A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍伦敦4种有趣且低成本的活动，包括历史店铺午餐、博物馆夜场、民谣欣赏和古风车参观，满足预算有限游客的游玩需求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Time Travel at Lunch, from around, £5部分中的“This shop, opened in 1900 and still run by the same family, makes a wide variety of sandwiches and light lunches.(这家商店于1900年开业，至今仍由同一家族经营，供应各种各样的三明治和轻便午餐。)”可知，Paul Rothe & Son的特别之处在于自1900年起就由同一家族经营。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Explore Museums After Dark, for FREE!部分中的“You can enjoy activities inspired by their exhibitions or even dance to DJ sets.(你可以享受受展览启发的活动，甚至可以跟着DJ的音乐跳舞。)”可知，游客在科学博物馆的夜场活动中可以参与音乐相关活动。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Enjoy English Folk Songs, £4-£5部分中的“If you’re feeling brave and sign up to perform, you get a £1 discount on entry.(如果你足够勇敢并报名表演，入场费可以优惠1英镑。)”可知，游客通过在活动中表演的方式可以省钱。故选A项。 B Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slammed it shut for the last time. I’m wandering in the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and chatting with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up. It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps (渗透) into my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier. If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the ending count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prizewinner Daniel Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever trouble and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. Don’t mistake all moments as equal in significance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting. 4. According to the peak-end rule, how do people usually judge past experiences? A. By calculating the total time spent. B. By remembering every detail equally. C. By comparing them with others’ experiences. D. By focusing on the most extreme and final moments. 5. How did the author apply the peak-end rule in her own life? A. She avoided stressful situations entirely. B. She encouraged her children to study harder before exams. C. She made sure her children had a calm and pleasant bedtime. D. She organized more activities for her children during the day. 6. Why does the author mention Pete Carroll’s words in the last paragraph? A. To encourage readers to pay attention to endings. B. To explain why desserts are more enjoyable. C. To criticize people’s unhealthy eating habits. D. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports. 7. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage? A. The best ways to reduce stress before bedtime. B. The peak-end rule and its influence on memory. C. The importance of following school rules strictly. D. How to create unforgettable high school memories. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过回忆高中最后一天的美好记忆，引出“峰终定律”，阐述了该定律对人类记忆的影响，并结合自身经历说明如何运用这一定律，强调精心设计“结尾” 的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段“Nobel Prizewinner Daniel Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. (诺贝尔奖得主丹尼尔·卡尼曼发现了这一现象，并将其称为“峰终定律”，它表明我们对过去经历的判断很大程度上基于其最极端的时刻和结束时刻。)”由此可知，根据“峰终定律”，人们通常通过关注最极端和最后的时刻来判断过去的经历。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever trouble and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. (几年前，当我的女儿还小，每天晚上都想听一个睡前故事时，我就利用了“峰终定律”。我记得我当时想，无论那天发生了什么麻烦和压力，我都能让最后的时刻变得有意义。我可以平静地结束谈话，表现得像个耐心的妈妈，几个小时前我没能做到。)”由此可推知，作者在生活中应用“峰终定律”是确保她的孩子们有一个平静愉快的睡前时光。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Do organize endings carefully. As Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting. (一定要仔细组织好结尾。正如皮特·卡罗尔所说：坚强地完成。最后的印象尤其持久。)”由此可推知，作者在最后一段提到皮特·卡罗尔的话是为了鼓励读者注意结尾。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段“Nobel Prizewinner Daniel Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. (诺贝尔奖得主丹尼尔·卡尼曼发现了这一现象，并将其称为“峰终定律”，它表明我们对过去经历的判断很大程度上基于其最极端的时刻和结束时刻。)”可知，本文主要介绍了“峰终定律”，即人们对过去经历的判断很大程度上基于其最极端的时刻和结束时刻，并且作者结合自身经历说明如何运用这一定律，强调精心设计“结尾” 的重要性。故B项“峰终定律及其对记忆的影响”最符合文章主旨。故选B项。 C Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm microrobot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks— not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood. What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones. 8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1? A. To lead into the topic. B. To explain a common phenomenon. C. To introduce a famous scientist. D. To criticize a new study. 9. What can we know about Zhao’s micro-robot? A. It usually increases the clot size. B. It prevents clots from forming again. C. It has been carried out on real patients. D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects. 10. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs? A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials. C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery. 11. Where can we probably read the passage? A. In a geography textbook. B. In a medical magazine. C. On a culture website. D. In a travel guide. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了赵教授研发的一种微小机器人，它能有效清除血管中的血块，显著提高治疗成功率且副作用小。该技术借鉴了盾构机的原理，目前已在实验阶段，未来可能用于治疗更多疾病。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm microrobot, she increased the success rate of blood clot removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world. (斯坦福大学助理教授赵瑞可在《自然》杂志上发表了一项突破性的医学突破：她使用一个2毫米的微型机器人，将清除血凝块的成功率从仅仅11%提高到了惊人的90%，这在医学界引起了轰动。)”可知，这一段通过介绍一项惊人的医学突破，旨在引出文章的主题，即介绍赵瑞可教授的微型机器人及其在医学领域的应用。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%.(赵教授的2毫米微型机器人进入血管，利用高速旋转产生力量，将血块大小减少到5%。)”以及“This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood. (这个过程不需要药物，不会造成血管损伤，并能有效地将被困的红细胞释放回血液中。)”可知，赵教授的微型机器人能够提高清除血凝块的成功率，并减少副作用。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). (令人惊讶的是，这项创新是受到地铁隧道盾构机(TBMs)的启发。)”可知，作者提到TBMs是为了说明这项创新的灵感来源。选项C“The inspiration behind the innovation.(这项创新背后的灵感)”符合题意。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学助理教授赵瑞可发表在《自然》杂志上的一项突破性医学研究，即使用微型机器人提高清除血凝块的成功率。文章详细描述了微型机器人的工作原理、优势以及未来的应用前景。因此，这篇文章最有可能出现在医学杂志上。故选B。 D Scientists announced that the past summer was likely the hottest in modern history, as a shocking heatwave shattered temperature records globally. This surge suggests the Earth might be entering a period of exceptional warmth lasting several years, primarily driven by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and the return of El Nino. The planet has just experienced its warmest June on record, with severe heatwaves affecting regions like Texas and India. Alarming changes are also seen in the polar regions: Antarctic sea ice has dropped to a record low, while the North Atlantic Ocean has shown unusually high temperatures, breaking previous records by a significant margin. This sudden temperature jump has surprised even climate scientists. According to an analysis, the global average temperature recently reached its highest level since at least 1940. While this is a global average, some areas, such as the Southern US and Northern Mexico, experienced even more intense heat, with climate change making the heatwave considerably worse. The long-term warming trend aligns with scientific predictions based on greenhouse gas increases. However, natural cycles are also influencing the recent acceleration. The world is transitioning from a prolonged La Nina phase, which suppressed global temperatures, into a strong El Nino phase, which releases ocean heat and warms the atmosphere. This shift suggests that even hotter conditions may lie ahead, potentially making next year warmer than the current one. Other factors may be contributing. The North Atlantic has been exceptionally warm since March, possibly due to weakened winds and reduced dust from the Sahara, which normally has a cooling effect. Some scientists also debate whether reduced sulfur pollution from ships, which previously reflected sunlight, might be a minor contributing factor. Despite these short-term influences, climate scientists emphasize the fundamental role of human activities. The continuous increase in greenhouse gases over the past 150 years has created a background state that makes extreme heat events much more likely and severe, setting the stage for records to be broken. 12. What is the main reason for the current period of exceptional warmth according to the text? A. Human-made greenhouse gas emissions. B. The decrease in sulfur pollution. C. The return of the La Nina phase. D. Weakened winds over the North Atlantic. 13. What can be inferred about the El Nino phenomenon from the text? A. It had reached its peak intensity. B. It usually cools global temperatures. C. It may cause even higher temperatures next year. D. It caused the North Atlantic heat in March. 14. Which of the following statements may the author agree? A. The Northern Mexico suffered from less intense heat. B. The warming trend was unexpected by scientists. C. The Antarctic sea ice levels increased this year. D. The global average temperature recently hit a record high. 15. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To predict precise weather for the next decade. B. To explain the reasons for recent record heat. C. To criticize the reduction of ship pollution. D. To discuss heatwaves’ impacts in Texas and India. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出今年夏天很可能是现代史上最热的时期，这种极端温暖现象是人类活动导致的温室气体排放、厄尔尼诺回归等因素共同作用的结果，同时短期自然周期和其他辅助因素也加剧了升温，而人类活动是背后的根本原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This surge suggests the Earth might be entering a period of exceptional warmth lasting several years, primarily driven by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and the return of El Nino.(这一激增表明，地球可能正在进入一个持续数年的异常温暖时期，这主要是由人类活动造成的温室气体排放和厄尔尼诺现象的回归引起的)”可知，当前异常温暖时期的主要原因是人为造成的温室气体排放。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The world is transitioning from a prolonged La Nina phase, which suppressed global temperatures, into a strong El Nino phase, which releases ocean heat and warms the atmosphere. This shift suggests that even hotter conditions may lie ahead, potentially making next year warmer than the current one.(全球正从持续已久的拉尼娜阶段过渡到强劲的厄尔尼诺阶段。拉尼娜会抑制全球气温，而厄尔尼诺会释放海洋热量并使大气升温。这种转变意味着未来可能出现更炎热的天气，明年的气温甚至有可能超过今年)”可推知，厄尔尼诺现象可能会导致明年气温更高。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to an analysis, the global average temperature recently reached its highest level since at least 1940.(根据一项分析，全球平均气温最近达到了至少自1940年以来的最高水平)”可推知，作者可能同意全球平均气温最近创下历史新高。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段首先指出过去的一个夏天可能是现代历史上最热的，地球可能正进入一个持续数年的异常温暖时期，这主要是由人类活动造成的温室气体排放和厄尔尼诺现象的回归引起的，接着文章第二、三、四、五段分别介绍了影响近期气温飙升的自然因素和人为因素，最后一段强调了人类活动在长期变暖趋势中的根本作用。由此推知，这篇文章的主要目的是解释近期创纪录高温的原因。故选B。 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。 Not all great thinkers are great communicators. If you want to succeed in any field, it’s essential to convey your ideas clearly and effectively. ____16____ No audience is likely to appreciate a speaker who cannot express thoughts fluently. I always keep two important tools within reach: a grammar guidebook and a style manual (手册). I don’t rely only on my computer’s grammar checker. ____17____ While there are many online resources available, I still prefer the physical feel of a physical book that I can read at my leisure. I use The Elements of Style by Strunk and White and The Chicago Manual of Style. ____18____ It should provide clear explanations of grammatical rules, thus helping you avoid common mistakes. It will also offer guidance on how to structure sentences and paragraphs for maximum impact. In addition, I have a well-worn copy of On Writing Well by William Zinsser, which I picked up at a used bookstore for a bargain price. It’s not just about grammar; it’s about writing with clarity, simplicity, and humanity. ____19____ However, if I need inspiration or practical advice on improving my writing, there’s no better resource. For centuries, one of the most influential books on rhetoric (修辞) and persuasion has been Aristotle’s Rhetoric. “The art of persuasion is the art of speaking in a way that is both convincing and moving,” wrote Aristotle. ____20____ Spending a few minutes reading a passage from it can be enlightening and enriching. A. I don’t often refer to this book. B. But a style manual can be a joy to explore. C. But I still wouldn’t trade it for anything else. D. It doesn’t account for the details of language. E. That means clear structure and smooth language. F. Style manuals don’t always cover every possible situation. G. Of course, a grammar guide is not just for correcting errors. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章强调了有效沟通的重要性，作者分享了个人在提升写作和沟通技巧方面使用工具书的心得，指出语法和风格手册的价值，并提及修辞学经典《修辞学》的启发性。 【16题详解】 上文提到“If you want to succeed in any field, it’s essential to convey your ideas clearly and effectively. (如果你想在任何领域取得成功，清晰有效地传达你的想法是至关重要的。)”强调了清晰表达的重要性。E选项“That means clear structure and smooth language. (这意味着清晰的结构和流畅的语言。)”进一步解释了清晰表达的具体含义，即结构清晰和语言流畅，与上文紧密相连，符合题意。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文提到“I don’t rely only on my computer’s grammar checker. (我不仅仅依赖电脑的语法检查器。) ”表明作者不单纯依赖电脑工具。D选项“It doesn’t account for the details of language. (它没有考虑到语言的细节。)”解释了为什么不单纯依赖电脑工具的原因，即电脑工具可能无法捕捉到语言的细节，与上文形成因果关系，符合题意。故选D。 【18题详解】 下文提到“It should provide clear explanations of grammatical rules, thus helping you avoid common mistakes. It will also offer guidance on how to structure sentences and paragraphs for maximum impact. (它应该对语法规则提供清晰的解释，从而帮助你避免常见的错误。它还将提供如何构建句子和段落以获得最大影响的指导。)”详细描述了语法指南的功能和作用。G选项“Of course, a grammar guide is not just for correcting errors. (当然，语法指南不仅仅是为了纠正错误。)”引出了下文对语法指南功能的进一步阐述，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“In addition, I have a well-worn copy of  On Writing Well  by William Zinsser, which I picked up at a used bookstore for a bargain price.

Unlike many Western explorers of his time, Geil gave a fair and detailed account of Chinese society, ____37____ (cover) landscapes, local customs and everyday life. What impresses me most ____38____ (be) his unbiased attitude. His respect for Chinese culture is also clear in his love for literature.

Many ideas, such ____43____ cultural arrogance or feelings of inferiority, are so common that we often don’t question them.

There it was: a brown little guy with a large nose that fit perfectly over my shoulder. I hugged the brown stuffed aardvark (土豚) doll tightly and whispered, “Hi, Artie.” Last week, my mother finally noticed. “Why do you always disappear?” she asked at checkout. “Next time, your brother is going with you.” Oh, no! My brother, Rich, was going to accompany me into the store. He would watch me and report everything to our mother. Anyway, I wasn’t going to give up seeing my precious Artie. So, when Rich and I walked into the store together, I advised him to get the daily groceries, since he was older. He agreed but said I shouldn’t go off to look at the cosmetics (化妆品), as I wasn’t allowed to wear them yet. He needn’t have worried about that; I was already heading toward Artie. There it was, awaiting me. I grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Just then, I heard my brother: “What in the world are you doing?” “This is Artie,” I said. “I hug it every single time I come here. Don’t tell Mom. I know we can’t afford it, and I hope it doesn’t get sold, because I just love this little guy.” The look on Rich’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to the store, he said, “Go on and hug your ugly animal, if it’s still there, and I’ll get the groceries.” One day before Thanksgiving Day, Rich was working with Dad somewhere, so Mom took me to Lehman’s but waited outside. “You go in by yourself,” she said. “My legs are tired today. Just don’t take forever, okay?” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone. My heart dropped and panic surged through me. I searched up and down each aisle, my hopes fading with every empty spot. A kind clerk who noticed my distress said gently, “That aardvark doll was sold yesterday.” Tears blurred my vision. How could Artie be gone? Heartbroken, I stumbled out of the store, forcing a smile to Mom who was waiting for me outside. “Is everything alright?” Mom asked. “Nothing much,” I mumbled, hiding my trembling lip. On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up. He held out a small, clumsily wrapped box. “It’s for you,” he whispered. With surprise and curiosity, I carefully unwrapped it, and there lay Artie! I gasped, speechless with emotion. Rich grinned, “I bought him with all my savings. Now he’s yours forever.” Overwhelmed with joy, I hugged him tightly, with tears streaming down my cheeks. It wasn’t just a stuffed aardvark doll, but a gift of pure love from my family. It was the best Thanksgiving gift forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者每次去Lehman’s商店时，都会拥抱一个叫Artie的土豚玩偶，因为知道无钱购买，所以作者请求发现她这一举动的哥哥Rich不要告诉妈妈。Rich不但替她保守了秘密，还悄悄用自己攒下的钱买下了这个玩偶，在感恩节那天送给了作者当作礼物，体现了家人之间的关爱和温情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我径直冲向Artie的架子，但Artie不见了。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现玩偶不见后的反应、言语和行为表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“在感恩节那天，当我们被允许打开一份礼物时，Rich走了过来。”可知，第二段可描写Rich送作者Artie为礼物，以及作者的反应和表现，点明主题。 2. 续写线索： 玩偶被卖——恐慌——伤心——送礼物——惊喜、感动——感悟。 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①使模糊：blur/fuzz up ②注意到：notice/take notice of ③拥抱：hug/embrace ④流下：stream down/flow down 情绪类： ①恐慌：panic/fright ②悲伤：distress/sorrow ③快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】A kind clerk who noticed my distress said gently, “That aardvark doll was sold yesterday.”(运用了以关系代词who引导的限制性定语从句。） 【高分句型2】Heartbroken, I stumbled out of the store, forcing a smile to Mom who was waiting for me outside.（运用了形容词和现在分词作状语，以及关系代词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 $ 武功县2026届高三质量监测 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试卷共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2. 答卷前，务必将答题卡上密封线内的各项目填写清楚。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。涂写在本试卷上无效。 4. 作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 5. 考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理;试卷不回收。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

B Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slammed it shut for the last time. I’m wandering in the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and chatting with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up. It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps (渗透) into my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier. If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the ending count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prizewinner Daniel Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever trouble and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. Don’t mistake all moments as equal in significance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting. 4. According to the peak-end rule, how do people usually judge past experiences? A. By calculating the total time spent. B. By remembering every detail equally. C. By comparing them with others’ experiences. D. By focusing on the most extreme and final moments. 5. How did the author apply the peak-end rule in her own life? A. She avoided stressful situations entirely. B. She encouraged her children to study harder before exams. C. She made sure her children had a calm and pleasant bedtime. D. She organized more activities for her children during the day. 6. Why does the author mention Pete Carroll’s words in the last paragraph? A. To encourage readers to pay attention to endings. B. To explain why desserts are more enjoyable. C. To criticize people’s unhealthy eating habits. D. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports. 7. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage? A. The best ways to reduce stress before bedtime. B. The peak-end rule and its influence on memory. C. The importance of following school rules strictly. D. How to create unforgettable high school memories. C Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm microrobot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks— not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood. What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones. 8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1? A. To lead into the topic. B. To explain a common phenomenon. C. To introduce a famous scientist. D. To criticize a new study. 9. What can we know about Zhao’s micro-robot? A. It usually increases the clot size. B. It prevents clots from forming again. C. It has been carried out on real patients. D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects. 10. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs? A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials. C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery. 11. Where can we probably read the passage? A. In a geography textbook. B. In a medical magazine. C. On a culture website. D. In a travel guide. D Scientists announced that the past summer was likely the hottest in modern history, as a shocking heatwave shattered temperature records globally. This surge suggests the Earth might be entering a period of exceptional warmth lasting several years, primarily driven by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and the return of El Nino. The planet has just experienced its warmest June on record, with severe heatwaves affecting regions like Texas and India. Alarming changes are also seen in the polar regions: Antarctic sea ice has dropped to a record low, while the North Atlantic Ocean has shown unusually high temperatures, breaking previous records by a significant margin. This sudden temperature jump has surprised even climate scientists. According to an analysis, the global average temperature recently reached its highest level since at least 1940. While this is a global average, some areas, such as the Southern US and Northern Mexico, experienced even more intense heat, with climate change making the heatwave considerably worse. The long-term warming trend aligns with scientific predictions based on greenhouse gas increases. However, natural cycles are also influencing the recent acceleration. The world is transitioning from a prolonged La Nina phase, which suppressed global temperatures, into a strong El Nino phase, which releases ocean heat and warms the atmosphere. This shift suggests that even hotter conditions may lie ahead, potentially making next year warmer than the current one. Other factors may be contributing. The North Atlantic has been exceptionally warm since March, possibly due to weakened winds and reduced dust from the Sahara, which normally has a cooling effect. Some scientists also debate whether reduced sulfur pollution from ships, which previously reflected sunlight, might be a minor contributing factor. Despite these short-term influences, climate scientists emphasize the fundamental role of human activities. The continuous increase in greenhouse gases over the past 150 years has created a background state that makes extreme heat events much more likely and severe, setting the stage for records to be broken. 12. What is the main reason for the current period of exceptional warmth according to the text? A. Human-made greenhouse gas emissions. B. The decrease in sulfur pollution. C. The return of the La Nina phase. D. Weakened winds over the North Atlantic. 13. What can be inferred about the El Nino phenomenon from the text? A. It had reached its peak intensity. B. It usually cools global temperatures. C. It may cause even higher temperatures next year. D. It caused the North Atlantic heat in March. 14. Which of the following statements may the author agree? A. The Northern Mexico suffered from less intense heat. B. The warming trend was unexpected by scientists. C. The Antarctic sea ice levels increased this year. D. The global average temperature recently hit a record high. 15. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To predict precise weather for the next decade. B. To explain the reasons for recent record heat. C. To criticize the reduction of ship pollution. D. To discuss heatwaves’ impacts in Texas and India. 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。 Not all great thinkers are great communicators.

There it was: a brown little guy with a large nose that fit perfectly over my shoulder. I hugged the brown stuffed aardvark (土豚) doll tightly and whispered, “Hi, Artie.” Last week, my mother finally noticed. “Why do you always disappear?” she asked at checkout. “Next time, your brother is going with you.” Oh, no! My brother, Rich, was going to accompany me into the store. He would watch me and report everything to our mother. Anyway, I wasn’t going to give up seeing my precious Artie. So, when Rich and I walked into the store together, I advised him to get the daily groceries, since he was older. He agreed but said I shouldn’t go off to look at the cosmetics (化妆品), as I wasn’t allowed to wear them yet. He needn’t have worried about that; I was already heading toward Artie. There it was, awaiting me. I grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Just then, I heard my brother: “What in the world are you doing?” “This is Artie,” I said. “I hug it every single time I come here. Don’t tell Mom. I know we can’t afford it, and I hope it doesn’t get sold, because I just love this little guy.” The look on Rich’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to the store, he said, “Go on and hug your ugly animal, if it’s still there, and I’ll get the groceries.” One day before Thanksgiving Day, Rich was working with Dad somewhere, so Mom took me to Lehman’s but waited outside. “You go in by yourself,” she said. “My legs are tired today. Just don’t take forever, okay?” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
