B Felicia Ludwig,a 37-year-old data expert from Maryland,started Maryland Fossil Finders,an organization aiming to teach people how to search for fossils in September 2024.Her journey began in 2017 when she found a 30-million-year-old stingray (mouth part on Matoaka Beach. Maryland has grown into an important place for fossil findings because of its special earth history.In 2023,major discoveries included 150-million-year-old dinosaur bones near Laurel and a 12-million-year-old whale head bone in Calvert County.The state's fossils from the Miocene period (5-23 million years ago)are very common,with shark teeth appearing in large numbers.Scientists explain this happens because sharks naturally lose more than 10,000 teeth during their lives.About 15 million years back,the land west of Highway 95 and south to Richmond lay under sea waters. The organization works on making things accessible and teaching others.They provide free internet courses and beach tours led by experts.To help different learners,they offer language helpers for Spanish speakers and those with hearing difficulties,plus special wheelchairs for beach use.In 2024,three successful events were held,including one where Diane Bowlby,a 63-year-old yoga instructor,collected multiple shark teeth.Four additional activities were set for spring 2025. Yet problems remain,such as skilled fossil hunters not sharing knowledge,laws limiting where people can collect fossils,and beginners accidentally harming fossil samples.Science experts advise reporting important discoveries,like the 5-inch huge shark tooth a 9-year-old found in 2024,to places like the Calvert Marine Museum for detailed study. The group has 127 official members and keeps growing.Maryland's nature protection department will announce new fossil hunting rules soon to better manage legal and environmental protection issues. 24.What motivated Felicia Ludwig to launch the organization? A.Working as a data expert in Maryland. B.Spotting a 30-million-year-old fossil. C.Exploring the fish teeth evolution.

A.To introduce the development of fossil hunting. B.To highlight scientific values of marine fossils. C.To advocate the better protection of fossil sites. D.To promote public interest in fossil discovery. C Intersections are deadly places,where more than half of all car crashes occur.A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple,surprising tool.It's not a new traffic signal or a big structure:it's a bucket of paint. Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety,reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians()by up to 50%and all crashes by 17%,according to the study.These road art projects include multi-colored wall decorations and paint jobs on the streets, crosswalks,and asphalt (in and around busy intersections.Often bright and hard for drivers to miss,they tend to cause drivers to slow down,be more careful,and be more attentive to pedestrians. The simple interventions have been adopted as part of Bloomberg Philanthropies'Asphalt Art Initiative,which has issued funds to 41 U.S.cities and three European cities.This study focused on some of these projects,and its findings provide data to suggest they can make intersections safer. Sadik-Khan,a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation,started with a simple paint job on the street and some plastic traffic posts.The project had a positive effect on travel times,increased pedestrian activity,and even benefited businesses in the area.Now,such projects are being extended across the country with similar benefits.Some were completed for just a few thousand dollars.A few cost even hundreds. They don't automatically translate into safety improvements,though.The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur,Georgia,weren't related to crash reductions,with crash rates increasing 41%and 28%respectively 高二英语试题第6页（共12页） But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work.They'll give 25,000 to as many as 20 European cities to do their own road art projects.With decreased crashes reported in the study, Sadik-Khan is hoping other cities will see the benefit of doing these kinds of projects. 28.What do we know about road art projects? A.They need a great deal of money. B.They function permanently. C.They raise concern in drivers. D.They help drivers concentrate. 29.What does the underlined word "interventions"refer to in paragraph 3? A.Financial investment plans. B.Street painting projects. C.Traffic control regulations. D.Wall decoration practices. 30.What can be inferred about the Asphalt Art Initiative's future strategy? A.It will expand despite mixed outcomes. B.It will replace traditional traffic methods. C.It will focus on suburban intersections next. D.It will prioritize European cities over US cities. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.Bloomberg's Initiative Transforms American Arts B Colorful Roads Boost Local Tourism in Major Cities C.Innovative Traffic Signals Enhance Pedestrian Safety D.Cost-Efficient Street Art Ensures Safer Urban Roads D When seeing someone being kind or generous,we feel warm inside.Researchers call this "moral elevation(提升)，”and it not only feels good but inspires us to do good ourselves. But how much does witnessing good affect us-and why?A new analysis of decades of research aimed to find out the answers.The results suggest that our acts of kindness and generosity, online or offline,can have meaningful ripple effects(连锁反应)in our communities. Researchers combined results from 88 studies involving over 25,000 participants to measure how much our own kindness increases after witnessing someone acting generously-for example, comforting someone crying,donating to charity,or acting cooperatively in a competitive game.In the studies,people would read about or see someone act in a kind way and then have the opportunity to be kind and generous themselves. The analysis showed a reasonably strong effect,where people witnessing kindness tended to act kindness themselves..“The message that the prosocial(亲社会的)behaviors are quite infectious is a 高二英语试题第7页（共12页） really important message that people should know."says the lead researcher,Haesung Jung. Interestingly,her analyses showed that it didn't matter how people witnessed a kind act.They could have read about it,watched a TV show,or actually been present when someone helped others. It also doesn't matter whether or not they saw someone giving material or non-material help But there were factors that did affect how inspired people were to pay it forward.The more time that had passed since people saw a selfless act,the lower their motivation to help others.It also mattered what kind of response to the kindness people observed.If witnesses saw such people praised or even rewarded with money,they would have a greater likelihood to pay it forward themselves. The research is of great value for society-particularly now,when we need people to act in more prosocial ways."In organizations,educational settings,and just everyday life,it's important to highlight kindness,caring,and good social behavior,"says Jung."Doing good has a much larger impact than people realize." 32.What is the core nature of moral elevation? A.The desire to help others directly B.Online and offline community effects. C.Cooperation in taking generous actions. D.Positive impacts from observing kindness. 33.How did the researchers conduct the study? A.By tracking witnesses'behavior for decades. B.By interviewing subjects about their moral beliefs. C.By analyzing former studies about kindness increase. D.By comparing participants'responses to being helped. 34.Who is more likely to pass on the kindness according to the text? A.A person reading stories of giving online B.A person seeing kindness being recognized. C.A person noticing others offer non-material help. D.A person experiencing a kind act a few years ago. 35.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Challenges in maintaining consistent generosity. B.Approaches to studying prosocial behavior trends. C.Significance of encouraging prosocial acts in society. D.Necessity for educating the public to present kindness. 高二英语试题第8页（共12页） 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）》 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language.Start by reading the poem aloud,allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally.Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss.36 Does the poem speed up or slow down?These shifts often mirror its themes. Notice the structure.Poems aren't just words on a page.Their form,including rhyme schemes,stanza breaks,and line lengths,contributes to meaning.A tightly structured poem might evoke(唤起)order,while broken lines could reflect chaos.Don't overlook punctuation(标点)or capitalization.37 Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor.Poets paint pictures with words,so visualize the scenes they describe.Ask:What senses are engaged?A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet's perspective.Who is speaking?Is it the poet's voice,a character,or an abstract being?Understanding the "speaker"can clarify the poem's intention.38 Historical events,personal experiences,or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. 39 Poetry grows on emotion,and there's no "correct"interpretation.Your response- whether joy,sorrow,or curiosity-is acceptable.Revisit the poem:meanings often change with each reading.Take down questions it raises,and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. In short,appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery.Slow down,listen,and trust your feelings.40 Rather,it's about appreciating the interplay of sound,image,and idea that makes poetry timeless. A Let yourself feel. B.Context matters as well. C.Don't be afraid of making mistakes. D.These shape how you stop and interpret. E Pay attention to how words flow together. F.The poem's background determines the style. G This is not like unlocking a "secret password". 高二英语试题第9页（共12页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（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和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处 的最佳选项。 My grandmother,orphaued(成为孤儿)atl2,immigrated to Vienna and lived in an orphanage while working and attending school.Her journal revealed her moving tale of 41.The story pulled me in and 42 me strongly.
