第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共11小题;每小题2.5分,满分27.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The popularity of achieving 10,000 steps a day indicates that many of us have welcomed the message: walking is beneficial for overall health.
This low-impact activity, requiring no special equipment beyond a sturdy pair of sneakers, improves heart health, lung capacity and weight management while helping prevent several age-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes.
In 2023, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published the results of a data analysis of ten different studies that investigated the impact of walking speed on the risk of type 2 diabetes. This study, which pooled statistics from over 500,000 people in the US, Japan, and the UK, revealed that both “fairly brisk walking” and “striding walking” were associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, independent of the time spent walking.
As time did not emerge as a significant factor, the researchers suggest that encouraging people to walk at faster speeds could improve the health benefits of walking, beyond simply increasing total walking time or hitting a specific step count.
Relationships between walking speed and the reduction of type 2 diabetes risk:
Average pace 3 - 5 km/h
15 percent reduction in risk
Fairly brisk pace 5 - 6.5 km/h
24 percent reduction in risk
Just below jogging pace 6.5 km/h
39 percent reduction in risk
·The time spent walking was not a decisive factor; instead, each increase in speed of one kilometre per hour correlated with a nine percent reduction in risk.
·Speeds exceeding 4 km/h were associated with a lower risk of the disease.
1. What can we learn about walking from the passage?
A. It is demanding. B. It is well received.
C. It can cure heart diseases. D. It requires no equipment.
2. At what walking speed can one achieve a 24 percent reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes?
A. 3-5 km/h. B. 5-6.5 km/h. C. 6.5 km/h D. Above 6.5 km/h.
3. Which aspect of walking can most benefit health?
A Equipment. B. Time. C. Speed. D. Step count.
B
The school hall was noisy with soft talking as parents sat down. Sixteen-year-old Maya held her violin tightly, her hands wet. “I practiced for three months”, she thought, “but what if I fail?” Playing alone before so many people made her heart beat fast.
When her name was called, Maya walked onto the bright stage. Suddenly, a loud sound filled the air. The leg of her music stand broke, and papers flew everywhere like falling leaves. People in the crowd made soft shocked sounds. Maya stood still, her face hot. She pressed her lips together to stop them from shaking — all her hard work seemed lost in that awful moment.
Then she saw movement. A boy ran quickly from behind the side curtain. It was Ben, a classmate she almost never spoke to. Without stopping, he bent down and picked up the flying papers. His calm hands made the messy pages smooth and neat. Giving her the pages, he looked into her eyes. “Believe in your hands,” he said quietly. His strong voice helped her feel safe in her fear.
Taking the deepest breath ever, Maya raised her violin. When the bow met the strings, something wonderful happened. Her stiff fingers now moved easily. Beautiful music flew through the hall, making everyone quiet. As the last note ended, loud clapping filled the room, making the old ceiling seem to shake. Maya’s eyes became wet as she turned to Ben, but he was already walking away quietly. Looking at the cheering crowd, then at Ben’s disappearing back, Maya suddenly understood something important...
4. What was the immediate cause of the mess when Maya’s turn came?
A. Maya’s lack of confidence. B. Ben’s unexpected appearance.
C. The audience’s sudden applause. D. The collapse of the music stand.
5. What did Maya think of Ben?
A. Strong and determined. B. Outgoing and confident.
C. Helpful and thoughtful. D. Intelligent and responsible.
6. How did Maya’s emotion change?
A. From anxious to confident. B. From angry to relaxed.
C. From disappointed to excited. D. From bored to enthusiastic.
7. What does Maya’s story show?
A. A faithful friend is a strong defense.
B Nothing is certain but the unforeseen.
C. Determination paves every impossible road.
D. Life is torn sometimes, but someone always mends.
C
In the spring, a small brown moth (飞蛾) called the bogong moth starts an extraordinary journey. Native to Australia, it flies over 1,000 kilometers each night from flat grasslands to cool mountain caves in the southeast-a feat comparable to a human running a marathon daily for weeks. What’s truly astonishing is how these tiny-brained insects, with brains one-tenth the size of a grain of rice, navigate (导航) such vast distances in complete darkness.
Scientists long suspected bogong moths used Earth’s magnetic field or mountain shapes as guides. But recent research published in Nature revealed a surprising secret: they navigate by the stars. This ability, previously observed only in birds and humans, was confirmed through creative experiments. Researchers placed moths in a flight model that blocked Earth’s magnetism and projected artificial star patterns. When the artificial sky matched real star groups, moths flew correctly. When stars were turned 180 degrees, they flew in the opposite direction. Without consistent starlight, they became completely lost.
How do moths “read” the stars? The study found specialized neurons in their brains that respond specifically to starlight positions, particularly the bright core of the Milky Way. These neurons likely form a basic “sky map,” allowing moths to adjust their path over weeks as stars gradually shift. Unlike dung beetles-which briefly use the Milky Way as a landmark-bogong moths continuously track movements of the stars.
This discovery reshapes our understanding of the insects: for bogong moths, starlight is more than beauty; it is a survival tool woven into their biology. As light pollution increasingly clouds the night sky, protecting these natural navigators becomes urgent — not just for them, but for all species relying on the stars’ ancient light.
8. What does the underlined word “feat” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Daily routine. B. Natural behaviour.
C. Physical exercise. D. Remarkable achievement.
9. In the experiment, what happened when the artificial stars were turned 180 degrees?
A. Moths turned around. B. Moths flew faster.
C. Moths stopped moving. D. Moths ignored the stars.
10. Which ability differs bogong moths from dung beetles in navigation?
A. To travel longer distances. B. To adjust their sky map.
C. To keep following moving stars. D. To use the Milky Way as a landmark.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Night sky should be protected from light pollution.
B. Starlight serves as a beautiful destination for moths.
C. All species depend on the starlight to navigate.
D. Insects make social interactions with starlight.

I have been deeply touched by many acts of kindness throughout my life. Yet, none shines as brightly as the moment I witnessed at the bakery at Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
I had visited the village that day with my son who needed additional oversight. When he was a little child, it was very clear to me that there was something different about him. My son was constantly on the move and had no sense of danger, requiring that his caregivers watch his every move to prevent him from running away or heading into traffic. He also loved strangers, thinking that everyone was his potential best friend. He greeted everyone with a hug.
The fact that he looked much older than his actual age and he acted much younger, made it even harder for strangers to accept him. Although my son was still too young to recognize when he was being rejected, every cold word, or look of pity broke my heart. I was afraid of taking him out in public.
That day, at the village, I had walked around holding my son’s hand, ready to protect him from being hurt by anyone. When we passed by a bakery, noticing a baker kneading the dough (揉面团), he pulled his hand out of mine, ran over to the building, wrapped his arms around the man’s legs, and asked if he would be his best friend.
注意:
1.续写词数应为120左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My heart stopped at that moment.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Through tears, I saw the baker allowing my son to “help” him.

【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了步行对健康的益处,尤其是不同步行速度与降低2型糖尿病风险之间的关系,指出步行速度比步行时间和步数更能影响健康收益。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The popularity of achieving 10,000 steps a day indicates that many of us have welcomed the message: walking is beneficial for overall health(每天走10,000步的流行表明,我们很多人都接受了这样一个信息:步行对整体健康有益)”可知,步行受到了人们的广泛欢迎。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中表格“Fairly brisk pace 5 - 6.5 km/h 24 percent reduction in risk(相当快的速度5 - 6.5公里/小时,风险降低24%)”可知,当步行速度为5 - 6.5 km/h 时,能降低24%患2型糖尿病的风险。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“As time did not emerge as a significant factor, the researchers suggest that encouraging people to walk at faster speeds could improve the health benefits of walking, beyond simply increasing total walking time or hitting a specific step count(由于时间并非一个重要因素,研究人员建议,鼓励人们以更快的速度步行可以提高步行对健康的益处,而不仅仅是增加总步行时间或达到特定的步数)”可知,步行速度对健康的益处最大。故选C项。

The school hall was noisy with soft talking as parents sat down. Sixteen-year-old Maya held her violin tightly, her hands wet. “I practiced for three months”, she thought, “but what if I fail?” Playing alone before so many people made her heart beat fast.
When her name was called, Maya walked onto the bright stage. Suddenly, a loud sound filled the air. The leg of her music stand broke, and papers flew everywhere like falling leaves. People in the crowd made soft shocked sounds. Maya stood still, her face hot. She pressed her lips together to stop them from shaking — all her hard work seemed lost in that awful moment.
Then she saw movement. A boy ran quickly from behind the side curtain. It was Ben, a classmate she almost never spoke to. Without stopping, he bent down and picked up the flying papers. His calm hands made the messy pages smooth and neat. Giving her the pages, he looked into her eyes. “Believe in your hands,” he said quietly. His strong voice helped her feel safe in her fear.
Taking the deepest breath ever, Maya raised her violin. When the bow met the strings, something wonderful happened. Her stiff fingers now moved easily. Beautiful music flew through the hall, making everyone quiet. As the last note ended, loud clapping filled the room, making the old ceiling seem to shake. Maya’s eyes became wet as she turned to Ben, but he was already walking away quietly. Looking at the cheering crowd, then at Ben’s disappearing back, Maya suddenly understood something important...
4. What was the immediate cause of the mess when Maya’s turn came?
A. Maya’s lack of confidence. B. Ben’s unexpected appearance.
C. The audience’s sudden applause. D. The collapse of the music stand.
5. What did Maya think of Ben?

C. Helpful and thoughtful. D. Intelligent and responsible.
6. How did Maya’s emotion change?

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Suddenly, a loud sound filled the air. The leg of her music stand broke, and papers flew everywhere like falling leaves(突然,一声巨响充满了空气,她的乐谱架的一条腿断了,纸张像落叶一样四处飞散。)”可知,造成混乱的直接原因是乐谱架倒塌。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Without stopping, he bent down and picked up the flying papers. His calm hands made the messy pages smooth and neat. Giving her the pages, he looked into her eyes. “Believe in your hands,” he said quietly (他一刻也没停,弯下腰捡起了四处飞舞的纸张。他那镇定的双手将凌乱的纸张抚平、整理得整整齐齐。他把纸张递给她,望着她的眼睛,轻声说道:“相信你的双手。”)”可知,Ben弯下腰捡起了四处飞舞的纸张。他那镇定的双手将凌乱的纸张抚平、整理得整整齐齐,并轻声地对她说道:“相信你的双手。”,可以推知,Ben是乐于助人且体贴周到的人。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“but what if I fail?(但是如果我失败了怎么办?)”以及“Playing alone before so many people made her heart beat fast(她在众人面前独奏让她心跳加快)”;再到第二段“Maya stood still, her face hot(玛雅站在原地一动不动,脸涨得通红)”以及“all her hard work seemed lost in that awful moment(她感到所有的努力都白费了)”;再到第四段“Maya’s eyes became wet as she turned to Ben, but he was already walking away quietly. Looking at the cheering crowd, then at Ben’s disappearing back, Maya suddenly understood something important(玛雅转向本时,眼睛湿润了,但本已经悄然走开。看着欢呼的人群,又望着本渐渐消失的背影,玛雅突然明白了一些重要的事情)”可知,玛雅的情绪起初是因担心失败,加之在众人面前独自演奏而心跳加速,满心焦虑;而后当她望着本渐渐消失的背影时,突然领悟到了一些至关重要的事,可推理出她的情绪从焦虑逐渐转变为自信。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Suddenly, a loud sound filled the air. The leg of her music stand broke, and papers flew everywhere like falling leaves(突然,一声巨响充满了空气,她的乐谱架的一条腿断了,纸张像落叶一样四处飞散)”、第三段“Without stopping, he bent down and picked up the flying papers. His calm hands made the messy pages smooth and neat. Giving her the pages, he looked into her eyes. “Believe in your hands,” he said quietly (他一刻也没停,弯下腰捡起了四处飞舞的纸张。他那镇定的双手将凌乱的纸张抚平、整理得整整齐齐。他把纸张递给她,望着她的眼睛,轻声说道:“相信你的双手。”)”以及最后一段“Maya’s eyes became wet as she turned to Ben, but he was already walking away quietly. Looking at the cheering crowd, then at Ben’s disappearing back, Maya suddenly understood something important(玛雅转向本时,眼睛湿润了,但本已经悄然走开。看着欢呼的人群,又望着本渐渐消失的背影,玛雅突然明白了一些重要的事情)”可知,整篇文章围绕Maya在舞台上遇到突发状况时得到陌生同学Ben的帮助而顺利完成演奏的经历展开,强调了即使生活中有时会出现意外和挫折,但总有人愿意伸出援手帮助我们度过难关。这与选项D“Life is torn sometimes, but someone always mends(生活有时被撕裂,但总有人会修补)”表达的主题一致。故选D项。
C
In the spring, a small brown moth (飞蛾) called the bogong moth starts an extraordinary journey. Native to Australia, it flies over 1,000 kilometers each night from flat grasslands to cool mountain caves in the southeast-a feat comparable to a human running a marathon daily for weeks. What’s truly astonishing is how these tiny-brained insects, with brains one-tenth the size of a grain of rice, navigate (导航) such vast distances in complete darkness.
Scientists long suspected bogong moths used Earth’s magnetic field or mountain shapes as guides. But recent research published in Nature revealed a surprising secret: they navigate by the stars. This ability, previously observed only in birds and humans, was confirmed through creative experiments. Researchers placed moths in a flight model that blocked Earth’s magnetism and projected artificial star patterns. When the artificial sky matched real star groups, moths flew correctly. When stars were turned 180 degrees, they flew in the opposite direction. Without consistent starlight, they became completely lost.
How do moths “read” the stars? The study found specialized neurons in their brains that respond specifically to starlight positions, particularly the bright core of the Milky Way. These neurons likely form a basic “sky map,” allowing moths to adjust their path over weeks as stars gradually shift. Unlike dung beetles-which briefly use the Milky Way as a landmark-bogong moths continuously track movements of the stars.
This discovery reshapes our understanding of the insects: for bogong moths, starlight is more than beauty; it is a survival tool woven into their biology. As light pollution increasingly clouds the night sky, protecting these natural navigators becomes urgent — not just for them, but for all species relying on the stars’ ancient light.
8. What does the underlined word “feat” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Daily routine. B. Natural behaviour.
C Physical exercise. D. Remarkable achievement.
9. In the experiment, what happened when the artificial stars were turned 180 degrees?
A. Moths turned around. B. Moths flew faster.
C. Moths stopped moving. D. Moths ignored the stars.
10. Which ability differs bogong moths from dung beetles in navigation?
A. To travel longer distances. B. To adjust their sky map.
C. To keep following moving stars. D. To use the Milky Way as a landmark.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Night sky should be protected from light pollution.
B. Starlight serves as a beautiful destination for moths.
C. All species depend on the starlight to navigate.
D. Insects make social interactions with starlight.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了澳大利亚博贡蛾靠星星导航完成千里迁徙,研究发现其大脑神经元对星光敏感。但是如今光污染威胁其生存,需加以保护。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“it flies over 1,000 kilometers (飞行距离达1000公里之多)”以及后文“a human running a marathon daily for weeks (人类连续数周每天跑完一场马拉松)”可知,博贡蛾的飞行距离堪比人类连续数周每天跑完一场马拉松,说明是一项令人瞩目的成就。故划线词意思是“令人瞩目的成就”。故选D。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When stars were turned 180 degrees, they flew in the opposite direction. (当星星旋转180度时,它们就会朝相反的方向移动。)”可知,在实验中,当人造星星被旋转180度时,博贡蛾会转身。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Unlike dung beetles-which briefly use the Milky Way as a landmark-bogong moths continuously track movements of the stars. (与蜣螂不同(蜣螂只是偶尔将银河系当作参照标志),博根蛾会持续追踪星星的移动轨迹。)”可知,能够持续追踪移动的星星使博贡蛾与蜣螂在导航方面有所不同。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery reshapes our understanding of the insects: for bogong moths, starlight is more than beauty; it is a survival tool woven into their biology. As light pollution increasingly clouds the night sky, protecting these natural navigators becomes urgent — not just for them, but for all species relying on the stars’ ancient light. (这一发现改变了我们对昆虫的认知:对于博贡蛾来说,星光不仅具有美感,更是一种融入其生理结构的生存工具。随着光污染日益严重地遮蔽了夜空,保护这些天然的导航者变得迫在眉睫——这不仅关乎它们自身,也关乎所有依赖古老星光的物种。)”可知,作者在最后一段中意在表达夜空应当免受光污染的侵扰。故选A。

58. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have been deeply touched by many acts of kindness throughout my life. Yet, none shines as brightly as the moment I witnessed at the bakery at Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
I had visited the village that day with my son who needed additional oversight. When he was a little child, it was very clear to me that there was something different about him. My son was constantly on the move and had no sense of danger, requiring that his caregivers watch his every move to prevent him from running away or heading into traffic. He also loved strangers, thinking that everyone was his potential best friend. He greeted everyone with a hug.
The fact that he looked much older than his actual age and he acted much younger, made it even harder for strangers to accept him. Although my son was still too young to recognize when he was being rejected, every cold word, or look of pity broke my heart. I was afraid of taking him out in public.
That day, at the village, I had walked around holding my son’s hand, ready to protect him from being hurt by anyone. When we passed by a bakery, noticing a baker kneading the dough (揉面团), he pulled his hand out of mine, ran over to the building, wrapped his arms around the man’s legs, and asked if he would be his best friend.
注意:
1.续写词数应为120左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My heart stopped at that moment.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Through tears, I saw the baker allowing my son to “help” him.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
My heart stopped at that moment. I was worried that the baker would react coldly or even push my son away, which would hurt him deeply. However, to my surprise, the baker just smiled warmly at my son. He gently patted my son’s head and said, “Sure, I’d love to be your best friend.” My heart was filled with relief and gratitude. I knew that this simple act of kindness would mean the world to my son, who had always longed for acceptance.
Through tears, I saw the baker allowing my son to “help” him. My son was overjoyed as he was given a small piece of dough to knead. The baker patiently guided him, showing him how to press and fold the dough. As they worked together, I could see that a genuine friendship was forming between them. This moment turned out to be one of the most beautiful and heartwarming experiences of my life. It reminded me that kindness and acceptance can come from the most unexpected places.
