B From Santa Barbara to Scotland,strangers are becoming friends by going on bike rides together.They get paired up by Cycling Without Age,an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides,even if they can't pedal(踩睬踏板)themselves, Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence,who are roughly 20 years apart in age,have been riding together for years.The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a "pilot",driving the trishaw-a bike with a passenger seat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides.They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town. "Despite my departed parents,it gives me a connection with people from an older generation,"said Lawrence."And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories." The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling.Lawrence said he called Lyon often and went to the gym with him to help him with exercises he couldn't do on his own. Ole Kassow,who founded Cycling Without Age,said that's the power of the program. "The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships,he told CBS News."My friendships and the ability to form new relationships at any age are what define a good life,and often also a long and happy life." John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter.He has one rule for passengers."They say,'What does it cost if I'm going to go for a ride?'I say,'Here's what it costs:You have 【高二年级期末考试·英语试卷第3页（共8页）】 25-T-898B to wave.If you don't wave,I'm going to kick you out,'"he joked.He said he liked when they hit red lights,because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road."Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age",Boettner said."When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek,it doesn't get any better than that." 24.What does the term"pilot"refer to in the text? A.A group leader. B.A driver of a trishaw. C.A test version of a project. D.A professional airplane operator. 25.What is the main benefit of the bike rides for the younger riders?

C.To promote the program. D.To signal to other drivers. c When you set up a bird feeder in your yard,you might think you're simply providing a meal for your feathered friends.But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design. Researchers in Finland have uncovered the surprising evolution (of bird feeder design over the past century.The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century,analyzing all content related to bird feeders.The study's results paint a picture of constant innovation in bird feeder design. Early designs were simple,often just flat wooden boards.As bird feeding became more popular,designs became more complex.Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days.Concerns about cats and other predators(led to hanging designs and feeders mounted on tall poles.In the mid-20th century,there was a shift towards excluding larger birds.Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably. Perhaps the most significant change came in the 198Os,when concerns about salmonella(沙门氏菌) led to a complete rethinking of bird feeder design.New models prevented birds from sitting directly above the food,and materials shifted from wood to more easily cleaned metals and plastics. While this study provides a fascinating look at the evolution of bird feeder design,it does have some limitations.The research focuses only on Finland,and practices may have differed in other countries.The study relies on published materials,which may not fully represent all bird feeder designs in use at any given time. This study demonstrated that the evolution of bird feeder design serves as a reminder of the unintended consequences of our interactions with nature.Every attempt to solve one problem-keeping out cats,excluding larger birds,or preventing disease transmission creates new challenges and motivates further innovation. 28.What did the Finnish researchers use to study bird feeder design evolution? A.Internet blog posts. B.Interviews with bird experts. C.Finnish newspapers and magazines. D.Advertisements from bird feeder manufacturers. 【高二年级期末考试·英语试卷第4页（共8页）】 25-T-898B 29.Why were bird feeders designed with roofs? A.To make them easier to clean. B.To attract a wider variety of birds. C.To protect the food from rain and snow. D.To prevent larger birds from using them. 30.What does the underlined word "excluding"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Including. B.Attracting. C.Protecting. D.Preventing. 31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.The History of Bird Feeding B.The Evolution of Bird Feeder Design C.The Impact of Bird Feeders on Wildlife D.Innovations in Bird Feeding Techniques D We all know someone who never seems to be on time.But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late?The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors,including time perception(),time management and personality,experts say. "It is likely that there's a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,"said Hugo Spiers,a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus(海马体)is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,"Spiers said.Neurons in the hippocampus acting as"time cells"contribute to our perception and memory of events,but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space.For the 2017 study,Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations.While the students'space estimates expanded if they knew an area well,their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity."If you're very familiar with a space,you start to discount the trouble it will take,"Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness.In a 2022 study,researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips.They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10%longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late.Certain personality traits,such as reduced conscientiousness(),can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time.Another factor that may influence a person's timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask.Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 32.What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A.It measures distance accurately. B.It processes time-related memory. C.It helps with multitasking abilities. D.It predicts future events with precision. 33.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A.The importance of a college district. B.A study on the adaptation of new students. C.The influence of environmental factors on travel time. D.The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. 34.Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A.Familiarity with space. B.The brain's perception of time. C.The speed of a person's walking. D.The crowdedness of public transportation. 35.In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A.Health Culture. B.Entertainment News. C.Education and Learning. D.Lifestyle and Psychology. 【高二年级期末考试·英语试卷第5页（共8页）】 25-T-898B 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。 Research shows that positively anticipating the future is a highly effective way to create positive emotions.The future doesn't have to be far away or a grand ambition.36.These may create more happiness for you. 37 These small things keep you excited about your progress.You can anticipate having a nice meal with a friend or going for a walk in a beautiful place.Scheduling regular activities that you enjoy and look forward to is an important skill for keeping a positive mindset.

My mom reminded us that we were only watching him for a week or two since Mike from the grocery store,who was moving,found out at the last minute he couldn't take the hamster with him.We had agreed to look after Mr.Nibbles until we found someone to take him in, even though we already had cats.I begged my parents to let us keep him,promising we wouldn't let the cats near him.My brothers,Tex and Indi also joined in,offering to help clean his cage and ensure he had plenty of food and water.After exchanging looks,my mom announced,"Well,Mr.Nibbles,you may have found yourself a new home!" It took a few weeks for our fuzzy(毛茸茸的)friend to get comfortable.At first,,he would only stick his head out of his nest area to take a little water and fill his cheeks with food.But once he settled in,he became happy and playful.When unhappy,he would also make a scritchy-scratchy(sound.Having Mr.Nibbles around made our summer way more fun. Before we knew it,it was time to return to school.I was excited to see friends I hadn't seen in a long time,but I was also nervous about all the new things.To prepare,I planned to wake up early,put on my carefully laid-out clothes,eat my carefully chosen breakfast,make my carefully thought-out lunch,and place it in my carefully arranged backpack.I'd ride my carefully cleaned bike to school,enter my brand-new classroom,and feel confident. Everything was going according to plan until it wasn't.My new teacher,Mr.Jax,who seemed very serious,started by going over the class rules.Then he asked each of us to say something about our summer.Most kids were shy after being apart for a while and only said a few words. 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。 As Alice talked about her family's road trip,I heard a familiar scritchy-scratchy sound coming from under my desk.
