Here’s an introduction to four fascinating bird species, each with its own distinctive features. Bald Eagles, the U.S. national symbol, are impressive birds with 80-inch-wide wings. Once endangered, they’ve made a great comeback thanks to protection laws. These birds hunt fish, diving down at up to 100 mph, and build large nests called aeries high in trees. Young eagles turn from gray to brown before developing the well-known white head and tail at 4 to 5 years old. American Crows are large, 17.5-inch-long birds with shiny black feathers (羽毛) and brown eyes. Found from southern Canada to the U. S., they are highly intelligent and live in family groups. They feed on a wide range of food, including insects, small animals, fruits, and nuts, and often come together in huge numbers when winter arrives. Their loud “caw” makes them easy to identify. The American Goldfinches are small birds, around 5 inches long, living in the edges of forests, plains, backyards, and parks across North America. Males display bright yellow feathers in warm months, while both male and female birds turn brownish in winter. These birds feed mainly on sunflower and thistle seeds, and their “po-ta-to-chip” call is a familiar sound as they communicate with their groups. Blue-Footed Boobies stand out with their bright blue feet, which males show off to attract mates. These 32-34-inch-long seabirds dive up to 55 mph to catch small fish. Active during the day, they sleep on land and gather in large numbers, with parents caring for chicks until they’re two months old. 1. How long are American Crows? A. Around 5 inches. B. 17.5 inches. C. 20 inches. D. 32 - 34 inches. 2. What color are male American Goldfinches’ feathers in warm months? A. Brownish. B. Dark gray. C. Bright yellow. D. Shiny black. 3. What do Bald Eagles and Blue-Footed Boobies have in common? A. They can catch fish. B. They have bright blue feet. C. They live in family groups. D. They mainly feed on sunflower seeds. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种极具特色的鸟类 (白头海雕、美洲乌鸦、美洲金翅雀和蓝脚鲣鸟) 及其外形、习性等特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段American Crows部分“American Crows are large, 17.5-inch-long birds with shiny black feathers  (羽毛) and brown eyes.(美洲乌鸦是体型较大的鸟类，体长17.5英寸，有着油亮的黑色羽毛和棕色的眼睛。)” 可知，美洲乌鸦的体长为17.5英寸，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段The American Goldfinches部分“Males display bright yellow feathers in warm months, while both male and female birds turn brownish in winter.(雄性美洲金翅雀在温暖的月份会长出亮黄色的羽毛，而雌雄两性在冬季都会变成淡褐色。)” 可知，雄性美洲金翅雀在温暖月份的羽毛是亮黄色的，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段Bald Eagles部分“These birds hunt fish, diving down at up to 100 mph, and build large nests called aeries high in trees.(白头海雕以捕鱼为生，它们俯冲的速度可达每小时100英里，并在高高的树上搭建巨大的巢穴，这种巢穴被称为雕巢。)” 以及第五段Blue-Footed Boobies部分“These 32-34-inch-long seabirds dive up to 55 mph to catch small fish.(这种体长32至34英寸的海鸟俯冲速度可达每小时55英里，以此捕捉小鱼。)” 可知，白头海雕和蓝脚鲣鸟的共同之处是它们都会捕鱼，故选A。 B It was just after lunchtime service in a restaurant. The heat was unbearable and I was standing on a ladder and cleaning the hood (抽油烟机) blackened by cooking smoke. Despite my gloves, the chemicals caused superficial burns on my hands, and I felt a sharp pain as sweat went down my face. At that moment, I realized I couldn’t keep doing such jobs for the rest of my life. I needed a career I was passionate about—and I’d been crazy about fishing since my childhood, when my older brother would take me to catch trout (鳟鱼). I grew up in a large working-class family and left school at 19. For several years, I was an unknown worker, sanding floors in shopping malls in the middle of the night and cleaning pest-infested kitchens. I took pride in doing difficult, invisible jobs—but something still stirred (搅动) in me whenever I went fishing. I was 24 when I felt I needed a shift. So after completing a science-based diploma (文凭) for adults, I started a biology degree at university, sustaining myself with the money I’d saved while working. My first term was cruel. I failed physics, biostatistics, and even introductory ecology, but I was determined to pursue my dream and gradually my grades improved. Eventually, I got into a master’s program in biodiversity management. During the first week, my supervisor handed me a paper on brown trout in the Kerguelen Islands. I was ecstatic. “They’re paying me to research salmonid!” I told my parents that night. For the first time, I felt like I’d truly made it. I credit the hours I spent cleaning kitchens for giving me the discipline, patience, precision, and will to push on as I struggled through those first years of studying. I’m now in the middle of a Ph.D. studying how climate change is affecting arctic char (鲑). I’m living a dream, but I also know it takes much hard work to get here. Every day, I still feel the same desire to learn and improve. 4. What motivated the author to seek a career change? A. The low income from his former jobs. B. The extreme physical discomfort at work. C. The sudden return of his previous interest. D. The encouragement from his family members. 5. What can be inferred about the author at university? A. He adjusted quickly to academic demands. B. He prioritized earning money over studying. C. He initially struggled but persisted. D. He changed his major based on his hobby. 6. What does the underlined word “ecstatic” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Pleased. B. Determined. C. Puzzled. D. Annoyed. 7. How did the author’s early jobs influence his later study? A. They taught him practical scientific skills. B. They provided financial support for his research. C. They inspired him to choose environmental studies. D. They developed personal qualities useful for his learning. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者出身工人阶级家庭，从事辛苦的体力劳动，工作中的艰难促使他决心改变职业，凭借对钓鱼的热爱，他通过学习在生物学领域逐步实现梦想，展现了努力追求梦想的过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The heat was unbearable and I was standing on a ladder and cleaning the hood (抽油烟机) blackened by cooking smoke. Despite my gloves, the chemicals caused superficial burns on my hands, and I felt a sharp pain as sweat went down my face. At that moment, I realized I couldn’t keep doing such jobs for the rest of my life. (天气热得让人难以忍受，我站在梯子上清理被油烟熏黑的抽油烟机。尽管戴着手套，化学物质还是在我手上造成了轻度灼伤，汗水流到脸上时我感到一阵剧痛。就在那一刻，我意识到我不能一辈子都做这样的工作)”可知，工作时极度的身体不适促使作者寻求职业转变。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“My first term was cruel. I failed physics, biostatistics, and even introductory ecology, but I was determined to pursue my dream and gradually my grades improved.(我的第一学期很残酷。我物理、生物统计学甚至基础生态学都不及格，但我决心追求我的梦想，渐渐地我的成绩提高了)”可知，作者在大学最初遇到困难，但坚持不懈。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段““They’re paying me to research salmonid!” I told my parents that night. For the first time, I felt like I’d truly made it.(“他们付钱让我研究鲑科鱼类！”那天晚上我告诉父母。我第一次觉得自己真的成功了)”可知，作者对能研究自己喜欢的鱼感到非常高兴，所以“ecstatic”意思是“狂喜的”，与A选项“Pleased”意思相符。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I credit the hours I spent cleaning kitchens for giving me the discipline, patience, precision, and will to push on as I struggled through those first years of studying.(我认为我花在清洁厨房的时间培养了我的自律、耐心、精准和在最初几年学习中坚持下去的意志)”可知，作者早期的工作培养了对他学习有用的个人品质。故选D项。 C A new study from Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health reported that children experienced far fewer mental health diagnoses (诊断) when their schools reopened during the global health emergency. Earlier research consistently showed that children struggled emotionally during the global health emergency. Some studies suggested that returning to classrooms offered important support, but many of those investigations (调查) relied on small samples or self-reported experiences. To produce a more comprehensive picture, the research team examined health diagnoses and spending information for 185,735 children between the age of 5 and 18 years from March 2020 through June 2021. The dataset indicated whether a child received mental health treatment related to anxiety or depression. Participants lived in 24 counties and 224 school districts across California, a state where school closures lasted longer than those in most of the country and opening timelines varied widely. These differences created a natural opportunity to compare outcomes. The study documented an overall rise in mental health diagnoses during the emergency, increasing from 2.8% to 3.5%. However, children who returned to in-person school were significantly less likely to receive new diagnoses than children whose schools stayed closed. By the ninth month after opening, the chance of being diagnosed with a mental health condition had dropped by 43% compared with the period before opening. Health care spending reflected a similar pattern. Nine months after schools reopened, non-drug medical spending related to mental health was 11% lower, and spending on psychiatric (精神病的) medications was 8% lower. Girls saw greater improvements than boys over the same period. The research team outlined several possible reasons for the mental health challenges children experienced while schools were closed. These included limited social interaction, disturbed sleep routines, more screen time, poorer dietary patterns, academic struggles, or family stress linked to economic hardship. “Our results provide solid evidence to parents, educators, and policymakers that in-person schools play a crucial role in kids’ well-being,” said senior author Rita Hamad, professor of social epidemiology. “Policies should focus not only on infection control, but also on the mental health of children.” 8. Why did the Harvard research team choose California? A. Its opening policy can produce detailed data. B. It owned a comprehensive healthcare system. C. Its spending budget was uniform. D. It had the shortest school closures. 9. What was a finding of the Harvard study? A. Health care spending increased largely. B. Boys showed greater mental health improvements. C. Reopening schools reduced mental health diagnoses. D. School closures improved children’s academic performance. 10. Which of the following was not listed as a mental health challenge? A. Poor sleep routines. B. Rising social interaction. C. Family financial stress. D. Disordered dietary habits. 11. What does Professor Hamad suggest doing for future policies? A. Putting academic catch-up programs in the first place. B. Ensuring the emotional resources accessible to children. C. Keeping schools closed longer to ensure infection control. D. Balancing safety measures and children’s mental well-being. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哈佛大学一项新研究，发现在全球卫生紧急事件期间，学校重新开放能显著降低儿童心理健康问题的诊断率，并分析了原因及相关政策建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants lived in 24 counties and 224 school districts across California, a state where school closures lasted longer than those in most of the country and opening timelines varied widely. (参与者居住在加利福尼亚州的24个县和224个学区，该州的学校关闭时间比全国大多数地区更长，且重新开放时间表差异很大。)”可知，加州的学校重新开放时间表差异很大，这为研究提供了详细的比较数据，从而能更全面地分析学校开放对心理健康的影响。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, children who returned to in-person school were significantly less likely to receive new diagnoses than children whose schools stayed closed.(然而，回到学校线下上课的孩子比学校继续关闭的孩子，被新诊断出心理健康问题的概率要低得多。)”可知，研究发现学校重新开放减少了心理健康诊断。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“These included limited social interaction, disturbed sleep routines, more screen time, poorer dietary patterns, academic struggles, or family stress linked to economic hardship.(这些原因包括有限的社交互动、紊乱的睡眠规律、更多的屏幕时间、较差的饮食模式、学业困难，以及与经济困难相关的家庭压力。)”可知，研究中列出的心理健康挑战包括睡眠习惯被打乱、家庭财务压力和饮食模式变差，但并未提到“增加的社交互动”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Policies should focus not only on infection control, but also on the mental health of children.(政策不仅应关注感染防控，还应关注儿童的心理健康。)”可知，Hamad教授建议未来政策要平衡安全措施与儿童心理健康。故选D。 D Fabio De Leo, an assistant professor in the University of Victoria’s (UVic) Department of Biology, co-led a long-term experiment off the coast of British Columbia (BC). The study placed humpback whale bones on the deep ocean floor and monitored them for signs of life. After years of observation, researchers didn’t find zombie worms (僵尸蠕虫), despite their well-known role in decomposing (分解) whale bones and supporting deep-sea food webs. Zombie worms are unusual creatures. They lack a mouth and digestive system, yet they survive by their root-like structures into bone. Inside those roots live microbes (微生物) that get nutrients, which then feed the worms. Because of this unique role, zombie worms are considered ecosystem engineers, helping recycle nutrients and create conditions that allow other species to move in. Over 10 years of underwater camera footage failed to capture any zombie worm. In scientific terms, this finding is known as a negative result, but it can be just as meaningful as a positive one. “This was a remarkable observation in such a long-term experiment,” De Leo says. He adds that the absence may be linked to unusually low oxygen levels at the study site. The whale bones were placed in Barkley Canyon, nearly a thousand meters below the Pacific Ocean surface. This area lies within a naturally low-oxygen zone and along migration routes used by humpback and grey whales. When whales die from natural causes or human-related threats like ship strikes, their bodies sink to the seafloor. These events create “whale falls,” which normally provide a sudden increase of food that supports rich biodiversity. The lack of zombie worms at Barkley Canyon suggests that expanding oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the northeast Pacific and beyond may be disturbing these ecosystems. If the “bone eater” is missing, the chain reaction can affect many other species. Without zombie worms to break down bones and kick-start the ecological succession process, fewer organisms may be able to access nutrients stored in whale remains. 12. What is a role of zombie worms in deep-sea ecosystems? A. Competing with other species. B. Producing oxygen. C. Breaking down whale bones. D. Driving away microbes. 13. What probably caused the disappearance of zombie worms according to the text? A. Human activities. B. The expanding oxygen minimum zones. C. Less deep-sea food. D. The reduction of low oxygen. 14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. The formation of the food chain. B. The risk of species loss. C. The failed function of the ecosystem. D. The process of finding bones. 15. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Deep-Sea “Ecosystem Engineers” Are Missing B. Zombie Worms Are Rich in the Deep Sea C. Oxygen Zones Expand Due to Whale Deaths D. Whale bones Attract New Deep-Sea Species 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。维多利亚大学生物学系助理教授Fabio De Leo联合主导的一项长达十年的深海实验发现，在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省海岸的巴克利峡谷深海区域，科学家们未发现预期中的僵尸蠕虫 (zombie worms)。研究揭示，氧气减少可能破坏深海生态系统的关键环节，威胁生物多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“After years of observation, researchers didn’t find zombie worms, despite their well-known role in decomposing whale bones and supporting deep-sea food webs. ( 尽管僵尸蠕虫在分解鲸骨和支持深海食物网方面有着众所周知的作用，但经过多年的观察，研究人员并未发现它们。)”可知，僵尸蠕虫在深海生态系统中的作用是分解鲸骨。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The lack of zombie worms at Barkley Canyon suggests that expanding oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the northeast Pacific and beyond may be disturbing these ecosystems. (巴克利峡谷缺少僵尸蠕虫表明，东北太平洋及其他地区不断扩大的最低含氧区可能正在扰乱这些生态系统。)”可知，僵尸蠕虫的缺失可能与缺氧区的扩大有关。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If the ‘bone eater’ is missing, the chain reaction can affect many other species. Without zombie worms to break down bones and kick-start the ecological succession process, fewer organisms may be able to access nutrients stored in whale remains. (如果“食骨者”缺失，连锁反应会影响许多其他物种。没有僵尸蠕虫来分解骨骼并启动生态演替过程，更少的生物能够获取储存在鲸鱼遗骸中的营养物质。)”可知，僵尸蠕虫的缺失可能导致依赖鲸骨养分的其他物种难以生存，从而带来物种丧失的风险。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕在巴克利峡谷长期实验中未发现僵尸蠕虫这一现象展开，阐述了僵尸蠕虫作为“生态系统工程师”在深海生态系统中的关键作用，以及其缺失可能对生态链产生的影响。因此，标题应突出“深海‘生态系统工程师’缺失”这一核心内容。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分Ⅰ2.5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。 Camping is a fun and exciting way to learn about nature, especially when you go with a group. ____16____.

The rich smell of freshly made coffee filled the air, but I paid no attention my eyes were fixed on the shelf where the limited edition bear cups should have been. But it was empty! My heart sank, but I walked straight to the register. “Do you have any more of those bear cups in the warehouse?” I asked, leaning forward. That cup was for my sick niece, who’d been begging for it for weeks. The server, a young woman with a name tag reading “Lila”, gave a polite but apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. They’re selling very fast — we sell out within hours of getting a new shipment. We’ll have a new delivery on Friday, though. I can put your name and number down to set one aside for you.” My patience broke. I hit my hand on the counter and said, “No! That’s impossible!” My voice was loud, drawing looks from every corner of the store. “From downtown to the suburbs, this is the ninth Starbucks I’ve been to today! Nine. And everyone says ‘sold out’! But I see them online for hundreds of dollars! You’re holding them back to resell, aren’t you?!” Lila’s smile faded, but her voice stayed steady. “Ma’am, I work fifty hours a week here. The last thing I want is to bring a Starbucks cup home. We don’t keep any back — first-come, first-served. Even regular customers struggle to get one. Can I get you a drink or something to eat? Our lemon loaf just came out warm.” Anger made my cheeks burn. “Forget it!” I hit both hands on the counter harder, then turned around and rushed out. The doorbell rang sharply behind me. As I walked away, guilt washed over me — I’d totally overreacted, but I was so desperate to see my niece smile. 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。 The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, my phone rang. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. Lila was taking an order when she saw me; she nodded gently, indicating she’d be with me soon. When she came over, I lowered my head slightly and said, “Lila, I’m truly sorry for yelling at you yesterday. I was really overwhelmed — my niece is sick, and I just wanted to make her happy.” She smiled, “I understand. Family matters most. I’ll keep one for you. Could you leave your phone number so I can call you when it comes in?”I quickly wrote it down, thanking her repeatedly. Three days later, my phone rang. It was Lila, her warm voice coming through: “Hi, this is Lila from Starbucks. The bear cup you wanted has arrived.” A surge of joy filled me, and I thanked her again. I rushed to the store right away, and when I saw the neatly placed bear cup on the counter, I knew my niece’s wish would come true. Taking the cup gently in my hands, I was already looking forward to seeing my niece’s bright smile. It was Lila’s kindness that had turned my anxiety into relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为生病的侄女寻找限量版熊杯，跑了九家星巴克都被告知售罄，情急之下对店员莱拉大发雷霆，事后心生愧疚，决定第二天回去道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我鼓起勇气回去，决心道歉。”可知，第一段可描写作者找到莱拉并真诚道歉，说明自己发火的原因，莱拉表示理解并答应为她预留熊杯，作者留下电话号码并再三感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“三天后，我的电话响了。”可知，第二段可描写电话是莱拉打来的，告知熊杯已到，作者十分开心，立刻赶往店里拿到杯子，满心期待侄女的笑容，也感激莱拉的善意。 2. 续写线索：回去道歉——说明缘由——莱拉理解并答应预留——留下电话——莱拉来电告知杯子到货——赶往店里拿杯子——感激善意、期待侄女笑容 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/say sorry ②预留：keep/set aside ③赶往：rush/hurry 情绪类 ①开心：joy/happiness ②宽慰：relief/comfort/reassurance 【点睛】[高分句型1] When she came over, I lowered my head slightly and said, “Lila, I’m truly sorry for yelling at you yesterday.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] It was Lila’s kindness that had turned my anxiety into relief.（运用了强调句型“It’s...that...”强调主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 榆林市第十四中学期中检测 高二英语试题 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。 4．本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第二册~选择性必修第三册Unit2。 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.

Here’s an introduction to four fascinating bird species, each with its own distinctive features. Bald Eagles, the U.S. national symbol, are impressive birds with 80-inch-wide wings. Once endangered, they’ve made a great comeback thanks to protection laws. These birds hunt fish, diving down at up to 100 mph, and build large nests called aeries high in trees. Young eagles turn from gray to brown before developing the well-known white head and tail at 4 to 5 years old. American Crows are large, 17.5-inch-long birds with shiny black feathers (羽毛) and brown eyes. Found from southern Canada to the U. S., they are highly intelligent and live in family groups. They feed on a wide range of food, including insects, small animals, fruits, and nuts, and often come together in huge numbers when winter arrives. Their loud “caw” makes them easy to identify. The American Goldfinches are small birds, around 5 inches long, living in the edges of forests, plains, backyards, and parks across North America. Males display bright yellow feathers in warm months, while both male and female birds turn brownish in winter. These birds feed mainly on sunflower and thistle seeds, and their “po-ta-to-chip” call is a familiar sound as they communicate with their groups. Blue-Footed Boobies stand out with their bright blue feet, which males show off to attract mates. These 32-34-inch-long seabirds dive up to 55 mph to catch small fish. Active during the day, they sleep on land and gather in large numbers, with parents caring for chicks until they’re two months old. 1. How long are American Crows? A. Around 5 inches. B. 17.5 inches. C. 20 inches. D. 32 - 34 inches. 2. What color are male American Goldfinches’ feathers in warm months? A. Brownish. B. Dark gray. C. Bright yellow. D. Shiny black. 3. What do Bald Eagles and Blue-Footed Boobies have in common? A. They can catch fish. B. They have bright blue feet. C. They live in family groups. D. They mainly feed on sunflower seeds. B It was just after lunchtime service in a restaurant. The heat was unbearable and I was standing on a ladder and cleaning the hood (抽油烟机) blackened by cooking smoke. Despite my gloves, the chemicals caused superficial burns on my hands, and I felt a sharp pain as sweat went down my face. At that moment, I realized I couldn’t keep doing such jobs for the rest of my life. I needed a career I was passionate about—and I’d been crazy about fishing since my childhood, when my older brother would take me to catch trout (鳟鱼). I grew up in a large working-class family and left school at 19. For several years, I was an unknown worker, sanding floors in shopping malls in the middle of the night and cleaning pest-infested kitchens. I took pride in doing difficult, invisible jobs—but something still stirred (搅动) in me whenever I went fishing. I was 24 when I felt I needed a shift. So after completing a science-based diploma (文凭) for adults, I started a biology degree at university, sustaining myself with the money I’d saved while working. My first term was cruel. I failed physics, biostatistics, and even introductory ecology, but I was determined to pursue my dream and gradually my grades improved. Eventually, I got into a master’s program in biodiversity management. During the first week, my supervisor handed me a paper on brown trout in the Kerguelen Islands. I was ecstatic. “They’re paying me to research salmonid!” I told my parents that night. For the first time, I felt like I’d truly made it. I credit the hours I spent cleaning kitchens for giving me the discipline, patience, precision, and will to push on as I struggled through those first years of studying. I’m now in the middle of a Ph.D. studying how climate change is affecting arctic char (鲑). I’m living a dream, but I also know it takes much hard work to get here. Every day, I still feel the same desire to learn and improve. 4. What motivated the author to seek a career change? A. The low income from his former jobs. B. The extreme physical discomfort at work. C. The sudden return of his previous interest. D. The encouragement from his family members. 5. What can be inferred about the author at university? A. He adjusted quickly to academic demands. B. He prioritized earning money over studying. C. He initially struggled but persisted. D. He changed his major based on his hobby. 6. What does the underlined word “ecstatic” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Pleased. B. Determined. C. Puzzled. D. Annoyed. 7. How did the author’s early jobs influence his later study? A. They taught him practical scientific skills. B. They provided financial support for his research. C. They inspired him to choose environmental studies. D. They developed personal qualities useful for his learning. C A new study from Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health reported that children experienced far fewer mental health diagnoses (诊断) when their schools reopened during the global health emergency. Earlier research consistently showed that children struggled emotionally during the global health emergency. Some studies suggested that returning to classrooms offered important support, but many of those investigations (调查) relied on small samples or self-reported experiences. To produce a more comprehensive picture, the research team examined health diagnoses and spending information for 185,735 children between the age of 5 and 18 years from March 2020 through June 2021. The dataset indicated whether a child received mental health treatment related to anxiety or depression. Participants lived in 24 counties and 224 school districts across California, a state where school closures lasted longer than those in most of the country and opening timelines varied widely. These differences created a natural opportunity to compare outcomes. The study documented an overall rise in mental health diagnoses during the emergency, increasing from 2.8% to 3.5%. However, children who returned to in-person school were significantly less likely to receive new diagnoses than children whose schools stayed closed. By the ninth month after opening, the chance of being diagnosed with a mental health condition had dropped by 43% compared with the period before opening. Health care spending reflected a similar pattern. Nine months after schools reopened, non-drug medical spending related to mental health was 11% lower, and spending on psychiatric (精神病的) medications was 8% lower. Girls saw greater improvements than boys over the same period. The research team outlined several possible reasons for the mental health challenges children experienced while schools were closed. These included limited social interaction, disturbed sleep routines, more screen time, poorer dietary patterns, academic struggles, or family stress linked to economic hardship. “Our results provide solid evidence to parents, educators, and policymakers that in-person schools play a crucial role in kids’ well-being,” said senior author Rita Hamad, professor of social epidemiology. “Policies should focus not only on infection control, but also on the mental health of children.” 8. Why did the Harvard research team choose California? A. Its opening policy can produce detailed data. B. It owned a comprehensive healthcare system. C. Its spending budget was uniform. D. It had the shortest school closures. 9. What was a finding of the Harvard study? A. Health care spending increased largely. B. Boys showed greater mental health improvements. C. Reopening schools reduced mental health diagnoses. D. School closures improved children’s academic performance. 10. Which of the following was not listed as a mental health challenge? A. Poor sleep routines. B. Rising social interaction. C. Family financial stress. D. Disordered dietary habits. 11. What does Professor Hamad suggest doing for future policies? A. Putting academic catch-up programs in the first place. B. Ensuring the emotional resources accessible to children. C. Keeping schools closed longer to ensure infection control. D. Balancing safety measures and children’s mental well-being. D Fabio De Leo, an assistant professor in the University of Victoria’s (UVic) Department of Biology, co-led a long-term experiment off the coast of British Columbia (BC). The study placed humpback whale bones on the deep ocean floor and monitored them for signs of life. After years of observation, researchers didn’t find zombie worms (僵尸蠕虫), despite their well-known role in decomposing (分解) whale bones and supporting deep-sea food webs. Zombie worms are unusual creatures. They lack a mouth and digestive system, yet they survive by their root-like structures into bone. Inside those roots live microbes (微生物) that get nutrients, which then feed the worms. Because of this unique role, zombie worms are considered ecosystem engineers, helping recycle nutrients and create conditions that allow other species to move in. Over 10 years of underwater camera footage failed to capture any zombie worm. In scientific terms, this finding is known as a negative result, but it can be just as meaningful as a positive one. “This was a remarkable observation in such a long-term experiment,” De Leo says. He adds that the absence may be linked to unusually low oxygen levels at the study site. The whale bones were placed in Barkley Canyon, nearly a thousand meters below the Pacific Ocean surface. This area lies within a naturally low-oxygen zone and along migration routes used by humpback and grey whales. When whales die from natural causes or human-related threats like ship strikes, their bodies sink to the seafloor. These events create “whale falls,” which normally provide a sudden increase of food that supports rich biodiversity. The lack of zombie worms at Barkley Canyon suggests that expanding oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the northeast Pacific and beyond may be disturbing these ecosystems. If the “bone eater” is missing, the chain reaction can affect many other species. Without zombie worms to break down bones and kick-start the ecological succession process, fewer organisms may be able to access nutrients stored in whale remains. 12. What is a role of zombie worms in deep-sea ecosystems? A. Competing with other species. B. Producing oxygen. C. Breaking down whale bones. D. Driving away microbes. 13. What probably caused the disappearance of zombie worms according to the text? A. Human activities. B. The expanding oxygen minimum zones. C. Less deep-sea food. D. The reduction of low oxygen. 14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. The formation of the food chain. B. The risk of species loss. C. The failed function of the ecosystem. D. The process of finding bones. 15. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Deep-Sea “Ecosystem Engineers” Are Missing B. Zombie Worms Are Rich in the Deep Sea C. Oxygen Zones Expand Due to Whale Deaths D. Whale bones Attract New Deep-Sea Species 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分Ⅰ2.5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。 Camping is a fun and exciting way to learn about nature, especially when you go with a group. ____16____.

The rich smell of freshly made coffee filled the air, but I paid no attention my eyes were fixed on the shelf where the limited edition bear cups should have been. But it was empty! My heart sank, but I walked straight to the register. “Do you have any more of those bear cups in the warehouse?” I asked, leaning forward. That cup was for my sick niece, who’d been begging for it for weeks. The server, a young woman with a name tag reading “Lila”, gave a polite but apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. They’re selling very fast — we sell out within hours of getting a new shipment. We’ll have a new delivery on Friday, though. I can put your name and number down to set one aside for you.” My patience broke. I hit my hand on the counter and said, “No! That’s impossible!” My voice was loud, drawing looks from every corner of the store. “From downtown to the suburbs, this is the ninth Starbucks I’ve been to today! Nine. And everyone says ‘sold out’! But I see them online for hundreds of dollars! You’re holding them back to resell, aren’t you?!” Lila’s smile faded, but her voice stayed steady. “Ma’am, I work fifty hours a week here. The last thing I want is to bring a Starbucks cup home. We don’t keep any back — first-come, first-served. Even regular customers struggle to get one. Can I get you a drink or something to eat? Our lemon loaf just came out warm.” Anger made my cheeks burn. “Forget it!” I hit both hands on the counter harder, then turned around and rushed out. The doorbell rang sharply behind me. As I walked away, guilt washed over me — I’d totally overreacted, but I was so desperate to see my niece smile. 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。 The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, my phone rang. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
