B Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise (蓝绿色)Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.” Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 4. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement? A. To host more parties in her front yard. B. To entertain her friends and neighbors. C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D. To create harmonious communities worldwide. 5. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text? A. Creative and sociable. B. Friendly and humorous. C. Generous and ambitious. D. Cautious and responsible. 6. What can be inferred from the text? A. People don’t like others to step into their houses. B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad. C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party. D. People feel unwilling to join in the front yard chat at first. C When was the last time you ate and only focused on eating? Many of us eat while working, fiddling with our smartphones or on the go. Distracted eating, as it is termed in scientific literature, coincides with greater flexibility in where we can eat our food and the accessibility of distractions. As a result, “you get this weird blend of different activities. They’re no longer fixed to certain places and times,” said Lotte van Dillen, a professor of social psychology at Leiden University. “You can do everything anywhere at any moment. That’s not good.” When van Dillen and her colleagues conducted studies of large, representative samples of people in the Netherlands, they found a “surprisingly consistent” result: Roughly 70 to 75 percent of the time, people are distracted and doing something else when they eat. Distracted eating could have adverse (不利的) health consequences. Studies show that when we are distracted, we tend to eat more. And when we are done eating, we are more likely to eat again sooner. In turn, regular distracted eating is associated with weight gain. At the same time, distractions prevent us from fully tasting or enjoying what we are eating by disrupting signals in our brain. Despite eating more, “it’s kind of tragic that you’re not enjoying it so much,” van Dillen said. When we eat, our guts (肠道) getting full, a process which takes about 20 minutes. But being distracted makes it harder to release satiety hormones that signal to our brains that we are experience these satiety signals. Distractions add cognitive load to our brains that competes with and reduces our ability to sense not only the amount of food and how full we are getting, but also its taste. In an early experiment from a 2013 study van Dillen and her colleagues had 42 participants sweeten their own lemonade with sugary syrup to taste. Some were distracted by an easy cognitive task (memorizing a one-digit number), while others had a harder one (memorizing a seven-digit number). Those challenged with the harder mental task added a whopping 50 percent more of the sugary syrup but did not report their drink as sweeter than participants doing the easier mental task. In a follow-up 2023 study published in the journal Appetite, van Dillen and her colleagues put 46 participants in an FMRI brain scanner and fed them sugar water of different sweetness levels through a bundle of tubes. When participants had a more challenging cognitive task, they rated the strong sugar solution as less sweet than when the task was easy. In short, distractions have a “sledgehammer effect” on our senses, van Dillen said. In a 2024 study, van Dillen and her colleagues found evidence that distractions cause otherwise enjoyable activities such as eating a snack, reading a novel or watching TV, to feel less enjoyable that we expected. Feeling underwhelmed, we are more likely to overconsume to make up for this shortfall in enjoyment, engaging in what researchers call “hedonic (快乐的) compensation.” 7. Which of the following behaviors can be considered as “distracted eating”? A. You eat dinner at a fixed place and time. B. You eat snacks while working on your essay. C. You have breakfast in a relaxing environment. D You have lunch at school without doing anything else. 8. What can we know about “satiety hormones” from paragraph 5? A. They make distractions. B. They stimulate appetite. C. They add cognitive load. D. They send satiety signals. 9. How did van Dillen and her colleagues carry out their experiments? A. By conducting interviews. B. By testing effectiveness. C. By making comparisons. D. By distributing surveys. 10. What can we learn from the studies? A. Distracted eating prompts us to taste more flavors. B. Fully experiencing the food can help us better enjoy it. C. Distractions fail to change how the brain processes taste. D. The food will be tasteless if we choose to do harder work. D Amid mounting global plastic pollution — a crisis worsened by 400 million tons of annual waste, 46% of which are single-use PET plastics — researchers have engineered PETase Plus, a bioengineered enzyme (酶) capable of degrading PET polymers (聚合物) 90% faster than natural enzymes. Published in Nature Biotechnology, this breakthrough, achieved through multinational cooperation, could redefine waste management by transforming non-recyclable plastics into reusable raw materials. Yet, its significance extends far beyond laboratories, sparking heated debates among scientists, policymakers, and environmentalists. Unlike conventional recycling, which demands energy-intensive processes (exceeding 250℃) to melt plastics and produces useless materials, PETase Plus operates under mild conditions. By degrading PET’s molecular bonds, it breaks down plastics into base components that can be re-integrated into high-quality products or even biofuels. According to Dr. Liam Harper, lead author of the study, “This method cuts energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 80%, offering industries a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.” However, critics caution against unchecked optimism. While PETase Plus excels in controlled lab environments, applying it for industrial or environmental use risks unintended ecological harm. Dr. Emily Carter, a biochemist, warns, “Engineered enzymes released into landfills or oceans might also degrade natural polymers, destabilizing soil structures or marine ecosystems. Without proper restrictions, the solution to plastic waste could become an ecological disaster.” Ethical conflicts further complicate its adoption. Environmental advocates insist plastic manufacturers — responsible for 70% of global PET production — should fund large-scale application of the technology. However, industry leaders argue that governments must provide financial support to encourage innovation. Meanwhile, developing nations, where waste management system is underdeveloped, view PETase Plus as a potential lifeline, though fears spread that wealthy countries might not share the technology. As research advances, PETase Plus is facing a challenge: a scientific success shadowed by ethical and ecological dilemmas. Its success relies not merely on biochemical efficiency but on multi-party cooperation to balance innovation with caring for our planet. 11. According to paragraph 2, what is one advantage of PETase Plus over traditional recycling methods? A. It produces biofuels straight from plastic waste. B. It functions effectively at relatively low temperatures. C. It removes the need for industrial funding. D. It reduces the cost by 60%. 12. What concern do critics emphasize about PETase Plus? A. Its funding resource is still not clear. B. It may disturb natural ecosystems. C. It requires expensive lab equipment. D. Its mechanism is not yet understood. 13. Why does the author quote Dr. Emily Carter? A. To stress the necessity for ecological regulations. B. To question the enzyme’s degradation efficiency. C. To advocate for industry-led innovation. D. To highlight the technical limitations of PETase Plus. 14. What can be a possible result of the future application of PETase Plus? A. Developing nations will reject the technology due to high costs. B. Ethical conflicts might prevent its widespread application. C. Governments will cease funding traditional recycling. D Ecological risks will be removed. 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anxiety does not cause bad results in exams. Yet it is the preparing periods that do. ___15___. The silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the sharp eyes of the teacher; the proud expression of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. Therefore, it seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. What is, perhaps, surprising, according to research published recently in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald at the Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall that causes the problem. ___16___. Dr. Theobald once supposed that if anxiety was truly affecting a student’s ability to transfer known information from brain to paper via pen, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock (模拟的) exam. ___17___. Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict the performance was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam. ___18___, regardless of how anxious they were on the day. What actually influenced students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period. ___19___. To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can decrease the significance of the test in their hearts. A. All people do not like exams B. Instead, it is the pressure of revision C. The findings of the research support such a view D. Those who performed well in it also did well in the real thing E. Exams are anxiety-causing, especially for those who are easy to get anxious F. However, what Dr. Theobald found in the research was not what she expected G. This is a positive discovery, suggesting a change of approach might help improve their results 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15个小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At one night in July 2020 in Reykjavik, Halli was wandering around the city’s main street with his wife and two kids.

He promised to do it when he got back from Kim's house. However, I demanded that he not leave the house until he finished writing a note to everyone he came in contact with during the job interview. “Even the receptionist who was rude to me?” Jon asked with a confused expression. “Especially her!” Jon was home on Christmas break from college and had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply. The power of a thank-you note is something I drilled into my boy from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. It didn't matter if it was for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. Every gift had to be acknowledged with sincere gratitude within twenty-four hours. Growing up, my mom was a stickler for thank-you notes. But she phrased it in such a way that it came across not as a threat but as a privilege. She'd say, “Your words of sincere gratitude have the power to change someone's life for the better—even if it's just for a moment.” Her advice changed my life, and it was my hope that it would change Jon's life as well. After an hour, Jon emerged from his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt, even the one to the receptionist who had been less than friendly. Before Jon left to visit Kim, he turned to me and announced that he was pretty sure a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist wasn't going to land him the job. With a smile, I told him to wait and see. Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn't want him living in our basement for the rest of his life! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 A week later, Jon received a call from the company. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 蒙阴一中2024-2025学年度下学期高二期中考试 英语试题 注意：本试卷分四个部分, 答案全部做在答题纸上。总分为150分。考试时间120分钟。 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） 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.

Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.” Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 4. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement? A. To host more parties in her front yard. B. To entertain her friends and neighbors. C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D. To create harmonious communities worldwide. 5. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text? A. Creative and sociable. B. Friendly and humorous. C. Generous and ambitious. D. Cautious and responsible. 6. What can be inferred from the text? A. People don’t like others to step into their houses. B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad. C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party. D. People feel unwilling to join in the front yard chat at first. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6.

Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.”（克里斯汀·谢尔(Kristin Schell)是“绿松石桌”(the Turquoise Table)的创始人，这是一个普通人想要在自己的前院建立社区的运动。十年前，她和家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家。）以及第二段中“One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party.”（一天，克里斯汀试图通过举办一个聚会来与她的新邻居建立联系。）和第四段中“It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others”（这是一种简单的方式，可以让你放慢脚步，与他人交流。）可推知，克里斯汀·谢尔发起这项运动的目的是与邻居接触。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.”（“聚会结束后，我把桌子漆成了我最喜欢的绿松石色，然后把它放在前院，离人行道只有几英尺远，”她说。）以及后文克里斯汀后来发起了“绿松石桌”运动可知，克里斯汀具有创造性。根据第四段中“Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea.”（克里斯汀邀请人们和她一起坐在桌边喝咖啡或冰茶。）可知，克里斯汀是一个热情，好交际的人。由此可推知，克里斯汀·谢尔是一个有创造力，善于交际的人。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world.”（从德州开始的十年后，成千上万的绿松石桌遍布全球50个州和13个国家。）可推知，这场运动在国内外都产生了巨大的影响。故选B项。 C When was the last time you ate and only focused on eating? Many of us eat while working, fiddling with our smartphones or on the go. Distracted eating, as it is termed in scientific literature, coincides with greater flexibility in where we can eat our food and the accessibility of distractions. As a result, “you get this weird blend of different activities. They’re no longer fixed to certain places and times,” said Lotte van Dillen, a professor of social psychology at Leiden University. “You can do everything anywhere at any moment. That’s not good.” When van Dillen and her colleagues conducted studies of large, representative samples of people in the Netherlands, they found a “surprisingly consistent” result: Roughly 70 to 75 percent of the time, people are distracted and doing something else when they eat. Distracted eating could have adverse (不利的) health consequences. Studies show that when we are distracted, we tend to eat more. And when we are done eating, we are more likely to eat again sooner. In turn, regular distracted eating is associated with weight gain. At the same time, distractions prevent us from fully tasting or enjoying what we are eating by disrupting signals in our brain. Despite eating more, “it’s kind of tragic that you’re not enjoying it so much,” van Dillen said. When we eat, our guts (肠道) getting full, a process which takes about 20 minutes. But being distracted makes it harder to release satiety hormones that signal to our brains that we are experience these satiety signals. Distractions add cognitive load to our brains that competes with and reduces our ability to sense not only the amount of food and how full we are getting, but also its taste. In an early experiment from a 2013 study, van Dillen and her colleagues had 42 participants sweeten their own lemonade with sugary syrup to taste. Some were distracted by an easy cognitive task (memorizing a one-digit number), while others had a harder one (memorizing a seven-digit number). Those challenged with the harder mental task added a whopping 50 percent more of the sugary syrup but did not report their drink as sweeter than participants doing the easier mental task. In a follow-up 2023 study published in the journal Appetite, van Dillen and her colleagues put 46 participants in an FMRI brain scanner and fed them sugar water of different sweetness levels through a bundle of tubes. When participants had a more challenging cognitive task, they rated the strong sugar solution as less sweet than when the task was easy. In short, distractions have a “sledgehammer effect” on our senses, van Dillen said. In a 2024 study, van Dillen and her colleagues found evidence that distractions cause otherwise enjoyable activities such as eating a snack, reading a novel or watching TV, to feel less enjoyable that we expected. Feeling underwhelmed, we are more likely to overconsume to make up for this shortfall in enjoyment, engaging in what researchers call “hedonic (快乐的) compensation.” 7. Which of the following behaviors can be considered as “distracted eating”? A. You eat dinner at a fixed place and time. B. You eat snacks while working on your essay. C. You have breakfast in a relaxing environment. D. You have lunch at school without doing anything else. 8. What can we know about “satiety hormones” from paragraph 5? A. They make distractions. B. They stimulate appetite. C They add cognitive load. D. They send satiety signals. 9. How did van Dillen and her colleagues carry out their experiments? A. By conducting interviews. B. By testing effectiveness. C. By making comparisons. D. By distributing surveys. 10. What can we learn from the studies? A. Distracted eating prompts us to taste more flavors. B. Fully experiencing the food can help us better enjoy it. C. Distractions fail to change how the brain processes taste. D. The food will be tasteless if we choose to do harder work. 【答案】7. B 8. D 9. C 10. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍当下很多人存在分心进食的现象，即边吃东西边工作、玩手机或在途中进食，莱顿大学的社会心理学教授Lotte van Dillen认为这种不同活动随意混合且不固定于特定时间地点的模式并不好。van Dillen及其同事对荷兰大量有代表性的人群研究发现，约 70%到75% 的进食时间里人们会分心做其他事。分心进食会带来不良健康后果，如使人进食增多、更易很快再次进食，进而导致体重增加。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Many of us eat while working, fiddling with our smartphones or on the go. Distracted eating, as it is termed in scientific literature, coincides with greater flexibility in where we can eat our food and the accessibility of distractions.( 我们中的许多人在工作、摆弄智能手机或外出时吃东西。在科学文献中，这种现象被称为“分心进食”，它与我们选择进食地点的灵活性和受干扰的可能性相吻合。)”可知，边工作边吃东西属于分心进食。B 选项“写论文时吃零食”，符合一边吃东西一边做其他事的分心进食特征。故选B项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“But being distracted makes it harder to release satiety hormones that signal to our brains that we are experience these satiety signals.( 但分心会让我们更难释放饱腹感激素，而饱腹感激素会向大脑发出信号，告诉我们正在经历这些饱腹感信号。)” 可知，饱腹感荷尔蒙（satiety hormones）的作用是向大脑发送饱腹感信号。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Some were distracted by an easy cognitive task (memorizing a one-digit number), while others had a harder one (memorizing a seven-digit number).( 一些人被一个简单的认知任务（记住一个一位数）分散了注意力，而另一些人则被一个更难的任务（记住一个七位数）分散了注意力。)”以及第七段中“When participants had a more challenging cognitive task, they rated the strong sugar solution as less sweet than when the task was easy.( 当参与者面临更具挑战性的认知任务时，他们认为浓糖溶液的甜度不如简单任务时高。)”可知，van Dillen 和她的同事在实验中通过设置不同难度的认知任务，对不同条件下的参与者进行对比，从而得出实验结果。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the same time, distractions prevent us from fully tasting or enjoying what we are eating by disrupting signals in our brain. Despite eating more, “it’s kind of tragic that you’re not enjoying it so much,” van Dillen said.( 与此同时，分心会干扰我们大脑中的信号，使我们无法充分品尝或享受我们正在吃的东西。尽管吃得更多了，“但你并没有那么喜欢它，这有点可悲，”van Dillen说。)”可知，分心进食会干扰大脑信号，使我们无法充分品尝和享受食物。反之，充分体验食物能帮助我们更好地享受它。故选B项。 D Amid mounting global plastic pollution — a crisis worsened by 400 million tons of annual waste, 46% of which are single-use PET plastics — researchers have engineered PETase Plus, a bioengineered enzyme (酶) capable of degrading PET polymers (聚合物) 90% faster than natural enzymes. Published in Nature Biotechnology, this breakthrough, achieved through multinational cooperation, could redefine waste management by transforming non-recyclable plastics into reusable raw materials. Yet, its significance extends far beyond laboratories, sparking heated debates among scientists, policymakers, and environmentalists. Unlike conventional recycling, which demands energy-intensive processes (exceeding 250℃) to melt plastics and produces useless materials, PETase Plus operates under mild conditions. By degrading PET’s molecular bonds, it breaks down plastics into base components that can be re-integrated into high-quality products or even biofuels. According to Dr. Liam Harper, lead author of the study, “This method cuts energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 80%, offering industries a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.” However, critics caution against unchecked optimism. While PETase Plus excels in controlled lab environments, applying it for industrial or environmental use risks unintended ecological harm. Dr. Emily Carter, a biochemist, warns, “Engineered enzymes released into landfills or oceans might also degrade natural polymers, destabilizing soil structures or marine ecosystems. Without proper restrictions, the solution to plastic waste could become an ecological disaster.” Ethical conflicts further complicate its adoption. Environmental advocates insist plastic manufacturers — responsible for 70% of global PET production — should fund large-scale application of the technology. However, industry leaders argue that governments must provide financial support to encourage innovation. Meanwhile, developing nations, where waste management system is underdeveloped, view PETase Plus as a potential lifeline, though fears spread that wealthy countries might not share the technology. As research advances, PETase Plus is facing a challenge: a scientific success shadowed by ethical and ecological dilemmas. Its success relies not merely on biochemical efficiency but on multi-party cooperation to balance innovation with caring for our planet. 11. According to paragraph 2, what is one advantage of PETase Plus over traditional recycling methods? A. It produces biofuels straight from plastic waste. B. It functions effectively at relatively low temperatures. C. It removes the need for industrial funding. D. It reduces the cost by 60%. 12. What concern do critics emphasize about PETase Plus? A. Its funding resource is still not clear. B. It may disturb natural ecosystems. C. It requires expensive lab equipment. D. Its mechanism is not yet understood. 13. Why does the author quote Dr. Emily Carter? A. To stress the necessity for ecological regulations. B. To question the enzyme’s degradation efficiency. C. To advocate for industry-led innovation. D. To highlight the technical limitations of PETase Plus. 14. What can be a possible result of the future application of PETase Plus? A. Developing nations will reject the technology due to high costs. B. Ethical conflicts might prevent its widespread application. C. Governments will cease funding traditional recycling. D Ecological risks will be removed. 【答案】11. B 12. B 13. A 14. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。在全球塑料污染日益严重的情况下，研究人员设计出了一种生物工程酶——PETase Plus，它能比天然酶降解PET聚合物快90%。文章对这项新技术进行了详细介绍。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Unlike conventional recycling, which demands energy-intensive processes (exceeding 250℃) to melt plastics and produces useless materials, PETase Plus operates under mild conditions.(传统的回收需要能源密集型过程（超过250℃）来熔化塑料并产生无用的材料，而PETase Plus在温和的条件下运行。)”和“According to Dr. Liam Harper, lead author of the study, “This method cuts energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 80%, offering industries a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.”(该研究的主要作者利亚姆·哈珀博士说：“这种方法可以减少60%的能源消耗和80%的碳排放，为工业提供了一种具有成本效益和环保的传统方法替代方案。”)”可知，PETase Plus相对于传统回收方法的一个优势是它在相对较低的温度下有效地发挥作用。故选B。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“However, critics caution against unchecked optimism. While PETase Plus excels in controlled lab environments, applying it for industrial or environmental use risks unintended ecological harm.(然而，批评人士警告不要盲目乐观。虽然PETase Plus在受控的实验室环境中表现出色，但将其应用于工业或环境使用可能会带来意想不到的生态危害。)”可知，批评人士对PETase Plus强调了它可能会扰乱自然生态系统的担忧。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“Without proper restrictions, the solution to plastic waste could become an ecological disaster.(如果没有适当的限制，塑料垃圾的解决方案可能会成为一场生态灾难。)”可知，作者引用艾米丽·卡特医生的话是为了强调生态规制的必要性。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒第二段第一句“Ethical conflicts further complicate its adoption.(伦理冲突进一步使其采用复杂化。)”可知，未来应用PETase Plus可能会面临伦理冲突阻止它的广泛应用的结果。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anxiety does not cause bad results in exams. Yet it is the preparing periods that do. ___15___. The silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the sharp eyes of the teacher; the proud expression of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. Therefore, it seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. What is, perhaps, surprising, according to research published recently in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald at the Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall that causes the problem. ___16___. Dr. Theobald once supposed that if anxiety was truly affecting a student’s ability to transfer known information from brain to paper via pen, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock (模拟的) exam. ___17___. Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict the performance was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam. ___18___, regardless of how anxious they were on the day. What actually influenced students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period. ___19___. To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can decrease the significance of the test in their hearts. A. All people do not like exams B. Instead, it is the pressure of revision C. The findings of the research support such a view D. Those who performed well in it also did well in the real thing E. Exams are anxiety-causing, especially for those who are easy to get anxious F. However, what Dr. Theobald found in the research was not what she expected G. This is a positive discovery, suggesting a change of approach might help improve their results 【答案】15. E 16. B 17. F 18. D 19. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了考试焦虑对成绩的影响。研究发现，考试当天的焦虑并不会直接影响成绩，而考试前几周的高焦虑水平才是导致成绩下降的关键因素。 【15题详解】 根据下文“The silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the sharp eyes of the teacher... (大厅里一片寂静；时钟的滴答声；老师锐利的眼睛)”以及“Therefore, it seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. (因此，那些担心参加考试的人比那些不担心的人表现得更差，这似乎并不奇怪)”可推知，此处指考试环境容易引发焦虑，尤其是对容易焦虑的人。选项E“考试会引起焦虑，尤其是对容易焦虑的人”直接点明主题，引出后文对考场压力的具体描写。故选E。 【16题详解】 根据上文“is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall (导致问题的不是考场的压力)”指出焦虑原因并非来自考场压力，后文需转折说明真正原因。选项B“相反，是准备阶段的压力”符合语境，其中的“instead”与上文形成对比，符合上下文逻辑。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Dr. Theobald once supposed that if anxiety was truly affecting a student’s ability to transfer known information from brain to paper via pen, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock exam. (Theobald博士曾认为，如果焦虑真的影响了学生通过笔将已知信息从大脑转移到纸上的能力，那么那些焦虑程度高的学生在真实考试中的表现会比在模拟考试中差)”以及下文“Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. (考试当天的焦虑完全不影响成绩)”可知，选项承接上下文，说明研究结果与假设不符。选项F“然而，Theobald博士的研究发现与她预期不符”承上启下，符合文意。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“What did predict the performance was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam. (真正能预测成绩的是模拟考试中展现的知识水平)”及下文“regardless of how anxious they were on the day (无论考试当天多焦虑)”可知，模拟考表现好的人实际考试也会好。选项D“模拟考表现好的人实际考试也表现好”承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文“The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period. (学生在考试前几天的焦虑越高，在这段时间内获得的知识就越少)”指出考前焦虑影响知识积累，下文“To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students. (为了减轻这种焦虑，她为学生提出了一个两阶段策略)”提出应对策略，可推知，这一发现具有实用性与积极意义。选项G“这一积极发现表明调整方法可能改善结果”总结研究意义，并过渡到解决方案。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15个小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At one night in July 2020 in Reykjavik, Halli was wandering around the city’s main street with his wife and two kids.

He promised to do it when he got back from Kim's house. However, I demanded that he not leave the house until he finished writing a note to everyone he came in contact with during the job interview. “Even the receptionist who was rude to me?” Jon asked with a confused expression. “Especially her!” Jon was home on Christmas break from college and had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply. The power of a thank-you note is something I drilled into my boy from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. It didn't matter if it was for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. Every gift had to be acknowledged with sincere gratitude within twenty-four hours. Growing up, my mom was a stickler for thank-you notes. But she phrased it in such a way that it came across not as a threat but as a privilege. She'd say, “Your words of sincere gratitude have the power to change someone's life for the better—even if it's just for a moment.” Her advice changed my life, and it was my hope that it would change Jon's life as well. After an hour, Jon emerged from his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt, even the one to the receptionist who had been less than friendly. Before Jon left to visit Kim, he turned to me and announced that he was pretty sure a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist wasn't going to land him the job. With a smile, I told him to wait and see. Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn't want him living in our basement for the rest of his life! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 A week later, Jon received a call from the company. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A week later, Jon received a call from the company. Shifting uneasily in his chair, he picked up the phone. “Yes, this is Jon,” he said, trying to keep his voice steady. I watched him, my heart pounding. As he continued to speak, his face lit up with an excited smile. When he hung up the phone, he turned to me, eyes shining. He told me that they were really impressed with his interview, but what really stood out were the thank-you notes. The CEO mentioned that he was touched by the notes and appreciated the effort Jon put into thanking everyone, including the receptionist. I felt a rush of pride and relief. I knew it would work. The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. Surprised, I picked it up, unfolded it, and was greeted with Jon’s familiar handwriting. It was a thank-you note from Jon. He thanked me for pushing him to do his best and for teaching him the importance of gratitude, which had truly changed his life. As I read the note, tears welled up in my eyes. I had always believed in the power of gratitude and a thank-you note, but seeing it come full circle like this was more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Jon was not only succeeding in his career but also growing into a thoughtful and compassionate man. And that was the greatest gift of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位母亲教导儿子乔恩写感谢信的重要性，并如何通过实践影响了儿子的生活。母亲强调写感谢信的力量，不仅是对他人的尊重和感激，也是个人成长和成功的关键。乔恩在面试后写了感谢信，这些信最终帮助他在求职过程中获得了优势。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周后，乔恩接到了公司的电话。”可知，第一段可描写电话的内容——面试官对乔恩印象深刻是因为他的感谢信，同时描述乔恩收到电话后的情绪澎湃，作者感到自豪和宽慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天下班后，我在床头柜上发现了一张感谢信。”可知，第二段可描写作者在床头柜上发现了儿子乔恩给她写的感谢信，描述感谢信的内容以及作者的情绪和感悟。 2.续写线索： 乔恩接到面试公司电话——转述电话内容给作者——面试官因为感谢信对乔恩印象深刻——乔恩面试成功——作者发现床头柜下乔恩写给自己的感谢信——介绍信件中的内容——作者最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挪动：shift/move ②提及：mention/refer to ③打开：unfold/open 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/exhilarated ②感到骄傲：feel a rush of pride/feel extremely proud 【点睛】[高分句型1].  When he hung up the phone, he turned to me, eyes shining.（句中含有when引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构） [高分句型2].
