Such measures help travelers build a list of once-in-a-lifetime spots to visit. Here are some that you can start with. Rome’s Legendary Colosseum Launched in A.D. 80, the Colosseum is a masterpiece of engineering, which provides a tour to trace Rome’s history. Built to accommodate an estimated 50,000 audience, the theater was originally covered in white limestone. Beneath the wooden floor are visible cages where beasts like rhinos, lions, tigers, and crocodiles-were housed before contests. Wildlife Wonders in Botswana Botswana is one of southern Africa’s dream destinations for animal lovers. The area sustains the planet’s most endangered animals, ranging from cheetahs to wattled cranes to white pelicans. From navigating waterways in wooden boat to camping in national parks, a family-friendly safari here can excite tired teens. Dinosaur Fossils in Canada Dinosaur Provincial Park gives paleontologists (古生物学家) a chance to explore landscapes where experts have discovered more than 35 species of dinosaur. The park offers a schedule of family-friendly fossil safaris, guided activities, and dinosaur displays. They can also camp out under the stars and dream of the days. Shadow Puppets in Indonesia Shadows come to life in the artful hands of an Indonesian master puppeteer (皮影师), an expert storyteller who operates leather puppets behind a screen to create amazing dramas for audience. It’s also on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, a special title for living traditions that help tell the tales of our shared humanity. 1. Who might prefer visiting the Colosseum in Rome ?

It is enjoyed in front of a computer screen C. It is on UNESCO’s list of Natural Heritage. D. It is an original creation of a leather master. B Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) is often recognized as the founder of modern physics, perhaps even the father of modern science itself. But this popular image overlooks an important fact of his Renaissance (文艺复兴) personality: Galileo the artist. Art and science have always been connected, and Galileo proved how they can inspire and inform one another. In addition to being a skilled observer and a sharp thinker, he was a talented artist, trained in cutting-edge perspective (透视法) techniques pioneered by his fellow Italian artists. His artistic sensibility played a key role in his scientific understanding, leading some 400 years ago to a new picture of the universe. Much of this sensibility came from his training at the Florentine Design Academy, where he was exposed to the latest artistic techniques. This specialized knowledge paid off when Galileo first aimed his telescope at the Moon. While light and dark areas on the Moon were visible to the eye, his telescope discovered what appeared to be mountains and valleys. So, he drew what he saw and tried to make sense of it. “He must have drawn on the tricks of perspective that he had learned years before,” says Eileen Reeves, a professor at Princeton University. For Galileo, “drawing was a means of discovery, and a form of thinking.” Galileo paid particular attention to the features visible along the terminator (明暗界线), the line that divides the light and dark parts of the Moon. He noticed how the peaks of mountains on the dark side were lit up first, with the sunlight slowly making its way down their sides. And only someone as skilled as Galileo could see that mountains on the Moon were just like the mountains here on Earth — once he understood the viewpoint from which they were being seen. 4. What aspect of Galileo is highlighted in the text? A. His contributions to modern physics. B. His influence during the Renaissance. C. His identity as both scientist and artist. D. His sensitivity to scientific understanding. 5. How did Galileo better understand the Moon’s surface? A. By drawing with perspective skills. B. By using the most advanced telescope. C. By reviewing literature on the Moon. D. By applying knowledge of astronomy. 6. What does paragraph 4 indicate about Galileo? A. He linked imagination with science. B. He received help from Italian artists. C. He researched the movement of light. D. He applied art to scientific observation. 7. Which word best describes Galileo’s character? A. Grateful. B. Innovative. C. Ambitious. D. Independent. C Cataracts (白内障), the number one health threat affect about 94 million people worldwide making the eye lens (晶状体) cloudy and causing poor eyesight. Widely acknowledged causes of cataracts include genes and aging. But recent studies suggest another factor for cataracts and other eye diseases — climate change. An Indian farmer Alka Kamble suffers from cataracts due to long-term exposure to heat. “Stronger heatwaves across India are unbearable,” says Kamble. As global temperatures rise, the risk of heatstroke and damage to eye proteins increases. Data shows that each 1℃ rise in temperature increases cataract cases by 370.8 per 100,000 people. Farmers working outdoors are especially at risk. Climate change also increases eye exposure to UV radiation. This speeds up cataract formation and harms eye cells. Other eye diseases like pink eye and cornea inflammation are becoming more common. Statistics show that higher temperatures increase the risk of pink eye by 16%. More allergy-causing things like pollen (花粉), linked to climate change, contribute to eye problems. Beyond these direct impacts, climate-driven droughts cause food shortages of essential nutrients, such as vitamins B12 and copper, which increase the risk of damage to the visual nerve. Droughts also force people to use unsafe water, increasing the risk of eye infections. Researchers propose several ways to protect eyes from climate-related harm. Most importantly, outdoor workers should be given enough shade and regular breaks to cool down. Eating foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E is an important measure. Reducing greenhouse gases and harmful chemicals is key to protecting eye health at a global level. It is time to focus on the issues of climate-driven heat, droughts, and nutrient shortages. It is not only about protecting our eye health but also about protecting human beings. 8. What is a widely recognized cause of cataracts? A. UV radiation. B. Aging problems. C. Unsafe water. D. Lack of vitamins. 9. What are the statistics intended to illustrate in paragraphs 2 and 3? A. The danger in raising pink eye risks. B. The necessity in doing labour indoors. C. The importance of eye health protection. D. The severity of climate-driven eye diseases. 10. What is recommended to protect eyes health? A. Studying allergy-causing things. B. Consuming food high in protein. C. Avoiding long-term exposure to heat. D. Forbidding greenhouse gas emissions. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Global Droughts Are Worsening Cataracts B. Indian Farmers Are Suffering Eye Diseases C. Climates Change Is Threatening Eye Health D. Raising Temperature Is Damaging Visual Nerve D Over breakfast one morning, a language learner named Alex chatted with Mia, a Spanish study partner. During the ten-minute exchange, Alex explained vocabulary and sentence structures. Surprisingly, this short conversation helped Alex remember more than an hour of textbook exercises would have. But Mia wasn’t real — she was an AI partner Alex had created to model the experience of teaching someone else. This approach is based on a psychological principle known as the protege effect. The protege effect suggests that we learn more deeply when we teach others. This concept dates back to the 1980s, when a teacher in Germany, Jean-Pol Martin, allowed his students to research and present material to their classmates. The technique, called “Lernen durch Lehren” in German, led to better motivation and communication skills among the students. In one study, researchers asked students to study biological processes using a digital flow chart. Some were told it was just for their own use, while others were informed that the chart would be used to teach a cartoon character. The result suggested that those who believed they were teaching learned significantly more and showed stronger performance on tests. Interestingly, the greatest improvement was seen in the lower-performing students, who matched the scores of the top students in the self-study group. Why does this effect occur? Researchers believe that when we expect to teach, we feel more accountable. We make greater efforts to fill gaps in our knowledge, correct misunderstandings, and organize our thoughts clearly. Explaining something aloud forces us to process information at a deeper level. You don’t need a real person to use this technique. AI tools can play the role of a curious learner. Whether with a classmate, or a chatbot, teaching can be one of the most effective ways to learn. 12. Why does the author mention Alex in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a learning concept. B. To criticize traditional teaching methods. C. To compare different language learning habits D. To emphasize the significance of language acquisition. 13 Which of the following situation demonstrates the protege effect? A. Participating in a group discussion. B. Giving a speech on a research project. C. Engaging in a community service activity. D. Explaining a math problem to a classmate. 14. What was the key difference between the two groups in the study? A. The learning tools they used. B. The importance of their tasks. C. The instructions they received D. The level of their proficiency. 15. What does the underlined word “accountable” mean in paragraph 4? A. Scared. B. Responsible. C. Disappointed. D. Comfortable 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。 When you hear the word “courage”, you might think of heroes battling fearsome monsters (怪物).

She preferred hiding under the willow tree, reading her favorite book, Adventures of Captain Quibble. While books offered company and comfort, a shadow of loneliness sometimes touched her. One sunny afternoon, a newcomer named Leo approached Millie. Leo had blue eyes and a big smile. He carried a picnic basket filled with sandwiches and strawberry jam. “Can I join you?” Leo asked cheerfully. Millie, though hesitant, nodded quietly, still hiding her face behind her book. Leo began humming (哼着) a pleasant tune. Curiosity drove Millie to peek at (偷看) him from behind her book. Leo, seizing the moment, began telling his experience with naughty squirrels, which were so funny that Millie burst into laughter. It was the first time in a long while that Millie had forgotten about her book and laughed happily! Leo and Millie gradually became best friends. They spent time reading together and sharing countless stories. Leo soon discovered Millie possessed a remarkable gift - storytelling! Her stories drew inspiration from books and their peaceful village life, filled with imagination and a unique power to inspire and comfort. But then, like a stormy cloud on a picnic day, misfortune struck. Mrs. Honeybee, the kindest baker in Harmonyville, broke her ankle. With her unable to bake, the annual Honeybee Fair, the town’s biggest celebration, was threatened to be canceled! Sadness and depression blanketed the town. People gathered to figure out a solution, but no one knew what to do. Just then, Leo looked at Millie. His eyes lit up with hope. “Millie,” he said eagerly, “your stories are truly fantastic! Could you tell us something wonderful and encouraging? Perhaps we could turn the fair into a storytelling event, making it just as special, even without the cakes and candy?” 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With Leo’s encouragement, the shy girl Millie still hesitated. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Honeybee Fair came without cakes or candy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 昆明市普通高中2024~2025学年高二期末质量检测 英语 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并认真核准条形码上的准考证号、姓名、考场号、座位号及科目，在规定的位置贴好条形码。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把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，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

(从乘坐木船在水道中航行，到在国家公园露营，这里适合家庭的狩猎旅行可以让疲惫的青少年兴奋不已。)”以及Dinosaur Fossils in Canada部分中“They can also camp out under the stars and dream of the days. (他们也可以在星空下露营，梦想着那些日子。)”可知，Wildlife Wonders和the Dinosaur Fossils的共同之处是它们都提供露营的机会。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shadow Puppets in Indonesia部分中“It’s also on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, a special title for living traditions that help tell the tales of our shared humanity. (它还被联合国教科文组织列入非物质文化遗产名录，这是一个为有助于讲述我们共同人性故事的活态传统而设立的特殊称号。)”可知，印尼的皮影戏是反映人类共同性的瑰宝。故选A。 B Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) is often recognized as the founder of modern physics, perhaps even the father of modern science itself.

For Galileo, “drawing was a means of discovery, and a form of thinking.” Galileo paid particular attention to the features visible along the terminator (明暗界线), the line that divides the light and dark parts of the Moon. He noticed how the peaks of mountains on the dark side were lit up first, with the sunlight slowly making its way down their sides. And only someone as skilled as Galileo could see that mountains on the Moon were just like the mountains here on Earth — once he understood the viewpoint from which they were being seen. 4. What aspect of Galileo is highlighted in the text? A. His contributions to modern physics. B. His influence during the Renaissance. C His identity as both scientist and artist. D. His sensitivity to scientific understanding. 5. How did Galileo better understand the Moon’s surface? A. By drawing with perspective skills. B. By using the most advanced telescope. C. By reviewing literature on the Moon. D. By applying knowledge of astronomy. 6. What does paragraph 4 indicate about Galileo? A. He linked imagination with science. B. He received help from Italian artists. C. He researched the movement of light. D. He applied art to scientific observation. 7. Which word best describes Galileo’s character? A. Grateful. B. Innovative. C. Ambitious. D. Independent. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍伽利略作为科学家与艺术家的双重身份及其艺术素养对科学研究的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) is often recognized as the founder of modern physics, perhaps even the father of modern science itself. But this popular image overlooks an important fact of his Renaissance (文艺复兴) personality: Galileo the artist. (伽利略・伽利莱（1564-1642）通常被认为是现代物理学的奠基人，甚至可能是现代科学之父。但这种广为流传的形象忽略了他文艺复兴时期人格中一个重要的方面：作为艺术家的伽利略。)”以及第二段中的“Art and science have always been connected, and Galileo proved how they can inspire and inform one another.(艺术和科学一直是相互联系的，伽利略证明了它们如何相互启发和影响。)”可知，文章强调了伽利略既是科学家也是艺术家的身份。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While light and dark areas on the Moon were visible to the eye, his telescope discovered what appeared to be mountains and valleys. So, he drew what he saw and tried to make sense of it. “He must have drawn on the tricks of perspective that he had learned years before,” says Eileen Reeves, a professor at Princeton University. 虽然肉眼能看到月球上的明暗区域，但伽利略通过望远镜发现了看似山脉和峡谷的地貌。于是，他把所见画了下来，并试图理解这些景象。普林斯顿大学教授艾琳・里夫斯说：“他一定运用了多年前学到的透视技巧。”)”可知，伽利略通过运用透视技巧绘画来更好地理解月球表面。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Galileo paid particular attention to the features visible along the terminator (明暗界线), the line that divides the light and dark parts of the Moon. He noticed how the peaks of mountains on the dark side were lit up first, with the sunlight slowly making its way down their sides. (伽利略特别关注明暗界线，即月球上分隔明亮部分与黑暗部分的界线，沿线的可见特征。他观察到，黑暗一侧的山峰顶部最先被照亮，随后阳光缓缓沿着山体一侧向下蔓延。)”可知，伽利略在观察月球时，细致关注光线等细节，这体现了他将艺术中的观察技巧应用到科学观察中。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，伽利略将艺术中的透视技巧运用到对月球的科学观察与研究中，打破了艺术与科学的界限，开创了新的研究方式，这体现了他具有创新精神。因此，“Innovative（创新的）”最能描述他的性格。故选B项。 C Cataracts (白内障), the number one health threat affect about 94 million people worldwide making the eye lens (晶状体) cloudy and causing poor eyesight. Widely acknowledged causes of cataracts include genes and aging. But recent studies suggest another factor for cataracts and other eye diseases — climate change. An Indian farmer Alka Kamble suffers from cataracts due to long-term exposure to heat. “Stronger heatwaves across India are unbearable,” says Kamble. As global temperatures rise, the risk of heatstroke and damage to eye proteins increases. Data shows that each 1℃ rise in temperature increases cataract cases by 370.8 per 100,000 people. Farmers working outdoors are especially at risk. Climate change also increases eye exposure to UV radiation. This speeds up cataract formation and harms eye cells. Other eye diseases like pink eye and cornea inflammation are becoming more common. Statistics show that higher temperatures increase the risk of pink eye by 16%. More allergy-causing things like pollen (花粉), linked to climate change, contribute to eye problems. Beyond these direct impacts, climate-driven droughts cause food shortages of essential nutrients, such as vitamins B12 and copper, which increase the risk of damage to the visual nerve. Droughts also force people to use unsafe water, increasing the risk of eye infections. Researchers propose several ways to protect eyes from climate-related harm. Most importantly, outdoor workers should be given enough shade and regular breaks to cool down. Eating foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E is an important measure. Reducing greenhouse gases and harmful chemicals is key to protecting eye health at a global level. It is time to focus on the issues of climate-driven heat, droughts, and nutrient shortages. It is not only about protecting our eye health but also about protecting human beings. 8. What is a widely recognized cause of cataracts? A. UV radiation. B. Aging problems. C. Unsafe water. D. Lack of vitamins. 9. What are the statistics intended to illustrate in paragraphs 2 and 3? A. The danger in raising pink eye risks. B. The necessity in doing labour indoors. C. The importance of eye health protection. D. The severity of climate-driven eye diseases. 10. What is recommended to protect eyes health? A. Studying allergy-causing things. B. Consuming food high in protein. C. Avoiding long-term exposure to heat. D. Forbidding greenhouse gas emissions. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Global Droughts Are Worsening Cataracts B. Indian Farmers Are Suffering Eye Diseases C. Climates Change Is Threatening Eye Health D. Raising Temperature Is Damaging Visual Nerve 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化带来的高温、紫外线、干旱等加剧白内障等眼部疾病，并提出了防护建议，呼吁全球关注气候对眼部健康的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Widely acknowledged causes of cataracts include genes and aging. (公认的白内障成因包括基因和衰老)”可知，衰老问题是引起白内障的公认原因之一。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Data shows that each 1℃ rise in temperature increases cataract cases by 370.8 per 100,000 people. Farmers working outdoors are especially at risk. (数据显示，气温每升高1℃，每10万人中白内障病例增加370.8例)”和第三段中“Statistics show that higher temperatures increase the risk of pink eye by 16%. (统计数据表明，温度升高使红眼病风险增加16%)”可知，统计数据均用具体数字量化气候变暖对眼部疾病的直接影响，突出问题的严重性。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Most importantly, outdoor workers should be given enough shade and regular breaks to cool down. (最重要的是，应为户外工作者提供充足阴凉处和定期休息以降温)”可知，避免长期高温暴露是保护眼睛健康的首要建议。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“But recent studies suggest another factor for cataracts and other eye diseases — climate change. (但最新研究表明，白内障和其他眼部疾病的另一个诱因是——气候变化)”可知，文章主要指出气候变化带来的高温、紫外线、干旱等加剧白内障等眼部疾病，并提出防护建议，呼吁全球关注气候对眼部健康的影响。因此，C项“气候变化威胁眼睛健康”涵盖了核心问题，最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D Over breakfast one morning, a language learner named Alex chatted with Mia, a Spanish study partner. During the ten-minute exchange, Alex explained vocabulary and sentence structures. Surprisingly, this short conversation helped Alex remember more than an hour of textbook exercises would have. But Mia wasn’t real — she was an AI partner Alex had created to model the experience of teaching someone else. This approach is based on a psychological principle known as the protege effect. The protege effect suggests that we learn more deeply when we teach others. This concept dates back to the 1980s, when a teacher in Germany, Jean-Pol Martin, allowed his students to research and present material to their classmates. The technique, called “Lernen durch Lehren” in German, led to better motivation and communication skills among the students. In one study, researchers asked students to study biological processes using a digital flow chart. Some were told it was just for their own use, while others were informed that the chart would be used to teach a cartoon character. The result suggested that those who believed they were teaching learned significantly more and showed stronger performance on tests. Interestingly, the greatest improvement was seen in the lower-performing students, who matched the scores of the top students in the self-study group. Why does this effect occur? Researchers believe that when we expect to teach, we feel more accountable. We make greater efforts to fill gaps in our knowledge, correct misunderstandings, and organize our thoughts clearly. Explaining something aloud forces us to process information at a deeper level. You don’t need a real person to use this technique. AI tools can play the role of a curious learner. Whether with a classmate, or a chatbot, teaching can be one of the most effective ways to learn. 12. Why does the author mention Alex in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a learning concept. B. To criticize traditional teaching methods. C. To compare different language learning habits D. To emphasize the significance of language acquisition. 13. Which of the following situation demonstrates the protege effect? A. Participating in a group discussion. B. Giving a speech on a research project. C. Engaging in a community service activity. D. Explaining a math problem to a classmate. 14. What was the key difference between the two groups in the study? A. The learning tools they used. B. The importance of their tasks. C. The instructions they received D. The level of their proficiency. 15. What does the underlined word “accountable” mean in paragraph 4? A. Scared. B. Responsible. C. Disappointed. D. Comfortable 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文中通过Alex借助AI“学生”学习语言及相关研究，阐述了教学能促进学习的“门徒效应”，并解释其原理。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Over breakfast one morning, a language learner named Alex chatted with Mia, a Spanish study partner. During the ten-minute exchange, Alex explained vocabulary and sentence structures. Surprisingly, this short conversation helped Alex remember more than an hour of textbook exercises would have. But Mia wasn’t real — she was an AI partner Alex had created to model the experience of teaching someone else. This approach is based on a psychological principle known as the protege effect. (一天早餐时，一位名叫Alex的语言学习者与西班牙语学习伙伴Mia聊了天。在十分钟的交流中，Alex讲解了词汇和句型结构。令人惊讶的是，这段短暂的对话比一小时的课本练习更能帮助Alex记忆。但Mia并非真实存在 —— 她是Alex创建的人工智能伙伴，用于模拟教别人的体验。这种方法基于一种被称为“门徒效应”的心理学原理。)”可知，作者通过Alex的例子引出“门徒效应”这一学习概念。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 “The protege effect suggests that we learn more deeply when we teach others. (门徒效应表明，当我们教别人时，我们会学得更深入。)”可知，“向同学解释数学题”属于“教别人”的行为，符合门徒效应的定义。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some were told it was just for their own use, while others were informed that the chart would be used to teach a cartoon character. (一些学生被告知图表仅供自己使用，而另一些学生则被告知图表将用于教一个卡通角色。)”可知，两组学生的关键区别在于他们收到的任务指令不同。故选C项。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词后一句“We make greater efforts to fill gaps in our knowledge, correct misunderstandings, and organize our thoughts clearly. (我们会更努力地填补知识空白、纠正误解，并清晰地组织思路。)”可知，当人们预期要教学时，会感到需要对知识传递负责，因此“accountable”意为“有责任的”，与responsible同义。故选B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。 When you hear the word “courage”, you might think of heroes battling fearsome monsters (怪物).

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了培养勇气的四个实用步骤：识别并承认恐惧、制定面对计划、改变对勇气的看法，以及庆祝勇敢行为。 【16题详解】 前文“When you hear the word “courage”, you might think of heroes battling fearsome monsters (怪物). However, it simply means you’re able to take action in daily life. (当听到“勇气”这个词时，你可能会联想到英雄与可怕怪物搏斗的场景。但其实，它不过意味着你在日常生活中能够采取行动)”给出对勇气的新定义，后文段落给出变得更勇敢的具体建议，因此F项“To become more courageous, you can follow these empowering tips (想变得更勇敢，你可以遵循这些有效建议)”符合语境，承接前文的定义，引出后文的具体建议，构成“总—分”结构。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“To overcome your fears, you need to know what they are. (要克服恐惧，你首先需要认清它们是什么)”指出首先要识别恐惧，后文“They’ll end up coming back when you least expect them. (它们总会在你最意想不到的时候卷土重来)”提到恐惧会重新出现，因此D项“Trying to hide your fears away won’t do any good (试图隐藏恐惧毫无益处)”符合语境，指出隐藏恐惧没有意义，承接前文，和后文构成因果关系，其中的your fears是后文They指代的对象。故选D。 【18题详解】 前一段主要建议识别并承认恐惧，本段小标题是“Make a plan to face your fears. (制定面对恐惧的计划)”，因此C项“After identifying your fears, it’s time to face them (识别恐惧后，就该面对它们了)”符合语境，从前一段过渡到本段，呼应标题。故选C。 【19题详解】 后文“Courage isn’t just a quality you’re born with — it’s a skill you can cultivate. If being courageous doesn’t come naturally to you, don’t despair! Try to think of courage like a muscle — with training and exercise, it can grow stronger. (勇气并非与生俱来的品质，而是可以通过后天培养的技能。如果勇敢对你来说并非天性，也无需气馁！不妨把勇气想象成肌肉——通过训练和锻炼，它会变得更强壮)”解构与生俱来的勇气观，强调勇气是可培养的技能，空处是段落标题，应建议转变对勇气的看法，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，因此A项“Change your perspective on courage (改变对勇气的看法)”符合语境，统领全段主旨。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“Celebrate every time you act courageously. (每次勇敢行动后，都值得庆祝)”建议庆祝勇敢的行为，后文“your wins deserve to be celebrated (你的每一次胜利都值得庆贺)”肯定庆贺的意义，因此G项“Whether you try out for the school play or ask your boss for a promotion (无论是试镜校园戏剧还是向老板争取升职)”符合语境，举出表现勇敢的具体情境，承接前文，和后文构成让步关系。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。 In 1994, my son Nicholas went into the first grade.

She preferred hiding under the willow tree, reading her favorite book, Adventures of Captain Quibble. While books offered company and comfort, a shadow of loneliness sometimes touched her. One sunny afternoon, a newcomer named Leo approached Millie. Leo had blue eyes and a big smile. He carried a picnic basket filled with sandwiches and strawberry jam. “Can I join you?” Leo asked cheerfully. Millie, though hesitant, nodded quietly, still hiding her face behind her book. Leo began humming (哼着) a pleasant tune. Curiosity drove Millie to peek at (偷看) him from behind her book. Leo, seizing the moment, began telling his experience with naughty squirrels, which were so funny that Millie burst into laughter. It was the first time in a long while that Millie had forgotten about her book and laughed happily! Leo and Millie gradually became best friends. They spent time reading together and sharing countless stories. Leo soon discovered Millie possessed a remarkable gift - storytelling! Her stories drew inspiration from books and their peaceful village life, filled with imagination and a unique power to inspire and comfort. But then, like a stormy cloud on a picnic day, misfortune struck. Mrs. Honeybee, the kindest baker in Harmonyville, broke her ankle. With her unable to bake, the annual Honeybee Fair, the town’s biggest celebration, was threatened to be canceled! Sadness and depression blanketed the town. People gathered to figure out a solution, but no one knew what to do. Just then, Leo looked at Millie. His eyes lit up with hope. “Millie,” he said eagerly, “your stories are truly fantastic! Could you tell us something wonderful and encouraging? Perhaps we could turn the fair into a storytelling event, making it just as special, even without the cakes and candy?” 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With Leo’s encouragement, the shy girl Millie still hesitated. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Honeybee Fair came without cakes or candy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With Leo’s encouragement, the shy girl Millie still hesitated. She looked down at her shoes and whispered, “What if no one likes my stories?” Leo gave her a warm smile and said, “But I love your stories, and so will everyone else.” Encouraged by his belief in her, Millie slowly nodded. That evening, she sat up late writing a special story just for the fair — one about a brave little bee who saved the day with kindness and courage. Though nervous, she began to feel a spark of excitement. On the day of the event, Leo helped set up a cozy storytelling corner under the big oak tree. As people gathered, Millie took a deep breath, stepped forward, and began to speak. The Honeybee Fair came without cakes or candy. Instead, the town square was filled with laughter, imagination, and warmth. Millie’s voice carried through the crowd as she told her story with growing confidence. Children sat wide-eyed while adults smiled, touched by the magic of her words. Inspired by her bravery, other kids also shared their own tales. The fair became a celebration of creativity and community spirit. In the end, Mrs. Honeybee, sitting in a chair with her leg raised, wiped a tear and said, “This is the sweetest fair yet.” And from that day on, Millie knew she had a voice worth sharing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以米莉和利奥的友谊及蜂蜜节的故事为线索，讲述了害羞的米莉在新来的利奥的陪伴下逐渐开朗，两人成为好友。当镇上的蜂蜜节因面包师霍尼比夫人受伤可能取消时，利奥鼓励有讲故事天赋的米莉将节日改为讲故事活动的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在利奥的鼓励下，害羞的女孩米莉仍然犹豫不决。”可知，第一段可描写米莉的担忧、利奥的再次鼓励，以及她决定尝试并准备故事，最终在活动上开始讲述的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“蜂蜜节到了，没有蛋糕和糖果。”可知，第二段可描写节日上米莉讲故事的场景、众人的反应，以及节日的成功和米莉的感悟。 2. 续写线索：米莉犹豫——利奥鼓励——米莉创作故事——节日设讲故事角——米莉开始讲述——节日充满温暖——众人受感染——米莉找到自信 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①熬夜：sat up/stay up/ work late into the night ②向前走：stepped forward/move forward/make one’s way ③坐：sitting/seated 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous /tense ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] Encouraged by his belief in her, Millie slowly nodded.（运用了过去分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Though nervous, she began to feel a spark of excitement.（though引导让步状语从句的省略） [高分句型3] Millie’s voice carried through the crowd as she told her story with growing confidence.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
