For travelers who want a taste of Italy’s rich culture without heading to an over-touristed city like Rome, Florence is the best choice.(佛罗伦萨是意大利托斯卡纳大区的首府，也是意大利文艺复兴时期艺术和文化的核心。对于那些想感受意大利丰富文化、又不想去罗马这种游客过多的城市的旅行者来说，佛罗伦萨是最佳选择。)”可知，作者建议游客在佛罗伦萨探索文艺复兴时期的文化。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“One of the top sites to visit here is the Duomo di Milano, an amazing church that took six centuries to build.(这里最值得一游的景点之一是米兰大教堂，这座令人惊叹的教堂耗时六个世纪才建成。)”和第五段中的“Pisa is most famous for the Leaning Tower of Pisa, whose construction began in 1173 and took more than 300 years to complete.(比萨最著名的是比萨斜塔，它始建于1173年，耗时超过300年才完工。)”可知，米兰和比萨的共同点是都拥有世界著名的建筑地标。故选D项。 B After losing her job, Andrea found herself returning to the one thing that had always offered comfort: painting. With steady encouragement from her husband, she got into painting full-time, transforming her passion into a meaningful way to support her family — one brushstroke at a time. Andrea’s creative roots stretch back to childhood. She remembers being fascinated by classics like The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross, where gentle landscapes unfolded in real time. Combined with the influence of impressionist and surrealist masters, these early inspirations opened her eyes to the possibilities of color, form, and mood. Guided by dedicated and incredibly supportive art teachers, Andrea fell for oil paint. Today, she views each canvas (画布) as an invitation — to push herself, to keep learning, and to refine the signature style her collectors have come to love. Seeing the joy her work brings to others fuels her passion and makes her efforts worthwhile. Social platforms have helped her find community, connection, and a broader audience that resonates (共鸣) with her nature-driven aesthetic (审美). For Andrea, the creating process is as important as the finished piece. She emphasizes how important it is “to not get too comfortable” when creating, and to challenge yourself, forcing a deeper dive into your own thought processes. It’s this sense of personal evolution that gives each painting its emotional resonance. Andrea’s career continues to develop. She launched her website artbyandrearich.com recently, and she will present an exhibition next spring at the Holland Area Arts Council in the Jane Armstrong Gallery. With characteristic optimism, she says, “The best is yet to come.” For homeowners seeking artworks that bring peace, genuineness, and a touch of Michigan’s natural beauty indoors, Andrea Rich is certainly an artist to turn to. 4. What made Andrea fall in love with oil paint? A. Support of her husband. B. Guidance from her instructors. C. Influence of various artists. D. Inspiration from classic works. 5. What matters most to Andrea in creation? A. Pushing her capabilities. B. Experimenting with colors. C. Developing a unique style. D. Appealing to more audiences. 6. Which of the following best describes Andrea’s career? A. Prosperous. B. Traditional. C. Competitive. D. Independent. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share passion for art. B. To advertise fine artworks. C. To recommend an artist. D. To motivate art enthusiasts. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要说明了失业后Andrea在丈夫支持下专职绘画，受老师指导爱上油画。她不断突破自我，事业稳步发展，是值得推荐的优秀艺术家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Guided by dedicated and incredibly supportive art teachers, Andrea fell for oil paint.(在敬业且全力支持她的美术老师的引导下，安德里亚爱上了油画)”可知，其导师的指导让安德烈亚爱上了油画。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She emphasizes how important it is “to not get too comfortable” when creating, and to challenge yourself, forcing a deeper dive into your own thought processes.(她强调，在创作过程中“切勿过于安于现状”，并且要勇于挑战自我，深入探究自己的思维过程)”可知，对于安德里亚来说，在创作过程中最重要的是突破自我。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Andrea’s career continues to develop. She launched her website artbyandrearich.com recently, and she will present an exhibition next spring at the Holland Area Arts Council in the Jane Armstrong Gallery.(安德烈娅的事业仍在不断发展。她最近推出了自己的网站 artbyandrearich.com ，并且将于明年春天在荷兰地区艺术协会的简·阿姆斯特朗画廊举办一场展览)”可知，安德里亚的职业生涯是成功辉煌的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For homeowners seeking artworks that bring peace, genuineness, and a touch of Michigan’s natural beauty indoors, Andrea Rich is certainly an artist to turn to.(对于那些希望在家中也能拥有能带来宁静、真实感以及些许密歇根自然风光的艺术品的房主来说，安德里亚·里奇无疑是一位值得信赖的艺术家)”结合文章主要说明了失业后Andrea在家人支持下专职绘画，受老师指导爱上油画。她不断突破自我，事业稳步发展，是值得推荐的优秀艺术家。可知，作者撰写这篇文章的目的是推荐一位艺术家。故选C。 C Scientists have discovered that many animals, including hermit crabs, rats, and fish, have distinct personalities. These animals show consistent behavioral differences over time and in various situations, just like dogs and cats, as pet owners know. But how do social situations affect individual personalities? University of Bristol biologist Christos C. Loannou and his colleagues sought to find out by turning to a small fish called the three-spined stickleback, which inhabits mildly salty coastal water throughout the Northern Hemisphere. “They’re found both as individuals and in social groups in the wild,” making them perfect for personality assessments across different settings, Loannou says. The researchers took 80 fish and placed each under a protective cover at one end of a tank, with food at the opposite end. Crossing the tank to feed would seem risky to the sticklebacks because open water typically exposes them to the threat of danger. The researchers studied them over several days, observing that braver fish quickly left their shelter to get food, while shyer ones took longer to emerge and swam across the tank more cautiously. However, when 10 fish were placed together under a cover, individual personalities disappeared, with the braver fish acting as group leaders, waiting for others to catch up. “The first individuals come out quickly but wait when they realize they’re not being followed,” Loannou explains. However, when separated from the group, the fish returned to their original behaviors. These results, showing how group dynamics influence individual characteristics, were published in Science Advances in September. The new findings suggest that group dynamics restrict individual personalities, and the researchers say it is the first time that such restriction has been clearly linked to an underlying cause: the need to conform when faced with a risky decision. Animal personality researchers have historically focused on individuals while ignoring group behavior, and collective behavior researchers have focused on groups while downplaying individual differences, according to University of St Andrews animal behavior researcher Mike Webster, who was not involved. “This study brings those two research streams together,” showing that animal personalities are flexible yet consistent, he says. 8. What made sticklebacks chosen for the study? A. Coastal habitat. B. Safety awareness. C. Strong individuality. D. Social flexibility. 9. Which best describes the impact of group dynamics on individual personalities? A. Predictable. B. Temporary. C. Immediate. D. Slight. 10. What does the underlined word “conform” mean in paragraph 5? A. Control. B. Choose. C. Follow. D. Escape. 11. What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph? A. It fills a gap in animal behavior research. B. It reveals the role of animal group behavior. C. It challenges adaptable animal personalities. D. It proves animal personalities disappear in groups. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家通过三刺鱼实验揭示群体环境会暂时抑制个体性格，为动物行为研究提供新视角。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““They’re found both as individuals and in social groups in the wild,” making them perfect for personality assessments across different settings, Loannou says. (Loannou说，“在野外，它们既可以单独存在，也可以在社会群体中被发现”，这使得它们非常适合在不同环境下进行个性评估)”可知，三刺鱼既能单独存在又能在群体中生存，所以刺鱼是因为其社会灵活性而被选作研究对象。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, when 10 fish were placed together under a cover, individual personalities disappeared, with the braver fish acting as group leaders, waiting for others to catch up. However, when separated from the group, the fish returned to their original behaviors. (然而，当10条鱼被放在一个遮蔽物下时，个体个性消失了，更勇敢的鱼充当群体领导者，等待其他鱼跟上。然而，当与群体分开时，鱼又恢复了它们原来的行为)”可知，当鱼在群体中时个性消失，当与群体分开时又恢复原来的行为，可推测，群体动态对个体个性的影响是暂时的。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“However, when 10 fish were placed together under a cover, individual personalities disappeared, with the braver fish acting as group leaders, waiting for others to catch up. (然而，当10条鱼被放在一个遮蔽物下时，个体个性消失了，更勇敢的鱼充当群体领导者，等待其他鱼跟上)”以及第五段“The new findings suggest that group dynamics restrict individual personalities, and the researchers say it is the first time that such restriction has been clearly linked to an underlying cause: the need to conform when faced with a risky decision. (新的发现表明群体动态限制了个体个性，研究人员说这是首次将这种限制与一个潜在原因明确联系起来：在面临有风险的决定时需要conform)”可知，鱼在群体中个性消失，面临危险时，勇敢的鱼会充当领导者，等待其他鱼跟上，推测鱼在面临有风险的决定时会跟随群体行为，推测划线单词表示“跟随”，与Follow意义相近。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Animal personality researchers have historically focused on individuals while ignoring group behavior, and collective behavior researchers have focused on groups while downplaying individual differences, according to University of St Andrews animal behavior researcher Mike Webster, who was not involved. ‘This study brings those two research streams together,’ showing that animal personalities are flexible yet consistent, he says. (没有参与这项研究的圣安德鲁斯大学的动物行为研究员Mike Webster说，从历史上看，动物个性研究人员关注个体而忽略群体行为，集体行为研究人员关注群体而淡化个体差异。他说，“这项研究将这两个研究方向结合起来了”，表明动物的个性既灵活又一致)”可知，这项研究将关注个体和关注群体的研究结合起来，填补了动物行为研究的一个空白。故选A。 D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 12. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 13. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。 【点睛】 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。 As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者在意大利买下一处房子，邻居Mario送来样子难看但味道鲜美的西红柿和浑浊却完美的葡萄酒。作者由此领悟到不应仅凭外表评判食物，应珍惜当季、本地种植的食材。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：我们第一次住在那儿时，听到摩托车嘟嘟嘟地沿着山往下朝我们驶来。A. making朝……走去；B. searching搜索；C. grabbing抓住；D. panicking恐慌。根据上文“the chug-chug-chug of a motorbike”和下文“its way down the hill toward us”可知，句子描述摩托车“行进”的样子；make one’s way意为“前进，行进”。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：那是一位名叫Mario的邻居，他给我们送来一个盒子，里面装着一些西红柿和一瓶酒。A. suspect嫌疑人；B. neighbor邻居；C. messenger信使；D. witness目击者。根据下文“coming to bring us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine”可推知，这是邻居之间互赠礼物的语境，Mario是他们的“邻居”。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：他做出这样的举动是非常友好的。A. ambition雄心；B. comment评论；C. promise承诺；D. gesture姿态，举动。根据上文“coming to bring us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine”可知，邻居送来礼物是一种友好的“姿态”或“举动”。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：但当我们看到那些西红柿时，我们很担心，因为它们形状太难看了：它们完全不像你在超市里看到的那种又圆又亮的东西。A. worried担心的；B. moved感动的；C. pleased高兴的；D. bored无聊的。根据下文“because they were so misshapen”可知，西红柿不好看，可能不好吃，他们看到后感到“担心”。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：但当我们看到那些西红柿时，我们很担心，因为它们形状太难看了：它们完全不像你在超市里看到的那种又圆又亮的东西。A. forest森林；B. church教堂；C. museum博物馆；D. supermarket超市。根据上文“nice, round, shiny things”可知，这些是“超市”里常见的完美外表的西红柿。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：那酒也是浑浊的，装在一个滑稽的旧瓶子里，上面没有标签。A. pure纯净的；B. dirty脏的；C. cloudy浑浊的；D. perfect完美的。根据下文“Mario’s wine may have been cloudy”可知，酒是“浑浊的”。 【27题详解】 考查形容词短语。句意：但我们很感激他的好意，所以还是尝了尝。A. addicted to对……上瘾；B. grateful for感激；C. cautious about对……谨慎；D. absorbed in专注于。根据下文“we tried them”可知，邻居送来食物，虽然品相不好，但一片好意，所以作者他们还是心存“感激”。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我们后来发现，仅凭外表来判断你吃的东西是很愚蠢的。A. wise明智的；B. optimistic乐观的；C. stupid愚蠢的；D. usual通常的。根据下文“the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child”和“Mario’s wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle,  it was perfect.”可知，邻居的西红柿和酒虽然不好看，但好吃美味，所以作者认为仅凭外表判断食物是“愚蠢的”。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：我们后来发现，仅凭外表来判断你吃的东西是很愚蠢的。A. appearance外表；B. quality质量；C. origin来源；D. reputation声誉。根据上文“they were so misshapen: not at all like the nice, round, shiny things”和“And the wine was , in a funny old bottle with no label (标签) on it.”的描述可知，他们最初依据的是食物的“外表”。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：那些西红柿的味道让我想起了我小时候我叔叔种的那些。A. inform通知；B. convince说服；C. warn警告；D. remind使想起。根据下文“the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child”可知，邻居的西红柿“让作者想起”小时候叔叔种的西红柿；remind sb of sth意为“使某人想起某事”。 【31题详解】 考查代词。句意：没有人会对那些超市西红柿产生快乐的回忆。A. Everybody每个人；B. Nothing没有东西；C. Nobody没有人；D. Everywhere到处。根据上文“taste of water”可知，超市西红柿看起来很好，但吃起来没有味道，所以“没有人”对它们有美好回忆。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：令人惊讶的是，他们还没能种出方形的，这样就可以方便包装了。A. surprise惊讶；B. legend传说；C. progress进步；D. tale故事。这里是一种讽刺的说法，作者认为超市只追求外表和便于包装，而非美味，所以超市现在还没有种出方形西红柿是一件“令人惊讶的事情”。 【33题详解】 考查连词。句意：Mario的酒可能看上去浑浊，装在旧瓶子里，然而它却是完美的。A. so所以；B. yet然而；C. because因为；D. although虽然。前后句为转折关系，用yet连接两个分句。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：在恰当的时间吃当季的食物，并且尽可能靠近它们生长的地方，这是很好的。A. melted融化；B. stored储存；C. found发现；D. grown生长。根据上文“eat things at the correct time, when they’re in season”可推知，要吃当季的食物，就要尽可能靠近它们“生长”的地方。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：Mario给我们的正是Garfagnana的味道。A. sight景象；B. icon图标；C. hearing听觉；D. taste味道。根据上文可知，Mario带来的西红柿和酒代表了当地食物的真实“味道”。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Heimlich Maneuver is a life-saving first aid technique ____36____ (design) to help people choking on food or other objects.

I want specific details. Begin!” I sat with my pencil over my paper. For a moment, I hesitated. I knew I didn’t really have someone like that. Still, I lowered my head and began to write: My best friend is Hayley. She plays the cello (大提琴), like I do, and we go to orchestra every Saturday. She makes people laugh, and whenever I feel nervous, she tells me, “You’ve got this.” We’ve been best friends since fourth grade. I knew Hayley wasn’t real, but it was easier than explaining why I didn’t have a best friend. In fact, there was a girl in my orchestra class, Emily, who usually practiced the cello in the music room. Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold after a rehearsal (排练) and gave me an encouraging smile. “You’ve got this,” she said softly. I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage, never showing the slightest impatience. We didn’t talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation, but I couldn’t forget her kindness. Without realizing it, I had borrowed pieces of her to create Hayley. At school, I didn’t have real friends. My classmates were polite and kind, but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out. When I needed someone, I didn’t know who to turn to. When loneliness came over, I would imagine someone like Emily beside me, her gentle voice offering encouragement. She was the friend I wished I could have. The next day, Ms. Garcia returned my essay with a bright red “A”. “Hayley sounds wonderful! I’ve signed you and her up to perform a cello duo (二重奏) at next Friday’s Cultural Festival.” My heart skipped a beat. The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap. I was totally at a loss. 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。 Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia. I walked to her office with heavy steps, my hands sweating. “Ms. Garcia, I have to tell you the truth,” I whispered, my voice trembling. I explained that Hayley wasn’t real — I made her up because I was too shy to admit I had no best friend. To my surprise, Ms. Garcia didn’t blame me. She patted my shoulder gently and said, “It’s brave of you to tell the truth. Why not ask Emily to be your partner? She’s kind and plays the cello well.” Her words gave me the courage I needed. The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily. She was practicing the cello, her fingers moving smoothly over the strings. Taking a deep breath, I walked over. “Emily, I…I was wondering if you’d like to play a cello duo with me at the Cultural Festival,” I said, avoiding her eyes. She stopped playing and smiled warmly. “I’d love to!” she replied. As we practiced together, we talked more — about music, our hobbies, and our fears. Slowly, I realized that the friend I had imagined was right in front of me, and I finally had a real best friend. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因害羞而缺乏真正的朋友，在老师布置写关于最好的朋友的作文时，作者虚构了一个名为Hayley的朋友，其形象借鉴了乐团同学Emily的优点。老师对作文评价很高，还安排作者和虚构的Hayley在文化节上表演大提琴二重奏，这让作者陷入困境。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我满心焦虑，决定去找加西亚老师。”可知，第一段可描写作者跟老师说明了真相，老师鼓励作者请Emily做自己的搭档。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我去音乐教室找Emily。”可知，第二段可描写作者邀请Emily做搭档，Emily答应了并和作者畅聊，最终成为了朋友以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：说出真相——老师鼓励作者——邀请Emily做搭档——二人成为朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低语：whisper/murmur ②解释：explain/account for ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/tenderly ②令某人惊讶的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1]As we practiced together, we talked more — about music, our hobbies, and our fears.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]Slowly, I realized that the friend I had imagined was right in front of me, and I finally had a real best friend.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，省略了关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 昆明市第三中学高2027届高二年级下学期期中考试 英语 试题卷 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、考号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并用铅笔认真填涂考号。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 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.

But there is so much more to Italy than just its international capital. Verona Made famous by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Verona is a charming city that is often overlooked by travelers. Its medieval (中世纪) structures and cobbled (铺有鹅卵石的) streets give travelers a genuine sense of Italian architecture. Accommodation in Verona is about 70% cheaper than in Rome, allowing budget travelers to enjoy exceptional food and fun nightlife scene. Florence Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region of the country, and it’s also the heart of Italy’s Renaissance-era (文艺复兴时代) art and culture. Florence offers incredible shopping and tons of artwork, plus it highlights delicious Tuscan cuisine. For travelers who want a taste of Italy’s rich culture without heading to an over-touristed city like Rome, Florence is the best choice. Milan The fashion capital of the world, Milan is a well-known city in Northern Italy. Located in the Lombardy region, Milan is famous for its high-end shops and Gothic (哥特式) architecture. One of the top sites to visit here is the Duomo di Milano, an amazing church that took six centuries to build. Pisa Travelers looking for a city with great food and historical architecture can head to Pisa. Located in central Italy, Pisa is most famous for the Leaning Tower of Pisa, whose construction began in 1173 and took more than 300 years to complete. 1. What is a feature of Verona? A. It offers high-class accommodation. B. It is popular for modern architecture. C. It is a budget-friendly travel destination. D. It is the heart of Italian art and literature. 2. What does the author suggest visitors do in Florence? A. Watch Shakespeare’s plays. B. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. C. Learn to cook Tuscan cuisine. D. Explore Renaissance-era culture. 3. What do Milan and Pisa share in common? A. They are attractive to sports lovers. B. They are known for high-end shops. C. They are in the same region of Italy. D. They house world-famous architectural landmarks. B After losing her job, Andrea found herself returning to the one thing that had always offered comfort: painting. With steady encouragement from her husband, she got into painting full-time, transforming her passion into a meaningful way to support her family — one brushstroke at a time. Andrea’s creative roots stretch back to childhood. She remembers being fascinated by classics like The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross, where gentle landscapes unfolded in real time. Combined with the influence of impressionist and surrealist masters, these early inspirations opened her eyes to the possibilities of color, form, and mood. Guided by dedicated and incredibly supportive art teachers, Andrea fell for oil paint. Today, she views each canvas (画布) as an invitation — to push herself, to keep learning, and to refine the signature style her collectors have come to love. Seeing the joy her work brings to others fuels her passion and makes her efforts worthwhile. Social platforms have helped her find community, connection, and a broader audience that resonates (共鸣) with her nature-driven aesthetic (审美). For Andrea, the creating process is as important as the finished piece. She emphasizes how important it is “to not get too comfortable” when creating, and to challenge yourself, forcing a deeper dive into your own thought processes. It’s this sense of personal evolution that gives each painting its emotional resonance. Andrea’s career continues to develop. She launched her website artbyandrearich.com recently, and she will present an exhibition next spring at the Holland Area Arts Council in the Jane Armstrong Gallery. With characteristic optimism, she says, “The best is yet to come.” For homeowners seeking artworks that bring peace, genuineness, and a touch of Michigan’s natural beauty indoors, Andrea Rich is certainly an artist to turn to. 4. What made Andrea fall in love with oil paint? A. Support of her husband. B. Guidance from her instructors. C. Influence of various artists. D. Inspiration from classic works. 5. What matters most to Andrea in creation? A. Pushing her capabilities. B. Experimenting with colors. C. Developing a unique style. D. Appealing to more audiences. 6. Which of the following best describes Andrea’s career? A. Prosperous. B. Traditional. C. Competitive. D. Independent. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share passion for art. B. To advertise fine artworks. C. To recommend an artist. D. To motivate art enthusiasts. C Scientists have discovered that many animals, including hermit crabs, rats, and fish, have distinct personalities. These animals show consistent behavioral differences over time and in various situations, just like dogs and cats, as pet owners know. But how do social situations affect individual personalities? University of Bristol biologist Christos C. Loannou and his colleagues sought to find out by turning to a small fish called the three-spined stickleback, which inhabits mildly salty coastal water throughout the Northern Hemisphere. “They’re found both as individuals and in social groups in the wild,” making them perfect for personality assessments across different settings, Loannou says. The researchers took 80 fish and placed each under a protective cover at one end of a tank, with food at the opposite end. Crossing the tank to feed would seem risky to the sticklebacks because open water typically exposes them to the threat of danger. The researchers studied them over several days, observing that braver fish quickly left their shelter to get food, while shyer ones took longer to emerge and swam across the tank more cautiously. However, when 10 fish were placed together under a cover, individual personalities disappeared, with the braver fish acting as group leaders, waiting for others to catch up. “The first individuals come out quickly but wait when they realize they’re not being followed,” Loannou explains. However, when separated from the group, the fish returned to their original behaviors. These results, showing how group dynamics influence individual characteristics, were published in Science Advances in September. The new findings suggest that group dynamics restrict individual personalities, and the researchers say it is the first time that such restriction has been clearly linked to an underlying cause: the need to conform when faced with a risky decision. Animal personality researchers have historically focused on individuals while ignoring group behavior, and collective behavior researchers have focused on groups while downplaying individual differences, according to University of St Andrews animal behavior researcher Mike Webster, who was not involved. “This study brings those two research streams together,” showing that animal personalities are flexible yet consistent, he says. 8. What made sticklebacks chosen for the study? A. Coastal habitat. B. Safety awareness. C. Strong individuality. D. Social flexibility. 9. Which best describes the impact of group dynamics on individual personalities? A. Predictable. B. Temporary. C. Immediate. D. Slight. 10. What does the underlined word “conform” mean in paragraph 5? A. Control. B. Choose. C. Follow. D. Escape. 11. What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph? A. It fills a gap in animal behavior research. B. It reveals the role of animal group behavior. C. It challenges adaptable animal personalities. D. It proves animal personalities disappear in groups. D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 12. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 13. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D.

I want specific details. Begin!” I sat with my pencil over my paper. For a moment, I hesitated. I knew I didn’t really have someone like that. Still, I lowered my head and began to write: My best friend is Hayley. She plays the cello (大提琴), like I do, and we go to orchestra every Saturday. She makes people laugh, and whenever I feel nervous, she tells me, “You’ve got this.” We’ve been best friends since fourth grade. I knew Hayley wasn’t real, but it was easier than explaining why I didn’t have a best friend. In fact, there was a girl in my orchestra class, Emily, who usually practiced the cello in the music room. Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold after a rehearsal (排练) and gave me an encouraging smile. “You’ve got this,” she said softly. I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage, never showing the slightest impatience. We didn’t talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation, but I couldn’t forget her kindness. Without realizing it, I had borrowed pieces of her to create Hayley. At school, I didn’t have real friends. My classmates were polite and kind, but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out. When I needed someone, I didn’t know who to turn to. When loneliness came over, I would imagine someone like Emily beside me, her gentle voice offering encouragement. She was the friend I wished I could have. The next day, Ms. Garcia returned my essay with a bright red “A”. “Hayley sounds wonderful! I’ve signed you and her up to perform a cello duo (二重奏) at next Friday’s Cultural Festival.” My heart skipped a beat. The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap. I was totally at a loss. 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。 Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
