It is the great, green lung of the country’s southeastern coast — at times winding into the land between mountains, at others breaking through the trees to reveal quiet bays with fishing boats. Mangaratiba The quiet coastal town of Mangaratiba is just one-and-a-half-hour’s drive west of centralRio but feels a world away. When you’re in town, you can experience an unusual sense of peace, getting away from the city’s noise, and taste the famous local seafood. Don’t miss: the ruins of Praia do Saco, the remains of the Portuguese colonial settlement. Ubatuba Ubatuba is considered the water sports capital of the Costa Verde. Itamambuca Beach is a famous surf destination because of its reliable waves, while stand-up paddle (船桨) boarding is a fun choice for non-surfers. Don’t miss: Farol do Cruzeiro lighthouse, a photogenic sunset spot. Serra da Bocaina A short distance west of Angra dos Reis lies the eastern edge of Serra da Bocaina NationalPark, a wild, mountainous area fully covered by Atlantic Forest. This is a place for hiking, watching spider monkeys and swimming under the waterfalls. Don’t miss: Cachoeira de Melancia, a beautiful waterfall. Ilhabela On Ilhabela, the roofs of the town lead to mountains that are covered in the AtlanticForest. You can hike to Cachoeira da Toca — a waterfall with a small pool for swimming beneath it. There’s also a nearby cachãe distillery. You can also take a car tour to Praia DeCastelhanos, a beach on the east coast of the island. Don’t miss: the remote sands of Praia do Jabaquara, surrounded by river pools. 1. What might be the Mangaratiba trip like? A. Challenging. B. Peaceful. C. Unreasonable. D. Crowded. 2. Which place is the best choice for people who love surfing? A. Praia do Saco in Mangaratiba. B. Itamambuca Beach in Ubatuba. C. Cachoiera de Melancia in Serra da Bocaina. D.

They shared their journey together and what they have learned from the world at over 80 years old on the Internet — and, more importantly, how they made it happen. The women’s friendship began over 20 years ago on a medical trip in Zambia, Africa. Later on in Texas, both women found themselves like traveling around the world. So the pair started their adventures together to “far-flung (遥远的) places” two decades ago, but it was their latest, most ambitious trip that brought them to the world’s attention. They planned to travel around the world in 80 days at the age of 80. The global adventure has taken them nearly everywhere. “We’ve been to all seven continents (洲), most of the world’s wonders and to almost 50 countries,” Hamby said. “The most interesting or unforgettable parts aren’t about the places, but about the people we met along the journey. And of course, our journeys have not been without moments of excitement, including a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway in 2011.” Hamby and Hazelip said they had no idea their travels would turn them into social-media sensations, but they now get recognized in airports after a video on the Internet has received over 6 million views. Now they have realized the joy and inspiration they have provided for others, they are pleased to share their message of friendship and adventure. For those who may feel it is too late to live out their dreams, Hamby and Hazelip offered a powerful final message: “Get up out of your easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make a plan and live.” They even penned a new book, Here We Go — Lessons for Living Fearlessly From Two Traveling Nanas, serving as a road map to live fully, no matter what your age. 4. What brought the pair together for the first time? A. A travel club. B. An interstate flight. C. A rescue program. D. A medical journey. 5. Which of the following made the pair’s journeys most memorable? A. The people they came across. B. The railway ride they experienced. C. The famous wonders they saw. D. The number of countries they visited. 6. What does the underlined word “sensations” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Harmful public events. B. Interesting music symbols. C. Funny cultural exchanges. D. Widely talked-about persons. 7. What can be inferred about the pair’s views on aging? A. They see it as a reason for increased care. B. They regard it as a chance for new growth. C. They view it as a key to their adventure. D. They take it as a signal to slow life’s pace. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述84岁的Hamby与Hazelip因非洲医疗旅行结缘，二十年来结伴环游世界，80岁时80天环球旅行走红，传递友谊与冒险精神，鼓励他人无畏追梦。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The women’s friendship began over 20 years ago on a medical trip in Zambia, Africa. (这两位女士的友谊始于20多年前在非洲赞比亚的一次医疗旅行。)”可知，是一次医疗旅行让两人首次相遇。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The most interesting—or unforgettable parts aren’t about the places, but about the people we met along the journey. (最有趣、最难忘的不是那些地方，而是我们在旅途中遇到的人。)”可知，旅途中遇到的人让她们的旅程最难忘。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Hamby and Hazelip said they had no idea their travels would turn them into social-media sensations, but they now get recognized in airports after a video on the Internet has received over 6 million views. (Hamby和Hazelip表示，他们不知道自己的旅行会让他们在社交媒体上sensations，但在一段网络视频获得超过600万次观看后，她们现在在机场会被认出来。)”可知，她们因网络视频走红，成为社交媒体上广为人知的人，故sensations意为“广受关注的人”。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Ellie Hamby and Dr. Sandy Hazelip, both 84 and from Texas, have proven that adventure knows no age limit.(Ellie Hamby和Sandy Hazelip博士均为84岁，来自得克萨斯州，她们用行动证明，冒险无关年龄界限。)”及最后一段“Get up out of your easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make a plan and live.

One unique but effective option that’s gaining popularity is using weighted blankets (毯子). This can help you relax. It’s a simple way to reduce anxiety and sleep better, and many people are finding it. About 32% of Americans don’t get the recommended amount of sleep, which is at least 7 hours a night, according to experts. Sleep troubles affect as many as 35% of adults occasionally, with 10% facing chronic (长期的) challenges in falling and staying asleep. Weighted blankets function similarly to swaddling (包裹) a baby, providing a comforting feeling. Using a weighted blanket helps your heart, your breath and your body give off feel-good hormones (激素). This, in turn, reduces anxiety and contributes to a more peaceful sleep. The weight of these blankets ranges from 5 to 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed, making it manageable and comfortable. In 2020, eight studies found that weighted blankets had a calming effect on individuals. That same year, a study in Sweden surveyed 120 people who were struggling with sleeplessness and sadness. Those who used weighted blankets reported better sleep quality and less daytime tiredness, anxiety and sadness. Sleep experts suggest using these blankets to achieve better sleep. Alanna McGinn, a lead sleep expert, highlights their effectiveness in addressing sleep-related issues. However, those with specific medical conditions, particularly blood disorders, should seek guidance from a healthcare provider before using a weighted blanket. “And if you’re someone who gets a little claustrophobic (患幽闭恐怖症的), it’s probably not the best thing for you,” adds Alanna McGinn. These blankets may not be suitable for you as the added weight can increase discomfort. In a word, try a weighted blanket — science says its gentle hug can unlock deeper sleep and brighter days. 8. What is the benefit of using a weighted blanket according to the text? A. It helps you lose weight. B. It makes your bed warmer. C. It helps people with blood disorders. D. It reduces anxiety and improves sleep. 9. How heavy can weighted blankets be? A. 1 to 5 pounds. B. 5 to 30 pounds. C. 30 to 50 pounds. D. Over 30 pounds. 10. What did the study in Sweden show about people using weighted blankets? A. They felt more awake at night. B. They had more dreams. C. They reported better sleep. D. They stopped using other sleep aids. 11. Who should be careful or avoid using weighted blankets? A. People who sleep alone. B. People who sleep too much. C. People who like light blankets. D. People with certain medical conditions. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍重压毯可缓解焦虑、改善睡眠的功效，及相关研究与使用注意事项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It’s a simple way to reduce anxiety and sleep better, and many people are finding it. (这是一种缓解焦虑、改善睡眠的简单方法，很多人都发现了它的效果)”以及第三段中的“Using a weighted blanket helps your heart, your breath and your body give off feel-good hormones (激素). This, in turn, reduces anxiety and contributes to a more peaceful sleep.(使用重压毯有助于你的心脏、呼吸和身体释放让人感觉愉悦的激素。这反过来又能缓解焦虑，有助于获得更安稳的睡眠)”可知，使用重压毯的好处是缓解焦虑、改善睡眠。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The weight of these blankets ranges from 5 to 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed, making it manageable and comfortable.(这些毯子的重量从5磅到30磅不等，听起来很多，但分布在整个床上，使得它易于承受且舒适)”可知，重压毯的重量范围是5到30磅。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“That same year, a study in Sweden surveyed 120 people who were struggling with sleeplessness and sadness. Those who used weighted blankets reported better sleep quality and less daytime tiredness, anxiety and sadness.(同年，瑞典的一项研究调查了120名饱受失眠和悲伤困扰的人。那些使用重压毯的人报告说睡眠质量更好，白天疲倦感、焦虑和悲伤情绪也有所减轻)”可知，瑞典的这项研究显示使用重压毯的人睡眠质量更好。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“However, those with specific medical conditions, particularly blood disorders, should seek guidance from a healthcare provider before using a weighted blanket. “And if you’re someone who gets a little claustrophobic (患幽闭恐怖症的), it’s probably not the best thing for you,” adds Alanna McGinn.(然而，那些有特定疾病的人，尤其是血液疾病患者，在使用重压毯前应咨询医疗服务提供者。阿兰娜・麦金补充道：“如果你有点幽闭恐惧症，这可能不适合你。”)”可知，有特定疾病的人应谨慎或避免使用重压毯。故选D项。 D Under the large thick areas of ice in Antarctica (南极洲), there are hundreds of hidden lakes that play an important role in shaping Antarctica’s cold environment. These lakes affect how glaciers (冰川) move, which in turn can affect global sea levels. Scientists have recently discovered 85 new subglacial (冰川下的) lakes using some information from the European Space Agency’s CryoSat satellite, which has been observing the area for over ten years. This discovery increases the total number of known active subglacial lakes in Antarctica to 231. The study, published in Nature Communications, is important because these lakes drain (排水) and refill repeatedly, which makes it difficult to observe what happens deep under the ice. Sally Wilson, a researcher from the University of Leeds, explained that the challenge is that these lakes are under hundreds of meters of ice. “It is hard to observe the process of filling and draining, as it can take months or years.Before this study, only 36 complete cycles of filling and draining had been observed. Now, we have observed 12 more complete fill-drain events, bringing the total to 48,” she said. Satellites have been important in this discovery. CryoSat has been observing the thickness of polar ice and measuring changes in ice sheet heights over Greenland and Antarctica for over ten years. By checking the information from CryoSat, scientists could notice changes in the ice surface caused by the filling and draining of these subglacial lakes. Understanding these changes brings new hope for studying sea level rise. Now, models used to study sea level rise do not include the effects of subglacial lakes. This new research will help improve these models by offering more information on how water moves under Antarctica’s ice. “By mapping where and when these lakes are active, we can have a better understanding of future sea level rise in advance,” said Sally. 12. What does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. Antarctica’s thick ice areas are becoming smaller. B. Global warming puts subglacial lakes in danger. C. Subglacial lakes affect Antarctica’s environment. D. Rising sea levels strike the developing countries. 13. What does the author want to do in paragraph 4? A. Come up with new ideas about subglacial lakes. B. Describe the possible problems subglacial lakes bring. C. Raise a reasonable doubt about the appearance of subglacial lakes. D. Present a further explanation for the trouble of observing subglacial lakes. 14. What does Sally want to stress in the last paragraph? A. The changes of Antarctica’s ice. B. The value of the study’s findings. C. The disadvantages of these models. D. The development of sea levels. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. New Research Results of the University of Leeds. B. Antarctica Observation Tools: Helping Find Hidden Lakes. C. Sea Level Models: Made Better by New Study. D. The Discovery and Role of Antarctica Subglacial Lakes. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了南极冰下湖泊的发现、观测难点及其对南极环境和全球海平面的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Under the large thick areas of ice in Antarctica (南极洲), there are hundreds of hidden lakes that play an important role in shaping Antarctica’s cold environment. These lakes affect how glaciers (冰川) move, which in turn can affect global sea levels. (在南极厚厚的冰层下，有数百个隐藏的湖泊，它们在塑造南极寒冷环境方面发挥着重要作用。这些湖泊会影响冰川的移动方式，进而影响全球海平面)”可知，冰下湖泊会影响南极的环境。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“makes it difficult to observe what happens deep under the ice (使得观察冰下深处发生的事情很难)”以及第四段“It is hard to observe the process of filling and draining, as it can take months or years. Before this study, only 36 complete cycles of filling and draining had been observed. (观测湖泊的充水和排水过程很困难，因为这个过程可能需要数月甚至数年。在此研究之前，仅观察到36个完整的充水和排水循环)”可知，作者在本段进一步解释观测冰下湖泊的困难。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This new research will help improve these models by offering more information on how water moves under Antarctica’s ice. “By mapping where and when these lakes are active, we can have a better understanding of future sea level rise in advance,” said Sally.

He took part in some book sharing activities and completed some reading tests to encourage students’ interest in reading and their continuous reading. One day, Bruce was assigned a book about insects (昆虫) full of colorful pictures and simple explanations. The book ended with a quiz, which was intended to test the students’ recall. “Can ants fly?” asked Bruce. “No,” each of the 5-year-old students in the room offered the same answer. In so doing, they were loudly repeating what the book had said, as the ants march across the ground but cannot leave it. Hearing this, Bruce nodded with a smile approvingly and praised the kids for remembering the book’s content so clearly. But then, Lucy, a little girl, who seldom spoke and was very shy, was evidently embarrassed by the sound of her own still voice. “But I have seen wings on ants. Why can’t they fly? I have actually seen them flying away when I was working on my uncles farm in the countryside.” While other kids were laughing at Lucy’s answer, Bruce was puzzled, thinking to himself, “Surely the answer on the book is the authority (权威) on the subject and the little girl was wrong. Whatever winged insect she thought she had seen must have been something else, such as a termite (白蚁). Yet how should I answer? Should I simply point to the answer key, tell the little girl that she has missed the question, and move on?” Bruce, a serious man of science, took a different strategy. “I am sorry,” he said. “I will have to check into this and report back next time.” Soon the class was over and the kids left the room happily. 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。 When getting home, Bruce set about reading up on ants in his study. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Bruce returned to the classroom, with a book about flying ants and a gift. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When getting home, Bruce set about reading up on ants in his study. He searched academic books and online resources, only to find that some ant species do have wings and can fly, called flying ants. They usually appear during breeding seasons to mate and establish new colonies. Bruce realized Lucy was right and felt ashamed for doubting her. He prepared a book about flying ants with vivid pictures and a small model of flying ants as a gift. The next day, Bruce returned to the classroom, with a book about flying ants and a gift. He showed the book to the students, pointing out pictures of flying ants and explaining their habits. He apologized to Lucy publicly, praising her careful observation. Then he gave her the model, saying, “Your curiosity and courage to speak up are precious.” The class, which had been filled with curiosity and anticipation, broke into applause. From then on, students became more willing to share their discoveries, and Bruce learned that authority isn’t always infallible, and children’s genuine observations are invaluable. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了退休的Bruce在小学做志愿者阅读时，面对学生Lucy对蚂蚁能否飞的独特看法，他未盲目否定，而是决定核实后再答复。下课后孩子们开心离开。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家后，布鲁斯开始在他的书房里查阅有关蚂蚁的资料。”可知，第一段可描写布鲁斯查阅资料后发现确实有会飞的蚂蚁，他感到羞愧并准备了一本关于飞蚁的书和一个小礼物。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，布鲁斯带着一本关于飞蚁的书和一份礼物回到了教室。”可知，第二段可描写布鲁斯向学生们展示飞蚁的书，向露西道歉并表扬她，还送给她一个模型，学生们受到鼓舞，布鲁斯也从中得到感悟。 2.续写线索：查阅资料——发现真相——感到羞愧——准备关于飞蚁的书和礼物——回到教室展示关于飞蚁的书——道歉表扬并赠送礼物——学生受鼓舞——布鲁斯感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①查阅：search/ delve into ②准备：prepare/ make meticulous preparations for ③展示：show/ display 情绪类 ①羞愧：feel ashamed/ be filled with shame ②勇气：courage/ bravery 【点睛】[高分句型1] He searched academic books and online resources, only to find that some ant species do have wings and can fly, called flying ants.（使用了动词不定式作结果状语和that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] The class, which had been filled with curiosity and anticipation, broke into applause.（使用了which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为the class） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025——2026学年全市普通高中联盟高一上学期期中考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

It is the great, green lung of the country’s southeastern coast — at times winding into the land between mountains, at others breaking through the trees to reveal quiet bays with fishing boats. Mangaratiba The quiet coastal town of Mangaratiba is just one-and-a-half-hour’s drive west of centralRio but feels a world away. When you’re in town, you can experience an unusual sense of peace, getting away from the city’s noise, and taste the famous local seafood. Don’t miss: the ruins of Praia do Saco, the remains of the Portuguese colonial settlement. Ubatuba Ubatuba is considered the water sports capital of the Costa Verde. Itamambuca Beach is a famous surf destination because of its reliable waves, while stand-up paddle (船桨) boarding is a fun choice for non-surfers. Don’t miss: Farol do Cruzeiro lighthouse, a photogenic sunset spot. Serra da Bocaina A short distance west of Angra dos Reis lies the eastern edge of Serra da Bocaina NationalPark, a wild, mountainous area fully covered by Atlantic Forest. This is a place for hiking, watching spider monkeys and swimming under the waterfalls. Don’t miss: Cachoeira de Melancia, a beautiful waterfall. Ilhabela On Ilhabela, the roofs of the town lead to mountains that are covered in the AtlanticForest. You can hike to Cachoeira da Toca — a waterfall with a small pool for swimming beneath it. There’s also a nearby cachãe distillery. You can also take a car tour to Praia DeCastelhanos, a beach on the east coast of the island. Don’t miss: the remote sands of Praia do Jabaquara, surrounded by river pools. 1. What might be the Mangaratiba trip like? A. Challenging. B. Peaceful. C. Unreasonable. D. Crowded. 2.

B Ellie Hamby and Dr. Sandy Hazelip, both 84 and from Texas, have proven that adventure knows no age limit. They shared their journey together and what they have learned from the world at over 80 years old on the Internet — and, more importantly, how they made it happen. The women’s friendship began over 20 years ago on a medical trip in Zambia, Africa. Later on in Texas, both women found themselves like traveling around the world. So the pair started their adventures together to “far-flung (遥远的) places” two decades ago, but it was their latest, most ambitious trip that brought them to the world’s attention. They planned to travel around the world in 80 days at the age of 80. The global adventure has taken them nearly everywhere. “We’ve been to all seven continents (洲), most of the world’s wonders and to almost 50 countries,” Hamby said. “The most interesting or unforgettable parts aren’t about the places, but about the people we met along the journey. And of course, our journeys have not been without moments of excitement, including a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway in 2011.” Hamby and Hazelip said they had no idea their travels would turn them into social-media sensations, but they now get recognized in airports after a video on the Internet has received over 6 million views. Now they have realized the joy and inspiration they have provided for others, they are pleased to share their message of friendship and adventure. For those who may feel it is too late to live out their dreams, Hamby and Hazelip offered a powerful final message: “Get up out of your easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make a plan and live.” They even penned a new book, Here We Go — Lessons for Living Fearlessly From Two Traveling Nanas, serving as a road map to live fully, no matter what your age. 4. What brought the pair together for the first time? A. A travel club. B. An interstate flight. C. A rescue program. D. A medical journey. 5. Which of the following made the pair’s journeys most memorable? A. The people they came across. B. The railway ride they experienced. C. The famous wonders they saw. D. The number of countries they visited. 6. What does the underlined word “sensations” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Harmful public events. B. Interesting music symbols. C. Funny cultural exchanges. D. Widely talked-about persons. 7. What can be inferred about the pair’s views on aging? A. They see it as a reason for increased care. B. They regard it as a chance for new growth. C. They view it as a key to their adventure. D. They take it as a signal to slow life’s pace. C When you have trouble sleeping, you might try different things to help. One unique but effective option that’s gaining popularity is using weighted blankets (毯子). This can help you relax. It’s a simple way to reduce anxiety and sleep better, and many people are finding it. About 32% of Americans don’t get the recommended amount of sleep, which is at least 7 hours a night, according to experts. Sleep troubles affect as many as 35% of adults occasionally, with 10% facing chronic (长期的) challenges in falling and staying asleep. Weighted blankets function similarly to swaddling (包裹) a baby, providing a comforting feeling. Using a weighted blanket helps your heart, your breath and your body give off feel-good hormones (激素). This, in turn, reduces anxiety and contributes to a more peaceful sleep. The weight of these blankets ranges from 5 to 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed, making it manageable and comfortable. In 2020, eight studies found that weighted blankets had a calming effect on individuals. That same year, a study in Sweden surveyed 120 people who were struggling with sleeplessness and sadness. Those who used weighted blankets reported better sleep quality and less daytime tiredness, anxiety and sadness. Sleep experts suggest using these blankets to achieve better sleep. Alanna McGinn, a lead sleep expert, highlights their effectiveness in addressing sleep-related issues. However, those with specific medical conditions, particularly blood disorders, should seek guidance from a healthcare provider before using a weighted blanket. “And if you’re someone who gets a little claustrophobic (患幽闭恐怖症的), it’s probably not the best thing for you,” adds Alanna McGinn. These blankets may not be suitable for you as the added weight can increase discomfort. In a word, try a weighted blanket — science says its gentle hug can unlock deeper sleep and brighter days. 8. What is the benefit of using a weighted blanket according to the text? A. It helps you lose weight. B. It makes your bed warmer. C. It helps people with blood disorders. D. It reduces anxiety and improves sleep. 9. How heavy can weighted blankets be? A. 1 to 5 pounds. B. 5 to 30 pounds. C. 30 to 50 pounds. D. Over 30 pounds. 10. What did the study in Sweden show about people using weighted blankets? A. They felt more awake at night. B. They had more dreams. C. They reported better sleep. D. They stopped using other sleep aids. 11. Who should be careful or avoid using weighted blankets? A. People who sleep alone. B. People who sleep too much. C. People who like light blankets. D. People with certain medical conditions. D Under the large thick areas of ice in Antarctica (南极洲), there are hundreds of hidden lakes that play an important role in shaping Antarctica’s cold environment. These lakes affect how glaciers (冰川) move, which in turn can affect global sea levels. Scientists have recently discovered 85 new subglacial (冰川下的) lakes using some information from the European Space Agency’s CryoSat satellite, which has been observing the area for over ten years. This discovery increases the total number of known active subglacial lakes in Antarctica to 231. The study, published in Nature Communications, is important because these lakes drain (排水) and refill repeatedly, which makes it difficult to observe what happens deep under the ice. Sally Wilson, a researcher from the University of Leeds, explained that the challenge is that these lakes are under hundreds of meters of ice. “It is hard to observe the process of filling and draining, as it can take months or years.Before this study, only 36 complete cycles of filling and draining had been observed. Now, we have observed 12 more complete fill-drain events, bringing the total to 48,” she said. Satellites have been important in this discovery. CryoSat has been observing the thickness of polar ice and measuring changes in ice sheet heights over Greenland and Antarctica for over ten years. By checking the information from CryoSat, scientists could notice changes in the ice surface caused by the filling and draining of these subglacial lakes. Understanding these changes brings new hope for studying sea level rise. Now, models used to study sea level rise do not include the effects of subglacial lakes. This new research will help improve these models by offering more information on how water moves under Antarctica’s ice. “By mapping where and when these lakes are active, we can have a better understanding of future sea level rise in advance,” said Sally. 12.

He took part in some book sharing activities and completed some reading tests to encourage students’ interest in reading and their continuous reading. One day, Bruce was assigned a book about insects (昆虫) full of colorful pictures and simple explanations. The book ended with a quiz, which was intended to test the students’ recall. “Can ants fly?” asked Bruce. “No,” each of the 5-year-old students in the room offered the same answer. In so doing, they were loudly repeating what the book had said, as the ants march across the ground but cannot leave it. Hearing this, Bruce nodded with a smile approvingly and praised the kids for remembering the book’s content so clearly. But then, Lucy, a little girl, who seldom spoke and was very shy, was evidently embarrassed by the sound of her own still voice. “But I have seen wings on ants. Why can’t they fly? I have actually seen them flying away when I was working on my uncles farm in the countryside.” While other kids were laughing at Lucy’s answer, Bruce was puzzled, thinking to himself, “Surely the answer on the book is the authority (权威) on the subject and the little girl was wrong. Whatever winged insect she thought she had seen must have been something else, such as a termite (白蚁). Yet how should I answer? Should I simply point to the answer key, tell the little girl that she has missed the question, and move on?” Bruce a serious man of science, took a different strategy. “I am sorry,” he said. “I will have to check into this and report back next time.” Soon the class was over and the kids left the room happily. 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。 When getting home, Bruce set about reading up on ants in his study. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Bruce returned to the classroom, with a book about flying ants and a gift. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
