In 1969, geochemist Lois M. Jones led the first all-female research team from the US to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied chemical weathering (风化作用) in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected, Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-covered lakes. Mount Fiennes 8,202-foot-high Mount Fiennes, located on Antarctica’s largest island — Alexander Island — is named for Ginny Fiennes. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio tower in the Antarctic. In 1985, Fiennes became the first female invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region. Francis Peak The 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis, who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar research institute of the UK. Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does. Peden Cliffs Peden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic, where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets. 1. What did Lois M. Jones and her team discover? A. Geochemical characteristics of ice-covered lakes. B. A new kind of rock in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. C. The cause of chemical weathering in Antarctica. D. The location of an ice-free area in Victoria Land. 2. Which place was named after the first female director of a polar research institute? A. Jones Terrace. B. Mount Fiennes. C. Francis Peak. D. Peden Cliffs. 3. What was Irene Peden’s primary method of studying Antarctica’s ice sheets? A. Using chemical weathering experiments. B. Employing radio wave technology. C. Collecting and analyzing plant fossils. D. Building and maintaining tall radio towers. B Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions to solve our environmental problems. His past projects include “Bioluminescent (生物发光) Trees” to light streets, a “Smog-Free Tower” to clean Beijing’s polluted air and “Gates of Light”, which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem — space junk(垃圾)! Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 pieces of large rubbish. To deal with the problem, Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with possible solutions. The plan, called the Space Wast e Lab, started in October 2018 with a laser (激光) show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor art work of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at heights of 200 to 20,000 kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are. To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being considered is “Shooting Stars”, which attempts to reintroduce the rubbish to the atmosphere in a controlled way. Upon returning planet side, the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star. Not just about cleaning up space, Roosegaarde sees this as an opportunity to deal with another issue at the same time. “The Netherlands spends 70 million on fireworks every year,” says Roosegaarde. “There’s a lot of damage, they can be dangerous and there’s also a lot of pollution. Working with the scientific department at the European Space Agency, we have produced a new type of practical experience that both cleans up space and offers a new form of fireworks performance at large public events,” he adds. 4. What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde from paragraph 1? A. He is too eager to put forward good plans. B. He is devoted to environmental protection. C. He is fond of spending all of his time seeking art skills. D. He is unfamiliar with art reflected in environmental projects. 5. Why was a laser show held in October 2018? A. To confirm real-time information about space waste. B. To show the great beauty of LEDs to common people. C. To raise public awareness of the amount of space waste. D. To inspire people to consider the solution to space waste. 6. What does Roosegaarde think of the project “Shooting Stars”? A. It is too costly to carry out. B. It will cause more space waste. C It is not practical in the near future. D. It may be a substitute for fireworks. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. Turning Space Junk into Shooting Stars B. Reducing Fireworks Pollution C. Roosegaarde’s Past Projects D. Urgent Space Issues C It’s probably not surprising that a new study has linked added sugar consumption to an increased risk of heart disease, but a less expected discovery is that those who have an occasional sweet treat appear to be at a reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems. Eating a pastry, cake, or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a “zerosugar” diet, which might cause nutrient deficiencies and energy crashes, etc., according to the research team from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants, aged between 45 and 83, were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009, then tracked up to 2019. Sugar intake was grouped into three categories: sugary toppings (like honey), sweet treats (like pastries and sweets), and sweetened beverages (like fizzy drinks). Type of added sugar consumed was then cross-referenced (相互对照) against seven types of cardiovascular diseases, including strokes and heart attacks, with several other risk factors (such as smoking) accounted for. The associations varied between sugar type and heart disease type. Overall though, the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to a sweet treat every now and again. There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways in which we get our sugar: what other foods and drinks we have with the sugar, for example, as well as how regularly we include added sugar in our diet. “Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically provide less satiety than solid forms—they make you feel less full—potentially leading to over consumption,” says Janzi. “Context also matters—treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions, while sweetened beverages might be consumed more regularly.” Bear in mind that these findings imply relationships, rather than proving cause and effect. They also don’t factor in other health consequences—like damage to teeth for example—and need to be taken in context with what we already know about sugar. 8. How do researchers conduct the study? A. By consulting doctors. B. By doing experiments. C. By analyzing databases. D. By interviewing patients. 9. What does the underlined word “satiety” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Fullness. B. Sweetness. C. Anxiety. D. Confidence. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the finding? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Careful. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A To present a finding to the readers. B. To advocate for regular sugar consumption. C. To urge policymakers to ban sweet. D. To challenge existing scientific knowledge. D “Turn off, tune out and drop in.” That’s the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox (戒瘾) cafe who are paying for the benefit from leaving their phone s at the door. The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis (乐土) of calm and pause from the constant digital business of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments typed out 280 characters at a time. With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to exchange recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch. “People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe It didn’t exist already,” says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.” Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect. “People don’t just pay to get rid of their phones — they’re also paying to meet others,” says Kneppelhout. “We live in quite a world where we’re more connected online, but in the physical world, it’s hard to meet people.” He’s already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn’t it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn’t matter if we’re having a bad hair day, or don’t really like our outfit?” 12. What is the main purpose of the Offline Club? A. To sell coffee and snacks without digital impacts. B. To teach people how to use social media more effectively. C. To create phone-free zones for authentic in-person interactions. D. To offer cures for people suffering from severe stress and anxiety. 13. How did the cafe become more and more popular? A. By media’s advertising. B. By netizens’ commenting online. C. By employees’ handing out leaflets. D. By customers’ word-of-mouth promoting. 14. Why is Belinda mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the effect of the cafe. B To explain the cause of her anxiety. C. To stress the seriousness of her situation. D. To introduce the problem of modern people. 15. What is the benefit of a “switched-off society” according to Georgina Sturmer? A. It allows people to focus better on work tasks. B. It significantly reduces the cost of running a cafe. C. It avoids being constantly recorded and shared online. D. It guarantees that everyone will have a perfect hair day. 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。 Have you ever woken up at midnight with upsetting thoughts? Maybe you argued with your partner. Perhaps you are worrying about an interview. These are common in our life. ____16____ And thus we may lose sleep and have trouble concentrating. The following methods are helpful. Learn to practice mindful awareness.

An elderly man, his white walking stick tapping nervously, stumbled (绊倒) awkwardly. He had tripped where the yellow tactile (触觉的) paving — the special path for the blind — disappeared under a parked delivery truck! His walking stick missed the curb edge entirely. Lily’s heart jumped. “Careful!” she cried, rushing forward just as he started to fall. She grabbed his arm firmly, steadying him. “Oh! Thank you, young lady,” the man breathed, his voice shaky. “The path… it disappeared suddenly. So confusing.” Lily felt a wave of sadness. “It’s okay,” she said gently. “Where are you going? I’ll help you get there safely.” Holding his arm, she carefully guided Mr. Evans (as he introduced himself) past the truck, around several bikes chained to a lamppost right on the path, and over a pile of rubbish bags blocking the way. Each barrier made Lily angrier. How could people be so thoughtless? After safely delivering Mr. Evans to his apartment building ten minutes away, Lily walked back slowly. This time, she really looked. Her eyes scanned the familiar streets with new understanding. The yellow paths meant to guide people who couldn’t see were constantly occupied: scooters (踏板车) leaned casually, café tables and chairs spread across them, cars parked with wheels crushing the vital ridges. It wasn’t just one truck; it was everywhere! Worry knotted her stomach. Mr. Evans could have been seriously hurt. How many others faced this danger every single day? Someone needed to make people see the problem, to make them care. But how? Suddenly, an idea came into Lily’s mind like a bright firework! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 “I can paint on the yellow tactile paving to draw more attention!” Lily thought. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With so many people painting together, the dull, ignored paths took on a new look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 安康市2024—2025学年第二学期高二期末联考 英语试题 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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.

His past projects include “Bioluminescent (生物发光) Trees” to light streets, a “Smog-Free Tower” to clean Beijing’s polluted air and “Gates of Light”, which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem — space junk(垃圾)! Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 pieces of large rubbish. To deal with the problem, Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with possible solutions. The plan, called the Space Wast e Lab, started in October 2018 with a laser (激光) show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor art work of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at heights of 200 to 20,000 kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are. To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being considered is “Shooting Stars”, which attempts to reintroduce the rubbish to the atmosphere in a controlled way. Upon returning planet side, the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star. Not just about cleaning up space, Roosegaarde sees this as an opportunity to deal with another issue at the same time. “The Netherlands spends 70 million on fireworks every year,” says Roosegaarde. “There’s a lot of damage, they can be dangerous and there’s also a lot of pollution. Working with the scientific department at the European Space Agency, we have produced a new type of practical experience that both cleans up space and offers a new form of fireworks performance at large public events,” he adds. 4. What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde from paragraph 1? A. He is too eager to put forward good plans. B. He is devoted to environmental protection. C. He is fond of spending all of his time seeking art skills. D. He is unfamiliar with art reflected in environmental projects. 5. Why was a laser show held in October 2018? A. To confirm real-time information about space waste. B. To show the great beauty of LEDs to common people. C. To raise public awareness of the amount of space waste. D. To inspire people to consider the solution to space waste. 6. What does Roosegaarde think of the project “Shooting Stars”? A. It is too costly to carry out. B. It will cause more space waste. C. It is not practical in the near future. D. It may be a substitute for fireworks. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. Turning Space Junk into Shooting Stars B Reducing Fireworks Pollution C. Roosegaarde’s Past Projects D. Urgent Space Issues 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍荷兰设计师Daan Roosegaarde利用艺术方案解决太空垃圾等环境问题的相关举措。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions to solve our environmental problems. His past projects include “Bioluminescent (生物发光) Trees” to light streets, a “Smog-Free Tower” to clean Beijing’s polluted air and “Gates of Light”, which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem — space junk(垃圾)!(荷兰设计师Daan Roosegaarde花费了大量时间寻求以艺术手段来解决环境问题。他过去的项目包括用于街道照明的“生物发光树”、净化北京污染空气的“无霾塔”，以及利用过往车辆前灯照亮荷兰大型水坝——阿夫鲁戴克拦海大坝60个泄洪闸门的“光之门”。如今，他希望运用自己的专业技能来解决一个紧迫的全球性问题——太空垃圾！)”可知，Daan Roosegaarde花费大量时间寻求解决环境问题的艺术方案，过去有很多环保相关项目，现在又致力于解决太空垃圾问题，由此可推断他致力于环境保护。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The plan, called the Space Wast e Lab, started in October 2018 with a laser (激光) show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor art work of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at heights of 200 to 20,000 kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are.(这项名为“太空垃圾实验室”的计划于2018年10月在荷兰的一场激光秀中启动。这项独特的户外LED艺术作品利用实时追踪信息，指向漂浮在200至20000公里高空的太空垃圾。这次体验旨在让公众更多地了解太空垃圾的数量)”可知，2018年10月举办激光秀是为了提高公众对太空垃圾数量的认识。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being considered is “Shooting Stars”, which attempts to reintroduce the rubbish to the atmosphere in a controlled way.(为了找到解决方案，这位设计师一直在与专家们共同思考。正在考虑的项目之一是“流星计划”，该计划试图以一种可控的方式将这些太空垃圾重新引入大气层)”以及最后一段中的““The Netherlands spends 70 million on fireworks every year,” says Roosegaarde. “There’s a lot of damage, they can be dangerous and there’s also a lot of pollution. Working with the scientific department at the European Space Agency, we have produced a new type of practical experience that both cleans up space and offers a new form of fireworks performance at large public events,” he adds.(“荷兰每年在烟花上的花费达7000万（欧元），” Roosegaarde说，“烟花会造成大量损害，存在安全隐患，还会产生严重污染。”他补充道：“我们与欧洲航天局的科研部门合作，研发出了一种新型实用方案，既能清理太空垃圾，又能在大型公共活动中呈现一种新型烟花表演”)”可推知，Roosegaarde认为“流星”项目项目不仅清理了太空垃圾，还提供了一种新型的烟花表演形式，因此可能成为烟花的替代。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了荷兰设计师Daan Roosegaarde为解决太空垃圾问题所做的努力，其中提到“流星”项目旨在将太空垃圾以类似流星的方式在大气层中燃烧，同时还能替代烟花表演。因此，A选项“将太空垃圾变成流星”能很好地概括文章主要内容，为最佳标题。故选A项。 C It’s probably not surprising that a new study has linked added sugar consumption to an increased risk of heart disease, but a less expected discovery is that those who have an occasional sweet treat appear to be at a reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems. Eating a pastry, cake, or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a “zerosugar” diet, which might cause nutrient deficiencies and energy crashes, etc., according to the research team from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants, aged between 45 and 83, were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009, then tracked up to 2019. Sugar intake was grouped into three categories: sugary toppings (like honey), sweet treats (like pastries and sweets), and sweetened beverages (like fizzy drinks). Type of added sugar consumed was then cross-referenced (相互对照) against seven types of cardiovascular diseases, including strokes and heart attacks, with several other risk factors (such as smoking) accounted for. The associations varied between sugar type and heart disease type. Overall though, the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to a sweet treat every now and again. There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways in which we get our sugar: what other foods and drinks we have with the sugar, for example, as well as how regularly we include added sugar in our diet. “Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically provide less satiety than solid forms—they make you feel less full—potentially leading to over consumption,” says Janzi. “Context also matters—treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions, while sweetened beverages might be consumed more regularly.” Bear in mind that these findings imply relationships rather than proving cause and effect. They also don’t factor in other health consequences—like damage to teeth for example—and need to be taken in context with what we already know about sugar. 8. How do researchers conduct the study? A. By consulting doctors. B. By doing experiments. C. By analyzing databases. D. By interviewing patients. 9. What does the underlined word “satiety” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Fullness. B. Sweetness. C. Anxiety. D. Confidence. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the finding? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Careful. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To present a finding to the readers. B. To advocate for regular sugar consumption. C. To urge policymakers to ban sweet. D. To challenge existing scientific knowledge. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于添加糖摄入与心血管疾病风险关系的研究发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants, aged between 45 and 83, were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009, then tracked up to 2019.(研究人员查看了瑞典公共卫生数据库中69,705人的记录。这些参与者年龄在45岁至83岁之间，在1997年和2009年接受了关于饮食和生活方式的调查，随后跟踪至2019年)”可知，研究人员是通过分析数据库进行这项研究的。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically provide less satiety than solid forms—they make you feel less full—potentially leading to over consumption.(甜味饮料中的液态糖通常比固态糖提供的satiety更弱——它们让你感觉没那么饱——这可能会导致过度消费)”可知，“satiety”与“full”意思相近，指“饱腹感”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Bear in mind that these findings imply relationships, rather than proving cause and effect. They also don’t factor in other health consequences—like damage to teeth for example—and need to be taken in context with what we already know about sugar.(请记住，这些发现暗示的是相关性，而不是证明因果关系。它们也没有考虑到其他健康后果——比如对牙齿的损害——需要结合我们已经知道的关于糖的知识来理解)”可知，作者对这一发现的态度是谨慎的。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。第一段“It’s probably not surprising that a new study has linked added sugar consumption to an increased risk of heart disease, but a less expected discovery is that those who have an occasional sweet treat appear to be at a reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems.(一项新研究发现，摄入添加糖与心脏病风险增加有关，这或许并不令人意外，但一个较出人意料的发现是：偶尔吃点甜食的人，患心血管疾病的风险似乎会降低)直接引出了研究发现。接着第二段介绍了研究的过程，第三段说明了研究结果 “the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to a sweet treat every now and again.(在那些偶尔吃甜食的人身上发现了所有心血管疾病中最低的风险)”，第四段进一步分析了不同糖类对人体的影响等，最后一段虽然提到了研究的局限性，但也是围绕着这项研究发现展开说明。全文围绕关于添加糖摄入与心血管疾病关系的研究发现展开，因此目的是向读者呈现这一发现，故选A项。 D “Turn off, tune out and drop in.” That’s the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox (戒瘾) cafe who are paying for the benefit from leaving their phone s at the door. The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis (乐土) of calm and pause from the constant digital business of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments typed out 280 characters at a time. With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to exchange recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch. “People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe It didn’t exist already,” says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.” Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect. “People don’t just pay to get rid of their phones — they’re also paying to meet others,” says Kneppelhout. “We live in quite a world where we’re more connected online, but in the physical world, it’s hard to meet people.” He’s already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn’t it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn’t matter if we’re having a bad hair day, or don’t really like our outfit?” 12. What is the main purpose of the Offline Club? A. To sell coffee and snacks without digital impacts. B. To teach people how to use social media more effectively. C. To create phone-free zones for authentic in-person interactions. D. To offer cures for people suffering from severe stress and anxiety. 13. How did the cafe become more and more popular? A. By media’s advertising. B. By netizens’ commenting online. C. By employees’ handing out leaflets. D. By customers’ word-of-mouth promoting. 14. Why is Belinda mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the effect of the cafe. B. To explain the cause of her anxiety. C. To stress the seriousness of her situation. D. To introduce the problem of modern people. 15. What is the benefit of a “switched-off society” according to Georgina Sturmer? A. It allows people to focus better on work tasks. B. It significantly reduces the cost of running a cafe. C. It avoids being constantly recorded and shared online. D. It guarantees that everyone will have a perfect hair day. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了荷兰一家名为“Offline Club”的数字戒瘾咖啡馆，它通过提供一个无手机的环境，鼓励人们进行真实的面对面交流。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis ( 乐土 ) of calm and pause from the constant digital business of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments typed out 280 characters at a time.(这家起源于阿姆斯特丹的“Offline Club”，为人们提供了一片宁静的乐土，让人们能从智能手机那黑玻璃屏幕所承载的无休止的数字生活忙碌中稍作停歇。它创造了安静沉思的时刻，鼓励人们与陌生人交流，而非进行一段段280个字符的无休止键盘争论)”可知，Offline Club的主要目的是创造无手机区域，鼓励真实的面对面交流。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch.(在社交媒体上传播的口碑的帮助下，该俱乐部已经扩展到荷兰的多个城市，现在准备进行国际推广)”及第三段““People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe It didn’t exist already,” says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.”(“人们很喜欢这里：他们告诉我们，这正是他们一直期待的地方；他们不敢相信这样的地方竟然才出现。” 联合创始人伊利亚・克内佩尔豪特说，“一个叫贝琳达的女孩深受压力和焦虑困扰，她告诉我们，这是她一年半以来第一次感到如此平静”)”可知，这家咖啡馆是通过网民在网上评论而变得越来越受欢迎的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.(一个名叫贝琳达的女孩一直在与压力和焦虑作斗争，她告诉我们，她已经有一年半没有像现在这样感到内心平静了)”可知，第三段提到Belinda是为了展示咖啡馆对缓解压力和焦虑的效果。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn’t it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn’t matter if we’re having a bad hair day, or don’t really like our outfit?”(Georgina Sturmer曾与过度依赖手机的客户合作，她指出了关闭手机社会的另一个好处。她说：“我们随时都面临着每一句话、每一个画面被捕捉并分享的风险。这种被无休止地拍照的感觉是这些设备充斥我们的生活所带来的。如果我们知道自己今天发型不好看，或者不太喜欢自己的衣服，但仍然感到安全，那岂不是很好？”)”可知，Georgina Sturmer认为关闭手机社会的好处是可以避免被不断记录和分享到网上。故选C。 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。 Have you ever woken up at midnight with upsetting thoughts?

Constructing one requires meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations. First, ____38____ usually begins with selecting the right wood. Such wood as teak and camphor ____39____ (prefer) because of their durability and resistance to water. After that, skilled artisans shape the keel and ribs, which form the skeleton (骨架). These components are carefully joined using wooden pegs instead of nails to ensure flexibility. The boards, ____40____ are steamed to make them flexible, are then bent and fixed to the frame. This process demands extreme precision; even a minor mistake could affect the boat’s balance and speed. Once the boat takes shape, craftsmen seal every seam (缝隙) with water-resistant tung oil mixed with lime. This ancient waterproofing technique, ____41____ (date) back to the Song Dynasty, prevents leakage while allowing the wood ____42____ (breathe). The most striking feature, the fancy carved dragon head and tail, is attached last. Each piece is painted in brilliant colors symbolizing power and good fortune.

The entire ____44____ (construct) might take up to three months, reflecting the artisans’ devotion. Today, this cultural heritage is recognized as an intangible treasure, preserving ancient skills in a _____45_____ (rapid) changing world. 【答案】36. an 37. represents 38. it 39. is preferred 40. which 41. dating 42. to breathe 43. lighter 44. construction 45. rapidly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统的龙舟制作过程和工艺。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：传统的中国龙舟，一种用于赛龙舟节日的标志性船只，已有两千多年历史，它代表了艺术性与工程技艺。boat为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一种标志性的船”，且iconic是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：传统的中国龙舟，一种用于赛龙舟节日的标志性船只，已有两千多年历史，它代表了艺术性与工程技艺。此处描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语The traditional Chinese dragon boat是单数，所以谓语动词用represents。故填represents。 【38题详解】 考查代词。句意：首先，通常从选择合适的木材开始。此处指代建造龙舟这件事，用it指代。故填it。 【39题详解】 考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意：柚木和樟木等木材因其耐用性和防水性而受到青睐。句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语Such wood as teak and camphor是不可数名词，与prefer之间是被动关系，即“木材被青睐”，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”，主语是单数，所以用is preferred。故填is preferred。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这些木板经过蒸煮变得柔韧，然后弯曲并固定在框架上。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是The boards，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which。故填which。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种古老的防水技术，可追溯到宋朝，既能防止漏水，又能让木材透气。分析句子结构可知，句子已有谓语prevents，date需用非谓语形式。date与逻辑主语This ancient waterproofing technique之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词dating作后置定语，date back to意为“追溯到”。故填dating。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种古老的防水技术，可追溯到宋朝，既能防止漏水，又能让木材透气。allow sb./sth. to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“允许某人/某物做某事”，所以用动词不定式to breathe。故填to breathe。 【43题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：有趣的是，由于先进的木材处理技术，现代龙舟比历史上的龙舟更轻，但传统方法仍然占主导地位。根据than可知，此处应用形容词比较级lighter，意为“更轻的”。故填lighter。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：整个建造过程可能需要长达三个月的时间，这反映了工匠们的奉献精神。根据空前的形容词entire可知，此处应用名词形式construction，意为“建造，建设”，不可数，作主语。故填construction。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：如今，这一文化遗产被视为一种无形的珍宝，在快速变化的世界中保留了古老的技艺。此处修饰形容词changing，应用副词rapidly，意为“快速地”。故填rapidly。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，校英文报正在就“中学生是否应该抽盲盒(blind box)”这一问题进行征稿，请你写一篇短文投稿，说明你对此现象看法。内容包括： 1.说明现象; 2.个人观点。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右; 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Nowadays, blind box toys are popular among high school students.

An elderly man, his white walking stick tapping nervously, stumbled (绊倒) awkwardly. He had tripped where the yellow tactile (触觉的) paving — the special path for the blind — disappeared under a parked delivery truck! His walking stick missed the curb edge entirely. Lily’s heart jumped. “Careful!” she cried, rushing forward just as he started to fall. She grabbed his arm firmly, steadying him. “Oh! Thank you, young lady,” the man breathed, his voice shaky. “The path… it disappeared suddenly. So confusing.” Lily felt a wave of sadness. “It’s okay,” she said gently. “Where are you going? I’ll help you get there safely.” Holding his arm, she carefully guided Mr. Evans (as he introduced himself) past the truck, around several bikes chained to a lamppost right on the path, and over a pile of rubbish bags blocking the way. Each barrier made Lily angrier. How could people be so thoughtless? After safely delivering Mr. Evans to his apartment building ten minutes away, Lily walked back slowly. This time, she really looked. Her eyes scanned the familiar streets with new understanding. The yellow paths meant to guide people who couldn’t see were constantly occupied: scooters (踏板车) leaned casually, café tables and chairs spread across them, cars parked with wheels crushing the vital ridges. It wasn’t just one truck; it was everywhere! Worry knotted her stomach. Mr. Evans could have been seriously hurt. How many others faced this danger every single day? Someone needed to make people see the problem, to make them care. But how? Suddenly, an idea came into Lily’s mind like a bright firework! 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。 “I can paint on the yellow tactile paving to draw more attention!” Lily thought. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With so many people painting together, the dull, ignored paths took on a new look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “I can paint on the yellow tactile paving to draw more attention!” Lily thought. She rushed home, grabbed her acrylic paints and stencils, and returned to the disrupted path. With careful strokes, she outlined bright red arrows around the obstacles and painted bold yellow stripes to reconnect the broken tactile paving. A café owner, curious, brought her a ladder to reach higher spots. Soon, a delivery rider paused to help mix colors, while a group of schoolkids stenciled “BLIND PATH — KEEP CLEAR!” in giant blue letters. With so many people painting together, the dull, ignored paths took on a new look. The next morning, Mr. Evans tapped his cane along the repainted route — no longer hesitating at missing ridges. At the crosswalk, a newly added braille plaque read: “Safe path ahead. Thank you, Lily & friends.” Neighbors now moved bikes and trash bins without being asked. Lily watched in joy as a young mother knelt to explain the paintings to her child: “These colors help people who can’t see walk safely.” The streets hadn’t just changed visually — they’d learned to care. 【解析】 【导语】本文以盲道改造为线索展开，讲述了Lily发现盲人Evans先生因被占用的盲道绊倒，决心解决问题。她用彩漆在盲道上绘制醒目标记和警示语，吸引路人加入。改造后的盲道变得清晰安全，Evans先生得以安全行走，社区也开始主动维护。通过这次行动，Lily不仅修复了道路，更唤醒了人们对视障群体需求的关注。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我可以在黄色的触觉路面上画画，以吸引更多的注意力！’Lily想”可知，第一段可描写Lily拿来绘画工具改造路面，并吸引路人一起加入改造。 ②由第二段首句内容“有这么多人一起画画，那些沉闷、被忽视的小路呈现出了新的面貌”可知，第二段可描写Evans先生能够在盲道上安全行走，路人们也开始主动维护盲道的通行，社区的人们开始懂得关注视障群体需求。 2. 续写线索：Lily想到主意——Lily画画改造——路人被吸引加入——小路呈现新面貌——Evans先生安全行走——社区的积极转变 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲，奔：rush/run/dash ②抓住：grab/clutch/grasp ③返回：return/go back ④解释：explain/clarify 情绪类 ①好奇的：curious/inquisitive ②开心：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lily watched in joy as a young mother knelt to explain the paintings to her child: “These colors help people who can’t see walk safely.”  (as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] These colors help people who can’t see walk safely.
