Over 90% of ancient Egypt was desert, a land isolated by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and deserts to the east and west. These natural barriers limited large-scale migration and invasion, allowing a magnificent agricultural civilization to flourish early. In this arid(干旱的)environment, the Nile served as a lifeline. Its annual flood carried nutrient-rich soil downstream, serving as a natural fertilizer. When the flood receded, farmers sowed seeds directly into the moist, fertile land. The floodwater also washed away excess salt from the soil, preventing salinization. Additionally, the Nile provided abundant fish and birds and facilitated transport. Winds blew opposite to the river’s flow, allowing boats to sail south or drift north with the current. The Nile connected villages and towns, promoted the flow of goods, and supported the construction of pyramids and temples. It stabilized society and unified the nation. Moreover, the need to remeasure flooded fields gave rise to mathematics and geometry. Papyrus reeds provided material for writing and boats, fostering culture and early seafaring. Large-scale irrigation and construction projects advanced administration and law, and mummification spurred the development of medicine. 1. What was the main function of the Nile’s annual flood in ancient Egyptian agriculture? A. It provided a direct source of drinking water for the population. B. It brought nutrient-rich soil and naturally fertilized the land. C. It protected Egypt from foreign invasions. D. It supplied materials for making papyrus. 2. According to the text, which of the following was a geographical advantage for ancient Egypt? A. Natural barriers helped prevent large-scale migrations and invasions. B. The location near multiple seas allowed for extensive trade. C. The flat terrain made it easy to build pyramids and temples. D. Frequent rainfall reduced dependence on the Nile. 3. What does the text suggest about the relationship between the Nile and Egyptian civilization? A. The Nile was mainly used for religious ceremonies. B. The Nile divided different social classes in ancient Egypt. C. The Nile’s resources were only important for agriculture. D. Egyptian civilization could not have developed without the Nile. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了尼罗河对古埃及文明的滋养作用，包括提供生存条件、促进社会发展及推动多领域进步。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Its annual flood carried nutrient-rich soil downstream, serving as a natural fertilizer.(它每年的泛滥会将富含养分的土壤带到下游，充当天然肥料。)”可知，尼罗河每年的泛滥会将富含养分的土壤带到下游，充当天然肥料，这是其在古埃及农业中的主要作用。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“These natural barriers limited large-scale migration and invasion, allowing a magnificent agricultural civilization to flourish early.(这些天然屏障限制了大规模的迁徙与入侵，使得辉煌的农业文明得以早期繁荣。)”可知，古埃及的天然屏障(北临地中海、东西两侧为沙漠)限制了大规模迁徙与入侵，这是其地理优势。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Beneath the veil of mystery—pyramids, temples, mummies—lie the great achievements of a civilization nourished by the Nile.(在神秘面纱之下——金字塔、神庙、木乃伊——蕴藏着一个由尼罗河滋养的文明所取得的伟大成就。)”、第二段“In this arid (干旱的) environment, the Nile served as a lifeline.(在这片干旱的环境中，尼罗河是生命之源。)”以及第三段尼罗河对社会、经济、科技、文化等多领域的推动作用可知，尼罗河是古埃及文明发展的基础，没有尼罗河，古埃及文明就无法形成和繁荣。故选D。 B (Zhang Keyu, Hubei)Everyone knows the people who have helped to change the face of the world in recent years. From Bill Gates to Steve Jobs to Jack Ma, few would not recognize their names. However, those who work tirelessly behind the scenes often go unnoticed, in spite of their great achievements. If you know anyone who deserves to have their contributions recognized, we would love to hear from you! Let us know how these people have helped to make a difference in your eyes. The person I respect most is the geophysicist Huang Danian, who helped China to make many technological advances. Huang was a remarkable scientist. He had studied and worked in Britain for 18 years, but when he felt that his country needed him, he gave up his well-paid job and returned to China. Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration. Unfortunately, such achievements didn’t come cheap. Due to the frantic(疯狂的)pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor. To sum up, Huang sacrificed everything for his research, and I think more people should honour him. (Chen Xueyin, Fujian)I want to tell everyone about two teachers on Changyu Island, Wang Kaiquan and Lin Zhujin. Few people know about this hometown of mine. The island is beautiful, but it’s quite isolated, and there aren’t many modern conveniences. In bad weather, even our water and power supplies are unstable. People who have never been to our island are often surprised by this and find it hard to adjust. Many who live on the island dream of leaving. These two primary school teachers, however, have stayed on for 23 long years! They are the only teachers here, and they plan to stay for as long as there are children who need to attend school. I want to thank them, and let the world know about these teachers who work tirelessly every day for the sake of the children. 4. What contribution did Huang make to China? A. Helped improve deep-Earth exploration technology B. Built stable water and power supplies on an island C. Trained primary school teachers for 23 years D. Founded a well-paid tech company overseas 5. Why did Huang skip his father’s funeral? A. He was occupied with deep-Earth device R&D. B. He was receiving cancer treatment. C. He couldn’t travel back from Britain. D. He had to teach local children. 6. What do the underlined words “didn’t come cheap” mean in paragraph 4? A. Required no hard work B. Cost much(effort or loss) C. Were not costly in money D. took little time to achieve 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Well-known global business leaders B. Achievements in China’s technology and education C. Challenges of living on a remote island D. Unrecognized people with great devotion 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位作者分别介绍自己敬佩的人——地球物理学家黄大年和长屿岛两位坚守23年的小学老师，彰显他们的奉献精神并呼吁认可其贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Huang was a remarkable scientist. He had studied and worked in Britain for 18 years, but when he felt that his country needed him, he gave up his well-paid job and returned to China. Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration.(黄大年是一位杰出的科学家。他在英国学习和工作了18年，但当他意识到祖国需要他时，便放弃了高薪工作，毅然回国。在之后的七年里，黄大年致力于研发深部地球探测所需的多种设备。)”可知，黄大年致力于研发深部地球探测所需的多种设备，助力中国提升了深部地球探测技术。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration.(在之后的七年里，黄大年致力于研发深部地球探测所需的多种设备。)”以及第四段“Due to the frantic(疯狂的)pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor.(由于科研工作节奏紧张，黄大年未能参加父亲的葬礼，甚至因无暇就医而未能及时发现自己身患癌症。)”可知，黄大年因忙于深部地球探测设备的研发工作，未能参加父亲的葬礼。故选A。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在语境“Unfortunately, such achievements didn’t come cheap. Due to the frantic(疯狂的)pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor.(遗憾的是，这样的成就……。由于科研工作节奏紧张，黄大年未能参加父亲的葬礼，甚至因无暇就医而未能及时发现自己身患癌症。)”可知，黄大年的成就伴随着巨大的付出——错过父亲葬礼、延误癌症诊治，这些都体现了成就的取得耗费了大量精力和牺牲。“didn’t come cheap”字面意为“并非廉价得来”，结合语境指“需要付出巨大努力或代价”。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If you know anyone who deserves to have their contributions recognized, we would love to hear from you! Let us know how these people have helped to make a difference in your eyes.(如果你认识任何值得被认可其贡献的人，欢迎与我们分享！请告诉我们，在你眼中这些人是如何带来积极影响的。)”以及下文分别介绍地球物理学家黄大年（为科研牺牲个人利益）和长屿岛两位坚守23年的小学老师（扎根偏远地区教书育人）的事迹可知，文章核心是讲述那些默默奉献却未被广泛关注的人及其奉献精神。故选D。 C Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment. However, scientists will need to terraform Mars for people to be able to live. Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe. Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together. One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030.The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of US $6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about US $100 billion, although this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe. 8. Why choose Mars first? A. It has no extreme cold. B. It’s fit for quick terraforming. C. It helps study human adaptability. D. It’s closer than other planets. 9. What worries scientists most? A. Greenhouse gas shortage. B. Human physical/mental health. C. Lack of funding for factories. D. Volcanoes on Mars’ surface. 10. What is the connection between Hawaii test and Mars life? A. Both need sun energy use. B. Both require team cooperation. C. Both have 1,200-square-foot space. D. Both last exactly one year. 11. How is the 2030 Mars plan viewed? A. Cost estimate is too low. B. It can finish terraforming first. C. NASA will fund it fully. D. It ignores health risks. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类移居火星的可行性、所需的地球化改造、面临的身心健康挑战及相关项目计划与成本争议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.(火箭科学家Robert Zubrin对此表示赞同，并认为从火星开始最具意义。他认为，将人类送上火星能让我们学到很多东西 —— 例如，关于人类在截然不同的环境中生存的能力。)”可知，选择火星作为首个移居目标的原因是它能帮助人类研究在截然不同环境中的生存适应能力。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body.(科学家们另一个重大担忧是，人类移居火星后能否保持身心健康。)”可知，科学家们最担忧的是人类移居火星后能否保持身心健康。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.(另一个重要发现是，同住的人必须能够和睦相处、通力合作。)”可知，夏威夷类火星环境测试的重要发现之一是同住者需和睦相处、通力合作，这与火星上人类居住所需的团队协作能力直接相关。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, many experts think the project’s cost of US $6 billion is too low for it to be successful.(然而，许多专家认为，该项目60亿美元的成本过低，难以成功。)”可知，对于2030年送人类上火星的计划，许多专家认为其60亿美元的成本估算过低，难以成功。故选A。 D During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), China plans to make its currency (货币), the yuan, more used around the world. It will do this carefully and step by step. This is important because the current global money system, which relies heavily on the US dollar, is becoming less stable. To achieve this, China will focus on several key areas: ·Making it easier for foreign investors to put money into China’s markets. ·Slowly allowing money to move more freely in and out of the country, but with close watch. ·Letting the value of the yuan change more flexibly against other currencies. The People’s Bank of China says that using the yuan across borders is a natural process driven by market needs. It will work to make the environment better for everyone to use the yuan. Specific steps include: ·Simplifying investment channels to attract more foreign money. ·Improving systems for using yuan in international trade and investment. ·Encouraging foreign companies and banks to issue “panda bonds” (bonds in yuan) in China. Experts agree that this steady approach is key. Guan Tao, an economist, said China needs to gradually open its capital account to help the yuan flow more easily across borders. Marshall Mills from the IMF (国际货币基金组织) noted that as China’s economy grows, the use of the yuan will naturally increase. Professor Wu Xiaoqiu said that for China to be a strong financial power, its currency must be influential globally. He suggested selling more government bonds to give global investors safe places to put their yuan. Another expert, Tian Xuan, added that China should also improve its financial markets and allow foreigners more access to trade financial products like futures. In short, China is committed to a safe and steady path to make the yuan a more important global currency. 12. Which of the following is NOT a method China will use to promote the yuan? A. Making it easier for foreigners to invest in China. B. Allowing money to move freely without any control. C. Improving systems for using yuan in international trade. D. Letting the yuan’s value change more flexibly. 13. What did Professor Wu Xiaoqiu suggest to attract global investors? A. Print more yuan. B. Sell more government bonds. C. Lower the value of the yuan. D. Stop using the US dollar. 14. Why is China promoting the yuan in a careful and gradual way? A. Because the US dollar is becoming stronger. B. Because China wants to keep the yuan only for itself. C. Because the global monetary system is becoming less stable. D. Because other countries do not want to use the yuan. 15. What is China’s main goal for the yuan during the 15th Five-Year Plan? A. To make the yuan more widely used around the world. B. To replace the US dollar immediately. C. To stop using the yuan in international trade. D. To keep the yuan only for use inside China. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是在“十五五”规划（2026-2030年）期间，中国计划采取谨慎且循序渐进的方式推动人民币在全球更广泛地使用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Slowly allowing money to move more freely in and out of the country, but with close watch.(慢慢允许资金更自由地进出该国，但要密切关注)”可知，B选项“Allowing money to move freely without any control.(允许资金自由流动而不受任何控制)”不是中国将用来推动人民币国际化的方法。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He suggested selling more government bonds to give global investors safe places to put their yuan.(他建议卖出更多的政府债券，让全球投资者有安全的地方存放他们的人民币)”可知，Wu Xiaoqiu建议卖出更多的政府债券。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It will do this carefully and step by step. This is important because the current global money system, which relies heavily on the US dollar, is becoming less stable.(它将谨慎地、一步一步地做到这一点。这一点很重要，因为目前严重依赖美元的全球货币体系正变得越来越不稳定)”可知，中国要谨慎、渐进地推进人民币的使用是因为全球货币体系正变得越来越不稳定。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), China plans to make its currency (货币), the yuan, more used around the world.(在第15个五年计划（2026-2030年）期间，中国计划让人民币在全球范围内得到更多的使用。)”可知，中国在“十五五”期间的主要目标是让人民币在世界范围内得到更广泛的使用。故选A。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Here’s a puzzle: What do traffic jams, long lines at the store and waiting for a holiday to start have in common?

As an animal lover, I really wanted to go, but none of my colleagues could join me. The thought of walking there alone as night fell made me hesitate. After some internal struggle, I decided to brave the short walk. The streets were quiet and empty. When I arrived at the address, I froze. Outside stood a group of tough-looking bikers in leather jackets, gathered around their motorcycles. Although I know appearances can be deceiving, as a woman alone in an unfamiliar neighborhood, I felt my heart race. A poster confirmed this was the right place and time. Part of me wanted to retreat to the hotel, but my concern for the animals pushed me forward. I hurried inside, hoping the bikers would be gone by the time the event ended. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stepped into the hall, surprised to find it filled with more bikers. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the event organizer stepped forward and made an announcement. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I stepped into the hall, surprised to find it filled with more bikers. They were everywhere, talking in groups, their voices echoing through the large space. My initial fear returned, but I noticed something else. In their arms or on their laps were the cats. The tough-looking bikers were gently petting the cats, their rough hands moving softly over the furry creatures. Some were even cooing at them. I was taken aback by this unexpected sight. It was as if these intimidating men had transformed into gentle caregivers. I began to relax a bit, realizing that perhaps my first impression had been wrong. Just then, the event organizer stepped forward and made an announcement. “I’d like to thank all of these gentlemen for their support. These bikers have been our most dedicated volunteers. They’ve helped rescue countless cats from the streets, providing them with food, shelter, and love.” I listened in amazement. The bikers who had seemed so threatening were actually animal heroes. They continued to interact with the cats, making sure each one got attention. I felt ashamed of my initial judgment. As the event went on, I joined them, and we all worked together to find good homes for those adorable cats. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者独自参加猫咪领养活动时，起初因摩托车手的外表感到恐惧，后发现他们是关爱动物的志愿者，从而改变固有偏见的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“踏入大厅后，我惊讶地发现里面还有更多摩托车手。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现这些摩托车手都是爱猫人士。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，活动组织者走上前宣布。”可知，第二段可描写组织者称赞了摩托车手的善举，而作者也明白了待人接物不该有偏见。 2.续写线索：作者惊讶地发现大厅里面有更多的摩托车手——他们三五成群地交谈着——作者心生恐惧——但是，作者突然发现了他们怀里腿上都是猫咪——这些看似吓人的男人突然变成了温柔的爱猫人士——而此时，组织者走上前感谢这些摩托车手的鼎力相助——正是他们救助了很多猫咪，提供了食物和住所——而作者也明白了不应该带有固有的偏见看待人们 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/ spot ②提供：provide/ offer ③继续：continue/ go on 情绪类 ①使吃惊：take aback/surprise ②惊愕：amazement/ astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】I began to relax a bit, realizing that perhaps my first impression had been wrong.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】The bikers who had seemed so threatening were actually animal heroes.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 乌兰察布市2025年度基础教育阶段学生学科素养提升检测试题 高二年级英语 注意事项： 1.本试卷共10页，67小题，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答卷前，考生务必将姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡相应位置上。 3.答题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 4.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 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，从题目所给的A、B、C三个选项中选最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你有10秒钟的时间来回答相关小题和阅读下一个小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Over 90% of ancient Egypt was desert, a land isolated by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and deserts to the east and west. These natural barriers limited large-scale migration and invasion, allowing a magnificent agricultural civilization to flourish early. In this arid(干旱的)environment, the Nile served as a lifeline. Its annual flood carried nutrient-rich soil downstream, serving as a natural fertilizer. When the flood receded, farmers sowed seeds directly into the moist, fertile land. The floodwater also washed away excess salt from the soil, preventing salinization. Additionally, the Nile provided abundant fish and birds and facilitated transport. Winds blew opposite to the river’s flow, allowing boats to sail south or drift north with the current. The Nile connected villages and towns, promoted the flow of goods, and supported the construction of pyramids and temples. It stabilized society and unified the nation. Moreover, the need to remeasure flooded fields gave rise to mathematics and geometry. Papyrus reeds provided material for writing and boats, fostering culture and early seafaring. Large-scale irrigation and construction projects advanced administration and law, and mummification spurred the development of medicine. 1. What was the main function of the Nile’s annual flood in ancient Egyptian agriculture? A. It provided a direct source of drinking water for the population. B. It brought nutrient-rich soil and naturally fertilized the land. C. It protected Egypt from foreign invasions. D. It supplied materials for making papyrus. 2. According to the text, which of the following was a geographical advantage for ancient Egypt? A. Natural barriers helped prevent large-scale migrations and invasions. B. The location near multiple seas allowed for extensive trade. C. The flat terrain made it easy to build pyramids and temples. D. Frequent rainfall reduced dependence on the Nile. 3. What does the text suggest about the relationship between the Nile and Egyptian civilization? A. The Nile was mainly used for religious ceremonies. B. The Nile divided different social classes in ancient Egypt. C. The Nile’s resources were only important for agriculture. D. Egyptian civilization could not have developed without the Nile. B (Zhang Keyu, Hubei)Everyone knows the people who have helped to change the face of the world in recent years. From Bill Gates to Steve Jobs to Jack Ma, few would not recognize their names. However, those who work tirelessly behind the scenes often go unnoticed, in spite of their great achievements. If you know anyone who deserves to have their contributions recognized, we would love to hear from you! Let us know how these people have helped to make a difference in your eyes. The person I respect most is the geophysicist Huang Danian, who helped China to make many technological advances. Huang was a remarkable scientist. He had studied and worked in Britain for 18 years, but when he felt that his country needed him, he gave up his well-paid job and returned to China. Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration. Unfortunately, such achievements didn’t come cheap. Due to the frantic(疯狂的)pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor. To sum up, Huang sacrificed everything for his research, and I think more people should honour him. (Chen Xueyin, Fujian)I want to tell everyone about two teachers on Changyu Island, Wang Kaiquan and Lin Zhujin. Few people know about this hometown of mine. The island is beautiful, but it’s quite isolated, and there aren’t many modern conveniences. In bad weather, even our water and power supplies are unstable. People who have never been to our island are often surprised by this and find it hard to adjust. Many who live on the island dream of leaving. These two primary school teachers, however, have stayed on for 23 long years! They are the only teachers here, and they plan to stay for as long as there are children who need to attend school. I want to thank them, and let the world know about these teachers who work tirelessly every day for the sake of the children. 4. What contribution did Huang make to China? A. Helped improve deep-Earth exploration technology B. Built stable water and power supplies on an island C. Trained primary school teachers for 23 years D. Founded a well-paid tech company overseas 5. Why did Huang skip his father’s funeral? A. He was occupied with deep-Earth device R&D. B. He was receiving cancer treatment. C. He couldn’t travel back from Britain. D. He had to teach local children. 6. What do the underlined words “didn’t come cheap” mean in paragraph 4? A. Required no hard work B. Cost much(effort or loss) C. Were not costly in money D. took little time to achieve 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Well-known global business leaders B. Achievements in China’s technology and education C. Challenges of living on a remote island D. Unrecognized people with great devotion C Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment. However, scientists will need to terraform Mars for people to be able to live. Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe. Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together. One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030.The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of US $6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about US $100 billion, although this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe. 8. Why choose Mars first? A. It has no extreme cold. B. It’s fit for quick terraforming. C. It helps study human adaptability. D. It’s closer than other planets. 9. What worries scientists most? A. Greenhouse gas shortage. B. Human physical/mental health. C. Lack of funding for factories. D. Volcanoes on Mars’ surface. 10. What is the connection between Hawaii test and Mars life? A. Both need sun energy use. B. Both require team cooperation. C. Both have 1,200-square-foot space. D. Both last exactly one year. 11. How is the 2030 Mars plan viewed? A. Cost estimate is too low. B. It can finish terraforming first. C. NASA will fund it fully. D. It ignores health risks. D During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), China plans to make its currency (货币), the yuan, more used around the world. It will do this carefully and step by step. This is important because the current global money system, which relies heavily on the US dollar, is becoming less stable. To achieve this, China will focus on several key areas: ·Making it easier for foreign investors to put money into China’s markets. ·Slowly allowing money to move more freely in and out of the country, but with close watch. ·Letting the value of the yuan change more flexibly against other currencies. The People’s Bank of China says that using the yuan across borders is a natural process driven by market needs. It will work to make the environment better for everyone to use the yuan. Specific steps include: ·Simplifying investment channels to attract more foreign money. ·Improving systems for using yuan in international trade and investment. ·Encouraging foreign companies and banks to issue “panda bonds” (bonds in yuan) in China. Experts agree that this steady approach is key. Guan Tao, an economist, said China needs to gradually open its capital account to help the yuan flow more easily across borders. Marshall Mills from the IMF (国际货币基金组织) noted that as China’s economy grows, the use of the yuan will naturally increase.

As an animal lover, I really wanted to go, but none of my colleagues could join me. The thought of walking there alone as night fell made me hesitate. After some internal struggle, I decided to brave the short walk. The streets were quiet and empty. When I arrived at the address, I froze. Outside stood a group of tough-looking bikers in leather jackets, gathered around their motorcycles.

I hurried inside, hoping the bikers would be gone by the time the event ended. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stepped into the hall, surprised to find it filled with more bikers. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the event organizer stepped forward and made an announcement. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
