Today, the book club has over 150 active members. It focuses on reading, sharing and discussing poetry. No matter what form of poetry you might be interested in, whether it is shorter poems or longer anthologies(选集), Poetry Talk is a place where you can meet others who also share an interest in poetry. Book club meetings happen every two weeks on a Wednesday evening, are held online, and always welcome new members. The Living Poets Society Poetry Book Club Run out of Boulder Bookstore, it is a book club where members discuss a shared book of poetry. People who are interested in poetry and connecting with individuals who also enjoy reading and having conversations about poetry are welcome. Book club meetings take place online on the second Tuesday of every month. The club has looked at Constellation Route by Matthew Olzmann and Luxury by Philip Schultz. And the latter is the first one the club has shared. Books to Change Your Life Chicago Book Club The book club has been active since 2020 and now has over 1,000 active participants who read and discuss a range of different books, including poetry. In addition to enjoying engaging and insightful discussions about poetry, book club members can get to learn more about books of other genres(类型), including economics, philosophy and classic literature. Book club meetings are held online and take place weekly on Mondays. The poetry the club has read includes Homer’s classic The Odyssey. Poetry Meetup It is a great place for anyone interested in reading, talking about, or even performing poetry. Book club meetings are usually held once a month. Specific dates and locations of book club meetings are available on its Meetup. com web page. The Sea and The Mirro by W. H. Auden and St. Sebastien by Dali are two poems that book club meetings at Poetry Meetup have gone over. 1. Whose poem was shared by The Living Poets Society Poetry Book Club first? A. Tim Burris’s. B.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个诗歌俱乐部的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Living Poets Society Poetry Book Club部分中的“The club has looked at Constellation Route by Matthew Olzmann and Luxury by Philip Schultz. And the latter is the first one the club has shared.(俱乐部看过马修·奥尔兹曼（Matthew Olzmann）的《星座路线》（Constellation Route）和菲利普·舒尔茨（Philip Schultz）的《奢侈品》（Luxury ）。后者是俱乐部分享的第一个。)”可知，首先分享的是Philip Schultz的诗歌。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Books to Change Your Life Chicago Book Club部分中的“In addition to enjoying engaging and insightful discussions about poetry, book club members can get to learn more about books of other genres(类型), including economics, philosophy and classic literature.(除了享受关于诗歌的引人入胜和有见地的讨论外，读书俱乐部成员还可以更多地了解其他类型的书籍，包括经济学、哲学和古典文学。)”可知，Books to Change Your Life Chicago Book Club的成员可以在俱乐部中谈论不止一种类型的书籍。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据其他三个诗歌俱乐部的介绍中的关键词online(线上)以及Poetry Meetup部分中的“Book club meetings are usually held once a month. Specific dates and locations of book club meetings are available on its Meetup. com web page.(读书俱乐部会议通常每月举行一次。会议的具体日期和地点可在其Meetup. com web找到。)”可推断，Poetry Meetup与其他三个诗歌俱乐部的不同之处是它的成员是线下聚会。故选C项。 B My wife works while I stay at home and take care of our two kids and Wendell, an energetic dog. He loved to run but had to settle for our kids’ slow walks until it hit me: I could build a dog wagon (拉车). A few days later, I transformed our old jogging stroller into a two-seat dog wagon with a screwdriver. Now when Wendell sees me pick up his harness (牵引带) I built from old leather belts, he races to the door, eager to pull the kids around the town at a pace that thrills us all. When I left my law career four years ago, it was a promise to my children: I may not be able to buy you as many things, but you will know your father. So when we noticed a few inches of water had frozen in a deserted lot, we grabbed our ice skates and made it our own private rink. When my 5-year-old daughter became obsessed with ancient Egypt, we turned pizza boxes into pyramids. When my 2-year-old son wanted to be RoboCop for Halloween, I made his costume from recycled bottles and pieced his mask together from an old bike helmet and a wash bucket. Creativity rubs off. Not long ago, my daughter asked me to build her a horse, and I made sure she was part of every step of the process that didn’t involve power tools. She helped build her wooden toy horse from start to finish — drawing the design, then painting the final coat. Something that previously existed only in her imagination became a toy she could ride. Every project we finish feels like the fulfillment of a promise — it’s not the things we create that matter but the time we spend creating things together. 4. Why did the author build a dog wagon? A. To improve his craft building skills. B. To meet the exercise need of his dog. C. To recycle the broken jogging stroller. D. To provide a safer transport for the children. 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s parenting style? A. Imaginative and hands-on. B. Traditional and safety-centered. C. Encouraging and play-based. D. Adventurous and talent-focused 6. What does the underlined sentence “Creativity rubs off." in the last paragraph mean? A. Creativity lies in imagination. B. Creativity calls for observation C. Creativity originates from daily life. D. Creativity spreads through interaction, 7. What does the text seem to advocate? A. Valuing quality family time with children. B. Replacing store-bought toys with DIY projects. C. Balancing a career with parenting responsibilities. D. Adapting available resources to meet family needs. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍作者辞去律师工作后，通过自制物品陪伴孩子，重视与孩子共度的时光。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He loved to run but had to settle for our kids’ slow walks until it hit me: I could build a dog wagon (拉车).(它喜欢奔跑，但不得不满足于我们孩子的慢走，直到我突然想到：我可以做一辆狗拉车。)”可知，作者做狗拉车是为了满足狗的锻炼需求。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“So when we noticed a few inches of water had frozen in a deserted lot, we grabbed our ice skates and made it our own private rink. When my 5-year-old daughter became obsessed with ancient Egypt, we turned pizza boxes into pyramids. When my 2-year-old son wanted to be RoboCop for Halloween, I made his costume from recycled bottles and pieced his mask together from an old bike helmet and a wash bucket.(所以当我们注意到一块空地上有几英寸的水结冰时，我们抓起溜冰鞋，把它变成了我们自己的私人溜冰场。当我5岁的女儿痴迷于古埃及的时候，我们把披萨盒变成了金字塔。当我2岁的儿子万圣节想成为机械战警时，我用回收的瓶子做了他的服装，用旧自行车头盔和洗衣桶拼凑了他的面具。)”可知，作者的育儿方式是富有想象力且亲自动手的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Not long ago, my daughter asked me to build her a horse, and I made sure she was part of every step of the process that didn’t involve power tools. She helped build her wooden toy horse from start to finish - drawing the design, then painting the final coat. Something that previously existed only in her imagination became a toy she could ride.(不久前，我女儿让我给她做一匹马，我确保她参与了不涉及电动工具的每一个步骤。她从头到尾帮助制作她的木制玩具马——绘制设计图，然后涂上最后一层漆。以前只存在于她想象中的东西变成了她可以骑的玩具。)”可知，作者让女儿参与到不涉及电动工具的每一步，最终以前只存在于她想象中的东西变成了她可以骑的玩具，由此可知，划线句子“Creativity rubs off.”意为“创造力通过互动传播”符合语境。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Every project we finish feels like the fulfillment of a promise — it’s not the things we create that matter but the time we spend creating things together.(我们完成的每一个项目都像是一个承诺的实现——重要的不是我们创造的东西，而是我们一起创造东西的时间。)”可知，文章似乎倡导重视与孩子的优质家庭时光。故选A项。 C Leafy vegetables are widely considered to be a healthy and tasty food choice, and eating enough leafy greens supports overall health. Now “Dinosaur time” is a popular online trend (趋势) that is helping all kinds of people, from busy moms to picky kids, get the leafy greens their bodies need. The trend originated with Amy Garrett, a former middle school science teacher and stay-at-home mom, who shared her unusual way to eat vegetables with her nearly 50,000 followers. In her videos, she eats leafy greens without preparing them or putting them in a salad. Instead, she eats them like a dinosaur, often with dinosaur-related music playing in the background. Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses “Dinosaur time” to add vegetables before her lunch. It isn’t just adults getting inspired by “Dinosaur time”. Young children naturally enjoy pretending to be dinosaurs and parents are taking advantage of their little ones’ imaginations to encourage them to eat more healthily, using this fun trend. Alexis Chase, a mom of two, shared that after her 12-year-old saw her trying “Dinosaur time”, he said, “I believe I can eat those vegetables faster than you.” And she replied, “No, you can’t.” In this way, her family is encouraged to eat their vegetables. While this trend is great, people who’re at risk of kidney stones (肾结石) should be careful, and those who’re on blood thinners should ask their doctors for advice before changing their diet. Eating vegetables is a time-tested way to get nutrients (营养物) fast. 8. What is the main purpose of “Dinosaur time”? A. To promote vegetable sales. B. To teach dinosaur knowledge. C. To attract social media followers. D. To help people eat greens more easily. 9. What is the advantage of “Dinosaur time” over salads? A. It provides more nutrients. B. It costs less money. C. It requires less time. D. It tastes better. 10. How does Alexis Chase encourage her child? A. By creating competition. B. By setting examples. C. By offering awards. D. By making rules. 11. What can be inferred about the “Dinosaur time” trend from the last paragraph? A. It helps to treat diseases. B. It isn’t suitable for everyone. C. It needs special preparation. D. It is well accepted globally. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍网红“恐龙时刻”趣味吃菜风潮，该吃法省时便捷，能带动大人孩子主动吃绿叶菜，但并非适合所有人群。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now ‘Dinosaur time’ is a popular online trend that is helping all kinds of people, from busy moms to picky kids, get the leafy greens their bodies need. (如今，‘恐龙时刻’成为热门网络风潮，帮助忙碌的家长、挑食的孩子等各类人群摄入身体所需的绿叶菜。)”及第三段“Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses ‘Dinosaur time’ to add vegetables before her lunch. (许多人想要吃得健康，却没时间切菜和准备蔬菜，加勒特的视频深受这类人群喜爱。她在视频中表示，制作和食用沙拉十分耗时。她不会把沙拉当作正餐，而是借着‘恐龙时刻’在午餐前补充蔬菜。)”可知，“恐龙时刻”的作用是帮助各类人群获取身体需要的绿叶菜，结合它不需要提前准备蔬菜的特点，可知它的核心目的是帮助人们更轻松地吃绿叶菜。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses ‘Dinosaur time’ to add vegetables before her lunch. (许多人想要吃得健康，却没时间切菜和准备蔬菜，加勒特的视频深受这类人群喜爱。她在视频中表示，制作和食用沙拉十分耗时。她不会把沙拉当作正餐，而是借着‘恐龙时刻’在午餐前补充蔬菜。)”可知，沙拉制作和食用都很耗时，“恐龙时刻”不需要提前处理准备蔬菜，对比沙拉的优势是耗时更少。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Alexis Chase, a mom of two, shared that after her 12-year-old saw her trying ‘Dinosaur time’, he said, ‘I believe I can eat those vegetables faster than you.’ And she replied, ‘No, you can’t.’ In this way, her family is encouraged to eat their vegetables.(两位孩子的母亲亚历克西斯・蔡斯分享，十二岁的儿子看到她尝试恐龙吃法后，直言自己吃菜速度能超过妈妈，母亲随即应战比拼，以此带动全家主动吃蔬菜。)”可知，孩子提出要和亚历克西斯比赛谁吃菜更快，亚历克西斯通过回应激发了孩子的好胜心，是靠制造竞争鼓励孩子吃菜。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While this trend is great, people who’re at risk of kidney stones should be careful, and those who’re on blood thinners should ask their doctors for advice before changing their diet. (这种吃法虽益处颇多，但肾结石高危人群需谨慎尝试，服用抗凝药物的人群调整饮食前务必咨询医生。)”可知，有肾结石风险的人群需要谨慎，服用抗凝剂的人群需要先咨询医生，说明这个潮流并不适合所有人。 D New research led by Brian Meier, a professor of psychology, provides convincing evidence of humans’ deep-seated preference for products labeled as “natural”, demonstrating how this bias (偏见) significantly influences real-world decision-making even when potential risks are involved. Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields. However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios (假设情景), leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore, Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants’ choices and performances in different contexts. The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic (合成的). When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a strength test, an overwhelming 84% selected the natural-labeled drink, despite both being identical water samples. In the second experiment, 98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa, with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort. Remarkably, 84% still chose the natural option, maintaining their preference even when facing possible negative effects. The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory settings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street. Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink, then selected one to keep. Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers, which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than the synthetic ones. “The vast majority of subjects exhibited a clear behavioral preference that was influenced solely by the ‘natural’ label across all three experimental contexts,” Meier stated. The research, which spanned diverse settings and product categories, yielded remarkably consistent results, strongly confirming the profound impact of naturalness branding on consumer decision-making. Based on these convincing findings, Meier and his research team have outlined several promising avenues for further investigation. Their future work aims to dive deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this “naturalness bias”, unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and public policy making. 12. How did Brian Meier’s research differ from earlier studies on naturalness bias? A. It explored completely new fields. B. It repeated experiments for accuracy. C. It tested people in real-life situations. D. It focused more on data comparison. 13. What can be inferred from the three experiments? A. Risks lower the preference. B. The bias depends on product type. C. The synthetic option tasted better. D. The bias works despite no real difference. 14. What is a possible future research direction for the team? A. Behavioral bias. B. Consumer behavior. C. Product labeling strategies. D. Hidden psychological mechanisms. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. The Power of “Natural”: How Labels Shape Our Decisions B. The Risks of Natural Products: A Psychological Analysis C. Natural VS Synthetic: Consumer Choices in Everyday Life D. Beyond the Label: New Research in Consumer Psychology 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍心理学教授布莱恩·迈尔团队开展的天然性偏见研究，通过三组实验证实该偏见影响人们实际决策，还介绍了研究的后续探索方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields. However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios (假设情景), leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore, Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants’ choices and performances in different contexts.(此前的研究表明，这种偏见存在于各个领域。然而，其中许多研究依赖于假设情景下的自我报告偏好，这使得我们在理解这种偏见如何影响实际行为方面存在空白。因此，布莱恩和他的同事进行了三组实验，在不同情境下测试参与者的选择和表现。)”可知，早期研究依赖假设情景的自我报告，而布莱恩·迈尔的研究在不同实际情境中测试参与者行为，是在真实生活相关场景中开展测试，这是二者的核心不同。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic (合成的). When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a strength test, an overwhelming 84% selected the natural-labeled drink, despite both being identical water samples. (第一个实验有174名大学生参与，他们被引导认为自己在测试一种标有天然或合成标签的增能饮料。在重复力量测试前被要求在两种选择中做出抉择时，尽管两种样本都是完全相同的水，仍有高达84%的人选择了标有天然标签的饮料。)”、第四段中的“In the second experiment, 98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa, with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort. Remarkably, 84% still chose the natural option, maintaining their preference even when facing possible negative effects.(第二个实验中，研究人员为98名学生提供了标有含天然可可或合成可可的巧克力，并提及可能引发胃部不适加入了风险因素。值得注意的是，仍有84%的人选择了天然选项，即便面临可能的负面影响仍保持这一偏好。)”和第五段中的“The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory settings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street. Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink, then selected one to keep. Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers, which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than the synthetic ones.(第三个实验将研究范围拓展到实验室之外，在街头对近200名路人展开调查。参与者对标有使用天然墨水或合成墨水的贴纸进行评价，然后选择一张留存。结果显示，66%的人更喜欢标有天然标签的贴纸，他们还认为这些贴纸比合成墨水的贴纸质量更高、更有吸引力。)”可知，三组实验里天然和合成标注的产品本身无实质差异，甚至有实验加入风险因素，人们却仍偏向选择天然标签产品，可见这种偏见即便在产品无实际差别的情况下依然发挥作用。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Based on these convincing findings, Meier and his research team have outlined several promising avenues for further investigation. Their future work aims to dive deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this “naturalness bias”, unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and public policy making. (基于这些令人信服的研究结果，迈尔和其研究团队规划出了数个极具前景的深入研究方向。他们未来的研究旨在更深入地探究这种“天然性偏见”背后的认知和情感机制，挖掘其在策略性营销和公共政策制定方面的潜在应用价值。)”可知，该团队未来的研究方向之一是深入探究天然性偏见背后隐藏的认知和情感等心理机制。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“New research led by Brian Meier, a professor of psychology, provides convincing evidence of humans’ deep-seated preference for products labeled as “natural”, demonstrating how this bias (偏见) significantly influences real-world decision-making even when potential risks are involved. (心理学教授布莱恩·迈尔主导的一项新研究提供了令人信服的证据，证实人类对贴有“天然”标签的产品有着根深蒂固的偏好，并揭示了这种偏见如何在现实世界中显著影响人们的决策，即便其中存在潜在风险。)”以及全文围绕该研究的实验设计、结果和结论的阐述可知，文章核心围绕“天然”标签展开，说明其拥有影响人们消费决策的强大力量，因此“The Power of “Natural”: How Labels Shape Our Decisions(“天然” 的力量：标签如何影响我们的决策)”能精准概括全文核心，适合作为标题。故选A项。 第二节 七选五（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。 Curiosity is defined as the“desire to know”, but many people don’t realize it ranges from shallow to deep. ____16____ It’s the kind of questioning that helps us to collect data and information. We use it to learn facts. ____17____ It’s not just about facts, but about unknown stories. When we use it to learn about other people, we get a rich insight into their core values and life experiences. Instead of a simple question like “What do you do for work?”, we ask, “What kind of work makes you come alive, and why?” One type of curiosity is not necessarily better than the other. They’re just different with benefits and learning from both. ____18____ You wouldn’t ask a new classmate suddenly and unexpectedly, “What’s your biggest childhood trauma (创伤)?” While some of us might be willing to share so openly, others may not find the question appropriate, especially before trust and closeness have been built. ____19____ People with higher levels of curiosity tend to be happier. It also strengthens our relationships — whether with our classmates, friends, or strangers. A study found that when people show genuine curiosity towards another person, they’re rated as warmer and more attractive. It creates that “give-and-take spiral”; when we ask questions, others are more likely to return the favour. While curiosity is usually regarded as a way to learn about what’s outside of ourselves, such as better understanding someone, it can actually be channeled in other ways, too. It helps us understand ourselves, and reflect on our beliefs, desires, or needs. ____20____ A. Curiosity offers a variety of benefits. B. It’s time to employ curiosity’s power. C. Thus shallow curiosity is a gateway to a deeper world. D. However, which you use might depend on the situation. E. What you may be more familiar with is shallow curiosity. F. Deep curiosity, in contrast, invites us to go beneath the surface. G. It can even be directed to explore what’s beyond the physical world. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了好奇心的定义、作用以及好处。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Curiosity is defined as the “desire to know”, but many people don’t realize it ranges from shallow to deep.(好奇心被定义为“求知的欲望”，但许多人没有意识到它有浅有深)”以及后文“It’s the kind of questioning that helps us to collect data and information. We use it to learn facts.(这是一种帮助我们收集数据和信息的问题。我们用它来学习事实)”可知，本句主要是在介绍好奇心深浅中的一种。故E选项“你可能更熟悉的是浅薄的好奇心”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据后文“It’s not just about facts, but about unknown stories. When we use it to learn about other people, we get a rich insight into their core values and life experiences. Instead of a simple question like “What do you do for work?”, we ask, “What kind of work makes you come alive, and why?”(不仅仅是事实，还有未知的故事。当我们用它来了解他人时，我们对他们的核心价值观和生活经历有了丰富的了解。而不是像“你做什么工作？”，我们会问:“什么样的工作能让你充满活力？为什么？”)”可知，后文主要介绍了深层次的好奇心。故F选项“相反，强烈的好奇心邀请我们深入到表面之下”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“One type of curiosity is not necessarily better than the other. They’re just different with benefits and learning from both.(一种好奇心不一定比另一种好。它们只是在好处和学习方面有所不同)”以及后文“You wouldn’t ask a new classmate suddenly and unexpectedly, “What’s your biggest childhood trauma (创伤)?” While some of us might be willing to share so openly, others may not find the question appropriate, especially before trust and closeness have been built.(你不会突然出乎意料地问新同学：“你童年最大的创伤是什么？”虽然我们中的一些人可能愿意如此公开地分享，但其他人可能会觉得这个问题不合适，尤其是在建立信任和亲密关系之前)”可知，后文的例子表明好奇心的使用需要视情况而定。故D选项“然而，你使用哪一种可能取决于具体情况”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“People with higher levels of curiosity tend to be happier. It also strengthens our relationships — whether with our classmates, friends, or strangers. A study found that when people show genuine curiosity towards another person, they’re rated as warmer and more attractive. It creates that “give-and-take spiral”; when we ask questions, others are more likely to return the favour.(好奇心高的人往往更快乐。它还加强了我们与同学、朋友或陌生人的关系。一项研究发现，当人们对另一个人表现出真正的好奇时，他们会被认为更温暖、更有吸引力。它创造了一种“相互让步的螺旋”；当我们提出问题时，其他人更有可能给予回报)”可知，本段的主旨是好奇心的好处。故A选项“好奇心有很多好处”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“While curiosity is usually regarded as a way to learn about what’s outside of ourselves, such as better understanding someone, it can actually be channeled in other ways, too. It helps us understand ourselves, and reflect on our beliefs, desires, or needs.(虽然好奇心通常被认为是一种了解我们自身之外的东西的方式，比如更好地了解某人，但它实际上也可以通过其他方式来引导。它帮助我们了解自己，并反思我们的信仰、欲望或需求)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，承接上文，继续说明好奇心的作用。故G选项“它甚至可以用来探索物质世界之外的世界”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节；满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The players on the Academy basketball team knew something was wrong.

His backpack felt heavy with a pair of gloves, a small handheld grass trimmer (割草机), and a pair of pruning shears (修枝剪) — tools he had saved up for months to buy. As a high school freshman, Keonte had posted part-time job advertisements online to save for a computer, which would allow him to join the school programming club. When he arrived, Mrs Carter hurried to her car. “The yard’s all yours — pull out the wild plants, trim the bushes, and cut the grass,” she said, handing him the key. Keonte nodded and thanked her, unlocked the gate and stepped in. He put down his backpack, and began pulling up the thick wild plants at the edge of the garden. The sun warmed his back while he sang softly and worked. He imagined how his growing savings would soon help him buy a computer. Suddenly, a loud voice broke the quiet: “Put down your tools! Hands on your head! Squat (蹲) down now!” Keonte froze. A police officer stood at the gate. Keonte’s heart raced, and he quickly dropped the grass trimmer, raised his hands, and squatted as ordered. The officer’s uniform was neat, and his nametag read “Steven”. “What are you doing here?” Officer Steven asked firmly. Keonte swallowed hard and explained, “I’m Keonte Evans. Mrs Carter hired me to clean her yard — she just left.” The officer’s serious face softened a little. “Her neighbor called, thinking you were a thief since the owner wasn’t home,” he said. During their subsequent conversation, Keonte told Steven about his part-time jobs, and his dream of joining the programming club. Officer Steven nodded, looking impressed. He checked with Mrs Carter to confirm Keonte’s story, and everything turned out to be correct. “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, Keonte. You’re a hardworking kid,” he said, helping the teen stand up. Before leaving, he smiled widely and said, “I’ll give you a call soon.” Keonte watched him drive away, wondering what the officer meant. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Three days later, Keonte received a call from Steven. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: However, Steven paid Keonte more than the agreed amount. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Paragraph 1: Three days later, Keonte received a call from Steven. Steven explained that his own yard needed tidying up and asked if Keonte would be interested in the job. Delighted, Keonte agreed. He wrote down Steven’s address and confirmed the time. They agreed on the payment as well. On the appointed day, Keonte arrived on time at Steven’s house with his tools. He worked hard under the sun, mowing the lawn, trimming the hedges, and clearing all the fallen leaves. After he finished, Steven thanked him sincerely for his tidy work, and immediately transferred the payment to Keonte. However, Steven paid Keonte more than the agreed amount. Thinking it was a mistake, Keonte politely pointed it out to Steven. But the officer smiled and shook his head. “It’s not a mistake,” he said kindly. “I admire your hard work and independence. The extra is to help you save for a computer.” Overwhelmed with gratitude, Keonte thanked him repeatedly, his eyes bright with hope. In the following weeks, Steven introduced Keonte to several neighbors who needed gardening help. Before long, thanks to these steady jobs, Keonte saved enough to buy his own computer, making his dream a reality. 【解析】 【导语】本文人物为线索展开，讲述高中生基翁特为购置电脑、加入学校编程俱乐部，兼职打理庭院，劳作时遭邻居误会报警，经警官史蒂文核实澄清，警官临别留下神秘承诺的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可描写史蒂文致电的缘由，邀请基翁特为自己打理庭院，基翁特欣然应允，按时上门认真完成园艺工作，完工后史蒂文当即结算酬劳。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可描写基翁特发现薪资超额并主动提出质疑，史蒂文说明额外酬劳是对他勤奋独立的鼓励，还为他介绍更多工作，最终助力他圆梦购置电脑。 2. 续写线索 警官致电邀请打理庭院——基翁特认真完成工作——薪资超额引发疑惑——警官善意解释、给予鼓励——介绍更多兼职机会——基翁特攒够资金、实现梦想 3.词类激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②认为：think/consider/regard ③欣赏：admire/appreciate 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/overjoyed/thrilled ②诚恳地：sincerely/genuinely/earnestly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Steven explained that his own yard needed tidying up and asked if Keonte would be interested in the job.（运用了that和if引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Thinking it was a mistake, Keonte politely pointed it out to Steven. （运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 遵化市2025—2026学年度第二学期学业水平测试 高二英语 注意事项： 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，第Ⅰ卷第1至8页，第Ⅱ卷9至12页。共150分，考试时间120分钟。 1．答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、考试科目用铅笔填涂在答题卡上，贴好条形码。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。 2．第Ⅱ卷答案一律写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第Ⅰ卷（共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节；满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B My wife works while I stay at home and take care of our two kids and Wendell, an energetic dog. He loved to run but had to settle for our kids’ slow walks until it hit me: I could build a dog wagon (拉车). A few days later, I transformed our old jogging stroller into a two-seat dog wagon with a screwdriver. Now when Wendell sees me pick up his harness (牵引带) I built from old leather belts, he races to the door, eager to pull the kids around the town at a pace that thrills us all. When I left my law career four years ago, it was a promise to my children: I may not be able to buy you as many things, but you will know your father. So when we noticed a few inches of water had frozen in a deserted lot, we grabbed our ice skates and made it our own private rink. When my 5-year-old daughter became obsessed with ancient Egypt, we turned pizza boxes into pyramids. When my 2-year-old son wanted to be RoboCop for Halloween, I made his costume from recycled bottles and pieced his mask together from an old bike helmet and a wash bucket. Creativity rubs off. Not long ago, my daughter asked me to build her a horse, and I made sure she was part of every step of the process that didn’t involve power tools. She helped build her wooden toy horse from start to finish — drawing the design, then painting the final coat. Something that previously existed only in her imagination became a toy she could ride. Every project we finish feels like the fulfillment of a promise — it’s not the things we create that matter but the time we spend creating things together. 4. Why did the author build a dog wagon? A. To improve his craft building skills. B. To meet the exercise need of his dog. C. To recycle the broken jogging stroller. D. To provide a safer transport for the children. 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s parenting style? A. Imaginative and hands-on. B. Traditional and safety-centered. C. Encouraging and play-based. D. Adventurous and talent-focused 6. What does the underlined sentence “Creativity rubs off." in the last paragraph mean? A. Creativity lies in imagination. B. Creativity calls for observation C. Creativity originates from daily life. D. Creativity spreads through interaction, 7. What does the text seem to advocate? A. Valuing quality family time with children. B. Replacing store-bought toys with DIY projects. C. Balancing a career with parenting responsibilities. D. Adapting available resources to meet family needs. C Leafy vegetables are widely considered to be a healthy and tasty food choice, and eating enough leafy greens supports overall health. Now “Dinosaur time” is a popular online trend (趋势) that is helping all kinds of people, from busy moms to picky kids, get the leafy greens their bodies need. The trend originated with Amy Garrett, a former middle school science teacher and stay-at-home mom, who shared her unusual way to eat vegetables with her nearly 50,000 followers. In her videos, she eats leafy greens without preparing them or putting them in a salad. Instead, she eats them like a dinosaur, often with dinosaur-related music playing in the background. Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses “Dinosaur time” to add vegetables before her lunch. It isn’t just adults getting inspired by “Dinosaur time”. Young children naturally enjoy pretending to be dinosaurs and parents are taking advantage of their little ones’ imaginations to encourage them to eat more healthily, using this fun trend. Alexis Chase, a mom of two, shared that after her 12-year-old saw her trying “Dinosaur time”, he said, “I believe I can eat those vegetables faster than you.” And she replied, “No, you can’t.” In this way, her family is encouraged to eat their vegetables. While this trend is great, people who’re at risk of kidney stones (肾结石) should be careful, and those who’re on blood thinners should ask their doctors for advice before changing their diet. Eating vegetables is a time-tested way to get nutrients (营养物) fast. 8. What is the main purpose of “Dinosaur time”? A. To promote vegetable sales. B. To teach dinosaur knowledge. C. To attract social media followers. D. To help people eat greens more easily. 9. What is the advantage of “Dinosaur time” over salads? A. It provides more nutrients. B. It costs less money. C. It requires less time. D. It tastes better. 10. How does Alexis Chase encourage her child? A. By creating competition. B. By setting examples. C. By offering awards. D. By making rules. 11. What can be inferred about the “Dinosaur time” trend from the last paragraph? A. It helps to treat diseases. B. It isn’t suitable for everyone. C. It needs special preparation. D. It is well accepted globally. D New research led by Brian Meier, a professor of psychology, provides convincing evidence of humans’ deep-seated preference for products labeled as “natural”, demonstrating how this bias (偏见) significantly influences real-world decision-making even when potential risks are involved. Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields. However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios (假设情景), leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore, Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants’ choices and performances in different contexts. The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic (合成的). When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a strength test, an overwhelming 84% selected the natural-labeled drink, despite both being identical water samples. In the second experiment, 98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa, with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort. Remarkably, 84% still chose the natural option, maintaining their preference even when facing possible negative effects. The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory settings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street. Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink, then selected one to keep. Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers, which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than the synthetic ones. “The vast majority of subjects exhibited a clear behavioral preference that was influenced solely by the ‘natural’ label across all three experimental contexts,” Meier stated. The research, which spanned diverse settings and product categories, yielded remarkably consistent results, strongly confirming the profound impact of naturalness branding on consumer decision-making. Based on these convincing findings, Meier and his research team have outlined several promising avenues for further investigation. Their future work aims to dive deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this “naturalness bias”, unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and public policy making. 12. How did Brian Meier’s research differ from earlier studies on naturalness bias? A. It explored completely new fields. B. It repeated experiments for accuracy. C. It tested people in real-life situations. D. It focused more on data comparison. 13. What can be inferred from the three experiments? A. Risks lower the preference. B. The bias depends on product type. C. The synthetic option tasted better. D. The bias works despite no real difference. 14. What is a possible future research direction for the team? A. Behavioral bias. B. Consumer behavior. C. Product labeling strategies. D. Hidden psychological mechanisms. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. The Power of “Natural”: How Labels Shape Our Decisions B. The Risks of Natural Products: A Psychological Analysis C. Natural VS Synthetic: Consumer Choices in Everyday Life D. Beyond the Label: New Research in Consumer Psychology 第二节 七选五（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。 Curiosity is defined as the“desire to know”, but many people don’t realize it ranges from shallow to deep. ____16____ It’s the kind of questioning that helps us to collect data and information. We use it to learn facts. ____17____ It’s not just about facts, but about unknown stories. When we use it to learn about other people, we get a rich insight into their core values and life experiences. Instead of a simple question like “What do you do for work?”, we ask, “What kind of work makes you come alive, and why?” One type of curiosity is not necessarily better than the other. They’re just different with benefits and learning from both. ____18____ You wouldn’t ask a new classmate suddenly and unexpectedly, “What’s your biggest childhood trauma (创伤)?” While some of us might be willing to share so openly, others may not find the question appropriate, especially before trust and closeness have been built. ____19____ People with higher levels of curiosity tend to be happier. It also strengthens our relationships — whether with our classmates, friends, or strangers. A study found that when people show genuine curiosity towards another person, they’re rated as warmer and more attractive. It creates that “give-and-take spiral”; when we ask questions, others are more likely to return the favour. While curiosity is usually regarded as a way to learn about what’s outside of ourselves, such as better understanding someone, it can actually be channeled in other ways, too. It helps us understand ourselves, and reflect on our beliefs, desires, or needs. ____20____ A. Curiosity offers a variety of benefits. B. It’s time to employ curiosity’s power. C. Thus shallow curiosity is a gateway to a deeper world. D. However, which you use might depend on the situation. E. What you may be more familiar with is shallow curiosity. F. Deep curiosity, in contrast, invites us to go beneath the surface. G. It can even be directed to explore what’s beyond the physical world. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节；满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The players on the Academy basketball team knew something was wrong.

His backpack felt heavy with a pair of gloves, a small handheld grass trimmer (割草机), and a pair of pruning shears (修枝剪) — tools he had saved up for months to buy. As a high school freshman, Keonte had posted part-time job advertisements online to save for a computer, which would allow him to join the school programming club. When he arrived, Mrs Carter hurried to her car. “The yard’s all yours — pull out the wild plants, trim the bushes, and cut the grass,” she said, handing him the key. Keonte nodded and thanked her, unlocked the gate and stepped in. He put down his backpack, and began pulling up the thick wild plants at the edge of the garden. The sun warmed his back while he sang softly and worked. He imagined how his growing savings would soon help him buy a computer. Suddenly, a loud voice broke the quiet: “Put down your tools! Hands on your head! Squat (蹲) down now!” Keonte froze. A police officer stood at the gate. Keonte’s heart raced, and he quickly dropped the grass trimmer, raised his hands, and squatted as ordered. The officer’s uniform was neat, and his nametag read “Steven”. “What are you doing here?” Officer Steven asked firmly. Keonte swallowed hard and explained, “I’m Keonte Evans. Mrs Carter hired me to clean her yard — she just left.” The officer’s serious face softened a little. “Her neighbor called, thinking you were a thief since the owner wasn’t home,” he said. During their subsequent conversation, Keonte told Steven about his part-time jobs, and his dream of joining the programming club. Officer Steven nodded, looking impressed. He checked with Mrs Carter to confirm Keonte’s story, and everything turned out to be correct. “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, Keonte. You’re a hardworking kid,” he said, helping the teen stand up. Before leaving, he smiled widely and said, “I’ll give you a call soon.” Keonte watched him drive away, wondering what the officer meant. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Three days later, Keonte received a call from Steven. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: However, Steven paid Keonte more than the agreed amount. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
