石嘴山市第一中学24-25学年高二下期末考试 英语试题 一、阅读理解 A Looking to get started in housesitting? Read on to choose the best housesitting platform for your needs. Trusted Housesitters Trusted Housesitters stands out as the largest house-sitting platform, offering an impressive number of house-sitting opportunities globally. The platform’s focus on pet care sets it apart from just housesitting, allowing sitters to enjoy free stays while taking care of pets. The platform offers multiple membership options, satisfying various needs. These comprehensive services are more expensive than those offered by other platforms. House Carers House Carers has been around since 2000, making it one of the oldest housesitting websites. The platform connects homeowners with sitters seeking cost-effective solutions. It’s a reliable platform with plenty of listings in Australia, the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This site is user-friendly, with a range of membership plans, making it great for those without a significant financial commitment. Nomador Nomador is great for those looking to explore housesitting opportunities around the world. Its unique “Stopover” characteristic allows homeowners to offer free accommodation to sitters between assignments usually in a guest bedroom while the homeowner is present — perfect for an overnight stay or a road trip.

Pawshake Pawshake is a pay-per-use platform, so as a pet sitter, you can list your services and costs. You’ll get paid to pet sit in this case, but the opportunities are fewer than other platforms.

He has been allowed to speak with reporters from his hospital bed, but he can’t stand up on his own because of a broken ankle. Speaking to reporters, he admitted the accident shocked everyone. “People didn’t think that this kind of thing would happen to an experienced skier” he said. He said that the weather had been good all week, and there hadn’t been any warnings about possible avalanches. The problem was that Charles had gone out in an unprepared ski area, He explained. “It is true that there hadn’t been any avalanche warnings, but the fact is that I put other people in danger by leading my group to that area. I shouldn’t have done that,” he admitted regretfully. Recalling the terrifying moment, he continued, while waiting for his group, he heard a loud noise and saw a wall of snow racing towards him. Charles had no time to react. Within seconds, he was blinded, everything turned white, and then there was silence. As time passed, Charles started to panic, fearing he wouldn’t be able to breathe. After what seemed like hours, he heard barking and realized that the specially trained mountain rescue dogs had found him using their incredible sense of smell. Once freed, his biggest concern was that there were still other people buried under the snow. Luckily, no others were caught. Incredibly grateful to the dogs and the rescue team, he promised to thank them in person as soon as he was well enough to leave the hospital and he agreed that he was a very lucky man. Charles went on to stress that the frequency of avalanches has increased in recent years, “The point is that we all need to be careful, even if we are experienced skiers.” 4. Why did the accident shock everyone? A. The skiing resort had zero accidents in the past. B. The accident occurred in a completely safe region. C. Experienced skiers were rarely stuck in such situations. D. Charles Smith ignored safety warnings of the accident. 5. What was the main reason for the avalanche accident? A. The weather’s sudden change. B. The delayed arrival of rescue dogs. C. The lack of avalanche warnings. D. Charles’ leading his group to an unprepared ski area. 6. What was key to Charles’s rescue? A. Charles’s self-rescue skills. B. His group’s immediate arrival. C. Charles’s ability to react quickly. D. The rescue dogs’ incredible sense of smell. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Once bitten, twice shy. B. Look before you leap. C. Be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. D. In time of danger, one’s mind works fast. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了经验丰富的滑雪教练查尔斯・史密斯在一次雪崩中被埋一小时后获救的经历。他向记者讲述了事故发生的原因、过程，以及对救援人员的感激，并强调即使是有经验的滑雪者也需谨慎。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Speaking to reporters, he admitted the accident shocked everyone. “People didn’t think that this kind of thing would happen to an experienced skier” he said. (他对记者说，他承认这起事故震惊了所有人。他说：“人们没想到这种事会发生在有经验的滑雪者身上。”)”可知，事故震惊了所有人是因为有经验的滑雪者很少会陷入这样的境地。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The problem was that Charles had gone out in an unprepared ski area, He explained. “It is true that there hadn’t been any avalanche warnings, but the fact is that I put other people in danger by leading my group to that area. I shouldn’t have done that,” he admitted regretfully. (问题是查尔斯去了一个没有准备好的滑雪区，他解释说。“确实没有任何雪崩预警，但事实是，我把其他人置于危险之中，因为我把我的团队带到了那个地区。我不应该那么做的，”他遗憾地承认)”可知，雪崩事故的主要原因是查尔斯带领他的团队进入了一个没有准备好的滑雪区。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After what seemed like hours, he heard barking and realized that the specially trained mountain rescue dogs had found him using their incredible sense of smell. (似乎过了几个小时，他听到了狗叫声，意识到经过特殊训练山地救援犬用它们不可思议的嗅觉找到了他)”可知，查尔斯获救的关键是救援犬惊人的嗅觉。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Charles went on to stress that the frequency of avalanches has increased in recent years, “The point is that we all need to be careful, even if we are experienced skiers.” (查尔斯接着强调，近年来雪崩的频率有所增加，“关键是我们都需要小心，即使我们是经验丰富的滑雪者。”)”可知，作者想传达的是无论做什么都要谨慎，即“三思而后行”。故选B项。 C To mark its 130th anniversary this year, the National Trust has announced plans to create around 2,500 square kilometres of “nature-rich” landscapes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The National Trust is a charity that preserves nature and buildings. The organisation has set a target of 2035 for creating these natural areas. It’s an ambitious goal: in the past 10 years the Trust has done similar work, but only for around 250 square kilometres. If joined together, the landscapes it plans to create would cover an area bigger than the Lake District National Park. The charity’s focus will be restoring peatland (watery habitats containing a soil-like material called peat) and improving the quality of rivers. It aims to improve the health of enough soil to provide homes for one billion earthworms. The National Trust also aims to reconnect natural areas that have been broken into separate bits, such as a road cutting a forest in half. Known as habitat fragmentation, this is often caused by humans and harms animals by making it hard for them to feed and raise families. The new landscapes will help tackle climate change by protecting plants and peat. These both absorb carbon dioxide from the air. This is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and climate change. The plans are aimed at land already owned by the National Trust, as well as nearby areas and land that it plans to buy. Examples include linking an area of disused farmland in Merseyside, England, to a nearby area of forest. There are also plans to link two areas of protected land that are 10 miles apart in England’s Shropshire Hills. This should help breeding curlews. The charity aims to work with farmers and landowners to help them boost nature on their land. “We will ramp up our work to restore nature, both on our own land and beyond our boundaries,” said Hilary McGrady, director-general of the National Trust. 8. What does the National Trust aim to do for the next ten years? A. Protect all forests in the U.K. B. Increase the natural areas by tenfold. C. Enlarge the peatland by 10%. D. Expand Lake District National Park. 9. What harm does “habitat fragmentation” do? A. Separating natural areas into small parts. B. Threatening the survival of animals. C. Restricting human’s regular movement. D. Transforming forests into farmland. 10. What will the Trust do to create new landscapes? A. Connect smaller areas of land. B. Replant crops on disused farmland. C. Till the land in mountain areas. D. Link the roads that cut the forests. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The history of the National Trust. B. The benefits of natural landscapes. C. The Trust’s efforts to cut emissions. D. The Trust’s plans to restore nature. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了庆祝今年成立130周年，英国国民托管组织宣布计划在英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰创造约2500平方公里的“自然丰富”景观，通过大规模生态修复应对气候与生物多样性危机的十年计划。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“To mark its 130th anniversary this year, the National Trust has announced plans to create around 2,500 square kilometres of “nature-rich” landscapes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.( 为了庆祝今年成立130周年，英国国民托管组织宣布计划在英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰创造约2500平方公里的“自然丰富”景观)”以及第二段中“The organisation has set a target of 2035 for creating these natural areas. It’s an ambitious goal: in the past 10 years the Trust has done similar work, but only for around 250 square kilometres.( 该组织设定了到2035年创造这些自然区域的目标。这是一个雄心勃勃的目标：在过去的10年里，信托基金做了类似的工作，但只有大约250平方公里)”可推知，国民信托未来十年的目标是将自然区域增加十倍。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Known as habitat fragmentation, this is often caused by humans and harms animals by making it hard for them to feed and raise families.( 这被称为栖息地破碎化，通常是由人类造成的，并且通过使动物难以养活和抚养家庭来伤害动物)”可知，栖息地碎片化对动物造成伤害，使它们难以觅食和养育后代，也就是威胁动物的生存。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Examples include linking an area of disused farmland in Merseyside, England, to a nearby area of forest. There are also plans to link two areas of protected land that are 10 miles apart in England’s Shropshire Hills.(例如，将英格兰默西塞德郡的一片废弃农田与附近的一片森林连接起来。此外，还计划将英格兰什罗普郡山（Shropshire Hills）相隔10英里的两个保护区连接起来)”可知，这些例子表明国民托管组织将连接较小的土地区域来创造新景观。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇就指出国民托管组织为庆祝成立130周年宣布创建自然景观的计划，后面围绕该计划的目标（如增加自然区域、连接破碎自然区域等）、对生态环境的作用（如应对气候变化、改善土壤等）以及实施方式（与农民和土地所有者合作等）展开，所以文章主要是关于该组织恢复自然的计划。故选D项。 D In an era when the average person checks their smartphone nearly 144 times a day, devoting oneself to a lengthy novel or complex piece of literature has become uncommon. The digital revolution(革命), while bringing easy access to information, has degraded our capacity for deep reading. Deep reading is more than just processing words on a page. It’s an experience that involves critical thinking, empathy, and knowledge exploration. This form of reading allows individuals to engage with complex ideas and connect emotionally with texts. Historically, deep reading has been instrumental in education and personal development, cultivating a person capable of critical thought and innovation. In a digital age, the way we consume information has dramatically changed. For instance, social media platforms are designed to catch our attention through endless browsing and bite-sized content. This design can weaken our patience for longer, more demanding texts. A study from Microsoft Corp. suggested that the human attention span has decreased from 12 seconds in 2000 to about 8 seconds today, highlighting how digital media affects our ability to concentrate. In the digital landscape, attention has become what companies compete for, often employing strategies that disturb our attention span. Notices, advertisements, and big data-based content make it difficult for readers to find the uninterrupted time necessary for deep reading. Our brains are remarkably adaptable, and the way we process information can change with our habits. Neuroscientists(神经系统科学家)have found that regular internet use can rewire neural pathways, favoring quick decision-making and surface processing over deep thinking. The Internet encourages rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information from many sources—a mode of thinking that is contrary to deep reading. The decline in deep reading doesn’t just affect individual cognition (认知). It has broader societal consequences. In education, students used to surface-level reading may struggle with texts that require analysis and critical thinking. This trend can lead to a workforce less prepared for jobs that demand deep understanding and problem-solving skills. 12. Why does deep reading matter according to paragraph 2? A. It enhances reflective ability. B. It simplifies knowledge exploration. C. It accelerates information processing. D. It encourages social media engagement. 13. Why do companies apply data-driven business strategies? A. To boost educational content. B. To create better reading environments. C. To encourage uninterrupted reading sessions. D. To compete for attention in the digital landscape. 14. What problem arises from declining deep reading? A. Reduction in social cognition. B. Overuse of digital texts. C. Difficulty in critical analysis. D. Shortage of learning resources. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Deep Reading: A Lost Art in the Digital Age. B. The Forgotten Skill: Deep Reading in Education. C. Digital Revolution: Changing the Way We Learn. D. Information Revolution: Simplifying Knowledge. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍数字时代深度阅读减少的现象、原因及其带来的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Deep reading is more than just processing words on a page. It’s an experience that involves critical thinking, empathy, and knowledge exploration. This form of reading allows individuals to engage with complex ideas and connect emotionally with texts. Historically, deep reading has been instrumental in education and personal development, cultivating a person capable of critical thought and innovation.(深度阅读不仅仅是处理页面上的文字。这是一种涉及批判性思维、同理心和知识探索的体验。这种阅读形式使个人能够接触复杂的思想，并与文本建立情感联系。从历史上看，深度阅读在教育和个人发展中发挥了重要作用，培养了一个具有批判性思维和创新能力的人。)”可知，深度阅读有助于培养批判性思维等能力，即增强反思能力。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the digital landscape, attention has become what companies compete for, often employing strategies that disturb our attention span. Notices, advertisements, and big data-based content make it difficult for readers to find the uninterrupted time necessary for deep reading.(在数字领域，注意力已成为企业竞争的对象，它们经常采用干扰我们注意力持续时间的策略。通知、广告和基于大数据的内容使读者很难找到深度阅读所需的不间断时间。)”可知，企业采用数据驱动的策略是为了在数字领域争夺注意力。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In education, students used to surface-level reading may struggle with texts that require analysis and critical thinking. This trend can lead to a workforce less prepared for jobs that demand deep understanding and problem-solving skills.(在教育领域，习惯于表层阅读的学生可能会在需要分析和批判性思维的文本上遇到困难。这种趋势可能会导致劳动力对需要深刻理解和解决问题能力的工作准备不足。)”可知，深度阅读减少会导致学生在批判性分析方面遇到困难。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In an era when the average person checks their smartphone nearly 144 times a day, devoting oneself to a lengthy novel or complex piece of literature has become uncommon. The digital revolution, while bringing easy access to information, has degraded our capacity for deep reading.(在一个普通人每天查看智能手机近144次的时代，全身心投入一本长篇小说或复杂的文学作品已变得不常见。数字革命在带来信息便捷获取的同时，也降低了我们深度阅读的能力。)”、第三段中的“In a digital age, the way we consume information has dramatically changed... highlighting how digital media affects our ability to concentrate.(在数字时代，我们获取信息的方式发生了巨大变化……凸显了数字媒体如何影响我们的专注力。)”以及最后一段对深度阅读减少带来的社会影响的阐述可知，文章围绕数字时代深度阅读逐渐减少这一核心，强调深度阅读在该时代逐渐成为一种“失落的艺术”。因此，最适合的标题为“Deep Reading: A Lost Art in the Digital Age”。故选A项。 阅读下列短文，从给出的7个选项中选出5个最佳选项。 On social media platforms, we can easily express our opinions without considering possible consequences. ____16____.

Engaging in constructive conversations is another crucial aspect of social media manners. The digital world is where you can learn, grow and broaden your horizons.

(在社交媒体平台上，我们能够轻易地表达自己的观点，而无需考虑可能产生的后果。)”与后文“So try mastering the art of social media manners with our guide on responsible posting. (所以，请通过我们关于负责任发布内容的指南来掌握社交媒体礼仪的技巧吧。)”可知，前文提到“在社交媒体上可以轻易表达观点而不考虑后果”，空格后建议“掌握社交媒体礼仪”，此处需转折，指出这种随意发帖的危害，故F选项“但这种随意的发布行为可能会造成危害。”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“In social media, the principle “Think Before You Post” serves as a vital reminder of our responsibility. Before hitting that “post” button, take a moment to reflect on what you say. (在社交媒体上，“先思考再发布”这一原则对于提醒我们承担相应责任具有重要作用。在点击“发布”按钮之前，先花点时间思考一下自己要说什么。)”以及后文“A seemingly harmless joke might hurt someone with a different sense of humor. (看似无害的玩笑话可能会伤害到那些有着不同幽默感的人。)”可知，本段围绕“发帖前思考”展开，空格前提到“反思自己说的话”，空格后举例“看似无害的玩笑可能伤人”，本句是具体的反思问题，故E选项“它是否可能被误解或被断章取义？”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Understanding your audience is also key. Imagine being at a party. Would you discuss the same topics with your grandmother as with your classmates? Probably not.

If you encounter someone’s sensitive information, it’s your responsibility to maintain secrecy, whether it’s a video from a closed-door party, or even something as simple as labelling them in a post. (仅仅因为某事物对你来说是可获取的，并不意味着它就是供公众使用的。如果你获取到了他人的敏感信息，那么无论这是来自一个秘密聚会的视频，还是仅仅是像在帖子中标注他们的名字这样简单的事情，你都有责任保守秘密。)”可知，本段核心是“保护他人隐私”，空格后举例“不公开敏感信息、不随意标记他人”，故C选项“要确保不泄露他人的隐私”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Avoid personal attacks. (避免人身攻击)”以及后文“Express your thoughts in a respectful and constructive manner.

Mommy!” Lily called out, skipping into the kitchen with her pigtails (马尾辫) bouncing and a flush of excitement reddening her cheeks. “Guess what! Mr. Carter, my teacher, started a ‘Kindness Garden’ on the bullet in board. Every time someone does something kind or helpful, they get to add a flower with their name on it!” “That sounds wonderful,” Mommy said, wiping her hands on a towel. “Did you do something kind today?” Lily’s smile faded slightly. “No, but Emma did. She helped clean up the art supplies after class. I really wish I could do something kind tomorrow!” The next day at school, Jake earned a flower for sharing his crayons, and Sophia got one for comforting a classmate who was upset. But Lily didn’t receive a flower. The following morning didn’t start well either. Lily accidentally knocked over her juice at breakfast, and it spilled all over the table. “I’ll never get a flower like this,” she thought with a sigh. Later that afternoon, Mr. Carter handed back the science quizzes (测验) from the day before. “Class, only one person got every question right. Great job, Lily! Come and pick out a flower for the Kindness Garden.” Lily’s heart leapt. “Yay!” she cheered, beaming (眉开眼笑) as she taped her flower onto the board. After school, she raced home, holding her quiz tightly in her hand. “Mommy! Mommy! Look what I got!” she shouted excitedly, waving the paper proudly. Mommy also felt happy and praised her. That night, as Lily stared at her perfect score again, her eyes suddenly caught a tiny mistake. One of her answers was wrong, but Mr. Carter had marked it correct. Her heart flinched with guilt and confusion. “Oh no… Mommy, look! I didn’t actually get everything right!” Mommy sat beside her and said gently, “Well, sweetheart, it seems you have a choice to make.” “But I don’t want to lose my flower!” Lily whispered, her lower lip trembling. “You know what’s right, Lily,” Mommy said, hugging her. “And I believe you’ll choose wisely.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Lily dragged her feet to school, her heart heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, Mr. Carter announced it to the class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, Lily dragged her feet to school, her heart heavy. She remembered those names in the Kindness Garden, and how much she wished that her name would remain there, but Mommy’s words echoed in her mind. When she arrived, she stared at her flower on the board for a long time. Then, she resolutely and determinedly reached up and took it down, walked to Mr. Carter’s desk, and pointed out the mistake. Mr. Carter’s eyes widened, then softened with pride. He praised her honesty and courage and immediately made a special decision. At the end of the day, Mr. Carter announced it to the class. “Boys and girls, Lily has earned a special golden flower today.” All the classmates felt very surprised and asked why. “Because she did something even more important than a perfect score. She found a mistake I missed on her science quiz. Instead of keeping it hidden, she chose to be honest. That’s true kindness to others and herself — and it deserves the highest recognition!” The class erupted in cheers, and Lily’s heart swelled with warmth. As she smiled, she heard Mommy’s voice in her mind again: “You’ll choose wisely.” And she had. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述小女孩莉莉所在班级开展“爱心花园” 活动，每次有人做了善事就能在花园里添加一朵写有自己名字的花。莉莉起初没因做好事得到花，后来因科学测验全对获得一朵花。但她发现测验中有个答案老师判错，自己实际并非全对，妈妈让她自己做选择。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，莉莉拖着沉重的脚步去上学，心情十分沉重。”可知，第一段可描写第二天去学校的纠结心情及最终行动。她内心纠结，既想保留花，又记着妈妈的话，最终还是决定取下花向老师承认错误，突出她内心的挣扎与最终的正确抉择。 ②由第二段首句内容“在那天快结束时，卡特先生向全班宣布了这件事。”可知，第二段可描写老师在全班宣布的事情。老师宣布莉莉因诚实获得特别的金色花，并向同学们解释原因，同学们欢呼，莉莉内心温暖，体现诚实得到认可，呼应前文妈妈说的话，强调正确选择带来的积极结果。 2续写线索：去学校心情沉重——内心纠结最终取下花向老师认错——老师宣布莉莉因诚实获特别花并解释原因——同学们欢呼莉莉内心温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①取下：take down/remove ②选择：choose/select ③指出：point out/indicate 情绪类： ①温暖：warmth/coziness ②惊讶：surprised/astonished/amazed 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She found a mistake I missed on her science quiz.（运用了省略了关系代词that/which的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型 2】As she smiled, she heard Mommy’s voice in her mind again: “You’ll choose wisely.”.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 石嘴山市第一中学24-25学年高二下期末考试 英语试题 一、阅读理解 A Looking to get started in housesitting?

B Charles Smith, an experienced ski instructor buried under snow for an hour after this morning’s avalanche (雪崩), is recovering in hospital. He has been allowed to speak with reporters from his hospital bed, but he can’t stand up on his own because of a broken ankle. Speaking to reporters, he admitted the accident shocked everyone. “People didn’t think that this kind of thing would happen to an experienced skier” he said. He said that the weather had been good all week, and there hadn’t been any warnings about possible avalanches. The problem was that Charles had gone out in an unprepared ski area, He explained. “It is true that there hadn’t been any avalanche warnings, but the fact is that I put other people in danger by leading my group to that area. I shouldn’t have done that,” he admitted regretfully. Recalling the terrifying moment, he continued, while waiting for his group, he heard a loud noise and saw a wall of snow racing towards him. Charles had no time to react. Within seconds, he was blinded, everything turned white, and then there was silence. As time passed, Charles started to panic, fearing he wouldn’t be able to breathe. After what seemed like hours, he heard barking and realized that the specially trained mountain rescue dogs had found him using their incredible sense of smell. Once freed, his biggest concern was that there were still other people buried under the snow. Luckily, no others were caught. Incredibly grateful to the dogs and the rescue team, he promised to thank them in person as soon as he was well enough to leave the hospital and he agreed that he was a very lucky man. Charles went on to stress that the frequency of avalanches has increased in recent years, “The point is that we all need to be careful, even if we are experienced skiers.” 4.

C To mark its 130th anniversary this year, the National Trust has announced plans to create around 2,500 square kilometres of “nature-rich” landscapes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The National Trust is a charity that preserves nature and buildings. The organisation has set a target of 2035 for creating these natural areas. It’s an ambitious goal: in the past 10 years the Trust has done similar work, but only for around 250 square kilometres. If joined together, the landscapes it plans to create would cover an area bigger than the Lake District National Park. The charity’s focus will be restoring peatland (watery habitats containing a soil-like material called peat) and improving the quality of rivers. It aims to improve the health of enough soil to provide homes for one billion earthworms. The National Trust also aims to reconnect natural areas that have been broken into separate bits, such as a road cutting a forest in half. Known as habitat fragmentation, this is often caused by humans and harms animals by making it hard for them to feed and raise families. The new landscapes will help tackle climate change by protecting plants and peat. These both absorb carbon dioxide from the air. This is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and climate change. The plans are aimed at land already owned by the National Trust, as well as nearby areas and land that it plans to buy. Examples include linking an area of disused farmland in Merseyside, England, to a nearby area of forest. There are also plans to link two areas of protected land that are 10 miles apart in England’s Shropshire Hills. This should help breeding curlews. The charity aims to work with farmers and landowners to help them boost nature on their land. “We will ramp up our work to restore nature, both on our own land and beyond our boundaries,” said Hilary McGrady, director-general of the National Trust. 8. What does the National Trust aim to do for the next ten years? A. Protect all forests in the U.K. B. Increase the natural areas by tenfold. C. Enlarge the peatland by 10%. D. Expand Lake District National Park. 9. What harm does “habitat fragmentation” do? A. Separating natural areas into small parts. B. Threatening the survival of animals. C. Restricting human’s regular movement. D. Transforming forests into farmland. 10. What will the Trust do to create new landscapes? A. Connect smaller areas of land. B. Replant crops on disused farmland. C. Till the land in mountain areas. D. Link the roads that cut the forests. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The history of the National Trust. B. The benefits of natural landscapes. C. The Trust’s efforts to cut emissions. D. The Trust’s plans to restore nature. D In an era when the average person checks their smartphone nearly 144 times a day, devoting oneself to a lengthy novel or complex piece of literature has become uncommon. The digital revolution(革命), while bringing easy access to information, has degraded our capacity for deep reading. Deep reading is more than just processing words on a page. It’s an experience that involves critical thinking, empathy, and knowledge exploration. This form of reading allows individuals to engage with complex ideas and connect emotionally with texts. Historically, deep reading has been instrumental in education and personal development, cultivating a person capable of critical thought and innovation. In a digital age, the way we consume information has dramatically changed. For instance, social media platforms are designed to catch our attention through endless browsing and bite-sized content. This design can weaken our patience for longer, more demanding texts. A study from Microsoft Corp. suggested that the human attention span has decreased from 12 seconds in 2000 to about 8 seconds today, highlighting how digital media affects our ability to concentrate. In the digital landscape, attention has become what companies compete for, often employing strategies that disturb our attention span. Notices, advertisements, and big data-based content make it difficult for readers to find the uninterrupted time necessary for deep reading. Our brains are remarkably adaptable, and the way we process information can change with our habits. Neuroscientists(神经系统科学家)have found that regular internet use can rewire neural pathways, favoring quick decision-making and surface processing over deep thinking. The Internet encourages rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information from many sources—a mode of thinking that is contrary to deep reading. The decline in deep reading doesn’t just affect individual cognition (认知). It has broader societal consequences. In education, students used to surface-level reading may struggle with texts that require analysis and critical thinking. This trend can lead to a workforce less prepared for jobs that demand deep understanding and problem-solving skills. 12. Why does deep reading matter according to paragraph 2? A. It enhances reflective ability. B. It simplifies knowledge exploration. C. It accelerates information processing. D. It encourages social media engagement. 13. Why do companies apply data-driven business strategies? A. To boost educational content. B. To create better reading environments. C. To encourage uninterrupted reading sessions. D. To compete for attention in the digital landscape. 14. What problem arises from declining deep reading? A. Reduction in social cognition. B. Overuse of digital texts. C Difficulty in critical analysis. D. Shortage of learning resources. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Deep Reading: A Lost Art in the Digital Age. B. The Forgotten Skill: Deep Reading in Education. C. Digital Revolution: Changing the Way We Learn. D. Information Revolution: Simplifying Knowledge. 阅读下列短文，从给出的7个选项中选出5个最佳选项。 On social media platforms, we can easily express our opinions without considering possible consequences. ____16____. So try mastering the art of social media manners with our guide on responsible posting. In social media, the principle “Think Before You Post” serves as a vital reminder of our responsibility. Before hitting that “post” button, take a moment to reflect on what you say. ____17____ A seemingly harmless joke might hurt someone with a different sense of humor. Understanding your audience is also key. Imagine being at a party. Would you discuss the same topics with your grandmother as with your classmates? Probably not. ____18____ Each social media platform has its own unique audience and culture. Be mindful of your audience. Are they mostly family or professional contacts? These factors can guide your posts. ____19____ Just because something is available to you doesn’t mean it’s meant for public consumption. If you encounter someone’s sensitive information, it’s your responsibility to maintain secrecy, whether it’s a video from a closed-door party, or even something as simple as labelling them in a post. Engaging in constructive conversations is another crucial aspect of social media manners. The digital world is where you can learn, grow and broaden your horizons. In digital discussions, remember the golden rule: treat others as you want to be treated. It’s perfectly fine to disagree, but how you handle that disagreement truly matters. Avoid personal attacks. ____20____. Express your thoughts in a respectful and constructive manner. Furthermore, be open to different viewpoints, which will offer you new insights and enrich your understanding of the world. A. Instead, focus on the issue at hand. B. Do they correspond with your values? C. Make it a point not to disclose others’ privacy. D. Never have your digital footprint left for good. E. Could it be misinterpreted or taken out of context? F. Yet this carefree posting practice can lead to harm. G. The same principle applies to your digital interactions. 二、完形填空 I still remember the first volleyball game after my surgery (手术) at the age of 15.

Mommy!” Lily called out, skipping into the kitchen with her pigtails (马尾辫) bouncing and a flush of excitement reddening her cheeks. “Guess what! Mr. Carter, my teacher, started a ‘Kindness Garden’ on the bullet in board. Every time someone does something kind or helpful, they get to add a flower with their name on it!” “That sounds wonderful,” Mommy said, wiping her hands on a towel. “Did you do something kind today?” Lily’s smile faded slightly. “No, but Emma did. She helped clean up the art supplies after class. I really wish I could do something kind tomorrow!” The next day at school, Jake earned a flower for sharing his crayons, and Sophia got one for comforting a classmate who was upset. But Lily didn’t receive a flower. The following morning didn’t start well either. Lily accidentally knocked over her juice at breakfast, and it spilled all over the table. “I’ll never get a flower like this,” she thought with a sigh. Later that afternoon, Mr. Carter handed back the science quizzes (测验) from the day before. “Class, only one person got every question right. Great job, Lily! Come and pick out a flower for the Kindness Garden.” Lily’s heart leapt. “Yay!” she cheered, beaming (眉开眼笑) as she taped her flower onto the board. After school, she raced home, holding her quiz tightly in her hand. “Mommy! Mommy! Look what I got!” she shouted excitedly, waving the paper proudly. Mommy also felt happy and praised her. That night, as Lily stared at her perfect score again, her eyes suddenly caught a tiny mistake. One of her answers was wrong, but Mr. Carter had marked it correct. Her heart flinched with guilt and confusion. “Oh no… Mommy, look! I didn’t actually get everything right!” Mommy sat beside her and said gently, “Well, sweetheart, it seems you have a choice to make.” “But I don’t want to lose my flower!” Lily whispered, her lower lip trembling. “You know what’s right, Lily,” Mommy said, hugging her. “And I believe you’ll choose wisely.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Lily dragged her feet to school, her heart heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, Mr. Carter announced it to the class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
