One of the key projects is our long-running Knits for Nature program. Why Your Help matters For over 20 years, this program has served two critical purposes. Initially, hand-knitted jumpers were essential for saving Little Penguins affected by oil spills (泄漏). When Little Penguins get oiled, they can poison themselves by eating oil. Knitted jumpers help to prevent them from reaching their feathers (羽毛) until rescuers wash them clean. Thanks to the generosity of knitters worldwide, our care center is now well-stocked with these life-saving jumpers for 40,000 penguins. Today, the program’s primary goal is to seek financial support. We now use these jumpers, dressed on penguin toys, as popular souvenirs sold in our stores. Each sale directly supports our ongoing wildlife protection work. How You Can Help We invite you to keep knitting creative jumpers for us! Themed designs such as those featuring Christmas colours, football themes, world flags, or ocean themes are welcomed as souvenirs. For safety, we cannot accept items with buttons or sharp decorations that could pose a danger to children. Please ensure jumpers stick to the following sizes in the picture. A huge thank you to all the wonderful knitters who have contributed to making a difference for Phillip Island’s precious wildlife! 1. How do the jumpers help save Little Penguins? A. By lowering care costs. B. By cleaning oily feathers. C. By acting as important barriers. D. By drawing rescuers’ attention. 2. What is the current purpose of the Knits for Nature program? A. To raise funds. B. To prevent oil spills. C. To educate the public. D. To inspire creative design. 3. Which of the following jumpers is acceptable? A. A red jumper with a secure button. B. A green jumper with a knitted dolphin. C. A 18cm-wide jumper with a football logo. D. A 15cm-long jumper with a UN flag pattern. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了企鹅基金会的“Knits for Nature”项目。文章阐述了针织毛衣最初如何拯救被石油污染的小企鹅，以及现在如何通过销售玩偶毛衣来筹集资金，并说明了志愿者如何参与编织。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why Your Help matters部分“Knitted jumpers help to prevent them from reaching their feathers (羽毛) until rescuers wash them clean.(针织毛衣能防止企鹅触碰自己的羽毛，直到救援人员将它们清洗干净。)”可知，毛衣通过充当屏障，避免企鹅误食羽毛上的油污。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why Your Help matters部分“Today, the program’s primary goal is to seek financial support. We now use these jumpers, dressed on penguin toys, as popular souvenirs sold in our stores. Each sale directly supports our ongoing wildlife protection work.(如今，该项目的主要目标是寻求资金支持。我们将这些毛衣穿在企鹅玩具上，作为热门纪念品在门店销售。每一笔销售都直接支持我们持续开展的野生动物保护工作。)”可知，项目当前目的是筹集资金。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据How You Can Help部分“Themed designs such as those featuring Christmas colours, football themes, world flags, or ocean themes are welcomed as souvenirs. For safety, we cannot accept items with buttons or sharp decorations that could pose a danger to children. Please ensure jumpers stick to the following sizes in the picture.(以圣诞色彩、足球主题、世界旗帜或海洋主题为特色的主题设计，均适合作为纪念品。出于安全考虑，我们不接受带有纽扣或尖锐装饰物的物品，这类物品可能会对儿童造成危险。请确保针织套头衫（毛衣）符合图片所示的以下尺寸要求。)”可知，带有针织海豚（海洋主题、无危险装饰）的绿色毛衣是可接受的。故选B项。 B This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与两位年过七旬的朋友的四天荒野探险经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs.(我盯着她的靴子，小心翼翼地沿着摇晃的圆木慢慢挪动。)”可知，作者盯着向导的靴子，小心翼翼地一步步走过摇晃的圆木桥。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段的句子“As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away.(当它们开始向我们走来时，我们缓过神来，大声呼喊并挥舞登山杖。它们吃了一惊，停了下来，然后慢慢转身离开。)”可知，熊被作者一行人的呼喊和挥杖动作吓到，因此转身离开。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的句子“On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind.(在我们旅行的最后一个早晨，我们在森林里安静而沉思地走了一段之后，被要求带回一根“有意义的”木棍、岩石和树叶来分享哪些会“留存”在我们心中，哪些“震撼”了我们，以及我们愿意“放下”什么)”可知，向导通过这些自然物品引导大家反思旅程中的收获与感悟。故选B项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段的语境，向导称赞她们的健康和积极态度，并表示希望自己三四十年后也能像她们一样。这些意外的话语温暖了作者的心，缓解了她对“over the hill”的恐惧。结合前文提到的“we were all in our seventies(我们都七十多岁了)”以及“ageing(变老)”这一主题，“over the hill”指的是已过青春巅峰、年老体衰的状态。故选A项。 C We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true? According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water. As is mentioned in Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste. “But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.” People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink. However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be full of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill. And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported. Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA． 8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________. A. introduce a topic B. draw a conclusion C. show an example D. analyze a phenomenon 9. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree? A. Covered water can last for a thousand years. B. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it. C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter. D. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink. 10. Why do water microorganisms increase in number? A. Because the water is stored in clean containers. B. Because of the surrounding temperature and sunlight. C. Because the water contains a lot of organic matter. D. Because chlorine in the water fails to kill bacteria. 11. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Why Water Is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了水放置一段时间后味道改变的原因，探讨了水是否真的变质，以及不同存储条件下水的情况。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. (我们都知道水是没有味道的。但这样的事时有发生：你拿起昨天没喝完的那瓶水，尝起来味道怪怪的)”可知，该段通过生活现象引出本文话题，所以第一段目的是引入话题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.(如果水被覆盖，质量好，原则上可以持续一千年。这是因为当水新鲜时，它含有很少的有机物。只要水装在干净的玻璃杯或瓶子里，就不会有污染物进入其中损害我们的健康)）”可知，特鲁尔斯·克罗格认为装在干净容器里的水可能是可以安全饮用的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. (在周围温度和透过窗户的阳光的帮助下，这些微生物迅速繁殖)”可知，水中的微生物数量增加是因为周围温度和阳光。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true?(我们都知道水是没有味道的。但这样的事时有发生：你拿起昨天没喝完的那瓶水，尝起来味道怪怪的。大多数情况下，你倾向于把瓶子扔进垃圾桶，以为水已经变质了。但这是真的吗？)”可知，文章开篇提出人们认为没喝完放置一段时间的水味道奇怪就是变质了这一观点，接着通过专家观点、不同情况分析等探讨水是否真的会变质，所以“Does Water Really Go Bad? (水真的会变质吗？)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D The technology for speech-recognition systems has advanced greatly since its appearance in the1950s. Many voice systems can understand the language when spoken at a normal conversational rate. But even the advanced human-machine interfaces (人机交互) used today are unable to trick the listeners into thinking a computer is a human. Why is this? Simply put, it’s because human beings rely on more than words to convey ideas or interpret messages, such as tones, facial expressions, body movements, and objects in the world around them. One significant recent achievement in the field of talking computers is virtual personal assistants(VPAs) on mobile phones. If you tell a mobile phone VPA that you want to schedule a lunch with a friend, it can set the appointment in your phone in seconds. The VPA can also hold a basic “conversation” and has earned fame for its elementary sense of humour. Still, the humour is preprogrammed and can be triggered only when human users speak certain key words. While the potential for “real” communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this possibility concerns some people. Some experts worry about people’s attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations. They worry that people won’t be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they haven’t been practising those skills. Others fear that machines will take over functions that were traditionally performed by humans, such as customer service. Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy (侵犯隐私). When people use certain speech-recognition applications, they leave behind an audio track of their speech. When you ask a VPA for directions, your speech is sent and saved to a remote server for processing. This digital trail may lead to data mining, or the collection of large quantities of personal data. For now, however, the continuing evolution of speech-recognition software is worth expecting. Leading companies in the field hope to make human communication with machines as seamless as possible, just like communicating with another human. 12. According to the text, what can a VPA do? A. Entertain users with its original jokes. B. Enable people to regard it as a human. C. Hold preprogrammed conversations. D. Display the right tones in conversations. 13. Which situation reflects the concerns mentioned in the text? A. One VPA service was priced higher for protecting users’ privacy. B. An airline bore high costs for applying VPAs to its online service. C. An app failed to offer the right direction when given spoken instructions. D. Some teenagers became more socially awkward due to the addiction to VPAs. 14. What is the purpose of the text? A. To inform readers of the double-edged quality of a new technology. B. To inspire readers to explore the future of a new technology. C. To promote the application of a new technology. D. To stress the convenience of a new technology. 15. What might be the best title of the text? A. The worries over VPAs. B. Listening to“a real person”. C. The world of technology. D. Talking to technology. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕语音识别系统和虚拟个人助手（VPA）展开，讨论了人与机器之间的“真实”交流的可能性及其带来的担忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Still, the humour is preprogrammed and can be triggered only when human users speak certain key words.(尽管如此，幽默是预先编程的，只有当人类用户说出某些关键词时才会被触发。)”可知，VPA可以进行预先编程的对话。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some experts worry about people’s attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations. They worry that people won’t be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they haven’t been practising those skills.(一些专家担心人们对这些机器的依赖，并担心年轻一代不会发展成功的人际交流技巧。他们担心人们在对话中无法表现出正确的情绪或语气，因为他们一直没有练习这些技能。)”可知，文中提到的担忧是人们过于依赖VPA而导致社交技能退化。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕语音识别系统和虚拟个人助手（VPA）展开，讨论了人与机器之间的“真实”交流的可能性及其带来的担忧。由此可知，这篇文章的目的是告知读者一项新技术的双刃剑特性。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕语音识别系统和虚拟个人助手（VPA）展开，讨论了人与机器之间的“真实”交流的可能性及其带来的担忧。选项D“与技术对话”直接概括了文章的核心内容。故选D。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people today feel tired in mind as phone alerts, short videos, and broken information compete for their attention. This can hurt connections in the hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, and raise the risk of forgetting. ____16____ Reading strengthens the brain. A study found that reading changes the brain’s structure. Researchers observed that individuals who engaged in reading, even if they learned later in life, improved cognitive (认知的) efficiency. ____17____ Experts recommend these daily practices to rebuild deep reading capacity. Exercise improves brain health. ____18____ A study found that participants who engaged in strength training three times a week for six months saw measurable growth in the hippocampus, while those who did not exercise experienced age-related reduction. Researchers recommend four categories of brain-friendly exercise: moderate aerobic activity like swimming; high-intensity interval training for experienced exercisers; skill-based sports combining movement with thinking and resistance training, such as weightlifting. ____19____ Quality rest is important for memory consolidation (巩固). During non-REM sleep, the hippocampus “replays” daytime experiences, transforming short-term impressions into long-term memory. Lack of sleep breaks this process, and catching up later does not fully make up for the damage. Music awakens the brain. Music activates several brain regions at the same time. ____20____ Musicians, for example, often show enlarged brain areas linked to fine motor skills and pitch recognition. Listening to or practicing music can therefore serve as a cross-sensory “workout” for the brain. A. Going to bed early protects the brain. B. Catching up on sleep repairs the harm to the brain. C. Physical activity benefits not only the body but also the brain. D. Luckily, there are some accessible strategies to sharpen the mind. E. Regular physical activity contributes significantly to our well-being. F. It can enhance hearing motor control and even academic performance. G. Recalling song lyrics and summarizing articles are all useful exercises. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种提升大脑认知能力、改善记忆的有效策略。 【16题详解】 上文“Many people today feel tired in mind...and raise the risk of forgetting.(如今很多人因信息分心感到精神疲惫，这会损伤大脑记忆中枢，增加遗忘风险)”指出当下人们大脑受干扰、记忆力受损的问题。下文分别介绍阅读、运动、休息、音乐四种健脑方法，空处起到承上启下的过渡作用。选项D“Luckily, there are some accessible strategies to sharpen the mind.(幸运的是，有一些可行的方法可以磨砺大脑思维_”既回应前文的问题，又引出后文的解决策略，符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“Reading strengthens the brain. A study found that reading changes the brain’s structure.

When I was too tired to make myself dinner, I’d just eat the kids’ leftover cereal (麦片粥). I thought this was a great plan to lose some weight and called it the “Cereal for Diet.” Back then,I knew nothing about nutrition. Of course, the Cereal for Diet failed, as did all my other attempts. One day, after cleaning up all the mess my kids had made, I went out for a walk. I passed a gym. I looked away.Healthy people went there, but this was not me. While turning away,I saw an ad for a six-month fitness challenge. I continued my fast walk in the opposite direction, but that sign just stayed on my mind. I still remember what finally motivated me to sign up for the challenge. It was a ten-minute period in which my son threw his spaghetti plate straight up, sending noodles and sauce flying everywhere. As soon as my husband got home,I said, “You’re in charge.” I made a beeline for the gym, marched straight in and said, “Fix me.” And I was assigned a young and fit trainer, Emily. She asked what my goals were for the six-month challenge. At that moment, I was speechless. Noticing my embarrassment, Emily just handed me the heaviest weights I had in my life and said, “Okay, so in six months you will compete in a body-building show.” I tried explaining, “No, I don’t want to do a show. That sounds scary.” She ignored my fear, and we jumped into strict workouts and nutrition planning. Over the next six months, Emily forced me to focus on myself — my wants and my needs. I learned to see food as strength and sweat as progress. I learned how to fuel my body instead of starving it, balancing proteins, carbs, and fats. Emily pushed me past my limits, correcting my form, timing my breaks, and cheering me on when I wanted to quit. I improved every day in the gym. 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。 One day, Emily handed me an application form. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, I jumped into weeks of preparation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, Emily handed me an application form. “You’re ready,” she said with a confident smile. It was for a local body-building show, the very thing I’d once feared. My heart raced as I looked at the form, but then I thought of all the progress I'd made. I took a deep breath and filled it out, determined to face my fear. I knew this was a chance to prove to myself that I could achieve something I never thought possible. Soon, I jumped into weeks of preparation. Every day, I spent hours in the gym, following Emily’s strict workout plan. I also paid close attention to my diet, making sure I got the right nutrients. As the show day drew near, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. But with Emily’s constant encouragement and support, I felt more and more confident. Finally, the big day arrived, and I stepped onto the stage, ready to show the world what I’d accomplished. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者作为三个孩子的妈妈，一直忽视自我照顾，减肥尝试均失败。一次看到健身房广告后，在孩子调皮的刺激下决定报名参加健身挑战，在教练艾米丽的严格训练和营养规划下，作者逐渐进步并克服恐惧，并报名参加健美比赛，最终迎来比赛日的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一天，艾米丽递给我一张申请表。”可知，第一段可描写作者面对申请表时的心理活动，最终决定报名参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，我投入到了数周的准备工作中。”可知，第二段可描写作者为比赛所做的准备，以及比赛当天作者的表现。 2.续写线索：收到申请表——犹豫——决定报名——准备比赛——比赛当天——展示成果 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ②关注：pay attention to/focus on/concentrate on ③确保：make sure/ensure/guarantee 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety ②自信的：confident/self-assured 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart raced as I looked at the form, but then I thought of all the progress I’d made.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句，that或which引导的限定性定语从句，that或which被省略) 【高分句型2】Finally, the big day arrived, and I stepped onto the stage, ready to show the world what I’d accomplished.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026-2学年高一年级4月月考 英语试卷 卷面分数：150分 考试时间：120分钟 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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

One of the key projects is our long-running Knits for Nature program. Why Your Help matters For over 20 years, this program has served two critical purposes. Initially, hand-knitted jumpers were essential for saving Little Penguins affected by oil spills (泄漏). When Little Penguins get oiled, they can poison themselves by eating oil. Knitted jumpers help to prevent them from reaching their feathers (羽毛) until rescuers wash them clean. Thanks to the generosity of knitters worldwide, our care center is now well-stocked with these life-saving jumpers for 40,000 penguins. Today, the program’s primary goal is to seek financial support. We now use these jumpers, dressed on penguin toys, as popular souvenirs sold in our stores. Each sale directly supports our ongoing wildlife protection work. How You Can Help We invite you to keep knitting creative jumpers for us! Themed designs such as those featuring Christmas colours, football themes, world flags, or ocean themes are welcomed as souvenirs. For safety, we cannot accept items with buttons or sharp decorations that could pose a danger to children. Please ensure jumpers stick to the following sizes in the picture. A huge thank you to all the wonderful knitters who have contributed to making a difference for Phillip Island’s precious wildlife! 1. How do the jumpers help save Little Penguins? A. By lowering care costs. B. By cleaning oily feathers. C. By acting as important barriers. D. By drawing rescuers’ attention. 2. What is the current purpose of the Knits for Nature program? A. To raise funds. B. To prevent oil spills. C. To educate the public. D. To inspire creative design. 3. Which of the following jumpers is acceptable? A. A red jumper with a secure button. B. A green jumper with a knitted dolphin. C. A 18cm-wide jumper with a football logo. D. A 15cm-long jumper with a UN flag pattern. B This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. C We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true? According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water. As is mentioned in Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste. “But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.” People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink. However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be full of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill. And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported. Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA． 8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________. A. introduce a topic B. draw a conclusion C. show an example D. analyze a phenomenon 9. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree? A. Covered water can last for a thousand years. B. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it. C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter. D. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink. 10. Why do water microorganisms increase in number? A. Because the water is stored in clean containers. B. Because of the surrounding temperature and sunlight. C. Because the water contains a lot of organic matter. D. Because chlorine in the water fails to kill bacteria. 11. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Why Water Is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water D The technology for speech-recognition systems has advanced greatly since its appearance in the1950s. Many voice systems can understand the language when spoken at a normal conversational rate. But even the advanced human-machine interfaces (人机交互) used today are unable to trick the listeners into thinking a computer is a human. Why is this? Simply put, it’s because human beings rely on more than words to convey ideas or interpret messages, such as tones, facial expressions, body movements, and objects in the world around them. One significant recent achievement in the field of talking computers is virtual personal assistants(VPAs) on mobile phones. If you tell a mobile phone VPA that you want to schedule a lunch with a friend, it can set the appointment in your phone in seconds. The VPA can also hold a basic “conversation” and has earned fame for its elementary sense of humour. Still, the humour is preprogrammed and can be triggered only when human users speak certain key words. While the potential for “real” communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this possibility concerns some people. Some experts worry about people’s attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations. They worry that people won’t be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they haven’t been practising those skills. Others fear that machines will take over functions that were traditionally performed by humans, such as customer service. Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy (侵犯隐私). When people use certain speech-recognition applications, they leave behind an audio track of their speech. When you ask a VPA for directions, your speech is sent and saved to a remote server for processing. This digital trail may lead to data mining, or the collection of large quantities of personal data. For now, however, the continuing evolution of speech-recognition software is worth expecting. Leading companies in the field hope to make human communication with machines as seamless as possible, just like communicating with another human. 12. According to the text, what can a VPA do? A. Entertain users with its original jokes. B. Enable people to regard it as a human. C. Hold preprogrammed conversations. D. Display the right tones in conversations. 13. Which situation reflects the concerns mentioned in the text? A. One VPA service was priced higher for protecting users’ privacy. B. An airline bore high costs for applying VPAs to its online service. C. An app failed to offer the right direction when given spoken instructions. D. Some teenagers became more socially awkward due to the addiction to VPAs. 14. What is the purpose of the text? A. To inform readers of the double-edged quality of a new technology. B. To inspire readers to explore the future of a new technology. C. To promote the application of a new technology. D. To stress the convenience of a new technology. 15. What might be the best title of the text? A. The worries over VPAs. B. Listening to“a real person”. C. The world of technology. D. Talking to technology. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people today feel tired in mind as phone alerts, short videos, and broken information compete for their attention.

Researchers observed that individuals who engaged in reading, even if they learned later in life, improved cognitive (认知的) efficiency. ____17____ Experts recommend these daily practices to rebuild deep reading capacity. Exercise improves brain health. ____18____ A study found that participants who engaged in strength training three times a week for six months saw measurable growth in the hippocampus, while those who did not exercise experienced age-related reduction. Researchers recommend four categories of brain-friendly exercise: moderate aerobic activity like swimming; high-intensity interval training for experienced exercisers; skill-based sports combining movement with thinking and resistance training, such as weightlifting. ____19____ Quality rest is important for memory consolidation (巩固). During non-REM sleep, the hippocampus “replays” daytime experiences, transforming short-term impressions into long-term memory. Lack of sleep breaks this process, and catching up later does not fully make up for the damage. Music awakens the brain. Music activates several brain regions at the same time. ____20____ Musicians, for example, often show enlarged brain areas linked to fine motor skills and pitch recognition. Listening to or practicing music can therefore serve as a cross-sensory “workout” for the brain. A. Going to bed early protects the brain. B. Catching up on sleep repairs the harm to the brain. C. Physical activity benefits not only the body but also the brain. D. Luckily, there are some accessible strategies to sharpen the mind. E. Regular physical activity contributes significantly to our well-being. F. It can enhance hearing motor control and even academic performance. G. Recalling song lyrics and summarizing articles are all useful exercises. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The first time I picked up the trumpet (小号) was 15 years ago.

When I was too tired to make myself dinner, I’d just eat the kids’ leftover cereal (麦片粥). I thought this was a great plan to lose some weight and called it the “Cereal for Diet.” Back then,I knew nothing about nutrition. Of course, the Cereal for Diet failed, as did all my other attempts. One day, after cleaning up all the mess my kids had made, I went out for a walk. I passed a gym. I looked away.Healthy people went there, but this was not me. While turning away,I saw an ad for a six-month fitness challenge. I continued my fast walk in the opposite direction, but that sign just stayed on my mind. I still remember what finally motivated me to sign up for the challenge. It was a ten-minute period in which my son threw his spaghetti plate straight up, sending noodles and sauce flying everywhere. As soon as my husband got home,I said, “You’re in charge.” I made a beeline for the gym, marched straight in and said, “Fix me.” And I was assigned a young and fit trainer, Emily. She asked what my goals were for the six-month challenge. At that moment, I was speechless. Noticing my embarrassment, Emily just handed me the heaviest weights I had in my life and said, “Okay, so in six months you will compete in a body-building show.” I tried explaining, “No, I don’t want to do a show. That sounds scary.” She ignored my fear, and we jumped into strict workouts and nutrition planning. Over the next six months, Emily forced me to focus on myself — my wants and my needs. I learned to see food as strength and sweat as progress. I learned how to fuel my body instead of starving it, balancing proteins, carbs, and fats. Emily pushed me past my limits, correcting my form, timing my breaks, and cheering me on when I wanted to quit. I improved every day in the gym. 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。 One day, Emily handed me an application form. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, I jumped into weeks of preparation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
