Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons? No, thanks. Interactive theatre? Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty. So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults? I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to dismiss it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored. Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended. Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both. 4. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her? A. It simplified her daily routine. B. It left her more time for work. C. It flattened her life into dullness. D. It spared her unwanted socializing. 5. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club? A. To make a conscious shift in her life. B. To revisit a former interest in reading. C. To meet her friend’s repeated requests. D. To occupy a blank in her personal calendar. 6. How did the author feel when losing the chess game? A. Totally relieved. B. Slightly puzzled. C. Rather embarrassed. D. Somewhat delighted. 7. What message does the author try to convey? A. Learn to say no. B. Break out of your shell. C. Look before you leap. D. Let go of the past. C In his new book The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt uses numerous statistics and charts to show that rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers exploded in the early 2010s right after the emergence of the smartphone and social media. Haidt calls the period from 2010 to 2015 the “Great Rewiring”, the time when smartphones and social media became widely adopted among teens and when we saw sharp increases in teen mental health problems. Haidt states that the switch from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood is largely responsible for the anxious generation. It is funny that while parents stopped letting children play around the neighborhood without adult supervision (监督) because of the fear of what random strangers would do, they allowed their children access to the Internet where random strangers could steal their minds and hearts. Haidt claims, “Two trends — overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world — are the major reasons why children born after 1995 became the anxious generation.” Some academics have tried to point, unconvincingly, to other factors, like the global financial crisis in 2008, or climate change, to explain the teen mental health crisis. Haidt also demonstrates why smartphones and social media are responsible. In chapter 5, he discusses “four foundational harms” introduced and encouraged by these technologies: social deprivation (剥夺), sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction. He shows that while the Internet offers a pretense of connection and socializing, its popularity has made people (teenagers in particular) feel lonelier and has deprived them of real-world connections. The final part of the book is a call to collective action. To undo the harm caused by the Great Rewiring, Haidt says communities must work together. Parents, schools, tech companies, and governments need to do their part to build better policies that will give children a better childhood — a childhood with more freedom in the real world and less freedom in the virtual world. This book contains a lot of helpful and alarming information. If you are a parent or grandparent of a young child, this will be the book for you. 8. What leads to the explosion of anxiety and depression among teens in the early 2010s? A. The fear of the digital age. B. The reduction in phone-based life. C. The increase in play-based activities. D. The arrival of smartphones and social media. 9. What is the author’s attitude to some academics’ viewpoints in paragraph 2? A. Unclear. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Tolerant. 10. What does Haidt propose in the last part of his book? A. Establishment of phone-free schools. B. Government control over media content. C. Teens’ self-management in virtual spaces. D. Joint effort from all parties to erase the harm. 11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on parenting. B. To offer useful guidance to educators. C. To highlight the harms of social media. D. To clarify the proper usage of smartphones. D Scientists have long known that insects can communicate, but new research shows their ways are more complex than we ever imagined. Although we can hear some insect sounds like cricket chirps, most of their communication happens in ways humans cannot naturally detect. Bees, for instance, use a complicated “waggle dance” to tell others about food sources. The dance’s direction, duration, and intensity precisely express information about the distance and quality of nectar (花蜜) sources. This inner system allows bee colonies to efficiently gather food from kilometers away. Many insects also communicate through chemical signals called pheromones. Ants leave smell clues to food sources, while moths can detect potential partners from several kilometers away using these invisible chemical messages. What’s remarkable is how specific these signals are — different pheromones can represent alarm, mark trails, or attract mates. Recent studies show that some insects even use vibrational communication, which means they will use a continuous shaking movement to share information. Treehoppers send signals through plant stems, creating vibrations that other treehoppers “hear” through their legs. Similarly, some caterpillar species shake to signal danger to their siblings. The most surprising discovery involves electrical fields. Bees carry a slight electrical charge from flight, and flowers have weak negative charges. When a bee visits a flower, it leaves an electrical mark that tells other bees the flower’s nectar has been recently harvested. This helps bees avoid empty flowers, making their foraging more efficient. Dr. Maria Schmidt, who leads insect communication research at the National Biology Institute, explains: “We’re just beginning to understand how rich and varied insect communication is. These tiny creatures have evolved multiple complicated systems that we’re only now learning to decode.” As the research continues, scientists hope these findings will help develop new ways to protect crops without harming beneficial insects, and perhaps even inspire new communication technologies for humans. 12. How do bees share information about food locations? A. Through special dances. B. Through electrical fields. C. Through chemical signals. D. Through body vibrations. 13. What does the underlined word “foraging” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Building homes. B. Fighting against enemies. C. Searching for food. D. Escaping poisonous flowers. 14. What can be inferred from Dr. Schmidt’s statement? A. Insect communication research is nearly complete. B. There is still much to learn about insect communication. C. Most insect communication methods are now well understood. D. There are only a few insect communication methods to be discovered. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Vital Role: Why Insects Matter in Nature B. Simple Patterns: Understanding Insect Behavior C. Hidden World: How Insects Really Communicate D. Future Tech: Learning from Insect Communication 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。 Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge: to survive. ____16____Therefore, we can navigate our local environments safely. We’re also naturally talented at recognizing faces. Ever since we lived in groups, we humans have needed to know who’s “part of the pack”, and who isn’t, as a vital part of staying safe. And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection.____17____ In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have got flu. And guess what? Those “contaminated (受污染的)” objects proved to be significantly easier to recall. None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later — just in case it could keep them safe. ____18____When you’ve got something important to remember, why not “tag” it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can’t help holding on to? Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look — and smell! ____19____Your instinct for self-protection keeps things in your thought more than normally. Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge! ____20____ A. It enables us to have a disgustingly good memory. B. Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills. C. We seem to be born with the ability to remember routes. D. It’s an involuntary response that you can use to your advantage. E. To sharpen our brain, we visualize everything as what we hate. F. Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a better chance of remembering the fresh one. G. But, when your memory needs a boost, a bit of negative feelings can be healthy for your recall. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The dismissal letter (解雇信) trembled in my hand.

One morning, Rosella, my close friend, marched into my apartment, holding a coffee pot and a bag of Ethiopian coffee beans. “Let’s learn to make something real. Then we’ll talk about living.” she said softly but ____24____, which is a(n) ____25____ comfort in my otherwise bitter days. What began as a distraction became a(n) ____26____. I learned how the minerals in water might affect the flavor, and how the foam on a cappuccino whispered truths that office reports never ____27____. The real ____28____ point arrived during a cupping (品鉴) session at a Queens Café.

It serves special drinks ____31____ career challenges: one for those switching careers midlife and another symbolizing startup pains. Each cup comes with a note about the beans’ journey from mountain to cup, and space for customers to write their own ____32____ of starting over. It’s ____33____ to read the experiences that people share. The anxiety ____34____, replaced by rhythmic hum of the coffee machine. Now, when the morning light hits the milk jug just right, I no longer see the shadow of my former high-achieving self. ____35____, I see a woman who, just like the coffee beans, allows herself to be transformed into something richer, deeper, and far braver. 21.

Wake up! You are late!” The loud voice of my mother rang in my ears. “Five more minutes...” I said sleepily, covering my ears with my pillow (枕头). I had a habit of being late for school every morning. Despite the repeated warnings of my discipline master and parents, I found it difficult to change. “I have no time to drive you to school anymore. I need to get to work. Walk to school by yourself!” my mother said in annoyance as she hurried out of the door. As I was about to close my eyes again, realization hit me — Today I was taking my mathematics test! I glanced at the bedside clock. A minute before 7:30 am. “Oh no! I am going to be late!” I panicked as I jumped out of bed. I got changed, grabbed my schoolbag and ran out of the house like a bolt of lightning. Just as I was about to run across the road, dark clouds filled the sky, appearing above like a heavy curtain. I dug in my schoolbag anxiously for an umbrella but to my regret, I had not packed one as I was late. Running now, I could see the school gate. Then, the heavens opened and I was wet from head to toe. I glanced at my watch. I was out of breath as I was ten minutes late for school! What if the examination had already started? What if I was not allowed to sit it because I was late? A lot of questions flooded my mind at the thought of missing the examination. 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 rushed towards the examination hall, my heart pounding in my chest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the examination, I walked out of the hall with a mixture of relief and regret. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆市第十八中学高2027届2025—2026学年（下）5月学情调研 英语试题 考试说明： 1．考试时间120分钟 2．试卷总分150分 3．试卷页数5页 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.

Students are advised to take shelter at a safe place until the weather and traffic conditions have improved.(如果在上课期间发出当地8号或以上热带气旋警告信号、黑色暴雨警告信号或政府宣布“极端情况”，所有课程将立即暂停。建议学生在天气和交通状况改善前，在安全的地方避难。)”可知，如果当地风暴警告信号10号在中午12点生效，学生应该待在室内直到风暴减弱。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“When the tropical cyclone (热带气旋) warning signal No. 8 or above or the black rainstorm signal is in effect, or when there are other severe weather conditions, all department heads should, in response to the government’s appeal, adopt a sympathetic and flexible approach in making arrangements for students and give due consideration to their safety and the practicality of them travelling from home to campus.(当八号或以上热带气旋警告信号、黑色暴雨警告信号生效，或出现其他恶劣天气状况时，各部门负责人应响应政府号召，在为学生做安排时采取体谅且灵活的方式，充分考虑学生的安全以及他们往返家校的可行性。)”以及第一个小标题“Students should refer to the University’s guidelines below:(学生应参考以下大学指引：)”可知，文章主要讲述了在极端天气条件下学校对学生课程安排和校园交通的调整通知，所以文章的目的是宣布极端风暴期间校园的一般安排。故选D。 B For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that. Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons? No, thanks. Interactive theatre? Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty. So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults? I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to dismiss it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored. Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended. Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both. 4. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her? A. It simplified her daily routine. B. It left her more time for work. C. It flattened her life into dullness. D. It spared her unwanted socializing. 5. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club? A. To make a conscious shift in her life. B. To revisit a former interest in reading. C. To meet her friend’s repeated requests. D. To occupy a blank in her personal calendar. 6. How did the author feel when losing the chess game? A. Totally relieved. B. Slightly puzzled. C. Rather embarrassed. D. Somewhat delighted. 7. What message does the author try to convey? A. Learn to say no. B. Break out of your shell. C. Look before you leap. D. Let go of the past. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者曾认为喜好固定，拒绝新事物，生活单调空虚。为改变现状，她主动尝试读书、下棋等，逐渐走出舒适区，生活变得充实有趣。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.(但我对任何不属于自己的事物都本能地拒绝，这使我陷入了重复的工作、睡眠、饮食的循环之中，这让我感到无精打采，内心也有些空虚)”可知，这位作者的固执想法使她的生活变得毫无生气，变得枯燥乏味。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train.(因此，为了摆脱这种无聊的感觉，我开始思考自己的品味到底是否是固定不变的，还是说这或许是可以通过训练来改变的)”可知，作者接受朋友邀请参加读书俱乐部是为了有意地改变自己的生活状态。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended. (说实话，被一位早在你父母相识之前就开始玩的老手打得落花流水，那种体验真的无可比拟。在那里，我与他人产生的共鸣，比我参加过的任何一场专为二十几岁年轻人组织的社交活动都要强烈)”可知，当作者输掉那场棋局时，他当时的心情稍许感到高兴。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.( 每周在日程本上写下“尝试新事物”，彻底打破了我无意中陷入的“工作—通勤—瘫倒”的死循环。如今，我只需默数五下，上前对看起来最友善的人说声“你好”，起初那点尴尬便会很快烟消云散。至于下周？谁知道呢。也许是魔法课，也许是人体写生，也许两者都要)”可知，每周在作者日程表上的环节，打破了作者原本无意间构建起来的以工作、通勤和崩溃为循环的生活模式，可推理出作者想要表达的是放开自己内心的束缚。 C In his new book The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt uses numerous statistics and charts to show that rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers exploded in the early 2010s right after the emergence of the smartphone and social media. Haidt calls the period from 2010 to 2015 the “Great Rewiring”, the time when smartphones and social media became widely adopted among teens and when we saw sharp increases in teen mental health problems. Haidt states that the switch from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood is largely responsible for the anxious generation. It is funny that while parents stopped letting children play around the neighborhood without adult supervision (监督) because of the fear of what random strangers would do, they allowed their children access to the Internet where random strangers could steal their minds and hearts. Haidt claims, “Two trends — overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world — are the major reasons why children born after 1995 became the anxious generation.” Some academics have tried to point, unconvincingly, to other factors, like the global financial crisis in 2008, or climate change, to explain the teen mental health crisis. Haidt also demonstrates why smartphones and social media are responsible. In chapter 5, he discusses “four foundational harms” introduced and encouraged by these technologies: social deprivation (剥夺), sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction. He shows that while the Internet offers a pretense of connection and socializing, its popularity has made people (teenagers in particular) feel lonelier and has deprived them of real-world connections. The final part of the book is a call to collective action. To undo the harm caused by the Great Rewiring, Haidt says communities must work together. Parents, schools, tech companies, and governments need to do their part to build better policies that will give children a better childhood — a childhood with more freedom in the real world and less freedom in the virtual world. This book contains a lot of helpful and alarming information. If you are a parent or grandparent of a young child, this will be the book for you. 8. What leads to the explosion of anxiety and depression among teens in the early 2010s? A. The fear of the digital age. B. The reduction in phone-based life. C. The increase in play-based activities. D. The arrival of smartphones and social media. 9. What is the author’s attitude to some academics’ viewpoints in paragraph 2? A. Unclear. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Tolerant. 10. What does Haidt propose in the last part of his book? A. Establishment of phone-free schools. B. Government control over media content. C. Teens’ self-management in virtual spaces. D. Joint effort from all parties to erase the harm. 11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on parenting. B. To offer useful guidance to educators. C. To highlight the harms of social media. D. To clarify the proper usage of smartphones. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。Jonathan Haidt在新书《焦虑的一代》中指出，21世纪10年代初智能手机和社交媒体出现后，青少年焦虑和抑郁率急剧上升。书中还阐述了相关危害并呼吁各方共同努力为孩子创造更好童年。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In his new book The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt uses numerous statistics and charts to show that rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers exploded in the early 2010s right after the emergence of the smartphone and social media.(在他的新书《焦虑的一代》中，Jonathan Haidt使用大量统计数据和图表表明，在智能手机和社交媒体出现后的21世纪10年代初，青少年焦虑和抑郁率急剧上升)”可知，21世纪10年代初青少年焦虑和抑郁率急剧上升的原因是智能手机和社交媒体的出现。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Some academics have tried to point, unconvincingly, to other factors, like the global financial crisis in 2008, or climate change, to explain the teen mental health crisis(一些学者试图指出其他一些难以令人信服的因素，如2008年的全球金融危机或气候变化，来解释青少年心理健康危机)”可知，作者认为这些学者指出的因素难以令人信服，由此可推知作者对一些学者的观点持不赞成的态度。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The final part of the book is a call to collective action. To undo the harm caused by the Great Rewiring, Haidt says communities must work together. Parents, schools, tech companies, and governments need to do their part to build better policies that will give children a better childhood—a childhood with more freedom in the real world and less freedom in the virtual world.(书的最后一部分呼吁集体行动。为了消除‘大重组’造成的危害，Haidt说社区必须共同努力。家长、学校、科技公司和政府需要各尽其职，制定更好的政策，给孩子们一个更好的童年——一个在现实世界中有更多自由、在虚拟世界中有更少自由的童年)”可知，Haidt在书的最后一部分提议各方共同努力消除危害。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This book contains a lot of helpful and alarming information. If you are a parent or grandparent of a young child, this will be the book for you(这本书包含很多有用且令人警醒的信息。如果你是一个幼儿的父母或祖父母，这本书将适合你阅读)”可知，最后一段提到了这本书包含很多有用且令人警醒的信息。如果你是一个幼儿的父母或祖父母，这本书将适合你，可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是推荐一本关于育儿的书。故选A项。 D Scientists have long known that insects can communicate, but new research shows their ways are more complex than we ever imagined. Although we can hear some insect sounds like cricket chirps, most of their communication happens in ways humans cannot naturally detect. Bees, for instance, use a complicated “waggle dance” to tell others about food sources. The dance’s direction, duration, and intensity precisely express information about the distance and quality of nectar (花蜜) sources. This inner system allows bee colonies to efficiently gather food from kilometers away. Many insects also communicate through chemical signals called pheromones. Ants leave smell clues to food sources, while moths can detect potential partners from several kilometers away using these invisible chemical messages. What’s remarkable is how specific these signals are — different pheromones can represent alarm, mark trails, or attract mates. Recent studies show that some insects even use vibrational communication, which means they will use a continuous shaking movement to share information. Treehoppers send signals through plant stems, creating vibrations that other treehoppers “hear” through their legs. Similarly, some caterpillar species shake to signal danger to their siblings. The most surprising discovery involves electrical fields. Bees carry a slight electrical charge from flight, and flowers have weak negative charges. When a bee visits a flower, it leaves an electrical mark that tells other bees the flower’s nectar has been recently harvested. This helps bees avoid empty flowers, making their foraging more efficient. Dr. Maria Schmidt, who leads insect communication research at the National Biology Institute, explains: “We’re just beginning to understand how rich and varied insect communication is. These tiny creatures have evolved multiple complicated systems that we’re only now learning to decode.” As the research continues, scientists hope these findings will help develop new ways to protect crops without harming beneficial insects, and perhaps even inspire new communication technologies for humans. 12. How do bees share information about food locations? A. Through special dances. B. Through electrical fields. C. Through chemical signals. D. Through body vibrations. 13. What does the underlined word “foraging” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Building homes. B. Fighting against enemies. C. Searching for food. D. Escaping poisonous flowers. 14. What can be inferred from Dr. Schmidt’s statement? A. Insect communication research is nearly complete. B. There is still much to learn about insect communication. C. Most insect communication methods are now well understood. D. There are only a few insect communication methods to be discovered. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Vital Role: Why Insects Matter in Nature B. Simple Patterns: Understanding Insect Behavior C. Hidden World: How Insects Really Communicate D. Future Tech: Learning from Insect Communication 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍昆虫多样且复杂的交流方式，以及相关研究的新发现和潜在价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Bees, for instance, use a complicated “waggle dance” to tell others about food sources. (例如，蜜蜂会用复杂的“摇摆舞”来告知同类食物源的位置)”可知，蜜蜂是通过特殊的舞蹈来分享食物位置信息的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“When a bee visits a flower, it leaves an electrical mark that tells other bees the flower’s nectar has been recently harvested. This helps bees avoid empty flowers, making their foraging more efficient. (当蜜蜂造访一朵花后，会留下一个电标记，告知其他蜜蜂这朵花的花蜜已被采集过。这能帮助蜜蜂避开空花，让它们的foraging行为更高效)”可知，蜜蜂造访一朵花后，会留下一个电标记，告知其他蜜蜂这朵花的花蜜已被采集过。所以foraging指的是蜜蜂寻找花蜜的行为，也就是“搜寻食物”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中Dr. Maria Schmidt的话“We’re just beginning to understand how rich and varied insect communication is. These tiny creatures have evolved multiple complicated systems that we’re only now learning to decode. (我们才刚刚开始了解昆虫的交流方式有多丰富多样。这些小生物进化出了多种复杂的交流系统，而我们直到现在才开始学着破解它们)”可推断，关于昆虫的交流方式，还有很多内容有待研究。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇指出昆虫的交流方式比人类想象的更复杂，随后分别介绍了蜜蜂的摇摆舞、昆虫的信息素、震动交流以及电场交流等多种人类不易察觉的交流方式，最后提及相关研究的意义。C选项“隐秘的世界：昆虫究竟如何交流”能够全面概括文章核心内容，为最佳标题。故选C项。 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。 Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge: to survive. ____16____Therefore, we can navigate our local environments safely. We’re also naturally talented at recognizing faces. Ever since we lived in groups, we humans have needed to know who’s “part of the pack”, and who isn’t, as a vital part of staying safe. And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection.____17____ In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have got flu. And guess what? Those “contaminated (受污染的)” objects proved to be significantly easier to recall. None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later — just in case it could keep them safe. ____18____When you’ve got something important to remember, why not “tag” it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can’t help holding on to? Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look — and smell! ____19____Your instinct for self-protection keeps things in your thought more than normally. Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge! ____20____ A. It enables us to have a disgustingly good memory. B. Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills. C. We seem to be born with the ability to remember routes. D. It’s an involuntary response that you can use to your advantage. E. To sharpen our brain, we visualize everything as what we hate. F. Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a better chance of remembering the fresh one. G. But, when your memory needs a boost, a bit of negative feelings can be healthy for your recall. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕人类的记忆系统展开，解释了记忆系统如何受到生存本能的驱动，以及如何利用这种本能来提高记忆能力。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Therefore, we can navigate our local environments safely.(因此，我们能够安全地在我们当地的环境中辨别方向。)”推知，空处指出我们可以辨别方向的原因。选项C“We seem to be born with the ability to remember routes.(我们似乎生来就有记住路线的能力)”指出我们天生有记住路线的能力，所以我们能安全辨别方向，符合逻辑。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection.(而且我们非常擅长记住那些可能会危及我们自身健康的事物。最近的一项研究表明，我们在回忆任何与感染有关的事物时都极其准确。)”可知，我们在回忆任何与感染有关的事物时都极其准确。选项B“Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills.(即使是想象中的危险也能提高我们的记忆能力。)”延续上文内容，指出哪怕危险是想象出来的，也能提高我们的记忆能力。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later— just in case it could keep them safe.(实际上，没有一个志愿者需要亲自去触碰那些物品。但他们的大脑仍然优先处理与这些物品相关的信息，将这些信息储存起来以备日后之需——万一这些信息能保障他们的安全呢。)”可知，大脑会将这些物品的相关信息自动存储起来。选项D“It’s an involuntary response that you can use to your advantage.(这是一种不由自主的反应，你可以利用它为自己谋利。)”概括了上文的内容，指出这是一种无意识的、但有利于生存的反应。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look — and smell!(担心会忘记购物清单上的牛奶吗？想象一下那个牛奶瓶，再想象一下打开它却发现已经过期好几个星期了。想想它的样子——还有气味！)”可知，上文提到了过期牛奶的味道。选项F“Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a better chance of remembering the fresh one.(多亏了厌恶的力量，你更有可能记住要买新鲜的牛奶。)”中的“the power of disgust”对应前文对过期牛奶的厌恶想象，“remembering the fresh one”与前文记住购物清单上的牛奶相呼应。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge!(不过，不要过于频繁地使用这种方法，否则你最终会一直处于紧张不安的状态！)”可知，上文指出这种方法不能频繁使用。选项G“But, when your memory needs a boost, a bit of negative feelings can be healthy for your recall.(但是，当你的记忆力需要提升时，一点负面情绪对你的回忆会有好处。)”总结了全文主旨，即利用一些负面的情绪或想象来提高记忆力。虽然这种方法不能过度使用，但在需要时是一种有效的记忆技巧。故选G。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The dismissal letter (解雇信) trembled in my hand.

The photo shows my teammates and me huddled together on the school playground, grinning from ear to ear with our arms slung over each other’s shoulders, our class flag held high in our hands. During the sports meet, when our last runner finally crossed the finish line in first place, the deafening cheers erupting from our classmates and proud smiles lighting up our teachers’ faces made all the hard work worthwhile. This picture doesn’t just capture a winning moment — it reminds me that the best school memories are made not by being alone, but by growing and achieving together. Sample 2 If there’s one picture that sums up my favorite school memory, this is it.

She stood beside us with a soft smile, her finger gently pointing at the exercise book to break down the tricky problem we’d been stuck on for hours. She guided us to think from a new perspective. This picture doesn’t just capture a moment of sudden understanding — it reminds me that the best school memories are made not by solving problems alone, but by learning and growing with the guidance and company of teachers. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于开放性作文。要求考生以李华的身份为校园照片配英文说明，描述照片并讲述背后故事。 【详解】1.词汇积累 震耳欲聋的：deafening → thunderous 爆发出：erupt → burst out 值得的：worthwhile → rewarding 捕捉：capture → seize 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：The photo shows my teammates and me huddled together on the school playground, grinning from ear to ear with our arms slung over each other’s shoulders, our class flag held high in our hands. 拓展句：The photo shows my teammates and me huddled together on the school playground, who grinned from ear to ear, with our arms slung over each other’s shoulders, our class flag held high in our hands. 【点睛】【高分句型1】During the sports meet, when our last runner finally crossed the finish line in first place, the deafening cheers erupting from our classmates and proud smiles lighting up our teachers’ faces made all the hard work worthwhile.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】This picture doesn’t just capture a winning moment — it reminds me that the best school memories are made not by being alone, but by growing and achieving together.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “John Tan! Wake up! You are late!” The loud voice of my mother rang in my ears. “Five more minutes...” I said sleepily, covering my ears with my pillow (枕头). I had a habit of being late for school every morning. Despite the repeated warnings of my discipline master and parents, I found it difficult to change. “I have no time to drive you to school anymore. I need to get to work. Walk to school by yourself!” my mother said in annoyance as she hurried out of the door. As I was about to close my eyes again, realization hit me — Today I was taking my mathematics test! I glanced at the bedside clock. A minute before 7:30 am. “Oh no! I am going to be late!” I panicked as I jumped out of bed. I got changed, grabbed my schoolbag and ran out of the house like a bolt of lightning. Just as I was about to run across the road, dark clouds filled the sky, appearing above like a heavy curtain. I dug in my schoolbag anxiously for an umbrella but to my regret, I had not packed one as I was late. Running now, I could see the school gate. Then, the heavens opened and I was wet from head to toe. I glanced at my watch. I was out of breath as I was ten minutes late for school! What if the examination had already started? What if I was not allowed to sit it because I was late? A lot of questions flooded my mind at the thought of missing the examination. 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 rushed towards the examination hall, my heart pounding in my chest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the examination, I walked out of the hall with a mixture of relief and regret. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I rushed towards the examination hall, my heart pounding in my chest. I prayed that I would still be allowed to take the examination. When I reached the door, I took a deep breath and knocked gently on it. The teacher opened the door, looking confused and a little annoyed. I stammered out an apology and explained my situation. To my relief, she let me in, but warned me not to be late again. I quickly took my seat, trying my best to calm myself down. As I looked at the test paper, my mind almost went blank. But I knew I had to focus and do my best. After the examination, I walked out of the hall with a mixture of relief and regret. I was relieved that I had been able to take the examination, but in the meanwhile felt a little bit regretful for my habit of being late. I didn’t want to miss out on any opportunities because of my lateness or let my laziness ruin my future. So I decided then and there that I would get rid of the bad habit. I would set multiple alarms and make sure to be on time. As I walked home, still wet from the rain, I had faith in my becoming a more responsible and punctual person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者有每天早上上学迟到的习惯，这天因为睡过头而快要错过考试。最后赶上了考试，作者决定不再因为迟到而错过任何机会，开始准时上学。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我冲向考场，心怦怦直跳。”可知，第一段可描写作者参加考试时的心理活动以及表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试结束后，我走出考场，心里既宽慰又遗憾。”可知，第二段可描写作者决定改变习惯，不再迟到。 2.续写线索：赶到考场——老师责备——无法专心——走出考场——决定改变——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中：focus/concentrate ②决定：decide/determine ③确保：make sure/ensure 情绪类 ①愤怒的：annoyed/snaky ②冷静：calm down/cool down 【点睛】[高分句型1] I prayed that I would still be allowed to take the examination.
