I am one of them, because I had a similar experience with my own dog, Mordred. Mordred was an Irish Wolfhound, a big dog with a fierce personality. When I first met him, he didn’t like me much. He was protective of his owner, Douglas, and saw me as a stranger. But over time, we grew close. Mordred became not only my husband’s dog but also mine. He even walked me down the passage when Douglas and I got married. As time passed, Mordred’s health began to get worse. He was once a strong and proud dog, but then he had trouble walking and even could not eat food. I would stay by his side, taking care of him, making him soup, and cleaning up after him. One day, after he finished his soup, he leaned against me for the first time, showing his trust and affection. It was the most beautiful and emotional moment. Mordred’s health continued to worsen, and he was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with cancer. His once strong body grew weak, and we knew the end was near. No matter what happened, he still tried to be with us. When the time came, we made the painful decision to let him go, and I held him as he took his last breath. The singer’s decision to stay with her dog was an act of love and devotion. I suppose that’s exactly what the singer was facing when she made her brave and likely costly decision, and she wanted to be there to honor her beloved friend up until the very end. Because once you get leaned on by a dog who loves you, you just can’t help but lean right back. 4. Why did the singer put off her South American tour? A. To focus on her hobby. B. To attempt to have a rest at home. C. To care for her sick dog. D. To spend more time with her local fans. 5. What is the author’s attitude towards the singer’s decision? A. Favorable. B. Uncaring.

The research followed nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older for ten years, aiming to understand if drinking coffee or tea regularly influences bone mineral density (骨矿物质密度) (BMD), which helps measure the risk of osteoporosis (骨质疏松). Osteoporosis is a common condition that affects one in three women over 50 and leads to many bone fractures (骨折) each year. Since coffee and tea are part of daily life for billions of people, understanding their impact on bones is important. Previous studies have shown mixed results, but this research is unique because it tracked such a large group for ten years and its results are valuable. The findings showed that women who drank tea had slightly higher hip BMD than those who didn’t. Although the difference was small, it was significant and could have an impact when considering a large group of people. Even small improvements in bone density may lead to fewer fractures, especially in a large population. On the other hand, the effects of coffee were less clear, but drinking too much could lead to lower BMD. Women who drank more alcohol were particularly affected by coffee’s side effects, while tea appeared to benefit women who are overweight. “Our results don’t mean you need to give up coffee or start drinking tea,” says Ryan Liu from Flinders University. “But they do suggest that drinking moderate (适度的) tea could be one simple way to support bone health, and that very high coffee intake might not be a good idea. For older women, enjoying a daily cup of tea is feasible and may be a small step toward stronger bones.” 8. What is the main purpose of the Flinders University study? A. To encourage a healthy lifestyle among the elderly. B. To explore how coffee and tea impact bone health of older women. C. To prove why tea is a time-honored drink in the world. D. To compare the effects of daily diets on BMD. 9. What does the author think of the research? A. It is confusing. B. It is simple. C. It is meaningful. D. It is disappointing. 10. What can be inferred from the new study? A. Tea has no side effects on bones. B. Coffee helps improve bone density. C. High coffee intake harms bones. D. Overweight women need to avoid tea. 11. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in the last paragraph? A. Difficult. B. Workable. C. Popular D. Ineffective. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了弗林德斯大学一项为期十年、针对近万名老年女性的研究，探究咖啡与茶对骨矿物质密度及骨骼健康的影响，并给出了适度饮茶、控制咖啡摄入量的相关建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A recent study from Flinders University has explored how coffee and tea might affect bone health in older women.(弗林德斯大学最近的一项研究探究了咖啡和茶可能如何影响老年女性的骨骼健康)” 可知，该研究的主要目的是探究咖啡和茶对老年女性骨骼健康的影响。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Previous studies have shown mixed results, but this research is unique because it tracked such a large group for ten years and its results are valuable.(以往的研究结果参差不齐，但这项研究具有独特性，因为它对如此庞大的人群进行了十年的追踪，其研究结果具有价值)”可推知，作者认为这项研究是有意义、有价值的，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“On the other hand, the effects of coffee were less clear, but drinking too much could lead to lower BMD.(另一方面，咖啡的影响尚不十分明确，但过量饮用可能会导致骨矿物质密度降低)”可知，过量摄入咖啡会对骨骼造成不利影响。故选C。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文最后一段“For older women, enjoying a daily cup of tea is feasible and may be a small step toward stronger bones.(对于老年女性来说，每天喝一杯茶是feasible，这或许是迈向更强健骨骼的一小步)” 可知，每天一杯茶对老年女性有益处，说明这样做是可行的。由此推知，feasible 意为“可行的”，与workable同义。故选B。 D Despite a 30-year warming trend, the last three years in the Bering Sea have been the coldest on record. A scientist of University of Alaska Fairbanks(UAF) says that the cold temperatures have helped produce larger zooplankton (浮游动物) in the Bering Sea, which may be changing the way Walleye pollock (狭鳕) are feeding. Alexei Pinchuk, a researcher at the UAF Seward Marine Center, has spent the last three years gathering zooplankton samples (样本) in the Bering Sea. He and his coworkers have been looking at how changes in temperature in the Bering Sea affect the zooplankton, and in turn how the zooplankton may affect the diet of Walleye pollock. During colder years, like the last three, pollock tend to eat the larger zooplankton, like copepods and krill, which grow well in lower temperatures. Pinchuk has also found that the recent cold temperatures have brought an arctic “sand-flea”, the amphipod Themisto libellula, south into Bering Sea waters. Young pollock seem to prefer to eat these amphipods over other, smaller ones of zooplankton. In warmer years, which include the record-setting high temperatures of 2001 to 2005, smaller zooplankton tend to grow better. According to Pinchuk and his coworkers, younger pollock tend to eat the smaller plankton, while larger pollock favor the larger plankton found in colder waters. This causes younger pollock to start out doing well in warmer temperatures, but as the pollock grow bigger, they may not be able to find the larger zooplankton they need to produce enough fat for overwintering. “The larger pollock may then eat their smaller cousins instead,” said Pinchuk. Although the last few years have been cold, scientists believe that the warming trend in the Bering Sea will continue. Pinchuk’s findings were recently published in the journal Nature on November 4th. His work is part of the broad Bering Sea Project, a six-year, $52 million ecosystem study of the Bering Sea. The Bering Sea Project is supported by both the National Science Foundation and the North Pacific Research Board. 12. How do cold temperatures affect zooplankton in the Bering Sea? A. They change the colors of zooplankton. B. They reduce the numbers of zooplankton. C. They slow the movement of zooplankton. D. They benefit the growth of zooplankton. 13. What is probably a challenge for young pollock in warmer years? A. They need to travel long distances for food. B. They may meet more enemies. C. They may struggle to survive. D. They have to compete with larger pollock. 14. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Summarize previous studies. B. Add some background information. C. Provide some advice for fishermen. D. Describe the direction of further study. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A science magazine. B. An educational blog. C. A fishing guide. D. A geography textbook. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校的科学家研究发现，白令海近三年的低温环境利于大型浮游动物生长，进而改变了狭鳕的摄食习惯，同时对比了冷暖年份浮游动物的生长差异及对不同体型狭鳕的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“the cold temperatures have helped produce larger zooplankton (浮游动物) in the Bering Sea (低温有助于白令海培育出体型更大的浮游动物)”以及第三段“During colder years, like the last three, pollock tend to eat the larger zooplankton, like copepods and krill, which grow well in lower temperatures. (在较寒冷的年份，比如过去的三年，狭鳕往往会以较大的浮游动物为食，比如桡足类动物和磷虾，因为这些生物在较低的温度环境下生长良好。)”可知，低温环境对白令海浮游动物的生长是有利的，能促进其生长且培育出更大的个体。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This causes younger pollock to start out doing well in warmer temperatures, but as the pollock grow bigger, they may not be able to find the larger zooplankton they need to produce enough fat for overwintering. (这使得幼年狭鳕在温暖的气温下初期生长状况良好，但随着狭鳕体型变大，它们可能无法找到所需的大型浮游动物，来储存足够的脂肪越冬。)”可知，暖年里小型浮游动物生长更好，幼年狭鳕初期有食物来源，但长大后缺少赖以生存的大型浮游动物，无法储备越冬脂肪，后续的生存会面临困难。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Pinchuk’s findings were recently published in the journal Nature on November 4th. His work is part of the broad Bering Sea Project, a six-year, $52 million ecosystem study of the Bering Sea. The Bering Sea Project is supported by both the National Science Foundation and the North Pacific Research Board. (Pinchuk的研究成果最近于11月4日发表在《自然》期刊上。他的研究是大型“白令海项目”的一部分，该项目为期六年、耗资5200万美元，旨在对白令海生态系统开展研究。白令海项目由美国国家科学基金会和北太平洋研究委员会共同资助。)”可知，该段主要介绍了这项研究的发表情况、所属项目以及项目的资助方，是为文章补充了相关的研究背景信息。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章围绕白令海的温度变化对浮游动物及狭鳕摄食、生存的影响展开，介绍了专业的科学研究发现，提及研究结果发表在权威科学期刊《自然》上，还介绍了所属的科研项目，这类内容具有较强的科学性和专业性，符合科学杂志的内容特点。故选A。 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。 Building Skills in the Digital Age In a digital-first world, the ever-changing needs of all kinds of industries mean that no matter which field you choose, you need to be skilled at digital skills, such as using artificial intelligence (AI), digital communication and so on. ____16____.

One evening, she overheard her parents’ quarrel. “I feel I have been taken for granted for years,” said Alison’s mom angrily. “But I am always busy and struggling to support our family. When getting home, I am very tired,” said Alison’s father emotionally. What made Alison extremely sad was that she noticed her parents didn’t say a word to each other for a few days after that quarrel. Alison knew the importance of a good relationship in a family and that the little gestures of love and appreciation that used to be a regular part of her parents’ relationship had disappeared, so she said to herself, “Mom is getting neglected (忽略) by Dad, I should get involved in their relationship to make things better.” One Sunday afternoon, while walking past the local market, Alison happened to see a bouquet of roses on sale. They immediately reminded her of how long it had been since her mom received flowers the last time. An idea came to her suddenly, “A small, anonymous (匿名的) gesture might be what my mom needs to feel special again. And maybe it would spark something that would bring their relationship back to normal.” Without any delay, Alison bought the roses, wrote a simple note, and left them on their doorstep, signing it with “Your Secret Admirer”. Later, what started as a single bouquet quickly turned into a full-on event! Week after week, Alison left chocolates, handwritten letters, and little gifts on the doorstep, all in the name of the same admirer. The other evening, after yet another delivery from the “secret admirer”, Alison came home to find her parents sitting at the living room table. They looked very serious and confused. Mom’s hands were trembling slightly, and Dad stared at what Mom held. The atmosphere in the room was so strange. 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。 “Alison, can you sit down for a moment?” Mom asked, eyes filled with excitement. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When hearing Alison’s explanation, Dad reached out to take her hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： “Alison, can you sit down for a moment?” Mom asked, eyes filled with excitement. Alison hesitated and then took a seat. “Honey, you must have noticed all the presents I’ve been receiving lately. This special admirer reminds me that I have not been ignored, but I want to know who the secret admirer is,” Alison’s mother said happily, her eyes shining with warmth. Then Alison explained that she was the secret admirer and she just wanted to make both realize how much they still meant to each other, hoping they would have a good relationship. When hearing Alison’s explanation, Dad reached out to take her hand. His eyes widened in shock. “Alison, you did this?” Then he continued, “I really appreciate what you have done. I shouldn’t ignore your mother. A good relationship is not only about gifts and notes but also communication, trust, understanding and being together with each other. From now on, I will try my best to be a good husband and father.” Mom nodded with a bright smile. All three of them were locked in a hug. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了21岁的Alison大学毕业后与父母同住，偶然发现父母因长期缺乏沟通、爱意表达消失而关系冷淡、发生争吵。她深知良好家庭关系的重要性，便以“秘密仰慕者”的身份，持续给母亲送鲜花、巧克力、手写信件等小礼物，试图缓和父母关系，最终被父母发现的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘Alison，你能坐一会儿吗？’妈妈问道，眼里满是兴奋。”可知，第一段可描写母亲向Alison提及自己收到的神秘礼物，表达内心的疑惑与感动，随后Alison向父母坦白一切，说明自己做这些事的初衷。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到Alison的解释后，爸爸伸手握住了她的手。”可知，第二段可描写父亲得知真相后的震惊与愧疚，反思自己忽视母亲、疏于经营婚姻的问题，同时表达对女儿的感激，最后父母和解，一家人重获温馨。 2. 续写线索：父母邀约谈话——母亲展示礼物并表达疑惑——Alison 坦白匿名送礼的真相——父亲得知后震惊愧疚——父亲反思自身问题并承诺改变——父母和解，一家人相拥暖心 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①收到：receive/accept/get ②解释：explain/account for/make clear ③忽视：ignore/neglect/be taken for granted 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/astonishment/surprise ②感激：appreciate/show one’s gratitude/be thankful 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Then Alison explained that she was the secret admirer and she just wanted to make both realize how much they still meant to each other, hoping they would have a good relationship.（运用了that和how much引导的宾语从句，现在分词hoping作伴随状语和省略了that的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】Alison’s mother said happily, her eyes shining with warmth.（运用了独立主格结构her eyes shining with warmth作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一英语期末 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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. 考试结束后，将本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。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

B A singer recently made the decision to put off her South American tour to stay with her sick dog, a choice that made some fans angry but she won a whole pack of new ones who thoroughly support and understand that decision all too well. I am one of them, because I had a similar experience with my own dog, Mordred. Mordred was an Irish Wolfhound, a big dog with a fierce personality. When I first met him, he didn’t like me much. He was protective of his owner, Douglas, and saw me as a stranger. But over time, we grew close. Mordred became not only my husband’s dog but also mine. He even walked me down the passage when Douglas and I got married. As time passed, Mordred’s health began to get worse. He was once a strong and proud dog, but then he had trouble walking and even could not eat food. I would stay by his side, taking care of him, making him soup, and cleaning up after him. One day, after he finished his soup, he leaned against me for the first time, showing his trust and affection. It was the most beautiful and emotional moment. Mordred’s health continued to worsen, and he was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with cancer. His once strong body grew weak, and we knew the end was near. No matter what happened, he still tried to be with us. When the time came, we made the painful decision to let him go, and I held him as he took his last breath. The singer’s decision to stay with her dog was an act of love and devotion. I suppose that’s exactly what the singer was facing when she made her brave and likely costly decision, and she wanted to be there to honor her beloved friend up until the very end. Because once you get leaned on by a dog who loves you, you just can’t help but lean right back. 4. Why did the singer put off her South American tour? A. To focus on her hobby. B. To attempt to have a rest at home. C. To care for her sick dog. D. To spend more time with her local fans. 5. What is the author’s attitude towards the singer’s decision? A. Favorable. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Angry. 6. What do we know about the author? A. She felt regretful about raising a dog. B. She was frightened after losing her dog. C. She was seldom attached to large pets. D. She had a deep connection with her dog. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Loving and Losing a Dog B. A Singer’s Heartfelt Choice C. A Tour of South America D. Admiring and Hugging a New Dog C A recent study from Flinders University has explored how coffee and tea might affect bone health in older women. The research followed nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older for ten years, aiming to understand if drinking coffee or tea regularly influences bone mineral density (骨矿物质密度) (BMD), which helps measure the risk of osteoporosis (骨质疏松). Osteoporosis is a common condition that affects one in three women over 50 and leads to many bone fractures (骨折) each year. Since coffee and tea are part of daily life for billions of people, understanding their impact on bones is important. Previous studies have shown mixed results, but this research is unique because it tracked such a large group for ten years and its results are valuable. The findings showed that women who drank tea had slightly higher hip BMD than those who didn’t. Although the difference was small, it was significant and could have an impact when considering a large group of people. Even small improvements in bone density may lead to fewer fractures, especially in a large population. On the other hand, the effects of coffee were less clear, but drinking too much could lead to lower BMD. Women who drank more alcohol were particularly affected by coffee’s side effects, while tea appeared to benefit women who are overweight. “Our results don’t mean you need to give up coffee or start drinking tea,” says Ryan Liu from Flinders University. “But they do suggest that drinking moderate (适度的) tea could be one simple way to support bone health, and that very high coffee intake might not be a good idea. For older women, enjoying a daily cup of tea is feasible and may be a small step toward stronger bones.” 8. What is the main purpose of the Flinders University study? A. To encourage a healthy lifestyle among the elderly. B. To explore how coffee and tea impact bone health of older women. C. To prove why tea is a time-honored drink in the world. D. To compare the effects of daily diets on BMD. 9. What does the author think of the research? A. It is confusing. B. It is simple. C. It is meaningful. D. It is disappointing. 10. What can be inferred from the new study? A. Tea has no side effects on bones. B. Coffee helps improve bone density. C. High coffee intake harms bones. D. Overweight women need to avoid tea. 11. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in the last paragraph? A. Difficult. B. Workable. C. Popular D. Ineffective. D Despite a 30-year warming trend, the last three years in the Bering Sea have been the coldest on record. A scientist of University of Alaska Fairbanks(UAF) says that the cold temperatures have helped produce larger zooplankton (浮游动物) in the Bering Sea, which may be changing the way Walleye pollock (狭鳕) are feeding. Alexei Pinchuk, a researcher at the UAF Seward Marine Center, has spent the last three years gathering zooplankton samples (样本) in the Bering Sea. He and his coworkers have been looking at how changes in temperature in the Bering Sea affect the zooplankton, and in turn how the zooplankton may affect the diet of Walleye pollock. During colder years, like the last three, pollock tend to eat the larger zooplankton, like copepods and krill, which grow well in lower temperatures. Pinchuk has also found that the recent cold temperatures have brought an arctic “sand-flea”, the amphipod Themisto libellula, south into Bering Sea waters. Young pollock seem to prefer to eat these amphipods over other, smaller ones of zooplankton. In warmer years, which include the record-setting high temperatures of 2001 to 2005, smaller zooplankton tend to grow better. According to Pinchuk and his coworkers, younger pollock tend to eat the smaller plankton, while larger pollock favor the larger plankton found in colder waters. This causes younger pollock to start out doing well in warmer temperatures, but as the pollock grow bigger, they may not be able to find the larger zooplankton they need to produce enough fat for overwintering. “The larger pollock may then eat their smaller cousins instead,” said Pinchuk. Although the last few years have been cold, scientists believe that the warming trend in the Bering Sea will continue. Pinchuk’s findings were recently published in the journal Nature on November 4th. His work is part of the broad Bering Sea Project, a six-year, $52 million ecosystem study of the Bering Sea. The Bering Sea Project is supported by both the National Science Foundation and the North Pacific Research Board. 12. How do cold temperatures affect zooplankton in the Bering Sea? A. They change the colors of zooplankton. B. They reduce the numbers of zooplankton. C. They slow the movement of zooplankton. D. They benefit the growth of zooplankton. 13. What is probably a challenge for young pollock in warmer years? A. They need to travel long distances for food. B. They may meet more enemies. C. They may struggle to survive. D. They have to compete with larger pollock. 14. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Summarize previous studies. B. Add some background information. C. Provide some advice for fishermen. D. Describe the direction of further study. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A science magazine. B. An educational blog. C. A fishing guide. D. A geography textbook. 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。 Building Skills in the Digital Age In a digital-first world, the ever-changing needs of all kinds of industries mean that no matter which field you choose, you need to be skilled at digital skills, such as using artificial intelligence (AI), digital communication and so on. ____16____.

One evening, she overheard her parents’ quarrel. “I feel I have been taken for granted for years,” said Alison’s mom angrily. “But I am always busy and struggling to support our family. When getting home, I am very tired,” said Alison’s father emotionally. What made Alison extremely sad was that she noticed her parents didn’t say a word to each other for a few days after that quarrel. Alison knew the importance of a good relationship in a family and that the little gestures of love and appreciation that used to be a regular part of her parents’ relationship had disappeared, so she said to herself, “Mom is getting neglected (忽略) by Dad, I should get involved in their relationship to make things better.” One Sunday afternoon, while walking past the local market, Alison happened to see a bouquet of roses on sale. They immediately reminded her of how long it had been since her mom received flowers the last time. An idea came to her suddenly, “A small, anonymous (匿名的) gesture might be what my mom needs to feel special again. And maybe it would spark something that would bring their relationship back to normal.” Without any delay, Alison bought the roses, wrote a simple note, and left them on their doorstep, signing it with “Your Secret Admirer”. Later, what started as a single bouquet quickly turned into a full-on event! Week after week, Alison left chocolates, handwritten letters, and little gifts on the doorstep, all in the name of the same admirer. The other evening, after yet another delivery from the “secret admirer”, Alison came home to find her parents sitting at the living room table. They looked very serious and confused. Mom’s hands were trembling slightly, and Dad stared at what Mom held. The atmosphere in the room was so strange. 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。 “Alison can you sit down for a moment?” Mom asked, eyes filled with excitement. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When hearing Alison’s explanation, Dad reached out to take her hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
