You will get involved in feeding, cleaning, daily care, etc. with other staff members who have years of experience on each project.(一般来说，巴厘岛野生动物救援志愿者周一至周四每天工作约3-5小时，周五是可选的，但鼓励工作。你将与其他在每个项目上有多年经验的工作人员一起参与喂养、清洁、日常护理等工作)”可知，志愿者的要求是参与各种任务。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Highlights下的“A top destination for first-times looking for a secure and social experience.(首次寻求安全和社交体验的首选目的地)”可知，参与者可以从项目中获得丰富的社交经验。故选C项。 B On these dark winter evenings, I find myself daydreaming of summer. I think of the one activity and place that quiets my mind: clamming (挖蛤) on Cape Cod. Before I had kids, it was a much-needed active outing after days of vacation-level eating. But when I went with kids, the experience took a turn from relaxation to devotion. The bay became part of the world I was trying to build for my children. The act of clamming became an unexpected escape,a moment when I wasn't thinking about 20 different things, when I wasn’t really thinking at all. This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land. And when they raised their basket and it wasn’t a rock for the hundredth time, but rather a shining clam, it was a richer moment than if they had struck gold. Seeing a child holding up a clam with an expression of success on his face does more for the heart than any meditation (冥想) ever could. I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet.At this point, it is more adventure than getaway. At the end of our clamming morning, my 6-year-old refused to leave, insisting she needed one more clam. When she finally caught one more clam, she laughed, pride written all over her face. To be fair, perhaps what she needed to get from clamming was not what I needed. Perhaps what she needed was to have a tiny bit of control over this wild world, one in which she has little say. In that moment, she was victorious, if not in calm, then in clam. 4. Why did the author go clamming before having children? A. To get together with her friends. B. To spend quality time with her family. C. To escape the responsibility as an adult. D. To enjoy relaxation after overeating. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The experience of clamming. B. The benefits of meditation. C. The change of a generational tradition. D. The necessity of exploring the land. 6. How do the kids find clamming? A. Demanding and boring. B. Complicated and tiring. C. Adventurous and rewarding. D. Painful and disappointing. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author and her kids? A. They are successful in removing stress. B. Clamming is the most interesting to them. C. They refused to leave the bay. D. Clamming has different meanings to them. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章描述了作者对于夏季挖蛤活动的热爱，以及当她与孩子们一起挖蛤时，这种活动从简单的放松转变为一种更深层次的奉献和连接。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I think of the one activity and place that quiets my mind: clamming (挖蛤) on Cape Cod.( 我想到了一个能让我安静下来的活动和地方：在科德角挖蛤。)”和文章第二段“Before I had kids, it was a much-needed active outing after days of vacation-level eating. (在我有孩子之前，这是在几天的假期饮食之后非常需要的一次积极的郊游。)”可知，作者在文中提到，在她有孩子之前，挖蛤是一种在度假期间大吃大喝后急需的户外活动，可以让她放松身心。因此，作者去挖蛤是为了在暴饮暴食后享受放松的时光。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land. And when they raised their basket and it wasn’t a rock for the hundredth time, but rather a shining clam, it was a richer moment than if they had struck gold. Seeing a child holding up a clam with an expression of success on his face does more for the heart than any meditation (冥想) ever could.(今年，我的孩子们第一次加入了挖蛤的行列。当我的孩子们差点用耙子耙到我的脚时，我一直在尖叫。但有东西可以教给他们，不仅能把他们与世代的传统联系起来，还能把他们与这片土地的历史联系起来，这让他们感到高兴。当他们第100次举起篮子的时候，发现篮子里不是一块石头，而是一只闪闪发光的蛤蜊，那一刻比他们挖到金子还要丰富。看到一个孩子拿着一只蛤蜊，脸上带着成功的表情，比任何冥想都更能打动人心。)”可知，第三段主要描述了作者和孩子们一起挖蛤的经历，包括作者的感受和孩子们的表现。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land.(今年，我的孩子们第一次加入了挖蛤的行列。当我的孩子们差点用耙子耙到我的脚时，我一直在尖叫。但有东西可以教给他们，不仅能把他们与世代的传统联系起来，还能把他们与这片土地的历史联系起来，这让他们感到高兴。)”和最后一段“I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet. At this point, it is more adventure than getaway.(我希望有一天我的孩子们能像我一样把挖蛤视为一种放松。他们还没到那一步。在这一点上，它更像是冒险而不是逃避。)”以及“When she finally caught one more clam, she laughed, pride written all over her face.(她终于又抓到一只蛤蜊时，她笑了，脸上写满了自豪。)”可知，孩子们认为挖蛤是既冒险又有意义的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet. At this point, it is more adventure than getaway.( 我希望有一天我的孩子们能像我一样把挖蛤视为一种放松。他们还没到那一步。在这一点上，它更像是冒险而不是逃避。)”和“To be fair, perhaps what she needed to get from clamming was not what I needed. Perhaps what she needed was to have a tiny bit of control over this wild world, one in which she has little say.(公平地说，也许她需要从捕蛤中得到的并不是我需要的。也许她需要的是对这个狂野的世界有一点点控制，一个她几乎没有发言权的世界。)”可知，最后一段中提到作者和孩子对挖蛤有不同的看法和需求，作者希望孩子将挖蛤视为放松的方式，但孩子可能更需要的是在野生世界中拥有一点点控制权，这表明挖蛤对他们有不同的意义。故选D。 C Air pollution is among the biggest threats against humans, which causes seven million early deaths a year. To fight this problem, four friends put their heads together and designed CityTree, which is a mobile structure that can capture as many pollutants as a forest made up of 275 trees. What makes the ‘tree’ special is that it’s not a regular tree at all; it is made up of moss cultures (苔藓培养物) that do a great job of absorption. “Moss cultures have a much larger surface than any other plant,” Zhengliang Wu, co-founder of Green City Solutions, explained to CNN. “That means we can capture more pollutants.” The entire ‘tree’ sustains itself using solar panels that generate electricity so that it can collect rainwater itself. To monitor the health of the moss, the CityTree has sensors which measure temperature and water quality. Now, about 20 CityTrees can be found in major cities like Oslo, and Paris. The team also has plans to introduce the CityTree to cities in lower-income countries, which may have worse air pollution. However, Gary Fuller, an expert on air pollution, thinks that the concept of an urban air purifier might be too ambitious. “Even if you had a perfect air cleaner, getting the surrounding air in contact with it is really hard,” he said. Pollution made by cars, for example, spreads upwards a few kilometers into the air. “Efforts would be better put into stopping the pollution from forming in the first place,” he added. In response, the CityTree inventors say that they are aware of this and choose the location of each CityTree carefully. They are also testing a system to create their own air flow that draws the pollution to the “tree”. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning the CityTree? A. Its appearance. B. Its operating process. C. How it works. D. How it gets powered. 9. What is Gary Fuller’s attitude to the CityTree? A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 10. What will the CityTree inventors probably do? A. Develop a new type of air cleaner. B. Make improvements to the structure. C. Redirect efforts to make greener cars. D. Expand their business in rich countries. 11. Which of the following is the best title for this text? A. Global Efforts in Planting Trees B. The Alarming Trend of Air Pollution C. A Structure that Will Change the World D. The ‘Tree’ with the Green Benefits of a Forest 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“城市树”可以改善空气污染，介绍了其工作原理以及好处。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““Moss cultures have a much larger surface than any other plant,” Zhengliang Wu, co-founder of Green City Solutions, explained to CNN. “That means we can capture more pollutants.” The entire ‘tree’ sustains itself using solar panels that generate electricity so that it can collect rainwater itself. To monitor the health of the moss, the CityTree has sensors which measure temperature and water quality. (绿色城市解决方案的联合创始人吴正良向CNN解释说：“苔藓的表面比其他任何植物都要大得多。”“这意味着我们可以捕获更多的污染物。”整棵“树”通过太阳能电池板来维持自身，太阳能电池板可以发电，这样它就可以自己收集雨水。为了监测苔藓的健康状况，“城市树”装有测量温度和水质的传感器。)”可知，第2段主要是关于CityTree是如何工作的。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, Gary Fuller, an expert on air pollution, thinks that the concept of an urban air purifier might be too ambitious. “Even if you had a perfect air cleaner, getting the surrounding air in contact with it is really hard,” he said. Pollution made by cars, for example, spreads upwards a few kilometers into the air. “Efforts would be better put into stopping the pollution from forming in the first place,” he added. (然而，空气污染专家加里·富勒认为，城市空气净化器的概念可能过于雄心勃勃。“即使你有一台完美的空气净化器，也很难让周围的空气接触到它，”他说。例如，汽车造成的污染向上扩散几公里进入空气中。他补充说：“最好从一开始就努力阻止污染的形成。”)”可知，加里·富勒对城市树的态度是怀疑。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are also testing a system to create their own air flow that draws the pollution to the “tree”. (他们还在测试一个系统，该系统可以制造自己的气流，将污染物吸入“树”。)”可知，CityTree的发明者可能会对结构进行改进。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“To fight this problem, four friends put their heads together and designed CityTree, which is a mobile structure that can capture as many pollutants as a forest made up of 275 trees. What makes the ‘tree’ special is that it’s not a regular tree at all; it is made up of moss cultures (苔藓培养物) that do a great job of absorption. (为了解决这个问题，四个朋友集思广想，设计了“城市树”，这是一个移动结构，可以捕获与275棵树组成的森林一样多的污染物。这棵“树”的特别之处在于，它根本不是一棵普通的树；它是由苔藓培养物组成的，吸收效果很好。)”结合文章主要介绍了“城市树”可以改善空气污染，介绍了其工作原理以及好处。可知，D选项“具有森林绿色效益的‘树’”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Researchers have recently discovered that gut microbiome — bacteria that grow within our body — helps the brain build important social skills. According to a paper published in PLOS Biology in November, zebra fish were used as research subjects to test how a lack of microbiome could alter social skills. Zebra fish are social animals as even 2-week-old fish starts to hang out in groups of 4 to 12. The experiment started with making a group of fish “germ-free” through their diet. The other group were injected with a healthy mix of gut bacteria after they were hatched (孵化). About 15 days later, the second group began swimming in groups while the “germ-free” group “shockingly, didn’t,” Judith Eisen, a co-author of the new research, said to Quanta Magazine. The team then examined the fish’s brains, discovering obvious differences between the two groups. The ones who lacked the gut microbiome had more interconnections among the neurons (神经元) in their brains in charge of social behavior. It also led to fewer microglia (小神经胶质), the neural immune cells that help clean the brain’s unwanted neurons. With less microglia to clear the brain’s neurons, social neurons were seen to have overgrown. This made the fish more cautious in social situations. Scientists hypothesized (假设) that the bacteria could release a special chemical that crosses the blood-brain barrier to reach the brain directly. Or, the immune cells might move between the gut and the brain, sending messages. Although the experiments were only on fish, the findings can theoretically be applied to humans. The team wishes to explore how gut microbiome affects the human brain in the future, which may lead to solutions to mental health problems. Perhaps many people who claim that they have “social phobia (社交恐惧症)” can blame their guts. However, social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, can be a serious illness if overlooked. According to the National Health Service in the UK, it is more than shyness but instead a constant fear of social situations. Patients may experience panic attacks which are an overwhelming fear and anxiety that last for a few minutes. 12. What is the primary purpose of the experiment? A. To determine the dietary preferences of zebra fish. B. To explore the reproductive habits of social animals. C. To compare the neural structures of different fish species. D. To investigate the impact of gut microbiome on social behavior 13. What can be inferred from the passage about the “germ-free” fish? A. They had an increased number of microglia compared to the others. B. They behaved in a less cautious way when interacting with other fish. C. They had more interconnections in the brain areas responsible for social behavior D. They swam in larger groups than the fish with gut bacteria at the very beginning. 14. How might gut bacteria influence the brain as assumed by scientists? A. Direct neural connections between the gut and the brain. B. Release of a chemical that can cross the blood-brain barrier. C. The alteration of the fish’s DNA to change brain structure. D. The physical movement of bacteria from the gut to the brain. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It emphasizes the importance of social behavior in the animal studies. B. It shows how social phobia can be easily cured by improving gut health C. It highlights the complexity and uncertainty of scientific experiments. D. It discusses the potential link between gut bacteria and social behavior. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于肠道微生物群与社交行为关联的研究。研究者通过斑马鱼实验发现，肠道微生物群的缺失会影响大脑神经结构，进而导致社交行为变化，并探讨了其对人类的潜在影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers have recently discovered that gut microbiome — bacteria that grow within our body — helps the brain build important social skills. (研究人员最近发现，肠道微生物群 —— 在我们体内生长的细菌 —— 有助于大脑建立重要的社交技能。)”以及第二段中“According to a paper published in PLOS Biology in November, zebra fish were used as research subjects to test how a lack of microbiome could alter social skills. (根据11月发表在《公共科学图书馆·生物学》上的一篇论文，斑马鱼被用作研究对象，以测试缺乏微生物群如何改变社交技能。)”可知，实验的主要目的是调查肠道微生物群对社交行为的影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The ones who lacked the gut microbiome had more interconnections among the neurons (神经元) in their brains in charge of social behavior. (那些缺乏肠道微生物群的斑马鱼，其大脑中负责社交行为的神经元之间的相互连接更多。)”可推知，没有肠道微生物群的斑马鱼在大脑中负责社交行为的区域有更多的相互连接。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Scientists hypothesized (假设) that the bacteria could release a special chemical that crosses the blood-brain barrier to reach the brain directly. (科学家们假设，这些细菌可以释放一种特殊的化学物质，这种化学物质可以穿过血脑屏障，直接到达大脑。)”可知，科学家假设肠道细菌可能释放一种可以穿过血脑屏障的化学物质来影响大脑。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“Researchers have recently discovered that gut microbiome — bacteria that grow within our body — helps the brain build important social skills. (研究人员最近发现，肠道微生物群 —— 在我们体内生长的细菌 —— 有助于大脑建立重要的社交技能。)”可知，文章主要讨论了肠道细菌和社交行为之间的潜在联系。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Resilience refers to the ability to recover quickly from difficulties, setbacks and failures. Resilient individuals are able to bounce back from tough situation, often strengthened and more powerful than before. Research has shown that for certain people, resilience may seem to come naturally. ___16___. Here are some techniques you can employ. Believe in yourself Having confidence in your own ability to cope with the stress of life can play an important part in resilience. Always remind yourself of your own strengths and accomplishments. ___17___. When you hear them, practice immediately replacing them with positive ones, such as, “I can do this,” “I’m a great friend/mother/partner,” or “I’m good at my job.” ___18___ Having caring, supportive people around you acts as a protective factor during times of crisis. While simply talking about a situation with a friend or loved one won’t make your trouble go away, it allows you to share your feelings, get support, receive positive feedback, and come up with possible solutions to your problems. Embrace change ___19___. By learning how to be more adaptable, you’ll be better equipped to respond when faced with a life crisis. Resilient people often use the event as an opportunity to branch out in new directions. While some people may feel upset by sudden changes, highly resilient individuals are able to adapt and make progress. Everyone can learn to be resilient and it doesn’t involve any specific set of behaviors or actions. ___20___. Resilience may take time to build, so don’t get discouraged if you still struggle to cope with different problems. A. Be willing to share B. Develop a strong social network C. Therefore, they get out of trouble easily D. Don’t be afraid of the negative comments E. Flexibility is an essential part of resilience F. However, it can also be learned later in life G. It can vary dramatically from person to person 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. B 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要解释了“韧性”的概念，即快速从困难、挫折和失败中恢复的能力，并给出了一些培养韧性的技巧和建议。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Research has shown that for certain people, resilience may seem to come naturally.(研究表明，对某些人来说，韧性似乎是天生的)”以及后文“Here are some techniques you can employ.(这里有一些你可以使用的技巧)”可知，前文讲述韧性似乎是天生的，后文又说有些技巧可用，所以前后是转折关系，空处应表转折，F项“However, it can also be learned later in life(然而，它也可以在以后的生活中学习)”符合文意，和前文构成转折关系，引出下文。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Always remind yourself of your own strengths and accomplishments.(时刻提醒自己的长处和成就)”以及后文“When you hear them, practice immediately replacing them with positive ones, such as, “I can do this,” “I’m a great friend/mother/partner,” or “I’m good at my job.”(当你听到它们时，马上练习用积极的话语代替它们，比如，“我能做到”，“我是一个很好的朋友/母亲/伴侣”，或者“我很擅长我的工作”)”可知，后文提到的“它们”应是和积极的话相对的，而空前没有提到，所以应是空处提及，D项“Don’t be afraid of the negative comments(不要害怕负面的评论)”符合文意。故选D项。 【18题详解】 分析设空，为本段小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“Having caring, supportive people around you acts as a protective factor during times of crisis. While simply talking about a situation with a friend or loved one won’t make your trouble go away, it allows you to share your feelings, get support, receive positive feedback, and come up with possible solutions to your problems.(在危机时刻，身边有关心你、支持你的人是一种保护因素。虽然简单地和朋友或爱人谈论一个情况不会让你的麻烦消失，但它可以让你分享你的感受，得到支持，得到积极的反馈，并提出可能的解决问题的方法)”可知，本段主要讲述了得到身边人的支持，所以B项“Develop a strong social network(建立一个强大的社交网络)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选B项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“By learning how to be more adaptable, you’ll be better equipped to respond when faced with a life crisis. Resilient people often use the event as an opportunity to branch out in new directions. While some people may feel upset by sudden changes, highly resilient individuals are able to adapt and make progress.(通过学习如何更有适应能力，你就能更好地应对生活危机。适应力强的人通常会把这个事件作为一个向新方向拓展的机会。虽然有些人可能会对突然的变化感到不安，但高度适应力强的人能够适应并取得进步)”可知，本段主要讲述适应力强的人能够适应变化并取得进步，所以E项“Flexibility is an essential part of resilience(灵活性是适应力的重要组成部分)”符合本段主题，其中resilience和Resilient为同构词。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Everyone can learn to be resilient and it doesn’t involve any specific set of behaviors or actions.(每个人都可以学会适应，它不涉及任何特定的行为或行动)”以及后文“Resilience may take time to build, so don’t get discouraged if you still struggle to cope with different problems.(韧性可能需要时间来培养，所以如果你仍然在努力应对不同的问题，不要气馁)”可知，本段是总结性段落，讲述每个人都能学会适应，所以G项“It can vary dramatically from person to person(这可能因人而异)”为总结性句子，且引出下文，符合文意。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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang.

She looked much younger than her fifteen years, a worn coat hanging loose above her. We weren’t supposed to take a child, but an emergency call came through that morning. A home was needed for a young girl immediately. I, together with four children, hurried to get her room ready. The kids were great. Joanne, our second-eldest daughter, did the cleaning and Margaret, Rob and Jeff helped make the bed. I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I was excited, but scared at the same time because I was told an adopted child might give us a lot of trouble. That afternoon, Trudy arrived with the social worker Mrs. Kline. She stepped into the front hall and stood against the wall. I will never forget the look in her eyes. The first thing that came to my mind was that she looked like a hunted animal. The children moved towards her, and Jeff grabbed her hand and said proudly, “Come and see your room. I helped make your bed.” Trudy pulled back, speechless. At this point, I stepped towards her and said, "Welcome to our home, Trudy. “She looked at me with such blank eyes. But with her head bowed, she simply said, eyes moving back and forth like a creature looking for a way out, “No, thank you.” For the first two weeks, Trudy was very quiet. She would come into the kitchen while I was working, and we would discuss school and what she would like to do in the future. Mrs. Kline had given us all the information about her history, but I never mentioned the terrible things that had happened to her. As the days went by, Trudy became a delight to have around. Very quickly, it seemed like she had always been with us. The girls would sit in each other’s rooms and giggle(咯咯笑) like typical teenagers. It was a sound that warmed my soul. However, when they talked about new clothes, Trudy fell silent again. 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。 I took Joanne shopping for a winter coat, and Trudy came too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I presented the jacket Trudy had tried on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I took Joanne shopping for a winter coat, and Trudy came too. Thrilled, Joanne tried on one coat after another. Trudy stared at her with eyes wide open. “It looks so nice on you!” she babbled, but her eyes were glued to a jacket. Then, Joanne encouraged her to try it on. Excitement shining on her face, Trudy picked the jacket out, posing at ease. However, she turned, replaced it, and rejoined Joanne. While they were busy, I quietly asked the salesperson to wrap up the jacket. Back home, I presented the jacket Trudy had tried on. Unexpectedly, Trudy started sobbing. “No one has ever bought me a beautiful jacket like this.” My voice shook, “You really deserve it.” I slid into my room so she would not see me crying. Suddenly, a knock came at the door, where stood my children. Margaret stepped forward, “Mom, we hope we can keep her forever.” Others nodded in agreement. My eyes welled up with tears, whispering, “Trudy is really lucky, but I am luckiest.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家收养了一个十五岁的女孩Trudy，这个女孩刚到她家时，整个人很茫然很安静，后来慢慢适应，变得活泼的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 由第一段首句内容“我带乔安妮去买冬衣，特鲁迪也来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者带着Joanne和Trudy去买冬衣时的经过。 由第二段首句内容“回到家，我拿出特鲁迪试穿过的那件夹克。”可知，第二段可描写作者将偷偷买回来的夹克拿出来后，Trudy的反应以及家人的想法和举动。 2.续写线索：带去买衣服——试衣服——放回——偷买夹克——感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 盯着看：stare at / gaze at / peer at 全神贯注地看着：be glued to / be wrapped up in 涌出泪水：well up with tears / burst into tears 情绪类 感到兴奋的：thrilled / excited 幸运的：lucky / fortunate 【点睛】【高分句型1】While they were busy, I quietly asked the salesperson to wrap up the jacket.(运用了while引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Suddenly, a knock came at the door, where stood my children.(运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高坪中学高2023级2025年春期中考试 英 语 试 卷 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纸上。 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。 1.

B On these dark winter evenings, I find myself daydreaming of summer. I think of the one activity and place that quiets my mind: clamming (挖蛤) on Cape Cod. Before I had kids, it was a much-needed active outing after days of vacation-level eating. But when I went with kids, the experience took a turn from relaxation to devotion. The bay became part of the world I was trying to build for my children. The act of clamming became an unexpected escape,a moment when I wasn't thinking about 20 different things, when I wasn’t really thinking at all. This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land. And when they raised their basket and it wasn’t a rock for the hundredth time, but rather a shining clam, it was a richer moment than if they had struck gold. Seeing a child holding up a clam with an expression of success on his face does more for the heart than any meditation (冥想) ever could. I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet.At this point, it is more adventure than getaway. At the end of our clamming morning, my 6-year-old refused to leave, insisting she needed one more clam. When she finally caught one more clam, she laughed, pride written all over her face. To be fair, perhaps what she needed to get from clamming was not what I needed. Perhaps what she needed was to have a tiny bit of control over this wild world, one in which she has little say. In that moment, she was victorious, if not in calm, then in clam. 4. Why did the author go clamming before having children? A. To get together with her friends. B. To spend quality time with her family. C. To escape the responsibility as an adult. D. To enjoy relaxation after overeating. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The experience of clamming. B. The benefits of meditation. C. The change of a generational tradition. D. The necessity of exploring the land. 6. How do the kids find clamming? A. Demanding and boring. B. Complicated and tiring. C. Adventurous and rewarding. D. Painful and disappointing. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author and her kids? A. They are successful in removing stress. B. Clamming is the most interesting to them. C. They refused to leave the bay. D. Clamming has different meanings to them. C Air pollution is among the biggest threats against humans, which causes seven million early deaths a year. To fight this problem, four friends put their heads together and designed CityTree, which is a mobile structure that can capture as many pollutants as a forest made up of 275 trees. What makes the ‘tree’ special is that it’s not a regular tree at all; it is made up of moss cultures (苔藓培养物) that do a great job of absorption. “Moss cultures have a much larger surface than any other plant,” Zhengliang Wu, co-founder of Green City Solutions, explained to CNN. “That means we can capture more pollutants.” The entire ‘tree’ sustains itself using solar panels that generate electricity so that it can collect rainwater itself. To monitor the health of the moss, the CityTree has sensors which measure temperature and water quality. Now, about 20 CityTrees can be found in major cities like Oslo, and Paris. The team also has plans to introduce the CityTree to cities in lower-income countries, which may have worse air pollution. However, Gary Fuller, an expert on air pollution, thinks that the concept of an urban air purifier might be too ambitious. “Even if you had a perfect air cleaner, getting the surrounding air in contact with it is really hard,” he said. Pollution made by cars, for example, spreads upwards a few kilometers into the air. “Efforts would be better put into stopping the pollution from forming in the first place,” he added. In response, the CityTree inventors say that they are aware of this and choose the location of each CityTree carefully. They are also testing a system to create their own air flow that draws the pollution to the “tree”. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning the CityTree? A. Its appearance. B. Its operating process. C. How it works. D. How it gets powered. 9. What is Gary Fuller’s attitude to the CityTree? A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 10. What will the CityTree inventors probably do? A. Develop a new type of air cleaner. B. Make improvements to the structure. C. Redirect efforts to make greener cars. D. Expand their business in rich countries. 11. Which of the following is the best title for this text? A. Global Efforts in Planting Trees B. The Alarming Trend of Air Pollution C. A Structure that Will Change the World D. The ‘Tree’ with the Green Benefits of a Forest D Researchers have recently discovered that gut microbiome — bacteria that grow within our body — helps the brain build important social skills. According to a paper published in PLOS Biology in November, zebra fish were used as research subjects to test how a lack of microbiome could alter social skills. Zebra fish are social animals as even 2-week-old fish starts to hang out in groups of 4 to 12. The experiment started with making a group of fish “germ-free” through their diet. The other group were injected with a healthy mix of gut bacteria after they were hatched (孵化). About 15 days later, the second group began swimming in groups while the “germ-free” group “shockingly, didn’t,” Judith Eisen, a co-author of the new research, said to Quanta Magazine. The team then examined the fish’s brains, discovering obvious differences between the two groups. The ones who lacked the gut microbiome had more interconnections among the neurons (神经元) in their brains in charge of social behavior. It also led to fewer microglia (小神经胶质), the neural immune cells that help clean the brain’s unwanted neurons. With less microglia to clear the brain’s neurons, social neurons were seen to have overgrown. This made the fish more cautious in social situations. Scientists hypothesized (假设) that the bacteria could release a special chemical that crosses the blood-brain barrier to reach the brain directly. Or, the immune cells might move between the gut and the brain, sending messages. Although the experiments were only on fish, the findings can theoretically be applied to humans. The team wishes to explore how gut microbiome affects the human brain in the future, which may lead to solutions to mental health problems. Perhaps many people who claim that they have “social phobia (社交恐惧症)” can blame their guts. However, social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, can be a serious illness if overlooked. According to the National Health Service in the UK, it is more than shyness but instead a constant fear of social situations. Patients may experience panic attacks which are an overwhelming fear and anxiety that last for a few minutes. 12. What is the primary purpose of the experiment? A. To determine the dietary preferences of zebra fish. B. To explore the reproductive habits of social animals. C. To compare the neural structures of different fish species. D. To investigate the impact of gut microbiome on social behavior 13. What can be inferred from the passage about the “germ-free” fish? A. They had an increased number of microglia compared to the others. B. They behaved in a less cautious way when interacting with other fish. C. They had more interconnections in the brain areas responsible for social behavior D. They swam in larger groups than the fish with gut bacteria at the very beginning. 14. How might gut bacteria influence the brain as assumed by scientists? A. Direct neural connections between the gut and the brain. B. Release of a chemical that can cross the blood-brain barrier. C. The alteration of the fish’s DNA to change brain structure. D. The physical movement of bacteria from the gut to the brain. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A.

She looked much younger than her fifteen years, a worn coat hanging loose above her. We weren’t supposed to take a child, but an emergency call came through that morning. A home was needed for a young girl immediately. I, together with four children, hurried to get her room ready. The kids were great. Joanne, our second-eldest daughter, did the cleaning and Margaret, Rob and Jeff helped make the bed. I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I was excited, but scared at the same time because I was told an adopted child might give us a lot of trouble. That afternoon, Trudy arrived with the social worker Mrs. Kline. She stepped into the front hall and stood against the wall. I will never forget the look in her eyes. The first thing that came to my mind was that she looked like a hunted animal. The children moved towards her, and Jeff grabbed her hand and said proudly, “Come and see your room. I helped make your bed.” Trudy pulled back, speechless. At this point, I stepped towards her and said, "Welcome to our home, Trudy. “She looked at me with such blank eyes. But with her head bowed, she simply said, eyes moving back and forth like a creature looking for a way out, “No, thank you.” For the first two weeks, Trudy was very quiet. She would come into the kitchen while I was working, and we would discuss school and what she would like to do in the future. Mrs. Kline had given us all the information about her history, but I never mentioned the terrible things that had happened to her. As the days went by, Trudy became a delight to have around. Very quickly, it seemed like she had always been with us. The girls would sit in each other’s rooms and giggle(咯咯笑) like typical teenagers. It was a sound that warmed my soul. However, when they talked about new clothes, Trudy fell silent again. 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。 I took Joanne shopping for a winter coat, and Trudy came too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I presented the jacket Trudy had tried on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
