However, after learning about U.S. colleges, I realized there was a way to pursue higher education and competitively play the sport I loved. When I arrived in the United States ready to participate in Division I basketball, I voiced my interest in chemistry. However, conversations with student-athletes further along in their programs left me with the impression that the intense demands for a STEM degree were conflicting with an athlete’s schedule. Nobody told me it was impossible, but nobody reassured me it was doable either. I set out intending to major in chemistry anyway and signed up for as many science classes as I could. But as the terms wore on I had to delay taking certain courses as it became increasingly difficult to fit multiple 3-hour labs into my schedule. When I could not complete enough chemistry coursework by the end of my second year to maintain athletic eligibility, I declared German as a major instead. Still, I kept up with my chemistry classes, focusing on courses I’d need for admission into a chemistry graduate program. It wasn’t easy, however. At a time when winning games was crucial, I had to do something equally important: pass my exams. Sitting on the team bus, I studied class notes and tackled problem sets, feeling conflicted about whether to prioritize my performance on the court or my academic work. The experience was stressful, but it allowed me to practice time management and learn how to balance competing demands. I realized then that rather than feeling embarrassed about not following a traditional path, I should instead celebrate that I had gained other skills, including proactive planning, resolution, and time management. These tools have helped me navigate (应对) a research environment, and also life in general. 4. What did the author learn from talking with student-athletes? A. International students would face tough choices. B. Balancing a STEM degree with sports was hard. C. Gaining STEM degrees were impossible for athletes. D. Science classes should be given priority over training. 5. Why did the author switch to German? A. He lost interest in chemistry. B. German was easier to master. C. He lacked sufficient chemistry credits. D. His graduate program forced him to do so. 6. How did the author find the experience according to paragraph 4? A. Pioneering and transformative. B. Satisfying and refreshing. C. Embarrassing but productive. D. Demanding but rewarding. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. I carved my own path B. Athletics aids academic studies C. Student-athletes should win recognition D. My passions found new expression at university 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者在美国大学兼顾篮球运动与化学学习，另辟蹊径实现个人成长的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, conversations with student-athletes further along in their programs left me with the impression that the intense demands for a STEM degree were conflicting with an athlete’s schedule.(然而，与那些在学业上更有进展的学生运动员交流后，我得到的印象是，STEM学位的严苛要求与运动员的日程安排相冲突)”可知，作者从交流中得知，平衡STEM专业学习和体育运动是很困难的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When I could not complete enough chemistry coursework by the end of my second year to maintain athletic eligibility, I declared German as a major instead.(到大二结束时，我没能完成足够的化学课程来保持运动员资格，于是我改选了德语作为专业)”可知，作者转专业是因为缺少足够的化学学分。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The experience was stressful, but it allowed me to practice time management and learn how to balance competing demands.(这段经历充满压力，但它让我锻炼了时间管理能力，学会了如何平衡相互冲突的需求)”可知，这段经历虽然要求高、有压力，但也带来了收获。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“I realized then that rather than feeling embarrassed about not following a traditional path, I should instead celebrate that I had gained other skills (那时我意识到，不必为没有走传统道路而感到尴尬，相反，我应该为自己获得了其他技能而庆幸)”可知，文章核心是作者没有遵循兼顾运动和STEM专业的常规路径，而是通过自己的方式平衡学业和爱好，收获成长。因此A项“我开辟了自己的道路”能概括文章主旨，适合做标题。故选A项。 C The Body Mass Index (BMI), calculated by dividing weight by height squared, can be used to classify individuals as underweight, normal, overweight, or obese. While large-scale studies sometimes associate high BMI with increased risks of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and type II diabetes, its reliability as an individual health indicator is increasingly questioned. A primary criticism is that BMI fails to differentiate between fat, muscle, and bone. Consequently, muscular athletes may be categorized as overweight despite low body fat, while individuals with a “normal” BMI might exhibit warning signs like high blood pressure. Moreover, the indicator originated primarily from data on white males, leading to potential misclassification among diverse ethnic groups, particularly women of color. Research indicates that nearly half of those labeled overweight and a quarter of those considered obese based on BMI actually demonstrate normal cardiovascular health condition. Beyond its technical shortcomings, the social and psychological impacts of BMI categorization are concerning. Shame attached to a high BMI can elevate stress hormones, which may worsen appetite and create a harmful cycle of stress and eating. Additionally, some patients report that their medical complaints are overlooked once they are labeled overweight. Despite these flaws, BMI persists due to its simplicity and ease of use in clinical and public health settings. However, alternative measures are gaining attention. Indicators such as waist circumference (腰围) or the Body Roundness Index (BRI) can better predict risks of chronic diseases. Advanced tools like MRI scans offer precise fat distribution analysis but remain less accessible. Ultimately, health cannot be reduced to a single number. Experts emphasize that well-being is complex, influenced by nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and genetic factors. As one researcher notes, there is no single “healthy” body type — a truth reflected in the varied figures of Olympic athletes. Thus, while BMI may offer a broad population-level glimpse, it should not be viewed as a definitive indicator of personal health. 8. According to the passage, what is a major shortcoming of BMI in assessing an individual’s health? A. It ignores the influence of diet. B. It can’t distinguish muscle from fat. C. It overlooks gender difference. D. It overestimates the risks for the elderly. 9. Why is BMI still widely used despite its shortcomings? A. It’s supported by long-term diverse studies. B. It’s regularly updated for accuracy. C. It accurately predicts chronic disease risks. D. It’s simple and convenient for basic use. 10. What can be inferred from the mention of Olympic athletes in the last paragraph? A. Fitness matters more than weight. B. Athletes shouldn’t use BMI for training. C. Different body types can be healthy. D. BMI is inaccurate for active individuals. 11. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage? A. Waist circumference is completely reliable. B. BMI can be used, but health is multidimensional. C. BMI should be replaced by advanced tools like MRI scans. D. Overweight patients feel ashamed to report their medical complaints. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出 BMI 虽可划分体重范围，但存在无法区分体脂肌肉等缺陷，还有不良社会心理影响，不过因简便仍被使用，强调健康需综合多因素判断。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A primary criticism is that BMI fails to differentiate between fat, muscle, and bone.(一个主要的批评意见是，BMI无法区分脂肪、肌肉和骨骼)”可知，BMI在评估个人健康状况时存在一个主要的缺陷是它无法区分肌肉、脂肪和骨骼。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite these flaws, BMI persists due to its simplicity and ease of use in clinical and public health settings.(尽管存在这些缺陷，但BMI仍得以延续，原因在于其在临床和公共卫生领域具有简便易用的特点)”可知，尽管BMI存在诸多缺陷，它仍被广泛使用是因为它简单易用，便于基本操作。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As one researcher notes, there is no single “healthy” body type — a truth reflected in the varied figures of Olympic athletes. Thus, while BMI may offer a broad population-level glimpse, it should not be viewed as a definitive indicator of personal health.(正如一位研究人员所指出的那样，不存在单一的“健康”体型——这一事实从奥运会运动员们的不同体型中便可见一斑。因此，尽管身体质量指数（BMI）可以提供一个针对广大人群的总体观察结果，但它不应被视为个人健康状况的绝对指标)”可知，不同的体型也可以是健康的。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite these flaws, BMI persists due to its simplicity and ease of use in clinical and public health settings.(尽管存在这些缺陷，但BMI仍得以延续，原因在于其在临床和公共卫生领域具有简便易用的特点)”以及最后一段“As one researcher notes, there is no single “healthy” body type — a truth reflected in the varied figures of Olympic athletes. Thus, while BMI may offer a broad population-level glimpse, it should not be viewed as a definitive indicator of personal health.(正如一位研究人员所指出的那样，不存在单一的“健康”体型——这一事实从奥运会运动员们的不同体型中便可见一斑。因此，尽管身体质量指数（BMI）可以提供一个针对广大人群的总体观察结果，但它不应被视为个人健康状况的绝对指标)”可知，原文既说明BMI因简便仍在使用，又强调健康是复杂的，受营养、运动等多种因素影响，因此BMI可以使用，但健康是多维的这一表述正确。故B选项“可以使用BMI指数，但健康状况是多方面的”正确。故选B。 D In a groundbreaking development for long-duration spaceflight, China’s Tiangong space station has introduced a specialized oven, enabling astronauts to enjoy hot, freshly prepared meals like never before. This innovation marks a significant step beyond the traditional pre-packaged space food, focusing on both the nutritional and psychological well-being of crew members. The newly delivered oven, which functions similarly to an air fryer, is designed specifically for the microgravity environment. In a released video, astronauts are seen securing chicken wings in a special grill cage and placing it into a small compartment. The device provides consistent and smokeless baking without overloading the station’s power grid (电网)—a critical consideration for orbital outposts like Tiangong and the International Space Station (ISS) that rely on strict fire safety agreements. The “sweet spot” for cooking chicken wings was found to be 28 minutes under these unique conditions. This achievement has been compared to a 2019 experiment on the International Space Station (ISS), where astronauts used a Zero G oven to bake cookies. While that test demonstrated that baking in space takes longer than on Earth, China’s oven is not a temporary experiment. It has been fully integrated into Tiangong’s systems and certified for up to 500 uses, indicating its role as a permanent facility aimed at improving the quality of life in space. Experts like Kang Guohua, a professor of aerospace engineering, emphasize that comforts such as hot meals are vital for keeping astronauts psychologically “grounded” during extended missions. The ability to prepare familiar and flavorful food not only enhances morale (士气) but also supports crew cohesion and performance. The introduction of this oven reflects China’s broader advancement in sustainable space habitation, where technology meets human needs in an extreme environment. It reflects a shift in space station design from mere survival to decent living, where even a simple “space BBQ” can symbolize comfort, innovation, and a touch of home far above Earth. 12. Why is it particularly important that the oven operates without producing smoke? A. Smoke affects food taste. B. Smoke disturbs experiments. C. Fire safety agreements exist. D. Astronauts are untrained for smoke. 13. What does the comparison between China’s oven and the 2019 ISS cookie-baking experiment imply? A. China’s oven can be permanent B. Both studied microgravity’s effect. C. China’s technology is far more advanced. D. The ISS oven aimed for long-term use but failed. 14. According to the passage, what is a key function of the oven besides cooking? A. It provides backup power. B. It provides mental comfort. C. It tests plant growth in space. D. It recycles water from cooking. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The ISS is falling behind in culinary technology. B. Chinese astronauts are the first to barbecue in space. C. Safety must be prioritized over comfort in food preparation. D. An oven improves technology and living comfort in space. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国天宫空间站引入的一款专用烤箱，该烤箱适配微重力环境，能让宇航员吃到现做热食，标志着空间站从满足生存需求向提升生活品质转变，体现了中国在可持续太空居住领域的技术进步。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The device provides consistent and smokeless baking without overloading the station’s power grid—a critical consideration for orbital outposts like Tiangong and the International Space Station (ISS) that rely on strict fire safety agreements.(该设备能实现持续稳定且无烟的烘烤，同时不会让空间站电网过载——这对于天宫和国际空间站这类依赖严格消防安全协议的轨道前哨站来说，是一项关键考量。)”可知，烤箱无烟运行尤为重要的原因是存在严格的消防安全协议。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“While that test demonstrated that baking in space takes longer than on Earth, China’s oven is not a temporary experiment. It has been fully integrated into Tiangong’s systems and certified for up to 500 uses, indicating its role as a permanent facility aimed at improving the quality of life in space.(尽管那次实验证明太空烘烤耗时比在地球更长，但中国的这款烤箱并非临时实验品。它已完全整合到天宫空间站的系统中，且被认证可使用多达500次，这表明它是一个旨在提升太空生活品质的永久性设施。)”可知，将中国的烤箱与2019年国际空间站烤饼干实验对比，暗示了中国的烤箱是永久性设备。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Experts like Kang Guohua, a professor of aerospace engineering, emphasize that comforts such as hot meals are vital for keeping astronauts psychologically “grounded” during extended missions.(航天工程教授康国华等专家强调，热餐这类舒适体验对于宇航员在长期任务中保持心理稳定至关重要。)”可知，除了烹饪，该烤箱的一个关键作用是为宇航员提供心理慰藉。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第1段“In a groundbreaking development for long-duration spaceflight, China’s Tiangong space station has introduced a specialized oven, enabling astronauts to enjoy hot, freshly prepared meals like never before.(在长期太空飞行的突破性进展中，中国天宫空间站引入了一款专用烤箱，让宇航员得以享用前所未有的现做热食。)”以及最后一段“It reflects a shift in space station design from mere survival to decent living(这体现了空间站设计从单纯的生存到体面的生活的转变)”可知，本文主旨是这款烤箱既体现了太空技术的进步，又提升了宇航员的太空生活舒适度。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Successfully Reinvent Yourself Reinventing yourself is not about making minor changes, but about diving into a new and better version of yourself.

She learned that the kind old grandpa was named Mr. Sharaf, who once clipped a rose from his garden and gave it to her. The little boy who often drew on the sidewalk with chalk was Ari. Bella sometimes stopped to draw with him. While Ari was better at drawing animals, Bella was better at spelling, so they often helped each other. Bella’s favorite neighbors were the Rodans. Mrs. Rodan enjoyed chatting, and Bella learned that Mr. Rodan was serving far away in the Army and would not return until spring. She also discovered that their little son, Finn, loved playing peekaboo. Whenever Bella popped out and shouted “Boo!” Finn would laugh so hard that he drooled (流口水). But one day when Bella passed by the Rodans’ house, they were not outside. She thought they might have gone to the library, since Finn loved books. However, they did not appear the next day, or the day after that. Bella grew worried and felt something was wrong. She rushed home and told her mom, “I haven’t seen the Rodans in three days. Can we check on them?” Her mother argued they might just be busy, but Bella insisted, “They’re my friends.” “We’ll go if they’re not outside tomorrow,” Mom promised. The following afternoon, the Rodans still didn’t appear, so Bella and her mother walked to the Rodans’ house and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Rodan opened the door, holding a red-cheeked Finn, who was crying. She looked exhausted, with dark circles under her eyes, a coffee stain on her shirt, and a bandage around her ankle. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： After Bella’s mother explained their visit, Mrs. Rodan sighed and shared her troubles. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Bella put her plan into action. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 After Bella’s mother explained their visit, Mrs. Rodan sighed and shared her troubles. She had twisted her ankle badly while chasing Finn in the yard three days ago and could barely walk. With Mr. Rodan away in the Army, she had no one to turn to for help. She had to take care of Finn alone, struggling with cooking, cleaning and soothing the crying boy day and night. As she spoke, tears welled up in her tired eyes. Bella felt a pang of sympathy and determined to help her. The next morning, Bella put her plan into action. She asked Mr. Sharaf for some fresh vegetables from his garden and then went to Ari’s house, inviting him to join her. Together, they went to the Rodans’. Bella helped tidy up the messy living room and wash the dishes, while Ari entertained Finn with funny animal drawings, making the little boy giggle happily. Later, Bella even taught Mrs. Rodan how to use a delivery app to order groceries online. Seeing Mrs. Rodan’s grateful smile, Bella felt warm and happy, knowing that being a good neighbor meant being there for each other in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了贝拉在放学路上结识了邻居们，尤其喜欢军人罗德的家人。发现罗德一家连续几天未露面，贝拉忧心忡忡，便和妈妈上门探望。原来罗德太太脚踝扭伤，独自照顾孩子十分辛苦。贝拉随即找来朋友帮忙料理家务、逗孩子开心，还教罗德太太用购物软件，践行了邻里互助的温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“贝拉的母亲讲述了这次来访的情况后，罗德太太叹了口气，倾诉了自己的烦恼”可知，第一段可描写罗德太太讲述自己因为脚踝扭伤，独自照顾孩子十分辛苦。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，贝拉开始执行她的计划”可知，第二段可描写贝拉找来朋友帮忙料理家务、逗孩子开心，还教罗德太太用购物软件，践行了邻里互助的温暖。 2.续写线索：罗德太太讲述脚踝受伤——罗德太太照顾家里辛苦——贝拉帮忙料理家务——贝拉照顾孩子——贝拉感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决心：determine/resolve ②照顾：take care of/attend to ③追赶：chase/pursue 情绪类 ①同情：sympathy/compassion ②快乐：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] As she spoke, tears welled up in her tired eyes.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Seeing Mrs. Rodan’s grateful smile, Bella felt warm and happy, knowing that being a good neighbor meant being there for each other in need.（运用了现在分词短语作状语，that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 马鞍山二中2025—2026学年度第一学期高三12月测试英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读一遍。 1.

B Growing up in Denmark, a country that does not have university athletics, I was afraid of high school graduation because it would mean I had to choose between two childhood passions: basketball and chemistry. However, after learning about U.S. colleges, I realized there was a way to pursue higher education and competitively play the sport I loved. When I arrived in the United States ready to participate in Division I basketball, I voiced my interest in chemistry. However, conversations with student-athletes further along in their programs left me with the impression that the intense demands for a STEM degree were conflicting with an athlete’s schedule. Nobody told me it was impossible, but nobody reassured me it was doable either. I set out intending to major in chemistry anyway and signed up for as many science classes as I could. But as the terms wore on, I had to delay taking certain courses as it became increasingly difficult to fit multiple 3-hour labs into my schedule. When I could not complete enough chemistry coursework by the end of my second year to maintain athletic eligibility, I declared German as a major instead. Still, I kept up with my chemistry classes, focusing on courses I’d need for admission into a chemistry graduate program. It wasn’t easy, however. At a time when winning games was crucial, I had to do something equally important: pass my exams. Sitting on the team bus, I studied class notes and tackled problem sets, feeling conflicted about whether to prioritize my performance on the court or my academic work. The experience was stressful, but it allowed me to practice time management and learn how to balance competing demands. I realized then that rather than feeling embarrassed about not following a traditional path, I should instead celebrate that I had gained other skills, including proactive planning, resolution, and time management. These tools have helped me navigate (应对) a research environment, and also life in general. 4. What did the author learn from talking with student-athletes? A. International students would face tough choices. B. Balancing a STEM degree with sports was hard. C. Gaining STEM degrees were impossible for athletes. D. Science classes should be given priority over training. 5. Why did the author switch to German? A. He lost interest in chemistry. B. German was easier to master. C. He lacked sufficient chemistry credits. D. His graduate program forced him to do so. 6. How did the author find the experience according to paragraph 4? A. Pioneering and transformative. B. Satisfying and refreshing. C Embarrassing but productive. D. Demanding but rewarding. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. I carved my own path B. Athletics aids academic studies C. Student-athletes should win recognition D. My passions found new expression at university C The Body Mass Index (BMI), calculated by dividing weight by height squared, can be used to classify individuals as underweight, normal, overweight, or obese. While large-scale studies sometimes associate high BMI with increased risks of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and type II diabetes, its reliability as an individual health indicator is increasingly questioned. A primary criticism is that BMI fails to differentiate between fat, muscle, and bone. Consequently, muscular athletes may be categorized as overweight despite low body fat, while individuals with a “normal” BMI might exhibit warning signs like high blood pressure. Moreover, the indicator originated primarily from data on white males, leading to potential misclassification among diverse ethnic groups, particularly women of color. Research indicates that nearly half of those labeled overweight and a quarter of those considered obese based on BMI actually demonstrate normal cardiovascular health condition. Beyond its technical shortcomings, the social and psychological impacts of BMI categorization are concerning. Shame attached to a high BMI can elevate stress hormones, which may worsen appetite and create a harmful cycle of stress and eating. Additionally, some patients report that their medical complaints are overlooked once they are labeled overweight. Despite these flaws, BMI persists due to its simplicity and ease of use in clinical and public health settings. However, alternative measures are gaining attention. Indicators such as waist circumference (腰围) or the Body Roundness Index (BRI) can better predict risks of chronic diseases. Advanced tools like MRI scans offer precise fat distribution analysis but remain less accessible. Ultimately, health cannot be reduced to a single number. Experts emphasize that well-being is complex, influenced by nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and genetic factors. As one researcher notes, there is no single “healthy” body type — a truth reflected in the varied figures of Olympic athletes. Thus, while BMI may offer a broad population-level glimpse, it should not be viewed as a definitive indicator of personal health. 8. According to the passage, what is a major shortcoming of BMI in assessing an individual’s health? A. It ignores the influence of diet. B. It can’t distinguish muscle from fat. C. It overlooks gender difference. D. It overestimates the risks for the elderly. 9. Why is BMI still widely used despite its shortcomings? A. It’s supported by long-term diverse studies. B. It’s regularly updated for accuracy. C. It accurately predicts chronic disease risks. D. It’s simple and convenient for basic use. 10. What can be inferred from the mention of Olympic athletes in the last paragraph? A. Fitness matters more than weight. B. Athletes shouldn’t use BMI for training. C. Different body types can be healthy. D. BMI is inaccurate for active individuals. 11. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage? A. Waist circumference is completely reliable. B. BMI can be used but health is multidimensional. C. BMI should be replaced by advanced tools like MRI scans. D. Overweight patients feel ashamed to report their medical complaints. D In a groundbreaking development for long-duration spaceflight, China’s Tiangong space station has introduced a specialized oven, enabling astronauts to enjoy hot, freshly prepared meals like never before. This innovation marks a significant step beyond the traditional pre-packaged space food, focusing on both the nutritional and psychological well-being of crew members. The newly delivered oven, which functions similarly to an air fryer, is designed specifically for the microgravity environment. In a released video, astronauts are seen securing chicken wings in a special grill cage and placing it into a small compartment. The device provides consistent and smokeless baking without overloading the station’s power grid (电网)—a critical consideration for orbital outposts like Tiangong and the International Space Station (ISS) that rely on strict fire safety agreements. The “sweet spot” for cooking chicken wings was found to be 28 minutes under these unique conditions. This achievement has been compared to a 2019 experiment on the International Space Station (ISS), where astronauts used a Zero G oven to bake cookies. While that test demonstrated that baking in space takes longer than on Earth, China’s oven is not a temporary experiment. It has been fully integrated into Tiangong’s systems and certified for up to 500 uses, indicating its role as a permanent facility aimed at improving the quality of life in space. Experts like Kang Guohua, a professor of aerospace engineering, emphasize that comforts such as hot meals are vital for keeping astronauts psychologically “grounded” during extended missions. The ability to prepare familiar and flavorful food not only enhances morale (士气) but also supports crew cohesion and performance. The introduction of this oven reflects China’s broader advancement in sustainable space habitation, where technology meets human needs in an extreme environment. It reflects a shift in space station design from mere survival to decent living, where even a simple “space BBQ” can symbolize comfort, innovation, and a touch of home far above Earth. 12. Why is it particularly important that the oven operates without producing smoke? A. Smoke affects food taste. B. Smoke disturbs experiments. C. Fire safety agreements exist. D. Astronauts are untrained for smoke. 13. What does the comparison between China’s oven and the 2019 ISS cookie-baking experiment imply? A. China’s oven can be permanent B. Both studied microgravity’s effect. C. China’s technology is far more advanced. D. The ISS oven aimed for long-term use but failed. 14. According to the passage, what is a key function of the oven besides cooking? A. It provides backup power. B. It provides mental comfort. C. It tests plant growth in space. D. It recycles water from cooking. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The ISS is falling behind in culinary technology. B. Chinese astronauts are the first to barbecue in space. C. Safety must be prioritized over comfort in food preparation. D. An oven improves technology and living comfort in space. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Successfully Reinvent Yourself Reinventing yourself is not about making minor changes, but about diving into a new and better version of yourself.

She learned that the kind old grandpa was named Mr. Sharaf, who once clipped a rose from his garden and gave it to her. The little boy who often drew on the sidewalk with chalk was Ari. Bella sometimes stopped to draw with him. While Ari was better at drawing animals, Bella was better at spelling, so they often helped each other. Bella’s favorite neighbors were the Rodans. Mrs. Rodan enjoyed chatting, and Bella learned that Mr. Rodan was serving far away in the Army and would not return until spring. She also discovered that their little son, Finn, loved playing peekaboo. Whenever Bella popped out and shouted “Boo!” Finn would laugh so hard that he drooled (流口水). But one day, when Bella passed by the Rodans’ house, they were not outside. She thought they might have gone to the library, since Finn loved books. However, they did not appear the next day, or the day after that. Bella grew worried and felt something was wrong. She rushed home and told her mom, “I haven’t seen the Rodans in three days. Can we check on them?” Her mother argued they might just be busy, but Bella insisted, “They’re my friends.” “We’ll go if they’re not outside tomorrow,” Mom promised. The following afternoon, the Rodans still didn’t appear, so Bella and her mother walked to the Rodans’ house and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Rodan opened the door, holding a red-cheeked Finn, who was crying. She looked exhausted, with dark circles under her eyes, a coffee stain on her shirt, and a bandage around her ankle. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： After Bella’s mother explained their visit, Mrs. Rodan sighed and shared her troubles. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Bella put her plan into action. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
