You saved my life a decade ago by making a decision that only a mother as extraordinary as you could make. On 26 December 2014, both our lives changed forever. Karthick, your beloved son, was brought to Tirupur Government Hospital, near Coimbatore, in southern India, after a tragic road accident. He was later transferred to G. Kuppusamy Naidu Memorial (GKNM) Hospital. When the doctors declared him brain dead, you had to face the unthinkable, holding his hand, saying your silent goodbyes. In the depths of that unimaginable grief, Mom, you made a choice that speaks of boundless courage and selflessness. You not only gave me Karthick’s heart but also donated five other organs, giving the gift of life to six strangers. You made this difficult decision without ever questioning the race, religion, or nationality. Your decision was solely about saving lives. Today, as a father of two growing children, I can truly understand the magnitude of your sacrifice. I can only imagine the storm of emotions you must have battled. Did you question if it was the right decision? Did you fear it was too much to bear? And yet, in the darkest hour of your life, you chose life for others. You chose hope. I know Karthick must be so proud of you, as am I, Mom. I am alive today because of your strength. Tearing apart the political divide, I have longed to meet you, Mom. I have travelled to Chennai several times since receiving Karthick’s heart, always hoping to somehow find a way to Coimbatore. But my medical visa restricts me from travelling outside Chennai. You might be wondering why I don’t even call you? Names of donors and recipients are kept confidential, and I feel helpless. Allah tells us in The Qur’an, “Whoever saves a life, it is as if they saved all of humanity.” Mom, you embody it. I love you, Mom, forever and always. Yours always, Faisal 4. What can we learn about Karthick from the text? A. He donated all his organs to six strangers. B. He received treatment in GKNM Hospital. C. He died immediately in the road accident. D. He was a man of courage and selflessness. 5. Which of the following words can best describe the mother? A. Noble and open-minded. B. Friendly and hard-working. C. Loyal and strong-willed. D. Modest and warm-hearted. 6. Why did Faisal feel “helpless” in the letter? A. His poor health prevented his traveling. B. He lost touch with his mother in India. C. He was limited in his travel and contact. D. The government banned border crossing. 7. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this letter? A. To ask for medical assistance. B. To advocate for organ donation. C. To record his transplant experience. D. To express his sincere gratitude. C In Tell Me Where It Hurts, pain psychologist Rachel Zoffness achieves a rare breakthrough: revealing pain’s complexity and offering practical solutions. For decades, pain has been narrowly seen as a direct signal of physical damage. Zoffness challenges this, arguing pain is a “complex cocktail” of physical, emotional, psychological and social ingredients. She uses the “pain recipe” metaphor to make this accessible: just as ingredients combine to make brownie cakes, these elements create pain. Zoffness illustrates this with two nail stories. A construction worker stepped on a 7-inch nail, screaming in great pain, but the nail missed his foot — his pain was real without injury. On the contrary, a man had a 4-inch nail stuck in his face, yet felt little pain. These stories prove pain is not a reliable indicator of bodily harm, breaking the traditional link between damage and discomfort. Zoffness defines pain as a biopsychosocial phenomenon. The U.S. healthcare system focuses only on the biological aspect, missing two-thirds of the problem. She criticizes the system’s over-reliance on drugs and surgeries, noting that chronic (慢性的) pain affects millions, yet clinicians often lack training in holistic (整体的) care. Many pain sufferers feel unheard, as their non-physical struggles are ignored. But she offers hope: we can control some “pain ingredients”. Her book provides behavioral strategies-improving sleep, strengthening social ties, addressing injuries-for patients and providers. She stresses, “Never label pain as incurable.” Moreover, she highlights that holistic care requires a shift in mindset. Clinicians must listen to patients’ full experiences, not just physical symptoms. This shift can empower patients to take an active role in their recovery, turning them from passive recipients to active participants. She also calls for better education of medical professionals on the psychological aspects of pain. Still, Zoffness ends optimistically. Pain, as a “whole-person problem”, needs a “whole-person solution”. Holistic approaches unlock countless paths to relief, offering real hope to those trapped in chronic pain. This vision could reshape pain care for generations. 8. Why does Zoffness use the “pain recipe” metaphor? A. To simplify pain’s biological causes. B. To promote cooking-based pain relief. C. To compare pain to cooking processes. D. To help explain pain’s complex nature. 9. What do the two nail stories show? A. Severe injuries cause severe pain. B. Pain can exist without bodily harm. C. Pain always indicates physical damage. D. Different people react to pain differently. 10. What is Zoffness’s view on the U.S. healthcare system’s handling of chronic pain? A. It’s effective for focusing on biology. B. It’s advanced for offering behavioral treatment. C. It’s faulty for overlooking psychosocial elements. D. It’s successful for avoiding labeling pain as incurable. 11. What does the author imply about holistic approaches to pain? A. They may change how pain is treated. B. They ignore the biological basis of pain. C. They are too complex to carry out widely. D. They have replaced the traditional methods. D Rewilding is a simple concept: areas of wilderness are identified for restoration, native animals and plants are reintroduced, and natural processes take over. The term was coined in the 1990s. Much like nature, language undergoes continuous transformation. To some, rewilding now incorporates the idea of building “corridors” so that species can cross from one area of wilderness to another, as they would have done in pre-human times. To others, it is about letting “natural chaos” take over, meaning any human interference is prohibited. Why might the average person be drawn to the idea of rewilding? Many hold that nostalgia is behind it. The fact is that most of us can’t say, “Where did all those Red Admiral butterflies go, that were once so common in my back garden?” We cannot recall things that are beyond living memory, let alone a time when wild pigs and deer ran through forests. Indeed, we need not be remotely sentimental (多愁善感) to see why biodiversity is desirable. There are numerous benefits to rewilding, such as restoring natural biodiversity and improving the ecological resilience of damaged landscapes. Actually, at the most pragmatic level, without healthy ecosystems, our crops will fail and obviously we will not survive. A workable food chain must start with pollinators, such as bees and hoverflies. Intensive farming, however, has largely removed the wildflowers they feed on and turned much of our landscape into lifeless soil. Only by reintroducing missing insects, plants and animals can we reverse this trend. The idea of rewilding has certainly caught the public eye, and journalists have played their part in this. Some have warned about the potential terrible consequences. Others have showered praise on the plan of releasing beavers back into streams. Devoting attention to efforts like these is no bad thing, yet rewilding is something different altogether: an entire ecosystem becoming self-regulatory and self-sustaining. Furthermore, if the public are to be persuaded of the benefits of rewilding, they must be confident that journalists are providing the full picture. In Spain’s Guadarrama hills, for example, wolves’ return brings conservation joy but raises local concerns over lost sheep and cattle. Honest discussion about this kind of issue is required. Rewilding projects, it has to be said, do not always go as planned. The idea that we should allow nature to reclaim parts of our landscape is far more divisive than say, any proposal for reducing plastic waste or tackling the illegal wildlife trade. Few people would be blind to the advantages of limiting plastic consumption or argue against protecting elephants. Yet not so long ago, no-one gave a second thought to these things. It took the incredible efforts of a few passionate, principled individuals to educate the majority of us through long campaigning and evidence-based argument. Hopefully, fifty years from now, with ecosystems flourishing again, people will question why our generation ever saw rewilding as debated. 12. Why does the author mention Red Admiral butterflies? A. To contradict a claim. B. To justify a comparison. C. To challenge a convention. D. To illustrate an assumption. 13. What does the word “pragmatic” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Complex. B. Precise. C. Advanced. D. Practical. 14. As for rewilding, which would the author agree with? A. The media play a major role in its progress. B. Objective reporting facilitates its promotion. C. Public concern about it shapes media coverage. D. Disagreement among journalists outweighs agreement. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Rewilding: One Step at a Time B. Rewilding: Back to the Unknown C. Rewilding: A Race against Limits D. Rewilding: The Recall of the Wild 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Cut your sugar, get some exercise, eat your vegetables, sleep well.

More than one million people across the UK are now affected by heart failure, a(n) ____21____ where the heart can’t make blood flow properly because of weak muscle function. One ____22____ is shortness of breath, but it is frequently ignored. As a result, 70% of people only have the condition ____23____ after they have been rushed to hospital. The new device, developed by a team at Imperial College London and the National Health Service, looks about the ____24____ of a playing card. Doctors put it on a patient’s chest and it records the electrical signals in the heart and listens to the sound of blood flowing through the organ. Then, this ____25____ is sent to an AI system. The system then ____26____ it against data from thousands of other people to see if there’s a problem, and the result is immediately sent to a smartphone. Scientists looked at what happened to patients whose doctors examined them with a(n) ____27____ stethoscope, and those whose doctors used the AI one. The study included more than 12,700 people at about 200 GP (全科医生) surgeries in north London over the course of a year. This study found that the AI stethoscope was able to detect ____28____ heart activity that a doctor might miss with a regular one. Patients ____29____ with the AI stethoscope were twice as likely to have their heart failure spotted. The device was also 3.5 times more likely to find atrial fibrillation, namely an irregular heartbeat. It was also better at ____30____ whether one or more of a patient’s heart valves, which are like doors to the different sections in the heart and control blood flow, were not working properly. There are some problems to be solved, though. The AI stethoscope often told patients that they could be ____31____ heart failure when they weren’t. The researchers said that the ____32____ should only be used when GPs suspected that their patient had heart problems, and not for routine checks on healthy people. “This is an elegant example of how the ____33____ stethoscope, invented more than 200 years ago, can be upgraded for the 21st century,” said Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, from the British Heart Foundation charity. “We need ____34____ like these, providing early detection of heart failure.” ____35____, she said, the condition can be quite advanced by the time the patient goes to hospital feeling unwell. 21.

The snow had been falling steadily outside the art room of my school, blanketing the playground in white. I’d stayed late to finish a drawing for her, determined to make it perfect. I’d worked for hours, carefully sketching every detail — the playful expression of our puppy Daisy, the delicate petals (花瓣) of Mom’s favorite flowers, and the happy, smiling faces of our family. But I was running out of time. I had to hurry to catch the last bus home. If I missed it, I would have to walk 40 minutes through the bitter cold and falling snow. However, just as I turned the corner, my foot slipped on the icy sidewalk. I fell hard, and my schoolbag flew open. Books and pens fell all over. To make matters worse, the drawing slipped out and landed in the slush (雪泥) near the roadside. I struggled to my feet and rushed to grab the drawing. But when I picked it up, my heart sank. The colors I’d carefully chosen had bled (渗开) into each other. I could hardly recognize the image anymore — our puppy Daisy, Mom’s favorite flowers, and our smiling faces — it was all ruined. I tried to dry the paper with my coat, but it only made things worse. The wet edges of the paper tore, and I could feel hot tears welling up in my eyes. In my distress (悲伤), I hadn’t noticed an old man a few feet away who witnessed it all. He was the street cleaner who worked this block every day, sweeping the sidewalk with his broom. I’d seen him many times before, always wearing his woolen hat, but we had never exchanged words. He was always quiet, just sweeping and smiling at passersby. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He walked over to me slowly and patted me on the shoulder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I got home with the new drawing in my hands. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 郑州外国语学校2025—2026学年高二下期期中考试试卷 英语 （120分钟 150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

You saved my life a decade ago by making a decision that only a mother as extraordinary as you could make. On 26 December 2014, both our lives changed forever. Karthick, your beloved son, was brought to Tirupur Government Hospital, near Coimbatore, in southern India, after a tragic road accident. He was later transferred to G. Kuppusamy Naidu Memorial (GKNM) Hospital. When the doctors declared him brain dead, you had to face the unthinkable, holding his hand, saying your silent goodbyes. In the depths of that unimaginable grief, Mom, you made a choice that speaks of boundless courage and selflessness. You not only gave me Karthick’s heart but also donated five other organs, giving the gift of life to six strangers. You made this difficult decision without ever questioning the race, religion, or nationality. Your decision was solely about saving lives. Today, as a father of two growing children, I can truly understand the magnitude of your sacrifice. I can only imagine the storm of emotions you must have battled. Did you question if it was the right decision? Did you fear it was too much to bear? And yet, in the darkest hour of your life, you chose life for others. You chose hope. I know Karthick must be so proud of you, as am I, Mom. I am alive today because of your strength. Tearing apart the political divide, I have longed to meet you, Mom. I have travelled to Chennai several times since receiving Karthick’s heart, always hoping to somehow find a way to Coimbatore. But my medical visa restricts me from travelling outside Chennai. You might be wondering why I don’t even call you? Names of donors and recipients are kept confidential, and I feel helpless. Allah tells us in The Qur’an, “Whoever saves a life, it is as if they saved all of humanity.” Mom, you embody it. I love you, Mom, forever and always. Yours always, Faisal 4. What can we learn about Karthick from the text? A. He donated all his organs to six strangers. B. He received treatment in GKNM Hospital. C. He died immediately in the road accident. D. He was a man of courage and selflessness. 5. Which of the following words can best describe the mother? A. Noble and open-minded. B. Friendly and hard-working. C. Loyal and strong-willed. D. Modest and warm-hearted. 6. Why did Faisal feel “helpless” in the letter? A. His poor health prevented his traveling. B. He lost touch with his mother in India. C. He was limited in his travel and contact. D. The government banned border crossing. 7. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this letter? A. To ask for medical assistance. B. To advocate for organ donation. C. To record his transplant experience. D. To express his sincere gratitude. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。巴基斯坦男子Faisal Abdullah Malik写信给一位印度母亲，感谢她十年前在痛失爱子Karthick后，毅然决定捐献儿子器官，使包括Faisal在内的六人重获新生。信中表达了Faisal对这位母亲无私大爱的深深感激，以及因签证限制无法亲自登门致谢的遗憾。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Karthick, your beloved son, was brought to Tirupur Government Hospital, near Coimbatore, in southern India, after a tragic road accident. He was later transferred to G. Kuppusamy Naidu Memorial (GKNM) Hospital.( Karthick，您心爱的儿子，在一场悲惨的交通事故后被送往了印度南部 Coimbatore附近蒂鲁普尔的政府医院。之后，他又被转至古·库普苏马·奈杜纪念医院（GKNM 医院）)”可知，Karthick在GKNM医院接受过治疗。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In the depths of that unimaginable grief, Mom, you made a choice that speaks of boundless courage and selflessness.(在那难以想象的悲痛深渊中，妈妈，您做出了一个彰显无限勇气与无私的选择)”及“You made this difficult decision without ever questioning the race, religion, or nationality.(您做出这一艰难决定时，从未质疑过受捐者的种族、宗教或国籍)”可推知，这位母亲既高尚又思想开明，跨越国界与宗教藩篱拯救生命。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But my medical visa restricts me from travelling outside Chennai. (但我的医疗签证限制了我，使我无法前往金奈以外的地方)”及“Names of donors and recipients are kept confidential, and I feel helpless.(捐献者与受捐者的姓名是保密的，这让我感到无助)”可知，Faisal的无助源于双重限制：旅行范围受限（签证限制）以及联系方式受限（信息保密）。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是开篇“You saved my life a decade ago by making a decision that only a mother as extraordinary as you could make.(十年前，是您做出了一个只有像您这样非凡的母亲才会做出的决定，从而救了我的命)”以及结尾“I love you, Mom, forever and always.(妈妈，我永远爱您)”可知，本文是一封饱含深情的感谢信，核心目的是向这位印度母亲表达真挚谢意。故选D。 C In Tell Me Where It Hurts, pain psychologist Rachel Zoffness achieves a rare breakthrough: revealing pain’s complexity and offering practical solutions. For decades, pain has been narrowly seen as a direct signal of physical damage. Zoffness challenges this, arguing pain is a “complex cocktail” of physical, emotional, psychological and social ingredients. She uses the “pain recipe” metaphor to make this accessible: just as ingredients combine to make brownie cakes, these elements create pain. Zoffness illustrates this with two nail stories. A construction worker stepped on a 7-inch nail, screaming in great pain, but the nail missed his foot — his pain was real without injury. On the contrary, a man had a 4-inch nail stuck in his face, yet felt little pain. These stories prove pain is not a reliable indicator of bodily harm, breaking the traditional link between damage and discomfort. Zoffness defines pain as a biopsychosocial phenomenon. The U.S. healthcare system focuses only on the biological aspect, missing two-thirds of the problem. She criticizes the system’s over-reliance on drugs and surgeries, noting that chronic (慢性的) pain affects millions, yet clinicians often lack training in holistic (整体的) care. Many pain sufferers feel unheard, as their non-physical struggles are ignored. But she offers hope: we can control some “pain ingredients”. Her book provides behavioral strategies-improving sleep, strengthening social ties, addressing injuries-for patients and providers. She stresses, “Never label pain as incurable.” Moreover, she highlights that holistic care requires a shift in mindset. Clinicians must listen to patients’ full experiences, not just physical symptoms. This shift can empower patients to take an active role in their recovery, turning them from passive recipients to active participants. She also calls for better education of medical professionals on the psychological aspects of pain. Still, Zoffness ends optimistically. Pain, as a “whole-person problem”, needs a “whole-person solution”. Holistic approaches unlock countless paths to relief, offering real hope to those trapped in chronic pain. This vision could reshape pain care for generations. 8. Why does Zoffness use the “pain recipe” metaphor? A. To simplify pain’s biological causes. B. To promote cooking-based pain relief. C. To compare pain to cooking processes. D. To help explain pain’s complex nature. 9. What do the two nail stories show? A. Severe injuries cause severe pain. B. Pain can exist without bodily harm. C. Pain always indicates physical damage. D. Different people react to pain differently. 10. What is Zoffness’s view on the U.S. healthcare system’s handling of chronic pain? A. It’s effective for focusing on biology. B. It’s advanced for offering behavioral treatment. C. It’s faulty for overlooking psychosocial elements. D. It’s successful for avoiding labeling pain as incurable. 11. What does the author imply about holistic approaches to pain? A. They may change how pain is treated. B. They ignore the biological basis of pain. C. They are too complex to carry out widely. D. They have replaced the traditional methods. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍书籍《Tell Me Where It Hurts》，作者打破疼痛仅源于身体损伤的传统认知，倡导兼顾身心的整体疗法，为慢性疼痛患者带来希望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Zoffness challenges this, arguing pain is a “complex cocktail” of physical, emotional, psychological and social ingredients. She uses the “pain recipe” metaphor to make this accessible: just as ingredients combine to make brownie cakes, these elements create pain.(佐夫内斯对此提出质疑，她认为疼痛是由身体、情绪、心理以及社会因素共同构成的复杂混合体。她用“疼痛配方”这一比喻来通俗易懂地解释该观点：就像各类原料混合制作出巧克力蛋糕一样，这些因素相互结合便产生了疼痛。)”可知，她使用该比喻是为了帮助阐释疼痛复杂的本质。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A construction worker stepped on a 7-inch nail, screaming in great pain, but the nail missed his foot — his pain was real without injury. On the contrary, a man had a 4-inch nail stuck in his face, yet felt little pain. These stories prove pain is not a reliable indicator of bodily harm, breaking the traditional link between damage and discomfort.(一名建筑工人踩到了一根 7 英寸长的钉子，剧痛难忍、失声尖叫，可钉子并未刺穿他的脚—— 他的疼痛是真实的，身体却并无损伤。相反，有一名男子脸上扎着一根 4 英寸的钉子，却几乎感受不到疼痛。这些事例证明，疼痛并不能可靠地反映身体损伤，打破了“身体受伤就会疼痛”的传统认知。)”可知，这两个事例证明身体没有受伤也会产生疼痛。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Zoffness defines pain as a biopsychosocial phenomenon. The U.S. healthcare system focuses only on the biological aspect, missing two-thirds of the problem. (佐夫内斯将疼痛定义为一种生物-心理-社会综合现象。美国的医疗体系只关注生理层面，忽略了该问题三分之二的成因。)”可知，佐夫内斯认为美国医疗体系存在缺陷，忽视了心理与社会相关影响因素。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, Zoffness ends optimistically. Pain, as a “whole-person problem”, needs a “whole-person solution”. Holistic approaches unlock countless paths to relief, offering real hope to those trapped in chronic pain. This vision could reshape pain care for generations.(尽管如此，佐夫内斯的结论依旧乐观。疼痛作为一种关乎整个人的问题，需要一套全方位的解决办法。整体疗法能开辟无数缓解疼痛的途径，为深陷慢性疼痛困扰的人们带来真正的希望。这一理念将会重塑未来几代人的疼痛诊疗方式。)”可知，作者暗示这种整体疗法有望改变疼痛治疗的现有模式。 D Rewilding is a simple concept: areas of wilderness are identified for restoration, native animals and plants are reintroduced, and natural processes take over. The term was coined in the 1990s. Much like nature, language undergoes continuous transformation. To some, rewilding now incorporates the idea of building “corridors” so that species can cross from one area of wilderness to another, as they would have done in pre-human times. To others, it is about letting “natural chaos” take over, meaning any human interference is prohibited. Why might the average person be drawn to the idea of rewilding? Many hold that nostalgia is behind it. The fact is that most of us can’t say, “Where did all those Red Admiral butterflies go, that were once so common in my back garden?” We cannot recall things that are beyond living memory, let alone a time when wild pigs and deer ran through forests. Indeed, we need not be remotely sentimental (多愁善感) to see why biodiversity is desirable. There are numerous benefits to rewilding, such as restoring natural biodiversity and improving the ecological resilience of damaged landscapes. Actually, at the most pragmatic level, without healthy ecosystems, our crops will fail and obviously we will not survive. A workable food chain must start with pollinators, such as bees and hoverflies. Intensive farming, however, has largely removed the wildflowers they feed on and turned much of our landscape into lifeless soil. Only by reintroducing missing insects, plants and animals can we reverse this trend. The idea of rewilding has certainly caught the public eye, and journalists have played their part in this. Some have warned about the potential terrible consequences. Others have showered praise on the plan of releasing beavers back into streams. Devoting attention to efforts like these is no bad thing, yet rewilding is something different altogether: an entire ecosystem becoming self-regulatory and self-sustaining. Furthermore, if the public are to be persuaded of the benefits of rewilding, they must be confident that journalists are providing the full picture. In Spain’s Guadarrama hills, for example, wolves’ return brings conservation joy but raises local concerns over lost sheep and cattle. Honest discussion about this kind of issue is required. Rewilding projects, it has to be said, do not always go as planned. The idea that we should allow nature to reclaim parts of our landscape is far more divisive than say, any proposal for reducing plastic waste or tackling the illegal wildlife trade. Few people would be blind to the advantages of limiting plastic consumption or argue against protecting elephants. Yet not so long ago, no-one gave a second thought to these things. It took the incredible efforts of a few passionate, principled individuals to educate the majority of us through long campaigning and evidence-based argument. Hopefully, fifty years from now, with ecosystems flourishing again, people will question why our generation ever saw rewilding as debated. 12. Why does the author mention Red Admiral butterflies? A. To contradict a claim. B. To justify a comparison. C. To challenge a convention. D. To illustrate an assumption. 13. What does the word “pragmatic” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Complex. B. Precise. C. Advanced. D. Practical. 14. As for rewilding, which would the author agree with? A. The media play a major role in its progress. B. Objective reporting facilitates its promotion. C. Public concern about it shapes media coverage. D. Disagreement among journalists outweighs agreement. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Rewilding: One Step at a Time B. Rewilding: Back to the Unknown C. Rewilding: A Race against Limits D. Rewilding: The Recall of the Wild 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“再野生化”这一概念，包括其定义、公众对其的看法、好处以及面临的挑战，同时强调了客观报道在推动“再野生化”进程中的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Why might the average person be drawn to the idea of rewilding? Many hold that nostalgia is behind it. The fact is that most of us can’t say, “Where did all those Red Admiral butterflies go, that were once so common in my back garden?” We cannot recall things that are beyond living memory, let alone a time when wild pigs and deer ran through forests. Indeed, we need not be remotely sentimental (多愁善感) to see why biodiversity is desirable.(为什么普通人会被“再野生化”的想法所吸引?许多人认为这背后是怀旧情绪。事实上，我们大多数人都说不出：“那些曾经在我家后院很常见的红蛱蝶都到哪里去了?”我们无法回忆起超出个人记忆范畴的事情，更不用说那些野猪和鹿在森林中穿梭的年代了。实际上，我们无需有丝毫的伤感情绪，就能明白为什么生物多样性是值得珍视的。)”可知，很多人认为普通人向往荒野重建，原因是怀旧。作者紧接着举例红蛱蝶：我们甚至都说不出曾经后院随处可见的这种蝴蝶去哪了，我们根本记不起活着的人记忆之外的物种，更别说远古的野兽。后半句转折说明我们根本不需要多愁善感、不需要怀旧，也能明白生物多样性的价值。因此推断作者提到红蛱蝶是为了说明作者举蝴蝶例子，不是证明怀旧论，而是反驳 “人们是出于怀旧才支持野化重建” 这个观点。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词前文“There are numerous benefits to rewilding, such as restoring natural biodiversity and improving the ecological resilience of damaged landscapes. (再野生化有很多好处，比如恢复自然生物多样性和改善受损景观的生态恢复能力。)”谈论的是再野生化对环境和生态的影响，是宏观方面的意义，而后文“without healthy ecosystems, our crops will fail and obviously we will not survive (没有健康的生态系统，我们的庄稼就会歉收，显然我们将无法生存)”强调了健康生态系统对我们生存的实际重要性，前后形成对比。由此可推知，“at the most pragmatic level”指的是“在最实际的层面上”，故划线词pragmatic意为“实际的”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Furthermore, if the public are to be persuaded of the benefits of rewilding, they must be confident that journalists are providing the full picture. (此外，如果要说服公众相信“再野生化”的好处，他们必须确信记者提供了全面的信息。)”可知，作者认为客观全面的报道有助于公众了解“再野生化”的好处，从而推动其推广。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后第一段“Rewilding projects, it has to be said, do not always go as planned. The idea that we should allow nature to reclaim parts of our landscape is far more divisive than say, any proposal for reducing plastic waste or tackling the illegal wildlife trade. Few people would be blind to the advantages of limiting plastic consumption or argue against protecting elephants. Yet not so long ago, no-one gave a second thought to these things. It took the incredible efforts of a few passionate, principled individuals to educate the majority of us through long campaigning and evidence-based argument. Hopefully, fifty years from now, with ecosystems flourishing again, people will question why our generation ever saw rewilding as debated. (必须承认，再野生化项目并非总能按预期进行。我们应当让大自然重新占据我们这片土地一部分的理念，比诸如减少塑料废弃物或打击非法野生动物交易之类的提议更具争议性。很少有人会无视限制塑料使用所带来的好处，也不会有人反对保护大象。然而，就在不久前，这些事情还从未引起过人们的关注。需要一些充满激情且坚守原则的个人付出巨大的努力，通过长期的宣传和基于证据的论证来让大多数人了解这些道理。希望五十年后，当生态系统再次繁荣起来时，人们会质疑我们这一代人为何会将退化自然视为一个有争议的话题。)”可知，文章主要讨论了野化重建的定义，大众对此的看法、误解，以及其生态价值、现实意义，最后作者强调了野化项目并非总能如愿，曾经的环保理念都经历漫长普及过程，野化重建同样需要时间、耐心、逐步发展，不能急于求成，过程充满争议，要循序渐进。因此推断A项“再野生化：一步一步来”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Cut your sugar, get some exercise, eat your vegetables, sleep well. Every day, we are surrounded by information about how to live longer, healthier, happier lives. ___16___ It is to engage in the arts. Over the past few decades, evidence has been increasing to suggest that being more creative works wonders for our health. ___17___ And the results are astonishing, from music in surgery reducing the amount of painkillers and anti-anxiety medicines needed, to dance programs helping people with Parkinson’s disease to walk. But the arts aren’t just there for us when we are sick. As a public health scientist. I spend my days looking at data from studies — massive datasets that contain thousands of individuals who have completed questionnaires, had nurse interviews, donated blood samples and undergone brain imaging every few years of their lives. ___18___Using complex statistical methods, we can look at the long-term relationship between everyday arts engagement and dozens of health outcomes. The results are remarkable. Children who engage more with the arts have a reduced risk of developing problems like depression later in life. Adults who participate more frequently in the arts and visit cultural venues are happier and feel more satisfied with their lives over the years and decades that follow ___19___ Kindergarteners who engage in music activities have increased prosocial skills as they head into primary school. Teenagers who are involved in bands, dance and editing school newspapers are less likely to get involved in antisocial behaviors or crime. I want to be clear: I am not suggesting the arts can solve all problems.___20___ But the evidence remains that engaging regularly in creative activities that you enjoy is an investment in your health that is worth making. A. The benefits aren’t just psychological either. B. Regular arts engagement goes beyond boosting physical health. C. But there is one piece of advice I bet you have never been given. D. Many of these studies contain buried questions on arts engagement. E. Arts can be inaccessible to people because of cost and other reasons. F. Crafts, singing, theatre and writing are good for us as part of our daily lives. G. Programs being developed around the world are starting to integrate the arts into healthcare. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了参与艺术活动对健康的益处，并通过科学研究数据支持了这一观点，说明将艺术融入日常生活是一种值得的健康投资。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Cut your sugar, get some exercise, eat your vegetables, sleep well. Every day, we are surrounded by information about how to live longer, healthier, happier lives. (少吃糖、多运动、吃蔬菜、睡好觉。每天，我们都被如何活得更长久、更健康、更幸福的信息所包围。)”可知，这是在列举常见的生活建议。再结合下文“It is to engage in the arts. (那就是参与艺术活动。)” 可知，下文“It”指代一种建议，因此空处应引出一种与众不同的建议，与上文的常见建议形成对比。C选项“But there is one piece of advice I bet you have never been given. (但我打赌有一条建议你从未得到过。)” 以“But”转折，引出下文不常见的建议“参与艺术活动”，其中“one piece of advice”与下文的“It”指代一致，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据下文“And the results are astonishing, from music in surgery reducing the amount of painkillers and anti-anxiety medicines needed, to dance programs helping people with Parkinson’s disease to walk.(结果令人惊讶，从手术中的音乐减少了所需的止痛药和抗焦虑药物的数量，到舞蹈项目帮助帕金森病患者行走。)”可知，此处提到了艺术在医疗方面的应用，G选项“Programs being developed around the world are starting to integrate the arts into healthcare.(世界各地正在开发的项目开始将艺术融入医疗保健。)”引出了下文的医疗应用实例“music in surgery”和“dance programs”，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据上文“As a public health scientist. I spend my days looking at data from studies — massive datasets that contain thousands of individuals who have completed questionnaires, had nurse interviews, donated blood samples and undergone brain imaging every few years of their lives. (作为一名公共卫生科学家，我每天研究来自大量研究的数据集，其中包含数千名个体，他们每隔几年完成问卷、接受护士访谈、捐献血液样本并进行脑成像。)” 可知，这些研究数据集内容广泛。再根据下文“Using complex statistical methods, we can look at the long-term relationship between everyday arts engagement and dozens of health outcomes.(使用复杂的统计方法，我们可以研究日常艺术参与与数十种健康结果之间的长期关系。)”可知， 此处开始讨论“arts engagement”与健康的关系，因此空处应能建立起“庞大研究数据”与“艺术参与”之间的联系。D选项“Many of these studies contain buried questions on arts engagement.( 其中许多研究都包含了关于艺术参与的隐含问题。)”完美地起到了这个桥梁作用，说明这些庞大的数据集中也包含了关于艺术参与的信息，从而使得下文研究两者的长期关系成为可能，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Kindergarteners who engage in music activities have increased prosocial skills as they head into primary school. Teenagers who are involved in bands, dance and editing school newspapers are less likely to get involved in antisocial behaviors or crime.(参与音乐活动的幼儿园儿童在进入小学时亲社会技能有所提高。参与乐队、舞蹈和编辑校报的青少年不太可能参与反社会行为或犯罪。)”可知，此处提到了艺术参与对儿童心理和行为方面的益处，A选项“The benefits aren’t just psychological either.(这些益处不仅仅是心理上的。)”中的“psychological”总结上文（抑郁、幸福感、生活满意度），并用“aren’t just”自然引出下文的社会行为益处（亲社会技能、减少反社会行为），起到了承上启下作用。 【20题详解】 根据上文“I want to be clear: I am not suggesting the arts can solve all problems. (我想澄清一点：我并不是说艺术能解决所有问题。)”可知，作者在客观地指出艺术的局限性。下文提到“But the evidence remains that engaging regularly in creative activities that you enjoy is an investment in your health that is worth making. (但证据仍然表明，定期参与你喜欢的创造性活动是对你健康的投资，是值得的。)”定期参加创造性活动有益处，这是一个转折，重申了艺术对健康的积极价值。因此，空处的内容应既能体现艺术的某种局限性（与上文“不能解决所有问题”呼应），又不能完全否定其价值，从而为下文的转折“But...”做铺垫。E选项“Arts can be inaccessible to people because of cost and other reasons. (艺术可能因为成本和其他原因而让一些人难以接触。) 指出了艺术的一个现实局限（可及性问题），这与“不能解决所有问题”的逻辑一致，同时为下文“但……值得投资”的转折提供了合理的过渡，符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A new artificial intelligence-powered stethoscope, a device that medical experts use to listen to sounds in the body such as a heartbeat, can detect three different heart conditions in 15 seconds. More than one million people across the UK are now affected by heart failure, a(n) ____21____ where the heart can’t make blood flow properly because of weak muscle function. One ____22____ is shortness of breath, but it is frequently ignored. As a result, 70% of people only have the condition ____23____ after they have been rushed to hospital. The new device, developed by a team at Imperial College London and the National Health Service, looks about the ____24____ of a playing card. Doctors put it on a patient’s chest and it records the electrical signals in the heart and listens to the sound of blood flowing through the organ. Then, this ____25____ is sent to an AI system. The system then ____26____ it against data from thousands of other people to see if there’s a problem, and the result is immediately sent to a smartphone. Scientists looked at what happened to patients whose doctors examined them with a(n) ____27____ stethoscope, and those whose doctors used the AI one. The study included more than 12,700 people at about 200 GP (全科医生) surgeries in north London over the course of a year. This study found that the AI stethoscope was able to detect ____28____ heart activity that a doctor might miss with a regular one. Patients ____29____ with the AI stethoscope were twice as likely to have their heart failure spotted. The device was also 3.5 times more likely to find atrial fibrillation, namely an irregular heartbeat. It was also better at ____30____ whether one or more of a patient’s heart valves, which are like doors to the different sections in the heart and control blood flow, were not working properly. There are some problems to be solved, though. The AI stethoscope often told patients that they could be ____31____ heart failure when they weren’t. The researchers said that the ____32____ should only be used when GPs suspected that their patient had heart problems, and not for routine checks on healthy people. “This is an elegant example of how the ____33____ stethoscope, invented more than 200 years ago, can be upgraded for the 21st century,” said Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, from the British Heart Foundation charity. “We need ____34____ like these, providing early detection of heart failure.” ____35____, she said, the condition can be quite advanced by the time the patient goes to hospital feeling unwell. 21.

The snow had been falling steadily outside the art room of my school, blanketing the playground in white. I’d stayed late to finish a drawing for her, determined to make it perfect. I’d worked for hours, carefully sketching every detail — the playful expression of our puppy Daisy, the delicate petals (花瓣) of Mom’s favorite flowers, and the happy, smiling faces of our family. But I was running out of time. I had to hurry to catch the last bus home. If I missed it, I would have to walk 40 minutes through the bitter cold and falling snow. However, just as I turned the corner, my foot slipped on the icy sidewalk. I fell hard, and my schoolbag flew open. Books and pens fell all over. To make matters worse, the drawing slipped out and landed in the slush (雪泥) near the roadside. I struggled to my feet and rushed to grab the drawing. But when I picked it up, my heart sank. The colors I’d carefully chosen had bled (渗开) into each other. I could hardly recognize the image anymore — our puppy Daisy, Mom’s favorite flowers, and our smiling faces — it was all ruined. I tried to dry the paper with my coat, but it only made things worse. The wet edges of the paper tore, and I could feel hot tears welling up in my eyes. In my distress (悲伤), I hadn’t noticed an old man a few feet away who witnessed it all. He was the street cleaner who worked this block every day, sweeping the sidewalk with his broom. I’d seen him many times before, always wearing his woolen hat, but we had never exchanged words. He was always quiet, just sweeping and smiling at passersby. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He walked over to me slowly and patted me on the shoulder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I got home with the new drawing in my hands. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： He walked over to me slowly and patted me on the shoulder. I wiped my tears and looked up, embarrassed. Smiling gently, he handed me a clean tissue and comforted me in a soft voice, “Don’t cry, kid. We can fix it.” He pointed to his small cleaning cart nearby, where there was a stack of blank paper. He took one out and gave it to me, along with a few colored pens he usually kept for notes. With his gentle encouragement, I wiped my tears and headed towards the bus stop bench, determined to redraw the picture quickly. He swept the snow around me with great care, guarding my work until I caught the last bus. Finally, I got home with the new drawing in my hands. Bursting through the front door, I found Mom in the kitchen. With a nervous heart, I handed her the simple sketch and recounted the afternoon’s misfortune and the street cleaner’s unexpected kindness. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears and pulled me into a tight embrace, stressing that the drawing was the most precious birthday gift she’d ever received — for it not only showed my love for her, but also that I’d learned to cherish the kindness of others. That cold afternoon taught me that a little kindness from a stranger can light up a dark day, a lesson I’ll never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者为妈妈准备生日礼物为线索展开，讲述了在一个寒冷下雪的下午，作者为给妈妈准备生日礼物而精心绘制了一幅画，却在匆忙赶路时不慎摔倒，画作被雪泥弄脏损坏。正当作者悲伤无助时，一位平日里沉默寡言的街道清洁工老人主动上前安慰，并提供了空白纸和彩笔，帮助作者重新绘制了画作。最终，作者带着新画作回家，妈妈被这份礼物和背后的故事深深感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他慢慢地走到我身边，拍了拍我的肩膀。”可知，第一段可描写老人安慰作者，并提供帮助让作者重新绘制画作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，我手里拿着新画回到了家。”可知，第二段可描写作者将新画作送给妈妈，并讲述事情经过，妈妈深受感动。 2.续写线索： 老人安慰作者——提供空白纸和彩笔——作者重新绘制画作——老人守护作者直到赶上公交车——作者带着新画作回家——将画作送给妈妈——讲述事情经过——妈妈深受感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①安慰：comfort/reassure ②拿出：take out/fetch out ③深深拥抱：pull...into a tight embrace/hug tightly 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②温柔的：gentle/tender 【点睛】【高分句型1】Smiling gently, he handed me a clean tissue and comforted me in a soft voice, “Don’t cry, kid.
