。不过，要是问它们最想在哪里定居，厨房海绵可能会高居榜首。没错，事实证明，我们用来清洗盘子的这个工具，温暖、潮湿，还满是富有营养的食物碎屑，其实充满了微小的生命。)”可知，大多数细菌它们真正想在哪里定居，厨房海绵可能会排在首位，事实证明，我们用来清洗盘子的这个温暖、潮湿且充满营养食物碎屑的工具，充满了微小的生命（细菌）。由此可知，厨房海绵是细菌的好家园。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth.(他发现，海绵上那些大小各异的孔隙对于促进细菌生长至关重要。)”可知，Lingchong You发现不同大小孔隙的海绵对促进细菌生长起着重要作用，也就是他发现了什么能促进细菌生长。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan.(2017年，食品安全领域的教授Jennifer Quinlan和她的同事们从100个家庭中收集了厨房海绵，发现这些海绵中只有1%到2%含有与人类食物中毒相关的细菌，而且确实含有有害细菌的海绵中，有害细菌的含量也很少。Quinlan说：“海绵上绝大多数细菌不会致病，它们只是会让海绵产生异味。)”可知，Quinlan 认为海绵上绝大多数细菌不会引发疾病，只有极少数海绵含有与人类食物中毒有关的细菌，而且这些细菌的含量也很少，所以她认为海绵上的细菌相对无害。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case.(事情还不止如此。如果危险的细菌碰巧来到了海绵上，海绵特殊的构造会使它成为这些细菌生长和繁殖的理想场所。而且有证据表明情况确实如此。)”可知，由于最后一段提到有证据表明危险细菌会在海绵上生长繁殖，所以接下来很可能会讨论细菌威胁的证据具体是什么。故选A。 D Echo chambers (信息茧房) have become a topic of concern in the digital age. They refer to environments where individuals are only exposed to opinions similar to their own, and different perspectives are rarely considered. Many believe that echo chambers limit intellectual growth, which can be damaging to our understanding of diverse viewpoints. However, recent studies have questioned the extent to which echo chambers truly exist in digital technologies. Some articles even doubt their existence, suggesting that the claim of digital media habits making our prejudices stronger is itself a prejudiced statement. The truth seems to be more complex. A survey of Internet users found that individuals with a deeper understanding of their interests and better digital skills are more capable of seeking out diverse opinions. On the other hand, those who lack these skills may experience cognitive (认知) stress, leading to a narrow focus in their information search. Social media behavior analysis provides further insight. One study of Twitter users revealed that while most users shared a range of opinions, the most active one percent displayed highly polarized (两极化的) views, which were followed more widely. This indicates that echo chambers may have a significant impact on opinion spread. People who frequently express strong opinions receive more reinforcement, leading to increased polarization. This effect is made stronger by social media that promote content similar to one’s existing views. The available evidence does suggest that echo chambers exist, although not all digital communication occurs within them, but the research suggests that they have a disproportionate influence on the spread of opinions and may well be a product of the type of reinforcement experienced and delivered digitally. They will generate a reduced range of more polarized views, and they cannot be ignored — even if that is an uncomfortable fact for media companies keen to promote themselves as defenders of free speech. 12. In paragraph 1, a definition is given to ______. A. respond to a concern B. compare different perspectives C. address a warning of a problem D. introduce different views on echo chambers 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Prejudices contribute to echo chambers. B. Diverse opinions confuse Internet users. C Media habits tend to become increasingly complex. D. Digital skills can help avoid narrow information acquisition. 14. What’s a cause of polarized view? A. Social media promotion, B. Contrast in existing views. C. Inappropriate online behavior. D. Instant digital communication, 15. What’s the best title of the text? A. Are We Ready for the Digital Age? B. Arc Echo Chambers Really in Existence? C. How Can Media Companies Support Free Speech? D. How Are People Influenced by the Spread of Opinions? 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了信息茧房在数字时代是否真实存在及其影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Echo chambers (信息茧房) have become a topic of concern in the digital age. They refer to environments where individuals are only exposed to opinions similar to their own, and different perspectives are rarely considered.(在数字时代，信息茧房已经成为一个备受关注的话题。它们指的是个人只接触到与自己观点相似的环境，而很少考虑不同的观点)”以及第二段中“However, recent studies have questioned the extent to which echo chambers truly exist in digital technologies.(然而，最近的研究质疑回音室在数字技术中真正存在的程度。)”可推知，第一段给出了信息茧房的定义，是为了引入对信息茧房的不同看法，为后文讨论做铺垫。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A survey of Internet users found that individuals with a deeper understanding of their interests and better digital skills are more capable of seeking out diverse opinions. On the other hand, those who lack these skills may experience cognitive (认知) stress, leading to a narrow focus in their information search.(一项对互联网用户的调查发现，对自己的兴趣有更深入的了解和更好的数字技能的人更有能力寻求不同的意见。另一方面，那些缺乏这些技能的人可能会经历认知压力，导致他们在搜索信息时注意力范围狭窄)”可推知，数字技能可以帮助避免狭窄的信息获取。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“People who frequently express strong opinions receive more reinforcement, leading to increased polarization. This effect is made stronger by social media that promote content similar to one’s existing views.(经常表达强烈观点的人会得到更多的强化，从而导致观点更加极化。社交媒体会推广与人们现有观点相似的内容，从而加剧了这种效应)”可知，社交媒体的推广是导致观点两极化的一个原因。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Echo chambers (信息茧房) have become a topic of concern in the digital age.(在数字时代，信息茧房已经成为一个备受关注的话题)”，第二段的“However, recent studies have questioned the extent to which echo chambers truly exist in digital technologies.(然而，最近的研究对信息茧房在数字技术中真正存在的程度提出了质疑)”以及结合文章可知，主要讨论了信息茧房在数字时代是否真实存在及其影响。可知，B选项“信息茧房真的存在吗？”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Books often struggle to engage modern readers, and this can be especially true for nonfiction. For many people, it’s less exciting and less emotional than fiction. However, the problem may not be with nonfiction, but how they read it. Some people start a nonfiction book but quit after reading a few chapters. They read probably because someone gives them the book or everyone is reading it. That’s not helpful to stay in a committed relationship with nonfiction.____16____No matter what yours is, write it down before starting to read. It’ll prepare your mind on what to look for in that book. If you’re already a fiction reader, start with narrative nonfiction, which carries a strong storytelling element. This kind of writing is so engaging that you may almost forget the story being told is factual. ___17___However, if you still feel burdened by an entire book, an anthology (选集) might be a perfect solution. As collections of shorter pieces, anthologies aim to bring together the best writing on a particular subject.____18____Once you’re drawn in, you’ll find more to read. ____19____For those who prefer highlighting and taking notes, a physical book may be a nice choice. In contrast, e-books are ideal if portability (便携性) or the ability to adjust the text are your priorities. However, if you’re already a listener to nonfiction recorded programs, audio books might be the perfect fit for you. Reading nonfiction can be challenging, but remember there’s always a book on the topic that interests you. It may be about historical events that shape our lives or stories where truth outshines fiction.____20____ A. So it requires a personal insight into the book. B. Some of the pieces are sure to grab your interest. C. It’s a natural bridge between fiction and nonfiction. D. Instead, you should have a clear objective of reading. E. Reading habits affect our selections of nonfiction topics. F. Choosing suitable formats is also key to enjoying nonfiction. G. Whichever it is, the time spent on nonfiction can be rewarding. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读非虚构类书籍的一些方法和好处。 【16题详解】 上文“They read probably because someone gives them the book or everyone is reading it. That’s not helpful to stay in a committed relationship with nonfiction.(他们读这本书可能是因为别人给了他们这本书，或者每个人都在读。这不利于与非虚构类书籍保持密切关系)”说明读者随意开始阅读非虚构类书籍不利于深入阅读，空处和前文为转折关系，说明读者应该有明确的阅读目标，并引出下文设定目标的具体做法。所以D项“相反，你应该有一个明确的阅读目标”符合语境。而下文中的it指代该项中的“a clear objective of reading”。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“If you’re already a fiction reader, start with narrative nonfiction, which carries a strong storytelling element. This kind of writing is so engaging that you may almost forget the story being told is factual.(如果你已经是一个小说读者，那就从叙事性非虚构作品开始，它具有很强的叙事元素。这种写作方式非常吸引人，以至于你可能会忘记所讲的故事是真实的)”说明叙事性非虚构类书籍带有很强的故事性，很吸引人。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明叙事性非虚构作品的作用。所以C项“它是小说和非虚构作品之间的天然桥梁”符合语境，It指代前文中的“narrative nonfiction”。故选C。 【18题详解】 上文“As collections of shorter pieces, anthologies aim to bring together the best writing on a particular subject.(作为短篇作品的集合，选集旨在汇集关于某一特定主题的最佳作品)”以及下文“Once you’re drawn in, you’ll find more to read.(一旦你被吸引住了，你会发现更多可读的东西)”说明选集的特点是汇集特定主题的最佳作品，而且你会被吸引。空处承上启下，说明选集中的一些作品肯定会吸引读者的兴趣。 所以B项“其中一些作品肯定会吸引你的兴趣。”符合语境。“Some of the pieces”和上文“collections of shorter pieces”相呼应，而“grab your interest”和下文“Once you’re drawn in”相呼应。故选B。 【19题详解】 下文“For those who prefer highlighting and taking notes, a physical book may be a nice choice. In contrast, e-books are ideal if portability (便携性) or the ability to adjust the text are your priorities. However, if you’re already a listener to nonfiction recorded programs, audio books might be the perfect fit for you.(对于那些喜欢划重点和做笔记的人来说，纸质书可能是一个不错的选择。相反，如果便携性或调整文本的能力是你的首要考虑，那么电子书是理想的选择。然而，如果你已经是非虚构类录音节目的听众，有声书可能是最适合你的)”说明选择合适的阅读格式对享受非虚构类作品也很重要，空处位于段首，说明本段的主题为选择合适的阅读格式。所以F项“选择合适的格式也是享受非虚构作品的关键”符合语境。故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“Reading nonfiction can be challenging, but remember there’s always a book on the topic that interests you. It may be about historical events that shape our lives or stories where truth outshines fiction.(阅读非虚构作品可能具有挑战性，但请记住，总有一本关于你感兴趣的主题的书。它可能是关于塑造我们生活的历史事件，也可能是真相超越虚构的故事)”说明总有一本关于你感兴趣的主题的非虚构作品值得阅读，空处和前文为顺接关系，说明阅读非虚构作品都是值得的。所以G项“无论是什么主题，花在阅读非虚构作品上的时间都是值得的”符合语境，该项中的it指代前文的“a book on the topic that interests you”。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The story of Brave Gelert is known to many people.

He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore located near the river through the city. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, intending to buy those books. As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor family, the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold in the winter wind. “I wish you a happy New Year,” cried Edward as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly. Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country.” The man again shook his head, a confused expression flashed over his face, for he could not understand or speak English. But the poor man pointed to his dry mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” 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。 Edward realized that these poor people were in trouble. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Edward realized that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. A wave of inexpressible warmth and gratitude came flooding when the man reached out his shivering hands for the shiny dollars. Taking a firm grip of them in one hand and holding Edward’s hand warmly, he stammered out words of thanks in his broken English. After wishing them a peaceful and happy New Year, Edward went back home. The moment he reached home, he couldn’t wait to share with his father his act of charity. Hearing that, his father gave him a thumb up. “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” He continued with satisfaction, “They are a reward for your kindness to people in need. You do deserve them.” Looking intently at what may be the best he had ever received, Edward felt an immense pride in himself, which flowed all over his body. Since then, these books given by his father have been serving as a constant reminder of the importance of lending a helping hand to others in trouble whenever he could. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。本文讲述了一个名叫Edward的小男孩在新年早晨的经历。他急切地想要成为第一个向家人和朋友送上新年祝福的人，并因此得到了父亲给他的50美元去买书。然而，当他看到一个贫困家庭在寒风中挨饿时，他决定把钱全部给他们。这个故事展现了Edward的善良和无私，以及他父亲对他的肯定和奖励。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“Edward意识到这些可怜的人遇到了麻烦。”可知，第一段应描写Edward如何帮助这个贫困家庭的过程，以及他内心的感受。 ② 由第二段首句“‘我的好孩子，’他的父亲说，‘这里有十二本书送给你。’”可知，第二段应描写父亲对Edward的奖励和鼓励，以及Edward的感受和感悟。 2. 续写线索： 发现贫困家庭——决定帮助——给予金钱——父亲的奖励——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ① 交给：give/hand ② 返回：go back/return ③ 颤抖：shiver/shake 情绪类： ① 感谢：thanks/appreciation ② 满意地：with satisfaction/satisfiedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】A wave of inexpressible warmth and gratitude came flooding when the man reached out his shivering hands for the shiny dollars.（运用了现在分词作状语和when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Looking intently at what may be the best he had ever received, Edward felt an immense pride in himself, which flowed all over his body.（运用了现在分词作状语、what引导的宾语从句和which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第二学期高一年级阶段检测 英语 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） 1.

Cruel hunting had wiped them out by the 18th century, causing an ecological crisis. Without natural killers, red deer populations exploded, destroying young trees and reducing native woodlands to less than 4% of Scotland’s land — the lowest in Europe. Now, scientists propose reintroducing wolves to restore balance. Killers as they are, wolves are a “keystone” species: a brick in the arch (拱门) that holds its entire structure in place. In the US, bringing wolves back to several national ecosystems, most famously in Yellowstone National Park, has borne rich fruits. Releasing wolves in four Scottish regions could decrease deer density (密度) from 20 to 4 per square kilometer within two decades. A stable wolf population of around 167 would allow woodlands to regenerate naturally. “The climate and biodiversity crises can’t be tackled separately,” says environmental scientist Dominick Spracklen. “Species reintroduction serves as an essential strategy to restore degraded ecosystems, which in turn can deliver co-benefits for climate and nature recovery.” The scientists estimate each wolf can potentially restore enough woodlands to absorb 6,702 tons of CO2​ annually, worth about $195,000 in today’s carbon market, which indicates that the following expansion of native woodlands would store 100 million tons of CO2​ over 100 years, making an important contribution to national climate targets. Furthermore, mass expansion of woodlands, facilitated through the return of wolves, could provide potential economic benefits to landowners and communities through carbon finance (金融). However, challenges remain. Ecologist and farmer Lee Schofield voiced his worry, “Wolves pose a massive threat to the local residents’ lives. Human-wildlife conflicts are common and must be addressed through public policies that account for people’s attitudes.” Dominick believes lessons learned from the US and European wolf reintroductions will help here and, while wolves’ fearsome reputation remains, ecosystem collapse and extreme climate change are hardly toothless options. 4. What is the root cause of the ecological crisis in the Scottish Highlands? A. Human killing of wolves. B. Industrial pollution. C. Explosion of deer populations. D. Loss of native woodlands. 5. Why does the author mention Yellowstone National Park? A. To erase doubts about keystone species. B. To show the success of wolf reintroduction. C. To compare methods of reducing deer density. D. To interpret how to maintain ecological balance. 6. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The benefits of wolves’ return. B. The effects of forests on climate. C. The importance of carbon finance. D. The link between wolves and economy. 7. In which aspect do wolves mainly threaten locals according to Lee Schofield? A. Reputation. B. Psychology. C. Property. D. Security. C Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle through, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 9. What did Lingchong You find in his study? A. How sponges are exactly structured. B. What encourages bacterial growth. C. How bacteria react to the environment. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other. 10. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive, C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely distributed. 11. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria. C. Methods to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria. D Echo chambers (信息茧房) have become a topic of concern in the digital age. They refer to environments where individuals are only exposed to opinions similar to their own, and different perspectives are rarely considered. Many believe that echo chambers limit intellectual growth, which can be damaging to our understanding of diverse viewpoints. However, recent studies have questioned the extent to which echo chambers truly exist in digital technologies. Some articles even doubt their existence, suggesting that the claim of digital media habits making our prejudices stronger is itself a prejudiced statement. The truth seems to be more complex. A survey of Internet users found that individuals with a deeper understanding of their interests and better digital skills are more capable of seeking out diverse opinions. On the other hand, those who lack these skills may experience cognitive (认知) stress, leading to a narrow focus in their information search. Social media behavior analysis provides further insight. One study of Twitter users revealed that while most users shared a range of opinions, the most active one percent displayed highly polarized (两极化的) views, which were followed more widely. This indicates that echo chambers may have a significant impact on opinion spread. People who frequently express strong opinions receive more reinforcement, leading to increased polarization. This effect is made stronger by social media that promote content similar to one’s existing views. The available evidence does suggest that echo chambers exist, although not all digital communication occurs within them, but the research suggests that they have a disproportionate influence on the spread of opinions and may well be a product of the type of reinforcement experienced and delivered digitally. They will generate a reduced range of more polarized views, and they cannot be ignored — even if that is an uncomfortable fact for media companies keen to promote themselves as defenders of free speech. 12. In paragraph 1, a definition is given to ______. A. respond to a concern B. compare different perspectives C. address a warning of a problem D. introduce different views on echo chambers 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Prejudices contribute to echo chambers. B. Diverse opinions confuse Internet users. C. Media habits tend to become increasingly complex. D Digital skills can help avoid narrow information acquisition. 14. What’s a cause of polarized view? A. Social media promotion, B. Contrast in existing views. C. Inappropriate online behavior. D. Instant digital communication, 15. What’s the best title of the text? A. Are We Ready for the Digital Age? B. Arc Echo Chambers Really in Existence? C How Can Media Companies Support Free Speech? D. How Are People Influenced by the Spread of Opinions? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Books often struggle to engage modern readers and this can be especially true for nonfiction. For many people, it’s less exciting and less emotional than fiction. However, the problem may not be with nonfiction, but how they read it. Some people start a nonfiction book but quit after reading a few chapters. They read probably because someone gives them the book or everyone is reading it. That’s not helpful to stay in a committed relationship with nonfiction.____16____No matter what yours is, write it down before starting to read.

He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore located near the river through the city. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, intending to buy those books. As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor family, the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold in the winter wind. “I wish you a happy New Year,” cried Edward as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly. Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country.” The man again shook his head, a confused expression flashed over his face, for he could not understand or speak English. But the poor man pointed to his dry mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” 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。 Edward realized that these poor people were in trouble. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
