Bah Humbug 10K,1 December Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you,because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end.Therefore,the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners.racebest.com Winter Solstice Strider,8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause.You have a 5K route,which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate.The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places,so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies.sueryder.org The Christmas Charity Run,21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country,and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel.Another great feature is that f7.50 of the f10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer,making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find.eventrac.co.uk Mapledurham 10&Half,29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and,with unpleasant weather likely,you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K,10-mile or half-marathon courses you 试卷第6页，共22页 choose.The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements,so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.mstevents.co.uk 21.Which website offers information for night run participants? A.sueryder.org B.racebest.com C.eventrac.co.uk D.nstevents.co.uk 22.What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A.Eco-friendly goals. B.Flexible race distances. C.Strong charity focus. D.Muddy running courses. 23.Which column of a magazine is the text probably from? A.Tech Trends. B.Athlete Profiles. C.News Insight. D.Race Guide. 【答案】21.A 22.B23.D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国冬季即将举办的四场跑步赛事，包括赛事日期、特色、 注意事项及官方网站，为跑步爱好者提供赛事参考。 2l.细节理解题。根据Winter Solstice Strider,8 December'部分中的Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause..(从乱糟糟的抽屉里找出头灯，参加这场夜间跑步或步行 公益活动。)'可知，这场赛事是夜间举办的，其官方网站为sueryder.og。故选A。 22.细节理解题。根据Mapledurham 10&Half,29 December''部分中的The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements,so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.(组织者优先考虑找到一条好的路线，而不是精确测量，所以这三场比赛与它们所声明的距离之间的 关系相当松散。)'可知，Mapledurham赛事的独特之处在于其灵活的比赛距离。故选B。 23.推理判断题。根据第一段The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest,quickest,toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit..(即将到来的冬季为 那些寻求冒险或团队精神的人提供了英国各地最精彩、最快、最艰难、最令人愉快的跑步赛事。)”以及下文 对四个跑步赛事的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了英国即将到来的冬季跑步赛事，包括赛事名称、日期、特点 以及相关信息查询网址，因此这篇文章可能来自杂志的“赛事指南专栏。故选D。 B In 2015,our readers first met Shailee Basnet,the 34-year-old former Nepali journalist.shortly after she and six 试卷第7页，共22页 of her countrywomen successfully reached the summit of the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents,On the night of Sept,8,two years later,Basnet was preparing to entertain a packed house at New York's Broadway Comedy Club What Basnet learned from climbing mountains,besides the fact that she is stronger and braver than she knew, is that failure is temporary and anything is achievable if you focus on one step at a time. This works for her in comedy."You don't need to find the courage to do everything at once.You only need to find the courage to write your first joke,tell a friend,and then find a platform where people will hear you,"Basnet says. Long before Basnet began dreaming of climbing mountains,she imagined something even more audacious, considering her hometown,Nepal's capital city,had virtually no comedy scene.A fan of American comedians, Basnet dreamed of becoming a stand-up comic. Along the way,she held on to her comedy dreams.Basnet took her first steps onstage at a show in Kathmandu in 2011 and then began organizing open-mic nights around the city to have a place to showcase her new material. On trips with her husband to visit his family in Boulder,Colorado,Basnet attended stand-up shows and began dreaming of taking the stage in English. "At first,I worried that my jokes wouldn't translate because people kept saying comedy is very local,very cultural,"Basnet says."Then I noticed that I could understand 100 percent of what Ellen DeGeneres,Jerry Seinfeld, Russell Peters,all the big comics,were saying.If I can understand them,then I can work to get to the point where they understand me.Beneath the surface,we are all the same.Human emotions and issues--it all becomes very translatable if you go deeper." How she arrived at this moment,however,still feels a bit like magic.Determined to one day turn her 10-minute set into a two-hour show,Basnet puts as much thought into each performance as she once did into her climbs. 24.What lesson from climbing mountains benefits Basnet's stage career? A.Confidence and teamwork. B.Intensive physical training. C.Adaptation to environments. D.Determination and steady progress. 25.What does the underlined word "audacious"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Daring B.Eventful. C.Relaxing D.Unfamiliar. 26.What does paragraph 5 mainly focus on concerning Basnet? 试卷第8页，共22页 A.Her hard efforts to realize goals. B.Her awareness of true passion. C.Her difficult road to success. D.Her popularity on the stage. 27.How did Basnet approach the challenge of performing comedy in English? A.She told her jokes to her husband's family first B.She studied American culture closely. C.She focused on universally understandable humor. D.She copied American big comics'skills. 【答案】24.D 25.A26.A27.C C Human language seems so much more complicated and organized than anything experienced by animals. Nevertheless,animals do indeed communicate complex ideas using precise,intentional language. Vervet monkeys(黑长尾猴)，like many other species of primates(灵长目动物)，give alarm calls when predators((捕食性动物)approach.These calls act as warnings to others in their group that a predator is about..The interesting part is that there are different calls for different predators.To demonstrate that these vervet calls mean what they thought they meant,primate researchers Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney performed experiments. They placed loudspeakers in the forest and waited for vervets to approach and then played the various warning calls that they had recorded.Sure enough,playing the eagle call made the vervets lookup,playing the leopard call made them climb the nearest tree and head for a thin branch. Another interesting thing about vervets is that they can tell their own children by their cries.In the jungle, when a baby yervet cries,its mother looks in the direction of the scream.Meanwhile all of the other vervets also stop and look,but not toward the baby,toward the mother,Even other mothers that don't have their babies nearby are not mistaken about which baby is crying. Also,it turns out that vervets have vocabulary for more than just predators and dangers.They also have vocabulary for social relationships such as "higher-ranking member,""lower-ranking member,"and "competing group of vervets.” 试卷第9页，共22页 To date,we have not interpreted any other primate vocabularies as thoroughly as we have the vervets,It's,only because no one has yet done with any other species what Seyfarth and Cheney have done with vervets.However, you can be sure that,inspired by this success.primatologists are now doing exactly that with many other species.It won't be long before we have a more complete vocabulary for many more of our primate cousins. 28.How did the researchers distinguish the vervets'alarm calls? A.By marking their locations B.By mixing up their predators. C.By observing their escape strategies. D.By comparing them with other species of primates. 29.What might happen if a baby vervet screams in the wild? A.Its mother would run to take care of it. B.Many female vervets would look at it. C.Vervet mothers would look around for their babies. D.Warning calls would be spread among vervet mothers. 30.What is expected of primate studies? A.More humans'cousins will be identified. B.More cross-species competition will be shown. C.More will be known about their social structures D.More species'means of communication will be revealed. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Humans and primates can communicate. B.Other primates use speech and vocabulary. C.Female primates identify each other's babies. D.Primates use sounds to signal and react to danger. 【答案】28.C29.D30.D31.B D If you've ever let unworn clothes fill your room just:because they were expensive,or followed through on 试卷第10页，共22页江苏省海门中学2025-2026学年度第一学期期中考试试卷 高二英语 命题人 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 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，并标在试 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.What does the woman ask Larry to do?

D If you've ever let unworn clothes fill your room just:because they were expensive,or followed through on plans you hated because you'd already bought tickets,you're familiar with the sunk cost effect. "The sunk cost effect is the general tendency for people to continue an action,or continue consuming or pursuing an option,if they've invested time or money or some resource in it,"says Christopher Olivola,the author of a paper on the topic published in the journal Psychological Science."That effect is negative if it's pushing you to do things that are making you unhappy or worse of." Sticking with the plan,even when it no longer serves you,could be an attempt to correct cognitive dissonance(认知失调)：the mental disconnect between paying for something and not getting the expected return on investment,It could also be an automatic reaction to regret.Or,Olivola gays,it could be an attempt to convince others,and ourselves,that we're not wasteful. You still feel the guilt of "wasting"money even when it's not your own.In one experiment,Olivola asked participants to imagine that they felt full after eating a few bites of rich cake at a party.Participants were asked to imagine that they had bought the cake themselves,or that someone else had purchased it,They were then asked whether they'd finish the cake,despite feeling full.Regardless of who had bought the cake-friends,strangers or the participants themselves-people were far more likely to say they'd keep eating the expensive cake.
