Now, as one of the first doctoral students at Arizona State University, Kaiser is pursuing impactful work to protect the integrity of marine ecosystems. “I became inspired by ocean research when I realized our marine ecosystems are closely connected to life on land, providing valuable resources that our world could not function without,” Kaiser said. Kaiser’s research focuses on the challenges of bycatch, the unwanted animals that accidentally get caught in fishing nets alongside the target species. Bycatch is a long-standing challenge for fisheries — it threatens marine ecosystems and harms profits for individuals whose living relies on what they catch. Kaiser has s been enhancing international collaboration between fisheries, scientists and environmentalists. “Collaboration is essential in ocean research,” she said. “Without input from diverse perspectives, sustainable and just mindsets toward ocean conservation cannot be achieved.” In 2020, she joined Jesse Senko’s research team in La Paz, Mexico, to work with local fisheries to develop innovative technologies for reducing sea turtle bycatch. “La Paz strengthened my curiosity about the mysteries of the ocean frontier,” Kaiser said. “As environmental changes continue to damage Earth, the ocean will continue to have more and more everyday relevance, not just for those who live near the coast.” Kaiser has also teamed up with Lekelia Jenkins, a professor at her university, to explore how dance can be included in science communication and conservation learning. Their process involved educating people about sea turtle deaths caused by bycatch and then encouraging these individuals to explore the themes of conservation through movement. “Ocean science offers limitless possibilities for creativity,” Kaiser said. “Although the issues relating to oceans seem discouraging, there is always room to create hope and joy.” Kaiser stressed the importance of creating an environment of respect and awareness of the relationship between people and our oceans, regardless of how close they live to the coasts. The future of the oceans is our future, and we can create that future through the creative mind that lives in each and every one of us,” she said. 4. What do we know about the impact of bycatch? A. It destroys the native habitats of land species. B. It causes fishermen to suffer economic losses. C. It leads to a sharp decrease in common species. D. It forces fishermen to cooperate with each other. 5. What has Kaiser learned from her research work in La Paz? A. More people are influenced by the ocean. B. She needs to shift the focus of her research. C. Only teamwork can tackle bycatch completely. D Sea turtles should be classified as endangered species. 6. What was the purpose of Kaiser and Lekelia Jenkins’ collaboration? A. To improve traditional fishing methods. B. To make marine life known through dance. C. To collect money to save endangered species. D. To raise public awareness about ocean protection. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The impacts of bycatch. B. Kaiser’s career development. C. Kaiser’s efforts in marine research. D. The troubled state of marine ecosystems. C Keeping indoor space comfortable costs us a lot. About half the energy Americans use in their homes goes towards heating and cooling. Although many buildings have walls packed with insulation (隔热材料) to maintain an ideal temperature, others, especially old buildings, are energy inefficient. As global temperatures increase, scientists are developing ways to maximize the heat released through radiative cooling, a natural phenomenon that makes outdoor temperatures drop at night and helps cool the earth as a whole. Among these techniques are films that can wrap around structures so they release more heat. But many areas of the world also experience bitter winters. “You don’t want to have something that is rapidly cooling off your house then,” scientist Peter Bermel says. Now, scientists have developed a color-changing film to handle the dilemma. The new film works by taking advantage of radiative cooling. Everything around us, including our bodies and buildings, is constantly sending out heat in the form of mid-infrared radiation (中红外辐射). It starts in the cooling mode. Beneath a thin electrical conductor lies a small reservoir (贮液槽) of water with copper ions dissolved (溶解的铜离子) inside. In this state, the device naturally radiates heat, cooling the inside of the building. Then, when a small electric charge is applied to the conductor layer, the dissolved copper settles on its surface, forming a thin layer over the reservoir. Because copper sends out little of the mid-infrared heat it absorbs, the device now traps heat. This change can happen again and again, although repeated use means that both cooling and heating modes are less efficient. The authors estimate that if this technology is applied in a film to the outside of a building, it could save 8.4 percent of the energy used for heating and cooling in climates that experience a drastic swing in temperatures throughout the year. The building would also change color, from dark white in the summer to metallic copper in the winter. The new system seems promising, especially compared with some other research groups’ previous attempts to create an adjustable device. Some of the materials considered for use in similar devices were highly flammable and unsuited for enveloping a building. But this doesn’t mean communities will be filled with eco-buildings covered in such films given their high price. 8. What is the problem mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Americans use too much energy to keep their home comfortable. B. The US has low energy efficiency in indoor temperature control. C. Older buildings in the US can hardly keep comfortable temperature. D. Existing insulation cannot keep US building at the right temperature. 9. Why did the scientists develop the new film? A. To help fight against global warming. B. To enable buildings to release more heat. C. To make use of the heat generated by radiative cooling. D. To keep buildings at a comfortable temperature at all times. 10. What is the major advantage of the new film? A. It is more durable than other films. B. It costs less to have the same effect. C. It changes color based on the indoor temperature. D. It can switch between high and low heat emission. 11. What is the author’s general attitude towards the new invention? A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. D A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting was the perceived need to “accelerate breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this discussion was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. Gay’s troubles came after Stanford University President Marc Tessier Lavigne stepped down, after an internal investigation concluded that his neuroscience research had “multiple problems” and “fell below customary standards of scientific rigor.” Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the phenomenon of high-profile scholars correcting and withdrawing papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly. In recent years we’ve seen important papers withdrawn because of questionable data or methods. In one interesting case, Frances H. Arnold, who shared the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, voluntarily withdrew a paper when her lab was unable to reproduce her results — but after the paper .had been published. In an open apology, she stated that she was “a bit busy” when the paper was submitted and “did not do my job well.” Arnold’s honesty is admirable, but it raises a question: Are scholars at highly competitive places such as Harvard and Standford rushing to publishing rather than taking the time to do their work right? It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under enormous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly. However, nearly a century passed between biochemist Friedrich Miescher’s identification of the DNA molecule and suggestion that it might be involved in inheritance and the clarification of its double-helix (双螺旋) structure in the 1950s. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift. There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Another study found 265 academic authors — two thirds of whom were in the medical and life sciences-published a paper every five days on average. The numbers suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down — not speed up — if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust. 12. What does the word “rigor” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Strictness and precision. B. Fame and popularity. C. Quickness and convenience. D. Flexibility and openness. 13. DNA and continental drift are examples to demonstrate that . A. good science takes time B. science advances with time C. research across disciplines is needed D. breakthroughs seldom happen by chance 14. Which of the following situations can best reflect the author’s concern? A. A researcher fails to produce evidence for his paper. B. A university loses young talent due to a lack of funding. C. An editor overlooks the errors in a writer’s research methods. D. A scholar publishes a paper with limited data to gain recognition. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Danger of Fast Science. B. The Crisis among Top Scientists. C. The Battle between Quality and Quantity. D. The Principle behind Research Assessments. 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。 Ugh! You swear you had your keys a second ago, and now they’ re just gone!

She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) . She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river. Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector. The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”. On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk (大块) of ice, unable to crawl onto it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年秋学期高三年级第一次质量检测试卷 英语学科 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 命题人：王芸 金艳秋 张莎 审题人：核心备课组 第一部分 听力（共20题；每题1.5分，满分30分） 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.

Now, as one of the first doctoral students at Arizona State University, Kaiser is pursuing impactful work to protect the integrity of marine ecosystems. “I became inspired by ocean research when I realized our marine ecosystems are closely connected to life on land, providing valuable resources that our world could not function without,” Kaiser said. Kaiser’s research focuses on the challenges of bycatch, the unwanted animals that accidentally get caught in fishing nets alongside the target species. Bycatch is a long-standing challenge for fisheries — it threatens marine ecosystems and harms profits for individuals whose living relies on what they catch. Kaiser has s been enhancing international collaboration between fisheries, scientists and environmentalists. “Collaboration is essential in ocean research,” she said. “Without input from diverse perspectives, sustainable and just mindsets toward ocean conservation cannot be achieved.” In 2020, she joined Jesse Senko’s research team in La Paz, Mexico, to work with local fisheries to develop innovative technologies for reducing sea turtle bycatch. “La Paz strengthened my curiosity about the mysteries of the ocean frontier,” Kaiser said. “As environmental changes continue to damage Earth, the ocean will continue to have more and more everyday relevance, not just for those who live near the coast.” Kaiser has also teamed up with Lekelia Jenkins, a professor at her university, to explore how dance can be included in science communication and conservation learning. Their process involved educating people about sea turtle deaths caused by bycatch and then encouraging these individuals to explore the themes of conservation through movement. “Ocean science offers limitless possibilities for creativity,” Kaiser said. “Although the issues relating to oceans seem discouraging, there is always room to create hope and joy.” Kaiser stressed the importance of creating an environment of respect and awareness of the relationship between people and our oceans, regardless of how close they live to the coasts. The future of the oceans is our future, and we can create that future through the creative mind that lives in each and every one of us,” she said. 4 What do we know about the impact of bycatch? A. It destroys the native habitats of land species. B. It causes fishermen to suffer economic losses. C. It leads to a sharp decrease in common species. D. It forces fishermen to cooperate with each other. 5. What has Kaiser learned from her research work in La Paz? A. More people are influenced by the ocean. B. She needs to shift the focus of her research. C. Only teamwork can tackle bycatch completely. D. Sea turtles should be classified as endangered species. 6. What was the purpose of Kaiser and Lekelia Jenkins’ collaboration? A. To improve traditional fishing methods. B. To make marine life known through dance. C. To collect money to save endangered species. D. To raise public awareness about ocean protection. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The impacts of bycatch. B. Kaiser’s career development. C. Kaiser’s efforts in marine research. D. The troubled state of marine ecosystems. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Nicole Kaiser在海洋研究方面的努力和贡献，包括她对副渔获物问题的关注、国际合作、创新技术应用以及通过舞蹈进行科学传播和保护学习等方面的内容。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Bycatch is a long-standing challenge for fisheries — it threatens marine ecosystems and harms profits for individuals whose living relies on what they catch.(副渔获物对渔业来说是一个长期存在的挑战——它威胁着海洋生态系统，并损害了那些以捕捞为生的人的利润。)”可知，副渔获物会导致渔民遭受经济损失。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““La Paz strengthened my curiosity about the mysteries of the ocean frontier,” Kaiser said. “As environmental changes continue to damage Earth, the ocean will continue to have more and more everyday relevance, not just for those who live near the coast.”(“拉巴斯的经历加深了我对海洋边界奥秘的好奇，” 凯泽说道，“随着环境变化持续破坏地球，海洋与日常生活的关联性将会越来越强，而不仅仅只影响那些住在沿海地区的人。”)”可知，Kaiser从她在拉巴斯的科研工作中学到了更多的人受到海洋的影响。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Kaiser has also teamed up with Lekelia JenKins, a professor at her university, to explore how dance can be included in science communication and conservation learning. Their process involved educating people about sea turtle deaths caused by bycatch and then encouraging these individuals to explore the themes of conservation through movement.(Kaiser还与她所在大学的教授Lekelia Jenkins合作，探索如何将舞蹈纳入科学传播和保护学习中。他们的过程包括教育人们关于副渔获物造成的海龟死亡，然后鼓励这些人通过运动来探索保护的主题。)”可知，Kaiser和Lekelia Jenkins合作的目的是提高公众对海洋保护的意识。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了Nicole Kaiser在海洋研究方面的努力和贡献，包括她对副渔获物问题的关注、国际合作、创新技术应用以及通过舞蹈进行科学传播和保护学习等方面的内容，所以这篇文章主要讲了Kaiser在海洋研究方面的努力。故选C。 C Keeping indoor space comfortable costs us a lot. About half the energy Americans use in their homes goes towards heating and cooling. Although many buildings have walls packed with insulation (隔热材料) to maintain an ideal temperature, others, especially old buildings, are energy inefficient. As global temperatures increase, scientists are developing ways to maximize the heat released through radiative cooling, a natural phenomenon that makes outdoor temperatures drop at night and helps cool the earth as a whole. Among these techniques are films that can wrap around structures so they release more heat. But many areas of the world also experience bitter winters. “You don’t want to have something that is rapidly cooling off your house then,” scientist Peter Bermel says. Now, scientists have developed a color-changing film to handle the dilemma. The new film works by taking advantage of radiative cooling. Everything around us, including our bodies and buildings, is constantly sending out heat in the form of mid-infrared radiation (中红外辐射). It starts in the cooling mode. Beneath a thin electrical conductor lies a small reservoir (贮液槽) of water with copper ions dissolved (溶解的铜离子) inside. In this state, the device naturally radiates heat, cooling the inside of the building. Then, when a small electric charge is applied to the conductor layer, the dissolved copper settles on its surface, forming a thin layer over the reservoir. Because copper sends out little of the mid-infrared heat it absorbs, the device now traps heat. This change can happen again and again, although repeated use means that both cooling and heating modes are less efficient. The authors estimate that if this technology is applied in a film to the outside of a building, it could save 8.4 percent of the energy used for heating and cooling in climates that experience a drastic swing in temperatures throughout the year. The building would also change color, from dark white in the summer to metallic copper in the winter. The new system seems promising, especially compared with some other research groups’ previous attempts to create an adjustable device. Some of the materials considered for use in similar devices were highly flammable and unsuited for enveloping a building. But this doesn’t mean communities will be filled with eco-buildings covered in such films given their high price. 8. What is the problem mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Americans use too much energy to keep their home comfortable. B. The US has low energy efficiency in indoor temperature control. C. Older buildings in the US can hardly keep comfortable temperature. D. Existing insulation cannot keep US building at the right temperature. 9. Why did the scientists develop the new film? A. To help fight against global warming. B. To enable buildings to release more heat. C. To make use of the heat generated by radiative cooling. D. To keep buildings at a comfortable temperature at all times. 10 What is the major advantage of the new film? A. It is more durable than other films. B. It costs less to have the same effect. C It changes color based on the indoor temperature. D. It can switch between high and low heat emission. 11. What is the author’s general attitude towards the new invention? A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家开发出的一种新型变色薄膜，可以解决室内温度调节的能源效率问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Keeping indoor space comfortable costs us a lot. About half the energy Americans use in their homes goes towards heating and cooling. Although many buildings have walls packed with insulation to maintain an ideal temperature, others, especially old buildings, are energy inefficient.(保持室内空间舒适让我们花费很多。美国人在家中使用的能源中，大约有一半用于供暖和制冷。尽管许多建筑物的墙壁都填充了隔热材料以维持理想的温度，但其他建筑物，尤其是老建筑，能源效率低下。)”可知，第一段提到的问题是美国在室内温度控制方面的能源效率较低。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As global temperatures increase, scientists are developing ways to maximize the heat released through radiative cooling, a natural phenomenon that makes outdoor temperatures drop at night and helps cool the earth as a whole. Among these techniques are films that can wrap around structures so they release more heat. But many areas of the world also experience bitter winters. ‘You don’t want to have something that is rapidly cooling off your house then,’ scientist Peter Bermel says. Now, scientists have developed a color-changing film to handle the dilemma.(随着全球气温的升高，科学家们正在开发方法，以最大限度地利用通过辐射冷却释放的热量，这是一种使夜间室外温度下降并有助于整体冷却地球的自然现象。这些技术中包括可以包裹在建筑物周围的薄膜，以便它们释放更多的热量。但世界上许多地区也经历了寒冷的冬天。科学家彼得·伯梅尔说：‘那时你不想让你的房子迅速冷却。’现在，科学家们已经开发出一种变色薄膜来处理这种困境。)”可知，科学家们开发这种新薄膜是为了始终使建筑物保持在舒适的温度。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The new film works by taking advantage of radiative cooling.(这种新薄膜利用辐射冷却的原理工作)”以及“In this state, the device naturally radiates heat, cooling the inside of the building. Then, when a small electric charge is applied to the conductor layer, the dissolved copper settles on its surface, forming a thin layer over the reservoir. Because copper sends out little of the mid-infrared heat it absorbs, the device now traps heat. This change can happen again and again, although repeated use means that both cooling and heating modes are less efficient.(在这种状态下，设备自然地辐射热量，冷却建筑物内部。然后，当对导体层施加少量电荷时，溶解的铜沉淀在其表面上，在贮液槽上形成一层薄层。因为铜释放的它吸收的中红外热量很少，所以这个设备现在可以吸收热量。这种变化可以一次又一次地发生，尽管重复使用意味着冷却和加热模式的效率都会降低。)”可知，这种新薄膜的主要优点是它可以在高热量和低热量排放之间切换。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new system seems promising, especially compared with some other research groups’ previous attempts to create an adjustable device. Some of the materials considered for use in similar devices were highly flammable and unsuited for enveloping a building. But this doesn’t mean communities will be filled with eco-buildings covered in such films given their high price.(与一些其他研究小组之前尝试创建可调节设备的努力相比，新系统似乎很有前景。一些考虑用于类似设备的材料高度易燃，不适合包裹建筑物。但这并不意味着社区会充满覆盖着这种薄膜的生态建筑，因为它们的价格很高。)”可知，作者对新发明的一般态度是客观的，既看到了它的优点，也指出了它的局限性。故选A。 D A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting was the perceived need to “accelerate breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this discussion was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. Gay’s troubles came after Stanford University President Marc Tessier Lavigne stepped down, after an internal investigation concluded that his neuroscience research had “multiple problems” and “fell below customary standards of scientific rigor.” Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the phenomenon of high-profile scholars correcting and withdrawing papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly. In recent years we’ve seen important papers withdrawn because of questionable data or methods. In one interesting case, Frances H. Arnold, who shared the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, voluntarily withdrew a paper when her lab was unable to reproduce her results — but after the paper .had been published. In an open apology, she stated that she was “a bit busy” when the paper was submitted and “did not do my job well.” Arnold’s honesty is admirable, but it raises a question: Are scholars at highly competitive places such as Harvard and Standford rushing to publishing rather than taking the time to do their work right? It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under enormous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly. However, nearly a century passed between biochemist Friedrich Miescher’s identification of the DNA molecule and suggestion that it might be involved in inheritance and the clarification of its double-helix (双螺旋) structure in the 1950s. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift. There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Another study found 265 academic authors — two thirds of whom were in the medical and life sciences-published a paper every five days on average. The numbers suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down — not speed up — if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust. 12. What does the word “rigor” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Strictness and precision. B. Fame and popularity. C. Quickness and convenience. D. Flexibility and openness. 13. DNA and continental drift are examples to demonstrate that . A. good science takes time B. science advances with time C. research across disciplines is needed D. breakthroughs seldom happen by chance 14. Which of the following situations can best reflect the author’s concern? A. A researcher fails to produce evidence for his paper. B. A university loses young talent due to a lack of funding. C. An editor overlooks the errors in a writer’s research methods. D. A scholar publishes a paper with limited data to gain recognition. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Danger of Fast Science. B. The Crisis among Top Scientists. C. The Battle between Quality and Quantity. D. The Principle behind Research Assessments. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了科学研究中速度与质量的关系，指出在当今学术界追求快速产出成果的背景下，科学研究的严谨性和可信度受到了挑战，强调了“慢科学”的重要性。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Gay’s troubles came after Stanford University President Marc Tessier Lavigne stepped down, after an internal investigation concluded that his neuroscience research had “multiple problems” (此前，斯坦福大学校长马克・泰西耶-拉维涅已先行卸任，校内调查结论显示，他的神经科学研究存在“多处问题”)”可知，斯坦福大学校长的神经科学研究存在“多个问题”，且“低于科学rigor的常规标准”。问题与“标准”对应，“科学标准”通常指向严谨性，由此可知，rigor意为“严谨性与精确性”。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, nearly a century passed between biochemist Friedrich Miescher’s identification of the DNA molecule and suggestion that it might be involved in inheritance and the clarification of its double-helix structure in the 1950s. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift. (然而，从生物化学家弗里德里希·米歇尔发现DNA分子并提出它可能参与遗传，到20世纪50年代阐明其双螺旋结构，这之间几乎过去了一个世纪。地质学家和地球物理学家花了大约半个世纪才接受了阿尔弗雷德·魏格纳的大陆漂移理论。)”可知，DNA和大陆漂移的例子表明，科学发现和理论的形成往往需要长时间的积累和验证，好的科学需要时间。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The numbers suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down — not speed up — if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust. (这些数字表明，研究界已经将数量置于质量之上。如果我们想要产生值得信任的知识，研究人员可能需要放慢速度，而不是加快速度。)”可知，作者担忧的是研究界过于追求数量而忽视了质量，因此选项D“一位学者发表了一篇数据有限的论文以获得认可”最能反映作者的担忧，因为它体现了学者为了快速获得认可而牺牲了研究质量。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讨论了科学研究中速度与质量的关系，指出在当今学术界追求快速产出成果的背景下，科学研究的严谨性和可信度受到了挑战，强调了“慢科学”的重要性，即科学研究需要时间来确保其质量和可信度。因此，选项A“快速科学的危险”最能概括文章的主题，是最佳标题。故选A。 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。 Ugh!

She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) . She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river. Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector. The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”. On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk (大块) of ice, unable to crawl onto it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk of ice, unable to crawl onto it. Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind howled across the pond. “Mike, keep your arms up — don’t let go!” Martha shouted, her voice cracking with fear. The boy’s lips were turning a frightening shade of blue, and water sloshed over his boots each time the ice tilted. The sisters clung to a low branch, but the thought of re-entering the frigid hole was unbearable. With no adults in sight and daylight fading, the brittle silence of the farm suddenly felt enormous. Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. Powerful strokes sliced the surface as spray flew from her coat. When she reached him, she circled once, nudging his armpit with her nose until Mike’s arms slid over her broad shoulders. Instinct took over. Gripping his jacket between her teeth, she turned toward shore and began towing her passenger. Martha and Sara lay flat on the ice, stretching a long branch. The moment Bear’s paws scraped frozen ground, the girls hauled the boy and the dog together, collapsing in a trembling heap of relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小狗Bear为线索展开，讲述了它保护着鸭子、鸡和孩子们。在一个寒冷冬日，三个孩子在农场池塘滑冰时冰面破裂，Martha和Sara上岸后发现Mike被困在冰上。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回头看，他们看到小Mike紧紧抓住一块破碎的冰，无法爬上去。”可知，第一段可描写Martha和Sara的惊慌失措以及Mike的危险处境，同时强调当时的寒冷和无助。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到这一幕，Bear发出一连串的叫声，跳进水里，径直向Mike游去。”可知，第二段可描写Bear如何成功营救Mike，以及Martha和Sara在岸边的协助，最后大家都松了一口气。 2. 续写线索：冰面破裂——Mike被困——Bear营救——成功上岸 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①大喊：shout/yell ②紧紧抓住：cling to/grasp/hold fast to ③到达：reach/get to 情绪类 ①惊慌：panic/fright/terror ②恐惧：fear/terror/alarm 【点睛】【高分句型1】Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind howled across the pond.
