Synthesia Synthesia is a leading AI video generator which allows you to generate realistic digital human videos. It’s ideal for teams and businesses that prioritize speed, professionalism, and brand consistency in their video production workflows. Synthesia offers a free plan that allows users to generate up to 36 minutes of video per year. For more extensive features, paid plans start at $29 per month. Gamma Gamma is great for generating presentations. The slides feature impressive designs and include AI-generated images that look consistent and professional. Gamma has a free plan that includes basic image generation and up to 10 slides per presentation. The Plus Plan ( $10/user/ month) unlocks full access. Suno Suno is perfect for creating original, royalty-free tracks with just a simple prompt (提示词). You can use Suno to generate background music for social posts, videos, and ads. Suno’s free plan includes 50 daily credits for up to 10 songs a day (personal use only).

B First, a sincere thank you to the neighbors who have reached out over the past few months. We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! Now, a quick update: we’ve taken our new year lights down. It wasn’t easy. Our lights had been up since December, nearly six months as part of our household. We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!!” We hoped these lights, bought on a sale, would inspire us and find their forever home. But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. We sought help, but Shiny Brite Light Installations wanted to charge us an arm and a leg. Luckily, we discovered we could simply remove it. We knew it would upset the color arrangements by having two red bulbs together, but it was the only option. Dealing with the messy wires was another tiring challenge. We asked ourselves, “What are we doing wrong?” I remembered falling into bed one night and saying to my husband, “Is it us?” His answer: “No. It’s those lights. We should take them back.” Returning them? Unthinkable. Mainly because I’d lost the receipt, or because what kind of people would return a used item? Actually, neither. The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. Eventually, we relaxed and enjoyed the days as time passed. As temperatures rise, colorful flowers are perfect decorations now, but what about the lights still playing new year songs when sensing every Amazon delivery truck? Not so much. Contrary to your whispers, we haven’t returned the lights. They’ve been rehomed in the basement, for now. Don’t worry. We remain committed to these lights. They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. 4. How do the writer’s neighbors find her new year lights? A. Artistic. B. Annoying. C. Traditional. D. Inspiring. 5. According to paragraph 3, which was a problem with the lights? A. A part posed a safety risk. B. Their colors were boring. C. A bulb flashed unpredictably. D. Their wires were exposed. 6. Why did the writer decide not to return the lights? A. She regarded it a tiring challenge. B. She lost the receipt for them. C. She considered it impolite. D. She grew attached to them. 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. This November will witness new lights delivered B. The basement will be the lights’ forever home. C. Lights are perfect symbols of season changes D. The writer still plans on putting the lights up. C While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think. In the study, participants practiced a simple task in which they pressed keyboard buttons corresponding to the direction of arrows that lit up on a screen. But there were patterns hidden within the task that the participants were unaware of — and they learned these patterns without consciously noticing them. The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task’s hidden patterns significantly faster. “This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors opted for a nondemanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning,” says Athena Demertzi from the University of Liège in Belgium. Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says — on which zoning out is typically shown to have a negative effect. But the results are not clear-cut, says Jonathan Smallwood, a psychology researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. “I don’t think that this means the mind-wandering episodes themselves cause implicit (隐性) learning to occur, ” he says. “Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state.” Neither Smallwood nor Demertzi was involved in the new study. Using EEG (脑电图) recordings, the team found that during the test periods, participants’ brains produced more of the slow waves that are dominant during sleep. “Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state’s learning benefits,” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study. To better understand whether mind wandering might compensate (弥补) for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By setting relatable scenes. B. By defining a new concept. C. By presenting a research timeline. D. By providing historical background. 9. According to Athen a Demertzi, what may happen if a task becomes more demanding? A. Mind wandering may increase. B. Zoning out may hurt performance. C. Hidden patterns may be easier to detect. D. Participants may adapt to the task faster. 10. What is Péter Simor doing with his remark in paragraph 5? A. Taking back an earlier claim. B. Ruling out Smallwood’s view. C. Presenting conclusive evidence. D. Offering a possible interpretation. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Our Minds Wander B. How to Stop Mind Wandering C. The Power of a Wandering Mind D. The Dangers of Mind Wandering D As the wild shrinks, zoos are increasingly being looked to as modern-day arks (方舟): the last shelter against a rising tide of extinction. At the end of the 19th century the Cincinnati Zoo tried — unsuccessfully — to breed (培育) passenger pigeons, whose numbers were in sharp decline. And in the early 20th century, the Bronx Zoo started a program that helped save the wild bison. But zoos have to support themselves, and the sorts of animals that draw crowds are not necessarily the sorts that most need help. This makes prioritization unavoidable. “I think it’s a bit of a cop-out to say the public wants to see x, y, or z,” says Onnie Byers, chair of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group. “This allows institutions to avoid making hard choices. Plenty of species need exactly the expertise that zoos can provide. I would love to see a trend toward zoos’ phasing out species that don’t need that care and using the space for species that do.” Under tight budgets, conservation programs tend to be led by large big-city zoos. But littler zoos are increasingly joining in. The Miller Park Zoo, one of the smallest zoos in the country, is hoping to figure out how to breed an endangered subspecies of squirrel which doesn’t require much space. Sadly, for every success story like the wild bison, there are dozens of other species hanging on the edge of extinction. The po‘ouli went extinct a year or two after the San Diego Zoo made a last-ditch (最后) effort to save it. When the final bird died, his body was immediately sent to a special room in the zoo. Along with thousands of other identical-looking containers, the tubes of po‘ouli cells represent what might be described as a beyond-the-last ditch conservation effort: the Frozen Zoo. For now, at least, all but one of the species in deep freeze still have flesh-and-blood members. But it seems safe to predict that in the coming years, more and more will go the way of the po‘ouli. After they die, they will, in a manner of speaking, live on — one last hope, suspended in a frozen cloud. 12. What does the underlined word “cop-out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A brave choice. B. A necessary step. C. A legal obligation. D. A convenient excuse. 13. Which case is presented as a conservation success? A. The wild bison at the Bronx Zoo. B. The po‘ouli at the San Diego Zoo. C. The passenger pigeon at the Cincinnati Zoo. D. The subspecies of squirrel at the Miller Park Zoo. 14. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo? A. It is a nonprofit for animal rights. B. It is a facility to store animal cells. C. It is a shelter for cold-climate animals. D. It is a program to breed endangered animals. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Zoos’ choices on what to save. B. Zoos’ role in animal conservation. C The history of zoos' conservation work. D. The reasons why animals end up in zoos. 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。 Last September, I walked to a quiet pier (码头) near my home in California. I held my telescope and looked up at the sky. For the first time, I wasn’t hiking or walking my dog. ____16____ That quiet moment marked the beginning of my birding journey. Although I had always loved animals and nature, bird-watching demanded more. ____17____ It pushed me to slow down, to notice the subtle (不易察觉的) things I once overlooked. I turned to birding guides and apps, and followed the advice of experienced bird-watchers. With every new bird I spotted, my excitement grew. ____18____ I began wandering through overlooked corners of the city—beside factories, near train tracks, behind libraries—and discovered that even the most unlikely places offered moments of quiet beauty. What surprised me most was how peaceful I felt while bird-watching. My mind stopped racing. I was truly present. Birding also reshaped how I experienced nature. I used to think of it as something distant, something that existed only in national parks or wildlife documentaries. ____19____ In fact, the birds outside my window feel like neighbors now. The arrival and departure of different species mark time more clearly than any calendar. Some say hobbies like birding are a luxury, a break from “real” life. But I no longer see it that way. ____20____ It helps me reconnect with the world, and with myself, in ways that work or screens never could. A. I was there with a single, quiet purpose. B. Instead, I regard it as a form of meaningful engagement. C. In doing so, I began to see beauty where I had never thought to look. D. However, the birds I used to ignore are symbols of something much larger. E. Birds come and go like clockwork, pulling the seasons forward with them. F. It asked not just for interest, but for presence, patience, and deep attention. G. The more time I spent identifying birds, the more I realized how much I didn’t know. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It pained me to take down the old sugar maple.

But we watched the old maple die ____26____. “She’s not doing well,” my husband said. Even the birds were ____27____. I saw no Baltimore oriole nest (鸟窝) in her branches as I had the year before. Perhaps the birds knew that ____28____ a nest to those branches was no longer safe. When it became too dangerous to walk underneath her, professionals were called and she was ____29____. That couldn’t be the ____30____, though. People ____31____ me to turn the old maple into tables, shelves, guitars or bowls. I ____32____ their advice. Now, instead of gazing up at the tree, I can ____33____ her in my hands. The bowls are silky ____34____, not rough like her bark; they’re light-colored, not dark.

His sister Mia had seen him win many times. But life took a turn when Mia was diagnosed with cancer. The family focused on taking care of her and Devin spent most of his free time by her side, missing a lot of school basketball training. Still, he got the chance to enter the annual three-point contest. He was eager to participate, mainly wanting to let Mia get out of the hospital for a few hours. On the day of the contest at the community center, Devin was nervous. The rules were straightforward: five shooting spots with three shots each. Starting from the left corner, he rushed his first shot and missed. The second and third shots also didn’t go in. The audience sighed. Moving to the next spots, his rhythm was off, and by the fourth station, he’d missed nine shots continuously. The scoreboard showed “0”, and he could hear the audience laughing. He looked at the sidelines where Mia, pale from recent chemotherapy (化疗) but determined, sat in a wheelchair. She’d insisted on coming and shouted, “You’ve got this, Devin!” Devin took a deep breath. At the final spot, he focused, bent his knees, and shot. Score! The second shot also went in. But the last shot bounced off the rim (篮筐). He didn’t win as the defending champion had already won. As Devin left the court, Mia wheeled over with tears in her eyes. “You didn’t give up,” she said softly. Devin hugged her and whispered, “Neither did you.” Kneeling beside her, he said sadly, “But I didn’t make it.” Mia shook her head. “You tried. That’s what counts.” Devin managed a smile, but he wasn’t sure if there’d be a next time. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day at school, Devin noticed a flyer (传单) for a charity basketball event. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, as Devin and Mia stood on the same court, the crowd’s cheers felt different. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋季泉州市培元中学高三年级上学期第一次月考 英语科试题 （考试时间：120分钟；满分：150分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将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.

We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!!” We hoped these lights, bought on a sale, would inspire us and find their forever home. But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. We sought help, but Shiny Brite Light Installations wanted to charge us an arm and a leg. Luckily, we discovered we could simply remove it. We knew it would upset the color arrangements by having two red bulbs together, but it was the only option. Dealing with the messy wires was another tiring challenge. We asked ourselves, “What are we doing wrong?” I remembered falling into bed one night and saying to my husband, “Is it us?” His answer: “No. It’s those lights. We should take them back.” Returning them? Unthinkable. Mainly because I’d lost the receipt, or because what kind of people would return a used item? Actually, neither. The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. Eventually, we relaxed and enjoyed the days as time passed. As temperatures rise, colorful flowers are perfect decorations now, but what about the lights still playing new year songs when sensing every Amazon delivery truck? Not so much. Contrary to your whispers, we haven’t returned the lights. They’ve been rehomed in the basement, for now. Don’t worry. We remain committed to these lights. They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. 4. How do the writer’s neighbors find her new year lights? A. Artistic. B. Annoying. C. Traditional. D. Inspiring. 5. According to paragraph 3, which was a problem with the lights? A. A part posed a safety risk. B. Their colors were boring. C. A bulb flashed unpredictably. D. Their wires were exposed. 6. Why did the writer decide not to return the lights? A. She regarded it a tiring challenge. B. She lost the receipt for them. C. She considered it impolite. D. She grew attached to them. 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. This November will witness new lights delivered B. The basement will be the lights’ forever home. C. Lights are perfect symbols of season changes D. The writer still plans on putting the lights up. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7.

(我们收到了你们许多人的纸条——甚至有一张纸条系在扔进我们窗户的石头上！)”和第二段“We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!! (我们被一些发自内心的担忧所感动，比如“你们要一直挂着灯吗？？!！！”)””可知，作者收到邻居们抱怨，甚至有的人用石头砸窗户，故推断邻居们对作者家的新年彩灯感到厌烦，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. (但也有一些问题：嘶嘶声、气味、蚊子，还有一个绿色的灯泡莫名其妙地开了又关)”可知，有个绿色的灯泡突然闪烁。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. (灯已经挂起来了，成了我们的一部分，就该一直挂着)” 可知，灯已经成为了作者和家人的一部分，体现作者对灯产生了感情，很依恋灯，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后两段，尤其最后一句“They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. (它们是我们家庭的一部分，即使它们不再出现——至少要到11月底)”可知，作者11月底还会挂起彩灯，故推断作者仍然打算把灯挂起来。故选D。 C While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think. In the study, participants practiced a simple task in which they pressed keyboard buttons corresponding to the direction of arrows that lit up on a screen. But there were patterns hidden within the task that the participants were unaware of — and they learned these patterns without consciously noticing them. The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task’s hidden patterns significantly faster. “This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors opted for a nondemanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning,” says Athena Demertzi from the University of Liège in Belgium. Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says — on which zoning out is typically shown to have a negative effect. But the results are not clear-cut, says Jonathan Smallwood, a psychology researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. “I don’t think that this means the mind-wandering episodes themselves cause implicit (隐性) learning to occur, ” he says. “Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state.” Neither Smallwood nor Demertzi was involved in the new study. Using EEG (脑电图) recordings, the team found that during the test periods, participants’ brains produced more of the slow waves that are dominant during sleep. “Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state’s learning benefits,” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study. To better understand whether mind wandering might compensate (弥补) for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By setting relatable scenes. B. By defining a new concept. C. By presenting a research timeline. D. By providing historical background. 9. According to Athen a Demertzi, what may happen if a task becomes more demanding? A. Mind wandering may increase. B. Zoning out may hurt performance. C. Hidden patterns may be easier to detect. D. Participants may adapt to the task faster. 10. What is Péter Simor doing with his remark in paragraph 5? A. Taking back an earlier claim. B. Ruling out Smallwood’s view. C. Presenting conclusive evidence. D. Offering a possible interpretation. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Our Minds Wander B. How to Stop Mind Wandering C. The Power of a Wandering Mind D. The Dangers of Mind Wandering 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍《神经科学杂志》研究，发现人走神时能更快掌握任务隐藏规律，专家对此有不同解读，研究者还计划探究走神能否弥补睡眠不足。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think. (当你在洗碗或者开车去上班时，你的思绪很可能并未专注于手头的任务；也许你正在列购物清单，或者正在幻想自己在意大利退休的生活。但发表在《神经科学杂志》上的研究显示，你所接收的信息可能比你自己意识到的要多。)”可知，作者通过描绘贴近生活的场景引入文章主题。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says — on which zoning out is typically shown to have a negative effect. (她说，此前的相关研究更多地关注的是那些耗时较长且要求较高的任务——而在这类任务中，注意力不集中通常会被认为会产生负面影响。)”可知，根据阿提恩·德梅特齐的观点，如果一项任务变得更具挑战性，可能会降低工作效率。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state’s learning benefits,” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study. (彼得·西莫尔是这项最新研究的领衔作者，他表示：“或许心理游离就像一种浅度睡眠状态，能带来类似浅度睡眠的一些学习益处。”)”可知，彼得·西莫在第5段中的这番言论意欲提供一种可能的解释。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think. (当你在洗碗或者开车去上班时，你的思绪很可能并未专注于手头的任务；也许你正在列购物清单，或者正在幻想自己在意大利退休的生活。但发表在《神经科学杂志》上的研究显示，你所接收的信息可能比你自己意识到的要多。)”结合文章介绍《神经科学杂志》研究，发现人走神时能更快掌握任务隐藏规律，专家对此有不同解读，研究者还计划探究走神能否弥补睡眠不足。可知，C选项“走神的力量”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D As the wild shrinks, zoos are increasingly being looked to as modern-day arks (方舟): the last shelter against a rising tide of extinction. At the end of the 19th century the Cincinnati Zoo tried — unsuccessfully — to breed (培育) passenger pigeons, whose numbers were in sharp decline. And in the early 20th century, the Bronx Zoo started a program that helped save the wild bison. But zoos have to support themselves, and the sorts of animals that draw crowds are not necessarily the sorts that most need help. This makes prioritization unavoidable. “I think it’s a bit of a cop-out to say the public wants to see x, y, or z,” says Onnie Byers, chair of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group. “This allows institutions to avoid making hard choices. Plenty of species need exactly the expertise that zoos can provide. I would love to see a trend toward zoos’ phasing out species that don’t need that care and using the space for species that do.” Under tight budgets, conservation programs tend to be led by large big-city zoos. But littler zoos are increasingly joining in. The Miller Park Zoo, one of the smallest zoos in the country, is hoping to figure out how to breed an endangered subspecies of squirrel which doesn’t require much space. Sadly, for every success story like the wild bison, there are dozens of other species hanging on the edge of extinction. The po‘ouli went extinct a year or two after the San Diego Zoo made a last-ditch (最后) effort to save it. When the final bird died, his body was immediately sent to a special room in the zoo. Along with thousands of other identical-looking containers, the tubes of po‘ouli cells represent what might be described as a beyond-the-last ditch conservation effort: the Frozen Zoo. For now, at least, all but one of the species in deep freeze still have flesh-and-blood members. But it seems safe to predict that in the coming years, more and more will go the way of the po‘ouli. After they die, they will, in a manner of speaking, live on — one last hope, suspended in a frozen cloud. 12. What does the underlined word “cop-out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A brave choice. B. A necessary step. C. A legal obligation. D. A convenient excuse. 13. Which case is presented as a conservation success? A. The wild bison at the Bronx Zoo. B. The po‘ouli at the San Diego Zoo. C. The passenger pigeon at the Cincinnati Zoo. D. The subspecies of squirrel at the Miller Park Zoo. 14. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo? A. It is a nonprofit for animal rights. B. It is a facility to store animal cells. C. It is a shelter for cold-climate animals. D. It is a program to breed endangered animals. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Zoos’ choices on what to save. B. Zoos’ role in animal conservation. C. The history of zoos' conservation work. D. The reasons why animals end up in zoos. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕动物园在动物保护中的作用展开，介绍其作为“现代方舟”的案例、面临的取舍难题，以及“冷冻动物园”等补充保护手段，展现动物园在物种灭绝危机中的努力与挑战。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“‘This allows institutions to avoid making hard choices.’(这使得机构能够逃避做出艰难的选择)”可知，Onnie Byers认为“说公众想看某类动物”这种说法，本质是让动物园逃避艰难抉择，即是一个便捷的借口。由此猜测，划线词意为“一个便捷的借口”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“And in the early 20th century, the Bronx Zoo started a program that helped save the wild bison.(20 世纪初，布朗克斯动物园启动了一个项目，帮助拯救了野生野牛)”及第五段中“Sadly, for every success story like the wild bison, there are dozens of other species hanging on the edge of extinction.(可悲的是，在每一个像野生野牛这样成功的故事背后，都有几十个其他物种濒临灭绝)”可知，布朗克斯动物园保护野生野牛是成功案例。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Along with thousands of other identical-looking containers, the tubes of po‘ouli cells represent what might be described as a beyond-the-last ditch conservation effort: the Frozen Zoo.(和其他成千上万个看起来一模一样的容器一样，装有波欧里鸟细胞的试管代表着一种可被称为‘超越最后努力’的保护措施：冷冻动物园)”可知，冷冻动物园是储存动物细胞的设施。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“As the wild shrinks, zoos are increasingly being looked to as modern-day arks (方舟): the last shelter against a rising tide of extinction. (随着野生动物数量的减少，动物园越来越被视为现代的方舟：抵御不断上升的灭绝浪潮的最后避难所)”可知，文章首段提出“动物园作为现代方舟应对物种灭绝”，后续段落分别介绍动物园的保护案例（成功与失败）、面临的优先级选择难题、小型动物园的参与，以及“冷冻动物园”等补充手段，核心围绕动物园在动物保护中的作用展开。故选B。 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。 Last September, I walked to a quiet pier (码头) near my home in California. I held my telescope and looked up at the sky. For the first time, I wasn’t hiking or walking my dog. ____16____ That quiet moment marked the beginning of my birding journey. Although I had always loved animals and nature, bird-watching demanded more. ____17____ It pushed me to slow down, to notice the subtle (不易察觉的) things I once overlooked. I turned to birding guides and apps, and followed the advice of experienced bird-watchers. With every new bird I spotted, my excitement grew. ____18____ I began wandering through overlooked corners of the city—beside factories, near train tracks, behind libraries—and discovered that even the most unlikely places offered moments of quiet beauty. What surprised me most was how peaceful I felt while bird-watching. My mind stopped racing. I was truly present. Birding also reshaped how I experienced nature. I used to think of it as something distant, something that existed only in national parks or wildlife documentaries. ____19____ In fact, the birds outside my window feel like neighbors now. The arrival and departure of different species mark time more clearly than any calendar. Some say hobbies like birding are a luxury, a break from “real” life. But I no longer see it that way. ____20____ It helps me reconnect with the world, and with myself, in ways that work or screens never could. A. I was there with a single, quiet purpose. B. Instead, I regard it as a form of meaningful engagement. C. In doing so, I began to see beauty where I had never thought to look. D. However, the birds I used to ignore are symbols of something much larger. E. Birds come and go like clockwork, pulling the seasons forward with them. F. It asked not just for interest, but for presence, patience, and deep attention. G. The more time I spent identifying birds, the more I realized how much I didn’t know. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. D 20.

His sister Mia had seen him win many times. But life took a turn when Mia was diagnosed with cancer. The family focused on taking care of her, and Devin spent most of his free time by her side, missing a lot of school basketball training. Still, he got the chance to enter the annual three-point contest. He was eager to participate, mainly wanting to let Mia get out of the hospital for a few hours. On the day of the contest at the community center, Devin was nervous. The rules were straightforward: five shooting spots with three shots each. Starting from the left corner, he rushed his first shot and missed. The second and third shots also didn’t go in. The audience sighed. Moving to the next spots, his rhythm was off, and by the fourth station, he’d missed nine shots continuously. The scoreboard showed “0”, and he could hear the audience laughing. He looked at the sidelines where Mia, pale from recent chemotherapy (化疗) but determined, sat in a wheelchair. She’d insisted on coming and shouted, “You’ve got this, Devin!” Devin took a deep breath. At the final spot, he focused, bent his knees, and shot. Score! The second shot also went in. But the last shot bounced off the rim (篮筐). He didn’t win as the defending champion had already won. As Devin left the court, Mia wheeled over with tears in her eyes. “You didn’t give up,” she said softly. Devin hugged her and whispered, “Neither did you.” Kneeling beside her, he said sadly, “But I didn’t make it.” Mia shook her head. “You tried. That’s what counts.” Devin managed a smile, but he wasn’t sure if there’d be a next time. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day at school, Devin noticed a flyer (传单) for a charity basketball event. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, as Devin and Mia stood on the same court, the crowd’s cheers felt different. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day at school, Devin noticed a flyer (传单) for a charity basketball event. “Hoops for Hope” would fund children’s cancer treatment. Devin immediately signed up. From that day on, he practiced tirelessly. Mia, whose chemotherapy sessions were finally showing progress, would watch from her wheelchair, counting each successful shot. “Ten in a row today!” she’d say, her voice growing stronger each week. Gradually, his shots became precise arrows piercing the net. Each swish echoed their silent vow: never give up. Weeks later, as Devin and Mia stood on the same court, the crowd’s cheers felt different. Mia, now able to stand independently, waved excitedly as Devin took the final shot. Time seemed to freeze as it sailed and circled the rim — then dropped through the net. The buzzer sounded; they’d won! Devin rushed to Mia, placing the winner’s medal around her neck. Tears glistened as she whispered, “This is our victory.” The crowd burst into deafening cheers, not just for the winning shot, but for the strong spirit of two fighters who turned despair into hope. 【解析】 【导语】本文以亲情与坚持为主线，讲述了篮球少年Devin因妹妹Mia患癌而陷入低谷，却在“永不放弃”的信念中重燃斗志，最终与妹妹并肩站上球场、用胜利回应苦难的感人故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由首句“第二天在学校，Devin注意到一张慈善篮球赛事的传单。”可知，第一段应写Devin报名“Hoops for Hope”慈善赛，刻苦训练，Mia化疗见效并在场边陪伴，兄妹互相鼓励、球技与身体同步好转。 ②由首句“几周后，当Devin和Mia再次站在这片球场上时，人群的欢呼声变得不一样了。”可知，第二段写比赛决胜时刻Devin命中最后一球，Mia已能站立，兄妹把奖牌共享，观众为他们的坚韧欢呼，主题升华。 2. 续写线索：慈善赛报名——刻苦训练——Mia康复——决胜一投——共享胜利——精神传承 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①报名：sign up/register ②训练：practice/drill ③站立：stand independently/rise to the feet ④猛冲：rush/charge 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled ②感动：tears glisten/be moved ③欢呼：deafening cheers/thunderous applause ④绝望：despair/desperation 【点睛】【高分句型1】 The crowd burst into deafening cheers, not just for the winning shot, but for the strong spirit of two fighters who turned despair into hope.(运用了who引导的限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】Mia, now able to stand independently, waved excitedly as Devin took the final shot.
