Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. This is what Dr Asel Sartbaeva has been attempting to solve. Growing up, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.” In 2010, Asel Sartbaeva took her daughter Melinda to be vaccinated. She noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge. When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication. Over the next few years, Sartbaeva and her team have tested out a number of different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they’re out of the fridge. One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived. In 2021, Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science project. She designed experiments to get more girls interested in the science-based subjects. “In addition to my scientific and teaching work, I want t to make scientific discoveries closer and d more understandable to people,” she said. 4. What does the underlined phrase “going off” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Boiling. B. Being misused. C. Failing. D. Being polluted. 5. How did Sartbaeva feel about her meeting with Brian Josephson? A. Honored. B. Scared. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 6. What inspired Sartbaeva’s idea of ensilication? A. Limitations of the vaccine storage. B. Vaccine shortages in some places. C. Her daughter’s unexpected illness. D. The children’s high demand for vaccines. 7. Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4? A. To introduce the core of ensilication. B. To show the effectiveness of ensilication. C. To compare different means of transportation. D. To emphasize the hardship of the experiment. C Every day seems to bring more exciting news about the super drugs — glp-l receptor agonists. First the drugs tackled diabetes (糖尿病). Then, with just one shot a week, they fought obesity. Now studies of health records suggest that they may treat addiction, too. Researchers are even talking, in quiet tones, of their anti-ageing effects. According to a new finding, not only do the drugs act in the gut (肠道), but they combine with receptors (受体) all over the body and in the brain. The drugs appear to reduce inflammation (炎症) and interact with pathways linked to desires and feelings of reward. With every new finding, researchers are learning more about the workings of disease and the links between the body and the brain. Naturally, more work is needed. Although glp-1 agonists have been used in diabetes for 20 years, some of the newer findings are based on observational studies, and will need to be tested by randomized trials. Patients may need to remain on these drugs for their whole lives, which makes the costs uncertain. Yet with time, experimentation and innovation, the benefits will become clearer, and the costs will come down. For patients, the new uses of glp-l drugs mean not just longer lives, but healthier and happier ones. For governments, though the total bill for these drugs could be vast, they would lower some other costs: the direct medical bill for obesity alone amounts to 260 billion dollars a year in America; alcohol abuse is a huge burden for the criminal-justice system. The state would raise less money from taxes on alcohol, but income taxes would go up, as the workforce became healthier. Glp-1 drugs could lead to significant economic and social change. Some business models could be upended. If desires can be controlled, junk-food companies, advertisers and even drug-dealers may shift their focus from quantity to quality. Social values could develop: If being thin is easier, obesity may less often be seen as moral failings. The glp-1 breakthrough is just beginning. Its future is full of promise. 8. Why are the glp-1 receptor agonists called super drugs? A. They are expensive and rare. B. They can be highly addictive. C. They make people feel excited. D. They can treat multiple diseases. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How the drugs build up. B. How the drugs are taken. C. How the drugs function. D. How the drugs are produced. 10. How can the drugs benefit the government? A. They lower overall costs. B. They end crimes. C. They increase workforce. D. They raise alcohol taxes. 11. What does the author imply about the glp-1 drugs in the last paragraph? A. Their influence will expand. B. They may cause economic crisis. C. They will replace traditional drugs. D. Their social acceptance is dropping. D Plenty of academic research had examined creativity — but relatively little had gone to curiosity. The website wikipedia describes curiosity as a “quality related to thinking”. But there is a lot more to explore about it — and Wikipedia, as the world’s largest encyclopedia, is now aiding social scientists to deepen the definition of curiosity in a study. Tracing how Wikipedia searchers browse (浏览) among topics revealed three different styles of human curiosity: the “busybody,” the “hunter” and the “dancer.” A busybody follows a route through many often distantly related topics. A hunter, in contrast, searches with sustained focus, moving among a relatively small number of closely related articles. A dancer links together highly different topics to try to integrate new ideas. “Curiosity actually works by connecting pieces of information, not just acquiring them,” says University of Pennsylvania network scientist Dani Bassett, co-senior author on a recent study of these curiosity types. “It’s not as if we go through the world and pick up a piece of information and put it in our pockets like a stone. Instead we gather information and connect it to stuff that we already know.” The recent study tracked more than 482,000 people using Wikipedia’s mobile app in 50countries and 14 languages. The researchers charted these users’ paths using “knowledge networks” of connected information. Beyond this, they linked curiosity styles to location-based indicators of wellbeing, inequality, and other measures. In countries with higher education levels, people browsed more like busybodies. In countries with lower scores on these indicators, people browsed like hunters. Dancer patterns, more recently confirmed, were excluded. Princeton University psychologist Erik Nook praised the study’s “incredibly large” range. The authors, he says, brought together knowledge from various fields to reveal deep insights into human behavior. 12. What is Wikipedia’s role in the study? A. Research helper. B. Invention starter. C. Behavior motivator. D. Quality inspector. 13. How does curiosity work? A. By correcting data. B. By proving ideas. C By processing information. D. By selecting topics. 14. What did the recent study in paragraph 4 find? A. Dancer patterns earn popularity. B. Knowledge networks guide users. C. Hunters come from rich countries. D. Education levels affect curiosity types. 15. What is Erik Nook’s attitude toward the study? A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Objective. D. Approving. 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。 Perhaps you are familiar with the following scene: you’re meeting up with a friend, excited to catch up on the week and looking forward to sharing your news. But before you can get a word in, your friend passes you something and excitedly announces, “Look what I’ve got!” All other topics of conversation fall away and you spend the whole time listening to detailed descriptions of his new phone. You should probably be feeling happy for him. ____16____ When a friend is completely occupied with a new possession, it’s common for you to feel ignored and left out. ____17____ Before, conversations might have circled around hobbies, shared plans, or what’s happening at school. Now, it might seem like everything centres around their expensive new high-tech device. It’s important to allow yourself to feel this way, but also to remember that this is a temporary situation. ____18____ And, although it might be upsetting to feel you’ve lost your friend’s attention for a while, the freshness will soon disappear. ____19____ Psychologist Catherine Hallissey explains, “Our brains are hardwired to seek out freshness-this means we desire new things. Sometimes, the urge is for the object itself and other times it’s for the respect from others.” Perhaps an even more discomforting feeling that arises with others’ good fortune is envy. ____20____ It’s a normal reaction, especially when social media encourages comparison with others. The key is to allow yourself to feel it but not let it drive your behavior and negatively impact your relationship. A. The new becomes old quickly. B. Anyway, friendship is of value to you. C. Why can the appeal of the new be powerful? D. Instead, a large number of uncomfortable feelings arise. E. It might feel like the focus of your friendship has shifted. F. Remember that feeling envious doesn’t make you a bad friend. G. Owning a particular product might boost someone’s self-image. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It’s funny.

When I found him, he was 13, living in a large box on the roadside. He was hungry, dirty, full of fear and caution towards strangers. The only belongings he had was a piece of worn-out cover of The Sorcerer’s Stone. “You into Harry Potter?” I asked. “I have the entire book at home”, I added, hoping he’d understand my meaning. Instead he looked at me doubtfully. I told him that I was a lawyer and I just wanted to help. Maybe he’d like somewhere warm to stay, at least for a couple of days. He kept silent. Finally, after a full minute or so, he nodded. My wife Bev was a lawyer too and she couldn’t have kids. When she saw the poor child, she frowned and gave Charlie a mother-like care. She filled his hungry stomach, led him to the bathroom with her nephew’s clothes for him to change into, and washed his clothes while he was getting cleaned up. I put the The Sorcerer’s Stone on the table in the living room, but Charlie was so tired that he went to sleep after the bath. The next morning, I found he was reading The Sorcerer’s Stone in the living room. After breakfast, he said he would leave for his aunt in Denver. Looking at him, I really didn’t believe there was an aunt. Why was he so anxious to get back on the road? Whatever his motivation, he needed supplies. So we took out a hiking backpack. Bev included another of her nephew’s clothes, a hat and a pair of ski gloves. I gave him two of my Harry Potter books: The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Chamber Of Secrets. “And now for the best part,” I said, handing Charlie an envelope. “There’s eight-hundred dollars in there.” His head suddenly raised up and he stared at me, wide-eyed. “That should get you to wherever you need to go,” I said. Once he got over his initial shock, he nodded and said to me in a quiet voice, “Thanks.” Though refused at first, I drove him to the bus station and bought the ticket for him. 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。 Charlie stood before me, his eyes clouded with hesitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, while Bev and I were having breakfast, the doorbell rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 试卷类型：A 高二诊断性调研监测 英语试题 2025.5 注意事项： 1.答题前，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，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 该部分分为第一、第二两节。注意：回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你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.

When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.” In 2010, Asel Sartbaeva took her daughter Melinda to be vaccinated. She noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge. When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication. Over the next few years, Sartbaeva and her team have tested out a number of different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they’re out of the fridge. One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived. In 2021, Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science project. She designed experiments to get more girls interested in the science-based subjects. “In addition to my scientific and teaching work, I want t to make scientific discoveries closer and d more understandable to people,” she said. 4. What does the underlined phrase “going off” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Boiling. B. Being misused. C. Failing. D. Being polluted. 5. How did Sartbaeva feel about her meeting with Brian Josephson? A. Honored. B. Scared. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 6. What inspired Sartbaeva’s idea of ensilication? A. Limitations of the vaccine storage. B. Vaccine shortages in some places. C. Her daughter’s unexpected illness. D. The children’s high demand for vaccines. 7. Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4? A. To introduce the core of ensilication. B. To show the effectiveness of ensilication. C. To compare different means of transportation. D. To emphasize the hardship of the experiment. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科学家Asel Sartbaeva受童年偶像影响，致力于解决疫苗保存难题并取得突破性成果的成长与科研历程。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. (遗憾的是，大多数疫苗需要冷藏以防止going off。这使得将它们运输到偏远地区变得困难，因为如果温度过高，疫苗就会失去作用)”可知，疫苗需冷藏以防 “失效”。“going off”在此处意为“失效”，与“Failing(失去效力)”语义相符。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Growing up, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.”(从小到大，Asel Sartbaeva一直敬仰Michael Faraday和Marie Curie这样的科学家。当她在英国剑桥大学学习时，遇到了一位名叫Brian Josephson的获奖物理学家。她说：“我惊讶得合不拢嘴，能和我敬仰已久的科学家在同一个地方工作，对我来说是件‘大事’)” 可推知，当Sartbaeva在剑桥大学遇到获奖物理学家Brian Josephson时，她感到非常荣幸。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication.(回到家后，她开始在网上查阅相关信息，发现世界上有些地方无法送达疫苗，因为疫苗在整个运输过程中无法冷藏——这意味着一些人错过了接种疫苗的机会。Sartbaeva想发明一种能让疫苗在所有温度下都保持稳定的方法，于是她提出了ensilication的想法)”可知，疫苗储存的局限性（需冷藏才能运输）启发了她的ensilication的想法。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived.(其中一项实验包括将一些疫苗通过邮政从巴斯寄往纽卡斯尔。这段路程超过300英里，邮寄可能需要一两天时间，但疫苗抵达时仍可安全使用)”可推知，该实验是为了证明ensilication技术能让疫苗在非冷藏条件下保持稳定，即展示其有效性。故选B。 C Every day seems to bring more exciting news about the super drugs — glp-l receptor agonists. First the drugs tackled diabetes (糖尿病). Then, with just one shot a week, they fought obesity. Now studies of health records suggest that they may treat addiction, too. Researchers are even talking, in quiet tones, of their anti-ageing effects. According to a new finding, not only do the drugs act in the gut (肠道), but they combine with receptors (受体) all over the body and in the brain. The drugs appear to reduce inflammation (炎症) and interact with pathways linked to desires and feelings of reward. With every new finding, researchers are learning more about the workings of disease and the links between the body and the brain. Naturally, more work is needed. Although glp-1 agonists have been used in diabetes for 20 years, some of the newer findings are based on observational studies, and will need to be tested by randomized trials. Patients may need to remain on these drugs for their whole lives, which makes the costs uncertain. Yet with time, experimentation and innovation, the benefits will become clearer, and the costs will come down. For patients, the new uses of glp-l drugs mean not just longer lives, but healthier and happier ones. For governments, though the total bill for these drugs could be vast, they would lower some other costs: the direct medical bill for obesity alone amounts to 260 billion dollars a year in America; alcohol abuse is a huge burden for the criminal-justice system. The state would raise less money from taxes on alcohol, but income taxes would go up, as the workforce became healthier. Glp-1 drugs could lead to significant economic and social change. Some business models could be upended. If desires can be controlled, junk-food companies, advertisers and even drug-dealers may shift their focus from quantity to quality. Social values could develop: If being thin is easier, obesity may less often be seen as moral failings. The glp-1 breakthrough is just beginning. Its future is full of promise. 8. Why are the glp-1 receptor agonists called super drugs? A. They are expensive and rare. B. They can be highly addictive. C. They make people feel excited. D. They can treat multiple diseases. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How the drugs build up. B. How the drugs are taken. C. How the drugs function. D. How the drugs are produced. 10. How can the drugs benefit the government? A. They lower overall costs. B. They end crimes. C. They increase workforce. D. They raise alcohol taxes. 11. What does the author imply about the glp-1 drugs in the last paragraph? A. Their influence will expand. B. They may cause economic crisis. C. They will replace traditional drugs. D. Their social acceptance is dropping. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了GLP-1受体激动剂作为“超级药物”的多重疗效、作用机制及其在医疗和经济社会层面带来的广泛影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Every day seems to bring more exciting news about the super drugs — glp-l receptor agonists. First the drugs tackled diabetes (糖尿病). Then, with just one shot a week, they fought obesity. Now studies of health records suggest that they may treat addiction, too. (关于超级药物——glp-l受体激动剂，每天似乎都有更令人兴奋的消息传来。首先，这些药物可以治疗糖尿病。然后，每周只需注射一次，就能对抗肥胖。现在，对健康记录的研究表明，它们可能也可以治疗成瘾。)”可知，glp-1受体激动剂之所以被称为超级药物，是因为它们可以治疗多种疾病。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“According to a new finding, not only do the drugs act in the gut (肠道), but they combine with receptors (受体) all over the body and in the brain. The drugs appear to reduce inflammation (炎症) and interact with pathways linked to desires and feelings of reward. (根据一项新的发现，这些药物不仅在肠道中起作用，而且与全身和大脑中的受体结合。这些药物似乎可以减少炎症，并与与欲望和奖励感相关的通路相互作用。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是这些药物是如何起作用的。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“For governments, though the total bill for these drugs could be vast, they would lower some other costs: the direct medical bill for obesity alone amounts to 260 billion dollars a year in America; alcohol abuse is a huge burden for the criminal-justice system. The state would raise less money from taxes on alcohol, but income taxes would go up, as the workforce became healthier. (对于政府来说，尽管这些药物的费用可能很高，但它们会降低其他一些成本：仅在美国，肥胖的直接医疗费用每年就高达2600亿美元；酒精滥用给刑事司法系统带来了巨大负担。国家从酒精税中征收的税收会减少，但随着劳动力的健康状况改善，所得税会增加。)”可知，这些药物对政府的好处是降低总体成本。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Glp-1 drugs could lead to significant economic and social change. Some business models could be upended. If desires can be controlled, junk-food companies, advertisers and even drug-dealers may shift their focus from quantity to quality. Social values could develop: If being thin is easier, obesity may less often be seen as moral failings. The glp-1 breakthrough is just beginning. Its future is full of promise. (glp-1药物可能会带来重大的经济和社会变革。一些商业模式可能会被颠覆。如果欲望可以得到控制，垃圾食品公司、广告商甚至毒贩都可能将注意力从数量转向质量。社会价值观可能会发展：如果减肥变得更容易，肥胖可能就不那么容易被视为道德缺陷了。glp-1的突破才刚刚开始。它的未来充满希望。)”可知最后一段提到gLP-1药物可能引发经济和社会变革，如颠覆商业模式、改变社会价值观（肥胖不再被视为道德缺陷），并强调突破才刚刚开始，未来充满希望。由此可推知，作者在最后一段暗示glp-1药物的影响将会扩大。故选A。 D Plenty of academic research had examined creativity — but relatively little had gone to curiosity. The website wikipedia describes curiosity as a “quality related to thinking”. But there is a lot more to explore about it — and Wikipedia, as the world’s largest encyclopedia, is now aiding social scientists to deepen the definition of curiosity in a study. Tracing how Wikipedia searchers browse (浏览) among topics revealed three different styles of human curiosity: the “busybody,” the “hunter” and the “dancer.” A busybody follows a route through many often distantly related topics. A hunter, in contrast, searches with sustained focus, moving among a relatively small number of closely related articles. A dancer links together highly different topics to try to integrate new ideas. “Curiosity actually works by connecting pieces of information, not just acquiring them,” says University of Pennsylvania network scientist Dani Bassett, co-senior author on a recent study of these curiosity types. “It’s not as if we go through the world and pick up a piece of information and put it in our pockets like a stone. Instead we gather information and connect it to stuff that we already know.” The recent study tracked more than 482,000 people using Wikipedia’s mobile app in 50countries and 14 languages. The researchers charted these users’ paths using “knowledge networks” of connected information. Beyond this, they linked curiosity styles to location-based indicators of wellbeing, inequality, and other measures. In countries with higher education levels, people browsed more like busybodies. In countries with lower scores on these indicators, people browsed like hunters. Dancer patterns, more recently confirmed, were excluded. Princeton University psychologist Erik Nook praised the study’s “incredibly large” range. The authors, he says, brought together knowledge from various fields to reveal deep insights into human behavior. 12. What is Wikipedia’s role in the study? A Research helper. B. Invention starter. C. Behavior motivator. D. Quality inspector. 13. How does curiosity work? A. By correcting data. B. By proving ideas. C. By processing information. D. By selecting topics. 14. What did the recent study in paragraph 4 find? A. Dancer patterns earn popularity. B. Knowledge networks guide users. C. Hunters come from rich countries. D. Education levels affect curiosity types. 15. What is Erik Nook’s attitude toward the study? A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Objective. D. Approving. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项借助维基百科来研究人类好奇心类型的学术研究，阐述了好奇心的工作方式以及研究发现不同教育水平国家的人好奇心类型不同，还提及相关人士对该研究的评价。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wikipedia, as the world’s largest encyclopedia, is now aiding social scientists to deepen the definition of curiosity in a study.(维基百科，作为世界上最大的百科全书，现在正在一项研究中帮助社会科学家深化对好奇心的定义)” 可知，维基百科在研究中起到研究助手的作用。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Curiosity actually works by connecting pieces of information, not just acquiring them,” says University of Pennsylvania network scientist Dani Bassett, co-senior author on a recent study of these curiosity types.(宾夕法尼亚大学的网络科学家丹妮・巴西特（Dani Bassett）是近期一项关于这些好奇心类型研究的共同资深作者，她表示：“好奇心实际上是通过将信息片段相互关联来发挥作用的，而不仅仅是获取信息”)” 可知，好奇心通过处理信息起作用。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In countries with higher education levels, people browsed more like busybodies. In countries with lower scores on these indicators, people browsed like hunters.(在教育水平较高的国家，人们的浏览方式更像好事者。在这些指标得分较低的国家，人们的浏览方式像猎人)” 可知，教育水平会影响好奇心类型。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Princeton University psychologist Erik Nook praised the study’s “incredibly large” range. The authors, he says, brought together knowledge from various fields to reveal deep insights into human behavior.(普林斯顿大学心理学家埃里克・努克称赞这项研究的范围 “极其广泛”。他说，研究人员汇集了来自不同领域的知识，以深刻洞察人类行为。)” 可推知，埃里克・努克对这项研究持赞同态度。故选D。 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。 Perhaps you are familiar with the following scene: you’re meeting up with a friend, excited to catch up on the week and looking forward to sharing your news.

When I found him, he was 13, living in a large box on the roadside. He was hungry, dirty, full of fear and caution towards strangers. The only belongings he had was a piece of worn-out cover of The Sorcerer’s Stone. “You into Harry Potter?” I asked. “I have the entire book at home”, I added, hoping he’d understand my meaning. Instead he looked at me doubtfully. I told him that I was a lawyer and I just wanted to help. Maybe he’d like somewhere warm to stay, at least for a couple of days. He kept silent. Finally, after a full minute or so, he nodded. My wife Bev was a lawyer too and she couldn’t have kids. When she saw the poor child, she frowned and gave Charlie a mother-like care. She filled his hungry stomach, led him to the bathroom with her nephew’s clothes for him to change into, and washed his clothes while he was getting cleaned up. I put the The Sorcerer’s Stone on the table in the living room, but Charlie was so tired that he went to sleep after the bath. The next morning, I found he was reading The Sorcerer’s Stone in the living room. After breakfast, he said he would leave for his aunt in Denver. Looking at him, I really didn’t believe there was an aunt. Why was he so anxious to get back on the road? Whatever his motivation, he needed supplies. So we took out a hiking backpack. Bev included another of her nephew’s clothes, a hat and a pair of ski gloves. I gave him two of my Harry Potter books: The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Chamber Of Secrets. “And now for the best part,” I said, handing Charlie an envelope. “There’s eight-hundred dollars in there.” His head suddenly raised up and he stared at me, wide-eyed. “That should get you to wherever you need to go,” I said. Once he got over his initial shock, he nodded and said to me in a quiet voice, “Thanks.” Though refused at first, I drove him to the bus station and bought the ticket for him. 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。 Charlie stood before me, his eyes clouded with hesitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, while Bev and I were having breakfast, the doorbell rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： Charlie stood before me, his eyes clouded with hesitation. He just shifted his weight from one foot to the other. “I... I don’t know how to thank you,” he finally managed to choke out. I patted him on the shoulder gently. “Just take care of yourself,” I said. “I think I’m going to miss having you around,” I added. He lifted his eyes to mine. I could see both his surprise and gratefulness. But before either of us could say anything, a voice came over the loudspeaker calling for passengers to board the bus for Denver. He got on the bus and waved goodbye to me. I watched until the bus was out of sight, hoping this journey would lead him to a better life. The next morning, while Bev and I were having breakfast, the doorbell rang. As I opened the door, it was Charlie. “I never made it to Denver,” he said, standing there with the hat in hand. Before I could ask him what had happened, he said to me, “Do you think I could read the rest of your Harry Potter books?” I felt my chest swell. “Sure, why not?” I said, motioning for him to come inside. As Charlie stepped through the door, a ray of sunlight streamed in, lighting up the hope in his eyes and quietly sealing the unspoken promise of a new family, where the power of love and acceptance would create a story more wonderful than any magic story. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者（一名律师）遇到父母双亡后成为街头流浪儿的13岁Charlie，将他带回家。妻子Bev给予他母亲般的照顾，第二天Charlie表示要去丹佛找阿姨，作者夫妇为他准备物资并给他800美元，还送他去车站买车票。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Charlie站在我面前，眼中满是犹豫之色。”可知，第一段可描写Charlie 在公交车站的表现。他因不知如何感谢作者而犹豫，表达感谢后，听到上车广播，上车前与作者告别，作者希望他有更好生活，突出离别时 Charlie的感激与作者的期望。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，我和Bev正在吃早餐的时候，门铃响了。”可知，第二段可描写门铃响后发生的事。Charlie折返，因没去成丹佛，询问能否继续读作者的《哈利・波特》书籍，作者同意，阳光照进，寓意着新家庭的希望，突出Charlie渴望留下以及新家庭的温暖与希望。 2.续写线索：Charlie 车站犹豫表达感谢 —— 上车告别 —— 第二天Charlie折返 —— 询问能否读《哈利・波特》书籍 —— 作者同意，体现新家庭希望 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①说出：say /utter ②挥手：wave /gesture with hand ③示意：motion /signal 情绪类： ①感激：gratefulness /thankfulness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型 1】As I opened the door, it was Charlie.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】As Charlie stepped through the door, a ray of sunlight streamed in, lighting up the hope in his eyes and quietly sealing the unspoken promise of a new family, where the power of love and acceptance would create a story more wonderful than any magic story.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，现在分词短语 lighting up... 作伴随状语，以及where引导的非限制性定语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
