More importantly, observational studies cannot determine cause and effect. Are non-sugar sweeteners causing diabetes, or are people at risk of diabetes simply more likely to consume them? Lastly, there are numerous variables that researchers can’t possibly control for in these studies that could influence the results. (世卫组织在审查了数百项已发表研究后提出了这一建议。问题是这些研究绝大多数是观察性的。在这样的研究中，受试者倾向于自我报告他们的食物摄入量，这可能不能保证不准确。更重要的是，观察性研究不能确定因果关系。是无糖甜味剂导致糖尿病，还是有患糖尿病风险的人更容易食用它们？最后，在这些研究中，有许多研究人员无法控制的变量可能会影响结果。)”可知，这一段主要讲述了WHO报告中观察性研究的局限性，包括自报告数据不准确的问题和无法确定因果关系的问题，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“These studies control for variables by randomly assigning people to either a treatment or control group, and they can determine cause and effect (这些研究通过将人们随机分配到治疗组或对照组来控制变量，他们可以确定因果关系。他们表明，甜味剂对减肥有一定的好处，有助于控制血糖，没有观察性研究中看到的负面影响。随机对照试验的缺点是持续时间较短，通常只持续几个月。)”可知，RCTs能够控制变量并确定因果关系，故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For change to happen, it might need to start at the top, where science is funded Government agencies, which appropriate billions for research, should start prioritizing RCTs. (要想发生改变，可能需要从最高层开始，那里的科学是由政府机构资助的，它们为研究拨款数十亿美元，应该开始优先考虑RCTs。)”可知，政府应该通过提供财政支持来帮助RCTs，故选B。 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. B 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者结合自己的经历，谈到学生从事兼职工作的好处和坏处，最后得出结论：兼职工作对学生来说确实是一种很好的经历。 【16题详解】 由本段上文“Of course, it has some bad points. As for me, I have a part-time job working at a supermarket.

My palms sweated as I clutched the story paper, my legs trembling when Ms Green called my name. I walked to the front, avoiding everyone’s eyes, and began to read in a shaky voice. When I finished reading my story, the classroom suddenly burst into warm and loud applause. A classmate even raised her hand, asking, “What happens to the little fox next?” My heart was filled with appreciation for their curiosity, and I smiled shyly. After class, I went to my teacher's office to express my thanks. I hugged Ms Green tightly and said, “Your encouraging words made me brave enough to share my writing in front of the class.” She patted my back gently and handed me a new notebook. “I always believed in you,” she said softly. Opening it, I saw her note: “Keep writing—your stories are meant to be told.” I finally realized I just need to complete and stick to my own stories. Walking out, I felt lighter than ever, knowing my voice had found its place. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 勤建学校高三年级上学期第一次调研考试 英语试卷 2025 .8 考试时间120分钟 试卷分值120分 第一部分 阅读（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。 A Join a Zion National Park ranger (护林人) to learn about what makes Zion National Park unique.

Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark. I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music. I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood. Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”. After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes. I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit. I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that. 4. Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching? A. To impress his friends and relatives. B. To avoid the boredom of retirement. C. To start a new career as a concert pianist. D. To pursue a long-time passion for music. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The author attended a concert of piano music. B. The author performed successfully despite a few errors. C. The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance. D. The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday. 6. What does the author do with his piano now? A. He uses it for music lessons. B. He uses it for performance. C. He uses it for something unrelated to music. D. He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Inner- directed and hardworking. B. Conventional and careless. C. Ambitious and kind-hearted. D. Lazy and pessimistic. C Most people walk. But that seemingly simple act is actually a series of movements, each requiring their own timing and path. Not only that, everybody has a special style of walking, and if you know someone well enough, you can probably identify him by his movements, even from far away. A new paper published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior presents a technique for making assumptions about a person’s entire personality based on their walk. The 29 participants first took the Big Five Inventory, a commonly used personality test helping predict patterns in a person’s thought and behaviour, social skills, tendency to worry, creativity and intellect and extraversion (外向性). The researchers then recorded and analyzed the gaits (步态) of each participant. “We found that larger relative-upper-to-lower body movement was a strong predictor of aggression,” says co-author Liam Satchell, a PhD student at the University of Portsmouth. This research mathematically explains previous research where “distinctive” gait was helpful in predicting upcoming crimes through security cameras. If police officers were trained in recognizing aggressive gaits, they might be able to prevent crimes before they happened. Satchell adds, “Possibly a further scientific exploration could reveal more evidence that the behaviors of another person can be predicted from how they move through space.” One such study has come out recently. PLOS Computational Biology published a model to predict the probability of the path and timing of the parts of the movement shared by all people, and even the movements shared by people who have similar personality traits (特点) or are in the same moods — like people who are aggressive or bad-tempered. Dr. Lars Lau Rakêt, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, says, “In our model, we can combine information from thousands of movement patterns to get precise information about the structure of the movement, which ultimately allows us to judge whether the movement of an individual differs significantly from what we would expect to see in a given situation.” 8. What did the study participants experience in the research? A. They had their personality assessed. B. They completed a series of physical tasks. C. They were monitored through security cameras. D. They were observed in various social situations. 9. According to Satchell, in what field may their research results be applied? A. Scientific exploration. B. Behavioral correction. C. Security service. D. Personality development. 10. What can Dr. Lars Lau Rakêt’s model assist researchers to do? A. Recover missing information. B. Copy human behaviors. C. Adjust undesirable personalities. D. Identify unique movements. 11. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To discuss how experiments change our perspective. B. To present a new model for predicting human behavior. C. To highlight the importance of applying computer science. D. To introduce the findings about a person’s pace and personality. D According to a report in 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that non-sugar sweeteners not be used as a means of achieving weight control or reducing the risk of diseases. The guideline came as a surprise. After all, the very purpose of non-sugar sweeteners-which contain little to no calories—is to help consumers control their weight and reduce their risk of disease by replacing sugar. In its report, the WHO cited evidence that long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners is associated with an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病) and death. How is it that non-sugar sweeteners are linked to the negative health effects they’re supposed to fend off? The WHO made its recommendation after reviewing hundreds of published studies. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of these studies are observational. In such studies, subjects tend to self-report their food intake, which might not guarantee inaccuracy. More importantly, observational studies cannot determine cause and effect. Are non-sugar sweeteners causing diabetes, or are people at risk of diabetes simply more likely to consume them? Lastly, there are numerous variables that researchers can’t possibly control for in these studies that could influence the results. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) tell a different story about non-sugar sweeteners. These studies control for variables by randomly assigning people to either a treatment or control group, and they can determine cause and effect. They show that sweeteners modestly benefit weight loss and help control blood sugar, without the negative effects seen in observational research. The downside of RCTs is that they are shorter in duration, often lasting just a few months. So negative effects could appear after longer use and we wouldn’t be able to tell from these RCTs. But we also can’t tell from observational studies, which only measure correlation and not causality (因果关系) . Changing the current situation might be hard, though.

It was a hobby. But my high school English teacher, Rachel Green was determined to make me an author. Her comments were more than just about fixing grammatical errors. She wrote questions to make my essays more detailed; she underlined passages that she agreed with. Her letters always started with how proud she was that I was brave enough to write the truth and how she saw potential in me. I enjoyed her words-read them over and over. I needed this care and this recognition. I was the last Watson child to attend Jefferson High School. My sister Cheryl was known for being one of the star writers of the school newspaper. Dyan, another sister, was good at playing the piano. My sisters were involved in all types of after-school activities: cheer-leading, volleyball, track and field and student government, while I was the little one following them like a shadow. No one noticed my existence except Ms Green. Adjusting to high school was challenging, and I felt insecure. On the first day of my high school, a teacher greeted me with a hug, saying, "You have some big shoes to fill." Then she showed me the trophy case (奖杯橱窗) in the hallway. I immediately recognized two:Cheryl and Dyan. I was inspired, yes, but mostly worried. My Spanish was so-so. I got good grades but was not a straight A's student. I loved music, but I wasn't good at playing any musical instruments. Worse still, I never dared to share my story in front of my class. I tried to walk in my sisters' shoes, but they didn't fit. I tried to follow in their steps, but it's too hard, really. One day, Ms Green invited me to read my new story in front of my class in the writing lesson the next week. My heart skipped a beat and disbelief washed over me. I murmured my anxiety about being laughed at. Stroking my hair gently, Ms Green assured me that my story full of fantasy would win everyone's heart. Days seemed to be minutes. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Before I knew it, the big day came! After class, I went to my teacher's office to express my thanks. 高三年级调研考试英语试卷第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
