Bring your family along and introduce them to the spectacular night sky. Here are four places to experience a star-filled landscape. Sossusvlei, Namibia Stay at Little Kulala, an eco-friendly hotel in the desert. It uses solar power and is located in the large Kulala Wilderness Reserve. You can ride in a Land Rover to look for animals such as springbok, ostrich and oryx. You can also take a hot-air balloon to see the Namib Desert, which is the oldest desert in the world. After a day of exploring, relax in your small private pool. At night, you can even sleep on the rooftop and watch shooting stars and the Milky Way above you. Death Valley National Park, California Death Valley National Park covers 3.4 million acres. Its clean air and large open spaces make it a wonderful place to watch shooting stars, meteor showers, and many constellations. People in the area work hard to reduce light pollution so the night sky stays dark. In winter, park rangers offer programs that teach visitors about stars and space. Rome, Italy For a fun family activity, visit Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese for an evening picnic and stargazing. You can learn about constellations and planets that were named by ancient Roman astronomers. The hotel is in a former 19th-century palace and is close to famous cultural sites and parks in the city. Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah This park has some of the darkest skies in the United States. It was the first place to receive the International Dark Sky Park certification. Huge natural stone bridges create beautiful “windows” where you can look through to see the stars, just like the Pueblo people did 800 years ago. One of the most amazing views is the Milky Way rising above Owachomo Bridge. 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Sossusvlei, Namibia? A. It boasts the largest desert in the world. B. The hotel there offers bedrooms for stargazing. C. Tourists can catch sight of all kinds of wild animals there. D. Tourists have the chance to view the desert from various angles. 2. What can be inferred about Natural Bridges National Monument as a stargazing site? A. Educational programs about stars and space are available. B. The natural rock formations enhance the viewing experience. C. The locals have made huge efforts to preserve the dark nights. D. It is the only place to hold the International Dark Sky Park certification. 3. A family who wants both cultural sightseeing during the day and stargazing at night would most likely choose ________. A. Sossusvlei, Namibia B. Death Valley National Park, California C. Rome, Italy D. Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了四个适合家庭观星旅游的最佳目的地及其特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sossusvlei, Namibia标题下“You can ride in a Land Rover to look for animals such as springbok, ostrich and oryx. You can also take a hot-air balloon to see the Namib Desert, which is the oldest desert in the world.(你可以乘坐路虎寻找跳羚、鸵鸟和羚羊等动物。您还可以乘坐热气球游览纳米布沙漠，这是世界上最古老的沙漠)”可知，游客可以通过多种方式观赏沙漠，即从不同角度欣赏。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah标题下“Huge natural stone bridges create beautiful “windows” where you can look through to see the stars, just like the Pueblo people did 800 years ago.(巨大的天然石桥创造了美丽的“窗户”，你可以透过窗户看到星星，就像800年前的普韦布洛人一样)”可知，天然石桥形成了美丽的“窗户”供游客透过观赏星星，由此可推断天然岩石构造增强了观星体验。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rome, Italy标题下“The hotel is in a former 19th-century palace and is close to famous cultural sites and parks in the city.(酒店位于一座19世纪的宫殿中，靠近城市中著名的文化景点和公园)”以及“For a fun family activity, visit Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese for an evening picnic and stargazing.(作为一个有趣的家庭活动，可以去Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese野餐和观星)”可知，罗马既有著名文化景点供白天游览，又有晚间观星活动，最符合需求。 B Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shropshire, England. Darwin’s childhood passion was science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear; he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates. In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants, animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor. Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt. Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages. 4. What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species? A. Examining plants and animals collected. B. His desire for a voyage to different continents. C. Classifying samples in a journey to South America. D. His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University. 5. We can learn from paragraphs 1 to 3 that Darwin ________. A. used natural selection to develop new species B. enjoyed being called nicknames related to science C. learned some knowledge about plants when studying medicine D. argued with others over the diversity of life forms for a long period 6. Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species? A. That he had ten children in all. B. His youngest son’s being disabled. C. That he lost his eldest daughter. D. His marriage with Emma Wedgwood. 7. This passage is mainly about ________. A. Darwin’s passion for medical science B. Darwin’s theory and experiments C. Charles Darwin’s changing interest D. Charles Darwin’s life and work 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇人物传记，讲述了查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文的生平、科学兴趣、重要理论以及他的个人生活。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句“Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. ”（达尔文对所收集的植物和动物的分析使他开始质疑过去关于物种如何形成和随时间演化的解释。）可知，达尔文对所收集的植物和动物的分析使他对物种的起源和发展产生质疑和重新审议。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句“In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. ”（1825年，他的父亲送他去爱丁堡大学学医，在那里他学会了如何对植物进行分类。）可推断，达尔文在学医时候了解到了关于植物的知识。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段第二句和三句“His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. ”（他的第十个也是最后一个孩子查尔斯·沃林·达尔文于1856年出生。对达尔文来说，这个婴儿是残疾的，这改变了达尔文对人类物种的看法。）可知，达尔文最小的孩子的先天残疾使达尔文改变了人类物种的看法。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章前三段主要讲述了查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文的生平、学业经历、科学兴趣对其理论形成和发展的影响。第四段讲述了他的家庭和个人生活、最后一段讲述了达尔文理论的地位和影响。因此，文章主要讲述了达尔文的生活和工作。故选D项。 C Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence. It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head. The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work––these people are the very soul of capitalism. Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity. The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be “different” and not knowing how to go about it. The student who earns straight A’s on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him. Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes. 8. The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to _________. A. show what a talented musician should look like B. introduce an important figure in the musical world C. contrast with his talent in music performance D. indicate that he can’t stand out from the flock 9. The author would most probably agree that _________. A. an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance B. the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full C. being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual D. those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists 10. According to the passage, which individual’s actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism? A. A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition. B. A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following. C. An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others. D. An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices. 11. For the main thread, the article is organized by way of __________. A. specific to general B. cause and effect C. examples and conclusion D. comparison and contrast 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是个人主义，个人主义有什么特点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. (那些有幸观看本尼·古德曼工作的人看到的是一个相当普通的人，戴着无框眼镜，穿着保守的西装;但他们也看到了一个能演奏单簧管的人，在这之前和之后都没有人能做到。这使本尼·古德曼成为一个独特的个体。)”可知，作者提到本尼·古德曼的外表与他在音乐表演方面的天赋形成对比。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work—these people are the very soul of capitalism. (个性的全部目的就是追求卓越。那些发明创造，即兴发挥，比别人更了解一个主题，并采取无效的东西，并使其发挥作用的人-这些人是资本主义的灵魂。)”可知，作者可能同意个人主义的本质在于追求卓越。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity. (查尔斯·凯特林不喜欢用曲棍发动汽车，所以他发明了电动启动器。亨利·福特发明了装配线技术，使大规模生产汽车成为可能，而电梯的发明者伊莱沙·奥蒂斯间接地创造了城市的天际线。这些人明白，个人主义意味着尽自己最大的努力工作。)”可知，一个符合大众观点保持大量追随者的社交媒体影响者不能真正体现个人主义的本质。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. (那些有幸观看本尼·古德曼工作的人看到的是一个相当普通的人，戴着无框眼镜，穿着保守的西装;但他们也看到了一个能演奏单簧管的人，在这之前和之后都没有人能做到。这使本尼·古德曼成为一个独特的个体。)”和第三段“It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head. (比别人做得更好让我们与众不同。然而，令人惊讶的是，仍有相当多的人认为个性只是表面现象。他们穿着花哨的衣服，把头发染成奇怪的颜色，用纹身装饰自己的皮肤，以表达某种社会声明。但是一个把头发染成紫色或橙色的普通人只不过是一个长着滑稽脑袋的人。)”可知，本文主要采用比较和对比的方式进行组织。故选D。 D Archaeologists working in Egypt’s Nile Delta may have discovered a structure dating back around 2,600 years while testing a new technology designed to locate structures buried deep beneath the surface. The team was studying the Buto site, the ruins of an ancient city that was occupied from the Predynastic period to the Early Islamic era. During its long history, Buto was built, destroyed, and rebuilt, and consequently has several layers, each potentially a rich source of archaeological remains. However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels. The researchers were trialing an integrated approach that uses satellite radar and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The team started with Sentinel-1 radar satellites to identify large-scale anomalies (异常事物) from space. When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity. This technique has been likened to an underground ”CT scan". The scans showed that while the upper layers contained remains from later historical periods, a large, well-defined structure lay at a depth of between three and six meters, dating back about 2,600 years. At this stage, the researchers thought it could be a large tomb or temple. Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation (挖掘), which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted. The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel. 12. What is the primary purpose of the technology used in the study? A. To uncover ancient artifacts without disturbing the site. B. To assist archaeologists in identifying where to excavate. C. To examine the historical layers of the Buto site in detail. D. To replace traditional excavation with advanced imaging tools. 13. Why is traditional excavation at Buto considered challenging? A. The site contains remains from multiple historical periods. B. The mudbrick structures are too fragile to survive excavation. C. The equipment required is not available for large-scale digging. D. The deeper layers are hidden beneath later deposits and groundwater. 14. What is the role of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in the research? A. It generates a 3D image of underground structures. B. It detects large-scale anomalies from satellite images. C. It removes obstacles that block access to deeper layers. D. It determines whether a site contains valuable artifacts. 15. What can be inferred about the integrated approach used by the researchers? A. It will completely replace traditional excavation. B. It enables more efficient archaeological exploration. C. It is mainly useful for studying surface-level remains. D. It combines satellite radar with ground-based methods. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍考古学家在埃及尼罗三角洲运用新型探测技术，发现一处两千六百年前古建筑，并说明该技术优势与应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Archaeologists working in Egypt’s Nile Delta may have discovered a structure dating back around 2,600 years while testing a new technology designed to locate structures buried deep beneath the surface.(在埃及尼罗河三角洲工作的考古学家，在测试一项旨在定位深埋地下建筑的新技术时，发现了一座约2600年前的建筑)”以及第四段“Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation, which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted.(在这些结果的指导下，他们进行了小规模挖掘，在设备预测的位置挖出了泥砖墙和宗教文物)”可知，这项新技术主要用来帮助考古学家确定挖掘位置。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels.(然而，这座城市最古老的部分如今被后期遗迹和厚厚的淤泥沉积物掩埋。这使得传统挖掘难度大、耗时长、成本高，考古人员需要搬运大量渣土，还要应对地下水才能挖到深层区域)”可知，传统挖掘难度大是因为深层遗迹被后期沉积物覆盖，还存在地下水阻碍。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity.(当卫星发现可疑点位后，研究人员启用ERT技术，在地面布设电极输送电流，依据不同材料的导电、阻电特性，生成地下建筑的三维模型)”可知，ERT技术的核心作用是生成地下结构的三维影像。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel.(研究结果证明，结合地球物理探测与遥感数据的方式十分高效，能精准定位复杂区域的地下遗址。研究人员计划升级设备探测更深层古迹，还表示这套综合方法可在实地挖掘前完成多处考古遗址勘测)”可知，这套综合探测技术无需大规模人工开挖，精准高效，能提升考古勘探整体效率。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Each night, as the world quiets, the body slips into sleep. ____16____.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了马卡族与鲸鱼的悠久关系、保护与复兴捕鲸传统的历程。 【21题详解】 考查动词。 句意：他们自称Kwi-dich-cha-at，意思是“靠岩石和海鸥生活的人”。A. guides引导；B. boasts夸耀；C. means意思是；D. indicates表明。根据前文“They call themselves Kwi-dich-cha-at”可知，此处解释该名称的含义，表示Kwi-dich-cha-at的意思是什么。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：鲸鱼为他们提供肉、鲸脂和骨头，用作食物、油和器具。A. provided提供；B. produced生产；C. confused使困惑；D. wasted浪费。根据后文“meat, blubber, and bone for food, oil, and utensils”可知，鲸鱼提供了这些材料。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：马卡族人在鲸鱼产品方面进行了活跃的贸易，后来这种贸易的强度和效率迅速降低了这些生物的数量。A. decreased减少；B. increased增加；C. limited限制；D. divided划分。根据后文“whales on the brink of extinction”可知，过度捕猎导致数量下降，所以此处指捕鲸使鲸鱼数量急剧减少。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：另一方面，马卡族人与鲸鱼的关系既是物质的，也是精神的。A. artificial人工的；B. theoretical理论的；C. spiritual精神的；D. physical身体的。根据后文“Whales and whaling were ______ in their songs and dances.”可知，鲸鱼在他们的歌舞中出现，说明关系不仅是物质层面的，还有精神层面。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：鲸鱼和捕鲸是他们歌曲和舞蹈中的主题。A. rhythm节奏；B. subjects主题；C. influence影响；D. targets目标。根据后文“in their songs and dances”可知，鲸鱼出现在歌舞中，是歌舞的主题。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：鲸鱼的形象被编织进毯子和篮子中，并雕刻在石头和木头上。A. put放；B. transferred转移；C. printed印刷；D. woven编织。根据后文“into blankets and baskets”可知，毯子和篮子是编织工艺，所以形象被编织进毯子和篮子。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：到20世纪20年代，随着当地鲸鱼濒临灭绝，马卡族人完全停止了捕猎。A. extinction灭绝；B. collapse崩溃；C. destruction破坏；D. disaster灾难。根据后文“the Makah stopped hunting them altogether”可知，人们停止捕猎，说明鲸鱼濒临灭绝。on the brink of extinction为固定搭配，意为“濒临灭绝”。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：通过积极的保护措施，鲸鱼很快回到了奥林匹克半岛附近的水域。A. simple简单的；B. moderate适度的；C. aggressive积极的；D. contemporary当代的。根据后文“whales returned to the waters”可知，鲸鱼回归，说明保护措施是积极的。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：这种意识促成了一场文化复兴，包括关注传统食物以及一些人将其与马卡族饮食变化联系起来的健康问题，尤其是海洋哺乳动物肉从饮食中的消失。A. contributed to促成；B. added to增加；C. referred to涉及；D. responded to回应。根据后文“a cultural resurgence”可知，这种意识促成了文化复兴。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。A. abundance丰富；B. disappearance消失；C. diversity多样性；D. familiarity熟悉。根据前文“the Makah stopped hunting them altogether”以及“health problems linked to changes in the Makah diet”可知，停止捕鲸导致该类肉食消失，促使马卡族饮食发生变化。 【31题详解】 考查连词。句意：尽管他们的计划遭到了不同群体的强烈反对，他们引用了1885年与美国政府签署的一项条约，该条约保障了继续这一做法的权利。A. Unless除非；B. Before在……之前；C. If如果；D. Although尽管。根据后文“their plans faced strong opposition from different groups, they cited an 1885 treaty”可知，前文提到人们反对捕鲸，后文提到和政府签署了保护捕鲸权利的条款，所以前后为让步关系。 【32题详解】 考查动词。 句意：同上。A. demanded要求；B. had有；C. contained包含；D. guaranteed保障。根据前文“Eventually, the Makah decided to resume hunting whales.”可知，马卡族人和政府签订条约保障了捕鲸权利。 【33题详解】 考查形容词。句意：如今马卡族人以传统方式捕猎鲸鱼。A. convenient方便的；B. traditional传统的；C. practical实用的；D. proper合适的。根据后文“Divers enter the water and tie the killed whale’s jaws shut to prevent the animal from sinking. The whales are finally towed to shore and cut into pieces ______ traditional rituals (仪式).”可知，此处描述的传统捕鲸流程，说明他们以传统方式进行捕鲸活动。 【34题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：鲸鱼最终被拖上岸，按照传统仪式被切成块。A. with regard to关于；B. in accordance with按照；C. in place of代替；D. at the cost of以……为代价。根据后文“traditional rituals”可知，此处按照传统仪式对鲸鱼进行切割。 【35题详解】 考查副词。句意：鲸鱼的任何部分都不能商业出售，尽管马卡族雕刻师用骨头制作的工艺品通常可以购买。A. globally全球地；B. secretly秘密地；C. commercially商业地；D. cheaply便宜地。根据后文“although artifacts that Makah carvers make from bones are often available for purchase”可知，鲸鱼本身不能商业出售，但工艺品可以。 第二节（共10小题，每题1.5分，共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。 Yiwu: The world’s Supermarket Known locally as the city that never sleeps in business, Yiwu has transformed from a poverty-stricken ____36____ (agriculture) county into a global trading hub in just four decades.

In my view, disqualifying the AI-generated photo is both reasonable and necessary. Photography, as an art form, embodies the photographer’s painstaking efforts in composition, lighting adjustment, and on-site shooting, capturing the essence of a real-world moment. AI-generated images, despite their visual appeal, lack the human touch, the emotional resonance, and the genuine creative process that traditional photography offers. Allowing such works in a competition would undermine the hard work of sincere participants and distort the very nature of the contest. Thus, this decision upholds the fairness and integrity of the photography competition.

A strange, calm voice on the other end of the line said, “Hi. You don’t know me, but I have your brother.” It was Aughtry, a woman who would soon become the lifeline for Yvonne’s brother, Joey — a gentle, mentally disabled man with a deep love for baseball and a lifelong routine as a cinema caretaker. Days earlier, as the worst winter storm in decades bore down, Yvonne had repeatedly warned Joey not to leave his group home. He’d promised to stay put, but the familiar pull of his routine proved too strong. He wandered out into the rapidly worsening white-out, heading toward the cinema where he’d worked for over twenty years, only to get lost within blocks. Hours later, he collapsed exhausted in a snowbank, his cries of pain cutting through the howling wind. Aughtry, a mother of three, heard his screams from inside her home. Without hesitation, she and her son braved the blinding storm, following the sound until they found Joey, half-frozen and barely conscious, his hands already swollen with severe frostbite. They carried him inside, carefully peeled off his ice-caked clothes, and spent hours warming him with a hair dryer and blankets, his body still trembling violently. Joey, in his delirium (精神错乱), was surprisingly able to recite Yvonne’s phone number from memory. When Aughtry finally reached her, Yvonne could only listen in terror, trapped indoors by the impassable snow and ice outside. For the following two days, Aughtry and her family provided continuous care for Joey, but it was just getting worse and worse. They made several urgent calls to emergency services, describing the severity of his condition. Each time, they were told that all major roads were blocked, covered by a thick layer of ice, making it impossible for emergency vehicles to navigate the area. Assistance was nowhere to be found. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help. She posted a live video online, detailing Joey’s dangerous condition and her exact address, adding that she had exhausted all options for getting medical help. “I’m asking for help from whoever,” she continued, “This man needs serious help.” Before long, the message spread rapidly among nearby neighbors, who were deeply concerned and rushed to help without hesitation. Some showed up to plow around Aughtry’s home. Others with private vehicles volunteered to brave the fierce snowstorm. With great care and patience, the warm-hearted neighbors gently lifted him into the car and headed slowly but steadily toward the nearest hospital, fighting against the strong wind and heavy snow. When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry. Yvonne was overwhelmed with relief and appreciation that her big brother was safe and sound. Without a word, she embraced Aughtry tightly. The woman returned the hug firmly, her hands gentle but steady. Yvonne’s voice was thick with emotion as she repeated her thanks. Aughtry smiled softly, saying it was the joint effort of the whole neighborhood. It was far from the holiday she had hoped for, but amid the suffering and misfortune, Yvonne found a silver lining. On that freezing Christmas Eve, the stranger opened up her home and her heart, creating the warmest miracle with a collective effort. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了在大雪纷飞的平安夜，Yvonne接到陌生女子Aughtry的电话，得知患有智力障碍的弟弟Joey因执意前往工作多年的电影院而在暴雪中迷路遇险。Aughtry一家发现并救助了Joey，却因暴雪封路急救车辆无法赶来。随后Aughtry通过社交媒体求助，邻里合力将Joey送往医院，最终Yvonne赶到医院，对伸出援手的陌生人满怀感激的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“绝望之下，奥特里求助于社交媒体。”可知，第一段可描写奥特里发布求助信息，附近邻居看到后纷纷伸出援手，合力将乔伊送往医院的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当伊冯娜终于赶到医院时，她发现乔伊正在和奥特里聊天。”可知，第二段可描写伊冯娜的感激之情，以及这次经历让她在寒冬中感受到温暖与善意。 2.续写线索：社交媒体求助——信息传播——邻居相助——送医——抵达医院——感激——感悟善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①求助：ask for help/seek help/appeal for assistance ②前往：head toward/make one’s way to/go to ③拥抱：embrace/hug/hold in one’s arms 情绪类 ①担忧：concerned/worried ②感激：appreciation/gratitude/be thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She posted a live video online, detailing Joey’s dangerous condition and her exact address, adding that she had exhausted all options for getting medical help.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Before long, the message spread rapidly among nearby neighbors, who were deeply concerned and rushed to help without hesitation.（运用了关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] It was far from the holiday she had hoped for, but amid the suffering and misfortune, Yvonne found a silver lining.（运用了省略关系代词that或者which的定语从句） 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学年高一下期期中试卷 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.

Bring your family along and introduce them to the spectacular night sky. Here are four places to experience a star-filled landscape. Sossusvlei, Namibia Stay at Little Kulala, an eco-friendly hotel in the desert. It uses solar power and is located in the large Kulala Wilderness Reserve. You can ride in a Land Rover to look for animals such as springbok, ostrich and oryx. You can also take a hot-air balloon to see the Namib Desert, which is the oldest desert in the world. After a day of exploring, relax in your small private pool. At night, you can even sleep on the rooftop and watch shooting stars and the Milky Way above you. Death Valley National Park, California Death Valley National Park covers 3.4 million acres. Its clean air and large open spaces make it a wonderful place to watch shooting stars, meteor showers, and many constellations. People in the area work hard to reduce light pollution so the night sky stays dark. In winter, park rangers offer programs that teach visitors about stars and space. Rome, Italy For a fun family activity, visit Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese for an evening picnic and stargazing. You can learn about constellations and planets that were named by ancient Roman astronomers. The hotel is in a former 19th-century palace and is close to famous cultural sites and parks in the city. Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah This park has some of the darkest skies in the United States. It was the first place to receive the International Dark Sky Park certification. Huge natural stone bridges create beautiful “windows” where you can look through to see the stars, just like the Pueblo people did 800 years ago. One of the most amazing views is the Milky Way rising above Owachomo Bridge. 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Sossusvlei, Namibia? A. It boasts the largest desert in the world. B. The hotel there offers bedrooms for stargazing. C. Tourists can catch sight of all kinds of wild animals there. D. Tourists have the chance to view the desert from various angles. 2. What can be inferred about Natural Bridges National Monument as a stargazing site? A. Educational programs about stars and space are available. B. The natural rock formations enhance the viewing experience. C. The locals have made huge efforts to preserve the dark nights. D. It is the only place to hold the International Dark Sky Park certification. 3. A family who wants both cultural sightseeing during the day and stargazing at night would most likely choose ________. A. Sossusvlei, Namibia B. Death Valley National Park, California C. Rome, Italy D. Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah B Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shropshire, England. Darwin’s childhood passion was science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear; he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates. In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants, animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor. Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt. Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages. 4. What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species? A. Examining plants and animals collected. B. His desire for a voyage to different continents. C. Classifying samples in a journey to South America. D. His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University. 5. We can learn from paragraphs 1 to 3 that Darwin ________. A. used natural selection to develop new species B. enjoyed being called nicknames related to science C. learned some knowledge about plants when studying medicine D. argued with others over the diversity of life forms for a long period 6. Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species? A. That he had ten children in all. B. His youngest son’s being disabled. C. That he lost his eldest daughter. D. His marriage with Emma Wedgwood. 7. This passage is mainly about ________. A. Darwin’s passion for medical science B. Darwin’s theory and experiments C. Charles Darwin’s changing interest D. Charles Darwin’s life and work C Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence. It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head. The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work––these people are the very soul of capitalism. Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity. The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be “different” and not knowing how to go about it. The student who earns straight A’s on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him. Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes. 8. The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to _________. A. show what a talented musician should look like B. introduce an important figure in the musical world C. contrast with his talent in music performance D. indicate that he can’t stand out from the flock 9. The author would most probably agree that _________. A. an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance B. the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full C. being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual D. those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists 10. According to the passage, which individual’s actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism? A. A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition. B.

The team was studying the Buto site, the ruins of an ancient city that was occupied from the Predynastic period to the Early Islamic era. During its long history, Buto was built, destroyed, and rebuilt, and consequently has several layers, each potentially a rich source of archaeological remains. However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels. The researchers were trialing an integrated approach that uses satellite radar and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The team started with Sentinel-1 radar satellites to identify large-scale anomalies (异常事物) from space. When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity. This technique has been likened to an underground ”CT scan". The scans showed that while the upper layers contained remains from later historical periods, a large, well-defined structure lay at a depth of between three and six meters, dating back about 2,600 years. At this stage, the researchers thought it could be a large tomb or temple. Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation (挖掘), which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted. The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel. 12. What is the primary purpose of the technology used in the study? A. To uncover ancient artifacts without disturbing the site. B. To assist archaeologists in identifying where to excavate. C. To examine the historical layers of the Buto site in detail. D. To replace traditional excavation with advanced imaging tools. 13. Why is traditional excavation at Buto considered challenging? A. The site contains remains from multiple historical periods. B. The mudbrick structures are too fragile to survive excavation. C. The equipment required is not available for large-scale digging. D. The deeper layers are hidden beneath later deposits and groundwater. 14. What is the role of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in the research? A. It generates a 3D image of underground structures. B. It detects large-scale anomalies from satellite images. C. It removes obstacles that block access to deeper layers. D. It determines whether a site contains valuable artifacts. 15. What can be inferred about the integrated approach used by the researchers? A. It will completely replace traditional excavation. B. It enables more efficient archaeological exploration. C. It is mainly useful for studying surface-level remains. D. It combines satellite radar with ground-based methods. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Each night, as the world quiets, the body slips into sleep. ____16____.

A strange, calm voice on the other end of the line said, “Hi. You don’t know me, but I have your brother.” It was Aughtry, a woman who would soon become the lifeline for Yvonne’s brother, Joey — a gentle, mentally disabled man with a deep love for baseball and a lifelong routine as a cinema caretaker. Days earlier, as the worst winter storm in decades bore down, Yvonne had repeatedly warned Joey not to leave his group home. He’d promised to stay put, but the familiar pull of his routine proved too strong. He wandered out into the rapidly worsening white-out, heading toward the cinema where he’d worked for over twenty years, only to get lost within blocks. Hours later, he collapsed exhausted in a snowbank, his cries of pain cutting through the howling wind. Aughtry, a mother of three, heard his screams from inside her home. Without hesitation, she and her son braved the blinding storm, following the sound until they found Joey, half-frozen and barely conscious, his hands already swollen with severe frostbite. They carried him inside, carefully peeled off his ice-caked clothes, and spent hours warming him with a hair dryer and blankets, his body still trembling violently. Joey, in his delirium (精神错乱), was surprisingly able to recite Yvonne’s phone number from memory. When Aughtry finally reached her, Yvonne could only listen in terror, trapped indoors by the impassable snow and ice outside. For the following two days, Aughtry and her family provided continuous care for Joey, but it was just getting worse and worse. They made several urgent calls to emergency services, describing the severity of his condition. Each time, they were told that all major roads were blocked, covered by a thick layer of ice, making it impossible for emergency vehicles to navigate the area. Assistance was nowhere to be found. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
