It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides (杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition, the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed. Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania, where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology, which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing. Before Silent Spring, Carson was a marine biologist and writer. She spent four years carefully researching for the book, gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides. She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts. Knowing her work would be criticized, Carson believed the public had the right to know the truth. She continued her efforts even while she was sick, and she died in 1964. However, her influence lived on. Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement, led to the ban of DDT in the U.S., and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist. 4. Why did chemical companies campaign against Silent Spring? A. They found numerous scientific errors in the book. B. Carson refused to share her research data with them. C. They believed the book would confuse the general public. D. Carson’s warnings posed a threat to their business interests. 5. How did Carson’s personal background contribute to her environmental work? A. Her career as a writer provided her with the funding needed for research. B. Her work as a marine biologist directly exposed her to pesticide pollution. C. Her family’s farm gave her practical experience in using agricultural chemicals. D. Her childhood experiences and formal education in biology shaped her advocacy. 6. The text suggests that Carson’s research for the book was characterized by its ________. A. comprehensiveness and various sources B. reliance on government reports C. focus on theoretical models D. speed and efficiency 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The scientific process behind banning DDT. B. The remarkable and lasting impacts of Rachel Carson’s book. C. The history of pesticide use in the United States. D. The debate between environmentalists and chemical companies. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述1962年美国生物学家蕾切尔·卡森出版《寂静的春天》，该书警示无节制使用杀虫剂对环境的危害，引发了广泛争议。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices.(化工企业对此强烈反对，因为卡森的警告可能会威胁到他们现有的盈利模式)”可知，化学公司反对《寂静的春天》是因为卡森的警告对他们的商业利益构成了威胁，故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania, where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology, which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing.(卡森与大自然的深厚联系始于她童年时期在宾夕法尼亚州的经历。在那里，她经常在自家附近的森林和溪流中探险。这份热爱促使她学习了生物学，而这些知识后来也帮助她用于自己的写作中)”可知，卡森童年的经历和生物学方面的正规教育塑造了她对环保事业的倡导，故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She spent four years carefully researching for the book, gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides.(她花了四年时间对该书进行了详尽的研究，从科学研究中收集证据，并与那些亲眼目睹过农药影响的农民和渔民进行了交流)”可知，卡森为这本书做的研究全面且资料来源多样，故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book that would change how people viewed nature. It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides (杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition, the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed.( 1962年，美国生物学家蕾切尔·卡森出版了《寂静的春天》一书，这本书彻底改变了人们对自然的看法。书中警告称，有害且不受控制地使用杀虫剂正在污染环境，并可能导致一个没有鸟鸣声的“寂静春天”。这本书引发了激烈的争论。化学公司强烈反对这本书，因为卡森的警告威胁到了他们既定且盈利的生产方式。尽管面临这种反对，这本书还是提高了全球对自然容易受到损害这一现象的认识)”可知，文章围绕蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》展开，讲述了书的内容、引发的争议、卡森的背景及研究过程，还提到书带来的持久影响，可知，这篇文章的主要观点是蕾切尔·卡森的作品所产生的显著且持久的影响。故选B项。 C It was the summer before junior year. I was a waitress at a little restaurant. My duties were straightforward: taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks, and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible. These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer. They’re what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs. I developed those skills. But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working. So much happened in the interstitial (空隙的) time and spaces between our roles as waitresses, cooks and customers. This is where I think the value of a high school job lies: learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known. High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes, and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school. But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school. This relief came not from avoiding people, but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school. The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them, learn from them, and love them. 8. What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work? A. Earning money for college. B. Learning to form a community. C. Developing responsibility and skills. D. Making friends with different people. 9. What does the author say about high school life? A. It lacks meaningful activities. B. It focuses on academics. C. It is highly school-centered. D. It provides adequate social opportunities. 10. What did the author learn from people at the restaurant? A. Friends should share similar interests. B. Workplace relationships are temporary. C. True friendship requires constant agreement. D. Meaningful connections can bridge differences. 11. What is the author’s main conclusion about her job experience? A. It helped improve her academic performance. B. Its greatest value went beyond skill development. C. It confirmed traditional views about student jobs. D. Its main benefit was earning teachers’ approval. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己暑假在餐厅做服务员的经历，说明高中生打工的真正价值不仅在于培养技能与责任感，更在于学会与不同的人建立联结、拓展社交圈。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer.(这些价值观和技能是众多研究认为青少年应该在暑期打工的重要原因。)”以及第一段中“My duties were straightforward: taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks, and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible.(我的工作职责很简单：点餐、上菜、清理餐桌。我变得非常擅长同时处理多项任务，而肩负诸多责任也让我更有责任心了。)” 可知，人们普遍认为青少年打工的主要好处是培养责任感和技能。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes, and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school.(高中生每天大约上7小时课，之后还常常参加校内体育或活动。沉浸在校园生活中未必是坏事。)”可知，作者认为高中生活高度以学校为中心。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them, learn from them, and love them.(我在餐厅遇到的人让我明白，你可以和比你年长几十岁、兴趣爱好完全不同的人成为朋友。他们让我懂得，即使与他人意见分歧很大，依然可以尊重、学习并关爱对方。)”可知，作者学到有意义的关系可以跨越差异。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working.(但我认为那并不是高中生打工的主要收获。)”和第三段“This is where I think the value of a high school job lies: learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known.(我认为高中生打工的价值在于：学会与原本不可能认识的人建立群体联结。)”可知，作者认为这份经历最大的价值远超技能培养。故选B项。 D Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline. In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes — such as rays, skates, and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 12. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining. 13. Retention bans require fishermen to ________. A. avoid fishing in shark habitats B. release accidentally caught sharks C. use special equipment to protect sharks D. limit the number of sharks caught per year 14. Which sharks are most likely to die after being released? A. Deep-water species. B. Large species near the coast. C. Those living in shallow waters. D. Species with slow reproductive rates. 15. What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about? A. Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively. B. Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful. C. The retention bans need to be changed completely. D. Focusing only on young sharks is important. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于捕鱼活动，鲨鱼正以惊人的速度死亡，留存禁令不足以有效保护鲨鱼，需采取综合措施。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction.(全球近三分之一的鲨鱼物种面临灭绝威胁)”可知，鲨鱼死亡情况严重，“staggering”在此处应表示“惊人的，令人震惊的”，与“Alarming”意思相符。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks.(作为回应，区域渔业管理组织引入了留存禁令，要求渔民释放意外捕获的鲨鱼)”可知，留存禁令要求渔民释放意外捕获的鲨鱼。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe.(他们的发现显示，某些群体的鲨鱼在放生后的死亡率特别高：体型较小的鲨鱼、深水物种以及需要不断游动才能呼吸的鲨鱼)”可知，深水物种的鲨鱼放生后最有可能死亡。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures.(作者强调，留存禁令是良好的第一步，但必须与其他措施相结合)”以及后面提到的其他措施可知，本段主要讲需要更广泛的措施来有效保护鲨鱼。故选A。 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。 We all know that protecting our eyes is important. However, many students tend to ignore the warning signs of eye tiredness. ____16____ Nowadays, eye overuse has become a very common phenomenon. ____17____ It usually results from not following the 20-20-20 rule (looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes), studying in poor lighting conditions, holding books too close to your eyes, or not blinking (眨眼) enough while focusing. What happens when you don’t give your eyes enough rest? In the short term, it can cause eye strain (疲劳) and headaches. The discomfort associated with eye overuse can lead to difficulty concentrating, reduced learning efficiency, and a lack of interest in reading. ____18____ Such discomfort typically includes dry eyes, blurred vision, and increased sensitivity to light. In the long term, it can potentially worsen nearsightedness. While eye strain can be troubling, the good news is that you can prevent most of these problems. ____19____ Specifically, start practicing the 20-20-20 rule today, which may be simple enough to help your eyes relax and maintain good eyesight. After you’ve formed this good habit, make sure you’re also maintaining proper reading distance and lighting. If you drove a car without ever checking the engine, you’d eventually break down, right? The same goes for your eyes. Just like a car, your eyes need proper care and regular maintenance to keep functioning well — not only when you use them intensively during study sessions but throughout your entire daily life. ____20____ A. Therefore, be cautious during your study time. B. The first thing you can do is develop good habits. C. You may also experience physical eye discomfort. D. Eye overuse means not giving your eyes enough rest. E. In fact, ignoring eye discomfort can lead to serious problems. F. Wearing proper glasses is essential if you have vision problems. G. So, give them proper rest, nutritious support, and professional care when needed. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了许多学生忽视眼疲劳，过度用眼会引发短期不适甚至加重近视。文章分析其原因，并建议养成良好习惯，好好呵护、保养眼睛。 【16题详解】 前文“However, many students tend to ignore the warning signs of eye tiredness.(然而，许多学生往往会忽视眼睛疲劳的预警信号)”提到学生忽视眼疲劳的预警信号，E项“In fact, ignoring eye discomfort can lead to serious problems.(事实上，忽视眼部不适会引发严重问题)”承接上文，同时引出后文 “过度用眼已十分普遍” 的现象，逻辑连贯。故选E项。 【17题详解】 后文“It usually results from not following the 20-20-20 rule (looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes), studying in poor lighting conditions, holding books too close to your eyes, or not blinking (眨眼) enough while focusing.(这通常是由没有遵循20-20-20规则（每20分钟看20英尺远的东西20秒）、在光线不佳的环境中学习、将书本拿得离眼睛太近或者在集中注意力时眨眼不够多所导致的)”详细解释了过度用眼的多种成因，D项 “Eye overuse means not giving your eyes enough rest.(过度用眼意味着不让眼睛得到充分休息)”先对核心概念下定义，总领下文的原因分析。故选D项。 【18题详解】 后文“Such discomfort typically includes dry eyes, blurred vision, and increased sensitivity to light.(这种不适通常表现为眼睛干涩、视力模糊以及对光线的敏感度增加)”指代前文的眼部不适，C项“You may also experience physical eye discomfort.(你可能还会感到眼部生理不适)”引出干眼、视力模糊等具体不适症状，与后文形成指代衔接。故选C项。 【19题详解】 前文“While eye strain can be troubling, the good news is that you can prevent most of these problems.(虽然眼睛疲劳令人烦恼，但好消息是，你可以预防大多数此类问题)”提出可以预防眼部问题，后文“Specifically, start practicing the 20-20-20 rule today, which may be simple enough to help your eyes relax and maintain good eyesight.( 具体来说，从今天开始就实行20-20-20规则，这个规则可能简单到足以帮助您的眼睛放松并保持良好的视力)”具体介绍20-20-20规则等好习惯，B 项“The first thing you can do is develop good habits.(你能做的第一件事就是养成好习惯)”引出下文的具体做法，衔接自然。故选B项。 【20题详解】 前文“Just like a car, your eyes need proper care and regular maintenance to keep functioning well — not only when you use them intensively during study sessions but throughout your entire daily life.(就像汽车一样，你的双眼也需要得到适当的保养和定期维护，以保持良好的工作状态——不仅在学习期间高强度使用时需要如此，而且在你整个日常生活中也是如此)”将眼睛比作汽车，强调需要日常呵护，G项“So, give them proper rest, nutritious support, and professional care when needed.(因此，给予它们充足休息、营养支持，必要时寻求专业护理)”总结全文，给出护眼的具体建议，收束文段。故选G项。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In Westmoreland, Tennessee, a potentially dangerous situation turned into a heartwarming success, all thanks to teamwork and modern technology.

Last year, my dream came true when I joined a course for flying with a parachute (滑翔伞) in the mountains. My instructor, Karl, was a patient and experienced teacher. During our ground training on a small hill, he repeated his most important lessons: “If you get into trouble, first, stay calm. Second, listen to my voice. Most importantly, you must have gentle but firm control over the controls. And remember to slow down just before landing. One more thing — be ready to change your plan. If your direction changes, look for the nearest open space to land.” I learned to trust him completely. It was this trust that saved me once. It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. As we took the cable car up, Karl pointed to a large, open field far below. “That is our target landing zone,” he said. At the launch site, he checked my equipment and gave me a confident smile. “The wind is perfect. Just run straight ahead and don’t stop. I will be right here on your radio, guiding you.” His presence made me feel safe. I took a deep breath and ran. The wind lifted me, and I was flying! The view was breathtaking. I felt a strong sense of freedom, but I kept Karl’s voice in my mind, carefully following his gentle directions through the radio. However, the mountain weather changed instantly. Dark clouds gathered, and the friendly wind turned into a roaring monster, shaking my wing. Karl’s voice became urgent. “Lisa, bad weather is coming! You must land now! Try to turn towards the large field and keep in touch with me!” I tried, but a powerful wind caught my wing, pushing me wildly off course. The safe field slipped away, and the dark outline of a large forest rushed toward me. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I struggled to control my parachute in the strong wind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, I saw that small open area below that Karl just said. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I struggled to control my parachute in the strong wind. Fear filled my heart as the forest came closer and closer. My hands shook, but Karl’s calm voice helped me. “Lisa, you can do this. Remember your training,” he said. His words gave me strength. I tried to breathe slowly and stay focused. The wind was strong, but Karl was with me, guiding me. Then I heard him say, “Look for any open space below. There might be a small clearing near the forest.” Suddenly, I saw that small open area below that Karl just said. New hope rose in my heart. I quickly told Karl through the radio, “I see it! I see the clearing!” “Yes! Go there!” Karl’s voice was full of support. I tried my best to move toward it. The ground came up fast, and I remembered Karl’s words: stay calm. I landed hard but safely in the clearing. My legs were shaking as I sat on the grass. “You did it!” Karl said through the radio. Tears ran down my face. I had learned to trust—in Karl and in myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述 “我”一直梦想飞行，去年参加了山区滑翔伞飞行课程，在教练卡尔耐心且经验丰富的教导下完成地面训练。一次飞行时，天气突变，原本的目标着陆区消失，“我” 被强风推向森林。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“狂风中，我拼命想控制住降落伞。”可知，第一段可描写“我”在强风中艰难控制滑翔伞，森林越来越近，内心充满恐惧，手也颤抖，但卡尔平静的声音给 “我”力量，让“我”专注，随后他提醒“我”寻找森林附近的空旷区域。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，我看到了下方卡尔刚才提到的那一小块空地。”可知，第二段可描写“我”看到卡尔提到的小空旷区域，心中燃起新希望，通过无线电告知卡尔，在他的支持下尽力飞向那里，最终安全着陆，“我”学会了信任卡尔和自己。 2.续写线索：强风中控制滑翔伞艰难——卡尔声音给力量并提醒找空旷区域——看到空旷区域——告知卡尔并飞向那里——安全着陆学会信任。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②指导：guide/direct ③颤抖：shake /tremble 情绪类 ①冷静的：calm/composed ②希望：hope/desire/wish 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Fear filled my heart as the forest came closer and closer.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】The wind was strong, but Karl was with me, guiding me.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026高二期中学生能力评价 英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间 120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：至选择性必修第三册。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 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.

B In 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book that would change how people viewed nature. It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides (杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition, the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed. Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania, where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology, which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing. Before Silent Spring, Carson was a marine biologist and writer. She spent four years carefully researching for the book, gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides. She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts. Knowing her work would be criticized, Carson believed the public had the right to know the truth. She continued her efforts even while she was sick, and she died in 1964. However, her influence lived on. Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement, led to the ban of DDT in the U.S., and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist. 4. Why did chemical companies campaign against Silent Spring? A. They found numerous scientific errors in the book. B. Carson refused to share her research data with them. C. They believed the book would confuse the general public. D. Carson’s warnings posed a threat to their business interests. 5. How did Carson’s personal background contribute to her environmental work? A. Her career as a writer provided her with the funding needed for research. B. Her work as a marine biologist directly exposed her to pesticide pollution. C. Her family’s farm gave her practical experience in using agricultural chemicals. D. Her childhood experiences and formal education in biology shaped her advocacy. 6. The text suggests that Carson’s research for the book was characterized by its ________. A. comprehensiveness and various sources B. reliance on government reports C. focus on theoretical models D. speed and efficiency 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The scientific process behind banning DDT. B. The remarkable and lasting impacts of Rachel Carson’s book. C. The history of pesticide use in the United States. D. The debate between environmentalists and chemical companies. C It was the summer before junior year. I was a waitress at a little restaurant. My duties were straightforward: taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks, and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible. These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer. They’re what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs. I developed those skills. But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working. So much happened in the interstitial (空隙的) time and spaces between our roles as waitresses, cooks and customers. This is where I think the value of a high school job lies: learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known. High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes, and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school. But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school. This relief came not from avoiding people, but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school. The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them, learn from them, and love them. 8. What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work? A. Earning money for college. B. Learning to form a community. C. Developing responsibility and skills. D. Making friends with different people. 9. What does the author say about high school life? A. It lacks meaningful activities. B. It focuses on academics. C. It is highly school-centered. D. It provides adequate social opportunities. 10. What did the author learn from people at the restaurant? A. Friends should share similar interests. B. Workplace relationships are temporary. C. True friendship requires constant agreement. D. Meaningful connections can bridge differences. 11. What is the author’s main conclusion about her job experience? A. It helped improve her academic performance. B. Its greatest value went beyond skill development. C. It confirmed traditional views about student jobs. D. Its main benefit was earning teachers’ approval. D Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline. In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes — such as rays, skates, and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 12. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining. 13. Retention bans require fishermen to ________.

However, many students tend to ignore the warning signs of eye tiredness. ____16____ Nowadays, eye overuse has become a very common phenomenon. ____17____ It usually results from not following the 20-20-20 rule (looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes), studying in poor lighting conditions, holding books too close to your eyes, or not blinking (眨眼) enough while focusing. What happens when you don’t give your eyes enough rest? In the short term, it can cause eye strain (疲劳) and headaches. The discomfort associated with eye overuse can lead to difficulty concentrating, reduced learning efficiency, and a lack of interest in reading. ____18____ Such discomfort typically includes dry eyes, blurred vision, and increased sensitivity to light. In the long term, it can potentially worsen nearsightedness. While eye strain can be troubling, the good news is that you can prevent most of these problems. ____19____ Specifically, start practicing the 20-20-20 rule today, which may be simple enough to help your eyes relax and maintain good eyesight. After you’ve formed this good habit, make sure you’re also maintaining proper reading distance and lighting. If you drove a car without ever checking the engine, you’d eventually break down, right? The same goes for your eyes. Just like a car, your eyes need proper care and regular maintenance to keep functioning well — not only when you use them intensively during study sessions but throughout your entire daily life. ____20____ A. Therefore, be cautious during your study time. B. The first thing you can do is develop good habits. C. You may also experience physical eye discomfort. D. Eye overuse means not giving your eyes enough rest. E. In fact, ignoring eye discomfort can lead to serious problems. F. Wearing proper glasses is essential if you have vision problems. G.

Last year, my dream came true when I joined a course for flying with a parachute (滑翔伞) in the mountains. My instructor, Karl, was a patient and experienced teacher. During our ground training on a small hill, he repeated his most important lessons: “If you get into trouble, first, stay calm. Second, listen to my voice. Most importantly, you must have gentle but firm control over the controls. And remember to slow down just before landing. One more thing — be ready to change your plan. If your direction changes, look for the nearest open space to land.” I learned to trust him completely. It was this trust that saved me once. It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. As we took the cable car up, Karl pointed to a large, open field far below. “That is our target landing zone,” he said. At the launch site, he checked my equipment and gave me a confident smile. “The wind is perfect. Just run straight ahead and don’t stop. I will be right here on your radio, guiding you.” His presence made me feel safe. I took a deep breath and ran. The wind lifted me, and I was flying! The view was breathtaking. I felt a strong sense of freedom, but I kept Karl’s voice in my mind, carefully following his gentle directions through the radio. However, the mountain weather changed instantly. Dark clouds gathered, and the friendly wind turned into a roaring monster, shaking my wing. Karl’s voice became urgent. “Lisa, bad weather is coming! You must land now! Try to turn towards the large field and keep in touch with me!” I tried, but a powerful wind caught my wing, pushing me wildly off course. The safe field slipped away, and the dark outline of a large forest rushed toward me. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I struggled to control my parachute in the strong wind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, I saw that small open area below that Karl just said. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
