On that day, he spotted nearly 400 white cranes (鹤) in his patrol (巡逻) area near Poyang Lake. “I was thrilled. It was the largest number of migratory birds I had seen in months,” Wang said. Wang has been a patrol officer at the Wucheng protection and administration station of the Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve Bureau for 38 years. Each morning, around 5 am, he rises early, has a simple breakfast, and sets off from the protection station. “Protecting the birds of Poyang Lake is my duty. This work has become a significant part of my life and holds the utmost importance to me. By protecting nature’s spirits, I have found my life’s purpose,” Wang said. Wang fondly recalls rescuing a young white crane 20 years ago on a winter’s day. He spotted the injured young crane during his patrol and brought it back to the protection station, where he fed it small fish and shrimp and took it to the bird hospital for treatment. “I remember when we went to the hospital; I walked in front, and the young crane followed me. We entered the hospital together. After about a month, its injury healed, and I decided to release it back into the wild,” he said. “That day left a deep impression on me. The little white crane circled above my head for a long time before flying away. It felt like it recognized me and was reluctant to leave.” Over the decades, Wang has rescued and released over 300 birds and participated in more than 180 projects involving the protection of migratory birds. He has received numerous honors, including being named “Jiangxi’s most beautiful environmentalist”. 24．What made November 23 a remarkable day for Wang last winter? A．He successfully completed his winter patrol. B．He achieved a personal milestone in his career C．He witnessed an extraordinary gathering of birds D．He received recognition for his conservation efforts. 25．How does the author develop Wang’s dedication to bird protection? A．By analyzing scientific data. B．By describing his daily routine. C．By comparing his work with others’. D．By quoting his personal statements. 26．What does Wang ‘s experience with the young crane reveal regarding his character? A．His scientific curiosity. B．His adventurous spirit. C．His professional ambition. D．His kind and caring nature. 27．What does the text imply about Wang’s work? A．It focuses only on local bird species. B．He works alone without any partners. C．It has been recognized and praised by others D．His projects are funded by international organizations. C When you picture a zoo, what do you see? A lone bear in a concrete cage, pacing aimlessly in front of tourists? Or a group of volunteers, trying desperately to clean the body of the giant panda? The role of zoos is unclear at first thought. On the one hand, funding from zoos comes from visitors and donors, so to attract the public, zoos must put on a good show. On the other hand, there is a growing cry to protect the animal kingdom from conservation-concerned individuals. That puts zoos in a dilemma. London Zoo, which opened to members in 1828 as the first scientific zoo, opened its doors to the public 19 years later as it was not receiving sufficient funding. However, when the environmental movement was born in the late 20th Century, London Zoo began to change its focus. In the same year when the IUCN Red List was first published, London Zoo worked with Phoenix Zoo on a cooperative programme to boost Arabian oryx (大羚羊) numbers. London Zoo soon became the model on how to run a zoo that can satisfy both its visitors and its inhabitants. Some zoos did not follow suit. The reputation of SeaWorld declined, following the documentary Blackfish, an exposure on SeaWorld’s poor treatment of their killer whales. It is clear from their website that sea creatures’ wellbeing and conservation are not SeaWorld’s priority. They are happy to advertise their sea lion shows and penguin petting experiences, but their conservation “mission” is tucked neatly into a dusty corner of the website. Knowing that places such as SeaWorld may not provide the best care for their animals, we continue to give them our money. However, we should not stop visiting zoos. Zoos are essential to our education. Zoos are outdoors, soul-lifting, and in need of footfall to remain open and serving the animal kingdom. So research zoos before you visit them. Only pay for tickets to zoos that commit to conservation, aim to educate rather than entertain and have high animal welfare standards. Do not tolerate any less. Celebrate zoos which do it right. 28．What leads to the dilemma in paragraph 1? A．The protest from volunteers. B．The competition among zoos. C．The pressure from funding and conservation. D．The conflict between visitors and zoo keepers. 29．Why is London Zoo mentioned? A．To give an example. B．To introduce an opinion. C．To make a prediction. D．To recommend a destination. 30．What does the underlined word “tucked” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Written. B．Divided. C．Hidden. D．Combined. 31．What does the author suggest visitors do in the last paragraph? A．Celebrate the animal shows. B．Fund the poorly-managed zoos. C．Recognize zoos devoted to protection. D．Increase their visits to different zoos. D Forget to bring your charger? What if your clothing could generate electricity from the heat your body naturally produces? This futuristic concept is becoming a reality. Scientists at Chalmers University and Linköping University in Sweden have developed a new yarn (纱线) that can generate electricity from body heat, using a polymer coating (聚合物涂层) applied to ordinary silk yarn. The principle is the thermoelectric effect (热电效应), where temperature differences between the human body and its surrounding environment create electrical energy. As the human body produces constant heat, the warmer side of the thermoelectric material transfers electrons to the colder side, generating an electrical current. “The polymers that we use are bendable, lightweight and easy to use in both liquid and solid form. They are also harmless,” says study first author Mariavittoria Craighero. Unlike previous attempts at creating thermoelectric textiles, this breakthrough solves a long-standing problem: the lack of air-stable polymers. “The new type of polymer has outstanding performance stability in contact with air while at the same time having a very good ability to conduct electricity. By using polymers, we don't need any rare earth metals, which are common in electronics,” explains Craighero. The new thermoelectric yarn could power sensors in clothing to monitor vital signs like heart rate and body temperature without needing battery changes or recharging. Beyond healthcare, it could enable lowpower functions in smart clothing, such as environmental sensing and location tracking. As power conversion efficiency improves, more power-demanding features can be supported. While the new polymers mark a major step forward in thermoelectric textiles, it's important to note that the temperature differences in lab tests are much higher than those typically experienced in everyday clothing. As a result, real-world performance may be lower. Moreover, the yarn generates only 0. 67 microwatts at a 70-degree temperature difference, which is far too little to charge devices like smartphones. The manufacturing process is also time-consuming, requiring four days of manual work to create one piece, making it impractical for large-scale commercial production. 32．How does the new approach generate electricity? A．By recycling the flow of air. B．By absorbing the energy of sunlight. C．By heating the surrounding environment. D．By making use of temperature differences. 33．What advantage do the new polymers have over previous materials? A．Lower costs. B．Greater safety. C．Higher stability. D．Less weight. 34．What can we learn about the new yarn from paragraph 5? A．It needs to be charged regularly. B．It has broad application prospects. C．It is designed for medical treatment. D．It will be launched into the market soon. 35．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The limitations of putting the polymers into practical use. B．The standard of producing the new textile. C．The potential of the polymers in powering devices. D．The follow-up test plan of scientists. 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 First of all, we need to understand that handling interpersonal relationships is not as simple as treating others to meals or giving gifts. In today’s era, everyone seems to carry an invisible list of treating and gifting, from dinner parties to wedding banquets, from Mid-Autumn mooncakes to Spring Festival red envelopes, which all seem to be tightly wrapped in the “human relationship culture”. 36 The Mehrabian Principle Psychologist Albert Mehrabian put forward a very interesting formula, which reveals the importance of the three major elements in communication: the content of words accounts for only 7%, the tone of voice accounts for 38%, and a high 55% of the information actually comes from non-verbal body language. 37 Whether your eyes are wandering or firm when you speak, whether your gestures are fluttering or quiet, these subtle details that are easily ignored are the truth of interpersonal communication. Non-verbal Communication From the perspective of language psychology, a person’s speaking intonation, pitch, and speed will affect others’ understanding of his intentions. At the beginning of Martin Luther King’s speech, his tone was calm and low, with analysis and contemplation, telling the facts of racial inequality and gradually introducing hope. 38 Finally, it reached the peak in “Freedom forever”. The reason why this speech moved the audience was not only relying on the words, but also on the passion and hope conveyed by the tone. Emotional Capital The “emotional capital” in sociology can help us understand the role of the Mehrabian Principle in interpersonal relationships. 39 Treating others to meals can accumulate short-term goodwill, but only long-term emotional investment can make interpersonal relationships as stable as bank deposits and play a role at critical moments. Facial Expression Management As the saying goes, “You don’t hit a person who smiles at you”. A sincere smile can instantly shorten the distance between people. 40 A face that often wears a smile will make people feel that you are friendly and approachable, and they are willing to have in-depth communication with you. A．However, in fact, the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things, but in the emotional transmission during communication. B．When he said “I have a dream”, his tone rose, full of passion and expectation, and his voice became more powerful and rhythmic. C．This means that non-verbal signals are far more influential than the words themselves in communication. D．Emotional capital is a relational asset accumulated through emotional interaction, which creates trust in long-term relationships. E．Whether it’s a workplace meeting or a social gathering, a smile is always the best icebreaker. F．Many people believe that material gifts are the most direct way to maintain relationships. G．It is difficult to build trust with others if you always show a cold or unfriendly expression. 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, 共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。 Thor, the kitten, a Michigan family’s pet, has lived up to his superhero name.

Despite a population increase of nearly 7 million and a 3.6-fold economic expansion since 2007, the 57 (lake) water quality has improved from Grade V to Ⅲ. Restoring large lakes that suffer from eutrophication (富营养化) is 58 global challenge, but the experience of Taihu Lake has proved that it is possible. In the past two decades, around 55 million cubic meters of silt (淤泥) 59 (remove). In 2024, the intelligent dredging (清淤) ship Taihu Star began operation, 60 (process) up to 5,000 cubic meters daily.

In September 2024, an intelligent online platform was launched 61 (monitor) water quality. Last summer, the blue-green algae growth area and the density dropped 62 (significant). The environmental measures have driven industrial transformation. In 2024, high-tech industries accounted 63 over half of the total output of industrial firms above the designated size in three cities of Jiangsu: Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou. “The Taihu Lake experience shows that with proper policies and strong 64 (commit), lakes can be restored and economic development can go hand in hand with 65 (ecology) protection,” said an official of Jiangsu’s Department of Ecology and Environment. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假设你是学生会主席李华，为帮助外国留学生了解中国传统文化，你校将举行中国传统艺术周活动，请你写一个通知，告知你校外国留学生，内容包括： 1.活动的时间、地点； 2.活动内容。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2.尽量用本单元知识点； 3.标题和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Notice _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Every child hopes for gifts for Christmas. But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself. It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him. Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing?” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag?” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.” We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire. 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 soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025-2026学年高二英语上学期第一次月考卷（外研版2019）请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 全解全析 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 考生注意： 1．答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 3．难度系数：0.65。 4．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） 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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．How is the man preparing to use the tools?

C．They were expensive but unreliable. 19．What happens when a smart camera doesn’t recognize someone? A．It ignores the person. B．It takes a photo of the person. C．It contacts you or the authorities. 20．What is the speaker mainly talking about? A．Pet care. B．Home security. C．Camera technology. 【答案】18．C 19．C 20．B 【原文】 W: Home security is becoming one of the fastest growing technology markets. Previously, home owners had to get expensive alarms. These systems could not be relied upon, and would even be set off if there was a power cut. Nowadays, with advancements in technology, it is easy to add extra protection to your home at affordable prices. Companies like Nest and Ring have released doorbells that also have a camera. The main selling point of these devices is that when someone rings your doorbell, you can choose to answer via your phone, even if you’re not in the house. This can drive away thieves as they believe the house is occupied. It also takes photos of people in your house. Some cameras come with face recognition software so that if it doesn’t recognize someone, it will inform you or the authorities. So-called “smart homes” allow you to control and monitor your home from your smart phone or tablet. You are able to turn the lights on and off while in another country, making it appear occupied. You can also monitor smart security cameras that can sit in your home, or outside on your walls. These also allow you to monitor your pets and children, keeping your loved ones under your watchful eyes. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A The Best Writing Contests for High School StudentsScholastic Art and Writing Awards ●Award Amount: $1,000 to $12,500 scholarships ●Deadline: Varies between December and January, depending on your region ●Fee: $10 for single entry, $30 for portfolio (作品选辑) The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards celebrate art by students in grades seven through twelve (age 13 or older) on a regional and national scale.

On that day, he spotted nearly 400 white cranes (鹤) in his patrol (巡逻) area near Poyang Lake. “I was thrilled. It was the largest number of migratory birds I had seen in months,” Wang said. Wang has been a patrol officer at the Wucheng protection and administration station of the Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve Bureau for 38 years. Each morning, around 5 am, he rises early, has a simple breakfast, and sets off from the protection station. “Protecting the birds of Poyang Lake is my duty. This work has become a significant part of my life and holds the utmost importance to me. By protecting nature’s spirits, I have found my life’s purpose,” Wang said. Wang fondly recalls rescuing a young white crane 20 years ago on a winter’s day. He spotted the injured young crane during his patrol and brought it back to the protection station, where he fed it small fish and shrimp and took it to the bird hospital for treatment. “I remember when we went to the hospital; I walked in front, and the young crane followed me. We entered the hospital together. After about a month, its injury healed, and I decided to release it back into the wild,” he said. “That day left a deep impression on me. The little white crane circled above my head for a long time before flying away. It felt like it recognized me and was reluctant to leave.” Over the decades, Wang has rescued and released over 300 birds and participated in more than 180 projects involving the protection of migratory birds. He has received numerous honors, including being named “Jiangxi’s most beautiful environmentalist”. 24．What made November 23 a remarkable day for Wang last winter?

On that day, he spotted nearly 400 white cranes in his patrol area near Poyang Lake.(11月23日是王小龙去年冬天最开心的一天。那天，他在鄱阳湖附近的巡逻区域发现了近400只白鹤。)”可知，11月23日对王小龙来说意义非凡，是因为他目睹了大量候鸟聚集。故选C项。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段““Protecting the birds of Poyang Lake is my duty. This work has become a significant part of my life and holds the utmost importance to me. By protecting nature’s spirits, I have found my life’s purpose,” Wang said. (“保护鄱阳湖的鸟类是我的职责。这份工作已经成为我生活中重要的一部分，对我来说至关重要。通过保护自然界的精灵，我找到了人生的目标，”王说。)”可知，作者通过引用王小龙的个人陈述来体现他对鸟类保护的奉献。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据第五段“He spotted the injured young crane during his patrol and brought it back to the protection station, where he fed it small fish and shrimp and took it to the bird hospital for treatment.(他在巡逻时发现了这只受伤的幼鹤，把它带回了保护站，在那里喂它小鱼小虾，并带它去鸟类医院治疗。)”及第六段中幼鹤康复后不舍离开的描述可知，这段经历体现了王小龙善良且有爱心的性格。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“He has received numerous honors, including being named “Jiangxi’s most beautiful environmentalist”. (他获得了无数荣誉，包括被评为“江西最美环保人”。)”可知，王小龙的工作得到了他人的认可和赞扬。故选C项。 C When you picture a zoo, what do you see? A lone bear in a concrete cage, pacing aimlessly in front of tourists? Or a group of volunteers, trying desperately to clean the body of the giant panda? The role of zoos is unclear at first thought. On the one hand, funding from zoos comes from visitors and donors, so to attract the public, zoos must put on a good show. On the other hand, there is a growing cry to protect the animal kingdom from conservation-concerned individuals. That puts zoos in a dilemma. London Zoo, which opened to members in 1828 as the first scientific zoo, opened its doors to the public 19 years later as it was not receiving sufficient funding. However, when the environmental movement was born in the late 20th Century, London Zoo began to change its focus. In the same year when the IUCN Red List was first published, London Zoo worked with Phoenix Zoo on a cooperative programme to boost Arabian oryx (大羚羊) numbers. London Zoo soon became the model on how to run a zoo that can satisfy both its visitors and its inhabitants. Some zoos did not follow suit. The reputation of SeaWorld declined, following the documentary Blackfish, an exposure on SeaWorld’s poor treatment of their killer whales. It is clear from their website that sea creatures’ wellbeing and conservation are not SeaWorld’s priority. They are happy to advertise their sea lion shows and penguin petting experiences, but their conservation “mission” is tucked neatly into a dusty corner of the website. Knowing that places such as SeaWorld may not provide the best care for their animals, we continue to give them our money. However, we should not stop visiting zoos. Zoos are essential to our education. Zoos are outdoors, soul-lifting, and in need of footfall to remain open and serving the animal kingdom. So research zoos before you visit them. Only pay for tickets to zoos that commit to conservation, aim to educate rather than entertain and have high animal welfare standards. Do not tolerate any less. Celebrate zoos which do it right. 28．What leads to the dilemma in paragraph 1? A．The protest from volunteers. B．The competition among zoos. C．The pressure from funding and conservation. D．The conflict between visitors and zoo keepers. 29．Why is London Zoo mentioned? A．To give an example. B．To introduce an opinion. C．To make a prediction. D．To recommend a destination. 30．What does the underlined word “tucked” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Written. B．Divided. C．Hidden. D．Combined. 31．What does the author suggest visitors do in the last paragraph? A．Celebrate the animal shows. B．Fund the poorly-managed zoos. C．Recognize zoos devoted to protection. D．Increase their visits to different zoos. 【答案】28．C 29．A 30．C 31．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了动物园处境两难，需吸引游客又要保护动物。伦敦动物园转型成功，而海洋世界饱受诟病。建议选择注重保护、教育和福利的动物园参观。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“On the one hand, funding from zoos comes from visitors and donors, so to attract the public, zoos must put on a good show. On the other hand, there is a growing cry to protect the animal kingdom from conservation-concerned individuals. That puts zoos in a dilemma.(一方面，动物园的资金来自游客和捐赠者，所以为了吸引公众，动物园必须表演得精彩些。另一方面，越来越多的人呼吁保护动物王国，以免受到那些出于保护动机的个人的破坏。这就让动物园陷入了两难的境地)”可知，导致第一段中所描述的这种困境的原因是资金与保护方面的压力。故选C。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段“London Zoo, which opened to members in 1828 as the first scientific zoo, opened its doors to the public 19 years later as it was not receiving sufficient funding. However, when the environmental movement was born in the late 20th Century, London Zoo began to change its focus. In the same year when the IUCN Red List was first published, London Zoo worked with Phoenix Zoo on a cooperative programme to boost Arabian oryx (大羚羊) numbers. London Zoo soon became the model on how to run a zoo that can satisfy both its visitors and its inhabitants.(伦敦动物园于1828年作为首家科学动物园向会员开放，19年后因资金不足而向公众开放。然而，在20世纪末环保运动兴起之时，伦敦动物园开始转变其发展方向。在《世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录》首次发布的同一年，伦敦动物园与菲尼克斯动物园合作开展了一项合作项目，以增加阿拉伯大羚羊的数量。伦敦动物园很快成为了如何运营既能满足游客需求又能照顾动物的动物园的典范)”可知，提到伦敦动物园是为了举例说明。故选A。 30．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They are happy to advertise their sea lion shows and penguin petting experiences, but their conservation “mission” is(他们乐于宣传海狮表演和企鹅亲密接触活动，但其“保护使命”……)”以及后文“into a dusty corner of the website (在网站的一个不起眼的角落里)”可知，上文中but表示转折，后文提到了在网站的一个不起眼的角落里，说明“保护使命”被隐藏起来。故划线词意思是“隐藏”。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“So research zoos before you visit them. Only pay for tickets to zoos that commit to conservation, aim to educate rather than entertain and have high animal welfare standards. Do not tolerate any less. Celebrate zoos which do it right.(所以在参观动物园之前，要先进行一番研究。只购买那些致力于保护工作、旨在教育而非娱乐、并且有高标准动物福利的动物园的门票。不要容忍任何低于标准的行为。要赞美那些做得很好的动物园)”可知，作者建议游客们识别那些致力于保护动物的动物园。故选C。 D Forget to bring your charger? What if your clothing could generate electricity from the heat your body naturally produces? This futuristic concept is becoming a reality. Scientists at Chalmers University and Linköping University in Sweden have developed a new yarn (纱线) that can generate electricity from body heat, using a polymer coating (聚合物涂层) applied to ordinary silk yarn. The principle is the thermoelectric effect (热电效应), where temperature differences between the human body and its surrounding environment create electrical energy. As the human body produces constant heat, the warmer side of the thermoelectric material transfers electrons to the colder side, generating an electrical current. “The polymers that we use are bendable, lightweight and easy to use in both liquid and solid form. They are also harmless,” says study first author Mariavittoria Craighero. Unlike previous attempts at creating thermoelectric textiles, this breakthrough solves a long-standing problem: the lack of air-stable polymers. “The new type of polymer has outstanding performance stability in contact with air while at the same time having a very good ability to conduct electricity. By using polymers, we don't need any rare earth metals, which are common in electronics,” explains Craighero. The new thermoelectric yarn could power sensors in clothing to monitor vital signs like heart rate and body temperature without needing battery changes or recharging. Beyond healthcare, it could enable lowpower functions in smart clothing, such as environmental sensing and location tracking. As power conversion efficiency improves, more power-demanding features can be supported. While the new polymers mark a major step forward in thermoelectric textiles, it's important to note that the temperature differences in lab tests are much higher than those typically experienced in everyday clothing. As a result, real-world performance may be lower. Moreover, the yarn generates only 0. 67 microwatts at a 70-degree temperature difference, which is far too little to charge devices like smartphones. The manufacturing process is also time-consuming, requiring four days of manual work to create one piece, making it impractical for large-scale commercial production. 32．How does the new approach generate electricity? A．By recycling the flow of air. B．By absorbing the energy of sunlight. C．By heating the surrounding environment. D．By making use of temperature differences. 33．What advantage do the new polymers have over previous materials? A．Lower costs. B．Greater safety. C．Higher stability. D．Less weight. 34．What can we learn about the new yarn from paragraph 5? A．It needs to be charged regularly. B．It has broad application prospects. C．It is designed for medical treatment. D．It will be launched into the market soon. 35．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The limitations of putting the polymers into practical use. B．The standard of producing the new textile. C．The potential of the polymers in powering devices. D．The follow-up test plan of scientists. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了能够利用温差产生电能的新型聚合物，可用于丝线。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The principle is the thermoelectric effect (热电效应), where temperature differences between the human body and its surrounding environment create electrical energy. (原理是热电效应，这一原理下人体与其周围环境之间的温差产生电能)”可知，这一新产电方法是利用了温差。故选D项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Unlike previous attempts at creating thermoelectric textiles, this breakthrough solves a long-standing problem: the lack of air-stable polymers. (与之前制造热电纺织品的尝试不同，这一突破解决了一个长期存在的问题：缺乏空气稳定的聚合物)”可知，这一新的尝试解决了一个长期存在的问题，即缺乏空气稳定的聚合物，也就是说这一新的尝试，得出来的聚合物更加稳定，同样，第四段第一句“The new type of polymer has outstanding performance stability in contact with air while at the same time having a very good ability to conduct electricity. (这种新型聚合物在与空气接触时具有出色的性能稳定性，同时具有非常好的导电能力)”也指出这种聚合物的稳定性好，导电能力强。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据第五段“The new thermoelectric yarn could power sensors in clothing to monitor vital signs like heart rate and body temperature without needing battery changes or recharging. Beyond healthcare, it could enable lowpower functions in smart clothing, such as environmental sensing and location tracking. As power conversion efficiency improves, more power-demanding features can be supported. (这种新型热电纱线可以为服装中的传感器供电，以监测心率和体温等生命体征，而无需更换电池或充电。除了医疗保健，它还可以在智能服装中实现低功耗功能，如环境传感和位置跟踪。随着功率转换效率的提高，可以支持更多需要功率的功能)”可知，这种新型热电纱线可以用于服装，医疗等等领域，这体现出的是它的用途广泛，即应用前景广。故选B项。 35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While the new polymers mark a major step forward in thermoelectric textiles, it's important to note that the temperature differences in lab tests are much higher than those typically experienced in everyday clothing. As a result, real-world performance may be lower. Moreover, the yarn generates only 0. 67 microwatts at a 70-degree temperature difference, which is far too little to charge devices like smartphones. The manufacturing process is also time-consuming, requiring four days of manual work to create one piece, making it impractical for large-scale commercial production.(虽然这种新型聚合物标志着热电纺织品向前迈出了一大步，但值得注意的是，实验室测试中的温差远高于日常服装中的温差。因此，现实世界的性能可能会更低。此外，在70度温差下，纱线仅产生0.67微瓦，这对于智能手机等设备充电来说太小了。制造过程也很耗时，需要四天才能手工制作一件，这使得大规模商业生产不切实际)”可知，实验室测试中的温差在现实世界的性能会更低，产生的功率很低，且费时多，换言之，这一段呈现出来的是这种聚合物要投入实际生产使用所面临的缺陷短板。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 First of all, we need to understand that handling interpersonal relationships is not as simple as treating others to meals or giving gifts. In today’s era, everyone seems to carry an invisible list of treating and gifting, from dinner parties to wedding banquets, from Mid-Autumn mooncakes to Spring Festival red envelopes, which all seem to be tightly wrapped in the “human relationship culture”. 36 The Mehrabian Principle Psychologist Albert Mehrabian put forward a very interesting formula, which reveals the importance of the three major elements in communication: the content of words accounts for only 7%, the tone of voice accounts for 38%, and a high 55% of the information actually comes from non-verbal body language. 37 Whether your eyes are wandering or firm when you speak, whether your gestures are fluttering or quiet, these subtle details that are easily ignored are the truth of interpersonal communication. Non-verbal Communication From the perspective of language psychology, a person’s speaking intonation, pitch, and speed will affect others’ understanding of his intentions. At the beginning of Martin Luther King’s speech, his tone was calm and low, with analysis and contemplation, telling the facts of racial inequality and gradually introducing hope. 38 Finally, it reached the peak in “Freedom forever”. The reason why this speech moved the audience was not only relying on the words, but also on the passion and hope conveyed by the tone. Emotional Capital The “emotional capital” in sociology can help us understand the role of the Mehrabian Principle in interpersonal relationships. 39 Treating others to meals can accumulate short-term goodwill, but only long-term emotional investment can make interpersonal relationships as stable as bank deposits and play a role at critical moments. Facial Expression Management As the saying goes, “You don’t hit a person who smiles at you”. A sincere smile can instantly shorten the distance between people. 40 A face that often wears a smile will make people feel that you are friendly and approachable, and they are willing to have in-depth communication with you. A．However, in fact, the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things, but in the emotional transmission during communication. B．When he said “I have a dream”, his tone rose, full of passion and expectation, and his voice became more powerful and rhythmic. C．This means that non-verbal signals are far more influential than the words themselves in communication. D．Emotional capital is a relational asset accumulated through emotional interaction, which creates trust in long-term relationships. E．Whether it’s a workplace meeting or a social gathering, a smile is always the best icebreaker. F．Many people believe that material gifts are the most direct way to maintain relationships. G．It is difficult to build trust with others if you always show a cold or unfriendly expression. 【答案】36．A 37．C 38．B 39．D 40．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕人际交往展开，介绍梅拉比安法则，强调非语言沟通、情感资本及表情管理的重要性。 36．由上文“In today’s era, everyone seems to carry an invisible list of treating and gifting, from dinner parties to wedding banquets, from Mid-Autumn mooncakes to Spring Festival red envelopes, which all seem to be tightly wrapped in the “human relationship culture”. (在当今时代，从晚宴到婚宴，从中秋月饼到春节红包，每个人似乎都带着一张看不见的送礼清单，这些似乎都被“人际关系文化”紧紧包裹着。)”可知，前文描述了人际关系中物质往来的现象，空格处需转折引出真正的关键。A项However, in fact, the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things, but in the emotional transmission during communication. (然而，事实上，人际交往的关键并不在于物质，而在于沟通中的情感传递。)符合语境，“However”承接前文的物质现象，“the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things”点明核心在于情感传递，与前文形成对比。故选A项。 37．由上文“Psychologist Albert Mehrabian put forward a very interesting formula, which reveals the importance of the three major elements in communication: the content of words accounts for only 7%, the tone of voice accounts for 38%, and a high 55% of the information actually comes from non-verbal body language. (心理学家Albert Mehrabian提出了一个非常有趣的公式，揭示了沟通中三大要素的重要性：语言的内容仅占7%，语调占38%，55%的信息实际上来自非言语肢体语言。)”可知，数据突出了非语言信号的重要性。C项This means that non-verbal signals are far more influential than the words themselves in communication. (这意味着在沟通中，非语言信号比语言本身更具影响力。)是对前文数据的总结，“This means”呼应前文的公式结论，“non-verbal signals are far more influential”直接体现数据所揭示的规律。故选C项。 38．由上文“At the beginning of Martin Luther King’s speech, his tone was calm and low, with analysis and contemplation, telling the facts of racial inequality and gradually introducing hope. (马丁・路德・金演讲伊始，语调平静低沉，带着分析与沉思，讲述种族不平等的事实，并逐渐引入希望。)”可知，前文描述了演讲开始时的语调，空格处应延续对演讲过程中语调变化的描述。B项When he said “I have a dream”, his tone rose, full of passion and expectation, and his voice became more powerful and rhythmic. (当他说出“我有一个梦想”时，语调上扬，充满激情与期待，声音也变得更有力、更有节奏。)符合语境，“When he said “I have a dream””具体描述演讲中的关键部分，“tone rose”与前文“tone was calm and low”形成对比，体现语调变化。故选B项。 39．由上文“The “emotional capital” in sociology can help us understand the role of the Mehrabian Principle in interpersonal relationships. (社会学中的“情感资本”有助于我们理解梅拉比安法则在人际关系中的作用。)”可知，前文引出“情感资本”这一概念，空格处应解释其含义。D项Emotional capital is a relational asset accumulated through emotional interaction, which creates trust in long-term relationships. (情感资本是通过情感互动积累的关系资产，它在长期关系中建立信任。)符合语境，直接对“emotional capital”下定义，“accumulated through emotional interaction”和“creates trust”解释了其本质与作用，承接前文对概念的引入。故选D项。 40．由上文“A sincere smile can instantly shorten the distance between people. (真诚的微笑能瞬间拉近人与人之间的距离。)”和下文“A face that often wears a smile will make people feel that you are friendly and approachable, and they are willing to have in-depth communication with you. (一张经常面带微笑的脸会让人觉得你很友好，平易近人，他们愿意和你进行深入的交流。)”可知，上下文均围绕“微笑”的作用展开，空格处应进一步说明微笑在不同场景中的作用。E项Whether it’s a workplace meeting or a social gathering, a smile is always the best icebreaker. (无论是职场会议还是社交聚会，微笑都是最好的破冰方式。)符合语境，“Whether...or...”列举不同场景，“best icebreaker”呼应前文“shorten the distance”和后文“friendly and approachable”，强调微笑的普遍作用。故选E项。 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, 共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。 Thor, the kitten, a Michigan family’s pet, has lived up to his superhero name. Heidi Stamper’s home in Farmington Hills had lost 41 , so she was running a portable generator in her garage. What she didn’t 42 was that her husband and two kids were also being poisoned by the odorless (无气味的), colorless gas. “About 1:45 in the morning, the cat 43 screaming (尖叫) and it woke me up,” Stamper said. Thor was ill, so Stamper 44 him outside. When the fresh air hit, Thor seemed to 45 , so she took him back inside and fell back asleep. “Half an hour later, the cat was 46 again, waking me up.” Stamper recalled. “But this time I had sweat through all my clothes. I wasn’t able to move. I felt really 47 to my stomach.” The family was not 48 with a carbon monoxide detector (探测器), but 49 , they had Thor.

Despite a population increase of nearly 7 million and a 3.6-fold economic expansion since 2007, the 57 (lake) water quality has improved from Grade V to Ⅲ. Restoring large lakes that suffer from eutrophication (富营养化) is 58 global challenge, but the experience of Taihu Lake has proved that it is possible. In the past two decades, around 55 million cubic meters of silt (淤泥) 59 (remove). In 2024, the intelligent dredging (清淤) ship Taihu Star began operation, 60 (process) up to 5,000 cubic meters daily. Jiangsu has carried out a range of pollution control measures. It has shut down or restructured nearly 60,000 polluting factories. 190 wetland conservation areas have been established. In September 2024, an intelligent online platform was launched 61 (monitor) water quality. Last summer, the blue-green algae growth area and the density dropped 62 (significant). The environmental measures have driven industrial transformation. In 2024, high-tech industries accounted 63 over half of the total output of industrial firms above the designated size in three cities of Jiangsu: Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou. “The Taihu Lake experience shows that with proper policies and strong 64 (commit), lakes can be restored and economic development can go hand in hand with 65 (ecology) protection,” said an official of Jiangsu’s Department of Ecology and Environment. 【答案】 56．which 57．lake’s 58．a 59．has been removed 60．processing 61．to monitor 62．significantly 63．for 64．commitment 65．ecological 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了太湖水质30年来首次达到最佳状态，反映了中国在经济发展同时兼顾环境保护的努力。 56．考查非限制性定语从句。句意：太湖作为中国第三大淡水湖，其水质达到30年来最佳水平，这反映了中国在经济增长同时保护环境的努力。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句，引导词在从句中作主语，用which引导从句，故填which。 57．考查名词所有格。句意：尽管自2007年以来人口增加了近700万，经济扩张了3.6倍，但太湖的水质从V级提高到了Ⅲ级。此处表示“太湖的水质”，应用名词所有格lake’s修饰water quality。故填lake’s。 58．考查冠词。句意：恢复遭受富营养化的大型湖泊是一项全球性挑战，但太湖的经验证明这是可能的。此处泛指“一项全球性挑战”，global以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 59．考查动词时态和语态。句意：在过去的二十年里，大约有5500万立方米的淤泥被清除。主语silt和谓语动词remove之间是被动关系，根据时间状语In the past two decades可知，此处应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语表示单数意义，助动词用has。故填has been removed。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：2024年，智能清淤船“太湖之星”开始运行，每天可处理多达5000立方米的淤泥。本句已有谓语动词began，所以process为非谓语形式，和逻辑主语the intelligent dredging (清淤) ship Taihu Star之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式作状语。故填processing。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：2024年9月，一个监测水质的智能在线平台上线。本句已有谓语动词was launched，所以monitor用非谓语形式，此处表示目的，应用动词不定式形式作目的状语。故填to monitor。 62．考查副词。句意：去年夏天，蓝藻生长面积和密度显著下降。此处修饰动词dropped，应用副词significantly作状语。故填significantly。 63．考查介词。句意：2024年，在江苏的苏州、无锡和常州三个城市，高科技产业占规模以上工业企业总产值的比重超过一半。短语account for，含义为“（在数量、比例上）占”，是固定短语。故填for。 64．考查名词。句意：江苏省生态环境厅的一位官员表示：“太湖的经验表明，只要有适当的政策和强有力的承诺，湖泊可以得到恢复，经济发展可以与生态保护齐头并进。”此处和proper policies并列，应用名词commitment“承诺”作介词with的宾语，commitment是抽象名词，不可数。故填commitment。 65．考查形容词。句意：江苏省生态环境厅的一位官员表示：“太湖的经验表明，只要有适当的政策和强有力的承诺，湖泊可以得到恢复，经济发展可以与生态保护齐头并进。”此处修饰名词protection，应用形容词ecological“生态的”作定语。故填ecological。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假设你是学生会主席李华，为帮助外国留学生了解中国传统文化，你校将举行中国传统艺术周活动，请你写一个通知，告知你校外国留学生，内容包括： 1.活动的时间、地点； 2.活动内容。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2.尽量用本单元知识点； 3.标题和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Notice _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 【参考范文】 Notice Dear foreign students, To help you learn more about traditional Chinese culture, our school will hold a Traditional Chinese Art Week.

But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself. It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him. Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing?” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag?” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.” We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire. 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 soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. The room felt warm now. The kids started giggling when Dad handed them each a piece of candy and a coat. Ms. Black looked with a smile. “The children and I have been praying that angels would come to our help and here you come,” she said with tears running down her face. Dad took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug before we left. Out on the truck I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn’t even notice the cold. On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. It turned out that he and Mom had finally saved enough money to buy that bike for me. On his way to buy me the gift, Dad saw little Robert out of his house with an old thin shirt. “Son, I spent the money saved for your bike buying coats for the children. I hope you understand,” he said. I understood very well. Now the bike seemed very low on my list of priorities. Dad had given me the look on Ms. Black’s face and the joyful smiles of her three children. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因未能得到心仪的自行车而感到沮丧，随后父亲带他去帮助一位贫困的单亲母亲及其孩子，通过这次经历，作者领悟到了给予比接受更令人快乐的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我很快让火烧得更旺，每个人的情绪都高涨起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者帮助生火后，屋内变得温暖，孩子们和Ms. Black都感到开心，作者也感受到了内心的温暖。 ②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上，爸爸转向我，开始解释我长久以来渴望的那辆自行车。”可知，第二段可描写父亲解释自行车的事情，他原本打算用存的钱给作者买自行车，但看到Robert的困境后，决定用这些钱买衣服和糖果给孩子们。作者对此表示理解，并认为自行车已不再那么重要。 2.续写线索：生火——屋内变暖——孩子们开心——父亲解释自行车的事情——作者理解并感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①传递：hand/give/pass ②拥抱：gave them a hug/embraced them/hugged them warmly ③购买：buy/purchase/acquire 情绪类 ①感动流泪：with tears running down her face/with tears streaming down her cheeks/with tears trickling down her face ②感到温暖：felt a warmth/experienced a sense of warmth/sensed a feeling of warmth 【点睛】[高分句型1] The kids started giggling when Dad handed them each a piece of candy and a coat.

The Students’ Union 第二节（满分25分） 【参考范文】 I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. The room felt warm now. The kids started giggling when Dad handed them each a piece of candy and a coat. Ms. Black looked with a smile. “The children and I have been praying that angels would come to our help and here you come,” she said with tears running down her face. Dad took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug before we left. Out on the truck I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn’t even notice the cold. On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. It turned out that he and Mom had finally saved enough money to buy that bike for me. On his way to buy me the gift, Dad saw little Robert out of his house with an old thin shirt. “Son, I spent the money saved for your bike buying coats for the children. I hope you understand,” he said. I understood very well. Now the bike seemed very low on my list of priorities. Dad had given me the look on Ms. Black’s face and the joyful smiles of her three children.

On that day, he spotted nearly 400 white cranes (鹤) in his patrol (巡逻) area near Poyang Lake. “I was thrilled. It was the largest number of migratory birds I had seen in months,” Wang said. Wang has been a patrol officer at the Wucheng protection and administration station of the Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve Bureau for 38 years. Each morning, around 5 am, he rises early, has a simple breakfast, and sets off from the protection station. “Protecting the birds of Poyang Lake is my duty. This work has become a significant part of my life and holds the utmost importance to me. By protecting nature’s spirits, I have found my life’s purpose,” Wang said. Wang fondly recalls rescuing a young white crane 20 years ago on a winter’s day. He spotted the injured young crane during his patrol and brought it back to the protection station, where he fed it small fish and shrimp and took it to the bird hospital for treatment. “I remember when we went to the hospital; I walked in front, and the young crane followed me. We entered the hospital together. After about a month, its injury healed, and I decided to release it back into the wild,” he said. “That day left a deep impression on me. The little white crane circled above my head for a long time before flying away. It felt like it recognized me and was reluctant to leave.” Over the decades, Wang has rescued and released over 300 birds and participated in more than 180 projects involving the protection of migratory birds. He has received numerous honors, including being named “Jiangxi’s most beautiful environmentalist”. 24．What made November 23 a remarkable day for Wang last winter? A．He successfully completed his winter patrol. B．He achieved a personal milestone in his career C．He witnessed an extraordinary gathering of birds D．He received recognition for his conservation efforts. 25．How does the author develop Wang’s dedication to bird protection? A．By analyzing scientific data. B．By describing his daily routine. C．By comparing his work with others’. D．By quoting his personal statements. 26．What does Wang ‘s experience with the young crane reveal regarding his character? A．His scientific curiosity. B．His adventurous spirit. C．His professional ambition. D．His kind and caring nature. 27．What does the text imply about Wang’s work? A．It focuses only on local bird species. B．He works alone without any partners. C．It has been recognized and praised by others D．His projects are funded by international organizations. C When you picture a zoo, what do you see? A lone bear in a concrete cage, pacing aimlessly in front of tourists? Or a group of volunteers, trying desperately to clean the body of the giant panda? The role of zoos is unclear at first thought. On the one hand, funding from zoos comes from visitors and donors, so to attract the public, zoos must put on a good show. On the other hand, there is a growing cry to protect the animal kingdom from conservation-concerned individuals. That puts zoos in a dilemma. London Zoo, which opened to members in 1828 as the first scientific zoo, opened its doors to the public 19 years later as it was not receiving sufficient funding. However, when the environmental movement was born in the late 20th Century, London Zoo began to change its focus. In the same year when the IUCN Red List was first published, London Zoo worked with Phoenix Zoo on a cooperative programme to boost Arabian oryx (大羚羊) numbers. London Zoo soon became the model on how to run a zoo that can satisfy both its visitors and its inhabitants. Some zoos did not follow suit. The reputation of SeaWorld declined, following the documentary Blackfish, an exposure on SeaWorld’s poor treatment of their killer whales. It is clear from their website that sea creatures’ wellbeing and conservation are not SeaWorld’s priority. They are happy to advertise their sea lion shows and penguin petting experiences, but their conservation “mission” is tucked neatly into a dusty corner of the website. Knowing that places such as SeaWorld may not provide the best care for their animals, we continue to give them our money. However, we should not stop visiting zoos. Zoos are essential to our education. Zoos are outdoors, soul-lifting, and in need of footfall to remain open and serving the animal kingdom. So research zoos before you visit them. Only pay for tickets to zoos that commit to conservation, aim to educate rather than entertain and have high animal welfare standards. Do not tolerate any less. Celebrate zoos which do it right. 28．What leads to the dilemma in paragraph 1? A．The protest from volunteers. B．The competition among zoos. C．The pressure from funding and conservation. D．The conflict between visitors and zoo keepers. 29．Why is London Zoo mentioned? A．To give an example. B．To introduce an opinion. C．To make a prediction. D．To recommend a destination. 30．What does the underlined word “tucked” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Written. B．Divided. C．Hidden. D．Combined. 31．What does the author suggest visitors do in the last paragraph? A．Celebrate the animal shows. B．Fund the poorly-managed zoos. C．Recognize zoos devoted to protection. D．Increase their visits to different zoos. D Forget to bring your charger? What if your clothing could generate electricity from the heat your body naturally produces? This futuristic concept is becoming a reality. Scientists at Chalmers University and Linköping University in Sweden have developed a new yarn (纱线) that can generate electricity from body heat, using a polymer coating (聚合物涂层) applied to ordinary silk yarn. The principle is the thermoelectric effect (热电效应), where temperature differences between the human body and its surrounding environment create electrical energy. As the human body produces constant heat, the warmer side of the thermoelectric material transfers electrons to the colder side, generating an electrical current. “The polymers that we use are bendable, lightweight and easy to use in both liquid and solid form. They are also harmless,” says study first author Mariavittoria Craighero. Unlike previous attempts at creating thermoelectric textiles, this breakthrough solves a long-standing problem: the lack of air-stable polymers. “The new type of polymer has outstanding performance stability in contact with air while at the same time having a very good ability to conduct electricity. By using polymers, we don't need any rare earth metals, which are common in electronics,” explains Craighero. The new thermoelectric yarn could power sensors in clothing to monitor vital signs like heart rate and body temperature without needing battery changes or recharging. Beyond healthcare, it could enable lowpower functions in smart clothing, such as environmental sensing and location tracking. As power conversion efficiency improves, more power-demanding features can be supported. While the new polymers mark a major step forward in thermoelectric textiles, it's important to note that the temperature differences in lab tests are much higher than those typically experienced in everyday clothing. As a result, real-world performance may be lower. Moreover, the yarn generates only 0. 67 microwatts at a 70-degree temperature difference, which is far too little to charge devices like smartphones. The manufacturing process is also time-consuming, requiring four days of manual work to create one piece, making it impractical for large-scale commercial production. 32．How does the new approach generate electricity? A．By recycling the flow of air. B．By absorbing the energy of sunlight. C．By heating the surrounding environment. D．By making use of temperature differences. 33．What advantage do the new polymers have over previous materials? A．Lower costs. B．Greater safety. C．Higher stability. D．Less weight. 34．What can we learn about the new yarn from paragraph 5? A．It needs to be charged regularly. B．It has broad application prospects. C．It is designed for medical treatment. D．It will be launched into the market soon. 35．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The limitations of putting the polymers into practical use. B．The standard of producing the new textile. C．The potential of the polymers in powering devices. D．The follow-up test plan of scientists. 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 First of all, we need to understand that handling interpersonal relationships is not as simple as treating others to meals or giving gifts. In today’s era, everyone seems to carry an invisible list of treating and gifting, from dinner parties to wedding banquets, from Mid-Autumn mooncakes to Spring Festival red envelopes, which all seem to be tightly wrapped in the “human relationship culture”. 36 The Mehrabian Principle Psychologist Albert Mehrabian put forward a very interesting formula, which reveals the importance of the three major elements in communication: the content of words accounts for only 7%, the tone of voice accounts for 38%, and a high 55% of the information actually comes from non-verbal body language. 37 Whether your eyes are wandering or firm when you speak, whether your gestures are fluttering or quiet, these subtle details that are easily ignored are the truth of interpersonal communication. Non-verbal Communication From the perspective of language psychology, a person’s speaking intonation, pitch, and speed will affect others’ understanding of his intentions. At the beginning of Martin Luther King’s speech, his tone was calm and low, with analysis and contemplation, telling the facts of racial inequality and gradually introducing hope. 38 Finally, it reached the peak in “Freedom forever”. The reason why this speech moved the audience was not only relying on the words, but also on the passion and hope conveyed by the tone. Emotional Capital The “emotional capital” in sociology can help us understand the role of the Mehrabian Principle in interpersonal relationships. 39 Treating others to meals can accumulate short-term goodwill, but only long-term emotional investment can make interpersonal relationships as stable as bank deposits and play a role at critical moments. Facial Expression Management As the saying goes, “You don’t hit a person who smiles at you”. A sincere smile can instantly shorten the distance between people. 40 A face that often wears a smile will make people feel that you are friendly and approachable, and they are willing to have in-depth communication with you. A．However, in fact, the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things, but in the emotional transmission during communication. B．When he said “I have a dream”, his tone rose, full of passion and expectation, and his voice became more powerful and rhythmic. C．This means that non-verbal signals are far more influential than the words themselves in communication. D．Emotional capital is a relational asset accumulated through emotional interaction, which creates trust in long-term relationships. E．Whether it’s a workplace meeting or a social gathering, a smile is always the best icebreaker. F．Many people believe that material gifts are the most direct way to maintain relationships. G．It is difficult to build trust with others if you always show a cold or unfriendly expression. 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, 共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。 Thor, the kitten, a Michigan family’s pet, has lived up to his superhero name.

But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself. It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him. Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing?” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag?” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.” We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire. 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 soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 试题 第9页（共12页） 试题 第10页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
