Each features extraordinary characters whose moral strength shines even in adversity. Forrest Gump (1994) Forrest Gump, a kind-hearted but simple-minded man, unintentionally influences decades of American history. Through his unconditional love for troubled Jenny and firm loyalty to friend Bubba, Forrest proves that integrity and simplicity can create an extraordinary life. Forrest Gump, powered by Tom Hanks’ remarkable performance, is a guaranteed top-five must-watch. Soul Surfer (2011) Based on a true story, this inspiring movie follows the teenage surfing talent Bethany who loses her left arm in a shark attack. Refusing to give up her dreams, Bethany battles physical and emotional challenges to return to competitive surfing with committed faith and determination.

B In the 7th grade during cultural week, the teacher asked us to talk about what makes our heritage special. I thought my answer would be simple. I’ve always told people that I’m half Peruvian and half Bolivian. It was quite different from my classmates who proudly answered that they were 100% Colombian or Venezuelan. When asked to talk about how I embrace my cultural identity, I began to feel stuck. I have lived in Florida my entire life. English is my primary language and my Spanish, as a poet beautifully explained in a poem, “is a phantom limb (幻肢): reaching for a word and only finding air.” When I reflected on how I grew up, the only difference was in the background details. Since I was born, we’d traveled to visit my parents’ hometowns at least once a year. One thing that always stood out to me was how mirrored my mom and dad’s families were. They each had the stereotypical, sizeable families consisting of many relatives which I perceived as a great contrast to my four-membered family. Their lifestyle was unforgettable and impressive. My two aunts would spend most of the day in the kitchen preparing full-course meals. In Peru it was no different, my grandmother basically lived in the kitchen, making sure every family member had their preferred plate. Sunday is the dedicated family day when everyone comes together for lunch, with no uncle, great-aunt, or distant cousin ever being a stranger. If further down in my school career I get asked about my cultural identity, I would know. I would reflect the Peruvian-Bolivian heritage that makes up who I am through my family who live in faraway countries. My cultural experience has driven me to be proud of the heritage. My cultural identity is a huge part of who I am today. 4. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 1? A. He dismissed self-identity crisis. B. He was proud of her culture. C. He spoke poor Spanish. D. His friends were mostly mixed-race. 5. What is the difference between the author’s family and his parents’ families? A. The economical lifestyle. B. The household size. C. The educational background. D. The eating habits. 6. What possibly impressed the author most about his parents’ families? A. The emphasis on family values. B. The habit of living in the kitchen. C. The preference for Peruvian food. D. The passion for festive gatherings. 7. What shapes the author’s cultural identity? A. The pride in his heritage. B. The heritage in his hometown. C. The experience in the school. D. The effect from his family. C Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities. To know what’s going on, Serve has a laser radar (激光雷达) sensor on top, in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know how far away they are. Also, behind each artificial eye is a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. “One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. Since the sidewalk is “a very chaotic environment”, he points out, the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians. For that, it has a number of approaches. One is using its eyes; another is a colorful light ring that goes around the top. “When it wants to make way for a pedestrian, it will use its eyes and look down,” he explains. It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signal, which is obvious, and also look left and right when it’s turning left and right. “Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea,” says Aaron Steinfeld, a professor of human-robot interaction. Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot, that’s a lot. “We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,” he says. “And it’s really tricky to do this well.” Postmates plans to use Serve in Los Angeles at first, and that its intended task is to move small objects over short distances. The robot can travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds. 8. What is the specific function of the additional sensor that Serve has inside its body? A. To monitor package condition. B. To detect if a package is inside. C. To measure package weight. D. To detect movement around. 9. According to the text, how does Serve primarily detect and understand its environment? A. By heavily relying on its ability to see. B. Through its advanced hearing sensors. C. By following pre-programmed routes only. D. By communicating directly with pedestrians. 10. What’s the major challenge for robots on sidewalks mentioned by Professor Aaron Steinfeld? A. The weight of the packages they have to carry. B. The limited range of 30 miles on a single charge. C. The behavior of people walking fast while looking at their phones. D. The inability of sensors to work in rainy weather. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Postmates’ robot Serve and its key features. B. To describe the challenges robots face when operating on urban sidewalks. C. To explain the technical specifications of Postmates’ delivery robot Serve. D. To discuss the importance of human-robot interaction in technology development. D The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve (进化), thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research. More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. After their extinction, the forests grew back thicker, seeds and fruits increased substantially in size. Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. The trees that moved farther away from their mother trees were very delighted because they didn’t have to put up with the same diseases that their mothers had. That’s an evolutionary incentive. However, there hasn’t been much evidence to support this theory. To address this, the research team created a model where seed and fruit size increased as a response to the darker forest understory that followed dinosaur extinction. The data suggested about 35 million years ago, seeds started getting smaller, because land animals had once again become sufficiently large to have a similar effect on the forests. “The evolutionary pressure for seed size to increase began to decline. Thus, we were able to explain the trends in seed size over time without considering external influences such as climate change,” Researchers said. Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer? Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones. 12. What contributed to the smaller seed sizes before dinosaurs’ extinction? A. Enormous trees. B. Sufficient light. C. Animals’ intake. D. Climate change. 13. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “incentive” in paragraph 3? A. Origin. B. Proof. C. Characteristic. D. Motivation. 14. What may influence the fruit size in modern society? A. The evolutionary pressure. B. The selective lighting system. C. The continuous deforestation. D. The genetically engineered seeds. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Dinosaurs: The Ecosystem Engineers. B. Humans: The Modern-Day Dinosaurs. C. Love fruit? Thank Dinosaur Mass Extinction. D. Feel surprised? Dinosaurs Shaped Fruit Diversity. 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。 One of the most valuable investments you can make is in yourself. ____16____ In reality, these excuses often stem from undervaluing personal growth. Self-investment isn’t about grand gestures — it’s choosing actions that enrich your life, whether learning a skill, exploring a new place, or nurturing meaningful relationships. Even small efforts, like reading a book, spending time in nature, or attending a workshop, can spark significant growth. ____17____ To begin, start with simple and achievable steps. ____18____ For instance, join a fitness class, enroll in an online course, or try a creative hobby like painting. Workshops and seminars not only build skills but also connect you with like-minded peers. Focus on forming habits that support your goals — whether waking up earlier, practicing mindfulness, or dedicating 30 minutes daily to learning. Equally important is letting go of habits that hold you back, such as procrastination or negative self-talk. ____19____ Completing a course or mastering a hobby boosts confidence, proving you can overcome challenges. Unlike temporary jobs, the skills you develop — like critical thinking or communication — stay with you, creating lifelong stability. Additionally, investing in relationships strengthens your support network, offering joy and resilience during tough times. Don’t wait for the “perfect moment.” If you’re on the fence about a new venture or opportunity that would enrich your life, don’t pass it up by continuously telling yourself that you’ll do it “someday.”____20____ Instead, ask yourself: “Will this add value to my life?” If the answer is yes, act now. Don’t wait any longer to get started. A. After all, tomorrow is another day. B. Watch small efforts blossom into lasting rewards. C. Tomorrow after tomorrow, yet tomorrow never arrives. D. With this perspective, the process becomes straightforward. E. Yet, many people delay this, claiming they lack time or money. F. Identify activities that correspond with your interests and budget. G. But all too often, the benefits of investing in yourself get lost in the chaos. 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。 On a freezing winter night in Minnesota, heavy snow blanketed the roads. ____21____ I wouldn’t drive in that kind of weather, but I’d been at a Tupperware party all evening, and I was so exhausted.

They had been inseparable as kids, spending countless afternoons exploring the woods and building shelters together. But as they grew older, their paths began to separate. Liam’s growing fame as a brilliant painter, with his parents proudly displaying his artwork during the weekly Yard-Sale Day, made Jake feel left out. The admiration Liam received from the community only deepened Jake’s sense of loneliness. Though there had been no argument, the bond they once shared with each other seemed to fade. One sunny afternoon, as Jake was fixing his bike in the driveway, Liam approached him with an unexpected idea. “Hey, Jake! How about teaming up for the annual Kite Day competition this year?” Liam asked, his eyes shining with excitement. Jake looked up, surprised. “Us? Together? Are you sure?” he replied, doubt clear in his voice. “Of course You’re great at figuring out how things work, and I can handle the design. We’d make an unbeatable team,” Liam said confidently, extending his hand. His enthusiasm was hard to resist. After a moment’s hesitation, Jake shrugged(耸肩)and smiled. “Alright, why not? Let’s do it,” he said, shaking Liam’s hand. Liam’s smile widened, and he gave Jake a hearty high-five. In the weeks leading up to the Kite Day competition, the two friends threw themselves into the project. They spent hours thinking of ideas, drawing designs, and gathering materials. Liam’s artistic talent brought their kite to life with bright colors and detailed patterns, while Jake’s good understanding of how things fly ensured the kite would soar(高飞)effortlessly. Working side by side, the boys found themselves reconnecting. They laughed over old memories and shared stories about their dreams for the future. The tension that had once hung between them began to disappear. Together, they transformed humble materials into an amazing masterpiece — a kite shaped like a dragon uniquely detailed and painted in bright, eye-catching colors. 注意： (1)续写短文的词数应为150左右; (2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 The long-anticipated day finally arrived. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When their kite took flight, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语测试 考生须知： 1. 本卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟； 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效； 4. 考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

They each had the stereotypical, sizeable families consisting of many relatives which I perceived as a great contrast to my four-membered family. Their lifestyle was unforgettable and impressive. My two aunts would spend most of the day in the kitchen preparing full-course meals. In Peru it was no different, my grandmother basically lived in the kitchen, making sure every family member had their preferred plate. Sunday is the dedicated family day when everyone comes together for lunch, with no uncle, great-aunt, or distant cousin ever being a stranger. If further down in my school career I get asked about my cultural identity, I would know. I would reflect the Peruvian-Bolivian heritage that makes up who I am through my family who live in faraway countries. My cultural experience has driven me to be proud of the heritage. My cultural identity is a huge part of who I am today. 4. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 1? A. He dismissed self-identity crisis. B. He was proud of her culture. C. He spoke poor Spanish. D. His friends were mostly mixed-race. 5. What is the difference between the author’s family and his parents’ families? A. The economical lifestyle. B. The household size. C. The educational background. D. The eating habits. 6. What possibly impressed the author most about his parents’ families? A. The emphasis on family values. B. The habit of living in the kitchen. C. The preference for Peruvian food. D. The passion for festive gatherings. 7. What shapes the author’s cultural identity? A. The pride in his heritage. B. The heritage in his hometown. C. The experience in the school. D. The effect from his family. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为秘鲁和玻利维亚混血儿，在七年级文化周被要求谈论文化遗产时陷入困惑，后通过回忆每年探访父母故乡、感受双方家庭的生活与价值观，最终明晰并认同自身文化身份的经历。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“English is my primary language and my Spanish, as a poet beautifully explained in a poem, “is a phantom limb: reaching for a word and only finding air.”(英语是我的主要语言，而我的西班牙语，就像一位诗人在诗中精妙描述的那样：“如同幻肢 —— 想要说出一个词，却只摸到空气”)”可知，作者的西班牙语水平很差，难以准确表达。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They each had the stereotypical, sizeable families consisting of many relatives which I perceived as a great contrast to my four-membered family.(他们各自都有典型的、成员众多的大家庭，亲戚遍布，这与我只有四口人的小家庭形成了鲜明对比)”可知，作者的家庭与父母的家庭的差异在于家庭规模。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sunday is the dedicated family day when everyone comes together for lunch, with no uncle, great-aunt, or distant cousin ever being a stranger.(周日是专属家庭日，所有人都会聚在一起吃午饭，无论是叔叔、姑婆还是远房表亲，都不会显得陌生)”可知，父母家庭对“家庭团聚”的重视，体现了浓厚的家庭价值观，这是最打动作者的部分。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I would reflect the Peruvian-Bolivian heritage that makes up who I am through my family who live in faraway countries.(我会通过住在遥远国家的家人，展现构成我身份的秘鲁—玻利维亚文化遗产)”可知，作者的文化身份是由家人的影响塑造的。故选D。 C Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities. To know what’s going on, Serve has a laser radar (激光雷达) sensor on top, in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know how far away they are. Also, behind each artificial eye is a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. “One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. Since the sidewalk is “a very chaotic environment”, he points out, the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians. For that, it has a number of approaches. One is using its eyes; another is a colorful light ring that goes around the top. “When it wants to make way for a pedestrian, it will use its eyes and look down,” he explains. It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signal, which is obvious, and also look left and right when it’s turning left and right. “Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea,” says Aaron Steinfeld, a professor of human-robot interaction. Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot, that’s a lot. “We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,” he says. “And it’s really tricky to do this well.” Postmates plans to use Serve in Los Angeles at first, and that its intended task is to move small objects over short distances. The robot can travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds. 8. What is the specific function of the additional sensor that Serve has inside its body? A. To monitor package condition. B. To detect if a package is inside. C. To measure package weight. D. To detect movement around. 9. According to the text, how does Serve primarily detect and understand its environment? A. By heavily relying on its ability to see. B. Through its advanced hearing sensors. C. By following pre-programmed routes only. D. By communicating directly with pedestrians. 10. What’s the major challenge for robots on sidewalks mentioned by Professor Aaron Steinfeld? A. The weight of the packages they have to carry. B. The limited range of 30 miles on a single charge. C. The behavior of people walking fast while looking at their phones. D. The inability of sensors to work in rainy weather. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Postmates’ robot Serve and its key features. B. To describe the challenges robots face when operating on urban sidewalks. C. To explain the technical specifications of Postmates’ delivery robot Serve. D. To discuss the importance of human-robot interaction in technology development. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种可以在城市中进行短距离投递的机器人。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. (机器人内部还有另一个传感器，能让Postmates公司知道里面是否装有包裹)”可知，Serve内部额外传感器的特定功能是检测内部是否有包裹。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,”says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. (Postmates公司机器人部门副总裁阿里・卡沙尼表示：“我们早期的关键决策之一，就是高度依赖机器人观察环境的能力。”)”可知，Serve主要通过高度依赖自身的观察能力来感知和理解周围环境。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot, that’s a lot. (Serve适用于人行道，斯坦菲尔德表示这种环境极具挑战性。人们通常会盯着智能手机快速行走，这对机器人来说难度很大)”可知，亚伦・斯坦菲尔德教授提到的人行道机器人面临的主要挑战是“人们盯着手机快速行走的行为”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities. (美国快递公司 Postmates 研发了一款名为 Serve 的机器人，其设计用途是在城市中进行短途配送)”以及后续段落又分别介绍了Serve的传感器配置、感知环境的方式、与行人的互动设计及使用计划等核心特征可知，文章主要目的是介绍Postmates公司的机器人Serve及其关键特点。故选A项。 D The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve (进化), thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research. More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. After their extinction, the forests grew back thicker, seeds and fruits increased substantially in size. Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. The trees that moved farther away from their mother trees were very delighted because they didn’t have to put up with the same diseases that their mothers had. That’s an evolutionary incentive. However, there hasn’t been much evidence to support this theory. To address this, the research team created a model where seed and fruit size increased as a response to the darker forest understory that followed dinosaur extinction. The data suggested about 35 million years ago, seeds started getting smaller, because land animals had once again become sufficiently large to have a similar effect on the forests. “The evolutionary pressure for seed size to increase began to decline. Thus, we were able to explain the trends in seed size over time without considering external influences such as climate change,” Researchers said. Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer? Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones. 12. What contributed to the smaller seed sizes before dinosaurs’ extinction? A. Enormous trees. B. Sufficient light. C. Animals’ intake. D. Climate change. 13. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “incentive” in paragraph 3? A. Origin. B. Proof. C. Characteristic. D. Motivation. 14. What may influence the fruit size in modern society? A. The evolutionary pressure. B. The selective lighting system. C. The continuous deforestation. D. The genetically engineered seeds. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Dinosaurs: The Ecosystem Engineers. B. Humans: The Modern-Day Dinosaurs. C. Love fruit? Thank Dinosaur Mass Extinction. D. Feel surprised? Dinosaurs Shaped Fruit Diversity. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究指出，恐龙灭绝后森林变密、光照竞争加剧，促使果实和种子变大以利传播；人类活动现正扮演类似“生态系统工程师”角色，再度影响种子演化方向。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation.(6600多万年前，当世界上还有这些生态系统工程师的时候，它们通过砍伐树木和吃掉大量的植被，极大地改变了环境)”及第三段“Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start.(研究人员认为，这是因为在茂密的森林中，对光线的竞争刺激了树木长得更高更快，而从更大的种子生长出来的树木有一个良好的开端)”可知，恐龙灭绝后，森林变得茂密，对光线的竞争刺激树木长出更大的种子。与此相反，恐龙灭绝前，吃掉或破坏掉大量的树木，森林变得稀疏，光线充足，会导致植物竞争压力减小，种子变小。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段即划线词上文第三段“Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. (研究人员认为，这是因为在茂密的森林中，对光线的竞争刺激了树木长得更高更快，而从更大的种子生长出来的树木有一个良好的开端。此外还有一个好处，投资丰富且美味的果实还能提高它们被大型动物消化和散播的概率)”可知，此处在解释森林茂密对光线的竞争对植物进化的一种推动和刺激。motivation的动词motivate与上文stimulate意思相近。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer? Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones.(谁是最近代的影响种子和水果大小的人？人类。在人类定居导致选择性采伐的地方，林下植被的光照水平与恐龙林相似。然而，如果人类不再扮演恐龙的角色，而不是被其他巨型工程师所取代，我们可以预期森林将会变暗，随之而来的是光的竞赛重新开始，大种子的进化将重新获得比小种子更大的优势)”可知，近代，人类持续地对森林的砍伐破坏影响森林，从而影响种子的大小。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve (进化), thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research.(一项最新研究表明，地球上最大恐龙的灭绝可能在创造有利于水果进化的环境方面发挥了关键作用，从而间接影响了我们吃水果的祖先的进化)”并纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了恐龙及现代人类对森林的破坏影响了水果的大小，尤其曾经由于恐龙的原因促使植物长出更大的果实。本文中dinosaur和seed and fruit size是关键词。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of the most valuable investments you can make is in yourself. ____16____ In reality, these excuses often stem from undervaluing personal growth.

(然而，很多人推迟这样做，声称他们缺乏时间或金钱。)”中的“delay this”承接上文投资自己，“claiming they lack time or money”引出下文的借口。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Self-investment isn’t about grand gestures — it’s choosing actions that enrich your life, whether learning a skill, exploring a new place, or nurturing meaningful relationships. Even small efforts, like reading a book, spending time in nature, or attending a workshop, can spark significant growth. (自我投资不是什么伟大的举动 —— 它是选择能丰富你生活的行动，无论是学习一项技能、探索一个新地方，还是培养有意义的关系。即使是小小的努力，比如读一本书、花时间在大自然中或参加一个研讨会，也能引发显著的成长。)”可知，此处强调了自我投资的方式以及小努力也能带来成长。D选项“With this perspective, the process becomes straightforward. (有了这种观点，这个过程就变得简单明了了。)”中的“this perspective”指代上文对自我投资的看法，“the process becomes straightforward”说明明白了这些后自我投资的过程就简单了。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“To begin, start with simple and achievable steps.

They had been inseparable as kids, spending countless afternoons exploring the woods and building shelters together. But as they grew older, their paths began to separate. Liam’s growing fame as a brilliant painter, with his parents proudly displaying his artwork during the weekly Yard-Sale Day, made Jake feel left out. The admiration Liam received from the community only deepened Jake’s sense of loneliness. Though there had been no argument, the bond they once shared with each other seemed to fade. One sunny afternoon, as Jake was fixing his bike in the driveway, Liam approached him with an unexpected idea. “Hey, Jake! How about teaming up for the annual Kite Day competition this year?” Liam asked, his eyes shining with excitement. Jake looked up, surprised. “Us? Together? Are you sure?” he replied, doubt clear in his voice. “Of course You’re great at figuring out how things work, and I can handle the design. We’d make an unbeatable team,” Liam said confidently, extending his hand. His enthusiasm was hard to resist. After a moment’s hesitation, Jake shrugged(耸肩)and smiled. “Alright, why not? Let’s do it,” he said, shaking Liam’s hand. Liam’s smile widened, and he gave Jake a hearty high-five. In the weeks leading up to the Kite Day competition, the two friends threw themselves into the project. They spent hours thinking of ideas, drawing designs, and gathering materials. Liam’s artistic talent brought their kite to life with bright colors and detailed patterns, while Jake’s good understanding of how things fly ensured the kite would soar(高飞)effortlessly. Working side by side, the boys found themselves reconnecting. They laughed over old memories and shared stories about their dreams for the future. The tension that had once hung between them began to disappear. Together, they transformed humble materials into an amazing masterpiece — a kite shaped like a dragon uniquely detailed and painted in bright, eye-catching colors. 注意： (1)续写短文的词数应为150左右; (2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 The long-anticipated day finally arrived. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When their kite took flight, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The long-anticipated day finally arrived.
