B At a restaurant or cafe, it’s usual to see people filming or taking photos here and there. Some use their mobile phones while others come equipped with professional cameras, and sometimes even accompanied by their recording team. A recent trending topic on Sina Weibo—about why filming or taking photos in stores is becoming a bother—has generated a heated discussion. For a long time, it was seen as mutual (相互的) advantages for both customers and store owners when people posted photos or videos online, sharing their experiences and review s of various shops. Customers could gather useful information about stores before visiting, and some might be influenced by popular trends when picking restaurants or travel spots. Meanwhile, owners often saw their customer numbers double quickly, all thanks to a video showing the food, service and atmosphere. Some stores even set up special zones with stylish decorations for customers to take photos. However, more stores are now shutting their doors to customers who only come in to take pictures or shoot videos for social media. “A group of people will order just one cup of coffee, grab the best seats and spend five to six hours taking photos or filming,” a restaurant owner in Wuhan grumbled online. “They move tables and chairs without asking and leave tripods, lights, makeup and clothes everywhere.” Many owners have noticed that these customers ruin the experience of others. Some said their regular customers stopped coming because they felt they had to be cautious while enjoying their coffee to avoid ending up in someone’s video. Others noted that these influencers took up multiple seats for hours, leaving no space for customers who actually wanted to enjoy a meal or a drink. “In societies dominated by modern conditions of production, life is presented as a collection of numerous large-scale visual scenes,” wrote French philosopher Guy Debord in his book The Society of the Spectacle. He argued that mass media turns reality into a never-ending series of packaged moments, pushing us to focus on looks. “As individuals in the digital age, we also need to learn self-control,” commented People’s Daily. “Beyond the virtual world, there are moments in life that should be felt and remembered with the soul, not through a phone.” 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The effects of online sharing on store owners. B. The reasons why customers posted photos online. C. The benefits of postings for customers and stores. D. The ways that store owners improved their service. 25. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Complained. B. Stressed. C. Discovered. D. Evaluated. 26. What is Guy Debord’s view about modern society? A. It overstresses appearances. B. It overvalues online content. C. It focuses too much on productivity. D. It limits creativity and self-expression. 27. What advice does People’s Daily give to people in the digital age? A. Counting less on technology. B. Having a sense of boundaries. C. Avoiding sharing moments online. D. Experiencing life fully and sincerely. C Climate change is having a far-reaching and significant impact on the world’s bird species, with a new study revealing that many are becoming smaller in size. This research provides crucial insights into the complex relationship between birds and their changing environment. Researchers from multiple famous universities, such as the University of Guelph and the University of Michigan, carefully examined data on nearly 80, 000 individual birds from 52 species across North America. Their in-depth study covered a period of over 40 years. During this period, as the global climate continued to warm, with average temperatures steadily rising, a remarkable trend emerged: the birds, on average, became smaller. In addition to the decrease in body size, the birds’ wingspans (翼幅) have also increased slightly. Scientists believe this is a natural way to survive. In warmer conditions, a larger wingspan can help birds generate more lift with less effort, enabling them to migrate more flexibly over long distances. The study’s lead author, Dr. Ryan Norris, noted that the changes in bird size and wingspan are highly likely a direct response to climate change. “Birds are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and these findings suggest that they are evolving (进化) in response to rising temperatures,” he said. “Smaller body size may help birds regulate their body temperature more effectively in warmer climates, while the increase in wingspan could aid in their ability to find food and mates over larger areas as habitats shift.” However, the researchers also warned that these changes could have negative consequences for some bird species. For instance, smaller-bodied songbirds may have less energy to bear the delicate balance of competition for resources. A bird with a changed wingspan might find it more difficult to compete with its peers for limited food sources or nesting sites. Additionally, as the predator-prey (捕食者与猎物) relationship is often based on the birds’ original physical feature, the new wingspan characteristics could also impact their ability to avoid predators. 28. What did the researchers from the universities do? A. They investigated the differences between birds. B. They studied bird migration patterns over 40 years. C. They analyzed data on many birds of varied species. D. They observed bird behavior during warmer climates. 29. Why do birds’ wingspans increase slightly? A. To fly faster and higher in warm climates. B. To attract mates by enlarging their bodies. C. To adapt well to the changing environment. D. To improve the predator avoidance abilities. 30. What do Dr. Ryan Norris’s remarks convey? A. Birds are seldom sensitive to warming climate. B. Rising temperatures affect bird size and wingspan. C. The habitat changing primarily pushes bird evolution. D. An increased size in wingspan is mainly for food competition. 31. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Birds will be free from their predators. B. Large bird species may become extinct. C. Birds will have even more food sources. D. Some birds may face survival challenges. D A new study reveals a breakthrough in the field of snakebite treatment. Researchers, led by David Baker from the University of Washington, have designed new proteins — unlike any found in nature — that can inactivate (使……灭活) some of the most poisonous components of snakebite toxins. Snakebites represent a substantial global health issue, affecting millions of people each year. According to the World Health Organization, over 2 million people suffer from snakebites annually, with more than 100, 000 deaths and 300, 000 cases of permanent disabilities. Current treatment options, mainly obtained from animal blood, often present weaknesses, including high production costs, limited efficiency, and severe side effects, such as causing shock and breathing difficulties. With these challenges, Baker and his team have made effective use of deep learning tools to develop artificial proteins capable of attaching to and inactivating toxins. The study focuses on a specific group of snake proteins known as three-finger toxins. These toxins often avoid the immune system (免疫系统), making traditional treatments ineffective. Notably, the newly designed proteins provide significant protection against deadly amounts of three-finger toxins in mice, achieving survival rates ranging from 80% to 100%. By avoiding the lengthy and resource-intensive processes associated with traditional antibody development, this approach could lead to more accessible and affordable treatments. Also, the new proteins are smaller, allowing for greater penetration (渗透) into body systems to quickly inactivate the toxins and reduce damage. The efficiency and speed at which these proteins can be designed and produced using AI indicate a transformative shift in drug discovery processes, especially in resource-limited settings. While the study’s findings are encouraging, the researchers acknowledge that traditional antitoxins will remain central to snakebite treatment for the near future. The newly created computer-designed antitoxins can be integrated into existing treatment as additions, enhancing the overall effectiveness of established treatments. Meanwhile, scientists believe the new method employed in this study could be beneficial to tackling other diseases, potentially leading to the emergence of less expensive medicines for various health challenges. 32. Which is a disadvantage of the current snakebite treatments? A. They mainly rely on animal blood. B. They can lead to serious health risks. C. They are effective only in certain regions. D. They may leave toxins in patients’ bodies. 33. How did Baker’s team deal with the current challenges? A. By inventing deep learning tools. B. By identifying more snake toxins. C. By enhancing the immune system. D. By designing AI-generated proteins. 34. What aspect of Baker’s study is talked about in paragraph 4? A. Its advantages. B. Its strategies. C. Its procedures. D. Its limitations. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The traditional treatments are out of date. B. The existing approaches are hard to change. C. The new method might inspire other treatments. D. The new antitoxins will be the core of future methods. 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。 When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate? It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren't interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. ___36___ But understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help. Scientists have looked at what makes us delay and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. ___37___ Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is the best for concentration, or a gentle background music is great! It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand. ___38___ Scientists are increasingly interested in our ability to settle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says, “Attention researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer. ___39___ These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you're not attracted by other things, or chewing some gum! It's possible that the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted. But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn't all bad. “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we'd miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. ___40___ ” A. Distraction is vital for survival. B. Daydreaming can sometimes boost creativity. C. Listening to energetic music aids in concentration. D. One of the most obvious things is removing noise. E. Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life. F. There are more practical tips on keeping your mind focused. G. Another possible cure for a short attention duration is brain training. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When Ella determined to improve her health in late 2024, taking up running was an effortless choice.

Recently, at a secondhand market, he chanced upon an old bicycle wheel, a faded metal milk box, an antique lamp and some old clothes, picturing all the possibilities they held. My parents have a neighbor named Helen Fox, a 90-year-old lady living alone. Alongside several other neighbors, my parents offer to look after Helen, ensuring that she feels loved and backed. Helen has long been troubled by her mailbox. For some reason, it was located down a rather steep （陡峭的） driveway off a busy highway, posing a daily danger for her to fetch her mail. Moreover, the mailbox was old, as if it had experienced numerous violent impacts. Its once-bright red paint had faded to a dull pink. The door was loosely attached, creaking （嘎吱作响） whenever the wind blew. The letters on it had become faint over the years: the “F” was no longer distinct, the “O” had lost its shape, and the “X” was almost unrecognizable. Helen desired to replace it with a new one and relocate it, but she was at a loss as to how to start. Upon learning of this, my dad made it his mission to solve the problem. He first reached out to the local rural mail service to arrange for the relocation of Helen's mailbox. He also had a talk with Tom, their shared rural postman, explaining the approaching changes. A relatively safe place was easy to identify. However, the real challenge lay in finding a perfect mailbox. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon my dad drew his inspiration from the old items he had collected. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following day, my dad arrived at Helen's house with the new mailbox. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 郑州市2024-2025学年下期期末考试 高二英语试题卷 注意事项：本试卷分四部分，考试时间120分钟，满分150分。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上作答无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does Mr White want?

Some use their mobile phones while others come equipped with professional cameras, and sometimes even accompanied by their recording team. A recent trending topic on Sina Weibo—about why filming or taking photos in stores is becoming a bother—has generated a heated discussion. For a long time, it was seen as mutual (相互的) advantages for both customers and store owners when people posted photos or videos online, sharing their experiences and review s of various shops. Customers could gather useful information about stores before visiting, and some might be influenced by popular trends when picking restaurants or travel spots. Meanwhile, owners often saw their customer numbers double quickly, all thanks to a video showing the food, service and atmosphere. Some stores even set up special zones with stylish decorations for customers to take photos. However, more stores are now shutting their doors to customers who only come in to take pictures or shoot videos for social media. “A group of people will order just one cup of coffee, grab the best seats and spend five to six hours taking photos or filming,” a restaurant owner in Wuhan grumbled online. “They move tables and chairs without asking and leave tripods, lights, makeup and clothes everywhere.” Many owners have noticed that these customers ruin the experience of others. Some said their regular customers stopped coming because they felt they had to be cautious while enjoying their coffee to avoid ending up in someone’s video. Others noted that these influencers took up multiple seats for hours, leaving no space for customers who actually wanted to enjoy a meal or a drink. “In societies dominated by modern conditions of production, life is presented as a collection of numerous large-scale visual scenes,” wrote French philosopher Guy Debord in his book The Society of the Spectacle. He argued that mass media turns reality into a never-ending series of packaged moments, pushing us to focus on looks. “As individuals in the digital age, we also need to learn self-control,” commented People’s Daily. “Beyond the virtual world, there are moments in life that should be felt and remembered with the soul, not through a phone.” 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The effects of online sharing on store owners. B. The reasons why customers posted photos online. C. The benefits of postings for customers and stores. D. The ways that store owners improved their service. 25. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Complained. B. Stressed. C. Discovered. D. Evaluated. 26. What is Guy Debord’s view about modern society? A. It overstresses appearances. B. It overvalues online content. C. It focuses too much on productivity. D. It limits creativity and self-expression. 27. What advice does People’s Daily give to people in the digital age? A. Counting less on technology. B. Having a sense of boundaries. C. Avoiding sharing moments online. D. Experiencing life fully and sincerely. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了当下在餐厅或咖啡馆等店铺内拍照、录像行为引发的争议。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“For a long time, it was seen as mutual (相互的) advantages for both customers and store owners when people posted photos or videos online, sharing their experiences and review s of various shops. Customers could gather useful information about stores before visiting, and some might be influenced by popular trends when picking restaurants or travel spots. Meanwhile, owners often saw their customer numbers double quickly, all thanks to a video showing the food, service and atmosphere. (很长一段时间以来，人们在网上发布照片或视频，分享他们对不同商店的体验和评价，这被视为对顾客和店主都有利。顾客可以在逛商店之前收集有用的信息，有些人在选择餐馆或旅游景点时可能会受到流行趋势的影响。与此同时，店主们经常发现他们的顾客数量迅速翻了一番，这都要归功于一段展示食物、服务和氛围的视频。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是帖子对客户和商店的好处。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“They move tables and chairs without asking and leave tripods, lights, makeup and clothes everywhere. (他们不经允许就移动桌椅，把三脚架、灯、化妆品和衣服扔得到处都是。)”可知，这是一家餐馆的老板在网上抱怨，grumbled的意思是“抱怨”，和Complained意思相近。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“He argued that mass media turns reality into a never-ending series of packaged moments, pushing us to focus on looks. (他认为，大众媒体把现实变成了一系列永无止境的打包时刻，迫使我们把注意力集中在外表上。)”可知，Guy Debord对现代社会的看法是它过分强调外表。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““As individuals in the digital age, we also need to learn self-control,” commented People’s Daily. “Beyond the virtual world, there are moments in life that should be felt and remembered with the soul, not through a phone.” (“作为数字时代个体，我们也需要学会自我控制，”《人民日报》评论道。“在虚拟世界之外，生活中有些时刻应该用灵魂去感受和记住，而不是通过手机。”)”可知，《人民日报》对数字时代的人们的建议是充分真诚地体验生活。故选D。 C Climate change is having a far-reaching and significant impact on the world’s bird species, with a new study revealing that many are becoming smaller in size. This research provides crucial insights into the complex relationship between birds and their changing environment. Researchers from multiple famous universities, such as the University of Guelph and the University of Michigan, carefully examined data on nearly 80, 000 individual birds from 52 species across North America. Their in-depth study covered a period of over 40 years. During this period, as the global climate continued to warm, with average temperatures steadily rising, a remarkable trend emerged: the birds, on average, became smaller. In addition to the decrease in body size, the birds’ wingspans (翼幅) have also increased slightly. Scientists believe this is a natural way to survive. In warmer conditions, a larger wingspan can help birds generate more lift with less effort, enabling them to migrate more flexibly over long distances. The study’s lead author, Dr. Ryan Norris, noted that the changes in bird size and wingspan are highly likely a direct response to climate change. “Birds are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and these findings suggest that they are evolving (进化) in response to rising temperatures,” he said. “Smaller body size may help birds regulate their body temperature more effectively in warmer climates, while the increase in wingspan could aid in their ability to find food and mates over larger areas as habitats shift.” However, the researchers also warned that these changes could have negative consequences for some bird species. For instance, smaller-bodied songbirds may have less energy to bear the delicate balance of competition for resources. A bird with a changed wingspan might find it more difficult to compete with its peers for limited food sources or nesting sites. Additionally, as the predator-prey (捕食者与猎物) relationship is often based on the birds’ original physical feature, the new wingspan characteristics could also impact their ability to avoid predators. 28. What did the researchers from the universities do? A. They investigated the differences between birds. B. They studied bird migration patterns over 40 years. C. They analyzed data on many birds of varied species. D. They observed bird behavior during warmer climates. 29. Why do birds’ wingspans increase slightly? A. To fly faster and higher in warm climates. B. To attract mates by enlarging their bodies. C. To adapt well to the changing environment. D. To improve the predator avoidance abilities. 30. What do Dr. Ryan Norris’s remarks convey? A. Birds are seldom sensitive to warming climate. B. Rising temperatures affect bird size and wingspan. C The habitat changing primarily pushes bird evolution. D. An increased size in wingspan is mainly for food competition. 31. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Birds will be free from their predators. B. Large bird species may become extinct. C. Birds will have even more food sources. D. Some birds may face survival challenges. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化对鸟类体型和翼展的影响，以及科学家对此现象的研究和解释。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Researchers from multiple famous universities, such as the University of Guelph and the University of Michigan, carefully examined data on nearly 80,000 individual birds from 52 species across North America. (来自多所著名大学的研究人员，如圭尔夫大学和密歇根大学，仔细研究了北美52种鸟类近8万只个体的数据)”可知，研究人员分析了大量不同种类鸟类的数据。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In warmer conditions, a larger wingspan can help birds generate more lift with less effort, enabling them to migrate more flexibly over long distances. (在更温暖的环境中，更大的翼展可以帮助鸟类更省力地产生升力，使它们能够更灵活地进行长距离迁徙)”可知，鸟类翼展的增加是为了更好地适应环境变化。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“The study’s lead author, Dr. Ryan Norris, noted that the changes in bird size and wingspan are highly likely a direct response to climate change. “Birds are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and these findings suggest that they are evolving (进化) in response to rising temperatures,” he said. (该研究的首席作者瑞安·诺里斯博士指出，鸟类体型和翼展的变化极可能是对气候变化的直接反应。“鸟类对环境变化高度敏感，这些发现表明它们正在因气温上升而发生进化，”他说道)”可知，气温上升影响了鸟类的体型和翼展。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For instance, smaller-bodied songbirds may have less energy to bear the delicate balance of competition for resources. A bird with a changed wingspan might find it more difficult to compete with its peers for limited food sources or nesting sites. Additionally, as the predator-prey ( 捕食者与猎物) relationship is often based on the birds’ original physical feature, the new wingspan characteristics could also impact their ability to avoid predators. (例如，体型较小的鸣禽可能没有足够的能量来维持资源竞争的微妙平衡。翼展改变的鸟类可能会发现与同伴竞争有限的食物来源或筑巢地点更加困难。此外，由于捕食者与猎物的关系通常是基于鸟类原有的身体特征，新的翼展特征也可能影响它们躲避捕食者的能力)”可知，一些鸟类可能面临生存挑战。故选D项。 D A new study reveals a breakthrough in the field of snakebite treatment. Researchers, led by David Baker from the University of Washington, have designed new proteins — unlike any found in nature — that can inactivate (使……灭活) some of the most poisonous components of snakebite toxins. Snakebites represent a substantial global health issue, affecting millions of people each year. According to the World Health Organization, over 2 million people suffer from snakebites annually, with more than 100, 000 deaths and 300, 000 cases of permanent disabilities. Current treatment options, mainly obtained from animal blood, often present weaknesses, including high production costs, limited efficiency, and severe side effects, such as causing shock and breathing difficulties. With these challenges, Baker and his team have made effective use of deep learning tools to develop artificial proteins capable of attaching to and inactivating toxins. The study focuses on a specific group of snake proteins known as three-finger toxins. These toxins often avoid the immune system (免疫系统), making traditional treatments ineffective. Notably, the newly designed proteins provide significant protection against deadly amounts of three-finger toxins in mice, achieving survival rates ranging from 80% to 100%. By avoiding the lengthy and resource-intensive processes associated with traditional antibody development, this approach could lead to more accessible and affordable treatments. Also, the new proteins are smaller, allowing for greater penetration (渗透) into body systems to quickly inactivate the toxins and reduce damage. The efficiency and speed at which these proteins can be designed and produced using AI indicate a transformative shift in drug discovery processes, especially in resource-limited settings. While the study’s findings are encouraging, the researchers acknowledge that traditional antitoxins will remain central to snakebite treatment for the near future. The newly created computer-designed antitoxins can be integrated into existing treatment as additions, enhancing the overall effectiveness of established treatments. Meanwhile, scientists believe the new method employed in this study could be beneficial to tackling other diseases, potentially leading to the emergence of less expensive medicines for various health challenges. 32. Which is a disadvantage of the current snakebite treatments? A. They mainly rely on animal blood. B. They can lead to serious health risks. C. They are effective only in certain regions. D. They may leave toxins in patients’ bodies. 33. How did Baker’s team deal with the current challenges? A. By inventing deep learning tools. B. By identifying more snake toxins. C. By enhancing the immune system. D. By designing AI-generated proteins. 34. What aspect of Baker’s study is talked about in paragraph 4? A. Its advantages. B. Its strategies. C. Its procedures. D. Its limitations. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The traditional treatments are out of date. B. The existing approaches are hard to change. C. The new method might inspire other treatments. D. The new antitoxins will be the core of future methods. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35.

It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand. ___38___ Scientists are increasingly interested in our ability to settle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says, “Attention researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer. ___39___ These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you're not attracted by other things, or chewing some gum! It's possible that the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted. But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn't all bad. “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we'd miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. ___40___ ” A. Distraction is vital for survival. B. Daydreaming can sometimes boost creativity. C. Listening to energetic music aids in concentration. D. One of the most obvious things is removing noise. E Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life. F. There are more practical tips on keeping your mind focused. G. Another possible cure for a short attention duration is brain training. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. G 39. F 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了人们在生活和工作中总是会分心，科学家分析出导致分心的原因，并且找到了一些帮助人们保持专注力的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren't interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about.”（如果你对你正在学习的东西不感兴趣，或者你有更好的事情要想，你很容易走神。）可知，在工作和学习中，人们很容易走神；再根据下文“But understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help. ”（但是了解如何去做，知道是什么让你分心，会有所帮助。）可知，But表转折，说明只要找出分心的原因，明白该怎么做，就会对你集中注意力有帮助，这里的it就是指代选项中的Staying focused。因此E. Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life.（在成年人的生活中，保持专注仍然是一个挑战。）起着承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Scientists have looked at what makes us delay and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone.”（科学家们研究了导致我们延迟的原因，并找到了一些帮助我们保持状态的方法。）可知，科学家找到了一些方法让我们保持专注；再根据下文“Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is the best for concentration, or a gentle background music is great! It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand. ”（《科学焦点》杂志的研究发现，安静最有利于集中注意力，或者轻柔的背景音乐也很棒！研究还发现，关闭手机上的通知，或者完全关闭它，可以消除一个主要的干扰，帮助我们专注于手头的任务。）可知，这里具体阐述了安静最有利于集中注意力。因此D .One of the most obvious things is removing noise.（最明显的一件事就是去除噪音。）起着承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选D项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“Scientists are increasingly interested in our ability to settle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate.”（科学家们对我们安定下来的能力越来越感兴趣，并研究了我们可以改变大脑内部的什么来让我们集中注意力。）；以及下文“Attention researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.”（伦敦大学学院专注力研究员Nilli Lavie发现让一项任务在视觉上要求更高，需要更多的处理能力，让大脑没有任何东西可以处理分心的事情。）可知，让大脑忙碌起来是保持专注力的一种方法。因此G. Another possible cure for a short attention duration is brain training.（另一种治疗注意力持续时间短的方法是大脑训练。）引出下文，符合语境。故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you're not attracted by other things, or chewing some gum!”（这些方法包括列出你必须完成的任务的清单或时间表，找一个你不会被其他事情吸引的工作空间，或者嚼口香糖！）可知，这些都是举例来帮助你保持专注力的方法。因此F. There are more practical tips on keeping your mind focused.（关于保持注意力集中还有更多实用的建议。）起着总领本段落的作用，引领下文，符合语境。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn't all bad. “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we'd miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment.”（但根据《科学焦点》杂志的说法，分心并不全是坏事。“如果我们总是如此专注，从不分心，我们就会错过环境中的潜在变化，比如威胁。）可知，如果在生活中太专注了，就不会注意到身边潜在的威胁，有可能会危及生命。因此A. Distraction is vital for survival.（分心对生存至关重要。）起着总结作用，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When Ella determined to improve her health in late 2024, taking up running was an effortless choice.

He is a keen collector who constantly searches for old items with the aim of reusing them. He firmly believes that with a touch of creativity, these forgotten objects can be transformed into something both useful and novel. Recently, at a secondhand market, he chanced upon an old bicycle wheel, a faded metal milk box, an antique lamp and some old clothes, picturing all the possibilities they held. My parents have a neighbor named Helen Fox, a 90-year-old lady living alone. Alongside several other neighbors, my parents offer to look after Helen, ensuring that she feels loved and backed. Helen has long been troubled by her mailbox. For some reason, it was located down a rather steep （陡峭的） driveway off a busy highway, posing a daily danger for her to fetch her mail. Moreover, the mailbox was old, as if it had experienced numerous violent impacts. Its once-bright red paint had faded to a dull pink. The door was loosely attached, creaking （嘎吱作响） whenever the wind blew. The letters on it had become faint over the years: the “F” was no longer distinct, the “O” had lost its shape, and the “X” was almost unrecognizable. Helen desired to replace it with a new one and relocate it, but she was at a loss as to how to start. Upon learning of this, my dad made it his mission to solve the problem. He first reached out to the local rural mail service to arrange for the relocation of Helen's mailbox. He also had a talk with Tom, their shared rural postman, explaining the approaching changes. A relatively safe place was easy to identify. However, the real challenge lay in finding a perfect mailbox. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon my dad drew his inspiration from the old items he had collected. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following day, my dad arrived at Helen's house with the new mailbox. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】示例： Soon my dad drew his inspiration from the old items he had collected. He realized the old metal milk box could be the perfect base for a new mailbox. He spent hours in his workshop cleaning the milk box thoroughly, removing years of dirt. Then came the transformation process, in which he repainted it bright red, and added some decorative elements using other old items. To personalize it, he painted the letters “FOX” white clearly on the side. After days of effort, he finally turned the old milk box into a charming and solid mailbox. The following day, my dad arrived at Helen’s house with the new mailbox. Helen was surprised when she saw it. “It’s amazing! You’re so creative and thoughtful! ” she said, her eyes shining brightly with delight. Moments later, my dad and a neighbor quickly fixed the mailbox in a new, safer location. From that day on, collecting mail was no longer a concern to her. Every time she saw the mailbox, it served as a touching reminder of her neighbors’ kindness, particularly Collector Frank’s. The new mailbox soon became a symbol of the warm-hearted community spirit. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的父亲“Collector Frank”利用收集的旧物品为独居老人Helen改造并安装新邮箱的故事，展现了社区中邻里互助的温暖和创造力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快，爸爸从他收集的旧物品中获得了灵感。”以及第二段首句内容“第二天，爸爸带着新邮箱来到了海伦家。”可知，第一段可描写作者的父亲如何利用旧金属牛奶箱制作新邮箱的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，爸爸带着新邮箱来到了海伦家。”可知，第二段可描写作者的父亲将新邮箱送给Helen，Helen感到惊喜和感激，以及新邮箱成为社区温暖精神的象征。 2.续写线索：父亲从旧物品中获得灵感——将旧牛奶箱变成一个迷人而坚固的邮箱——父亲带着新邮箱来到Helen家——Helen感到惊喜和感激——父亲和邻居迅速将邮箱固定在新的安全位置——新邮箱成为社区温暖精神的象征。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②去除：remove/get rid of ③固定：fix/fasten 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/amazed ②高兴：delight/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He spent hours in his workshop cleaning the milk box thoroughly, removing years of dirt.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Every time she saw the mailbox, it served as a touching reminder of her neighbors’ kindness, particularly Collector Frank’s.（运用了every time引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
