Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, a lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco, and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him, but unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Upcoming 2025 Expos in New York Sunday, April 14, 2025 — Hempstead (Long Island), NY The chocolate Expo is a delightful event that centers around the tastings and sales of an array of treats including chocolates, freshly baked goods, specialty foods, cheeses, high-quality dairy products, as well as craft beverages like wines, spirits, cider and mead, with selections varying by location.

In that case, there is an extreme probability that you will mention Florence Nightingale the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse. It’s safe to say that Florence is the archetype (典型) of contemporary nurses. Florence was born on May 12th, 1820 and her journey to greatness started. She was born into privilege. She was a polymath genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today. She even memorized the works of philosophy and would often debate with her father. She had the option of having a society life in a nice big house, with a staff of servants. However, she craved for something worth doing instead of frittering away time on useless trifles. She determined to end suffering in this world as a nurse, but both of her parents disagreed with that, for nursing was considered inferior at that time. Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents over and over again, but they didn’t budge. When Florence turned 30, her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training. In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital. Florence didn’t know at the time that she was going to be dragged into one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history — the Crimean War. Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. It’s difficult to overstate the contributions that Florence Nightingale made to medicine, including her work on sanitation and hygiene and on organizational structures, and especially to nursing. Her work as well as her lite represents the power of a single determined individual who is set on bringing a positive change to society. She pulled off the inevitable and became a legend and immortal in the pages of history. 24. Why is Florence Nightingale mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To praise Nightingale’s genius in multiple fields. B. To present how tough Nightingale’s teenage life was. C. To introduce Nightingale’s impact during the Crimean War. D. To illustrate what modern-day nurses are supposed to be like. 25. What does the underlined word “budge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Obey. B. compromise. C. Respect. D. Care. 26. Which of the following can best describes Florence Nightingale? A. Intelligent and reserved. B. Ambitious and sociable. C. Single-minded and innocent. D. committed and compassionate. 27. What can we infer about Florence Nightingale from the last two paragraphs? A. Her contribution to the healthcare system was played down. B. She was a game-changing nurse in saving people during the war C. She resisted her parents by devoting herself to a higher calling. D. She intended to participate in one of the cruelest wars in European history. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔这位伟大护士的生平事迹，包括她的成长背景、追求护士职业的决心以及在克里米亚战争期间对医疗保健的贡献等。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s safe to say that Florence is the archetype (典型) of contemporary nurses. (可以肯定地说，弗洛伦斯是当代护士的典型)”可知，文章第一段提到弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔是为了说明现代护士应该是怎样的，因为她被视为当代护士的典型。故选D项。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“However, she craved for something worth doing instead of frittering away time on useless trifles. She determined to end suffering in this world as a nurse, but both of her parents disagreed with that, for nursing was considered inferior at that time. (然而，她渴望做一些有价值的事情，而不是把时间浪费在无用的琐事上。她决定以护士的身份结束这个世界的痛苦，但她的父母都不同意，因为当时护理被认为是一种低下的职业)”以及“Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents over and over again (在接下来的12—13年里，弗洛伦斯一次又一次地试图说服她的父母)”可知，弗洛伦斯想要成为护士，但她的父母不同意，她花了12—13年的时间试图说服他们，但他们没有“妥协”，由此可推测，划线词budge意为“妥协”。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. (南丁格尔致力于在克里米亚战争期间改善医疗保健，这导致了死亡率的大幅下降)”以及最后一段中“Her work as well as her lite represents the power of a single determined individual who is set on bringing a positive change to society. (她的工作和生活代表了一个坚定的个人决心为社会带来积极变化的力量)”可推知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔致力于改善医疗保健，为减少战争伤亡做出了巨大贡献，同时她的决心和行动也体现了她对社会带来积极改变的坚定信念，所以她是一个有奉献精神和富有同情心的人。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Florence didn’t know at the time that she was going to be dragged into one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history — the Crimean War. Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. (弗洛伦斯当时并不知道她将被卷入欧洲历史上最血腥的冲突之一 —— 克里米亚战争。南丁格尔致力于在克里米亚战争期间改善医疗保健，这导致了死亡率的大幅下降)”可推知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在战争期间拯救了很多人，她是一位改变局面的护士。故选B项。 C Thermal paper, widely used in shopping receipts, express waybills and movie tickets, has become an indispensable part of modern daily life. However, its massive use has long brought two unsolved problems. Traditional thermal paper uses petroleum-based coatings, which are hard to degrade in the natural environment and contain harmful chemicals. Meanwhile, the printed personal information on it faces serious leakage risks, as the words can remain clear for years even in open environment. To solve these problems, Li Min, a material science expert from Zhejiang University, and her team developed a new type of plant-based thermal paper. The base of the paper is made of nano-cellulose (纳米纤维素) extracted from straw, a common agricultural waste. Inspired by the color-fading feature of anthocyanin, a natural pigment, when meeting water, the team chose it as the core colorant of the new paper. Different from traditional thermal paper which uses bisphenol A as a color developer, the new paper matches anthocyanin with biodegradable organic acid. When heated, the two components combine to form stable blue-black words, which can stay clear for over 6 months at normal room temperature, fully meeting the daily storage needs of most commercial receipts. The team carried out a set of controlled experiments to test the paper’s comprehensive performance. The results showed that the new paper’s printing clarity matches traditional commercial thermal paper. In the privacy protection test, the words on it disappeared completely within 30 seconds after being put into water. In the degradation test, it broke down fully in soil within 3 months, while traditional paper only degraded less than 10%in the same period. “Our current lab samples are still in small size,” Li says. “Large-scale industrial production may bring new challenges in material uniformity and production cost. We are clearly aware of these possible problems, and have started follow-up research to optimize the material, to promote its practical use step by step.” 28. What is a major problem of traditional thermal paper? A. It has very high production cost. B. It is not suitable for daily use. C. It breaks easily in wet environment. D. It risks serious personal information leakage. 29. What is the core colorant of the new thermal paper made from? A. Recycled waste materials. B. Natural plant extracts. C. Petroleum-based chemicals. D. Industrial by-products. 30. What result did Li’s team’s experiment confirm? A. Its printing clarity matches traditional thermal paper. B. It can be fully degraded within one month. C. Its words disappear completely in 10 seconds. D. It has a longer stable storage time. 31. What is Li Min’s attitude towards the industrial application of the new paper? A. Fully negative. B. Blindly optimistic. C. Rational and prudent. D. Totally unconcerned. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了浙江大学李旻团队为解决传统热敏纸难以降解、信息易泄露等问题，研发的一种以植物提取物为原料的新型环保热敏纸及其性能特点。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Meanwhile, the printed personal information on it faces serious leakage risks, as the words can remain clear for years even in open environment. (同时，其上打印的个人信息面临严重的泄露风险，因为即使在开放环境中，字迹也能保持清晰数年)”可知，传统热敏纸的一个主要问题是存在严重的个人信息泄露风险。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Inspired by the color-fading feature of anthocyanin, a natural pigment, when meeting water, the team chose it as the core colorant of the new paper. (受天然色素花青素遇水褪色特性的启发，团队选择它作为新纸的核心着色剂)”可知，新型热敏纸的核心着色剂来源于天然植物提取物。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The results showed that the new paper’s printing clarity matches traditional commercial thermal paper. (结果显示，新型纸的打印清晰度与传统的商业热敏纸相当)”可知，李旻团队的实验证实了新型纸的打印清晰度与传统热敏纸相当。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Large-scale industrial production may bring new challenges in material uniformity and production cost. We are clearly aware of these possible problems, and have started follow-up research to optimize the material, to promote its practical use step by step. (大规模工业化生产可能会在材料均匀性和生产成本方面带来新的挑战。我们清楚地意识到这些可能存在的问题，并已开始后续研究以优化材料，逐步推进其实际应用)”可知，李旻对新型纸的工业应用既认识到可能存在的挑战，又采取了积极的后续研究，态度是理性且审慎的。故选C项。 D While coral reefs cover only a tiny fraction of the ocean floor, they are home to millions of plants and animals, representing tens of thousands of species. Researchers estimate that nearly 60 percent of the world’s coral reefs are seriously threatened. Corals depend on clean, clear, relatively shallow waters to survive. When stressed, they can lose their co-existing zooxanthelle (虫黄藻) — a process called “bleaching”, which means the coral’s color is removed. Without its food source, the coral often dies. Along polluted coastlines or on reefs where plant-eating fish have been severely reduced by fishing, the coral reefs are quickly overrun with seaweed. The climate events of 1997 — 1998, such as flooding, mudslides and destructive storms, struck a major blow to the world’s coral. “Global ocean and land temperatures averaged about four degrees Fahrenheit above normal, and sea level rose at least one inch above average,” said Dr. William Patzert, JPL oceanographer. “We saw areas where for tens or hundreds of kilometers, there was 90 percent death. Total global coral death rate may have been as high as 20 percent.” This became the best-documented global coral bleaching event in history. “For the first time,” said Patzert,“scientists were watching all the tropical oceans and seas from space, while an army of researchers and citizen scuba divers recorded the underwater devastation — the locations and intensity of coral bleaching. These data will provide an advance in our understanding of coral reefs.” Using satellite data on sea-surface temperatures, scientists are developing maps of “hot spots”, places where unusually warm sea-surface temperatures may be stressing corals. These may provide an early warning of coral reefs in distress and, possibly, another worldwide coral bleaching event. Remote sensing from satellites and aircraft is providing new ways to survey and monitor coral reefs. “We know that climate events and the heat changes around the tropics have huge impacts on corals,” said Patzert. “While we can’t change these natural events, the more we know about them and how they affect corals, the more we can do to help coral reefs survive.” 32. What can we learn about the coral reefs? A. They contribute to underwater diversity. B. They recover quickly after being bleached. C. They cover a large area of the ocean floor. D. They are threatened only by human activities. 33. What is the root cause of coral bleaching between 1997 and 1998? A. The loss of zooxanthelle. B. The rise of the sea level. C. The overgrowth of seaweed. D. The outbreak of climate events. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward using satellite data in the research? A Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Negative. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Coral Reefs: Home to Marine Biodiversity B. Coral Bleaching: Causes and Monitoring Efforts C. Satellite Technology: A Solution to coral Decline D. Coral Reefs: Climate Threats and Protective Measures 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了珊瑚礁虽在海底覆盖面积小，却是众多生物家园，但如今面临严重威胁，重点阐述了1997 — 1998年珊瑚礁白化的原因以及利用卫星数据监测珊瑚礁的相关情况。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“While coral reefs cover only a tiny fraction of the ocean floor, they are home to millions of plants and animals, representing tens of thousands of species.(虽然珊瑚礁只覆盖了海底的一小部分，但它们是数百万动植物的家园，代表了成千上万的物种)”可知，珊瑚礁为众多海洋生物提供栖息地，有助于海洋生物多样性，即对水下生物多样性有贡献。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The climate events of 1997 — 1998, such as flooding, mudslides and destructive storms, struck a major blow to the world’s coral.(1997 — 1998年的气候事件，如洪水、泥石流和破坏性风暴，对世界珊瑚礁造成了重大打击)”以及“Total global coral death rate may have been as high as 20 percent.(全球珊瑚总死亡率可能高达20%。)”可知，1997 - 1998年珊瑚白化的根本原因是气候事件的爆发。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Using satellite data on sea-surface temperatures, scientists are developing maps of “hot spots”, places where unusually warm sea-surface temperatures may be stressing corals. These may provide an early warning of coral reefs in distress and, possibly, another worldwide coral bleaching event. Remote sensing from satellites and aircraft is providing new ways to survey and monitor coral reefs.(利用卫星提供的海面温度数据，科学家们正在绘制“热点”地图，在这些地方，异常温暖的海面温度可能给珊瑚带来压力。这些数据可能为处于困境的珊瑚礁以及可能发生的另一次全球珊瑚白化事件提供早期预警。卫星和飞机的遥感技术为调查和监测珊瑚礁提供了新方法)”可知，作者认为利用卫星数据对监测珊瑚礁有积极作用，所以作者对在研究中使用卫星数据持支持态度。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍了珊瑚礁虽在海底覆盖面积小，却是众多生物家园，但如今面临严重威胁，重点阐述了1997 - 1998年珊瑚礁白化的原因以及利用卫星数据监测珊瑚礁的相关情况。B选项“珊瑚白化：原因和监测努力”为最佳标题。故选B项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. ____36____ Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. ____37____ For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. ____38____ You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on. Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. ____39____ Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale. Pause before purchasing. ____40____ Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid unnecessary repetition. A. Tum off sales alerts. B. Spave with a purpose. C.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何避免陷入“为了多省钱而多花钱（spaving）”陷阱的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. (如果你曾经为了免运费而在购物车里多加了一件商品，那么你就成了所谓的“spaving”的受害者，“spaving”被定义为“为了多省钱而多花钱”的行为。）”以及下文“Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. (以下是一些提示和技巧，下次当你为了节省开支而忍不住多花一点钱时，或许可以参考。)”可知，上文提出“spaving”这一概念，即“为了多省钱而多花钱”，下文则给出避免该陷阱的建议，G选项“To avoid such a trap, it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge. (为了避免陷入这样的陷阱，打断这种冲动是非常重要的。)”中的“such a trap”指代上文的“spaving”，且提出了避免“spaving”的方法，即打断冲动，承上启下。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to get a great deal. (广告的语言可能会让你相信自己即将得到一笔划算的交易。)”以及下文“By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. (通过计算，你会很快意识到节省的金额并没有看起来那么多。)”可知，此处应是在描述广告语言的迷惑性，以及通过计算可以揭示真相，C选项“But the numbers tell a different story. (但数字却讲述了一个不同的故事。)”通过转折，引出实际计算后的真实情况，与上下文逻辑一致，且其中的“numbers”与下文的“doing the math”相呼应。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. (如果你不知道有促销活动，你就不会有购物的冲动。考虑将自己从喜欢的品牌的邮件列表中移除，这样每次有特价活动时你就不会收到通知了。)”可知，此处是在建议避免接收促销信息，A选项“Turn off sales alerts. (关闭促销提醒。)”概括了段落核心内容，可作为小标题。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. (专注于你的购物清单。如果你手里有一份提前制定好的购物清单，你就可以避免往购物车里添加额外的商品。)”可知，此处是在建议制定购物清单以避免冲动购物，E选项“It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage. (它还可以帮助你更好地利用促销活动。)”中的“it”指代上文的“shopping list”，且表明购物清单还可以帮助你更好地利用促销活动，符合语境。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Pause before purchasing. (在购买前暂停一下。)”以及下文“Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. (在购买前等待24小时，同时四处逛逛，比较价格，甚至寻找更新的选择。)”可知，此处是在建议购买前暂停一下，F选项“Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not. (花点时间决定是否真的需要购买。)”直接呼应“Pause before purchasing”的主题，且与下文的等待24小时再购买的建议相契合。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Forty years ago, Yin Yuzhen arrived at her new home in a vast desert in northern China.

Without support from the local government, he wouldn’t have been able to gain knowledge with us. Wilson always kept a low profile despite his shiny academic performances and basketball skills. In a class meeting, our head teacher, Lily, told us to share our ideal jobs on stage. When it was Wilson’s turn to share, all of us fixed our eyes on what he was going to express. He had never talked about his dream with anyone of us. Contrary to my assumption that he wanted to become a scientist, he said, “I desire to become a professional basketball player, but I don’t know whether it’s possible for me. I just have no money to realize this demanding dream.” Lily, who was experienced in inspiring students, persuaded Wilson to persist in enhancing his basketball skills in spare time. She also noted that every dream deserved respecting. Three months later, Wilson’s birthday came. Our monitor, Diana, put forward an idea that all of the classmates prepared a gift for him together. Without hesitation, we were totally for the idea. However, no one knew what kinds of gifts Wilson loved. It seemed a headache for us to pick out a suitable gift. Suddenly, Diana broke the silence, saying, “Maybe we can consider Wilson’s dream — basketball. Selecting something about playing basketball will cheer him up.” We all nodded. With our tasks assigned, we set out to make preparations for Wilson’s birthday, ranging from decorating settings, raising money, to buying a birthday cake. That day finally came after five days. We planned to give Wilson a big surprise. Therefore, we just informed him that the P. E. teacher was waiting for him on the basketball court. Undoubtedly, he ran to the basketball court. Meanwhile, the whole class were expecting his arrival, hoping to witness the surprise with him. Soon, Wilson entered the basketball court, unaware of what would happen next. “Happy birthday!” we screamed excitedly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Diana led Wilson to see the birthday cake, which reminded him of his dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by our warmth and special gift, Wilson extended his thanks to us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Diana led Wilson to see the birthday cake, which reminded him of his dream. “Wilson, we have no idea of what your beloved gift might be. Thus, we eventually reached an agreement that a birthday cake was something that would allow us to share the joy with you,” said Diana. The image on the cake caught his attention, which was composed of a boy, a basketball and a net. It conveyed the message that the boy was redoubling his efforts to throw the basketball into the net. Moved by our warmth and special gift, Wilson extended his thanks to us. “Thanks for your thoughtful arrangement. This scene will linger vividly in my mind permanently,” said Wilson. One of the classmates persuaded Wilson to light up the candles and make a wish. He plucked up his courage to express his wish of becoming a professional basketball player. Applause coming flooding in, we were delighted that he was determined to stick to his dream. Feeling over the moon, we cut the cake and enjoyed the greasy yet delectable cream together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了上中学的时候作者的同学Wilson家里经济困难，所以尽管他篮球出色，但也一直很低调。一次班会，班主任让分享自己的理想，Wilson说出了自己的梦想是成为职业篮球队员，但是怕因为经济困难无法实现。同学Lily说服Wilson在业余时间坚持练习打篮球。Wilson的生日快要到了，班长提出要送给Wilson一件礼物，大家都赞成并且积极的配合为Wilson准备了一个特别的蛋糕并且打算给Wilson一个惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“戴安娜带Wilson去看生日蛋糕，这使他想起了他的梦想。”可知，第一段可描写Wilson看到关于他篮球梦想的蛋糕的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“Wilson被我们的热情和特殊的礼物感动了，他向我们表示了感谢。”可知，第二段可描写Wilson向大家表示感谢并许愿要坚持梦想的过程。 2.续写线索：Wilson看到蛋糕——感动并感谢大家——许愿坚持篮球梦想——大家一起吃蛋糕 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①传递：convey/transmit ③许愿：make a wish /make a vow 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/thanks for ②高兴的：delighted /happy/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1]Thus, we eventually reached an agreement that a birthday cake was something that would allow us to share the joy with you.（由第一个that连接的同位语从句和第二个that引导的限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]It conveyed the message that the boy was redoubling his efforts to throw the basketball into the net. （由连接词that连接的同位语从句） [高分句型3]Applause coming flooding in, we were delighted that he was determined to stick to his dream.（运用了独立主格和that连接的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2025-2026学年高三下期03月二轮测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Suppose I were to ask you to name some of the greatest nurses that the world has ever known. In that case, there is an extreme probability that you will mention Florence Nightingale the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse. It’s safe to say that Florence is the archetype (典型) of contemporary nurses. Florence was born on May 12th, 1820 and her journey to greatness started. She was born into privilege. She was a polymath genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today. She even memorized the works of philosophy and would often debate with her father. She had the option of having a society life in a nice big house with a staff of servants. However, she craved for something worth doing instead of frittering away time on useless trifles. She determined to end suffering in this world as a nurse, but both of her parents disagreed with that, for nursing was considered inferior at that time. Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents over and over again, but they didn’t budge. When Florence turned 30, her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training. In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital. Florence didn’t know at the time that she was going to be dragged into one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history — the Crimean War. Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. It’s difficult to overstate the contributions that Florence Nightingale made to medicine, including her work on sanitation and hygiene and on organizational structures, and especially to nursing. Her work as well as her lite represents the power of a single determined individual who is set on bringing a positive change to society. She pulled off the inevitable and became a legend and immortal in the pages of history. 24. Why is Florence Nightingale mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To praise Nightingale’s genius in multiple fields. B. To present how tough Nightingale’s teenage life was. C. To introduce Nightingale’s impact during the Crimean War. D. To illustrate what modern-day nurses are supposed to be like. 25. What does the underlined word “budge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Obey. B. compromise. C. Respect. D. Care. 26. Which of the following can best describes Florence Nightingale? A. Intelligent and reserved. B. Ambitious and sociable. C. Single-minded and innocent. D. committed and compassionate. 27. What can we infer about Florence Nightingale from the last two paragraphs? A. Her contribution to the healthcare system was played down. B. She was a game-changing nurse in saving people during the war C. She resisted her parents by devoting herself to a higher calling. D. She intended to participate in one of the cruelest wars in European history. C Thermal paper, widely used in shopping receipts, express waybills and movie tickets, has become an indispensable part of modern daily life. However, its massive use has long brought two unsolved problems. Traditional thermal paper uses petroleum-based coatings, which are hard to degrade in the natural environment and contain harmful chemicals. Meanwhile, the printed personal information on it faces serious leakage risks, as the words can remain clear for years even in open environment. To solve these problems, Li Min, a material science expert from Zhejiang University, and her team developed a new type of plant-based thermal paper. The base of the paper is made of nano-cellulose (纳米纤维素) extracted from straw, a common agricultural waste. Inspired by the color-fading feature of anthocyanin, a natural pigment, when meeting water, the team chose it as the core colorant of the new paper. Different from traditional thermal paper which uses bisphenol A as a color developer, the new paper matches anthocyanin with biodegradable organic acid. When heated, the two components combine to form stable blue-black words, which can stay clear for over 6 months at normal room temperature, fully meeting the daily storage needs of most commercial receipts. The team carried out a set of controlled experiments to test the paper’s comprehensive performance. The results showed that the new paper’s printing clarity matches traditional commercial thermal paper. In the privacy protection test, the words on it disappeared completely within 30 seconds after being put into water. In the degradation test, it broke down fully in soil within 3 months, while traditional paper only degraded less than 10%in the same period. “Our current lab samples are still in small size,” Li says. “Large-scale industrial production may bring new challenges in material uniformity and production cost. We are clearly aware of these possible problems, and have started follow-up research to optimize the material, to promote its practical use step by step.” 28. What is a major problem of traditional thermal paper? A. It has very high production cost. B. It is not suitable for daily use. C. It breaks easily in wet environment. D. It risks serious personal information leakage. 29. What is the core colorant of the new thermal paper made from? A. Recycled waste materials. B. Natural plant extracts. C. Petroleum-based chemicals. D. Industrial by-products. 30. What result did Li’s team’s experiment confirm? A. Its printing clarity matches traditional thermal paper. B. It can be fully degraded within one month. C. Its words disappear completely in 10 seconds. D. It has a longer stable storage time. 31. What is Li Min’s attitude towards the industrial application of the new paper? A. Fully negative. B. Blindly optimistic. C. Rational and prudent. D. Totally unconcerned. D While coral reefs cover only a tiny fraction of the ocean floor, they are home to millions of plants and animals, representing tens of thousands of species. Researchers estimate that nearly 60 percent of the world’s coral reefs are seriously threatened. Corals depend on clean, clear, relatively shallow waters to survive. When stressed, they can lose their co-existing zooxanthelle (虫黄藻) — a process called “bleaching”, which means the coral’s color is removed. Without its food source, the coral often dies. Along polluted coastlines or on reefs where plant-eating fish have been severely reduced by fishing, the coral reefs are quickly overrun with seaweed. The climate events of 1997 — 1998, such as flooding, mudslides and destructive storms, struck a major blow to the world’s coral. “Global ocean and land temperatures averaged about four degrees Fahrenheit above normal, and sea level rose at least one inch above average,” said Dr. William Patzert, JPL oceanographer. “We saw areas where for tens or hundreds of kilometers, there was 90 percent death. Total global coral death rate may have been as high as 20 percent.” This became the best-documented global coral bleaching event in history. “For the first time,” said Patzert,“scientists were watching all the tropical oceans and seas from space, while an army of researchers and citizen scuba divers recorded the underwater devastation — the locations and intensity of coral bleaching. These data will provide an advance in our understanding of coral reefs.” Using satellite data on sea-surface temperatures, scientists are developing maps of “hot spots”, places where unusually warm sea-surface temperatures may be stressing corals. These may provide an early warning of coral reefs in distress and, possibly, another worldwide coral bleaching event. Remote sensing from satellites and aircraft is providing new ways to survey and monitor coral reefs. “We know that climate events and the heat changes around the tropics have huge impacts on corals,” said Patzert. “While we can’t change these natural events, the more we know about them and how they affect corals, the more we can do to help coral reefs survive.” 32. What can we learn about the coral reefs? A. They contribute to underwater diversity. B. They recover quickly after being bleached. C. They cover a large area of the ocean floor. D. They are threatened only by human activities. 33. What is the root cause of coral bleaching between 1997 and 1998? A. The loss of zooxanthelle. B. The rise of the sea level. C. The overgrowth of seaweed. D. The outbreak of climate events. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward using satellite data in the research? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Negative. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Coral Reefs: Home to Marine Biodiversity B. Coral Bleaching: Causes and Monitoring Efforts C. Satellite Technology: A Solution to coral Decline D. Coral Reefs: Climate Threats and Protective Measures 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。 If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. ____36____ Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. ____37____ For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. ____38____ You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on. Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. ____39____ Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale. Pause before purchasing. ____40____ Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid unnecessary repetition. A. Tum off sales alerts. B. Spave with a purpose. C. But the numbers tell a different story. D. But consider all the potential ways to save the money. E. It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage. F. Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not. G. To avoid such a trap. it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Forty years ago, Yin Yuzhen arrived at her new home in a vast desert in northern China.

Without support from the local government, he wouldn’t have been able to gain knowledge with us. Wilson always kept a low profile despite his shiny academic performances and basketball skills. In a class meeting, our head teacher, Lily, told us to share our ideal jobs on stage. When it was Wilson’s turn to share, all of us fixed our eyes on what he was going to express. He had never talked about his dream with anyone of us. Contrary to my assumption that he wanted to become a scientist, he said, “I desire to become a professional basketball player, but I don’t know whether it’s possible for me. I just have no money to realize this demanding dream.” Lily, who was experienced in inspiring students, persuaded Wilson to persist in enhancing his basketball skills in spare time. She also noted that every dream deserved respecting. Three months later, Wilson’s birthday came. Our monitor, Diana, put forward an idea that all of the classmates prepared a gift for him together. Without hesitation, we were totally for the idea. However, no one knew what kinds of gifts Wilson loved. It seemed a headache for us to pick out a suitable gift. Suddenly, Diana broke the silence, saying, “Maybe we can consider Wilson’s dream — basketball. Selecting something about playing basketball will cheer him up.” We all nodded. With our tasks assigned, we set out to make preparations for Wilson’s birthday, ranging from decorating settings, raising money, to buying a birthday cake. That day finally came after five days. We planned to give Wilson a big surprise. Therefore, we just informed him that the P. E. teacher was waiting for him on the basketball court. Undoubtedly, he ran to the basketball court. Meanwhile, the whole class were expecting his arrival, hoping to witness the surprise with him. Soon, Wilson entered the basketball court, unaware of what would happen next. “Happy birthday!” we screamed excitedly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Diana led Wilson to see the birthday cake, which reminded him of his dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by our warmth and special gift, Wilson extended his thanks to us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Excuse me, is there a flower shop nearby?

Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting. New books sharing today. We've invited doctor casper melville lectur from the university of london. Doctor melvill started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called blues and soul. In nineteen ninety two, he moved to san Francesco and found IT, a jazz gazing named on the one with some friends. I did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in IT. In one hundred and ninety seven, he moved back to london and started teaching and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in london. He feels that the music in london clubs has formed him. But unfortunately, IT has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. This book is a london thing is meant to change that situation. So let's welcome doctor novel to share with us his ideas in the book. Hello, everybody. Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting, new books sharing.
