Although he tried to help,he sometimes became frustrated.His critical words about my math skills slowly made me anxious and less confident. In school,my problems increased.A geometry (teacher's sharp words and my low grades seemed to prove my fears were true.My mother found a tutor,a college student.Even his clear explanations left my mind soon after he was gone.What stayed was a strong fear ofmath,a feeling many people now call"math anxiety". Yet life continued.I got married,raised three sons,and had a teaching career.When I chose to work for a doctoral degree in education,I knew I would need statistics.This time,however,I dealt with it differently.I was not that unsure young girl anymore.I asked for help,joined weekend study groups,and did not let my old fears control me. When the professor asked ifI had questions,I smiled and said yes-without feeling shy. Looking back,I understand the strongest limits were never really mine;they were the echoes (ofother people's doubts that I had let grow inside me.I did not become a medical doctor,but I earned a doctorate in a field I love.I managed to be a mother,a teacher,and a graduate student at the same time.This was not because I was naturally excellent at everything,but because I leamed to believe in my own ability to learn and improve. Now that I am older,I see that every challenge helped form who I am.If I could talk to my younger self,I would kindly tell her to trust her own voice earlier.Yet I regret nothing-every step,even the hard ones,led me to a life full of deep satisfaction and happiness. 24.What caused the author to find learning math challenging? A.Lack of parental support. B.Inability to know any concepts. C.Feelings ofunease and insecurity.D.Poor teaching methods at school. 25.What does the author intend to express in paragraph 3? A.Her transformation of attitude and methods. B.The importance of a supportive professor. C.The necessity for weekend study periods. D.Her successful marriage and family life. 26.What helped the author succeed in multiple roles? A.Natural talent. B.An easier career path. C.Complete independence. D.Self-belief in learning. 27.What is the author's attitude towards her past struggles now? A.Regretful. B.Grateful. C.Worried D.Excited. 高二英语 第4页共10页 C Consumers rely on various ways to pay daily expenses.The problem is that they tend to spend more with cashless payment methods in comparison to cash.This striking cashless effect has recently been confirmed by researchers from the University of Adelaide Led by PhD Student Lachlan Schomburgk,the research team analysed 71 published and unpublished studies from 17 countries,including data from more than 11,000 unique participants.They've found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status- signalling goods like jewellery,while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping. "Through this meta-analysis,we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker,which individual studies could not find.By doing this,we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies."Schomburgk explains. The findings indicate that consumers should be mindful ofhow they pay for goods or services,as this helps them spend less,especially critical in the current cost-of-living crisis.To avoid overspending,they're advised to carry cash instead of cards whenever possible as a self-control method.When using cash,they count and hand over notes and coins,making spending more noticeable.If nothing is physically handed over,it's easy to lose track ofhow much is spent. The study also provides useful insights for businesses and policymakers. "Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential,"Schomburgk says."And policymakers should communicate to individuals unfamiliar with cashless payments,such as people who don't have bank accounts,about the possibility of cashless methods to lead to overspending.” Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies ofnew payment methods,as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty.Studying these methods is vital to keep pace with the evolving payment ecosystem and deepen understanding ofmodem consumers'spending habits. 28.What has the study found about the cashless effect? A.It exists in acts of donation. B.It weakens with more cash use. C.It works in specific consumption. D.It links to the living cost crisis. 29.Why did the team adopt the meta-analysis? A.To break the limitations of single studies. B.To confirm factors causing the effect. C.To solve the overspending problem. D.To compare cash and cashless payments. 30.What does the underlined word"jeopardising"in Paragraph 5mean? A.Preserving. B.Risking C.Shifting. D.Boosting. 31.What can be inferred about new payments according to Schomburgk? A.They need to be popularized. B.They should be further studied. C.They are developing rapidly. D.They will affect spending habits. 高二英语 第5页共10页 ◇ Over the last 1,400 years,populations ofthe Yangtze finless porpoise (have dramatically declined in China.But intensive surveys of its range only span the last couple of decades,leaving lots of gaps in scientists'knowledge of the species.In a creative blend of art and science,a new study uses historical poetry to chart the critically endangered animal's population across the river it calls home. The finless porpoises once lived throughout the entire Yangtze River,which stretches from the Tibetan Plateau to the East China Sea.Now,the only known freshwater porpoise in the world has fewer than 1,800 individuals left in the wild. The research team combed through databases of Chinese poetry to find references to the porpoise and map its past distribution.They found 724 poems that mentioned the animal,of which half noted where the porpoises were observed.Their findings were published in Current Biology. "Having access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and correlate those changes with potential threats like habitat destruction,climate change,overhunting, disease or the introduction of invasive species,"says lead author Zhang Yaoyao,an ecologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The poems suggest the porpoise's range has decreased by 65%since the Tang dynasty.Most of that decline happened in the river's tributaries and lakes,where the animal's range has decreased by 91%.While the population decrease was mostly gradual, the sharpest decline has occurred over the past 100 years.That sudden drop is consistent with human activities on the river,especially dam construction in the 1950s that blocked off the porpoise's movement to and from the river's main channel. The work highlights the connection between culture and science."Poems are actually ancient citizen science,and many Chinese poets were 'well-educated intellectuals',"says Zhang."These data are not perfect...But they do have a lot of information if you use them correctly."This approach has potential for uncovering the pasts of other endangered species as well.Previously,scholars have used medieval and ancient texts to understand things like volcanic eruptions,auroras (and unusual whales. 32.What challenge do scientists face in their research about the porpoise? A.Its population has dropped offdramatically. B.Locating its habitats is increasingly difficult. C.Its population is hard to calculate precisely. D.The long-term historical data are insufficient. 33.What mainly contributed to the dramatic fall of the porpoise's populations? A.Climate changes over time. B.Human impacts on its habitats. C.Poor resistance to diseases. D.Competition with other species. 高二英语 第6页共10页 34.Why does the author mention"volcanic eruptions"in the last paragraph? A.To show major threats to endangered wildlife. B.To prove the value ofancient texts in research. C.To reveal the wisdom of ancient Chinese poets. D.To introduce challenges in ecological research. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Historical Poems:Records of Ancient Chinese Wildlife B.Citizen Science:A New Approach to Protecting Animals C.Ancient Poetry:A Creative Way to Study Endangered Porpoise D.The Yangtze Finless Porpoise:A Critically Endangered Species 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。其中有两项为多余选 项。 Cultures,customs,and beliefs vary entirely worldwide.If there's one thing all cultures have in common,it's art.And art reflects the human experience and provides insight into its values and beliefs. Art has been a significant part of many cultures for centuries.It has been used to express faith,emotions,personal histories,and special occasions.It can be found in religious ceremonies worldwide.36People are using art to add color and meaning to their lives. 37 It allows people to dig into their emotions and then share their tales and emotions with the rest ofthe world.Whether you're talking about a painting or sculpture, each allows you to explore and express your inner self. Some of the most impactful art pieces were created centuries ago.38The familiar smile and unique charm have become a permanent part of popular culture. Another classic example is The Last Supper also by Da Vinci.This painting conveys the emotion between Jesus and his apostles with remarkable accuracy.39 The digital age has changed the way we perceive artwork.Rather than looking at motionless objects in a museum,virtual reality may transport us to artificial,computer- generated settings with a visually spectacular interactive artwork.40 These technological advancements have significantly impacted art. The power of art to influence how we live,think,and interact with one another is undeniable.It can transform culture,communication,and expression,providing us with a platform to explore innovative solutions and push the boundaries of what is possible. A.Artwork is an essential part in digital age. B.Exploring your inner selfis ofvital importance. C.In smaller aspects,it can be seen in people's daily life. D.Art is a beautiful way to express feelings and thoughts. E.Even today,it continues to move viewers with its powerful imagery. F.Perhaps none is more celebrated than Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. G.Likewise,artists now use tools such as Photoshop to produce complicated works. 高二英语 第7页共10页 第三部分完形填空（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 A magazine article said that people begin to look like their parents around age 43.
