Big day birding tours If you’re short on time but want to increase your bird count, David Leslie’s big day birding tours could be the solution. Do you want to pack as many feathered encounters as possible into one day? There are two tours available in Aberdeenshire, an area with a variety of habitats ranging from mountains and freshwater lakes to beaches and woodland. Exploring the sky and land Birding trips don’t always have to be about checklists and binoculars. Many of the areas frequented by bird species also happen to be scenic and often only accessible on foot, making them ideal stops for a walking tour. North Norfolk is the perfect example; trails running through meadows, woodlands, vast sandy beaches, and marsh areas are prime spots for some of the UK’s top birding spectacles (壮观的景象). Meet the UK’s feathered marvels Observe both bird and marine life on a wildlife-themed tour based in Dorset at Warmwell House. Naturalists Mike Dilger and Ed Drewitt will guide several excursions, including a trip to Salisbury Plain to learn about a successful project to reintroduce bustards (大鸨). Follow in the footsteps of Anderson Dr. James Anderson was amazed by the sight of 150,000 northern gannets (北鲣鸟) gathering at Bass Rock in Scotland. The birds arrive around mid-February and reach their peak in the summer, forming the world’s largest colony of this species. You can witness this gorgeous scene on a guided trip to Northumberland and Scotland, visiting top seabird colonies.

Big day birding tours. B In a world that often rushes past quiet moments, a retired Canadian is making sure you know you are not alone, offering a simple act of kindness through a free listening service. Paul travels across Canada, offering strangers a safe space to speak their hearts. No therapy (治疗), no advice — just time, presence, . and compassion (同情). Paul’s project, I Will Listen, is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard. He sets up two chairs and a small table in public areas, inviting passers-by to sit and talk. What unfolds is often unexpected — weakness, reflection, and human connection. “I’m there as a fellow human to make connections,” said Paul. “I just create that safe space for them, a little bit like the stranger on the airplane that you’re never going to see again.” Backed by his decades of work as a registered social worker in Nova Scotia and his experience advocating for elder care, Paul brings an empathetic (感同身受的) calm to each meeting. Now 70 years old, Paul offers more than a chair and a listening ear. His own life has been marked by physical pain, and personal loss. These personal struggles allow him to relate to others on a deeper level. Still, Paul doesn’t position himself as an expert in anyone’s story. Instead, he listens with intention, allowing others to lead the conversation. This emotional support service is rooted in humility. What makes this free listening service so powerful is its simplicity. There’s no script (剧本), no time limit, and no cost. People can talk about anything — from hardships to small joys, volunteer efforts, and random thoughts. Paul offers confidentiality to those speaking to him, ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret. That promise of safety, combined with the knowledge that they likely won’t see him again, gives many the courage to open up. These moments of sharing remind people of their worth and the value of being heard—a subtle but impactful form of mental health support. 4. What does Paul’s project I Will Listen offer strangers? A. A way to release. B. Practical advice. C. Financial support. D. A professional therapy. 5. To those speakers, which word can be used to describe Paul’s identity? A. Professional. B. Confusing. C. Alarming. D. Temporary. 6. What mainly made Paul fit for the role of a listener? A. His free time. B. His life experiences. C. His personal interest. D. His wish to help others. 7. What does the underlined word “confidentiality” mean in paragraph 6? A. Help. B. Advice. C. Privacy. D. Confidence. C The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can boost your well-being (健康), a new research study has found, and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery. The authors of the review have called on healthcare providers and policy makers to integrate art into mental health strategies as a low-cost and easily-accessible resource. This study examined decades of scattered (分散的) research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. The study found that viewing art can improve well-being — that is, the kind of well-being associated with meaning in life and personal growth. These benefits were observed in a variety of locations — in museums and galleries as well as clinics and hospital settings and also through the medium of virtual reality. A wide range of art types including figurative, abstract, modern and contemporary paintings, photography, sculpture and installations (设施) were found to boost well-being. People often think of art as a luxury, but the research suggests that viewing art—whether as a hobby or as a targeted health intervention — can meaningfully support well-being. By reframing art as a low-cost, accessible well-being resource, this research opens up exciting possibilities for integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies. “Since 2019, the WHO has recommended that creative approaches be used alongside routine clinical care,” said MacKenzie, the lead author. “Art can satisfy people’s need to search for meaning in life, build self-esteem (自尊心), and develop positive identities which are important factors for coping with the chaos of life. Departments of health and arts councils across Europe are looking for high-quality evidence to identify which types of arts can be used for each type of medical outcome. This review will help to plan larger scale studies in the future.” 8. What do researchers think of using art as a way to enhance one’s well-being? A. Traditional but impractical. B. High-end and accessible. C. Cheap and available. D. Expensive but effective. 9. How did the researchers conduct their study? A. By referring to previous study data. B. By viewing arts in hospital settings. C. By examining decades of art forms. D. By focusing on a specific type of art. 10. What may the lead author agree with? A. Art has been used in clinical care. B. Art can help us get rid of chaos of life. C. The review will help to plan future art displays. D. This review opens door for more related studies. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The History of Art in Hospital Design B. Art as a Low-cost Mental Health Resource C. Painting Techniques for Emotional Growth D. Virtual Reality’s Role in Modern Art Therapy D Built like a torpedo with rows of terrifying 2.5-inch teeth, one of the world’s largest predatory sharks is a frightening sight. It’s so frightening that some might think an ocean without great white sharks would be a good thing. But their loss causes a chain effect that transforms the entire ecosystem. A new study in Frontiers in Marine Science shows what happens when great white sharks vanish. Seal Island, off South Africa’s False Bay, was once a great white shark hotspot. It is one of the few places on Earth where the sharks could be seen surging out of the water to hunt for food. “Twenty years ago, Seal Island was the greatest place on Earth to see great white sharks,” marine ecologist Neil recalls. Around 2010, the number of great white shark around False Bay started dropping off, and the decline got steeper from 2015 on. By 2018, great white sharks were gone. Exactly why the sharks vanished remains a mystery. Some suggest the animals fled because killer whales moved in. Killer whales can kill a great white shark in minutes by precisely removing its nutrient-rich liver. Neil thinks humans could also be to blame, as nearby shark nets kill somewhere between 25 and 30 great white sharks a year. Even a small loss can drive the population into decline. Great white sharks are thought to keep marine habitats healthy by removing weak and sick animals from the food chain and keeping things in balance. But proving these impacts in a real-world habitat is challenging. These kinds of ecosystem effects are very difficult for us to tease out because they require long-term data sets. Today, great white sharks’ incredible aerial displays are a thing of the past at Seal Island. “You’d never know this was a great white shark hotspot,” says Neil. For him, seeing how the whole ecosystem has changed shows the importance of enforcing shark protections and using non-lethal (不致死的) methods to protect beachgoers from shark bites. “We can’t change the killer whale’s behavior,” he says, “But we can stop the netting program.” 12. Why might some people consider great white sharks’ disappearance beneficial? A. They assume it will increase fish populations. B. They believe it’s good for marine biodiversity. C. They think great white sharks have a bad effect on tourism. D. They associate great white sharks with threats to humans. 13. What made Seal Island significant before 2010? A. It hosted the largest population of killer whales. B. It was the only hunting place for great white sharks. C. It provided a rare chance to watch great white sharks hunting. D. It was a protected breeding ground for great white sharks. 14. How do great white sharks maintain marine ecosystems according to the text? A. By controlling the number of seals directly. B. By competing with killer whales for food. C. By balancing the food chain in the ocean. D. By maintaining water temperature stability. 15. Which word can best describe Neil’s attitude to protecting great white sharks? A. Annoyed. B. Determined. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 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。 A home garden can reduce grocery bills and provide fresh, nutritious food while offering healthy outdoor activity. ____16____ Container gardening is a good option, but it requires an initial investment in planters (花盆). What if you could use something free and readily available—like a shipping box? A gardener wanted to see if a cardboard box could grow potatoes. First, he put dried leaves in a box to keep the soil moist (湿润的). Then, he added about 10 cm of soil, placed three seed potatoes inside, and covered them with more soil. Finally, he added fertilizer and water. ____17____ The potato plants began to grow within two weeks. Soon after, the boxes were covered with green leaves. As the plants grew taller, the gardener piled soil around their bases to support them. When the weather became hotter, he added a layer of dry material to keep the soil cool. ____18____ The red potatoes had insect issues, while the white ones did not, showing the importance of choosing the right plant type. At harvest time, the boxes were still in good condition. The harvest was impressive, with the larger box yielding many potatoes and the smaller one also producing a good amount. ____19____ They can support such simple growing methods. “I’ll never look at cardboard boxes the same again,” he said. “They’re a great free resource, especially for those who frequently receive shipments.” The experiment inspired many viewers to try similar methods, with people reporting success growing potatoes and other vegetables in cardboard boxes, laundry baskets, and buckets—even in small apartments with limited space. ____20____ Gardening doesn’t require expensive supplies—just creativity and a willingness to experiment. A. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to try. B. He did the same thing with a smaller box and two potatoes. C. However, limited space often discourages potential gardeners. D. Later, the plants flowered, meaning potatoes were growing below. E. Next time you have an unused shipping box, try making it a planter. F. You can buy some planters if you don’t want to use cardboard boxes. G. The gardener emphasized that many people have small outdoor areas. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a waitress, I’ve had my fair share of tough days.

Although he loved his foster parents dearly, he chose not to get adopted legally to save his foster parents the money it would cost. After all, knowing they loved him was more than enough for him. Chuck really did his best in school, keeping his promise. He studied law and was motivated to become a good lawyer after he graduated. After becoming a licensed lawyer, he started working for a top law firm. He worked his way up from a junior attorney (律师) to a partner in the firm. However, he eventually lost touch with his foster parents. Although they exchanged letters at first, his work gradually made it difficult to stay in touch, and eventually, their communication stopped completely. It had been ten years since he last saw his foster parents. Chuck had a client in the city where he grew up, so he decided to drop in on his old home. He realized it was about time he visited his foster parents, so he took a day off to spend time with them. But what greeted him there was totally unexpected. Apart from a messy lawn, he could hardly see the white paint on the walls which had been entirely covered in vines (藤蔓). As he walked towards the front door, he even wondered if anyone still lived there. Chuck knocked at the door. After a couple of seconds, his foster dad opened the door. “Chuck?” he called out. “Is that you?” “Dad,” he said, embracing him tightly. “What happened here? Are you alright? Where’s Mom and brother Ivan?” he asked. He had so many questions running through his head, and he wanted answers. “Come in, son. I can’t believe you made it home. How long has it been? 10 years?” he said, bringing his foster son inside the house. “Honey, it’s Chuck! Chuck is home!” he called out to his wife. 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。 As soon as his foster mom came out of the kitchen, Chuck’s heart sank. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Chuck returned with good news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三考试英语试卷 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍英国四款春季观鸟旅行产品，包括单日观鸟之旅、徒步观鸟、野生动物主题游及追随安德森博士的观鸟之旅，涵盖特色、时长、价格和出发时间。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Exploring the sky and land部分中的“North Norfolk is the perfect example; trails running through meadows, woodlands, vast sandy beaches, and marsh areas are prime spots for some of the UK’s top birding spectacles (壮观的景象).(北诺福克就是一个完美的例子；穿过草地、林地、广阔的沙滩和沼泽地区的小径，是英国一些顶级观鸟胜地的绝佳地点。)”可知，北诺福克被推荐观鸟是因为它有多样的栖息地，且可步行抵达。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Follow in the footsteps of Anderson部分中的“The birds arrive around mid-February and reach their peak in the summer, forming the world’s largest colony of this species.(这些鸟大约在2月中旬抵达，夏季达到数量峰值，形成了该物种在世界上最大的栖息地。)”可知，观赏北鲣鸟最大规模聚集的最佳时间是夏季。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中的价格信息：“Big day birding tours”价格为£300，“Exploring the sky and land”为£1,105，“Meet the UK’s feathered marvels”和“Follow in the footsteps of Anderson”均为£2,295，对比可知，预算紧张的游客会选择价格最低的“Big day birding tours”。故选D项。 B In a world that often rushes past quiet moments, a retired Canadian is making sure you know you are not alone, offering a simple act of kindness through a free listening service. Paul travels across Canada, offering strangers a safe space to speak their hearts. No therapy (治疗), no advice — just time, presence, . and compassion (同情). Paul’s project, I Will Listen, is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard. He sets up two chairs and a small table in public areas, inviting passers-by to sit and talk. What unfolds is often unexpected — weakness, reflection, and human connection. “I’m there as a fellow human to make connections,” said Paul. “I just create that safe space for them, a little bit like the stranger on the airplane that you’re never going to see again.” Backed by his decades of work as a registered social worker in Nova Scotia and his experience advocating for elder care, Paul brings an empathetic (感同身受的) calm to each meeting. Now 70 years old, Paul offers more than a chair and a listening ear. His own life has been marked by physical pain, and personal loss. These personal struggles allow him to relate to others on a deeper level. Still, Paul doesn’t position himself as an expert in anyone’s story. Instead, he listens with intention, allowing others to lead the conversation. This emotional support service is rooted in humility. What makes this free listening service so powerful is its simplicity. There’s no script (剧本), no time limit, and no cost. People can talk about anything — from hardships to small joys, volunteer efforts, and random thoughts. Paul offers confidentiality to those speaking to him, ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret. That promise of safety, combined with the knowledge that they likely won’t see him again, gives many the courage to open up. These moments of sharing remind people of their worth and the value of being heard—a subtle but impactful form of mental health support. 4. What does Paul’s project I Will Listen offer strangers? A. A way to release. B. Practical advice. C. Financial support. D. A professional therapy. 5. To those speakers, which word can be used to describe Paul’s identity? A. Professional. B. Confusing. C. Alarming. D. Temporary. 6. What mainly made Paul fit for the role of a listener? A. His free time. B. His life experiences. C. His personal interest. D. His wish to help others. 7. What does the underlined word “confidentiality” mean in paragraph 6? A. Help. B. Advice. C. Privacy. D. Confidence. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加拿大退休老人保罗发起“我愿意倾听”项目，在各地为陌生人提供免费倾听服务，以无建议、无治疗的纯粹陪伴，给予他人情感支持的善举。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In a world that often rushes past quiet moments, a retired Canadian is making sure you know you are not alone, offering a simple act of kindness through a free listening service. Paul travels across Canada, offering strangers a safe space to speak their hearts. No therapy (治疗), no advice — just time, presence, and compassion (同情). (在一个常常匆匆掠过宁静时刻的世界里，一位加拿大退休老人正努力让你知道你并不孤单，他通过一项免费的倾听服务提供简单的善举。保罗游历加拿大各地，为陌生人提供一个倾诉心声的安全空间。没有治疗，没有建议——只有时间、陪伴和同情。)”可知，保罗的项目为陌生人提供安全的倾诉渠道，不涉及治疗或建议，核心是让人们释放内心情绪，因此是一种“释放的方式”。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I just create that safe space for them, a little bit like the stranger on the airplane that you’re never going to see again. (我只是为他们创造一个安全的空间，有点像飞机上那个你再也不会见到的陌生人。)”可知，保罗对倾诉者而言，就像一次性相遇的陌生人，身份具有临时性。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Backed by his decades of work as a registered social worker in Nova Scotia and his experience advocating for elder care, Paul brings an empathetic (感同身受的) calm to each meeting. Now 70 years old, Paul offers more than a chair and a listening ear. His own life has been marked by physical pain, and personal loss. These personal struggles allow him to relate to others on a deeper level. (凭借在新斯科舍省担任注册社会工作者数十年的工作经历以及倡导老年护理的经验，保罗在每次会面中都能带来感同身受的平静。如今70岁的保罗提供的不仅仅是一把椅子和一双倾听的耳朵。他自己的人生也经历过身体上的痛苦和个人的损失。这些个人经历让他能在更深层次上与他人产生共鸣。)”可知，保罗的社会工作经验和个人人生经历，让他具备了成为倾听者的适配能力。故选B项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中的“Paul offers confidentiality to those speaking to him, ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret. (保罗向那些与他交谈的人提供保密性保障，确保他们分享的内容安全且保密。)”可知，破折号后“ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret”是对“confidentiality”的解释，意为“确保分享内容安全保密”，因此“confidentiality”意为“隐私、保密性”，与“Privacy”语义一致。故选C项。 C The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can boost your well-being (健康), a new research study has found, and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery. The authors of the review have called on healthcare providers and policy makers to integrate art into mental health strategies as a low-cost and easily-accessible resource. This study examined decades of scattered (分散的) research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. The study found that viewing art can improve well-being — that is, the kind of well-being associated with meaning in life and personal growth. These benefits were observed in a variety of locations — in museums and galleries as well as clinics and hospital settings and also through the medium of virtual reality. A wide range of art types including figurative, abstract, modern and contemporary paintings, photography, sculpture and installations (设施) were found to boost well-being. People often think of art as a luxury, but the research suggests that viewing art—whether as a hobby or as a targeted health intervention — can meaningfully support well-being. By reframing art as a low-cost, accessible well-being resource, this research opens up exciting possibilities for integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies. “Since 2019, the WHO has recommended that creative approaches be used alongside routine clinical care,” said MacKenzie, the lead author. “Art can satisfy people’s need to search for meaning in life, build self-esteem (自尊心), and develop positive identities which are important factors for coping with the chaos of life. Departments of health and arts councils across Europe are looking for high-quality evidence to identify which types of arts can be used for each type of medical outcome. This review will help to plan larger scale studies in the future.” 8. What do researchers think of using art as a way to enhance one’s well-being? A. Traditional but impractical. B. High-end and accessible. C. Cheap and available. D. Expensive but effective. 9. How did the researchers conduct their study? A. By referring to previous study data. B. By viewing arts in hospital settings. C. By examining decades of art forms. D. By focusing on a specific type of art. 10. What may the lead author agree with? A. Art has been used in clinical care. B. Art can help us get rid of chaos of life. C. The review will help to plan future art displays. D. This review opens door for more related studies. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The History of Art in Hospital Design B. Art as a Low-cost Mental Health Resource C. Painting Techniques for Emotional Growth D. Virtual Reality’s Role in Modern Art Therapy 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究发现观看视觉艺术可提升幸福感，且适用于多种场景、多种艺术类型，研究呼吁将艺术纳入心理健康策略，作为低成本、易获取的资源。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The authors of the review have called on healthcare providers and policy makers to integrate art into mental health strategies as a low-cost and easily-accessible resource.(该综述的作者呼吁医疗服务提供者和政策制定者将艺术纳入心理健康策略，将其作为一种低成本且易于获取的资源。)”可知，研究人员认为将艺术用作提升幸福感的方式是“廉价且易获取的”。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This study examined decades of scattered (分散的) research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being.(该研究分析了数十年间分散的研究，首次清晰、全面地概述了观看艺术何时、何地以及为何被用于促进幸福感。)”可知，研究人员是通过参考以往的研究数据来开展这项研究的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This review will help to plan larger scale studies in the future.(该综述将有助于规划未来更大规模的研究。)”可知，主要作者认为这项综述为更多相关研究打开了大门。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can boost your well-being (健康), a new research study has found, and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery. The authors of the review have called on healthcare providers and policy makers to integrate art into mental health strategies as a low-cost and easily-accessible resource.(欣赏一件视觉艺术作品这一简单举动，便能提升你的身心健康，一项新的研究发现，这种益处不仅能在艺术画廊中获得，在医院环境中也能获得。该综述的作者呼吁医疗服务提供者和政策制定者将艺术纳入心理健康策略，将其作为一种低成本且易于获取的资源。)”和第四段中的“By reframing art as a low-cost, accessible well-being resource, this research opens up exciting possibilities for integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies.(通过将艺术重新定义为一种低成本、易获取的幸福感资源，这项研究为将艺术融入日常环境和公共卫生策略开辟了令人兴奋的可能性。)”可知，文章围绕“观看艺术可提升幸福感”展开，强调艺术是一种低成本、易获取的心理健康资源，呼吁将其纳入相关策略，因此“艺术作为低成本的心理健康资源”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 D Built like a torpedo with rows of terrifying 2.5-inch teeth, one of the world’s largest predatory sharks is a frightening sight. It’s so frightening that some might think an ocean without great white sharks would be a good thing. But their loss causes a chain effect that transforms the entire ecosystem. A new study in Frontiers in Marine Science shows what happens when great white sharks vanish. Seal Island, off South Africa’s False Bay, was once a great white shark hotspot. It is one of the few places on Earth where the sharks could be seen surging out of the water to hunt for food. “Twenty years ago, Seal Island was the greatest place on Earth to see great white sharks,” marine ecologist Neil recalls. Around 2010, the number of great white shark around False Bay started dropping off, and the decline got steeper from 2015 on. By 2018, great white sharks were gone. Exactly why the sharks vanished remains a mystery. Some suggest the animals fled because killer whales moved in. Killer whales can kill a great white shark in minutes by precisely removing its nutrient-rich liver. Neil thinks humans could also be to blame, as nearby shark nets kill somewhere between 25 and 30 great white sharks a year. Even a small loss can drive the population into decline. Great white sharks are thought to keep marine habitats healthy by removing weak and sick animals from the food chain and keeping things in balance. But proving these impacts in a real-world habitat is challenging. These kinds of ecosystem effects are very difficult for us to tease out because they require long-term data sets. Today, great white sharks’ incredible aerial displays are a thing of the past at Seal Island. “You’d never know this was a great white shark hotspot,” says Neil. For him, seeing how the whole ecosystem has changed shows the importance of enforcing shark protections and using non-lethal (不致死的) methods to protect beachgoers from shark bites. “We can’t change the killer whale’s behavior,” he says, “But we can stop the netting program.” 12. Why might some people consider great white sharks’ disappearance beneficial? A. They assume it will increase fish populations. B. They believe it’s good for marine biodiversity. C. They think great white sharks have a bad effect on tourism. D. They associate great white sharks with threats to humans. 13. What made Seal Island significant before 2010? A. It hosted the largest population of killer whales. B. It was the only hunting place for great white sharks. C. It provided a rare chance to watch great white sharks hunting. D. It was a protected breeding ground for great white sharks. 14. How do great white sharks maintain marine ecosystems according to the text? A. By controlling the number of seals directly. B. By competing with killer whales for food. C. By balancing the food chain in the ocean. D. By maintaining water temperature stability. 15. Which word can best describe Neil’s attitude to protecting great white sharks? A. Annoyed. B. Determined. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了大白鲨在南非锡尔岛的消失及其对海洋生态系统的影响，分析可能的原因，并强调保护大白鲨的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Built like a torpedo with rows of terrifying 2.5-inch teeth, one of the world’s largest predatory sharks is a frightening sight. It’s so frightening that some might think an ocean without great white sharks would be a good thing. (世界上最大的掠食性鲨鱼之一，像鱼雷一样，有着一排排2.5英寸的可怕牙齿，是一个令人恐惧的景象。这太可怕了，有些人可能会认为没有大白鲨的海洋是件好事。)”可知，大白鲨的外形和攻击性会被联想到对人类构成威胁，所以人们会认为它们的消失对人类有好处。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Seal Island, off South Africa’s False Bay, was once a great white shark hotspot. It is one of the few places on Earth where the sharks could be seen surging out of the water to hunt for food. (南非福尔斯湾附近的锡尔岛曾是大白鲨的热点地区。这里是地球上少数能看到大白鲨跃出水面捕食的地方之一。)”可知，2010年之前该岛的特殊之处在于能近距离观察大白鲨的捕猎行为。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Great white sharks are thought to keep marine habitats healthy by removing weak and sick animals from the food chain and keeping things in balance. (人们认为，大白鲨可以把虚弱和生病的动物从食物链中清除出去，保持海洋生态环境的平衡，从而保持海洋栖息地的健康。)”可知，大白鲨通过平衡海洋中的食物链来维持生态系统。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For him, seeing how the whole ecosystem has changed shows the importance of enforcing shark protections and using non-lethal (不致死的) methods to protect beachgoers from shark bites. “We can’t change the killer whale’s behavior,” he says, “But we can stop the netting program.” (对他来说，看到整个生态系统的变化表明了加强鲨鱼保护和使用非致命方法保护海滩游客免受鲨鱼咬伤的重要性。“我们无法改变虎鲸的行为，”他说，“但我们可以停止布设鲨网。”)”可知，Neil强调保护大白鲨很重要，认为人类可以通过停止捕鲸来保护大白鲨，表现出他的坚定态度。故选B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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A home garden can reduce grocery bills and provide fresh, nutritious food while offering healthy outdoor activity. ____16____ Container gardening is a good option, but it requires an initial investment in planters (花盆). What if you could use something free and readily available—like a shipping box? A gardener wanted to see if a cardboard box could grow potatoes. First, he put dried leaves in a box to keep the soil moist (湿润的). Then, he added about 10 cm of soil, placed three seed potatoes inside, and covered them with more soil. Finally, he added fertilizer and water. ____17____ The potato plants began to grow within two weeks. Soon after, the boxes were covered with green leaves. As the plants grew taller, the gardener piled soil around their bases to support them. When the weather became hotter, he added a layer of dry material to keep the soil cool. ____18____ The red potatoes had insect issues, while the white ones did not, showing the importance of choosing the right plant type. At harvest time, the boxes were still in good condition. The harvest was impressive, with the larger box yielding many potatoes and the smaller one also producing a good amount. ____19____ They can support such simple growing methods. “I’ll never look at cardboard boxes the same again,” he said. “They’re a great free resource, especially for those who frequently receive shipments.” The experiment inspired many viewers to try similar methods, with people reporting success growing potatoes and other vegetables in cardboard boxes, laundry baskets, and buckets—even in small apartments with limited space. ____20____ Gardening doesn’t require expensive supplies—just creativity and a willingness to experiment. A. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to try. B. He did the same thing with a smaller box and two potatoes. C. However, limited space often discourages potential gardeners. D. Later, the plants flowered, meaning potatoes were growing below. E. Next time you have an unused shipping box, try making it a planter. F. You can buy some planters if you don’t want to use cardboard boxes. G. The gardener emphasized that many people have small outdoor areas. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. G 20.

Although he loved his foster parents dearly, he chose not to get adopted legally to save his foster parents the money it would cost. After all, knowing they loved him was more than enough for him. Chuck really did his best in school, keeping his promise. He studied law and was motivated to become a good lawyer after he graduated. After becoming a licensed lawyer, he started working for a top law firm. He worked his way up from a junior attorney (律师) to a partner in the firm. However, he eventually lost touch with his foster parents. Although they exchanged letters at first, his work gradually made it difficult to stay in touch, and eventually, their communication stopped completely. It had been ten years since he last saw his foster parents. Chuck had a client in the city where he grew up, so he decided to drop in on his old home. He realized it was about time he visited his foster parents, so he took a day off to spend time with them. But what greeted him there was totally unexpected. Apart from a messy lawn, he could hardly see the white paint on the walls which had been entirely covered in vines (藤蔓). As he walked towards the front door, he even wondered if anyone still lived there. Chuck knocked at the door. After a couple of seconds, his foster dad opened the door. “Chuck?” he called out. “Is that you?” “Dad,” he said, embracing him tightly. “What happened here? Are you alright? Where’s Mom and brother Ivan?” he asked. He had so many questions running through his head, and he wanted answers. “Come in, son. I can’t believe you made it home. How long has it been? 10 years?” he said, bringing his foster son inside the house. “Honey, it’s Chuck! Chuck is home!” he called out to his wife. 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。 As soon as his foster mom came out of the kitchen, Chuck’s heart sank. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Chuck returned with good news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As soon as his foster mom came out of the kitchen, Chuck’s heart sank. She was no longer the healthy woman he once knew. Her frail appearance suggested she hadn’t eaten well for a long time. Chuck felt a deep ache in his heart. “Ivan started a business five years ago,” his dad explained. “Though we were initially happy that Ivan had found a direction, the business eventually failed, leaving them nearly bankrupt.” Shocked and heartbroken by what his foster parents had endured, Chuck took them out to dinner and promised to return the next day. The next day, Chuck returned with good news. He informed his foster parents that he had paid off the loan and hired someone to repair the house. Handing them an envelope stuffed with cash, he smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about anything anymore.” His mom was overcome with emotion. “Chuck, you’ve done so much for us. We never expected this.” Chuck gently shook his head and said, “You gave me a home and family. Money means nothing to me. Family is everything.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述律师Chuck回访寄养家庭，发现父母因儿子创业失败而陷入困境。他不仅还清债务，还修好了房子，用行动表达对家庭的感激。他意识到，给予比接受更重要，家庭的爱比金钱更有价值。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他养母一从厨房出来，Chuck的心就沉了下去。”可知，第一段可描写Chuck发现养母身体状况不佳，养父解释原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Chuck带着好消息回来了。”可知，第二段可描写Chuck为养父母还清贷款，修缮房屋，并给予现金支持，强调家庭的重要性。 2.续写线索： 养母身体虚弱——养父解释原因——Chuck带养父母吃饭并承诺再来——Chuck还清贷款并修缮房屋——给予现金支持——强调家庭的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②还清贷款：pay off the loan/clear the debt ③给予：give/offer 情绪类 ①震惊：shocked/astonished ②感动：be overcome with emotion/be overwhelmed with emotion 【点睛】[高分句型1] Though we were initially happy that Ivan had found a direction, the business eventually failed, leaving them nearly bankrupt.（运用了though引导状语从句以及that引导宾语从句和现在分词作状语的结构） [高分句型2] Handing them an envelope stuffed with cash, he smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about anything anymore.”（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
