From geological wonders to marvels of engineering, they could be your next vacation. Here are some incredible global treasures to get you going. Watch shadow puppets in Indonesia. Shadows come to life in the artful hands of an Indonesian Dalang, an expert storyteller who makes the puppets move behind a screen that has a light behind it. This creates exciting shadow plays that entertain kids and grown-ups alike. It’s also on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage that help tell the tale of our shared humanity. Spot wildlife wonders in Botswana. The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is one of southern Africa’s most biodiverse freshwater watersheds and a dream destination for animal lovers of all ages. The delta sustains the planet’s most endangered animals. From navigating canals in canoes to camping in nearby national parks, a family-friendly safari here can excite even the most jaded teen. See Northern Ireland’s coastal wonderland. Giantf ‘s Causeway is a volcanic formation of nearly 40,000 hexagonal columns (六角形柱子), created 60 million years ago. According to legend, this geological marvel is the handiwork of mythical warrior Finn McCool, who built a bridge across the Irish Sea to attack enemies in the Scottish Hebrides. It’s a World Heritage site uniquely suited to spark the imagination of children while offering a fascinating experience for the whole family. Camp in a biosphere (生物圈) in Mexico. Sian Ka’an, which means “origin of the sky” in Maya language, is a 1.3-million-acre biosphere reserve on the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Extending from tropical forests to coral reefs along the coast, the reserve counts sea turtles, crocodiles, spider monkeys, nurse sharks, and flamingos as local residents. Families can rent beachside tent cabins and book kayaking, fly-fishing, cenote snorkeling, and canal tours within the reserve. 1. Where can children appreciate the incredible intangible cultural heritage? A. Indonesia. B. Botswana. C. Mexico. D. Northern Ireland. 2. Which activity is NOT mentioned in Sian Ka’an, Mexico? A. Kayaking in coastal waters. B. Camping in tent cabins. C. Snorkeling in natural pools. D. Hiking through rainforest. 3. What do the four heritages have in common? A. Protect endangered species. B. Offer family-friendly experiences. C. Feature volcanic formations. D. Include water activities. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四处适合家庭游玩的世界遗产。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Watch shadow puppets in Indonesia部分“It’s also on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage that help tell the tale of our shared humanity.(它还被列入了联合国教科文组织的非物质文化遗产名录，有助于讲述我们人类共有的故事)”可知，印度尼西亚的皮影戏属于联合国教科文组织的非物质文化遗产，故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Camp in a biosphere in Mexico部分“Families can rent beachside tent cabins and book kayaking, fly-fishing, cenote snorkeling, and canal tours within the reserve.(家庭可以租用海滨帐篷小屋，预订皮划艇、飞钓、天然井浮潜和保护区内的运河之旅)”可知，在雨林中徒步旅行没有提到。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Watch shadow puppets in Indonesia.部分中的“This creates exciting shadow plays that entertain kids and grown-ups alike.(这便创造出了一些引人入胜的皮影戏，既能给孩子们带来乐趣，也能让成年人感到愉悦)”；Spot wildlife wonders in Botswana.部分中的“From navigating canals in canoes to camping in nearby national parks, a family-friendly safari here can excite even the most jaded teen.(从乘坐独木舟穿梭于运河之中，到在附近的国家公园里露营，这里为家庭打造的探险之旅甚至能让最厌倦的青少年也兴奋不已)”；See Northern Ireland’s coastal wonderland.部分中的“It’s a World Heritage site uniquely suited to spark the imagination of children while offering a fascinating experience for the whole family.(这是一个世界遗产地，它特别适合激发孩子们的想象力，同时也能为全家人带来一场精彩绝伦的体验)”以及Camp in a biosphere (生物圈) in Mexico.部分中的“Families can rent beachside tent cabins and book kayaking, fly-fishing, cenote snorkeling, and canal tours within the reserve.(家庭可以租用海滨的帐篷式小屋，并预订诸如皮划艇、垂钓、溶洞浮潜以及运河游览等项目，这些活动都在保护区范围内提供)”可知，四个活动都家庭友好，故选B。 B Fast food has become our common partner in the modern life. But we may be unaware of how it is reshaping our culture and the way we interact in society. Fast food has been gradually replacing the traditional family meal. Dinner used to be a time to slow down, when kids learned from their parents. Today, quality has given way to speed. The phrase “fast-food culture” extends beyond meals — it represents a way of life where patience has become a thing of the past. In addition, the global spread of fast food has led to sameness across borders. Fast food chains offer almost the same menu whether you’re in Mumbai or Miami. They’re like a bulldozer (推土机). It flattens varied cooking traditions and replaces them with a one-size-fits-all offering. Fast food, despite its convenience, often comes at a cost. Fast-food chains are often found in lower-income neighborhoods. This has created “food deserts” areas where affordable, healthy food is limited. The result is a vicious cycle (恶性循环). Those who can least afford the health impacts of bad eating habits end up eating the most fast food. When people say you are what you eat, it’s not just about physical health. It’s also about the social structures. Fast-food culture worsens the unfairness already present in our society. We may not be able to completely avoid fast food. After all, it has its place in a modern, fast- paced world. However, recognizing its harm to health and social structures is the first step towards change. It’s time we treated food as more than just a short stop to rest and eat in our busy day. Its meaning lies in the richness of our traditions, the diversity of our cultures, and the relationships we develop. Let’s not let fast food take this away from us. 4. What does “fast-food culture” represent? A. A way of slow life. B. A lack of patience. C. A focus on quality. D. A return to traditions. 5. Why does the author compare fast-food chains to a bulldozer? A. They reduce food cultural diversity. B. They develop better eating habits. C. They promote local food traditions. D. They gain worldwide popularity. 6. What does the underlined phrase “a vicious cycle” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Poor people eat more fast food. B. Healthy food becomes expensive. C. The gap between rich and poor widens. D. Fast food does harm to physical health. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards fast food? A. Completely negative and viewing it dangerous. B. Extremely doubtful and not caring about it. C. Supportive but warning of its harmful effects. D. Concerned but recognizing its practical value. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了快餐文化正重塑生活方式、削弱文化多样性并加剧社会不公，呼吁重视其负面影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The phrase “fast-food culture” extends beyond meals — it represents a way of life where patience has become a thing of the past. (“快餐文化”一词不仅仅局限于餐饮——它代表了一种生活方式，在这种生活方式中，耐心已经成为过去。)”可知，“快餐文化”代表着缺乏耐心。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They’re like a bulldozer (推土机). It flattens varied cooking traditions and replaces them with a one-size-fits-all offering. (它们就像推土机一样。它抹平了各种各样的烹饪传统，取而代之的是一刀切的做法。)”可知，作者将快餐连锁店比作推土机是因为它们减少了食物文化的多样性。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This has created “food deserts” areas where affordable, healthy food is limited. The result is a vicious cycle (恶性循环). Those who can least afford the health impacts of bad eating habits end up eating the most fast food. (这造成了“食物荒漠”——人们很难获得负担得起的健康食品。其结果是一个a vicious cycle。那些最负担不起不良饮食习惯对健康影响的人最终却吃了最多的快餐。)”可知，由于很难获得负担得起的健康食品，最负担不起不良饮食习惯对健康影响的人，即穷人最终却吃了最多的快餐，从而进一步危害健康，由此可推知，a vicious cycle指的是“穷人吃更多的快餐”。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We may not be able to completely avoid fast food. After all, it has its place in a modern, fast- paced world. However, recognizing its harm to health and social structures is the first step towards change. (我们可能无法完全避免快餐。毕竟，它在现代快节奏的世界中有一席之地。然而，认识到它对健康和社会结构的危害是改变的第一步。)”可知，作者认为快餐在现代快节奏的世界中有一席之地，但同时也认识到它对健康和社会结构的危害，由此可推知，作者对快餐的态度是“既担忧又认可其实用价值”。故选D项。 C “Our history and culture is very important to understanding the present moment and where we’re heading in the future.” said Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday. Cook highlighted technology’s role in expanding the audience for traditional culture after watching a Kunqu Opera performance, saying, “What technology does and what our products do is help expand the audience for traditional culture.” The event featured a performance of a classic excerpt (节选) from the 400-year-old Peony Pavilion by the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre. Model-actress and director Chang Chunxiao presented her iPhone-shot short documentary, The People in the Time Tunnel, which reveals behind-the-scenes stories of the theater’s new interpretation of the opera. Cook remarked on the power of video to share such cultural experiences globally: “Only a few of us could fit in the theater and enjoy it, but with the video we’re able to capture that for the world. It enables us to connect with our history in a much deeper way and with many more people.” Cook expressed his personal admiration for Chinese calligraphy, calling it “one of the most beautiful art forms in the world,” and stressed the importance of its preservation. He underlined the broader significance of safeguarding history and culture in a nation with 5,000 years of heritage, noting that “There’s so much in the past that can be learned from and used to make our lives better in the present moment.” Addressing the current trend of artificial intelligence, Cook expressed his view on technology’s purpose: enriching lives, enhancing productivity, and boosting creativity. He firmly asserted technology’s supplementary role: “But it does not and it should not replace human being. It’s a complement rather than a replacement.” 8. What is the main function of Cook’s words in Paragraph 1? A. Highlight commercial gains. B. Provide false statistics. C. Contrast tradition with innovation. D. Present Cook’s major argument. 9. What key role does Cook see for video technology? A. Enhancing theatrical performances. B. Globalizing cultural experiences. C. Replacing physical attendance. D. Simplifying artistic creation. 10. What is implied by Cook’s reference to China’s 5,000-year heritage? A. Technology must reproduce historical models to ensure progress. B. Modern societies neglect ancestral wisdom in solving current issues. C. Historical heritage provides applicable insights for present improvement. D. Cultural preservation holds back technological advancement. 11. What is Cook’s core belief regarding artificial intelligence? A. Human creativity becoming outdated. B. Enhancing, not replacing humanity. C. Automating tasks for efficiency. D. Ethics blocking AI contributions. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了苹果CEO库克谈科技对传统文化的推广作用及对人工智能的看法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Our history and culture is very important to understanding the present moment and where we’re heading in the future.” said Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday. Cook highlighted technology’s role in expanding the audience for traditional culture after watching a Kunqu Opera performance, saying, “What technology does and what our products do is help expand the audience for traditional culture.” (“我们的历史和文化对于理解当下以及我们未来的方向非常重要。”苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克周一表示。库克在观看了一场昆曲表演后，强调了科技在扩大传统文化受众方面的作用，他说：“科技和我们的产品所做的，就是帮助扩大传统文化的受众。”)”可知，库克在第一段主要强调了历史和文化的重要性，以及科技在扩大传统文化受众方面的作用，这是他的主要论点。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ Cook remarked on the power of video to share such cultural experiences globally: “Only a few of us could fit in the theater and enjoy it, but with the video we’re able to capture that for the world. It enables us to connect with our history in a much deeper way and with many more people.” (库克谈到了视频在全球范围内分享这种文化体验的力量：“我们中只有少数人能挤进剧院欣赏，但有了视频，我们就能为全世界捕捉到这一刻。它使我们能够以更深入的方式与历史联系，并与更多的人建立联系。”)”可知，库克认为视频技术可以让更多的人在全球范围内分享这种文化体验，即视频技术可以让文化体验全球化。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He underlined the broader significance of safeguarding history and culture in a nation with 5,000 years of heritage, noting that “There’s so much in the past that can be learned from and used to make our lives better in the present moment.” (他强调了在一个拥有5000年历史遗产的国家中保护历史和文化的更广泛意义，指出“过去有很多东西可以学习并用来改善我们当下的生活。”)”可知，库克提到中国5000年的历史遗产，是为了强调历史遗产对于当下生活的改善有可借鉴之处。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Addressing the current trend of artificial intelligence, Cook expressed his view on technology’s purpose: enriching lives, enhancing productivity, and boosting creativity. He firmly asserted technology’s supplementary role: “But it does not and it should not replace human being. It’s a complement rather than a replacement.” (针对当前人工智能的发展趋势，库克表达了他对科技目的的看法：丰富生活、提高生产力和激发创造力。他坚定地强调了科技的辅助作用：“但它没有，也不应该取代人类。它是一种补充，而不是替代。”)”可知，库克认为人工智能的目的是丰富生活、提高生产力和激发创造力，它是一种补充，而不是替代人类，即增强而不是取代人类。故选B。 D Microplastics — plastic particles (微粒) smaller than 5 mm — are spreading rapidly in the environment due to rising global plastic use. By 2023, over 300 million tons of plastic have been produced annually, with 2.5 million tons floating in oceans, a tenfold increase since 2005. A study in Nature Medicine showed alarming findings: microplastics and nanoplastics build up more in the human brain than in the liver or kidneys (肾脏). Researchers studied organs from 91 dead individuals (1997 — 2022) and found plastics in all brain samples. The highest concentration reached 0.48% of brain tissue (≈2 grams, similar to a plastic spoon’s weight), with recent deaths showing a sharp rise. Microplastics’ fat loving nature allows them to stick to the brain’s fatty tissues (60% of its composition). Particularly, Alzheimer’s patients had the highest plastic levels. Scientists come up with two theories: plastics may cause dementia, or diseased brains lose the ability to remove waste. Duke University neuroscientist Andrew West explains that our brains have a natural cleaning system using fluid that works during sleep. But too many plastics can damage this system. Nanoplastics enter the body through bottled water, food packaging, seafood, airborne particles, and heated plastic containers. Global plastic waste, which could wrap the Earth in 2016, has since grown by 50%. As plastics break down, they form particles entering organs. The study uncovered uncertainties: brains contained polyethylene (PE) (聚乙烯) (from milk bottles) but almost no PET (聚酯) plastic (common in water bottles), despite PET’s importance in blood. This puzzles scientists, highlighting gaps in understanding plastic behavior in the body. US federal funding cuts further hold back research, though students increasingly pursue this field to address the crisis. The microplastics’ link to Alzheimer’s remains unproven. Scientists urge calm but stress lifestyle changes. They suggest three things: avoid heating food in plastic, use glass containers, and reduce packaged foods. 12. How are microplastics described in terms of size? A. More than 5 millimeters. B. Less than 5 millimeters. C. More than 1 millimeter. D. Less than 1,000 nanometers. 13. Why do microplastics build up easily in the brain? A. Brain tissue has high water content. B. Microplastics are fat-attracting. C. The brain has a poor self-cleaning function. D. Nanoplastics are smaller in size. 14. Which of the following is NOT listed as a preventive measure? A. Avoid heating food in plastic containers. B. Reduce the use of packaged foods. C. Replace plastic bottles with glass cups. D. Ban entirely all plastic production. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Microplastics: Unseen Invaders in the Human Brain B. Plastic Waste: Rising Threats to Global Oceans C. Nanoparticles: Hidden Dangers in Human Health D. Alzheimer’s Disease: New Findings from Modern Research 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章揭示了微塑料在环境中的扩散及其对人体，尤其是大脑的渗透，研究还发现阿尔茨海默病患者大脑中微塑料含量最高，科学家建议减少塑料接触以降低风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Microplastics — plastic particles (微粒) smaller than 5 mm — are spreading rapidly in the environment due to rising global plastic use. (微塑料——指尺寸小于5毫米的塑料颗粒——随着全球塑料用量的增加正在环境中快速扩散。)”可知，微塑料是指尺寸小于5毫米的塑料颗粒。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Microplastics’ fat loving nature allows them to stick to the brain’s fatty tissues (60% of its composition). (微塑料的亲脂性使其易于附着于占大脑成分60%的脂肪组织。)”可知，微塑料容易在大脑中积聚是因为它们是亲脂性的。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They suggest three things: avoid heating food in plastic, use glass containers, and reduce packaged foods. (他们建议采取三项措施：避免用塑料加热食物、使用玻璃容器、减少包装食品的摄入。)”可知，完全禁止塑料生产并未在预防措施中提到。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“A study in Nature Medicine showed alarming findings: microplastics and nanoplastics build up more in the human brain than in the liver or kidneys (肾脏). (《自然·医学》期刊的一项研究揭示了令人震惊的发现：微塑料和纳米塑料在人脑中的积累量远超肝脏或肾脏。)”可知，文章聚焦微塑料进入大脑这一问题，讨论了其成因、潜在风险、理论解释和目前的困惑，并给出预防措施。因此，A项“微塑料：人脑中看不见的入侵者”点明了核心问题，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题 满分12.5分） Building self-esteem (自尊) is significant because it directly impacts how you view and care for yourself, influencing your overall well-being.

Of course, breaking your comfort shell doesn’t mean throwing yourself into highly dangerous situations. Stop comparing yourself to others. Your progress and self-worth shouldn’t be connected to how well other people are doing.

High self-esteem often reflects healthy self-care practices.(建立自尊很重要，因为它直接影响你如何看待和照顾自己，影响你的整体幸福感。高自尊通常反映出健康的自我照顾习惯)”强调了建立自尊的重要性，D选项“However, it’s no easy task to build healthy self-esteem.(然而，建立健康的自尊并非易事)”与上文构成转折关系，引出下文要介绍建立自尊的规则，上下文语意衔接自然。故选D项。 【17题详解】 上文“You can try keeping a journal of what you enjoyed or admired.(你可以试着记录下你喜欢或钦佩自己的事情)”建议记录自我优点，E选项“It works wonders for improving attitude towards your life.(这对改善你对生活的态度有奇效)”解释了这样做的好处，即能改善对生活的态度，句中“It”指代上文“keeping a journal of what you enjoyed or admired”这一行为。故选E项。 【18题详解】 下文“They often put helping others before their own mental health. This can lead to great stress and burnout at work or in life.(他们常常把帮助别人放在自己心理健康之前。这会导致工作或生活中的巨大压力和倦怠)”描述了一类人的行为及后果，F选项“People with poor self-esteem feel dutiful to say yes to requests.(自尊心差的人觉得有义务对别人的请求说“是”)”指出了这类人的特点，即自尊心差的人会觉得应该答应别人的请求，从而导致下文所说的情况，上下文逻辑连贯。故选F项。 【19题详解】 下文“Those with low self-esteem tend to avoid challenges and new opportunities. This can be due to fears or self-doubt. You should face difficulties bravely and try to pull through rough moments.(自尊心低的人往往会避免挑战和新机会。这可能是由于恐惧或自我怀疑。你应该勇敢地面对困难，努力度过艰难时刻)”强调要勇敢面对困难和挑战，A选项“Step out of your comfort zone.(走出你的舒适区)”与下文内容相符，即走出舒适区去面对挑战，上下文逻辑一致。故选A项。 【20题详解】 上文“It’s not easy to stop comparing yourself to others.(停止与他人比较并不容易)”指出停止比较的困难，C选项“Staying away from social media can help this effort.(远离社交媒体有助于做到这一点)”提出了解决办法，即远离社交媒体来避免比较，同时下文“Remind yourself that people only share the best parts of their life online.(提醒自己，人们只会在网上分享他们生活中最美好的部分)”说明为什么远离社交媒体可以避免比较，因为人们会在网上分享他们生活中最美好的部分，进而引发比较，上下文逻辑连贯。故选C项。 第二部分 语言运用（共三节 满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题 满分15分） Even as a child, I always loved the feeling of achieving things.

Version I AI has greatly changed our lives and studies. It helps us learn faster by providing quick answers and personalized suggestions. In daily life, AI assistants like Siri make tasks easier, from setting reminders to playing music. However, overusing AI can make us lazy and less creative. To use AI wisely, we should treat it as a tool, not a replacement for thinking. For example, when doing homework, try solving problems yourself before asking AI for help. Also, limit screen time to balance online and offline activities. In short, AI brings convenience, but we must use it properly to stay independent and creative.

But he didn’t make any sales. Feeling very sad, he almost wanted to give up. Also, his stomach was growling loudly because he hadn’t eaten for days. With no other option, he decided to ask for food at the next house. He was a bit scared as he knocked on the door, not sure what to say. When the door opened, a kind-looking young woman stood there. Howard got even more nervous. “Could… could you give me a drink of water?” he asked, looking down at his feet. The woman saw how thin and tired the boy was. She thought he needed something more than just water to feel better, so she brought him a glass of milk instead. Howard held the cup with his small hands and drank the milk slowly. Then he asked, “How much do I have to pay you?” The woman smiled kindly and said, “You don’t need to pay me anything. My mother always told me that we should help others without asking for money in return.” Howard was so touched. “Thank you so much!” he said with a big smile. As he walked away, he felt not only stronger in his body but also more hopeful about people. Many years passed. The kind young woman became very sick. The doctors in her small town couldn’t help her, so they sent her to a big hospital in the city. There, many famous doctors would try to cure her. One of them was Dr. Howard Kelly. When he heard where the sick woman came from, he remembered something important. He quickly got up and rushed to her room. 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。 Entering the room, Dr. Kelly saw the woman lying weakly on the bed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The bill (住院账单) was sent to her room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Version 1: Entering the room, Dr. Kelly saw the woman lying weakly on the bed. The instant he saw the pale face in the hospital bed, the memory of her warm smile washed over him. Half shocked, half concerned, he determined to bring her back to health and make her smile reappear. His urge to save the woman’s life drove him to make a detailed plan for her operation. Fortunately, the operation went successfully. Weeks later, with her face ruddy, she seemed to be in good condition. Before her discharge from the hospital, the woman asked for her bill. The bill was sent to her room. Not a single number did she find on the bill, only a picture of a glass of milk. With a confused expression, she saw a doctor stepping into her room. “How much should I pay?” knowing it must be loads of money, she dared not look directly into his eyes. “You needn’t pay for it. When I was young, one lady told me never to accept pay for a kindness.” Stepping forward, he placed his arms around the woman’s shoulder, with tears of happiness running down his face. Upon hearing that, it occurred to her suddenly that he was the very boy who asked her for a drink of water. Version 2: Entering the room, Dr. Kelly saw the woman lying weakly on the bed. A wave of concern washed over him as he approached. Initially failing to recognize the pale figure as the kind woman who once helped him, he focused on checking her vital signs, his brow furrowed in concentration. But as he examined her face more closely, memories flashed through his mind. His hands trembled slightly, realizing who she was. Determined to save her, he vowed to use all his medical skills. The bill was sent to her room. When she caught sight of the huge sum on the bill, her heart sank. A chill ran down her spine, thinking she could never afford it. Tears welled up in her eyes, filled with despair. Just then, Dr. Kelly walked in, holding the bill. Without a word, he tore it into small pieces, the sound of the paper ripping echoing in the quiet room. “You paid for my kindness with that milk long ago,” he said, a gentle smile on his face, “This is my way of showing my appreciation.” Overwhelmed with emotion, the woman burst into tears, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了贫穷的小男孩霍华德・凯利为支付学费挨家挨户推销商品却一无所获，饥寒交迫之际，他向一位年轻善良的女士讨水喝，女士却给了他一杯牛奶且分文未取。多年后，这位女士病重被转至大城市的大医院，而霍华德・凯利此时已是那里的医生。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走进病房，凯利医生看到那位女士虚弱地躺在床上。”可知，第一段可描写凯利医生进入病房后的情景。他看到病床上虚弱的女士，回忆涌上心头，决心治好她。他精心制定手术计划，手术成功，女士身体状况好转准备出院，引出下一段关于账单的情节。 ②由第二段首句内容“账单被送到了她的病房。”可知，第二段可描写女士收到账单的情景。账单上没有金额只有一杯牛奶的画，她疑惑时医生进来告知无需付费，她想起眼前的医生就是当年讨水喝的小男孩，体现善有善报的主题。 2续写线索：进入病房认出女士 —— 决心治好她并制定计划 —— 手术成功女士好转 —— 收到账单疑惑 —— 医生解释 —— 女士想起往事 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①涌上心头：wash over/flood over/sweep over ②决心做某事：determine to do /decide to do ③想起：occur to sb. /come to sb.’s mind 情绪类： ①幸福：happiness /joy /delight ②疑惑： confused/puzzled /bewildered 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The instant he saw the pale face in the hospital bed, the memory of her warm smile washed over him.（运用了the instant 引导的时间状语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】Not a single number did she find on the bill, only a picture of a glass of milk.（运用了否定词 not 置于句首，句子部分倒装 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025连云港市东海县第二学期期末学业质量监测 高一英语试题（笔试部分） 注意事项 1. 本试卷共8页，分3大部分，满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 2. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、考试号等用0.5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔填写在答题卡的规定位置。 3. 作答选择题，必须用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应选项的方框涂满、涂黑；如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。作答非选择题，必须用0.5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔在答题卡上的指定位置作答，在其他位置作答一律无效。 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题 满分37.5分） A World Heritage Wonders: Sparking Kids’ Imagination UNESCO has recognized more than a thousand cultural and natural places as World Heritages. From geological wonders to marvels of engineering, they could be your next vacation. Here are some incredible global treasures to get you going. Watch shadow puppets in Indonesia. Shadows come to life in the artful hands of an Indonesian Dalang, an expert storyteller who makes the puppets move behind a screen that has a light behind it. This creates exciting shadow plays that entertain kids and grown-ups alike. It’s also on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage that help tell the tale of our shared humanity. Spot wildlife wonders in Botswana. The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is one of southern Africa’s most biodiverse freshwater watersheds and a dream destination for animal lovers of all ages. The delta sustains the planet’s most endangered animals. From navigating canals in canoes to camping in nearby national parks, a family-friendly safari here can excite even the most jaded teen. See Northern Ireland’s coastal wonderland. Giantf ‘s Causeway is a volcanic formation of nearly 40,000 hexagonal columns (六角形柱子), created 60 million years ago. According to legend, this geological marvel is the handiwork of mythical warrior Finn McCool, who built a bridge across the Irish Sea to attack enemies in the Scottish Hebrides. It’s a World Heritage site uniquely suited to spark the imagination of children while offering a fascinating experience for the whole family. Camp in a biosphere (生物圈) in Mexico. Sian Ka’an, which means “origin of the sky” in Maya language, is a 1.3-million-acre biosphere reserve on the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Extending from tropical forests to coral reefs along the coast, the reserve counts sea turtles, crocodiles, spider monkeys, nurse sharks, and flamingos as local residents. Families can rent beachside tent cabins and book kayaking, fly-fishing, cenote snorkeling, and canal tours within the reserve. 1. Where can children appreciate the incredible intangible cultural heritage? A. Indonesia. B. Botswana. C. Mexico. D. Northern Ireland. 2. Which activity is NOT mentioned in Sian Ka’an, Mexico? A. Kayaking in coastal waters. B. Camping in tent cabins. C. Snorkeling in natural pools. D. Hiking through rainforest. 3 What do the four heritages have in common? A. Protect endangered species. B. Offer family-friendly experiences. C. Feature volcanic formations. D. Include water activities. B Fast food has become our common partner in the modern life. But we may be unaware of how it is reshaping our culture and the way we interact in society. Fast food has been gradually replacing the traditional family meal. Dinner used to be a time to slow down, when kids learned from their parents. Today, quality has given way to speed. The phrase “fast-food culture” extends beyond meals — it represents a way of life where patience has become a thing of the past. In addition, the global spread of fast food has led to sameness across borders. Fast food chains offer almost the same menu whether you’re in Mumbai or Miami. They’re like a bulldozer (推土机). It flattens varied cooking traditions and replaces them with a one-size-fits-all offering. Fast food, despite its convenience, often comes at a cost. Fast-food chains are often found in lower-income neighborhoods. This has created “food deserts” areas where affordable, healthy food is limited. The result is a vicious cycle (恶性循环). Those who can least afford the health impacts of bad eating habits end up eating the most fast food. When people say you are what you eat, it’s not just about physical health. It’s also about the social structures. Fast-food culture worsens the unfairness already present in our society. We may not be able to completely avoid fast food. After all, it has its place in a modern, fast- paced world. However, recognizing its harm to health and social structures is the first step towards change. It’s time we treated food as more than just a short stop to rest and eat in our busy day. Its meaning lies in the richness of our traditions, the diversity of our cultures, and the relationships we develop. Let’s not let fast food take this away from us. 4. What does “fast-food culture” represent? A. A way of slow life. B. A lack of patience. C. A focus on quality. D. A return to traditions. 5. Why does the author compare fast-food chains to a bulldozer? A. They reduce food cultural diversity. B. They develop better eating habits. C. They promote local food traditions. D. They gain worldwide popularity. 6. What does the underlined phrase “a vicious cycle” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Poor people eat more fast food. B. Healthy food becomes expensive. C. The gap between rich and poor widens. D. Fast food does harm to physical health. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards fast food? A. Completely negative and viewing it dangerous. B. Extremely doubtful and not caring about it. C. Supportive but warning of its harmful effects. D. Concerned but recognizing its practical value. C “Our history and culture is very important to understanding the present moment and where we’re heading in the future.” said Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday. Cook highlighted technology’s role in expanding the audience for traditional culture after watching a Kunqu Opera performance, saying, “What technology does and what our products do is help expand the audience for traditional culture.” The event featured a performance of a classic excerpt (节选) from the 400-year-old Peony Pavilion by the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre. Model-actress and director Chang Chunxiao presented her iPhone-shot short documentary, The People in the Time Tunnel, which reveals behind-the-scenes stories of the theater’s new interpretation of the opera. Cook remarked on the power of video to share such cultural experiences globally: “Only a few of us could fit in the theater and enjoy it, but with the video we’re able to capture that for the world. It enables us to connect with our history in a much deeper way and with many more people.” Cook expressed his personal admiration for Chinese calligraphy, calling it “one of the most beautiful art forms in the world,” and stressed the importance of its preservation. He underlined the broader significance of safeguarding history and culture in a nation with 5,000 years of heritage, noting that “There’s so much in the past that can be learned from and used to make our lives better in the present moment.” Addressing the current trend of artificial intelligence, Cook expressed his view on technology’s purpose: enriching lives, enhancing productivity, and boosting creativity. He firmly asserted technology’s supplementary role: “But it does not and it should not replace human being. It’s a complement rather than a replacement.” 8 What is the main function of Cook’s words in Paragraph 1? A. Highlight commercial gains. B. Provide false statistics. C. Contrast tradition with innovation. D. Present Cook’s major argument. 9. What key role does Cook see for video technology? A. Enhancing theatrical performances. B. Globalizing cultural experiences. C. Replacing physical attendance. D. Simplifying artistic creation. 10. What is implied by Cook’s reference to China’s 5,000-year heritage? A. Technology must reproduce historical models to ensure progress. B. Modern societies neglect ancestral wisdom in solving current issues. C. Historical heritage provides applicable insights for present improvement. D. Cultural preservation holds back technological advancement. 11. What is Cook’s core belief regarding artificial intelligence? A. Human creativity becoming outdated. B. Enhancing, not replacing humanity. C. Automating tasks for efficiency. D. Ethics blocking AI contributions. D Microplastics — plastic particles (微粒) smaller than 5 mm — are spreading rapidly in the environment due to rising global plastic use. By 2023, over 300 million tons of plastic have been produced annually, with 2.5 million tons floating in oceans, a tenfold increase since 2005. A study in Nature Medicine showed alarming findings: microplastics and nanoplastics build up more in the human brain than in the liver or kidneys (肾脏). Researchers studied organs from 91 dead individuals (1997 — 2022) and found plastics in all brain samples. The highest concentration reached 0.48% of brain tissue (≈2 grams, similar to a plastic spoon’s weight), with recent deaths showing a sharp rise. Microplastics’ fat loving nature allows them to stick to the brain’s fatty tissues (60% of its composition). Particularly, Alzheimer’s patients had the highest plastic levels. Scientists come up with two theories: plastics may cause dementia, or diseased brains lose the ability to remove waste. Duke University neuroscientist Andrew West explains that our brains have a natural cleaning system using fluid that works during sleep. But too many plastics can damage this system. Nanoplastics enter the body through bottled water, food packaging, seafood, airborne particles, and heated plastic containers. Global plastic waste, which could wrap the Earth in 2016, has since grown by 50%. As plastics break down, they form particles entering organs. The study uncovered uncertainties: brains contained polyethylene (PE) (聚乙烯) (from milk bottles) but almost no PET (聚酯) plastic (common in water bottles) despite PET’s importance in blood. This puzzles scientists, highlighting gaps in understanding plastic behavior in the body. US federal funding cuts further hold back research, though students increasingly pursue this field to address the crisis. The microplastics’ link to Alzheimer’s remains unproven. Scientists urge calm but stress lifestyle changes. They suggest three things: avoid heating food in plastic, use glass containers, and reduce packaged foods. 12. How are microplastics described in terms of size? A. More than 5 millimeters. B. Less than 5 millimeters. C. More than 1 millimeter. D. Less than 1,000 nanometers. 13. Why do microplastics build up easily in the brain? A. Brain tissue has high water content. B. Microplastics are fat-attracting. C. The brain has a poor self-cleaning function. D. Nanoplastics are smaller in size. 14. Which of the following is NOT listed as a preventive measure? A. Avoid heating food in plastic containers. B. Reduce the use of packaged foods. C. Replace plastic bottles with glass cups. D. Ban entirely all plastic production. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Microplastics: Unseen Invaders in the Human Brain B.

But he didn’t make any sales. Feeling very sad, he almost wanted to give up. Also, his stomach was growling loudly because he hadn’t eaten for days. With no other option, he decided to ask for food at the next house. He was a bit scared as he knocked on the door, not sure what to say. When the door opened, a kind-looking young woman stood there. Howard got even more nervous. “Could… could you give me a drink of water?” he asked, looking down at his feet. The woman saw how thin and tired the boy was. She thought he needed something more than just water to feel better, so she brought him a glass of milk instead. Howard held the cup with his small hands and drank the milk slowly. Then he asked, “How much do I have to pay you?” The woman smiled kindly and said, “You don’t need to pay me anything. My mother always told me that we should help others without asking for money in return.” Howard was so touched. “Thank you so much!” he said with a big smile. As he walked away, he felt not only stronger in his body but also more hopeful about people. Many years passed. The kind young woman became very sick. The doctors in her small town couldn’t help her, so they sent her to a big hospital in the city. There, many famous doctors would try to cure her. One of them was Dr. Howard Kelly.
