What if part of the assignment were to tell The New York Times about their own experiences with the selected news topic, and to suggest ideas for further reporting on it? And what if Times reporters were to write back to the students? If you like this idea, you’re in luck, because that’s how our new Conversations With Journalists feature will work. Why We Are Doing This As many as half of all teenagers now get their news from social media. They’re becoming more removed from the professionals on the ground who are covering current events, interviewing sources, fact-checking, photographing and editing. And with mis-and-disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important. How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work ·Day 1: The Learning Network publishes a link to a Times article, along with a few open-ended discussion questions and guidelines for participating. ·Days 2-8: Students post their initial reactions and questions in the Learning Network comments section. ·Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the “reporter reply” feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students. ·Days 13-14: The journalist shares a brief reflection about the experience of conversing with students about the article. Let Us Know What You Think If you have a question or comment, post it here and we’ll respond to you. 1. Who is the text intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Journalists. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 2. What is the purpose of the program? A. To inspire students to pursue journalism. B. To give students insights into journalism. C. To teach students how to fact-check news. D. To encourage students to share their stories. 3. On which day(s) do students get a chance to ask journalists follow-up questions? A. Day 1. B. Days 2-8. C. Days 9-13. D. Days 13-14. B When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 5. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 6. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 7. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory. C I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity. It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day. I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done? Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits. In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices. 8. Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a common phenomenon. D. To share a personal experience. 9. What is the author’s core argument about productivity? A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction. B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements. C. Energy management matters more than time management. D. Strict time management systems are essential for success. 10. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic? A. It wastes time that could be used for work. B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations. C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone. D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life. 11. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work. B. The relationship between energy and creativity. C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management. D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices. D The ancient ritual(仪式的) meaning of Stonehenge is still unknown, but researchers are one step closer to understanding how the famous stone circle was created. The special stone lying flat at the center of Stonehenge was brought to the site in southern England from near the tip of northeast Scotland, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Nature. It’s not clear whether the 5-meter stone was carried by boat or across land — a journey of more than 740 kilometers. For more than a hundred years, scientists believed that Stonehenge’s central sandstone — long called the “altar stone” — came from much closer Wales. But a study last year by some of the same researchers showed that the stone didn’t match the geology (地质) of Wales’ sandstone formations. The actual source (来源) of the stone remained unknown. Although the team was not allowed to take the rocks from the site for the study, they studied the minerals (矿物质) in small pieces of rocks that were collected in past digs, some from as far back as the 1840s. They found a match in the sandstone formations of Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, a place that includes parts of the tip of the Scottish peninsula as well as the Orkney Islands. The difficult work of moving the stone such a long way shows a high level of teamwork and cultural connection between these two places of ancient Britain. Stonehenge was built around 5,000 years ago, with stones forming different circles brought to the site at different times. The placement of stones allows for the sun to rise through a stone “window” during summer solstice. The ancient purpose of the altar stone — which lies flat at the heart of Stonehenge, now under other rocks — remains unknown to us. Former research has shown cultural connections — such as similarities in pottery (陶器) styles — between the area around Stonehenge and Scotland’ s Orkney Islands. Other stones at Stonehenge came from western Wales. While Britain is full of other Neolithic stone circles, the thing that’s special about Stonehenge is the distance the stones traveled. 12. What is the researchers’ new finding about Stonehenge? A. The ritual meaning Stonehenge has. B. The place the altar stone came from. C. The way the famous stone circle was created. D. The reason why the altar stone was carried to England. 13. How did the researchers study the source of the altar stone? A. By researching the geology of Wales. B. By carrying away some rocks from the site. C. By studying minerals in rock pieces collected in the past. D. By comparing the stone with other stones in nearby places. 14. What can we learn about Stonehenge from the text? A. It was built through great teamwork. B. It still has an important ritual meaning now. C. The stone lying at the center of it was carried by boat. D. The circle has remained unchanged since it was created. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Exact Source of the Altar Stone B. A Journey of More Than 740 Kilometers C. The Ancient Ritual Meaning of Stonehenge D. Cultural Connections Between Two Places in Britain 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When parents are on their phones a lot, what will happen to their kids? Parents who stare at their screens instead of talking to their kids aren’t just modeling poor behavior, but they could be preventing their children's language development, a new study found. Parents who use screens more have children who use screens more. And those children have a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary. When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. ___16___ What’s more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn’t help their language skills. ___17___ For example, kids ages 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when they are taught through a live interaction or even video chat, but not by watching a video, according to a September 2023 study. The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. ___18___ Try to spare a few minutes – start with 15 minutes a day if it seems really hard-where your phone is truly out of sight, out of mind. It helps model good practices for your kids. Parents are also advised to re-evaluate whether they need to be responsive to everything that comes through on their phones in real time. We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn't. ___19___ It’s simply not possible. ___20___ It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid’s development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. A. We don’t actually need our phones all the time. B. It is an easy way to calm children down or occupy them. C. Avoid checking your phone instead of hanging out with your friends. D. And this may be a reason for the lower grammar skills and vocabulary. E. Try not to put pressure on yourself to respond immediately to everything. F. Another research also suggests younger children don’t learn well from screens. G. But parents shouldn’t overstress if they or their child have spent much time on screens. 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节完形填空 (共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、 B、C和D) 中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Manuela Ribeiro has a healthy addiction.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 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。 Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 培优部 高二英语期中考试试题 (考试时间: 120分钟 试卷满分: 150分) 注意事项: 1. 答卷前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 回答非选择题时, 将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 测试范围: 英语高考范围 5. 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) 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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 5. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 6. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 7. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者自己因童年时被灌输饮食观念而影响了与食物的关系，心理学家建议家长在饮食上少干预，作者尝试策略后发现孩子能做更好的饮食决策。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这真的搞砸了我与食物的关系 —— 这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题)”可知，作者童年时被灌输的饮食观念对其产生了负面影响，由此可推断出，作者对自己童年时被喂养的方式持批判态度。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. ‘There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法，食物是为数不多的家长说得少反而更好的话题之一。“在育儿方面，有很多事情值得深入讨论，但我不认为食物是其中之一，”她说。“这只会给孩子们带来一些不必要的担忧和不安全感，这并不健康。”)”可知，马基不赞成家长和孩子过多谈论食物相关的话题，而向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物的话题，所以马基不会赞成。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即‘责任划分’，在这个概念中，家长在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多)”可知，根据“责任划分”，孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实会做出更好的决策)”可知，孩子们确实会做出更好的决策，所以作者会认为自己所遵循的策略是可行的。故选C项。 C I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity. It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day. I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done? Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits. In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices. 8. Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a common phenomenon. D. To share a personal experience. 9. What is the author’s core argument about productivity? A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction. B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements. C. Energy management matters more than time management. D. Strict time management systems are essential for success. 10. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic? A. It wastes time that could be used for work. B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations. C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone. D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life. 11. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work. B. The relationship between energy and creativity. C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management. D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章由朋友咨询时间管理技巧引出话题，论述了精力管理比时间管理更重要，并强调要关注和合理管理精力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.(我最近和一位被工作压得喘不过气来的朋友聊了聊。她问我关于时间管理有什么建议。这个问题让我很惊讶。我从来没觉得自己是个有出色时间管理能力的人，主要是因为我倾向于避免严格的效率体系，认为它们会限制创造力)”可知，作者先提及朋友咨询时间管理技巧，随后引出自己对精力管理的看法，所以提及朋友是为了引出文章主题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy.(直到我们分开我才意识到。我不关注时间管理，而是关注精力管理。在某个时候，我了解到做一件事所花费的时间相对于精力来说是次要的)”可知，作者认为精力管理比时间管理更重要。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, ‘Life force gets trapped in frustration.’ So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits.(他说懊恼是一种容易让人上瘾的情绪，因为它会让我们感到压力。哈德森说：‘生命力被困在了懊恼之中。’所以我在懊恼上花费的大量精力，正困住本可以用于更有用、更有成效、更有创造性追求的生命力)”可知，懊恼会困住本可以用于更有用、更有成效、更有创造性追求的生命力，会阻止人们追求生活中有意义的事情。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices.(我们应该注意我们的精力在一天中是如何变化的，并学习如何创造、使用和保存它。开始这样思考并不难。我们只需要更加了解自己并谨慎做出选择)”可推知，接下来可能会举例说明如何通过自我认知和选择来管理精力。故选D项。 D The ancient ritual(仪式的) meaning of Stonehenge is still unknown, but researchers are one step closer to understanding how the famous stone circle was created. The special stone lying flat at the center of Stonehenge was brought to the site in southern England from near the tip of northeast Scotland, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Nature. It’s not clear whether the 5-meter stone was carried by boat or across land — a journey of more than 740 kilometers. For more than a hundred years, scientists believed that Stonehenge’s central sandstone — long called the “altar stone” — came from much closer Wales. But a study last year by some of the same researchers showed that the stone didn’t match the geology (地质) of Wales’ sandstone formations. The actual source (来源) of the stone remained unknown. Although the team was not allowed to take the rocks from the site for the study, they studied the minerals (矿物质) in small pieces of rocks that were collected in past digs, some from as far back as the 1840s. They found a match in the sandstone formations of Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, a place that includes parts of the tip of the Scottish peninsula as well as the Orkney Islands. The difficult work of moving the stone such a long way shows a high level of teamwork and cultural connection between these two places of ancient Britain. Stonehenge was built around 5,000 years ago, with stones forming different circles brought to the site at different times. The placement of stones allows for the sun to rise through a stone “window” during summer solstice. The ancient purpose of the altar stone — which lies flat at the heart of Stonehenge, now under other rocks — remains unknown to us. Former research has shown cultural connections — such as similarities in pottery (陶器) styles — between the area around Stonehenge and Scotland’ s Orkney Islands. Other stones at Stonehenge came from western Wales. While Britain is full of other Neolithic stone circles, the thing that’s special about Stonehenge is the distance the stones traveled. 12. What is the researchers’ new finding about Stonehenge? A. The ritual meaning Stonehenge has. B. The place the altar stone came from. C. The way the famous stone circle was created. D. The reason why the altar stone was carried to England. 13. How did the researchers study the source of the altar stone? A. By researching the geology of Wales. B. By carrying away some rocks from the site. C. By studying minerals in rock pieces collected in the past. D. By comparing the stone with other stones in nearby places. 14. What can we learn about Stonehenge from the text? A. It was built through great teamwork. B. It still has an important ritual meaning now. C. The stone lying at the center of it was carried by boat. D. The circle has remained unchanged since it was created. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Exact Source of the Altar Stone B. A Journey of More Than 740 Kilometers C. The Ancient Ritual Meaning of Stonehenge D. Cultural Connections Between Two Places in Britain 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项新的研究发现位于巨石阵中心的祭坛石是从苏格兰的东北端附近运到英格兰南部的遗址的，而非一直以来被认为的威尔士。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The special stone lying flat at the center of Stonehenge was brought to the site in southern England from near the tip of northeast Scotland, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Nature. (研究人员在周三的《自然》杂志上报告说，位于英格兰南部巨石阵中心的一块特殊平躺的石头是从苏格兰东北部的尖端地区运到该地点的。)”可知，研究人员发现了这些巨石是从什么地方搬运过来的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Although the team was not allowed to take the rocks from the site for the study, they studied the minerals (矿物质) in small pieces of rocks that were collected in past digs, some from as far back as the1840s. (虽然研究团队不被允许从现场取走岩石进行研究，但他们研究了过去挖掘中收集的岩石小块中的矿物质，其中一些岩石样本可以追溯到19世纪40年代。)”可知，研究人员通过研究过去挖掘收集的小块岩石中的矿物质来研究祭坛石的来源。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The difficult work of moving the stone such a long way shows a high level of teamwork and cultural connection between these two places of ancient Britain. (将石头从如此遥远的地方搬运过来是一项艰巨的工作，这显示了古英国这两个地方之间高度的团队合作和文化联系。)”可知，搬运这块石头这一艰难工作展示了古代英国两个地区之间高水平的团队合作和文化联系，由此可以推断出巨石阵是在很好的团队合作下建造的。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The ancient ritual (仪式的) meaning of Stonehenge is still unknown, but researchers are one step closer to understanding how the famous stone circle was created. (巨石阵的古代仪式意义仍然未知，但研究人员更接近于理解这个著名的石圈是如何被创造的。)”及全文可知，文章重点介绍了巨石阵中心的祭坛石来源的新发现，先是介绍过去对其来源的错误认知，再阐述通过研究确定其真正来源，所以文章的最佳标题是“祭坛石的确切来源”。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When parents are on their phones a lot, what will happen to their kids? Parents who stare at their screens instead of talking to their kids aren’t just modeling poor behavior, but they could be preventing their children's language development, a new study found. Parents who use screens more have children who use screens more. And those children have a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary. When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. ___16___ What’s more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn’t help their language skills. ___17___ For example, kids ages 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when they are taught through a live interaction or even video chat, but not by watching a video, according to a September 2023 study. The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. ___18___ Try to spare a few minutes – start with 15 minutes a day if it seems really hard-where your phone is truly out of sight, out of mind. It helps model good practices for your kids. Parents are also advised to re-evaluate whether they need to be responsive to everything that comes through on their phones in real time. We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn't. ___19___ It’s simply not possible. ___20___ It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid’s development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. A. We don’t actually need our phones all the time. B. It is an easy way to calm children down or occupy them. C. Avoid checking your phone instead of hanging out with your friends. D. And this may be a reason for the lower grammar skills and vocabulary. E. Try not to put pressure on yourself to respond immediately to everything. F. Another research also suggests younger children don’t learn well from screens. G. But parents shouldn’t overstress if they or their child have spent much time on screens. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了父母过度使用手机对子女语言发展的影响，并提供了改善亲子互动和减少屏幕时间的建议。 【16题详解】 上文提到“When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. (当屏幕被使用时，无论是父母还是孩子，家庭中会有更少的交谈、教学和阅读。)” 家庭中使用屏幕时，会有更少的交谈、教学和阅读。D项（这可能是语法能力和词汇量较低的原因之一。）直接指出了屏幕使用与语言能力下降之间的联系，符合上下文逻辑。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文提到“What's more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn't help their language skills. (此外，当孩子们和父母一起观看屏幕时，这对他们的语言技能没有帮助。)”带孩子看屏幕对他们的语言技能没有帮助。F项（另一项研究也表明，年幼的孩子从屏幕上学不到太多东西。）补充了相关研究结果，支持了上文的观点。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. (研究表明，父母在和孩子在一起时，应该尽量不要花太多时间在设备上。)”建议父母尽量减少在孩子面前使用手机的时间。A项（我们实际上并不需要一直使用手机。）进一步强调了减少手机依赖的重要性和原因，与上文建议的内容一致。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文提到“We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn’t. (我们生活在一个看似一切都紧急的世界，但实际上并非如此。)”我们生活的世界并非看起来那么紧急。E项（尽量不要给自己施加压力，要求自己立即回应所有事情。）指出不必要求自己立即回复所有的事。下文“It’s simply not possible. (这根本不可能。)”给出原因。因此E项承上启下。故选E。 【20题详解】 下文“It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid's development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. (修复永远不晚。多花点时间一起阅读或在无手机区域（如餐桌）相处。关心孩子的发展并关注这些建议，你已经做得很好了。)”提出修复孩子的习惯的具体建议，G选项（但如果父母或孩子已经花了太多时间在屏幕上，他们不应该过于焦虑。）承接下文，提出了一个观点，即父母不必因为过去过度使用屏幕而过于焦虑，因为还有修复的机会，这与下文提到的修复和积极行动的建议相呼应。故选G项。 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节完形填空 (共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、 B、C和D) 中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Manuela Ribeiro has a healthy addiction.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 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。 Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. They kept cheering loudly as he performed punches, kicks and graceful stances. They asked him to teach them basic moves, and Li Ming patiently demonstrated step by step, using simple English to explain each action’s meaning. When he struggled to express himself clearly, his new friends listened carefully and helped him find the right words. For the first time, Li Ming forgot his shyness and accent, feeling proud to share his culture. Practice became a joyful time where they learned from each other. Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. Many classmates came up to him, praising his wonderful performance and asking about Chinese kung fu. Some even invited him to join their conversations and hang out after school. During group work, he dared to speak up confidently, and his ideas were well-received. He no longer felt left out; instead, he found a sense of belonging. Li Ming realized that his unique culture was a bridge to connect with others, and courage and sharing could help him fit in easily. 【解析】 【导语】本文以异国成长为线索，讲述了李明从中国前往英国求学，因语言障碍、文化差异感到迷茫胆怯，难以融入集体，在小组合作和社交场合中屡屡受挫，恰逢学校举办才艺秀，他犹豫是否展示中国功夫时，被一群对文化表演感兴趣的英国学生邀请加入的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“在他们排练期间，这群人被李明的中国功夫惊呆了。”可知，本段聚焦李明在排练中的转变与融入，通过“组员欢呼、请教功夫、李明耐心教学”的细节，呼应前文李明的功夫特长与内心的胆怯；再以“组员帮助李明表达、李明忘记羞涩、享受分享”的情节，展现他逐渐打破语言与心理障碍，为下文才艺秀成功、彻底融入集体做铺垫，紧扣“异国适应与文化自信”的核心。 ②由第二段首句“才艺秀结束后，李明注意到一些变化正在发生。”可知，本段围绕李明的彻底转变与成长展开，通过“同学称赞、邀请他参与社交、小组合作中自信表达”的细节，体现才艺秀带来的积极影响，呼应前文排练时的努力与组员的友善；以“李明找到归属感、领悟到文化是联结他人的桥梁”的情节，升华主题，完成从“迷茫胆怯、格格不入”到“自信开朗、融入集体”的情节闭环。 2. 续写线索：组员被李明功夫惊艳——组员请教、李明耐心教学——遇语言困难时组员帮忙——李明克服羞涩、收获自信——才艺秀结束后同学称赞、主动结交——小组合作中大胆表达——李明找到归属感、领悟文化的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：demonstrate/show ②欢呼：cheer/shout with joy ③称赞：praise/commend ④融入：fit in/adapt to ⑤联结：connect/link 情感类 ①自豪的：proud/fulfilling ②自信地：confidently/with confidence 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he struggled to express himself clearly, his new friends listened carefully and helped him find the right words.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Li Ming realized that his unique culture was a bridge to connect with others, and courage and sharing could help him fit in easily.(运用了that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
