Here are four impressive examples of nature reclaiming (开发利用) our world for itself with amazing results. Houtouwan, China It lies on the island of Shengshan Town on the furthermost edge of a group of islands. The only way to get there is by private boat, or by bus, and then by ship. Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s. Now, its walls and streets become green with overgrowth. Spreepark, Germany Spreepark was closed in 2001 and the local plant life soon got to work. Structures in use since the park originally opened in 1969 were quickly covered by leaves. Now, an initiative aims to bring the site back to life. Vallone dei Mulini, Italy Its high humidity (湿度) encouraged a microclimate perfect for plant growth. As the abandoned buildings fell apart, the ruins and their surroundings became completely overgrown. Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online. Beng Mealea, Cambodia Though constructed around 900 years ago, this grand temple is far less frequented than its more famous neighbour, Angkor Wat. In 2020, it was submitted for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Natural decline, among other factors, has caused serious damage to the site, allowing the surrounding jungle to overrun and combine with it. 1. What mainly caused Houtouwan’s abandonment? A. Its wet climate. B. The overgrowth of plants. C. Its separate location. D. The aging of walls and streets. 2. Which place once became popular online? A. Houtouwan. B. Spreepark. C. Vallone dei Mulini. D. Beng Mealea. 3. What feature do the four places share? A. They are World Heritage Sites. B. They are being taken back by nature. C. They are nearly 1,000 years old. D. They are regaining their original state. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个被大自然重新开发利用的地方。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s.(与世隔绝是导致该村在20世纪90年代被遗弃的主要因素之一)”可知，后头湾被遗弃的主要原因是它与世隔绝的位置。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online.( 2006年拍摄的这个地方的照片在网上广为流传)”可知，Vallone dei Mulini曾经在网上很受欢迎。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。细节理解题。根据第二段“Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s. Now, its walls and streets become green with overgrowth.(与世隔绝是导致该村在20世纪90年代被遗弃的主要因素之一。现在，它的墙壁和街道因杂草丛生而变得绿色)”；第三段“Spreepark was closed in 2001 and the local plant life soon got to work. Structures in use since the park originally opened in 1969 were quickly covered by leaves. Now, an initiative aims to bring the site back to life.( Spreepark于2001年关闭，当地的植物很快就开始工作了。自1969年公园开放以来，使用的建筑很快就被树叶覆盖了。现在，一项倡议旨在使该遗址恢复生机)”；第四段“As the abandoned buildings fell apart, the ruins and their surroundings became completely overgrown.(随着被遗弃的建筑物倒塌，废墟及其周围变得完全杂草丛生)”以及最后一段“Natural decline, among other factors, has caused serious damage to the site, allowing the surrounding jungle to overrun and combine with it.(自然衰退，以及其他因素，对遗址造成了严重的破坏，使周围的丛林泛滥并与之相结合)”可知，这四个地方的共同之处在于都被大自然收回了。故选B。 B Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies? 4. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. There are different types of education. B. The present education needs improvements. C. Education and economy are closely associated. D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 5. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition. C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning. 6. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members.(直到2035年左右，教育系统的主要功能是为经济提供下一代工人。在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。)”可知，第一段主要告诉我们未来教育的目标是完全不同的。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.(学校已经被不受年龄限制的“学习中心”所取代。)”可知，Shemsy去的学习中心接受所有年龄的学生。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Being Human and the History of Humanity(做人和人类历史)”可知，做人和人类历史应该是全球儿童必修的课程，划线词mandatory的意思是“必修的”，和required意思相近，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080.(在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。为了让你们更明白这一点，我想举一个2080年儿童教育的例子。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“A Vision for Education(教育远景)”。故选B。 C A study has challenged the claim that electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets may lead to dementia (痴呆). The study has found that among older people who regularly use technological products, the decline in cognitive ability is slower. It is unclear whether the technology staves off mental decline, or whether people with better cognitive skills simply use them more, but the scientists say the findings question the claim that screen time drives what has been called “digital dementia”. Jared Benge and his colleague Dr Michael Scullin, a cognitive neuroscientist at Baylor University in Texas, analysed 57 published studies that examined the use of digital technology in 411,430 adults around the world. The average age was 69 years old and all had a cognitive test or diagnosis. The scientists found no evidence for the digital dementia hypothesis, which suggests that a lifetime of using digital technology drives mental decline. Rather, they found that using a computer, smartphone, the internet or some combination of these was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment. More work is needed to explain the findings, but the researchers suspect a two-way relationship supports the results. In this case, people with better thinking skills are more likely to use digital devices, but there are also cognitive benefits to be had from embracing the technology. Benge noted that digital tools could help people engage in complex activities and boost their social connections, both of which appeared to be good for the ageing brain. Professor Peter Etchells, the director of the Centre for Research on Science and Society at Bath Spa University in the UK, said: “This is a really nice study that shows the research area is starting to mature. It’s starting to move beyond the blind acceptance that screen time is something useful to talk about. It’s starting to pose what the next questions should be.” 8. What does the underlined phrase “staves off” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Causes. B. Delays. C. Worsens. D. Detects. 9. What did Jared Benge and Michael Scullin find through their research? A. Digital technology has no effect on cognitive ability.​ B. Screen time is closely related to “digital dementia”.​ C. Regular use of technological products slows cognitive decline in older people.​ D. People with worse cognitive skills use digital devices more frequently. 10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?​ A. The digital dementia hypothesis has been proven by many studies.​ B. Digital tools can only help people boost their social connections.​ C. The average age of the adults in the 57 studies was 69 years old.​ D. There is a one - way relationship between digital use and cognitive ability. 11. What is Professor Peter Etchells’ attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. indifferent. D. Favorable. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一项关于数字设备使用与老年人认知能力关系的研究，该研究发现50岁以上经常使用数字设备的老年人认知能力下降的比率更低，这对“数字痴呆”这一说法提出了质疑。研究表明使用计算机、智能手机和互联网等数字技术与认知障碍风险降低相关，也对数字设备与认知能力的关系有了新的认识。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句下文“but the scientists say the findings question the claim that screen time drives what has been called “digital dementia”(但科学家表示，研究结果质疑了屏幕时间导致所谓“数字痴呆”的说法。)”可知，画线句与下文是转折关系，因此推断“It is unclear whether the technology staves off mental decline, or whether people with better cognitive skills simply use them more(尚不清楚技术是否staves off心智衰退，还是认知能力较好的人更常使用技术)”中的“staves off”与后文“drives”形成相反语义，且研究结果质疑屏幕时间导致痴呆的观点，因此画线词表示“延缓”，与B项“delay”意思相近。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The scientists found no evidence for the digital dementia hypothesis, which suggests that a lifetime of using digital technology drives mental decline. Rather, they found that using a computer, smartphone, the internet or some combination of these was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment.(科学家们没有发现支持数字痴呆假说的证据，该假说认为，终身使用数字技术会导致智力下降。相反，他们发现使用电脑、智能手机、互联网或它们的某种组合与认知障碍的风险较低有关。)”可知，Jared Benge 和 Dr Michael Scullin 的研究发现，经常使用科技产品的老年人认知能力下降较慢，故选C。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Jared Benge and his colleague Dr Michael Scullin, a cognitive neuroscientist at Baylor University in Texas, analysed 57 published studies that examined the use of digital technology in 411,430 adults around the world. The average age was 69 years old and all had a cognitive test or diagnosis. (德克萨斯州贝勒大学（Baylor University）的认知神经科学家贾里德·本吉（Jared Benge）和他的同事迈克尔·斯卡林（Michael Scullin）博士分析了57项已发表的研究，这些研究调查了全球411430名成年人使用数字技术的情况。平均年龄为69岁，所有人都进行了认知测试或诊断。)”可知，57项研究中成年人的平均年龄为69岁。故选C。 11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is a really nice study that shows the research area is starting to mature. It’s starting to move beyond the blind acceptance that screen time is something useful to talk about. It’s starting to pose what the next questions should be.( 这是一个很好的研究，表明这个研究领域开始成熟。人们开始不再盲目地接受屏幕时间是一件有用的事情。它开始提出下一个问题应该是什么。)” 可推断，彼得·埃切尔斯教授用“nice(很好的)”和“mature(成熟的)”表明他对研究持积极态度。故选D。 D When viewed from above, highway traffic resembles ant colonies in motion. Yet unlike human drivers, ants remarkably avoid traffic jams through collective intelligence. Scientists are now studying these tiny creatures to develop smarter self-driving car systems that could prevent traffic jams. Research shows traffic flow becomes unstable when vehicle density reaches 15 cars per mile per lane. A single brake application can trigger a chain reaction of stopping-what physicist Katsuhiro Nishinari calls a “phase transition”, similar to water turning to ice. Surprisingly, ants maintain smooth movement even at high densities. Studies reveal their secret lies in traveling in small groups (3-20 ants) at consistent speeds while maintaining proper spacing and never overtaking each other. The parallels between ant colonies and potential smart traffic systems are striking. Just as ants coordinate through chemical signals without any central authority, future vehicle networks could operate through decentralized communication. ”What emerges is a remarkably strong system without any single leader,“ observes Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral ecologist at UCLA who studies ant colonies. This distributed approach to traffic management could prove far more adaptable than our current top-down systems. Human drivers, focused on personal speed advantage, inevitably cause jams. “We prioritize individual interests, which leads to congestion,” explains Nicola Pugno, an engineering professor at Italy’s University of Trento who contributed to the research. This fundamental difference in approach suggests that future autonomous vehicles, if properly programmed, could revolutionize traffic flow by adopting ant-like cooperation. Imagine a network of self-driving cars constantly communicating with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and safe following distances, eliminating the stop-and-go patterns that waste time and fuel. While ants show great flexibility by making paths wider or even moving upside down in narrow spaces, cars today cannot do the same. However, Nishinari offers one simple lesson from ants that all drivers can use: keep a safe distance. Leaving enough space between cars helps reduce sudden stops that often lead to unexplained traffic slowdowns. 12 What is the main purpose of scientists studying ants in relation to traffic systems? A. To understand how ants avoid predators. B. To develop smarter self-driving car systems. C. To learn how ants build their colonies. D. To study the chemical signals ants use. 13. Why can ants avoid traffic jams even at high densities? A. They travel in small groups with consistent spacing and speed. B. They rely on a central authority to coordinate their movements. C. They use chemical signals to communicate with each other. D. They frequently overtake other ants to avoid congestion. 14. How can ant colonies inspire future vehicle network design? A. It will rely on a central authority for coordination. B. It will mimic the top-down systems currently in use. C. It will operate through decentralized communication. D. It will prioritize individual speed over collective efficiency. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Ant Colonies: A Model for Future Traffic Systems B. Human Drivers: The Cause of Traffic Congestion C. Self-Driving Cars: The Science Behind Them D. Decentralized Communication: The Future of Traffic 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比蚂蚁群体行为和人类交通拥堵问题，探讨如何将蚂蚁的集体智慧应用于智能交通系统，尤其是自动驾驶技术。文章结合科学研究、专家观点和类比论证，提出未来交通管理的可能解决方案。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists are now studying these tiny creatures to develop smarter self-driving car systems that could prevent traffic jams.(科学家们正在研究这些微小的生物，以开发更智能的自动驾驶汽车系统，防止交通堵塞。)”可知，科学家研究蚂蚁的目的是开发更智能的自动驾驶汽车系统，以防止交通拥堵。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Studies reveal their secret lies in traveling in small groups (3-20 ants) at consistent speeds while maintaining proper spacing and never overtaking each other.(研究揭示了它们的秘密在于以一致的速度以小群（3-20只蚂蚁）行进，同时保持适当的间距，永远不会超过彼此。)”可知，蚂蚁在高密度情况下保持平稳移动的关键在于它们以小群形式移动，保持一致的间距和速度，且不超过彼此。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Just as ants coordinate through chemical signals without any central authority, future vehicle networks could operate through decentralized communication.(就像蚂蚁在没有任何中央权威的情况下通过化学信号进行协调一样，未来的汽车网络可以通过分散的通信来运行。)”可知，蚂蚁通过化学信号进行协调，没有任何中央权威，从而启发了未来的车辆网络也可以通过去中心化的分散通信方式运作。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When viewed from above, highway traffic resembles ant colonies in motion. Yet unlike human drivers, ants remarkably avoid traffic jams through collective intelligence. Scientists are now studying these tiny creatures to develop smarter self-driving car systems that could prevent traffic jams.(从上面看，高速公路上的交通就像移动中的蚁群。然而，与人类司机不同的是，蚂蚁通过集体智慧避免了交通堵塞。科学家们正在研究这些微小的生物，以开发更智能的自动驾驶汽车系统，防止交通堵塞。)”及全文内容可知，本文主要通过对比蚂蚁群体行为和人类交通拥堵问题，探讨如何将蚂蚁的集体智慧应用于智能交通系统，即蚂蚁群体为未来交通系统提供了模型。A项“蚁群：未来交通系统的模型”适合用作标题，故选A。 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。 While many people have a traditional savings account, that money is often used to manage bills and everyday expenses. ____16____ Here’s why: They’re low on fees and flexible on minimums. It can be easy to overlook the many fees that banks charge their customers. ____17____ Though these types of fees often apply to checking accounts, savings accounts are a source of income for banks as well. At big brick-and-mortar banks, savings accounts generally come with monthly maintenance fees and/or minimum balance requirements. Not so for most online savings accounts, which often come without minimum balance requirements or maintenance fees. They may offer higher interest rates than brick-and-mortars. ____18____ Because of this, they are often able to pass along the savings to customers in the form of incentives such as higher interest rates and annual percentage yields. They’re optimized for on-the-go banking. Online banking is easy and mobile. Most online savings accounts can be set up and funded electronically at no cost, after which point they are accessible 24/7. ____19____ It means money that should be available for use in the event of an emergency won’t sit around un-cashed until you have a chance to swing by the bank. We all know how busy life can get. ____20____ Around-the-clock customer service is available from most online banks. That said, it’s worth doing your research ahead of time to get a full picture of the bank’s customer service offering. Make sure you can reach someone by phone, an app or even live chat when you have questions or need extra assistance. The goal is to ensure that you never feel like your money is out of reach, especially when you need it to help with unexpected expenses. A. And those fees can add up. B. Be prepared to weather a financial storm. C. They’ve got your back with customer service. D. They include everything from car repairs to doctor bills. E. Additionally, most allow you to easily deposit checks via your phone. F. A separate online savings account can be a great way to maintain a rainy day fund. G. Online banks have lower operating cost than their counterparts at traditional banks. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. E 20.

My knees were shaking, and my throat felt drier with every passing second. As I looked around, 30 pairs of eyes were fixed on me, waiting for me to speak. Though I was comfortable sharing my ideas in small group discussions, I felt nervous about speaking in front of the whole class. Fear flooded me, and my mind went blank. I could hear my heart beating in my ears, blocking out the words I wanted to say. I ended up messing up the presentation. With another presentation coming soon, I refused to let fear hold me back again. I decided to sign up to perform at a campus comedy club event. I admired how confident stand-up comedians were, and I hoped I could act like them. When I spoke there later, though my jokes didn’t get much of a reaction, I surprisingly enjoyed being on stage and felt I could do better next time. Inspired by this, I knew I needed advice from someone more experienced. That was when I noticed Sania, a talented performer whose humor and confidence made her the highlight of the evening. I gathered the courage to talk to her and introduced myself as a beginner speaker looking to improve. She listened closely and gave me great advice, “Attend more open microphone (麦克风) events and watch more comedy performances.” Over the next few weeks, I attended more open microphone events and observed how Sania and other skilled comedians made their performances engaging with clever stories. Surprisingly, this helped me understand literature in a new way. I started to think of literature as something to be told. The characters I analyzed became lively figures in a story that I could explain in a more interesting way. Having prepared for some time, I took a chance and asked Sania if she would like to watch my novel presentation and offer advice. She gladly agreed and we met at a study hall one afternoon after school. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the time came for my next class presentation, I was quite different. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous. Sania listened carefully, nodding now and then. When I finished, she smiled warmly. “You did well, but try to slow down and make your points clearer,” Sania suggested. “And if you feel nervous, take a deep breath. Focus on connecting with your audience, not just presenting to them. Think of them as friends who are curious to hear your story.” Her specific advice removed my anxiety and increased my confidence. It greatly improved my approach and made me feel well prepared. When the time came for my next class presentation, I was quite different. As I spoke, I remembered Sania’s advice about engaging the audience with proper eye contact. I slowed down, focusing on connecting with my classmates as if they were my friends. Then I continued to express myself smoothly and confidently. This time, I received a round of loud applause, unlike the previous silence. I realized effective communication is just as important as the content itself. And thanks to Sania’s patience and support, I have experienced significant growth in the process. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在文学课上的紧张表现、为了克服恐惧而参加校园喜剧俱乐部活动、向有经验的表演者Sania寻求建议，以及最终在下次课堂展示中取得成功的过程，展现了作者从紧张不安到自信表达的心路历程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我向Sania介绍了小说的主要人物，心里还是有点紧张。”以及第二段首句内容“当我下一次在课堂上做展示的时候，我已经判若两人了。”可知，第一段可描写Sania认真听完作者的展示后，给出了一些建议，作者提高了自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我下一次在课堂上做展示的时候，我已经判若两人了。”可知，第二段可描写在Sania的指导下，作者的展示非常成功。 2.续写线索：作者向Sania介绍了小说的主要人物，内心还是有点紧张——Sania认真听着，并且给出了一些实用的建议——她建议作者要和听众建立联系——她的建议消除了作者的焦虑，增强了作者的信心——作者的再次展示非常成功——这一次，作者得到了听众的掌声——多亏了Sania的耐心和指导，作者得到了成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest/make a suggestion ②专注于：focus on/concentrate on ③将……当作：think of…as/regard…as… 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/tense ②焦虑：anxiety/inquietude 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I finished, she smiled warmly.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】As I spoke, I remembered Sania’s advice about engaging the audience with proper eye contact.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河南省信阳高级中学新校(贤岭校区) 2024-2025学年高一下期06月测试(一) 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A As any gardener knows, nature doesn’t need much space to grow strong and healthy — give her an inch, and she’ll take a mile! Here are four impressive examples of nature reclaiming (开发利用) our world for itself with amazing results. Houtouwan, China It lies on the island of Shengshan Town on the furthermost edge of a group of islands. The only way to get there is by private boat, or by bus, and then by ship. Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s. Now, its walls and streets become green with overgrowth. Spreepark, Germany Spreepark was closed in 2001 and the local plant life soon got to work. Structures in use since the park originally opened in 1969 were quickly covered by leaves. Now, an initiative aims to bring the site back to life. Vallone dei Mulini, Italy Its high humidity (湿度) encouraged a microclimate perfect for plant growth. As the abandoned buildings fell apart, the ruins and their surroundings became completely overgrown. Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online. Beng Mealea Cambodia Though constructed around 900 years ago, this grand temple is far less frequented than its more famous neighbour, Angkor Wat. In 2020, it was submitted for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Natural decline, among other factors, has caused serious damage to the site, allowing the surrounding jungle to overrun and combine with it. 1. What mainly caused Houtouwan’s abandonment? A. Its wet climate. B. The overgrowth of plants. C. Its separate location. D. The aging of walls and streets. 2 Which place once became popular online? A. Houtouwan. B. Spreepark. C. Vallone dei Mulini. D. Beng Mealea. 3. What feature do the four places share? A. They are World Heritage Sites. B. They are being taken back by nature. C. They are nearly 1,000 years old. D. They are regaining their original state. B Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies? 4. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. There are different types of education. B. The present education needs improvements. C. Education and economy are closely associated. D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 5. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition. C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning. 6. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future C A study has challenged the claim that electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets may lead to dementia (痴呆). The study has found that among older people who regularly use technological products, the decline in cognitive ability is slower. It is unclear whether the technology staves off mental decline, or whether people with better cognitive skills simply use them more, but the scientists say the findings question the claim that screen time drives what has been called “digital dementia”. Jared Benge and his colleague Dr Michael Scullin, a cognitive neuroscientist at Baylor University in Texas, analysed 57 published studies that examined the use of digital technology in 411,430 adults around the world. The average age was 69 years old and all had a cognitive test or diagnosis. The scientists found no evidence for the digital dementia hypothesis, which suggests that a lifetime of using digital technology drives mental decline. Rather, they found that using a computer, smartphone, the internet or some combination of these was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment. More work is needed to explain the findings but the researchers suspect a two-way relationship supports the results. In this case, people with better thinking skills are more likely to use digital devices, but there are also cognitive benefits to be had from embracing the technology. Benge noted that digital tools could help people engage in complex activities and boost their social connections, both of which appeared to be good for the ageing brain. Professor Peter Etchells, the director of the Centre for Research on Science and Society at Bath Spa University in the UK, said: “This is a really nice study that shows the research area is starting to mature. It’s starting to move beyond the blind acceptance that screen time is something useful to talk about. It’s starting to pose what the next questions should be.” 8 What does the underlined phrase “staves off” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Causes. B. Delays. C. Worsens. D. Detects. 9. What did Jared Benge and Michael Scullin find through their research? A. Digital technology has no effect on cognitive ability.​ B. Screen time is closely related to “digital dementia”.​ C. Regular use of technological products slows cognitive decline in older people.​ D. People with worse cognitive skills use digital devices more frequently. 10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?​ A. The digital dementia hypothesis has been proven by many studies.​ B. Digital tools can only help people boost their social connections.​ C. The average age of the adults in the 57 studies was 69 years old.​ D. There is a one - way relationship between digital use and cognitive ability. 11. What is Professor Peter Etchells’ attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. indifferent. D. Favorable. D When viewed from above, highway traffic resembles ant colonies in motion. Yet unlike human drivers, ants remarkably avoid traffic jams through collective intelligence. Scientists are now studying these tiny creatures to develop smarter self-driving car systems that could prevent traffic jams. Research shows traffic flow becomes unstable when vehicle density reaches 15 cars per mile per lane. A single brake application can trigger a chain reaction of stopping-what physicist Katsuhiro Nishinari calls a “phase transition”, similar to water turning to ice. Surprisingly, ants maintain smooth movement even at high densities. Studies reveal their secret lies in traveling in small groups (3-20 ants) at consistent speeds while maintaining proper spacing and never overtaking each other. The parallels between ant colonies and potential smart traffic systems are striking. Just as ants coordinate through chemical signals without any central authority, future vehicle networks could operate through decentralized communication. ”What emerges is a remarkably strong system without any single leader,“ observes Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral ecologist at UCLA who studies ant colonies. This distributed approach to traffic management could prove far more adaptable than our current top-down systems. Human drivers, focused on personal speed advantage, inevitably cause jams. “We prioritize individual interests, which leads to congestion,” explains Nicola Pugno, an engineering professor at Italy’s University of Trento who contributed to the research. This fundamental difference in approach suggests that future autonomous vehicles, if properly programmed, could revolutionize traffic flow by adopting ant-like cooperation. Imagine a network of self-driving cars constantly communicating with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and safe following distances, eliminating the stop-and-go patterns that waste time and fuel. While ants show great flexibility by making paths wider or even moving upside down in narrow spaces, cars today cannot do the same. However, Nishinari offers one simple lesson from ants that all drivers can use: keep a safe distance. Leaving enough space between cars helps reduce sudden stops that often lead to unexplained traffic slowdowns. 12. What is the main purpose of scientists studying ants in relation to traffic systems? A. To understand how ants avoid predators. B To develop smarter self-driving car systems. C. To learn how ants build their colonies. D. To study the chemical signals ants use. 13. Why can ants avoid traffic jams even at high densities? A. They travel in small groups with consistent spacing and speed. B. They rely on a central authority to coordinate their movements. C. They use chemical signals to communicate with each other. D. They frequently overtake other ants to avoid congestion. 14. How can ant colonies inspire future vehicle network design? A. It will rely on a central authority for coordination. B. It will mimic the top-down systems currently in use. C. It will operate through decentralized communication. D. It will prioritize individual speed over collective efficiency. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Ant Colonies: A Model for Future Traffic Systems B. Human Drivers: The Cause of Traffic Congestion C. Self-Driving Cars: The Science Behind Them D. Decentralized Communication: The Future of Traffic 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。 While many people have a traditional savings account, that money is often used to manage bills and everyday expenses. ____16____ Here’s why: They’re low on fees and flexible on minimums. It can be easy to overlook the many fees that banks charge their customers. ____17____ Though these types of fees often apply to checking accounts, savings accounts are a source of income for banks as well. At big brick-and-mortar banks, savings accounts generally come with monthly maintenance fees and/or minimum balance requirements. Not so for most online savings accounts, which often come without minimum balance requirements or maintenance fees. They may offer higher interest rates than brick-and-mortars. ____18____ Because of this, they are often able to pass along the savings to customers in the form of incentives such as higher interest rates and annual percentage yields. They’re optimized for on-the-go banking. Online banking is easy and mobile. Most online savings accounts can be set up and funded electronically at no cost, after which point they are accessible 24/7. ____19____ It means money that should be available for use in the event of an emergency won’t sit around un-cashed until you have a chance to swing by the bank. We all know how busy life can get. ____20____ Around-the-clock customer service is available from most online banks. That said, it’s worth doing your research ahead of time to get a full picture of the bank’s customer service offering. Make sure you can reach someone by phone, an app or even live chat when you have questions or need extra assistance. The goal is to ensure that you never feel like your money is out of reach, especially when you need it to help with unexpected expenses. A. And those fees can add up. B. Be prepared to weather a financial storm. C. They’ve got your back with customer service. D. They include everything from car repairs to doctor bills. E. Additionally, most allow you to easily deposit checks via your phone. F. A separate online savings account can be a great way to maintain a rainy day fund. G. Online banks have lower operating cost than their counterparts at traditional banks. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 70-year-old Air Force veteran (退伍军人) from Salem, Illinois is being praised as a hero for his good deed.

My knees were shaking, and my throat felt drier with every passing second. As I looked around, 30 pairs of eyes were fixed on me, waiting for me to speak. Though I was comfortable sharing my ideas in small group discussions, I felt nervous about speaking in front of the whole class. Fear flooded me, and my mind went blank. I could hear my heart beating in my ears, blocking out the words I wanted to say. I ended up messing up the presentation. With another presentation coming soon, I refused to let fear hold me back again. I decided to sign up to perform at a campus comedy club event. I admired how confident stand-up comedians were, and I hoped I could act like them. When I spoke there later, though my jokes didn’t get much of a reaction, I surprisingly enjoyed being on stage and felt I could do better next time. Inspired by this, I knew I needed advice from someone more experienced. That was when I noticed Sania, a talented performer whose humor and confidence made her the highlight of the evening. I gathered the courage to talk to her and introduced myself as a beginner speaker looking to improve. She listened closely and gave me great advice, “Attend more open microphone (麦克风) events and watch more comedy performances.” Over the next few weeks, I attended more open microphone events and observed how Sania and other skilled comedians made their performances engaging with clever stories. Surprisingly, this helped me understand literature in a new way. I started to think of literature as something to be told. The characters I analyzed became lively figures in a story that I could explain in a more interesting way. Having prepared for some time, I took a chance and asked Sania if she would like to watch my novel presentation and offer advice. She gladly agreed and we met at a study hall one afternoon after school. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the time came for my next class presentation, I was quite different. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
