B Ignacio Vasquez, a 20-year-old college student, spent a year saving money for tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour, only to find presale tickets priced at a minimum of $600 each and many at more than $l,000 — far beyond his budget. “The prices were just shockingly high.” Mr. Vasquez said and abandoned his plan. In recent years, concertgoers have paid eye-popping prices for tickets to see popular artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Oasis on tour. But Gen Z fans — those born between 1997 and 2012 — are paying much more for concert tickets than previous generations did when they were young adults. In 1996, the average ticket price for the top 100 tours was $25.8l, or about $52 adjusted for inflation(通货膨胀), according to data released by Pollstar, a trade publication that covers the live music industry, By 2024, average ticket prices had risen to $135.92. The live music industry has put today’s young adults in an impossibly expensive position. For Gen Z, spending on concerts can be budget breakers. In a survey published last year by Merge, a marketing agency, 86 percent Gen Z surveyed admitted overspending on live events. Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason. Another survey by AAA, the automobile owners group, and Bread Financial, a financial services company, found that Gen Z are willing to spend more and travel farther to attend live events than older generations are. Last year, Chricket Cho, 25, attended seven concerts in the United States and Canada. She spent $8,400 on tickets and travel for the shows. “I just feel like live music is something that makes me feel alive.” said Ms. Cho, an information technology auditor who earns about $100,000 annually. Ms. Cho said she didn’t have a price cap for buying concert tickets. But she said soaring ticket prices had made her reconsider going to concerts if the artists weren’t her “all-time favorites” like Ms. Swift or Bleachers. 4. Why does the author mention Ignacio Vasquez’s experience in the first paragraph? A. To show the high prices of concert tickets. B. To advise students against concert spending. C. To stress Beyoncé’s popularity among Gen Z fans. D. To illustrate the difficulty with concert ticket purchase. 5. What is the main reason for Gen Z’s overspending on concerts? A. They are affected by inflation. B. They are afraid of being left out. C. They long to support their favourite stars. D. They view concerts as an essential part of life 6. What can be inferred about Chricket Cho? A. She can’t afford the high concert costs. B. She regrets spending so much on concerts C. She has a spending limit on concert tickets D. She has become more selective about concerts. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Gen Z Save Money for Concert Costs B. Gen Z Beat Older Generations in Concert Love C. Sky-High Concert Prices Break Gen Z’s Budgets D. Rocketing Ticket Prices Cool Gen Z’s passion for Concerts C For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies. The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 8. What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A. Its protecting system. B. Its exposure to diseases. C. Its controlling function. D. Its connection to the body. 9. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By explaining a theory. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 10. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A. Cheaper. B. More specific. C. Safer. D. More direct. 11. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A. Brain health depends on immune changes. B. Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions. C. The brain can help enhance psychological health. D. The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. D An ancient Latin proverb says “Aquila non capit muscas” — cagles don’t hunt flies— meaning that important ones shouldn’t concern themselves with small, insignificant matters. But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles. The story starts with the acacia trees in an African wildlife area in central Kenya. Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific ant species, which in turn defend the tree against herbivores (食草动物). The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves. This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers. But these ants are in trouble. Another species called the “big-headed” ant is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants. This, in turn, sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and how lions can hunt. This ant invasion affects one thing after the other. It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores, especially elephants. The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas. The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding. This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in． “These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten and where,” said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida. The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras. The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover. Instead, they are targeting water buffalo. But this also isn’t the end of the story. Who knows what the lions’ changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line? 12. What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Seek. B. Direct. C. Assess. D. Discourage. 13. What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction? A. Damaging the hiding place for lions. B. Cooperating with “big-headed” ants. C. Protecting the acacias from herbivores. D. Starting off the disturbance of the chain. 14. The author mentions lions, zebras and water buffalo to show that ______. A. animals fall victim to bigger ones B. the ecology is on the road to recovery C. animals are co-related in the ecosystem D. species are firmly positioned in the food chain 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Why African lions are endangered. B. What ecologists find about animals. C. How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt. D. How the law of the jungle works in Africa. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One might hope that children’s capacity for boredom would be matched by an appetite for all things new — If only parenting were so easy. ____16____Here are expert-approved tips on how to get your kids to attempt new things without frightening them off.

As the car came to a sudden stop just a few feet away, I panicked, realizing I almost got killed. “What’s wrong with you?” the driver yelled, cursing angrily. “Do you want to die?” I knew what was wrong with me. I had a lifelong fear of birds. My mother claimed that, when I was an infant, I started to cry if a bird flew past my baby carriage. During my childhood, I dashed away from bird cages in pet stores. The sound of birds singing outside left me shaking. Well-meaning friends of my parents tried to break my extreme fear by taking their talkative bird from its cage and letting it fly around me. They asked me to allow the bird to stay on my arm for one second, two seconds and more to get rid of my fear. However, I’d run away from the room screaming, convinced that their noisy parrot would peck out my eyes. When I watched Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds on television, I knew my fear was reasonable. In the plot, ordinary birds tore open roofs and violently attacked people. I always knew that birds would rise up against humanity someday. One day, while I and my daughter were in the park, she noticed a small sparrow struggling to fly. Instead of running away, she gently picked it up and held it gently in her hands. She spoke softly to it, and after a few minutes, the bird regained its strength and flew away. She looked at me with a smile and said, “Mom, what a lovely bird!” Somehow, my rooted fear of birds seemed to lessen a little at that moment. Her interaction with the bird gave me a sense of hope and confidence. However, I was still attached to the fantasy that birds would attack me, bite my face, claw at my eyes, and possibly kill me. I wasn’t sure if I could change. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With much embarrassment, I admitted to my daughter the fear in my heart. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, a bird sang near my window — I knew it was time to try my daughter’s advice.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三上期9月模拟预测 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 试卷总分：150分 第 I 卷 选择题（95 分） 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的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。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.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了东南亚背包旅行团的行程安排、适宜人群、住宿条件等相关旅行信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Choose from:部分“The first half of the tour: 13 days from Thailand to Vietnam(行程的前半部分：从泰国到越南共13天)”可知，13天的游客从泰国出发；结合TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS部分中“Arrival day: · For those starting in Bangkok, you will meet the group on day 1 before 17:00 (到达日：对于从曼谷出发的游客，您将在第一天17:00前与团队会合)”可知，13天的游客应在第一天17:00前与团队会合。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Suitability部分中“General level of fitness required (需要一般的健康水平)”可知，这些旅行需要一般的健康水平，身体残疾的人可能不适合这些旅行。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Days部分中“Click on BOOK NOW to see availability (点击立即预订查看空位)”可知，此处为网页交互用语，因此这篇文章可能出现在网站上。故选B项。 B Ignacio Vasquez, a 20-year-old college student, spent a year saving money for tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour, only to find presale tickets priced at a minimum of $600 each and many at more than $l,000 — far beyond his budget. “The prices were just shockingly high.” Mr. Vasquez said and abandoned his plan. In recent years, concertgoers have paid eye-popping prices for tickets to see popular artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Oasis on tour. But Gen Z fans — those born between 1997 and 2012 — are paying much more for concert tickets than previous generations did when they were young adults. In 1996, the average ticket price for the top 100 tours was $25.8l, or about $52 adjusted for inflation(通货膨胀), according to data released by Pollstar, a trade publication that covers the live music industry, By 2024, average ticket prices had risen to $135.92. The live music industry has put today’s young adults in an impossibly expensive position. For Gen Z, spending on concerts can be budget breakers. In a survey published last year by Merge, a marketing agency, 86 percent Gen Z surveyed admitted overspending on live events. Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason. Another survey by AAA, the automobile owners group, and Bread Financial, a financial services company, found that Gen Z are willing to spend more and travel farther to attend live events than older generations are. Last year, Chricket Cho, 25, attended seven concerts in the United States and Canada. She spent $8,400 on tickets and travel for the shows. “I just feel like live music is something that makes me feel alive.” said Ms. Cho, an information technology auditor who earns about $100,000 annually. Ms. Cho said she didn’t have a price cap for buying concert tickets. But she said soaring ticket prices had made her reconsider going to concerts if the artists weren’t her “all-time favorites” like Ms. Swift or Bleachers. 4. Why does the author mention Ignacio Vasquez’s experience in the first paragraph? A. To show the high prices of concert tickets. B. To advise students against concert spending. C. To stress Beyoncé’s popularity among Gen Z fans. D. To illustrate the difficulty with concert ticket purchase. 5. What is the main reason for Gen Z’s overspending on concerts? A. They are affected by inflation. B. They are afraid of being left out. C. They long to support their favourite stars. D. They view concerts as an essential part of life 6. What can be inferred about Chricket Cho? A. She can’t afford the high concert costs. B. She regrets spending so much on concerts C. She has a spending limit on concert tickets D. She has become more selective about concerts. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Gen Z Save Money for Concert Costs B. Gen Z Beat Older Generations in Concert Love C. Sky-High Concert Prices Break Gen Z’s Budgets D. Rocketing Ticket Prices Cool Gen Z’s passion for Concerts 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讨论了Z世代面对演唱会票价飙升的现象及其消费行为，并分析了其背后的原因和影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Ignacio Vasquez, a 20-year-old college student, spent a year saving money for tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour, only to find presale tickets priced at a minimum of $600 each and many at more than $l,000 — far beyond his budget. “The prices were just shockingly high.” Mr. Vasquez said and abandoned his plan.(20岁的大学生伊Ignacio Vasquez花了一年的时间为Beyoncé即将到来的Cowboy Carter巡演的门票攒钱，结果却发现预售票每张最低600美元，许多门票超过1000美元——远远超出了他的预算。‘价格高得惊人。’Mr. Vasquez说，并放弃了他的计划。)”可知Ignacio Vasquez花了一年的时间为演唱会攒钱，结果却因为门票价格远远超出预算而不得不放弃，由此可见文章提到Ignacio Vasquez的经历是为了显示音乐会门票的高昂价格，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason.(害怕错过，即‘错失恐惧症’，被列为首要原因。)”可知，Z世代在音乐会上的消费过度的主要原因是他们害怕错过，被排除在外，故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ms. Cho said she didn’t have a price cap for buying concert tickets. But she said soaring ticket prices had made her reconsider going to concerts if the artists weren’t her “all-time favorites” like Ms. Swift or Bleachers.(Cho女士表示，她对于购买演唱会门票并未设定价格上限。但她指出，高昂的门票价格让她不得不重新考虑是否要去看演唱会，尤其是当这些艺人并非像Ms. Swift或Bleachers那样的她‘一直喜爱’的艺人时。)”可知，Chricket Cho对音乐会变得更加挑剔了，更严格筛选，故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段由Ignacio Vasquez的经历提出音乐会门票价格高的话题，由文章第二段以及第三段通过具体的数据和调查结果阐述高昂的音乐会门票价格可能会超出Z世代的预算，文章倒数第二段“Fear of missing out, or FOMO, was cited as a top reason.(“害怕错过机会”（即FOMO）这一心理因素也被列为主要原因之一。)”指出Z世代在现场音乐会活动上预算超支的主要原因，最后一段以实际例子指出天价演唱会对年轻人的影响及其对此的应对措施；纵观全文可知，文章一直在围绕着高昂的演唱会票价超出了Z世代的预算范围来展开，所以C项“Sky-High Concert Prices Break Gen Z’s Budgets(天价演唱会门票打破了Z世代的预算)”作为文章标题最为合适，故选C项。 C For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies. The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 8. What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A. Its protecting system. B. Its exposure to diseases. C. Its controlling function. D. Its connection to the body. 9. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By explaining a theory. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 10. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A. Cheaper. B. More specific. C. Safer. D. More direct. 11. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A. Brain health depends on immune changes. B. Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions. C. The brain can help enhance psychological health. D. The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一些研究人员发现大脑并不是身体中保护最严密的部分，它和身体的其它部分产生的疾病是有联系的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. (然后，大约20年前，一些研究人员开始怀疑：大脑真的与身体如此分离吗？根据越来越多的证据，答案是否定的。)”可知，研究人员主要研究大脑与身体的联系。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies. (与身体其他部位变化相关的大脑状况清单很长，而且还在不断增加。消化系统中微生物组成的变化与帕金森病等疾病有关。还有一种理论认为，怀孕期间的感染可能会导致婴儿脑部疾病。)”可知，这一段作者主要通过消化系统和怀孕期间的感染2个例子来论证自己的观点，说明大脑并不是身体中保护最严密的部分。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. (通过消化系统、心脏或其他器官进行的治疗比必须穿过血脑屏障的治疗更容易，风险更小。)”可知，不通过血脑屏障的治疗风险更小。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. (研究表明，在大脑中涉及积极情绪和动机的区域受到刺激后，小鼠的心脏更健康。大脑奖赏中心——被称为腹侧被盖区（VTA）——的激活似乎会导致免疫变化。弄清楚这种情况是如何发生的，可以帮助摧毁癌症，增强对疫苗的反应，甚至重新评估几个世纪以来一直不被认为是心理驱动的物理疾病。)”可知，大脑可能是治疗身体疾病的关键。故选D。 D An ancient Latin proverb says “Aquila non capit muscas” — cagles don’t hunt flies— meaning that important ones shouldn’t concern themselves with small, insignificant matters. But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles. The story starts with the acacia trees in an African wildlife area in central Kenya. Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific ant species, which in turn defend the tree against herbivores (食草动物). The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves. This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers. But these ants are in trouble. Another species called the “big-headed” ant is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants. This, in turn, sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and how lions can hunt. This ant invasion affects one thing after the other. It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores, especially elephants. The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas. The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding. This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in． “These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten and where,” said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida. The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras. The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover. Instead, they are targeting water buffalo. But this also isn’t the end of the story. Who knows what the lions’ changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line? 12. What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Seek. B. Direct. C. Assess. D. Discourage. 13. What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction? A. Damaging the hiding place for lions. B. Cooperating with “big-headed” ants. C. Protecting the acacias from herbivores. D. Starting off the disturbance of the chain. 14. The author mentions lions, zebras and water buffalo to show that ______. A. animals fall victim to bigger ones B. the ecology is on the road to recovery C. animals are co-related in the ecosystem D. species are firmly positioned in the food chain 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Why African lions are endangered. B. What ecologists find about animals. C. How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt. D. How the law of the jungle works in Africa. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了小蚂蚁如何影响狮子的捕猎方式。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves. This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers.(蚂蚁积极攻击并赶走试图以树叶为食的食草动物。这是非常有效的；蚂蚁不仅会对食草动物造成身体伤害，还会释放可以deter其他潜在的攻击者的化学物质)”可知，蚂蚁对合欢树具有保护作用，由此猜测蚂蚁可以释放化学物质，阻止其他潜在的攻击者，推测划线单词deter意为“阻止”，与discourage同义。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This ant invasion affects one thing after the other. It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores, especially elephants. The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas. The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding. This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in.(蚂蚁的入侵影响了一件又一件事。它使金合欢树无法抵御食草动物，尤其是大象。大象吃金合欢的速度是未被入侵地区的5到7倍。狮子在寻找食物时，没有更多的树木可以用来躲藏。这种减少的树木覆盖使狮子狩猎不那么成功，并促使它们寻找不同的狩猎区域)”可知，大象吃掉金合欢树，这会使得狮子在寻找食物时，没有更多的树木可以用来躲藏，即破坏狮子的藏身之处。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten and where,” said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida. (来自佛罗里达州的生态学家托德·帕尔默(Todd Palmer)说：“这些微小的入侵者正在将非洲生态系统联系在一起，决定谁被吃掉，在哪里被吃掉。”)”和最后一段“The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras. The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover. Instead, they are targeting water buffalo. (已经濒临灭绝的狮子正设法通过不再将注意力集中在斑马身上来应对这种情况。当然，由于没有掩护，斑马在接近时能更好地看到它们。相反，它们的目标是水牛)”可知，蚂蚁的入侵导致金合欢树大量被吃，使得狮子在狩猎时失去掩护，这导致以斑马为主食的狮子转而猎杀水牛。由此推知，作者提到狮子、斑马和水牛是为了说明动物在生态系统中是相互关联的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles. (但东非的狮子应该关注这些看似微不足道的蚂蚁，因为这些蚂蚁正在改变它们的生活方式)”可知，本文主要介绍了小蚂蚁如何影响狮子的捕猎方式。故选C。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One might hope that children’s capacity for boredom would be matched by an appetite for all things new — If only parenting were so easy. ____16____Here are expert-approved tips on how to get your kids to attempt new things without frightening them off.

(从他们知道的开始。拿一些你的孩子已经喜欢或擅长的东西，推动他们在一个新的环境中或以一种稍微不同的方式尝试。)”可知，此处是指想一想你的孩子已经喜欢或擅长什么，所以选项C“你的孩子喜欢什么？”切合文意。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Ask your children what new things they want to try out or have them write a list. Help them figure out what it is that they are worried about when they avoid new things. (问问你的孩子他们想尝试什么新事物，或者让他们写一个清单。帮助他们弄清楚，当他们回避新事物时，他们担心的是什么。)”和后文“It’s a way to help them feel in charge of their emotions and understand the connection between thoughts and actions. (这是一种帮助他们掌控自己情绪、理解思想和行为之间联系的方法。)”可知，此处是指明白自己的恐惧可以弱化恐惧，所以选项F“有时，识别和说出恐惧的行为可以帮助减少恐惧。”切合文意。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“You should both recognize your children’s fears and express certainty that they can handle the task. (你应该认识到孩子的恐惧，并确信他们能处理好这项任务。)”可知，此处是指要理解孩子的恐惧并鼓励他，所以选项A“共情并鼓励。”切合文意。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Do your children really need to try tofu or martial arts? If your kids are functioning overall, they are doing the basics and they have some friends, then be encouraging.

As the car came to a sudden stop just a few feet away, I panicked, realizing I almost got killed. “What’s wrong with you?” the driver yelled, cursing angrily. “Do you want to die?” I knew what was wrong with me. I had a lifelong fear of birds. My mother claimed that, when I was an infant, I started to cry if a bird flew past my baby carriage. During my childhood, I dashed away from bird cages in pet stores. The sound of birds singing outside left me shaking. Well-meaning friends of my parents tried to break my extreme fear by taking their talkative bird from its cage and letting it fly around me. They asked me to allow the bird to stay on my arm for one second, two seconds and more to get rid of my fear. However, I’d run away from the room screaming, convinced that their noisy parrot would peck out my eyes. When I watched Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds on television, I knew my fear was reasonable. In the plot, ordinary birds tore open roofs and violently attacked people. I always knew that birds would rise up against humanity someday. One day, while I and my daughter were in the park, she noticed a small sparrow struggling to fly. Instead of running away, she gently picked it up and held it gently in her hands. She spoke softly to it, and after a few minutes, the bird regained its strength and flew away. She looked at me with a smile and said, “Mom, what a lovely bird!” Somehow, my rooted fear of birds seemed to lessen a little at that moment. Her interaction with the bird gave me a sense of hope and confidence. However, I was still attached to the fantasy that birds would attack me, bite my face, claw at my eyes, and possibly kill me. I wasn’t sure if I could change. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With much embarrassment, I admitted to my daughter the fear in my heart. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, a bird sang near my window — I knew it was time to try my daughter’s advice.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With much embarrassment, I admitted to my daughter the fear in my heart. My voice trembled as I described the panic that overwhelmed me whenever wings fluttered near me. She listened quietly, her small hand patting mine. “Mom,” she said thoughtfully, “birds are just tiny creatures trying to live, like us. Maybe if you watch them longer, you’ll see they’re more afraid of you.” Her words echoed in my mind that night as I lay awake, remembering how gently she’d held the sparrow. The next day, a bird sang near my window — I knew it was time to try my daughter’s advice. I held my breath, fighting the urge to retreat. The bird turned its head, and then suddenly flapped its wings — but instead of attacking, it simply flew to a nearby tree branch. As I watched it clean its feathers in the sunlight, I realized something important: the bird wasn’t interested in harming me. It was just going about its daily life. For the first time, I didn’t feel afraid. Maybe, I thought, not all birds were to be feared. I could learn to coexist with these winged creatures without fear. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者对鸟类的恐惧及转变为线索，讲述了作者自幼极度害怕鸟类，认为鸟类会攻击人类，却在看到女儿温柔救助麻雀后，恐惧稍有缓解，但仍未完全克服，内心挣扎是否能改变的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我尴尬地向女儿袒露了自己内心的恐惧。”可知，第一段可描写作者尴尬地向女儿倾诉对鸟类的恐惧，声音颤抖地描述内心的恐慌，女儿安静倾听并温柔安慰，用简单的话语点出鸟类只是普通生灵，让作者彻夜思考的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，一只小鸟在我窗边鸣叫 ——我知道，是时候尝试女儿的建议了”可知，第二段可描写作者听到窗外鸟鸣后，决心尝试女儿的建议，忍住退缩的冲动观察鸟儿，发现鸟儿只是正常活动并无恶意，第一次不再感到恐惧，意识到自己能与鸟类和平共处的情景。 2. 续写线索：向女儿袒露恐惧——女儿安慰并开导——作者思考建议——听到鸟鸣决心尝试——观察鸟儿——克服恐惧——领悟共处之道 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②观察：watch/observe ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/terror ②害怕的：afraid/frightened 【点睛】[高分句型1] My voice trembled as I described the panic that overwhelmed me whenever wings fluttered near me.（运用了as引导时间状语从句，that引导定语从句修饰panic以及whenever引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] She listened quietly, her small hand patting mine.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
