B Amazon is shifting from plastic air pillows to recycled paper for packaging in North America because it’s more environmentally friendly, and it said that its paper just works better. The company said it’s already replaced 95 percent of the plastic air pillows with paper filler in North America and is working toward complete removal. “We want to ensure that customers receive their items undamaged while using as little packaging as possible to avoid waste and prioritize recyclable materials,” Amazon said. It is the company’s largest plastic packaging reduction effort in North America to date and will remove almost 1.5 billion plastic air pillows from use annually. The e-commerce giant has faced years of criticism about its use of plastic from environmental groups. The company revealed the total of single-use plastic across global operations for the first time in 2022 after investors sought more details on plans to reduce waste. The company said it used 85,916 metric tons of single-use plastic that year, an 11.6 percent decrease from 2021. Amazon discovered through testing that the 100 percent recyclable, curbside recyclable paper filler offers the same, if not better, protection during shipping compared to plastic air pillows. Christian Garcia, from Amazon’s fulfillment center in Bakersfield, California, stated that the paper filler is easier to work with and the machinery provides more space to pack orders. Ongoing Amazon efforts to reduce waste include a campaign to ship items without additional packaging, with 11 percent of the company’s packages in 2022 shipped worldwide without added delivery packaging. Other initiatives involve piloting new technology with the AI and robotics company Glacier to automate the sorting of recyclables and collect real-time data on recycling streams as well as partnering with the US Department of Energy on new materials and recycling programs. 24. Why is Amazon replacing plastic air pillows with recycled paper? A. To bring down shipping costs. B. To increase packaging efficiency. C. To enhance customer satisfaction. D. To reduce its environmental impact. 25. What caused Amazon to reveal its data on plastic usage in 2022? A. Investor demands. B. Customer complaints. C. Government regulations. D. Pressure from environmental groups. 26. What do we know about paper filler according to Amazon? A. It requires less packaging material. B. It is easier for customers to handle. C. It is equally effective during shipping. D. It costs much less but takes up more space. 27. What is Amazon currently doing to reduce waste? A. Trying out new technologies. B. Reducing product sizes and weights. C. Partnering with environmental groups. D. Initiating a global fight to ban plastic. C First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot (笨蛋) in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are brief and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s all you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere...” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting. If anything, you should try harder: Listen well, ask relevant questions, smile often, tell a joke, and share what you care about. None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work. Anyway if this is your first impression of me, I hope it’s been a good one. 28. What does paragraph 2 focus on about first impressions? A. They are brief and temporary. B. They are casual and interesting. C. They are important and lasting. D. They are negative and dynamic. 29. How can you make a memorable first impression, according to the author? A. By engaging in small talk. B. By avoiding risky behavior. C. By demonstrating insight or humor. D. By sharing your personal experiences. 30. What tone does the author take when discussing the effectiveness of his advice? A. Playful. B. Uncertain. C. Serious. D. Convincing. 31. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Making a Good First Impression B. The True Art of First Impression C. Why Second Impression More D. The Lasting Impact of First Impression D The Ediacaran Period, spanning from about 635 to 541 million years ago, was a crucial time in Earth’s history. It marked a transformative era during which complex, multicellular organisms (多细胞生物) emerged, setting the stage for an explosion of life. But how did this explosion of life unfold? Researchers from the University of Rochester in New York US, have uncovered strong evidence that Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) was in a highly unusual state when the large animals of the Ediacaran Period diversified and thrived. According to John Tarduno, a professor of geophysics in the university’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, one of the most remarkable life forms during the Ediacaran Period was the Ediacaran fauna — a handful of strange creatures found in Australia, Canada and the English Midlands. They were notable for looking like early animals and some even reached more than a meter in size and were able to move, indicating that they probably needed more oxygen compared to earlier life forms. Tarduno and his team used innovative strategies and techniques to examine the strength of the magnetic field by studying magnetism locked in ancient feldspar and pyroxene crystals (辉石晶体) from a rock called anorthosite. These crystals contain magnetic particles (粒子) that preserve magnetization from the time the minerals were formed. By dating the rocks, researchers can construct a timeline of the development of Earth’s magnetic field. Their data indicates that Earth’s magnetic field during the Ediacaran Period was the weakest known to date, lasting for at least 26 million years. A weak magnetic field makes it easier for charged particles from the sun to strip away lightweight atoms such as hydrogen from the atmosphere. If hydrogen loss is significant, more oxygen may remain in the atmosphere. Instead of reacting with hydrogen to form water vapor. These reactions can lead to a buildup of oxygen over time. The research suggests that during the Ediacaran Period, the extremely weak magnetic field caused a loss of hydrogen over at least tens of millions of years. This loss may have led to increased oxygen in the atmosphere and ocean, enabling more advanced life forms to emerge. 32. What did the researchers aim to find out? A. The origin of multicellular organisms. B. The link between oxygen and ecosystems. C. The impact of Earth’s magnetic field on life. D. The effects of climate change on biodiversity. 33. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing evolution of Ediacaran fauna. B. By examining magnetism in ancient minerals. C. By modeling the atmospheric changes in the lab. D. By comparing different periods in Earth’s history. 34. What does the underlined phrase “strip away” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Remove. B. Cover. C. Gather. D. generate. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The significance of the research. B. A suggestion for further research. C. An analysis of the research method. D. An explanation for the research results. 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。 If you’re like most Americans, you’re probably not getting enough sleep. ___36___ Poor sleep has been linked to high blood pressure, high cholesterol (高胆固醇), inflammation (炎症), heart attacks and more. One way to deal with this is to catch up on your sleep when you can, especially on weekends. ___37___ But can it really undo the cardiac (心脏的)damage that comes from a sleep-poor work week? According to a new study presented at a meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, it might. The study looked at data from nearly 91,000 people in the UK Biobankproject, a large health database. ___38___ Those who averaged fewer than seven hours — about 22 people of the group — were considered sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的). Some participants wore sleep-tracking devices that measured how much extra sleep they got on weekends. ___39___ The study found that sleep-deprived people who got the most extra sleep on weekends — at least 90 minutes more than usual — had about a 20 percent lower risk of various heart-related illnesses, compared to those who got the least extra sleep on weekends. Weekend catch-up sleep may have this effect in several ways. During sleep, the heart rate slows down and blood pressure can drop by 10 to 20 percent, a process called nocturnal dipping (夜间血压下降). Poor sleep can also cause inflammation, which can lead to heart disease. ___40___ A. It may help you feel more rested. B. It has positive impacts on heart health. C Participants reported how much sleep they got each night. D. They suffer from mental health disorders due to lack of sleep. E. However, catching up on sleep helps reduce this inflammation. F. The researchers then checked on their heart health 14 years later. G. This lack of sleep can be harmful to your body, especially your heart. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30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。 Several years ago, I was teaching in Melbourne.

Dechen Chodron, 32, is a thangka ___57___ (art). She learned painting at the Xueduibai School for Traditional Arts and Crafts. After graduating, she returned to teach there while also making her own thangka art. However, Chodron not only teaches students, but also runs thangka workshops for tourists.

Each time he heard that sound, Mark’s heart sank. He shifted uncomfortably, trying to focus on the screen, but his mind kept returning to the damage the cigarettes were doing to his father’s lungs. Mark couldn’t understand it. His dad was brilliant and spent quality time with him — why would he risk his health? What if it led to an early death? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Mark’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Mark’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Mark approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Mark’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it’s still so hard on him, on us...” The next day at school, Mark was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?” Mark asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Mark. The reply gave Mark a ray of hope — and an idea. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mark decided to take action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Mark found a note from his dad on his bed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度高三年级第一学期教学质量调研（二） 英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，将答案写在答题卡上指定位置，在其他位置作答一律无效。 3.本卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man want to be?

M: Oh, I see. They would need a continuous supply of oxygen and I’m not sure how easy that would be. But scientists are developing that kind of thing all the time. W: What about water? There isn’t any on the Moon. M: That’s true, but I know astronauts recycle water when on the International Space Station. W: Recycle the water? How? M: Er…how do you think? W: Ugh!

Where does the speaker come from? A. Britain. B. Canada. C. South Africa. 18. What should be learned to understand native English speakers easily? A. Differences in the speakers’ accents. B. Differences in the speakers’ professions. C. Differences in the speakers’ pronunciation and vocabulary. 19. Who speaks clear and polite English according to the speaker? A. Upper-class English people in the South. B. Upper-class English people in the North. C. Upper-class American people in the South. 20. What does “I’m knackered!” mean? A. I’m exhausted. B. I’m very confused. C. I’m so cold. 【答案】17. C 18. C 19. A 20. A 【解析】 【原文】It is easy to get confused by many different kinds of English spoken all over the world. Native English speakers come from many different places, including America, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and even my home country — South Africa. Although they all speak English, they do not say everything in the same way. There are a few important differences. Sometimes the pronunciation will be different. At other times, the vocabulary will not be the same. If you learn these differences, you will have a much easier time understanding native English speakers, no matter where they are from. People from Britain are known for speaking with very clear, polite English. But this is not true for all British people. In reality, mainly upper-class English people in the South speak this way. British people use many of their own special words too. If you hear a British person cry out, “I’m knackered (疲惫不堪的)!”, it means “I’m very tired!” And when it is cold, British people wear their “jumpers”, which is the British word for sweater. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每题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 Notice on Ticket Purchasing for Surflight Theatre When buying tickets for Surflight Theatre events be cautious of tickets from sources other than our official channels, like ticketcenter.com, which may overcharge you.

The company said it’s already replaced 95 percent of the plastic air pillows with paper filler in North America and is working toward complete removal. “We want to ensure that customers receive their items undamaged while using as little packaging as possible to avoid waste and prioritize recyclable materials,” Amazon said. It is the company’s largest plastic packaging reduction effort in North America to date and will remove almost 1.5 billion plastic air pillows from use annually. The e-commerce giant has faced years of criticism about its use of plastic from environmental groups. The company revealed the total of single-use plastic across global operations for the first time in 2022 after investors sought more details on plans to reduce waste. The company said it used 85,916 metric tons of single-use plastic that year, an 11.6 percent decrease from 2021. Amazon discovered through testing that the 100 percent recyclable, curbside recyclable paper filler offers the same, if not better, protection during shipping compared to plastic air pillows. Christian Garcia, from Amazon’s fulfillment center in Bakersfield, California, stated that the paper filler is easier to work with and the machinery provides more space to pack orders. Ongoing Amazon efforts to reduce waste include a campaign to ship items without additional packaging, with 11 percent of the company’s packages in 2022 shipped worldwide without added delivery packaging. Other initiatives involve piloting new technology with the AI and robotics company Glacier to automate the sorting of recyclables and collect real-time data on recycling streams as well as partnering with the US Department of Energy on new materials and recycling programs. 24. Why is Amazon replacing plastic air pillows with recycled paper? A. To bring down shipping costs. B. To increase packaging efficiency. C. To enhance customer satisfaction. D. To reduce its environmental impact. 25. What caused Amazon to reveal its data on plastic usage in 2022? A. Investor demands. B. Customer complaints. C. Government regulations. D. Pressure from environmental groups. 26. What do we know about paper filler according to Amazon? A. It requires less packaging material. B. It is easier for customers to handle. C. It is equally effective during shipping. D. It costs much less but takes up more space. 27. What is Amazon currently doing to reduce waste? A. Trying out new technologies. B. Reducing product sizes and weights. C. Partnering with environmental groups. D. Initiating a global fight to ban plastic. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了亚马逊在北美用再生纸填充物替代塑料气枕，以减少塑料包装并提及相关环保举措与成效。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Amazon is shifting from plastic air pillows to recycled paper for packaging in North America because it’s more environmentally friendly, and it said that its paper just works better.(亚马逊正在北美将包装用的塑料气枕换成再生纸，因为再生纸更环保，而且该公司称这种纸的使用效果更好。)”可知，亚马逊替换包装材料的核心原因是减少对环境的影响，环保是首要因素。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The company revealed the total of single-use plastic across global operations for the first time in 2022 after investors sought more details on plans to reduce waste.(2022年，在投资者要求了解更多减少浪费计划的细节后，该公司首次披露了其全球业务中一次性塑料的使用总量。)”可知，是投资者的信息需求促使亚马逊公布了2022年的塑料使用数据。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Amazon discovered through testing that the 100 percent recyclable, curbside recyclable paper filler offers the same, if not better, protection during shipping compared to plastic air pillows.(亚马逊通过测试发现，这种100%可回收、可在路边回收的纸填充物在运输过程中提供的保护效果，即使不比塑料气枕更好，也至少和它一样好。)”可知，纸填充物在运输中的防护效果与塑料气枕相当。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Other initiatives involve piloting new technology with the AI and robotics company Glacier to automate the sorting of recyclables and collect real-time data on recycling streams as well as partnering with the US Department of Energy on new materials and recycling programs.(其他举措包括与人工智能和机器人公司Glacier合作试点新技术，实现可回收物分类自动化并收集回收流程的实时数据，以及与美国能源部合作开展新材料和回收项目。)”可知，亚马逊目前正通过尝试新技术来减少浪费。故选A项。 C First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot (笨蛋) in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are brief and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s all you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere...” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting. If anything, you should try harder: Listen well, ask relevant questions, smile often, tell a joke, and share what you care about. None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work. Anyway, if this is your first impression of me, I hope it’s been a good one. 28. What does paragraph 2 focus on about first impressions? A. They are brief and temporary. B. They are casual and interesting. C. They are important and lasting. D. They are negative and dynamic. 29. How can you make a memorable first impression, according to the author? A. By engaging in small talk. B. By avoiding risky behavior. C. By demonstrating insight or humor. D. By sharing your personal experiences. 30. What tone does the author take when discussing the effectiveness of his advice? A. Playful. B. Uncertain. C. Serious. D. Convincing. 31. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Making a Good First Impression B. The True Art of First Impression C. Why Second Impression More D. The Lasting Impact of First Impression 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文指出第一印象并非永久定论，它往往短暂易逝；建议人们用见解或幽默留下好印象，若搞砸初次印象，可通过积极表现重塑二次印象。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are brief and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information.(给人留下第一印象就像试图用脚去撑开一扇门。与陌生人的接触往往是短暂的，而且可能不会再有下一次机会。有时这反而是一件好事：如果遇到的人并不愿意记住你，那你很快就会融入他们脑海中的众多陌生人之中，避免留下任何负面或持久的印象。但有时也会令人失望——想象一下，你与一位有趣的人搭起话来，结果却在交换联系方式之前就分道扬镳了)”可知，第一印象是简短且短暂的。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh.(通过提出一个有深度的问题或者逗人发笑来给人留下深刻的印象)”可知，展现洞察力或幽默感才能留下令人难忘的第一印象。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work.(顺便说一下，这一切都不构成一份“如何让别人喜欢你”的保证式指南。我甚至不确定其中任何一条是否有效。但人们似乎愿意和我交流，所以也许其中有些方法确实有效)”可知，作者在论述其建议的有效性时语气不确定。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot (笨蛋) in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that.(第一印象的杀伤力可能很大。但凡出一点差错，你或许就会觉得自己在别人眼里会永远是个笨蛋。不过，我相信现实并没有那么刻薄)”结合本文指出第一印象并非永久定论，它往往短暂易逝；建议人们用见解或幽默留下好印象，若搞砸初次印象，可通过积极表现重塑二次印象。可知，B选项“第一印象的艺术”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D The Ediacaran Period, spanning from about 635 to 541 million years ago, was a crucial time in Earth’s history. It marked a transformative era during which complex, multicellular organisms (多细胞生物) emerged, setting the stage for an explosion of life. But how did this explosion of life unfold? Researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, US, have uncovered strong evidence that Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) was in a highly unusual state when the large animals of the Ediacaran Period diversified and thrived. According to John Tarduno, a professor of geophysics in the university’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, one of the most remarkable life forms during the Ediacaran Period was the Ediacaran fauna — a handful of strange creatures found in Australia, Canada and the English Midlands. They were notable for looking like early animals and some even reached more than a meter in size and were able to move, indicating that they probably needed more oxygen compared to earlier life forms. Tarduno and his team used innovative strategies and techniques to examine the strength of the magnetic field by studying magnetism locked in ancient feldspar and pyroxene crystals (辉石晶体) from a rock called anorthosite. These crystals contain magnetic particles (粒子) that preserve magnetization from the time the minerals were formed. By dating the rocks, researchers can construct a timeline of the development of Earth’s magnetic field. Their data indicates that Earth’s magnetic field during the Ediacaran Period was the weakest known to date, lasting for at least 26 million years. A weak magnetic field makes it easier for charged particles from the sun to strip away lightweight atoms such as hydrogen from the atmosphere. If hydrogen loss is significant, more oxygen may remain in the atmosphere. Instead of reacting with hydrogen to form water vapor. These reactions can lead to a buildup of oxygen over time. The research suggests that during the Ediacaran Period, the extremely weak magnetic field caused a loss of hydrogen over at least tens of millions of years. This loss may have led to increased oxygen in the atmosphere and ocean, enabling more advanced life forms to emerge. 32. What did the researchers aim to find out? A. The origin of multicellular organisms. B. The link between oxygen and ecosystems. C. The impact of Earth’s magnetic field on life. D. The effects of climate change on biodiversity. 33. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing evolution of Ediacaran fauna. B. By examining magnetism in ancient minerals. C. By modeling the atmospheric changes in the lab. D. By comparing different periods in Earth’s history. 34. What does the underlined phrase “strip away” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Remove. B. Cover. C. Gather. D. generate. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The significance of the research. B. A suggestion for further research. C. An analysis of the research method. D. An explanation for the research results. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国研究人员发现埃迪卡拉纪地球磁场异常微弱，这导致大气氢流失、氧气富集，或为该时期复杂多细胞生物蓬勃演化创造了条件。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Ediacaran Period, spanning from about 635 to 541 million years ago, was a crucial time in Earth’s history. It marked a transformative era during which complex, multicellular organisms (多细胞生物) emerged, setting the stage for an explosion of life. But how did this explosion of life unfold?( 埃迪卡拉纪，从大约6.35亿年前到5.41亿年前，是地球历史上的一个关键时期。它标志着一个变革的时代，在这个时代，复杂的多细胞生物出现了，为生命的爆发奠定了基础。但生命的大爆发是如何展开的呢？)”以及第二段中“Researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, US, have uncovered strong evidence that Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) was in a highly unusual state when the large animals of the Ediacaran Period diversified and thrived.( 美国纽约罗切斯特大学的研究人员发现了强有力的证据，表明当埃迪卡拉纪的大型动物多样化和繁盛时，地球磁场处于一种非常不寻常的状态。)”可知，研究人员的目的是探究地球磁场对生命演化的影响。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Tarduno and his team used innovative strategies and techniques to examine the strength of the magnetic field by studying magnetism locked in ancient feldspar and pyroxene crystals (辉石晶体) from a rock called anorthosite.( 塔都诺和他的团队采用创新的策略和技术，通过研究一种叫做斜长岩的岩石中的古老长石和辉石晶体中的磁性，来检测磁场的强度。)”可知，研究人员是通过检查古代矿物的磁性来进行这项研究的。故选B项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“A weak magnetic field makes it easier for charged particles from the sun to strip away lightweight atoms such as hydrogen from the atmosphere.( 弱磁场使得来自太阳的带电粒子更容易从大气中strip away氢等轻原子。)”以及下文“If hydrogen loss is significant, more oxygen may remain in the atmosphere.( 如果氢的损失是显著的，更多的氧可能留在大气中。)”可知，此处指带电粒子更容易从大气中剥离氢等轻原子。故可猜测划线短语strip away意为“移除、剥离”，和A选项Remove“移除”意思相近。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The research suggests that during the Ediacaran Period, the extremely weak magnetic field caused a loss of hydrogen over at least tens of millions of years. This loss may have led to increased oxygen in the atmosphere and ocean, enabling more advanced life forms to emerge.( 研究表明，在埃迪卡拉纪，极弱的磁场导致了至少数千万年的氢损失。这种损失可能导致大气和海洋中的氧气增加，使更先进的生命形式得以出现。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是对研究结果的解释。故选D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。 If you’re like most Americans, you’re probably not getting enough sleep. ___36___ Poor sleep has been linked to high blood pressure, high cholesterol (高胆固醇), inflammation (炎症), heart attacks and more. One way to deal with this is to catch up on your sleep when you can, especially on weekends. ___37___ But can it really undo the cardiac (心脏的)damage that comes from a sleep-poor work week? According to a new study presented at a meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, it might. The study looked at data from nearly 91,000 people in the UK Biobankproject, a large health database. ___38___ Those who averaged fewer than seven hours — about 22 people of the group — were considered sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的). Some participants wore sleep-tracking devices that measured how much extra sleep they got on weekends. ___39___ The study found that sleep-deprived people who got the most extra sleep on weekends — at least 90 minutes more than usual — had about a 20 percent lower risk of various heart-related illnesses, compared to those who got the least extra sleep on weekends. Weekend catch-up sleep may have this effect in several ways. During sleep, the heart rate slows down and blood pressure can drop by 10 to 20 percent, a process called nocturnal dipping (夜间血压下降). Poor sleep can also cause inflammation, which can lead to heart disease. ___40___ A. It may help you feel more rested. B. It has positive impacts on heart health. C. Participants reported how much sleep they got each night. D. They suffer from mental health disorders due to lack of sleep. E. However, catching up on sleep helps reduce this inflammation. F. The researchers then checked on their heart health 14 years later. G. This lack of sleep can be harmful to your body, especially your heart. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. C 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍周末补觉的相关研究，说明补觉或可修复工作日睡眠不足对心脏造成的损伤。 【36题详解】 根据空前的“If you’re like most Americans, you’re probably not getting enough sleep.

Each time he heard that sound, Mark’s heart sank. He shifted uncomfortably, trying to focus on the screen, but his mind kept returning to the damage the cigarettes were doing to his father’s lungs. Mark couldn’t understand it. His dad was brilliant and spent quality time with him — why would he risk his health? What if it led to an early death? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Mark’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Mark’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Mark approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Mark’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it’s still so hard on him, on us...” The next day at school, Mark was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?” Mark asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Mark. The reply gave Mark a ray of hope — and an idea. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mark decided to take action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Mark found a note from his dad on his bed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Mark decided to take action. He started by moving his dad’s cigarettes from their usual spot and replacing them with printed statistics about the harmful effects of smoking. He also hid the cigarette lighters, thinking that even a small inconvenience might help. Moreover, he spent hours researching online, finding stories of people who had successfully quit, hoping they would inspire his dad. Finally, he wrote a heartfelt letter titled “Please Stop Smoking” and left it on his dad’s pillow. The next day, Mark found a note from his dad on his bed. It read, “Son, I truly appreciate your efforts. I know it’s bad for me and I want to stop too, but it’s tough.” Recognizing his dad’s struggle, Mark shifted his approach from persuasion to partnership. They became a team, talking openly about triggers, trying nicotine gum together, and marking progress on a calendar. As a united front, the journey became easier. His dad’s consumption decreased, and each milestone, big or small, strengthened their shared resolve. It was no longer just about quitting smoking, but about facing difficulties together as a family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以马克劝说父亲戒烟的经历为线索，讲述了马克因父亲吸烟的标志性咳嗽而忧心忡忡，得知母亲劝说无果后，从同学蒂姆父亲成功减少吸烟的经历中获得希望，进而萌生帮助父亲戒烟想法的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“马克决定采取行动。”可知，第一段可描写马克具体的行动，包括挪动父亲香烟的位置、替换成吸烟有害的统计资料、藏起打火机，还搜集戒烟成功的故事，并写了一封诚恳的信放在父亲枕边。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，马克在他的床上发现了一张他爸爸写的便条。”可知，第二段可描写便条的内容，马克转变帮助策略，和父亲并肩作战戒烟，以及父子二人共同努力后取得的进展和感悟。 2. 续写线索：马克采取行动——收到父亲便条—— 改变策略并肩戒烟—— 记录进度减少吸烟量——感悟家庭共渡难关的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①替换：replace/substitute/take the place of ②藏起：hide/conceal ③意识到：recognize/realize 情绪类 ①感激：appreciate/thank ②坚定：resolve/determination 【点睛】[高分句型1] He also hid the cigarette lighters, thinking that even a small inconvenience might help.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Finally, he wrote a heartfelt letter titled “Please Stop Smoking” and left it on his dad’s pillow.（运用了过去分词短语作后置定语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $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ABC3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，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Last night, we shared our dreams with each other in my family.
