The original DALL.E was one of the first and most influential AI image generators. Earlier versions were confused by complicated subjects and requests, but DALL.E3’s “brain” has been adjusted to understand them better. Whether this technology is beneficial remains to be seen. The perfect folding smartphone Now, smartphones can fold over and wrap. However, most of these impressive designs ignore one factor: practicality. But that’s not the case with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 series, which hits a happy middle ground. Meanwhile, the core principle behind the series is to encourage you to look at the smartphone less. The pet language tutor FluentPet makes a collection of buttons, each one playing a different word when pressed by your pet. This, theoretically, enables them to learn to communicate with you. Animals will see the actions that follow after they’ve pressed a button. Your pet can thus, so the idea goes, learn to associate that button with, say, “food”. The VR headset of the future VR finally started to look like a practical business project, thanks to the launch of the Meta Quest 3. The Vision Pro is due for release in 2024 and will be pricey, but it looks likely to push VR to new heights by improving visual quality and reducing motion sickness. 1. What do we know about DALL.E3? A. It’s as widely known as ChatGPT. B. Its understanding ability has improved. C. It can’t respond to complicated requests. D. It’s the most influential image generator. 2. Which of the innovations can be quite expensive? A. FluentPet. B. Vision Pro. C. DALL.E3. D. Galaxy Z Flip5. 3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To give information. B. To make comments. C. To promote products. D. To encourage innovation. B One summer evening, my family of four dined at a charming restaurant. We were enjoying ourselves, in no hurry to leave, but after a while, the kids grew impatient as we waited for the check. “Where’s the check?” I asked. “Where’s our waiter?” my wife echoed. Eventually, I caught the attention of a different waiter. I asked if he could get our check. He disappeared. We left without paying. Before you get the wrong idea, let me explain. Our waiter turned up and told us the two gentlemen across had paid for our dinner but requested he not let us know until they had gone. They saw a happy family, the waiter explained, and simply wanted to do something nice. Those two men gave us a free meal, a warm memory and a life lesson. Always, my daughter and son recall that long-ago special dinner as part of their motivation to assist others. My wife and I have felt similarly. While the bill has been “paid forward” in many ways, I’ve always felt a proper “thank you” has not been given. Somewhere along the way, I must have stopped looking for the perfect occasion to anonymously (匿名地) say, “Put their dinner on my MasterCard.” Recently, as I was waiting for my take-out order at my favorite restaurant, a U.S. soldier dressed in an army uniform walked in. He wore a backpack weighing about 60 pounds, which is saying something, yet he effortlessly stood tall and straight. “Hi,” I said. “I want to thank you for all you do.” “I appreciate that very much, sir,” the authentic American hero humbly replied. Before I could say more, the waiter led him and his proud mother to their seat. As I watched them be seated, an idea struck me... I hoped they ordered a feast. And afterward, I hoped they had to wait a while, enjoying each other’s company even as they grew impatient, wondering where their waiter was with the check. 4. What did the two gentlemen ask the waiter to do? A. Deliver a gift to the family. B. Get the check for the family. C. Give a discount on their meal. D. Explain the truth after they left. 5. How did the family feel when they left without paying? A. Grateful and moved. B. Impatient and angry. C. Relieved and confident. D. Confused and worried. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The soldier ran out of patience. B. The waiter would pay the check. C. The author wanted to treat them. D. The restaurant offered bad service. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. An Awkward Wait B. A Check Never Found C. An Unforgettable Meal D. A Feast Finally Ordered C Balancing on one leg may sound easy, but new research says that any slight tremble or near-falls could indicate your body is aging faster than you might have hoped. According to a study published in the journal PLOS, how long you can maintain this standing-on-one-leg test indicates the speed at which your neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) sensory system, or NMSS, is declining. This system is a collection of nerves that connects your muscles to your brain, allowing your muscles to move when needed. As this system weakens, your movements and responses tend to slow down noticeably. Balancing for 30 seconds doesn’t take too much muscle strength but requires adequate neuromuscular control. As age increases, however, both of these decline, causing more swaying (摇晃) and a shorter balancing time. To measure this decline, researchers from the Mayo Clinic conducted an experiment involving 40 participants aged 50 to 80, employing the balance test to examine their ability to stand on one leg under different sensory conditions. Each participant was asked to balance for 30 seconds four times in the study: two attempts per leg, first with their eyes closed, then with them open. The findings showed that for every additional 10 years of age, swaying tends to increase by 6.3 percent if the participants’ eyes are open and 10.5 percent if their eyes are closed. The study also found that how long the participants could balance declined by 2.2 seconds per decade on their non-dominant leg and 1.7 seconds on their dominant leg. Evidence from related studies suggests that consistent practice in balance-enhancing exercises, such as Tai Chi and yoga, and regular aerobic (有氧的) activities, such as swimming and cycling, can effectively prevent this age-related decline. “Attempts to prevent or slow the loss of muscle strength and balance in older age could mean the difference between remaining functionally independent and early admission to a nursing home,” said Prof David Proctor, an aging and exercise expert at Pennsylvania State University. 8. What is a direct result of the weakening NMSS? A. Faster aging. B. Slower reaction. C. Strength loss. D. Balancing failure. 9. What can we learn from the findings of the study? A. Age has nothing to do with balance. B. Opening eyes causes more swaying. C The dominant leg ages slightly slower. D. Vision declines heavily as age increases. 10. Why does the author quote Prof David Proctor’s words? A. To support the research method. B. To explain the balance test. C. To recommend specific exercise. D. To highlight balance training. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A A balance test on aging. B. A secret of staying young. C. The concerns of the elderly. D. The difficulty in keeping balance. D Multivitamins (复合维生素) are widely consumed by humans to add to their nutritional intake. However, scientists are now exploring a new application: boosting the health of coral systems. A team of researchers has discovered that key ingredients in multivitamins can enhance the vitality of the growing coral, equipping it to resist the harmful impacts caused by ongoing climate change and remain beautiful in the deep-sea world. Coral reefs, complex structures formed over thousands of years, consist of numerous tiny marine creatures known as polyps (珊瑚虫). These organisms release a hard outer shell and are then permanently fixed in one place. Although coral polyps can be found in various ocean regions, the existence of extensive reefs is mainly limited to warm shallow waters, with the Great Barrier Reef standing as the biggest example globally. These bio-diverse ecosystems serve critical functions, from defending coastlines to providing necessary food and habitat for marine species. However, the worsening phenomenon of coral whitening, primarily driven by higher temperatures in the sea, poses a deadly threat. In response, researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have been testing a way to strengthen the corals’ immune system. Their method involved putting essential nutrients, including iron, manganese, and zinc, into small round tiles (片状材料). Young coral samples raised on these tiles showed a clear ability to absorb the micro-nutrients, resulting in a greater possibility to endure environmental pressure. Based on their promising finding, the team now intends to use the tiles on an artificial reef at the University of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. This human-made structure, designed for transplanting and raising young coral, will let it keep absorbing helpful nutrients from the material. The main goal of this effort is twofold: to offer immediate protection to sensitive shorelines and to establish a temporary shelter for coral communities, thus supporting ongoing work to restore the region’s natural reef systems, whose recovery is often held back by constant human impacts. 12. What does the underlined word “vitality” mean in paragraph 1? A. Beauty. B. Hardness. C. Diversity. D. Energy. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about coral reefs? A. Their history. B. Their functions. C. Their formation. D. Their structures. 14. Why does coral whitening happen according to the passage? A. Heavy ocean pollution. B. Lack of nutrients in oceans. C. Rising sea temperature. D. Poor immune systems of coral. 15. What do we know about the tiles? A. They help young coral to survive. B. They contribute to cooling seawater. C. They are directly applied to natural reefs. D. They are widely used in ocean protection. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all love to criticize, but we deeply hate being criticized. This contradiction can be challenging. To fit in the culture of criticism, we must adopt smarter habits of both giving and receiving critical feedback. Don’t take it personally. Without thinking twice, we often make criticism personal by focusing on the critic’s motives or seeing it as a judgment on our inherent (固有的) abilities rather than on our performance. ____16____ The solution is to consciously depersonalize it. Train yourself to assess the feedback purely on the facts of the matter at hand — nothing more, nothing less. ____17____ Once you stop taking it personally, you can rethink others’ criticism as valuable insider information. ____18____ Thus, you will get a potential opportunity to correct course and improve. Studies have shown that students who learn to actively seek and use feedback consistently achieve better grades and develop stronger study habits. Focus on the behavior, not the person. When you are the one giving criticism, remember that the goal is to be constructive, not critical. This means targeting the specific behavior or outcome that needs change. ____19____ By doing so, you ensure your advice is respectful and much more likely to be accepted and acted upon. Choose the right setting wisely. The environment where you give feedback significantly influences its impact. Scholarly research demonstrated that public praise is more motivating than private praise, while negative feedback delivered in private was more effective. ____20____ A. Focus on the positive feedback B. View feedback as a chance to grow. C. The approach shifts the focus from blame to solution. D. It helps you know how people think about your actions. E. Moreover, the frequency of criticism affects its effectiveness. F. Therefore, always carefully consider where to deliver feedback. G. The natural reaction can prevent us from benefiting from criticism. 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。 There comes a time for every family when roles reverse (颠倒) and parents have to listen to their children. Mine arrived recently when my wife and I ____21____ with our elder son Nathaniel in Los Angeles, our first visit in years and the longest since he moved west in 2014. A whole week under his ____22____! On our first night, Nathaniel warned me ____23____ not to leave the water running when washing hands. I ____24____ — drought is a major concern in California. But there were more ____25____ to follow: only one pump of hand sanitizer (洗手液), and no taking extra paper towels to ____26____ the kitchen counter. I was told to use a dishcloth instead. At first, I wondered how I’d raised such a ____27____ kid. Then I remembered my own words to him when he was a kid, “Do as we ask till you have your own home”. Now ____28____ had come. Despite my unwillingness, I ____29____ Nathaniel’s regulations, but occasionally slipped back into my old _____30_____, like using a few extra paper towels secretly. There were _____31_____ too: he cleaned dishes, planned outings to places like the Autry Museum, and drove us everywhere, _____32_____ me from LA traffic. When I crossed a stretch of rocks at El Matador Beach on our last afternoon Nathaniel _____33_____, “You did it! I’m proud!” Suddenly, I realized role reversal isn’t about payback at all; it’s the _____34_____ proof that the care we pour into our kids _____35_____ and blossoms with them, coming full circle to wrap around us when we need it most. 21. A. stayed B. worked C. played D. talked 22. A. bed B. room C. roof D. table 23. A. proudly B. casually C. eventually D. repeatedly 24. A. hesitated B. understood C. apologized D. changed 25.

A. sparing B. hiding C. separating D. defending 33. A. stated B. explained C. whispered D. exclaimed 34. A. hardest B. bravest C. sweetest D. smartest 35. A. rises B. boils C. fades D. grows 第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 From Oct 16 to 19, the Beijing Book Fair transformed the National Tennis Center from a venue of athletic competition into a celebration of the mind. Beijing’s ____36____ (enthusiastic) for reading extends far beyond this annual event, however. For example, the “Temple of Earth and Me” Beijing Book Fair ____37____ (hold) twice a year by local people. And the city’s “15-minute reading circle” now offers access ____38____ 6,026 public libraries and reading rooms as well as 228 self-service libraries, ____39____ (reach) communities and villages across Beijing. Independent bookstores have also become important threads (线) in the city’s literary fabric, ____40____ (flexible) weaving (编织) Beijing’s rich reading culture into its everyday life. One such example is Possibly Books, ____41____ bookstore in Chaomian Hutong, founded in 2023 by Zhao Chen, who left a state-owned company to return to his childhood neighborhood. Zhao designed interactive areas ____42____ visitors can share their thoughts on books and poetry, and also leave their thoughts in notebooks as marks of ____43____ (them). Beyond the shop itself, Zhao organizes city walks that follow literary threads, guiding visitors through cultural ____44____ (landmark) and the surrounding hutong.

I glanced out the window and saw our neighbor Lexi slowly walking back to her house across the road. My intuition (直觉) as a mother told me this situation might need some direction. “Rikki, come here. I need some help with dinner.” She came over to me with a stubborn look — the look kids have when they know they are wrong but have convinced themselves they are right. “I noticed that Lexi came over but didn’t stay long. I’ve noticed that a lot. She is your age and in your class at school. Why doesn’t she stay longer?” I watched her out of the corner of my eye as I continued to prepare food. “I don’t like her,” Rikki complained. “I wish she would stop coming over here all the time. Her dress looks ugly and her hair is always messy. None of us likes her.” I knew that “none of us” meant the popular crowd she ran with. And it was a lot for a fourth-grader to fit in with her peers. It might be a shocking wrongdoing if one of the girls in that crowd knew Lexi was playing with Rikki. “That’s not her fault, Rikki. I don’t know what her family is like, but maybe she doesn’t have anyone to help her. Some kids don’t have the extra things that you and your friends have. However, that doesn’t make them less worthy.” Rikki replied that she knew that, and those things were not the real issue. “I just don’t like to play with her, Mom. She doesn’t like to do the same things that I do.” “Maybe you haven’t discovered them yet.” I encouraged her, “Why not invite her to our barbecue and give your friendship a chance?” She hesitated for a while and finally nodded. 注意： 1．续写字数应为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She moved slowly towards Lexi’s house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the barbecue, Rikki walked Lexi home with delight. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绵阳高中2024级第三学期期末教学质量测试 英语 本试卷分为试题卷和答题卡两部分，其中试题卷由选择题和非选择题组成，共10页;答题卡共2页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的班级、姓名用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写清楚，同时用2B铅笔将考号准确填涂在“考号”栏目内。 2．选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡对应题目标号的位置上，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后再选涂其它答案;非选择题用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写在答题卡的对应框内，超出答题区域书写的答案无效;在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 3．考试结束后将答题卡收回。 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1．What will the weather be like in the afternoon?

They saw a happy family, the waiter explained, and simply wanted to do something nice. Those two men gave us a free meal, a warm memory and a life lesson. Always, my daughter and son recall that long-ago special dinner as part of their motivation to assist others. My wife and I have felt similarly. While the bill has been “paid forward” in many ways, I’ve always felt a proper “thank you” has not been given. Somewhere along the way, I must have stopped looking for the perfect occasion to anonymously (匿名地) say, “Put their dinner on my MasterCard.” Recently, as I was waiting for my take-out order at my favorite restaurant, a U.S. soldier dressed in an army uniform walked in. He wore a backpack weighing about 60 pounds, which is saying something, yet he effortlessly stood tall and straight. “Hi,” I said. “I want to thank you for all you do.” “I appreciate that very much, sir,” the authentic American hero humbly replied. Before I could say more, the waiter led him and his proud mother to their seat. As I watched them be seated, an idea struck me... I hoped they ordered a feast. And afterward, I hoped they had to wait a while, enjoying each other’s company even as they grew impatient, wondering where their waiter was with the check. 4. What did the two gentlemen ask the waiter to do? A. Deliver a gift to the family. B. Get the check for the family. C Give a discount on their meal. D. Explain the truth after they left. 5. How did the family feel when they left without paying? A. Grateful and moved. B. Impatient and angry. C. Relieved and confident. D. Confused and worried. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The soldier ran out of patience. B. The waiter would pay the check. C. The author wanted to treat them. D. The restaurant offered bad service. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. An Awkward Wait B. A Check Never Found C. An Unforgettable Meal D. A Feast Finally Ordered 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者一家就餐时被两位绅士悄悄买单，这件事带来温暖与启发，最终作者也想为一位军人及其母亲做同样的事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Our waiter turned up and told us the two gentlemen across had paid for our dinner but requested he not let us know until they had gone. (我们的服务员过来告诉我们，对面的两位绅士已经为我们付了餐费，但要求他等他们走了之后再告诉我们。)”可知，两位绅士要求服务员在他们离开后再把为作者一家买单的真相说出来。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“Those two men gave us a free meal, a warm memory and a life lesson. (那两个人为我们提供了免费的晚餐，留下了温暖的回忆，也给我们上了人生一课。)”以及第八段中的“While the bill has been “paid forward” in many ways, I’ve always felt a proper “thank you” has not been given. (尽管这份恩情早已以各种方式传递了下去，但我总觉得，一直没能好好说一声谢谢。)”可知，作者一家对于被陌生绅士买单这件事充满感激，也被这份善意所打动。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I hoped they ordered a feast. And afterward, I hoped they had to wait a while, enjoying each other’s company even as they grew impatient, wondering where their waiter was with the check. (我希望他们点了一大桌菜。之后，我希望他们也等上一会儿，享受彼此的陪伴，即便会变得不耐烦，疑惑着服务员拿着账单在哪里。)”可知，作者的想法和自己当初被买单时的经历相呼应，由此可推断作者想要为这位军人和他的母亲支付餐费。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头以作者一家就餐时迟迟等不到账单展开，后续得知是被他人悄悄买单，最后作者看到军人和其母亲后，也想悄悄为他们买单，让他们也体验一次等不到账单的经历，“一张从未找到的账单”贯穿全文，最能概括文章核心内容，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 C Balancing on one leg may sound easy, but new research says that any slight tremble or near-falls could indicate your body is aging faster than you might have hoped. According to a study published in the journal PLOS, how long you can maintain this standing-on-one-leg test indicates the speed at which your neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) sensory system, or NMSS, is declining. This system is a collection of nerves that connects your muscles to your brain, allowing your muscles to move when needed. As this system weakens, your movements and responses tend to slow down noticeably. Balancing for 30 seconds doesn’t take too much muscle strength but requires adequate neuromuscular control. As age increases, however, both of these decline, causing more swaying (摇晃) and a shorter balancing time. To measure this decline, researchers from the Mayo Clinic conducted an experiment involving 40 participants aged 50 to 80, employing the balance test to examine their ability to stand on one leg under different sensory conditions. Each participant was asked to balance for 30 seconds four times in the study: two attempts per leg, first with their eyes closed, then with them open. The findings showed that for every additional 10 years of age, swaying tends to increase by 6.3 percent if the participants’ eyes are open and 10.5 percent if their eyes are closed. The study also found that how long the participants could balance declined by 2.2 seconds per decade on their non-dominant leg and 1.7 seconds on their dominant leg. Evidence from related studies suggests that consistent practice in balance-enhancing exercises, such as Tai Chi and yoga, and regular aerobic (有氧的) activities, such as swimming and cycling, can effectively prevent this age-related decline. “Attempts to prevent or slow the loss of muscle strength and balance in older age could mean the difference between remaining functionally independent and early admission to a nursing home,” said Prof David Proctor, an aging and exercise expert at Pennsylvania State University. 8. What is a direct result of the weakening NMSS? A. Faster aging. B. Slower reaction. C. Strength loss. D. Balancing failure. 9. What can we learn from the findings of the study? A. Age has nothing to do with balance. B. Opening eyes causes more swaying. C The dominant leg ages slightly slower. D. Vision declines heavily as age increases. 10. Why does the author quote Prof David Proctor’s words? A. To support the research method. B. To explain the balance test. C. To recommend specific exercise. D. To highlight balance training. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. A balance test on aging. B. A secret of staying young. C. The concerns of the elderly. D. The difficulty in keeping balance. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍单腿平衡测试可反映人体神经肌肉感知系统的衰退速度，还展示了相关研究结果及预防该衰退的方法和重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As this system weakens, your movements and responses tend to slow down noticeably. (当这个系统变弱时，你的动作和反应往往会明显变慢。)”可知，神经肌肉感知系统变弱的直接结果就是人的动作和反应速度明显变慢。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The study also found that how long the participants could balance declined by 2.2 seconds per decade on their non-dominant leg and 1.7 seconds on their dominant leg.(研究还发现，参与者非优势腿的平衡保持时间每十年减少2.2秒，优势腿则减少1.7秒。)”可知，优势腿的平衡时间衰退幅度更小，由此可推断，人的优势腿老化速度稍慢。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Evidence from related studies suggests that consistent practice in balance-enhancing exercises, such as Tai Chi and yoga, and regular aerobic (有氧的) activities, such as swimming and cycling, can effectively prevent this age-related decline. “Attempts to prevent or slow the loss of muscle strength and balance in older age could mean the difference between remaining functionally independent and early admission to a nursing home,” said Prof David Proctor, an aging and exercise expert at Pennsylvania State University. (相关研究的证据表明，坚持进行太极、瑜伽等增强平衡能力的锻炼，以及游泳、骑行等常规的有氧运动，能有效预防这种与年龄相关的身体机能衰退。宾夕法尼亚州立大学研究衰老和运动的专家大卫·普罗克特教授说：“努力预防或减缓老年人肌肉力量和平衡能力的丧失，可能意味着能保持生活自理和提前进入养老院的区别。”)”可知，作者先指出平衡训练能预防相关衰退，再引用教授的话说明平衡能力对老年人的重要性，其目的是为了强调平衡训练的重要意义。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇指出单腿平衡的状态能反映身体老化速度，接着介绍相关研究表明单腿平衡测试可体现神经肌肉感知系统的衰退速度，随后展示了该测试的具体研究结果，最后说明平衡训练可预防相关衰退并强调其重要性，由此可知，全文主要介绍的是与人体老化相关的平衡测试。故选A项。 D Multivitamins (复合维生素) are widely consumed by humans to add to their nutritional intake. However, scientists are now exploring a new application: boosting the health of coral systems. A team of researchers has discovered that key ingredients in multivitamins can enhance the vitality of the growing coral, equipping it to resist the harmful impacts caused by ongoing climate change and remain beautiful in the deep-sea world. Coral reefs, complex structures formed over thousands of years, consist of numerous tiny marine creatures known as polyps (珊瑚虫). These organisms release a hard outer shell and are then permanently fixed in one place. Although coral polyps can be found in various ocean regions, the existence of extensive reefs is mainly limited to warm shallow waters, with the Great Barrier Reef standing as the biggest example globally. These bio-diverse ecosystems serve critical functions, from defending coastlines to providing necessary food and habitat for marine species. However, the worsening phenomenon of coral whitening, primarily driven by higher temperatures in the sea, poses a deadly threat. In response, researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have been testing a way to strengthen the corals’ immune system. Their method involved putting essential nutrients, including iron, manganese, and zinc, into small round tiles (片状材料). Young coral samples raised on these tiles showed a clear ability to absorb the micro-nutrients, resulting in a greater possibility to endure environmental pressure. Based on their promising finding, the team now intends to use the tiles on an artificial reef at the University of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. This human-made structure, designed for transplanting and raising young coral, will let it keep absorbing helpful nutrients from the material. The main goal of this effort is twofold: to offer immediate protection to sensitive shorelines and to establish a temporary shelter for coral communities, thus supporting ongoing work to restore the region’s natural reef systems, whose recovery is often held back by constant human impacts. 12. What does the underlined word “vitality” mean in paragraph 1? A. Beauty. B. Hardness. C. Diversity. D. Energy. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about coral reefs? A. Their history. B. Their functions. C. Their formation. D. Their structures. 14. Why does coral whitening happen according to the passage? A. Heavy ocean pollution. B. Lack of nutrients in oceans. C. Rising sea temperature. D. Poor immune systems of coral. 15. What do we know about the tiles? A. They help young coral to survive. B. They contribute to cooling seawater. C. They are directly applied to natural reefs. D. They are widely used in ocean protection. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家发现复合维生素中的关键成分可助力珊瑚生长，还讲解珊瑚礁的形成与作用，说明其面临的威胁及研究人员的保护和修复措施。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“A team of researchers has discovered that key ingredients in multivitamins can enhance the vitality of the growing coral, equipping it to resist the harmful impacts caused by ongoing climate change and remain beautiful in the deep-sea world.(一组研究人员发现，复合维生素中的关键成分能增强生长中的珊瑚的vitality，使其能够抵御持续的气候变化带来的有害影响，在深海世界中保持美丽。)”可知，复合维生素的关键成分能让珊瑚抵御气候变化的伤害，结合语境可推测该词指珊瑚的活力、生命力，energy意为能量、活力，与之相符。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Coral reefs, complex structures formed over thousands of years, consist of numerous tiny marine creatures known as polyps (珊瑚虫). These organisms release a hard outer shell and are then permanently fixed in one place. Although coral polyps can be found in various ocean regions, the existence of extensive reefs is mainly limited to warm shallow waters, with the Great Barrier Reef standing as the biggest example globally.(珊瑚礁是历经数千年形成的复杂结构，由众多被称为珊瑚虫的微小海洋生物组成。这些生物会分泌出坚硬的外壳，然后永久固定在一个地方。虽然在多个海洋区域都能发现珊瑚虫，但大规模珊瑚礁的存在主要局限于温暖的浅水区，而大堡礁便是全球范围内最典型的例证。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了珊瑚礁的构成、形成过程以及生长的环境，核心是讲解珊瑚礁的形成相关内容。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, the worsening phenomenon of coral whitening, primarily driven by higher temperatures in the sea, poses a deadly threat.(然而，主要由海水温度升高引发的珊瑚白化现象不断加剧，这对珊瑚礁构成了致命威胁。)”可知，珊瑚白化现象发生的主要原因是海水温度的上升。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their method involved putting essential nutrients, including iron, manganese, and zinc, into small round tiles (片状材料). Young coral samples raised on these tiles showed a clear ability to absorb the micro-nutrients, resulting in a greater possibility to endure environmental pressure.(他们的方法是将铁、锰、锌等必需营养素融入圆形的小片状材料中。在这些材料上培育的幼年珊瑚样本表现出明显的吸收微量元素的能力，从而更有可能承受环境压力。)”可知，这种片状材料能让幼年珊瑚吸收微量元素，提升其承受环境压力的能力，帮助幼年珊瑚存活。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all love to criticize, but we deeply hate being criticized. This contradiction can be challenging. To fit in the culture of criticism, we must adopt smarter habits of both giving and receiving critical feedback. Don’t take it personally. Without thinking twice, we often make criticism personal by focusing on the critic’s motives or seeing it as a judgment on our inherent (固有的) abilities rather than on our performance. ____16____ The solution is to consciously depersonalize it. Train yourself to assess the feedback purely on the facts of the matter at hand — nothing more, nothing less. ____17____ Once you stop taking it personally, you can rethink others’ criticism as valuable insider information. ____18____ Thus, you will get a potential opportunity to correct course and improve. Studies have shown that students who learn to actively seek and use feedback consistently achieve better grades and develop stronger study habits. Focus on the behavior, not the person. When you are the one giving criticism, remember that the goal is to be constructive, not critical. This means targeting the specific behavior or outcome that needs change. ____19____ By doing so, you ensure your advice is respectful and much more likely to be accepted and acted upon. Choose the right setting wisely. The environment where you give feedback significantly influences its impact. Scholarly research demonstrated that public praise is more motivating than private praise, while negative feedback delivered in private was more effective. ____20____ A. Focus on the positive feedback B. View feedback as a chance to grow. C. The approach shifts the focus from blame to solution. D. It helps you know how people think about your actions. E. Moreover, the frequency of criticism affects its effectiveness. F. Therefore, always carefully consider where to deliver feedback. G. The natural reaction can prevent us from benefiting from criticism. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍应对批评文化的方法，包括接受批评不主观、视其为成长机会，以及提出批评聚焦行为、选对场合的技巧。 16题详解】 根据前文“Without thinking twice, we often make criticism personal by focusing on the critic’s motives or seeing it as a judgment on our inherent (固有的) abilities rather than on our performance.

I glanced out the window and saw our neighbor Lexi slowly walking back to her house across the road. My intuition (直觉) as a mother told me this situation might need some direction. “Rikki, come here. I need some help with dinner.” She came over to me with a stubborn look — the look kids have when they know they are wrong but have convinced themselves they are right. “I noticed that Lexi came over but didn’t stay long. I’ve noticed that a lot. She is your age and in your class at school. Why doesn’t she stay longer?” I watched her out of the corner of my eye as I continued to prepare food. “I don’t like her,” Rikki complained. “I wish she would stop coming over here all the time. Her dress looks ugly and her hair is always messy. None of us likes her.” I knew that “none of us” meant the popular crowd she ran with. And it was a lot for a fourth-grader to fit in with her peers. It might be a shocking wrongdoing if one of the girls in that crowd knew Lexi was playing with Rikki. “That’s not her fault, Rikki. I don’t know what her family is like, but maybe she doesn’t have anyone to help her. Some kids don’t have the extra things that you and your friends have. However, that doesn’t make them less worthy.” Rikki replied that she knew that, and those things were not the real issue. “I just don’t like to play with her, Mom. She doesn’t like to do the same things that I do.” “Maybe you haven’t discovered them yet.” I encouraged her, “Why not invite her to our barbecue and give your friendship a chance?” She hesitated for a while and finally nodded. 注意： 1．续写字数应为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She moved slowly towards Lexi’s house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the barbecue, Rikki walked Lexi home with delight. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： She moved slowly towards Lexi’s house. It took her 5 minutes or so to cross the road, and she paced back and forth before finally ringing the bell. To my great joy, Rikki managed to invite Lexi to come over. To help them connect, I suggested they play in the yard where there was a swing. A little shy and reserved though the girls were at first, they soon filled the air with talking and giggling. Rikki had put away all previous distaste. Then, we all gathered around the picnic table for the barbecue, Rikki and Lexi chatting all the time. After the barbecue, Rikki walked Lexi home with delight. She soon rushed back to me, brimming with excitement, “We had so much fun today, Mom! We’ve found out we both love the same books and...” I told her how proud I was of her and seized the moment to share thoughts, “Sweetheart, your warmth and kindness must have lit up Lexi’s world. That’s the power of goodwill.” Rikki nodded thoughtfully, a knowing look on her face. From then on, Lexi became a frequent guest in our home, marking Rikki’s choice of kindness over harm. 【解析】 【导语】本文以女儿瑞奇对邻居莱克西的态度转变为线索展开，讲述了作者在准备周六晚上的烧烤时，发现女儿瑞奇气冲冲地跑回家，而邻居女孩莱克西则独自离开。询问后得知瑞奇因为莱克西穿着朴素、发型凌乱且兴趣不同而不喜欢她，还拒绝和她玩耍。作者耐心劝说瑞奇，引导她理解莱克西，瑞奇最终犹豫着答应邀请莱克西来参加烧烤的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她慢慢地朝莱克西家走去。”可知，第一段可描写瑞奇犹豫着敲响莱克西家的门，成功邀请她来烧烤，两人起初害羞，后来一起玩耍、聊天，相处融洽。 ②由第二段首句内容“烧烤结束后，瑞奇开心地送莱克西回家。”可知，第二段可描写瑞奇回家后兴奋地和作者分享相处的快乐，作者为她骄傲并传递善意的意义，此后莱克西常来家里，瑞奇学会了以善意待人。 2. 续写线索：邀请莱克西烧烤——两人相处融洽——送莱克西回家——分享快乐——领悟善意——成为好友 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①踱步：pace/ stroll/wander ②邀请：invite/ask over ③聚集：gather/get together 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/joy/thrill ②拘谨的：reserved/restrained 【点睛】[高分句型1] A little shy and reserved though the girls were at first, they soon filled the air with talking and giggling.（运用了though引导让步状语从句的半倒装结构） [高分句型2] From then on, Lexi became a frequent guest in our home, marking Rikki’s choice of kindness over harm.（运用了现在分词短语作结果状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
