Sleepy with eyes half closed, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it?” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I still remember that night, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep. Some parents, like my father, have the gift of opening doors for their children, of leading them into splendid newness. This art of adding dimensions to a child doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time. It simply involves doing things with our children instead of for them or to them. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played exceptionally well. “How long have you been interested in golf?” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said. “You mean your father gave you a set of clubs?” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.” I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.” The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is not to divert them or amuse ourselves; it is to build eager and outgoing attitudes towards the demanding and complicated business of living. This, surely, is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation: not money, not houses, but a capacity for wonder and gratitude, a sense of aliveness and joy. And for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there. None of us meets it fully, but the opportunities come again and again. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven. 4. How does the writer find his experience of watching the shooting stars? A. Exciting. B. Rewarding. C. Encouraging. D. Satisfying. 5. What the girl said in Paragraph 2 suggests that ______. A. children should develop a hobby from an early age B. a set of clubs are not as important as skills in golfing C. parents’ presence is the key to children’s exploration D. no success can be achieved without one’s passion 6. What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with? A. Stability in upbringing builds confidence. B. Parenting styles require professional guidance. C. Childhood experience determines adult happiness. D. One’s personality is related to childhood experiences. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To express his wish to watch the shooting stars. B. To stress the importance of father-son relations. C. To encourage parents to enrich their kids’ inner life. D. To present the challenges of parenting children. C Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺). Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from theSun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化). The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over theUS and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last. Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations. “ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.” The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening. 8. What does the underlined word“emblem” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Symbol. B. Location. C. Recovery. D. Construction. 9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned? A. To highlight the economic value of the park. B. To serve as evidence of the warming climate. C. To explain the process of glacier formation. D. To describe a new popular tourist attraction. 10. What can be learned about the National Park Service? A. It mainly allows for economic benefits. B. It shows confidence in restoring the park. C. It is forced to adjust its protection principle. D. It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A New Idea for Park Conservation B. A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice C. A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park D. A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself D Sometimes, the best thing for a penguin is to go with the flow. Magellanic penguins change their strategy for directing themselves home based on the strength of ocean currents: swimming almost straight back to their colonies (栖息地) in calm waters, but following currents when they are strong — traveling farther but conserving energy; researchers report in PLOS Biology. From September to February, Magellanic penguins raise their young in coastal colonies of Chile and Argentina. Adult penguins travel more than 100 kilometers in one trip to find small fish to feed their babies. Such long ocean journeys require not only a keen sense of direction but skills in dealing with ocean currents, which can either aid movement — like how sea turtles use currents for their seasonal movements — or sweep animals off course. While penguins can swim against strong currents, study coauthor Wilson notes that it’s not wise: “Why catch all that fish just to waste energy swimming against the current?” To uncover their strategies, Wilson and coworkers monitored 27 adult penguins from Argentina’s San Lorenzo colony using GPS and movement trackers under varying current conditions. After nearly 30 hours of fishing, their return trips — lasting up to 16 hours — always began with the penguins pointing directly toward their colonies, but their following path depended on the day’s ocean conditions. In calm waters, they maintained a nearly straight line. However, in strong currents, they adopted S-shaped paths following the area’s natural current patterns. As currents changed direction during their journey, they avoided being carried too far off course. These longer trips not only provided extra fishing opportunities but saved energy, according to estimates of the effort required to swim at specific speeds. This behavior suggests penguins assess current strength and direction to select the best paths to follow. Their ability likely originates from a mix of natural tendency — genetically built rough guides to the sea — and learning, with young penguins observing and copying adult behavior to refine their skills. 12. How does the author present the fact in the first paragraph? A. By referring to a report. B. By explaining a term. C. By giving examples. D. By comparing data. 13. What determines the penguins’ next path to follow according to the research? A. The effort required to swim. B. The length of fishing time. C. The distance of fishing trips. D. The conditions of daily currents. 14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “S shaped paths” in paragraph 4? A. The opportunity for extra fishing. B. The consequence of wasting energy. C. The method of avoiding strong currents. D. The strategy of adapting to strong currents. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Magellanic Penguins: Masters of Long Trips B. Ocean Currents: Keys to Penguin Survival C. Magellanic Penguins: Smart Current Users D. Ocean Currents: Calm Tides and Rough Waves 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our modern world, there are endless alternatives. Have you ever found yourself wondering whether you should quit or stay in your job, accept an offer or give it up for another? There is a simple and practical method that solves this problem.____16____When you understand the concept, you have the power to measure every alternative with precision and make the right decision. In the field of economics, opportunity cost is the value that you have to give up when you choose an option over another good option.____17____Every time you choose something, you give up other alternatives together with their financial benefits. It is not all the other options, but the most valued one that is defined as the opportunity cost. ____18____Take the simple example of trying to decide whether to take public transportation for 80 minutes or to drive for 40 minutes. You might save on the cost of gas while riding the bus but double the trip length and miss out on other things you could have done during that time.____19____This is how you create priorities in your daily life. Though useful in decision making, the biggest drawback of opportunity cost is that it’s often related to what’s hard to quantify.____20____After all, putting a number to your peaceful mind or happiness can be difficult. Opportunity cost isn’t cut and dried. It varies from person to person. At the end of the day, you are in charge of what you own and what you want to gain. A. It is about finding out the opportunity cost. B. Weigh the losses and gains, and make your decision. C. Opportunity cost matters not only in economics but also in real life. D. This is especially true when the opportunity cost is of non-financial benefit. E. The key principle underlying the idea is that there is no such thing as free lunch. F. Most people overlook opportunity cost because the benefits are usually hidden from view. G. It is the development of important skills that would help you move forward in your daily life. 第三部分 英语知识运用(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。 My grandpa lost his sight around 20 years of age.

He is an enthusiastic collector, who is always on the hunt for old items to repurpose, believing that with a bit of creativity, these forgotten objects can be transformed into something useful and new. Recently, he came across an old bicycle wheel, an old-fashioned metal milk box, an antique lamp, a dirty vase and some old clothes at a flea market, imagining all the possibilities they held. My parents have a neighbor: Helen Fox. She is a 91-year-old widow (寡妇) . My parents, along with several other neighbors, look after Helen, ensuring she feels loved and supported. Helen had long suffered from a problem: her mailbox. For some reason, the mailbox was placed insecurely down a somewhat steep (陡峭的) driveway off a busy highway, making it a daily danger for her to fetch her mail. Besides, it was old and rusty, as if it had suffered multiple violent impacts. Its once-bright red paint had faded to a dull pink. The door hung loosely, creaking (嘎吱作响) with every gust of wind. The letters on it had faded over the years. The ‘F’ was no longer clear, the ‘O’ had lost its shape, and the ‘X’ was almost gone. Helen wanted to replace it with a new one and move it to a new location, but she had no idea where to start. The minute my dad heard about it, he made it his mission to settle the problem. He began by contacting the local rural mail service, arranging to relocate Helen's mailbox. He also talked with Yancey, their shared rural postman, explaining the upcoming change. A relatively safe place was easy to find. But the real challenge was finding a perfect mailbox. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then he remembered the old objects he had recently collected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, he showed up at Helen's house with a shiny new mailbox. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 集美中学2025-2026学年第一学期高二年级12月月考 英语试卷 满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 命题人：雷莉 章姗姗 审核人：郑声宏 班级：______ 座号：______ 姓名：______ 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Sleepy with eyes half closed, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it?” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I still remember that night, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep. Some parents, like my father, have the gift of opening doors for their children, of leading them into splendid newness. This art of adding dimensions to a child doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time. It simply involves doing things with our children instead of for them or to them. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played exceptionally well. “How long have you been interested in golf?” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said. “You mean your father gave you a set of clubs?” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.” I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.” The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is not to divert them or amuse ourselves; it is to build eager and outgoing attitudes towards the demanding and complicated business of living. This, surely, is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation: not money, not houses, but a capacity for wonder and gratitude, a sense of aliveness and joy. And for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there. None of us meets it fully, but the opportunities come again and again. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven. 4. How does the writer find his experience of watching the shooting stars? A. Exciting. B. Rewarding. C. Encouraging. D. Satisfying. 5. What the girl said in Paragraph 2 suggests that ______. A. children should develop a hobby from an early age B. a set of clubs are not as important as skills in golfing C. parents’ presence is the key to children’s exploration D. no success can be achieved without one’s passion 6. What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with? A. Stability in upbringing builds confidence. B. Parenting styles require professional guidance. C. Childhood experience determines adult happiness. D. One’s personality is related to childhood experiences. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To express his wish to watch the shooting stars. B. To stress the importance of father-son relations. C. To encourage parents to enrich their kids’ inner life. D. To present the challenges of parenting children. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经因为父亲带他看美丽的流星而久久不能忘怀，作者认为像父亲这样有非凡“天赋”的父母，能够为孩子们打开一扇门，带领他们进入辉煌的新领域。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Decades have passed, but I still remember that night, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep.(几十年过去了，我仍然记得那一夜，因为我是个幸运的孩子，我的父亲认为一次新的经历比一夜好眠更重要。)”可推知，作者觉得看流星雨的经历是有收获的。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played exceptionally well. “How long have you been interested in golf?” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said. “You mean your father gave you a set of clubs?” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.”(在高尔夫协会的锦标赛上，一个10岁的女孩打得特别好。“你对高尔夫感兴趣多久了？”有人问。“这是我九岁生日的礼物，”她说。“你是说你父亲给了你一套球杆？”“不，”她说，“是他教我打高尔夫的。”)”可推知，这表明父亲的参与和引导才是女儿对高尔夫兴趣的关键，选项C“父母的出场是孩子探索的关键”契合文意。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话“And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.”(他补充道：“告诉我你的童年，我就能告诉你你可能是哪种类型的人。”)”可推知，作者的精神病学家朋友会同意一个人的个性与童年经历有关。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is not to divert them or amuse ourselves; it is to build eager and outgoing attitudes towards the demanding and complicated business of living. This, surely, is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation: not money, not houses, but a capacity for wonder and gratitude, a sense of aliveness and joy. And for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there. None of us meets it fully, but the opportunities come again and again.(因此，试图为孩子们敞开大门的真正目的，并不是为了让他们消遣或自娱自乐；它是为了建立一种渴望和外向的态度，去面对复杂而苛求的生活。毫无疑问，这是我们可以留给下一代的最宝贵的遗产：不是金钱，不是房子，而是对奇迹和感恩的能力，一种活力和快乐的感觉。对于那些关心孩子未来的我们来说，挑战始终存在。我们没有人能够完全应对它，但机会一次又一次地出现。)”可推知，作者写最后一段的目的是鼓励父母丰富孩子的内心世界。故选C。 C Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺). Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from theSun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化). The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over theUS and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last. Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations. “ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.” The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening. 8. What does the underlined word“emblem” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Symbol. B. Location. C. Recovery. D. Construction. 9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned? A. To highlight the economic value of the park. B. To serve as evidence of the warming climate. C. To explain the process of glacier formation. D. To describe a new popular tourist attraction. 10. What can be learned about the National Park Service? A. It mainly allows for economic benefits. B. It shows confidence in restoring the park. C. It is forced to adjust its protection principle. D. It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A New Idea for Park Conservation B. A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice C. A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park D. A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍冰川国家公园因气候变暖导致冰川大量消融，面临名称名不副实的危机，以及美国国家公园管理局保护理念的转变。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Since Glacier National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure of Americans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies.(自冰川国家公园建立以来，其令人叹为观止的景观便一直是美国人的精神瑰宝。但如今，气候变暖正威胁着这座公园的核心象征，使其未来可能面临名称沦为残酷讽刺的境地。)”可知，“emblem”与前文“represented”相呼应，结合后文“冰川消失导致名称讽刺”，可推断“emblem”指公园的核心“象征”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from the Sun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting.(就在几十年前，这片土地还完全被冰雪覆盖。如今，冰川本身已缩小至一小块区域，躲在由自身融水形成的湖岸边缘，避开阳光照射。)”可知，作者提及新形成的湖泊，是为了通过“冰川消融→湖泊形成”的具体现象，证明气候变暖对公园的影响，即作为气候变暖的证据。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations.(这一现状对美国国家公园管理局的核心使命构成了挑战。该机构依据 1916 年的一项法律成立，该法律要求将这些珍贵遗址保持原始状态，以供后代享用)”以及最后一段“The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening.(因此，气候危机导致该组织的理念发生了转变：为阻止公园进一步恶化，改变其原始状态是可接受的。)”可知，国家公园管理局原本坚持“保持原始状态”的保护原则，如今因气候危机被迫调整其保护原则。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺).(自冰川国家公园建立以来，其令人叹为观止的景观便一直是美国人的精神瑰宝。但如今，气候变暖正威胁着这座公园的核心象征，使其未来可能面临名称沦为残酷讽刺的境地)”短文围绕“冰川国家公园因气候变暖导致冰川消融，名称可能名不副实，管理局被迫调整保护理念”展开。D项“公园可能面临自我定义的危机”为最佳标题。故选D项。 D Sometimes, the best thing for a penguin is to go with the flow. Magellanic penguins change their strategy for directing themselves home based on the strength of ocean currents: swimming almost straight back to their colonies (栖息地) in calm waters, but following currents when they are strong — traveling farther but conserving energy; researchers report in PLOS Biology. From September to February, Magellanic penguins raise their young in coastal colonies of Chile and Argentina. Adult penguins travel more than 100 kilometers in one trip to find small fish to feed their babies. Such long ocean journeys require not only a keen sense of direction but skills in dealing with ocean currents, which can either aid movement — like how sea turtles use currents for their seasonal movements — or sweep animals off course. While penguins can swim against strong currents, study coauthor Wilson notes that it’s not wise: “Why catch all that fish just to waste energy swimming against the current?” To uncover their strategies, Wilson and coworkers monitored 27 adult penguins from Argentina’s San Lorenzo colony using GPS and movement trackers under varying current conditions. After nearly 30 hours of fishing, their return trips — lasting up to 16 hours — always began with the penguins pointing directly toward their colonies, but their following path depended on the day’s ocean conditions. In calm waters, they maintained a nearly straight line. However, in strong currents, they adopted S-shaped paths following the area’s natural current patterns. As currents changed direction during their journey, they avoided being carried too far off course. These longer trips not only provided extra fishing opportunities but saved energy, according to estimates of the effort required to swim at specific speeds. This behavior suggests penguins assess current strength and direction to select the best paths to follow. Their ability likely originates from a mix of natural tendency — genetically built rough guides to the sea — and learning, with young penguins observing and copying adult behavior to refine their skills. 12. How does the author present the fact in the first paragraph? A. By referring to a report. B. By explaining a term. C. By giving examples. D. By comparing data. 13. What determines the penguins’ next path to follow according to the research? A. The effort required to swim. B. The length of fishing time. C. The distance of fishing trips. D. The conditions of daily currents. 14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “S shaped paths” in paragraph 4? A. The opportunity for extra fishing. B. The consequence of wasting energy. C. The method of avoiding strong currents. D. The strategy of adapting to strong currents. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Magellanic Penguins: Masters of Long Trips B. Ocean Currents: Keys to Penguin Survival C. Magellanic Penguins: Smart Current Users D. Ocean Currents: Calm Tides and Rough Waves 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍麦哲伦企鹅会依据洋流强度调整回家策略及该能力的可能来源。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Sometimes, the best thing for a penguin is to go with the flow. Magellanic penguins change their strategy for directing themselves home based on the strength of ocean currents: swimming almost straight back to their colonies (栖息地) in calm waters, but following currents when they are strong — traveling farther but conserving energy; researchers report in PLOS Biology.(有时候，对企鹅来说最好的做法就是随波逐流。研究人员在《公共科学图书馆・生物学》上报告称，麦哲伦企鹅会根据洋流强度调整回家的路线策略：在风平浪静的海水中几乎径直游回栖息地，但在洋流强劲时顺着洋流游动 —— 路程更远但节省能量)”可知，作者是通过引用一份研究报告来呈现麦哲伦企鹅相关习性这一事实的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After nearly 30 hours of fishing, their return trips — lasting up to 16 hours — always began with the penguins pointing directly toward their colonies, but their following path depended on the day’s ocean conditions.(经过近30个小时的捕食，它们长达16个小时的返程总是以径直朝向栖息地为开端，但后续的行进路线取决于当天的洋流状况)”可知，研究表明是每日的洋流状况决定了企鹅接下来要走的路线。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“ However, in strong currents, they adopted S-shaped paths following the area’s natural current patterns. As currents changed direction during their journey, they avoided being carried too far off course. These longer trips not only provided extra fishing opportunities but saved energy, according to estimates of the effort required to swim at specific speeds.(然而，在强大的水流中，它们采用了S形的路径，遵循该地区的自然水流模式。由于洋流在航行中改变了方向，它们避免被带离航线太远。根据对以特定速度游泳所需努力的估计，这些较长的行程不仅提供了额外的捕鱼机会，而且节省了能量)”可知，在强洋流中企鹅采用“S形路径”，并提到这种路径遵循该地区的自然水流模式，节省能量，可见这是企鹅适应强洋流的策略。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Magellanic penguins change their strategy for directing themselves home based on the strength of ocean currents: swimming almost straight back to their colonies (栖息地) in calm waters, but following currents when they are strong — traveling farther but conserving energy; researchers report in PLOS Biology.(研究人员在《公共科学图书馆・生物学》上报告称，麦哲伦企鹅会根据洋流强度调整回家的路线策略：在风平浪静的海水中几乎径直游回栖息地，但在洋流强劲时顺着洋流游动 —— 路程更远但节省能量)”可知，文章核心围绕麦哲伦企鹅善于根据洋流状况调整行进路线展开，体现它们是善于利用洋流的动物。C项“麦哲伦企鹅：聪明洋流使用者”最契合主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our modern world, there are endless alternatives. Have you ever found yourself wondering whether you should quit or stay in your job, accept an offer or give it up for another? There is a simple and practical method that solves this problem.____16____When you understand the concept, you have the power to measure every alternative with precision and make the right decision. In the field of economics, opportunity cost is the value that you have to give up when you choose an option over another good option.____17____Every time you choose something, you give up other alternatives together with their financial benefits. It is not all the other options, but the most valued one that is defined as the opportunity cost. ____18____Take the simple example of trying to decide whether to take public transportation for 80 minutes or to drive for 40 minutes. You might save on the cost of gas while riding the bus but double the trip length and miss out on other things you could have done during that time.____19____This is how you create priorities in your daily life. Though useful in decision making, the biggest drawback of opportunity cost is that it’s often related to what’s hard to quantify.____20____After all, putting a number to your peaceful mind or happiness can be difficult. Opportunity cost isn’t cut and dried. It varies from person to person. At the end of the day, you are in charge of what you own and what you want to gain. A. It is about finding out the opportunity cost. B. Weigh the losses and gains, and make your decision. C. Opportunity cost matters not only in economics but also in real life. D. This is especially true when the opportunity cost is of non-financial benefit. E. The key principle underlying the idea is that there is no such thing as free lunch. F. Most people overlook opportunity cost because the benefits are usually hidden from view. G. It is the development of important skills that would help you move forward in your daily life. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机会成本。 【16题详解】 根据上文“There is a simple and practical method that solves this problem.( 有一个简单实用的方法可以解决这个问题。)”和下文“When you understand the concept, you have the power to measure every alternative with precision and make the right decision.(当你理解了这个概念，你就有能力精确地衡量每一个选择，并做出正确的决定。)”可知，空处提到了一个概念，就是机会成本。A项中的“the opportunity cost”和下文中的“the concept”对应。A项：It is about finding out the opportunity cost.(这是关于找出机会成本。)符合语境。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Every time you choose something, you give up other alternatives together with their financial benefits.(每次你选择某样东西，你就放弃了其他的选择以及它们的经济利益。)”可知，下文举例说明机会成本的具体实施原则，选择了某样东西，就要放弃其他的选择以及它们的经济利益。E项：The key principle underlying the idea is that there is no such thing as free lunch.(这个观点的关键原则是，天下没有免费的午餐。)符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Take the simple example of trying to decide whether to take public transportation for 80 minutes or to drive for 40 minutes.(举个简单的例子，试着决定是乘80分钟的公共交通工具还是开车40分钟。)”可知，本段主要讲述机会成本在日常生活中的应用。C项：Opportunity cost matters not only in economics but also in real life.(机会成本不仅在经济学中很重要，在现实生活中也很重要。)符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“You might save on the cost of gas while riding the bus but double the trip length and miss out on other things you could have done during that time.(你可能会在乘坐公共汽车时节省汽油费用，但会使行程长度增加一倍，并错过在这段时间内你可以做的其他事情。)”可知，在做决定之前要权衡利弊。B项：Weigh the losses and gains, and make your decision.(权衡得失，再做决定。)符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Though useful in decision making, the biggest drawback of opportunity cost is that it’s often related to what’s hard to quantify. (虽然机会成本在决策中很有用，但它最大的缺点是它往往与难以量化的东西有关。)”可知，此处提出机会成本的局限性，结合下文“After all, putting a number to your peaceful mind or happiness can be difficult.(毕竟，用一个数字来形容你内心的平静或快乐是很困难的。)”可知，像情绪等非经济利益机会成本难以形容。D项：This is especially true when the opportunity cost is of non-financial benefit.(当机会成本是非经济利益时尤其如此。)符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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。 My grandpa lost his sight around 20 years of age.

He is an enthusiastic collector, who is always on the hunt for old items to repurpose, believing that with a bit of creativity, these forgotten objects can be transformed into something useful and new. Recently, he came across an old bicycle wheel, an old-fashioned metal milk box, an antique lamp, a dirty vase and some old clothes at a flea market, imagining all the possibilities they held. My parents have a neighbor: Helen Fox. She is a 91-year-old widow (寡妇) . My parents, along with several other neighbors, look after Helen, ensuring she feels loved and supported. Helen had long suffered from a problem: her mailbox. For some reason, the mailbox was placed insecurely down a somewhat steep (陡峭的) driveway off a busy highway, making it a daily danger for her to fetch her mail. Besides, it was old and rusty, as if it had suffered multiple violent impacts. Its once-bright red paint had faded to a dull pink. The door hung loosely, creaking (嘎吱作响) with every gust of wind. The letters on it had faded over the years. The ‘F’ was no longer clear, the ‘O’ had lost its shape, and the ‘X’ was almost gone. Helen wanted to replace it with a new one and move it to a new location, but she had no idea where to start. The minute my dad heard about it, he made it his mission to settle the problem. He began by contacting the local rural mail service, arranging to relocate Helen's mailbox. He also talked with Yancey, their shared rural postman, explaining the upcoming change. A relatively safe place was easy to find. But the real challenge was finding a perfect mailbox. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then he remembered the old objects he had recently collected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, he showed up at Helen's house with a shiny new mailbox. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Then he remembered the old objects he had recently collected. Among them was an old-fashioned metal milk box, which showed scratches but was still sturdy. He thought it could be repurposed into a perfect new mailbox. With a burst of inspiration, he got to work immediately. He cleaned the milk box thoroughly, removing years of dirt and rust. He also added a new coat of bright red paint, making it look brand-new and cheerful, as if getting a second life. To personalize it, he painted the letters “FOX” clearly on the side in white. For the finishing touch, he attached a small, decorative metal handle he had salvaged from an old drawer. The next day, he showed up at Helen's house with a shiny new mailbox. Helen was amazed when she saw it. “Mr. Duane, this is wonderful! You are so creative and kind,” she exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with joy. My dad installed the mailbox in a new, safer location. Yancey, the postman, was also impressed when he delivered the first batch of mail to the new mailbox. From then on, Helen no longer had to worry about fetching her mail. The new mailbox not only served its purpose but also became a symbol of the warm and caring community they lived in. Every time Helen saw it, she was reminded of the kindness of her neighbors, especially Collector Duane. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的父亲如何帮助邻居Helen解决邮箱问题，展现了一个温馨、互助的社区故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这时，他想起了自己最近收集的那些旧物件。”以及第二段首句内容“第二天，父亲带着一个锃亮的新邮箱出现在Helen家。”可知，第一段可描写作者的父亲将一个牛奶箱改造成了一个新邮箱。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，父亲带着一个锃亮的新邮箱出现在Helen家。”可知，第二段可描写作者的父亲为Helen装好了邮箱，Helen非常感激作者的父亲。 2.续写线索：父亲想起了自己最近收集的旧物件中有个老式的牛奶箱——于是，作者的父亲清洗了牛奶箱，并改造成了一个漂亮的邮箱——并且，他还给邮箱装上了一个把手——次日，作者的父亲来到了Helen家门口——Helen非常感激作者的父亲，从此她再也不需要担心取邮件的问题了——每当看到这个邮箱，Helen都会想起这个温暖的社区和作者的父亲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：think/ believe ②大喊：exclaim/ cry ③安装：install/ fix 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/surprised ②高兴：joy/ happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Among them was an old-fashioned metal milk box, which showed scratches but was still sturdy.（运用了which引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Helen was amazed when she saw it.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
