At 65, I thought we’d be planning trips, not picking up dog hair. I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the scruffy mutt with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake. Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a frantic creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the mocking question, “Who’s walking who?” Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting “Casey” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together. Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking of his tags keeping time with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love. The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath. This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home. 4. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog? A. Resistant. B. Frustrated. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 5. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning? A. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. B. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. C. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach. 6. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Fade. B. Cease. C. Unfold. D. Develop. 7. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey? A. A positive attitude. B. A close friendship. C. A sense of belonging. D. A cure for restlessness. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从最初对收养流浪犬Casey的抗拒，到因训练理解其猎犬天性，最终通过共同成长获得爱与内心平静。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the mocking question, “Who’s walking who?” (我感到筋疲力尽且挫败，常听到嘲讽的问题：“到底是谁在遛谁？”)”可知，作者最初遛狗时感到很沮丧。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. (年轻的训狗师Laurie带来了希望。她解释说Casey生来就是捕猎的猎犬。)”可知，Casey的不良行为源于他无法抗拒探索的猎犬天性。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking of his tags keeping time with my steps. (我们开始一起散步，不再是敌人，而是一个团队。我学会了他的习惯，他开始对我的声音作出反应。不断的拉扯变成了一种温和的节奏，除了偶尔兴奋的猛拽，他的狗牌叮当作响，与我的脚步保持同步。)”可知，作者可以很好地和Casey一起散步，配合默契，说明之前的混乱开始平息，画线词意思是“减弱，减轻”，与Fade“逐渐消失”意思接近。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath. (然而，最好的礼物是平和。我一直睡得不安稳。一个不眠之夜，我发现Casey在沙发上睡得很熟，呼吸很深，很平静。我把头靠在他温暖的胸膛上，第一次感觉到我的忧虑随着他平稳的呼吸而消融。)”可知，作者从Casey那里收到的最好的礼物是治疗焦虑不安的方法。故选D项。 C No offense to you, but scientists have found that mosquitoes may find your feet as appealing as Limburger cheese. If that’s you, don’t panic-it doesn’t mean you’re not washing them enough. Mosquitoes are simply attracted by certain DNA. A research team out of London recently investigated the genetic role in mosquito attraction by testing the bite appeal of 18 identical and 19 fraternal (异卵的) pairs of female twins. In a series of tests, 20 hungry mosquitoes were released into the end of a Y-shaped tube and allowed to choose whether to follow their noses left or right. Down either path was one twin’s hand, releasing its delicious natural odors (气味) but protected from bites behind a screen. After testing all 37 twin pairs, scientists found that the identical twins had consistently more similar attraction scores than the fraternal ones did — specifically, 67 percent of a person’s insect attractiveness had to do with her genes. So what’s the deal: Is DNA smelly? Thankfully, no. But specific DNA does attract unique species of micro-bacteria to your body — and those are what mosquitoes just can’t resist. Each of us, right now, is covered with about 100 trillion microbes (微生物), outnumbering our human DNA ten to one. Maybe stranger still: Scientists believe we share only a small part of these microbial species with one another, making our “microbiome” — the world of bacteria living in and on us — distinct, just like our fingerprints. In addition to producing many of the vitamins and chemicals in our blood, our microbiome is thought to be responsible for most of our distinct odors as well. Different mosquitoes prefer different smells from different parts of the body, and those smells come from chemicals produced by our microbiomes. So the next time a group of hungry mosquitoes flying around your cousin but leaves you bite-free, thank your DNA for the world of microscopic creatures on your skin that produce just the right smell to make the mosquitoes dizzy. 8. What is the main reason why some people are more attractive to mosquitoes than others? A. They have a specific type of DNA. B. They don’t wash their hands enough. C. They eat too much Limberger cheese. D. They have some especially smelly DNA. 9. What was the primary method used by researchers in London in their study? A. Measuring the amount of sweat produced by twins. B. Comparing the bacteria on the hands of the 37 twins. C. Releasing mosquitoes into a tube to follow their noses. D. Observing mosquitoes’ behavior in a natural environment. 10. Why is our microbiome compared to our fingerprints in paragraph 4? A. They both need vitamins. B. They are both unique to us. C. They both contain the same chemicals. D. They are both responsible for our odors. 11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Why mosquitoes are smelly? B. How mosquito bites harm us? C. Why mosquitoes find you irresistible? D. How mosquito bites are hard to discover? 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究发现蚊子对某些人的吸引力与基因相关，具体而言是特定DNA吸引的独特微生物产生的气味吸引了蚊子，并解释了微生物组与人体气味及蚊子吸引力的关系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Mosquitoes are simply attracted by certain DNA.(蚊子只是被特定的 DNA 所吸引)” 和第三段中“But specific DNA does attract unique species of micro-bacteria to your body — and those are what mosquitoes just can’t resist.(但特定的 DNA 确实会吸引独特的微生物种类到你的身体上 —— 而这些正是蚊子无法抗拒的)” 可知，有些人更吸引蚊子的主要原因是他们有特定类型的 DNA。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a series of tests, 20 hungry mosquitoes were released into the end of a Y-shaped tube and allowed to choose whether to follow their noses left or right. Down either path was one twin’s hand, releasing its delicious natural odors but protected from bites behind a screen.(在一系列测试中，20只饥饿的蚊子被放入一个Y形管的末端，让它们选择向左或向右追随气味。每条路径的尽头都是一个双胞胎的手，释放出诱人的自然气味，但被屏风保护着不会被叮咬)” 可知，伦敦研究人员的主要研究方法是将蚊子放入管中让它们追随气味。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第段段中“Scientists believe we share only a small part of these microbial species with one another, making our ‘microbiome’ — the world of bacteria living in and on us — distinct, just like our fingerprints.（科学家们认为，我们彼此之间共享的这些微生物种类很少，这使得我们的‘微生物组’—— 生活在我们体内和体表的细菌世界 —— 像我们的指纹一样独特)” 可知，微生物组被比作指纹是因为它们对我们而言都是独特的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合文第一段中“Mosquitoes are simply attracted by certain DNA.(蚊子只是被特定的 DNA 所吸引)”可知，文章围绕为什么有些人更吸引蚊子展开，解释了背后的原因 —— 特定DNA吸引的微生物产生的气味吸引蚊子，C 选项 “Why mosquitoes find you irresistible?(为什么蚊子对你无法抗拒)”可以作为本文的最佳标题 。故选C。 D Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U.S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936 and found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like, well, losers. It tends to lower motivation and increase stress. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves and, thus, happier. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 12. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Silver medalists showed less happiness than bronze winners. B. Silver medalists’ smiling frequency was close to that of gold medalists. C. The average bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. The emotions of both medalists were unchanged from the events to the podium. 13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Try to be the best in every field. C. Commit to one’s consistent personal growth. D. Strengthen the motivation to obtain achievement. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C. The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现铜牌获得者在幸福程度和长寿方面是真正的赢家，因为银牌得主将自己看作第一个失败者，他们向上比较，而铜牌得主将自己与所有那些没得奖的人比较，他们向下比较。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (讲台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists.(研究人员慢动作镜头捕捉了紧跟比赛结束后和稍后在颁奖台上的情况，发现铜牌获得者的平均表现的开心程度一直高于银牌获得者。超过80%的铜牌获得者展现出真诚的笑容，这一数字几乎是银牌获得者的两倍。此外，每位铜牌获得者的笑容都比银牌获得者的平均笑容持续的时间长。)”可知，1995年的研究发现铜牌得主比银牌得主表现得更开心，也就是说银牌得主没有铜牌得主表现得开心。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison.(这项研究对这种差异有一个方便的解释：“不令人满意的比赛结果可能会对健康产生不利影响。”换句话说，银牌获得者认为自己是第一个失败者，因为他们仰望最高台阶，只将自己与金牌获得者进行比较，而铜牌获得者则将自己与所有从未登上领奖台的人进行比较。这一理论表明了向上和向下社会比较之间的差异。)”可知，奖牌得主寿命的差异反映了不同奖牌得主向上和向下社会比较之间的心理差异。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you.(这里起作用的原则是努力提高自己过去的表现，你唯一需要与之比较的人就是你自己。)”可知，要致力于提高自我，与自己比较，由此可推测，作者建议要致力于个人的不断成长。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity.(虽然第二名可能是第一个失败者，但在幸福和长寿方面，第三名可能是真正的赢家。)”可知，本文主要讲述了第三名在幸福和长寿方面是真正的赢家，并通过研究证实这一观点，反映了他们向上和向下社会比较的心理差异，呼吁专注自我提高、与自己比较。所以A项“第三名的胜利”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 第二节七选五(共5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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Extend Your Smartphone Battery Life Smartphone batteries naturally get worse over time, but good daily habits can slow this process and lengthen daily usage. Small, regular changes — from charging routines to daily use — effectively protect battery health. Below are four practical ways to maximize your battery’s lifespan. Stick to moderate charging ranges Avoid extreme battery levels: don’t let it drop below 20% or stay at 100% for hours. Lithium-ion batteries work best between 30% and 80%, so charge at 30% and stop at 80% instead of full cycles. ___16___, which caps overnight charging at 80% to prevent harmful overcharging. Keep the battery cool ___17___. Never leave your phone in direct sunlight or hot cars, and keep it away from laptops or heat sources. Shut down gaming or heavy apps that produce much heat, and take off the case if the phone warms up while charging to release heat quickly. ___18___ Lower screen brightness or use auto-brightness, and set screen timeout to 30 seconds or 1 minute. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi when unused, and limit background app refresh — many apps consume power silently. It’s wise to skip high- performance modes unless necessary, which make the battery run out fast. Choose suitable charging devices Use the original charger or certified third- party ones that match your phone’s voltage (电压) and current. ___19___, so reserve it for emergencies. Wireless charging is gentler but still warms the device — ensure good cooling and avoid using the phone while charging wirelessly. By following these practices, you can extend your phone’s battery life by 1-2 years. Consistency is key, so make it a habit to protect the battery’s internal structure. ___20___. A. Adjust daily usage habits B. Ignore background app refresh C. Heat is a battery’s worst enemy D. You’d better preserve your battery health E. Turn on your phone’s battery enhancement tool F. Fast charging is convenient but generates extra heat G. Little daily efforts extend your phone’s charging ability and reliability 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了如何延长你的手机电池寿命。 【16题详解】 根据本句小标题“Stick to moderate charging ranges (保持适中充电区间)”以及上文“Avoid extreme battery levels: don’t let it drop below 20% or stay at 100% for hours. Lithium-ion batteries work best between 30% and 80%, so charge at 30% and stop at 80% instead of full cycles.(避免电池电量极端值：不要让电池电量低于20%，也不要长时间保持在100%。锂离子电池在30%至80% 的电量范围内工作效果最佳，因此应以30%的电量开始充电，并在80%的电量时停止充电，而非进行完全的充放电循环)”可知，前文建议“充电至30%开始80%停止”，后文补充“which caps overnight charging at 80% to prevent harmful overcharging.(可限制夜间充电至80%，避免过度充电)”——这一功能需通过手机自带工具实现，E选项“启动您手机的电池优化工具”符合语境恰好衔接“自动限制充电上限”的操作，符合“实用方法”的语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据本句小标题“Keep the battery cool(保持电池凉爽)”以及后文“Never leave your phone in direct sunlight or hot cars, and keep it away from laptops or heat sources. Shut down gaming or heavy apps that produce much heat, and take off the case if the phone warms up while charging to release heat quickly.(切勿将手机置于直射阳光下或高温环境中，也请远离笔记本电脑或热源。关闭会产生大量热量的游戏或耗电较大的应用程序，如果手机在充电时发热，可取下保护套以加快散热)”可知，本段核心是“保持电池凉爽”，首句需点明核心观点。C选项“高温是电池的头号敌人”直接点题，后文“避免阳光直射、远离热源、关闭发热apps”等措施均围绕“降温防热”展开，首尾呼应。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Lower screen brightness or use auto-brightness, and set screen timeout to 30 seconds or 1 minute. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi when unused, and limit background app refresh — many apps consume power silently. It’s wise to skip high- performance modes unless necessary, which make the battery run out fast.(降低屏幕亮度或启用自动亮度调节功能，并将屏幕休眠时间设置为30秒或1分钟。在不使用时关闭蓝牙、GPS 和 Wi-Fi功能，并限制后台应用刷新——许多应用程序在不使用时也会默默消耗电量。除非必要，否则最好避免使用高性能模式，因为这种模式会使电池很快耗尽)”可知，本段列举的“降低屏幕亮度、设置自动锁屏、关闭闲置功能、限制后台刷新”均属于“日常使用习惯调整”，A选项“调整日常使用习惯”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Use the original charger or certified third- party ones that match your phone’s voltage (电压) and current.(请使用原装充电器，或者使用与您手机电压和电流相匹配的经过认证的第三方充电器)”可知，前文建议“使用原装或认证充电器”，后文“so reserve it for emergencies(因此仅在紧急情况使用)”暗示该充电方式有弊端。“Fast charging is convenient but generates extra heat(快充虽便捷，但会产生额外热量)”既说明快充的优势，又点出“发热”的缺点，与后文“紧急情况才使用”形成因果逻辑（因发热伤电池，故少用）。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“By following these practices, you can extend your phone’s battery life by 1-2 years. Consistency is key, so make it a habit to protect the battery’s internal structure.(按照这些方法操作，可以将手机的电池寿命延长1到2年。保持一贯性至关重要，所以要养成保护电池内部结构的习惯)”可知，前文强调“坚持这些做法可延长电池1到2年寿命”，结尾需总结“日常习惯的重要性”。G选项“日常的微小努力能提升手机的充电能力和可靠性”呼应开篇“good daily habits can slow this process”，升华主题。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空(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。 Mark had struggled with his weight for years. Gym sessions and diets came and went, but he ____21____ nothing. One year he’d lose 15 pounds, only to gain 20 back. But this year was different. He ____22____ attainable goals: walking 3 times a week. “Small steps,” he told himself. “So I can ____23____.” At 7:00 a.m., he headed out for a walk. At first, climbing the hill by his house left him ____24____. But by March, he noticed his jeans fitting looser. The scale showed a 10-pound loss. “I’m ____25____,” he thought. Near his route, an elderly woman named Carter would walk her dog, Buddy. They’d exchange ____26____ smiles each time they met. That was the only extent of their ____27____, never more than a wave. But Mark admired she’d ____28____ walked Buddy. He’d seen her doing that, even on rainy mornings. Then one Tuesday, Carter stopped, ____29____, “Mark, you’ re looking stronger.

For many viewers, an eight-year wait may seem excessively long. However, in the field of animation production, this actually fits the normal cycle for ____37____ quality sequel (续集). This “delay” is not due to inefficiency but springs from the relentless ____38____ (pursue) of creative quality. Every step — from story conception and character design to technical execution — requires ____39____ (repeat) refinement. Especially after the tremendous success of the first film, the creative team faces higher expectations and pressure ____40____ (perfect) the sequel, struggling to strike a balance between innovation and legacy. The 2016 Zootopia amazed the world with its stunning attention to detail. The texture rendering (质感渲染) of animal fur, the environment construction of different climate zones, ____41____ the precise control of urban scale all represented the highest standard of CG animation at the time. Over the intervening eight years, real-time rendering technology and AI-assisted production ____42____ (make) groundbreaking progress. This suggests the sequel could achieve a qualitative leap ____43____ image complexity, lighting realism and large-scale crowd animation. The audience might see a more vivid and detailed Zootopia, ____44____ even the subtlest expression changes and fur movement could look incredibly real. Zootopia became a classic not only for its exquisite production but also for its clever exploration of profound themes like prejudice and inclusion, dreams and reality. How the sequel deepens this social commentary will be its ____45____ (big) highlight. 【答案】36. swept 37. a 38. pursuit 39. repeated##repetitive 40. to perfect 41. and 42. have made 43. in 44. where 45. biggest 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了电影《疯狂动物城2》的制作背景、技术进展以及其作为续集所承载的期待。文章讲述了该续集漫长的制作周期是追求高品质的正常体现，回顾了第一部电影在细节和技术上的成就，并展望了新技术可能为续集带来的视觉飞跃和主题深化的可能性。 【36题详解】 考查时态。句意：曾在全球引起轰动的现象级动画电影《疯狂动物城2》，定于2025年冬季再度唤醒观众的记忆。句中“once”表示“曾经”，指过去发生的动作，因此从句需用一般过去时。动词“sweep”的过去式为“swept”。故填swept。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：然而，在动画制作领域，这实际上符合一部高质量续集的正常周期。“sequel”为可数名词单数，且此处首次提及，表示泛指“一部续集”，其前需加不定冠词。因quality以辅音音素开头，故用a。故填a。 38题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种“延迟”并非效率低下，而是源于对创作质量的不懈追求。介词from后需要名词性成分作宾语。the relentless是形容词，后应接名词，作宾语。pursue是动词，其名词形式为pursuit。故填pursuit。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：从故事构思、角色设计到技术执行的每一步，都需要反复的打磨。refinement是名词，前面应用形容词修饰。repeat是动词，其形容词形式repeated/repetitive意为“反复的，一再的”，符合句意。故填repeated/repetitive。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：特别是在第一部电影取得巨大成功之后，创作团队面临着更高的期望和完美续集的压力。名词pressure后常用不定式作后置定语，表示“做某事的压力”。动词perfect意为“使完美”。故填to perfect。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：动物毛发的质感渲染、不同气候区的环境构建，以及对城市规模的精准把控，都代表了当时CG动画的最高水准。此处连接三个并列的名词短语“The texture rendering...”、“the environment construction...”和“the precise control...”，表示列举的追加，应用并列连词and。故填and。 【42题详解】 考查时态。句意：在过去的八年里，实时渲染技术和AI辅助制作已经取得了突破性进展。时间状语“Over the intervening eight years”表示从过去某时持续到现在的一段时间，强调对现在的影响或结果，应用现在完成时。主语technology and...production为复数，助动词用have。故填have made。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：这意味着续集可能在图像复杂度、光照真实感和大规模群组动画方面实现质的飞跃。表示“在……方面”取得飞跃或进步，常用介词“in”。“a leap in...”为常见搭配。故填in。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：观众可能会看到一个更加生动细致的动物城，在那里，即使是最细微的表情变化和毛发运动都可能看起来无比真实。此处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“a more vivid and detailed Zootopia”。从句结构完整（主谓宾），但缺少地点状语，先行词在逻辑上表示地点，故应用关系副词where引导，在从句中作地点状语。故填where。 【45题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：续集将如何深化这种社会评论，将是其最大的亮点。空格前有定冠词the，且根据句意，此处是将“深化社会评论”这一点与续集的其他方面进行比较，强调其突出程度，应用形容词的最高级。big是原级，其最高级为“biggest”。故填biggest。 第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节应用文写作(满分15分) 46. 假如你是李华，你的英国朋友John在网上看到中国学生做眼保健操（eye exercises）的视频后觉得很好奇，发邮件来询问相关情况，请你给他回复邮件。内容包括： (1)对眼保健操的简单介绍； (2)你对做眼保健操的看法。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 参考词汇： massage (按摩)， acupoint (穴位) Dear John, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I hope my words can solve your puzzle.

The first thing he noticed when he joined the class last semester was the old wooden easel (画架) by the window. Ms Morgan had talked about it so often that every student knew its story-it was a gift from her dearest workmate, Mrs Hale, who retired after 30years of teaching art here. That easel was more than just wood and nails. It was covered with tiny signatures of students from past years-from the kids who’d gone on to study art in college. Every morning, Ms Morgan would wipe its surface with a soft cloth, careful not to damage the names. Last month, when a rainstorm leaked through the window, she’d rushed to move it to safety, saying, ”This easel’s held more dreams than any textbook in this room.” As Vince carried a box of paintbrushes and a tube of paint, he tripped slightly, and his left arm crashed into the easel. It fell down! One of the easel’s legs, which had been joined with wood glue, broke into two pieces. Some signatures on the easel were also defaced (污损). His heart sank like a stone. He dropped to his knees, fingers brushing the familiar signatures, and felt a cold panic spread through his back. His mum had told him once about a time she’d broken her neighbor’s plant pot as a kid and hidden it-she’d felt guilty for weeks, her stomach hurting every time she passed the neighbor’s yard. “Avoiding the truth doesn’t fix what’s broken,” she’d said. Vince replayed that line in his head, but the thought of Ms Morgan’s sad face made his throat tight. He stood up, staring at the broken leg, and even considered dragging the easel into the storage room-maybe no one would find it right away. All afternoon, he sat through math and history class with that image stuck in his head, unable to focus on anything. 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。 Paragraph 1: By the end of school, Vince dragged his feet to Ms Morgan’s office. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling a weight lifted, Vince followed Ms Morgan’s advice to repair the easel together. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: By the end of school, Vince dragged his feet to Ms Morgan’s office. His heart was pounding loud. When Ms Morgan looked up from her papers, he said in a low voice, “I broke the easel — I tripped with paintbrushes and hit it. I’m so sorry. I know how much it means to you.” He stared at his shoes, waiting for anger, but Ms Morgan stood up and spoke softly. She told him she wasn’t angry, but proud he’d been honest, adding the easel was special, but honesty more precious, and suggested they fix it together with wood glue and paint. Feeling a weight lifted, Vince followed Ms Morgan’s advice to repair the easel together. They went to the art room. Vince fetched sandpaper to smooth broken leg’s edges, while Ms Morgan spread wood glue on pieces. She handed him a brush and they touched up defaced signatures with matching paint, then added a blue star by old ones. Vince said it still had a faint mark, and Ms Morgan smiled, “Honesty isn’t about never making mistakes. It’s about the courage to tell the truth when you do, and taking action to fix.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Vince在艺术课课后帮忙整理时，不小心碰倒了Morgan老师珍视的旧画架，这是退休同事Hale夫人所赠，上面有历届学生签名。Vince内心挣扎后最终选择向老师坦白，老师原谅并提议一起修复画架的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学时，Vince拖着沉重的脚步走向Morgan老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写Vince向老师坦白碰坏画架的过程、内心的紧张不安，以及老师的反应和提议。 ②由第二段首句内容“Vince感觉如释重负，听从Morgan老师的建议，和她一起修复画架。”可知，第二段可描写两人共同修复画架的具体过程，以及老师在过程中传递的关于诚实的道理。 2续写线索：坦白过错—内心紧张—老师谅解—提议修复—共同修复—感悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低声说：say in a low voice/whisper/murmur ②修复：fix/repair ③磨光：smooth/polish 情绪类 ①生气的：angry/irritated ②自豪的：proud/arrogant ③如释重负的：a weight lifted/relieved 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stared at his shoes, waiting for anger, but Ms Morgan stood up and spoke softly.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语) [高分句型2] She told him she wasn’t angry, but proud he’d been honest, adding the easel was special, but honesty more precious, and suggested they fix it together with wood glue and paint.(运用了多个省略that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省常州高级中学 2025~2026学年第一学期高二12月阶段检测 英语试卷 2025.12 说明：1.以下题目的答案请全部填写在答题卡上。 2.本卷总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B When my husband Paul persuaded me to adopt a dog, I was full of doubts. At 65, I thought we’d be planning trips, not picking up dog hair. I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the scruffy mutt with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake. Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a frantic creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the mocking question, “Who’s walking who?” Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting “Casey” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together. Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking of his tags keeping time with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love. The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath. This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home. 4. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog? A. Resistant. B. Frustrated. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 5. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning? A. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. B. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. C. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach. 6. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Fade. B. Cease. C. Unfold. D. Develop. 7. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey? A. A positive attitude. B. A close friendship. C. A sense of belonging. D. A cure for restlessness. C No offense to you, but scientists have found that mosquitoes may find your feet as appealing as Limburger cheese. If that’s you, don’t panic-it doesn’t mean you’re not washing them enough. Mosquitoes are simply attracted by certain DNA. A research team out of London recently investigated the genetic role in mosquito attraction by testing the bite appeal of 18 identical and 19 fraternal (异卵的) pairs of female twins. In a series of tests, 20 hungry mosquitoes were released into the end of a Y-shaped tube and allowed to choose whether to follow their noses left or right. Down either path was one twin’s hand, releasing its delicious natural odors (气味) but protected from bites behind a screen. After testing all 37 twin pairs, scientists found that the identical twins had consistently more similar attraction scores than the fraternal ones did — specifically, 67 percent of a person’s insect attractiveness had to do with her genes. So what’s the deal: Is DNA smelly? Thankfully, no. But specific DNA does attract unique species of micro-bacteria to your body — and those are what mosquitoes just can’t resist. Each of us, right now, is covered with about 100 trillion microbes (微生物), outnumbering our human DNA ten to one. Maybe stranger still: Scientists believe we share only a small part of these microbial species with one another, making our “microbiome” — the world of bacteria living in and on us — distinct, just like our fingerprints. In addition to producing many of the vitamins and chemicals in our blood, our microbiome is thought to be responsible for most of our distinct odors as well. Different mosquitoes prefer different smells from different parts of the body, and those smells come from chemicals produced by our microbiomes. So the next time a group of hungry mosquitoes flying around your cousin but leaves you bite-free, thank your DNA for the world of microscopic creatures on your skin that produce just the right smell to make the mosquitoes dizzy. 8. What is the main reason why some people are more attractive to mosquitoes than others? A. They have a specific type of DNA. B. They don’t wash their hands enough. C. They eat too much Limberger cheese. D. They have some especially smelly DNA. 9. What was the primary method used by researchers in London in their study? A. Measuring the amount of sweat produced by twins. B. Comparing the bacteria on the hands of the 37 twins. C. Releasing mosquitoes into a tube to follow their noses. D.

While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U.S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936 and found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like, well, losers. It tends to lower motivation and increase stress. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves and, thus, happier. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 12. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Silver medalists showed less happiness than bronze winners. B. Silver medalists’ smiling frequency was close to that of gold medalists. C. The average bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. The emotions of both medalists were unchanged from the events to the podium. 13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Try to be the best in every field. C. Commit to one’s consistent personal growth. D. Strengthen the motivation to obtain achievement. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists 第二节七选五(共5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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Extend Your Smartphone Battery Life Smartphone batteries naturally get worse over time, but good daily habits can slow this process and lengthen daily usage. Small, regular changes — from charging routines to daily use — effectively protect battery health. Below are four practical ways to maximize your battery’s lifespan. Stick to moderate charging ranges Avoid extreme battery levels: don’t let it drop below 20% or stay at 100% for hours. Lithium-ion batteries work best between 30% and 80%, so charge at 30% and stop at 80% instead of full cycles. ___16___, which caps overnight charging at 80% to prevent harmful overcharging. Keep the battery cool ___17___. Never leave your phone in direct sunlight or hot cars, and keep it away from laptops or heat sources. Shut down gaming or heavy apps that produce much heat, and take off the case if the phone warms up while charging to release heat quickly. ___18___ Lower screen brightness or use auto-brightness, and set screen timeout to 30 seconds or 1 minute. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi when unused, and limit background app refresh — many apps consume power silently. It’s wise to skip high- performance modes unless necessary, which make the battery run out fast. Choose suitable charging devices Use the original charger or certified third- party ones that match your phone’s voltage (电压) and current. ___19___, so reserve it for emergencies. Wireless charging is gentler but still warms the device — ensure good cooling and avoid using the phone while charging wirelessly. By following these practices, you can extend your phone’s battery life by 1-2 years. Consistency is key, so make it a habit to protect the battery’s internal structure. ___20___. A. Adjust daily usage habits B. Ignore background app refresh C. Heat is a battery’s worst enemy D. You’d better preserve your battery health E. Turn on your phone’s battery enhancement tool F. Fast charging is convenient but generates extra heat G. Little daily efforts extend your phone’s charging ability and reliability 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空(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。 Mark had struggled with his weight for years.

The first thing he noticed when he joined the class last semester was the old wooden easel (画架) by the window. Ms Morgan had talked about it so often that every student knew its story-it was a gift from her dearest workmate, Mrs Hale, who retired after 30years of teaching art here. That easel was more than just wood and nails. It was covered with tiny signatures of students from past years-from the kids who’d gone on to study art in college. Every morning, Ms Morgan would wipe its surface with a soft cloth, careful not to damage the names. Last month, when a rainstorm leaked through the window, she’d rushed to move it to safety, saying, ”This easel’s held more dreams than any textbook in this room.” As Vince carried a box of paintbrushes and a tube of paint, he tripped slightly, and his left arm crashed into the easel. It fell down! One of the easel’s legs, which had been joined with wood glue, broke into two pieces. Some signatures on the easel were also defaced (污损). His heart sank like a stone. He dropped to his knees, fingers brushing the familiar signatures, and felt a cold panic spread through his back. His mum had told him once about a time she’d broken her neighbor’s plant pot as a kid and hidden it-she’d felt guilty for weeks, her stomach hurting every time she passed the neighbor’s yard. “Avoiding the truth doesn’t fix what’s broken,” she’d said. Vince replayed that line in his head, but the thought of Ms Morgan’s sad face made his throat tight. He stood up, staring at the broken leg, and even considered dragging the easel into the storage room-maybe no one would find it right away. All afternoon, he sat through math and history class with that image stuck in his head, unable to focus on anything. 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。 Paragraph 1: By the end of school, Vince dragged his feet to Ms Morgan’s office. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling a weight lifted, Vince followed Ms Morgan’s advice to repair the easel together. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
