B My wife works while I stay at home and take care of our two kids and Wendell, an energetic dog. He loved to run but had to settle for our kids’ slow walks until it hit me: I could build a dog wagon (拉车). A few days later, I transformed our old jogging stroller into a two-seat dog wagon with a screwdriver. Now when Wendell sees me pick up his harness (牵引带) I built from old leather belts, he races to the door, eager to pull the kids around the town at a pace that thrills us all. When I left my law career four years ago, it was a promise to my children: I may not be able to buy you as many things, but you will know your father. So when we noticed a few inches of water had frozen in a deserted lot, we grabbed our ice skates and made it our own private rink. When my 5-year-old daughter became obsessed with ancient Egypt, we turned pizza boxes into pyramids. When my 2-year-old son wanted to be RoboCop for Halloween, I made his costume from recycled bottles and pieced his mask together from an old bike helmet and a wash bucket. Creativity rubs off. Not long ago, my daughter asked me to build her a horse, and I made sure she was part of every step of the process that didn’t involve power tools. She helped build her wooden toy horse from start to finish — drawing the design, then painting the final coat. Something that previously existed only in her imagination became a toy she could ride. Every project we finish feels like the fulfillment of a promise — it’s not the things we create that matter but the time we spend creating things together. 24. Why did the author build a dog wagon? A. To improve his craft building skills. B. To meet the exercise need of his dog. C. To recycle the broken jogging stroller. D. To provide a safer transport for the children. 25. Which of the following best describes the author’s parenting style? A. Imaginative and hands-on. B. Traditional and safety-centered. C. Encouraging and play-based. D. Adventurous and talent-focused 26. What does the underlined sentence “Creativity rubs off." in the last paragraph mean? A. Creativity lies in imagination. B. Creativity calls for observation C. Creativity originates from daily life. D. Creativity spreads through interaction, 27. What does the text seem to advocate? A. Valuing quality family time with children. B. Replacing store-bought toys with DIY projects. C. Balancing a career with parenting responsibilities. D. Adapting available resources to meet family needs. C Ignacio Vasquez, a 20-year-old college student, spent a year saving money for tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour, only to find presale tickets priced at a minimum of $600 each and many at more than $l,000 — far beyond his budget. “The prices were just shockingly high.” Mr. Vasquez said and abandoned his plan. In recent years, concertgoers have paid eye-popping prices for tickets to see popular artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Oasis on tour. But Gen Z fans — those born between 1997 and 2012 — are paying much more for concert tickets than previous generations did when they were young adults. In 1996, the average ticket price for the top 100 tours was $25.8l, or about $52 adjusted for inflation(通货膨胀), according to data released by Pollstar, a trade publication that covers the live music industry, By 2024, average ticket prices had risen to $135.92. The live music industry has put today’s young adults in an impossibly expensive position. For Gen Z, spending on concerts can be budget breakers. In a survey published last year by Merge, a marketing agency, 86 percent Gen Z surveyed admitted overspending on live events. Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason. Another survey by AAA, the automobile owners group, and Bread Financial, a financial services company, found that Gen Z are willing to spend more and travel farther to attend live events than older generations are. Last year, Chricket Cho, 25, attended seven concerts in the United States and Canada. She spent $8,400 on tickets and travel for the shows. “I just feel like live music is something that makes me feel alive.” said Ms. Cho, an information technology auditor who ears about $100,000 annually. Ms. Cho said she didn’t have a price cap for buying concert tickets. But she said soaring ticket prices had made her reconsider going to concerts if the artists weren’t her “all-time favorites” like Ms. Swift or Bleachers. 28. Why does the author mention Ignacio Vasquez’s experience in the first paragraph? A. To show the high prices of concert tickets. B. To advise students against concert spending. C. To stress Beyoncé’s popularity among Gen Z fans. D. To illustrate the difficulty with concert ticket purchase. 29. What is the main reason for Gen Z’s overspending on concerts? A. They are affected by inflation. B. They are afraid of being left out. C They long to support their favourite stars. D. They view concerts as an essential part of life 30. What can be inferred about Chricket Cho? A. She can’t afford the high concert costs. B She regrets spending so much on concerts C. She has a spending limit on concert tickets D. She has become more selective about concerts. 31 Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Gen Z Save Money for Concert Costs B. Gen Z Beat Older Generations in Concert Love C. Sky-High Concert Prices Break Gen Z’s Budgets D Rocketing Ticket Prices Cool Gen Z’s passion for Concerts D We all pursue an ideal weight number for health and confidence, often using childhood memories, online calculators or BMI charts. However, Dr, Yoni Freedhoff warns these methods fail to consider individual differences. Our bodies change dramatically with age due to metabolism (新陈代谢) and lifestyle. For decades, Body Mass Index (BMI) dominated weight assessments. This simple height-weight calculation sorts people from underweight to overweight. Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30% of people classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles. Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI) focus on waist size instead of weight. “Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,” says D. Jay. Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease. However, even BRI has limitations — it can’t distinguish between fat types or account for medical conditions affecting belly size, such as digestive disorders. Doctors increasingly emphasize overall health markers over specific weights, “Instead of focusing on a ‘magic number,’ we examine blood pressure, cholesterol (胆固醇), sleep quality and energy levels,” notes Dr. Jay. For those with weight-related conditions, even 5-10% weight loss can significantly improve health. A 2023 study found patients who achieved modest weight reduction showed better health markers than those pursuing extreme weight loss. The healthiest weight, experts agree, isn’t found on charts but through sustainable habits, “When you eat nutritiously and stay active, your body finds its natural healthy weight,” advises Dr. Freedhoff. For some, medications or surgery may help, but the real goal is lifestyle change — not to achieve an ideal number on your scale. True health, after all, is measured not by a momentary reading on a scale, but by the daily choices that nourish both body and life. 32. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The limitations of BMI. B. The standards of weight measurement. C. The classification of health conditions. D. The health assessment of overweight people. 33. What is the main advantage of BRI? A. It clarifies different kinds of fat. B. It evaluates all types of body fat. C. It measures highly risky body fat. D. It identifies harmful chemicals in fat. 34. What is Dr. Jay’s suggestion for weight assessment? A. Stopping using BMI. B. Focusing on specific weights. C. Considering multiple health signs. D. Adopting rapid weight loss approaches. 35. What does the author think of people’s pursuing an ideal weight number? A. Reasonable. B. Practical. C. Dangerous. D. Unnecessary. 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。 People develop nicknames for all sorts of reasons. While some nicknames (绰号) are fun and friendly, others can be unkind or hurtful. ____36____ But don’t worry — with the right methods, dropping an unwanted nickname is entirely possible. Here are some easy steps to help you reclaim your real name and establish how you wish to be addressed. ____37____ Think back to when the nickname first started. Who initiated it? Was it meant to be friendly, funny, or a little mean? The context determines your approach. For example, if a loving family member gave the nickname, you might explain your feelings gently, but if classmates used it to tease you, you can be more direct about wanting it to stop. Express your preference clearly. If you want to be called by your real name, express this preference openly and firmly. ____38____ For example, instead of saying, “You know, I don't really like being called ‘Sparky’,” try something like, “I prefer to be called [Your Full Name] from now on.” Stick to your request. This is crucial. You’ll likely need to remind them of your preference many times, especially in the beginning. ____39____ Gently correct them each time. A simple, “Actually, please call me [Your Name],” delivered calmly but consistently, can be very effective. Set boundaries. ____40____ If someone keeps using the nickname after you’ve asked him or her not to, you might need to set clear limits. This could involve politely leaving the conversation or restating your preference. Dropping an unwanted nickname takes time and effort. With patience and persistence, people will learn to respect your preferred name. A. Trace the origin story. B. Challenge the nickname. C. This can help you start a nickname-free life. D. This way, people are more likely to take it seriously. E. Once a nickname sticks, it can be difficult to change F. Be clear about what you will and will not respond to. G. Don’t get discouraged if people make the mistake repeatedly. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题:每小题1分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sam had always felt invisible.

Since her mother passed away five years ago, he had shouldered the responsibility of raising her alone, working double shifts (班次) as a taxi driver to support his family. Their small apartment was always filled with an unspoken tension — the kind that comes from two people living together but never truly connecting, except that, each night, he’d leave a glass of warm milk on her desk with his usual “Don’t stay up too late.” One Saturday, while cleaning the store room, Lena came across an old shoebox. Driven by curiosity, she took it out and couldn’t wait to find out what was inside. When she opened it, a scent of old paper greeted her. Inside were many black-and-white photos from before she was born. One photo caught her eye — her young father kneeling in a sunny field, smiling happily as he took pictures with a camera. He looked so different from the tired man she knew now. That evening, as they sat across from each other at their usual silent dinner, Lena gathered her courage. “Dad,” she began hesitantly, “I found some old photos today...”, Her father’s fork froze mid-air. He quickly looked at her, then away. “That was a lifetime ago,” he murmured, pushing his food around his plate. After a brief silence, he added quietly, “Had to sell that camera when you started middle school,” The way his voice cracked on the last word made Lena's heart ache. The next day, she searched online and found Thompson’s Vintage Camera Shop — a family-owned store just three blocks from her school. Mr. Thompson, a kind-eyed man in his sixties, had a similar camera her father once owned. When she explained her situation, his face softened, “How about this?” he said, “You help me around the shop after school for a month and the camera is yours. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 For a month, Lena raced between school, homework, and the camera shop. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Father’s Day, Lena woke up early to prepare her surprise. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 台州市2024学年第二学期高二年级教学质量评估试题 英语 20250627 考生注意: 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2.答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答纸相应的位置上规范作答在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题:每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 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 will Melissa do next?

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了参观大都会美术馆的具体细节。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格内容可知，Adult（成人）票价是15英镑，Child (under 12)（12岁以下儿童）是Free（免费的）。故一个由两名成人和一名10岁儿童组成的家庭只需支付两个成人票，即30英镑。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Discover world-class art collections at the Metropolitan Art Gallery, where over 5,000 artworks spanning ancient to contemporary periods await your visit.(在大都会美术馆探索世界级的艺术藏品吧，那里有超过5000件跨越古代至当代的艺术品静待您的参观。)”及 Opening Hours部分“ The gallery welcomes visitors Wednesday through Monday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with extended hours until 8:00 PM on Fridays.(该美术馆每周三至周一对游客开放，开放时间为上午10点至下午6点，周五延长至晚上8点。)”可知，在该美术馆，周五可欣赏古代艺术作品。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Plan Your Visit部分“ For the best experience, we recommend allowing at least two hours for your visit and purchasing tickets online to avoid queues.(为获得最佳参观体验，我们建议您至少预留两小时，并提前在线购票以避免排队。)”可知，文章建议游客参观之前提前在线购票。故选C。 B My wife works while I stay at home and take care of our two kids and Wendell, an energetic dog. He loved to run but had to settle for our kids’ slow walks until it hit me: I could build a dog wagon (拉车). A few days later, I transformed our old jogging stroller into a two-seat dog wagon with a screwdriver. Now when Wendell sees me pick up his harness (牵引带) I built from old leather belts, he races to the door, eager to pull the kids around the town at a pace that thrills us all. When I left my law career four years ago, it was a promise to my children: I may not be able to buy you as many things, but you will know your father. So when we noticed a few inches of water had frozen in a deserted lot, we grabbed our ice skates and made it our own private rink. When my 5-year-old daughter became obsessed with ancient Egypt, we turned pizza boxes into pyramids. When my 2-year-old son wanted to be RoboCop for Halloween, I made his costume from recycled bottles and pieced his mask together from an old bike helmet and a wash bucket. Creativity rubs off. Not long ago, my daughter asked me to build her a horse, and I made sure she was part of every step of the process that didn’t involve power tools. She helped build her wooden toy horse from start to finish — drawing the design, then painting the final coat. Something that previously existed only in her imagination became a toy she could ride. Every project we finish feels like the fulfillment of a promise — it’s not the things we create that matter but the time we spend creating things together. 24. Why did the author build a dog wagon? A. To improve his craft building skills. B. To meet the exercise need of his dog. C. To recycle the broken jogging stroller. D. To provide a safer transport for the children. 25. Which of the following best describes the author’s parenting style? A. Imaginative and hands-on. B. Traditional and safety-centered. C. Encouraging and play-based. D. Adventurous and talent-focused 26. What does the underlined sentence “Creativity rubs off." in the last paragraph mean? A. Creativity lies in imagination. B. Creativity calls for observation C. Creativity originates from daily life. D. Creativity spreads through interaction, 27. What does the text seem to advocate? A. Valuing quality family time with children. B. Replacing store-bought toys with DIY projects. C. Balancing a career with parenting responsibilities. D. Adapting available resources to meet family needs. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍作者辞去律师工作后，通过自制物品陪伴孩子，重视与孩子共度的时光。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He loved to run but had to settle for our kids’ slow walks until it hit me: I could build a dog wagon (拉车).(它喜欢奔跑，但不得不满足于我们孩子的慢走，直到我突然想到：我可以做一辆狗拉车。)”可知，作者做狗拉车是为了满足狗的锻炼需求。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“So when we noticed a few inches of water had frozen in a deserted lot, we grabbed our ice skates and made it our own private rink. When my 5-year-old daughter became obsessed with ancient Egypt, we turned pizza boxes into pyramids. When my 2-year-old son wanted to be RoboCop for Halloween, I made his costume from recycled bottles and pieced his mask together from an old bike helmet and a wash bucket.(所以当我们注意到一块空地上有几英寸的水结冰时，我们抓起溜冰鞋，把它变成了我们自己的私人溜冰场。当我5岁的女儿痴迷于古埃及的时候，我们把披萨盒变成了金字塔。当我2岁的儿子万圣节想成为机械战警时，我用回收的瓶子做了他的服装，用旧自行车头盔和洗衣桶拼凑了他的面具。)”可知，作者的育儿方式是富有想象力且亲自动手的。故选A项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Not long ago, my daughter asked me to build her a horse, and I made sure she was part of every step of the process that didn’t involve power tools. She helped build her wooden toy horse from start to finish - drawing the design, then painting the final coat. Something that previously existed only in her imagination became a toy she could ride.(不久前，我女儿让我给她做一匹马，我确保她参与了不涉及电动工具的每一个步骤。她从头到尾帮助制作她的木制玩具马——绘制设计图，然后涂上最后一层漆。以前只存在于她想象中的东西变成了她可以骑的玩具。)”可知，作者让女儿参与到不涉及电动工具的每一步，最终以前只存在于她想象中的东西变成了她可以骑的玩具，由此可知，划线句子“Creativity rubs off.”意为“创造力通过互动传播”符合语境。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Every project we finish feels like the fulfillment of a promise — it’s not the things we create that matter but the time we spend creating things together.(我们完成的每一个项目都像是一个承诺的实现——重要的不是我们创造的东西，而是我们一起创造东西的时间。)”可知，文章似乎倡导重视与孩子的优质家庭时光。故选A项。 C Ignacio Vasquez, a 20-year-old college student, spent a year saving money for tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour, only to find presale tickets priced at a minimum of $600 each and many at more than $l,000 — far beyond his budget. “The prices were just shockingly high.” Mr. Vasquez said and abandoned his plan. In recent years, concertgoers have paid eye-popping prices for tickets to see popular artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Oasis on tour. But Gen Z fans — those born between 1997 and 2012 — are paying much more for concert tickets than previous generations did when they were young adults. In 1996, the average ticket price for the top 100 tours was $25.8l, or about $52 adjusted for inflation(通货膨胀), according to data released by Pollstar, a trade publication that covers the live music industry, By 2024, average ticket prices had risen to $135.92. The live music industry has put today’s young adults in an impossibly expensive position. For Gen Z, spending on concerts can be budget breakers. In a survey published last year by Merge, a marketing agency, 86 percent Gen Z surveyed admitted overspending on live events. Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason. Another survey by AAA, the automobile owners group, and Bread Financial, a financial services company, found that Gen Z are willing to spend more and travel farther to attend live events than older generations are. Last year, Chricket Cho, 25, attended seven concerts in the United States and Canada. She spent $8,400 on tickets and travel for the shows. “I just feel like live music is something that makes me feel alive.” said Ms. Cho, an information technology auditor who ears about $100,000 annually. Ms. Cho said she didn’t have a price cap for buying concert tickets. But she said soaring ticket prices had made her reconsider going to concerts if the artists weren’t her “all-time favorites” like Ms. Swift or Bleachers. 28. Why does the author mention Ignacio Vasquez’s experience in the first paragraph? A. To show the high prices of concert tickets. B. To advise students against concert spending. C. To stress Beyoncé’s popularity among Gen Z fans. D. To illustrate the difficulty with concert ticket purchase. 29. What is the main reason for Gen Z’s overspending on concerts? A. They are affected by inflation. B. They are afraid of being left out. C. They long to support their favourite stars. D. They view concerts as an essential part of life 30. What can be inferred about Chricket Cho? A. She can’t afford the high concert costs. B. She regrets spending so much on concerts C. She has a spending limit on concert tickets D. She has become more selective about concerts. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Gen Z Save Money for Concert Costs B. Gen Z Beat Older Generations in Concert Love C Sky-High Concert Prices Break Gen Z’s Budgets D. Rocketing Ticket Prices Cool Gen Z’s passion for Concerts 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讨论了Z世代面对演唱会票价飙升的现象及其消费行为，并分析了其背后的原因和影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Ignacio Vasquez, a 20-year-old college student, spent a year saving money for tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour, only to find presale tickets priced at a minimum of $600 each and many at more than $l,000 — far beyond his budget. “The prices were just shockingly high.” Mr. Vasquez said and abandoned his plan.(20岁的大学生伊Ignacio Vasquez花了一年的时间为Beyoncé即将到来的Cowboy Carter巡演的门票攒钱，结果却发现预售票每张最低600美元，许多门票超过1000美元——远远超出了他的预算。‘价格高得惊人。’Mr. Vasquez说，并放弃了他的计划。)”可知Ignacio Vasquez花了一年的时间为演唱会攒钱，结果却因为门票价格远远超出预算而不得不放弃，由此可见文章提到Ignacio Vasquez的经历是为了显示音乐会门票的高昂价格，故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason.(害怕错过，即‘错失恐惧症’，被列为首要原因。)”可知，Z世代在音乐会上的消费过度的主要原因是他们害怕错过，被排除在外，故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ms. Cho said she didn’t have a price cap for buying concert tickets. But she said soaring ticket prices had made her reconsider going to concerts if the artists weren’t her “all-time favorites” like Ms. Swift or Bleachers.(Cho女士表示，她对于购买演唱会门票并未设定价格上限。但她指出，高昂的门票价格让她不得不重新考虑是否要去看演唱会，尤其是当这些艺人并非像Ms. Swift或Bleachers那样的她‘一直喜爱’的艺人时。)”可知，Chricket Cho对音乐会变得更加挑剔了，更严格筛选，故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段由Ignacio Vasquez的经历提出音乐会门票价格高的话题，由文章第二段以及第三段通过具体的数据和调查结果阐述高昂的音乐会门票价格可能会超出Z世代的预算，文章倒数第二段“Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason.(“害怕错过机会”（即FOMO）这一心理因素也被列为主要原因之一。)”指出Z世代在现场音乐会活动上预算超支的主要原因，最后一段以实际例子指出天价演唱会对年轻人的影响及其对此的应对措施；纵观全文可知，文章一直在围绕着高昂的演唱会票价超出了Z世代的预算范围来展开，所以C项“Sky-High Concert Prices Break Gen Z’s Budgets(天价演唱会门票打破了Z世代的预算)”作为文章标题最为合适，故选C项。 D We all pursue an ideal weight number for health and confidence, often using childhood memories, online calculators or BMI charts. However, Dr, Yoni Freedhoff warns these methods fail to consider individual differences. Our bodies change dramatically with age due to metabolism (新陈代谢) and lifestyle. For decades, Body Mass Index (BMI) dominated weight assessments. This simple height-weight calculation sorts people from underweight to overweight. Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30% of people classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles. Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI) focus on waist size instead of weight. “Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,” says D. Jay. Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease. However, even BRI has limitations — it can’t distinguish between fat types or account for medical conditions affecting belly size, such as digestive disorders. Doctors increasingly emphasize overall health markers over specific weights, “Instead of focusing on a ‘magic number,’ we examine blood pressure, cholesterol (胆固醇), sleep quality and energy levels,” notes Dr. Jay. For those with weight-related conditions, even 5-10% weight loss can significantly improve health. A 2023 study found patients who achieved modest weight reduction showed better health markers than those pursuing extreme weight loss. The healthiest weight, experts agree, isn’t found on charts but through sustainable habits, “When you eat nutritiously and stay active, your body finds its natural healthy weight,” advises Dr. Freedhoff. For some, medications or surgery may help, but the real goal is lifestyle change — not to achieve an ideal number on your scale. True health, after all, is measured not by a momentary reading on a scale, but by the daily choices that nourish both body and life. 32. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The limitations of BMI. B. The standards of weight measurement. C. The classification of health conditions. D. The health assessment of overweight people. 33. What is the main advantage of BRI? A. It clarifies different kinds of fat. B. It evaluates all types of body fat. C. It measures highly risky body fat. D. It identifies harmful chemicals in fat. 34. What is Dr. Jay’s suggestion for weight assessment? A. Stopping using BMI. B. Focusing on specific weights. C. Considering multiple health signs. D. Adopting rapid weight loss approaches. 35. What does the author think of people’s pursuing an ideal weight number? A. Reasonable. B. Practical. C. Dangerous. D. Unnecessary. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了体重评估方法的局限性及专家对健康体重的新观点。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. (然而，纽约大学的梅兰妮·杰伊博士指出了它的问题：BMI对20岁的运动员和70岁的祖父母给出的范围是一样的。它忽略了肌肉质量、骨密度和健康状况，有时会把健康的人视为超重)”可知，第二段主要讲了BMI的局限性。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI) focus on waist size instead of weight. “Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,” says Dr. Jay. Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease. (Body Roundness Index（BRI）等较新的指标关注的是腰围，而不是体重。“腹部脂肪比总体重更危险，”Jay博士说。研究表明，器官周围的脂肪会产生与糖尿病和心脏病相关的有害化学物质)”可知，BRI的主要优势是它测量的是高风险的脂肪。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Doctors increasingly emphasize overall health markers over specific weights, “Instead of focusing on a ‘magic number,’ we examine blood pressure, cholesterol (胆固醇), sleep quality and energy levels,” notes Dr. Jay. (医生们越来越强调关注整体健康指标，而非特定体重。“我们不再关注‘神奇数字’，而是检查血压、胆固醇、睡眠质量和能量水平，”Jay博士指出)”可知，杰伊博士对体重评估的建议是考虑多种健康指标。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The healthiest weight, experts agree, isn’t found on charts but through sustainable habits, “When you eat nutritiously and stay active, your body finds its natural healthy weight,” advises Dr. Freedhoff. (专家们一致认为，最健康的体重不是通过图表找到的，而是通过可持续的习惯找到的。Freedhoff博士建议：“当你吃得有营养，保持活跃时，你的身体会找到自然的健康体重。”)”以及“True health, after all, is measured not by a momentary reading on a scale, but by the daily choices that nourish both body and life. (毕竟，真正的健康不是用秤上的瞬间读数来衡量的，而是用滋养身体和生活的日常选择来衡量的)”可推知，作者认为人们追求理想体重数字是不必要的。故选D。 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。 People develop nicknames for all sorts of reasons. While some nicknames (绰号) are fun and friendly, others can be unkind or hurtful. ____36____ But don’t worry — with the right methods, dropping an unwanted nickname is entirely possible. Here are some easy steps to help you reclaim your real name and establish how you wish to be addressed. ____37____ Think back to when the nickname first started. Who initiated it? Was it meant to be friendly, funny, or a little mean? The context determines your approach. For example, if a loving family member gave the nickname, you might explain your feelings gently, but if classmates used it to tease you, you can be more direct about wanting it to stop. Express your preference clearly. If you want to be called by your real name, express this preference openly and firmly. ____38____ For example, instead of saying, “You know, I don't really like being called ‘Sparky’,” try something like, “I prefer to be called [Your Full Name] from now on.” Stick to your request. This is crucial. You’ll likely need to remind them of your preference many times, especially in the beginning. ____39____ Gently correct them each time. A simple, “Actually, please call me [Your Name],” delivered calmly but consistently, can be very effective. Set boundaries. ____40____ If someone keeps using the nickname after you’ve asked him or her not to, you might need to set clear limits. This could involve politely leaving the conversation or restating your preference. Dropping an unwanted nickname takes time and effort. With patience and persistence, people will learn to respect your preferred name. A. Trace the origin story. B. Challenge the nickname. C. This can help you start a nickname-free life. D. This way, people are more likely to take it seriously. E. Once a nickname sticks, it can be difficult to change F. Be clear about what you will and will not respond to. G. Don’t get discouraged if people make the mistake repeatedly. 【答案】36. E 37. A 38. D 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了摆脱不友好绰号的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“While some nicknames are fun and friendly, others can be unkind or hurtful.(虽然有些绰号很有趣、很友好，但也有一些是不友好或伤人的。)”说明了绰号的害处，再结合下文“But don’t worry — with the right methods, dropping an unwanted nickname is entirely possible.(但是不用担心，只要方法正确，去掉不想要的绰号是完全可能的。)”说明有方法可以摆脱不想要的绰号。E项“一旦绰号被叫开，就很难改变。” 承接上文绰号的负面性，又与下文 “解决方法”形成转折逻辑，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Think back to when the nickname first started. Who initiated it? Was it meant to be friendly, funny, or a little mean? The context determines your approach. For example, if a loving family member gave the nickname, you might explain your feelings gently, but if classmates used it to tease you, you can be more direct about wanting it to stop.(回想一下这个绰号最初出现的时候。谁发起的？它是友好的，有趣的，还是有点刻薄？这决定了你的方法。例如，如果是一个有爱的家庭成员给你起的绰号，你可能会温和地解释你的感受，但如果是同学用它来取笑你，你可以更直接地想要停止它。)”可知，本段介绍要回溯绰号的起源。A项“追溯绰号的起源。”可概括本段内容。故选A项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“If you want to be called by your real name, express this preference openly and firmly.(如果你想要别人叫你的真名，公开而坚定地表达你的偏好。)”说明要有自己坚定的立场，D项“这样一来，人们更可能认真对待。”衔接上文，说明“公开而坚定地表达你的偏好”可以达到的效果，衔接恰当。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Gently correct them each time.(每次都要温和地纠正他们。)”可知，空处需指明“them”指代的对象，G项“如果人们反复犯错，不要气馁。” 与下文“耐心纠正”形成顺承关系。“them”指代那些反复犯错的人们。故选G项。 【40题详解】 根据小标题“Set boundaries.(设置界限)”及下文“If someone keeps using the nickname after you've asked him or her not to, you might need to set clear limits.( 如果有人在你要求他或她不要使用这个昵称之后仍然使用，你可能需要设置明确的限制。)”可知，本段说明了要设置明确的界限。F项“明确你会回应什么、不会回应什么。”是对“设定界限”的具体解释，符合段落核心内容。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题:每小题1分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sam had always felt invisible.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了山姆一直觉得自己没有存在感，认为好事从未降临到自己身上。但他日常会默默帮助他人。后来朋友告诉他，他就是降临在别人身上的 “好事”，这让他意识到，或许有些人的价值不是接收美好，而是成为传递温暖的存在 —— 他在帮助他人的瞬间，早已与世界建立了联结，找到了归属感。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他有几个朋友，但从未觉得自己真正融入其中。他只是…… 在那里。A. cared关心；B. belonged属于，融入；C. depended依赖；D. responded回应。前句“felt invisible”（感觉被忽视）暗示山姆缺乏归属感，“belonged”与“felt like he truly...”搭配，表达“真正融入群体”的含义，符合上下文“不被重视”的语境。故选B项。 【42题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：每天上学时，他都会停下来帮助雷耶斯太太，她总是费力地把面粉袋搬进面包店。A. forgot忘记；B. hesitated犹豫；C. decided决定；D. struggled挣扎，费力。根据前文“stopped to help” 及后文“carry flour sacks inside her bakery”表明雷耶斯太太需要帮助，“struggled to carry”（费力搬运）符合 “需要他人协助”的逻辑，故选D项。 【43题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：一个午休时间，山姆看到同学丹尼尔独自坐着，而其他人成群结队地聊天。A. calmly冷静地；B. comfortably舒适地；C. straight笔直地；D. alone独自地。“while others chatted in groups”（其他人成群聊天）形成对比，说明丹尼尔“独自”坐着，故选D项。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他不假思索地滑到丹尼尔对面的座位上，问道：“介意我坐这儿吗？”A. sank下沉；B. climbed攀爬；C. slid滑/溜；D. jumped跳跃。“slid into the seat”（滑入座位）描述自然流畅的动作，符合 “不假思索” 的语境，故选C项。 【45题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：丹尼尔笑了，眼中突然闪过一丝光芒。A. shine光芒；B. fire火焰；C. confusion困惑；D. shock震惊。“smiled”表明丹尼尔的喜悦，“shine in his eyes”（眼中闪光）是高兴的具象化表达，故选A项。 【46题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：那天晚些时候，他路过一个小女孩，她正为飞走的气球哭泣，他买了个新的递给她。A. pulling down拉倒；B. crying over为…… 哭泣；C. focusing on专注于；D. waving at挥手。“escaping balloon”（飞走的气球）会导致小女孩难过，“crying over”（为…… 哭泣）符合逻辑，故选B项。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. delivered递送；B. returned归还；C. handed递给；D. showed展示。“handed it to her”（亲手递给她）是日常场景中“给予物品”的自然动作，delivered多用于快递等正式场合，故选C项。 【48题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：对他来说，这些只是小事 —— 任何人都会做的事。然而，他总觉得，不知为何，自己身上从未发生过什么特别的事。A. extraordinary特别的；B. memorable难忘的；C. interesting有趣的；D. amusing逗乐的。“yet” 表转折，前句 “small things” 与后句 “nothing...happens to him” 形成对比，“extraordinary”（特别的）强调山姆认为自己经历平凡，没有什么特别的经历。故选A项。 【49题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一天晚上，他独自坐在教室里，目光遥远，他的朋友玛雅走过来坐在他旁边。A. warm温暖的；B. blank空白的；C. distant遥远的；D. brief短暂的。前文“sat alone” 和后文“waiting for something”表明山姆陷入沉思，“gaze distant”（目光遥远）形容出神的状态，故选C项。 50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：山姆叹了口气：“真的没什么好事发生在我身上。”A. argued争论；B. insisted坚持；C. sighed叹气；D. wept哭泣。“Nothing good really happens to me” 表达消极情绪，“sighed”（叹气）符合沮丧的语气，故选C项。 【51题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：玛雅温柔地笑了：“因为你就是发生在别人身上的好事。”A. change改变；B. good好事；C. chance机会；D. story故事。前文“Nothing good really happens to me.”及后文 “Maybe some people...to the good” 呼应此处，“the good” 指代“好事”。故选B项。 【52题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：雷耶斯太太感激的微笑、丹尼尔灿烂的神情和小女孩欢快的笑声在他脑海中闪过。A.

Firstly, with the development of technology, AI is another new tool for artists to show their artistic intention and vision, just like oil painting and digital art. Secondly, many AI paintings deeply move viewers with astonishing creativity and visual appeal, which is what art seeks to achieve. Most importantly, creating meaningful AI art requires significant human involvement and artistic judgment, thus ensuring the genuine aesthetic and conceptual depth of the final output. Therefore, if a painting can touch people's hearts and stimulate thoughts, its origin shouldn't determine its artistic value. 参考范文2：110 While AI paintings may look impressive, I don’t think they should be considered real art. Primarily AI can’t think or feel but only follows data rules. The creation fails to show the real emotions and life experience of the creator. Furthermore, the creative process is fundamentally different. Human artists carefully choose what to paint to express their ideas, while AI responds to prompts without emotional drive. Ultimately, it’s not fair for real artists who work very hard if we take AI-created paintings as real art. Real art requires human emotion, intention and life experience. Therefore, we should appreciate AI images as technological achievements, but not confuse them with genuine artworks. 【解析】 【导语】本书面表达属于应用文写作。要求就“人工智能创作的画作是否应被视为真正的艺术？”发表自己的看法，并向英语报投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 相信：believe→be convinced 展示：show → display 真正的：genuine→authentic 激励：stimulate→motivate 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Firstly, with the development of technology, AI is another new tool for artists to show their artistic intention and vision, just like oil painting and digital art. 拓展句：Firstly, along with technological advancement, AI serves as another novel tool for artists to convey their artistic intent and perspective, similar to oil painting and digital art. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I strongly believe AI paintings are a new way for people to be creative, which deserves recognition and appreciation.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Therefore, if a painting can touch people's hearts and stimulate thoughts, its origin shouldn’t determine its artistic value.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句） 第一节(满分25 分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Lena’s father had always been a man of few words. Since her mother passed away five years ago, he had shouldered the responsibility of raising her alone, working double shifts (班次) as a taxi driver to support his family. Their small apartment was always filled with an unspoken tension — the kind that comes from two people living together but never truly connecting, except that, each night, he’d leave a glass of warm milk on her desk with his usual “Don’t stay up too late.” One Saturday, while cleaning the store room, Lena came across an old shoebox. Driven by curiosity, she took it out and couldn’t wait to find out what was inside. When she opened it, a scent of old paper greeted her. Inside were many black-and-white photos from before she was born. One photo caught her eye — her young father kneeling in a sunny field, smiling happily as he took pictures with a camera. He looked so different from the tired man she knew now. That evening, as they sat across from each other at their usual silent dinner, Lena gathered her courage. “Dad,” she began hesitantly, “I found some old photos today...”, Her father’s fork froze mid-air. He quickly looked at her, then away. “That was a lifetime ago,” he murmured, pushing his food around his plate. After a brief silence, he added quietly, “Had to sell that camera when you started middle school,” The way his voice cracked on the last word made Lena's heart ache. The next day, she searched online and found Thompson’s Vintage Camera Shop — a family-owned store just three blocks from her school. Mr. Thompson, a kind-eyed man in his sixties, had a similar camera her father once owned. When she explained her situation, his face softened, “How about this?” he said, “You help me around the shop after school for a month and the camera is yours. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 For a month, Lena raced between school, homework, and the camera shop. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Father’s Day, Lena woke up early to prepare her surprise. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： For a month, Lena raced between school, homework, and the camera shop. Every afternoon, Lena worked at the camera shop, helping Mr. Thompson and serving customers. Her hands grew rough from organizing film rolls and polishing lenses, and her feet ached from standing for long hours. Though exhausted, she cherished the hope of seeing her father’s smile again — the way he did in those old photographs. One evening, Mr. Thompson handed her a box. “Your hard work paid off,” he said warmly. Lena’s hands trembled as she cradled the camera. Her eyes glistening with gratitude, she whispered, “Thank you, Mr. Thompson.” On Father’s Day, Lena woke up early to prepare her surprise. She placed the camera on the kitchen table and waited nervously. When her father came in for breakfast, his weary eyes widened at the sight. After a short pause, his hardened fingers traced the camera’s edges gently, as if touching a memory. For a moment, there was silence. Lena broke it with a soft “Happy Father's Day, Dad!” “Thank you! This means more than you know. Let’s take a photo together,” his voice cracked with emotion. Lena finally saw it — the smile from the photographs. The click of shutter dissolved years of quiet tension, connecting them at last. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lena的父亲在她母亲去世后，沉默寡言且独自辛苦抚养她。一天，Lena偶然发现一张父亲在田野里开心拍照的照片。当晚吃饭时，Lena鼓起勇气和父亲提起照片，父亲透露在她上中学时不得不卖掉相机，这让Lena心疼。第二天，Lena找到一家复古相机店，店主Thompson先生得知情况后，提出让她放学后在店里帮忙一个月，就把她父亲曾拥有的类似相机送给她。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一个月里，Lena在学校、作业和相机店之间奔波忙碌。”可知，第一段可描写Lena在相机店的辛苦工作并最终获得了相机。 ②由第二段首句内容“在父亲节那天，Lena早早醒来准备她的惊喜。”可知，第二段可描写父亲收到礼物后的感动。 2.续写线索：辛苦工作——获得相机——准备礼物——收到礼物——父亲感动——拍照 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/give sb a hand/assist ②珍视：cherish/treasure/value ③交给：hand/give/offer 情绪类 ①感谢：gratitude/appreciation ②紧张地：nervously/anxiously 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lena’s hands trembled as she cradled the camera.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2]When her father came in for breakfast, his weary eyes widened at the sight. （运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$台州市高二年级期末质量评估试题，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。You'll need to leave now, Melissa, or you'll be late for your flight.
