From mechanical dogs navigating dangerous ruins to swarms of collaborative micro-fliers, they are expanding the boundaries of human action in various forms. Spot Over 1,000 of these yellow robots, Spot, are already checking factories and power plants. And now the New York City Fire Department is starting to use the dog-like devices for search-and-rescue missions. In April 2024 a Spot surveyed the remains of a collapsed car park that was considered too unstable for fire crews to enter. Spot can also send back video footage, carry up to 14 kg and when fitted with an add-on “arm”, open doors and press switches. Lightning Swarm Inspired by fireflies, these robots are tiny and can give out light in various colours. The scientists intend the robots to use their lights to signal to and track each other: a low-power communication strategy for a lightweight robot. “We envision sending hundreds or more of these tiny flying robots into a disaster site, and having them collectively search for survivors,” says MIT robotics engineer Prof Kevin Chen. “Once a survivor is found, they’ll pass the information out to the operators.” Trail Blazers At the Bajiao Fire Rescue Station, in Yantai, eastern China, a firefighter tests out a fire-fighting robot. For a few years, China has been promoting the technology, which allows human firefighters to stay safely outside the danger zone while controlling robot firefighters to put out fires at chemical plants and in subways. One major advantage of this approach is fire resistance—Trail Blazers can work at temperatures of 1,000℃ for over 30 mins. Rooster Thanks to its clever design, Rooster can roll across surfaces or fly around to examine almost any type of disaster site, moving through narrow passages and windows, or over obstacles and up or down staircases. Designed to assist in search operations, the robot uses cameras and sensors to scan a space, so that rescuers don’t need to enter dangerous areas. Rooster can also communicate with search teams and other robots via a radio link. 1. Which robot can be operated in extremely hot situations? A. Spot. B. Lightning Swarm. C. Trail Blazers. D. Rooster. 2. What do these robots have in common? A. They can operate in high-risk environments. B. They can help conduct rescues. C. They are equipped with perception (感知) tools for environmental detection. D. They are modeled after animals. 3. Where is this text most probably from? A. A science fiction. B. An operating handbook. C. A shopping guideline. D. A science magazine. B In a church parking lot in Connecticut, Jim Curry starts the furnace (火炉) in his mobile blacksmith workshop. The furnace glows orange and lets off a low roar. It’ll get up to 2,000 degrees, hot enough to soften the metal of a tray of disassembled shotgun parts. A crowd is watching, and Curry picks out a 9-year-old boy named Oliver to help him. Oliver swings cautiously at first, flakes of red-hot metal falling around his feet. He reshapes it into a trowel (小铲子) that could be used to plant flowers in a garden. “It was exciting,” Oliver says. “I love the fact that you can take metal that’s random and shape it into something useful.” Curry is a co-founder of Swords to Plowshares Northeast, an organization putting on this event, which helps police departments manage their gun buyback (回购) programs and repurpose the items into gardening tools. Curry says he was inspired by a Mennonite group in Colorado that reforged (重新锻造) useless items into garden tools. Those doing the repurposing are often prisoners, volunteer blacksmiths or eager participants. The finished tools are donated to community gardens and agricultural high schools and the harvested vegetables are donated to soup kitchens and homeless shelters, according to the group’s website. Mary Ann Osborne first volunteered with Swords to Plowshares when a family member fell victim to violence. She helps collect items through police buybacks. “You see the items lying there and then you see them get broken down,” she says. “And then you see people hammer them, and then you see people digging their gardens and something grows. You actually see the transformation.” She says the hammer and forge are powerful symbols and the negative forces can be reshaped into something positive and peaceful. Curry wears a necklace around his neck. “It’s made out of pieces of an AK-47,” he says. “I break it apart, reshape it, then transform it into the sign of peace — the pigeon. And that’s why I wear it.” 4. What can be learned about Oliver according to the text? A. He helped Curry start the furnace in the workshop. B. He was the first one to be picked by Curry to help. C. He initially swung the tool without any caution. D. He thought it was exciting to shape random metal into a useful trowel. 5. Which of the following can best describe Curry? A. Cautious and selfless. B. Devoted and unambitious. C. Careless and adventurous. D. Innovative and sympathetic. 6. What does Mary Ann Osborne value most about the programme? A. The technical skill of blacksmithing. B. The symbolic change from violence to growth. C The money saved by police departments. D. The publicity the event receives. 7. What message does Curry’s necklace convey? A. Old guns are valuable items. B. Religious faith can be fashionable. C. Destruction can be turned into hope. D. Weapons should be collected and displayed. C How do you beat the summer heat? If you’re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it’s the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak (非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day? This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice. Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper, president of Trane Technologies, a company that did the installation (装置). Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4,000 sites worldwide. The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there’s a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found. “We take water, and add some other elements in it,” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M University. “So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range.” While ice batteries aren’t being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they’re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid (电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It’s a win-win for all. 8. What do we know about the way Eleven Madison cools the building? A. It uses air conditioning all day long. B. It freezes water during the daytime when electrical use is low. C. It creates large amounts of ice every night. D. It has an ice battery system on the ground floor. 9. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 3? A. The necessity of ice batteries. B. The popularity of the technology. C. The features of the high-rise. D. The significance of air conditioning. 10. Why were some elements added in the water? A. To make the water cleaner. B. To use the energy fully. C. To control the temperature. D. To add space occupation. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Process of Ice Battery Production B. Power-hungry Air Conditioning C. Advantages of Storing Electricity D. A Creative System for Cooling D An international research team has discovered that wild chimps (黑猩猩) in Tanzania’s Gombe National Park demonstrate basic engineering skills when making tools. They deliberately select flexible plant materials to create effective“fishing rods” for catching termites (白蚁), showing advanced understanding of material properties. Published in the journal iScience, these findings provide new insights into how animals develop tools using easily damaged materials — a poorly understood aspect of human technological evolution. Termites serve as an important food source for chimps, rich in protein and nutrients. To extract these insects from their complicated underground nests, chimps require thin, bendable sticks that can navigate winding tunnels. Researchers tested plant materials using portable equipment to measure flexibility. They found that plants ignored by chimps were 175% stiffer than those regularly chosen. Even among plants growing near termite nests, those showing chimp bite marks produced more flexible tools than untouched ones. Lead researcher Dr. Alejandra Pascual-Garrido, who has studied chimp tools for over ten years, stated: “This is the first clear evidence that wild chimps select tool materials based on mechanical performance.” Remarkably, similar plant choices appear in chimp groups living up to 5,000 km from Gombe, suggesting shared engineering principles in their tool-making culture. This indicates chimps may possess“folk physics” — an instinctive understanding of material properties that guides their tool selection. Their engineering skills involve careful material testing rather than random choices. “By combining animal behavior studies with material science, we better understand how chimps evaluate tool effectiveness,” explained Dr. Pascual-Garrido. The research raises questions about how such knowledge is passed between generations, such as young chimps learning by observing their mothers. It also helps scientists understand early human tool-making skills that left no physical evidence. Dr. Adam van Casteren, a biomechanics expert, noted: “Though wooden tools rarely survive in ancient sites, the mechanical rules behind effective tools remain consistent across species.” This comparative approach helps reconstruct physical requirements that shaped early human technology, offering clues about prehistoric tool use that archaeology cannot preserve. 12. Why are specific plant materials often chosen by chimps as tools? A. They are more plentiful. B. They are commonly used. C. They fit into termite nests. D. They attract many termites. 13. What does the underlined word “stiffer” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Lighter to carry. B. Easier to shape. C. Slower to dry. D. Harder to bend. 14. What does the study reveal about chimp tool-making? A. It follows an intentional process. B. It is passed down through genes. C. It proves chimps are as wise as humans. D. It is an ability limited to a specific group. 15. What is highlighted in the last paragraph? A. Potential criticism. B. Study significance. C. Supporting evidence. D. Research background. 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。 Visiting a science museum is a highly underrated leisure activity.

He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in. Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak. Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency. One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: It was finally his turn. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 龙岩市一级校联盟2025—2026学年第一学期半期考联考 高二英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分) 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂 黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在 答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，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.

(这种方法的一个主要优点是耐火性——Trail Blazers可以在1000℃的温度下工作30多分钟)”可知，Trail Blazers能够在极热的情况下工作，而其他机器人并没有提及有这样的能力。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the fields of disaster rescue and industrial inspection, robots are becoming powerful assistants and pioneers for humans. (在灾难救援和工业检查领域，机器人正成为人类强大的助手和先驱)”；同时根据Spot部分中“Over 1,000 of these yellow robots, Spot, are already checking factories and power plants. And now the New York City Fire Department is starting to use the dog-like devices for search-and-rescue missions.(超过 1000 台这种名为“Spot”的黄色机器人已经开始在工厂和发电厂进行检查工作。而如今，纽约市消防部门也开始将这种类似狗的设备用于搜救任务。)”可知，该机器人用于搜救任务；根据Lightning Swarm部分中“We envision sending hundreds or more of these tiny flying robots into a disaster site, and having them collectively search for survivors(我们设想将数百乃至更多这样的微型飞行机器人送入灾难现场，让它们共同搜寻幸存者。)”可知，该机器人用于灾难现场搜索幸存者；同时根据Trail Blazers部分中“At the Bajiao Fire Rescue Station, in Yantai, eastern China, a firefighter tests out a fire-fighting robot.(在位于中国东部烟台的Bajiao消防救援站，一名消防员正在测试一款消防机器人。)”可知，该机器人用于消防救援；以及根据Rooster部分中“Thanks to its clever design, Rooster can roll across surfaces or fly around to examine almost any type of disaster site, moving through narrow passages and windows, or over obstacles and up or down staircases.( 得益于其巧妙的设计，Rooster能够在各种表面上滚动移动，或者飞行动作，从而能够对几乎任何类型的灾难现场进行勘查，它能够穿过狭窄的通道和窗户，跨越障碍物，沿着楼梯向上或向下移动。)”可知，该机器人用于协助搜索行动。由此可以推断出这些机器人的共同点是它们都能帮助开展救援工作。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了在灾难救援和工业检查领域使用的几种不同类型的机器人，包括它们的功能、特点等信息，属于科学科技类的内容，由此推断文章出自一本科学杂志。故选D。 B In a church parking lot in Connecticut, Jim Curry starts the furnace (火炉) in his mobile blacksmith workshop. The furnace glows orange and lets off a low roar. It’ll get up to 2,000 degrees, hot enough to soften the metal of a tray of disassembled shotgun parts. A crowd is watching, and Curry picks out a 9-year-old boy named Oliver to help him. Oliver swings cautiously at first, flakes of red-hot metal falling around his feet. He reshapes it into a trowel (小铲子) that could be used to plant flowers in a garden. “It was exciting,” Oliver says. “I love the fact that you can take metal that’s random and shape it into something useful.” Curry is a co-founder of Swords to Plowshares Northeast, an organization putting on this event, which helps police departments manage their gun buyback (回购) programs and repurpose the items into gardening tools. Curry says he was inspired by a Mennonite group in Colorado that reforged (重新锻造) useless items into garden tools. Those doing the repurposing are often prisoners, volunteer blacksmiths or eager participants. The finished tools are donated to community gardens and agricultural high schools and the harvested vegetables are donated to soup kitchens and homeless shelters, according to the group’s website. Mary Ann Osborne first volunteered with Swords to Plowshares when a family member fell victim to violence. She helps collect items through police buybacks. “You see the items lying there and then you see them get broken down,” she says. “And then you see people hammer them, and then you see people digging their gardens and something grows. You actually see the transformation.” She says the hammer and forge are powerful symbols and the negative forces can be reshaped into something positive and peaceful. Curry wears a necklace around his neck. “It’s made out of pieces of an AK-47,” he says. “I break it apart, reshape it, then transform it into the sign of peace — the pigeon. And that’s why I wear it.” 4. What can be learned about Oliver according to the text? A. He helped Curry start the furnace in the workshop. B. He was the first one to be picked by Curry to help. C. He initially swung the tool without any caution. D. He thought it was exciting to shape random metal into a useful trowel. 5. Which of the following can best describe Curry? A. Cautious and selfless. B. Devoted and unambitious. C. Careless and adventurous. D. Innovative and sympathetic. 6. What does Mary Ann Osborne value most about the programme? A. The technical skill of blacksmithing. B. The symbolic change from violence to growth. C. The money saved by police departments. D. The publicity the event receives. 7. What message does Curry’s necklace convey? A. Old guns are valuable items. B. Religious faith can be fashionable. C. Destruction can be turned into hope. D. Weapons should be collected and displayed. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jim Curry创立的组织Swords to Plowshares Northeast，通过将回收的枪支重新锻造成园艺工具，传递了从暴力到和平与生长的象征性转变，展现了创新与同情心的力量。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““It was exciting,” Oliver says. “I love the fact that you can take metal that’s random and shape it into something useful.” (“这令人兴奋，”奥利弗说。“我喜欢这样一个事实，你可以把随机的金属塑造成有用的东西。”)”可知，奥利弗认为把随机的金属塑造成有用的小铲子是令人兴奋的。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Curry says he was inspired by a Mennonite group in Colorado that reforged (重新锻造) useless items into garden tools. (Curry说，他的灵感来自科罗拉多州的一个门诺派团体，他们将无用的物品重新锻造成园艺工具。)”可知，Curry受到门诺派团体启发，将无用的枪支重新锻造成有用的园艺工具，说明他具有创新精神；再结合第三段中“The finished tools are donated to community gardens and agricultural high schools and the harvested vegetables are donated to soup kitchens and homeless shelters, according to the group’s website. (该组织的网站上说，制作完成的工具被捐赠给社区花园和农业高中，收获的蔬菜被捐赠给施粥所和无家可归者收容所。)”可知，Curry将制作完成的工具捐赠给社区花园和农业高中，说明他富有同情心。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““You see the items lying there and then you see them get broken down,” she says. “And then you see people hammer them, and then you see people digging their gardens and something grows. You actually see the transformation.” She says the hammer and forge are powerful symbols and the negative forces can be reshaped into something positive and peaceful. (“你看到这些东西躺在那里，然后看到它们被分解，”她说。“然后你看到人们锤打它们，然后你看到人们在花园里挖掘，然后有东西生长。你实际上看到了转变。”她说，锤子和铁匠铺是强有力的象征，消极的力量可以被重塑成积极和平的东西。)”可推知，Mary Ann Osborne认为这个项目最有价值的是从枪支到园艺工具，从暴力到生长的象征性转变。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It’s made out of pieces of an AK-47,” he says. “I break it apart, reshape it, then transform it into the sign of peace — the pigeon. And that’s why I wear it.” (“它是用AK-47的碎片制成的，”他说。“我把它拆开，重塑它，然后把它变成和平的象征——鸽子。这就是我戴它的原因。”)”可知，Curry的项链是由象征毁灭的AK-47打造成的和平鸽，传达了毁灭可以变成希望的信息。故选C项。 C How do you beat the summer heat? If you’re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it’s the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak (非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day? This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice. Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper, president of Trane Technologies, a company that did the installation (装置). Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4,000 sites worldwide. The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there’s a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found. “We take water, and add some other elements in it,” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M University. “So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range.” While ice batteries aren’t being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they’re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid (电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It’s a win-win for all. 8. What do we know about the way Eleven Madison cools the building? A. It uses air conditioning all day long. B. It freezes water during the daytime when electrical use is low. C. It creates large amounts of ice every night. D. It has an ice battery system on the ground floor. 9. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 3? A. The necessity of ice batteries. B. The popularity of the technology. C. The features of the high-rise. D. The significance of air conditioning. 10. Why were some elements added in the water? A. To make the water cleaner. B. To use the energy fully. C. To control the temperature. D. To add space occupation. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Process of Ice Battery Production B. Power-hungry Air Conditioning C. Advantages of Storing Electricity D. A Creative System for Cooling 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍纽约市一栋摩天大楼采用夜间制冰、白天用冰制冷的冰电池系统，既缓解电网压力又降低电费，是创新降温方案。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper, president of Trane Technologies, a company that did the installation (装置).(在地下四层，一套冰电池系统会在夜间用电量较低时将水冷冻，白天再利用这些冰为大楼降温。“每晚大约能制造50万磅冰块，”特灵科技公司总裁霍利・佩珀说道，该公司负责了这套装置的安装工作。)”可知，Eleven Madison大楼通过夜间制造大量冰块，利用冰电池系统为建筑降温。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally.

This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice.(但如果你能利用非高峰用电时间储存冷气，第二天再使用呢？这个想法在纽约市一栋用冰制冷的摩天大楼里成为了现实。)”可知，文章核心围绕冰电池这一创新降温系统展开，介绍其原理、优势和应用。因此“一种创新的降温系统”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D An international research team has discovered that wild chimps (黑猩猩) in Tanzania’s Gombe National Park demonstrate basic engineering skills when making tools. They deliberately select flexible plant materials to create effective“fishing rods” for catching termites (白蚁), showing advanced understanding of material properties. Published in the journal iScience, these findings provide new insights into how animals develop tools using easily damaged materials — a poorly understood aspect of human technological evolution. Termites serve as an important food source for chimps, rich in protein and nutrients. To extract these insects from their complicated underground nests, chimps require thin, bendable sticks that can navigate winding tunnels. Researchers tested plant materials using portable equipment to measure flexibility. They found that plants ignored by chimps were 175% stiffer than those regularly chosen. Even among plants growing near termite nests, those showing chimp bite marks produced more flexible tools than untouched ones. Lead researcher Dr. Alejandra Pascual-Garrido, who has studied chimp tools for over ten years, stated: “This is the first clear evidence that wild chimps select tool materials based on mechanical performance.” Remarkably, similar plant choices appear in chimp groups living up to 5,000 km from Gombe, suggesting shared engineering principles in their tool-making culture. This indicates chimps may possess“folk physics” — an instinctive understanding of material properties that guides their tool selection. Their engineering skills involve careful material testing rather than random choices. “By combining animal behavior studies with material science, we better understand how chimps evaluate tool effectiveness,” explained Dr. Pascual-Garrido. The research raises questions about how such knowledge is passed between generations, such as young chimps learning by observing their mothers. It also helps scientists understand early human tool-making skills that left no physical evidence. Dr. Adam van Casteren, a biomechanics expert, noted: “Though wooden tools rarely survive in ancient sites, the mechanical rules behind effective tools remain consistent across species.” This comparative approach helps reconstruct physical requirements that shaped early human technology, offering clues about prehistoric tool use that archaeology cannot preserve. 12. Why are specific plant materials often chosen by chimps as tools? A. They are more plentiful. B. They are commonly used. C. They fit into termite nests. D. They attract many termites. 13. What does the underlined word “stiffer” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Lighter to carry. B. Easier to shape. C. Slower to dry. D. Harder to bend. 14. What does the study reveal about chimp tool-making? A. It follows an intentional process. B. It is passed down through genes. C. It proves chimps are as wise as humans. D. It is an ability limited to a specific group. 15. What is highlighted in the last paragraph? A. Potential criticism. B. Study significance. C. Supporting evidence. D. Research background. 【答案】12.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于黑猩猩制作工具能力的研究，揭示了它们如何根据材料特性选择适合的植物材料来制作工具，并探讨了这一发现对人类早期工具制作技能研究的启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Termites serve as an important food source for chimps, rich in protein and nutrients. To extract these insects from their complicated underground nests, chimps require thin, bendable sticks that can navigate winding tunnels.(白蚁是黑猩猩的重要食物来源，富含蛋白质和营养物质。为了从复杂的地下巢穴中获取这些昆虫，黑猩猩需要使用细长且可弯曲的树枝，因为这些树枝能够穿过蜿蜒的隧道)”可知，黑猩猩选择特定的植物材料来制作工具，是因为这些材料可以适应白蚁巢穴的复杂结构，便于它们捕捉白蚁。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“To extract these insects from their complicated underground nests, chimps require thin, bendable sticks that can navigate winding tunnels.(为了从复杂的地下巢穴中获取这些昆虫，黑猩猩需要使用细长且可弯曲的树枝，因为这些树枝能够穿过蜿蜒的隧道)”以及第三段划线词所在的句子“They found that plants ignored by chimps were 175% stiffer than those regularly chosen.(他们发现，被黑猩猩忽视的植物比它们经常选择的植物stiffer175%)”可知，黑猩猩需要细小、可弯曲的棍子来捕捉白蚁，那么，被黑猩猩忽视的植物就是更硬，更不易弯曲的，因此可推断出“stiffer”在这里的意思是“更硬，更不易弯曲”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“This indicates chimps may possess “folk physics” — an instinctive understanding of material properties that guides their tool selection. Their engineering skills involve careful material testing rather than random choices.(这表明黑猩猩可能具备‘民间物理学’——一种对物质特性的本能理解，这种理解指导着它们对工具的选择。它们的工程技能体现在对材料的仔细测试上，而非随意的选择)”可知，研究揭示了黑猩猩在制作工具时遵循了一个有意识的过程，它们会根据材料的机械性能来选择合适的材料。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The research raises questions about how such knowledge is passed between generations, such as young chimps learning by observing their mothers. It also helps scientists understand early human tool-making skills that left no physical evidence. Dr. Adam van Casteren, a biomechanics expert, noted: “Though wooden tools rarely survive in ancient sites, the mechanical rules behind effective tools remain consistent across species.” This comparative approach helps reconstruct physical requirements that shaped early human technology, offering clues about prehistoric tool use that archaeology cannot preserve.(这项研究引发了关于此类知识在代际之间如何传承的疑问，比如幼年黑猩猩是通过观察母亲来学习的。它还帮助科学家理解早期人类的工具制作技能，这些技能没有留下任何实物证据。生物力学专家亚当·范·卡斯特伦博士指出：‘尽管木制工具在古代遗址中很少能保存下来，但有效工具背后的机械原理在不同物种中是保持一致的。’这种比较方法有助于重建塑造早期人类技术的物理要求，为考古学无法保存的史前工具使用情况提供了线索)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了这项研究的意义。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Visiting a science museum is a highly underrated leisure activity.

So, what could possibly stop you from giving one _____45_____ try? 【答案】36. consisting 37. Classically 38. in 39. have added 40. combination 41. to make 42. until 43. which 44. stands 45. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一种中国传统小吃——糖葫芦。文章首先说明了其组成和传统原料，接着介绍了其口味和制作方法，最后提到如今糖葫芦的多样化及在旅游景点购买的情况。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：糖葫芦，又称冰糖葫芦，是一种传统的中国小吃，由串在棍子上的硬糖衣水果组成。句中已有谓语动词is，所以consist要用非谓语动词形式，consist of表示由……组成，没有被动形式，所以用现在分词形式作后置定语修饰snack。故填consisting。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：传统上，糖葫芦是由富含维生素C的山楂制成的。空处修饰整个句子，要用副词形式，classical的副词形式是classically，意为传统上，句首单词首字母大写。故填Classically。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：传统上，糖葫芦是由富含维生素C的山楂制成的。be rich in是固定短语，意为“富含……”，所以空处填介词in。故填in。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：近年来，糖葫芦制作者通过使用樱桃、草莓、菠萝或葡萄等其他水果，为这种传统小吃增添了多样性。根据时间状语In recent times可知，句子描述的是从过去到现在一段时间内发生的动作，要用现在完成时，其结构为have/has + 过去分词，主语tanghulu makers是复数，助动词用have，add的过去分词是added。故填have added。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：使用山楂果的传统糖葫芦据说尝起来是酸甜结合的味道。根据空前的a和空后的of可知，空处要填名词，combine的名词形式是combination，意为“结合”，符合语境。故填combination。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：糖葫芦在家里制作比你想象的要容易。be + 形容词 + to do是固定结构，意为“做某事是……的”，所以空处填动词不定式to make。故填to make。 【42题详解】 考查连词。句意：诀窍是使用正确的糖水比例，并将糖水混合物煮沸直到温度达到150℃。根据句意可知，its temperature reaches 150℃是时间状语，表示“直到……为止”，所以用连词until引导。故填until。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：然后迅速将串在棍子上的水果浸入糖混合物中，这将在水果表面形成一层薄薄的硬糖。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：如果你想自己尝尝这种粘稠的美食，你可以在中国大多数热门旅游景点附近找到糖葫芦摊。stand意为“摊位”，是可数名词，根据语境可知，这里表示不止一个摊位，要用复数形式stands。故填stands。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：那么，还有什么能阻止你尝试一下呢？give...a try是固定短语，意为“尝试……”，所以空处填不定冠词a。故填a。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，上周你参加了学校组织的“美化校园之墙壁绘画(Beautiful Campus Wall Painting)”设计大赛，并获得了一等奖。请你给英国笔友Chris写信分享此次经历，内容包括： (1)介绍你设计的画； (2)你的感受。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】范文： Dear Chris, How are you?

He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in. Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak. Determined to lend a hand Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency. One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: It was finally his turn. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It was finally his turn. Jack stood up slowly and edged towards the front, his hands trembling. His classmates looked on, ready to see what was in store for Jack. He stood there tongue-tied with his face turning pale. When he looked around the classroom, Katherine was just smiling at him encouragingly. So Jack took a deep breath and concentrated on his presentation. Words flowed from his lips, despite some pauses and repetitions. He even added gestures to better express himself. It seemed that confidence had found him. When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. The applause washed over Jack, and with it came a wave of confidence. His grateful eyes met Katherine's, her smile now a symbol of his journey to self-assurance. No longer defined by his stutter, Jack felt a sense of belonging. His presentation wasn't just an assignment; it was a testament to his ability to overcome personal obstacles. As the room quieted, Jack returned to his seat, his heart lighter, knowing that he had made a lasting impression on his classmates and himself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jack和他的科学老师Katherine之间的互动，以及Jack如何逐渐克服口吃、提升自信并赢得同学们掌声的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“终于轮到他了。”以及第二段首句内容“Jack做完报告后，全场爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第一段可描写Jack克服内心的恐惧，完成了自己的科学报告。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jack做完报告后，全场爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第二段可描写Jack非常感激老师的鼓励，也克服了对口吃的恐惧。 2.续写线索：Jack是一名新生，他内心藏着一个秘密，那就是他口吃——为了不被同学们嘲笑，他将自己隐没起来——他的老师Katherine注意到了Jack，于是她经常帮助Jack鼓励Jack——随着时间的推移，Jack发现自己说话越来越有信心——一天，Katherine说所有学生都要在全体同学面前做一个科学项目的报告——Jack非常紧张，如坐针毡——终于轮到Jack，他鼓起勇气，开始了自己的科学汇报，当他看到自己的老师时，他信心倍增——Jack成功地完成了回报，得到了所有同学的称赞 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：concentrate on/focus on ②克服：overcome/get over ③返回：return/go back to 情绪类 ①鼓励地：encouragingly/ in an encouraging manner ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】His classmates looked on, ready to see what was in store for Jack.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】When he looked around the classroom, Katherine was just smiling at him encouragingly.（运用了when引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
