Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 19. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A.

There’s no denying that learning a foreign language is difficult, and when it comes to speaking the language, it can be extremely tough.

This can be a hard one, especially if you are in a large language class. It is important to remember that we all learn At different speeds and through different styles of learning.

Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident Lastly, celebrate the small success and remember how far you have come!

In an analysis of 16 cities around the world, those that saw the biggest temperature rises over the years also had more rat complaints over time, researchers reported in Science Advances. Jonathan Richardson, a researcher of the University of Richmond in Virginia, together with his team, gathered records of complaints made about rats over an average of 12 years from 13 US cities, as well as Toronto, Tokyo and Amsterdam. They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化) , economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased. “The unseasonably warm winters of climate change,” Richardson says, “probably buy rats extra time outdoors. An extra week or two foraging (觅食) outdoors… that’s, in some cases, adequate for a rat to reproduce one more time.” Warming weather also means fewer opportunities to control rat populations. “There used to be a rodent (啮齿动物) season: Rats sought shelter indoors in winter with lower birth rates, allowing professionals to take advantage of the chance to control. Now it’s all year round,” says Bobby Corrigan, a rodentologist. “When humans and rats share space, there are really a variety of risks coming along, ” says Niamh Quinn, a human-wildlife interactions advisor at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources in Irvine. Rats not only make people jump and scream, but also chew up car wiring and eat crops and gardens. Their wastes pollute food that they get into, and they can spread diseases. They cause around 27 billion dollars in damage each year in the United States, and the world spends 500 million dollars per year fighting a losing battle against the creature. Higher temperatures may make matters worse; “At some point there’s going to be hopefully not, but potentially the perfect storm, where we have all these increasing population, all these rodents but not enough tools in our toolbox to manage them, ” said Bobby. 30. What mainly contributes to the rise in rat populations in cities? A. The progression of urbanization. B. Increase in city-temperatures. C. The shortening of rodent seasons. D. Improved reporting of rat complaints. 31. What does the underlined word “adequate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sufficient. B. Demanding. C. Unlikely. D. Unsuitable. 32. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 4? A. Measures to track rat complaints. B. Damage of high temperatures. C. The reasons for high birth rates of rats. D. The seriousness of the increasing rats. 33. What can be the best title for the text? A. More Rodent Activities Drive Hotter Climates. B. Major Cities Take Responsibility For Rat Rises. C. Rodent Activities Impact the Climate Globally. D. Rising Rat Populations Result From Rising Heat. 三、七选五 People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____34____ Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____35____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____36____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____37____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____38____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. Overuse harms professionalism. B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. 四、完形填空(15空) Daniel was a college student planning his summer vacation.

However, days before summer began, he ____40____ an idea that would change everything. ____41____ by two social media users who had traveled across the US helping strangers, he took to the social news site to ____42____ the word. With his family’s airline pass, he could ____43____ almost for free and do something ____44____ instead of just traveling abroad. His ____45____ covered many tasks: delivering letters, volunteering for a day, working in a garden, or joining someone on a hike. In less than 24 hours, he ____46____ about 300 responses (回复) from people around the world. Some were ____47____ — like giving a hug to a father who had a hard time — and some were downright strange — such as collecting a talent show ribbon (绶带). Choosing which to accept was a real ____48____. Over 11 weeks, Daniel ____49____ for 62 countries and several US cities, completing around 30 of these tasks. He helped move a sofa in Denver, and ____50____ English in a rural Thai school. The simplest ____51____ — washing a family’s car — left the biggest impression. Their young son, who faced serious health issues, was overjoyed by Daniel’s help. Daniel was also amazed by the ____52____ of strangers who offered him a bed, a meal, and even lent him a car. Now back home, Daniel hopes to ____53____ this journey next summer. 39. A. job B. friend C. bank D. reason 40. A. stood up for B. made up for C. came up with D. kept up with 41. A. Tracked B.

A. test B. pay C. repeat D. refuse 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Music is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. Its impact on the human brain and emotions is profound. Studies have shown that listening to music can reduce stress, alleviate pain, and improve mood. This is because music activates the brain’s reward system, ____54____ (release) dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure. ____55____ is particularly powerful in evoking memories. A song from our past can instantly transport us back to a specific time and place, ____56____ (trigger) a flood of associated emotions. This connection makes music a valuable tool in therapy for patients with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Beyond its emotional effects, music also enhances cognitive performance. The “Mozart effect,” ____57____ suggests listening to classical music can temporarily boost spatial reasoning, has been widely debated. However, learning to play a musical instrument has clearer benefits. It improves memory, attention, and executive function by strengthening the connections between the brain’s two hemispheres. ____58____ (play) an instrument is like a full-body workout for the brain. In social contexts, music fosters cohesion. From national anthems to protest songs, it ____59____ (use) to unite people and express collective identity. Despite the diversity of musical styles across the globe, the core elements — rhythm, melody, harmony — speak to a shared human experience. In an increasingly fragmented world, music serves as a reminder of our common humanity. It can comfort us in sorrow, amplify our joy, and provide a soundtrack to our lives. Whether we are actively ____60____ (listen) or passively hearing it, music shapes our inner world in ways we are only beginning ____61____ (understand). It is not merely entertainment; it is a fundamental part of ____62____ makes us human, an art form that resonates with the very rhythm of life ____63____. 六、书面表达 64. 你校英文报将举行“艺术与心理健康”主题征文活动。请结合下图写一篇短文投稿，内容要点如下: 1. 艺术对心理健康的好处; 2. 发出倡议。 注意: 1. 写作词数应为 80 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Art Lifts Spirits _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 七、读后续写 65. 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｡ My name is Shaquille O’Neal, but no, I am not the legendary basketball star everyone knows. My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon,while I'm a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it. Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines. Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose. The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in there than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile. By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way? Why don’t you take advantage of what you are? I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor. Why don’t you get faster?” 注意: 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答｡ What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2025-2026学年岷县第一中学、第二中学、第三学校、第四中学高三5月考前模拟考试 (英语)试卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需或动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、听力题 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why does the woman support the project?

You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.(你可能会考虑通过训练来燃烧卡路里。你可以通过下面的练习获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果)”可知，本文主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼，因此目的是提供燃烧卡路里的方法。故选C。 There’s no denying that learning a foreign language is difficult, and when it comes to speaking the language, it can be extremely tough. I remember walking into my first-ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in many languages. It’s safe to say I felt out of my depth! At first the thought of speaking Spanish terrified me; not only were my vocabulary and grammar very limited, but I had never spoken another language before. However, I was determined to overcome my fear, and by adopting a few simple method T have b to build my confidence and make progress. In fact, it was not as terrible as I thought. Here, I think I will share a few tips with you. Firstly, it is OK to make mistakes for language learners and that you should accept them. This sounds obvious, but when it comes to language learning we often aim for perfection d feel as though we are not ready to speak until we have “enough” words or grammatical knowledge. The truth is that you will never feel ready, and instead it is important to use the knowledge to communicate what you can. This leads on to my next tip: don’t compare yourself to others. This can be a hard one, especially if you are in a large language class. It is important to remember that we all learn At different speeds and through different styles of learning. Something that really helped me progress/was finding a patient language exchange partner. Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident Lastly, celebrate the small success and remember how far you have come! Instead of focusing on how far you have to go, focus on the progress you have already made and be proud of your achievements! 22. What does the underlined part suggest in the passage? A. The author took great pride in his classmates. B. The author was unable to speak many languages. C. The author wanted to leave university immediately. D. The author failed to join in his classmates’ conversation. 23. What is the common barrier for language learners? A. They can’t use the language in right situations. B. They fail to have a good command of grammar. C. They can’t help comparing themselves to others. D. They have a lack of courage to speak the language. 24. What’s the best way to learn Spanish in the author’s opinion? A. Find a partner whose Spanish is excellent. B. Set long-term goals to improve interest. C. Learn from an example and pick out weak points. D. Choose a language exchange partner at the same level. 25. What does the author want to tell in the passage? A. Learning new languages is not so hard. B. Mastering Spanish is a chance in a million. C. Confidence is the key to speaking a language. D. Don’t ignore what you have achieved in learning. 【答案】22. B 23. D 24. D 25. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文对如何说好一种语言提出了一些建议。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember walking into my first-ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in many languages.(我记得在大学里第一次走进西班牙语课堂时，我发现有一半的同学已经能流利地讲多种语言了。) ”和第二段“At first the thought of speaking Spanish terrified me; not only were my vocabulary and grammar very limited, but I had never spoken another language before.(起初，一想到要说西班牙语，我就害怕；我不仅词汇量和语法非常有限，而且以前从未说过其他语言。)”可知，作者不会说多种语言。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Firstly, it is OK to make mistakes for language learners and that you should accept them.(首先，对于语言学习者来说犯错是可以的，你应该接受错误。) ”和第四段“don’t compare yourself to others.(不要拿自己和别人比较。) ”可知，人们害怕犯错误，总是拿自己和别人比较，从而导致缺乏说这种语言的勇气。所以，语言学习者的共同障碍是他们缺乏说这种语言的勇气。故选D。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Something that really helped me progress was finding a patient language exchange partner. Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident.(真正帮助我进步的是找到一个耐心的语言交换伙伴。找一个英语水平和我西班牙语水平差不多的人一起练习，让我感觉更加自信。)”可知，在作者看来，学习西班牙语最好的方法是选择一个水平相同的语言交换伙伴。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, I was determined to overcome my fear, and by adopting a few simple methods I have been able to build my confidence and make progress. In fact,it was not as terrible as I thought.(然而，我决心克服我的恐惧，通过采取一些简单的方法，我已经能够建立我的信心，取得进步。事实上，它没有我想的那么可怕)”可知，作者想在这篇文章中告诉我们学习一门新的语言并没有那么难。故选A。 CAREER CORNERS Learn more about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) professionals through our Career Corner videos and highlights!

Jonathan Richardson, a researcher of the University of Richmond in Virginia, together with his team, gathered records of complaints made about rats over an average of 12 years from 13 US cities, as well as Toronto, Tokyo and Amsterdam. They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化) , economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased. “The unseasonably warm winters of climate change,” Richardson says, “probably buy rats extra time outdoors. An extra week or two foraging (觅食) outdoors… that’s, in some cases, adequate for a rat to reproduce one more time.” Warming weather also means fewer opportunities to control rat populations. “There used to be a rodent (啮齿动物) season: Rats sought shelter indoors in winter with lower birth rates, allowing professionals to take advantage of the chance to control. Now it’s all year round,” says Bobby Corrigan, a rodentologist. “When humans and rats share space, there are really a variety of risks coming along, ” says Niamh Quinn, a human-wildlife interactions advisor at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources in Irvine. Rats not only make people jump and scream, but also chew up car wiring and eat crops and gardens. Their wastes pollute food that they get into, and they can spread diseases. They cause around 27 billion dollars in damage each year in the United States, and the world spends 500 million dollars per year fighting a losing battle against the creature. Higher temperatures may make matters worse; “At some point there’s going to be hopefully not, but potentially the perfect storm, where we have all these increasing population, all these rodents but not enough tools in our toolbox to manage them, ” said Bobby. 30. What mainly contributes to the rise in rat populations in cities? A. The progression of urbanization. B. Increase in city-temperatures. C. The shortening of rodent seasons. D. Improved reporting of rat complaints. 31. What does the underlined word “adequate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sufficient. B. Demanding. C. Unlikely. D. Unsuitable. 32. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 4? A. Measures to track rat complaints. B. Damage of high temperatures. C. The reasons for high birth rates of rats. D. The seriousness of the increasing rats. 33. What can be the best title for the text? A. More Rodent Activities Drive Hotter Climates. B. Major Cities Take Responsibility For Rat Rises. C. Rodent Activities Impact the Climate Globally. D. Rising Rat Populations Result From Rising Heat. 【答案】30. B 31. A 32. D 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气温上升导致城市老鼠数量增加及其影响。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化), economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased.(他们发现，在包括城市化水平、经济发展、人口增长和平均气温等因素中，与老鼠数量快速增长关联最强的因素是城市气温的上升幅度。)”可知，城市气温的上升是导致城市老鼠数量增加的主要原因。故选B。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““The unseasonably warm winters of climate change,” Richardson says, “probably buy rats extra time outdoors. An extra week or two foraging (觅食) outdoors… that’s, in some cases, adequate for a rat to reproduce one more time.”(理查德森表示：“气候变化带来的异常温暖的冬天，可能会给老鼠争取到更多待在户外的时间。额外一两周的户外觅食时间……在某些情况下，adequate让一只老鼠多繁殖一次。”)”可知，划线词上文提到了气候变化带来的异常温暖的冬天，可能会给老鼠争取到更多待在户外的时间，下文提到了让一只老鼠多繁殖一次，可推理出此处说的是在某些情况下，老鼠在户外多觅食一两周就足以让它们再繁殖一次。由此可知，adequate在此处意为“足够的”，与Sufficient含义相近。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Rats not only make people jump and scream, but also chew up car wiring and eat crops and gardens. Their wastes pollute food that they get into, and they can spread diseases. They cause around 27 billion dollars in damage each year in the United States, and the world spends 500 million dollars per year fighting a losing battle against the creature. Higher temperatures may make matters worse.(老鼠不仅会让人跳起来尖叫，还会咬坏汽车电线，吃掉庄稼和花园。它们的排泄物会污染它们接触到的食物，还会传播疾病。它们每年在美国造成约270亿美元的损失，而全世界每年花费5亿美元来对抗这种生物，但却是一场注定失败的战斗。而气温升高可能会让情况雪上加霜。)”可知，该段提及老鼠会让人受到惊吓、啃咬汽车线路、破坏农作物、污染食物、传播疾病，还会造成巨大经济损失，且气温升高可能让情况更糟。这些内容均在说明老鼠数量增加带来的严重后果，即老鼠数量增多的严重性。故选D。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In an analysis of 16 cities around the world, those that saw the biggest temperature rises over the years also had more rat complaints over time, researchers reported in Science Advances.(研究人员在《科学进展》杂志上报告称，在对全球16个城市的分析中，那些多年来气温上升幅度最大的城市，随着时间的推移，老鼠投诉也更多。)”、第二段“They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化), economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased.(他们发现，在包括城市化水平、经济发展、人口增长和平均气温等因素中，与老鼠数量快速增长关联最强的因素是城市气温的上升幅度。)”可知，本文主要讨论的是气温上升导致老鼠数量增加的问题。因此，D选项“Rising Rat Populations Result From Rising Heat(老鼠数量增加源于气温上升)”能准确概括文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选D。 三、七选五 People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____34____ Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____35____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____36____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____37____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____38____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. Overuse harms professionalism. B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. 【答案】34. D 35. F 36. B 37. E 38. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了幽默助力科普，可简化知识、增进互动，但使用不当易误导大众。科普要兼顾趣味与严谨，适度巧用幽默。 【34题详解】 前文“This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online.( 幽默的这种魔力不仅在日常生活中有效，在科学领域（尤其是在网络上）也同样如此。)”引出“幽默在科学领域（尤其是线上）同样闪耀”的核心话题，后文分点阐述幽默在科学传播中的具体好处。本空需要一个承上启下的总起句，概括幽默对科学传播的整体作用。D选项“A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.( 一点幽默就能极大地提升科学家的沟通效果。)”起到承上启下的作用，上下文语意连贯。 【35题详解】 上文“Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.( 首先，幽默能简化复杂的科学知识。)”本段第一个分论点是“幽默简化艰深的科学知识”，后文“For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand.( 例如，用一个关于“机器像笨拙的学步儿童一样学习”的有趣类比来解释自动驾驶汽车中的人工智能，能让非专业人士更容易理解抽象的概念。)”用“用笨拙学步儿童类比自动驾驶 AI”的例子支撑。本空是对分论点的同义转述和补充说明，F选项“It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.( 它有助于使复杂的概念为普通人所理解。)”中“complex concepts understandable”与“simplifies tough scientific knowledge”完全对应，同时引出下文举例。 【36题详解】 前文“For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand.( 例如，用一个关于“机器像笨拙的学步儿童一样学习”的有趣类比来解释自动驾驶汽车中的人工智能，能让非专业人士更容易理解抽象的概念。)”讲完第一个好处，后文“Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts.( 科学家在社交媒体上分享关于实验室实验的聪明幽默故事，往往比枯燥的学术帖子吸引更多的互动。)”提到“幽默的实验室故事比干巴巴的学术帖子吸引更多互动”，这是幽默的第二个核心好处。B选项“It also boosts audience engagement effectively.( 同时还能有效地提高观众的参与度。)”用 “also”自然过渡，“boosts audience engagement” 与后文“attract more interactions”形成精准对应。 【37题详解】 前两段全在讲幽默的积极作用，以及下文“The hidden risks deserve our attention.( 隐藏的风险值得我们关注。)”突然转向“隐藏的风险值得关注”。本空需要一个强转折句，完成从 “利”到“弊”的逻辑切换，E选项“Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.( 幽默在科学交流中是一把双刃剑。)”中“double-edged sword（双刃剑）” 完美概括了幽默既有好处也有风险的特点。 【38题详解】 上文“Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness.( 恰当的幽默运用需要在生动表达和专业精准之间取得平衡。它既不能掩盖核心的科学信息，也不能过于浅显以至于失去严肃性。)”讲的是恰当的幽默需要注意的事项，空处反向说明过度使用幽默带来的不良影响。A选项“Overuse harms professionalism.( 过度使用会损害专业形象。)”起到承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。 四、完形填空(15空) Daniel was a college student planning his summer vacation.

My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon,while I'm a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it. Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines. Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose. The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in there than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile. By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way? Why don’t you take advantage of what you are? I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor. Why don’t you get faster?” 注意: 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答｡ What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense: I had been so busy trying to act tough and guard the tallest players that I completely ignored my own strength — speed. For the first time, I stopped focusing on my height and poor dribbling. Instead, I started practicing running every day after school, racing along the street and practicing quick turns. I no longer tried to fight with big guys but learned to use my speed to move freely on the court. Skimmy’s words lit up a path for me, and I was determined to show my value in my own way. The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan. When the game began, I ran quickly across the court, stealing the ball from opponents before they could react. My speed surprised everyone, including Louis. I passed the ball accurately to teammates and helped score several times. I didn’t get hurt or sit on the bench anymore. At the end of the game, my teammates cheered for me. For the first time, I truly felt like a useful part of the team, and my heart was full of pride and joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“篮球追梦”为线索展开，讲述了与传奇球星同名却身材矮小、球技不佳的Shaquille，在篮球联赛中常年坐冷板凳，试图靠强硬风格弥补不足却屡屡受伤，最终在护士Skimmy的点拨下，发现自身速度优势、努力练习，最终在赛场上证明自己的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“Skimmy说的话很有道理：”可知，接下来可描写作者听完Skimmy的话后的顿悟，意识到自己的错误，发现自身速度优势，并开始针对性练习。 ② 由第二段首句“下一个周六，我带着不一样的计划踏上了球场。”可知，接下来可描写作者在赛场上运用速度优势，改变打球风格，突破自我，获得队友认可，实现自我价值。 2. 续写线索 顿悟Skimmy的点拨——发现自身速度优势——针对性练习速度与技巧——赛场运用速度突破——获得队友认可——体会到篮球的快乐与自身价值 3.词类激活 行为类 ①忽略：ignore/overlook ②专注于：focus on/concentrate on ③喝彩：cheer/applaud 情绪类 ①决心做：be determined to/resolve to ②快乐：joy/pleasure/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】 I had been so busy trying to act tough and guard the tallest players that I completely ignored my own strength — speed.（运用了so...that...句型引导结果状语从句） 【高分句型2】 When the game began, I ran quickly across the court, stealing the ball from opponents before they could react.（运用了when和before引导时间状语从句，以及现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Did you hear they are turning that empty lot into a butterfly garden? really?
