2025-2026 学年度上学期期中考试 英语学科试题 第一部分 听力理解（共两节，满分30分） 略 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分2.5分） 第一节 （共15题，每小题2.5分，共37.5分） A Hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires are a few examples of unavoidable natural disasters. Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone In 1985, scientists began mapping a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorous in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge area of marine waste in the North Pacific Ocean. It is made up of tiny pieces of plastic brought together by the North Pacific Gyre (北太平洋环流), which is formed by four ocean currents — California, North Equatorial, Kuroshio, and North Pacific. Three Mile Island Accident One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment. 2017 California Wildfires Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and raising large numbers of animals can increase greenhouse gases in the air, making the Earth warmer. In October 2017, northern California had one of the most deadly wildfire seasons in history. Higher temperatures and drought made the fire spread quickly. The 2017 wildfires burned about 245,000 acres of land and killed at least 47 people. 1. What do the four disasters have in common? A. They are all natural disasters. B. They all happened in coastal areas. C. They can all repair themselves naturally. D. They were all caused by human activities. 2. What is special about The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone? A. It happened because the water lost too much oxygen. B. It was caused by the release of radioactive materials. C. More greenhouse gases in the air led to the disaster. D Tiny plastic pieces carried by ocean currents caused it. 3. Which disaster was related to nuclear power? A. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone. B. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. C. Three Mile Island Accident. D. 2017 California Wildfires. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了美国历史上由人类活动引起的四起灾难性环境事件。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault. (纵观历史，人类引发了一些最具灾难性的环境事件。以下是美国历史上四起由人为过失导致的此类事件。)”可知，这四个灾难的共同之处在于它们都是由人类活动引起的。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone中“For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorous in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles. (多年来，人类一直向密西西比河排放杀虫剂、工业废料和有毒化学物质。当这条河流入墨西哥湾时，水中包括氮和磷在内的额外营养物质会导致海藻突然快速生长，消耗过多的氧气。2021年，受灾区域达到了6,334平方英里。)”可知，墨西哥湾死亡区的特别之处在于它发生是因为水失去了太多的氧气。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Three Mile Island Accident中“One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment. (美国核电史上最严重的事故之一发生在1979年3月28日。这场灾难发生在宾夕法尼亚州哈里斯堡附近的三哩岛核电站。该机组损坏严重，无法修复，并向环境中释放了放射性物质。)”可知，三里岛事故与核能有关。故选C。 B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’ workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述牛津某小学的校长Tina Farr在学校推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，调整教学环境，促进学生健康发展并取得良好效果的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.”(该校五年级学生（年龄在 9 至 10 岁之间）曾难以在狭小空间里安静坐好，于是她移除了所有家具。“效果立竿见影，十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。”)”可知，Farr为学校带来的改变是灵活的学习环境。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Farr had long changed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognize what we do and it doesn’t take any motto planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”(Farr长期以来一直倡导游戏的价值，并努力推动游戏融入课间休息时间。“老师们会认可我们所做的事，而且相比常规方法，这种方式并不需要额外的规划。”在为她所带的一年级和二年级学生落实好游戏化学习后，Farr接着开始审视其他方面，试图找出那些行不通的做法并进行改进。“如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展规律，我们为什么还要坚持呢？”)”以及第四段中调整家具后学生专注力和自我调节能力提升的效果可知，Farr推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，主要是为了促进孩子的健康和成长。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”(“效果立竿见影，且十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。” 一位老师这样写道：“孩子们的自我调节能力有了很大提升，他们能更主动地静下心来学习了。”)”可知，新的座位安排（灵活的学习环境）让学生更专注了。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. (六月份，这所学校顺利通过了英国教育标准局（Ofsted）的检查。“检查员完全理解我们的游戏化学习模式。”Farr 表示，她的教学方法是可以推广的。“孩子们的投入程度让我非常惊喜，太了不起了。” 她说。)”可知，该段主要通过学校通过检查、检查员认可、学生进步显著等内容，体现Farr推行的方法的有效性。故选D项。 C From wearable devices to smartphones, it has never been easier for us to track our daily physical activity, or lack of it. But just how much should we aim for if we want to live a longer and healthier life? Two recent studies suggest that walking 7,000 steps per day is a good target. “Specifically, our research shows that the decreased risk of dying appeared to plateau out at about 7,000 steps,” says Melody Ding, a professor of public health at the University of Sydney, who is the latest researcher to dive into the evidence, as part of an effort to update the physical activity guideline in her country. “There were still some improvements for those who took more than 7,000 steps, but the added health benefits across the population became smaller and smaller.” Ding’s team reviewed data collected from more than 160,000 adults around the world on the link between step count and a variety of health outcomes. Here was one of the key findings: Taking 7,000 steps per day was associated with nearly a 50% lower risk of dying,compared with the bare minimum of 2,000 steps. “It definitely doesn’t do harm if you go beyond 7,000,” Ding adds. “So for anyone who’s already doing 10,000 and more, there is no point of going back, but for the folks who are finding it hard to get there,7,000 could be a really realistic target.” Ding’s research also shows that, on the lower end, even modest jumps can have a major impact on our well-being. For example, simply jumping from 2,000 to 4,000 times in a day was accompanied by nearly a 36% lower risk of dying. Ding and her team have also tried to pin down whether speed makes a difference. Here,the new study could not make any definitive conclusion. “We actually didn’t see an association once we considered the total number of steps,” says Ding. “So, essentially, the total number of steps or jumps, regardless of how fast they were doing, seemed to have a benefit,” she says. Amanda Paluch, who has been working on step count and health benefits, has reached a similar conclusion, though her work suggests the targets may also vary with age. “We were seeing that old people did not seem to need as many steps compared to young adults,” says Paluch. 8. Which of the following best explains “plateau out” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Fall down rapidly. B. Increase very slowly. C. Rise very sharply. D. Come to a sudden stop. 9. What will Melody Ding most probably advise us to do? A. Take 4,000 steps per day. B. Reduce the daily count to 10,000 steps. C. Jump 7,000 times each day. D. Do a minimum of 2,000 jumps a day. 10. What can be ignored according to text? A. Age. B. Health. C. Walking speeds. D. Step targets. 11. Which word best describes Paluch’s attitude to the other study? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了两项研究表明每天走7000步对健康有益及步数与健康的关系。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Specifically, our research shows that the decreased risk of dying appeared to plateau out at about 7,000 steps(具体来说，我们的研究表明，死亡风险的降低在大约7000步时似乎plateau out)”以及“There were still some improvements for those who took more than 7,000 steps, but the added health benefits across the population became smaller and smaller.(对于步数超过7000步的人来说，仍有一些改善，但整个人群的额外健康益处越来越小。)”可知，死亡风险在7000步左右趋于平稳，即增加得非常缓慢。plateau out的意思是“趋于平稳，增加得非常缓慢”。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Ding’s research also shows that, on the lower end, even modest jumps can have a major impact on our well-being. For example, simply jumping from 2,000 to 4,000 times in a day was accompanied by nearly a 36% lower risk of dying.(Ding的研究还表明，在低端，即使是适度的跳跃也会对我们的健康产生重大影响。例如，一天从跳跃2000次增加到4000次，死亡风险降低了近36%。)可知，Melody Ding可能会鼓励我们每天至少跳2,000下。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Ding and her team have also tried to pin down whether speed makes a difference. Here, the new study could not make any definitive conclusion.(Ding和她的团队还试图确定速度是否会产生影响。在这方面，新的研究无法得出任何明确的结论。)”以及““So, essentially, the total number of steps or jumps, regardless of how fast they were doing, seemed to have a benefit,” she says.(“所以，本质上，步数或跳跃的总数，无论他们做得有多快，似乎都有好处，”她说。)”可知，步行速度可以被忽略。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Amanda Paluch, who has been working on step count and health benefits, has reached a similar conclusion, though her work suggests the targets may also vary with age.(Amanda Paluch一直在研究步数和健康益处，她得出了类似的结论，尽管她的研究表明目标也可能因年龄而异。)”可知，Paluch对另一项研究持积极态度。故选A。 D Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria remain significant global health threats. While man-made repellents (驱虫剂) effectively discourage these insects, their chemical components often cause harmful reactions such as skin redness and breathing issues. Natural alternatives, such as essential oils from lavender plants, have shown repellent properties but quickly lose their effect in sunlight and dry up fast, making them hard to use widely. Addressing these challenges, two material engineers from Soochow University in China drew inspiration from nature to design a long-lasting mosquito-repellent fabric. Their study, published in the Journal of Pest Science, focuses on wrapping lavender oil in tiny silk-based containers to achieve lasting protection. The team turned to silk protein, which breaks down naturally and comes from silkworms. Known for its flexibility and slow-release capabilities, silk protein was combined with gum arabic — a natural polymer (聚合物) from trees — to form tiny stable capsules. By continuously stirring the mixture at warm temperatures, researchers successfully added lavender oil into these capsules. Adjusting the oil concentration allowed them to create samples with 5% to 15%lavender content. Once cooled, the capsules settled and were bonded to cotton fabric pieces for testing. To evaluate effectiveness, the team fashioned the treated fabric into gloves and conducted trials with human volunteers. Participants wore either treated or untreated gloves and then put their arms near areas with mosquitoes. Results revealed striking differences: untreated gloves attracted an average of 15 mosquitoes per five-minute session, while gloves with 15% lavender oil saw fewer than one mosquito landing. Even after 40 machine washes, the high-concentration fabric maintained strong repellency, with only 2.5 mosquitoes landing on post-treatment gloves — evidence of its durability. This breakthrough combines eco-friendly materials with advanced material engineering. Unlike traditional repellents, the silk-based capsules gradually release essential oils without frequent reapplication, offering a safer, more sustainable solution. The technology not only reduces reliance on harmful chemicals but also appeals to growing demand for biodegradable (可生物降解的) products. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By comparing the limitations of existing repellents. B. By directly stating the research team’s conclusions. C. By listing statistical data on mosquito-borne diseases. D. By quoting experts’ opinions on chemical components. 13. What experimental condition is necessary during capsule formation? A. Exposure to light for 24 hours. B. Addition of man-made polymers. C. Immediate freezing after adding oil. D. Continuous stirring at warm temperatures. 14. What is the main advantage of the new fabric compared to traditional repellents? A. It combines man- made materials with machine washes. B. It relieves mosquito-borne diseases through reapplication. C. It provides long-lasting protection without frequent reapplication. D. It activates stronger repellent effects during several washing cycles. 15. Which statement best summarizes the new fabric’s significance? A. It reduces fabric durability by using natural polymers. B. It proves silk protein is worse than man-made polymers. C. It joins environmentally safe materials with modern high-tech. D. It brings down lavender oil’s medicinal properties in repellent action. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了为解决现有驱虫剂局限，中国苏州大学工程师以蚕丝蛋白和阿拉伯胶制成含薰衣草精油的胶囊，结合棉布制成面料，驱虫持久且耐洗，安全环保，兼具科技与可持续性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria remain significant global health threats. While man-made repellents (驱虫剂) effectively discourage these insects, their chemical components often cause harmful reactions such as skin redness and breathing issues. Natural alternatives, such as essential oils from lavender plants, have shown repellent properties but quickly lose their effect in sunlight and dry up fast, making them hard to use widely. (像疟疾这类由蚊子传播的疾病仍是全球重大的健康威胁。虽然人工驱虫剂能有效驱赶这些昆虫，但其化学成分往往会引发皮肤发红、呼吸问题等有害反应。薰衣草精油等天然替代品虽有驱虫功效，却在阳光下易失效且很快变干，难以广泛使用。)”可知，第一段通过对比两种现有驱虫剂的局限性引入主题。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By continuously stirring the mixture at warm temperatures, researchers successfully added lavender oil into these capsules. (通过在温热环境下持续搅拌混合物，研究人员成功地将薰衣草油添加到了这些胶囊中。)”可知，在胶囊形成过程中，需要在温热条件下持续搅拌。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Unlike traditional repellents, the silk-based capsules gradually release essential oils without frequent reapplication, offering a safer, more sustainable solution. (与传统的驱虫剂不同，这种基于蚕丝的胶囊能够持续缓慢释放精油，无需频繁重新涂抹，从而提供一种更安全、更可持续的解决方案。)”可知，与传统的驱虫剂相比，这种新型面料的主要优势是能提供持久的防护效果，无需频繁重新涂抹。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This breakthrough combines eco-friendly materials with advanced material engineering. (这一突破将环保材料与先进的材料工程技术相结合。)”可知，这种新型面料的重要意义是它将环保材料与现代高科技相结合。故选C。 第二节（共5题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Loud noise can be very damaging to your hearing, whether it’s a loud burst or years of exposure. Approximately 15 percent of adults 18 years of age or older report some trouble hearing. ____16____ The good news is that taking action now may protect you from hearing loss later in life. Get a baseline hearing test. Most people have never had a hearing test. ____17____ At your next physical, ask for a hearing test as part of your routine checkup. A hearing test gives your audiologist a baseline that they can compare with future results to monitor the progression of hearing loss. ____18____ While you are watching TV or using mobile devices, keep the volume at a comfortable level. It should be loud enough to make sure you can hear very well, but not so loud that when you leave the room, you can still hear it from another part of your home. Wear protective hearing devices. Think ear protection before you’re exposed to any noisy environment, such as rock concerts or airports. When you are in a noisy environment, wear protective hearing devices such as earplugs or protective earphones. ____19____ Have proper earphones. If you often listen to music on earphones using a portable music or video device, it’s a good idea to have earphones that fit the unique shape of your ear canal, and block outside noise. ____20____ A. The risk rises as we age. B. Monitor the volume of your devices. C. However, it benefits you to go against that trend. D. Meanwhile, you will find the sound truly superior. E.

Despite multiple warnings and complaints from the teacher about his son’s excessive (过多的) talking, the situation didn’t improve. So, Brad decided to take matters into his own hands and gave his son, Bradley, a final warning. Brad made a bold promise to his son, saying, “Hey, if we get another call, I’m going to show up in school and sit beside you in class. ” The 17-year-old Bradley probably thought his dad was just bluffing (唬人) and continued his chatty (爱闲聊的) ways. But when Brad received another email from the teacher, he knew he had to follow through with his threat. On the morning of the important day, Brad’s wife woke him up and said, “Brad, it’s time for you to go to school. ” It struck him what he had said. He just couldn’t but a bit regret, “Oh, no, what have I done? ” Despite his unwillingness, Brad was determined to keep his word and headed to his son’s high school. The sight of Brad sitting next to Bradley in class was a source of amusement for Bradley’s friends, who found the situation ridiculous. Bradley, on the other hand, was less than thrilled. He couldn’t believe that his dad had actually gone through with his threat, The embarrassment of having his own father sitting beside him in class was enough to make him regret his behavior. As the class started, Bradley could feel all eyes on him and his dad. He could sense the judgment and the whispers from his classmates. “Hey, Bradley, it looks like your dad is really serious about this, ” one of his friends whispered across the hallway, trying to hold back a laugh. “Yeah, this is so embarrassing, ” Bradley whispered, his cheeks turning a deep shade of red. 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。 But as the class progressed, something unexpected happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, Bradley hesitantly approached his dad with newfound appreciation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 But as the class progressed, something unexpected happened. Brad didn’t just sit there quietly, he actively participated in the lesson. He listened intently, raised his hand to answer questions, and even asked questions himself. Bradley couldn’t help but notice the surprised looks on his teacher’s face and the nods of approval. As the day went on, it became clear to Bradlley that his dad’s intention was not to embarrass him but to teach him a valuable lesson. After school, Bradley hesitantly approached his dad with newfound appreciation. “Thanks, Dad, ” he said quietly. “I didn’t realize you were trying to teach me something important. I know the importance of taking education seriously and respecting my teachers. I realize my attitude is not only affecting my own learning but also disrupting the learning environment for others. ” Bradley’s dad put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. “I love you, son. Sometimes we need to learn things in a hard way, but I’m always here for you.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了布拉德·霍华德是德克萨斯州的一位父亲，他受够了儿子在物理课上的捣乱行为。尽管老师多次警告和抱怨他儿子说话过多，但情况并没有好转。因此，布拉德决定亲自处理这件事，并给了儿子布拉德利最后的警告。于是他开始上课的时候坐在儿子旁边，还积极上课回答问题，最终让儿子认识到了自己的错误，开始认真学习。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但随着课程的进行，意想不到的事情发生了”可知，第一段可描写布拉德上课时的表现以及对儿子的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“放学后，布拉德利带着新的感激之情，犹豫地走近父亲”可知，第二段可描写儿子的感悟。 2.续写线索：上课——布拉德回答问题——老师赞许——儿子惊讶——儿子感激——儿子感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①参加：participate in/take part in ②影响：affect/influence ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②专注：intently/attentively 【点睛】[高分句型1] I didn’t realize you were trying to teach me something important.

Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone In 1985, scientists began mapping a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorous in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge area of marine waste in the North Pacific Ocean. It is made up of tiny pieces of plastic brought together by the North Pacific Gyre (北太平洋环流), which is formed by four ocean currents — California, North Equatorial, Kuroshio, and North Pacific. Three Mile Island Accident One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment. 2017 California Wildfires Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and raising large numbers of animals can increase greenhouse gases in the air, making the Earth warmer. In October 2017, northern California had one of the most deadly wildfire seasons in history. Higher temperatures and drought made the fire spread quickly. The 2017 wildfires burned about 245,000 acres of land and killed at least 47 people. 1. What do the four disasters have in common? A. They are all natural disasters. B. They all happened in coastal areas. C. They can all repair themselves naturally. D. They were all caused by human activities. 2. What is special about The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone? A. It happened because the water lost too much oxygen. B. It was caused by the release of radioactive materials. C. More greenhouse gases in the air led to the disaster. D. Tiny plastic pieces carried by ocean currents caused it. 3. Which disaster was related to nuclear power? A. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone. B. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. C. Three Mile Island Accident. D. 2017 California Wildfires. B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’ workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. C From wearable devices to smartphones, it has never been easier for us to track our daily physical activity, or lack of it. But just how much should we aim for if we want to live a longer and healthier life? Two recent studies suggest that walking 7,000 steps per day is a good target. “Specifically, our research shows that the decreased risk of dying appeared to plateau out at about 7,000 steps,” says Melody Ding, a professor of public health at the University of Sydney, who is the latest researcher to dive into the evidence, as part of an effort to update the physical activity guideline in her country. “There were still some improvements for those who took more than 7,000 steps, but the added health benefits across the population became smaller and smaller.” Ding’s team reviewed data collected from more than 160,000 adults around the world on the link between step count and a variety of health outcomes. Here was one of the key findings: Taking 7,000 steps per day was associated with nearly a 50% lower risk of dying,compared with the bare minimum of 2,000 steps. “It definitely doesn’t do harm if you go beyond 7,000,” Ding adds. “So for anyone who’s already doing 10,000 and more, there is no point of going back, but for the folks who are finding it hard to get there,7,000 could be a really realistic target.” Ding’s research also shows that, on the lower end, even modest jumps can have a major impact on our well-being. For example, simply jumping from 2,000 to 4,000 times in a day was accompanied by nearly a 36% lower risk of dying. Ding and her team have also tried to pin down whether speed makes a difference. Here,the new study could not make any definitive conclusion. “We actually didn’t see an association once we considered the total number of steps,” says Ding. “So, essentially, the total number of steps or jumps, regardless of how fast they were doing, seemed to have a benefit,” she says. Amanda Paluch who has been working on step count and health benefits, has reached a similar conclusion, though her work suggests the targets may also vary with age. “We were seeing that old people did not seem to need as many steps compared to young adults,” says Paluch. 8. Which of the following best explains “plateau out” underlined in paragraph 2? A Fall down rapidly. B. Increase very slowly. C. Rise very sharply. D. Come to a sudden stop. 9. What will Melody Ding most probably advise us to do? A. Take 4,000 steps per day. B. Reduce the daily count to 10,000 steps. C. Jump 7,000 times each day. D. Do a minimum of 2,000 jumps a day. 10. What can be ignored according to text? A. Age. B. Health. C. Walking speeds. D. Step targets. 11. Which word best describes Paluch’s attitude to the other study? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear. D Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria remain significant global health threats. While man-made repellents (驱虫剂) effectively discourage these insects, their chemical components often cause harmful reactions such as skin redness and breathing issues. Natural alternatives, such as essential oils from lavender plants, have shown repellent properties but quickly lose their effect in sunlight and dry up fast, making them hard to use widely. Addressing these challenges, two material engineers from Soochow University in China drew inspiration from nature to design a long-lasting mosquito-repellent fabric. Their study, published in the Journal of Pest Science, focuses on wrapping lavender oil in tiny silk-based containers to achieve lasting protection. The team turned to silk protein which breaks down naturally and comes from silkworms. Known for its flexibility and slow-release capabilities, silk protein was combined with gum arabic — a natural polymer (聚合物) from trees — to form tiny stable capsules. By continuously stirring the mixture at warm temperatures, researchers successfully added lavender oil into these capsules. Adjusting the oil concentration allowed them to create samples with 5% to 15%lavender content. Once cooled, the capsules settled and were bonded to cotton fabric pieces for testing. To evaluate effectiveness, the team fashioned the treated fabric into gloves and conducted trials with human volunteers. Participants wore either treated or untreated gloves and then put their arms near areas with mosquitoes. Results revealed striking differences: untreated gloves attracted an average of 15 mosquitoes per five-minute session, while gloves with 15% lavender oil saw fewer than one mosquito landing. Even after 40 machine washes, the high-concentration fabric maintained strong repellency, with only 2.5 mosquitoes landing on post-treatment gloves — evidence of its durability. This breakthrough combines eco-friendly materials with advanced material engineering. Unlike traditional repellents, the silk-based capsules gradually release essential oils without frequent reapplication, offering a safer, more sustainable solution. The technology not only reduces reliance on harmful chemicals but also appeals to growing demand for biodegradable (可生物降解的) products. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By comparing the limitations of existing repellents. B. By directly stating the research team’s conclusions. C. By listing statistical data on mosquito-borne diseases. D. By quoting experts’ opinions on chemical components. 13. What experimental condition is necessary during capsule formation? A. Exposure to light for 24 hours. B. Addition of man-made polymers. C. Immediate freezing after adding oil. D. Continuous stirring at warm temperatures. 14. What is the main advantage of the new fabric compared to traditional repellents? A. It combines man- made materials with machine washes. B. It relieves mosquito-borne diseases through reapplication. C. It provides long-lasting protection without frequent reapplication. D. It activates stronger repellent effects during several washing cycles. 15. Which statement best summarizes the new fabric’s significance? A. It reduces fabric durability by using natural polymers. B. It proves silk protein is worse than man-made polymers. C. It joins environmentally safe materials with modern high-tech. D. It brings down lavender oil’s medicinal properties in repellent action. 第二节（共5题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Loud noise can be very damaging to your hearing, whether it’s a loud burst or years of exposure.
