A2024一2025学年第二学期高二期末调研考试英语第3页（共10页）A B At Lincoln High School,a Spanish teacher,Ms Rodriguez,has aroused (students interest in Spanish and Latino culture through her innovative teaching methods.Despite the school's limited resources,Ms Rodriguez always strives (to keep her students engaged through creative teaching strategies and community cooperation,enhancing their cultural identity. However,Ms Rodriguez's teaching journey at Lincoln High School wasn't always smooth.She found that students weren't very interested in Spanish classes,with some thinking that learning Spanish had no practical use.Additionally,there was a cultural gap in the school,with some students lacking a sense of identity with Latino culture.Faced with these challenges,Ms Rodriguez didn't back down.She decided to introduce interactive teaching methods like role-playing,cultural workshops,and community projects to increase student engagement. 努 Ms Rodriguez also worked together with the local community,inviting Latino artists, writers,and entrepreneurs to the school to share their stories,thus enhancing students' 牌 cultural identity.She encouraged students to involve their families in language learning through homework and community activities,strengthening family interaction and cultural 烯 heritage. Ms Rodriguez's efforts gradually paid off.Students'interest in Spanish classes increased 8 significantly,and classroom participation and grades improved remarkably.The school successfully hosted several Latino cultural events,attracting participation from students and 别 teachers across the school,thus enhancing the school's cultural diversity.Ms Rodriguez's efforts were also recognized by the community,and she was invited to share her teaching experiences at several educational conferences. When asked about the secret to her success,Ms Rodriguez modestly stated that the key 够 lies in innovative teaching methods and community cooperation.She believes that by enhancing students'cultural identity and family involvement,their enthusiasm for learning can be aroused.In the future,she hopes to continue promoting cultural education in schools and breaking down cultural barriers. 24.How did Ms Rodriguez arouse students'interest in Spanish and Latino culture? A.By giving them extra homework. B.By teaching advanced students first. C.By improving teaching ways with the new. D.By asking the school leader for more resources. 25.What did Ms Rodriguez do to enhance students'cultural identity? A.She gave orders to the local community. B.She invited professionals to give lectures. C.She told many interesting Spanish stories. D.She required her family members to offer help. A2024一2025学年第二学期高二期末调研考试英语第4页（共10页）A 26.Which is a future goal of Ms Rodriguez's? A.Keeping boosting cultural learning. B.Releasing the secret to her success. C.Focusing on discovering cultural barriers. D.Writing a book about her teaching methods. 27.What can be the best title for the text? A.The Effective Ways to Increase Students'Studies B.The Challenges of Ms Rodriguez's Teaching Spanish C.Innovative Teaching Methods at Lincoln High School D.Ms Rodriguez's Journey to Inspire Cultural Learning c Butterflies have always captured human imagination.Their delicate wings,bright patterns,and graceful flight inspire poetry,art,and science.Beyond their beauty,butterflies play vital roles in ecosystems as pollinators(传花粉者)and as part of complex food webs.But 如 a new climate warning has emerged. A Yale-led global study suggests their mountain homes long thought to be butterflies' 酃 safe havens (are becoming death zones.Climate change,once a distant threat,is now closing in fast. 长 The phrase "butterfly effect"describes how a small action,like a butterfly flapping its wings,can lead to large consequences like a hurricane across the world.This study shows something more disconcerting:a global storm threatening butterflies themselves. ☒ According to the researchers,mountain habitats that once offered protection may now 郡 become population traps.These zones are warming fast.With nowhere higher to go, butterflies may run out of suitable conditions.Species adapting to cooler,narrow temperature bands will suffer most. 棉 Even more concerning,the study points to a critical data gap.While scientists have long 韵 tracked changes in birds,mammals and plants,insects-though far more numerous-have been overlooked in global biodiversity models. To understand how butterflies might respond to climate change,Yale ecologist Walter Jetz and entomologist Stefan Pinkert led a team of researchers.They compiled ( phylogenetic and geographic data for over 12,000 butterfly species around the globe.Their work revealed that two-thirds of butterfly species live in tropical and subtropical mountains. These regions hold 3.5 times more butterfly hotspots than lowlands. But this concentration also increases risk.Mountains are warming quickly,and species that evolved in specific temperature zones may not adapt in time.The study predicts that 64% of the suitable space used by tropical butterflies will disappear by 2070.As climate zones shift upward and shrink,many butterflies will lose their homes. Their quiet struggle on mountain peaks is not just a story about insects.It's a signal to humanity that time is running out. A2024一2025学年第二学期高二期末调研考试英语第5页（共10页）A 28.What does the study suggest about mountain habitats for butterflies? A.They provide more biodiversity. B.They are threatening butterflies. C.They are getting cooler and safer. D.They are expanding their natural space. 29.What does the underlined word "disconcerting"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Worrying. B.Inspiring. C.Disrespectful. D.Disorganized. 30.Why are insects like butterflies ignored in biodiversity models? A.They are less important than larger species. B.They can adapt to climate change quickly. C.Global models focus on larger species. D.Scientists lack interest in their survival. 31.What message do butterflies'struggles send to humans? A.Climate impacts are overlooked. B.The protection of mountains need priority. C.The“butterfly effect'”causes hurricanes. D.Urgent action should be taken to cut climate threats. 0 A new study led by researchers from Queen Mary University of London reveals that group arts interventionssuch as painting,music,or dance-can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety among older adults.The findings offer a convincing case for the benefits of shared creative activities. Depression and anxiety are silent struggles for millions of older adults worldwide, affecting 7%and 3.8%of those aged 60 and over,respectively.While medications ( and talking therapies (are often the go-to treatments,they aren't always accessible or suitable for older adults,who may face side effects,high costs,or discomfort in discussing their mental health. This study shines a light on a promising alternative:the simple,yet deep act of creating art together.Led by Elizabeth Quinn,a PhD candidate in psychology at Queen Mary University of London,the research found that older adults in care homes saw a greater reduction in depression symptoms compared to those living in the community,highlighting the potential of these interventions to support some of the most vulnerable members of society. What's more,the benefits were consistent across different types of art-whether it was painting,dancing,or making music-and across diverse populations,suggesting that the magic lies in the shared experience of creating together. The study also found that the setting mattered.Older adults in care homes,who often face higher levels of loneliness and weakness,experienced the greatest improvements in mental health.This highlights the potential of group arts interventions to reach those who need it most. A2024一2025学年第二学期高二期末调研考试英语第6页（共10页）A "Art interventions are accessible,cost-effective,and enjoyable,"said Dr Jones,the study's senior author."They offer a way to address mental health challenges that doesn't rely only on medication or traditional therapy." The research team hopes their findings will encourage healthcare providers to integrate group arts interventions into mental health care plans for older adults.They also call for further research to explore the long-term benefits of these interventions and their potential applications in other age groups and settings. 32.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The cost of mental health treatments for older adults. B.Common causes of depression and anxiety in older adults. C.The effectiveness of medications for the elderly's mental health. D.Treatment challenges for older adults with depression and anxiety. 33.What did the research find about the elderly in care homes? A.They experienced more health issues. B.They preferred medications for treatment. C.They had a greater reduction in depression. D.They were less happy than those living outside. 34.What is crucial to the success of group arts interventions? A.The type of art. B.The shared experience. C.The professional guidance. D.The duration of the intervention. 35.What is Dr Jones's attitude towards art interventions? A.Supportive. B.Indifferent. C.Doubtful. D.Critical. 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。 If you want to know how to cheer someone up,here are some easy steps to help you get them started on the way to healing and eventually happiness.
