One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 24. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 25. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 26. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Humble and responsible. B. Strong-willed and helpful. C. Innovative and generous. D. Good-natured and tolerant. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Fortune favors the prepared. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. . Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 28. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments. C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 29. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The context included in understanding meanings. B. The definitions made by words in communication. C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 30. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people. C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 31. What does the author suggest in communication? A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally. C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones. D When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a Ph. D. student, he collected a bag of penguin (企鹅) feathers. A decade later, Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury (汞) pollution in the Southern Hemisphere, a growing threat to wildlife. Mercury, a poisonous by-product of gold mining, becomes more and more in the food chain and affects animals’ nervous systems. While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring. Penguins have a way to dispose of mercury through their feathers, which they molt (换羽) regularly. Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury. They found a clear relationship between mercury levels and carbon-13, which varies geographically and acts as a marker for where penguins feed or breed (繁殖). The study confirmed this pattern across seven penguin species in the Southern Ocean, revealing higher mercury exposure in northern, warmer regions with higher carbon-13 levels. The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants. By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment. For example, penguin species living near each other showed different mercury and carbon-13 levels due to varying migration and feeding patterns. These data could be modeled into a map-like database to aid conservation and polar research. Marine scientist Miriam Gimeno Castells notes that penguins are mid-level predators (捕食性动物), and undergo dramatic molts, making it easy to collect feathers from many individuals. The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the nonbreeding season. Sontag plans to collect newer feathers from different species and compare mercury levels in penguins’ blood and their food with those in their feathers. As for the penguins’ health, senior author John Reinfelder makes it clear that they have not yet been exposed to poisonous mercury levels. “The penguins will be okay,” he says. 32. How did Sontag use the penguin feathers he collected? A. He kept them as a reminder of his trip. B. He studied the content of a chemical in them. C. He observed their changes in different environments. D. He classified them to identify different species of penguins. 33. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Recognize. B. Consume. C. Remove. D. Combine. 34. What do we know about penguins from the text? A. They are ideal bioindicators. B. They are sensitive to carbon-13. C. They are top-level predators in the food chain. D. They are free from the effects of human activities. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Life Cycle of Penguins in Antarctica. B. Gold Mining and Its Effects on Penguins. C. The Impact of Climate Change on Penguin Populations. D. Penguins Help Map Antarctica’s Growing Mercury Threat. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anyone with an internet connection can watch breaking news, or at least some version of it. Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context. ____36____ How do you know what to trust and what not to share? Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online. ____37____ Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. Of course, not all misinformation is serious. Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people, so be as skeptical of silly stories as serious ones. Slow down while reading or watching. Social media is built for things to go viral, for users to quickly share before they are even done reading the words. No matter how shocking, enlightening or annoying a TikTok or YouTube video is, you must wait before passing it on to your network. ____38____ That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate. So assume everything is suspect until you confirm its authenticity (真实性). Don’t use AI to get news. Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news. ____39____ They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility. Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers (免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information. ____40____ A. Know why misinformation exists. B. News outlets may seem slower than social media. C. Question why you want to share it in the first place. D. Do not rely on these features for accurate information. E. Do a Google search for the person or organization’s name. F. So going directly to news sources will ensure you get more accurate information. G. The rapid spread of easily accessible AI tools is mudding the waters even further. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in poverty, and that was pretty obvious to all my teachers.

I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would unleash (发泄) a storm of anger on him. “I’m taking you to school.” Dad said, as rain came down in sheets and lightning flashed in the sky. “You are not used to driving in this kind of weather.” he continued, reaching for his boots. “I have been driving that route for many years. I can drive it today.” With these words, I struggled into my jacket, grabbed my bag and stormed out of the house. “Don’t take the shortcut, Donna!” Dad shouted after me, throwing through the car window a big pack of sandwiches. Dad had been working as a building worker when a heart attack last spring forced him to leave his job earlier than he had planned. Dad began to stay home and took over the household chores. As the medical bills mounted I realized I would have to work part-time after my school day to make ends meet. The new arrangement was a disaster for me. Exhausted after a day of dealing with my academic routine and food delivery, all I wanted was a hot home-cooked meal and a good night’s sleep. During the months that followed, Dad’s cooking somehow was getting worse. We dined on smelly baked potatoes and, of course, hard egg sandwiches. I would remember the time Dad had eaten every piece of potatoes on his plate and complimented (恭维) the dinner though I discovered later how he disliked it. So I wouldn’t say anything to him, even about the endless sandwiches. It was much harder for me to hold my peace after Dad served such meals for the third night in a row. As far as I was concerned, things couldn’t get much worse. So that rainy morning when I found my blue skirt badly folded, I could only burst out. I had had it! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Helpless and hungry, I was in a state of desperation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 保密★启用前 2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(培元) 英语科试题 (考试时间：120分钟;满分：150分) 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生须在试题卷、答题卡规定的位置填写自己的准考证号、姓名。考生应认真核对答题卡上粘贴的条形码的“准考证号、姓名”与考生本人准考证号、姓名是否一致。 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。如需改动，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，考生须将试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

W: No. I think it’s clear that this was an exception. If anyone has failed, it is us. M: What do you mean? W: The woman was let down by society. She had fallen on hard times when she lost her job, but her community didn’t offer help. M: I had never considered it from that point of view. W: I see a lot of people in a similar situation in my volunteer role at the homeless center. It’s heartbreaking. M: I think I should take a leaf out of your book and give some of my time back to society. W: We’re always looking for more volunteers if you want to join us. M: Sure, I’d love to. W: OK. I’ll send you some details. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. Where does the conversation probably take place? A. In an art gallery. B. In a university. C. In a restaurant. 15.

Why does the speaker give the talk? A. To support the idea of banning fireworks. B. To announce a new regulation on fireworks. C. To free animals from being hurt by fireworks. 19. What issue does the speaker stress about fireworks? A. They are too loud. B. They cause pollution. C. They can be dangerous. 20. What is the speaker’s attitude toward China’s drone display? A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Curious. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】Many people in the UK enjoy fireworks, but I am part of those who think they should be banned (禁止). While it is nice for families to go and see professional firework shows, too many people are able to buy them privately. Children in towns and cities are regularly seen setting them off dangerously, even aiming them at animals or other people. This year, one woman has had enough. She made a request to ban the private sale of fireworks. She had managed to get one million people to sign her request, and was supported by an animal charity, due to how many animals were scared and frightened by fireworks. I understand letting fireworks off at New Year or other cultural events, but more and more people are using drone (无人驾驶飞机) shows instead. I read in the newspaper that China set the record for using over 10,000 drones rather than fireworks during a show. I think that is the future for these types of celebrations. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A As an affiliate (附属队) of the New York Mets, a famous Major League Baseball (MLB) team, the Syracuse Mets serves as a crucial stepping stone for players aiming to reach the Major Leagues.

One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 24. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D.

(一只手把球举得很高，有那么一会儿，他似乎悬在空中。然后他把球击过篮筐。扣篮！他的职业生涯可能看起来像一个灌篮，成为康涅狄格大学的全国冠军，并在多伦多猛龙队创造了初学者的记录。)”可知，提到他的扣篮是为了突出他的技能和成就。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. (他的成功不仅仅是因为他打篮球的能力，他今天的成就在很大程度上要归功于一种叫做斑秃的皮肤病，这种疾病不是传染性的，而是由免疫系统的错误引起的，这种错误会触发对抗细菌的细胞攻击身体自身的生发细胞。查理在10岁时受到影响，12岁时脱发。这使他成为欺凌的目标，导致他退缩并躲在帽子和兜帽下。)”可知，被嘲笑使他避免与同龄人接触。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off.

He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，查理虽然遭受了脱发症的困扰，但他凭借坚强的意志和乐于助人的品质，不仅在篮球上取得了成功，还积极帮助他人。这表明逆境使人更强大。故选C。 C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. . Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 28. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments. C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 29. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The context included in understanding meanings. B. The definitions made by words in communication. C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 30. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people. C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 31. What does the author suggest in communication? A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally. C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日！那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢？这两件事有关系吗？)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(交流不仅仅是言语。还包括这些话是怎么说的，语气，顺序，甚至是某个特定单词的选择)”可推知，第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言不是一种编码。真正的编码与意义有着一一对应的关系。一种声音，一种定义。这就是我们在动物身上看到的情况。威尔逊和斯珀伯解释说：“当发出者和接收者拥有完全相同的编码时，编码交流效果最佳。”人类则不是这样。我们交流的内容比我们所说的单词的定义要多。这是一种推理交流，这意味着我们不仅理解所说的单词，而且理解它们所使用的语境)”可知，理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语是一个很好的例子，说明我们如何用几个简单的词来有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是陈述相反的意思。例如，当玛丽在一个无聊的聚会后说“那很有趣”时，她既不是说聚会真的很有趣，也不是“讽刺地”说聚会很无聊。相反，她在表达一种情感。三个字代替了段落，展示了语言的效率)”可知，玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思，从而说明了反语的特点。故选 D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯珀伯得出结论，人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大，是因为人类有两种独特的能力：语言能力和试图解读他人心理状态的能力。我们为听到的单词寻找语境。我们应该非常善于吸收这种语境来推断意义)” 可推知，作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思，也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。故选C。 D When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a Ph. D. student, he collected a bag of penguin (企鹅) feathers. A decade later, Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury (汞) pollution in the Southern Hemisphere, a growing threat to wildlife. Mercury, a poisonous by-product of gold mining, becomes more and more in the food chain and affects animals’ nervous systems. While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring. Penguins have a way to dispose of mercury through their feathers, which they molt (换羽) regularly. Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury. They found a clear relationship between mercury levels and carbon-13, which varies geographically and acts as a marker for where penguins feed or breed (繁殖). The study confirmed this pattern across seven penguin species in the Southern Ocean, revealing higher mercury exposure in northern, warmer regions with higher carbon-13 levels. The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants. By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment. For example, penguin species living near each other showed different mercury and carbon-13 levels due to varying migration and feeding patterns. These data could be modeled into a map-like database to aid conservation and polar research. Marine scientist Miriam Gimeno Castells notes that penguins are mid-level predators (捕食性动物), and undergo dramatic molts, making it easy to collect feathers from many individuals. The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the nonbreeding season. Sontag plans to collect newer feathers from different species and compare mercury levels in penguins’ blood and their food with those in their feathers. As for the penguins’ health, senior author John Reinfelder makes it clear that they have not yet been exposed to poisonous mercury levels. “The penguins will be okay,” he says. 32. How did Sontag use the penguin feathers he collected? A. He kept them as a reminder of his trip. B. He studied the content of a chemical in them. C. He observed their changes in different environments. D. He classified them to identify different species of penguins. 33. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Recognize. B. Consume. C. Remove. D. Combine. 34. What do we know about penguins from the text? A. They are ideal bioindicators. B. They are sensitive to carbon-13. C. They are top-level predators in the food chain. D. They are free from the effects of human activities. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Life Cycle of Penguins in Antarctica. B. Gold Mining and Its Effects on Penguins. C. The Impact of Climate Change on Penguin Populations. D. Penguins Help Map Antarctica’s Growing Mercury Threat. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了菲利普·桑塔格(Philip Sontag)和他的团队发现了如何利用企鹅羽毛绘制南半球的汞污染地图，汞污染对野生动物构成了日益严重的威胁。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring.(虽然对岩石或土壤中的汞进行采样只能提供有限的见解，但追踪汞在食物网中的存在对生态系统监测至关重要。)”以及第三段“Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury.(桑塔格现在是罗格斯大学的极地研究员，他和他的团队分析了这些脱落的羽毛，以确定企鹅是在哪里接触到汞的。)”可知，桑塔格研究了他收集的企鹅羽毛中的化学物质含量。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment.(通过测量羽毛中的汞含量，科学家们可以追踪金属在海洋食物网中的长期运动，而不仅仅是在一个单一的时刻)”和第五段末“The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the nonbreeding season.(脱落的羽毛中含有汞，在非繁殖季节会进入它们的身体)”及划线处后面“…which they molt (换羽) regularly.(它们会定期换羽)”可知，企鹅羽毛中含汞，而企鹅换羽的习性，可以消除身体内的汞。由此可知，dispose of指的是企鹅通过换羽去除体内积累的汞，与remove(移除，消除，摆脱)意思相近。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants.(研究结果表明，企鹅可以作为生物指示器，是环境污染物的生活追踪者。)”可知，企鹅是理想的生物指示器。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a Ph. D. student, he collected a bag of penguin (企鹅) feathers. A decade later, Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury (汞) pollution in the Southern Hemisphere, a growing threat to wildlife.(当菲利普·桑塔格(Philip Sontag)还是博士生时，他第一次访问南极洲，收集了一袋企鹅羽毛。十年后，桑塔格和他的团队发现了如何利用这些羽毛绘制南半球的汞污染地图，汞污染对野生动物构成了日益严重的威胁。)”可知，文章主要介绍了菲利普·桑塔格(Philip Sontag)和他的团队发现了如何利用企鹅羽毛绘制南半球的汞污染地图，汞污染对野生动物构成了日益严重的威胁，由此可知，D选项“Penguins Help Map Antarctica’s Growing Mercury Threat (企鹅帮助绘制南极洲日益严重的汞威胁图)”最适合作文章标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anyone with an internet connection can watch breaking news, or at least some version of it. Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context. ____36____ How do you know what to trust and what not to share? Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online. ____37____ Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. Of course, not all misinformation is serious. Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people, so be as skeptical of silly stories as serious ones. Slow down while reading or watching. Social media is built for things to go viral, for users to quickly share before they are even done reading the words. No matter how shocking, enlightening or annoying a TikTok or YouTube video is, you must wait before passing it on to your network. ____38____ That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate. So assume everything is suspect until you confirm its authenticity (真实性). Don’t use AI to get news. Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news. ____39____ They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility. Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers (免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information. ____40____ A. Know why misinformation exists. B. News outlets may seem slower than social media. C. Question why you want to share it in the first place. D. Do not rely on these features for accurate information. E. Do a Google search for the person or organization’s name. F. So going directly to news sources will ensure you get more accurate information. G. The rapid spread of easily accessible AI tools is mudding the waters even further. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了我们如何在网上辨别新闻的真伪。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context.(在社交媒体上，发布的帖子可以比大多数事实核查人员所能处理的要快，而且它们通常是真实、虚假和上下文脱节的不可预测的混合体)”可知，在社交媒体上，信息传播非常快，真假难辨，G项“The rapid spread of easily accessible AI tools is mudding the waters even further.(轻松获取的人工智能工具的快速普及，正在进一步搅浑浑水)”提到AI工具的快速传播加剧了这一问题，与下文“How do you know what to trust and what not to share?(你怎么知道什么值得信任，什么不值得分享)”讲“如何判断信任与分享”形成逻辑衔接，符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. (想想在新闻活动中传播混乱信息谁能受益。例如，在选举期间，要注意可能有利于一个政党或候选人的相互矛盾的信息和毫无根据的指控)”和“Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people(有些只是为了好玩或恶作剧而创作的)”可知，第二段讨论错误信息的传播动机（如选举中的政治利益），A项“Know why misinformation exists.(知道错误信息的存在的原因)”概括了本段内容，适合作本段小标题。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据下文“That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate.(那是因为它们要等到信息被确认和准确)”可知，新闻媒体会比社交媒体谨慎，B项“News outlets may seem slower than social media.(新闻媒体可能比社交媒体慢)”与下文形成因果关系，符合语境，下文they指代选项中News outlets。故选B。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news.(科技公司正在推动他们的语音助手和人工智能聊天工具，作为获取最新新闻的一种方式)”可知，科技公司在推动他们的语音助手和人工智能聊天工具，再结合下文“They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility.(它们可能是不正确的、过时的，或者只是从几乎没有可信度或可见性的来源复制单词)”指出AI工具可能提供错误或过时信息，D项“Do not rely on these features for accurate information.(不要依赖这些功能来获取准确的信息)”直接否定AI的可靠性，与下文警告呼应，符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers (免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information.(一些聊天机器人甚至开始在突发新闻事件中添加免责声明，建议读者在其他地方寻找新信息)”可知，建议读者在其他地方寻找新信息，F项“So going directly to news sources will ensure you get more accurate information.(因此，直接去新闻来源将确保你获得更准确的信息)”自然承接此建议，总结应对策略，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in poverty, and that was pretty obvious to all my teachers.

I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would unleash (发泄) a storm of anger on him. “I’m taking you to school.” Dad said, as rain came down in sheets and lightning flashed in the sky. “You are not used to driving in this kind of weather.” he continued, reaching for his boots. “I have been driving that route for many years. I can drive it today.” With these words, I struggled into my jacket, grabbed my bag and stormed out of the house. “Don’t take the shortcut, Donna!” Dad shouted after me, throwing through the car window a big pack of sandwiches. Dad had been working as a building worker when a heart attack last spring forced him to leave his job earlier than he had planned. Dad began to stay home and took over the household chores. As the medical bills mounted I realized I would have to work part-time after my school day to make ends meet. The new arrangement was a disaster for me. Exhausted after a day of dealing with my academic routine and food delivery, all I wanted was a hot home-cooked meal and a good night’s sleep. During the months that followed, Dad’s cooking somehow was getting worse. We dined on smelly baked potatoes and, of course, hard egg sandwiches. I would remember the time Dad had eaten every piece of potatoes on his plate and complimented (恭维) the dinner though I discovered later how he disliked it. So I wouldn’t say anything to him, even about the endless sandwiches. It was much harder for me to hold my peace after Dad served such meals for the third night in a row. As far as I was concerned, things couldn’t get much worse. So that rainy morning when I found my blue skirt badly folded, I could only burst out. I had had it! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Helpless and hungry, I was in a state of desperation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route. I hoped it didn’t rain enough to flood the road but my wheels were nearly in the water as I drove along. It was raining increasingly heavily with lightning flashing nonstop. I felt a bit scared, attempting to drive backwards but in vain. Gradually, the road ahead was totally covered and turned into a running stream. The last straw was when my car was power-off all of a sudden. I got completely stuck as it grew darker and darker. Helpless and hungry, I was in a state of desperation. The sight of the smelly sandwiches that Dad baked today gave me hope for the best. I grabbed them and swallowed to fill my empty stomach, refreshed and grateful. “Donna!” Oh, it was Dad, wet through. “I’m throwing a rope,” he yelled. “Hang on to it and walk towards me”. Opening the car door, I grabbed the rope and inched out. “Be careful!” Dad said quietly. “I got you Dad!” I hugged him, tears in my eyes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 “我” 和爸爸因为家务事发生争吵后，“我” 不顾爸爸的警告执意开车走捷径去上学，在途中遭遇困难的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“十分钟后，我无视爸爸不要走捷径的警告，驶离了主路。”可知，第一段围绕走捷径后遇到的状况展开，如路况因雨发生的变化，车的状况等。 ②由第二段首句内容“又无助又饥饿，我陷入了绝望之中。”可知，第二段要续写在绝望中如何得到解救，以及和爸爸关系的缓和。 2.续写线索：开车走捷径——路况变差车子被困——处于绝望——爸爸出现解救——关系缓和 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab /seize ②尝试：attempt /try ③打开：open /unlock 情绪类： ①害怕的：scared /frightened ②感激的：grateful /thankful 【点睛】【高分句型 1】I hoped it didn’t rain enough to flood the road but my wheels were nearly in the water as I drove along.（运用了省略 that 的宾语从句以及 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】The last straw was when my car was power-off all of a sudden.（运用了 when 引导的表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025届高考模拟英语听力，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上，现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.
