B Last April,after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month,an editor told me he'd often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper.As a newspaperman,I'm not ready to undermine readership of each day's edition,but maybe there's something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning. All of that has led to a small experiment.In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed,I decided to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast.Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my e-mail inbox,it's been an easy decision to keep. Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer's Almanac,a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country.Each day's edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries,along with a short poem that Keillor recites.Fans can also have the text of each program e-mailed to them every day,along with a link to the broadcast recording. The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature,called "Poem-a-Day" Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006,Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously published poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends. Since subscribing to both services last April,I've enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin,giving me a brief 高二英语第3页（共8页） taste of literature even on busy days.Last April,I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning.Now,deep in summer,I wonder if I could ever do without it. 24.What does the underlined word "undermine"in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Expand steadily. B.Criticize publicly. C.Replace completely. D.Weaken gradually. 25.Why did the author start the experiment of reading a poem a day? A.To enrich his breakfast time with literature. B.To keep poetry a regular part of his daily life. C.To prove that digital poetry services work well. D.To find a better way to improve his reading skills 26.What can be inferred about the two poetry services? A.They both have a broadcast version. B.They both feature only contemporary poets. C.They both started during National Poetry Month. D.They both deliver poems to e-mail inboxes daily. 27.What does the last paragraph reveal about the author? A.It has taken years for him to love literature. B.He is wondering how to continue his conduct. C.He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D.It has benefited him a lot as a newspaperman. Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson's disease,and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways,a new study shows. "It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans（扫描)，”says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study."These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey.Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods." The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson's disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson's program at Canada's National Ballet School,along with family members or caregivers.Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months,progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more.The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG),a brain region linked to depression.They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表)and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class,reported depression rates dropped,and the effect was increasing from class to class,with significant improvements after 8 months."We showed that SCG's BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent)signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,"says DeSouza."Parkinson's disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状)appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit,with music activating the brain's reward centers,and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits.DeSouza,dancing with participants for 14 years,says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson's disease by itself,the benefits are clear."We're not trying to cure it with dance,"he says."What we're trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life.This goes for both the patients,and their families that take care of them. 高二英语第4页（共8页) 28.How did the researchers conduct the study? A.By referring to previous studies. B.By making pre-post comparisons. C.By conducting drug experiments D.By employing computer modeling. 29.What does the decrease of SCG's BOLD signal mean? A.Patients'depression was relieved. B.Motor symptoms got much worse. C.Brain activity became totally abnormal. D.Patients needed more medical treatment. 30.According to the last paragraph,what is the purpose of dancing for Parkinson's patients? A.To teach them dance skills B.To improve their life quality C.To cure Parkinson's disease. D.To activate all the brain regions. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.Dancing Away Parkinson's Blues B.Dancing With Your Mood Circuits C.Dancing:Multiple Benefits to Be Seen D.Dancing:A Journey to Mental Well-Being D Amsterdam is testing a "bubble barrier"to help remove plastic from the city's waterways. The project is called the Great Bubble Barrier.The system aims to capture waste beneath the surface of the water.The city launched the effort in November.The non-profit group supporting the project hopes it can be used in other places if successful. Francis Zoet,the technical director of the project,said,"A bubble barrier is basically a tube that we place on the bottom of the river or canal,that has holes in it and we press air through it;that creates a bubble curtain.”The tube lies diagonally（f斜对地)across the canal. The bubbles work with the flow of water in the canal to float the waste and then move it into a collector on the side.They don't intervene with passing boats.They also don't cause a major problem for fish or birds. Amsterdam already has four boats that collect about 42,000 kilogrammes of plastic a year. But the boats can only pick up the waste on the surface.They miss some smaller pieces altogether. Roy Leysner is with Waternet,part of the local water authority that is paying for the project with the City of Amsterdam.He said,"Every piece of plastic which falls into the water in the canals is eventually flowing out to the North Sea.We want to prevent that.It is estimated that rivers carry up to 4 million metric tons of plastic into the world's oceans each year. Another Dutch group has also launched a system to collect surface-level river waste using floating barriers.Francis Zoet of the Amsterdam project said the two ideas work well together. She said,"We support basically every initiative that is focused on reducing the plastic soup." 32.How does the bubble barrier differ from traditional waste-collecting boats? A.It targets waste beneath the water. B.It mainly relies on human labor. C.It stops all plastic flowing into the sea. D.It focuses on the removal of large plastics. 33.What do the bubbles do by working with water flow? A.Guide waste into a prepared collector. B.Use diagonal tubes to block boat traffic. C.Float waste for traditional boats to collect. D.Create a curtain to trap waste by the canal wall. 高二英语第5页（共8页)】 34.What's the purpose of paragraph 5? A.To show sea pollution is serious. B.To support developing bubble barrier. C.To compare different waste-collecting ways. D.To describe the city's daily water management. 35.What is Francis Zoet's attitude towards the other Dutch plastic collection project? A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring. C.Supportive. D.Critical. 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。 Life is full of unexpected setbacks and tough moments.No one can avoid facing hardship throughout their journey.36 It may leave you feeling lost,exhausted and ready to give up. Yet adversity is never a dead end,but a chance for self-growth. One of the best ways to deal with hard times is to accept reality bravely.Many people waste energy complaining or refusing to admit what has happened,which only traps them in sadness and stops them from moving forward.Instead,we should choose to face reality calmly. Acceptance doesn't mean giving in.37 38 When your mind is filled with negative thoughts,take time to do small joyful things:take a walk,listen to soft music or keep a diary.These simple acts can ease stress and clear your mind.They help you regain emotional balance step by step. It is also wise to reflect on your experiences after going through difficulties.Every failure and hardship carries valuable lessons.39 By learning from the past,you can become more resilient and better prepared for future challenges. Never rush to blame yourself when things go wrong.Adversity is part of life,not a sign of your weakness.40 With patience and a positive mindset,you will finally walk out of the dark and become a stronger version of yourself. A.You can always find joy in little daily things. B.Staying positive emotionally also matters a lot. C.Facing endless trouble is never easy for anyone. D.It matters how we choose to respond to difficulties. E.It means you calm down to face the problem wisely. F.You have the inner strength to fight through hard days. G.Reflection turns painful experiences into precious wealth. 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Since age 4,Santangelo has been crazy about soccer.Growing up in a(n)41 household,Santangelo has worn her sports shoes for as long as she can remember.She describes herself as an uplifting,reliable,and 42 soul.

Ten minutes later,when Michaela went back to check on her cushion,she froze in her tracks.There,lying nervously on the warm fabric that had fallen off the clothesline,was a skinny stray (cat.Its fur was matted and dirty,mixed with bits of snow and mud,and its body was shaking slightly,as if it could barely stand the bitter cold.The cat's eyes,big and yellowish-brown,looked up at her cautiously,filled with fear and helplessness,as if begging her not to drive it away.Michaela stood there,conflicted.On one hand,the cushion was her favorite-she had bought it with her pocket money and it was the only thing that kept her warm on cold winter nights.On the other hand,looking at the poor cat shaking in the wind,she couldn't bear to be cruel.The wind blew harder,lifting the edge of the cushion and exposing the cat's thin body. Michaela sighed softly.Her heart softened at the sight of the little creature struggling to survive in the bitter winter.She thought about how lonely and terrified the cat must be, wandering alone in the freezing cold without a warm place to stay or food to eat.Guilt filled her heart as she remembered her hesitation just now -how could she care more about a cushion than a living creature's life?She determined to do something to help the poor cat,even if it meant giving up her favorite cushion. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She walked back into the house,determined to build an outdoor cat shelter.
