Visiting Quebec City in January offered a magical winter experience. A snowy wonderland, with festive lights and a lively atmosphere despite the chilly temperatures. We were a week early but the highlight of winter is the Quebec Winter Carnival, one of the world’s largest and oldest winter festivals. This annual event features parades, ice sculptures, outdoor concerts, and the famous Bonhomme Carnaval, the festival’s mascot. The town’s dedication to the concert was visible a week early, with ice sculptures already in progress. Our winter exploration of Quebec City provided endless winter activities, from ice skating at Place d’Youville with stunning views of the historic old town, to the toboggan run at Terrasse Dufferin operating since 1884. We had a thrilling ride down the snowy slide with yells and laughter. To warm ourselves we made a lovely stop for lunch at Le Lapin Sauté, a cozy restaurant known for its rabbit dishes. With beautiful winter decoration and lively wait staff, it was the perfect lunch spot on a O-degree day. We could have sat down in the cozy cafes and window shopped in the lower part of the old town all afternoon. For anyone with an interest in First Nations history across Canada, the Museum of Civilization down on the waterfront is a must-visit. There are excellent exhibits and interactive elements across the museum’s multiple levels. It provided a warm and comfortable environment for an educational afternoon. Quebec City is a marvelous destination, close to home for us in the U. S, but with its history and French influence, you feel thousands of miles away from North America. For anyone brave enough and with a great winter coat, I definitely recommend a winter visit to Quebec City! 4. What does the underlined word “frigid” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Bitterly cold. B. Particularly pleasant. C. Extremely crowded. D. Wonderfully refreshing. 5. Why could the author still witness ice sculptures despite arriving a week early? A. Preparation work was already underway. B. Restaurants displayed seasonal decorations. C. The museum hosted a temporary exhibition. D. Artists’ commitment ensured quicker progress. 6. Which activity specifically appeals to visitors fond of historical education? A. Dining at Le Lapin Saute. B. Experiencing the Toboggan run. C. Exploring the Museum of Civilization. D. Attending the outdoor concerts. 7. What is the author’s overall impression of Quebec City in winter? A. A city unsuitable for winter tourism B. A habitable city with moderate climate. C. A unique destination featuring French charm. D. A city with spectacular scenery but a short history. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一月底作者游览魁北克市，体验冰雪活动，参观博物馆，虽寒冷但充满魅力，并推荐冬季游玩。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Visiting Quebec City in January offered a magical winter experience. A snowy wonderland, with festive lights and a lively atmosphere despite the chilly temperatures.(在一月游览魁北克城能带来一场神奇的冬日体验。这里宛如一个银装素裹的仙境，尽管气温寒冷，却依然灯火辉煌、气氛热烈)”可知，一月下旬的魁北克城十分寒冷。故划线词意思是“严寒的”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The town’s dedication to the concert was visible a week early, with ice sculptures already in progress.(一周前，小镇对音乐会重视就已可见一斑，冰雕制作工作已经开始了)”可知，作者即便提前一周到达，仍能目睹冰雕的盛景是因为前期准备工作已经开始了。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For anyone with an interest in First Nations history across Canada, the Museum of Civilization down on the waterfront is a must-visit.(对于任何对加拿大各地原住民历史感兴趣的人来说，位于海滨的文明博物馆都是必去之地)”可知，探索文明博物馆最能吸引那些热衷于历史教育的游客。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Quebec City is a marvelous destination, close to home for us in the U. S, but with its history and French influence, you feel thousands of miles away from North America.(魁北克市是一个非常棒的旅游目的地，对我们美国人来说它离家不远，但其悠久的历史和法国的影响却让你感觉仿佛置身于远离北美数千里之外的异国他乡)”可知，作者认为魁北克城冬季是一个独具魅力、充满法式风情的旅游胜地。故选C。 C I sometimes feel I’m in a daily struggle not to become a shallower version of myself. The driver of shallowization is technology, the way it reduces attention span, fills the day with unnecessary distractions (分散注意). So I’m trying to take countermeasures. I flee to the arts. I’m looking for those experiences we all have as kids: becoming so enveloped by an adventure story that you refuse to put it down to go to dinner; getting so entirely swept up in some piece of music that you feel primeval (原始的) passions thumping within you; encountering a painting so beautiful it feels like you’ve walked right into its alternative world. The normal thing to say about such experiences is that you’ve lost yourself in a book or a song — lost track of space and time. But it is more accurate to say that a piece of art has quieted the self-conscious ego voice that is normally chattering away within. A piece of art has served as a gateway to a deeper realm of the mind. It has opened up that hidden, semiconscious kingdom within us from which emotions emerge, where our moral sentiments (情绪) are found. The arts work on us at that deep level, the level that really matters. You give me somebody who disagrees with me on every issue, but who has a good heart — who has the ability to show sympathy with others, participate in their woes, longing and dreams — well, I want to stay with that person all day. You give me a person who agrees with me on every particular, but who has a cold, resentful heart — well, I want nothing to do with him or her. Artists generally don’t set out to improve other people; they just want to create a perfect expression of their experience. But their art has the potential to humanize the beholder. 8. Why does the author turn to the arts? A. To escape from daily chaos. B. To imitate the lifestyles of artists. C. To avoid shallowization from technology. D. To seek inner peace through dialogues. 9. According to the text, how does art affect our inner world? A. By enabling us to keep sustainable focus. B. By expanding keen insights into the world. C. By enhancing information processing ability. D. By allowing access to deep levels of the mind. 10. What is the value of engaging with the arts according to paragraph 4? A. Developing genuine passions for art. B. Acquiring the ability to understand others. C. Learning the art appreciation techniques. D. Strengthening social links between people. 11. What will be talked about after the last paragraph? A. The strategies for promoting ourselves. B. The perspectives on conveying true beauty. C. The approaches to humanizing artworks. D. The principles of maintaining motivations. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者为了对抗科技带来的浅薄化趋势，转向艺术寻求深度体验和内心平静，强调了艺术在深化人类情感和道德情操方面的独特作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The driver of shallowization is technology, the way it reduces attention span, fills the day with unnecessary distractions. So I’m trying to take countermeasures. I flee to the arts.(浅薄化的驱动力是技术，它缩短了注意力持续时间，让一天充满不必要的干扰。所以我试图采取对策。我逃向艺术)”可知，作者转向艺术是为了避免科技带来的浅薄化。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A piece of art has served as a gateway to a deeper realm of the mind. It has opened up that hidden, semiconscious kingdom within us from which emotions emerge, where our moral sentiments are found.(一件艺术品是通往心灵深处的门户。它打开了我们内心隐藏的、半意识的王国，情感从中涌现，我们的道德情操也在这里被发现)”可知，艺术通过允许进入心灵的深层来影响我们的内心世界。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“You give me somebody who disagrees with me on every issue, but who has a good heart — who has the ability to show sympathy with others, participate in their woes, longing and dreams — well, I want to stay with that person all day. You give me a person who agrees with me on every particular, but who has a cold, resentful heart — well, I want nothing to do with him or her.(你给我一个在每个问题上都不同意我的人，但他有一颗善良的心——他有能力同情别人，参与他们的痛苦、渴望和梦想——好吧，我想整天和那个人在一起。你给我一个在每个细节上都同意我的人，但他有一颗冷漠、怨恨的心——好吧，我不想和他或她有任何关系)”可知，根据第四段，参与艺术的价值是获得理解他人的能力。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Artists generally don’t set out to improve other people; they just want to create a perfect expression of their experience. But their art has the potential to humanize the beholder.(艺术家通常不会刻意去改善他人；他们只是想完美地表达自己的经历。但他们的艺术有可能使观众变得人性化)”可知，最后一段之后可能会讨论使艺术品人性化的方法。故选C。 D An international research team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered striking evidence of seasonal temperature swings and glacial cyclic activity during the greenhouse period in Earth’s past, offering new insights into today’s climate challenges. The study, published in Science Advances, is the first to reconstruct the history of seasonal variations in sea surface temperatures during a greenhouse Earth period, discovering that during the Early Cretaceous period (139.8-132.9 million years ago), the Earth exhibited significant seasonal temperature variations and periodic melting of polar ice sheets and glaciers. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about stable, ice-free conditions during prehistoric warm eras. In cooperation with institutions in Germany, the United Kingdom and Madagascar, Ding’s team analyzed fossilized oyster shells from the Early Cretaceous period. By examining growth layers in the shells, similar to tree rings, the team reconstructed seasonal sea surface temperatures and identified periodic melting of polar glaciers, even in a world with high-atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration levels. The researchers focused on oysters of the genus Rastellum, whose shells form distinct light and dark bands corresponding to summer and winter growth. By scanning electron microscopy (显微镜) and geochemical analyses, the team extracted seasonal temperature data. It’s revealed that winter temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere’s mid-latitudes were 10 to 15 C lower than summers during a cooling phase known as the Weissert Event — comparable to modern seasonal swings, according to the research team. The team linked brief glacial pulses to volcanic activity from the Parana-Etendeka eruptions and shifts in Earth’s orbit. “This research cracks open a new window into Earth’s climate past, revealing hidden rhythms beneath the greenhouse facade (表象),” said Andreas Mulch, a co-author. The study, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and CAS programs, underscores the urgency of understanding climate complexity to forecast future extremes, Ding said. 12. What is the main discovery of the study published in Science Advances? A. The accelerated polar ice melting. B. A steady ice-free state of the Earth. C. The growth layers of fossilized shells. D. The seasonal sea surface temperature swings. 13. What contributed to glacial pulses during the Weissert Event? A. The change of seasons. B. The volcanic eruptions. C. The moon’s orbital motion. D. The global emissions of CO2. 14. What can be inferred about the significance of this study? A. It aids in predicting future extremes. B. It recreates the history of climate change. C. It provides new insights into ocean research. D. It offers a comprehensive study of climate. 15. What is the best title for this article? A. Climate Complexity Needs More Investigation B. New Study Denies the Past Greenhouse Climate C. Fossil Shells Unveil Ancient Seasonal Climate Secrets D. Seasonal Temperature Swings Causes Life Extinctions 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了中国科学院领导的团队发现白垩纪早期温室期有季节性温度波动和冰川周期性活动，为应对当前气候挑战提供新视角。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The study, published in Science Advances, is the first to reconstruct the history of seasonal variations in sea surface temperatures during a greenhouse Earth period, discovering that during the Early Cretaceous period (139.8-132.9 million years ago), the Earth exhibited significant seasonal temperature variations and periodic melting of polar ice sheets and glaciers.(这项发表在《科学进展》上的研究首次重建了温室地球时期海面温度季节性变化的历史，发现早白垩世时期（1.398 亿至 1.329 亿年前），地球出现了显著的季节性温度变化以及极地冰盖和冰川的周期性融化)”可知，发表在《科学进展》杂志上的这项研究的主要发现是季节性海面温度的变化。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It’s revealed that winter temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere’s mid-latitudes were 10 to 15 C lower than summers during a cooling phase known as the Weissert Event — comparable to modern seasonal swings, according to the research team. The team linked brief glacial pulses to volcanic activity from the Parana-Etendeka eruptions and shifts in Earth’s orbit.(研究团队指出，在被称为“韦塞特事件”的降温阶段，南半球中纬度地区的冬季气温比夏季低10至15摄氏度——这与现代的季节变化情况相当。该团队将短暂的冰川脉冲与帕拉纳-埃滕德卡火山喷发以及地球轨道的变化联系了起来)”可知，在韦塞特事件期间出现冰川脉动的原因是火山喷发。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and CAS programs, underscores the urgency of understanding climate complexity to forecast future extremes, Ding said.(丁教授表示，这项由中国国家自然科学基金和中国科学院项目资助的研究强调了理解气候复杂性对于预测未来极端情况的紧迫性)”可知，这项研究有助于预测未来的极端情况。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“An international research team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered striking evidence of seasonal temperature swings and glacial cyclic activity during the greenhouse period in Earth’s past, offering new insights into today’s climate challenges.(由中国科学院领导的一个国际研究团队发现了地球过去在温室时期存在季节性温度变化和冰川周期性活动的惊人证据，为当今的气候挑战提供了新的见解)”并结合全文可知，文章主要说明了中国科学院领导的团队发现白垩纪早期温室期有季节性温度波动和冰川周期性活动，为应对当前气候挑战提供新视角。可知，C选项“动物化石壳揭示了古代季节性气候的秘密”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Big moments and decisions in our lives can make our stomachs drop. Moving somewhere new, getting married and starting a family are what we may be nervous about. Here are some ways to deal with your scares. ● Pause and Reflect Take a breath. Harvard professor Luana Marques suggests calming your nerves by meditating, taking a walk or talking to a friend. ___16___ If yes, would taking on the discomfort of a new thing get me closer to where I want to be in my career or relationships? ● Comfortable Zone Traps Not choosing is making a choice, too. Many clients who come to Tega Edwin, a St. Louis-based career counselor, have stayed in bad jobs for years, terrified they’ll fail or be equally miserable elsewhere. ___17___ For example, Edwin tells them that avoiding the unknown guarantees a bad outcome: the job you already know you hate. ● Danger ahead ___18___ Anne Mamaghani, a user experience consultant in San Jose, Calif. , felt torn when a recruiter presented a job opportunity that would have brought her near family in Indiana, exposed her to a new industry and boosted her title. The thought of wresting her two children, ages 10 and 13, from their school and community felt awful, though. She prioritized her children’s needs over career gains. ● Building Resilience (韧性) Learning to adapt to change can be like building a muscle. When Mark Smith moved to Toronto from Salt Lake City a few years ago with his family, panic hit him on the first day of his new job. “I just started thinking, what have I done?” he says. ___19___ That time abroad did bring him closer to his wife and son, he says, and proved his own resilience. Smith jumped at the chance when the family had an opportunity to move to Italy last year. This time, he says he felt no fear at all. A good life requires a few risks. ___20___ A. Sometimes you shouldn’t struggle ahead. B. A visit from friends brought him back to life. C. Immediate success is rare, but persistence pay s off. D. Staying passive traps us in predictable unhappiness. E. Obviously, true growth begins when we face discomfort. F. In fact, change often feels terrifying but proves rewarding. G.

Harvard professor Luana Marques suggests calming your nerves by meditating, taking a walk or talking to a friend.(深呼吸一下。哈佛大学的卢安娜·马克斯教授建议可以通过冥想、散步或者与朋友交谈来缓解紧张情绪)”以及后文“If yes, would taking on the discomfort of a new thing get me closer to where I want to be in my career or relationships?(如果是的话，尝试接受新事物所带来的不适，这是否能让我更接近自己在事业或人际关系方面所期望达到的状态呢？)”可知，后文提到了回答是，推测本句为设问句，关于要做的事情的设问。故G选项“清楚地问问自己：这是未来我想做的事情吗？”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Not choosing is making a choice, too. Many clients who come to Tega Edwin, a St. Louis-based career counselor, have stayed in bad jobs for years, terrified they’ll fail or be equally miserable elsewhere.(不做出选择也是一种选择。许多来到圣路易斯市的特加·埃德温咨询公司寻求帮助的客户，多年来一直被困在糟糕的工作岗位上，他们害怕自己会失败，或者在其他地方也会同样痛苦不堪)”可知，上文提到害怕自己失败和痛苦，即产生了消极情绪。故D选项“一味消极会让我们陷入无趣的痛苦之中”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Anne Mamaghani, a user experience consultant in San Jose, Calif. , felt torn when a recruiter presented a job opportunity that would have brought her near family in Indiana, exposed her to a new industry and boosted her title. The thought of wresting her two children, ages 10 and 13, from their school and community felt awful, though. She prioritized her children’s needs over career gains.(安妮·马马加尼是加利福尼亚州圣何塞的一名用户体验顾问。当一位招聘人员向她介绍了一个能让她与印第安纳州的家人近在咫尺、让她接触新行业并提升职位的职位时，她感到左右为难。但想到要将两个年仅10岁和13岁的孩子从学校和社区带走，那种感觉实在糟糕。她把孩子的需求置于职业发展之上)”可知，后文“把孩子的需求置于职业发展之上”例子表明有时候不需要太过于积极向前，可以考虑其他人，故A选项“有时你不必一味向前冲”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Learning to adapt to change can be like building a muscle. When Mark Smith moved to Toronto from Salt Lake City a few years ago with his family, panic hit him on the first day of his new job. “I just started thinking, what have I done?” he says.(学会适应变化的过程就像锻炼肌肉一样。几年前，马克·史密斯带着家人从盐湖城搬到了多伦多。他刚开始这份新工作时，就感到一阵恐慌袭来。“我开始思考，我到底做了些什么？”他说道)”以及后文“That time abroad did bring him closer to his wife and son, he says, and proved his own resilience.(他说，那次出国的经历让他与妻子和儿子的关系更加亲密了，同时也证明了他自身的坚韧不拔)”可知，上文马克·史密斯从一开始的恐慌，到后来和家人关系更加亲密，说明了不适可以带来成长。故E选项“显然，真正的成长始于我们面对不适之时”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Smith jumped at the chance when the family had an opportunity to move to Italy last year. This time, he says he felt no fear at all. A good life requires a few risks.(去年全家有机会移居意大利时，史密斯抓住了这个机会。这一次，他说自己完全没有感到害怕。良好生活往往需要承担一些风险)”可知，上文提到史密斯抓住了机会，提到良好的生活需要承担风险，本句为本段最后一句，对生活中发生改变给人带来的影响进行总结。故F选项“实际上，变化往往让人感到恐惧，但最终会带来回报”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was an ordinary Saturday morning.

This speech competition was themed “Adversity and Courage”. Adversities are inevitable in life, but courage helps us overcome them. It is an essential quality that deeply influences our life.

Facing deafness and blindness, she demonstrated extraordinary perseverance, proving that it’s courage, not luck, that shapes our destiny. The audience seemed moved, and I felt proud to deliver my speech. The transformative experience taught me that embracing difficulties is essential, as they are the fuel for growth. I realized adversities are not barriers but stepping stones. True courage lies in rising after every fall. I’m grateful for the opportunity and would love to hear your thoughts.

I felt lonely and spent most of my time on phone. My mom confronted me about my bad grades and wasting time on my phone instead of doing homework. She kept asking me questions from my biology book and discovered I hadn’t read any of the material. I was behind in chemistry too. As our back and forth got more heated, my mom seemed to grasp how depressed and lonely I was. I sat alone at my desk, sour and thoughtful. My grandma, who lived with us, came into my room and put a hand on my shoulder. “Hey there,” she said softly. “Hi.” I didn’t look up from my notebook. “I can help you study chemistry,” she proposed. I looked at her. That idea sounded nice. “How about we start tomorrow by reading the first pages of your book?” And so we did. It was late in the school year to start the chemistry book. I would read a chapter or two a day, and then my grandmother and I would talk about it and answer questions to make sure I understood the material before moving on. My grandma had helped me with homework as a little kid, but this felt more emotional. I allowed myself to be more vulnerable (脆弱) than usual. It was the kind of human connection I’d been missing. Progressing through the chemistry book with my grandma, I felt safe and supported, as if under a warm blanket. Our studying together pushed me toward this calmer kind of happiness. Soon after this breakthrough, however, we moved to the U. S. . Screen addiction in the U. S. is different than it was for me in Ukraine. Social media is the most powerful presence for American teenagers, and I was trying to fit in. I downloaded TikTok. But then the app started to feed me brain rot—trending videos of mindless memes that took over the conversations around me. Soon, I felt pressure to be cool by keeping up with them. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: I started to think about what made me happy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Also, I’ve made a good group of friends. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I started to think about what made me happy. I thought back to the warm and happy days studying together with my grandma. I decided to try to live a more fulfilling life. I read on social media about phone-free living and it intrigued me. So I deleted TikTok and started spending more time in nature. On a trip upstate that summer, I went outside and noticed the quiet you don’t get in the city. I heard the wind rustling the leaves above me and the water hitting the rocks at the edge of the lake. I was reminded of how I’d felt before I was always on my phone, when I was a kid playing outside. Also, I’ve made a good group of friends. This group is never boring or annoying. They’re not interested in brain rot and they’re not trying to be cool. We goof around, but we also encourage each other, and they do interesting things that inspire me, like sailing and learning ancient Greek. I’ve even gotten into science with these friends. Recently, we sat together in the lunchroom and quizzed each other on the chemical properties of matter and homogeneous mixtures. It was fun; not like a chore. Once again, chemistry — which I thought I hated — connected me with other people. Being off social media gives my brain a break from adrenaline. I can think more clearly and my focus is stronger. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了七年级时“我”随家人从乌克兰搬到基辅，因孤独沉迷手机导致成绩下滑，奶奶帮“我”学习化学让“我”感受到温暖。后移居美国，“我”受社交媒体影响，最终删除应用，回归自然并结交新朋友，重新爱上化学。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我开始思考是什么让我快乐”可知，第一段可描写作者反思自己，决定试着过一种更充实的生活，开始花更多的时间在大自然中。 ②由第二段首句内容“而且，我交了一群好朋友”可知，第二段可描写作者朋友的特点以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：反思快乐意义——做出改变——关注大自然——交到新朋友——和朋友研究科学——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回想起：think back to/recall ②联系：connect/associate ③决定：decide to/be determined to 情绪类 ①快乐：happy/joyful ②令人讨厌：annoying/ unpleasant 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was reminded of how I’d felt before I was always on my phone, when I was a kid playing outside.（运用了when引导时间状语从句和how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] We goof around, but we also encourage each other, and they do interesting things that inspire me, like sailing and learning ancient Greek.（运用了that引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第二学期高中期末调测 高二英语 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷 (选择题)、第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题)，满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。所有题目的答案都必须写在答题卷上。 第I卷 注意事项： 1. 答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 选出每小题答案后，用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，再选涂其他答案标号。不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B It was a magical but frigid arrival in late January to Quebec City, one of North America’s oldest settlements, founded in 1608 by French explorer Samuel de Champlain. Visiting Quebec City in January offered a magical winter experience. A snowy wonderland, with festive lights and a lively atmosphere despite the chilly temperatures. We were a week early but the highlight of winter is the Quebec Winter Carnival, one of the world’s largest and oldest winter festivals. This annual event features parades, ice sculptures, outdoor concerts, and the famous Bonhomme Carnaval, the festival’s mascot. The town’s dedication to the concert was visible a week early, with ice sculptures already in progress. Our winter exploration of Quebec City provided endless winter activities, from ice skating at Place d’Youville with stunning views of the historic old town, to the toboggan run at Terrasse Dufferin operating since 1884. We had a thrilling ride down the snowy slide with yells and laughter. To warm ourselves we made a lovely stop for lunch at Le Lapin Sauté, a cozy restaurant known for its rabbit dishes. With beautiful winter decoration and lively wait staff, it was the perfect lunch spot on a O-degree day. We could have sat down in the cozy cafes and window shopped in the lower part of the old town all afternoon. For anyone with an interest in First Nations history across Canada, the Museum of Civilization down on the waterfront is a must-visit. There are excellent exhibits and interactive elements across the museum’s multiple levels. It provided a warm and comfortable environment for an educational afternoon. Quebec City is a marvelous destination, close to home for us in the U. S, but with its history and French influence, you feel thousands of miles away from North America. For anyone brave enough and with a great winter coat, I definitely recommend a winter visit to Quebec City! 4. What does the underlined word “frigid” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Bitterly cold. B. Particularly pleasant. C. Extremely crowded. D. Wonderfully refreshing. 5 Why could the author still witness ice sculptures despite arriving a week early? A. Preparation work was already underway. B. Restaurants displayed seasonal decorations. C. The museum hosted a temporary exhibition. D. Artists’ commitment ensured quicker progress. 6. Which activity specifically appeals to visitors fond of historical education? A. Dining at Le Lapin Saute. B. Experiencing the Toboggan run. C. Exploring the Museum of Civilization. D. Attending the outdoor concerts. 7. What is the author’s overall impression of Quebec City in winter? A. A city unsuitable for winter tourism B. A habitable city with moderate climate. C. A unique destination featuring French charm. D. A city with spectacular scenery but a short history. C I sometimes feel I’m in a daily struggle not to become a shallower version of myself. The driver of shallowization is technology, the way it reduces attention span, fills the day with unnecessary distractions (分散注意). So I’m trying to take countermeasures. I flee to the arts. I’m looking for those experiences we all have as kids: becoming so enveloped by an adventure story that you refuse to put it down to go to dinner; getting so entirely swept up in some piece of music that you feel primeval (原始的) passions thumping within you; encountering a painting so beautiful it feels like you’ve walked right into its alternative world. The normal thing to say about such experiences is that you’ve lost yourself in a book or a song — lost track of space and time. But it is more accurate to say that a piece of art has quieted the self-conscious ego voice that is normally chattering away within. A piece of art has served as a gateway to a deeper realm of the mind. It has opened up that hidden, semiconscious kingdom within us from which emotions emerge, where our moral sentiments (情绪) are found. The arts work on us at that deep level, the level that really matters. You give me somebody who disagrees with me on every issue, but who has a good heart — who has the ability to show sympathy with others, participate in their woes, longing and dreams — well, I want to stay with that person all day. You give me a person who agrees with me on every particular, but who has a cold, resentful heart — well, I want nothing to do with him or her. Artists generally don’t set out to improve other people; they just want to create a perfect expression of their experience. But their art has the potential to humanize the beholder. 8. Why does the author turn to the arts? A. To escape from daily chaos. B. To imitate the lifestyles of artists. C. To avoid shallowization from technology. D. To seek inner peace through dialogues. 9. According to the text, how does art affect our inner world? A. By enabling us to keep sustainable focus. B. By expanding keen insights into the world. C. By enhancing information processing ability. D. By allowing access to deep levels of the mind. 10. What is the value of engaging with the arts according to paragraph 4? A. Developing genuine passions for art. B. Acquiring the ability to understand others. C. Learning the art appreciation techniques. D. Strengthening social links between people. 11. What will be talked about after the last paragraph? A. The strategies for promoting ourselves. B. The perspectives on conveying true beauty. C. The approaches to humanizing artworks. D. The principles of maintaining motivations. D An international research team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered striking evidence of seasonal temperature swings and glacial cyclic activity during the greenhouse period in Earth’s past, offering new insights into today’s climate challenges. The study, published in Science Advances, is the first to reconstruct the history of seasonal variations in sea surface temperatures during a greenhouse Earth period, discovering that during the Early Cretaceous period (139.8-132.9 million years ago), the Earth exhibited significant seasonal temperature variations and periodic melting of polar ice sheets and glaciers. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about stable, ice-free conditions during prehistoric warm eras. In cooperation with institutions in Germany, the United Kingdom and Madagascar, Ding’s team analyzed fossilized oyster shells from the Early Cretaceous period. By examining growth layers in the shells, similar to tree rings, the team reconstructed seasonal sea surface temperatures and identified periodic melting of polar glaciers, even in a world with high-atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration levels. The researchers focused on oysters of the genus Rastellum, whose shells form distinct light and dark bands corresponding to summer and winter growth. By scanning electron microscopy (显微镜) and geochemical analyses, the team extracted seasonal temperature data. It’s revealed that winter temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere’s mid-latitudes were 10 to 15 C lower than summers during a cooling phase known as the Weissert Event — comparable to modern seasonal swings, according to the research team. The team linked brief glacial pulses to volcanic activity from the Parana-Etendeka eruptions and shifts in Earth’s orbit. “This research cracks open a new window into Earth’s climate past, revealing hidden rhythms beneath the greenhouse facade (表象),” said Andreas Mulch, a co-author. The study, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and CAS programs, underscores the urgency of understanding climate complexity to forecast future extremes, Ding said. 12.

Moving somewhere new, getting married and starting a family are what we may be nervous about. Here are some ways to deal with your scares. ● Pause and Reflect Take a breath. Harvard professor Luana Marques suggests calming your nerves by meditating, taking a walk or talking to a friend. ___16___ If yes, would taking on the discomfort of a new thing get me closer to where I want to be in my career or relationships? ● Comfortable Zone Traps Not choosing is making a choice, too. Many clients who come to Tega Edwin, a St. Louis-based career counselor, have stayed in bad jobs for years, terrified they’ll fail or be equally miserable elsewhere. ___17___ For example, Edwin tells them that avoiding the unknown guarantees a bad outcome: the job you already know you hate. ● Danger ahead ___18___ Anne Mamaghani, a user experience consultant in San Jose, Calif. , felt torn when a recruiter presented a job opportunity that would have brought her near family in Indiana, exposed her to a new industry and boosted her title. The thought of wresting her two children, ages 10 and 13, from their school and community felt awful, though. She prioritized her children’s needs over career gains. ● Building Resilience (韧性) Learning to adapt to change can be like building a muscle. When Mark Smith moved to Toronto from Salt Lake City a few years ago with his family, panic hit him on the first day of his new job. “I just started thinking, what have I done?” he says. ___19___ That time abroad did bring him closer to his wife and son, he says, and proved his own resilience.

I felt lonely and spent most of my time on phone. My mom confronted me about my bad grades and wasting time on my phone instead of doing homework. She kept asking me questions from my biology book and discovered I hadn’t read any of the material. I was behind in chemistry too. As our back and forth got more heated, my mom seemed to grasp how depressed and lonely I was. I sat alone at my desk, sour and thoughtful. My grandma, who lived with us, came into my room and put a hand on my shoulder. “Hey there,” she said softly. “Hi.” I didn’t look up from my notebook. “I can help you study chemistry,” she proposed. I looked at her. That idea sounded nice. “How about we start tomorrow by reading the first pages of your book?” And so we did. It was late in the school year to start the chemistry book. I would read a chapter or two a day, and then my grandmother and I would talk about it and answer questions to make sure I understood the material before moving on. My grandma had helped me with homework as a little kid, but this felt more emotional. I allowed myself to be more vulnerable (脆弱) than usual. It was the kind of human connection I’d been missing. Progressing through the chemistry book with my grandma, I felt safe and supported, as if under a warm blanket. Our studying together pushed me toward this calmer kind of happiness. Soon after this breakthrough, however, we moved to the U. S. . Screen addiction in the U. S. is different than it was for me in Ukraine. Social media is the most powerful presence for American teenagers, and I was trying to fit in. I downloaded TikTok. But then the app started to feed me brain rot—trending videos of mindless memes that took over the conversations around me. Soon, I felt pressure to be cool by keeping up with them. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: I started to think about what made me happy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Also, I’ve made a good group of friends. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
