We’d like to have you as our guest. Firstly, the activity will be held in the school auditorium at 3 p.m. next Saturday. It aims to alleviate students’ mental stress and empower them to study more efficiently. Specifically, a psychological expert will be invited to deliver a lecture to help students know various adjustment techniques and understand how to turn pressure into motivation. More interestingly, we will organize English riddle-solving games to shift students’ focus away from the overwhelming schoolwork pressure. Last but not least, top students will share their practical methods for study. Hopefully, students can better handle stress, learn efficiently, and embrace the challenges. Looking forward to your attendance and it would be appreciated if you could give us some insights. Yours, Li Hua 67. 读后续写 Sample: Finally the operation began. The surgery was hard and scary, but I made it through. Right after the operation, my head looked like a pumpkin. But all in all, everything took a turn for the better. About a week later, I was discharged from the hospital. As told earlier, the discomfort was unavoidable. However, we knew we had taken the first step to getting rid of the cancer. Recovery was tough, but I didn’t let it take over me. I decided to give back for my good fortune. While I was out for a short walk, I found a sign about volunteering at a local charity that helps kids who don’t have much. I signed up right away. Every day, I tried every means to help the kids. As the months went by, I got stronger and happier. One day, as I was leaving, a quiet little girl hugged me tight and said, “You make me believe I can do anything, Miss Lisa.” Her words were like a magic cure that healed my heart and reminded me of the meaning of that old saying. 写作部分评分标准 一、应用文和读后续写的5个档次及分数 应用文：13-15；10-12；7-9；4-6；1-3。 续写：21-25；16-20；11-15；6-10；1-5。 二、各档次取中间分数为各档次基准分 阅卷时，根据答卷整体性，确定该文章档次并给出基准分；再根据文章具体情况，在基 准分的基础上，在本档次分值范围内加分或减分，确定最后得分。 各档次中间分数为： 应用文：14-11-8-5-2。 续写：23-18-13-8-3。 1. 14／23档：漂漂亮亮，几乎没有错，读起来没有阻力，不影响交际。 2. 11／18档：清清楚楚，隔三差五有错，1／3有问题，没跑题，不会影响交际。 3. 8／13档：马马虎虎，一半还行，一半问题大，属于有问题的，答卷不及格。 4. 5／8档：糊里糊涂，1／3句子可以，2／3句子不行，隔三差五有点对。 5. 2／3档：一塌糊涂，基本无对。 三、额外扣分情况 1．应用文词数少于60的、读后续写词少于120的，酌情给分。 2．续写只写一段的，最多只能给12分。 3．文章跑题的，即使语言表达最好，最多给不超过总分一半的分数，即8分或13分。 4．书写较差以致影响交际的，酌情扣分。 听力录音稿 Text 1 W: Hi, Bob. It’s great to see you here. I didn’t know you like running. M: In fact, I usually try cycling or weightlifting, but the gym is closed today. So I have to do some running exercise instead. (1) Text 2 M: Hello, Blue Moon Restaurant. What can I do for you? W: Hello. I’d like to cancel a reservation on the noon of October 20th because my schedule has changed. M: OK. Please tell me your name or telephone number. W: I’m not sure whether my son or daughter made the reservation. You can try to check my telephone number first. (2) Text 3 W: It seems that your brother lives a very fast-paced life. M: Yes. He is busy with his business every day and he is under a lot of pressure. (3) W: I guess you don’t like living such a life. M: You are right. My brother and I live totally different lives. (3) Text 4 W: Dad, can you tell me where the closest dry cleaner is? I made my coat dirty when I was drinking coffee. I need to have it cleaned today because I need the coat for a job interview tomorrow morning. (4) M: It is just 200 meters away, behind Citibank. Text 5 W: Does this painting look good in this position? (5) I want it to be three feet from the ceiling, and in the middle of the wall. M: Let me see. Move it to our family photo a little. OK, now move it down a bit. (5) That’s it. Perfect! 第二节(共15小题，每小题1. 5分，满分22. 5分) 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 Text 6 W: Well, it’s a nice room. Um … is there anything I should know? M: Well, I don’t allow the pets to go upstairs. And I don’t allow loud music to be played, either. (7) W: Oh, I agree with you. I prefer quietness to noise, too. M: Besides, you can’t stick pictures up on the wall. W: Oh, I see. Can I use small nails or something? M: Yes. Something like that is quite acceptable. Text 7 W: What do you want to watch on TV tonight? M: Well, what’s on? W: There is a reality show at 7 pm on Channel 5. M: No, you know I don’t like reality shows. I mean, the guests there usually show people crazy things like eating live fish or swimming in a pool full of snakes. (8) W: Well, how about watching a documentary on the life of wild pandas? M: Personally, I’d rather watch something with a little bit more action. W: Let’s see here. How about this? On Channel 2 at 9 pm, there’s a basketball game. (9) M: Okay. I’ll keep you company while you are watching the game. (9) Text 8 W: Hello. I have a reservation for tonight. I’m Mary Green. M: OK. Let me check here. Room 306, on the third floor. Here is your room card. Free breakfast is served in our dining hall on the second floor, from 7 am to 9 am. (10) W: Is there a fitness room? I would like to run a few miles before going to bed. M: Yes. It is on the fourth floor. W: Do you have a fridge in each room? (11) M: Sure. But we charge you 5 dollars each night. (11) W: Many hotels offer free fridges. Can you cancel my reservation? I want to book another hotel. M: But it is 8 pm now. You have to pay 50% of the cost of your room if you cancel now. W: Oh, I forgot that rule. Well, give me my room card. (12) Text 9 W: With us today is Patrick Shaw, who is a hot-air balloon pilot. Patrick, is ballooning a safe sport? M: Yes. The pilot has complete control of the up-and-down movements. The pilot may not know exactly where the balloon will land, but that doesn’t mean he can’t control the landing. (13) W: OK! So what’s the best way to start as a pilot? M: Well, I started as a member of the “ground crew”. It’s a job which allows you to see what a balloon flight is all about. (14) But don’t expect any money in return for your efforts. W: I see. Can you say more about the ground crew? M: This job includes setting up the balloon, and even talking to the nervous passengers. The crew must arrive at the field before the balloon lands. But every single flight is difficult. Any change in the wind will mean the crew must adapt to it. This is the main problem since not even the pilot can predict things exactly. (15) W: So not anyone can be a member of the ground crew? M: I’d say that the main skill of the ground crew has more to do with dealing with different people. (16) When the balloon is landing, the crew has to ask the landowner for permission to get off. And yes, some tasks require a little bit of strength, but don’t worry, the majority don’t.

A 【导语】语篇类型是应用文，主题语境是人与自我之生活与学习。本文介绍了现代学校年度庆祝活动的安排、学生参与、表演内容及日期安排。 21. D。推理判断题。根据第一段This is a time when we celebrate and recognize the achievements of both the school and the students可知，庆祝活动是学校和学生成就的庆祝时刻，可以间接推断出我们可以通过这个活动了解学校教育项目的进展。 22. A。推理判断题。根据Course of Events部分的The celebration takes place over three days: one day is set aside for the Pre-Primary section, the second day is for the Primary Years Programme, and the final day is for students in Classes 6 to 12可知，庆祝活动为期三天：其中一天专为学前部安排，第二天是小学项目的活动时间，最后一天则面向六到十二年级的学生。所以可知，庆祝活动是针对不同年级的学生做安排的。 23. C。推理判断题。根据Dancing and Singing Performances部分的Additionally, we include storytelling and poetry recitations as breaks between the main performances可知，表演之间的休息时段包括故事讲述和诗朗诵，这些活动都与语言技能有关。 B 【导语】语篇类型是记叙文，主题语境是人与自然之环境保护。Kyle Thomas转变对异宠饲养的看法，开设动物救助中心，倡导公众认识到异宠并不适合家庭环境，旨在提高意识和保护动物福利。 24. B。细节理解题。根据第一段He soon realized his home was not a suitable environment for his unusual group of animals可知， Kyle在分享了他的异宠之后，意识到他家并不适合饲养这些特殊的动物。因此，他开始重视对这些动物的妥善照顾。 25. D。词义猜测题。根据画线部分的后文and decided to open his own exotic animal rescue centre可知，turned the whole hoo-ha on its head意味着Kyle把困扰他的问题转换成了一个新的机会。他从负面的经历(如母亲因带宠物而被指控)中反转过来，选择创建一个异国动物救助中心。 26. A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段The documentary follows Kyle as he buys a 14-acre piece of land to create a safe space for animals but faces objections from neighbors可知，社区最初对Kyle的救助中心构想持有异议和担忧，说明他们对该计划有许多顾虑和反对意见。 27. D。推理判断题。根据最后一段“I learned that meerkats don’t make good pets,” Kyle shares. He breaks down in tears upon discovering the reality of the illegal pet trade. “I want to change it and raise awareness.”可知，Kyle希望公众理解异国动物并不适合作为宠物，并且通过他的野生动物公园提升人们对于负责饲养宠物的意识。 C 【导语】语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是人与自然之环境保护。本文介绍了生物学家Beth Shapiro对复活渡渡鸟的看法，讨论了克隆技术的挑战以及其栖息地的变化对重引渡渡鸟的影响。 28. C。细节理解题。根据第二段For the verbal part of the IRQ, participants indicated agreement with statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself” on a one-to-five rating可知，文章提到Lupyan使用了被称为内部表征问卷(IRQ)的测量工具，参与者需要对某些陈述表示同意。这表明IRQ的目的是测量人们对特定陈述的认同程度。 29. B。推理判断题。根据第四段In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less accurate. For the rhyme judgments, people with more inner speech were also faster可知，拥有更多内在语言的人在某些任务上表现得更准确和更快速。这表明内在语言有助于提高任务表现。 30. C。细节理解题。根据第五段The groups showed no differences on these tasks. “People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,” suggests Lupyan可知，Lupyan提到“人们可能采用许多其他策略进行任务切换”，这表明任务切换可以通过多种方法来实现。 31. D。推理判断题。根据最后一段“It helps scientists find and integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the research becomes more disorganized.”可知，给予缺乏内在语言一个名称可以帮助科学家找到并整合某个主题的研究。这表明命名的目的是为了帮助科学家整理相关研究。 背景知识 “内部表征问卷(Internal Representations Questionnaire，简称 IRQ)”是一种用于评估个体内部心理表征的工具。它通常用于心理学、教育学以及相关领域的研究，旨在探索和测量人们如何在心中构建和组织对特定信息、概念或情境的理解。 D 【导语】 语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是人与自然之环境保护。本文介绍了生物学家Beth Shapiro对复活渡渡鸟的看法，讨论了克隆技术的挑战以及其栖息地的变化对重引渡渡鸟的影响。 32. A。作者意图题。第二段主要讲述了克隆的过程，从取成年细胞的DNA放入特制卵细胞，到卵细胞利用DNA形成各种细胞，都是在阐述克隆所涉及的步骤。 33. C。推理判断题。根据第三段Still, Shapiro notes that there could be many genetic differences between Asian elephants and mammoths和第四段This indicates that the genetic differences between these two bird species are significant…可知，猛犸象是灭绝动物，没有活细胞，虽然和亚洲象是近亲，但存在很多基因差异。渡渡鸟也没有可用的细胞，科学家得从其近亲尼科巴鸠入手改变DNA来复活渡渡鸟，但这两个物种的基因存在显著差异。这表明没有动物的基因能与它们（渡渡鸟和猛犸象）非常匹配。 34. A。推理判断题。在最后一段中，作者提到渡渡鸟的栖息地经历了重大变化，例如森林的减少和有害物种的引入，因此可以推断出栖息地的确受到了伤害。 35. B。标题归纳题。文章主要围绕“复活渡渡鸟是否可能”展开，提到了克隆面临的困难，如无可用细胞、基因差异大、栖息地变化等。故B项为最佳标题。 七选五 【导语】语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是人与社会之科学与技术。本文探讨了机械蜜蜂的优缺点，强调其在提高农业生产力和数据分析方面的优势，同时指出对生态系统可能带来的负面影响。 36. C。C项中的They指代前文提到的Robot bees，该选项中的to increase productivity in the agriculture industry对应空前提到的to do the important work of real bees。所以，C项“它们用于提高农业生产力”准确阐述了机械蜜蜂的主要功能，并与前文的背景信息相呼应。 37. E。空前强调“机械蜜蜂在数据收集和分析方面的优势”，E项“这有助于农民掌握更多控制权并做出更好的决策”完美补充了这一点，进一步说明了机械蜜蜂对农业经济的积极影响。 38. B。B项“温室正在成为一种越来越常见的食品种植方式”强调了温室的普及，为机械蜜蜂的使用提供了良好的市场背景。空后的these closed systems指代的是B项中的Greenhouses。 39. G。根据本段内容But robotic bees may not pollinate wildflowers like bees do, unless they are clearly programmed to do so可知，这里提到自然生态系统中野花授粉的重要性，G项“然而，机械蜜蜂可能会扰乱该地区的整个生态系统”恰好指出了机械蜜蜂潜在的生态风险，突出其缺陷。 40. F。最后一部分讨论机械蜜蜂的灵活性不足，它们面临的最大挑战是缺乏真正蜜蜂的灵活性和技能。真正的蜜蜂能够应对各种天气条件，迅速找到合适的花朵，并轻松管理花粉的采集。F项“在实际应用中，机械蜜蜂仍有很长的路要走”总结了机械蜜蜂面临的挑战，呼应前文讨论的不足之处。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 【导语】语篇类型是记叙文，主题语境是人与自我之生活与学习。作者在欣赏流星雨时，感到对自己选择的疑惑，最终决定放弃药剂学的学业，转而追求自己对星空的热爱，投身于太空研究。 41. D。前文提到作者每年都以同样的方式庆祝生日。根据后文描述，作者首次离家求学，这显示今年的情况与以往不同(different)。 42. B。根据语境可知，选择药剂学专业是一条作者已经计划了15年的道路。 43. C。根据后文Later, I met people with jobs in fields I had never ...可知，作者开始思考自己是否应该继续走这条已经计划好的道路，因此他对这个选择产生了疑问(question)。 44. D。空后所提到的这些领域的工作是作者之前从未想到过的(thought about)。 45. A。前文提到作者对观星有着终生的热爱，这种热爱更像是一种爱好(hobby)。 46. D。因为作者在一个小镇长大，从小就立志求学(pursue my education)，成为一名药剂师。 47. B。前文提到作者离开家乡去求学，虽然距离只有3.5小时车程，但对于作者来说，却恍如隔世(felt like a world away)。 48. C。作者在考虑是否要坚持(stick to)原计划还是尝试新事物。 49. B。后文提到作者做出了一个决定，即放弃药剂学去探索其他选择。因此，这个天象事件帮助作者做出了决定(decide)。 50. D。月亮逐渐(gradually)移动到太阳前面。 51. B。根据空后and I felt peace inside可知，作者的内心很平静，因此水面也应该是平静的(still)。 52. C。根据空后内容可知，作者知道(knew)自己应该做什么。 53. B。前文提到作者从未想过除了药剂学以外的其他领域，因此此处是指“对于他来说未曾想象过的(unimagined)选择”。 54. D。后文提到作者通过不懈的努力最终开始了太空研究的博士项目，这表明这四年是充满挑战的(challenging)。 55. B。作者通过分享(sharing)对宇宙的看法来帮助其他学生获得教育机会。 语法填空 【导语】语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是人与社会之历史、社会与文化。最新考古发现，青藏高原地区人类的居住历史可追溯至5万年前，揭示了古人类在极端环境中的生存能力和社会组织形式。 56. has been populated。考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空处为句子的谓语部分，句子的主语为The area of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau，与populate为动宾关系；再根据since 50,000 years ago可知，此处应用现在完成时，故填has been populated。 57. To uncover。考查非谓语动词。句意：为了揭开这段历史，西藏自治区文物保护研究所和古脊椎动物与古人类研究所的考古学家们开展了……。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处应填不定式作目的状语。 58. digging。考查非谓语动词。空白处所填词作介词of的宾语，故填动词的-ing形式。 59. and。考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空前的stone, bone, pottery, bronze artifacts和空后的plant remains为并列关系，此处表并列，所以填and。 60. which。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词为指代物的an area of over 1,000 square meters of the cave，故填which。 61. oldest。考查形容词的最高级。根据空前的the及句意可知，空处应用形容词的最高级，表示“最古老的”。 62. potentially。考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的动词短语dating back，需要用副词，故填potentially。 误的。根据上下句句意可知，此处为连词but表示转折，满足上下文逻辑关系。故填but。 63. painted。考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词are，故空处应为非谓语动词；结合句意“洞内有用红赭石绘制的直线和人物岩画”可知，paint与rock paintings构成逻辑意义上的动宾关系，故空处填painted。 64. before。考查介词。根据句意“由于气候因素或洞穴坍塌，该洞穴曾一度荒废，后来当地人又在此定居”可知，此处应填介词before。 65．考查介词。句意：ChatGPT揭示了一种更人性化的交互方式，更不用说它能够生成介于复制和创造性之间的答案。根据句意以及copying和creativity中间的and可知，此处为介词between的填入，构成between…and…“在……两者之间”。故填between。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高考模拟考试英语试题 英 语 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共5小题; 每小题1. 5分, 满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 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 Teenage star Kyle Thomas, who was popular on a short-video sharing platform, thought it was just a bit of harmless fun when he started posting videos of his growing collection of exotic (由外国引进的) pets alongside food reviews and funny moments. His meerkats (海猫) and three rescue foxes became popular, but the negative reactions began when Kyle shared images of his pet capybara (水豚), Queen Elizabeth, wearing a pumpkin hat for Halloween. He soon realized his home was not a suitable environment for his unusual group of animals. The turning point for Kyle came when the capybara passed away from natural causes, which resulted in his mother Zena being charged with illegally bringing her from England to Northern Ireland, where they live. So he turned the whole hoo-ha on its head and decided to open his own exotic animal rescue centre, which is featured in the new BBC documentary We Built A Zoo. “While bringing food to Queen Elizabeth before bed, I found her in a critical state. I tried to give her mouth-to-mouth and we drove her to the animal hospital but when we got there she’d passed away,” Kyle explains. Kyle reflects on previous misunderstandings, stating, “We bought Queen Elizabeth from someone who claimed to be trustworthy. They said we didn’t need a license.” He stresses the importance of people doing their research before getting exotic pets. “The capybara incident was an eye-opener. I want people to understand that exotic animals aren’t pets.” The documentary follows Kyle as he buys a 14-acre piece of land to create a safe space for animals but faces objections from neighbors. His fortunes turn when local farmer Phil Hughes steps in to help him transform Phil’s petting farm into a world-class animal center. “I learned that meerkats don’t make good pets,” Kyle shares. He breaks down in tears upon discovering the reality of the illegal pet trade. “I want to change it and raise awareness.” Now, the wildlife park is open to the public. “We’re turning a petting zoo into something with a greater mission.

C Most of us have an “inner voice,” and we assume everybody does. Recent evidence suggests people vary widely in the extent to which they experience inner speech. The study by cognitive (认知的) scientists Gary Lupyan and Johanne Nedergaard shows these differences are real and impact our cognition. As part of their ongoing research, Lupyan previously assessed 1,037 people using a measure called the Internal Representations Questionnaire (IRQ). For the verbal (口头的) part of the IRQ, participants indicated agreement with statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself”on a one-to-five rating. For their new study, Lupyan and Nedergaard selected 47 participants who scored high for having an inner voice and 46 who scored low. They then gave participants four language-related tasks they thought might be influenced by the use of inner speech. In the first, participants were shown five words and asked to repeat them back. The second involved saying whether the names of objects in two pictures rhymed. In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less accurate. For the rhyme judgments, people with more inner speech were also faster. “This study really tests what inner speech gives us in terms of cognitive benefits,” says psychologist Charles Fernyhough. The other two experiments tested task switching and participants’ ability to spot differences between two silhouettes (轮廓图形) that were from either the same or a different category. The groups showed no differences on these tasks. “People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,” suggests Lupyan. The research may have medical implications. “Someone with more inner speech might be more reliant on language in their thinking,” Lupyan says, “so language difficulty from a stroke (中风) could have a more severe effect.” Understanding how inner speech develops has implications for education, says neuroscientist Ladislas Nalborczyk. “Variations in children’s ability to represent speech sounds may impact their ability to learn the relation between sounds and writing,” he says. This may affect the way they learn to read and write, which probably has a huge impact on education. The researchers propose giving a lack of inner speech a name: “anendophasia.” “It helps scientists find and integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the research becomes more disorganized.” 28. What was the purpose of using IRQ? A. To change people’s experience of inner speech. B. To find out how many people have an inner voice. C. To measure people’s agreement with certain statements. D. To make people think about problems in a conversation form. 29. How does inner speech help with tasks? A. It offers more inspiration. B. It aids in better performance. C. It makes people more patient. D. It changes the way of thinking. 30. What does Lupyan suggest about task switching? A. Inner speech is the primary strategy for it. B. It is mainly affected by external environment. C. It can be achieved through various methods. D. Inner speech has little influence on its complexity. 31. Why do the researchers try to name the lack of inner speech? A. To make it easier to remember. B. To create a new concept for study. C. To tell it apart from other speech forms. D. To assist scientists in arranging research on it. D Biologist Beth Shapiro believes that it is quite unlikely we will see a dodo (a flightless bird) walking the earth again anytime soon. “When people consider the idea of bringing back extinct animals, they often think about cloning,” Shapiro stated. Cloning is the method that produced Dolly the sheep in 1996 and another species in 2020. It involves creating a genetic copy of an animal by taking DNA from a living adult cell and placing it into a specially prepared egg cell. Adult cells contain all the necessary DNA to develop into a living creature. The egg cells then use this DNA to form different types of cells—such as skin, organs, blood, and bones—that the animal needs. However, there are no usable cells from the dodo available today. Shapiro explained that scientists would have to start with the DNA of a closely related species and change it to make it look like that of the dodo. For instance, mammoths (a type of elephant), which are also extinct, lack any living cells. But since they are closely related to modern Asian elephants, researchers are attempting to bring mammoths back by creating a hybrid (杂交生物体). This involves adding some mammoth genes into the DNA of an elephant egg cell. Still, Shapiro notes that there could be many genetic differences between Asian elephants and mammoths. In the case of the dodo, its nearest living relative is the Nicobar pigeon, a smaller and more colorful bird that can fly. While mammoths and Asian elephants are quite similar, it has been over 20 million years since the dodo and the Nicobar pigeon shared a common ancestor. This indicates that the genetic differences between these two bird species are significant, making it challenging to create a successful hybrid in the laboratory, Shapiro emphasized. Even if scientists manage to bring back dodos, the island where they once lived has undergone substantial changes. The loss of forests, the introduction of harmful species, and human activities would make it very difficult to reintroduce dodos without considerable help. 32. What is the main point the author aims to convey in paragraph 2? A. The procedure involved in cloning. B. Progress made in cloning techniques. C. The challenges associated with cloning. D. Different types of famous cloned animals. 33. What similarity between mammoths and dodos can be concluded from Shapiro’s words? A. Both lack close living relatives. B. They possess a similar type of DNA. C. No animals’ genes closely match theirs. D. Their living cells are difficult to preserve. 34. What is suggested in the last paragraph? A. The habitat of dodos has been harmed. B. There are plans to create an island for dodos. C. There is public support for bringing back dodos. D. Severe climate changes led to the extinction of dodos. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How can we protect dodos-like species? B. Is it possible to bring dodos back to life? C. What motivates scientists to clone dodos? D. Should the impact of cloning be expanded? 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Robot bees, or mechanical bees, are machines created to do the important work of real bees. 36 Their popularity is growing because natural bee populations are becoming weaker. While robot bees have some benefits, they also come with certain drawbacks. One major benefit of robot bees is that they are more productive than real bees. Farmers who use these machines can increase their crop yields by 20 to 40 percent compared to those who rely on traditional honey bees. Additionally, robot bees are good at gathering and analyzing data about the crops. 37 In this sense, tiny robots could have a big economic impact. Robot bees can also be useful in greenhouses, where they can pollinate (给……授粉) plants without needing to open the space up to the actual wild. 38 This offers robot bees a more promising market as they are safer to use in these closed systems. 39 There’s this whole food web that is maintained through bees pollinating wildflowers. But robotic bees may not pollinate wildflowers like bees do, unless they are clearly programmed to do so. The wildflower communities would start to collapse, which would then affect all our birds and mammals (哺乳动物). The biggest challenge with robot bees is that they lack the flexibility and skill of real bees. Real bees have evolved (进化) over millions of years to handle various weather conditions, quickly find the right flowers, and manage pollen collection with ease. Even the best robotic systems struggle to match these abilities. 40 A. But the noise generated by robot bees can disturb local wildlife. B. Greenhouses are becoming more common as a way to grow food. C. They are used to increase productivity in the agriculture industry. D. Robotic bees are expected to help protect natural bee populations. E. This helps farmers to have more control and make better decisions. F. There is still a long way for robot bees to be fully applied in the field. G. However, robot bees could disturb the given area’s entire ecosystems. 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。 It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as I had for years: by watching the annual August sky show, the Perseid meteor shower (英仙座流星雨).

Archaeologists have unearthed more than 10,000 pieces of cultural items, including stone, bone, pottery, bronze artifacts, 59 plant remains dating from the Paleolithic Age to the early Metal Ages in an area of over 1,000 square meters of the cave, 60 is located on a highland 4,700 meters above the sea level. Zhang Xiaoling from the IVPP said the 61 (old) cultural remains in the cave are dated earlier than 53,000 years ago, with some 62 (potential) dating back to 80,000 years ago. The top layer was dated 1,000 years ago. There are rock paintings of straight lines and human figures 63 (paint) in red ochre (赭石) inside the cave. According to the study, the cave had been deserted due to climatic factors or cave collapses, 64 locals settled there again in the later period. Multi-period cultural remains were discovered in the cave, which provide important pieces of evidence of ancient humans exploring 65 (survive) abilities in the extreme environment, showing their migration (迁徙) patterns and social organization forms. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校英语社计划组织以“减压赋能，高效学习”为主题的活动。作为英语社社长，请你写一封电子邮件，邀请你校外教Jack参加，内容包括： 1. 活动基本信息 2. 活动具体内容 注意：1.词数：80词左右； 2.可适当增加细节，使内容完整、连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 66. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Once upon a time, in the middle of a busy life, I came across an old saying: “How happy you are can be seen in how much you help others. When you try to make others happy, you feel happy too.” These wise words stayed with me, but I really understood them after something big happened in my life. It all started when I was looking through social media and saw a friend’s post about how important it is to get regular health checks. One thing caught my eye: “Ladies, don’t forget to get your yearly breast exam. Finding problems early can save your life.” It really hit home, so I made an appointment with my doctor right away, feeling a mix of anxiety and determination about my health. A few weeks later, when I was sitting nervously in the doctor’s office, she said something that made me feel very cold inside. “Lisa, your breast exam showed something not normal. We need to do more tests, but it might be breast cancer.” It was like a hard blow to my stomach, but I got ready for what was to come, steeling myself for the battle ahead. After lots of tests, the doctor told me I had cancer. She explained the treatment plan, which included surgery and radiation. It was scary and overwhelming, but I decided to face it and beat it with every bit of strength I had. After going through pre-surgery tests, the operation was scheduled at the nearby hospital. I was scheduled to be the first person to undergo the new method of treating cancer. This is an operation where the patient and the machine are in one room, and the doctor is in the nearby room operating the remote surgical controls, allowing for precision and care in this critical moment. I felt a mix of hope and fear, knowing that this was just the beginning of my journey. 续写要求： 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。 Finally the operation began. ________________________________________________________________________ I decided to give back for my good fortune.. ________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
