Pakistani authorities said army commandos (突击队), with the help of civilians, made the final rescues after an operation lasting hours. Floodlights were installed and a ground-based operation reached the remaining two people late on Tuesday more than 12 hours after their cable car was damaged, leaving it hanging unsteadily at an angle. A helicopter had earlier plucked two children to safety before darkness. High winds meant the air rescue had to be called off. Rescuers used the cable keeping the cable car from plunging (突然向下冲) into the valley as a zip line to rescue three more children. Relatives of those trapped prayed while watching the operation and anxious crowds gathered on both sides of the valley, which is in a mountainous area of Battagram, about 125 miles (200km) north of Islamabad. Several military helicopters had earlier in the day flown sorties and an airman was lowered by a set of bands to deliver food, water and medicine. Commandos could be seen on local TV trying to lower themselves on ropes from the helicopters to the cable car. An expert confirmed that the rescue was delicate because the wind created by the helicopters’ blades could further weaken cables holding the car up in the sky. The children trapped were teenage boys studying at the government high school. The school is located in a mountainous area and there are no safe crossings, so it’s common to use the chairlift. People who live in the northern mountainous regions of Pakistan often use chairlifts for transport from one village to another. In 2017, 10 people were killed when a chairlift cable broke sending passengers plunging into a valley in a mountain hamlet near the capital, Islamabad. 24. How many people were saved 12 hours after cable car was trapped? A. Two. B. Three. C. Seven. D. Five. 25. How was the rescue conducted by army commandos and civilians? A. By cable car. B. By helicopter. C. By floodlights. D. By a zip line. 26. Why did the air rescue had to be called off? A. The weather condition was tough with heavy rain. B. The cable was left hanging at a dangerous angle. C. The air rescue staff were incompetent. D. The wind created by the helicopters’ blades is strong. 27. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To inform the underlying accident. B. To provide background information. C. To indicate the following settlement. D. To public the rescuing result. C Can Humor Help Teaching and Learning? For years teachers have tried ways of bringing humor into the classroom to keep kids engaged, and Mary Kay Morrison, the author of the book *Using Humor to Maximize Learning, says brain research shows that it’s a good idea. “It improves learning and strengthens memories by gaining students’ attention and then helps them absorb the information,” she says. She notes that students surveyed on the topic say teachers who use humor are much more effective at inspiring them, engaging them, reducing their anxiety, exciting their interest in learning and developing positive teacher-student relationships. Experts say, however, that it has to be carried out properly to be effective. “A classroom without learning is a failed one, but the atmosphere can be playful and even joyful,” says Sean O’Brien, an award-winning English teacher at West Ranch High School in Stevenson Ranch, CA., who has gained attention for his humor. “It probably shouldn’t be just any fun the way an amusement park is.” Morrison agrees but says it should be used often, and any teacher can try it. “It should be done intentionally (有意地) with thought, but all types of teachers can use humor effectively if they work at it.” She notes that humor gets students’ attention because it typically involves the unexpected, which “stimulates (刺激) the attention center of the brain” which, in turn, increases the likelihood of information recollection (回忆). Then, she says, humor actually activates more of the brain than many other activities in a classroom. So, a student who is just listening, for instance, is using one part of the brain but the humor will add to the stimulation. Morrison notes that it also has other, less obvious benefits — reducing stress for the teacher and the students, increasing creativity and energy in the classroom and creating and improving the atmosphere or culture. “Humor is a social lubricant (润滑剂),” she says. “It promotes trust, communication and goodwill, but must be done with thought and care.” 28. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Brain research. B. Using humor in teaching. C. Gaining students’ attention. D. A positive teacher-student relationship. 29. What does Sean O’Brien think about classroom humor? A. It shouldn’t be overdone. B. It makes the teacher popular. C. It shouldn’t be carried out in science class. D. It brings as much fun as an amusement park. 30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Tools to activate more of the brain. B. The importance of getting students’ attention. C. The way that humor increases effectiveness in study. D. The reason the attention center of the brain works. 31 Which statement will the author probably disagree with? A. Humor in the classroom helps to keep students involved. B. Humor should be done by teachers unintentionally. C. Humor can give more stimulation to students. D. Humor can promote trust, communication and goodwill. D Located at an altitude (海拔) of over 4,500 meters above sea level in Burang county of Ngari prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang autonomous region, Mapam Yumco Lake — also called Lake Manasarovar — holds two important titles: one of the world’s highest freshwater lakes and “Mother of Rivers”, as its waters feed the headwaters (上游源头) of the Ganges, Indus, Sutlej, and Yarlung Zangbo, supporting life beyond the Himalayas. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has devoted himself to guarding this precious ecosystem. A typical workday for Dradul begins with a 10-kilometer motorcycle patrol (巡逻) by mid-morning, following a fixed route around the lake. His bag is always stocked with essentials: binoculars (双筒望远镜) to scan for waterbirds, a notebook to record wildlife species, wildlife numbers, weather, and water levels, and garbage bags to collect rubbish. He also carries a “life-saving kit” — zanba, drinking water, a thick coat, a sun mask, and simple tools for helping injured animals. One notable rescue saw him and his colleagues, along with local officials, free a trapped wild Yak (牦牛); they tied ropes around its horns and pulled inch by inch; then they waited 30 minutes to ensure the animal could walk and eat grass again. Dradul is part of a 90- guardian team responsible for nearly 99,000 hectares of the wetland, about 69,000 hectares of it being the lake. Their work — patrolling, recording, rescuing animals, and reminding tourists not to throw rubbish everywhere or damage grasslands — has, increased biodiversity: the wetland now hosts 411 plant species and 157vertebrates (脊椎动物). For Dradul, this role is life- changing. Before 2014, he moved between unstable short- term jobs; now, he earns a regular 2,000 yuan monthly and feels proud to protect the lake. “It’s not just work,” he says. “It’s keeping the lake clean for my children and grandchildren.” Yet challenges continue: climate change melts (融化) glaciers and changes shorelines. Some tourists break rules, and remote areas can’t be patrolled daily. Dradul hopes for drones (无人机) to aid patrols and more young people to join. “With sincere hearts and hard work,” he says, “Mapam Yumco Lake will never grow old.” 32. Why is Mapam Yumco Lake called “Mother of Rivers”? A. It is the world’s highest freshwater lake. B. It supports biodiversity beyond the Himalayas. C. Its water supplies the headwaters of major rivers. D. It is guarded by a professional team of 90 people. 33. What does the underlined word “stocked” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Fixed. B. Equipped. C. Connected. D. Decorated. 34. How does Dradul view his role? A. As only a source of regular income. B. As a significant lifelong duty. C. As a challenging pressure. D. As a short-time job. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. A Lake in Xizang B. Dradul’s Daily Hobbies C. Challenges of Protecting Lakes D. High-altitude Tasks to Be Proud of 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。 Overcome Culture Shock in the Classroom Culture shock occurs in a classroom when students are exposed to a new situation.___36___.

So my mom was almost like a single mother. We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, where we had a big yard with plenty of room for our five dogs and two cats to run around. We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door. Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I was a chatter-box(喋喋不休). I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely and anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection. One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they'd watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat monthly occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn't have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became my room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. We were always putting tiny decorations on things. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to drive the lawn tractor(割草机)and eventually a car. When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spit it out, "What if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?" My parents said I could go over and ask them for myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The next day, I knocked on Bill and Arlene's door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 甘肃省华池县第一中学2025-2026学年度第一学期期末考试 高二英语 2026.1 注意事项： 1.本试卷分四部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；主观题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本试卷命题范围：选择性必修第一册Unit 3~选择性必修第三册Unit 7。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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】 How did the man probably get here?

W: Good for you. I have a friend from Switzerland who can speak three languages. Isn’t that amazing? She makes me want to challenge myself more. M: Learning a new language is always a good idea, but if you’re not going to use it, then what’s the point? W: I agree. That’s why I’ve asked the art teacher at school about how to start oil painting. M: It must be expensive. You need to buy all those colors to paint with. W: That’s what I thought, too, but you can mix most of the colors yourself. I only need to buy red, blue, yellow and white. M: Good. So, when can I see your first work of art? W: Well, I should have my supplies by Friday. I’ll show you a few the following week. You just have to promise me one thing. M: What’s that? W: Don’t laugh. 听下面一段独白，完成下面小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. When did Google come out with Google Home? A. In 2016. B. In 2015. C. In 2017. 18. How many songs does Google’s product have? A. 35 million. B. 2 million. C. 2.5 million. 19. Which product is aimed at young children? A. Amazon Echo. B. Google Home. C. Mattel’s Aristotle. 20. What is typical of the Mattel’s Aristotle? A. The lowest price. B. The earliest product. C. The best interaction. 【答案】17. A 18. A 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【原文】In 2014, Amazon released the world’s first voice-controlled smart assistant, called the Echo. It performed a variety of functions, including setting alarms, creating to-do lists, and providing real-time information such as weather, traffic and other news. Two years later, Google came out with the $180 Google Home. In 2017, the toy company Mattel came out with Aristotle, their idea of a personal assistant, aimed at kids. If you are in the market for one of these smart assistants, there are a number of things to consider. For instance, Google Home can answer a wide variety of questions and has a music library of 35 million songs. It also has many functions that work well with the TV, and is $50 cheaper than Amazon Echo. Echo can all be operated just by voice command. It has a music library of 2 million songs. Mattel’s Aristotle can do most of what the other two can, but is meant to be more of a personal companion to children. It can be used as a baby camera in your child’s early years, and still be useful until around middle school. It plays interactive games with them, reads to them, and serves as an instructional resource as the children grow up. In summary, all three have their benefits. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题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 Chicago Botanic Garden Events Whether you’re attending the hands-on workshop at the Midwest Fruit Explorers or admiring artfully arranged daffodils (水仙花) at the Midwest Daffodil Society Show, you’re bound to take home plenty of inspiration for your home garden as you enjoy the best shows at Chicago Botanic Garden.

Pakistani authorities said army commandos (突击队), with the help of civilians, made the final rescues after an operation lasting hours. Floodlights were installed and a ground-based operation reached the remaining two people late on Tuesday more than 12 hours after their cable car was damaged, leaving it hanging unsteadily at an angle. A helicopter had earlier plucked two children to safety before darkness. High winds meant the air rescue had to be called off. Rescuers used the cable keeping the cable car from plunging (突然向下冲) into the valley as a zip line to rescue three more children. Relatives of those trapped prayed while watching the operation and anxious crowds gathered on both sides of the valley, which is in a mountainous area of Battagram, about 125 miles (200km) north of Islamabad. Several military helicopters had earlier in the day flown sorties and an airman was lowered by a set of bands to deliver food, water and medicine. Commandos could be seen on local TV trying to lower themselves on ropes from the helicopters to the cable car. An expert confirmed that the rescue was delicate because the wind created by the helicopters’ blades could further weaken cables holding the car up in the sky. The children trapped were teenage boys studying at the government high school. The school is located in a mountainous area and there are no safe crossings, so it’s common to use the chairlift. People who live in the northern mountainous regions of Pakistan often use chairlifts for transport from one village to another. In 2017, 10 people were killed when a chairlift cable broke sending passengers plunging into a valley in a mountain hamlet near the capital, Islamabad. 24. How many people were saved 12 hours after cable car was trapped? A. Two. B. Three. C. Seven. D. Five. 25. How was the rescue conducted by army commandos and civilians? A. By cable car. B. By helicopter. C. By floodlights. D. By a zip line. 26. Why did the air rescue had to be called off? A. The weather condition was tough with heavy rain. B. The cable was left hanging at a dangerous angle. C. The air rescue staff were incompetent. D. The wind created by the helicopters’ blades is strong. 27. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To inform the underlying accident. B. To provide background information. C. To indicate the following settlement. D. To public the rescuing result. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章描述了巴基斯坦一偏远山谷高空中的缆车发生故障后，救援人员经过数小时的努力，成功救出被困的七人。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“All seven people have been rescued from a stricken cable car high above a remote Pakistan valley, a spokesman for the state-run emergency services said.(巴基斯坦国家紧急服务部门的一位发言人表示，在巴基斯坦偏远山谷上空，一辆受损的缆车已将7人全部救出)”可知，缆车受困12小时后，7人全部获救。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Pakistani authorities said army commandos (突击队), with the help of civilians, made the final rescues after an operation lasting hours.( 巴基斯坦当局表示，在长达数小时的行动后，军方突击队员在平民的帮助下完成了最后的救援工作)”以及第三段“A helicopter had earlier plucked two children to safety before darkness(此前，一架直升机在天黑前已将两名儿童安全救出)”可知，救援是由军方突击队员和平民使用直升机进行的。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A helicopter had earlier plucked two children to safety before darkness. High winds meant the air rescue had to be called off.( 此前，一架直升机在天黑前已将两名儿童安全救出。但由于风势太大，空中救援不得不中止)”以及倒数第二段“An expert confirmed that the rescue was delicate because the wind created by the helicopters’ blades could further weaken cables holding the car up in the sky.(一名专家证实，救援工作十分棘手，因为直升机螺旋桨产生的风可能会进一步削弱支撑缆车悬空的缆绳)”可知，救援因直升机螺旋桨产生的风可能会进一步削弱支撑缆车悬空的缆绳而取消。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The children trapped were teenage boys studying at the government high school. The school is located in a mountainous area and there are no safe crossings, so it’s common to use the chairlift. People who live in the northern mountainous regions of Pakistan often use chairlifts for transport from one village to another. (被困的孩子是就读于政府高中的十几岁男孩。学校位于山区，没有安全的过道，因此使用缆车很普遍。居住在巴基斯坦北部山区的人们经常使用缆车从一个村庄到另一个村庄进行交通往来)”可知，此处说的是有关事故的背景信息。由此推推知，最后一段的目的是提供背景信息。故选B项。 C Can Humor Help Teaching and Learning? For years teachers have tried ways of bringing humor into the classroom to keep kids engaged, and Mary Kay Morrison, the author of the book *Using Humor to Maximize Learning, says brain research shows that it’s a good idea. “It improves learning and strengthens memories by gaining students’ attention and then helps them absorb the information” she says. She notes that students surveyed on the topic say teachers who use humor are much more effective at inspiring them, engaging them, reducing their anxiety, exciting their interest in learning and developing positive teacher-student relationships. Experts say, however, that it has to be carried out properly to be effective. “A classroom without learning is a failed one, but the atmosphere can be playful and even joyful,” says Sean O’Brien, an award-winning English teacher at West Ranch High School in Stevenson Ranch, CA., who has gained attention for his humor. “It probably shouldn’t be just any fun the way an amusement park is.” Morrison agrees but says it should be used often, and any teacher can try it. “It should be done intentionally (有意地) with thought, but all types of teachers can use humor effectively if they work at it.” She notes that humor gets students’ attention because it typically involves the unexpected, which “stimulates (刺激) the attention center of the brain” which, in turn, increases the likelihood of information recollection (回忆). Then, she says, humor actually activates more of the brain than many other activities in a classroom. So, a student who is just listening, for instance, is using one part of the brain but the humor will add to the stimulation. Morrison notes that it also has other, less obvious benefits — reducing stress for the teacher and the students, increasing creativity and energy in the classroom and creating and improving the atmosphere or culture. “Humor is a social lubricant (润滑剂),” she says. “It promotes trust, communication and goodwill, but must be done with thought and care.” 28. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Brain research. B. Using humor in teaching. C. Gaining students’ attention. D. A positive teacher-student relationship. 29. What does Sean O’Brien think about classroom humor? A. It shouldn’t be overdone. B. It makes the teacher popular. C. It shouldn’t be carried out in science class. D. It brings as much fun as an amusement park. 30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Tools to activate more of the brain. B. The importance of getting students’ attention. C The way that humor increases effectiveness in study. D. The reason the attention center of the brain works. 31. Which statement will the author probably disagree with? A. Humor in the classroom helps to keep students involved. B. Humor should be done by teachers unintentionally. C. Humor can give more stimulation to students. D. Humor can promote trust, communication and goodwill. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幽默对教学和学习的帮助，以及如何正确使用幽默来提高教学效果。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“For years teachers have tried ways of bringing humor into the classroom to keep kids engaged, and Mary Kay Morrison, the author of the book *Using Humor to Maximize Learning, says brain research shows that it’s a good idea. (多年来，教师们一直在尝试将幽默带入课堂以保持孩子们的参与度，《利用幽默最大化学习》一书的作者Mary Kay Morrison说，大脑研究表明这是一个好主意)”以及第二段“It improves learning and strengthens memories by gaining students’ attention and then helps them absorb the information (它通过吸引学生的注意力来提高学习效果，增强记忆力，然后帮助他们吸收信息)”可知，划线词“It”指的是前文提到的“bringing humor into the classroom (将幽默带入课堂)”，也就是“Using humor in teaching (在教学中使用幽默)”。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Experts say, however, that it has to be carried out properly to be effective. “A classroom without learning is a failed one, but the atmosphere can be playful and even joyful,” says Sean O’Brien, an award-winning English teacher at West Ranch High School in Stevenson Ranch, CA., who has gained attention for his humor. “It probably shouldn’t be just any fun the way an amusement park is.”(然而，专家表示，必须正确执行才能有效。“没有学习的课堂是失败的，但气氛可以是有趣的，甚至是快乐的，”加利福尼亚州史蒂文森牧场西牧场高中屡获殊荣的英语老师Sean O’Brien说，他的幽默引起了人们的关注。“它也许不应该只是像游乐园那样的纯粹玩乐。”)”可知，Sean O’Brien认为幽默在课堂上不能过度使用，应该适度。故选A项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“She notes that humor gets students’ attention because it typically involves the unexpected, which “stimulates (刺激) the attention center of the brain” which, in turn, increases the likelihood of information recollection (回忆). Then, she says, humor actually activates more of the brain than many other activities in a classroom. So, a student who is just listening, for instance, is using one part of the brain but the humor will add to the stimulation. (她指出，幽默能吸引学生的注意力，因为它通常涉及意想不到的事情，这会“刺激大脑的注意力中心”，从而增加信息回忆的可能性。然后，她说，幽默实际上比课堂上的许多其他活动更能激活大脑。例如，一个只听的学生只使用大脑的一部分，但幽默会增加刺激)”可知，本段主要介绍了幽默是如何提高学习效果的。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Morrison agrees but says it should be used often, and any teacher can try it. “It should be done intentionally (有意地) with thought, but all types of teachers can use humor effectively if they work at it.” (Morrison对此表示赞同，但她说应该经常使用，任何老师都可以尝试。“这需要经过深思熟虑并有意为之，但任何类型的教师只要下功夫练习，都能有效地运用幽默。”)”可知，作者认为幽默应该是有意地、经过思考地使用，而不是老师无意中做出来的。故选B项。 D Located at an altitude (海拔) of over 4,500 meters above sea level in Burang county of Ngari prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang autonomous region, Mapam Yumco Lake — also called Lake Manasarovar — holds two important titles: one of the world’s highest freshwater lakes and “Mother of Rivers”, as its waters feed the headwaters (上游源头) of the Ganges, Indus, Sutlej, and Yarlung Zangbo, supporting life beyond the Himalayas. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has devoted himself to guarding this precious ecosystem. A typical workday for Dradul begins with a 10-kilometer motorcycle patrol (巡逻) by mid-morning, following a fixed route around the lake. His bag is always stocked with essentials: binoculars (双筒望远镜) to scan for waterbirds, a notebook to record wildlife species, wildlife numbers, weather, and water levels, and garbage bags to collect rubbish. He also carries a “life-saving kit” — zanba, drinking water, a thick coat, a sun mask, and simple tools for helping injured animals. One notable rescue saw him and his colleagues, along with local officials, free a trapped wild Yak (牦牛); they tied ropes around its horns and pulled inch by inch; then they waited 30 minutes to ensure the animal could walk and eat grass again. Dradul is part of a 90- guardian team responsible for nearly 99,000 hectares of the wetland, about 69,000 hectares of it being the lake. Their work — patrolling, recording, rescuing animals, and reminding tourists not to throw rubbish everywhere or damage grasslands — has, increased biodiversity: the wetland now hosts 411 plant species and 157vertebrates (脊椎动物). For Dradul, this role is life- changing. Before 2014, he moved between unstable short- term jobs; now, he earns a regular 2,000 yuan monthly and feels proud to protect the lake. “It’s not just work,” he says. “It’s keeping the lake clean for my children and grandchildren.” Yet challenges continue: climate change melts (融化) glaciers and changes shorelines. Some tourists break rules, and remote areas can’t be patrolled daily. Dradul hopes for drones (无人机) to aid patrols and more young people to join. “With sincere hearts and hard work,” he says, “Mapam Yumco Lake will never grow old.” 32. Why is Mapam Yumco Lake called “Mother of Rivers”? A. It is the world’s highest freshwater lake. B. It supports biodiversity beyond the Himalayas. C. Its water supplies the headwaters of major rivers. D. It is guarded by a professional team of 90 people. 33. What does the underlined word “stocked” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Fixed. B. Equipped. C. Connected. D. Decorated. 34. How does Dradul view his role? A. As only a source of regular income. B. As a significant lifelong duty. C. As a challenging pressure. D. As a short-time job. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. A Lake in Xizang B. Dradul’s Daily Hobbies C. Challenges of Protecting Lakes D. High-altitude Tasks to Be Proud of 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了位于中国西南部西藏自治区阿里地区普兰县海拔4500多米的玛旁雍错湖（又称玛纳斯鲁湖）的生态重要性，以及一位名叫Dradul的守护者如何致力于保护这一珍贵生态系统的工作和挑战。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mapam Yumco Lake — also called Lake Manasarovar — holds two important titles: one of the world’s highest freshwater lakes and “Mother of Rivers”, as its waters feed the headwaters (上游源头) of the Ganges, Indus, Sutlej, and Yarlung Zangbo, supporting life beyond the Himalayas. (玛旁雍错湖——又称玛纳斯鲁湖——拥有两个重要的称号：世界上海拔最高的淡水湖之一和“万河之母”，因为它的水滋养了恒河、印度河、萨特莱杰河和雅鲁藏布江的源头，支撑着喜马拉雅山脉以外的生命。)”可知，玛旁雍错湖被称为“万河之母”是因为它的水滋养了多条主要河流的源头。故选C项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“His bag is always stocked with essentials: binoculars (双筒望远镜) to scan for waterbirds, a notebook to record wildlife species, wildlife numbers, weather, and water levels, and garbage bags to collect rubbish. (他的包里总是stocked必需品：用于观察水鸟的双筒望远镜、记录野生动物种类、数量、天气和水位的笔记本，以及收集垃圾的垃圾袋。)”可知，他的包里总是装着必需品，所以stocked意为“装备，装着”。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For Dradul, this role is life-changing. Before 2014, he moved between unstable short-term jobs; now, he earns a regular 2,000 yuan monthly and feels proud to protect the lake. “It’s not just work,” he says. “It’s keeping the lake clean for my children and grandchildren.” (对Dradul来说，这个角色改变了他的生活。2014年之前，他在不稳定的工作之间转换；现在，他每月有固定的2000元收入，并为保护这个湖感到自豪。“这不仅仅是工作，”他说。“这是为了我的子孙后代保持湖泊的清洁。”)”可知，Dradul认为他的角色是一个重要的终身职责。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has devoted himself to guarding this precious ecosystem. (十多年来，42岁的Dradul一直致力于守护这个珍贵的生态系统。)”以及纵观全文可知，全文核心围绕“高海拔湖泊玛旁雍错的守护者工作”展开，既介绍了德拉杜尔等守护者在高海拔环境下的具体任务(巡逻、记录、救助等)，也强调了这份工作的意义(守护生态、传承未来)与价值。D选项“High-altitude Tasks to Be Proud of(值得骄傲的高海拔任务)”既点明了工作的“高海拔”场景，也体现了工作的价值感，能概括全文主旨。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。 Overcome Culture Shock in the Classroom Culture shock occurs in a classroom when students are exposed to a new situation.___36___.

So my mom was almost like a single mother. We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, where we had a big yard with plenty of room for our five dogs and two cats to run around. We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door. Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I was a chatter-box(喋喋不休). I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely and anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection. One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they'd watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat monthly occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn't have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became my room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. We were always putting tiny decorations on things. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to drive the lawn tractor(割草机)and eventually a car. When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spit it out, "What if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?" My parents said I could go over and ask them for myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The next day, I knocked on Bill and Arlene's door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next day, I knocked on Bill and Arlene's door. In an instant, they opened the door. I sat down in his living room, and asked, Can I adopt you as my grandpa?” Bill was first a bit confused by my strange question, but then he agreed happily. He hugged me with tears sparkling in his misty eyes. Just as Bill previously said it took a certificate to prove an important thing, we both signed the adoption certificate. At that time, I felt my connection with them strengthened. After hanging the certificate on the wall, Bill promised to teach me to drive the lawn tractor the next morning and I was really expecting the time to come. That night, I even couldn’t fall asleep. From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. The next morning, while learning to drive the lawn tractor with a snowplow, I accidentally plowed down our chainlink fence. I was frightened and tried to drive back the lawn tractor but it just didn’t work. “Easy, easy.” comforted Bob. He helped me move off the big machine. “Now it seemed that you did make the hole bigger.” joked my new grandpa. My parents went out at that time on hearing the big noise. They were shocked at first, but to my big surprise, my mom suggested,“Why not remove the fence so that you could play with your grandpa more conveniently !” All of us agreed. Now, with two gardens connected, we would never feel lonely again. How important love was! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了搬家后遇到的邻居是一对和蔼可亲的老夫妻，他们对作者亲切有耐心。作者得知他们膝下无子，便萌生了做他们的孙子的想法。告诉这对夫妻后，他们很是高兴，也非常愿意。后来他们铁丝网篱笆被挖倒，更加加深了作者与两位老人之间的联系，促进了他们弥足珍贵的友情，就像是真正的一家人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我敲了比尔和阿琳的门。”可知，第一段可描写作者去比尔和阿琳家里请求认他们作祖父母。 ②由第二段首句内容“从我收养他们的那天起，我就称呼比尔和阿琳爷爷奶奶。”可知，第二段可描写作者认他们为爷爷奶奶之后发生的事情以及作者的收获和感悟。 2.续写线索：请求——高兴——答应——挖倒篱笆——增进感情——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②期待：expect/look forward to ③拆除：remove /pull down 情绪类 ①.困惑的： confused /puzzled ②.高兴地：happily/joyfully 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
