When he returned to Iowa, Wood applied the painting techniques he had learned in Europe to the countryside life he saw around him and what he remembered from his childhood around the turn of the century.

(Iditarod Trail Committee (ITC) 保留在获奖设计中包含以下部分/全部文字的权利：2026, Iditarod, Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race®, The Last Great Race®)”可知，获奖设计中不能包含2026, Iditarod, Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race®, The Last Great Race®，由此可知，将“Iditarod”添加到艺术品中会导致参赛者退出比赛。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“How is the winner determined?”部分关键句“Voting will start on August 5, 2025, with results announced via email and Iditarod’s social media outlets throughout the voting period, which will end on August 16, 2025. (投票将于2025年8月5日开始，投票结果将在整个投票期间通过电子邮件和Iditarod的社交媒体公布，投票期将于2025年8月16日结束)”可知，投票期将于2025年8月16日结束。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What will the winner get?”部分关键句“Be featured in an Iditarod Newsletter and on social media.

He, too, found writing difficult. The only way he’d been able to produce anything that approximate (接近) a consistent academic output was by devoting half an hour to it everyday. In that half hour, he had two options: he could write, or he could do nothing. Sometimes he sat there for quite a long time before he wrote but he always came away from the session with new words on the page. Soon afterwards I gave his technique a go — and it stuck. Sometimes I’ve had to stick my phone in a drawer with a timer running to avoid doomscrolling Twitter instead, social media does not count as “doing nothing” but, in the years since, I’ve reverted to this technique whenever I find myself at a creative impasse (僵局) on a project. It helped me finish a book a few years ago, and it helped me get the first 15,000 words of something new down just a few months ago. One of the main reasons it works, I think, is that it overcomes the first, and biggest barrier: showing up. Procrastination (拖延) can get in anyone’s way but I’ve also noticed creative people in particular can get all caught up in their messy feelings about their work and whether or not the conditions are right for them to channel their muse (灵感). If working in journalism has taught me anything, it’s that there is no “right” time and there are no “right” conditions; there is the time you have. You use the materials you’ve got. And the first precondition of getting anything done at all is trying to do it. So if you’re struggling with something creative, just give yourself 30 minutes. You’ll either do the work or you’ll do nothing. But at least you’ll be able to say you showed up. 24. What does the text show about Rob’s approach to writing? A. He relied on inspiration to guide his writing. B. He wrote for long uninterrupted periods of time. C. He turned to writing in moments of uncertainty. D. He set aside half an hour each day to write or do nothing. 25. What does the underlined part “reverted to” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Contributed to. B. Returned to. C. Accounted for. D. Apologized for. 26. How does the text characterize the relationship between procrastination and creativity? A. Procrastination can stop the creative process. B. Procrastination is a sign of a lack of creativity. C. Procrastination is more popular among creative individuals. D. Procrastination can be an essential part of the creative process. 27. What is the first step for getting anything creative done according to the text? A. Having the right materials. B. Having the right conditions. C. Feeling inspired by a muse. D. Making an attempt to start the work. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者用每天半小时写作法克服创作困难的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The only way he’d been able to produce anything that approximate (接近) a consistent academic output was by devoting half an hour to it everyday. In that half hour, he had two options: he could write, or he could do nothing. (他能够产出接近稳定学术成果唯一方法，是每天花半小时专注于此。在那半小时里，他只有两种选择：要么写作，要么什么都不做)”可知，Rob的写作方法是每天留出半个小时来写作或什么都不做。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Soon afterwards I gave his technique a go — and it stuck. (不久之后，我尝试了他的方法——而且它奏效了)”以及所在句子“in the years since, I’ve reverted to this technique whenever I find myself at a creative impasse (僵局) on a project. (从那以后，每当我在项目中陷入创作僵局时，都会reverted to这种方法)”可知，作者尝试了Rob的方法后，发现它奏效了，后来每当作者在项目中遇到创作僵局时，作者都会重新使用这个方法，即划线词意思是“重新使用”。A. Contributed to.有助于；B. Returned to.重新使用；C. Accounted for.说明……的原因；D. Apologized for.为……道歉。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Procrastination (拖延) can get in anyone’s way but I’ve also noticed creative people in particular can get all caught up in their messy feelings about their work and whether or not the conditions are right for them to channel their muse (灵感). (拖延会阻碍任何人，但我也注意到，尤其是富有创造力的人，他们可能会陷入对自己工作的混乱情绪中，以及是否适合他们激发灵感的环境中)”可推知，拖延会阻碍富有创造力的人的创作过程。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“And the first precondition of getting anything done at all is trying to do it. (而完成任何事情的第一个先决条件就是尝试去做)”可知，完成任何创造性工作的第一步是尝试开始这项工作。故选D。 C Scientists now know that healthy soils have a unique sound landscape produced by invertebrates (无脊椎动物) such as earthworms and ants, but they have not yet studied how this background noise in the ecosystem affects plant and fungal (真菌的) growth. To investigate the impacts of sound on fungi, Jake Robinson at Flinders University in Australia and his team buried regular teabags in soil inside a soundproof (隔音的) box. Inside the box, they played an 8 kHz tone at a volume of 70 dB for one set of teabags and 90 dB for another, 8 hours per day for 14 days. A control group received only ambient (周围的) sound stimulation of less than 30 dB. At the end of the experiment, both sets of teabags exposed to sound had increased in weight, from 2.5 grams to 3.1 grams on average, due to the growth of fungi. The control teabags stayed the same weight on average. Robinson notes that much more work is required to fully explain their observations. While the results may seem surprising, he says we can think of sound as an energy input which the fungi are somehow turning into growth. This may be through a so-called piezoelectric effect (压电效应) , in which mechanical pressure is transformed into electrical energy. He hopes the research leads to ways to restore habitats by broadcasting sounds. “We now need to build on these findings and transform them into an applied use,” Robinson says. “If we can use these findings in ecosystem restoration and agriculture, then that would be great.” Christina Birnbaum at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia, says in terms of ecosystem restoration, this is pioneering work. However, the mechanism (机制) by which sound is translated to growth is still unclear. “The next step is to recreate these findings in the field where you have all these other factors complicating the laboratory results,” Birnbaum says. 28. What was the aim of Jake Robinson’s experiment? A. To see how sounds influence fungi. B. To find a way to improve soil health. C. To determine the harm of background noise. D. To explore why invertebrates produce sound. 29. What happened to the teabags in the experimental group? A. They changed color. B. They became heavier. C. They were eaten by earthworms. D. They were well integrated with the soil. 30. What is the piezoelectric effect used to explain? A. The growth of fungi. B. The process of restoring habitats. C.

Political borders are what frequently determine language borders, but there are also a host of other cultural, economic and, yes, geographical considerations. At its simplest, geography is the study of the features that make up the earth: the mountains, the plains, the continents and so on. That said, the field is often split into two: physical geography and human geography. The former refers to looking at the actual physical features of the Earth. Human geography, though, is how humans interact with the planet, which includes quite a few things: the borders we’ve made, the paths of migration, the ways human society has changed the environment and more. Language geography fits neatly into this second type, because languages have been shaped and changed by the world around us, in ways obvious and not. First, we’ll look at physical geographies and their effect on language evolution, before looking at how human geography has also played a major role in the way we speak. To understand language geography, it’s important to understand linguistic drift, which describes how languages change over time, similar to genetic variation (基因变异). Historically, before national languages were established, languages spread geographically as gradients of dialects (方言的梯度). Geographical features like mountains, rivers, and deserts significantly influence how well neighboring communities can understand each other. For instance, mountain ranges can set language speakers apart, causing languages to branch off significantly, as seen with the Basque language (Euskara), which developed separately with no close linguistic relatives. Meanwhile, wide, flat areas like plains are called linguistic spread zones. These are regions with many languages, where different groups of speakers mix and often replace one another over time. These include areas like the Eurasian steppe, the American Great Plains and sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, altitude (高度)affects language sound production. A study published in PLoS ONE found a correlation between high-altitude languages and ejective consonants—sounds made with bursts of air rather than through lung power. This sound production method may help conserve water vapor, which is vital in high-altitude environments, acting as a biological adaptation to prevent dehydration (脱水)and altitude sickness. 32. What can be learned about language geography? A. It is one of the branches of genetics. B. It mainly studies the feature of our planet. C. It involves obvious changes in human history. D. It focuses on human interaction with the Earth. 33. What are the languages probably like in the American Great Plains? A. They come and go. B. They differ dramatically. C. They develop independently. D. They have special sounds. 34. What will probably be discussed next? A. The role of dialects in language evolution. B. The application of the sound production method. C. The influence of human geography on how we speak. D. The difference of languages across different countries. 35. What is the best title for this passage? A. When National Languages Were Established B. Why Languages Change Continuously C. How Geography Impacts Languages D. What Determines Political Borders 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了语言地理学这一研究领域，阐述了其与人类地理学的关系，以及自然地理特征（如山脉、平原、海拔等）对语言演变的影响，并暗示接下来将探讨人文地理对语言的作用。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Human geography, though, is how humans interact with the planet(然而，人文地理学研究的是人类如何与地球相互作用)”以及第三段“Language geography fits neatly into this second type(语言地理学恰好属于这第二种类型)”可知，语言地理学属于人文地理学范畴，关注的是人类与地球的相互作用。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Meanwhile, wide, flat areas like plains are called linguistic spread zones. These are regions with many languages, where different groups of speakers mix and often replace one another over time.(与此同时，像平原这样广阔平坦的区域被称为语言传播区。这些地区存在多种语言，不同的语言群体在此相互交融，且随着时间推移常常相互取代)” 可推知，美国大平原的语言可能不断变化。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“First, we’ll look at physical geographies and their effect on language evolution, before looking at how human geography has also played a major role in the way we speak.(首先，我们将研究自然地理及其对语言演变的影响，然后再研究人文地理在我们说话方式中所起的主要作用)”并结合倒数三段已经介绍自然地理影响推知，接下来可能讨论人文地理对我们说话方式的影响。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇点明“Language geography is a field of study that examines the way languages are distributed across the globe(语言地理学是研究语言在全球分布方式的一个研究领域)”，接着阐述 “Political borders are what frequently determine language borders, but there are also a host of other cultural, economic and, yes, geographical considerations(政治边界常常决定语言边界，但也有许多其他文化、经济以及地理方面的考量因素)”明确指出地理因素对语言分布有影响。随后详细说明自然地理特征，如第五段“Geographical features like mountains, rivers, and deserts significantly influence how well neighboring communities can understand each other(山脉、河流和沙漠等地理特征显著影响相邻社区之间的相互理解程度)” 以及最后一段“Additionally, altitude (高度)affects language sound production(此外，海拔影响语言发音)” 等对语言演变和特点的影响。综合来看，文章主要围绕地理如何影响语言展开。所以短文的标题为“地理如何影响语言”。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 4 Mistakes to Avoid in Your 20s Your 20s are such a fun time in your life, but it’s also extremely challenging as you are entering the “real” world.

Not learning from everyone around you D. Find hobbies that keep you physically active and mentally sharp E. You’ll likely be getting your first “adult” job and potentially moving to a new city F. When you ask most people of any age what their greatest stresses are, money is always up top G. But they are also the easiest way to put yourself in a hole that will take years to dig yourself out of 【答案】36. E 37. A 38. D 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了二十多岁应该避免的几个误区。 【36题详解】 由上文“Your 20s are such a fun time in your life, but it’s also extremely challenging as you are entering the ‘real’ world. There are a lot of things that are brand new. (你20多岁是人生中非常有趣的时光，但当你进入“真实”世界时，这也是极具挑战性的。有很多事情都是全新的)”可知，20多岁这个阶段充满新事物和挑战。E项中的first和new呼应上一句中的brand new，E项“你可能会得到你的第一份“成人”工作，并可能搬到一个新的城市”进一步阐述了进入“真实”世界会面临的具体新情况，与上文衔接紧密，说明这个阶段会面临工作和新城市等全新体验，符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 由上文“Your first job, and likely your second, will probably not be your forever career. (你的第一份工作，甚至可能是第二份工作，可能都不会是你终身的职业)”以及下文“Your 20s are the best years to explore different jobs to discover what your true strengths and passions are before settling on a single career path. (20多岁是探索不同工作的最佳时期，在选定单一职业道路之前，发现你真正的优势和激情所在)”可知，上文提到工作可能不是终身的，下文强调20多岁要探索工作。A项“这完全是正常的”承接上文，对这种工作可能不是终身职业的情况表示理解，认为这很正常，同时引出下文20多岁探索工作的内容。故选A。 【38题详解】 由上文“Starting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle early on will dramatically improve the quality of your life as you age. (尽早开始并保持健康的生活方式会随着年龄的增长极大地提高你的生活质量)”以及下文“It could be dancing, playing soccer, hiking, etc. (它可以是跳舞、踢足球、徒步旅行等)”可知，上文强调健康生活方式的重要性，下文列举了一些活动。D项“找到能让你保持身体活跃和思维敏捷的爱好”承上启下，说明要找到一些爱好来保持健康，与下文列举的活动相呼应。故选D。 【39题详解】 由上文“It CRUSHES me that schools don’t teach you about credit cards. Credit cards attract people with the promise of rewards and free vacations to tourist attractions. (学校不教你信用卡知识，这让我很沮丧。信用卡以奖励和免费去旅游景点度假为诱饵吸引人们)”可知，上文提到信用卡的吸引力。G项中的they指代上句中的Credit cards，G项“但它们也是让你陷入一个需要数年才能摆脱的困境的最简单方法”转折，说明信用卡虽然有吸引力，但也会带来严重后果，与上文形成对比，符合语境。故选G。 【40题详解】 由下文“You’re starting a new stage of your life, and a valuable thing you can do for the future is to be a sponge (海绵) and soak up (吸收) as much information as possible. Everyone you interact with has something valuable to teach you and take advantage of all this knowledge.”（你正在开启人生的新阶段，为未来做的一件有价值的事情就是像海绵一样吸收尽可能多的信息。与你交往的每个人都有值得你学习的东西，要利用所有这些知识)”可知，下文主要谈了在二十多岁时有必要像海绵一样吸收新知识，强调了在生活中积极向身边的人学习的重要性。下文中的Everyone you interact with和C项中的everyone around you构成同义复现，C项“不向周围人学习”与下文内容形成反义关系，作为小标题引出下文要阐述的向周围人学习的内容，符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When a group of kids are engaged in a passionate conversation, it would be ___41___ to assume they’re discussing video games.

This annual event brings together students of the same nationality to prepare a performance that reflects their own cultural elements. Our team settled on sword dancing (剑舞) and all of us felt well-prepared. On the day before the show, food stands representing different countries lined the school hallways and cafeteria, creating a joyful and relaxed atmosphere. After changing into our costumes in the dressing room, my friend Emma and I hurriedly joined others in tasting the delightful dishes prepared by parents. There were Chinese dumplings, Indian samosas, New York cheesecakes and many other foods. Soon our hands were full. Laughing at each other’s amusing expressions while tasting the delicious food, we made our way back to the dressing room. Soon, the stage manager delivered the news that the audience was entering the auditorium (礼堂) , signaling that the show was about to begin. Our performance was second on the list, following the opening speech and the show from the United States. So, everyone gathered their props, checked their hair and makeup, and prepared for some last-minute practice. It was at this moment that Emma shouted beside me. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “I can’t find my sword!” Emma cried. Soon, everyone gathered around. “It was right here on this table before I went to the cafeteria! But now it’s gone!” Emma’s eyes were filled with tears. Without her sword, she wouldn’t be able to dance with the rest of us.

The dressing room echoed with the clatter of overturned chairs and the anxious whispers of my teammates. I retraced Emma’s steps from the cafeteria, but the sword was nowhere to be seen. As the show from the United States began, panic enveloped us. Emma forced a smile and urged, “It’s my fault that I misplaced the sword. I know you guys will do a great job.” We assured her that nobody was placing the blame on her. Right before going onto the stage I decided not to give up and looked around one last time. Ignoring the urgent calls from the stage manager, I dashed towards the dressing room where a flash of metal under the tablecloth caught my eye. My hands trembled as I lifted the cloth, revealing Emma’s sword. “Found it!” I shouted, waving the sword triumphantly. Emma’s bright smile mirrored the relief that washed over the team. As the stage curtains parted, exchanging smiles with Emma, we stepped into the spotlight together with confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了中国表演团队为学校即将到来的国际日展示活动做准备的过程，包括他们选择的剑舞表演、在活动前一天品尝各国美食的欢乐场景，以及在表演即将开始时，团队成员Emma突然发现她的剑不见了，这给整个团队带来了巨大的打击，因为这可能意味着她两个月来的练习将付诸东流。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“由于距离我们的表演还有一段时间，大家很快就开始在房间里四处寻找剑。”可知，第一段可描写Emma和他的小伙伴们寻找剑的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在上台之前，我决定不放弃，最后一次环顾四周。”可知，第二段可描写作者在最后一刻找到了剑，大家一起登台演出。 2.续写线索：丢剑——大家一起寻找——寻找无果——出现转机——找到剑——共同登台表演 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shiver ②确保：assure/make sure ③猛冲：dash/rush 情绪类 ①焦虑的：anxious/restless ②微笑：smile/beam 【点睛】[高分句型1]We assured her that nobody was placing the blame on her.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句） [高分句型2]Ignoring the urgent calls from the stage manager, I dashed towards the dressing room where a flash of metal under the tablecloth caught my eye. （运用了现在分词作状语，where引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025第二学期诊断性考试 高二英语 （考试时间：120分钟 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2B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，再选涂其它答案标号。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） 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why is the woman taking the train?

B I was struggling with writing and my brother-in-law, Rob, a professor of ethics (伦理学), offered a small insight into his own practice. He, too, found writing difficult. The only way he’d been able to produce anything that approximate (接近) a consistent academic output was by devoting half an hour to it everyday. In that half hour, he had two options: he could write, or he could do nothing. Sometimes he sat there for quite a long time before he wrote but he always came away from the session with new words on the page. Soon afterwards I gave his technique a go — and it stuck. Sometimes I’ve had to stick my phone in a drawer with a timer running to avoid doomscrolling Twitter instead, social media does not count as “doing nothing” but, in the years since, I’ve reverted to this technique whenever I find myself at a creative impasse (僵局) on a project. It helped me finish a book a few years ago, and it helped me get the first 15,000 words of something new down just a few months ago. One of the main reasons it works, I think, is that it overcomes the first, and biggest barrier: showing up. Procrastination (拖延) can get in anyone’s way but I’ve also noticed creative people in particular can get all caught up in their messy feelings about their work and whether or not the conditions are right for them to channel their muse (灵感). If working in journalism has taught me anything, it’s that there is no “right” time and there are no “right” conditions; there is the time you have. You use the materials you’ve got. And the first precondition of getting anything done at all is trying to do it. So if you’re struggling with something creative, just give yourself 30 minutes. You’ll either do the work or you’ll do nothing. But at least you’ll be able to say you showed up. 24. What does the text show about Rob’s approach to writing? A. He relied on inspiration to guide his writing. B. He wrote for long uninterrupted periods of time. C. He turned to writing in moments of uncertainty. D. He set aside half an hour each day to write or do nothing. 25. What does the underlined part “reverted to” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Contributed to. B. Returned to. C. Accounted for. D. Apologized for. 26. How does the text characterize the relationship between procrastination and creativity? A. Procrastination can stop the creative process. B. Procrastination is a sign of a lack of creativity. C. Procrastination is more popular among creative individuals. D. Procrastination can be an essential part of the creative process. 27. What is the first step for getting anything creative done according to the text? A. Having the right materials. B. Having the right conditions. C. Feeling inspired by a muse. D. Making an attempt to start the work. C Scientists now know that healthy soils have a unique sound landscape produced by invertebrates (无脊椎动物) such as earthworms and ants, but they have not yet studied how this background noise in the ecosystem affects plant and fungal (真菌的) growth. To investigate the impacts of sound on fungi, Jake Robinson at Flinders University in Australia and his team buried regular teabags in soil inside a soundproof (隔音的) box. Inside the box, they played an 8 kHz tone at a volume of 70 dB for one set of teabags and 90 dB for another, 8 hours per day for 14 days. A control group received only ambient (周围的) sound stimulation of less than 30 dB. At the end of the experiment, both sets of teabags exposed to sound had increased in weight, from 2.5 grams to 3.1 grams on average, due to the growth of fungi. The control teabags stayed the same weight on average. Robinson notes that much more work is required to fully explain their observations. While the results may seem surprising, he says we can think of sound as an energy input which the fungi are somehow turning into growth. This may be through a so-called piezoelectric effect (压电效应) , in which mechanical pressure is transformed into electrical energy. He hopes the research leads to ways to restore habitats by broadcasting sounds. “We now need to build on these findings and transform them into an applied use” Robinson says. “If we can use these findings in ecosystem restoration and agriculture, then that would be great.” Christina Birnbaum at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia, says in terms of ecosystem restoration, this is pioneering work. However, the mechanism (机制) by which sound is translated to growth is still unclear. “The next step is to recreate these findings in the field where you have all these other factors complicating the laboratory results,” Birnbaum says. 28. What was the aim of Jake Robinson’s experiment? A. To see how sounds influence fungi. B. To find a way to improve soil health. C. To determine the harm of background noise. D. To explore why invertebrates produce sound. 29. What happened to the teabags in the experimental group? A. They changed color. B. They became heavier. C. They were eaten by earthworms. D. They were well integrated with the soil. 30. What is the piezoelectric effect used to explain? A. The growth of fungi. B. The process of restoring habitats. C. The potential applications of this study. D. The transformation of electrical energy. 31. What does Christina Birnbaum suggest for the next step of study? A. Conducting more laboratory experiments. B. Extending the study to a real-world setting. C. Identifying the factors affecting the laboratory results. D. Exploring alternative methods for ecosystem restoration. D Language geography is a field of study that examines the way languages are distributed across the globe, forming linguistic countries and nation-states of their own. Political borders are what frequently determine language borders, but there are also a host of other cultural, economic and, yes, geographical considerations. At its simplest, geography is the study of the features that make up the earth: the mountains, the plains, the continents and so on. That said, the field is often split into two: physical geography and human geography. The former refers to looking at the actual physical features of the Earth. Human geography, though, is how humans interact with the planet, which includes quite a few things: the borders we’ve made, the paths of migration, the ways human society has changed the environment and more. Language geography fits neatly into this second type, because languages have been shaped and changed by the world around us, in ways obvious and not. First, we’ll look at physical geographies and their effect on language evolution, before looking at how human geography has also played a major role in the way we speak. To understand language geography, it’s important to understand linguistic drift, which describes how languages change over time, similar to genetic variation (基因变异). Historically, before national languages were established, languages spread geographically as gradients of dialects (方言的梯度). Geographical features like mountains, rivers, and deserts significantly influence how well neighboring communities can understand each other. For instance, mountain ranges can set language speakers apart, causing languages to branch off significantly, as seen with the Basque language (Euskara), which developed separately with no close linguistic relatives. Meanwhile, wide, flat areas like plains are called linguistic spread zones. These are regions with many languages, where different groups of speakers mix and often replace one another over time. These include areas like the Eurasian steppe, the American Great Plains and sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, altitude (高度)affects language sound production. A study published in PLoS ONE found a correlation between high-altitude languages and ejective consonants—sounds made with bursts of air rather than through lung power. This sound production method may help conserve water vapor, which is vital in high-altitude environments, acting as a biological adaptation to prevent dehydration (脱水)and altitude sickness. 32. What can be learned about language geography? A. It is one of the branches of genetics. B. It mainly studies the feature of our planet. C. It involves obvious changes in human history. D. It focuses on human interaction with the Earth. 33. What are the languages probably like in the American Great Plains? A. They come and go. B. They differ dramatically. C. They develop independently. D. They have special sounds. 34. What will probably be discussed next? A. The role of dialects in language evolution. B. The application of the sound production method. C. The influence of human geography on how we speak. D. The difference of languages across different countries. 35. What is the best title for this passage? A. When National Languages Were Established B. Why Languages Change Continuously C. How Geography Impacts Languages D. What Determines Political Borders 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。 4 Mistakes to Avoid in Your 20s Your 20s are such a fun time in your life, but it’s also extremely challenging as you are entering the “real” world.

This annual event brings together students of the same nationality to prepare a performance that reflects their own cultural elements. Our team settled on sword dancing (剑舞) and all of us felt well-prepared. On the day before the show, food stands representing different countries lined the school hallways and cafeteria, creating a joyful and relaxed atmosphere. After changing into our costumes in the dressing room, my friend Emma and I hurriedly joined others in tasting the delightful dishes prepared by parents. There were Chinese dumplings, Indian samosas, New York cheesecakes and many other foods. Soon our hands were full. Laughing at each other’s amusing expressions while tasting the delicious food, we made our way back to the dressing room. Soon, the stage manager delivered the news that the audience was entering the auditorium (礼堂) , signaling that the show was about to begin. Our performance was second on the list, following the opening speech and the show from the United States. So, everyone gathered their props, checked their hair and makeup, and prepared for some last-minute practice. It was at this moment that Emma shouted beside me. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “I can’t find my sword!” Emma cried. Soon, everyone gathered around. “It was right here on this table before I went to the cafeteria! But now it’s gone!” Emma’s eyes were filled with tears. Without her sword, she wouldn’t be able to dance with the rest of us. Two months of practice could amount to nothing for Emma; this sad news struck all of us hard. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Since there was still some time before our performance, everyone quickly began searching around the room for the sword. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Right before going onto the stage, I decided not to give up and looked around one last time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
