He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut (小屋) in Uganda, East Africa. Pedley admitted that he had not always led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I had always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting,” says Pedley. But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said. Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car—and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organisation that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too. Pedley’s organisation will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path. 4. Which of the following best describes Pedley in the past? A. Optimistic. B. Selfless. C. Unsympathetic. D. Independent. 5. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village? A. Help build community facilities. B. Do business with the local people. C. Help farmers increase potato output. D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching. 6. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble? A. To inspire them to live a more positive life. B. To encourage them to make friends with locals. C. To make them learn about different cultures. D. To train them to become doctors in the future. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Jon Pedley sold his farmhouse and car to start a business in Uganda. B. The people in Kigazi live a poor life and need clean water and hospitals. C. Nowadays English teenagers are sent abroad in order to change their lives. D. A former businessman gave up his comfortable life to help others in Africa. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了英国商人Pedley放弃优渥生活赴乌干达住泥屋助村民建校医所并帮问题青少年重归正途。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I had always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting(我一直把追求金钱置于一切事务之前。只要自己过得好，我并不在意伤害了谁)”可知，他过去只在乎自己和金钱，不在乎伤害别人，是不同情他人、自私的。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段末“He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.(他会帮助为孩子们建造教室，并为村民建造储存清洁水的水箱。如今，基加西的居民必须步行两英里才能到达医院，所以佩德利还将协助建造医生办公室)”及第四段“Pedley’s organisation will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a ‘camp’ in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities (佩德利的组织还将与陷入困境的英国青少年合作。这些青少年将被送往乌干达的一个‘营地’，由佩德利负责管理。这些青少年将住在用泥土搭建的棚屋里，并帮助为基加西的孩子们建造供水、医疗和教育设施)”可知，他会帮助建教室、储水罐、诊所，还有当地用水、医疗、教育等设施，这些都属于社区公共设施。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段末“Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.(佩德利希望这些青少年能接触到生活中的一些方面，从而帮助他们改变自己的生活，走上一条更加积极的新道路)”可知，他的目的是激励这些问题青少年走上更积极的生活道路。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut (小屋) in Uganda, East Africa.(乔恩·佩德利正在经历一场重大的转变。他放弃了作为商人的生活，转而投身于帮助他人的事业。他将自己在英格兰的漂亮农舍让给了他人，而选择在东非乌干达的一间泥屋中生活)”并纵观全文可知，文章开篇就点明：商人Jon Pedley放弃英国原本富裕舒适的生活，搬到非洲乌干达帮助当地人，全文围绕这件事展开。 C In a dark house in Austin, Texas, a team of robots and scientists is raising millions of crickets (蟋蟀) every month. Once fully grown, these insects are roasted and seasoned, or ground (磨碎) into flour. This cricket farm is the innovation of Gabe Mott, Shobhita Soor and Mohammed Ashour, founders of Aspire Food Group. To launch the farm, they had to think big about crickets. No one had raised them for human consumption on this scale before. “We had to walk away from everything in the scientific literature,” Mott says. The group now runs constant tests on every box of food that’s produced — and about a million crickets are raised each day. Drops of water, hours of light, bits of feed, changes in temperature — all are valuable data points that help boost the cricket life cycle from birth to cricket flour. Pound for pound, crickets and other eatable insects provide a lot for the planet’s resources. Crickets contain more protein than beef, more calcium (钙) than milk, and more iron than cabbage. Crickets need just 2 pounds of food for every eatable pound they become. However, cows require 25 pounds of food for per pound of beef. Because it demands so many resources, the beef industry is a significant greenhouse gas contributor and driver of deforestation. As the Earth’s population increases by billions in the coming decades, food production must double to feed everyone. That has businessmen betting big that eating insects will be an important part of the world hunger solution. Among the companies doing the business are Aspire, Tiny Farms and Bitty Foods. But these companies must do their best to meet demand. Aspire’s main concerns are scale and efficiency, so they’re using data to maximize production. And crickets are perfect data generators. Their life lasts just months, providing a great opportunity to analyse every moment to perfect production. The company’s engineers designed feeder robots that look after the crickets, adding just the right amount of food and water they need. Over the next year or so, Ashour expects 70 to 80 percent of the cricket-raising process will be automated with highly skilled workers doing the rest. 8. How do the three founders run the cricket farm? A. They feed crickets healthy food. B. They learn a lot from the beef industry. C. They try to improve the cricket life cycle. D. They keep an eye on crickets’ movements. 9. What can we learn about crickets according to Paragraph 4? A. Their research value. B. Their advantages as food. C. Their diet and living habits. D. Their widespread popularity. 10. What will Aspire need first according to Ashour? A. More research on cricket marketing. B. Highly skilled workers to do constant tests. C. A larger number of crickets to be raised daily. D. Automated systems to handle most of the work. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. How to Raise Crickets for Food in Your Home B. Insect Farming: An attempt to Feed the World C. Beef Industry: A Major Cause of Global Warming D. Crickets: A Perfect Data Generator for Scientists 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一家利用机器人和数据技术大规模养殖蟋蟀作为食物以应对世界粮食危机的创新公司。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Drops of water, hours of light, bits of feed, changes in temperature—all are valuable data points that help boost the cricket life cycle from birth to cricket flour.(水滴、数小时的光照、少量饲料、温度变化——所有这些都是有价值的数据点，有助于促进蟋蟀从出生到被磨成蟋蟀粉的生命周期)”可知，三位创始人通过收集数据来改善蟋蟀的生命周期，从而提高产量。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段中“Crickets contain more protein than beef, more calcium than milk, and more iron than cabbage. Crickets need just 2 pounds of food for every eatable pound they become.(蟋蟀含有比牛肉更多的蛋白质，比牛奶更多的钙，比卷心菜更多的铁。蟋蟀每长出一磅可食用部分只需要两磅食物)”可知，从第四段可以了解到蟋蟀作为食物的营养优势和资源消耗少的优点。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“Over the next year or so, Ashour expects 70 to 80 percent of the cricket-raising process will be automated with highly skilled workers doing the rest.(在接下来的一年左右，Ashour预计70%到80%的蟋蟀养殖过程将实现自动化，由高技能工人完成其余工作)”可知，Ashour认为Aspire首先需要的是自动化系统来处理大部分工作。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据全文内容，尤其是第五段中“That has businessmen betting big that eating insects will be an important part of the world hunger solution.(这使得商人们大力押注，认为食用昆虫将成为解决世界饥饿问题的重要组成部分)”可知，文章主要讲述了昆虫养殖作为解决世界粮食问题的一种尝试。因此最佳标题为B项“Insect Farming: An attempt to Feed the World(昆虫养殖：养活世界的尝试)”。 D Recent research suggests that actors may be able to hide their everyday self when they take on a new character. Researchers worked with Flute Theatre, which creates and provides interactive productions of Shakespeare for autistic (患自闭症的) individuals and their families. The team used wearable brain imaging technologies, alongside measurement devices, to evaluate the brain activity of actors as they played scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Lead author Dwaynica Greaves said, “The shout of a person’s own name is a powerful sound that normally makes the person turn his or her head. However, our findings suggest that actors may learn to suppress their sense of self as they train in the theatre and take on a different character.” The findings showed that when the actors heard their own names during the performance, their response was prevented in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is usually associated with self-awareness. The researchers also found that during the play, there were similar activity patterns in the brains of paired actors who were working together. These areas are associated with social interaction. The effects were specific to the brain data and were not seen in the heartbeat or breathing data, showing that there are specific brain systems functioning together effectively during complex social interactions. Greaves said, “Our findings indicate that working together with the theatre industry could be helpful in producing theories about social interaction that could also be investigated in the real world. Our lab will continue to investigate the effects of theatrical training on an actor’s sense of self in the hope that young people, including those with autism, can learn new social skills by taking part in theatre activities.” Artistic Director of Flute Theatre, Kelly Hunter, said, “The scientific recognition that our physiological selves respond when we hear our names deepened my understanding of the drama games I play with autistic individuals. And I have further developed the way I use the names of the autistic participants within our performances. It’s been a perfect combination of artistic instincts and scientific questioning, creating a deeper understanding of how we communicate.” 12. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By conducting random interviews. B. By assessing subjects’ brain activities. C. By observing actors’ interactions. D. By evaluating audiences’ responses. 13. What does the underlined word “suppress” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. To hide or hold back. B. To express or expose. C. To record or remember. D. To improve or strengthen. 14. According to paragraph 4, what does Greaves hope to do through the research? A. To allow actors to better focus during the performance. B. To help young people learn social skills through theatre. C. To replace traditional autistic therapies with theatrical training. D. To prove theatrical experience contributes to social interaction. 15. What is Kelly Hunter’s attitude towards the research findings? A. She doubts their usefulness for her work. B. She thinks they go against artistic instincts. C. She finds them too complicated to understand. D. She values them and has improved her practice accordingly. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于演员大脑活动的研究，该研究表明演员在扮演角色时能够抑制自我意识，且搭档演员之间会出现相似的大脑活动模式；研究还指出戏剧训练有望帮助年轻人（包括自闭症患者）学习社交技能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The team used wearable brain imaging technologies, alongside measurement devices, to evaluate the brain activity of actors as they played scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.(研究团队使用了可穿戴脑成像技术以及测量设备，来评估演员在表演莎士比亚《仲夏夜之梦》场景时的大脑活动)”可知，研究人员通过评估受试者的大脑活动来开展该研究。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The shout of a person’s own name is a powerful sound that normally makes the person turn his or her head. However, our findings suggest that actors may learn to suppress their sense of self as they train in the theatre and take on a different character.(一个人自己名字的呼喊声是一种极具冲击力的声音，通常会促使这个人转过头去。然而，研究发现表明，演员在剧院训练并扮演不同角色时，可能学会suppress他们的自我意识)”以及下文“The findings showed that when the actors heard their own names during the performance, their response was prevented in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is usually associated with self-awareness.(研究结果显示，当演员在表演期间听到自己的名字时，他们大脑中通常与自我意识相关的左前前额叶皮层的反应被阻止了)”可推知，suppress意为“抑制、隐藏”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Our lab will continue to investigate the effects of theatrical training on an actor’s sense of self in the hope that young people, including those with autism, can learn new social skills by taking part in theatre activities.(我们的实验室将继续研究戏剧训练对演员自我意识的影响，希望年轻人，包括那些患有自闭症的人，能够通过参与戏剧活动学习新的社交技能)”可知，Greaves希望通过该研究帮助年轻人通过戏剧学习社交技能。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The scientific recognition that our physiological selves respond when we hear our names deepened my understanding of the drama games I play with autistic individuals. And I have further developed the way I use the names of the autistic participants within our performances.(科学上认识到当我们听到自己的名字时生理自我会做出反应，这加深了我对与自闭症个体一起进行的戏剧游戏的理解。而且我已经进一步改进了在表演中使用自闭症参与者名字的方式)”可推知，Kelly Hunter重视这些研究发现，并据此改进了自己的实践方法。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. ____16____ We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does our approach a classic? Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere ____17____ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. Research, research, research. ____18____ Researching the author—and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. Just pick the book up. This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so.____19____ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle. ____20____ There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable! A. It is a gradual affair. B. Allow the book to grow with you. C. It has some form of historical influence. D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging. E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something. F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity. G. Focus on your own understanding. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要分析了大众不爱读经典著作的原因，介绍了品读经典书籍的实用方法，并告诉读者品读经典没有固定标准答案，重在享受阅读过程、形成自我感悟。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. (对经典的热爱显然不是一见钟情。)”可知，这里指出爱上经典并非易事，不是一蹴而就的。下文“We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us.(我们始于相识，最终成为可分享私人玩笑的亲密朋友。)” 描述了与经典作品的关系是逐步发展、由浅入深的。因此，本空需要一个句子，能承接“不是一见钟情”，并点明这种关系发展的特点。A选项“It is a gradual affair. (这是一个渐进的过程。)”中的“It”指代“Love for classics (对经典的爱)”或“与经典建立关系”这件事，符合题意。 【17题详解】 空格前“Every reader has to start somewhere(每个读者都必须从某个起点开始)“暗示读者一开始必然会遇到不懂的内容，本段主题是“Don’t be afraid to be confused(不要害怕困惑)”。空格后“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you'll learn.(相反，要为自己的尝试感到自豪，为你将学到的新事物感到兴奋。)”中“Instead”表明空格处应填入一种人们常有的负面反应，后文则给出正确的替代态度。E选项“Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.(永远不要因为不知道某些东西而责备自己。)”指出：既然每个读者都要从某处开始（意味着会有不懂的地方），就不要因此自我苛责，而应该为自己的尝试感到自豪。“Never beat yourself up”与“be proud of yourself”形成“不要做A，相反要做B”的对比逻辑，完美衔接。 【18题详解】 本题是选择段落小标题或段落首句。根据本段内容“Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about—can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. (研究作者——以及他们所写的时代和地点——可以帮助你在阅读棘手段落时定位自己。作者的经历、观点和历史背景可能会帮助你建立原本可能无法建立的联系。)”可知，本段核心是建议在阅读经典前或阅读中进行“研究”，包括作者、时代背景等，以帮助理解。D选项“Before you turn to page one, do some digging. (在你翻开第一页之前，做些挖掘工作。)”明确指出“在开始阅读前进行研究”，其中“do some digging(做些挖掘)”形象地概括了“research (研究)”这一动作，适合作为本段主旨句。 【19题详解】 由上文“This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so.(这一步显而易见。虽说随手拿起一本书并不难，但我们都清楚，说服自己行动起来有多不容易。)”提到“坚持阅读经典有难度，很多人容易半途而废。”，可知此处需给出鼓励，F选项“Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.(提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)”能给予读者动力，引导读者坚持阅读，衔接自然， 【20题详解】 根据本段内容“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable! (阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。没有确定的解释，没有单一、确切的答案。你作为读者的目标是发现哪些方面和见解对你有意义。享受这个过程。思考什么让你困惑，有目的地阅读，批判性地思考。即使你对作品的解读不太完美，它仍然是有价值的！)”可知，本段核心是鼓励读者在阅读经典时，注重个人化的理解和解读过程，享受其中，不必追求完美或唯一答案。G选项“Focus on your own understanding. (专注于你自己的理解。)”准确地概括了本段主旨，强调个人解读的价值。 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A. B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “There’s much more to being a living statue than simply standing still,” Izabela Radcliffe, who has performed all over the world as a living statue, reveals. “Aside from breathing without anyone noticing, moving can be the ____21____ aspect of being a living statue. Some moving statues don’t move at all, which fuels the audience’s ____22____ and keeps them watching closely. ____23____, for me, the true magic of this art happens when a living statue goes from stillness to movement. Movement instantly brings a statue to ____24____.” Izabela first ____25____ living-statue performance at twenty when she had a summer job in London. After she completed her studies in 2019, she decided living statue art would be part of her ____26____ life. Today, Izabela ____27____ working as a living statue with producing festivals, making theatrical costumes, ____28____ living statue workshops, and being a mum. “If I don’t have a booking at a special ____29____, I like to perform on the streets of Edinburgh. Every performance ____30____ depending on which of my thirty characters I’ve chosen to be — and the impromptu (即兴的) connections that develop between my statue and ____31____. They might take a photo or tell me a joke hoping I’ll laugh. Sometimes people lean on me, ____32____ thinking I’m a real statue!” On one occasion, a naughty boy ____33____ to throw his slice of birthday cake at Izabela’s Marie Curie statue. “I said in my measured, no-nonsense Marie Curie ____34____, ‘That would not be ____35____’ — and he promptly ate his cake!” she says, laughing. 21.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍活体雕像表演者Izabela Radcliffe分享了她对这门艺术的见解：静止能激发观众好奇心，而从静止到移动的瞬间才是真正的魔力所在。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：除了在无人察觉的情况下呼吸之外，移动可能是活体雕像表演中最棘手的方面。A. sweetest最甜蜜的；B. simplest最简单的；C. trickiest最棘手的，难办的；D. funniest最有趣的。根据上文“Izabela Radcliffe, who has performed all over the world as a living statue”可知，她是活体雕像表演者，活体雕像需要保持静止，所以移动是表演中“最棘手的”部分。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：一些移动雕像完全不动，这激发了观众的好奇心，让他们紧盯不放。A. curiosity好奇心；B. addiction上瘾；C. imagination想象力；D. concern担忧。根据下文“keeps them watching closely”可知，观众紧盯着雕像不放，说明激发了观众的“好奇心”。 【23题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，对我来说，这门艺术的真正魔力发生在活体雕像从静止到移动的那一刻。A. Besides此外；B. However然而；C. Instead相反；D. Therefore因此。上文讲完全不动的好处，下文“the true magic of this art happens when a living statue goes from stillness to movement.”讲作者认为真正魔力在于从静止到移动，两者是转折关系。 【24题详解】 考查名词。句意：移动能立即让雕像焕发生机。A. light光；B. fame名声；C. mind头脑；D. life生命。根据上文“goes from stillness to movement”和常识可知，移动给雕像带来了“生命”。 【25题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：Izabela二十岁时在伦敦做暑期工，第一次开始从事活体雕像表演。A. took up开始从事；B. called for要求；C. picked out挑出；D. got down下来。根据后文“After she completed her studies in 2019, she decided living statue art would be part of her ____ life.”可知，她第一次“开始从事”活体雕像表演。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：2019年完成学业后，她决定将活体雕像艺术作为她职业生活的一部分。A. professional职业的；B. social社交的；C. private私人的；D. academic学术的。根据下文“Today, Izabela  working as a living statue”可知，她成为了活体雕像表演者，说明完成学业后，她选择将活体雕像艺术作为“职业”生活。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：如今，Izabela将活体雕像工作与举办节日活动、制作戏剧服装、运营活体雕像工作坊以及做母亲结合在一起。A. compares比较；B. replaces取代；C. combines结合；D. matches匹配。根据下文“working as a living statue with producing festivals, making theatrical costumes,  living statue workshops, and being a mum”可知，她将雕像表演与多项事务“结合”在一起。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：如今，Izabela将活体雕像工作与举办节日活动、制作戏剧服装、运营活体雕像工作坊以及做母亲结合在一起。A. ignoring忽视；B. running运营，管理；C. avoiding避免；D. picturing想象。根据下文“living statue workshops”可知，工作坊要“运营”。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：如果我没有在特定活动的预约，我喜欢在爱丁堡街头表演。A. flight航班；B. hotel酒店；C. seat座位；D. event活动。根据上文“living statue workshops”可知，她有自己的活体雕像工作坊，表演活体雕像是她的工作，所以“booking”指的是在特定“活动”上的表演预约。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：每场表演都因我选择的三十个角色中的哪一个以及我的雕像与路人之间形成的即兴连接而不同。A. relates涉及；B. improves改善；C. repeats重复；D. varies变化，不同。根据下文“depending on which of my thirty characters I’ve chosen to be”和“impromptu (即兴的)”可知，每场表演角色都不同，是即兴的，所以表演也“不同”。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：每场表演都因我选择的三十个角色中的哪一个以及我的雕像与路人之间形成的即兴连接而不同。A. passers-by路人；B. performers表演者；C. party-goers派对参与者；D. employers雇主。根据上文“I like to perform on the streets of Edinburgh”可知，她在街头表演，所以互动对象是“路人”。 【32题详解】 考查副词。句意：有时人们靠在我身上，误以为我是真正的雕像！A. foolishly愚蠢地；B. intentionally故意地；C. mistakenly错误地；D. impolitely不礼貌地。根据上文“Sometimes people lean on me”和下文“thinking I’m a real statue”可知，人们“错误地”以为她是真雕像。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：有一次，一个淘气的男孩威胁要把他的生日蛋糕扔向Izabela的居里夫人雕像。A. failed失败；B. threatened威胁；C. managed设法；D. hesitated犹豫。根据下文“I said in my measured, no-nonsense Marie Curie , ‘That would not be appropriate’ — and he promptly ate his cake!”可知，男孩先是“威胁”要扔蛋糕，后被制止。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：我用冷静、严肃的居里夫人语气说：“那样不合适。”A. loneliness孤独；B. zone区域；C. bone骨头；D. tone语气。根据上文“I said in my measured, no-nonsense Marie Curie”可知，她用居里夫人的“语气”说话。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我用冷静、严肃的居里夫人语气说：“那样不合适。”A. economical经济的；B. convenient方便的；C. appropriate合适的；D. possible可能的。根据语境以及她制止男孩的行为，把蛋糕扔向雕像是不“合适的”。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题，共55分) 第二节 语法填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在答题纸1 相应空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Tianzhou 2, a cargo spacecraft launched on May 29, 2021, docked (对接) with Tianhe — the core module of the country’s permanent space station — early on the morning of May 30.

It was hiding under a broken car in our apartment parking lot, its gray fur wet and dirty. Most days, I just walked past it without a second look. After all, lost cats were everywhere in our city. But this one was different. Every evening at the same time, it would sit on the same spot, staring up at my window on the fourth floor. Not meowing. Not begging. Just watching. My mother told me to ignore it. “Feed one stray (流浪猫), and ten will show up tomorrow,” she said. So I did nothing. But the cat kept coming. Day after day, rain or shine, it sat there, its yellow eyes fixed on my window. Sometimes I would catch myself looking back at it from behind the curtain, wondering what it wanted from me. One night, a heavy storm hit our city. The wind howled like a wild animal, and the rain fell so hard that I could barely see the street below. Thunder cracked overhead, shaking the windows of our apartment. I lay in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about that small gray cat. Was it still out there? Had it found shelter under another car? I told myself it was not my problem. It was just a stray. There was nothing I owed it. But something kept pulling at my heart — a strange feeling I could not name. Finally, I got up, grabbed an old blanket and a can of tuna (金枪鱼), and ran downstairs. The parking lot was flooded.The broken car was still there, but the cat was gone. Then I heard a faint cry coming from behind a trash can. 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。 I walked toward the trash can and looked behind it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that night on, the cat became a part of my life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I walked toward the trash can and looked behind it. There huddled the little gray cat, trembling violently in the cold rain and wind. Its left paw was stuck in a concrete crack, bleeding from a tiny cut. I gasped and knelt down immediately, loosening the crack gently to free it. Wrapping it tight in my warm blanket, I held the opened tuna can to its mouth. It lifted its shivering head, licked my fingers softly, then nibbled at the fish. My heart melted completely, and I decided to take it home no matter what my mom would say. From that night on, the cat became a part of my life. I named it Rainy, and my mom, who was initially against keeping it, gradually fell in love with its quiet gentleness. It still sits by the window every day, but now on a soft sunlit windowsill instead of the cold parking lot. It waits for me to get home from school every afternoon, curls up on my desk when I do homework, and purrs softly to comfort me when I feel stressed about studies. That stray cat that once stared up at my window turned out to be the warmest surprise I ever got. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了原本对城市里随处可见的流浪猫无动于衷的“我”，在偶遇一只天天蹲守在自家四楼窗下停车场的灰色流浪猫后，于一个猛烈的暴风雨夜终因心软下楼救了躲在垃圾桶后发抖的小猫，之后小猫留在“我”身边，成为“我”生活一部分的暖心故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写垃圾桶后面小猫的状态和作者的行为动作和心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写猫融入作者生活中的表现和两者之间的互动。 2.续写线索：偶遇猫——猫受伤——伸援手——带回家——和谐相处——融为一体 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shiver ②跪下：kneel down/go down on one’s knees ③轻轻地：gently/lightly 情绪类 ①爱上：fall in love with/lose one’s heart to/be sweet on ②焦虑的：stressed/tense 【点睛】【高分句型1】Its left paw was stuck in a concrete crack, bleeding from a tiny cut.(运用了非谓语动词作状语) 【高分句型2】I named it Rainy, and my mom, who was initially against keeping it, gradually fell in love with its quiet gentleness.(运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省苏州中学2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语 本试卷仅供内部教学使用。未经授权，严禁擅自使用、复制或传播本试卷的任何部分。违者将承担法律责任。 本试卷分为第Ⅰ卷 (选择题) 和第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题) 两部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。所有答案均写在答题纸上。 第Ⅰ卷 (选择题，共95分) 该部分题目请作答于答题纸1 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.

B Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut (小屋) in Uganda, East Africa. Pedley admitted that he had not always led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I had always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting,” says Pedley. But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said. Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car—and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organisation that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too. Pedley’s organisation will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path. 4. Which of the following best describes Pedley in the past? A. Optimistic. B. Selfless. C. Unsympathetic. D. Independent. 5. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village? A. Help build community facilities. B. Do business with the local people. C. Help farmers increase potato output. D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching. 6. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble? A. To inspire them to live a more positive life. B. To encourage them to make friends with locals. C. To make them learn about different cultures. D. To train them to become doctors in the future. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Jon Pedley sold his farmhouse and car to start a business in Uganda. B. The people in Kigazi live a poor life and need clean water and hospitals. C. Nowadays English teenagers are sent abroad in order to change their lives. D. A former businessman gave up his comfortable life to help others in Africa. C In a dark house in Austin, Texas, a team of robots and scientists is raising millions of crickets (蟋蟀) every month. Once fully grown, these insects are roasted and seasoned, or ground (磨碎) into flour. This cricket farm is the innovation of Gabe Mott, Shobhita Soor and Mohammed Ashour, founders of Aspire Food Group. To launch the farm, they had to think big about crickets. No one had raised them for human consumption on this scale before. “We had to walk away from everything in the scientific literature,” Mott says. The group now runs constant tests on every box of food that’s produced — and about a million crickets are raised each day. Drops of water, hours of light, bits of feed, changes in temperature — all are valuable data points that help boost the cricket life cycle from birth to cricket flour. Pound for pound, crickets and other eatable insects provide a lot for the planet’s resources. Crickets contain more protein than beef, more calcium (钙) than milk, and more iron than cabbage. Crickets need just 2 pounds of food for every eatable pound they become. However, cows require 25 pounds of food for per pound of beef. Because it demands so many resources, the beef industry is a significant greenhouse gas contributor and driver of deforestation. As the Earth’s population increases by billions in the coming decades, food production must double to feed everyone. That has businessmen betting big that eating insects will be an important part of the world hunger solution. Among the companies doing the business are Aspire, Tiny Farms and Bitty Foods. But these companies must do their best to meet demand. Aspire’s main concerns are scale and efficiency, so they’re using data to maximize production. And crickets are perfect data generators. Their life lasts just months, providing a great opportunity to analyse every moment to perfect production. The company’s engineers designed feeder robots that look after the crickets, adding just the right amount of food and water they need. Over the next year or so, Ashour expects 70 to 80 percent of the cricket-raising process will be automated with highly skilled workers doing the rest. 8. How do the three founders run the cricket farm? A. They feed crickets healthy food. B. They learn a lot from the beef industry. C. They try to improve the cricket life cycle. D. They keep an eye on crickets’ movements. 9. What can we learn about crickets according to Paragraph 4? A. Their research value. B. Their advantages as food. C. Their diet and living habits. D. Their widespread popularity. 10. What will Aspire need first according to Ashour? A. More research on cricket marketing. B. Highly skilled workers to do constant tests. C. A larger number of crickets to be raised daily. D. Automated systems to handle most of the work. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. How to Raise Crickets for Food in Your Home B. Insect Farming: An attempt to Feed the World C. Beef Industry: A Major Cause of Global Warming D. Crickets: A Perfect Data Generator for Scientists D Recent research suggests that actors may be able to hide their everyday self when they take on a new character. Researchers worked with Flute Theatre, which creates and provides interactive productions of Shakespeare for autistic (患自闭症的) individuals and their families. The team used wearable brain imaging technologies, alongside measurement devices, to evaluate the brain activity of actors as they played scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Lead author Dwaynica Greaves said, “The shout of a person’s own name is a powerful sound that normally makes the person turn his or her head. However, our findings suggest that actors may learn to suppress their sense of self as they train in the theatre and take on a different character.” The findings showed that when the actors heard their own names during the performance, their response was prevented in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is usually associated with self-awareness. The researchers also found that during the play, there were similar activity patterns in the brains of paired actors who were working together. These areas are associated with social interaction. The effects were specific to the brain data and were not seen in the heartbeat or breathing data, showing that there are specific brain systems functioning together effectively during complex social interactions. Greaves said, “Our findings indicate that working together with the theatre industry could be helpful in producing theories about social interaction that could also be investigated in the real world. Our lab will continue to investigate the effects of theatrical training on an actor’s sense of self in the hope that young people, including those with autism, can learn new social skills by taking part in theatre activities.” Artistic Director of Flute Theatre, Kelly Hunter, said, “The scientific recognition that our physiological selves respond when we hear our names deepened my understanding of the drama games I play with autistic individuals. And I have further developed the way I use the names of the autistic participants within our performances. It’s been a perfect combination of artistic instincts and scientific questioning, creating a deeper understanding of how we communicate.” 12. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By conducting random interviews. B. By assessing subjects’ brain activities. C. By observing actors’ interactions. D. By evaluating audiences’ responses. 13. What does the underlined word “suppress” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. To hide or hold back. B. To express or expose. C. To record or remember. D. To improve or strengthen. 14. According to paragraph 4, what does Greaves hope to do through the research? A. To allow actors to better focus during the performance. B. To help young people learn social skills through theatre. C. To replace traditional autistic therapies with theatrical training. D. To prove theatrical experience contributes to social interaction. 15. What is Kelly Hunter’s attitude towards the research findings? A. She doubts their usefulness for her work. B. She thinks they go against artistic instincts. C. She finds them too complicated to understand. D. She values them and has improved her practice accordingly. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. ____16____ We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does our approach a classic? Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere ____17____ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. Research, research, research. ____18____ Researching the author—and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. Just pick the book up. This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so.____19____ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle. ____20____ There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable! A. It is a gradual affair. B. Allow the book to grow with you. C. It has some form of historical influence. D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging. E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something. F.

It was hiding under a broken car in our apartment parking lot, its gray fur wet and dirty. Most days, I just walked past it without a second look. After all, lost cats were everywhere in our city. But this one was different. Every evening at the same time, it would sit on the same spot, staring up at my window on the fourth floor. Not meowing. Not begging. Just watching. My mother told me to ignore it. “Feed one stray (流浪猫), and ten will show up tomorrow,” she said. So I did nothing. But the cat kept coming. Day after day, rain or shine, it sat there, its yellow eyes fixed on my window. Sometimes I would catch myself looking back at it from behind the curtain, wondering what it wanted from me. One night, a heavy storm hit our city. The wind howled like a wild animal, and the rain fell so hard that I could barely see the street below. Thunder cracked overhead, shaking the windows of our apartment. I lay in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about that small gray cat. Was it still out there? Had it found shelter under another car? I told myself it was not my problem. It was just a stray. There was nothing I owed it. But something kept pulling at my heart — a strange feeling I could not name. Finally, I got up, grabbed an old blanket and a can of tuna (金枪鱼), and ran downstairs. The parking lot was flooded.The broken car was still there, but the cat was gone. Then I heard a faint cry coming from behind a trash can. 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。 I walked toward the trash can and looked behind it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that night on, the cat became a part of my life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
