There are plenty of choices when it comes to following a light path as part of your Christmas celebrations. Oxford Street Oxford Street’s festive lights are a treat for the eyes this year. However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights—which we returned on at the start of November—are only on for eight hours a day this year, from 3-11 pm, in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing. It is expected this will reduce energy usage by up to two thirds compared to previous years, when the lights have been on for 24 hours through November and December. Kew Garden One of the most famous light paths of the season, Christmas at Kew offers a full-on festive experience with over 2 km of lights to walk through. Along the way you’ll have the chance to sample festive food and drink, and possibly even say hello to Santa himself. Regent Street Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. The lights, which cover Regent Street and the St James neighbourhoods, were turned on on November 9, and like the Oxford St lights are turned on between 3 and 11 pm. Covent Garden A visit to Covent Garden will certainly get you in the festive spirit this year, with the central London destination offering a whole lot of lights—from 11 am until midnight every day until January 3. Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine—with over 40 different varieties there. 21. Why are Oxford Street’s festive lights just on for 8 hours a day this year? A. The public ask to turn off these lights. B. The quality of these lights is not good. C. The government wants to save energy D. The country expects to differ from previous years. 22. In which place do the lights mainly focus on The Spirit Of Christmas? A. Oxford Street. B. Kew Gardens. C. Regent Street. D. Covent Garden. 23. What can visitors do when visiting Covent Garden? A. Take a shower. B. See snow every day. C. Pick out the favourite lights. D. Enjoy many different kinds of wines. B For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻的) feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official” fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its attraction. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong desires and even felt a bit down at times. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a small part of the author’s diet. B. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. C. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 25. What caused the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. 26. What makes fried chicken appealing? A. Its low price and availability. B. Its cultural popularity and advertising. C. Its fat content and spice mix. D. Its cooking methods and appearance. 27. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Uncertain. B. Confused. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. C Gestures are older than spoken language and they support our words. Imagine life without being able to point. We do it all the time — in a pastry shop, to signal that you want the croissant without the burnt edges, or to indicate to your host at a dinner party how much wine you want. Think about the forefinger raised over your thumb. A larger gap indicates more wine. Some gestures have a rich history and have lasted a long time. But in a sign of the times, for younger people, and specifically Generation Z, some of our most well-known hand gestures have changed. Common hand signals, such as writing in the air to get the bill in a restaurant, or the tap on the arm to ask the time, are at risk of dying out. Contactless payment systems and electronic billing systems have made checkbooks unnecessary, and many young people increasingly use their cell phones, rather than a watch, to tell the time. Consider the UK. As of 2024 research shows that 99% of young people between the ages of 16 and 24 own a smartphone. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the hand signal for the “old-fashioned” landline phone is becoming unusual, since gestures that are specific to particular devices are likely to only be recognized by those who are familiar with such devices. In a TikTok video, New Yorker Daniel Alvarado commented, “This is how you know you’re getting old.” He showed how his children, when asked to gesture “phone me”, instead of holding a hand to their ear with their little finger and thumb stretched, each child held a flat palm to the side of their face to indicate a cell or mobile phone. Our technological innovations will influence what remains and what dies in terms of our most common hand gestures. Like a flowing river, into which no one can step twice, history moves on, too. And like our language, our gestures change too, a reflection of the signs of our times. 28. What does the author imply by introducing daily communication with gestures? A. The limitations of language. B. The helpful role of gestures. C. The cultural origins of gestures. D. The significance of proper behavior. 29. What does the video of Daniel Alvarado mainly show? A. Children are more open to new things. B. Some gestures are difficult to remember. C. Some gestures are generationally specific. D. Children are overdependent on smartphones. 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Technological progress has no end. B. The variation of gestures is unavoidable. C. Older gestures carry more cultural values. D. Human development is full of ups and downs. 31. What is a suitable title of the text? A. Technology is changing our gestures B Hand gestures are winning new users C. Gestures reflect characteristics of society D. Technology reshapes our communication methods D If your teacher assigns you a project, you may break it down into workable steps and start it right away. Now imagine that your teacher has assigned you to work with 10 other students. Instead of taking responsibility for certain tasks, you might assume another group member will take care of them. The other members of the group may assume the same, and you end up getting stuck with the entire assignment. This phenomenon called social loafing (社会惰化) describes the tendency of individuals to put forth less effort when they are part of a group. One of the first experiments in social loafing was conducted in 1913 by a French agricultural engineer, Max Ringelmann. Participants were asked to pull on a rope both alone and in groups. He found that when being part of a group, people made less of an effort than when working individually. Researchers continue to learn more about it, including whether certain factors can influence a person’s level of effort when in a group. In a 2005 study, half of the groups consisted of four people while the other half consisted of eight. Researchers found that people exerted greater individual effort when they were in smaller groups. While a team was high in responsibility and unity, members tended to make up for social loafing, resulting in greater team performance. Now that we understand what social loafing is, we can study how to prevent or reduce it. It is important to break down large groups into smaller teams. As when people work in a large group, they are more likely to avoid contributing. It is also essential for everyone in the team to feel that their work is valued. Since when their efforts are appreciated and recognized, it can have a positive impact on the team. 32. Why are two cases mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To compare the results of different tasks. B. To stress the importance of teamwork. C. To explain social loafing through real life. D. To call for fair assignment of tasks. 33. What is the nature of social loafing? A. The desire to get help from others. B. The act of not caring about team performance. C. The strategy of saving personal energy. D. The trend to put in less effort as a group member. 34. What might be the possible reason for social loafing? A. Lack of high-achievers. B. Absence of good atmosphere. C. Inability to finish tasks alone. D. Shortage of personal responsibility. 35. How can leaders reduce team members’ social loafing? A. Monitor the completion of their tasks. B. Admire their achievements. C. Give them the most feedback. D. Encourage them to work together. 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。 Every autumn, as the northern temperature drops, many birds head south to warmer climates. ___36___ Not necessarily. It is because the food that many birds need become scarce in the winter as the amount of sunlight diminishes and plants finish their life cycle. This food shortage signals to birds that it’s time to head south for new resources of food. If you’ve ever watched birds flying south for the winter, you may have noticed that none of them appear to be carrying a map, compasses or Global Positioning System (GPS) device. ___37___ Even more astonishing, they will fly back to the north again in the following season. So how do they make it? ___38___The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Birds flying south for the winter can stay on track by identifying the Sun’s position throughout the day. Of course, once the Sun sets, it isn’t much help as a guide. Luckily, many birds can also navigate(导航) by the position of the stars once night falls. Birds also enjoy the advantage of a bird’s eye view. Human lost in the woods sometimes must climb to higher ground to search for landmarks, like roads or coastlines, to determine their direction. ___39___ Sometimes heading south is as simple as following the path of a river that flows south. Finally, experts think some birds may also get guidance from Earth ’s magnetic field (磁场). Certain species of birds have a special magnetic mineral in their beaks—and experts believe this mineral may help them detect Earth’s magnetic field. ___40___ A. Does the cold drive this migration? B. One thing birds rely upon is the Sun. C. Can birds easily handle long flights? D. Birds just fly up into the sky to see everything below. E. Yet they somehow find their way south to winter homes. F. The migration process requires a great deal of energy. G. Then these smart creatures can use it to guide them so accurately. 第三部分完形填空(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。 Twenty years ago, I was heartbroken after losing my dear rescue dog Blondie, my loyal companion who had stood by me during the ___41___ years of dating and heartbreak.

While we were boarding the bus and waving goodbye to them, my parents asked me to be safe. “Be careful when you ride in the hills. Pay special attention to cars and the mountain slopes (斜坡). Once you fall off the slope, your bones may be broken,” my mother said. I smiled and nodded. Our bus started. Half an hour later, we reached our destination: We each rented a mountain bike from a bike store there and paid the rent. When the store owner handed us the bikes, he asked us to take care, and we all replied, “Sure, sir.” Then we cheerfully set off. The road was in good condition, the air was fresh, the flowers on the mountain slopes were pretty, and the birds were singing. We avoided every car on the road and happily moved ahead, enjoying the beautiful woods. Halfway, we stopped for a while to look at the map. When we continued cycling, I said to my best friend Dylan, “How about having a race? Let’s see who can ride faster!” “Sure. Let’s do it,” Dylan agreed excitedly. Then we began to compete on the mountain road. I completely forgot my parents’ warning. Dylan and I rode on the road as fast as we could, without realizing the possible dangers waiting for us. Our friends repeatedly shouted at us, “Wait, Dylan and Tom! Slow down! Don’t ride that fast! Stop racing!” However, we both turned a deaf ear to their warnings. I rode just a little faster than Dylan, and he rode crazily, trying his best to catch up with me. Finally, I arrived at the terminal (终点站) we had set first. “Woohoo! I’ve won!” I shouted proudly. When I looked back, however, Dylan was nowhere to be seen. A moment later, he still didn’t appear, which made me feel strange. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: It was then that I realized something was wrong. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: On closer examination, we found Dylan lying on a nearby road, injured. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 桦南一中2025-2026学年度第一学期期末考试 高二英语试卷 本试卷分第I卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分 第I卷(选择题共95分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How does the man respond to the woman’s suggestion?

She made pots and plates. C. She took a walk to a lake. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】W: Yesterday, I went to a place called Sidelli with my family. It was really interesting. In the morning, we visited a theater. It was built 2,000 years ago beside the sea and people used to watch plays there in the open air. There used to be an old fishing village nearby. After that, we had a guided tour. Rather than go to the old palace, which is full of tourists, our guide took us up a hill and showed us around what’s left of a library. Most of it had fallen down, but it still had a fantastic atmosphere. We then took a bus into the countryside for lunch, and we ate next to a waterfall. Afterwards, we took a walk from there to a lake. In the afternoon, we chose to go on one of two different factory tours. One factory made pots and plates, which sounded dull to me, and one produced carpets. That was the one we went on. There were lots of traditional designs, all made by local people. It was amazing. That was the last thing we did that day. 第二部分阅读理解(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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Christmas is coming, and it is time to warm yourself and head out to see some festive lights. There are plenty of choices when it comes to following a light path as part of your Christmas celebrations. Oxford Street Oxford Street’s festive lights are a treat for the eyes this year. However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights—which we returned on at the start of November—are only on for eight hours a day this year, from 3-11 pm, in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing. It is expected this will reduce energy usage by up to two thirds compared to previous years, when the lights have been on for 24 hours through November and December. Kew Garden One of the most famous light paths of the season, Christmas at Kew offers a full-on festive experience with over 2 km of lights to walk through. Along the way you’ll have the chance to sample festive food and drink, and possibly even say hello to Santa himself. Regent Street Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. The lights, which cover Regent Street and the St James neighbourhoods, were turned on on November 9, and like the Oxford St lights are turned on between 3 and 11 pm. Covent Garden A visit to Covent Garden will certainly get you in the festive spirit this year, with the central London destination offering a whole lot of lights—from 11 am until midnight every day until January 3. Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine—with over 40 different varieties there. 21. Why are Oxford Street’s festive lights just on for 8 hours a day this year? A. The public ask to turn off these lights. B. The quality of these lights is not good. C. The government wants to save energy D. The country expects to differ from previous years. 22. In which place do the lights mainly focus on The Spirit Of Christmas? A. Oxford Street. B. Kew Gardens. C. Regent Street. D. Covent Garden. 23 What can visitors do when visiting Covent Garden? A. Take a shower. B. See snow every day. C. Pick out the favourite lights. D. Enjoy many different kinds of wines. 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个可以观看圣诞节节日彩灯的地方。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Oxford Street”部分关键句“However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights—which we returned on at the start of November—are only on for eight hours a day this year, from 3-11 pm, in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing.”（然而，你必须仔细选择你的欣赏时间，由于国家面临能源成本不断上涨，我们在11月初重新开启的灯，今年每天只开8小时，从下午3点到11点。）可知，由于能源成本不断上涨，今年的灯每天只开8小时，由此可知，今年牛津大街的节日灯每天只亮8小时，因为政府想要节约能源。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Regent Street”部分关键句“Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street.”（摄政街灯光以今年的圣诞精神为主题，为购物街带来金色天使。）可知，摄政街的灯光以今年的圣诞精神为主题，由此可知，在摄政街，灯光主要集中在圣诞精神上。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Covent Garden”部分关键句“Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine—with over 40 different varieties there.”（游客还可以在那里享受每天的阵雪，以及节日食品和40多种不同品种的热葡萄酒。）可知，游客可以在这里享受到40多种不同品种的热葡萄酒，由此可知，游客参观科文特花园时可以享受多种不同种类的葡萄酒。故选D项。 B For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻的) feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official” fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its attraction. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong desires and even felt a bit down at times. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a small part of the author’s diet. B. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. C. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 25. What caused the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. 26. What makes fried chicken appealing? A. Its low price and availability. B. Its cultural popularity and advertising. C. Its fat content and spice mix. D. Its cooking methods and appearance. 27. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Uncertain. B. Confused. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因健康问题决定戒掉长期喜爱的炸鸡。作者通过分析炸鸡的成瘾性，分享了自己戒掉习惯的过程和感受，最终体会到战胜困难后的成就感。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. (二十多年来，炸鸡一直是我最喜欢的食物。我每周至少要吃三次，不管是在快餐店、当地餐馆，甚至是在家里做的。我计划我的外出活动都围绕着有美味炸鸡的地方。)”可知，作者对炸鸡有着深厚且持久的喜爱。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻的) feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough.(我开始经常感到胃痛和消化不良。医生无法直接将这些问题与炸鸡联系起来，但我注意到每次吃炸鸡时，我的不适感都会加重。此外，我开始意识到，曾经令人垂涎的气味和味道现在在我的嘴里留下了一种我无法忽视的沉重、油腻的感觉。一天晚上，吃完一大桶炸鸡后，我感到非常恶心，整晚都睡不好。那是转折点。我决定够了就是够了。)”可知，健康问题和吃炸鸡后的不适感使作者决定放弃炸鸡。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. (来自营养研究中心的约翰逊博士提到了两个关键原因：高脂肪含量和香料的组合。高脂肪含量使大脑释放“快乐化学物质”(内啡肽)，使我们感觉良好，而独特的香料刺激我们的味蕾，使我们想要更多。)”可知，炸鸡的吸引力主要来自于其高脂肪含量和香料的组合。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. (但随着日子一天天过去，我开始感觉好多了。我的胃问题变得不那么频繁了，我甚至注意到我有更多的精力。我为自己打破了这个长期的习惯而感到非常自豪。)”可知，作者放弃炸鸡之后，感觉好多了，胃的问题也不频繁了，同时更有精神，由此而感到自豪即对自己放弃炸鸡感到满意。C选项“Satisfied (感到满意的)”符合题意。故选C。 C Gestures are older than spoken language and they support our words. Imagine life without being able to point. We do it all the time — in a pastry shop, to signal that you want the croissant without the burnt edges, or to indicate to your host at a dinner party how much wine you want. Think about the forefinger raised over your thumb. A larger gap indicates more wine. Some gestures have a rich history and have lasted a long time. But in a sign of the times, for younger people, and specifically Generation Z, some of our most well-known hand gestures have changed. Common hand signals, such as writing in the air to get the bill in a restaurant, or the tap on the arm to ask the time, are at risk of dying out. Contactless payment systems and electronic billing systems have made checkbooks unnecessary, and many young people increasingly use their cell phones, rather than a watch, to tell the time. Consider the UK. As of 2024, research shows that 99% of young people between the ages of 16 and 24 own a smartphone. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the hand signal for the “old-fashioned” landline phone is becoming unusual, since gestures that are specific to particular devices are likely to only be recognized by those who are familiar with such devices. In a TikTok video, New Yorker Daniel Alvarado commented, “This is how you know you’re getting old.” He showed how his children, when asked to gesture “phone me”, instead of holding a hand to their ear with their little finger and thumb stretched, each child held a flat palm to the side of their face to indicate a cell or mobile phone. Our technological innovations will influence what remains and what dies in terms of our most common hand gestures. Like a flowing river, into which no one can step twice, history moves on, too. And like our language, our gestures change too, a reflection of the signs of our times. 28. What does the author imply by introducing daily communication with gestures? A. The limitations of language. B. The helpful role of gestures. C. The cultural origins of gestures. D. The significance of proper behavior. 29. What does the video of Daniel Alvarado mainly show? A. Children are more open to new things. B. Some gestures are difficult to remember. C. Some gestures are generationally specific. D. Children are overdependent on smartphones. 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Technological progress has no end. B. The variation of gestures is unavoidable. C. Older gestures carry more cultural values. D. Human development is full of ups and downs. 31. What is a suitable title of the text? A. Technology is changing our gestures B. Hand gestures are winning new users C. Gestures reflect characteristics of society D. Technology reshapes our communication methods 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍手势的重要作用，以及随着科技发展和时代变迁，一些传统手势逐渐被新手势取代，体现了手势的演变特性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Gestures are older than spoken language and they support our words. Imagine life without being able to point. We do it all the time — in a pastry shop, to signal that you want the croissant without the burnt edges, or to indicate to your host at a dinner party how much wine you want. Think about the forefinger raised over your thumb. A larger gap indicates more wine.(手势比口语更古老，它们能辅助我们的语言表达。想象一下不能用手指指点点的生活。我们一直在这样做——在糕点店，示意你想要没有烤焦边缘的牛角包；或者在晚宴上，向主人示意你想要多少酒。想想食指举过拇指的手势，间隙越大表示想要的酒越多。)”可知，作者通过列举糕点店点餐、晚宴示意酒量等日常手势交流场景，说明手势在生活中能辅助语言、传递信息，暗示了手势的有益作用。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In a TikTok video, New Yorker Daniel Alvarado commented, “This is how you know you’re getting old.” He showed how his children, when asked to gesture “phone me”, instead of holding a hand to their ear with their little finger and thumb stretched, each child held a flat palm to the side of their face to indicate a cell or mobile phone.(在一段TikTok视频中，纽约人丹尼尔·阿尔瓦拉多评论道：“这就是你知道自己在变老的原因。”他展示了当被要求做出“给我打电话”的手势时，他的孩子们并没有伸出小指和拇指、将手举到耳边，而是每人将平摊的手掌放在脸侧，示意手机。)”可知，视频中老一辈的“固定电话手势”与孩子们的“手机手势”形成对比，主要表明一些手势具有代际特异性，不同年代的人因熟悉的设备不同而使用不同手势。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our technological innovations will influence what remains and what dies in terms of our most common hand gestures. Like a flowing river, into which no one can step twice, history moves on, too. And like our language, our gestures change too, a reflection of the signs of our times.(我们的技术革新将影响我们最常用的手势中哪些会保留、哪些会消失。就像一条奔流不息的河流，没有人能两次踏入同一条河，历史也在不断前进。而像我们的语言一样，我们的手势也在变化，这是我们时代特征的反映。)”可知，作者将历史和手势的变化比作不可重复的河流，说明手势会随着技术和时代发展而变化，这种变化是不可避免的。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Contactless payment systems and electronic billing systems have made checkbooks unnecessary, and many young people increasingly use their cell phones, rather than a watch, to tell the time.(非接触式支付系统和电子账单系统使支票簿变得多余，许多年轻人越来越多地使用手机而不是手表来查看时间。)”以及最后一段中的“Our technological innovations will influence what remains and what dies in terms of our most common hand gestures.(我们的技术革新将影响我们最常用的手势中哪些会保留、哪些会消失。)”可知，文章核心围绕科技发展对传统手势的影响，以及新手势的出现展开，因此“科技正在改变我们的手势”是合适的标题。故选A项。 D If your teacher assigns you a project, you may break it down into workable steps and start it right away. Now imagine that your teacher has assigned you to work with 10 other students. Instead of taking responsibility for certain tasks, you might assume another group member will take care of them. The other members of the group may assume the same, and you end up getting stuck with the entire assignment. This phenomenon called social loafing (社会惰化) describes the tendency of individuals to put forth less effort when they are part of a group. One of the first experiments in social loafing was conducted in 1913 by a French agricultural engineer, Max Ringelmann. Participants were asked to pull on a rope both alone and in groups. He found that when being part of a group, people made less of an effort than when working individually. Researchers continue to learn more about it, including whether certain factors can influence a person’s level of effort when in a group. In a 2005 study, half of the groups consisted of four people while the other half consisted of eight. Researchers found that people exerted greater individual effort when they were in smaller groups. While a team was high in responsibility and unity, members tended to make up for social loafing, resulting in greater team performance. Now that we understand what social loafing is, we can study how to prevent or reduce it. It is important to break down large groups into smaller teams. As when people work in a large group, they are more likely to avoid contributing. It is also essential for everyone in the team to feel that their work is valued. Since when their efforts are appreciated and recognized, it can have a positive impact on the team. 32. Why are two cases mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To compare the results of different tasks. B. To stress the importance of teamwork. C. To explain social loafing through real life. D. To call for fair assignment of tasks. 33. What is the nature of social loafing? A. The desire to get help from others. B. The act of not caring about team performance. C. The strategy of saving personal energy. D. The trend to put in less effort as a group member. 34. What might be the possible reason for social loafing? A. Lack of high-achievers. B. Absence of good atmosphere. C. Inability to finish tasks alone. D. Shortage of personal responsibility. 35. How can leaders reduce team members’ social loafing? A. Monitor the completion of their tasks. B. Admire their achievements. C. Give them the most feedback. D. Encourage them to work together. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍社会惰化这一现象的定义、相关实验研究，以及预防和减少该现象的有效方法。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If your teacher assigns you a project, you may break it down into workable steps and start it right away. Now imagine that your teacher has assigned you to work with 10 other students. Instead of taking responsibility for certain tasks, you might assume another group member will take care of them. The other members of the group may assume the same, and you end up getting stuck with the entire assignment. (如果老师给你布置了一个项目，你可能会把它分解成可行的步骤，然后马上开始做。现在想象一下，老师让你和另外10名同学一起完成这个项目。你可能不会主动承担某些任务，而是认为其他组员会去做。小组里的其他成员也可能这么想，最终你（自己）不得不独自承担整个任务。)”以及第二段中的“This phenomenon called social loafing describes the tendency of individuals to put forth less effort when they are part of a group. (这种现象被称为社会惰化，指的是个体在群体中时会倾向于付出更少努力的趋势。)”可知，作者在第一段列举两个场景是为了通过生活实例引出并解释社会惰化现象。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This phenomenon called social loafing describes the tendency of individuals to put forth less effort when they are part of a group. (这种现象被称为社会惰化，指的是个体在群体中时会倾向于付出更少努力的趋势。)”可知，社会惰化的本质是个体作为群体一员时倾向于减少自身努力的趋势。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Instead of taking responsibility for certain tasks, you might assume another group member will take care of them. (你可能不会主动承担某些任务，而是认为其他组员会去做。)”以及第三段中的“While a team was high in responsibility and unity, members tended to make up for social loafing, resulting in greater team performance. (当一个团队具有高度的责任感和凝聚力时，成员们往往会弥补社会惰化带来的影响，从而提升团队整体表现。)”可知，社会惰化产生的可能原因是个体缺乏责任感，总指望他人承担任务。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It is also essential for everyone in the team to feel that their work is valued. Since when their efforts are appreciated and recognized, it can have a positive impact on the team. (让团队中的每个人都觉得自己的工作是有价值的，这一点也至关重要。因为当他们的努力得到赞赏和认可时，会对团队产生积极的影响。)”可知，领导者可以通过赞赏成员的成果来减少社会惰化现象。故选B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。 Every autumn, as the northern temperature drops, many birds head south to warmer climates. ___36___ Not necessarily. It is because the food that many birds need become scarce in the winter as the amount of sunlight diminishes and plants finish their life cycle. This food shortage signals to birds that it’s time to head south for new resources of food. If you’ve ever watched birds flying south for the winter, you may have noticed that none of them appear to be carrying a map, compasses or Global Positioning System (GPS) device. ___37___ Even more astonishing, they will fly back to the north again in the following season. So how do they make it? ___38___The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Birds flying south for the winter can stay on track by identifying the Sun’s position throughout the day. Of course, once the Sun sets, it isn’t much help as a guide. Luckily, many birds can also navigate(导航) by the position of the stars once night falls. Birds also enjoy the advantage of a bird’s eye view. Human lost in the woods sometimes must climb to higher ground to search for landmarks, like roads or coastlines, to determine their direction. ___39___ Sometimes heading south is as simple as following the path of a river that flows south. Finally, experts think some birds may also get guidance from Earth ’s magnetic field (磁场). Certain species of birds have a special magnetic mineral in their beaks—and experts believe this mineral may help them detect Earth’s magnetic field. ___40___ A. Does the cold drive this migration? B. One thing birds rely upon is the Sun. C. Can birds easily handle long flights? D. Birds just fly up into the sky to see everything below. E. Yet they somehow find their way south to winter homes. F. The migration process requires a great deal of energy. G. Then these smart creatures can use it to guide them so accurately. 【答案】36. A 37. E 38. B 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了鸟类秋季南迁的原因并非寒冷，而是食物短缺，并介绍了鸟类在迁徙过程中利用太阳、星星、地貌特征以及地球磁场进行导航的多种方式。 【36题详解】 上文“Every autumn, as the northern temperature drops, many birds head south to warmer climates. (每年秋天，随着北部气温下降，许多鸟类会飞往南方更温暖的气候)”描述了鸟类南迁的现象。A选项“Does the cold drive this migration? (寒冷驱使了这次迁徙吗?)”以问句形式承接上文现象，引出对迁徙原因的探讨。下文“Not necessarily. It is because the food that many birds need become scarce in the winter as the amount of sunlight diminishes and plants finish their life cycle. (不一定。这是因为随着日照量减少和植物完成生命周期，许多鸟类所需的食物在冬季变得稀缺)”则直接回应这一问题，指出真正原因是食物短缺而非寒冷，形成“现象—提问—回答”的逻辑链。故选A项。 【37题详解】 上文“If you’ve ever watched birds flying south for the winter, you may have noticed that none of them appear to be carrying a map, compasses or Global Positioning System (GPS) device. (如果你曾观察过鸟类南迁过冬，你可能注意到它们似乎都没有携带地图、指南针或全球定位系统设备)”指出鸟类没有携带任何导航工具。E选项“Yet they somehow find their way south to winter homes. (然而它们总能找到南方的越冬家园)”承接上文，用“Yet”与“没有导航工具”形成转折，强调鸟类仍能准确找到目的地。下文“Even more astonishing, they will fly back to the north again in the following season. (更令人惊讶的是，它们还会在下一个季节飞回北方)”则进一步补充鸟类返航的事实，与E选项共同构成对鸟类导航能力的惊叹，并自然引出下文“它们是如何做到的”这一问题。故选E项。 【38题详解】 下文“The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Birds flying south for the winter can stay on track by identifying the Sun’s position throughout the day. (太阳东升西落。南迁过冬的鸟类可以通过识别太阳一天中的位置来保持航向)”具体阐述了鸟类利用太阳进行导航的方式。B选项“One thing birds rely upon is the Sun. (鸟类依赖的一样东西是太阳)”作为本段首句，精准概括了下文的核心内容，起到总领全段的作用。故选B项。 【39题详解】 上文“Human lost in the woods sometimes must climb to higher ground to search for landmarks, like roads or coastlines, to determine their direction. (在森林中迷路的人有时必须爬到更高的地方寻找地标，如道路或海岸线，以确定方向)”以人类寻找地标作类比，突出人类需要费力攀爬才能获得视野。D选项“Birds just fly up into the sky to see everything below. (鸟类只需飞上天空就能看到下方的一切)”承接上文，用“just”与人类的费力攀爬形成鲜明对比，点明鸟类拥有得天独厚的空中视野。下文“Sometimes heading south is as simple as following the path of a river that flows south. (有时向南迁徙就像沿着一条向南流淌的河流前行一样简单)”则在此基础上，说明鸟类如何利用这一视野优势——通过观察河流等地标进行导航，形成“优势—应用”的逻辑关系。故选D项。故选D项。 【40题详解】 上文“Certain species of birds have a special magnetic mineral in their beaks—and experts believe this mineral may help them detect Earth’s magnetic field. (某些鸟类喙部有一种特殊的磁性矿物——专家认为这种矿物可能帮助它们感知地球磁场)”介绍了鸟类利用磁场导航的生理基础。G选项“Then these smart creatures can use it to guide them so accurately. (然后这些聪明的生物可以利用它如此精确地为自己导航)”承接上文，用“Then”引出这种生理特征带来的结果——利用磁场精确导航，使论述完整。故选G项。 第三部分完形填空(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。 Twenty years ago, I was heartbroken after losing my dear rescue dog Blondie, my loyal companion who had stood by me during the ___41___ years of dating and heartbreak.

While we were boarding the bus and waving goodbye to them, my parents asked me to be safe. “Be careful when you ride in the hills. Pay special attention to cars and the mountain slopes (斜坡). Once you fall off the slope, your bones may be broken,” my mother said. I smiled and nodded. Our bus started. Half an hour later, we reached our destination: We each rented a mountain bike from a bike store there and paid the rent. When the store owner handed us the bikes, he asked us to take care, and we all replied, “Sure, sir.” Then we cheerfully set off. The road was in good condition, the air was fresh, the flowers on the mountain slopes were pretty, and the birds were singing. We avoided every car on the road and happily moved ahead, enjoying the beautiful woods. Halfway, we stopped for a while to look at the map. When we continued cycling, I said to my best friend Dylan, “How about having a race? Let’s see who can ride faster!” “Sure. Let’s do it,” Dylan agreed excitedly. Then we began to compete on the mountain road. I completely forgot my parents’ warning. Dylan and I rode on the road as fast as we could, without realizing the possible dangers waiting for us. Our friends repeatedly shouted at us, “Wait, Dylan and Tom! Slow down! Don’t ride that fast! Stop racing!” However, we both turned a deaf ear to their warnings. I rode just a little faster than Dylan, and he rode crazily, trying his best to catch up with me. Finally, I arrived at the terminal (终点站) we had set first. “Woohoo! I’ve won!” I shouted proudly. When I looked back, however, Dylan was nowhere to be seen. A moment later, he still didn’t appear, which made me feel strange. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: It was then that I realized something was wrong. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: On closer examination, we found Dylan lying on a nearby road, injured. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: It was then that I realized something was wrong. My heart pounded as I scanned the winding road behind me — no sign of Dylan. Our friends caught up, panting and worried. “Where’s Dylan?” one asked anxiously. Suddenly, we heard a faint cry from below the slope. We rushed to the edge and saw his bike tangled in bushes halfway down the hill. Without hesitation, we ran down the steep path, calling his name. Fear gripped me — I remembered my mother’s warning about falling off the slope. What if he’d broken bones? Guilt washed over me for ignoring everyone’s pleas to slow down. Paragraph 2: On closer examination, we found Dylan lying on a nearby road, injured. He was conscious but holding his ankle, wincing in pain. “I lost control when I tried to overtake you,” he groaned. One of our friends immediately called for help while another stayed with him. Soon, local rescuers arrived and carefully carried Dylan to safety. At the clinic, the doctor said it was only a sprain — not as bad as we’d feared — but we all learned a hard lesson. From that day on, I never raced on mountain roads again. Speed wasn’t worth the risk; safety and friendship mattered far more. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次山地骑行经历为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友们暑假去山城骑行，作者与好友迪伦不顾他人警告在山路上竞速，作者先到达终点后，却发现迪伦不见踪影，意识到情况不对的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“就在那时，我意识到出事了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友焦急寻找迪伦，听到斜坡下的微弱呼喊，发现他的自行车卡在灌木丛中，作者因忽视警告而满心愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“仔细查看后，我们发现迪伦受伤躺在附近的路上。”可知，第二段可描写迪伦脚踝扭伤，朋友呼救后救援人员赶到，迪伦并无大碍，作者从中领悟到安全和友谊比速度更重要。 2. 续写线索：意识到出事——众人寻找——发现自行车听到呼救——冲下坡查看——发现迪伦受伤得知原因——分工救援送医——诊断结果——吸取教训 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①扫视：scan/look over ②呼救：call for help/ask for assistance ③抱怨，发牢骚：groan/complain/beef about 情绪类 ①担忧的：worried/anxious ②恐惧：fear/terror 【点睛】[高分句型1] Without hesitation, we ran down the steep path, calling his name.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] One of our friends immediately called for help while another stayed with him.（运用了while连接两个并列句表示对比） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Oh, it's so hot today.
