C If you'reperh strts the day with a eup of coffee,there may be some good ewA nestudy published in the Eurpeugecoffeedrinkers live longer and healthier lives. The researchers set out to find out if the timing of coffee consumption makes a difference in heath benefits,.“Given the effeet that caffeine(咖啡因)has on our bodies,we wanted to see if the time of day when you drink coffee has any impact on heart health,"Dr.L Qi,the study's main author said. His team surveyed 40,725dus about their coffee habits.Roughly a third of the participants reprted drinking coffee primarily in the moming hours.About 16%consumed coffee throughout the day.And,roughly half of the participants didn't drink coffee regularly at all.The research team followed participants over the course of a decade.They found that morning coffee drinkers wer 16 percent less likely to die of any cause than both the non-coffee drinkers and the all-day drinkers.They were also 31 percent less likely to die of heart disease than either of the other two groups. "This is the first study to test the timing patters and health outcomes of coffee drinking.Our findings indicate that it's not just whether you drink coffee or how much you drink,but the time of day when you drink coffee that's important.We don't typically give advice about the timing in our dietry guidance,but perhaps we should be thinking about this in the future,"the researchers said. Interestingly,the participants who got the biggest benefit from drinking coffee self-reported they were moderate or heavy morning drinkers,categorized respectively as finishing two to three,or three or more,eups of coffee in the morning hours.Light coffee consumption,downing only one cup before noon,was still related to a lower risk of death than drinking coffee all day or not at all. but a lesser extent than drinking several cups.Therefore,drink around three cups in the morning to oain coffee's greatest cardiovascular(benefits.In addition,overroasted coffee can lose antioxidants(抗氧化剂)，so for the greatest health benefits,look for a mixture that is still rich in artioxidants. 英语试题第4页（共8页） 28.What does Dr.i tryostresabout the study in paragraph 2?

Fjords have all sorts of strange oceanographie things happening.Arctic storms come in the winter to mix up the ocean and create a supply of high-oxygen cold water.But then in the summer, melting snow and glacial()rnoff make the ocean surface layer a couple of meters thick that is low-salinity(低盐度)一basically a river.. Both temperature and salinity were important for sea star health.But beyond researchers' expectations,Pyenopodia responded differently in the fjords from what they did around the islands: they went a bit deeper to escape the snowmelt,bringing themselves into colder seawater that unintentionally helped them keep off SSWD. These fjords are not safe from climate change,however.In 2024,the Central Coast received much less snow than usual,which could be destructive for the sea stars.No species is safe.But the study's findings agree with local people's knowledge about coastal fjords nurturing various species including kelp(),lending additional support for conservation measures in these regions. Climate change requires looking backward as well as forward,and identifying microclimates that might help threatened species.That's what the study mainly focus on.This research is a key step in understanding microclimates and how they may be a shelter against climate impacts. 32.Why are Central Coast fjords important for Pyenopodia? A.They protect Pycnopodia from some disease. B.They help Pycnopodia survive cold temperatures. C.They prevent Pyenopodia from getting into the ocean. D.They provide a perfeet environment for Pycnopodia's faster growth. 英语试题第5页（共8页） 33.What can we infer about Central Coast fjords'water? A.It is always warm and salty. B.Its temperature keeps stable. C.Its composition changes seasonally. D.It lacks oxygen in deeper layers in summer. 34.What surprised researchers about Pyenopodia in fjords? A.They swam to offshore islands during summer. B.They grew larger than those in other regions. C.They moved to deeper water to escape snowmelt. D.They preferred to stay in low-salinity surface layers. 35.Why is the study carried out? A.To show the impact coastal fiords have on kelp. B.To find microclimates for protecting endangered species. C.To prove that not all species can adapt to climate change. D.To explain why microclimates are vital in species conservation. 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，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People believing in space exploration have probably heard this,"We shouldn't waste money on it when there are problems to deal with here on Earth."It's true that public health concerns climate change,and other urgent issues are important to address.36 People estimate that NASA takes up as much as a quarter of the U.S.budget.37 The correct information may go a long way towards reassuring critics that space spending isn't eating up as many public resources as they think. If someone is arguing that publie funds should be better spent,they should know that money spent on NASA positively impacts the U.S.economy.38 According to some official data spending on space supports highly skilled jobs,fuels technology advancements with practical applications,and creates business opportunities that feed back into their economy.This in turn grows the pool of public money that can be spent solving the world's most pressing problems. 39 Studying how we might grow food in orbit or on Mars yields insights into growing food in extreme conditions on Earth,generating knowledge that can help reduce the impacts of climate change.Medical research conducted on the International Space Station allows us to understand the human body in new ways,helping save lives and improve quality of life Most importantly,space is inspiring.Not every child who dreams of becoming an astronaut will get that opportunity.40 But to be inspired to aim for something so grand gives kids the motivation to study hard and gain skills in science,engineering,medicine,or other fields that benefit humanity and directly help overcome problems that we face as a species A.That inspiration isn't just for kids. B.This is a sad truth that we know early on. C.In fact,it only represents about 0.5%of the total. D.And we get the same kind of payoff in other countries. E.To deal with these problems,we have to stop exploring. F.Yet,solving them doesn't mean cutting the funding for space programs. G.Overcoming the challenges of exploration helps the world in other ways too. 英语试题 第6页（共8页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）】 第一节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In 2023,Alexis Agnew went to the hospital for a routine medical examination.One of her tests showed an irregularity and her doctor recommended she 41 a follow-up test immediately Agnew was 42 that she might have something bad.She left the examination room 43 As she exited the building,she 44 an office employee,who worked at the front desk.The woman seemed to sense Agnew's situation.She stopped Agnew and 45,"What's the matter, baby?Are you OK?"

I took all the necessary steps to recover it.I cheeked the jacket pockets,searched our apariment, and went back to the gym.Desperately,I called and texted the phone,and I even downloaded a phone-finder app.No luck.It was gone for good. My husband got touch with our service provider,planning replacement strategies within fifteen minutes of hearing my unhappy news.Meanwhile,I was reflecting on what it would mean to go without a smartphone.As I heard my husband would bind()me to another two-year contract, I found my'self screaming,“Noooooo！" That's the moment I had a glimmer of recognition as to what life might be like without limitless access to a smartphone.I wouldn't have easy access to everything anymore.But the unusual quiet around me was strange yet nice.It made me feel like something deep inside my heart was missing. In those early hours without a smartphone,I began to realize how disconnected I really was. Oh.sure,I was "connected"in the sense of plugging into a virtual existence that allowed me to try and keep up with my 1,000-plus"friends"on social media.But I felt completely disconnected from my emotions,joy,and close conversations. If something wasn't urgent,it fell by the wayside.If it wasn't a broken bone,I didn't go to the doctor.Dealing with our four kids'online schedules was the priority over sitting down with my husband and chatting.Missing out on those small moments of dialogue was beginning to add up.I was answering our kids'questions with superficial(answers,filling myself and my family with false positivity,and opening the door to all of us being unseen. The phone was getting in the way of my overall well-being.I knew that once I had a replacement phone in hand,it would not be so easy to get rid of the sereen. 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 I decided to conduct an experiment-go smartphone-free for thirty days At the end of the experiment,I opened up to a new way of living. 英语试题第8页（共8页） 承德市2024一2025学年高二下学期期末调研试题 英语·答案 听力原文 Text 1 M:Jane,were you in Shanghai on August 20th?
