B Kimberly Camp’s lively gallery in New Jersey is a treasure house of creativity, filled with a rich collection of artworks from around the world. Among the eye-catching displays are Camp’s own handmade dolls which bring every corner of the gallery to life with stories waiting to be discovered. Camp’s artistic journey kicked off when her mother once allowed her to pick out whatever crafts she wanted to try in the art store Zabar. She later pursued her passion by studying Studio Arts and Art History at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by a Master’s degree in Arts Administration. Though her later path wasn’t always smooth, Camp’s passion for art never faded. Her determination and talent paved the way for her remarkable career. As a doll maker, Kimberly Camp not only uses a diverse range of materials collected from across the globe to add the dolls’ unique charm but establishes a strong connection to African cultural heritage in her dolls. Her first dolls “Brown Babies” featured 32 traditional African dress designs, capturing people’s hearts with their cultural richness. Her breakthrough moment came in 1982 when her 55 Kwanzaa (宽扎节) dolls were sold out in just a few hours, pushing her into the spotlight. Soon after, she introduced “Kimkins”, a line of dolls dressed in traditional African fabrics, with distinctive hand-painted faces. At their pinnacle in 1985~1986, Camp produced 2,000 “Kimkins” annually. In fact, Camp’s dolls are more than toys but recognized as “soft sculptures” mirroring her personality and humor. Over years, her works have been shown in over 100 exhibitions across the U. S. and around the world. In 2020, Camp received the Award of Excellence: Craft Makes Us Human for her dolls. Today, Camp’s hands are never still. She continues to explore new artistic fields, fully absorbed in every moment of her art-filled life. 4. What inspired Kimberly Camp’s early interest in art? A. Her work in a gallery. B. Her visit to an art store. C. Her family background. D. Her university education. 5. What do we know about Kimberly Camp’s dolls? A. They reflect a new art form. B. They inspire more American artists. C. They are specially sold during Kwanzaa. D. They showcase traditional African elements. 6. Which words can best describe Kimberly Camp？ A. Honest and sincere. B. generous and smart. C. Determined and innovative . D. Caring and optimistic. 7. Which of the following could be the best title for this text? A. Telling the History of Africa Through Dolls. B. Weaving African Heritage into Soft Sculptures. C. Kimberly Camp: Master of Arts Administration. D. Kwanzaa Dolls: Bridging Generations with Tradition. C Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2million to five million tons of harmful trash to the planet by 2030. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe abandons annually. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞), lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, water and soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers risk their health to clean up rare metals. The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components, which are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-waste contribution, researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry’s growth rate. Their prediction is an estimate that could change based on various factors. This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies to slow down a bit,” he says. Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling. Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by2030. They have many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate. 8. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A. The Netherlands consumes too much electricity. B. The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages. C. AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making. D. The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive. 9. What is Shaolei Ren’s attitude toward the growth of AI companies? A. Indifferent. B. Cautious. C. Positive. D. Ambiguous. 10. What is the key to reducing e-waste? A. Adjusting AI application frequency. B. Prioritizing smartphone recycling. C. Banning the overuse of AI completely. D. Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis. B. E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI. C. E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI. D. AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand. D Recently, the growing eyebrow blindness has caused many TikTok users to complain on the platform: Are makeup enthusiasts able to tell if they’ re blindly chasing makeup trends or actually wearing what really looks good on their faces. While “eyebrow blindness” and other forms of “beauty blindness” aren’t officially regarded as mental health issues, the tendency of people to follow trends, even making them look foolish or taking risks, is undeniably a real thing. So, what does psychology say about trend-following? Following trends isn’t an indication of a weak character or a mental health problem, says psychologist Pamela Rutledge, it’s completely normal. The root of that lies in humans’ fundamental need of social connections. Multiple psychological theories indicate that human social connections are as crucial as basic necessities like food and shelter, as humans have evolved to depend on one another for survival. But why do trends hold such a strong pull? “Our brains are programmed to notice the unusual,” Rutledge explains. Consequently, we pay attention to those who stand out and attract attention, making trends even more enticing for those brave enough to embrace them. No one is immune to following fashions, noticing trends, or demonstrating their real belonging to social groups. However, there is one specific group that is even easier to following trends, even risky ones: Tweens, teens and young adults. As children begin to move towards adult independence, they seek ways to express their individuality. This can sometimes lead to desperate efforts to prove their affiliation (从属关系) with socially credible groups and can fuel desire to stand out by riding the wave of trends. So, next time you do makeup, get dressed, order food in public, or buy a car, bear in mind that your decision might not be as personalized as you think. “It’s essentially an inborn response, which can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd,” says Pamela. 12. Why is “eyebrow blindness” mentioned? A. It contrasts with “beauty blindness”. B. It illustrates a kind of makeup. C. It brings out the text’s core argument. D. It highlights the importance of beauty. 13. What does the underlined word “enticing” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Vital. B. Appealing. C. Demanding. D. Risky. 14. Why are youngsters more likely to follow trends? A. They pursue uniqueness and social recognition. B. They are easily affected by social pressure. C. They tend to show their social status. D They are always seeking adventures. 15. What does Pamela emphasize in the end? A. Trend-following is a natural behavior. B. Individuality stands out above trends. C. Tweens and teens are trend-setters. D. Social groups decide our behavior. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all experienced the frustration of forgetting what we studied yesterday. But memory isn’t just about natural talent. It’s a skill we can improve with smart strategies. Our brains naturally screen information. We forget 70% of new knowledge within 24 hours if we don’t review it. Your brain serves as a library. Whenever you revisit information, you’re placing it on a more accessible shelf. A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams. ____16____ ____17____ When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long. Sleep and calm minds are secret weapons for memory. During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late. ____18____ Taking slow breaths can protect your mental “library”. Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions: “____19____” This forces your brain to search information, strengthening memory pathways. Explaining concepts to friends, like teaching a classmate how to solve equations, uses speech and logic to deepen understanding. ____20____ By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time. A. How do I use this grammar rule in writing? B. This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick. C Forgetting is a common human condition without exception. D. Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones. E. Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter. F. Improving memory is more focused on holding on to what really counts. G. Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory. 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 个小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a rainy afternoon, I sat in a cozy coffee shop, enjoying a Latte. Unintentionally, a chat between two women grabbed my ____21____, who were discussing an upcoming party. One of them, called Sarah, seemed uneasy. “I don’t think I can attend it,” she said ____22____. “I’ve gained a few pounds, and just feel so…unattractive.” Her friend, Lisa, gave her a(n) ____23____ smile. “Oh, you’re stunning just the way you are.” But Sarah sighed, “On social media, everyone looks perfect. I just can’t ____24____ the standards.” Hearing this, I recalled my own ____25____ with beauty in high school, spending hours trying to “fix” myself, only to feel exhausted and empty. Fortunately, Mom noticed my ____26____ and reminded me, “Beauty isn’t about how you look but about how you feel inside.” Her words stayed with me. Gradually, I ____27____ my focus to activities that brought me joy and people who ____28____ me. The less I worried about appearance, the more my confidence grew. Back in the coffee shop, I wanted to share my story with Sarah but ____29____. Instead, I silently ____30____ her all the best in life. Later, I ____31____ Sarah at a bookstore. Her newfound ____32____ shone through. After chatting, one of her remarks “I had such a great time being myself” really ____33____ me. Her words ____34____ my mother’s wisdom: True beauty lies within, ____35____ self-acceptance, kindness, and the courage to be ourselves. 21. A. laughter B. reaction C. imagination D. attention 22.

I don’t have any talent.” I just don’t buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn’t believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 2023. At that time, I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy named Eugene Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn’t found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school’s running track. The teacher taught us various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it!” I had to wait for my turn, though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw-the best throw going about 30 yards-I looked at the teacher. “Hey, Orowitz, you want to try?” he asked. Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head. “Well, come on then,” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling-a new-found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I’d never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I watched as the spear took off. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The night I took the javelin home with me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 海南中学2024-2025学年第二学期高二年级第二次月考 英语试题 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

S. and around the world. In 2020, Camp received the Award of Excellence: Craft Makes Us Human for her dolls.(作为一名娃娃制造商，金伯利·坎普不仅使用从世界各地收集的各种材料来增加娃娃的独特魅力，而且在她的娃娃中建立了与非洲文化遗产的强烈联系。……事实上，坎普的娃娃不仅仅是玩具，而是被认为是反映她个性和幽默的“软雕塑”。多年来，她的作品在美国和世界各地的100多个展览中展出。2020年，坎普因她的娃娃获得了优秀奖：工艺使我们成为人类)”可知，本文主要讲述了Kimberly Camp将非洲文化遗产融入玩偶创作，其作品被称作“软雕塑”，所以B项“将非洲遗产编织成柔软的雕塑”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 C Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2million to five million tons of harmful trash to the planet by 2030. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe abandons annually. Cell phones computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞), lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, water and soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers risk their health to clean up rare metals. The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components, which are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-waste contribution, researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry’s growth rate. Their prediction is an estimate that could change based on various factors. This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts, says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies to slow down a bit,” he says. Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling. Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by2030. They have many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate. 8. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A. The Netherlands consumes too much electricity. B. The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages. C. AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making. D. The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive. 9. What is Shaolei Ren’s attitude toward the growth of AI companies? A. Indifferent. B. Cautious. C. Positive. D. Ambiguous. 10. What is the key to reducing e-waste? A. Adjusting AI application frequency. B. Prioritizing smartphone recycling. C. Banning the overuse of AI completely. D. Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis. B. E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI. C. E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI. D. AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI发展对环境（尤其是电子垃圾）的负面影响，并呼吁采取可持续措施。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2million to five million tons of harmful trash to the planet by 2030.(每次人工智能起草一封电子邮件或一张图片，地球都会为此付出代价。生成两张图片所消耗的能量与给智能手机充电一样多。到2027年，全球人工智能行业每年消耗的电量可能与荷兰一样多。一项新的研究发现了另一个问题：到2030年，仅生成性人工智能应用程序就可能给地球增加120万至500万吨有害垃圾。)”可知，人工智能的环境足迹是非常广泛且严重的。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts, says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies to slow down a bit,” he says.(加州大学河滨分校的研究员任少雷表示，这项研究的最大价值在于它对人工智能广泛的环境影响的关注。他说：“我们可能希望人工智能公司放慢脚步。”)”可知，任少雷指出研究价值在于关注AI的广泛环境影响，并建议“AI公司可能应该放慢发展速度”，表明他对AI公司快速增长持谨慎态度。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate.(例如，通过定期维护和更新，或者将磨损的设备转移到不那么密集的应用程序，可以延长服务器的使用寿命。该研究的作者估计，这些策略对于减少电子垃圾和造福社会至关重要。)”可知，减少电子废物的关键是采取延长设备寿命的措施。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2million to five million tons of harmful trash to the planet by 2030.(一项新的研究发现了另一个担忧：到2030年，仅生成式人工智能应用就可能给地球增加120万至500万吨有害垃圾。)”和倒数第二段“Few countries mandate(强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to carry out their existing laws on it.(很少有国家要求妥善处理电子垃圾，而那些要求妥善处理电子垃圾的国家也往往没有执行现有的相关法律。)”以及最后一段“Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action.(值得庆幸的是，一些公司声称将采取独立行动。)”可知，全文围绕AI加剧电子垃圾问题展开，从能耗、硬件更替到法律缺失，最终提出延长设备寿命的解决方案，A项“人工智能可能加剧电子垃圾危机”能概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选A项。 D Recently, the growing eyebrow blindness has caused many TikTok users to complain on the platform: Are makeup enthusiasts able to tell if they’ re blindly chasing makeup trends or actually wearing what really looks good on their faces. While “eyebrow blindness” and other forms of “beauty blindness” aren’t officially regarded as mental health issues, the tendency of people to follow trends, even making them look foolish or taking risks, is undeniably a real thing. So, what does psychology say about trend-following? Following trends isn’t an indication of a weak character or a mental health problem, says psychologist Pamela Rutledge, it’s completely normal. The root of that lies in humans’ fundamental need of social connections. Multiple psychological theories indicate that human social connections are as crucial as basic necessities like food and shelter, as humans have evolved to depend on one another for survival. But why do trends hold such a strong pull? “Our brains are programmed to notice the unusual,” Rutledge explains. Consequently, we pay attention to those who stand out and attract attention, making trends even more enticing for those brave enough to embrace them. No one is immune to following fashions, noticing trends, or demonstrating their real belonging to social groups. However, there is one specific group that is even easier to following trends, even risky ones: Tweens, teens and young adults. As children begin to move towards adult independence, they seek ways to express their individuality. This can sometimes lead to desperate efforts to prove their affiliation (从属关系) with socially credible groups and can fuel desire to stand out by riding the wave of trends. So, next time you do makeup, get dressed, order food in public, or buy a car, bear in mind that your decision might not be as personalized as you think. “It’s essentially an inborn response, which can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd,” says Pamela. 12. Why is “eyebrow blindness” mentioned? A. It contrasts with “beauty blindness”. B. It illustrates a kind of makeup. C. It brings out the text’s core argument. D. It highlights the importance of beauty. 13. What does the underlined word “enticing” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Vital. B. Appealing. C. Demanding. D. Risky. 14. Why are youngsters more likely to follow trends? A. They pursue uniqueness and social recognition. B. They are easily affected by social pressure. C. They tend to show their social status. D. They are always seeking adventures. 15. What does Pamela emphasize in the end? A. Trend-following is a natural behavior. B. Individuality stands out above trends. C Tweens and teens are trend-setters. D. Social groups decide our behavior. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由“眉盲”现象引出对追潮流这一行为的探讨，分析了追潮流的原因，指出年轻人更易追潮流，并强调追潮流是一种自然反应。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently, the growing eyebrow blindness has caused many TikTok users to complain on the platform: Are makeup enthusiasts able to tell if they’re blindly chasing makeup trends or actually wearing what really looks good on their faces. While ‘eyebrow blindness’ and other forms of ‘beauty blindness’ aren’t officially regarded as mental health issues, the tendency of people to follow trends, even making them look foolish or taking risks, is undeniably a real thing.(最近，越来越多的‘眉盲’现象让许多TikTok用户在平台上抱怨：美妆爱好者能否分辨出自己是在盲目追逐美妆潮流，还是真的化了适合自己的妆容。虽然‘眉盲’和其他形式的‘美盲’并未被官方认定为心理健康问题，但人们追潮流的倾向，即使这会让他们看起来很愚蠢或冒风险，也无疑是真实存在的)”可知，提到“眉盲”是为了引出关于人们追潮流这一核心论点。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在部分“‘Our brains are programmed to notice the unusual,’ Rutledge explains. Consequently, we pay attention to those who stand out and attract attention, making trends even more enticing for those brave enough to embrace them.(‘我们的大脑天生就会注意不寻常的事物，’Rutledge解释道。因此，我们关注那些脱颖而出、引人注目的人，让那些勇敢拥抱潮流的人更enticing)”中“we pay attention to those who stand out and attract attention”可知，人们会关注那些不寻常的事物和脱颖而出、引人注目的人，所以拥抱潮流的人会成为关注的对象，他们会更有吸引力。故划线词enticing的意思是“有吸引力的”，与“Appealing”同义。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As children begin to move towards adult independence, they seek ways to express their individuality. This can sometimes lead to desperate efforts to prove their affiliation (从属关系) with socially credible groups and can fuel desire to stand out by riding the wave of trends.(随着孩子们开始走向成人独立，他们会寻求表达个性的方式。这有时会导致他们拼命努力以证明自己隶属于社会上有信誉的群体，并激发他们通过追赶潮流来脱颖而出的欲望)”可知，年轻人更容易追潮流是因为他们追求独特性和社会认可。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘It’s essentially an inborn response, which can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd,’ says Pamela.(‘这本质上是一种天生的反应，可以用我们融入群体或从人群中脱颖而出的需求来解释，’Pamela说)”可知，Pamela最后强调追潮流是一种自然行为。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all experienced the frustration of forgetting what we studied yesterday. But memory isn’t just about natural talent. It’s a skill we can improve with smart strategies. Our brains naturally screen information. We forget 70% of new knowledge within 24 hours if we don’t review it. Your brain serves as a library. Whenever you revisit information, you’re placing it on a more accessible shelf. A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams. ____16____ ____17____ When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long. Sleep and calm minds are secret weapons for memory. During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late. ____18____ Taking slow breaths can protect your mental “library”. Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions: “____19____” This forces your brain to search information, strengthening memory pathways. Explaining concepts to friends, like teaching a classmate how to solve equations, uses speech and logic to deepen understanding. ____20____ By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time. A. How do I use this grammar rule in writing? B. This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick. C. Forgetting is a common human condition without exception. D. Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones. E. Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter. F Improving memory is more focused on holding on to what really counts. G. Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些提高记忆力的有效策略，包括定期复习、运用联想记忆、保证睡眠和保持冷静、主动练习等。 【16题详解】 根据上文“A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams.( 如果一个学生在课后、睡前、三天后再复习一遍数学公式，他会发现在考试时更容易记住。)”提到学生课后、睡前和三天后复习数学公式的例子，说明了间隔复习的方法。B选项“This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick.( 这种“间隔重复”能让记忆更牢固。)”中的“spaced repetition”与前文的复习方法相呼应，总结了这种间隔复习能使记忆留存的作用，故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据后文内容“When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long.( 当背诵像“光合作用”这样的单词时，简单地重复拼写往往很快就会失败。相反，在阅读生物教科书时，想象阳光照射在绿叶上。它结合了文本、图像和现实世界的含义，同时激活了大脑的多个区域。同样，把“菠萝”和“带苹果的松树”联系起来，会产生一种有趣的印象，让人难以忘怀。)”通过举例说明将单词与具体的图像、实际意义相结合能更好地记忆，即通过上下文情境来加强记忆。D选项“Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones.( 上下文情境将薄弱且不确定的记忆转化为永久的记忆。)”符合该段主旨，总结该段内容，适合作为该段小标题。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late.( 在深度睡眠中，大脑会像图书管理员整理书籍一样重新组织白天的学习。研究表明，睡眠7-8小时的学生比那些熬夜的学生多记住40%的历史事实。)”提到睡眠对记忆的好处，该段主题是睡眠和冷静的头脑对记忆的作用。G选项“Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory.( 然而，感到压力会使大脑充斥着损害记忆的化学物质。)”与前文形成对比，说明压力对记忆的负面影响，强调了保持冷静的重要性。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions:( 主动练习胜过被动阅读。不要机械地重读笔记，把标题变成自我测试的问题：)”提到将标题转化为自我测试问题，A选项“How do I use this grammar rule in writing?( 我如何在写作中使用这个语法规则？)”是一个具体的自我测试问题的例子，符合“将标题转化为自我测试问题”这一策略。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time.( 通过间隔复习，建立生动的精神联系，照顾大脑的需要，你可以把暂时的知识变成终身的智慧——一次一小步，一步一步。)”可知，通过这些方法可以将临时知识转化为终身智慧，强调的是学习方法的重要性。E选项“Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter.( 掌握记忆不是在于学习时间更长，而是学习更明智。)”总结了全文，强调了运用有效策略提高记忆力，而不是单纯延长学习时间。故选E项。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 个小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a rainy afternoon, I sat in a cozy coffee shop, enjoying a Latte.

I don’t have any talent.” I just don’t buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn’t believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 2023. At that time, I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy named Eugene Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn’t found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school’s running track. The teacher taught us various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it!” I had to wait for my turn, though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw-the best throw going about 30 yards-I looked at the teacher. “Hey, Orowitz, you want to try?” he asked. Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head. “Well, come on then,” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling-a new-found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I’d never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I watched as the spear took off. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The night I took the javelin home with me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I watched as the spear took off. My heart quickened as the Javelin sailed through the sky and finally inserted heavily into the ground, surpassing 30 yards. It turned out to be the best throw. At the sight of the result, all my classmates present burst into thunderous applause. At that moment, the teacher patted me on the shoulder, smiling to encourage me to join the school team and practice more. Suddenly, a surge of confidence rose up inside me and I felt I gradually fitted in my class. That night I took the javelin home with me. I stared at the javelin, reflecting on what had happened in the gym class. A thought suddenly occurred to me that I should practice it hard. The following months witnessed my efforts in practicing javelin. Finally, the glory of the champion in a javelin competition enveloped me and a smile spread across my face when I stepped onto the award platform. At the moment, it downed on me that everyone has a talent as long as he or she can make attempts with courage. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次体育课上发现自己擅长投掷标枪的经历，展示了从自我怀疑到发现自身天赋并努力练习最终取得成功的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我看着标枪飞了出去。”可知，第一段可描写作者的标枪投掷非常好，作者突然有了自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，我把标枪带回了家。”可知，第二段可描写作者把标枪带回家，不断提醒自己，同时也开始积极努力练习标枪。由此之后，作者意识到只要勇于尝试，每个人都有天赋。 2.续写线索：心中紧张——同学欢呼——老师鼓励——回家练习——取得成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①突然爆发：burst into/burst out ②见证：witness/see ③突然想到：it downed on sb. that/it occurred to sb. that 情绪类 ①心跳加速：heart quickened/ heart raced ②鼓励：encourage/inspire 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart quickened as the Javelin sailed through the sky and finally inserted heavily into the ground, surpassing 30 yards.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】I stared at the javelin, reflecting on what had happened in the gym class.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
