Suddenly.the taxi made a sharp turn to avoid a crash.The door flew open,and I fell onto the road.My heels hit the ground hard.Strangers rushed to help as sharp pain shot through my legs.An ambulance took me to the hospital. During recovery.I found comfort in small things.One day.I watched Scent of a Woman on the hospital TV.The actor Al Pacino's lines-"If you make a mistake,just keep dancing"- stayed with me.Dancing had always been my escape,but now it felt impossible. Sent home on a medical bed,I stayed at my mother's house for weeks.I moved from a wheelchair to a walking stick.Simple moves were hard;my balance was weak.Fear followed me everywhere-crossing streets,getting into cars-like my body didn't trust the world anymore, The turning point came when I returned to tango.At first,I danced carefully in sports shoes,holding my partner's arm tightly.Progress was slow,but tango grounded me.At dance nights,dancing three songs with strangers taught me to trust again.As a follower,I focused on my partner's signals,matching our breathing and movement.The tango embrace ( became more than a hold-it was silent conversation.In those moments,sadness and fear turned into focus.Each step was a promise:Keep going. Years later,I see how tango mirrored my healing.Born from hardship,it taught me to move with life's challenges.Those twelve-minute dances weren't just steps-they proved that even when your body fails,your spirit can lead. 24.What changed the author's life in Buenos Aires? A.A meaningful family dinner. B.A severe traffic accident. C.An inspiring movie scene. D.A memorable taxi conversation. 25.Why were Pacino's lines important to the author?

Statistics prove the trend:Book club listings on Eventbrite jumped 350%post-2020,while "book club"re-entered Meetup's top 10 search terms.Clubs like Glasgow's Feminist Book Club,founded by Stefanie McCartney,now attract up to 40 attendees monthly. Today's clubs combine literature with themed experiences-like detective night dinners or knitting (circles-to serve specialized audiences.Identity-focused groups,such as Literally Black Book Club,create safe spaces for minority group communities.Silent book clubs,meanwhile,offer connection through shared quiet reading. As technology advances,people are facing heightened social isolation ()Loneliness and digital overload are key drivers."The isolation emphasized our need for meaningful interaction,"Cooke explains.Book clubs provide structure,McCartney adds,allowing people to engage however they choose. As screen fatigue (grows,many seek refuge in physical books and in-person discussion.Cooke says:"People want a break from screens,like how music fans enjoy old- style records or people write diaries."Clubs without alcohol are also popular.More clubs now don't focus on drinking.McCartney states:"We need choices besides drinking."Member Laura Menendez likes that it's not about buying things:"It's about being together,not spending money.Celebrities like Dua Lipa and Kaia Gerber have intensified the trend, drawing younger audiences. In an age of disconnection,book clubs combine tradition with modern needs,proving shared reading is anything but outdated.As Cooke notes,"It's never been more relevant.They provide a space where ideas are challenged,broadened,and enriched through collective discussion,offering connections and the insights after the pages are turned,leaving a remarkable mark on the community. 28.What drives the UK book club revival? A.Social media influence. B.Desire for real-world bonds. C.Increased publishing of novels. D.Government cultural policies. 29.How does the author illustrate the book clubs'popularity? A.By citing platform statistics. B.By listing club varieties. C.By mentioning celebrity examples. D.By describing member emotions. 30.What does the underlined word "refuge"in Paragraph 5 mean? A.Recreational activities. B.Routine behaviors. C.Social responsibility. D.Safe shelter. 31.What does Cooke think of the book clubs'impact? A.It's far-reaching. B.It's youth-dependent. C.It's digitally-driven. D.It's entertainment-focused. 高二英语第5页（共10页） D Bees are declining globally.Scientists warn that insufficient research exists to fully understand or address this crisis.Now at Wakehurst.Kew Gardens'wild botanic garden in Sussex,rescarchers are pioneering a study to identify which trees best support bees,aiming to handle their alarming decline. Using advanced sensors placed in trees,the team detects bees by monitoring the unique buzz(嗡瞻晌)of their wing beats..This method creates“heat maps”showing which species attract the most pollinators(授粉者).The study also analyzes DNA from collected pollen(花 to determine which flowers bees prefer. Dr.Janine Griffiths-Lce,pollination research lead,emphasizes the urgency:"Nearly 90% of Bowering plants rely on pollinators,yet the UK's flying insect population has dropped by 60%in 20 years.Globally,this decline threatens crop stability and essential ecosystem services."Trees,she explains,act as "3D structures"offering vast reserves of pollen despite their small ground footprint.Identifying the most beneficial species could help cities become lifelines for bees. Wakehurst's 535-acre estate serves as a "living laboratory"for climate solutions.Director Susan Raikes explains,"We face twin crises-biodiversity loss and climate change.As native plants struggle,we must find alternatives to sustain pollinators."The study aims to pinpoint trees from warmer climates that could survive in the UK's changing environment,ensuring future food security. Urban areas,often seen as ecological deserts,hold untapped potential.By planting the right trees,cities can become vital habitats for bees.For example,lime trees are rich in pollen, while horse chestnuts offer early-season flowers.Non-native species may extend blooming periods,bridging gaps in food supply. The research underscores a broader truth:saving bees requires reimagining human spaces. With pollinators responsible for one in three bites of food,their survival is closely connected to ours.As Raikes states,"We need nature-based solutions to survive."By integrating technology with ecology,this project offers hope-not just for bees,but for the delicate web of life they sustain. 32.What does Kew Gardens'study mainly aim to do? A.Protect bees in dangerous areas. B.Find trees that are most helpful to bees. C.Compare local and foreign plants. D.Create new bee-tracking devices. 33.How do researchers determine bee preferences? A.By analyzing soil quality near trees.B.Through DNA tests and sound mapping. C.By measuring pollen production annually.D.Through satellite tracking of bee colonies. 34.What is the author's attitude toward urban bee conservation? A.Negative,B.Uncertain. C.Dismissive. D.Promising. 35.What's the best title for the text? A.Bee Safety Needing Better Park Management B.Rescuing Trees:Bee Sensors Map Insect Sounds C.Bee Survival Linked to Smarter Urban Tree Choices D.Saving Bees:Global Sensors Track Pollinator Decline 高二英语第6页（共10页） 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Deep travel is all about trying to understand the culture,the history,or the cuisine of your destination.36.And here are a few tips for deep travel. Slow down This is particularly relevant to long trips.Travel burnout is very real,and can make the whole experience much less enjoyable.Try to plan your schedule so that you have at least a few nights in every stop,rather than moving on every few days!37.If you only have three days,it's tempting(诱人的)to simply tick things off the“top ten attractions”list.But that makes it harder to really appreciate each one. 38 Be honest with yourself.Are you visiting the top sights or the most famous museum because you're genuinely interested in it,or because TripAdvisor told you it's the "best"thing to do there?Don't treat your exploration like a sightseeing checklist.Instead,put experiences first when you can.Look for something more experiential.That could be a class,a storytelling tour,or even trying a new sport. Talk to locals There's really no better way to learn about a culture than speaking to the locals.It's their culture,after all.So whenever you can,try to chat to locals.Even a stranger in a bar or coffee shop.And take the chance to press them for a local recommendation.39. Try to find a meetup One of the awesome things about the Internet is how it can make being social so much easier!Just do a search and you'll find several groups where you can ask questions or get in touch with fellow travelers.40.Sites like Meetup and Couchsurfing are all about connecting travelers with locals,and they're brilliant places to start.Many hostels and co-working spaces also run events-whether it's a social,a movie night,or a class. A.Book a food tour B.Prioritize experiences C.Better still,try to find local events to go to D.The same principle applies to shorter trips E.It's about trying to get beneath the surface of a place F.Ask about their favorite restaurant or what they do for fun G.Try to find accommodation that is close to public transportation 高二英语第7页（共10页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）】 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother,Janice Goldstein,was the most creative person I've ever known.Growing up in the 1970s,I was constantly 41 by her talent.The house was always filled with the soft click-clack of needles and fabrics.And I knew it was a(n)42 of love. 43 in 2017 everything changed.My mother suffered strokes ()44 the use of her right side and having to use a wheelchair.When I 45 her place,I found those three unfinished sweaters.I knew 46 who they were intended for and it broke my heart to see them 47.

I looked around.There,standing on the fresh earth of the yard next door,was a little figure covered in dirt,his brown hair messy."William!"I cried out,genuinely surprised. “What on earth are you doing here?” He patted his chest proudly."Helping my dad put down grass!"He pointed towards the next yard,where I spotted his father,head down,working hard with a roller.William's dad owned a gardening business. "I bet he loves the help,"I said warmly,turning to my daughter."This is William.One of my students.He's..."My usual praise about his helpfulness was caught in my throat. "He's wonderful to have in class...a hard worker,"I finished,seeing his expectant face. In my class,William was different from others.Reading was a real struggle for him.He often forgot his homework.Numbers sometimes escaped from his head.I'd spent so many lunchtimes trying to help him catch up.My voice was patient but my stomach was often filled with worry."Will he ever grasp this?What if he falls too far behind?" William's eyes lit up when we learned about insects,or birds,or how plants grew.Break time,he wasn't on the swings;he was chasing a butterfly or watching a line of ants carry food bigger than themselves. When spring arrived,I announced our special project:Growing Sunflowers!Each child would plant some seeds,care for them,and watch them grow."Sunflowers follow the sun,"I explained."They teach us about patience...and about finding the light." William's hand shot up like a rocket."Can I give them water?Every day?!"His voice was urgent,hopeful. "Of course you can,William,"I smiled.But inside,a small,doubtful thought whispered: Is this just another distraction(干扰)？ 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。 Shouldn't he be focusing on his reading? On the last school day,a flash of brilliant yellow in the garden caught my eye. 高二英语第10页（共10页）
