B Suppose I were to ask you to name some of the greatest nurses that the world has ever known.In that case,there is an extreme probability that you will mention Florence Nightingale,the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse.It's safe to say that Florence is the archetype (of contemporary nurses. Florence was born on May 12th,1820 and her journey to greatness started.She was born into privilege.She was a polymath genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today.She even memorized the works of philosophy and would often debate with her father. She had the option of having a society life in a nice big house,with a staff of servants.However, she craved for something worth doing instead of frittering away time on useless trifles.She determined to end suffering in this world as a nurse,but both of her parents disagreed with that,for nursing was considered inferior at that time.Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents over and over again,but they didn't budge. When Florence turned 30,her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training.In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital.Florence didn't know at the time that she was going to be dragged into one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history-the Crimean War.Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War,which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (rates. It's difficult to overstate the contributions that Florence Nightingale made to medicine,including her work on sanitation and hygiene and on organizational structures,and especially to nursing.Her work as well as her life represents the power of a single determined individual who is set on bringing a positive change to society.She pulled off the inevitable and became a legend and immortal in the pages of history. 24.Why is Florence Nightingale mentioned in paragraph 1? A.To praise Nightingale's genius in multiple fields. B.To present how tough Nightingale's teenage life was. C.To introduce Nightingale's impact during the Crimean War. D.To illustrate what modern-day nurses are supposed to be like. 25.What does the underlined word "budge"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Obey. B.Compromise. C.Respect. D.Care. 26.Which of the following can best describes Florence Nightingale? A.Intelligent and reserved. B.Ambitious and sociable C.Single-minded and innocent. D.Committed and compassionate. 2025年武汉二中高一下学期六月月考英语试卷第3页共8页 27.What can we infer about Florence Nightingale from the last two paragraphs? A.Her contribution to the healthcare system was played down. B.She was a game-changing nurse in saving people during the war. C.She resisted her parents by devoting herself to a higher calling. D.She intended to participate in one of the cruelest wars in European history. c Southern Spain's landscape in high summer is perhaps best described as "crunchy",when almost everything green dies一except for the carline thistle(卡琳蓟).Ecologist Carlos M.Herrera was conducting a survey of pollinators in southern Spain when he peered into a thistle blossom.To his astonishment,it felt unmistakably cool -even after hours in direct sun.After measuring the temperature inside the flower heads and the surrounding air,he found the flower heads were routinely nine degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their surroundings,with the difference approaching 18 degrees F for some flowers on the hottest days. Sanna Sevanto,a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory,says Herrera's finding is exciting and could confirm a risky plant survival strategy that has,until now,only been theorized. Sevanto and other scientists have documented apparent self-cooling in tree leaves,but that's probably a coincidence,she says..To perform photosynthesis(光合作用)，leaves need access to carbon dioxide,which enters through tiny holes called stomata on a leafs surface.When stomata open to let carbon dioxide in,some water escapes,thereby causing evaporative cooling ( that lowers the leaf's temperature slightly.But for the Spanish thistles,evaporative cooling could be the goal rather than just a side effect of photosynthesis.Herrera suggests the plant could essentially be sweating:sacrificing precious water,extremely rare in Spain's summers,to prevent its delicate reproductive organs from overheating.Opening stomata in a drought is a big gamble,though,and she notes that so far"we have not observed a plant that would do it to cool themselves. Herrera has more experiments planned for the next boiling summer.He will adjust a plant's water supply to try to prove its cooling is really a "sweating"action,and he will look for novelties in the thistle's root structure that could explain how it is able to take in enough water to invest in cooling. With heat waves more frequent,it's vital to study the plants'unusual adaptations. 28.What main discovery did Carlos make about the carline thistle? A.It can cool itself significantly. B.It requires more water than other plants. C.It has a unique method of photosynthesis. D.It is the only plant that survives in southern Spain. 29.What does Sanna Sevanto find exciting about Herrera's findings? A.They provide a solution to climate change. B.They could explain how all plants cool themselves. C.They may confirm a theorized survival strategy for plants. D.They prove that photosynthesis is unnecessary for survival. 30.What can we learn about the cooling mechanism of the carline thistle? A.It depends on air temperature. B.It may sweat at the cost of water. D.Its reproductive organs have cooling capacity. C.Its open stomata ensures a drop in temperature. 31.What can we infer about Herrera's future research on the carline thistle? A.He will prove the thistle will always have enough water. B.He believes the cooling mechanism is fully understood. C.He will explore how the plant regulates water loss and cooling. D.He is confident the thistle's adaptations are enough for survival. 2025年武汉二中高一下学期六月月考英语试卷第4页共8页 D In popular culture,neurosurgeons are usually presented in one of two ways:either as highly skilled yet proud experts or as mad scientists. But these portrayals miss much of what modern neurosurgery is,argues Theodore Schwartz,a neurosurgeon and professor at Weill Cornell Medicine."Gray Matters",an absorbing new book,goes on a tour through different types of brain surgery,from seemingly rough emergency treatments for traumatic injuries to high-precision surgeries to implant electrodes that provide relief from obsessive compulsive disorder ()For each,Dr Schwartz skillfully combines explanations of procedures with personal and historical anecdotes and real-life case studies. The book,like a page-turner,offers a satisfying and varied insight into a fascinating profession.To the outsiders,the details of surgeries are bloody.But in Dr Schwartz's telling,the impact of these horrible procedures on patients and their families is dramatic and touching.Most of the book documents the history and practicalities of brain surgery,starting in the early 20th century when every procedure was a journey into the unknown.Now,a century later,surgeons have precise maps of patients'brains thanks to MRI and CAT scans,and are equipped with high-tech kit to make their work more accurate and less invasive. Dr Schwartz is most interesting when he chews on where his field intersects with society.What does a neurosurgeon think should be done about head injury in sports?Not that much,it turns out.As long as athletes are aware of the risks and are appropriately compensated,they should be allowed to hit their heads together if they wish."Gray Matters"also argues against the conception of free will,using evidence from scientific studies. The brain is increasingly at the centre of the tech world.One of Elon Musk's companies,Neuralink,is trying to develop a complicated brain implant that can record and transmit neural signals,allowing paralyzed patients to control a computer cursor ()Meanwhile,a desire to improve the artificial "brains"powering artificial-intelligence software is driving many techies to look for inspiration in real ones. 32.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A.To brief the readers on the book. B.To detail the work of Dr Schwartz. C.To criticize the popular portrayals of neurosurgeons. D.To give background information about neurosurgery. 33.What's Dr Schwartz's attitude to athletes playing sports despite head injury? A.Opposed. B.Dismissive. C.Indifferent. D.Favourable 34.Why is Elon Musk's Neuralink mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To highlight the development of brain implants. B.To present how inspiration is drawn from real brains for AI. C.To show the increasing cooperation between neuroscience and technology. D.To praise Neuralink's efforts being made to develop complicated brain implants. 35.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Human Brains:The Mysteries of Neurosurgery B.Gray Matters:A Deep Dive into Modern Neurosurgery C.Dr.Schwartz:The Remarkable Writer of Gray Matters D.Neurosurgery:From Popular Myths to High-Tech Innovations 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。 If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping,you have fallen victim to what is known as "spaving",defined as the act of"spending more to save more".36 Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings Take a second to do the math.The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to get a great deal.37 For example,for some "buy more,save more"deals,the percent discount is often the same.However,the original price of a product acts as an anchor,making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is.By doing the math,you'll quickly realize that the 2025年武汉二中高一下学期六月月考英语试卷第5页共8页 savings aren't as significant as they seem. 38 You won't feel the impulse to shop sales if you don't know about them.Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening.Similarly,don't walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on. Stay focused on your shopping list.You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you've created ahead of time.39 Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale. Pause before purchasing.40 Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around,compare prices or even look for a renewed option.This gives you time to ensure you don't already own the item or something similar,helping to avoid unnecessary repetition. A.Turn off sales alerts. B.Spave with a purpose. C.But the numbers tell a different story. D.But consider all the potential ways to save the money. E.It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage F.Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not. G.To avoid such a trap,it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We went for a wedding scheduled the next day.Cooking dinner for all the kids was a combined 41 by a few families as many guests stayed at a motel.All seemed 42 until I realized I didn't buy tomato sauce for my autistic(自闭症的)son Dave.I_43 people around for help but all in vain."Shouldn't he 44 eat what he's given?"someone complained.I explained, "He is particularly 45 to heat and taste..."

Jack,her childhood friend,was an experienced hiker.His practical skills and calm demeanor ( made him the perfect companion for such adventures. It was a sunny afternoon when they decided to explore the thick forest near their hometown. Armed with a map,a compass,and of course,a first-aid kit,they hiked deep into the woods.The singing of birds and the rustling of leaves filled the air,creating a harmonious atmosphere.However, as they walked further,the path became less clear,and the forest grew darker.The towering trees seemed to close in around them,and the sunlight barely filtered (through the thick shade. Suddenly,they heard a weak sound,almost like a cry,Emma stopped in her tracks and turned to Jack."Did you hear that?she asked,her voice barely above a whisper.Jack nodded,his eyes scanning the thick underbrush."It sounds like an animal in trouble,"he replied. Following the sound,they pushed through the bushes and found a small deer trapped in a bush,its leg caught in vines ()The deer's eyes were wide with fear,and it struggled helplessly,its tender body trembling with every movement. Emma knelt down slowly,her hands outstretched."It's okay,little one,"she whispered in a soft voice."We're here to help." Jack pulled out his pocket knife and carefully began to cut the vines."Hold its head gently,"he instructed Emma."We don't want it to panic.Emma nodded,her hands steady as she held the deer's head,whispering comforting words.The deer's breathing was rapid,and its body trembled,but it seemed to sense that they were there to help. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Wait,”Emma said,“Its leg was injured..” After a few tense minutes,Jack finally managed to free the deer's leg. 2025年武汉二中高一下学期六月月考英语试卷第8页共8页英语参考答案 听力理解：1-5 BCBAC 6-10 ABACA 11-15 CBBAB 16-20 BCAAC 阅读理解：21-23CAD 24-27 DBDB 28-31 ACBC 32-35 ADCB 36-40 GCAEF 完型填空：41-45 ACDAB 46-50 CBDAC 51-55 BABCD 语法填词：56.stretching 57.as 58.responds 59.were planted 60.whose 61.it 62.fully 63.length 64.has taken 65.to promote 作文一参考范文 Sports Make Me Grow Sports have always been an integral part of my life,playing a crucial role in my personal development and growth.

After a few tense minutes,Jack finally managed to free the deer's leg.The deer hesitated for a moment,looking at them with its large,dark eyes affectionately.Then,with a soft snort,it limped away into the forest,disappearing among the trees.Emma and Jack stood there in silence,their hearts still racing from the unexpected encounter.The forest seemed quieter now,as if holding its breath. "Do you think it'll be okay?"Emma asked,her voice tinged with concern.Jack placed a comforting hand on her shoulder."We did what we could,"he reassured her."Sometimes,that's all we can do." He glanced at the darkening sky,whispering:"It's strong.It'll survive."

(Text 10) W:I'm here today to tell you about my work.People ask me why I decided to start a new magazine. Well,I've been a journalist for many years working for newspapers and magazines in this country and abroad.I've always dreamt of starting my own magazine,not because I want to be rich but because I want to do something different.And now I've done it!It is different from other magazines. So what's the magazine like?It's the same size as the local weekly newspaper and in fact it looks very similar,but it doesn't carry news and it doesn't report on events as they happen.I think this is the important difference.You can buy it in all the usual places you would buy your local newspaper. The magazine itself is divided into two main parts;the first half is a what's on guide.There are music and film reviews,and information about special events,so you can decide what's worth spending your time on.And it's also got local bus timetables and useful telephone numbers. The other half is the articles.We want to write about the lives of local people.They may be famous or not but they have all done something interesting such as developing a new business.There are several famous artists in the city,like Lisa Goodchild.We hope to interview a wide variety of people. 第4页共4页
