【导语】本文主要讲述儿子威廉追随父亲的骑行冒险经历，复刻旧照片与旅行路线，跨越时 光，收获了深刻的父子情感联结。 4.细节理解题。根据第一段Yet they were taken40 years apart.(然而这两张照片的拍摄时间相 隔四十年。)”可知，两张照片拍摄间隔四十年。 5.细节理解题。根据第三段I was raised on my dad's stories,”William told Cyclists Circle,.aund the adventure was always calling to me.(我从小听着父亲的故事长大，”威廉告诉《骑行者圈》， “这场冒险一直吸引着我。)”可知，他想要重温父亲的冒险旅程。 6.主旨大意题，根据第四段Finding the right bicycle wasn't easy.William had searched online for the steel-.framed touring bike his dad rode,and finally got it for f600.(找到合适的自行车并不容 易。威廉在网上搜寻父亲当年骑的钢架旅行自行车，并最终以600英镑购入。)”以及He dived into records,mapping out every documented route.And for the trickier locations,he turned to AI 高二期中考试英语第1页共8页 for help.(他翻阅记录，标出了每一条记录在案的路线。对于更棘手的地方，他转向人工智能 寻求帮助)”可知，本段主要介绍旅途的各项准备工作。 7.人物性格推理题。William耗时19个月骑行25,000公里，搜索同款自行车、借助AI定位 拍摄地点，体现其坚持不懈(persistent);他重现父亲姿势、追寻父亲足迹、感受"与父亲更 深的连接"，体现其重视家庭传承(family-oriented)。A项"self-critical"自我怀疑的、自我批判 的，原文未体现；C项"technologically skilled'"以AI使用以偏概全；D项"independent"忽略其 对父亲的情感依赖；reserve内敛的、保守的，未体现。故选B项。 8.B9.C10.D11.C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了bouba-kiki效应，即人们会将boba”与圆润形状、iki” 与尖锐形状联系起来；一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象，并提出该效应可能源 于物体物理属性，同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。 8.细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings,suggesting that the link to human language may not be so que.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现：维鸡也会做出同样的配对，这 表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对维鸡实验的描述可知，这项 新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。 9.细节理解题。根据第二段When the chicks heard bouba,'80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape.When the chicks heardkiki,'the opposite occurred..(当雏鸡听到bouba?时，80%会先靠近圆润形状，平均花三分多钟探索它， 而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到k”时则相反。)可知，雏鸡对两种声音的不 同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选A。 l0.主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out,since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak.Instead the "bouba-kiki"effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为，这些关联是由你说每个单 词时嘴巴的形状引起的，现在可以排除这种说法，因为小鸡尽管不会说话，但还是表现出了 这种效果。相反，boba-kki效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)可知，本段主要是对该 效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段Even iflanguage is unique to humans,”Loconsole says,that doesn't mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.?(洛康索莱说：“即使语言是人 类独有的，这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。)”可知，她认为这种音形关联能力 在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。 12.C13.D14.A15.C 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家首次测算出地球大气中微塑料微粒的总量，并揭示了其来源、 影响及仍待探索的未知问题。 l2.细节理解题。根据第一段Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles are floating in Earth's atmosphere.(科学家们首次精确计算出了漂浮在地 球大气层中的微塑料微粒数量。)可知，犹他州立大学的研究重点是首次提供全球大气微塑 高二期中考试英语 第2页共8页 料的估算数据。 I3.词义猜测题。构词法推断：deposited=de-(向下)+posit(放置)→向下放置→着陆 /沉降。上下文语境链推断：空后"these particles can pollute soil and water'"表明微粒进入土壤和 水，前提是从空中落到地面。后文列举每天有等同于数千万个塑料瓶子数量的微粒沉降到 (settle onto)地球表面的事实，也是对前一句的解释。D项"dropped”(落下)精准对应"从空 中到地面"的动态；A项"concentrated"强调密度增大，非位置移动；B项"trapped"(被困)与“流 入食物链”的结果矛盾；C项"1 eleased'"(释放)强调来源产生，非沉降过程。故选D项。 l4.推理判断题。根据第五段How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation..(这些微粒在空气中停留多久以及最终落在哪里也需要进 一步研究。)”可知，未来研究可能关注大气微塑料的具体迁移路径。 l5.主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段The number is almost unimaginable:600 quadrillion一 a 6 followed by 17 zeros,enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles,about 300 for every person on the planet.(这个数字几乎难以想象：600千万亿一6后面有17个0，足以制 造15亿多个塑料水瓶，地球上人均约300个。)”可知，文章最佳标题是“一场隐藏的危机： 天空中有600千万亿微粒！”。 16.C 17.A18.F19.E20.G 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了云存储是一种灵活、方便、完全放心的数据存储方式。 它有很多优点，但也有唯一缺点是你需要互联网来访问文件。 l6.根据空前Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient

are two options available:public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users;private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment.(这意味着你可以远程存储所有的数字物 品，而不会占用电脑空间。有两种选择：公共云存储允许您与其他用户共享托管空间；私有 云存储是希望将数据存储在自己环境中的公司的理想选择。)”可知，This means是指前面云 储存的将数据存储在托管服务器上的方式。故C项It enables you to store your data on Internet-based servers.(它使您能够将数据存储在线上服务器上。)符合语境。it指代前面的cloud storage。故选C项。 17.根据空后Once you have registered and set up your account,you simply save your files via the internet using your user name and password.(一旦你注册并设置了你的账户，你只需使用你 的用户名和密码通过互联网保存你的文件。)”可知，这里解释了云存储操作简单。故A项C1od storage is very simple to use..(云存储使用起来非常简单。)符合语境，对下文有总括作用。故选 A项。 l8.根据空前When you sign up to cloud storage,.you can choose

amount of对应， 高二期中考试英语 第3页共8贡 有承上作用。故选F项。 19.根据空前Computers crash all the time.(电脑总是死机。)可知，这里指出电脑缺点。而E 项This is the most common cause of lost work and memories.(这是丢失工作和记忆的最常见原 因。)符合语境。Ths指代前面的句子，有承上作用。故选E项。 20.根据空前There are so many advantages to cloud computing,from the ability to access your data from wherever,whenever,.to not needing expensive external storage devices.(云计算有很多 优点，从随时随地访问数据的能力到不需要昂贵的外部存储设备。)”可知，这里介绍了云存 储很多优点，后面要转折说出它的缺点故G项The only disadvantage,.however,is that you need internet to access files.(然而，唯一的缺点是你需要互联网来访问文件)符合语境，其中The only disadvantage与上文many advantages对应，有承上作用。故选G项。 21.B22.C23.A24.B25.D 26.C 27.D 28.A 29.B 30.C31.A32.C33.B34.D35.D 【导语】文章讲述了城市少年利奥起初不适应乡下的寂静，在祖母的引导与一只旧怀表的陪 伴下，逐渐听懂寂静、内心获得成长的故事。

collecting opinions on the plan to"Make Community Life Better",I would like to express my view. I strongly recommend adding more fitness facilities.Nowadays,many residents lack proper places to exercise after work or school.Fitness equipment enables people of all ages to work out conveniently nearby.It can not only help us keep physically healthy but also relieve daily pressure. Compared with a reading room and LED screens,fitness facilities benefit everyone physically. They also offer chances for neighbors to communicate while exercising,making our community more harmonious. Yours faithfully, Li Hua Possible version2: Dear Community Director, I am Li Hua,a resident of our community.Learning that our community is gathering suggestions for the project"Make Community Life Better",I'm writing to share my opinion. I highly suggest installing LED electronic screens in our neighborhood.They are able to release community announcements,safety guidelines and daily life tips in a timely manner. Different from traditional paper posters,LED screens allow easy content renewal and deliver information in a much more effective way,which helps foster a civilized and well-ordered community environment. When compared with a community reading room and fitness facilities,LED screens can provide real-time information for every resident.Surely they will greatly raise our life convenience and make our community a better place to live.

As meals became less of a battle,Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother's eyes. "It's time to make her feel needed,"Mira thought,appealing to Grandma's pride as the village's best tailor and asking her to make a special outfit for a school event.Grandma's eyes lit up immediately,a spark of the old force she once had returning.Mira and Grandma spent hours crafting together-Grandma patiently guiding her through measuring,cutting,and sewing,sharing stories of her tailor days.This interaction restored Grandma's self-worth,strengthened their bond, and gave her a new lease on life.Her appetite improved with renewed energy from skill recognition, leaving Mira amazed at al's role as an outstanding virtual psychologist 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Mira的奶奶拒绝吃饭，Mira求助AI后得知奶奶觉得 自己在家庭中没有了位置，于是Ma开始实施计划。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容‘在人工智能的帮助下，米拉开始了她的计划。”可知，第一段可描写米 拉根据AI的建议为奶奶制定食谱，家人也给予奶奶更多关注，奶奶逐渐改变了态度。 ②由第二段首句内容随着吃饭不再是一场斗争，米拉决定重新点燃祖母眼中的光芒。可知， 第二段可描写米拉利用奶奶的裁缝技能，让奶奶为学校活动制作特殊服装，奶奶的自我价值 感得到恢复，与米拉的关系也更加亲密。 2.续写线索：米拉制定食谱—家人给予关注—奶奶改变态度一米拉让奶奶制作服装 —奶奶自我价值感恢复—关系更加亲密 3.词汇激活： 行为类①表达：express/show/convey②恢复：restore/recover/renew③加强： strengthen/reinforce/enhance 情绪类①耐心地：patiently/.with patience②惊讶的：amazed/openmouthed 【点睛】[高分句型1]As days passed,Grand山na began to sense the genuine care and importance the family placed on her.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Grandma's eyes lit up immediately,.a spark of the old force she once had returning.

B At first glance,the two photos look like exact copies:a young cyclist beneath the glaciers near the Everest Base Camp,with his bike on his shoulder,face fixed in determination.The same spot,same light,same shadows.Yet they were taken 40 years apart. The first photo shows Perce Hughes,a cycling enthusiast who set out in 1984 at the age of 22 on an adventure that took him across Europe,through Asia and eventually to Sydney.In the second,William,Perce Hughes'son,recreated his father's pose almost four decades later. 高二期中考试英语第2页，共11页 "I was raised on my dad's stories,"William told Cyclists Circle,"and the adventure was always calling to me."And so,in September 2024,also at the age of 22,he carried out a plan of pedaling from the English town of Chatsworth on a 25,000-kilometer,19-month ride to Sydney. Finding the right bicycle wasn't easy.William had searched online for the steel-framed touring bike his dad rode,and finally got it for f600.Then there was the task of determining where his dad's photos were taken.He dived into records,mapping out every documented route And for the trickier locations,he turned to AI for help."It wasn't always smooth,but I kept trying."The result?A striking set of images-the same places,the same poses,sometimes even the same faces. One photo shows Perce Hughes with a young boy and his parents.William tracked down the location and,although the parents had passed away,he was able to meet and pose with the man the young boy had become. But the recreated moment that moved him the most was the Everest shot-bike on his back,glacier in the background."Every time I stood on the exact spot where he would have stood, I felt a deeper connection to Dad.The only thing dividing us was time.I've heard stories from my dad my entire life,and now I'm there in the places where those stories took place.It's very, very special.” 4.What do we know from the two photos?

Q Why does“bouba”sound round and“kiki”sound spiky(尖锐的)？This perception,known as "bouba-kiki"effect,is reliable all over the world,and for at least a century,scientists have 高二期中考试英语第3页，共11页 considered it a clue to the origin of language,theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape.But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding:baby chickens make these same pairings,suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole,a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua.She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels:one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves;the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion.They then played recordings of humans saying either "bouba"or "kiki"and observed the birds' behavior.When the chicks heard"bouba,"80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it,compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape.When the chicks heard"kiki,"the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out,since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak.Instead,thebouba-kiki"effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.When round objects hit the ground or roll,they typically produce more continuous,low-frequency sounds than spiky ones.A built-in grasp of those links between sight and sound,could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment,possibly to locate food or avoid predators. The "bouba-kiki effect may have played a role in the emergence of language.But for chickens,this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose."Even if language is unique to humans,"Loconsole says,"that doesn't mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans..” 8.What does the new study focus on? A.The origin of human language. B.Sound-shape connections in chicks. C.Animals'recognition of shapes. D.Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 9.In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A.Exploration preference. B.Reaction speed. C.Matching accuracy. D.Sound localization. 10.What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A.Its historical context. B.Its potential application. C.Its overlooked limitation. D.Its possible explanation. 高二期中考试英语第4页，共11页 11.What does Loconsole say about the effect? A.It originated in birds. B.It shows evolutionary tendency. C.It's shared across species. D.It's vital to language emergence. D Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles ( are floating in Earth's atmosphere.The number is almost unimaginable:600 quadrillion )-a 6 followed by 17 zeros,enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet.And it's all floating in the sky. The research,led by Utah State University's Janice Brahney,combined data from 2,782 measurements across the globe with atmospheric movement models."We've known for years that microplastics are everywhere-in the oceans,on mountains,even in rain,"Brahney said. "But the atmosphere was a big blind spot.Now we have a number,and it's far beyond what we expected." The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins,uncovering a surprising range of sources.Roads are the biggest contributor-the tiny pieces produced by wearing vehicle tires float in the air.Oceans also play a significant role:waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air.Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste. Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself.Once deposited,these particles can pollute soil and water,entering the food chain.In fact,every day,as much as millions of plastic bottles'worth of microplastics settles onto Earth's surface.More surprisingly,atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice. However,scientists caution that much remains unknown.The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood,though early research suggests potential links to lung problems.How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation. Despite these uncertainties,the study sends a clear message:plastic pollution is not just an ocean problem.It has become an atmospheric issue on a global scale-one that,as Brahney put it,"We're only beginning to understand." 高二期中考试英语第5页，共11页 12.What is the primary contribution of the Utah State University study? A.Identifying the major sources of microplastic pollution. B.Comparing microplastic levels in different environments. C.Providing the first global estimate of atmospheric microplastics D.Warning people about the health risks of breathing in microplastics. 13.What does the underlined word"deposited"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Concentrated. B.Trapped. C.Released. D.Dropped. 14.Which aspect of atmospheric microplastics may be the focus of future research? A.Its migration routes. B.Its monitoring methods. C.Its diverse sources. D.Its environmental impacts. 15.What is the best title for the passage? A.A Warning:The Threat of Microplastics B.Road Traffic:An Unexpected Source of Pollution C.A Hidden Crisis:600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky D.Microplastic Particles:A Problem of Various Origins 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 为多余项。 Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. 16 This means you can store all your digital things remotely,without taking up space on your computer.There are two options available:public cloud storage allows you to share server space with other users;private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment. 17 Once you have registered and set up your account,you simply save your files via the internet using your username and password.This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to any one else.Should you choose,you can put certain permissions in place,which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family.

It was early January.After finishing her exams,Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother.The old woman had once been a legend-she'd worked as a tailor )made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll.Now her eyesight had dimmed,her fingers trembled,but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms..Whenever someone ladled(用勺子舀) soup into her bowl,she would push it away,murmuring,"I don't need it.Save it for yourselves." Every meal played out the same way.It broke Mira's heart. Actually,the family was doing well.There was plenty of food,plenty of love.So why did eating-a simple,everyday act-seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her,but the more she talked,the more Grandma resisted.Until one day,in a moment of frustration,she blurted out,"Grandma,you make me so sad when you act 高二期中考试英语第10页，共11页 like this."The old woman froze,then sighed."I'm over seventy.I won't be around much longer.
