A popular movie or TV drama has the power to make a city famous and generate a tourism boom. Qingdao in Shandong A famous film during last year’s Spring Festival was The Wandering Eart II. Interestingly, 90 percent of the film was actually shot in Qingdao. For sci-fi fans or film enthusiasts, visiting Qingdao to explore the movie’s filming locations has become a popular trend. During the Spring Festival the city recorded more than 3.75 million trips. Dali in Yunnan With the premiere (首映) of the TV drama Meet Yourself earlier last year, the Dali Bai Autonomous prefecture emerged as a highly sought-after tourism destination. The scenery and relaxing pace of life described in the drama lead to a tourism boom in Dali. During the Spring Festival, Yunnan province received the second most tourists in the nation with tourism revenue of 38.4 billion yuan, ranking top. Ningbo Museum in Zhejiang With the broadcast of the TV drama Three-Body Problem, Ningbo Museum has gained significant attention. Its regional cultural features, traditional architectural elements, and modern techniques serve as a vessel for history and culture. Following the TV show’s release, visitor numbers soared to 50,000 during the Spring Festival, marking a remarkable 220 percent year-on-year increase. 21. What influence does The Wandering Earth II bring? A. Sci-fic films have been great hits. B. More films will be shot in Qingdao. C. Qingdao becomes popular with sci-fic fans. D. Tourism in the Spring Festival was a boom. 22. What attracts tourists to Dali in Meet Yourself? A. Local customs. B. Various life-styles. C. Awesome landscape. D. Charming characters. 23. What is the purpose of the article? A. To introduce a tourism trend. B. To showcase shooting locations. C. To advertise films and dramas. D. To generate domestic tourism. B The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin. Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t. But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water. That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. 24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss. C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming. 25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ . A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance 26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving? A. Hesitant and fearful. B. Restless but joyful. C. Proud and contented. D. Afraid but resolute. 27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A. Do not judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. C Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar. A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day. The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device. Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis. “The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.” Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power. The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate. “I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.” 28. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process. B. The high-frequency wave transmission technique. C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection. D. The technical principle underlying the system. 29. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest? A. The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized. B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed. C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted. D. The radar system’s practicality is proven. 30. What does the follow-up study focus on? A. Improving skin-based glucose quantification. B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology. C. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis. D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly. 31 What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Doubtful. D In the Alps and Apennines of southern Europe, longhorn beetles are moving uphill, and a rare brown butterfly with orange-tipped wings is facing extinction due to isolation (隔离) at high peaks. This is a picture of a global trend. With temperatures rising and pressure on biodiversity growing, insects vital to our ecosystems are not only moving north and south, but up. Research shows many animals are making similar moves, but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year, with some species making significantly greater journeys. All of this shows the speed of climate change and its ecological impacts at higher altitudes (海拔). In ecology, finding the “smoking gun” to neatly explain any phenomenon is generally difficult. Prof. Christy McCain, who runs Colorado University’s Mountain Lab, said: “One thing that people don’t think about as much is context: how climate affects insects at different life stages, such as eggs and larvae (幼虫). Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change, especially in cold and dry mountain environments.” McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding, with too many museum specimens (标本) from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths (蛾) have been neglected. To support her view, she cites research on carrion beetles by a student in her lab. The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these impacts, which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions. Their long history since the Cretaceous (白垩纪) also aids their adaptation today. There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change. For some groups, it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are, the better their chances. There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove a saving grace. 32. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees are mentioned because ______. A. they are more mobile than other insects B. they have adapted well to higher altitudes C. they are a useful indicator of climate change D. they face extinction due to upward movement 33. Which statement may McCain agree with according to paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Study context is beyond grasp. B. Research data are hard to obtain. C. Insect samples are unrepresentative. D. Collection method is unconventional. 34. Why does McCain cite research on carrion beetles? A. To argue for their sensitivity to environmental changes. B. To call for the protection of insects from higher altitudes. C. To redirect focus from insects moving uphill to those downhill. D. To offer new insights into insects’ adaptation to climate change. 35. What does “a saving grace” in the last paragraph mean? A. A method used to collect data. B. A problem that needs to be solved. C. A feature that helps improve a situation. D. A type of insect that adapts well to change. 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。 We may have the experience of keeping our favorite song replaying itself in our minds. Experts agree that music has the ability to activate the hippocampus (海马体), especially when the songs transport you to happy moments in your life. ____36____ However, it is also important to pay attention to some mental patterns that may consistently dominate, as this could be an anxiety disorder. ____37____ From a psychological perspective this could be similar to the obsessive thoughts (执念) that reoccur in their mind. In this regard, psychologist María Angélica Barrero points out that music can be a wonderful tool for relaxation if you use it for what it is: music-listen to it carefully and enjoy it. ____38____ Now, let’s look at what happens to music that is created with the intention of being catchy so that it repeats in our brains. “Music bug” is a phenomenon that occurs when a song or melody plays repeatedly in the mind and becomes trapped in a person’s head. ____39____ When you experience moments of “musical urges”, it’s important to know that you have little conscious control over your brain. What’s the best strategy to suppress (抑制) the “musical urge”? ____40____ After completing this step, boost your cognitive (认知) health with some exercise that excites you and absorbs your attention, such as riddles and crossword puzzles. A. This situation is not so serious as you think. B. Listen to the entire song without interruption! C. However, using a song to avoid anxiety is not healthy. D. Technically, it’s known as “involuntary musical imagery”. E. Nervous people are more likely to listen to a song repeatedly. F. In fact, songs with strong emotional ties are losing their appeal. G. Listening to a song several times can be harmless for most people. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I grew up across the road from a 4-H camp.

I became more and more depressed because I was always the new kid in class, the one who didn’t know what chapter we were working on or what project was due next week. I was always playing catch- up and trying to fit in. Worse than that was trying to make new friends wherever we moved. There were those popular students who had known each other since grade school, and then there were the academically or athletically outstanding individuals who just didn’t seem to interest me. I wasn’t athletic and didn’t excel at anything, really. I was just an average high school kid looking for friends. The more I thought, the angrier I was. Deep down inside, I knew my parents loved me, but it wasn’t enough. “That’s it!” I screamed one day as I ran up the stairs to my room. Throwing open my dresser drawers, I pulled out a clean T- shirt and jeans, threw them in my backpack and ran back down the steps. Mom and Dad stood there, looking like they were in shock. “Where are you going?” Mom asked, her voice filled with concern. “Anywhere but here!” I shouted as I ran out the door. They weren’t fast enough to grab me, and I slipped away into the darkness of the night. It was cold, but my hot temp er warmed me, and I didn’t feel it. Not at first, anyway. I hit the streets and took a taxi. I knew it wasn’t safe, but I didn’t care. It was the only way I knew, at fourteen years old, to escape from them. As the city sights rushed by outside the taxi window, I eventually found myself curled up (蜷成一团) on a park bench closest to the comforting shelter of a streetlight. With my arms wrapped tightly around myself for warmth, I wept silent tears. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Two or more hours later, a familiar voice broke through the silence. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally arrived home, Mom was waiting anxiously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2025-2026学年高三上期12月测试（一） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 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?

As a young man, I have always been imagining moving to Los Angeles one day and putting my whole heart into music. Of course, at the time this seemed like a very distant hope, but thanks to my fans, supporters and wife, I’m here today. First, I released three twelve song records, which slowly gained attention around my home town in northern England and some nearby regions like Scotland and Ireland. And now my latest project, which was just a single song, caught the world’s attention. For that, I’d say it only happened because I refused to give up. Through the ups and downs in my career, I did it all for the love of music, so being recognized for this award means a lot to me. To all the young musicians out there, you can do it too. Plus, to all the fans and anyone enjoying my music, I’ve done this for you. This award is for all of us. May many more great things come in the future. Now put your hands together for our host Bob Ackerman with the next award. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Nowadays, moviegoers are no longer content with merely watching the show on screen, and eager to step into the scenes and experience the daily lives of characters.

A popular movie or TV drama has the power to make a city famous and generate a tourism boom.(如今，电影观众不再满足于仅仅在屏幕上观看节目，他们渴望走进场景，体验角色的日常生活。一部热门电影或电视剧有能力让一个城市闻名并带动旅游业的发展。)”可知，文章主要介绍了电影和电视剧如何影响旅游业，并给出了几个具体的例子来说明这种趋势。因此，文章的主要目的是介绍一种旅游趋势，即电影和电视剧对旅游业的影响。故选A。 B The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin. Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t. But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water. That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. 24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss. C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming. 25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ . A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance 26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving? A. Hesitant and fearful. B. Restless but joyful. C. Proud and contented. D. Afraid but resolute. 27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A. Do not judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在一次与父亲去海湾游泳的经历中，重新找回了对水的热爱，并开始努力克服对外貌的过度关注，重新接受自己。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. (爸爸跳进水中，溅起一片水花，向我们狭窄海湾的边缘游去。突然间，我被一种强烈的羡慕感所淹没，我做了多年来从未做过的事情：我屏住呼吸，把头埋进了水里)”可知，父亲跳进水里游泳，这让作者很羡慕，于是作者也做了自己多年没做过的事，把头埋进了水里，可得出作者的父亲的行为激发了她，故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. (我害怕。长期以来，我一直在与无用的治疗和青少年女孩对外貌的压力作斗争，我变得完全依赖于我的化妆品。我需要完全控制我的外貌，而游泳意味着会冲走这种控制)”可知，作者避免游泳是因为她对自己的外貌缺乏安全感，怕游泳毁掉妆容，故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. (我带着所有同样的恐惧回到了岸上，但我穿上了改变事情的新决心。我感觉到潮水转向了)”可知，作者带着同样的恐惧回到岸边，但是作者下定决心要改变，所以作者虽然仍然害怕，但变得更加坚定，故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. (我会沉入水下，拥抱那种恐惧、快乐和解放的浪潮)”可知，作者重新找回了对水的热爱，并开始努力克服对外貌的过度关注，重新接受自己，她想要传达的信息是自我接受是最大的礼物，故选B项。 C Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar. A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day. The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device. Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis. “The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.” Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power. The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate. “I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.” 28. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process. B. The high-frequency wave transmission technique. C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection. D. The technical principle underlying the system. 29. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest? A. The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized. B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed. C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted. D. The radar system’s practicality is proven. 30. What does the follow-up study focus on? A. Improving skin-based glucose quantification. B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology. C. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis. D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly. 31. What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Doubtful. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了滑铁卢大学研究人员正在开发的一种新技术，用于帮助糖尿病患者摆脱每天多次采血监测血糖的痛苦。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的“The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers.(正在开发的系统使用无线电探测设备将高频无线电波发送到含有不同水平葡萄糖的液体中，并接收被反射回来的无线电波。然后，反射波的信息被转换成数字数据，供研究人员开发的机器学习人工智能进行分析。)”可知，这一段主要描述了系统的技术原理。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.”(“结果真的很惊人，”Shaker说。“我们已经证明，利用无线电探测系统检查血液来检测变化是可能的。”)”可知，Shaker的话表明了该无线电探测系统的可行性和实用性得到了证明。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging.(接下来的步骤包括增强系统以精确量化血糖水平，并通过皮肤获得结果，这使得该过程更具挑战性。)”可知，后续研究的重点是改进通过皮肤获取精确血糖水平的方法，即“优化基于皮肤的血糖定量检测技术”。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.”(Shaker说：“我希望在未来五年内，我们能在市场上看到可穿戴设备。虽然存在挑战，但研究一直在以非常好的速度进行。”)”可知，Shaker对研究持认可的态度。故选C项。 D In the Alps and Apennines of southern Europe, longhorn beetles are moving uphill, and a rare brown butterfly with orange-tipped wings is facing extinction due to isolation (隔离) at high peaks. This is a picture of a global trend. With temperatures rising and pressure on biodiversity growing, insects vital to our ecosystems are not only moving north and south, but up. Research shows many animals are making similar moves, but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year, with some species making significantly greater journeys. All of this shows the speed of climate change and its ecological impacts at higher altitudes (海拔). In ecology, finding the “smoking gun” to neatly explain any phenomenon is generally difficult. Prof. Christy McCain, who runs Colorado University’s Mountain Lab, said: “One thing that people don’t think about as much is context: how climate affects insects at different life stages, such as eggs and larvae (幼虫). Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change, especially in cold and dry mountain environments.” McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding, with too many museum specimens (标本) from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths (蛾) have been neglected. To support her view, she cites research on carrion beetles by a student in her lab. The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these impacts, which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions. Their long history since the Cretaceous (白垩纪) also aids their adaptation today. There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change. For some groups, it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are, the better their chances. There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove a saving grace. 32. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees are mentioned because ______. A. they are more mobile than other insects B. they have adapted well to higher altitudes C. they are a useful indicator of climate change D. they face extinction due to upward movement 33. Which statement may McCain agree with according to paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Study context is beyond grasp. B. Research data are hard to obtain. C. Insect samples are unrepresentative. D. Collection method is unconventional. 34. Why does McCain cite research on carrion beetles? A. To argue for their sensitivity to environmental changes. B. To call for the protection of insects from higher altitudes. C. To redirect focus from insects moving uphill to those downhill. D. To offer new insights into insects’ adaptation to climate change. 35. What does “a saving grace” in the last paragraph mean? A. A method used to collect data. B. A problem that needs to be solved. C. A feature that helps improve a situation. D. A type of insect that adapts well to change. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着气温上升和生物多样性压力增大，昆虫向高海拔迁移这一全球趋势，分析了研究中存在的问题，并提及不同昆虫对气候变化的适应情况。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Research shows many animals are making similar moves, but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year, with some species making significantly greater journeys. All of this shows the speed of climate change and its ecological impacts at higher altitudes. (研究表明，许多动物都在做出类似的迁移，但昆虫的高机动性和短代际时间使它们能够迅速对变化做出反应。比利牛斯山脉的大黄蜂平均每年向上迁移超过一米，一些物种的迁移距离明显更远。所有这些都显示了气候变化的速度及其在高海拔地区的生态影响。)”可知，提到比利牛斯山脉的大黄蜂的向上迁移是因为它们能反映气候变化的情况，是气候变化的一个有用指标。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One thing that people don’t think about as much is context: how climate affects insects at different life stages, such as eggs and larvae. Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change, especially in cold and dry mountain environments. (人们不太考虑的一件事是背景：气候如何影响昆虫在不同生命阶段，如卵和幼虫。在夏天测量成虫可能无法揭示气候变化最关键的影响，尤其是在寒冷干燥的山区环境中。)”和第四段中“McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding, with too many museum specimens from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths have been neglected. (麦凯恩认为，历史上的数据收集方式阻碍了他们的理解，博物馆里来自低海拔地区的标本太多，而来自高海拔地区的标本太少。除了蝴蝶和飞蛾之外的许多类群都被忽视了。)”可知，麦凯恩认为在夏天测量成虫可能无法揭示气候变化最关键的影响，且来自低海拔地区的标本太多，所以昆虫样本不能很好地代表整体情况，缺乏全面性和代表性。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。第四段中“McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding, with too many museum specimens (标本) from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths (蛾) have been neglected. (麦凯恩认为，历史上收集数据的方式防碍了他们的理解，因为博物馆里有太多来自低海拔地区的标本，而来自高海拔地区的标本则少得多。而除了蝴蝶和飞蛾之外的许多类群都被忽视了。)”麦凯恩提出“在昆虫适应气候变化的相关研究中，除了蝴蝶和飞蛾之外的许多类群都被忽视了”这一观点，而第五段中“To support her view, she cites research on carrion beetles by a student in her lab. The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these impacts, which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions. Their long history since the Cretaceous also aids their adaptation today. (为了支持她的观点，她引用了她实验室里一名学生对埋葬虫的研究。研究表明，在这些影响中，气候耐受性可能会遗传下来，这在分解过程中起着关键作用，并保护它们免受极端条件的影响。它们自白垩纪以来的悠久历史也有助于它们如今的适应。)”麦凯恩引用了对埋葬虫的研究来证明自己的观点，即提供关于昆虫适应气候变化的新领悟。故选D项。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。上文“There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change. For some groups, it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are, the better their chances. (没有一种标准的昆虫或对环境变化的标准反应。对于一些群体来说，可能是它们越大、越具移动性，生存机会就越好。)”说明昆虫适应环境变化的情况各不相同，接着“There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove a saving grace. (也没有通用的高地栖息地，这也可能被证明是一种……)”提到也没有通用的高地栖息地。鉴于昆虫适应环境存在困难的情况下，“this too could prove a saving grace”说明这种没有通用高地栖息地的情况反而可能成为帮助改善昆虫适应环境现状的一个因素。所以“a saving grace”指的是有助于改善现状的一个特征，与C项“A feature that helps improve a situation.”意思相近。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We may have the experience of keeping our favorite song replaying itself in our minds.

I became more and more depressed because I was always the new kid in class, the one who didn’t know what chapter we were working on or what project was due next week. I was always playing catch- up and trying to fit in. Worse than that was trying to make new friends wherever we moved. There were those popular students who had known each other since grade school, and then there were the academically or athletically outstanding individuals who just didn’t seem to interest me. I wasn’t athletic and didn’t excel at anything, really. I was just an average high school kid looking for friends. The more I thought, the angrier I was. Deep down inside, I knew my parents loved me, but it wasn’t enough. “That’s it!” I screamed one day as I ran up the stairs to my room. Throwing open my dresser drawers, I pulled out a clean T- shirt and jeans, threw them in my backpack and ran back down the steps. Mom and Dad stood there, looking like they were in shock. “Where are you going?” Mom asked, her voice filled with concern. “Anywhere but here!” I shouted as I ran out the door. They weren’t fast enough to grab me, and I slipped away into the darkness of the night. It was cold, but my hot temp er warmed me, and I didn’t feel it. Not at first, anyway. I hit the streets and took a taxi. I knew it wasn’t safe, but I didn’t care. It was the only way I knew, at fourteen years old, to escape from them. As the city sights rushed by outside the taxi window, I eventually found myself curled up (蜷成一团) on a park bench closest to the comforting shelter of a streetlight. With my arms wrapped tightly around myself for warmth, I wept silent tears. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Two or more hours later, a familiar voice broke through the silence. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally arrived home, Mom was waiting anxiously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Two or more hours later, a familiar voice broke through the silence. It was Dad. I didn’t know how he found me, but I was glad he did. After showing concern and making sure I was okay, he then drove me back home without saying any more. I could tell from his face that he felt responsible for my anger and sadness, which made me realize that I hadn’t appreciated all the things he had done for our family. He moved us around in an attempt to offer us a better life. He was not at fault. When we finally arrived home, Mom was waiting anxiously. As soon as I stepped inside, she opened her arms wide and I fell into her embrace. Dad joined in and hugged both of us. Normally, I would have pulled away, but this time I didn’t. I saw tears in their eyes and it hit me all at once how much they loved me. They were making every effort to create a brighter future for our family. So why couldn’t I change my attitude, make the most of my new school and befriend my classmates? I believed tomorrow would be a great day. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了一个频繁转学的高中生因为不适应新环境而感到沮丧和愤怒，甚至离家出走。然而，在父母找到他并带他回家后，他深刻体会到了父母对他的爱和为家庭付出的努力。这让他意识到自己的态度需要改变，决定积极面对新的学校和同学，相信未来会变得更好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两个多小时后，一个熟悉的声音打破了沉默。”可知，第一段可描写父亲找到了作者并开车送作者回家，以及描述作者的个人想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们终于到家时，妈妈焦急地等着我们。”可知，第二段可描写母亲在家中焦急地等待，以及描写看到作者归来后，母亲和父亲的反应，以及作者的最终感悟。 2.续写线索： 父亲找到作者——开车送作者回家——在路上作者的自我反思——妈妈焦急等待——一家人相拥——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①确保：make sure/ensure ②.明白：realize/understand ③走进来：step inside/walk into 情绪类 ①.悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②.开心的：glad/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
