But do you know that festivals can be unusual, too? Here are some unique festivals. Yorkshire Pudding (布丁) Boat Race Who doesn’t want to have a nice big bowl of Yorkshire pudding? But it’s not about eating. The idea here is all about cooking a giant-sized Yorkshire pudding and changing it into a boat!

World Toe Wrestling Championship. B Everyone knew “Emily doesn’t do sports”. Staying on the sidelines meant I was in control and would never injure myself or look like a fool. My husband’s career has led to our family moving a number of times. With each move, in order to make friends, I explored new hobbies and joined various clubs and groups. All these activities were safe, slow-paced and comfortable, without a ball or sneaker in sight. However, that changed when our family moved to Ankara. It turned out that the activity of choice in my new community was tennis. If I wanted a social life, I would have to play it, and it was a sport I had never tried before. Then I signed up for a tennis class. I still remember the first time I really challenged myself to learn something new. With arms, legs, hands and feet all going in different directions, I celebrated at the end of each tennis lesson when I hadn’t thrown out my back or hurt my leg. Despite my new can-do attitude, my swings (挥动) were often met with nothing but air. Laughing and learning, I kept swinging. I kept trying. I chose to shake off the embarrassment I felt at my unpracticed movements and focused instead on the progress I was making. Several weeks later, I took part in the activities our community held—Cardio Tennis on Saturdays and it was well-attended by the tennis-loving members of our community. At first, I apprehensively threw myself into playing tennis. However, the hours we spent together were full of laughter and encouragement. Then I put myself out there, unashamedly showing my beginner status. I used to hide in the cheering crowd as a way to avoid showing my weakness, imperfections, and lack of experience. But by putting myself in the game, I had a feeling of self-empowerment and achievement, learned a new skill, and, best of all, made new friends who are always willing to meet up to hit the ball with me. 4. What made the author decide to try tennis in Ankara? A. She wanted to improve her physical health. B. She had watched tennis before and enjoyed it. C. Her husband encouraged her to learn a new sport. D. Her new community had tennis as its main social activity. 5. Which can best describe the author during her early tennis lessons? A. Uneasy but determined. B. Bored and hopeless. C. Skillful and promising. D. Awkward but independent. 6. What does the underlined word “apprehensively” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Actively. B. Nervously. C. Proudly. D. Carelessly. 7. What did the author get from playing tennis? A. A good job related to tennis. B. Lots of time with her family and rewards. C. Leadership skills in social activities. D. A sense of achievement and friendships. C If you’re a person who starts the day with a cup of coffee, there may be some good news. A new study published in the European Heart Journal suggests coffee drinkers live longer and healthier lives. The researchers set out to find out if the timing of coffee consumption makes a difference in health benefits. “Given the effects 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. Lu Qi, the study’s main author said. His team surveyed 40725 adults about their coffee habits. Roughly a third of the participants reported drinking coffee primarily in the morning 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 were 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 patterns 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 dietary 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, cups 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 to a lesser extent than drinking several cups. Therefore, drink around three cups in the morning to obtain coffee’s greatest cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits. In addition, over roasted coffee can lose antioxidants (抗氧化剂), so for the greatest health benefits, look for a mixture that is still rich in antioxidants. 8. What does Dr. Lu Qi try to stress about the study in paragraph 2? A. Its process. B. Its prospect. C. Its intention. D. Its influence. 9. What can be inferred about the study mentioned in the text? A. It’s rather systematic. B. It’s slightly misleading. C. It’s somewhat limited. D. It’s fairly pioneering. 10. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph? A. The choice of coffee variety matters little to us. B. We should increase the coffee intake gradually. C. Drinking coffee in a slow manner is of great importance. D. The amount of coffee we drink every day makes a difference. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Coffee Drinking Habits: How Much Is Too Much B. Morning Coffee Consumption Linked to Better Health C. New Study Questions the Benefits of Drinking Coffee D. Antioxidants in Coffee: Key to Cardiovascular Benefits D The sunflower sea star, called Pycnopodia, was once common in the Pacific Northwest intertidal zone. But in 2013, a disease known as sea star wasting disease (SSWD) took hold, wiping out more than 90 percent of all sunflower sea stars between Alaska and Mexico in a handful of years. Disease outbreaks have been linked to ocean heatwave, suggesting that waters with consistently cold temperatures could act as ocean shelters for Pycnopodia. A new study finds that Central Coast fjords (峡湾) may hold the key to sea star survival. The locals reported sightings of large Pycnopodia in the Central Coast fjords — a sign of the remaining populations that had survived from SSWD. It’s not that SSWD hadn’t yet reached the fjords; it already had. But compared with offshore islands, the sunflower sea stars in the fjords were more plentiful, suggesting the fjords may serve as a shelter for them. Fjords have all sorts of strange oceanographic 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 (冰川的) runoff make the ocean surface layer a couple of meters thick that is low-salinity (低盐度) — basically a river. Both temperature and salinity were important for sea star health. But beyond researchers’ expectations, Pycnopodia 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(海藻), 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. 12. Why are Central Coast fjords important for Pycnopodia? A. They protect Pycnopodia from some disease. B. They help Pycnopodia survive cold temperatures. C. They prevent Pycnopodia from getting into the ocean. D. They provide a perfect environment for Pycnopodia’s faster growth. 13. 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. 14. What surprised researchers about Pycnopodia 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. 15. Why is the study carried out? A. To show the impact coastal fjords 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. ____16____ People estimate that NASA takes up as much as a quarter of the U.S. budget. ____17____ 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 public funds should be better spent they should know that money spent on NASA positively impacts the U.S. economy. ____18____ 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. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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. 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，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 day, it was glued to my hand, and the next... it was gone. I took all the necessary steps to recover it. I checked the jacket pockets, searched our apartment, 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 (绑定) me to another two-year contract, I found myself 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 (粗略的) 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 screen. 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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 承德市2024-2025学年高二下学期期末调研试题 英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试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2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?

Staying on the sidelines meant I was in control and would never injure myself or look like a fool. My husband’s career has led to our family moving a number of times. With each move, in order to make friends, I explored new hobbies and joined various clubs and groups. All these activities were safe, slow-paced and comfortable, without a ball or sneaker in sight. However, that changed when our family moved to Ankara. It turned out that the activity of choice in my new community was tennis. If I wanted a social life, I would have to play it, and it was a sport I had never tried before. Then I signed up for a tennis class. I still remember the first time I really challenged myself to learn something new. With arms, legs, hands and feet all going in different directions, I celebrated at the end of each tennis lesson when I hadn’t thrown out my back or hurt my leg. Despite my new can-do attitude, my swings (挥动) were often met with nothing but air. Laughing and learning, I kept swinging. I kept trying. I chose to shake off the embarrassment I felt at my unpracticed movements and focused instead on the progress I was making. Several weeks later, I took part in the activities our community held—Cardio Tennis on Saturdays and it was well-attended by the tennis-loving members of our community. At first, I apprehensively threw myself into playing tennis. However, the hours we spent together were full of laughter and encouragement. Then I put myself out there, unashamedly showing my beginner status. I used to hide in the cheering crowd as a way to avoid showing my weakness, imperfections, and lack of experience. But by putting myself in the game, I had a feeling of self-empowerment and achievement, learned a new skill, and, best of all, made new friends who are always willing to meet up to hit the ball with me. 4. What made the author decide to try tennis in Ankara? A. She wanted to improve her physical health. B. She had watched tennis before and enjoyed it. C. Her husband encouraged her to learn a new sport. D. Her new community had tennis as its main social activity. 5. Which can best describe the author during her early tennis lessons? A. Uneasy but determined. B. Bored and hopeless. C. Skillful and promising. D. Awkward but independent. 6. What does the underlined word “apprehensively” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Actively. B. Nervously. C. Proudly. D. Carelessly. 7. What did the author get from playing tennis? A. A good job related to tennis. B. Lots of time with her family and rewards. C. Leadership skills in social activities. D.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者原本不喜欢运动，但在搬家到安卡拉后，为了适应新社区的生活方式，开始尝试学习打网球。尽管起初动作笨拙，但作者坚持不懈地练习，最终不仅掌握了新技能，还在社区活动中结识了新朋友，获得了自我成就感和自信心。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It turned out that the activity of choice in my new community was tennis. If I wanted a social life, I would have to play it, and it was a sport I had never tried before. Then I signed up for a tennis class.(结果发现，在我新结识的这个社区里，最受欢迎的活动是打网球。如果我想要有社交生活，就必须去打球，而且这是我之前从未尝试过的运动。于是，我报名参加了一个网球课程。)”可知，当作者一家搬到安卡拉时，情况发生了变化，原来新社区的主要社交活动是网球，如果作者想要社交生活，就必须打网球。因此，作者决定尝试网球的原因是她所在的新社区将网球作为主要社交活动。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Despite my new can-do attitude, my swings (挥动) were often met with nothing but air. Laughing and learning, I kept swinging. I kept trying. I chose to shake off the embarrassment I felt at my unpracticed movements and focused instead on the progress I was making.(尽管我有了新的积极态度，但我的挥拍动作却常常只是在空中飞舞。尽管如此，我还是带着欢笑和学习的心态继续挥拍。我不断尝试。我选择抛开因自己不熟练的动作而产生的尴尬感，而是专注于自己所取得的进步。)”可知，作者在学习网球初期时，肢体动作不协调，每次课后都为未受伤而庆幸，且挥拍时常落空，但她仍坚持尝试，并努力摆脱尴尬。这体现了她内心的不安，但又意志坚定。故选A。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的句子“However, the hours we spent together were full of laughter and encouragement. Then I put myself out there, unashamedly showing my beginner status.(然而，我们一起度过的那些时光充满了欢笑和鼓励。随后，我勇敢地展露自我，毫不掩饰自己初学者的身份。)”可知，在随后的训练中作者度过的时光里充满了欢笑和鼓励，由此推测在刚开始作者是很担忧地投入到网球运动中的。故划线词与B选项“Nervously（紧张地，担忧地）”意思相近。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But by putting myself in the game, I had a feeling of self-empowerment and achievement, learned a new skill, and, best of all, made new friends who are always willing to meet up to hit the ball with me.(但当我亲身参与其中时，我感受到了一种自我力量增强和成就感，还学到了一项新技能，更重要的是，我还结识了一些总是愿意与我一起打球、一起交流的新朋友。)”可知，但是通过参与游戏，作者有了一种自我赋权和成就感，学到了一项新技能，最重要的是，作者结交了一些新朋友，他们总是愿意和作者一起打网球，由此可知，作者从打网球中获得了成就感和友谊。故选D。 C If you’re a person who starts the day with a cup of coffee, there may be some good news. A new study published in the European Heart Journal suggests coffee drinkers live longer and healthier lives. The researchers set out to find out if the timing of coffee consumption makes a difference in health benefits. “Given the effects 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. Lu Qi, the study’s main author said. His team surveyed 40,725 adults about their coffee habits. Roughly a third of the participants reported drinking coffee primarily in the morning 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 were 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 patterns 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 dietary 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, cups 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 to a lesser extent than drinking several cups. Therefore, drink around three cups in the morning to obtain coffee’s greatest cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits. In addition, over roasted coffee can lose antioxidants (抗氧化剂), so for the greatest health benefits, look for a mixture that is still rich in antioxidants. 8. What does Dr. Lu Qi try to stress about the study in paragraph 2? A. Its process. B. Its prospect. C. Its intention. D. Its influence. 9. What can be inferred about the study mentioned in the text? A. It’s rather systematic. B. It’s slightly misleading. C. It’s somewhat limited. D. It’s fairly pioneering. 10. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph? A. The choice of coffee variety matters little to us. B. We should increase the coffee intake gradually. C. Drinking coffee in a slow manner is of great importance. D. The amount of coffee we drink every day makes a difference. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Coffee Drinking Habits: How Much Is Too Much B. Morning Coffee Consumption Linked to Better Health C. New Study Questions the Benefits of Drinking Coffee D. Antioxidants in Coffee: Key to Cardiovascular Benefits 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新研究，该研究表明喝咖啡时间对健康有益，早上喝咖啡的人更长寿健康，尤其早上喝三杯左右效果更佳。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Given the effects 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. Lu Qi, the study’s main author said.(该研究的主要作者陆奇博士说：‘考虑到咖啡因对我们身体的影响，我们想看看一天中喝咖啡的时间是否会对心脏健康产生影响。’)可知，陆奇博士强调的是这项研究的意图。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This is the first study to test the timing patterns and health outcomes of coffee drinking.(这是第一项测试喝咖啡的时间模式和健康结果的研究)”可知，这是第一项测试喝咖啡的时间模式和健康结果的研究，所以相当具有开创性。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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, cups 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 to a lesser extent than drinking several cups.(有趣的是，从喝咖啡中获益最大的参与者自述为晨间‘中度或重度饮用者’——这类人群分别被定义为在上午饮用两到三杯或三杯以上咖啡。仅在中午前饮用一杯的“轻度咖啡摄入者”虽然仍比全天饮用或完全不喝咖啡者的死亡风险更低，但其保护效果弱于上午饮用多杯的情况)”可知，“中度或重度饮用者”的死亡风险低于“轻度咖啡摄入者”，说明我们每天喝咖啡的量是有影响的。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“A new study published in the European Heart Journal suggests coffee drinkers live longer and healthier lives.( 发表在《欧洲心脏杂志》上的一项新研究表明，喝咖啡的人更长寿、更健康)”以及后文对早上喝咖啡的好处的阐述可知，本文主要说明了早上喝咖啡与更好的健康状况有关。故B项“Morning Coffee Consumption Linked to Better Health(早上喝咖啡与更好的健康状况有关)”能概括文章内容，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D The sunflower sea star, called Pycnopodia, was once common in the Pacific Northwest intertidal zone. But in 2013, a disease known as sea star wasting disease (SSWD) took hold, wiping out more than 90 percent of all sunflower sea stars between Alaska and Mexico in a handful of years. Disease outbreaks have been linked to ocean heatwave suggesting that waters with consistently cold temperatures could act as ocean shelters for Pycnopodia. A new study finds that Central Coast fjords (峡湾) may hold the key to sea star survival. The locals reported sightings of large Pycnopodia in the Central Coast fjords — a sign of the remaining populations that had survived from SSWD. It’s not that SSWD hadn’t yet reached the fjords; it already had. But compared with offshore islands, the sunflower sea stars in the fjords were more plentiful, suggesting the fjords may serve as a shelter for them. Fjords have all sorts of strange oceanographic 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 (冰川的) runoff make the ocean surface layer a couple of meters thick that is low-salinity (低盐度) — basically a river. Both temperature and salinity were important for sea star health. But beyond researchers’ expectations, Pycnopodia 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(海藻), 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. 12. Why are Central Coast fjords important for Pycnopodia? A. They protect Pycnopodia from some disease. B. They help Pycnopodia survive cold temperatures. C. They prevent Pycnopodia from getting into the ocean. D. They provide a perfect environment for Pycnopodia’s faster growth. 13. 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. 14. What surprised researchers about Pycnopodia 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. 15. Why is the study carried out? A. To show the impact coastal fjords 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. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了向日葵海星因疾病而数量锐减，一项新研究发现峡湾因其特殊水文环境成为其庇护所，该研究强调保护此类微气候以帮助物种应对气候变化。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study finds that Central Coast fjords (峡湾) may hold the key to sea star survival. The locals reported sightings of large Pycnopodia in the Central Coast fjords — a sign of the remaining populations that had survived from SSWD. It’s not that SSWD hadn’t yet reached the fjords; it already had. But compared with offshore islands, the sunflower sea stars in the fjords were more plentiful, suggesting the fjords may serve as a shelter for them.(一项新的研究发现，中央海岸的峡湾或许对海星的生存至关重要。当地居民报告称，在中央海岸的峡湾中发现了大型的皮克诺波迪亚海星——这是从西南海洋热浪事件中幸存下来的海星种群的迹象。并不是说西南海洋热浪事件尚未波及这些峡湾；它早已波及了那里。但与离岸岛屿相比，峡湾中的向日葵海星数量更多，这表明这些峡湾可能为它们提供了庇护所)”可知，峡湾为向日葵海星提供了避难所，帮助其抵御疾病。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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 (冰川的) runoff make the ocean surface layer a couple of meters thick that is low-salinity (低盐度) — basically a river.(冬季，北极风暴会席卷而来，搅动海洋，从而形成富含高氧的冷水。然而到了夏季，融化的积雪和冰川的水流会使海洋表层形成几米厚的低盐度层——基本上就像一条河流)”可知，峡湾的水体在冬季富含氧气，夏季表层盐度低。这表明峡湾的水体成分随季节变化（冬季冷、高氧、盐度正常；夏季表层低盐）。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Both temperature and salinity were important for sea star health. But beyond researchers’ expectations, Pycnopodia 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.(温度和盐度对海星的健康状况都至关重要。但出乎研究人员的预料的是，皮克诺普迪亚在峡湾中的反应与在岛屿周围的情况截然不同：它们会往更深的水域游动，以躲避融雪带来的影响，从而进入更寒冷的海水区域，这种环境无意中帮助它们抵御了雪崩性死亡病)”可知，向日葵海星游向更深、更冷的水域以躲避疾病，这件事出乎了研究者的意料。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“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.(气候变化需要既回顾过去，又展望未来，还要找出可能有助于濒危物种生存的微气候环境。这就是该研究的主要关注点。这项研究是理解微气候及其如何能成为抵御气候变化影响的避难所的关键一步)”可知，研究的主要目的是找到适合保护濒危物种的微气候。故选B。 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. ____16____ People estimate that NASA takes up as much as a quarter of the U.S. budget. ____17____ 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.

I took all the necessary steps to recover it. I checked the jacket pockets, searched our apartment, 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 (绑定) me to another two-year contract, I found myself 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 (粗略的) 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 screen. 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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I decided to conduct an experiment — go smartphone-free for thirty days. The first few days were challenging. I constantly reached for my phone, only to realize it wasn’t there. To fill the void, I picked up a book recommended by a friend, and found myself immersed in its pages. As the days passed, something unexpected happened. Without the distractions of my phone, I began to notice the small joys of life — the sound of my children’s laughter, the warmth of my husband’s presence, and the beauty of a quiet evening. At the end of the experiment, I opened up to a new way of living. I realized that true connections come from being present, not from the endless scroll of the screen. When I decided to buy a new phone finally, before I dove right back in, I developed guidelines around the specific hours it would be on. I disconnected from notifications, and cut my friend list down to 150. I no longer felt the need to escape into the virtual world. Instead, I embraced the stillness and the silence, finding fulfillment in the simplicity of life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因手机丢失而不得不暂时过上无智能手机的生活，起初感到不适，但逐渐意识到过度依赖手机导致自己忽视了生活中的小确幸和真实的人际交往。于是，作者决定进行为期30天的无智能手机实验，期间发现了生活的美好，并在实验结束后改变了生活方式，减少了对手机的依赖，更加珍惜现实中的连接和简单生活的满足感。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“我决定进行一个实验——三十天不用智能手机。”可知，第一段描写了作者决定进行无智能手机实验的初期挑战，以及为了填补空虚而开始阅读的经历。 ②由第二段首句“实验结束时，我开启了一种新的生活方式。”可知，第二段描写了作者在实验结束后的感悟，以及重新购买手机后制定的使用准则。 2.续写线索：实验初衷——初期困难——替代行为（阅读）——感知生活细节——实验结束——规则设定——社交简化——内心转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①填补空虚：fill the void/occupy the emptiness ②注意到：notice/observe/become aware of ③制定准则：develop guidelines/set rules 情绪类 ①挑战：challenging/difficult/tough ②沉浸：immersed/engrossed/absorbed 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the days passed, something unexpected happened.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When I decided to buy a new phone finally, before I dove right back in, I developed guidelines around the specific hours it would be on.（运用了when引导时间状语从句，before引导的时间状语从句以及省略that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
