B Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera. Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 4. What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1? A. He grew up in the coastal area. B. He longed to be a dive instructor. C. He followed his childhood passion. D. He did academic research on sharks. 5. Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A. To criticize overfishing. B. To protect natural habitats. C. To save the injured animal. D. To highlight marine pollution. 6. What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3? A. A large image. B. A unique scene. C. A complete story. D. A strong motivation. 7. What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean? A. Promoting green lifestyles. B. Appreciating ocean’s beauty. C. Sharing marine knowledge. D. Documenting nature’s wonders. C Distraction is often said to be the major cognitive (认知的) crisis of our time. In a recent article in The Atlantic, Rose Horowitch noted that “university students have trouble staying focused on even a poem”, and many American middle and high schools have shifted from literary texts to shorter passages. Actually, accusations of declining attention are nothing new in modernity. Even in the early 20th century, Ezra Pound observed a shift from poetry to prose (散文), explaining it as a result of readers’ inability to engage with the linguistic complexity of poetry. Over the decades, similar complaints about attention have continued. Yet, Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability, we may be witnessing a shift in consumption habits. Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums — outdated. Meanwhile, the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow. This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read long novels but rather a shift in what people value. “Students can still read books,” Horowitch wrote. “They’re just choosing not to.” This raises a deeper question: What kind of attention do we truly need, and why? Psychologists distinguish between focused attention and broader attention. In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment, participants counting basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background. A wider focus, in contrast, may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits. Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize? What of the rapid, quick-fire, written exchanges of instant messaging? The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or 280 characters? What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games? These new ways of engaging with content challenge us to rethink — with history as our guide — how we might approach long-form culture in fresh and flexible ways. 8. What does the underlined word “accusations” in paragraph 2 mean? A Criticisms. B. Origins. C. Trends. D. Indicators. 9. What does the increase of audiobook listeners imply according to Horowitch? A. Printed books are less accessible. B. Reading preferences have changed. C. Digital reading devices are more popular. D. Modern people have limited reading time. 10. Why does the author mention the Invisible Gorilla Experiment in paragraph 4? A. To display the difficulty of multitasking. B. To illustrate the limitation of focused attention. C. To prove the wide presence of distraction in daily life. D. To stress the importance of cognitive flexibility in sports. 11. What will probably be discussed next? A. More valuable lessons taught by history. B. Challenges facing the young generation. C. The impact of technology on literacy skills. D. Strategies for book reading in the digital age. D Needles, though essential for delivering many vital medicines, are not popular among patients. Many people experience discomfort or anxiety at the sight of a needle, making injections (注射) an unpleasant experience. Now, new research led by Giovanni Traverso at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offers a way to give medicine without this discomfort—by copying how squids (鱿鱼) shoot ink and water. Dr. Traverso’s tiny automated injectors are packaged in capsules that patients can swallow. Once inside the digestive system, the capsules break down, releasing the injectors, which then deliver drugs through the surface layer of stomach or other digestive organs and into the subsurface tissues below. This method allows patients to receive treatment without seeing or feeling a needle. Although the technique is promising, it is not yet entirely reliable. For an injector to work effectively, it must be positioned almost perfectly upright against the target tissue. With skin injections, a medical professional can adjust the angle by hand, but inside the digestive system, this is much more difficult. To solve this problem, Dr. Traver so turned to squids, which can shoot ink and water at high pressure in multiple directions. Inspired by this natural ability, he and his team worked with a medical company to develop tiny spring-loaded devices that release fast streams of medicine when activated. Tests on digestive tissues from pigs and dogs showed that the devices can effectively give injections even at angles below 70°. While human trials have yet to begin, Dr. Traver so hopes the technology will soon help people with diabetes, a disease that requires the patients to get multiple injections daily. A more convenient delivery system could make treatment easier and less stressful. But the potential applications extend beyond diabetes—similar devices may one day be used to administer vaccines, making immunization (免疫接种) more accessible. If all goes well, fear of needles could become a thing of the past. 12. What can we learn about the new injectors from the first two paragraphs? A. They are made from squid ink. B. They are invisible to human eyes. C. They enjoy popularity among patients. D. They operate within the digestive system. 13. What challenge does Traverso’s technique face? A. Keeping the injector at a correct angle. B. Finding a proper site for drug delivery. C. Having reliable medical professionals. D. Accessing the deep digestive system. 14. What can we infer about the technology from the last paragraph? A. It proves effective in human trials. B. It may cure people of needle anxiety. C. It shows promises for future applications. D. It will reduce the cost of diabetes treatment. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Secret of Squid Ink Shooting B. Painless Injection: A Gift from Squid C. Nature: A Guide for Medical Innovation D. The Development of Injection Techniques 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. They use some of that time to post pictures and create profiles on social media accounts. ____16____ Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon is an easy way to stay in touch. ____17____ Some social media sites use those likes to determine how many people eventually see a post. One with many likes is more likely to be seen-and to get even more likes. What’s more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain. ____18____ For example, posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do. ____19____ And not always in a good way. For example, in one 2011 study, teens doing a driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around. Researchers also looked at the teens’ brains during this task. They saw activity in a part of the brain that’s involved in rewards, which suggests the teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. But posts may exaggerate (夸大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. ____20____ A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control. B. A popular post doesn’t necessarily mean it is a quality post. C. It’s no surprise: Feedback from peers affects how teens behave. D. Their brains respond to those likes by turning on the reward center. E. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them. F. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection. G. Most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. 第三部分 英语知识运用（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.

The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!” Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills. The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part. “Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged. Mr. Carter smiled gently and said “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.” That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 明德中学2025年上学期7月阶段考试 英语试卷 2025年7月 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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。听力部分结束前，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously.(尽管如此，他一直对海洋，尤其是鲨鱼着迷，看了无数次《大白鲨》。2009年，他在澳大利亚背包旅行，沿途潜水，之后他决定认真追求自己的激情。)”可知，他从小热爱海洋，长大后也在继续追寻这份热爱，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen.(他的照片后来在2019年国际海洋艺术水下摄影比赛中获得了保护类第一名，引起了人们对经常被忽视的海洋废物问题的关注。)”可知，Shane拍海龟的照片是为了突出海洋污染问题。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully.(一旦你有一个故事要讲，创建一个镜头列表，并继续拍摄，直到你把它记录完整。)”可知，水下摄影成功的关键在于有一个完整的故事，故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。从最后一段“Shane recommends that taking the time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care.(Shane建议，花时间欣赏海洋的壮丽景色应该是创造有意义的改变的第一步——从冷漠到积极关怀的转变。)”可知，Shane认为激发人们保护海洋意识的第一步是欣赏海洋之美，故选B。 C Distraction is often said to be the major cognitive (认知的) crisis of our time. In a recent article in The Atlantic, Rose Horowitch noted that “university students have trouble staying focused on even a poem”, and many American middle and high schools have shifted from literary texts to shorter passages. Actually, accusations of declining attention are nothing new in modernity. Even in the early 20th century, Ezra Pound observed a shift from poetry to prose (散文), explaining it as a result of readers’ inability to engage with the linguistic complexity of poetry. Over the decades, similar complaints about attention have continued. Yet, Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability, we may be witnessing a shift in consumption habits. Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums — outdated. Meanwhile, the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow. This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read long novels but rather a shift in what people value. “Students can still read books,” Horowitch wrote. “They’re just choosing not to.” This raises a deeper question: What kind of attention do we truly need, and why? Psychologists distinguish between focused attention and broader attention. In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment, participants counting basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background. A wider focus, in contrast, may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits. Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize? What of the rapid, quick-fire, written exchanges of instant messaging? The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or 280 characters? What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games? These new ways of engaging with content challenge us to rethink — with history as our guide — how we might approach long-form culture in fresh and flexible ways. 8. What does the underlined word “accusations” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Criticisms. B. Origins. C. Trends. D. Indicators. 9. What does the increase of audiobook listeners imply according to Horowitch? A. Printed books are less accessible. B. Reading preferences have changed. C. Digital reading devices are more popular. D. Modern people have limited reading time. 10. Why does the author mention the Invisible Gorilla Experiment in paragraph 4? A. To display the difficulty of multitasking. B. To illustrate the limitation of focused attention. C. To prove the wide presence of distraction in daily life. D. To stress the importance of cognitive flexibility in sports. 11. What will probably be discussed next? A. More valuable lessons taught by history. B. Challenges facing the young generation. C. The impact of technology on literacy skills. D. Strategies for book reading in the digital age. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。探讨了现代社会中注意力分散的现象及其背后的原因。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Over the decades, similar complaints about attention have continued.(几十年来，关于注意力的类似抱怨一直在继续)”可知，本段介绍了对注意力下降的指责，推知accusations应是“指责”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Yet, Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability, we may be witnessing a shift in consumption habits. Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums — outdated. Meanwhile, the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow. This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read long novels but rather a shift in what people value. “Students can still read books,” Horowitch wrote. “They’re just choosing not to.”(然而，霍洛维奇认为，我们可能正在目睹消费习惯的转变，而不是阅读能力的丧失。现在的学生认为读书就像听老唱片一样——过时了。与此同时，有声书的受欢迎程度也在持续增长。这表明，问题不在于无法阅读长篇小说，而在于人们的价值观发生了转变。“学生们仍然可以读书，”霍洛维奇写道。“他们只是选择不这么做。”)”可知，有声书听众的增加意味着阅读偏好已经改变。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This raises a deeper question: What kind of attention do we truly need, and why? Psychologists distinguish between focused attention and broader attention. In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment, participants counting basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background. A wider focus, in contrast, may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits.(这就提出了一个更深层次的问题：我们真正需要什么样的关注，为什么？心理学家区分了集中注意力和广泛注意力。在著名的“看不见的大猩猩实验”中，计算篮球传球次数的参与者没有注意到背景中有一个穿着大猩猩服装的人在跳舞。相比之下，更广泛的关注可能涉及不同的认知技能，并提供独特的好处)”可知，本段提到隐形大猩猩实验是为了说明专注注意力的局限性，即过于集中注意力可能导致忽略其他重要信息。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize? What of the rapid, quick-fire, written exchanges of instant messaging? The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or 280 characters? What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games? These new ways of engaging with content challenge us to rethink—with history as our guide—how we might approach long-form culture in fresh and flexible ways.(年轻一代是否正在发展有价值的注意力模式，而我们却没有意识到？那么快速、快速、书面的即时通讯交流呢？用140或280个字符写出简短而聪明的陈述的艺术？那么电子游戏中需要的技能和快速反应呢？这些与内容互动的新方式要求我们重新思考——以历史为指导——我们如何以新鲜而灵活的方式接近长篇文化)”可知，接下来可能会讨论如何在数字时代以新的方式重新融入长篇文化，也就是数字时代的阅读策略。故选D项。 D Needles, though essential for delivering many vital medicines, are not popular among patients. Many people experience discomfort or anxiety at the sight of a needle, making injections (注射) an unpleasant experience. Now, new research led by Giovanni Traverso at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offers a way to give medicine without this discomfort—by copying how squids (鱿鱼) shoot ink and water. Dr. Traverso’s tiny automated injectors are packaged in capsules that patients can swallow. Once inside the digestive system, the capsules break down, releasing the injectors, which then deliver drugs through the surface layer of stomach or other digestive organs and into the subsurface tissues below. This method allows patients to receive treatment without seeing or feeling a needle. Although the technique is promising, it is not yet entirely reliable. For an injector to work effectively, it must be positioned almost perfectly upright against the target tissue. With skin injections, a medical professional can adjust the angle by hand, but inside the digestive system, this is much more difficult. To solve this problem, Dr. Traver so turned to squids, which can shoot ink and water at high pressure in multiple directions. Inspired by this natural ability, he and his team worked with a medical company to develop tiny spring-loaded devices that release fast streams of medicine when activated. Tests on digestive tissues from pigs and dogs showed that the devices can effectively give injections even at angles below 70°. While human trials have yet to begin, Dr. Traver so hopes the technology will soon help people with diabetes, a disease that requires the patients to get multiple injections daily. A more convenient delivery system could make treatment easier and less stressful. But the potential applications extend beyond diabetes—similar devices may one day be used to administer vaccines, making immunization (免疫接种) more accessible. If all goes well, fear of needles could become a thing of the past. 12. What can we learn about the new injectors from the first two paragraphs? A. They are made from squid ink. B. They are invisible to human eyes. C. They enjoy popularity among patients. D. They operate within the digestive system. 13. What challenge does Traverso’s technique face? A. Keeping the injector at a correct angle. B. Finding a proper site for drug delivery. C. Having reliable medical professionals. D. Accessing the deep digestive system. 14. What can we infer about the technology from the last paragraph? A. It proves effective in human trials. B. It may cure people of needle anxiety. C. It shows promises for future applications. D. It will reduce the cost of diabetes treatment. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Secret of Squid Ink Shooting B. Painless Injection: A Gift from Squid C. Nature: A Guide for Medical Innovation D. The Development of Injection Techniques 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。本文介绍了一种新型无痛注射技术，灵感来源于鱿鱼喷射墨水的机制。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Traverso’s tiny automated injectors are packaged in capsules that patients can swallow. Once inside the digestive system, the capsules break down, releasing the injectors, which then deliver drugs through the surface layer of stomach or other digestive organs and into the subsurface tissues below. This method allows patients to receive treatment without seeing or feeling a needle.(Traverso博士的微型自动注射器被包装在胶囊中，病人可以吞下。一旦进入消化系统，胶囊就会分解，释放出注射器，然后注射器通过胃或其他消化器官的表层将药物输送到下面的皮下组织。这种方法可以让患者在看不到或感觉不到针头的情况下接受治疗)”可知，注射器在消化系统内操作。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Although the technique is promising, it is not yet entirely reliable. For an injector to work effectively, it must be positioned almost perfectly upright against the target tissue. With skin injections, a medical professional can adjust the angle by hand, but inside the digestive system, this is much more difficult.(虽然这项技术很有前途，但还不是完全可靠。为了使注射器有效地工作，它必须几乎完全垂直地放置在目标组织上。通过皮肤注射，医学专业人员可以手动调整角度，但在消化系统内，这要困难得多)”可知，技术面临的主要挑战是保持注射器的正确角度。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While human trials have yet to begin, Dr. Traver so hopes the technology will soon help people with diabetes, a disease that requires the patients to get multiple injections daily. A more convenient delivery system could make treatment easier and less stressful. But the potential applications extend beyond diabetes—similar devices may one day be used to administer vaccines, making immunization (免疫接种) more accessible. If all goes well, fear of needles could become a thing of the past.(虽然人体试验尚未开始，但特拉弗博士希望这项技术能很快帮助糖尿病患者，这种疾病需要患者每天多次注射。一个更方便的输送系统可以使治疗更容易，压力更小。但潜在的应用范围不仅限于糖尿病——类似的设备可能有一天会被用于接种疫苗，使免疫接种更容易获得。如果一切顺利，对针头的恐惧可能会成为过去)”可推知，该技术在未来具有广阔的应用前景，故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Needles, though essential for delivering many vital medicines, are not popular among patients. Many people experience discomfort or anxiety at the sight of a needle, making injections (注射) an unpleasant experience. Now, new research led by Giovanni Traverso at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offers a way to give medicine without this discomfort—by copying how squids (鱿鱼) shoot ink and water.(尽管针头对于输送许多重要药物至关重要，但在患者中并不受欢迎。许多人一看到针头就感到不适或焦虑，这使得注射成为一种不愉快的经历。现在，麻省理工学院（MIT）的乔瓦尼·特拉弗索（Giovanni Traverso）领导的一项新研究提供了一种不用这种不适就能给药的方法——模仿鱿鱼喷射墨水和水的方式)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了一种基于鱿鱼喷射机制的无痛注射技术，强调了其创新性和对患者的潜在益处，所以B项“无痛注射：来自乌贼的礼物”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. They use some of that time to post pictures and create profiles on social media accounts. ____16____ Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon is an easy way to stay in touch. ____17____ Some social media sites use those likes to determine how many people eventually see a post. One with many likes is more likely to be seen-and to get even more likes. What’s more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain. ____18____ For example, posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do. ____19____ And not always in a good way. For example, in one 2011 study, teens doing a driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around. Researchers also looked at the teens’ brains during this task. They saw activity in a part of the brain that’s involved in rewards, which suggests the teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. But posts may exaggerate (夸大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. ____20____ A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control. B. A popular post doesn’t necessarily mean it is a quality post. C. It’s no surprise: Feedback from peers affects how teens behave. D. Their brains respond to those likes by turning on the reward center. E. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them. F. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection. G. Most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是社交媒体是生活中的一部分及其对生活的影响。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“They use some of that time to post pictures and create profiles on social media accounts.(他们利用其中一些时间在社交媒体帐户上发布图片并创建个人资料。)”可知，此处讲述的是青少年们在社交媒体中所作的事情，G选项“Most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family.(他们所做的大部分工作是阅读和回复朋友和家人的帖子。)”中所描述的也是青少年在社交媒体中所做的事情，其中的they指代与上文的teens一致。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon is an easy way to stay in touch.(单击竖起大拇指或心形图标是保持联系的简单方法。)”可知，小红心或者大拇指是点赞的位置，空后的“Some social media sites use those likes to determine how many people eventually see a post.(一些社交媒体网站使用这些喜欢来确定有多少人最终看到帖子。)”可知，获赞的多少决定了有多少人关注帖子，由此可知，此空处讲述的内容与“点赞”相关，F选项“But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection.(但这些“赞”可以拥有超越简单联系的力量。)”中的“those likes”内容与空前后内容吻合。故选F项。 18题详解】 根据空前的“What’s more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain.(更重要的是，查看有很多赞的帖子会激活我们大脑中的奖励系统。)”可知，浏览贴子会激活大脑中的奖励体系，根据空后的“For example, posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink.(例如，与酒精相关的帖子可能会鼓励青少年饮酒。)”可知，与酒精相关的帖子可能会鼓励青少年饮酒，由此可知，此空处的内容是看到的帖子对青少年的影响，A选项“It can also lower the viewer’s self-control.(它还可以降低观众的自制力。)”讲述的是浏览贴子对青少年的影响，其中的it指代的是上文中的viewing posts，also未结题关键词，且内容与空前后一致。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据空后的“And not always in a good way. (而且并不总是以一种好的方式。)”以及下文中的举例“For example, in one 2011 study, teens doing a driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around.(例如，在2011年的一项研究中，当朋友在身边时，在实验室做驾驶任务的青少年会冒更多的风险。)”可知，本段讲述的是青少年朋友在身边的影响，而且影响不总是好的，C选项“It’s no surprise: Feedback from peers affects how teens behave.(这并不奇怪：来自同龄人的反馈会影响青少年的行为方式。)”讲述的是来自同龄人的反馈对青少年行为的影响，与空后内容衔接合理，且与举例说明的内容吻合。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“But posts may exaggerate (夸大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are.(但是帖子可能会夸大我们的朋友和其他人的感觉，使他们看起来比我们快乐得多。)”可知，帖子可能会使得他们看起来比我们更快乐，E选项“And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them.(这可能会不恰当地让我们觉得自己不如他们成功。)”中描述的内容与空前内容相对应，且其中的代词them以及us空前内容指代一致。故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（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.

Although##Though##While 41. are integrated 42. and 43. unknowingly 44. adopting 45. academic 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了词汇借用这一语言现象。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：这种现象已经持续了数千年。根据时间状语“for thousands of years”可知，此处强调动作从过去开始一直持续到现在，应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has +过去分词”。主语“This phenomenon”为第三人称单数，所以用has occurred。故填has occurred。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：在当前全球化时代，通信技术使不同文化联系更加紧密，词汇更有可能直接从源语言中借用，且速度比以往任何时候都快，尤其是与技术发展相关的词汇，如“email”和“Internet”。“of”为介词，后接名词作宾语，globalize是动词，其名词形式为globalization，意为“全球化”，为不可数名词，故填globalization。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在当前全球化时代，通信技术使不同文化联系更加紧密，词汇更有可能直接从源语言中借用，且速度比以往任何时候都快，尤其是与技术发展相关的词汇，如“email”和“Internet”。“be likely to do sth.”为固定搭配，意为“可能做某事”，且“words”与“borrow”之间是被动关系，即“词汇被借用”，所以应用动词不定式的被动形式to be borrowed。故填to be borrowed。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：在当前全球化时代，通信技术使不同文化联系更加紧密，词汇更有可能直接从源语言中借用，且速度比以往任何时候都快，尤其是与技术发展相关的词汇，如“email”和“Internet”。“at a... pace”为固定搭配，意为“以……的速度”，所以此处填at。故填at。 【40题详解】 考查从属连词。句意：尽管借用词汇的速度变快了，但这个过程仍然很复杂，新词汇融入日常用语还需要时间。根据语境，前半句提到借词速度加快，后半句指出过程复杂，两者之间存在让步转折关系，所以用Although/Though/While引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管，虽然”。首字母大写。故填Although/Though/While。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态语态。句意：尽管借用词汇的速度变快了，但这个过程仍然很复杂，新词汇融入日常用语还需要时间。“new words”与“integrate”之间是被动关系，即“新词汇被融入”，且此处描述的是一般情况，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”。主语“new words”是复数，所以用are integrated。故填are integrated。 【42题详解】 考查并列连词。句意：然后它传播到不懂原语言的人那里，并且他们会几乎不知不觉地改变发音以适应他们的说话方式。前一句表明借词传播到不懂原语言的人那里，后一句说明这些人会改变发音，两句之间是顺承关系，所以用and连接。故填and。 43题详解】 考查副词。句意：然后它传播到不懂原语言的人那里，并且他们会几乎不知不觉地改变发音以适应他们的说话方式。此处修饰动词“change”，应用副词unknowingly，意为“不知不觉地，无意识地”。故填unknowingly。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：借词是语言发展难以避免的结果，但一些语言群体反对采用其他文化中的词汇。“oppose doing sth.”为固定搭配，意为“反对做某事”，所以此处用adopting。故填adopting。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：事实上，对于新借词从来没有任何正式的学术限制。此处修饰名词“restrictions”，应用形容词academic，意为“学术的”。故填academic。 第四部分 写作（满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 你校英语报正在举办一次关于“My career plan”为主题的征文活动。请你用英语写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 你的梦想职业。 2. 选择的原因。 3. 实现的途径。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 My Career plan ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My Career plan My dream career is to become a software engineer.

Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host. The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!” Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills. The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part. “Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged. Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.” That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. Organizing scripts, preparing playlists and setting the facilities, Mary threw herself into these tasks, treating each one as an opportunity to learn. During breaks, she observed Olivia’s hosting techniques—how she handled technical issues and managed to make the audience feel excited and engaged. When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did. As days turned into weeks, her notebook was filled with her thoughts and reflections. Mary felt more confident, and she hoped she could finally share her voice with the school. Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. Mary stood up, her palms sweating but voice steady. “I’ve learned a lot these days. May I try?” The studio fell silent. Mr. Carter studied her determined face and nodded. Holding the cold mic tightly, Mary’s clear voice flowed through speakers. She perfectly reported the news that day, played up beat music, and even shared fun stories about their school’s history. Students paused their sandwiches, recognizing the new voice. By broadcast end, the radio office buzzed with approval. Mr. Carter smiled, “Seems we already have our second host.” Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mary是一个害羞但怀揣电台主持梦想的女孩，尽管在公开场合讲话会让她紧张，甚至被同学嘲笑，但她仍坚持每晚练习朗读和学习演讲技巧。在学校电台招募新主持的面试中，她虽然完美完成了准备好的部分，却在即兴环节表现不佳。评委Mr. Carter指出，真正的主持需要真情实感而非机械朗读。尽管没通过面试，Mary并未放弃，而是决定以辅助身份加入电台团队，从中学习如何成为一名真正的主持人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她征求了Mr. Carter的同意，开始做一些小任务。”可知，第一段可描述Mary如何在电台团队中向他人学习，充实自己，让自己变得自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来有一天，Mr. Carter带着意想不到的消息冲了进来：Olivia突然生病了。”可知，第二段可描述Mary抓住了这次机会，勇敢推荐自己去主持，并取得成功。 2. 续写线索：作辅助——每天完成工作的同时向他人学习——努力练习——变得自信————自荐——成功——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①投身于：throw oneself into/immerse oneself in ②观察：observe/notice ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①坚定的：determined/ resolute ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1]When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did.(when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.(which引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
