The company surveyed 3,000 participants from 27 countries on their “agreeableness” from the popular Big 5 Personality Test in April. Participants took a simplified version of the test’s “agreeableness” section and were given a score between 1 and 40, with a higher score meaning they were more agreeable. The scores of each country’s residents were averaged, and the higher the average, the friendlier the country. Estonia, 32.58 Estonia is ranked as one of the friendliest countries to travelers. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 1,000 islands, Estonia has friendly locals who are known to be respectful and polite to foreigners. A 2019 survey of almost 14,000 Estonians found that most residents prioritize safety and openness. Belgium, 32.5 As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse attractions. The European nation not only has progressive social policies and low crime rates, but English is easily spoken, which makes it easy to meet locals. Belgians are known to be polite and social, so you can feel comfortable asking locals for directions. Germany, 32.66 Germany is traversed by some of Europe’s major rivers such as the Rhine and Danube. Thanks to its central situation Germany has more neighbors than any other European country. There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany, and its friendly residents help make it a popular European destination. Germans aren’t known for engaging in small talk but will help you out if you’re in need. South Africa, 34.63 South Africa is also known as the “Rainbow Nation”. Since the air is fresh and the sunshine is in abundant supply, rainbows often appear after the rain. But the most important reason is its multi-culture, with white, black, yellow, varicolored people contributing to a unique landscape of South Africa. Eleven official languages are spoken in the African country. South Africans are known to be friendly and travelers can expect to encounter many locals saying hello and striking up conversations. 1. Which of the four countries is the friendliest? A. Estonia. B. Belgium. C. Germany. D. South Africa. 2. What do Belgium and Germany have in common? A. Large land areas. B. Bad small talkers. C. The history worth exploring. D. The number of neighbors. 3. What is the primary reason why South Africa is called the “Rainbow Nation”? A. Fresh air. B. Rich culture. C Plenty of sunshine. D. Beautiful landscape. B Nancy Jenkins is a 68-year-old teacher from North Carolina. On her last day as a teacher, she was expecting a small celebratory meal with her close family. But instead, she gets a huge surprise! She opens the door to a surprise that brings tears of joy. The room is packed with 40 guests, including her family, friends, and the people she worked with. Nancy Jenkins has been teaching for 42 years, spending 37 of those years in special education, often in an intensive behavioral classroom at Winter Park Elementary School in Wilmington. Despite the challenges, her love for her students never changed. She used many creative and interesting activities to help her students learn. She says these activities are some of the ones that she and her students enjoyed most. She also worked closely with parents, caregivers, and other professionals to create a supportive and inclusive environment for the children, maximizing the potential for success and well-being for each child under her care. Nancy’s daughter, Maggie Marsh, highlighted her mom’s compassion and positivity. “She is known as someone who would not only do anything to help a coworker or student in time of need, but she would also do anything just to make them laugh or smile.” Inspired by Nancy’s commitment, Maggie organized the celebration not only for her mom’s retirement but also to honor her impactful career as an educator. “After 42 years of selflessly putting others before herself and stepping in to help wherever assistance was needed, my mom was more than deserving of this celebration, and she is more than deserving of this retirement,” says Maggie. For Nancy, she was just doing what she loved. “I love teaching and it’s never boring,” she says. “Every day is different.” Despite her retirement, Nancy Jenkins will offer her help to children in need any time. Nancy says people who want to be teachers should make sure they are patient with their students. She also encourages them to choose subjects that they care deeply about. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” she says. 4. What can be learned about Nancy Jenkins? A. She felt sad on her last day as a teacher. B. She couldn’t wait to meet her guests after work. C. She began her teaching career at about 26 years old. D. She celebrated her retirement with a family get-together. 5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. What an educator should do for other people. B. How Nancy helped her coworkers and students. C. Whether it was the right time for Nancy to retire. D. Why Maggie organized the celebration for her mom. 6. What qualities are necessary for a teacher according to Nancy Jenkins? A. Creativity and generosity. B. Patience and passion. C. Cooperation and courage. D. Perseverance and humor. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a school. B. A speech of a retired teacher. C. A feature on ordinary people. D. An essay on special education. C The Anxious Generation (2024), by psychologist Jonathan Haidt, argues that excessive smartphone and social media use is rewiring the brains of children and adolescents, replacing essential playtime and contributing to rising mental health issues. It leapt to the top of the bestseller list when it was released a year ago and has sat there ever since. However, whether the phone is to blame for teens’ mental illness is under heated debate. Many scientists say the impacts of smartphones and social media depend on the individual, their family and other circumstances, and what they are doing online. Until 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), had “two by two” guidelines: no screens for children under two, and no more than two hours of screen time per day for older kids. But with smartphones replacing TVs and new research emerging, the AAP now encourages flexible, family-specific plans. The message nowadays is that families should have a conversation about what works best for them, considering their children, values and routines. It’s unclear in some studies, says Radesky, who is one of two medical directors of the academy’s specialist centre on social media and youth health, which comes first: whether social media causes depression, for instance, or whether young people who are depressed are more likely to spend time on social media. “We might have the arrow pointing in the wrong direction,” Radesky says. To resolve the scientific debate, Haidt says he would like to see larger experimental studies, such as ones in which entire schools that go phone-free are compared with control schools. But the trouble is that technology is already moving on. Surveys show that US teenagers are increasingly using online artificial-intelligence tools, such as chatbots, which is why Odger, the other medical director of the AAP centre, wants to see researchers collect data now on how young people are using this technology. “The crucial thing is that we should learn from this problem that we didn’t have the right evidence at the right time,” he says. “We need to learn for the next technology.” 8. Why did the AAP abandon its “two by two” guidelines? A. They were outdated and inflexible. B. Children needed more screen time. C. They were too difficult for families to follow. D. Parents demanded more freedom to set their own rules. 9. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The purpose of some studies is unknown. B. The focus of some studies is on the wrong issues. C. The conclusions drawn from some studies may be incorrect. D. The ways of data-collection in some studies may be inappropriate. 10. What does Odger imply about future technologies like AI chatbots? A. People should learn to use them for their benefit. B. They are less harmful than social media platforms. C. They will solve the mental health crisis caused by smartphones. D. Researchers need to study their impact on youth before it’s too late. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To call for the development of new technology. B. To give an account of a debate among scientists. C. To introduce a book on the impact of technology on kids. D. To offer advice on how to regulate children’s screen time. D For as long as humans have been monitoring the ocean, the only way we’ve known about stranded (搁浅的) whales was to come across them ourselves. But knowing about stranded whales — including where and when they strand — is important. Largely due to human causes such as ship strikes and pollution, whale strandings are on the rise. Their occurrence can often signal that something is wrong before larger ecosystem problems arise. Yet the ground-based networks used to monitor stranded whales are just available for wealthy countries. A new study conducted by Penny Clarke, a graduate student with the British Antarctic Survey, shows that very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery makes it possible to spot stranded whales in remote areas where it may оthеrwіѕе tаkе wееkѕ tо fіnd thеm. Ву that роіnt, аnіmаlѕ аrе оftеn lоng dесоmроѕеd (腐烂的), making it tоо lаtе to figure out what caused the stranding or take action to fix it. The first satellite with VHR sensors was launched in 1999. With the number of them now slowly climbing, Clarke’s team sees this sort of imagery as a tool that allows less-wealthy countries to monitor a vast area with just a few people. However, the satellite approach does have some limitations. As Clarke found, images may not be available for the date range researchers want; there are currently 27 VHR satellites circling Earth. Moreover, satellites only take photos when given orders to open their lenses. Tasking a satellite is expensive, and even accessing archived (存档的) images can come with a big price tag. Additionally, identifying whales requires manually scanning for the right shapes, frame (帧) by frame. In 2019, a team led by Clarke’s co-author, Peter Fretwell, tried to automate this process. They found that because dead whales change so drastically as they decompose, their way wasn’t very accurate. It often confused whales with features like rocks or washed-up trees. Next up, Clarke hopes to test the effectiveness of satellite monitoring by working on the round with experts during stranding events so that she can see for herself what satellite imagery misses. “We don’t know enough about some of these challenges we’re going to be coming up against,” she says. Yet the potential for this technology excites her immensely. “It’s quite literally out of this world.” 12. What is the significance of discovering whale strandings in time? A. To help control the whale population. B. To send the stranded whales to the ocean. C. To guard against bigger ecosystem risks. D. To reduce dead whales’ influence on ecosystems. 13. What does Clarke say about satellite monitoring? A. It can only be operated at a high cost. B. It is expected to perform various tasks. C. It poses challenges to wealthy countries. D. Less-wealthy countries can hardly afford it. 14. What did Peter Fretwell try to do in 2019? A. To call on local people to help recognize dead whales. B. To find a better way to examine dead whales in detail. C. To make the process of recognizing dead whales more efficient. D. To record the changes in dead whales with advanced technology. 15. What’s Clark’s attitude towards the future of satellite monitoring? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 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。 Museums become the next stop many students want to visit at their leisure.____16____ However, the experience of visiting a museum could be quite disappointing if not done right, even for the experienced museumgoers. ____17____.

After his retirement he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年5月 绵阳南山中学2025年春季高二5月月考 英语试题 本试卷满分 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、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了数字金融服务公司Remitly通过调查得出的世界最友好国家排名，并分别阐述了爱沙尼亚、比利时、德国和南非的友好特质及相关背景。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中各国的评分数据：根据“Estonia, 32.58(爱沙尼亚 32.58)”、“Belgium, 32.5(比利时32.5)”、“Germany, 32.66(德国 32.66)”、“South Africa, 34.63(南非34.63)”，结合第一段“The scores of each country’s residents were averaged, and the higher the average, the friendlier the country.(将每个国家居民的得分取平均值，平均分越高，该国就越友好。)”可知，南非的评分最高，因此是四个国家中最友好的。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Belgium, 32.5(比利时32.5)”部分“ As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse attractions.(比利时作为一个面积仅 30528 平方公里的西欧国家，以其丰富的文化遗产和多元的旅游景点而闻名。)”以及“Germany, 32.66(德国 32.66)”部分“There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany (在德国，有许多历史和文化有待发现，而且友好的居民使它成为一个受欢迎的欧洲旅游目的地。)”可知，两国的共同点是拥有值得探索的历史与文化，故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“South Africa, 34.63(南非34.63)”部分“There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany, and its friendly residents help make it a popular European destination.(但最重要的原因是它的多元文化，白种人、黑种人、黄种人、杂色人种共同构成了南非独特的风景线)”可知，南非被称作“彩虹之国”的主要原因是其多元文化，而非自然景观（如新鲜空气、阳光）。故选B项。 B Nancy Jenkins is a 68-year-old teacher from North Carolina. On her last day as a teacher, she was expecting a small celebratory meal with her close family. But instead, she gets a huge surprise! She opens the door to a surprise that brings tears of joy. The room is packed with 40 guests, including her family, friends, and the people she worked with. Nancy Jenkins has been teaching for 42 years, spending 37 of those years in special education, often in an intensive behavioral classroom at Winter Park Elementary School in Wilmington. Despite the challenges, her love for her students never changed. She used many creative and interesting activities to help her students learn. She says these activities are some of the ones that she and her students enjoyed most. She also worked closely with parents, caregivers, and other professionals to create a supportive and inclusive environment for the children, maximizing the potential for success and well-being for each child under her care. Nancy’s daughter, Maggie Marsh, highlighted her mom’s compassion and positivity. “She is known as someone who would not only do anything to help a coworker or student in time of need, but she would also do anything just to make them laugh or smile.” Inspired by Nancy’s commitment, Maggie organized the celebration not only for her mom’s retirement but also to honor her impactful career as an educator. “After 42 years of selflessly putting others before herself and stepping in to help wherever assistance was needed, my mom was more than deserving of this celebration, and she is more than deserving of this retirement,” says Maggie. For Nancy, she was just doing what she loved. “I love teaching and it’s never boring,” she says. “Every day is different.” Despite her retirement, Nancy Jenkins will offer her help to children in need any time. Nancy says people who want to be teachers should make sure they are patient with their students. She also encourages them to choose subjects that they care deeply about. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” she says. 4. What can be learned about Nancy Jenkins? A.

(Nancy Jenkins是一位来自北卡罗来纳州的68岁教师。在她作为教师的最后一天，她原本期待着与亲密家人共进一顿小型庆祝餐。但没想到，她迎来了一个巨大的惊喜！她打开门，眼前的惊喜让她喜极而泣——房间里挤满了40位宾客，包括她的家人、朋友和同事。)”以及全文内容可知，文章讲述了退休教师Nancy Jenkins的职业生涯、个人品质及退休时的庆祝活动，聚焦于一位普通人的故事。 故选C。 C The Anxious Generation (2024), by psychologist Jonathan Haidt, argues that excessive smartphone and social media use is rewiring the brains of children and adolescents, replacing essential playtime and contributing to rising mental health issues. It leapt to the top of the bestseller list when it was released a year ago and has sat there ever since. However, whether the phone is to blame for teens’ mental illness is under heated debate. Many scientists say the impacts of smartphones and social media depend on the individual, their family and other circumstances, and what they are doing online. Until 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), had “two by two” guidelines: no screens for children under two, and no more than two hours of screen time per day for older kids. But with smartphones replacing TVs and new research emerging, the AAP now encourages flexible, family-specific plans. The message nowadays is that families should have a conversation about what works best for them, considering their children, values and routines. It’s unclear in some studies, says Radesky, who is one of two medical directors of the academy’s specialist centre on social media and youth health, which comes first: whether social media causes depression, for instance, or whether young people who are depressed are more likely to spend time on social media. “We might have the arrow pointing in the wrong direction,” Radesky says. To resolve the scientific debate, Haidt says he would like to see larger experimental studies, such as ones in which entire schools that go phone-free are compared with control schools. But the trouble is that technology is already moving on. Surveys show that US teenagers are increasingly using online artificial-intelligence tools, such as chatbots, which is why Odger, the other medical director of the AAP centre, wants to see researchers collect data now on how young people are using this technology. “The crucial thing is that we should learn from this problem that we didn’t have the right evidence at the right time,” he says. “We need to learn for the next technology.” 8. Why did the AAP abandon its “two by two” guidelines? A They were outdated and inflexible. B. Children needed more screen time. C. They were too difficult for families to follow. D. Parents demanded more freedom to set their own rules. 9. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The purpose of some studies is unknown. B. The focus of some studies is on the wrong issues. C. The conclusions drawn from some studies may be incorrect. D. The ways of data-collection in some studies may be inappropriate. 10. What does Odger imply about future technologies like AI chatbots? A. People should learn to use them for their benefit. B. They are less harmful than social media platforms. C. They will solve the mental health crisis caused by smartphones. D Researchers need to study their impact on youth before it’s too late. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To call for the development of new technology. B. To give an account of a debate among scientists. C. To introduce a book on the impact of technology on kids. D. To offer advice on how to regulate children’s screen time. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍关于智能手机和社交媒体是否导致青少年心理健康问题的科学争论。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Until 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), had “two by two” guidelines: no screens for children under two, and no more than two hours of screen time per day for older kids. But with smartphones replacing TVs and new research emerging, the AAP now encourages flexible, family-specific plans. (直到2016年，美国儿科学会（AAP）一直有“2+2”指南：两岁以下儿童不接触屏幕，年龄较大的孩子每天屏幕时间不超过两小时。但随着智能手机取代电视和新研究的出现，AAP现在鼓励灵活的、针对家庭的计划。)”可知，AAP放弃“2+2”指南是因为其过时且缺乏灵活性。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线句子上文“It’s unclear in some studies, says Radesky, who is one of two medical directors of the academy’s specialist centre on social media and youth health, which comes first: whether social media causes depression, for instance, or whether young people who are depressed are more likely to spend time on social media. (雷德斯基是该学会社交媒体与青少年健康专家中心的两名医疗主任之一。她说，在一些研究中，尚不清楚哪个先发生：例如，是社交媒体导致抑郁，还是抑郁的年轻人更倾向于花时间在社交媒体上。)”可知，在一些研究中，尚不清楚哪个先发生，可能把因果关系颠倒，由此可推知，划线句子的意思是某些研究可能因为因果颠倒得出的结论可能不正确。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Surveys show that US teenagers are increasingly using online artificial-intelligence tools, such as chatbots, which is why Odger, the other medical director of the AAP centre, wants to see researchers collect data now on how young people are using this technology. “The crucial thing is that we should learn from this problem that we didn’t have the right evidence at the right time,” he says. “We need to learn for the next technology.”(调查显示，美国青少年越来越多地使用聊天机器人等在线人工智能工具，这就是为什么美国儿科学会（AAP）中心的另一位医学主任奥德格希望看到研究人员现在就收集年轻人如何使用这项技术的数据。“关键是我们应该从这个问题中吸取教训，我们没有在正确的时间获得正确的证据，”他说。“我们需要为下一个技术而学习。”)”可知，奥德杰暗示研究人员需要及时研究人工智能聊天机器人等未来技术对青少年的影响，以免为时已晚。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是首段“The Anxious Generation (2024), by psychologist Jonathan Haidt, argues that excessive smartphone and social media use is rewiring the brains of children and adolescents, replacing essential playtime and contributing to rising mental health issues. It leapt to the top of the bestseller list when it was released a year ago and has sat there ever since. However, whether the phone is to blame for teens’ mental illness is under heated debate.(心理学家乔纳森・海特在 2024 年出版的《焦虑的一代》中指出，过度使用智能手机和社交媒体正在重塑儿童和青少年的大脑，取代了他们重要的玩耍时间，并导致心理健康问题日益增多。该书在一年前出版时就登上了畅销书榜首，此后一直稳居榜首。然而，手机是否是青少年精神疾病的罪魁祸首，目前仍在激烈争论中。)”可知，文章围绕乔纳森·海特的《焦虑的一代》引发的争议展开，介绍科学家对智能手机与青少年心理健康关系的不同观点及研究现状。因此，作者的目的是阐述科学家之间的争论。故选B项。 D For as long as humans have been monitoring the ocean, the only way we’ve known about stranded (搁浅的) whales was to come across them ourselves. But knowing about stranded whales — including where and when they strand — is important. Largely due to human causes such as ship strikes and pollution, whale strandings are on the rise. Their occurrence can often signal that something is wrong before larger ecosystem problems arise. Yet the ground-based networks used to monitor stranded whales are just available for wealthy countries. A new study conducted by Penny Clarke, a graduate student with the British Antarctic Survey, shows that very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery makes it possible to spot stranded whales in remote areas where it may оthеrwіѕе tаkе wееkѕ tо fіnd thеm. Ву that роіnt, аnіmаlѕ аrе оftеn lоng dесоmроѕеd (腐烂的), making it tоо lаtе to figure out what caused the stranding or take action to fix it. The first satellite with VHR sensors was launched in 1999. With the number of them now slowly climbing, Clarke’s team sees this sort of imagery as a tool that allows less-wealthy countries to monitor a vast area with just a few people. However, the satellite approach does have some limitations. As Clarke found, images may not be available for the date range researchers want; there are currently 27 VHR satellites circling Earth. Moreover, satellites only take photos when given orders to open their lenses. Tasking a satellite is expensive, and even accessing archived (存档的) images can come with a big price tag. Additionally, identifying whales requires manually scanning for the right shapes, frame (帧) by frame. In 2019, a team led by Clarke’s co-author, Peter Fretwell, tried to automate this process. They found that because dead whales change so drastically as they decompose, their way wasn’t very accurate. It often confused whales with features like rocks or washed-up trees. Next up, Clarke hopes to test the effectiveness of satellite monitoring by working on the round with experts during stranding events so that she can see for herself what satellite imagery misses. “We don’t know enough about some of these challenges we’re going to be coming up against,” she says. Yet the potential for this technology excites her immensely. “It’s quite literally out of this world.” 12. What is the significance of discovering whale strandings in time? A. To help control the whale population. B. To send the stranded whales to the ocean. C. To guard against bigger ecosystem risks. D. To reduce dead whales’ influence on ecosystems. 13. What does Clarke say about satellite monitoring? A. It can only be operated at a high cost. B. It is expected to perform various tasks. C. It poses challenges to wealthy countries. D. Less-wealthy countries can hardly afford it. 14. What did Peter Fretwell try to do in 2019? A. To call on local people to help recognize dead whales. B. To find a better way to examine dead whales in detail. C. To make the process of recognizing dead whales more efficient. D. To record the changes in dead whales with advanced technology. 15. What’s Clark’s attitude towards the future of satellite monitoring? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了利用高分辨率卫星图像来监测偏远地区搁浅鲸鱼的新技术，并探讨了该技术的优势、局限性以及未来的发展方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But knowing about stranded whales — including where and when they strand — is important. (但是了解搁浅的鲸鱼 —— 包括它们在哪里搁浅以及何时搁浅 —— 是很重要的)”以及第二段中“Their occurrence can often signal that something is wrong before larger ecosystem problems arise. (在更大的生态系统问题出现之前，它们的出现往往预示着出了问题)”可知，及时发现鲸鱼搁浅的意义在于防范更大的生态系统风险。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, the satellite approach does have some limitations. As Clarke found, images may not be available for the date range researchers want; there are currently 27 VHR satellites circling Earth. Moreover, satellites only take photos when given orders to open their lenses. Tasking a satellite is expensive, and even accessing archived (存档的) images can come with a big price tag. (然而，卫星方法确实有一些局限性。正如克拉克所发现的，研究人员想要的日期范围内的图像可能无法获得；目前有27颗高分辨率卫星环绕地球。此外，卫星只有在接到打开镜头的命令时才会拍照。给卫星分配任务很昂贵，甚至访问存档的图像也可能需要付出高昂的代价)”可知，克拉克认为卫星监测只能以高成本运行。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“In 2019, a team led by Clarke’s co-author, Peter Fretwell, tried to automate this process. They found that because dead whales change so drastically as they decompose, their way wasn’t very accurate. (2019年，克拉克的合著者彼得·弗雷特韦尔领导的一个团队试图将这一过程自动化。他们发现，由于死鲸在分解过程中变化很大，所以他们的方法不太准确)”可知，彼得·弗雷特韦尔在2019年试图使识别死鲸的过程更高效。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Yet the potential for this technology excites her immensely. “It’s quite literally out of this world.” (然而，这项技术的潜力让她兴奋不已。“这简直太不可思议了。”)”可知，克拉克对卫星监测的未来持希望态度。故选B项。 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。 Museums become the next stop many students want to visit at their leisure.____16____ However, the experience of visiting a museum could be quite disappointing if not done right, even for the experienced museumgoers. ____17____.

As the leader of an education-aid team in remote Yi ethnic areas, Mr. Wu has devoted 8 years to improving educational conditions for children in the poor areas. Besides, he has developed interactive methods such as English songs, role-play activities, and cultural storytelling to enhance engagement — a strategy highlighted in rural education case studies. His story teaches me that true beauty lies in selfless dedication rather than appearance. Though not all of us can become volunteer teachers, we can shine in our own positions through wholehearted commitment. Possible version 2: Celebrating the Glory of Labor Wang Jin, a renowned clock-restoration master at Beijing’s Palace Museum, has dedicated his life to reviving the exquisite timepieces of China’s imperial past. Following in his father’s footsteps, Wang Jin represents the third generation of his family to work at the Palace Museum. As a key figure in the museum’s conservation team, he specializes in repairing and preserving the museum’s world-class collection of over 1,000 antique clocks, many of which date back to the Qing Dynasty. By restoring these clocks, Wang Jin connects modern audiences to the ingenuity of ancient artisans. Wang Jin’s work transcends mere restoration; it is an act of cultural preservation. His humility and quiet perseverance — often laboring for months on a single clock — teach us the value of patience, heritage, and excellence. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生围绕“浓情五月，劳动最光荣”主题，撰写一篇人物短文，介绍其事迹并写出对自己的启示。 【详解】（范文1） 1.词汇积累 奉献：dedication→devotion 一心一意的：wholehearted→unbendable 此外：besides→in addition 遥远的：remote→distant 2句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Wu Jiuyuan, a volunteer teacher from Jian’ge County, Sichuan Province, has become a symbol of educational perseverance in China’s remote Yi ethnic regions. 拓展句：Wu Jiuyuan, who is a volunteer teacher from Jian’ge County, Sichuan Province, has become a symbol of educational perseverance in China’s remote Yi ethnic regions. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Though not all of us can become volunteer teachers, we can shine in our own positions through wholehearted commitment.（运用了though引导让步状语从句） 【高分句型2】His story teaches me that true beauty lies in selfless dedication rather than appearance.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第二节（满分 25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Harry Caine retired from a local power company. After his retirement, he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. They came from all walks of life—students, retirees and even some stay-at-home parents, each eager to lend a hand. They selflessly devoted their time, skills, and knowledge to tackling piles of the donated bikes. Together, they sorted the bikes by size and condition before the repairs. Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side. With volunteers’ support, Harry was determined to expand the project to more people. And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike. To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. Along with the volunteers, Harry carefully took into account individual preferences, such as bike styles, colors, and sizes, as well as ages, addresses and occupations. With the valuable information, every bike was perfectly tailored to meet the recipients’ needs. Once the bikes were fully repaired, they delivered each bike in person to the recipient’s home, ensuring it was an ideal fit. The recipients were overjoyed, expressing their heartfelt gratitude for the thoughtful gesture. This personalized approach not only warmed their hearts but also strengthened community bonds, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and connecting. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了退休老人Harry Caine退休后利用自己的技能免费为社区修理被遗弃的自行车，并将修好的自行车捐赠给有需要的人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“得知Harry的情况后，一群志愿者来帮助他。”可知，第一段可描写志愿者们的构成、他们是如何帮助Harry的，包括对自行车进行分类等工作，以及 Harry 在志愿者帮助下的想法和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“为了让每辆自行车都能匹配到新主人，Harry收集了他们的具体需求。”可知，第二段可描写Harry和志愿者们如何收集并考虑接收者的各种需求，根据需求修理和分配自行车，以及接收者收到自行车后的反应和这个个性化做法带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：Harry工作量大面临困难——志愿者来帮忙——志愿者和Harry分工合作——Harry决心扩大项目 ——收集接收者需求——按需求分配自行车——收获感激和加强社区联系 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮忙：lend a hand/offer help/assist ②处理：tackle/deal with/handle ③考虑：take sth. into account/consider sth./take sth. into consideration 情绪类 ①欢乐的：overjoyed/delighted/elated ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike.(运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
