Fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions are just two of the reasons for doing so. Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction (摩擦) between tyres and road. Air resistance increases with the square of the speed. This means that a car experiences 28% more air resistance at a speed of 130km/h than at 110km/h. Slower speed is not the only way to reduce the CO2 emissions from your car There are three automotive tips to help the climate else. STREAMLINE THE CAR 1. Unevenness (不均匀) increases the air resistance of your car, and so its CO2 emissions. Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%. GET UP THE GEARS (齿轮) QUICKLY 2. Petrol and diesel (柴油) cars should always be driven in the highest possible gear: the engine then has as few revolutions as possible. Fuel consumption between two gears can vary by up to 20%. MAINTAIN TYRE PRESSURE 3. Car tyres at the recommended pressure ensure ideal driving. If the tyre pressure drops to 75% pressure, fuel consumption increases by 2%. If it drops by half, the increase is as much as 10%. Here’s the breakdown of fuel consumption impact of driving habits and vehicle adjustments from the Federation of Danish Motorists (FDM). 1 Why does driving at a lower speed help cut fuel use? A. It weakens the physical forces the car must fight against. B. It changes the way air resistance affects the car. C. It lightens the weight of the moving vehicle. D. It makes the engine work at a higher speed. 2. What will happen if a car’s windows are wide open while driving? A. It’ll lower the car’s air resistance. B. It’ll reduce the car’s CO₂ emissions. C. It’ll lead to a sharp rise in fuel use. D. It’ll make the car run more smoothly. 3. What is the fuel-saving effect of reducing speed from 130km/h to 110km/h according to FDM data? A. 10%. B. 16%. C. Up to 20%. D. Nearly 28%. B THE PALISADES FIRE in Los Angeles burned Charlotte Tragos’s home to the ground. “It was a pretty special and unique house,” says Tragos, who fled with her family when the fire broke out. “The streets were packed with people running, driving on the wrong side of the road,” she says, adding that everyone knew they were running for their lives. A few days after the fire started, a friend shared a video with her of a Los Angeles artist offering to create, for free, watercolor paintings of people’s homes before they were scorched (烧焦). Tragos reached out to the artist, Jordan Heber, asking if she could do Tragos’s childhood home. Heber accepted and completed a painting of Tragos’s home in just three days. Tragos says she will forever be grateful to Heber. “It means the world,” she says. “We’re in a position where we have nothing, and anything like that, especially pieces that mark what the house meant to us — it is really uplifting.” “I moved around a lot when I was younger, and so the meaning of home is significant to me,” Heber says. After the wildfires started, Heber thought about ways she could contribute. A friend sent her an Instagram post by another local artist offering to draw people’s homes at no charge, and Heber was inspired. Shortly after she posted her offer on social media, requests started coming in. Heber has created more than 25 paintings, including one for Jeremy Wineberg, whose home in Pacific Palisades was destroyed. “It was a place you never wanted to leave,” says Wineberg, adding that the house had been in his family for nearly 30 years. “We told her our story, and she so kindly and lovingly made such a beautiful memory that looks exactly as if it was a photograph,” says Wineberg. Heber is glad people find her paintings meaningful, saying, “Hopefully it inspires others to pitch in with their own gifts.” 4. How did Tragos feel about Heber’s painting of her childhood home? A. She viewed it mainly as a beautiful piece of artwork. B. She felt it failed to capture the true memory of her home. C. She found it emotionally comforting during a difficult time. D. She considered it a practical replacement for her lost belongings. 5. Why did Jordan Heber offer to paint for wildfire victims? A. She needed to improve her painting skills. B. She was responding to numerous requests. C. She was inspired by an artist’s act of kindness. D. She valued the meaning of home since childhood. 6. Which of the following can best describe Jordan Heber? A. Conservative and selfless. B. Innovative and compassionate. C. Humble and adventurous. D. Enterprising and devoted. 7. What can be inferred from Jordan Heber’s words in the last paragraph? A. She wants to teach wildfire victims how to paint. B. She hopes to encourage more people to help others. C. She regrets not being able to help more wildfire victims. D. She plans to stop painting and focus on her full-time job. C We know that some animals live longer than others, but we do not yet fully understand why. Researchers have previously identified brain size and metabolic (新陈代谢) rates as factors that can vary lifespan, but now evolutionary researchers from the UK’s University of Bath have found another factor, and it’s one that could be key to understanding why cats tend to live longer than dogs. “Our study reveals the surprising role played by the immune system-not just in fighting disease, but also in supporting longevity across a wide range of mammals,” says Benjamin from the University of Bath’s Centre for Evolution. The research does not dismiss the other reasons, rather suggesting longevity is a combination of factors. The researchers investigated the maximum lifespan of 46 different mammalian species, comparing the animals’ genes. The team studied dolphins, which can live for up to 39 years, and other whales that live for up to 100 years, but they also looked into smaller animals such as mice, which typically live for only one to two years. The results showed that certain small animals live longer than expected, such as naked mole rats, which can live 20 years despite a small size and brain. The species that live the longest had more genes associated with their immune system, according to the researchers; the team believes that a strong immune system acts to eliminate damaged cells, while also fighting infections and preventing disease. Cats are gifted with a strong natural immunity through a diverse set of immune-related genes, whereas the selective breeding of dogs has left some breeds with inherited immune deficiencies (缺陷). The researchers now intend to look deeper into significant differences in the lifespans of different mammals by investigating specific genes that relate to cancer and other life-shortening diseases. 8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By comparing findings. D. By providing statistics. 9. What did the University of Bath researchers focus on? A. Daily eating habits. B. Living environments. C. Genetic characteristics. D. Reproductive patterns. 10. Why does the author mention naked mole rats? A. To compare their lifespan with that of mice. B. To explain why small animals live shorter lives. C. To show naked mole rats have the longest lifespan. D. To prove size and brain size don’t determine lifespan. 11. What is the researchers’ next plan? A. To study the immune system of cats and dogs. B. To explore genes associated with severe diseases. C. To confirm the role of metabolic rates in lifespan. D. To investigate the effect of breeding on immunity. D There are many things that are opposed by Robert F. Kennedy junior, America’s health secretary, and his supporters. One that really upsets them is seed oils. In their telling, the oils are “toxic”. Now some American fast-food chains have swapped the oils for other fats. Is the stuff as bad as they make out? Seed oils are extracted from corn, soyabean, sunflower and other seeds. Critics worry most about two things. The first is that harmful chemicals used in oil processing may end up in the finished product. The second is the oils’ content of omega-6 fatty acids. This type of fat, opponents claim, causes cancer, heart attacks and obesity. On both counts, the scientific evidence says otherwise. A chief concern for seed-oil opponents is that linoleic acid (亚油酸) , the main omega-6 fat in seed oils, can turn into inflammatory (炎症的) compounds in the body. Yet it is also broken down into some anti-inflammatory compounds. That makes it hard to work out whether it is pro- or anti-inflammatory overall. In trials, increasing participants’ consumption of linoleic acid had no effect on inflammatory markers in their bodies. There are also clear benefits: seed oils are high in healthy polyunsaturated (多不饱和的) fats, meaning that choosing them over saturated fats like butter lowers cholesterol levels, which cuts the risk of heart attacks. Long-term observational studies reach equally reassuring conclusions. A recent one found that those following diets high in vegetable oils lived longer, healthier lives than those whose diets were low in vegetable oils. An earlier study, published by the World Health Organisation, found that higher intake of omega-6 fats was linked with lower death rates. In short, seed oils are unlikely to cause harm — in fact, they are probably good for you, especially if they are consumed in moderation and supplemented by other, healthy fats. Overconsumption is usually the consequence of a generally unhealthy diet, full of fried or ultra-processed foods. spoon for spoon, seed oils are much healthier than some of the alternatives championed by their critics. 12. Why do critics oppose seed oils? A. They are extracted mainly from seeds of plants. B. They are no longer a key ingredient in fast-food. C They are a leading contributor to several diseases. D. Their extraction procedure poses a threat to health. 13. Which of the following might the author agree with? A Omega-6 fatty acids are unhealthy. B. Butter helps reduce cholesterol levels. C. The effect of linoleic acid is confirmed. D. Seed oils contribute to a longer lifespan. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Alternative fats advocated by critics are harmful. B. Seed oils are harmless when consumed in moderation. C. Seed oils can serve as a supplement for fats like butter. D. The nutritional benefits of seed oils have been undervalued. 15. What is the suitable title of the passage? A. Dismiss the Doubts: What Is in Seed Oils? B. Put the Fears to Rest: The Truth About Seed Oils C. Weigh the Options: Seed Oils or Traditional Fats? D. Mind the Threat: The Hidden Danger in Your Kitchen 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。 Many of us get lost in social media. Worldwide, the average adult spends more than 2. 5 hours per day immersed in social apps. All that scrolling (滚屏) can cause harm: too much social media use is linked with loneliness, depressive symptoms and poor self-esteem. ____16____ Here are some strategies to help reset your relationship with social media. ____17____ When you start to feel overwhelmed by social media, return to a “tech intentions” document: a record of the ways you will and will not use the apps. For example, “I use social media to connect with others, to learn new things daily, to record my life, and to express myself creatively, ” or “I do not use social media as a replacement for IRL. ” Write your own version, and stick it to your desk or wherever you might be distracted to mindlessly scroll. Set specific goals Committing to using social media less is too general a resolution to be effective. Instead, set specific goals or boundaries. ____18____ Then, set up systems to make that possible: Put your phone in another room, or put it on “do not disturb”. Go on an unfollowing spree (狂欢) Is it serving you to keep getting updates about your friends, or from the reality stars? Maybe you’re no longer crazy about baby pandas and are now on to quokkas. ____19____ Unfollow the accounts that are no longer fulfilling a role, and instead seek out those that are inspiring, educational, or related to hobbies you’d like to cultivate. Make a list of scrolling substitutes If you weren’t scrolling through social media posts, what would you be doing? Make a list of activities you enjoy — and make sure they’re intellectually, emotionally, or physically feeding you. You might go for a walk, read a book, take up the guitar, or try out some crafting projects. ____20____ A. Craft a mission statement. B. Record your personal preference. C. So take the time to think about what’s working. D. At times we’re not even aware of how we’re using it. E. Maybe you get three 20-minute social media sessions per day. F. You have finished the party and don’t need to keep seeing fancy dresses. G. There’s no way to check Facebook if your fingers are busy weaving clothes. 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。 Ellie had signed up for an embroidery (刺绣) class and resolved to make a ___21___ for her grandmother, but her excitement ___22___ when she saw the remaining seat next to Perfect Paula.

That day, I was carrying express boxes upstairs when she slowly came down, holding the handrail (楼梯扶手). She gave me an oil-paper wrapped candy: “Young man, take care — these stairs are slippery.” I thanked her quickly and hurried on. Her door was always piled high with junk, and the potted plants on her windowsill (窗台) were wilted (枯萎的), giving off a lonely, cold atmosphere. The change happened on a rainy night. I worked overtime late and rushed into the corridor with my electric bike, only to see Grandma Chen squatting (蹲着) at my door, soaked through, clutching a plastic bag tightly. “You’re back!” She stood up hurriedly and held out the bag. “I saw your jasmine (茉莉) fell over on the balcony this afternoon. I was afraid the rain would ruin its roots, so I moved it inside.” I suddenly remembered I’d forgotten to bring in the new jasmine pot that morning. Inside the bag, the flower was wrapped in an old towel, leaves still dotted with water — unharmed. I urged her into my house to dry off, but she waved me away: “Don’t bother. I’m just a dirty old lady.” As she spoke, she slipped and stumbled toward the stairs. I caught her just in time and noticed her swollen knee. That night, I applied medicine to her knee. She sat on my sofa restlessly, repeating, “I’m troubling you so much.” After that, I made sure to chat with Grandma Chen whenever we met. She still spoke little, but every morning when I left, there would be a bag of fresh vegetables from her small garden downstairs at my door. Last Saturday, I forgot to take out the trash before a business trip. When I came back, my doorway was spotless. Grandma Chen’s door was slightly open, and I heard faint coughing inside. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 I pushed the door gently. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once Grandma Chen recovered, she knocked on my door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 枣阳二中2026届高三年级2月月考英语试题 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，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了降低车速、优化车身设计、快速换挡及保持轮胎压力等可减少汽车燃油消耗和二氧化碳排放。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction (摩擦) between tyres and road.(你开得越慢，燃油消耗就越少，因为行驶中的汽车需要克服的物理阻力就越少，比如空气阻力和轮胎与路面之间的滚动摩擦力)”可知，以较低的速度行驶有助于减少燃油消耗是因为它削弱了汽车必须对抗的物理力。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据STREAMLINE THE CAR部分中“Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%.(四个打开的窗户会使燃油消耗增加高达27%)”可知，如果开车时车窗大开，会导致燃油使用量急剧上升。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表中“Speed:130→110 km/h (Fuel/CO₂ Saving)(车速：130 →110公里/小时（燃油/二氧化碳节省）)”对应的“16%”可知，根据FDM的数据，将车速从130km/h降至110km/h的节油效果是16%。故选B。 B THE PALISADES FIRE in Los Angeles burned Charlotte Tragos’s home to the ground. “It was a pretty special and unique house,” says Tragos, who fled with her family when the fire broke out. “The streets were packed with people running, driving on the wrong side of the road,” she says, adding that everyone knew they were running for their lives. A few days after the fire started, a friend shared a video with her of a Los Angeles artist offering to create, for free, watercolor paintings of people’s homes before they were scorched (烧焦). Tragos reached out to the artist, Jordan Heber, asking if she could do Tragos’s childhood home. Heber accepted and completed a painting of Tragos’s home in just three days. Tragos says she will forever be grateful to Heber. “It means the world,” she says. “We’re in a position where we have nothing, and anything like that, especially pieces that mark what the house meant to us — it is really uplifting.” “I moved around a lot when I was younger, and so the meaning of home is significant to me,” Heber says. After the wildfires started, Heber thought about ways she could contribute. A friend sent her an Instagram post by another local artist offering to draw people’s homes at no charge, and Heber was inspired. Shortly after she posted her offer on social media, requests started coming in. Heber has created more than 25 paintings, including one for Jeremy Wineberg, whose home in Pacific Palisades was destroyed. “It was a place you never wanted to leave,” says Wineberg, adding that the house had been in his family for nearly 30 years. “We told her our story, and she so kindly and lovingly made such a beautiful memory that looks exactly as if it was a photograph,” says Wineberg. Heber is glad people find her paintings meaningful, saying, “Hopefully it inspires others to pitch in with their own gifts.” 4. How did Tragos feel about Heber’s painting of her childhood home? A. She viewed it mainly as a beautiful piece of artwork. B. She felt it failed to capture the true memory of her home. C. She found it emotionally comforting during a difficult time. D. She considered it a practical replacement for her lost belongings. 5. Why did Jordan Heber offer to paint for wildfire victims? A. She needed to improve her painting skills. B. She was responding to numerous requests. C. She was inspired by an artist’s act of kindness. D. She valued the meaning of home since childhood. 6. Which of the following can best describe Jordan Heber? A. Conservative and selfless. B. Innovative and compassionate. C. Humble and adventurous. D. Enterprising and devoted. 7. What can be inferred from Jordan Heber’s words in the last paragraph? A. She wants to teach wildfire victims how to paint. B. She hopes to encourage more people to help others. C. She regrets not being able to help more wildfire victims. D. She plans to stop painting and focus on her full-time job. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7.

A friend sent her an Instagram post by another local artist offering to draw people’s homes at no charge, and Heber was inspired.(火灾发生后，赫伯一直在思考自己能做些什么来提供帮助。一位朋友给她看了另一位当地艺术家在照片墙发布的免费为人们绘制故居的帖子，赫伯受到了启发。)”可知，赫伯是受到另一位艺术家善举的启发，才决定为灾民作画。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的 “A few days after the fire started, a friend shared a video with her of a Los Angeles artist offering to create, for free, watercolor paintings of people’s homes before they were scorched (烧焦)(火灾发生几天后，一位朋友给她分享了一段视频，视频里是一位洛杉矶的艺术家，主动提出免费为人们创作他们的家园被烧焦前的水彩画。)”，赫伯主动免费为灾民绘制故居，用画作承载他们对家的记忆，切实慰藉了受灾者的心灵，是同情心的直接体现。根据第三段提到 “After the wildfires started, Heber thought about ways she could contribute(野火发生后，赫伯一直在思考自己能做些什么来提供帮助)，火灾发生后她主动寻求助力灾民的途径，体现出对受灾者的关怀。根据第四段 “We told her our story, and she so kindly and lovingly made such a beautiful memory that looks exactly as if it was a photograph, ” says Wineberg.(怀恩伯格说：“我们给她讲了我们和这座房子的故事，而她则满怀善意与温情，为我们创作了这样一件承载美好回忆的作品，画面逼真得宛如一张照片。”)”能看出，这种艺术帮扶的方式新颖且有温度，区别于常规救灾手段，体现了创新性。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Heber is glad people find her paintings meaningful, saying, “Hopefully it inspires others to pitch in with their own gifts. ”(赫伯很高兴人们觉得她的画有意义，她说：“希望这能激励其他人用自己的特长伸出援手。”)”可知，赫伯希望自己的行为能鼓励更多人发挥自身优势去帮助他人。故选B项。 C We know that some animals live longer than others, but we do not yet fully understand why. Researchers have previously identified brain size and metabolic (新陈代谢) rates as factors that can vary lifespan, but now evolutionary researchers from the UK’s University of Bath have found another factor, and it’s one that could be key to understanding why cats tend to live longer than dogs. “Our study reveals the surprising role played by the immune system-not just in fighting disease, but also in supporting longevity across a wide range of mammals,” says Benjamin from the University of Bath’s Centre for Evolution. The research does not dismiss the other reasons, rather suggesting longevity is a combination of factors. The researchers investigated the maximum lifespan of 46 different mammalian species, comparing the animals’ genes. The team studied dolphins, which can live for up to 39 years, and other whales that live for up to 100 years, but they also looked into smaller animals such as mice, which typically live for only one to two years. The results showed that certain small animals live longer than expected, such as naked mole rats, which can live 20 years despite a small size and brain. The species that live the longest had more genes associated with their immune system, according to the researchers; the team believes that a strong immune system acts to eliminate damaged cells, while also fighting infections and preventing disease. Cats are gifted with a strong natural immunity through a diverse set of immune-related genes, whereas the selective breeding of dogs has left some breeds with inherited immune deficiencies (缺陷). The researchers now intend to look deeper into significant differences in the lifespans of different mammals by investigating specific genes that relate to cancer and other life-shortening diseases. 8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By comparing findings. D. By providing statistics. 9. What did the University of Bath researchers focus on? A. Daily eating habits. B. Living environments. C. Genetic characteristics. D. Reproductive patterns. 10. Why does the author mention naked mole rats? A. To compare their lifespan with that of mice. B. To explain why small animals live shorter lives. C. To show naked mole rats have the longest lifespan. D. To prove size and brain size don’t determine lifespan. 11. What is the researchers’ next plan? A. To study the immune system of cats and dogs. B. To explore genes associated with severe diseases. C. To confirm the role of metabolic rates in lifespan. D To investigate the effect of breeding on immunity. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了巴斯大学的一项新研究，发现强大的免疫系统和相关基因是哺乳动物长寿的关键因素，这解释了为何猫通常比狗长寿。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We know that some animals live longer than others, but we do not yet fully understand why. Researchers have previously identified brain size and metabolic (新陈代谢) rates as factors that can vary lifespan, but now evolutionary researchers from the UK’s University of Bath have found another factor, and it’s one that could be key to understanding why cats tend to live longer than dogs.(我们知道有些动物比其他动物活得更久，但我们尚未完全理解其中的原因。研究人员此前已确认脑容量和新陈代谢率是影响寿命的因素，但现在英国巴斯大学的进化研究人员发现了另一个因素，这可能是理解为什么猫往往比狗长寿的关键)”可知，作者在第一段通过对比分析结果提出这个问题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers investigated the maximum lifespan of 46 different mammalian species, comparing the animals’ genes.(研究人员对46种不同哺乳动物的最长寿命进行了研究，并对这些动物的基因进行了比较)”可知，巴斯大学的研究人员关注的是遗传特征。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The results showed that certain small animals live longer than expected, such as naked mole rats, which can live 20 years despite a small size and brain.(研究结果表明，某些小型动物的寿命比预期的要长，比如裸鼹鼠，尽管体型小且大脑较小，但它们的寿命却能长达20年)”可知，作者提及裸鼹鼠以证明体型和大脑大小并不能决定寿命。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers now intend to look deeper into significant differences in the lifespans of different mammals by investigating specific genes that relate to cancer and other life-shortening diseases.(研究人员现在打算进一步探究不同哺乳动物寿命上的显著差异，为此他们将研究与癌症及其他缩短寿命的疾病相关的特定基因)”可知，研究人员接下来的计划是探索与严重疾病相关的基因。故选B。 D There are many things that are opposed by Robert F. Kennedy junior, America’s health secretary, and his supporters. One that really upsets them is seed oils. In their telling, the oils are “toxic”. Now some American fast-food chains have swapped the oils for other fats. Is the stuff as bad as they make out? Seed oils are extracted from corn, soyabean, sunflower and other seeds. Critics worry most about two things. The first is that harmful chemicals used in oil processing may end up in the finished product. The second is the oils’ content of omega-6 fatty acids. This type of fat, opponents claim, causes cancer, heart attacks and obesity. On both counts, the scientific evidence says otherwise. A chief concern for seed-oil opponents is that linoleic acid (亚油酸) , the main omega-6 fat in seed oils, can turn into inflammatory (炎症的) compounds in the body. Yet it is also broken down into some anti-inflammatory compounds. That makes it hard to work out whether it is pro- or anti-inflammatory overall. In trials, increasing participants’ consumption of linoleic acid had no effect on inflammatory markers in their bodies. There are also clear benefits: seed oils are high in healthy polyunsaturated (多不饱和的) fats, meaning that choosing them over saturated fats like butter lowers cholesterol levels, which cuts the risk of heart attacks. Long-term observational studies reach equally reassuring conclusions. A recent one found that those following diets high in vegetable oils lived longer, healthier lives than those whose diets were low in vegetable oils. An earlier study, published by the World Health Organisation, found that higher intake of omega-6 fats was linked with lower death rates. In short, seed oils are unlikely to cause harm — in fact, they are probably good for you, especially if they are consumed in moderation and supplemented by other, healthy fats. Overconsumption is usually the consequence of a generally unhealthy diet, full of fried or ultra-processed foods. spoon for spoon, seed oils are much healthier than some of the alternatives championed by their critics. 12. Why do critics oppose seed oils? A. They are extracted mainly from seeds of plants. B. They are no longer a key ingredient in fast-food. C. They are a leading contributor to several diseases. D. Their extraction procedure poses a threat to health. 13. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Omega-6 fatty acids are unhealthy. B. Butter helps reduce cholesterol levels. C. The effect of linoleic acid is confirmed. D. Seed oils contribute to a longer lifespan. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Alternative fats advocated by critics are harmful. B. Seed oils are harmless when consumed in moderation. C. Seed oils can serve as a supplement for fats like butter. D. The nutritional benefits of seed oils have been undervalued. 15. What is the suitable title of the passage? A. Dismiss the Doubts: What Is in Seed Oils? B. Put the Fears to Rest: The Truth About Seed Oils C. Weigh the Options: Seed Oils or Traditional Fats? D. Mind the Threat: The Hidden Danger in Your Kitchen 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文针对“种子油有害”的观点展开分析，结合科学研究与证据，阐明适量食用种子油无害且有益的真相。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first is that harmful chemicals used in oil processing may end up in the finished product. The second is the oils’ content of omega-6 fatty acids. This type of fat, opponents claim, causes cancer, heart attacks and obesity.(一是榨油过程中使用的有害化学物质可能会残留在成品中；二是这类油含有欧米伽-6脂肪酸，反对者称这种脂肪会引发癌症、心脏病和肥胖症)”可知，批评者认为榨油加工会残留有害化学物质，所以对健康有威胁。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A recent one found that those following diets high in vegetable oils lived longer, healthier lives than those whose diets were low in vegetable oils.(最近的一项研究发现，饮食中植物油含量高的人，比植物油含量低的人活得更久、更健康)”并结合文中种子油属于植物油这一信息可推断，作者会认同种子油有助于延长寿命这一观点。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, seed oils are unlikely to cause harm — in fact, they are probably good for you, especially if they are consumed in moderation and supplemented by other, healthy fats.(简而言之，种子油不太可能对人体造成伤害——事实上，它们可能对你有益，尤其是在适量食用并辅以其他健康脂肪的情况下)”可知，适量食用种子油是无害的。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“There are many things that are opposed by Robert F. Kennedy junior, America’s health secretary, and his supporters. One that really upsets them is seed oils. In their telling, the oils are “toxic”. Now some American fast-food chains have swapped the oils for other fats. Is the stuff as bad as they make out?(美国卫生部长小罗伯特・F・肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy junior）及其支持者反对诸多事物，种子油便是其中让他们格外不满的一种。在他们看来，这类油 “具有毒性”。如今美国部分快餐连锁店已将其替换为其他油脂。这种油真的如他们所言那般有害吗)”可知，文章开篇引出人们对种子油的质疑，随后通过科学研究和证据反驳了“种子油有害”的观点，阐明了种子油的益处。B选项“Put the Fears to Rest: The Truth About Seed Oils(打消顾虑：种子油的真相)”最能概括全文主旨。故选B项。 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。 Many of us get lost in social media. Worldwide, the average adult spends more than 2. 5 hours per day immersed in social apps. All that scrolling (滚屏) can cause harm: too much social media use is linked with loneliness, depressive symptoms and poor self-esteem. ____16____ Here are some strategies to help reset your relationship with social media. ____17____ When you start to feel overwhelmed by social media, return to a “tech intentions” document: a record of the ways you will and will not use the apps. For example, “I use social media to connect with others, to learn new things daily, to record my life, and to express myself creatively, ” or “I do not use social media as a replacement for IRL. ” Write your own version, and stick it to your desk or wherever you might be distracted to mindlessly scroll. Set specific goals Committing to using social media less is too general a resolution to be effective. Instead, set specific goals or boundaries. ____18____ Then, set up systems to make that possible: Put your phone in another room, or put it on “do not disturb”. Go on an unfollowing spree (狂欢) Is it serving you to keep getting updates about your friends, or from the reality stars? Maybe you’re no longer crazy about baby pandas and are now on to quokkas. ____19____ Unfollow the accounts that are no longer fulfilling a role, and instead seek out those that are inspiring, educational, or related to hobbies you’d like to cultivate. Make a list of scrolling substitutes If you weren’t scrolling through social media posts, what would you be doing? Make a list of activities you enjoy — and make sure they’re intellectually, emotionally, or physically feeding you. You might go for a walk, read a book, take up the guitar, or try out some crafting projects. ____20____ A. Craft a mission statement. B. Record your personal preference. C. So take the time to think about what’s working. D. At times we’re not even aware of how we’re using it. E. Maybe you get three 20-minute social media sessions per day. F. You have finished the party and don’t need to keep seeing fancy dresses. G. There’s no way to check Facebook if your fingers are busy weaving clothes. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文指出过度使用社交媒体的危害，并介绍拟定使用宗旨、设定目标等四种调整社交媒体使用方式的策略。 【16题详解】 由上文“All that scrolling (滚屏) can cause harm: too much social media use is linked with loneliness, depressive symptoms and poor self-esteem.(所有这些刷屏行为都会造成伤害：过度使用社交媒体与孤独感、抑郁症状和自卑心理有关)”可知，前文指出了过度使用社交媒体的危害，空格处需要承接这一内容，进一步说明人们使用社交媒体时的状态。D项“At times we’re not even aware of how we’re using it.(有时我们甚至都没意识到自己是如何使用它的)”符合语境，既衔接了前文的危害，又引出下文调整社交媒体使用方式的策略。故选D项。 【17题详解】 由下文“When you start to feel overwhelmed by social media, return to a “tech intentions” document: a record of the ways you will and will not use the apps.(当你开始因社交媒体感到不知所措时，不妨回到一份“科技使用目标”文档：一份记录你将以何种方式、不以何种方式使用这些应用的清单)”可知，该段建议撰写一份明确社交媒体使用原则的文档，核心是制定使用准则。A项“Craft a mission statement.(拟定一份使用宗旨。)”能够概括本段主旨，适合作为小标题。故选A项。 【18题详解】 由上文“Instead, set specific goals or boundaries.(相反，要设定明确的目标或界限)”和下文“Then, set up systems to make that possible: Put your phone in another room, or put it on “do not disturb”. (然后，建立相应的机制来实现这个目标：把手机放到另一个房间，或者调成“勿扰模式”)” 可知，空格处需要填入一个具体的社交媒体使用目标的例子。E项“Maybe you get three 20-minute social media sessions per day.(比如你可以每天分三次使用社交媒体，每次20分钟)”是明确的使用界限，符合上下文逻辑。故选E项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Is it serving you to keep getting updates about your friends, or from the reality stars? Maybe you’re no longer crazy about baby pandas and are now on to quokkas.(持续关注朋友或真人秀明星的动态对你有意义吗？也许你已经不再痴迷熊猫幼崽，转而喜欢短尾矮袋鼠了)”和下文“Unfollow the accounts that are no longer fulfilling a role, and instead seek out those that are inspiring, educational, or related to hobbies you’d like to cultivate.(取消关注那些不再发挥作用的账户，而是寻找那些鼓舞人心、有教育意义或与你想培养的爱好相关的账户)”可知，空格处需要举一个不再需要关注的账号例子。F项“You have finished the party and don’t need to keep seeing fancy dresses.(你已经参加完派对，就没必要再看那些华丽的礼服了)”符合语境，与前文的例子并列，支撑“取关无意义账号”的观点。故选F项。 【20题详解】 由上文“Make a list of activities you enjoy — and make sure they’re intellectually, emotionally, or physically feeding you. You might go for a walk, read a book, take up the guitar, or try out some crafting projects. (列一张你喜欢的活动清单——确保这些活动能让你在精神、情感或身体上有所收获。比如散步、读书、学吉他或者尝试一些手工制作)”可知，空格处需要承接手工制作这类活动，说明其能避免无意识刷社交媒体的作用。G项“There’s no way to check Facebook if your fingers are busy weaving clothes.(如果你的手指忙着织布，就没空去刷脸书了)”用具体例子说明了替代活动如何减少社交媒体使用，符合语境。故选G项。 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。 Ellie had signed up for an embroidery (刺绣) class and resolved to make a ___21___ for her grandmother, but her excitement ___22___ when she saw the remaining seat next to Perfect Paula.

That day, I was carrying express boxes upstairs when she slowly came down, holding the handrail (楼梯扶手). She gave me an oil-paper wrapped candy: “Young man, take care — these stairs are slippery.” I thanked her quickly and hurried on. Her door was always piled high with junk, and the potted plants on her windowsill (窗台) were wilted (枯萎的), giving off a lonely, cold atmosphere. The change happened on a rainy night. I worked overtime late and rushed into the corridor with my electric bike, only to see Grandma Chen squatting (蹲着) at my door, soaked through, clutching a plastic bag tightly. “You’re back!” She stood up hurriedly and held out the bag. “I saw your jasmine (茉莉) fell over on the balcony this afternoon. I was afraid the rain would ruin its roots, so I moved it inside.” I suddenly remembered I’d forgotten to bring in the new jasmine pot that morning. Inside the bag, the flower was wrapped in an old towel, leaves still dotted with water — unharmed. I urged her into my house to dry off, but she waved me away: “Don’t bother. I’m just a dirty old lady.” As she spoke, she slipped and stumbled toward the stairs. I caught her just in time and noticed her swollen knee. That night, I applied medicine to her knee. She sat on my sofa restlessly, repeating, “I’m troubling you so much.” After that I made sure to chat with Grandma Chen whenever we met. She still spoke little, but every morning when I left, there would be a bag of fresh vegetables from her small garden downstairs at my door. Last Saturday, I forgot to take out the trash before a business trip. When I came back, my doorway was spotless. Grandma Chen’s door was slightly open, and I heard faint coughing inside. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 I pushed the door gently. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once Grandma Chen recovered, she knocked on my door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I pushed the door gently. Inside, I saw Grandma Chen lying on her bed, looking pale and weak. A bowl of medicine was placed beside her, and I could tell from the smell that it was bitter. “Are you feeling better?” I asked, sitting down beside her. She nodded weakly and said, “I’m just a bit tired. Thank you for taking care of me.” I realized then that she had been taking care of me too, in her own quiet way. Once Grandma Chen recovered, she knocked on my door. She held a basket of freshly picked vegetables in her hands and said, “I want to thank you for helping me when I was sick.” I smiled and invited her in, knowing that this simple act of kindness had brought us closer together. From that day on, we became like family, always there to lend a helping hand whenever one of us needed it, which made our lives in the old community much warmer. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者搬到老社区三个月仅与陈奶奶见过一次，一次雨夜她帮作者抢救了阳台的茉莉花且自己淋湿受伤，作者照顾她后，她常送蔬菜，还帮作者清理了门口的垃圾。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我轻轻推开房门。”可知，第一段可以描写作者探望生病陈奶奶的场景，包括看到的奶奶的状态、床边的药碗，以及两人的简短对话。 ②由第二段句首内容“陈奶奶病愈之后，特意敲响了我家的门。”可知，第二段可以描写奶奶康复后登门道谢的举动，作者邀请奶奶进屋的回应，进而点明这次互相帮扶的小事拉近了彼此的距离，最后升华主旨：邻里间的善意让老旧社区的生活变得温暖。 2.续写线索：轻轻推开房门——与奶奶对话，领悟其往日的照顾——奶奶康复后登门送菜道谢——邀请奶奶进屋，内心感到温暖——邻里间互帮互助，成为家人般的存在——善意让社区生活更温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坐下：sit down/take a seat/be seated ②点头：nod/nod one’s head/give a nod ③照顾：take care of/look after/attend to 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/express one’s thanks ②善良：kindness/goodness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I realized then that she had been taking care of me too, in her own quiet way.
