Any parking permit issued by Yale University must be displayed. If you drive another vehicle without a permit, it is your duty to inform the Parking Department. All cars parked on University property must be registered, insured, and operable. Members of the Yale community who drive to work and do not participate in the Yale parking program are strongly discouraged from parking on residential streets in neighborhoods around Yale’s campus. Yale supports New Haven’s residential parking zones which help ensure adequate parking for New Haven residents. Official punishments such as tickets, towing, and booting (锁车轮) of vehicles may result from breaking the parking rules. Please contact the Yale Parking Office for assistance with your parking needs. Alternatives to Parking on Campus Call or email CTrides to determine if there’s a more cost-effective and sustainable way for you to get to campus. If you decide not to park on campus, or want to stop using your parking permit to use public transportation instead, you’ll receive:  * Savings on the cost of your monthly bus pass through pre-tax payroll deduction (减免).  * A Guaranteed Ride Home for carpoolers (搭车人) in case of emergencies.  * Three free parking stays per month.  * Six months to get back your current parking space if you don’t wish to use public transportation. As always, you can count on the free Yale campus bus to get around during the day, and use a car anytime if you become a Zipcar Member. 1. What is a must when you park your car on the Yale campus? A. A privately-owned parking space. B. Yale staff sitting beside the driver. C. A Yale issued special driving license. D. Registration and insurance for the car. 2. What happens if you break the parking rules at Yale? A. You lose your job at Yale. B. You get a friendly reminder. C. Your car might get a ticket or be towed. D. You have to talk to the Parking Department. 3. What is one benefit of taking the bus instead of parking at Yale? A. Free gas for your car once a month. B. A brand-new bicycle for transportation. C. A cheaper bus pass paid with pre-tax money. D. A free personal parking space reserved for you. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要讲的是耶鲁大学（Yale University）的停车政策及相关替代方案。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Parking at Yale is limited中第二段的“All cars parked on University property must be registered, insured, and operable.(所有停放在大学场地内的车辆均须完成登记、投保且保持可正常行驶状态。)”可知，在耶鲁校园停车必须满足车辆注册、投保且可正常行驶的要求。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Parking at Yale is limited中第三段的“Official punishments such as tickets, towing, and booting (锁车轮) of vehicles may result from breaking the parking rules.(违反停车规定可能会招致官方处罚，例如开具罚单、拖车以及锁车轮（将车轮锁住）。)”可知，违反停车规则会面临罚单、拖车、锁车轮等处罚。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Alternatives to Parking on Campus中的“Savings on the cost of your monthly bus pass through pre-tax payroll deduction (减免).(通过税前工资扣除方式，可节省每月公交卡费用。)”可知，乘坐公共汽车而不是在耶鲁停车的好处是可以通过税前工资减免降低公交月卡费用。故选C。 B To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves. “Woah.” “I’ve never seen anying like this.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room. Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.” In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies. In the four decades since the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world, he moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years. “People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.” 4. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture? A. It is controversial. B. It is revolutionary. C. It is innovative. D. It is educational. 5. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”? A. To commercialize bee products. B. To advocate for bees through art. C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees. D. To illustrate a new method of sculpture. 6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4? A. Introduce the background of the bee art. B. Summarize the history of beekeeping. C. Provide bee-themed activities for kids. D. Add four generations under one roof. 7. What was the impact of the bee population loss? A. People became tolerant of Puett. B. Puett downsized his beekeeping. C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures. D. Public perception of bees has been improved. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍艺术家加内特·普埃特以活蜜蜂为创作元素的雕塑作品，讲述其创作的背景、初衷，以及蜜蜂数量锐减后公众对蜜蜂的认知转变。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves. (笼子里有三尊人体雕塑，身上爬满了一大群昆虫。蜜蜂在雕塑的脸上缓缓移动，各处的蜂群密集得像雕塑上长出的毛皮——会动的毛皮。)”以及第二段中的““Woah.” “I’ve never seen anying like this.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room. (参观者走进这个安静的房间时，都会发出“哇”“我从没见过这样的东西”的惊叹。)”可知，参观者从未见过以活蜜蜂为创作元素的雕塑作品，对这种新颖的艺术形式感到惊叹，体现出他们认为该作品极具创新性。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.” (这是带有使命的艺术：普埃特希望提醒观者蜜蜂所拥有的力量与创造力，而如今蜜蜂的生存正受到全球范围的威胁。普埃特说；“这算是一种潜意识的宣传，想让大家知道蜜蜂是有益的”)”可知，普埃特创作蜜蜂雕塑的核心目的是通过艺术形式倡导人们关注蜜蜂、重视蜜蜂的生存现状。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. (上世纪80年代，普埃特的蜜蜂雕塑首次在艺术界走红时，人们只觉得他是个玩蜜蜂的人。而事实上，他将蜜蜂融入创作源于深厚的家族传统。)”、“He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. (他是第四代养蜂人，自18世纪起，他的家族就以养蜂为生。)”以及“His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies. (他的养蜂场经历，让他创作的蜜蜂主题艺术作品兼具专业性与精准度。)”可知，作者写该段的核心目的是介绍普埃特创作蜜蜂艺术的背景，解释其为何能将蜜蜂与艺术结合，让读者理解其创作的由来。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years. (外来物种在他家的养蜂场害死了大量蜜蜂，过去15年里，存活的蜂巢数量从4000个锐减至约2000个。)”以及最后一段“But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. (但在两年内蜜蜂数量减少一半后，人们愈发意识到它们的重要性，也变得更加理解和珍惜蜜蜂。)”可知，蜜蜂数量的锐减带来的直接影响是公众对蜜蜂的认知和看法发生了积极转变，开始重视蜜蜂的价值。故选D项。 C Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person. The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticise the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. Over time, the child may learn that love is conditional. They may hide their real feelings, stop exploring their own interests, and start to believe, “I am not worthy.” Experts describe three common signs. The first is psychological control. When the child sets a boundary or feels upset, the parent may say, “You’re too sensitive,” and turn the blame back onto the child. This often creates a sense of guilt. The second is unpredictable mood swings. The parent can be warm one day and cold the next, making the child feel like they are “walking on eggshells”. In adulthood, this may lead to people-pleasing and weak boundaries. The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically. As a result, the child may grow up too fast and miss out on a normal childhood. Healing takes time, but it is possible. The first step is to be kinder to yourself and reconnect with your own interests. Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary. After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof. 8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To raise an issue. B. To describe a study. C. To explain the causes. D. To offer the solutions. 9. What does “peacock parenting” in paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Public approval. B. Unconditional love. C. Independent growth. D. Honest self-expression. 10. Which sign best matches “role reversal” in paragraph 3? A. The parent praises the child in public. B. The child tries to win others’ approval. C. The parent relies on the child for support. D. The child avoids setting any boundaries. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Distance ensures safety. B. Self-care is the final step. C. Healing requires parental effort. D. Support exists beyond the family. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍孔雀式育儿的定义、表现、对孩子的伤害以及孩子自我疗愈的方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person. (许多孩子努力让父母骄傲。但在一些家庭里，孩子的成功总被“展示”。父母想得到别人的赞扬，孩子可能感觉自己像个表演者，而不是一个人。)”可知，第一段提出有些父母把孩子的成功当作炫耀资本这一问题，从而引出下文对孔雀式育儿的介绍。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticise the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. (“孔雀式育儿”一词源于“像孔雀一样骄傲”的说法。在这里，它指一种以自我为中心的育儿方式。孔雀式父母可能在公共场合炫耀“完美家庭”，但当孩子达不到高期望时，会在私下批评孩子。)”可知，孔雀式育儿主要关注获得公众的认可与赞扬。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically.(第三种是角色反转。一些父母无法给予适当的照顾和关注，甚至期望孩子在情感或身体上照顾他们。)”可知，角色反转指的是父母依赖孩子获得支持。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof.(毕竟，有很多地方可以找到温暖，并非所有温暖都来自父母的家中。)”可知，支持与温暖不只存在于家庭中。故选D项。 D A scientist working with NASA has offered a simple answer to a long-standing question: if the universe is so large, why haven’t we heard from intelligent aliens (外星人)? In an early study that has not yet been peer-reviewed, Dr Robin Corbet, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, argues that it could simply be because they’re not interested in finding us. This question is often called the “Fermi paradox”. It points out that the universe seems big enough to hold many habitable worlds, yet we have found no clear sign of intelligent life beyond Earth. Some people think aliens are hiding, or that they are too advanced for us to understand. Corbet offers a more ordinary explanation. He argues that many civilizations might stop making major progress after reaching a “good enough” level of technology. Once life becomes comfortable, curiosity may fade. Even if travel between stars is possible, a civilization might explore for a time and then decide there is little new to discover. Each journey could bring fewer surprises, so the cost of exploration no longer seems worth it. Corbet compares this to getting used to something: when the same experience happens again and again, it feels less exciting. If most civilizations reach such a limit, sending messages across space may start to seem pointless. In that case, our radio searches might pick up only weak “leakage” signals — radio waves that escape by accident — rather than deliberate messages. Corbet adds that a detection could happen someday, but it might not lead to a big jump in our technology. The Galaxy, he suggests, may be full of life — just not life that finds us especially important. 12. What does Corbet’s study mainly try to explain? A. The absence of clear alien contact. B. The idea of aliens’ hiding from humans. C. The abundance of habitable worlds in space. D. The lack of humans’ interest in finding aliens. 13. What does paragraph 3 suggest about the motivation to explore further? A. Comfort may renew curiosity about exploring. B. Star travel may keep curiosity alive for a time. C. A settled life may weaken the drive to explore. D. New discoveries may make exploration worthwhile. 14. Why does the author mention “getting used to something” in the last paragraph? A. To account for weak “leakage” signals. B. To show why messages might seem pointless. C. To explain why exploration may lose its appeal. D. To suggest a detection may bring little progress. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. When the Stars Stop Calling B. Life Out There, Silence Here C. Why the Galaxy Isn’t Empty D. Clear Signals, Fading Curiosity 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家Corbet对“费米悖论”提出新解释，即外星文明可能因失去探索动力而未与人类联系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A scientist working with NASA has offered a simple answer to a long-standing question: if the Universe is so large, why haven’t we heard from intelligent aliens (外星人)?(一位在美国宇航局工作的科学家，对一个长期存在的疑问给出了简单的答案：既然宇宙如此浩瀚，我们为什么从未收到过智慧外星人的音讯？)”以及第二段中“This question is often called the “Fermi paradox”. It points out that the universe seems big enough to hold many habitable worlds, yet we have found no clear sign of intelligent life beyond Earth. Some people think aliens are hiding, or that they are too advanced for us to understand. Corbet offers a more ordinary explanation.(这个问题通常被称为“费米悖论”。它指出：宇宙之大，足以容纳无数宜居星球，然而人类至今未发现地球之外存在智慧生命的明确迹象。有人认为外星人在刻意隐藏，或是它们的文明太过先进，人类无法理解；而Corbet给出了一个更平淡的解释。)”可知，Corbet的研究主要试图解释为什么没有明确的与外星人接触的迹象。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He argues that many civilizations might stop making major progress after reaching a “good enough” level of technology. Once life becomes comfortable, curiosity may fade.(他认为，许多文明在达到“足够好”的技术水平后可能会停止取得重大进展。一旦生活变得舒适，好奇心可能会消退。)”可知，第三段表明稳定的生活可能会削弱探索的动力。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Corbet compares this to getting used to something: when the same experience happens again and again, it feels less exciting. If most civilizations reach such a limit, sending messages across space may start to seem pointless.(Corbet将此比作习惯某事：当同样的经历一次又一次地发生时，它就不那么令人兴奋了。如果大多数文明都达到了这样的极限，那么跨越太空发送信息可能开始显得毫无意义。)”可知，作者提到“习惯某事”是为了解释为什么探索可能会失去吸引力。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“A scientist working with NASA has offered a simple answer to a long-standing question: if the Universe is so large, why haven’t we heard from intelligent aliens (外星人)?(一位在美国宇航局工作的科学家，对一个长期存在的疑问给出了简单的答案：既然宇宙如此浩瀚，我们为什么从未收到过智慧外星人的音讯？)”可知，文章主要讨论了为什么我们还没有收到来自外星智慧生命的明确信号，即宇宙中存在生命，但这里却保持沉默。因此，选项B“Life Out There, Silence Here(那里有生命，这里却沉默)”是最佳标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and tackle items from a to do list that gets neglected during the work week.

She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order. There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned. Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going. 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。 I realized it was me who was at fault. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I realized it was me who was at fault. I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time. My pride had kept me from reaching out, and now months had passed without a proper conversation. One evening, I picked up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet. To my relief, he called back the next day, and we agreed to get together soon. With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. He opened it with a surprised smile, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. Then we hugged — something we hadn’t done since before his wife passed away. We sat on the porch with Toby resting beside us, and I handed him the box of biscuits. “Thank you,” he said quietly. We talked for hours, laughing, remembering old times, and slowly rebuilding what had been lost. As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew we were finally on the path to healing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因担心弟弟的狗Toby影响聚会，要求弟弟看好狗，后因天气变化导致弟弟提前离开并心生芥蒂。两个月后作者意识到自己的过错，主动带着妻子做的饼干登门道歉，最终兄弟俩和解的故事，展现了亲情中理解与包容的重要性。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到是我错了。” 可知，第一段可描写作者反思自己在聚会上只顾控制局面，忽视了Toby对弟弟的重要性，因骄傲迟迟未联系弟弟，最终通过电话留言道歉并约定见面。 ②由第二段首句内容“带着妻子做的饼干，我来到了弟弟家门口。”可知，第二段可描写弟弟开门时的惊讶与沉默，兄弟俩拥抱和解，坐在门廊上谈心，看着Toby依偎在弟弟腿边，明白亲情修复的意义。 2. 续写线索：反思过错——电话留言道歉——约定见面——带饼干登门——拥抱沉默——谈心和解——领悟亲情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/say sorry/make an apology ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③重建：rebuild/restore/reconstruct 情绪类： ①宽慰：relief/comfort/satisfaction/ease ②惊讶：surprised /shocked/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time.（运用了“so...that...”引导结果状语从句以及how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] One evening, I picked up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及if引导的宾语从句） [高分句型 3] As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew we were finally on the path to healing.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省如皋中学2025-2026学年度第二学期综合练习（一） 高二英语 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves. “Woah.” “I’ve never seen anying like this.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room. Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.” In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies. In the four decades since the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world, he moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years. “People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.” 4. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture? A. It is controversial. B. It is revolutionary. C. It is innovative. D. It is educational. 5. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”? A. To commercialize bee products. B. To advocate for bees through art. C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees. D. To illustrate a new method of sculpture. 6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4? A. Introduce the background of the bee art. B. Summarize the history of beekeeping. C. Provide bee-themed activities for kids. D. Add four generations under one roof. 7. What was the impact of the bee population loss? A. People became tolerant of Puett. B. Puett downsized his beekeeping. C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures. D. Public perception of bees has been improved. C Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person. The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticise the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. Over time, the child may learn that love is conditional. They may hide their real feelings, stop exploring their own interests, and start to believe, “I am not worthy.” Experts describe three common signs. The first is psychological control. When the child sets a boundary or feels upset, the parent may say, “You’re too sensitive,” and turn the blame back onto the child. This often creates a sense of guilt. The second is unpredictable mood swings. The parent can be warm one day and cold the next, making the child feel like they are “walking on eggshells”. In adulthood, this may lead to people-pleasing and weak boundaries. The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically. As a result, the child may grow up too fast and miss out on a normal childhood. Healing takes time, but it is possible. The first step is to be kinder to yourself and reconnect with your own interests. Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary. After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof. 8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To raise an issue. B. To describe a study. C. To explain the causes. D. To offer the solutions. 9. What does “peacock parenting” in paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Public approval. B. Unconditional love. C. Independent growth. D. Honest self-expression. 10. Which sign best matches “role reversal” in paragraph 3? A. The parent praises the child in public. B. The child tries to win others’ approval. C. The parent relies on the child for support. D. The child avoids setting any boundaries. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Distance ensures safety. B. Self-care is the final step. C. Healing requires parental effort. D. Support exists beyond the family. D A scientist working with NASA has offered a simple answer to a long-standing question: if the universe is so large, why haven’t we heard from intelligent aliens (外星人)? In an early study that has not yet been peer-reviewed, Dr Robin Corbet, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, argues that it could simply be because they’re not interested in finding us. This question is often called the “Fermi paradox”. It points out that the universe seems big enough to hold many habitable worlds, yet we have found no clear sign of intelligent life beyond Earth. Some people think aliens are hiding, or that they are too advanced for us to understand. Corbet offers a more ordinary explanation. He argues that many civilizations might stop making major progress after reaching a “good enough” level of technology. Once life becomes comfortable, curiosity may fade. Even if travel between stars is possible, a civilization might explore for a time and then decide there is little new to discover. Each journey could bring fewer surprises, so the cost of exploration no longer seems worth it. Corbet compares this to getting used to something: when the same experience happens again and again, it feels less exciting. If most civilizations reach such a limit, sending messages across space may start to seem pointless. In that case, our radio searches might pick up only weak “leakage” signals — radio waves that escape by accident — rather than deliberate messages. Corbet adds that a detection could happen someday, but it might not lead to a big jump in our technology. The Galaxy, he suggests, may be full of life — just not life that finds us especially important. 12. What does Corbet’s study mainly try to explain? A. The absence of clear alien contact. B. The idea of aliens’ hiding from humans. C. The abundance of habitable worlds in space. D. The lack of humans’ interest in finding aliens. 13. What does paragraph 3 suggest about the motivation to explore further? A. Comfort may renew curiosity about exploring. B. Star travel may keep curiosity alive for a time. C. A settled life may weaken the drive to explore. D. New discoveries may make exploration worthwhile. 14. Why does the author mention “getting used to something” in the last paragraph? A.

She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order. There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned. Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going. 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。 I realized it was me who was at fault. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
