B Jordan Chiles, a two-time Olympian and three-time World Championship medalist, has made history as part of the first all-Black group of gymnasts to medal at the 2022 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. Two years later, she repeated the accomplishment at the Paris Olympics, where she helped Team USA win gold and Chiles claimed bronze for her floor routine. However, not all of Chiles’s history-making moments have been celebratory. Shortly after earning her individual Olympic medal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) removed her from the bronze, arguing that an inquiry from her coach Cecile Landi challenging her routine’s difficulty rating that increased her score hadn’t been made within the one-minute deadline. This controversial decision made Chiles heartbroken, and she shares the emotional journey in her memoir (回忆录), I’m That Girl: Living the Power of My Dreams. In her new memoir, she opens up about struggles few knew. As a gymnast with a more muscular body, she encountered self-image issues, worsened by harmful comments and unequal judging. She also reveals the emotional abuse she suffered from a former coach, referred to as “Coach X,” who criticized her body and caused her to develop an eating disorder. Despite these challenges, Chiles found support in her family and friends, including fellow gymnast Simone Biles. Biles encouraged her to train at the World Champions Centre after Chiles left Coach X. Their bond strengthened further through shared experiences, especially after the abuse case involving Larry Nassar, though Chiles and Biles never openly discussed it. Chiles’s journey also involved struggling with dark moments, including suicidal thoughts after a setback in her career. But through it all, she has found strength and healing. “Everything that happened shaped who I am today — a fighter still standing.” Now, she hopes her story helps others feel empowered to speak out about their struggles. Having moved on from the Olympic ruling, Chiles is focused on her future, balancing her college life at UCLA while keeping the door open for a potential return to the Olympics in 2028. “I’m just like you,” she writes. “Trying to strive for greatness.” 24 Why was Chiles’ bronze medal taken away after the Paris Olympics? A. Her coach’s inquiry about her score was submitted too late. B. She failed to meet the difficulty requirements of her routine. C. She disobeyed competition rules regarding her performance. D. She lifted difficulty levels without the permission of the CAS. 25. What was the little-known struggle Chiles shared in her memoir? A. Withdrawal of the bronze. B. Physical and mental suffering. C. Severe injuries during the training. D. The coach’s criticism for her irregular diet. 26. What does Chiles’s story mainly want to convey? A. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. B. Life journey is full of unavoidable hardship. C. True strength grows where loved ones support. D. Opportunities always favor the prepared minds. 27. What is the best title for this passage? A. Jordan Chiles’s Memoir: A Guide to Olympic Success B. The Dark Side of Competitive Sports: Abuse and Unfair Judging C. The Rise of a Gymnastics Champion: Jordan Chiles’ Olympic Journey D. Overcoming Adversity: Jordan Chiles’s Fight for Strength and Healing C Can science fiction tell us about the future? Setting aside aliens and spaceships, much contemporary science fiction is concerned with themes such as the impact of artificial intelligence, the danger of ecological collapse and the misuse of corporate power. In all these cases, science fiction writers are taking advantage of the freedom that this type of writing gives them to think about ongoing concerns and picture what they might lead to in the future, coming to surprising and thought-provoking conclusions. All of those do have some predictive value. It means science fiction can play a useful role as a way to predict technological, social and political trends — but in the near term, not the distant future in which it is often set. This is the first of three ways in which science fiction can give us a glimpse of the future. The second is that it can help broaden the mind when assessing future scenarios (设想) for planning purposes, both in government and in business. France’s Defence Innovation Agency is setting up a “red team” of sci-fi writers to propose scenarios that might not have occurred to military planners. Arup, an engineering firm, commissioned Tim Maughan, a science-fiction writer, to create four scenarios of what everyday life might look like as a result of climate change. Tech giants including Google, Microsoft and Apple have also employed sci-fi writers as consultants, using a process sometimes called “design fiction.” And then the third one is more direct: by inspiring people in the tech industry who want to make these fictions a reality. The creation of the mobile phone at Motorola was motivated by the handheld wireless communicators from Star Trek and Amazon’s Alexa voice-assistant by the talking computer on the Enterprise. The Kindle was inspired by an electronic-book device in Neal Stephenson’s novel The Diamond Age, and an entire industry is trying to bring to life the virtual world he described in Snow Crash. The future technology leaders are certainly reading science fiction today. 28. What does the author think of science fiction? A. It focuses mainly on aliens and spaceships. B. It explores current issues to imagine the future. C. It addresses the contemporary existing problems. D. It aims to predict technological progress in the future. 29. Why do the government and the business hire sci-fi writers? A. To give support to their creations. B. To better understand science fiction. C. To benefit from their expansive imagination. D. To enhance their influence and commercial value. 30. How does the last paragraph show the impact of science fiction? A. By listing main points. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing causes. D. By explaining a concept. 31. What is the main idea about the text? A. Why is science fiction gaining popularity? B. Science fiction provides insights into the future. C. How does science fiction broaden people’s vision? D. Science fiction serves as an inspiration for inventions. D Free diving is a high-risk sport. Divers, swimming underwater without oxygen tanks, frequently black out from low oxygen and put themselves at risk of drowning. Marine mammals such as seals, by contrast, can spend most of their lives below the surface without such risks. Seals can hold their breath for 20 to 30 minutes on average and some even for over an hour. A March 20th Science paper explains why: seals can apparently sense how much oxygen they have in their blood and plan their actions accordingly. When a mammal holds its breath, oxygen levels drop while carbon dioxide rises. In humans low oxygen mostly does not ring any alarm bells on their own — instead, high levels of carbon dioxide eventually produce the unpleasant urge to breathe. As seals dive more frequently — and for longer — than humans do, the range of carbon dioxide in their bodies varies more widely. That led Chris McKnight, a marine biologist, to wonder if the animals could also sense oxygen. To test this, he and his team placed six wild-caught seals in a tank containing an underwater feeding station and a breathing chamber (for surfacing) at opposite ends. The air in that chamber was then set to one of four conditions: normal air (21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide, plus other gases); air with reduced oxygen (11%); elevated oxygen (50%); and elevated carbon dioxide (8%). If the seals were, like humans, more sensitive to carbon dioxide, their behavior would be identical in all but the final condition. The results suggested otherwise. With more oxygen, the seals extended their dives by an average of 14 seconds. They shortened them by roughly half a minute with less oxygen. High carbon dioxide levels, by contrast, had no significant effect. Dr. McKnight suggests that the ability to sense low oxygen may be common in marine mammals, possibly as a defense against drowning. More research is needed to understand how widespread this ability is and how diving animals perceive oxygen. While expert divers use the sensation of an approaching black-out from low oxygen as a cue to resurface, how seals do this is still a mystery. 32. The underlined phrase “black out” in paragraph 1 most likely means _______. A. turn pale B. sink slowly C. stop breathing D. pass out 33. What motivates Chris McKnight to study oxygen-sensing ability of seals? A. Lower oxygen tolerance in human divers. B. Seals’ ability to dive for extended periods. C. Seals’ wide variations in CO2 levels during dives. D. Humans’ strong reaction to rising carbon dioxide. 34. What is true according to paragraph 3 and paragraph 4? A. Elevated oxygen lengthens seals’ dive duration. B. Low oxygen causes seals to dive 14 seconds longer. C. Seals prioritize CO2 sensitivity over oxygen detection. D. Seals’ reactions were presumed exactly equal to humans’. 35. Which remains unknown about seals according to the text? A. The duration of holding their breath. B. The reason why they can dive safely. C. The ability to adjust the timing of resurfacing. D. The mechanism for triggering their resurfacing. 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。 Next time you’re pushing through the burn of a workout, remember that exercise can also be a remedy (疗法). Research indicates that it serves as an effective approach to fighting chronic inflammation, particularly among those with physically inactive habits. ___36___ It can begin with an infection or injury but evolve into a lasting state. Then the immune system attacks healthy tissue gradually. This process raises disease risks and contributes to tiredness, depression, or brain fog. The scientific evidence is clear that sedentary (久坐的) people tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared with people who exercise regularly. ___37___ Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so effective at protecting us against other chronic conditions. While some findings highlight exercise’s anti-inflammatory power, maximizing its effects requires strategic approaches. ___38___ For example, a 20-minute walk or jog everyday regularly can spark temporary anti-inflammatory effects. Most moderate-intensity exercise reduces inflammation short-term, but sticking with it is key. High-intensity exercise itself produces a temporary surge (激增) in inflammation. ___39___ For similar reasons, you should avoid overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken your immune system. If possible, prioritize strength training. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less inflammation. So strength training may be especially important for them to remain mobile and independent. It is recommended that adults make time for at least two strength-training sessions per week. ___40___ This combined approach not only builds muscle but also interrupts chronic inflammatory pathways. A. So it’s important to properly heal between workouts. B. Findings have confirmed that workouts can help you relaxed. C. Chronic inflammation is a mild condition that can persist for years. D. But once they start moving consistently, the levels generally decline. E. Sometimes inflammation serves a vital function in keeping you healthy. F. It is how you exercise not just whether you exercise that plays a critical role. G. Such training targets inflammation-causing cells, especially with aerobic exercise. 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。 On a Friday night, Lucas, a poor young artist, was playing his worn violin at the gate of the subway station.

The next day, Lucas came to the same place. ___43___, he took out a large piece of paper, laid it on the ground and began playing. Before long, the young man was surrounded by audience, some of whom were ___44___ by the words on the paper. It ___45___, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat ___46___. Please come to ___47___ it soon.” After about half an hour, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran there and said he was Mr. George Sang. Then Lucas asked, “Did you ___48___ something?” “A lottery ticket (彩票), with my name on it,” said the man.

Kane, his face reddened by the cold, caught sight of a broken trash bag lying on the shoulder (路肩). “Anything in a bag along the highway usually isn’t good,” he muttered under his breath, feeling a sense of unease. As they approached, the contents of the bag spilled out, revealing tennis shoes and toys bursting from gift wrapping. Their eyes widened in surprise; it was a sight they hadn’t expected. Kane and Ramey carefully loaded the bag into their truck and drove back to the headquarters. Once there, they sought through reports, hoping to find a match for the lost gifts, but in vain. “We can’t just let these sit here,” said Ramey, his brow knitted in concern. They decided to turn to social media. Kane, with a determined look on his face, crafted a detailed Facebook post leaving out the names on the gift tags for security reasons. “We’ve got to try to get these back to the family soon. I remember how excited I was as a kid on Christmas,” he said, his voice filled with empathy. Hours ticked by, and the day wore on. By 5 p.m., Kane was packing up, disappointment evident in his eyes. He informed the night crew, emphasizing the importance of keeping an eye out for any inquiries. “Someone might be in touch. These gifts could mean the world to a family,” he urged. Around 9 p.m., the phone at WSDOT’s office rang. David Carlile, a grandfather, had lost a crucial trash bag filled with kids’ Christmas gifts. The pieces of the puzzle were finally falling into place. They immediately informed Carlile that they might have found his lost bag and arranged to meet him. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 As Carlile drove towards the meeting point, he couldn’t help but think about the incident. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, when Carlile pulled into the WSDOT parking lot, he saw two men waiting beside a familiar-looking bag. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年度第二学期期中学业质量监测试卷 高二英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1.本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卷交回。 2.答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号用0.5毫米黑色字迹签字笔填写在答题卷上。 3.请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、考试证号与你本人的是否相符。 4.作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米的签字笔写在答题卷上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面的5段对话。每段对话后都有一个小题，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】 Who is the man speaking to?

Two years later, she repeated the accomplishment at the Paris Olympics, where she helped Team USA win gold and Chiles claimed bronze for her floor routine. However, not all of Chiles’s history-making moments have been celebratory. Shortly after earning her individual Olympic medal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) removed her from the bronze, arguing that an inquiry from her coach Cecile Landi challenging her routine’s difficulty rating that increased her score hadn’t been made within the one-minute deadline. This controversial decision made Chiles heartbroken, and she shares the emotional journey in her memoir (回忆录), I’m That Girl: Living the Power of My Dreams. In her new memoir, she opens up about struggles few knew. As a gymnast with a more muscular body, she encountered self-image issues, worsened by harmful comments and unequal judging. She also reveals the emotional abuse she suffered from a former coach, referred to as “Coach X,” who criticized her body and caused her to develop an eating disorder. Despite these challenges, Chiles found support in her family and friends, including fellow gymnast Simone Biles. Biles encouraged her to train at the World Champions Centre after Chiles left Coach X. Their bond strengthened further through shared experiences, especially after the abuse case involving Larry Nassar, though Chiles and Biles never openly discussed it. Chiles’s journey also involved struggling with dark moments, including suicidal thoughts after a setback in her career. But through it all, she has found strength and healing. “Everything that happened shaped who I am today — a fighter still standing.” Now, she hopes her story helps others feel empowered to speak out about their struggles. Having moved on from the Olympic ruling, Chiles is focused on her future, balancing her college life at UCLA while keeping the door open for a potential return to the Olympics in 2028. “I’m just like you,” she writes. “Trying to strive for greatness.” 24. Why was Chiles’ bronze medal taken away after the Paris Olympics? A. Her coach’s inquiry about her score was submitted too late. B. She failed to meet the difficulty requirements of her routine. C. She disobeyed competition rules regarding her performance. D. She lifted difficulty levels without the permission of the CAS. 25. What was the little-known struggle Chiles shared in her memoir? A. Withdrawal of the bronze. B. Physical and mental suffering. C. Severe injuries during the training. D. The coach’s criticism for her irregular diet. 26. What does Chiles’s story mainly want to convey? A. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. B. Life journey is full of unavoidable hardship. C. True strength grows where loved ones support. D. Opportunities always favor the prepared minds. 27. What is the best title for this passage? A. Jordan Chiles’s Memoir: A Guide to Olympic Success B. The Dark Side of Competitive Sports: Abuse and Unfair Judging C. The Rise of a Gymnastics Champion: Jordan Chiles’ Olympic Journey D. Overcoming Adversity: Jordan Chiles’s Fight for Strength and Healing 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了奥运体操选手Jordan Chiles经历了奖牌被收回、情感虐待与心理低谷，但她凭借坚韧和亲友支持走出阴影，并通过自传激励他人。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Shortly after earning her individual Olympic medal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) removed her from the bronze, arguing that an inquiry from her coach Cecile Landi challenging her routine’s difficulty rating that increased her score hadn’t been made within the one-minute deadline. (在获得个人奥运奖牌后不久，体育仲裁法庭(CAS)取消了她的铜牌成绩，理由是她的教练Cecile Landi对其动作难度评分的申诉未在一分钟截止时间内提交，而该申诉提高了她的得分。)”可知，巴黎奥运会后Chiles的铜牌被取消是因为她的教练关于她分数的申诉提交得太晚。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In her new memoir, she opens up about struggles few knew. As a gymnast with a more muscular body, she encountered self-image issues, worsened by harmful comments and unequal judging. She also reveals the emotional abuse she suffered from a former coach, referred to as “Coach X,” who criticized her body and caused her to develop an eating disorder. (在她的新回忆录中，她首次袒露了鲜为人知的挣扎。作为一名肌肉更发达的体操运动员，她长期饱受自我形象问题的困扰，而充满恶意的评论和不公正的评判更是雪上加霜。她还揭露了前教练“X教练”对她的情感虐待——对方不仅对她的身材百般挑剔，还导致她患上了饮食失调症。)”和最后一段中“Chiles’s journey also involved struggling with dark moments, including suicidal thoughts after a setback in her career. (在职业生涯遭遇挫折后，她甚至一度产生轻生念头，经历了人生至暗时刻。)”可知，Chiles在回忆录中分享的不为人知的挣扎是身体和心理上的痛苦。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章主要讲述Chiles如何克服奖牌被收、虐待、自杀念头这些困难，并变得更坚强的故事，以及最后一段中“But through it all, she has found strength and healing. “Everything that happened shaped who I am today — a fighter still standing.” (但历经磨难，她最终找到了力量与治愈。“所有经历塑造了今天的我——一个依然挺立的斗士。”)”可知，经历逆境淬炼的Chiles变得更为强大。由此可知，她的故事主要想传达“那些杀不死你的，终将使你更强大”。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“But through it all, she has found strength and healing. “Everything that happened shaped who I am today — a fighter still standing.” (但历经磨难，她最终找到了力量与治愈。“所有经历塑造了今天的我——一个依然挺立的斗士。”)”可知，文章聚焦Chiles的挣扎和她的韧性，讲述了她在经历一系列低谷后，凭借坚韧和亲友支持走出阴影，并通过自传激励他人的故事。因此，D项“战胜逆境：Jordan Chiles的力量与治愈之路”最全面概括了Jordan Chile的故事，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 C Can science fiction tell us about the future? Setting aside aliens and spaceships, much contemporary science fiction is concerned with themes such as the impact of artificial intelligence, the danger of ecological collapse and the misuse of corporate power. In all these cases, science fiction writers are taking advantage of the freedom that this type of writing gives them to think about ongoing concerns and picture what they might lead to in the future, coming to surprising and thought-provoking conclusions. All of those do have some predictive value. It means science fiction can play a useful role as a way to predict technological, social and political trends — but in the near term, not the distant future in which it is often set. This is the first of three ways in which science fiction can give us a glimpse of the future. The second is that it can help broaden the mind when assessing future scenarios (设想) for planning purposes, both in government and in business. France’s Defence Innovation Agency is setting up a “red team” of sci-fi writers to propose scenarios that might not have occurred to military planners. Arup, an engineering firm, commissioned Tim Maughan, a science-fiction writer, to create four scenarios of what everyday life might look like as a result of climate change. Tech giants including Google, Microsoft and Apple have also employed sci-fi writers as consultants, using a process sometimes called “design fiction.” And then the third one is more direct: by inspiring people in the tech industry who want to make these fictions a reality. The creation of the mobile phone at Motorola was motivated by the handheld wireless communicators from Star Trek, and Amazon’s Alexa voice-assistant by the talking computer on the Enterprise. The Kindle was inspired by an electronic-book device in Neal Stephenson’s novel The Diamond Age, and an entire industry is trying to bring to life the virtual world he described in Snow Crash. The future technology leaders are certainly reading science fiction today. 28. What does the author think of science fiction? A. It focuses mainly on aliens and spaceships. B. It explores current issues to imagine the future. C. It addresses the contemporary existing problems. D. It aims to predict technological progress in the future. 29. Why do the government and the business hire sci-fi writers? A. To give support to their creations. B. To better understand science fiction. C. To benefit from their expansive imagination. D. To enhance their influence and commercial value. 30. How does the last paragraph show the impact of science fiction? A. By listing main points. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing causes. D. By explaining a concept. 31. What is the main idea about the text? A. Why is science fiction gaining popularity? B. Science fiction provides insights into the future. C. How does science fiction broaden people’s vision? D. Science fiction serves as an inspiration for inventions. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科幻小说通过推演现实问题的发展趋势、辅助战略规划和直接激发科技创新，为人类提供了多维度预见未来的独特视角。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It means science fiction can play a useful role as a way to predict technological, social and political trends — but in the near term, not the distant future in which it is often set.

Divers, swimming underwater without oxygen tanks, frequently black out from low oxygen and put themselves at risk of drowning. Marine mammals such as seals, by contrast, can spend most of their lives below the surface without such risks. Seals can hold their breath for 20 to 30 minutes on average and some even for over an hour. A March 20th Science paper explains why: seals can apparently sense how much oxygen they have in their blood and plan their actions accordingly. When a mammal holds its breath, oxygen levels drop while carbon dioxide rises. In humans low oxygen mostly does not ring any alarm bells on their own — instead, high levels of carbon dioxide eventually produce the unpleasant urge to breathe. As seals dive more frequently — and for longer — than humans do, the range of carbon dioxide in their bodies varies more widely. That led Chris McKnight, a marine biologist, to wonder if the animals could also sense oxygen. To test this, he and his team placed six wild-caught seals in a tank containing an underwater feeding station and a breathing chamber (for surfacing) at opposite ends. The air in that chamber was then set to one of four conditions: normal air (21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide, plus other gases); air with reduced oxygen (11%); elevated oxygen (50%); and elevated carbon dioxide (8%). If the seals were, like humans, more sensitive to carbon dioxide, their behavior would be identical in all but the final condition. The results suggested otherwise. With more oxygen, the seals extended their dives by an average of 14 seconds. They shortened them by roughly half a minute with less oxygen. High carbon dioxide levels, by contrast, had no significant effect. Dr. McKnight suggests that the ability to sense low oxygen may be common in marine mammals, possibly as a defense against drowning. More research is needed to understand how widespread this ability is and how diving animals perceive oxygen. While expert divers use the sensation of an approaching black-out from low oxygen as a cue to resurface, how seals do this is still a mystery. 32. The underlined phrase “black out” in paragraph 1 most likely means _______. A. turn pale B. sink slowly C. stop breathing D. pass out 33. What motivates Chris McKnight to study oxygen-sensing ability of seals? A. Lower oxygen tolerance in human divers. B. Seals’ ability to dive for extended periods. C. Seals’ wide variations in CO2 levels during dives. D. Humans’ strong reaction to rising carbon dioxide. 34 What is true according to paragraph 3 and paragraph 4? A. Elevated oxygen lengthens seals’ dive duration. B. Low oxygen causes seals to dive 14 seconds longer. C. Seals prioritize CO2 sensitivity over oxygen detection. D. Seals’ reactions were presumed exactly equal to humans’. 35. Which remains unknown about seals according to the text? A. The duration of holding their breath. B. The reason why they can dive safely. C. The ability to adjust the timing of resurfacing. D. The mechanism for triggering their resurfacing. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明，海豹能感知血氧水平并据此规划潜水行为，但触发其浮出水面的具体机制仍然未知。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Divers, swimming underwater without oxygen tanks (潜水员，在没有氧气罐的情况下在水下游泳)”和下文“low oxygen and put themselves at risk of drowning (低氧并使自己处于溺水的危险之中)”可知，此处是描述自由潜水员因缺氧而失去意识的场景，对比选项可知，“昏厥”最符合这种因缺氧导致的短暂意识丧失的情况。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As seals dive more frequently — and for longer — than humans do, the range of carbon dioxide in their bodies varies more widely. That led Chris McKnight, a marine biologist, to wonder if the animals could also sense oxygen. (由于海豹比人类潜水更频繁、时间更长，它们体内的二氧化碳含量变化也更大。这让海洋生物学家Chris McKnight想知道这些动物是否也能感知氧气)”可知，海豹潜水时体内二氧化碳水平变化范围更大，这引发McKnight思考海豹是否能感知氧气。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“With more oxygen, the seals extended their dives by an average of 14 seconds. (有了更多的氧气，海豹的潜水时间平均延长了14秒)”可知，高氧延长了海豹的潜水时间。故选A项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While expert divers use the sensation of an approaching black-out from low oxygen as a cue to resurface, how seals do this is still a mystery. (虽然专业潜水员会利用低氧导致的即将昏厥的感觉作为浮出水面的线索，但海豹是如何做到这一点的仍然是个谜)”可知，触发海豹重新浮出水面的机制仍然未知。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Next time you’re pushing through the burn of a workout, remember that exercise can also be a remedy (疗法). Research indicates that it serves as an effective approach to fighting chronic inflammation, particularly among those with physically inactive habits. ___36___ It can begin with an infection or injury but evolve into a lasting state. Then the immune system attacks healthy tissue gradually. This process raises disease risks and contributes to tiredness, depression, or brain fog. The scientific evidence is clear that sedentary (久坐的) people tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared with people who exercise regularly. ___37___ Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so effective at protecting us against other chronic conditions. While some findings highlight exercise’s anti-inflammatory power, maximizing its effects requires strategic approaches. ___38___ For example, a 20-minute walk or jog everyday regularly can spark temporary anti-inflammatory effects. Most moderate-intensity exercise reduces inflammation short-term, but sticking with it is key. High-intensity exercise itself produces a temporary surge (激增) in inflammation. ___39___ For similar reasons, you should avoid overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken your immune system. If possible, prioritize strength training. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less inflammation. So strength training may be especially important for them to remain mobile and independent. It is recommended that adults make time for at least two strength-training sessions per week. ___40___ This combined approach not only builds muscle but also interrupts chronic inflammatory pathways. A. So it’s important to properly heal between workouts. B. Findings have confirmed that workouts can help you relaxed. C. Chronic inflammation is a mild condition that can persist for years. D. But once they start moving consistently, the levels generally decline. E. Sometimes inflammation serves a vital function in keeping you healthy. F. It is how you exercise not just whether you exercise that plays a critical role. G. Such training targets inflammation-causing cells, especially with aerobic exercise. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. F 39. A 40.

Kane, his face reddened by the cold, caught sight of a broken trash bag lying on the shoulder (路肩). “Anything in a bag along the highway usually isn’t good,” he muttered under his breath, feeling a sense of unease. As they approached, the contents of the bag spilled out, revealing tennis shoes and toys bursting from gift wrapping. Their eyes widened in surprise; it was a sight they hadn’t expected. Kane and Ramey carefully loaded the bag into their truck and drove back to the headquarters. Once there, they sought through reports, hoping to find a match for the lost gifts, but in vain. “We can’t just let these sit here,” said Ramey, his brow knitted in concern. They decided to turn to social media. Kane, with a determined look on his face, crafted a detailed Facebook post leaving out the names on the gift tags for security reasons. “We’ve got to try to get these back to the family soon. I remember how excited I was as a kid on Christmas,” he said, his voice filled with empathy. Hours ticked by, and the day wore on. By 5 p.m., Kane was packing up, disappointment evident in his eyes. He informed the night crew, emphasizing the importance of keeping an eye out for any inquiries. “Someone might be in touch. These gifts could mean the world to a family,” he urged.

His heart ached at the thought of his grandchildren’s disappointment if the gifts were truly lost. He replayed the moment he realized the bag was missing — how it must have slipped from his truck unnoticed. A mix of guilt and hope swirled in his chest. “Those workers went out of their way to help,” he murmured, grateful for their kindness. The holiday spirit, he realized, wasn’t just about presents but about people looking out for one another. Finally, when Carlile pulled into the WSDOT parking lot, he saw two men waiting beside a familiar-looking bag. His breath caught as he recognized the torn wrapping and his grandchildren’s names on the tags. Kane and Ramey greeted him warmly, their faces lit with relief. “We’re just glad we could help,” Kane said, handing over the bag. Carlile’s eyes welled up as he shook their hands. “You’ve saved Christmas for my family,” he replied, his voice thick with emotion. As he drove home, the weight of the bag beside him felt like a precious treasure — not just because it held the gifts, but because it carried the kindness of strangers who had made his family’s Christmas whole again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年圣诞节前夕，华盛顿州交通部的两名维修工人在高速路边发现一袋被遗落的圣诞礼物。他们立即将礼物带回总部，并通过社交媒体寻找失主。几小时后，焦急寻找礼物的祖父Carlile终于联系上他们。当礼物物归原主时，Carlile感动不已，这不仅挽救了他孙辈的圣诞节，更让他感受到陌生人之间最真挚的善意。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Carlile开车前往会合点时，他忍不住想起了这件事”可知，第一段可描写Carlile回想包裹丢失的场景，内心各种情绪交杂，以及想到工人帮忙找回包裹而心生感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，当Carlile把车开进WSDOT的停车场时，他看到两个男人在一个看起来很熟悉的包旁边等着”可知，第二段可描写Kane和Ramey如释重负地把包裹交还给Carlile，Carlile向他们表示深切的感谢。 2. 续写线索：Carlile回忆——Carlile内心复杂感受——Carlile内心感激——Carlile到达地点——Kane和Ramey交还包裹——Carlile感谢 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/recognize ②低声说：murmur/whisper/mutter ③回复：reply/respond/answer 情绪类 ①失望：disappointment/letdown/frustration ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] His heart ached at the thought of his grandchildren’s disappointment if the gifts were truly lost.
