B It’s a sunny afternoon, artist Maria Maea is surrounded by palm fronds (榈叶) growing in the corner of a parking lot. She was using the palm as material for mixed-media sculptures made of wire, dried plants and, often, casts of her family’s faces, which has been a routine of hers for nearly two years. Stepping into Maea’s backyard feels like being transported into her creative mind: mint grows in cracks of concrete, and a table decorated with seashells, photos and a mirror create a sort of platform, when inspiration is needed. Maea’s greatest inspiration is nature itself. She has an ability to see plant matter’s potential to create new worlds. “Palms are really common, but they are invisible. They’re decorative, but we don’t really see them as plants,” says Maea. The palm inspired her to use this highly abundant (富足的) but often ignored element, and recontextualize it. Maea taught herself to weave (编织) the palm fronds using a Samoan technique. The repetitive act became a meditation. “I know my parents are from Samoa, but our history has been kind of melted and framed by coming here. Weaving helps my body remember what my mind cannot.” Eventually, as she prepared for her solo show, Maea brought her family in to help weave. Her aunt explained how in Samoa the weaved palm has a variety of uses: a fork, a plate, a window to keep the rain out. As they weaved, the family cracked jokes, laughed and shared stories. For Maea, the process is more important than the outcome. By gathering her family and creating art together, they’ve filled memories and emotions into the objects themselves, they’ve bonded in new ways, and they’ve had an opportunity to showcase their creativity. 4. Maria Maea views the palm trees as______ A. useless artistry B. unimportant decoration C. invisible plants D. overlooked inspiration 5. What does the process of weaving palm fronds represent for Maea and her family? A. A means to compete with other artists in the community. B. A method to connect with their customs and create memories. C. A technique to improve their weaving skills for future projects. D. A way to earn money for her family by selling handmade items. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Maria Maea? A. Imaginative and reflective. B. Demanding and ambitious. C. Diligent and generous. D. Determined and humble. 7. What is the passage trying to tell us? A. Art is merely valuable when it’s created by professional artists. B. The outcome of art matters more than the process of creating it. C. Traditional techniques are never outdated and should be passed down. D. Creativity can be inspired and family’s bonds strengthened through nature. C Imagine virtually walking through a forest, where dinosaurs roamed. You notice a strange-looking fruit labeled“Taste a Stegosaurus’s (剑龙) Favorite Food!” So you grab a small cube (方块) attached to a plastic strip from your pocket, place it in your mouth, and instantly taste a sweet-and-sour tang. This futuristic experience might soon be possible, thanks to a new study published in Science Advances. Actually, the developers of “e-Taste” — a tiny cube measuring 15 millimeters on each side and filled with electric sensors — aim to add taste to the available repertoire (技能) of the virtual senses. For users, the way e-Taste works is simple. You hold the strip in your mouth, with the cube hanging outside. When the sensors inside the cube detect a virtual food object, e-Taste releases chemicals that simulate five tastes — salty, sour, sweet, bitter, and umami — without requiring you to actually eat anything. Inside the cube are refillable packs of liquid chemicals, combined in different amounts to produce specific tastes. Taste in virtual reality has been underexplored because “taste is not just taste-it comes with other stuff like smell and texture,” says study co-author Yizhen Jia, an engineer at Ohio State University. While e-Taste cannot yet replicate smell or texture, Jia and his team are working to explore ways to include those elements. “We have a more advanced design in progress,” he says, “and another project addressing smell.” The team is confident in their progress, as e-Taste demonstrates the ability to mimic taste in a tiny, flexible device. e-Taste represents a significant advance in biomimetics, the field of creating artificial copies of natural systems to solve human problems, says Tae-il Kim, a bioengineer at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea. One important objective of bioengineering is to develop technologies that integrate perfectly with our bodies, Kim explains. For example, e-Taste’s concepts-imitating the tongue’s sensory functions and quantifying (量化) taste chemically, could have medical applications, such as wearable devices for daily health checks. Such devices might stimulate the tongue to detect sensory processing issues in the brain. While these applications are still speculative, Kim notes that bioengineers aim not only to replicate nature but also to understand how it works. “The goal is to create technology people need, like improving accessibility,” he says. “It’s part of a long-term exploration.” 8. What do we know about e-Taste from the first two paragraphs? A. Its products have already been launched on the market B. It can capture food’s smell and release it in the mouth. C. It produces tastes by mixing chemicals from the cube. D. It involves complicated and non-user-friendly procedures. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. The challenges of replicating smell and texture in virtual reality. B. The barriers and ongoing efforts in the development of e-Taste. C. The function of multi-senses in virtual reality experiences. D. The role of engineers in advancing virtual reality technology. 10. What does the underlined word “biomimetics” in paragragh 4 probably mean? A. The scientific study of the normal functions of all living things. B. The branch of dealing with large databases of biochemical information. C. The field of generating artificial mechanisms which mimic natural ones. D. The recreation of existing natural biological systems for useful purposes. 11. What can be inferred about the future of e-Taste? A. It has potential applications in medical fields. B. It will be mainly used for entertainment purposes. C. It will replace traditional methods of tasting food. D. It can be accessible in a not-too-distant future. D Mapping explorers of Wikipedia (维基百科) rabbit holes has revealed three different styles of human curiosity: the “busybody”, the “hunter”, and the “dancer”. Wikipedia, as the world’s largest online encyclopedia, is now helping social scientists, in their study, deepen the definition of curiosity by tracing how searchers move among topics and lose themselves in these Wiki rabbit holes. In Wikipedia, a busybody traces a winding route through many often distantly related topics. A hunter, in contrast, searches with sustained focus, moving among a relatively small number of closely related articles. A dancer links together highly distinct topics to try to combine into new ideas. “Curiosity actually works by connecting pieces of information... to stuff that we already know,” says University of Pennsylvania network scientist Dani Bassett. The team tracked more than 482,000 people using Wikipedia’s mobile app in 50 countries or territories and 14 languages, and charted these users’ paths using “knowledge networks” of connected information, which present how closely one search topic is related to another. Beyond just mapping the connections, they linked curiosity styles to indicators of well-being, inequality, and other measures. In countries with higher education levels and greater gender equality, people browsed (浏览) more like busybodies. In countries with lower scores on these variables, people browsed like hunters. Bassett assumes that in countries with less equality, there may be a restriction of knowledge production that pushes people more toward this intense focus. Dancer patterns, more recently confirmed, were excluded. Princeton University psychologist Erik Nook praised the study for its “astonishingly broad” range. The team, he says, brought together specialized knowledge from a range of fields to reveal a host of insights into human behavior. The seeds of this work were actually planted in 2016 when Bassett and Perry Zurn, a professor of philosophy, noticed that creativity was well-studied, but curiosity, its necessary condition, was not. After extensively studying 2,000 years of Western literature, Zurn identified various curiosity styles, including the three mentioned. Wikipedia then served as a real-world test bed to confirm this classification. 12. What is the purpose of the study by social scientists? A. To better understand curiosity. B. To find different curiosity styles. C. To promote Wikipedia’s mobile app. D. To analyse the education differences. 13. How may a “hunter” search on Wikipedia? A. From “cat” to “coffee” to “cat cafe”. B. From “cat” to “cat diet” to “cat sleep”. C. From “cat” to “chemicals” to “universe”. D. From “cat” to “Egyptian cat” to “ancient Egypt”. 14. What kind of people act more like busybodies? A. People with better education. B. People with greater happiness. C. People from less equal society. D. People from less developed nations. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. A new research method. B. The origin of the research. C. Previous research findings. D. Limitations of prior research. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 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。 Proven Strategies to Stop Negative Thinking Bad thoughts can be a persistent, invisible weight that you carry from day to day. ___16___ In this guide, we’ll introduce you to helpful techniques with expert motivational and de-stressing tips.

They were divided into two teams: the Sunnysiders and the Shadysiders, with five boys on each team. Andy was on the Sunnysiders. They lost last year, so they were desperate to win this time. But Andy knew his short legs made it hard for him to skate fast. One day, Andy was greeted by a pleasant “Hello” as he was putting on his roller-skates. He looked up and saw his new neighbor, Francis. “Hello! ” he replied cheerfully, noticing his neighbor’s long legs. “Wanna skate with me? Look at your long legs! Just the right kind to make you a good skater.” “I’d love to. You know, I’m really good at roller skating and I used to help my team win.” Francis said, his tone now heavy with sadness. “But I lost my roller skates and my mom just cannot afford to buy me another pair.” Andy thought it was a shame for Francis. As a new comer, there were undoubtedly many moments when he must have felt lonely. Andy thought to himself, wondering what he could do for Francis. But he had to say goodbye in a hurry since the team were meeting in the open space on the corner to talk over some plans. When talking to the team captain, Andy suggested adding another boy to their team, Francis. But the captain said “No” as the team knew nothing about him. Besides, the Shadysiders wouldn’t let them take on an extra player. In the following days, Andy practiced very hard with his team. Then came the day before the race when he saw Francis on the sidewalk, watching them skate past, his eyes filled with a sense of loss. Somehow it upset Andy, and his desire to help his new neighbor resurfaced. Then he thought of a way that could not only help his team win, but help Francis fit in. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 He rushed to Francis, excited to tell him his plan. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, the race began as scheduled. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 衡阳市八中2025年高考适应性练习卷（二） 英语卷 请注意：考试时间120分钟，满分150分。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

A virtual UN Tour plus Online Briefing session is 90-120 minutes long.(虚拟游览结束后，你的团体将有机会与联合国专家进行互动交流。交流主题涵盖维和行动到联合国裁军工作等多个方面。一次虚拟的联合国参观活动加上在线简报会时长为90至120分钟)”可知，游客从这次游览中可以了解到联合国总部的内部装饰，关于维和行动的互动简报和联合国应对全球问题的艰巨职责，没有提及联合国总部的建筑元素。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Requests should be made a minimum of 4 weeks in advance.(请至少提前四周提出申请)”可知，D选项“申请参观活动可以提前一个月预订”正确。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Price and Payment部分“For a combination session (Virtual Tour + Online Briefing), $160 will be added to the price chart above.(对于组合服务（虚拟游览 + 在线简报），上述价格表中的费用将额外增加160美元)”以及“31 to 50 people — $370.00；51 to 70 people — $550.00；71 to 90 people — $730.00；91 to 100 people — $910.00(31 至 50 人——370 美元；51 至 70 人——550 美元；71 至 90 人——730 美元；91 至 100 人——910 美元)”及“Credit Card payment ONLY: We accept all major credit cards for payment (a 10% online credit card fee will apply).(仅支持信用卡支付：我们接受所有主流信用卡付款（将收取10%的在线信用卡手续费）)”可知，人数上限100人的虚拟游览最高费用为$910，因此组合项目基础费用为$910 + $160 = $1070；加收10%手续费后，总费用为$1070 × 1.1 = $1177，最接近1200美元。故选B。 B It’s a sunny afternoon, artist Maria Maea is surrounded by palm fronds (榈叶) growing in the corner of a parking lot. She was using the palm as material for mixed-media sculptures made of wire, dried plants and, often, casts of her family’s faces, which has been a routine of hers for nearly two years. Stepping into Maea’s backyard feels like being transported into her creative mind: mint grows in cracks of concrete, and a table decorated with seashells, photos and a mirror create a sort of platform, when inspiration is needed. Maea’s greatest inspiration is nature itself. She has an ability to see plant matter’s potential to create new worlds. “Palms are really common, but they are invisible. They’re decorative, but we don’t really see them as plants,” says Maea. The palm inspired her to use this highly abundant (富足) but often ignored element, and recontextualize it. Maea taught herself to weave (编织) the palm fronds using a Samoan technique. The repetitive act became a meditation. “I know my parents are from Samoa, but our history has been kind of melted and framed by coming here. Weaving helps my body remember what my mind cannot.” Eventually, as she prepared for her solo show, Maea brought her family in to help weave. Her aunt explained how in Samoa the weaved palm has a variety of uses: a fork, a plate, a window to keep the rain out. As they weaved, the family cracked jokes, laughed and shared stories. For Maea, the process is more important than the outcome. By gathering her family and creating art together, they’ve filled memories and emotions into the objects themselves, they’ve bonded in new ways, and they’ve had an opportunity to showcase their creativity. 4. Maria Maea views the palm trees as______ A. useless artistry B. unimportant decoration C. invisible plants D. overlooked inspiration 5. What does the process of weaving palm fronds represent for Maea and her family? A. A means to compete with other artists in the community. B. A method to connect with their customs and create memories. C. A technique to improve their weaving skills for future projects. D. A way to earn money for her family by selling handmade items. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Maria Maea? A. Imaginative and reflective. B. Demanding and ambitious. C. Diligent and generous. D. Determined and humble. 7. What is the passage trying to tell us? A. Art is merely valuable when it’s created by professional artists. B. The outcome of art matters more than the process of creating it. C. Traditional techniques are never outdated and should be passed down. D. Creativity can be inspired and family’s bonds strengthened through nature. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7.

The palm inspired her to use this highly abundant (富足的) but often ignored element, and recontextualize it.(“棕榈树其实很常见，但它们是隐形的。它们具有装饰性，但我们通常并不将其视为植物。”梅亚说道。棕榈树激发了她运用这种极为常见却常常被忽视的元素，并对其进行重新诠释)”可知，玛丽亚·梅亚将棕榈树视为被忽视的灵感源泉。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I know my parents are from Samoa, but our history has been kind of melted and framed by coming here. Weaving helps my body remember what my mind cannot.(我知道我的父母来自萨摩亚，但我们的经历在来到这里之后变得有些模糊和被重新诠释了。编织活动能帮助我的身体记住那些我的头脑无法记住的东西)”以及第四段“Eventually, as she prepared for her solo show, Maea brought her family in to help weave. Her aunt explained how in Samoa the weaved palm has a variety of uses: a fork, a plate, a window to keep the rain out. As they weaved, the family cracked jokes, laughed and shared stories.(最终，在为个人展览做准备时，玛丽亚邀请家人一起参与编织。她的阿姨解释说，在萨摩亚，编织的棕榈叶有多种用途：可以当叉子、盘子，还可以做成挡雨的窗。在编织的过程中，一家人说着笑话、大笑并分享着故事)”可知，对于玛丽亚及其家人来说，编织棕榈叶的过程是一种与他们的传统相连接并创造美好回忆的方式。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Palms are really common, but they are invisible. They’re decorative, but we don’t really see them as plants,” says Maea. The palm inspired her to use this highly abundant (富足的) but often ignored element, and recontextualize it.(“棕榈树其实很常见，但它们是隐形的。它们具有装饰性，但我们通常并不将其视为植物。”梅亚说道。棕榈树激发了她运用这种极为常见却常常被忽视的元素，并对其进行重新诠释)”以及第三段“I know my parents are from Samoa, but our history has been kind of melted and framed by coming here.

You notice a strange-looking fruit labeled“Taste a Stegosaurus’s (剑龙) Favorite Food!” So you grab a small cube (方块) attached to a plastic strip from your pocket, place it in your mouth, and instantly taste a sweet-and-sour tang. This futuristic experience might soon be possible, thanks to a new study published in Science Advances. Actually, the developers of “e-Taste” — a tiny cube measuring 15 millimeters on each side and filled with electric sensors — aim to add taste to the available repertoire (技能) of the virtual senses. For users, the way e-Taste works is simple. You hold the strip in your mouth, with the cube hanging outside. When the sensors inside the cube detect a virtual food object, e-Taste releases chemicals that simulate five tastes — salty, sour, sweet, bitter, and umami — without requiring you to actually eat anything. Inside the cube are refillable packs of liquid chemicals, combined in different amounts to produce specific tastes. Taste in virtual reality has been underexplored because “taste is not just taste-it comes with other stuff like smell and texture,” says study co-author Yizhen Jia, an engineer at Ohio State University. While e-Taste cannot yet replicate smell or texture, Jia and his team are working to explore ways to include those elements. “We have a more advanced design in progress,” he says, “and another project addressing smell.” The team is confident in their progress, as e-Taste demonstrates the ability to mimic taste in a tiny, flexible device. e-Taste represents a significant advance in biomimetics, the field of creating artificial copies of natural systems to solve human problems, says Tae-il Kim, a bioengineer at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea. One important objective of bioengineering is to develop technologies that integrate perfectly with our bodies, Kim explains. For example, e-Taste’s concepts-imitating the tongue’s sensory functions and quantifying (量化) taste chemically, could have medical applications, such as wearable devices for daily health checks. Such devices might stimulate the tongue to detect sensory processing issues in the brain. While these applications are still speculative, Kim notes that bioengineers aim not only to replicate nature but also to understand how it works. “The goal is to create technology people need, like improving accessibility,” he says. “It’s part of a long-term exploration.” 8. What do we know about e-Taste from the first two paragraphs? A. Its products have already been launched on the market B. It can capture food’s smell and release it in the mouth. C. It produces tastes by mixing chemicals from the cube. D. It involves complicated and non-user-friendly procedures. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. The challenges of replicating smell and texture in virtual reality. B. The barriers and ongoing efforts in the development of e-Taste. C. The function of multi-senses in virtual reality experiences. D. The role of engineers in advancing virtual reality technology. 10. What does the underlined word “biomimetics” in paragragh 4 probably mean? A. The scientific study of the normal functions of all living things. B. The branch of dealing with large databases of biochemical information. C. The field of generating artificial mechanisms which mimic natural ones. D. The recreation of existing natural biological systems for useful purposes. 11. What can be inferred about the future of e-Taste? A. It has potential applications in medical fields. B. It will be mainly used for entertainment purposes. C. It will replace traditional methods of tasting food. D. It can be accessible in a not-too-distant future. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一款15毫米的e-Taste设备可通过释放化学物质模拟五种味觉，助力虚拟现实味觉体验；其研发存局限但有进阶计划，还具医疗等潜在应用价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the sensors inside the cube detect a virtual food object, e-Taste releases chemicals that simulate five tastes — salty, sour, sweet, bitter, and umami — without requiring you to actually eat anything. Inside the cube are refillable packs of liquid chemicals, combined in different amounts to produce specific tastes.(当立方体内的传感器检测到虚拟食物物体时，电子味觉装置会释放出能模拟五种味道（咸、酸、甜、苦和鲜味）的化学物质，而无需你实际进食任何食物。立方体内有可重复使用的液体化学物质包，这些物质以不同的比例混合，可以产生特定的味道)”可知，电子味觉器通过将立方体中的化学物质混合来产生味道。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Taste in virtual reality has been underexplored because “taste is not just taste-it comes with other stuff like smell and texture,” says study co-author Yizhen Jia, an engineer at Ohio State University. While e-Taste cannot yet replicate smell or texture, Jia and his team are working to explore ways to include those elements. “We have a more advanced design in progress,” he says, “and another project addressing smell.” The team is confident in their progress, as e-Taste demonstrates the ability to mimic taste in a tiny, flexible device. (虚拟现实领域的“味觉”研究一直未得到充分重视，因为“味觉不仅仅是味觉——它还包含诸如气味和质地等其他元素。”该研究的合著者、俄亥俄州立大学的工程师伊泽恩·贾说道。虽然电子味觉目前还无法复制气味或质地，但贾和他的团队正在努力探索将这些元素纳入其中的方法。“我们正在研发更先进的设计，”他说，“还有一个项目是关于气味的。”该团队对他们的进展充满信心，因为电子味觉已经证明了其能够在小巧、灵活的设备中模拟味觉的能力)”可知，第三段主要论述的是电子味觉技术发展过程中的障碍及持续努力。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the field of creating artificial copies of natural systems to solve human problems(通过创造自然系统的人工复制品以解决人类问题的领域)”可知，后文“biomimetics”的解释为 “创造自然系统的人工复制品以解决人类问题的领域”，故划线词意思是“生成模仿自然机制的人造机制的领域”。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For example, e-Taste’s concepts-imitating the tongue’s sensory functions and quantifying taste chemically could have medical applications, such as wearable devices for daily health checks. Such devices might stimulate the tongue to detect sensory processing issues in the brain.(例如，e-Taste 的理念——模仿舌头的感知功能并以化学方式量化味觉——可能具有医疗应用价值，比如可用于日常健康检查的可穿戴设备。这类设备可能会刺激舌头，以检测大脑中的感知处理问题)”可知，电子味觉技术在医疗领域有潜在的应用价值。故选A。 D Mapping explorers of Wikipedia (维基百科) rabbit holes has revealed three different styles of human curiosity: the “busybody”, the “hunter”, and the “dancer”. Wikipedia, as the world’s largest online encyclopedia, is now helping social scientists, in their study, deepen the definition of curiosity by tracing how searchers move among topics and lose themselves in these Wiki rabbit holes. In Wikipedia, a busybody traces a winding route through many often distantly related topics. A hunter, in contrast, searches with sustained focus, moving among a relatively small number of closely related articles. A dancer links together highly distinct topics to try to combine into new ideas. “Curiosity actually works by connecting pieces of information... to stuff that we already know,” says University of Pennsylvania network scientist Dani Bassett. The team tracked more than 482,000 people using Wikipedia’s mobile app in 50 countries or territories and 14 languages, and charted these users’ paths using “knowledge networks” of connected information, which present how closely one search topic is related to another. Beyond just mapping the connections, they linked curiosity styles to indicators of well-being, inequality, and other measures. In countries with higher education levels and greater gender equality, people browsed (浏览) more like busybodies. In countries with lower scores on these variables, people browsed like hunters. Bassett assumes that in countries with less equality, there may be a restriction of knowledge production that pushes people more toward this intense focus. Dancer patterns, more recently confirmed, were excluded. Princeton University psychologist Erik Nook praised the study for its “astonishingly broad” range. The team, he says, brought together specialized knowledge from a range of fields to reveal a host of insights into human behavior. The seeds of this work were actually planted in 2016 when Bassett and Perry Zurn, a professor of philosophy, noticed that creativity was well-studied, but curiosity, its necessary condition, was not. After extensively studying 2,000 years of Western literature, Zurn identified various curiosity styles, including the three mentioned. Wikipedia then served as a real-world test bed to confirm this classification. 12. What is the purpose of the study by social scientists? A. To better understand curiosity. B. To find different curiosity styles. C. To promote Wikipedia’s mobile app. D. To analyse the education differences. 13. How may a “hunter” search on Wikipedia? A From “cat” to “coffee” to “cat cafe”. B. From “cat” to “cat diet” to “cat sleep”. C. From “cat” to “chemicals” to “universe”. D. From “cat” to “Egyptian cat” to “ancient Egypt”. 14. What kind of people act more like busybodies? A. People with better education. B. People with greater happiness. C. People from less equal society. D. People from less developed nations. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. A new research method. B. The origin of the research. C. Previous research findings. D. Limitations of prior research. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究通过维基百科揭示好奇风格及相关关联。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Wikipedia, as the world’s largest online encyclopedia, is now helping social scientists, in their study, deepen the definition of curiosity by tracing how searchers move among topics and lose themselves in these Wiki rabbit holes.(作为世界上最大的在线百科全书，维基百科现在正在帮助社会科学家在他们的研究中，通过追踪搜索者如何在主题之间移动，并在“维基迷宫”中迷失自我，来加深好奇心的定义)” 可知，社会科学家研究的目的是通过追踪维基百科用户的搜索路径，加深对好奇心的定义，即更好地理解好奇心。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A hunter, in contrast, searches with sustained focus, moving among a relatively small number of closely related articles.(相比之下，“猎人”则是持续专注地搜索，在数量相对较少的密切相关的文章中移动)”可知，“猎人”式搜索者会持续专注，在相对少量紧密相关的文章间移动。A选项从“猫”到“咖啡”再到“猫咪咖啡馆”，“猫”与“咖啡”关系不紧密；C选项从“猫”到“化学物质”再到“宇宙”，这些主题关联度低；D选项从 “猫” 到“埃及猫”再到“古埃及”，“古埃及”相对“猫”和“埃及猫”关联稍远。B选项从“猫”到“猫的饮食”再到“猫的睡眠”，都是围绕“猫”的紧密相关主题，符合“猎人”的搜索风格。所以选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“In countries with higher education levels and greater gender equality, people browsed (浏览) more like busybodies.(在教育水平更高、性别更平等的国家，人们的浏览行为更倾向于像爱管闲事的人)”可知，教育水平较高的人浏览行为更像爱管闲事的人。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。最后一段“The seeds of this work were actually planted in 2016 when Bassett and Perry Zurn, a professor of philosophy, noticed that creativity was well-studied, but curiosity, its necessary condition, was not. After extensively studying 2,000 years of Western literature, Zurn identified various curiosity styles, including the three mentioned. Wikipedia then served as a real-world test bed to confirm this classification.(这项研究的种子实际上是在2016年种下的，当时Bassett和Perry Zurn注意到，创造力得到了充分的研究，但好奇心作为创造力的必要条件却没有得到充分的研究。在广泛研究了2000年的西方文学之后，祖恩发现了各种各样的好奇风格，包括上面提到的三种。然后，维基百科作为一个真实世界的试验台来证实这种分类)”讲述了这项研究的种子在 2016 年就已种下，当时Bassett和Perry Zurn注意到好奇心研究不足，在研究西方文学后确定了各种好奇心风格，之后维基百科成为验证分类的现实测试平台，即主要说的是该研究的起源。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 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。 Proven Strategies to Stop Negative Thinking Bad thoughts can be a persistent, invisible weight that you carry from day to day. ___16___ In this guide, we’ll introduce you to helpful techniques with expert motivational and de-stressing tips.

I’m writing to share a hot educational reform in China — high schools now implement a double day off on weekends.

They were divided into two teams: the Sunnysiders and the Shadysiders, with five boys on each team. Andy was on the Sunnysiders. They lost last year, so they were desperate to win this time. But Andy knew his short legs made it hard for him to skate fast. One day, Andy was greeted by a pleasant “Hello” as he was putting on his roller-skates. He looked up and saw his new neighbor, Francis. “Hello! ” he replied cheerfully, noticing his neighbor’s long legs. “Wanna skate with me? Look at your long legs! Just the right kind to make you a good skater.” “I’d love to. You know, I’m really good at roller skating and I used to help my team win.” Francis said, his tone now heavy with sadness. “But I lost my roller skates and my mom just cannot afford to buy me another pair.” Andy thought it was a shame for Francis. As a new comer, there were undoubtedly many moments when he must have felt lonely. Andy thought to himself, wondering what he could do for Francis. But he had to say goodbye in a hurry since the team were meeting in the open space on the corner to talk over some plans. When talking to the team captain, Andy suggested adding another boy to their team, Francis. But the captain said “No” as the team knew nothing about him. Besides, the Shadysiders wouldn’t let them take on an extra player. In the following days, Andy practiced very hard with his team. Then came the day before the race when he saw Francis on the sidewalk, watching them skate past, his eyes filled with a sense of loss. Somehow it upset Andy, and his desire to help his new neighbor resurfaced. Then he thought of a way that could not only help his team win, but help Francis fit in. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 He rushed to Francis, excited to tell him his plan. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, the race began as scheduled. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He rushed to Francis, excited to tell him his plan. “Francis, you can use my skates in the race tomorrow! ” Andy yelled, eyes shining with hope. Francis hesitated. Noticing that, Andy explained that having him on their team would not only boost their chances of winning but also help him make more friends. Eventually, Francis put on the roller-skates and skated around, his talent instantly impressing the captain who was nearby. Struck by Francis’ excellent skills, the captain agreed to include the new boy. At that moment, Andy felt a touch of emptiness for giving up his own chance, but a surge of excitement for the plan as well. The next day, the race began as scheduled. Francis, wearing Andy’s skates, stood at the starting line, looking determined, while Andy, from the sidelines, felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness. The race was intense, but Francis’ excellent skating skills helped the Sunnysiders finally win the race. Once the race was finished, Francis, now part of the team, skated over to Andy with the others. Together, they lifted Andy onto their shoulders, celebrating not just the victory but also the newfound friendships. Cheers filled the air, and Andy experienced a swell of pride and a profound sense of accomplishment for the success of his friend and the team. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了街区里的男孩们下周六要进行滑旱冰比赛。他们被分成两队：Sunnysiders 和 Shadysiders，每队有五个男孩。安迪是 Sunnysiders 乐队的成员。去年他们输了，所以这次他们渴望获胜。但安迪知道自己短腿让他很难滑得快，一天他看到了邻居弗朗西斯很有滑行天赋，于是让他代替自己参加比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他冲向弗朗西斯，兴奋地告诉他他的计划。”可知，第一段可描安迪让弗朗西斯代替自己去比赛，队长看到弗朗西斯的表现后同意他比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，比赛如期开始。”可知，第二段可描写弗朗西斯表现很好，帮助团队赢得了比赛。 2.续写线索：安迪告诉弗朗西斯代替自己参加比赛——穿上溜冰鞋——滑行了一圈，给队长留下了深刻的印象——同意弗朗西斯代替安迪比赛——安迪感到紧张和期盼——弗朗西斯表现好，团队赢得比赛——欢呼 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：yell/shout ②增加：boost/enhance ③给人印象深刻：impress/make an impression on 情绪类 ①空虚：emptiness  /void ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] Andy yelled, eyes shining with hope.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Noticing that, Andy explained that having him on their team would not only boost their chances of winning but also help him make more friends. （由现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3]Eventually, Francis put on the roller-skates and skated around, his talent instantly impressing the captain who was nearby. （who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
