M:Good morning,everyone.In my class presentation today,I’d like to talk about how many books Americans read on average.
You probably have some books on your bedside table just as I do,but how many books do you actually end up finishing over the course of a year?If your answer is not very many,you’re not alone.According to Pew Research Center,about 25 percent of American adults said they hadn’t read a book in the last year in any form,28 percent of adults over 50 said they hadn’t read a book in the past year,while only 20 percent of adults under 50 could say the same.But another Pew report has some better news.It shows that about 75 percent of Americans said they had read a book in the past 12 months.When we add up all the books Americans have read over the course of a year,it comes to an average of 12 books a year per reader.However,this accounts for people who read a little more than normal:most Americans read about four books a year.So how are these books getting read?The study shows Americans still prefer printed books over audio or e-books with almost 40 percent of adults sticking just to print.
That’s all.Thank you!

There is no better way to immerse yourself in Saskatchewan’s diverse landscapes than by hitting one of the beautiful hiking trails.Here are three hikes to discover.
Gem Lakes,Narrow Hills Provincial Park
The Gem Lakes are located in the Narrow Hills Provincial Park of Saskatchewan.Their waters are fed by springs from the surrounding hills,reflecting the sun and creating gem-like colors.There is a 5-kilometre hiking trail that loops around the tiny lakes.You can bring a tent and spend the night in the campground.The lakes are stocked with fish and many people bring their kayaks to spend the day floating around in the tranquility of the water trying to catch a delicious meal.
Nut Point Trail,Lac La Ronge Provincial Park
Located on a peninsula that extends to the massive Lac La Ronge lake is the Nut Point trail,a 30-kilometre backcountry hike along the spine of billion year old rock.The hiking trail ends with a beautiful spot overlooking the historic Lac La Ronge Lake.Set up your tent on the rocks in order to enjoy the sounds of the water.If you’re lucky,the Northern Lights will explode overhead in night sky.Make sure you bring your bathing suit for a relaxing dip in the cool waters!
Sand Dunes (沙丘) Nature Trail,Douglas Provincial Park
Have you ever wanted to walk on a rolling sand dune? There are two places for you.The first are the famous Athabasca Sand Dunes,the world’s most northerly active sand dunes.The second are the Great Sandhills,a 1,900-square-kilometre protected area.The hike in Douglas Provincial Park sand dunes is a time machine of geological history.As you hike through the fine sand and learn more about what was only here a short 11,000 years ago,you will appreciate the geological forces that created the province as it stands today.

On March 1,Dr.Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface,the greater the pressure.Dr.Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time.He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older.It could also help doctors treat different medical problems,including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater,Dr.Dituri stayed busy.He often exercised in the morning.He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries.He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean.He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.
On June 9,Dr.Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record,beating the old record of 73 days.Many friends,family,and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success.Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.
Actually,Dr.Dituri went through several big changes.For one thing,he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure.Sleeping much better,his health greatly improved in a couple of ways.Dr.Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project.In November,Dr.Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.
Dr.Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people.“Who knows?” he said.“Maybe one day,one of them will come back and break the record we just set.My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.

Based on bone and tooth records,mammoths(猛犸象)were thought to have gone extinct about 12,000 years ago.But a new genetic sampling technique suggests the great beasts may have stuck around a lot longer.The story is in the soil.
Bones are rich sources of prehistoric genetic information,but not the only ones;items ranging from shed Ice Age skin cells to pine needles can contribute to the genetic record stored in dirt.Paleogeneticists(古遗传学家)have been analyzing “environmental DNA” from soil for a long time,but getting rid of non-DNA material without destroying these fragile clues is daunting(使人气馁的).
“Environmental samples contain a huge range of other chemical substances that are hard to separate from the DNA,” says McMaster University geneticist Tyler Murchie.“We can’t afford to lose whatever we can get.”
In the new approach,soil samples are got and then broken into smaller portions,stirred and run through a “cold spin method” to separate as much DNA as possible.The DNA is then compared against an existing genetic library to detect species matches.
The method is limited because researchers using it need to know what DNA to look for.If a saber-toothed cat species is not already in the genetic library,the analysis cannot detect that animal.For known species,however,the process may yield exciting information.In their study,the researchers detected about 2,100 kinds of plants and 180 animals.
Not yet published results from other field sites are yielding similar results,Murchie says,and future fossil discoveries could strengthen the case.“We can use this approach to identify species in places and times we never knew they existed,” he adds.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们通过研究泥土中动植物的DNA信息从而对它们获得更多的了解。
28.Why does the author mention “mammoths” in Paragraph 1?
A.To present a fact.
B.To show us an extinct animal.
C.To correct a mistake.
D.To introduce the topic of the passage.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“But a new genetic sampling technique suggests the great beasts may have stuck around a lot longer.The story is in the soil.”以及第二段中的“Paleogeneticists(古遗传学家)have been analyzing ‘environmental DNA’ from soil for a long time,but getting rid of non-DNA material without destroying these fragile clues is daunting(使人气馁的).”可知作者谈及猛犸象是为了引出文章的主题——科学家对DNA的研究。故选D。
29.Which word can best describe the work of getting rid of non-DNA material?
A.Challenging. B.Interesting.
C.Boring. D.Satisfying.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由文章第二段中的“...getting rid of non-DNA material without destroying these fragile clues is daunting(使人气馁的)”和第三段中的“Environmental samples contain a huge range of other chemical substances that are hard to separate from the DNA...”可知,从泥土中提取出有用的DNA信息是很困难并且很有挑战性的一项工作。故选A。
30.What is the disadvantage of the new method?
A.It is very slow.
B.It can’t detect unknown animals.
C.It is not very accurate.
D.It can only be carried out in the genetic library.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由文章第五段中的“The method is limited because researchers...the analysis cannot detect that animal.”可知,这个新方法的局限是:只能检测到已知物种,不能检测到未知物种。故选B。
31.What is the text?
A.A news report. B.A short story.
C.A book review. D.A research report.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Bones are rich sources...genetic record stored in dirt.”以及下文的介绍可知,本文介绍了科学家们通过研究泥土中动植物的DNA信息从而获得对它们更多的了解。据此可知本文是一篇研究报告。故选D。

Over the last decade,some European countries and the U.S.have replaced high-energy sodium streetlights with energy-saving LED lights which emit blue light.Although this is in response to the critical need to use less energy and reduce carbon emission,there are growing concerns that blue light may have a negative impact on human health that we don’t yet fully understand.
Earlier this year,the World Journal of Biological Psychiatry published a paper that warned of the potential effects of LED lighting on mental illnesses.It raised concerns about the influence of blue light on sleep,use of digital healthcare apps and devices,and the higher sensitivity to blue light.
“I had already clearly seen that additional blue light exposure was extremely helpful to patients with depression.What I was slower to realize was that too much and poorly-timed exposure could have harmful effects on mental states and the sleep-wake cycle.” said John Gottlieb,Professor of Psychiatry and author of the paper.
As we all know,melatonin (褪黑素) is fundamental in setting regular biological clock. According to the paper,however,blue light prevents melatonin secretion (分泌),which disturbs sleep and affects quality of life,physical and mental health.Besides,it also shows a clear and consistent relationship between sleep disorders and frequency of digital device usage.If a person is prescribed a self-monitoring app,and instructed to use their smartphone to document mood changes,for example,and they do this before bed,it could do harm to their sleep and health.
Consequently,the National Sleep Foundation guidelines suggest not using technology 30 minutes before bed and removing technology from the bedroom.However,there are no specific guidelines for people with a potential mental illness.Now,scientists,health professionals and the LED industry are working to minimize the blue light in LED bulbs and create personalized lights that won’t harm those suffering from mental disorders.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了LED照明中的蓝光对人类健康的潜在影响,特别是对睡眠和精神状态的影响,以及正在进行的努力来减少这种影响。
32.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A.To present the topic of blue light.
B.To give an example of streetlights.
C.To criticize the use of blue light.
D.To compare two kinds of lights.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第一段以及全文内容可知,文章第一段提出本文的主题——蓝光是否对人类的健康有影响。故选A。
33.Which statement is true according to Gottlieb’s paper?
A.People should keep away from digital devices.
B.Mental diseases are possibly caused by LED lights.
C.Blue light has practical applications in medical field.
D.Gottlieb initially realized the harmful effects of blue light.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知,论文作者认为额外的蓝光照射对抑郁症患者非常有帮助,也就是蓝光在医疗领域有实际应用。故选C。
34.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Melatonin is vital to regular sleep.
B.How blue light affects human health.
C.Why smartphones shouldn’t be used before sleep.
D.Sleep disorders are related to digital device usage.
答案:B
解析:段落大意题。根据文章第四段内容可知,第四段主要讲述的是蓝光如何影响人类健康,特别是如何影响褪黑素的分泌,进而干扰睡眠和影响生活质量、身体和心理健康。故选B。
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Is blue light making us ill?
B.Can we get rid of blue light?
C.Why does blue light hurt our health?
D.How do we benefit from LED lights?
答案:A

(2025·湖南省衡阳市高二上期末)
Do you know that you can instantly change your state of mind just by smiling? Science has shown that when we produce a smile,our brain releases feel-good hormones (荷尔蒙) that reduce stress.You’ve already experienced the effects of smiling and laughing with friends and family—it’s an instant,free and joyful action. 36
In a study,scientists Tara Kraft and Sarah Pressman studied 170 participants who were taught to hold chopsticks in their mouths in three different ways,making them smile to various degrees,while performing a stressful task.The experiment revealed that subjects whose facial muscles were forced into the biggest smiles,due to the chopsticks,experienced a substantial reduction in their heart rate along with quicker stress recovery.
Have you ever smiled at someone and not received a smile back? It may have happened a handful of times,but it’s usually the exception,not the rule. 37
If you were waiting in line for a coffee and you could choose between a smiling server and one with a neutral expression on their face,who would you pick to take your order? 38 For me,compared to someone who is displaying a neutral or bad expression,a smiling person is going to seem more trustworthy.
39 My sincere intention is to give you a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection,and access to simple tools to make a positive change in your life.
Whenever you find yourself in a stressful situation,be sure to smile. 40
A.Most of us would feel drawn to the smiling server.
B.However,there is always someone who will break the rule.
C.Most people can’t help smiling back at you,even if it’s just to be polite.
D.The real message of this article is that you have the power to change your state of mind.
E.As Victor Hugo once said,“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.”
F.It won’t instantly change your situation,but it absolutely will change how you feel about it.
G.Once you discover the science of how smiling improves your mood,you’ll be smiling all the time.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了微笑对我们的生理和心理上的积极作用,并通过具体的实验例证来进行佐证。通过阅读我们能够认识到微笑对于缓解压力、改变心态的巨大作用,让我们一起微笑起来吧!

37.答案:C
解析:根据上文“Have you ever smiled at...but it’s usually the exception,not the rule.”可知,此空与上文是顺承关系,关键词为smile back,根据上下文意思可知,对别人的微笑大多数情况下都会得到回应的微笑。故选C。
38.答案:A
解析:根据上文“If you were waiting in line for a coffee...who would you pick to take your order?”以及后文“For me,compared to someone who is displaying a neutral or bad expression,a smiling person is going to seem more trustworthy.” 可知,此空与上文是设问关系,如果你在排队买咖啡,你可以在一个面带微笑的服务员和一个面无表情的服务员之间做出选择,你会选择谁来为你点单?我们大多数人都会被微笑的服务员所吸引。故选A。
39.答案:D
解析:根据后文“My sincere intention is to give you...positive change in your life.”可知,此空与下文是顺承关系。D项中关键词real message和sincere intention形成照应,说明作者的写作意图。故选D。
40.答案:F
解析:根据上文“Whenever you find yourself in a stressful situation,be sure to smile.”可知,此空解释了上文微笑的必要性和意义。微笑它不会立刻改变你的处境,但绝对会改变你对它的感觉。故选F。

I found a wonderful picture of Maolan karst cones online and presented it to the innkeeper.“You can’t go there,” the innkeeper 41 me with a smile.“The viewing platform has been closed due to 42 that too many visitors could cause geological damage.”
Though disappointed,we 43 an alternative:a seven-hour hike through the“funnel forest”.Initially,we were 44 to run the risk.However,I had 45 the tourism motto in the nature reserve:“If you don’t do it now,you won’t do it in your lifetime.” Three of our group 46 decided to venture into the forest.The innkeeper responded with a knowing 47 :“Great.Bear Grylls went there.”
The next morning,we set off with a local 48 .Rain came and went three times,and before I actually 49 to climb over the first mountain,I had already got wet to the skin.I was a walking 50 of mud and water.
Our guide,in his 50s,behaved like a botanist,introducing the locally specific plants to us,but I was hardly in the 51 .Every step sank into the muddy,sucking ground.Every log or rock in front of us was a physical 52 .“One can never reach those places without strong willpower,” I murmured,reciting that millennium-old 53 ,over and over again.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了入选《世界遗产名录》的周口店北京人遗址的发现过程及保护情况。
56.答案:an
解析:考查冠词。根据语境可知,此处表示泛指,且空后unknown的发音是以元音音素开头的,故用不定冠词an。species为单复数同形,此处表示单数意义。
57.答案:existence
解析:考查词性转换。根据冠词the及后面的介词可知这里应该用名词形式。
58.答案:that
解析:考查名词性从句。根据语境可知,空后的句子是名词evidence的具体内容,故空处引导的是同位语从句,且句中不缺少成分,故用that。
59.答案:beasts
解析:考查名词的单复数。根据空前的形容词wild可知,空处应填名词;另外,由于空前没有限定词,且beast是可数名词,所以应用其复数形式。
60.答案:was listed
解析:考查时态、语态和主谓一致。周口店北京人遗址被列为世界遗产保护区,故用被动语态;由In 1987可知,空处应用一般过去时;主语Peking Man Site为单数,谓语动词应用单数形式。
61.答案:endangered
解析:考查词性转换。根据空前的is并结合语境可知,此处应用形容词作表语,故填endangered。
62.答案:to maintain
解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,It是形式主语,后面应用不定式作真正的主语。
63.答案:constantly
解析:考查词性转换。修饰动词应用副词形式。
64.答案:of
解析:考查介词。“of+抽象名词”相当于该名词对应的形容词,为固定用法。
65.答案:(should) get
解析:考查虚拟语气。动词request后面的宾语从句应用虚拟语气,谓语动词用“should+动词原形”,或者直接用动词原形。故此处应填 (should)get。

Dear Jack,
I am happy to have heard from you again.Today I would like to share some interesting information about Shenyang Strange Slope with you.
In April,1990,the discovery of the Strange Slope in Shenyang,Liaoning Province drew attention worldwide.It is 80 meters long and 15 meters wide.If a car stops at the foot of the slope,it will run to the top of the slope without any difficulty.The contrary occurs when cars attempt to drift downwards.Experts and scholars have attempted to solve the mystery of it.Commonly scholars believe this phenomenon results from magnetic fields and optical illusions.Due to the lack of evidence for a satisfactory explanation,the Shenyang Strange Slope is still regarded as a mystery.
I hope you can visit Shenyang Strange Slope some day with me.
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
People use the proverb “seeing is believing” to describe situations where it’s hard to believe something is possible if you haven’t seen it happen.I am here today to tell you that the proverb is true and to share with you how a girl and her grandmother made a positive transformation in a community.
It was a year ago when I was studying life cycles in my science class.I wrote a paper about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly (帝王蝶) and received a perfect score.I was so thrilled;I called my grandmother Nana and told her the exciting news.My talk recalled memories from Nana’s childhood.“I remember when I was a girl,” she said,“those orange and black butterflies were a common sight.Come late summer,there would suddenly be hundreds of them,and before long there were so many that it felt like you were standing in an orange cloud.”
“It sounds like you witnessed a migration,but what happened to them?” I asked.“To be honest,I’ve never known,” Nana admitted.“But there do seem to be fewer monarchs around the neighborhood.” Nana and I decided to investigate.
That weekend,we met at the public library.Our research produced plenty of information:some fascinating and some concerning.Apparently,the number of monarchs has been in decline for the last several decades.Housing developments have destroyed much of their habitat.Some information was hopeful,though,like how conservationists are working to save them.
The best was this—it doesn’t take lots of money or equipment to do so.It takes only a little bit of land,some seeds,and dedicated people to create what’s called a Monarch Waystation (驿站).
“What if we set up our own Monarch Waystation?” I suggested.“We’ll need people to help.” Nana responded immediately and didn’t waste time to get started.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The next day,Nana presented the idea to her garden club and I talked to my friends.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

Nana and I created a blog and frequently updated about the community’s efforts.____

[参考范文]
The next day,Nana presented the idea to her garden club and I talked to my friends.Many people started to plant flowers in their gardens.Nana’s garden club convinced the city government to plant a butterfly garden next to the city fountain.My friends and I spread leaflets telling people how to build Monarch Waystations.More and more people took action to make our community monarch-friendly.As spring turned into summer,we found our efforts started to work! A few dozen orange and black butterflies were spotted visiting the waystations.As summer progressed,the monarchs grew more plentiful.
Nana and I created a blog and frequently updated about the community’s efforts.Monarch enthusiasts from across the country contacted us with their own observations,ideas and reflections. Then it happened one day when the sun was shining and the sky was a deep blue,just like Nana remembered a few fluttering (颤动的) orange wings soon became hundreds of soaring butterflies.As monarchs sailed above and around us,Nana cried tears of happiness and gave me an enormous hug.It was truly a spectacular experience.Now I know what it means to stand in an orange cloud of monarchs.I know what people mean when they say,“Seeing is believing.” I learn that if we believe in something strong enough and work to make it happen,we will see our goal become a reality.

On average, you probably have some books on your bedside table just as I do. But how many books do you actually end up finishing over the course of a year? If your answer is not very many, you're not alone. According to pew research center, about twenty five percent of american adults said they hadn't read a book in the last year in any form. Twenty eight percent of adults over fifty said they hadn't read a book in the past year, while only twenty percent of adults under fifty could say the same. But another pew report has some Better news. IT shows that about seventy five percent of americans said they had read a book in the past twelve months. When we add up all the books americans have read over the course of a year, IT comes to an average of twelve books a year per reader. However, this accounts for people who read a little more than Normal. Most americans read about four books a year. So how are these books getting IT read? The study shows americans still prefer printed books over audio or e books, with almost forty percent of adults sticking just to print. That's all. Thank you. Good morning, everyone.
