B Nicolas Vaagen was a computer science student in 2020 when a car crash left him with a brain injury.Vaagen found himself annoyed with some of the tasks many people without disabilities consider routine-things like clipping()his nails and reading books.He also found there are not always easily accessible tools for those tasks. He found out about Makers Making Change,a non-profit that uses technology to help people with disabilities.Seeing it offers financial aid for people to buy 3D printers,he applied and got accepted.At first,Vaagen relied on design drawings provided by it.The first thing he printed was a stand that he can put a set of nail clippers in,making them easier to use with his right hand, which lacks flexibility."Getting that specific thing was great,because it gave me greater self- reliance.”he said. Vaagen wanted to go further by designing tools himself.He acquired some 3D modelling software and started making his own designs.His first creation was designed to help people with double vision focus on specific lines of text.It didn't work great,but he didn't lose heart.He's gone on to design and print various tools,from an adapter(that allows him to play Nintendo Switch with one hand,to stands for people unable to hold playing cards.He stressed that tools like these,for life's less critical tasks,are still important. Vaagen's latest project is an adapter that will make using doorknobs()easier for a woman with joint pain.He wants to get the word out:"I have more desire to work on things than I have things to work on.I'm looking for more people to reach out to me and I'll work with you." 高二英语第4页（共12页） 24.Why does the author mention the tasks Vaagen failed to complete in paragraph 1? A.To show his bad luck after the crash. B.To encourage more medical research. C.To ask for donations for the disabled. D.To explain his need for assistive tools. 25.How did Vaagen's first printed stand help him? A.It enabled his hand to relax. B.It raised his 3D printing interest. C.It increased his independence. D.It brought him financial support. 26.What can we infer about Vaagen's self-designed tools from the last two paragraphs? A.They turn out largely ineffective. B.They cover various needs. C.They free disabled people from aches. D.They target life's essential tasks. 27.Which of the following best describes Vaagen according to the text? A.Knowledgeable and humorous. B.Determined and innovative. C.Independent and inefficient. D.Generous and demanding. C In a world overflowing with information,it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something.Whether it's skipping a follow-up doctor's visit or refusing to read a disturbing news article,.this tendency(倾向)has a name:the“Ostrich Effect.”Like the bird burying its head in the sand,we sometimes choose ignorance over knowledge when the truth feels uncomfortable. But when does this habit begin?According to a study led by scholar Radhika,it begins earlier than many might expect.The research found that while 5-and 6-year-olds are still eager seekers of information,children between ages 7 and 10 begin showing clear signs of avoidance. In one experiment,children were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice:Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth?Younger children wanted to know-good or bad,the information itself was exciting. Older children,however,hesitated.They were much less interested in hearing about the disadvantages of their favorite treat,though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad. This transformation suggests something deep:children begin to manage their emotions by controlling the information they let in.Where curiosity once dominated,self-protection begins to take root.So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders?The answer lies in emotions.Information often carries consequences for how we feel.News about our health, abilities,or beliefs can generate anxiety,depression or shame.By avoiding knowledge,people protect themselves,at least in the short term,from negative emotions. 高二英语第5页（共12页） Yet when people purposely ignore perspectives that challenge their worldview,they lose opportunities for growth and connection.This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to value curiosity but also to develop resilience()when facing uncomfortable truths.Learning to tolerate uncertainty and to value difficult information could help prevent avoidance from hardening into adulthood. 28.Which of the following tendencies illustrates the"Ostrich Effect"? A.Reading disturbing news daily. B.Skipping a routine physical examination. C.Scheduling a follow-up meeting with a doctor. D.Ignoring the presence of others when buried in books. 29.What can be learned about the older children in the experiment? A.They readily watched the video about sweets B.They wondered about the harm of the candies. C.They denied the negative effects of their favourite treat. D.They tended to avoid bad news about their desired candy. 30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The impact of negative emotions on children's curiosity. B.The supporting evidence for children's habitual avoidance. C.The explanation for children's change into information avoiders. D.The reason for children's doubt about uncomfortable information. 31.What should be taught to children according to the research? A.To choose growth over comfort. B.To commit themselves to finding the truth. C.To prioritize knowledge over safety. D.To tolerate uncertainty and misinformation. 0 A recent sharp rise in ocean temperatures has caused the widespread bleaching()and death of warm-water corals around the world,causing the first climate tipping point for one of Earth's ecosystems,scientists have declared. Warm-water coral reefs(support up to one-third of all known sea life and provide food,coastal protection,and a source of income for up to a billion people.Yet,corals are highly sensitive to changes in water temperature.Record-breaking global temperatures documented since 2023 have pushed ocean heat levels to new highs,causing a mass bleaching event that has affected over 80%of the world's corals.Bleaching is when corals force out the plants living in their cells in response to high water temperatures,which turns them white.This leaves corals more likely to 高二英语第6页（共12页） get diseases,and long-lasting bleaching can kill them. Academic estimates suggest the thermal(limit of warm-water corals is reached when global atmospheric temperatures hit 1.2C above pre-industrial levels,with an upper ceiling of 1.5C.In 2024,global average temperatures went above 1.5C above pre-industrial levels for the first time in recorded human history,an event that has pushed the world's coral reefs beyond the limits of their bearing capacity,according to Tim Lenton who led the report."A majority of coral reefs are under risk of death or bleaching.The best hope of saving the world's warm water corals from almost complete extinction now lies in bringing global average temperatures down to 1.2C above pre-industrial levels as soon as possible,"he says,"Whether we can achieve this goal- which goes well beyond the demands of hitting even the 1.5C temperature target-is a separate question.” Terry Hughes at James Cook University in Australia warns there are now "almost no unbleached reefs left anywhere in the world".But the situation can still be eased."Where coral reefs end up in the next few decades is under our control,if global greenhouse gas release is rapidly cut down,”he says. 32.What is a possible result of coral bleaching? A.A higher risk of diseases for plants. B.Reduction in the number of sea species. C.A sharp rise in ocean water temperatures.D.Disappearance of global coastal protection. 33.What does Tim Lenton think of the 1.2C temperature control goal? A.Achievable. B.Meaningless. C.Ambitious D.Impossible. 34.What is Terry Hughes's suggestion mainly about? A.A demand to make stricter laws. B.An appeal for immediate action. C.A way to reduce greenhouse gases. D.A possible direction for further research. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Coral Reefs at a Tipping Point B.The Boiling Point of Coral Bleaching C.Ocean Temperatures at Breaking Point D.A Turning Point of Ecosystem Tension 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，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dopamine()is the brain's reward chemical.It boosts your mood,energy,and often your motivation.For instance,you get a rush of dopamine in response to pleasurable activities like eating your favorite food or winning a game.36 Here are several actionable ways. 高二英语第7页（共12页） Set goals and reward yourself for achieving them.37When you are approaching a reward,such as the achievement of a goal,your body releases dopamine.Once you set a goal,plan out small steps.For example,if you want to learn to paint,you could set small goals like get supplies,set up a workstation,and practice painting for 30 minutes every day. 38 Sunlight likely plays a role in how many dopamine receptors are available to "catch"the dopamine.In other words,while it doesn't increase dopamine itself,it increases the amount your system is making use of,offering similar benefits. Meditate()when you want to release dopamine.True meditation relaxes you completely, to the point that you have less of a desire to act temporarily.39 Try practicing meditation 2 to 3 times a day.Even simple meditation like deep breathing counts. Practice gratitude()and thankfulness.Gratitude is linked to the release of dopamine in your brain.40 Just being thankful for a good meal and expressing it is a way to release dopamine.You can also try keeping a gratitude journal,where you write down 5 things you're thankful for each day. A.Get enough sunshine daily to build up your body. B.The key here is linking goal progress to dopamine release. C.This is because breaking big tasks into small ones works better. D.Spend more time in sunlight to increase your dopamine sensitivity. E.But how exactly can you keep this"reward chemical"at a good level? F.The more grateful you are,the more likely your brain is to release dopamine. G.In turn,your body may release dopamine in response,as a way of encouraging action. 第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分35分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项。 At 16,I had a job interview at a fast food restaurant.It went well and the manager seemed ready to give me a 41.But before I left,he asked me to try out 42 a customer.
