But you’re selling yourself short if you don’t venture beyond the photo-friendly installation (装置). LACMA’s collections feature modernist masterpieces, large-scale contemporary works (including Richard Serra’s massive swirling (旋转) sculpture, Josiah McElheny’s Island Universe, and Burden’s another work called Metropolis Ⅱ), traditional Japanese screens and some of L.A.’s most consistently fantastic special exhibitions. However, the eastern half of LACMA’s campus is mostly closed as it wraps up a massive redesign called the David Geffen Galleries, due to open to the public in April 2026 (you can already see the massive concrete structure, which crosses over the top of Wilshire Boulevard, from the outside). But you’ll still find about a half-dozen special exhibitions and a bright presentation of the modern collection located in the existing Resnick Pavilion and BCAM. What’s On California-based Chinese artist Zheng Chongbin explores the Golden State through video installations and paintings; graphic designer Beeple’s Diffuse Control lets visitors collaborate with AI on a video-based sculpture; and Tavares Strachan’s first museum exhibition in L.A. is a collection of multisensory installations. Address 5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Opening hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 11:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m.; Friday 11:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday 10:00 a.m. — 7:00 p.m.; closed on Wednesday Pricing L. A. County Residents: $23, seniors and students $19, 17 and under free; Monday — Friday after 3:00 pm free. Non-residents: $28, seniors and students $24, ages 3 — 17 $13, 2 and under free. Free every second Tuesday of the month. 21. Who has two art pieces on display at LACMA? A. Beeple. B. Richard Serra. C. Chris Burden. D. Josiah McElheny. 22. What can visitors do at LACMA? A. Make unique sculptures in person. B. Admire a Chinese artist’s works. C. Enjoy classic films on Wednesdays. D. Watch a video about many designers. 23. How much is the Monday admission for a young foreign couple and their 3-year-old child? A. $46 B. $56 C. $65 D. $69 B Growing up in Norway (挪威), I had heard a lot about polar exploration. As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains. Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition (远征), I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland (格陵兰岛). At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather. It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica (南极洲). I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed. When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe. When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that. 24. Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey? A. To show her abilities. B. To escape her everyday life. C. To explore a remote area. D. To meet an experienced team. 25. What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Flexible. B. Realistic. C. Athletic. D. Accessible. 26. What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition? A. She braved the physical challenges. B. She enjoyed the landscape most. C. She gained several survival skills. D. She adapted to the environment soon. 27. What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji? A. She was ready for a new task. B. She made his expectations come true. C. She was worthy of what she achieved. D. She did more than he believed possible. C Visit any landfill (填埋场), and there’s a good chance you’ll see a baby bouncer (吊椅) or highchair that people threw away. The couple behind Evrloop hope to change that. Vince Giudice and Marlo Gertz-Giudice created their business with one guiding principle: Keep your baby’s carbon footprint little. For the couple, this translates to a business using entirely recycled and regenerative materials in its baby gear (器材), reducing waste, and offering a buyback program where customers can get up to a 20 percent discount by returning their used products to Evrloop. “I like to use the line, ‘Your baby deserves the best right now and 50 years from now’,” Giudice says. He previously spent over a decade heading product design and development at Green Toys, a toy company that makes its products out of 100 percent recycled plastics. When Giudice departed the company, he wanted to take the concept a step further. A father of two, he soon chose baby gear as his product line. Giudice highlights the unique short usage cycle of baby products, recognizing that bouncers, for example, are typically only used for six months. That short lifespan, paired with the fact that, due to considerations of responsibility, some places won’t accept used baby-item donations, means many products are left out on the street. “You have this category where you have a lot of waste and a lot of quality,” says Giudice. “That all came together, and we decided, let’s go ahead and do this.” Evrloop launched nationwide in April with three-in-one highchairs ($220) and bouncers ($200). Products are available at shops including Amazon, Target +, Pottery Barn Kids, Crate & Kids, plus evrloop.com. The couple hope their efforts can help motivate other businesses to go green. “The hope is that people follow suit and that we can share the data on how it works both financially and for carbon cutting,” Giudice says. 28. What is the idea behind Evrloop? A. Promoting more economical baby products. B. Producing environmentally-friendly baby gear. C. Making full use of the recycled baby products. D. Developing a large second-hand baby gear market. 29. Which factor is mentioned about thrown-away baby items? A. Poor quality of some products. B. Single-function product design. C. Safety concerns about old products. D. Incomplete recycling and reuse systems. 30. Which words can best describe Giudice? A. Creative and easy-going. B. Far-sighted and optimistic. C. Business-aware and hardworking. D. Responsible and commercially-minded. 31. What is the couple’s expectation? A. To put their products into the market soon. B. To team up with more world-class companies. C. To make its baby products available to every family. D. To inspire more businesses to protect the environment. D Plastic has always been a double-edged sword — multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts (催化剂), and often produce impure results. Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. The team’s secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures — far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence. Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. While questions remain, this innovation marks a hopeful turn in humanity’s long battle with plastic waste. It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. 32. What is a key advantage of the new method of recycling plastics? A. Low costs. B. Simple processes. C. High security. D. Adjustable reaction. 33. What does the novel catalyst help with? A. Speeding up waste collection. B. Adjusting the operating temperature. C. Minimizing harmful byproducts. D. Turning plastics into basic chemicals. 34. How do scientists regard the method? A. A dead end. B. A starting point. C. A stepping stone. D. A definite answer. 35. What inspiration does the innovation bring to us? A. New views create possibilities. B. Human effort overcomes challenges. C. Close teamwork works wonders. D. Tough problems lead to innovations. 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。 Growing up, I avoided team sports at all costs.___36___ And I tend to take competition too far. Pair the two together and sports became a source of frustration. But recent studies are making me rethink that attitude. It turns out that group exercise, especially team sports, may be better for our health than working out alone. A 2023 analysis found that participating in sports is linked with better mental health. ___37___ In fact, such sports seem to improve mental well-being more than other forms of exercise, regardless of the amount of physical activity. ___38___ For one, exercising with others increases the likelihood of showing up to work out.In a 2024 study, participants who had to bring a friend turned up about 35 per cent more frequently than those who could arrive alone. This was because a workout buddy increased accountability and made exercising more enjoyable. This enjoyment might even improve performance. One study on communal runs found that those running with friends and family were faster. While we don’t know exactly why this is, it probably relates to how we process fatigue (疲劳).___39___ So exercising with a buddy could signal that we are in a safe environment, allowing us to avoid fatigue for a bit longer. I find this comforting. ___40___ I am running a half-marathon with my best friend soon and she has suggested we run side by side. That may be just what I need to help me cross the finish line. A. Athleticism just isn’t my strong suit. B. Solo sports are always my preference. C. Most people stop exercising when they get bored. D. And the effect is especially pronounced in team sports. E. The social aspect may also enhance sport’s physical benefits. F. It has also helped me focus on the cooperative aspect of sports. G. Feeling exhausted prevents the body from pushing past its limits. 第三部分 完型填空（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。 A month ago I stood there:90 degrees south, the top of the bottom of the world.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 延边第二中学2025—2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高二年级英语试卷 注意事项：答案必须写在答题卡上，答在试卷上无效。本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，本试卷满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How long was the race postponed?

As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains. Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition (远征), I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland (格陵兰岛). At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather. It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica (南极洲). I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed. When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe. When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that. 24. Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey? A. To show her abilities. B. To escape her everyday life. C. To explore a remote area. D. To meet an experienced team. 25. What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Flexible. B. Realistic. C. Athletic. D. Accessible. 26. What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition? A. She braved the physical challenges. B. She enjoyed the landscape most. C. She gained several survival skills. D. She adapted to the environment soon. 27. What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji? A. She was ready for a new task. B. She made his expectations come true. C. She was worthy of what she achieved. D. She did more than he believed possible. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小热爱极地探险，14岁时为滑雪穿越格陵兰岛做准备，15岁决定前往南极洲，21岁踏上南极探险之旅的经历，展现了她追求梦想、勇敢挑战的精神。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable.(但我必须先去挪威北部的芬马克郡进行一次探险，以证明我有能力)”可知，作者去芬马克郡旅行是为了展示自己的能力。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic.(起初我没有告诉妈妈我的计划。我只告诉了爸爸，他和我一样，是个充满梦想的人。我妈妈更……)”，通过对比爸爸充满梦想，可推测妈妈更加现实，所以“pragmatic”意思是“现实的”。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe.(在最艰难的日子里，我深陷齐膝深的新雪中，10个小时只能前进9.5公里。快到终点时，我的肺部疼痛，呼吸困难)”可知，作者在南极探险期间勇敢地应对了身体上的挑战。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg.(当我穿越格陵兰岛时，拉尔斯给我起了个绰号叫“极地蛋”。意思是有一天我会破壳而出，独自进行一次更大的探险。当我到达南极时，我给他发了一个小鸡破壳而出的表情符号)”可知，作者发送这个表情符号是想告诉拉尔斯，她实现了他的期望。故选B项。 C Visit any landfill (填埋场), and there’s a good chance you’ll see a baby bouncer (吊椅) or highchair that people threw away. The couple behind Evrloop hope to change that. Vince Giudice and Marlo Gertz-Giudice created their business with one guiding principle: Keep your baby’s carbon footprint little. For the couple, this translates to a business using entirely recycled and regenerative materials in its baby gear (器材), reducing waste, and offering a buyback program where customers can get up to a 20 percent discount by returning their used products to Evrloop. “I like to use the line, ‘Your baby deserves the best right now and 50 years from now’,” Giudice says. He previously spent over a decade heading product design and development at Green Toys, a toy company that makes its products out of 100 percent recycled plastics. When Giudice departed the company, he wanted to take the concept a step further. A father of two, he soon chose baby gear as his product line. Giudice highlights the unique short usage cycle of baby products, recognizing that bouncers, for example, are typically only used for six months. That short lifespan, paired with the fact that, due to considerations of responsibility, some places won’t accept used baby-item donations, means many products are left out on the street. “You have this category where you have a lot of waste and a lot of quality,” says Giudice. “That all came together, and we decided, let’s go ahead and do this.” Evrloop launched nationwide in April with three-in-one highchairs ($220) and bouncers ($200). Products are available at shops including Amazon, Target +, Pottery Barn Kids, Crate & Kids, plus evrloop.com. The couple hope their efforts can help motivate other businesses to go green. “The hope is that people follow suit and that we can share the data on how it works both financially and for carbon cutting,” Giudice says. 28. What is the idea behind Evrloop? A. Promoting more economical baby products. B. Producing environmentally-friendly baby gear. C. Making full use of the recycled baby products. D. Developing a large second-hand baby gear market. 29. Which factor is mentioned about thrown-away baby items? A. Poor quality of some products. B. Single-function product design. C. Safety concerns about old products. D. Incomplete recycling and reuse systems. 30. Which words can best describe Giudice? A. Creative and easy-going. B. Far-sighted and optimistic. C. Business-aware and hardworking. D. Responsible and commercially-minded. 31. What is the couple’s expectation? A. To put their products into the market soon. B. To team up with more world-class companies. C. To make its baby products available to every family. D. To inspire more businesses to protect the environment. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Evrloop公司的创立理念及其创始人Vince Giudice和Marlo Gertz-Giudice夫妇通过使用完全可回收和可再生的材料生产婴儿用品，以减少浪费并鼓励环保的做法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Vince Giudice and Marlo Gertz-Giudice created their business with one guiding principle: Keep your baby’s carbon footprint little. For the couple, this translates to a business using entirely recycled and regenerative materials in its baby gear (器材), reducing waste, and offering a buyback program (Vince Giudice和Marlo Gertz-Giudice创立他们的企业时遵循一个指导原则：让你的宝宝的碳足迹变小。对这对夫妇来说，这意味着他们的企业在婴儿装备中使用完全可回收和可再生的材料，减少浪费，并提供回购计划)”可知，Evrloop背后的理念是生产环保的婴儿用品。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“That short lifespan, paired with the fact that, due to considerations of responsibility, some places won’t accept used baby-item donations, means many products are left out on the street. (这种短暂的使用寿命，加上出于责任考虑，有些地方不接受二手婴儿用品捐赠的事实，意味着许多产品被丢弃在街上)”可知，关于被丢弃的婴儿用品，文中提到的一个因素是出于责任考虑，二手产品存在安全隐患，导致捐赠不被接受，即对旧产品的安全担忧。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Giudice的话“I like to use the line, ‘Your baby deserves the best right now and 50 years from now’”(我喜欢用这句话：“你的宝宝值得拥有当下和50年后最好的东西”)”以及第六段中“Evrloop launched nationwide in April with three-in-one highchairs ($220) and bouncers ($200). Products are available at shops including Amazon, Target +, Pottery Barn Kids, Crate & Kids, plus evrloop.com. (Evrloop于4月在全国范围内推出，产品包括三合一高脚椅(220美元)和吊椅(200美元)。产品可在Amazon、Target+、Pottery Barn Kids、Crate & Kids以及evrloop.com等商店购买)”可推知，Giudice有责任感(关注宝宝的长远未来和环保)且具有商业头脑(产品定价合理、多渠道销售)。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The couple hope their efforts can help motivate other businesses to go green. (这对夫妇希望他们的努力能帮助激励其他企业走向绿色环保)”可知，这对夫妇的期望是激励更多企业保护环境。故选D项。 D Plastic has always been a double-edged sword — multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts (催化剂), and often produce impure results. Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. The team’s secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures — far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence. Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. While questions remain, this innovation marks a hopeful turn in humanity’s long battle with plastic waste. It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. 32. What is a key advantage of the new method of recycling plastics? A. Low costs. B. Simple processes. C. High security. D. Adjustable reaction. 33. What does the novel catalyst help with? A. Speeding up waste collection. B. Adjusting the operating temperature. C. Minimizing harmful byproducts. D. Turning plastics into basic chemicals. 34. How do scientists regard the method? A. A dead end. B. A starting point. C. A stepping stone. D. A definite answer. 35. What inspiration does the innovation bring to us? A. New views create possibilities. B. Human effort overcomes challenges. C. Close teamwork works wonders. D. Tough problems lead to innovations. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中美科学家合作研发的一种新型塑料回收方法，该方法可通过特殊催化反应一步将塑料转化为可用烃类物质，同时分析了其优势、面临的挑战及带来的启示。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. (通过采用一种特别设计的催化反应，研究人员找到了一种方法，能够将长的塑料聚合物链在单一步骤中分解为短的碳氢化合物分子——这些就是燃料的构成单元。)”可知，新回收方法的关键优势是流程简单。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. (据来自中方合作大学的化学工程师张伟教授介绍，该过程能将 95% 的塑料转化为可用的烃类物质，仅留下少量残留物，且几乎不会产生有害副产品。)”可知，新型催化剂有助于将塑料转化为基础化学物质。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. (基于此，科学家们并不将这种创新视为最终目标，而将其视为迈向更清洁未来的暂时解决方案。)”可知，科学家把该方法看作垫脚石、过渡手段。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. (它将曾经的污染物转化为能源，表明解决重大问题的方法往往在于重新思考：垃圾并非废物，而是潜在资源。)” 可知，这项创新带给我们的启示是新的视角创造可能性。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。 Growing up, I avoided team sports at all costs.___36___ And I tend to take competition too far. Pair the two together and sports became a source of frustration. But recent studies are making me rethink that attitude. It turns out that group exercise, especially team sports, may be better for our health than working out alone. A 2023 analysis found that participating in sports is linked with better mental health. ___37___ In fact, such sports seem to improve mental well-being more than other forms of exercise, regardless of the amount of physical activity. ___38___ For one, exercising with others increases the likelihood of showing up to work out.In a 2024 study, participants who had to bring a friend turned up about 35 per cent more frequently than those who could arrive alone. This was because a workout buddy increased accountability and made exercising more enjoyable. This enjoyment might even improve performance. One study on communal runs found that those running with friends and family were faster. While we don’t know exactly why this is, it probably relates to how we process fatigue (疲劳).___39___ So exercising with a buddy could signal that we are in a safe environment, allowing us to avoid fatigue for a bit longer. I find this comforting. ___40___ I am running a half-marathon with my best friend soon and she has suggested we run side by side. That may be just what I need to help me cross the finish line. A. Athleticism just isn’t my strong suit. B. Solo sports are always my preference. C. Most people stop exercising when they get bored. D. And the effect is especially pronounced in team sports. E.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. Briana’s eyes lit up, and the two set off right away. When they arrived, Briana gasped, “This is amazing!” Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time. Golden wheat fields swayed in the breeze like a rolling ocean, fluffy sheep grazing peacefully in the sunlight. He stood there, completely captivated. Then, Briana gently nudged him. “You should draw this, Nate. It’s a perfect scene.” That was it. Nate pulled out his sketchpad immediately, his pencil dancing across the paper. As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.Once he looked closely, it really was a fascinating place. By sunset, his sketchpad was filled with lively drawings. On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. Local residents gathered around, buzzing with anticipation. Nate stood nervously among them, his heart pounding. Ms. Kim stepped onto the stage. “Every drawing captures the unique beauty of our town,” she said warmly, “but one work truly stood out.” She paused, and then announced Nate’s name. He walked up in disbelief, hands trembling as he accepted the award. The audience applauded loudly, and Briana waved at him from the crowd, beaming with pride. Nate stepped back, looking at his winning piece on the wall — a vivid scene of Grandpa’s farm bathed in golden sunlight. A warm smile spread across his face — beauty had always been there, and sometimes all it took was a pair of fresh eyes to see it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Nate在图书馆看到“第一届高地绘画比赛”的通知后，原本觉得小镇平淡无奇的他，在同学Briana的启发下，开始重新发现小镇的独特之美，并决定参加比赛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受到启发的Nate建议他们去他爷爷的农场看看”可知，第一段可描写Nate和Briana在爷爷农场里的所见所感，以及Nate决定画农场参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖典礼那天，图书馆里挤满了人”可知，第二段可描写Nate的画获奖，以及他的获奖感言，表达他对小镇美丽的新认识。 2.续写线索：参观农场——发现农场之美——决定画农场参加比赛——颁奖典礼——Nate获奖——发表获奖感言——重新认识小镇之美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出发：set off/depart/leave for ②到达：arrived/get to/reach ③走上舞台：step onto the stage/walk onto the stage/go up on the stage 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/anxiously/with tension ②怀疑：disbelief/doubt/skepticism 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time.（运用了现在分词作状语以及as if引导表语从句） 【高分句型2】As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及why引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
