I’m your old friend Lisa Brown. Tonight, I’d like to tell you about a new site for tourists in the northern Philippines. A long-lasting drought has caused water in a dam there to disappear. As a result, the ruins of a centuries-old town showed up. The dried-up dam has exposed the foundations of some old buildings. This new-found sight immediately drew the attention of the locals. Residents like Aurea Delos Santos, a retired nurse, express excitement at the sight. It has become an attraction for them and foreign tourists. Therefore, it serves as an additional source of income in an area relying on agriculture. Some locals, like the fisherman Nelson Dellera, have taken the opportunity to profit by taking tourists to the site. The old town had been moved somewhere else in the 1970s during the dam’s construction. The dam now plays an important role in providing water to the region, so the appearance of the site has also caused some concerns. Locals hope the dam will be filled with water again. That’s all for tonight’s program. Thank you for your listening. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Are you ready to unlock your full career potential?

Seven contributions have come in. They are long or short, emotional or matter-of-fact, and now my job will be to cut and select, rephrase and quote, and count words from each contributor- our entire collection will have to add up to no more than six hundred and fifty words. The tough part is trying to give more or less equal space to each of these life accounts, since some of us tend to relate incidents in great detail while others are tight-lipped. If nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words. If another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five. Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey? The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble (拼字游戏) competition? Why did I decide I would not mind being a class-notes agent? I suppose I pursue any piece of writing for two main reasons. First, I like the challenge of trying a new form. In this case, my task is to rearrange the writings of a range of personalities to create one fairly smooth whole. The second reason is always emotional. Here, one source of my emotion was the years-long experience of the school itself. I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being: “You’re a writer. “ As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I’ve never stopped valuing every moment in this job. For me, my classmates are still full of youthful energy, passion, or disgust or tearful hurt. I’m not sure I’m naturally gifted at turning all these colorful details into a brief and entertaining account. That’s how I do it — quote their own words as often as I can. 24. What does the author need to do with the contributions? A. Edit and adjust them. B. Collect and grade them. C. Ensure the variety of them. D. Add personal comments to them. 25. How does the author explain the difficulty of the job? A. By citing quotes. B. By listing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definitions. 26. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. She prioritizes new forms. B. She prefers emotional writing. C. She is hesitant about the role. D. She is acknowledged by her classmates. 27. What does the author think of the job? A. It’s stressful. B. It’s worthwhile. C. It’s straightforward. D. It’s troublesome. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者作为班级笔记编辑，负责收集、整理和编辑同学们投稿的班级笔记的工作内容和感受。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“They are long or short, emotional or matter-of-fact, and now my job will be to cut and select, rephrase and quote, and count words from each contributor- our entire collection will have to add up to no more than six hundred and fifty words. (它们有长有短，有情感上的，也有事实上的，现在我的工作将是剪切和选择，重新措辞和引用，并计算每个投稿人的字数——我们的整个合集加起来不得超过650字)”可知，作者需要对投稿进行编辑和调整。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The tough part is trying to give more or less equal space to each of these life accounts, since some of us tend to relate incidents in great detail while others are tight-lipped. If nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words. If another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five. Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey? The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble (拼字游戏) competition?(最困难的部分是试图为这些生活描述中的每一个提供或多或少相等的空间，因为我们中的一些人倾向于详细地讲述事件，而另一些人则守口如瓶。如果我们九个人，包括我在内，一起写笔记，那么每个笔记都允许有七十多个单词。如果在最后一刻收到另一份捐款，我们都会减少到大约六十五份。我该取消去哥斯达黎加的行程，还是去新泽西看望侄子的行程？最近摔断腿的孙子还是拼字游戏比赛？)”可知，作者通过举例说明了工作的困难。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being: “You’re a writer.” (我也很感动，我的同学推荐我做这份工作，他们明智的理由是：“你是个作家。”)”可推知，作者被她的同学们认可。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I’ve never stopped valuing every moment in this job.(作为一名65岁的女士，我有时会感到疲惫，但我从未停止过珍惜这份工作中的每一刻)”可知，作者珍惜这份工作中的每一刻，由此可推知，作者认为这份工作很值得。故选B。 C Joe Reynolds and Judith Winfrey, the married couple who started Love Farm 13 years ago not far from Downtown Atlanta, are part of a generation of landless American farmers who grow food in rented fields. They work about two acres. It’s not a business model that brings them in enough income to buy their own farm. The Working Farms Fund aims to change that. It buys large areas of farmland in danger of being developed and rents it to farmers, helping them save enough to buy it — with a guarantee that local institutions like universities and hospitals will purchase as much food as the farmers sell. The couple has benefited greatly from that. “What we haven’t figured out is how to expand that model,” said Mindy Goldstein, a professor at Emory University. “Instead of a farm that feeds the neighborhood, we need to think about how these farms can feed cities like Atlanta or Chicago.” In its first effort, the Working Farms Fund is buying 20 to 500 acre plots around Atlanta and restricting them to agricultural land through a conservation easement (地役权). It will rent the land to farmers who have been working with the fund to develop business plans that include saving money to buy their own farm within 10 years. An agricultural easement comes with some unique advantages for the farmers. Because the value of property can decrease by as much as 60 percent when it is withdrawn from the industrial market and becomes agricultural land, it turns into a reasonable price. The goal is to buy at least 12,000 acres of farmland near Atlanta, help start 150 farm businesses and support four or five strong rural farms in the next 20 years. Agricultural trusts that help young farmers buy land aren’t a new concept, but the Working Farms Fund has taken the idea even further. Farmers become part of a network intended to help them create a financially healthy working farm, which could also feed an entire city. 28. Why is the couple mentioned in the beginning? A. To show their achievements. B. To promote their business model. C. To describe US farmers’ challenges. D. To introduce the Working Farms Fund. 29. How does the Working Farms Fund help farmers? A. It provides fund for them. B. It rents the land to them for free. C. It purchases their produce. D. It ensures them a reliable market. 30. What can we learn about the easement? A. It forbids trades in the farmland. B. It makes the farmland affordable. C. It limits the price of the farmland. D. It increases the value of the farmland. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Urban Farms Spring Up All Over B. Make a Neighborhood Farm for a City C. Declining Farmland Becomes a Concern D. Rent Small Farmland to Landless Farmers 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了Working Farms Fund如何通过购买和租赁面临开发威胁的农田，帮助无地农民储蓄购买土地，并确保当地机构采购农产品以提供可靠市场，最终目标是将农场模式从供养社区扩展到供养整个城市。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Joe Reynolds and Judith Winfrey, the married couple who started Love Farm 13 years ago not far from Downtown Atlanta, are part of a generation of landless American farmers who grow food in rented fields. They work about two acres. It’s not a business model that brings them in enough income to buy their own farm.(乔·雷诺兹和朱迪思·温弗瑞这对夫妻于13年前在亚特兰大市中心附近创办了“爱农场”。他们是美国新一代无地农民中的一员，他们在租来的土地上种植作物。他们耕种约两英亩土地。这种经营模式并不能为他们带来足够的收入来购置自己的农场)”和第二段“The Working Farms Fund aims to change that.(工作农场基金旨在改变这种状况)”可知，开头提到了这对夫妇是为了介绍“工作农场基金”。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It buys large areas of farmland in danger of being developed and rents it to farmers, helping them save enough to buy it — with a guarantee that local institutions like universities and hospitals will purchase as much food as the farmers sell.(它会购买那些面临被开发风险的大量农田，并将其出租给农民，帮助他们攒够资金来购买这些土地——同时保证像大学和医院这样的当地机构会购买农民所销售的同等数量的农产品)”可知，工作农场基金为农民提供稳定的市场保障。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“ An agricultural easement comes with some unique advantages for the farmers. Because the value of property can decrease by as much as 60 percent when it is withdrawn from the industrial market and becomes agricultural land, it turns into a reasonable price.(农业地役权对农民有一些独特的优势。因为当房产从工业市场退出并转变为农业用地时，其价值可能会下降多达 60%，但此时价格却变得合理了)”可知，地役权使得农田变得易于耕种且成本更低。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““Instead of a farm that feeds the neighborhood, we need to think about how these farms can feed cities like Atlanta or Chicago.”(“我们需要考虑的不是让农场养活邻居，而是如何让这些农场养活亚特兰大或芝加哥等城市。”)”和最后一段“The goal is to buy at least 12,000 acres of farmland near Atlanta, help start 150 farm businesses and support four or five strong rural farms in the next 20 years. Agricultural trusts that help young farmers buy land aren’t a new concept, but the Working Farms Fund has taken the idea even further. Farmers become part of a network intended to help them create a financially healthy working farm, which could also feed an entire city.(目标是在亚特兰大附近购买至少 12000 英亩的农田，帮助启动 150 家农场企业，并在未来 20 年内扶持四到五个实力雄厚的农村农场。帮助年轻农民购置土地的农业信托并非什么新鲜概念，但“工作农场基金”则将这一理念进一步推进了。农民们成为了一个旨在帮助他们打造财务状况良好的经营农场的网络的一部分，这样的农场甚至能够为整个城市提供食物)”可知，文章核心是探讨将邻里农场升级为城市规模的食物供应模式。B选项“为城市建立一个社区农场”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Beneath the surface of the earth lies a lively, invisible ecosystem full of life, often referred to as the “living skin” of the earth. It is a hidden world where countless organisms (生物体) interact in complex ways, driving essential processes that enable life to survive. They are the unsung heroes of nutrient cycling, soil stability, and even climate balance. Organisms in the soil are both copious and diverse. They range in size from the one-celled bacteria, to the more complex tiny bugs, and to the larger organisms such as insects and plants. Soil microbes (微生物) are too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Bacteria are the most plentiful microbes in soil, with a population of 1010-1011 individuals and 6,000-50,000 species per gram of soil and a biomass of 40-500 grams per square metre. If we are to understand the functions of soil microbes and the impact of management practices on soil quality, we need to analyze microbial community composition beyond just counting individuals. Traditional methods of studying microbes often rely on culturing techniques, which have significant limitations as they can only detect a small part of the microbial community. Advanced genetic (基因的) techniques, such as DNA sequencing and PCR, however, enable the detection and categorization of previously unculturable microbes. These methods enhance our ability to identify shifts in microbial communities, providing critical insights into soil health and functional dynamics. Soil microbes play both beneficial and harmful roles as contributors to soil environmental problems such as climate change and groundwater pollution. The physical chemical, and biological soil characteristics and their interactions with the resident community of soil microbes have a significant impact on the growth and activity of these microbes. As our understanding of these complex relationships develops, we should be able to develop soil management practices that are sustainable and can lead to preservation and improvement of soil quality. 32. What does the “living skin” of the earth mainly do? A. Sustain life on the earth. B. Control microbial population. C. Protect the surface of the earth. D. Monitor changes in the ecosystem. 33. What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Small. B. Active. C. Invisible. D. Plentiful. 34. Why are modern genetic techniques used in studying microbes? A. To identify diverse microbes. B. To simplify microbial counting. C. To help culture more microbes. D. To minimize microbial impact on soil. 35. What can help us to improve soil management practices? A. Removing harmful microbes. B. Distinguishing soil characteristics. C. Understanding soil-microbe interactions. D. Strengthening relationships among microbes. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要揭示了土壤微生物生态系统的重要功能与研究进展。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Beneath the surface of the earth lies a lively, invisible ecosystem full of life, often referred to as the “living skin” of the earth. It is a hidden world where countless organisms (生物体) interact in complex ways, driving essential processes that enable life to survive. They are the unsung heroes of nutrient cycling, soil stability, and even climate balance. (在地球表面之下是一个充满生机的、看不见的、充满生命的生态系统，通常被称为地球的“活皮肤”。这是一个隐秘的世界，无数生物以复杂的方式相互作用，推动着生命得以生存的基本过程。它们是养分循环、土壤稳定甚至气候平衡的无名英雄)”可知，地球的“活皮肤”主要作用是维持地球上的生命。故选A。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Bacteria are the most plentiful microbes in soil, with a population of 1010 -1011 individuals and 6,000-50,000 species per gram of soil and a biomass of 40-500 grams per square metre. (细菌是土壤中最丰富的微生物，每克土壤中有10个10至10个11个体，6000 至 50000种，每平方米的生物量为40至500克)”可知，土壤中微生物数量众多，可推测划线词copious与选项D意思相近，意为“大量的，丰富的”。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Advanced genetic (基因的) techniques, such as DNA sequencing and PCR, however, enable the detection and categorization of previously unculturable microbes. These methods enhance our ability to identify shifts in microbial communities, providing critical insights into soil health and functional dynamics. (然而，先进的遗传技术，如DNA测序和PCR，可以检测和分类以前不可培养的微生物。这些方法增强了我们识别微生物群落变化的能力，为土壤健康和功能动态提供了重要的见解)”可知，使用现代基因技术研究微生物是为了识别多样的微生物。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The physical chemical, and biological soil characteristics and their interactions with the resident community of soil microbes have a significant impact on the growth and activity of these microbes. As our understanding of these complex relationships develops, we should be able to develop soil management practices that are sustainable and can lead to preservation and improvement of soil quality. (土壤的物理、化学和生物特性及其与土壤微生物常驻群落的相互作用对土壤微生物的生长和活性有重要影响。随着我们对这些复杂关系的理解的发展，我们应该能够开发可持续的土壤管理实践，并能导致土壤质量的保护和改善)”可知，了解土壤与微生物的相互作用可以帮助我们改进土壤管理实践。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How can you make sure to have great conversations, especially with people you don’t know well? How do you keep a conversation flowing, especially with someone you’ve just met? Your first and most important step is to make that person feel listened to. ____36____ The No.1 way to make someone feel listened to is to actually listen to them. That may sound stupidly obvious, but it can be hard to actually do. When someone is talking to you about something, especially if what they’re saying doesn’t directly relate to your interests, your mind may want to busy itself with other things. ____37____ The key to better engagement is to push distractions aside and concentrate. The more you can actually focus on what the person is saying, the better you’ ll be able to engage with them. Beyond that, using body language can be very useful. ____38____ Smile at the other person and nod to let them know you understand the points they’re making. You can take it a step further and mirror them, reflecting back their body positioning and posture. ____39____ If focusing on body language distracts you from listening, then it isn’t worth it, in my opinion. In that case, I believe it’s better to just focus on what they’re saying. Chances are, your body language will naturally reflect you really are paying attention. ____40____ It’s a bit like playing tennis, where the objective is to keep the volley going as long as possible. If you always respond to what the other person says with just a word or two, you’ re putting too much pressure on them to keep the conversation going. Conversely, if you take a conversational opening and run with it, launching into a detailed explanation of how your company works or a lengthy anecdote, you’re likely to lose their interest. You effectively shut the other person out of the conversation. A. That’s something most of us desire. B. However, I’ll add a word of warning. C. Make eye contact much but not all of the time. D. It is a great way to learn how to keep the volley going. E. Being good at starting conversations is an essential skill. F. You might start thinking about whether you’re wasting time. G. Then, pay attention to the rhythm and flow of the conversation. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. C 39. B 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何让交谈的对方感觉自己正在被倾听的方法。 【36题详解】 根据前文“How can you make sure to have great conversations, especially with people you don’t know well? How do you keep a conversation flowing, especially with someone you’ve just met? Your first and most important step is to make that person feel listened to.(你怎样才能确保交谈愉快，尤其是和你不太了解的人？如何让谈话保持流畅，尤其是和刚认识的人？你的第一步也是最重要的一步是让那个人觉得你在倾听。)”和后文“The No.1 way to make someone feel listened to is to actually listen to them.(让别人感到被倾听的首要方法是真正倾听他们。)”可知，此处是讲大部分人都希望能做到让交谈的对方感到自己被倾听，所以选项A“这是我们大多数人都渴望的。”切合文意。故选A。 【37题详解】 根据前文“When someone is talking to you about something, especially if what they’re saying doesn’t directly relate to your interests, your mind may want to busy itself with other things.(当有人和你谈论某事时，特别是如果他们所说的与你的兴趣没有直接关系，你的大脑可能会想要忙于其他事情。)”可知，此处是讲当对方说的内容与你的兴趣没有直接关系时，你可能会觉得是在浪费时间，所以选项F“你可能会开始思考你是否在浪费时间。”切合文意。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Beyond that, using body language can be very useful.(除此之外，使用肢体语言也非常有用。)”和后文“Smile at the other person and nod to let them know you understand the points they’re making.(对对方微笑并点头，让他们知道你理解他们的观点。)”可知，此处是在介绍一些有用的肢体语言，所以选项C“多做眼神交流，但不要一直看对方的眼睛。”切合文意。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据前文“You can take it a step further and mirror them, reflecting back their body positioning and posture.(你可以更进一步，镜像他们，反映出他们的身体位置和姿势。)”和后文“If focusing on body language distracts you from listening, then it isn’t worth it, in my opinion.(在我看来，如果专注于肢体语言会分散你倾听的注意力，那就不值得了。)”可知，此处是讲虽然肢体语言非常重要，但仍然要注意专注于肢体语言是否会分散你倾听的注意力，所以选项B“然而，我要加一句警告。”切合文意。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据后文“It’s a bit like playing tennis, where the objective is to keep the volley going as long as possible.(这有点像打网球，目标是让截击尽可能长。)”和“If you always respond to what the other person says with just a word or two, you’ re putting too much pressure on them to keep the conversation going.(如果你总是用一两句话来回应对方的话，你就会给他们施加太大的压力，让谈话无法继续下去。)”可知，此处是讲注意对话的节奏和流畅性，所以选项G“然后，注意对话的节奏和流畅性。”切合文意。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to be an ambitious resolution-maker.

School books were tough for her, and when it came to free time, she stuck to picture books and listened to “Harry Potter” audiobooks. None of these really got her into deep reading, where you stare at words on paper and let your imagination fly. For a while, I had to face the truth: I hadn’t passed on the joy of reading to her. I tried telling her how reading makes life richer, but she shrugged (耸肩) and said, “Lots of my friends don’t like reading either. It’s no big deal.” Things went worse when she got a smartphone last year. Suddenly, my lively child became lazy, always on her phone. I suggested other fun activities, but she just found theme “boring.” I still held out hope for reading, seeing it as a developmental escape. But the problem was that she chose the colorful, noisy world of her phone. Then, right before we left for an 8-day holiday on a beautiful Greek island, we talked about reading again. “Novels are the best way to understand how people feel,” I told her. “I can learn more from social media,” she replied. I mentioned storytelling and history, and she said, “I can watch movies and use the internet.” I even promised to buy her any books she liked, but she smiled and said, “Mama, welcome to your dream.” I realized I couldn’t win. She had good reasons and I couldn’t say she was wrong. Sure, reading opens up new worlds, but so does the whole internet. Still, deep down, I wished she’d experience the pure magic of reading—those special moments when an author says exactly what you’ve always felt but never knew how to express. 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。 So, instead of talking more, I decided to offer a reward. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the holiday, my daughter finished her book and asked for another. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 So, instead of talking more, I decided to offer a reward. “If you finish one novel during this trip, I’ll buy you that art set you’ve been wanting,” I proposed, pointing to the book I’d secretly packed: The Secret Garden. To my surprise, she hesitated but agreed. The Greek island, with its limited Wi-Fi, became the perfect setting. With fewer digital distractions, she reluctantly picked up the book by the pool. Gradually, the vibrant descriptions of the garden and the resilient characters drew her in. By day three, I found her reading under an olive tree, completely absorbed, her phone forgotten beside her. By the end of the holiday, my daughter finished her book and asked for another. Her eyes sparkled as she discussed Mary’s transformation and the magic of the hidden garden. “Can I get A Wrinkle in Time next?” she asked. I smiled, overwhelmed with relief. Later, she even used her phone creatively—taking photos of scenic spots that reminded her of the story and sharing her reading journey online. Watching her connect literature to her world, I realized the true reward wasn’t just the art set; it was witnessing her discover the quiet magic of words, a joy no screen could replicate. Tears welled in my eyes—she’d finally felt what I could never fully explain. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述 “我”12岁的女儿虽然聪明，但不喜欢阅读章节书，觉得学校的书难，空闲时间只看图画书或听有声书。去年她有了智能手机后，更沉迷其中，拒绝“我”提出的其他有趣活动。在去希腊岛度假前，“我”再次尝试说服她阅读，但女儿用各种理由回应，“我”意识到难以说服她，却仍希望她能体验阅读的魅力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“所以，我不再多说了，而是决定奖励。”可知，第一段可描写“我” 决定用奖励的方式鼓励女儿阅读的具体过程。从提出读完一本书就买她想要的美术套装，到女儿犹豫后同意，再描述在希腊岛有限网络环境下，女儿逐渐被《秘密花园》吸引，放下手机沉浸阅读 ②由第二段首句内容“假期结束时，我女儿读完了她的书，又要了一本。”可知，第二段可描写女儿与“我”分享阅读感受，主动要求读下一本书，还用手机创造性地记录与阅读相关的内容，“我”意识到真正的奖励是看到她发现阅读的魅力，“我”为此感到欣慰。 2.续写线索：决定奖励女儿阅读——提出条件女儿同意 ——在希腊岛女儿被书吸引—— 假期结束女儿读完书分享感受并求新读物 ——用手机记录阅读相关内容——“我”欣慰 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提出：propose /put forward ②吸引：draw in /attract ③买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise /astonishment ②快乐：joy /pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Her eyes sparkled as she discussed Mary’s transformation and the magic of the hidden garden.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】Watching her connect literature to her world, I realized the true reward wasn’t just the art set; it was witnessing her discover the quiet magic of words, a joy no screen could replicate.（运用了现在分词 Watching 作伴随状语，以及省略 that 的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025年度高二年级第二学期第二次阶段性检测 英语试卷 说明：1. 本试卷共11页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 请将所有答案填涂或写在答题卡相应的答题处，否则不得分。 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，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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the man do this afternoon?

B These days, I have been gathering contributions for Class Notes from my classmates at the Brearley School. Seven contributions have come in. They are long or short, emotional or matter-of-fact, and now my job will be to cut and select, rephrase and quote, and count words from each contributor- our entire collection will have to add up to no more than six hundred and fifty words. The tough part is trying to give more or less equal space to each of these life accounts, since some of us tend to relate incidents in great detail while others are tight-lipped. If nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words. If another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five. Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey? The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble (拼字游戏) competition? Why did I decide I would not mind being a class-notes agent? I suppose I pursue any piece of writing for two main reasons. First, I like the challenge of trying a new form. In this case, my task is to rearrange the writings of a range of personalities to create one fairly smooth whole. The second reason is always emotional. Here, one source of my emotion was the years-long experience of the school itself. I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being: “You’re a writer. “ As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I’ve never stopped valuing every moment in this job. For me, my classmates are still full of youthful energy, passion, or disgust or tearful hurt. I’m not sure I’m naturally gifted at turning all these colorful details into a brief and entertaining account. That’s how I do it — quote their own words as often as I can. 24. What does the author need to do with the contributions? A. Edit and adjust them. B. Collect and grade them. C. Ensure the variety of them. D. Add personal comments to them. 25. How does the author explain the difficulty of the job? A. By citing quotes. B. By listing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definitions. 26. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. She prioritizes new forms. B. She prefers emotional writing. C. She is hesitant about the role. D. She is acknowledged by her classmates. 27. What does the author think of the job? A. It’s stressful. B. It’s worthwhile. C. It’s straightforward. D. It’s troublesome. C Joe Reynolds and Judith Winfrey, the married couple who started Love Farm 13 years ago not far from Downtown Atlanta, are part of a generation of landless American farmers who grow food in rented fields. They work about two acres. It’s not a business model that brings them in enough income to buy their own farm. The Working Farms Fund aims to change that. It buys large areas of farmland in danger of being developed and rents it to farmers, helping them save enough to buy it — with a guarantee that local institutions like universities and hospitals will purchase as much food as the farmers sell. The couple has benefited greatly from that. “What we haven’t figured out is how to expand that model,” said Mindy Goldstein, a professor at Emory University. “Instead of a farm that feeds the neighborhood, we need to think about how these farms can feed cities like Atlanta or Chicago.” In its first effort the Working Farms Fund is buying 20 to 500 acre plots around Atlanta and restricting them to agricultural land through a conservation easement (地役权). It will rent the land to farmers who have been working with the fund to develop business plans that include saving money to buy their own farm within 10 years. An agricultural easement comes with some unique advantages for the farmers. Because the value of property can decrease by as much as 60 percent when it is withdrawn from the industrial market and becomes agricultural land, it turns into a reasonable price. The goal is to buy at least 12,000 acres of farmland near Atlanta, help start 150 farm businesses and support four or five strong rural farms in the next 20 years. Agricultural trusts that help young farmers buy land aren’t a new concept, but the Working Farms Fund has taken the idea even further. Farmers become part of a network intended to help them create a financially healthy working farm, which could also feed an entire city. 28. Why is the couple mentioned in the beginning? A. To show their achievements. B. To promote their business model. C. To describe US farmers’ challenges. D. To introduce the Working Farms Fund. 29. How does the Working Farms Fund help farmers? A. It provides fund for them. B. It rents the land to them for free. C. It purchases their produce. D. It ensures them a reliable market. 30. What can we learn about the easement? A. It forbids trades in the farmland. B. It makes the farmland affordable. C. It limits the price of the farmland. D. It increases the value of the farmland. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Urban Farms Spring Up All Over B. Make a Neighborhood Farm for a City C. Declining Farmland Becomes a Concern D. Rent Small Farmland to Landless Farmers D Beneath the surface of the earth lies a lively, invisible ecosystem full of life, often referred to as the “living skin” of the earth. It is a hidden world where countless organisms (生物体) interact in complex ways, driving essential processes that enable life to survive. They are the unsung heroes of nutrient cycling, soil stability, and even climate balance. Organisms in the soil are both copious and diverse. They range in size from the one-celled bacteria, to the more complex tiny bugs, and to the larger organisms such as insects and plants. Soil microbes (微生物) are too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Bacteria are the most plentiful microbes in soil, with a population of 1010-1011 individuals and 6,000-50,000 species per gram of soil and a biomass of 40-500 grams per square metre. If we are to understand the functions of soil microbes and the impact of management practices on soil quality, we need to analyze microbial community composition beyond just counting individuals. Traditional methods of studying microbes often rely on culturing techniques, which have significant limitations as they can only detect a small part of the microbial community. Advanced genetic (基因的) techniques, such as DNA sequencing and PCR, however, enable the detection and categorization of previously unculturable microbes. These methods enhance our ability to identify shifts in microbial communities, providing critical insights into soil health and functional dynamics. Soil microbes play both beneficial and harmful roles as contributors to soil environmental problems such as climate change and groundwater pollution. The physical chemical, and biological soil characteristics and their interactions with the resident community of soil microbes have a significant impact on the growth and activity of these microbes. As our understanding of these complex relationships develops, we should be able to develop soil management practices that are sustainable and can lead to preservation and improvement of soil quality. 32. What does the “living skin” of the earth mainly do? A. Sustain life on the earth. B. Control microbial population. C. Protect the surface of the earth. D. Monitor changes in the ecosystem. 33. What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Small. B. Active. C. Invisible. D. Plentiful. 34. Why are modern genetic techniques used in studying microbes? A. To identify diverse microbes. B. To simplify microbial counting. C. To help culture more microbes. D. To minimize microbial impact on soil. 35. What can help us to improve soil management practices? A. Removing harmful microbes. B. Distinguishing soil characteristics. C. Understanding soil-microbe interactions. D. Strengthening relationships among microbes. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How can you make sure to have great conversations, especially with people you don’t know well? How do you keep a conversation flowing, especially with someone you’ve just met? Your first and most important step is to make that person feel listened to. ____36____ The No.1 way to make someone feel listened to is to actually listen to them. That may sound stupidly obvious, but it can be hard to actually do. When someone is talking to you about something, especially if what they’re saying doesn’t directly relate to your interests, your mind may want to busy itself with other things. ____37____ The key to better engagement is to push distractions aside and concentrate. The more you can actually focus on what the person is saying, the better you’ ll be able to engage with them. Beyond that, using body language can be very useful. ____38____ Smile at the other person and nod to let them know you understand the points they’re making. You can take it a step further and mirror them, reflecting back their body positioning and posture. ____39____ If focusing on body language distracts you from listening, then it isn’t worth it, in my opinion. In that case, I believe it’s better to just focus on what they’re saying. Chances are, your body language will naturally reflect you really are paying attention. ____40____ It’s a bit like playing tennis, where the objective is to keep the volley going as long as possible. If you always respond to what the other person says with just a word or two, you’ re putting too much pressure on them to keep the conversation going. Conversely, if you take a conversational opening and run with it, launching into a detailed explanation of how your company works or a lengthy anecdote, you’re likely to lose their interest. You effectively shut the other person out of the conversation. A. That’s something most of us desire. B. However, I’ll add a word of warning. C. Make eye contact much but not all of the time. D. It is a great way to learn how to keep the volley going. E. Being good at starting conversations is an essential skill. F. You might start thinking about whether you’re wasting time. G. Then, pay attention to the rhythm and flow of the conversation. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to be an ambitious resolution-maker.

School books were tough for her, and when it came to free time, she stuck to picture books and listened to “Harry Potter” audiobooks. None of these really got her into deep reading, where you stare at words on paper and let your imagination fly. For a while, I had to face the truth: I hadn’t passed on the joy of reading to her. I tried telling her how reading makes life richer, but she shrugged (耸肩) and said, “Lots of my friends don’t like reading either. It’s no big deal.” Things went worse when she got a smartphone last year. Suddenly my lively child became lazy, always on her phone. I suggested other fun activities, but she just found theme “boring.” I still held out hope for reading, seeing it as a developmental escape. But the problem was that she chose the colorful, noisy world of her phone. Then, right before we left for an 8-day holiday on a beautiful Greek island, we talked about reading again. “Novels are the best way to understand how people feel,” I told her. “I can learn more from social media,” she replied. I mentioned storytelling and history, and she said, “I can watch movies and use the internet.” I even promised to buy her any books she liked, but she smiled and said, “Mama, welcome to your dream.” I realized I couldn’t win. She had good reasons and I couldn’t say she was wrong. Sure, reading opens up new worlds, but so does the whole internet. Still, deep down, I wished she’d experience the pure magic of reading—those special moments when an author says exactly what you’ve always felt but never knew how to express. 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。 So, instead of talking more, I decided to offer a reward. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the holiday, my daughter finished her book and asked for another. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Listening . test ten第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Jennifer, are you going to the library?

This new found site immediately drew the attention of the locals. Residents like a the low santos are retired nurse express excitement, and at the site, IT has become an attraction for them and foreign tourists. Therefore, IT serves as an additional source of income in an area of relying on agriculture. Some locals, like the Fisherman Nelson dera, have taken the opportunity to profit by taking tourists to the site. The old town had been moved somewhere else in the ninety seventies during the dam's construction. The damn now plays an important role in providing water to the region, so the appearance of the site has also caused some concerns. Locals hope the dam will be filled with water again.
