B “Are you still climbing all those stairs?” The question comes after friends say, “You’re looking good,” considerately not adding, “for your age.” “Yup. Still trampping up and down.” I do a little soft shoe dancing for emphasis. “Just like Shirley Temple and Bill Whatzisname in that musical years ago.” They shake their heads. Same old question, same old response. They’ve been joking with us about our hardwood stairs ever since we bought this old farmhouse 50 years ago. There were three flights, one from the main floor bending to the second, a narrow flight to the third—floor rooms, and narrow stairs down to the basement. The stairs didn’t seem a problem when we moved in. We were younger, livelier and ran up and down many times a day without concern. Though as we grew older, carrying a load of freshly washed clothes from the basement to the third floor could be tiring and we’d have to pause to catch our breath on the landings. Our daughter brought a friend over to meet the “old folks at home” and on his very first visit he looked up at the stairs and said, “These could be dangerous. Have you ever thought about putting rubber treads on them?” We did so at the request of my daughter, but we removed them later because they were dust collectors. Our son, home from the West Coast for a visit but really to check on his aging parents, suggested, “You might investigate one of those lifts where you sit down, press a button and rise up.” “What happens if there’s a power failure?” we protested. “And our legs have weakened because of no exercise.” Some people run, some drive to the gym, and others wear watches to count their steps. But a few trips up and down stairs after breakfast get my blood flowing and the muscles working and I’m set for the day. Occasionally my back aches and I’m reduced to a snail’s pace. But speed is no longer a priority. 4. Why does the author respond to her friends with a humorous and playful manner? A. To prove her physical capability despite aging. B. To express appreciation for their kind remarks. C. To prevent repetitive inquiries about her lifestyle. D. To hide her discomfort about the stairs’ condition. 5. Why did the family remove the rubber treads from the stairs? A. They collected too much dust. B. They became unsafe over time. C. They were expensive to maintain. D. They made the stairs harder to climb. 6. How do the stairs contribute to the author’s daily life? A. They excite cherished memories of her youth. B. They show her resistance to modern conveniences. C. They function as a practical alternative to daily exercise. D. They strengthen her connection to the farmhouse’s history. 7. Which of the following words might best describe the author? A. Athletic and stubborn. B. Sensitive and traditional. C. Practical and economical. D. Optimistic and independent. C In the early 1990s, in a small back room of London’s Zoological Society, change was underway. An ecologist named Georgina Mace had invited a group of her workmates to cooperate on a project. Right there would emerge what the journal Nature has called “the most used and trusted source for assessing trends in global biodiversity.” Around the world, it’s known by wildlife advocates simply as the Red List, a detailed list of life on Earth. Evaluated species receive one of seven color-related labels based on how endangered they are, according to data; categories range from the green “least concern” through levels of increasing threat to, finally, “extinct,” symbolized by a black circle. Born in London in 1953, Mace spent much of her career at the Society’s Institute of Zoology, including a period as its director for six years in the 2000s. But back in the 1980s, she focused on how to manage small populations of animals both in the wild and in captivity (圈养). The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List started in the mid-1960s. Its nomination (提名) process was then highly subjective. Beloved animals like the cheetah (猎豹) were more likely to be nominated than lesser-known species, such as the Andean catfish. In 1991, Mace coauthored a paper with*American biologist Russell Lande, calling for a reworking of the Red List based on evidence-based data. The paper would become the foundation of the modern Red List. Revising the Red List was just one of many projects Mace advocated from the United Nations’ Millennium Ecological Assessment to campaigning for more cooperation between disciplines, including the integration of economics into modern ecology. She was named a Fellow of the Royal Society, the highest honor given to British scientists, and, in 2016, a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. 8. What is the primary purpose of the Red List? A. To document the total number of species on Earth. B. To track the migration patterns of wildlife globally. C. To assess a species’ situation based on extinction risk. D. To promote captive programs for endangered animals. 9. What was the focus of Georgina Mace’s research in the 1980s? A. Studying the causes of species extinction. B. Developing the Red List’s classification system. C. Advocating for global wildlife conservation policies. D. Managing small animal populations in captivity and the wild. 10. What can be inferred about the cheetah according to paragraph 3? A. It was endangered in the mid-1960s. B. It was the first to be on the IUCN Red List. C. It was lesser known than the Andean catfish. D. It was more fortunate than the Andean catfish. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. An ecologist made biodiversity count. B. A list helped categorize newfound species. C. An incident inspired Mace to pursue zoology. D. A society brought wildlife advocates together. D In recent decades, experiments have begun to catch up with what people who work closely with animals have always known—that animals have an inner life, and consciousness isn’t uniquely human. Consciousness is a concept that is extremely difficult to define. There have been many attempts: is it awareness, or awareness of that awareness, or self-awareness instead? But a useful working definition might be that it is any kind of subjective experience, ranging from how we perceive the external world to our inner thoughts and emotions. Because you can never be inside another living being’s head, questions of consciousness are both hard to answer and open to bias (偏见). Findings of experiments inspired a group of scientists in April to write The New York Declaration Animal Consciousness, which now has over 300 supporters. It states that there is “strong scientific support for conscious experience” in mammals and birds and “at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience” in fish and other species. That animals have some form of inner life must surely be self-evident to many people who live or work with them, just as I would guess that most carers of newborn babies don’t see these infant as senseless automatic machines. The experiences of people with thorough knowledge of either have historically, been viewed as subjective and biased, as emotional connection tends to influence logical reasoning. Our consciousness leads us to over-empathize with others we cannot truly know, the argument goes. But, as the biologist Marc Bekoff wrote, if we humans have something, then other animals are likely to have it too. I personally feel that attempts to divorce emotion, feeling and experience from how we see animals can be as unscientific. For too long, we assumed that humans are unique and animals don’t feel pain or emotions the way that we do, a convenient but cruel null hypothesis (无效假设), when we could have started from the position that perhaps they do instead. 12. Which is a key characteristic of consciousness according to the passage? A. It means any emotional experience of humans. B. It refers to individual’s subjective experience. C. It is all about how we perceive the external world. D. It refers to a common quality shared by all animals. 13. Why are the carers of newborn babies mentioned? A. To show that animals are just as conscious as human babies. B. To help readers understand why animals possess consciousness. C. To argue against the view of people living or working with animals. D. To explain why animal carers would assume animals have an inner life. 14. What might be the author’s attitude towards Marc Bckoff’s assumption about animal emotions? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 15. which can be the best title of the passage? A. Consciousness Improved Through Practice B. Questions of Human Consciousness Answered C. Factors Affecting Animal Consciousness Discovered D. Conscious Experience Found in Certain Animal Species 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。 Encouraging kids to make handmade gifts teaches valuable lessons and adds meaning to presents. ___16___ Handmade gifts are thoughtful and show care, making them extra special.

Doing something meaningful can also bring special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there would be no school on Monday — the Labour Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mum. “It was great, Mum. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mum with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favourite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labour Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened by her dad. He told Kayla that in honour of Labour Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mum. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labour Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla, it is,” replied her mum, “but your mum and I thought hard today would make you appreciate why Labour Day was observed in the first place.” 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 At first, Kayla felt sad at her parents’ plan for the holiday. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the housework. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度高三年级第一次素质测试 英语试卷 (考试时间:120分钟 试卷满分:150分) 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、智学网号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是Jacksonville Public Library的借书证办理流程、不同类型借书证的权限，以及借阅政策。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据It Takes Just Two Minutes!部分的“After you’ve completed the form, check your email for your library card number.(填写完表格后，请查收您的电子邮件以获取借书证号码。)”可知，完成在线表格后，Duval County的居民能通过电子邮件获得借书卡号码。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Options for Guests and Nonresidents部分“If you want to use the digital library or check out books, DVDs, etc., you’ll need a Nonresident Card.(如果您想使用数字图书馆或借阅书籍、DVD等，则需要办理“非居民卡”（Nonresident Card）。)”可知，非居民卡允许用户从图书馆借阅实体或数字物品。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Stress-Free Borrowing部分“Borrowed materials still have due dates and lost or damaged items still result in replacement fees.(不过，借阅的资料仍有归还期限，若遗失或损坏，仍需支付更换费用。)”可知，在Jacksonville公共图书馆遗失所借物品仍会产生费用。故选B。 B “Are you still climbing all those stairs?” The question comes after friends say, “You’re looking good,” considerately not adding, “for your age.” “Yup. Still trampping up and down.” I do a little soft shoe dancing for emphasis. “Just like Shirley Temple and Bill Whatzisname in that musical years ago.” They shake their heads. Same old question, same old response. They’ve been joking with us about our hardwood stairs ever since we bought this old farmhouse 50 years ago. There were three flights, one from the main floor bending to the second, a narrow flight to the third—floor rooms, and narrow stairs down to the basement. The stairs didn’t seem a problem when we moved in. We were younger, livelier and ran up and down many times a day without concern. Though as we grew older, carrying a load of freshly washed clothes from the basement to the third floor could be tiring and we’d have to pause to catch our breath on the landings. Our daughter brought a friend over to meet the “old folks at home” and on his very first visit he looked up at the stairs and said, “These could be dangerous. Have you ever thought about putting rubber treads on them?” We did so at the request of my daughter, but we removed them later because they were dust collectors. Our son, home from the West Coast for a visit but really to check on his aging parents, suggested, “You might investigate one of those lifts where you sit down, press a button and rise up.” “What happens if there’s a power failure?” we protested. “And our legs have weakened because of no exercise.” Some people run, some drive to the gym, and others wear watches to count their steps. But a few trips up and down stairs after breakfast get my blood flowing and the muscles working and I’m set for the day. Occasionally my back aches and I’m reduced to a snail’s pace. But speed is no longer a priority. 4. Why does the author respond to her friends with a humorous and playful manner? A. To prove her physical capability despite aging. B. To express appreciation for their kind remarks. C. To prevent repetitive inquiries about her lifestyle. D. To hide her discomfort about the stairs’ condition. 5. Why did the family remove the rubber treads from the stairs? A. They collected too much dust. B. They became unsafe over time. C. They were expensive to maintain. D. They made the stairs harder to climb. 6. How do the stairs contribute to the author’s daily life? A. They excite cherished memories of her youth. B. They show her resistance to modern conveniences. C. They function as a practical alternative to daily exercise. D. They strengthen her connection to the farmhouse’s history. 7. Which of the following words might best describe the author? A. Athletic and stubborn. B. Sensitive and traditional. C. Practical and economical. D. Optimistic and independent. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者年事已高，仍坚持爬家中老农舍的三段硬木楼梯，作者认为爬楼梯是很好的锻炼，能促进血液循环、活动筋骨，虽偶尔背痛会爬得慢一些，却也不在意速度的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““Yup. Still trapping up and down.” I do a little soft shoe dancing for emphasis. “Just like Shirley Temple and Bill Whatzisname in that musical years ago.”(“那可不，还在噔噔噔地上下跑呢。”我踮着脚跳了一小段软底踢踏舞强调，“就跟多年前那部音乐剧里，Shirley Temple和 Bill Whatzisname那个演员一样。””以及第四段“Though as we grew older, carrying a load of freshly washed clothes from the basement to the third floor could be tiring and we’d have to pause to catch our breath on the landings.(可随着年岁渐长，抱着一大摞刚洗好的衣服从地下室搬到三楼，就会累得气喘吁吁，不得不坐在楼梯平台上歇口气，缓一缓。)”可推测，朋友的问题暗含对作者年事已高仍爬楼梯的身体担忧，作者以幽默俏皮的语气回应，还特意跳软底舞强调自己依旧在爬楼梯，实则是为了向朋友证明自己即便年纪渐长，依旧具备爬楼梯的身体能力。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Our daughter brought a friend over to meet the “old folks at home” and on his very first visit he looked up at the stairs and said, “These could be dangerous. Have you ever thought about putting rubber treads on them?” We did so at the request of my daughter, but we removed them later because they were dust collectors.(女儿曾带朋友来家里见我们这两位“长辈”，那小伙子第一次来，抬头看到楼梯就说：“这楼梯看着挺危险的，你们没想过贴层橡胶防滑条吗？”我们听了女儿的话贴了防滑条，可后来又拆了——因为这东西太容易积灰了。)”可知，作者一家拆除楼梯上的橡胶防滑条，是因为这些防滑条特别容易积灰。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Some people run, some drive to the gym, and others wear watches to count their steps. But a few trips up and down stairs after breakfast get my blood flowing and the muscles working and I’m set for the day.(有人跑步健身，有人开车去健身房，还有人戴着运动手表计步。但对我来说，早餐后在楼梯上上下下走几趟，就能让血液循环起来，活动开筋骨，一整天都神清气爽。)”可知，爬楼梯能让作者的血液循环、活动筋骨，成为了跑步、去健身房等方式之外，作者日常锻炼的一种实用替代方式。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““Yup. Still trapping up and down.” I do a little soft shoe dancing for emphasis. “Just like Shirley Temple and Bill Whatzisname in that musical years ago.”(“那可不，还在噔噔噔地上下跑呢。”我踮着脚跳了一小段软底踢踏舞强调，“就跟多年前那部音乐剧里，Shirley Temple和 Bill Whatzisname那个演员一样。”)”以及最后一段“Occasionally my back aches and I’m reduced to a snail’s pace. But speed is no longer a priority.(偶尔我的后背会犯疼，走楼梯的速度慢得像蜗牛，但速度，早就不是我在意的事了。)”可知，作者以幽默俏皮的方式回应朋友关于爬楼梯的询问，最后一段作者即便偶尔背痛、爬楼梯速度变慢也毫不在意，以及作者拒绝儿子安装楼梯升降椅的提议，坚持自主爬楼梯锻炼的内容可知，作者年事渐长却始终心态积极乐观，同时拒绝依赖外在的现代便利，坚持自己的生活方式，展现出独立的特质。故选D。 C In the early 1990s, in a small back room of London’s Zoological Society, change was underway. An ecologist named Georgina Mace had invited a group of her workmates to cooperate on a project. Right there would emerge what the journal Nature has called “the most used and trusted source for assessing trends in global biodiversity.” Around the world, it’s known by wildlife advocates simply as the Red List, a detailed list of life on Earth. Evaluated species receive one of seven color-related labels based on how endangered they are, according to data; categories range from the green “least concern” through levels of increasing threat to, finally, “extinct,” symbolized by a black circle. Born in London in 1953, Mace spent much of her career at the Society’s Institute of Zoology, including a period as its director for six years in the 2000s. But back in the 1980s, she focused on how to manage small populations of animals both in the wild and in captivity (圈养). The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List started in the mid-1960s. Its nomination (提名) process was then highly subjective. Beloved animals like the cheetah (猎豹) were more likely to be nominated than lesser-known species, such as the Andean catfish. In 1991, Mace coauthored a paper with*American biologist Russell Lande, calling for a reworking of the Red List based on evidence-based data. The paper would become the foundation of the modern Red List. Revising the Red List was just one of many projects Mace advocated from the United Nations’ Millennium Ecological Assessment to campaigning for more cooperation between disciplines, including the integration of economics into modern ecology. She was named a Fellow of the Royal Society, the highest honor given to British scientists, and, in 2016, a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. 8. What is the primary purpose of the Red List? A. To document the total number of species on Earth. B. To track the migration patterns of wildlife globally. C. To assess a species’ situation based on extinction risk. D. To promote captive programs for endangered animals. 9. What was the focus of Georgina Mace’s research in the 1980s? A. Studying the causes of species extinction. B. Developing the Red List’s classification system. C. Advocating for global wildlife conservation policies. D. Managing small animal populations in captivity and the wild. 10. What can be inferred about the cheetah according to paragraph 3? A. It was endangered in the mid-1960s. B. It was the first to be on the IUCN Red List. C. It was lesser known than the Andean catfish. D. It was more fortunate than the Andean catfish. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. An ecologist made biodiversity count. B. A list helped categorize newfound species. C. An incident inspired Mace to pursue zoology. D. A society brought wildlife advocates together. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了生态学家Georgina Mace于20世纪90年代初在伦敦推动相关项目，助力完善世界自然保护联盟红色名录，她与美国生物学家联合发文为现代红色名录奠定循证数据的基础，还推动了联合国千年生态评估、学科跨界合作等诸多生态相关事业，也因此斩获英国皇家学会院士等多项重量级荣誉。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Evaluated species receive one of seven color-related labels based on how endangered they are, according to data; categories range from the green “least concern” through levels of increasing threat to, finally, “extinct,” symbolized by a black circle.(工作人员会依据数据，根据物种的濒危程度，为被评估物种评定七个与颜色对应的等级标识；等级从代表“无危”的绿色，逐级过渡到威胁程度递增的各类等级，最终以黑色圆圈标注的“灭绝”为最高濒危等级。)”可知，红色名录会依据数据，根据物种的濒危程度为其评定不同等级标识，等级涵盖从无危到灭绝的各类灭绝风险程度，其核心目的是根据灭绝风险评估物种的生存状况。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But back in the 1980s, she focused on how to manage small populations of animals both in the wild and in captivity (圈养).(而早在20世纪80年代，她的研究重心便聚焦于野生和圈养小型动物种群的管理方法。)”可知，Georgina Mace在20世纪80年代的研究重心是管理野生和圈养状态下的小型动物种群。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List started in the mid-1960s. Its nomination (提名) process was then highly subjective. Beloved animals like the cheetah (猎豹) were more likely to be nominated than lesser-known species, such as the Andean catfish.(世界自然保护联盟红色名录始于20世纪60年代中期。彼时其物种提名流程极具主观性。猎豹这类受人喜爱的动物，远比安第斯鲶鱼这类鲜为人知的物种更易被纳入提名。)”可知，20 世纪60年代中期世界自然保护联盟红色名录的提名流程极具主观性，猎豹作为受喜爱的动物，比安第斯鲶鱼这类鲜为人知的物种更易被提名，也就意味着猎豹在名录提名上比安第斯鲶鱼更幸运。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，本文围绕生态学家Georgina Mace展开，讲述了她牵头完善世界自然保护联盟红色名录，将其从主观提名改为基于循证数据的评估体系，让这份名录成为评估全球生物多样性趋势的重要依据，同时她还推动了联合国千年生态评估、学科跨界合作等多项生态保护事业，为全球生物多样性保护作出了关键贡献，核心是展现这位生态学家让生物多样性的评估与保护变得有章可循、更具价值。故选A。 D In recent decades, experiments have begun to catch up with what people who work closely with animals have always known—that animals have an inner life, and consciousness isn’t uniquely human. Consciousness is a concept that is extremely difficult to define. There have been many attempts: is it awareness, or awareness of that awareness, or self-awareness instead? But a useful working definition might be that it is any kind of subjective experience, ranging from how we perceive the external world to our inner thoughts and emotions. Because you can never be inside another living being’s head, questions of consciousness are both hard to answer and open to bias (偏见). Findings of experiments inspired a group of scientists in April to write The New York Declaration Animal Consciousness, which now has over 300 supporters. It states that there is “strong scientific support for conscious experience” in mammals and birds and “at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience” in fish and other species. That animals have some form of inner life must surely be self-evident to many people who live or work with them, just as I would guess that most carers of newborn babies don’t see these infant as senseless automatic machines. The experiences of people with thorough knowledge of either have historically, been viewed as subjective and biased, as emotional connection tends to influence logical reasoning. Our consciousness leads us to over-empathize with others we cannot truly know, the argument goes. But, as the biologist Marc Bekoff wrote, if we humans have something, then other animals are likely to have it too. I personally feel that attempts to divorce emotion, feeling and experience from how we see animals can be as unscientific. For too long, we assumed that humans are unique and animals don’t feel pain or emotions the way that we do, a convenient but cruel null hypothesis (无效假设), when we could have started from the position that perhaps they do instead. 12. Which is a key characteristic of consciousness according to the passage? A. It means any emotional experience of humans. B. It refers to individual’s subjective experience. C. It is all about how we perceive the external world. D. It refers to a common quality shared by all animals. 13. Why are the carers of newborn babies mentioned? A. To show that animals are just as conscious as human babies. B. To help readers understand why animals possess consciousness. C. To argue against the view of people living or working with animals. D. To explain why animal carers would assume animals have an inner life. 14. What might be the author’s attitude towards Marc Bckoff’s assumption about animal emotions? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 15. which can be the best title of the passage? A. Consciousness Improved Through Practice B. Questions of Human Consciousness Answered C. Factors Affecting Animal Consciousness Discovered D. Conscious Experience Found in Certain Animal Species 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。文章通过介绍科学家对动物意识的实验和发现，向读者普及了关于动物意识的知识，并探讨了意识这一概念的定义和难以测量的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“But a useful working definition might be that it is any kind of subjective experience, ranging from how we perceive the external world to our inner thoughts and emotions. (但一个有用的可行定义可能是，它是任何一种主观体验，从我们如何感知外部世界到我们的内心想法和情绪。)”可知，个体的主观体验是意识的关键特征。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“That animals have some form of inner life must surely be self-evident to many people who live or work with them, just as I would guess that most carers of newborn babies don’t see these infant as senseless automatic machines. (动物有某种形式的内在生命，这一点对许多与它们一起生活或工作的人来说肯定是不言而喻的，就像我猜大多数照顾新生儿的人不会把这些婴儿视为毫无意义的自动机器一样。)”可知，提到新生儿护理者的目的是为了解释为什么动物护理者会认为动物有某种形式的内在生命。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“But, as the biologist Marc Bekoff wrote, if we humans have something, then other animals are likely to have it too. I personally feel that attempts to divorce emotion, feeling and experience from how we see animals can be as unscientific. (但是，正如生物学家Marc Bekoff所写的那样，如果我们人类有某种东西，那么其他动物很可能也有。我个人认为，试图将情感、感觉和经验与我们看待动物的方式分离开来是不科学的。)”可知，作者认为Marc Bekoff关于动物情感的假设是科学的，并且作者支持这种假设。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第三段“Findings of experiments inspired a group of scientists in April to write The New York Declaration Animal Consciousness, which now has over 300 supporters. It states that there is “strong scientific support for conscious experience” in mammals and birds and “at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience” in fish and other species. (实验的发现启发了一组科学家在4月份撰写了《The New York Declaration Animal Consciousness》，现在有300多名支持者。它指出，在哺乳动物和鸟类中有“强有力的科学支持意识体验”，在鱼类和其他物种中“至少有现实的意识体验可能性”。)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家在动物身上发现了意识体验，包括哺乳动物、鸟类以及鱼类和其他物种。因此，D选项“Conscious Experience Found in Certain Animal Species (在某些动物物种中发现意识体验)”符合题意。故选D。 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。 Encouraging kids to make handmade gifts teaches valuable lessons and adds meaning to presents. ___16___ Handmade gifts are thoughtful and show care, making them extra special.

When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there would be no school on Monday — the Labour Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mum. “It was great, Mum. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mum with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favourite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labour Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened by her dad. He told Kayla that in honour of Labour Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mum. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labour Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla, it is,” replied her mum, “but your mum and I thought hard today would make you appreciate why Labour Day was observed in the first place.” 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 At first, Kayla felt sad at her parents’ plan for the holiday. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the housework. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version At first, Kayla felt sad at her parents’ plan for the holiday. She dragged her feet as she grabbed a broom, grumbling under her breath about “wasting the extra day.” Wiping the dusty windows made her arms ache, and sweeping the wet leaves in the yard left her shoes muddy — none of this felt like a holiday at all. She kept checking the clock, counting down the minutes until she could sneak back to her room. But things began to change as she was doing the housework. When she finished scrubbing the kitchen counter, her mum smiled and pointed out how bright the room looked; when she helped her dad fix the wobbly fence, he high-fived her and said the yard felt “brand new.” By evening, Kayla sat on the clean porch, sipping lemonade with her parents, and realized the tiredness faded into a warm pride — this kind of fun, from working and making the home nicer, felt more special than any video game or basketball game. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了假期未必只关乎玩乐，凯拉原本满心期待劳动节假期玩耍，却被父母安排全家大扫除。起初她满心抱怨、消极应付，可在劳动过程中，她从父母的肯定和焕然一新的家宅里收获了成就感，最终体会到：投身有意义的劳动，能带来比单纯玩乐更特别的愉悦。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初，凯拉对父母为这个假期制定的计划感到很沮丧”可知，第一段可描写起初凯拉满心抱怨、消极应付。 ②由第二段首句内容“但当她开始做家务时，情况开始发生变化”可知，第二段可描写在劳动过程中，凯拉从父母的肯定和焕然一新的家宅里收获了成就感，最终体会到：投身有意义的劳动，能带来比单纯玩乐更特别的愉悦。 2.续写线索：打扫家务——抱怨——消极应对——情况改变——体会到成就感——凯拉感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①溜回：sneak back/slip away ②计算：count down/calculate ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①疲惫：tiredness/fatigue ②乐趣：fun/enjoyment 【点睛】[高分句型1] She dragged her feet as she grabbed a broom, grumbling under her breath about “wasting the extra day.”（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] When she finished scrubbing the kitchen counter, her mum smiled and pointed out how bright the room looked; when she helped her dad fix the wobbly fence, he high-fived her and said the yard felt “brand new.”（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
