In which part of a magazine would you most likely find this article? A. Cooking Good, Feeling Good. B. Breaking News. C. Embracing the World. D. The Opinion Corner. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了四个国际美食节，包括墨尔本美食美酒节、秘鲁美食节、芝加哥美食节和德国啤酒节，并分别阐述了它们的特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in Australia (Mar. 10-20)”部分“The Festival is Australia’s most famous culinary (美食的) event. Held annually, the festival features local produce, sustainable farming, and green wine-making practices.(该节日是澳大利亚最著名的美食活动。该节日每年举行一次，以当地农产品、可持续农业和绿色酿酒实践为特色)”与其它部分的比较可知，墨尔本美食节与其他节日不同之处在于它强调可持续农业和绿色酿酒实践，即推广生态友好理念。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Taste of Chicago in USA (Jul. 1-31)”部分“The festival showcases the diversity of Chicago’s culinary scene, offering everything from the city’s famous deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs to high-end international cuisine, suitable for all ages.(这个节日展示了芝加哥美食的多样性，从著名的深盘披萨和芝加哥式热狗到高端国际美食，应有尽有，适合所有年龄的人)”可知，芝加哥美食节提供适合所有年龄和口味的多样化美食，因此是有不同年龄和不同口味的一个大家庭的最佳选择。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For travelers who love food, attending an international food festival is a perfect way to experience different cultures. The table below lists four of the most famous festivals, each with its unique appeal. At these events, you can taste local specialties, watch cooking shows, and enjoy cultural performances.(对于热爱美食的旅行者来说，参加国际美食节是体验不同文化的绝佳方式。下面的表格列出了四个最著名的节日，每个节日都有其独特的吸引力。在这些活动中，你可以品尝当地特色美食，观看烹饪表演，欣赏文化表演)”可知，文章介绍了四个国际美食节，属于文化体验类内容，因此最可能出现在杂志的“拥抱世界”部分。 B At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 4. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 5. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 6. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍少年本杰明・戴维斯发现校园塑料垃圾堆积的环境问题，自主研发回收设备，将塑料瓶与3D打印废料加工为优质打印耗材，历经质疑与反复试验最终取得成功，并立志用创新行动助力环保、激励青少年关注现实问题。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room.(本杰明注意到学校美术室堆积着大量塑料垃圾，由此产生了研发灵感。)”可知，校园塑料垃圾问题促使他发明这台回收机器。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality.(与传统工业回收设备相比，他的设计能耗降低百分之七十，且产出耗材质量更高。)”可知，该机器具备节能的优势。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine.(他决心找到一个切实可行的解决方案，于是开始研究如何将废弃物转化为有价值的资源。在长达 18 个月的时间里，他一直耐心地在自己的车库里工作，进行研究、设计和建造各种模型，直到最终造出了一台小巧而先进的机器。)”可知，本杰明自主构思创新发明，体现creative(富有创造力的)；耗时十八个月反复研究改造、测试五十余个版本并坚持优化设备，体现committed(专注投入的)。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。全文核心讲述一名青少年利用发明将塑料废料转化为可用资源，变废为宝的故事。D项“一个青少年变废为宝”符合主题，适合用作标题。 C Outgoing personality traits are often associated with top corporate roles, but new research suggests businesses miss out when they fail to find and promote executives with more understated styles. Harvard Business School researcher Francesca Gino has found that introverts can play a crucial role in leading teams. She and her collaborators asked bosses to rate how extroverted they considered themselves and then studied how their teams worked. They found that extroverts were more dominant, drove conversations and were less receptive to new ideas. Introverts, on the other hand, listened to ideas, internalized them and were able to improve team performance. Gino said that introverts demonstrate superior performance when they are leading a team of proactive workers. It seems it's easier for extroverts to climb the corporate ladder, she noted. A 2009 study conducted by researchers found that 60 percent of top level executives displayed high levels of extroversion. But introverts clearly have something to offer, Gino said, citing examples of successful introverted leaders, such as Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. Extroverts feel more energized by social interactions whereas introverts are more energized by solitud — but this isn't necessarily linked to how shy or good at, say, public speaking, someone is, says Nancy Ancowitz, a business communication coach and author of Selfpromotion for Introverts: The Quiet Guide to Getting Ahead. Introverts can use simple cues to make sure their value is not overlooked, Ancowitz said. "Sometimes it's raising a finger, leaning forward, saying someone' s name — any of those cues can work. The important part is you need to be heard, you need to make your contributions known, otherwise you can get passed up for the raises and other people get the credit for your hard work.” Some·leadership traits might come a little bit more naturally to extroverts, according to Jennifer Kahnweiler, an executive coach. Kahnweiler, who defines introverts as low-key thinkers who are energized by solitude and prefer in-depth conversation to casual chatter, interviewed introverted executives who successfully climbed the corporate ranks. These leaders had learned to put careful thought into their social presentation at work and to manage expectations so that bosses and co-workers could see the up-side of their personal work style. The executives she studied had a hyperawareness about how they were viewed and managed it to their benefit. According to Gino of Harvard Business School, one of the key takeaways from her research is that anyone can learn to practice effective leadership. She found that regardless of their personality type, when pushed to try different styles, people were able to learn the positive leadership characteristics of both introverts and extroverts. 8. Unlike an extrovert, an introverted leader performs best when . A. he is engaged in meaningful conversations B. the workers he leads often take the initiatives C. he improves on the new ideas proposed by workers D. he becomes a collaborator to his boss and workers 9. Introverted leaders make their presence felt by . A. overcoming shyness in public speaking B. working hard and contributing to shared goals C. sending out verbal or nonverbal signals D. getting credit for what they have done 10. Like the extroverts, introverted leaders . A. tend to be low-key but efficient thinkers. B. know how to conduct conversation with workers. C. expect their workers and bosses to respect them. D. try to manage how other people look at them. 11. The new research mainly tells us that . A. introverts can also become great corporate leaders B. introverts should follow the examples of extroverts C. introverts should change their leadership styles D. the best leaders combine the styles of introverts and extroverts 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了性格内向的人在企业领导角色中的优势及作用，指出内向者也能成为优秀的企业领导者。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Gino said that introverts demonstrate superior performance when they are leading a team of proactive workers.(吉诺说，当内向者领导一群积极主动的员工时，他们会表现出卓越的表现。)”可知，与外向者不同，内向的领导者在领导主动工作的员工时表现最佳。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Introverts can use simple cues to make sure their value is not overlooked, Ancowitz said. ‘Sometimes it’s raising a finger, leaning forward, saying someone’s name — any of those cues can work. The important part is you need to be heard, you need to make your contributions known, otherwise you can get passed up for the raises and other people get the credit for your hard work.’(安科维茨说，内向的人可以用简单的暗示来确保自己的价值不被忽视。“有时候是举起一根手指，身体前倾，说出某人的名字——任何一种暗示都可以。重要的是你需要被听到，你需要让别人知道你的贡献，否则你会错过加薪的机会，而别人会为你的辛勤工作而获得赞誉。”)”可知，内向的领导者通过发出语言或非语言信号来让别人感受到他们的存在。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“These leaders had learned to put careful thought into their social presentation at work and to manage expectations so that bosses and co-workers could see the up-side of their personal work style. The executives she studied had a hyperawareness about how they were viewed and managed it to their benefit.(这些领导者学会了在工作中仔细思考自己的社交表现，和管理期望，以便老板和同事能够看到他们个人工作风格的优点。她研究的这些高管们非常清楚别人是如何看待他们的，并利用这一点为自己谋利。)”可知，像外向者一样，内向的领导者也试图管理别人对他们的看法。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据根据第一段“Outgoing personality traits are often associated with top corporate roles, but new research suggests businesses miss out when they fail to find and promote executives with more understated styles. Harvard Business School researcher Francesca Gino has found that introverts can play a crucial role in leading teams.(外向的性格特征通常与企业中的高层职位相关联，但新的研究表明，如果企业找不到并提拔风格较为低调的高管，就会错失良机。哈佛商学院研究员弗朗西斯卡·吉诺发现，内向者在领导团队方面可以发挥至关重要的作用。)”可知，新研究表明，企业如果未能发掘和提拔风格更为低调的内向型高管，就会错失良机。随后通过研究结果、具体例子和分析说明，论证了内向者也可以成为优秀的企业领导者。 D Are we about to use Gene Editing Technology to grow wings? Will we all be uploading our brains to the Amazon cloud? If you love science and engineering, sci-fi is the place you turn to imagine the answers. The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be amused. The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. The Blueprint Problem inspired a lot of early space programmes in the 1950s, which prioritised putting humans into space rather than exploring it remotely with robotic spacecraft. We were told AI would become our obedient servants and brilliant experts in so much sci-fi over the past century, making robocops and holographic (全息的) doctors seem inevitable — but they aren’t. Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. 12. The mention of “Palantir” serves to show that ________. A. Tolkien’s work has inspired real-world evil B. name-choosing is vital for a company’s image C. sci-fi serves as a practical guide for inventors D. the sci-fi story’s true message often goes unnoticed 13. What is the “Blueprint Problem” as described in paragraph 3? A. Having robots take over human jobs. B. Viewing sci-fi as a perfect future model. C. Expecting authors to engineer real tech. D. Favoring robots over astronauts in space. 14. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Sci-fi exposes the essence of things. B. Sci-fi is a rigid guide for future planning. C. Sci-fi is a mindset for re-examining reality. D. Sci-fi predicts specific technological outcomes. 15. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi B. The Hidden Dangers of Sci-Fi C. The Moral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi D. The Technological Fantasies of Sci-Fi 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们对科幻作品的两种主要误解方式，指出科幻作品并非未来的精确蓝图或实用指南，而是一种世界观，一种以事物不必保持现状为前提的解决问题的方式。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be amused.(我们先从较为简单的“折磨核心问题”说起。这个概念源于2021年的一条推文，指的是人们在阅读或观看科幻故事时，只关注其中的未来科技——而在原故事中，这些科技往往正是人类痛苦的根源——却忽略了故事真正的寓意。其结果就是，亿万富翁彼得·蒂尔参与创办了一家名为Palantir的公司，这个名字取自《指环王》中奇幻的“真知晶石”技术，而正是这些晶石将使用者引向邪恶与疯狂。Palantir的产品最近被用于对加沙的空袭。作者J.R.R.托尔金若在天有灵，想必不会觉得好笑)”可知，《指环王》告诫人们科技是人类痛苦的根源，而借用《指环王》中奇幻的“真知晶石”技术命名的 Palantir公司生产的产品却被用于对加沙的空袭，说明人们往往只关注科幻故事中的未来科技，而忽略了故事真正想要传达的信息。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. (人们误解科幻小说的第二种主要方式可以称为“蓝图问题”。本质上，这是一种错误的观念，即科幻小说为接下来会发生什么提供了一个精确的模型，如果我们模仿科幻小说中发生的事情，我们将迎来一个辉煌的未来)”可知，“蓝图问题”指的是将科幻视为未来完美模型的观点。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. (科幻小说不是地图，也不是处方。相反，它是一种世界观，一种以事物不必保持现状为前提的解决问题的方式。未来不是预先确定的；它是一个过程，人们正在积极地塑造它)”可知，作者在最后一段说科幻小说不是地图，也不是处方，相反，暗示科幻是一种重新审视现实的心态。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. (问题在于，许多人从这些对未来的想象中接收到了错误的信息)”、第二段中“There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem.(人们误读科幻主要有两种方式。我们先从较为简单的“折磨核心问题”说起)”和第三段“The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. (人们误解科幻小说的第二种主要方式可以称为“蓝图问题”)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们误读科幻作品的两种方式——Torment Nexus问题和Blueprint问题，并指出科幻的真正价值在于提供一种思维方式。故A项“The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi (科幻的误读陷阱)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 第二节(共12.5小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 Imagine this: A big earthquake is about to hit. The ground is still and the sky is clear. Humans go about their day, unaware of what’s coming. But the animals? They know. Dogs start barking uncontrollably and birds fly away in a confused mess. Even fish act strangely, swimming quickly in wild patterns. Hours later — disaster hits. ____16____ Months before a 7.3 magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Haicheng, China, in 1975, villagers reported snakes waking up and coming out in the dead of winter and dogs acting in an unusual way. ____17____ This decision saved thousands of lives. Similarly, before the disastrous Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, elephants were observed running inland and birds deserting their low-lying nesting areas. Many wild animals seemed to escape to safety. ____18____ The answer lies in their ability to pick up signals we don’t notice. Many animals have heightened sensitivity to vibrations (震动) in the ground. Elephants, for example, can sense earthquake waves through their feet. Changes in air pressure and electrostatic fields (静电场) provide other warning signals. Birds and insects are highly sensitive to air pressure, which often changes before hurricanes and tsunamis. ____19____ Dogs, known for their powerful noses, might pick up these slight chemical changes before humans. Do humans still have this instinct (本能)? Before modern technology, humans depended on natural instincts to survive. Have you ever had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen? Have you ever changed plans at the last minute, only to realize you avoided an accident? ____20____ But we ignore them and trust our reasoning. Animals don’t second-guess themselves — they just react. A. How do animals know? B. What signals do animals sense? C. Modern technology has made us forget these skills. D. Some scientists believe we still have potential survival instincts. E. Earthquakes sometimes send out gases from underground faults. F. The government took the warnings seriously and told people to leave. G. Real-world cases prove that animals can sense disasters before they hit. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】主要列举多地动物预知地震海啸的实例，分析动物感知灾难的原理，并探讨人类是否仍保留这类生存本能。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Dogs start barking uncontrollably and birds fly away in a confused mess. Even fish act strangely, swimming quickly in wild patterns. Hours later — disaster hits.(狗开始失控狂吠，鸟儿慌乱飞走，鱼儿游动异常，数小时后灾难降临。)”可知，前文描绘动物反常行为提前预示灾难的情景。G选项“Real-world cases prove that animals can sense disasters before they hit.(现实案例证明动物能在灾难来临前感知到危险。)”总结上文场景，总领下文真实事例，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Months before a 7.3 magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Haicheng, China, in 1975, villagers reported snakes waking up and coming out in the dead of winter and dogs acting in an unusual way (早在1975年中国海城发生7.3级大地震的数月前，村民们就发现，隆冬时节本该冬眠的蛇纷纷苏醒出洞，狗狗也出现了反常的行为。)”以及空后“This decision saved thousands of lives.(这一决定挽救了数千人的生命。)”可知，空格处应填入政府根据动物异常现象做出防灾举措。F选项“The government took the warnings seriously and told people to leave.(政府重视这一预警并通知民众撤离。)”承接前文动物反常迹象，照应后文挽救生命的结果，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空后“The answer lies in their ability to pick up signals we don’t notice.(答案在于它们能够捕捉到人类察觉不到的信号。)”可知，后文回答动物预知灾难的原因，空格处应为提出相关疑问。A选项“How do animals know?(动物是如何预知的？)”提出设问，引出下文原理分析，承上启下，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Dogs, known for their powerful noses, might pick up these slight chemical changes before humans.(嗅觉灵敏的狗能比人类提前察觉这些细微的化学变化。)”可知，后文提到化学变化，空格处应说明地震会释放相关气体。E选项“Earthquakes sometimes send out gases from underground faults.(地震有时会从地下断层释放出气体。)”为后文化学变化与狗狗嗅觉感知提供依据，衔接自然，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen? Have you ever changed plans at the last minute, only to realize you avoided an accident?(你是否曾有不祥预感、临时改计划从而避开意外？)”以及后文“But we ignore them and trust our reasoning.(但我们忽略本能，只相信理性判断。)”可知，空格处承接人类有莫名预感的现象，说明人类仍保有生存本能。D选项“Some scientists believe we still have potential survival instincts.(一些科学家认为我们仍拥有潜在的生存本能。)”衔接前后文，形成转折逻辑，符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用(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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The summer I turned 16, I decided to become a guitarist.

As the children of the observatory’s researchers, they were not strangers to those joyful Arctic creatures and often saw them happily leaping up and down, digging holes in the snow for warmth, and chasing after their prey. Of the two, Alex seemed to be more attached to those furry animals and formed a particularly strong bond with those lovely friends. “We’re not small kids, Alex. It’s high time we matured and stopped treating the foxes like pets,” Lily said. Alex said in disagreement, “But they seem to enjoy my petting and respond to me!” Smiling softly, Lily jokingly called him “a fox charmer”. But Alex just smiled and turned blind eyes to it. Suddenly, an urgent alarm set off, followed by flashing red lights, indicating there were troubles. Rushing to see what was happening, they discovered the surroundings were colder than ever, with frost beginning to form on the wall. Never had Lily seen such a sight in the observatory. “The heating system must have failed!” she exclaimed in disbelief. Wasting no time, Lily sent a message to their parents, who were doing fieldwork outside. Now, it was up to Lily and Alex to face the extreme cold themselves and survive the extreme cold until help arrived. As time went by, their bodies began to shake uncontrollably. “We must do something or we’ll freeze to death!” Lily cried loudly in desperation. With panic setting in, Alex noticed that the pack of foxes huddling together in the snow just now began to dig a snow hole. In a moment of inspiration, he remembered how the foxes would dig deep into the snow to protect themselves from the extreme cold, creating a warm environment beneath the frozen Arctic land. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “I’ve got an idea to keep us warm,” Alex smiled and comforted his sister. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After more than two hours, their parents came to their rescue. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “I’ve got an idea to keep us warm,” Alex smiled and comforted his sister. “We can dig a snow hole like the foxes. It’ll trap heat and protect us from the bitter cold.” Lily’s eyes lit up with hope. Together, they started digging into the snow, using their hands and whatever tools they could find. As they dug deeper, they felt the temperature around them rising slightly. Finally, they collapsed into the small snow cave they had created, hugging each other tightly for warmth. After more than two hours, their parents came to their rescue. Upon seeing the makeshift snow cave, their parents were both relieved and impressed. “You two are incredible,” their father said, his voice filled with pride. Lily and Alex were carefully pulled from the snow cave and wrapped in warm blankets. Sitting in the observatory’s emergency shelter, they couldn’t help but smile at each other, grateful for the unbreakable bond they shared. From that day on, they appreciated the Arctic foxes even more, not just for their beauty but for the valuable lesson the foxes had taught them about survival. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述 Lily和Alex 是北极狐观测站研究人员的孩子，他们对北极狐很熟悉，Alex尤其喜爱它们。一天，观测站警报响起，供暖系统故障，他们向在野外工作的父母发送消息后，只能自己想办法抵御严寒，此时Alex看到狐狸挖雪洞得到启发。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Alex 告诉 Lily 可以像狐狸一样挖雪洞来保暖，Lily 眼中燃起希望，两人开始动手挖洞，随着洞挖得越来越深，周围温度稍有上升，最后他们躲进雪洞相互拥抱取暖。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写两个多小时后父母赶来救援，看到雪洞既欣慰又感动，父亲夸赞他们，Lily 和 Alex 被救出裹上毛毯，从此更加感激北极狐，因为它们教会了自己生存的宝贵一课。 2.续写线索：Alex提出挖雪洞保暖——两人挖洞躲进取暖——父母赶来救援——夸赞孩子 ——孩子感激北极狐。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①保护：protect /preserve ②拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①感到宽慰的：relieved/comforted ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Sitting in the observatory’s emergency shelter, they couldn’t help but smile at each other, grateful for the unbreakable bond they shared.（运用了现在分词作状语以及省略关系词的定语从句） 【高分句型 2】As they dug deeper, they felt the temperature around them rising slightly.（运用了 as引导的时间状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 玉溪一中2025—2026学年下学期高二期中考 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并认真核准条形码上的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号及科目，在规定的位置贴好条形码。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，用黑色碳素笔将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What does the man suggest considering first?

B At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 4. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 5. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 6. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. C Outgoing personality traits are often associated with top corporate roles, but new research suggests businesses miss out when they fail to find and promote executives with more understated styles. Harvard Business School researcher Francesca Gino has found that introverts can play a crucial role in leading teams. She and her collaborators asked bosses to rate how extroverted they considered themselves and then studied how their teams worked. They found that extroverts were more dominant, drove conversations and were less receptive to new ideas. Introverts, on the other hand, listened to ideas, internalized them and were able to improve team performance. Gino said that introverts demonstrate superior performance when they are leading a team of proactive workers. It seems it's easier for extroverts to climb the corporate ladder, she noted. A 2009 study conducted by researchers found that 60 percent of top level executives displayed high levels of extroversion. But introverts clearly have something to offer, Gino said, citing examples of successful introverted leaders, such as Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. Extroverts feel more energized by social interactions whereas introverts are more energized by solitud — but this isn't necessarily linked to how shy or good at, say, public speaking, someone is, says Nancy Ancowitz, a business communication coach and author of Selfpromotion for Introverts: The Quiet Guide to Getting Ahead. Introverts can use simple cues to make sure their value is not overlooked, Ancowitz said. "Sometimes it's raising a finger, leaning forward, saying someone' s name — any of those cues can work. The important part is you need to be heard, you need to make your contributions known, otherwise you can get passed up for the raises and other people get the credit for your hard work.” Some·leadership traits might come a little bit more naturally to extroverts, according to Jennifer Kahnweiler, an executive coach. Kahnweiler, who defines introverts as low-key thinkers who are energized by solitude and prefer in-depth conversation to casual chatter, interviewed introverted executives who successfully climbed the corporate ranks. These leaders had learned to put careful thought into their social presentation at work and to manage expectations so that bosses and co-workers could see the up-side of their personal work style. The executives she studied had a hyperawareness about how they were viewed and managed it to their benefit. According to Gino of Harvard Business School, one of the key takeaways from her research is that anyone can learn to practice effective leadership. She found that regardless of their personality type, when pushed to try different styles, people were able to learn the positive leadership characteristics of both introverts and extroverts. 8. Unlike an extrovert, an introverted leader performs best when . A. he is engaged in meaningful conversations B. the workers he leads often take the initiatives C. he improves on the new ideas proposed by workers D. he becomes a collaborator to his boss and workers 9. Introverted leaders make their presence felt by .

Will we all be uploading our brains to the Amazon cloud? If you love science and engineering, sci-fi is the place you turn to imagine the answers. The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be amused. The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. The Blueprint Problem inspired a lot of early space programmes in the 1950s, which prioritised putting humans into space rather than exploring it remotely with robotic spacecraft. We were told AI would become our obedient servants and brilliant experts in so much sci-fi over the past century, making robocops and holographic (全息的) doctors seem inevitable — but they aren’t. Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. 12. The mention of “Palantir” serves to show that ________. A. Tolkien’s work has inspired real-world evil B. name-choosing is vital for a company’s image C. sci-fi serves as a practical guide for inventors D. the sci-fi story’s true message often goes unnoticed 13. What is the “Blueprint Problem” as described in paragraph 3? A. Having robots take over human jobs. B. Viewing sci-fi as a perfect future model. C. Expecting authors to engineer real tech. D. Favoring robots over astronauts in space. 14. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Sci-fi exposes the essence of things. B. Sci-fi is a rigid guide for future planning. C. Sci-fi is a mindset for re-examining reality. D. Sci-fi predicts specific technological outcomes. 15. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi B. The Hidden Dangers of Sci-Fi C. The Moral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi D. The Technological Fantasies of Sci-Fi 第二节(共12.5小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 Imagine this: A big earthquake is about to hit. The ground is still and the sky is clear. Humans go about their day, unaware of what’s coming. But the animals? They know. Dogs start barking uncontrollably and birds fly away in a confused mess. Even fish act strangely, swimming quickly in wild patterns. Hours later — disaster hits. ____16____ Months before a 7.3 magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Haicheng, China, in 1975, villagers reported snakes waking up and coming out in the dead of winter and dogs acting in an unusual way. ____17____ This decision saved thousands of lives. Similarly, before the disastrous Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, elephants were observed running inland and birds deserting their low-lying nesting areas. Many wild animals seemed to escape to safety. ____18____ The answer lies in their ability to pick up signals we don’t notice. Many animals have heightened sensitivity to vibrations (震动) in the ground. Elephants, for example, can sense earthquake waves through their feet. Changes in air pressure and electrostatic fields (静电场) provide other warning signals. Birds and insects are highly sensitive to air pressure, which often changes before hurricanes and tsunamis. ____19____ Dogs, known for their powerful noses, might pick up these slight chemical changes before humans. Do humans still have this instinct (本能)? Before modern technology, humans depended on natural instincts to survive. Have you ever had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen? Have you ever changed plans at the last minute, only to realize you avoided an accident? ____20____ But we ignore them and trust our reasoning. Animals don’t second-guess themselves — they just react. A. How do animals know? B. What signals do animals sense? C. Modern technology has made us forget these skills. D. Some scientists believe we still have potential survival instincts. E. Earthquakes sometimes send out gases from underground faults. F. The government took the warnings seriously and told people to leave. G. Real-world cases prove that animals can sense disasters before they hit. 第三部分 语言运用(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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The summer I turned 16, I decided to become a guitarist.

As the children of the observatory’s researchers, they were not strangers to those joyful Arctic creatures and often saw them happily leaping up and down, digging holes in the snow for warmth, and chasing after their prey. Of the two, Alex seemed to be more attached to those furry animals and formed a particularly strong bond with those lovely friends. “We’re not small kids, Alex. It’s high time we matured and stopped treating the foxes like pets,” Lily said. Alex said in disagreement, “But they seem to enjoy my petting and respond to me!” Smiling softly, Lily jokingly called him “a fox charmer”. But Alex just smiled and turned blind eyes to it. Suddenly, an urgent alarm set off, followed by flashing red lights, indicating there were troubles. Rushing to see what was happening, they discovered the surroundings were colder than ever, with frost beginning to form on the wall. Never had Lily seen such a sight in the observatory. “The heating system must have failed!” she exclaimed in disbelief. Wasting no time, Lily sent a message to their parents, who were doing fieldwork outside. Now, it was up to Lily and Alex to face the extreme cold themselves and survive the extreme cold until help arrived. As time went by, their bodies began to shake uncontrollably. “We must do something or we’ll freeze to death!” Lily cried loudly in desperation. With panic setting in, Alex noticed that the pack of foxes huddling together in the snow just now began to dig a snow hole. In a moment of inspiration, he remembered how the foxes would dig deep into the snow to protect themselves from the extreme cold, creating a warm environment beneath the frozen Arctic land. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “I’ve got an idea to keep us warm,” Alex smiled and comforted his sister. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After more than two hours, their parents came to their rescue. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
