But I am impressed by autumn as it unfolds. I’m impressed by how all the reds, yellows and golds that paint the leaves that still stick to the branches in the winds can become their own breathtaking landscape. My wife and I spent a couple of days this week in Bend, Oregon. There were maple trees along a river that looked almost like geysers (间歇泉), springing up with red and gold leaves. Brown leaves lay on the ground and cracked under our feet with each step. We walked through parks that seemed to have become covered with beautiful Persian carpets of leaves, which wind with swirls (旋涡) of brown and sun-bright yellow. Dogs played through those leaves, and shook them off their noses. Children dived into the knee-high piles, dancing and laughing. The wind would blow the leaves up there, and seemed to turn them into waves of red, orange, and yellow that rolled across the green of the park. At one point, a couple of leaves blew me in the face. As a city kid, my first response was to say, “What just hit me? Call a lawyer” But of course, it was truly an act of nature. There is wonder and also sadness in autumn’s yearly scene. The curtain of summer heat lifts, singing for leaves with shades of orange, gold, and yellow. But the leaves that burn bright will soon fall away. The birds that rested and sang along the branches for spring and summer start to pack to fly off for warmer climates. It is part of the special show of autumn that reminds us how colder days are coming, and the darkness of longer nights. We have ways to be warm and happy in the winter ahead, too. But autumn’s rushing days of clear mornings and bright colors can be moments that remind us to open our eyes to the world, and to cherish and care for it while we can. 4. What aspects of autumn particularly amazes the author? A. The quietness of the countryside. B. The colorful leaves beautifying the city. C. The scene of children playing in the park. D. The river flowing gently with fallen leaves 5. What does the underlined part “Call a lawyer” in paragraph 3 imply? A. The author’s sensitive and soft feelings. B. The author’s careful and serious attitude. C. The author’s responsible and strict character. D. The author’s humorous and light-hearted mood. 6. What can be inferred about the author’s view on nature’s cycles from paragraph 5? A. He takes them as unchanging laws of nature. B. He regards them as reminders of life’s brief beauty. C. He considers them predictable and uninteresting. D. He acknowledges little impact of them on human life. 7. What does the author try to convey? A. Valuing today. B. Respecting nature C. Enjoying yourself. D. Recording autumn. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一个城市孩子，对秋天的景色印象深刻，特别是秋天树叶的色彩和自然景象的美丽，同时作者也表达了秋天带来的思考和感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m impressed by how all the reds, yellows and golds that paint the leaves that still stick to the branches in the winds can become their own breathtaking landscape.(让我印象深刻的是，所有这些红色、黄色和金色，把仍然挂在风中树枝上的叶子描绘成它们自己令人惊叹的风景)”可知，作者对秋天五彩缤纷的树叶美化了城市感到惊讶。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At one point, a couple of leaves blew me in the face. As a city kid, my first response was to say, “What just hit me? Call a lawyer” But of course, it was truly an act of nature.(有那么一瞬间，几片落叶迎面扑在了我脸上。我打小在城里长大，第一反应脱口就是：“什么玩意儿砸我？找律师告它去！”可不用说也知道，这不过是大自然的无心之举罢了)”可知，作者在描述自己被树叶打到脸时的幽默反应，表现出一种轻松幽默的心情。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But autumn’s rushing days of clear mornings and bright colors can be moments that remind us to open our eyes to the world, and to cherish and care for it while we can.(但是秋天匆匆忙忙的清晨和明亮的色彩的时刻，可以提醒我们睁开眼睛看世界，并在我们能够的时候珍惜和照顾它)”可推测出，作者认为秋天的自然循环提醒人们生命短暂，要珍惜和欣赏生活中的美好。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But autumn’s rushing days of clear mornings and bright colors can be moments that remind us to open our eyes to the world, and to cherish and care for it while we can.(但是秋天匆匆忙忙的清晨和明亮的色彩的时刻，可以提醒我们睁开眼睛看世界，并在我们能够的时候珍惜和照顾它)”可知，作者试图传达的是要珍惜当下。故选A。 C Over the years, villagers living near Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park have often faced challenges as elephants have traveled further in search of food and water. Farmers near the park get spooked — their crops (庄稼) keep getting destroyed by the elephants, and some have even been hurt or killed. To address these longstanding problems, last year, 16 elephants in Hwange were carefully fitted with special GPS collars (项圈) — “Earth Ranger”. These tools provide hourly information on their movements, enabling scientists to watch over the elephants. “Sixteen is really a good number because if you fit one collar on a herd (群) of ten, which is the standard size for a school of elephants, we are basically tracking the movement of probably 160 elephants plus,” said Henry Ndaimani, program manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). The special tracking tool uses GPS technology to put a virtual geo-fence around the park, like a fence around a garden. With real-time GPS information, the research team can discover when elephants enter human villages and provide those communities with timely warnings to make necessary preparations. Officials say the special collars have also greatly strengthened the overall protection efforts, with Zimbabwe making progress in its anti-poaching (反偷猎) efforts. “It even helps us to discover things like poaching. If the elephant is no longer moving, it means our collars can easily find that it has stopped for quite a long period and it becomes a warning,” said Tinase Farawo, spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. Simbarashe Chiseva, the IFAW’s community development officer, said they have welcomed many young people to help in this important protection work. “We’ve provided the basic tools and the basic knowledge for them to understand the behavior of wildlife species like elephants and lions,” said Chiseva. 8. What does the underlined part “get spooked” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Appear. B. Compete C. Remain lost D. Become frightened 9. What is special about the 16 elephants? A. They are already located. B. They were raised by farmers. C. They were the first to test GPS collars. D. They have the largest herd size in Hwange. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about “Earth Ranger”? A. Why it matters. B. How it works. C. Its social influence. D. Its wide popularity. 11. What can we expect of “Earth Ranger”? A. It could put Zimbabwe on the map. B. It may encourage public acceptance of IFAW. C. It might be introduced to other African countries. D. It could turn young people into wildlife protectors. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了津巴布韦为保护大象及村民安全，给16头大象戴上GPS项圈，以追踪其活动并预警 。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“ their crops (庄稼) keep getting destroyed by the elephants, and some have even been hurt or killed.(他们的庄稼屡屡遭到大象破坏，部分村民甚至因此受伤或丧命。)”可知，农民因为大象破坏庄稼、伤害人，所以感到害怕。get spooked意思是“惶恐不安，变得害怕”，选项D“Become frightened“变得害怕”符合题意。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To address these longstanding problems, last year, 16 elephants in Hwange were carefully fitted with special GPS collars (项圈) — “Earth Ranger”. These tools provide hourly information on their movements, enabling scientists to watch over the elephants.(为解决这一长期存在的难题，去年，园方为万基国家公园的16头大象精心佩戴了特制的全球定位系统（GPS）追踪项圈——名为“地球守护者”。这些设备每小时都会回传一次大象的活动数据，助力科研人员实时监测象群动向。)”可知，这16头大象的特别之处在于它们被装上了GPS项圈，位置可以被定位。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The special tracking tool uses GPS technology to put a virtual geo-fence around the park, like a fence around a garden. With real-time GPS information, the research team can discover when elephants enter human villages and provide those communities with timely warnings to make necessary preparations.(这款专用追踪设备借助GPS技术，在公园外围构建出一道虚拟地理围栏，就像在花园四周筑起一道实体栅栏。依托实时GPS定位信息，研究团队能够及时发现象群闯入人类村落的动向，并向相关社区发出预警，以便村民做好必要的防范准备。)”可知，本段主要介绍了“地球守护者”是如何工作的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Simbarashe Chiseva, the IFAW’s community development officer, said they have welcomed many young people to help in this important protection work. “We’ve provided the basic tools and the basic knowledge for them to understand the behavior of wildlife species like elephants and lions,” said Chiseva.(国际爱护动物基金会的社区发展官员Simbarashe Chiseva表示，他们欢迎许多年轻人参与这项重要的保护工作。Chiseva说：“我们为他们提供了基本的工具和基本知识，让他们了解大象和狮子等野生动物的行为。”)”可知，“地球守护者”项目可能会吸引更多年轻人参与野生动物保护，将他们转变为野生动物保护者。故选D。 D In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that the knowledgeable could have. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is critical ignoring. With such a flood of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not. The first strategy is self-pushing. This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also includes the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Successful dieters know that they need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, you need to set up your digital environment in such a way that attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. Of course, we need to follow world events, so we can’t just ignore the Internet altogether. When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another. The next strategy is lateral (横向的) reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, it’s also good to check the source of the information in an online post. Headlines often cheat people. They’re designed to attract attention, not to provide information. The main idea of the article may be completely opposite to the implication in the headline. A sensational (耸人听闻的) claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t. We live in a digital age in which we’re surrounded by information, much of it of poor quality. Train our critical ignoring skills and then we can get the benefits of the Internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention. 12. Which of the following can best explain critical ignoring? A. Rob Peter to pay Paul. B. Look before you leap. C. Make something out of nothing. D. Separate the sheep from the goats. 13. What is suggested in the first strategy? A. Managing our own time well. B. Avoiding access to social media. C. Keeping track of latest events. D. Improving the study environment. 14. How can we get the reliable information of an article? A. By selecting texts with photos. B. By searching for original sources. C. By reading posts with high hits. D. By asking authorities for advice. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Skills used in digital times. B. Significance of critical ignoring. C. Approaches to achieving critical ignoring. D. Links between critical thinking and ignoring. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在数字时代，批判性忽视的重要性及实现批判性忽视的方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“With such a flood of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not.(面对如此多的信息，我们首先需要决定哪些值得我们关注和时间，哪些不值得)”可知，批判性忽视是指面对海量信息时，我们需要分辨哪些信息是值得关注的，哪些是不值得关注的，即分清好坏。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.(当你进入社交媒体时，Kozyreva建议设置时间限制，这可以防止你在点击一个又一个吸引人的链接时忘记时间)”可知，第一个策略建议管理好自己的时间。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, it’s also good to check the source of the information in an online post.(这个策略包括打开一个新网页来了解更多关于信息来源的信息。同样，检查在线帖子中信息的来源也是很好的)”可知，我们可以通过搜索原始来源来获得一篇文章的可靠信息。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.(但德国心理学家Anastasia Kozyreva认为，在数字时代，一项更重要的技能是批判性忽视)”，第二段和第三段分别介绍了实现批判性忽视的两个策略，最后一段“Train our critical ignoring skills and then we can get the benefits of the Internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.(训练我们的批判性忽视技能，这样我们就可以在享受互联网带来的好处的同时，避免成为那些试图控制我们注意力的人的受害者)”可知，这篇文章主要讲了实现批判性忽视的方法。故选C。 第二节（共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 An article revealed an alarming trend: Students entering universities often complete high school without ever reading an entire novel, let alone reading aloud. As text becomes a means of skill acquisition (获得), reading shorter text will improve academic performance, which will result in more desirable educational outcomes, including college admission. ____16____. It’s easy then to assume that the reason students aren’t reading books is that they aren’t being asked to. ____17____. Schools have slowly changed the relationship between students and books. Reading (or being read to) is no longer seen as an act that has inner value, a joy worth pursuing for its own sake. As a teacher who is exploring to change the situation, I keep reading aloud to older students, hoping to help them appreciate the beauty and value of books. ____18____. They will read short stories, poems, long nonfiction articles, and even entire novels. I hope that when reading inevitably (不可避免地) becomes unpleasing and difficult, they will remember the times, not so long ago, when their teacher read them a story. ____19____ while recalling moments when they ventured into the mysterious land of Narnia, cheered for Frodo in the depths of Mount Doom, or gasped (倒吸气) at the sight of Boo Radley behind a door. “A good story, well told.” That is how my father described the books I treasured as a child. I’ve fallen in love with many books since then, but the stories I loved most are the ones he read to me. ____20____. At least, that’s the story I’m telling myself. A. I hope they will continue their reading B. Actually, something deeper is happening C. My students will also read text on their own D. They never know what it means to read aloud a long passage E. I’m sure reading aloud to students helps them love books as I do F. For this sake, many students are required only to read short passages G. Therefore, high school students are rather familiar with short passages 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出大学生未读完过小说的堪忧趋势，因学校重短文轻整书，作者坚持给学生朗读，希望帮他们重拾读书的热爱与价值。 【16题详解】 根据上文“An article revealed an alarming trend: Students entering universities often complete high school without ever reading an entire novel, let alone reading aloud. As text becomes a means of skill acquisition (获得), reading shorter text will improve academic performance, which will result in more desirable educational outcomes, including college admission.(一篇文章揭示了一个令人担忧的趋势：许多进入大学的学生在高中阶段从未完整读过一本书，更不用说大声朗读了。随着文字成为一种技能获取的手段，阅读较短的文本能够提高学习成绩，从而带来更理想的学习成果，包括能够被大学录取)”可知，前文讲读短文能提成绩、助升学等好处，F选项“为此，许多学生只被要求读短文”承接前文因果，this sake 对应前文利好，衔接自然。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It’s easy then to assume that the reason students aren’t reading books is that they aren’t being asked to.(因此，人们很容易得出这样的结论：学生不读书的原因在于他们没有被要求去读书)”以及后文“Schools have slowly changed the relationship between students and books. Reading (or being read to) is no longer seen as an act that has inner value, a joy worth pursuing for its own sake. As a teacher who is exploring to change the situation, I keep reading aloud to older students, hoping to help them appreciate the beauty and value of books.(学校逐渐改变了学生与书籍之间的关系。阅读（或被他人朗读）不再被视为一种具有内在价值、值得出于自身兴趣去追求的行为。作为一名致力于改变这一现状的教师，我持续为高年级学生朗读，希望能帮助他们领略书籍的美妙与价值)”可知，前文猜学生不读书是没被要求，后文讲学校改变了学生与书籍的关系（深层原因），前后文为转折关系，故B选项“事实上，正在发生一些更深层的情况”表转折，承上启下。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据后文“They will read short stories, poems, long nonfiction articles, and even entire novels. I hope that when reading inevitably (不可避免地) becomes unpleasing and difficult, they will remember the times, not so long ago, when their teacher read them a story.(他们会阅读短篇小说、诗歌、长篇非虚构文章，甚至整部小说。我希望当阅读变得不再令人愉快且变得困难时，他们能想起不久前老师给他们读故事的那些时光)”可知，后文讲学生读短篇、诗歌等各类文本，C选项“我的学生也会自主阅读文本”是总起句，后文是具体展开，衔接紧密。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“They will read short stories, poems, long nonfiction articles, and even entire novels. I hope that when reading inevitably (不可避免地) becomes unpleasing and difficult, they will remember the times, not so long ago, when their teacher read them a story.(他们会阅读短篇小说、诗歌、长篇非虚构文章，甚至整部小说。我希望当阅读变得不再令人愉快且变得困难时，他们能想起不久前老师给他们读故事的那些时光)”可知，前文盼学生遇阅读困难时记起老师读故事的时光，本句承接上文，故A选项“我希望他们能坚持阅读”承接这份期许，符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文““A good story, well told.” That is how my father described the books I treasured as a child. I’ve fallen in love with many books since then, but the stories I loved most are the ones he read to me.(“精彩的故事，讲述得恰到好处。”这就是我父亲对我儿时珍视的那些书籍的评价。从那以后，我爱上了许多书籍，但其中我最爱的那些故事，却是他读给我听的那些)”可知，前文讲父亲给作者朗读让其爱上书，E选项“我确信给学生朗读能让他们像我一样爱上书”呼应前文经历，贴合收尾。故选E。 第三部分：语言运用（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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 8, my family moved into our brand-new home.

At primary school, my classmates spent their lunch break playing football, while I was in the library getting kicks from books and computers. In Games lessons, like all fat kids, I was put “in defence” — which involved chatting to my mates and occasionally pretending to be bothered about where the ball was. I became expert in copying the body language of the boys who cared: cheering when a goal was scored, and estimating their joy at a free kick, despite the fact that I didn’t understand the rules. As I got older, I stopped trying to fake it and wore my dislike for football as a symbol of honour. “It’s only a game!” I’d tell Dad, as he persuaded me to watch football matches. I’d separate the Sports section from The Times and throw it straight into the bin, as if it had polluted the rest of the paper. When a big game was on, I’d go shopping, and post performative photos of me doing so on social media, smugly (沾沾自喜地) demonstrating how much more free time I had than the mindless majority around me, who were endlessly absorbed in their silly competition that pointlessly resets itself every 12 months. But, occasionally in the backseat of a taxi, or when meeting a friend’s father, I’d find myself faced with a well-intentioned opener like, “Stephen, terrible season we’re having, eh?”, or simply, “Who do you support?”, and feel my heart sink, knowing my reply would unavoidably disappoint. Sometimes, such fellows would give me a friendly follow-up, “Oh, right, are you a rugby (橄榄球) man, then? Cricket?” — an equally unhelpful line of enquiry, given my total indifference to any sport aside from the Olympics (and there’s only two weeks every four years when anyone wants to chat about the Olympics). This attitude of mine, I could see, had closed hours of conversation, evenings out, even entire friendships with people (well, men, mainly) that I might otherwise have enjoyed. I couldn’t change the fact that I found football boring, but was coming to regret my outsider status as much as I celebrated it. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 续写部分分为2段，每段开头已为你写好。 After I became a dad, I didn’t want my two boys to lack the desirable social skill. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Things began to change in many aspects in my life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 After I became a dad, I didn’t want my two boys to lack this desirable social skill. I brought them outside with a football and got them a mini football table at home. Also, I bought them tickets to watch our local team. We sat close to the action, surrounded by families who clearly had a real connection to the players on the pitch. Because my kids kept asking me what was going on, I kept a close watch on the game. Almost without noticing it, I fell in love with football. Things began to change in many aspects of my life. I found myself paying attention to every match result of the local team. I came to know the rules of football and bonded with my two boys. I was not embarrassed any more when I was in a taxi, because we could continue talking for hours if the driver liked. I had a better friendship with friends, enjoying hours of conversation and evenings out. Sometimes stepping out of one’s comfort zone can lead to rewarding experiences. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索，讲述了作者认为自己一生对足球毫无兴趣，小时候在学校假装关注足球，长大后公开表达对足球的厌恶，但这种态度使作者错失了许多与他人交流、社交甚至建立友谊的机会，作者虽无法改变对足球的看法，但开始后悔自己这种局外人的身份。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“自从当了父亲，我便不愿让我的两个儿子缺失这项宝贵的社交技能。”可知，第一段可描写作者为了培养孩子们对足球的兴趣所做的事情以及自己在这个过程中渐渐爱上足球。 ②由第二段首句内容“我的生活方方面面也开始随之发生改变。”可知，第二段可描写爱上足球给作者的生活带来的具体影响以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：培养孩子对足球的兴趣——渐渐爱上足球——生活发生的具体变化——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①问：ask/inquire ②注意：notice/spot ③导致、引起：lead to/result in ④继续做某事：continue doing sth/proceed doing sth 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②值得的：rewarding/worthwhile 【点睛】[高分句型1] We sat close to the action, surrounded by families who clearly had a real connection to the players on the pitch.（运用了过去分词短语作状语，who引导限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Because my kids kept asking me what was going on, I kept a close watch on the game.（运用了because引导原因状语从句，what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第一学期第二次月考 高二英语试卷 本试卷满分150分，时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标到试卷的相应位置。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.

B I’m a city kid, who can often be unmoved by nature. But I am impressed by autumn as it unfolds. I’m impressed by how all the reds, yellows and golds that paint the leaves that still stick to the branches in the winds can become their own breathtaking landscape. My wife and I spent a couple of days this week in Bend, Oregon. There were maple trees along a river that looked almost like geysers (间歇泉), springing up with red and gold leaves. Brown leaves lay on the ground and cracked under our feet with each step. We walked through parks that seemed to have become covered with beautiful Persian carpets of leaves, which wind with swirls (旋涡) of brown and sun-bright yellow. Dogs played through those leaves, and shook them off their noses. Children dived into the knee-high piles, dancing and laughing. The wind would blow the leaves up there, and seemed to turn them into waves of red, orange, and yellow that rolled across the green of the park. At one point, a couple of leaves blew me in the face. As a city kid, my first response was to say, “What just hit me? Call a lawyer” But of course, it was truly an act of nature. There is wonder and also sadness in autumn’s yearly scene. The curtain of summer heat lifts, singing for leaves with shades of orange, gold, and yellow. But the leaves that burn bright will soon fall away. The birds that rested and sang along the branches for spring and summer start to pack to fly off for warmer climates. It is part of the special show of autumn that reminds us how colder days are coming, and the darkness of longer nights. We have ways to be warm and happy in the winter ahead, too. But autumn’s rushing days of clear mornings and bright colors can be moments that remind us to open our eyes to the world, and to cherish and care for it while we can. 4. What aspects of autumn particularly amazes the author? A. The quietness of the countryside. B. The colorful leaves beautifying the city. C. The scene of children playing in the park. D. The river flowing gently with fallen leaves 5. What does the underlined part “Call a lawyer” in paragraph 3 imply? A. The author’s sensitive and soft feelings. B. The author’s careful and serious attitude. C. The author’s responsible and strict character. D. The author’s humorous and light-hearted mood. 6. What can be inferred about the author’s view on nature’s cycles from paragraph 5? A. He takes them as unchanging laws of nature. B. He regards them as reminders of life’s brief beauty. C. He considers them predictable and uninteresting. D. He acknowledges little impact of them on human life. 7. What does the author try to convey? A. Valuing today. B. Respecting nature C. Enjoying yourself. D. Recording autumn. C Over the years, villagers living near Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park have often faced challenges as elephants have traveled further in search of food and water. Farmers near the park get spooked — their crops (庄稼) keep getting destroyed by the elephants, and some have even been hurt or killed. To address these longstanding problems, last year, 16 elephants in Hwange were carefully fitted with special GPS collars (项圈) — “Earth Ranger”. These tools provide hourly information on their movements, enabling scientists to watch over the elephants. “Sixteen is really a good number because if you fit one collar on a herd (群) of ten, which is the standard size for a school of elephants, we are basically tracking the movement of probably 160 elephants plus,” said Henry Ndaimani, program manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). The special tracking tool uses GPS technology to put a virtual geo-fence around the park, like a fence around a garden. With real-time GPS information, the research team can discover when elephants enter human villages and provide those communities with timely warnings to make necessary preparations. Officials say the special collars have also greatly strengthened the overall protection efforts, with Zimbabwe making progress in its anti-poaching (反偷猎) efforts. “It even helps us to discover things like poaching. If the elephant is no longer moving, it means our collars can easily find that it has stopped for quite a long period and it becomes a warning,” said Tinase Farawo, spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. Simbarashe Chiseva, the IFAW’s community development officer, said they have welcomed many young people to help in this important protection work. “We’ve provided the basic tools and the basic knowledge for them to understand the behavior of wildlife species like elephants and lions,” said Chiseva. 8. What does the underlined part “get spooked” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Appear. B. Compete C. Remain lost D. Become frightened 9. What is special about the 16 elephants? A. They are already located. B. They were raised by farmers. C. They were the first to test GPS collars. D. They have the largest herd size in Hwange. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about “Earth Ranger”? A. Why it matters. B. How it works. C. Its social influence. D. Its wide popularity. 11. What can we expect of “Earth Ranger”? A. It could put Zimbabwe on the map. B. It may encourage public acceptance of IFAW. C. It might be introduced to other African countries. D. It could turn young people into wildlife protectors. D In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that the knowledgeable could have. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is critical ignoring. With such a flood of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not. The first strategy is self-pushing. This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also includes the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Successful dieters know that they need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, you need to set up your digital environment in such a way that attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. Of course, we need to follow world events, so we can’t just ignore the Internet altogether. When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another. The next strategy is lateral (横向的) reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, it’s also good to check the source of the information in an online post. Headlines often cheat people. They’re designed to attract attention, not to provide information. The main idea of the article may be completely opposite to the implication in the headline. A sensational (耸人听闻的) claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t. We live in a digital age in which we’re surrounded by information, much of it of poor quality. Train our critical ignoring skills and then we can get the benefits of the Internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention. 12. Which of the following can best explain critical ignoring? A. Rob Peter to pay Paul. B. Look before you leap. C. Make something out of nothing. D. Separate the sheep from the goats. 13. What is suggested in the first strategy? A. Managing our own time well. B. Avoiding access to social media. C. Keeping track of latest events. D. Improving the study environment. 14. How can we get the reliable information of an article? A. By selecting texts with photos. B. By searching for original sources. C. By reading posts with high hits. D. By asking authorities for advice. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Skills used in digital times. B. Significance of critical ignoring. C. Approaches to achieving critical ignoring. D. Links between critical thinking and ignoring. 第二节（共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 An article revealed an alarming trend: Students entering universities often complete high school without ever reading an entire novel, let alone reading aloud. As text becomes a means of skill acquisition (获得), reading shorter text will improve academic performance, which will result in more desirable educational outcomes, including college admission. ____16____. It’s easy then to assume that the reason students aren’t reading books is that they aren’t being asked to. ____17____. Schools have slowly changed the relationship between students and books. Reading (or being read to) is no longer seen as an act that has inner value, a joy worth pursuing for its own sake. As a teacher who is exploring to change the situation, I keep reading aloud to older students, hoping to help them appreciate the beauty and value of books. ____18____. They will read short stories, poems, long nonfiction articles, and even entire novels.

I’ve fallen in love with many books since then, but the stories I loved most are the ones he read to me. ____20____. At least, that’s the story I’m telling myself. A. I hope they will continue their reading B. Actually, something deeper is happening C. My students will also read text on their own D. They never know what it means to read aloud a long passage E.

At primary school, my classmates spent their lunch break playing football, while I was in the library getting kicks from books and computers. In Games lessons, like all fat kids, I was put “in defence” — which involved chatting to my mates and occasionally pretending to be bothered about where the ball was. I became expert in copying the body language of the boys who cared: cheering when a goal was scored, and estimating their joy at a free kick, despite the fact that I didn’t understand the rules. As I got older, I stopped trying to fake it and wore my dislike for football as a symbol of honour. “It’s only a game!” I’d tell Dad, as he persuaded me to watch football matches. I’d separate the Sports section from The Times and throw it straight into the bin, as if it had polluted the rest of the paper. When a big game was on, I’d go shopping, and post performative photos of me doing so on social media, smugly (沾沾自喜地) demonstrating how much more free time I had than the mindless majority around me, who were endlessly absorbed in their silly competition that pointlessly resets itself every 12 months. But, occasionally in the backseat of a taxi, or when meeting a friend’s father, I’d find myself faced with a well-intentioned opener like, “Stephen, terrible season we’re having, eh?”, or simply, “Who do you support?”, and feel my heart sink, knowing my reply would unavoidably disappoint. Sometimes, such fellows would give me a friendly follow-up, “Oh, right, are you a rugby (橄榄球) man, then? Cricket?” — an equally unhelpful line of enquiry, given my total indifference to any sport aside from the Olympics (and there’s only two weeks every four years when anyone wants to chat about the Olympics). This attitude of mine, I could see, had closed hours of conversation, evenings out, even entire friendships with people (well, men, mainly) that I might otherwise have enjoyed. I couldn’t change the fact that I found football boring, but was coming to regret my outsider status as much as I celebrated it. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 续写部分分为2段，每段开头已为你写好。 After I became a dad, I didn’t want my two boys to lack the desirable social skill. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Things began to change in many aspects in my life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
