Covered in robes of indigo, he passed through the streets of Timbuktu and continued out into the sand dunes (沙丘), just beyond the city’s western suburbs. Ali was a teenager when he first saw the city that would later become his home. “I couldn’t believe the lights!” he remembered. Members of his family still live a semi-nomadic (半游牧的) existence out in the desert. But when he became an adult, drought and the need to earn a living drove Ali into Timbuktu, where he set up a business as a guide for tourists who wanted to explore the Sahara. His heart remained in the desert even when he had to be in the city. He refused to get a fixed-line telephone in case he came to depend upon it. When he had no clients, he would escape to the desert, spending months at a time camping out, drinking tea with friends and sleeping under the stars. As a guide, Ali made friends from around the world, and he visited some in Europe. It was, to him, an alien world, just as Timbuktu remains for many around the globe. “The first time I was in Europe, I saw water just lying on the ground. Everything moved at a speed that was unthinkable in the Sahara. I thought “these people are crazy”. In the desert we have infinite time but no water,” he said. “In Europe, you have plenty of water but no time.” When travelers wanted to see more of the Sahara, Ali took them to Araouane, a sand-drowned town 270 km north of Timbuktu. And yet for the tourists who visited there, the town was undoubtedly more to it than that. There was something there that produced a feeling similar to excitement. It was the awe of vast skies and big horizons. 4. What did Ali do daily at sunset? A. He chatted with neighbors. B. He took a night walk. C. He took a photo of the sun. D. He bought some food in a store. 5. How did Ali feel when first seeing the city? A. Confused. B. Amazed. C. Frightened. D. Moved. 6. What can we learn about Ali from paragraph 2? A. He escaped from Sahara Desert with his friends. B. He explored the Sahara Desert on his own. C. He lived a semi-nomadic life with his wife. D. He established a travel company. 7. What does the underlined part “these people are crazy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. People in Europe are always busy with their life. B. People in Europe always let water running. C. People in Europe are curious about everything. D. People in Europe waste so much time. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了马里廷巴克图的Ali在沙漠与城市间的生活故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“As the sun neared the horizon, Ali began his nightly walk through the sandy streets of Timbuktu in Mali. (当太阳接近地平线时，Ali开始在马里廷巴克图的沙质街道上进行夜间散步)”可知，当太阳下山时，Ali开始在夜间的散步。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Ali was a teenager when he first saw the city that would later become his home. “I couldn’t believe the lights!” he remembered. (Ali第一次看到这座后来成为他家的城市时还是个十几岁的孩子。“我简直不敢相信那些灯光！”他回忆道）”可推测出，阿里第一次看到这座城市时，对城市的灯光感到惊讶。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“But when he became an adult, drought and the need to earn a living drove Ali into Timbuktu, where he set up a business as a guide for tourists who wanted to explore the Sahara. (但当他长大成人后，干旱和谋生的需要驱使Ali来到廷巴克图，在那里他创办了一家公司，为想探索撒哈拉沙漠的游客提供导游服务)”，可知，Ali来到城市后创办了一家为想探索撒哈拉沙漠的游客提供导游服务的公司。故选D项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The first time I was in Europe, I saw water just lying on the ground. Everything moved at a speed that was unthinkable in the Sahara.(我第一次到欧洲的时候，我看到水就在地上流淌。一切都以在撒哈拉沙漠中难以想象的速度运转)”和Ali说的话“In the desert we have infinite time but no water. (在沙漠里，我们有无限的时间却没有水)”以及“In Europe, you have plenty of water but no time. (在欧洲，你们有充足的水却没有时间)”可知，划线部分these people are crazyAli意味着“欧洲人生活节奏快，总是忙于生活”。故选A项。 C The Guardian (卫报) has updated its style guide to introduce terms that more accurately describe the environmental crises facing the world. Instead of “climate change”, the preferred terms are “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown” and “global heating” is favored over “global warming”, although the original terms are not banned. “We want to ensure that we are being scientifically precise, while also communicating clearly with readers on this very important issue,” said the editor-in-chief, Katharine Viner. “The phrase ‘climate change’, for example, sounds rather passive and gentle when what scientists are talking about is a disaster for people.” “Increasingly, climate scientists and organizations from the UN to the Met Office are changing their terms, and using stronger language to describe the situation we’re in,” she said. Other terms that have been updated, including the use of “wildlife” rather than “biodiversity”, “fish populations” instead of “fish stocks” and “climate science denier (否认气候变化者)” rather than “climate sceptic”. Earlier in May, Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who has inspired school strikes for climate around the globe, said: “Can we all now call it what it is: climate breakdown, climate crisis, climate emergency, ecological breakdown, ecological crisis and ecological emergency?” The update to the Guardian’s style guide follows the addition of the global carbon dioxide level to the Guardian’s daily weather pages. “Levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen so dramatically, which is symbolic of what human activity is doing to our climate,” said Viner in April. “People need reminding that the climate crisis is no longer a future problem-we need to tackle it now, and every day matters.” 8. Why is the Guardian changing the language it uses about the environment? A. To illustrate the world’s environment crises in a more precise way. B. To remove all the negative expressions concerning environment problems. C. To achieve more accurate description of the diverse world we live in. D. To make the terms about environment sound more academic. 9. In terms of the Guardian’s language changing in the field of environment, which of the following statement is true? A. Since the new terms about environment crises have been adopted, the original ones are all banned. B. “Climate crisis” as a stronger term helps to describe the real threat facing the world. C. Compared with “climate crisis”, “climate change” sounds more pessimistic and depressing. D. Global carbon dioxide level is added to the Guardian’s daily weather pages after the update of the style guide. 10. All the following are newly updated terms except ________. A. wildlife B. fish population C. biodiversity D. climate science denier 11. What was the primary purpose of Greta Thunberg by saying “Can we all now call it what it is: climate breakdown,... emergency”? A. To set a good example for teenagers as a well-behavior student. B. To convey Swedish schools’ willingness to listen to different voices from teenagers. C. To show it is urgent to update environment terms. D. To show how popular environment campaigns are among Sweden. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了《卫报》更新其风格指南，引入更准确描述全球环境危机的术语。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Guardian (卫报) has updated its style guide to introduce terms that more accurately describe the environmental crises facing the world.(《卫报》更新了其风格指南，引入了能更精准描述全球所面临环境危机的术语。)”可知，《卫报》改变其关于环境的语言是为了更准确地描述世界环境危机。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead of “climate change”, the preferred terms are “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown” and “global heating” is favored over “global warming”, although the original terms are not banned.(《卫报》不再使用“气候变化（climate change）”一词，而更倾向于使用“气候紧急状态、气候危机或气候崩溃（climate emergency, crisis or breakdown）”等表述；相较于“全球变暖（global warming）”，“全球变热（global heating）”更受青睐，不过原词汇并未被禁用。)”、第三段中“The phrase ‘climate change’, for example, sounds rather passive and gentle when what scientists are talking about is a disaster for people.(例如，‘气候变化’这个词听起来相当被动和温和，而科学家们所谈论的是对人类的一场灾难。)”可知，“气候危机”作为一个更强烈的术语，有助于描述世界面临的真正威胁。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Other terms that have been updated, including the use of “wildlife” rather than “biodiversity”, “fish populations” instead of “fish stocks” and “climate science denier(否认气候变化者)” rather than “climate sceptic”.(其他更新的术语包括：用 “野生物种”（wildlife）替代 “生物多样性”（biodiversity）、“鱼类种群”（fish populations）替代 “鱼类资源”（fish stocks），以及 “气候科学否认者”（climate science denier）替代 “气候怀疑论者”（climate sceptic）。)”可知，biodiversity不是新更新的术语。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Earlier in May, Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who has inspired school strikes for climate around the globe, said: “Can we all now call it what it is: climate breakdown, climate crisis, climate emergency, ecological breakdown, ecological crisis and ecological emergency?”(5月初，瑞典少女Greta Thunberg在全球范围内引发了学校气候罢课，她说：“我们现在能把它叫做气候崩溃、气候危机、气候紧急状态、生态崩溃、生态危机和生态紧急状态吗？”)”和最后一段中“The update to the Guardian’s style guide follows the addition of the global carbon dioxide level to the Guardian’s daily weather pages.(在《卫报》的每日天气页面上增加了全球二氧化碳水平之后，《卫报》的风格指南进行了更新。)”以及“People need reminding that the climate crisis is no longer a future problem-we need to tackle it now, and every day matters.(人们需要提醒，气候危机不再是一个未来的问题——我们现在需要解决它，每一天都很重要。)”可知，Greta Thunberg说的话的主要目的是表明更新环境术语的紧迫性。故选C。 D By examining tiny vessels (血管) inside a person’s eyes, doctors might one day be able to predict that person’s risk of early death, according to a new study. Past research had shown the retina (视网膜), light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye, as a possible indicator of a person’s biological age. The retina offers a unique, accessible “window” to evaluate underlying pathological (病理的) processes of some serious diseases that are associated with increased risks of death. In the new study, the researchers turned to a deep-learning technique that could predict a person’s risk of death by analyzing the biological age of the retina. Their deep-learning model a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence that’s modeled to learn similar to a human brain, analyzed more than 80,000 images of fundus (眼底) — the internal back surface of the eye that includes the retina. They obtained the images from nearly 47.000 people between the ages of 40 and 69, stored in the UK Biobank. To figure out whether their model was accurate, they first analyzed more than 19,000 fundus images taken from more than 1,100 participants who were in relatively good health. The idea was that the retinal biological ages of these people should be fairly similar to their chronological age (实际年龄). The model was fairly accurate in predicting retinal ages, with an accuracy of within 3.5 years to chronological ages. They then used the model to assess the remaining nearly 36,000 participants’ fundus photos collected across a span of 11 years. They found that 51 percent of the participants had a “retinal age gap” — the difference between biological and chronological age of more than 3 years, 28 percent had a gap of more than 5 years and 4.5 percent had a gap of more than 10 years. In other words, these participants had “older” eyes compared to their chronological age. Those who had larger age gaps had a 49-67 percent higher risk of death from causes other than cardiovascular disease or cancer. With every one year increase in the age gap, the risk of death increased by 2 percent for any cause and 3 percent for causes other than cardiovascular disease and cancer. 12. What can we know about the retina? A. It causes serious diseases. B. It helps to analyze pathological processes. C. It can diagnose some serious diseases. D. It improves people’s physical health. 13. How do researchers know the retinal age? A. By examining the nerve tissue. B. By studying the human brain. C. By checking the eyesight. D. By analyzing fundus images. 14. What percentage of the participants had the largest retinal age gap? A. 3.5%. B. 4.5%. C. 28%. D. 51%. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. A new study is conducted on tiny vessels. B. Image technology is used to predict diseases. C. Retinal age gaps may reveal risks of death. D A deep-learning on the retina is necessary. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一项新的研究表明通过分析人眼中的微小血管，特别是视网膜的生物年龄，医生可能有一天能够预测一个人的早逝风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The retina offers a unique, accessible “window” to evaluate underlying pathological processes of some serious diseases that are associated with increased risks of death.(视网膜提供了一个独特的、可接近的“窗口”，用于评估一些与死亡风险增加相关的严重疾病的潜在病理过程。)”可知，视网膜有助于分析病理过程。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their deep-learning model, a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence that’s modeled to learn similar to a human brain, analyzed more than 80,000 images of fundus — the internal back surface of the eye that includes the retina.(他们的深度学习模型是一种机器学习和人工智能模型，其学习方式类似于人脑，分析了8万多张眼底图像——眼底是眼睛内部的后表面，包括视网膜。)”可知，研究人员通过分析眼底图像来知道视网膜的年龄。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They found that 51 percent of the participants had a “retinal age gap” — the difference between biological and chronological age of more than 3 years, 28 percent had a gap of more than 5 years and 4.5 percent had a gap of more than 10 years.(他们发现，51%的参与者存在“视网膜年龄差距”——生物年龄和实际年龄之间的差距超过3年，28%的参与者差距超过5年，4.5%的参与者差距超过10年。)”可知，有4.5%的参与者视网膜年龄差距最大。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段提到“By examining tiny vessels inside a person’s eyes, doctors might one day be able to predict that person’s risk of early death, according to a new study.(根据一项新的研究，通过检查人眼中的微小血管，医生可能有一天能够预测一个人的早逝风险。)”以及文章内容可知，文章围绕这项研究展开，介绍了视网膜年龄差距与死亡风险之间的关系，由此可知，选项C“视网膜年龄差距可能揭示死亡风险”适合作为这篇文章的标题。故选C。 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。 How to Fall Asleep Faster: A Simple Guide Struggling to fall asleep is a common and frustrating experience. The good news is that by using proven relaxation techniques and adjusting your evening habits, you can effectively regulate your sleep schedule. ____16____ A highly effective method to try is the 4-7-8 breathing technique. This involves inhaling (吸气) quietly through your nose for a count of 4, holding your breath for 7 seconds, and there exhaling (呼气) completely through your mouth for 8 seconds. ____17____ This pattern of controlled breathing helps to calm your nervous system and slow your heartbeat, preparing you body for rest. If counting isn’t for you, practice guided imagery (引导性意象法) instead. Visualize a calming scene, like a quiet beach or a peaceful forest. ____18____ This mental escape can be just as effective as physical relaxation techniques. Adjusting your evening routine is also crucial. Taking a warm bath or shower at least an hour before bed is very beneficial. The subsequent drop in your body temperature as you move to a cooler bedroom is a powerful natural signal that helps to induce sleep. ____19____. ____20____ If you find yourself unable to sleep after 20 minutes, get up and read a print book. This is a calming activity that can reduce stress. It is vital to choose a physical book, as the blue light from electronic devices can interfere with your ability to fall asleep. Finally, for those nights when your mind is racing, write in a journal. Getting your worries out of your head and onto paper can provide a powerful sense of release, allowing you to let go of the day’s stress. With some consistent practice of these healthy habits, you can train your body and mind to fall asleep faster and enjoy a better night’s rest every single night. A. Repeat this cycle several times until you feel relaxed. B. This process works because your body associates cooling down with sleep time. C. Here are some practical strategies that can help you achieve this goal. D. The key is to focus on being present in that place and imagine it with rich sensory details to distract your mind from daily worries. E. However, if you’re still having trouble, there’s another approach you can try. F. This meditation technique helps distract you from daily stress. G. Therefore, creating the right environment is equally important for quality sleep. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. D 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文提供快速入睡的简单指南，包括4-7-8呼吸法、引导性意象法，调整晚间习惯（如睡前洗温水澡）、20分钟未入眠时读纸质书及写日记，坚持可改善睡眠。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Struggling to fall asleep is a common and frustrating experience. The good news is that by using proven relaxation techniques and adjusting your evening habits, you can effectively regulate your sleep schedule. (难以入睡是一种常见且令人沮丧的经历。但好消息是，通过运用有效的放松技巧并调整晚间习惯，你能够有效地调整自己的睡眠时间表)”可知，前文提出“通过放松技巧和调整晚间习惯可调节睡眠”，后文具体介绍多种方法。C项“以下是一些能帮助你实现这一目标的实用策略”承上启下，自然引出下文的具体建议，符合“总-分”结构逻辑。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“A highly effective method to try is the 4-7-8 breathing technique. This involves inhaling (吸气) quietly through your nose for a count of 4, holding your breath for 7 seconds, and there exhaling (呼气) completely through your mouth for 8 seconds.( 一种非常有效的尝试方法是“4-7-8呼吸法”。具体做法是：先通过鼻子缓慢吸气，持续4秒；然后屏住呼吸7秒；最后通过嘴巴用力呼气，持续8秒)”可知，本段详细介绍4-7-8呼吸法的具体操作，空格前描述了呼吸法的三个步骤，选项A中“Repeat this cycle”与前面的步骤描述形成连贯的动作顺序，补充说明了如何持续运用这个方法直到产生效果。A选项“重复这个循环数次，直到你感到放松为止”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“If counting isn’t for you, practice guided imagery (引导性意象法) instead. Visualize a calming scene, like a quiet beach or a peaceful forest.(如果你不喜欢计数的话，那就试试引导式想象吧。想象一个让你感到平静的场景，比如宁静的海滩或者宁静的森林)”可知，本段主要介绍引导性意象法，空格前告诉读者需要想象什么样的场景，选项D“关键在于全身心地投入到那个环境中，并通过丰富的感官细节来想象那个场景，以此来分散你的思绪，让你不再为日常的烦恼所困扰”则进一步解释引导性意象法的关键做法，是对前文内容的语意递进。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Adjusting your evening routine is also crucial. Taking a warm bath or shower at least an hour before bed is very beneficial. The subsequent drop in your body temperature as you move to a cooler bedroom is a powerful natural signal that helps to induce sleep.(调整你的晚间作息也很重要。在睡前至少一小时进行一次温暖的沐浴或淋浴是非常有益的。当你进入较凉爽的卧室后，体温的下降会形成一种强大的自然信号，有助于促进睡眠)”可知，本段解释热水澡帮助入睡的原理，空格前提到体温下降是诱发睡眠的自然信号，选项B中的“This process”指代体温变化过程，“cooling down”与前文“drop in your body temperature”形成词汇对应，并解释了其中的科学原理。B选项“这种现象之所以会发生，是因为你的身体会将降温与睡眠时间联系起来”最符合文章标题。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“If you find yourself unable to sleep after 20 minutes, get up and read a print book.

Ever since she was born, she was either feverish, coughing, sneezing or covered in spots. . . or at least, that was how she remembered it! Poor Wilma caught lots of diseases with long names and spent a lot of time in the hospital. “If being ill were a sport, I’d be a champion!” When she was five, Wilma caught something called polio, and it looked as if she might never get to play outside again. Wilma recovered from catching polio, but her left leg and foot were badly weakened by the disease. This made it difficult for her to walk. That meant she couldn’t go to nursery school or her first years of primary school like everyone else. It made her upset to see the other kids having fun outside. While the doctors treated her weak leg and she learned how to walk again, she had lessons at home. Wilma also had to take a fifty-mile bus ride with her mum twice a week to go to Meharry Medical College. The kind doctors and nurses at the college gave her exercises to strengthen her muscles. She had to wear a metal brace (支架) that supported her left leg. Using this, she could finally walk by herself and go to school with other kids. That sounded good, but the little girl really hated wearing it. She had to wear it with heavy shoes that made her stand out. “What will the other kids say? ” she asked her mum. “I don’t want to look different!” Her mother tried to cheer her up. “You won’t have to wear it forever dear. Just keep exercising and make your leg strong!” That’s what Wilma did! She made sure to do all the exercises the doctors gave her to make her leg better. It wasn’t easy, but she kept imagining how wonderful it would be to walk to school without the brace. 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。 When Wilma was twelve, the doctors decided that her leg was strong enough. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, she was invited to join her school’s track team. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When Wilma was twelve, the doctors decided that her leg was strong enough. They told her she no longer needed to wear the metal brace. Wilma was overjoyed! She took off the brace and shoes right away and felt the ground beneath her feet in a whole new way. With a big smile on her face, she started to run around the hospital room. From then on, she didn’t just walk to school; she ran. Her new-found freedom made her realize how much she loved moving her legs. She practiced running every day after school, feeling the wind in her hair and the power in her legs. Then, she was invited to join her school’s track team. At first, some of the other team members doubted her because of her past illness. But Wilma didn’t care. She trained harder than anyone else. During practice, she focused on every step, every movement. Her hard work paid off. In the first race she participated in, she ran so fast that she left others far behind. As time went by, she became a well-known runner in the school. Her story inspired not only her teammates but also all the students in the school. They learned that with determination and hard work, they could overcome any difficulty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Wilma自幼体弱多病，五岁患小儿麻痹症后左腿和脚受影响，需戴支架行走，她虽讨厌支架但坚持锻炼，期待恢复正常。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“当威尔玛十二岁时，医生判定她的腿已经足够强壮了。”可知，第一段可描写威尔玛摆脱支架后的喜悦，以及她开始积极地练习跑步，享受自由活动的快乐。 ② 由第二段首句内容“后来，她受邀加入了学校的田径队。”可知，第二段可描写威尔玛在田径队面临队友的质疑，但她努力训练，最终取得好成绩并激励他人。 2. 续写线索：摆脱支架——练习跑步——加入田径队——克服质疑——获得成功 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ① 取下：take off → remove ② 专注于：focus on → concentrate on ③ 参加：participate in → take part in 情绪类 ① 欣喜若狂：overjoyed → ecstatic ② 怀疑：doubt → suspect/be suspicious of 【点睛】[高分句型1] With a big smile on her face, she started to run around the hospital room.(运用了with的复合结构作伴随状语) [高分句型2] In the first race she participated in, she ran so fast that she left others far behind.(运用了省略关系代词的定语从句和so...that引导的结果状语从句) [高分句型3] As time went by, she became a well known runner in the school.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 扬大附中2025-2026学年第一学期期中测试 高二英语试卷 25.11 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：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。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.

Covered in robes of indigo, he passed through the streets of Timbuktu and continued out into the sand dunes (沙丘), just beyond the city’s western suburbs. Ali was a teenager when he first saw the city that would later become his home. “I couldn’t believe the lights!” he remembered. Members of his family still live a semi-nomadic (半游牧的) existence out in the desert. But when he became an adult, drought and the need to earn a living drove Ali into Timbuktu, where he set up a business as a guide for tourists who wanted to explore the Sahara. His heart remained in the desert even when he had to be in the city. He refused to get a fixed-line telephone in case he came to depend upon it. When he had no clients, he would escape to the desert, spending months at a time camping out, drinking tea with friends and sleeping under the stars. As a guide, Ali made friends from around the world, and he visited some in Europe. It was, to him, an alien world, just as Timbuktu remains for many around the globe. “The first time I was in Europe, I saw water just lying on the ground. Everything moved at a speed that was unthinkable in the Sahara. I thought “these people are crazy”. In the desert we have infinite time but no water,” he said. “In Europe, you have plenty of water but no time.” When travelers wanted to see more of the Sahara, Ali took them to Araouane, a sand-drowned town 270 km north of Timbuktu. And yet for the tourists who visited there, the town was undoubtedly more to it than that. There was something there that produced a feeling similar to excitement. It was the awe of vast skies and big horizons. 4. What did Ali do daily at sunset? A. He chatted with neighbors. B. He took a night walk. C. He took a photo of the sun. D.

C The Guardian (卫报) has updated its style guide to introduce terms that more accurately describe the environmental crises facing the world. Instead of “climate change”, the preferred terms are “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown” and “global heating” is favored over “global warming”, although the original terms are not banned. “We want to ensure that we are being scientifically precise, while also communicating clearly with readers on this very important issue,” said the editor-in-chief, Katharine Viner. “The phrase ‘climate change’, for example, sounds rather passive and gentle when what scientists are talking about is a disaster for people.” “Increasingly, climate scientists and organizations from the UN to the Met Office are changing their terms, and using stronger language to describe the situation we’re in,” she said. Other terms that have been updated, including the use of “wildlife” rather than “biodiversity”, “fish populations” instead of “fish stocks” and “climate science denier (否认气候变化者)” rather than “climate sceptic”. Earlier in May, Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who has inspired school strikes for climate around the globe, said: “Can we all now call it what it is: climate breakdown, climate crisis, climate emergency, ecological breakdown, ecological crisis and ecological emergency?” The update to the Guardian’s style guide follows the addition of the global carbon dioxide level to the Guardian’s daily weather pages. “Levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen so dramatically, which is symbolic of what human activity is doing to our climate,” said Viner in April. “People need reminding that the climate crisis is no longer a future problem-we need to tackle it now, and every day matters.” 8. Why is the Guardian changing the language it uses about the environment? A. To illustrate the world’s environment crises in a more precise way. B. To remove all the negative expressions concerning environment problems. C. To achieve more accurate description of the diverse world we live in. D. To make the terms about environment sound more academic. 9. In terms of the Guardian’s language changing in the field of environment, which of the following statement is true? A. Since the new terms about environment crises have been adopted, the original ones are all banned. B. “Climate crisis” as a stronger term helps to describe the real threat facing the world. C. Compared with “climate crisis”, “climate change” sounds more pessimistic and depressing. D. Global carbon dioxide level is added to the Guardian’s daily weather pages after the update of the style guide. 10. All the following are newly updated terms except ________. A. wildlife B. fish population C. biodiversity D. climate science denier 11. What was the primary purpose of Greta Thunberg by saying “Can we all now call it what it is: climate breakdown,... emergency”? A. To set a good example for teenagers as a well-behavior student. B. To convey Swedish schools’ willingness to listen to different voices from teenagers. C. To show it is urgent to update environment terms. D. To show how popular environment campaigns are among Sweden. D By examining tiny vessels (血管) inside a person’s eyes, doctors might one day be able to predict that person’s risk of early death, according to a new study. Past research had shown the retina (视网膜), light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye, as a possible indicator of a person’s biological age. The retina offers a unique, accessible “window” to evaluate underlying pathological (病理的) processes of some serious diseases that are associated with increased risks of death. In the new study, the researchers turned to a deep-learning technique that could predict a person’s risk of death by analyzing the biological age of the retina. Their deep-learning model, a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence that’s modeled to learn similar to a human brain, analyzed more than 80,000 images of fundus (眼底) — the internal back surface of the eye that includes the retina. They obtained the images from nearly 47.000 people between the ages of 40 and 69, stored in the UK Biobank. To figure out whether their model was accurate, they first analyzed more than 19,000 fundus images taken from more than 1,100 participants who were in relatively good health. The idea was that the retinal biological ages of these people should be fairly similar to their chronological age (实际年龄). The model was fairly accurate in predicting retinal ages, with an accuracy of within 3.5 years to chronological ages. They then used the model to assess the remaining nearly 36,000 participants’ fundus photos collected across a span of 11 years. They found that 51 percent of the participants had a “retinal age gap” — the difference between biological and chronological age of more than 3 years, 28 percent had a gap of more than 5 years and 4.5 percent had a gap of more than 10 years. In other words, these participants had “older” eyes compared to their chronological age. Those who had larger age gaps had a 49-67 percent higher risk of death from causes other than cardiovascular disease or cancer. With every one year increase in the age gap, the risk of death increased by 2 percent for any cause and 3 percent for causes other than cardiovascular disease and cancer. 12. What can we know about the retina? A. It causes serious diseases. B. It helps to analyze pathological processes. C. It can diagnose some serious diseases. D. It improves people’s physical health. 13. How do researchers know the retinal age? A. By examining the nerve tissue. B. By studying the human brain. C. By checking the eyesight. D. By analyzing fundus images. 14. What percentage of the participants had the largest retinal age gap? A. 3.5%. B. 4.5%. C. 28%. D. 51%. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. A new study is conducted on tiny vessels. B. Image technology is used to predict diseases. C. Retinal age gaps may reveal risks of death. D. A deep-learning on the retina is necessary. 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。 How to Fall Asleep Faster: A Simple Guide Struggling to fall asleep is a common and frustrating experience.

The only problem was, she got sick — a lot! Ever since she was born, she was either feverish, coughing, sneezing or covered in spots. . . or at least, that was how she remembered it! Poor Wilma caught lots of diseases with long names and spent a lot of time in the hospital. “If being ill were a sport, I’d be a champion!” When she was five, Wilma caught something called polio, and it looked as if she might never get to play outside again. Wilma recovered from catching polio, but her left leg and foot were badly weakened by the disease. This made it difficult for her to walk. That meant she couldn’t go to nursery school or her first years of primary school like everyone else. It made her upset to see the other kids having fun outside. While the doctors treated her weak leg and she learned how to walk again, she had lessons at home. Wilma also had to take a fifty-mile bus ride with her mum twice a week to go to Meharry Medical College. The kind doctors and nurses at the college gave her exercises to strengthen her muscles. She had to wear a metal brace (支架) that supported her left leg. Using this, she could finally walk by herself and go to school with other kids. That sounded good, but the little girl really hated wearing it. She had to wear it with heavy shoes that made her stand out. “What will the other kids say? ” she asked her mum. “I don’t want to look different!” Her mother tried to cheer her up. “You won’t have to wear it forever, dear. Just keep exercising and make your leg strong!” That’s what Wilma did! She made sure to do all the exercises the doctors gave her to make her leg better. It wasn’t easy, but she kept imagining how wonderful it would be to walk to school without the brace. 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。 When Wilma was twelve, the doctors decided that her leg was strong enough. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, she was invited to join her school’s track team. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
