Suddenly,Khan became aggressive,his muscles tensing and a low roar coming out of his throat.Catherine Svilicic,Charlotte's mother,glanced up from her gardening,uneasy.Before she could react,Khan jumped at Charlotte,knocking her sideways with his shoulder."No, Khan!"Catherine screamed,dropping her tools.But the Doberman didn't stop.He grabbed Charlotte by the diaper(),throwing her several feet across the yard. Horror gave way to clarity as Catherine spotted the threat-a poisonous brown snake was heading right for the little girl.Khan's"attack"had been a desperate rescue:this brave dog got Charlotte out of the way just in time and instead,he was bitten by the snake moments later.At the clinic,Khan received anti-venom just in time.The vet (warned that without his quick actions,the bite would have been deadly for Charlotte."He took the hit for her," Catherine whispered,tears streaming as she gently touched Khan's bandaged paw. The family had doubted adopting a Doberman with a miserable past,but Khan's courage erased every worry."He's family now,"Catherine told reporters later."We'll spend years 高二英语试卷第4页（共12页） making sure he knows how loved he is.

While common issues like hay fever(27%),sunburn(19%),and colds(34%)dominate self-diagnoses,32%report self-diagnosing their mental health conditions.Cases of anxiety and ADHD()are increasingly self-identified through TikTok symptom checklists,though experts warn such methods lack clinical preciseness.One 24-year-old participant shared:"I diagnosed myself with depression after online tests,but my doctor later owed it to vitamin D 高二英语试卷第5页（共12页）】 deficiency." So,why are people turning to Dr Google for help?Over a third(36%)complained about the difficulties securing timely appointments,while 22%avoided the NHS due to fears of long waits.With NHS waiting lists hitting 7.5 million-a record high-Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised in January to end backlogs and make millions more appointments available,providing greater choice and convenience for patients. As patients increasingly use online research as a first step,AXA's report stresses the urgent need for reliable digital health ecosystems.Research shows 52%of UK adults encounter conflicting medical advice online,and I in 3 struggle to distinguish credible sources.To deal with this,the report proposes three measures:confirmation of the qualification for healthcare professionals on social media,stricter content grading policies,and automatic early warning for misleading claims-a system already piloted by many platforms for COVID-19 misinformation. With the healthcare system at a crossroads,bridging the gap between digital convenience and medical accuracy remains critical.As AXA's health director noted:"Letting patients make their own health decisions shouldn't mean abandoning them to a sea of misleading information." 28.What is Paragraph2 mainly about? A.Most of the self-diagnosis involve common diseases. B.The 24-year-old participant regretted self-diagnosing. C.Self-diagnosis of mental illnesses are not recommended.

D.Accumulated tasks 30.What does AXA's report suggest about conflicting online advice? A.Qualifying online healthcare professionals B.Establishing trustworthy online health system. C.Banning health-related content on social platforms. D.Warning healthcare professionals of the misinformation. 31.What can be inferred from the last Paragraph? A.It is urgent to provide accurate and handy online diagnosis. B.Digital diagnostic systems will replace traditional evaluations. C.It is vital to offer more financial support for healthcare system. D.Social media platforms should stop providing healtheare advice. 高二英语试卷第6页（共12页）】 D Researchers in Saudi Arabia have discovered a surprising new method for locating seagrass meadows(),as reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The scientists satellite-tagged 53 green turtles between 2018 and 2021 to track their movements while hunting for food.The turtles led the researchers to 34 previously unknown seagrass meadows in the Red Sea,increasing the region's known area of seagrass by 13 percent. The turtles were about 20 times more reliable at identifying the sites than the Allen Coral Atlas-a conservation tool that uses high-resolution satellite images to map global coastlines. Seagrass meadows play a vital role in the capture and storage of carbon.Together with mangroves and saltmarshes,they are more effective carbon sinks than rainforests.However, according to the study,"blue carbon"projects are blocked by gaps in our understanding of the distribution and extent of seagrasses. Researchers in the Bahamas have previously used tiger sharks to locate seagrass meadows, but populations of these predators(have declined enormously in many regions.Green turtles are increasing in some areas and the reptiles are much easier to tag-researchers can attach a satellite transmitter(to an adult female after she has nested on the beach. Turtle-tagging is also a cheaper option,costing less than I percent of the tens of millions of dollars required to use technology such as planes fitted with special sensors. "Countries need reliable,accurate data to make good policies for protection of the environment,which also protects their economies,"says Carlos Duarte,professor of marine science at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology,and lead author of the research."Our study provides crucial data for the Red Sea,which will assist the countries along it in formulating conservation strategies and blue carbon programmes."Melissa Hobson. 32.How do researchers follow the turtles? A.With satellite images. B.With movement maps. C.With underwater cameras. D.With satellite tracking devices. 33.What is the challenge of "blue carbon"projects? A.Poor satellite signal. B.Incomplete seagrass data. C.Limited predator population. D.Ineffective storage of carbon. 34.What can be inferred about turtle-tagging compared to other methods? A.It's less available. B.It covers larger areas. C.It's more cost-efficient. D.It requires less expertise. 高二英语试卷第7页（共12页）】 35.What's the main purpose of the turtle-tagging research? A.To study turtle migration patterns. B.To test satellite tracking technology. C.To provide data for conservation strategies. D.To compare marine species'carbon storage. 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。 Imagine you are waiting for a lunch appointment all morning,too anxious to read or take a walk,just watching the clock.36 This state,often called "waiting mode",refers to feeling unable to focus on tasks when you have a future event.Let's explore why this happens and how to overcome it. Several factors contribute to this feeling.For some,worries about forgetting the event or losing track of time lead to overfocusing on it.37 For them,planning tasks effectively seems impossible.Anxiety also plays a role-negative thoughts about the event,like fearing judgment or failure,can trick the brain into treating it as a threat.This stress might cause a“freeze”response,leaving you stuck. To break free from "waiting mode",start by grounding yourself in the present.Simple awareness exercises,such as paying attention to your surroundings during a walk or taking deep breaths for a minute,can help calm your mind.If anxiety takes over,try the 5-4-3-2-1 method:name five things you see,four sounds,three touches,two smells,and one taste. 38 Planning your time in advance can also reduce stress-divide your schedule into manageable parts or tasks,like setting aside 90 minutes for a TV show or 30 minutes for exercise,and write these tasks down to stay organised.39 Set a timer( to complete small goals,like cleaning your desk before the alarm rings,and reward yourself afterward. 40 However,with the right tools and strategies,you can take back control and ease the anxiety of anticipation.By focusing on the present,organising your time,and adding fun to tasks,you can turn waiting periods into productive or enjoyable moments. 高二英语试卷第8页（共12页） A.This shifts your focus away from worries. B.Then you find it hard to enjoy the present. C.It helps you forget the upcoming appointment. D."Waiting mode"can waste time and raise stress E.To make waiting less boring,turn tasks into games F.Others struggle with sensing how much time has passed. G.You don't want to end up miscalculating and being late. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 One summer afternoon,Vivian took her three-year-old son Benjamin to a nearby park.She rarely took him out because Benjamin often 41 uncontrollably in public,drawing critical stares from strangers.That day,however,the park was 42 except for a woman and her young daughter playing in the sandbox.
