B A Yale-led study warns that global climate change may have a destructive effect on many butterfly populations worldwide, turning their species-rich mountain habitats from shelters into traps. Think of it as the “butterfly effect” — the idea that something as tiny as a butterfly moving its wings can eventually cause a big event like a hurricane — the opposite way around. The new study, published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, also suggests that a lack of comprehensive global data about insects may leave conservationists and policymakers ill-prepared to mitigate biodiversity loss from climate change for a wide range of insect species. For the study, a team co-led by Yale ecologist Walter Jetz analyzed phylogenetic (系统发育的) and geographic range data for more than 12,000 butterfly species worldwide. They found that butterfly diversity is highly grouped in tropical and subtropical mountain systems: two-thirds of butterfly species live mainly in the mountains, which contain 3. 5 times more butterfly hotspots than lowlands. Yet those mountain ecosystems and surrounding areas are quickly changing as a result of climate change. According to the study, 64% of the specific temperature conditions for butterflies in tropical areas will disappear by 2070, as the unique temperature ranges in mountain regions continue to decrease. Current priorities in biodiversity preservation, the researchers note, are aimed at animals and plants, rather than insects. Until now, a global assessment of the geographic coincidence (分布特征) of diversity, rarity, and climate change threats for an insect system did not exist. The new assessment shows that patterns in butterfly diversity differ strongly from those of much better studied groups such as birds and mammals — challenging the relevance of existing conservation priorities, the researchers said. “The diversity, elegance, and beauty of butterflies excite people all over the world,” said Jetz, a professor. “Butterflies live with plants and help maintain the balance of nature,” he added. “Unfortunately, our first global assessment of butterfly diversity and threats finds that butterflies fascinating adaptation to higher-elevation (较高海拔的) environments might now lead to their extinction, with potentially thousands of species committed to extinction from global warming this century.” 24.What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Increase. B. Reduce. C. Prevent. D. Ignore. 25.Why do mountain systems become a threat to butterflies? A. They are experiencing rapid climate shifts. B. They provide inadequate food sources. C. Their temperatures become unstable. D. Their developing patterns change. 26.Why does the study challenge existing conservation frameworks? A. Policy timelines mismatch extinction rates. B. Insect data is contradictory to climate predictions. C. Traditional models ignore elevation adaptations. D. Shared areas with bird or mammal habitats decreases. 27.Which of the following statements would Jetz agree with? A. Butterflies’ adaptability helps their living. B. Ecosystem dependence enlarges climate threats. C. Public liking effectively stops butterfly extinction. D. High-elevation habitats make sure future species safety. C I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well，because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However，the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse，the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心) us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people. Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no，small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found，they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression，but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers. We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message．An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover，studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use. As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents' mental health，I appreciate parents' frustration (沮丧) and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents，I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are，however，no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors. More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States，there is，on average，one school psychologist for every 1，119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately，our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need，and deserve，more. 28.What is presented in The Anxious Generation? A. Scary stories affect children's brains. B. Parents are responsible for children's health. C. Teen's mental illness results from screen time. D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable. 29.What does “the same message” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Many countries do research in mental health. B. Well-being and social media are closely related. C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis. D. Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness. 30.What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Effective actions need to be taken. B. Positive stories should be shared. C. Financial support needs to be provided. D. Broader research should be done. 31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest ways to help those in need. B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis. C. To recommend a newly-published book. D. To give a voice to children's mental issues. D Raised on the farm，Padma Suresh had a love for agriculture just like her father. Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields，learning the art of organic farming. After moving to the city，she began missing the farm. Faced with the limited space，Padma felt the absence of fresh vegetables. Besides，she was disappointed with the taste and quality of shop-bought vegetables. Because chemicals used on vegetables were harmful to human health，she finally decided to take matters into her own hands and change her yard into a vegetable garden. Now 48，Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables. She relies on natural fertilizers (肥料). Additionally，she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish. Her husband Suresh Ettan，who is now working in an oil and gas company，said，“As I don't eat meat，I have limited food choices in the city. Now every morning，my wife sends me a good breakfast. Apart from that，she also shares the photos of her day's harvest. I take pride in showing those photos to my colleagues. ” For Padma the garden has become a source of joy and also a link to her rural roots. Padma says she finds connection to her village through the traditional recipes and taste of home-grown vegetables. More importantly，by growing her own food，the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money. Earning money was what she didn't expect. Padma says she has a small shop where she sells extra vegetables. Within an hour，all her vegetables are sold out. This organic farming business earns her up to Rs 1，000. 32.When did Padma develop her love for organic farming? A. After she moved to the city. B. When she helped on the farm. C. After she graduated from school. D. When she lacked fresh vegetables. 33.Which words can best describe Padma? A. Warm-hearted and confident. B. Generous and gifted. C. Creative and hard-working. D. Responsible and organized. 34.How does Suresh Ettan feel about his wife's farm? A. The farm makes his life busy. B. The farm offers him rich food. C. The farm costs lots of his money. D. The farm prevents him eating meat. 35.What unexpected benefit has been brought to Padma? A. Some additional income. B. Good neighbour relationship. C. Fresh vegetables for her family. D. A connection with her hometown. 第二节 （共 5小题；每小题 2.5 分， 满分 12.5分） Although many people still like to have three main meals a day, others are choosing a lighter way of eating rather than substantial meals. 36 . The important thing is to make sure you choose healthy foods. 37 The demands of modern life mean that we don’t always have the opportunity to sit down and eat three meals a day. For some people, the pressures of combining work and family leave little time for food preparation. Others regularly eat on their own and don’t want to bother cooking a full meal. Focus on nutrients There is no “right” way of eating, as long as you take in all the nutrients your body requires. 38 . Boredom or stress can drive us to the fridge, or corner shop. If you make sure all your snacks are nutritious ones, as well as lower in fat and sugar, you are less likely to eat beyond your body's needs. Choose healthy snacks Starchy carbohydrates (淀粉类碳水化合物) have a lot to offer nutritionally and make excellent choices as the basis both for snacks and for lunch. 39 . Fresh fruits or vegetables are both excellent choices for a light snack. Although not as filling as starchy carbohydrate foods, some of them are high in disease-fighting vitamins. Make time for lunch 40 , most of us try to make time for lunch, even if it is just a “light bite”—a sandwich in the office, or a simple hot dish in the canteen. Lunch is an essential pause in the middle of the day, a chance to relax and recharge our batteries a little. A. As we are familiar with our habits B. Either option is equally acceptable C. Eat in a way that suits your lifestyle D. We don’t just eat because we're hungry E. Change your lifestyle through eating properly F. No matter what our eating pattern is for the rest of the day G. They are filling and help you stay filled with energy for a while 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节, 满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） As a growing family，we gathered lots of stuff，especially toys.

He had a group of friends, participated in some school activities, and was an average student academically. However, deep inside, he was in a constant state of confusion and self-doubt. Jack had always been pushed by his parents to follow a certain path. They wanted him to study engineering in college, believing it would lead to a stable and prosperous future. But Jack had a hidden passion for art. He loved to draw and paint, spending countless hours in his room, creating beautiful landscapes and portraits on his canvases. One day, a well-known art competition was announced in the city. The theme was “The True Self”. Jack was immediately drawn to it. This was a chance for him to express himself through his art, to show the world who he really was. But he was extremely hesitant. He knew that if his parents found out he was participating in an art competition, they would be furious. Jack’s best friend, Tom, noticed his inner conflict. “Jack, you have to go for it. This is your chance to discover who you truly are. Don’t let your parents’ expectations hold you back,” Tom encouraged him. With Tom’s words echoing in his mind, Jack decided to secretly enter the competition. He worked day and night on his painting. It was a self-portrait that showed the different sides of his personality — the obedient (顺从的) son on the surface, but beneath that, a passionate artist longing to break free. As the submission (提交) deadline approached, Jack was both excited and terrified. Finally, the day of the submission arrived. Jack carefully wrapped his painting and took it to the competition venue. As he placed his work on the table, he felt a sense of liberation, as if a part of him had finally been set free. A few weeks later, Jack received an email from the competition organizers. His heart skipped a beat as he opened it. The email informed him that his painting had made it to the final round! He was overjoyed, but at the same time, the fear of his parents’ reaction grew stronger. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jack’s excitement disappeared when he realized that the final round required him to show his work in person at a public event. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the event, Jack stood in front of the large crowd, holding his painting. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025学年下学期期末考试 高二英语答案 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) 1.What course will the woman take? 【听力原文】M: So, are you going to join my Spanish course this year?

A【解析】细节理解题。根据Outliers部分“Through fascinating case studies, Gladwell argues that success is not only the result of individual talent but also a combination of opportunity, timing, and hard work”, 可知，该书认为成功是多种因素的结合。故选A。 22. B【解析】细节理解题。根据The Glass Castle部分“Jeannette Walls’ inspiring memoir, The Glass Castle, describes her poor childhood in an unstable environment”, 可知，Jeannette Walls在贫困中长大。故选B。 23. C【解析】推理判断题。四本书分别围绕成功因素、克服逆境、个人成长和习惯养成展开，“Outliers”中“understand the secrets behind extraordinary achievements可知，该书探讨成功因素，强调个人成就；“The Glass Castle”中“highlighting the strength needed to overcome adversity可知，该书关注克服逆境和个人韧性；“The Road Less Traveled”中“a powerful guide to personal growth and spiritual development可知，该书聚焦个人成长和精神发展；“Atomic Habits”中内容“a practical guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones”, 可知，该书提供自我改进的实用策略。由此推知，所有书均涉及Self-development自我发展主题。故选C。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，耶鲁大学研究指出全球气候变化使蝴蝶的山区栖息地从庇护所变为陷阱，64%的热带蝴蝶生存温度条件或于2070年消失，现有保护框架因忽视昆虫多样性而面临挑战。 24. B【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“... a lack of comprehensive global data about insects may leave conservationists and policymakers ill-prepared to mitigate biodiversity loss from climate change”可知，缺乏数据导致保护者难以“减轻”气候变化对生物多样性的损失，故mitigate意为“减少”，与reduce同义。故选B。 25. A【解析】细节理解题。由第五段中的“... those mountain ecosystems and surrounding areas are quickly changing as a result of climate change ... 64%of the specific temperature conditions for butterflies in tropical areas will disappear by 2070”可知，山区生态系统因气候变化经历快速温度变化，导致蝴蝶生存条件消失。故选A。 26. C【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“... butterfly diversity differs strongly from those of much better studied groups such as birds and mammals”及最后一段中的“... butterflies’ adaptation to higher-elevation environments might now lead to their extinction”可知，传统保护框架侧重鸟类和哺乳动物，忽视了蝴蝶对高海拔环境的适应性，因此受到挑战。故选C。 27. B【解析】推理判断题。由最后一段中的“butterflies’ fascinating adaptation to higher-elevation environments might now lead to their extinction”可知，Jetz认为蝴蝶对高海拔生态系统的依赖反而因气候变化加剧了灭绝风险，即生态系统依赖放大了气候威胁。故选B。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章是对《焦虑的一代》一书的评论，作者认为该书提出的数字技术导致儿童大脑重构和精神健康危机的观点缺乏科学依据。作者强调精神障碍的成因复杂，需要基于科学和证据的解决方案，而不是简单归咎于社交媒体。 28. C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中“However，the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. ”可知，该书重复暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神健康问题的流行。C选项“Teen's mental illness results from screen time. (青少年的精神疾病与看屏幕时间有关。)”与该书描述相一致。故选C。 29. D【解析】词义猜测题。根据第二段“When associations over time are found. . . different ways from their healthy peers. ”以及画线词后面的内容“An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. ”可知，“同样的信息”指的是社交媒体并不一定导致心理健康问题。通过在72个国家进行的一项分析显示，在全球范围内，幸福感和社交媒体之间没有一致的或可衡量的联系。故画线词指代的是没有一致或可测量的证据表明社交媒体与心理疾病有密切关系。故选D。 30. A【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We have a generation in crisis. . . support young people who need，and deserve，more. ”可知，针对年轻人的心理健康问题，我们正在浪费时间讲述没有研究支持的故事，而这些故事对需要帮助的年轻人并没有帮助，这暗示我们需要采取有效的行动来解决这个问题。故选A。 31. D【解析】写作目的题。根据第一段中“I had to say something after reading . . . mental illness is unsupported by science. ”以及最后一段中“Unfortunately，our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need，and deserve，more. ”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都在批评一本书的观点，并强调需要科学和证据支持的解决方案，而不应该把时间浪费在没有科学研究支持的结论中，由此表明作者写这篇文章的目的是引起人们对儿童心理健康问题以及真正引发该问题的原因进行关注和理解。故选D。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Padma Suresh从小热爱有机农业，搬到城市后对农场生活充满怀念，于是将自家院子改造成菜园，不仅为家人提供有机蔬菜，还意外获得了额外收入的故事。 32.

Apart from that，she also shares the photos of her day's harvest. ”可知，Suresh Ettan认为他妻子的农场为他提供了丰富的食物。故选B。 35. A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“More importantly，by growing her own food，the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money. Earning money was what she didn't expect. ”可知，Padma获得的意想不到的好处是一些额外的收入。故选A。 第二节 （共 5小题；每小题 2.5 分， 满分 12.5分） 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何选择适合自己的饮食方式。 36. B【解析】根据上文“Although many people still like to have three main meals a day, others are choosing a lighter way of eating rather than substantial meals. ” 及下文“The important thing is to make sure you choose healthy foods. ” 可知，作者在上文先提出两种不同的饮食方式，下文给出的建议是“确保你选择健康的食物”，空处并未否定任何一种饮食方式，即两种方式都有可行之处，只要健康即可。选项B“Either option is equally acceptable (两种选择都是可以接受的)”符合语境。故选B。 37. C【解析】根据第二段“For some people, the pressures of combining work and family leave little time for food preparation. Others regularly eat on their own and don't want to bother cooking a full meal. ”可知，此处描述不同的人群选择不同的就餐模式，因此本段给出的建议为：根据自己的生活模式选择适合的饮食方式。选项C“Eat in a way that suits your lifestyle (选择适合自己生活方式的饮食方式)”符合语境。故选C。 38. D【解析】根据下文“Boredom or stress can drive us to the fridge, or corner shop. ”可知，我们会在感到无聊或压力时选择吃东西，即我们有时吃东西并非因为饥饿。选项D“We don't just eat because we're hungry (我们不只是因为饿才吃东西)”符合语境。故选D。 39.

The thought of his parents possibly discovering his secret filled him with dread. What if they attended the event and saw his painting? Would they understand, or would they be disappointed in him? For days, Jack struggled with this dilemma. Tom urged him not to give up, saying, “This is your moment to be honest with yourself and others.” After much internal conflict, Jack decided to face his fears. On the day of the event, Jack stood in front of the large crowd, holding his painting. His hands trembled as he unveiled the self-portrait. Murmurs of admiration rippled through the audience. Suddenly, he spotted his parents at the back of the room, their eyes fixed on his artwork. Jack’s heart pounded, but he continued to share the story behind the painting, speaking of his struggle to reconcile his parents’ expectations with his own dreams. When he finished, there was a moment of silence before the crowd broke into warm applause. His parents walked forward, and his mother said softly, “We had no idea how much this means to you.” His father nodded, adding, “Your courage to pursue your truth is what truly matters.” 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
