Many years ago, several coworkers and I developed a “Life, Career, and Educational Planning” curriculum for adult learners. We knew that our community college students had often had unsuccessful experiences in school, and that what led to fond memories for us, like the smell of crayons or a new blank notebook, would have the opposite effect on them. Our goal was to help them understand where the negative messages came from and build their confidence. My memories of school are positive. It was a place where I excelled and was from an early age regarded as a leader. But when I was discussing different kinds of memories with my writing group recently, I was surprised to discover that my memories of kindergarten were entirely negative. Since we moved in the spring of my kindergarten year, I have had two distinct memories, which were humiliating (丢脸的) and still make me angry. One day, in my first kindergarten we came to school in costume. I wore my cowgirl outfit with a blue fringed skirt and vest. As we were skipping in a circle, I yelled “giddy up!” and the teacher told me to be quiet. I still remember thinking it was unfair. How could I be a quiet cowgirl? I remember this was the first time that I was silenced in school, but certainly not the last. In later years, it wasn’t necessarily a matter of not speaking, but of not saying the “wrong” thing. The “wrong” thing challenged the teacher or the popular thought — exactly what we wanted our students to do. On the first day at my new school, which was the day after we moved, the teacher had me stand up in front of the class and asked me to share my telephone number and address. I knew neither. I forgot every phone number I had ever had, but not KI7-5622. It has taken me years to be patient with “not knowing” — my own or others. They were such small incidents, but had such a large impact. I think they have made me a better teacher and coworker. 24. What did the smell of crayons mean to the author’s students? A. It caused them negative feelings. B. It reminded them of happy days. C. It was a sign of good luck. D. It brought academic success. 25. What was the author’s purpose of shouting “giddy up!”? A. To silence the other students. B. To let out her anger. C. To give the teacher a surprise. D. To act like a real cowgirl. 26. Why does the author still remember KI7-5622 today? A. It was her favorite number. B. It once made her feel ashamed. C. It was the teacher’s phone number. D. It was the address of her new home. 27. How have the author’s memories impacted her? A. She has realized the importance of knowledge. B. They have taught her to be patient with strangers. C. They have helped form her own teaching philosophy. D. She has avoided asking personal questions ever since. C Science has yet to discover a way to prevent volcanic eruptions, so the early warning signs of volcanic activity are key to keeping people safe. One of the earliest signs that a volcano is becoming active is the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (散发). However, because there is already plenty of carbon dioxide present in the air at any given moment, it makes it difficult for scientists to discover whether or not there has been a volcano-related increase in the atmosphere. Before now, those monitoring volcanoes would have to visit the volcanoes directly in order to measure the output of carbon dioxide. This method of detection is often dangerous, as volcanoes are awfully located in remote areas with difficult land shapes. But how can trees help indicate this increase in carbon dioxide in an easily observable manner? When a volcano begins to prepare for an eruption, the movement of magma (岩浆) through Earth’s crust releases carbon dioxide and other gases. As these gases make their way to the surface, trees slurp up the carbon dioxide and their leaves become greener than before. Thankfully, these changes in tree leaves are easily visible from space. So, by using NASA satellite technology to monitor these observed changes, scientists can be alerted to incoming volcanic activity sooner than other methods like earthquake activity and changes on the ground. “Our research is a two-way interdisciplinary intersection between ecology and volcanology,” said Josh Fisher, climate scientist at Chapman University. “We’re interested not only in tree responses to volcanic carbon dioxide as an early warning of eruption, but also in how much the trees are able to take up, as a window into the future of the Earth when all the Earth’s trees are exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide.” This collaborative study is the first time changes in tree leaf color have been positively correlated to magma-generated carbon dioxide. The method isn’t guaranteed to work every time, however, as factors such as climate and weather conditions determine whether the area surrounding a volcano is suitable for satellite monitoring. 28. What made it challenging for the scientists to monitor volcanoes earlier? A. The inaccessibility of volcanoes. B. The lack of a warning system. C. The insufficiency of carbon dioxide. D. The poison from volcano eruption. 29. What does the underlined part “slurp up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mix up. B. Keep off. C. Take in. D. Settle into. 30. What does Josh Fisher aim to find out through their research? A. The frequency of volcanic eruption. B. The tree species most resistant to high CO2. C. The way to combine ecology with volcanology. D. The condition of future Earth with high CO2. 31. What’s stressed about the new method in the last paragraph? A. It’s premature. B. It has limitations. C. It’s complicated. D. It has high costs. D One of the most surprising facts about ants is that most species don’t have leaders in any meaningful sense. You may ask, “But what about the queen?” Sure, queens exist, but their role is reproduction, not management. A queen doesn’t direct workers, assign tasks, or make strategic decisions. Not only is there no leader barking orders, but workers don’t issue commands to one another, either. Each ant operates based on local information and simple behavioral signals. Despite this, ant groups can perform tasks that seem well-coordinated by design. They find the shortest path to food. They adjust routes when obstacles appear. They allocate more workers to rich food sources and abandon poor ones. They even regulate traffic flow on busy trails to prevent overcrowding. Scientists refer to this as self-organization. Order emerges as a result of many small interactions, not from top-down control. The glue holding this system together is pheromones (信息素). Put broadly, pheromones are chemical substances that animals release to influence the behavior of others of the same species. Ants produce many different pheromones, each serving a specific purpose. Some signal alarm, others mark territory, and others indicate food sources. When an ant finds food, it often lays down a pheromone trail as it returns to the nest. But this trail isn’t just a simple line that says: food here. It contains layered information. Other ants can “read” a trail’s strength, freshness, and chemical makeup, allowing them to infer things like how many ants have used it, how recently, and whether it was laid after a successful find. Ants interpret these pheromone trails using highly sensitive antennae (触角) that allow them to detect extremely small amounts of these chemicals. By touching the ground with their antennae as they walk, ants continuously sample the chemical landscape around them — like reading Braille with one’s fingertips. In the most simplistic terms, if a trail is worth following, the ants will lay down pheromones that say so; if it isn’t, they won’t. In this way, the ants essentially vote where to invest their labor. 32. How do ants behave in search of food? A. They each perform their assigned tasks. B. They interact with each other frequently. C. They obey the queen’s commands strictly. D. They follow the decision of their leader. 33. What information can ants get from a pheromone trail? A. The existence of food. B. The number of their enemies. C. The harm of chemicals. D. The location of their nest. 34. Why does the author mention Braille in the fourth paragraph? A. To define a new concept. B. To draw an appropriate conclusion. C. To provide the background. D. To enhance clarity by comparing. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Chemical properties of pheromones. B. Ants’ food-seeking strategies. C. Ants’ self-organization ability. D. Ant queens’ leadership. 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。 On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. ____36____ When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. ____37____ Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. ____38____ Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. ____39____ At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” ____40____ In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A. Still, he never stopped. B. The process was difficult and cold. C. Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D. Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E. Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F. He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G. This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I started working with Apex Solutions shortly after graduation.

With his big brown eyes and boundless energy, he’s the kind of kid who spots a bird’s nest in a tree or a lost glove on the sidewalk. So, it wasn’t surprising when, one sunny afternoon, he overheard our elderly neighbor, Mrs. Patterson, chatting with the mailman about her upcoming birthday. Mrs. Patterson, a quiet figure who tends her garden alone, lives a few houses down, rarely engaging with the neighborhood. But Leo’s ears perked (竖起) up, and he turned to me with a sense of urgency. “Mom, we have to do something for Mrs. Patterson,” he said in excitement. I was a bit unsure. We’d never been close to Mrs. Patterson — she kept to herself, her curtains often drawn, and I wasn’t certain if she’d welcome a surprise. But Leo wouldn’t let it go. “Everyone deserves a birthday cake,” he insisted. How could I say no to that sweet logic? His big heart was set on making her day special, and I couldn’t resist his infectious enthusiasm. So we dove into action — a homemade surprise with love. In our small kitchen, we made a chocolate cake — simple, a little lopsided from Leo’s eager stirring (搅动), but packed with love. When it was baked, he grabbed his crayons and crafted a birthday card, drawing a bright sun and stick figures of the three of us — him, me, and Mrs. Patterson — holding hands under it. The smell of warm chocolate filled the air, and by late afternoon, with the cake cooled and the card signed, we were ready. Just before dinner, we marched over, Leo holding the plate cautiously, his face lit up with anticipation. We knocked on Mrs. Patterson’s door, the sound echoing (回荡) in the quiet street. At first, there was silence — Leo moved his feet nervously, his smile turning into disappointment. 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。 I was about to suggest we leave when the door opened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She opened the door wide and invited us to come in. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What’s the weather like at the moment?

M: One of my Chinese friends has just had a baby. I want to go and visit him, but I don’t know what to take for his baby. W: There is not a special custom. You may take whatever you like for the baby. M: Isn’t it necessary to buy something red? I’ve read that Chinese often use red on happy occasions. W: That’s true. Traditionally, when a baby is one month old, there is usually a celebration. On that day, the baby will be dressed in red. M: Is there a special meaning for that custom? W: Yes. It is considered that red can drive away the evil things and the baby will be blessed with a happy life. M: Do Chinese still follow that tradition? W: In some places, especially in the rural area, the tradition is kept. But in large cities the celebration either becomes simpler or takes on a different form. M: Then I want to buy the baby a blue set of clothes. Is that suitable? W: Yes. But why do you pick blue? M: Because the baby is a boy. In our country, blue is for boys and pink is for girls. W: That’s an interesting tradition. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What was the woman ten years ago? A. A director. B. A teacher. C. A writer. 18.

C 【解析】 【原文】W: Well, I’d love to share with you something about my life. I was a director of labor relations for a big company ten years ago. And I should have been happy. I had everything that I thought I wanted. But going into work every day took away a bit of myself. Until finally I stopped and said, “Where is that lively college girl who used to read tens of books and do fun things? Where is she?” I knew I had to look for her. Then one day, walking through a children’s bookstore, it hit me. I loved these books. I gathered an armful of books and said, “This is what I want to do.” And since then, I have treated writing like a full-time job. I wrote over twenty stories in the next year. And most of them got sent back with letters saying they were not good enough. But I didn’t give up. When I worked in the company, I worked sixty-hour weeks because I had to. Now I work sixty-hour weeks because I love it. If I hadn’t made that choice to take a chance to do something that really spoke to me, I don’t think I could have lived with myself. 第二部分 阅读(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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Make Your Mark: Art Contest Are you an ambitious artist?

Many years ago, several coworkers and I developed a “Life, Career, and Educational Planning” curriculum for adult learners. We knew that our community college students had often had unsuccessful experiences in school, and that what led to fond memories for us, like the smell of crayons or a new blank notebook, would have the opposite effect on them. Our goal was to help them understand where the negative messages came from and build their confidence. My memories of school are positive. It was a place where I excelled and was from an early age regarded as a leader. But when I was discussing different kinds of memories with my writing group recently, I was surprised to discover that my memories of kindergarten were entirely negative. Since we moved in the spring of my kindergarten year, I have had two distinct memories, which were humiliating (丢脸的) and still make me angry. One day, in my first kindergarten we came to school in costume. I wore my cowgirl outfit with a blue fringed skirt and vest. As we were skipping in a circle, I yelled “giddy up!” and the teacher told me to be quiet. I still remember thinking it was unfair. How could I be a quiet cowgirl? I remember this was the first time that I was silenced in school, but certainly not the last. In later years, it wasn’t necessarily a matter of not speaking, but of not saying the “wrong” thing. The “wrong” thing challenged the teacher or the popular thought — exactly what we wanted our students to do. On the first day at my new school, which was the day after we moved, the teacher had me stand up in front of the class and asked me to share my telephone number and address. I knew neither. I forgot every phone number I had ever had, but not KI7-5622. It has taken me years to be patient with “not knowing” — my own or others. They were such small incidents, but had such a large impact. I think they have made me a better teacher and coworker. 24. What did the smell of crayons mean to the author’s students? A. It caused them negative feelings. B. It reminded them of happy days. C. It was a sign of good luck. D. It brought academic success. 25. What was the author’s purpose of shouting “giddy up!”? A. To silence the other students. B. To let out her anger. C. To give the teacher a surprise. D. To act like a real cowgirl. 26. Why does the author still remember KI7-5622 today? A. It was her favorite number. B. It once made her feel ashamed. C. It was the teacher’s phone number. D. It was the address of her new home. 27. How have the author’s memories impacted her? A. She has realized the importance of knowledge. B. They have taught her to be patient with strangers. C. They have helped form her own teaching philosophy. D. She has avoided asking personal questions ever since. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】作者介绍了自己为成人学习者开发课程的背景，分享了自己幼儿园时期两段丢脸的负面校园记忆，阐述了这些过往记忆对她教学工作产生的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We knew that our community college students had often had unsuccessful experiences in school, and that what led to fond memories for us, like the smell of crayons or a new blank notebook, would have the opposite effect on them.(我们知道，我们这些社区学院的学生以往在学校的学习经历往往并不顺利，而那些能让我们产生美好回忆的东西，比如蜡笔的气味或者一本崭新的空白笔记本，对他们而言却会产生完全相反的效果)”可知，蜡笔的气味对这位作者的学生们意味着它让他们产生了负面情绪。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One day, in my first kindergarten we came to school in costume. I wore my cowgirl outfit with a blue fringed skirt and vest. As we were skipping in a circle, I yelled “giddy up!” and the teacher told me to be quiet. I still remember thinking it was unfair. How could I be a quiet cowgirl?(有一天，我上的第一所幼儿园，我们穿着各种各样的服装来上学。我穿上了我的牛仔装，搭配着一条蓝色的流苏短裙和一件背心。当我们围成一圈跳着舞时，我大喊“驾！”但老师却让我安静下来。我仍然记得当时心里觉得这不公平。我怎么能是个安静的牛仔女孩呢？)”可知，作者高喊“驾！”的目的是表现得像一个真正的牛仔女郎。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Since we moved in the spring of my kindergarten year, I have had two distinct memories, which were humiliating (丢脸的) and still make me angry.(自从我们在我上幼儿园那年的春天搬家以来，我有两个清晰的记忆，它们让我感到耻辱，至今仍令我生气。)”以及第四段“On the first day at my new school, which was the day after we moved, the teacher had me stand up in front of the class and asked me to share my telephone number and address. I knew neither. I forgot every phone number I had ever had, but not KI7-5622. It has taken me years to be patient with “not knowing” — my own or others.(在我新学校的第一天（也就是我们搬家后的第二天），老师让我在全班同学面前站起来，要求我公布自己的电话号码和住址。我两个都不记得了。我早已忘记了自己曾经拥有过的每一个电话号码，但KI7-5622却记得清清楚楚。我花了多年时间，才学会对“不知道”这个事实保持耐心——无论是自己的还是他人的)”可知，作者至今仍记得 KI7-5622 这件事是为它曾让她感到羞愧。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They were such small incidents, but had such a large impact. I think they have made me a better teacher and coworker.(这些事情虽然都很小，但却产生了巨大的影响。我认为它们使我成为了一名更好的老师和同事)”可知，作者的回忆帮助塑造了她自己的教学理念。 C Science has yet to discover a way to prevent volcanic eruptions, so the early warning signs of volcanic activity are key to keeping people safe. One of the earliest signs that a volcano is becoming active is the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (散发). However, because there is already plenty of carbon dioxide present in the air at any given moment, it makes it difficult for scientists to discover whether or not there has been a volcano-related increase in the atmosphere. Before now, those monitoring volcanoes would have to visit the volcanoes directly in order to measure the output of carbon dioxide. This method of detection is often dangerous, as volcanoes are awfully located in remote areas with difficult land shapes. But how can trees help indicate this increase in carbon dioxide in an easily observable manner? When a volcano begins to prepare for an eruption, the movement of magma (岩浆) through Earth’s crust releases carbon dioxide and other gases. As these gases make their way to the surface, trees slurp up the carbon dioxide and their leaves become greener than before. Thankfully, these changes in tree leaves are easily visible from space. So, by using NASA satellite technology to monitor these observed changes, scientists can be alerted to incoming volcanic activity sooner than other methods like earthquake activity and changes on the ground. “Our research is a two-way interdisciplinary intersection between ecology and volcanology,” said Josh Fisher, climate scientist at Chapman University. “We’re interested not only in tree responses to volcanic carbon dioxide as an early warning of eruption, but also in how much the trees are able to take up, as a window into the future of the Earth when all the Earth’s trees are exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide.” This collaborative study is the first time changes in tree leaf color have been positively correlated to magma-generated carbon dioxide. The method isn’t guaranteed to work every time, however, as factors such as climate and weather conditions determine whether the area surrounding a volcano is suitable for satellite monitoring. 28. What made it challenging for the scientists to monitor volcanoes earlier? A. The inaccessibility of volcanoes. B. The lack of a warning system. C. The insufficiency of carbon dioxide. D. The poison from volcano eruption. 29. What does the underlined part “slurp up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mix up. B. Keep off. C. Take in. D. Settle into. 30. What does Josh Fisher aim to find out through their research? A. The frequency of volcanic eruption. B. The tree species most resistant to high CO2. C. The way to combine ecology with volcanology. D. The condition of future Earth with high CO2. 31. What’s stressed about the new method in the last paragraph? A. It’s premature. B. It has limitations. C. It’s complicated. D. It has high costs. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一种通过卫星监测火山附近树木叶子颜色变化来预警火山活动的新方法，该跨学科研究有助于预警，也为理解全球高二氧化碳环境下的未来提供了视角。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Before now, those monitoring volcanoes would have to visit the volcanoes directly in order to measure the output of carbon dioxide. This method of detection is often dangerous, as volcanoes are awfully located in remote areas with difficult land shapes. (在此之前，监测火山的人必须亲自前往火山以测量二氧化碳的排放量。这种检测方法通常很危险，因为火山位置极其偏远且地形复杂。)”可知，之前科学家监测火山面临的挑战在于火山难以接近。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语的上文“As these gases make their way to the surface (当这些气体到达地表时)”和下文“their leaves become greener than before (它们的叶子会变得比以前更绿)”可知，该短语描述火山释放的二氧化碳气体到达地表后，树木对其的反应，再结合常识可知，树木吸收了二氧化碳（光合作用的原料），才导致叶子变得更绿。因此，画线短语应表示“吸收，摄取”的意思，与Take in“吸收”意思接近。A. Mix up混淆；B. Keep off避开；D. Settle into适应。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中Josh Fisher所说的话“We’re interested not only in tree responses to volcanic carbon dioxide as an early warning of eruption, but also in how much the trees are able to take up, as a window into the future of the Earth when all the Earth’s trees are exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide. (我们不仅对树木对火山二氧化碳的反应（作为喷发的早期预警）感兴趣，也对树木能吸收多少二氧化碳感兴趣，这可以作为一扇窗口，窥见地球上所有树木都暴露在高浓度二氧化碳下的未来地球的状况。)”可知，Josh Fisher希望通过研究发现未来地球在高二氧化碳条件下的状况。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The method isn’t guaranteed to work every time, however, as factors such as climate and weather conditions determine whether the area surrounding a volcano is suitable for satellite monitoring. (然而，该方法并不能保证每次都能奏效，因为气候和天气条件等因素决定了火山周围区域是否适合卫星监测。)”可知，这里强调了这一新方法存在局限性。 D One of the most surprising facts about ants is that most species don’t have leaders in any meaningful sense. You may ask, “But what about the queen?” Sure, queens exist, but their role is reproduction, not management. A queen doesn’t direct workers, assign tasks, or make strategic decisions. Not only is there no leader barking orders, but workers don’t issue commands to one another, either. Each ant operates based on local information and simple behavioral signals. Despite this, ant groups can perform tasks that seem well-coordinated by design. They find the shortest path to food. They adjust routes when obstacles appear. They allocate more workers to rich food sources and abandon poor ones. They even regulate traffic flow on busy trails to prevent overcrowding. Scientists refer to this as self-organization. Order emerges as a result of many small interactions, not from top-down control. The glue holding this system together is pheromones (信息素). Put broadly, pheromones are chemical substances that animals release to influence the behavior of others of the same species. Ants produce many different pheromones, each serving a specific purpose. Some signal alarm, others mark territory, and others indicate food sources. When an ant finds food, it often lays down a pheromone trail as it returns to the nest. But this trail isn’t just a simple line that says: food here. It contains layered information. Other ants can “read” a trail’s strength, freshness, and chemical makeup, allowing them to infer things like how many ants have used it, how recently, and whether it was laid after a successful find. Ants interpret these pheromone trails using highly sensitive antennae (触角) that allow them to detect extremely small amounts of these chemicals. By touching the ground with their antennae as they walk, ants continuously sample the chemical landscape around them — like reading Braille with one’s fingertips. In the most simplistic terms, if a trail is worth following, the ants will lay down pheromones that say so; if it isn’t, they won’t. In this way, the ants essentially vote where to invest their labor. 32. How do ants behave in search of food? A. They each perform their assigned tasks. B. They interact with each other frequently. C. They obey the queen’s commands strictly. D. They follow the decision of their leader. 33. What information can ants get from a pheromone trail? A. The existence of food. B. The number of their enemies. C. The harm of chemicals. D. The location of their nest. 34. Why does the author mention Braille in the fourth paragraph? A. To define a new concept. B. To draw an appropriate conclusion. C. To provide the background. D. To enhance clarity by comparing. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Chemical properties of pheromones. B. Ants’ food-seeking strategies. C. Ants’ self-organization ability. D. Ant queens’ leadership. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了蚂蚁在没有领导者的情况下，通过信息素和自组织能力实现高效协作的行为。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A queen doesn’t direct workers, assign tasks, or make strategic decisions. Not only is there no leader barking orders, but workers don’t issue commands to one another, either. Each ant operates based on local information and simple behavioral signals. (蚁后不指挥工蚁、不分配任务，也不制定战略决策。不仅没有发号施令的领导者，工蚁之间也不会互相下达命令。每只蚂蚁都依据局部信息和简单的行为信号来行动)”以及第二段中“They find the shortest path to food. They adjust routes when obstacles appear. They allocate more workers to rich food sources and abandon poor ones. They even regulate traffic flow on busy trails to prevent overcrowding. Scientists refer to this as self-organization. Order emerges as a result of many small interactions, not from top-down control. The glue holding this system together is pheromones (信息素). (它们能找到通往食物的最短路径；在出现障碍物时调整路线；将更多的工蚁分配到丰富的食物源，并放弃贫瘠的；甚至在繁忙的路径上调节交通流量，以防止拥堵。科学家将这种现象称为“自组织”。秩序是许多微小互动产生的，而非来自自上而下的控制。维系这个系统的粘合剂是信息素)”可知，蚁群中没有指挥、不分配任务，也不制定战略决策，它们是通过频繁的互动来协作，也是通过这种方式来寻找食物。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When an ant finds food, it often lays down a pheromone trail as it returns to the nest. But this trail isn’t just a simple line that says: food here. (当一只蚂蚁找到食物时，它常常在返回巢穴的途中留下信息素轨迹。但这条轨迹不仅仅是简单的一条线，写着：这里有食物)”以及“Other ants can “read” a trail’s strength, freshness, and chemical makeup, allowing them to infer things like how many ants have used it, how recently, and whether it was laid after a successful find. (其他蚂蚁可以“解读”轨迹的强度、新鲜度和化学成分，从而推断出有多少蚂蚁使用过它、使用的时间有多近，以及它是否是在成功觅食后留下的)”可知，蚂蚁可以从信息素轨迹中获取食物存在的信息。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“By touching the ground with their antennae as they walk, ants continuously sample the chemical landscape around them — like reading Braille with one’s fingertips. (蚂蚁在行走时用触角接触地面，持续采样周围的化学环境——就像用手指触摸阅读盲文一样)”可知，作者将蚂蚁用触角探测信息素比作用手指触摸阅读盲文，这是通过对比来让作者的意思变得清晰易懂。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“One of the most surprising facts about ants is that most species don’t have leaders in any meaningful sense.(关于蚂蚁，最令人惊讶的事实之一是，大多数物种都不存在任何真正意义上的“领导者”)”和第二段“Despite this, ant groups can perform tasks that seem well-coordinated by design. ... Scientists refer to this as self-organization. Order emerges as a result of many small interactions, not from top-down control. (尽管如此，蚂蚁群体却能执行看似精心协调的任务。……科学家将此称为“自组织”。秩序是许多微小互动的结果，而非自上而下的控制)”可知，文章第一段指出蚂蚁没有领导者，第二段介绍蚂蚁通过自组织完成协调任务，第三、四段详细解释信息素的作用机制，第五段总结。因此，本文主要讲述的是蚂蚁的自组织能力。 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。 On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. ____36____ When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. ____37____ Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. ____38____ Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. ____39____ At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” ____40____ In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A. Still, he never stopped. B. The process was difficult and cold. C. Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D. Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E. Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F. He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G. This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了Wilson Bentley从15岁迷恋雪花开始，通过自制设备拍摄世界上首张雪花显微照片，并克服严寒与技术困难持续研究多年，最终其成果获得认可。 【36题详解】 上文“On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. (在Wilson Bentley 15岁生日那天，他的母亲送给他一台旧显微镜。那天正在下雪，这个男孩用这台仪器成功地看到了一个六边形的雪花。)”讲述Bentley在15岁生日时首次用显微镜看到六边形雪花，下文“When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. (在他17岁那年，Bentley请求父母给他买一台新的、更好的显微镜以及一台相机。)”提到他在17岁时想要更好的显微镜和相机，因此G项“This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. (这是他终生迷恋雪花的开端。)”符合语境，指出首次看到雪花的经历对他产生了深远影响，承上启下。 【37题详解】 下文“Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. (在户外，他将雪花收集在一块涂成黑色的木托盘里。回到室内后，尽管仍戴着大手套以保持双手温暖，他还是用一根吸管将雪花吸起，并将其放在显微镜载玻片上。然后，他小心翼翼地避免对着雪花哈气，迅速对其进行观察并拍照。)”详细描述他在户外收集雪花、用吸管移动雪花、小心避免呼吸影响等细节，因此B项“The process was difficult and cold. (这个过程既困难又寒冷。)”符合语境，可作为段首句概括这一段的主题，统领下文。 【38题详解】 上文“Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. (Bentley在楼梯下的一间暗室里冲洗这些感光板，然后把感光板拿到附近的小溪里冲洗。)”描述他冲洗感光板的方法和过程，因此C项“Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. (有时他在黑暗中夜间进行。)”符合语境，补充说明他冲洗感光板的另一方法，和上文是并列关系。 【39题详解】 上文“Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. (有时，他会感到有些沮丧，因为似乎很少有人关心他的工作。)”提到他有时会沮丧，下文“At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. (在65岁那年，他拍摄了自己第5000片雪花的照片。)”表明他仍坚持着这项热爱，因此A项“Still, he never stopped. (尽管如此，他从未停止。)”符合语境，和上文构成转折，衔接下文的坚持。 【40题详解】 上文“Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” (渐渐地，人们开始对他产生了兴趣。记者们有时会来到他家门前。人们开始称他为“雪花先生”和“Bentley教授”。)”指出他受到关注，并列举具体事例佐证，因此D项“Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. (珠宝制造商仿制雪花设计。)”符合语境，说明他的工作启发了艺术和商业领域，和上文的事例并列，句式相仿，共同支撑段首提到的关注。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I started working with Apex Solutions shortly after graduation.

With his big brown eyes and boundless energy, he’s the kind of kid who spots a bird’s nest in a tree or a lost glove on the sidewalk. So, it wasn’t surprising when, one sunny afternoon, he overheard our elderly neighbor, Mrs. Patterson, chatting with the mailman about her upcoming birthday. Mrs. Patterson, a quiet figure who tends her garden alone, lives a few houses down, rarely engaging with the neighborhood. But Leo’s ears perked (竖起) up, and he turned to me with a sense of urgency. “Mom, we have to do something for Mrs. Patterson,” he said in excitement. I was a bit unsure. We’d never been close to Mrs. Patterson — she kept to herself, her curtains often drawn, and I wasn’t certain if she’d welcome a surprise. But Leo wouldn’t let it go. “Everyone deserves a birthday cake,” he insisted. How could I say no to that sweet logic? His big heart was set on making her day special, and I couldn’t resist his infectious enthusiasm. So we dove into action — a homemade surprise with love. In our small kitchen, we made a chocolate cake — simple, a little lopsided from Leo’s eager stirring (搅动), but packed with love. When it was baked, he grabbed his crayons and crafted a birthday card, drawing a bright sun and stick figures of the three of us — him, me, and Mrs. Patterson — holding hands under it. The smell of warm chocolate filled the air, and by late afternoon, with the cake cooled and the card signed, we were ready. Just before dinner, we marched over, Leo holding the plate cautiously, his face lit up with anticipation. We knocked on Mrs. Patterson’s door, the sound echoing (回荡) in the quiet street. At first, there was silence — Leo moved his feet nervously, his smile turning into disappointment. 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。 I was about to suggest we leave when the door opened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She opened the door wide and invited us to come in. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I was about to suggest we leave when the door opened. There stood Mrs. Patterson, her slim body trembling slightly. She stared at the cake. “Is that… for me?” she asked in a whisper. Leo nodded eagerly and held out the card. “We made you a birthday cake! I drew the sun because you like gardening.” She took the card with shaky fingers, and as she read the simple message — “Happy Birthday, Mrs. Patterson! From Leo & Mom”, a tear rolled down her cheek. “No one has remembered my birthday in years,” she said softly. She opened the door wide and invited us to come in. Inside, we found her living room was very tidy. As Leo chattered about school and birds, Mrs. Patterson’s face brightened. She lit a candle from her kitchen drawer, and asked Leo to blow it out with her and make a wish. “What did you wish for?” Mrs. Patterson asked. “More birthdays with you!” he smiled. Mrs. Patterson laughed, hugging Leo tightly. I learned that day sometimes, the smallest act of kindness, born from a child’s noticing heart, can light up the loneliest corner and remind us of the warmth of human connection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以生日惊喜为线索展开，讲述了“我”八岁的儿子Leo心思细腻，得知独居邻居Patterson夫人即将过生日，便提议为她庆祝。尽管“我”因与邻居不熟而犹豫，Leo仍坚持亲手制作蛋糕和贺卡送去。Patterson夫人深受感动，坦言多年无人记得其生日，并邀请“我们”进屋共度温馨时光。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Patterson夫人看到“我们”准备的东西，出声询问，Leo送出准备的东西，Patterson夫人感动落泪。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Patterson夫人在“我们”的陪伴下吹蜡烛许愿，对Leo表达感谢，“我”从中感受到Leo的敏锐和善良带来的巨大影响。 2. 续写线索：门打开——Patterson夫人的反应——Leo送礼物，Patterson夫人感动——Patterson夫人邀请进屋——Patterson夫人在陪伴下过生日——“我”的感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①盯着看：stare at/gaze at ②提问：ask/query 情绪类 ①热切地：eagerly/avidly/enthusiastically ②露出喜色：brighten/light up/lighten 【点睛】[高分句型1] There stood Mrs. Patterson, her slim body trembling slightly.

I was a director of labor relations for a big company ten years ago, and I should have been happy. I had everything that I thought I wanted, but going into work every day took away a bit of myself.

Then one day, walking through a children's bookstore, IT hit me. I loved these books. I gathered an armful of books and said, this is what I want to do. And since then, I have treated writing like a full time job. I wrote over twenty stories in the next year, and most of them got sent back with letters saying they were not good enough. But I didn't give up. When I worked in the company, I worked sixty hour weeks because I had to. Now I sixty hour weeks because I love IT.
