That’s why The Flow Project was started at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2021 as part of Water@UW-Madison. The Flow Project is still going today. It pairs undergraduate artists with water scientists to create art pieces inspired by water, ranging from paintings and drawings, clothes and sculptures, to dance and music. Their work highlights the value of art not only as a tool to communicate science, but also as a way to inspire new science. Akriti Bagchi, an undergraduate student studying fashion design, was paired with Yuan Liu, a third-year PhD student in environmental engineering who studies storms and flooding in the Mississippi River Basin (流域). Liu generates computer models of storms caused by atmospheric rivers, which are large amounts of water vapor (水蒸气) that move onto land from tropical seas. His models aim to estimate the flood risks associated with these storms in the Mississippi River Basin. Patterns and designs from Liu’s research inspired visual elements that Bagchi transformed into a wearable jacket. She designed the jacket with blue and brown yarns (纱线) through white fabric to present the multiple layers of water vapor involved in the storms Liu studies. The front of the jacket showcases patches (块) of fabric to form a map of the river basin. Bagchi chose each patch to represent the basin’s various regions. “There’s so much you can do with fashion,” Bagchi said. “You can do all your research and you can find crazy solutions. And finding ways to show your thoughts in a creative sense or just in a very clear way is very important.” But Bagchi’s art wasn’t the only thing inspired by the cooperation. Liu said talking with Bagchi throughout the process and seeing how she approaches problems encouraged him to take a step back and consider new approaches to his own work. “I think it does shift a little bit of the focus when I’m doing research from just thinking about all those details, those mathematics, to the big picture,” said Liu. “That’s pretty important actually, for you to become a better scientist.” 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How the project operates. B. What inspires art pieces. C. What pairs artists with scientists. D. How new science is communicated. 5. What is the purpose of Liu’s computer models? A. To assist in fashion designs. B. To predict the impact of flooding. C. To understand the causes of storms. D. To smooth cooperation with artists. 6. What can the jacket designed by Bagchi be considered as? A. The result of a scientific study. B. An innovation in fashion design. C. A combination of art and science. D. A call for environmental protection. 7. What do Liu’s words in the last paragraph focus on? A. His plan for becoming a better scientist. B. The true meaning behind Bagchi’s artwork. C. The benefit he gained from the cooperation. D. The new methods he learned for his research. C In the digital age, the concept of “deep work” — the ability to put all your attention on a difficult task — is becoming increasingly valuable, yet increasingly rare. As Cal Newport, a computer science professor at Georgetown University, argues in his book Deep Work, the constant interruptions (干扰) from emails, social media notifications, and a culture of multitasking are distracting (分散) our attention. This “shallow work” while often unavoidable, doesn’t create much new value and is easy to do. It includes routine administrative tasks, reactive communication, and piecemeal efforts that occupy much of the modern workday but contribute little to meaningful progress or innovation. Newport suggests that the ability to perform deep work is a superpower in our competitive economy. Those who can master the art of intense focus will be better at learning complex things quickly and producing high-quality output. To develop this skill, he proposes strategies such as scheduling strict blocks of time for deep work, embracing boredom instead of immediately seeking digital stimulation, and quitting social media to reduce the chance of getting distracted. He emphasizes the importance of creating environments that signal the brain to enter a state of deep concentration, thereby making it a habitual practice rather than an occasional feat. However, critics point out that not all jobs allow for large, uninterrupted blocks of time. For many in service-oriented or cooperative roles, responsiveness is key, Teachers, healthcare workers, and customer support personnel, for example, must remain highly accessible and connected throughout their day. The challenge, then, is not to cancel all shallow work but to find a sustainable balance, perhaps by ritualizing (仪式化) deep work sessions and communicating one’s focus hours to colleagues. This approach acknowledges the necessity of collaboration(协作) while safeguarding periods dedicated to high-value tasks. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a personalized workflow that respects both the need for focused productivity and the demands of interconnected professional environments. By consciously setting aside time for deep work and setting clear boundaries, individuals can enhance their efficiency without compromising their roles in team-based or service-driven settings. This balanced model not only boosts individual performance but also supports healthier, more sustainable work cultures in the long term. 8. According to the passage, what is a characteristic of “shallow work”? A. It is difficult to manage. B. It creates much new value. C. It takes little time of a workday. D. It is often unavoidable but less valuable. 9. What is Cal Newport’s main argument about deep work? A. Multitasking is an essential skill now. B. Email is the biggest source of interruption. C. The ability to stay focused is highly valuable. D. Social media platforms are to attract our attention. 10. What is the critics’ primary concern regarding deep work? A. It is too difficult for the average person to learn. B. It may not be practical for all types of professions. C. The strategies proposed by Newport are ineffective. D. It leads to increased stress and burnout among workers. 11. What does the underlined word “compromising” in the last paragraph mean? A. Weakening. B. Dominating. C. Exposing. D. Claiming. D You’ve probably seen headlines like this: “Astronomers say space rock may hit Earth in the near future!” Every year we see warnings about one or two such objects. But how do astronomers know an asteroid’s path? When astronomers detect a new asteroid, they must determine its orbit (轨道). Is it circling the Sun beyond Mars, or does its path bring it close to Earth? Answering these questions relies on the laws of planetary motion established by German astronomer Johannes Kepler in the 17th century. Kepler discovered that planets orbit the Sun in ellipses (椭圆), and asteroids follow the same principle. The basic characteristics of an orbital ellipse are its eccentricity (离心率), size and orientation in space. Once astronomers know all those elements, they can mathematically define the associated orbit. In theory, they can use Kepler’s equations to predict its future positions. In practice, it’s not so easy. To accurately define an asteroid’s orbit, astronomers need at least three well-separated observations. But asteroids don’t appear as perfect dots in telescope images — they are slightly blurred, making their exact positions difficult to measure. The best way to improve predictions is to gather more observations, either from new telescope data or past images. Also, the longer an object is tracked, the more precise its orbital calculations become. However, this isn’t always possible. Some asteroids are too small and dim to observe for long, and others move so close to the sun’s glare that they become temporarily invisible. If an asteroid’s orbit is well-defined, how do astronomers calculate the chance of an Earth impact? One method is to simulate its orbit and identify when it...will pass through Earth’s orbital region. If Earth happens to be in the asteroid’s path at the same time, a collision (碰撞) is possible. However, Earth is a small target, and the space where the asteroid might be on that date is usually large. As a result, even for a seemingly alarming asteroid, the actual chance of impact is typically very low — often one in thousands. In most cases, additional observations improve the prediction and reveal that the asteroid will miss Earth entirely, reducing the risk to zero. That’s not to say we never get hit! Recent examples include the Chelyabinsk meteor event in 2013. That’s why we must keep our eyes on the sky. Fortunately, with more telescopes, we can track more asteroids and sharpen our predictions. 12. Johannes Kepler’s laws help . A. detect an asteroid in space B. predict the orbit of an asteroid C. calculate the size of an asteroid D. determine the influence of an asteroid impact 13. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly discuss? A. The time required to observe an asteroid. B. The challenges in defining an asteroid’s orbit. C. The role of telescope data in tracking asteroids. D. The characteristics of asteroids and their orbits. 14. What does the author imply by stating “Earth is a small target” in paragraph 6? A. To suggest we need to build larger telescopes to calculate the chance. B. To explain why most asteroids are identified when they are very close. C. To emphasize the vastness of space and the low probability of a collision. D. To criticize the inefficiency of current astronomical observation technology. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Continuous monitoring of asteroids is a necessity. B. Additional observations can reduce the risk to zero, C. More telescopes ensure the accuracy of all our predictions. D. Examples prove that current monitoring systems are ineffective. 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。 It is reported that retirement-age Americans have an average of $165,000 in retirement savings. ____16____ But with the increasing cost of living in the country, would it be enough? Thus financial advisers commonly suggest that people start saving 10 to 15 percent of their earnings. as soon as possible because it could mean the difference between retiring with $165,000 and over $1 million — or not being able to retire at all. ____17____ We also have, to varying degrees, emotional capital, like being loved and loving; social capital, which involves friendship; and professional capital that relates to one’s standing in an occupational setting. And most importantly, we have health and time capital, which is essentially our lifespan or longevity. If a person invests about 10 percent of their available time capital on a regular — ideally daily — basis into purposeful movement-based activity, it is very likely they will increase their health span and their lifespan. ____18____ Purposeful physical activity has been shown repeatedly to be one of the very best predictors of health and longevity. ____19____ Investing about 10 percent of your income into the future will ensure that you will have future financial resources for your economic needs. And so, too, investing about 10 percent of your time into physical activity as simple as walking will virtually guarantee that you will extend your health span, which will allow for more quality of time in the future. Recent science has confirmed that simply walking three to five miles a day can reduce one’s risk of death from all causes by almost 50 percent. ____20____ Remember, the sooner you start investing your time capital into your health span, the better your long-term quality of life will be, just as the sooner you start saving your actual money, the better off you will be financially in the future. A. Think about it. B. Let’s make a choice. C. Yes, I mean exercise. D. That might seem a considerable fortune. E. The main question is, what are you waiting for? F. However, it’s hard to imagine having so much money. G. In fact, having capital isn’t all just about having money. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When Matthew Shifrin turned 13, he got a life-changing birthday present from his friend, Lilya Finkel.

Petting his beloved dog’s soft, black fur for the last time before he was taken away to be put down was incredibly painful. Toast had lived a good, long life and — Sam hoped — a happy one at that. With Toast, he’d experienced some of his most fun adventures, like camping in the suburbs, as well as the more common activity of splashing in the puddles in their yard whenever it rained. More than a year later, Sam’s family was sitting at the table eating dinner when his mom proposed that they get a new family dog. “There’s a puppy named Muffin at the local adoption center, Sam. Take a look at its photo.” As Sam held the printed picture of the little white, messy-looking dog with big brown eyes in his hands, he couldn’t deny he felt a pang of longing to adopt him, but he pulled away from the feeling. “I don’t want to go through that again — losing a dog. It was too horrible. I mean, I loved dogs, and I wish I had another one, but I can’t bear to lose one again. Can we get a robot dog instead?” said Sam, putting the picture back down in front of his mom. Wanting to respect Sam’s wishes, Sam’s mom bought a robot dog on Taobao. Just a few days later, with a knock at the door, the robot dog was delivered, much to Sam’s excitement. He quickly unpacked the box, revealing the pure white robot dog. After waiting for it to charge, Sam started enjoying interacting with his new pet, watching it jump, bark, and even fetch things. Sam was fascinated with his new four-legged friend for the whole afternoon, busily shouting commands to it. 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。 Two days later, while waiting for it to recharge again, Sam felt something was missing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the local adoption center, a staff member led them to the puppy on the photo. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年度高二年级第一学期期中教学质量调研 英语试题 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 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.

That’s why The Flow Project was started at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2021 as part of Water@UW-Madison. The Flow Project is still going today. It pairs undergraduate artists with water scientists to create art pieces inspired by water, ranging from paintings and drawings, clothes and sculptures, to dance and music. Their work highlights the value of art not only as a tool to communicate science, but also as a way to inspire new science. Akriti Bagchi, an undergraduate student studying fashion design, was paired with Yuan Liu, a third-year PhD student in environmental engineering who studies storms and flooding in the Mississippi River Basin (流域). Liu generates computer models of storms caused by atmospheric rivers, which are large amounts of water vapor (水蒸气) that move onto land from tropical seas. His models aim to estimate the flood risks associated with these storms in the Mississippi River Basin. Patterns and designs from Liu’s research inspired visual elements that Bagchi transformed into a wearable jacket. She designed the jacket with blue and brown yarns (纱线) through white fabric to present the multiple layers of water vapor involved in the storms Liu studies. The front of the jacket showcases patches (块) of fabric to form a map of the river basin. Bagchi chose each patch to represent the basin’s various regions. “There’s so much you can do with fashion,” Bagchi said. “You can do all your research and you can find crazy solutions. And finding ways to show your thoughts in a creative sense or just in a very clear way is very important.” But Bagchi’s art wasn’t the only thing inspired by the cooperation. Liu said talking with Bagchi throughout the process and seeing how she approaches problems encouraged him to take a step back and consider new approaches to his own work. “I think it does shift a little bit of the focus when I’m doing research from just thinking about all those details, those mathematics, to the big picture,” said Liu. “That’s pretty important actually, for you to become a better scientist.” 4 What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How the project operates. B. What inspires art pieces. C. What pairs artists with scientists. D. How new science is communicated. 5. What is the purpose of Liu’s computer models? A. To assist in fashion designs. B. To predict the impact of flooding. C. To understand the causes of storms. D. To smooth cooperation with artists. 6. What can the jacket designed by Bagchi be considered as? A. The result of a scientific study. B. An innovation in fashion design. C. A combination of art and science. D. A call for environmental protection. 7. What do Liu’s words in the last paragraph focus on? A. His plan for becoming a better scientist. B. The true meaning behind Bagchi’s artwork. C. The benefit he gained from the cooperation. D. The new methods he learned for his research. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7.

(她用蓝色和棕色的纱线穿过白色织物设计了这件夹克，以呈现刘研究的暴风雨中涉及的多层水蒸气。夹克的正面展示了一块块的织物，形成了流域的地图。Bagchi选择每一块来代表流域的不同区域。)”可知，Bagchi夹克的设计灵感来自刘的科学研究，并通过艺术形式拼呈现，因此可被视为艺术与科学的结合。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Liu所说的话“I think it does shift a little bit of the focus when I’m doing research from just thinking about all those details, those mathematics, to the big picture (我认为当我在做研究的时候，它确实把我的注意力从那些细节、那些数学转移到了全局上)”和“That’s pretty important actually, for you to become a better scientist. (这对你成为一名更好的科学家来说非常重要。)”可知，Liu表示与Bagchi的合作让他学会从全局视角思考问题，有助于让他成为更好的科学家，聚焦的是他从合作中获得的益处。故选C项。 C In the digital age, the concept of “deep work” — the ability to put all your attention on a difficult task — is becoming increasingly valuable, yet increasingly rare. As Cal Newport, a computer science professor at Georgetown University, argues in his book Deep Work, the constant interruptions (干扰) from emails, social media notifications, and a culture of multitasking are distracting (分散) our attention. This “shallow work” while often unavoidable, doesn’t create much new value and is easy to do. It includes routine administrative tasks, reactive communication, and piecemeal efforts that occupy much of the modern workday but contribute little to meaningful progress or innovation. Newport suggests that the ability to perform deep work is a superpower in our competitive economy. Those who can master the art of intense focus will be better at learning complex things quickly and producing high-quality output. To develop this skill, he proposes strategies such as scheduling strict blocks of time for deep work, embracing boredom instead of immediately seeking digital stimulation, and quitting social media to reduce the chance of getting distracted. He emphasizes the importance of creating environments that signal the brain to enter a state of deep concentration, thereby making it a habitual practice rather than an occasional feat. However, critics point out that not all jobs allow for large, uninterrupted blocks of time. For many in service-oriented or cooperative roles, responsiveness is key, Teachers, healthcare workers, and customer support personnel, for example, must remain highly accessible and connected throughout their day. The challenge, then, is not to cancel all shallow work but to find a sustainable balance, perhaps by ritualizing (仪式化) deep work sessions and communicating one’s focus hours to colleagues. This approach acknowledges the necessity of collaboration(协作) while safeguarding periods dedicated to high-value tasks. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a personalized workflow that respects both the need for focused productivity and the demands of interconnected professional environments. By consciously setting aside time for deep work and setting clear boundaries, individuals can enhance their efficiency without compromising their roles in team-based or service-driven settings. This balanced model not only boosts individual performance but also supports healthier, more sustainable work cultures in the long term. 8. According to the passage, what is a characteristic of “shallow work”? A. It is difficult to manage. B. It creates much new value. C. It takes little time of a workday. D. It is often unavoidable but less valuable. 9. What is Cal Newport’s main argument about deep work? A. Multitasking is an essential skill now. B. Email is the biggest source of interruption. C. The ability to stay focused is highly valuable. D. Social media platforms are to attract our attention. 10. What is the critics’ primary concern regarding deep work? A. It is too difficult for the average person to learn. B. It may not be practical for all types of professions. C. The strategies proposed by Newport are ineffective. D. It leads to increased stress and burnout among workers. 11. What does the underlined word “compromising” in the last paragraph mean? A. Weakening. B. Dominating. C. Exposing. D. Claiming. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，主要围绕“深度工作”与“浅层工作”展开，探讨了数字时代深度工作的价值、培养方法，以及不同职业对工作模式的适配性，最终提出需平衡专注高效与协作需求的工作模式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This ‘shallow work’ while often unavoidable, doesn’t create much new value and is easy to do. (这种‘浅层工作’尽管往往无法避免，但不会创造太多新价值，而且做起来很容易。)”可知，浅层工作的特点是，通常无法避免，但价值较低。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段提到“In the digital age, the concept of ‘deep work’ — the ability to put all your attention on a difficult task — is becoming increasingly valuable, yet increasingly rare. (在数字时代，‘深度工作’这一概念——即全神贯注处理高难度任务的能力——正变得愈发珍贵，却也愈发稀缺。) ”，且第二段首句指出“Newport suggests that the ability to perform deep work is a superpower in our competitive economy. (Newport认为，在竞争激烈的当下经济环境中，能进行深度工作的能力堪称一项超能力)”，说明他的核心观点是，保持专注的能力（深度工作）极具价值。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“However, critics point out that not all jobs allow for large, uninterrupted blocks of time. For many in service-oriented or cooperative roles, responsiveness is key. (然而，批评者指出，并非所有工作都能允许大段不受干扰的时间。对于许多从事服务型或协作型工作的人来说，快速响应能力才是关键。)”可知，批评者的担忧是，深度工作并非适用于所有职业类型。故选B项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“By consciously setting aside time for deep work and setting clear boundaries, individuals can enhance their efficiency without compromising their roles in team-based or service-driven settings. (通过合理规划深度工作时间、设定工作边界，个体可以提升效率，同时不compromising自己在团队或服务型工作中的角色。)”可知个体应是在提高效率的同时不削弱自身在团队中的作用。也就是compromising在这里意为“削弱、损害”，与weakening同义。故选A项。 D You’ve probably seen headlines like this: “Astronomers say space rock may hit Earth in the near future!” Every year, we see warnings about one or two such objects. But how do astronomers know an asteroid’s path? When astronomers detect a new asteroid, they must determine its orbit (轨道). Is it circling the Sun beyond Mars, or does its path bring it close to Earth? Answering these questions relies on the laws of planetary motion established by German astronomer Johannes Kepler in the 17th century. Kepler discovered that planets orbit the Sun in ellipses (椭圆), and asteroids follow the same principle. The basic characteristics of an orbital ellipse are its eccentricity (离心率), size and orientation in space. Once astronomers know all those elements, they can mathematically define the associated orbit. In theory, they can use Kepler’s equations to predict its future positions. In practice, it’s not so easy. To accurately define an asteroid’s orbit, astronomers need at least three well-separated observations. But asteroids don’t appear as perfect dots in telescope images — they are slightly blurred, making their exact positions difficult to measure. The best way to improve predictions is to gather more observations, either from new telescope data or past images. Also, the longer an object is tracked, the more precise its orbital calculations become. However, this isn’t always possible. Some asteroids are too small and dim to observe for long, and others move so close to the sun’s glare that they become temporarily invisible. If an asteroid’s orbit is well-defined, how do astronomers calculate the chance of an Earth impact? One method is to simulate its orbit and identify when it...will pass through Earth’s orbital region. If Earth happens to be in the asteroid’s path at the same time, a collision (碰撞) is possible. However, Earth is a small target, and the space where the asteroid might be on that date is usually large. As a result, even for a seemingly alarming asteroid, the actual chance of impact is typically very low — often one in thousands. In most cases, additional observations improve the prediction and reveal that the asteroid will miss Earth entirely, reducing the risk to zero. That’s not to say we never get hit! Recent examples include the Chelyabinsk meteor event in 2013. That’s why we must keep our eyes on the sky. Fortunately, with more telescopes, we can track more asteroids and sharpen our predictions. 12. Johannes Kepler’s laws help . A. detect an asteroid in space B. predict the orbit of an asteroid C. calculate the size of an asteroid D. determine the influence of an asteroid impact 13. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly discuss? A. The time required to observe an asteroid. B. The challenges in defining an asteroid’s orbit. C. The role of telescope data in tracking asteroids. D. The characteristics of asteroids and their orbits. 14. What does the author imply by stating “Earth is a small target” in paragraph 6? A. To suggest we need to build larger telescopes to calculate the chance. B. To explain why most asteroids are identified when they are very close. C. To emphasize the vastness of space and the low probability of a collision. D. To criticize the inefficiency of current astronomical observation technology. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Continuous monitoring of asteroids is a necessity. B. Additional observations can reduce the risk to zero, C. More telescopes ensure the accuracy of all our predictions. D. Examples prove that current monitoring systems are ineffective. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15.

To accurately define an asteroid’s orbit, astronomers need at least three well-separated observations. But asteroids don’t appear as perfect dots in telescope images — they are slightly blurred, making their exact positions difficult to measure.(实际上，这并非易事。要精确确定一颗小行星的轨道，天文学家至少需要三次彼此间隔较远的观测数据。但小行星在望远镜图像中并非呈现为完美的点状——它们会有轻微的模糊，这使得其确切位置难以测量)”以及第五段“The best way to improve predictions is to gather more observations, either from new telescope data or past images. Also, the longer an object is tracked, the more precise its orbital calculations become. However, this isn’t always possible. Some asteroids are too small and dim to observe for long, and others move so close to the sun’s glare that they become temporarily invisible.(提高预测精度的最佳方法是收集更多的观测数据，这些数据可以来自新的望远镜观测结果或者以往的图像。此外，对一个天体进行的跟踪时间越长，其轨道计算的精度就越高。然而，并非所有情况都能做到这一点。有些小行星太小且太暗，无法长时间观测；还有一些则因为靠近太阳的强光而暂时变得不可见)”可知，第4段和第5段主要说明了确定小行星轨道所面临的挑战。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“However, Earth is a small target, and the space where the asteroid might be on that date is usually large.(然而，地球只是一个很小的目标，而那颗小行星在该日期可能所在的空间通常会非常广阔)”以及“As a result, even for a seemingly alarming asteroid, the actual chance of impact is typically very low — often one in thousands.(因此，即便是对于一颗看似颇具威胁的小行星而言，其发生撞击的实际概率通常也非常低——通常仅为千分之一左右)”可知，作者强调“地球是小目标”是为了突出太空的广阔性和碰撞的低概率，故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In most cases, additional observations improve the prediction and reveal that the asteroid will miss Earth entirely, reducing the risk to zero. That’s not to say we never get hit! Recent examples include the Chelyabinsk meteor event in 2013. That’s why we must keep our eyes on the sky. Fortunately, with more telescopes, we can track more asteroids and sharpen our predictions.(在大多数情况下，进行更多的观测会提高预测的准确性，并表明这颗小行星将完全避开地球，从而将风险降为零。但这并不意味着我们永远不会遭到撞击！最近的例子包括2013年的车里雅宾斯克陨石事件。这就是为什么我们必须持续关注天空。幸运的是，有了更多的望远镜，我们能够追踪更多的小行星，并提高我们的预测精度)”可知，对小行星的持续监测是十分必要的。故选A。 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。 It is reported that retirement-age Americans have an average of $165,000 in retirement savings. ____16____ But with the increasing cost of living in the country, would it be enough? Thus financial advisers commonly suggest that people start saving 10 to 15 percent of their earnings. as soon as possible because it could mean the difference between retiring with $165,000 and over $1 million — or not being able to retire at all. ____17____ We also have, to varying degrees, emotional capital, like being loved and loving; social capital, which involves friendship; and professional capital that relates to one’s standing in an occupational setting. And most importantly, we have health and time capital, which is essentially our lifespan or longevity. If a person invests about 10 percent of their available time capital on a regular — ideally daily — basis into purposeful movement-based activity, it is very likely they will increase their health span and their lifespan. ____18____ Purposeful physical activity has been shown repeatedly to be one of the very best predictors of health and longevity. ____19____ Investing about 10 percent of your income into the future will ensure that you will have future financial resources for your economic needs. And so, too, investing about 10 percent of your time into physical activity as simple as walking will virtually guarantee that you will extend your health span, which will allow for more quality of time in the future. Recent science has confirmed that simply walking three to five miles a day can reduce one’s risk of death from all causes by almost 50 percent. ____20____ Remember, the sooner you start investing your time capital into your health span, the better your long-term quality of life will be, just as the sooner you start saving your actual money, the better off you will be financially in the future. A. Think about it. B. Let’s make a choice. C. Yes, I mean exercise. D. That might seem a considerable fortune. E. The main question is, what are you waiting for? F.

Then she spent countless hours typing building ____2____ in Braille(盲文) that spelled out how to ____3____ them all together.”可知，因为希夫林是盲人，所以，芬克尔花了很多时间和精力特地制作了盲文版的说明书故选B项。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：然后她花了无数个小时用盲文输入搭建说明，详细写明了如何将所有零件组装在一起。A. collections收集物；B. patterns模式；C. requirements要求；D. instructions说明、指南。根据前文“with it were instructions that Finkel made especially for it”可知，此处指用盲文编写的搭建“说明”，“instructions”为原词复现。故选D项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后她花了无数个小时用盲文输入搭建说明，详细写明了如何将所有零件组装在一起。A. mix混合；B. fix组装、固定；C. fit适合；D. gather聚集。根据前文“843-piece Middle Eastern Lego palace”和“building instructions”可知，说明书的作用是指导如何将零件“组装”起来，“fix”此处意为“组装”，符合乐高搭建场景。故选B项。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：希夫林深受震撼。A. blown（被）震撼；B. challenged挑战；C. troubled困扰；D. eased缓解。根据后文“As a blind person, he had never before been able to complete a Lego set ____5____ .”可知，收到专门为他制作的盲文说明书，让他得以独立完成乐高，这让他“深受震撼”，“mind is blown”为固定表达，意为“深受震撼”。故选A项。 【25题详解】 考查固定短语辨析。句意：作为一名盲人，他以前从未能够独自完成一套乐高积木。A. more or less或多或少；B. at one time曾经；C. on his own独自；D. by all means务必。根据常识和前文“instructions in Braille”以及“As a blind person, he had never before been able to complete a Lego set”可知，作为一位盲人，如果没有盲文说明书应该是没法 “独自”完成乐高。故选C项。 26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他立刻意识到，他必须帮助其他盲童获得同样的独立性。A. edition版本；B. connection联系；C. balance平衡；D. independence独立性。根据前文“As a blind person, he had never before been able to complete a Lego set ____5____ .”可知，独自完成乐高带来的是“独立性”，这也是他想让其他盲童拥有独立性。故选D项。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：希夫林说：“对于盲人来说，乐高积木是现实生活中建筑的小型3D替代品，而不是二维照片。”A. replacements替代品；B. arrangements安排；C. columns柱子；D. brands品牌。根据后文“instead of two-dimensional photographs”可知，乐高积木作为3D模型，是现实建筑的“替代品”，帮助盲人通过触摸感知建筑形态。故选A项。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：乐高积木让我能够“看到”那些无法通过触摸探索的东西。A. natural自然的；B. impossible不可能的；C. critical关键的；D. normal正常的。根据前文“Lego sets act as small 3D ____7____ for real-life buildings instead of two-dimensional photographs.”可知，乐高积木是现实生活中建筑的小型3D替代品。由此可知，现实中的大型建筑无法通过触摸完全探索，而乐高积木让这成为可能，即“不可能”通过触摸探索的东西，通过乐高得以实现。故选B项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在那次不可思议的乐高经历之后的几年里，希夫林和芬克尔一起为大约45套其他乐高积木创作了类似的说明书，全部发布在他们创建的网站“盲人乐高”上。A. experiment实验；B. exhibition展览；C. exercise锻炼；D. experience经历。根据前文“Finkel invented a unique name for every one of the more than 800 pieces. Then she spent countless hours typing building ____2____ in Braille (盲文) that spelled out how to ____3____ them all together.”可知，收到芬克尔制作的盲文说明书并独自完成乐高的事情可知，这是一次难忘的“经历”。故选D项。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在那次不可思议的乐高经历之后的几年里，希夫林和芬克尔一起为大约45套其他乐高积木创作了类似的说明书，全部发布在他们创建的网站“盲人乐高”上。A.

Petting his beloved dog’s soft, black fur for the last time before he was taken away to be put down was incredibly painful. Toast had lived a good, long life and — Sam hoped — a happy one at that. With Toast, he’d experienced some of his most fun adventures, like camping in the suburbs, as well as the more common activity of splashing in the puddles in their yard whenever it rained. More than a year later, Sam’s family was sitting at the table eating dinner when his mom proposed that they get a new family dog. “There’s a puppy named Muffin at the local adoption center, Sam. Take a look at its photo.” As Sam held the printed picture of the little white, messy-looking dog with big brown eyes in his hands, he couldn’t deny he felt a pang of longing to adopt him, but he pulled away from the feeling. “I don’t want to go through that again — losing a dog. It was too horrible. I mean, I loved dogs, and I wish I had another one, but I can’t bear to lose one again. Can we get a robot dog instead?” said Sam, putting the picture back down in front of his mom. Wanting to respect Sam’s wishes, Sam’s mom bought a robot dog on Taobao. Just a few days later, with a knock at the door, the robot dog was delivered, much to Sam’s excitement. He quickly unpacked the box, revealing the pure white robot dog. After waiting for it to charge, Sam started enjoying interacting with his new pet, watching it jump, bark, and even fetch things. Sam was fascinated with his new four-legged friend for the whole afternoon, busily shouting commands to it. 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。 Two days later, while waiting for it to recharge again, Sam felt something was missing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the local adoption center, a staff member led them to the puppy on the photo. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Two days later, while waiting for it to recharge again, Sam felt something was missing. The robot dog obeyed commands perfectly, but its movements were mechanical, its barks artificial. There were no warm nuzzles, no excited tail wags when Sam returned home, and no soft fur to bury his face in when he felt sad. He stared at the charging robot, remembering how Toast would curl up beside him, breathing steadily, alive and real. “Maybe a robot can never replace a real dog,” Sam admitted to himself, his heart aching with the truth. At the local adoption center, a staff member led them to the puppy on the photo. Muffin bounded forward, his fluffy tail wagging wildly. Before Sam could hesitate, the puppy licked his fingers, then flopped onto his back, begging for a belly rub. Sam laughed — a sound he hadn’t made in over a year — as Muffin’s big brown eyes stared up at him with pure trust. “He’s perfect,” Sam whispered, picking him up and feeling the tiny heartbeat against his chest. The pain of losing Toast would never disappear, but maybe, just maybe, love wasn’t about avoiding loss but about embracing the joy in between. 【解析】 【导语】本文以收养宠物为线索展开，讲述了男孩Sam在失去心爱的狗狗Toast后，因害怕再次经历失去的痛苦而拒绝领养新狗，选择用机器狗替代。然而，机器狗无法提供真实的情感互动，最终Sam领养了小狗Muffin，重新体会到与真实生命的温暖联结，并领悟到爱的意义不在于避免失去，而在于珍惜过程中的每一刻快乐。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两天后，在等待它再次充电的时候，Sam觉得少了些什么。”可知，第一段可描写机器狗的机械动作，对比Toast给Sam的温暖回忆，体现Sam的心理变化，暗示他准备收养Muffin。 ②由第二段首句内容“在当地的收养中心，一名工作人员带领他们找到了照片上的小狗。”可知，第二段可描写Muffin活泼的动作，Sam对此的反应和感受，展现新开始的希望，再升华对宠物的爱的意义。 2. 续写线索：Sam觉得机器狗缺失某些东西——对比机器狗和Toast——Sam心理发生变化——前往收养中心——Muffin活泼地和Sam互动——Sam的感受 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①遵循：obey/follow/observe ②盯着看：stare at/gaze at ③取代：replace/take the place of/substitute for ④消失：disappear/vanish/go away 情绪类 ①兴奋：excited/thrilled/exhilarated ②伤心的：sad/sorrowful/miserable ③快乐：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stared at the charging robot, remembering how Toast would curl up beside him, breathing steadily, alive and real.
