He is Joel Mikael Walker, a master’s student nearing graduation in the Henan University of Chinese Medicine. He skillfully performs techniques such as acupuncture (针灸), pulse diagnosis, and cupping (拔罐) therapy. Walker came to Henan province in 2015 when he was 20, because it is widely considered to be an important center for medical practice, education and research of traditional Chinese medicine. Now, he has fully adopted the lifestyle in Henan. On Chinese social media platforms, Walker is committed to promoting traditional Chinese medicine. His expertise in TCM fascinates Chinese netizens and he often uses ancient Chinese medical texts, for example, Huangdi Neijing, one of Chinese great medical works, to explain the philosophy behind the treatments. Other Chinese classics, such as Yijing, Zhuangzi, and Lunyu, which have long been foundation of Chinese philosophy, are also on Walker’s reading list. He takes pleasure in absorbing ancient wisdom because he finds many ideas deeply intertwined (交织) with TCM practices. One fundamental worldview of TCM highlights the balance, from which Walker himself benefited. In the past, he experienced significant emotional ups and downs, and tended to be somewhat stubborn, often viewing things from his own perspective. Now he has become more tolerant and approached issues from multiple angles with a more inclusive (包容的) perspective. In other words, his personality has also become more balanced. According to Walker, the unique wisdom rooted in Chinese culture can not only benefit physical well-being but can also extend beyond medicine and offer excellent guidance for the whole world. He stressed, “If more people could understand the TCM wisdom, the world would become more peaceful.” 4 What do we know about Walker from the first two paragraphs? A.

To share his ups and downs with netizens. 7. Which of the following may serve as the best title? A. Walker — A German who is devoted to TCM B. Walker — A man sets out to improve acupuncture C. TCM — A cure that brings balance to the world D. TCM — A medical practice that Walker is fond of 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了德国的Joel Mikael Walker专注于中医，在河南学习生活，推广中医并从中受益，认为中医智慧对世界有益。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Locals who frequently go to a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Zhengzhou, Henan province, are often surprised when they are treated by a German doctor specializing in TCM with fluent Henan dialect. He is Joel Mikael Walker, a master’s student nearing graduation in the Henan University of Chinese Medicine. (经常去河南郑州一家中医院就诊的当地人，在接受一位精通河南方言的德国中医治疗时，常常会感到惊讶。他是Joel Mikael Walker，河南中医药大学即将毕业的硕士研究生)”可知，Joel Mikael Walker精通河南方言，即他精通中文。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“His expertise in TCM fascinates Chinese netizens and he often uses ancient Chinese medical texts, for example, Huangdi Neijing, one of Chinese great medical works, to explain the philosophy behind the treatments.

In the past, he experienced significant emotional ups and downs, and tended to be somewhat stubborn, often viewing things from his own perspective. Now he has become more tolerant and approached issues from multiple angles with a more inclusive (包容的) perspective. In other words, his personality has also become more balanced. (中医的一个基本世界观强调平衡，Walker自己也从中受益。过去，他情绪起伏很大，而且有些固执，常常从自己的角度看问题。现在，他变得更加宽容，能够从多个角度以更包容的视角看待问题。换句话说，他的性格也变得更加平衡了)”可知，提到Walker的情绪经历是为了展示他从一个固执己见的人变得更为包容和平衡，即展示他的积极变化。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了德国人Walker在河南学习中医，致力于推广中医，并且从中医中受益，性格也变得更加平衡的故事。A选项“Walker — A German who is devoted to TCM.

As they pass, a camera, hidden in low plants, records the presence of each elephant. What is special about this group? It is only males. Female elephants are known to form tight family groups that are led by experienced females. Males were thought to be loners (不合群者), often leaving their mother’s herd when they reach 10 to 20 years of age. However, a new study shows that young males are not always loners. Younger male elephants were seen following older males as they traveled from place to place. The findings support other research that suggests older males play an important part in elephants’ complex society. The study was published recently in Scientific Reports. Researchers studied videos of 1,264 sightings of male African elephants. The elephants were traveling toward Botswana’s Boteti River in 2017 and 2018. They found that younger males rarely traveled alone while older males most often led groups of mixed ages. Scientists have long known more about breeding herds of female elephants, said Connie Allen, a biologist at the University of Exeter in Britain, who was a co-writer of the new paper. She added that males have complex social lives, and their groupings are not only shaped by family ties. When several young male elephants were ushered into a park in Pilanesberg, South Africa in the mid-1990s, they were very aggressive. They killed 40 white rhinoceros. But their behavior changed after six older male elephants were added to the park. “In some way, the older males create order,” said Carl Safina, an ecologist at Stony Brook University. Mature male elephants are larger and have longer tusks, often being the target of hunters — both legal and illegal — in Africa. She said that future conservation plans should consider the part that older males play. Males are more mysterious, she said, “but it turns out they aren’t such loners.” 8. For what reason is paragraph 1 written? A. To inform readers of the natural sight. B. To argue for the concept of the passage. C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To persuade readers to protect wildlife. 9. What does the new study suggest about elephants? A. Young males have a critical effect on their herd. B. Young male elephants do not travel on their own. C. Old males take the lead in the journey occasionally. D. Their groupings are formed by natural selection. 10 Which of the following may have the closest meaning of “usher” in paragraph 6? A. raised B. taken C. troubled D. contained 11. Which of the following adjectives can be used to describe old male elephants? A. movable and aggressive. B. unsocial but family-tied. C. mysterious but uncomplex. D. dominating and easily-targeted. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现年轻雄象并非总是不合群，会跟随年长雄象，年长雄象在大象社会中很重要，且易成为捕猎目标。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A group of elephants walk across an area in northern Botswana.(一群大象走过博茨瓦纳北部一个地区)”以及“What is special about this group? It is only males.(这个群体有什么特别之处？只有雄性)”可知，文章开头描述了一群只有雄性的大象穿过博茨瓦纳北部的一个区域，并且以此描述引出了后文关于雄性大象并非总是独行者的讨论，所以第一段是为了引入文章的主题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They found that younger males rarely traveled alone while older males most often led groups of mixed ages. (他们发现，年轻的雄性很少独自旅行，而年长的雄性通常带领年龄混合的群体)”以及第二段“However, a new study shows that young males are not always loners. (然而，一项新的研究表明，年轻的雄性并不总是独行者)”可知，新的研究表明年轻的雄性大象不会独自旅行。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段“When several young male elephants were ushered into a park in Pilanesberg, South Africa in the mid-1990s, they were very aggressive. They killed 40 white rhinoceros. But their behavior changed after six older male elephants were added to the park. (20世纪90年代中期，当几头年轻的雄性大象被usher到南非皮拉尼斯堡的一个公园时，它们非常具有攻击性。他们杀死了40头白犀牛。但在公园里增加了六头年长的雄性大象后，它们的行为发生了变化)”可知，雄性大象的行为发生了变化，推测usher的意思是“带领”，与taken意义相近。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““In some way, the older males create order,” said Carl Safina, an ecologist at Stony Brook University. Mature male elephants are larger and have longer tusks, often being the target of hunters — both legal and illegal — in Africa. (石溪大学生态学家Carl Safina说：“在某种程度上，年长的雄性创造了秩序。”。成年雄性大象体型更大，象牙更长，经常成为非洲合法和非法猎人的目标)”可知，年长的雄性大象有主导地位且容易被猎杀。故选D项。 D The Chinese manufacturing giant CATL, the biggest supplier of batteries for the world’s electric cars, said on Monday that it had made technological advances that would allow it to produce batteries that are cheaper, lighter, faster to recharge and more resistant to cold, while providing greater driving range. Most of the changes, which are a few years away from being widely available in new cars, could make electric cars more competitive in price and performance with gasoline-powered models. Batteries represent at least a third of the cost of an electric car, making CATL a critical player in the E. V. supply chain in China and beyond. The biggest surprise by CATL was an announcement about auxiliary (辅助的) batteries for electric cars. The batteries would share space in cars, which now takes large space. The auxiliary battery would be the first commercially available electric vehicle battery that would not use graphite (石墨) as one of its poles, CATL said. Removing costly graphite will eventually make the batteries cheaper and will allow 60 percent more electricity to be squeezed in each cubic inch of the battery, said Gao Huan, CATL’s chief technology officer for electric cars in China. The extra energy density means that the car’s driving range can be greater, or the overall size of the battery can be reduced, leaving more room for the car’s passenger seat. The second battery also would provide backup in case one has trouble. But taking out the graphite has a downside, which is why CATL will only remove it for the auxiliary batteries. Batteries without graphite recharge more slowly, and cannot be recharged many times. So they are meant to be used less frequently, on longer drives after the main battery is exhausted. The company said its new system would allow an electric vehicle to be charged enough in five minutes to drive 520 kilometers. CATL also said it would start selling sodium-ion batteries, which can retain over 90 percent of their charge even at a temperature of 40 degrees below zero. 12. What do we know about the new battery of CATL? A. It will soon hit the market because of the advances. B. It can be a supplement for gasoline-powered vehicles. C. It will make CATL a supplier in the auto-driving industry. D. It may reduce the production costs of electric vehicles. 13. What is the benefit of taking out graphite in a battery? A. Make more room in the car. B. Save more raw materials. C. Extend the trunk area. D. Optimize (优化) the driving range. 14. Which situation might be suitable for the auxiliary battery use? A. You need quick charging. B. Your main battery is flat. C. You constantly use it for transport. D. You want a long distance travel. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The new charging system will soon replace traditional methods. B. Sodium-ion batteries perform better in high-temperature environments. C. Sodium-ion batteries are less affected by extremely cold conditions. D. The new batteries significantly reduce production costs. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了宁德时代的新型电池技术，包括辅助电池去石墨化及钠离子电池的特点、优势和适用场景等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Removing costly graphite will eventually make the batteries cheaper and will allow 60 percent more electricity to be squeezed in each cubic inch of the battery, said Gao Huan, CATL’s chief technology officer for electric cars in China. (CATL中国电动汽车首席技术官高欢表示，去除昂贵的石墨最终将使电池更便宜，并将使每立方英寸电池的电量增加60%)”以及第二段“Batteries represent at least a third of the cost of an electric car, making CATL a critical player in the E. V. supply chain in China and beyond. (电池至少占电动汽车成本的三分之一，这使得CATL成为中国乃至全球电动汽车供应链中的关键参与者)”可知，CATL的新电池可能会降低电动汽车的生产成本。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Removing costly graphite will eventually make the batteries cheaper and will allow 60 percent more electricity to be squeezed in each cubic inch of the battery, said Gao Huan, CATL’s chief technology officer for electric cars in China. The extra energy density means that the car’s driving range can be greater, or the overall size of the battery can be reduced, leaving more room for the car’s passenger seat.(CATL中国电动汽车首席技术官高欢表示，去除昂贵的石墨最终将使电池更便宜，并将使每立方英寸电池的电量增加60%。额外的能量密度意味着汽车的行驶里程可以更大，或者电池的整体尺寸可以减小，为汽车的乘客座椅留下更多空间)”可知，去除电池中的石墨可以使电池的整体尺寸减小，为汽车留下更多空间。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The second battery also would provide backup in case one has trouble. But taking out the graphite has a downside, which is why CATL will only remove it for the auxiliary batteries. Batteries without graphite recharge more slowly, and cannot be recharged many times. So they are meant to be used less frequently, on longer drives after the main battery is exhausted.(第二个电池也将在有人遇到问题时提供备用。但去除石墨有一个缺点，这就是为什么CATL只会将其用于辅助电池。没有石墨的电池充电速度较慢，不能多次充电。因此，它们的使用频率较低，在主电池耗尽后进行更长时间的驾驶)”可知，当你遇到问题，即主电池耗尽时，你可能会使用辅助电池。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“CATL also said it would start selling sodium-ion batteries, which can retain over 90 percent of their charge even at a temperature of 40 degrees below zero. (CATL还表示，将开始销售钠离子电池，这种电池即使在零下40摄氏度的温度下，也能保留90%以上的电量)”可知，钠离子电池受极寒条件的影响较小。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。 You sit down at your computer ready to tackle the work you’ve been promising yourself you’d do. But unavoidably, your inbox pings and your phone rings. Then, just as you’re about to dive in, you reach for your phone, scan headlines, and scroll social media — your focus is lost. So how can you strengthen your focus skills and stay on track? What simple techniques can help you cut down on interruptions? ____16____ Here’s what experts suggest. Lay the groundwork. Planning your brain for focus starts with fundamental self-care, according to Montminy, an expert, “You need to keep habits like sleep and physical activity, she says. ____17____ Montminy recommends establishing “focus rituals, ”or signals that tell your brain it’s time to concentrate. ____18____ With the fundamentals in place, you next need to use your natural focus. Our attention is goal-directed, meaning we naturally concentrate on what matches our objectives and priorities, explains Mark, who specialized in psychology. “If your goals are very clear, that’s going to keep you focused.” She suggests writing down your goals and keep them as reminders to train your brain. Direct your emotions. “People who feel more positive can actually focus better, do more, and be more creative,” says Mark. She recommends envisioning (展望) your desired emotional state to guide behavior. ____19____ You might, for instance, picture yourself peaceful and relaxed, enjoying a quiet moment on the couch with a book, or happily relaxing with friends. By setting emotional goals, you’re creating a map that helps your brain seek balance and reduce stress. Practice active listening. Losing focus occurs in team meetings on Zoom and can happen even in person when you’re talking with a colleague one minute, and the next, you’re mentally elsewhere, distracted by your phone. To improve your focus and rebuild connection, Montminy recommends making a deliberate effort to practice active listening. This involves maintaining eye contact, focusing on what the other person is saying, and asking thoughtful questions. ____20____ A. Train your brain’s attention. B. Interrupt your distractions. C. Creating consistent environmental cues is also key. D. So, ask yourself: “At 7 PM, how do I want to feel?” E. And how can you create an environment that supports better concentration? F. By listening, you will have the opportunity to be clear of yourself as well as others G. By doing so, you not only sharpen your concentration but also deepen your connections. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了专家建议的增强专注力、减少干扰的方法，包括打好基础、利用自然专注力等。 【16题详解】 上文“So how can you strengthen your focus skills and stay on track? What simple techniques can help you cut down on interruptions? (那么，你怎样才能增强自己的专注力并保持在正轨上呢？有哪些简单的方法可以帮助你减少干扰呢？)”提出了两个关于如何增强专注力和减少干扰的问题，下文开始阐述专家给出的建议，E选项“And how can you create an environment that supports better concentration? (并且你怎样才能创造一个有助于更好集中注意力的环境呢？)”进一步提出与专注力相关的另一个问题，与上文并列，并引出下文专家建议，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 下文“Montminy recommends establishing ‘focus rituals,’ or signals that tell your brain it’s time to concentrate. (Montminy建议建立“专注仪式”，也就是告诉大脑该集中注意力的信号)”提到Montminy建议建立“专注仪式”，即告诉大脑该集中注意力的信号，C选项“Creating consistent environmental cues is also key. (创造一致的环境暗示也很关键)”中environmental cues与下文signals相呼应，进一步说明创造环境暗示对专注力的重要性，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 该空为段落标题。下文“Our attention is goal-directed, meaning we naturally concentrate on what matches our objectives and priorities, explains Mark, who specialized in psychology. ‘If your goals are very clear, that’s going to keep you focused.’ She suggests writing down your goals and keep them as reminders to train your brain. (专门研究心理学的Mark解释说，我们的注意力是有目标导向的，这意味着我们自然会专注于与我们的目标和优先事项相匹配的事情。“如果你的目标非常明确，那会让你保持专注。”她建议写下你的目标，并把它们作为提醒来训练你的大脑)”主要讲述了注意力是有目标导向的，明确目标能保持专注，建议写下目标来训练大脑，由此可知，该段主要围绕训练大脑的注意力展开，A选项“Train your brain’s attention. (训练你的大脑注意力)”符合段落主旨，适合作为标题。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“She recommends envisioning (展望) your desired emotional state to guide behavior. (她建议展望你期望的情绪状态来引导行为)”提到Mark建议展望你期望的情绪状态来引导行为，以及下文“You might, for instance, picture yourself peaceful and relaxed, enjoying a quiet moment on the couch with a book, or happily relaxing with friends.

I loved science and technology, and my school had clubs for these interests. One day, I found the robotics club and decided to join. The club was full of students who loved to create and build things. My best friend, Alex, was the vice president, and our teacher, Mr. Thompson, was a former engineer. We spent hours after school working on our robots, learning to code, and joining in contests. My parents were very supportive and encouraged me to follow my interests. Our school participated in robotics contests every year. These contests were not just about winning; they were about learning and teamwork. We spent weeks designing and building our robots and programming them to perform tasks. It was a complex process that required patience and hard work. One year, our school decided to join in a national robotics contest. Our team, “the RoboRaptors”, worked hard to design and build a robot named “Omega” that could perform various tasks. We spent many weekends perfecting our design, and as the contest approached, we felt excited and nervous. We knew this contest would be a big challenge with teams from across the country. The day of the contest finally arrived, and our team was ready. We had practiced and prepared as much as we could, and now it was time to see if our hard work would pay off. We loaded our robot into the car and drove to the contest venue, feeling both excited and worried. But just before we left, we discovered that an important part of Omega was missing, which could ruin our chances. 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。 Desperate, we searched everywhere for the missing part. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when we were about to give up, Mr. Thompson had an idea. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Desperate, we searched everywhere for the missing part. We checked the workshop, the storage room, and even our backpacks, but it was nowhere to be found. Panic started to set in as we realized that without this part, our robot Omega would be incomplete and unable to perform as expected. Time was running out, and we could feel the pressure mounting. We couldn’t let all our hard work go to waste because of one missing piece. Just when we were about to give up, Mr. Thompson had an idea. He suggested that we use a spare part from one of our previous robots. It wasn’t a perfect solution, but it was our only hope. We quickly modified the robot to fit the spare part, and with fingers crossed, we tested it. To our relief, Omega worked perfectly. We were filled with a sense of accomplishment and relief as we loaded the robot back into the car and headed to the contest venue, ready to face the challenge ahead. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者热爱科技并加入学校机器人俱乐部，与队友们一起努力准备全国机器人比赛，但在出发前发现机器人重要部件丢失。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“绝望中，我们四处寻找丢失的部件。”可知，第一段可描写我们四处寻找丢失的部件，但始终未找到，开始感到恐慌，并意识到没有这个部件，机器人将无法正常工作，时间紧迫，我们不愿让努力付诸东流。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我们即将放弃的时候，Mr. Thompson有了一个主意。”可知，第二段可描写Mr. Thompson提出使用之前机器人的备用部件，我们迅速修改机器人并测试，结果令人欣慰，我们带着成就感和如释重负的心情前往比赛场地。 2.续写线索：未找到部件开始恐慌——意识到机器人无法正常工作——Mr. Thompson提出主意——使用备用部件修改机器人——测试机器人成功——带着成就感和如释重负前往比赛场地 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①检查：check/examine ②意识到：realize/become aware/come to understand ③建议：suggest/advise ④修改：modify/alter 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/scare/alarm ②期待：expect/anticipate ③成就感：a sense of accomplishment/a sense of achievement 【点睛】[高分句型1] Panic started to set in as we realized that without this part, our robot Omega would be incomplete and unable to perform as expected.(运用了as引导时间状语从句和that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] He suggested that we use a spare part from one of our previous robots.(运用了that引导宾语从句和虚拟语气) [高分句型3] We were filled with a sense of accomplishment and relief as we loaded the robot back into the car and headed to the contest venue, ready to face the challenge ahead.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 全市2024—2025学年度第二学期普通高中质量监测考试 高二年级英语试题 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.

B Locals who frequently go to a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Zhengzhou, Henan province, are often surprised when they are treated by a German doctor specializing in TCM with fluent Henan dialect. He is Joel Mikael Walker, a master’s student nearing graduation in the Henan University of Chinese Medicine. He skillfully performs techniques such as acupuncture (针灸), pulse diagnosis, and cupping (拔罐) therapy. Walker came to Henan province in 2015 when he was 20, because it is widely considered to be an important center for medical practice, education and research of traditional Chinese medicine. Now, he has fully adopted the lifestyle in Henan. On Chinese social media platforms, Walker is committed to promoting traditional Chinese medicine. His expertise in TCM fascinates Chinese netizens and he often uses ancient Chinese medical texts, for example, Huangdi Neijing, one of Chinese great medical works, to explain the philosophy behind the treatments. Other Chinese classics, such as Yijing, Zhuangzi, and Lunyu, which have long been foundation of Chinese philosophy, are also on Walker’s reading list. He takes pleasure in absorbing ancient wisdom because he finds many ideas deeply intertwined (交织) with TCM practices. One fundamental worldview of TCM highlights the balance, from which Walker himself benefited. In the past, he experienced significant emotional ups and downs, and tended to be somewhat stubborn, often viewing things from his own perspective. Now he has become more tolerant and approached issues from multiple angles with a more inclusive (包容的) perspective. In other words, his personality has also become more balanced. According to Walker, the unique wisdom rooted in Chinese culture can not only benefit physical well-being but can also extend beyond medicine and offer excellent guidance for the whole world. He stressed, “If more people could understand the TCM wisdom, the world would become more peaceful.” 4. What do we know about Walker from the first two paragraphs? A. He is surprised at the locals’ dialect. B. He has got the hang of the Chinese language. C He is second to none in pulse diagnosis. D. He finds it hard to adapt to his life in China. 5. Why does Walker use Chinese ancient medical works? A. To extend his reading. B. To find commitment to classics. C. To learn more lifestyles. D. To explain philosophy behind treatments. 6. What is the purpose of mentioning Walker’s emotional experiences? A. To show his positive changes. B. To tell the peaceful world to us. C. To introduce his love for TCM. D. To share his ups and downs with netizens. 7. Which of the following may serve as the best title? A. Walker — A German who is devoted to TCM B Walker — A man sets out to improve acupuncture C. TCM — A cure that brings balance to the world D. TCM — A medical practice that Walker is fond of C A group of elephants walk across an area in northern Botswana. Their ears move and their trunks sometimes touch the ground. As they pass, a camera, hidden in low plants, records the presence of each elephant. What is special about this group? It is only males. Female elephants are known to form tight family groups that are led by experienced females. Males were thought to be loners (不合群者), often leaving their mother’s herd when they reach 10 to 20 years of age. However, a new study shows that young males are not always loners. Younger male elephants were seen following older males as they traveled from place to place. The findings support other research that suggests older males play an important part in elephants’ complex society. The study was published recently in Scientific Reports. Researchers studied videos of 1,264 sightings of male African elephants. The elephants were traveling toward Botswana’s Boteti River in 2017 and 2018. They found that younger males rarely traveled alone while older males most often led groups of mixed ages. Scientists have long known more about breeding herds of female elephants, said Connie Allen, a biologist at the University of Exeter in Britain, who was a co-writer of the new paper. She added that males have complex social lives, and their groupings are not only shaped by family ties. When several young male elephants were ushered into a park in Pilanesberg, South Africa in the mid-1990s, they were very aggressive. They killed 40 white rhinoceros. But their behavior changed after six older male elephants were added to the park. “In some way, the older males create order,” said Carl Safina, an ecologist at Stony Brook University. Mature male elephants are larger and have longer tusks, often being the target of hunters — both legal and illegal — in Africa. She said that future conservation plans should consider the part that older males play. Males are more mysterious, she said, “but it turns out they aren’t such loners.” 8. For what reason is paragraph 1 written? A. To inform readers of the natural sight. B. To argue for the concept of the passage. C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To persuade readers to protect wildlife. 9. What does the new study suggest about elephants? A. Young males have a critical effect on their herd. B. Young male elephants do not travel on their own. C. Old males take the lead in the journey occasionally. D. Their groupings are formed by natural selection. 10. Which of the following may have the closest meaning of “usher” in paragraph 6? A. raised B. taken C. troubled D. contained 11. Which of the following adjectives can be used to describe old male elephants? A. movable and aggressive. B. unsocial but family-tied. C. mysterious but uncomplex. D. dominating and easily-targeted. D The Chinese manufacturing giant CATL, the biggest supplier of batteries for the world’s electric cars, said on Monday that it had made technological advances that would allow it to produce batteries that are cheaper, lighter, faster to recharge and more resistant to cold, while providing greater driving range. Most of the changes, which are a few years away from being widely available in new cars, could make electric cars more competitive in price and performance with gasoline-powered models. Batteries represent at least a third of the cost of an electric car, making CATL a critical player in the E. V. supply chain in China and beyond. The biggest surprise by CATL was an announcement about auxiliary (辅助的) batteries for electric cars. The batteries would share space in cars, which now takes large space. The auxiliary battery would be the first commercially available electric vehicle battery that would not use graphite (石墨) as one of its poles, CATL said. Removing costly graphite will eventually make the batteries cheaper and will allow 60 percent more electricity to be squeezed in each cubic inch of the battery, said Gao Huan, CATL’s chief technology officer for electric cars in China. The extra energy density means that the car’s driving range can be greater, or the overall size of the battery can be reduced, leaving more room for the car’s passenger seat. The second battery also would provide backup in case one has trouble. But taking out the graphite has a downside, which is why CATL will only remove it for the auxiliary batteries. Batteries without graphite recharge more slowly, and cannot be recharged many times. So they are meant to be used less frequently, on longer drives after the main battery is exhausted. The company said its new system would allow an electric vehicle to be charged enough in five minutes to drive 520 kilometers.

But unavoidably, your inbox pings and your phone rings. Then, just as you’re about to dive in, you reach for your phone, scan headlines, and scroll social media — your focus is lost. So how can you strengthen your focus skills and stay on track? What simple techniques can help you cut down on interruptions? ____16____ Here’s what experts suggest. Lay the groundwork. Planning your brain for focus starts with fundamental self-care, according to Montminy, an expert, “You need to keep habits like sleep and physical activity, she says. ____17____ Montminy recommends establishing “focus rituals, ”or signals that tell your brain it’s time to concentrate. ____18____ With the fundamentals in place, you next need to use your natural focus. Our attention is goal-directed, meaning we naturally concentrate on what matches our objectives and priorities, explains Mark, who specialized in psychology. “If your goals are very clear, that’s going to keep you focused.” She suggests writing down your goals and keep them as reminders to train your brain. Direct your emotions. “People who feel more positive can actually focus better, do more, and be more creative,” says Mark. She recommends envisioning (展望) your desired emotional state to guide behavior. ____19____ You might, for instance, picture yourself peaceful and relaxed, enjoying a quiet moment on the couch with a book, or happily relaxing with friends. By setting emotional goals, you’re creating a map that helps your brain seek balance and reduce stress. Practice active listening. Losing focus occurs in team meetings on Zoom and can happen even in person when you’re talking with a colleague one minute, and the next, you’re mentally elsewhere, distracted by your phone. To improve your focus and rebuild connection, Montminy recommends making a deliberate effort to practice active listening. This involves maintaining eye contact, focusing on what the other person is saying, and asking thoughtful questions. ____20____ A. Train your brain’s attention. B. Interrupt your distractions. C. Creating consistent environmental cues is also key. D. So, ask yourself: “At 7 PM, how do I want to feel?” E. And how can you create an environment that supports better concentration? F.

By doing so, you not only sharpen your concentration but also deepen your connections. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 At 60, Liz Earle is energized, clear-headed, and understands that the way she lives her life will give her the best chance of longevity (长寿).

I loved science and technology, and my school had clubs for these interests. One day, I found the robotics club and decided to join. The club was full of students who loved to create and build things. My best friend, Alex, was the vice president, and our teacher, Mr. Thompson, was a former engineer. We spent hours after school working on our robots, learning to code, and joining in contests. My parents were very supportive and encouraged me to follow my interests. Our school participated in robotics contests every year. These contests were not just about winning; they were about learning and teamwork. We spent weeks designing and building our robots and programming them to perform tasks. It was a complex process that required patience and hard work. One year, our school decided to join in a national robotics contest. Our team, “the RoboRaptors”, worked hard to design and build a robot named “Omega” that could perform various tasks. We spent many weekends perfecting our design, and as the contest approached, we felt excited and nervous. We knew this contest would be a big challenge with teams from across the country. The day of the contest finally arrived, and our team was ready. We had practiced and prepared as much as we could, and now it was time to see if our hard work would pay off. We loaded our robot into the car and drove to the contest venue, feeling both excited and worried. But just before we left, we discovered that an important part of Omega was missing, which could ruin our chances. 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。 Desperate, we searched everywhere for the missing part. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when we were about to give up, Mr. Thompson had an idea. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
