Known for its precise techniques and detailed descriptions of nature, figures, and landscapes, it highlights the talents of Chinese artists. Five Oxen Five Oxen was painted by Han Huang from the Tang Dynasty. It shows five oxen (牛) in various postures, with their muscles and bones delicately illustrated, including the tiny hairs around their mouths and on their heads. It’s one of the earliest surviving paper paintings in China. Travelers Among Mountains and Streams Fan Kuan, a famous Song Dynasty landscape painter, created Travelers Among Mountains and Streams. Its power lies in showing man’s co-existence with nature. Now, new filmmaking techniques are employed to bring the painting to life. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains Wang Ximeng, at just 18, created A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, a huge 11-meter silk scroll (卷轴) painting. Using rare colors like malachite green and azurite blue, it vividly displays a peaceful and rich landscape. This great work also shows the painter’s deep respect for nature’s beauty. Along the River During the Qingming Festival Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan is set in Bianjing (now Kaifeng) during the 11th-12th centuries. The 5-meter-long scroll features over 800 people, animals, boats, and buildings, describing both rural and urban scenes. It has inspired modern works like the digital animation (动画) River of Wisdom. 21. What is the most distinctive artistic feature of Five Oxen? A. Accuracy in describing details. B. Involvement of multiple species. C. Masterful management of colors. D. Application of cutting-edge materials. 22. What do the second and third paintings have in common? A. They are scroll paintings. B. They include elements of nature. C. They employ advanced technology. D. They emphasize the role of humans in nature. 23. Whose painting above illustrates scenes of people’s lives? A. Han Huang’s. B. Fan Kuan’s. C. Zhang Zeduan’s. D. Wang Ximeng’s. B I often wake up to my alarm after a short night and step out of bed to a day I’ve fought through countless times. I rush my morning routine and run to my car. My radio switches to my favorite song, but I have to listen to an audible book for an assignment due tomorrow. When I get to school, I start with Spanish, my hardest class. Despite being around all year, I have no clue what’s going on. I then walk to my English class, in which I was stuck in the language rules. The assignments take much energy that my perfectionist nature is unable to take on in school, so I save them for later, most probably late at night. This is my reality as a student with dyslexia, a learning disorder in reading and spelling: assignments that take three times as long as they’ re meant to, late nights and early mornings to even slightly keep up with my classes. I was told that Advanced Placement U. S. History would be my hardest class. But here, I am in my element. Despite being three assignments behind, I’m actively engaged. Yes, my passion for history heightens my focus, but my teacher’s willingness to work with me is what allows me to fly high. Teachers need to offer alternative structures that make learning more accessible. I’ve had teachers who teach lecture-based classes where students are expected to take notes and listen. As a student with dyslexia, this doesn’t work. A fix for that is as simple as providing alternative resources: a slide show students can go back to after class, or perhaps even an activity that further plays with the concepts. Now, many schools are shifting to approaches that meet the needs of all kids. However, advocacy work can still be done to support students with dyslexia. If school systems are willing to provide support and education by creating an accessible class structure from the start, students won’t be stuck into academic tracks that don’t push them to their full potential. 24. Why does the author have to do his homework late at night? A. He is assigned extra homework. B. He needs time to do it well enough. C. He fails to manage his spare time. D. He dislikes tasks related to languages. 25. What does the underlined part “in my element” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Burning the midnight oil. B. Feeling like a fish in water. C. Having butterflies in my stomach. D. Biting off more than I can chew. 26. What does the author think of lecture-based classes? A. Uninteresting. B. Convincing. C. Demanding. D. Rewarding. 27. What does the author advise schools to do for students? A. Offer classes with alternatives. B. Ask educational experts to give lectures. C. Advocate out-of-class activities. D. Get teachers trained in special education. C In today’s fast-paced world, joy can often feel hard to find. However, Zadie Smith offers a refreshing perspective on the concept of joy and its significance in our lives, in her essay Joy. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, literary references, and thought-provoking insights, Smith explores the complexities of joy and its relationship to happiness. Smith explores the definition and perception of joy, distinguishing it from happiness, which originates from internal contentment rather than external circumstances. She finds joy in small pleasures of life, such as interactions with a child or observing daily routines. While society often views joy as short-lived or shallow, prioritizing grand achievements and material pursuits, Smith challenges this notion, arguing that joy in simple things significantly enhances our well-being. One of the key aspects of Smith’s essay is her exploration of the role of literature in capturing and conveying joy. She claims that by immersing ourselves in the stories and experiences of others, we can broaden our horizons and find joy in the shared human experience. This insight emphasizes the importance of storytelling and the arts in fostering a sense of joy and connection in society. Smith also digs into how identity shapes our understanding of joy, reflecting on her multicultural background and its influence on her views. She highlights how joy is often rooted in cultural legacy and individual experiences, emphasizing the value of embracing diverse identities. Furthermore, Smith examines the role of community and social connections in fostering joy. She argues that joy is often connected with our relationships and the sense of belonging we get from them. Sharing laughter or celebrating together with others can make our joy stronger and build a sense of community. Zadie Smith’s essay Joy offers an exploration of joy and its significance in our lives and encourages us to reevaluate our understanding of joy and seek its presence in our everyday lives. 28. How does Smith think people can find joy? A. By appreciating ordinary moments of daily life. B. By achieving great success and acquiring wealth. C. By seeking contentment in external circumstances. D. By focusing on personal growth through self-reflection. 29. What role does literature play in pursuing joy? A. It provides entertainment for society. B. It distracts us from problems. C. It promotes understanding of others. D. It helps us find life’s meaning. 30. What influences our view of joy according to Smith? A. Financial status and social recognition. B. Cultural heritage and social relationships. C. Professional success and personal value. D. Physical health and educational background. 31. What’s the text? A. A commentary. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A personal narrative. D Scientists tell us that when a bird silently nods off, it may dream as its singing muscles make sudden quick movements. Could it be rehearsing (排练) in its sleep? A substantial part of bird species are songbirds with specific brain regions dedicated to learning songs, according to University of Buenos Aires physicist Gabriel B. Mindlin. His research examines connections between birds’ dreams and song production — particularly in Zebra Finches, which often learn new sounds and songs, and in Great Kiskadees, which possess a limited born song learning capacity. Scientists had previously observed sleeping birds making movements like lip-syncing (对口型). In earlier work, Mindlin and his colleagues implanted electrodes in two Zebra Finches; for a recent study in Chaos, they did the same for two Great Kiskadees. This let them record and compare neuron (神经元) and muscle activity in the sleeping birds. When awake Zebra Finches sing a well-regulated line of discontinuous notes. But their sleeping song movements are disjointed — “rather like a dream,” Mindlin says. A sleeping finch seems to silently practice a few “notes” and then add another, producing a pattern of muscle activity that reminds Mindlin “of learning a musical instrument.” Such “rehearsing” appears far less likely in the non-learning Great Kiskadees, says study co-author Ana Amador, a neuroscientist also at the University of Buenos Aires. For the new research, the scientists ran this species’ sensor output through a mathematical model Mindlin recently developed to translate muscle movements into hearable sounds. The Kiskadees’ sleeping tune comprised quick, identical note syllables that sounded astonishingly loud and strong — “more like a nightmare than a dream,” Amador says. University of Chicago neuroscientist Daniel Margoliash says the new results agree with his own observations of sleeping birds’ neurons. But he advises caution in describing this sleep activity as “dreaming.” Future work should more closely examine the sleep states the birds experience during this process, he says — including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a sleep stage that is closely associated with dreaming in other animals. 32 What does Mindlin’s study focus on? A. Singing-learning ability of sleeping birds. B. Dreams-song production links in birds. C. Birds’ brain operation during sleep. D. Mathematical model development. 33. What did Mindlin’s team do in a recent study? A. They observed the movement of lip-syncing. B. They analyzed the birds’ sleeping habits. C. They tracked sleeping birds’ muscle responses. D. They compared the singing skills of different birds. 34. How do the studied birds differ in sleep singing? A. Frequency of electrode implants. B. Brain region activation patterns. C. Song complexity and continuity. D. Preferred sleeping environments. 35. What can be the best title for this text? A. The Mystery of Birds Singing B. Muscle Movements in Sleeping Birds C. Sleeping Like Dreaming D. Musical Rehearsal in Birds’ Sleep 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。 Society has leaned into the convenience of throwaway culture, with repair skills being lost across generations in favor of simply replacing items when they break. ___36___ This situation is causing damage to our planet every day. That’s where Repair Cafes come in. ___37___ The concept is simple: visitors with broken items and volunteer repair specialists come together to repair and learn or just enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.

And those are just the trackable results. The repair cafes have seen a spotlight recently and the interest looks like it will only follow an upwards trend. ___40___ As generations are becoming more aware of the dangers the planet faces, people are seeking connection and ways to take care of it. And the repair cafes bring both in abundance. Looking forward, the future continues to look bright. A. Luckily, the idea took off. B. Thus, waste is on the rise. C. So what exactly is a Repair Cafe? D. They are making a real difference, too. E. This trend is boosting profits for tourism. F. She had tested the model in three countries. G.

So one day, I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little cocker spaniel (可卡猎犬) trembling in a cage caught my eye right away. She had scared eyes and I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged. I gently petted her soft fur, and to my surprise, she stopped shaking. That was that. I filled out the paperwork and took my new dog — Honey home. I’d had her only a couple of weeks, but Honey and I quickly became close friends. She followed me like a shadow from the very first day. She loved sitting on my lap. We often went to the backyard, where I picked up a ball and threw it. I sat down to watch Honey race after the ball. We had great fun together. That October morning last year I decided to take Honey with me while I ran some errands (差事). She jumped in and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car. We lived in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, surrounded by tall redwoods. We had to drive up the mountain at a low speed to get to our driveway, which was barely wide enough for one car and ended at a steep cliff. I turned around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to protect my eyes. Suddenly, the car slipped in the soft soil and rolled down the valley. I heard a horrible crash. A giant branch plunged (扎进) through the roof and hit my leg. We landed upside down. I was stuck. I looked over to find Honey. She was still in the passenger seat. She seemed scared but was not hurt. 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。 I knew I had to do something to save us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I watched Honey fade out of my view, my thoughts started to wander off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 海南中学2025届高三年级五月份半月考英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

The large amount of plastic in communities. B. The unexpected presence of microplastics. C. The public low awareness of sea protection. 20. How can listeners participate in the project? A. By donating money. B. By advocating it online. C. By joining a volunteer team. 【答案】18. B 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to today’s broadcast. Today, I want to address a serious problem — plastic pollution in our oceans. Did you know that over 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in the oceans each year? Not only does it harm marine life, but also affects human health through the food chain. For instance, sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them, leading to deadly blockages. Recently, some experts visited a coastal town and saw beaches covered with plastic bottles and fishing nets. What surprised them most was that even in remote areas, micro plastics were found in the sand and seawater. Despite this, many communities lack proper recycling systems and public awareness remains low. So what can we do to change the situation? First, schools should ban single use plastic bottles in cafeterias and replace them with reusable containers. Second, local governments are expected to invest more money in waste management facilities. Last but not least, each of us can join the clean coast volunteer programme to remove trash from beaches monthly.

Known for its precise techniques and detailed descriptions of nature, figures, and landscapes, it highlights the talents of Chinese artists. Five Oxen Five Oxen was painted by Han Huang from the Tang Dynasty. It shows five oxen (牛) in various postures, with their muscles and bones delicately illustrated, including the tiny hairs around their mouths and on their heads. It’s one of the earliest surviving paper paintings in China. Travelers Among Mountains and Streams Fan Kuan, a famous Song Dynasty landscape painter, created Travelers Among Mountains and Streams. Its power lies in showing man’s co-existence with nature. Now, new filmmaking techniques are employed to bring the painting to life. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains Wang Ximeng, at just 18, created A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, a huge 11-meter silk scroll (卷轴) painting. Using rare colors like malachite green and azurite blue, it vividly displays a peaceful and rich landscape. This great work also shows the painter’s deep respect for nature’s beauty. Along the River During the Qingming Festival Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan is set in Bianjing (now Kaifeng) during the 11th-12th centuries. The 5-meter-long scroll features over 800 people, animals, boats, and buildings, describing both rural and urban scenes. It has inspired modern works like the digital animation (动画) River of Wisdom. 21. What is the most distinctive artistic feature of Five Oxen? A. Accuracy in describing details. B. Involvement of multiple species. C. Masterful management of colors. D. Application of cutting-edge materials. 22. What do the second and third paintings have in common? A. They are scroll paintings. B. They include elements of nature. C. They employ advanced technology. D. They emphasize the role of humans in nature. 23. Whose painting above illustrates scenes of people’s lives? A. Han Huang’s. B. Fan Kuan’s. C. Zhang Zeduan’s. D. Wang Ximeng’s. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了中国古代几幅著名画作及其艺术特色。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Five Oxen部分中“Five Oxen was painted by Han Huang from the Tang Dynasty. It shows five oxen (牛) in various postures, with their muscles and bones delicately illustrated, including the tiny hairs around their mouths and on their heads. (《五牛图》是唐代韩滉所画。它展示了五头姿势各异的牛，肌肉和骨骼都描绘得十分细腻，包括它们嘴边和头上的细毛)”可知，《五牛图》最独特的艺术特征是对细节的精确描绘。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Travelers Among Mountains and Streams部分中“Fan Kuan, a famous Song Dynasty landscape painter, created Travelers Among Mountains and Streams. Its power lies in showing man’s co-existence with nature. (范宽是宋代著名的山水画家，他创作了《溪山行旅图》。它的力量在于展示人与自然的共存)”以及A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains部分中“Using rare colors like malachite green and azurite blue, it vividly displays a peaceful and rich landscape. (它使用孔雀石绿和蓝铜矿蓝等稀有颜色，生动地展现了一幅宁静而丰富的山水画)”可知，第二幅和第三幅画的共同点是它们都包含了自然元素。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan is set in Bianjing（now Kaifeng）during the 11th-12th centuries. The 5-meter-long scroll features over 800 people, animals, boats, and buildings, describing both rural and urban scenes. (张择端的《清明上河图》以11世纪至12世纪的汴京（今开封）为背景。这幅5米长的画卷上描绘了800多个人物、动物、船只和建筑物，描绘了乡村和城市的景象)”可知，张择端的画作描绘了人们的生活场景。故选C。 B I often wake up to my alarm after a short night and step out of bed to a day I’ve fought through countless times. I rush my morning routine and run to my car. My radio switches to my favorite song, but I have to listen to an audible book for an assignment due tomorrow. When I get to school, I start with Spanish, my hardest class. Despite being around all year, I have no clue what’s going on. I then walk to my English class, in which I was stuck in the language rules. The assignments take much energy that my perfectionist nature is unable to take on in school, so I save them for later, most probably late at night. This is my reality as a student with dyslexia, a learning disorder in reading and spelling: assignments that take three times as long as they’ re meant to, late nights and early mornings to even slightly keep up with my classes. I was told that Advanced Placement U. S. History would be my hardest class. But here, I am in my element. Despite being three assignments behind, I’m actively engaged. Yes, my passion for history heightens my focus, but my teacher’s willingness to work with me is what allows me to fly high. Teachers need to offer alternative structures that make learning more accessible. I’ve had teachers who teach lecture-based classes where students are expected to take notes and listen. As a student with dyslexia, this doesn’t work. A fix for that is as simple as providing alternative resources: a slide show students can go back to after class, or perhaps even an activity that further plays with the concepts. Now, many schools are shifting to approaches that meet the needs of all kids. However, advocacy work can still be done to support students with dyslexia. If school systems are willing to provide support and education by creating an accessible class structure from the start, students won’t be stuck into academic tracks that don’t push them to their full potential. 24. Why does the author have to do his homework late at night? A. He is assigned extra homework. B. He needs time to do it well enough. C. He fails to manage his spare time. D. He dislikes tasks related to languages. 25. What does the underlined part “in my element” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Burning the midnight oil. B. Feeling like a fish in water. C. Having butterflies in my stomach. D. Biting off more than I can chew. 26. What does the author think of lecture-based classes? A. Uninteresting. B. Convincing. C. Demanding. D. Rewarding. 27. What does the author advise schools to do for students? A. Offer classes with alternatives. B. Ask educational experts to give lectures. C. Advocate out-of-class activities. D. Get teachers trained in special education. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章描述了一个患有阅读和拼写障碍（诵读困难）的学生的日常生活和学习挑战，同时作者也分享了自己在历史课上的积极体验，并呼吁教师提供更多元化的教学方式以满足不同学生的需求。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The assignments take much energy that my perfectionist nature is unable to take on in school, so I save them for later, most probably late at night.(这些作业要耗费大量精力，以我这种追求完美的性格在学校里根本无法完成，所以我就把它们留到以后做，很可能是留到深夜才做)”以及第三段“This is my reality as a student with dyslexia, a learning disorder in reading and spelling: assignments that take three times as long as they’ re meant to, late nights and early mornings to even slightly keep up with my classes.(这就是我作为一名患有诵读困难症（一种在阅读和拼写方面的学习障碍）的学生所面临的现实：完成作业所花费的时间是正常情况下的三倍，为了勉强跟上课程进度，常常熬夜到很晚，清晨又得早起)”可知，作者是阅读和拼写方面有学习障碍的诵读困难症患者，作业要花费比正常多三倍的时间，而且由于他完美主义的性格，在学校没有精力完成作业，所以要留到晚上，是为了有足够时间把作业做好。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Despite being three assignments behind, I’m actively engaged. Yes, my passion for history heightens my focus, but my teacher’s willingness to work with me is what allows me to fly high.(尽管我已经落后了三项作业，但我依然积极投入学习。没错，我对历史的热爱让我更加专注，但真正让我能够展翅高飞的是我的老师愿意给予我帮助)”可知，作者虽然落后了三项作业，但他积极参与，对历史的热情提高了他的注意力，老师也愿意帮助他，所以他在这门课上感觉很自在、如鱼得水。A选项“开夜车”；C选项 “心里七上八下”；D选项“贪多嚼不烂”均不符合语境。划线词组in my element与Feeling like a fish in water.“感觉如鱼得水”意思一致。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I’ve had teachers who teach lecture-based classes where students are expected to take notes and listen. As a student with dyslexia, this doesn’t work.(我遇到过一些老师，他们采用以讲授为主的授课方式，要求学生边听边做笔记。但作为一名患有诵读困难症的学生，这种方式对我并不奏效)”可知，作者认为以讲座为主的课程，要求学生记笔记和听讲，对于有诵读困难症的他来说行不通，说明这种课程对他要求过高，很难做到。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Teachers need to offer alternative structures that make learning more accessible.(教师们需要提供可供选择的教学架构，以使学习变得更容易上手)”以及“A fix for that is as simple as providing alternative resources: a slide show students can go back to after class, or perhaps even an activity that further plays with the concepts.(解决这个问题的方法很简单，那就是提供可替代的学习资源：比如学生课后可以回顾的幻灯片演示，又或者是开展一项能进一步加深对相关概念理解的活动)”可知，作者建议老师提供可替代的学习结构和资源，让学习更容易进行。故选A。 C In today’s fast-paced world, joy can often feel hard to find. However, Zadie Smith offers a refreshing perspective on the concept of joy and its significance in our lives, in her essay Joy. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, literary references, and thought-provoking insights, Smith explores the complexities of joy and its relationship to happiness. Smith explores the definition and perception of joy, distinguishing it from happiness, which originates from internal contentment rather than external circumstances. She finds joy in small pleasures of life, such as interactions with a child or observing daily routines. While society often views joy as short-lived or shallow, prioritizing grand achievements and material pursuits, Smith challenges this notion, arguing that joy in simple things significantly enhances our well-being. One of the key aspects of Smith’s essay is her exploration of the role of literature in capturing and conveying joy. She claims that by immersing ourselves in the stories and experiences of others, we can broaden our horizons and find joy in the shared human experience. This insight emphasizes the importance of storytelling and the arts in fostering a sense of joy and connection in society. Smith also digs into how identity shapes our understanding of joy, reflecting on her multicultural background and its influence on her views. She highlights how joy is often rooted in cultural legacy and individual experiences, emphasizing the value of embracing diverse identities. Furthermore, Smith examines the role of community and social connections in fostering joy. She argues that joy is often connected with our relationships and the sense of belonging we get from them. Sharing laughter or celebrating together with others can make our joy stronger and build a sense of community. Zadie Smith’s essay Joy offers an exploration of joy and its significance in our lives and encourages us to reevaluate our understanding of joy and seek its presence in our everyday lives. 28. How does Smith think people can find joy? A. By appreciating ordinary moments of daily life. B. By achieving great success and acquiring wealth. C. By seeking contentment in external circumstances. D. By focusing on personal growth through self-reflection. 29. What role does literature play in pursuing joy? A. It provides entertainment for society. B. It distracts us from problems. C. It promotes understanding of others. D. It helps us find life’s meaning. 30. What influences our view of joy according to Smith? A. Financial status and social recognition. B. Cultural heritage and social relationships. C. Professional success and personal value. D. Physical health and educational background. 31. What’s the text? A. A commentary. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A personal narrative. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。探讨了Zadie Smith在其文章Joy中对快乐的独特见解，并分析了文学、文化身份、社区联系对快乐的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She finds joy in small pleasures of life, such as interactions with a child or observing daily routines. (她在生活中的小快乐中找到快乐，比如与孩子的互动或观察日常生活。)”可知，Smith认为人们可以从日常生活的普通瞬间中找到快乐。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She claims that by immersing ourselves in the stories and experiences of others, we can broaden our horizons and find joy in the shared human experience. (她声称，通过沉浸在别人的故事和经历中，我们可以拓宽视野，并在共同的人类经历中找到快乐。)”可知，在追求快乐中，文学能够帮助人们理解他人，故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She highlights how joy is often rooted in cultural legacy and individual experiences, emphasizing the value of embracing diverse identities. (她强调了快乐往往植根于文化遗产和个人经历，强调了拥抱不同身份价值。)”以及倒数第二段“She argues that joy is often connected with our relationships and the sense of belonging we get from them. (她认为，快乐往往与我们的人际关系以及我们从中获得的归属感有关。)”可知，史密斯认为是文化背景和社交关系影响人们对快乐的看法。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In today’s fast-paced world, joy can often feel hard to find. However, Zadie Smith offers a refreshing perspective on the concept of joy and its significance in our lives, in her essay Joy. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, literary references, and thought-provoking insights, Smith explores the complexities of joy and its relationship to happiness. (在当今快节奏的世界里，快乐往往很难找到。然而，扎迪·史密斯在她的文章《快乐》中对快乐的概念及其在我们生活中的重要性提出了一个令人耳目一新的观点。通过个人轶事、文学参考和发人深省的见解，史密斯探索了快乐的复杂性及其与幸福的关系。)”以及文章围绕Smith的文章展开分析与评论， 属于评论性文章。故选A。 D Scientists tell us that when a bird silently nods off, it may dream as its singing muscles make sudden quick movements. Could it be rehearsing (排练) in its sleep? A substantial part of bird species are songbirds with specific brain regions dedicated to learning songs, according to University of Buenos Aires physicist Gabriel B. Mindlin. His research examines connections between birds’ dreams and song production — particularly in Zebra Finches, which often learn new sounds and songs, and in Great Kiskadees, which possess a limited born song learning capacity. Scientists had previously observed sleeping birds making movements like lip-syncing (对口型). In earlier work, Mindlin and his colleagues implanted electrodes in two Zebra Finches; for a recent study in Chaos, they did the same for two Great Kiskadees. This let them record and compare neuron (神经元) and muscle activity in the sleeping birds. When awake, Zebra Finches sing a well-regulated line of discontinuous notes. But their sleeping song movements are disjointed — “rather like a dream,” Mindlin says. A sleeping finch seems to silently practice a few “notes” and then add another, producing a pattern of muscle activity that reminds Mindlin “of learning a musical instrument.” Such “rehearsing” appears far less likely in the non-learning Great Kiskadees, says study co-author Ana Amador, a neuroscientist also at the University of Buenos Aires. For the new research, the scientists ran this species’ sensor output through a mathematical model Mindlin recently developed to translate muscle movements into hearable sounds. The Kiskadees’ sleeping tune comprised quick, identical note syllables that sounded astonishingly loud and strong — “more like a nightmare than a dream,” Amador says. University of Chicago neuroscientist Daniel Margoliash says the new results agree with his own observations of sleeping birds’ neurons. But he advises caution in describing this sleep activity as “dreaming.” Future work should more closely examine the sleep states the birds experience during this process, he says — including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a sleep stage that is closely associated with dreaming in other animals. 32. What does Mindlin’s study focus on? A. Singing-learning ability of sleeping birds. B. Dreams-song production links in birds. C. Birds’ brain operation during sleep. D. Mathematical model development. 33. What did Mindlin’s team do in a recent study? A. They observed the movement of lip-syncing. B. They analyzed the birds’ sleeping habits. C. They tracked sleeping birds’ muscle responses. D. They compared the singing skills of different birds. 34. How do the studied birds differ in sleep singing? A. Frequency of electrode implants. B. Brain region activation patterns. C. Song complexity and continuity. D. Preferred sleeping environments. 35. What can be the best title for this text? A. The Mystery of Birds Singing B. Muscle Movements in Sleeping Birds C. Sleeping Like Dreaming D. Musical Rehearsal in Birds’ Sleep 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述科学家研究鸟类睡眠时的情况及与唱歌的联系。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根根据第二段中“His research examines connections between birds’ dreams and song production—particularly in Zebra Finches, which often learn new sounds and songs, and in Great Kiskadees, which possess a limited born song learning capacity.(他的研究考察了鸟类的梦境与歌唱产生之间的联系——尤其是在斑胸草雀中，它们经常学习新的声音和歌曲，以及在巨嘴鸟中，它们天生学习歌曲的能力有限)”可知，Mindlin的研究重点是鸟类梦境与歌唱产生之间的联系。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In earlier work, Mindlin and his colleagues implanted electrodes in two Zebra Finches; for a recent study in Chaos, they did the same for two Great Kiskadees. This let them record and compare neuron (神经元) and muscle activity in the sleeping birds.(在早期的研究中，Mindlin和他的同事在两只斑胸草雀身上植入了电极；在最近发表在《混沌》杂志上的一项研究中，他们对两只巨嘴鸟也做了同样的处理。这让他们能够记录和比较睡眠中鸟类的神经元和肌肉活动)”可知，Mindlin的团队在最近的一项研究中追踪了睡眠中鸟类的肌肉反应。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When awake, Zebra Finches sing a well-regulated line of discontinuous notes. But their sleeping song movements are disjointed — “rather like a dream,” Mindlin says.(当清醒时，斑胸草雀会唱出一系列有规律的不连续音符。但它们睡眠中的歌唱动作是不连贯的——“更像是一场梦，”Mindlin说)”以及第五段中“The Kiskadees’ sleeping tune comprised quick, identical note syllables that sounded astonishingly loud and strong — ‘more like a nightmare than a dream,’ Amador says.(巨嘴鸟的睡眠曲调由快速、相同的音符音节组成，听起来惊人地响亮和有力——“更像是一场噩梦，而不是一场梦，”Amador说)”可知，所研究的鸟类在睡眠中歌唱的不同之处在于歌曲的复杂性和连续性。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Scientists tell us that when a bird silently nods off, it may dream as its singing muscles make sudden quick movements. Could it be rehearsing (排练) in its sleep?(科学家告诉我们，当一只鸟安静地打盹时，它可能会做梦，因为它的歌唱肌肉会突然快速移动。它会在睡梦中排练吗？)”结合文章主要介绍了科学家们对鸟类睡眠中歌唱行为的研究，研究发现鸟类在睡眠中可能会进行歌唱的“排练”，不同种类的鸟类在睡眠中歌唱的行为存在差异。可知，D选项“鸟类睡眠中的音乐排练”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 Society has leaned into the convenience of throwaway culture, with repair skills being lost across generations in favor of simply replacing items when they break. ___36___ This situation is causing damage to our planet every day.

This centuries-old practice, deeply ___57___ (root) in Chinese culture, was once a symbol of ___58___ (elegant) for women, especially in the southeastern regions. My experience took place in a quiet and poetic village near Quanzhou, where a local lady carefully arranged brilliant flowers into my hair. She explained that each flower carries meaning — peonies for prosperity, jasmine for purity. As she worked, I was amazed at how such ___59___ bunch of flowers could feel so special. ___60___ surprised me most was how the hairstyle transformed my appearance. The colorful blooms stood out brilliantly against my dark hair, thus ___61___ (draw) attention from villagers. “You look like a baihuaniang, a flower lady from our folk tales!” one elderly woman smiled.

What 61. drawing 62. becomes##has become 63. for 64. were removed 65. but 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者作为交换生在福建体验簪花这一传统艺术的经历，展现了簪花所承载的文化内涵与独特魅力，以及其背后所反映的中国人对自然与美的诗意追求。 【56题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在我去中国福建的旅行中，作为一名交换生，我有了一个令人愉快的机会去尝试簪花，这是一种用鲜花或丝绸花装饰头发的传统艺术。“opportunity”是名词，需要用形容词作定语来修饰，“delight”的形容词形式为“delightful”，意为“令人愉快的”。故填delightful。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种有着数百年历史的习俗深深植根于中国文化，曾经是女性优雅的象征，尤其是在东南地区。因句中已有谓语“was”，且“root”与“This centuries-old practice”之间为被动关系，所以此处用其过去分词作后置定语，“be rooted in”是固定短语，意为“植根于……”。故填rooted。 【58题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种有着数百年历史的习俗深深植根于中国文化，曾经是女性优雅的象征，尤其是在东南地区。“of”是介词，后面需要接名词作宾语，“elegant”的名词形式为“elegance”，意为“优雅”。故填elegance。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：当她给我簪花时，我很惊讶这么一束花竟能让人感觉如此特别。“a bunch of”是固定短语，意为“一束……”。故填a。 【60题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：最让我惊讶的是发型改变了我的外貌。“_____ surprised me most”是主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指物，所以用连接代词“what”引导，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填What。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：五颜六色的花朵在我乌黑的头发上显得格外醒目，因此吸引了村民们的注意。分析句子结构可知，逗号前为完整的句子，且逗号后无连词，所以空处应用非谓语动词形式。“thus”是副词，后面接现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故填drawing。 【62题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：如今，簪花在城市里已经很少见了，但在文化节和婚礼上却很流行。根据“Today”可知，句子可用一般现在时描述的现在的客观情况，也可以用现在完成时，强调从过去到现在的情况或对现在的影响，主语“zanhua”是单数，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故填becomes/has become。 63题详解】 考查介词。句意：对于旅行者来说，尝试簪花不仅仅是一个拍照的机会，它还是一座理解中国人对自然和美的诗意欣赏的桥梁。“appreciation for ...”是固定短语，意为“对……的欣赏”。故填for。 【64题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意：当我的花被摘下时，我不仅手里拿着花离开了，还带着一段珍贵的文化交流记忆。“flowers”和“remove”之间是被动关系，即“花被摘下”，且根据“left”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语“flowers”是复数，谓语动词用“were”。故填were removed。 【65题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：当我的花被摘下时，我不仅手里拿着花离开了，还带着一段珍贵的文化交流记忆。“not just ... but ...”是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，在口语课上，外教Alice组织同学们以小组为单位讨论人工智能是否会导致大规模失业，后以代表形式进行分享。请你作为代表上台发言，内容包括： 1. 小组观点； 2. 相关理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Alice and classmates, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Dear Alice and classmates, Our group believes AI will transform the job market rather than cause mass unemployment. Here are our reasons. Firstly, while AI automates repetitive tasks like factory work, it creates emerging fields. For example, AI trainers and robot maintenance technicians are now in high demand. Secondly, human skills remain irreplaceable. Professions requiring creativity, emotional intelligence, or complex decision-making will always need human input. Admittedly, some low-skilled workers may face challenges. However, this can be addressed through vocational retraining programs. Overall, we think AI won’t cause mass unemployment. Let us embrace AI as a tool to upgrade our society, not a threat to our future.

So one day, I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little cocker spaniel (可卡猎犬) trembling in a cage caught my eye right away. She had scared eyes and I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged. I gently petted her soft fur, and to my surprise, she stopped shaking. That was that. I filled out the paperwork and took my new dog — Honey home. I’d had her only a couple of weeks, but Honey and I quickly became close friends. She followed me like a shadow from the very first day. She loved sitting on my lap. We often went to the backyard, where I picked up a ball and threw it. I sat down to watch Honey race after the ball. We had great fun together. That October morning last year I decided to take Honey with me while I ran some errands (差事). She jumped in and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car. We lived in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, surrounded by tall redwoods. We had to drive up the mountain at a low speed to get to our driveway, which was barely wide enough for one car and ended at a steep cliff. I turned around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to protect my eyes. Suddenly, the car slipped in the soft soil and rolled down the valley. I heard a horrible crash. A giant branch plunged (扎进) through the roof and hit my leg. We landed upside down. I was stuck. I looked over to find Honey. She was still in the passenger seat. She seemed scared but was not hurt. 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。 I knew I had to do something to save us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I watched Honey fade out of my view my thoughts started to wander off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I knew I had to do something to save us. Blood was running down my leg from the branch that had pierced the roof. Pain shot through my body, but I couldn’t give up. I tried to move, but my leg was trapped. Honey barked loudly, her eyes full of fear and concern. She jumped out of the seat and started licking my face, as if trying to keep me awake. Then, she ran out through a broken window and disappeared into the woods. I didn’t know where she was going, but I prayed she would find help. As I watched Honey fade out of my view, my thoughts started to wander off. I felt weaker and colder by the minute. I thought about how she had come into my life when I needed a friend most. Now she was risking her life for mine. Hours passed, or maybe it was only minutes — I couldn’t tell. Then, in the distance, I heard voices and footsteps rushing toward me. It was Honey, leading rescuers through the thick forest. I smiled weakly, knowing my brave girl had saved me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者因妻子常出差感到孤单，于是从动物救助中心领养了一只可卡猎犬Honey，二者很快成为亲密朋友。在一次外出办事返程时，作者驾车因阳光刺眼发生意外，车辆翻入山谷，作者被困，猎犬Honey在情况危急中寻求救援的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容 “我知道我必须做点什么来救我们” 可知，第一段可描写作者受伤被困，尝试自救却无法挣脱，Honey 表现出担忧，通过舔作者脸等方式试图唤醒他，随后跑出去寻找救援。 ②由第二段首句内容 “当我看着 Honey 从我的视线中消失，我的思绪开始飘散” 可知，第二段可描写作者在等待过程中愈发虚弱，回忆与 Honey 相处的时光，最后 Honey 带领救援人员成功施救。 2. 续写线索：作者受伤被困——尝试自救失败——Honey 表现出担忧并离开寻找救援——作者等待救援时回忆过往——Honey带领救援人员到来——成功获救 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①舔：licking/tasting ②消失：disappeared/vanished ③冲向：rushing toward/dash for 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/fright/alarm ②担忧：concern/anxiety/worry 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She jumped out of the seat and started licking my face, as if trying to keep me awake.（运用了 as if 引导方式状语从句的省略结构） 【高分句型 2】I thought about how she had come into my life when I needed a friend most.（运用了how引导的宾语从句以及when引导的时间状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2025届高三年级五月份联合考试英语听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节，请看听力部分第一节。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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题，你将听到以下内容。Excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?

Today, I want to address a serious problem, plastic pollution in our oceans. Did you know that over eight million tons of plastic waste end up in oceans each year? Not only does IT harm marine life, but also affects human health through the food chain. For instance, sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them, leading to deadly lock ages. Recently, some experts visited a coastal town and saw beers covered with plastic bottles and fishing nets. What surprised the most was that, even in remote areas, microplate tics were found in the sand and sea water. Despite this, many communities, like property cycling systems and public awareness remains low. So what can we do to change the situation? First, schools should ban single, use plastic bottle in cafeteria and replace them with reusable containers. Second, local governments are expected to invest more money in waste management facilities. Last but not least, each of us can join the clean coast of volunteer program to remove trash from beaches monthly. By the way, more details about the program, please log into the website.
