B Fresh out of college, I had a job as a receptionist at an eyeglasses store, where I encountered both nice and unpleasant customers. Mr. Petrucci and his wife, a lovely elderly couple, would often come in. The woman was extremely sweet, often had questions, and liked to chat. Occasionally, I was so busy that taking the extra time with her was challenging, so I greeted her warmly and asked her to walk around the store at her own pace. In truth, I really liked the couple and imagined how fantastic it would be to have them as neighbors. One day, Mr. Petrucci came in and walked up to my desk. It was unusual for him to come alone, but that didn’t register with me at first. I greeted him and asked what he needed. He told me that he just came in to see me. When he hesitantly told me that his wife had passed away, I was discouraged. My heart ached for him losing a woman he loved for all his life. Then he handed me a package and said it was a gift for me, a person who deserved it. Thinking about that moment still brings tears to my eyes. I opened the box, and it contained wonderful, old-fashioned set of Irish-style hankies. I told him how touched I was by his thoughtful gesture. I’ve never seen him since then. Although it happened forty years ago, I still can picture him standing there telling me something now. I still have one of those meaningful hankies. It always serves as a reminder of how important the smallest of gestures can be to someone. Just as I had no idea that I was making a difference to them, he could never imagine how much his gift meant to me. We touch each other’s lives in ways we often never know about — for good or for ill. The smallest amount of kindness has lasting repercussion. I try to remember that touching moment every day. 24. Why did the elderly man give hankies to the author? A. To show his generosity and wealth. B. To remind the author of his wife’s kindness. C. To show his mercy on the author. D. To show his appreciation for the author. 25. Why are those hankies meaningful to the author? A. They are old-fashioned and Irish-style. B. They are the beginning of good friendship. C. They tell the author’s unforgettable experience. D. They link the author to a rich couple. 26. What does the underlined word “repercussion” in the last paragraph mean? A Effect. B. Result. C. Conflict. D. Challenge. 27. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. God helps those who help themselves. C. Great minds think alike. D. Good is rewarded with good. C In the lab, most mice go as far as to take electric shocks in their desperation to consume sugar. Mice aren’t alone. Humans do something similar. Daily snacking on processed foods, recent studies show, rewires the brain’s reward circuits (奖励回路). Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly processed foods, high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’ re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.” In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too. When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits. “Highly processed foods are controlling the brain in a way you’d see with addiction to drugs,” DeFeliceantonio says. In 2022, Gearhardt and DeFeliccantonio published an opinion piece in the journal Addiction arguing that highly processed foods should be classified (分类) as addictive. Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine (尼古丁) was addictive, either. Researchers didn’t know the dosage (剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades. Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says. 28. Why are some mice mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To show mice are widely used in lab experiments. B. To highlight mice’ strong ability to consume sugar. C To make a comparison between mice and humans. D. To introduce the topic of snacking processed foods. 29. In the 2023 study, those eating high-fat, high-sugar yogurts have _________. A. increased difficulty in activating the brain with drugs B. increased likelihood of developing addiction to drugs C. decreased response to healthy food s in reward system D. decreased interest in highly processed snacks 30. What is Hebebrand’s attitude towards highly processed foods? A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 31. What does Gearhardt mean by saying “It’s cigarettes all over again.”? A. We should classify sugar as addictive before it’s too late. B. The market will be filled with processed foods in time. C. It’s high time that we labeled tobacco as addictive. D. It’s a mistake to have classified cigarettes as addictive. D A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design. The Chelsea Flower Show, a celebrated global event held annually at Chelsea, London, has been a foundation of the gardening calendar since 1913. It began as a way to show the latest trends in gardening and plant varieties. The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens. Giulio Giorgi, a first-time Chelsea designer, stated he created the green-medal-winning garden with no concrete. Most gardens contain concrete in some form and the materials they are built from often generate the highest carbon footprint. While the employment of pollinator - friendly plants, wild areas and sensible use of water are well - known easy ways to make a garden more sustainable, Giorgi said it was crucial to focus on the building materials as their carbon footprint was often overlooked. “We typically use a lot of metal, cement (水泥) and then all the energy we have to put in to build the gardens. The material in our garden is low-temperature-fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D-printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any. The bricks keep water like a sponge and release it when drought strikes plants,” said Giorgi. Judges considered end-of-life plans for the gardens and whether materials could be reused. The 3D-printed nature of Giorgi's garden means it can easily be taken apart and put together again. As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted. 32. What do we know about the Chelsea Flower Show? A. It values sustainability and appeal. B. It aimed to encourage outdoor fitness. C. It prohibits concrete in competing gardens. D. It has a tradition of advocating for greenness. 33. What advantage does clay have over other building materials according to Giorgi? A. It catches fire less easily. B. It's more durable and absorbent. C. It takes less labor to produce. D. It's eco - friendly and more available. 34. What will become of Giorgi's garden after the show? A. It'll be sold publicly. B. It'll serve as an urban landmark. C It'll be turned into a school. D. It'll come into play in another spot. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Clay Bricks: Recyclable Building Material B. Chelsea Flower Show: Celebration of Gardening C. Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal D. Giulio Giorgi: Designer Enthusiastic about High - Tech 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。 4 Reasons Why Wild Animals Are So Important As we know, the earth gives us food, medicines and materials, often through wild animals.

I recently had a personal experience that reminded me of this during a particularly challenging week. My week had been filled with problems, from work-related stress to unexpected bills and broken items. By the time I needed to go to the store for a few essentials, I was already feeling overwhelmed and at my breaking point. Despite my desire to just go home and relax, I made the trip across town to the store. When I arrived, I found the parking lot packed, which only added to my frustration. To make matters worse, the person next to my intended parking spot seemed to think their small car was entitled (有资格) to take up two spaces. After finally finding a spot, I realized that I had left my purse, including my debit card (借记卡) and checkbook (支票簿), at home. Fortunately, I had a small amount of cash and my coupon (优惠券) book, so I decided to go inside and make the best of it. The store was bustling with people, but I managed to find the items I needed and got in line to check out. However, the line seemed to move at a snail’s pace, and my patience was wearing thin. As I waited, I couldn’t help but feel my stress levels rising. That’s when I noticed an old lady standing behind me in line. She seemed to sense my anxiety and cast a kind smile at me. I awkwardly returned the smile and continued to wait. After a seemingly endless wait, it was finally my turn to check out. 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。 However, what happened next was out of my expectation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I was about to return for more cash, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年度第二学期南昌中学三经路校区 高二英语期末试卷 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5 分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the problem with the man?

Mr. Petrucci and his wife, a lovely elderly couple, would often come in. The woman was extremely sweet, often had questions, and liked to chat. Occasionally, I was so busy that taking the extra time with her was challenging, so I greeted her warmly and asked her to walk around the store at her own pace. In truth, I really liked the couple and imagined how fantastic it would be to have them as neighbors. One day, Mr. Petrucci came in and walked up to my desk. It was unusual for him to come alone, but that didn’t register with me at first. I greeted him and asked what he needed. He told me that he just came in to see me. When he hesitantly told me that his wife had passed away, I was discouraged. My heart ached for him losing a woman he loved for all his life. Then he handed me a package and said it was a gift for me, a person who deserved it. Thinking about that moment still brings tears to my eyes. I opened the box, and it contained wonderful, old-fashioned set of Irish-style hankies. I told him how touched I was by his thoughtful gesture. I’ve never seen him since then. Although it happened forty years ago, I still can picture him standing there telling me something now. I still have one of those meaningful hankies. It always serves as a reminder of how important the smallest of gestures can be to someone. Just as I had no idea that I was making a difference to them, he could never imagine how much his gift meant to me. We touch each other’s lives in ways we often never know about — for good or for ill. The smallest amount of kindness has lasting repercussion. I try to remember that touching moment every day. 24. Why did the elderly man give hankies to the author? A. To show his generosity and wealth. B. To remind the author of his wife’s kindness. C. To show his mercy on the author. D. To show his appreciation for the author. 25. Why are those hankies meaningful to the author? A. They are old-fashioned and Irish-style. B. They are the beginning of good friendship. C. They tell the author’s unforgettable experience. D. They link the author to a rich couple. 26. What does the underlined word “repercussion” in the last paragraph mean? A. Effect. B. Result. C. Conflict. D. Challenge. 27. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. God helps those who help themselves. C. Great minds think alike. D. Good is rewarded with good. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在文章中讲述了彼德鲁奇先生赠给她手帕的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mr. Petrucci and his wife, a lovely elderly couple, would often come in.

Occasionally, I was so busy that taking the extra time with her was challenging, so I greeted her warmly and asked her to walk around the store at her own pace. In truth, I really liked the couple and imagined how fantastic it would be to have them as neighbors.(彼得鲁奇和他的妻子是一对可爱的老夫妇，他们经常进来。这个女人非常可爱，经常有问题，喜欢聊天。有时候，我太忙了，很难抽出额外的时间陪她，所以我热情地跟她打招呼，让她按照自己的节奏在店里走走。事实上，我真的很喜欢这对夫妇，想象着能和他们做邻居该有多好)”以及第二段“Then he handed me a package and said it was a gift for me, a person who deserved it.(然后他递给我一个包裹，说这是给我的礼物，一个值得拥有它的人)”可知，作者平时善待彼德鲁奇夫妇，彼德鲁奇先生在他的妻子去世后给作者赠送手帕，主要是表达对作者的感激之情。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It always serves as a reminder of how important the smallest of gestures can be to someone. Just as I had no idea that I was making a difference to them, he could never imagine how much his gift meant to me.(它总是提醒我们，一个最小的手势对一个人来说是多么重要。就像我不知道我对他们的影响一样，他也无法想象他的礼物对我有多么重要)”可推知，这些手帕让作者回想起难忘的经历，因此对他来说是非常有意义的。故选C项。 26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文的“It always serves as a reminder of how important the smallest of gestures can be to someone. Just as I had no idea that I was making a difference to them, he could never imagine how much his gift meant to me. We touch each other’s lives in ways we often never know about — for good or for ill(它总是提醒我们，一个最小的手势对一个人来说是多么重要。就像我不知道我对他们的影响一样，他也无法想象他的礼物对我有多么重要。我们以一种我们常常不知道的方式影响着彼此的生活——不管是好是坏)”和下文的“I try to remember that touching moment every day.(我每天都努力回忆那个感人的时刻)”可知，小小善举对彼此都能产生持久的影响，因此，该词意为“（间接的）影响”，与A项同义。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Mr. Petrucci and his wife, a lovely elderly couple, would often come in.

Mice aren’t alone. Humans do something similar. Daily snacking on processed foods, recent studies show, rewires the brain’s reward circuits (奖励回路). Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly processed foods, high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’ re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.” In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too. When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits. “Highly processed foods are controlling the brain in a way you’d see with addiction to drugs,” DeFeliceantonio says. In 2022, Gearhardt and DeFeliccantonio published an opinion piece in the journal Addiction arguing that highly processed foods should be classified (分类) as addictive. Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine (尼古丁) was addictive, either. Researchers didn’t know the dosage (剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades. Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says. 28. Why are some mice mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To show mice are widely used in lab experiments. B. To highlight mice’ strong ability to consume sugar. C. To make a comparison between mice and humans. D. To introduce the topic of snacking processed foods. 29. In the 2023 study, those eating high-fat, high-sugar yogurts have _________. A. increased difficulty in activating the brain with drugs B. increased likelihood of developing addiction to drugs C. decreased response to healthy food s in reward system D. decreased interest in highly processed snacks 30. What is Hebebrand’s attitude towards highly processed foods? A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 31. What does Gearhardt mean by saying “It’s cigarettes all over again.”? A. We should classify sugar as addictive before it’s too late. B. The market will be filled with processed foods in time. C. It’s high time that we labeled tobacco as addictive. D. It’s a mistake to have classified cigarettes as addictive. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加工食品可能具有成瘾性及其对大脑的影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the lab, most mice go as far as to take electric shocks in their desperation to consume sugar. Mice aren’t alone. Humans do something similar. Daily snacking on processed foods, recent studies show, rewires the brain’s reward circuits (奖励回路).(在实验室里，大多数老鼠为了吃到糖，不惜承受电击。老鼠并非特例，人类也有类似行为。最近的研究表明，日常食用加工食品会重塑大脑的奖励回路)”可知，首段提到老鼠在实验中会不顾一切地摄入糖分，甚至不惜接受电击。紧接着指出老鼠并不孤单，人类也有类似的行为。由此推知，这是为了引出本文的主题——加工食品可能具有成瘾性及其对大脑产生影响。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too. When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits.“ Highly processed foods are controlling the brain in a way you’d see with addiction to drugs,”DeFeliceantonio says.(科学家们不仅发现第一组人对更健康的酸奶的偏好在试验后减少了，还发现他们的大脑激活模式也发生了变化。在品尝脂肪和糖分高的奶昔时，他们的奖励回路表现出增强的反应。“高度加工的食品以类似于药物成瘾的方式控制着大脑，”DeFeliceantonio说)”可知，吃高脂肪高糖酸奶的人群对更健康的酸奶的兴趣减少了，并且他们的大脑奖赏回路模式也发生了变化。这意味着他们对健康食物的兴趣下降了。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following“ the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine (尼古丁) was addictive, either.(然而，来自杜伊斯堡-埃森大学的精神科医生 Hebebrand 担心，匆忙将某些食品归类为成瘾性可能会让糖产业轻易逃脱责任。这可能是遵循了“烟草行业的剧本”。毕竟，也没有明确的证据证明尼古丁具有成瘾性)”可推知，根据Hebebrand的观点，他对急于将高度加工食物归类为成瘾性食品持谨慎态度，担心可能会导致糖业逃脱责任，类似以前烟草业中的情况。故选C。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label them as such.(考虑到高度加工食品对健康的有害影响，Gearhardt认为，与其不将这些食品标示为成瘾性，不如冒险将其误分类为成瘾性)”可知，Gearhardt说“香烟又来了”是指我们应该尽早将高度加工食品归类为成瘾性食品，以免重蹈烟草被认定成瘾性的覆辙。故选A。 D A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design. The Chelsea Flower Show, a celebrated global event held annually at Chelsea, London, has been a foundation of the gardening calendar since 1913. It began as a way to show the latest trends in gardening and plant varieties. The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens. Giulio Giorgi, a first-time Chelsea designer, stated he created the green-medal-winning garden with no concrete. Most gardens contain concrete in some form and the materials they are built from often generate the highest carbon footprint. While the employment of pollinator - friendly plants, wild areas and sensible use of water are well - known easy ways to make a garden more sustainable, Giorgi said it was crucial to focus on the building materials as their carbon footprint was often overlooked. “We typically use a lot of metal, cement (水泥) and then all the energy we have to put in to build the gardens. The material in our garden is low-temperature-fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D-printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any. The bricks keep water like a sponge and release it when drought strikes plants,” said Giorgi. Judges considered end-of-life plans for the gardens and whether materials could be reused. The 3D-printed nature of Giorgi's garden means it can easily be taken apart and put together again. As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted. 32. What do we know about the Chelsea Flower Show? A. It values sustainability and appeal. B. It aimed to encourage outdoor fitness. C. It prohibits concrete in competing gardens. D. It has a tradition of advocating for greenness. 33. What advantage does clay have over other building materials according to Giorgi? A. It catches fire less easily. B. It's more durable and absorbent. C. It takes less labor to produce. D. It's eco - friendly and more available. 34. What will become of Giorgi's garden after the show? A. It'll be sold publicly. B. It'll serve as an urban landmark. C. It'll be turned into a school. D. It'll come into play in another spot. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Clay Bricks: Recyclable Building Material B. Chelsea Flower Show: Celebration of Gardening C. Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal D. Giulio Giorgi: Designer Enthusiastic about High - Tech 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在切尔西花展上，一座由“不起眼”的黏土制成的3D打印砖块建造的花园因其最具环境可持续性的设计获得了首个绿色奖章，还介绍了该花园的设计理念以及优势等。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.(一座由“不起眼”的黏土制成的3D打印砖块建造的花园因其最具环境可持续性的设计在切尔西花展上获得了首个绿色奖章)” 以及第二段“The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens.(环境创新奖是此类奖项中的第一个，与颁发给最具吸引力和趣味性花园的金、银、铜牌一同颁发)”可知，切尔西花展既重视可持续性，又重视花园的吸引力。A 选项“It values sustainability and appeal.(它重视可持续性和吸引力。)”符合文意，故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The material in our garden is low - temperature - fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D - printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any.(我们花园里的材料是低温烧制的粘土，这种资源几乎随处可见。我们将这种粘土制成3D打印砖，将古老的传统与新颖的做法相结合，从而尽可能降低碳排放，如果有的话)”可知，与其他建筑材料相比，粘土更环保且更容易获取。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted.(因此，当它被搬迁到英国皇家园艺学会威斯利花园（RHS Garden Wisley），在展览结束后作为一个教育设施继续存在时，碳排放将很低，因为不会浪费任何材料)”可知，展览结束后，Giorgi的花园将被搬迁到另一个地方继续发挥作用。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“A garden constructed with "humble" clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.(一个由“普通”粘土制成3D打印砖建造的花园，因其是最环保的设计而在切尔西花展上获得了第一枚绿色奖章。)”、第二段“The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens.(环境创新奖是此类奖项中的第一个，与颁发给最具吸引力和趣味性花园的金、银、铜牌一同颁发)”、第五段“The material in our garden is low - temperature - fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D - printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any.(我们花园里的材料是低温烧制的粘土，这种资源几乎随处可见。我们将这种粘土制成3D打印砖，将古老的传统与新颖的做法相结合，从而尽可能降低碳排放，如果有的话)”以及最后一段“As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted.(因此，当它被搬迁到英国皇家园艺学会威斯利花园（RHS Garden Wisley），在展览结束后作为一个教育设施继续存在时，碳排放将很低，因为不会浪费任何材料)”可知，文章介绍了用粘土砖建造的花园获得了切尔西花展的绿色奖章，随后的段落围绕这个花园展开介绍，包括其建造材料粘土的优势、花园的可持续性以及展览结束后的去向等。所以C项“Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal(用粘土砖建造的花园：绿色奖章获得者)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 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。 4 Reasons Why Wild Animals Are So Important As we know, the earth gives us food, medicines and materials, often through wild animals. These wild animals are important to our existence. Sadly, they are becoming extinct at an alarming rate. We need to change this loss of nature and create a future where wildlife and people thrive (蓬勃发展) again. ___36___ Here are some reasons why wild animals are so important to the world at large. Wild animals keep balance in ecosystems. ___37___ If any part is threatened or becomes extinct, this has a knock-on effect on the whole ecosystem. sending shock waves through the environment. For ecosystems to survive and perhaps even thrive, we must protect all of our wildlife. Diversity (多样性) means healthier ecosystems and healthier wild animals. When there is a wildlife issue, you’ll often hear the term biodiversity, which refers to the number of species in an ecosystem. ___38___ Why do we consider this important? A wide variety of animals means greater productivity and better health. If there are fewer animal species, a disease that affects any species spreads faster and more effectively. ___39___ All of the food that we eat comes from an animal or plant. Living without various food sources causes our nutrition (营养) to suffer. Protecting wildlife and its natural habitats strengthens food safety for humans around the world. Wildlife helps medical research.

I recently had a personal experience that reminded me of this during a particularly challenging week. My week had been filled with problems, from work-related stress to unexpected bills and broken items. By the time I needed to go to the store for a few essentials, I was already feeling overwhelmed and at my breaking point. Despite my desire to just go home and relax, I made the trip across town to the store. When I arrived, I found the parking lot packed, which only added to my frustration. To make matters worse, the person next to my intended parking spot seemed to think their small car was entitled (有资格) to take up two spaces. After finally finding a spot, I realized that I had left my purse, including my debit card (借记卡) and checkbook (支票簿), at home. Fortunately, I had a small amount of cash and my coupon (优惠券) book, so I decided to go inside and make the best of it. The store was bustling with people, but I managed to find the items I needed and got in line to check out. However, the line seemed to move at a snail’s pace, and my patience was wearing thin. As I waited, I couldn’t help but feel my stress levels rising. That’s when I noticed an old lady standing behind me in line. She seemed to sense my anxiety and cast a kind smile at me. I awkwardly returned the smile and continued to wait. After a seemingly endless wait, it was finally my turn to check out. 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。 However, what happened next was out of my expectation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I was about to return for more cash, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, what happened next was out of my expectation. As the cashier scanned my items, I discovered that the total cost exceeded the amount of cash I had on hand. Embarrassment and confusion filled me as I attempted to explain my situation to the cashier, who seemed increasingly frustrated. Meanwhile, the patience of the people waiting behind me in line began to wear thin. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, a sense of hopelessness began to set in, and I contemplated having to return home to retrieve more money. As I was about to return for more cash, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the elderly woman who had been standing behind me in line. With a warm smile, she handed me some money and reassuringly said, “Don’t worry, dear. We all have tough days.” Her kindness deeply touched me, and I thanked her with all the sincerity I could muster before paying for my items. As I left the store, I felt a profound sense of gratitude and realized that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a significant impact on someone’s day. This simple gesture of goodwill truly brightened my spirits, and it inspired me to pay it forward by helping others whenever I can. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者的生活很不顺利，到处都是问题。到超市买东西时，作者发现没带钱包，当作者尽力购买好东西，因为结账队伍缓慢移动，作者的耐心逐渐耗尽，压力不断上升。就在这时，作者注意到身后一位老太太，她似乎察觉到了作者的焦虑，投来一个善意的微笑。作者尴尬地回以微笑，继续等待结账。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，接下来发生的事情出乎我的意料。”可知，第一段可描写作者准备结账时发现带的钱不够了以及作者的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“正当我准备回去取更多的现金时，我突然感到有人拍了拍我的肩膀。”可知，第二段可描写身后的老太太给作者钱帮作者付账以及作者的感激之情。 2. 续写线索：发现钱不够——感到尴尬——准备回去取钱——老太太给作者钱——表达感激之情——决心帮助他人传递善良。 3. 词汇激活 行类 ①递：hand/give ②激励：inspire/encourage ③感动：touch/move 情绪类 ①沮丧的：frustrated/disappointed ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]As the cashier scanned my items, I discovered that the total cost exceeded the amount of cash I had on hand.(that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]It was the elderly woman who had been standing behind me in line.(it was+强调部分+who引导的强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。You look bad, honey, do you have a cold or are you just . tired out?
