Mu与divide是被动关系，小说是动作承受者，所以用被动语态；又因为主语是单数，所以填is divided。 64.events考查名词复数。and连接两个并列的名词，people是复数，故此处用所给名词的复数形式events,表示“具体的人和事件”。 65.clearly考查词形转换。修饰动词describes要用副词，clear的副词形式是clearly,意为“清楚地”。 【答案与解析】

B For Ye Jiaxing,a 32-year-old Beijing native,the sight of Chinese rose plants lining the roads always welcomes her home.Returning from business trips,she feels deeply connected to the city when seeing these flowers from her taxi,“The roses in full bloom(花期)always make me feel less tired,”she says,. Chinese roses bloom for over 200 days yearly.Each spring,they transform Beijing's Third,Fourth,and Fifth Ring Roads into green belts.According to Zhao Shiwei,Chief Engineer of Beijing Institute of Landscape Architecture,roadside planting began in 2003 to improve street landscaping. This flower became Beijing's official symbol in 1987.Three years later,massive plantings prepared the city for the 1990 Asian Games.However,challenges appeared:short-stemmed varieties suffered from wind and car pollution because they were planted so close to the ground. "After hundreds of experiments,climbing roses proved best for ring roads,"Zhao explained.These now grow well on central dividers across the city.Chen Jungi of Beijing Gardening Bureau notes,"They bloom 3-4 times annually from Spring Festival to October,each phase lasting 10 days.In 2023 alone,50 million plants covered 2,500+meters of streets and parks." Creating new varieties remains difficult.Beijing Institute's decade-long effort developed "Beijing Jinxi"a cold/heat-resistant champion at the International Horticultural Exhibition.Senior researcher Feng Hui emphasizes, "This variety uniquely lives through Beijing's extreme temperatures." 【高二期中考·英语第3页（共8页）】 FJ 24.Why were roses planted along Beijing's roads in 2003? A.To attract tourists. B.To study plant growth. C.To honor the Asian Games. D.To improve street views. 25.What problem did early Chinese rose varieties face? A.Too few flowers.

C Listening to music by yourself might not seem like a social activity,but researchers have published a study that suggests how doing so can have valuable social benefits. "It's a great way to give yourself a social improvement and increase your well-being,"says Elaine Paravati, the study's author,who conducted the research while completing her research at the University at Buffalo. The study's view,however,differs from a lot of previous researches on the social aspects of music,which often focus on how music brings people together,as listeners and performers.Paravati instead looked at music enjoyed in isolation(孤立). Humans have a basic need to belong,which strongly motivates our behavior.Failing to connect with others can lead to depression,anxiety and low self-esteem().There are traditional ways to fill this need,like spending time with family and friends,but there are non-traditional ways as well,like activities that might not be immediately recognized as social. These are known as social surrogates(),which can help with loneliness,isolation and social threats, like rejection,just as well as time spent with others.Examples include forming one-sided bonds with celebrities, engaging in virtual social worlds,and surrounding oneself with reminders of loved ones."Listening to music alone operates as a social surrogate along all three of those pathways,"says Paravati. "We found that listening to one's favorite music helped individuals feel less lonely,"says Paravati."But someone's favorite music was more effective at this than just listening to music in general.In other words,there is something special about putting on your favorite song and jamming out." Paravati says future research might explore the impact of music styles or the individual differences among the three surrogate pathways and which might be more important than the other two. 28.What might previous research on music's social role most probably ignore? A.Private listening as social connection. B.Music's physical health benefits. C.Differences between music styles. D.Music's impact on workplace efficiency. 29.How does favorite music help according to Paravati? A.By improving memory. B.By replacing social activities. C.By increasing professional skills. D.By reducing feelings of loneliness. 【高二期中考·英语第4页（共8页）】 FJ 30.What does Paravati's suggestion for future research imply about her current findings? A.They are only applicable to young people. B.They may not cover all key parts. C.They require more real-life cases checking. D.They think too highly of music's anti-loneliness effect. 31.What could be the best title for the text? A.Music Types Matter B.Share Music,Share Joy C.Alone with Your Favorite Songs D.Concerts Beat Loneliness D Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers.You haven't spoken a word.You haven't heard one either.Yet something is already being said.You might feel the slight pressure of a look from across the room. You sense comfort in the way another person smiles-not just with their lips,but with their whole face.You know who is confident,who is nervous,who seems open,and who seems closed.All this happens before a single word is spoken. This isn't magic.It's the mind's secret language,It's the silent,invisible force beneath every human interaction, shaping our relationships,influencing our judgments,and connecting us in ways that words never could. Long before you learned to talk,you were already a master of silent communication.Babies just days old can detect eye contact.They respond to tone,rhythm and facial expressions.They cry to signal need and smile to build bonds(联系).No vocabulary is needed This is the foundation of what neuroscientists call social cognition-the brain s ability to understand and respond to others.Our brains are built for connection.We don't just observe others;we simulate()their actions inside ourselves.When you see someone smile,your brain activates the same regions that fire when you yourself smile.This is the basis of mirror neurons,a system discovered in the 1990s that helps explain how we “feel”what others feel. From babyhood,we start building a theory of mind.This means understanding that others have their own separate thoughts,feelings and intentions.We use this knowledge constantly,mostly without speaking.You don't need someone to say,"I'm depressed."You recognize it in how they shut a door firmly or avoid meeting your eyes. This skill to sense others-to read their mental state from their face,posture,gestures,voice tone and even silence-is the essential foundation of human connection.It explains our talent for storytelling,teamwork,and caring.It's also why misunderstandings can happen so easily. 32.What can we learn about babies according to paragraph 3? A.They bond through smiles. B.They learn words quickly. C.They ignore facial expressions. D.They rarely signal needs. 33.Why does the author mention"mirror neurons"? A.To describe brain diseases. B.To explain sharing others'feelings. C.To argue against social cognition. D.To prove speech's importance. 34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A.How brains process language. B.Why people avoid eye contact. C.The discovery of babies'abilities. D.The role of the theory of mind. 35.What ability is a key function of the theory of mind? A.Predicting weather changes. B.Creating complex vocabulary. C.Understanding others'intentions. D.Memorizing scientific terms. 【高二期中考·英语第5页（共8页）】 FJ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Enjoying Your Theme Park Adventure A trip to a theme park promises excitement,but a little planning can make the experience even better. Start by researching the park before you go.Check its official website or app for maps,ride descriptions and show schedules.Many parks,like Disneyland or Universal Studios,offer real-time updates on wait times, helping you strategize your day.36.Buying tickets online in advance often saves both time and money,and some parks even allow you to reserve access to popular attractions before arrival. Arriving early is another smart move.Gates often open before the official start time,and being among the first inside means shorter lines for major rides.37 Consider using skip-the-line options if available.Many parks offer paid fast-track systems,such as Universal's Express Pass or Disney's Genie+,which let you bypass long waits for key rides.While these cost extra,they can be worth it if you want to fit more into your visit.38.Lines for food can be just as long as those for rides, so try having lunch before noon or having an early dinner. Don't forget to take care of yourself.Theme parks involve a lot of walking,so wear comfortable shoes and take breaks when needed.39 -catch a show,explore air-conditioned shops,or simply relax in a shaded area. Finally,end your day on a high note.Many parks host impressive nighttime events,like fireworks or light parades.40· A.Midday heat offers a perfect chance to rest indoors B.Head straight to popular rides first to beat the crowds C.Another strategy is adjusting meal times to avoid queues D.Watching a show during mealtime refreshes your energy E.Find a viewing spot early since these events attract masses F.This preparation step is key to avoiding crowds and delays G.Buying sunscreen at the park entrance is also recommended 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分40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、CD四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 A young man was driving his new car down a neighborhood street to the gas station when he noticed a young boy waving his arms wildly.The boy seemed to be 41 to get his attention,but the man kept driving, thinking it was just a child 42 around.A few moments later,he drove back and saw the boy again,this time looking more 43.The man decided to 44 and rolled down his window."What's wrong?"he asked.
