Throughout the trip, we visited numerous historical landmarks, including the renowned Red Army Memorial Hall, where we learned about the heroic actions of revolutionary figures. We also explored local museums and participated in activities that enriched our understanding of Red culture. The experience deepened our appreciation for the historical significance and the invaluable contributions made by our ancestors. Many of us were deeply moved by the stories of courage, perseverance, and resilience. This excursion was not only informative but also highly inspiring. The feedback from both students and teachers was overwhelmingly positive; many expressed an eagerness to further explore this vital aspect of our legacy. (132 words) 第二节（满分25分） Reference answer 1 Just then, she saw a flashlight approaching. Through the swirling rain, Emily could make out a familiar silhouette. “Emily!” Zoe’s voice carried over the wind. She rushed to Emily’s side, shielding her with an umbrella. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you,” Zoe said, her eyes wide with worry. Without hesitation, Zoe led Emily to her own tent. As they sat down, Zoe took Emily’s cold hands in hers. “I’ve missed our talks so much,” Zoe said softly. “I realized that no one knows me like you do, and I was wrong to take our friendship for granted.” With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent. As the rain started to ease, Emily and Zoe sat shoulder to shoulder, reminiscing about their old memories and sharing their fears and dreams. Emily apologized for being distant, and Zoe promised to always make time for her. The next morning, as the sun rose over the mountains, Zoe and Emily walked towards Daisy’s tent, hand in hand. Daisy greeted them with a bright smile, and the three of them set off on an adventure together, their hearts full of hope and the promise of a new, stronger friendship. (179 words) Reference answer 2 Just then, she saw a flashlight approaching. As the beam of light cut through the pouring rain, Emily was startled to see Daisy running towards her, with Zoe trailing closely behind. “We heard your tent was in trouble,” Daisy panted. Zoe stepped forward, her eyes full of concern. “Let’s get you somewhere dry first,” she said gently. In Daisy’s tent, Zoe wrapped Emily in a thick blanket while Daisy fetched a hot water bottle. “I’ve been such a fool,” Zoe said, her voice breaking. “I never meant to hurt you. You’re irreplaceable to me.” With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent. As they sat in the dimly lit space, the sound of the rain became a backdrop to their heartfelt conversation. Emily admitted she had been jealous and too quick to pull away. Daisy smiled and said, “I’m so glad I didn’t come between you two.” The next morning, as the rain stopped and the birds started singing, the three girls walked through the forest, chatting and laughing. Their friendship, now expanded to include Daisy, was stronger than ever, a testament to the power of forgiveness and understanding. (174 words) 主旨升华句 1.

Maybe—but it’s not just one factor that influences why these winged pests are attracted to us and researchers can’t seem to agree on a definitive answer. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who return from time in the outdoors covered in itchy mosquito bites and those who can spend hours in the same space and avoid getting bitten at all. Let’s face it, mosquitoes are not equal opportunity feasters. So, what exactly makes some people more attractive to mosquitoes than others? Science reveals that a variety of factors might make you more preferable to mosquitoes, from your skin microorganisms and carbon dioxide emitted in your breath to the color of clothing you’re wearing, with colors like red, orange, and black being the most attractive to mosquitoes. But in the end, much of the variation in mosquito preference comes down to two factors: our natural and distinctive body smell and genetics. Only the females bite humans and they do it to get a “blood meal”, absorbing proteins from our blood to produce their eggs. They use their palps (触须) to detect carbon dioxide and the distinctive smell. That means people whose body systems work at a faster pace and emit more carbon dioxide including those who are pregnant, exercising, or drinking alcohol tend to be more attractive to mosquitoes. The question of whether mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type is controversial. One hypothesis suggests that blood type may also help determine mosquito preference. If that’s the case, what blood type do mosquitoes like? The hypothesis said that the major mosquito vector of dengue virus (登革病毒) preferred people with type O blood to those with other blood types. However, separate research notes that experimental and laboratory data evaluating whether blood type makes one person more or less attractive to mosquitoes has fueled a lot of assumptions. But the result is contradictory. Instead the researchers report that the likelihood of being a “mosquito magnet” has more to do with skin odors and microorganisms than blood type. 4. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. Answering questions. B. Making a comparison. C. Presenting the subject. D. Explaining the methods. 5. Who tends to be the most attractive to mosquitoes? A. People who work out. B. The elderly and weak. C. People who wear dark colors. D. Individuals with specific blood types. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Mosquitoes distinctly prefer Type O blood. B. Skin smell and microorganisms play a larger role. C. The role of blood type is still under heated debate. D. Mosquitoes are attracted to all blood types equally. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe the preferences of mosquitoes. B. To tell how to avoid mosquito bites effectively. C. To argue against the idea that mosquitoes prefer blood types. D. To provide scientific information about mosquito preferences. C In modern society, many people act like sloths while working. But according to a new study, engaging your brain actively at work can benefit you in more ways than just advancing your career—it may also safeguard your cognitive abilities and help prevent dementia (痴呆) as you get older. The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have,” said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, “but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes.” To do the analysis, Edwin categorized the cognitive demands of 305 occupations in Norway. More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. “There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers’ understandings of students’ different situations and teachers’ empathy.” Having a routine job with little mental stimulation during your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is linked to a 66% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment and a 37% greater risk of dementia after the age of 70, when compared with having an occupation that requires more complex thinking. “The occupational environment is vital in promoting cognitive well-being.” said Edwin. “Similarly, just like we can use physical exercise to grow and maintain our muscles, exercising our brain through more challenging work assignments seems to help fight dementia.” “While I’d guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added. 8. What does the underlined phrase “act like sloths” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. working hard B. taking breaks C. showing laziness D. focusing fully 9. Why is Edwin’s research remarkable? A. Because it focused on emerging industries. B. Because it tracked the subjects for a long term. C. Because it drew inspiration from past studies. D. Because it studied Norwegians of a certain age. 10. What makes teaching a cognitively demanding job? A. The emotional labor it involves. B. The number of students and parents. C. The complete lack of repetitive tasks. D. The harmonious relationship it creates. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Activities that can refine people’s skills at work. B. A recommendation for the future research direction. C. Tips for people who want professional advancement. D. Job tasks that can provide new learning opportunities. D When we sleep, our brain is still actively processing the day’s experiences and integrating them with past memories. Previous studies have identified links between pupil (瞳孔) size and sleep state, as well as between sleep state and memory formation. However, it has been unclear how fresh memories are processed without blurring into old ones. For example, how do we learn to play the piano without forgetting how to ride a bike? Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain-scanning electrodes and tiny eye-tracking cameras to mice. They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day, such as observing them during sleep. (Fun fact: mice can sleep with their eyes open.) The study revealed two distinct substages during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, a critical period for memory formation. One substage replayed new memories, coinciding with narrowed pupils. The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils. The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages, the mice’s ability to remember new information was limited considerably. The research identified a transition stage between these two substages, which serves as an intermediate (中间的) period that separates new learning from old knowledge. The results suggest that the brain can multitask distinct cognitive processes during sleep to facilitate continuous learning without interference. It’s like new learning, old knowledge, new learning, old knowledge, shifting slowly throughout sleep. The implications of the study are far-reaching: such a non-invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory, for example. The study also supports the hypothesis (假说) that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information. Catastrophic forgetting, known in AI, is an area where machines still fall behind biology. What’s more, the findings provide a potential solution for preventing catastrophic interference while enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks. Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains, similar studies need to be conducted in humans to verify these results. 12. What do researchers at Cornell University focus on? A. How pupil size is related to sleep state. B. How people learn to perform new tasks. C. How memories are kept without interference. D. How sleep state is connected with memory formation 13. What can we infer about the transition stage? A. It focuses on removing old memories. B. It processes old memories with narrowed pupils. C. It ensures new memories are processed before old ones. D. It helps integrate new memories with existing knowledge. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential applications of the study? A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Reserved. D. Skeptical. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Code of Memory Integration in Sleep. B. Role of Sleep in Memory and Learning. C. Pupil Size: A Window into Human Brain. D. A Breakthrough: How Mice Sleep with Eyes Open. 第二节 (共5小题；每题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。 Effective Ways to Deal with Negative Emotions Negative emotions are an unavoidable part of the human experience.

They went to the same school, played on the same soccer team, and even wore matching bracelets (手链). Everyone around them said they were like two sides of the same coin. They believed nothing could come between them. But things started to change when a new girl Daisy came to their class. One day, their teacher, Mr. Lynn, announced a big group project. “Pick a partner,” he said. Emily immediately turned to Zoe, expecting her usual smile and a quick “yes.” But to her surprise, Zoe was already talking to Daisy. “I’m going to work with Daisy this time,” Zoe said to Emily, almost too casually. Emily felt like the air had been knocked out of her. She nodded and forced a smile, but inside, she was confused and hurt. That night, she stared at her phone screen, hoping for a message that never came. Over the next few days, she avoided Zoe. Their texts stopped, they no longer sat together during lunch, and the bracelets they once wore daily were now left at home. Even during class, Emily found it hard to focus, her mind replaying the moment when Zoe chose someone else. Weeks passed. The school organized a three-day camping trip in the mountains. Students were divided into several groups. Emily and Zoe ended up in the same one, along with Daisy and two other classmates. Though they barely spoke, they worked together to put up tents and gather firewood. Their conversations were limited to short, polite exchanges—nothing like before. On the second night, dark clouds rolled in and heavy rain soon followed. Everyone rushed into their own tents. Emily quickly discovered that hers was leaking. Cold and upset, she went outside, seeking for help. The wind howled around her, and each raindrop felt like a tiny needle against her skin. 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。 Paragraph 1: Just then, she saw a flashlight approaching._______________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent.__________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二年级英语学科 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
