Morty wouldn’t be pushing a wheelchair after all. In fact, he was struggling to keep up with Raffy’s pace. But he failed and bent over and tried to catch his breath. “We’ll figure out a pace that works for us,” Raffy said with a smile. “Both team members have to cross the line together.” Raffy came up with a system for them to help each other out. When Raffy said “push,” it meant that his arms were tired and Morty should take the wheelchair handles and push for a bit. When Morty said “slow,” it meant his legs were tired, and both boys would slow down so Morty could rest. They turned out to be quite a team. On the day of the Walkathon, Raffy and Morty gave high-fives to each other. Raffy said to Morty, “We have to keep up the pace, but we also have to be smart. We should both take breaks when we need to.” Morty agreed. They both knew simply speeding around the field wouldn’t make them winners. They needed to give each other a hand. At the beginning of the walkathon, Morty and Raffy weren’t the fastest pair to make it around the soccer field, but they were still going strong six hours later. Close to the end of the walkathon, Morty suddenly fell down and Raffy grabbed Morty’s arm and helped him to his feet. Morty and Raffy were declared the champions finally. Everyone cheered as Morty received his third walkathon trophy and Raffy was awarded his first. A win is twice as great when it’s shared! 答案解析： A 语篇类型：应用文 主题语境：人与社会 【语篇导读】本文介绍了一个在中国举办的国际中文夏令营项目, 涵盖活动课程特色，文 化体验，招生要求，项目安排，费用与优惠等信息，旨在帮助学生及家长根据兴趣和需求选 择合适的暑期项目。 21.

There’s a parcel for you. M: I’m waiting for a conference call at the moment. Could you sign for it on my behalf? It’s just some cat food for our Whiskers. (Text 3) W: Tonight is the surprise party for Shota at my house. Hope you can make it on time. M: OK, I’m planning to study at the library until 7:00, so ... W: Actually, the party starts at 6:00. (Text 4) W:I heard you’re skiing this afternoon. Is that true? M:I doubt it. The weather forecast is pretty bad. (Text 5) M: How do you like it? I bought it in China. W: It’s beautiful! I love the color and design. What are you going to do with it? M: I want to have a skirt made for my wife. (Text 6) M:Oh, Mary, Mom’s birthday is coming up. Wouldn’t she just love that? W:Oh, that’s very pretty. ⑥Do you think it will fit her? She has really small fingers, you know. M:Yeah, I think it will fit. ⑥Which do you think she’d like better? The silver one or the gold one? W:Well, ⑦the gold is more expensive, but Mom is pretty special. (Text 7) W: Is everything ready for the launch of the eco-garden, Charles? M: Well, ⑧the chairs are still being arranged. We need to bring some down from the hall. Other than that, the refreshments are ready to be served, and the fans are also working well in the tent. W: OK. M: Oh, yes, ⑨the microphones for you and Mrs. Shanti are working well. I tested them just now. But I have a spare one just in case. W: Thanks, Charles.

One minute everyone wants so-called superfoods like blueberries, and the next some rare herbal tea! W: Talking about healthy trends, nowadays plant-based diets are very popular. M: Yeah, they’re often assumed to be good for our health, but ⑮most people are going meat-free out of concern about nature and climate change. But I’d question whether a plant-based diet is the best option for everyone. W: And what does the future hold for you? M: The industry can’t survive without fresh talent, especially those from different backgrounds. For that reason, ⑯with my food blog, I’m keen to work with writers who are just starting out and give them guest columns. W: John, thank you for joining us today. (Text 10) M:Good afternoon, everyone. Well, some of the most practical lessons coming out of research in psychology are in the area of memory. People ask, why can’t I remember that term in physics or the library books are due? ⑰For many people, memory may be weak, because they don’t use it enough. It’s like muscle. If you don’t exercise it, it won’t get strong. That’s why it’s important to keep our minds active and keep on learning throughout our life. We can do this by reading and playing memory games. Another factor is the busy life. I’m sure the lack of enthusiasm for life isn’t a problem for students like you. More likely, the life you are in is so busy and colorful that this in itself may sometimes affect learning. Later on, I will discuss how information is recalled from memory. But, first, the information needs to be recorded, in other words, learned. And for busy people like you and me, that is where the real problem often lies. ⑱If we are trying to think about what we are going to do next, the incoming message just might not be getting recorded effectively. And that leads to another tip for students who want to improve their memories. Give your full attention to the information you hope to store. Research clearly shows the advantages of this, and also of active learning. For example, try to make a mental picture of a new fact, so the new fact will stick in memory. ⑲Let me illustrate that for you here a little more concretely in the next class. 重庆市巴蜀中学教育集团高2026届高二（下）期末考试 海 英语试卷 (命题人：柏洁拳文凭 审题人：葛宁) 注意事项： 1答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、班级、学校在答题卡上填写清楚。 2每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净 后，再选涂其他答素标号。在试卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将答题卡交回，试卷自行保存。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）》 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5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.How will the speakers go to Florida this time?

The research work Smalley does involves doig practical experiments.The experiments are a bit like cooking,and the aim of getting a product is the same as baking.Smalley's favourite thing to bake is scone. because thev're simple to pul logether and there are lots of different ways to play with the flavours. Smalley launched a new project at the University of Leicester called the Science Kichen,which showcases food-related scientific demonstrations and talks.He says,"It's a space where we're bringing together the two worlds of science and baking."It's also a way to show how science can be applied in the real world.The workshops aim o inspire young people and encourage them to take an interest in science. As well as chemistry,baking is also about numbers-and Smalley is a big fan of maths.Last year he became an ambassador()for the NSPCC,a children's charity,which aims to make maths enjoyable for children.As an ambassador,Smalley helped create some cool activities. There are so many skills that you can develop through science.Smalley says.He hopes that showing young people ways thauthose skills can be used.such as in baking.will highlight how exciting chemistry can be.He says,"The world always needs scientists.now more than ever." However,Smalley points ow that studying science at university doesn't mean you have to be a research scientist.He says it teaches you life skills such as how to work in a group,how to manage a project and how to be more independent.Also,if you're like Smalley,you might learn how to make some delicious scones. 24.What is the similarity between Smalley's experiments and baking? A Both featurc creative products. B.Both involve scientific theories. C.Both require expensive equipment. D.Both show professional cooking. 25.What is thepurpose of the Science Kitchen Project? A.To raise funds for the NSPCC. B To find the practical use of science. C.To train cooks for scicntific cooking skills. D To motivate the young's enthusiasm in science. 26.What is the key benefit of studying science in Smalley's view? A.It provides valuable life skills. B It teaches unique baking techniques. C.It improves critical research ability. D It offers professional career planning. 27.Which of the following best describes Smalley? A .Strict and academic B.Creative and passionate C.Traditional and focused D.Devoted and modest C Imagine if an airliner only lasted a single journey and a new one had to be built for every single flight.It may sound crazy,but in the world of spaceflight,this single-useapproach is a well-established practice. The first rockets to launch humans into orbit back in the 1960s were changed military missiles,so it's no surprise they were designed forjust one flighl each.For space operators like NASA,however,the result was painfully expensive.Adjusted to moder prices,the cost of putting a payload()into orbit using one of those early reekets was around $30.000(f23,700)per kilogram.The obvious solution was to make space launchers reusable,and NASA came up with just such an approach that it believed would drastically reduce launch costs.This was the Space Shuttle,which first flew in 1981. Unfortunately,the Space Shutue pushed costs in the wrong direction.Despite its reusable design,it still managed to use $65,000(E51,400)for every kilogram it delivered to orbit.The problem was that in order to achieve reusability with 20th-century technology,the Space Shuttle had to be very complicated.To bring it 高二英语第4页 back in one piece to the earth,it had to be flown down through the i what made costs high. A smpler solution would have been to use something similar to those first-generation rockets,bringing them back under computer control without the need for a crew.To the Space Shuttle's designers.this would have seemed unthinkably far-fetchedt-yet it's exacily what SpaceX does today,on a routine basis, with its Falcon 9 rockets.These have stared a new age of "cheap'space travelwith the cost of launch now down o just $200(1580)per kilogram.While SpaceX is the current leader in reusable rocketry,other companies such as Blue Ongin and Rocket Lab are developing similar systems of their owp. 28.What was the reason for the high cost of early space launches? A rocket was built for one flight. B The rockets launched human into orbit. 个：Putting a payload into orbit was hard. D.NASA lacked the necessary technology. 29.Why did the Space Shuttle fail to reduce launch costs as expected? A.Its landing was controlled by man.B.Many staff were needed for research. C.It was based on outdated technology. D.Computer systems were not advanced 30.The word"far-fetched"in paragraph 3 most likely means A.faraway expensive C.unrealistic )dangerous 31.What does the passage mainly discuss? A.The technical challenges faced by the Space Shuttle. B.The history of NASA's space exploration programs. C The competition between SpaceX and other companies. D.The launch cost influenced by reusable rockets development. D Scientists have identified neurons in an ancient part of the brain that control when you stop eating a meal, at least in rodents(啮齿动物).The rescarchers discovered that cholecystokinin(胆囊收缩素)(CCK)neurons ()which are foupe in the brain stem-one of the oldest parts of the brain-combine various signals produced as we eat,causing us to feel full and not want to take another bite.The feeding signals these neurons respond to relay information like how much food is detected by receptors in the mouth,how full the stomach is and how high the levels of different hunger signalling hormones in the blood are.The new research is still in its early stages,having only been conducted in mice so far. The team focused on the brain stems of mice to build on research in rodents dating back to the 1970s, which hinted that the hrain stem could play a role in regulating feelings of fullness.However,which particular cells within this region did this and how was unclear.To see how CCK neurons may influence eating.the scientists genetically modified mice so that their CCK neurons could be switched on and off using light in lab experiments.They found that when these neurons were activated,the mice ate smaller meals compared to unmodified mice,and the extent of activation determined how quickly the modified mice stopped eating. The findings suggest that CCK neurons regulate how much mice eat during a given meal,the team concluded.If equivalent neurons are found in the human brain stem,the findings could theoretically lead to the development of new treatments for conditions like obesity.This idea was supported by separate experiments conducted in the same study,in which the team discovered that mouse CCK neurons can be activated by a drug called Exendin-4.which caused the mice to stop eating.Exendin-4 is in the same class of drugs as Ozempic and Wegovy,which are becoming increasingly popular for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity-respectively.Whether used alone or alongside other medical interventions,these findings could provide a pathway for clinically regulating eating behaviour and possibly for developing weight-reducing drugs.But these findings in rodents must first be extended to people. 高二英语第5页 32.Which of the following can best describe CCK neurons. A.Taste detectors. B Decision makers. C.Hunger killers. D.Signal organizers 33.What's the key difterence between genetically modified mice and normal ones according to Paragragh 2? A.Normal mice got Exendin-4 injections. B.Modified mice had more hunger hoemones C.Normal mice had changed brain stem structures. D Modified mice had CCK neurons controlled by light. 34.Why does the author mention a drug called Exendin-4? A.To challenge existing findings. B To indicate potential applications. C.To suggest immediate effectiveness. D.To highlight experimental limitations. 35.Which of the following could be a proper title of the passage? A.Ancient Brain Region Controls Meal Size B.New Drugs Target Brain's Hunger Neurons C.CCK Neurons Can Cure Obesity in Humans D.Mouse Study Reveals CCK Neurons'Structure 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， How hobbies help us Standing on a stage,singing loudly a ballad()at a local Chinese festival,is a core memory for Kien Vuu.36While he was too voung to understand the words he was singing-from"Part of the Game,"a 1970s song about heartbreak by Hong Kong pop group The Wynners-he did understand how much he loved performing music,especially with his family. 37 Instead,he chosa medical school and became Kien Vuu.MD,a longevity doctor and assistant professor of health sciences at UCLA.Yet he never lost his love for singing,so he makes time regularly for karaoke sessions with his own children."Singing with people has always been one of my favorite hobbies.In fact,I can still remember all the words to that old song,"he says."38" Such things are vital,and we do mean in a medical sense.Just ask Dr.Vuu:"In my work as a doctor and researcher,I've become copvinced that having hobbies is an essential part of living and aging well,"he says.
