But there is so much more to Italy than just its international capital. Verona Made famous by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Verona is a charming city that is often overlooked by travelers. Its medieval (中世纪) structures and cobbled (铺有鹅卵石的) streets give travelers a genuine sense of Italian architecture. Accommodation in Verona is about 70% cheaper than in Rome, allowing budget travelers to enjoy exceptional food and fun nightlife scene. Florence Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region of the country, and it’s also the heart of Italy’s Renaissance-era (文艺复兴时代) art and culture. Florence offers incredible shopping and tons of artwork, plus it highlights delicious Tuscan cuisine. For travelers who want a taste of Italy’s rich culture without heading to an over-touristed city like Rome, Florence is the best choice. Milan The fashion capital of the world, Milan is a well-known city in Northern Italy. Located in the Lombardy region, Milan is famous for its high-end shops and Gothic (哥特式) architecture. One of the top sites to visit here is the Duomo di Milano, an amazing church that took six centuries to build. Pisa Travelers looking for a city with great food and historical architecture can head to Pisa. Located in central Italy, Pisa is most famous for the Leaning Tower of Pisa, whose construction began in 1173 and took more than 300 years to complete. 1. What is a feature of Verona? A. It offers high-class accommodation. B. It is popular for modern architecture. C. It is a budget-friendly travel destination. D. It is the heart of Italian art and literature. 2. What does the author suggest visitors do in Florence? A. Watch Shakespeare’s plays. B. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. C. Learn to cook Tuscan cuisine. D. Explore Renaissance-era culture. 3 What do Milan and Pisa share in common? A. They are attractive to sports lovers. B. They are known for high-end shops. C. They are in the same region of Italy. D. They house world-famous architectural landmarks. B Before planes, people traveled by boat. And getting goods from one place to another took a long time, especially when ships had to sail around continents. In the early 1600s, European trading companies were looking for faster routes to sail to Asia. In 1607 and 1608, British explorer Henry Hudson led two failed voyages to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia. He was searching for a route above the Arctic Circle, and his biggest problem was sailing around icebergs (冰山), which blocked his path. After failing twice, Hudson couldn’t get a British company to fund his next voyage. He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip. Hudson left Amsterdam on April 4, 1609 aboard a ship named the Half Moon. The crew headed southwest across the Atlantic Ocean to America. After several months, he arrived in the New York Harbor and sailed up a body of water that is now named the Hudson River. He thought the river might lead to the Pacific Ocean. But he was wrong, and he was forced to turn back to Europe. Hudson made one final attempt in 1610, on a new ship named Discovery. He sailed Discovery across the northern Atlantic and discovered a large body of water that became known as Hudson Bay. Unfortunately, the Hudson Bay did not lead to Asia. Furthermore, Hudson’s luck had run out. Winter weather hit the region and the crew suffered greatly from lack of food and supplies. Discovery had become trapped in thick ice. Hudson’s crew became angry. They wanted to return to Europe, but Hudson wanted to continue searching for a passage to Asia. When spring came, the crew revolted (反叛) and took control of the ship. They put Hudson, his son, and seven others on a small boat somewhere in the Hudson Bay. The crew sailed Discovery back to Europe and those who led the mutiny (叛乱) were severely punished. Henry Hudson was never seen again. 4 What was the purpose of Hudson’s voyages? A. To look for new land. B. To seek fame and fortune. C. To do scientific research. D. To find a shorter route to Asia. 5. What does the underlined word “back” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Arrange. B. Follow. C. Support. D. Value. 6. Where did Hudson arrive during his third voyage? A. Asia. B. The Hudson River. C. Hudson Bay. D. The Pacific Ocean. 7. What do we know about Henry Hudson from the text? A. He enjoyed his last days. B. His three voyages were funded by the British. C. He named a river after himself. D His sailing life finished with a sad ending. C Being more careful in which AI models we use for tasks could potentially save 31.9 terawatt-hours (太瓦时) of energy this year alone. Tiago da Silva Barros at the University of Cote d’Azur and his colleagues looked at 14 different tasks people use generative AI tools for, ranging from text generation to speech recognition. They studied public rankings showing how different models perform. They also measured how much energy the models use when they are running. “Based on the size of the model, we estimated its energy use, and then we used that data for further calculations,” da Silva Barros said. The research found that for all 14 tasks, switching from the best-performing model to the most energy-efficient model cut energy use by 65.8%, while the quality of the output dropped only 3.9%. The team was surprised by how much energy could be saved. However, Chris Preist at the University of Bristol said that getting users to choose the most efficient models “is unlikely to reduce overall energy growth, at least for now.” He explained, “Reducing energy per prompt (提示) will only allow more users to be served faster, and with more complex reasoning.” So da Silva Barros said both users and AI companies need to change. “We should think about using smaller models, even if we lose some performance,” he said. “And when companies develop models, it’s important that they share information about the model, so users can understand whether it uses a lot of energy or not.” Sasha Luccioni at Hugging Face pointed out that research like this still depends on outside estimates. “To do more detailed analyses, we need more data from AI companies,” she said. “That would help researchers and policymakers make better plans and decisions.” 8. What does the research mainly focus on? A. Behavior patterns of AI users. B. Energy efficiency of AI models. C. Estimation of AI performance. D. Methods of AI energy measurement. 9. What is Chris Preist’s major concern? A. The research results are unreliable. B. Users won’t adopt green AI models. C. Energy savings may not actually happen. D. Quicker AI responses will reduce service quality. 10. What needs to be done according to Tiago da Silva Barros and Sasha Luccioni? A. Slow down AI progress for now. B. Increase the use of smaller AI models. C. Develop more powerful AI models. D. Encourage openness from AI companies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Advances at a Great Cost B. Smarter AI Choices Save Energy C. AI Consumes Too Much Energy D. AI Future Remains Up in the Air D New research suggests that pandas may be at risk of extinction because they are too comfortable. Experts say too much happiness can stop the pandas from searching for new mates. Environmentalists have long believed that human activities like road or house construction threaten pandas by fragmenting (分裂) their natural habitats. But the new research suggests that a “modest degree of discomfort and fragmentation” may actually help preserve panda populations. The research, published in Conservation Biology, was conducted by scientists from Michigan State University. It concluded that pandas fail to wander off in search of new mates if they find their habitat too comfortable, resulting in a lack of vital genetic diversity. The ideal level of perfectly livable habitat was found to be only 80% of an area, with the remainder either too harsh or too affected by human activity. The experts concluded that pandas should ideally “be happy enough to thrive (蓬勃发展) but not so content that they don’t want to move around and find new mates”. This “sweet spot”, described by The Guardian, is in line with the Goldilocks principle: there can be just the right amount of something. Claudio Sillero, a professor of conservation biology at Oxford University, told the newspaper that the significance of this new discovery may extend beyond panda conservation. “Most large animals that eat meat live in increasingly fragmented landscapes”, said Sillero, who was not involved in the research. “It may well be that the messy nature of their relationship with human efforts makes more animals scatter or travel further, and might result in greater genetic connectivity and enhanced population persistence.” The latest count of pandas found that there were more than 1,800 left in the wild, putting them among vulnerable, but not endangered, species. 12. What do we learn from the new research about pandas? A. They are losing habitat due to the building of roads and houses. B. They have stopped seeking new mates for reproduction. C. They may not adapt to the fragmentation of their habitat. D. They may stop existing as a result of enjoying too good a life. 13. What can we conclude from Michigan State University’s new research? A. The previous belief regarding panda conservation may be incorrect. B. Housing development near pandas’ homes may threaten their survival. C. Pandas’ natural habitats are becoming less suitable for reproduction. D. The increased panda population is due to the fragmentation of their habitat. 14. What is the experts’ conclusion regarding pandas? A. It is urgent to provide an ideal habitat for them to thrive. B. It is very important to preserve their genetic diversity. C. Their chances of finding new mates have a lot to do with their habitat. D. Their environment for survival has been continuously worsening. 15. What can the new findings do according to Professor Sillero? A. Benefit pandas and help enlarge their population. B. Help remove pandas from the list of endangered species. C. Cast light on the conservation of most large meat-eating animals. D. Show the complexity of interactions between humans and animals. 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。 You don’t need to be an astronomer with a giant telescope to enjoy a simple but spellbinding activity: stargazing. ___16___ It’s so interesting to discover what’s going on. With a bit of practice, and know-how from books and websites, stargazers can spot particular stars and also groups of stars. There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look. For the best results, choose a clear night when the moon is not very bright. ___17___ It can be harder to see the stars in towns and cities. It is because of light pollution. The night sky is brightened by light from street lamps, shops and car headlights. The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. ___18___ It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies.

Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off. ___19___ That is camping in a national park under a star-filled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures. When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world comes alive at night and is waiting to be explored. ___20___ A. Get prepared for the wonder above. B. Just go outside at night and look up. C. You are supposed to avoid the full moon. D. It also matters which direction you observe. E.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 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。 “Sure!

Henry Hudson was never seen again. 4. What was the purpose of Hudson’s voyages? A. To look for new land. B. To seek fame and fortune. C. To do scientific research. D. To find a shorter route to Asia. 5. What does the underlined word “back” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Arrange. B. Follow. C. Support. D. Value. 6. Where did Hudson arrive during his third voyage? A. Asia. B. The Hudson River. C. Hudson Bay. D. The Pacific Ocean. 7. What do we know about Henry Hudson from the text? A. He enjoyed his last days. B. His three voyages were funded by the British. C He named a river after himself. D. His sailing life finished with a sad ending. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了英国探险家Henry Hudson为了找一条通往亚洲的更便捷的航线而进行的四次海上航行。 【4题详解】 细节细节题。根据第一段最后一句“In the early 1600s, European trading companies were looking for faster routes to sail to Asia.(在17世纪早期，欧洲贸易公司正在寻找通往亚洲的更快路线。)”和第二段第一句“In 1607 and 1608, British explorer Henry Hudson led two failed voyages to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia.(1607年和1608年，英国探险家Henry Hudson领导了两次失败的航行，试图找到一条穿越北冰洋到亚洲的东北通道。)”可知，Hudson的目的是找到一条通往亚洲的更便捷的航线。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“After failing twice, Hudson couldn’t get a British company to fund his next voyage. He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip.(两次失败后，Hudson找不到一家英国公司资助他的下一次航行。他不得不说服荷兰东印度公司back他的第三次航行。)”可知，两次航行失败后，没有英国公司再出资支持Hudson的下一次航行，他不得不去说服荷兰东印度公司资助他的第三次航行，back在句中与fund意义接近，意为“资助”，与support同义。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip.(他不得不说服荷兰东印度公司资助他的第三次航行。)”、第三段中的“Hudson left Amsterdam on April 4, 1609 aboard a ship named the Half Moon.(1609年4月4日，Hudson乘坐一艘名为‘半月号’的船离开阿姆斯特丹。)”以及“After several months, he arrived in the New York Harbor and sailed up a body of water that is now named the Hudson River.(几个月后，他抵达了纽约港，并沿着一条如今被称为哈德逊河的水域航行前行。)”可知，哈德逊第三次航海到达了如今的哈德逊河（Hudson River）。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hudson made one final attempt in 1610, on a new ship named Discovery.(1610 年，Hudson进行了最后一次尝试，乘坐的是一艘名为‘发现号’的新船。)”以及“Discovery had become trapped in thick ice. Hudson’s crew became angry. They wanted to return to Europe, but Hudson wanted to continue searching for a passage to Asia. When spring came, the crew revolted (反叛) and took control of the ship. They put Hudson, his son, and seven others on a small boat somewhere in the Hudson Bay. The crew sailed Discovery back to Europe and those who led the mutiny (叛乱) were severely punished. Henry Hudson was never seen again.(‘发现号'被困在厚厚的冰层中。Hudson的船员很生气。他们想回到欧洲，但Hudson想继续寻找通往亚洲的通道。春天来了，船员们造反并控制了这艘船。他们把Hudson、他的儿子和其他七个人放在哈德逊湾某处的一条小船上。船员们驾驶发现号返回欧洲，那些领导哗变的人受到了严厉的惩罚。Henry Hudson再也没有出现过。)”可知，Hudson最后一次航海遭遇了船员叛乱，结果他和他的儿子以及另外七个人被抛弃在了哈德逊湾，自此之后便再没有人见过Hudson。由此可知，Henry Hudson的航海生涯最终以悲剧结束。故选D。 C Being more careful in which AI models we use for tasks could potentially save 31.9 terawatt-hours (太瓦时) of energy this year alone. Tiago da Silva Barros at the University of Cote d’Azur and his colleagues looked at 14 different tasks people use generative AI tools for, ranging from text generation to speech recognition. They studied public rankings showing how different models perform. They also measured how much energy the models use when they are running. “Based on the size of the model, we estimated its energy use, and then we used that data for further calculations,” da Silva Barros said. The research found that for all 14 tasks, switching from the best-performing model to the most energy-efficient model cut energy use by 65.8%, while the quality of the output dropped only 3.9%. The team was surprised by how much energy could be saved. However, Chris Preist at the University of Bristol said that getting users to choose the most efficient models “is unlikely to reduce overall energy growth, at least for now.” He explained, “Reducing energy per prompt (提示) will only allow more users to be served faster, and with more complex reasoning.” So da Silva Barros said both users and AI companies need to change. “We should think about using smaller models, even if we lose some performance,” he said. “And when companies develop models, it’s important that they share information about the model, so users can understand whether it uses a lot of energy or not.” Sasha Luccioni at Hugging Face pointed out that research like this still depends on outside estimates. “To do more detailed analyses, we need more data from AI companies,” she said. “That would help researchers and policymakers make better plans and decisions.” 8. What does the research mainly focus on? A. Behavior patterns of AI users. B. Energy efficiency of AI models. C. Estimation of AI performance. D. Methods of AI energy measurement. 9. What is Chris Preist’s major concern? A. The research results are unreliable. B. Users won’t adopt green AI models. C. Energy savings may not actually happen. D. Quicker AI responses will reduce service quality. 10. What needs to be done according to Tiago da Silva Barros and Sasha Luccioni? A. Slow down AI progress for now. B. Increase the use of smaller AI models. C. Develop more powerful AI models. D. Encourage openness from AI companies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Advances at a Great Cost B. Smarter AI Choices Save Energy C. AI Consumes Too Much Energy D. AI Future Remains Up in the Air 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项研究指出合理选择能效更高的AI模型可大幅节约能源，同时专家提出用户与AI公司应做出改变、公司需公开更多相关数据以实现更好的节能与决策。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They studied public rankings showing how different models perform. They also measured how much energy the models use when they are running.”(他们研究了显示不同模型表现情况的公开排名，还测量了模型运行时消耗多少能源。)”以及第三段中的“The research found that for all 14 tasks, switching from the best-performing model to the most energy-efficient model cut energy use by 65.8%, while the quality of the output dropped only 3.9%.(研究发现，在所有14项任务中，从性能最好的模型切换到最节能的模式，能耗降低了65.8%，而产出的质量仅下降了3.9%。)”可知，该研究比较了不同AI模型在完成相同任务时的能量消耗，并指出更换为高效模型可减少65.8%的能耗，因此，该研究主要关注AI模型的能效。故选B。 【9题详解】  细节理解题。根据第四段“However, Chris Preist at the University of Bristol said that getting users to choose the most efficient models “is unlikely to reduce overall energy growth, at least for now.” He explained, “Reducing energy per prompt ( 提示) will only allow more users to be served faster, and with more complex reasoning.(然而，布里斯托尔大学（University of Bristol）的克里斯・普里斯特（Chris Preist）表示，让用户选择最高效的模型‘至少在目前不太可能减少整体能源消耗的增长’。他解释道：‘降低每个提示的能耗，只会让更多用户获得更快的服务，并进行更复杂的逻辑推理。’)”可知，Chris Preist担心，如果只减少每次提示的能耗，可能会让AI公司以更低成本服务更多用户、提供更复杂的推理，从而导致总能耗不降反升，即Chris Preist担心实际的能源节省可能不会发生。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“So da Silva Barros said both users and AI companies need to change. “We should think about using smaller models, even if we lose some performance,” he said. “And when companies develop models, it’s important that they share information about the model, so users can understand whether it uses a lot of energy or not.”(因此，达・席尔瓦・巴罗斯（da Silva Barros）表示，用户和人工智能公司都需要做出改变。‘我们应该考虑使用更小的模型，即便这会损失一些性能，’ 他说，‘而且企业在开发模型时，公开模型相关信息十分重要，这样用户就能了解它是否高耗能。’)”以及第六段“Sasha Luccioni at Hugging Face pointed out that research like this still depends on outside estimates. “To do more detailed analyses, we need more data from AI companies,” she said. “That would help researchers and policymakers make better plans and decisions.”(Hugging Face公司的萨莎・卢乔尼（Sasha Luccioni）指出，这类研究目前仍依赖外部估算。‘要开展更细致的分析，我们需要人工智能公司提供更多数据，’她说，‘这将帮助研究人员和政策制定者制定更完善的方案与决策。’)”可知，Tiago da Silva Barros强调公司应提供模型能耗信息，Sasha Luccioni则指出需要更多来自AI公司的数据支持研究。因此，根据Tiago da Silva Barros和Sasha Luccioni的说法，应鼓励AI公司提高信息透明度，公开更多数据。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇“Being more careful in which AI models we use for tasks could potentially save 31.9 terawatt-hours (太瓦时) of energy this year alone.(仅在今年，更加谨慎地选择我们用于各项任务的AI模型，就有可能节省31.9太瓦时的能源。)”指出根据任务更谨慎地选择AI模型可节省大量能源，接着通过研究数据证实节能效果明显，最后讨论了实现这一目标需要用户和公司共同努力，全文围绕更明智地选择AI模型有助于节能这一核心观点展开。B选项“Smarter AI Choices Save Energy(更明智的AI选择实现节能)”能够概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选B。 D New research suggests that pandas may be at risk of extinction because they are too comfortable. Experts say too much happiness can stop the pandas from searching for new mates. Environmentalists have long believed that human activities like road or house construction threaten pandas by fragmenting (分裂) their natural habitats. But the new research suggests that a “modest degree of discomfort and fragmentation” may actually help preserve panda populations. The research, published in Conservation Biology, was conducted by scientists from Michigan State University. It concluded that pandas fail to wander off in search of new mates if they find their habitat too comfortable, resulting in a lack of vital genetic diversity. The ideal level of perfectly livable habitat was found to be only 80% of an area, with the remainder either too harsh or too affected by human activity. The experts concluded that pandas should ideally “be happy enough to thrive (蓬勃发展), but not so content that they don’t want to move around and find new mates”. This “sweet spot”, described by The Guardian, is in line with the Goldilocks principle: there can be just the right amount of something. Claudio Sillero, a professor of conservation biology at Oxford University, told the newspaper that the significance of this new discovery may extend beyond panda conservation. “Most large animals that eat meat live in increasingly fragmented landscapes”, said Sillero, who was not involved in the research. “It may well be that the messy nature of their relationship with human efforts makes more animals scatter or travel further, and might result in greater genetic connectivity and enhanced population persistence.” The latest count of pandas found that there were more than 1,800 left in the wild, putting them among vulnerable, but not endangered, species. 12. What do we learn from the new research about pandas? A. They are losing habitat due to the building of roads and houses. B. They have stopped seeking new mates for reproduction. C. They may not adapt to the fragmentation of their habitat. D. They may stop existing as a result of enjoying too good a life. 13. What can we conclude from Michigan State University’s new research? A. The previous belief regarding panda conservation may be incorrect. B. Housing development near pandas’ homes may threaten their survival. C. Pandas’ natural habitats are becoming less suitable for reproduction. D. The increased panda population is due to the fragmentation of their habitat. 14. What is the experts’ conclusion regarding pandas? A. It is urgent to provide an ideal habitat for them to thrive. B. It is very important to preserve their genetic diversity. C. Their chances of finding new mates have a lot to do with their habitat. D. Their environment for survival has been continuously worsening. 15. What can the new findings do according to Professor Sillero? A. Benefit pandas and help enlarge their population. B. Help remove pandas from the list of endangered species. C. Cast light on the conservation of most large meat-eating animals. D. Show the complexity of interactions between humans and animals. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出了新研究发现表明熊猫栖息地过于舒适会降低其迁徙和寻找配偶的意愿，威胁基因多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“New research suggests that pandas may be at risk of extinction because they are too comfortable.(新研究表明，熊猫可能因为太过安逸而面临灭绝风险。)”以及第二段“Environmentalists have long believed that human activities like road or house construction threaten pandas by fragmenting (分裂) their natural habitats. But the new research suggests that a “modest degree of discomfort and fragmentation” may actually help preserve panda populations.(环保主义者长期以来一直认为，人类活动，如道路或房屋建设，会破坏大熊猫的自然栖息地，从而威胁到它们。但这项新的研究表明，‘适度的不适和碎片化’实际上可能有助于保护大熊猫种群。)”可知，从这项关于大熊猫的新研究可以得知，熊猫生活得太好反而可能导致灭绝。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Environmentalists have long believed that human activities like road or house construction threaten pandas by fragmenting (分裂) their natural habitats. But the new research suggests that a “modest degree of discomfort and fragmentation” may actually help preserve panda populations.(环保主义者长期以来一直认为，人类活动，如道路或房屋建设，会破坏大熊猫的自然栖息地，从而威胁到它们。但这项新的研究表明，‘适度的不适和碎片化’实际上可能有助于保护大熊猫种群。)”可知，新研究对之前的传统观念提出了挑战，说明之前关于保护大熊猫的那些看法可能并不正确。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The experts concluded that pandas should ideally ‘be happy enough to thrive, but not so content that they don’t want to move around and find new mates’.(专家总结说，理想情况下，熊猫应该‘快乐到能够繁衍，但又不能太满足以至于不想四处走动寻找新伴侣’。)”以及第三段中的“It concluded that pandas fail to wander off in search of new mates if they find their habitat too comfortable, resulting in a lack of vital genetic diversity. (研究得出结论：如果大熊猫的栖息地过于舒适，它们就不会外出寻找新的配偶，这会导致重要的基因多样性缺失。)”可知，研究得出结论：若熊猫发现栖息地过于舒适，它们就不会迁徙寻找新配偶，从而导致关键的遗传多样性缺失。这说明专家认为熊猫寻找新配偶的机会与栖息地舒适度密切相关。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But the new research suggests that a “modest degree of discomfort and fragmentation” may actually help preserve panda populations.(但新的研究表明，“适度的不适和碎片化”实际上可能有助于保护大熊猫种群。)”、第四段中的“Claudio Sillero, a professor of conservation biology at Oxford University, told the newspaper that the significance of this new discovery may extend beyond panda conservation.(牛津大学的保护生物学教授克劳迪奥·西勒罗（Claudio Sillero）在接受该报采访时表示，这一新发现的重要意义可能不仅限于大熊猫的保护工作。)”以及第五段中““Most large animals that eat meat live in increasingly fragmented landscapes”, said Sillero, who was not involved in the research. “It may well be that the messy nature of their relationship with human efforts makes more animals scatter or travel further, and might result in greater genetic connectivity and enhanced population persistence.”(“大多数以肉食为食的大型动物都生活在日益破碎化的环境中。”没有参与这项研究的Sillero说：“或许正是由于它们与人类活动关系的复杂性，使得更多动物四处分散或迁徙更远，从而可能带来更强的基因交流以及更稳固的种群存续。”)”可知，Claudio Sillero认为这项新发现的影响范围不止在熊猫保护领域，这一发现能为生活在日益破碎化的环境中的大多数大型食肉动物的保护提供启示。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。 You don’t need to be an astronomer with a giant telescope to enjoy a simple but spellbinding activity: stargazing. ___16___ It’s so interesting to discover what’s going on. With a bit of practice, and know-how from books and websites, stargazers can spot particular stars and also groups of stars. There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look.

Creating##To create 44. an 45. lies 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要阐述了在巨大的学业压力下，牺牲健康并不能带来成功，只有保持健康的生活习惯与努力学习之间的平衡，才能真正取得学业上的卓越成就。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在这样一个竞争激烈的环境中，我们很多人往往会牺牲睡眠、饮食或者锻炼时间，认为只有不断努力学习才是取得成功的唯一途径。空格前为不定冠词“a”，后为名词“environment”，因此需要填入形容词作定语。动词“compete”的形容词形式“competitive”“竞争激烈的”符合语境。故填competitive。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在这样一个竞争激烈的环境中，我们很多人往往会牺牲睡眠、饮食或者锻炼时间，认为只有不断努力学习才是取得成功的唯一途径。主语“many of us”与动词“believe”之间是逻辑上的主动关系，且该动作与谓语“tend to sacrifice”同时发生，因此用现在分词“believing”作伴随状语。故填believing。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，这种方法常常适得其反。前句提到“许多同学认为一直学习是成功的唯一途径，牺牲睡眠、饮食或者锻炼时间去学习”，后句说“这种方法常常适得其反”，上下文之间为转折关系，且空格后有逗号，故用副词however构成转折，置于句首，首字母大写。故填However。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：规律的体育锻炼能改善脑部供血，这有助于增强记忆力和注意力。此空引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句，在从句中作主语，此从句用关系代词“which”引导。故填which。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：均衡的饮食能为我们长时间的学习提供所需的能量，而充足的睡眠则有助于巩固我们所学的知识。已有谓语动词provides，动词“need”与名词“energy”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，表示“所需的能量”，用过去分词“needed”作后置定语。故填needed。 【41题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：均衡的饮食能为我们长时间的学习提供所需的能量，而充足的睡眠则有助于巩固我们所学的知识。此空引导名词性从句作动词“consolidate”宾语，此空在宾语从句中作 learned宾语，表示“我们所学的内容”，指物，此从句用连接代词“what”引导。故填what。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：如果没有这些基本条件，即使再勤奋努力，也只会让人精疲力竭，而非取得成就。“rather than”连接平行结构，“exhaustion”为名词，此空填动词achieve”的名词形式“achievement”，意为“成就”，在句中表抽象概念，为不可数名词。故填achievement。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：制定一个包括学习、短暂休息以及锻炼时间的合理计划，能够帮助你保持高效工作状态，同时避免身心透支。空格处为主语位置，需用动词create的不定式或动名词形式作主语，表示“制定一个合理的计划”这一行为，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Creating/To create。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：请记住，照顾好自己的身体并非是在浪费时间——这实际上是在为你的学业成功进行投资。此处指“照顾好自己的身体是一项投资”，“investment”在句中为可数名词单数，表泛指，且“investment”以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词“an”。故填an。 【45题详解】 考查主谓一致与动词时态。句意：真正的优秀不在于无休止地学习，而在于在勤奋努力与自我关爱之间找到平衡。lie in“在于”在句中作谓语动词，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语“True excellence”为不可数名词，谓语用第三人称单数形式“lies”。故填lies。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 满分（15分） 46. 假设你是李华，某国际旅游网站正举办“最佳亲子旅游目的地”征集活动。请你用英语给该网站编辑写一封推荐信，推荐一个你心目中的最佳亲子旅游地点。内容包括： 1.推荐地点； 2.推荐理由。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Editor, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Editor, Learning that you are looking for a parent-child travel destination, I’m writing to recommend Sanya as my top choice.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 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。 “Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ May got a new idea and she decided o have a talk with Mrs. Miller. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. Olivia’s face lit up with excitement. “That would be awesome!” she replied. The two girls started chatting animatedly about all the craft ideas they had, like making friendship bracelets and paper lanterns. As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day. When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts. May got a new idea and she decided to have a talk with Mrs. Miller. After lunch, she made her way to Room 301 in Teaching Building B. She walked in nervously but when she saw Mrs. Miller’s warm smile, her courage grew. May explained her love for crafts and how she hoped to start a craft club. Mrs. Miller was delighted and said it was a wonderful idea. With Mrs. Miller’s support, May couldn't wait to tell Olivia and start their very own craft club, looking forward to making more friends who shared their passion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了刚从中国搬到新国家的May，在新学校第一天因手工中国龙“龙龙”丢失而焦虑，后被Olivia归还并结为好友，最终在Olivia的影响和Miller老师的支持下，决定创办手工俱乐部，逐渐适应新的学校生活的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““当然可以！放学后要不要在这里见？”May问道。”以及第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第一段可描写May和Olivia相谈甚欢，她突然有了个想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第二段可描写May突然想到可以建议Miller老师创办一个手工俱乐部，而Miller也觉得这个想法很棒。 2.续写线索：May提出和Olivia放学后见面——两人见面后兴致勃勃聊起了手工——而两人的交谈也给了May一个新的想法——于是，May决定和Miller老师谈谈，她建议Miller老师可以创办一个手工俱乐部——老师觉得这个主意不错——有了老师的支持，May迫不及待想和Olivia分享这个消息——May也对新的学校生活充满了期待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①全神贯注于：be engrossed in/be lost in ②与某人谈话：have a talk with sb/ talk with sb ③前往、去某处：make one's way to/head for 情绪类 ①绝妙的：awesome/splendid/wonderful ②高兴的：delighted/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和省略关系代词that/which的定语从句修饰先行词a sense of ease） 【高分句型2】When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
