Well, a blind person puts on the glasses and looks at something. For example, this pen. First, the video camera in the glasses takes a picture of the pen, then the camera sends the picture to the computer ship in the person's eyes, and then the person can see the pen exactly. This whole process happens very quickly. of course. Wow, with the help of this tool, can a blind person be able to see as well as a Normal one? No, they won't have perfect vision, but they will be able to see many things. This tool is still new, but for many of the people in our study, it's changed their lives.

Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees. Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing (培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species’ connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty. Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s “ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the “community builders” who seek to bring people together. Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor’ illustrations — she gives Us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms. After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?” she writes. “Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.” 24. What does the underlined word “curation” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation, 25. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead. C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds. 26. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees? A. It inspires new ideas. B. It rarely happens in public. C. It allows deep emotional sharing. D. It helps resolve environmental issues. 27. What does the writer think of the book? A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自然主义作家艾米·斯图尔特的作品The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession，该书描绘了50位因对树木的热爱而改变的人物。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段“Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects.(起初，斯图尔特觉得收集树木很奇怪。被这个爱好者群体所吸引，她发现了教育工作者、保护主义者和梦想家，他们都被这一种 所吸引，其动机与他们的项目不同)”可知，这里curation应指前一句中所提及的收集，所以猜测curation表“收集”的意思。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“‘Healer’ Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the ‘community builders’ who seek to bring people together.(‘治疗师’乔·汉密尔顿在他从被奴役的祖先那里获得的一块土地上种植火炬松，着眼于长期可持续的林业，他希望这将为他的家庭建立一代人的财富来源。Reagan Wytsalucy计划恢复纳瓦霍土地上的传统桃园，作为寻求将人们聚集在一起的‘社区建设者’之一)”可知，第3段提到植树是可以加强社会联系的。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“‘How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?’ she writes. ‘’Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.’(她写道：‘我们中有多少人有机会向陌生人倾诉心声？不知何故，和树聊天可以使这成为可能。’)”可知，和树聊天可允许人们进行深度的情感分享。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. (在这个多样化的联邦度过一段时间后，你无疑会强烈渴望在绿树成荫的橡树下休息。但这里正在发生更深层次的事情：为人们创造一个谈论他们喜欢的事情的空间)”以及上下文可知，作者认为这本书鼓舞人心，会让读者爱上树以及向往书里的生活。故选C项。 C From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm. The reason is rising childhood obesity (肥胖). Our exclusive report last week highlighted doctors’ calls for routine blood pressure testing in children, emphasizing the dangers of obesity and the case for preventing it. The longer-term trend, both nationally and internationally, is widely recognised as alarming. Since the UK’s child measurement programme began 20 years ago, obesity rates among primary-age children in England have climbed from 17.5% to 22.1%. Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones. The resulting health risks — type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases — add to the hardships of the disadvantaged. This concentration of harm is a key reason to welcome the advertising restrictions. Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects. Children often lack the knowledge and maturity to navigate decisions about fat, sugar, and salt intake. For the UK government, narrowing the gaps that restrict the life chances of disadvantaged children must always be a priority. Public debate on obesity has increasingly focused on new weight-loss drugs, yet in the UK, these are available only to a small group of severely obese children. This highlights the need to prioritize prevention and public health initiatives around food, as a healthy lifestyle involves exercise and nutrition, not just body weight. Charities like Sustain have criticized the concessions (让步) made to industry giants, such as allowing brand advertising as long as specific junk foods are not displayed. Their caution is justified: last year saw record snack food sales, and billboard advertising — less controlled by rules — has rocketed. But while the new rules will not end childhood obesity and should have been in place sooner, as with other half measures, they are much better than none at all. 28. What is the main purpose of the new UK rules? A. To shelter children from obesity risks. B. To encourage people to break bad habits. C. To limit junk food sales to evenings. D. To enforce blood pressure testing in schools. 29. Why does the author mention gambling and smoking in paragraph 3? A. To explain the causes of poverty. B. To show they are addictive. C. To stress junk foods’ harm to the poor. D. To list common bad habits for children. 30. What is the author’s attitude toward the new advertising restrictions? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Carefree. D. Conservative. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Childhood Obesity: The Growing Crisis B. Health Inequality: The Widening Divide C. Stricter Regulations: The Call for Action D. Tackling Obesity: UK’s New Ad Rules 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国出台严控垃圾食品广告的新规，旨在应对儿童肥胖问题，作者对此表示支持，同时指出规则仍有不足。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. (从本周起，英国出台严格规定保护儿童免受垃圾食品广告影响。)”以及第二段“The reason is rising childhood obesity (肥胖). (原因是儿童肥胖率不断上升。)”可知，新规目的是保护儿童远离肥胖风险。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones. The resulting health risks — type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases — add to the hardships of the disadvantaged. This concentration of harm is a key reason to welcome the advertising restrictions. Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects. (肥胖加剧了社会的不平等现象，贫困地区的肥胖率是富裕地区两倍。由此带来的健康风险——2型糖尿病、中风和心血管疾病——进一步加重了弱势群体的困境。这种危害的集中现象是支持实施广告限制措施的关键原因。与赌博或吸烟一样，不健康加工食品对本就处境艰难的家庭造成的不均衡影响是其最严重的危害之一。)”可知，作者以此强调垃圾食品对穷人危害更大。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But while the new rules will not end childhood obesity and should have been in place sooner, as with other half measures, they are much better than none at all. (尽管新规无法终结儿童肥胖，且本应更早出台，但和其他折中措施一样，有总比没有好。)”可知，作者对新规持支持态度。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. (从本周起，英国出台严格规定保护儿童免受垃圾食品广告影响。)”以及文章内容可知，本文开篇指出英国出台严格规定保护儿童免受垃圾食品广告影响，接着阐述了儿童肥胖现状、危害，以及新规的意义、面临的问题等，整体围绕英国应对肥胖的新广告规定展开，所以“应对肥胖：英国的新广告规定”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D An ant species has evolved a remarkable solution to the danger of excess carbon dioxide inside their nests, which may hold clues to how humans can store greenhouse gases to prevent climate disaster. Fungus-farming (种植真菌) ants collect vegetation to feed cultivated fungi grown inside their colonies. In turn, the fungi serve as their primary food source. The high density of ants and fungi can result in high concentrations of CO₂ inside the nests. In 2020, Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues found that Acromyrmex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour (外壳). The ants do this through a symbiotic (共生的) relationship with Pseudonocardia bacteria, which transform CO₂ into rock using chemical processes that aren’t yet properly understood. Now, the team has discovered that another fungus-farming ant, Sericomymex amabilis, which is found in Central and South America, can do the same thing without symbiotic bacteria, becoming the first known animal to have evolved this ability. Remarkably, the mineral they make is dolomite. Dolomite rocks, such as those in Italy’s Dolomite mountains, normally take millions of years and complex geological processes to form. Yet the ants do this quickly and effortlessly, without high temperatures, says team member Hongjie Li at Zhejiang University in China. Dolomite consists of calcium, magnesium and carbonate. Forming it in the lab is difficult because magnesium doesn’t easily fit into the calcium carbonate structure, which slows down crystal formation, says Currie. To try to overcome this, he says, scientists use high temperatures and pressures. The next phase of the team’s research will try to find out how ants are able to accomplish this. In an effort to counteract global warming, scientists are exploring techniques for converting atmospheric CO2 into carbonate minerals, essentially turning carbon into stone. “These ants are the first animal shown to be engaging in such a process, offering exciting potential as a model for human efforts,” says Currie. 32. What can we learn about the fungus-farming ants’ nest? A. It stays open to outside air. B. It contains a high level of CO₂. C. It is too unstable for ants to survive. D. It provides little room for fungal growth. 33. What makes Sericomymex amabilis different from Acromyrmex echinatior in mineral formation? A. A wider geographic range. B. Involvement of a new fungus. C. A fully understood mechanism. D. Independence from bacterial help. 34. Which word best describes dolomite formation in nature? A. Simple. B. Risky. C. Time-consuming. D. Pressure-dependent. 35. How is the text mainly organized? A. Problem → solutions → outcome. B. Claim → counterclaim → resolution. C. Definition → classification → summary. D. Discovery → explanation → implications. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕真菌种植蚂蚁的独特固碳能力展开，介绍相关科研发现及潜在应用价值。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“The high density of ants and fungi can result in high concentrations of CO₂ inside the nests.(蚂蚁和真菌的高密度会导致巢穴内二氧化碳浓度升高。)”可知，真菌种植蚂蚁的巢穴内二氧化碳含量很高。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In 2020, Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues found that Acromyrmex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour (外壳). The ants do this through a symbiotic (共生的) relationship with Pseudonocardia bacteria (2020年，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的卡梅伦·柯里和他的同事发现，多刺切叶蚁会将碳酸盐生物矿物质融入它们的外壳。这些蚂蚁通过与假诺卡氏菌的共生关系来实现这一点)”以及第四段的句子“Now, the team has discovered that another fungus-farming ant, Sericomymex amabilis, which is found in Central and South America, can do the same thing without symbiotic bacteria (现在，该团队发现另一种生活在中美洲和南美洲的真菌种植蚂蚁——Sericomymex amabilis，无需共生细菌就能做到同样的事情)”可知，Sericomymex amabilis与Acromyrmex echinatior的不同之处在于前者无需细菌帮助就能形成矿物质。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“Dolomite rocks, such as those in Italy’s Dolomite mountains, normally take millions of years and complex geological processes to form. (白云岩，如意大利白云石山脉中的那些岩石，通常需要数百万年和复杂的地质过程才能形成。)”可知，自然形成白云岩非常耗时。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。文章首先介绍真菌种植蚂蚁能将二氧化碳转化为矿物质这一发现，接着解释这一过程的原理和不同蚂蚁的实现方式，最后探讨该发现对人类应对全球变暖的启示，整体结构为“发现→解释→意义”。故选D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。 For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British Commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it. ____36____ Every December 26, going at least as far back as 1833, the United Kingdom and other countries that are part of the British Commonwealth have observed Boxing Day as an opportunity to provide some holiday joy to those who most need it. ____37____ One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class. The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas. ____38____ The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity. The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day. ____39____ It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store. But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day. ____40____ Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t. A. But its original spirit is being forgotten. B. So what exactly is Boxing Day all about? C. There are competing stories behind its name. D. Consider observing your own charitable Boxing Day. E. Their purpose was to collect money from church-goers. F. Celebrate the day by enjoying time with your loved ones. G. However, many argue this isn’t the best way to help the poor. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. E 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍节礼日的设立初衷，两大名称的由来。节日原本意在帮扶弱势群体，如今传统慈善精神渐被消费取代，作者呼吁人们重拾节日慈善本心。 【36题详解】 根据上文“For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it.(对许多人来说，圣诞节是一段充满欢乐与放纵的神奇时光。但对于那些处境艰难或处于不利地位的人们而言，圣诞节却可能是一段充满悲伤与失望的时期。因此，英联邦各国将圣诞节后的这一天定为“节礼日”，其目的是为那些需要帮助的人们带来一丝欢乐)”可知，前文介绍节礼日设立初衷是帮助弱势群体，下文开始具体介绍节礼日。故B选项“那么节礼日究竟是什么呢？”起到承上启下作用。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据后文“One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class.(其一，它指的是“圣诞礼盒”的赠送行为。这个术语起源于17世纪，用于描述圣诞节期间人们送出的礼物、金钱以及其他剩余物品，这些物品是地主们为了感谢仆人和员工在圣诞节期间的辛勤工作而给予他们的。简而言之，圣诞礼盒就是为工人阶级准备的节日奖金)”可知，后文并列介绍两种名称起源说法，C选项“它的名字背后有两种不同说法”总领下文，One引出其中一种说法。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas.(另一种解释是，它指的是在圣诞节前几周通常会在教堂里出现的“施舍箱”)”以及后文“The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity.(这些捐赠物资在圣诞节过后被分发给了那些有需要的人。圣诞节后的第二天也是圣斯蒂芬的纪念日，他是一位以乐善好施行为著称的殉道者)”可知，前文提到教堂里的“救济箱”，后文讲述捐款分给穷人。E选项“它们的作用是收集礼拜者的捐款” 承接“施舍箱”的用途。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day.(在英联邦的许多地区，这一天仍被视为法定假日，而一些人也会在“节礼日”（即“圣诞补休日”）向那些生活贫困的人们伸出援手)”以及后文“It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store.(如今，它更多地与在百货商店进行大规模消费联系在了一起)”可知，前文：如今仍是假日、还有人行善；后文：变成商场大肆消费。A选项“但它最初的精神正在被遗忘”衔接转折关系。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上文“But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day.(但一定要这样吗？实际上，对于这一天，存在着另一种可能的走向)”以及后文“Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t.(就像在经典故事中那样，即便你的钱包没有鼓起来，你的心灵也可能会变得更加充实)”可知，最后一段倡导回归慈善初心，前文：节礼日可以有不一样的过法；后文：心灵变得富足。D选项“试着过一个属于自己的慈善版节礼日”呼应主旨。故选D。 第三部分：语言运用（共三节，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四个选项中选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jerry was an outgoing and sociable boy.

When I got home, Mum saw the poster in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A poster for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed (附和). Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. The roots grow outwards, not downwards — to get enough water and air to support the tree. “You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. Paragraph 1: His words set me thinking. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】His words set me thinking. As I reflected on Mr. Weston’s words, the analogy of pine roots growing out, not down, struck a chord with me deeply. Perhaps I could learn something valuable from stepping beyond my comfort zone, just like the tree’s need to spread its roots to grow tall. Surprisingly, even in the absence of my best friend, the idea of the art camp now seemed so appealing. Fueled by this newfound understanding, I eagerly shared my insights with Mum, who listened attentively as I poured out my thoughts. With her approving nod and encouraging gaze, I felt a surge of determination and confidence to embrace the camp as an opportunity for artistic exploration and growth. The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. As I handed in my registration form, the initial disappointment I felt gradually gave way to a thrilling sense of anticipation, fueled by the countless possibilities awaiting me. Throughout the camp, I immersed myself in interactive workshops, eagerly absorbing new techniques and connecting with fellow art enthusiasts like me. It turned out that the strangers I was initially afraid of were already my friends. From this experience, I realized that embracing unfamiliarity and conquering fears can pave the way for remarkable personal growth and opportunities. The towering pine tree in the Westons’ yard serves as a constant reminder that the strongest growth often springs from venturing into the unknown world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者有绘画天赋，想要参加艺术营，又因为很难像朋友艾米丽一样融入群体而不敢于去参与。作者在画松树的时候遇到了Weston先生，Weston先生的话给了作者启发。作者意识到应该重新评估自己对于生活的态度。作者决定去参加艺术营，在画画的时候专心致志，交到了朋友，也接触了一个全新的世界，展现了一个关于勇敢面对未知、克服恐惧并实现个人成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他的话让我陷入了思考。”以及第二段首句内容“接下来的周一，我报名参加了艺术营。”可知，第一段可描写作者不禁想到自己，自己也需要像树一样走出自己的舒适区才能学到有价值的东西，在妈妈的鼓励下，作者决定去报名。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来的周一，我报名参加了艺术营。”可知，第二段可描写作者在艺术营期间克服了恐惧，融入了群体中。 2.续写线索：他的话让作者陷入了沉思中——想到松树的根是向外生长而不是向下生长，作者不禁想到了自己——自己只有走出舒适区才能学到有价值的东西——于是，作者和妈妈倾诉了自己的想法——妈妈的眼中满是鼓励和自豪——于是，作者报名参加了艺术营——在艺术营期间，作者投入到互动工作坊中，并遇到了一样热爱艺术的同伴——通过这件事，作者克服了自己的恐惧，得到了成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①上交：hand in/submit ②明白：realize/come to know ③克服：conquer/get over 情绪类 ①令人惊讶地：surprisingly/to one’s surprise ②激动的：thrilling/exhilarating 【点睛】【高分句型1】Fueled by this newfound understanding, I eagerly shared my insights with Mum, who listened attentively as I poured out my thoughts.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句和as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】As I handed in my registration form, the initial disappointment I felt gradually gave way to a thrilling sense of anticipation, fueled by the countless possibilities awaiting me.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和省略关系代词的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省海门中学2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试试卷 高二英语 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the man probably do next?

B “Growing fruit trees is a very simple way to stay in love with our world,” says Vivian Keh, playwright and daughter of immigrants, holding a basket of persimmons (柿子) she’s cultivated to feel connected to her Korean ancestors. Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees. Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing (培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species’ connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty. Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s “ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the “community builders” who seek to bring people together. Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor’ illustrations — she gives Us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms. After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?” she writes. “Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.” 24. What does the underlined word “curation” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation, 25. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead. C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds. 26. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees? A. It inspires new ideas. B. It rarely happens in public. C. It allows deep emotional sharing. D. It helps resolve environmental issues. 27. What does the writer think of the book? A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense. C From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm. The reason is rising childhood obesity (肥胖). Our exclusive report last week highlighted doctors’ calls for routine blood pressure testing in children, emphasizing the dangers of obesity and the case for preventing it. The longer-term trend, both nationally and internationally, is widely recognised as alarming. Since the UK’s child measurement programme began 20 years ago, obesity rates among primary-age children in England have climbed from 17.5% to 22.1%. Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones. The resulting health risks — type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases — add to the hardships of the disadvantaged. This concentration of harm is a key reason to welcome the advertising restrictions. Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects. Children often lack the knowledge and maturity to navigate decisions about fat, sugar, and salt intake. For the UK government, narrowing the gaps that restrict the life chances of disadvantaged children must always be a priority. Public debate on obesity has increasingly focused on new weight-loss drugs, yet in the UK, these are available only to a small group of severely obese children. This highlights the need to prioritize prevention and public health initiatives around food, as a healthy lifestyle involves exercise and nutrition, not just body weight. Charities like Sustain have criticized the concessions (让步) made to industry giants, such as allowing brand advertising as long as specific junk foods are not displayed. Their caution is justified: last year saw record snack food sales, and billboard advertising — less controlled by rules — has rocketed. But while the new rules will not end childhood obesity and should have been in place sooner, as with other half measures, they are much better than none at all. 28. What is the main purpose of the new UK rules? A. To shelter children from obesity risks. B. To encourage people to break bad habits. C. To limit junk food sales to evenings. D. To enforce blood pressure testing in schools. 29. Why does the author mention gambling and smoking in paragraph 3? A. To explain the causes of poverty. B. To show they are addictive. C. To stress junk foods’ harm to the poor. D. To list common bad habits for children. 30. What is the author’s attitude toward the new advertising restrictions? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Carefree. D. Conservative. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Childhood Obesity: The Growing Crisis B. Health Inequality: The Widening Divide C. Stricter Regulations: The Call for Action D. Tackling Obesity: UK’s New Ad Rules D An ant species has evolved a remarkable solution to the danger of excess carbon dioxide inside their nests, which may hold clues to how humans can store greenhouse gases to prevent climate disaster. Fungus-farming (种植真菌) ants collect vegetation to feed cultivated fungi grown inside their colonies. In turn, the fungi serve as their primary food source. The high density of ants and fungi can result in high concentrations of CO₂ inside the nests. In 2020, Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues found that Acromyrmex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour (外壳). The ants do this through a symbiotic (共生的) relationship with Pseudonocardia bacteria, which transform CO₂ into rock using chemical processes that aren’t yet properly understood. Now, the team has discovered that another fungus-farming ant, Sericomymex amabilis, which is found in Central and South America, can do the same thing without symbiotic bacteria, becoming the first known animal to have evolved this ability. Remarkably, the mineral they make is dolomite. Dolomite rocks, such as those in Italy’s Dolomite mountains, normally take millions of years and complex geological processes to form. Yet the ants do this quickly and effortlessly, without high temperatures, says team member Hongjie Li at Zhejiang University in China. Dolomite consists of calcium, magnesium and carbonate. Forming it in the lab is difficult because magnesium doesn’t easily fit into the calcium carbonate structure, which slows down crystal formation, says Currie. To try to overcome this, he says, scientists use high temperatures and pressures. The next phase of the team’s research will try to find out how ants are able to accomplish this. In an effort to counteract global warming, scientists are exploring techniques for converting atmospheric CO2 into carbonate minerals, essentially turning carbon into stone. “These ants are the first animal shown to be engaging in such a process, offering exciting potential as a model for human efforts,” says Currie. 32. What can we learn about the fungus-farming ants’ nest? A. It stays open to outside air. B. It contains a high level of CO₂. C. It is too unstable for ants to survive. D. It provides little room for fungal growth. 33. What makes Sericomymex amabilis different from Acromyrmex echinatior in mineral formation? A. A wider geographic range. B. Involvement of a new fungus. C. A fully understood mechanism. D. Independence from bacterial help. 34. Which word best describes dolomite formation in nature? A. Simple. B. Risky. C. Time-consuming. D. Pressure-dependent. 35. How is the text mainly organized? A. Problem → solutions → outcome. B. Claim → counterclaim → resolution. C. Definition → classification → summary. D. Discovery → explanation → implications. 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。 For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British Commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it. ____36____ Every December 26, going at least as far back as 1833, the United Kingdom and other countries that are part of the British Commonwealth have observed Boxing Day as an opportunity to provide some holiday joy to those who most need it. ____37____ One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class. The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas. ____38____ The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity. The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day. ____39____ It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store. But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day. ____40____ Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t. A. But its original spirit is being forgotten. B. So what exactly is Boxing Day all about? C. There are competing stories behind its name. D. Consider observing your own charitable Boxing Day. E. Their purpose was to collect money from church-goers. F. Celebrate the day by enjoying time with your loved ones. G.

When I got home, Mum saw the poster in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A poster for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed (附和). Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. The roots grow outwards, not downwards — to get enough water and air to support the tree. “You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. Paragraph 1: His words set me thinking. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
