B On the first night of the new moon,I stand beneath an inky expanse of sky at a Northern California campsite.The darkness is so profound that my outstretched hand vanishes before my eyes_It's not just an absence of light I'm experiencing:the darkness feels tangible,with a weight and texture of its own. The most well-known benefit of the darkness is the role it plays in releasing melatonin )This critical hormone doesn't just help us sleep,but can also reduce DNA damage by boosting the body's own genetic repair machinery.Evidence also reveals that the magic we feel in the darkness is closely associated with better mental health. My own fascination with the dark began in October of 2022,when I found myself floating in a raft( in the Arctic Sea.Our expedition guide had motored our rubber raft away from the artificial lights of our larger ship,turned the outer engine off,and instructed us to be silent.My shipmates and I looked up into the enormous night sky as stars moved in the black space above.The darkness was so dense that I couldn't tell up from down,or where the night sky ended,and the inky sea began. I felt a surge of positive feelings flowing through me as I gazed at the stars on that dark Arctic night. 高二英语学科试题第3页（共10页） The experience changed my relationship to darkness.As someone who'd always enjoyed the idea of going to bed early to get a good night's sleep,I decided to turn off artificial lights and electronic devices earlier in the evening.I also began wondering what"dose"of dark each night was ideal for my health. Artists,poets and songwriters have long understood our fear of the dark as well as the comfort it can bring us.For me,it's the Simon Garfunkel hit song,The Sound of Silence-which starts off with the line "Hello darkness,my old friend"-that captures the essence of why escaping the light is necessary at times. it reminds us that some of our most profound moments of healing and insight happen in the dark. 24.Which of the following statements about darkness is NOT TRUE? A.It can better our sleep quality. B.It can improve our mental health. C.It can protect us from DNA damage. D It can change our damaged genes. 25.What does the Arctic experience show about the author? A.He initially feared total darkness. B.He discovered a new scientific phenomenon. C.He regretted joining the expedition. D.His perception of darkness shifted greatly. 26.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.We should escape the light all the time. B.Artists,poets and songwriters fear darkness. C.Darkness brings some beautiful moments to us. D.The Sound of Silence captures the essence of light. 27.Which can be the best title of the passage? A.My Arctic Adventure:A Night Under the Stars B Beyond Fear:The Unseen Benefits of Darkness C.Art and Science:How Darkness Heals Us D.Melatonin:Nature's Repair Mechanism C Are you a short video app user?Chances are that you're more familiar with 15-second sped-up clips of songs than with the original tracks themselves.This trend has been evident on social media platforms, notably Douyin and TikTok,where creators boost the rhythm by 25-30 percent to match short viral videos featuring dances or other themes. These altered versions have even pushed some musicians to the top of official singles charts.As a Radio I Anthems host told the BBC,although sped-up versions of songs can help artists go viral,that initial success may not last This isn't just about music.Social media users also accelerate podcasts,movies,etc. for quicker consumption.The sped-up mode provides a faster way to achieve the dopamine (rush that social media aims to spark,leading to addiction and influencing our actions. While it seems efficient,speeding up content has significant drawbacks."So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing,lighting,timing and music,and speeding that all up just ruins it,"a Reddit user commented.Another user also mentioned that if someone consumes content this way, their viewpoint of the movie or the song is not valid. It seems that people speed up content not because they enjoy movies and songs but rather simply to complete the action of "watching"and "listening".It's as if they're telling the creators:"I don't have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle emotions you put into the work."All they want is a quick general idea of "what's going on"and a feeling of "wow,I just consumed another piece of information”, 高二英语学科试题第4页（共10页） Evidently,this approach weakens creators'efforts and erodes people's patience.However,people often fail to realize that this also destroys their patience with life.Beginning with sped-up songs and movies,it gradually creeps into daily life.A Chinese netizen once shared,"I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test,"highlighting how this habit extends to longer-term tasks. We already live in a fast-paced society,yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect.What's the rush? Some things should not be sped up,like our patience for beauty and hard work. 28.What might be a possible result of sped-up song versions on social media? A.They boost the popularity of original songs. B.They decrease the consumption of short videos. C.They lead musicians to top official singles charts. D.They help musicians maintain long-term success. 29.From Reddit users'perspectives,what impact does speeding up content have? A.It reduces audience's appreciation level of art. B.It enhances the dopamine rush for better mood. C.It offers a more effective way to grasp the content. D.It damages media's works and devalues consumers'views. 30.What does the underlined word"erodes"mean in Paragraph 5? A.Tests out. B.Uses up. C.Wears away. D Calls for. 31.What is the author's attitude towards the trend of speeding up content on social media? A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Objective. D.Ambiguous. D For more than 20 years,NASA instruments in space have tracked a growing imbalance in Earth's solar energy budget,with more energy entering than leaving the planet.Much of that imbalance can be pinned on humanity's emissions of greenhouse gases,which trap heat in the atmosphere.But explaining the rest has been a challenge."Nobody can get a number that's even close,"says George Tselioudis,a climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. But Tselioudis and his team now explain the gap with data from a long-lived satellite,finding the world's reflective cloud cover has shrunk,boosting global warming.Climate scientists need to figure out the causes of these cloud changes and whether the trend will accelerate warming in the future. Clouds come in all shapes and sizes,but two of the most consistent cloud bands are formed by Earth's large-scale airflow patterns.One band,near the equator,stretches around the planet like a belt.It forms as trade winds (of the Northern and Southern hemispheres meet,forcing moist air upward to cool and turn into clouds.Another band occurs in the midlatitudes ()where jet streams bring stormy weather around the planet. In August 2024,Tselioudis and his coauthors reported that over the 35 years covered by weather satellite imagery,the equatorial ()cloud bands had narrowed,while the tracks of midlatitude storms had shifted toward the poles,limiting the region in which they can form and shrinking their coverage.But the result,published in Climate Dynamics,was pieced together from many different satellites,each with its own features and errors,which made the researchers unsure whether the small trends they detected were real. 高二英语学科试题第5页（共10页） The same models that predict a narrowing of the equatorial storm belt also suggest climate change will cause air over the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm faster than the west,weakening an important branch of the large-scale circulation.But for the past few decades,the eastern Pacific has actually been cooling, strengthening these winds instead.Other observations,meanwhile,suggest the rest of the circulation is weakening.The confusion makes it hard to know whether the cloud bands will continue to shrink as the world warms. 32.What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss? A.Two global cloud bands and their formation processes. B.How different latitudes affect cloud shapes and sizes. C.The connection between weather and cloud formations. D.The role of earth's atmosphere in creating cloud patterns. 33.What does"pieced together"in Paragraph 4 convey? A.The equatorial cloud seemed isolated. B.The research data may lack reliability. C.The research originated from joint efforts. D.The observation used advanced techniques. 34.Which phenomenon contradicts climate models'predictions? A.The expansion of the cloud bands. B.The strengthening of trade winds. C.The cooling of the eastern Pacific. D.The weakening of the circulation. 35.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage? A.To explain how greenhouse gases influence global warming. B.To show the importance of satellite imagery in climate research. C.To present the potential impact of global solar energy imbalance D.To introduce a new possible reason for Earth's energy imbalance. 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。 Helping people in need is a great way to make the world a better place.From the smallest acts of kindness to global humanitarian efforts,there are numerous ways in which you can help out your fellow humans. Donate money or supplies to an organization. Making a donation is one of the easiest and most effective ways to help others.36 You may even have some unused items sitting around your home that could go to someone in need,like your unneeded furniture and clothing.

Before COVID(新冠肺炎)，there had been more money to spend and life had been normal..Dad had bought us a backboard and hoop (and had paid someone to install a tall metal pole on the side of the driveway so we could have our own basketball court. We came pretty close to spending as much of the day as we could on the court.We practiced all sorts of shots,holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket.It felt like 高二英语学科试愿第9页（共10页） magic-all the problems of the world seemed to fade away-and I felt like I was the magician making the magic happen each time I arced the ball (toward the basket and watched it fly toward its destination.

I heard the familiar engine clunk-clunking-click.It was earlier than when Dad usually arrived home. "Hi guys!"Dad said as he got off the car.His shoulders sank heavily,and he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.He stood a moment by the side of the car to stretch his arms and catch his breath,and for a moment he closed his eyes.In that moment his face was caught in the fading rays of the sun,and the light revealed a lot more wrinkles than I remembered.He might have thought of himself as a magician with water,but he couldn't make these worry lines on his forehead or the new wrinkles around his eyes disappear. 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。 Para 1 "Want to shoot a few hoops,Dad?"I asked,thinking it might cheer him up.
