Here are four key figures from different nations whose discoveries had a lasting impact. Meriwether Lewis Leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition (航行) (1804-1806), this American explorer was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson to map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. His team journeyed from the Mississippi River to the Pacific, documenting new species and establishing relations with Native tribes (部落). This journey opened the American West to settlement, connecting the nation from coast to coast. Ferdinand Magellan Sailing for Spain, this Portuguese explorer organized the first expedition to encircle the globe in 1519. Though he was killed in the Philippines in 1521, one of his ships completed the voyage in 1522. This historic journey proved the world was round, linked the world’s oceans, and revealed the vastness of the Pacific. James Cook This British naval captain led three groundbreaking voyages across the Pacific in the late 18th century. He mapped the eastern coast of Australia, charted New Zealand’s coastline, and explored numerous Pacific islands. Cook’s accurate mappings and scientific observations greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region and established new connections between Europe and the South Pacific. Marco Polo This Venetian trader traveled the Silk Road to China in the 13th century, spending 17 years in Asia. His detailed accounts of Asian cultures, technologies, and wealth introduced Europeans to a previously unknown world. His book, The Travels of Marco Polo, inspired generations of future explorers and helped bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West. 21. What did Lewis’ team document? A. The geography of the Silk Road. B. New species along their journey. C. Cultural customs in ancient China. D. Asian technologies in the 13th century. 22. Which explorer mapped the eastern coast of Australia? A. James Cook. B. Marco Polo. C. Meriwether Lewis D. Ferdinand Magellan. 23. What do the four explorers have in common according to the text? A. They sailed across the Pacific Ocean. B. They completed their planned expeditions. C. Their journeys promoted global connections. D. Their achievements focused on new land mapping. B Walt Disney’s vision of creating “The Happiest Place on Earth” for families revolutionized the amusement park industry and his company now has six resorts (度假区) with a dozen theme parks worldwide. Disneyland in Anaheim, California is the first resort in the world. According to the Themed Entertainment Association, Disneyland now ranks as the world’s second-most visited theme park, closely behind Disney World in Florida, which opened in 1971. In 2023, it drew more than 17 million visitors. The park was built on what was once an orange forest in Anaheim, just outside Los Angeles. It opened on July 17, 1955. Although Walt Disney was known for his attention to detail, the opening day was famously a disaster. The park opened just a year after its groundbreaking and the shoes of the guests sank into the muddy land. There weren’t enough restrooms in the park. Food and drinks were in short supply, too. Among the original rides still around today are the Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan’s Flight and the Jungle Cruise. The cost to get in that first year was $1 for adults and 50 cents for children, although tickets for most rides were an additional 10 to 50 cents. Today, a one-day ticket starts at more than $100 and on some days can double that. Over the years, the park has hosted US presidents, kings and queens, and countless celebrities. A few even got their start at Disneyland. Actor Kevin Costner was a skipper on the Jungle Cruise and comedian Steve Martin worked at a magic shop where he learned about being a performer. While Disneyland still features many of the touches Walt Disney oversaw himself, the original park is ever-evolving. Some of the moves have been made to keep up with a changing society, while others have been made to introduce more thrilling attractions with the latest technology to keep up with competitors. The resort in Anaheim now includes Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney, a shopping and entertainment district. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Florida. B. Disneyland. C. Disney World. D. California. 25. Which of the following best describes Disneyland’s opening? A. Ill-prepared. B. Unsuccessful. C. Well-scheduled. D. Ordinary. 26. What can be inferred about Peter Pan’s Flight? A. It costs 10 to 50 cents for each ride. B. It has helped countless famous people. C. It is the most advanced ride in the park. D. It is one of the oldest rides at Disneyland. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Disneyland? A. Its popularity. B. Its history. C. Its growth. D. Its benefits. C In Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady River, there is a group of Irrawaddy dolphins that are best-known for giving a special signal — a wave of their tail — right before the fishers should cast nets. They even passed this skill on to their babies. “This is a pretty rare phenomenon in terms of human and wildlife cooperation. So, we’re not only conserving on a species level, but also on a cultural level,” says Brian Smith, a river dolphin expert. “It’s a lesson to humanity about our relationship with wildlife.” The Irrawaddy dolphins have another less-known trick: They spit water. It’s not just for fun, though. They use it to drive fish into tight groups so they’re easier to catch. Some scientists even think they might do it to impress a potential mate. The Irrawaddy dolphins are one of the only six species that can live in freshwater. But they can also inhabit coastal waters — a quality shared by even fewer species. Their range includes parts of coastal waters of South and Southeast Asia, as well as three specific rivers: the Mekong in Cambodia, the Mahakam in Indonesia, and the Ayeyarwady in Myanmar. While the species as a whole is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the populations in these three rivers are considered critically endangered, with fewer than 100 individuals estimated in each. These rivers and coastal areas are often close to intense human activity, so they face serious threats from pollution, habitat loss, coal-carrying ships, and illegal electro-fishing — a practice in which fishers send electric currents through the water to kill fish. Electro-fishing not only dramatically reduces the fish populations that dolphins rely on, but it can also injure or kill the dolphins. “Without urgent action, these cooperative, curious creatures could disappear forever, much like the Yangtze dolphins, which disappeared from China’s waters in 2006, despite conservation efforts, as well as Mexico’s Vaquita dolphins, down to around 10 individuals,” warns Smith. 28. Why do the Irrawaddy dolphins wave their tail? A. To drive away the fishers. B. To ask the fishers to work together. C. To have fun with the fishers. D. To remind the fishers of their presence. 29. What can be learned about the Irrawaddy dolphins from paragraph 4? A. Fewer than 300 of them still exist. B. Their habitat is limited to three rivers. C. They know how to drive fish together. D. They can also survive in coastal waters. 30. What does the author intend to do by mentioning the electro-fishing? A. To call on the government to take action. B. To introduce the latest fishing method. C. To show the threats faced by the dolphins. D. To explain its effects on fish populations. 31. Which is the most critically endangered species? A. The Vaquita dolphins. B. The Yangtze dolphins. C. The Mekong dolphins. D. The Mahakam dolphins. D Kids who are stars seldom grow up to be top achievers, a new study reported in a paper published Thursday in the journal Science. The researchers examined data from nearly 35,000 adults in two dozens of previously published studies and found there was just a 10% overlap (重叠) between child prodigies and high-performing adults, such as Olympic champions, renowned composers, and Nobel prize winners. “There are those young top performers who later become world-class performers at peak performance age,” said Arne Güllich, co - author of the paper. “But these are the exception, not the rule.” The researchers defined peak years as being between ages 20 and 30 for sports and chess, and between ages 40 and 50 for science and music. The findings were consistent across various fields. The new analysis also challenged ideas that excellence comes from hours of specialized early training, or the “10,000-hour rule” popularized by Malcolm Gladwell. The rule suggests that a person needs about 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery. “Many people make decisions for themselves or their children based on these ideas, such as starting their child early in a sport or a musical instrument with the goal of producing the next Tiger Woods or Yo-Yo Ma,” said Arne Güllich. “However, our study indicates that adult world-class performers do a range of activities when they were young — with fewer practice hours in their specific discipline but more time in other activities.” Fred Oswald, a psychologist at Rice University who wasn’t involved in the work, said the findings were informative, but the implications for advising individuals are unclear. “However, there’s a key takeaway: Encourage kids to pursue a variety of interests rather than specializing early,” he said. “Evidence suggests that engaging in two additional areas to the main discipline is the sweet spot. So it’s unwise to try as many as possible, like sampling all the instruments in music.” 32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prodigies” in paragraph 2? A. Geniuses. B. Caregivers. C. Musicians. D. Trainees. 33. According to Malcolm Gladwell, what is the key to mastering a skill? A. Talent. B. Curiosity. C. Age. D. Exercise. 34. What is a feature of the top-performing adults according to the new study? A. They usually stand out in childhood. B. They often have a variety of interests. C. They enjoy early specialized training. D. They set ambitious goals at an early age. 35. What might Fred Oswald suggest parents do? A. Allow their kids to start specialized training early. B. Put top priority on a couple of music instruments. C. Encourage their kids to select a couple of interests. D. Sign up their kids for as many activities as possible. 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。 Older people who are particularly at risk of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease could slow their cognitive (认知) decline by taking just 3,000 steps a day. ___36___ However, it could be linked to the impact of regular exercise on inflammation (炎症) or blood flow to the brain. Previous studies that link regular exercise to reduced cognitive decline have mostly relied on people recalling their activity levels but have rarely explored why staying active may have this effect. To address such limitations, Wai-Ying Wendy Yau at Harvard University and her co-workers analysed the physical activity of 296 cognitively healthy people, who wore step-tracking devices for one week to objectively measure their activity levels. ___37___ Most of the participants had their brain imaged to reveal their baseline levels of misfolded proteins called tau (tau蛋白) and beta-amyloid, gathering of which is thought to cause Alzheimer’s. The participants also completed annual cognitive tests that assessed things like their memory and how quickly they processed information. ___38___ They found that, among the participants with above-average levels of misfolded beta-amyloid in their brain at the start, taking between 3,000 and 5,000 steps per day seemed to greatly slow the build-up of misfolded tau, but not beta-amyloid. “ ___39___ This activity level showed 54% slower cognitive decline than inactivity,” says Yau. The researchers didn’t explore exactly how regular exercise may have these effects, but it could be due to physical activity reducing inflammation. ___40___ A. What was the result? B. A simple walk can fight diseases. C. The tests were not easy to complete. D. These people were aged between 50 and 90. E. Exercise may also boost blood flow to the brain. F. Why this step count might have this effect is unclear. G. Walking 5,000 to 7,500 steps daily further reduces tau build-up. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 What started as a peaceful day off for Sarasota County lifeguard Landon Lacy turned into a dramatic life-saving mission.

The rich smell of freshly made coffee filled the air, but I paid no attention my eyes were fixed on the shelf where the limited edition bear cups should have been. But it was empty! My heart sank, but I walked straight to the register. “Do you have any more of those bear cups in the warehouse?” I asked, leaning forward. That cup was for my sick niece, who’d been begging for it for weeks. The server, a young woman with a name tag reading “Lila”, gave a polite but apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. They’re selling very fast — we sell out within hours of getting a new shipment. We’ll have a new delivery on Friday, though. I can put your name and number down to set one aside for you.” My patience broke. I hit my hand on the counter and said, “No! That’s impossible!” My voice was loud, drawing looks from every corner of the store. “From downtown to the suburbs, this is the ninth Starbucks I’ve been to today! Nine. And everyone says ‘sold out’! But I see them online for hundreds of dollars! You’re holding them back to resell, aren’t you?!” Lila’s smile faded, but her voice stayed steady. “Ma’am, I work fifty hours a week here. The last thing I want is to bring a Starbucks cup home. We don’t keep any back — first-come, first-served. Even regular customers struggle to get one. Can I get you a drink or something to eat? Our lemon loaf just came out warm.” Anger made my cheeks burn. “Forget it!” I hit both hands on the counter harder, then turned around and rushed out. The doorbell rang sharply behind me. As I walked away, guilt washed over me — I’d totally overreacted, but I was so desperate to see my niece smile. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, my phone rang. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 靖边中学2024级2025～2026学年度第二学期收心考试试卷 高二英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：至人教版选择性必修第二册Unit 4。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman finally decide to do with the kitchen window?

Here are four key figures from different nations whose discoveries had a lasting impact. Meriwether Lewis Leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition (航行) (1804-1806), this American explorer was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson to map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. His team journeyed from the Mississippi River to the Pacific, documenting new species and establishing relations with Native tribes (部落). This journey opened the American West to settlement, connecting the nation from coast to coast. Ferdinand Magellan Sailing for Spain, this Portuguese explorer organized the first expedition to encircle the globe in 1519. Though he was killed in the Philippines in 1521, one of his ships completed the voyage in 1522. This historic journey proved the world was round, linked the world’s oceans, and revealed the vastness of the Pacific. James Cook This British naval captain led three groundbreaking voyages across the Pacific in the late 18th century. He mapped the eastern coast of Australia, charted New Zealand’s coastline, and explored numerous Pacific islands. Cook’s accurate mappings and scientific observations greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region and established new connections between Europe and the South Pacific. Marco Polo This Venetian trader traveled the Silk Road to China in the 13th century, spending 17 years in Asia. His detailed accounts of Asian cultures, technologies, and wealth introduced Europeans to a previously unknown world. His book, The Travels of Marco Polo, inspired generations of future explorers and helped bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West. 21. What did Lewis’ team document? A. The geography of the Silk Road. B. New species along their journey. C. Cultural customs in ancient China. D. Asian technologies in the 13th century. 22. Which explorer mapped the eastern coast of Australia? A. James Cook. B. Marco Polo. C. Meriwether Lewis D. Ferdinand Magellan. 23. What do the four explorers have in common according to the text? A. They sailed across the Pacific Ocean. B. They completed their planned expeditions. C. Their journeys promoted global connections. D. Their achievements focused on new land mapping. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍大航海时代四位探险家的探险事迹及对人类地理认知的深远影响。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His team journeyed from the Mississippi River to the Pacific, documenting new species and establishing relations with Native tribes.(他的团队从密西西比河航行至太平洋，记录新物种并与原住民部落建立联系。)”可知，刘易斯的团队记录了沿途的新物种。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He mapped the eastern coast of Australia, charted New Zealand’s coastline, and explored numerous Pacific islands.(他绘制了澳大利亚东海岸地图，标注了新西兰海岸线，并探索了众多太平洋岛屿。)”可知，绘制澳大利亚东海岸地图的探险家是詹姆斯·库克。故选A项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This journey opened the American West to settlement, connecting the nation from coast to coast.(这次旅程开拓了美国西部的定居点，将这个国家从东海岸到西海岸连接起来)”、第三段“This historic journey proved the world was round, linked the world’s oceans(这次历史性的旅程证明了地球是圆的，连接了世界各大洋)”、第四段“Cook’s accurate mappings and scientific observations greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region and established new connections between Europe and the South Pacific.(库克精确的地图绘制和科学观察极大地拓展了欧洲人对太平洋地区的认知，并在欧洲与南太平洋之间建立了新的联系)”和第五段“His book, The Travels of Marco Polo, inspired generations of future explorers and helped bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West.(他的著作《马可·波罗游记》激励了一代又一代未来的探险家，并有助于弥合东西方之间的文化鸿沟)”可知，四位探险家的共同之处是他们的旅程都促进了全球范围内的联系。故选C项。 B Walt Disney’s vision of creating “The Happiest Place on Earth” for families revolutionized the amusement park industry and his company now has six resorts (度假区) with a dozen theme parks worldwide. Disneyland in Anaheim, California is the first resort in the world. According to the Themed Entertainment Association, Disneyland now ranks as the world’s second-most visited theme park, closely behind Disney World in Florida, which opened in 1971. In 2023, it drew more than 17 million visitors. The park was built on what was once an orange forest in Anaheim, just outside Los Angeles. It opened on July 17, 1955. Although Walt Disney was known for his attention to detail, the opening day was famously a disaster. The park opened just a year after its groundbreaking and the shoes of the guests sank into the muddy land. There weren’t enough restrooms in the park. Food and drinks were in short supply, too. Among the original rides still around today are the Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan’s Flight and the Jungle Cruise. The cost to get in that first year was $1 for adults and 50 cents for children, although tickets for most rides were an additional 10 to 50 cents. Today, a one-day ticket starts at more than $100 and on some days can double that. Over the years, the park has hosted US presidents, kings and queens, and countless celebrities. A few even got their start at Disneyland. Actor Kevin Costner was a skipper on the Jungle Cruise and comedian Steve Martin worked at a magic shop where he learned about being a performer. While Disneyland still features many of the touches Walt Disney oversaw himself, the original park is ever-evolving. Some of the moves have been made to keep up with a changing society, while others have been made to introduce more thrilling attractions with the latest technology to keep up with competitors. The resort in Anaheim now includes Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney, a shopping and entertainment district. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Florida. B. Disneyland. C. Disney World. D. California. 25. Which of the following best describes Disneyland’s opening? A. Ill-prepared. B. Unsuccessful. C. Well-scheduled. D. Ordinary. 26. What can be inferred about Peter Pan’s Flight? A. It costs 10 to 50 cents for each ride. B. It has helped countless famous people. C. It is the most advanced ride in the park. D. It is one of the oldest rides at Disneyland. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Disneyland? A. Its popularity. B. Its history. C. Its growth. D. Its benefits. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍加州迪士尼乐园：世界首座迪士尼度假区，开业当天状况糟糕，保留经典项目，票价大幅上涨，名人曾在此工作，乐园持续发展更新。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Disneyland in Anaheim, California is the first resort in the world. According to the Themed Entertainment Association, Disneyland now ranks as the world’s second — most visited theme park, closely behind Disney World in Florida, which opened in 1971.(位于加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆市的迪士尼乐园是全球首家主题度假区。据主题娱乐协会的数据，如今迪士尼乐园已位列全球第二——是游客数量第二多的主题公园，仅次于1971年开业的佛罗里达州的迪士尼世界)”可知，迪士尼乐园在2023年游客数量超过了 1700万人次。故划线词指的是“迪士尼乐园”。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It opened on July 17, 1955. Although Walt Disney was known for his attention to detail, the opening day was famously a disaster. The park opened just a year after its groundbreaking and the shoes of the guests sank into the muddy land. There weren’t enough restrooms in the park. Food and drinks were in short supply, too.(它于1955年7月17日开业。尽管沃尔特·迪士尼以注重细节而闻名，但开业当天却遭遇了严重的灾难。该公园在破土动工一年后才正式开放，游客的鞋子陷进了泥泞的土地里。公园里没有足够的洗手间。食物和饮料也供应不足)”可知，迪士尼乐园的开业情况准备不足。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Among the original rides still around today are the Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan’s Flight and the Jungle Cruise.(如今仍保留下来的原始游乐项目有“疯狂茶会”、“彼得·潘的飞行之旅”以及“丛林探险”等)”可知，《彼得·潘的飞行》这一游乐项目是迪士尼乐园中历史最悠久的游乐项目之一。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While Disneyland still features many of the touches Walt Disney oversaw himself, the original park is ever-evolving. Some of the moves have been made to keep up with a changing society, while others have been made to introduce more thrilling attractions with the latest technology to keep up with competitors. The resort in Anaheim now includes Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney, a shopping and entertainment district.(尽管迪士尼乐园仍保留着许多由沃尔特·迪士尼亲自设计的元素，但最初的乐园也在不断演变。其中一些改变是为了适应不断变化的社会，而另一些则是为了引入更多运用最新技术的刺激游乐项目，以跟上竞争对手的步伐。如今，位于阿纳海姆的迪士尼度假区还新增了迪士尼加州冒险乐园和迪士尼市中心区，后者是一个集购物和娱乐于一体的区域)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是迪士尼乐园的发展情况。故选C。 C In Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady River, there is a group of Irrawaddy dolphins that are best-known for giving a special signal — a wave of their tail — right before the fishers should cast nets. They even passed this skill on to their babies. “This is a pretty rare phenomenon in terms of human and wildlife cooperation. So, we’re not only conserving on a species level, but also on a cultural level,” says Brian Smith, a river dolphin expert. “It’s a lesson to humanity about our relationship with wildlife.” The Irrawaddy dolphins have another less-known trick: They spit water. It’s not just for fun, though. They use it to drive fish into tight groups so they’re easier to catch. Some scientists even think they might do it to impress a potential mate. The Irrawaddy dolphins are one of the only six species that can live in freshwater. But they can also inhabit coastal waters — a quality shared by even fewer species. Their range includes parts of coastal waters of South and Southeast Asia, as well as three specific rivers: the Mekong in Cambodia, the Mahakam in Indonesia, and the Ayeyarwady in Myanmar. While the species as a whole is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the populations in these three rivers are considered critically endangered, with fewer than 100 individuals estimated in each. These rivers and coastal areas are often close to intense human activity, so they face serious threats from pollution, habitat loss, coal-carrying ships, and illegal electro-fishing — a practice in which fishers send electric currents through the water to kill fish. Electro-fishing not only dramatically reduces the fish populations that dolphins rely on, but it can also injure or kill the dolphins. “Without urgent action, these cooperative, curious creatures could disappear forever, much like the Yangtze dolphins, which disappeared from China’s waters in 2006, despite conservation efforts, as well as Mexico’s Vaquita dolphins, down to around 10 individuals,” warns Smith. 28. Why do the Irrawaddy dolphins wave their tail? A. To drive away the fishers. B. To ask the fishers to work together. C. To have fun with the fishers. D. To remind the fishers of their presence. 29. What can be learned about the Irrawaddy dolphins from paragraph 4? A. Fewer than 300 of them still exist. B. Their habitat is limited to three rivers. C. They know how to drive fish together. D. They can also survive in coastal waters. 30. What does the author intend to do by mentioning the electro-fishing? A. To call on the government to take action. B. To introduce the latest fishing method. C. To show the threats faced by the dolphins. D. To explain its effects on fish populations. 31. Which is the most critically endangered species? A. The Vaquita dolphins. B. The Yangtze dolphins. C. The Mekong dolphins. D. The Mahakam dolphins. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍伊洛瓦底江海豚的独特习性、栖息地范围，以及它们面临的生存威胁和濒危现状。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady River, there is a group of Irrawaddy dolphins that are best-known for giving a special signal — a wave of their tail — right before the fishers should cast nets.(在缅甸的伊洛瓦底江，有一群伊洛瓦底江海豚，它们最出名的是在渔民应该撒网之前发出一个特殊的信号 —— 摇尾巴)”可知，伊洛瓦底江海豚摇尾巴是为了提醒渔民可以撒网，也就是示意渔民开始工作、配合渔民捕鱼。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The Irrawaddy dolphins are one of the only six species that can live in freshwater. But they can also inhabit coastal waters — a quality shared by even fewer species.(伊洛瓦底江海豚是仅有的六种能在淡水中生活的物种之一。但它们也能栖息在沿海水域 —— 这是更少物种拥有的特性)”可知，伊洛瓦底江海豚也能在沿海水域生存。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“These rivers and coastal areas are often close to intense human activity, so they face serious threats from pollution, habitat loss, coal-carrying ships, and illegal electro-fishing(这些河流和沿海地区通常靠近密集的人类活动，因此它们面临着来自污染、栖息地丧失、运煤船和非法电鱼的严重威胁)”可知，作者提到非法电鱼，是为了说明伊洛瓦底江海豚面临的生存威胁。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Without urgent action, these cooperative, curious creatures could disappear forever, much like the Yangtze dolphins, which disappeared from China’s waters in 2006, despite conservation efforts, as well as Mexico’s Vaquita dolphins, down to around 10 individuals,” warns Smith.(史密斯警告说：“如果不采取紧急行动，这些懂得合作、充满好奇心的生物可能会永远消失。就像白鱀豚，尽管人们努力保护，却还是在2006年从中国水域消失；墨西哥的小头鼠海豚如今也仅存约10只。”)”以及第四段中的“the populations in these three rivers are considered critically endangered, with fewer than 100 individuals estimated in each(这三条河流中的种群被认为是极度濒危的，每条河估计不足100只)”可推断，小头鼠海豚（Vaquita dolphins）数量最少，是最濒危的物种。故选A项。 D Kids who are stars seldom grow up to be top achievers, a new study reported in a paper published Thursday in the journal Science. The researchers examined data from nearly 35,000 adults in two dozens of previously published studies and found there was just a 10% overlap (重叠) between child prodigies and high-performing adults, such as Olympic champions, renowned composers, and Nobel prize winners. “There are those young top performers who later become world-class performers at peak performance age,” said Arne Güllich, co - author of the paper. “But these are the exception, not the rule.” The researchers defined peak years as being between ages 20 and 30 for sports and chess, and between ages 40 and 50 for science and music. The findings were consistent across various fields. The new analysis also challenged ideas that excellence comes from hours of specialized early training, or the “10,000-hour rule” popularized by Malcolm Gladwell. The rule suggests that a person needs about 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery. “Many people make decisions for themselves or their children based on these ideas, such as starting their child early in a sport or a musical instrument with the goal of producing the next Tiger Woods or Yo-Yo Ma,” said Arne Güllich. “However, our study indicates that adult world-class performers do a range of activities when they were young — with fewer practice hours in their specific discipline but more time in other activities.” Fred Oswald, a psychologist at Rice University who wasn’t involved in the work, said the findings were informative, but the implications for advising individuals are unclear. “However, there’s a key takeaway: Encourage kids to pursue a variety of interests rather than specializing early,” he said. “Evidence suggests that engaging in two additional areas to the main discipline is the sweet spot. So it’s unwise to try as many as possible, like sampling all the instruments in music.” 32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prodigies” in paragraph 2? A. Geniuses. B. Caregivers. C. Musicians. D. Trainees. 33. According to Malcolm Gladwell, what is the key to mastering a skill? A. Talent. B. Curiosity. C. Age. D. Exercise. 34. What is a feature of the top-performing adults according to the new study? A. They usually stand out in childhood. B. They often have a variety of interests. C. They enjoy early specialized training. D. They set ambitious goals at an early age. 35. What might Fred Oswald suggest parents do? A. Allow their kids to start specialized training early. B. Put top priority on a couple of music instruments. C. Encourage their kids to select a couple of interests. D. Sign up their kids for as many activities as possible. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究称，年少成名的孩子长大后很少能成为顶尖成就者，新研究还对“一万小时定律”提出质疑，并给出相关建议。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The researchers examined data from nearly 35,000 adults in two dozens of previously published studies and found there was just a 10% overlap (重叠) between child prodigies and high-performing adults, such as Olympic champions, renowned composers, and Nobel prize winners.(研究人员检查了此前发表的几十项研究中近3.5万名成年人的数据，发现儿童prodigies与奥运冠军、著名作曲家和诺贝尔奖获得者等高成就成年人之间的重叠率仅为10%)”可知，“prodigies”指的是年少有为、天赋异禀的孩子，与“geniuses(天才)”意思相近。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The new analysis also challenged ideas that excellence comes from hours of specialized early training, or the “10,000-hour rule” popularized by Malcolm Gladwell. The rule suggests that a person needs about 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery.(这项新分析还对优秀源于长时间的专业早期训练，或马尔科姆·格拉德威尔所推广的“一万小时定律”提出了质疑。该定律认为，一个人需要大约1万小时的练习才能达到精通)”可知，马尔科姆·格拉德威尔认为掌握技能的关键是练习。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“However, our study indicates that adult world-class performers do a range of activities when they were young — with fewer practice hours in their specific discipline but more time in other activities.(然而，我们的研究表明，成年世界级表演者年轻时会做各种活动——在特定学科上的练习时间较少，但在其他活动上的时间较多)”可知，根据这项新研究，高成就成年人的一个特点是他们通常兴趣广泛。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““However, there’s a key takeaway: Encourage kids to pursue a variety of interests rather than specializing early,” he said. “Evidence suggests that engaging in two additional areas to the main discipline is the sweet spot. So it’s unwise to try as many as possible, like sampling all the instruments in music.”(“不过，有一点至关重要：要鼓励孩子们广泛发展各种兴趣，而非过早地专注于某一项，”他说道。“有证据表明，在主修学科的基础上再涉足另外两个领域才是最佳选择。所以，盲目地尝试尽可能多的领域是不明智的，就像尝试学习所有音乐乐器那样。”)”可推知，弗雷德·奥斯瓦尔德可能会建议父母鼓励孩子选择一些兴趣。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Older people who are particularly at risk of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease could slow their cognitive (认知) decline by taking just 3,000 steps a day. ___36___ However, it could be linked to the impact of regular exercise on inflammation (炎症) or blood flow to the brain. Previous studies that link regular exercise to reduced cognitive decline have mostly relied on people recalling their activity levels but have rarely explored why staying active may have this effect. To address such limitations, Wai-Ying Wendy Yau at Harvard University and her co-workers analysed the physical activity of 296 cognitively healthy people, who wore step-tracking devices for one week to objectively measure their activity levels. ___37___ Most of the participants had their brain imaged to reveal their baseline levels of misfolded proteins called tau (tau蛋白) and beta-amyloid, gathering of which is thought to cause Alzheimer’s. The participants also completed annual cognitive tests that assessed things like their memory and how quickly they processed information. ___38___ They found that, among the participants with above-average levels of misfolded beta-amyloid in their brain at the start, taking between 3,000 and 5,000 steps per day seemed to greatly slow the build-up of misfolded tau, but not beta-amyloid. “ ___39___ This activity level showed 54% slower cognitive decline than inactivity,” says Yau. The researchers didn’t explore exactly how regular exercise may have these effects, but it could be due to physical activity reducing inflammation. ___40___ A. What was the result? B. A simple walk can fight diseases. C. The tests were not easy to complete. D. These people were aged between 50 and 90. E. Exercise may also boost blood flow to the brain. F. Why this step count might have this effect is unclear. G. Walking 5,000 to 7,500 steps daily further reduces tau build-up. 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. A 39. G 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现每日走3000步可减缓阿尔茨海默病高风险人群的认知衰退，同时介绍了相关研究过程与可能的作用机制。 【36题详解】 由上文“Older people who are particularly at risk of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease could slow their cognitive (认知) decline by taking just 3,000 steps a day.(阿尔茨海默病高风险的老年人每天只需走3000步，就能减缓他们的认知衰退)”和后文“However, it could be linked to the impact of regular exercise on inflammation (炎症) or blood flow to the brain.(不过，这可能与规律运动对炎症或脑部血液流动的影响有关)”可知，本空需要承接前文提出 “步数产生该效果的原因尚不明确” 的内容，F选项“Why this step count might have this effect is unclear.(为何这个步数会产生这样的效果目前还不清楚)”既呼应了前文的“3000步减缓认知衰退”，又引出了后文对原因的推测，能承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【37题详解】 由上文“To address such limitations, Wai-Ying Wendy Yau at Harvard University and her co-workers analysed the physical activity of 296 cognitively healthy people, who wore step-tracking devices for one week to objectively measure their activity levels.(为了解决这些局限性，哈佛大学的Wai-Ying Wendy Yau和她的同事们分析了296名认知健康者的身体活动情况，这些人佩戴计步设备一周，以客观测量他们的活动量)”可知，本空需要补充这296名研究对象的信息，D选项“These people were aged between 50 and 90.(这些人的年龄在50到90岁之间)”中的“These people”对应前文的“296 cognitively healthy people”，完善了研究对象的背景信息，符合语境。故选D。 【38题详解】 由后文“They found that, among the participants with above-average levels of misfolded beta-amyloid in their brain at the start, taking between 3, 000 and 5, 000 steps per day seemed to greatly slow the build-up of misfolded tau, but not beta-amyloid.(他们发现，在初始阶段脑内错误折叠 β- 淀粉样蛋白水平高于平均值的参与者中，每天走3000到5000步似乎能大幅减缓错误折叠tau蛋白的积累，但对β-淀粉样蛋白没有影响)”可知，本空需要引出研究的结果，A选项“What was the result?(结果是什么？)”直接提出疑问，自然衔接后文的研究发现，符合语境。故选A。 【39题详解】 由后文“This activity level showed 54% slower cognitive decline than inactivity,” says Yau.(“这个活动量对应的认知衰退速度比不活动的情况慢54%，”Yau说)”可知，本空需要明确“这个活动量”对应的具体步数，G选项“Walking 5,000 to 7,500 steps daily further reduces tau build-up.(每天走5000到7500步能进一步减少tau蛋白的积累)”中的“5000到7500步”对应后文的“This activity level”，清晰衔接了后文的结论，符合语境。故选G。 【40题详解】 由上文“The researchers didn’t explore exactly how regular exercise may have these effects, but it could be due to physical activity reducing inflammation.(研究人员没有确切探究规律运动为何会产生这些效果，但这可能是因为身体活动能减轻炎症)”可知，本空需要补充运动产生该效果的另一个可能原因，E选项“Exercise may also boost blood flow to the brain.(运动也可能促进脑部的血液流动)”中的“also”承接前文的“due to physical activity reducing inflammation”，补充了运动的另一潜在作用，符合语境。故选E。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 What started as a peaceful day off for Sarasota County lifeguard Landon Lacy turned into a dramatic life-saving mission.

It not only helps express our feelings and attitudes but also makes what we say more vivid and convincing. For example, a warm smile conveys friendliness, and steady eye contact builds trust. However, body language varies across cultures. In some countries, a thumbs-up indicates approval, but in others, it may be offensive. Similarly, nodding usually means “yes” in many cultures, yet in parts of Greece and Bulgaria, it can mean “no”. Therefore, understanding these differences is key to effective cross-cultural communication. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生向校英文报“肢体语言的力量”主题征文投稿，阐述肢体语言在交流中的重要作用，并举例说明不同文化中肢体语言的差异。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 至关重要的：vital → crucial 传达：convey → express 信任：trust → faith 不同：vary → differ 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：It not only helps express our feelings and attitudes but also makes what we say more vivid and convincing. 拓展句：Not only does it help express our feelings and attitudes but also it makes what we say more vivid and convincing. 【点睛】【高分句型1】It not only helps express our feelings and attitudes but also makes what we say more vivid and convincing.（运用了“not only...but also...”并列结构以及what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Therefore, understanding these differences is key to effective cross-cultural communication.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第二节(满分25分) 67. 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。 I held my purse tightly as I rushed into my neighborhood Starbucks. The rich smell of freshly made coffee filled the air, but I paid no attention my eyes were fixed on the shelf where the limited edition bear cups should have been. But it was empty! My heart sank, but I walked straight to the register. “Do you have any more of those bear cups in the warehouse?” I asked, leaning forward. That cup was for my sick niece, who’d been begging for it for weeks. The server, a young woman with a name tag reading “Lila”, gave a polite but apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. They’re selling very fast — we sell out within hours of getting a new shipment. We’ll have a new delivery on Friday, though. I can put your name and number down to set one aside for you.” My patience broke. I hit my hand on the counter and said, “No! That’s impossible!” My voice was loud, drawing looks from every corner of the store. “From downtown to the suburbs, this is the ninth Starbucks I’ve been to today! Nine. And everyone says ‘sold out’! But I see them online for hundreds of dollars! You’re holding them back to resell, aren’t you?!” Lila’s smile faded, but her voice stayed steady. “Ma’am, I work fifty hours a week here. The last thing I want is to bring a Starbucks cup home. We don’t keep any back — first-come, first-served. Even regular customers struggle to get one. Can I get you a drink or something to eat? Our lemon loaf just came out warm.” Anger made my cheeks burn. “Forget it!” I hit both hands on the counter harder, then turned around and rushed out. The doorbell rang sharply behind me. As I walked away, guilt washed over me — I’d totally overreacted, but I was so desperate to see my niece smile. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, my phone rang. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. Lila was taking an order when she saw me; she nodded gently, indicating she’d be with me soon. When she came over, I lowered my head slightly and said, “Lila, I’m truly sorry for yelling at you yesterday. I was really overwhelmed — my niece is sick, and I just wanted to make her happy.” She smiled, “I understand. Family matters most. I’ll keep one for you. Could you leave your phone number so I can call you when it comes in?”I quickly wrote it down, thanking her repeatedly. Three days later, my phone rang. It was Lila, her warm voice coming through: “Hi, this is Lila from Starbucks. The bear cup you wanted has arrived.” A surge of joy filled me, and I thanked her again. I rushed to the store right away, and when I saw the neatly placed bear cup on the counter, I knew my niece’s wish would come true. Taking the cup gently in my hands, I was already looking forward to seeing my niece’s bright smile. It was Lila’s kindness that had turned my anxiety into relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为生病的侄女寻找限量版熊杯，跑了九家星巴克都被告知售罄，情急之下对店员莱拉大发雷霆，事后心生愧疚，决定第二天回去道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我鼓起勇气回去，决心道歉。”可知，第一段可描写作者找到莱拉并真诚道歉，说明自己发火的原因，莱拉表示理解并答应为她预留熊杯，作者留下电话号码并再三感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“三天后，我的电话响了。”可知，第二段可描写电话是莱拉打来的，告知熊杯已到，作者十分开心，立刻赶往店里拿到杯子，满心期待侄女的笑容，也感激莱拉的善意。 2. 续写线索：回去道歉——说明缘由——莱拉理解并答应预留——留下电话——莱拉来电告知杯子到货——赶往店里拿杯子——感激善意、期待侄女笑容 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/say sorry ②预留：keep/set aside ③赶往：rush/hurry 情绪类 ①开心：joy/happiness ②宽慰：relief/comfort/reassurance 【点睛】[高分句型1] When she came over, I lowered my head slightly and said, “Lila, I’m truly sorry for yelling at you yesterday.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] It was Lila’s kindness that had turned my anxiety into relief.（运用了强调句型“It’s...that...”强调主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
