B Junior Atreyee Ghosh, a biochemistry and psychology major, first knew about the Brain Exercise Initiative (BEI) from a friend. She had volunteered with seniors in Georgia since her freshman year and wanted to keep doing this work at the University of Rochester. So she started a BEI chapter in Rochester. Alzheimer’s is a serious brain disease affecting 55 million people worldwide. BEI sends volunteers to help elderly people with Alzheimer’s do brain exercise packets. These packets have three parts: writing (with easy questions like “who’s on the dollar bill”), math (simple tasks), and reading (a short passage for discussion). Ghosh said volunteers don’t just help with exercises but also build relationships with the elderly. The research behind BEI also had to be validated by Dr. O’Banion, a professor at URMC, before the chapter could be given government permission. The research showed that these exercises can help people with Alzheimer’s. After consistently completing the exercises, “their cognitive ability really improved,” Ghosh said. These exercises are used at more than 1,400 care homes. Junior Ali Al Qazzaz, a microbiology major, joined BEI after reading its research. He’s a pre-medical student, interested in Alzheimer’s, and wants to study it while working with patients. The chapter began recruiting volunteers in the spring of 2025. Before volunteering, members practiced with role-plays to handle problems. They also co-sponsored Family Science Day, playing memory games with kids. On April 6, the executive board (E-Board) went to St. Ann’s Community for a trial. The BEI chapter is in conversation with Brookdale Senior Living and hopes to send volunteers there too. Their long-term goal is to get more UR students to help elders with Alzheimer’s. To know about volunteering, follow their Instagram: @rochester.bei. 4. What can we know about Atreyee Ghosh according to the first paragraph? A. Her wish made her start the BEI chapter. B. She began volunteering with seniors at UR. C. She changed the major to psychology. D. She was introduced to BEI by a professor of Georgia. 5. What can be inferred about the BEI’s approach? A. It primarily focused on new medicines for Alzheimer’s. B. It combines cognitive stimulation with social interaction. C. Its complex mental exercises can improve cognitive ability. D. It requires volunteers with a professional medical background. 6. What does the word “validated” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Criticized. B. Simplified. C. Invented. D. Confirmed. 7. What is the next plan of the BEI chapter? A. It will end cooperation with St. Ann’s Community. B. It may expand to Brookdale Senior Living. C. It won’t recruit new volunteers in the future. D. It will stop sponsoring Family Science Day. C Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management. Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts. Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. 8. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot? A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions. B. Because their population has declined significantly. C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters. D. Because they are hiding from human beings. 9. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support? A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money. C It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues. 10. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline? A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors. B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat. C. It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness. D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises. B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered. C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises. D. The impact of climate change on tortoises. D Saturn, the ringed planet, now boasts 274 moons after 128 new ones were officially recognized, nearly doubling its previous total of 146. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the global authority on such classifications, confirmed the discovery on March 11, though the moons were first detected in 2023 by a team of astronomers from China, Canada, the U.S., and France using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Most of these newly confirmed moons are irregular and tiny, just a few miles across. By contrast, our moon has a diameter of 2,159 miles (3,475 kilometers). But they do have proven orbits around Saturn, which is a key element of official moon qualification. Dr. Brett Gladman, professor at the University of British Columbia, explained in a statement: “These moons are a few kilometers in size and are likely all fragments of a smaller number of originally captured moons that were broken apart by violent collisions, either with other Saturnian moons or with passing comets.” This discovery marks another milestone for the team, which previously added 62 moons to Saturn’s count between 2019 and 2021 using the same CFHT. Lead researcher Dr. Edward Ashton, a postdoctoral fellow at Academia Sinica’s Institute, noted their strategy: “With the knowledge that more moons were likely to exist, we revisited the same sky fields for three consecutive (连续的) months in 2023 — and found 128 new ones.” The observation of Saturn's moons has a rich history: Titan, its first known moon, was discovered in 1655 by Christiaan Huygens, followed by four more discovered by Jean-Dominique Cassini in the following decades. William Herschel spotted Mimas and Enceladus in 1789. Over the subsequent 200 years, technological improvements — including the invention of photography, the development of massive telescopes, and the launch of space probes like the Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and Cassini — allowed us to see even more of Saturn's moons. Yet, Ashton cautions that current technology may have reached its limit: “We can’t do much better than what’s been done for moons around Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with existing technology.” For now, Saturn reigns with 274 known moons, far outpacing Jupiter’s 95. 12. What is the core criterion for becoming a Saturnian moon? A. A diameter larger than a few miles. B. A confirmed orbit around Saturn. C. Discovery by the international team. D. Origin from collisions with comets. 13. What does Dr. Brett Gladman suggest about the new moons? A. They orbit Saturn in a regular pattern. B. They were first detected by the CFHT in 2019. C. They are larger than most previously known Saturnian moons. D. They were formed from broken fragments of older moons. 14. According to Ashton, how is the future of moon discovery? A. The number of known moons will double to 274. B. More moons will be found with the current telescopes. C. New discoveries will depend entirely on space probes. D. Technological advancements may lead to new discoveries. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A To compare the number of moons between Saturn and Jupiter. B. To explain the process of Saturn’s moons’ formation. C. To report the discovery of 128 new moons around Saturn. D. To argue for the need of more advanced technology. 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。 Hobbies: Discover and Enjoy Challenging and fun hobbies have the power to make us healthier and happier. ____16____ Such pursuits contribute to more sound sleep, reduced stress, greater life satisfaction and an expanded social circle. But where do you start? The following experts’ suggestions can help you discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love. Ask yourself how you want to feel. Matthew J. Zawadzki, an associate professor of health psychology at the University of California, suggests asking yourself how you want an activity to make you feel. Do you want to feel mentally engaged, distracted or socially connected? ____17____ Have an open mind. Keeping an open mind and not dismissing potential hobbies is key even if they seem outside your comfort zone, emphasizes Katina Bajaj, a clinical psychology researcher. ____18____ It could introduce you to something you never guessed you’d love. “We’re born to be curious and open. But in a very burned-out world, we forget that. It’s the first thing to go.” Bajaj says. ____19____ When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? The answer could point you toward an appealing hobby, says Kate Hanselman, an experienced expert in psychology. Looking back on childhood dreams can wake up a neglected passion. Start small. ____20____ Ease in to figure out if it’s right for you, advises Rebecca Weiler, a mental health counselor. “You can always do more later,” she says. If you’re wondering if pottery might be a good fit, sign up for a one-time pottery class rather than a set of eight. Taking small steps can let you test a new hobby without overcommitting yourself. Think of discovering new hobbies as an adventure that will add fulfilling new dimensions to your life, and enjoy the process. A. Go back to school. B. Take a trip back in time. C. Seize the opportunity when someone invites you to an event. D. They are not just time-filling activities but meaningful pursuits. E. What specific skills do you hope to develop through the activity?

His grandma, Joy, 78, also showed up. But Brad had not seen or spoken to Joy in six years because she had broken his heart due to family conflicts. Brad saw his grandmother walk unsteadily into the Duncan Falls church. She had not been well and was barely able to stand. Brad slowly walked over to her and helped her to her seat. The two didn't say much, just a few pleasant words. No hug or smile to show they were close. Brad's earliest memory of Joy was at the age of 3. They walked to Blue Rock State Park. Grandma Joy helped him lift rocks in the creek (小溪) to find crawfish (龙虾) . They held them in hands and talked about how beautiful it was being in nature. As he grew older, Grandma Joy was the one person in his world he could count on. But their close relationship was no longer as close as it used to be. Six months after the wedding, Brad hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail. His thoughts were his only companion, and he found himself thinking a lot about his grandmother and the time they spent at Blue Rock State Park looking for crawfish. It puzzled him why that memory in particular stayed with him. After hiking, Brad decided to visit Grandma Joy because he thought it would be a lifelong regret if he didn't contact his grandma. He called her and Joy invited him over. It would be their first real conversation in six years. Brad found that she looked good and her health improved. To break the silence, Brad shared his hiking experience. Grandma Joy admired and said one of her regrets was that she'd never had the chance to see more of nature. 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。 Brad asked if she wanted to go to Blue Rock State Park. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After this trip, they continued their journey to different national parks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密启用前 2025—2026学年鼎尖名校大联考 高三英语试题 满分: 150分 考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2. 选择题必须使用2B 铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0. 5毫米黑色字迹签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清晰。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4. 作图可先使用铅笔画出，确定后必须用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑。 5. 保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

She had volunteered with seniors in Georgia since her freshman year and wanted to keep doing this work at the University of Rochester. So she started a BEI chapter in Rochester. Alzheimer’s is a serious brain disease affecting 55 million people worldwide. BEI sends volunteers to help elderly people with Alzheimer’s do brain exercise packets. These packets have three parts: writing (with easy questions like “who’s on the dollar bill”), math (simple tasks), and reading (a short passage for discussion). Ghosh said volunteers don’t just help with exercises but also build relationships with the elderly. The research behind BEI also had to be validated by Dr. O’Banion, a professor at URMC, before the chapter could be given government permission. The research showed that these exercises can help people with Alzheimer’s. After consistently completing the exercises, “their cognitive ability really improved,” Ghosh said. These exercises are used at more than 1,400 care homes. Junior Ali Al Qazzaz, a microbiology major, joined BEI after reading its research. He’s a pre-medical student, interested in Alzheimer’s, and wants to study it while working with patients. The chapter began recruiting volunteers in the spring of 2025. Before volunteering, members practiced with role-plays to handle problems. They also co-sponsored Family Science Day, playing memory games with kids. On April 6, the executive board (E-Board) went to St. Ann’s Community for a trial. The BEI chapter is in conversation with Brookdale Senior Living and hopes to send volunteers there too. Their long-term goal is to get more UR students to help elders with Alzheimer’s. To know about volunteering, follow their Instagram: @rochester.bei. 4. What can we know about Atreyee Ghosh according to the first paragraph? A. Her wish made her start the BEI chapter. B. She began volunteering with seniors at UR. C. She changed the major to psychology. D. She was introduced to BEI by a professor of Georgia. 5. What can be inferred about the BEI’s approach? A. It primarily focused on new medicines for Alzheimer’s. B. It combines cognitive stimulation with social interaction. C. Its complex mental exercises can improve cognitive ability. D. It requires volunteers with a professional medical background. 6. What does the word “validated” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Criticized. B. Simplified. C. Invented. D. Confirmed. 7. What is the next plan of the BEI chapter? A. It will end cooperation with St. Ann’s Community. B. It may expand to Brookdale Senior Living. C. It won’t recruit new volunteers in the future. D. It will stop sponsoring Family Science Day. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了大三学生Atreyee Ghosh在罗切斯特大学创办BEI分会，组织志愿者帮助阿尔茨海默症患者做脑力锻炼。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“She had volunteered with seniors in Georgia since her freshman year and wanted to keep doing this work at the University of Rochester. So she started a BEI chapter in Rochester.(她从大一开始就在佐治亚州从事老年人志愿工作，并希望继续在罗切斯特大学做这项工作。于是，她在罗切斯特创办了一个BEI分会)”可知，Atreyee Ghosh在佐治亚州时就一直做志愿工作，进入罗切斯特大学后希望延续此工作，于是创办了BEI分会。由此可推测出，她的意愿促使她创办BEI分会。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“BEI sends volunteers to help elderly people with Alzheimer’s do brain exercise packets. These packets have three parts: writing (with easy questions like “who’s on the dollar bill”), math (simple tasks), and reading (a short passage for discussion). Ghosh said volunteers don’t just help with exercises but also build relationships with the elderly.(BEI派志愿者帮助患有阿尔茨海默症的老年人做脑力锻炼套餐。这些套餐有三个部分：写作（有简单的问题，如“谁在美元钞票上”）、数学（简单的任务）和阅读（一段简短的讨论文章）。Ghosh说，志愿者不仅帮助锻炼，还与老年人建立关系)”可知，BEI志愿者不仅帮助老人完成写作、数学、阅读脑力锻炼，还与他们建立关系。由此可推测出，BEI将认知锻炼和社交结合。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“Dr. O’Banion, a professor at URMC(O’Banion博士，芝加哥大学医学中心的教授)”和“before the chapter could be given government permission(在分会得到政府许可之前)”可推知，O’Banion教授是权威人士，在分会得到政府许可之前，BEI背后的研究必须得到O’Banion教授的证实，确定其真实性。validate意为“证实”，与confirm意思一致。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The BEI chapter is in conversation with Brookdale Senior Living and hopes to send volunteers there too.(BEI分会正在与布鲁克代尔养老院会谈，希望也能向那里派遣志愿者)”可知，它想要将志愿服务延伸到布鲁克代尔养老院（Brookdale Senior Living）。故选B。 C Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management. Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts. Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. 8. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot? A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions. B. Because their population has declined significantly. C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters. D. Because they are hiding from human beings. 9. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support? A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money. C. It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues. 10. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline? A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors. B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat. C. It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness. D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises. B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered. C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises. D. The impact of climate change on tortoises. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国西南部莫哈韦沙漠陆龟数量大幅减少的现状、原因，以及其重要的生态作用和相关保护措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. (在美国西南部，要找到一只莫哈韦沙漠陆龟正变得越来越难。这些陆龟长着圆顶状且有花纹的龟壳，分布于加利福尼亚州、内华达州部分地区、亚利桑那州以及墨西哥西北部。然而，几十年来，它们的栖息地因人类开发活动而不断丧失。此外，疾病和气候变化也使它们面临生存危机，对其生存构成了威胁)”以及第二段中的“Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. (据估计，自1984年以来，在陆龟生活的五个主要地区中，有四个地区约90%的陆龟已经消失)”可知，莫哈韦沙漠陆龟更难被发现是因为它们的数量大幅减少了，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. (然而，前美国鱼类和野生动物管理局官员克里斯蒂娜・德雷克表示，联邦政府的支持面临挑战——美国鱼类和野生动物管理局失去了许多工作人员，其预算可能会被削减，而且这种已经在沙漠中生活了至少1500万年的陆龟预计不会获得更多的联邦资金)”可知，克里斯蒂娜・德雷克的话表明，由于人员和预算问题，联邦政府对陆龟的支持是有限的，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is ‘death from a thousand cuts’ — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. (科学家表示，陆龟数量的减少是‘千刀万剐式的死亡’，原因包括车辆碰撞、栖息地丧失、气候变化等等)”可推知，莫哈韦沙漠陆龟数量减少是多种因素复杂结合的结果，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. (在美国西南部，要找到一只莫哈韦沙漠陆龟正变得越来越难)”以及最后一段“Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. (尽管现在一天看到两只陆龟是罕见而特别的，但非营利组织将继续为保护它们而奋斗)”可知，本文主要介绍了莫哈韦沙漠龟数量减少的现状、原因，以及各方为保护它们所做的努力。故选C。 D Saturn, the ringed planet, now boasts 274 moons after 128 new ones were officially recognized, nearly doubling its previous total of 146. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the global authority on such classifications, confirmed the discovery on March 11, though the moons were first detected in 2023 by a team of astronomers from China, Canada, the U.S., and France using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Most of these newly confirmed moons are irregular and tiny just a few miles across. By contrast, our moon has a diameter of 2,159 miles (3,475 kilometers). But they do have proven orbits around Saturn, which is a key element of official moon qualification. Dr. Brett Gladman, professor at the University of British Columbia, explained in a statement: “These moons are a few kilometers in size and are likely all fragments of a smaller number of originally captured moons that were broken apart by violent collisions, either with other Saturnian moons or with passing comets.” This discovery marks another milestone for the team, which previously added 62 moons to Saturn’s count between 2019 and 2021 using the same CFHT. Lead researcher Dr. Edward Ashton, a postdoctoral fellow at Academia Sinica’s Institute, noted their strategy: “With the knowledge that more moons were likely to exist, we revisited the same sky fields for three consecutive (连续的) months in 2023 — and found 128 new ones.” The observation of Saturn's moons has a rich history: Titan, its first known moon, was discovered in 1655 by Christiaan Huygens, followed by four more discovered by Jean-Dominique Cassini in the following decades. William Herschel spotted Mimas and Enceladus in 1789. Over the subsequent 200 years, technological improvements — including the invention of photography, the development of massive telescopes, and the launch of space probes like the Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and Cassini — allowed us to see even more of Saturn's moons. Yet, Ashton cautions that current technology may have reached its limit: “We can’t do much better than what’s been done for moons around Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with existing technology.” For now, Saturn reigns with 274 known moons, far outpacing Jupiter’s 95. 12. What is the core criterion for becoming a Saturnian moon? A. A diameter larger than a few miles. B. A confirmed orbit around Saturn. C. Discovery by the international team. D. Origin from collisions with comets. 13. What does Dr. Brett Gladman suggest about the new moons? A. They orbit Saturn in a regular pattern. B. They were first detected by the CFHT in 2019. C They are larger than most previously known Saturnian moons. D. They were formed from broken fragments of older moons. 14. According to Ashton, how is the future of moon discovery? A. The number of known moons will double to 274. B. More moons will be found with the current telescopes. C. New discoveries will depend entirely on space probes. D. Technological advancements may lead to new discoveries. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare the number of moons between Saturn and Jupiter. B. To explain the process of Saturn’s moons’ formation. C. To report the discovery of 128 new moons around Saturn. D. To argue for the need of more advanced technology. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道土星新增128颗卫星获认证，总数达274颗及相关发现细节。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But they do have proven orbits around Saturn, which is a key element of official moon qualification.(但它们确实有被证实围绕土星运行的轨道，这是官方认定卫星资格的一个关键要素)”可知，成为土星卫星的核心标准是围绕土星有被证实的运行轨道。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dr. Brett Gladman, professor at the University of British Columbia, explained in a statement: “These moons are a few kilometers in size and are likely all fragments of a smaller number of originally captured moons that were broken apart by violent collisions, either with other Saturnian moons or with passing comets.”(不列颠哥伦比亚大学的布雷特·格拉德曼博士在一份声明中解释说：“这些卫星直径只有几公里，很可能都是最初被捕获的少数卫星的碎片，这些卫星在与土星的其他卫星或经过的彗星发生剧烈碰撞后破碎了。”)”可知，布雷特·格拉德曼博士认为新发现的卫星是由更古老的卫星碎片形成的。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Yet, Ashton cautions that current technology may have reached its limit: “We can’t do much better than what’s been done for moons around Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with existing technology.”(然而，阿什顿提醒说，目前的技术可能已经达到了极限：“就土星、天王星和海王星周围的卫星而言，用现有的技术，我们能做的已经达到极限了。”)”可推知，阿什顿认为目前的技术可能已经达到极限，由此可推测未来卫星的新发现可能依赖于技术进步。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Saturn, the ringed planet, now boasts 274 moons after 128 new ones were officially recognized, nearly doubling its previous total of 146.(土星，这颗有环的行星，在128颗新卫星被正式确认后，现在拥有274颗卫星，几乎是之前146颗卫星总数的一倍。)”以及第二段“The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the global authority on such classifications, confirmed the discovery on March 11, though the moons were first detected in 2023 by a team of astronomers from China, Canada, the U.S., and France using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.(国际天文学联合会（IAU）是此类分类的全球权威机构，该机构于3月11日证实了这一发现，尽管这些卫星是2023年由来自中国、加拿大、美国和法国的一组天文学家在夏威夷莫纳克亚山顶的加拿大-法国-夏威夷望远镜（CFHT）首次发现的)”可知，文章主要是为了报道土星周围新发现128颗卫星的事件。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。 Hobbies: Discover and Enjoy Challenging and fun hobbies have the power to make us healthier and happier. ____16____ Such pursuits contribute to more sound sleep, reduced stress, greater life satisfaction and an expanded social circle.

His grandma, Joy, 78, also showed up. But Brad had not seen or spoken to Joy in six years because she had broken his heart due to family conflicts. Brad saw his grandmother walk unsteadily into the Duncan Falls church. She had not been well and was barely able to stand. Brad slowly walked over to her and helped her to her seat. The two didn't say much, just a few pleasant words. No hug or smile to show they were close. Brad's earliest memory of Joy was at the age of 3. They walked to Blue Rock State Park. Grandma Joy helped him lift rocks in the creek (小溪) to find crawfish (龙虾) . They held them in hands and talked about how beautiful it was being in nature. As he grew older, Grandma Joy was the one person in his world he could count on. But their close relationship was no longer as close as it used to be. Six months after the wedding, Brad hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail. His thoughts were his only companion, and he found himself thinking a lot about his grandmother and the time they spent at Blue Rock State Park looking for crawfish. It puzzled him why that memory in particular stayed with him. After hiking, Brad decided to visit Grandma Joy because he thought it would be a lifelong regret if he didn't contact his grandma. He called her and Joy invited him over. It would be their first real conversation in six years. Brad found that she looked good and her health improved. To break the silence, Brad shared his hiking experience. Grandma Joy admired and said one of her regrets was that she'd never had the chance to see more of nature. 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。 Brad asked if she wanted to go to Blue Rock State Park. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After this trip, they continued their journey to different national parks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Brad asked if she wanted to go to Blue Rock State Park. Joy’s eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded eagerly. The next day, they set off for the park. As they walked along the creek, memories flooded back. Joy helped Brad lift rocks, just like old times, and they laughed and talked, sharing stories from the past. The beauty of nature and the warmth of their reunion made the day unforgettable. After this trip, they continued their journey to different national parks. They explored mountains, forests, and lakes, creating new memories together. Brad realized that family conflicts were insignificant compared to the love and connection they shared. Joy, too, felt grateful for the chance to reconnect with her grandson. Their bond grew stronger with each adventure, proving that love and forgiveness can heal even the deepest wounds. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Brad与祖母Joy因家庭矛盾而疏远，但在一次婚礼重逢后，Brad决定修复与祖母的关系，并带她重游童年记忆中的蓝岩州立公园，随后两人继续探索不同国家公园的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Brad问她是否想去蓝岩州立公园。”可知，第一段可描写Brad邀请祖母去蓝岩州立公园，以及他们在公园中的活动，如回忆童年、分享故事等。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次旅行后，他们继续前往不同的国家公园。” 可知，第二段可描写Brad和祖母继续探索不同国家公园的经历，以及他们对彼此关系的感悟和珍惜。 2.续写线索：Brad 提出去公园邀请——Joy 欣然同意并赴约——公园重拾往日回忆——关系初步缓和——后续探访多个国家公园——亲情深化、矛盾释然 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①动身出发：set off/set out/start off ②帮助某人：help sb./give sb. a hand ③分享故事：share stories/exchange tales/tell each other stories 情绪类 ①eyes lit up/eyes brightened up/eyes sparkled with excitement ②感激：feel grateful/show appreciation/be thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】As they walked along the creek, memories flooded back.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Their bond grew stronger with each adventure, proving that love and forgiveness can heal even the deepest wounds.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
