Mary Poppins She’s the magical, singing babysitter beloved around the world. But the real-life inspiration was no Julie Andrews — the actress who played Mary. Writer PL Travers based the main character in her 1930s’ children’s book on her great-aunt Helen Morehead, who looked after the author’s family after their father’s death. Severus Snape JK Rowling never talked much about the potions (魔药课) master in her Harry Potter series, but he’s thought to be based on her real-life science teacher John Nettleship. John taught Rowling chemistry, and he looked a lot like Snape. He was noted for being strict, but admitted he only started to suspect Snape was based on him when he got to the third book. However, his wife noticed the similarities straight away. James Bond Author Ian Fleming served as a commander in the British Naval Intelligence during World War II. His most famous creation, James Bond, was based on some characters he met then, such as Serbian Dusko Popov, who worked for the FBI spy group. The name “James Bond” came from an American bird expert. Fleming picked the name because it sounded boring — it was perfectly forgettable, ideal for an undercover spy. Sherlock Holmes The famous detective was actually based on a real-life doctor. Joseph Bell was a surgeon and teacher who studied with author Arthur Conan Doyle at Edinburgh University. Much like Holmes’ famous powers of deduction (推理), Dr Bell had a special talent for guessing his patients’ symptoms and diagnosing them before they spoke. He taught his students the importance of observation and using all of their senses when dealing with patients. 1. Who was the real-life inspiration for Mary Poppins? A. Julie Andrews. B. PL Travers. C. Helen Morehead. D. A singing babysitter. 2. Why did Fleming pick the name “James Bond”? A. It sounded memorable for a spy. B. It seemed ordinary for a cover. C. It was the real name of a soldier. D. It was inspired by an American scientist. 3. What do the real-life inspirations for Severus Snape and Sherlock Holmes have in common? A. They worked in the field of education. B. They had a strict and serious personality. C. They had unique skills in observing details. D. They were famous after the characters were created. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了电影中一些经典角色的现实原型及作者创作这些角色的灵感来源。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mary Poppins部分中“Writer PL Travers based the main character in her 1930s’ children’s book on her great-aunt Helen Morehead, who looked after the author’s family after their father’s death.(作家PL Travers以她曾姑母海伦·莫尔黑德为原型创作了她20世纪30年代儿童书中的主角，海伦·莫尔黑德在作者父亲去世后照顾作者一家)”可知，玛丽·波平斯的现实原型是海伦·莫尔黑德，故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据James Bond部分中“Fleming picked the name because it sounded boring — it was perfectly forgettable, ideal for an undercover spy.(弗莱明选这个名字是因为它听起来很无聊——很容易让人忘记，对于一名卧底间谍来说再合适不过了)”可知，弗莱明选“詹姆斯·邦德”这个名字是因为它作为掩护很普通，故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Severus Snape部分中“John taught Rowling chemistry(约翰教罗琳化学)”以及Sherlock Holmes部分中“Joseph Bell was a surgeon and teacher who studied with author Arthur Conan Doyle at Edinburgh University.(约瑟夫·贝尔是一名外科医生兼教师，他和作者阿瑟·柯南·道尔在爱丁堡大学一起学习)”可知，斯内普和夏洛克·福尔摩斯的现实原型都从事教育工作，故选A。 B Determined to support people in need, Lynn and her daughter Quady opened the first emergency nursery in New Jersey — creating a safe shelter that has touched countless lives! Lynn’s passion began in 1989, when she volunteered in Houston as a college student. Seeing children rescued from destructive situations by a devoted team touched her heart. “I can see the sadness in the children’s eyes melt away when they are finally safe,” she thought, “This is special work.” Later, back in New Jersey, Lynn volunteered at a group home. There she met a sweet, curly-haired baby named Quady — whom she eventually adopted. “Mom, you’ve given me so much; it’s time for me to pay it forward,” Quady said one day. Together, they set up the free emergency childcare service, naming it Pinwheel Place. They chose pinwheels (风车) because they’re fun and light-hearted, just like the childhood every kid deserves. Their mission is to support families struggling to find childcare during critical moments like medical emergencies, job interviews — with no questions asked. This allows parents to heal, attend appointments, focus on their health and handle difficulties. Pinwheel Place runs thanks to the generosity of donors and volunteers. The warm, welcoming space includes areas for kids at different ages. Beyond on-site care, the nonprofit also hands out diapers (尿布) and other essentials to families and new parents throughout Monmouth County. Lynn and Quady are often touched by the gratitude they receive. Besides providing essentials, Lynn takes pride in giving parents a calm, listening space. She shares it means a lot to help families through tough times with her daughter, “No parents should have to face these challenges alone. It takes a village, and this community has shown incredible support. Our goal is to be a vital lifeline, offering safe childcare when they need it most.” 4. What motivated Lynn to develop her passion for helping people in need? A. Learning in college. B. A volunteering experience. C. The affection for children. D. Witness to parents’ suffering. 5. What is a characteristic of the “pinwheel”? A. It represents emergency. B. It’s from the community’s donation. C. It’s Quady’s favorite gift. D. It’s a symbol of carefree childhood. 6. How do the needy families benefit from the nonprofit service? A. It eliminates their poverty. B. It helps them live in hope. C. It offers them regular lessons. D. It entertains them with stories. 7. Which words can best describe Lynn and Quady? A. Optimistic and clear-sighted. B. Sympathetic and humorous. C. Warm-hearted and committed. D. Open-minded and humble. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了琳恩和养女奎迪创办应急托儿所，助力困境家庭的暖心故事与公益初心。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Lynn’s passion began in 1989, when she volunteered in Houston as a college student. Seeing children rescued from destructive situations by a devoted team touched her heart. (琳恩的这份热忱始于1989年，当时她还是一名大学生，在休斯敦做志愿者。看到一群热忱的人将孩子们从糟糕的处境中解救出来，她深受触动)”可知，大学时期的志愿经历激发了琳恩帮助他人的热情。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They chose pinwheels (风车) because they’re fun and light-hearted, just like the childhood every kid deserves. (她们选择风车这个名字，是因为风车有趣又轻松，就像每个孩子都应拥有的童年一样)”可知，风车的寓意是无忧无虑的童年。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Their mission is to support families struggling to find childcare during critical moments like medical emergencies, job interviews — with no questions asked. This allows parents to heal, attend appointments, focus on their health and handle difficulties. (她们的使命是为那些在医疗急救、求职面试等紧急关头难以找到托育服务的家庭提供帮扶——全程无任何附加问询。这让父母们能够安心调养身体、赴约办事、关注自身健康，从容应对各类困境)”以及最后一段中的“She shares it means a lot to help families through tough times with her daughter, “No parents should have to face these challenges alone. It takes a village, and this community has shown incredible support. Our goal is to be a vital lifeline, offering safe childcare when they need it most.”(她说，和女儿一起帮助家庭度过困难时期对她来说意义重大，“没有父母应该独自面对这些挑战。这需要整个社区的共同努力，而这个社区给予了我们极大的支持。我们的目标是成为一条至关重要的生命线，在他们最需要的时候提供安全的儿童照护服务。”)”可推知，这个非营利机构的服务能帮助困境家庭渡过难关，让他们心怀希望地生活。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，琳恩因志愿经历萌生帮助困境儿童的想法，后与养女奎迪创办免费应急托儿所，为有需要的家庭提供托育服务和生活必需品，且始终坚守公益初心。由此推知，林恩和奎迪是热心且有责任感的。故选C项。 C Gardens seem sustainable as they absorb extra carbon. Yet not all reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide — some add to carbon pollution, and most gardeners aren’t even aware of that. Even so, it is possible to attain a net-zero garden and sometimes create a carbon sink in your garden. The secret to developing a carbon-free garden is to be intentional about it. Home gardens cause carbon emissions via the gas-powered mowers (割草机), plastic plant supports, burning garden waste and artificial fertilizers (化肥). Controlling these factors helps create such a garden. To attain a carbon-free garden, take a twin approach. First, aim to reduce your carbon output to net zero if possible. Use self-made compost (堆肥) for fertilizer. Compost your leftover foods at home and vegetables. Grow native plants to reduce the use of pesticide. Native plants are hardy, pest-resistant, require no strict care or regular mowing, and may thrive with weeds that affect most plants. Secondly, aim at sequestering (封存) extra carbon from the atmosphere. Plant trees — silver maple, London plane, American sweetgum and pines, to boost carbon capture. You don’t have to turn your backyard into a forest to make an impact. Just spread trees in your garden to help remove more carbon. Grow grass alternatives — clove, chamomile and wildflowers to skip mowing, or grow grass using an electric mower instead of a gas-powered mower. Plus, grow short trees or shrubs as natural plant supports that may act as supports for climbing plants rather than plastic supports. The concept of carbon-free gardening is quite new, but it is attainable. The beauty of it is that you don’t have to make significant changes. Minor adjustments, such as changing from artificial to compost, can have a major impact. 8. Which of the following contributes to carbon pollution in home gardens? A. Burning garden waste. B. Bringing in foreign plant species. C. Making self-made compost. D. Growing natural plant supports. 9. What can be inferred about native plants from the passage? A. They require frequent mowing. B. They need special care to grow well. C. They are easily affected by weeds. D. They help reduce carbon indirectly. 10. How does the author present the issue in the fourth paragraph? A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving examples. D. By introducing a study. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Importance of Sustainability. B. The Art of Carbon-free Gardening. C. Tips on Choosing Alternative Plants. D. Twin Approaches to Growing Plants. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍家庭花园的碳排放问题及打造零碳花园的双管齐下的具体方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Home gardens cause carbon emissions via the gas-powered mowers (割草机), plastic plant supports, burning garden waste and artificial fertilizers (化肥). (家庭花园的碳排放来源于燃油割草机、塑料植物支架、焚烧花园废弃物以及化肥的使用)”可知，焚烧花园废弃物会造成家庭花园的碳污染。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Grow native plants to reduce the use of pesticide. Native plants are hardy, pest-resistant, require no strict care or regular mowing, (种植本土植物可以减少杀虫剂的使用。本土植物适应性强、抗虫害，无需精细打理和定期修剪)”可知，本土植物无需定期修剪，也就减少了燃油割草机的使用，而燃油割草机是碳排放来源之一，由此可推知，本土植物能间接减少碳排放。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Plant trees — silver maple, London plane, American sweetgum and pines, to boost carbon capture. (种植银枫、伦敦悬铃木、美国枫香树和松树等树木，来提高碳捕捉量)”以及“Grow grass alternatives — clove, chamomile and wildflowers to skip mowing, (种植替代草坪的植物，如丁香、洋甘菊和野花，从而避免修剪)”可知，作者在第四段通过列举具体植物种类的方式来阐述固碳的方法。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头点明家庭花园的碳排放问题，接着介绍打造零碳花园的两大核心方法，最后强调零碳花园的可实现性，全文始终围绕零碳花园的打造方法展开。所以“零碳园艺的诀窍”为最佳标题。故选B项。 D Playing pianos could help protect you from dementia (痴呆), according to a recent study looking into the brain health of older musicians. It investigated picking up a new instrument later in life. Playing music was associated with less age-related cognitive (认知的) decline. The Canada-China study, published in PLOS Biology, recruited 50 adults with an average age of 65. Half didn’t play an instrument, and half played an instrument for at least 32 years. It also found 24 young people, with an average age of 23 without musical training. The scientists scanned the participants using MRI (磁共振成像) to measure their brain blood flow. During the scans, participants were played a recording of someone speaking above background noise. They were asked to identify what the main speaker was saying. Scientists found the older musicians’ brains responded to the challenge similarly to the younger participants’ brains. The older non-musicians, however, showed signs of cognitive decline. While the musicians benefitted from strong right-brain connections, the non-musicians didn’t. They had to compensate by using the left side of their brains, putting more stress on the brain. “The brains of older musicians stay sharp thanks to years of training,” said co-author Dr YiDu, from China. “Our study shows musical experience builds cognitive reserve, helping their brains avoid the usual age-related overwork when understanding speech in noisy places.” As we age, many brain’s functions like memory and learning deteriorate, which can eventually lead to dementia. Scientists believe cognitive reserve—the brain’s ability to cope with damage — might help build adaptability and prevent this decline. “It’s not clear how this works.” Dr Morten, associate professor of ageing in Copenhagen, noted. “In general, it’s advised to train your brain, but the data is actually not that clear.” 12. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study? A. Take a language test. B. Play a song recording. C. Identify background noise. D. Recognize speech content. 13. Why did the older non-musicians put more stress on their brains during the MRI scan? A. They had weak right-brain links. B. They couldn’t hear the speaker clearly. C. Their left brains were not functional. D. They compensated for the overuse of brains. 14 What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Steady. B. Improve. C. Disappear. D. Worsen. 15. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. Making use of the findings. B. Clarifying the purpose of the study. C. Conducting further research. D. Assessing participants’ cognitive reserve. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项关于弹奏钢琴与预防老年痴呆关联的研究，揭示长期演奏乐器对大脑认知的积极作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“During the scans, participants were played a recording of someone speaking above background noise. They were asked to identify what the main speaker was saying. (扫描过程中，研究人员向参与者播放一段夹杂背景噪音的人声录音，并要求他们辨别出说话者的主要内容)”可知，研究中参与者被要求识别录音中的讲话内容。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While the musicians benefitted from strong right-brain connections, the non-musicians didn’t. They had to compensate by using the left side of their brains, putting more stress on the brain. (音乐家的右脑连接更为紧密并从中获益，而非音乐家则没有这样的优势。他们不得不动用左脑来代偿，这给大脑增加了更多负担)”可知，老年非音乐家在磁共振扫描中大脑负担更重的原因是他们的右脑连接较弱。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“As we age, many brain’s functions like memory and learning deteriorate, which can eventually lead to dementia. (随着年龄增长，大脑的许多功能如记忆力、学习能力会______，最终可能导致痴呆症)”可知，最终可能导致痴呆症，说明“deteriorate”的结果是引发痴呆，结该词意为“恶化；衰退”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““It’s not clear how this works.” Dr Morten, associate professor of ageing in Copenhagen, noted. “In general, it’s advised to train your brain, but the data is actually not that clear.” (哥本哈根大学老年学副教授莫滕博士指出：“这种作用机制目前尚不清楚。总体而言，人们建议进行大脑训练，但相关数据其实并不充分”)”可知，当前研究仍存在未明确的机制和数据缺口，因此后续研究很可能会针对这些空白展开进一步探索。故选C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。 Good news: Making small changes to your everyday routine breaks up the dullness (乏味). ____16____ Here are some tips worth following. ● Strengthen memory with your other hand.

Then she met her husband and lived in Dublin for 13 years. During the pandemic, she lost her job as a translator. However, she surprised herself by returning to a childhood hobby—crocheting, and making a business out of it. She played with handmade dolls as a child, and her twin daughters, Elif and Zeynep, loved playing with dolls too. So, that was how it started. She believed Irish and Turkish cultures, both family-focused, gift-loving and appreciative of handmade items, would embrace her products. Arzu launched her online business in 2020, offering dolls, baby gift boxes, keyrings and more. She worked with a group of skilled craftspeople, located mainly in Türkiye, who made the items by hand. “I speak the language, and I know the culture, so I can relate to so many things,” she said, “I have a nice bond with them.” Meanwhile, she rented a place in a market to sell the popular goods. Her daughters, the new generation, were two balls of fire in crochet too. When Arzu was busy, they just helped her, and worked together at the market on weekends. One Saturday morning, when Arzu and her daughters arranged crochet blankets and handcrafted keyrings at their stall (摊位), a middle-aged woman stopped by, staring carefully at a crochet tablecloth displayed. “This pattern... it reminds me so much of the one my Turkish grandma made for me,” she said softly, her eyes filled with nostalgia (怀念). The woman, named Clara, explained she’d lost touch with her Turkish relatives decades ago and had never found anything that brought back such vivid memories. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式作答。 Clara asked if Arzu could make a version of her grandma’s tablecloth as a reminder ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, Clara returned to the stall. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Clara asked if Arzu could make a version of her grandma’s tablecloth as a reminder. Arzu readily agreed, moved by Clara’s nostalgia. She spent evenings chatting with Clara, noting tiny details of the original pattern: creamy colors, Turkish roses, silver threads shining along the edges that Clara described from memory. After finalizing the details, Arzu immediately began her work. She selected the finest cotton threads, and Elif and Zeynep joined in, suggesting ways to simplify the design while preserving its charm, their young hands helping with complicated crochet work. With days of hard work, they eventually finished the tablecloth. Weeks later, Clara returned to the stall. Gently unfolding a package, Clara held the delicate tablecloth to her chest, tears of happiness rolling down her smiling face. The cloth seemed to carry the warmth of her grandmother’s hands, bringing back clear memories of arranging cookies on a similar cloth during holiday celebrations in her childhood. “You’ve turned my lost memories into something real,” she said softly, her voice full of feelings. Clara expressed sincere gratitude to Arzu and her daughters. It dawned on Arzu that her weaving served as a vivid bridge between two cultures, all rooted in a simple crochet reminder. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述 15 年前来自土耳其的 Arzu 作为学生来到爱尔兰，在疫情期间失去翻译工作后，重拾童年钩针编织爱好并开展线上生意。她与土耳其手工艺人合作，售卖玩偶、礼品盒等手工制品，她的女儿们也参与其中。一天，名叫 Clara 的中年女子在摊位前看到钩针桌布，勾起对土耳其祖母的回忆，请求Arzu制作类似桌布。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“克拉拉问阿尔祖是否能制作一款类似她祖母桌布的东西，以此作为一种纪念。”可知，第一段续写应围绕Arzu如何承接这个请求展开，描述她与 Clara 沟通获取桌布细节，与女儿们一起精心挑选材料并投入制作。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，克拉拉回到了摊位”可知，第二段续写要体现 Clara看到桌布后的反应，她被桌布勾起美好回忆，表达对Arzu母女的感激，而Arzu也领悟到钩针编织在连接不同文化中的意义。 2.续写线索：Arzu 承接请求——与女儿们获取细节并制作桌布——Clara 看到桌布回忆起童年——Arzu 领悟到钩针编织的文化意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①同意：agree /consent ②展开：unfold /spread out ③领悟：dawn on sb/strike sb 情绪类： ①温柔地：gently /softly ②感激：gratitude /appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She spent evenings chatting with Clara, noting tiny details of the original pattern: creamy colors, Turkish roses, silver threads shining along the edges that Clara described from memory.（运用现在分词短语 chatting with Clara 和 noting tiny details 作伴随状语，that 引导定语从句修饰 edges） 【高分句型 2】It dawned on Arzu that her weaving served as a vivid bridge between two cultures, all rooted in a simple crochet reminder.（运用了that引导的主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度上学期期末考试高二试题 英语 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150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。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.

Mary Poppins She’s the magical, singing babysitter beloved around the world. But the real-life inspiration was no Julie Andrews — the actress who played Mary. Writer PL Travers based the main character in her 1930s’ children’s book on her great-aunt Helen Morehead, who looked after the author’s family after their father’s death. Severus Snape JK Rowling never talked much about the potions (魔药课) master in her Harry Potter series, but he’s thought to be based on her real-life science teacher John Nettleship. John taught Rowling chemistry, and he looked a lot like Snape. He was noted for being strict, but admitted he only started to suspect Snape was based on him when he got to the third book. However, his wife noticed the similarities straight away. James Bond Author Ian Fleming served as a commander in the British Naval Intelligence during World War II. His most famous creation, James Bond, was based on some characters he met then, such as Serbian Dusko Popov, who worked for the FBI spy group. The name “James Bond” came from an American bird expert. Fleming picked the name because it sounded boring — it was perfectly forgettable, ideal for an undercover spy. Sherlock Holmes The famous detective was actually based on a real-life doctor. Joseph Bell was a surgeon and teacher who studied with author Arthur Conan Doyle at Edinburgh University. Much like Holmes’ famous powers of deduction (推理), Dr Bell had a special talent for guessing his patients’ symptoms and diagnosing them before they spoke. He taught his students the importance of observation and using all of their senses when dealing with patients. 1. Who was the real-life inspiration for Mary Poppins? A. Julie Andrews. B. PL Travers. C. Helen Morehead. D. A singing babysitter. 2. Why did Fleming pick the name “James Bond”? A. It sounded memorable for a spy. B. It seemed ordinary for a cover. C. It was the real name of a soldier. D. It was inspired by an American scientist. 3. What do the real-life inspirations for Severus Snape and Sherlock Holmes have in common? A They worked in the field of education. B. They had a strict and serious personality. C. They had unique skills in observing details. D. They were famous after the characters were created. B Determined to support people in need, Lynn and her daughter Quady opened the first emergency nursery in New Jersey — creating a safe shelter that has touched countless lives! Lynn’s passion began in 1989, when she volunteered in Houston as a college student. Seeing children rescued from destructive situations by a devoted team touched her heart. “I can see the sadness in the children’s eyes melt away when they are finally safe,” she thought, “This is special work.” Later, back in New Jersey, Lynn volunteered at a group home. There she met a sweet, curly-haired baby named Quady — whom she eventually adopted. “Mom, you’ve given me so much; it’s time for me to pay it forward,” Quady said one day. Together, they set up the free emergency childcare service, naming it Pinwheel Place. They chose pinwheels (风车) because they’re fun and light-hearted, just like the childhood every kid deserves. Their mission is to support families struggling to find childcare during critical moments like medical emergencies job interviews — with no questions asked. This allows parents to heal, attend appointments, focus on their health and handle difficulties. Pinwheel Place runs thanks to the generosity of donors and volunteers. The warm, welcoming space includes areas for kids at different ages. Beyond on-site care, the nonprofit also hands out diapers (尿布) and other essentials to families and new parents throughout Monmouth County. Lynn and Quady are often touched by the gratitude they receive. Besides providing essentials, Lynn takes pride in giving parents a calm, listening space. She shares it means a lot to help families through tough times with her daughter, “No parents should have to face these challenges alone. It takes a village, and this community has shown incredible support. Our goal is to be a vital lifeline, offering safe childcare when they need it most.” 4. What motivated Lynn to develop her passion for helping people in need? A. Learning in college. B. A volunteering experience. C. The affection for children. D. Witness to parents’ suffering. 5. What is a characteristic of the “pinwheel”? A. It represents emergency. B. It’s from the community’s donation. C. It’s Quady’s favorite gift. D. It’s a symbol of carefree childhood. 6. How do the needy families benefit from the nonprofit service? A. It eliminates their poverty. B. It helps them live in hope. C. It offers them regular lessons. D. It entertains them with stories. 7 Which words can best describe Lynn and Quady? A. Optimistic and clear-sighted. B. Sympathetic and humorous. C. Warm-hearted and committed. D. Open-minded and humble. C Gardens seem sustainable as they absorb extra carbon. Yet not all reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide — some add to carbon pollution, and most gardeners aren’t even aware of that. Even so, it is possible to attain a net-zero garden and sometimes create a carbon sink in your garden. The secret to developing a carbon-free garden is to be intentional about it. Home gardens cause carbon emissions via the gas-powered mowers (割草机), plastic plant supports, burning garden waste and artificial fertilizers (化肥). Controlling these factors helps create such a garden. To attain a carbon-free garden take a twin approach. First, aim to reduce your carbon output to net zero if possible. Use self-made compost (堆肥) for fertilizer. Compost your leftover foods at home and vegetables. Grow native plants to reduce the use of pesticide. Native plants are hardy, pest-resistant, require no strict care or regular mowing, and may thrive with weeds that affect most plants. Secondly, aim at sequestering (封存) extra carbon from the atmosphere. Plant trees — silver maple, London plane, American sweetgum and pines, to boost carbon capture. You don’t have to turn your backyard into a forest to make an impact. Just spread trees in your garden to help remove more carbon. Grow grass alternatives — clove, chamomile and wildflowers to skip mowing, or grow grass using an electric mower instead of a gas-powered mower. Plus, grow short trees or shrubs as natural plant supports that may act as supports for climbing plants rather than plastic supports. The concept of carbon-free gardening is quite new, but it is attainable. The beauty of it is that you don’t have to make significant changes. Minor adjustments, such as changing from artificial to compost, can have a major impact. 8. Which of the following contributes to carbon pollution in home gardens? A. Burning garden waste. B. Bringing in foreign plant species. C. Making self-made compost. D. Growing natural plant supports. 9. What can be inferred about native plants from the passage? A. They require frequent mowing. B. They need special care to grow well. C. They are easily affected by weeds. D. They help reduce carbon indirectly. 10. How does the author present the issue in the fourth paragraph? A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving examples. D. By introducing a study. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Importance of Sustainability. B. The Art of Carbon-free Gardening. C. Tips on Choosing Alternative Plants. D. Twin Approaches to Growing Plants. D Playing pianos could help protect you from dementia (痴呆), according to a recent study looking into the brain health of older musicians. It investigated picking up a new instrument later in life. Playing music was associated with less age-related cognitive (认知的) decline. The Canada-China study, published in PLOS Biology, recruited 50 adults with an average age of 65. Half didn’t play an instrument, and half played an instrument for at least 32 years. It also found 24 young people, with an average age of 23 without musical training. The scientists scanned the participants using MRI (磁共振成像) to measure their brain blood flow. During the scans, participants were played a recording of someone speaking above background noise. They were asked to identify what the main speaker was saying. Scientists found the older musicians’ brains responded to the challenge similarly to the younger participants’ brains. The older non-musicians, however, showed signs of cognitive decline. While the musicians benefitted from strong right-brain connections, the non-musicians didn’t. They had to compensate by using the left side of their brains, putting more stress on the brain. “The brains of older musicians stay sharp thanks to years of training,” said co-author Dr YiDu, from China. “Our study shows musical experience builds cognitive reserve, helping their brains avoid the usual age-related overwork when understanding speech in noisy places.” As we age, many brain’s functions like memory and learning deteriorate, which can eventually lead to dementia. Scientists believe cognitive reserve—the brain’s ability to cope with damage — might help build adaptability and prevent this decline. “It’s not clear how this works.” Dr Morten, associate professor of ageing in Copenhagen, noted. “In general, it’s advised to train your brain, but the data is actually not that clear.” 12. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study? A. Take a language test. B. Play a song recording. C. Identify background noise. D. Recognize speech content. 13. Why did the older non-musicians put more stress on their brains during the MRI scan? A. They had weak right-brain links. B. They couldn’t hear the speaker clearly. C. Their left brains were not functional. D. They compensated for the overuse of brains. 14. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Steady. B. Improve. C. Disappear. D. Worsen. 15. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. Making use of the findings. B. Clarifying the purpose of the study. C. Conducting further research. D. Assessing participants’ cognitive reserve. 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。 Good news: Making small changes to your everyday routine breaks up the dullness (乏味). ____16____ Here are some tips worth following. ● Strengthen memory with your other hand.

Then she met her husband and lived in Dublin for 13 years. During the pandemic, she lost her job as a translator. However, she surprised herself by returning to a childhood hobby—crocheting, and making a business out of it. She played with handmade dolls as a child, and her twin daughters, Elif and Zeynep, loved playing with dolls too. So, that was how it started. She believed Irish and Turkish cultures, both family-focused, gift-loving and appreciative of handmade items, would embrace her products. Arzu launched her online business in 2020, offering dolls, baby gift boxes, keyrings and more. She worked with a group of skilled craftspeople, located mainly in Türkiye, who made the items by hand. “I speak the language, and I know the culture, so I can relate to so many things,” she said, “I have a nice bond with them.” Meanwhile, she rented a place in a market to sell the popular goods. Her daughters, the new generation, were two balls of fire in crochet too. When Arzu was busy, they just helped her, and worked together at the market on weekends. One Saturday morning, when Arzu and her daughters arranged crochet blankets and handcrafted keyrings at their stall (摊位), a middle-aged woman stopped by, staring carefully at a crochet tablecloth displayed. “This pattern... it reminds me so much of the one my Turkish grandma made for me,” she said softly, her eyes filled with nostalgia (怀念). The woman, named Clara, explained she’d lost touch with her Turkish relatives decades ago and had never found anything that brought back such vivid memories. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式作答。 Clara asked if Arzu could make a version of her grandma’s tablecloth as a reminder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, Clara returned to the stall. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
