Here are some creative approaches to sustainable agriculture. PRECISION AGRICULTURE Precision agriculture uses technology such as GPS, drones (无人机), and sensors to monitor and manage crops with high accuracy. By applying water, fertilizers, and pest (害虫)control products only where and when needed, farmers can lower costs, improve output and minimize the environmental impact of farming practices. VERTICAL (垂直的) FARMING Vertical farming involves growing crops in multiple layers, often in controlled indoor environments. This method uses less land and water than traditional farming and can be used in urban areas, reducing the need for transportation. Although energy use remains a concern, renewable energy sources can make vertical farming more sustainable. REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE Regenerative agriculture focuses on restoring soil health and improving ecosystems. Practices such as planting cover crops, less digging, and planting trees with crops help absorb carbon, hold water, and support biodiversity. These methods not only benefit the environment but also enhance long-term farm productivity. CROP DIVERSIFICATION Relying on a limited number of crops can lead to soil damage and weakness to pests and diseases. Crop diversification, which involves planting a variety of crops, improves soil health, reduces risks, and enhances biodiversity. This approach is particularly important for adapting to climate change. As the world faces the challenges of feeding a growing population as well as protecting the planet,sustainable agriculture offers a path forward. By adopting creative methods and rethinking traditional practices, humanity can ensure food security while safeguarding the environment for future generations. 21. Which of the following is suitable for urban environments? A. Precision agriculture. B. Vertical farming. C. Regenerative agriculture. D. Crop diversification. 22. What is one of the benefits of crop diversification? A. Reducing waste. B. Using less land. C. Controlling pests. D. Protecting soil health. 23. Why does the author introduce sustainable farming methods? A. To advocate environmental protection. B. To promote the use of renewable energy. C. To support people with less environmental harm. D. To illustrate the concept of food and land security. B An 82-year-old Chinese female pilot has set a record in the country’s airline industry after flying a small plane for 40 minutes in Beijing. Miao Xiaohong, one of China’s second batch of female pilots, controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at the Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District of Beijing. In 1956, Miao Xiaohong, who graduated from a high school in Jinan, won a position in the second batch. She graduated from the flight school in 1958. In the following years, she flew many important missions. In 1963, she undertook a mission to airdrop materials for the flood-stricken areas in Hebei Province. Poor visibility prevented her from locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task. In 1989, she retired and started her writing career. When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, so she had the idea to return to the sky. To prepare for the flight, she walked 3,000 steps every day and moved her arms to meet the requirements for high-altitude flight during the past two months. Different from past flights for missions, this time her goal was to enjoy the flight. She said that it was exciting and fresh. “Seeing the boundless blue sky unfold in front of me, I feel it is very open,” she said. The trainer said that Miao Xiaohong could finish 30 hours of flight to get a license for commercial flight. She said, “My physical condition is good enough to finish the 30-hour flight, but it is not so important for me to get such a license. After achieving my dream of returning to the sky, I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I’m 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me.” 24. What challenge did Miao Xiaohong face during the airdrop mission? A. Lack of enough materials. B. No access to the struck areas. C. Poor visibility caused by thick clouds. D. Shortage of good eyesight to spot the targets. 25. What made Miao Xiaohong have the idea of flying a plane at the age of 82? A. Her deep love for flight. B. The influence of other aged pilots. C. The requirements of her books. D. Her wish to break a flying record. 26. Which words can best describe Miao Xiaohong? A. Devoted and humble. B. Courageous and honest. C. Determined and inspiring. D. Optimistic and outgoing. 27. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Returning to the Blue Sky. B. Coming to Join in the Flight. C. Managing to Finish Difficult Tasks. D. Improving Yourself to Set a Record. C As humans, we can find out what other people are thinking about and understand that their ideas might be different from ours. Scientists call this “theory of mind”, which is an important part of human success. An important question is whether animals can do the same. A recent experiment suggests that bonobo apes (倭黑猩猩) may share this ability. Bonobos are very intelligent apes known for being friendly and often solving problems by working together. To study how bonobos think, researchers at Johns Hopkins University came up with a clever experiment with three male bonobos at a research center called the Ape Initiative. The goal was to see whether the apes could understand when a human didn’t know some things. In the experiment, scientist Luke Townrow sat across a table from a bonobo. Another scientist hid a small snack under one of three cups. The bonobo was always able to watch the snack being hidden and see Townrow. But half of the time, Townrow wasn’t able to see which cup the snack was hidden under. The researchers wanted to see if the bonobos acted differently when they knew that Townrow didn’t know which cup the snack was hidden under. The results showed that when Townrow didn’t see where the snack was hidden, the bonobos pointed to the cup with the hidden treat more quickly. The experiment suggests that the bonobos seemed to understand that Townrow didn’t know something that they did. However, there were only three bonobos in the study. Also, these bonobos grew up around humans and might not represent wild ones. Scientists should provide more evidence. Still, the results indicate that the bonobos have a “theory of mind”. They have the ability to think about what others are thinking and can change their behavior to communicate when someone is missing important information. 28. What do the underlined words “this ability” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. To copy others’ behavior. B. To create a language system. C. To understand others’ minds. D. To interact with other species. 29. Why are bonobos chosen for the research? A. They are the most intelligent apes. B. They are friendly and cooperative. C. They can communicate like humans. D. They can solve problems on their own. 30. Why did the bonobos point to the cup in the experiment? A. To respond as required. B. To show their high intelligence. C. To get the hidden treat. D. To help the participant find the snack. 31. What is a limitation of the experiment? A. The design was too complex. B. The sample size was too small. C. It involved three wild bonobos. D. It lasted for a very short time. D Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest. But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults. Scientists have known that close friendships are good for health. That’s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health. So they followed 171 teens starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens’ closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person’s overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friend also influenced later health. Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health. Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did. Going along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to be better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead to some kids’ risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge, Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.” 32. What is the function of the paragraph one? A. To introduce a topic. B. To make a definition. C. To reach a conclusion. D. To attract readers’ interest. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its major difficulties. C. Its process and results. D. Its scientific evidence. 34. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” mean in Paragraph4? A. Challenges. B. Mistakes. C. Influences. D. Disadvantages. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Teens should follow the crowd strictly. B. Peer pressure mainly affects adult health. C. Teen friendships may make healthier adults. D. Adults should pay attention to teen health. 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。 Apart from our desiring for a long life, we also have a strong wish to stay young and full of energy.

She told us we could make mugs for Mother’s Day to express our gratitude to our mother by painting whatever we wanted on it. Then a mug was given out to every student. When the teacher tried to give me a mug, I told her I didn’t want one. Her eyes widened, “Why not, Milo?” she asked in confusion. I said, “Because my mom doesn’t live with us anymore and she left two years ago. Dad said he doesn’t know where she is, so I won’t be able to give her a mug.” Speaking this, I thought of a day, a long time ago, when I was four. Mom came home from work and gave Dad a chocolate bar and me a doll. And Dad was confused because he and Mom had been mad at each other the day before. But he wasn’t mad anymore because she gave him chocolate, I guess. He was happy and surprised and he picked Mom up and tried to spin (使旋转) her around. When seeing the happy scene, I was laughing so hard that I fell off the couch. What sweet memories! However, she left us. From then on, Dad and I lived with each other. He raised me alone and taught me how to read and write. He spared no efforts to care for me mentally and physically. Suddenly, a gentle touch on my hair called my mind back. “You can give it to your father as a gift,” the teacher said, looking at me gently. I stood in silence. And next to me, Amelia, my friend, was already gluing pink flowers all over her mug, and I wanted to do that too. 注意： (1)续写短文的词数应为150左右； (2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Para. 1: I looked back at the teacher and took a mug out of her hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: So when Dad picked me up after school, I hid the mug at the bottom of my backpack. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宜城一中 枣阳一中 曾都一中 襄阳六中 南漳一中 老河口一中 2025—2026学年上学期期中考试高二英语试题 时间：150分钟 分值：150分 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why does the man want to leave?

W: Yes, although we’re growing in numbers. When I was 13, my dad bought my brother a mountain bike but I was given an ordinary one. I really wanted to join my brother, so in the end my uncle got one for me. M: And now you’re a winner? W: Yes I just won the Regional Championship. It was a difficult course with lots of rocks. At one point I thought I wasn’t going to win. I was ahead and then I had to slow down because a photographer jumped out from behind a tree. M: What do you think is the most important before a race? W: Well there’s much to do. Take plenty of exercise to keep fit. Check the route in advance. And the most important I think is that you must make sure everything’s working on the bike. If there’s anything wrong with the bike, I’ll be in trouble. And the clothes shouldn’t slow you down so they need to be tight. They might feel a bit uncomfortable when you first put them on, but you will soon get used to it . I’m not bothered about not looking pretty — I just want to win. 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】 17. When does the Business Studies course start? A. On June 5th. B. On June 12th. C.

I’m leaving this message in answer to your questions about the Business Studies course. Firstly, you asked when the course starts. It begins on the 12th of June, and finishes on the 11th of July. At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos. So you won’t need to bring anything for the class, as everything is provided. Don’t forget, however, that although you can bring your own notebook computer if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom. I’m afraid these can disturb the classes. You said you’ re coming by car. Well, as it’s only a short course, you can use the visitor’s car park which is just beside the main entrance. We’re only a short walk away. Just turn right after the Science Center, cross the staff car park, and you’ll see the door to the Business Studies Department in front of you. Finally, you also wanted to know if it’s possible to attend a language course while you are here. Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our Italian classes. Oh, no, actually... there’s one place on the Spanish course too. We usually offer French, Chinese, German and Japanese as well, but there aren’t enough students for those classes this summer. If you want to apply for the course, please sign up before the 5th of June. Thank you. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A As the global population is projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the challenge rests in producing enough food while minimizing environmental harm. Here are some creative approaches to sustainable agriculture. PRECISION AGRICULTURE Precision agriculture uses technology such as GPS, drones (无人机), and sensors to monitor and manage crops with high accuracy. By applying water, fertilizers, and pest (害虫)control products only where and when needed, farmers can lower costs, improve output and minimize the environmental impact of farming practices. VERTICAL (垂直的) FARMING Vertical farming involves growing crops in multiple layers, often in controlled indoor environments. This method uses less land and water than traditional farming and can be used in urban areas, reducing the need for transportation. Although energy use remains a concern, renewable energy sources can make vertical farming more sustainable. REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE Regenerative agriculture focuses on restoring soil health and improving ecosystems. Practices such as planting cover crops, less digging, and planting trees with crops help absorb carbon, hold water, and support biodiversity. These methods not only benefit the environment but also enhance long-term farm productivity. CROP DIVERSIFICATION Relying on a limited number of crops can lead to soil damage and weakness to pests and diseases. Crop diversification, which involves planting a variety of crops, improves soil health, reduces risks, and enhances biodiversity. This approach is particularly important for adapting to climate change. As the world faces the challenges of feeding a growing population as well as protecting the planet,sustainable agriculture offers a path forward. By adopting creative methods and rethinking traditional practices, humanity can ensure food security while safeguarding the environment for future generations. 21. Which of the following is suitable for urban environments? A. Precision agriculture. B. Vertical farming. C. Regenerative agriculture. D. Crop diversification. 22. What is one of the benefits of crop diversification? A. Reducing waste. B. Using less land. C. Controlling pests. D. Protecting soil health. 23. Why does the author introduce sustainable farming methods? A. To advocate environmental protection. B. To promote the use of renewable energy. C To support people with less environmental harm. D. To illustrate the concept of food and land security. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了面对2050年全球近100亿人口的粮食需求挑战，精准农业、垂直农业等四种可持续农业创新方法及其优势。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据VERTICAL FARMING部分中的“Vertical farming involves growing crops in multiple layers, often in controlled indoor environments. This method uses less land and water than traditional farming and can be used in urban areas, reducing the need for transportation.(垂直农业是指在多层结构中种植作物，通常在受控的室内环境中进行。这种方法比传统农业使用更少的土地和水，且可用于城市地区，减少了运输需求。)”可知，垂直农业适用于城市环境，因其占地少、可室内种植且无需长途运输。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据CROP DIVERSIFICATION部分中的“Crop diversification, which involves planting a variety of crops, improves soil health, reduces risks, and enhances biodiversity.(作物多样化是指种植多种作物，它能改善土壤健康、降低风险并增强生物多样性。)”可知，作物多样化的好处之一是保护土壤健康。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As the global population is projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the challenge rests in producing enough food while minimizing environmental harm. Here are some creative approaches to sustainable agriculture.(预计到2050年全球人口将接近100亿，当前的挑战是在最大限度减少环境破坏的同时生产足够的粮食。以下是一些可持续农业的创新方法。)”以及最后一段中的“As the world faces the challenges of feeding a growing population as well as protecting the planet, sustainable agriculture offers a path forward.(当世界面临养活不断增长的人口和保护地球的双重挑战时，可持续农业提供了一条前进的道路。)”可知，作者介绍可持续农业方法的目的是在满足粮食需求的同时减少环境伤害，助力人类应对双重挑战。故选C项。 B An 82-year-old Chinese female pilot has set a record in the country’s airline industry after flying a small plane for 40 minutes in Beijing. Miao Xiaohong, one of China’s second batch of female pilots, controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at the Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District of Beijing. In 1956, Miao Xiaohong, who graduated from a high school in Jinan, won a position in the second batch. She graduated from the flight school in 1958. In the following years, she flew many important missions. In 1963, she undertook a mission to airdrop materials for the flood-stricken areas in Hebei Province. Poor visibility prevented her from locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task. In 1989, she retired and started her writing career. When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, so she had the idea to return to the sky. To prepare for the flight, she walked 3,000 steps every day and moved her arms to meet the requirements for high-altitude flight during the past two months. Different from past flights for missions, this time her goal was to enjoy the flight. She said that it was exciting and fresh. “Seeing the boundless blue sky unfold in front of me, I feel it is very open,” she said. The trainer said that Miao Xiaohong could finish 30 hours of flight to get a license for commercial flight. She said, “My physical condition is good enough to finish the 30-hour flight, but it is not so important for me to get such a license. After achieving my dream of returning to the sky, I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I’m 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me.” 24. What challenge did Miao Xiaohong face during the airdrop mission? A. Lack of enough materials. B. No access to the struck areas. C. Poor visibility caused by thick clouds. D. Shortage of good eyesight to spot the targets. 25. What made Miao Xiaohong have the idea of flying a plane at the age of 82? A. Her deep love for flight. B. The influence of other aged pilots. C. The requirements of her books. D. Her wish to break a flying record. 26. Which words can best describe Miao Xiaohong? A Devoted and humble. B. Courageous and honest. C. Determined and inspiring. D. Optimistic and outgoing. 27. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Returning to the Blue Sky. B. Coming to Join in the Flight. C. Managing to Finish Difficult Tasks. D. Improving Yourself to Set a Record. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了82岁中国女飞行员苗晓红重返蓝天，创造航空业纪录，以及她过往执行任务、退休后重拾飞行梦想的人生故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Poor visibility prevented her locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task. (由于云层距地面约100米，能见度差使她无法定位目标区域，但她仍成功完成了任务)”可知，苗晓红在空投任务中面临的核心挑战是厚厚的云层导致能见度不足。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, so she had the idea to return to the sky. (在为自己的书籍收集资料时，她发现其他国家许多年长的飞行员仍在飞行，因此萌生了重返蓝天的想法)”可知，其他国家老年飞行员的持续飞行经历，是苗晓红82岁决定再次飞行的直接诱因。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“An 82-year-old Chinese female pilot has set a record in the country’s airline industry after flying a small plane for 40 minutes in Beijing. (一名82岁的中国女飞行员在北京驾驶一架小型飞机飞行了40分钟，创下了中国航空业的纪录)”、最后一段“I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I’m 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me. (我希望鼓励年轻女性加入航空业。我82岁了，又能飞了。你们这些年轻人会飞，而且会飞得比我好)”以及通读全文可推知，苗晓红82岁仍坚持挑战自我，体现了坚定的品质；她用自身经历去激励他人，体现了鼓舞人心的特质。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇即点明核心事件——82岁女飞行员苗晓红重返蓝天，后文围绕这一事件展开，补充其过往飞行经历、重返蓝天的契机及意义。根据最后一段“achieving my dream of returning to the sky (实现重返天空的梦想)”可知，“Returning to the Blue Sky (重返蓝天)”既概括了核心事件，又承载了其对飞行的执着，是全文主旨的最佳提炼，最适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C As humans, we can find out what other people are thinking about and understand that their ideas might be different from ours. Scientists call this “theory of mind”, which is an important part of human success. An important question is whether animals can do the same. A recent experiment suggests that bonobo apes (倭黑猩猩) may share this ability. Bonobos are very intelligent apes, known for being friendly and often solving problems by working together. To study how bonobos think, researchers at Johns Hopkins University came up with a clever experiment with three male bonobos at a research center called the Ape Initiative. The goal was to see whether the apes could understand when a human didn’t know some things. In the experiment, scientist Luke Townrow sat across a table from a bonobo. Another scientist hid a small snack under one of three cups. The bonobo was always able to watch the snack being hidden and see Townrow. But half of the time, Townrow wasn’t able to see which cup the snack was hidden under. The researchers wanted to see if the bonobos acted differently when they knew that Townrow didn’t know which cup the snack was hidden under. The results showed that when Townrow didn’t see where the snack was hidden, the bonobos pointed to the cup with the hidden treat more quickly. The experiment suggests that the bonobos seemed to understand that Townrow didn’t know something that they did. However, there were only three bonobos in the study. Also, these bonobos grew up around humans and might not represent wild ones. Scientists should provide more evidence. Still, the results indicate that the bonobos have a “theory of mind”. They have the ability to think about what others are thinking and can change their behavior to communicate when someone is missing important information. 28. What do the underlined words “this ability” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. To copy others’ behavior. B. To create a language system. C. To understand others’ minds. D. To interact with other species. 29. Why are bonobos chosen for the research? A. They are the most intelligent apes. B. They are friendly and cooperative. C. They can communicate like humans. D. They can solve problems on their own. 30. Why did the bonobos point to the cup in the experiment? A. To respond as required. B. To show their high intelligence. C. To get the hidden treat. D. To help the participant find the snack. 31. What is a limitation of the experiment? A. The design was too complex. B. The sample size was too small. C. It involved three wild bonobos. D. It lasted for a very short time. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了“心理理论”这一人类重要能力，并通过约翰·霍普金斯大学对三只倭黑猩猩的实验，探讨倭黑猩猩是否也具备该能力，同时指出实验局限性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“As humans, we can find out what other people are thinking about and understand that their ideas might be different from ours. Scientists call this “theory of mind”, which is an important part of human success. An important question is whether animals can do the same. A recent experiment suggests that bonobo apes (倭黑猩猩) may share this ability.(作为人类，我们能够知道别人在想什么，并且明白他们的想法可能与我们的不同。科学家称这种能力为“心理理论”，它是人类成功的重要组成部分。一个重要的问题是动物是否也能做到这一点。最近的一项实验表明，倭黑猩猩可能也拥有这种能力。)”可知，“this ability”指代前文人类具备的了解他人想法的能力，即理解他人的心思。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Bonobos are very intelligent apes, known for being friendly and often solving problems by working together. To study how bonobos think, researchers at Johns Hopkins University came up with a clever experiment with three male bonobos at a research center called the Ape Initiative.(倭黑猩猩是非常聪明的类人猿，以友好著称，并且经常通过合作解决问题。为了研究倭黑猩猩的思维方式，约翰·霍普金斯大学的研究人员在一个名为“类人猿倡议”的研究中心，对三只雄性倭黑猩猩进行了一项巧妙的实验。)”可知，选择倭黑猩猩进行研究是因为它们友好且善于合作。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The goal was to see whether the apes could understand when a human didn’t know some things.(实验的目的是观察这些类人猿是否能理解人类在某些事情上不知情的情况。)”以及第四段“The results showed that when Townrow didn’t see where the snack was hidden, the bonobos pointed to the cup with the hidden treat more quickly. The experiment suggests that the bonobos seemed to understand that Townrow didn’t know something that they did.(结果显示，当汤罗没有看到零食藏在哪个杯子下面时，倭黑猩猩会更快地指向藏有零食的杯子。实验表明，倭黑猩猩似乎明白汤罗不知道它们所知道的事情。)”可知，倭黑猩猩指向杯子是因为它们理解汤罗不知道零食的位置，想要帮助汤罗找到零食。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“However, there were only three bonobos in the study. Also, these bonobos grew up around humans and might not represent wild ones. Scientists should provide more evidence.(然而，这项研究中只有三只倭黑猩猩。此外，这些倭黑猩猩在人类身边长大，可能不能代表野生倭黑猩猩。科学家们应该提供更多的证据。)”可知，实验的局限性之一是样本量太小。故选B。 D Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest. But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults. Scientists have known that close friendships are good for health. That’s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health. So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens’ closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person’s overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friend also influenced later health. Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health. Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did. Going along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to be better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead to some kids’ risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge, Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.” 32. What is the function of the paragraph one? A. To introduce a topic. B. To make a definition. C. To reach a conclusion. D. To attract readers’ interest. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its major difficulties. C. Its process and results. D. Its scientific evidence. 34. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” mean in Paragraph4? A. Challenges. B. Mistakes. C. Influences. D. Disadvantages. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Teens should follow the crowd strictly. B. Peer pressure mainly affects adult health. C. Teen friendships may make healthier adults. D. Adults should pay attention to teen health. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一个朋友关系对健康的影响的调查研究，研究表明，朋友较少、没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康些。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest. But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.(从众未必总能符合个人最佳利益，但新研究表明，顺应朋友的青少年最终可能成为更健康的成年人。)”可知，该段通过“从众的普遍认知”与“新研究结论”的对比，引出“青少年友谊与成年健康”这一核心话题，为后文展开研究介绍做铺垫。第一段主要的作用是引出主题。故选A项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。第三段首句“So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens’ closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27.(于是他们对 171 名青少年展开了追踪研究，研究始于这些孩子 13 岁时。研究团队连续五年每年对每位参与者进行一次采访，同时还与这些青少年最亲密的朋友进行了交谈 —— 朋友们为了解他们的友谊质量提供了额外信息。这 171 名研究对象在 25 岁、26 岁和 27 岁时再次接受了采访。)”详细描述了研究的对象、时间跨度和数据收集方式；以及“When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friend also influenced later health. Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults.(当研究人员分析数据时，发现青少年的行为与成年后的健康状况之间存在密切关联：拥有亲密朋友的青少年，长大后会成为更健康的成年人。青少年是压抑自己的情绪，还是向亲密朋友倾诉，这也会影响他们日后的健康 —— 那些选择压抑情绪的人，成年后患病的概率更高。)”则呈现了研究的核心发现（结果）。因此，该段主要讲述了研究的过程与结果。故选C项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文内容“Teens who are more independent tend to be better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead to some kids’ risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. (更独立的青少年往往在学校和工作中表现更好。同龄人的压力可能会导致一些孩子的危险行为，如吸烟、饮酒或吸毒。)”结合上文“Going along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen,(艾伦说，随大流可能有好处。)”可知，随大流可能有好处，但也有缺点，比如吸烟、饮酒或吸毒，所以猜测drawbacks为“缺点”。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章文章第一段的“ But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.(但新的研究表明，和朋友在一起的青少年成年后可能会更健康)”以及下文可知，本文主要介绍了青少年时期的朋友关系对健康的影响，研究表明，与朋友较少、没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康些，青少年之间的友谊可能会造就更健康的成年人。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Apart from our desiring for a long life, we also have a strong wish to stay young and full of energy.

She told us we could make mugs for Mother’s Day to express our gratitude to our mother by painting whatever we wanted on it. Then a mug was given out to every student. When the teacher tried to give me a mug, I told her I didn’t want one. Her eyes widened, “Why not, Milo?” she asked in confusion. I said, “Because my mom doesn’t live with us anymore and she left two years ago. Dad said he doesn’t know where she is, so I won’t be able to give her a mug.” Speaking this, I thought of a day, a long time ago, when I was four. Mom came home from work and gave Dad a chocolate bar and me a doll. And Dad was confused because he and Mom had been mad at each other the day before. But he wasn’t mad anymore because she gave him chocolate, I guess. He was happy and surprised and he picked Mom up and tried to spin (使旋转) her around. When seeing the happy scene, I was laughing so hard that I fell off the couch. What sweet memories! However, she left us. From then on, Dad and I lived with each other. He raised me alone and taught me how to read and write. He spared no efforts to care for me mentally and physically. Suddenly, a gentle touch on my hair called my mind back. “You can give it to your father as a gift,” the teacher said, looking at me gently. I stood in silence. And next to me, Amelia, my friend, was already gluing pink flowers all over her mug, and I wanted to do that too. 注意： (1)续写短文的词数应为150左右； (2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Para. 1: I looked back at the teacher and took a mug out of her hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: So when Dad picked me up after school, I hid the mug at the bottom of my backpack. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Para. 1: I looked back at the teacher and took a mug out of her hand. I said, “OK, Thank you”. Back to my seat, I began to decorate it with concentration. On it I painted a picture of my father teaching me to read. Also, I decorated my mug with many pink flowers. Staring at my masterpiece, I wondered how happy my father would be when seeing the mug. However, it struck me how much he loved surprises. So I decided not to give him the gift immediately when I saw him. I would give him a big surprise. Para. 2: So when Dad picked me up after school, I hid the mug at the bottom of my backpack. Not until we returned home did I put it on the table in the kitchen. When he went to the kitchen to make a meal for us, he spotted the mug, his eyes wide open, “What’s the thing, Milo?” I stepped out and explained softly, “It’s a Mother’s Day mug. It’s for you.” I could clearly see the amazement on his face. Dad embraced me tightly, words failing him. Through the window, the setting sun cast a golden glow on us, warm and deep. 【解析】 【导语】本文以母亲节为线索展开，讲述了在母亲节这天，老师让学生们制作马克杯送给母亲表达感恩。作者Milo因母亲两年前离家出走而拒绝参与活动，回忆了曾经一家三口的温馨时光，并提到父亲独自抚养他的艰辛。老师建议他将马克杯送给父亲，Milo最终决定制作杯子，并在放学后偷偷将这份惊喜礼物藏在书包里准备送给父亲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我回头看着老师，从她手中接过一个马克杯。”可知，第一段可描写Milo接过马克杯后，开始认真设计图案，从犹豫到坚定，意识到父亲同样值得感恩，决定用杯子表达对父爱的回报。 ②由第二段首句内容“所以当爸爸放学后来接我时，我把马克杯藏在了书包最底下。”可知，第二段可描写Milo在回家路上表现异常，到家后Milo突然拿出马克杯，父亲的反应。 2.续写线索：设计——决定——隐藏表现——突然拿出——父亲惊喜——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.装饰：decorate/ornament ②.盯着：stare/gaze ③.放置：put/place/lay 情绪类 ①.惊喜：surprise/wonderment ②.高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Firstly, you asked when the course starts. IT begins on the twelve of june and finishes on the eleven of july. At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos, so you won't need to bring anything for the class as everything is provided. Don't forget, however, that although you can bring your own notebook computer if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom, I am afraid these can distort the classes. You said you are coming by car. Well, as its only a short course, you can use the visitors car park, which is just beside the main entrance, we are only a short walk away. Just turn right after the science center, cross the staff car park and you'll see the door to the business studies department in front of you. Finally, you also wanted to know if it's possible to attend the language course while you are here. Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our italian classes. Oh, no.
