B Every morning at 5 a.m. when most people are asleep, a single figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals for the needy folks of Singapore until the rest of the volunteers and the four full-time cooks arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness into their lives. During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less-privileged neighbourhood, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. When Mrs Tay asked for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting. Since the organization’s early days, volunteers have learned how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, build strong bonds with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to foster unity within their own families. His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged. One volunteer, he proudly tells us, has been inspired to start his own programme to help the needy. As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts relies heavily on donations and food collections. Although the volunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular group, they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them. 4. What inspired Tony Tay and his wife to start Willing Hearts? A. The need to raise money for the poor. B. The lack of volunteers in Singapore. C. An old woman’s difficulty in cooking. D. Their dream of becoming full-time cooks. 5. What does the underlined word “backyard” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The garden behind a house. B. The hidden social problems. C. The kitchen where food is prepared. D. The volunteer team of Willing Hearts. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Tony Tay? A. Devoted and inspiring. B. Humorous and creative. C. Organized and easy-going. D. Knowledgeable and modest. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tony Tay: A Cook for the Elderly Folks B. Volunteers: Serving Local Communities C. Younger Generation: Caring for the Elderly D. Willing Hearts: Bringing Kindness to the Needy C When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma’s generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best. But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to stoneware-and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times. Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is cutting 1,000 jobs — one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶器) region to more than 4,000. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company “has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend” toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it’s better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time? Yet the loss of formality has its downside. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (“Chew with your mouth closed.” “Keep your elbows off the table.”) must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially. 8. What does the change in Christmas dinner traditions mean for British fine china makers? A. It makes their products simpler. B. It leads to difficult economic situations. C. It brings them more business opportunities. D. It results in the improvement of their products. 9. What can we learn from the passage? A. The pottery industry is suffering severe job losses. B. Wedgwood cut more jobs than Royal Doulton did. C. Stoke-on-Trent has created new jobs for pottery workers. D. Royal Doulton has recovered from its economic hard times. 10. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining? A. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality. B. Family members need more time to relax at home. C. People want to cut costs by giving up fine china. D. Young people won’t follow the traditional table rules. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the trend of casual dining? A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. D Ticklishness, a universal yet puzzling human response characterized by laughter or squirming (扭动) upon light touch, has long aroused the curiosity of scientists. Recent studies have clarified its physiological and evolutionary foundations, revealing it to be more than a simple reflex (反射) or reaction. Physiologically, ticklishness arises from interactions between sensory nerves and the brain. Research from University of California, Los Angeles shows that tickle-inducing (引起痒感的) light touches activate two types of nerve fibers: A-beta fibers, which sense gentle pressure, and C-tactile fibers, linked to pleasant touch. These signals travel to two parts of the brain. One deals with touch, the other controls feelings and laughter. As a result, people feel both pleasure and discomfort. Evolutionary biology offers another key perspective. A 2023 study in Nature Human Behaviour suggests ticklishness evolved as a protective reflex. In babies, it encourages playful interaction with caregivers, strengthening bonds and teaching avoidance of unexpected, potentially harmful touches. Adults preserve this reflex to detect potential threats, such as insects on the skin. Notably, self-tickling seldom triggers the same intense response as being tickled by others. Brain imaging reveals the cerebellum (小脑) — responsible for movement coordination and motor prediction — plays a central role. When we try to tickle ourselves, it anticipates the timing, location, and pressure of the touch and sends advance signals to hold back the tickle reflex. This makes touch signals weaker. Why are some people less ticklish? Key reasons include individual differences in sensory nerve density and brain processing. Those with fewer A-beta or C-tactile fibers may be less sensitive to light touch. Additionally, in some individuals, the cerebellum’s ability to predict touch — even from others — can hold back the tickle response. Psychological factors such as mood and attention also matter; distraction or calmness may reduce ticklish feelings. In conclusion, ticklishness is a complex interplay of sensory processing and evolutionary adaptation. It serves both social and protective functions, linking physical feelings to emotional and survival behaviors. Although more studies may explain differences between people, it is clear that ticklishness is an important human trait. 12. What is a newly-found truth about ticklishness according to the passage? A. It is nothing more than a simple physical reflex. B. It mainly depends on individual psychological states. C. It has identifiable physiological and evolutionary origins. D. It’s characterized by the laughter or squirming upon light touch. 13. What can be inferred about ticklishness from the 2023 study in Nature Human Behaviour? A. It disappears gradually as people grow into adulthood. B. It contributes to emotional connection and threat detection. C. It enables babies to avoid all dangerous insects in daily life. D. It helps improve human balance and movement coordination. 14. Why does self-tickling rarely work as effectively as being tickled by others? A. Self-tickling sends no touch signals to the brain. B. People are usually distracted when tickling themselves. C. Self-tickling cannot activate A-beta and C-tactile fibers. D. The cerebellum predicts the touch and contains the reflex. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The role of ticklishness in children’s development. B. The scientific explanations for human ticklishness. C. The ways to reduce ticklish sensations in daily life. D. The differences between self-tickling and others’ tickling. 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。 Some lucky people are born with artistic talent, while others have to study to become experts in art. ____16____ Some people just let their creative urges out more easily than others.

The match is over!” the official announced. “The Hawks win.” Blinking back tears, Avery walked slowly off the football field. She’d just missed the decisive penalty kick (点球), costing her team the Eagles a place in the final. On the bench sat her teammate Zoey, who had messed up twice herself in the match. Though she and Avery had always got along well as teammates, anger at the team’s loss and her own careless mistakes got the better of her. “Thanks,” she said coldly. “Now we’re not going to the finals.” “That was mean, Zoey. We’re a team!” another teammate protested. Turning to Avery, she added, “Don’t worry — we all miss shots sometimes.” At the words, Zoey’s heart sank with a jolt. She knew clearly she was also to blame and had no right to blame Avery alone. Regret crept over her at once, yet pride held her back from saying sorry right away. Uncomfortable and guilty, she fell completely silent. Avery, however, was too wrapped up in her own hurt to notice Zoey’s guilty look. She turned away quietly and headed to meet her dad at Subbee’s for lunch. It was late afternoon, so they had the place to themselves. As the sandwich maker prepared her order, Avery’s mind kept replaying the final seconds of the match and blaming herself. Standing in front of the cash register, Dad asked if she wanted to “pay it forward”, a kind act they’d received before. Since then, Avery and Dad occasionally paid that kindness forward when eating out by covering the next customer’s order, delighting deeply in their genuine, cheerful reactions. Though still feeling down, Avery agreed, hoping to cheer herself up, and handed over five dollars from her allowance to cover another meal. Sitting at the table, they unwrapped their sandwiches and guessed who would get the free meal. 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。 Paragraph 1 Just then, the door opened, and Avery froze — it was Zoey. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 At that moment, Zoey determined to say something that had been bothering her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025学年第二学期高二阶段性质量检测试卷 高二年级英语学科试题 考生须知： 1．本卷共10页满分150分，考试时间120分钟; 2．答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、学号和姓名;考场号、座位号写在指定位置; 3．所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效; 4．考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 选择题部分 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.

Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness into their lives. During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less-privileged neighbourhood, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. When Mrs Tay asked for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting. Since the organization’s early days, volunteers have learned how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, build strong bonds with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to foster unity within their own families. His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged. One volunteer, he proudly tells us, has been inspired to start his own programme to help the needy. As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts relies heavily on donations and food collections. Although the volunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular group, they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them. 4. What inspired Tony Tay and his wife to start Willing Hearts? A. The need to raise money for the poor. B. The lack of volunteers in Singapore. C. An old woman’s difficulty in cooking. D. Their dream of becoming full-time cooks. 5. What does the underlined word “backyard” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The garden behind a house. B. The hidden social problems. C. The kitchen where food is prepared. D. The volunteer team of Willing Hearts. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Tony Tay? A. Devoted and inspiring. B. Humorous and creative. C. Organized and easy-going. D. Knowledgeable and modest. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tony Tay: A Cook for the Elderly Folks B. Volunteers: Serving Local Communities C. Younger Generation: Caring for the Elderly D. Willing Hearts: Bringing Kindness to the Needy 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了Tony Tay夫妇因一位老人不会做饭创办公益组织Willing Hearts。志愿者们持续送餐助人，该组织也影响了年轻人，依靠捐助默默帮扶弱势群体。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When Mrs Tay asked for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting. (当泰太太询问原因时，有人回答说她不会做饭，所以只能吃送来的米饭。随后泰女士主动提出为她做饭，而就是这一餐，催生了 “爱心志愿团”。该组织至今已送出近 65 万份餐食，数量仍在持续增加。)”可知，一位老妇人在烹饪方面遇到的困难促使托尼·泰和他的妻子创办了Willing Hearts组织。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Since the organization’s early days, volunteers have learned how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, build strong bonds with one another.(自该组织成立之初起，志愿者们就学会了烹饪、与各行各业的人交流、掌握多种语言、深入了解社会问题，而最重要的是，他们彼此之间也建立了深厚的友谊)”以及后文“to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors(让他们能够亲眼目睹并亲身感受那些紧闭的门后所发生的一切)”可知，指代隐性社会问题。故划线词意思是“隐藏在背后的社会问题”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness into their lives.(日复一日，托尼·泰先生和他的团队精心准备、烹饪、打包并将食物送到岛上的各个地方。来自各行各业的这些充满爱心的志愿者们不辞辛劳地工作，为那些生活贫困的人们带来微笑，为他们的生活带来温暖和善意)”以及第三段“This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to foster unity within their own families.(此举旨在鼓励他们成长为更有同情心的人，懂得关爱老年人的重要性，并激励他们促进家庭内部的团结)”可知，托尼·泰乐于奉献且鼓舞人心。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting.(泰夫人随后主动提出为她做饭，这一简单的举动促成了“爱心厨房”的诞生。此后，该组织已累计提供近65万份餐食，而且数量还在不断增加)”文章主要说明了Tony Tay夫妇因一位老人不会做饭创办公益组织 Willing Hearts。志愿者们持续送餐助人，该组织也影响了年轻人，依靠捐助默默帮扶弱势群体。可知，D选项“Willing Hearts：将善意带给无助之人”最符合文章标题。 C When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma’s generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best. But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to stoneware-and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times. Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is cutting 1,000 jobs — one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶器) region to more than 4,000. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company “has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend” toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it’s better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time? Yet the loss of formality has its downside. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (“Chew with your mouth closed.” “Keep your elbows off the table.”) must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially. 8. What does the change in Christmas dinner traditions mean for British fine china makers? A. It makes their products simpler. B. It leads to difficult economic situations. C. It brings them more business opportunities. D. It results in the improvement of their products. 9. What can we learn from the passage? A. The pottery industry is suffering severe job losses. B. Wedgwood cut more jobs than Royal Doulton did. C. Stoke-on-Trent has created new jobs for pottery workers. D. Royal Doulton has recovered from its economic hard times. 10. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining? A. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality. B. Family members need more time to relax at home. C. People want to cut costs by giving up fine china. D. Young people won’t follow the traditional table rules. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the trend of casual dining? A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】如今圣诞聚餐愈发随意，英国高档瓷器行业陷入困境、大幅裁员。这一变化源于人们生活忙碌，同时传统餐桌礼仪逐渐流失。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.(对于英国的高档瓷器制造商来说，这意味着经济上的艰难时期)”可知，圣诞节餐桌上的传统变化对英国的高档瓷器制造商意味着会导致经济上的困境。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is cutting 1,000 jobs — one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶器) region to more than 4,000.(上周，位于特伦特河畔斯托克市的皇家多尔顿公司宣布将裁减1000个工作岗位——占其总员工数的五分之一。这使得该陶器产区在18个月内失去的工作岗位总数超过了4000个)”可知，陶瓷业正面临严重的人员流失问题。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it’s better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party.(在工作时间长、家庭日程安排紧张的当下，忙碌的主人们坚信这一点是正确的：与其等待完美的时机或举办一场“真正的”晚宴，不如在家庭活动室里用纸盘子一起分享一份外卖披萨)”可知，紧张的日程安排使得人们没有时间讲究形式可能是人们选择便餐的原因。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort.(对于主人和客人来说，这一改变意味着更加简洁和舒适)”以及最后一段“Yet the loss of formality has its downside.(然而，这种形式上的简化也有其不利之处)”可知，文中既提及休闲用餐的便利，也讲到礼仪缺失的弊端，即作者对休闲餐饮这一趋势持客观态度。 D Ticklishness, a universal yet puzzling human response characterized by laughter or squirming (扭动) upon light touch, has long aroused the curiosity of scientists. Recent studies have clarified its physiological and evolutionary foundations, revealing it to be more than a simple reflex (反射) or reaction. Physiologically, ticklishness arises from interactions between sensory nerves and the brain. Research from University of California, Los Angeles shows that tickle-inducing (引起痒感的) light touches activate two types of nerve fibers: A-beta fibers, which sense gentle pressure, and C-tactile fibers, linked to pleasant touch. These signals travel to two parts of the brain. One deals with touch, the other controls feelings and laughter. As a result, people feel both pleasure and discomfort. Evolutionary biology offers another key perspective. A 2023 study in Nature Human Behaviour suggests ticklishness evolved as a protective reflex. In babies, it encourages playful interaction with caregivers, strengthening bonds and teaching avoidance of unexpected, potentially harmful touches. Adults preserve this reflex to detect potential threats, such as insects on the skin. Notably, self-tickling seldom triggers the same intense response as being tickled by others. Brain imaging reveals the cerebellum (小脑) — responsible for movement coordination and motor prediction — plays a central role. When we try to tickle ourselves, it anticipates the timing, location, and pressure of the touch and sends advance signals to hold back the tickle reflex. This makes touch signals weaker. Why are some people less ticklish? Key reasons include individual differences in sensory nerve density and brain processing. Those with fewer A-beta or C-tactile fibers may be less sensitive to light touch. Additionally, in some individuals, the cerebellum’s ability to predict touch — even from others — can hold back the tickle response. Psychological factors such as mood and attention also matter; distraction or calmness may reduce ticklish feelings. In conclusion, ticklishness is a complex interplay of sensory processing and evolutionary adaptation. It serves both social and protective functions, linking physical feelings to emotional and survival behaviors. Although more studies may explain differences between people, it is clear that ticklishness is an important human trait. 12. What is a newly-found truth about ticklishness according to the passage? A. It is nothing more than a simple physical reflex. B. It mainly depends on individual psychological states. C. It has identifiable physiological and evolutionary origins. D. It’s characterized by the laughter or squirming upon light touch. 13. What can be inferred about ticklishness from the 2023 study in Nature Human Behaviour? A. It disappears gradually as people grow into adulthood. B. It contributes to emotional connection and threat detection. C. It enables babies to avoid all dangerous insects in daily life. D. It helps improve human balance and movement coordination. 14. Why does self-tickling rarely work as effectively as being tickled by others? A. Self-tickling sends no touch signals to the brain. B. People are usually distracted when tickling themselves. C. Self-tickling cannot activate A-beta and C-tactile fibers. D. The cerebellum predicts the touch and contains the reflex. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The role of ticklishness in children’s development. B. The scientific explanations for human ticklishness. C. The ways to reduce ticklish sensations in daily life. D. The differences between self-tickling and others’ tickling. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文从生理、进化角度解读挠痒现象，分析自我挠痒效果差、个体敏感度不同的原因，介绍其社交与防护作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recent studies have clarified its physiological and evolutionary foundations, revealing it to be more than a simple reflex (反射) or reaction.(近期研究阐明了它的生理和进化基础，表明它不只是一种简单的反射或反应。)”可知，挠痒有明确的生理和进化根源，这是新发现。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In babies, it encourages playful interaction with caregivers, strengthening bonds and teaching avoidance of unexpected, potentially harmful touches. Adults preserve this reflex to detect potential threats, such as insects on the skin.(对婴儿而言，它促进与看护者的互动、增进情感联结、学会躲避潜在危险触碰；成年人保留该反射以察觉皮肤昆虫等潜在威胁。)”可知，挠痒有助于情感联结与威胁感知。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When we try to tickle ourselves, it anticipates the timing, location, and pressure of the touch and sends advance signals to hold back the tickle reflex.(当我们给自己挠痒时，小脑会预判触碰的时间、位置和力度，提前发出信号抑制挠痒反射。)”可知，小脑预判触碰并抑制反射，导致自我挠痒效果弱。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是最后一段“In conclusion, ticklishness is a complex interplay of sensory processing and evolutionary adaptation. It serves both social and protective functions, linking physical feelings to emotional and survival behaviors. Although more studies may explain differences between people, it is clear that ticklishness is an important human trait.(总之，痒感是感官处理与进化适应相互作用的复杂结果。它兼具社交与自我保护功能，将身体感受和情绪、生存行为联系起来。尽管还需更多研究来解释个体差异，但显而易见，怕痒是人类的一种重要特征。)”可知，文章从生理机制、进化意义、自我挠痒原理及个体差异等方面，科学解释人类挠痒现象。 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。 Some lucky people are born with artistic talent, while others have to study to become experts in art. ____16____ Some people just let their creative urges out more easily than others.

In 41. shared 42. what 43. a 44. and 45. offering 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍了2026年3月3日在德国柏林成功举办的“ITB中国之夜：品味中国”文化旅游推广活动，该活动通过多种形式展示中国旅游资源和饮食文化，旨在加强中外旅游行业交流合作。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：2026年3月3日，一场重要的文化旅游推广活动——“ITB中国之夜：品味中国”在德国柏林成功举办。根据时间状语“On March 3, 2026”可知，事情发生在过去，应用一般过去时；且主语“a significant cultural and tourism promotion event”与动词“hold”之间是被动关系，即活动被举办，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态“was/were +过去分词”，主语是单数。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：该活动巧妙地选在传统的中国元宵节。此处修饰动词“fell”，应用副词，strategic的副词形式为strategically，意为“战略性地，巧妙地”。 【38题详解】 考查名词。句意：通过旅游展示、文化表演和烹饪品鉴环节的精彩融合，它生动地向国际观众展示了中国旅游资源和饮食文化的丰富多样性。根据“the rich”可知，此处需填名词作宾语，diverse的名词形式为diversity，意为“多样性”，为不可数名词。故填diversity。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：其核心目标是加强对话，促进中国与全球旅游行业之间的实际合作。此处作表语，说明主语“The core objective”的内容，应用动词不定式to enhance，表示“为了加强”。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：在视频致辞中，主办方之一的主任张伟国先生强调了“和谐”的共享价值。表示“在……中”，用介词In，句首首字母大写。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在视频致辞中，主办方之一的主任张伟国先生强调了“和谐”的共享价值。此处修饰名词“value”，应用形容词，share的形容词形式为shared，意为“共享的”。 【42题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：他表示，该活动旨在建立一个平台，让全球旅游利益相关者分享资源并探索合作机会。分析句子结构，“____ the event aimed to do”为主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指“做的事情”，所以用连接代词what引导。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：来自柏林展览公司的一位高级执行官大卫·鲁茨先生，认可了中国作为世界上最具活力的旅游市场之一的地位，并强调了该活动作为关键连接纽带的作用。此处表示泛指“一位高级执行官”，且senior是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：来自柏林展览公司的一位高级执行官大卫·鲁茨先生，认可了中国作为世界上最具活力的旅游市场之一的地位，并强调了该活动作为关键连接纽带的作用。“acknowledged China’s position...”与“highlighted the event’s role...”为并列关系，所以用连词and连接。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一个显著的特点是来自五个中国合作目的地——山东、湖北、重庆、澳门和陕西延安——的一系列充满活力的展示，每个目的地都对当地文化和风景名胜提供了独特的视角。分析句子结构，此处为独立主格结构，“each”与“offer”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词offering。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假如你是高中生李华，你发现你校学生普遍存在英语晨读效率低的现象，为此，请你以“How to Improve the Efficiency of Morning English Reading”为题向你校英文报投稿，写一篇文章，内容包括： 1．陈述具体现象； 2．提出解决方案。 注意： 1．写作词数80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 How to Improve the Efficiency of Morning English Reading ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Editor, I am Li Hua.

The match is over!” the official announced. “The Hawks win.” Blinking back tears, Avery walked slowly off the football field. She’d just missed the decisive penalty kick (点球), costing her team the Eagles a place in the final. On the bench sat her teammate Zoey, who had messed up twice herself in the match. Though she and Avery had always got along well as teammates, anger at the team’s loss and her own careless mistakes got the better of her. “Thanks,” she said coldly. “Now we’re not going to the finals.” “That was mean, Zoey. We’re a team!” another teammate protested. Turning to Avery, she added, “Don’t worry — we all miss shots sometimes.” At the words, Zoey’s heart sank with a jolt. She knew clearly she was also to blame and had no right to blame Avery alone. Regret crept over her at once, yet pride held her back from saying sorry right away. Uncomfortable and guilty, she fell completely silent. Avery, however, was too wrapped up in her own hurt to notice Zoey’s guilty look. She turned away quietly and headed to meet her dad at Subbee’s for lunch. It was late afternoon, so they had the place to themselves. As the sandwich maker prepared her order, Avery’s mind kept replaying the final seconds of the match and blaming herself. Standing in front of the cash register, Dad asked if she wanted to “pay it forward”, a kind act they’d received before. Since then, Avery and Dad occasionally paid that kindness forward when eating out by covering the next customer’s order, delighting deeply in their genuine, cheerful reactions. Though still feeling down, Avery agreed, hoping to cheer herself up, and handed over five dollars from her allowance to cover another meal. Sitting at the table, they unwrapped their sandwiches and guessed who would get the free meal. 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。 Paragraph 1 Just then, the door opened, and Avery froze — it was Zoey. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 At that moment, Zoey determined to say something that had been bothering her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, the door opened, and Avery froze — it was Zoey. Seeing her teammate, Avery’s heart tightened with lingering sadness, still upset about the match loss. Zoey dragged her feet forward, her face filled with embarrassment and unease. She had felt restless and guilty all afternoon for her rude words. When the staff told Zoey her meal was paid forward by a kind customer, she looked around in confusion. Spotting Avery, she instantly realized the warm kindness came from the girl she had blamed earlier, and a wave of shame washed over her. At that moment, Zoey determined to say something that had been bothering her. She walked up to Avery nervously, voice soft and sincere. “I’m so sorry for my rude attitude today,” she apologized earnestly. “I was frustrated about our failure and took my anger out on you wrongly.” Avery was deeply touched by her sincere apology and smiled gently. They comforted each other, admitting everyone made mistakes in the match. Regret faded away, and relief filled both of their hearts. The small kindness bridged their gap and made their teamwork stronger than before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以足球比赛失利、队友产生矛盾为线索展开，讲述了Avery因错失点球导致球队落败，遭到队友Zoey指责，Zoey心生愧疚却碍于骄傲不愿道歉，最终在餐厅偶遇Avery，被对方善意打动、主动和解的温暖故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写佐伊偶遇埃弗里的窘迫状态、得知免单真相后的羞愧情绪。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写佐伊真诚道歉、二人和解、消除隔阂、重归于好的过程。 2.续写线索：偶遇队友→窘迫愧疚→得知善意→心生羞愧→真诚道歉→和解释怀 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②安慰：comfort/console 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②困惑地：in confusion/in puzzlement 【点睛】【高分句型1】Zoey dragged her feet forward, her face filled with embarrassment and unease.(运用了独立主格结构“her face filled with embarrassment and unease”) 【高分句型2】They comforted each other, admitting everyone made mistakes in the match. (运用了现在分词短语“admitting everyone made mistakes in the match”作状语，其中含省略了引导词that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
