But not all online or homeschool programmes are set up to accommodate science experiments or other STEM learning activities. Let’s take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for your child’s online school experience. Weather Laboratories To make learning about weather accessible and fun, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created a lot of informative weather activities and virtual labs they recommend for students and educators. In fact, their weather science content for kids features a Weather Lab application that allows middle school students to predict weather patterns, and learn what happens when ocean currents and air masses interact. Simulations for Science and Math It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs. Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics. Available in dozens of languages, the interactives are searchable by grade level, subject, and accessibility. Space Exploration Simulations The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) features many STEM learning activities for students in grades K-12. The interactive simulations are also gamified and make learning engaging and fun for your child. The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science. Space Chemistry Workshop How do different substances react in special space conditions? Space Chemistry Workshop is the best place to observe how metals rust under space- like radiation. It is fun! The chemical principles come alive in Space Chemistry Workshop! 1. Who is the text intended for? A. Parents. B. Students. C. Teachers. D. Researchers. 2. What makes Simulations for Science and Math different from the other labs? A. It covers the most subjects. B. It allows users to interact online. C. It offers gamified learning experiences. D. It provides multiple tools for searching. 3. Which lab allows visitors to learn about space scientists? A. Weather Laboratories. B. Space Chemistry Workshop. C. Space Exploration Simulations. D. Simulations for Science and Math. 【答案】1. A 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四款适合线上学习的STEM虚拟实验室，帮助孩子生动学习科学、数学、天文等知识。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Let’s take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for your child’s online school experience. (让我们来看看一些令人惊叹的实验室，它们可以帮助让STEM主题在你孩子的线上学习中变得生动有趣)”可知，本文的目标读者是家长。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Simulations for Science and Math部分“It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs. Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics. (这是科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的一个项目，也是最丰富的在线科学互动和虚拟实验室数据库之一。调查150多个物理、化学、数学、生物学和地球科学主题)”可知，使科学和数学模拟实验室不同的是它涵盖了最多的主题。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Space Exploration Simulations部分“The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science. (该应用程序允许用户探索宇宙，并了解开拓性科学家的故事及其对太空探索和科学的贡献)”可知，太空探索模拟实验室可以让参观者了解太空科学家。故选C项。 B The moment Daniel Swain wakes up, he gets whipped about (猛烈吹袭) by hurricane-force winds. “A Category 5, literally overnight, hits Acapulco,” says the 34-year-old climate scientist and self-described weather enthusiast, who is hit daily by the flood of catastrophic weather headlines: wildfires, megafloods, haboobs (an intense dust storm) , atmospheric rivers, bomb cyclones. Everyone’s asking: Did climate change cause these disasters? And, more and more, they want Swain to answer. Swain is at the same time 1,600 miles away from the hurricane and at the eye of storm. His ability to explain science to the masses has made him one of the media’s go-to climate experts. He’s a staff research scientist at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability who spends more than 1,100 hours each year on public-facing climate and weather communication, explaining whether (often, yes) and how climate change is raising the number and intensifying the fierceness of weather disasters. “Climate change is an increasingly big part of what’s driving weather extremes today,” Swain says. “I connect the dots between the two. There’s a lot of misunderstanding about how a warming climate affects day-to-day variations in weather, but my goal is to push public perception toward what the science actually says.” So, when reporters call him, he does his best to call them back. “Daniel had a very clear vision about how he wanted to contribute to science and the world, using social media and his website,” says Kareiva, a research professor at UCLA. “We will not solve climate change without a movement, and communication and social media are key to that. Most science papers are never even read. What we do as scientists only matters if it has an impact on the world. We need at least 100 more Daniels.” As global warming continues to worsen, it’s easy to get pulled into overly dramatic ways of looking at where the world is going amid catastrophic weather headlines. Daniel Swain helps people know how we can better face those fears with the use of scientific accuracy, which makes his role incredibly valuable. 4. Why do people want Daniel Swain to answer their disaster-related questions? A. He makes specialised knowledge accessible. B. He is widely recognised by the public and the media. C. He is an expert in environmental sustainability research. D. He works at the eye of storm with first-hand information. 5. What can we learn from Kareiva’s words? A. Climate change is widely misunderstood. B. The public should value scientific work more. C. Scientists should engage the public like Swain. D. Social media has a direct impact on climate change. 6. How can Daniel Swain be described? A. Helpful and optimistic. B. Easy-going and humorous. C. Responsible and serious. D. Purposeful and knowledgeable. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. The Weather Man: Approaching Fear with Science B. A Valuable Job: Connecting Science with Social Media C. An Inspiring Figure: Confronting Climate Change Bravely D. A Distinctive Scientist: Interpreting Climate from a Unique Perspective 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气候科学家Daniel Swain向公众科普气候变化与极端天气的关系及其重要价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“His ability to explain science to the masses has made him one of the media’s go-to climate experts.(他向大众科普科学知识的能力，让他成为媒体首选的气候专家之一。)”可知，他能向大众解释科学知识，让专业知识变得易懂。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容““Daniel had a very clear vision about how he wanted to contribute to science and the world, using social media and his website,” says Kareiva, a research professor at UCLA. “We will not solve climate change without a movement, and communication and social media are key to that. Most science papers are never even read. What we do as scientists only matters if it has an impact on the world. We need at least 100 more Daniels.”(“Daniel对于如何利用社交媒体和个人网站为科学和世界做出贡献，有着非常清晰的想法。”加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究教授Kareiva说，“没有一场广泛的社会运动，我们就无法解决气候变化问题，而沟通和社交媒体是关键。大多数科研论文甚至从未被人阅读过。我们科学家所做的工作，只有对世界产生影响才有意义。我们至少还需要100个像Daniel这样的人。”)”可知，Kareiva认为科学家应该像Swain一样向公众科普、与公众互动。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“His ability to explain science to the masses has made him one of the media’s go-to climate experts.(他向大众科普科学知识的能力，让他成为媒体首选的气候专家之一。)”可知，他知识渊博，专业能力强；再根据第三段他所说的话“There’s a lot of misunderstanding about how a warming climate affects day-to-day variations in weather, but my goal is to push public perception toward what the science actually says.(很多人对气候变暖如何影响日常天气变化存在误解，但我的目标是让公众的认知贴近科学事实。)”可知，他做科普的目标明确。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Daniel Swain helps people know how we can better face those fears with the use of scientific accuracy, which makes his role incredibly valuable.(Daniel Swain帮助人们学会如何用科学事实更好地面对这些恐惧，这让他的角色变得极具价值。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了气候科学家Daniel Swain通过向大众解释科学知识，帮助人们用科学准确性的方式面对灾难带来的恐惧，A选项“气象使者：用科学直面恐惧”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 C Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising executive who ran a fast-food chain account, and yet dreamed of being a novelist instead. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see the adman on TV, holding up his new book. He has since published more than 100 New York Times best sellers and co-authored books with the likes of Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton. Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”. It describes how people envision their futures: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear becoming. The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on self-concept and self-perception. While self-concepts — “I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent” — are rooted in the present, the researchers found that people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change. These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation. A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice. A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker. In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive (feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. And researchers have found that constructing positive possible selves can improve well-being and relieve symptoms of depression by holding out the potential for a better future. A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often fleeting and not necessarily grounded in reality. It can take shape “if you build a bridge from your ‘now’ self to the possible self,” Dr. Markus said. But how do we construct that bridge? 8. Why is James Patterson mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story. B. To inspire the readers. C. To reveal the topic. D. To introduce the figure. 9. Which of the following is an example of one’s “possible selves”? A. I am a diligent student. B. I want to travel abroad. C. I could have become a dentist. D. I worry about being lonely. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Those who fear failure may end up being a loser. B. Knowing what can be achieved benefits mental health. C. A clear ambition guarantees one’s success in the future. D. A positive possible self is more motivating than a negative one. 11. What might be mentioned in the following paragraph? A. How to create more possibilities. B. How to realise one’s potential. C. How to build spiritual connections. D. How to cultivate self-awareness. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍可能自我的概念、作用及如何实现。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising executive who ran a fast-food chain account, and yet dreamed of being a novelist instead. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see the adman on TV, holding up his new book. He has since published more than 100 New York Times best sellers and co-authored books with the likes of Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton.(多年前，我还是一名年轻的商业记者时，采访过James Patterson。他当时是一名广告主管，负责一家快餐连锁品牌的业务，却梦想着成为一名小说家。 我记得当时心里还在想：是啊，你和其他人都这么想。 然而大约十年后，我惊讶地在电视上看到这位广告人，手里举着他的新书。从那以后，他出版了100多本登上《纽约时报》畅销书榜的作品，还与Bill Clinton、Dolly Parton等名人合著过书)”可知，作者讲述James Patterson从广告人成为畅销作家的例子，结合第二段“Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”.(Patterson先生将自己视为作家的这种能力，阐释了一个被称为“可能自我”的概念)”可知，第一段提到James Patterson是为了揭示文章主题。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It describes how people envision their futures: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear becoming.(它描述了人们如何设想自己的未来：他们可能成为什么样的人、想要成为什么样的人，甚至是害怕成为什么样的人)”可知，选项D“我担心会孤独”符合“可能的自我”中“害怕成为什么”这一描述。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And researchers have found that constructing positive possible selves can improve well-being and relieve symptoms of depression by holding out the potential for a better future.(研究人员发现，构建积极的可能自我，能够通过展现美好未来的可能性，提升幸福感并缓解抑郁症状)”可知，知道自己可以实现什么对心理健康有益。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often fleeting and not necessarily grounded in reality. It can take shape “if you build a bridge from your ‘now’ self to the possible self,” Dr. Markus said. But how do we construct that bridge?(“可能自我”能让你超越空想——那些空想往往转瞬即逝，且不一定扎根现实。马库斯博士说：如果你在“当下的自己”和“可能的自我”之间架起一座桥梁，它就能成形。但我们该如何搭建这座桥梁呢？)”可知，下文会讲如何构建从现在的自我到可能的自我之间的桥梁，即如何实现自己的潜能。故选B。 D However much we learn from things going wrong, we will never become the best decision- makers. This finding comes from a mathematical game that simulates (模拟) a large economy, and suggests we may need to rethink assumptions built into economic theories. In such theories, people are typically represented as reasonable agents who learn from past experiences to enhance their performance, eventually reaching a stable state in which they know how to maximise their earnings. To test whether economists are correct in assuming that learning from the past experience enables individuals to avoid chaos, Garnier- Brun and his colleagues developed a mathematical model for a game featuring hundreds of simulated players, each capable of choosing between two actions — such as buying or selling a stock — and interacting with one another over multiple rounds, so each player’s decisions were influenced by their previous experiences, meaning they could learn from them. In different game scenarios (设想) , the researchers expected that the game would always result in chaos, with players unable to learn how to optimise their performance. Economic theory would suggest that, given the right set of parameters (参数) , the players would settle into a stable state where they had mastered the game — but the researchers found this wasn’t really the case. The most likely outcome was a state that never settled. Team member Jean- Philippe Bouchaud says that, in the absence of one centralised, all-powerful player who could coordinate everyone, regular players could only learn how to reach “satisficing” states. That is a level that satisfied minimum expectations but not much more. Players gained more than they would have done by playing at random, so learning wasn’t useless, but they still gained less than they would have if past experience had allowed them to truly optimise their performance. Bouchaud says the game model is too simple to be immediately adopted for making real- world predictions, but he sees the study as a challenge to economists to drop many assumptions that currently go into theorising processes, like merchants choosing suppliers or banks setting interest rates. 12. What effect of past experiences do economists suppose? A. A stable way of handling issues. B. A state of confusion and disorder. C. Better decisions and higher income. D. Decreased interactions between people. 13. What was the core mechanism of the mathematical game? A. Players traded stocks to maximise their earnings. B. Players developed a model to reach a stable state. C. Players shared experiences to make better choices. D. Players reflected on prior decisions to adjust strategies. 14. What does the underlined word “satisficing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Highly satisfying. B. Constantly improving. C. Barely acceptable. D. Disappointingly fruitless. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Reevaluating Economic Assumptions through a Game Model. B. The Impossibility of Learning from Experience in Economics. C. A Mathematical Game Model for Simulating Large Economies. D. Challenges in Predicting Economic Performance through Games. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过一项模拟大型经济运行的数学博弈研究发现，即便从过往经验中学习，人们也无法成为最优决策者，该结论对现有经济理论的核心假设提出了挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In such theories, people are typically represented as reasonable agents who learn from past experiences to enhance their performance, eventually reaching a stable state in which they know how to maximise their earnings.(在这些理论中，人们通常被描述为理性的行为者，他们从过去的经验中学习，以提高自己的表现，最终达到一种稳定的状态，在这种状态下，他们知道如何使自己的收入最大化。)”可知，经济学家认为过去的经历产生的影响为：更好的决定和更高的收入。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“each capable of choosing between two actions— such as buying or selling a stock —and interacting with one another over multiple rounds, so each player’s decisions were influenced by their previous experiences, meaning they could learn from them.(每个参与者都能在两种行动，比如买入或卖出股票之间做出选择，并在多轮互动中相互影响，因此每个玩家的决策都会受到其以往经历的影响，也就是说他们能够从中吸取经验教训。)”可知，这个数学游戏的核心机制是：玩家会根据之前的决定来调整策略。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词的后文“That is a level that satisfied minimum expectations but not much more. (这达到了一个仅能满足最低预期水平的阶段，远未达到更高的标准。)”可知，划线词的意思应该是“勉强可接受的”刚好对应后文“满足最低要求、刚好达标”的含义，符合文意。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕这项博弈模型实验展开，核心结论就是质疑现有经济理论的假设，呼吁重新评估这些假设，所以A选项“通过游戏模型重新审视经济假设”能概括全文内容，适合用作文章标题。故选A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。 When we turn 40, we often worry about how to keep our minds sharp — due to aging, heavy workloads, or the challenge of adapting to new technology, such as not learning as fast as before or trying new ways of doing things. This gap between past and present can be upsetting. ____16____ Recovery becomes a key limiting factor on mental performance as we age. Unlike younger people, older adults frequently face recovery bottlenecks. Many ways to stay sharp focus on improving recovery. In sports, people say, “You can only train as hard as you can recover.” ____17____ Young people are limited by motivation or energy, but for older adults, recovery is the issue, like lacking focus when working longer. Prioritize basic recovery methods: quality sleep, balanced nutrition and regular low-intensity exercise to boost energy and ease mental tiredness. ____18____ After leaving school, most of us no longer take formal exams, but setting learning objectives that require evaluation can keep our learning ability sharp. This not only boosts confidence but also pushes us to use new learning tools. It also helps us address issues like discomfort with challenging tasks or difficulty processing large amounts of information at once. A good benchmark is to stay capable of learning undergraduate-level courses on any subject. Maintaining a willingness to try new things promotes mental growth. Research shows that balancing familiar routines with new experiences yields the best results. ____19____ Balance new attempts with familiar things — like visiting your go-to restaurant three Fridays a month and a new one once. These strategies are effective to maintain mental sharpness. ____20____ They also share a common requirement: self-knowledge gained through observation and reflection. By understanding such aspects, such as nutritional gaps or exercise limits, you can thrive mentally regardless of age or life stage. A. This equally applies to mental performance. B. This balance helps us grow with a sense of duty. C. But we can get that sharpness back with three strategies. D. They all essentially require understanding your personal needs. E. Pursuing learning goals with proper assessment is also necessary. F. Formal exams after school are key to maintaining our learning ability. G. Engaging in new things does not mean abandoning proven effective methods. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. E 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对40岁后思维敏锐度下降的问题，提出了三种保持思维敏锐的有效策略：提升恢复能力、追求有评估的学习目标、尝试新事物，同时强调这些策略都需要基于自我认知。 【16题详解】 上文“When we turn 40, we often worry about how to keep our minds sharp — due to aging, heavy workloads, or the challenge of adapting to new technology, such as not learning as fast as before or trying new ways of doing things. This gap between past and present can be upsetting. (当我们40岁时，我们常常担心如何保持思维敏捷——由于年龄的增长、工作负担的加重，或者适应新技术的挑战，比如学习速度不如以前快，或者尝试新的做事方式。过去和现在之间的这种差距可能会令人不安)”提到40岁时人们常担心思维不敏捷及这种差距带来的不安，C选项“But we can get that sharpness back with three strategies. (但我们可以通过三种策略重新获得那种敏锐)”承接上文，提出可以通过策略重新获得思维敏锐，引出下文对三种策略的阐述，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“In sports, people say, “You can only train as hard as you can recover.”(在体育界，人们说：“你只能以你能恢复的强度进行训练。”)”提到体育界关于训练和恢复的说法，A选项“This equally applies to mental performance. (这同样适用于精神表现)”承接上文，指出这种说法同样适用于精神表现，即恢复对精神表现也很重要，引出下文关于老年人恢复对精神表现影响的阐述，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 下文“After leaving school, most of us no longer take formal exams, but setting learning objectives that require evaluation can keep our learning ability sharp. (离开学校后，我们大多数人不再参加正式考试，但设定需要评估的学习目标可以保持我们的学习能力敏锐)”提到设定需要评估的学习目标对保持学习能力敏锐的重要性，E选项“Pursuing learning goals with proper assessment is also necessary. (追求有适当评估的学习目标也是必要的)”概括了下文内容，即追求有评估的学习目标很有必要，符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“Research shows that balancing familiar routines with new experiences yields the best results. (研究表明，在熟悉的日常活动和新的体验之间取得平衡会产生最好的效果)”提到在熟悉和新的体验间取得平衡效果好，G选项“Engaging in new things does not mean abandoning proven effective methods. (尝试新事物并不意味着放弃被证明有效的方法)”承接上文，进一步说明尝试新事物和保留有效方法之间的关系，即不是要放弃有效方法，引出下文“Balance new attempts with familiar things — like visiting your go-to restaurant three Fridays a month and a new one once. (在新的尝试和熟悉的事物之间取得平衡——比如一个月有三个周五去你常去的餐厅，有一次去新餐厅)”对平衡的具体举例，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“These strategies are effective to maintain mental sharpness. (这些策略对保持思维敏锐是有效的)”提到这些策略有效，D选项“They all essentially require understanding your personal needs.

Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell. “Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get. As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested. After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mia’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Mia’s heart sank. She stared at the broken shells on the floor, her breath caught in her throat. “You knew this was special” She picked up the pieces, her voice shaking. “Get out” Leo stepped back quickly. “I didn’t mean to…” he whispered, his voice shaking. “You never mean to” she screamed. Leo’s face turned pale, and he quickly bent down to pick up the pieces. Mia turned away, unable to speak. That night, she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, remembering Grandma’s warm hands and gentle voice: “Patience” She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace. The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. On top was a note, written in shaky letters: “I’m sorry, Mia. I tried to fix it.” Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart. At the center was a new shell — small, but shining — clearly one Leo had found himself. Mia smiled through tears. It wasn’t perfect, but it was filled with love. She picked up the necklace and gently placed it around her neck, whispering, “Thank you, Leo.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了米娅珍视奶奶留下的贝壳项链，项链承载着特殊意义。起初她难容忍弟弟利奥吵闹，奶奶说的“耐心”让米娅尽量耐心地对待利奥，因此两人的关系缓和。但暑假露营后的一天利奥不小心将项链摔碎。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“米娅的心沉了下去”可知，第一段可描写米娅十分生气，想起奶奶说的“耐心”。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，米娅惊讶地发现自己的桌子上有一个盒子”可知，第二段可描写次日利奥用胶水修补项链，还加入新贝壳，米娅感动，体会到弟弟的爱。 2.续写线索：米娅生气——利奥道歉——米娅想起奶奶说的“耐心”——利奥修补项链——米娅感动——米娅感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try to/attempt to ②不能：unable to/fail to 情绪类 ①爱：love/affection ②温柔的：gentle/mild 【点睛】[高分句型1] She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 苏大附中2025—2026学年第二学期阶段诊断 高二年级英语试卷 (考试时间： 120分钟 总分150分) 命题人：薛红芳 欧阳晨宇 审卷人：程欣欣 第一部分听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

But not all online or homeschool programmes are set up to accommodate science experiments or other STEM learning activities. Let’s take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for your child’s online school experience. Weather Laboratories To make learning about weather accessible and fun, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created a lot of informative weather activities and virtual labs they recommend for students and educators. In fact, their weather science content for kids features a Weather Lab application that allows middle school students to predict weather patterns, and learn what happens when ocean currents and air masses interact. Simulations for Science and Math It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs. Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics. Available in dozens of languages, the interactives are searchable by grade level, subject, and accessibility. Space Exploration Simulations The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) features many STEM learning activities for students in grades K-12. The interactive simulations are also gamified and make learning engaging and fun for your child. The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science. Space Chemistry Workshop How do different substances react in special space conditions? Space Chemistry Workshop is the best place to observe how metals rust under space- like radiation. It is fun! The chemical principles come alive in Space Chemistry Workshop! 1. Who is the text intended for? A. Parents. B. Students. C. Teachers. D. Researchers. 2. What makes Simulations for Science and Math different from the other labs? A. It covers the most subjects. B. It allows users to interact online. C. It offers gamified learning experiences. D.

Simulations for Science and Math. B The moment Daniel Swain wakes up, he gets whipped about (猛烈吹袭) by hurricane-force winds. “A Category 5, literally overnight, hits Acapulco,” says the 34-year-old climate scientist and self-described weather enthusiast, who is hit daily by the flood of catastrophic weather headlines: wildfires, megafloods, haboobs (an intense dust storm) , atmospheric rivers, bomb cyclones. Everyone’s asking: Did climate change cause these disasters? And, more and more, they want Swain to answer. Swain is at the same time 1,600 miles away from the hurricane and at the eye of storm. His ability to explain science to the masses has made him one of the media’s go-to climate experts. He’s a staff research scientist at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability who spends more than 1,100 hours each year on public-facing climate and weather communication, explaining whether (often, yes) and how climate change is raising the number and intensifying the fierceness of weather disasters. “Climate change is an increasingly big part of what’s driving weather extremes today,” Swain says. “I connect the dots between the two. There’s a lot of misunderstanding about how a warming climate affects day-to-day variations in weather, but my goal is to push public perception toward what the science actually says.” So, when reporters call him, he does his best to call them back. “Daniel had a very clear vision about how he wanted to contribute to science and the world, using social media and his website,” says Kareiva, a research professor at UCLA. “We will not solve climate change without a movement, and communication and social media are key to that. Most science papers are never even read. What we do as scientists only matters if it has an impact on the world. We need at least 100 more Daniels.” As global warming continues to worsen, it’s easy to get pulled into overly dramatic ways of looking at where the world is going amid catastrophic weather headlines. Daniel Swain helps people know how we can better face those fears with the use of scientific accuracy, which makes his role incredibly valuable. 4. Why do people want Daniel Swain to answer their disaster-related questions? A. He makes specialised knowledge accessible. B. He is widely recognised by the public and the media. C. He is an expert in environmental sustainability research. D. He works at the eye of storm with first-hand information. 5. What can we learn from Kareiva’s words? A. Climate change is widely misunderstood. B. The public should value scientific work more. C. Scientists should engage the public like Swain. D. Social media has a direct impact on climate change. 6. How can Daniel Swain be described? A. Helpful and optimistic. B. Easy-going and humorous. C. Responsible and serious. D. Purposeful and knowledgeable. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. The Weather Man: Approaching Fear with Science B. A Valuable Job: Connecting Science with Social Media C. An Inspiring Figure: Confronting Climate Change Bravely D. A Distinctive Scientist: Interpreting Climate from a Unique Perspective C Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising executive who ran a fast-food chain account, and yet dreamed of being a novelist instead. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see the adman on TV, holding up his new book. He has since published more than 100 New York Times best sellers and co-authored books with the likes of Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton. Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”. It describes how people envision their futures: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear becoming. The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on self-concept and self-perception. While self-concepts — “I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent” — are rooted in the present, the researchers found that people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change. These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation. A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice. A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker. In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive (feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. And researchers have found that constructing positive possible selves can improve well-being and relieve symptoms of depression by holding out the potential for a better future. A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often fleeting and not necessarily grounded in reality. It can take shape “if you build a bridge from your ‘now’ self to the possible self,” Dr. Markus said. But how do we construct that bridge? 8. Why is James Patterson mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story. B. To inspire the readers. C. To reveal the topic. D. To introduce the figure. 9. Which of the following is an example of one’s “possible selves”? A. I am a diligent student. B. I want to travel abroad. C. I could have become a dentist. D. I worry about being lonely. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Those who fear failure may end up being a loser. B. Knowing what can be achieved benefits mental health. C. A clear ambition guarantees one’s success in the future. D. A positive possible self is more motivating than a negative one. 11. What might be mentioned in the following paragraph? A. How to create more possibilities. B. How to realise one’s potential. C. How to build spiritual connections. D. How to cultivate self-awareness. D However much we learn from things going wrong, we will never become the best decision- makers. This finding comes from a mathematical game that simulates (模拟) a large economy, and suggests we may need to rethink assumptions built into economic theories. In such theories, people are typically represented as reasonable agents who learn from past experiences to enhance their performance, eventually reaching a stable state in which they know how to maximise their earnings. To test whether economists are correct in assuming that learning from the past experience enables individuals to avoid chaos, Garnier- Brun and his colleagues developed a mathematical model for a game featuring hundreds of simulated players, each capable of choosing between two actions — such as buying or selling a stock — and interacting with one another over multiple rounds, so each player’s decisions were influenced by their previous experiences, meaning they could learn from them. In different game scenarios (设想) , the researchers expected that the game would always result in chaos, with players unable to learn how to optimise their performance. Economic theory would suggest that, given the right set of parameters (参数) , the players would settle into a stable state where they had mastered the game — but the researchers found this wasn’t really the case. The most likely outcome was a state that never settled. Team member Jean- Philippe Bouchaud says that, in the absence of one centralised, all-powerful player who could coordinate everyone, regular players could only learn how to reach “satisficing” states. That is a level that satisfied minimum expectations but not much more. Players gained more than they would have done by playing at random, so learning wasn’t useless, but they still gained less than they would have if past experience had allowed them to truly optimise their performance. Bouchaud says the game model is too simple to be immediately adopted for making real- world predictions, but he sees the study as a challenge to economists to drop many assumptions that currently go into theorising processes, like merchants choosing suppliers or banks setting interest rates. 12. What effect of past experiences do economists suppose? A. A stable way of handling issues. B. A state of confusion and disorder. C. Better decisions and higher income. D. Decreased interactions between people. 13. What was the core mechanism of the mathematical game? A. Players traded stocks to maximise their earnings. B. Players developed a model to reach a stable state. C. Players shared experiences to make better choices. D. Players reflected on prior decisions to adjust strategies. 14. What does the underlined word “satisficing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Highly satisfying. B. Constantly improving. C. Barely acceptable. D. Disappointingly fruitless. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Reevaluating Economic Assumptions through a Game Model. B. The Impossibility of Learning from Experience in Economics. C. A Mathematical Game Model for Simulating Large Economies. D. Challenges in Predicting Economic Performance through Games. 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。 When we turn 40, we often worry about how to keep our minds sharp — due to aging, heavy workloads, or the challenge of adapting to new technology, such as not learning as fast as before or trying new ways of doing things. This gap between past and present can be upsetting. ____16____ Recovery becomes a key limiting factor on mental performance as we age. Unlike younger people, older adults frequently face recovery bottlenecks. Many ways to stay sharp focus on improving recovery. In sports, people say, “You can only train as hard as you can recover.” ____17____ Young people are limited by motivation or energy, but for older adults, recovery is the issue, like lacking focus when working longer. Prioritize basic recovery methods: quality sleep, balanced nutrition and regular low-intensity exercise to boost energy and ease mental tiredness. ____18____ After leaving school, most of us no longer take formal exams, but setting learning objectives that require evaluation can keep our learning ability sharp. This not only boosts confidence but also pushes us to use new learning tools. It also helps us address issues like discomfort with challenging tasks or difficulty processing large amounts of information at once. A good benchmark is to stay capable of learning undergraduate-level courses on any subject. Maintaining a willingness to try new things promotes mental growth. Research shows that balancing familiar routines with new experiences yields the best results. ____19____ Balance new attempts with familiar things — like visiting your go-to restaurant three Fridays a month and a new one once. These strategies are effective to maintain mental sharpness. ____20____ They also share a common requirement: self-knowledge gained through observation and reflection. By understanding such aspects, such as nutritional gaps or exercise limits, you can thrive mentally regardless of age or life stage. A. This equally applies to mental performance. B. This balance helps us grow with a sense of duty. C. But we can get that sharpness back with three strategies. D. They all essentially require understanding your personal needs. E. Pursuing learning goals with proper assessment is also necessary. F. Formal exams after school are key to maintaining our learning ability. G. Engaging in new things does not mean abandoning proven effective methods. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共三节，满分35分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A magazine article claimed that people begin to resemble (像) their parents around age 43.

Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell. “Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get. As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested. After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mia’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
