Along the way he gets caught in a few storms, explores seaside towns and even takes his ageing parents along for part of the journey. Jonathan also uses his time at sea to think about the development of Britain in history. Like all great travel writings, Coasting is actually a story about life. 1.

In a lifetime, one might wait at red lights for countless hours, but few drivers ever wonder who invented these crucial devices. The first traffic light was installed in 1868 in London, outside the British Houses of Parliament. It was manually operated and designed by J. P Knight, a railway engineer, to help manage the growing number of horse-drawn carriages. Unfortunately, this first model used gas lights, which eventually led to an explosion, injuring the officer operating it. After that incident, traffic lights were largely forgotten until cars began to crowd the streets of major cities. The modern, electric traffic light was invented in 1923 by Garrett Morgan, an African American inventor. Morgan was an innovator who saw the need for safer roads. He noticed that vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians often collided because there was no organized system to manage street intersections. To solve this problem, Morgan developed a device with three positions: stop, go, and a third that allowed time for drivers to stop before the light turned red. This simple innovation reduced the number of accidents and made intersections safer for everyone. When Morgan introduced his invention, the initial reception was mixed. Drivers were used to chaotic intersections and many didn’t understand why they should obey a light instead of just going when they felt it was safe. However, Morgan was persistent. He demonstrated how his traffic signal could save lives, and soon, cities across the United States began to adopt his system. Since then, the traffic light has become an essential part of road safety worldwide. Today’s lights use advanced sensors and technology to help manage traffic flow more efficiently. They also include pedestrian signals and countdown times to improve safety for those on foot. The evolution of the traffic light shows how simple ideas can transform into vital tools for daily life. Garrett Morgan’s invention has not only made roads safer but has also shaped how we navigate our cities today. 4. What caused the first traffic light to fail? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. According to the context, what does the underlined word “collided” mean? (1word) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 6. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. What features do today’s traffic lights include to improve efficiency and safety? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. What is your opinion of Garrett Morgan? Please give your reasons. (No more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ A team of researchers spent weeks playing human-vs-rat hide-and-seek which was so much fun that the little rats laughed and jumped for joy. The small players consisted of six adolescent male rats that were trained to play hide-and-seek against neuroscientist Annika Stefanie Reinhold. The researchers filled a room with hiding places made from different boxes. The little creatures learned that if they began the game inside a closed box, they wee the seekers while being in an open box meant they needed to hide. Soon, the rats became wise, figuring out that transparent boxes make the worst hiding places, and checking spots where their two-legged competitor had hidden before when seeking. The findings are reported in Science. When they won, the rats were rewarded with tickling (挠痒) instead of food. " They chase our hand, we tickle them from the side, it's like how you play with small kittens or puppies," said co-author Konstantin Hartmann from the Humboldt University of Berlin. Apart from playing for these interactions, the rats were motivated by the fun of the game. They would let out high-pitched laughter, suggesting they we in high spirits. If you’re wondering why you've never heard a rat laugh, their naughty giggles have to be picked up by scientific equipment as they are too high-pitched to be detected by the human ear. Even more adorably, the test subjects leapt in the air whenever they sniffed out a scientist. Yes,they jumped for joy. And even when the researchers offered food as an end-game reward, the rats postpone accepting them. They seem to want to keep playing the game. Another sign that the rats were enjoying themselves was that they would often leap away to hide in a new location once they'd been found. Like children they wanted to keep playing again and again. The team recorded nerve signals coming from the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质)of the rats' brains, an area involved in leaning. While research like this could tell us more about learn in the mammals, it could also help us better understand the importance of play. Future studies would look into the effects that not being allowed playtime might have on the brain, revealing how children and teenagers denied the opportunity to have fun and play with others might be affected. 9. What can we know about the rats in Paragraph 2? A. They didn’t know when to hide or seek. B. They liked to hide in transparent boxes. C. They got the hang of the game quickly. D. They hid in the same spots as the human. 10. How would the rats react when they found the hider? A. Screaming for help. B. Making joyful leaps. C. Laughing bitterly. D. Chasing the hider. 11. What motivated the rats to keep playing again and again? A. The end game food reward. B. The human-and-rat friendship. C. Their eagerness to win the game. D. Interactions and fun of the game. 12. What might further studies focus on? A. The importance of play for the young. B The way of learning for the mammals. C. The impacts of restricted play on the brain. D. The changes in rats' brains during the game. These days, James, the retired carpenter, 74, even though he suffers from a severe disease, doesn’t want to go to a hospital. And he doesn’t need to. The reason: James now gets his care from Mercy Virtual Care Center some 50 miles away. Equipped with an iPad and devices such as a blood pressure monitor and scale that stream his vital signs and other data from his home to the Center, James and his doctors have been able to detect small health shifts in time to prevent a worse condition.“We can trend the data on a daily basis and intervene in many cases even before patients experience symptoms (症状),” says Gavin Helton, Mercy’s medical director. James and his Mercy team are pioneers in the next big thing in telemedicine, the virtual care clinic whose doctors and nurses provide the major care from miles away. Virtual care itself isn’t new: For a number of years, hospitals have contracted with remote critical care specialists to monitor their ICU patients and have relied on teleconsults with specialists to provide guidance or second opinions. But Mercy Virtual takes the concept to a whole other level. The 125,000-square-foot facility has no waiting rooms, hospital beds or patients on site. Instead, it houses more than 300 medical professionals who sit in front of monitors and computer displays,watching over the care of patients at 38 hospitals. In addition to internists (重症医师) who observe patients at distant ICU, neurologists (神经学家) provide guidance on stroke treatment to community hospitals. A team of virtual hospitals orders and reads tests, and nurses deal with questions about everything from nosebleeds to infections. Other clinicians, like James’ doctors, stay in near continuous touch with patients at home. The concept is working. Death rate in the ICU “is trending 40 percent less than predicted,” says Moore, Mercy Virtual’s president. “By virtually monitoring ICUs 24/7, we’re getting to problems earlier.” The result, he says, is that Mercy in the past year sent home 1,000 ICU patients who otherwise would have been expected to die and saved $40 million. 13. Why needn’t James visit a hospital any more? A. He gets virtual care. B. He dislikes hospitals. C. He has fully recovered. D. He lives too far away 14. What is the function of the devices that James uses at home? A. To detect emergencies. B. To track his health data. C. To contact his doctors. D. To monitor his daily activities 15. What is the main purpose of the Mercy Virtual Care Center? A. To house medical professionals. B. To provide guidance on critical diseases. C. To improve treatment through technology. D. To offer medical help and observation virtually. 16. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Health Care Program: Ways to Develop it. B Virtual Care Clinics: the Wave of the Future. C. Avoiding Hospitals: James’ Treatment Journey. D. Mercy Virtual Care Center: Challenges it Faces Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. For starters, exercise is typically useless for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally negligible. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising generated no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advanced result, but it was slight about 4 pounds on average. In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (补偿) by boosting appetite and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢) , which over time limit how many pounds we lose. When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad”. In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. 17. What does the underlined word “negligible” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Insignificant. B. Abnormal. C. Noticeable. D. Challenging. 18. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To add backgrounds. B. To make comparisons. C. To further support the main idea. D. To recommend some exercise forms. 19. What is the author’s main point about exercising to lose weight? A. Exercise is effective enough for weight loss. B. Exercise is better than diet for losing weight. C. Exercise must be combined with diet to work. D. Exercise for weight loss often causes frustration and quitting. 20. What does the text intend people to do? A. Avoid exercising if the goal is to lose weight. B. Exercise more intensely to burn more calories. C. Combine exercise and diet strictly to lose weight. D. Exercise mainly for health rather than weight loss. 三、完形填空 When pilots fly over the grassland of the Pampas region, Argentina, they’re often surprised to spot a huge guitar-shaped forest in the ordered fields.

It was game day, and I should have been focused, but my mind was elsewhere. My thoughts dragged me down, and I couldn’t shake the heaviness I felt. Every time I passed the ball, Ryan, one of our best players, would make some snide (挖苦的) remarks: “Can’t you aim better, Eliot?” or “Guess we know who won’t be taking the game-winning shot today.” His words cut deep, feeding my doubts. I wanted to fire back, but the energy wasn’t there. Coach Rivera noticed something was off. “Eliot, can I talk to you for a second?” he said after practice. His voice was calm but firm, the way it always was when he saw something wrong. I sighed, knowing I couldn’t avoid the conversation. “Yeah, Coach?” He studied me for a moment, his eyes serious. “You’re not yourself lately. I’ve also noticed there’s tension between you and Ryan. What’s going on?” I hesitated, then said, “Nothing, I’m fine.” Coach didn’t buy it. “I’ve been around long enough to know when something’s weighing on a player. You’ re not just dealing with basketball issues, are you?” I finally admitted, my throat tight and my eyes starting to water, “I have some family problems…my parents had an accident, and I’ve had to take care of them.” Coach nodded, understanding. “That’s a lot to handle. But Ryan... he’s a tough guy, and you two are teammates, and the team only works if you’ re united. Let’s talk things through.” The next day. Coach pulled Ryan and me aside. The conversation was awkward at first. Ryan explained that he felt I wasn’t pulling my weight in the games. I told him about my situation though I didn’t go into details. Ryan’s expression softened. “I didn’t know you were dealing with so much. I’m sorry for pushing you too hard,” he said. “I could’ve handled it better,” I admitted. 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。 With Coach’s help, Ryan and I started working together instead of against each other. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the championship game, Ryan passed me the ball for the game-winning shot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 贵州省大方县第一中学2024-2025学年高二下学期6月期末模拟考试 英语试卷 一、听力选择题 1.

(不幸的是，第一个型号使用的是煤气灯，最终导致了一场爆炸，炸伤了操作它的警察)”可知，煤气灯爆炸导致操作警官受伤，使得首个交通灯失败。故答案为：An explosion of the gas operated light injured the operator. 【5题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“He noticed that vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians often collided because there was no organized system to manage street intersections. (他注意到，由于没有有组织的系统来管理街道十字路口，车辆、自行车和行人经常……)”，结合交通场景，没有管理系统时车辆等容易“相撞”，“crashed”有“碰撞、相撞”之意。故答案为：Crashed. 【6题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“The modern, electric traffic light was invented in 1923 by Garrett Morgan, an African American inventor. (1923年，非裔美国发明家加勒特·摩根发明了现代电动交通灯)”以及后续对他发明过程的描述可知，该段主要讲摩根在1923年发明现代电动交通灯的事。故答案为：(How) Morgan invented the modern electric traffic light in 1923. OR: In 1923, Morgan created a safer three-signal traffic light. OR: Morgan made improvements/enhancements to traffic lights in 1923 OR: Morgan improved traffic lights in 1923. 【7题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Today’s lights use advanced sensors and technology to help manage traffic flow more efficiently. They also include pedestrian signals and countdown times to improve safety for those on foot. (如今的交通灯使用先进的传感器和技术来更有效地管理交通流量。它们还包括行人信号灯和倒计时，以提高行人的安全)”可知，如今交通灯提高效率和安全所具备的特点有：先进的传感器和技术，行人信号和倒计时。故答案为：Advanced sensors and technology, pedestrian signals and countdown times. 【8题详解】 考查开放性题目。根据第三段中“He noticed that vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians often collided because there was no organized system to manage street intersections. To solve this problem, Morgan developed a device with three positions (他注意到，由于没有有组织的系统来管理街道十字路口，车辆、自行车和行人经常相撞。为了解决这个问题，摩根发明了一个有三个位置的装置)”以及第四段“He demonstrated how his traffic signal could save lives, and soon, cities across the United States began to adopt his system. (他展示了他的交通信号灯如何能拯救生命，很快，美国各地的城市开始采用他的系统)”可知，摩根能发现问题并发明交通灯解决问题，还努力推广，体现出他有创新精神和社会责任感。故答案为：He is innovative and responsible. Because he invented traffic lights to improve road safety. A team of researchers spent weeks playing human-vs-rat hide-and-seek which was so much fun that the little rats laughed and jumped for joy. The small players consisted of six adolescent male rats that were trained to play hide-and-seek against neuroscientist Annika Stefanie Reinhold. The researchers filled a room with hiding places made from different boxes. The little creatures learned that if they began the game inside a closed box, they wee the seekers while being in an open box meant they needed to hide. Soon, the rats became wise, figuring out that transparent boxes make the worst hiding places, and checking spots where their two-legged competitor had hidden before when seeking. The findings are reported in Science. When they won, the rats were rewarded with tickling (挠痒) instead of food. " They chase our hand, we tickle them from the side, it's like how you play with small kittens or puppies," said co-author Konstantin Hartmann from the Humboldt University of Berlin. Apart from playing for these interactions, the rats were motivated by the fun of the game. They would let out high-pitched laughter, suggesting they we in high spirits. If you’re wondering why you've never heard a rat laugh, their naughty giggles have to be picked up by scientific equipment as they are too high-pitched to be detected by the human ear. Even more adorably, the test subjects leapt in the air whenever they sniffed out a scientist. Yes,they jumped for joy. And even when the researchers offered food as an end-game reward, the rats postpone accepting them. They seem to want to keep playing the game. Another sign that the rats were enjoying themselves was that they would often leap away to hide in a new location once they'd been found. Like children they wanted to keep playing again and again. The team recorded nerve signals coming from the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质)of the rats' brains an area involved in leaning. While research like this could tell us more about learn in the mammals, it could also help us better understand the importance of play. Future studies would look into the effects that not being allowed playtime might have on the brain, revealing how children and teenagers denied the opportunity to have fun and play with others might be affected. 9. What can we know about the rats in Paragraph 2? A. They didn’t know when to hide or seek. B. They liked to hide in transparent boxes. C. They got the hang of the game quickly. D. They hid in the same spots as the human. 10. How would the rats react when they found the hider? A. Screaming for help. B. Making joyful leaps. C. Laughing bitterly. D. Chasing the hider. 11. What motivated the rats to keep playing again and again? A. The end game food reward. B. The human-and-rat friendship. C. Their eagerness to win the game. D. Interactions and fun of the game. 12. What might further studies focus on? A. The importance of play for the young. B. The way of learning for the mammals. C. The impacts of restricted play on the brain. D. The changes in rats' brains during the game. 【答案】9. C 10. D 11. D 12.

And he doesn’t need to. The reason: James now gets his care from Mercy Virtual Care Center some 50 miles away. Equipped with an iPad and devices such as a blood pressure monitor and scale that stream his vital signs and other data from his home to the Center, James and his doctors have been able to detect small health shifts in time to prevent a worse condition.“We can trend the data on a daily basis and intervene in many cases even before patients experience symptoms (症状),” says Gavin Helton, Mercy’s medical director. James and his Mercy team are pioneers in the next big thing in telemedicine, the virtual care clinic whose doctors and nurses provide the major care from miles away. Virtual care itself isn’t new: For a number of years, hospitals have contracted with remote critical care specialists to monitor their ICU patients and have relied on teleconsults with specialists to provide guidance or second opinions. But Mercy Virtual takes the concept to a whole other level. The 125,000-square-foot facility has no waiting rooms, hospital beds or patients on site. Instead, it houses more than 300 medical professionals who sit in front of monitors and computer displays,watching over the care of patients at 38 hospitals. In addition to internists (重症医师) who observe patients at distant ICU, neurologists (神经学家) provide guidance on stroke treatment to community hospitals. A team of virtual hospitals orders and reads tests, and nurses deal with questions about everything from nosebleeds to infections. Other clinicians, like James’ doctors, stay in near continuous touch with patients at home. The concept is working. Death rate in the ICU “is trending 40 percent less than predicted,” says Moore, Mercy Virtual’s president. “By virtually monitoring ICUs 24/7, we’re getting to problems earlier.” The result, he says, is that Mercy in the past year sent home 1,000 ICU patients who otherwise would have been expected to die and saved $40 million. 13. Why needn’t James visit a hospital any more? A. He gets virtual care. B. He dislikes hospitals. C. He has fully recovered. D. He lives too far away 14. What is the function of the devices that James uses at home? A. To detect emergencies. B. To track his health data. C. To contact his doctors. D. To monitor his daily activities 15. What is the main purpose of the Mercy Virtual Care Center? A. To house medical professionals. B. To provide guidance on critical diseases. C. To improve treatment through technology. D. To offer medical help and observation virtually. 16. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Health Care Program: Ways to Develop it. B. Virtual Care Clinics: the Wave of the Future. C. Avoiding Hospitals: James’ Treatment Journey. D. Mercy Virtual Care Center: Challenges it Faces 【答案】13. A 14. B 15. D 16. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟护理中心的功能及目的。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“And he doesn’t need to. The reason: James now gets his care from Mercy Virtual Care Center some 50 miles away.(他不需要这么做。原因是：詹姆斯现在在50英里外的Mercy虚拟护理中心接受治疗)”可知，詹姆斯不需要再去医院了，因为他得到了虚拟治疗。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Equipped with an iPad and devices such as a blood pressure monitor and scale that stream his vital signs and other data from his home to the Center, James and his doctors have been able to detect small health shifts in time to prevent a worse condition.“We can trend the data on a daily basis and intervene in many cases even before patients experience symptoms (症状),” says Gavin Helton, Mercy’s medical director.(詹姆斯和他的医生们配备了iPad和血压计、体重计等设备，这些设备可以将他的生命体征和其他数据从家中传输到中心，他们能够及时发现健康状况的细微变化，防止病情恶化。“我们可以每天跟踪数据，甚至在患者出现症状之前就对许多病例进行干预，”Mercy的医疗主管Gavin Helton说)”可知，詹姆斯在家里使用的设备的功能是追踪他的健康数据。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The 125,000-square-foot facility has no waiting rooms, hospital beds or patients on site. Instead, it houses more than 300 medical professionals who sit in front of monitors and computer displays,watching over the care of patients at 38 hospitals. In addition to internists (重症医师) who observe patients at distant ICU, neurologists (神经学家) provide guidance on stroke treatment to community hospitals.(这个占地12.5万平方英尺的医院没有候诊室、病床或病人。取而代之的是，它容纳了300多名医疗专业人员，他们坐在显示器和电脑显示器前，监督38家医院对病人的护理。除了内科医生到远处的ICU观察病人外，神经科医生还为社区医院的中风治疗提供指导)”可推知，Mercy虚拟护理中心的主要目的是提供虚拟的医疗帮助和观察。故选D。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“And he doesn’t need to. The reason: James now gets his care from Mercy Virtual Care Center some 50 miles away.(他不需要这么做。原因是：詹姆斯现在在50英里外的Mercy虚拟护理中心接受治疗)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了虚拟护理中心的功能及目的。由此可知，B. Virtual Care Clinics: the Wave of the Future(虚拟护理诊所：未来的潮流)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. For starters, exercise is typically useless for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally negligible. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising generated no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advanced result, but it was slight about 4 pounds on average. In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (补偿) by boosting appetite and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢) , which over time limit how many pounds we lose. When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad”. In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. 17. What does the underlined word “negligible” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Insignificant. B. Abnormal. C. Noticeable. D. Challenging. 18. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To add backgrounds. B. To make comparisons. C. To further support the main idea. D. To recommend some exercise forms. 19. What is the author’s main point about exercising to lose weight? A. Exercise is effective enough for weight loss. B. Exercise is better than diet for losing weight. C. Exercise must be combined with diet to work. D. Exercise for weight loss often causes frustration and quitting. 20. What does the text intend people to do? A. Avoid exercising if the goal is to lose weight. B. Exercise more intensely to burn more calories. C. Combine exercise and diet strictly to lose weight. D. Exercise mainly for health rather than weight loss. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. D 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了锻炼对于减肥效果有限，强调应将运动重点放在增进健康而非单纯减重上。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后“Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising generated no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advanced result, but it was slight about 4 pounds on average.(研究人员发现，在六个月的时候，饮食控制结合运动相较于单独的饮食控制并没有产生更显著的体重减轻效果。在十二个月时，饮食与运动相结合的方式显示出了一定的进步，但这种进步较为轻微，平均而言仅约为4磅的额外减重)”可知，加入运动后对减肥的效果几乎没有增加，即效果微乎其微或不显著。因此，“negligible”一词最接近的意思是“微不足道的”，与insignificant意思相近。故选A。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段内容“In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (补偿) by boosting appetite and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢) , which over time limit how many pounds we lose.(在那些运动产生了有意义的体重减轻效果的研究中，参与者每次运动至少燃烧了400到500卡路里，每周五天或更多。为了达到这个目标，一个150磅的人每天至少需要步行90分钟或跑步30分钟。简而言之，运动的强度和时间远远超过了大多数人愿意或能够做到的程度。即使我们设法付出了如此大的努力，我们的身体也往往会通过增加食欲和减缓新陈代谢来进行补偿，这随着时间的推移限制了我们能减掉的体重数量)”可知，本段列举了一些锻炼后产生有意义的减肥效果的研究，当运动产生有意义的体重减轻时，参与者需要燃烧至少400到500卡路里，并且每天需要进行90分钟的步行或30分钟的跑步。此外，该段还指出即使我们能够付出如此多的努力，身体也会通过增加食欲和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，从而限制了体重减少的数量。因此，第四段的目的是为了进一步支持文章的主要观点，即运动对于减肥的效果有限。故选C。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容及第一段“Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing.(我们中的许多人开始运动是希望甩掉多余的体重。毫无疑问，旨在增加活动量的目标是一件好事。但是，如果主要原因是减肥，那么这个决心很可能不会有什么效果)”和最后一段中“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out.(当运动未能满足我们的减肥期望时，我们常常会停止锻炼)”可知，作者在文中多次强调，如果主要目的是为了减肥，那么运动的效果往往令人失望，人们可能会因为没有达到预期的减肥效果而停止锻炼。由此推知，作者关于锻炼减肥的主要观点是，为了减肥而进行的运动经常导致沮丧和放弃。故选D。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight.(结论是，当我们专注于自身的整体福祉而非体重时，我们更有可能以积极的态度对待运动并真正去进行锻炼)”可推知，文章意在希望人们更多地为了健康而不是为了减肥去运动。故选D。 三、完形填空 When pilots fly over the grassland of the Pampas region, Argentina, they’re often surprised to spot a huge guitar-shaped forest in the ordered fields.

It was game day, and I should have been focused, but my mind was elsewhere. My thoughts dragged me down, and I couldn’t shake the heaviness I felt. Every time I passed the ball, Ryan, one of our best players, would make some snide (挖苦的) remarks: “Can’t you aim better, Eliot?” or “Guess we know who won’t be taking the game-winning shot today.” His words cut deep, feeding my doubts. I wanted to fire back, but the energy wasn’t there. Coach Rivera noticed something was off. “Eliot, can I talk to you for a second?” he said after practice. His voice was calm but firm, the way it always was when he saw something wrong. I sighed, knowing I couldn’t avoid the conversation. “Yeah, Coach?” He studied me for a moment, his eyes serious. “You’re not yourself lately. I’ve also noticed there’s tension between you and Ryan. What’s going on?” I hesitated, then said, “Nothing, I’m fine.” Coach didn’t buy it. “I’ve been around long enough to know when something’s weighing on a player. You’ re not just dealing with basketball issues, are you?” I finally admitted, my throat tight and my eyes starting to water, “I have some family problems…my parents had an accident, and I’ve had to take care of them.” Coach nodded, understanding. “That’s a lot to handle. But Ryan... he’s a tough guy, and you two are teammates, and the team only works if you’ re united. Let’s talk things through.” The next day. Coach pulled Ryan and me aside. The conversation was awkward at first. Ryan explained that he felt I wasn’t pulling my weight in the games. I told him about my situation though I didn’t go into details. Ryan’s expression softened. “I didn’t know you were dealing with so much. I’m sorry for pushing you too hard,” he said. “I could’ve handled it better,” I admitted. 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。 With Coach’s help, Ryan and I started working together instead of against each other. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the championship game, Ryan passed me the ball for the game-winning shot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With Coach’s help, Ryan and I started working together instead of against each other. We found a rhythm on the court that we hadn’t had before. Ryan made an effort to understand my situation off the court and offered his support. Our teamwork improved, and so did our performance. The atmosphere in the gym became more positive, filled with encouragement. It was about overcoming challenges together. Coach reminded us that growth often comes from facing adversity, and through this, we learned lessons beyond the sport. In the championship game, Ryan passed me the ball for the game-winning shot. Time seemed to slow as I took the shot. It wasn’t just about scoring; it symbolized all we’d been through. The crowd cheered as the ball went in. This victory felt sweeter because it showed our growth and the strength gained off the court. Ryan’s trust during that moment proved we had turned a corner. We didn’t just win a game; we strengthened our bond as teammates and friends. 【解析】 【导语】本文是以作者在篮球队中面临的个人与团队挑战为线索，主要讲述的是作者因家庭变故而心事重重，影响了他在篮球场上的表现和与队友Ryan之间的关系。面对Ryan的冷嘲热讽，作者感到无力反击，内心充满自我怀疑。教练Rivera发现了作者的变化以及他与Ryan之间的紧张关系后，决定介入帮助解决问题。通过一次坦诚的对话，作者分享了自己家庭的困难，Ryan也因此了解到了作者所承受的压力，并向他道歉的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在教练的帮助下，Ryan和我开始合作，而不是互相对抗。”可知，第一段可描写作者与Ryan的合作给球队带来的积极影响以及对这件事情的感悟。 ②由第二段首句内容“在冠军赛中，Ryan把球传给了我，投进了致胜一球。”可知，第二段可描写作者投入的这致胜一球的意义，尽可能与本文的标题“成长的比赛”吻合，即通过参与比赛实现个人的成长。 2.续写线索：开始合作——表现提升——成长的感悟——致胜一投——象征意义——增进友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①投球：took the shot/released the ball/ launched the shot ②欢呼：cheered/ applauded/ erupted ③获得：gain/obtain/get 情绪类 ①令人满意：felt sweeter/feel more fulfilling/feel more pleasant 【点睛】[高分句型1] We found a rhythm on the court that we hadn’t had before.（运用了that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] Time seemed to slow as I took the shot.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] This victory felt sweeter because it showed our growth and the strength gained off the court.（运用了because引导的原因状语从句以及过去分词短语作定语修饰strength） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
