B Atl02 years old,the American neurologist(神经学家)，Howard Tucker,.has lived a life so extraordinary that it earned him a Guinness World Record as the oldest practicing doctor.Though he officially hung up his white coat at 100,he remains as active and engaged as ever. Today,he lectures future physicians at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland,Ohio,and consults on medico-legal cases.“Retirement,I think,is the enemy of longevity（长寿)，”Dr.Tucker recently told Today."You have to have some purpose in life and get up in the morning and know what you're about.” 高二英语B第4页（共12页） Even after the hospital where he worked shut its doors in 2022,ending his medical practice at 100,it hasn't prevented Tucker from returning to clinical work."If it weren't for the closure,I'd absolutely still be seeing patients,"he said."Nobody wants me at my age-but Ill keep trying." His enthusiasm for life has caught the public imagination,especially through What's Next,a documentary about his life produced by his grandson.Dr.Tucker credits his longevity not just to his parents who lived to 84 and 96 but also to his lifestyle choices,including a sensible diet and a happy life.His daily routine reflects that philosophy.He snowshoes in the winter,walks on the running machine for at least four kilometers a day,and eats a mostly clean diet.Dr.Tucker also says it's important to keep the brain motivated."If you retire from your work,you should at least do something as a hobby,”he explained.“You need a motivation for the brain daily..” For a man who's devoted his life to healing others,Dr.Howard Tucker's greatest lesson might be how to truly live. 24.What do we know about Tucker after he tured 100? A.He opened a new clinic by himself. B.He focused on making documentaries. C.He quit his job in order to be a consultant. D.He was still engaged in medical-related work. 25.What does Tucker think of retirement? A.It is necessary for the old. B.It is beneficial to improving health. C.It goes against living a long life. D.It helps offer a clear life goal. 26.What helps Tucker live long according to him? A.Good genes and a healthy lifestyle. B.Public attention and daily exercise. C.Rich social experience and family influence. D.An active brain care and strong enthusiasm. 27.What can be the best title for the text? A.The Secrets to a True Life B.A 102-year-old Active Doctor C.The Importance of Living Long D.Ways to Become a Neurologist 高二英语B第5页（共12页） Each species of whale has a distinct communication system that often varies within populations. Since humans have been researching and observing these forms of communication,a question has arisen:Could humans one day engage in acoustic（声音的)interactions with whales?To find out the answer,researchers from the Whale-SETI team have been exploring whale-to-human communication with humpback whales(座头鲸). When scientists recorded a humpback whale contact call,known as a"whup",and played it underwater around their research boat,it was eye-opening for them to find a whale named Twain became a more than willing participant in the call-and-response exchange.Scientists produced a whup call.Twain would then respond with her own whup call to them.This was described as "conversation" in PeerJ paper. "It might loosely translate to 'hello'or some sort of greeting call when other creatures come together or just to signal that they are in a certain location,says Josephine Hubbard,an animal behaviorist with Whale SETI.In this case,it was as if Twain was either saying"hello"to scientists or "I'm over here."But in both instances,she was responding to and engaging with whale signals that humans produced.She circled around the scientists'boat and produced more signals before leaving. "What's cool about her is that she could have left at any point,as it wasn't an environment where she couldn't leave,so she was choosing to be close to us,said Hubbard. Humpback whales also produced“bubble(气泡)rings”close to boats suggesting that they were being playful and doing it in a relaxed manner.All the findings showed humpback whales enjoyed friendly encounters with humans. Of course,whether whales want to communicate with humans varies by the nature of the whale and by the situation.Just like some humans are more outgoing than others,this could also be true for whales,although this would need more research to understand. 28.What can we infer about Twain from paragraph 2? A.She is willing to follow the boat. B.She understands human language. C.She is keen to learn about humans. D.She has active interactions with humans. 29.What does Hubbard say about the "whup"call? A.It is attractive to other creatures. B.It is a greeting or location signal. C.It is used to express emotions. D.It is a way to locate food. 高二英语B第6页（共12页） 30.Why did Twain produce“bubble rings”? A.To get close to boats. B.To show playfulness and relaxation. C.To warn other whales. D.To express welcome to humans. 31.What will the researchers probably focus on next? A.How to help whales live in groups. B.How acoustic signals develop among whales. C.How to record more whale sounds in the sea. D.How whales'personalities affect their communication. D Imagine an invention that is worse at what it does than humans.You might think it would go nowhere fast.But actually,that's not the case.In fact,the supermarket self-checkout machine is a typical example of technology adoption.How can something spread despite having disadvantages? Start with its spread.Before self-checkout came self-service.The Piggly-Wiggly grocery chain, which opened in Tennessee in 1916,was the first in America to allow customers to pick items from the shelves.It took a while for American shoppers to be able to scan()and pay for goods themselves. Kroger,another retailer ()introduced self-checkout machines in 1986.It was not until this century that they became widespread. All new technologies must get over many problems.In Britain,initial encounters with self-scan machines involved a cold voice shouting "unexpected item in the baggage area"at you,which made customers feel unpleasant.Even now,they bring some small troubles.For example,you have to prove your age to buy alcohol,even if you are clearly old enough.You also have to follow many steps to show that the yellow fruit in your basket is a lemon.A real cashier can deal with these problems easily and quickly.When lines build up,human cashiers are better. Why then are self-service machines a fixture in most retailers?The main reason is money.Self- checkout needs far fewer workers than traditional checkouts.In a highly competitive industry,saving money gives supermarkets a strong reason to keep using them.As time passes,shoppers will get more used to self-checkout,so the technology will be improved. Self-checkout machines are themselves designed to handle the trade-offs.These trade-offs explain why a perfect checkout system is hard to create.In theory,Amazon Go,a sensor-packed store where customers can just walk out without going anywhere near a checkout,offers a perfect customer experience.In practice,industry observers say that it is extremely expensive to track every item in a shop digitally. 高二英语B第7页（共12页） Real-world limits mean that technologies often take small steps rather than great leaps.Self- checkout technology is no different. 32.What does the author mainly want to express in paragraph 2? A.Self-checkout spread slowly over time. B.Early shoppers disliked scanning goods C.Kroger led the development of checkout. D.Self-service was popular at the beginning. 33.What does the underlined word "fixture"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Common sight. B.Big machine. C.New technology. D.Kind of service. 34.Why is Amazon Go mentioned in the text? A.To introduce a future technology B.To prove digital tracking is useful. C.To show a good system is costly. D.To stress the importance of sensors. 35.What's the main idea of the text? A.Real-world limitations prevent tech progress. B.Cost is the key to improving customer experience. C.Imperfect technology can still gain wide acceptance. D.Self-checkout machines will replace human cashiers. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 In an era where screens dominate our attention,the simple act of reading a physical book might seem outdated.However,the benefits of engaging yourself in printed books go far beyond the stories themselves. 36 Reading physical books can improve your focus and concentration.Unlike digital devices that constantly send notifications ()a book offers no distractions.37 This focused state is not only relaxing but also trains your brain to concentrate for longer periods.That is a skill that is increasingly valuable in our fast-paced world. The act of turning pages and engaging with a real object creates a unique sensory experience. 38 This physical interaction can help strengthen memories and improve understanding compared to simply scrolling (on a screen.Studies suggest that readers of printed books often remember plot points and details better than e-reader users. 高二英语B第8页（共12页） 39 The soft warm light of a lamp and the quiet rustle(沙沙声)of pages create a peaceful atmosphere that signals to your brain that it's time to wind down.This can lead to better sleep quality,as the blue light from screens is known to affect our natural sleep cycles. Building a personal library allows you to create a physical record of your intellectual journey. 40 Each book on your shelf serves as a reminder of the worlds you've explored and the ideas you've encountered,offering a sense of accomplishment and an invitation to revisit them. A.You can feel the weight of the book and the touch of the paper. B.It helps you finish books more quickly than reading on a screen. C.This allows you to enter a state of deep absorption known as"flow". D.This is because printed words are easier on the eyes than digital text. E.They provide an escape from reality and transport you to different worlds. F.Reading a printed book before bed can also significantly improve your sleep. G.Looking at your collection,you can see the knowledge you've gained over time. 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人空白处的最佳选项。 Just 2 months into my Ph.D.,I was about to quit.I came to the new city with a 41:to become a scientist.

For as long as I can remember,my family was financially struggling.The year I turned 9 was rough-probably the worst.In the days before Christmas,although my parents tried to hide how stressed they were,I heard Mom crying at night in the other room when she thought we were sleeping. I also noticed Dad was getting more gray hairs than before.At some point,from half-sentences I overheard and the heavy atmosphere around the house,I figured it out:We didn't have money,and Christmas was going to be terrible.I felt really bad for my younger sister and brother.I'd figured out two years earlier that gifts weren't brought by angels,but they didn't know that yet,and I wanted them to hold onto that magic a little longer. 高二英语B第11页（共12页）》 I tried to convince myself it was fine,but I couldn't.At the same time,I felt selfish and guilty( for wanting to cry every time someone mentioned Christmas gifts.So I wasn't looking forward to the winter break at all. At school,I could barely hide my low spirits.I used to be a lively kid who loved answering questions in class,but those days,I sat quietly in my seat,staring out the window,too lost in worry to focus on lessons.When the class talked about Christmas plans or the gifts they hoped for,I would bow my head.I even skipped the class Christmas craft activity,saying I wasn't feeling well,because I couldn't afford the small materials needed.My teacher,Miss Smith,who was always attentive,noticed all these little changes. On the last day of school,she told me to stay after class until everyone was gone,saying she needed to talk to me.Obviously,I panicked,thinking I'd done something wrong. 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。 But instead of a lecture,she gave me a box with my name on it. Knowing her white lie,I took the gift box home with tears in my eyes. 高二英语B第12页（共12页）
