Reading efficiency is even lower for students of color. For example, only 21% of Hispanic/Latino and only 16% of Black/African American students were skilled on the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress. Reading difficulties for all students negatively influence achievement in other subjects, such as social studies and science, as well as students general graduation rates and employment future. Newsela ELA (English Language Arts) classes may play a role in this problem. Attendees This report focuses on figures from 208 eighth-grade students, all of whom signed up for ELA classes taught by the teachers. The average student was 14.2 years old. Students represented a range of races, as shown on the right. This model represented greater racial differences than the forming of the states as a whole, where National Center for Education Statistics figures reflect that 77% of students are white. Student groups were similar across both the Newsela treatment and comparison conditions. Conclusion Newsela ELA classes drove large growth for the eighth-grade students in this study. Attendees began the year underperforming relative to their classmates but were able to close that achievement gap in a single school year thanks to Newsela ELA use — achieving four months of additional reading growth. It can be challenging to speed up reading achievement among secondary students, as gaps in student skills or background knowledge can grow over time. As such, the influence of new reading programs on middle school students historically has been small. The effects achieved in this study are all the more admirable: Newsela ELA was 2x as effective as the average middle school reading program. 21. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By making comparisons. B. By explaining an idea. C. By giving examples. D. By providing figures. 22. What type of students make up the biggest of the course attendees? A. Students of African American. B. Students of Multiple races C. Students of White. D. Students of Latino 23. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A science website. B. A personal blog. C. A newspaper column. D. An education journal. B Chen Ning Yang, Nobel winner and one of the world’s most influential physicists, has died from an illness at the age of 103, according to Chinese state media. Yang and another theoretical physicist, Lee Tsung-Dao, were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for their work in parity laws (宇称定律), which led to important discoveries regarding elementary particles — the building blocks of matter. The Nobel committee praised their in-depth research on physics. Yang achieved his dream at the age of 35, when his work with Lee studying the law of parity earned them the honour in 1957. He was also a professor at Beijing’s famous Tsinghua University and an honorary dean of the Institute for Advanced Study at the institution. Born in 1922 in China’s eastern Anhui province, he was the oldest of five children and raised on the campus of Tsinghua University where his father was a professor of mathematics. As a teenager, Yang told his parents: “One day, I want to win the Nobel Prize.” Yang received his science degree in 1942 from National Southwest Associated University in Kunming, and later completed a master’s degree at Tsinghua University. At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he travelled to the US on a scholarship from Tsinghua and studied at the University of Chicago, where he worked under Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, inventor of the world’s first nuclear reactor. Throughout a long and productive career, he worked across all areas of physics, but maintained particular interest in the fields of statistical mechanics (统计力学) and symmetry principles (对称性原理). Yang received the Albert Einstein Commemorative Award in 1957 and was also awarded an honorary PhD by Princeton University in 1958. 24. What made Yang and Lee win the Nobel Prize? A. Their deep research on physics. B. Their contribution in parity laws. C. Their discoveries of elementary particles. D. Their research on the building blocks of matter. 25. What can be inferred about Yang’s early life? A. His father taught him physics. B. He is the eldest child in his family. C. He studied at Tsinghua University. D. His childhood experience influenced him a lot. 26. What do we know about Yang’s work after he won the Nobel Prize? A. He remained active in various physics fields. B. He stopped doing research in particle physics. C. He reduced his interest in statistical mechanics. D. He focused entirely on teaching in China. 27. Which of the following best describes Yang? A. Patient and creative. B. Ambitious and sociable. C. Adventurous and gifted. D. Well-educated and devoted. C If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 28. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 29. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 30. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 31. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene. B. How trusting you are frees people from disease. C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities. D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response. D Pets may seem like something of a luxury (奢侈品). In return for a lifetime of food and love, they don’t seem to offer practical value. When was the last time you saw a pet dog helping a farmer in a field or taking groceries off the car? So what do pets really give us? Well, that depends on who you ask. It turns out, some people may like animals by nature-likely because animals first tricked their way into our ancestors’ (祖先) lives by offering a very real service. Somewhere between 15,000 and 5,000 years ago, humans started domesticating (驯化) animals. Separating them from wild animals was necessary, or it would have slowed down the domestication. So, to make sure the wild stayed wild and the domestic stayed domestic, a few fortunate animals were allowed to live indoors and more closely alongside humans. Eventually those protected animals did what animals do. They formed a close relationship with people. People with an understanding of animals and animal keeping developed more quickly than those without, who had to continue to depend on hunting to get meat. The very same genes (基因) that spread among those early farmers make some people more likely to keep their first cat or dog today. Early farmers valued a real service provided by animals, like guarding crops, farming and providing food. Over time, this valuing has become an appreciation for animals in general. Maybe that’s why efforts to create robotic dogs have not become popular yet. A robotic dog may walk like a dog and bark like a dog and even look like a dog. But our genes tell us it isn’t a dog. Will we be able to appreciate and connect with this creature the way our ancestors did with real animals? It’s hard to imagine the robotic dog being able to learn that very old trick. 32. What helped animals domestication? A. Keeping wild and domestic animals apart. B. Forming a close connection with animals. C. Making sure the wild stayed domestic. D. Allowing more animals to live indoors. 33. What happened to the animal-keeping people later? A. They created robotic dogs. B. They depended on hunting. C. They lived a better life. D. They quit keeping animals. 34. Why are robotic dogs unpopular? A. They are unable to play tricks. B. They fail to connect with humans. C. They do not bark like real dogs. D. They are unfriendly to humans. 35. Where do people’s love for pets come from? A. Their birthplaces. B. Their work. C. Their education. D. Their genes. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Saying “no” makes us feel free Tina, 14, is a hard-working student who always says “yes” to parents, teachers and friends.

Last weekend, they went to the Rocky Mountains with their parents. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. They enjoyed mountain climbing, singing and chatting all the way. After three hours, they reached the top with no problems. The scenery on the mountaintop was so attractive that they couldn’t move their feet, taking photos all the time to share with others. However, a trouble came when they started to climb down the mountain. As they went down, the weather got bad. The road became slippery (湿滑的). Then another trouble occurred. On one very dangerous part of the path, Lan fell three metres off the side of the path. They both knew that if Jeremy Savage continued alone, he would probably get back safely. Jeremy realized exactly that he couldn’t help his friend by himself, and he needed help, but he did not want to leave his friend. Immediately, he climbed down to where Lan was without hesitation. He wanted to help Lan stand up, but Lan was badly injured and could not move. So, he used water from his own bottle to clean the dirt and blood from Lan’s face and hands firstly. They had to wait and hope that someone would come and help them. Unfortunately, several hours later, no one appeared. Lan asked Jeremy to leave alone, but Jeremy refused. The two boys sat together, thinking about how to save themselves. When the boys did not return to the campsite that evening, their parents became very worried. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for the boys, calling their names. Their parents hoped that they would see the two boys before night fall. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好。 Paragraph 1 As night fell, the boys were still missing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2 At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期邵东四中高一期中考试卷(英语) 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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。听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟的时间阅读有关小题;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Who’s the man most likely to be?

Your mother and I have given you plenty of Christmas and birthday presents, but nothing is as important as this graduation gift. I’ve watched you grow up so much over the last 18 years. And today, you’re finishing high school and preparing to go to university in September. I couldn’t be prouder of you and your sister. Your mother gave her a dress from your grandmother’s home in Italy when she finished school. And I also have something for you. Your grandfather made watches as a young man while growing up in Japan. Before moving to Canada, he took his three most valuable pieces and decided to give them to his sons. I received the watch from my father. And in honor of the intelligent young man you’ve become, I’m now giving it to you. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Introduction In the United States, only 31% of students graduate middle school as efficient readers, with overall reading achievement on the fall. Reading efficiency is even lower for students of color. For example, only 21% of Hispanic/Latino and only 16% of Black/African American students were skilled on the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress. Reading difficulties for all students negatively influence achievement in other subjects, such as social studies and science, as well as students general graduation rates and employment future. Newsela ELA (English Language Arts) classes may play a role in this problem. Attendees This report focuses on figures from 208 eighth-grade students, all of whom signed up for ELA classes taught by the teachers. The average student was 14.2 years old. Students represented a range of races, as shown on the right. This model represented greater racial differences than the forming of the states as a whole, where National Center for Education Statistics figures reflect that 77% of students are white. Student groups were similar across both the Newsela treatment and comparison conditions. Conclusion Newsela ELA classes drove large growth for the eighth-grade students in this study. Attendees began the year underperforming relative to their classmates but were able to close that achievement gap in a single school year thanks to Newsela ELA use — achieving four months of additional reading growth. It can be challenging to speed up reading achievement among secondary students, as gaps in student skills or background knowledge can grow over time. As such, the influence of new reading programs on middle school students historically has been small. The effects achieved in this study are all the more admirable: Newsela ELA was 2x as effective as the average middle school reading program. 21. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By making comparisons. B. By explaining an idea. C. By giving examples. D. By providing figures. 22. What type of students make up the biggest of the course attendees? A. Students of African American. B. Students of Multiple races C. Students of White. D. Students of Latino 23. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A science website. B. A personal blog. C. A newspaper column. D. An education journal. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23.

(例如，在2022年的全国教育进展评估中，只有21%的西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生和16%的黑人/非裔美国学生具备熟练的阅读能力。)”可知，作者通过提供一系列具体数字（31%、21%、16%）来呈现主题。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据饼图信息“White 55%”可知，在课程参与者中，白人学生（Students of White）占比55%，是最大的群体。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕中学生阅读能力的教育研究展开，包含研究数据、参与者信息和课程效果结论，这类内容具有学术性和专业性，最可能出自教育期刊（An education journal）。故选D。 B Chen Ning Yang, Nobel winner and one of the world’s most influential physicists, has died from an illness at the age of 103, according to Chinese state media. Yang and another theoretical physicist, Lee Tsung-Dao, were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for their work in parity laws (宇称定律), which led to important discoveries regarding elementary particles — the building blocks of matter. The Nobel committee praised their in-depth research on physics. Yang achieved his dream at the age of 35, when his work with Lee studying the law of parity earned them the honour in 1957. He was also a professor at Beijing’s famous Tsinghua University and an honorary dean of the Institute for Advanced Study at the institution. Born in 1922 in China’s eastern Anhui province, he was the oldest of five children and raised on the campus of Tsinghua University where his father was a professor of mathematics. As a teenager, Yang told his parents: “One day, I want to win the Nobel Prize.” Yang received his science degree in 1942 from National Southwest Associated University in Kunming, and later completed a master’s degree at Tsinghua University. At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he travelled to the US on a scholarship from Tsinghua and studied at the University of Chicago, where he worked under Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, inventor of the world’s first nuclear reactor. Throughout a long and productive career, he worked across all areas of physics, but maintained particular interest in the fields of statistical mechanics (统计力学) and symmetry principles (对称性原理). Yang received the Albert Einstein Commemorative Award in 1957 and was also awarded an honorary PhD by Princeton University in 1958. 24. What made Yang and Lee win the Nobel Prize? A. Their deep research on physics. B. Their contribution in parity laws. C. Their discoveries of elementary particles. D. Their research on the building blocks of matter. 25. What can be inferred about Yang’s early life? A. His father taught him physics. B. He is the eldest child in his family. C. He studied at Tsinghua University. D. His childhood experience influenced him a lot. 26. What do we know about Yang’s work after he won the Nobel Prize? A. He remained active in various physics fields. B. He stopped doing research in particle physics. C. He reduced his interest in statistical mechanics. D. He focused entirely on teaching in China. 27. Which of the following best describes Yang? A. Patient and creative. B. Ambitious and sociable. C. Adventurous and gifted. D. Well-educated and devoted. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了诺贝尔物理学奖得主、世界最具影响力的物理学家之一杨振宁的生平、成就及贡献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yang and another theoretical physicist, Lee Tsung-Dao, were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for their work in parity laws (宇称定律), which led to important discoveries regarding elementary particles — the building blocks of matter. (杨振宁与另一位理论物理学家李政道因在宇称定律方面的工作，于1957年共同获得诺贝尔物理学奖，这项研究导致了关于基本粒子——物质的基本组成部分——的重要发现)”可知，他们因在宇称定律(parity laws)方面的贡献获奖。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Born in 1922 in China’s eastern Anhui province, he was the oldest of five children and raised on the campus of Tsinghua University where his father was a professor of mathematics. (他于1922年出生在中国东部的安徽省，是五个孩子中的老大，并在清华大学校园长大，他的父亲是那里的数学教授)”可知，他是家中最大的孩子。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Throughout a long and productive career, he worked across all areas of physics, but maintained particular interest in the fields of statistical mechanics (统计力学) and symmetry principles (对称性原理). (在他漫长而富有成效的职业生涯中，他研究了物理学的各个领域，但对统计力学和对称性原理领域特别感兴趣)”可知，他在获得诺贝尔奖后，仍在物理学的多个领域保持活跃。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Yang achieved his dream at the age of 35, when his work with Lee studying the law of parity earned them the honour in 1957.(杨在35岁时实现了自己的梦想，1957年，他与李政道共同研究宇称定律，获得了这一荣誉)”以及最后一段“Throughout a long and productive career, he worked across all areas of physics, but maintained particular interest in the fields of statistical mechanics (统计力学) and symmetry principles (对称性原理). Yang received the Albert Einstein Commemorative Award in 1957 and was also awarded an honorary PhD by Princeton University in 1958.(在他漫长而富有成效的职业生涯中，他研究了物理学的各个领域，但对统计力学和对称性原理领域特别感兴趣。1957年，杨获得爱因斯坦纪念奖，1958年，普林斯顿大学授予他荣誉博士学位)”可知，杨振宁受过良好的教育且致力于物理学研究，因此可以用“学识渊博、奉献终身”来形容他。故选D项。 C If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 28. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 29. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 30. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 31. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene. B. How trusting you are frees people from disease. C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities. D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近的一项研究发现，我们对陌生人产生信任的能力或许不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能源于我们的基因，文章对此进行了详细介绍。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句到第三句“Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment.(关于为何有些人比其他人更易信任他人，出现了两种主要理论。一种认为信任是一种由早期生活经历塑造的稳定特征。另一种则认为信任受个人对社会环境持续评估的影响)”可知，根据这两种主要理论，社交经历可能会影响人们的信任程度。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第三句到最后一句“In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.(在他们最近的一项研究中，他们对 33882 名丹麦献血者进行了调查。研究发现，有一种名为 PLPP4 的基因与信任他人的性格特征密切相关，并且该基因解释了研究对象群体中社会信任差异的 6%。如果选取两个有着相似教育背景和生活经历的人，仅这一基因就能解释他们对他人信任程度差异的 6%)”可知，这项最近的研究关注的是信任与基因之间的联系。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.(事实上，如果信任他人能起到缓解压力的作用，那么它或许还能降低患心血管疾病的风险)”可知，文章认为信任他人对健康有好处。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.(如果选取两个有着相似教育背景和生活经历的人，仅这一基因因素就足以解释他们之间 6%的信任度差异)”可知，信任他人的能力与一个特定的基因有关。故选A。 D Pets may seem like something of a luxury (奢侈品). In return for a lifetime of food and love, they don’t seem to offer practical value. When was the last time you saw a pet dog helping a farmer in a field or taking groceries off the car? So what do pets really give us? Well, that depends on who you ask. It turns out, some people may like animals by nature-likely because animals first tricked their way into our ancestors’ (祖先) lives by offering a very real service. Somewhere between 15,000 and 5,000 years ago, humans started domesticating (驯化) animals. Separating them from wild animals was necessary, or it would have slowed down the domestication. So, to make sure the wild stayed wild and the domestic stayed domestic, a few fortunate animals were allowed to live indoors and more closely alongside humans. Eventually those protected animals did what animals do. They formed a close relationship with people. People with an understanding of animals and animal keeping developed more quickly than those without, who had to continue to depend on hunting to get meat. The very same genes (基因) that spread among those early farmers make some people more likely to keep their first cat or dog today. Early farmers valued a real service provided by animals, like guarding crops, farming and providing food. Over time, this valuing has become an appreciation for animals in general. Maybe that’s why efforts to create robotic dogs have not become popular yet. A robotic dog may walk like a dog and bark like a dog and even look like a dog. But our genes tell us it isn’t a dog. Will we be able to appreciate and connect with this creature the way our ancestors did with real animals? It’s hard to imagine the robotic dog being able to learn that very old trick. 32. What helped animals domestication? A. Keeping wild and domestic animals apart. B. Forming a close connection with animals. C. Making sure the wild stayed domestic. D. Allowing more animals to live indoors. 33. What happened to the animal-keeping people later? A. They created robotic dogs. B. They depended on hunting. C. They lived a better life. D. They quit keeping animals. 34. Why are robotic dogs unpopular? A. They are unable to play tricks. B. They fail to connect with humans. C. They do not bark like real dogs. D. They are unfriendly to humans. 35. Where do people’s love for pets come from? A. Their birthplaces. B. Their work. C. Their education. D. Their genes. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文说明文。主要讲述了为什么人们无条件的喜欢宠物其实是因为人与动物之间的联系是天生的是由基因决定的，而这恰恰是机器狗无法比拟的。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Separating them from wild animals was necessary, or it would have slowed down the domestication. So, to make sure the wild stayed wild and the domestic stayed domestic, a few fortunate animals were allowed to live indoors and more closely alongside humans.(将他们与野生动物分开是必要的，否则就会减慢驯化的速度。因此，为了确保野生动物保持野生，家养动物保持家养，一些幸运的动物被允许住在室内，与人类更密切地生活在一起)”可知，把野生动物和家养动物分离开来是必须的，否则将会减慢驯化的进程。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Eventually those protected animals did what animals do. They formed a close relationship with people. People with an understanding of animals and animal keeping developed more quickly than those without, who had to continue to depend on hunting to get meat.(最终，这些受保护的动物做了动物该做的事。他们与人建立了密切的关系。了解动物和动物饲养的人比那些不了解动物和动物饲养的人发展得更快，后者不得不继续依靠狩猎来获取肉类)”可知，对动物和动物抚养表示理解的人通常发展得要比那些没有理解的人更快，因此可以推出他们生活地更好。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Maybe that’s why efforts to create robotic dogs have not become popular yet. A robotic dog may walk like a dog and bark like a dog and even look like a dog. But our genes tell us it isn’t a dog. Will we be able to appreciate and connect with this creature the way our ancestors did with real animals? It’s hard to imagine the robotic dog being able to learn that very old trick.(也许这就是制造机器狗的努力还没有流行起来的原因。机器狗可能会像狗一样走路，像狗一样叫，甚至看起来像狗。但我们的基因告诉我们它不是狗。我们能像我们的祖先对待真正的动物那样欣赏并与这种生物建立联系吗？很难想象机器狗能够学会这个古老的把戏)”可知，机器狗尽管叫的声音和长得都像真的狗，但是它不可能和真的动物一样和我们人类建立真正的联系。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The very same genes (基因) that spread among those early farmers make some people more likely to keep their first cat or dog today. Early farmers valued a real service provided by animals, like guarding crops, farming and providing food. Over time, this valuing have become an appreciation for animals in general.(在这些早期农民中传播的基因使一些人今天更有可能养他们的第一只猫或狗。早期的农民重视动物提供的真正的服务，比如保护庄稼、耕种和提供食物。随着时间的推移，这种价值已经成为一种对动物的普遍欣赏)”以及最后一段“But our genes tell us it isn’t a dog.(但我们的基因告诉我们它不是狗)”以及纵观全文可知，人们对于动物的喜爱是天生的也就是基因决定的。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Saying “no” makes us feel free Tina, 14, is a hard-working student who always says “yes” to parents, teachers and friends. She gives up her free time and energy, yet she is afraid to refuse because she wants to keep a positive image. If you have the same worry, allow yourself to say “no” while staying polite. So how does one do this? ·Start by saying thanks For example, in Tina’s case, she could start with “____36____”, or “I’m glad you feel comfortable asking me for a favor”. But after that, remember to give a clear “no”, so people won’t ask you again. ·____37____ When you say you can’t do something, it means something outside is stopping you. But when you say you don’t do something, it means you choose not to do it, no matter what. It helps you say “no” more easily in the future. ·____38____ Try writer Alexandra Franzen’s tip. ____39____. This should be something you can easily do, like something that takes less time. For example, you could suggest someone else who can help or suggest books you’ve read that might be of great use. ____40____: thank, choose, and guide. A polite “no” takes only seconds, but it gives you back hours of your own life. Start today — your time is yours to protect. A. Say “I don’t” instead of “I can’t” B. Share advice instead of your time C. Explain your reasons when you can’t do it D. Franzen wrote a book on how to offer advice E. Thank you so much for inviting me to your party F.

Last weekend, they went to the Rocky Mountains with their parents. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. They enjoyed mountain climbing, singing and chatting all the way. After three hours, they reached the top with no problems. The scenery on the mountaintop was so attractive that they couldn’t move their feet, taking photos all the time to share with others. However, a trouble came when they started to climb down the mountain. As they went down, the weather got bad. The road became slippery (湿滑的). Then another trouble occurred. On one very dangerous part of the path, Lan fell three metres off the side of the path. They both knew that if Jeremy Savage continued alone, he would probably get back safely. Jeremy realized exactly that he couldn’t help his friend by himself, and he needed help, but he did not want to leave his friend. Immediately, he climbed down to where Lan was without hesitation. He wanted to help Lan stand up, but Lan was badly injured and could not move. So, he used water from his own bottle to clean the dirt and blood from Lan’s face and hands firstly. They had to wait and hope that someone would come and help them. Unfortunately, several hours later, no one appeared. Lan asked Jeremy to leave alone, but Jeremy refused. The two boys sat together, thinking about how to save themselves. When the boys did not return to the campsite that evening, their parents became very worried. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for the boys, calling their names. Their parents hoped that they would see the two boys before night fall. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好。 Paragraph 1 As night fell, the boys were still missing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2 At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 As night fell, the boys were still missing. The temperature dropped sharply, and the wind howled through the trees, making the situation even more desperate. Jeremy wrapped his jacket around Lan to keep him warm, but he knew it wasn’t enough. They both felt scared and helpless, but Jeremy kept reassuring Lan that they would be found soon. Meanwhile, the search party continued their efforts, using flashlights and shouting the boys’ names into the darkness. The parents’ hearts were heavy with worry, praying for their sons’ safety. Every passing minute felt like an eternity. Paragraph 2 At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him. He knew it would be a difficult and dangerous task, but he couldn’t bear to leave Lan behind. With great effort, Jeremy lifted Lan onto his back and began the slow, painful descent down the mountain. Every step was a struggle, but he never gave up. Finally, after what seemed like hours, they heard the voices of the search party. Relief washed over them as they were finally rescued and taken to safety. The boys’ parents hugged them tightly, tears of joy streaming down their faces. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jeremy和Lan在下山时遇险，在黑夜中等待救援，最终在Jeremy的努力下被搜救队找到并安全带回的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“夜幕降临时，男孩们仍下落不明。”可知，第一段可描写夜晚低温下Jeremy对Lan的照顾、两人呼救情况及搜救队持续搜救的情形。 ②由第二段首句内容“日出时，Jeremy决定帮助朋友的唯一方法是背着他。”可知，第二段可描写Jeremy背Lan下山的艰难过程及最终被搜救队发现获救的场景。 2. 续写线索：夜幕降临——低温互助——持续呼救——搜救进行——日出背行——终获救援 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①呼喊：shout/yell ②救援：rescue/save ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/frightened/afraid ②喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】They both felt scared and helpless, but Jeremy kept reassuring Lan that they would be found soon.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Finally, after what seemed like hours, they heard the voices of the search party.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的abc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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Can you show me where to go?
