Peter, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s(鳄鱼的) back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported. Mrs. Peter was standing on a river bank on a Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged(扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater. Peter, who had been collecting water with his wife, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked(戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free. Mrs. Peter was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds(伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers. “This could have been a fatal and tragic situation.” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital(RDH). Dr. Len Notaras. according to a local report. He said Mrs. Peter was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”. Dr. Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria(细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile. 4. This passage is most likely to be found in . A. a travel guide B. a textbook C. a newspaper D. a novel 5. The crocodile attacked Mrs. Peter when she was . A. watching the crocodile B. swimming in the river C. standing on the river bank D. fishing in the water 6. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mrs. Peter? A. Her eyes were badly poked. B. She had eight wounds altogether. C. One of the crocodile’s teeth was found in her leg. D. One of her fingers also got hurt. 7. According to the passage, Peter can be described as the following EXCEPT . A. humorous B. diligent C. brave D. quick The soft song of the wren (鹪鹩) once commonly marked sunrise in the central Amazon jungle. But recently, it was a rare wonder when the song cut through the morning darkness. This has received little public attention, yet it is ringing alarm bells among bird scientists. According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama. By comparing long-term bird monitoring data over recent decades, researchers have found birds are disappearing from surprising places — expanses of forest untouched by fires, logging or human clearing. These aren’t migratory species in decline because of habitat loss on distant continents; many spend their entire lives in a single area of trees. Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent. Given that insect populations are highly sensitive to temperature and rainfall changes, scientists suspect climate change might be the underlying cause of the birds’ decline. To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon. They set up irrigation systems in undisturbed forest plots, supplementing dry-season rainfall to reproduce the wetter conditions of the 1980s. Early results are promising: compared with birds in unwatered areas, those in watered areas have higher fat levels, fewer stress signals and more active reproductive behavior. Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests. Higher dry-season temperatures and unstable rainfall patterns damage the food chain by reducing insect numbers. Although the research might help explain why birds are disappearing, it may not point to any solutions. “The best that we can do is really try to slow down climate change as much as possible,” says Corey Tarwater, a University of Wyoming ecologist. 8. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1? A. Damage to forest bird habitats. B. Secrets of biodiversity reserves. C. Decline of forest bird populations. D. Threats to endangered bird species. 9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Forest birds hardly rely on insects for food. B. Food shortage accounts for the loss of birds. C. Migratory birds are facing greater challenges. D. Human activities are to blame for bird decline. 10. Why did researchers conduct the Amazon experiment? A. To figure out effects of climate on birds. B. To restore damaged rainforest ecosystems. C. To increase insect numbers in dry seasons. D. To protect endangered insect-eating birds. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Forest Birds: The Victims of Habitat Destruction B. Irrigation Test: A Crucial Lifeline for Forest Birds C. Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds D.

As a freezing cold winter draws near, the winter blues often sets in — a low mood marked by feeling sadder, less energized or less interested in activities than usual. ____15____ Here is what you can do to get it over. Laughter is the best medicine that stimulates brain activity to relieve depressive symptoms. ____16____ You can get the greatest gift from them: a hearty laugh. Laughter is highly infectious, so invite friends to join you and share the popcorn. While prolonged screen time isn’t advised, an occasional movie marathon is perfect on cold days. It’s essential to build activities into your day and give yourself a manageable task to complete. Even chores like cleaning the floor will give you a sense of competence and achievement. ____17____ You can treat yourself to fresh flowers or homemade cup of hot cocoa. These fun or meaningful things are the basis for behavioral activation, a vital means of boosting spirits. ____18____ If a coworker’s upcoming Bermuda vacation sparks your travel wish, plan a local staycation-even a mini one, for example, a Sunday afternoon ice skating with friends, trying a new nearby restaurant or going to a concert. All this requires neither a big budget nor time off work but still cheers you up. Lack of sunshine disturbs the body’s biological clock, leading to a drop in serotonin (血清素) and vitamin D levels, and therefore, your mood and energy levels. If you have flexibility and the weather allows, try to schedule early-morning walks or lunchtime jogs outside to get more natural light. ____19____ A. Stop thinking about unpleasant stuff. B. Line up a bunch of comedies to watch. C. Positive habits can promote self-discipline. D. But do balance your hard work with minor joys. E. They’ll brighten your day and recharge your energy. F. If ignored, it’ll worsen into a serious mental disorder. G. People get a mood lift with something to look forward to. 三、完形填空 Puuwai was just 4 years old when he arrived at the Children’s Health Center. His heart was ____20____.

Christie’s had estimated the painting would sell for $55 million. The sale confirms the vitality of the art market despite the COVID-19 pandemic — but also the special status of Picasso, who was born in 1881 and died in 1973. “The ____37____ (general) good performance of Thursday’s auctions, totaling $481 million, signals a real return to normal and also a message that the art market is really back on track,” said Bonnie Brennan, president of Christie’s America.

When arriving there, David saw two cars that had crashed into each other. One of the cars was a police patrol car. The scene looked very terrible, and there were some people standing around who were worried and scared. Thick smoke was rising from the cars, and the smell of oil filled the air. Amidst all this mess, David noticed that something was not right with the police car. David quickly checked the car. He soon found a man trapped inside. That man was Officer Mark Kimsey. His body was stuck under the broken glass and twisted metal, and it was clear that he needed help right away. David was scared, his heart beating fast, but his mind stayed clear. As he approached the car, David could feel the heat radiating(散发)from it. The situation looked very dangerous. The car was likely to catch fire anytime. Even though the heat was strong, David did not lose his focus. His training as a firefighter had prepared him well for such moments. He did not think about the danger that lay ahead. All he thought about was to save Officer Kimsey. At the same time, a kind passerby joined David to help at once. Together, they planned to pull the trapped officer out through one of the broken windows. The window was the only way out because the main door was stuck. Every second counted as the air inside the car was filled with smoke. They had to act fast. 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。 David reached inside the car and found Officer Kimsey’s hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the days that followed, the story of David’s rescue spread far and wide. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖南省常德市汉寿县第一中学2025—2026学年 高三下学期期中考试英语试卷 一、听力选择题 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述亚马逊等雨林鸟类数量莫名减少，研究探究其原因，证实气候变化是未受干扰雨林鸟类减少的潜在威胁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama.(根据他们的研究，从巴西亚马逊雨林到厄瓜多尔和巴拿马的保护区，许多鸟类物种正变得越来越稀少。)”可知，第一段呈现了森林鸟类种群数量下降的现象。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent. (进一步研究表明，所有被研究的鸟类物种如今的体重都低于20世纪80年代，这说明它们的食物摄入不足。受影响最严重的是以昆虫为食的鸟类，包括琴鹪鹩和黑尾拾叶雀，其中部分种类的数量减少了接近80%。)”可知，食物短缺是鸟类数量减少的原因。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon.(为探究气候模式与鸟类生存之间的确切联系，研究人员在亚马逊开展了一项实验。)”可知，研究者做实验是为了弄清气候对鸟类的影响。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests.(结合长期观测与实验证据，科学家得出结论：气候变化是未受干扰雨林鸟类数量莫名减少的主要原因。)”以及文章先介绍雨林鸟类数量锐减现象、分析食物短缺现状、开展气候关联实验并最终锁定气候变化为主因可知，文章核心围绕气候变化对森林鸟类构成隐性威胁展开，文章围绕气候变化暗中威胁森林鸟类生存展开论述，所以“Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds(气候变化：森林鸟类的隐性威胁)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 It’s time to share the winners of this year’s Invent It Challenge!

He was hit by four adults on a ski trip! (来自加利福尼亚州的Kabir在经历了一次不那么有趣的经历后，想出了这个很酷的发明。他在一次滑雪旅行中被四个成年人撞倒了！)”和ProTech Helmet部分中的“She came up with the idea after getting hit right under the eye at a frisbee competition and realizing she could get blinded if it were any higher.

Laughter is the best medicine that stimulates brain activity to relieve depressive symptoms. ____16____ You can get the greatest gift from them: a hearty laugh. Laughter is highly infectious, so invite friends to join you and share the popcorn. While prolonged screen time isn’t advised, an occasional movie marathon is perfect on cold days. It’s essential to build activities into your day and give yourself a manageable task to complete. Even chores like cleaning the floor will give you a sense of competence and achievement. ____17____ You can treat yourself to fresh flowers or homemade cup of hot cocoa. These fun or meaningful things are the basis for behavioral activation, a vital means of boosting spirits. ____18____ If a coworker’s upcoming Bermuda vacation sparks your travel wish, plan a local staycation-even a mini one, for example, a Sunday afternoon ice skating with friends, trying a new nearby restaurant or going to a concert. All this requires neither a big budget nor time off work but still cheers you up. Lack of sunshine disturbs the body’s biological clock, leading to a drop in serotonin (血清素) and vitamin D levels, and therefore, your mood and energy levels. If you have flexibility and the weather allows, try to schedule early-morning walks or lunchtime jogs outside to get more natural light. ____19____ A. Stop thinking about unpleasant stuff. B. Line up a bunch of comedies to watch. C. Positive habits can promote self-discipline. D. But do balance your hard work with minor joys. E. They’ll brighten your day and recharge your energy. F. If ignored, it’ll worsen into a serious mental disorder. G. People get a mood lift with something to look forward to. 【答案】15. F 16. B 17. D 18. G 19.

Everything seemed normal that night until a loud crash(碰撞)broke the quiet near his sister’s house. Without thinking twice, David ran toward the sound to see what had happened. When arriving there, David saw two cars that had crashed into each other. One of the cars was a police patrol car. The scene looked very terrible, and there were some people standing around who were worried and scared. Thick smoke was rising from the cars, and the smell of oil filled the air. Amidst all this mess, David noticed that something was not right with the police car. David quickly checked the car. He soon found a man trapped inside. That man was Officer Mark Kimsey. His body was stuck under the broken glass and twisted metal, and it was clear that he needed help right away. David was scared, his heart beating fast, but his mind stayed clear. As he approached the car, David could feel the heat radiating(散发)from it. The situation looked very dangerous. The car was likely to catch fire anytime. Even though the heat was strong, David did not lose his focus. His training as a firefighter had prepared him well for such moments. He did not think about the danger that lay ahead. All he thought about was to save Officer Kimsey. At the same time, a kind passerby joined David to help at once. Together, they planned to pull the trapped officer out through one of the broken windows. The window was the only way out because the main door was stuck. Every second counted as the air inside the car was filled with smoke. They had to act fast. 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。 David reached inside the car and found Officer Kimsey’s hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the days that followed, the story of David’s rescue spread far and wide. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: David reached inside the car and found Officer Kimsey’s hand. He tightly gripped it, trying to reassure the injured officer. “Hold on, sir. We’re going to get you out,” David said calmly, despite his racing heart. The passerby and David worked together, pulling with all their strength. Finally, with one last heave, they managed to free Officer Kimsey from the wreckage and dragged him to safety just as flames erupted from the car. They laid him on the ground. Soon sirens wailed in the distance as an ambulance and fire crew thundered onto the scene. In the days that followed, the story of David’s rescue spread far and wide. Local news stations covered the event, praising David’s bravery. He received calls and messages of gratitude from people he had never met.
