But just two months before they were going to leave, her husband died suddenly. Ann didn’t feel confident enough to go traveling on her own, but still felt like she wanted to see more of the world. “A friend had volunteered with an organization called Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) , a non-profit organization that sends teachers and others to some of the poorest countries,” says Ann. Ann signed up and went to Nepal in South Asia. Ann was asked to take part in a program that trained local Nepalese teachers. Ann lived in a town not far from the Annapurna Mountains. Her role would cover 12rural schools, the closest of which was an hour’s walk away, while the longest would take five hours on a bus with a three hour hike on the other side. Ann enjoyed the task, whose most important task was improving conditions for girls at school. Eighteen months into her time in Nepal, the country was affected by a powerful earthquake. Ann helped organize supplies. Besides, she also helped arrange a program to help the girls overcome the pain of experiencing an earthquake, working through their fears with art and music. After two years in Nepal, Ann returned home and the project had been a huge success. She is still in touch with many of the local VSO workers, many of whom call her foreigner mum. She has been awarded an Order of the British Empire for services to charity. 4. Why did Ann go to Nepal? A. To follow her husband’s dream. B. To escape from her hometown. C. To work as a mountain guide. D. To explore the world. 5. What was Ann’s primary responsibility in Nepal? A. Organizing earthquake supplies. B. Treating locals’ psychological problems. C. Training local Nepalese teachers. D. Building rural schools near mountains. 6. What can we infer about Ann’s work in Nepal? A. She focused on medical teams after the earthquake. B. It helped improve the girls’ education situation. C. She founded a new non- profit organization. D. It proved to be a mess. 7. What does the underlined word “whom” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The Nepalese girls at school. B. The local VSO workers. C. The trained teachers. D. The earthquake survivors. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述安在丈夫去世后参加海外志愿项目，赴尼泊尔支教并助力当地教育的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“she and her husband planned a trip of a lifetime as retirement approached(随着退休的日子越来越近，她和丈夫计划了一场毕生难忘的旅行)”以及第二段中的“Ann didn’t feel confident enough to go traveling on her own, but still felt like she wanted to see more of the world.(安没有足够的信心独自旅行，但仍然想看看更多的世界)”可知，安原本计划和丈夫旅行，丈夫去世后她仍想探索世界，于是选择参加志愿项目前往尼泊尔。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ann was asked to take part in a program that trained local Nepalese teachers.(安被邀请参加一个培训尼泊尔当地教师的项目)”可知，安在尼泊尔的首要职责是培训当地教师。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Ann enjoyed the task, whose most important task was improving conditions for girls at school.(安很喜欢这份工作，这份工作最重要的任务是改善女孩们的在校学习条件)”以及最后一段中的“After two years in Nepal, Ann returned home and the project had been a huge success.(在尼泊尔待了两年后，安回到了家，这个项目取得了巨大的成功)”可推知，安的工作改善了当地女孩的教育状况。故选B项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“She is still in touch with many of the local VSO workers, many of whom call her foreigner mum.(她仍然和许多当地的海外志愿服务组织工作人员保持着联系，他们中的许多人都称她为外国妈妈)”可知，先行词为“local VSO workers”，定语从句中“whom”指代的就是这些当地的海外志愿服务组织工作人员。故选B项。 C When humans search for food — whether by gathering, hunting or fishing — they rely not only on personal experience but also on information gained from observing others. A large-scale field study has explored how social information shapes such decisions, using ice-fishing competitions in Finland as a natural research setting. The study, published in Science, was conducted by an international research team that observed 74 experienced ice fishers during competitions in eastern Finland. Using GPS watches and wearable cameras, the researchers recorded more than 16,000 decisions across 477 fishing trips on ten lakes, tracking where the participants chose to fish and when they decided to move on. Based on these detailed movement and contextual data, the scientists developed computational models to uncover the decision-making strategies behind the fishers’ behavior. Their analysis showed that the participants combined three main sources of information: personal catch experience, the actions of other anglers (垂钓者), and ecological features such as the structure of the lakebed. The study found that success influenced how much people relied on social information. The fishers who caught fish tended to trust their own experience, while those who were unsuccessful paid closer attention to where others were fishing. After catching a fish, the participants often focused their search in nearby areas, a pattern known as “area-restricted search”, which became stronger in crowded locations. The decisions to leave a spot were relatively simple: Those who went a long time without a catch were more likely to move elsewhere. The differences also emerged across age and gender. Women relied more on social cues than men, while older participants tended to stay longer in one place and were less likely to avoid unproductive areas. In lakes with more fish, anglers changed locations more frequently. Beyond fishing, the study demonstrates the value of combining real-world data with the decision models to study human behavior outside laboratory settings. The researchers suggest that this approach could inform resource and conservation management, helping explain how hotspots form and how overuse, such as overfishing, might be prevented. 8. How did the researchers collect information about the ice fishers’ behavior? A. By reviewing reports published in Science. B. By interviewing 74 experienced participants. C. By recording the movements and actions using wearable devices. D. By observing the participants in controlled laboratory experiments. 9. When did the fishers rely more on social information according to the study? A. When the fishing areas were less crowded. B. When the ice fishing competitions reached the final. C. When they were confident in their own fishing skills. D. When they failed to achieve good results by themselves. 10. Why does the author mention age and gender in paragraph 5? A. To conduct a further analysis. B. To describe a detailed process. C. To propose a practical solution. D. To confirm a reasonable assumption. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the study? A. Its limitations. B. Its significance. C. Its scientific principles. D. Its sampling methods. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项关于人类在冰上捕鱼时如何结合个人经验与社会信息做决策的实地研究及其发现和意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Using GPS watches and wearable cameras, the researchers recorded more than 16,000 decisions across 477 fishing trips on ten lakes, tracking where the participants chose to fish and when they decided to move on.(研究人员使用GPS手表和可穿戴相机，在10个湖泊的477次捕鱼行程中记录了超过16000个决策，追踪参与者选择在哪里捕鱼以及何时决定离开。)”可知，研究人员通过可穿戴设备记录渔民的行动和行为来收集信息。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The fishers who caught fish tended to trust their own experience, while those who were unsuccessful paid closer attention to where others were fishing.(捕到鱼的渔民倾向于相信自己的经验，而那些没有成功的渔民则更关注其他人在哪里捕鱼。)”可知，当渔民自己没能取得好成果时，会更依赖社会信息。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The differences also emerged across age and gender. Women relied more on social cues than men, while older participants tended to stay longer in one place and were less likely to avoid unproductive areas.(年龄和性别方面也出现了差异。女性比男性更依赖社会线索，而年长的参与者往往在一个地方待得更久，也不太会避开无收获的区域。)”可知，作者提到年龄和性别是为了进行进一步的分析。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Beyond fishing, the study demonstrates the value of combining real-world data with the decision models to study human behavior outside laboratory settings. The researchers suggest that this approach could inform resource and conservation management, helping explain how hotspots form and how overuse, such as overfishing, might be prevented.(除了捕鱼之外，这项研究证明了将真实世界数据与决策模型相结合来研究实验室环境之外的人类行为的价值。研究人员表示，这种方法可以为资源和保护管理提供参考，有助于解释热点区域如何形成，以及如何防止过度捕捞等过度使用行为。)”可知，最后一段主要讲这项研究的意义。故选B项。 D The ongoing climate change is ready to have serious and lasting consequences for plants across the globe. A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change. The research is focused on popular leafy vegetables, including kale, rocket and spinach. For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms at Liverpool John Moores University, and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions. After the plants have been grown under climate change conditions, their nutritional quality was analyzed. Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds (抗氧化化合物). These changes were worsened by rising temperatures. A key early finding is that different crops have responded differently to these climate change stressors, with some species reacting more intensely than others. “This diversity in response highlights that we can’t generalize across crop species. This complexity has been both fascinating and challenging and reminds us why it’s important to study multiple stressors together,” says Jiata Ugwah Ekele, a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. This nutritional imbalance poses serious health implications for humanity. While higher CO2 levels can increase the concentration of sugars in crops, it can decrease essential proteins, minerals and antioxidants. “This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.” 12. What is the focus of the study? A. Future climate conditions in the UK. B. New types of leafy vegetables in the UK. C. The way to grow crops faster in greenhouses. D. Climate change and its impact on crop nutrition. 13. What was the condition of the crops grown for this research project? A. Thinner air. B. Controlled water. C. Higher CO2 level. D. Lower temperature. 14. How does Ms. Ekele sound in the last paragraph? A. Annoyed. B. Concerned. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bigger crops, fewer nutrients B. Faster growth, richer minerals C. Warmer climate, balanced crops D. Higher CO2, healthier vegetables 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍英国一项研究探讨气候变化下二氧化碳浓度和气温上升对作物营养成分的影响，及其带来的健康隐患。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change.(英国利物浦约翰摩尔斯大学开展的一项研究，主要聚焦于探索与气候变化相关的二氧化碳浓度上升和气温升高的共同作用，会如何影响粮食作物的营养成分)”可知，该研究的核心是气候变化及其对作物营养的影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms... and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions.(在该项目中，这些作物种植在环境可控的生长室中，二氧化碳和气温水平被调节至英国未来预测的气候状况)”以及第三段中的“Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger(该项目的初步结果表明，大气中二氧化碳浓度升高能促使作物长得更快、更大)”可知，研究中作物的生长环境具有较高的二氧化碳浓度。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.”(埃克莱女士表示：“这种营养平衡的改变，可能会导致人们的饮食热量更高、但营养价值却更低。”“农作物中糖分含量的增加 —— 尤其是果蔬类作物 —— 可能会提高重度肥胖和2型糖尿病的患病风险，对那些本就深受这些疾病困扰的人群来说，情况尤为严重。”)”可知，她的话语中充满了对作物营养变化给人类健康带来隐患的担忧。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段中“Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds. These changes were worsened by rising temperatures.(该项目的初步研究结果显示，大气中二氧化碳浓度的升高确实能促进作物生长得更快、植株更大，但这绝不意味着作物变得更健康。经过一段时间的生长后，这些作物体内的钙等关键矿物质以及某些抗氧化化合物的含量均出现了下降，而气温的持续升高则进一步加剧了这些变化)”可知，文章核心围绕气候变化（二氧化碳浓度升高、气温上升）展开，指出其虽能让作物长得更大更快，但会导致关键矿物质、抗氧化化合物等营养成分减少，形成“作物更大，营养更少”的现象。A项“更大的作物，更少的营养”能概括主旨，适合作为本文标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。 Our world faces a twofold challenge: feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation. Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution. ___16___ To put it precisely, it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting. This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability, making it a cornerstone of modern food systems. One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health. The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths. Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones. ___17___ They can apply fertilizer, water, or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields. ___18___ High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers, particularly in low-income regions. Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems. ___19___ Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion. Besides, collaborations between tech companies, universities, and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation. As climate change intensifies, PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns. Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth. ___20___ In a world where every decision matters, there’s no better time to embrace this revolution. A. PA is not without its challenges. B. It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach. C. To overcome these challenges, joint efforts are needed. D. Using the information, farmers can make focused decisions. E. It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming. F. By making data-dependent decisions, farmers can improve productivity. G. In essence, PA isn’t just about growing more; it’s about growing smarter. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. C 20.

John loved to wander through the forest nearby. In the center of the forest was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. On his wanderings, John would often see animals such as deer and rabbits as he listened to the birds singing in the trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he decided to become a great artist and present all of these breathtaking scenes to the world. John studied at the local high school. Life had not been easy for John and his mother since his father had died. His mother knew how important a good education was in life, but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “How will you earn money as an artist?” she would ask. “It’s not a stable job.” But as John got older, his passion for art became stronger. Due to their circumstances, buying new paint was a luxury that John could simply not afford. He used a worn drawing file and the limited colors he had to practice his craft. However, this lack of materials did not deter (使打消念头) him from his dream. He spent a significant amount of time in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinctive gift for art, he drew more and more beautifully with each passing day. One day, John learned that there was going to be a drawing competition in town, and that the deadline for submitting entries (参赛作品) was only two days away. This was the perfect opportunity to fulfill his dream and show off his skills, but as he read the rules, he realized that he needed special paints and brushes for the competition. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew she did not approve. That evening, his mother returned from work and handed him some money, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was more than enough for the materials he desired! John’s face lit up. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Early the next morning, John left home with the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, John received a phone call at home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: Early the next morning, John left home with the money. He rushed to a shop and bought the special paints and brushes needed for the competition. Excitement and determination filled his heart as he hurried back to his favorite spot in the forest. With each stroke of his brush, he poured his love for nature onto the canvas, hoping to create a masterpiece that would capture the beauty of the forest. Time slipped by at the tip of his brush. He eventually finished his painting in the afternoon. With a sense of pride and accomplishment, John carefully packed up his supplies and went into town to submit his entry. Paragraph 2: A week later, John received a phone call at home. The caller informed John that he had won the first prize worth $500 in the drawing competition. Tears of joy streamed down John’s face as he shared the news with his mother. At first, she was shocked, but then she smiled at him. “I should have believed in him more,” she thought. From then on, she encouraged John to pursue his passion for art. With his mother’s full support, John devoted himself entirely to his chosen field and became a very successful artist. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了热爱绘画的约翰因家境贫寒，无法购买画材，但凭借对艺术的热爱和坚持，在得知绘画比赛的消息后，用母亲给他的午餐钱购买了比赛所需的画材，最终赢得比赛并获得了母亲支持的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天一早，约翰带着钱离开了家”可知，第一段可描写约翰购买了比赛所需的画材，并完成了绘画作品，提交了参赛作品。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，约翰在家接到了一个电话”可知，第二段可描写约翰得知自己获得比赛一等奖，母亲也改变了态度，开始支持他追求艺术梦想。 2.续写线索：约翰带钱离开家——购买画材——完成绘画作品——提交参赛作品——接到获奖电话——母亲改变态度——支持约翰追求艺术梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①购买：buy/purchase ②完成：finish/complete ③提交：submit/hand in 情绪类： ①高兴：joy/happiness ②震惊的：shocked/stunned 【点睛】【高分句型1】With each stroke of his brush, he poured his love for nature onto the canvas, hoping to create a masterpiece that would capture the beauty of the forest.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】Tears of joy streamed down John’s face as he shared the news with his mother.(运用了as引导的状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高二年级下学期第一次模拟测试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。 听完每段录音后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1． What are the speakers going to do?

B Ann Mareer had worked in education for almost 40 years, so she and her husband planned a trip of a lifetime as retirement approached. But just two months before they were going to leave, her husband died suddenly. Ann didn’t feel confident enough to go traveling on her own, but still felt like she wanted to see more of the world. “A friend had volunteered with an organization called Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) , a non-profit organization that sends teachers and others to some of the poorest countries,” says Ann. Ann signed up and went to Nepal in South Asia. Ann was asked to take part in a program that trained local Nepalese teachers. Ann lived in a town not far from the Annapurna Mountains. Her role would cover 12rural schools, the closest of which was an hour’s walk away, while the longest would take five hours on a bus with a three hour hike on the other side. Ann enjoyed the task, whose most important task was improving conditions for girls at school. Eighteen months into her time in Nepal, the country was affected by a powerful earthquake. Ann helped organize supplies. Besides, she also helped arrange a program to help the girls overcome the pain of experiencing an earthquake, working through their fears with art and music. After two years in Nepal, Ann returned home and the project had been a huge success. She is still in touch with many of the local VSO workers, many of whom call her foreigner mum. She has been awarded an Order of the British Empire for services to charity. 4. Why did Ann go to Nepal? A. To follow her husband’s dream. B. To escape from her hometown. C. To work as a mountain guide. D. To explore the world. 5. What was Ann’s primary responsibility in Nepal? A. Organizing earthquake supplies. B. Treating locals’ psychological problems. C. Training local Nepalese teachers. D. Building rural schools near mountains. 6. What can we infer about Ann’s work in Nepal? A. She focused on medical teams after the earthquake. B. It helped improve the girls’ education situation. C. She founded a new non- profit organization. D. It proved to be a mess. 7. What does the underlined word “whom” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The Nepalese girls at school. B. The local VSO workers. C. The trained teachers. D. The earthquake survivors. C When humans search for food — whether by gathering, hunting or fishing — they rely not only on personal experience but also on information gained from observing others. A large-scale field study has explored how social information shapes such decisions, using ice-fishing competitions in Finland as a natural research setting. The study, published in Science, was conducted by an international research team that observed 74 experienced ice fishers during competitions in eastern Finland. Using GPS watches and wearable cameras, the researchers recorded more than 16,000 decisions across 477 fishing trips on ten lakes, tracking where the participants chose to fish and when they decided to move on. Based on these detailed movement and contextual data, the scientists developed computational models to uncover the decision-making strategies behind the fishers’ behavior. Their analysis showed that the participants combined three main sources of information: personal catch experience, the actions of other anglers (垂钓者), and ecological features such as the structure of the lakebed. The study found that success influenced how much people relied on social information. The fishers who caught fish tended to trust their own experience, while those who were unsuccessful paid closer attention to where others were fishing. After catching a fish, the participants often focused their search in nearby areas, a pattern known as “area-restricted search”, which became stronger in crowded locations. The decisions to leave a spot were relatively simple: Those who went a long time without a catch were more likely to move elsewhere. The differences also emerged across age and gender. Women relied more on social cues than men, while older participants tended to stay longer in one place and were less likely to avoid unproductive areas. In lakes with more fish, anglers changed locations more frequently. Beyond fishing, the study demonstrates the value of combining real-world data with the decision models to study human behavior outside laboratory settings. The researchers suggest that this approach could inform resource and conservation management, helping explain how hotspots form and how overuse, such as overfishing, might be prevented. 8. How did the researchers collect information about the ice fishers’ behavior? A. By reviewing reports published in Science. B. By interviewing 74 experienced participants. C. By recording the movements and actions using wearable devices. D. By observing the participants in controlled laboratory experiments. 9. When did the fishers rely more on social information according to the study? A. When the fishing areas were less crowded. B. When the ice fishing competitions reached the final. C. When they were confident in their own fishing skills. D. When they failed to achieve good results by themselves. 10. Why does the author mention age and gender in paragraph 5? A. To conduct a further analysis. B. To describe a detailed process. C. To propose a practical solution. D. To confirm a reasonable assumption. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the study? A. Its limitations. B. Its significance. C. Its scientific principles. D. Its sampling methods. D The ongoing climate change is ready to have serious and lasting consequences for plants across the globe. A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change. The research is focused on popular leafy vegetables, including kale, rocket and spinach. For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms at Liverpool John Moores University, and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions. After the plants have been grown under climate change conditions, their nutritional quality was analyzed. Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds (抗氧化化合物). These changes were worsened by rising temperatures. A key early finding is that different crops have responded differently to these climate change stressors, with some species reacting more intensely than others. “This diversity in response highlights that we can’t generalize across crop species. This complexity has been both fascinating and challenging and reminds us why it’s important to study multiple stressors together,” says Jiata Ugwah Ekele, a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. This nutritional imbalance poses serious health implications for humanity. While higher CO2 levels can increase the concentration of sugars in crops, it can decrease essential proteins, minerals and antioxidants. “This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.” 12. What is the focus of the study? A. Future climate conditions in the UK. B. New types of leafy vegetables in the UK. C. The way to grow crops faster in greenhouses. D. Climate change and its impact on crop nutrition. 13. What was the condition of the crops grown for this research project? A. Thinner air. B. Controlled water. C. Higher CO2 level. D. Lower temperature. 14. How does Ms. Ekele sound in the last paragraph? A. Annoyed. B. Concerned. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bigger crops, fewer nutrients B. Faster growth, richer minerals C. Warmer climate, balanced crops D. Higher CO2, healthier vegetables 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。 Our world faces a twofold challenge: feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation. Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution. ___16___ To put it precisely, it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting. This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability, making it a cornerstone of modern food systems. One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health. The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths. Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones. ___17___ They can apply fertilizer, water, or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields. ___18___ High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers, particularly in low-income regions. Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems. ___19___ Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion. Besides, collaborations between tech companies, universities, and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation. As climate change intensifies, PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns. Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth. ___20___ In a world where every decision matters, there’s no better time to embrace this revolution. A. PA is not without its challenges. B. It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach. C. To overcome these challenges, joint efforts are needed. D. Using the information, farmers can make focused decisions. E. It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming. F. By making data-dependent decisions, farmers can improve productivity. G. In essence, PA isn’t just about growing more; it’s about growing smarter. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In my family, Saturday mornings were for dim sum (点心). “If you want to eat it, you learn to ____21____ the menu,” my mom would say, handing me a yellow order sheet.

John loved to wander through the forest nearby. In the center of the forest was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. On his wanderings, John would often see animals such as deer and rabbits as he listened to the birds singing in the trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he decided to become a great artist and present all of these breathtaking scenes to the world. John studied at the local high school. Life had not been easy for John and his mother since his father had died. His mother knew how important a good education was in life, but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “How will you earn money as an artist?” she would ask. “It’s not a stable job.” But as John got older, his passion for art became stronger. Due to their circumstances, buying new paint was a luxury that John could simply not afford. He used a worn drawing file and the limited colors he had to practice his craft. However, this lack of materials did not deter (使打消念头) him from his dream. He spent a significant amount of time in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinctive gift for art, he drew more and more beautifully with each passing day. One day, John learned that there was going to be a drawing competition in town, and that the deadline for submitting entries (参赛作品) was only two days away. This was the perfect opportunity to fulfill his dream and show off his skills, but as he read the rules, he realized that he needed special paints and brushes for the competition. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew she did not approve. That evening, his mother returned from work and handed him some money, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was more than enough for the materials he desired! John’s face lit up. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Early the next morning, John left home with the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, John received a phone call at home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
