The room was decorated with an under-the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions, ” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it's really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆) . The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care. Memory cafes don’t offer formal treatment or support. At a memory cafe, having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 24. What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like? A. Academic. B. Religious. C. Relaxing. D. Mysterious. 25. What can we learn about the memory cafe? A. It is affordable. B. It occupies large space. C. It is equipped with doctors. D. It exists in every community. 26. Why did Kennedy come to the memory cafe? A. To get emotional comfort. B. To regain his lost memory. C. To reduce his physical pain. D. To receive professional treatment. 27. What makes memory cafes different from adult day care? A. They offer easy social environment. B. Caregivers can attend the gatherings. C. People in these cafes have more fun. D. They focus on formal mental support. C When Alice from Alice in Wonderland consumes a mysterious bottle labeled “drink me”, she quickly shrinks (收缩) to the floor. The Magic School Bus once got attacked by white blood cells when it shrunk down to explore a sick person’s bloodstream. And Ant-Man is famous for using his shrinking technology in Marvel films. But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life? Unfortunately, physicists say that technology with the power to make someone bite-sized would break the laws of physics. Still, scientists have fun thinking over how an imaginary shrinking machine might work. “It drives you to think about: What determines the size of things?” says physicist James Kakalios. Finding the answer can involve looking into the hearts of atoms (原子). Atoms are the building blocks of almost all matter in the universe. One theoretical way to shrink something would be to reduce the size of its atoms. But an atom’s size depends on several fundamental constants (常数). Those constants don’t change. If shrinking atoms wouldn’t work, what about shortening the space between them? Atoms come together to build all kinds of molecules (分子). Atoms and molecules in the human body, though, are already packed closely together. Trying to get them even closer would be challenging. You could try to force the atoms together. But Kakalios says that even a tiny reduction in size would require enormous amounts of pressure. That would be bad news for any person who tried it on themselves. Kakalios says, “It would just flatten you, and you don’t want to do that.” Even if Alice or Ant-Man were somehow able to bypass the laws of physics to survive shrinkage, they would face other problems. For example, as their eyes shrunk, their ability to process visible wavelengths of light might become worse. Kakalios also notes that the science of making things smaller is not entirely imaginary. Although technology may not be able to shrink people humans are remarkably good at shrinking our technology. 28. How does the author bring in the topic? A. By telling real life stories. B. By imagining our future life. C. By introducing the background. D. By describing scenes from some works. 29. What might scientists think of the technology of shrinking a person? A. Illegal. B. Inhuman. C. Imperfect. D. Impractical. 30. Which statement might Kakalios agree with? A. The atom’s size is changeable. B. The atoms and the molecules link tightly. C. Narrowing the space between atoms is easy. D. The science of making objects smaller is impossible. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. What Is Behind the Technology of Shrinking? B. How Is the Shrinking Technology Being Used? C. Should We Describe Shrinking Technology in Literature? D. Could We Ever Develop the Technology to Shrink Ourselves? D Chicago Booth’s Christopher K. Hsee is a behavioral scientist focusing on what he calls hedonomics (幸福经济学) . Rather than studying how to produce more “stuff”, hedonomics studies how to extract more happiness from the existing objects. Hsee and his Chicago Booth colleague Reid Hastie redefined the term in 2008. Their idea of hedonomics is based on the idea that people don't need more resources to be happier; they need to use existing resources differently. For example, suppose a child enjoys playing with wooden blocks at first but grows tired of them. Hedonomics suggests the child doesn't need more blocks to be happy; she needs to change how she plays with those blocks. The same principle applies to experiences. Instead of watching a TV show without control, watch two episodes (集) per day. Or better yet, apply another method: say you have six episodes to watch. You could watch two a day, or you could watch one on the first day, two on the second day, and three on the third day. That’s an increasing order. Or you could do the opposite, in a decreasing order, by watching three at the start and winding down. Instead of making full use of their resources, many people instead seek to add resources. Hsee, who has devoted much of the past decade to researching hedonomics, says that can have the opposite effect and lead to a phenomenon known as the “hedonic treadmill (享乐跑步机) ”. This phrase refers to the tendency of people enjoying happiness temporarily and keeping on finding new positive stimulation. Hsee, who grew up in China, recalls when “just having the ability to buy a cheap bicycle” in his city was a big deal. But by 2012 in China, nearly every family in cities had, on average, a color TV, air conditioner, washing machine, and refrigerator. Almost nine in ten had a personal computer. Hsee sees his friends, some now able to afford expensive cars, stuck on the hedonic treadmill as they seek to get more well-being. The problem is that it takes more and more things to make people happy. 32. What is the meaning of hedonomics? A. Following your ideas. B. Producing more resources. C. Pursuing what you want. D. Treasuring what you have. 33. What does the underlined part “winding down” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Watching closely. B. Reducing gradually. C. Observing carefully. D. Checking regularly. 34. What do people do when they are on the hedonic treadmill? A. They try to get more. B. They use resources wisely. C. They tend to be more positive. D. They lack material enjoyment. 35. What does the author truly want to convey in the last paragraph? A. People are content with their income. B. China’s economy is developing fast. C. One’s desires can hardly be satisfied. D. It’s impossible to achieve real happiness. 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。 Like us, plants drink water to stay healthy—not too little, but not too much! When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. ___36___ That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. ___37___ Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it's time to water. ___38___ If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. ___39___ Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. ___40___ Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an adult, making new friends can often feel complicated (复杂的) .

The storm took away their belongings as well as their hope. It left residents numb (麻木) , without enough energy to take care of themselves, let alone help somebody else. Night fell. David parked his car beside an apartment building. The building was made of stone, one of the few on this side of New Orleans. He opened his trunk, dragged out four grocery bags of food and closed the trunk with his elbow. He noticed the scratches (划痕) on his car. Someone would scratch the side of his door with a key or a rock every time he left it for the hour he was making visits. “It was only a car,” he ignored them and entered the building. It was Wednesday, the day he regularly arrived after work. The apartment building was home to two old ladies. They couldn’t walk out and lived week by week, waiting for David’s visits. They told him that people were angry at the world because of the storm. They told him how much they missed the sound and laughter of children playing in the street. They hoped that scene came back someday soon. Cleaning up after a hurricane took time. It was more than pumping out the water and cleaning out the mud. It was more than replacing dirty carpets and furniture. It was about bringing back hope, faith and care for each other. David knew this so well that he spent his life helping people suffering in storms. That was why he drove to the apartment building every Wednesday to deliver food, a smile and hope to those lonely people. This Wednesday, when David arrived as usual and parked his car, a young boy was standing there. “I will watch your car,” the boy said. “I can make sure nobody can scratch your car.” 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。 David looked at the boy and smiled. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, people often heard laughter from the ladies’ apartment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 江西省2025—2026学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语试卷 试卷共8页，67小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 考查范围：必修第一册~选择性必修第一册Unit4。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 3. 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。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

W: Five and seven. What about The Mystery of Muldoon? M: That’s aimed at five to ten-year-olds. W: So if I take my children, I can expect them to enjoy it more than I do? M: I think so. If you’d like something for yourself and your husband and leave your children at home, you might like to see Fire and Flood — it’s about events that really happened in Stretton two hundred years ago, and children might find it rather frightening. W: Oh, thanks for the warning. And finally, what about Silly Sailor? M: That’s for young and old alike. In fact, it won an award in the Stretton Drama Festival a couple of months ago. W: OK. Well, thanks for all the information and goodbye. M: Goodbye. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What might Greg be? A. A collector. B. A painter. C. A guide. 19.

C 【解析】 【原文】M: Good morning, and welcome to the museum—one with a remarkable range of exhibits, which I’m sure you’ll enjoy. My name is Greg, and I’ll tell you about the various collections as we go round. But before we go, let me just give you a taste of what we have here. Well, for one thing, we have a fine collection of twentieth and twenty-first century paintings, many by very well-known artists. I’m sure you’ll recognise several of the paintings. This is the museum that attracts the largest number of visitors, so it’s best to go in early in the day, before the crowds arrive. Then there are the nineteenth-century paintings. The museum was opened in the middle of that century, and several of the artists each donated one work—to get the museum started, as it were. So they’re of special interest to us—we feel closer to them than to other works. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Where Art Meets Nature: Wandering in These Scenic NJ Sculpture (雕塑) Gardens Laurelwood Arboretum’s Sculpture Trail This 30-acre walking trail shows 15 sculptures.

The room was decorated with an under-the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions, ” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it's really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆) . The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care. Memory cafes don’t offer formal treatment or support. At a memory cafe, having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 24. What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like? A. Academic. B. Religious. C. Relaxing. D. Mysterious. 25. What can we learn about the memory cafe? A. It is affordable. B. It occupies large space. C. It is equipped with doctors. D. It exists in every community. 26. Why did Kennedy come to the memory cafe? A. To get emotional comfort. B. To regain his lost memory. C. To reduce his physical pain. D. To receive professional treatment. 27. What makes memory cafes different from adult day care? A. They offer easy social environment. B. Caregivers can attend the gatherings. C. People in these cafes have more fun. D. They focus on formal mental support. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了能够给失忆者以及认知有损伤的人们提供轻松社交环境和安慰的记忆咖啡馆。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working.(参加者在以水下为主题的工作表上涂色。他们喝咖啡，吃甜点。一轮快速的问答让每个人的大脑都活跃起来。)”和第四段“We all have a good time going around.( 我们在一起玩得很开心。)”和“You know, we all try to make it fun.(你知道，我们都尽量让它变得有趣。)”可知，记忆咖啡馆的气氛是轻松的。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space.(这些为认知障碍患者及其照顾者举办的聚会相对便宜且易于举办——通常唯一的费用是场地的小额租金。)”可知，记忆咖啡馆价格合理。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis.(它们给了他目标，Kennedy说，并帮助他应对诊断带来负面情绪。)”可知，Kennedy来记忆咖啡馆是为了获得情感上的安慰。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care.(照顾者的参与是记忆咖啡馆与其他为认知障碍患者服务的项目，如成人日托的区别所在。)”可知，记忆咖啡馆与成人日托的区别在于照顾者可以参加聚会。故选B。 C When Alice from Alice in Wonderland consumes a mysterious bottle labeled “drink me”, she quickly shrinks (收缩) to the floor. The Magic School Bus once got attacked by white blood cells when it shrunk down to explore a sick person’s bloodstream. And Ant-Man is famous for using his shrinking technology in Marvel films. But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life? Unfortunately, physicists say that technology with the power to make someone bite-sized would break the laws of physics. Still, scientists have fun thinking over how an imaginary shrinking machine might work. “It drives you to think about: What determines the size of things?” says physicist James Kakalios. Finding the answer can involve looking into the hearts of atoms (原子). Atoms are the building blocks of almost all matter in the universe. One theoretical way to shrink something would be to reduce the size of its atoms. But an atom’s size depends on several fundamental constants (常数). Those constants don’t change. If shrinking atoms wouldn’t work, what about shortening the space between them? Atoms come together to build all kinds of molecules (分子). Atoms and molecules in the human body, though, are already packed closely together. Trying to get them even closer would be challenging. You could try to force the atoms together. But Kakalios says that even a tiny reduction in size would require enormous amounts of pressure. That would be bad news for any person who tried it on themselves. Kakalios says, “It would just flatten you, and you don’t want to do that.” Even if Alice or Ant-Man were somehow able to bypass the laws of physics to survive shrinkage, they would face other problems. For example, as their eyes shrunk, their ability to process visible wavelengths of light might become worse. Kakalios also notes that the science of making things smaller is not entirely imaginary. Although technology may not be able to shrink people, humans are remarkably good at shrinking our technology. 28. How does the author bring in the topic? A. By telling real life stories. B. By imagining our future life. C. By introducing the background. D. By describing scenes from some works. 29. What might scientists think of the technology of shrinking a person? A. Illegal. B. Inhuman. C. Imperfect. D. Impractical. 30. Which statement might Kakalios agree with? A. The atom’s size is changeable. B. The atoms and the molecules link tightly. C. Narrowing the space between atoms is easy. D. The science of making objects smaller is impossible. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. What Is Behind the Technology of Shrinking? B. How Is the Shrinking Technology Being Used? C. Should We Describe Shrinking Technology in Literature? D. Could We Ever Develop the Technology to Shrink Ourselves? 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过文学作品中的场景引出主题，探讨了人类是否能够像文学作品和电影中那样缩小自己的身体，并分析了缩小技术背后的科学原理和面临的挑战。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Alice from Alice in Wonderland consumes a mysterious bottle labeled “drink me”, she quickly shrinks (收缩) to the floor. The Magic School Bus once got attacked by white blood cells when it shrunk down to explore a sick person’s bloodstream. And Ant-Man is famous for using his shrinking technology in Marvel films. But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life?(《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中的爱丽丝喝了一瓶标有“喝我”的神秘药水后，迅速缩小到地板上。《魔法校车》在缩小以探索病人的血液时，曾受到白细胞的攻击。《蚁人》以在漫威电影中使用缩小技术而闻名。但在现实生活中，人类真的能变得这么小吗？)”可知，作者通过描述一些文学作品中的场景来引出“人类真的能变得这么小吗？”这一主题。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unfortunately, physicists say that technology with the power to make someone bite-sized would break the laws of physics.(遗憾的是物理学家指出，能将人类缩至一口大小技术实则违背了物理定律)”可知，科学家们认为缩小人的技术是不切实际的。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Atoms come together to build all kinds of molecules (分子). Atoms and molecules in the human body, though, are already packed closely together. (原子结合在一起构成各种分子。然而，人体中的原子和分子已经紧密地结合在一起)”第五段中“You could try to force the atoms together. But Kakalios says that even a tiny reduction in size would require enormous amounts of pressure. That would be bad news for any person who tried it on themselves. Kakalios says, “It would just flatten you, and you don’t want to do that.”(你或许试图将原子强行挤压在一起。但Kakalios指出，即便只是缩小一丁点，也需要施加巨大的压力。这对任何尝试者来说都将是致命噩耗——“你会被瞬间压扁，这绝对不是你想要的结局。”)”可知，Kakalios认为要通过挤压缩小人类是很困难的，说明他会赞同“原子和分子已经很紧密地结合在一起”这一说法。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life?(但是人类在现实生活中真的能变得这么小吗)”可知，文章主要探讨了人类是否能够像文学作品和电影中那样缩小自己的身体，并分析了缩小技术背后的科学原理和面临的挑战。故D项“Could We Ever Develop the Technology to Shrink Ourselves?(我们能否开发出缩小自己的技术)”概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D Chicago Booth’s Christopher K. Hsee is a behavioral scientist focusing on what he calls hedonomics (幸福经济学) . Rather than studying how to produce more “stuff”, hedonomics studies how to extract more happiness from the existing objects. Hsee and his Chicago Booth colleague Reid Hastie redefined the term in 2008. Their idea of hedonomics is based on the idea that people don't need more resources to be happier; they need to use existing resources differently. For example, suppose a child enjoys playing with wooden blocks at first but grows tired of them. Hedonomics suggests the child doesn't need more blocks to be happy; she needs to change how she plays with those blocks. The same principle applies to experiences. Instead of watching a TV show without control, watch two episodes (集) per day. Or better yet, apply another method: say you have six episodes to watch. You could watch two a day, or you could watch one on the first day, two on the second day, and three on the third day. That’s an increasing order. Or you could do the opposite, in a decreasing order, by watching three at the start and winding down. Instead of making full use of their resources, many people instead seek to add resources. Hsee, who has devoted much of the past decade to researching hedonomics, says that can have the opposite effect and lead to a phenomenon known as the “hedonic treadmill (享乐跑步机) ”. This phrase refers to the tendency of people enjoying happiness temporarily and keeping on finding new positive stimulation. Hsee, who grew up in China, recalls when “just having the ability to buy a cheap bicycle” in his city was a big deal. But by 2012 in China, nearly every family in cities had, on average, a color TV, air conditioner, washing machine, and refrigerator. Almost nine in ten had a personal computer. Hsee sees his friends, some now able to afford expensive cars, stuck on the hedonic treadmill as they seek to get more well-being. The problem is that it takes more and more things to make people happy. 32. What is the meaning of hedonomics? A. Following your ideas. B. Producing more resources. C. Pursuing what you want. D. Treasuring what you have. 33. What does the underlined part “winding down” in paragraph 4 mean? A Watching closely. B. Reducing gradually. C. Observing carefully. D. Checking regularly. 34. What do people do when they are on the hedonic treadmill? A. They try to get more. B. They use resources wisely. C. They tend to be more positive. D. They lack material enjoyment. 35. What does the author truly want to convey in the last paragraph? A. People are content with their income. B. China’s economy is developing fast. C. One’s desires can hardly be satisfied. D. It’s impossible to achieve real happiness. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了幸福经济学（hedonomics）这一概念，指出人们不需要更多资源来获得幸福，而是需要以不同的方式使用现有资源，并指出人们往往陷入“享乐跑步机”现象，即不断追求更多物质享受却难以获得持久幸福。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Their idea of hedonomics is based on the idea that people don’t need more resources to be happier; they need to use existing resources differently.(他们对幸福经济学的理解是基于这样一种观点，即人们不需要更多的资源来获得幸福；他们需要以不同的方式使用现有资源。)”可知，幸福经济学指的是珍惜你所拥有的。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Or better yet, apply another method: say you have six episodes to watch. You could watch two a day, or you could watch one on the first day, two on the second day, and three on the third day. That’s an increasing order. Or you could do the opposite, in a decreasing order(或者更优的是，采用另一种方法：假设你有六集要追，既可以每天看两集，也可以第一天看一集、第二天看两集、第三天看三集——这是递增的方式；也可以反过来，用递减的方式)”可知，作者提出了两种看电视剧的方式，一种是每天递增的方式，即第一天1集，第二天2集，第三天3集；另一种方式则相反，是每天递减。由此可知，wind down应该表示“逐渐减少”。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Hsee, who has devoted much of the past decade to researching hedonomics, says that can have the opposite effect and lead to a phenomenon known as the “hedonic treadmill”. This phrase refers to the tendency of people enjoying happiness temporarily and keeping on finding new positive stimulation.(Hsee在过去十年中大部分时间都致力于研究幸福经济学，他说这可能会产生相反的效果，并导致一种被称为“享乐跑步机”的现象。这个短语指的是人们暂时享受幸福并不断寻找新的积极刺激的趋势。)”可知，当人们处于享乐跑步机上时，他们会试图得到更多。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hsee sees his friends, some now able to afford expensive cars, stuck on the hedonic treadmill as they seek to get more well-being. The problem is that it takes more and more things to make people happy.(Hsee看到他的朋友们，有些人现在能买得起昂贵的汽车，却陷入了享乐跑步机，因为他们寻求更多的幸福。问题是，让人们快乐需要越来越多的东西。)”可知，作者在最后一段真正想表达的是一个人的欲望很难得到满足。故选C。 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。 Like us, plants drink water to stay healthy—not too little, but not too much! When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. ___36___ That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. ___37___ Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it's time to water. ___38___ If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. ___39___ Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. ___40___ Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. D 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了给植物浇水的最佳时间及相关注意事项，包括浇水频率、判断土壤干湿的方法、浇水时间选择等。 【36题详解】 根据上文“If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week.(如果你的植物长在地里，一般来说，植物每周需要1英寸的水。)”以及下文“That doesn't usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain.(通常情况下，那样做是行不通的。考虑到下雨的情况，每周大约深浇三次水，植物生长得最好。)”可知，上文说植物每周需要1英寸的水，下文说每周大约深浇三次水植物生长得最好，说明每周一次浇水是不够的。F选项“(然而，这并不意味着每周浇一次水。)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it's time to water.(摸摸你的土壤！当土壤粘在手上，你可以把它捏成一个球时，说明土壤足够湿润。但是，如果它很少能在你手中粘在一起，或者如果表面看起来很硬，或者有裂缝，那么它可能很干燥，是时候浇水了。)”可知，本段主要介绍了通过触摸土壤来判断是否需要浇水。B选项“(但是不要不加思考就浇水。)”符合语境，引出下文判断土壤干湿的方法。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“If so, that suggests it needs water.(如果是这样，那就表明它需要浇水。)”可知，设空处应是一个判断土壤是否需要浇水的条件。D选项“(看看土壤表面以下一英寸是否干燥。)”符合语境，下文的“so”指代的就是土壤表面以下一英寸干燥这种情况。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too.(最好在早上露水还在叶子上的时候浇水，这样叶子到晚上就会变干。然而，如果你不能在早上浇水，晚上浇水也可以。)”可知，本段主要介绍了浇水的时间选择。E选项“(只是要避开中午时段以避免水分流失。)”符合语境，是对上文浇水时间选择的补充。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches.(信不信由你，有时候浇水的最佳时间是在下雨期间或雨后立即浇水，特别是如果阵雨只有半英寸左右的水。原因是你想同时加入足够的水，以确保渗透到5或6英寸深。)”以及下文“Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil.(小阵雨不会在土壤中积聚水分储备。)”可知，上文说浇水要确保渗透到5或6英寸深，下文说小阵雨不会在土壤中积聚水分储备，说明如果小阵雨后不立即浇水，植物只能得到表面的水分。G选项“(如果你再等一天浇水，你只会增加表面的水分。)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选G项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an adult, making new friends can often feel complicated (复杂的) .

The storm took away their belongings as well as their hope. It left residents numb (麻木) , without enough energy to take care of themselves, let alone help somebody else. Night fell. David parked his car beside an apartment building. The building was made of stone, one of the few on this side of New Orleans. He opened his trunk, dragged out four grocery bags of food and closed the trunk with his elbow. He noticed the scratches (划痕) on his car. Someone would scratch the side of his door with a key or a rock every time he left it for the hour he was making visits. “It was only a car,” he ignored them and entered the building. It was Wednesday the day he regularly arrived after work. The apartment building was home to two old ladies. They couldn’t walk out and lived week by week, waiting for David’s visits. They told him that people were angry at the world because of the storm. They told him how much they missed the sound and laughter of children playing in the street. They hoped that scene came back someday soon. Cleaning up after a hurricane took time. It was more than pumping out the water and cleaning out the mud. It was more than replacing dirty carpets and furniture. It was about bringing back hope, faith and care for each other. David knew this so well that he spent his life helping people suffering in storms. That was why he drove to the apartment building every Wednesday to deliver food, a smile and hope to those lonely people. This Wednesday, when David arrived as usual and parked his car, a young boy was standing there. “I will watch your car,” the boy said. “I can make sure nobody can scratch your car.” 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。 David looked at the boy and smiled. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, people often heard laughter from the ladies’ apartment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 David looked at the boy and smiled. He knelt down, eyes level with the kid, and asked, “Why do you want to watch over the car for me?” The boy kicked the ground softly and replied, “My grandma says you help everyone — this is how I can help back.” His words warmed David’s heart, and he held out a hand: “Would you like to join me and spend some time with the old ladies?” The boy’s face lit up and then he grabbed David’s hand. He had made up his mind to do the same as David. From then on, people often heard laughter from the ladies’ apartment. It was the boy. He started visiting the old ladies too — bringing fresh flowers he picked or interesting drawings. He listened to their stories of old New Orleans and sang off-key songs they loved. Every Wednesday, the boy would come out early to wait for David. They would go to the ladies’ apartment together. Their laughter brought life to the frustrated community. Slowly, more laughter was heard and the community was coming back to life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了飓风过后，David每周三都去公寓楼帮助两位老太太，某天一个小男孩主动帮忙看车，David邀请他一起去看望老太太。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“David看着男孩，微笑着。”可知，第一段可描写David询问男孩为何帮忙看车，男孩回答后，David邀请他一起去看望老太太，男孩欣然答应。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，人们经常听到老太太公寓里传来笑声。”可知，第二段可描写男孩开始定期去看望老太太，给她们带来快乐，社区也逐渐恢复生机。 2. 续写线索：询问原因——男孩回答——邀请一起去——男孩答应——男孩定期看望——老太太快乐——社区恢复生机 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②回答：reply/answer/respond ③抓住：grab/grasp/catch hold of 情绪类 ①轻轻地：softly/gently ②沮丧的：frustrated/depressed 【点睛】[高分句型1] My grandma says you help everyone — this is how I can help back.(运用了省略连词that的宾语从句和连接副词how引导的表语从句) [高分句型2] He started visiting the old ladies too — bringing fresh flowers he picked or interesting drawings.(运用了省略关系代词的限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $江西省2025至2026学年度第一学期期中考试第一部分听力做题时，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。现在是听力试音时间。Hello. international friends club.
