龙川一中2025-2026学年度第一学期高二年级期末考试 英语试卷 答卷时间：120分钟 满分：130分 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The National Teen Book Fairs across the US will bring amazing author meetups, book-themed activities, and the latest young adult reads — perfect for every book fan. Picking the Best Fair for You East Coast fairs are known for hosting popular young adult authors, where you can chat and get books signed. West Coast fairs focus on interactive workshops, such as short story writing or book cover design. Check dates first: Some last just 3 days, others a whole week. Think about what matters most to you — meeting authors, trying workshops, or discovering new books — before you decide. Tickets and Costs Buy tickets early: Fairs offer discounts for advance purchases. If you want to visit more than once, get multi-day passes — they’re cheaper than buying single-day tickets each time. Some fairs have preview night tickets (more expensive, but let you enter early to avoid crowds and grab limited-edition books). Many also include free small workshops (like poetry writing) in the entry price — no extra cost Travel Tips If you’re flying to a fair in another city, take time to compare prices at different airports nearby. For example, a fair in Chicago might be easy to reach from both O’ Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport, and one could have cheaper flights than the other. Renting a car can be helpful too, since it lets you go to the fair whenever you want and even explore the city’s local bookstores after. But remember: Parking at the fair venues can be hard to find, so arrive early to get a spot, or ask if the fair offers free shuttle buses from nearby subway stations. 1. How should one choose a book fair according to the text? A. By comparing ticket prices. B. By evaluating personal needs. C. By considering travel distance. D. By checking author popularity. 2. What is the advantage of early ticket purchase? A. Obtaining price reductions. B. Entering the fair before others. C. Getting limited-edition books. D. Guaranteeing more workshops. 3. What can we say about fair transportation? A. It involves costly shuttles. B. It always proves convenient. C. It ignores airport choices. D. It demands advance planning. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了参加青少年书展的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Think about what matters most to you — meeting authors, trying workshops, or discovering new books — before you decide. (在你做决定之前，想想什么对你来说最重要——会见作家，参加研讨会，或者发现新书。)”可知选择书展应该基于个人需要。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Buy tickets early: Fairs offer discounts for advance purchases. (提前购票：展会为提前购票提供折扣。)”可知，尽早购票的好处是可以获得价格优惠。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you’re flying to a fair in another city, take time to compare prices at different airports nearby. (如果你要飞往另一个城市的展会，花点时间比较一下附近不同机场的价格。)”和“Renting a car can be helpful too, since it lets you go to the fair whenever you want and even explore the city’s local bookstores after. But remember: Parking at the fair venues can be hard to find, so arrive early to get a spot, or ask if the fair offers free shuttle buses from nearby subway stations. (租一辆车也很有帮助，因为它可以让你随时去展会，甚至可以探索城市当地的书店。但请记住：在展会现场很难找到停车位，所以要提前到，或者询问展会是否提供附近地铁站的免费班车。)”可知，关于书展交通，需要提前计划。故选D。 B In the mid-20th century, maps of the world showed continents surrounded by vast, featureless oceans. Beneath the waves, the ocean floor was largely unknown. That all changed thanks to the work of Marie Tharp, a pioneering cartographer and geologist. In the 1940s, few women were accepted in science. Tharp, however, was determined to make her mark. She partnered with oceanographer Bruce Heezen, who collected sonar (声呐) data from ships that crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The data was just a string of numbers and graphs — without someone to translate it into a visual format, it was difficult to interpret. That was where Tharp came in. She began plotting thousands of data points, a painstaking process that required a mix of mathematical skill and artistic intuition. In the process of her mapping, Tharp discovered the central valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a place where the ocean floor was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind of evidence that could support the controversial (争议的) theory of continental drift, which was largely dismissed by the scientific community at the time. Convincing the scientific community would prove difficult, since many geologists had long believed that the ocean floor was flat and featureless. Tharp and Heezen turned to art to create visual representations of the ocean floor. This produced stunning maps that brought Tharp’s findings to life in a way that no scientific paper could. The beauty of these maps captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike. Tharp’s maps, and the evidence they provided, became a cornerstone of the modern understanding of geology. Her work proved that the ocean floor was not static (静态的) but a dynamic, changing landscape. For many years, Tharp’s contributions were overshadowed by her male colleagues — it was Bruce Heezen’s name that often appeared on scientific papers. Tharp worked behind the scenes,receiving little recognition for her groundbreaking work. Today, satellite and sonar technology enable us to map the ocean floor with incredible precision, but none of this would have been possible without Tharp’s pioneering efforts. 4. What underlying reason motivated Tharp’s commitment to science? A. A request from Heezen. B. A need to store sonar data. C. A belief in continental drift. D. A desire to establish herself. 5. Why was Tharp’s discovery of the central valley significant? A. It backed a then-dismissed theory. B. It showed sonar data was unreliable. C. It confirmed the ocean floor was flat. D. It questioned a once-popular technology. 6. How did Tharp and Heezen make Tharp’s findings widely accepted? A. By giving public lectures. B. By visualizing data points. C. By consulting geology experts. D. By publishing scientific papers. 7. How was Tharp’s work treated by her contemporaries? A. It was credited to others. B. It was viewed as accidental. C. It was briefly acknowledged. D. It was ignored as lacking evidence. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍20世纪中期，Marie Tharp绘制大西洋海底地图，发现大西洋中脊的中央山谷，支持大陆漂移说，其成果成了现代地质学的基石，虽曾被忽视，却具开创性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the 1940s, few women were accepted in science. Tharp, however, was determined to make her mark. (在20世纪40年代，很少有女性被科学界接受。然而， Tharp决心要留下自己的印记)”可知，想要确立自身地位的愿望促使Tharp投身于科学事业。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the process of her mapping, Tharp discovered the central valley of the Mid-AtlanticRidge, a place where the ocean floor was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind of evidence that could support the controversial (争议的) theory of continental drift, which was largely dismissed by the scientific community at the time.(在绘制地图的过程中，萨普发现了大西洋中脊的中央山谷，在那里海底正在分裂。这正是能支持有争议的大陆漂移理论的证据，该理论在当时基本上被科学界所忽视)”可知，Tharp关于中央山谷的发现之所以重要是因为它为一个争议的理论提供了证据。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Tharp and Heezen turned to art to create visual representations of the ocean floor. This produced stunning maps that brought Tharp’s findings to life in a way that no scientific paper could. The beauty of these maps captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike. Tharp’s maps, and the evidence they provided, became a cornerstone of the modern understanding of geology.(Tharp和Heezen转向艺术来创造海底的视觉表现。这产生了令人惊叹的地图，以一种任何科学论文都无法做到的方式，使萨普的发现栩栩如生。这些地图的美丽俘获了科学家和公众的想象力。萨普的地图和它们提供的证据，成为现代地质学理解的基石)”可知，Tharp and Heezen通过让数据可视化，使得Tharp的发现被广泛接受。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For many years, Tharp’s contributions were overshadowed by her male colleagues — it was Bruce Heezen’s name that often appeared on scientific papers. Tharp worked behind the scenes, receiving little recognition for her groundbreaking work.(多年来，萨普的贡献被她的男性同事所掩盖——Bruce Heezen的名字经常出现在科学论文上。萨普在幕后工作，她的开创性工作几乎没有得到认可)”推知，同时代的人将Tharp的成就归功于他人。故选A。 C In less than two months, a newly opened minimarket in a remote village in Xigaze City, southwest China's Xizang, has attracted a large number of customers. The secret behind its success is the idea “rubbish for goods”. Villagers can redeem (兑换) goods with used cartons (硬纸盒) and drink bottles. Early in the morning, Drukhyun, the first secretary of Chumik Village, came to check the stock (库存). “More and more people are coming to redeem goods and we need to timely ensure plentiful stocks,” Drukhyun said. Yet the move was not quite well received in the beginning, until they put their eyes on the pupils. The children used recyclables in exchange for snacks and soon the news spread. Now over 100 villagers have redeemed goods with a value of over 5, 100 yuan. The market has also provided jobs for four local residents that once lived under the poverty line, each earning a monthly salary of 3, 000 yuan. Tenzin Drolma is responsible for counting and weighing the goods. “Thanks to the market, I can get such a meaningful job. Local residents are highly motivated and I'm pretty busy every day.” Since a rule of sorting the waste into categories (种类) in Lhasa was carried out in November 2020, several green markets have opened one after another. In another similar supermarket in Lhasa, the shelves are filled with edible oil, washing liquid, toothpaste and other daily products. All the products are only available by redeeming points. One kilogram of plastic waste can be redeemed for 13 points while one kilogram of cartons is worth of 5 points. Technology has also made the low-carbon lifestyle smarter and cleaner. In a community in Lhasa's Chengguan District, the intelligent recycling bins can calculate the weight and upload (上传) the redeemed points to cards of local residents. “When the trash bins are full, it will automatically remind the cleaning staff to empty them,” said Pendran, director of the district's waste sorting office. 8. What do we know about the minimarket in Xizang? A. It was an immediate success when first founded. B. It began to spread with the help the local kids. C. It was not accepted for environmental damage. D. It allowed villagers to buy daily goods with cash. 9. How does the minimarket affect the local area? A. It starts the local rule of waste sorting. B. It helps the locals get rid of poverty. C. It offers more diverse goods for the locals. D. It provides employment opportunities. 10. What is Tenzin Drolma's attitude towards the minimarket? A. Appreciative. B. Worried. C. Disapproving. D. Uncertain. 11. What can the intelligent cycling bins do? A. Make cards for local residents. B. Sort the waste into several categories. C. Figure out the value of the recycles. D. Remind the residents to empty the bin. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。西藏自治区的一个偏远村庄新开的小市场吸引了大量顾客。（人们可以用）垃圾兑换商品，这是其（该市场）成功的秘诀。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet the move was not quite well received in the beginning, until they put their eyes on the pupils. The children used recyclables in exchange for snacks and soon the news spread. ”(一开始这个举措并不太受欢迎，直到他们把目光投向了学生。不久之后，孩子用可回收材料换取零食消息很快就在村庄里传开了。)可知，在当地孩子的帮助下，它开始传播。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“The market has also provided jobs for four local residents that once lived under the poverty line, each earning a monthly salary of 3, 000 yuan.”(该市场还为4位曾经生活在贫困线以下的当地居民提供了就业机会，他们每个人的月薪为3000元)可知，小市场对当地的影响是它提供就业机会。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“Thanks to the market, I can get such a meaningful job. ”(多亏了市场，我能得到一份如此有意义的工作。)可知，Tenzin Drolma对此举措是心怀感激的。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a community in Lhasa's Chengguan District, the intelligent recycling bins can calculate the weight and upload (上传) the redeemed points to cards of local residents. ”(在拉萨城关区的一个社区，智能回收箱可以计算重量，并将积分上传到当地居民的卡上。)可知，智能回收箱可以计算回收物的价值。故选C。 D Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider? Data released by the OECD suggests that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than a primary school child. In maths, average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years, but fallen in almost as many. In literacy (读写能力), a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance, despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before. Demographic change offers some explanation — new immigrants often struggle with a new language while the native-born have ageing brains. Basic numeracy (计算能力) and literacy are oddly unfashionable compared with fashionable “soft skills”, like generative AI: Overstating the importance of times-tables (乘法表) seems even more boring when talking robots promise to do all the hard work. Yet a century of technological development has not cut demand for people who are good with numbers or words. Adults who do badly in the OECD’s tests earn much less than those who top them. They are also in poorer health, less satisfied with their life, less trusting of others and more likely to feel that they have no voice in politics. What to do? Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grownups. England’s adults have gradually improved their position in the OECD’s rankings, mostly because the youngest ones are scoring better than before. The second task is to modernize outdated systems for educating adults. These give dropouts a second chance; they also serve people who change careers and help immigrants integrate. In too many places, a craze for universities has cut back on funding and focus on the kinds of lessons that people aged 18 and above could be offered. Degrees are becoming less meaningful: the OECD has found that even some university graduates post numeracy and literacy scores that might embarass a child. Meanwhile, those adults who want to return to class without beginning with long, expensive university courses often find good alternatives are lacking. Faster actions to fix all these problems seem like a bright idea. 12. What does the data released by the OECD show? A. Adults may be less literate than before. B. The majority of adults are well-educated. C. Children can have easier access to education. D Adults find numeracy and literacy less useful. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The effectiveness of education. B. The role of advanced technology. C. The value of literacy and numeracy. D. The decline in political engagement. 14. Why is England mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To criticize its outdated education system. B. To reveal the decrease in its dropout rate. C. To demonstrate its high ranking in the OECD. D. To highlight the significance of children’s education. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. University students are financially supported. B. Children are embarrassingly worse in numeracy. C. Degrees and abilities are not necessarily matched. D. Expensive university courses have good alternatives. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了全球范围内成年人数学和读写能力下降的现象，分析了这一现象背后的原因，并提出了相应的解决方案。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In literacy (读写能力), a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance, despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before.(尽管成年人拥有的教育程度和学历比以往任何时候都更高，但在读写能力方面，有更多国家的（读写能力）得分出现了下降，而非上升。)”可知，成年人的读写能力可能不如以前，故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Yet a century of technological development has not cut demand for people who are good with numbers or words. Adults who do badly in the OECD’s tests earn much less than those who top them. They are also in poorer health, less satisfied with their life, less trusting of others and more likely to feel that they have no voice in politics.(然而，一个世纪的技术发展并未减少对擅长数字或文字处理的人才的需求。在经合组织的测试中表现不佳的成年人，其收入远低于那些成绩优异者。他们的健康状况也更差，对生活的满意度更低，对他人的信任度更低，而且更可能觉得自己在政治上没有发言权。)”可知，第三段主要讲述的是读写能力和计算能力的重要性，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grownups. England’s adults have gradually improved their position in the OECD’s rankings, mostly because the youngest ones are scoring better than before.(改善儿童教育是培养更有能力的成年人的最可靠途径。英国成年人在经合组织（OECD）的排名中的地位已逐渐提升，这主要是因为最年轻一代（的测试）得分比以前更高了。)”可知，提到英国是为了强调儿童教育的重要性，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Degrees are becoming less meaningful: the OECD has found that even some university graduates post numeracy and literacy scores that might embarass a child. Meanwhile, those adults who want to return to class without beginning with long, expensive university courses often find good alternatives are lacking.(学位的价值正在逐渐降低：经济合作与发展组织（OECD）发现，甚至一些大学毕业生的计算能力和读写能力得分都低得可能会让一个孩子感到尴尬。与此同时，那些想要重返课堂学习、但又不想从耗时长久且费用高昂的大学课程学起的成年人，往往发现缺乏合适的替代选择。)”可以推断出，学位和能力并不一定相匹配，故选C。 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。 In a fast-paced modern world, stress builds up quickly. It doesn’t just affect your mood, but also harms your health. Here are the things you can do right now — and the science behind why they work. Take deep breaths. ____16____. Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory. Hug it out — or hold a hand. ____17____. Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. In one study, couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t. ____18____. Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. ____19____ Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. ____20____? Actually, any green space will do! A. No parks nearby B. Feeling very stressed C. Touch matters for human beings D. Deep breathing is a proven tool for clearer thinking E. But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits F. Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing G. So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些缓解压力的方法以及这些方法背后的科学原理。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Take deep breaths. (做深呼吸)”以及下文“Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. (研究表明，深呼吸可以降低血压，减慢心率。它还能减少与一系列问题相关的压力荷尔蒙，包括睡眠不良和脑雾。)”可知，本段主要介绍的是深呼吸对压力的影响，且下文提到了对神经系统的影响，F选项“Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing (很少有事情能像深呼吸那样立即或强烈地影响神经系统)”点出深呼吸对神经系统的强效影响，“deep breathing”与上文标题及下文“deep breaths”直接呼应，为下文介绍深呼吸的具体益处做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. (即使是一个快速的拥抱或温柔的触摸也能增加一种化学物质的释放，这种化学物质有助于减轻压力，促进亲密感。)”可知，本段主要说明的是触摸对缓解压力的作用，C选项“Touch matters for human beings (触摸对人类很重要)”是对本段核心内容的概括，点明“肢体触碰”是缓解压力的关键，起到统领段落的作用。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. (研究表明，自我触摸 —— 比如把手放在胸前、揉手臂或轻轻触摸脸部 —— 也同样有效。)”可知，下文提到了自我触摸， E选项“But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits (但我们不需要另一个人来获得类似的好处)”通过“but”转折，承接上文“与他人肢体触碰缓解压力”的内容，引出“自我触碰”这一替代方式，“similar benefits”对应下文“works equally well”，逻辑衔接自然。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. (进行5分钟的散步。这个简单的动作会给大脑中负责注意力、计划和决策的部分带来更多的血液流动和氧气。与此同时，它激活了我们大脑中的中性网络，这个网络与白日梦和创造性洞察力密切相关。)”可知，本段主要说明的是散步对缓解压力的作用，G选项“So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities (所以当你做这些活动时，短距离散步对减轻压力真的很有效)”通过“so”总结上文，“short walks”对应上文“5-minute walk”，“really effective to reduce your stress”点明散步的核心作用，呼应段落主题。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. (到户外去晒晒太阳，呼吸新鲜空气。只需在自然光下待几分钟，就能改善心率变异性并提升情绪。一项综述发现，在户外的最初两分钟内，情绪和心率变异性的改善最为显著。)”以及下文“Actually, any green space will do! (事实上，任何绿地都可以!)”可知，本段主要说明的是到户外享受阳光和新鲜空气对缓解压力的作用，且下文提到了任何绿地都可以，说明本句是在询问没有公园怎么办，A选项“No parks nearby (附近没有公园)”以设问形式提出读者可能的顾虑，下文则回应“任何绿地都可行”，解答顾虑，使建议更具实用性，衔接紧密。故选A。 第二部分 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。 Two years ago, I was rushing home from London by train.

Picking the Best Fair for You East Coast fairs are known for hosting popular young adult authors, where you can chat and get books signed. West Coast fairs focus on interactive workshops, such as short story writing or book cover design. Check dates first: Some last just 3 days, others a whole week. Think about what matters most to you — meeting authors, trying workshops, or discovering new books — before you decide. Tickets and Costs Buy tickets early: Fairs offer discounts for advance purchases. If you want to visit more than once, get multi-day passes — they’re cheaper than buying single-day tickets each time. Some fairs have preview night tickets (more expensive, but let you enter early to avoid crowds and grab limited-edition books). Many also include free small workshops (like poetry writing) in the entry price — no extra cost Travel Tips If you’re flying to a fair in another city, take time to compare prices at different airports nearby. For example, a fair in Chicago might be easy to reach from both O’ Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport, and one could have cheaper flights than the other. Renting a car can be helpful too, since it lets you go to the fair whenever you want and even explore the city’s local bookstores after. But remember: Parking at the fair venues can be hard to find, so arrive early to get a spot, or ask if the fair offers free shuttle buses from nearby subway stations. 1. How should one choose a book fair according to the text? A. By comparing ticket prices. B. By evaluating personal needs. C. By considering travel distance. D. By checking author popularity. 2. What is the advantage of early ticket purchase? A. Obtaining price reductions. B. Entering the fair before others. C. Getting limited-edition books. D. Guaranteeing more workshops. 3. What can we say about fair transportation? A. It involves costly shuttles. B. It always proves convenient. C. It ignores airport choices. D. It demands advance planning. B In the mid-20th century, maps of the world showed continents surrounded by vast, featureless oceans. Beneath the waves, the ocean floor was largely unknown. That all changed thanks to the work of Marie Tharp, a pioneering cartographer and geologist. In the 1940s, few women were accepted in science. Tharp, however, was determined to make her mark. She partnered with oceanographer Bruce Heezen, who collected sonar (声呐) data from ships that crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The data was just a string of numbers and graphs — without someone to translate it into a visual format, it was difficult to interpret. That was where Tharp came in. She began plotting thousands of data points, a painstaking process that required a mix of mathematical skill and artistic intuition. In the process of her mapping, Tharp discovered the central valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a place where the ocean floor was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind of evidence that could support the controversial (争议的) theory of continental drift, which was largely dismissed by the scientific community at the time. Convincing the scientific community would prove difficult, since many geologists had long believed that the ocean floor was flat and featureless. Tharp and Heezen turned to art to create visual representations of the ocean floor. This produced stunning maps that brought Tharp’s findings to life in a way that no scientific paper could. The beauty of these maps captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike. Tharp’s maps, and the evidence they provided, became a cornerstone of the modern understanding of geology. Her work proved that the ocean floor was not static (静态的) but a dynamic, changing landscape. For many years, Tharp’s contributions were overshadowed by her male colleagues — it was Bruce Heezen’s name that often appeared on scientific papers. Tharp worked behind the scenes,receiving little recognition for her groundbreaking work. Today, satellite and sonar technology enable us to map the ocean floor with incredible precision, but none of this would have been possible without Tharp’s pioneering efforts. 4.

C In less than two months, a newly opened minimarket in a remote village in Xigaze City, southwest China's Xizang, has attracted a large number of customers. The secret behind its success is the idea “rubbish for goods”. Villagers can redeem (兑换) goods with used cartons (硬纸盒) and drink bottles. Early in the morning, Drukhyun, the first secretary of Chumik Village, came to check the stock (库存). “More and more people are coming to redeem goods and we need to timely ensure plentiful stocks,” Drukhyun said. Yet the move was not quite well received in the beginning, until they put their eyes on the pupils. The children used recyclables in exchange for snacks and soon the news spread. Now over 100 villagers have redeemed goods with a value of over 5, 100 yuan. The market has also provided jobs for four local residents that once lived under the poverty line, each earning a monthly salary of 3, 000 yuan. Tenzin Drolma is responsible for counting and weighing the goods. “Thanks to the market, I can get such a meaningful job. Local residents are highly motivated and I'm pretty busy every day.” Since a rule of sorting the waste into categories (种类) in Lhasa was carried out in November 2020, several green markets have opened one after another. In another similar supermarket in Lhasa, the shelves are filled with edible oil, washing liquid, toothpaste and other daily products. All the products are only available by redeeming points. One kilogram of plastic waste can be redeemed for 13 points while one kilogram of cartons is worth of 5 points. Technology has also made the low-carbon lifestyle smarter and cleaner. In a community in Lhasa's Chengguan District, the intelligent recycling bins can calculate the weight and upload (上传) the redeemed points to cards of local residents. “When the trash bins are full, it will automatically remind the cleaning staff to empty them,” said Pendran, director of the district's waste sorting office. 8. What do we know about the minimarket in Xizang? A. It was an immediate success when first founded. B. It began to spread with the help the local kids. C. It was not accepted for environmental damage. D. It allowed villagers to buy daily goods with cash. 9. How does the minimarket affect the local area? A. It starts the local rule of waste sorting. B. It helps the locals get rid of poverty. C. It offers more diverse goods for the locals. D. It provides employment opportunities. 10. What is Tenzin Drolma's attitude towards the minimarket? A. Appreciative. B. Worried. C. Disapproving. D. Uncertain. 11. What can the intelligent cycling bins do? A. Make cards for local residents. B. Sort the waste into several categories. C. Figure out the value of the recycles. D. Remind the residents to empty the bin. D Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider? Data released by the OECD suggests that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than a primary school child. In maths, average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years, but fallen in almost as many. In literacy (读写能力), a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance, despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before. Demographic change offers some explanation — new immigrants often struggle with a new language while the native-born have ageing brains. Basic numeracy (计算能力) and literacy are oddly unfashionable compared with fashionable “soft skills”, like generative AI: Overstating the importance of times-tables (乘法表) seems even more boring when talking robots promise to do all the hard work. Yet a century of technological development has not cut demand for people who are good with numbers or words. Adults who do badly in the OECD’s tests earn much less than those who top them. They are also in poorer health, less satisfied with their life, less trusting of others and more likely to feel that they have no voice in politics. What to do? Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grownups. England’s adults have gradually improved their position in the OECD’s rankings, mostly because the youngest ones are scoring better than before. The second task is to modernize outdated systems for educating adults. These give dropouts a second chance; they also serve people who change careers and help immigrants integrate. In too many places, a craze for universities has cut back on funding and focus on the kinds of lessons that people aged 18 and above could be offered. Degrees are becoming less meaningful: the OECD has found that even some university graduates post numeracy and literacy scores that might embarass a child. Meanwhile, those adults who want to return to class without beginning with long, expensive university courses often find good alternatives are lacking. Faster actions to fix all these problems seem like a bright idea. 12 What does the data released by the OECD show? A. Adults may be less literate than before. B. The majority of adults are well-educated. C. Children can have easier access to education. D. Adults find numeracy and literacy less useful. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The effectiveness of education. B. The role of advanced technology. C. The value of literacy and numeracy. D. The decline in political engagement. 14. Why is England mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To criticize its outdated education system. B. To reveal the decrease in its dropout rate. C. To demonstrate its high ranking in the OECD. D. To highlight the significance of children’s education. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. University students are financially supported. B. Children are embarrassingly worse in numeracy. C. Degrees and abilities are not necessarily matched. D. Expensive university courses have good alternatives. 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。 In a fast-paced modern world, stress builds up quickly. It doesn’t just affect your mood, but also harms your health. Here are the things you can do right now — and the science behind why they work. Take deep breaths. ____16____. Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory. Hug it out — or hold a hand. ____17____. Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. In one study, couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t. ____18____. Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. ____19____ Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. ____20____? Actually, any green space will do! A. No parks nearby B. Feeling very stressed C. Touch matters for human beings D Deep breathing is a proven tool for clearer thinking E But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits F. Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing G. So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities 第二部分 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。 Two years ago, I was rushing home from London by train.
