Some eggs are quite round; some are kind of potato-shaped; and others are longer and pointy. A new study from Princeton University in the US suggests that the shape of the egg depends on how well and how fast the female birds fly. Mary Stoddard said, “It has not gone unnoticed that birds have evolved to lay eggs with shapes that are quite diverse in form.” Mary Stoddard and her colleagues mapped the shape of different eggs. They visited many egg farmers and interviewed 3,000 bird watchers. They looked at almost 50,000 eggs from 1,400 different kinds of birds. The researchers put the shape, length and height of the eggs into a computer database. They also looked at how oval the eggs were. The researchers found that the birds that lay the most-oval-shaped eggs were the best fliers. They also found that hummingbirds lay the most-oval-shaped eggs, and sea birds lay the pointiest eggs. 阅读理解 Passage A 21. B 22. C 23. D 21. 细节理解题。根据Canalway Cavalcade部分中的“Pop down to Little Venice at the end of the week for Canalway Cavalcade, London’s biggest waterway festival. This annual event has been taking place at Little Venice since 1983 and it is expected that there will be over 100 boats moored around Warwick Avenue. It is perfect for the whole family, with its various stalls, competitions, music performances and live theatre. (周末去Little Venice参加Canalway Cavalcade，这是London最大的水路节日。这项一年一度的活动自1983年以来一直在Little Venice举行，预计将有超过100艘船停泊在沃里克大道附近。这里有各种摊位、比赛、音乐表演和现场戏剧，非常适合全家人去。)”可知，可以在Little Venice乘船观光。故选B。 22. 细节理解题。根据RHS Chelsea Flower Show部分中的“When: 21st-25th May (时间：5月21日至25日)”可知，RHS Chelsea Flower Show的举办时间为5月21日至25日，因此你可以在5月24日参观这场稀有花卉展览。故选C。 23. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中的“With the release of highly anticipated films such as Tolkien, Aladdin and Rocketman, and events like RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Canalway Cavalcade, May is set to be an exciting month for Londoners. (随着《Tolkien》、《Aladdin》和《Rocketman》等备受期待的电影的上映，以及RHS Chelsea Flower Show和Canalway Cavalcade等活动的举行，5月将是伦敦人激动人心的一个月。)”可知，这篇文章介绍了几个伦敦五月份的娱乐活动，因此最有可能出现在报纸的“娱乐”版块。故选D。 Passage B 24．C 25．D 26．B 27．A 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike many architects who chase grand buildings, Liu’s creativity is grounded in local simple things. (与许多追求宏伟建筑的建筑师不同，刘家琨的创造力植根于当地的简单事物。)”可知，他的创作基于本土根源。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“But, in 1993, a solo exhibition by a former classmate in Shanghai changed everything. (但在1993年，一位前同学在上海举办的个展改变了一切。)”以及他所说的“I realized architecture could be attractive, leading to people’s emotional responses and deep thinking. (我意识到建筑可以很有吸引力，能引发人们的情感反应和深入思考。)”可知，他因这场展览重新拾起建筑设计。故选D项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段“In 2008, after an earthquake hit Wenchuan, he repurposed the stones from the quake into bricks to rebuild homes and create a memorial. (2008年汶川地震后，他将地震中的石头重新利用制成砖块，用于重建家园和建造纪念馆。)”以及“These bricks carry memories, (这些砖块承载着记忆，)”可知，特制砖块的目的是承载记忆。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段“Unlike many architects who chase grand buildings, Liu’s creativity is grounded in local simple things. (与许多追求宏伟建筑的建筑师不同，刘家琨的创造力植根于当地的简单事物。)”和“His famous work, West Village, shows this philosophy. (他的著名作品西村就体现了这一理念。)”可知，其富有创造力；根据第四段“Liu’s care for people shines brightest after disasters. (灾难过后，刘家琨对人们的关爱表现得最为突出。)”可知，其充满爱心。故选A项。 Passage C 28．C 29．B 30．D 31．C 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“A male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers — the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found.(一项新的研究发现，一头雄性座头鲸从南美洲游到了非洲——行程超过13046公里——这是有记录以来单只鲸鱼最长的迁徙距离)”以及第三段“This whale, however, migrated between two separate breeding groups in different oceans.(然而，这只鲸鱼却在两个位于不同海洋的独立繁殖群体之间进行迁徙)”可知，迁徙的路程和路线让这头座头鲸的迁徙之旅如此令人惊讶。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“To track the whale’s migration patterns, the study authors used a platform called Happy Whale. It allows scientists, researchers and whale watchers to contribute photos of their whale sightings.(为了追踪鲸鱼的迁徙路线，研究的作者们使用了一个名为“快乐鲸鱼”的平台。该平台能让科学家、研究人员以及鲸鱼观察者们上传他们所见到的鲸鱼的照片)”可知，研究人员通过一个收集目击照片的平台追踪这头鲸鱼的迁徙路线。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our thinking is that whales always go to the place where they came from,” said Ari Friedlaender, professor of ocean sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the study. “But there has to be some movement where you get some animal explorers that decide, for whatever reason, to follow a different path.”(加州大学圣克鲁兹分校的海洋科学教授阿里·弗里德兰德（Ari Friedlaender）表示：“我们的观点是，鲸鱼总是会回到它们出生的地方。”他并未参与此项研究。“但肯定会有某些动物在移动过程中做出改变，它们可能会出于某种原因决定走一条不同的路线。”)”可知，艾里·弗里德兰德在最后一段的言论意味着有些鲸鱼可能会出于未知的原因探索新的路径。故选D。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers — the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found. The brave marine (海洋的) giant’s journey also marks the first documentation of an adult male humpback traveling between the Pacific and Indian oceans.(一项新研究发现，一头雄性座头鲸从南美洲游到了非洲——行程超过13460公里——这是有记录以来单只鲸鱼所进行的最长迁徙。这位勇敢的海洋巨兽的旅程还首次记录了一头成年雄性座头鲸在太平洋和印度洋之间游弋的情况)”可知，文章主要说明了一头雄性座头鲸从南美迁至非洲，行程超1.3万公里，创单鲸迁徙纪录，也是成年雄性首跨太平洋与印度洋，其迁徙模式打破常规。因此C选项“独行者：鲸鱼的创纪录之旅”最符合文章标题。故选C。 Passage D 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 32. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black and white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it. (为了减少屏幕使用时间，他们使用像Forest这样的应用程序来跟踪自己的习惯；为了取代iPad，他们购买价值200美元的特殊黑白设备；为了了解极简主义，他们花几个小时观看YouTube视频。令人惊讶的是，App Annie 2023年的报告显示，“数字健康”应用程序的下载量增长了140%，这证明这场反对科技的运动仍然严重依赖科技。)”可知，数字极简主义者为了达到目标更多地依赖了科技。故选B项。 33. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory made goods by praising handmade items. However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford. (这种矛盾呼应了历史模式。19世纪，英国工艺美术运动通过推崇手工制品来抵制工厂制造的商品。然而，这些手工制品变成了只有富人才能买得起的昂贵奢侈品。)”可知，提到19世纪的工艺美术运动是为了说明反科技潮流在历史上并不新鲜。故选A项。 34. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones — they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e book readers or meditation tools. (2024年斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，62%自称数字极简主义者的人在手机上花费的时间相同——他们只是从社交媒体转向了像电子书阅读器或冥想工具这样的“合规”应用程序。)”可知，斯坦福大学的研究揭示出数字极简主义者尽管做出努力，但其总的屏幕使用时间并未改变。故选D项。 35. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age. (这可能意味着在我们的数字生活中允许有一些小小的快乐时刻：工作时弹出的有趣猫咪视频，或者理解家庭成员在聊天群里反复发布健康信息其实是在表达爱。当我们不再将每一个科技选择评判为“好”或“坏”，而是专注于有意义的联系时，我们可能最终会在数字时代感到自由。)”可知，作者支持在数字生活中毫无愧疚地享受数字带来的小快乐，以此来平衡数字生活。故选C项。 七选五 36. B 37. F 38. G 39. D 40. A 36. 根据上文“If you’re the kind of person who loves helping those around you and you enjoy putting your knowledge and skills in the service of others, there are plenty of jobs that fit this description perfectly.

By joining the police, ambulance, or fire and rescue service, you can serve your community and make the world a better place.(对于那些愿意帮助别人的高强度的职业，把他们放在行动的中心。紧急服务部门的工作可能就是你想要的。通过加入警察、救护车或消防和救援服务，你可以为你的社区服务，让世界变得更美好。)”可知，上文提到的是一些紧急服务部门的职业，G项中的“A job as a first responder”和上文中的“A job in the emergency services”对应。G项：A job as a first responder is both mentally and physically demanding.(作为第一反应者的工作对精神和身体都有要求。)符合语境。故选G。 39. 根据上文“Working for a charity is the very definition of helping and supporting people in need.(为慈善机构工作就是帮助和支持有需要的人。)”和下文“In fact, the sector comprises a variety of different roles, so career opportunities are very diverse. From working in communications, HR or IT to choosing a job in administration, there are different ways to bring your contribution.(事实上，该行业包括各种不同的角色，因此职业机会非常多样化。从从事沟通、人力资源或IT工作到选择行政工作，有不同的方式来发挥你的贡献。)”可知，空处和上文形成转折关系，说明了为慈善机构工作不完全是筹款的问题。D项：Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t all about fundraising.(与普遍的看法相反，这并不完全是筹款的问题。)符合语境。故选D。 40. 根据下文“Combine your passion for helping others with the right training and skills.(将你帮助他人的热情与正确的培训和技能结合起来。)”可知，空处是作者提出的进行职业选择的建议。A项：Make a careful and proper choice.(做一个谨慎而适当的选择。)符合语境。故选A。 完形填空 41.

Keenly anticipate your prompt reply. Your sincerely, Li Hua 读后续写 Liam was so surprised that he almost dropped the guitar. He managed to steady his hands and replied with a gentle smile, “His name is Charlie.” Then he carefully picked up Charlie and began to make the puppet wave at Ava. “Charlie says hello,” he said softly. Ava’s eyes lit up slightly, and for the first time, she made eye contact with Liam. Encouraged, Liam spent the rest of the visit sharing stories about Charlie’s adventures, and Ava listened intently, even letting out a few small giggles. Before he left, Ava shyly showed him more of her drawings, and Liam praised each one sincerely. From that day on, Ava became more open, and their friendship grew with each weekly visit. Years later, Ava became a volunteer in that same hospital. Remembering how Liam’s kindness had touched her during her darkest days, she wanted to bring the same warmth to other children.

Known for designs that mix local culture with modern needs, he became the second Chinese citizen to receive this award. Unlike many architects who chase grand buildings, Liu’s creativity is grounded in local simple things. For 40 years, he has stayed in his hometown, proving local roots can grow into universal ideas. His famous work, West Village, shows this philosophy. Designed like a hotpot, where various ingredients come together in a bubbling and flavorful mix, this five-story building complex blurs the boundaries between public and private, formal and informal. Here, old men walk with pet birds, children play soccer, and young people take photos, all sharing one dynamic space. Liu’s career path was far from predetermined. Before college, he had never even heard of architecture. When filling out university applications, he simply sought a path to securing a stable job. Notably, throughout the decade after graduating, Liu almost abandoned architecture entirely, pouring his energy into writing. But, in 1993, a solo exhibition by a former classmate in Shanghai changed everything. “I realized architecture could be attractive, leading to people’s emotional responses and deep thinking.” Liu’s care for people shines brightest after disasters. In 2008, after an earthquake hit Wenchuan, he repurposed the stones from the quake into bricks to rebuild homes and create a memorial. “These bricks carry memories,” he explained. For a 15- year- old girl who loved books but died in the quake, he built a small pink memorial hall with a round skylight, letting sunlight dance like pages turning. To Liu, architecture is like writing - both need lifelong learning. “They force you to keep growing,” he smiles. Every building he creates, from earthquake memorials to community spaces, becomes what he calls “a love letter to my homeland”. Through brick and light, Liu Jiakun shows how staying true to one’s roots can shape spaces where everyone belongs. His story reminds us that greatness often grows from local soil. 24. What is Liu’s creation based on? A. Grand buildings. B. Universal ideas. C. Local roots. D. Dynamic space. 25. Why did Liu pick up architecture again? A. He needed a stable job. B. He regained his energy. C. He no longer liked writing. D. He was motivated by an exhibition. 26. What is the purpose of the specially-made bricks? A. To comfort people. B. To hold memories. C. In honor of a girl victim. D. For the sake of environment. 27. Which of following can best describe Liu Jiakun? A. Caring and creative. B. Positive and gifted. C. Sympathetic and generous. D. Passionate and humble. 南昌五中高二英语期末考试卷（共 8 页）第 4 页 C A male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa - traveling more than 13,046 kilometers - the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found. The brave marine (海洋的) giant’s journey also marks the first documentation of an adult male humpback traveling between the Pacific and Indian oceans. The humpback was first spotted off the coast of Colombia in 2013 and seen again a few years later not far from his original location. But in 2022, the whale was unexpectedly detected in the Indian Ocean near Zanzibar, off the coast of East Africa. The typical migration route for humpback whales can be longer than 8,000 kilometers in a single direction. “These animals are separate individuals, and they’ll do surprising things,” said study coauthor Ted Cheeseman, a marine biologist at Southern Cross University in Australia. “These oceans are very much connected spaces, and whales travel beyond borders.” To track the whale’s migration patterns, the study authors used a platform called Happy Whale. It allows scientists, researchers and whale watchers to contribute photos of their whale sightings. Humpback whales live in oceans around the world and are known for completing some of the longest migrations of any mammal (哺乳动物 ), but this whale’s travels are special due to his movement between two breeding grounds (繁殖地). Humpback whales typically return to specific breeding locations each year. For example, one of the humpback populations in the North Pacific migrates to feed in waters around Alaska during the summer and spends the winter in waters around the Hawaiian Islands to breed and raise baby whales. This whale, however, migrated between two separate breeding groups in different oceans. “Our thinking is that whales always go to the place where they came from,” said Ari Friedlaender, professor of ocean sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the study. “But there has to be some movement where you get some animal explorers that decide, for whatever reason, to follow a different path.” 28. What makes the humpback whale’s journey surprising? A. Its migration speed and length. B. Its migration mode and speed. C. Its migration length and pattern. D. Its migration time and route. 29. How did the researchers track the whale’s migration route? A. By attaching satellite devices to the whale. B. Through a platform collecting sighting photos. C. By monitoring whale sounds in the ocean. D. Through direct observations during ship voyages. 30. What does Ari Friedlaender’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Whales consistently return to their original breeding sites. B. Environmental changes are pushing whales to seek alternative routes. C. Migration routes are mainly driven by temperature preferences. D. Some whales might explore new paths for unexplored reasons. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Ocean Giants: The Secret Lives of Humpback Whales B. Beyond Borders: How Technology Tracks Whale Migration C. The Lone Explorer: A Whale’s Record-Breaking Journey D. Breeding Grounds Mystery: Why Whales Change Routes D In an era where “digital detox” has become a buzzword, people who call themselves digital minimalists proudly delete social apps, turn their phone screens to black-and-white, or switch to simple phones. Yet their fight against technology overload often creates a confusing cycle. To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black-and- white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it. 南昌五中高二英语期末考试卷（共 8 页）第 5 页 This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory-made goods by praising handmade items. However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford. Similarly, today’s digital minimalism, while trying to resist distractions from apps and ads, has created a huge $8. 7 billion industry selling “anti-tech” products. Examples include writing apps without ads, “smart” paper notebooks that need internet updates, and simple-looking gadgets. These products turn the idea of rebellion into something people can buy, like turning a protest sign into a fashion accessory. The real problem is showing off simplicity. A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones - they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e-book readers or meditation tools. This is similar to Instagram photos of perfectly clean desks: the empty space looks simple, but behind it are complex phone settings and app algorithms. Maybe we need a new way of thinking. Scholar Andrew Hui suggests treating technology like water - using it wisely without wasting or nervously measuring every drop. Writer Jenny Odell, in her book How to Do Nothing, argues that real freedom isn’t about running away from the digital world but finding balance within it. This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age. 32. What is the main outcome of digital minimalists’ efforts? A. They successfully reduce screen time through strict rules. B. They depend more on technology to achieve their goals. C. They inspire others to join the digital detox movement. D. They completely abandon modern devices like iPads. 33. Why is the 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement mentioned? A. To show anti-tech trends are not new in history. B. To criticize the high cost of handmade products. C. To prove that older generations valued simplicity more. D. To compare traditional crafts with modern digital tools. 34. What does the Stanford study reveal about digital minimalists? A. They prefer meditation apps to entertainment. B. Their phone settings are simpler than non-minimalists’s. C. They spend less time on social media than average users. D. Their total screen time remains unchanged despite efforts. 35. What solution does the author support for balancing digital life? A. Strictly avoiding all non-work-related technology. B. Labeling technology as either “good” or “bad.” C. Embracing small digital joys without guilt. D. Returning to pre-industrial lifestyles. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Looking for a job where you can make a difference?

But every Thursday afternoon, he walked through the double doors of the wards in Nationwide Children’s Hospital, carrying a worn guitar and a bag full of puppets (木偶). After losing his younger sister to blood cancer five years earlier, Liam started volunteering as 南昌五中高二英语期末考试卷（共 8 页）第 8 页 a hospital entertainer—quietly giving laughter where it was most needed. He wasn’t loud, or particularly funny. But he was gentle, patient, and kind. Most kids smiled eventually with his company, even the shy ones. When Liam played together with them, the kids were wild with joy. Some clapped along to his songs. Some asked to try the puppets themselves. Almost all doctors and nurses said his visits were better than medicine to some degree. But actually, there was one patient he couldn’t quite reach: Ava, a ten-year-old girl with a notebook always clutched (紧抓) to her chest. She rarely spoke, rarely smiled, and never made eye contact to anyone. She watched Liam’s puppet shows from her bed, silent and still, showing no interest in anything around at all. Her drawings, though, told another story—skies full of stars, animals in suits, and people with wings. So strange was she that other kids also kept a distance from her. Week after week, Liam kept trying. He used every puppet voice he knew, from silly, funny, to serious. He even brought in a little red hat for his main puppet, Charlie, hoping to make her laugh. Still, the girl gave no reaction. Then one Thursday, as Liam packed up to leave, he noticed something new on her nightstand: a drawing of Charlie—the puppet with the red hat—holding hands with a girl who looked a lot like Ava. Liam felt a wave of warmth and surprise flooded into his heart. He smiled and quietly left a note beside it: “Looks like he made a friend.” The next week, as Liam played his guitar as usual, Ava finally opened her mouth. “Does your puppet have a name?” she asked, so softly that he almost thought he imagined it. 注意： (1) 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； (2) 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Liam was so surprised that he almost dropped the guitar.______________________ Paragraph 2: Years later, Ava became a volunteer in that same hospital. _____________________ 听力考试正式开始。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。So what do you advise?
