One of these is the red phone box. The first red phone boxes appeared in 1926. They were designed by a famous architect. For many years, they were a common sight on British streets. But in the 1980s, they began to disappear. Why? Because mobile phones became popular, and people no longer needed public phones. Most of the phone boxes were taken to junkyards. However, some people wanted to save them. Tony Inglis, a businessman, bought hundreds of old phone boxes. His idea was to repair them and give them new uses. Soon, other people joined him. Today, these phone boxes have been turned into many useful things. In some villages, they have become small cafes or repair shops. In rural areas, where ambulances take a long time to arrive, some phone boxes now hold defibrillators — machines that can save a person’s life in an emergency. Local groups can adopt a phone box for only £ 1 and put a defibrillator inside the box. Other people have found business chances. For example, a company called LoveFone turned a London phone box into a small workshop for repairing cellphones. The rent was very low, but the shop made around $ 13,500 a month. Tony Inglis said he loves bringing old things back to life. “I like what they mean to people,” he said. 4. Why did red phone boxes begin to disappear in the 1980s? A. They were poorly designed. B. People didn’t like their color. C. Mobile phones became popular. D. The government destroyed them. 5. What did Tony Inglis do to save the phone boxes? A. He asked the government for help. B. He bought many old phone boxes. C. He built new phone boxes. D. He wrote a book about them. 6. What is a “defibrillator” used for? A. Making phone calls. B. Repairing cellphones. C. Saving a person’s life. D. Cleaning the phone box. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of British Mobile Phones B. How to Build a Red Phone Box C. Why British People Like Cafes D. Bringing Old Phone Boxes Back to Life 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了英国红色电话亭的消失原因以及人们如何让旧电话亭重获新生 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But in the 1980s, they began to disappear. Why? Because mobile phones became popular, and people no longer needed public phones.(但在20世纪80年代，它们开始消失。为什么？因为手机变得流行起来，人们不再需要公用电话。)”可知，红色电话亭在20世纪80年代开始消失是因为手机变得流行起来。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Tony Inglis, a businessman, bought hundreds of old phone boxes. His idea was to repair them and give them new uses.(商人托尼·英格利斯买了数百个旧电话亭。他的想法是修复它们并赋予它们新的用途。)”可知，托尼·英格利斯为了拯救电话亭，买了许多旧电话亭。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In rural areas, where ambulances take a long time to arrive, some phone boxes now hold defibrillators— machines that can save a person’s life in an emergency.(在救护车需要很长时间才能到达的农村地区，一些电话亭现在配备了除颤器——一种可以在紧急情况下挽救人生命的机器。)”可知，除颤器用于挽救人的生命。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Tony Inglis said he loves bringing old things back to life. ‘I like what they mean to people,’ he said.(托尼·英格利斯说，他喜欢让旧事物重获新生。“我喜欢它们对人们意味着什么，”他说。)”可知，本文主要讲述了人们如何让旧电话亭重获新生。 C When community members first proposed teaching kindness in our Bexley High School, I recognized its importance but struggled to define its practice. Our strategic teaching plan already emphasized curiosity and justice, but kindness remained abstract. Until I attended the Greater Good Science Center’s 2024 Summer Institute, I discovered kindness wasn’t just a virtue but a science-backed strategy for improving mental health and school culture. As Bexley’s experiential learning leader, I was particularly struck by research showing how kindness reduces stress — something I hadn’t fully appreciated before. “I knew kindness was good,” I admitted, “but I didn’t realize how transformative it could be.” Returning inspired, I cooperated with our headteacher Jason Caudill to design “Cultivating Kindness: A Seminar”, an elective offered in 2025. Unlike traditional classes, it treats discussion, self-directed learning, and reflection as being more important than grades. Students set their own goals around well-being, joy, and service, with teachers guiding rather than determining their progress. To reduce pressure, the course doesn’t affect GPA (平均成绩点数) — an intentional choice to agree with its ideas. Yet challenges emerged. Competing student priorities and initial low enrollment (登记人数) threatened its carrying out. Caudill saw auspicious signs: student-led initiatives proved a growing appetite for compassion (同理心). “Our students desire connection,” he noted. “When a student struggles, we don’t assume it’s academic — we ask if it’s a relationship issue.” Though still in its early stages, Bexley’s kindness initiative has already reshaped conversations around students’ well-being. By grounding this approach in research while allowing flexibility, we created a framework other districts could adapt. Our journey proves that with intention and cooperation, kindness isn’t just a lesson — it’s a culture in the making. 8. Why was kindness initially difficult to teach in Bexley? A. It lacked clear teaching strategies. B. It needed science-backed practice. C. Its benefits were not fully realized. D. Its importance was often ignored. 9. How does the kindness course differ from traditional classes? A. It gives students extra credits. B. It prioritizes self-guided growth. C. It expects teachers to look on. D. It follows a consistent class goal. 10. What does the underlined word “auspicious” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Confusing. B. Difficult. C. Complicated. D. Promising. 11. What does Bexley’s practice show? A. Schools focus less on kindness. B. Kindness transforms school culture. C. Students desire classes on kindness. D. Research inspires flexible teaching. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了贝克斯利高中将善良教育纳入课程体系的经历，包括最初面临的困难、课程设计、遇到的挑战以及取得的成果，体现了善良教育对学校文化的积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When community members first proposed teaching kindness in our Bexley High School, I recognized its importance but struggled to define its practice. Our strategic teaching plan already emphasized curiosity and justice, but kindness remained abstract.(当社区成员首次提议在我们贝克斯利高中教授善良时，我认识到它的重要性，但难以定义其实践。我们的战略教学计划已经强调了好奇心和正义，但善良仍然是抽象的。)”可知，善良最初在贝克斯利很难教授是因为它缺乏明确的教学策略。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike traditional classes, it treats discussion, self-directed learning, and reflection as being more important than grades. Students set their own goals around well-being, joy, and service, with teachers guiding rather than determining their progress.(与传统课程不同，它将讨论、自主学习和反思视为比成绩更重要的东西。学生围绕幸福、快乐和服务设定自己的目标，老师指导而不是决定他们的进步。)”可知，善良课程与传统课程的不同之处在于它优先考虑自我引导的成长。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“student-led initiatives proved a growing appetite for compassion (同理心). “Our students desire connection,” he noted. “When a student struggles, we don’t assume it’s academic — we ask if it’s a relationship issue.”(由学生主导的倡议活动，印证了人们对同理心的需求正不断增长。“我们的学生渴望建立情感联结，”他指出，“当一名学生表现不佳时，我们不会想当然地认为是学业问题——我们会询问是否是人际关系方面出了状况。”)”可知，学生主导的倡议证明了对同理心的日益渴望，这对善良课程的开展是有利的，所以Caudill看到了有希望的迹象，故“auspicious”意思是“有希望的”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though still in its early stages, Bexley’s kindness initiative has already reshaped conversations around students’ well-being. By grounding this approach in research while allowing flexibility, we created a framework other districts could adapt. Our journey proves that with intention and cooperation, kindness isn’t just a lesson — it’s a culture in the making.(尽管仍处于早期阶段，贝克斯利的善良倡议已经重塑了围绕学生福祉的对话。通过将这种方法建立在研究的基础上，同时保持灵活性，我们创建了一个其他地区可以适应的框架。我们的历程证明，只要有意愿和合作，善良不仅仅是一堂课，它是一种正在形成的文化。)”可知，贝克斯利的实践表明善良改变了学校文化。故选B。 D The dawn singing of bird has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is an enduring mystery. Now, a series of experiments on zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness holds back singing, birds build up a strong motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn. Satoshi Kojima at the Korea Brain Research Institute and his colleagues studied lab-raised zebra finches in carefully-controlled lighting conditions. When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more actively than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less active. “The birds are already awake in the dark before the lights come on,” Kojima says. He notes that darkness subdues (压制) their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a burst of loud singing when lights come on. The researchers then gave the birds a drug called luzindole, which stops the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素). Melatonin is a hormone that helps control sleep and wake cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. Besides, analysis of the birds’ songs showed rapid changes in the song structure in the first hour after dawn compared to the second hour. “Because the birds do not sing during the night, their singing-related muscle system and song structure may become a little weaker, and the dawn chorus helps to quickly bring back or improve them,” says Kojima. While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.” 12. What does Kojima’s experiment in paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Finches’ singing strength relates to time staying in the dark. B. Lab-raised zebra finches are more sensitive to light changes. C. Earlier light exposure results in a more intense dawn chorus. D. Earlier light exposure makes the birds’ dawn chorus last longer. 13. According to paragraph 3, what effect does darkness have on the birds’ singing motivation? A. It increases their singing motivation. B. It reduces their singing motivation. C. It has no effect on their singing motivation. D. It completely destroys their singing motivation. 14. What can we learn from the experiment with luzindole? A. Luzindole improves birds’ singing-related muscle system. B. Melatonin showed no effect on the control group. C. Melatonin may prevent birds’ waking and singing. D. Luzindole directly lifts birds’ dawn-singing motivation. 15. What do Diego Gil’s words imply? A. More experiments are needed to confirm the assumption. B. The findings on zebra finches may not fit all bird species. C. All proposed assumptions about dawn chorus are unreliable. D. Species differences have no impact on dawn chorus patterns. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要通过对斑胸草雀的一系列实验，揭示了鸟类黎明合唱的原因——黑暗抑制唱歌的同时积累唱歌动机，天亮后动机反弹引发合唱；同时通过药物实验验证了褪黑激素的作用，最后指出该发现可能不适用于所有鸟类。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more actively than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less active.(当研究团队将突然暴露在强光下的时间推迟到实际黎明后三个小时时，这些处于清醒状态的斑胸草雀在黑暗中保持安静；一旦光线亮起，它们的鸣唱比平时更加活跃。然而，如果灯光比真正的黎明提前三个小时亮起，它们的合唱则没有那么活跃了)”可知，斑胸草雀在黑暗中停留的时间越长，天亮后的合唱强度越大，即合唱强度与在黑暗中停留的时间相关。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He notes that darkness subdues (压制) their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a burst of loud singing when lights come on.(他指出，黑暗会抑制它们原本强烈的歌唱欲望，而这种抑制反过来又会增强它们的歌唱动力，从而在灯光亮起时它们会爆发性地大声歌唱)”可知，黑暗会增强鸟类的歌唱积极性。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers then gave the birds a drug called luzindole, which stops the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素). Melatonin is a hormone that helps control sleep and wake cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group.(随后，研究人员给这些鸟服用了名为“鲁辛多尔”的药物，这种药物能够抑制褪黑激素的作用。褪黑激素是一种能帮助控制许多动物睡眠与清醒周期的激素。在正常灯光开启时间前五小时给这些鸟服用这种药物的鸟，比对照组的鸟醒得更快，而且它们开始鸣叫的时间也更早)”可知，鲁辛多尔阻断褪黑激素后，鸟儿醒得更快、唱歌更早，反向推导可得出褪黑激素可能阻止鸟儿觉醒和唱歌。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.”(虽然这项研究只考察了一个物种，但类似的驱动因素可能也适用于其他鸟类，他说。但西班牙马德里国家自然科学博物馆的Diego Gil提醒要谨慎。他说，不同物种之间存在“广泛的差异：鸟类在晨鸣中如何、何时以及唱什么”。“这就解释了为什么提出了11种不同的假设来理解这一现象。”)”可知，Diego Gil提醒要谨慎，因为不同鸟类在黎明合唱的方式、时间和内容上存在巨大差异，由此可推知斑胸草雀的研究发现可能不适用于所有鸟类。 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。 Music and health: what you need to know Can music be good for you?

He’d bought it decades ago in Paris, and often told her it captured their summers: chasing fireflies, eating strawberry shortcake by the lake, her first bike ride. But since grandpa’s weak heart diagnosis last year, things changed. He couldn’t walk far or talk long, and the camera — once a constant — was put in a dusty attic (阁楼) box, forgotten like an unfinished story. Last Saturday, mom had her clean the attic. Moving a pile of sweaters, her fingers brushed cold metal — the camera case. Dusting it off, the pine scent hit her, stinging her eyes. Opening it with a click, she saw the camera (lens still shiny, as if polished yesterday) and a small unopened film roll. Taped to it: grandpa’s messy handwriting, “For Lily — our 7th summer, the one with the rainbow.” Lily’s heart jumped — she remembered that summer well: they’d gotten caught in the rain picking blueberries, then a rainbow curved over the field. She’d begged for photos, but he laughed, “Save it for later, kiddo.” Now “later” came. Glancing back, under the camera, she found a faded brown developing kit, labeled: “Emergency film developing.” Suddenly she recalled how he’d taught her to develop film in the bathroom sink as a kid — now, she knew what she should do. 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。 Paragraph1: After developing the film roll, Lily rushed to her room and found an old photo printer. __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Lily held the photos and the camera tightly and ran to the hospital. ___________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: After developing the film roll, Lily rushed to her room and found an old photo printer. Her palms were sweaty, as she was afraid of messing up the precious memories hidden in the film. She carefully loaded the film roll into the machine — fingers still trembling — and clicked “print.” When the first photo slid out, she held her breath: 7-year-old her, soaked but grinning with a blueberry bucket, Grandpa’s hand holding an umbrella over her, the rainbow bright above. Her lips quivered slightly, and warm tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously. More photos followed, each stirring soft memories. She brushed a tear off the photo, heart warm with longing to show Grandpa. Paragraph 2: The next morning, Lily held the photos and the camera tightly and ran to the hospital. Her heart raced with both excitement and nervousness, wondering if Grandpa could still recognize those precious moments. Handing them to Grandpa, his tired eyes widened, and then softened. His fingers traced the rainbow gently, as if touching a fragile treasure, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “You were so small then,” he whispered. Lily placed the camera in his palm, and he seized it gently, adjusting the lens like old times. “Let’s take one together tomorrow,” he said. Lily leaned in, smiling through tears — this camera didn’t just bring back the past, but pulled them closer. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Lily一直喜爱爷爷的旧相机，它记录着他们的夏日时光。但爷爷生病后，相机被遗忘在阁楼。上周六Lily打扫阁楼时发现了相机、未开封的胶卷及显影套装，她决定按爷爷曾教的方法冲洗照片。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“冲洗完胶卷后，Lily冲回房间，找出一台旧照片打印机。”可知，第一段可以描写Lily冲洗胶卷后，急切又紧张地用旧照片打印机打印照片的动作和心理，打印出照片后看到童年回忆的动容场景，以及想把照片带给爷爷看的迫切心愿。 ②由第二段句首内容“第二天早上，Lily紧紧攥着照片和相机，跑向医院。”可知，第二段可以描写Lily带着照片和相机赶往医院的心情，把照片递给爷爷后，爷爷的神态、动作和语言，两人回忆过往并约定一起拍照，最后升华主旨：相机和照片不仅唤醒回忆，更拉近了祖孙间的距离。 2.续写线索：冲洗胶卷后打印照片 —— 紧张操作打印机 —— 看到照片回忆童年动容 —— 带着照片相机赶往医院 —— 爷爷看到照片的反应 —— 约定拍照、拉近祖孙距离 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①点击打印：click “print” /press the print button/tap print ②擦去泪水：brush a tear off/wipe away tears from ③递给某人某物：hand sth. to sb./give sth. to sb./pass sth. to sb. 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②紧张：nervousness/anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her heart raced with both excitement and nervousness, wondering if Grandpa could still recognize those precious moments.

B For many British people, it is hard to say goodbye to old things that represent their country’s past. One of these is the red phone box. The first red phone boxes appeared in 1926. They were designed by a famous architect. For many years, they were a common sight on British streets. But in the 1980s, they began to disappear. Why? Because mobile phones became popular, and people no longer needed public phones. Most of the phone boxes were taken to junkyards. However, some people wanted to save them. Tony Inglis, a businessman, bought hundreds of old phone boxes. His idea was to repair them and give them new uses. Soon, other people joined him. Today, these phone boxes have been turned into many useful things. In some villages, they have become small cafes or repair shops. In rural areas, where ambulances take a long time to arrive, some phone boxes now hold defibrillators — machines that can save a person’s life in an emergency. Local groups can adopt a phone box for only £ 1 and put a defibrillator inside the box. Other people have found business chances. For example, a company called LoveFone turned a London phone box into a small workshop for repairing cellphones. The rent was very low, but the shop made around $ 13,500 a month. Tony Inglis said he loves bringing old things back to life. “I like what they mean to people,” he said. 4. Why did red phone boxes begin to disappear in the 1980s? A. They were poorly designed. B. People didn’t like their color. C. Mobile phones became popular. D. The government destroyed them. 5. What did Tony Inglis do to save the phone boxes? A. He asked the government for help. B. He bought many old phone boxes. C. He built new phone boxes. D. He wrote a book about them. 6. What is a “defibrillator” used for? A. Making phone calls. B. Repairing cellphones. C. Saving a person’s life. D. Cleaning the phone box. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of British Mobile Phones B. How to Build a Red Phone Box C. Why British People Like Cafes D. Bringing Old Phone Boxes Back to Life C When community members first proposed teaching kindness in our Bexley High School, I recognized its importance but struggled to define its practice. Our strategic teaching plan already emphasized curiosity and justice, but kindness remained abstract. Until I attended the Greater Good Science Center’s 2024 Summer Institute, I discovered kindness wasn’t just a virtue but a science-backed strategy for improving mental health and school culture. As Bexley’s experiential learning leader, I was particularly struck by research showing how kindness reduces stress — something I hadn’t fully appreciated before. “I knew kindness was good,” I admitted, “but I didn’t realize how transformative it could be.” Returning inspired, I cooperated with our headteacher Jason Caudill to design “Cultivating Kindness: A Seminar”, an elective offered in 2025. Unlike traditional classes, it treats discussion, self-directed learning, and reflection as being more important than grades. Students set their own goals around well-being, joy, and service, with teachers guiding rather than determining their progress. To reduce pressure, the course doesn’t affect GPA (平均成绩点数) — an intentional choice to agree with its ideas. Yet challenges emerged. Competing student priorities and initial low enrollment (登记人数) threatened its carrying out. Caudill saw auspicious signs: student-led initiatives proved a growing appetite for compassion (同理心). “Our students desire connection,” he noted. “When a student struggles, we don’t assume it’s academic — we ask if it’s a relationship issue.” Though still in its early stages, Bexley’s kindness initiative has already reshaped conversations around students’ well-being. By grounding this approach in research while allowing flexibility, we created a framework other districts could adapt. Our journey proves that with intention and cooperation, kindness isn’t just a lesson — it’s a culture in the making. 8. Why was kindness initially difficult to teach in Bexley? A. It lacked clear teaching strategies. B. It needed science-backed practice. C. Its benefits were not fully realized. D. Its importance was often ignored. 9. How does the kindness course differ from traditional classes? A. It gives students extra credits. B. It prioritizes self-guided growth. C. It expects teachers to look on. D. It follows a consistent class goal. 10. What does the underlined word “auspicious” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Confusing. B. Difficult. C. Complicated. D. Promising. 11. What does Bexley’s practice show? A. Schools focus less on kindness. B. Kindness transforms school culture. C. Students desire classes on kindness. D. Research inspires flexible teaching. D The dawn singing of bird has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is an enduring mystery. Now, a series of experiments on zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness holds back singing, birds build up a strong motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn. Satoshi Kojima at the Korea Brain Research Institute and his colleagues studied lab-raised zebra finches in carefully-controlled lighting conditions. When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more actively than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less active. “The birds are already awake in the dark before the lights come on,” Kojima says. He notes that darkness subdues (压制) their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a burst of loud singing when lights come on. The researchers then gave the birds a drug called luzindole, which stops the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素). Melatonin is a hormone that helps control sleep and wake cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. Besides, analysis of the birds’ songs showed rapid changes in the song structure in the first hour after dawn compared to the second hour. “Because the birds do not sing during the night, their singing-related muscle system and song structure may become a little weaker, and the dawn chorus helps to quickly bring back or improve them,” says Kojima. While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.” 12. What does Kojima’s experiment in paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Finches’ singing strength relates to time staying in the dark. B. Lab-raised zebra finches are more sensitive to light changes. C. Earlier light exposure results in a more intense dawn chorus. D. Earlier light exposure makes the birds’ dawn chorus last longer. 13. According to paragraph 3, what effect does darkness have on the birds’ singing motivation? A. It increases their singing motivation. B. It reduces their singing motivation. C. It has no effect on their singing motivation. D. It completely destroys their singing motivation. 14. What can we learn from the experiment with luzindole? A. Luzindole improves birds’ singing-related muscle system. B. Melatonin showed no effect on the control group. C. Melatonin may prevent birds’ waking and singing. D. Luzindole directly lifts birds’ dawn-singing motivation. 15. What do Diego Gil’s words imply? A. More experiments are needed to confirm the assumption. B. The findings on zebra finches may not fit all bird species. C. All proposed assumptions about dawn chorus are unreliable. D. Species differences have no impact on dawn chorus patterns. 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。 Music and health: what you need to know Can music be good for you?

He’d bought it decades ago in Paris, and often told her it captured their summers: chasing fireflies, eating strawberry shortcake by the lake, her first bike ride. But since grandpa’s weak heart diagnosis last year, things changed. He couldn’t walk far or talk long, and the camera — once a constant — was put in a dusty attic (阁楼) box, forgotten like an unfinished story. Last Saturday, mom had her clean the attic. Moving a pile of sweaters, her fingers brushed cold metal — the camera case. Dusting it off, the pine scent hit her, stinging her eyes. Opening it with a click, she saw the camera (lens still shiny, as if polished yesterday) and a small unopened film roll. Taped to it: grandpa’s messy handwriting, “For Lily — our 7th summer, the one with the rainbow.” Lily’s heart jumped — she remembered that summer well: they’d gotten caught in the rain picking blueberries, then a rainbow curved over the field. She’d begged for photos, but he laughed, “Save it for later, kiddo.” Now “later” came. Glancing back, under the camera, she found a faded brown developing kit, labeled: “Emergency film developing.” Suddenly she recalled how he’d taught her to develop film in the bathroom sink as a kid — now, she knew what she should do. 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。 Paragraph1: After developing the film roll, Lily rushed to her room and found an old photo printer. __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Lily held the photos and the camera tightly and ran to the hospital. ___________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
