B Leaving his smartphone and computer at home, a doctoral student rediscovers the pleasures of navigating life offline. It may sound hard to believe in this digital age but Yang Hao, a 32-year-old doctoral student studying in the United Kingdom, set about a solo trip the old-fashioned way last year, using a printed map, paying for everything using cash or a bank card, reading train timetables, and talking to strangers. Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions across China, read 40 books, documented his experiences, and used two cameras to record what he saw. “I realized that those 134 days were the most fulfilling, focused and productive period of my life. It was an experience of absolute concentration,” says Yang, who was born in Taiyuan in Shanxi province. Since his story was posted online, it has gone viral, giving rise to widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence on technology. One netizen from Hubei province named Yangbu’er, commented that “while technology makes the world smaller, and we seem to have more resources to hand, we also lose some things”. Another from Fujian province, who goes by the online name of Silence, wrote that not having a phone means anxiety in modern society, because phones combine many functions in one: navigation aids, digital wallets, and social connectivity. Although he foresaw that it would cause some discussion, the public attention his journey has drawn has gone beyond his imagination. He says that he has gained a great deal from his “experiment”. Now, he keeps a degree of distance from the Internet, and does not have Wi-Fi connected to his phone, or installed at home, and also limits his phone usage to 90 minutes per day. He even tries to finish all his work at his art studio in the UK, which has Internet access. 24. What makes Yang Hao’s trip unbelievable? A. The destinations. B. The offline way. C. The expense. D. The distance. 25. What does Yang Hao think of his trip? A. Adventurous. B. Meaningless. C. Common. D. Rewarding. 26. Which of the following may the netizen Silence agree to? A. Internet is supposed to provide more functions. B. People can’t deal with anything without the Internet. C. We may be too dependent on the Internet nowadays. D. We lose too much due to the presence of the Internet. 27. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The various functions of the Internet. B. The popularity of Yang Hao’s journey. C. Yang Hao’s changes brought by the trip. D. Yang Hao’s expectation for the next trip. C On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab, Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai, India. While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt.” I realized this was air pollution, or sooty (像煤一样) particulate matter (PM), made of black particles released from exhaust (尾气) of vehicles.” Sharma says. “This is a major health issue.” Soot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, made carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels. Back at MIT, Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators (柴油发电机) to collect particulate matter. Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world. So far, the startup has collected 1.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter. More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1,000 artists, from Bangalore to Boston, Shanghai, and London. Posted all over Graviky Lab’s Facebook page today are photos of art made from the Air-Ink and pant, including street wall paintings, body art and clothing prints. At first, there was still no specific application for the ink. Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission. It chose to do so through art.” Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from. Air pollution knows no borders. Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that’s the hardest to collect and use. But it can be done,” Sharma says. 28. What struck Sharma most during his break in India? A. Dirt on his T-shirts. B. Health issue of the locals. C. Coal industry in Mumbai. D. Incomplete burning of fossil fuels. 29. According to the text, Air-Ink is ________. A. a cleaner of outdoor air B. a product made from PM C. a newly-founded company D. a printing technology 30. What can we infer about Air-Ink from the text? A. It improves artistic effect. B. It makes pollution acceptable. C. It helps Sharma make a profit. D. It raises environmental awareness. 31. What might be the best title for the text? A. Arts know no borders B. Waste has no price C. Less pollution, more art D. Creative thinking, effective painting D The Amazon rainforest, is as undisturbed a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Now, research suggests that many of the region’s most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming. Birds are often considered sentinel (哨兵) species — meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem — so scientists are particularly interested in how they’re responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North America’s bird species will be in danger of extinction by 2100 if warming trends continue on their current course. For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon’s resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, dryer climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings. Because of the study’s long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological (形态学的) effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer weather might lead to smaller body size. 32. Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds? A. They have small body sizes. B. They are sensitive to hot weather. C. They live in an undisturbed rainforest. D. They are ecological balance indicators. 33. What can we learn from the new study? A. A third of species have been extinct for a decade. B. 36 species lost 2% of their body weight every year. C. Two-thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight. D. About 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings. 34. What does the underlined word “dissipate” in the last paragraph mean? A. take on. B. give off. C. put up. D. lead to. 35. What would probably the researchers further study? A. What effects the wing length changes have on birds. B. Why it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool. C. Why the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight. D. Whether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How to Become a Global Citizen Global citizens recognize that they are a part of the global community and that their actions can impact the lives of people on the other side of the world.

As usual, I walked to the subway station to catch the train. Along the way, I noticed the streets filled with rubbish dumps (堆) everywhere and some people begging for food and money from passers-by. The air around smelt bad, making people choked. Everything around me seemed so boring. Before I knew it, I came to the crossing of the road to wait for the light, holding tightly a pile of documents against my chest. I took a glance of these papers on which I spent a whole night, thinking of the coming presentation I would give to the whole company at the conference. Suddenly I noticed a little boy approaching me, who was in old and shabby clothes, with a face that seemed as if it had never been washed at all. I thought it for granted that he was a beggar. I felt so sick at that moment that as soon as the light turned green, I hurried to cross the road in order to pull myself away from him. However, when I came to the other side of the road, I heard the little boy shouting at me from behind, “Bhaiya! Bhaiya!” (Big brother), but I pretended not to hear him, so I didn’t answer him at all. My inner self complained the country for its poor conditions. “Why are there always so many people begging for money in the street?” It all kept annoying me, making me feel more unwilling to answer him. “Bhaiya! Bhaiya!” I heard him keeping calling out to me, which made me even more impatient and angrier. Finally, I couldn’t bear it any more and shouted at him that I had no money to give him. But the boy, without even bothering to hear my words of despair, cried with anxiety, “Bhaiya! Your papers!”, waving his hand in the air. 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。 The next moment, I was frozen and couldn’t feel my legs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I made up my mind to do something to reward his kindness. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 叙州区二中2025-2026学年下期高2024级阶段一考试 英语答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30 分） 1-5 ABBBC 6-10 BCAAC 11-15 ACAAC 16-20 ABBCC 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，每小题2.5分，满分50分） A篇21-23 C B A B篇24-27 B D C C C篇28-31 A B D C D篇32-35 D D B A 七选五 36.

The reasons are as follows. To begin with, it was perseverance that pulled me through the tough times in physics learning, stopping me from giving up. Besides, perseverance also shaped my positive attitude towards challenges, which even made me enjoy English speeches I once feared most. Perseverance teaches me that success comes from consistent efforts. It will surely guide me bravely through the coming challenges of Senior Three and future life. 第二节（满分25分） The next moment, I was frozen and couldn’t feel my legs. The poor little boy, who ran towards me out of breath, handed me the papers with his dirty hands. Seeing his shabby clothes and shining eyes, I felt my blood rushing to my face and a burst of shame seized me. Without the boy, I would have wasted a whole night’s effort and made a fool of myself in front of all my colleagues. But I treated such a nice boy with prejudice and impatience. Shame on me! I made up my mind to do something to reward his kindness. I went to the nearby grocery and bought him a big ice cream. Surprised and delighted, the little boy jumped to his feet and said “thanks” to me constantly. Seeing his sparkling eyes with excitement, I felt a warm current welling up in my heart. In fact, it was I who should say thanks to him. Thanks to the little boy, I learnt that, “Kindness has nothing to do with what a man looks like.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
