B When I was a boy there were no smart phones, computers were something you saw on STAR TREK, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of muddy tire tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on. The dirt road gave way to a gravel one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with the something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love. May you always help your fellow travelers along the way. And may your roads always lead you Home again. 4. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young? A. He could watch TV all day. B. He could have fun in nature. C.

He was unconscious of danger. C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods. D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents. 6 What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. Doubt. B. Hope. C. Fear. D. Courage. 7. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile B. Be Brave to Explore C. Be Determined in Your Life D. All Roads Lead Home C In recent years, prefabricated dishes have grown rapidly popular in China. These are pre-cooked, seasoned, and packaged meals that require little to no preparation, offering a quick and convenient dining option without sacrificing major taste or nutrition. As people grow increasingly busier, time for cooking has become a rare resource. Prefabricated dishes address this pressing need by offering a significant reduction in meal preparation time. Other factors also contribute to their popularity — such as the convenience of e-commerce and delivery services that allow easy online ordering and quick home delivery, and the role of modern technology like vacuum and adjusted atmosphere packaging slows food spoilage. Along with precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality, it is ultimately the fundamental demand for time-saving solutions in a nonstop world that serves as the primary driving force for their widespread acceptance. However, the rise of prefabricated dishes is not without concerns. Health issues remain a primary consideration, as some products contain additives and preservatives, which could pose risks if consumed excessively. Additionally, when compared to traditional freshly prepared meals, they often fall short in keeping the original flavor and nutritional value. In response, governments have carried out stricter safety standards and enhanced quality control measures. Meanwhile, certain manufacturers are actively exploring the use of natural ingredients and reducing additives to improve nutritional composition. As a growing trend in China’s food industry, prefabricated dishes provide undeniable convenience, yet consumers are advised to remain cautious about their dietary choices. The future of the industry relies on balanced development — where convenience, safety, and health can coexist. 8. What is the main reason behind the popularity of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. The social trend of pursuing a modern lifestyle. B. The government’s strong promotion and supports. C. The superior flavor they offer compared to home-cooked meals. D. The time-saving convenience they provide in a fast-paced society. 9. The underlined word “spoilage” in Paragraph 2 most probably means the process of ______. A. losing nutritional value B. changing original flavor C. becoming bad or unfit to eat D. being delivered to customers 10. Which of the following best describes the current situation of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. They are gradually replacing traditional cooking in most households. B. They are achieving widespread acceptance and also arousing doubts. C. They are considered as equally nutritious as freshly prepared meals. D. They have mostly addressed food safety issues through regulations. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the industry’s future? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. D White noise is defined as noise that contains a mixture of all audible frequencies that human ears can hear (about 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz). This type of noise includes low-, midrange - and high-frequency sounds. Some noise types (or colors) get their names based on colors of light wavelengths. White light contains all the frequencies in the visible range, so you can see how white noise earned its name. Another way to think about it is as “20,000 tones all playing at the same time.” Why is it good to sleep with white noise? It can be an effective tool for “noise masking” and help avoid trouble sleeping. Studies indicate that listening to white noise for sleep can have some payoffs, such as by blocking out other sounds that can startle you out of sleep. Researchers believe that white noise is a noise that makes someone’s hearing threshold level (阀域值) reach its maximum rate, which means the presence sounds in the background become less capable of stimulating the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) region of the brain during sleep. A study published in 2021 examined the effects of white noise on sleep for 10 New York City residents who live in a high-noise environment. While the sample size is small, the data showed that “white noise significantly improved sleep based on subjective and objective measurements in subjects complaining of difficulty sleeping due to high levels of environmental noise.” Further researches confirms these findings. For instance, white noise helped improved average total sleep time in patients admitted to a coronary care unit in a 2016 study, while research published in 2022 found that critically ill patients improved their sleep quality with the use of white noise. White noise are now widely available. There’s one option to use a sleep machine app on your phone if you don’t want to purchase a device. If using white noise while studying, try listening to YouTube videos on your computer or phone completely for free, which can play in the background and drown out other distracting sounds. 12. Why is listening to white noise beneficial to sleep? A. It influences the colors of light wavelengths. B. It plays many tones at the same time. C. It blocks out other sounds that disturb sleep. D. It contains all audible frequencies. 13. What did the studies find about the effects of white noise on sleep? A. White noise improved the sleep of residents in noisy areas. B. White noise was ineffective for the sleep of critically ill patients. C. White noise caused patients’ difficulty sleeping. D. White noise improved average total sleep time largely. 14. How does the author introduce the ways of getting white noise? A. By listing some figures. B. By giving an example. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving a definition. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Why is White Noise? B. What is White Noise? C. How to Get White Noise? D. Where to Get White Noise? 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。 After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. ____16____ Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. ____17____ The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. ____18____ They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. ____19____ Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. ____20____ matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分24分) 第一节(共15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My wife and I went to Dubai for sightseeing in April this year.

Since then, he had managed the shop, collecting and selling all kinds of jewelry. In the little front window, gold rings, silver earrings, necklaces and other beautiful items of jewelry were all on display for passers-by to see. On a sunny winter afternoon, a little boy was standing before the window, his forehead against the glass, studying each treasure, as if he were looking for something special. Finally, he straightened up with a satisfied smile and entered the shop. “Mister, can I see the blue necklace in the window please?” the little boy asked David eagerly. The necklace had been bought for $100 from a middle-aged lady a few months ago, who seemed in great need of money. David lifted out the necklace. “Are you buying it for someone?” David asked. “It is for my mother. It looks just like the one she lost recently. You see, this will be the first Christmas since my father passed away. I’ve been looking for the most wonderful present for her. Will you wrap it up pretty for me, please?” “How much money do you have?” asked David. The little boy poured out a handful of pennies on the counter and explained, “I emptied my bank.” David looked at him thoughtfully. Then he carefully drew back the necklace. The price tag (标签) was visible to him but not to the little boy. How could he tell him? “Just a minute,” he said, and then turned towards the back of the store and removed the price tag. Over his shoulder, he called,“What’s your name?” “Jimmy.” When David returned to where Jimmy waited, a package lay in his hand, wrapped in blue paper and tied with a red ribbon (丝带). “Here you are,” he said. Jimmy took it carefully and smiled happily at the shop owner over his shoulder as he ran out of the door. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式相应位置作答。 Jimmy got home and gave the gift to his mom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jimmy’s mother packed the necklace back up again and said, “Let’s go back to the shop!” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 三明一中2025-2026学年上学期12月月考 高二英语试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时长 120分钟) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考生号等填写在答题卡上。考生要认真核对答题卡上的信息。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，用黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上书写作答。如在试卷上作答，答案无效。 3.考试结束后，监考员将答题卡收回。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of muddy tire tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid so I walked on. The dirt road gave way to a gravel one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with the something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love. May you always help your fellow travelers along the way. And may your roads always lead you Home again. 4. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young? A. He could watch TV all day. B. He could have fun in nature. C.

Be Brave to Explore C. Be Determined in Your Life D. All Roads Lead Home 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候在回家的路上选择了一条冒险的小路，最终在天黑以前到家的故事。由此作者感慨：这辈子所有的路不管怎样波折最终都会引导着我们回家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my imagination.( 不过，我从不觉得无聊。我家周围田野、山丘和林地都是完美的游乐场，我的想象力限制了它们的冒险。)”可知，作者年轻时很少感到无聊是因为他可以在大自然中享受乐趣。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.( 我走啊走，好像走了好几个小时。我确信我的守护天使在我耳边低语，让我转身回家，但我很固执，甚至有点愚蠢，所以我继续往前走。)”可推知，作者在探索这条土路的时候思想是矛盾的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.( 我的心怦怦直跳，双腿疼痛。当我转过最后一个弯，看到远处有什么东西时，我几乎要哭了。)”可知，作者开始害怕，从而推知，划线的“something”指的作者内心的害怕和恐惧。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again.( 最近我经常想起那次经历。其实，在我们的生活中，所有的道路，无论多么曲折，都可以把我们带回家。)”可知，文章讲述了作者小时候在回家的路上选择了一条冒险的小路，最终在天黑以前到家的故事。由此作者感慨：这辈子所有的路不管怎样波折最终都会引导着我们回家。故文章最好的标题是“所有的道路都能引导你回家”。故选D项。 C In recent years, prefabricated dishes have grown rapidly popular in China. These are pre-cooked, seasoned, and packaged meals that require little to no preparation, offering a quick and convenient dining option without sacrificing major taste or nutrition. As people grow increasingly busier, time for cooking has become a rare resource. Prefabricated dishes address this pressing need by offering a significant reduction in meal preparation time. Other factors also contribute to their popularity — such as the convenience of e-commerce and delivery services that allow easy online ordering and quick home delivery, and the role of modern technology like vacuum and adjusted atmosphere packaging slows food spoilage. Along with precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality, it is ultimately the fundamental demand for time-saving solutions in a nonstop world that serves as the primary driving force for their widespread acceptance. However, the rise of prefabricated dishes is not without concerns. Health issues remain a primary consideration, as some products contain additives and preservatives, which could pose risks if consumed excessively. Additionally, when compared to traditional freshly prepared meals, they often fall short in keeping the original flavor and nutritional value. In response, governments have carried out stricter safety standards and enhanced quality control measures. Meanwhile, certain manufacturers are actively exploring the use of natural ingredients and reducing additives to improve nutritional composition. As a growing trend in China’s food industry, prefabricated dishes provide undeniable convenience, yet consumers are advised to remain cautious about their dietary choices. The future of the industry relies on balanced development — where convenience, safety, and health can coexist. 8. What is the main reason behind the popularity of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. The social trend of pursuing a modern lifestyle. B. The government’s strong promotion and supports. C. The superior flavor they offer compared to home-cooked meals. D. The time-saving convenience they provide in a fast-paced society. 9. The underlined word “spoilage” in Paragraph 2 most probably means the process of ______. A. losing nutritional value B. changing original flavor C. becoming bad or unfit to eat D. being delivered to customers 10. Which of the following best describes the current situation of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. They are gradually replacing traditional cooking in most households. B. They are achieving widespread acceptance and also arousing doubts. C. They are considered as equally nutritious as freshly prepared meals. D. They have mostly addressed food safety issues through regulations. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the industry’s future? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了预制菜在中国迅速流行的原因、带来的问题以及目前的发展现状，并对其未来提出了期望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As people grow increasingly busier, time for cooking has become a rare resource. Prefabricated dishes address this pressing need by offering a significant reduction in meal preparation time. (随着人们越来越忙，烹饪时间成为一种稀缺资源。预制菜通过大幅减少备餐时间来解决这一迫切需求)”和“Along with precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality, it is ultimately the fundamental demand for time-saving solutions in a nonstop world that serves as the primary driving force for their widespread acceptance. (除了精确的温度控制和杀菌技术能确保安全与质量外，最终而言，在这个不停运转的世界里，人们对省时解决方案的基本需求才是它们被广泛接受的主要驱动力)”可知，预制菜受欢迎的主要原因是它们在快节奏的社会中提供了节省时间的便利。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“the role of modern technology like vacuum and adjusted atmosphere packaging slows food spoilage (真空和气调包装等现代技术的作用减缓了食物的spoilage)”及“precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality (精确的温度控制和杀菌技术能确保安全与质量)”可知，真空包装、气调包装与温控杀菌技术的核心作用是保障食品安全与品质，减缓食物变质。因此，spoilage指的是“食物变质、不宜食用的过程”。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In recent years, prefabricated dishes have grown rapidly popular in China. (近年来，预制菜在中国迅速流行起来)”和第三段中“However, the rise of prefabricated dishes is not without concerns. Health issues remain a primary consideration, as some products contain additives and preservatives, which could pose risks if consumed excessively. (然而，预制菜的兴起并非没有担忧。健康问题仍然是首要考虑因素，因为一些产品含有添加剂和防腐剂，过量食用可能会带来风险)”可知，预制菜获得了广泛接受，但也引起了一些担忧。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a growing trend in China’s food industry, prefabricated dishes provide undeniable convenience, yet consumers are advised to remain cautious about their dietary choices. The future of the industry relies on balanced development — where convenience, safety, and health can coexist. (作为中国食品行业的一个日益增长的趋势，预制菜提供了不可否认的便利性，但建议消费者在饮食选择上保持谨慎。该行业的未来取决于均衡发展——让便利、安全与健康能够共存)”可知，作者既提到了预制菜的便利性，也指出了其存在的问题，并对其未来提出了期望。因此，作者对预制菜行业的未来持客观态度。故选B项。 D White noise is defined as noise that contains a mixture of all audible frequencies that human ears can hear (about 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz). This type of noise includes low-, midrange - and high-frequency sounds. Some noise types (or colors) get their names based on colors of light wavelengths. White light contains all the frequencies in the visible range, so you can see how white noise earned its name. Another way to think about it is as “20,000 tones all playing at the same time.” Why is it good to sleep with white noise? It can be an effective tool for “noise masking” and help avoid trouble sleeping. Studies indicate that listening to white noise for sleep can have some payoffs, such as by blocking out other sounds that can startle you out of sleep. Researchers believe that white noise is a noise that makes someone’s hearing threshold level (阀域值) reach its maximum rate, which means the presence sounds in the background become less capable of stimulating the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) region of the brain during sleep. A study published in 2021 examined the effects of white noise on sleep for 10 New York City residents who live in a high-noise environment. While the sample size is small, the data showed that “white noise significantly improved sleep based on subjective and objective measurements in subjects complaining of difficulty sleeping due to high levels of environmental noise.” Further researches confirms these findings. For instance, white noise helped improved average total sleep time in patients admitted to a coronary care unit in a 2016 study, while research published in 2022 found that critically ill patients improved their sleep quality with the use of white noise. White noise are now widely available. There’s one option to use a sleep machine app on your phone if you don’t want to purchase a device. If using white noise while studying, try listening to YouTube videos on your computer or phone completely for free, which can play in the background and drown out other distracting sounds. 12. Why is listening to white noise beneficial to sleep? A. It influences the colors of light wavelengths. B. It plays many tones at the same time. C It blocks out other sounds that disturb sleep. D. It contains all audible frequencies. 13. What did the studies find about the effects of white noise on sleep? A. White noise improved the sleep of residents in noisy areas. B. White noise was ineffective for the sleep of critically ill patients. C. White noise caused patients’ difficulty sleeping. D. White noise improved average total sleep time largely. 14. How does the author introduce the ways of getting white noise? A By listing some figures. B. By giving an example. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving a definition. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Why is White Noise? B. What is White Noise? C. How to Get White Noise? D. Where to Get White Noise? 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了白噪音的定义、对睡眠的好处、相关研究结果以及获取白噪音的方式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It can be an effective tool for “noise masking” and help avoid trouble sleeping. Studies indicate that listening to white noise for sleep can have some payoffs, such as by blocking out other sounds that can startle you out of sleep.(它可以成为“噪音掩蔽”的有效工具，帮助避免睡眠问题。研究表明，听白噪音睡觉有一些好处，比如可以屏蔽其他会把你从睡眠中惊醒的声音。)”可知，听白噪音对睡眠有益是因为它可以屏蔽其他干扰睡眠的声音。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A study published in 2021 examined the effects of white noise on sleep for 10 New York City residents who live in a high-noise environment. While the sample size is small, the data showed that “white noise significantly improved sleep based on subjective and objective measurements in subjects complaining of difficulty sleeping due to high levels of environmental noise.”(2021年发表的一项研究调查了白噪音对10名居住在高噪音环境中的纽约市居民睡眠的影响。虽然样本量较小，但数据显示，“根据主观和客观测量，白噪音显著改善了那些因环境噪音高而抱怨睡眠困难的受试者的睡眠。”)”可知，研究发现白噪音改善了噪音地区居民的睡眠。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There’s one option to use a sleep machine app on your phone if you don’t want to purchase a device. If using white noise while studying, try listening to YouTube videos on your computer or phone completely for free, which can play in the background and drown out other distracting sounds.(如果你不想购买设备，可以在手机上使用睡眠机器应用程序。如果在学习时使用白噪音，可以尝试在电脑或手机上完全免费地收听YouTube视频，这些视频可以在后台播放，并淹没其他分散注意力的声音。)”可知，作者通过举例（使用手机睡眠机器应用程序、在电脑或手机上收听YouTube视频）来介绍获取白噪音的方式。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Why is it good to sleep with white noise? It can be an effective tool for ‘noise masking’ and help avoid trouble sleeping.(为什么听白色噪音有助于睡眠？它是一种有效的‘噪音屏蔽’工具，有助于避免睡眠问题。)”、第三段对白色噪音助眠原理的解释，以及第四段多项研究验证其改善睡眠的效果可知，文章核心围绕“白色噪音为何有用（尤其助眠作用）”展开。因此A选项“Why is White Noise?(为什么是白噪音？)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. ____16____ Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. ____17____ The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. ____18____ They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. ____19____ Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. ____20____ matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了餐具颜色对食物感受的影响，以及如何通过选择合适的餐具颜色来提升用餐体验。 【16题详解】 根据上文“But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. (但成功不仅仅取决于新鲜的食材或烹饪技巧。)”以及下文“Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. (颜色的影响从第一眼就开始了。)”可知，上文说用餐体验不仅仅取决于新鲜的食材或烹饪技巧，下文则提到了颜色。G选项“The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. (盘子等餐具的颜色会影响客人对食物的感受。)”承接上文“成功的用餐体验不止于食材和厨艺”，引出下文“颜色的影响”，“The colour of tableware”与下文“Colour’s influence”直接呼应，明确了文章核心话题 —— 餐具颜色的重要性。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. (颜色的影响始于第一眼。)”以及下文“The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. (大脑处理颜色信息并将其与味道关联，让我们判断同一道菜是美味、普通还是令人反感。)”可知，此处应描述第一眼看到食物颜色后的一系列反应，D选项“That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. (这种最初的视觉印象会引发连锁反应。)”中的“initial visual impression”与上文的“first glance”相呼应，“a chain reaction”则引出下文大脑对颜色信息的处理和判断。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. (对于挑食的人来说，碗的颜色至关重要。)”以及下文“They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. (他们经常发现放在红色或蓝色碗里的饭菜比放在白色碗里的更咸。)”可知，此处应描述挑食者对餐具颜色的敏感反应，F选项“Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. (他们对餐具颜色的反应往往更敏感。)”解释了“碗的颜色对挑食者至关重要”的原因，即敏感度更高，“Their”指代“picky eaters”，“more sensitive”与下文具体的颜色反应相呼应，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. (例如，黑色盘子会让食物看起来更咸、分量更大。这意味着深色餐具需要仔细考虑菜品的味道和分量。)”可知，此处应描述深色盘子对食物感受的影响，A选项“Dark plates have more varied effects. (深色盘子有更多样化的效果。)”是对下文内容的概括，“Dark plates”对应下文 “Black plates”“dark tableware”，“more varied effects”点明深色餐具的特点，引出下文具体举例说明，适合作为段落首句。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. (相反，亮色盘子能增添创意，突出颜色较淡的食物，但也可能出错。)”以及下文“matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. (如果盘子的颜色和食物的颜色太接近，会让食物看起来分量更小，因为一切都融合在一起了。)”可知，此处应描述明亮盘子可能出错的具体情况，C选项“The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. (错误的明亮色调会让食物看起来不自然。)” 是对“亮色盘子可能出错”的具体说明，与下文“颜色过于接近导致分量显小”并列，补充了亮色餐具的另一个弊端，“The wrong bright shade”呼应上文“can go wrong”，衔接紧密。故选C项。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分24分) 第一节(共15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My wife and I went to Dubai for sightseeing in April this year.

Devoret and JohnM. Martinis, ____36____ (award) the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday. They won the prize for their discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical (量子力学的) tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences praised their experiments, ____37____ (say) they revealed quantum physics in action. It stressed that ____38____ makes the discovery special is its mix of theory and practice: it not only confirms a key quantum principle, but also provides a ____39____ (practice) solution for testing quantum effects in real-world devices. Quantum mechanics allows particles (粒子) ____40____ (pass) through barriers, a process ____41____ (call) tunnelling. Normally, such effects fade when many particles are involved, but their experiments showed quantum behavior can still appear on a large scale. “Quantum mechanics is not just a theory — it serves as the basis of all digital technology we use now,” said Olle Eriksson, chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics. 【答案】36. were awarded 37. saying 38. what 39. practical 40. to pass 41. called 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章宣布了2025年诺贝尔物理学奖的获奖者为三位在美国工作的科学家——约翰・克拉克、米歇尔・H・德沃尔和约翰・M・马丁尼斯，表彰他们在电路中发现了宏观量子力学隧穿和能量量子化。 【36题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：斯德哥尔摩电——当地时间周二，三位在美国工作的科学家约翰・克拉克、米歇尔・H・德沃尔和约翰・M・马丁尼斯被授予2025 年诺贝尔物理学奖。空处作谓语，句子主语 Three US-based scientists 与 award“授予”之间是被动关系，根据时间状语on Tuesday可知，此处描述过去的事情，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，所以be动词为were。故填were awarded。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：瑞典皇家科学院对他们实验予以赞扬，称这些实验揭示了量子物理在实际运作中的情形。空处需填非谓语动词作状语，句子主语The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences与动词say之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词形式saying作伴随状语，补充说明赞扬的具体内容。故填saying。 【38题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：它强调，这一发现的特别之处在于它融合了理论与实践：它不仅证实了一项关键的量子原理，还为在现实设备中测试量子效应提供了一个切实可行的解决方案。“________ makes the discovery special”为主语从句，从句缺少主语，且指物，所以此处用连接代词what引导主语从句。故填what。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它强调，这一发现的特别之处在于它融合了理论与实践：它不仅证实了一项关键的量子原理，还为在现实设备中测试量子效应提供了一个切实可行的解决方案。空处作定语修饰名词solution，需用形容词practical。故填practical。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：量子力学使得粒子能够穿过障碍物，这一过程被称为“隧穿效应”。allow sb/sth to do sth为固定搭配，意为“使……能够作某事”，所以此处用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to pass。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：量子力学允许粒子穿过障碍物，这一过程被称为隧穿。空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词process，call与名词process为被动关系，所以此处用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。 第四部分写作(共三节，满分46分) 第一节英汉互译(共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分) 42. How this could be done was a challenging question at the time. (英译汉) ____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】如何实现这一目标成为当时一个具挑战性的问题。 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。How this could be done意为“如何实现这一目标”，是how引导的主语从句，连接代词how在从句中作方式状语；was意为“是”；a challenging question意为“一个具挑战性的问题”；at the time意为“当时”。故翻译成：如何实现这一目标成为当时一个具挑战性的问题。 43. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump removed so that it could not be used. (英译汉) 【答案】于是，他让人拆掉了水泵的把手，这样水泵就用不成了。 【解析】 【详解】考查英译汉。副词accordingly表示“于是”；he had the handle of the pump removed表示“他让人拆掉了水泵的把手”，为have+宾语+宾补结构；so that引导目的状语从句，it could not be used表示“水泵就用不成了”。故翻译为：于是，他让人拆掉了水泵的把手，这样水泵就用不成了。 44. 身为土地之子，他不在乎名利。(汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As a man of the soil, he cares little for celebrity or money. 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。表示“身为”应用介词as；表示“土地之子”应用a man of the soil；表示“他”应用he；表示“不在乎”应用care little for，陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为he，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式；表示“名利”应用celebrity or money。故翻译成：As a man of the soil, he cares little for celebrity or money. 45. Snow怀疑水泵就是罪魁祸首。（汉译英） 【答案】Snow suspected that the water pump was to blame. 【解析】 【详解】考查动词、短语和名词。主语为Snow，表示“怀疑”应用动词suspect，主句谓语，后面需加宾语从句；表示“水泵”短语为the water pump作宾语从句的主语；表示“罪魁祸首”短语为be to blame，作宾语从句的谓语，从句不缺成分，需用连接词that引导。又根据句子情景分析发生在过去的将来。故翻译为Snow suspected that the water pump was to blame. 第二节应用文写作(满分15分) 46. 对于青少年来说，楷模的影响是深远的。它对塑造青少年的理想、态度乃至行为都起着重要作用。请你以此为主题写一篇倡议书发表在你校英文报上，号召同学们学习一个楷模人物(如科学家、运动员、医生等)。内容包括： 1.简要介绍人物的事迹、主要贡献和优秀品质； 2.发出倡议。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.开头已给出，不计入总词数。 A Role Model We should Follow As teenagers, we are easily influenced by those around us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 A Role Model We should Follow As teenagers, we are easily influenced by those around us.

Since then, he had managed the shop, collecting and selling all kinds of jewelry. In the little front window, gold rings, silver earrings, necklaces and other beautiful items of jewelry were all on display for passers-by to see. On a sunny winter afternoon, a little boy was standing before the window, his forehead against the glass, studying each treasure, as if he were looking for something special. Finally, he straightened up with a satisfied smile and entered the shop. “Mister, can I see the blue necklace in the window please?” the little boy asked David eagerly. The necklace had been bought for $100 from a middle-aged lady a few months ago, who seemed in great need of money. David lifted out the necklace. “Are you buying it for someone?” David asked. “It is for my mother. It looks just like the one she lost recently. You see, this will be the first Christmas since my father passed away. I’ve been looking for the most wonderful present for her. Will you wrap it up pretty for me, please?” “How much money do you have?” asked David. The little boy poured out a handful of pennies on the counter and explained, “I emptied my bank.” David looked at him thoughtfully. Then he carefully drew back the necklace. The price tag (标签) was visible to him but not to the little boy. How could he tell him? “Just a minute,” he said, and then turned towards the back of the store and removed the price tag. Over his shoulder, he called,“What’s your name?” “Jimmy.” When David returned to where Jimmy waited, a package lay in his hand, wrapped in blue paper and tied with a red ribbon (丝带). “Here you are,” he said. Jimmy took it carefully and smiled happily at the shop owner over his shoulder as he ran out of the door. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Jimmy got home and gave the gift to his mom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jimmy’s mother packed the necklace back up again and said, “Let’s go back to the shop!” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Jimmy got home and gave the gift to his mom. His mother was surprised and happy when she opened the package, tears of joy and excitement shimmering in her eyes. As she examined it closer, her heart sank suddenly. The necklace Jimmy had given her was the same one that she had sold in desperation. Shocked, the mother gasped, “It can’t be! How did you ever afford this, my dear boy?” Jimmy, beaming with pride, simply said, “I used all my savings. The shopkeeper was very kind.” The mom just murmured in response,“There must be something wrong.” Jimmy was confused at his mother’s sudden change of attitude, not knowing what had happened. Jimmy’s mother packed the necklace back up again and said, “Let’s go back to the shop!” On the way to the shop, his mother explained that the necklace was worth more than a hundred dollars, and that the shop owner must have made a mistake. However, when they got there, David refused to take the necklace back. “Your son’s gesture is priceless,” David said with a smile.“Keep the necklace as a reminder of his love.” Deeply moved and grateful, Jimmy and his mother left the shop. It is love that makes the world go around, whether it’s love from your family or love from strangers. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了珠宝店老板David在经营店铺时，遇到一个小男孩Jimmy想为去世父亲的第一个圣诞节给母亲买一条与她丢失的相似的蓝色项链作为礼物，但小男孩只有一把便士，大卫被其孝心打动，去掉价格标签将项链包装好送给他的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Jimmy回到家，把礼物送给了妈妈。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈看到礼物后的反应以及Jimmy解释礼物的来历。 ②由第二段首句内容“妈妈把项链重新包好，说：“我们回那家店去！””可知，第二段可描写David拒绝收回项链并解释原因，Jimmy和妈妈表示感动和感激。 2.续写线索：妈妈的反应——解释礼物来历——David拒绝收回项链——解释原因——Jimmy和妈妈感动并表达感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①检查：examine/check out ②低声说：murmur/whisper ③发生：happen/take place ④解释：explain/account for 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Jimmy was confused at his mother’s sudden change of attitude, not knowing what had happened.（运用了现在分词作状语，what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] It is love that makes the world go around, whether it’s love from your family or love from strangers.（运用了It is…that…强调句，whether…or…引导让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
