Reduce the use of sleep medicine. B. Sleep with lights off. C. Sleep with open curtains. 20. What is the talk mainly about? A. The influence of light on sleep. B. The benefits of good sleep. C. The effects of lack of sleep. 【答案】18. B 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】W: A new report says sleeping with the light on could be bad for our health. Researchers said around 40 percent of people sleep with some sort of artificial light. They said even light from a television or an alarm clock could affect our health. Sleeping without any light is more difficult for people who live in cities, where there is a lot of outdoor light at night. The researchers are from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, U.S.A. The lead researcher, Dr. Phyllis Zee, is an expert in sleep medicine. Her team conducted a study of the blood sugar levels of 20 people after nights of sleep. The people who slept with a light on had higher blood sugar levels the next morning compared to those who slept in total darkness. Dr. Zee said this is because light stimulates brain activity, which raises blood sugar levels. She said there are three things we can do to reduce the risk of illness; turn off the lights, use a light-blocking curtain and wear an eye mask. 第二部分 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 Earth Day Contest in Chelsea, Michigan On a sunny spring afternoon at Lyndon Park North, Chelsea residents gathered to celebrate Earth Day and shared ideas for a more sustainable future. “Einstein once said that imagination is more powerful than intellect,” said event organizer Marijo Grogan. “Our Earth Day Contest exemplifies how collective imagination and wisdom can create a vision and motivation for action.” Participants submitted thirty unique ideas covering topics from composting (堆肥) to tool-sharing libraries. Winners were announced at the event. •First Place went to Shana Weddington for her concept of a Community Compost & Seed Library — a mobile unit that could move through neighborhoods, making composting and gardening resources accessible to more residents.

Known as the Pretty Bus Stop on Lankelly Lane in Cornwall, it was given its first transformation by Jane Tinsley after some damage. Over the next twenty years the stop has been decorated in a variety of themes,including a tea room, a yacht (帆船) race, a library, and even an Elvis-themed stop at one point Volunteers regularly step forward to give it a fresh look, especially during the winter. Sarah Worne, an artist who has been involved since 2021, recently created a plant-themed design called Thyme to Stop, which features real and painted pots of seedlings and plants, giving the stop the feel of a greenhouse. “It was cold coming into February and everybody needed a bit of warmth,” Sarah said. “This design makes it feel cosy while people wait for the bus.” Sarah enjoys the project because it brings joy to others. “I always like keeping busy and doing things that make people smile, just for fun.” she added. The bus stop even has a dedicated Facebook page, with more than 2,700 followers, showcasing its many designs over the years. “We love getting the community involved. For example, I have challenged Fowey River Lions to do a design and they are having a go this year at Easter, which has led neighbors to come together, discuss ideas, and work towards a common goal,” Sarah said. Sarah has thought about decorating other bus stops but hasn’t yet taken the time to talk to the owners. “The bus stop in Fowey is actually owned by the town council. You do have to workout who owns the bus stops and I haven’t gone down that route — but I certainly got my eve on a couple of other bus stops that could do with brightening up.” 24. What does the underlined word “makeovers” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Decorations. B. Achievements. C. Inspirations. D. Traditions. 25. What is the purpose of Sarah’s design? A. To display her talent for art. B. To warm the plants in winter. C. To bring warmth to people. D. To provide a place for reading. 26. What can be learned about the bus stop from paragraph 5? A. It boosts a sense of community. B. It owes its popularity to Facebook. C. It is owned by Fowey River Lions. D. It is funded by the local community. 27. What is Sarah most likely to do before decorating a bus stop? A. Contact qualified designers. B. Apply to the town council C. Gain its owner’s permission. D. Clarify its current location. 【答案】24 A 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国福伊镇一个公交站二十年来被当地人创意装饰，以及艺术家莎拉参与其中的故事。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A bus stop in Fowey, England, has been receiving artistic makeovers from creative locals for two decades.(20年来，英国福伊的一个公交车站一直受到当地富有创意的人的艺术makeovers)”以及第二段“Over the next twenty years the stop has been decorated in a variety of themes,including a tea room, a yacht race, a library, and even an Elvis-themed stop at one point Volunteers regularly step forward to give it a fresh look, especially during the winter.(在接下来的20年里，这个车站被装饰成各种主题，包括茶室、帆船赛、图书馆，甚至有一次还出现了猫王主题的车站。志愿者们经常站出来给它一个新的面貌，尤其是在冬天)”可知，此处指公交车站被进行艺术装饰，“makeovers”意思是“装饰”。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““It was cold coming into February and everybody needed a bit of warmth,” Sarah said. “This design makes it feel cosy while people wait for the bus.”(“进入2月天气很冷，每个人都需要一点温暖，”莎拉说。“这个设计让人们在等车的时候感觉很舒适。”)”可知，莎拉的设计目的是给人们带来温暖。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““We love getting the community involved. For example, I have challenged Fowey River Lions to do a design and they are having a go this year at Easter, which has led neighbors to come together, discuss ideas, and work towards a common goal,” Sarah said.(“我们喜欢让社区参与进来。例如，我挑战福伊河狮子队进行设计，他们将在今年的复活节进行尝试，这让邻居们聚在一起，讨论想法，朝着共同的目标努力，”莎拉说)”可知，这个公交车站增强了社区意识。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sarah has thought about decorating other bus stops but hasn’t yet taken the time to talk to the owners. “The bus stop in Fowey is actually owned by the town council. You do have to workout who owns the bus stops and I haven’t gone down that route — but I certainly got my eve on a couple of other bus stops that could do with brightening up.”(莎拉曾想过装饰其他公交车站，但还没有抽出时间和车主谈谈。“福伊的公交车站实际上归镇议会所有。你确实要弄清楚谁拥有公交车站，我还没有走那条路——但我确实注意到了其他几个可以亮起来的公交车站”)”可推知，莎拉在装饰公交车站之前最有可能先获得车主的许可。故选C。 C Speaking more than one language may benefit children’s executive (执行的) function — especially those with autism spectrum (自闭症谱系) disorder (ASD), a recent analysis suggests. The study, published in Autism Research, looked at 116 children aged 7 through 12. Of those, 53 had autism spectrum disorder and 63 did not, though 4 children were later excluded. Twenty-one of the children with ASD spoke more than one language, and 35 of the typically developing children were multilingual (讲多种语言的). Most of the multilingual children spoke English and Spanish, though some spoke Portuguese, Hebrew, French, Japanese or Bulgarian in addition to English. The researchers tested the children’s executive function abilities and asked parents to fill out surveys assessing autism behaviors such as viewpoint taking — the ability to understand viewpoints other than one’s own — and social communication. The multilingual children all demonstrated better executive function than their counterparts who spoke just one language, regardless of whether they were on the autism spectrum. But the effect was more salient in multilingual kids with ASD. These kids had much better self-control than those who only spoke one language and had ASD. The research also found a “direct and indirect association between multilingualism and viewpoint taking.” This could be because people who speak more than one language must assess social signals to decide which language to speak or that their knowledge of more than one language comes with a higher ability to understand language itself, the researchers said. Multilingual children’s executive functions could be improved by the need to choose the right language to speak, the researchers write. “If you have to balance two languages, you have to control one in order to use the other,” said Lucina Uddin, who was a professor at the University of Miami during the research. “That’s the idea. The ability to stop yourself from doing something might be strengthened by knowing two languages.” Encouraging multilingualism at home could benefit kids with autism spectrum disorders, the researchers conclude, and could even provide a “natural intervention” for some types of executive function. 28. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the study? A. Its conclusion. B. Its participants. C. Its procedures. D. Its significance. 29. What does the underlined word “salient” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Predictable. B. Noticeable. C. Potential. D. Serious. 30. What conclusion can we draw about multilingual children? A. They are less likely to be sidetracked. B. They are more creative in language use. C. They are better at controlling themselves. D. They are more likely to have language disorders 31. What’s the researchers’ attitude to promoting multilingualism at home for autistic children? A. Negative. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新的研究，该研究表明说多种语言可能对儿童的执行功能有益，特别是对于患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study, published in Autism Research, looked at 116 children aged 7 through 12. Of those, 53 had autism spectrum disorder and 63 did not, though 4 children were later excluded. Twenty-one of the children with ASD spoke more than one language, and 35 of the typically developing children were multilingual (讲多种语言的). Most of the multilingual children spoke English and Spanish, though some spoke Portuguese, Hebrew, French, Japanese or Bulgarian in addition to English. (这项发表在《自闭症研究》杂志上的研究对116名7至12岁的儿童进行了调查。其中，53人患有自闭症谱系障碍，63人没有，尽管有4名儿童后来被排除在外。21名患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童会说一种以上的语言，35名正常发育的儿童会说多种语言。大多数会说多种语言的儿童会说英语和西班牙语，不过除了英语之外，有些儿童还会说葡萄牙语、希伯来语、法语、日语或保加利亚语。)”可知，本段主要介绍了参与这项研究的儿童的基本情况，即这项研究的参与者。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词上文“The multilingual children all demonstrated better executive function than their counterparts who spoke just one language, regardless of whether they were on the autism spectrum. (无论是否患有自闭症谱系障碍，会说多种语言的儿童在执行功能方面都比只说一种语言的同龄人表现得更好。)”指出讲多种语言的儿童在执行功能上比讲一种语言的好；结合划线词所在句中“in multilingual kids with ASD(在患有自闭症谱系障碍的多语种儿童中)”以及下文“These kids had much better self-control than those who only spoke one language and had ASD.(这些孩子比那些只会说一种语言并患有自闭症的孩子有更好的自我控制能力。)”可知，划线词所在句子指的是“但是这种效果在患有自闭症谱系障碍的多语种儿童中更为明显”，salient的意思是“更明显的，更显著的”，和B项“Noticeable. (明显的)”意思相近。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“These kids had much better self-control than those who only spoke one language and had ASD. (这些孩子比那些只会说一种语言并患有自闭症的孩子有更好的自我控制能力。)”以及第六段中““If you have to balance two languages, you have to control one in order to use the other,” said Lucina Uddin, who was a professor at the University of Miami during the research. “That’s the idea. The ability to stop yourself from doing something might be strengthened by knowing two languages.”(‘如果你必须平衡两种语言，你必须控制一种语言，才能使用另一种语言，’研究期间在迈阿密大学任教的露西娜・乌丁（Lucina Uddin）教授表示：‘这就是我们的观点。掌握两种语言可能会增强人们自我控制行为的能力，使自己不再去做某些事情。’)”可推知，会说多种语言的儿童自控能力更好。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Encouraging multilingualism at home could benefit kids with autism spectrum disorders, the researchers conclude, and could even provide a “natural intervention” for some types of executive function. (研究人员得出结论，鼓励在家中使用多种语言可能对患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童有益，甚至可以为某些类型的执行功能提供‘自然干预’。)”可推知，研究人员对鼓励自闭症儿童在家使用多种语言的态度是支持的。故选D项。 D Whenever a solar eclipse(日食)occurs, life seems to stand still for a brief moment. Humans watch the sky, animals display odd behaviors, but what about plants? It turns out that plant life has its own way of dealing with this astronomical event. A new study has shown that trees react to solar eclipses and even anticipate them hours in advance, synchronizing(使同步)their bioelectrical signals in preparation. In the study, researchers focused on the electrome of trees—this network includes the bioelectrical signals they generate to communicate and adjust responses to environmental changes. To see the electrome in action, the researchers measured bioelectrical signals in spruce trees located in the Dolomites during a partial solar eclipse. They finished this by setting up a system of sensors that could continuously collect data from the trees during the event. The data revealed that trees’ signals became more synchronized before and during the solar eclipse. Hours before the eclipse, the trees were able to anticipate the astronomical event and change their bioelectrical behavior to prepare for upcoming effects like drops in sap(汁液)flow. This was most prominent in older trees, which may have gained such impressive anticipatory abilities by growing accustomed to eclipse patterns over their long lifespan. After the older trees prepared themselves for the eclipse, the rest of the trees followed suit, demonstrating a close connection shared by the whole forest. “The revelation that trees can band together to prepare for eclipses highlights the critical importance of protecting older forests, which serve as a guard of an ecosystem by preserving and spreading invaluable ecological knowledge,” said lead author Monica Gagliano. Researchers aren’t certain about the specific clues that enabled the trees to anticipate the solar eclipse. It’s possible, however, that trees’ behavior may be a result of gravitational forces caused by the positioning of the Moon and Sun in the sky. Additional details on the power of trees—especially their capacity to anticipate and adapt to environmental changes—have yet to be uncovered, which is another reason why researchers are stressing the importance of preserving trees. 32. What did the researchers do in the study? A. They controlled the side effects on trees. B. They employed sensors for data collection. C. The measured various tree species’ signals. D. They tracked the tested trees after the event. 33. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Dangerous. B. Temporary. C. Obvious. D. Complicated. 34. Which of the following shows the researchers’ opinion? A. Older forests are in great danger. B. It’s very necessary to protect trees. C. The cause of trees’ behavior is certain. D. Environmental changes are unpredictable. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. An astronomical event is threatening trees. B. Trees’ anticipatory capacity remains stable. C. Forests serve as a guard of an ecosystem. D. Trees communicate to prepare for a solar eclipse. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于树木对日食反应的新研究。研究发现树木能够对日食做出反应，甚至提前数小时预测日食，并同步它们的生物电信号做准备。 32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They finished this by setting up a system of sensors that could continuously collect data from the trees during the event.(他们通过建立一个传感器系统来完成这项工作，该系统可以在活动期间持续收集树木的数据)”可知，研究人员通过设置传感器系统来持续收集树木的数据。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后半句“which may have gained such impressive anticipatory abilities by growing accustomed to eclipse patterns over their long lifespan. (它们可能在漫长的生命周期中逐渐习惯了日食模式，从而获得了令人印象深刻的预测能力)”可知，老树由于长期适应日食模式，可能获得了令人印象深刻的预测能力，这种能力在老树身上表现得最为明显的。所以划线词prominent为“明显的”之意。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Additional details on the power of trees—especially their capacity to anticipate and adapt to environmental changes—have yet to be uncovered, which is another reason why researchers are stressing the importance of preserving trees. (关于树木力量的更多细节——尤其是它们预测和适应环境变化的能力——还没有被发现，这也是研究人员强调保护树木重要性的另一个原因)”可知，研究人员强调保护树木的重要性，因为树木还有很多能力细节有待发现。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new study has shown that trees react to solar eclipses and even anticipate them hours in advance, synchronizing (使同步) their bioelectrical signals in preparation. (一项新的研究表明，树木会对日食做出反应，甚至会提前数小时预测到日食，从而同步它们的生物电信号做好准备)”及全文可知，文章开篇指出植物对日食有自己的应对方式，接着详细介绍研究发现树木能预测日食并同步生物电信号做准备，强调树木为应对日食相互沟通协作。故选D。 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。 Knowledge management is one of the most vital aspects of workplace progress. When employees fail to get access to the knowledge for completing their tasks, the organization suffers. Here are four strategies you can use to encourage your employees to share knowledge in the workplace. · ____36____ While you expect knowledge sharing in your workplace, not everyone is open to it. It’s helpful to make the workplace a place where sharing knowledge can become second nature for employees. ____37____ These can comprise increased interactions, team-building exercises, quizzes and collaborations. Even with office tasks, assign groups to work together and share knowledge. ·Recognize and reward knowledge sharing. Positive reinforcement (强化) works everywhere. ____38____ Try to reward employees who are making an effort to share knowledge. This will show other people that sharing and helping people understand concepts is rewarded and encouraged, thereby motivating more people to do it. You can give the rewards after they do the task or at the end of an office year. ·Manage communication barriers between employees. Effective communication between employees is a must for the smooth working of an organization. ____39____ When the communication barriers between employees are removed, knowledge sharing will be a simple process. You can establish an online platform which facilitates easy communication. ·Lead by example. If you don’t follow knowledge-sharing systems, it will be challenging for the rest of the organization to do it. Therefore, you must lead by example and show that it’s equally important for everyone to share knowledge. Whenever there’s a knowledge-sharing activity, you should be the first one to begin because, ultimately, your knowledge is being passed on to employees. ____40____ A. Organizations are no exception.

(以下是你可以用来鼓励员工在工作场所分享知识的四种策略。)”及下文“While you expect knowledge sharing in your workplace, not everyone is open to it. It’s helpful to make the workplace a place where sharing knowledge can become second nature for employees. (虽然你希望在工作场所分享知识，但并不是每个人都愿意这样做。让工作场所成为分享知识成为员工第二天性的地方是有帮助的。)”可知，本空应强调创造分享知识的环境，C选项“Create a knowledge-sharing environment. (创造一个知识共享的环境。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 【37题详解】 由上文“It’s helpful to make the workplace a place where sharing knowledge can become second nature for employees. (让工作场所成为一个员工可以自然而然地分享知识的地方是有帮助的。)”及下文“These can comprise increased interactions, team-building exercises, quizzes and collaborations.(这些可以包括增加互动、团队建设活动、测验和合作。)”可知，本空应解释通过不同的活动创造一个共享环境，D选项“For this, you can include different activities in day-to-day tasks.(为此，你可以在日常工作中加入不同的活动。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【38题详解】 由上文“Recognize and reward knowledge sharing. Positive reinforcement (强化) works everywhere. (认可并奖励知识分享。积极强化在各个地方都有效。)”和下文“Try to reward employees who are making an effort to share knowledge. This will show other people that sharing and helping people understand concepts is rewarded and encouraged, thereby motivating more people to do it. You can give the rewards after they do the task or at the end of an office year. (尝试奖励那些努力分享知识的员工。这将向其他人表明，分享和帮助人们理解概念是有回报和鼓励的，从而激励更多的人去做这件事。你可以在他们完成任务后或在办公年度结束时给予奖励。)”可知，空格处需说明“组织”也适用积极强化原则。A选项“Organizations are no exception. (组织也不例外。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 【39题详解】 由上文“Manage communication barriers between employees. Effective communication between employees is a must for the smooth working of an organization. (管理员工之间的沟通障碍。员工之间的有效沟通是组织顺利运作的必需。)”及下文“When the communication barriers between employees are removed, knowledge sharing will be a simple process. (当员工之间的沟通障碍被消除时，知识共享将是一个简单的过程。)”可知，本空应解释沟通障碍对知识分享的影响，F选项“If there are barriers to it, employees will get discouraged from sharing knowledge. (如果存在沟通障碍，员工会不愿分享知识。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 【40题详解】 由上文“Therefore, you must lead by example and show that it’s equally important for everyone to share knowledge. Whenever there’s a knowledge-sharing activity, you should be the first one to begin because, ultimately, your knowledge is being passed on to employees. (因此，你必须以身作则，表明分享知识对每个人来说都同样重要。每当有知识分享活动时，你都应该是第一个开始的人，因为最终你的知识会被传递给员工。)”可知，空格处需进一步说明领导参与的积极影响。G选项“The more you get involved in such activities, the more willing employees will be to do it. (你参与的活动越多，员工就越愿意这样做。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 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。 When my older son Jack was in high school, he accepted a summer job selling solar panels door-to-door.

Besides my job in the library, I was a part-time writer. I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer, even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada. A few months ago, I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry, so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration. The instant I picked up the phone, the editor greeted me excitedly, “Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing (评论) books for us. You’ll have a month to write your review, and we do pay.” Reviewing books? I had never written a review before, at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers. Sure, I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles, but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked. This request was something entirely different. Could I do it? I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others’ work. After all, I was only an occasional poet and library assistant. My spirits sank when they didn’t even mention my poetry; instead, they wanted me to review someone else’s writing. “I have a novel here. It’s by a well-known author. Would you like me to send it to you?” the editor asked. Suddenly, my heart whispered, “You can do it and say ‘yes’ now!” “Yes,” I then said. The book arrived soon. I felt anxious. Again, my heart said, “Take it one step at a time. First, read the book.” So, I did. I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story. Now what? I sat at my computer, with fingers frozen. “Think! Think! Think! What are you going to say?” I whispered and remained still for several minutes. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Just start writing down anything,” I told myself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It wasn’t long before the editor replied. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Just start writing down anything.” It old myself. My fingers then responded by typing a sentence then two. The words flowed from my fingertips as if they had been waiting for this moment. I found myself absorbed in the process, letting my thoughts and emotions guide my review. And soon enough, I had a complete draft before me. As I read through what I had written, a sense of accomplishment washed over me. It wasn’t perfect, but I captured the essence of the novel. With a deep breath, I hit the “send”button. Then, all I could do was wait. Meanwhile, I felt worried that it wouldn’t be accepted by the editor. It wasn’t long before the editor replied. “Hi, Carol. I did a quick read through of your review. It looks great the editor excitedly. Upon hearing these words, all my doubts were pushed aside and replaced by newfound confidence. From that day forward, I embraced more opportunities to write reviews. It was a journey of growth and self-discovery, one that taught me the power of stepping out of my comfort zone and trusting in my own abilities. And so, my humble beginnings as an occasional poet and library assistant paved the way for a new chapter in writing journey. I’m grateful for the initial chance the editor gave me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为图书馆工作人员和业余诗人，向地区杂志投稿诗歌后，意外收到编辑的书评撰写邀请。作者起初因缺乏经验和自我怀疑而不安，但还是接受了挑战，在认真阅读小说后完成书评并发送。编辑回复认可，这让作者重拾信心，开启了写作新篇章，也让作者明白走出舒适区和相信自己能力的重要性。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘就从写下任何东西开始吧，’我告诉自己。”可知，第一段可描写作者克服心理障碍，开始撰写书评，并最终完成初稿的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“没过多久，编辑就回复了。”可知，第二段可描写编辑对作者书评的积极反馈，以及作者因此获得的信心和成长。 2. 续写线索：开始写作——克服焦虑——完成初稿——发送书评——等待回复——收到积极反馈——获得信心和成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①点击“发送”按钮：hit the “send” button/click the “send” button/press the “send” button ②抓住机会：embrace opportunities/seize opportunities/take up opportunities ③为……铺平道路：pave the way for/smooth the way for/clear the path for 情绪类 ①感到担心：feel worried/be concerned ②感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】The words flowed from my fingertips as if they had been waiting for this moment.（运用了as if引导的方式状语从句） 【高分句型2】As I read through what I had written, a sense of accomplishment washed over me.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区 2025-2026学年高三上期01月测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Winners were announced at the event. •First Place went to Shana Weddington for her concept of a Community Compost & Seed Library — a mobile unit that could move through neighborhoods, making composting and gardening resources accessible to more residents. Weddington also received an honorable mention for proposing a community garden to grow herbs for medical treatments and an aid network. •Second Place was awarded to Jackie Popma, who envisioned community composting options for kitchen waste. Popma also earned an honorable mention for suggesting low-interest loans to support energy-efficient home improvements. •Third Place went to Brendan Bradley for his “Turning Trash to Treasure” proposal, which highlighted the value of composting food waste.

B A bus stop in Fowey, England, has been receiving artistic makeovers from creative locals for two decades. Known as the Pretty Bus Stop on Lankelly Lane in Cornwall, it was given its first transformation by Jane Tinsley after some damage. Over the next twenty years the stop has been decorated in a variety of themes,including a tea room, a yacht (帆船) race, a library, and even an Elvis-themed stop at one point Volunteers regularly step forward to give it a fresh look, especially during the winter. Sarah Worne, an artist who has been involved since 2021, recently created a plant-themed design called Thyme to Stop, which features real and painted pots of seedlings and plants, giving the stop the feel of a greenhouse. “It was cold coming into February and everybody needed a bit of warmth,” Sarah said. “This design makes it feel cosy while people wait for the bus.” Sarah enjoys the project because it brings joy to others. “I always like keeping busy and doing things that make people smile, just for fun.” she added. The bus stop even has a dedicated Facebook page, with more than 2,700 followers, showcasing its many designs over the years. “We love getting the community involved. For example, I have challenged Fowey River Lions to do a design and they are having a go this year at Easter, which has led neighbors to come together, discuss ideas, and work towards a common goal,” Sarah said. Sarah has thought about decorating other bus stops but hasn’t yet taken the time to talk to the owners. “The bus stop in Fowey is actually owned by the town council. You do have to workout who owns the bus stops and I haven’t gone down that route — but I certainly got my eve on a couple of other bus stops that could do with brightening up.” 24. What does the underlined word “makeovers” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Decorations. B. Achievements. C. Inspirations. D. Traditions. 25 What is the purpose of Sarah’s design? A. To display her talent for art. B. To warm the plants in winter. C. To bring warmth to people. D. To provide a place for reading. 26. What can be learned about the bus stop from paragraph 5? A. It boosts a sense of community. B. It owes its popularity to Facebook. C. It is owned by Fowey River Lions. D. It is funded by the local community. 27. What is Sarah most likely to do before decorating a bus stop? A. Contact qualified designers. B. Apply to the town council C. Gain its owner’s permission. D. Clarify its current location. C Speaking more than one language may benefit children’s executive (执行的) function — especially those with autism spectrum (自闭症谱系) disorder (ASD), a recent analysis suggests. The study, published in Autism Research, looked at 116 children aged 7 through 12. Of those, 53 had autism spectrum disorder and 63 did not, though 4 children were later excluded. Twenty-one of the children with ASD spoke more than one language, and 35 of the typically developing children were multilingual (讲多种语言的). Most of the multilingual children spoke English and Spanish, though some spoke Portuguese, Hebrew, French, Japanese or Bulgarian in addition to English. The researchers tested the children’s executive function abilities and asked parents to fill out surveys assessing autism behaviors such as viewpoint taking — the ability to understand viewpoints other than one’s own — and social communication. The multilingual children all demonstrated better executive function than their counterparts who spoke just one language, regardless of whether they were on the autism spectrum. But the effect was more salient in multilingual kids with ASD. These kids had much better self-control than those who only spoke one language and had ASD. The research also found a “direct and indirect association between multilingualism and viewpoint taking.” This could be because people who speak more than one language must assess social signals to decide which language to speak or that their knowledge of more than one language comes with a higher ability to understand language itself, the researchers said. Multilingual children’s executive functions could be improved by the need to choose the right language to speak, the researchers write. “If you have to balance two languages, you have to control one in order to use the other,” said Lucina Uddin, who was a professor at the University of Miami during the research. “That’s the idea. The ability to stop yourself from doing something might be strengthened by knowing two languages.” Encouraging multilingualism at home could benefit kids with autism spectrum disorders, the researchers conclude, and could even provide a “natural intervention” for some types of executive function. 28. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the study? A. Its conclusion. B. Its participants. C. Its procedures. D. Its significance. 29. What does the underlined word “salient” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Predictable. B. Noticeable. C. Potential. D. Serious. 30. What conclusion can we draw about multilingual children? A. They are less likely to be sidetracked. B. They are more creative in language use. C. They are better at controlling themselves. D. They are more likely to have language disorders 31. What’s the researchers’ attitude to promoting multilingualism at home for autistic children? A. Negative. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. D Whenever a solar eclipse(日食)occurs, life seems to stand still for a brief moment. Humans watch the sky, animals display odd behaviors, but what about plants? It turns out that plant life has its own way of dealing with this astronomical event. A new study has shown that trees react to solar eclipses and even anticipate them hours in advance, synchronizing(使同步)their bioelectrical signals in preparation. In the study, researchers focused on the electrome of trees—this network includes the bioelectrical signals they generate to communicate and adjust responses to environmental changes. To see the electrome in action, the researchers measured bioelectrical signals in spruce trees located in the Dolomites during a partial solar eclipse. They finished this by setting up a system of sensors that could continuously collect data from the trees during the event. The data revealed that trees’ signals became more synchronized before and during the solar eclipse. Hours before the eclipse the trees were able to anticipate the astronomical event and change their bioelectrical behavior to prepare for upcoming effects like drops in sap(汁液)flow. This was most prominent in older trees, which may have gained such impressive anticipatory abilities by growing accustomed to eclipse patterns over their long lifespan. After the older trees prepared themselves for the eclipse, the rest of the trees followed suit, demonstrating a close connection shared by the whole forest. “The revelation that trees can band together to prepare for eclipses highlights the critical importance of protecting older forests, which serve as a guard of an ecosystem by preserving and spreading invaluable ecological knowledge,” said lead author Monica Gagliano. Researchers aren’t certain about the specific clues that enabled the trees to anticipate the solar eclipse. It’s possible, however, that trees’ behavior may be a result of gravitational forces caused by the positioning of the Moon and Sun in the sky. Additional details on the power of trees—especially their capacity to anticipate and adapt to environmental changes—have yet to be uncovered, which is another reason why researchers are stressing the importance of preserving trees. 32. What did the researchers do in the study? A. They controlled the side effects on trees. B. They employed sensors for data collection. C. The measured various tree species’ signals. D. They tracked the tested trees after the event. 33. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A Dangerous. B. Temporary. C. Obvious. D. Complicated. 34. Which of the following shows the researchers’ opinion? A. Older forests are in great danger. B. It’s very necessary to protect trees. C. The cause of trees’ behavior is certain. D. Environmental changes are unpredictable. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. An astronomical event is threatening trees. B. Trees’ anticipatory capacity remains stable. C. Forests serve as a guard of an ecosystem. D. Trees communicate to prepare for a solar eclipse. 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。 Knowledge management is one of the most vital aspects of workplace progress. When employees fail to get access to the knowledge for completing their tasks, the organization suffers. Here are four strategies you can use to encourage your employees to share knowledge in the workplace. · ____36____ While you expect knowledge sharing in your workplace, not everyone is open to it. It’s helpful to make the workplace a place where sharing knowledge can become second nature for employees. ____37____ These can comprise increased interactions, team-building exercises, quizzes and collaborations. Even with office tasks, assign groups to work together and share knowledge. ·Recognize and reward knowledge sharing. Positive reinforcement (强化) works everywhere. ____38____ Try to reward employees who are making an effort to share knowledge. This will show other people that sharing and helping people understand concepts is rewarded and encouraged, thereby motivating more people to do it. You can give the rewards after they do the task or at the end of an office year. ·Manage communication barriers between employees. Effective communication between employees is a must for the smooth working of an organization. ____39____ When the communication barriers between employees are removed, knowledge sharing will be a simple process. You can establish an online platform which facilitates easy communication. ·Lead by example. If you don’t follow knowledge-sharing systems, it will be challenging for the rest of the organization to do it. Therefore, you must lead by example and show that it’s equally important for everyone to share knowledge. Whenever there’s a knowledge-sharing activity, you should be the first one to begin because, ultimately, your knowledge is being passed on to employees. ____40____ A. Organizations are no exception. B. Come up with a contribution campaign. C. Create a knowledge-sharing environment. D. For this, you can include different activities in day-to-day tasks. E. Employees should naturally feel the need to communicate with others. F. If there are barriers to it, employees will get discouraged from sharing knowledge. G. The more you get involved in such activities, the more willing employees will be to do it. 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。 When my older son Jack was in high school, he accepted a summer job selling solar panels door-to-door.

Besides my job in the library, I was a part-time writer. I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer, even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada. A few months ago, I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry, so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration. The instant I picked up the phone, the editor greeted me excitedly, “Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing (评论) books for us. You’ll have a month to write your review, and we do pay.” Reviewing books? I had never written a review before, at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers. Sure, I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles, but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked. This request was something entirely different. Could I do it? I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others’ work. After all I was only an occasional poet and library assistant. My spirits sank when they didn’t even mention my poetry; instead, they wanted me to review someone else’s writing. “I have a novel here. It’s by a well-known author. Would you like me to send it to you?” the editor asked. Suddenly, my heart whispered, “You can do it and say ‘yes’ now!” “Yes,” I then said. The book arrived soon. I felt anxious. Again, my heart said, “Take it one step at a time. First, read the book.” So, I did. I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story. Now what? I sat at my computer, with fingers frozen. “Think! Think! Think! What are you going to say?” I whispered and remained still for several minutes. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Just start writing down anything,” I told myself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It wasn’t long before the editor replied. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I think we should plant something fast growing here.

Her team conducted a study of the blood sugar levels of twenty people. After nights of sleep, the people who slept with a light on had higher blood sugar levels the next morning compared to those who slept in total darkness. Doctors ZE said.
