Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures. Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways. ●Farmers can change WHAT they plant. This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat, or a different variety of a specific crop. ●Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change. ●Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise, crop planting can shift northwards or southwards for more suitable temperatures. ●Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work. A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their positive impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum. soybeans (大豆) and wheat. These three adaptation methods can already go some way towards relieving climate pressure in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level! If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future. 1. According to the chart, which crop benefits the least from the method of changing both WHAT and WHEN? A. Wheat B. Rice C. Sorghum D. Soybean 2. Which of the following adaptation methods costs farmers no extra money or work? A. Changing WHAT they plant. B. Changing HOW crops are managed. C. Changing WHERE crops are planted. D. Changing WHEN they plant. 3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The three adaptation methods have solved the problem of climate pressure globally. B. Farmers in food-insecure regions have already adapted to climate change well. C. More efforts are needed to help at-risk regions deal with climate change. D. Global crop production is the only concern in climate change adaptation. B A Senior Moment The quiet surface of Mares Pond is suddenly broken by a cry: “Found something!” A swimmer dives down and soon reappears, holding a beer can. It is passed to a kayaker, who raises it like a prize before placing it safely in a basket. On a cloudy summer morning, a team of 15 women, all over the age of 65, search the pond for trash. Working in water up to eight feet deep, they recover a surprising variety of objects, including wooden planks (木条) and even a mud-covered fishing rod (竿). Their most impressive find is a long piece of metal, which requires several people to lift onto a kayak. Despite the hard work, the women return to shore laughing and sharing jokes about their discoveries. They are members of Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG), a group founded in 2017 by Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. What began as a small effort has grown into a regular activity aimed at protecting local ponds. At first, to overcome the fear of dark water and hidden dangers, Baur focused on visible objects underwater. Over time, however, she realized that these “markers” were actually pieces of trash. Determined to make a change, she gathered friends to help clean them up. For many members, the activity is not only about environmental protection but also about rediscovering a sense of purpose. Baur believes that being over 65 can be “an age of gratitude,” when people appreciate both nature and their own abilities more deeply. She also hopes to challenge the idea that older women are limited by age. Although some people question the group’s name or suggest including younger members, OLAUG continues to emphasize the strength and value of older women. Through teamwork and determination, they prove that age does not prevent meaningful contribution. Instead, their efforts show that it is never too late to make a difference. 4. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how the team carefully carries out trash collection B. To describe a scene where the team wins a prize C. To highlight the excitement of discovering unusual items underwater D. To present a typical scene from the group’s cleaning activity 5. Why did Susan Baur first use “markers” while swimming? A. To measure the depth of the pond B. To locate valuable objects C. To reduce her fear of underwater environment D. To help others find their way 6. Which of the following best describes OLAUG? A. A professional environmental organization B. A group combining environmental action with social meaning C. A business aiming to make profit from recycling D. A sports club for elderly swimmers 7. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Environmental protection depends on individual efforts and awareness B. The elderly can still play an active and meaningful role in society C. People can use their professional skills to contribute to the nature D. Taking part in outdoor activities improves physical and mental health C Living at high altitudes has long been associated with a lower risk of diabetes (糖尿病), but the reason behind this connection has remained unclear. A new study led by researchers in the US may have found the answer. Their findings suggest that under conditions of chronic low oxygen, red blood cells take in three times more glucose (葡萄糖) than usual, helping to lower blood sugar levels. This discovery challenges the traditional view that red blood cells play only a minor role in energy balance. In experiments, mice exposed to low-oxygen environments showed lower blood glucose levels, yet the sugar was not found in expected organs such as the muscles, brain, or liver. Using advanced imaging techniques, the team discovered that red blood cells were acting as major glucose absorbers. According to biochemist Isha Jain, this reveals a previously overlooked aspect of glucose metabolism (新陈代谢). The researchers also identified a specific molecule (分子) that influences hemoglobin (血红蛋白), the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. This molecule loosens hemoglobin’s hold on oxygen, improving oxygen delivery to tissues while increasing glucose consumption. “Red blood cells are usually thought of as passive oxygen carriers,” said biochemist Angelo D’ Alessandro. “Yet we found they can account for a large part of whole-body glucose use, especially under low oxygen.” Encouragingly, when the researchers gave a drug that simulates high-altitude effects to mice with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the animals’ high blood sugar levels were reversed. While treatments based on this discovery are still a long way off, the findings open new possibilities for managing diabetes. The study also offers insights into why Sherpas, who have lived at high altitudes for generations, do not typically show lower blood sugar levels — it may be due to genetic adaptations that prevent their red blood cells from becoming “glucose absorbers”. The researchers believe this is only the beginning of understanding how the body adapts to oxygen changes and how such mechanisms might be used to treat various diseases. 8. What did the researchers find about red blood cells under low-oxygen conditions? A. They reduce the amount of oxygen delivered to body tissues. B. They absorb a much larger amount of glucose than normal. C. They stop carrying oxygen and focus only on sugar uptake. D. They transform glucose into a form that cannot be used by the body. 9. What is the function of the specific molecule mentioned in paragraph 3? A. It increases the production of glucose in the liver. B. It blocks red blood cells from taking in too much sugar. C. It makes it easier for hemoglobin to release oxygen. D. It changes the structure of red blood cells permanently. 10. What does the passage suggest about the research findings? A. A new diabetes drug has already been developed for humans. B. The findings are unlikely to lead to any practical medical treatments. C. The drug experiment only worked on mice with no practical value at present. D. The research offers promising possibilities for future diabetes care. 11. What can be inferred about Sherpas from the last paragraph? A. Their blood sugar levels are typically higher than those of other high-altitude people. B. Their red blood cells naturally act like “glucose sponges” absorbing extra sugar. C. Their bodies have adaptive genetic changes that influence how glucose is absorbed. D. They are unable to adapt to low-oxygen environments over time. D When psychologists discuss boundaries (边界), they do not mean controlling others or avoiding relationship problems. Setting a boundary means changing your behavior according to your own rules. Such rules help express personal needs and build stronger connections with people, says therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab. To understand boundaries, consider a mother who often comments on her adult child’s weight. Asking her to stop is a request, not a boundary. Only when the request is ignored can a boundary be set. One effective approach, suggested by therapist KC Davis, involves refusing to internalize the other person’s opinion. “I don’t need to send her books; I don’t need to convince her that I’m healthy,” Davis explains. “I say ‘OK, Mom’ and move on.” Boundaries can also be expressed through clear statements — e.g., telling a disrespectful teenager, “I will not continue talking to someone abusing me” — or through silent actions, like not replying to an uncomfortable message. Setting boundaries strengthens relationships by drawing a line between one’s own needs and those of others, helping prevent emotional outbursts, says psychology professor Catherine A. Sanderson. In cases where the other person cannot meet one’s expectations, boundaries allow the relationship to remain satisfying. Davis recalls a friend who frequently failed to show up for planned meetings. Instead of trying to change her friend’s behavior, Davis stopped making frequent plans and adjusted her expectations, allowing their occasional visits to become genuinely enjoyable. Mental health experts identify three types of boundaries. Rigid boundaries involve avoiding close relationships and difficulty trusting others, while loose boundaries involve oversharing personal information, tolerating disrespect, and struggling to say no. Ideally, individuals should aim for healthy boundaries — valuing one’s own wants and needs, being open to close relationships when desired, and refusing when necessary. According to Tawwab, achieving balance and flexibility in boundary-setting is essential, as overly rigid or loose boundaries can damage relationships. 12. What does the second paragraph suggest about handling unwanted comments? A. The best response is to accept the other’s opinion. B. One should try to convince the other person to change. C. Making a request is usually the most effective first step. D. A boundary can be set without expecting the other to stop. 13. What can we learn from the story of Davis and her friend? A. Make more plans to test their reliability. B. Change hopes and stop pushing changes. C. End the friendship immediately if let down. D. Have a serious talk to change their behavior. 14. Which of the following is a characteristic of loose boundaries? A. Avoiding close relationships. B. Having difficulty trusting others. C. Finding it hard to refuse others. D. Valuing one’s own wants and needs. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare different types of boundaries. B. To criticize the overuse of psychological terms. C. To explain the true meaning of setting boundaries. D. To encourage readers to avoid close relationships. 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。 Why Read Classic Literature?

Among the lively atmosphere, Wanda Petronski, a poor Polish girl, with her unruly hair and a faded blue dress that showed signs of frequent wear, became the target of cruel jokes among her classmates. Each morning, as Wanda stepped into the classroom, a sudden silence would fall over the room. The abrupt silence was soon replaced by whispers and laughter. “Look, there’s Wanda,” Peggy would whisper to her friend Maggie, her eyes shining with mischief. Peggy, the most popular girl in class, was well-known for her sharp tongue and a good sense of fashion. Driven by a mix of boredom and meanness (恶意), she would call out, “How many dresses do you have now, Wanda?” Her voice was filled with pretended curiosity. Wanda would hesitate, her fingers nervously twisting her dress. “A hundred,” she would reply in a soft murmur; her voice was barely heard. Instantly, the classroom would erupt in laughter. “A hundred!” Peggy would shout, her laughter echoing through the room. “I bet they’re all made of paper!” The other students would join in, their cruel laughter filling the air. Wanda’s face would redden with awkward, and she would quickly lower her head, unable to meet anyone’s eyes. Miss Mason, their teacher, often tried to intervene. “That’s enough, class. Let’s start the lesson,” she would say firmly, attempting to restore order. But the damage had been done. Day after day, Peggy and her group of friends continued to make fun of Wanda, asking about her “hundred dresses” and making ill remarks about her plain clothes. One day, Miss Mason announced an exciting drawing contest. The theme was “Design a Dress,” and the winning entries would be displayed in the school hall. Peggy, confident in her artistic abilities, was determined to claim victory. 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。 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥八中2025-2026学年第二学期高二年级期中检测 英语试题卷 注意事项： 1.你拿到的试卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2.试卷包括“试题卷”和“答题卷”两部分，请务必在“答题卷”上答题，在“试题卷”上答题无效。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Determined to make a change, she gathered friends to help clean them up. For many members, the activity is not only about environmental protection but also about rediscovering a sense of purpose. Baur believes that being over 65 can be “an age of gratitude,” when people appreciate both nature and their own abilities more deeply. She also hopes to challenge the idea that older women are limited by age. Although some people question the group’s name or suggest including younger members, OLAUG continues to emphasize the strength and value of older women. Through teamwork and determination, they prove that age does not prevent meaningful contribution. Instead, their efforts show that it is never too late to make a difference. 4. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how the team carefully carries out trash collection B. To describe a scene where the team wins a prize C. To highlight the excitement of discovering unusual items underwater D. To present a typical scene from the group’s cleaning activity 5. Why did Susan Baur first use “markers” while swimming? A. To measure the depth of the pond B. To locate valuable objects C. To reduce her fear of underwater environment D. To help others find their way 6. Which of the following best describes OLAUG? A. A professional environmental organization B. A group combining environmental action with social meaning C. A business aiming to make profit from recycling D. A sports club for elderly swimmers 7. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Environmental protection depends on individual efforts and awareness B. The elderly can still play an active and meaningful role in society C. People can use their professional skills to contribute to the nature D. Taking part in outdoor activities improves physical and mental health 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了由15名65岁以上女性组成的“老年女性反对水下垃圾”（OLAUG）组织在池塘清理垃圾的活动，以及该组织的成立背景、目的和意义，强调了老年人在社会中仍能发挥积极且有意义的作用。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The quiet surface of Mares Pond is suddenly broken by a cry: “Found something!” A swimmer dives down and soon reappears, holding a beer can. It is passed to a kayaker, who raises it like a prize before placing it safely in a basket. (马尔斯池塘平静的水面突然被一声喊叫打破：“发现东西了！”一名游泳者潜入水中，很快又浮出水面，手里拿着一个啤酒罐。它被传给了一个划皮艇的人，这个人像举奖品一样举起它，然后把它安全地放进篮子里。)”以及第二段“On a cloudy summer morning, a team of 15 women, all over the age of 65, search the pond for trash. (在一个阴沉的夏日早晨，一个由15名65岁以上女性组成的团队在池塘里搜寻垃圾。)”可知，第一段描述了一个场景，这个场景是OLAUG组织在池塘清理垃圾的典型场景，所以第一段的主要目的是呈现该组织清理活动的一个典型场景。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At first, to overcome the fear of dark water and hidden dangers, Baur focused on visible objects underwater. (起初，为了克服对黑暗的水域和潜在危险的恐惧，Baur专注于水下的可见物体。)”可知，Baur一开始使用“标记物”是为了减少她对水下环境的恐惧。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“What began as a small effort has grown into a regular activity aimed at protecting local ponds. (起初只是一个小小的努力，现在已经发展成为一项旨在保护当地池塘的常规活动。)”以及第四段“For many members, the activity is not only about environmental protection but also about rediscovering a sense of purpose. (对许多成员来说，这项活动不仅是为了保护环境，也是为了重新发现一种使命感。)”可知，OLAUG这个组织既关注环境保护，又赋予了成员社会意义，让他们重新发现使命感，所以OLAUG是一个将环境行动与社会意义相结合的团体。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Although some people question the group’s name or suggest including younger members, OLAUG continues to emphasize the strength and value of older women. Through teamwork and determination, they prove that age does not prevent meaningful contribution. Instead, their efforts show that it is never too late to make a difference. (尽管有些人质疑该组织的名称或建议吸收年轻成员，但OLAUG继续强调老年女性的力量和价值。通过团队合作和决心，他们证明了年龄并不会阻碍做出有意义的贡献。相反，他们的努力表明，做出改变永远都不晚。)”可知，文章通过讲述OLAUG组织的故事，主要传达了老年人在社会中仍然可以发挥积极且有意义的作用的信息。 C Living at high altitudes has long been associated with a lower risk of diabetes (糖尿病), but the reason behind this connection has remained unclear. A new study led by researchers in the US may have found the answer. Their findings suggest that under conditions of chronic low oxygen, red blood cells take in three times more glucose (葡萄糖) than usual, helping to lower blood sugar levels. This discovery challenges the traditional view that red blood cells play only a minor role in energy balance. In experiments, mice exposed to low-oxygen environments showed lower blood glucose levels, yet the sugar was not found in expected organs such as the muscles, brain, or liver. Using advanced imaging techniques, the team discovered that red blood cells were acting as major glucose absorbers. According to biochemist Isha Jain, this reveals a previously overlooked aspect of glucose metabolism (新陈代谢). The researchers also identified a specific molecule (分子) that influences hemoglobin (血红蛋白), the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. This molecule loosens hemoglobin’s hold on oxygen, improving oxygen delivery to tissues while increasing glucose consumption. “Red blood cells are usually thought of as passive oxygen carriers,” said biochemist Angelo D’ Alessandro. “Yet we found they can account for a large part of whole-body glucose use, especially under low oxygen.” Encouragingly, when the researchers gave a drug that simulates high-altitude effects to mice with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the animals’ high blood sugar levels were reversed. While treatments based on this discovery are still a long way off, the findings open new possibilities for managing diabetes. The study also offers insights into why Sherpas, who have lived at high altitudes for generations, do not typically show lower blood sugar levels — it may be due to genetic adaptations that prevent their red blood cells from becoming “glucose absorbers”. The researchers believe this is only the beginning of understanding how the body adapts to oxygen changes and how such mechanisms might be used to treat various diseases. 8. What did the researchers find about red blood cells under low-oxygen conditions? A. They reduce the amount of oxygen delivered to body tissues. B. They absorb a much larger amount of glucose than normal. C. They stop carrying oxygen and focus only on sugar uptake. D. They transform glucose into a form that cannot be used by the body. 9. What is the function of the specific molecule mentioned in paragraph 3? A. It increases the production of glucose in the liver. B. It blocks red blood cells from taking in too much sugar. C. It makes it easier for hemoglobin to release oxygen. D. It changes the structure of red blood cells permanently. 10. What does the passage suggest about the research findings? A. A new diabetes drug has already been developed for humans. B. The findings are unlikely to lead to any practical medical treatments. C. The drug experiment only worked on mice with no practical value at present. D. The research offers promising possibilities for future diabetes care. 11. What can be inferred about Sherpas from the last paragraph? A. Their blood sugar levels are typically higher than those of other high-altitude people. B. Their red blood cells naturally act like “glucose sponges” absorbing extra sugar. C. Their bodies have adaptive genetic changes that influence how glucose is absorbed. D. They are unable to adapt to low-oxygen environments over time. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了研究人员发现生活在高海拔地区与较低的糖尿病风险有关的原因，揭示了红细胞在低氧条件下吸收更多葡萄糖的现象，并探讨了这一发现对未来糖尿病治疗的可能性以及夏尔巴人的特殊情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Their findings suggest that under conditions of chronic low oxygen, red blood cells take in three times more glucose (葡萄糖) than usual, helping to lower blood sugar levels. (他们的发现表明，在长期低氧条件下，红细胞吸收的葡萄糖是平时的三倍，有助于降低血糖水平。)”可知，研究人员发现在低氧条件下，红细胞吸收的葡萄糖量比正常多得多。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers also identified a specific molecule (分子) that influences hemoglobin (血红蛋白), the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. This molecule loosens hemoglobin’s hold on oxygen, improving oxygen delivery to tissues while increasing glucose consumption. (研究人员还确定了一种特定的分子，这种分子会影响红细胞中携带氧气的蛋白质血红蛋白。这种分子会削弱血红蛋白对氧气的结合力，改善氧气向组织的输送，同时增加葡萄糖的消耗。)”可知，第三段提到的特定分子的作用是使血红蛋白更容易释放氧气。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Encouragingly, when the researchers gave a drug that simulates high-altitude effects to mice with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the animals’ high blood sugar levels were reversed. While treatments based on this discovery are still a long way off, the findings open new possibilities for managing diabetes. (令人鼓舞的是，当研究人员给患有1型和2型糖尿病的小鼠服用一种模拟高海拔效应的药物时，这些动物的高血糖水平得到了逆转。虽然基于这一发现的治疗方法还有很长的路要走，但这一发现为糖尿病的管理开辟了新的可能性。)”可知，文章表明这项研究为未来的糖尿病治疗提供了有希望的可能性。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study also offers insights into why Sherpas, who have lived at high altitudes for generations, do not typically show lower blood sugar levels — it may be due to genetic adaptations that prevent their red blood cells from becoming “glucose absorbers”. (这项研究还揭示了为什么世代居住在高海拔地区的夏尔巴人通常不会表现出较低的血糖水平——这可能是由于基因适应阻止了他们的红细胞成为“葡萄糖吸收者”。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出夏尔巴人的身体有适应性遗传变化，影响葡萄糖的吸收方式。 D When psychologists discuss boundaries (边界), they do not mean controlling others or avoiding relationship problems. Setting a boundary means changing your behavior according to your own rules. Such rules help express personal needs and build stronger connections with people, says therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab. To understand boundaries, consider a mother who often comments on her adult child’s weight. Asking her to stop is a request, not a boundary. Only when the request is ignored can a boundary be set. One effective approach, suggested by therapist KC Davis, involves refusing to internalize the other person’s opinion. “I don’t need to send her books; I don’t need to convince her that I’m healthy,” Davis explains. “I say ‘OK, Mom’ and move on.” Boundaries can also be expressed through clear statements — e.g., telling a disrespectful teenager, “I will not continue talking to someone abusing me” — or through silent actions, like not replying to an uncomfortable message. Setting boundaries strengthens relationships by drawing a line between one’s own needs and those of others, helping prevent emotional outbursts, says psychology professor Catherine A. Sanderson. In cases where the other person cannot meet one’s expectations, boundaries allow the relationship to remain satisfying. Davis recalls a friend who frequently failed to show up for planned meetings. Instead of trying to change her friend’s behavior, Davis stopped making frequent plans and adjusted her expectations, allowing their occasional visits to become genuinely enjoyable. Mental health experts identify three types of boundaries. Rigid boundaries involve avoiding close relationships and difficulty trusting others, while loose boundaries involve oversharing personal information, tolerating disrespect, and struggling to say no. Ideally, individuals should aim for healthy boundaries — valuing one’s own wants and needs, being open to close relationships when desired, and refusing when necessary. According to Tawwab, achieving balance and flexibility in boundary-setting is essential, as overly rigid or loose boundaries can damage relationships. 12. What does the second paragraph suggest about handling unwanted comments? A. The best response is to accept the other’s opinion. B. One should try to convince the other person to change. C. Making a request is usually the most effective first step. D. A boundary can be set without expecting the other to stop. 13. What can we learn from the story of Davis and her friend? A. Make more plans to test their reliability. B. Change hopes and stop pushing changes. C. End the friendship immediately if let down. D. Have a serious talk to change their behavior. 14. Which of the following is a characteristic of loose boundaries? A. Avoiding close relationships. B. Having difficulty trusting others. C. Finding it hard to refuse others. D. Valuing one’s own wants and needs. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare different types of boundaries. B. To criticize the overuse of psychological terms. C. To explain the true meaning of setting boundaries. D. To encourage readers to avoid close relationships. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了心理边界的真正含义，指出设定边界是改变自身行为而非控制他人，并阐述了其具体做法、对人际关系的积极影响以及三种不同的边界类型。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“One effective approach, suggested by therapist KC Davis, involves refusing to internalize the other person’s opinion. “I don’t need to send her books; I don’t need to convince her that I’m healthy,” Davis explains. “I say ‘OK, Mom’ and move on.”(心理咨询师 KC・戴维斯提出了一个行之有效的办法：不要把他人的看法放在心上。她解释道：“我没必要给她寄书，也不必费尽口舌证明自己状态良好。我只需回一句‘好的，妈妈’，然后该做什么就做什么。”)”可知，面对不想要的评论，通过拒绝内化对方的观点、调整自己的心态和反应，可以在不强迫对方停止的情况下设定边界。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Instead of trying to change her friend’s behavior, Davis stopped making frequent plans and adjusted her expectations, allowing their occasional visits to become genuinely enjoyable.(戴维斯没有试图改变她朋友的行为，而是停止了制订频繁的计划并调整了她的期望，这使得她们偶尔的相聚变得真正令人愉快。)”可知，从戴维斯和她朋友的故事中我们可以学到，当对方无法满足期望时，应调整自己的希望，停止试图推动对方改变，从而维持关系。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“loose boundaries involve oversharing personal information, tolerating disrespect, and struggling to say no.(松散的边界包括过度分享个人信息、容忍不尊重以及难以说不。)”可知，松散边界的一个特征是觉得很难拒绝别人。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“ Setting a boundary means changing your behavior according to your own rules.(设定边界意味着根据你自己的规则改变你的行为。)”并结合文章对边界定义的澄清、具体做法及分类的介绍可知，文章的主要目的是解释设定边界的真正含义。 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。 Why Read Classic Literature?

Among the lively atmosphere, Wanda Petronski, a poor Polish girl, with her unruly hair and a faded blue dress that showed signs of frequent wear, became the target of cruel jokes among her classmates. Each morning, as Wanda stepped into the classroom, a sudden silence would fall over the room. The abrupt silence was soon replaced by whispers and laughter. “Look, there’s Wanda,” Peggy would whisper to her friend Maggie, her eyes shining with mischief. Peggy, the most popular girl in class, was well-known for her sharp tongue and a good sense of fashion. Driven by a mix of boredom and meanness (恶意), she would call out, “How many dresses do you have now, Wanda?” Her voice was filled with pretended curiosity. Wanda would hesitate, her fingers nervously twisting her dress. “A hundred,” she would reply in a soft murmur; her voice was barely heard. Instantly, the classroom would erupt in laughter. “A hundred!” Peggy would shout, her laughter echoing through the room. “I bet they’re all made of paper!” The other students would join in, their cruel laughter filling the air. Wanda’s face would redden with awkward, and she would quickly lower her head, unable to meet anyone’s eyes. Miss Mason, their teacher, often tried to intervene. “That’s enough, class. Let’s start the lesson,” she would say firmly, attempting to restore order. But the damage had been done. Day after day, Peggy and her group of friends continued to make fun of Wanda, asking about her “hundred dresses” and making ill remarks about her plain clothes. One day, Miss Mason announced an exciting drawing contest. The theme was “Design a Dress,” and the winning entries would be displayed in the school hall. Peggy, confident in her artistic abilities, was determined to claim victory. 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。 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. Wanda won the first prize, for she had submitted 100 exquisite, uniquely detailed fashion design drawings. Each drawing was a masterpiece, featuring elaborate patterns and vivid colors that far exceeded the simple sketches of the other students. Peggy and the class stared in disbelief at the beautiful display of Wanda’s talent. But Wanda wasn’t there to see her triumph. She had been absent for days, likely due to classmates’ constant bad behavior. The classroom was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized how wrong they had been to laugh at her. Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. When they arrived, Wanda seemed surprised to see them. Peggy, her voice filled with regret, said, “Wanda, your drawings won! They’re amazing. We’re so sorry for being mean.” Maggie nodded in agreement. Wanda smiled gently and said, “It’s okay.” She then offered to give Peggy and Maggie some of her drawings. “I want you to have them,” she said. Her kindness touched their hearts. From that day on, Peggy and Maggie learned the importance of kindness and never judged others by their appearance again. Whenever anyone walked through the school hall and saw Wanda’s beautiful drawings, they were reminded of the power of forgiveness and the impact that a single act of kindness could have. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在Benton学校里，波兰贫困女孩Wanda因衣着朴素而遭受同学嘲笑，但最终凭借自己的绘画才华赢得绘画比赛并赢得同学们尊重与歉意的故事，传达了不应以貌取人、应尊重他人、善良与宽容的力量等深刻道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，Mason小姐公布了比赛结果，所有人都震惊了。”以及第二段首句内容“Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家。”可知，第一段可描写Wanda获得了一等奖，她提交了100副作品，但是Wanda因为同学们的嘲笑已经几天没有上学了。 ②由第二段首句内容“Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家。”可知，第二段可描写两人诚挚地向Wanda道了歉，也明白了善良的重要性。 2.续写线索：几天后，Mason小姐公布了比赛结果，所有人都震惊了——Wanda获得了一等奖，因为她提交了100副作品——每一幅作品都是杰作——但是Wanda却因为同学们的嘲笑几天没有来上学——所有人都陷入了沉默——Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家——她们告诉了Wanda这个好消息，并向Wanda道歉——从那天开始，两人明白了善良的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满了：be filled with/ be full of ②明白：realize/come to know ③打动：touch/ move/strike 情绪类 ①尴尬的：awkward/ embarrassing ②惊讶的：surprised/ astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】Each drawing was a masterpiece, featuring elaborate patterns and vivid colors that far exceeded the simple sketches of the other students.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The classroom was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized how wrong they had been to laugh at her.（运用了as引导的状语从句和how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
