Isle of Wight Walking Festival This festival celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024, with an event in spring and another in autumn. Book onto the spring session to see the island’s natural world beginning to stir — guided walks take participants in search of red squirrels, passing through bluebell woods, participating in a seagrass harvesting project and exploring the fantastic scenery of West Wight. 11-19 May isleofwightwalkingfestival.co.uk.

Among them is Winchcombe, an ancient Anglo-Saxon capital hosting a walking festival in May. Hikes explore pubs, parishes and pathways — including a meteorite-themed walk in honour of a celestial object (天体) that crash landed in February 2021. 17-19 May winchcombewelcomeswalkers.com. Richmond Walking and Book Festival The festival offers a two for one, promising to combine “boots and books”, “walks and words”. This year’s schedule is still to be confirmed, but expect to spend days pacing the uplands of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with evenings resting tired feet but exercising curious minds, listening to authors read from their work. 20-29 September booksandboots.org. 1. What are the participants expected to do in Isle of Wight Walking Festival? A. Having guided walks for free. B. Engaging in a seagrass harvest. C. Observing red squirrels in autumn. D. Enjoying the wonderful plain scenery. 2. What is the aim of the meteorite-themed walk at Winchcombe Walking Festival? A. To promote local pubs and parishes. B.

They offer a combination of walking and other activities. B It’s all too common for some nonprofits to jump into countries to “fix” problems and then leave. When 25-year-old Maggie Grout started her nonprofit, she wanted to do the opposite. Grout came up with the idea for Thinking Huts in 2015, when she was a teenager. The organization is a nonprofit devoted to building schools in communities that need them. In 2022, Thinking Huts built its first 3D-printed school in Fianarantsoa, a city in Madagascar, an island country lying off the southeastern coast of Africa. Now it’s preparing to uncover its second 3D-printed campus, nicknamed “Honeycomb (蜂巢),” on the west coast of the African island. The campuses are made up of several huts (棚屋) and use a honeycomb design with solar panels; they also have drinkable water, Wi-Fi, and toilets. While the first campus is in a city area of Madagascar, the new campus will be in a more remote location, serving three villages in the southwestern region of the African island, where more than 200 students aged 4 to 16 live. Grout has a degree in international development, and is considering launching Thinking Huts in a number of different countries. She settled on Madagascar because it has both a struggling education system and a government that welcomes outsiders. According to the United Nations, by 2022, about three out of four secondary-age children there were not attending school. Grout says that from the start, she wanted to employ local construction teams, and Thinking Huts buys all the doors and windows locally in order to honor traditional building methods. In addition to building Honeycomb, Thinking Huts is also working to establish 3D-technician programs for native teams with on-site training to create more local jobs. “Thinking Huts aims to ‘bridge the divide between poverty and opportunity’ through education,” Grout says. “I think that education is at the root of solving all the other problems in the world.” 4. What can we know about the “Honeycomb” campus? A. It is a profitable project. B. It is located in a city area of Madagascar. C. It will provide services for over 200 students. D. It is the first 3D-printed school built by Thinking Huts. 5. What led to Grout’s first project on Madagascar? A. Its poor education system. B. Its remote location. C. Its traditional buildings. D. Its large population. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Maggie Grout? A. Selfless and cautious. B. Innovative and warm-hearted. C. Hard-working and generous. D. Ambitious and conventional. 7. What is the purpose of Thinking Huts? A. To promote 3D printing technology globally. B. To provide temporary education in rural areas. C. To replace traditional schools with modern facilities. D. To address educational inequality with sustainable ways. C From sniffing out rare species to tracking down poachers, dogs aid conservation efforts in a surprising variety of ways. And a growing list of successes shows how our best friends’ legendary noses can be an especially powerful weapon in the battle against invasive (入侵的) organisms. Lately dogs have proved to be particularly useful friends against one unwelcome guest: spotted lanternflies (斑衣蜡蝉). Native to Asia, these insects were seen in Pennsylvania in 2014 and soon spread across the eastern and central U.S. The species is especially threatening to vineyards (葡萄园), as it can severely damage grapevines over time. Getting rid of that invasion early on is important. But that also means finding and destroying spotted lanternfly egg masses, whose light-brown, dirtlike appearance makes them extremely difficult to see. For a recent study, Fuller and her team compared dogs with humans at finding spotted lanternfly eggs. Humans did better within the vineyards, where they could search systematically up and down the vines — but the dogs detected over three times more egg masses in nearby forested areas. Fuller suggests that dogs could also be more effective in vineyards with lower-level invasions, catching the smell in large areas that would be too time-consuming for humans to search. According to Ngaio Richards, an ecologist at the University of Florida, this is an ever expanding field of research — and practical use. “Worldwide, detection dog teams are being integrated into efforts to deter, monitor and fight the presence of invasive species,” she says, from insects and plants to fish and mammals. In North America, trained dogs inspect watercraft to detect invasive mussels before they catch a ride to new waters. In Montana, dogs identify dyer’s woad, an invasive plant that can harm native vegetation and is hard for humans to detect during parts of its life cycle. “Dogs tend to be an excellent real-time detector that is hard to match,” says Hall, an animal behaviorist at Texas Tech University. “I think there is a capacity for broader use.” 8. Why are the spotted lanternfly eggs hard to find? A. They are in earthy color. B. They are too small to see. C. They only exist in forests. D. They are buried underground. 9. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Dogs detect the smell effectively in large areas. B. Systematic searches are dogs’ main strength. C. Humans outperform dogs in all environments. D. Dogs rely on vision to find eggs in forests. 10. Why does the author mention trained dogs in North America? A. To criticize human inefficiency in monitoring boats. B. To highlight dogs’ ability to protect endangered mussels. C. To illustrate dogs’ diverse roles in detecting invasive organisms. D. To emphasize the danger of watercraft spreading invasive species. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Human-Dog Teamwork B. Saving Vineyards with Dogs C. Dog Noses: Fighting Invasives D. Dogs Fighting Against Organisms D The far side of the moon has been a point of fascination for scientists since they first peered at it in black and white images captured in 1959 — and realized how different it was from the side facing Earth. The far side appeared to show a record of impact — covered in craters (坑) of different sizes and ages. Decades later, and some five years since the Chang’e-4 mission made China the first and only country to complete a soft landing on the far side, scientists both from China and around the world have high hopes for the information that can be collected from the samples. “It’s a gold mine,” said James Head, a professor of planetary geosciences at Brown University, who together with European scientists, collaborated with Chinese scientists analyzing samples from the Chang’e-5 mission that returned near-side samples. “International scientists are totally excited about the mission,” he said. Experts say analysis of the composition and physical properties of the samples could help advance efforts to learn how to use resources on the moon for future lunar and space exploration. “The Chang’e-6 mission is focused on answering specific scientific questions, but the lunar soils collected from the mission can also support future resource utilization,” said Yuqi Qian, a planetary geologist at the University of Hong Kong. Lunar soil could be used for 3-D printing to produce bricks for construction of research bases on the moon, while some scientists were already working on finding more economical and practical technologies to extract gases like Helium-3, oxygen and hydrogen from the soil, which could support further lunar exploration, he said. Once they receive the samples, Chinese scientists are expected to share data and carry out joint research with international partners, before Beijing later opens the samples for access by international teams, according to statements from CNSA officials. 12. What do we know about the far side of the moon? A. It lacks craters made by impacts. B. China is the first country to land on it. C. The far side of the moon faces the earth. D. It is smoother and less impacted than the near side. 13. What is the main mission of Chang’e-5? A. Landing on the far side to study resource use. B. Producing bricks using far-side lunar materials. C. Extracting Helium-3 from lunar soil for energy. D Collecting samples from the near side of the moon. 14. What does the underlined word “utilization” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Usage. B. Collection. C. Management. D. Conservation. 15. What does the text emphasize about China’s lunar missions? A. Their competition with other space agencies. B. Their focus on the discovery of lunar resources. C. Their role in promoting global scientific cooperation. D. Their exploration of ancient life traces on the moon. 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。 Understanding Mental Health: A Crucial Aspect of Well-Being Mental health is a fundamental component of overall wellbeing, including emotional, psychological, and social aspects of life. ____16____ And it influences their ability to cope with stress, relate to others, and make decisions.

His family struggled to make ends meet, and he often felt ashamed of their worn-out bike, which had a squeaky (嘎吱作响的) wheel and a rusty chain. Whenever he passed the sleek bikes parked outside the high school, Alex would put his baseball cap lower, hoping no one would notice his ride. One afternoon, he noticed Mrs. Thompson, his elderly neighbor, struggling to carry groceries up her driveway. Alex jogged over without a moment’s hesitation. “Here, let me carry those for you,” he said, his voice warm with urgency. “Thank you, dear.” Mrs. Thompson said, smiling, “My son, James, used to do this for me. He’s overseas now.” She invited Alex in for lemonade, and they talked for hours. Alex learned that Mrs. Thompson’s son was very busy, and she missed him deeply. The next morning, Alex found an envelope under his front doormat. A folded note was inside it. “You’re a kind soul. Please use this.” The neat handwriting read. It was from Mrs. Thompson. Besides, he found a key carved with the word Garage. Heart pounding, he unlocked Mrs. Thompson’s garage door. Sunlight went through dusty windows, landing on a gleaming silver bicycle — a vision of polished metal and smooth leather, untouched by time. “It’s been sitting here for years,” Mrs. Thompson said gently from behind him. “James wants someone to love it again. And I think that someone is you.” Alex hesitated. The bike was clearly expensive. But Mrs. Thompson insisted, “It’s been gathering dust. Your legs are younger than mine.” Weeks later, the silver bike became a fixture in the town. Alex used the bike to run errands for Mrs. Thompson, deliver groceries to other neighbors, and even teach kids in the park how to ride. 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。 One afternoon, Alex found Mrs. Thompson crying softly, “It’s my son’s birthday.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As planned in the call, James returned home later and he saw Alex riding his bike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 郴州市2025年上学期期末教学质量监测试卷 高二英语 注意事项： 1. 试卷分听力、阅读、语言运用、写作四个部分，共10页。时量120分钟，满分150分。 2. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号写在答题卡和该试题卷的指定位置上，并认真核对答题卡上的姓名、准考证号和科目。 3. 考生作答时，选择题和非选择题均须作答在答题卡上，在本试题卷上答题无效。考生在答题卡上按答题卡中注意事项的要求答题。 4. 考试结束后，将本试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。录音内容结束后，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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

When 25-year-old Maggie Grout started her nonprofit, she wanted to do the opposite. Grout came up with the idea for Thinking Huts in 2015, when she was a teenager. The organization is a nonprofit devoted to building schools in communities that need them. In 2022, Thinking Huts built its first 3D-printed school in Fianarantsoa, a city in Madagascar, an island country lying off the southeastern coast of Africa. Now it’s preparing to uncover its second 3D-printed campus, nicknamed “Honeycomb (蜂巢),” on the west coast of the African island. The campuses are made up of several huts (棚屋) and use a honeycomb design with solar panels; they also have drinkable water, Wi-Fi, and toilets. While the first campus is in a city area of Madagascar, the new campus will be in a more remote location, serving three villages in the southwestern region of the African island, where more than 200 students aged 4 to 16 live. Grout has a degree in international development, and is considering launching Thinking Huts in a number of different countries. She settled on Madagascar because it has both a struggling education system and a government that welcomes outsiders. According to the United Nations, by 2022, about three out of four secondary-age children there were not attending school. Grout says that from the start, she wanted to employ local construction teams, and Thinking Huts buys all the doors and windows locally in order to honor traditional building methods. In addition to building Honeycomb, Thinking Huts is also working to establish 3D-technician programs for native teams with on-site training to create more local jobs. “Thinking Huts aims to ‘bridge the divide between poverty and opportunity’ through education,” Grout says. “I think that education is at the root of solving all the other problems in the world.” 4. What can we know about the “Honeycomb” campus? A. It is a profitable project. B. It is located in a city area of Madagascar. C. It will provide services for over 200 students. D. It is the first 3D-printed school built by Thinking Huts. 5. What led to Grout’s first project on Madagascar? A. Its poor education system. B. Its remote location. C. Its traditional buildings. D. Its large population. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Maggie Grout? A. Selfless and cautious. B. Innovative and warm-hearted. C. Hard-working and generous. D. Ambitious and conventional. 7. What is the purpose of Thinking Huts? A. To promote 3D printing technology globally. B. To provide temporary education in rural areas. C. To replace traditional schools with modern facilities. D. To address educational inequality with sustainable ways. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了25岁的玛吉·格劳特创立非营利组织“思维屋”，并且2022年在马达加斯加建首所3D打印学校，同时拟建第二所，助力教育，旨在通过教育弥合贫困与机遇差距。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“While the first campus is in a city area of Madagascar, the new campus will be in a more remote location, serving three villages in the southwestern region of the African island, where more than 200 students aged 4 to 16 live.(虽然第一个校区位于马达加斯加的一个城区，但新校区将位于更偏远的地方，为非洲岛屿西南部地区的三个村庄提供服务，那里居住着200多名4至16岁的学生)”可知，“蜂巢”校区将为超过200名学生提供服务。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She settled on Madagascar because it has both a struggling education system and a government that welcomes outsiders.(她最终选择了马达加斯加，因为该国不仅教育体系落后，而且政府也欢迎外来者)”可知，马达加斯加的教育体系十分落后促使格鲁特在马达加斯加开展她的首个项目。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s all too common for some nonprofits to jump into countries to “fix” problems and then leave. When 25-year-old Maggie Grout started her nonprofit, she wanted to do the opposite.(一些非营利组织往往会前往其他国家“解决”各种问题，但随后又悄然撤离。而 25 岁的玛吉·格鲁特创立自己的非营利组织时，却想要采取完全相反的做法)”以及第四段“She settled on Madagascar because it has both a struggling education system and a government that welcomes outsiders.(她最终选择了马达加斯加，因为该国不仅教育体系落后，而且政府也欢迎外来者)”可知，玛吉·格鲁特采用了不同的做法，同时帮助教育落后的地区，体现其具有创新精神且热心肠。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Thinking Huts aims to ‘bridge the divide between poverty and opportunity’ through education,” Grout says. “I think that education is at the root of solving all the other problems in the world.” (格鲁特说：“‘思维屋’旨在通过教育来‘弥合贫困与机遇之间的差距’。我认为教育是解决世界其他所有问题的根源。”)”可知，“思维屋”的宗旨是以可持续的方式解决教育不平等问题。故选D。 C From sniffing out rare species to tracking down poachers, dogs aid conservation efforts in a surprising variety of ways. And a growing list of successes shows how our best friends’ legendary noses can be an especially powerful weapon in the battle against invasive (入侵的) organisms. Lately dogs have proved to be particularly useful friends against one unwelcome guest: spotted lanternflies (斑衣蜡蝉). Native to Asia, these insects were seen in Pennsylvania in 2014 and soon spread across the eastern and central U.S. The species is especially threatening to vineyards (葡萄园), as it can severely damage grapevines over time. Getting rid of that invasion early on is important. But that also means finding and destroying spotted lanternfly egg masses, whose light-brown, dirtlike appearance makes them extremely difficult to see. For a recent study, Fuller and her team compared dogs with humans at finding spotted lanternfly eggs. Humans did better within the vineyards, where they could search systematically up and down the vines — but the dogs detected over three times more egg masses in nearby forested areas. Fuller suggests that dogs could also be more effective in vineyards with lower-level invasions, catching the smell in large areas that would be too time-consuming for humans to search. According to Ngaio Richards, an ecologist at the University of Florida, this is an ever expanding field of research — and practical use. “Worldwide, detection dog teams are being integrated into efforts to deter, monitor and fight the presence of invasive species,” she says, from insects and plants to fish and mammals. In North America, trained dogs inspect watercraft to detect invasive mussels before they catch a ride to new waters. In Montana, dogs identify dyer’s woad, an invasive plant that can harm native vegetation and is hard for humans to detect during parts of its life cycle. “Dogs tend to be an excellent real-time detector that is hard to match,” says Hall, an animal behaviorist at Texas Tech University. “I think there is a capacity for broader use.” 8. Why are the spotted lanternfly eggs hard to find? A. They are in earthy color. B. They are too small to see. C. They only exist in forests. D. They are buried underground. 9. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Dogs detect the smell effectively in large areas. B. Systematic searches are dogs’ main strength. C. Humans outperform dogs in all environments. D. Dogs rely on vision to find eggs in forests. 10. Why does the author mention trained dogs in North America? A. To criticize human inefficiency in monitoring boats. B. To highlight dogs’ ability to protect endangered mussels. C. To illustrate dogs’ diverse roles in detecting invasive organisms. D. To emphasize the danger of watercraft spreading invasive species. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Human-Dog Teamwork B. Saving Vineyards with Dogs C Dog Noses: Fighting Invasives D. Dogs Fighting Against Organisms 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了狗在保护自然方面的新应用，通过嗅觉帮助发现和控制入侵物种，以斑点灯笼蝇为例说明狗在寻找其虫卵方面的优势，还列举了狗在其他地区检测不同入侵物种的例子，探讨了狗在全球范围内用于检测和应对入侵物种的潜力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But that also means finding and destroying spotted lanternfly egg masses, whose light-brown, dirtlike appearance makes them extremely difficult to see. (但这也意味着要寻找并摧毁斑衣蜡蝉的卵块，这些卵块呈浅棕色，具有类似泥土的外观，使得它们极难被发现。)”可知，斑衣蜡蝉的虫卵颜色类似泥土，所以很难被发现。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Fuller suggests that dogs could also be more effective in vineyards with lower- evel invasions, catching the smell in large areas that would be too time-consuming for humans to search. (Fuller认为，在入侵程度较低的葡萄园中，狗也可能更有效，它们可以在大范围内捕捉气味，而人类搜索这些气味会非常耗时。)”可知，狗可以在大范围内有效地检测气味。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In North America, trained dogs inspect watercraft to detect invasive mussels before they catch a ride to new waters. In Montana, dogs identify dyer’s woad, an invasive plant that can harm native vegetation and is hard for humans to detect during parts of its life cycle. (在北美，经过训练的狗会检查船只，在入侵的贻贝搭便车到新水域之前检测到它们。在蒙大拿州，狗能识别出一种入侵植物——染料木，这种植物会危害本地植被，而且在它生命周期的某些阶段人类很难发现它。)”可知，作者提到北美经过训练的狗是为了说明狗在检测入侵生物方面的多种作用。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“From sniffing out rare species to tracking down poachers, dogs aid conservation efforts in a surprising variety of ways. And a growing list of successes shows how our best friends’ legendary noses can be an especially powerful weapon in the battle against invasive (入侵的) organisms. (从嗅出稀有物种到追踪偷猎者，狗以各种令人惊讶的方式帮助保护工作。越来越多的成功案例表明，我们最好的朋友那传奇般的鼻子可以成为对抗入侵生物的特别强大的武器。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕狗的鼻子在对抗入侵生物方面的作用展开，所以选项C“Dog Noses: Fighting Invasives (狗的鼻子：对抗入侵生物)”适合作为文章标题。故选C。 D The far side of the moon has been a point of fascination for scientists since they first peered at it in black and white images captured in 1959 — and realized how different it was from the side facing Earth. The far side appeared to show a record of impact — covered in craters (坑) of different sizes and ages. Decades later, and some five years since the Chang’e-4 mission made China the first and only country to complete a soft landing on the far side, scientists both from China and around the world have high hopes for the information that can be collected from the samples. “It’s a gold mine,” said James Head, a professor of planetary geosciences at Brown University, who together with European scientists, collaborated with Chinese scientists analyzing samples from the Chang’e-5 mission that returned near-side samples. “International scientists are totally excited about the mission,” he said. Experts say analysis of the composition and physical properties of the samples could help advance efforts to learn how to use resources on the moon for future lunar and space exploration. “The Chang’e-6 mission is focused on answering specific scientific questions, but the lunar soils collected from the mission can also support future resource utilization,” said Yuqi Qian, a planetary geologist at the University of Hong Kong. Lunar soil could be used for 3-D printing to produce bricks for construction of research bases on the moon, while some scientists were already working on finding more economical and practical technologies to extract gases like Helium-3, oxygen and hydrogen from the soil, which could support further lunar exploration, he said. Once they receive the samples, Chinese scientists are expected to share data and carry out joint research with international partners, before Beijing later opens the samples for access by international teams, according to statements from CNSA officials. 12. What do we know about the far side of the moon? A. It lacks craters made by impacts. B. China is the first country to land on it. C. The far side of the moon faces the earth. D. It is smoother and less impacted than the near side. 13. What is the main mission of Chang’e-5? A. Landing on the far side to study resource use. B. Producing bricks using far-side lunar materials. C. Extracting Helium-3 from lunar soil for energy. D. Collecting samples from the near side of the moon. 14. What does the underlined word “utilization” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Usage. B. Collection. C. Management. D. Conservation. 15. What does the text emphasize about China’s lunar missions? A. Their competition with other space agencies. B. Their focus on the discovery of lunar resources. C. Their role in promoting global scientific cooperation. D. Their exploration of ancient life traces on the moon. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。月球背面因布满陨石坑引人关注，中国嫦娥四号实现软着陆，嫦娥六号等任务样本受期待，中外科学家将合作研究，助力探索。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Decades later, and some five years since the Chang’e-4 mission made China the first and only country to complete a soft landing on the far side, scientists both from China and around the world have high hopes for the information that can be collected from the samples.(几十年后，在嫦娥四号任务使中国成为第一个也是唯一一个在月球背面完成软着陆的国家大约五年后，来自中国和世界各地的科学家都对从样本中收集到的信息寄予厚望。)” 可知，中国是第一个在月球背面实现软着陆的国家。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“‘It’s a gold mine,’ said James Head, a professor of planetary geosciences at Brown University, who together with European scientists, collaborated with Chinese scientists analyzing samples from the Chang’e-5 mission that returned near-side samples.(‘这是一座金矿，’布朗大学行星地球科学教授詹姆斯・黑德说，他与欧洲科学家一起，与中国科学家合作分析了嫦娥五号任务返回的样本，该任务带回了月球正面的样本。)”可知，嫦娥五号任务的成果是带回了月球正面的样本，其主要任务就是从月球正面收集样本。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The Chang’e-6 mission is focused on answering specific scientific questions, but the lunar soils collected from the mission can also support future resource utilization.(嫦娥六号任务专注于解答特定的科学问题，但这次任务收集的月球土壤也能支持未来的资源utilization。)”，结合第五段“Lunar soil could be used for 3-D printing to produce bricks for construction of research bases on the moon, while some scientists were already working on finding more economical and practical technologies to extract gases like Helium-3, oxygen and hydrogen from the soil, which could support further lunar exploration.(月球土壤可用于3D打印，制造月球研究基地的建筑砖块，同时一些科学家已经在努力寻找更经济、更实用的技术，从土壤中提取氦 - 3、氧气和氢气等气体，这些气体可以支持进一步的月球探索。)”可知，后文一直在讲月球土壤的用途，因此utilization意为“利用”，与Usage意思一致。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘It’s a gold mine,’ said James Head, a professor of planetary geosciences at Brown University, who together with European scientists, collaborated with Chinese scientists analyzing samples from the Chang’e-5 mission that returned near-side samples. ‘International scientists are totally excited about the mission.’(‘这是一座金矿，’布朗大学行星地球科学教授詹姆斯・黑德说，他与欧洲科学家一起，与中国科学家合作分析了嫦娥五号任务返回的样本，该任务带回了月球正面的样本。‘国际科学家对这项任务非常兴奋。’他说道。)以及最后一段“Once they receive the samples, Chinese scientists are expected to share data and carry out joint research with international partners, before Beijing later opens the samples for access by international teams, according to statements from CNSA officials.(根据中国国家航天局官员的声明，一旦收到样本，中国科学家将与国际合作伙伴共享数据并开展联合研究，之后中国将向国际团队开放这些样本。)”可知，文章多次提到国际科学家对中国探月任务的参与和期待，以及中国与国际社会的合作，强调了中国探月任务在促进全球科学合作中的作用。故选C项。 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。 Understanding Mental Health: A Crucial Aspect of Well-Being Mental health is a fundamental component of overall wellbeing, including emotional, psychological, and social aspects of life. ____16____ And it influences their ability to cope with stress, relate to others, and make decisions.

His family struggled to make ends meet, and he often felt ashamed of their worn-out bike, which had a squeaky (嘎吱作响的) wheel and a rusty chain. Whenever he passed the sleek bikes parked outside the high school, Alex would put his baseball cap lower, hoping no one would notice his ride. One afternoon he noticed Mrs. Thompson, his elderly neighbor, struggling to carry groceries up her driveway. Alex jogged over without a moment’s hesitation. “Here, let me carry those for you,” he said, his voice warm with urgency. “Thank you, dear.” Mrs. Thompson said, smiling, “My son, James, used to do this for me. He’s overseas now.” She invited Alex in for lemonade, and they talked for hours. Alex learned that Mrs. Thompson’s son was very busy, and she missed him deeply. The next morning, Alex found an envelope under his front doormat. A folded note was inside it. “You’re a kind soul. Please use this.” The neat handwriting read. It was from Mrs. Thompson. Besides, he found a key carved with the word Garage. Heart pounding, he unlocked Mrs. Thompson’s garage door. Sunlight went through dusty windows, landing on a gleaming silver bicycle — a vision of polished metal and smooth leather, untouched by time. “It’s been sitting here for years,” Mrs. Thompson said gently from behind him. “James wants someone to love it again. And I think that someone is you.” Alex hesitated. The bike was clearly expensive. But Mrs. Thompson insisted, “It’s been gathering dust. Your legs are younger than mine.” Weeks later the silver bike became a fixture in the town. Alex used the bike to run errands for Mrs. Thompson, deliver groceries to other neighbors, and even teach kids in the park how to ride. 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。 One afternoon, Alex found Mrs. Thompson crying softly, “It’s my son’s birthday.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As planned in the call, James returned home later and he saw Alex riding his bike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One afternoon, Alex found Mrs. Thompson crying softly, “It’s my son’s birthday.” Hearing this, Alex hugged her gently. That night, he organized a surprise party with the neighbors. They decorated Mrs. Thompson’s yard with balloons, baked a cake, and even convinced the local radio station to play her son’s favorite song. When Mrs. Thompson saw the gathering, she was deeply touched and burst into tears of joy. Mrs. Thompson smiled through tears as Alex lit the candles, the silver bike’s bell ringing softly in the background like a warm hug. They also managed to make a call to her son, in which James told his mom that he would be back soon. As planned in the call, James returned home later and he saw Alex riding his bike. When Mrs. Thompson told him all the things about the bike, he was so moved that he hugged Alex tightly. “Thanks for taking care of my mom and this bike,” James said with a smile on his face, patting the seat of the bike, “and it belongs to you forever.” Seeing what had happened, Alex felt a surge of gratitude, not just for the bike, but for the way a single act of kindness had turned his world from gray to gleaming. He also realized kindness was like a wheel — it kept going, turning small acts into big warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了17岁的亚历克斯生活在一个小镇，家境拮据的他因破旧自行车而自卑。一次偶然，他主动帮助邻居汤普森夫人搬运杂货，善意之举拉近了两人距离。汤普森夫人不仅感激亚历克斯的热心，还被他的善良打动，将儿子闲置多年的精美银质自行车赠予他。这辆承载着信任与关爱的自行车，不仅改变了亚历克斯的生活，更成为他传递善意的工具。故事通过一辆自行车，生动展现了善良与温暖的传递。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天下午，亚历克斯发现汤普森夫人正轻声哭泣：‘这是我儿子的生日。’”可知，第一段可描写亚历克斯如何想办法帮助汤普森夫人缓解在儿子生日时特别的思念之情。 ②由第二段首句内容“正如通话中所计划的那样，詹姆斯后来回到了家中，他看到亚历克斯正在骑着他的自行车”可知，第二段可描写詹姆斯了解了所有关于这辆单车的事情，深受感动，表达感谢以及亚历克斯的成长感悟。 2.续写线索：汤普森太太哭泣——组织派对——汤普森夫人感动——儿子詹姆斯回家——詹姆斯感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：tell/inform ②变成：turn into/transform into ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①感动：moved/touched ②善良：kindness/good deed 【点睛】[高分句型1] They also managed to make a call to her son, in which James told his mom that he would be back soon.（运用了“介词+关系代词”结构引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] When Mrs. Thompson told him all the things about the bike, he was so moved that he hugged Alex tightly.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和so...that...引导的结果状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
