This exhibition explores the surprisingly rich relationship between the two. Visit Nashville to see how leading French artists of the Impressionist era — including Claude Monet, Rosa Bonheur, and Camille Pissaro — brought cooking subjects to life. Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits 30 March-7 August at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA When Vincent van Gogh arrived in Arles, France, he befriended his neighbor and postman Joseph Roulin, along with his wife and three children. Van Gogh went on to paint several vibrant and expressive portraits of the Roulin family. This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture. Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection 15 June-29 October The Torlonia Collection is the most extensive private collection of Roman marble (大理石) sculptures in Italy. This year, the Torlonia marbles are heading to North America for the first time in their long and storied history. Myth and Marble features 58 rarely-seen sculptures from the 5th century BCE to the early 4th century CE. Among them are larger-than-life gods and goddesses, powerful emperors, and grand funeral monuments — each telling an amazing story about life in ancient Rome. Guerrilla Girls: Making Trouble 12 July-28 September at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC The Guerrilla Girls, the anonymous (匿名的) feminist-activist collective known as “the conscience of the art world,” celebrate their fortieth anniversary this year. Today, the Guerrilla Girls still wear their iconic gorilla masks and exhibit bold advertising-style graphics on billboards and in museums. More importantly, much of the inequality their work has fought for the past four decades stubbornly exists. 1. What does the exhibition in Boston focus on? A. Portraits of a postman’s family. B Paintings of French cooking scenes. C. Abstract artworks by some girls. D. Sculptures of ancient Roman emperors. 2. What is true about Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection? A. It explores the relationship between food and art. B. The collection includes sculptures from ancient times. C. Most exhibits are funeral monuments created in America. D. It’s the first time the Torlonia marbles have been exhibited in Europe. 3. When can people visit the exhibition about women’s rights? A. On June 20. B. On August 7. C. On September 30. D. On October 28. B Sometimes heroes are made by happenstance. That certainly is the case for Mike Barker, a 1998 Granby High School graduate and resident in the Washington, D. C. area who found himself at the right place at the right time late on the morning of Sept. 4. While he stood on the subway platform at the Foggy Bottom Metro station that day, waiting for his commute (通勤列车) to the store to arrive, Barker heard a sudden crash from another platform across the way. Barker, who while in high school received the Good Citizenship Award from the Granby Lions Club, rushed to the other platform to search for the cause of the sound, and discovered a man lying across the tracks on his back, weakly yelling, “Help me!Help me!” The Granby native and professor at Georgetown University pushed the emergency call button, but nothing happened. He looked at the platform display, which said the next train would arrive in four minutes. He climbed off the platform and onto the tracks. “I thought four minutes would be enough—I could certainly get back in that time,” Barker said. “It felt sufficient. At the very least, I believed I could get him under the platform, since there’s a space beneath the standing area. My goal was to at least pull him off the tracks.” His hunch (直觉) was right: four minutes gave Barker the amount of time he needed to save the man, who accidentally drove his mobility scooter (代步车) off the train platform. “I thought he could step up on the seat of his scooter and get up, but he couldn’t really raise his feet up to climb out,” Barker said. “Clearly he wasn’t going to be able to lift his legs, so I went down and got him in a fireman’s carry and then just set him down on the bottom of the platform.” 4. Why does the author mention the Good Citizenship Award in paragraph 3? A. To show Barker’s character qualities. B. To explain Barker’s motivation for helping. C. To emphasize Barker’s connection to Granby. D. To highlight Barker’s academic achievements. 5. What is Barker according to the text? A. A firefighter. B. A subway worker. C. A university teacher. D. A high school student. 6. Which words can best describe Barker? A. Cautious and reserved. B. Innocent and cooperative. C. Ambitious and determined. D. Courageous and resourceful. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of emergency response training. B. A man’s unexpected fall onto the subway tracks. C. An individual’s heroic rescue at a subway station. D. The potential dangers of using a mobility scooter. C That morning cup of coffee may be linked to a lower risk of dying, researchers from a study published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine concluded. Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 per cent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers. Researchers analyzed coffee consumption data collected from the U. K. Biobank, a large medical database with health information from people across Britain. They analyzed demographic, lifestyle and dietary information collected from more than 170,000 people between the ages of 37 and 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated (不含咖啡因的) and caffeinated coffee. “It’s huge. There are very few things that reduce your risk of dying by 30 per cent,” said Dr. Christina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research, she added. This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower the risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine. Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said. 8. Which of the following is a finding of the study? A. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t help reduce death risk. B. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk. C. Putting sugar in coffee may take away its good effects. D. People who don’t drink coffee have a lower death risk. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The health benefits of different coffee types. B. The age groups most suitable for coffee drinking. C. The ideal amount of coffee for maximum benefits. D. The research methods and data sources of the study. 10. What does the underlined word “caveats” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limitations. B. Expansions. C. Foundations. D. Applications. 11. What is Dr. Wee’s attitude towards coffee consumption? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Approving. D Electric signals from power lines discourage bees from landing on nearby flowers, and there is growing concern this so-called “electric pollution” could be causing widespread disturbance to insect behaviour. Alongside bumblebees, honeybees have been shown to detect and respond to airborne electric fields — which are often caused by static electricity in the natural world — detected through hairs or antennae (触角). Honeybees use electroreception as a form of communication, and both honeybees and bumblebees are thought to use it to locate nectar-rich flowers. But to date, little is known about how human-generated electricity impacts this natural behaviour among pollinators (授粉者). To investigate, Liam O’Reilly at the University of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues first tested how the behaviour of western honeybee (Apis mellifera) changed when the electric field was applied to the air around a plant (Nepeta grandiflora) in an urban field in Bristol. They created an electric field using a weak alternating current (AC), simulating (模拟) the environment 60 to 100 metres from a high-voltage mains power line, for 2 hours. This reduced honeybee landings on the affected plant by 71 per cent compared with a nearby control plant. “The first 10 minutes of the AC treatment was a really dramatic difference — there were far fewer landings than the control,” says O’Reilly. “Alternating current is completely alien to bees.” Landings did increase on the treatment plant as the trial continued, but never reached control levels, notes O’Reilly. The findings have worrying implications, especially given how common electricity infrastructure is in most nations. Estimates suggest that in the UK alone, there are almost 70,000 square kilometres of land on which bee groups live in the range of high-voltage transmission lines. More research is needed to determine how power lines and other electricity infrastructure are changing insect behaviour in real-world settings, says O’Reilly, including whether the behaviour is changed over the long term. “In the short term, if you’re someone who keeps bees, it would probably be better if you can keep them further from power infrastructure,” says O’Reilly. “I think you’d have happier bees.” 12 What is the purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To add backgrounds. B. To make assumptions. C. To provide examples. D. To present arguments. 13. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By observing bees in natural settings. B. By analyzing urban power line signals. C. By assessing long-term effects on honeybees. D. By testing bee landings under two conditions. 14. What does the author intend to illustrate by using the UK example in paragraph 6? A. Policy changes are needed for power lines. B. Electric pollution affects many bee habitats. C. The UK has weak environmental protections. D. Bees can easily avoid human-made structures. 15. What is O’Reilly’s implied concern for the group he advises? A. The safety of power line workers. B. The extinction of some bee species. C. The conflict between bees and humans. D. The potential decline in honey production. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 What you do during the day — from the moment you wake up — has a profound impact on how well you sleep at night. ____16____ These following daytime habits can help you unlock deeper, more restful sleep. Let your brain calm down before bedtime ____17____ While these activities can relieve stress, they may leave your mind too stimulated for sleep. An active brain isn’t ready to shut down for bed. Taking intentional moments throughout the day to calm your mind can make a big difference in sleep quality. Choose research-backed routines to help your body and mind relax. Reserve your bedroom for sleep Your brain naturally forms associations between places and behaviors, often without you realizing it. For instance, when you’re in the car, your mind shifts into “commute” mode. ____18____ If you frequently use it for activities like watching TV or working, your brain may struggle to associate your bed with rest. By reserving your bed only for sleep, you strengthen its association with rest, making it easier for your brain to wind down at night. Get morning light exposure When you wake up, aim to make your environment as bright as possible — even with artificial lighting if needed. ____19____ Morning light cues your body that it’s time to be awake, helping to reset your internal clock and cause a healthy increase in cortisol (皮质醇). This process jumpstarts your day and begins building the sleep pressure you’ll need for restful sleep later. Keep your wake-up time consistent If you’re struggling to sleep at night, it might be time to set a strict morning alarm — even on weekends. Sleeping in later than usual on Saturday can shift your circadian rhythm (昼夜节律), making it harder to feel tired at your usual bedtime. ____20____ Sticking to the same wake-up time every day helps your body establish a predictable rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally. A. Your sleep is a mirror of your day. B. The same principle applies to your bed. C. When you sleep, your brain restarts and cleans itself. D. This change in behavior is independent of light exposure. E. While this habit can be tough to break, consistency is key. F. For added benefits, step outside to enjoy natural sunlight and fresh air. G. You might turn to a tough workout or a thrilling movie to unwind after a busy day. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After a week-long business trip, I returned home to find the house in a mess.

I remember how she would stay after school to help me practice speaking. “Try again,” she’d ____26____ when I stumbled over my words (说话卡顿). “This time, ____27____ at me when you speak. She taught me simple ____28____ — how to pause before answering, how to stand with confidence, how to make eye contact. These small lessons made a big ____29____. With her guidance, I ____30____ came out of my shell. I started ____31____ my hand in class, joined the debate club, and even gave a speech at graduation. The girl who used to blush (脸红) when ____32____ became someone who could speak with assurance. Now, years later, I realize how much those after-school sessions ____33____ my life. The confidence Ms. Nancy helped me find stays with me in every meeting, every conversation. I carefully ____34____ the photo on my nightstand — a ____35____ that sometimes, the greatest lessons aren’t in textbooks, but in the patience and belief of a teacher who cares. 21.

She had chosen to take the shortcut home after the school camping trip, even though her teacher had warned against it, saying it was easy to get lost, especially in such bad weather. Now, cold and wet, she realized her mistake — the path was disappearing under muddy water, turning the once-clear track into a slippery, indistinguishable mess. Then she heard a sound, faint but clear in the otherwise loud rain. Curiosity and a little pity pulled her forward. Behind a fallen tree, a golden dog was stuck under a broken branch. Its fur was covered in mud. Emma hesitated; helping the dog would slow her down, and the night was long, full of unknown dangers. But she couldn’t ignore its sad eyes, begging for help as it looked up at her. She dropped her backpack and tried to lift the heavy branch. “It’s okay, I’ll help you,” she said, her voice shaking not just from the cold but from wondering if she could really do it. With one last push, using all her strength, the branch moved just enough for the dog to get free. It struggled to its feet. Instead of running away, the dog gently pushed Emma’s hand with its nose. Then it walked a few steps and looked back at her, waiting. “Do you want me to follow you?” Emma asked. The dog barked once, a short sound that seemed to have a message, and led her away from the flooded path. Trusting the dog, Emma followed. It was like the animal knew the forest well, guiding her safely through the trees. Emma’s legs ached, but she kept going, encouraged by the dog’s steady presence. Just when she felt too tired to go on, her eyes almost closing from exhaustion, she saw a small wooden cabin (小屋) with a light in the window, a warm sign in the darkness. The dog ran ahead and scratched (抓挠) at the door until an old man opened it. 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。 The old man’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw Emma, a wet and tired girl, and the dog. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, the rain outside started to die down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ NT20名校联合体高二年级期末考试 英语 注意事项： 1. 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分。 2. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡相应的位置。 3. 全部答案在答题卡上完成，答在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。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.

This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture.(当文森特·梵高到达法国阿尔勒时，他与邻居兼邮递员约瑟夫·鲁林及其妻子和三个孩子成为了朋友。梵高接着为鲁林一家画了几幅充满活力和表现力的肖像画。本次展览展出了其中约20幅，展示了他对肖像画独特的前瞻性方法)”可知，波士顿的展览聚焦于一个邮递员家庭的肖像画。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection部分中“The Torlonia Collection is the most extensive private collection of Roman marble (大理石) sculptures in Italy. This year, the Torlonia marbles are heading to North America for the first time in their long and storied history. Myth and Marble features 58 rarely-seen sculptures from the 5th century BCE to the early 4th century CE.(托洛尼亚收藏是意大利最广泛的罗马大理石雕塑私人收藏。今年，托洛尼亚大理石雕塑在其悠久的历史中首次前往北美。《神话与大理石》展出了58件罕见的雕塑，时间跨度从公元前5世纪到公元4世纪初)”可知，关于“Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection”的展览，其收藏品包括古代的雕塑。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guerrilla Girls: Making Trouble部分中“12 July-28 September at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC(7月12日至9月28日，华盛顿特区国家女性艺术博物馆)”可知，人们可以在7月12日至9月28日期间参观关于女性权利的展览，所以8月7日在这个时间范围内。故选B。 B Sometimes heroes are made by happenstance. That certainly is the case for Mike Barker, a 1998 Granby High School graduate and resident in the Washington, D. C. area who found himself at the right place at the right time late on the morning of Sept. 4. While he stood on the subway platform at the Foggy Bottom Metro station that day, waiting for his commute (通勤列车) to the store to arrive, Barker heard a sudden crash from another platform across the way. Barker, who while in high school received the Good Citizenship Award from the Granby Lions Club, rushed to the other platform to search for the cause of the sound, and discovered a man lying across the tracks on his back, weakly yelling, “Help me!Help me!” The Granby native and professor at Georgetown University pushed the emergency call button, but nothing happened. He looked at the platform display, which said the next train would arrive in four minutes. He climbed off the platform and onto the tracks. “I thought four minutes would be enough—I could certainly get back in that time,” Barker said. “It felt sufficient. At the very least, I believed I could get him under the platform, since there’s a space beneath the standing area. My goal was to at least pull him off the tracks.” His hunch (直觉) was right: four minutes gave Barker the amount of time he needed to save the man, who accidentally drove his mobility scooter (代步车) off the train platform. “I thought he could step up on the seat of his scooter and get up, but he couldn’t really raise his feet up to climb out,” Barker said. “Clearly he wasn’t going to be able to lift his legs, so I went down and got him in a fireman’s carry and then just set him down on the bottom of the platform.” 4. Why does the author mention the Good Citizenship Award in paragraph 3? A. To show Barker’s character qualities. B. To explain Barker’s motivation for helping. C. To emphasize Barker’s connection to Granby. D. To highlight Barker’s academic achievements. 5. What is Barker according to the text? A. A firefighter. B. A subway worker. C. A university teacher. D. A high school student. 6. Which words can best describe Barker? A. Cautious and reserved. B. Innocent and cooperative. C. Ambitious and determined. D. Courageous and resourceful. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of emergency response training. B. A man’s unexpected fall onto the subway tracks. C. An individual’s heroic rescue at a subway station. D. The potential dangers of using a mobility scooter. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述1998届格兰比高中毕业生迈克・巴克在华盛顿地铁站，救下一名跌落铁轨的男子，展现了英勇与机智。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Barker, who while in high school received the Good Citizenship Award from the Granby Lions Club, rushed to the other platform to search for the cause of the sound, and discovered a man lying across the tracks on his back, weakly yelling, ‘Help me!Help me!’(巴克在高中时获得了格兰比狮子会颁发的良好公民奖，他冲向另一个站台寻找声音的原因，发现一名男子仰卧在铁轨上，虚弱地大喊：‘救救我！救救我！’)”可知，作者提及该奖项是为了体现巴克具有乐于助人的品格。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The Granby native and professor at Georgetown University pushed the emergency call button, but nothing happened. (这位来自格兰比的乔治城大学教授按下了紧急呼叫按钮，但什么也没发生。)”可知，巴克是一名大学教师。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中描述，巴克听到撞击声后“rushed to the other platform(冲到另一个站台)”，在紧急按钮无效、列车即将到达时，“climbed off the platform and onto the tracks(跳下站台到铁轨上)”救人，并采用“fireman’s carry(消防员式搬运)”将人救下，体现了他的勇敢（courageous）和机智（resourceful）。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕迈克・巴克在地铁站救下一名跌落铁轨的男子展开，讲述了他救人的过程，核心是“个人在地铁站的英勇救援”。故选C项。 C That morning cup of coffee may be linked to a lower risk of dying, researchers from a study published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine concluded. Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 per cent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers. Researchers analyzed coffee consumption data collected from the U. K. Biobank, a large medical database with health information from people across Britain. They analyzed demographic, lifestyle and dietary information collected from more than 170,000 people between the ages of 37 and 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated (不含咖啡因的) and caffeinated coffee. “It’s huge. There are very few things that reduce your risk of dying by 30 per cent,” said Dr. Christina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research, she added. This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower the risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine. Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said. 8. Which of the following is a finding of the study? A. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t help reduce death risk. B. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk. C. Putting sugar in coffee may take away its good effects. D. People who don’t drink coffee have a lower death risk. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The health benefits of different coffee types. B. The age groups most suitable for coffee drinking. C. The ideal amount of coffee for maximum benefits. D. The research methods and data sources of the study. 10. What does the underlined word “caveats” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limitations. B. Expansions. C. Foundations. D. Applications. 11. What is Dr. Wee’s attitude towards coffee consumption? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Approving. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究，研究发现每天喝1.5到3.5杯咖啡可能降低死亡风险。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段“Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 per cent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers.(那些每天喝1.5到3.5杯咖啡的人，即使加了一茶匙糖，在研究期间死亡的可能性也比不喝咖啡的人低30%。那些喝无糖咖啡的人在研究期间死亡的可能性降低了16%到21%，与不喝咖啡的人相比，每天喝大约三杯咖啡的人死亡风险最低)”可知，研究发现适度饮用咖啡可以降低死亡风险。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第二段“Researchers analyzed coffee consumption data collected from the U. K. Biobank, a large medical database with health information from people across Britain. They analyzed demographic, lifestyle and dietary information collected from more than 170,000 people between the ages of 37 and 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated (不含咖啡因的) and caffeinated coffee.(研究人员分析了从英国生物银行收集的咖啡消费数据，这是一个包含英国各地健康信息的大型医学数据库。他们分析了从17万多名年龄在37岁至73岁之间的人那里收集的人口统计、生活方式和饮食信息，中位随访期为7年。对于饮用无咖啡因和含咖啡因咖啡的人来说，死亡风险仍然较低)”可知，第二段主要介绍了研究的方法和数据来源。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第四段“This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower the risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine.(这是一项观察性研究，这意味着这些数据不能确凿地证明咖啡本身能降低死亡风险；可能还有其他生活方式因素导致喝咖啡的人死亡风险降低，比如健康的饮食或一贯的锻炼习惯)”可知，该研究存在一些限制，不能确凿地证明咖啡本身能降低死亡风险，故画线词意思是“限制”。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said.(Wee博士说，尽管有关于咖啡的令人鼓舞的证据，但没有足够的数据表明，目前不喝咖啡的人应该在早上例行公事时去星巴克喝一杯。即使是热衷于喝咖啡的人也不应该用这项研究来证明喝无数杯咖啡是合理的。研究表明，对于每天喝超过4.5杯咖啡的人来说，咖啡的好处会减少。她表示，过去的研究表明，每天喝超过7杯的“极端量”会导致不良影响)”可知，Wee博士对咖啡消费持谨慎态度（既承认益处又强调风险）。故选C。 D Electric signals from power lines discourage bees from landing on nearby flowers, and there is growing concern this so-called “electric pollution” could be causing widespread disturbance to insect behaviour. Alongside bumblebees, honeybees have been shown to detect and respond to airborne electric fields — which are often caused by static electricity in the natural world — detected through hairs or antennae (触角). Honeybees use electroreception as a form of communication, and both honeybees and bumblebees are thought to use it to locate nectar-rich flowers. But to date, little is known about how human-generated electricity impacts this natural behaviour among pollinators (授粉者). To investigate, Liam O’Reilly at the University of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues first tested how the behaviour of western honeybee (Apis mellifera) changed when the electric field was applied to the air around a plant (Nepeta grandiflora) in an urban field in Bristol. They created an electric field using a weak alternating current (AC), simulating (模拟) the environment 60 to 100 metres from a high-voltage mains power line, for 2 hours. This reduced honeybee landings on the affected plant by 71 per cent compared with a nearby control plant. “The first 10 minutes of the AC treatment was a really dramatic difference — there were far fewer landings than the control,” says O’Reilly. “Alternating current is completely alien to bees.” Landings did increase on the treatment plant as the trial continued, but never reached control levels, notes O’Reilly. The findings have worrying implications, especially given how common electricity infrastructure is in most nations. Estimates suggest that in the UK alone, there are almost 70,000 square kilometres of land on which bee groups live in the range of high-voltage transmission lines. More research is needed to determine how power lines and other electricity infrastructure are changing insect behaviour in real-world settings, says O’Reilly, including whether the behaviour is changed over the long term. “In the short term, if you’re someone who keeps bees, it would probably be better if you can keep them further from power infrastructure,” says O’Reilly. “I think you’d have happier bees.” 12. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To add backgrounds. B. To make assumptions. C. To provide examples. D. To present arguments. 13. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By observing bees in natural settings. B. By analyzing urban power line signals. C. By assessing long-term effects on honeybees. D. By testing bee landings under two conditions. 14. What does the author intend to illustrate by using the UK example in paragraph 6? A. Policy changes are needed for power lines. B. Electric pollution affects many bee habitats. C. The UK has weak environmental protections. D. Bees can easily avoid human-made structures. 15. What is O’Reilly’s implied concern for the group he advises? A. The safety of power line workers. B. The extinction of some bee species. C. The conflict between bees and humans. D. The potential decline in honey production. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了电力线路产生的电信号对蜜蜂行为的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Alongside bumblebees, honeybees have been shown to detect and respond to airborne electric fields — which are often caused by static electricity in the natural world — detected through hairs or antennae (触角). Honeybees use electroreception as a form of communication, and both honeybees and bumblebees are thought to use it to locate nectar-rich flowers. But to date, little is known about how human-generated electricity impacts this natural behaviour among pollinators (授粉者).(除了大黄蜂，蜜蜂也能探测和响应空气中的电场——这种电场通常是由自然界中的静电引起的——通过毛发或触角探测到。蜜蜂利用电感受作为一种交流方式，而蜜蜂和大黄蜂都被认为利用电感受来定位富含花蜜的花朵。但到目前为止，人们对人类产生的电力如何影响授粉者的这种自然行为知之甚少)”可知，第二段主要介绍了蜜蜂能探测和响应电场以及利用电感受进行交流和定位花朵等背景信息，所以写第二段的目的是为了增加背景信息，为后续研究做铺垫。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“They created an electric field using a weak alternating current (AC), simulating (模拟) the environment 60 to 100 metres from a high-voltage mains power line, for 2 hours. This reduced honeybee landings on the affected plant by 71 per cent compared with a nearby control plant.(他们用微弱的交流电产生了一个电场，模拟了距离高压输电线60到100米的环境，持续了2个小时。与附近的对照植物相比，这使受影响植物上的蜜蜂着陆量减少了71%)”可知，研究人员通过在一种植物周围创造模拟高压电源线60到100米附近环境的电场(实验组（有电场）)，并与附近的对照植物(对照组（无电场）)进行对比，来测试蜜蜂在两种条件下的降落情况，从而得出实验结果。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“The findings have worrying implications, especially given how common electricity infrastructure is in most nations. Estimates suggest that in the UK alone, there are almost 70,000 square kilometres of land on which bee groups live in the range of high-voltage transmission lines.(这些发现令人担忧，尤其是考虑到大多数国家的电力基础设施都非常普遍。据估计，仅在英国，就有近7万平方公里的土地上，蜜蜂群体生活在高压输电线的范围内)”可知，作者以英国为例说明电污染范围广，影响大量蜜蜂栖息地。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the short term, if you’re someone who keeps bees, it would probably be better if you can keep them further from power infrastructure,” says O’Reilly. “I think you’d have happier bees.”(奥赖利说：“从短期来看，如果你是养蜂人，最好能让蜜蜂离电力基础设施远一些。”“我想你会有更快乐的蜜蜂。”)”可知，奥赖利担心养蜂人养的蜜蜂离电力基础设施近会影响蜜蜂，进而可能导致蜂蜜产量下降，所以他建议养蜂人让蜜蜂离电力基础设施远一些，这样蜜蜂会更快乐，由此可推测出奥赖利对他所建议的群体的潜在担忧是蜂蜜产量可能会下降。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 What you do during the day — from the moment you wake up — has a profound impact on how well you sleep at night. ____16____ These following daytime habits can help you unlock deeper, more restful sleep. Let your brain calm down before bedtime ____17____ While these activities can relieve stress, they may leave your mind too stimulated for sleep. An active brain isn’t ready to shut down for bed. Taking intentional moments throughout the day to calm your mind can make a big difference in sleep quality. Choose research-backed routines to help your body and mind relax. Reserve your bedroom for sleep Your brain naturally forms associations between places and behaviors, often without you realizing it. For instance, when you’re in the car, your mind shifts into “commute” mode. ____18____ If you frequently use it for activities like watching TV or working, your brain may struggle to associate your bed with rest. By reserving your bed only for sleep, you strengthen its association with rest, making it easier for your brain to wind down at night. Get morning light exposure When you wake up, aim to make your environment as bright as possible — even with artificial lighting if needed. ____19____ Morning light cues your body that it’s time to be awake, helping to reset your internal clock and cause a healthy increase in cortisol (皮质醇). This process jumpstarts your day and begins building the sleep pressure you’ll need for restful sleep later. Keep your wake-up time consistent If you’re struggling to sleep at night, it might be time to set a strict morning alarm — even on weekends. Sleeping in later than usual on Saturday can shift your circadian rhythm (昼夜节律), making it harder to feel tired at your usual bedtime. ____20____ Sticking to the same wake-up time every day helps your body establish a predictable rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally. A. Your sleep is a mirror of your day. B. The same principle applies to your bed. C. When you sleep, your brain restarts and cleans itself. D. This change in behavior is independent of light exposure. E. While this habit can be tough to break, consistency is key. F. For added benefits, step outside to enjoy natural sunlight and fresh air. G. You might turn to a tough workout or a thrilling movie to unwind after a busy day. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. B 19. F 20.

She had chosen to take the shortcut home after the school camping trip, even though her teacher had warned against it, saying it was easy to get lost, especially in such bad weather. Now, cold and wet, she realized her mistake — the path was disappearing under muddy water, turning the once-clear track into a slippery, indistinguishable mess. Then she heard a sound, faint but clear in the otherwise loud rain. Curiosity and a little pity pulled her forward. Behind a fallen tree, a golden dog was stuck under a broken branch. Its fur was covered in mud. Emma hesitated; helping the dog would slow her down, and the night was long, full of unknown dangers. But she couldn’t ignore its sad eyes, begging for help as it looked up at her. She dropped her backpack and tried to lift the heavy branch. “It’s okay, I’ll help you,” she said, her voice shaking not just from the cold but from wondering if she could really do it. With one last push, using all her strength, the branch moved just enough for the dog to get free. It struggled to its feet. Instead of running away, the dog gently pushed Emma’s hand with its nose. Then it walked a few steps and looked back at her, waiting. “Do you want me to follow you?” Emma asked. The dog barked once, a short sound that seemed to have a message, and led her away from the flooded path. Trusting the dog, Emma followed. It was like the animal knew the forest well, guiding her safely through the trees. Emma’s legs ached, but she kept going, encouraged by the dog’s steady presence. Just when she felt too tired to go on, her eyes almost closing from exhaustion, she saw a small wooden cabin (小屋) with a light in the window, a warm sign in the darkness. The dog ran ahead and scratched (抓挠) at the door until an old man opened it. 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。 The old man’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw Emma, a wet and tired girl, and the dog. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, the rain outside started to die down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The old man’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw Emma, a wet and tired girl, and the dog. “Goodness me, child, what are you doing out here in this weather?” he asked, quickly letting them inside. The cabin was warm and cozy. The old man explained that the dog was his, named Max, who had run off earlier that day. As Emma warmed up, she told the old man how she had found the dog trapped in the forest. “I couldn’t just leave him there,” she said softly. The old man nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude. “You were very brave. You saved him.” After a while, the rain outside started to die down. The old man offered to drive Emma home. As they set off, Emma looked back at the cabin, thankful for the unexpected rescue — of both the dog and herself. From that night on, Emma never forgot the lesson about the shortcut and the kindness of a stranger and a loyal dog. And whenever it rained, she would think of Max, the golden dog who led her to safety, and the warm light of the cabin in the forest. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Emma在暴雨中走森林捷径回家迷路，意外救下被困树枝下的金毛犬Max，Max带她找到一间小木屋，屋内老人正是狗的主人，老人对Emma的勇敢和善良表示感激并让她在屋内取暖的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老人看到浑身湿透、疲惫不堪的艾玛和狗时，惊讶地瞪大了眼睛。”可知，第一段可描写老人对艾玛的关心，艾玛向老人讲述自己救狗的经过，老人对艾玛的勇敢和善良表示感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，外面的雨开始小了下来。”可知，第二段可描写雨停后老人送艾玛回家，艾玛对这次经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：老人惊讶——邀请进屋——艾玛讲述救狗经过——老人感激——雨停——老人送艾玛回家——艾玛感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①跑开：run off/run away/flee ②开车送回家：drive sb. home/give sb. a ride home/take sb. home by car ③出发：set off/start off/begin a journey 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation ②勇敢的：brave/courageous/valiant 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Emma warmed up, she told the old man how she had found the dog trapped in the forest.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，that引导宾语从句，that被省略） 【高分句型2】As they set off, Emma looked back at the cabin, thankful for the unexpected rescue — of both the dog and herself.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
