C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Marbleseed第37届有机农业会议的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It gathers farmers from a wide range of farm sizes and backgrounds to learn the latest organic methods, build community and shape the future of the organic farming movement.(它聚集了来自不同农场规模和背景的农民，学习最新的有机方法，建立社区，塑造有机农业运动的未来)”可知，农民参加Marbleseed有机农业会议是为了掌握最新的有机农业技术。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Returning ones can sign up in early September, while new ones need to join the waitlist—spots will open in early October if available.(老参展商可以在9月初报名，而新参展商需要加入等待名单——如果有空位，将在10月初开放)”可知，新参展商需要等待有空位。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Two-day Conference $300(两日会议 300美元)”可知，一对夫妇购买两日会议的早鸟票需要支付300*2=600美元。故选C。 B Exploring different countries and meeting new people have forced me to step out of the safety of routine and into a world where anything can happen. So, my travels have been less about perfect photos and more about misadventures. Travel has allowed me to expand my mind and meet interesting characters, like the good-hearted, toothless friend I made on the bus in the U.S. He was on his way to work security at the motorcycle rally in Sturgis, S.D., and kindly got an extra spoon to share his bowl of ice cream. I politely declined but I enjoyed his company and learned more about managing bikers than expected. Spending 50-plus hours on a bus gave me the opportunity to interact with diverse people that I never would have otherwise. It helped me foster empathy and reminded me how much we all share. But my travels have often been a series of mishaps. My misadventures began more than 25 years ago during a trip to Australia. One might expect tales of surviving encounters with spiders, or snakes in the Outback. However, there’s no thrilling narrative to show off about overcoming the dangers of Australia’s wildlife. Rather, I injured my ear after swimming too close to my friend who was learning to windsurf. My journey to South Africa was filled with encounters of fierce animals in Kruger National Park and countless other thrilling escapades. It was like a highlight series of misadventures waiting to unfold. As fantastic as this trip was, it was coloured by sickness resulting in fever, violent trembling, unplanned sleep in noisy and crowded places. I returned home 20 pounds lighter, a physical and foggy-headed mess, but still a better person for this experience. Despite illnesses and injuries, I’ve come to embrace the fact that travel is as much about the journey as it is about the misadventures. In the end, it’s not about avoiding the bumps and bruises — it’s about laughing through them, connecting with others and knowing that the best stories often come from the most unexpected moments. 4. Why does the author mention the travel on the bus? A. To emphasize people’s kindness. B. To indicate the value of sharing food. C. To highlight people’s connection. D. To discuss the nature of security work. 5. What does the underlined word “mishaps” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Surprises. B. Accidents. C. Memories. D. Expectations. 6 What happened to the author after his trip to South Africa? A. He decided to avoid adventurous travels. B. He turned into an expert on African wildlife. C. He became physically weak but mentally mature. D. He mainly blamed the noisy nights for his weight loss. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Better safe than sorry. B. Variety is the spice of life. C. Shared joy is double joy. D. Turn lemons into lemonade. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者的旅行无关完美画面，更多是意外经历。旅途中他结识不同的人、体会人际联结，也遭遇伤病等糟心事，但仍欣然接纳，认为旅行的美好正源于这些意外与成长。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Spending 50-plus hours on a bus gave me the opportunity to interact with diverse people that I never would have otherwise. It helped me foster empathy and reminded me how much we all share.(在公交车上度过了50多个小时的经历让我有机会与各种各样的人交流，而如果没有这次经历，我是不可能有这样的机会的。这段经历帮助我培养了同理心，并让我意识到我们所有人其实有很多共同之处)”可知，作者提及乘坐公交车这一情节是为了强调人与人之间的联系。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“My misadventures began more than 25 years ago during a trip to Australia. One might expect tales of surviving encounters with spiders, or snakes in the Outback. However, there’s no thrilling narrative to show off about overcoming the dangers of Australia’s wildlife. Rather, I injured my ear after swimming too close to my friend who was learning to windsurf.(我的不幸经历始于25年前的一次澳大利亚之行。人们通常会讲述在澳大利亚内陆遭遇蜘蛛或蛇时的惊险经历。然而，这次旅行并没有什么精彩的故事可讲，来展现如何克服澳大利亚野生动物带来的危险。相反，是在和一位正在学习帆板运动的朋友一起游泳时，我的耳朵受伤了)”可知，后文中作者讲述了在澳大利亚旅行时，因离学帆板的朋友太近游泳而弄伤耳朵的糟糕经历，故mishaps与“意外、倒霉的事”同义，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I returned home 20 pounds lighter, a physical and foggy-headed mess, but still a better person for this experience.(我回到家时体重减轻了20磅，整个人变得疲惫不堪、头脑昏沉，但这次经历让我变得更成熟了)”可知，作者在南非旅行之后身体变得虚弱了，但心智却变得成熟了。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite illnesses and injuries, I’ve come to embrace the fact that travel is as much about the journey as it is about the misadventures. In the end, it’s not about avoiding the bumps and bruises — it’s about laughing through them, connecting with others and knowing that the best stories often come from the most unexpected moments.(尽管遭遇了疾病和受伤，但我已经逐渐接受了这样一个事实：旅行不仅关乎旅程，也关乎旅途中的种种意外遭遇。最终，关键不在于避免磕磕碰碰和受伤——而在于笑着面对它们，与他人建立联系，并明白最精彩的故事往往源自最意想不到的时刻)”可知，作者的经历表明了“把柠檬变成柠檬水”，喻指将不幸转化为机遇或从逆境中获益。故选D。 C Scientists have warned about a new kind of acid rain that is everywhere, is almost impossible to clean up, and could threaten every living thing on the planet. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) — a type of persistent “forever chemical” — is now present in every rain shower and snowfall on the planet, in concentrations far higher than before. It’s not yet known exactly what TFA means for human health or the environment, but some researchers have said that it could be an existential threat. “There’s emerging evidence that it can disrupt vital Earth system processes, such as mammal embryo development and decreasing soil respiration (呼吸),” said Prof Hans Peter Arp, a chemist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Arp’s recent research classified TFA as a planetary threat similar to global warming. “We don’t know the long-term consequences of this. But, if a long-term consequence occurs, it will occur on a global scale,” Arp added. TFA doesn’t degrade naturally, and any technology to remove it is extremely costly. It is one of the smallest “forever chemicals”, which can leak into the environment from refrigerants, pesticides, air conditioning units, landfills and sewage. As it’s so small, it dissolves easily in water. That’s why it’s become one of the most widespread forever chemicals, with rapidly rising levels found in rain, oceans, leaves, food, and human blood and urine. “This is especially concerning because it is considered almost impossible to remove from drinking water,” said Arp. Some scientists have argued that TFA might not be particularly dangerous to humans because it passes through the body quickly in urine. However, Arp said the most recent evidence shows TFA levels were increasing inside humans and animals. “We can see that TFA can enter cells and become building blocks in lipids, proteins and cell walls,” he said. Scientists like Arp are trying to develop methods of removing TFA from the environment, such as by planting crops that absorb it, and then burning these crops at extremely high temperatures, to destroy the chemical. But Arp said, “The first priority is to lower emissions now before the irreversible, global impacts occur.” 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Potential risks of TFA. B. Research methods of TFA. C. Sources of TFA pollution. D. Chemical properties of TFA. 9. What do we know about TFA from the passage? A. It dissolves in water hardly. B. It constantly accumulates in living things. C. It mainly comes from air conditioning units. D. It breaks down in natural environment quickly. 10. What does Hans Peter Arp think of TFA? A. Its long-term impacts are insignificant. B It is too small to harm the environment. C. It is an urgent issue needing quick action. D. Its removal is cost-effective with technology. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A New Worldwide Chemical Crisis B. The History of Acid Rain Research C. The Way to Treat Chemical Pollution D. New Acid Rain’s Threat to Earth’s Life 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新型酸雨成分三氟乙酸对地球生物的潜在威胁。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第二段中“It’s not yet known exactly what TFA means for human health or the environment, but some researchers have said that it could be an existential threat.(目前还不清楚TFA对人类健康或环境究竟意味着什么，但一些研究人员表示，它可能是一种生存威胁)”可知，本段主要描述了TFA可能对地球系统过程造成的破坏，即TFA的潜在风险。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段中“However, Arp said the most recent evidence shows TFA levels were increasing inside humans and animals.(然而，Arp说，最新的证据表明，TFA在人类和动物体内的水平正在上升)”可知，TFA在生物体内不断积累。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“But Arp said, “The first priority is to lower emissions now before the irreversible, global impacts occur.”(但Arp说：“务之急是在不可逆转的全球影响发生之前降低排放。”)”可推知，Hans Peter Arp认为TFA是一个需要迅速采取行动的紧迫问题。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第一段中“Scientists have warned about a new kind of acid rain that is everywhere, is almost impossible to clean up, and could threaten every living thing on the planet. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) — a type of persistent “forever chemical” — is now present in every rain shower and snowfall on the planet, in concentrations far higher than before.(科学家们警告说，有一种新型酸雨无处不在，几乎无法清理，可能会威胁到地球上的每一个生物。三氟乙酸（TFA）是一种持久的“永久性化学物质”，现在存在于地球上的每一场雨和每一场雪中，其浓度远高于以前)”可知，文章主要讲述了新型酸雨成分三氟乙酸对地球生物的潜在威胁。由此可知，D选项“新型酸雨对地球生物的威胁”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D People with severe vision loss have been able to read again, thanks to a tiny wireless chip implanted in one of their eyes and a pair of high-tech glasses. Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a common eye disease that mainly affects the macula in the center of the retina (视网膜) and damages the central vision of people, especially the elderly. It occurs when light-sensitive photoreceptor (光感受器) cells and neurons in the centre of the retina become damaged. People with an advanced stage of AMD known as geographic atrophy (萎缩) usually still have some photoreceptor cells and enough retinal neurons to pass visual information to the brain. Taking advantage of this, Daniel Palanker at Stanford University in California and his colleagues have developed a device called PRIMA. It involves a small camera mounted on a pair of glasses that captures images, then projects them via infrared light to a 2-by-2millimetre solar-powered, wireless chip planted in the back of the eye. The chip then turns the image information into an electrical signal that retinal neurons can pass to the brain. To put it to the test, the researchers recruited 32 people aged 60 or older with geographic atrophy. Their vision in at least one eye was worse than 20/320, which means they could only see at 6 metres what a person with 20/20 vision could see at 97.5 metres. The researchers first planted the chip in the eyes of one of the participants. Then, four to five weeks later, the volunteers began to use the glasses in their daily lives. The glasses allowed them to enlarge what they were seeing by up to 12 times and to adjust the brightness and contrast. After a year, 27 of the participants could read again, as well as perceive shapes and patterns. They could also see an additional five lines, on average, on a standard eye test chart. Some could even read with vision equal to 20/42. The boosted vision the participants experienced is in black and white. “Our next goal is to add the software that will help resolve grey scales and enhance them for face recognition,” suggests Palanker. 12. How does the author introduce AMD? A. By giving a definition. B By offering examples. C. By providing statistics. D. By making comparison. 13. What can be inferred about the PRIMA device in Paragraph 3? A. It relies on batteries to power the chip. B. It captures images using a large camera. C. It operates without any connection to the eye. D. It works by sending electrical signals to the brain. 14. What can be concluded about the participants in the test? A. Most of them got better eyesight. B. All of them were over 60 years old. C. Their vision was measured as 20/320. D. Their glasses are equipped with chips. 15. What is Palanker’s suggestion about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible application of the device. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Hidden limitations for further study. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家研发的PRIMA设备帮助AMD患者恢复视力的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a common eye disease that mainly affects the macula in the center of the retina (视网膜) and damages the central vision of people, especially the elderly.(老年性黄斑变性（AMD）是一种常见的眼病，主要影响视网膜中心的黄斑，损害人们的中心视力，尤其是老年人)”可知，作者通过下定义的方式介绍了AMD。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中“The chip then turns the image information into an electrical signal that retinal neurons can pass to the brain.(然后，芯片将图像信息转换成电信号，视网膜神经元可以将这些信号传递给大脑)”可推知，PRIMA设备通过向大脑发送电信号来工作。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段中“After a year, 27 of the participants could read again, as well as perceive shapes and patterns. They could also see an additional five lines, on average, on a standard eye test chart. Some could even read with vision equal to 20/42.(一年后，其中27名参与者能够再次阅读，并能感知形状和图案。在标准视力测试图上，他们平均能多看清五行。有些人甚至能以相当于20/42的视力阅读。)”可知，大多数参与者的视力得到了改善。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段中““Our next goal is to add the software that will help resolve grey scales and enhance them for face recognition,” suggests Palanker.(Palanker建议：“我们的下一个目标是添加有助于解决灰度问题并增强面部识别功能的软件。”)”可知，Palanker的建议是关于该设备的可能应用。故选B。 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。 Statistically speaking, you’ve probably already pressed a like button several times today. If you’re under 20 years old, even more. Perhaps you recently posted on Weibo, Xiaohongshu or Moments and have been eagerly checking as the like count rises on your phone — each new like accompanied by a rush in your heart. ____16____ According to Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist and physician at Yale University, it is because “the like button is built, in a very deep and distant way, based on evolutionary biology.” All animals learn and evolve as they interact with a challenging world, from experience gained through trial and error. ____17____ “Social learning” conveyed immense evolutionary benefits, allowing early humans to raise their chances of survival by avoiding the mistakes they saw others making, and imitating the successful moves. There are other outcomes to an evolved social learning ability. ____18____ Basically, these habits say “thank you for letting me learn from you.” Because we are happy to get tips about threats and to gain opportunities, we receive knowledge in a way that will encourage more of it to come our way. In turn, we as givers respond to that flattering affirmation. It’s what keeps us sharing what we discover. ____19____ Across the course of human development, what has been selected for in the evolutionary process are not just physical characteristics — like the giraffe’s neck or a certain finch’s beak shape — but also behavioral urges, perceived sensations, and emotions. And this is the very deep psychological territory the like button was able to tap in to. ____20____ To give a like on someone else’s post, knowing it will matter to them, sends a tiny feel-good surge through the nervous system as well. This is the key to the rapid popularity of the like button in our online lives: It’s just not possible for something to become so popular without connecting with something fundamental in our biology. A. Do people really care about the number of likes they get? B. They include our habits of expressing gratitude and acknowledgement. C. But why has this simple feature become such a universal phenomenon? D. These habits of expressing thanks help us build trust with those around us. E. But only certain animals can learn from the experience of other individuals. F. To check your post and see that some likes have accumulated causes a sense of joy. G. All this explains why we have evolved to get such a pleasure from liking and being liked. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了点赞按钮受欢迎的原因及其与人类进化过程中形成的生物特性的联系。 【16题详解】 由上文“Perhaps you recently posted on Weibo, Xiaohongshu or Moments and have been eagerly checking as the like count rises on your phone— each new like accompanied by a rush in your heart.(也许你最近在微博、小红书或朋友圈上发了帖子，然后急切地看着手机上的点赞数上升——每一个新的点赞都伴随着你内心的激动。)”及下文“According to Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist and physician at Yale University, it is because “the like button is built, in a very deep and distant way, based on evolutionary biology.”(耶鲁大学的社会学家和医生Nicholas Christakis说，这是因为“点赞按钮是在非常深和遥远的基础上，基于进化生物学而建立的。”)”可知，上文描述了人们对于点赞的期待和激动心情，下文则解释了为什么点赞按钮会如此受欢迎，本空应引出对于点赞按钮普遍性的疑问。C选项“But why has this simple feature become such a universal phenomenon?(但是为什么这个简单的功能会变得如此普遍呢？)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 由上文“All animals learn and evolve as they interact with a challenging world, from experience gained through trial and error.(所有动物在与具有挑战性的世界互动时都会学习和进化，从通过试错获得的经验中学习。)”及下文“‘Social learning’ conveyed immense evolutionary benefits, allowing early humans to raise their chances of survival by avoiding the mistakes they saw others making, and imitating the successful moves.(“社会学习”带来了巨大的进化优势，使早期人类能够通过避免看到别人犯的错误，并模仿成功的举动来提高生存机会。)”可知，上文说明了所有动物都会通过试错学习，下文则强调了社会学习对早期人类的巨大优势，本空应转折说明只有某些动物能从其他个体的经验中学习。E选项“But only certain animals can learn from the experience of other individuals.(但是只有某些动物能从其他个体的经验中学习。)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 由上文“There are other outcomes to an evolved social learning ability.(进化的社会学习能力还有其他结果。)”及下文“Basically, these habits say “thank you for letting me learn from you.”(基本上，这些习惯是在说“谢谢你让我从你那里学习。”)”可知，上文提到了社会学习能力的其他结果，下文则解释了这些习惯的含义，本空应具体说明这些习惯是什么。B选项“They include our habits of expressing gratitude and acknowledgement.(它们包括我们表达感激和认可的习惯。)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 由下文“Across the course of human development, what has been selected for in the evolutionary process are not just physical characteristics — like the giraffe’s neck or a certain finch’s beak shape — but also behavioral urges, perceived sensations, and emotions.(在人类发展的过程中，进化过程中被选择的不仅仅是身体特征——比如长颈鹿的脖子或某种雀类的喙形——还有行为冲动、感知感觉和情绪。)”可知，下文说明了进化过程中被选择的不仅仅是身体特征，还包括行为冲动、感知感觉和情绪，本空应引出这一观点，说明这些解释了为什么我们从喜欢和被喜欢中获得快乐。G选项“All this explains why we have evolved to get such a pleasure from liking and being liked.(所有这些都解释了为什么我们进化到从喜欢和被喜欢中获得快乐。)”能引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 由上文“And this is the very deep psychological territory the like button was able to tap in to.(这就是点赞按钮能够触及的非常深的心理领域。)”及下文“To give a like on someone else’s post, knowing it will matter to them, sends a tiny feel-good surge through the nervous system as well. This is the key to the rapid popularity of the like button in our online lives: It’s just not possible for something to become so popular without connecting with something fundamental in our biology.(在别人的帖子上点赞，知道这对他们很重要，也会让神经系统产生一种小小的愉悦感。这就是点赞按钮在我们的网络生活中迅速流行的关键：如果不与我们的生物学中的某些基本元素相联系，某样东西是不可能如此受欢迎的。)”可知，上文说明了点赞按钮触及了深层的心理领域，下文则解释了点赞如何带来愉悦感以及点赞按钮的流行原因，本空应具体说明点赞如何带来愉悦感。F选项“To check your post and see that some likes have accumulated causes a sense of joy.(检查你的帖子，看到已经积累了一些点赞，会带来一种喜悦感。)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I recently learned a lesson: you’re never too old to learn, nor too young to teach. This is a story about me, my 10-year-old son, and basketball. My son plays for a local club team. Each time he ____21____ the courts, he’s eager to show off skills, knowing basketball is my favorite sport. His team is a(n) ____22____ bag of talent.

As a gifted child, he was pushed by his father ____36____ (study) music day and night. By the time he was a teenager, he ____37____ (enjoy) a reputation as a wonderful musician. Many important figures in the music world, among ____38____ was the brilliant musician Mozart, predicted Beethoven’s extraordinary future. However, life took a sharp turn when he was in his late twenties — he started to lose his hearing. ____39____ loss of his hearing deeply depressed Beethoven, but he never abandoned hope. He used a ____40____ (various) of hearing aids to try to increase the amount of sound he could take in. When composing, he would put a pencil in his mouth, ____41____ the other end placed against the piano to feel the notes. It was in the struggle against fate that he ____42____ (eventual) composed his great work — Symphony No.9. On 7 May 1824, a crowd of music lovers witnessed its historic premiere (首次公演). As the final notes faded, the crowd broke into enthusiastic cheers, ____43____ (clap) and waving their hats and handkerchiefs to honor ____44____ would become one of the most treasured pieces in musical history. As Beethoven’s last great work, his Symphony No.9 was also a grand finale to his life. For his amazing achievements and for his determination in his darkest days, Beethoven is regarded as one of the most ____45____ (remark) musicians of all time. 【答案】36. to study 37. had enjoyed 38. whom 39. The 40. variety 41. with 42. eventually 43. clapping 44. what 45. remarkable 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了贝多芬的音乐生涯及面对失聪的坚韧精神。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一个有天赋的孩子，他被父亲逼着日夜学习音乐。push sb. to do sth.是固定短语，意为“强迫某人做某事”，本句使用了被动语态，所以该短语变成“sb.be pushed to do sth.”,所以空处需用动词不定式作主语补足语。故填to study。 【37题详解】 考查时态。句意：当他十几岁的时候，他已经享有杰出音乐家的声誉。根据时间状语“By the time he was a teenager”可知，空处谓语动词需用过去完成时态，表示在过去某个时间之前已经完成的动作。故填had enjoyed。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：音乐界的许多重要人物，其中包括杰出的音乐家莫扎特，都预言了贝多芬非凡的未来。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是figures，指人，关系词在定语从句中作介词among的宾语，所以空处需用关系代词whom引导定语从句。故填whom。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：失去听力使贝多芬深感沮丧，但他从未放弃希望。根据空后“loss of his hearing”可知，此处特指贝多芬失去听力，所以空处需用定冠词the。句首单词首字母大写，故填The。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：他使用各种助听器来增加他能接收到的声音量。a variety of是固定短语，意为“各种各样的”，所以空处需用名词variety“多样性”。故填variety。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：作曲时，他会把一支铅笔放在嘴里，另一端放在钢琴上感受音符。空处需用with的复合结构作状语，即“with+宾语+过去分词”。故填with。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：正是在与命运的抗争中，他最终创作出了他的伟大作品——《第九交响曲》。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词composed。eventual的副词形式为eventually“最终”。故填eventually。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当最后一个音符渐渐消失时，人群爆发出热烈的欢呼声，鼓掌并挥舞着帽子和手帕，以纪念这部将成为音乐史上最珍贵的作品之一。本句已有谓语动词broke，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语the crowd与clap之间为主动关系，用现在分词作伴随状语。故填clapping。 【44题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：同上。空处需用连接词引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“……的东西”，所以空处需用连接代词what引导宾语从句。故填what。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于他惊人的成就和在最黑暗的日子里的决心，贝多芬被认为是有史以来最杰出的音乐家之一。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词musicians，remark的形容词为remarkable“非凡的，杰出的”。故填remarkable。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是校学生会主席李华，针对你校存在课桌被乱涂乱画(scribble)的现象，请你在校英文报发表一份倡议书，内容包括： (1)该现象的危害； (2)呼吁爱护课桌。 注意： (1)写作词数应为100个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 【答案】Dear fellow students, I’m Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union.

In class discussions, he perfected the art of the thoughtful nod. In group projects, he was a reliable researcher, rather than a presenter. His carefully constructed comfort zone, however, was about to break apart when his English teacher, Ms. Green, announced that each student would give a five-minute presentation on a local historical figure to the entire class. For Max, it wasn’t an assignment but a nightmare. The thought of standing alone on stage, with dozens of curious eyes fixed on him, sent cold waves of panic through his chest, leaving him on pins and needles for days. After school, he mustered up the courage to approach Ms. Green’s desk, hesitantly stammering, “I... I don’t think I can do it.” He had expected some vague words of encouragement, but instead, she leaned forward, listened carefully to his fears, and offered an unusual approach: “Tonight, record your voice, and feel free to say whatever you want — no rules, no pressure.” That night, Max followed her advice, sitting alone in his room with his phone. The first recording was painful—rushed, shaky, and filled with awkward pauses. But he tried again, and by the third take, something shifted. He heard a clear sentence, then another, sounding steady and natural on his phone. It was only a small victory, yet for the first time, the task ahead felt manageable, like a mountain he might actually climb. The following afternoon, Ms. Green arranged a new challenge. “Now,” she said gently, “I want you to play that recording in an empty classroom. Stand at the front and mouth the words along to it.” Standing behind the teacher’s desk, phone clutched tightly in his hand, rows of empty chairs staring back at him, he pressed the play button. His recorded voice filled the quiet space, slow and sure. Halfway through, his lips faltered, falling out of rhythm with the audio. He stopped the recording, the silence suddenly loud. 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。 Then came Ms. Green. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Max’s heart raced when the presentation arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then came Ms. Green. She walked over slowly, patting his shoulder softly without a word of blame. “It’s okay to stumble,” she smiled, “Your voice is already there; you just need to match your heart to it.” She asked him to try again, this time pausing the recording when he faltered and guiding him to speak the words aloud first. With her gentle encouragement, Max finished the whole piece, his mouth moving in perfect sync with the audio, a faint confidence blooming in his chest. Max’s heart raced when the presentation arrived. He stood at the front, hands no longer shaking, and began to speak, his voice clear and steady, just like the recording. When he finished the five-minute presentation, the classroom burst into warm applause. Ms. Green nodded at him with pride. Max smiled, realizing he had not only conquered the presentation but also stepped out of his comfort zone, finding a brave part of himself he never knew existed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Max原本习惯于躲在背景中，不善于在公众场合发言，但英语老师Ms. Green布置的课堂展示任务打破了他的舒适区。在老师的鼓励和逐步引导下，Max通过录音练习、无声跟读等方式，逐渐克服了恐惧，最终成功完成了展示并赢得了掌声的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接着格林老师来了。”可知，第一段可描写格林老师如何进一步鼓励和指导Max，帮助他克服困难，完成无声跟读的练习。 ②由第二段首句内容“当展示开始时，Max的心跳加速了。”可知，第二段可描写Max在正式展示时的表现，以及展示结束后他的感受和收获。 2.续写线索：格林老师到来——鼓励并指导Max——Max完成无声跟读练习——展示开始——Max成功完成展示——赢得掌声——Max的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①轻拍：pat/tap/ stroke softly ②结巴：stumble/falter ③点头表示骄傲：nod at him with pride/give him a proud nod/acknowledge him proudly with a nod 情绪类 ①自信：confidence/self-assurance ②骄傲地：with pride/proudly 【点睛】【高分句型1】She asked him to try again, this time pausing the recording when he faltered and guiding him to speak the words aloud first.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When he finished the five-minute presentation, the classroom burst into warm applause.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年下学期期末教学质量监测 高二英语 (试题卷) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。写在本试题卷上无效。 3.本试题卷共10页，如缺页，考生须及时报告监考老师，否则后果自负。 4.考试结束后，将本试题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 Exploring different countries and meeting new people have forced me to step out of the safety of routine and into a world where anything can happen. So, my travels have been less about perfect photos and more about misadventures. Travel has allowed me to expand my mind and meet interesting characters, like the good-hearted, toothless friend I made on the bus in the U.S. He was on his way to work security at the motorcycle rally in Sturgis, S.D., and kindly got an extra spoon to share his bowl of ice cream. I politely declined but I enjoyed his company and learned more about managing bikers than expected. Spending 50-plus hours on a bus gave me the opportunity to interact with diverse people that I never would have otherwise. It helped me foster empathy and reminded me how much we all share. But my travels have often been a series of mishaps. My misadventures began more than 25 years ago during a trip to Australia. One might expect tales of surviving encounters with spiders, or snakes in the Outback. However, there’s no thrilling narrative to show off about overcoming the dangers of Australia’s wildlife. Rather, I injured my ear after swimming too close to my friend who was learning to windsurf. My journey to South Africa was filled with encounters of fierce animals in Kruger National Park and countless other thrilling escapades. It was like a highlight series of misadventures waiting to unfold. As fantastic as this trip was, it was coloured by sickness resulting in fever, violent trembling, unplanned sleep in noisy and crowded places. I returned home 20 pounds lighter, a physical and foggy-headed mess, but still a better person for this experience. Despite illnesses and injuries, I’ve come to embrace the fact that travel is as much about the journey as it is about the misadventures. In the end, it’s not about avoiding the bumps and bruises — it’s about laughing through them, connecting with others and knowing that the best stories often come from the most unexpected moments. 4. Why does the author mention the travel on the bus? A. To emphasize people’s kindness. B. To indicate the value of sharing food. C. To highlight people’s connection. D. To discuss the nature of security work. 5. What does the underlined word “mishaps” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Surprises. B. Accidents. C. Memories. D. Expectations. 6. What happened to the author after his trip to South Africa? A. He decided to avoid adventurous travels. B. He turned into an expert on African wildlife. C. He became physically weak but mentally mature. D. He mainly blamed the noisy nights for his weight loss. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Better safe than sorry. B. Variety is the spice of life. C. Shared joy is double joy. D. Turn lemons into lemonade. C Scientists have warned about a new kind of acid rain that is everywhere, is almost impossible to clean up, and could threaten every living thing on the planet. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) — a type of persistent “forever chemical” — is now present in every rain shower and snowfall on the planet, in concentrations far higher than before. It’s not yet known exactly what TFA means for human health or the environment, but some researchers have said that it could be an existential threat. “There’s emerging evidence that it can disrupt vital Earth system processes, such as mammal embryo development and decreasing soil respiration (呼吸),” said Prof Hans Peter Arp, a chemist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Arp’s recent research classified TFA as a planetary threat similar to global warming. “We don’t know the long-term consequences of this. But, if a long-term consequence occurs, it will occur on a global scale,” Arp added. TFA doesn’t degrade naturally, and any technology to remove it is extremely costly. It is one of the smallest “forever chemicals”, which can leak into the environment from refrigerants, pesticides, air conditioning units, landfills and sewage. As it’s so small, it dissolves easily in water. That’s why it’s become one of the most widespread forever chemicals, with rapidly rising levels found in rain, oceans, leaves, food, and human blood and urine. “This is especially concerning because it is considered almost impossible to remove from drinking water,” said Arp. Some scientists have argued that TFA might not be particularly dangerous to humans because it passes through the body quickly in urine. However, Arp said the most recent evidence shows TFA levels were increasing inside humans and animals. “We can see that TFA can enter cells and become building blocks in lipids, proteins and cell walls,” he said. Scientists like Arp are trying to develop methods of removing TFA from the environment, such as by planting crops that absorb it, and then burning these crops at extremely high temperatures, to destroy the chemical. But Arp said, “The first priority is to lower emissions now before the irreversible, global impacts occur.” 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Potential risks of TFA. B. Research methods of TFA.

New Acid Rain’s Threat to Earth’s Life D People with severe vision loss have been able to read again, thanks to a tiny wireless chip implanted in one of their eyes and a pair of high-tech glasses. Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a common eye disease that mainly affects the macula in the center of the retina (视网膜) and damages the central vision of people, especially the elderly. It occurs when light-sensitive photoreceptor (光感受器) cells and neurons in the centre of the retina become damaged. People with an advanced stage of AMD known as geographic atrophy (萎缩) usually still have some photoreceptor cells and enough retinal neurons to pass visual information to the brain. Taking advantage of this, Daniel Palanker at Stanford University in California and his colleagues have developed a device called PRIMA. It involves a small camera mounted on a pair of glasses that captures images, then projects them via infrared light to a 2-by-2millimetre solar-powered, wireless chip planted in the back of the eye. The chip then turns the image information into an electrical signal that retinal neurons can pass to the brain. To put it to the test, the researchers recruited 32 people aged 60 or older with geographic atrophy. Their vision in at least one eye was worse than 20/320, which means they could only see at 6 metres what a person with 20/20 vision could see at 97.5 metres. The researchers first planted the chip in the eyes of one of the participants. Then, four to five weeks later, the volunteers began to use the glasses in their daily lives. The glasses allowed them to enlarge what they were seeing by up to 12 times and to adjust the brightness and contrast. After a year, 27 of the participants could read again, as well as perceive shapes and patterns. They could also see an additional five lines, on average, on a standard eye test chart. Some could even read with vision equal to 20/42. The boosted vision the participants experienced is in black and white. “Our next goal is to add the software that will help resolve grey scales and enhance them for face recognition,” suggests Palanker. 12. How does the author introduce AMD? A. By giving a definition. B. By offering examples. C. By providing statistics. D. By making comparison. 13. What can be inferred about the PRIMA device in Paragraph 3? A. It relies on batteries to power the chip. B. It captures images using a large camera. C. It operates without any connection to the eye. D. It works by sending electrical signals to the brain. 14. What can be concluded about the participants in the test? A. Most of them got better eyesight. B. All of them were over 60 years old. C. Their vision was measured as 20/320. D. Their glasses are equipped with chips. 15. What is Palanker’s suggestion about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible application of the device. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Hidden limitations for further study. 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。 Statistically speaking, you’ve probably already pressed a like button several times today. If you’re under 20 years old, even more. Perhaps you recently posted on Weibo, Xiaohongshu or Moments and have been eagerly checking as the like count rises on your phone — each new like accompanied by a rush in your heart. ____16____ According to Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist and physician at Yale University, it is because “the like button is built, in a very deep and distant way, based on evolutionary biology.” All animals learn and evolve as they interact with a challenging world, from experience gained through trial and error. ____17____ “Social learning” conveyed immense evolutionary benefits, allowing early humans to raise their chances of survival by avoiding the mistakes they saw others making, and imitating the successful moves. There are other outcomes to an evolved social learning ability. ____18____ Basically, these habits say “thank you for letting me learn from you.” Because we are happy to get tips about threats and to gain opportunities, we receive knowledge in a way that will encourage more of it to come our way. In turn, we as givers respond to that flattering affirmation. It’s what keeps us sharing what we discover. ____19____ Across the course of human development, what has been selected for in the evolutionary process are not just physical characteristics — like the giraffe’s neck or a certain finch’s beak shape — but also behavioral urges, perceived sensations, and emotions. And this is the very deep psychological territory the like button was able to tap in to. ____20____ To give a like on someone else’s post, knowing it will matter to them, sends a tiny feel-good surge through the nervous system as well. This is the key to the rapid popularity of the like button in our online lives: It’s just not possible for something to become so popular without connecting with something fundamental in our biology. A. Do people really care about the number of likes they get? B. They include our habits of expressing gratitude and acknowledgement. C. But why has this simple feature become such a universal phenomenon? D. These habits of expressing thanks help us build trust with those around us. E. But only certain animals can learn from the experience of other individuals. F. To check your post and see that some likes have accumulated causes a sense of joy. G. All this explains why we have evolved to get such a pleasure from liking and being liked. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I recently learned a lesson: you’re never too old to learn, nor too young to teach.

In class discussions, he perfected the art of the thoughtful nod. In group projects, he was a reliable researcher, rather than a presenter. His carefully constructed comfort zone, however, was about to break apart when his English teacher, Ms. Green, announced that each student would give a five-minute presentation on a local historical figure to the entire class. For Max, it wasn’t an assignment but a nightmare. The thought of standing alone on stage, with dozens of curious eyes fixed on him, sent cold waves of panic through his chest, leaving him on pins and needles for days. After school, he mustered up the courage to approach Ms. Green’s desk, hesitantly stammering, “I... I don’t think I can do it.” He had expected some vague words of encouragement, but instead, she leaned forward, listened carefully to his fears, and offered an unusual approach: “Tonight, record your voice, and feel free to say whatever you want — no rules, no pressure.” That night, Max followed her advice, sitting alone in his room with his phone. The first recording was painful—rushed, shaky, and filled with awkward pauses. But he tried again, and by the third take, something shifted. He heard a clear sentence, then another, sounding steady and natural on his phone. It was only a small victory, yet for the first time, the task ahead felt manageable, like a mountain he might actually climb. The following afternoon, Ms. Green arranged a new challenge. “Now,” she said gently, “I want you to play that recording in an empty classroom. Stand at the front and mouth the words along to it.” Standing behind the teacher’s desk, phone clutched tightly in his hand, rows of empty chairs staring back at him, he pressed the play button. His recorded voice filled the quiet space, slow and sure. Halfway through, his lips faltered, falling out of rhythm with the audio. He stopped the recording, the silence suddenly loud. 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。 Then came Ms. Green. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Max’s heart raced when the presentation arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
