It is under the administration of Sabah Wildlife Department with the aim of returning orphaned, injured or displaced orangutans back into the wild. The centre is situated on the east coast of Sabah (Sandakan district) and covered over4, 294 hectares of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve. Feeding Generally, visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10: 00 am and 3: 00 pm feeding sessions at the platform. Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment. Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks. Unauthorized access to restricted areas is strictly prohibited. Entrance fee is applicable Adults Children $5.00(Malaysian) $30.00(Non-Malaysian) $2.00(Malaysian) $15.00 (Non-Malaysian) 1. Why might visitors fail to see the orangutans during feeding time? A. The orangutans are afraid of visitors’ noise. B. The orangutans don’t like food offered by SORC. C. The orangutans have found enough food in the wild. D. The orangutans are kept in their rooms due to the bad weather. 2. What are visitors prohibited from doing at the SORC? A. Taking photos. B. Touching the orangutans. C. Talking with each other. D. Walking along the designated pathways. 3. How much will a Malaysian teacher with an American pupil pay to enter the centre? A. $7.00. B. $20.00. C. $32.00. D. $45.00. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要说明了红毛猩猩喂食时间、猩猩不出现的原因及参观准则。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season.(有没有出现过猩猩没有按时前来进食的情况呢？当然有！不过我们要提醒您的是，这种情况并非经常发生。主要原因在于，猩猩能够在野外获取食物，尤其是在果实成熟的季节)”可知，游客在喂食时间可能会看不到猩猩是因为猩猩在野外已经找到了足够的食物。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分“No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans.(禁止触碰或喂食：请勿触碰、喂食或试图与猩猩进行互动)”可知，在索罗克保护区，游客被禁止触摸猩猩。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Adults：$5.00(Malaysian)；Children：$15.00 (Non-Malaysian)(成人票价：5.00美元（马来西亚人）；儿童票价：15.00美元（非马来西亚人）)”可知，一位马来西亚教师和一名美国学生，需要支付5+15=20美元才能进入该中心。故选B。 B Today, I witnessed something silently powerful — a moving example of courage and inner strength. It was not loud or dramatic, but it left a deep impression on me. In a world where people often feel helpless when facing difficulties, this woman showed me that strength doesn’t always appear in big ways. Sometimes, it’s found in simple actions and daily choices. She lived in a remote village, far from the noise of the city. Life was not easy for her. Years ago, she lost her only son — a loss that left a deep pain in her heart. Not long after, her husband passed away too, leaving her to face the world on her own. To make things harder, she didn’t have a driver’s license and lived far from the nearest store, more than twenty kilometers away. With no public transport and no one to drive her, daily life became full of small but real challenges. She didn’t give in, though. Instead of waiting for help, she found her own solution. She bought a simple scooter (小型摩托车) — one that doesn’t require a license — and learned to ride it herself. Now, whenever she needs to go into town, she sets out alone, riding through fields and hills. For others, it might seem like an ordinary trip, but for her, it is a sign of her will and independence. Every time she arrives at the store, it’s more than just a success — it’s proof that she still has control over her life. Knowing her experience made me think deeply. Her courage doesn’t come from big words, but from the way she faces each day. In difficult times, she chooses to move forward rather than give up. Her story reminds us that true strength often shows in quiet ways — and that even in the hardest moments, we are stronger than we think. 4. What challenge did the woman face in daily life? A. Lacking even basic living skills. B. Having no access to daily necessities. C Being unable to get a driver’s license. D. Having difficulty with transport. 5. What do we know about the woman from paragraph 3? A. She independently learned to ride a scooter. B. She used a scooter to deliver goods to the store. C. She waited for the help from others. D. She moved much closer to town. 6. Which of the following best describes the woman’s action according to the author? A. Ordinary. B. Demanding. C. Temporary. D. Inspiring. 7. What does the woman’s story mainly teach us? A. Small actions can show great strength. B. Rural life requires more flexibility. C. Social support is vital for survival. D. Technology simplifies daily challenges. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位生活在偏远村庄的妇女在接连失去儿子和丈夫后，凭借自身努力克服交通困难，展现出非凡勇气与内在力量的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“With no public transport and no one to drive her, daily life became full of small but real challenges.(没有公共交通，也没有人开车送她，日常生活充满了小而真实的挑战)”以及第三段中“She bought a simple scooter (小型摩托车) — one that doesn’t require a license — and learned to ride it herself.(她买了一辆简单的不需要驾照的小型摩托车，并自己学会了骑它)”可知，这位妇女在日常生活中面临的挑战是交通困难。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She bought a simple scooter (小型摩托车) — one that doesn’t require a license — and learned to ride it herself.(她买了一辆简单的不需要驾照的小型摩托车，并自己学会了骑它)”可知，她独立学会了骑小型摩托车。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Today, I witnessed something silently powerful — a moving example of courage and inner strength.(今天，我目睹了一件无声却有力的事情——一个关于勇气和内在力量的感人例子)”以及最后一段中“Her story reminds us that true strength often shows in quiet ways — and that even in the hardest moments, we are stronger than we think.(她的故事提醒我们，真正的力量往往以安静的方式展现——即使在最艰难的时刻，我们也比自己想象的更强大)”可知，作者认为这位妇女的行为是鼓舞人心的。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Sometimes, it’s found in simple actions and daily choices.(有时候，它体现在简单的行动和日常的选择中)”以及最后一段中“Her story reminds us that true strength often shows in quiet ways — and that even in the hardest moments, we are stronger than we think.(她的故事提醒我们，真正的力量往往以安静的方式展现——即使在最艰难的时刻，我们也比自己想象的更强大)”可知，这位妇女的故事主要告诉我们：小行动可以展现出巨大的力量。故选A。 C Award-winning The Atlantic staff writes Zoe Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of popular science — The Light Eaters that explores the hidden world of the plant kingdom and reveals the astonishing capabilities of the green life all around us. It takes great biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and grow well while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted clever methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their relatives and behave socially, hear sounds, change to shape their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit, to name just a few remarkable talents. The Light Eaters is a deep dive into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency. consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than copy human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel (相似的) system. What is intelligent life if not a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the bill of its pollinator (传粉者), a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it? Zoe Schlanger takes us across the globe, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing organisms up close. What can we learn about life on Earth from the living things that grow well, adapt, consume, and accommodate at the same time? Examining the latest revelations in botanical research, Schlanger highlights the intellectual struggles among the researchers developing an entirely new view of their subject, offering a glimpse (一瞥) of a field in chaos as plant scientists debate the principles of ongoing discoveries and how they influence our understanding of what a plant is. We need plants to survive. But what do they need us for — if at all? Offering an eye opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants and our own place-in the natural world. 8. What does the bock The Light Eaters mainly focus on? A. The importance of plants. B. Plants’ surprising survival abilities. C. Animal-plant communication methods. D The scientists’ challenges in the study of green life. 9. Why does the author mention “a pea seedling” in paragraph 3? A. To compare different kinds of plant social behavior. B. To clarify how plants copy human intelligence. C. To indicate the link between humans and plants. D. To prove plants have their own unique intelligence. 10. What can we learn about plant scientists regarding the discoveries from paragraph 4? A. They reach no agreement. B. They have unified conclusions. C. They ignore plants’ memories. D. They struggle to redefine plant. 11. What does the author think of the book The Light Eaters? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in insights. C. It is hard and complex. D. It is highly debatable. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要评述了科普著作《光之食者》，介绍了其揭示植物生存智慧、挑战传统认知的内容及学术价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Award-winning The Atlantic staff writes Zoe Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of popular science — The Light Eaters that explores the hidden world of the plant kingdom and reveals the astonishing capabilities of the green life all around us. (屡获殊荣的《大西洋月刊》撰稿人佐伊·施朗格为我们带来了一部开创性的科普作品——《光之食者》，这本书探索了植物王国的隐秘世界，揭示了我们周围绿色生物的惊人能力)”和第二段中“To survive and grow well while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted clever methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their relatives and behave socially, hear sounds, change to shape their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit, to name just a few remarkable talents. (为了在一个地方扎根生存和生长，植物已经适应了聪明的生存方法。近年来，科学家们已经了解了它们的交流能力，识别亲缘植株和社交行为，感知声音，改变身体形状以融入周围环境，储存告知其生命周期的有用记忆，以及欺骗动物为他们的利益行事，这只是一些非凡的才能)”可知，书籍聚焦于植物令人惊叹的生存能力。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“What is intelligent life if not a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the bill of its pollinator (传粉者), a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it?(如果一朵花调整绽放的形状以完全适应传粉者的需求，一株豌豆幼苗能听到水流声并朝着水流方向生长，那么这难道不是智慧生命吗？)”可知，提到豌豆幼苗是为了证明植物有自己独特的智慧。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Examining the latest revelations in botanical research, Schlanger highlights the intellectual struggles among the researchers developing an entirely new view of their subject, offering a glimpse (一瞥) of a field in chaos as plant scientists debate the principles of ongoing discoveries and how they influence our understanding of what a plant is.(在考察植物学研究的最新发现时，Schlanger强调了研究人员之间的智力斗争，这些研究人员正在开发他们的学科的全新观点，当植物科学家们争论正在进行的发现的原理以及它们如何影响我们对植物的理解时，他们提供了一个混乱的领域的一瞥)”可知，科学家对植物新发现尚未达成共识。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Offering an eye opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants and our own place-in the natural world.(这本书让我们对我们所处的生态系统提供了开阔眼界且信息丰富的视角，促使我们重新思考植物在自然界中的作用以及我们自己的位置)”可知，作者认为这本书富有洞察力。故选B。 D Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. Researchers divided workers into four categories: those who always work remotely; those with hybrid (混合的) arrangements (splitting time between home and office); those based in an office but free to work remotely; and those who must remain in an office at all times. The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office-only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. Despite higher engagement, fully remote workers reported more frequent stress: 45%said they often felt tense, compared to a lower proportion among office-based staff. Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%). Moreover, at least one-quarter of remote workers admitted to feelings of anger, loneliness, or sadness — emotions less commonly reported by those working entirely on-site. Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main reasons for these findings. First, remote workers miss the informal interactions — chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together — that foster a sense of connection and reduce stress. Second, working from home demands self-management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that companies must address the emotional needs of all employees, whether they work from home or in an office. While remote work can boost focus and flexibility, organizations should offer social support, clear guidelines for time management, and opportunities for in-person collaboration (合作). Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses ensure long-term success and a truly satisfied workforce. For example, companies might organize regular virtual coffee breaks, schedule occasional in-person gatherings. Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout. By combining structured support programs with flexible policies, businesses can create a work environment that fosters engagement, protects mental health, and sustains productivity. 12. What did the research find about the employees working entirely from home? A. They focus more on tasks but feel worse emotionally. B. They have lower stress than office staff. C. They feel much more stressed than hybrid workers. D. They value flexibility more than teamwork. 13. Which employee group is reported the least work engagement? A. Those dividing time between home and workplace. B. Those allowed flexibility to work off-site. C. Those required to work at an office only. D. Those managing tasks remotely. 14. What does the underlined word “blur” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Clarify. B. Confuse. C. Separate. D. Define. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Manage a Remote Team B. The Rise of Digital Communication C. The Emotional Impact of Working from Home D. Office vs. Home: a Productivity Comparison 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了远程工作日益普遍，研究发现全远程工作者工作投入度更高，但负面情绪更强，还分析了原因并给出企业应对建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. (根据盖洛普最近一项基于全球调查的报告，全远程工作者可能对任务更投入，但他们经常会经历更强烈的负面情绪)”可知，全远程工作者更专注于任务，但情绪方面感觉更糟。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. (研究发现，31%的全远程员工表示有工作投入感，即他们对工作感兴趣并专注于工作，而仅在办公室工作的员工中只有19%有类似感受，这是所有类别中比例最低的)”可知，只被要求在办公室工作的员工工作投入度最低。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Second, working from home demands self management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. (其次，在家工作需要自我管理时间和任务；持续的在线会议和信息传递会加剧压力，并……工作与生活的界限)”和常识可知，在家工作时，持续的线上工作会让工作和生活的界限变得不清晰，混淆它们之间的界限。所以划线词blur与B项“Confuse”意思相近，表示“混淆”。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. (远程工作变得越来越普遍，但它真的能提高员工的幸福感吗?根据盖洛普最近一项基于全球调查的报告，全远程工作者可能对任务更投入，但他们经常会经历更强烈的负面情绪)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项关于远程工作对员工情绪的影响的研究。故C项“The Emotional Impact of Working from Home (在家工作对情绪影响)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。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。 This guide provides you with some best tips on how to look after your mental health.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何照顾心理健康的一些最佳建议。 【16题详解】 上文“To get the best out of nature’s healing effects, try adjusting your senses to surroundings like trees, plants and animals.(为了充分利用大自然的治愈效果，试着调整你的感官去适应树木、植物和动物等环境)”说明要调整感官去感受大自然，空处进一步说明与自然环境建立联系的做法。所以D项“Take a deep breath and see how you feel(深呼吸，感受一下你的感受)”符合语境，通过呼吸感受来加强与自然的连接。故选D。 【17题详解】 下文“If you have ever felt lonely, it helps to have even a small connection with someone else. Being kind can boost our mood and strengthen our connections with others.(如果你曾经感到孤独，那么与他人建立哪怕是很小的联系也是有帮助的。善良可以提升我们的情绪，加强我们与他人的联系)”说明本段主要讲述要善良，与他人建立联系。所以B项“Be kind and help create a better world(善良一点，帮助创造一个更美好的世界)”符合语境，适合作为本段主题句。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“If you don’t know where to start, you could try small but meaningful acts of kindness, such as offering a smile or a few kind words to another person.(如果你不知道从哪里开始，你可以尝试一些小而有意义的善举，比如对别人微笑或者说几句好话)”说明可以尝试一些小善举，空格处继续说明这些善举的作用。所以G项“You could not only make their day but feel better for it(你不仅能让对方开心，自己也会感觉更好)”符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“We can all get stuck in routines. Notice this and try out new things. It could be as simple as what we have for breakfast.

Just talking things through with a person we trust can help.(告诉别人我们的感受需要很大的勇气，尤其是如果我们通常不做那种事的话。只要和我们信任的人把事情说清楚就会有帮助)”上文提到“和信任的人倾诉感受会有帮助”，空处应进一步说明倾诉的意义。所以A项“Express yourself in your own way(用你自己的方式表达自己)”承接“倾诉”这一话题，说明表达自我能带来安全感，减少孤独感，符合逻辑。故选A。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 14-year-old Cody Chalmers was simply riding his bike near his father’s home.

Since elementary school, they’d been a perfect duo (搭档) — Emma played the piano, and Ryan sang with a voice that attracted many people’s attention. Over the years, they’d performed at school events, birthday parties, and even significant ceremonies. Everyone called them “Seabrook Sound”, and they secretly dreamed of studying in a prestigious art institute in the city together. This year, the school was hosting a talent showcase. The winner would get a scholarship and a guaranteed spot at the school of their dreams. Emma and Ryan were determined to win. They decided to write an original song— one that combined Emma’s soft melodies with Ryan’s powerful vocals. It was a bold move, but they believed in their partnership. At first, things flowed naturally and lyrics came like waves on the shore. But as they got deeper into the process, cracks began to form. Emma wanted the song to be about quiet perseverance, something deep and poetic. Ryan, on the other hand, wanted a more upbeat song — catchy, loud, something that would get the audience clapping. “I don’t want to sound like a sad diary,” Ryan shouted one afternoon. “And I don’t want to play a terrible song,” Emma fired back. Their teamwork turned into silent standoffs (僵局). Ryan began skipping practice, choosing to record musical ideas on his own. Emma did the same, writing new versions of the song late into the night, her fingers dancing over the keys alone. Pride, frustration, and unspoken hurt grew between them like a wall. The day of the showcase arrived. The hall was filled with excitement, and students backstage were busy warming up or pacing nervously. Emma and Ryan barely spoke as they took their places at opposite ends of the dressing room. They had each prepared their own version of the song, determined to perform solo(独自地). 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。 Emma walked onto the stage alone, with her heart pounding. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Emma’s struggle, Ryan stood up and walked toward the stage without hesitation. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Emma walked onto the stage alone, with her heart pounding. The piano had never felt so distant, or cold under her trembling fingers. The spotlight blinded her for a moment, but she sat down, took a deep breath, and began. Her soft melody filled the hall, gentle and slow, like waves brushing the shore. But something felt wrong. The notes were there, the lyrics were there— but the spark wasn’t. Without Ryan’s voice weaving through hers, the song sounded empty. Her fingers hesitated mid-verse. For a long second, silence wrapped the room. Seeing Emma’s struggle, Ryan stood up and walked toward the stage without hesitation. Only when Ryan stepped into the light did Emma look up, her eyes wide with surprise and hope. Without saying a word, Ryan took the mi c and nodded. As Emma picked up the melody again, Ryan’s voice joined hers — rich, steady, and full of the emotion they had once poured into every note together. The tension was gone, replaced by the rhythm of trust. By the final note, the auditorium erupted in applause. It was not the polished solo acts that won the crowd, but the imperfect, heartfelt reunion of two friends who had found their way back to each other — through music. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在海滨小镇，艾玛和瑞安是音乐搭档，梦想一起进入艺术学院。为才艺展示他们因创作理念分歧产生矛盾，决定各自表演。但艾玛独奏时觉歌曲空洞，瑞安主动上台合唱，他们饱含真情的重聚赢得掌声。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾玛独自走上舞台，心怦怦直跳”可知，第一段可描写艾玛独奏时觉歌曲空洞。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到艾玛苦苦挣扎的样子，瑞安毫不犹豫地站起身，走向舞台”可知，第二段可描写瑞安主动上台合唱，他们饱含真情的重聚赢得掌声。 2.续写线索：艾玛独自上台——开始演奏——感觉空洞——陷入寂静——瑞安主动上台——完成演出——赢得掌声——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②爆发：erupt/burst into ③充满：be full of/be filled with 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②真诚的：heartfelt/sincere 【点睛】[高分句型1] Only when Ryan stepped into the light did Emma look up, her eyes wide with surprise and hope.（运用了倒装句） [高分句型2] As Emma picked up the melody again, Ryan’s voice joined hers— rich, steady, and full of the emotion they had once poured into every note together.（运用了as引导条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 福建省泉州市四校联盟高二期末考试 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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?

It is under the administration of Sabah Wildlife Department with the aim of returning orphaned, injured or displaced orangutans back into the wild. The centre is situated on the east coast of Sabah (Sandakan district) and covered over4, 294 hectares of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve. Feeding Generally, visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10: 00 am and 3: 00 pm feeding sessions at the platform. Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment. Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks. Unauthorized access to restricted areas is strictly prohibited. Entrance fee is applicable Adults Children $5.00(Malaysian) $30.00(Non-Malaysian) $2.00(Malaysian) $15.00 (Non-Malaysian) 1. Why might visitors fail to see the orangutans during feeding time? A. The orangutans are afraid of visitors’ noise. B. The orangutans don’t like food offered by SORC. C. The orangutans have found enough food in the wild. D. The orangutans are kept in their rooms due to the bad weather. 2. What are visitors prohibited from doing at the SORC? A. Taking photos. B. Touching the orangutans. C. Talking with each other. D. Walking along the designated pathways. 3. How much will a Malaysian teacher with an American pupil pay to enter the centre? A. $7.00. B. $20.00. C. $32.00. D. $45.00. B Today, I witnessed something silently powerful — a moving example of courage and inner strength. It was not loud or dramatic, but it left a deep impression on me. In a world where people often feel helpless when facing difficulties, this woman showed me that strength doesn’t always appear in big ways. Sometimes, it’s found in simple actions and daily choices. She lived in a remote village, far from the noise of the city. Life was not easy for her. Years ago, she lost her only son — a loss that left a deep pain in her heart. Not long after, her husband passed away too, leaving her to face the world on her own. To make things harder, she didn’t have a driver’s license and lived far from the nearest store, more than twenty kilometers away. With no public transport and no one to drive her, daily life became full of small but real challenges. She didn’t give in, though. Instead of waiting for help, she found her own solution. She bought a simple scooter (小型摩托车) — one that doesn’t require a license — and learned to ride it herself. Now, whenever she needs to go into town, she sets out alone, riding through fields and hills. For others, it might seem like an ordinary trip, but for her, it is a sign of her will and independence. Every time she arrives at the store, it’s more than just a success — it’s proof that she still has control over her life. Knowing her experience made me think deeply. Her courage doesn’t come from big words, but from the way she faces each day. In difficult times, she chooses to move forward rather than give up. Her story reminds us that true strength often shows in quiet ways — and that even in the hardest moments, we are stronger than we think. 4. What challenge did the woman face in daily life? A. Lacking even basic living skills. B. Having no access to daily necessities. C. Being unable to get a driver’s license. D. Having difficulty with transport. 5. What do we know about the woman from paragraph 3? A. She independently learned to ride a scooter. B. She used a scooter to deliver goods to the store. C. She waited for the help from others. D. She moved much closer to town. 6. Which of the following best describes the woman’s action according to the author? A. Ordinary. B. Demanding. C. Temporary. D. Inspiring. 7. What does the woman’s story mainly teach us? A. Small actions can show great strength. B. Rural life requires more flexibility. C. Social support is vital for survival. D. Technology simplifies daily challenges. C Award-winning The Atlantic staff writes Zoe Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of popular science — The Light Eaters that explores the hidden world of the plant kingdom and reveals the astonishing capabilities of the green life all around us. It takes great biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and grow well while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted clever methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their relatives and behave socially, hear sounds, change to shape their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit, to name just a few remarkable talents. The Light Eaters is a deep dive into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency. consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than copy human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel (相似的) system. What is intelligent life if not a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the bill of its pollinator (传粉者), a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it? Zoe Schlanger takes us across the globe, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing organisms up close. What can we learn about life on Earth from the living things that grow well, adapt, consume, and accommodate at the same time? Examining the latest revelations in botanical research, Schlanger highlights the intellectual struggles among the researchers developing an entirely new view of their subject, offering a glimpse (一瞥) of a field in chaos as plant scientists debate the principles of ongoing discoveries and how they influence our understanding of what a plant is. We need plants to survive. But what do they need us for — if at all? Offering an eye opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants and our own place-in the natural world. 8. What does the bock The Light Eaters mainly focus on? A. The importance of plants. B. Plants’ surprising survival abilities. C. Animal-plant communication methods. D. The scientists’ challenges in the study of green life. 9. Why does the author mention “a pea seedling” in paragraph 3? A. To compare different kinds of plant social behavior. B. To clarify how plants copy human intelligence. C. To indicate the link between humans and plants. D. To prove plants have their own unique intelligence. 10. What can we learn about plant scientists regarding the discoveries from paragraph 4? A. They reach no agreement. B. They have unified conclusions. C. They ignore plants’ memories. D They struggle to redefine plant. 11. What does the author think of the book The Light Eaters? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in insights. C. It is hard and complex. D. It is highly debatable. D Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. Researchers divided workers into four categories: those who always work remotely; those with hybrid (混合的) arrangements (splitting time between home and office); those based in an office but free to work remotely; and those who must remain in an office at all times. The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office-only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. Despite higher engagement, fully remote workers reported more frequent stress: 45%said they often felt tense, compared to a lower proportion among office-based staff. Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%). Moreover, at least one-quarter of remote workers admitted to feelings of anger, loneliness, or sadness — emotions less commonly reported by those working entirely on-site. Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main reasons for these findings. First, remote workers miss the informal interactions — chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together — that foster a sense of connection and reduce stress. Second, working from home demands self-management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that companies must address the emotional needs of all employees, whether they work from home or in an office. While remote work can boost focus and flexibility, organizations should offer social support, clear guidelines for time management, and opportunities for in-person collaboration (合作). Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses ensure long-term success and a truly satisfied workforce. For example, companies might organize regular virtual coffee breaks, schedule occasional in-person gatherings. Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout. By combining structured support programs with flexible policies, businesses can create a work environment that fosters engagement, protects mental health, and sustains productivity. 12.

Since elementary school, they’d been a perfect duo (搭档) — Emma played the piano, and Ryan sang with a voice that attracted many people’s attention. Over the years, they’d performed at school events, birthday parties, and even significant ceremonies. Everyone called them “Seabrook Sound”, and they secretly dreamed of studying in a prestigious art institute in the city together. This year, the school was hosting a talent showcase. The winner would get a scholarship and a guaranteed spot at the school of their dreams. Emma and Ryan were determined to win. They decided to write an original song— one that combined Emma’s soft melodies with Ryan’s powerful vocals. It was a bold move, but they believed in their partnership. At first, things flowed naturally and lyrics came like waves on the shore. But as they got deeper into the process, cracks began to form. Emma wanted the song to be about quiet perseverance, something deep and poetic. Ryan, on the other hand, wanted a more upbeat song — catchy, loud, something that would get the audience clapping. “I don’t want to sound like a sad diary,” Ryan shouted one afternoon. “And I don’t want to play a terrible song,” Emma fired back. Their teamwork turned into silent standoffs (僵局). Ryan began skipping practice, choosing to record musical ideas on his own. Emma did the same, writing new versions of the song late into the night, her fingers dancing over the keys alone. Pride, frustration, and unspoken hurt grew between them like a wall. The day of the showcase arrived. The hall was filled with excitement, and students backstage were busy warming up or pacing nervously. Emma and Ryan barely spoke as they took their places at opposite ends of the dressing room. They had each prepared their own version of the song, determined to perform solo(独自地). 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。 Emma walked onto the stage alone, with her heart pounding. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Emma’s struggle, Ryan stood up and walked toward the stage without hesitation. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
