Nearby, Khan, the Svilicic family’s newly adopted Doberman, watched her intently. The 90-pound creature had endured months of abuse from his previous owner before his rescue. Yet, over four short days, he’d begun to relax—tail wagging madly when Charlotte offered him her snacks. 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 (尿片), 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 (兽医) 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 making sure he knows how loved he is.” Khan’s recovery was slow but successful. He and Charlotte became inseparable—she’d nap against his side, tiny hand resting on his scarred body. The Svilicics fixed a snake-proof fence but knew no barrier could match the loyalty of their four-legged guardian. For the Svilicics, every wag of his tail was a reminder: kindness always finds its way back to you, often when least expected. 4. Why did Khan jump at Charlotte? A. He mistook her for a threat. B. He attempted to defend her. C. He disliked her terrible snacks. D. He suffered constant abuse from her. 5. Which best describes Khan’s personality? A. Playful but decisive. B. Tough but aggressive. C. Sharp and protective. D. Loyal and independent. 6. What can be inferred about the family’s future actions? A. They will fix a barrier to stop snakes. B. They will avoid gardening in the yard. C. They will prioritize Khan’s well-being. D. They will train Khan to hunt for snakes. 7. What is the best title for the story? A. A Heroic Rescue B. Live Side By Side C. A Narrow Escape D. Return Good For Evil 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文记叙杜宾犬Khan为保护小女孩被毒蛇咬了然后得到小女孩家人认可。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“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.(Khan的“攻击”是一种不顾后果的救援：这只勇敢的狗及时让夏洛特躲开了，但片刻之后，他就被蛇咬了)可知，Khan之所以跳起来是因为想保护夏洛特。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“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.(Khan的“攻击”是一种不顾后果的救援：这只勇敢的狗及时让夏洛特躲开了，但片刻之后，他就被蛇咬了)可知，Khan的反应灵敏，而且愿意保护夏洛特。选项中的Sharp and protective表示“灵敏的和保护的”，和句意相吻合。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段末句“We’ll spend years making sure he knows how loved he is.(我们将花费数年时间确保他知道自己是多么受到珍爱)”可推断，这家人在将来的日子里会珍爱这条狗，这和C项“他们会优先考虑可汗的健康”相吻合。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段中“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 ( 兽医 ) warned that without his quick actions, the bite would have been deadly for Charlotte. “He took the hit for her,”(Khan的“攻击”是一种不顾后果的救援：这只勇敢的狗及时让夏洛特躲开了，但片刻之后，他就被蛇咬了。在诊所，可汗及时注射了抗蛇毒血清。兽医警告说，如果没有他的快速反应，夏洛特的咬伤可能是致命的。“他替她受罪。”)”可知，本文通过记叙可汗为保护小女孩夏洛特而被毒蛇咬了，后来得到了救助并成为家庭的一员。A项“英雄的营救”，是对文章内容的概括，可作为最佳标题。故选A项。 C People are taking their health into their own hands it seems, as nearly half of UK adults (48%) have turned to online health information to self-diagnose in the past year, with 18% of 16-24-year-olds doing so at least four times, according to an AXA survey of 4,000 people. The trend reflects growing reliance on digital resources in social media for health advice. 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 (多动症) 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 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 1 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.” 8. What is Paragraph 2 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 TikTok symptom checklists contributed to self-diagnosis. 9. What does the underlined word “backlogs”mean in Paragraph3? A. Technical errors. B. Staff shortages. C. Public complaints. D. Accumulated tasks. 10. 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. 11. 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 healthcare advice. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要分析英国民众在线自我诊断的流行原因(如医疗资源紧张)、潜在风险(信息冲突)，并提出建立可靠数字医疗生态的解决方案。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“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 (多动症) 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 deficiency.”(常见的诸如花粉症（27%）、晒伤（19%）和感冒（34%）等病症在自我诊断中占据主导地位，而有32%的人表示自己对自身的心理健康状况进行了自我诊断。焦虑症和多动症（ADHD）的情况越来越多地通过 TikTok 的症状检查清单被自我确认，不过专家警告称，这类方法缺乏临床准确性。一位24岁的参与者分享道：“我在网上测试后诊断自己患有抑郁症，但后来我的医生说是由于维生素D缺乏所致。”)”可知，第二段主要讲的是不建议进行自我诊断精神疾病。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“With NHS waiting lists hitting 7.5 million — a record high(由于国民医疗服务体系的预约等候名单已达到750万条——创历史新高)”可知，等候名单已达到750万条，因此首相承诺要解决这些积压的任务。故划线词意思是“积压的任务”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As patients increasingly use online research as a first step, AXA’s report stresses the urgent need for reliable digital health ecosystems.(随着患者越来越多地将在线研究作为第一步，安盛的报告强调了建立可靠数字健康生态系统的迫切需求)”可知，安盛集团的报告建议建立可靠的在线健康体系。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”(在医疗体系面临重大变革之际，如何在数字便利性与医疗准确性之间找到平衡变得至关重要。正如安盛集团健康部门的负责人所指出的：“让患者自主做出健康决策不应意味着将他们置于充斥着误导性信息的环境中。”)”可知，现在迫切需要提供准确且便捷的在线诊断服务。故选A。 D Researchers in Saudi Arabia have discovered a surprising new method for locating seagrass meadows (草甸), 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 (肉食者) 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 (发送器) to an adult female after she has nested on the beach. Turtle-tagging is also a cheaper option, costing less than 1 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. 12 How do researchers follow the turtles? A. With satellite images. B. With movement maps. C. With underwater cameras. D. With satellite tracking devices. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15 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. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍沙特阿拉伯研究人员通过给绿海龟安装卫星追踪设备，借助海龟寻找海草草甸，解决“蓝碳”项目中海草分布数据缺失问题，为环保政策制定提供关键数据。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The scientists satellite - tagged 53 green turtles between 2018 and 2021 to track their movements while hunting for food.(2018年至2021年间，科学家们给53只绿海龟安装了卫星追踪标签，以追踪它们觅食时的活动)”可知，研究人员是通过卫星追踪设备来跟踪海龟的。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, according to the study, “blue carbon” projects are blocked by gaps in our understanding of the distribution and extent of seagrasses.(然而，根据这项研究，“蓝碳”项目受到我们对海草分布和范围认识不足的阻碍)”可知，“蓝碳”项目面临的挑战是海草数据不完整。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Green turtles are increasing in some areas and the reptiles are much easier to tag(在一些地区，绿海龟的数量正在增加，而且这种爬行动物更容易被贴上标签)”和第五段“Turtle - tagging is also a cheaper option, costing less than 1 percent of the tens of millions of dollars required to use technology such as planes fitted with special sensors.(给海龟贴标签也是一种更便宜的选择，成本不到使用配备特殊传感器的飞机等技术所需数千万美元的1%)”可知，与其他方法相比，给海龟贴标签更具成本效益。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, according to the study, “blue carbon” projects are blocked by gaps in our understanding of the distribution and extent of seagrasses.(“我们的研究为红海提供了关键数据，这将帮助红海沿岸国家制定保护策略和蓝碳计划”)”可知，给海龟贴标签研究的主要目的是为保护策略提供数据。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。 Imagine you are waiting for a lunch appointment all morning, too anxious to read or take a walk, just watching the clock. ____16____ 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. ____17____ 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. ____18____ 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. ____19____ Set a timer(计时器) to complete small goals, like cleaning your desk before the alarm rings, and reward yourself afterward. ____20____ 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. 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. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“等待模式”产生的原因以及如何克服它。 【16题详解】 上文提到“Imagine you are waiting for a lunch appointment all morning, too anxious to read or take a walk, just watching the clock.(想象一下，你整个上午都在等待午餐约会，焦虑得无法阅读或散步，只是盯着时钟)”可知，选项承接上文说明等待时的不良影响。B选项“然后你会发现很难享受当下”符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 前文提到“Several factors contribute to this feeling. For some, worries about forgetting the event or losing track of time lead to overfocusing on it.(有几个因素导致了这种感觉。对一些人来说，担心忘记这件事或忘记时间会导致过度关注它)”，此处是在列举导致“等待模式”的不同因素，x选项与前文的“For some”相对应，讲述另一部分人的情况，F选项“其他人则难以感知时间过去了多少”符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 前文提到“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.(如果焦虑占据上风，试试5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1方法：说出你看到的五件事、四种声音、三种触觉、两种气味和一种味道)”可知，选项承接上文对前文方法的效果进行说明。A选项“这会将你的注意力从担忧上转移开”符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 后文提到“Set a timer(计时器) to complete small goals, like cleaning your desk before the alarm rings, and reward yourself afterward.(设置一个计时器来完成小目标，比如在闹钟响之前清理你的桌子，然后奖励自己)”可知，选项引出下文将任务变成游戏的内容。E选项“为了让等待不那么无聊，把任务变成游戏)”，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 后文提到“However, with the right tools and strategies, you can take back control and ease the anxiety of anticipation.(然而，有了正确的工具和策略，你可以重新获得控制权，缓解期待带来的焦虑)”可知，根据However可知，前文应是阐述“等待模式”的负面情况，D选项““等待模式”会浪费时间并增加压力”符合语境。故选D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.

When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and coward (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brother and sister, caring and helping each other. It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough he was to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed. One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn’t want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together — just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits. In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help on a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned. “Are you okay?” My brother asked from the driver’s seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared. Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱的). It was my turn to give him help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hours later, the rescue team found us. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It was my turn to give him help. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my own racing heart. Look at me, Matthew. We’re siblings, and I will always be with you. Slowly but surely, we managed to free ourselves from the seat belts and crawled out of the car. I clumsily applied a clean cloth on his arm to stop bleeding and tried to bandage his wound carefully. After searching the trunk, I found a colourful rope and used it to make a large SOS sign in the sand, hoping to be found. Hours later, the rescue team found us. They praised us for our self rescue awareness, saying they were on duty when they found our sign. I knew it was my care for my brother that gave me courage to stay cool. It’s ugly but I love it. Thank you, my dear sister, staring at the bandage on his arm, Matthew showed a comfort smile, weak but proud. With the help of the rescue team, we safely returned home. I finally understood that true sibling love came from company, care and help. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者出生时哥哥马修因想要弟弟而失望，常捉弄作者。但哥哥上大学后，二人关系逐渐改变，一起经历诸多事。此次沙漠越野冒险中，车翻后哥哥受伤，轮到作者帮助他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“轮到我来帮助他了。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何帮助哥哥。作者先镇定自己，与哥哥一起解开安全带爬出车子，为哥哥处理伤口并在沙地上用绳子摆出求救信号，突出作者在危机中对哥哥的救助行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时后，救援队找到了我们。”可知，第二段可描写救援队发现他们后的情景。救援队赞扬他们的自救意识，哥哥感谢作者，二人平安回家，作者领悟到真正的手足之情源于陪伴、关心和帮助，升华主题。 2.续写线索：作者镇定自己 —— 和哥哥脱困 —— 处理伤口 —— 摆出求救信号 —— 救援队发现 —— 哥哥感谢 —— 平安回家 —— 领悟手足之情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解开：free /untie ②处理伤口：apply...to stop bleeding /bandage the wound ③摆出：make /create 情绪类： ①镇定：calm/soothe ②欣慰： comfort/relief 【点睛】【高分句型 1】I took a deep breath, trying to calm my own racing heart.（运用了现在分词伴状语语 ） 【高分句型 2】I knew it was my care for my brother that gave me courage to stay cool.（运用了强调句 it was...that...） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 荆州市2024—2025学年高二年级质量检测 英语试卷 2025. 7. 2 本试卷共12页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 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。 例：How much is the shirt??

Paris The 19th district is home to several new openings. La Geode cinema offers the chance to see an IMAX film inside a giant disco ball — if the film’s in French, headsets providing an English translation are available for hire. Nearby is a new food hall Boom Villette, which also hosts live music. lageode.fr; boomvillette com Turin Once the capital of Italy, this often-overlooked city keeps a timeless elegance with grand buildings and covered walkways.

Nearby, Khan, the Svilicic family’s newly adopted Doberman, watched her intently. The 90-pound creature had endured months of abuse from his previous owner before his rescue. Yet, over four short days, he’d begun to relax—tail wagging madly when Charlotte offered him her snacks. 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 (尿片), 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 (兽医) 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 making sure he knows how loved he is.” Khan’s recovery was slow but successful. He and Charlotte became inseparable—she’d nap against his side, tiny hand resting on his scarred body. The Svilicics fixed a snake-proof fence but knew no barrier could match the loyalty of their four-legged guardian. For the Svilicics, every wag of his tail was a reminder: kindness always finds its way back to you, often when least expected. 4. Why did Khan jump at Charlotte? A. He mistook her for a threat. B. He attempted to defend her. C. He disliked her terrible snacks. D. He suffered constant abuse from her. 5. Which best describes Khan’s personality? A. Playful but decisive. B. Tough but aggressive. C. Sharp and protective. D. Loyal and independent. 6. What can be inferred about the family’s future actions? A. They will fix a barrier to stop snakes. B. They will avoid gardening in the yard. C. They will prioritize Khan’s well-being. D. They will train Khan to hunt for snakes. 7. What is the best title for the story? A. A Heroic Rescue B. Live Side By Side C. A Narrow Escape D. Return Good For Evil C People are taking their health into their own hands it seems, as nearly half of UK adults (48%) have turned to online health information to self-diagnose in the past year, with 18% of 16-24-year-olds doing so at least four times, according to an AXA survey of 4,000 people. The trend reflects growing reliance on digital resources in social media for health advice. 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 (多动症) 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 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 1 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.” 8. What is Paragraph 2 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. TikTok symptom checklists contributed to self-diagnosis. 9. What does the underlined word “backlogs”mean in Paragraph3? A. Technical errors. B. Staff shortages. C. Public complaints. D. Accumulated tasks. 10. 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. 11. 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 healthcare advice. D Researchers in Saudi Arabia have discovered a surprising new method for locating seagrass meadows (草甸), 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 (肉食者) 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 (发送器) to an adult female after she has nested on the beach. Turtle-tagging is also a cheaper option, costing less than 1 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. 12.

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. ____17____ 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. ____18____ 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. ____19____ Set a timer(计时器) to complete small goals, like cleaning your desk before the alarm rings, and reward yourself afterward. ____20____ 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. 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.

When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and coward (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brother and sister, caring and helping each other. It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough he was to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed. One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn’t want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together — just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits. In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help on a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned. “Are you okay?” My brother asked from the driver’s seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared. Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱). It was my turn to give him help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hours later, the rescue team found us. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
