2026年广州市第六中学高二下学期期末考试英语试题 本试卷共10页，满分150分（卷面书写分3分），考试时间120分钟。 听说（20分，略） 第一部分 阅读（满分40分） 第一节 阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students in high school to pursue college-level studies — with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both — before applying to college. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each ending in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue — skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree. Enrolling Students: Equity(公平) and Access Equitable access is a guiding principle for AP programs. All students should have access to academically challenging courses before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success. How AP Exams Are Scored While multiple-choice questions are scored by machine, the free-response questions and through-course performance assessments are scored by thousands of college professors and expert AP teachers. They are thoroughly trained, and their work is monitored for fairness and consistency. In each subject, a highly respected college member serves as Chief Consultant to maintain the accuracy of the scoring standards. Scores on the free-response questions and performance assessments are weighted and combined with the results of the computer-scored multiple-choice questions, and this raw score is translated into an overall AP score on a 1-5 scale. The Validity of AP Scores AP Score Credit Recommendation College Grade Equivalent (对等) 5 Extremely well qualified A 4 Well qualified A-, B+, B 3 Qualified B-, C+, C 2 Possibly qualified n/a (not available) 1 No recommendation n/a (not available) How to Apply Visit http://collegeboard.org/apreading for qualification requirements and to start the application process. 1. What can students gain by taking AP courses? A. Entry to college. B. A college degree. C. Teaching competence. D. Higher-order thinking skills. 2. What is a Chief Consultant responsible for? A. Training AP teachers. B. Guaranteeing scoring quality. C. Assessing student performance. D. Grading multiple-choice sections. 3. What is the minimum AP score for college grade equivalent? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4. B Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them. My mother’s parents did not care in the least about insects. The only attention my grandfather paid to an insect was to crush it under his foot. My illiterate (不识字的) grandmother would throw away a caterpillar in fright. My own parents did not inspire this love. My mother was illiterate; my father, slightly educated, was too busy for encouragement. Yet I began to observe as a baby. One day, standing on the grassland, I was fascinated by the sun. A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? I opened my mouth and closed my eyes: glory disappeared. I opened my eyes and shut my mouth: glory returned. I saw with my eyes! Oh, what a discovery! At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed. At nightfall, a faint jingle from the bushes attracted me. Who is making that noise? They spoke of a wolf, but I had to look. After a stubborn watch, I caught the singer — a grasshopper (蚂蚱)! I now knew, from personal observation, that the grasshopper sings. I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter. Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings — from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields. Thus, in this chaos, the future observer taught himself. 4. What does the author intend to convey by telling his family story? A. The hardship of rural life. B. His natural passion for insects. C. His early education background. D. The influence of his family on him. 5. How did the author’s family react to his discovery about the sunlight? A. They appreciated it. B. They questioned it. C. They brushed it aside. D. They rejected it. 6. What does the description of the school suggest? A. The environment was far from ideal. B. The students lacked interest in learning. C. The animals became a threat to students. D. The school building was old and smelly. 7. What was the author like as a boy? A. Inquiring. B. Encouraging. C. Troublesome. D. Ambitious. C Recently, I was listening to Paul Simon’s 1983 album Hearts and Bones again and was struck by a question: what did it — a weary, bittersweet reflection on a broken relationship — mean to my younger self? As a teenager with little romantic experience, I believe I was drawn to the maturity sadness seemed to represent, which hints at a complex joy found within sadness. But why value sadness when happiness is so universally pursued? Nations measure well-being through happiness Indexes (指数), and philosophies prioritize increasing joy. Yet, in reality, we don’t seek constant happiness. Sometimes sadness has a cause; sometimes we want to be. Perhaps emotional variety is preferable to monotony. But there’s more to it — sadness holds a depth that happiness lacks. Sadness inspires great art in a way that grinningly eating ice cream cannot. Essayist Hartley Coleridge praised it as a more elegant and introspective state of mind than happiness. “Melancholy (悲伤) can scarce exist in an undegraded spirit — it cannot exist in a mere animal” is how he put it, suggesting it is more dignified than happiness. I suspect most people feel joy is, at root, a kind of idiot pleasure. Melancholy is somehow more grown-up, more sincere, and more authentic. Just as what evolutionary scientists call “the handicap principle”, luxurious traits are useful, because they are so showily expensive, apparently inconveniencing the owner. They are a way of saying: I’m so strong. The peacock’s tail, for example, despite being a disadvantage attached, signals desirable genes. Sadness, according to this model, is a kind of obvious consumption. It takes more muscles to frown than smile, and maybe that’s the point. Darwin observed that sadness appears the same way across all cultures, implying a deep-rooted human capacity. Happiness can be lovely, but the profound, elegant sadness unlocks aesthetic (美学) world that happiness can never reach. 8. Why did the author like Paul Simon’s 1983 album as a teenager? A. He thought sadness inspired art. B. He viewed sadness as happiness. C. He experienced broken relationships. D. He associated sadness with being mature. 9. What does the underlined word “introspective” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Strong-willed. B. Open-minded. C. Self-reflective. D. Deep-thinking. 10. Why does the author refer to the peacock’s tail? A. To stress frowning takes more muscles. B. To show luxurious traits are unnecessary. C. To prove sadness is apparently convenient. D. To explain sadness has evolutionary value. 11. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Why the long face? B. Which is deeper? C. What’s happiness? D. Where’s sadness? D Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climate change. Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage. To design these climate-saving plants, the scientists are using a research tool called SLEAP — an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth. Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. Now, Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants. In a study published in Plant Phenomics, Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes — how deep and wide they grow, how massive their root systems become, and other physical qualities. Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process. SLEAP uses computer vision (the ability for computers to understand images) and deep learning (an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain) to help researchers process images much more quickly. The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (目录) of plant root phenotypes to date. What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs. “Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,” says Pereira. “We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.” 12. What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve? A. Keeping more carbon in plants. B. Optimizing the use of energy. C. Enhancing biological diversity. D. Reducing carbon absorption. 13. Why did Pereira create SLEAP? A. To generate plant images. B. To conduct research on animals. C. To study climate patterns. D. To track features of root growth. 14. What will SLEAP help the scientists do? A. Pick out diseased plants in the forest. B. Collect samples of plant root systems. C. Identify genes for desirable plant roots. D. Preserve the genes of endangered plants. 15. What can be inferred from Pereira’s words? A. Academic disciplines are of equal importance. B. Computer programming is a must for scientists. C. Interdisciplinary approach promotes creativity. D. Cooperation outweighs competition in research. 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2分，共10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。 From posters to newspaper articles to presidential speeches, inspirational quotes are everywhere.____16____Perhaps some have been wrongly attributed (归因) over time, but others are just fake. There’s an often-shared internet meme (网络梗) that says: “The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true — Abraham Lincoln.” Of course, Lincoln didn’t say this! This internet meme perfectly illustrates the problem, but misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention. ____17____For example, in 1919, American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying: “A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.” It’s a nice quote. But Garson O’Toole who investigates the origins of quotes on Quote Investigator believes Mark Twain never said such a thing. The quote is probably based on something the English-Irish writer Jonathan Swift wrote in 1710: “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.” This changed over time, and somehow got attributed to Twain. People like to attribute quotes to famous people because the name gives authority to the statement. That’s why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill.____18____ The internet has just made these quotes spread faster and farther.____19____But others are used to mean harm, perhaps to give the impression that a hurtful idea has been supported by a respected person — making it feel more acceptable to agree with. So how can we spot these fake quotes? It’s not always easy, say experts, because some have been attributed wrongly by thousands of websites and publications, including reputable ones. As with fake news, doing a bit of research is a good idea if you want to make sure you’re using an accurate quote.____20____ A. Some are shared quite harmlessly. B. Therefore, never coin your own quote. C. But there’s just one problem: many are incorrect. D. And Quote Investigator isn’t a bad place to start. E. It was not Lincoln but Mark Twain who said that. F. The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet. G. They were even having quotes misattributed to them while alive. 第二部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It’s a very strange time to be a writer.

So I will keep ____35____, wherever it ends up taking me. 21. A. instruct B. contact C. offend D. devalue 22. A. casually B. hesitantly C. jokingly D. embarrassedly 23. A. risk B. fear C. picture D. mind 24. A. uncertain B. curious C. enthusiastic D. particular 25. A. essential B. possible C. wrong D. temporary 26. A. meaning B. creation C. absence D. charm 27. A. changes B. solutions C. signs D. concerns 28. A. due to B. regardless of C. apart from D. but for 29. A. mattered B. conflicted C. weighed D. struck 30.

Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s hair and the bright orange of his shorts. “Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he jumped with ease. “I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! “Ouch!” My shoe was stuck between two rocks. I bent down and that’s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket. Sam stopped waiting for me. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket. I was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business. “Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival! ” “Ryan wasted her pocket money on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” My family calls me their “little collector”. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”. Sam and I walked along the main street. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window caught my attention: Lost: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster: The necklace looked different from the one in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought. Para1 Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2 Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年广州市第六中学高二下学期期末考试英语试题 本试卷共10页，满分150分（卷面书写分3分），考试时间120分钟。 听说（20分，略） 第一部分 阅读（满分40分） 第一节 阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students in high school to pursue college-level studies — with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both — before applying to college.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国大学理事会的大学先修课程（AP）项目，包括学生能从中获得的益处、评分方式、AP分数的有效性以及申请方式等相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each ending in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue — skills that prepare them for college and beyond. (通过38个科目的AP课程，每个课程都以一场具有挑战性的考试结束，学生们学会批判性思考，构建有力的论据，并看到问题的多个方面——这些技能为他们的大学及以后的生活做好准备。)”可知，学生通过参加AP课程可以获得高阶思维技能。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In each subject, a highly respected college member serves as Chief Consultant to maintain the accuracy of the scoring standards. (在每个科目中，一位备受尊敬的大学成员担任首席顾问，以保持评分标准的准确性。)”可知，首席顾问负责保证评分的质量。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“AP Score”和“College Grade Equivalent (对等)”两列内容可知，AP分数为3时，对应的大学成绩对等为“B-, C+, C”，而AP分数为1和2时，没有给出大学成绩对等，所以获得大学成绩对等的最低AP分数是3。故选C项。 B Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them. My mother’s parents did not care in the least about insects.

I now knew, from personal observation, that the grasshopper sings. I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter. Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings — from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields. Thus, in this chaos, the future observer taught himself. 4. What does the author intend to convey by telling his family story? A. The hardship of rural life. B. His natural passion for insects. C.

The animals became a threat to students. D. The school building was old and smelly. 7. What was the author like as a boy? A. Inquiring. B. Encouraging. C. Troublesome. D. Ambitious. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者小时候对昆虫和自然的热爱。通过讲述个人成长故事，作者表达了他对昆虫与自然的热爱源于内在的好奇与主动观察，而非家庭遗传或环境的影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them.(如今，人们总是把一切归因于遗传；也就是说，我们从祖先那里继承了特殊的才能。我想讲讲我的故事，来说明我对昆虫的热爱并非来自任何一位祖先)”可知，作者通过讲述自己的家庭故事，想传达他对昆虫的天然热爱。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I saw with my eyes! Oh, what a discovery! At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed.(我亲眼看到了！啊，多么奇妙的发现！在家里，我的祖母微笑着；其他人则笑了起来)”可知，作者发现用眼睛看见阳光后，祖母笑了，家里其他人也笑了。此处的“笑”并非赞同，而是一种觉得孩子天真、不值一提的反应。且根据第四段中的“I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter.(我没有告诉他们我的发现，唯恐再次听到同样的笑声)”可推知，上文的“笑”并非赞同。由此可见，作者家人对他的发现不予理会。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings — from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields.(后来，我上了学。那间屋子用途广泛：既是教室，又是厨房、卧室，甚至还有鸡舍和猪圈。我们的学习常常被小猪蹭腿、母鸡和小鸡的叫声，以及烹饪时的气味所打扰。但对动物和植物的热爱却自然而然地发展起来，这得益于乡村学校持续不断的活动——从我在书上研究鸽子，到收集蜗牛、捉青蛙，再到田野里欣赏甲虫)”可知，本段描述了学校环境的混乱，包括课堂失序、动物干扰、做饭气味干扰等。这说明学习环境十分嘈杂、充满干扰，对正常学习构成了障碍。即学校的描述暗示了环境远非理想。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet I began to observe as a baby. (然而，我还是婴儿时就开始观察了)”和“A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? (一个问题占据了我：我是用嘴巴还是用眼睛感知阳光？)”、第四段中“After a stubborn watch, I caught the singer — a grasshopper (蚂蚱)! (经过固执的观察，我抓住了那个歌唱者——一只蚂蚱！)”和第五段中“from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields. (从研究书上的鸽子，到收集蜗牛、抓青蛙，以及在田野里欣赏甲虫)”可知，作者小时候具有好奇心强、爱探究的品质。 C Recently, I was listening to Paul Simon’s 1983 album Hearts and Bones again and was struck by a question: what did it — a weary, bittersweet reflection on a broken relationship — mean to my younger self? As a teenager with little romantic experience, I believe I was drawn to the maturity sadness seemed to represent, which hints at a complex joy found within sadness. But why value sadness when happiness is so universally pursued? Nations measure well-being through happiness Indexes (指数), and philosophies prioritize increasing joy. Yet, in reality, we don’t seek constant happiness. Sometimes sadness has a cause; sometimes we want to be. Perhaps emotional variety is preferable to monotony. But there’s more to it — sadness holds a depth that happiness lacks. Sadness inspires great art in a way that grinningly eating ice cream cannot. Essayist Hartley Coleridge praised it as a more elegant and introspective state of mind than happiness. “Melancholy (悲伤) can scarce exist in an undegraded spirit — it cannot exist in a mere animal” is how he put it, suggesting it is more dignified than happiness. I suspect most people feel joy is, at root, a kind of idiot pleasure. Melancholy is somehow more grown-up, more sincere, and more authentic. Just as what evolutionary scientists call “the handicap principle”, luxurious traits are useful, because they are so showily expensive, apparently inconveniencing the owner. They are a way of saying: I’m so strong. The peacock’s tail, for example, despite being a disadvantage attached, signals desirable genes. Sadness, according to this model, is a kind of obvious consumption. It takes more muscles to frown than smile, and maybe that’s the point. Darwin observed that sadness appears the same way across all cultures, implying a deep-rooted human capacity. Happiness can be lovely, but the profound, elegant sadness unlocks aesthetic (美学) world that happiness can never reach. 8. Why did the author like Paul Simon’s 1983 album as a teenager? A. He thought sadness inspired art. B. He viewed sadness as happiness. C. He experienced broken relationships. D. He associated sadness with being mature. 9. What does the underlined word “introspective” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Strong-willed. B. Open-minded. C. Self-reflective. D. Deep-thinking. 10. Why does the author refer to the peacock’s tail? A. To stress frowning takes more muscles. B. To show luxurious traits are unnecessary. C. To prove sadness is apparently convenient. D. To explain sadness has evolutionary value. 11. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Why the long face? B. Which is deeper? C. What’s happiness? D. Where’s sadness? 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过个人经历及多方观点探讨了悲伤的价值，认为其比快乐更具深度且能开启美学世界。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a teenager with little romantic experience, I believe I was drawn to the maturity sadness seemed to represent, which hints at a complex joy found within sadness.(作为一个几乎没有恋爱经验的青少年，我相信我是被悲伤所代表的成熟所吸引，这暗示着悲伤中隐藏着一种复杂的喜悦)”可知，作者青少年时期喜欢Paul Simon的专辑是因为将悲伤与成熟联系在了一起。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““Melancholy (悲伤) can scarce exist in an undegraded spirit — it cannot exist in a mere animal” is how he put it, suggesting it is more dignified than happiness. I suspect most people feel joy is, at root, a kind of idiot pleasure. Melancholy is somehow more grown-up, more sincere, and more authentic. (“悲伤几乎无法存在于未堕落的精神之中——它也无法存在于仅仅是一只动物身上。”他如此说道，暗示其尊严远胜于幸福。我怀疑大多数人认为，快乐本质上是一种愚蠢的愉悦。而忧郁则不知为何显得更成熟、更真诚，也更真实)”可知，后文说忧郁是人类高级精神状态，偏向向内审视自我。故划线词意思是“反省的”。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Just as what evolutionary scientists call “the handicap principle”, luxurious traits are useful, because they are so showily expensive, apparently inconveniencing the owner. They are a way of saying: I’m so strong. The peacock’s tail, for example, despite being a disadvantage attached, signals desirable genes. Sadness, according to this model, is a kind of obvious consumption.(正如进化生物学家所说的 “累赘原理”，华丽的外在特征实则具备实用价值 —— 它们看上去招摇又耗费精力，还会给拥有者带来明显负担。这类特征相当于一种宣告：我足够强大。 以孔雀尾羽为例，尽管这一附属特征会成为累赘，却能彰显优质基因。按照这套理论，悲伤本质上也是一种显性的 “消耗行为”。)”可知，作者提到孔雀的尾巴是为了解释悲伤具有进化价值。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Happiness can be lovely, but the profound, elegant sadness unlocks aesthetic (美学) world that happiness can never reach.(幸福或许美好，但那种深刻而优雅的悲伤，却能开启一个幸福永远无法触及的美学世界)”可知，文章主要探讨了悲伤的价值，认为其比快乐更具深度且能开启美学世界，因此A项“Why the long face?(为什么愁眉苦脸？)”作为标题最合适，该标题以疑问的形式引发读者对于悲伤的思考，与文章主旨相符。 D Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climate change. Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage. To design these climate-saving plants, the scientists are using a research tool called SLEAP — an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth. Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. Now, Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants. In a study published in Plant Phenomics, Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes — how deep and wide they grow, how massive their root systems become, and other physical qualities. Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process. SLEAP uses computer vision (the ability for computers to understand images) and deep learning (an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain) to help researchers process images much more quickly. The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (目录) of plant root phenotypes to date. What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs. “Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,” says Pereira. “We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.” 12. What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve? A. Keeping more carbon in plants. B. Optimizing the use of energy. C. Enhancing biological diversity. D. Reducing carbon absorption. 13. Why did Pereira create SLEAP? A. To generate plant images. B. To conduct research on animals. C. To study climate patterns. D. To track features of root growth. 14. What will SLEAP help the scientists do? A. Pick out diseased plants in the forest. B. Collect samples of plant root systems. C. Identify genes for desirable plant roots. D. Preserve the genes of endangered plants. 15. What can be inferred from Pereira’s words? A. Academic disciplines are of equal importance. B. Computer programming is a must for scientists. C. Interdisciplinary approach promotes creativity. D. Cooperation outweighs competition in research. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述索尔克研究所科学家为固碳优化植物根系，将原追踪动物AI工具SLEAP应用于研究植物根系表型，助力筛选有益基因，这也是跨学科合作的成果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization ( 优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage. (索尔克研究所的科学家们通过强化植物根系，利用其吸收二氧化碳的天然能力。这一优化旨在增加碳的储存量并延长其储存时间。)”可知，索尔克研究所的科学家们希望让植物储存更多的碳。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. (SLEAP 由索尔克研究所的塔尔莫・佩雷拉研发，最初被设计用于在实验室中追踪动物的活动。)”可知，佩雷拉研发SLEAP是为了开展动物相关研究。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs. (此外，追踪这些植物根系的物理特征，有助于科学家找到与这些特征相关的基因，同时还能弄清多种根系特征是由同一基因决定，还是各自独立调控。这也让索尔克研究所的研究团队能够确定，哪些基因对其植物育种研究最具利用价值。)”可知，SLEAP能帮助科学家识别出利于培育理想根系的基因。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段佩雷拉的话“We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts. (我们不只是从不同学科中‘借鉴’，而是真正让各学科处于平等地位，以创造出比各部分总和更有价值的成果。)”可知，跨学科的研究方法能够促进创新。故选C项。 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2分，共10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。 From posters to newspaper articles to presidential speeches, inspirational quotes are everywhere.____16____Perhaps some have been wrongly attributed (归因) over time, but others are just fake. There’s an often-shared internet meme (网络梗) that says: “The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true — Abraham Lincoln.” Of course, Lincoln didn’t say this! This internet meme perfectly illustrates the problem, but misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention. ____17____For example, in 1919, American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying: “A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.” It’s a nice quote. But Garson O’Toole who investigates the origins of quotes on Quote Investigator believes Mark Twain never said such a thing. The quote is probably based on something the English-Irish writer Jonathan Swift wrote in 1710: “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.” This changed over time, and somehow got attributed to Twain. People like to attribute quotes to famous people because the name gives authority to the statement. That’s why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill.____18____ The internet has just made these quotes spread faster and farther.____19____But others are used to mean harm, perhaps to give the impression that a hurtful idea has been supported by a respected person — making it feel more acceptable to agree with. So how can we spot these fake quotes? It’s not always easy, say experts, because some have been attributed wrongly by thousands of websites and publications, including reputable ones. As with fake news, doing a bit of research is a good idea if you want to make sure you’re using an accurate quote.____20____ A. Some are shared quite harmlessly. B. Therefore, never coin your own quote. C. But there’s just one problem: many are incorrect. D. And Quote Investigator isn’t a bad place to start. E. It was not Lincoln but Mark Twain who said that. F. The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet. G. They were even having quotes misattributed to them while alive. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章聚焦网络和生活中随处可见的励志名言存在错误引用、张冠李戴甚至完全伪造的现象，介绍了虚假名言古已有之、被安在名人身上的原因、互联网带来的传播影响，并给出了辨别真伪的方法，为人们识别和正确使用名言提供了清晰指引。 【16题详解】 根据上文“From posters to newspaper articles to presidential speeches, inspirational quotes are everywhere.(从海报、报刊文章到总统演讲，励志名言随处可见)”以及下文“Perhaps some have been wrongly attributed over time, but others are just fake.(也许有些是长期被错误归属，有些则完全是伪造的)”可知，空格处需要转折，指出名言存在问题。C选项“But there’s just one problem: many are incorrect.(但有一个问题：很多都是不正确的)”承上启下，引出后文关于虚假名言的话题，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention.(错误归属的名言并非数字时代的产物)”以及下文“For example, in 1919, American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying: “A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.”(比如，1919 年有人援引已于1910年去世的美国作家马克・吐温的话说：“真理还在穿鞋，谎言已走遍天下。”)”可知，空格处需要说明这种现象历史更久。F选项“The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet.(虚假名言的历史比互联网久远得多)”承接上文，与后文例子逻辑一致，符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“That’s why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill.(这就是为什么你会看到很多名言被归到爱因斯坦、玛丽莲·梦露、丘吉尔等人身上)”可知，空格处需要继续说明这些名人被乱安名言的情况。G选项“They were even having quotes misattributed to them while alive.(他们甚至在世时就有名言被错误安在自己身上)”进一步补充说明，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“But others are used to mean harm, perhaps to give the impression that a hurtful idea has been supported by a respected person—making it feel more acceptable to agree with.(但另一些（引言/引用）却被用来制造伤害：或许是为了营造一种假象，让某个伤人的观点看起来像是得到了某位受人尊敬者的支持，从而让人觉得更容易接受、愿意认同)”可知，空格处需要与后文形成对比，说明有些虚假名言是无害的。A选项“Some are shared quite harmlessly.(有些被传播时并无恶意)”与后文构成“有些……另一些……”的并列结构，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“As with fake news, doing a bit of research is a good idea if you want to make sure you’re using an accurate quote.(和假新闻一样，如果你想确保用的名言准确，做点研究是个好主意)”可知，空格处需要给出具体可参考的渠道。D选项“And Quote Investigator isn’t a bad place to start.(而Quote Investigator就是个不错的起点)”承接上文，给出具体建议，符合语境。故选D项。 第二部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It’s a very strange time to be a writer.

Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s hair and the bright orange of his shorts. “Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he jumped with ease. “I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! “Ouch!” My shoe was stuck between two rocks. I bent down and that’s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket. Sam stopped waiting for me. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket. I was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business. “Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival! ” “Ryan wasted her pocket money on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” My family calls me their “little collector”. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”. Sam and I walked along the main street. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window caught my attention: Lost: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster: The necklace looked different from the one in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought. Para1 Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2 Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. So far, there had been many things like mini cola bottles and shakers. I stared at the shiny blue stone, which put other things in shade. “So beautiful!” I murmured. But soon a flow of questions arose: Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it very special? Should I return it to her? … I paced back and forth in my room, not knowing what to do. Having struggled for a long time, I dialed the number on the poster, told Chrissy that I happened to spot a gold necklace by the sea and made an appointment with her. Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. Looking at the recovered blue stone in her hand, Chrissy burst into tears. After a while, she calmed down and told me the necklace was a gift from her dear grandma who died 10 years ago. “Thank you. Never can you imagine how sad I was when I lost it.” she sobbed.” It is the only reminder of the happy old days between us.” She thanked me again and gifted me a bag of candies. On my way home, I congratulated myself on making the right choice. Well, I was “a treasure girl” as Chrissy nicknamed me instead of “a trash girl” called by the mean kids at school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者在和哥哥玩耍时意外捡到了一串珍贵的项链，作者很喜欢并且想要据为己有，但是在回家的路上却看到了一则寻找与之相似的项链的寻物启事，在经过激烈的思想斗争之后作者决定把项链还给失主，作者最后感受到诚实弥足珍贵。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家后，因为特别的东西，我把项链放在我的特别的地方，陷入沉思。”可知，第一段可描写作者为是否要归还项链纠结挣扎。 ②由第二段首句内容“十五分钟后，我在糖果店里坐在克丽丝对面。”可知，第二段可描写克丽丝看到项链之后的反应和作者归还项链后的感受。 2.续写线索：挣扎——决定——联络——归还——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.低语：murmur /mutter ②.盯住：stare at / gaze at ③.归还：return/give back 情绪类 ①.感谢：thank/express her appreciation/show her gratitude/be grateful ②.大哭起来：burst into tears / burst out crying /cry loudly 【点睛】[高分句型1] I stared at the shiny blue stone, which put other things in shade.
