Surely it’s unavoidable (不可避免的) that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments. But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals (治愈) the wounds of your own inner child? A mom named Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other. Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children. “I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was bread instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.” Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies (千禧一代) really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed. 4. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage? A. To show the physical tiredness of raising children. B. To describe the development of children’s personalities. C. To stress parents’ constant concerns about their children. D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children. 5. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia? A. To share the video taken by her son. B. To ask about the recipe of the lunch her son liked. C. To invite Soogia to cook lunch for the children together. D To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school. 6. What makes Soogia feel comforted? A. Her child is popular on TikTok. B. Her child can enjoy sharing meals with classmates. C. Her child has gained friendship and recognition at school. D. Her child needn’t feel ashamed of their cultural background. 7. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children? A. Open-minded and accepting. B. Caring and persistent. C. Adventurous and decisive. D. Friendly and determined. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Soogia因女儿在学校分享食物的经历而感到慰藉的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. (正如伊丽莎白·斯通曾经说过：“有了孩子，就像你的心在外面四处走动。”你把他们送到学校，希望世界能善待他们，因为当他们受到伤害时，你也会受到伤害)”可推知，文章开头引用伊丽莎白·斯通的话是为了强调父母对孩子的持续牵挂。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. (这位同学的母亲告诉她，她的儿子很喜欢Soogia女儿带到学校的食物，也想学习如何烹饪)”可知，同学的母亲给Soogia打电话是为了询问她儿子喜欢的午餐的食谱。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was bread instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.” (“我想我从未想过，我的孩子们会成为这样一代人——他们去上学，不仅能自豪地享用自己的食物，还能和那些心胸开阔的其他孩子分享，” Soogia哽咽着说，“他们不会独自坐在那里吃饭，不会感到羞耻，不会希望自己的炒饭变成面包之类的东西。我知道，这听起来微不足道，甚至有点傻，但想到他们在学校的经历与我的如此不同，而且是朝着这么积极的方向，就觉得充满希望。”)”可推知，Soogia感到安慰的是她的孩子在学校里获得了友谊和认可。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open,” Soogia said through tears. (“我想我从未想过，我的孩子们会成为这样一代人——他们去上学，不仅能自豪地享用自己的食物，还能和那些心胸开阔的其他孩子分享，” Soogia哽咽着说)”以及最后一段中“These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. (这些千禧一代真的是不同的一代，更善良的一代)”可推知，Soogia认为新一代的孩子思想开放、善于接纳。故选A。 C Research in Scientific Reports shows cats are better than human babies at a simple language comprehension test. Previous studies found that cats can recognize not only their own names but those of familiar humans and animals. But can they link words to objects? To test this theory, Saho Takagi and her team gave 31 adult cats a simple word game used to test the same ability in human babies. They showed the cats two nine-second cartoon clips (电影片段), in which the cats’ owners repeated made-up words while the images were shown. These two clips — a red sun labeled “paramo” and a blue unicorn labeled “keraru” — were repeated until the cats got bored and paid 50% less attention to the screen. After a short break, the clips were shown again, but this time, half of the pairings of words and images were changed. The changed clips visibly affected the cats. When “paramo” was shown with the unicorn and “keraru” was shown with the sun, the cats stared at the screen 15% longer. The cats were sensitive to this change and were clearly confused by it, which is good evidence that they had formed a link between the words and images. The experiment revealed that the cats were able to learn the combinations from just two nine-second exposures — significantly faster than babies, who required at least four 20-second trials. However, one should not read too much into these comparisons. “Comparing adult cats to baby isn’t fair as they are different species at different life stages,” said Dr. Carlo Siracusa, an animal behaviorist at the University of Pennsylvania. “Moreover, some cats were left out of the study, which caused bias (偏见) — not a fault of the research, and working with cats in experiments is difficult.” he added. Despite its limitations, the study does show that cats are capable of forming picture-word associations, although whether this is an inborn ability or a product of domestication (驯养) is unknown. 8. Cats’ picture-word association ability is proved by _______. A. sudden refusal to watch the screen B. complete loss of attention to the screen C. longer staring duration when pairs changed D. frequent physical interaction with the screen 9. What might be a possible limitation of the study according to the text? A. The sample size of cats was too large. B. Some cats were not included in the study. C. The clips were too difficult for cats to understand. D. The clips were too short to draw accurate conclusions. 10. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE? A. Cats’ ability to form associations is definitely inborn. B. Cats learned the word-image combinations slower than babies. C. The study is based on cats’ established name recognition ability. D. The changed pairings of words and images had no effect on cats. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A popular science magazine. B. A science fiction novel. C. A children’s educational blog. D. An academic research paper. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于猫的语言理解能力的研究及结果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When “paramo” was shown with the unicorn and “keraru” was shown with the sun, the cats stared at the screen 15% longer. The cats were sensitive to this change and were clearly confused by it, which is good evidence that they had formed a link between the words and images. (当“paramo”与独角兽的图像一同出现、“keraru”与太阳的图像一同出现时，猫咪注视屏幕的时间延长了15%。猫咪对这种变化很敏感，显然对此感到困惑，这充分证明它们已经在词语和图像之间建立了联系)”可知，当词语与图像的配对改变时，猫注视屏幕的时间更长，这证明了它们的图文联想能力。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Moreover, some cats were left out of the study, which caused bias — not a fault of the research, and working with cats in experiments is difficult. (此外，一些猫咪未被纳入这项研究，这造成了偏见——这并非研究本身的过错，而且用猫咪做实验本就难度很大)”可知，部分猫未被纳入研究是该研究可能存在的局限性。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Previous studies found that cats can recognize not only their own names but those of familiar humans and animals. But can they link words to objects? (先前的研究发现，猫不仅能认出自己的名字，还能认出熟悉的人和动物的名字。但它们能将词语与物体联系起来吗？)”可知，该研究基于猫已被证实的名字识别能力，进一步探究其词语与物体的联想能力。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Research in Scientific Reports shows cats are better than human babies at a simple language comprehension test. (《科学报告》上的研究表明，猫在简单的语言理解测试中比人类婴儿表现得更好)”及全文内容可知，文章介绍了一项关于猫的语言理解能力的研究，内容通俗易懂，兼具科学性和可读性，符合科普杂志的特点。故选A。 D In 1240, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Ⅱ built Castel del Monte on a lonely hill in central Puglia, where he had a perfect view of approaching enemies. He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. Officially, UNESCO honor s places that exemplify (是……的典范) an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says, “tourism is double-edged for places considered of ‘outstanding value to humanity’. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources — human and natural — upon which the industry is ultimately built.” There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these sites became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. 12. What can we learn about Castel del Monte? A. It was originally built to enjoy the view. B. It serves as a Coca-Cola distribution base. C. It offers no practical value to the local economy. D. It has transformed into a popular tourist destination. 13. Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cuss” in paragraph 2? A. Disaster. B. Relief. C. Solution. D. Opportunity. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. All UNESCO-designated sites have received proper follow-up preservation. B. The early UNESCO designations failed to consider the long-term impact on sites. C. Economic benefits from tourism always outweigh environmental and cultural risks. D. Africa and Eastern Europe are the only regions taking action on cultural preservation. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Is UNESCO Helpful in Driving Global Tourism? B. How Can a Place Be Included in the UNESCO List? C. Why Is It Important to Market World Heritage Site Tours? D. Does Identifying World Heritage Sites Do More Harm Than Good? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍卡斯特尔德尔蒙特城堡的变迁，探讨了联合国教科文组织 (UNESCO) 世界遗产地认定所带来的影响，包括积极和消极两方面，并强调了后续保护措施的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. (但现在，这座古老的城堡已被清理得一尘不染，数百辆色彩斑斓的普尔曼巴士沿着蜿蜒的道路驶向城堡的场地，现在这里摆满了T恤摊、可口可乐标志和一个能停200辆车的停车场。这一切都要归功于联合国教科文组织在1996年将其列为世界遗产)”可知，卡斯特尔德尔蒙特城堡如今已经变成了一个受欢迎的旅游胜地。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify (是……典范) an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. (从官方角度看，联合国教科文组织表彰那些能体现一个地区祖先遗产的地方，目的是确保它们得到保护。从非官方角度看，这一称号就像一种仙尘，常常让鲜为人知的文化遗址一夜之间成为旅游热点。这既是礼物，也是cuss)”和下文“ Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says, “tourism is double-edged for places considered of ‘outstanding value to humanity’. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources — human and natural — upon which the industry is ultimately built.”(世界观察研究所（World Watch Institute）高级顾问Lisa Mastny表示：“对于那些被认为‘对人类具有突出价值’的地方来说，旅游业是一把双刃剑。它为许多贫困社区提供了获得经济回报的机会，但也威胁到该行业最终赖以建立的人力和自然资源。”)”可知，联合国教科文组织对文化遗址的认定既有好处也有坏处，由此可推测cuss与“Disaster”意思相近，意为“灾难”。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these sites became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). (人们越来越意识到，如果没有某种后续的保护计划，赋予联合国教科文组织的称号就毫无价值，甚至更糟，还会造成危害。国际文化遗产保护与修复研究中心 (ICCROM) 遗址部门负责人约瑟夫·金 (Joseph King) 表示：“在早期，人们并没有太多关注这些遗址成为世界遗产后会发生什么。但这种情况正在慢慢改变。”)”可知，早期联合国教科文组织的认定并没有考虑到遗址成为世界遗产后的长期影响，而现在这种情况正在慢慢改变。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify (是……的典范) an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. (从官方角度看，联合国教科文组织表彰那些能体现一个地区祖先遗产的地方，目的是确保它们得到保护。从非官方角度看，这一称号就像一种仙尘，常常让鲜为人知的文化遗址一夜之间成为旅游热点。这既是礼物，也是灾难)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了联合国教科文组织世界遗产地认定所带来的影响，包括积极和消极两方面，并强调了后续保护措施的重要性，由此可知，D项“认定世界遗产地弊大于利吗？”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 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。 Going to the gym can be something that many people find a tiring experience. ___16___ Most weight-related exercises require 6–8 repetitions per set, performed consistently over three months to get results. Besides, there is nothing more boring than endless running on a running machine. But what if there were a way to ease the boredom of exercise while still getting a good work out? ___17___ In the past, “playing video games was a sedentary (久坐不动的) experience,” says Jo Stauffer of the VR Health Institute, “but VR changes all of that”. He says that the room-scale experience engages your body in full. ___18___ In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves fitter. There are already many virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time. The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by tech companies. ___19___ They are making a new fitness machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. ___20___ A. This is where virtual reality (VR) may help. B. Many VR games are played while standing. C. The answer lies in the benefits of innovation. D. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. E. It takes time and effort, and it can be extremely boring. F. VR games are becoming more and more popular among young people. G. But for those who are looking for a new way to exercise, it may be worth the investment. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实技术在缓解锻炼枯燥、助力健身方面的作用及现状。 【16题详解】 上文“Going to the gym can be something that many people find a tiring experience.(去健身房对很多人来说可能是一种令人疲惫的经历)”说明健身房锻炼的问题，下文“Most weight-related exercises require 6–8 repetitions per set, performed consistently over three months to get results. Besides, there is nothing more boring than endless running on a running machine.(大多数与重量相关的锻炼每组需要6至8次重复，坚持三个月才能看到效果。此外，没有什么比在跑步机上无休止地跑步更无聊的了)”具体说明锻炼的耗时、费力和无聊，空处需总结健身的特点，E选项“它需要时间和努力，而且可能非常无聊”承上启下，“it”指代去健身房锻炼，与上下文内容呼应，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文“But what if there were a way to ease the boredom of exercise while still getting a good work out?(但是，如果有一种方法既能缓解锻炼的无聊，又能达到良好的锻炼效果呢？)”提出一种假设，询问是否有解决锻炼无聊问题的方法，空处承接上文，A选项“这就是虚拟现实（VR）可能会有所帮助的地方” 回答了上文的问题，引出虚拟现实这一解决方案，“this”指代缓解锻炼无聊同时保证效果的需求，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 下文“In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.(为了正确地玩游戏，玩家必须四处移动，挥舞手臂或使用双腿)”说明玩这类游戏需要移动身体，空处应该与玩虚拟现实游戏时玩家的身体状态相关，B选项“许多虚拟现实游戏是站着玩的”与下文衔接，“standing”为玩家移动身体做了铺垫，符合逻辑。故选B。 【19题详解】 上文“The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by tech companies.(科技公司已经注意到虚拟现实帮助人们健身的潜力)”指出科技公司关注VR健身的潜力，下文“They are making a new fitness machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset.(他们正在制造一种新的健身机器，设计用于与VR头显配合使用)”说明科技公司的具体行动，空处需体现科技公司的行动方向，D选项“他们想把整个体验带入健身房”承上启下，“they”指代科技公司，承接上文科技公司注意到VR的潜力，引出下文制造的健身机器，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out.(然而，设备的成本很高，还有一些安全问题需要解决)”指出VR健身设备的缺点，空处应对这些问题进行权衡或给出建议，G选项“但对于那些正在寻找新的锻炼方式的人来说，这可能值得投资”与上文形成转折，说明尽管有缺点，但对特定人群仍有价值，符合语境。故选G。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It wasn’t love at first sight between Simon and me.

My T-shirt was soon wet with sweat as I waited in the parking lot. Experienced runners surrounded me, all wearing appropriate clothes for the intense heat. At the age of 53, I was about to train for my first half marathon. This was my plan for building friendships in an unknown city. Houston was quite different from Southern California where I grew up, went to college, married, and raised two daughters. Moving here due to my husband’s job transfer(调动) was a real challenge, especially at a time when many of my friends were thinking about retirement. With my daughters grown, gone were the days of PTA meetings, team mom duties, and attending my children’s high school events. How could I make any friends in a city where I hardly knew anyone? What would each day look like? Would my two aging dogs be my only companions(伙伴)? The answer arrived when Annie, the real estate agent, unexpectedly called me one day. “Dana, would you be interested in joining the local chapter of USA Fit here in town?” Honestly, I had no idea what she was talking about. What I did know was that Annie was a runner. I had even heard her mention marathons before. “What does it involve? I mean, is this about running? But that’s just not my thing.” I was hoping she would hear the disinterest in my voice. Not Annie! She didn’t give up easily. “Come on! You’ll love it! It’s a group of runners and walkers who meet for six months, training for the Houston Marathon and Half Marathon. You’ll make friends, Dana. Trust me.” Excuses raced through my mind, but Annie’s promise of potential friendships won me over. The prospect of connecting with others who shared a common goal was irresistible and soon I found myself standing among the “purple people”, the group of half marathon walkers, on that first training day. 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。 The experienced walkers welcomed me with open arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the race day, I felt both physically and emotionally prepared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The expertenced walkers welcomed me with open arms. For the next six months, my group members never left my side. They patiently taught me the basics of finishing a half marathon. They emphasized the importance of pacing, stretching, proper footwear and listening to my body. Every Saturday we took training courses together and shared stories of our lives, while pursuing the goal of completing the half marathon. Gradually, I came to believe I could walk the half marathon at the rapid pace required by the sponsors. On the race day. I felt both physically and emotionally prepared. As I set off, I reminded myself of all the training sessions that had prepared me for this moment. And whenever doubt appeared. a friendly voice from the group would shout, “You’ve got this, Dana!” Their encouragement and firm belief pushed me forward step by step. Eventually, I completed my first half marathon. As I stood among my “purple people”, exchanging sweaty hugs and smiles of victory. I knew that beyond the physical achievement. I had found a community where I belonged and made lifelong good friends. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者搬到新城市以后，从一名跑步新手在经验丰富的跑者团队的帮助和支持下，逐步成长并最终成功完成首次半程马拉松比赛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“经验丰富的参加竞走者张开双手安排我。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何被经验丰富的竞走者所接纳，并与他们建立起友谊。 ②由第二段首句内容“在比赛当天，我感到自己的身心都已做好了充分的准备。”可知，第二段可描写作者比赛当天的感受，以及比赛后的收获和展望。 2.续写线索：团队协作——信念与坚持——比赛日挑战——收获与归属感 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①欢迎：welcome/greet/embrace ②参加训练：take training courses/attend training classes/participate in training ③强调：emphasize/stress/highlight 情绪类 ①鼓励：encourage/motivate/inspire ②信念：belief/conviction/faith 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Every Saturday we took training courses together and shared stories of our lives, while pursuing the goal of completing the half marathon.(由连词while引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】 Gradually, I came to believe I could walk the half marathon at the rapid pace required by the sponsors.(省略连接词that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年春季期高二期末教学质量监测 英语 （本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1.答题前，务必将自己的姓名、学校、班级、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2.答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。 3.答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4.所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 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.

B As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s unavoidable (不可避免的) that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments. But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals (治愈) the wounds of your own inner child? A mom named Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other. Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children. “I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was bread instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.” Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies (千禧一代) really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed. 4. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage? A. To show the physical tiredness of raising children. B. To describe the development of children’s personalities. C. To stress parents’ constant concerns about their children. D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children. 5. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia? A. To share the video taken by her son. B. To ask about the recipe of the lunch her son liked. C. To invite Soogia to cook lunch for the children together. D. To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school. 6. What makes Soogia feel comforted? A. Her child is popular on TikTok. B. Her child can enjoy sharing meals with classmates. C. Her child has gained friendship and recognition at school. D. Her child needn’t feel ashamed of their cultural background. 7. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children? A. Open-minded and accepting. B. Caring and persistent. C. Adventurous and decisive. D. Friendly and determined. C Research in Scientific Reports shows cats are better than human babies at a simple language comprehension test. Previous studies found that cats can recognize not only their own names but those of familiar humans and animals. But can they link words to objects? To test this theory, Saho Takagi and her team gave 31 adult cats a simple word game used to test the same ability in human babies. They showed the cats two nine-second cartoon clips (电影片段), in which the cats’ owners repeated made-up words while the images were shown. These two clips — a red sun labeled “paramo” and a blue unicorn labeled “keraru” — were repeated until the cats got bored and paid 50% less attention to the screen. After a short break, the clips were shown again, but this time, half of the pairings of words and images were changed. The changed clips visibly affected the cats. When “paramo” was shown with the unicorn and “keraru” was shown with the sun, the cats stared at the screen 15% longer. The cats were sensitive to this change and were clearly confused by it, which is good evidence that they had formed a link between the words and images. The experiment revealed that the cats were able to learn the combinations from just two nine-second exposures — significantly faster than babies, who required at least four 20-second trials. However one should not read too much into these comparisons. “Comparing adult cats to baby isn’t fair as they are different species at different life stages,” said Dr. Carlo Siracusa, an animal behaviorist at the University of Pennsylvania. “Moreover, some cats were left out of the study, which caused bias (偏见) — not a fault of the research, and working with cats in experiments is difficult.” he added. Despite its limitations, the study does show that cats are capable of forming picture-word associations, although whether this is an inborn ability or a product of domestication (驯养) is unknown. 8. Cats’ picture-word association ability is proved by _______. A. sudden refusal to watch the screen B. complete loss of attention to the screen C. longer staring duration when pairs changed D. frequent physical interaction with the screen 9. What might be a possible limitation of the study according to the text? A. The sample size of cats was too large. B. Some cats were not included in the study. C. The clips were too difficult for cats to understand. D. The clips were too short to draw accurate conclusions. 10. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE? A. Cats’ ability to form associations is definitely inborn. B. Cats learned the word-image combinations slower than babies. C. The study is based on cats’ established name recognition ability. D. The changed pairings of words and images had no effect on cats. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A popular science magazine. B. A science fiction novel. C. A children’s educational blog. D. An academic research paper. D In 1240, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Ⅱ built Castel del Monte on a lonely hill in central Puglia, where he had a perfect view of approaching enemies. He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. Officially, UNESCO honor s places that exemplify (是……的典范) an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says, “tourism is double-edged for places considered of ‘outstanding value to humanity’. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources — human and natural — upon which the industry is ultimately built.” There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these sites became World Heritage.

My T-shirt was soon wet with sweat as I waited in the parking lot. Experienced runners surrounded me, all wearing appropriate clothes for the intense heat. At the age of 53, I was about to train for my first half marathon. This was my plan for building friendships in an unknown city. Houston was quite different from Southern California where I grew up, went to college, married, and raised two daughters. Moving here due to my husband’s job transfer(调动) was a real challenge, especially at a time when many of my friends were thinking about retirement. With my daughters grown, gone were the days of PTA meetings, team mom duties, and attending my children’s high school events. How could I make any friends in a city where I hardly knew anyone? What would each day look like? Would my two aging dogs be my only companions(伙伴)? The answer arrived when Annie, the real estate agent, unexpectedly called me one day. “Dana, would you be interested in joining the local chapter of USA Fit here in town?” Honestly, I had no idea what she was talking about. What I did know was that Annie was a runner. I had even heard her mention marathons before. “What does it involve? I mean, is this about running? But that’s just not my thing.” I was hoping she would hear the disinterest in my voice. Not Annie! She didn’t give up easily. “Come on! You’ll love it! It’s a group of runners and walkers who meet for six months, training for the Houston Marathon and Half Marathon. You’ll make friends, Dana. Trust me.” Excuses raced through my mind but Annie’s promise of potential friendships won me over. The prospect of connecting with others who shared a common goal was irresistible and soon I found myself standing among the “purple people”, the group of half marathon walkers, on that first training day. 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。 The experienced walkers welcomed me with open arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the race day, I felt both physically and emotionally prepared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
