B For years, the 3:00 PM school pickup was not a joyful reunion, but a constant exercise in emotional strength. It was a routine of small hopes quietly disappearing. Every single day, as my 11-year-old son, Leo, buckled his seat-belt, I would offer the same cheerful, practiced query: “How was your day?” And every single day, for years, the response was a carbon copy: “Fine, fine.” It was always delivered to the dashboard, to the window, to anywhere but me. No eye contact. No change in his voice. His autism (自闭症) created a sort of glass wall between us. Through it, I could see my boy, but I could never quite feel him reach back. The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy. I had quietly begun to accept that this silent barrier was simply our forever. But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?” He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it. Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?” The world seemed to stop spinning. The simple question — that tiny bridge he had built all on his own from his world to mine — was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It wasn’t just words; it was the answer to years of unseen patience My breath caught, and tears, hot and uncontrollable, streamed down my face. I gave him the only truth I had, “It’s really good, Leo.” I said, my voice cracking. “It’s the best day ever.” 4. Why did the mother keep asking her son the same question for years? A. She tried to cheer her son up. B. She enjoyed their daily routine. C. She longed for a real interaction. D. She felt sorry for her son’s condition. 5. What does the underlined word “apathy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Lack of interest. B. Loss of memory. C. Sign of respect. D. Sense of peace. 6. What made the spring afternoon unusual for the mother? A. Leo buckled his seat-belt himself. B. Leo showed active concern for her. C. Leo caught sight of her sudden tears. D. Leo listened to her with great patience. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Clear Eyes, Full Heart B. Talk More, Love Better C. The Answer to Education D. A Reward of Patience C Grief can bring waves of heartache but for most people those feelings gradually fade. For some, they don’t. The loss remains intense, persistent, and difficult to handle in daily life. This condition, known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD), was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) in 2022. “There’s something blocking their ability to finally say ‘I have to accept this,’” says Katherine Shear, director of the Center for Prolonged Grief at Columbia University. Researchers are now beginning to understand why PGD may involve breakdowns in the brain systems that govern attachment and reward, according to a 2026 study published in Trends in Neurosciences. In people with prolonged grief those systems may continue to signal that the lost loved one is still expected, creating conflict between memory and reality. PGD is a “long-term, intense painful reaction to loss”, says Holly Prigerson at Weill Cornell Medicine. Individuals remain “stuck”, marked by persistent yearning and not accepting the reality of the loss. Grief is considered PGD when symptoms last longer than 12 months. How does it affect the brain? Regions involved in reward and motivation appear to remain active. “People with severe grief are still expecting the existence of what is gone, making it harder for the brain to update and accept the loss,” says Shear. Research published in 2020 also found that PGD involves different activity patterns in the amygdala (大脑杏仁核). PGD can lead to a higher risk of death. One explanation is that prolonged grief keeps the body in a lasting stress response. High levels of cortisol can hurt the heart system and interfere with immune function. The most common treatment is Prolonged Grief Therapy. “The treatment focuses on helping people accept the reality of the loss and restore their capacity for well-being, but formal recognition of PGD is crucial, as it ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for those stuck in this disabling experience.” Shear explains. 8. What is PGD according to the text? A. Grief that can’t be treated. B. Grief that brings heartaches. C. Grief that comes from great loss. D. Grief that doesn’t ease with time. 9. What does the study published in 2026 mainly focus on? A. Who PGD affects. B. What PGD brings. C. How PGD works. D. Why PGD spreads. 10. How does PGD affect humans according to Katherine Shear? A. It disturbs brain functions. B. It reduces memory activity. C. It weakens the immune system. D. It shortens people’s lifetime. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Official identification of PGD leads to better medical help. B. Well-being can be recovered with short-term PGD therapy. C. Reality acceptance of the loss is the main goal of curing PGD. D. Recognition of PGD largely relies on patients’ self-awareness. D On warm summer nights when we were young, many of us enjoyed the pleasure of chasing tiny, flickering lights in the dark — magical little sparks that turn ordinary grasslands into secret, glowing (发光的) worlds. These are glow-worms. Yet today, across Europe, these creatures are becoming increasingly difficult to find. So severe is their decline that several species are now listed as threatened. Few people understand this change better than the volunteers who have spent years counting these insects. In one small English village, for example, local naturalists used to record more than 200 glow-worms in a single season. In recent years, however, the number has fallen to fewer than 50. Similar trends have been reported in France, Germany and Spain, suggesting that creatures long taken for granted are quietly slipping toward disappearance. Several reasons lie behind this decline. Hotter and drier summers reduce the small soft-bodied animals that young glow-worms rely on for food. At the same time, grasslands are replaced by roads and buildings, breaking natural habitats into isolated pieces. Because female glow-worms of some species cannot fly, even a narrow ditch or a newly built path can cut off their access to suitable areas. Most harmful of all, however, is man-made light. Street lamps often drown out the females’ faint green glow, drawing males away and harming the insects’ already weak breeding (繁殖) system. Still, the story is not entirely one of loss. In Italy, a professor who reduced lighting in his garden and let plants grow naturally soon saw the tiny green lights return. In Britain, an ecologist has begun raising glow-worms indoors, hoping to reintroduce them to places where they once lived. Such efforts demand patience — glow-worms take two years to mature — but they offer a possible path toward recovery. Yet scientists warn that reintroduction alone is no cure. Unless the original causes of decline are addressed, new populations will face the same fate. Protecting dark skies, reconnecting green spaces, and reshaping public attitudes may prove just as important as breeding insects in labs. For many conservationists, if concern for nature must begin with a creature that glows softly in the grass, then that is a beginning worth making. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing a personal experience. B. By presenting a shared memory. C. By referring to a previous study. D. By showing a public concern. 13. What contributes most to the loss of glow-worms? A. Damaged habitat. B. Extreme weather. C. Slow growth cycle. D. Artificial light. 14. Why are a professor and an ecologist mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To highlight individual conservation efforts. B. To stress the urgent need for global cooperation. C. To illustrate the challenges of breeding insects in labs. D. To show the difficulty in restoring glow-worm populations. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. The Crisis in Our Backyards B. The Methods of Saving Glowing Insects C. Is Light Pollution a Silent Threat? D. Are Glow-Worms a Past Scene? 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。 You know how your expectations as a host might be quite different from those as a guest? Throw in different social classes, languages and cultures, and you have a heady mix of anxiety the first time you dine with a new friend. I appreciate the approach offered by my Swiss family: ____16____ None of this after-dinner entertainment stuff. Guests are guests and seldom lift a finger to help. ____17____ For example, the humble potluck. Everyone brings a dish, and most hosts have a rough organisational system worked out. ____18____ This way you won’t end up with five cakes and an apple pie. Given dietary restrictions, food allergies and preferences, some planning in advance is always good. Case in point: my daughter is deathly allergic to peanuts, soya and garlic. One bite of kung pao chicken could kill her, so we prepare a variety of options. My Chinese friends were a bit confused by the concept of a potluck, particularly as I usually ask them to bring something simple like pao cai. When I first started holding potlucks, they wondered when the meal would be served and why people were standing over the table, helping themselves to different food, and wandering around, plate in hand. ____19____ Now my friends are accustomed to this. At a Swiss dinner, when it’s over, it’s over and everyone leaves. ____20____ They may wait until they have enough food digested to go back for a second helping of any dish they missed. A. Eat, then leave. B. But potlucks tend to let people stay and relax. C. Such a dining culture was totally new to them. D. But Chinese guests seldom stay to help clean the table. E. In this system, guests and hosts decide who brings what. F. Similarly, my American friends also enjoy the same basic guest rule. G. However, my American friends have different customs and dining habits. 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。 Last summer, I was watering a tomato planter (花盆) when I spotted them — a bunch of newborn rabbits. Five tiny bodies gathered closely, ___21___ of the world around them. For two weeks, I watched them from a distance. At first, they stayed hidden under large leaves, their mother ___22___ occasionally. She was always ___23___, watching from the edge of the yard, a frozen figure at dusk. She never approached while I was there, but her ___24___ was a constant, staring weight. One day, a rabbit was standing on the planter’s edge, unsure whether to jump or not. ___25___, one by one, the rabbits leapt from the planter. Some ___26___ smoothly, while others fell. The last one ___27___ the longest, shaking slightly at the edge. I silently urged it on. You can do it! Then, it did. Watching them, I realized how much we like to believe life is built on ___28___ and control. Yet many of the experiences that shape us are leaps into the ___29___. When I was younger, I thought courage meant being fearless. Now I know it means being afraid and ___30___ anyway. The rabbits did not leap because they felt safe. They leapt because staying put was not a/an ___31___. Growth requires ___32___. The leap is often where a new life ___33___. We all live on the edge of our own planters. When the moment comes, I hope I remember that fear is not always a signal to ___34___, but a sign that you are standing on the edge of something worth ___35___. 21. A. unsure B. unaware C. fond D. tired 22. A. relaxing B. following C. appearing D. leaping 23. A. impatient B. careful C. curious D. ready 24. A. presence B. guidance C. silence D. defence 25. A.

A. excuse B. problem C. mistake D. option 32. A. motion B. passion C. stimulation D. dedication 33. A. lasts B. evolves C. begins D. exists 34. A. fail B. adapt C. withdraw D. reflect 35. A. staring at B. waiting for C. relying on D. stepping into 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The most common structural method found in ancient wooden architecture in China is the mortise and tenon joint, or sǔn mǎo in Chinese, ____36____ (extensive) employed in buildings, furniture, and various other wooden components.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 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。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2026届高三春期第二次模拟考试 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy. I had quietly begun to accept that this silent barrier was simply our forever. But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?” He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it. Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?” The world seemed to stop spinning. The simple question — that tiny bridge he had built all on his own from his world to mine — was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It wasn’t just words; it was the answer to years of unseen patience My breath caught, and tears, hot and uncontrollable, streamed down my face. I gave him the only truth I had, “It’s really good, Leo.” I said, my voice cracking. “It’s the best day ever.” 4. Why did the mother keep asking her son the same question for years? A. She tried to cheer her son up. B. She enjoyed their daily routine. C. She longed for a real interaction. D. She felt sorry for her son’s condition. 5. What does the underlined word “apathy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Lack of interest. B. Loss of memory. C. Sign of respect. D. Sense of peace. 6. What made the spring afternoon unusual for the mother? A. Leo buckled his seat-belt himself. B. Leo showed active concern for her. C. Leo caught sight of her sudden tears. D. Leo listened to her with great patience. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Clear Eyes, Full Heart B. Talk More, Love Better C. The Answer to Education D. A Reward of Patience 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述一位母亲多年来每天下午3点接患有自闭症的儿子放学，每次问儿子“今天过得怎么样”，得到的都是冷漠回应，母子间仿佛隔着玻璃墙。但在一个早春下午，儿子不仅回答“很好”，还主动询问母亲的一天，这一转变让母亲感受到多年耐心付出得到回报，体现了亲情与耐心的力量。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy.(其他父母似乎不假思索就能享受的轻松、简单的交流对我来说就像一场梦。我感觉自己多年的爱都倾注到了一个空洞里，我不断的努力得到的却是平静却令人心碎的冷漠回应)”可知，母亲多年来一直问儿子同一个问题，是渴望与儿子有真正的互动交流。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy.(我感觉自己多年的深情都倾注在了一片虚无之中，我日复一日的付出，换来的是一种平静却令人心碎的apathy)”可知，母亲多年付出爱却好像倾注到空洞里，得到令人心碎的回应，结合前文儿子每次冷漠回应，不与母亲眼神交流等，可推测“apathy”意思为“缺乏兴趣，冷漠”。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?”(但那个初春的午后有些不一样。我问出了那句熟悉的话，本不抱有任何期待。“利奥，你今天过得怎么样？”)”以及第四段“He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it.(他系上安全带。“挺好，挺好。” 他说道。 这次回答和往常不一样，但我几乎来不及反应过来)”并结合第五段“Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?”(随后，他转过身。仿佛时隔漫长岁月，利奥第一次直视着我。他的眼神清澈、专注，真切地看着我。 “妈妈，你今天过得怎么样？”)”可知，以往儿子对母亲的询问冷漠回应，而这个早春下午，儿子不仅改变回答，还主动问母亲“你今天过得怎么样，妈妈？”，这种主动对母亲的关心让这个下午变得不同寻常。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。主要讲述一位母亲多年来每天下午3点接患有自闭症的儿子放学，每次问儿子“今天过得怎么样”，得到的都是冷漠回应，母子间仿佛隔着玻璃墙。但在一个早春下午，儿子不仅回答“很好”，还主动询问母亲的一天，这一转变让母亲感受到多年耐心付出得到回报，体现了亲情与耐心的力量。所以D选项“A Reward of Patience”(耐心的回报)最适合作为文章标题。 C Grief can bring waves of heartache but for most people those feelings gradually fade. For some, they don’t. The loss remains intense, persistent, and difficult to handle in daily life. This condition, known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD), was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) in 2022. “There’s something blocking their ability to finally say ‘I have to accept this,’” says Katherine Shear, director of the Center for Prolonged Grief at Columbia University. Researchers are now beginning to understand why PGD may involve breakdowns in the brain systems that govern attachment and reward, according to a 2026 study published in Trends in Neurosciences. In people with prolonged grief those systems may continue to signal that the lost loved one is still expected, creating conflict between memory and reality. PGD is a “long-term, intense painful reaction to loss”, says Holly Prigerson at Weill Cornell Medicine. Individuals remain “stuck”, marked by persistent yearning and not accepting the reality of the loss. Grief is considered PGD when symptoms last longer than 12 months. How does it affect the brain? Regions involved in reward and motivation appear to remain active. “People with severe grief are still expecting the existence of what is gone, making it harder for the brain to update and accept the loss,” says Shear. Research published in 2020 also found that PGD involves different activity patterns in the amygdala (大脑杏仁核). PGD can lead to a higher risk of death. One explanation is that prolonged grief keeps the body in a lasting stress response. High levels of cortisol can hurt the heart system and interfere with immune function. The most common treatment is Prolonged Grief Therapy. “The treatment focuses on helping people accept the reality of the loss and restore their capacity for well-being, but formal recognition of PGD is crucial, as it ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for those stuck in this disabling experience.” Shear explains. 8. What is PGD according to the text? A. Grief that can’t be treated. B. Grief that brings heartaches. C. Grief that comes from great loss. D. Grief that doesn’t ease with time. 9. What does the study published in 2026 mainly focus on? A. Who PGD affects. B. What PGD brings. C. How PGD works. D. Why PGD spreads. 10. How does PGD affect humans according to Katherine Shear? A. It disturbs brain functions. B. It reduces memory activity. C. It weakens the immune system. D. It shortens people’s lifetime. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Official identification of PGD leads to better medical help. B. Well-being can be recovered with short-term PGD therapy. C. Reality acceptance of the loss is the main goal of curing PGD. D. Recognition of PGD largely relies on patients’ self-awareness. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了持续性哀伤障碍（PGD）的定义、大脑发病机制、对人体产生的危害以及对应的主流治疗方式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Grief can bring waves of heartache but for most people those feelings gradually fade. For some, they don’t. The loss remains intense, persistent, and difficult to handle in daily life. This condition, known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD), was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) in 2022. (悲伤会带来阵阵心痛，但大多数人的情绪会慢慢消退。一部分人却不会，失落感强烈持久，难以应对日常生活。这种名为持续性哀伤障碍（PGD）的病症，于2022年被纳入《精神疾病诊断与统计手册（第五版）》（DSM-5）。)”可知，PGD是不会随着时间缓解的悲伤。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers are now beginning to understand why PGD may involve breakdowns in the brain systems that govern attachment and reward, according to a 2026 study published in Trends in Neurosciences. (据2026年发表在《神经科学趋势》期刊上的一项研究显示，研究人员如今开始探明持续性哀伤障碍为何会造成人体负责依恋与奖赏机制的大脑系统出现功能紊乱。)”可知，这项研究主要探究PGD的运作原理、发病机制。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘People with severe grief are still expecting the existence of what is gone, making it harder for the brain to update and accept the loss,’ says Shear. (Shear说：‘重度哀伤人群仍期盼逝去之人还在，致使大脑难以更新认知、接受离别事实。’)”可知，PGD会扰乱大脑机能。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘The treatment focuses on helping people accept the reality of the loss and restore their capacity for well-being, but formal recognition of PGD is crucial, as it ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for those stuck in this disabling experience.’ Shear explains. (Shear解释道：‘该疗法重在帮助人们正视亲人离世的现实，重拾身心健康的能力；而对持续性哀伤障碍进行官方正式认定尤为关键，这能为深陷这种身心困境的人群提供精准诊断与有效治疗。’)”可知，PGD获得官方认定能够带来更优质的医疗帮扶。 D On warm summer nights when we were young, many of us enjoyed the pleasure of chasing tiny, flickering lights in the dark — magical little sparks that turn ordinary grasslands into secret, glowing (发光的) worlds. These are glow-worms. Yet today, across Europe, these creatures are becoming increasingly difficult to find. So severe is their decline that several species are now listed as threatened. Few people understand this change better than the volunteers who have spent years counting these insects. In one small English village, for example, local naturalists used to record more than 200 glow-worms in a single season. In recent years, however, the number has fallen to fewer than 50. Similar trends have been reported in France, Germany and Spain, suggesting that creatures long taken for granted are quietly slipping toward disappearance. Several reasons lie behind this decline. Hotter and drier summers reduce the small soft-bodied animals that young glow-worms rely on for food. At the same time, grasslands are replaced by roads and buildings, breaking natural habitats into isolated pieces. Because female glow-worms of some species cannot fly, even a narrow ditch or a newly built path can cut off their access to suitable areas. Most harmful of all, however, is man-made light. Street lamps often drown out the females’ faint green glow, drawing males away and harming the insects’ already weak breeding (繁殖) system. Still, the story is not entirely one of loss. In Italy, a professor who reduced lighting in his garden and let plants grow naturally soon saw the tiny green lights return. In Britain, an ecologist has begun raising glow-worms indoors, hoping to reintroduce them to places where they once lived. Such efforts demand patience — glow-worms take two years to mature — but they offer a possible path toward recovery. Yet scientists warn that reintroduction alone is no cure. Unless the original causes of decline are addressed, new populations will face the same fate. Protecting dark skies, reconnecting green spaces, and reshaping public attitudes may prove just as important as breeding insects in labs. For many conservationists, if concern for nature must begin with a creature that glows softly in the grass, then that is a beginning worth making. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing a personal experience. B. By presenting a shared memory. C. By referring to a previous study. D. By showing a public concern. 13. What contributes most to the loss of glow-worms? A. Damaged habitat. B. Extreme weather. C. Slow growth cycle. D. Artificial light. 14. Why are a professor and an ecologist mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To highlight individual conservation efforts. B. To stress the urgent need for global cooperation. C. To illustrate the challenges of breeding insects in labs. D. To show the difficulty in restoring glow-worm populations. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. The Crisis in Our Backyards B. The Methods of Saving Glowing Insects C. Is Light Pollution a Silent Threat? D. Are Glow-Worms a Past Scene? 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了萤火虫数量减少的原因及保护萤火虫的措施。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“On warm summer nights when we were young, many of us enjoyed the pleasure of chasing tiny, flickering lights in the dark — magical little sparks that turn ordinary grasslands into secret, glowing (发光的) worlds. These are glow-worms.(在温暖的夏夜，当我们年轻的时候，我们中的许多人都喜欢在黑暗中追逐微小闪烁的灯光——这种神奇的小火花将普通的草地变成了神秘的发光世界。这些是萤火虫。)”可知，作者通过描述一段共同的回忆来引出萤火虫这一话题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Several reasons lie behind this decline.(数量减少背后有多重原因。)”、“Most harmful of all, however, is man-made light.(然而，最有害的是人造光。)”可知，对萤火虫数量减少影响最大的是人造光。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In Italy, a professor who reduced lighting in his garden and let plants grow naturally soon saw the tiny green lights return. In Britain, an ecologist has begun raising glow-worms indoors, hoping to reintroduce them to places where they once lived.(在意大利，一位教授减少了花园里的灯光，让植物自然生长，很快他就看到了微小的绿光回来了。在英国，一位生态学家已经开始在室内饲养萤火虫，希望将它们重新引入曾经生活过的地方。)”可知，提到一位教授和一位生态学家是为了突出个人在保护萤火虫方面所做的努力。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Yet today, across Europe, these creatures are becoming increasingly difficult to find. So severe is their decline that several species are now listed as threatened.(然而，如今在整个欧洲，这些生物越来越难找到。它们的数量下降如此严重，以至于有几个物种现在被列为濒危物种。)”以及最后一段中“For many conservationists, if concern for nature must begin with a creature that glows softly in the grass, then that is a beginning worth making.(对于许多环保主义者来说，如果对自然的关注必须从一种在草丛中柔和发光的生物开始，那么这是一个值得开始的开始。)”可知，文章主要讲述了萤火虫数量减少的原因及保护萤火虫的措施，因此D项“Are Glow-Worms a Past Scene?(萤火虫是过去的景象吗？)”适合作为本文标题。故选D。 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。 You know how your expectations as a host might be quite different from those as a guest? Throw in different social classes, languages and cultures, and you have a heady mix of anxiety the first time you dine with a new friend. I appreciate the approach offered by my Swiss family: ____16____ None of this after-dinner entertainment stuff. Guests are guests and seldom lift a finger to help. ____17____ For example, the humble potluck. Everyone brings a dish, and most hosts have a rough organisational system worked out. ____18____ This way you won’t end up with five cakes and an apple pie. Given dietary restrictions, food allergies and preferences, some planning in advance is always good. Case in point: my daughter is deathly allergic to peanuts, soya and garlic. One bite of kung pao chicken could kill her, so we prepare a variety of options. My Chinese friends were a bit confused by the concept of a potluck, particularly as I usually ask them to bring something simple like pao cai. When I first started holding potlucks, they wondered when the meal would be served and why people were standing over the table, helping themselves to different food, and wandering around, plate in hand. ____19____ Now my friends are accustomed to this. At a Swiss dinner, when it’s over, it’s over and everyone leaves. ____20____ They may wait until they have enough food digested to go back for a second helping of any dish they missed. A. Eat, then leave. B. But potlucks tend to let people stay and relax. C. Such a dining culture was totally new to them. D. But Chinese guests seldom stay to help clean the table. E. In this system, guests and hosts decide who brings what. F. Similarly, my American friends also enjoy the same basic guest rule. G. However, my American friends have different customs and dining habits. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要对比了瑞士、美国、中国不同的做客待客饮食习俗，着重介绍了自带菜品聚餐（百乐餐）的用餐模式与文化差异。 【16题详解】 由上文“I appreciate the approach offered by my Swiss family:(我十分认同瑞士家庭的这种待客方式：)”及下文“None of this after-dinner entertainment stuff. Guests are guests and seldom lift a finger to help.(没有餐后娱乐活动，客人只做客人，几乎不会动手帮忙)”可知，此处介绍瑞士家庭待客的核心方式，A选项“Eat, then leave.(用餐完毕，随即离开)”能承上启下，介绍瑞士饭后不逗留、客人不帮忙收拾的习俗，符合语境。 【17题详解】 由下文“For example, the humble potluck. Everyone brings a dish, and most hosts have a rough organisational system worked out.(例如简约的百乐餐，每个人自带一道菜，大多数主人会制定粗略的安排方案)”可知，本段转向介绍美国聚餐模式，G选项“However, my American friends have different customs and dining habits.(然而，我的美国朋友有着不一样的风俗与用餐习惯。)”引出下文百乐餐例子，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。 【18题详解】 由上文“Everyone brings a dish, and most hosts have a rough organisational system worked out.(每个人自带一道菜，大多数主人会制定粗略的安排方案)”以及下文“This way you won’t end up with five cakes and an apple pie.(这样就不会出现五块蛋糕搭配一个苹果派的情况)”可知，空格处说明这套安排方案的具体内容，E选项“In this system, guests and hosts decide who brings what.(在这套方案里，主人和客人商议各自携带什么菜品)”承接上文体系，呼应下文合理搭配菜品的结果，符合语境。 【19题详解】 由上文“When I first started holding potlucks, they wondered when the meal would be served and why people were standing over the table, helping themselves to different food, and wandering around, plate in hand.(我第一次举办百乐餐时，我的中国朋友疑惑开饭时间，不解为何大家围着餐桌自取食物、端着餐盘四处走动)”以及下文“Now my friends are accustomed to this.(如今我的朋友们已经习惯这种模式了)”可知，此处体现这种聚餐方式对中国朋友而言十分陌生，C选项“Such a dining culture was totally new to them.(这样的用餐文化对他们来说全然陌生)”承接前文朋友们的疑惑，与后文习惯这种模式形成对比，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由上文“At a Swiss dinner, when it’s over, it’s over and everyone leaves.(瑞士聚餐一旦结束，众人便会离场)”以及下文“They may wait until they have enough food digested to go back for a second helping of any dish they missed.(他们会等到食物消化一会儿，再去取用之前没吃到的菜品)”可知，此处转折说明美国百乐餐饭后不会立刻离场，B选项“But potlucks tend to let people stay and relax.(但百乐餐模式下人们会留下来放松闲谈)”和瑞士饭后即刻离开形成鲜明对比，衔接后文逗留加餐的行为，符合语境。 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。 Last summer, I was watering a tomato planter (花盆) when I spotted them — a bunch of newborn rabbits.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 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。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部，需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感，设计了一款提醒类App，最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我坐在书桌前，笔记本打开着，思绪在脑海中飞速运转，脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知，第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”，并描写设计过程和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知，第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式，最后描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：明确设计理念，专为老人设计的一款“提醒App”—— 设计过程和决心 ——向Ms. Davis展示项目并获得认可 ——向Mrs. Thompson演示App的使用方法 —— 感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决心做：decide to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do ②测试、检验：test/check/examine ③专注于：focus on/share/concentrate on ④称赞：praise/think highly of/speak highly of 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful ②亲切的：kind/ genial 【点睛】[高分句型1].
