The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attractive to young Henson. One day he made up his mind. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport. The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to seek work on a sailing ship. In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman. Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D. C. One day in1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U. S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee’ s skills and experience on ocean voyages, so he introduced Peary to Henson. Henson and Peary soon found they had a great deal in common, including their love of the sea. Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and intelligent seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship and suffering in the arctic cold had taken their toll on both men. This would be their last chance. In April 1909, Henson’ s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow. In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievement. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes` graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery. 4. What inspired fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson to seek work on a sailing ship in 1880? A. His love for reading adventure books. B. His desire to get a steady pay. C. His dream of becoming a famous explorer. D. His admiration for sailors’ exciting life stories. 5. The underlined phrase “taken their toll on” is closest in meaning to _________. A. been very costly B. been a valuable experience C. had a serious negative effect D. required them to pay a fine 6. Why did Robert Peary go into the hat shop where Henson worked? A. He wanted to employ experienced sailors for his expedition. B. His primary intention was to buy a hat. C. He knew Henson worked there and wanted to meet him. D. He was sent by the U. S. government to find Henson. 7. What can be inferred from the fact that Henson and Peary lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arington National Cemetery? A. Their families wanted them to be buried close to each other. B. The government forced them to be buried in the same cemetery. C. They were both highly respected for their achievement. D. They wished themselves to be buried in the same cemetery. C Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities. To know what’s going on, Serve has a laser radar (激光雷达) sensor on top, in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know how far away they are. Also, behind each artificial eye is a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. “One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. Since the sidewalk is “a very chaotic environment”, he points out, the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians. For that, it has a number of approaches. One is using its eyes; another is a colorful light ring that goes around the top. “When it wants to make way for a pedestrian, it will use its eyes and look down,” he explains. It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signal, which is obvious, and also look left and right when it’s turning left and right. “Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea,” says Aaron Steinfeld, a professor of human-robot interaction. Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot, that’s a lot. “We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,” he says. “And it’s really tricky to do this well.” Postmates plans to use Serve in Los Angeles at first, and that its intended task is to move small objects over short distances. The robot can travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds. 8. What is the specific function of the additional sensor that Serve has inside its body? A. To monitor package condition. B. To detect if a package is inside. C. To measure package weight. D. To detect movement around. 9. According to the text, how does Serve primarily detect and understand its environment? A. By heavily relying on its ability to see. B. Through its advanced hearing sensors. C. By following pre-programmed routes only. D. By communicating directly with pedestrians. 10. What’s the major challenge for robots on sidewalks mentioned by Professor Aaron Steinfeld? A. The weight of the packages they have to carry. B. The limited range of 30 miles on a single charge. C. The behavior of people walking fast while looking at their phones. D. The inability of sensors to work in rainy weather. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Postmates’ robot Serve and its key features. B. To describe the challenges robots face when operating on urban sidewalks. C. To explain the technical specifications of Postmates’ delivery robot Serve. D. To discuss the importance of human-robot interaction in technology development. D A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good health to prevent infections, especially among the elderly and dementia-prone individuals. The study examined aging male mice and found that repeated, intermittent experiences with moderate inflammation (发炎), such as that caused by the flu or a seasonal head cold, caused impaired cognition and disrupted communication between neurons in those mice. “We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” This study is the first to model repeated, intermittent infections in mice and examine the long-term consequences for brain function and health. Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. “Our mice only experienced intermittent sickness-like inflammation a handful of times so the fact that we observed impairments at all was surprising,” Engler-Chiurazzi said. “The effects were subtle, but that’s why I find these results meaningful: in a human, cognitive impairments from a similar number of inflammatory experiences might not be noticeable in their daily lives but could have accumulative effects that negatively impact the aging brain.” The findings may have important implications for standard of care around how infections are handled among the elderly and those at risk for dementia. Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. In addition, she hopes follow-up studies will investigate whether weaker populations face a higher burden of neurological effects. “The biggest takeaway from this research, in our opinion, is the importance of staying as healthy and infection-free as possible,” she said. 12. The researchers conduct the study in order to_________. A. highlight the frequent illness is harmless to human beings. B. identify whether the repeated inflammation will cause impaired cognition. C. explain the adult male mice are more likely to have impaired cognitive function. D show cognitive impairments from a few inflammatory experiences is not noticeable. 13. What can we learn about the study? A. The brains of these mice were unaffected by the disease. B. The infections have little effect on impacting the aging brain. C. Humans will suffer even more severe cognitive decline because of the frequent illness. D. Researchers used to examine the effects of repeated infections on brain function and health. 14. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 7 mean? A relieve B. strengthen C. promote D. emphasize 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The standard of care has been revealed. B. Mice will suffer from impaired cognition by flu. C. We human beings should stay as healthy and infection-free as possible. D. The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分。） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Multitasking is really bad for how much work you can get done. When we do multiple tasks at once, we keep “switching tasks”. ___16___ Switching between tasks a lot makes you less productive. Even though each switch cost might be small, when we keep changing between tasks over and over, those small costs add up to a lot. Multitasking might seem efficient at first, but in the end, it can take more time and lead to more mistakes. So, how do we start mono-tasking that is doing one task at a time? Try to work deeply, focusing on one thing. Instead of working in short 15 — 20-minute bursts, set aside 2 to 4 hours each day to work on a single project without any interruptions. Extending focused working time can improve work efficiency as well as work quality. ___17___ Get rid of distractions in your work environment. Mono-tasking is as much about getting rid of distractions as it is about focusing. ___18___ Mark fixed time on your calendar for specific work. ___19___ Schedule your day around peak performance times. Whether it’s early in the morning , right after lunch, or late at night, everyone has times of the day when they’re more productive. Once you identify your peak performance time, guard it! Focus on what’s important. Try to remember: At the end of our lives, no one will remember how quickly we responded to emails; no one on their deathbed asks for more time to sit through another budget meeting. ___20___ This is the key part of doing one task at a time. A. Avoiding distraction is of vital importance. B. Plan deep work for times when you work best. C. This causes a “switch cost” — the time needed to get used to a new task. D. Instead, we look for more time to concentrate on the meaningful thing. E. Frequent task switching can boost productivity a lot. F. Shut down your phones’ apps or anything else that sends notification. G. It can also reduce your work stress to some extent. 第三部分 语言运用 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。 A 100-year-old woman whose name is Margaret Griffiths is taking IT classes in an effort to catch up on modern technology.

With my mind mentally planning the math problems I needed to do that evening, I pushed a shopping cart, and loaded groceries with mechanical (机械的) efficiency: pasta, a jar of tomato sauce, two apples, a block of cheddar cheese, and a cheap cut of chicken — my mother had specifically asked me to buy, and my sister’s favorite yogurt. At the register, the cashier, a woman with tired eyes, scanned the items with practiced speed. The beeps seemed to echo in my ears. “That’ll be $128.75,” the cashier said, her voice flat. I took out my wallet, only to embarrassingly find that I didn’t have enough cash, being $12 short. My face grew warm, “I... I’m so sorry,” I stammered, avoiding the cashier’s gaze. I could feel the impatient stare from the line behind me. “I thought I had more. I’ll just... I can put the cheese back.” Just as I started removing items from my cart, “Wait.” The voice from behind was calm and gentle. I turned. The man who had been standing in line was perhaps in his late forties, with kind eyes and a soft smile. His expression wasn’t one of annoyance, but of understanding. “Please, don’t put it back,” he said, already extending a $20 note towards the cashier. “It’ s no trouble at all.” “No, really, I couldn’t,” I insisted, my pride stinging more than my embarrassment. “It’ s my mistake. Thank you, but it’s fine.” The man’s smile softened further, “Young man, we’ve all been there. Honestly. It’s a few dollars. Just pay it forward one day when you can.” His tone was so genuine that my resistance melted away. I saw not pity in his eyes, but a simple, shared humanity. “Let me tell you a story.” “My mother is battling cancer at City Hospital,” his voice was calm but with a hint of unnoticeable choke. “I’ve been visiting her with flowers — she loves fresh roses the most, and I bring her a bouquet every day to visit her. But this morning, she got mad and refused to accept my flowers no matter what,” he paused, looking at me sincerely. “She said I should use the money to help people who really need it.” 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。 Tears welled up in my eyes as I accepted his generosity ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I decided to find ways to keep my promise. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宾县一中2025-2026学年度高二上学期第二次月考 英语试卷 命题人：高三英语组 2025.11.05 第一部分 听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，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.

The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attractive to young Henson. One day he made up his mind. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport. The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to seek work on a sailing ship. In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman. Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D. C. One day in1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U. S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee’ s skills and experience on ocean voyages, so he introduced Peary to Henson. Henson and Peary soon found they had a great deal in common, including their love of the sea. Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and intelligent seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship and suffering in the arctic cold had taken their toll on both men. This would be their last chance. In April 1909, Henson’ s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow. In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievement. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes` graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery. 4. What inspired fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson to seek work on a sailing ship in 1880? A. His love for reading adventure books. B. His desire to get a steady pay. C. His dream of becoming a famous explorer. D. His admiration for sailors’ exciting life stories. 5. The underlined phrase “taken their toll on” is closest in meaning to _________. A. been very costly B. been a valuable experience C. had a serious negative effect D. required them to pay a fine 6. Why did Robert Peary go into the hat shop where Henson worked? A. He wanted to employ experienced sailors for his expedition. B. His primary intention was to buy a hat. C. He knew Henson worked there and wanted to meet him. D. He was sent by the U. S. government to find Henson. 7. What can be inferred from the fact that Henson and Peary lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arington National Cemetery? A. Their families wanted them to be buried close to each other. B. The government forced them to be buried in the same cemetery. C. They were both highly respected for their achievement. D. They wished themselves to be buried in the same cemetery. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Matthew Henson受水手故事启发，成为优秀水手，后与Robert Peary共同探索北极，成功到达北极并插上美国国旗，死后同葬英雄墓的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attractive to young Henson. One day he made up his mind. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport. The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to seek work on a sailing ship.(1880年，14岁的Matthew Henson喜欢听水手们讲述他们在海上激动人心的生活故事。旅行、冒险、危险和稳定的收入都吸引着年轻的Henson。一天，他下定决心。巴尔的摩是最近的大型海港。第二天早上，他踏上了40英里的旅程，去一艘帆船上找工作)”可知，Matthew Henson喜欢听水手们讲述他们在海上激动人心的生活故事，这吸引着他去一艘帆船上找工作，即他对水手们激动人心的生活故事的羡慕促使他去一艘帆船上找工作。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time.(在接下来的五年里，这两位探险家一起两次前往北极。然而，他们两次都没能到达极点)”和划线短语所在部分“The years of hardship and suffering in the arctic cold had taken their toll on both men. This would be their last chance.(多年来在北极寒冷的环境中生活的艰辛和痛苦taken their toll on两个人。这将是他们最后的机会)”可推知，在北极的寒冷中经历了多年的艰辛和苦难给他们带来不好的影响，让他们身体变差，所以这将是他们最后的机会。故画线短语taken their toll on的意思是“有严重的负面影响”。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D. C. One day in1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea.(由于在其他地方找不到工作，Henson在华盛顿特区的一家帽子店找到了一份工作。1887年的一天，一个男人进来买帽子。这个人，Robert Peary中尉，问店主是否认识有海上经验的人)”可知，Robert Peary进入Henson工作的帽子店是因为他想买一顶帽子。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievement. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes` graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.(在后来的岁月里，Robert Peary和Henson因他们的成就而备受尊敬。今天，这两位朋友和探险家伙伴躺在阿灵顿国家公墓相距不远的英雄墓中)”可推知，Henson和Peary躺在阿灵顿国家公墓相距不远的英雄墓中，说明他们因成就而受到高度尊敬。故选C项。 C Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities. To know what’s going on, Serve has a laser radar (激光雷达) sensor on top, in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know how far away they are. Also, behind each artificial eye is a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. “One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. Since the sidewalk is “a very chaotic environment”, he points out, the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians. For that, it has a number of approaches. One is using its eyes; another is a colorful light ring that goes around the top. “When it wants to make way for a pedestrian, it will use its eyes and look down,” he explains. It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signal, which is obvious, and also look left and right when it’s turning left and right. “Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea,” says Aaron Steinfeld, a professor of human-robot interaction. Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot, that’s a lot. “We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,” he says. “And it’s really tricky to do this well.” Postmates plans to use Serve in Los Angeles at first, and that its intended task is to move small objects over short distances. The robot can travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds. 8. What is the specific function of the additional sensor that Serve has inside its body? A. To monitor package condition. B. To detect if a package is inside. C. To measure package weight. D. To detect movement around. 9. According to the text, how does Serve primarily detect and understand its environment? A. By heavily relying on its ability to see. B. Through its advanced hearing sensors. C. By following pre-programmed routes only. D. By communicating directly with pedestrians. 10. What’s the major challenge for robots on sidewalks mentioned by Professor Aaron Steinfeld? A. The weight of the packages they have to carry. B. The limited range of 30 miles on a single charge. C. The behavior of people walking fast while looking at their phones. D. The inability of sensors to work in rainy weather. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Postmates’ robot Serve and its key features. B. To describe the challenges robots face when operating on urban sidewalks. C. To explain the technical specifications of Postmates’ delivery robot Serve. D. To discuss the importance of human-robot interaction in technology development. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种可以在城市中进行短距离投递的机器人。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. (机器人内部还有另一个传感器，能让Postmates公司知道里面是否装有包裹)”可知，Serve内部额外传感器的特定功能是检测内部是否有包裹。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,”says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. (Postmates公司机器人部门副总裁阿里・卡沙尼表示：“我们早期的关键决策之一，就是高度依赖机器人观察环境的能力。”)”可知，Serve主要通过高度依赖自身的观察能力来感知和理解周围环境。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot, that’s a lot. (Serve适用于人行道，斯坦菲尔德表示这种环境极具挑战性。人们通常会盯着智能手机快速行走，这对机器人来说难度很大)”可知，亚伦・斯坦菲尔德教授提到的人行道机器人面临的主要挑战是“人们盯着手机快速行走的行为”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities. (美国快递公司 Postmates 研发了一款名为 Serve 的机器人，其设计用途是在城市中进行短途配送)”以及后续段落又分别介绍了Serve的传感器配置、感知环境的方式、与行人的互动设计及使用计划等核心特征可知，文章主要目的是介绍Postmates公司的机器人Serve及其关键特点。故选A项。 D A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good health to prevent infections, especially among the elderly and dementia-prone individuals. The study examined aging male mice and found that repeated, intermittent experiences with moderate inflammation (发炎), such as that caused by the flu or a seasonal head cold, caused impaired cognition and disrupted communication between neurons in those mice. “We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” This study is the first to model repeated, intermittent infections in mice and examine the long-term consequences for brain function and health. Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. “Our mice only experienced intermittent sickness-like inflammation a handful of times, so the fact that we observed impairments at all was surprising,” Engler-Chiurazzi said. “The effects were subtle, but that’s why I find these results meaningful: in a human, cognitive impairments from a similar number of inflammatory experiences might not be noticeable in their daily lives but could have accumulative effects that negatively impact the aging brain.” The findings may have important implications for standard of care around how infections are handled among the elderly and those at risk for dementia. Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. In addition, she hopes follow-up studies will investigate whether weaker populations face a higher burden of neurological effects. “The biggest takeaway from this research, in our opinion, is the importance of staying as healthy and infection-free as possible,” she said. 12. The researchers conduct the study in order to_________. A. highlight the frequent illness is harmless to human beings. B. identify whether the repeated inflammation will cause impaired cognition. C. explain the adult male mice are more likely to have impaired cognitive function. D. show cognitive impairments from a few inflammatory experiences is not noticeable. 13. What can we learn about the study? A. The brains of these mice were unaffected by the disease. B. The infections have little effect on impacting the aging brain. C. Humans will suffer even more severe cognitive decline because of the frequent illness. D. Researchers used to examine the effects of repeated infections on brain function and health. 14. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. relieve B. strengthen C. promote D. emphasize 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The standard of care has been revealed. B. Mice will suffer from impaired cognition by flu. C. We human beings should stay as healthy and infection-free as possible. D. The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。 杜兰大学研究发现，频繁生病可能加速大脑老化，并增加患痴呆或认知衰退的风险，以小鼠实验佐证，还提及研究意义与后续方向，强调保持健康防感染的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” (该研究的主要作者伊丽莎白・恩格勒 - 基乌拉齐博士表示：“我们感兴趣的是，感染经历的差异是否能至少在一定程度上解释我们在人群中观察到的痴呆症发病率差异。我们研究的小鼠是接近中年的健康成年鼠，但当它们接触间歇性炎症时，记忆力会下降，神经元功能也会变差。”)”可知，研究人员开展研究是为了确认反复炎症是否会导致认知障碍。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. (人类经历感染和炎症的频率通常远高于实验室小鼠。但鉴于仅经过五次间歇性炎症处理后，小鼠就出现了损伤，人类的认知变化可能会更严重)”可推断，由于人类生病更频繁，因此会因频繁生病遭受更严重的认知衰退。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第七段中“Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. (恩格勒 - 基乌拉齐表示，未来需要开展更多研究，以了解感染为何会影响大脑，以及如何mitigate这些影响)”可知，“those effects”指“感染对大脑的不良影响”，结合“了解原因”和科研逻辑，后续应是研究“减轻”影响的方法，故mitigate意为“减轻”，与A项“relieve(缓解，减轻)”语义一致。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. ( 杜兰大学研究发现，频繁生病可能加速大脑老化，并增加患痴呆或认知衰退的风险)”以及后文围绕该研究的对象（小鼠）、过程、结果及启示展开可知，文章主要讲频繁生病与痴呆症的关联。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分。） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Multitasking is really bad for how much work you can get done. When we do multiple tasks at once, we keep “switching tasks”. ___16___ Switching between tasks a lot makes you less productive. Even though each switch cost might be small, when we keep changing between tasks over and over, those small costs add up to a lot. Multitasking might seem efficient at first, but in the end, it can take more time and lead to more mistakes. So, how do we start mono-tasking that is doing one task at a time? Try to work deeply, focusing on one thing. Instead of working in short 15 — 20-minute bursts, set aside 2 to 4 hours each day to work on a single project without any interruptions. Extending focused working time can improve work efficiency as well as work quality. ___17___ Get rid of distractions in your work environment. Mono-tasking is as much about getting rid of distractions as it is about focusing. ___18___ Mark fixed time on your calendar for specific work. ___19___ Schedule your day around peak performance times. Whether it’s early in the morning , right after lunch, or late at night, everyone has times of the day when they’re more productive. Once you identify your peak performance time, guard it! Focus on what’s important. Try to remember: At the end of our lives, no one will remember how quickly we responded to emails; no one on their deathbed asks for more time to sit through another budget meeting. ___20___ This is the key part of doing one task at a time. A. Avoiding distraction is of vital importance. B. Plan deep work for times when you work best. C. This causes a “switch cost” — the time needed to get used to a new task. D. Instead, we look for more time to concentrate on the meaningful thing. E. Frequent task switching can boost productivity a lot. F. Shut down your phones’ apps or anything else that sends notification. G. It can also reduce your work stress to some extent. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了多任务处理的负面影响和单任务处理的建议与优势。 【16题详解】 前文“Multitasking is really bad for how much work you can get done. When we do multiple tasks at once, we keep “switching tasks”. (多任务处理对你能完成多少工作是有害的。当我们同时做多项任务时，我们会不断地“切换任务”)”提到不断切换任务，后文“Switching between tasks a lot makes you less productive. Even though each switch cost might be small, when we keep changing between tasks over and over, those small costs add up to a lot. (频繁地在不同任务之间切换会降低你的效率。尽管每次转换的成本可能很小，但当我们不断地在任务之间切换时，这些小成本加起来就会很大)”说明每次切换都会降低效率，因此C项“This causes a “switch cost” — the time needed to get used to a new task. (这会导致“切换成本”——即适应新任务所需的时间)”符合语境，解释任务切换的具体负面影响，承前启后。故选C。 【17题详解】 前文“Extending focused working time can improve work efficiency as well as work quality. (延长专注的工作时间可以提高工作效率和工作质量)”指出延长专注时间可以提升效率和质量，空处应补充额外益处，因此G项“It can also reduce your work stress to some extent. (这也能在一定程度上降低你的工作压力)”符合语境，补充减轻工作压力的益处，承接前文，其中的It指代前文的Extending focused working time。故选G。 【18题详解】 前文“Mono-tasking is as much about getting rid of distractions as it is about focusing. (单任务处理既要集中注意力，也要避免分心)”建议排除干扰，后文“Mark fixed time on your calendar for specific work. (在日历上为特定的工作标记固定的时间)”给出固定工作时间的具体措施，空处应同样给出排除干扰的具体措施，因此F项“Shut down your phones’ apps or anything else that sends notification. (关闭手机应用或其他发送通知的功能)”符合语境，建议关闭通知以避免干扰，承接前文，和后文行为逻辑连贯。故选F。 【19题详解】 后文“Schedule your day around peak performance times. Whether it’s early in the morning , right after lunch, or late at night, everyone has times of the day when they’re more productive. (把你的一天安排在工作效率最高的时候。无论是清晨、午饭后还是深夜，每个人都有一天中效率最高的时候)”主要讨论个人高效时段，建议在这一时段工作，空处是段落主旨句，应建议在个人高效时段工作，且需和其他段落主旨句一样使用祈使句的形式，因此B项“Plan deep work for times when you work best. (在你效率最高的时段安排深度工作)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选B。 20题详解】 前文“Try to remember: At the end of our lives, no one will remember how quickly we responded to emails; no one on their deathbed asks for more time to sit through another budget meeting. (试着记住：在我们生命的尽头，没有人会记得我们回复邮件的速度有多快；没有人在临终前会要求更多的时间来坐着开另一个预算会议)”批判无意义的忙碌，后文“This is the key part of doing one task at a time. (这是一次只做一项任务的关键部分)”强调某件事的关键性，空处应给出做有意义的事的建议，因此D项“Instead, we look for more time to concentrate on the meaningful thing. (相反，我们应争取更多时间专注真正有意义的事)”符合语境，提到应专注真正有意义的事，承前启后，选项内容是后文This指代的对象。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用 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。 A 100-year-old woman whose name is Margaret Griffiths is taking IT classes in an effort to catch up on modern technology.

With my mind mentally planning the math problems I needed to do that evening, I pushed a shopping cart, and loaded groceries with mechanical (机械的) efficiency: pasta, a jar of tomato sauce, two apples, a block of cheddar cheese, and a cheap cut of chicken — my mother had specifically asked me to buy, and my sister’s favorite yogurt. At the register, the cashier, a woman with tired eyes, scanned the items with practiced speed. The beeps seemed to echo in my ears. “That’ll be $128.75,” the cashier said, her voice flat. I took out my wallet, only to embarrassingly find that I didn’t have enough cash, being $12 short. My face grew warm, “I... I’m so sorry,” I stammered, avoiding the cashier’s gaze. I could feel the impatient stare from the line behind me. “I thought I had more. I’ll just... I can put the cheese back.” Just as I started removing items from my cart, “Wait.” The voice from behind was calm and gentle. I turned. The man who had been standing in line was perhaps in his late forties, with kind eyes and a soft smile. His expression wasn’t one of annoyance, but of understanding. “Please, don’t put it back,” he said, already extending a $20 note towards the cashier. “It’ s no trouble at all.” “No, really, I couldn’t,” I insisted, my pride stinging more than my embarrassment. “It’ s my mistake. Thank you, but it’s fine.” The man’s smile softened further, “Young man, we’ve all been there. Honestly. It’s a few dollars. Just pay it forward one day when you can.” His tone was so genuine that my resistance melted away. I saw not pity in his eyes, but a simple, shared humanity. “Let me tell you a story.” “My mother is battling cancer at City Hospital,” his voice was calm but with a hint of unnoticeable choke. “I’ve been visiting her with flowers — she loves fresh roses the most, and I bring her a bouquet every day to visit her. But this morning, she got mad and refused to accept my flowers no matter what,” he paused, looking at me sincerely. “She said I should use the money to help people who really need it.” 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。 Tears welled up in my eyes as I accepted his generosity ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I decided to find ways to keep my promise. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Tears welled up in my eyes as I accepted his generosity: “I…I don’t know what to say. Thank you. Really, thank you and your mother, so much.” I managed to say, my voice thick with emotion. “I’ll pay this kindness forward, I promise.” “That’ll be great,” he smiled warmly, giving my arm a brief, reassuring pat, “Have a good night.” I stood there, my eyes following him until he faded into the glow of the exit. That evening, as I told my family about the incident, they were deeply moved.（91） Paragraph 2: I decided to find ways to keep my promise. I started volunteering regularly at a local food bank every weekend. At school, whenever I noticed my classmates struggling, I offered a helping hand. Besides, I donated unused items to the charity, offered my seat on the bus, helped my neighbors with their groceries, and bought a coffee for the homeless when chances came. Every time I paid forward, I knew the kindness didn’t end with me but was passed on, just as the man had hoped and just as I had promised.（83） 【解析】 【导语】 本文以人物为线索展开，讲述秋日午后作者去超市购物，结账时发现现金差12美元，尴尬欲放回奶酪。排队的四十多岁男子见状，主动递钱帮忙，作者起初拒绝，男子以母亲患癌却让他用买花的钱助人的事劝说。最终作者接受帮助，也感受到陌生人的善意与人与人之间的温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我接受他的善意，泪水渐渐涌上眼眶”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者含泪谢男子相助并承诺传善意，目送其离开，当晚告知家人，家人亦受触动。 ②由第二段首句内容“我决心想办法兑现承诺。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者为兑现承诺，通过周末做志愿、帮同学等传递善意，让温暖延续。 2续写线索：接受善意——感谢——承诺——告知家人——家人亦触动——兑现承诺——传递善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①说：say/utter ②注意到： notice/be aware of/observe ③帮助：help/assist/aid 情绪类 ①亲切地：warmly/kindly ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1].
