B The day my son Nick was born, losing a child became my biggest fear. When you love someone that vastly, the idea of them no longer being in your world is unbearable. Eighteen years and two months after that day, I was suddenly forced to face that fear. Had it not been for my fifteen-year-old daughter, Anna, I wouldn’t have made it past the first few weeks. That’s when my 15-year-old daughter Anna sat beside me, her hands trembling. “Mom,” she whispered, “can someone really die of a broken heart?” Her question sliced through the fog of my sadness. I suddenly realized something. At Nick’s memorial service, my friend Julia, an artist, handed me a box filled with glue, torn magazine pages, paint, and ribbons. “You need to create,” she said firmly. At first, I didn’t understand. But that night, I spread the materials on the kitchen table. I tore paper violently, burned edges with a candle, and splattered red paint like bloodstains. It wasn’t pretty, but it felt true. Months later, I found Nick’s playlist. A song called Beloved caught my heart. Its lyrics about love and loss inspired me to paint again. The first painting was all black and white—bare trees under heavy snow. It felt like my soul. But slowly, color crept in. In the second painting, a tiny yellow butterfly appeared in the gloom. The third showed a field with greener grass, the butterfly growing brighter. By the seventh painting, the butterfly had transformed into a phoenix (凤凰) with rainbow wings, rising into a golden sky. The series hangs on my living room wall, a constant reminder of the beginning of a process that will continue for the rest of my life. I still find myself creating art that reflects my grief. But, more and more often, I can paint images purely for enjoyment as the shadow fades and my life solidifies. And Anna no longer worries about losing me to a broken heart. Instead, she has become quite the artist herself and brightens my days even more with her own creations. 24. What might the author realize on hearing Anna’s question in paragraph 2? A. Nick died of a broken heart. B. Anna couldn’t afford to lose her mother. C. It was a heartbreak for Anna to lose her brother. D. Anna wasn’t satisfied with the status quo of the family. 25. Why did the author’s friend hand her a box? A. The author was known for her potential for creating. B. Her friend hoped the author could get through the dark times. C. The box would serve as a reminder of a friend’s love and care. D. Creating was useful for the author to withdraw from the reality. 26. What can be learned from the seven paintings? A. The author came to understand the recipe of painting. B. The author gradually realized her potential as a painter. C The author eventually understood her friend’s intention. D. The author slowly healed herself in the process of creating. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Enjoying the Very Moment B. Reborn From the Past Memories C. Surviving Beyond the Shadow D. Creating a New Life Perspective C Many people assume mothers are the main contact for kids, even when dads are available. Schools, doctors, and others often call moms first, interrupting their work or personal time. Research shows this isn’t just a feeling — it’s backed by data. A few years ago, Kristy Buzard, an economist at Syracuse University, and her colleagues posed as fictitious (虚假的) parents and emailed more than 80,000 school principals, saying they were searching for a school for their child and asking for a call back. The researchers found that the principals were 40 percent more likely to call the pretend mothers back than the pretend fathers. Part of the reason, Buzard posited, is “this core belief that moms are more available and are going to be more responsive.” Katy Milkman, a behavioral economist, thought this reflected deep-rooted stereotypes (刻板印象) about mothers as caregivers. “People jump to conclusions without thinking,” said Milkman. Outdated technology also plays a role. Schools and doctors’ offices often use old software that can’t update contact details easily. For example, if a dad becomes the main caregiver after a mom returns to work, systems might still default (默认) to her number. Jen Shu, a physicist, explained, “Our systems aren’t smart enough to switch priorities.” While many moms are the primary contact, treating them as the default when they don’t want to be adds stress. Unwanted calls interrupt their jobs, and passing tasks to dads isn’t always simple. One survey found moms are 30% more likely than dads to consider asking their partner for help is “troublesome” because they still end up managing the task. Dads face frustration too. When schools or doctors ignore their role, it creates extra steps. One father, Rauzon, manages his son’s asthma (哮喘) care but gets left out of calls. Another dad, Estes, works from home but day care contacts his office-working wife when their son is sick. “People assume dads are just there for decoration,” he said. The problem isn’t just unfair — it hurts families. Many dads want to share parenting duties, and families function better when they do. As one researcher put it, “It’s time for everyone else to catch on.” 28. Why does the author mention Kristy’s research? A. To explain a complex social issue. B. To support a common assumption. C. To clarify the different roles in families. D. To present a strange social phenomenon. 29. What can’t account for the fact that mothers are usually first contacted about kids’ problems? A. Moms are seen as more responsive. B. Moms are generally considered freer. C. Fathers are more likely to avoid their duties. D. Outdated systems struggle to update contact details. 30. What can be learned from the 5th and 6th paragraphs? A. Most moms embrace help from their partner. B. Some dads feel upset when their role is ignored. C. Many moms think it is a burden to care about kids. D. In most families, dads are just there for decoration. 31. What is most likely to be talked about in the next paragraph? A. The key to making families function better. B. The significance of bringing up kids for parents. C. The method to free moms from the unneeded calls. D. The approaches to involving dads in parenting duties. D Recent research suggests that using digital devices like smartphones and tablets might actually help protect brain function in older adults rather than harm it. A review of 57 studies involving over 400,000 people aged 50 and older found that those who regularly used technology showed slower mental decline compared to those who used it less. These findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenge concerns that screen time causes “digital dementia”. Scientists analyzed data from adults worldwide, with an average age of 69, who had taken cognitive (认知的) tests or received memory-related tests. Results showed no proof 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 issues. However, researchers warn that the relationship isn’t fully understood. It’s possible that people with more incisive minds are more likely to use technology, but tech might also provide brain-boosting benefits. “We think the three Cs might be important: complexity, connection and compensatory (补偿的) behaviours,” Dr. Jared Benge told the Guardian. 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, he said. The technology also allowed people to compensate for cognitive decline and function more easily, for example by using GPS to find their way or setting reminders to pay bills or take medicines, he added. He also emphasized that how devices are used matters. Passive activities like watching shows may not help, but mentally stimulating tasks — learning new apps, researching topics, or staying socially connected — likely play a positive role. Sam Gilbert, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London, said the study showed “a clear link” between digital technology usage and preserved cognitive ability in older age. “The explanation for this link is still not fully clear: we cannot be sure whether technology usage itself preserves cognitive ability, whether preserved cognitive ability leads to more frequent use of technology, or — most likely — some combination of the two. Nevertheless, this work suggests that using digital technology can be good for brain health.” 32. What can you learn about “digital dementia”? A. It refers to technology-related memory or thinking problems. B. It shows the effect of digital devices on users’ physical health. C. It implies slower mental decline by using technology regularly. D. It describes a special phenomenon of employing digital devices. 33. What does the underline word “incisive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Brilliant. B. Sharp. C. Optimistic. D. Suspicious. 34. According to Jared Benge, why does using digital devices benefit the elderly? A. It can free them from their social contacts. B. Digital devices usage can rid them of complex activities. C. Using digital devices to learn new skills can stimulate their minds. D. Digital devices usage can boost their brain function to a higher level. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Using digital device is a necessity to brain development. B. Preserved cognitive ability leads to using digital devices. C. Technology usage protects brain function and cognitive ability. D. More research is needed to further explain the research findings. 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。 The measurement most often used to assess a good night’s sleep is the number of hours of shuteye we get. And of course, getting plenty of sleep is definitely important. ____36____ That’s according to a new study published in the journal Sleep. ____37____ Even people who manage to sleep consistently for seven to eight hours each night, but who keep irregular schedules, are at a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks and cancer than those who slept fewer hours, but maintained a more consistent schedule. ____38____ The findings of the study show that those who got under six hours of sleep, or over nine, each night were at an increased risk, too. Researchers analyzed sleep data from almost 61,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database tracking the health of half a million people in the UK. ____39____ Using advanced algorithms (算法) to study sleep patterns and tracking people’s death rates over an average of 6.3 years, they identified the factors linked to a higher risk of early death. Overall, the people who had the most consistent sleep-wake times had up to a 48-per-cent lower risk of all-cause death compared to those with the least consistent routines. ____40____ Given the risks, they believe advice should focus not just on getting enough sleep, but on maintaining a regular schedule for better overall health. A. They put forward a sleep pattern for these people to follow. B. However, we should pay more attention to our sleep routine. C. In total, they examined more than 10 million hours of recorded sleep. D. Now, this doesn’t mean you need to sleep only a few hours every night. E. It suggests that one’s sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of death risk. F It questions whether one gets plenty of sleep is closely related to his health. G. The researchers hope these findings will help update public health guidelines. 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。 Earl Guynes had always believed that his 1997 Chevrolet Camaro was more than just a car — it was a symbol of his ____41____.

Though she was small and thin, she loved helping with housework, especially feeding the horses in their big barn (畜棚). One side of the barn housed the horse stalls (马厩), while the other side was piled with hay bales (干草捆) for feeding. One afternoon, Callie went into the barn to feed the horses. As she walked towards the tall stacks of hay, she suddenly stopped. A tiny, weak sound came through the dusty air. Meow... meow...  Her heart jumped. A kitten must be trapped in the hay! Breathing hard, she ran back to find Ben and her father. “Dad! Ben! Come quick! A kitten is stuck in the hay!” she called urgently. Ben sighed, putting down his tools. Her father looked doubtful. “Probably just the wind, Callie,” he said gently. But they followed her to the barn. They stood quietly near the hay stacks, listening. The barn was silent. “Hear anything?” Ben asked. Their father shook his head. “Nothing, sweetheart. Maybe it was just a mouse. Don’t worry about it.” Disappointed, Callie watched them leave. After dinner, Callie slipped back to the barn, determined. She stood still, listening attentively. And there it was again! Meow... meow... Weaker now, but clear. She raced back to the house. Her father was watching TV. “Dad, please!” she pleaded (恳求). “I heard it again! It is a kitten! Please, just come check one more time?” He looked unwilling but saw the real worry in her eyes. “Alright, alright, one last look.” He returned a few minutes later. “Callie, I listened hard. All I heard was an owl outside. No kitten. Try not to worry.” He gave her a tired smile. “Thanks for checking, Dad.” Callie whispered, though she still felt uneasy. 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。 That night, Callie woke up suddenly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年第二学期六校联合体期末考试 高二英语 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） 请听下面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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man going to do next?

In recent years, many weeds have grown in the cemetery. Officials do not want to use poisons to kill the weeds. The cemetery is near the Anacostia River. Lauren Maloy is the program director in the cemetery. “Because it is close to the river, we are always looking for ways to make sure that things are sustainable — we are not using poisons that might hurt the environment.” She said. So cemetery officials have decided to use goats. The animals are less costly than chemicals and do not hurt the environment. The animals are owned by Mary Bowen. The cemetery pays her company $11,000 to have the goats remove unwanted plants from each spot of the cemetery. Mary Bowen says that is about half the cost of using poisons. An electronic fence keeps the goats from leaving the cemetery. She hopes that the goats will help more people understand that they can keep their property free of weeds without hurting the environment. 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 Welcome to California.

When you love someone that vastly, the idea of them no longer being in your world is unbearable. Eighteen years and two months after that day, I was suddenly forced to face that fear. Had it not been for my fifteen-year-old daughter, Anna, I wouldn’t have made it past the first few weeks. That’s when my 15-year-old daughter Anna sat beside me, her hands trembling. “Mom,” she whispered, “can someone really die of a broken heart?” Her question sliced through the fog of my sadness. I suddenly realized something. At Nick’s memorial service, my friend Julia, an artist, handed me a box filled with glue, torn magazine pages, paint, and ribbons. “You need to create,” she said firmly. At first, I didn’t understand. But that night, I spread the materials on the kitchen table. I tore paper violently, burned edges with a candle, and splattered red paint like bloodstains. It wasn’t pretty, but it felt true. Months later, I found Nick’s playlist. A song called Beloved caught my heart. Its lyrics about love and loss inspired me to paint again. The first painting was all black and white—bare trees under heavy snow. It felt like my soul. But slowly, color crept in. In the second painting, a tiny yellow butterfly appeared in the gloom. The third showed a field with greener grass, the butterfly growing brighter. By the seventh painting, the butterfly had transformed into a phoenix (凤凰) with rainbow wings, rising into a golden sky. The series hangs on my living room wall, a constant reminder of the beginning of a process that will continue for the rest of my life. I still find myself creating art that reflects my grief. But, more and more often, I can paint images purely for enjoyment as the shadow fades and my life solidifies. And Anna no longer worries about losing me to a broken heart. Instead, she has become quite the artist herself and brightens my days even more with her own creations. 24. What might the author realize on hearing Anna’s question in paragraph 2? A. Nick died of a broken heart. B. Anna couldn’t afford to lose her mother. C. It was a heartbreak for Anna to lose her brother. D. Anna wasn’t satisfied with the status quo of the family. 25. Why did the author’s friend hand her a box? A. The author was known for her potential for creating. B. Her friend hoped the author could get through the dark times. C. The box would serve as a reminder of a friend’s love and care. D. Creating was useful for the author to withdraw from the reality. 26. What can be learned from the seven paintings? A. The author came to understand the recipe of painting. B. The author gradually realized her potential as a painter. C. The author eventually understood her friend’s intention. D. The author slowly healed herself in the process of creating. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Enjoying the Very Moment B. Reborn From the Past Memories C. Surviving Beyond the Shadow D. Creating a New Life Perspective 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在失去儿子后陷入悲痛，在女儿的陪伴和朋友的启发下，通过艺术创作逐渐走出阴影、治愈心灵的过程。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Mom,” she whispered, “can someone really die of a broken heart?” Her question sliced through the fog of my sadness. I suddenly realized something.(“妈妈，”她轻声问道，“真的有人会因心碎而死吗？”她的问题穿透了我悲伤的迷雾。我突然意识到了什么)”可知，女儿担心母亲会因心碎而离世，作者从女儿的问题中意识到女儿无法承受失去母亲的痛苦，担心自己的状态会让女儿失去依靠。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At Nick’s memorial service, my friend Julia, an artist, handed me a box filled with glue, torn magazine pages, paint, and ribbons. “You need to create,” she said firmly. (在尼克的追悼会上，我的艺术家朋友朱莉娅递给我一个盒子，里面装着胶水、撕碎的杂志页、颜料和缎带。“你需要进行创作”，她坚定地说)”可知，朋友递给作者装有创作材料的盒子，鼓励她通过创作来疏导情绪，帮助她度过失去儿子的黑暗时期。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The first painting was all black and white—bare trees under heavy snow. It felt like my soul. But slowly, color crept in. In the second painting, a tiny yellow butterfly appeared in the gloom. The third showed a field with greener grass, the butterfly growing brighter. By the seventh painting, the butterfly had transformed into a phoenix with rainbow wings, rising into a golden sky. (第一幅画全是黑白色调——大雪压着光秃秃的树木，那感觉就像我的灵魂。但色彩渐渐渗入画面。第二幅画里，一只黄色的小蝴蝶出现在阴暗中。第三幅画展现了一片绿草如茵的田野，蝴蝶也变得更加明亮。到了第七幅画，蝴蝶已化身为一只长着彩虹翅膀的凤凰，朝着金色的天空飞去)”可知，七幅画的色彩从黑白逐渐变得明亮，意象从压抑的雪景转变为象征重生的凤凰，体现出作者在创作过程中逐渐从悲痛中恢复，心灵得到治愈。故选D项。 27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When you love someone that vastly, the idea of them no longer being in your world is unbearable. Eighteen years and two months after that day, I was suddenly forced to face that fear. (当你如此深爱着一个人时，一想到他们不再存在于你的世界里，就令人无法承受。在那天之后的 18 年零两个月，我突然被迫直面这种恐惧)”以及全文内容可知，文章围绕作者在失去儿子后的悲痛经历展开，讲述了她如何通过艺术创作超越阴影、重新面对生活。C选项“在阴影之外坚强生活”，既概括了作者走出悲痛的过程，又体现了文章的核心主题。故选C项。 C Many people assume mothers are the main contact for kids, even when dads are available. Schools, doctors, and others often call moms first, interrupting their work or personal time. Research shows this isn’t just a feeling — it’s backed by data. A few years ago, Kristy Buzard, an economist at Syracuse University, and her colleagues posed as fictitious (虚假的) parents and emailed more than 80,000 school principals, saying they were searching for a school for their child and asking for a call back. The researchers found that the principals were 40 percent more likely to call the pretend mothers back than the pretend fathers. Part of the reason, Buzard posited, is “this core belief that moms are more available and are going to be more responsive.” Katy Milkman, a behavioral economist, thought this reflected deep-rooted stereotypes (刻板印象) about mothers as caregivers. “People jump to conclusions without thinking,” said Milkman. Outdated technology also plays a role. Schools and doctors’ offices often use old software that can’t update contact details easily. For example, if a dad becomes the main caregiver after a mom returns to work, systems might still default (默认) to her number. Jen Shu, a physicist, explained, “Our systems aren’t smart enough to switch priorities.” While many moms are the primary contact, treating them as the default when they don’t want to be adds stress. Unwanted calls interrupt their jobs, and passing tasks to dads isn’t always simple. One survey found moms are 30% more likely than dads to consider asking their partner for help is “troublesome” because they still end up managing the task. Dads face frustration too. When schools or doctors ignore their role, it creates extra steps. One father, Rauzon, manages his son’s asthma (哮喘) care but gets left out of calls. Another dad, Estes, works from home but day care contacts his office-working wife when their son is sick. “People assume dads are just there for decoration,” he said. The problem isn’t just unfair — it hurts families. Many dads want to share parenting duties, and families function better when they do. As one researcher put it, “It’s time for everyone else to catch on.” 28. Why does the author mention Kristy’s research? A. To explain a complex social issue. B. To support a common assumption. C. To clarify the different roles in families. D. To present a strange social phenomenon. 29. What can’t account for the fact that mothers are usually first contacted about kids’ problems? A. Moms are seen as more responsive. B. Moms are generally considered freer. C. Fathers are more likely to avoid their duties. D. Outdated systems struggle to update contact details. 30. What can be learned from the 5th and 6th paragraphs? A. Most moms embrace help from their partner. B. Some dads feel upset when their role is ignored. C. Many moms think it is a burden to care about kids. D. In most families, dads are just there for decoration. 31. What is most likely to be talked about in the next paragraph? A. The key to making families function better. B. The significance of bringing up kids for parents. C. The method to free moms from the unneeded calls. D. The approaches to involving dads in parenting duties. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了在孩子相关事务中母亲常被默认为首要联系人的现象，分析了其背后的原因以及带来的影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Many people assume mothers are the main contact for kids, even when dads are available. Schools, doctors, and others often call moms first, interrupting their work or personal time. Research shows this isn’t just a feeling — it’s backed by data.(许多人认为母亲是孩子的主要联系人，即使父亲在场也是如此。学校、医生和其他人经常先给妈妈打电话，打断了她们的工作或私人时间。研究表明，这不仅仅是一种感觉，而是有数据支持的。)”和第二段“A few years ago, Kristy Buzard, an economist at Syracuse University, and her colleagues posed as fictitious parents and emailed more than 80,000 school principals, saying they were searching for a school for their child and asking for a call back. The researchers found that the principals were 40 percent more likely to call the pretend mothers back than the pretend fathers.(几年前，锡拉丘兹大学的经济学家Kristy Buzard和她的同事假扮成虚构的父母，给8万多名校长发了电子邮件，说他们在为孩子寻找学校，并要求回电。研究人员发现，校长给假扮的母亲回电的可能性比给假扮的父亲回电的可能性高40%。)”可知，作者提到Kristy的研究是为了支持一个普遍的假设，即人们普遍认为母亲是孩子的主要联系人，即使父亲在场也是如此。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Part of the reason, Buzard posited, is “this core belief that moms are more available and are going to be more responsive”.(Buzard认为，部分原因是“人们普遍认为妈妈更有空，而且会更愿意回应”。)”可知，妈妈被认为更善于回应，妈妈通常被认为更自由，这是母亲通常是孩子问题的第一联系人的原因，故选项A、B正确；根据第四段“Outdated technology also plays a role. Schools and doctors’ offices often use old software that can’t update contact details easily. For example, if a dad becomes the main caregiver after a mom returns to work, systems might still default to her number.(过时的技术也起到了一定作用。学校和医生的办公室经常使用无法轻松更新联系信息的旧软件。例如，如果妈妈重返工作岗位后，爸爸成为主要照顾者，系统可能仍然默认她的号码。)”可知，过时的系统难以更新联系信息，这是母亲通常是孩子问题的第一联系人的原因，故选项D正确。文中并未提到父亲更有可能逃避他们的责任，故选项C错误。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Dads face frustration too. When schools or doctors ignore their role, it creates extra steps. One father, Rauzon, manages his son’s asthma care but gets left out of calls. Another dad, Estes, works from home but day care contacts his office-working wife when their son is sick. “People assume dads are just there for decoration,” he said.(爸爸们也会感到沮丧。当学校或医生忽视他们的角色时，就会产生额外的步骤。一位父亲Rauzon负责儿子的哮喘护理，但却被排除在电话之外。另一位父亲Estes在家工作，但当儿子生病时，日托中心联系的是他办公室工作的妻子。“人们认为爸爸只是装饰品”，他说。)”可知，一些爸爸在他们的角色被忽视时感到沮丧。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The problem isn’t just unfair — it hurts families. Many dads want to share parenting duties, and families function better when they do. As one researcher put it, “It’s time for everyone else to catch on”.(这个问题不仅仅是不公平的——它伤害了家庭。许多爸爸想分担育儿责任，当他们这样做时，家庭会运作得更好。正如一位研究人员所说，“是时候让其他人都跟上来了”。)”可知，最后一段强调了爸爸参与育儿责任的重要性，所以下一段最有可能讨论的是让爸爸参与育儿责任的方法，故选D项。 D Recent research suggests that using digital devices like smartphones and tablets might actually help protect brain function in older adults rather than harm it. A review of 57 studies involving over 400,000 people aged 50 and older found that those who regularly used technology showed slower mental decline compared to those who used it less. These findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenge concerns that screen time causes “digital dementia”. Scientists analyzed data from adults worldwide, with an average age of 69, who had taken cognitive (认知的) tests or received memory-related tests. Results showed no proof 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 issues. However, researchers warn that the relationship isn’t fully understood. It’s possible that people with more incisive minds are more likely to use technology, but tech might also provide brain-boosting benefits. “We think the three Cs might be important: complexity, connection and compensatory (补偿的) behaviours,” Dr. Jared Benge told the Guardian. 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, he said. The technology also allowed people to compensate for cognitive decline and function more easily, for example by using GPS to find their way or setting reminders to pay bills or take medicines, he added. He also emphasized that how devices are used matters. Passive activities like watching shows may not help, but mentally stimulating tasks — learning new apps, researching topics, or staying socially connected — likely play a positive role. Sam Gilbert, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London, said the study showed “a clear link” between digital technology usage and preserved cognitive ability in older age. “The explanation for this link is still not fully clear: we cannot be sure whether technology usage itself preserves cognitive ability, whether preserved cognitive ability leads to more frequent use of technology, or — most likely — some combination of the two. Nevertheless, this work suggests that using digital technology can be good for brain health.” 32. What can you learn about “digital dementia”? A. It refers to technology-related memory or thinking problems. B. It shows the effect of digital devices on users’ physical health. C. It implies slower mental decline by using technology regularly. D. It describes a special phenomenon of employing digital devices. 33. What does the underline word “incisive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Brilliant. B. Sharp. C. Optimistic. D. Suspicious. 34. According to Jared Benge, why does using digital devices benefit the elderly? A. It can free them from their social contacts. B. Digital devices usage can rid them of complex activities. C. Using digital devices to learn new skills can stimulate their minds. D. Digital devices usage can boost their brain function to a higher level. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Using digital device is a necessity to brain development. B. Preserved cognitive ability leads to using digital devices. C. Technology usage protects brain function and cognitive ability. D. More research is needed to further explain the research findings. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了使用智能手机和平板电脑等数字设备可能有助于保护老年人的大脑功能，而非损害它。研究挑战了关于屏幕时间导致“数字痴呆”的担忧，并分析了数字设备使用与认知能力保护之间的关系。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenge concerns that screen time causes ‘digital dementia’. (这些发表在《自然·人类行为》上的研究结果挑战了关于屏幕时间导致‘数字痴呆’的担忧)”可知，人们此前担忧屏幕时间会引发与数字设备相关的认知问题，由此可推知“digital dementia”指的是与科技相关的记忆或思维问题。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“It’s possible that people with more incisive minds are more likely to use technology, but tech might also provide brain-boosting benefits. (拥有更____头脑的人更可能使用科技产品，但科技也可能为大脑提供增强功能的益处)”并结合上下文语境可知，研究指出使用科技与认知能力存在关联，可推测此处指思维更“敏锐”的人更倾向于使用科技设备，incisive与sharp语义相近，意为“敏锐的”。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Passive activities like watching shows may not help, but mentally stimulating tasks—learning new apps, researching topics, or staying socially connected—likely play a positive role. (被动活动如看节目可能没有帮助，但刺激大脑的任务——学习新应用、研究主题或保持社交联系——可能起到积极作用)”可知，Jared Benge认为使用数字设备学习新技能可以刺激老年人的思维。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The explanation for this link is still not fully clear: we cannot be sure whether technology usage itself preserves cognitive ability, whether preserved cognitive ability leads to more frequent use of technology, or–most likely–some combination of the two. (这种关联的解释仍不完全明确：我们无法确定究竟是科技使用本身有助于保持认知能力，还是保持的认知能力导致更频繁地使用科技，亦或——最有可能的是——两者的某种结合)”可知，虽然研究显示了数字技术使用与认知能力保留之间的联系，但具体机制尚未完全明确，需要更多研究来进一步解释这一发现。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。 The measurement most often used to assess a good night’s sleep is the number of hours of shuteye we get. And of course, getting plenty of sleep is definitely important. ____36____ That’s according to a new study published in the journal Sleep. ____37____ Even people who manage to sleep consistently for seven to eight hours each night, but who keep irregular schedules, are at a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks and cancer than those who slept fewer hours, but maintained a more consistent schedule. ____38____ The findings of the study show that those who got under six hours of sleep, or over nine, each night were at an increased risk, too. Researchers analyzed sleep data from almost 61,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database tracking the health of half a million people in the UK. ____39____ Using advanced algorithms (算法) to study sleep patterns and tracking people’s death rates over an average of 6.3 years, they identified the factors linked to a higher risk of early death. Overall, the people who had the most consistent sleep-wake times had up to a 48-per-cent lower risk of all-cause death compared to those with the least consistent routines. ____40____ Given the risks, they believe advice should focus not just on getting enough sleep, but on maintaining a regular schedule for better overall health. A. They put forward a sleep pattern for these people to follow. B. However, we should pay more attention to our sleep routine. C. In total, they examined more than 10 million hours of recorded sleep. D. Now, this doesn’t mean you need to sleep only a few hours every night. E. It suggests that one’s sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of death risk. F. It questions whether one gets plenty of sleep is closely related to his health. G. The researchers hope these findings will help update public health guidelines. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. C 40.

Though she was small and thin, she loved helping with housework, especially feeding the horses in their big barn (畜棚). One side of the barn housed the horse stalls (马厩), while the other side was piled with hay bales (干草捆) for feeding. One afternoon, Callie went into the barn to feed the horses. As she walked towards the tall stacks of hay, she suddenly stopped. A tiny, weak sound came through the dusty air. Meow... meow...  Her heart jumped. A kitten must be trapped in the hay! Breathing hard, she ran back to find Ben and her father. “Dad! Ben! Come quick! A kitten is stuck in the hay!” she called urgently. Ben sighed, putting down his tools. Her father looked doubtful. “Probably just the wind, Callie,” he said gently. But they followed her to the barn. They stood quietly near the hay stacks, listening. The barn was silent. “Hear anything?” Ben asked. Their father shook his head. “Nothing, sweetheart. Maybe it was just a mouse. Don’t worry about it.” Disappointed, Callie watched them leave. After dinner, Callie slipped back to the barn, determined. She stood still, listening attentively. And there it was again! Meow... meow... Weaker now, but clear. She raced back to the house. Her father was watching TV. “Dad, please!” she pleaded (恳求). “I heard it again! It is a kitten! Please, just come check one more time?” He looked unwilling but saw the real worry in her eyes. “Alright, alright, one last look.” He returned a few minutes later. “Callie, I listened hard. All I heard was an owl outside. No kitten. Try not to worry.” He gave her a tired smile. “Thanks for checking, Dad.” Callie whispered, though she still felt uneasy. 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。 That night, Callie woke up suddenly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】That night, Callie woke up suddenly. The weak cries filled her mind. She couldn’t rest. Quietly, she put on her coat, took a flashlight and slipped out. Inside the barn, near the hay stacks, Callie held her breath, listening with full attention. Then, it came: Meow... meow... Her flashlight beam swept across the bales. There! Near the bottom of a tall stack, she spotted a tiny movement-a small patch of gray fur barely visible between two enormous bales. She rushed over and pushed the bales again, but they wouldn’t move. “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. She raced back home and quickly awoke Ben and their father. Seeing Callie’s worried face and absolute certainty, they both hurried with her back to the barn. Working together, Ben and their father carefully moved the heavy hay bales which Callie pointed at. Eventually, a narrow passage was revealed. There was a tiny gray kitten, its eyes wide with fright. Trembling and exhausted, it let out another pitiful meow. Carefully, Callie’s father reached in and gently held the little creature out. Callie’s heart swelled with relief and joy as she looked at the rescued kitten, safe and warm in her father’s large, gentle hands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述10岁女孩卡莉在农场畜棚听到干草堆里有小猫叫声，两次恳求父亲和哥哥查看遭疑，他们分别认为是风声、老鼠或猫头鹰，卡莉虽失望但仍坚信有小猫被困，内心不安。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“那天晚上，卡莉突然醒来。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：卡莉夜探谷仓，用手电筒发现干草堆底部有小灰猫，推干草捆却推不动。 ②由第二段首句内容“卡莉心想：‘我别无选择，只能找人帮忙！’”可以预测续写这段主要内容：卡莉叫醒父兄帮忙，三人挪开干草捆救出受惊小猫，卡莉见状欣慰喜悦。 2.续写线索：卡莉夜探谷仓——发现小灰猫——寻求父兄帮忙——救出受惊小猫——感到欣慰喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.休息：rest/take a rest ②.看见：spot/see ③.颤抖：tremble/ shake 情绪类 ①.担心的：worried/concerned ②.快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].
