In his senior year of high school, Slocumb’s family found their home broken into after a trip abroad. Slocumb, who had been playing the violin since he was nine, went immediately to the hiding spot under his bed. “I looked. My instrument was gone. I looked again. It was gone,” he said. The stolen violin is one of many life experiences Slocumb drew upon to write his book, The Violin Conspiracy. It tells the story of Ray McMillan, a gifted violinist whose family violin is stolen just before one of the world-class music competitions. For both Slocumb and his character Ray, the violin was a means to get away from a difficult childhood and a ticket to college and a promising job. After graduating from college with a degree in music education, Slocumb has taught music to students from primary through high school for more than 20 years. Writing the book was a chance to celebrate Slocumb’s success and honour the people who helped him along the way. In the book, Ray’s grandma Nora — his first supporter — is named after Slocumb’s grandmother. And Ray’s mentor (导师) Janice is based on Dr. Rachel Vetter Huang, Slocumb’s college teacher, whom he calls “a life-saving force”. The Violin Conspiracy has been praised for its lively descriptions. After it came on the market in 2022, thank-yous poured in. Slocumb heard from many Black musicians who said “This is a story that I’ve been carrying along as well. I experienced the same things Ray has gone through in the story, and no one would believe me. Now it’s out there in the world to see.” 4. What can be learned about Slocumb’s stolen violin? A. It meant a lot to him. B. It was stolen by a foreigner. C. It had been with him for 9 years. D. It was found hidden under his bed. 5. What can we know about Dr. Rachel Vetter Huang? A. She had saved Slocumb’s life. B. She wrote books in her spare time. C. She gave Slocumb much support. D. She taught music in a high school. 6. What message did these Black musicians want to express? A. They praised the violin. B. They wrote a thank-you letter. C. They went through tougher times. D. They were thankful for Slocumb’s work. 7. What is the text? A. A children’s story. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A lesson plan. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Brendan Slocumb结合自身小提琴被盗经历创作《小提琴阴谋》及该书的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For both Slocumb and his character Ray, the violin was a means to get away from a difficult childhood and a ticket to college and a promising job. (对Slocumb和他笔下的人物Ray来说，这把小提琴是摆脱艰难童年的途径，也是上大学和获得有前途工作的门票。)”可知，被盗的小提琴对Slocumb意义重大。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“And Ray’s mentor (导师) Janice is based on Dr. Rachel Vetter Huang, Slocumb’s college teacher, whom he calls “a life-saving force”. (Ray的导师Janice是以Slocumb的大学老师Rachel Vetter Huang博士为原型的，他称她为“救命的力量”。)”可知，Rachel Vetter Huang博士给了Slocumb很多支持。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Slocumb heard from many Black musicians who said “This is a story that I’ve been carrying along as well. I experienced the same things Ray has gone through in the story, and no one would believe me. Now it’s out there in the world to see.” (Slocumb收到了许多黑人音乐家的来信，他们说“这也是我一直藏在心里的故事。我经历了Ray在故事中经历的同样的事情，却没有人相信我。现在它终于公之于众了。”)”可知，这些黑人音乐家很感谢Slocumb的作品，因为作品道出了他们的经历。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕Brendan Slocumb的个人经历、其作品《小提琴阴谋》的创作背景、原型及出版后的反响展开，属于对人物及作品的客观报道，因此本文是一篇新闻报道。故选B。 C Has your mom or dad ever posted a photo of you on social media that you don’t want anyone outside your family to see? In an age where people regularly share personal information on websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, many parents post photos of their children on a regular basis. On average, a parent will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the children turn 5, according to a survey. Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their children’s milestones and special moments with friends and family. Some moms and dads do it as a way to connect with other parents. They may be seeking health tips or other parenting advice. Most parents don’t consult their children for permission before posting photos of them. They feel it is not necessary to consult the children first because the benefits outweigh (比……更重要) any possible risks. Other parents and child experts believe that children older than age 6 should be consulted. They say that the photos can stay online for many years and that children should have some control over their online presence. Devorah Heitner is an author who runs workshops about children and digital world. She believes that parents should set their children’s consent before posting their photos. “It teaches your child that his or her image is his or her own,” she said. “It helps their recognize that sharing is a choice and that some things are private.” What do you think?

Whether posting children’s photo online is good for them. C. The reasons why parents like to post their children’s photos online. D. Whether parents should get children’s permission before posting their photos. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了如今家长常网上发孩子日常照片，多为分享成长瞬间、交流育儿经验，是否需征得孩子同意，专家与家长对此持有不同看法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their children’s milestones and special moments with friends and family.(家长们常常在社交媒体上发布照片，因为他们想与朋友和家人分享孩子成长过程中的重要时刻和特别瞬间)”可推知，父母把孩子的照片放到网上，可能是为了分享孩子毕业典礼。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Most parents don’t consult their children for permission before posting photos of them.(大多数父母在上传孩子的照片之前不会征求孩子的同意)”可推知，划线词所在句子意为“她认为，父母在上传照片之前应该征得孩子的同意。”由此推知，划线词consent意为“同意”，与permission意思相近。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She believes that parents should set their children’s consent before posting their photos. “It teaches your child that his or her image is his or her own,” she said. “It helps their recognize that sharing is a choice and that some things are private.”(她认为，父母在上传照片之前应该征得孩子的同意。“它告诉你的孩子，他或她的形象是他或她自己的。”她说。“这有助于他们的孩子认识到分享是一种选择，有些东西是隐私。”)”可推知，她认为父母应该教育他们的孩子，照片是他们的隐私。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据最后一段“What do you think? Should parents get their children’s permission before posting photos?(你怎么看？在上传照片之前，父母应该得到孩子的允许吗？)”可知，文章主要说明了如今家长常网上发孩子日常照片，多为分享成长瞬间、交流育儿经验，是否需征得孩子同意，专家与家长对此持有不同看法，即文章主要讨论了父母上传照片之前是否应该征得孩子的同意。 D The family, wing length and wing color of tropical butterflies all influence their ability to withstand rising temperatures, say researchers at the University of Cambridge. They believe this could help identify species whose survival is under threat from climate change. Butterflies use two strategies to fight against changing air temperatures: thermal buffering (热缓冲) — adaptive behavior like flying to a shaded area to maintain a steady body temperature, and thermal tolerance — dependence on physiological (生理学的) mechanism to prevent overheating. Both of these strategies are needed to deal with climate change. However, deforestation leading to a potential lack of forest cover means tropical butterflies may have to rely on physiological method. Researchers cooperated with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) to study thermoregulation (体温调节) strategies of tropical butterflies. To assess thermal buffering abilities, scientists collected data from multiple habitats in Panama. Equipped with hand-held nets, they took the temperature of over 1,000 butterflies and compared each to that of the surrounding air. To assess thermal tolerance, at STRI Gamboa facilities, a few butterflies were placed in a glass jar within a water bath with a steadily increasing temperature. The results showed butterflies with large wings tended to have higher thermal buffering ability, but a lower thermal tolerance. Butterflies with dark wings were found to tolerate heat better than those with pale wings. Notably, butterflies from the Lycaenidae family with small, bright wings had the poorest thermal buffering and thermal tolerance abilities. Lead author Esme Ashe-Jepson said, “As temperatures continue to rise, and forests get smaller and further apart because of deforestation, butterflies which rely on their surroundings to avoid high temperatures may not be able to travel between forests, or deal with increasingly common heatwaves.” If temperatures continue to rise alongside deforestation and loss of cool microclimates, there is a very real threat that we could lose many species in this family. 12. What might be the main focus of the research? A. Survival strategies of at-risk butterflies. B. Factors in butterflies’ heat-resistant abilities. C. Butterfly species endangered by warming. D. Physical characteristics of tropical butterflies. 13. What can be learned about the thermoregulation strategies? A. Thermal buffering isn’t always possible to use. B. Thermal tolerance tends to be more effective. C. Thermal tolerance isn’t limited by surroundings. D. Thermal buffering interacts with thermal tolerance. 14. How did the researchers reach their conclusions? A. By comparing 1,000 different species. B. By doing small-scale water-bath trials. C. By referring to collected data of STRI. D. By combining field and lab experiments. 15. What do the researchers find? A. The paler-winged tolerate higher temperature. B. Smaller butterflies have lower thermal tolerance. C. Darker butterflies are hardest hit by heatwaves. D. The larger-winged stabilize body temperature better. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍剑桥大学研究人员发现热带蝴蝶的科属、翅长和翅色影响其耐高温能力，并介绍研究过程与结论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The family, wing length and wing color of tropical butterflies all influence their ability to withstand rising temperatures, say researchers at the University of Cambridge.(剑桥大学的研究人员表示，热带蝴蝶的科属、翅长和翅色都会影响它们承受气温上升的能力)”可知，研究的核心是影响蝴蝶耐高温能力的因素。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, deforestation leading to a potential lack of forest cover means tropical butterflies may have to rely on physiological method.(然而，森林砍伐导致森林覆盖可能不足，这意味着热带蝴蝶可能不得不依赖生理方法)”可知，热缓冲需要依赖森林等周围环境，而森林砍伐会导致热缓冲无法实现，即热缓冲并非总能使用。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To assess thermal buffering abilities, scientists collected data from multiple habitats in Panama. Equipped with hand-held nets, they took the temperature of over 1,000 butterflies and compared each to that of the surrounding air. To assess thermal tolerance, at STRI Gamboa facilities, a few butterflies were placed in a glass jar within a water bath with a steadily increasing temperature.(为了评估热缓冲能力，科学家们从巴拿马的多个栖息地收集数据。他们手持网，测量了1000多只蝴蝶的体温，并将每只蝴蝶的体温与周围空气的温度进行比较。为了评估耐热性，在史密森热带研究所的甘博亚设施中，几只蝴蝶被放入装有水的玻璃罐中，水温稳步升高)”可知，研究人员通过野外实地测量（评估热缓冲能力）和实验室实验（评估耐热性）相结合的方式得出结论。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The results showed butterflies with large wings tended to have higher thermal buffering ability, but a lower thermal tolerance.(结果显示，翅膀较大的蝴蝶往往具有较高的热缓冲能力，但耐热性较低)”可知，翅膀较大的蝴蝶能更好地稳定体温（热缓冲能力强）。故选D项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, most pet owners are facing a problem: Pets easily feel anxiety when they are left home alone for too long, but people’s busy lifestyles often lead to shorter time at home. ____16____ Here are some tips to keep your pets happy when you go out.

D 17. E 18. A 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了许多宠物因主人忙碌独自在家而产生分离焦虑。文章分别给出针对猫咪和狗狗的建议，如提供刺激、玩具、背景音乐、逐步适应分离，以缓解它们的负面情绪。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Pets easily feel anxiety when they are left home alone for too long, but people’s busy lifestyles often lead to shorter time at home.(宠物独自在家太久很容易感到焦虑，但人们忙碌的生活方式往往导致在家时间更短)”可知，宠物独自在家太久会感到焦虑，而主人又很忙，故本句与上文构成因果关系，指出这给宠物的幸福带来了很多担忧，所以选项D“这给宠物的幸福生活带来了诸多困扰”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“If there are other cats at home, they will create games, enjoying each other’s company.( 如果家里有其他猫，它们会创造游戏，享受彼此的陪伴)”可知，如果家里有其他猫，它们会一起玩，后文提到“Leaving the TV or radio on can help, and while you choose their favorite programme, you can’t go far wrong with classical music.(打开电视或收音机有帮助，当你选择它们最喜欢的节目时，古典音乐不会错)”可知，如果猫独自在家，可以打开电视或收音机，也就是说如果猫独自在家就需要其他刺激，所以选项E“但如果它们独自一人的话，它们就需要其他形式的刺激”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据后文“They will keep your cats physically and mentally busy, which will lessen the separation anxiety. Some of the toys are also practical for your home, such as scratching posts (猫抓板) to prevent the furniture from being scratched.(它们会让您的猫咪在身体和精神上都保持忙碌状态，从而减轻它们的分离焦虑情绪。其中一些玩具还非常适合在家中使用，比如猫抓板，可以防止家具被划伤)”可知，本段主要讲的是猫玩具可以减轻猫的分离焦虑，本句总起后文，指出玩具的作用。所以选项A“许多猫咪玩具也有一定的帮助作用”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Dogs also dislike being left alone and unluckily they can’t tell whether it’s been ten minutes or ten hours, and the displeasure felt is very similar.(狗也不喜欢被单独留下，不幸的是，它们无法分辨是十分钟还是十小时，而且它们感受到的不快非常相似)”可知，狗也不喜欢被单独留下，结合后文“Background noise from the TV or radio can also help them feel less alone(电视或收音机的背景噪音也能让它们感觉不那么孤单)”可知，本段主要讲的是如何缓解狗独自在家时的分离焦虑，故本句与上文构成转折，指出至少可以缓解这种负面情绪，所以选项C“但你至少可以尽力缓解它们的不良情绪”符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“You can also gradually lengthen the distance and time of your separation until your dogs can be left alone for 20 minutes without showing their usual symptoms of sadness and stress.(你也可以逐渐延长分离的距离和时间，直到你的狗可以独自呆20分钟而不表现出通常的悲伤和压力症状)”可知，狗可以逐渐适应独自在家，结合后文“In this way, they can disconnect your absence with negativity.(这样，它们就不会把你的缺席与消极情绪联系起来)”可知，狗可以逐渐适应独自在家，本句说明这一方法的好处：不会把你的缺席与消极情绪联系起来，所以选项F“通过这种方式，他们就能将你的缺席与负面情绪区分开来”符合语境。故选F。 非选择题部分 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One cold Thanksgiving morning when I was a little child, my family had nothing to eat.

His body ached all over, and his stomach made loud noises, reminding him it was time to eat. With a tired sigh, he picked up his phone and ordered his favorite Kung Pao Chicken from his usual restaurant. He thought his food would arrive in about 30 minutes and that he would feel better soon. But over 40 minutes passed, and there was still no sign of food. Mike looked unhappy and kept drumming his fingers on the arm of the sofa. He checked the food delivery app and got angrier when he saw that it still said “Preparing your order”. Therefore, he called the restaurant right away. “Hello, I ordered my food more than 40 minutes ago,” Mike said angrily as soon as someone answered the phone. “When will it be here?” “I’m really sorry, sir,” a worried voice replied. “Something unexpected happened. We’ll deliver your food as soon as possible.” On the phone, Mike heard chaotic (杂乱的) noises — shouting, hurried footsteps, and even what sounded like an ambulance siren (警笛). Half an hour later, the food finally arrived. Mike took the bag and shut the door hard, without giving the delivery man a chance to explain. Then he left a onestar review, sharing his terrible experience with everyone. The next morning, Mike saw a message from the restaurant owner right under his review. The owner wrote, “Dear customer, we’re very sorry for the delay. An emergency occurred at our restaurant last night. We had to deal with it, so we couldn’t deliver your meal on time. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and we’d like to offer you a free meal.” Mike didn’t believe the restaurant owner at all. He thought the owner was just lying in an attempt to get him to remove the negative review. He rejected the owner’s offer and replied that lies wouldn’t help his business. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式作答。 Unexpectedly, Mike saw a video of what happened at the restaurant that night on social media. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mike decided to go to the restaurant to apologize to the owner. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Unexpectedly, Mike saw a video of what happened at the restaurant that night on social media. In the video, a customer suddenly fell down while eating. The restaurant owner rushed to help and immediately called an ambulance. While waiting for the ambulance, the owner kept talking to the customer, trying to keep him conscious. When the ambulance arrived, the staff carefully carried the customer to the ambulance. Other people at the restaurant filmed the incident and posted it online. After watching the video, Mike realized he was wrong about the owner. Mike decided to go to the restaurant to apologize to the owner. When he got there, he said with awkward sincerity, “I was wrong. I’m really sorry.” Then he removed his negative review from the food delivery app and shared the owner’s story in detail. Many people read the story and were moved by the owner’s kindness. The restaurant’s business even got better. Mike learned that it’s important to understand others before judging them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了疲惫的迈克下班后点了外卖，餐品迟迟未到，他十分生气，给餐馆打了电话还留下一星差评。店主留言解释因店内有顾客突发意外耽误送餐，并提出免单致歉。迈克起初并不相信，后来看到网上相关视频，了解了真相，主动登门道歉、删除差评并善意分享此事，也明白了切勿随意评判他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写迈克看到网上相关视频，了解了真相。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写迈克主动登门道歉、删除差评并善意分享此事，也明白了切勿随意评判他人。 2.续写线索：看到视频——了解真相——上门道歉——删除差评——迈克感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①急忙：rush to/hurry to ②删除：remove/delete 情绪类 ①尴尬的：awkward/embarrassed ②感动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1] After watching the video, Mike realized he was wrong about the owner.（运用了动名词作宾语） [高分句型2] When the ambulance arrived, the staff carefully carried the customer to the ambulance.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 芜湖一中20252026学年第二学期期中教学质量检测 高一英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 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，再选涂其他答案标号。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，只交答题卡。 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.

B Even though it’s been more than 30 years, Brendan Slocumb still feels the heartbreak over his stolen violin. In his senior year of high school, Slocumb’s family found their home broken into after a trip abroad. Slocumb, who had been playing the violin since he was nine, went immediately to the hiding spot under his bed. “I looked. My instrument was gone. I looked again. It was gone,” he said. The stolen violin is one of many life experiences Slocumb drew upon to write his book, The Violin Conspiracy. It tells the story of Ray McMillan, a gifted violinist whose family violin is stolen just before one of the world-class music competitions. For both Slocumb and his character Ray, the violin was a means to get away from a difficult childhood and a ticket to college and a promising job. After graduating from college with a degree in music education, Slocumb has taught music to students from primary through high school for more than 20 years. Writing the book was a chance to celebrate Slocumb’s success and honour the people who helped him along the way. In the book, Ray’s grandma Nora — his first supporter — is named after Slocumb’s grandmother. And Ray’s mentor (导师) Janice is based on Dr. Rachel Vetter Huang, Slocumb’s college teacher, whom he calls “a life-saving force”. The Violin Conspiracy has been praised for its lively descriptions. After it came on the market in 2022, thank-yous poured in. Slocumb heard from many Black musicians who said “This is a story that I’ve been carrying along as well. I experienced the same things Ray has gone through in the story, and no one would believe me. Now it’s out there in the world to see.” 4. What can be learned about Slocumb’s stolen violin? A. It meant a lot to him. B. It was stolen by a foreigner. C. It had been with him for 9 years. D. It was found hidden under his bed. 5. What can we know about Dr. Rachel Vetter Huang? A. She had saved Slocumb’s life. B. She wrote books in her spare time. C. She gave Slocumb much support. D. She taught music in a high school. 6. What message did these Black musicians want to express? A. They praised the violin. B. They wrote a thank-you letter. C. They went through tougher times. D. They were thankful for Slocumb’s work. 7. What is the text? A. A children’s story. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A lesson plan. C Has your mom or dad ever posted a photo of you on social media that you don’t want anyone outside your family to see? In an age where people regularly share personal information on websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, many parents post photos of their children on a regular basis. On average, a parent will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the children turn 5, according to a survey. Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their children’s milestones and special moments with friends and family. Some moms and dads do it as a way to connect with other parents. They may be seeking health tips or other parenting advice. Most parents don’t consult their children for permission before posting photos of them. They feel it is not necessary to consult the children first because the benefits outweigh (比……更重要) any possible risks. Other parents and child experts believe that children older than age 6 should be consulted. They say that the photos can stay online for many years and that children should have some control over their online presence. Devorah Heitner is an author who runs workshops about children and digital world. She believes that parents should set their children’s consent before posting their photos. “It teaches your child that his or her image is his or her own,” she said. “It helps their recognize that sharing is a choice and that some things are private.” What do you think? Should parents get their children’s permission before posting photos? 8. What might be the reason that parents put their children’s photos online? A. To catch others’ attention. B. To communicate with their children. C. To show off their children’s pretty looks. D. To share their children’s graduation ceremony. 9. What does the underlined word “consent” in paragraph 3 mean? A.

Whether parents should get children’s permission before posting their photos. D The family, wing length and wing color of tropical butterflies all influence their ability to withstand rising temperatures, say researchers at the University of Cambridge. They believe this could help identify species whose survival is under threat from climate change. Butterflies use two strategies to fight against changing air temperatures: thermal buffering (热缓冲) — adaptive behavior like flying to a shaded area to maintain a steady body temperature, and thermal tolerance — dependence on physiological (生理学的) mechanism to prevent overheating. Both of these strategies are needed to deal with climate change. However, deforestation leading to a potential lack of forest cover means tropical butterflies may have to rely on physiological method. Researchers cooperated with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) to study thermoregulation (体温调节) strategies of tropical butterflies. To assess thermal buffering abilities, scientists collected data from multiple habitats in Panama. Equipped with hand-held nets, they took the temperature of over 1,000 butterflies and compared each to that of the surrounding air. To assess thermal tolerance, at STRI Gamboa facilities, a few butterflies were placed in a glass jar within a water bath with a steadily increasing temperature. The results showed butterflies with large wings tended to have higher thermal buffering ability, but a lower thermal tolerance. Butterflies with dark wings were found to tolerate heat better than those with pale wings. Notably, butterflies from the Lycaenidae family with small, bright wings had the poorest thermal buffering and thermal tolerance abilities. Lead author Esme Ashe-Jepson said, “As temperatures continue to rise, and forests get smaller and further apart because of deforestation, butterflies which rely on their surroundings to avoid high temperatures may not be able to travel between forests, or deal with increasingly common heatwaves.” If temperatures continue to rise alongside deforestation and loss of cool microclimates, there is a very real threat that we could lose many species in this family. 12. What might be the main focus of the research? A. Survival strategies of at-risk butterflies. B. Factors in butterflies’ heat-resistant abilities. C. Butterfly species endangered by warming. D. Physical characteristics of tropical butterflies. 13. What can be learned about the thermoregulation strategies? A. Thermal buffering isn’t always possible to use. B. Thermal tolerance tends to be more effective. C. Thermal tolerance isn’t limited by surroundings. D. Thermal buffering interacts with thermal tolerance. 14. How did the researchers reach their conclusions? A. By comparing 1,000 different species. B. By doing small-scale water-bath trials. C. By referring to collected data of STRI. D. By combining field and lab experiments. 15. What do the researchers find? A. The paler-winged tolerate higher temperature. B. Smaller butterflies have lower thermal tolerance. C. Darker butterflies are hardest hit by heatwaves. D. The larger-winged stabilize body temperature better. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, most pet owners are facing a problem: Pets easily feel anxiety when they are left home alone for too long, but people’s busy lifestyles often lead to shorter time at home. ____16____ Here are some tips to keep your pets happy when you go out.

His body ached all over, and his stomach made loud noises, reminding him it was time to eat. With a tired sigh, he picked up his phone and ordered his favorite Kung Pao Chicken from his usual restaurant. He thought his food would arrive in about 30 minutes and that he would feel better soon. But over 40 minutes passed, and there was still no sign of food. Mike looked unhappy and kept drumming his fingers on the arm of the sofa. He checked the food delivery app and got angrier when he saw that it still said “Preparing your order”. Therefore, he called the restaurant right away. “Hello, I ordered my food more than 40 minutes ago,” Mike said angrily as soon as someone answered the phone. “When will it be here?” “I’m really sorry, sir,” a worried voice replied. “Something unexpected happened. We’ll deliver your food as soon as possible.” On the phone, Mike heard chaotic (杂乱的) noises — shouting, hurried footsteps, and even what sounded like an ambulance siren (警笛). Half an hour later, the food finally arrived. Mike took the bag and shut the door hard, without giving the delivery man a chance to explain. Then he left a onestar review, sharing his terrible experience with everyone. The next morning, Mike saw a message from the restaurant owner right under his review. The owner wrote, “Dear customer, we’re very sorry for the delay. An emergency occurred at our restaurant last night. We had to deal with it, so we couldn’t deliver your meal on time. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and we’d like to offer you a free meal.” Mike didn’t believe the restaurant owner at all. He thought the owner was just lying in an attempt to get him to remove the negative review. He rejected the owner’s offer and replied that lies wouldn’t help his business. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式作答。 Unexpectedly, Mike saw a video of what happened at the restaurant that night on social media. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mike decided to go to the restaurant to apologize to the owner. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
