Fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions are just two of the reasons for doing so. Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction (摩擦) between tyres and road. Air resistance increases with the square of the speed. This means that a car experiences 28% more air resistance at a speed of 130km/h than at 110km/h. Slower speed is not the only way to reduce the CO2 emissions from your car. There are three automotive tips to help the climate else. STREAMLINE THE CAR 1. Unevenness (不均匀) increases the air resistance of your car, and so its CO2 emissions. Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%. GET UP THE GEARS (齿轮) QUICKLY 2. Petrol and diesel (柴油) cars should always be driven in the highest possible gear: the engine then has as few revolutions as possible. Fuel consumption between two gears can vary by up to 20%. MAINTAIN TYRE PRESSURE 3. Car tyres at the recommended pressure ensure ideal driving. If the tyre pressure drops to 75% pressure, fuel consumption increases by 2%. If it drops by half, the increase is as much as 10%. Here’s the breakdown of fuel consumption impact of driving habits and vehicle adjustments from the Federation of Danish Motorists (FDM). 1. Why does driving at a lower speed help cut fuel use? A. It weakens the physical forces the car must fight against. B. It changes the way air resistance affects the car. C. It lightens the weight of the moving vehicle. D. It makes the engine work at a higher speed. 2. What will happen if a car’s windows are wide open while driving? A. It’ll lower the car’s air resistance. B. It’ll reduce the car’s CO₂ emissions. C. It’ll lead to a sharp rise in fuel use. D. It’ll make the car run more smoothly. 3. What is the fuel-saving effect of reducing speed from 130km/h to 110km/h according to FDM data? A. 10%. B. 16%. C. Up to 20%. D. Nearly 28%. B On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of wellingtons and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certificated forest school. When I first entered them for the forest school programme, I loved the idea, but as a mum, I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly. They stared at me in confusion. They didn’t understand my question, so I quickly dropped the question. In this programme, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to adjust themselves. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows. “What about all the things they’re missing in real school?” concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close — a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games. I am grateful that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades. 4. What is special about the forest school programme? A. Teachers engage in kids’ play. B. Kids play and learn outdoors. C. It focuses on nature protection. D. It offers various food and drinks. 5. What made her son appreciate about forest school? A. Being encouraged to learn new skills quickly. B. Being provided with various outdoor equipment. C. Being grouped with children who share similar interests. D. Being allowed to stay in one place as long as they wish. 6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The concerns caused by the programme. B. The benefits gained from role-play. C. The skills acquired by children. D. The games loved by teachers. 7. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Nature: the wonderland for the young B. The forest school programme proves a hit C. Parks are replacing traditional schools D. Forest school is a fine place for my kids C From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes (通勤). Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 8. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To compare ants with human drivers. B. To criticize current traffic regulations. C. To explain the math behind traffic jams. D. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 10. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Following strict traffic rules. C. Driving too close to the front. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 11. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on active human intervention. D Experts have gained deeper insight into why people cannot help dancing to music. New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat, what some scientists call the “groove experience”, depends on the music’s degree of syncopation (切分节奏), a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is. Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody (旋律) appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat. The more syncopation a piece of music contains, the less accurately you can guess the rhythm of the next few bars as you listen. In a series of experiments with more than 60 participants, cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经学家) Benjamin Morillon of France’s Aix-Marseille university and his team examined how syncopation relates to the groove experience. In one test, they played 12 different melodies. The main beat was always two hertz (Hz), or roughly two events per second. But the melody’s rhythmic shifts varied so that each tune was played with three different degrees of syncopation. Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track. As Morillon and his colleagues reported in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation caused a strong desire to move to music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result. In other words, people didn’t particularly want to dance to an entirely predictable rhythm or a highly surprising one. “The work reveals why we cannot resist moving in line with the beat when we listen to music with an optimal level of syncopation,” says Benoit Bardy, a movement-science researcher at the university of Montpellier in France. Bardy, who was not involved in the new study, describes it as “a very innovative piece of science”. In addition, the “groove experience” seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying beats, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm, which represents a primary area of interest for forthcoming research. 12. What determines people’s desire to dance to music? A. Standard beats. B. Imagined dance steps. C. Accurate melodies. D. Surprising rhythmic patterns. 13. What did participants do in the experiment? A. Predict next rhythm in songs. B. Analyze music’s beat patterns. C. Measure their desire to move. D. Create new rhythmic melodies. 14. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Advanced. B. Average. C. Extreme. D. Unusual. 15. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. How composers create syncopated music. B. How the brain reacts to basic music beats. C. How to comprehend the music’s underlying meaning. D. How to improve the “groove experience” in the future. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many teenagers promise themselves they’ll go to sleep early, yet still stay up scrolling (浏览) their phones in the dark. As minutes turn into an hour, messages, short videos and games keep their brains awake. ____16____ Blue light from the screen slows the release of sleep hormones (荷尔蒙), and worries from social media can follow you into your dreams. The habit can be changed with a few simple steps. Build a phone-free wind-down time. Avoid lying in bed with your phone beside you. ____17____ After that, you might read a paper book, write in a diary, or simply listen to soft music. Keeping your hands busy with offline activities makes it easier to forget about checking your phone again. Understand why you reach for your phone. ____18____ Maybe you are afraid of missing out on news from friends, or maybe you are putting off thinking about homework. Once you name the true reason, you can look for healthier ways to deal with it, such as talking to someone you trust. Make nights something to look forward to. Plan a small treat, like enjoying a cup of warm milk or doing a short relaxation exercise. You could also keep a grateful list and add three good things that happened that day. ____19____ When your brain connects bedtime with comfort instead of stress, the pull of the phone grows weaker. ____20____ Instead, by practising these ideas, you can protect your sleep, care for your mental health, and wake up with more energy for the next day. A. You don’t have to let late-night scrolling control your life. B. Without strict requirements, you may stay up all night long. C. Of course, you shouldn’t completely give up smartphones to sleep well. D. Set a clear “screen-off” time, such as 30 minutes before you plan to sleep. E. Over time, this late-night scrolling quietly steals both your rest and your energy. F. Ask yourself what you are really looking for when you keep refreshing the screen. G. Focusing on these pleasant moments gently moves your attention away from the screen. 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，选出最佳选项。 Andrew Duhe wanted to give his wife Jennifer a special 40th birthday gift.

Overcome with anger, I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would lose my temper with my husband, Joe. As rain came down in sheets, Joe offered to take me to work. I struggled into my jacket, seized my bag and teaching plans and ignored him. He insisted and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. “Don’t you have enough to do? I can take care of myself.” I stormed out, not even kissing him good-bye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut. Joe and I had been eagerly looking forward to our retirement when a heart attack that past spring forced him to leave his job earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills mounted we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework. The new arrangement was a disaster. Exhausted after a day of full work, all I wanted was a hot homemade meal and a good night’s sleep. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. Sometimes he would serve oatmeal for several nights in a row. One night when I dragged myself to bed, I was terrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue. He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was just the secret. Ten minutes later, ignoring Joe’s warning I turned off the main route. I thought it hadn’t rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner, water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn’t risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. I got frightened to death when I heard three long honks. 47. Why did the author have to continue working full-time while her husband Joe stayed at home? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 48. What made the author unhappy with Joe at home? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Who made the honking sound? What may she/he do to save the author? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. 结合原文内容及下面所给的续写第一段，根据续写第二段开头语续写第二段，使之构成一篇完整的文章。 注意：1.续写词数 80词左右；2.请按如下格式在以下位置作答。 Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a truck. It was Joe! I couldn’t help bursting into tears. Joe shouted to me not to be frightened. Then he threw a thick rope so that I could hang on to it and walk straight toward him. I opened the door, grabbed it and inched out. However, a sudden fall left me in the rushing water. I struggled to my feet, only to find a branch blocking the way right in front of me. I screamed that I couldn’t make it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 成都七中万达学校2025-2026学年下期高2025级半期考试 英语试卷 满分: 150分 时间：120分钟 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了降低车速、优化车身设计、快速换挡及保持轮胎压力等可减少汽车燃油消耗和二氧化碳排放。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction (摩擦) between tyres and road.(你开得越慢，燃油消耗就越少，因为行驶中的汽车需要克服的物理阻力就越少，比如空气阻力和轮胎与路面之间的滚动摩擦力)”可知，以较低的速度行驶有助于减少燃油消耗是因为它削弱了汽车必须对抗的物理力。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据STREAMLINE THE CAR部分中“Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%.(四个打开的窗户会使燃油消耗增加高达27%)”可知，如果开车时车窗大开，会导致燃油使用量急剧上升。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表中“Speed:130→110 km/h (Fuel/CO₂ Saving)(车速：130 →110公里/小时（燃油/二氧化碳节省）)”对应的“16%”可知，根据FDM的数据，将车速从130km/h降至110km/h的节油效果是16%。故选B。 B On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of wellingtons and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certificated forest school.

They didn’t understand my question, so I quickly dropped the question. In this programme, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to adjust themselves. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows. “What about all the things they’re missing in real school?” concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close — a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games. I am grateful that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades. 4. What is special about the forest school programme? A. Teachers engage in kids’ play. B. Kids play and learn outdoors. C. It focuses on nature protection. D. It offers various food and drinks. 5. What made her son appreciate about forest school? A. Being encouraged to learn new skills quickly. B. Being provided with various outdoor equipment. C.

They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.(“那么他们在真正学校里所缺失的那些东西呢？”忧心忡忡的家长们曾向我询问。他们的两位任课老师都认为这不是什么问题，但最为重要的是，我的孩子们正在学习一些课堂无法传授的新技能和不同技能。他们学会安静地坐着，近距离观察大自然——这种技能在嘈杂拥挤的教室环境中几乎是无法培养出来的。他们跨越不同年龄段建立起了社交联系。他们相互合作，在游戏中利用各自不同的体型和能力来承担不同的角色。)”可知，第四段主要讲了孩子们所掌握的技能。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of wellingtons and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certificated forest school.(每逢周一，我的两个孩子上学的方式就与众不同。他们每次都会准备大量的食物和水、一双雨靴，有时还会带上一杯热巧克力。然后，我把他们送到附近的一个公园，让他们在那里在一个经过认证的森林学校里度过一整天)”结合文章主要说明了作者送孩子就读森林学校，起初心存顾虑，后发现孩子可自主户外探索，习得课堂难培养的观察、社交与协作能力，助力亲近自然成长。可知，D选项“森林学校对于我的孩子们来说是个很棒的地方”最符合文章标题。 C From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes (通勤). Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 8. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To compare ants with human drivers. B. To criticize current traffic regulations. C. To explain the math behind traffic jams. D. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 10. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Following strict traffic rules. C. Driving too close to the front. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 11. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on active human intervention. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蚂蚁的团队协作行为对缓解交通拥堵的启示及未来自动驾驶汽车的应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams.(研究表明，当密度达到每车道每英里15辆车时，单个驾驶员的突然刹车会导致持续时间长、范围广的交通堵塞。)”可知，在特定密度下，单个驾驶员的突然刹车会直接导致大面积高速公路交通堵塞。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake.(Katsuhiro Nishinari此前的研究已经表明，觅食的蚂蚁即使在种群密度很高的情况下也能保持平稳移动。最近的一项后续研究发现，它们通常以3到20只为一组旅行，以稳定的速度移动，彼此之间保持适当的间隙，从不试图超车。)”可知，第三段提到最近的后续研究是为了详细说明蚂蚁如何实现平稳移动。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry.(其中关键的一点就是避免tailgating。与前车保持安全距离有助于吸收密集交通中突然刹车产生的冲击波——这是一种优先考虑整体顺畅而非个人匆忙的简单做法。)”可知，与前车保持安全距离可以避免追尾，故tailgating意思是“与前车距离太近”。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits.(正如Katsuhiro Nishinari指出的那样，“与经常独立行动的人类驾驶员不同，未来的自动驾驶汽车可以被设计成共享实时数据并作为一个集成系统运行。”受蚂蚁的启发，这些车辆可以作为一个协作系统来升级交通流量，可能需要更新现有法规以充分实现其优势。)”可知，Katsuhiro Nishinari建议受蚂蚁启发的自动驾驶汽车应采用协作方法。故选B。 D Experts have gained deeper insight into why people cannot help dancing to music. New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat, what some scientists call the “groove experience”, depends on the music’s degree of syncopation (切分节奏), a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is. Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody (旋律) appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat. The more syncopation a piece of music contains, the less accurately you can guess the rhythm of the next few bars as you listen. In a series of experiments with more than 60 participants, cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经学家) Benjamin Morillon of France’s Aix-Marseille university and his team examined how syncopation relates to the groove experience. In one test, they played 12 different melodies. The main beat was always two hertz (Hz), or roughly two events per second. But the melody’s rhythmic shifts varied so that each tune was played with three different degrees of syncopation. Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track. As Morillon and his colleagues reported in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation caused a strong desire to move to music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result. In other words, people didn’t particularly want to dance to an entirely predictable rhythm or a highly surprising one. “The work reveals why we cannot resist moving in line with the beat when we listen to music with an optimal level of syncopation,” says Benoit Bardy, a movement-science researcher at the university of Montpellier in France. Bardy, who was not involved in the new study, describes it as “a very innovative piece of science”. In addition, the “groove experience” seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying beats, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm, which represents a primary area of interest for forthcoming research. 12. What determines people’s desire to dance to music? A. Standard beats. B. Imagined dance steps. C. Accurate melodies. D. Surprising rhythmic patterns. 13. What did participants do in the experiment? A. Predict next rhythm in songs. B. Analyze music’s beat patterns. C. Measure their desire to move. D. Create new rhythmic melodies. 14. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Advanced. B. Average. C. Extreme. D. Unusual. 15. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. How composers create syncopated music. B. How the brain reacts to basic music beats. C. How to comprehend the music’s underlying meaning. D. How to improve the “groove experience” in the future. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于人们会情不自禁跟着音乐跳舞的原因的新研究，探讨了音乐相关节奏特点与人的舞动欲望之间的关联。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat, what some scientists call the ‘groove experience’, depends on the music’s degree of syncopation (切分节奏), a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is.(新研究表明，跟着节拍跳舞的冲动——一些科学家称之为“律动体验”——取决于音乐的切分节奏程度，这是一种影响节奏可预测性的特征。)”可知，跟着音乐跳舞的欲望由切分节奏决定，也就是令人意外的节奏模式。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track.(随后参与者对自己跟着每一首曲子跳舞的欲望程度进行评分。)”可知，实验中参与者评估了自己跟着音乐舞动的欲望。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“As Morillon and his colleagues reported in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation caused a strong desire to move to music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result.(正如莫里昂及其同事在《科学进展》上发表的研究所示，中等程度的切分节奏会让人产生强烈的随音乐舞动的欲望。相比之下，切分音程度过高或过低都没有同样的效果。)”可知，人们喜欢跟着切分音始终的音乐舞动，由此猜测optimal在这里表示“适中的”，与Average含义相近。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm, which represents a primary area of interest for forthcoming research.(当一组参与者跟着想象的舞步用手指敲击时，他们几乎只跟着基础的2赫兹节拍敲击，而非旋律的节奏，这是后续研究的核心关注点。)”可知，后续研究将关注大脑对基本音乐节拍的反应。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many teenagers promise themselves they’ll go to sleep early, yet still stay up scrolling (浏览) their phones in the dark.

Scientifically 45. whose 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了广州中山纪念堂“木棉王”的保护工作。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：每年春天，中山纪念堂里有356年历史的木棉树开花，赢得了当地人的心。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，句子的主语the 356-year-old kapok tree与动词win之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词winning，表示自然而然的结果。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它被称为“木棉王”，是大自然的奇迹，因为这些树在野外很少能存活超过一个世纪。空格后的Kapok King是特指这棵356年树龄的木棉树，属于专有名词，前面需要用定冠词the。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在王永跃的带领下，该团队采用先进技术来监测树木的健康状况。 空格处作目的状语，表示使用先进技术的目的是监测树木健康，应该用不定式形式，构成“employ sth. to do sth.”的结构。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：研究人员在每次CT扫描中绘制出七八米深的树根。空格处是谓语动词，主语Roots与动词map之间是被动关系，且句子描述的是一般情况，用一般现在时的被动语态，结构为“am/is/are+过去分词”，主语是复数，所以填are mapped。 【40题详解】 考查动词。句意：这提醒我们要及时加固树木，以免为时已晚。“remind sb. to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“提醒某人做某事”，空格处需要用动词形式；strength是名词，其动词形式是strengthen，表示“加固；加强”。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：自2009年以来，王永跃每季度进行一次检查，重点是防治有害昆虫。根据空格后的名词短语a critical focus可知，空格处应该填入一个介词，表示伴随状态，说明检查的重点内容，所以应该用介词with。 【42题详解】 考查名词单复数。句意：该团队不依赖强力化学药品，而是采用生物防治方法。chemical表示“化学药品”时是可数名词，此处表示泛指，所以用复数形式chemicals。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：实验室专家毕可可描述了释放天敌来猎杀它们的过程。空格处修饰名词enemies，需要用形容词形式；nature是名词，其形容词形式是natural，表示“自然的；天然的”，natural enemies意为“天敌”。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：“从科学角度来说，这是大自然中一物降一物的故事，”他指出，并强调这种方法如何维持生态平衡。空格处修饰整个句子，需要用副词形式作状语；scientific是形容词，其副词形式是scientifically，表示“从科学角度来说”，注意句首单词首字母大写。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：对广州市民来说，这棵树不仅仅是一株植物；它是一个深受喜爱的家庭成员，它的福祉连接着这座城市的过去和未来。空格处引导定语从句，先行词是a beloved family member，关系词在从句中作定语，修饰well-being，表示“它的福祉”，所以用关系代词whose。 第四部分 写作(共两节 满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分20分) 46. 假定你是高一学生李华，你所在年级近期举办了语文课本剧展演活动。请你给英国笔友Peter写一封邮件，介绍该活动，内容包括： 1. 活动开展情况； 2. 活动带来的影响。 注意： 1.词数120左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇：语文课本剧展演Chinese textbook drama performance Dear Peter, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, How is everything going?

Overcome with anger, I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would lose my temper with my husband, Joe. As rain came down in sheets, Joe offered to take me to work. I struggled into my jacket, seized my bag and teaching plans and ignored him. He insisted and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. “Don’t you have enough to do? I can take care of myself.” I stormed out, not even kissing him good-bye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut. Joe and I had been eagerly looking forward to our retirement when a heart attack that past spring forced him to leave his job earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills mounted we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework. The new arrangement was a disaster. Exhausted after a day of full work, all I wanted was a hot homemade meal and a good night’s sleep. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. Sometimes he would serve oatmeal for several nights in a row. One night when I dragged myself to bed, I was terrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue. He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was just the secret. Ten minutes later, ignoring Joe’s warning I turned off the main route. I thought it hadn’t rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner, water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn’t risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. I got frightened to death when I heard three long honks. 47. Why did the author have to continue working full-time while her husband Joe stayed at home? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 48. What made the author unhappy with Joe at home? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Who made the honking sound? What may she/he do to save the author? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. 结合原文内容及下面所给的续写第一段，根据续写第二段开头语续写第二段，使之构成一篇完整的文章。 注意：1.续写词数 80词左右；2.请按如下格式在以下位置作答。 Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a truck. It was Joe! I couldn’t help bursting into tears. Joe shouted to me not to be frightened. Then he threw a thick rope so that I could hang on to it and walk straight toward him. I opened the door, grabbed it and inched out. However, a sudden fall left me in the rushing water. I struggled to my feet, only to find a branch blocking the way right in front of me. I screamed that I couldn’t make it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】47. Because Joe suffered a heart attack and had to retire early, and their medical bills kept increasing. 48. Joe was bad at doing housework. 49. It was Joe. He may come to pick her up and pull her car out of the flood to help her get out of danger. 50. I screamed that I couldn’t make it. Joe, however, remained calm！He urged me to take one step at a time and assured me I could make it. I moved forward slowly and cautiously before I fell into his arms. Sobbing against his chest, I apologized that I shouldn’t have taken the shortcut. Joe patted me saying his primary concern was my safety. Only then did I realize Joe actually understood how to take care of me despite his trouble with the housework. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者因丈夫乔突发心脏病提前退休、家中经济压力变大，只能独自外出全职工作，却不满丈夫笨拙糟糕的居家家务能力，二人矛盾渐生。雨天作者赌气不听丈夫劝告走危险近路，车辆被困积水路段，最终听到鸣笛声，暗示丈夫赶来救助的故事。 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Joe and I had been eagerly looking forward to our retirement when a heart attack that past spring forced him to leave his job earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills mounted we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework.(我和乔一直满心期待着退休生活，可就在那年春天，乔突发心脏病，不得不比原定计划提前离职。随着医疗开销与日俱增，我们意识到我必须继续全职工作，而乔则留在家中包揽家务。)”可知，作者必须全职工作，丈夫留在家中因为乔突发心脏病不得不提前退休，而且他们的医疗开支还在不断增加。 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Exhausted after a day of full work, all I wanted was a hot homemade meal and a good night’s sleep. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. Sometimes he would serve oatmeal for several nights in a row. One night when I dragged myself to bed, I was terrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue.(一整天全职工作下来筋疲力尽，我满心只想吃上一顿热腾腾的家常饭菜，再好好睡一觉。可餐桌上等着我的，却是一份微波速食。有时候他还会连着好几晚都只做燕麦粥。有一晚我拖着疲惫的身子上床休息，竟惊恐地发现乔把我们白色的床单染成了蓝色。)”可知，乔不擅长做家务让作者对居家的丈夫心生不满。 【49题详解】 考查开放性试题。根据最后一段“Ten minutes later, ignoring Joe’s warning I turned off the main route.(十分钟后，我不顾乔的提醒，驶离了主干道。)”可知，丈夫极力劝阻、担心作者安危，能确定鸣笛人是丈夫乔。第二问是开放性试题，言之有理即可，可以参考的答案是：他猜到妻子会走危险小路，一路寻来，接下来大概率会帮忙拖车脱困、接妻子回家，化解危险与矛盾。 【50题详解】 1.段落续写 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者的丈夫是如何鼓励作者克服了困难的，最后作者意识到丈夫其实懂得如何照顾自己，尽管他做家务很麻烦。 2.续写线索：引导作者脱险——作者道歉——丈夫安慰——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②照顾：take care of/attend to 情绪类 ①冷静的：calm/dispassionate ②哭泣：sob/weep 【点睛】[高分句型1] Sobbing against his chest, I apologized that I shouldn’t have taken the shortcut.（运用了现在分词短语作状语，that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Only then did I realize Joe actually understood how to take care of me despite his trouble with the housework.（运用了“only+状语”置于句首的部分倒装） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
