学军中学紫金港2025年10月高二年级英语测试 第I卷：选择题部分(满分95分) 第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项. A Great Apps That'll Make Your Life Easier 1.Freedom One-sentence Benefit:Have a distraction-free:workday by blocking websites. Freedom prevents the guilty pleasures that we all have of checking our emails, social media, or other websites that distract us from getting things done. What's useful about this productivity app is that you can use it on any of your devices(i.e., mobile, tablet,desktop), and it allows you to schedule blocked-off times ahead of time. 2.Hemingway App One-sentence Benefit:It's basically your personal editor. Hemingway has been a dear friend of mine ever since I've started blogging back in 2013. Whenever I write an important post for my blog, I go to Hemingway to make sure my writing is error-free. All you have to do is copy and paste your article into Hemingway,and it will analyze your writing from its readability, grammar errors, alternative suggestions,and so on. 3.Wunderlist One-sentence Benefit:Meet the ultimate to-do list organizer. I used to have one giant to-do list, where I would write down all of my tasks for the week. It didn't quite occur in my mind that I should be creating different categories within my to-do list, in order to keep it organized and focused, until my friend recommended Wunderlist. Now I have over 15 different lists, from personal, work, health, and so on, and it certainly gives me a peace of mind. 4.News Feed Eradicator One-sentence Benefit:Replace your friend's vacation photos with inspirational quotes. Scrolling(滚屏)through your Facebook News Feed can be a workout on its own.While I love staying up-to-date with my friends, I haven't felt the need to depend on Facebook to do this. While there's no data to back this up, my level of productivity and overall happiness seems to have increased since I've stopped consuming what others are up to, and started focusing on what I want to do. 21.Which of the following apps can help you organize your tasks? A.Freedom. B.Hemingway App. C.Wunderlist. D.News Feed Eradicator. 22.What is an advantage of Hemingway App? A.It helps polish your writing. B.It increases your reading fluency. C.It offers a sample writing for your essay. D.It provides you with inspirational quotes. 23.What do Freedom and News Feed Eradicat or have in common? A.They are designed to block posts. B.They can improve your efficiency. C.They remind you of important tasks. D.They can only be used on the computer. B As a printmaker(版画家),drawing is a tool to make my prints, rather than an end result in itself I make three kinds of drawing when I am developing a print:observational sketches, composition thumbnails(缩略图)and then what I call the “design drawing”, which is the final design to transfer onto my block. Here's how all three methods work for me. Firstly, I see observational drawing as visual note taking and I take a magpie approach to collecting ideas.Sometimes that means an organised sketchbook and special pencils; sometimes I have to beg a pencil from a stranger and use the back of a paper bag. The trick is to take down anything that catches my fancy, even if it is just a couple of lines. I am careful to keep this collection of sparks safe--it often takes me a couple of years to get around to using an idea, especially some of the more random ones! I regularly scan through my collection, hunting for ideas and often combining several together, old and new, to create a print. I then use thumb nail sketches to plan my print's composition and to develop the ideas got from my observational work. I use a soft pencil and cheap paper for this because I am seeking information, not an appealing drawing. Thumbnails help me to run through many options and experiments with little effort, while their very simplicity allows me to check my shapes are good and that I have the right balance of light and dark areas--the key to a strong composition. The final step is to draw the final design as the basis for my print.I always try to develop the image as a whole rather than focusing on fragments, working over the entire drawing very loosely with lots of scribbled(潦草的)pencil lines. Then I edit repeatedly, keeping relevant lines and erasing others, sometimes cropping the work or enlarging it, often sacrificing pleasing details for the good of the whole. 24.How does the author collect ideas? A.By communicating with strangers B.By keeping the sparks in a notebook. C.By visiting museums and art galleries. D.By recording any possible inspirations. 25.Which of the following can best describe the author's way of doing composition? A.Better to be safe than sorry. B.Progress through trial and error. C.Always put your best foot forward. D.Be slow in choosing,but slower in changing. 26.Which principle does the author follow in the final step? A.Focusing on the overall effect. B.Achieving simplicity and harmony. C.Working on the details persistently. D.Combining different painting styles. 27.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To reveal some tricks in art design. B.To share experience in artistic creation. C.To discuss the elements of good prints. D.To analyze techniques of art expression. C The conventional wisdom about insects has been that they are unthinking, unfeeling creatures whose behavior is entirely hardwired(天生的). But in the 1990s researchers began making surprising discoveries about insect minds. Some species of wasps(黄蜂)recognize their nest mates' faces and acquire impressive social skills. For example, they can infer the fighting strengths of other wasps relative to their own just by watching other wasps fight among themselves. Given the substantial work on the complexity of insect cognition(认知), it might seem surprising that it took scientists so long to ask whether, if they are that smart, could also be sentient capable of feeling Since we have no direct window into the inner world of an animal that cannot verbally communicate its thoughts and feelings, the question of whether insects are sentient remained academic. 15 years ago, I performed an experiment in which we asked whether bumblebees could learn about threat from their natural enemies. We built a plastic spider model with a mechanism that would briefly trap a bumblebee between two sponges before releasing it. The bumblebees showed a significant change in their behavior after being attacked by the robotic spider. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they learned to avoid flowers with spiders and meticulously scanned every flower before landing. Curiously, however, they some times even fled from imaginary threats, scanning and then abandoning a perfectly safe, spider-free flower. Although this incidental observation did not constitute formal evidence of an emotion- like stare, it did open the door to the idea that such states might exist in insects. Some research suggested that insects might have positive states of mind. Researchers discovered that bees actively seek out drugs such as nicotine and caffeine when given the choice and even treat themselves with nicotine when sick Male fruit flies stressed by being robbed of mating opportunities prefer food containing alcohol and bees even show withdrawal symptoms when removed from an alcohol-rich diet. Why would insects consume mind-altering substances if there isn't a mind to alter? But these suggestive hints of negative and positive mind states sill fill short of what was needed to demonstrate that insets are sentient. 28.What does the example of the wasps indicate? A.Insects show signs of intelligence. B.Insects can do complex calculations. C.Insects can socialize in a skilful way. D.Insects live in highly complex societies. 29.What does the underlined word “meticulously”in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Hesitantly. B.Casually. C.Eagerly. D.Carefully. 30.What was unexpected about the bumblebees' behavior in the experiment? A.They avoided flowers with spiders. B.They settled on flowers despite threats. C.They might abandon spider-free flowers. D.They might get scared away by other insects. 31.What does the text mainly discuss? A.What insects' various behavior can reveal. B.How insects communicate their thoughts. C.What amazing powers insects possess. D.Whether insects are capable of feeling. D The scientist's job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture(拷问)” Nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats(or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work? It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers. “One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings--brains, education, culture etc.--that makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University. Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist:the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity, “reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity.” They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake. “Max Planck,one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction(推论), but by an artistically creative imagination.” But others disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discovering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant to reveal them and would prefer to preserve the mystery of creativity, fearing that if it became an object of study it would lose its magic. But for Allen, this is all part of a bigger question of what lies behind anyone's behavior. “We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren't the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said. “As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we're only going to make limited progress on these questions,” Allen said. 32.Why does the author mention Max Planck in paragraph 3? A.To introduce a famous scientist. B.To stress the role of creativity in science. C.To compare different views on science. D.To illustrate what is curiosity in science. 33.What do Allen's words in the last two paragraphs suggest? A.Human behavior is changeable and unpredictable. B.We are passively influenced by our genes and culture. C.Our interaction with the environment makes us who we are. D.Current technology has revealed a lot about human behavior. 34.What is Allen's attitude to the current study on the human brain? A.Cautious. B.Indifferent. C.Approving. D.Pessimistic. 35.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Who Are The Mystery-solvers B.Scientists Are Not Born But Made C.Great Mystery:What Makes A Scientist D.Solving Mysteries:Inside A Scientist's Mind 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.

The setting should support the dialogue and conflict without needing too much explanation. ___39___. Introduce a small, everyday problem that the characters need to resolve. This problem should be something the audience can relate to, such as losing something,misunderstanding directions, or being late for an event. This conflict is also what drives the dialogue forward and gives the characters a reason to interact. Offer an effective resolution.

She wasn't strong enough to lift them herself, but she could at least help drag them into place. The machine chattered noisily while it carried the bales up to the hayloft, where Callie's dad stacked them. All was quiet when Callie went inside to feed the horses. But as she filled the water buckets, she thought she heard a faint meow from the hayloft. She climbed the steps to the loft and listened. The sound seemed to be coming from behind the bales. She ran to get her dad and Briggs. Briggs cocked his head. “It's coming from outside,” he determined. “Just a bird in a tree.” Callie's dad agreed. “How do you know for sure?”Callie said. “I guess we’ve just got better ears than you,” Briggs joked. But Callie wasn't convinced. She checked the hayloft again after supper. “Are you stuck in there, kitty?” she said, pressing an ear to the bales. “Meooow!” Callie raced back to the house. “I heard it again, Dad! Will you please listen once more?” “All right,Cal,” her dad said, turning off the TV. “I’ll go check while you get ready for bed.” A few minutes later, Dad poked his head into Callie's room. “The only thing I heard out there was a screech owl,” he said. “So stop worrying.” “OK, Dad,” Callie said. “Thanks for checking.” But she woke in the night thinking about what she'd heard. What if a kitten was trapped behind the bales? She lay on her back, wondering what to do. Finally, she grabbed a flashlight and crept into the barn. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Once in the barn, she shined the flashlight's beam toward the ladder. Finally, Callie picked up the scared kitten from the corner of the hayloft. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
