B If you’re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional roller-coaster that comes with sports spectatorship (观看). Whether you’re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium or watching a game at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and lows as you celebrate your favorite team or athlete. Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you? The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater well-being than those who don’t. A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by Anglia Ruskin University in the UK found that sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction, and this contributes to forging group identity and belonging.” But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the internet may also have positive effects, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues. They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, sports spectators tended to have richer social networks than non-spectators. The authors suggest that the social networks gained through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms. Cheering at sports events and discussing teams with friends promotes unity, reducing loneliness and depression, showing that sports’ health benefits extend beyond physical activity to include social bonding and overall well-being. 24. Why does the author mention Croatia’s study? A. To offer an evidence. B. To present an example. C. To describe a finding. D. To lead into a topic. 25. What does the underlined word “forging” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Shaping. B. Mending. C. Breaking. D. Predicting. 26. What do Tsuji and colleagues advise people to do? A. Stream sports matches. B. Play sports in person. C. Expand social networks. D. Promote sports awareness. 27. What is the suitable title for the text? A. How Risky Is Watching Live Sports? B. What Is the Secret to Sports Spectatorship? C. Is Watching Sports Good for Your Well-being? D. Does Watching Sports Increase Depressive Symptoms? C Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world. A study conducted by the US think tank (智囊团) Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers’ lives.    Changing relationships    High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face-to-face communication. “It makes in-person relationships harder because people give attention to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends,” Cooper said. There’s also a greater possibility of things getting lost in translation over social media. “If half of your relationship is over social media, you don’t really know how the other person is reacting,” Sienna Schulte, a junior student from Illinois, said. Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland, but they’re still able to frequently communicate with one another. “I can feel close to someone that I’m talking to via FaceTime,” Kaplan said.    Wanting to be “liked”    The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19-year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her obsessed (痴迷) with appearing perfect online. Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager’s self-esteem (自尊). In particular, anonymous (匿名的) social media apps such as Yik Yak may provide opportunities for cyberbullying. The app allows users within 5 miles (8km) to create and add comments to everything. Teenagers who get negative comments on these sites can’t help but feel hurt.    Opening new doors    However, Armin Korsos, a student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube. “Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that was never possible before,” Korsos said. But Korsos recognizes that social media has become a distraction. “Social media, though it helps people connect with their friends and stay updated, is not all necessary.” 28. How does social media change relationships, according to the article? A. It pushes people to meet their friends more often offline. B. It encourages people to pay more attention to those around them. C. It enables users to understand accurately what others are talking about online. D. It allows people to keep in touch with their friends who live far away more easily. 29. Essena O’Neill decided to disconnect herself from social media because ______. A. she couldn’t tolerate cyber bullying on social media B. she wanted to spend more time with her friends in reality C. she was troubled by her desire to look perfect on social media D. she always felt hurt by the negative information online 30. Which statement about the use of social media would Armin Korsos probably agree with? A. The use of social media taught him to turn negative comments into motivations. B. Social media can easily become an addiction, despite its benefits. C. Social media is mostly a distraction to teenagers, so it is unnecessary for it to exist. D. If used well social media can create opportunities for teenagers to develop themselves. 31. What is the article mainly about? A. The major problems with social media. B. The effect of social media on teenagers. C. How teenagers benefit from social media. D. Why social media appeals so much to teenagers. D The Amazon rainforest spreads across nine South American countries but most of it (60%) is in Brazil. Brazilian scientists think they might have found a way to reverse the damage caused by deforestation and turn farmland back into forest. The secret lies in ancient local knowledge of soil. Amazonian dark earth (ADE) is a thick, black soil found deep in the Amazon rainforest, and it could help restore forests around the world. ADE is a kind of compost — a soil made from dead plants and animals. Various kinds of compost are sold in gardening centers around the world, but ADE is unique. It was created by indigenous people (the descendants of people who lived somewhere before another culture arrived and took over) from the Amazon between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago. The Amazonian people, today known as Amerindians, created ADE using charcoal from fires, animal bones, food waste and poo. It contains microbes, including bacteria that help to turn chemicals in the soil into useful nutrients that feed plants and trees. Vast areas of the Amazon have been cut down, mostly to make way for grassland for raising cattle. Scientists are looking for a way to turn grassland back into rainforest and revive forest ecosystems. These support thousands of animal and plant species, many of them unique to the area. Forests also absorb lots of carbon dioxide, a gas that cause climate change. To see if the Amazon’s special soil could help, the scientists grew grasses and trees in ADE, regular earth and a mixture of both. Trees grown in ADE were up to six times taller than those in regular soil. ADE takes hundreds of years to create, so the scientists can’t simply make more. Team member, Dr. Siu Mui Tsai, said that instead they want to try and “copy its characteristics”, especially its helpful microbes, and see if it could help to restore natural habitats. 32. What are Brazilian scientists trying to do? A. To bring forests back. B. To measure damage. C. To reduce farmland. D. To dig out ancient soil. 33. What made the Amazonian dark earth special? A. Dead plants. B. Animal bones. C. Food waste. D. Bacteria inside. 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The reasons for cutting down forests. B. The benefits of raising cattle. C. The significance of forest ecosystems. D. The influence of climate change. 35. Which of the following might Dr. Siu agree with? A. Amazonian dark earth is helpful to microbes. B. Amazonian dark earth is produced in large quantities. C. Microbes are beneficial to the revival of forests. D. Microbes are the characteristics of the natural habitats. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文中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。 Diversity comes in many forms: gender, race, age, culture, etc. All of these contribute to an individual’s unique experience of the world.

My heart sank during the holiday season every time I looked at the long line of kids waiting to meet Santa. This was not an activity our family could enjoy. The noise and crowds caused sensory (感官的) overload for my five-year-old son Noah, an autistic (患自闭症的) child. I also had a younger son, Henry, who needed an extra hand. Waiting in line was hardly possible. I always hoped for the best but planned for the worst when I took the boys out of the house, but I knew that attempting to get a picture with Santa wasn’t worth the risk. If we had attempted to stand in line for even a few minutes, I would have been chasing Noah, and Henry would have experienced an emotional breakdown. It was easier to stay at home. On the afternoon of Christmas Eve a year ago, the phone rang. The voice on the other end of the line said, “If you’re at home this evening, I’d like to arrange for Santa to stop by.” It was Denny, the friendly owner of a company, who had helped us with our do-it-yourself project. In a short time he was at our home, Denny’s kindness and ability to relate to our kids were evident. I felt nervous and excited about having Santa come to our home. Denny told me it would be well arranged. Would our kids even notice? Would they be frightened by a stranger in a red suit? Would they cry? A few minutes before I was planning to cook dinner on Christmas Eve, Santa tapped gently on the living-room window. Noah was speechless, and his jaw dropped. Henry, two years old, waved and said, “Hi, Santa! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Excited and nervous, I opened the door and Santa stepped inside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Santa left after staying for only a few minutes, and I shed tears. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 琼海市嘉积中学2025-2026学年第一学期高三年级第三次月考 英语科试题 (时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

Anything else? M: Yes, we also hold monthly workshops on organic farming and cooking with home-grown produce. W: Do kids in the neighborhood get involved? M: Absolutely. They can join the “Little Gardeners” club, where they learn to water plants, harvest vegetables, and make simple snacks with what they grow. W: That must help them understand where food comes from and develop a sense of responsibility. M: Exactly. Kids also get to sell some of their harvest at the community market and donate the money to local animal shelters. W: So the garden isn’t just for growing plants, but for bringing people closer too. M: That’s the objective of the project. W: Thanks, Ms. Clark. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. How often is the Fireworks Festival held? A. Once a year. B. Twice a month. C.

It usually takes place on a weekend evening at the riverside park. As the sun sets around 6, the park fills with excitement. Families spread out blankets, kids laugh while holding glow sticks, and food stalls sell tasty snacks like popcorn and ice cream. Around 8 p.m., the first firework shoots up into the sky. The firework will end in 10 pm. Actually, what I love most is the joy on everyone’s faces. Friends cheer, parents take photos, and even strangers share smiles. The festival isn’t just about fireworks; it’s a time for the community to come together. It reminds us of the beauty of our city and the happiness of sharing good moments with others. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Stained Glass Museum Location: Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB7 4DL Entrance fees: Adults: £5.00 Children under 16: Free (when entering with a paying adult) Opening Hours •Summer(1 April - 31 October) Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm (last entry: 4:30 pm) •Winter(1 November-31 March) Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm (last entry: 3:30 pm) Other Visitor Information •Dogs: We are a dog-friendly museum.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了彩色玻璃博物馆的相关信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Opening Hours下的“Summer(1 April - 31 October) Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am-5:00 pm (last entry:4:30 pm)(夏季（4月1日至10月31日）星期二至星期六上午10时至下午5时（最后入场时间：下午4时30分）)”可知，9月份去博物馆最迟能进馆的时间是下午4:30，故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Other Visitor Information下的“Bags: The museum does not permit large bags in order to protect its collections.(袋子：为了保护藏品，博物馆不允许携带袋子)”可知，为了保护藏品，博物馆不允许携带大袋子进入。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Drop-in Crafts (工艺品) (lasting 2 hours) - 10:00 am, 1:00 pm(ground floor, the south-west transept). Free drop-in crafts for children and young people will be offered by the entrance to the museum between these times.(即兴手工艺制作（持续2小时）——上午10点、下午1点（西南跨院一楼）。 在这些时间段之间，博物馆入口处将为儿童和年轻人提供免费的即兴手工艺制作活动)”可知，Drop-in Crafts会为儿童和年轻人提供免费的手工制品。因此，如果你想收到礼物，你应该参加该活动。故选A。 B If you’re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional roller-coaster that comes with sports spectatorship (观看). Whether you’re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium or watching a game at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and lows as you celebrate your favorite team or athlete. Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you? The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater well-being than those who don’t. A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by Anglia Ruskin University in the UK found that sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction, and this contributes to forging group identity and belonging.” But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the internet may also have positive effects, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues. They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, sports spectators tended to have richer social networks than non-spectators. The authors suggest that the social networks gained through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms. Cheering at sports events and discussing teams with friends promotes unity, reducing loneliness and depression, showing that sports’ health benefits extend beyond physical activity to include social bonding and overall well-being. 24. Why does the author mention Croatia’s study? A. To offer an evidence. B. To present an example. C. To describe a finding. D. To lead into a topic. 25. What does the underlined word “forging” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Shaping. B. Mending. C. Breaking. D. Predicting. 26. What do Tsuji and colleagues advise people to do? A. Stream sports matches. B. Play sports in person. C. Expand social networks. D. Promote sports awareness. 27. What is the suitable title for the text? A. How Risky Is Watching Live Sports? B. What Is the Secret to Sports Spectatorship? C. Is Watching Sports Good for Your Well-being? D. Does Watching Sports Increase Depressive Symptoms? 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了观看体育比赛是否有利于健康。 24题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you? (事实上，这些感受如此强烈，以至于克罗地亚一项在PubMed上发表的研究显示，观看足球比赛时的情绪压力会增加心血管事件发生的风险。但是，观看体育比赛也会对你有益吗？)”可知，作者提到克罗地亚的研究是为了引出话题，即观看体育比赛是否也有好处。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction, and this contributes to forging group identity and belonging. (观看各种类型的体育直播为社会互动提供了许多机会，这有助于forging群体认同和归属感。)”可知，观看各种现场体育比赛提供了许多社交互动的机会，这有助于塑造群体认同感和归属感。因此，forging在此处的意思是“塑造，形成”，与选项A“Shaping.(塑造)”相符。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Watching sports on TV or on the internet may also have positive effects, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues. (根据Tsuji及其同事的一项研究，通过电视或互联网观看体育比赛也可能产生积极影响。)”可知，Tsuji和他的同事们建议人们通过流媒体直播观看体育比赛。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Whether you’re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium or watching a game at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and lows as you celebrate your favorite team or athlete. Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you? (无论是在体育场内置身于熙熙攘攘的人群中，还是在家通过电视观看比赛，当你为自己喜爱的球队或运动员加油时，都很容易陷入情绪的高涨与低落之中。事实上，这些感受如此强烈，以至于克罗地亚一项在PubMed上发表的研究显示，观看足球比赛时的情绪压力会增加心血管事件发生的风险。但是，观看体育比赛也会对你有益吗？)”和最后一段中“Cheering at sports events and discussing teams with friends promotes unity, reducing loneliness and depression, showing that sports’ health benefits extend beyond physical activity to include social bonding and overall well-being. (在体育赛事中欢呼并与朋友讨论球队促进了团结，减少了孤独感和抑郁情绪，这表明体育带来的健康益处不仅限于身体活动，还包括社交联系和整体幸福感。)”可知，文章主要讨论的是观看体育比赛是否有利于健康，所以最好的标题是“Is Watching Sports Good for Your Well-being? (看体育运动对你的健康有好处吗？)”。故选C。 C Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world. A study conducted by the US think tank (智囊团) Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers’ lives.    Changing relationships    High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face-to-face communication. “It makes in-person relationships harder because people give attention to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends,” Cooper said. There’s also a greater possibility of things getting lost in translation over social media. “If half of your relationship is over social media, you don’t really know how the other person is reacting,” Sienna Schulte, a junior student from Illinois, said. Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland, but they’re still able to frequently communicate with one another. “I can feel close to someone that I’m talking to via FaceTime,” Kaplan said.    Wanting to be “liked”    The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19-year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her obsessed (痴迷) with appearing perfect online. Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager’s self-esteem (自尊). In particular, anonymous (匿名的) social media apps such as Yik Yak may provide opportunities for cyberbullying. The app allows users within 5 miles (8km) to create and add comments to everything. Teenagers who get negative comments on these sites can’t help but feel hurt.    Opening new doors    However, Armin Korsos, a student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube. “Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that was never possible before,” Korsos said. But Korsos recognizes that social media has become a distraction. “Social media, though it helps people connect with their friends and stay updated, is not all necessary.” 28. How does social media change relationships, according to the article? A. It pushes people to meet their friends more often offline. B. It encourages people to pay more attention to those around them. C. It enables users to understand accurately what others are talking about online. D. It allows people to keep in touch with their friends who live far away more easily. 29. Essena O’Neill decided to disconnect herself from social media because ______. A. she couldn’t tolerate cyber bullying on social media B. she wanted to spend more time with her friends in reality C. she was troubled by her desire to look perfect on social media D. she always felt hurt by the negative information online 30. Which statement about the use of social media would Armin Korsos probably agree with? A. The use of social media taught him to turn negative comments into motivations. B. Social media can easily become an addiction, despite its benefits. C. Social media is mostly a distraction to teenagers, so it is unnecessary for it to exist. D. If used well, social media can create opportunities for teenagers to develop themselves. 31. What is the article mainly about? A. The major problems with social media. B. The effect of social media on teenagers. C. How teenagers benefit from social media. D. Why social media appeals so much to teenagers. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文探讨了社交媒体对青少年生活的影响，包括改变人际关系、影响自我认知以及带来新的机遇和挑战。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据Changing relationships部分“Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland, but they’re still able to frequently communicate with one another.(然而，一些人认为社交媒体使得与来自任何地方的人建立关系变得更容易。来自伊利诺伊州的贝丝·卡普兰通过社交媒体结识了她的异地朋友。他目前住在苏格兰，但他们仍然能够经常交流。)”可知，社交媒体让人们更容易与住在远方的朋友保持联系。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wanting to be “liked”部分“The 19-year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her obsessed with appearing perfect online.(19岁的Essena O’Neill在社交网络服务Instagram上宣布，她要退出社交媒体，因为这让她痴迷于在网上呈现完美形象。)”可知，Essena O’Neill决定与社交媒体断绝联系是因为她因渴望在社交媒体上看起来完美而感到困扰。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据Opening new doors部分“Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that was never possible before.( 社交媒体可以帮助人们以一种前所未有的方式向世界展示自己和自己的才华。)”和“Social media, though it helps people connect with their friends and stay updated, is not all necessary.(社交媒体虽然有助于人们与朋友联系并保持更新，但并不是所有都是必要的。)”可知，Armin Korsos认为社交媒体可以帮助人们展示自己和才华，但也有其不必要之处，即如果使用得当，社交媒体可以为青少年创造发展自己的机会。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers’ lives.(社交媒体的广泛传播几乎改变了青少年生活的方方面面。)”和文章接下来分别从改变人际关系、渴望被“喜欢”和开启新大门三个方面具体阐述了社交媒体对青少年的影响可知，本文主要介绍了社交媒体对青少年的影响。故选B。 D The Amazon rainforest spreads across nine South American countries but most of it (60%) is in Brazil. Brazilian scientists think they might have found a way to reverse the damage caused by deforestation and turn farmland back into forest. The secret lies in ancient local knowledge of soil. Amazonian dark earth (ADE) is a thick, black soil found deep in the Amazon rainforest, and it could help restore forests around the world. ADE is a kind of compost — a soil made from dead plants and animals. Various kinds of compost are sold in gardening centers around the world, but ADE is unique. It was created by indigenous people (the descendants of people who lived somewhere before another culture arrived and took over) from the Amazon between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago. The Amazonian people, today known as Amerindians, created ADE using charcoal from fires, animal bones, food waste and poo. It contains microbes, including bacteria that help to turn chemicals in the soil into useful nutrients that feed plants and trees. Vast areas of the Amazon have been cut down, mostly to make way for grassland for raising cattle. Scientists are looking for a way to turn grassland back into rainforest and revive forest ecosystems. These support thousands of animal and plant species, many of them unique to the area. Forests also absorb lots of carbon dioxide, a gas that cause climate change. To see if the Amazon’s special soil could help, the scientists grew grasses and trees in ADE, regular earth and a mixture of both. Trees grown in ADE were up to six times taller than those in regular soil. ADE takes hundreds of years to create, so the scientists can’t simply make more. Team member, Dr. Siu Mui Tsai, said that instead they want to try and “copy its characteristics”, especially its helpful microbes, and see if it could help to restore natural habitats. 32. What are Brazilian scientists trying to do? A. To bring forests back. B. To measure damage. C. To reduce farmland. D. To dig out ancient soil. 33. What made the Amazonian dark earth special? A. Dead plants. B. Animal bones. C. Food waste. D. Bacteria inside. 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The reasons for cutting down forests. B. The benefits of raising cattle. C. The significance of forest ecosystems. D. The influence of climate change. 35. Which of the following might Dr. Siu agree with? A. Amazonian dark earth is helpful to microbes. B. Amazonian dark earth is produced in large quantities. C. Microbes are beneficial to the revival of forests. D. Microbes are the characteristics of the natural habitats. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴西科学家发现当地亚马逊森林中的黑土可能可以帮助人们恢复森林生态系统，这种黑土富含有益的微生物，有助于土壤中成分的转化，帮助植物的生长，但这种黑土形成所需的时间较长，因此科学家只能通过复刻其特征来尝试恢复自然栖息地。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Brazilian scientists think they might have found a way to reverse the damage caused by deforestation and turn farmland back into forest. The secret lies in ancient local knowledge of soil. (巴西科学家认为，他们可能已经找到了一种方法，可以扭转森林砍伐造成的破坏，让农田重新变成森林。秘密在于当地古老的土壤知识)”可知，这些科学家在尝试恢复被破坏的森林。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Amazonian people, today known as Amerindians, created ADE using charcoal from fires, animal bones, food waste and poo. It contains microbes, including bacteria that help to turn chemicals in the soil into useful nutrients that feed plants and trees. (亚马逊人，今天被称为美洲印第安人，用木炭、动物骨头、食物垃圾和粪便创造了亚马逊黑土。它含有微生物，包括有助于将土壤中的化学物质转化为植物和树木所需的有用营养物质的细菌)”可知，亚马逊黑土的特别之处在于亚马逊人创造它的方法使它最终含有一些细菌，有利于土壤成分的转化。故选D项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Scientists are looking for a way to turn grassland back into rainforest and revive forest ecosystems. These support thousands of animal and plant species, many of them unique to the area. Forests also absorb lots of carbon dioxide, a gas that cause climate change. (科学家们正在寻找一种将草原变回雨林并恢复森林生态系统的方法。这些系统滋养成千上万的动植物物种，其中许多是该地区独有的。森林还会吸收大量二氧化碳，这是一种导致气候变化的气体)”可知，本段主要介绍恢复森林生态系统带来的好处，包括滋养特有的生物，以及吸收二氧化碳，即森林生态系统的重要性。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Team member, Dr. Siu Mui Tsai, said that instead they want to try and “copy its characteristics”, especially its helpful microbes, and see if it could help to restore natural habitats. (团队成员Siu Mui Tsai博士说，相反，他们想尝试“复制它的特征”，尤其是它的有益微生物，看看它是否有助于恢复自然栖息地)”可知，他希望通过创造与亚马逊黑土类似的物质，尤其是其中的有益微生物，来恢复自然栖息地。由此推知，他会赞同“微生物对森林的恢复是有益的”的观点。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文中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。 Diversity comes in many forms: gender, race, age, culture, etc. All of these contribute to an individual’s unique experience of the world. Here are some reasons why it is significant in all aspects of our lives.     ● Productivity     Bringing together people of various backgrounds leads to new ideas. ____36____ When tackling an issue, wouldn’t it be better to have more than one understanding and approach, rather than everyone contributing the same thoughts and conclusions?    ● Becoming a World Citizen     If you experience diversity in your everyday life, you will be regularly exposed to people, cultures, traditions, and practices that are unlike your own. Not only will you improve your social development, but you will also increase your understanding of the world. ____37____      ● Growing Acceptance     Promoting diversity is the first step to true acceptance.

What if everyone who surrounded you was exactly like you, in every way? ____39____ We need new ideas, views, and practices to stimulate and inspire us, to show us the way others eat, celebrate, and love! ____40____ Even in the face of intolerance, and violence, we must not forget to spread the word about the importance of diversity and to respond to that violence with a love and a celebration of our differences. A. Where is the fun in that? B. Or, they may still be remarkably different. C. Everyone has their own way of viewing a problem. D. This will prepare you to be a part of a global society. E. What if everyone shares the same view on everything? F. Hearing about another’s experience can provide you a different idea. G. Together, our differences make a strong and beautiful world community. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过阐述多样性在生产力、成为世界公民、培养接纳心态以及丰富生活体验等多个方面的作用，强调了多样性在生活的各个层面都具有重要意义。 【36题详解】 上文“Bringing together people of various backgrounds leads to new ideas. (将不同背景的人聚集在一起会产生新的想法。)”说明不同背景的人能带来新想法，下文“When tackling an issue, wouldn’t it be better to have more than one understanding and approach, rather than everyone contributing the same thoughts and conclusions? (在处理一个问题时，有不止一种理解和方法，而不是每个人都提出相同的想法和结论，这样不是更好吗?)”说明在处理问题时，有不同的理解和方法更好，C项“Everyone has their own way of viewing a problem. (每个人都有自己看待问题的方式。)”与上下文一致，说明不同背景的人有不同的看法，有不同的看法能带来不同的理解和方法，承上启下，故选C。 【37题详解】 上文“Not only will you improve your social development, but you will also increase your understanding of the world.

(这将使你为成为全球社会的一员做好准备。)”与上文构成因果关系，且与“世界公民”的小标题呼应。故选D。 【38题详解】 上文“Through growing contact with, and communication between new people, individuals may see that they may have more in common than they thought. (通过与新朋友越来越多的接触和交流，个人可能会发现他们之间的共同点比他们想象的要多。)”说明与新朋友接触交流会发现共同点，下文“And that is okay, too! Increasing familiarity with these differences can facilitate acceptance. (这也没关系！增加对这些差异的熟悉程度可以促进接受)”说明差异也没关系，B项“Or, they may still be remarkably different. (或者，他们可能仍然非常不同。)”引出另一种可能性，与上文形成补充，为下文做好铺垫，故选B。 【39题详解】 上文“What if everyone who surrounded you was exactly like you, in every way? (如果你周围的每个人在各个方面都和你一模一样呢?)”提出假设，下文“We need new ideas, views, and practices to stimulate and inspire us, to show us the way others eat, celebrate, and love! (我们需要新的想法、观点和实践来激励我们，向我们展示别人吃饭、庆祝和爱的方式!)”说明我们需要不同来激励我们，A项“Where is the fun in that? (那有什么乐趣呢?)”以反问形式直接点明这种单调性的无趣，与下文又形成强烈对比，生动有力地论证了多样性对丰富生活体验的必要性。 故选A。 【40题详解】 上文“We need new ideas, views, and practices to stimulate and inspire us, to show us the way others eat, celebrate, and love!

This is one of the ____64____ (reason) that Agata decided to learn Chinese. “I thought if I learn Chinese, I could communicate with a billion more people ____65____speak it,” she says. 【答案】56. an 57. really 58. has learnt##has learned 59. on 60. development 61. to promote 62. offering 63. be drawn 64. reasons 65. who##that 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是近年来越来越多的人开始学习中文的现象以及相关原因。 【56题详解】 考查冠词。句意：近年来，越来越多的人开始学习中文。a number of为固定短语，意为“许多，大量”，且increasing以元音音素开头，所以使用不定冠词an。故填an。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：“中国有句谚语：‘雨后春笋般涌现’，这确实是它的真实写照，”一位著名教授说。空处修饰后文整个句子，应使用副词really作状语，意为“真正地”。故填really。 【58题详解】 考查时态。句意：来自美国休斯顿的玛雅·兰斯已经在学校学习中文三年多了。根据时间状语“for more than 3 years”可知，句子应使用现在完成时，主语Maya Lance为第三人称单数，助动词使用has，learn的过去分词有两种形式learnt和learned。故填has learnt/has learned。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：我们都知道，中国现在是世界第二大经济体，并且正在朝着第一的方向迈进。固定搭配on one’s way to意为“在去……的路上；朝着……的方向前进”。故填on。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：孔子学院也可能在中文的快速发展中发挥了作用。空处作介词in的宾语，应使用名词development，意为“发展”，为不可数名词。故填development。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它于2004年由中国成立，旨在在世界各地推广中文和中国文化，现在全世界有500多所孔子学院为大学生和公众提供语言课程和文化旅游。空处作目的状语，应使用动词不定式to promote，意为“为了推广”。故填to promote。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。空处作后置定语，逻辑主语more than 500 Confucius Institutes与动词offer之间存在主动关系，应使用现在分词作后置定语，表示“提供”。故填offering。 【63题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：学生们也可能被中文所吸引，因为作为中国的官方语言和新加坡的四种官方语言之一，中文是世界上最受欢迎的语言。空处作谓语，主语Students与动词draw之间存在被动关系，应使用被动语态，情态动词could后接动词原形，所以空处应填be drawn，表示“被吸引”。故填be drawn。 【64题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：这是阿加塔决定学习中文的原因之一。one of后接可数名词的复数形式，表示“……之一”，所以空处应填reasons，意为“原因”。故填reasons。 【65题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：“我想如果我学中文，我可以和十亿多说中文的人交流，”她说。此处为关系词引导的定语从句，修饰先行词people，先行词指人，关系词在从句中作主语，所以使用关系代词who或that引导该定语从句。故填who/that。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校上周开展了“中国文物模型制作大赛”的活动，请你为校英文报写一篇报道，内容包括： (1) 活动目的； (2) 比赛情况； (3) 活动反响。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A Chinese Cultural Relics Model-Making Competition ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A Chinese Cultural Relics Model-Making Competition Last week, our school held a Chinese Cultural Relics Model-Making Competition to raise students’ awareness of protecting cultural heritage.

My heart sank during the holiday season every time I looked at the long line of kids waiting to meet Santa. This was not an activity our family could enjoy. The noise and crowds caused sensory (感官的) overload for my five-year-old son Noah, an autistic (患自闭症的) child. I also had a younger son, Henry, who needed an extra hand. Waiting in line was hardly possible. I always hoped for the best but planned for the worst when I took the boys out of the house, but I knew that attempting to get a picture with Santa wasn’t worth the risk. If we had attempted to stand in line for even a few minutes, I would have been chasing Noah, and Henry would have experienced an emotional breakdown. It was easier to stay at home. On the afternoon of Christmas Eve a year ago, the phone rang. The voice on the other end of the line said, “If you’re at home this evening, I’d like to arrange for Santa to stop by.” It was Denny, the friendly owner of a company, who had helped us with our do-it-yourself project. In a short time he was at our home, Denny’s kindness and ability to relate to our kids were evident. I felt nervous and excited about having Santa come to our home. Denny told me it would be well arranged. Would our kids even notice? Would they be frightened by a stranger in a red suit? Would they cry? A few minutes before I was planning to cook dinner on Christmas Eve, Santa tapped gently on the living-room window. Noah was speechless, and his jaw dropped. Henry, two years old, waved and said, “Hi, Santa! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Excited and nervous, I opened the door and Santa stepped inside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Santa left after staying for only a few minutes, and I shed tears. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Excited and nervous, I opened the door and Santa stepped inside. His bright red suit radiated warmth against the winter gloom, yet I held my breath, while beckoning my sons closer. Shielded subtly behind me, Noah peeked out, fingers clutching my sleeve. Santa, sensing my concerns, knelt slowly, offered a handshake, and asked gently, “would you like to tell me your Christmas wish?” Noah, usually overwhelmed by strangers, hesitated but then murmured something, his eyes wide with curiosity. Meanwhile, Henry giggled as Santa produced velvet-wrapped gifts from his sack. Santa lifted both boys, their laughter ringing with jingling bells. I hastened to capture the precious moment. Santa left after staying for a while, and tears streamed down my face. A mix of thrill and gratitude took hold of me. Without Denny’s Santa, my boys would have stayed at home alone, not to mention having their picture taken with Santa. A surge of warmth welled up inwardly as I saw Noah and Henry playing happily with their gifts, tears blurring my vision. That night, as I tucked the boys into bed, Noah suddenly hugged me and murmured, “Santa came... just for us.” His words, simple but profound, echoed the unspoken joy in my heart. For the first time, the holiday felt not like a battle, but a blessing, one wrapped in compassion and delivered by a stranger in red. 【解析】 【导语】本文以家庭故事为线索，讲述了作者因一个儿子诺亚患有自闭症、另一儿子亨利年幼，难以带他们外出与圣诞老人合影，在圣诞前夕接到丹尼安排圣诞老人家访的电话，随后圣诞老人到来引发一系列故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我既兴奋又紧张地打开门，圣诞老人走了进来”可知，第一段可描写圣诞老人进屋后，通过亲切的举动缓解孩子们的紧张情绪，与孩子们互动，作者也抓住机会拍照留念的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“圣诞老人只待了几分钟就离开了，我流下了眼泪”可知，第二段可描写作者因感动和感激而落泪，回忆如果没有这次安排孩子们的遗憾，再描述看到孩子们开心玩耍时内心的温暖，以及这次经历对家庭的特殊意义。 2. 续写线索：圣诞老人进屋——与孩子互动——作者拍照——圣诞老人离开——作者感动落泪——回忆感慨——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①跪下：knelt/went down on one’s knees ②抓住：clutching/grasping ③拿出：produced/took out 情绪类： ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②温暖：warmth/coziness 【点睛】【高分句型1】His bright red suit radiated warmth against the winter gloom, yet I held my breath, while beckoning my sons closer.（运用了状语从句中的省略） 【高分句型2】A surge of warmth welled up inwardly as I saw Noah and Henry playing happily with their gifts, tears blurring my vision.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及独立主格结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello. international friends club, can I help you?
