B Standing on the lakeshore, my gaze drifts down to the tens-even hundreds of thousands of-small stones scattered around my boots, and I can't help but pause in wonder. Each was created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time. And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks? Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1, 000 years ago. And much like a rock, I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together. But I'm not a rock. I'm a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA. Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: "Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can." But the guy tried to argue about the note. I sat watching, understanding both sides. I've been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others' eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success. You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another's point of view. I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again. 4. What does the author compare the rocks to? A. Challenges that we come across. B. Our abilities that grows with time. C. People with varied personalities. D. Different stages of people's lives. 5. What does the underlined phrase "the waters of life" in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to? A. The passing time that changes a person's attitude to himself. B. The difficult experiences that the author encountered in his life. C. The natural phenomena like rain and waves that wear down rocks. D. The various life events that shape the author's perspective on others. 6. What caused the argument in the restaurant? A. The guy's failing to obey the rules. B. The owner's inappropriate attitude. C. Misunderstanding between the two sides. D. Lack of clarity in the sign. 7. What does the author try to convey through this text? A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions. B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life. C. Don't compromise easily and always stick to your principles. D. Being adaptive and understanding brings a sense of well-being. C The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated. Attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear toward wolves. Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympatric carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves. Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively. 8. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1? A. Top predators always cause livestock loss. B. More harmful predators are more accepted locally. C. Locals tolerate different top predators equally. D. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators. 9. How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves? A. As sacred Buddhist beings. B. As tricky, fearsome hunters. C. Less threatening than snow leopards. D. As necessary contributors to the ecosystem. 10. What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have? A. It puts snow leopards in danger. B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves. C. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance. D. It slows the protection of carnivores overall. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Protect Snow Leopards More? B. Who’s More Tolerated? C. How to Save Wolves? D. Where’s the Balance? D “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 12. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Recording spoken words. C. Organizing thoughts. D. Ensuring fluency. 13. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A. It ensures greater objectivity. B. It makes for logical statements. C. It preserves knowledge longer. D. It requires “memorable thoughts”. 14. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A. To show its interactive feature. B. To contrast with online reading. C. To underline its logical structure. D. To highlight its cultural relevance. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity? A. Dismissive. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Skeptical. 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。 Blind boxes, or mystery boxes, are sealed packages containing surprise items.

While playing, Anna said to the kids, “I am going to plant something in the garden. Who would like to help me?” “What are you going to plant, Grandma?” asked Julie. “I like pleasant, bright-colored roses.” “But I like lively, big, yellow sunflowers!” said Fred. “Well, I’m going to plant some vegetables so that we can have fresh vegetables to eat when they are ready,” said Anna. “How long does that take?” asked Erik. He liked vegetables sometimes, especially tomatoes. “It will take several months before anything is ready to eat,” answered Anna. The kids were surprised. “Several months? Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long?” asked Julie. “Why not just go to the store and buy them?” “Patience, my sweeties! Don’t you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself?” replied Anna. “And if all of you come to help, it won’t be too much work.” “I’ll help you, Grandma,” offered Erik. He put down the basketball and went to look at the gardening tools Anna had laid out. “What should we do first?” Fred and Julie came over to have a look, too. Firstly, Anna taught Erik how to use a travel (小铲子) to dig rows of small holes for the seeds. Next, she showed Julie how to pour the seeds into each hole carefully. And then it was Fred’s job to cover up the holes with soil little by little. Finally, Julie wrote the vegetable names on sticks that Erik pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we have planted,” said Anna. After planting everything, the kids took turns in filling up the watering pot so that Anna could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow. “From now on, we just water them a little each day, and with some time and sunshine, we’ll have some delicious things to eat in the summer,” said Anna. 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。 Every time the kids came to visit, they would rush into the garden as fast as possible. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度上学期高二年级期中考试 英语试题 (满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 第一部分：听力 (共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音结束后，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。 1.

Each was created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time. And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks? Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1, 000 years ago. And much like a rock, I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together. But I'm not a rock. I'm a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA. Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: "Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can." But the guy tried to argue about the note. I sat watching, understanding both sides. I've been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others' eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success. You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another's point of view. I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again. 4. What does the author compare the rocks to? A. Challenges that we come across. B. Our abilities that grows with time. C. People with varied personalities. D. Different stages of people's lives. 5. What does the underlined phrase "the waters of life" in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to? A. The passing time that changes a person's attitude to himself. B. The difficult experiences that the author encountered in his life. C. The natural phenomena like rain and waves that wear down rocks. D. The various life events that shape the author's perspective on others. 6. What caused the argument in the restaurant? A. The guy's failing to obey the rules. B. The owner's inappropriate attitude. C. Misunderstanding between the two sides. D. Lack of clarity in the sign. 7. What does the author try to convey through this text? A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions. B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life. C. Don't compromise easily and always stick to your principles. D. Being adaptive and understanding brings a sense of well-being. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过湖边石头从棱角分明到圆润光滑的变化，类比人生成长，探讨学会理解他人、调整自我的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock. I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. (即使是最高的山也已磨损；没有一座像一千年前那么高。和这些岩石很像，我发现我的态度软化了，而随着每过一年，我也更渴望能去更好地了解他人) ”以及根据第八段“You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.(把圆润的石头和棱角分明的石头放进罐子里，前者能装下更多。圆润的石头会想办法调整自身、为同类腾出空间；而棱角分明的石头，却绝不会退让分毫来包容他人)”可知，作者将“圆润的石头”和“棱角分明的石头”分别比作“懂得包容的人”和 “固执不愿妥协的人”，即“不同性格的人”。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的 “after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together(历经数十年 “生命之水” 的冲刷，我的棱角变得柔和，也更懂得理解他人。我不再轻易评判，更愿意思考如何与他人共处）可知，“the waters of life” 指 “塑造作者对他人看法的各种人生经历”—— 正是这些经历让作者从 “爱评判” 变得 “善理解”。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can.” But the guy tried to argue about the note. (两年前，在太平洋西北地区旅行时，我看到一个餐馆老板要求一个不遵守规定的人离开。他的态度既不强硬，也不粗鲁。门上写着：“请戴上口罩进入我们的餐厅。我们也不喜欢这样，但让我们一起尽己所能。”但那家伙试图就这条规定进行争吵。)”，从中可知，这次餐馆的争吵原因是这个人未能遵守规则。故选A项 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view. (圆的石头比棱角分明的石头更容易装进罐子里。前者想办法调整自己，为他人腾出空间；后者从不让步迁就别人。时间就像水流冲刷着尖锐的石头，冲走我们对从别人的角度看世界的抗拒，从而改变了我们）”可知，作者通过本文传达的应是“具备适应能力且懂得体谅他人，能让人收获幸福感。”。故选D项。 C The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated. Attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear toward wolves. Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympatric carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves. Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively. 8. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1? A. Top predators always cause livestock loss. B. More harmful predators are more accepted locally. C. Locals tolerate different top predators equally. D. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators. 9. How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves? A. As sacred Buddhist beings. B. As tricky, fearsome hunters. C. Less threatening than snow leopards. D. As necessary contributors to the ecosystem. 10. What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have? A. It puts snow leopards in danger. B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves. C. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance. D. It slows the protection of carnivores overall. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Protect Snow Leopards More? B. Who’s More Tolerated? C. How to Save Wolves? D. Where’s the Balance? 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出喜马拉雅地区的放牧社区对雪豹和狼存在态度差异，雪豹更受包容，而狼常被忽视，文章强调需平衡保护两者，以维护当地生态系统的稳定。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.(尽管雪豹造成了更大的牲畜损失，但这些社区对雪豹却普遍表现出更大的容忍和接纳态度。这体现了“捕食者悖论”，即更具破坏性的捕食者反而更易得到容忍。)”可知，“捕食者悖论”描述的是尽管雪豹对牲畜造成的损失更大，但这些社区对雪豹却表现出更大的容忍和接受度，即更有害的捕食者在当地却更受欢迎，故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators.(与人们对雪豹的敬畏之情形成鲜明对比的是，狼普遍遭到厌恶和惧怕。这种负面看法源于民间传说，在这些故事中，狼被描绘成狡猾且无情的捕食者。)”可知，喜马拉雅的放牧社区将狼视为狡猾、可怕的猎手，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves.(此外，关键的政策文件将雪豹保护工作置于优先地位，却忽视了狼的生态重要性。这一失误减缓了食肉动物的保护进程，并引发了当地社区对狼的怨恨。)”可知，忽视狼的保护会减缓食肉动物的整体保护进程，故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.(雪豹和狼对喜马拉雅生态系统而言都至关重要，但保护工作却绝大多数都倾向于雪豹。这种关注和资源分配上的不平衡加剧了狼所面临的挑战，凸显出需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了雪豹和狼在喜马拉雅生态系统中的重要性，以及保护工作中存在的失衡问题，强调需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种，因此D项“Where’s the Balance?(平衡在哪里？)”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 D “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 12. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Recording spoken words. C. Organizing thoughts. D. Ensuring fluency. 13. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A. It ensures greater objectivity. B. It makes for logical statements. C. It preserves knowledge longer. D. It requires “memorable thoughts”. 14. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A. To show its interactive feature. B. To contrast with online reading. C. To underline its logical structure. D. To highlight its cultural relevance. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity? A. Dismissive. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Skeptical. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述写作能梳理思想、深入思考，结合研究与理论说明读写的重要性，担忧数字时代碎片化内容对复杂推理能力的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的““I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. (美国伟大记者约翰·多斯·帕索斯写道：“我写作是为了弄清楚自己在想什么。”任何从事写作的人都明白这个道理：写作行为能将尚未成型的想法转化为精准、有条理的思考。)”可知，约翰·多斯·帕索斯认为写作的作用是梳理思想，将模糊想法转化为清晰思考。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. (他认为读写能力推动了古希腊的知识革命。口头文化必须“思考易记的内容”，依靠韵律、情感和陈词滥调来保存知识。相比之下，写作能够呈现精准、复杂的表述，这些表述可被审视、回顾，并发展成有条理的论点。)”可知，与口头文化相比，写作的关键优势是能形成有条理的表述。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.(互联网提供碎片化信息，而书籍则提供丰富的背景和连贯的逻辑关联。阅读是一个需要参与和专注的主动过程——本质上是与文本对话式的思考。)”可知，作者将阅读描述为“与文本对话式的思考”，是为了体现阅读需要读者主动参与、与文本互动的特点，即突出其互动性。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning.(随着我们的文化越来越被短视频和分散注意力的内容主导，我们面临失去复杂推理能力的风险。)”以及“Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing.(在我们将认知发展交给屏幕和算法之前，我们必须仔细思考可能会牺牲什么。)”可知，作者担忧碎片化内容导致人们推理能力下降，对人们的推理能力持担忧态度。故选B项。 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。 Blind boxes, or mystery boxes, are sealed packages containing surprise items.

While playing, Anna said to the kids, “I am going to plant something in the garden. Who would like to help me?” “What are you going to plant, Grandma?” asked Julie. “I like pleasant, bright-colored roses.” “But I like lively, big, yellow sunflowers!” said Fred. “Well, I’m going to plant some vegetables so that we can have fresh vegetables to eat when they are ready,” said Anna. “How long does that take?” asked Erik. He liked vegetables sometimes, especially tomatoes. “It will take several months before anything is ready to eat,” answered Anna. The kids were surprised. “Several months? Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long?” asked Julie. “Why not just go to the store and buy them?” “Patience, my sweeties! Don’t you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself?” replied Anna. “And if all of you come to help, it won’t be too much work.” “I’ll help you, Grandma,” offered Erik. He put down the basketball and went to look at the gardening tools Anna had laid out. “What should we do first?” Fred and Julie came over to have a look, too. Firstly, Anna taught Erik how to use a travel (小铲子) to dig rows of small holes for the seeds. Next, she showed Julie how to pour the seeds into each hole carefully. And then it was Fred’s job to cover up the holes with soil little by little. Finally, Julie wrote the vegetable names on sticks that Erik pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we have planted,” said Anna. After planting everything, the kids took turns in filling up the watering pot so that Anna could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow. “From now on, we just water them a little each day, and with some time and sunshine, we’ll have some delicious things to eat in the summer,” said Anna. 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。 Every time the kids came to visit, they would rush into the garden as fast as possible. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Every time the kids came to visit, they would dash into the garden as fast as possible. Not surprisingly, they were going to see how the garden was growing. After watering the vegetables, they would remove the weeds that popped up around the plants and apply organic fertilizer under Nana’s instruction if necessary. As time went by, the plants were growing taller and stronger. When they noticed the vegetables flowering and producing fruits, their eyes were sparkling like diamonds. Never had they looked forward to summer like this before. But they clearly knew that it’s worthwhile to wait for the inviting results. Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.” Hearing that, the children all jumped into the air and cheers filled the whole garden. Nana gave them each baskets and, together they gathered some of the cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes, which we’re turned into delicacies. “Who wants to help eat this fresh salad?” Nana asked. “Me!” everyone responded loudly. Tasting the salad, they thought nothing could be more delicious, because it was they who grew these vegetables. They all learned that many hands make light work and patience really pays off. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在一个阳光明媚的早春早晨，安娜和她的孙子朱莉、弗雷德和埃里克在后院快乐地玩耍。他们决定种植一些蔬菜，并且耐心照顾这些蔬菜，最后获得了丰收。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“每次孩子们来拜访，他们都会尽可能快地冲进花园。”可知，第一段可描写孩子们照顾蔬菜的经过以及期待夏天到来。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，安娜说：‘到了第一次收获的时候了。’”可知，第二段可描写孩子们收获时的表现以及感悟。 2.续写线索：孩子们冲进花园——照顾蔬菜——期待结果——收获——欢呼高兴——孩子们感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①查看：see/examine ②去除：remove/wipe out ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①值得：worthwhile/worthy ②清楚：clearly/ fully aware of 【点睛】[高分句型1] After watering the vegetables, they would remove the weeds that popped up around the plants and apply organic fertilizer under Nana’s instruction if necessary.
