C Approximately 4000 years following the last glacial period,hunter-gatherer communities encountered another sudden climate shift that forced rapid adaptation to significantly colder conditions. The 8.2 ka event,occurring 8200 years ago,brought about temperature declines of up to6C within mere decades.Meanwhile,the breakaway of a Scotland-sized landmass from the Norwegian continental shelf generated a massive tsunami that completed Britain's geographical separation from mainland Europe. Despite these severe environmental challenges,northem hemisphere (populations demonstrated remarkable toughness.Through it all,people across the northem hemisphere survived. some by packing up and moving.others by sticking it out Rick Schulting from the University of Oxford notes:These communities were not passive victims but actively adapted to changing circumstances While previous research had examined regional impacts,Schulting's comprehensive study compared archaeological evidence and environmental records across northwester Europe and souther Siberia.To understand how they adapted,scientists compared archacological findings,such as burial sites and ancient remains,with environmental evidence preserved in ancient lake beds.This combination of clues allowed them to reconstruet past changes in climate and landscape with remarkable precision. Adaptation strategies varied significantly across regions.Coastal communities in Norway's Oslo fjord expanded through increased reliance on marine resources like fish and seals,while Lake Baikal 英语试卷（共12页）第6页 6 populations showed minimal disruption due to stable water-based supplies.In contrast,northwestem Russian groups around Lake Onega exhibited unusual burial pattems suggesting strategic concentration near reliable food sources,whereas Scottish communities abandoned coastal settlements entirely,likely moving inland to survive the prolonged cold period. This ancient climate event provides crucial insights into human responses to environmental crises. As researchers emphasize,the 8.2 ka event serves as a critical case study for understanding how modern societies might address contemporary climate challenges,demonstrating that human adaptability remains essential for survival in changing environments. 28.What was one major geographical event during the 8.2 ka event? A.The formation of a new landmass B.Scotland's breaking off from Norway. C.A tsunami brought by temperature drop. D.Britain's split from Continental Europe. 29.What was the overall research method of Schulting's study? A.Analysis of archaeological findings. B.Cross-disciplinary data correlation. C.Computer-simulated climate modeling. D.Comparison with former research. 30.What do the varied adaptation strategies suggest? A.Strategies relied on resources. B.Coastal food became lacking. C.Water access boosted survival. D.Customs signaled survival advantage. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Ancient Tsunami Isolated Britain B.Origins and Effects of the 8.2 Ka Event C.Stone-Age Diets Beating Climate Change D.Ancient Lessons for Modern Climate Crises D "Iwrite to find out what I'm thinking."wrote the great American joumalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth:the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise,.logical thought..What sounds coherent(有条理的)when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim.Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using Al assistance.The findings were clear:Al-assisted writers"consistently underperformed at brain,verbal. and behaviourl eve"They demonstrated that we need to writeinrdeto think deeply. 英语试卷（共12页）第7页 7 This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy.Childhood reading has reached record lows,with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year.Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries.Notably,average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s,along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities-a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong's influential work"Orality and Literacy"illuminates why writing is essential.He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece's intellectual revolution.Oral cultures must "think memorable thoughts'”,relying on rhyme,,emotion,and cliche(陈词滥调)to preserve knowledge,. Writing,by contrast,allows for precise,complex statements that can be examined,reviewed,and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age,no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book.While the intemet offers fragmented (information,books provide rich context and sustained logical connections.Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration-it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content,we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning.Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought-a habit that unites history's greatest minds.Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms,we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 32.What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A.Revealing flaws in speech. B.Recording spoken words C.Organizing thoughts. D.Ensuring fluency. 33.What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A.It ensures greater objectivity. B.It makes for logical statements. C.It preserves knowledge longer. D.It requires"memorable thoughts". 34.Why does the author describe reading asthinking in dialogue with the text"? A.To show its interactive feature. B.To contrast with online reading. C.To underline its logical structure. D.To highlight its cultural relevance. 35.What is the author's attitude towards people's reasoning capacity? A.Dismissive. B.Concerned. C.Critical. D.Skeptical. 英语试卷（共12页）第8页 8 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阆读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项这个有两项为多余 选项。 Are you an"person"oranpersonThese two personality labels in particular are widely discussed onine.They are part of a popular persoty test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator,r MBTI.36""and"E"refer to"introverted"and"extroverted",respectively. 37 This is a common point in many online discussions.For example,when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends,they might become more social like an"E"person. According to psychologists,this idea of temporarily switching personalities is called"masking" .38"Human beings want to feel they belong.and they might become people-pleasers to do so," wrote the MasterClass website. Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone's personality seems fun.39 My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article thatPpeople" don't like to make or stick to plans,so I said to her,"You don't seem like aPperson'.""Why?"she asked back."Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?"It was then I realized I'd taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends.40Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person.And those four letters of yours don't define who you are. A.And that's all it is-for fun. B.However,I went too far at one time. C.Unfortunately,I was once misled by it myself. D.That is hiding your true personality in specific situations. E.Even someone who is typically quiet can act outgoing at times F.There are 16 results in total,all of which consist of four letters. G.Therefore,it is essential to remember that these labels are not absolute. 英语试卷（共12页）第9页 9 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） At the age of7,I needed to get a vaccination(接种疫苗)before school.I was scared,but the promise of a balloon made the pain 41 I bravely took the shot.As I waited,my 42 filled with amazing plans for that balloon.I would tie the balloon to my doll's arm,and 43she was floating away,only to 44her at the last minute.Next,I planned to rub it on my hair until it stood on end,as if I were a rock star Then,the doctor returned with a45expression.He announced the tragic news:"I'm sorry,46 we're out of balloons."All my big plans for that balloon were 47 instantly.I was heartbroken.
