B Jack, an engineer, never imagined racing alone across the Atlantic, much less in a boat built himself. Yet he bought the materials on the internet and managed to build one. The idea seemed impractical. Jack was then 47 and married for only two years. He and his wife Deby were building their future, and they had family to consider. Yet she encouraged him, because that is what they did for each other: support the best version of themselves. In October 2023, Jack packed his boat and flew to Lagos. Ahead of him lay the first leg of a race that would take him to Antigua, eastern Caribbean. The finish line for the first leg was Lanzarote,100km off the coast of Africa. After less than a week, Jack arrived in Lanzarote before leaving for the Caribbean. The days were bright and nights were completely dark. With the boat moving closer to the equators, heavy rain erased the sky. With the sails down and waves knocking, he stayed on the tiller (舵柄), doing his best to survive through the storm with its 40-mph winds. Eventually, the sky began to lighten. He got through the storm and was pleased with how the boat had held up. The next night, more rain fell. Suddenly, a wave hit the boat and soon the world was spinning (旋转) around him. Thanks to the safety line, Jack didn’t fall off the boat despite the dizziness and tiredness after 28 days at sea. A few days later, the storm stopped. He lay on the boat, exhausted. Crossing the finish line, he sailed 3,186 miles in 33 days, 21 hours, 2minutes. For nearly four years, he had been focused on crossing the Atlantic, and he’s now considering pushing himself in a new direction, like into a dance class. The idea fascinates and terrifies him. He admits to being a poor dancer, but with Deby’s help he might have a chance. 24. Why does the author say Jack’s idea was impractical? A. Jack had no idea how to build a boat. B. Deby felt uncertain about their future. C. Jack still faced varieties of life matters. D. Deby persuaded Jack to focus on family. 25. What is the author’s purpose in detailing the weather? A. To indicate the race’s uniqueness. B. To stress the boat’s steadiness. C. To highlight Jack’s struggle. D. To inspire readers’ sympathy. 26. Which of the following best describes Jack? A. Reliable and caring. B. Brave and persuasive. C. Ambitious and curious. D. Tough and adventurous. 27. What does Jack learn from the race? A. He is fascinated by modern dance. B. He has the potential to try new things. C. He owes his success to Deby’s help. D. He is still terrified by the long race. C Everyone loves dolphins. They’re adorable and playful. They’re often called the geniuses of the ocean. But in a recent piece for New Scientist, Caroline Williams has begun to question that last assumption. “When it comes to brainpower, dolphins might not be as special as we might think,” Williams writes. “Studies do show that dolphins can understand symbols the way humans do, but so can sea lions, parrots, monkeys and more. Actually the sea lions learn them more quickly.” Williams also questions the so-called “mirror test”, which claims that dolphins can recognize themselves or have a sense of self. “But if you look at the data, they perform the same behavior when the mirror’s there and when it’s not,” she argues. The size of a dolphin’s brain — even larger than a chimpanzee’s — is often used as proof to its intelligence, but Williams says that is also not the case. “They do have big brains, but then again the relationship between size and intelligence is kind of a tricky one anyway,” she says. According to Williams, the image of dolphins as “peaceful, loving geniuses” can be traced back to Dr. John Lilly. Lilly thought dolphins were at least as intelligent as humans, and spent years trying to figure out a way to communicate with the creature. Lilly’s life and work were an inspiration for the 1973 science fiction film The Day of the Dolphin. George Scott plays a version of Lilly — a researcher who teaches dolphins to speak English. “As a result of his early work, dolphins did start to get more attention and more researchers started looking into their intelligence,” Williams explains. “If similar things had been said about sea lions back then, maybe they would have been given just as much study. So that’s been good and bad really. On the one hand, it means we do understand dolphins quite well because there’s been a lot of research on them. On the other hand, they may be unfairly elevated (抬高) above other species. Our study shows that they are on par with other species at the most.” 28. Which statement is Caroline Williams very unlikely to agree with? A. The mirror test is misleading. B. Sea lions may be smarter than dolphins. C. Dolphins are super intelligent. D. Intelligence is not determined by brain size. 29. What is George Scott? A. A writer. B. A scientist. C. A teacher. D. An actor. 30. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “on par with” in the last paragraph? A. As smart as. B. Aware of. C. Suitable for. D. Less sensitive than. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To review a movie. B. To introduce a new study. C. To make an argument. D. To expose false assumptions. D As cats age, they may cry more than usual at night, struggle with sleep, and act confused. A new study reveals that, like humans with Alzheimer’s disease, protein plaques (斑块) build up in aged cats’ brains — causing brain issues like overactive immune cells and supporting cells that damage delicate synapses, the critical connections between nerve cells. Earlier studies had found proteins in the brains of cats, but failed to clarify how these proteins specifically disturb brain function. McGeachan from the University of Edinburgh knew that the synapses decline early in Alzheimer’s disease in humans, so he and his team decided to focus on these connections in their cat study. They found that the brains of aged cats, with or without dementia (痴呆), had more of the protein than the younger brain samples and the plaques in the older cats often formed right around synapses. In all the aged cats, immune cells were overactive. These cells also looked like they were hiding near the plaques, a sign that they were sent to target the proteins. But instead of attacking only the plaques, the cells also seemed to be attacking some synapses. The results are similar to what is seen in human brains with Alzheimer’s. Immune cells also gather around the plaques and damage the neurons and their connections in humans with Alzheimer’s. Because of these similarities, cats are ideal for showing what human Alzheimer’s is like. Current ways of studying Alzheimer’s include using mice, which have to be genetically modified (修改) to develop Alzheimer’s. Contrary to these engineered models, aging cats develop dementia naturally. “It’s exciting to have a naturally occurring model,” McGeachan says. His team is now studying more cat brains to spot patterns between cats with and without dementia, and plans to check other Alzheimer’s-related signs in cat brains. “Cats won’t replace mice as models, but more research helps them too,” he adds. “We can improve health for both humans and animals.” 32. What causes aged cats’ unusual behaviors mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Immune system related brain issues. B. Brain issues caused by sleep trouble. C. Plaque-related synapse damage. D. Overactive cells unrelated to plaques. 33. What did McGeachan’s team find about aged cats in their study? A. Plaque buildup damages their synapses. B. Plaques lead to overactive immune cells. C. Synapses grow more with more plaques. D. Immune cells protect synapses from plaques. 34. Why are cats better than mice for dementia research? A. Cats need less gene editing than mice. B. Cats develop dementia in a natural way. C. Cats have clearer dementia signs than mice. D. Cats’ dementia relates to artificial changes. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Aged Cats: Sleep & Confusion fixes B. Aged Cats: Alzheimer’s Study Model C. Protein Plaques: Synapse Damage Factor D. Protein Plaques: Brain Issue Source 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。 Humans are now up against a series of new demanding issues that are leading dramatic change to our lifestyles: climate change, threatening infectious diseases, and increasing urbanization. ____36____ Hydroponic (水培的) farming has strong potential to relieve the threats these issues pose to our agricultural system. Growing crops in near perfect conditions using controlled environment agriculture technology is one of the biggest benefits of hydroponic farming. Crops grown indoors and hydroponically can be grown anywhere at any time of the year. ____37____ Hydroponic farming has the potential to provide fresh, local food for areas with extreme droughts and low soil quality, such as in sub-Saharan Africa. ____38____ Keeping crop production in a controlled environment enables trained scientists and advanced climate control technology to improve the inputs of water, nutrients, and light fed to the plants. For example, sensors can measure the amount and nutrient content of the water that each plant consumes. This gives farmers insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients by the plants at each stage of growth. ____39____ ____40____ For small, start-up farmers, entering into the hydroponic farming world can come with high costs associated with renting the space, loans, the renovation (翻修) of a building or space to accommodate the hydroponic structures, initial costs for materials, and costs of the labor and electricity to keep the farm up and running. While these entry costs are high, hydroponic farms have the potential to turn underused buildings into farmland to serve the community and create jobs. A. The only condition is sufficient water resources. B. Access to green vegetables is often limited there. C. The exhaustion of natural resources is also a factor. D. They are not subject to weather and soil conditions. E. It would be great if we could grow plants without water. F. Thus, they can adjust input quality and quantity for plants. G. However, these advantages do not come without challenges. 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，选出最佳选项。 When I was a teenager, I lost interest in study and often felt upset.

He often warned me that remote mountain valleys were extremely dangerous, for sudden flash floods could hit without warning on rainy days. To keep me safe, he bought me an AI smart watch with danger detection and automatic SOS functions. However, I always thought his repeated reminders were unnecessary nagging (唠叨). One cloudy summer afternoon, I ignored my father’s serious warning and secretly decided to hike in the restricted back mountain area. Curious about the wild and quiet scenery, I packed my backpack and set off casually. Before I left, my father stressed the danger of mountain floods again, but I nodded carelessly and soon forgot all his words. The mountain path was peaceful and beautiful. Wandering along the winding road, I enjoyed the fresh air and lovely wild flowers. I even laughed at my father’s over-caution, believing nothing dangerous would happen. Absorbed in the amazing scenery, I walked deeper into the forbidden zone, ignoring the rising wind and light drizzle. All of a sudden, heavy rain poured down. The quiet mountain stream rose rapidly, turning into a roaring muddy flood carrying stones and branches. Seized by great panic, I tried to run back, only to find the road totally submerged (淹没). Worse still, my phone had no signal in the remote valley. I was trapped helplessly, falling into total despair. Just at that moment, my AI smart watch vibrated sharply. Detecting my extreme panic and rapid heartbeat, it automatically sent my real-time location and SOS messages to my father. Meanwhile, a steady voice from the watch guided me slowly toward the nearest high and safe rock platform. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Struggling to calm my trembling legs, I followed the watch’s precise voice guidance step by step. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding me tightly in his wet and trembling arms, my father let out a long sigh of relief. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西安市第八十三中学 2026届高三年级第九次模拟考试英语试题 命题人： 审题人： 注意事项： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿上作答无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where will Annie go tomorrow night?

I’m your old friend David Brown. Tonight, we’re discussing digital parenting with Dr. Lisa Chen. Good evening, Dr. Chen. W: Good evening, David. M: Dr. Chen, many parents these days track their kids’ locations and online activity. What’s your perspective on that? W: That’s right. But like most things, it has two sides — there are downsides too. M: What kind of downsides are we talking about? W: While some parents think monitoring kids keeps them safe, studies show it can harm trust. Teens often feel restricted, and some even bypass controls, which might make them less safe. M: Do you know any teens who dislike that? W: Yes. A 16-year-old boy once told me, “At my age, I should be the one deciding if I’m tracked.” M: So, what’s a better approach for parents? W: Parents can have open conversations with their kids. For example, saying, “Let’s set the rules together” instead of just laying down the law. That way, kids learn to use technology responsibly without feeling the need to rebel. M: Great advice! Thank you so much for joining us. W: My pleasure.

Yet he bought the materials on the internet and managed to build one. The idea seemed impractical. Jack was then 47 and married for only two years. He and his wife Deby were building their future, and they had family to consider. Yet she encouraged him, because that is what they did for each other: support the best version of themselves. In October 2023, Jack packed his boat and flew to Lagos. Ahead of him lay the first leg of a race that would take him to Antigua, eastern Caribbean. The finish line for the first leg was Lanzarote,100km off the coast of Africa. After less than a week, Jack arrived in Lanzarote before leaving for the Caribbean. The days were bright and nights were completely dark. With the boat moving closer to the equators, heavy rain erased the sky. With the sails down and waves knocking, he stayed on the tiller (舵柄), doing his best to survive through the storm with its 40-mph winds. Eventually, the sky began to lighten. He got through the storm and was pleased with how the boat had held up. The next night, more rain fell. Suddenly, a wave hit the boat and soon the world was spinning (旋转) around him. Thanks to the safety line, Jack didn’t fall off the boat despite the dizziness and tiredness after 28 days at sea. A few days later, the storm stopped. He lay on the boat, exhausted. Crossing the finish line, he sailed 3,186 miles in 33 days, 21 hours, 2minutes. For nearly four years, he had been focused on crossing the Atlantic, and he’s now considering pushing himself in a new direction, like into a dance class. The idea fascinates and terrifies him. He admits to being a poor dancer, but with Deby’s help he might have a chance. 24. Why does the author say Jack’s idea was impractical? A. Jack had no idea how to build a boat. B. Deby felt uncertain about their future. C. Jack still faced varieties of life matters. D. Deby persuaded Jack to focus on family. 25. What is the author’s purpose in detailing the weather? A. To indicate the race’s uniqueness. B. To stress the boat’s steadiness. C. To highlight Jack’s struggle. D. To inspire readers’ sympathy. 26. Which of the following best describes Jack? A. Reliable and caring. B. Brave and persuasive. C. Ambitious and curious. D. Tough and adventurous. 27. What does Jack learn from the race? A. He is fascinated by modern dance. B. He has the potential to try new things. C. He owes his success to Deby’s help. D. He is still terrified by the long race. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫杰克的工程师，独自驾船横跨大西洋的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Jack was then 47 and married for only two years. He and his wife Deby were building their future, and they had family to consider.(杰克当时47岁，结婚才两年。他和他的妻子黛比正在建设他们的未来，他们要考虑家庭)”可知，杰克当时47岁，结婚才两年，他和妻子正在规划未来，还有家庭需要考虑。这说明杰克仍然面临着各种各样的生活事务，在这种情况下独自划船穿越大西洋的想法不太现实。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段描述了Jack在航行过程中遇到的各种恶劣天气，如“With the boat moving closer to the equators, heavy rain erased the sky. With the sails down and waves knocking, he stayed on the tiller (舵柄), doing his best to survive through the storm with its 40-mph winds.(随着船靠近赤道，大雨抹去了天空。在降下船帆和海浪拍打的情况下，他留在舵柄上，尽最大努力在时速40英里的风暴中生存下来)”以及第五段中“Suddenly, a wave hit the boat and soon the world was spinning (旋转) around him.(突然，一个波浪击中了船，很快，世界就在他周围旋转)”可推知，作者详细描述天气是为了突出杰克在比赛过程中所面临的艰难和挣扎，展现他在恶劣环境下努力生存和坚持的过程。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，杰克独自驾驶自己建造的船穿越大西洋，在航行过程中遇到了暴风雨等恶劣天气和危险情况，但他都坚持了下来并最终完成了比赛，这体现了他的坚韧（tough）。同时，他敢于尝试独自划船穿越大西洋这样具有挑战性和冒险性的事情，说明他具有冒险精神（adventurous）。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For nearly four years, he had been focused on crossing the Atlantic, and he’s now considering pushing himself in a new direction, like into a dance class. The idea fascinates and terrifies him. He admits to being a poor dancer, but with Deby’s help he might have a chance.(近四年来，他一直专注于横渡大西洋，现在他正在考虑把自己推向一个新的方向，比如参加舞蹈班。这个想法使他既着迷又害怕。他承认自己跳得不好，但在黛比的帮助下，他可能有机会)”可知，杰克在专注于穿越大西洋近四年后，现在考虑向新的方向挑战自己，比如参加舞蹈课，虽然他承认自己跳舞不好，但觉得有机会尝试。由此推知，他从这次比赛中认识到自己有尝试新事物的潜力。故选B项。 C Everyone loves dolphins. They’re adorable and playful. They’re often called the geniuses of the ocean. But in a recent piece for New Scientist, Caroline Williams has begun to question that last assumption. “When it comes to brainpower, dolphins might not be as special as we might think,” Williams writes. “Studies do show that dolphins can understand symbols the way humans do, but so can sea lions, parrots, monkeys and more. Actually the sea lions learn them more quickly.” Williams also questions the so-called “mirror test”, which claims that dolphins can recognize themselves or have a sense of self. “But if you look at the data, they perform the same behavior when the mirror’s there and when it’s not,” she argues. The size of a dolphin’s brain — even larger than a chimpanzee’s — is often used as proof to its intelligence, but Williams says that is also not the case. “They do have big brains, but then again the relationship between size and intelligence is kind of a tricky one anyway,” she says. According to Williams, the image of dolphins as “peaceful, loving geniuses” can be traced back to Dr. John Lilly. Lilly thought dolphins were at least as intelligent as humans, and spent years trying to figure out a way to communicate with the creature. Lilly’s life and work were an inspiration for the 1973 science fiction film The Day of the Dolphin. George Scott plays a version of Lilly — a researcher who teaches dolphins to speak English. “As a result of his early work, dolphins did start to get more attention and more researchers started looking into their intelligence,” Williams explains. “If similar things had been said about sea lions back then, maybe they would have been given just as much study. So that’s been good and bad really. On the one hand, it means we do understand dolphins quite well because there’s been a lot of research on them. On the other hand, they may be unfairly elevated (抬高) above other species. Our study shows that they are on par with other species at the most.” 28. Which statement is Caroline Williams very unlikely to agree with? A. The mirror test is misleading. B. Sea lions may be smarter than dolphins. C. Dolphins are super intelligent. D. Intelligence is not determined by brain size. 29. What is George Scott? A. A writer. B. A scientist. C. A teacher. D. An actor. 30. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “on par with” in the last paragraph? A. As smart as. B. Aware of. C. Suitable for. D. Less sensitive than. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To review a movie. B. To introduce a new study. C. To make an argument. D. To expose false assumptions. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一篇新研究观点，质疑海豚超高智商的固有认知，从学习能力、镜像测试、脑容量等角度展开分析，并说明海豚高智商印象的由来与客观真实智力水平。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段““When it comes to brainpower, dolphins might not be as special as we might think,” Williams writes.(Williams写道：“谈及智力水平，海豚或许并没有我们想象中那般出众。”)” 可知，Williams并不认同海豚智商超群的说法。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“George Scott plays a version of Lilly — a researcher who teaches dolphins to speak English.(George Scott饰演了一名效仿Lilly的研究员，该角色负责教导海豚说英语。)”可知，George Scott是一名演员。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文最后一段“On the other hand, they may be unfairly elevated above other species.(另一方面，海豚的智商或许被不合理地凌驾于其他物种之上。)” 可知，海豚智力最多和其他物种不相上下，on par with表示“和……一样聪明”。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone loves dolphins. They’re adorable and playful. They’re often called the geniuses of the ocean. But in a recent piece for New Scientist, Caroline Williams has begun to question that last assumption.(人人都喜爱海豚。它们模样可爱、生性活泼，常被称作海洋中的天才。但Caroline Williams在《新科学家》杂志近期发文，开始质疑这一固有看法。)”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍一篇新研究观点，质疑海豚超高智商的固有认知，从学习能力、镜像测试、脑容量等角度展开分析，旨在介绍这项全新研究。 D As cats age, they may cry more than usual at night, struggle with sleep, and act confused. A new study reveals that, like humans with Alzheimer’s disease, protein plaques (斑块) build up in aged cats’ brains — causing brain issues like overactive immune cells and supporting cells that damage delicate synapses, the critical connections between nerve cells. Earlier studies had found proteins in the brains of cats, but failed to clarify how these proteins specifically disturb brain function. McGeachan from the University of Edinburgh knew that the synapses decline early in Alzheimer’s disease in humans, so he and his team decided to focus on these connections in their cat study. They found that the brains of aged cats, with or without dementia (痴呆), had more of the protein than the younger brain samples and the plaques in the older cats often formed right around synapses. In all the aged cats, immune cells were overactive. These cells also looked like they were hiding near the plaques, a sign that they were sent to target the proteins. But instead of attacking only the plaques, the cells also seemed to be attacking some synapses. The results are similar to what is seen in human brains with Alzheimer’s. Immune cells also gather around the plaques and damage the neurons and their connections in humans with Alzheimer’s. Because of these similarities, cats are ideal for showing what human Alzheimer’s is like. Current ways of studying Alzheimer’s include using mice, which have to be genetically modified (修改) to develop Alzheimer’s. Contrary to these engineered models, aging cats develop dementia naturally. “It’s exciting to have a naturally occurring model,” McGeachan says. His team is now studying more cat brains to spot patterns between cats with and without dementia, and plans to check other Alzheimer’s-related signs in cat brains. “Cats won’t replace mice as models, but more research helps them too,” he adds. “We can improve health for both humans and animals.” 32. What causes aged cats’ unusual behaviors mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Immune system related brain issues. B. Brain issues caused by sleep trouble. C. Plaque-related synapse damage. D. Overactive cells unrelated to plaques. 33. What did McGeachan’s team find about aged cats in their study? A. Plaque buildup damages their synapses. B. Plaques lead to overactive immune cells. C. Synapses grow more with more plaques. D. Immune cells protect synapses from plaques. 34. Why are cats better than mice for dementia research? A. Cats need less gene editing than mice. B. Cats develop dementia in a natural way. C. Cats have clearer dementia signs than mice. D. Cats’ dementia relates to artificial changes. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Aged Cats: Sleep & Confusion fixes B. Aged Cats: Alzheimer’s Study Model C. Protein Plaques: Synapse Damage Factor D. Protein Plaques: Brain Issue Source 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于老年猫大脑的新研究：老年猫会像患阿尔茨海默病的人类一样，大脑中积累蛋白质斑块，进而导致突触损伤等脑部问题，且老年猫的痴呆是自然发生的，这使其成为研究人类阿尔茨海默病的理想模型，同时提及研究团队的后续计划及该研究对人类和动物健康的意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study reveals that, like humans with Alzheimer’s disease, protein plaques (斑块) build up in aged cats’ brains — causing brain issues like overactive immune cells and supporting cells that damage delicate synapses, the critical connections between nerve cells. (一项新的研究表明，与患有阿尔茨海默病的人类一样，老年猫的大脑中会形成蛋白质斑块，这会引发一些脑部问题，比如免疫细胞过度活跃，以及支持细胞会破坏脆弱的突触——神经细胞之间的关键连接。)”可知，老年猫出现夜间频繁叫唤、睡眠困难和行为困惑等异常行为的原因，与蛋白质斑块堆积导致突触受损有关。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They found that the brains of aged cats, with or without dementia (痴呆), had more of the protein than the younger brain samples and the plaques in the older cats often formed right around synapses. (他们发现，无论是否患有痴呆症，老年猫的大脑中这种蛋白质的含量都比年轻猫的大脑样本多，而且老年猫大脑中的斑块通常就形成在突触周围。)”以及第三段中“But instead of attacking only the plaques, the cells also seemed to be attacking some synapses. (但这些细胞似乎不仅仅攻击斑块，还攻击了一些突触。)”可知，McGeachan的团队在研究中发现，老年猫大脑中的蛋白质斑块堆积导致突触受损。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Current ways of studying Alzheimer’s include using mice, which have to be genetically modified (修改) to develop Alzheimer’s. Contrary to these engineered models, aging cats develop dementia naturally. (目前研究阿尔茨海默病的方法包括使用小鼠，这些小鼠必须经过基因修改才能患上阿尔茨海默病。与这些人工改造的模型不同，老年猫会自然患上痴呆症。)”可知，猫比老鼠更适合痴呆研究的原因是猫会自然发生痴呆，而老鼠需要通过基因修改才能模拟痴呆。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章先介绍老年猫的脑部问题与人类阿尔茨海默病的相似性，再说明其相比老鼠模型的优势，最后提及研究进展与意义，其核心围绕“老年猫作为研究人类阿尔茨海默病的理想模型” 展开。因此“Aged Cats: Alzheimer’s Study Model (老年猫：阿尔茨海默病研究模型)”准确概括了文章主旨，适宜适合作为标题。故选B项。 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。 Humans are now up against a series of new demanding issues that are leading dramatic change to our lifestyles: climate change, threatening infectious diseases, and increasing urbanization. ____36____ Hydroponic (水培的) farming has strong potential to relieve the threats these issues pose to our agricultural system. Growing crops in near perfect conditions using controlled environment agriculture technology is one of the biggest benefits of hydroponic farming. Crops grown indoors and hydroponically can be grown anywhere at any time of the year. ____37____ Hydroponic farming has the potential to provide fresh, local food for areas with extreme droughts and low soil quality, such as in sub-Saharan Africa. ____38____ Keeping crop production in a controlled environment enables trained scientists and advanced climate control technology to improve the inputs of water, nutrients, and light fed to the plants. For example, sensors can measure the amount and nutrient content of the water that each plant consumes. This gives farmers insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients by the plants at each stage of growth. ____39____ ____40____ For small, start-up farmers, entering into the hydroponic farming world can come with high costs associated with renting the space, loans, the renovation (翻修) of a building or space to accommodate the hydroponic structures, initial costs for materials, and costs of the labor and electricity to keep the farm up and running. While these entry costs are high, hydroponic farms have the potential to turn underused buildings into farmland to serve the community and create jobs. A. The only condition is sufficient water resources. B. Access to green vegetables is often limited there. C. The exhaustion of natural resources is also a factor. D. They are not subject to weather and soil conditions. E. It would be great if we could grow plants without water. F. Thus, they can adjust input quality and quantity for plants. G. However, these advantages do not come without challenges. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人类面临气候变化、资源枯竭等诸多问题，水培农业凭借不受天气土壤限制、精准调控水肥等优势可缓解农业威胁，但初创农民需应对高成本挑战，其仍有转化闲置建筑等潜力。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Humans are now up against a series of new demanding issues that are leading dramatic change to our lifestyles: climate change, threatening infectious diseases, and increasing urbanization.(人类现在面临着一系列新的严峻问题，这些问题正导致我们的生活方式发生巨大变化：气候变化、传染性疾病的威胁以及日益加剧的城市化。)”列举了人类面临的三大挑战——气候变化、传染性疾病、城市化加剧，空格需补充另一相关挑战，与前文形成“并列列举”逻辑，且为后文“Hydroponic (水培的) farming has strong potential to relieve the threats these issues pose to our agricultural system.(水培农业有很大的潜力来缓解这些问题对我们农业系统造成的威胁。)”“水培农业缓解农业系统威胁”铺垫。C项“The exhaustion of natural resources is also a factor.( 自然资源的枯竭也是一个因素。)”中“exhaustion of natural resources”是与农业相关的重要挑战，符合“威胁农业系统”的核心语境，“also a factor”承接前文“a series of new demanding issues”，使列举更完整。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Crops grown indoors and hydroponically can be grown anywhere at any time of the year.(室内种植和水培的作物可以在一年中的任何时间在任何地方种植。)”强调水培农业的核心优势，空格需解释其“不受环境限制”的原因，承接 “anywhere at any time”的核心优势。D项“They are not subject to weather and soil conditions.(它们不受天气和土壤条件的影响。)”直接呼应“室内种植”的特点，解释了水培农业能突破地域和季节限制的关键。故选D项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Hydroponic farming has the potential to provide fresh, local food for areas with extreme droughts and low soil quality, such as in sub-Saharan Africa.(水培农业有可能为极端干旱和土壤质量低的地区提供新鲜的当地食物，比如撒哈拉以南非洲地区。)”提到水培农业可为撒哈拉以南非洲等干旱、土壤贫瘠地区提供新鲜本地食物。B项“Access to green vegetables is often limited there.(在那里获得绿色蔬菜的途径通常有限。)”中“there”指代前文“sub-Saharan Africa”，明确该地区的食物短缺问题，承接上文内容，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“For example, sensors can measure the amount and nutrient content of the water that each plant consumes. This gives farmers insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients by the plants at each stage of growth.(例如，传感器可以测量每种植物消耗的水量和营养成分。这使农民能够了解植物在每个生长阶段未使用的水和养分的数量。)”提到“传感器可监测植物消耗的水分和养分，了解未利用的量”，空格需体现“监测数据”的作用，形成“监测→分析→调整”的因果逻辑。F项“Thus, they can adjust input quality and quantity for plants.( 因此，他们可以调整植物的投入质量和数量。)”是监测数据的直接应用，“thus”承接前文“insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients”，说明水培农业“精准种植”的优势，符合“可控环境农业”的核心特点。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据前文全段论述水培农业的优势（不受环境限制、精准种植、缓解资源压力），后文“For small, start-up farmers, entering into the hydroponic farming world can come with high costs associated with renting the space, loans, the renovation(翻修)of a building or space to accommodate the hydroponic structures, initial costs for materials, and costs of the labor and electricity to keep the farm up and running.(对于刚起步的小农户来说，进入水培农业的世界可能会伴随着高昂的成本，包括租用空间、贷款、装修建筑或空间以容纳水培结构、材料的初始成本、以及维持农场运转的劳动力和电力成本。)”转而提到“初创农民面临高成本”的问题，空格需起到“转折过渡”作用，引出后文的挑战。G项“However, these advantages do not come without challenges.( 然而，这些优势并非没有挑战。)”中“However”明确转折，“these advantages”指代前文提到的水培农业优势，“do not come without challenges”直接引出后文“高成本”的具体问题，符合段落结构逻辑。故选G项。 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，选出最佳选项。 When I was a teenager, I lost interest in study and often felt upset.

In my opinion, over-reliance on fragmented learning is not wise. Though it is convenient and time-saving, it fails to build a complete knowledge system and result in shallow learning. By contrast, reading textbooks and taking paper notes helps us think deeply and master knowledge steadily. Therefore, we should combine the two methods. We can use fragmented learning for review but treat systematic learning as our main way of studying. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生对于随着智能手机、在线学习平台等科技产品的普及，许多学生习惯用“碎片化刷题(fragmented learning)”、“短视频学知识点”等方式学习，而传统的“系统阅读课本”、“整理纸质笔记”等学习方式逐渐被忽视这一情况，写一篇短文，谈谈你对这种现象的看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 忽视：ignore→ neglect 在我看来：In my opinion→ As far as I can see 掌握：master→ grasp 倾向于做某事：tend to do→ be inclined to do 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：We can use fragmented learning for review but treat systematic learning as our main way of studying. 拓展句：Although we can turn to fragmented learning to review knowledge, we should take systematic learning as our primary study method. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Nowadays, with smartphones and online platforms widely used, many students tend to adopt fragmented learning, such as doing exercises and learning through short videos, while traditional systematic learning is gradually ignored.（运用了with的复合结构） 【高分句型2】Though it is convenient and time-saving, it fails to build a complete knowledge system and result in shallow learning.（运用了Though引导的让步状语从句） 第二节 (满分25分) 67. 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 father worked as a forest ranger, guarding the mountain forests all year round. He often warned me that remote mountain valleys were extremely dangerous, for sudden flash floods could hit without warning on rainy days. To keep me safe, he bought me an AI smart watch with danger detection and automatic SOS functions. However, I always thought his repeated reminders were unnecessary nagging (唠叨). One cloudy summer afternoon, I ignored my father’s serious warning and secretly decided to hike in the restricted back mountain area. Curious about the wild and quiet scenery, I packed my backpack and set off casually. Before I left, my father stressed the danger of mountain floods again, but I nodded carelessly and soon forgot all his words. The mountain path was peaceful and beautiful. Wandering along the winding road, I enjoyed the fresh air and lovely wild flowers. I even laughed at my father’s over-caution, believing nothing dangerous would happen. Absorbed in the amazing scenery, I walked deeper into the forbidden zone, ignoring the rising wind and light drizzle. All of a sudden, heavy rain poured down. The quiet mountain stream rose rapidly, turning into a roaring muddy flood carrying stones and branches. Seized by great panic, I tried to run back, only to find the road totally submerged (淹没). Worse still, my phone had no signal in the remote valley. I was trapped helplessly, falling into total despair. Just at that moment, my AI smart watch vibrated sharply. Detecting my extreme panic and rapid heartbeat, it automatically sent my real-time location and SOS messages to my father. Meanwhile, a steady voice from the watch guided me slowly toward the nearest high and safe rock platform. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Struggling to calm my trembling legs, I followed the watch’s precise voice guidance step by step. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding me tightly in his wet and trembling arms, my father let out a long sigh of relief. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Struggling to calm my trembling legs, I followed the watch’s precise voice guidance step by step. The raging (猛烈的) flood flowed wildly beside me, bringing countless stones and branches along. Cold rain soaked (湿透) my whole body and made me feel extremely cold and scared. I held firmly onto the rough rocks and moved forward slowly and cautiously. After great efforts, I finally reached the high and safe platform out of danger. Before long, I heard familiar shouts coming from afar (从远处). It was my father. Knowing my exact position through the smart watch, he rushed through muddy paths bravely regardless of the terrible weather. Holding me tightly in his wet and trembling arms, my father let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing his exhausted and anxious face, tears welled up in my eyes immediately. I felt extremely regretful and kept saying sorry for turning a deaf ear to his sincere warnings. Staring at the AI watch on my wrist, I had a clear understanding. What truly saved me was not the smart device, but my father’s constant concern, endless love and silent protection that had accompanied me all the time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者不顾父亲关于山区暴雨引发洪水的警告，私自进入禁区徒步，突遇山洪暴发被困，最终依靠父亲提前准备的AI智能手表成功获救的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者在暴雨山洪中跟随手表指引艰难求生、最终到达安全高台并等到父亲的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写父子重逢的感人场景，以及作者从内心感到愧疚、领悟到真正救自己的是父亲深沉的爱这一主题升华。 2.续写线索：恐惧求生——艰难攀爬——到达高台——父亲赶到——父子相拥——感悟父爱 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握/抓紧：hold firmly/grip tightly ②盯着看：stare at/gaze at/fix one’s eyes on 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/frightened ②焦虑的：anxious/worried/nervous 【点睛】【高分句型1】Knowing my exact position through the smart watch, he rushed through muddy paths bravely regardless of the terrible weather.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】What truly saved me was not the smart device, but my father’s constant concern, endless love and silent protection that had accompanied me all the time.（运用了what引导的主语从句，that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
