B(2019全国Ⅱ卷) I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo,Paris for 11 years.Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here.Globally,a third of Sumatran (cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood,so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. I've got two children-the younger one,Kynan,was extremely happy about the tigers arriving- but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow.I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids.These were cubs.They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk. As they grew more mobile,we let them move freely around the house during the day,but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room,otherwise they'd get up to mischief.We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down,and left it looking like a zoo. Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.I was grateful that my family was there to help.We had to have a bit of a production line going,making up"tiger milk",washing baby bottles,and cleaning the floors. When Spot and Stripe were four months old,they were learning how to open doors and jump 3 fences,and we knew it really was time for them to go.It was hard for us to finally part with them.For the first few days,Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there. I'm not sad about it.I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo,and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them. 24.Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home? A.To ensure their survival. B.To observe their differences. C.To teach them life skills D.To let them play with his kids. 25.What do the underlined words"get up to mischief'mean in paragraph 3? A.Lose their way.B.Sleep soundly. C.Behave badly. D.Miss their mom. 26.What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home? A.Boring. B.Tiring. C.Costly. D.Risky. 27.Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo? A.They frightened the children. B.They started fighting each other. C.They annoyed the neighbours. D.They became difficult to contain. C Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar. A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence (Al)to detect changes in glucose levels without the need to draw blood several times a day The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning Al, developed by the researchers.The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features including how long it takes for them to return to the device. Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were85 percent as accurate as traditional,.invasive(穿剌式的)blood analysis.. "The result was amazing,"says Shaker."We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes." Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin,which makes the process more challenging.The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power. The data analyzed by Al is now sent wirelessly to computers,but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate. "I hope we'll see a wearable device on the market within five years,"Shaker says."There are challenges,but the research has been going at a really good rate." 28.What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A.The radar-reflected wave analysis process. B.The technical principle underlying the system. C.The high-frequency wave transmission technique. D.The machine-learning-powered glucose detection. 29.What do Shaker's words in paragraph 5 suggest? A.The radar system's practicality is proven. B.The radar technology's limitations are noticed. C.The volunteers'test performance was highlighted. D.The traditional blood analysis's accuracy is emphasized. 30.What does the follow-up study focus on? A.Developing smartwatches for AI analysis. B.Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology. C.Improving skin-based glucose quantification. D.Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly. 31.What is Shaker's attitude toward the research? A.Unclear. B.Critical. C.Approving. D.Doubtful. 0 Saying farewell to someone you love,even for a night,can be difficult,much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death.Juliet bid Romeo adieu (for the evening with the words,"Parting is such sweet sorrow."Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron().But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships. Relationships are based on feelings,emotions,and passion.Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment.Emotions intensify over time.People spend time with the people they like.The more one person likes another person,the closer the relationship becomes.Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person. Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity.Separation,even a temporary absence,from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company. The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship.The time spent together is emotionally rewarding,especially if that person is seen as a soulmate.Humans are social beings.We seek the love and comfort of other people.Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness.Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships.Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships.Herein (lies the essential point of the emotional problem. The more intense relationships become,the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation.The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection. Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can;knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship.If it doesn't hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn't worth saying hello. 32.Which of the word group can create the same effect as"sweet sorrow"? A.Deafening silence.B.Icy cold. C.Clicking sound. D.Endless speech. 33.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life. B.The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow. C.A person's identity is connected with relatienship. D.Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye. 34.What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life? A.Making more communication with others. B.Building deep emotional connections with others. C.Comforting friends with love and intense feelings. D.Being a thoughtful person by standing in others'shoes. 35.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships. B.Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment. C.The pain of separation is the measure of relationships. D.Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it. 5 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。 A recent study suggests that reading paper books does make you smarter.While all reading benefits the brain,particularly at a young age,physical books offer the most advantages.Students who read paper books scored approximately 2.5 years ahead of those who didn't read,whereas digital readers scored just under a year ahead.36 A previous study has consistently shown that reading comprehension is better with paper books compared to digital reading.37 Even in areas where digital reading is more common,students who read paper books demonstrate a better understanding of the material.One reason for this is that reading on paper comes with fewer distractions.Digital platforms often distract readers with games or videos.38Additionally,the absence of blue light in physical books prevents potential harm to readers'eyes and aids in better sleep.The brain activity involved in reading a paper book helps the mind wind down,avoiding blue Light that can interrupt the circadian rhythm(生物钟)， 39 Children surrounded by books are encouraged to read and discuss what they learn, developing a habit of engaged learning and achieving greater success.While digital books have made reading more accessible to disadvantaged students,they do not replace the unique benefits of physical books.However,since physical copies can be more expensive and harder to find,digital reading remains a valuable alternative. It's true that paper books have clear advantages.40 So,regardless of how you choose to read,know that any book is better than none. A.Paper books,on the contrary,keep readers focused. B.Unfortunately,the same cannot be said for digital books. C.This difference of more than a year and a half is significant., D.Digital reading,on the other hand,is far better than not reading at all. E.The new one further confirms the long-term benefits for physical book readers. F.Consider adding more paper books to your physical library,rather than digital ones. G.Moreover,people with more books at home are typically higher academic achievers 第三部分语言运用（共三节，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。 Last summer,to escape the heat of my home city,I ventured north to Norway,visiting my friend Lars in his ancestral village.Eager to show me local life,he invited me to a family dinner at his grandparents'wooden house by the water.I accepted with great 41.

I heard him say,"Yes,Miss Beisner,"and"I understand what you're saying,Miss Beisner.I appreciate you sharing this information.We'll see what we can do about the situation.Thank you for calling. Goodbye..” Miss Beisner was my first-grade teacher,and I loved her.I thought she felt the same about me,but now I was beginning to wonder.The tone of Dad's voice,the redness in his cheeks,and his repeated clenching and unclenching of fists made it pretty clear.This was not a warm and fuzzy good news-from-the-teacher call. As I was deciding whether I should lock myself in my bedroom for the rest of my life or run away from home,Dad hung up the phone."Jacquie,come here and sit down.We need to talk." Uh-oh.When Dad said,"We need to talk,"it meant he needed to talk,and I needed to listen. I shuffled(拖着脚走)over to the well-worn brown chair in the corner of the living room,plopped down,and waited to hear the nature of my crime. Dad told me that Miss Beisner thought I was bright but not working up to my ability.She said I had strong verbal skills but weak study habits.Translation:I never closed my mouth,and I seldom opened a book.Apparently,my failure to memorize the addition facts,or even attempt to,was more than she was willing to put up with.Hence,the telephone call. Dad ended our one-way conversation with a verbal outline for his plan of attack.Bubbles,our shepherd dog,was going to teach me math.Silently,I thought,No way is any dumb dog going to teach me how to add,not even our beloved Bubbles.Out loud,I said,"How?" Dad summoned Bubbles from her bed near the stove and commanded her to sit."Bubbles,"Dad said,"how much is five plus three?"Bubbles let out eight loud,crisp barks I was incredulous(满腹g孤疑的).I couldn't understand how a dog could add,.and I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that the family dog was smarter than me. After that,I threw myself into math with newfound determination. One day,I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add. 8重庆八中2025—2026学年度（上）高二年级第四次周考 英语答案 听力：(1.5*20=30) 1-5:CCBCB 6-10:ABACA 11-15:BBCCC 16-20:BCABB 阅读：(2.5*20-50) 21-23:BBA 24-27:ACBD .28-31:BACC 32-35:ADBC 36-40:CEAGD 完型：(1*15=15 41-45:ACDCA 46-50:BDABC 51-55:BBDCD 单词拼写：(1*10=10) 56.qualifications 57.pouring 58.infectious 59.expense 60.exposure 61.overwhelmingly 62.generated 63.assuming 64.patriotic 65.attained 单句语法填空：(1*5-5) 66.Whoever 67.how 68.that 69.was stopped 70.have been labouring/have laboured 应用文：(15 Dear Liam, Warmest congratulations on your acceptance to Peking University's Science Summer Camp!This is a remarkable achievement, and I couldn't be happier for you.

Best regards, Li Hua 读后续写：(25) After that,I threw myself into math with newfound determination.Instead of chatting with my friends after school,I would perch at the desk,textbooks splayed out before me,and practice addition and subtraction.I thought to myself,if Bubbles,a dog,could learn math,then surely,I could too.With each passing week,I could see the fruits of my labor.Occasionally,during our study sessions,Dad would call Bubbles over.She would bark out the correct answers to simple math problems-it was a unique,interactive way for me to assess my progress.I swelled with pride at my achievements,my parents were overjoyed,and Miss Beisner's smile retumned.Still, Bubbles'extraordinary talent for math kept me curious. One day,I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add.I couldn't help but wonder if there was a trick or if it was all simply a coincidence.Dad,with a knowing smile,explained that Bubbles didn't actually possess the ability to solve math problems.In reality,he had trained her to respond to certain cues.When he posed a math question,he would subtly tap his foot a certain number of times,prompting Bubbles to bark the corresponding number.Despite the initial disappointment,I quickly perceived Dad's good intentions behind this loving trick,and realized it was my own effort and perseverance that led to my improvement in math.From that day on,my grades continued on an upward path.Bubbles couldn't add,subtract,multiply or divide,but she sure could teach. 解析： 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了萨里的竞技场所提供的一些活动以及注意事项。 2l.B细节理解题。根据第一段“Surrey's arenas are the place to learn to skate,play hockey(曲棍球)，五gure skate or just have fun at one of our family skating events.(萨里的竞技场是学习滑冰、打曲棍球、花样滑冰的地方，或者只是在我们的家庭滑冰活动中 享受乐趣)”可知，萨里的竞技场举办各种各样的滑冰活动。故选B。 22.B细节理解题。根据第五段Looking to book ice or dry floor time at your local arena?Email arenarentals(@surrey.ca with your request details and questions..Most are open for sign-up72 hours in advance.(想在你当地的竞技场预订冰冻或干燥地面时间吗？ 给arenarentals(@surrey..ca发电子邮件，说明与您的请求详细信息和问题。大多数都是提前72小时开放注册)”可知，当有人 想在你的竞技场预订干燥地面活动时，他应该提前预定。故选B。 23.A细节理解题。根据图片中“This list of full hockey equipment is REQUIRED for all of our Registered Hockey Programs(这个 完整的曲棍球设备列表是我们所有注册曲棍球项目所必需的)”并且图片中提到了hockey bag(冰球袋)，其他选项没有提及， 可知，当你注册冰球课程时，需要带冰球袋。故选A。 B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者为了保证两只老虎幼崽的存活，决定在家里全天候照顾它们。介绍了老虎在作者家 生活的情况以及作者照顾老虎的感受。 24.A细节理解题。根据第一段中“Globally,a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood,so I decided to give them round-he-clock care at home.(在全球范围内，动物园里三分之一的苏门答腊老虎幼崽活不到成年，所以我决定在家里全天 候照顾它们)”可知，作者把老虎幼崽带回家是为了确保他们的存活。故选A。 25.C词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“As they grew more mobile,.we let them move freely around the house during the day,but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room,otherwise they'd”(随着它们的话动越来越多，我们白天让它们在 房子里自由活动，但当我们睡觉时，我们必须把它们关在一个大房间里，否则它们会)以及后文“We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down,and left it looking like a zoo.”(我们早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八 糟，让它看起来像个动物园，)可知，作者不得不把老虎们关在一个大房间里，否则它们就会调皮捣蛋，表现不好。早上下 楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟，看起来像个动物园。故画线词意思是“表现不好”。故选C。 1 26.B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them.There were some tough times and Ijust felt extremely tired.(由于需要大量的精力来照顾它们，事情很快变得非常紧张。 有一段艰难的日子，我只是觉得非常累)”可推知，作者在家里饲养小老虎需要大量精力照顾它，这让作者感觉非常疲惫， 因此作者认为在家里养小老虎是累人的。故选B。 27.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When Spot and Stripe were four months old,they were learning how to open doors and jump fences,and we knew it really was time for them to go..(当Spot和Stripe四个月大的时候，他们正在学习如何开门和跳栅 栏，我们知道是时候让他们离开了)可知，作者决定把Spot和Sipe送回动物园是因为他们变得难以控制。故选D。 【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了滑铁卢大学研究人员正在开发的一种新技术，用于帮助糖尿病患者摆脱每天多次采血监 测血糖的痛苦。 28.B主旨大意题。根据第三段的The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it.Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning Al,developed by the researchers.(正在开发的系统使用无线电探测 设备将高频无线电波发送到含有不同水平葡萄糖的液体中，并接收被反射回来的无线电波。然后，反射波的信息被转换成数 字数据，供研究人员开发的机器学习人工智能进行分析。)”可知，这一段主要描述了系统的技术原理。故选B项。 29.A推理判断题。根据第五段The result was actually amazing,”says Shaker.“We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.”(“结果真的很惊人，"Shaker说。“我们已经证明，利用无线电探测系统检查血液来检测变化是可 能的。)”可知，Shaker的话表明了该无线电探测系统的可行性和实用性得到了证明。故选A项。 30.C细节理解题。根s据第六段Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin,.which makes the process more challenging.(接下来的步骤包括增强系统以精确量化血糖水平，并通过皮肤获得 结果，这使得该过程更具挑战性。)”可知，后续研究的重点是改进通过皮肤获取精确血糖水平的方法，即“优化基于皮肤的血 糖定量检测技术”。故选C项。 3l.C推理判断题。根据最后一段“T'm hoping we'll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,,”Shaker says. “There are challenges,,but the research has been going at a really good rate.."”(Shaker说：“我希望在未来五年内，我们能在市场上 看到可穿戴设备。虽然存在挑战，但研究一直在以非常好的速度进行。"”可知，Shaker对研究持认可的态度。故选C项。 D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过莎翁戏剧著名台词“Parting is such sweet sorrow'”引出对人际关系的讨论，阐述分离的痛苦 是衡量感情的尺度。 32.A推理判断题。根据第一段中“Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron..But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships..(甜蜜的悲伤是一种矛盾修辞法。但这种看似矛盾的现象在人际关系中却是真实存在的。)”可知，本句中sweet sorrow是一种矛盾的修辞方法。A选项中“deafening silence(震耳欲聋的沉默)”与题千中的“甜蜜的悲伤”一致，构成的是修辞 的方式是矛盾的修饰方式。故选A。 33.D推理判断题。根据第三段中“Separation,.even a temporary absence,from the people you have a deep emotional connection wit油can cause sorrow because you wi讪no longer be able to enjoy their company.(与你有深厚情感联系的人分离，即使是暂时的 缺席，都会带来悲伤，因为你将无法再享受他们的陪伴。)可知，分离是告别时悲伤的部分。故选D。 34.B推理判断题。根据第二段中Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment.

Three days after I arrived in London I got to know several British high school students.They told me a lot about their school life,but what interested me most is the gap year.At one time in Britain young people used to go straight from school to university.However, nowadays more and more students are choosing to take what is called a gap year.They have decided to do something completely different for a year before starting their university studies.Why are gap years so popular?Well,in the past everybody believed it was better for students to complete their studies without a break.These days,students know that if they take a gap year they will get experience and confidence.What's more,many university teachers and employers think it's a good idea too.Gap year students often study harder at university.The most popular thing to do is travel.Many students like to visit America,Canada,Japan,China and India, but the most popular country to visit is Australia.However,gap year travel is no holiday.Students usually have to find work to eam money to live on.Some students participate in volunteering work.Others find a job to get work experience and to earn a salary that helps to pay for their first year at university.
