B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了某城市推出的社区共享出行项目，包括可用车辆、收费标准、预订归还规则及参与人群等信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“To directly address residents’ practical travel challenges like inconvenient daily commutes (通勤) and high family trip costs, our city has launched the Community Shared Mobility Program.(为直接解决居民日常通勤不便、家庭出行成本高等实际出行难题，我市推出了社区共享出行项目)”可知，该项目的目的是解决居民的出行问题。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“E-bikes & e-scooters”的收费标准“Peak season $8”，以及表格下“Note”里的内容“The peak season is during official holidays and summer vacation (June 15 to August 31); other times are in the off-season.(旺季为法定节假日及暑假(6月15日至8月31日)；其余时间为淡季)”可知，7月属于旺季，电动自行车每小时收费8美元。再结合“Book & Return”里的规则“Book at least 1 hour ahead, with a maximum usage of 8-hour per trip. ·Overtime is charged at 1. 5x the hourly rate and billed by the hour.(·至少提前1小时预订，每次使用最长8小时。·超时按小时费率的1.5倍收费，按小时计费)”可知，租用8.5小时的话，8小时按原价收费，0.5小时按超时计费，总费用为8×8 + 8×1.5×1=64+12=76美元。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Who Can Join?”里的内容“A comprehensive instruction book is provided on the official app for all new users.(官方应用程序为所有新用户提供一本全面的使用说明书)”可知，新用户会得到一份详细的使用指南。故选B项。 B If there’s one sound which represents everything there is to fall in love with on safari (观兽旅行), it’s the roar of a lion at nightfall. I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spill outward like an unfolding story. We’d just watched a remarkable stand-off: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats. The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654, 000-hectare region is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino poaching statistics in the country. Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were. Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes. 24. What did the author witness about the lions? A. Their playful race. B. Their staged show. C. Their fierce conflict. D. Their hunting attempt. 25. What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A key concept. B. A public image. C. An ignored idea. D. An active practice 26. Which of the following best describes Damien? A. Calm and distant. B. Informed and passionate. C. Dynamic and creative. D. Adventurous and visionary. 27. What does the author think of the safari? A. It displayed racial harmony. B. It had a disappointing ending. C. It revealed why she loved nature. D. It satisfied what she could hope for. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文记述了作者在南非Waterberg私人保护区观兽旅行的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration.(我们刚刚目睹了一场引人注目的对峙：母狮们露出牙齿和肌肉，对一头靠得太近的占主导地位的雄狮。先是咆哮声，然后是突然而猛烈的冲锋。狮爪飞舞，它们的呼吸在草原上方的空气中飘荡，最后雄狮沮丧地转身倒在地上)”可知，作者目睹了狮子之间激烈的冲突。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino poaching statistics in the country.(由于私人保护区、土地所有者和反偷猎单位之间的合作，该地区记录了该国最低之一的犀牛偷猎数据)”可知，该地区在保护野生动物方面取得了显著成效，说明保护在该地区是一种积极的实践。由此可推测，a lived value意为“一种积极的实践”，与D选项“An active practice.(一种积极的实践)”符合题意。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound.(首席导游Damien Fourie知识渊博，对每一处景象和声音都像孩子一样兴奋)”以及“And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were.(后来在驱车途中，我们看到一头两周大的白犀牛摇摇晃晃地跟在它的母亲身旁走着。那一刻，它和我们一样兴奋不已)”可知，Damien Fourie知识渊博，对每一次的景象和声音都充满热情，由此可推测出他是一个知识丰富且充满激情的人。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes.(并不是每一次观兽旅行都需要一个激动人心的结局。有时候，一个缓慢、雾蒙蒙的早晨和一个安静的甲板就足够了)”可知，作者认为观兽旅行并不总是需要激动人心的结局，一个安静、缓慢的早晨和甲板也能满足期望。由此可推测出作者认为这次观兽旅行满足了她的期望。D选项“It satisfied what she could hope for.( 这满足了她所期望的一切)”符合题意。 C Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.” 28. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”? A. They contain valuable metals. B. They have recharging qualities. C. They own battery-like structures. D. They generate renewable power. 29. What can be inferred about the ISA? A. It prioritizes economic interests. B. It is guarded about seabed mining. C. It opposes commercial operations. D. It requires more technical support. 30. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4? A. Deep-sea mining meets demands. B. Carmakers reuse battery materials. C. Battery recycling needs promoting. D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk? D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown? 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了海底多金属结核开采的利弊及争议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.(太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带，那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。海底采矿公司将它们宣传为“岩石中的电池”和“解决气候变化的最简单方法”。他们声称，这些结核可以为48亿辆电动汽车提供金属。)”可知，这些结核被称为“岩石中的电池”是因为它们含有有价值的金属。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement.(国际海底管理局（ISA）仍在确定如何以及在什么条件下允许采矿。经过28年的辩论，其168个成员国仍未达成正式协议。)”可知，关于采矿，ISA仍未达成正式协议，由此可推断，它对海底采矿持谨慎态度。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. (钴开采在汽车电池技术中是否真的那么重要也不确定。许多电池公司正试图从废旧电池中回收钴。今年3月，几家欧洲主要汽车制造商联合声明，在“完全了解”环境风险之前，他们不会购买任何深海采矿生产的金属。与此同时，几家中国电动汽车生产商已经做出了改变，从废旧电池中回收了高达95%的金属。)”可知，作者想在第四段说明的是深海钴开采可以等待。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). (太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带，那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。)”以及第二段中“Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity.(然而，这一承诺威胁着生物宝藏。海洋生物学家揭示，CCZ在黑暗中庇护着5000多种独特的物种。钴的广泛开采可能导致生物多样性的丧失。)”以及最后一段中““An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”(“评估采矿的影响需要多年的研究，”爱丁堡的安德鲁说。“我正在努力获取最好的环境数据。然后由社会来决定是否继续进行。”)”可知，文章主要讨论了多金属结核开采的利弊及争议，由此可知，C选项“Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?(海洋金属，海洋风险？)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 D Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for over a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épée fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabre fencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat”. This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes. 32. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity” in paragraph 2? A. Equality. B. Innocence. C. Rarity. D. Imbalance. 33. What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish between? A. Different athletes’ tricks. B. Two sources of advantage. C. Top players’ performance. D. The impacts of unfamiliarity. 34. What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply? A. Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. B. A higher proportion of athletic left-handers. C. The variations among different fencing events. D. Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. 35. According to Dr. Simon, what accounts for lefties’ sport-specific excellence? A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their superior technical skills. C. Their swifter brain processing. D. Their special movement patterns. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了左撇子在部分单人对抗运动中占比更高，研究证实其优势并非只源于陌生感，而是大脑信息处理更快，微小脑部差异能决定顶级赛事胜负。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers.(左撇子仅占人口的约十分之一，他们在这样一个为右撇子设计的世界里常常会遭遇诸多困难)”可知，左撇子仅占人口十分之一，数量少，很稀有，故划线词意思是“稀有”。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for more than a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase.(为了验证自己的这一观点，西蒙博士对顶尖运动员在羽毛球、乒乓球、网球以及三种击剑项目中的表现进行了长达十多年的研究。他推断，如果这种优势仅仅是由于不熟悉所致，那么在最高水平的比赛中这种优势就会减弱，因为在那里，选手们会识破左撇子的招数。然而，如果这是一种与生俱来的因素，那么这种优势实际上可能会进一步增强)”可知，西蒙的实验旨在区分两种不同的优势来源。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male épée fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect.(他的研究揭示了一个有趣的规律。在花剑、重剑以及乒乓球项目中，顶尖选手中左撇子的占比明显更高。例如，男子重剑前两百名选手中左撇子占18%，男子花剑前两百名中占23%；而仅统计前一百名时，这一比例分别升至28%和31%。但其余三项运动并未出现这一现象)”可知，第三段中的这些数字意味着左撇子在某些顶级运动项目中具有优势。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épéé fencing.(他认为他们的大脑在处理视觉、空间以及时间信息方面尤为出色，并且能够迅速做出反应，这对于诸如花剑和重剑击剑这类需要快速反应的运动来说至关重要)”可知，据西蒙博士所说，导致左撇子在特定运动项目中表现出色的原因是他们的大脑处理信息的速度更快。 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。 Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern. ___36___ Often, the answer is: not really. Medicine is complex. ___37___ For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results. People may also not know the exact terms to search for. A search for “bloating (腹胀)” might suggest eating more slowly or avoiding dairy products, which can help if bloating is from too much air, but not so if it’s from fluid (液体) build-up. Only after seeing a doctor and undergoing a physical examination would it be identified as “ascites (腹腔积水)”. ___38___ Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind. Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website. ___39___ Government agencies are also trustworthy and offer regularly updated information. Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment. ___40___ By following these tips, we can improve our chances of finding useful, accurate, and objective health information. A. So is this trend bound to continue? B. But is online medical advice actually reliable? C. These pages may be created by profit-driven companies. D. An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation. E. Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation. F. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to figure out a website’s intentions. G. Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讨论了当前人们倾向于在网上寻求医疗建议的现象，并对此进行了分析和评价。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern.(如今，许多人在发现疾病迹象时都求助于互联网寻求医疗建议。这是可以理解的，因为看医生既耗时又昂贵，除非是严重的健康问题)”以及后文“Often, the answer is: not really.(通常，答案是：并非如此)”可知，前文提到很多人生病时求助互联网，后文说答案是并非如此，所以空处应是提问是否可靠，B项“But is online medical advice actually reliable?(但是网上的医疗建议真的可靠吗？)”和上文构成转折关系，下文是对本句的回答，符合文意。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据后文“For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results.(例如，一个健康的25岁的人咳嗽的原因可能与一个65岁的吸烟者不同。然而，他们可能会找到相同的搜索结果)”可知，此处是举例说明，互联网不会考虑个体因素，E项“Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation.(网络文章往往没有考虑到每个人的独特情况)”符合此处主题，后文是对本句的举例。故选E项。 【38题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind.(许多文章都是为了赚钱或推动特定的议程而写的，而不是为了给出准确的建议。事实上，网上只有一小部分健康信息是考虑到读者的最大利益而创建的)”可知，本段讲述了网上很多文章都是为了赚钱或推动特定的议程而写的，而不是为了给出准确的建议，由此推知，会有一些错误的信息。D项“An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation.(一个更大的问题是医疗错误信息的增加)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website.(幸运的是，一些策略可以帮助我们找到可靠的医疗信息。首先，查看作者和网站)”可知，此处介绍如何找到可靠信息，首先，查看作者和网站，G项“Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites.(可靠的来源通常由医生撰写或托管在可信的网站上)”是对可靠作者和网站的具体讲述，符合文意。故选G项。 【40题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结。根据上文“Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment.(此外，如果一个网站推荐某种特定的药物或程序，特别是如果它有很大的广告)”可知，这样的网站通常是牟利。C项“These pages may be created by profit-driven companies.(这些页面可能是由逐利公司创建的)”是对前文情况的总结，符合文意。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As a talkative tour guide, I’ve always struggled with listening. I take notes everywhere — museums, lectures, tours — collecting facts to ____41____ later. So when I cruised (乘游轮前往) to Greenland, I arrived with my usual ____42____ for collecting stories, completely unprepared for the lesson I would receive on ____43____. In Nuuk, I met Tina, an Inuit culturalist. She spoke with purpose and compassion, intentionally but not ____44____. Through Tina, I learned that Inuit culture doesn’t just ____45____ silence — it embraces it. She recalled her large family sitting together for hours, wordlessly enjoying each other’s ____46____, or summers spent listening to birds and creeks without feeling the need to ____47____. Until then, I had been constantly ____48____ facts and talking to everyone I met, ____49____ my reputation as a chatterbox. I asked Tina endless questions, which seemed to ____50____ her patience. For the first time, I truly listened — not just to words, but to the silence in between. In the following days on the cruise, I began to ____51____ invitations to converse. Sometimes a smile and nod would work as a(n) ____52____ response. Later, while leading my own tours, I still sometimes ____53____ conversations. But this is when I will stop and ask myself, “What would Tina do?” Though I still talk too much, the Greenland experience did ____54____ how I engage with the world, thanks to Tina and the ____55____ silence she taught me to treasure, and the new-found value of listening. 41.

This is not the scene that shoppers here remember from Basant in the past. The kite festival was legally held this month in Lahore for the first time since 2007, ____57____ a provincial ban on Basant took effect. Basant’s return for three days in early February saw a more regulated version of the traditional spring festival — with strict rules for kite sellers, banned items for buyers ____58____ a set window for when kites were allowed in the sky. There was a reason for these restrictions: Kite flying in the province ____59____ (become) dangerous before earlier kite flying regulations were put in place in 2005. For many in Lahore, kite flying isn’t a form of____60____ (relax). It’s a competitive sport. Over time, this competition gave rise to the use of stronger, synthetic kite string. Saleem-ud-Din, ____61____ kite maker in Lahore, says the increased use of this string changed things. “It became unsafe,” he says, ____62____ (add) that he and other craftsmen didn’t approve. “We say whatever bad thing people are using, get rid of it.” The provincial government banned the string to make kite-flying ____63____(safe). One major task for Basant was making sure those varieties ____64____ (transport) legally into the city from other parts of Pakistan, where production is less regulated. Now that Basant is officially over, according to Punjabi law, kite flying is back to being prohibited. It’s ____65____ (clear) whether Basant will return to Lahore or other parts of Punjab next year. 【答案】56. needed 57. when 58. and 59. had become 60. relaxation 61. a 62. adding 63. safer 64. were transported 65. unclear 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了巴基斯坦拉合尔市传统风筝节Basant在2007年被禁止后首次合法举办，以及举办期间的规定、过去被禁止的原因及未来的不确定性。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在本月的春季节日Basant到来之前，人们在拉合尔老城区的街道上摩肩接踵，寻找风筝和放风筝所需的线。空处作后置定语修饰the string，the string与need之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词needed。故填needed。 【57题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这不是这里的购物者记得的过去Basant的场景。本月，风筝节自2007年该省实施Basant禁令以来，首次在拉合尔合法举办。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是2007，关系词在从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when。故填when。 【58题详解】 考查连词。句意：2月初，Basant回归，为期三天，呈现出一个更规范的传统春季节日版本——对风筝销售商有严格规定，对购买者有禁止物品，还有一个允许风筝上天的固定时间段。空处连接三个并列的内容“strict rules for kite sellers”“banned items for buyers”和“a set window for when kites were allowed in the sky”，所以用连词and。故填and。 【59题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：这些限制是有原因的：在2005年实施早期放风筝规定之前，该省的放风筝活动已经变得很危险。根据时间状语“before earlier kite flying regulations were put in place in 2005”可知，“变得危险”这一动作发生在“实施规定”之前，即过去的过去，要用过去完成时。故填had become。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：对拉合尔的许多人来说，放风筝不是一种放松的形式。空处前有介词of，应填名词，relax的名词形式是relaxation，且为不可数名词。故填relaxation。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：拉合尔的一位风筝制作者Saleem-ud-Din说，这种线的使用增加改变了一切。空处修饰单数名词kite maker，泛指“一位风筝制作者”，且kite是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“它变得不安全了，”他补充说，他和其他工匠并不赞成。句中已有谓语动词says，此处需用非谓语动词作伴随状语，he与add之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填adding。 【63题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：省政府禁止了这种线，以使放风筝更安全。结合语境，禁止危险的线是为了让放风筝比之前更安全，此处暗含比较关系，所以用safe的比较级safer。故填safer。 【64题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：Basant的一项主要任务是确保这些种类的线是从巴基斯坦其他监管较少的地区合法运输到该市的。此处为宾语从句的谓语动词，结合主句时态was可知，从句用一般过去时，且those varieties与transport之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用were。故填were transported。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：目前还不清楚明年Basant是否会回到拉合尔或旁遮普省的其他地区。空处作表语，结合句意“是否会回归还不确定”，可知此处应填clear的否定形式unclear。故填unclear。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，参加了你校组织的智慧农场（Smart Farm）实践活动。请给你的外国笔友Linda写一封邮件，分享此次活动。内容包括：（1）活动经历；（2）你的感想。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80左右； （2）可适当增加细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 Dear Linda, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】范文： Dear Linda, Last Friday, I took part in a smart farm study tour organized by our school, and I can’t wait to share this enlightening experience with you! At the farm, we stepped into a futuristic scene: drones spraying crops with precision, sensors sending live soil data to a tablet, and a fully automated greenhouse that looked like a high-tech plant lab. I was lucky to operate the temperature control system like a real “tech farmer”. Even more exciting was the strawberry-picking robot, which carefully identified and picked the ripe berries using cameras and AI. I watched in awe, marveling at how wonderfully technology and farming can work together. This activity truly opened my eyes, not only providing a deep insight into smart farming, but also exposing me to the charm of cutting-edge technology. I really hope you can visit the smart farm someday.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ May got a new idea and she decided o have a talk with Mrs. Miller. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. Olivia’s face lit up with excitement. “That would be awesome!” she replied. The two girls started chatting animatedly about all the craft ideas they had, like making friendship bracelets and paper lanterns. As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day. When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts. May got a new idea and she decided to have a talk with Mrs. Miller. After lunch, she made her way to Room 301 in Teaching Building B. She walked in nervously but when she saw Mrs. Miller’s warm smile, her courage grew. May explained her love for crafts and how she hoped to start a craft club. Mrs. Miller was delighted and said it was a wonderful idea. With Mrs. Miller’s support, May couldn't wait to tell Olivia and start their very own craft club, looking forward to making more friends who shared their passion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了刚从中国搬到新国家的May，在新学校第一天因手工中国龙“龙龙”丢失而焦虑，后被Olivia归还并结为好友，最终在Olivia的影响和Miller老师的支持下，决定创办手工俱乐部，逐渐适应新的学校生活的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““当然可以！放学后要不要在这里见？”May问道。”以及第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第一段可描写May和Olivia相谈甚欢，她突然有了个想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第二段可描写May突然想到可以建议Miller老师创办一个手工俱乐部，而Miller也觉得这个想法很棒。 2.续写线索：May提出和Olivia放学后见面——两人见面后兴致勃勃聊起了手工——而两人的交谈也给了May一个新的想法——于是，May决定和Miller老师谈谈，她建议Miller老师可以创办一个手工俱乐部——老师觉得这个主意不错——有了老师的支持，May迫不及待想和Olivia分享这个消息——May也对新的学校生活充满了期待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①全神贯注于：be engrossed in/be lost in ②与某人谈话：have a talk with sb/ talk with sb ③前往、去某处：make one's way to/head for 情绪类 ①绝妙的：awesome/splendid/wonderful ②高兴的：delighted/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和省略关系代词that/which的定语从句修饰先行词a sense of ease） 【高分句型2】When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 余姚中学2025学年第二学期期中考试高二英语学科试卷 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the speakers do next?

B If there’s one sound which represents everything there is to fall in love with on safari (观兽旅行), it’s the roar of a lion at nightfall. I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spill outward like an unfolding story. We’d just watched a remarkable stand-off: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats. The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654, 000-hectare region is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino poaching statistics in the country. Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were. Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes. 24. What did the author witness about the lions? A. Their playful race. B. Their staged show. C. Their fierce conflict. D. Their hunting attempt. 25. What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A key concept. B. A public image. C. An ignored idea. D. An active practice 26. Which of the following best describes Damien? A. Calm and distant. B. Informed and passionate. C. Dynamic and creative. D. Adventurous and visionary. 27. What does the author think of the safari? A. It displayed racial harmony. B. It had a disappointing ending. C. It revealed why she loved nature. D. It satisfied what she could hope for. C Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.” 28. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”? A. They contain valuable metals. B. They have recharging qualities. C. They own battery-like structures. D. They generate renewable power. 29. What can be inferred about the ISA? A. It prioritizes economic interests. B. It is guarded about seabed mining. C. It opposes commercial operations. D. It requires more technical support. 30. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4? A. Deep-sea mining meets demands. B. Carmakers reuse battery materials. C. Battery recycling needs promoting. D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk? D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown? D Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for over a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épée fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabre fencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat”. This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes. 32. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity” in paragraph 2? A. Equality. B. Innocence. C. Rarity. D. Imbalance. 33. What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish between? A. Different athletes’ tricks. B. Two sources of advantage. C. Top players’ performance. D. The impacts of unfamiliarity. 34. What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply? A. Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. B. A higher proportion of athletic left-handers. C. The variations among different fencing events. D. Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. 35. According to Dr. Simon, what accounts for lefties’ sport-specific excellence? A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their superior technical skills. C. Their swifter brain processing. D. Their special movement patterns. 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。 Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern. ___36___ Often, the answer is: not really. Medicine is complex. ___37___ For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results. People may also not know the exact terms to search for. A search for “bloating (腹胀)” might suggest eating more slowly or avoiding dairy products, which can help if bloating is from too much air, but not so if it’s from fluid (液体) build-up. Only after seeing a doctor and undergoing a physical examination would it be identified as “ascites (腹腔积水)”. ___38___ Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind. Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website. ___39___ Government agencies are also trustworthy and offer regularly updated information. Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment. ___40___ By following these tips, we can improve our chances of finding useful, accurate, and objective health information. A. So is this trend bound to continue? B. But is online medical advice actually reliable? C. These pages may be created by profit-driven companies. D. An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation. E. Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation. F. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to figure out a website’s intentions. G. Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As a talkative tour guide, I’ve always struggled with listening.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Sure!
