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 (猫鼬) 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. It’s a long road ahead, but it’s exciting.” 4. What did Kyle do after sharing his exotic pets online? A. He focused more on making videos. B. He recognized the need for proper care. C. He wanted to adopt more exotic animals. D. He stopped caring about their wellbeing. 5. What does the phrase “turned the whole hoo-ha on its head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Ignored the situation. B. Created more problems. C. Inspired others to take action. D. Turned a problem into an opportunity. 6. How did the community initially react to Kyle’s idea for a rescue center? A. They had many concerns. B. They asked a local farmer for help. C. They tried to help him with resources. D. They offered useful suggestions for his plan. 7. What does Kyle aim to do with the wildlife park? A. To create a facility specifically for meerkats. B. To offer a variety of exotic animals for adoption. C. To provide a fun petting zoo experience for children. D. To educate the public about responsible pet ownership. 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.” 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How can we protect dodo-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. ___16___ 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. ___17___ 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. ___18___ This offers robot bees a more promising market as they are safer to use in these closed systems. ___19___ 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. ___20___ 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).

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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 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.

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. It’s a long road ahead, but it’s exciting.” 4. What did Kyle do after sharing his exotic pets online? A. He focused more on making videos. B. He recognized the need for proper care. C. He wanted to adopt more exotic animals. D. He stopped caring about their wellbeing. 5. What does the phrase “turned the whole hoo-ha on its head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Ignored the situation. B. Created more problems. C. Inspired others to take action. D. Turned a problem into an opportunity. 6. How did the community initially react to Kyle’s idea for a rescue center? A. They had many concerns. B. They asked a local farmer for help. C. They tried to help him with resources. D. They offered useful suggestions for his plan. 7. What does Kyle aim to do with the wildlife park? A. To create a facility specifically for meerkats. B. To offer a variety of exotic animals for adoption. C. To provide a fun petting zoo experience for children. D. To educate the public about responsible pet ownership. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7.

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.(水豚因自然原因离世，成了凯尔人生的转折点。这件事还导致他的母亲泽娜遭到指控，罪名是非法将这只水豚从英格兰带到他们所居住的北爱尔兰。于是凯尔turned the whole hoo-ha on its head，决定创办一家外来动物救助中心，英国广播公司的新纪录片《We Built A Zoo》就专门介绍了这家机构。)”可知，原本的麻烦事被他转变成了新的发展方向，该短语turned the whole hoo-ha on its head应表示“把难题转化为机遇”。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“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.(纪录片记录了凯尔买下14英亩土地打算为动物打造安全居所，却遭到了邻居们的反对。)”可知，社区居民起初对此抱有诸多顾虑。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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.”(他强调了人们在饲养外来宠物之前进行研究的重要性。“水豚事件令人大开眼界。我希望人们明白，外来动物不是宠物。”)”以及最后一段“I want to change it and raise awareness.(我想改变现状，提升人们的相关意识。)”可知，凯尔希望借助这座野生动物园，向大众科普负责任的养宠观念。 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.” 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项关于内心话语的研究，探究其对人们完成语言类任务的影响，还阐述了该研究在医学、教育领域的意义以及命名相关现象的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(在内在表征问卷的口头测试部分，参与者按照一至五分制，表明自己对诸如“我在脑海中以自我对话的形式思考问题”这类说法的认同程度。)” 可知，使用该问卷的目的是衡量人们对特定表述的认同程度。 【9题详解】 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.(在这两项任务中，内心话语较少的一组准确率更低。而在押韵判断任务里，内心话语丰富的人作答速度也更快。)”可知，内心话语有助于人们在任务中表现得更好。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,(人们或许可以运用许多其他方法来完成任务转换，)”可知，卢皮扬认为任务转换可以通过多种方式实现。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。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.”(卢皮扬说：“它有助于科学家发现和整合某一主题的研究。如果研究某事物的人用不同的名字称呼它，研究就会变得更加混乱。”)”可知，研究者为“无内心话语”现象命名，是为了方便科学家整理相关研究。 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How can we protect dodo-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? 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文以克隆技术为切入点，从基因差异、现存细胞、栖息地环境等方面分析，说明短期内复活渡渡鸟存在诸多难题。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“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.(克隆涉及通过从活的成年细胞中提取DNA并将其放入专门制备的卵细胞中来创建动物的基因拷贝。)”以及后文对细胞发育过程的介绍可知，第二段主要讲解克隆技术的操作流程。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(如今已经没有可用的渡渡鸟细胞。夏皮罗解释说，科学家只能选取近缘物种的DNA并进行改造，来模拟渡渡鸟的基因。)”和“But since they are closely related to modern Asian elephants, researchers are attempting to bring mammoths back by creating a hybrid.(猛犸象与现代亚洲象亲缘相近，研究人员尝试通过杂交的方式复活猛犸象。)” 可知，渡渡鸟和猛犸象都没有基因高度匹配的现存动物，只能依靠改造近缘物种基因开展研究。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(即使科学家设法带回渡渡鸟，它们曾经居住的岛屿也发生了巨大的变化。森林的丧失、有害物种的引入和人类活动将使在没有大量帮助的情况下很难重新引入渡渡鸟。)”可知，渡渡鸟的栖息地已经遭到了破坏。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Biologist Beth Shapiro believes that it is quite unlikely we will see a dodo (a flightless bird) walking the earth again anytime soon.(生物学家贝丝・夏皮罗认为，我们在短期内不太可能再次见到渡渡鸟重现地球。)”结合全文内容可知，文章围绕能否复活渡渡鸟展开分析，探讨其中的技术与环境难题。所以B项“Is it possible to bring dodos back to life?(渡渡鸟有可能复活吗？)”符合文意。 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. ___16___ 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. ___17___ 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. ___18___ This offers robot bees a more promising market as they are safer to use in these closed systems. ___19___ 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. ___20___ 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. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. G 20.

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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。讲述作者偶然看到一句名言，明白助人能收获快乐，而一场变故让她真正读懂这句话。她刷到朋友提醒女性定期做乳腺检查的动态后，立刻预约体检，却不幸查出乳腺癌。后续她要接受手术与放疗，还成为院内新型远程手术疗法的首位接受者，怀着忐忑与希望，勇敢开启了对抗病魔的历程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写手术顺利完成，作者出院。康复过程虽伴随不适与艰辛，但情况逐渐好转，她积极面对。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写心怀感恩的作者加入公益帮扶贫困孩子，身体与心境日渐变好，小女孩的话也让她领悟了老话的真谛。 2.续写线索：手术顺利完成→作者出院→加入公益帮扶贫困孩子→身体与心境日渐变好→感悟 3.词类激活： 行为类： 摆脱：get rid of/rid oneself of 帮助：help/assist 情绪类 令人害怕的：scary/frightening 高兴的：happy/delighted/glad 【点睛】【高分句型1】 However, we knew we had taken the first step to getting rid of the cancer.
