The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: ● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. ● A total of up to six points can be earned each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 21. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. MTR Station. D. LWS Building. 22. What are participants required to do to score? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Choose a pre-set route. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Complete a round trip. 23. How many points do you get daily by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. B “What have I gotten myself into?” I wondered as I sat through a research meeting conducted entirely in Polish, unable to even read the title on the screen. Having only basic Polish language skills, I found my experiment in cross-cultural cooperation more challenging than I had expected. The idea of spending time abroad hadn’t occurred to me until my advisor suggested it during my first year. With his support, I enjoyed a remarkable summer in a laboratory in Japan, which left me wanting more. So, I applied for a Fulbright fellowship in Poland. To receive the fellowship, I first had to find a lab to host me, and neither I nor my advisor had any connections to Poland. Relying on Google to translate lab websites, I began to send cold emails. When my eventual host responded, eager to collaborate, I was thrilled. I suddenly felt the possibilities for my research career were endless and global. I was the first visiting scholar my research group had hosted from the United States, and my Polish colleagues were curious about what brought me to their country. This led to many fruitful discussions about the similarities and differences in how science is conducted across cultures. For example, much of the funding in Poland is awarded to teams rather than individuals. The system promotes cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) cooperations across the country, which in turn shapes how scientists design and carry out studies. I learned as much about the history and culture in Central and Eastern Europe as I did scientifically. Colleagues related firsthand accounts about challenges the region faced during the Cold War. Many laboratories had limited resources, and they rarely published their research in English. Those conditions helped shape research on antimicrobial treatment into bacteriophage and antibiotics, and Poland remain leaders in the former to this day. My cultural immersion made me a better researcher. I now see cross-cultural cooperations as a way to overcome communication barriers that can block progress in science. By stepping outside my comfort zone, I gained the confidence to navigate my research in new directions that I might have otherwise boxed myself out of. 24. Why did the author apply for fellowship in Poland? A. To follow the advisor’s suggestion. B. To practice Polish and learn its culture. C. To have another rewarding experience. D. To continue the research started in Japan. 25. How did the author benefit from the experience in Polland? A. He became an expert in Cold War history. B. He had access to cross-disciplinary cooperations. C. He obtained scientific knowledge and a global perspective. D. He secured individual funding for future research projects. 26. Which words best describe the author? A. Helpful and determined. B. Cautious and innovative. C. Curious and competitive. D. Adventurous and inquisitive. 27. What does the author imply about cross-cultural cooperations? A. They are essential for the advancement of science. B. They might box researchers out of a certain direction. C. They should prioritize language training over research. D. They are valueless for creative minds in scientific field. C When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling in a typical existence? There is an important element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation) by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A & M University. Recently, he and his research team set out to figure out whether EA was related to a person’s sense of meaning in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants. At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. They found people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those watched more neutral videos. After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. 28. Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To deliver moments of beauty. B. To explain personal experiences. C. To present the concept of EA. D. To show the necessity of protecting nature. 29. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By studying previous research data. B. By analyzing the response from the participants. C. By shooting videos starring the participants. D. By designing different strategies to reduce stress. 30. Who tends to find life more meaningful according to the text? A. A person who always gets her life well-organized. B. A person who leads a fast-paced life. C. A person who often hears motivating speeches. D. A person who always expects future results. 31. What life philosophy does the author show in the last paragraph? A. No pains, no gains. B. Live your life one day at a time. C. Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle. D. Those who believe in their ability can do anything. D For a long time, scientists believed the beautiful songs of birds were purely a product of instinct (本能). Peter Marler, a pioneering British animal behaviorist, revolutionized this view through his research into how birds actually learn to sing, earning him the title “the father of birdsong.” Marler’s fascination began in his youth, observing chaffinches (苍头燕雀) in the English countryside. He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. This curiosity defined his career. In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects,” were indeed real. His famous study of the white-crowned sparrow in California clearly showed distinct dialects between northern and southern populations. The central question remained: were these dialects inherited or learned? To solve this, Marler designed a series of experiments that would later be regarded as models of clarity. He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. This was decisive evidence that birdsong is a culturally transmitted behavior. Initially, his theory faced doubts from a scientific community that favored instinct-based explanations. The mainstream view still favored instinct, and some dismissed his work as an exception rather than a rule. Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies. Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. By transforming lines of numbers into meaningful maps of sound and behavior, he gave the world new eyes to see what had always been hidden in plain hearing. The impact of his work extended far beyond ornithology (鸟类学). It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes. 32. What did Marler find while observing chaffinches? A. Seasonal variations in dialects. B. Regional differences in birdsong. C. Slight changes in bird population. D. Common features in bird species. 33. What do the underlined words “culturally transmitted” mean in paragraph 3? A. Found in human language. B. Spread within a single family. C. Passed down through genes. D. Learned from others in a community. 34. What can we infer about Marler? A. His findings were soon accepted. B. He truly respected others’ opinion. C. He was a patient and careful scientist. D. He was the first to study bird behavior. 35. Why was Marler’s theory significant? A. It supported rare bird protection. B. It proved the once-popular theory. C. It made bird research more popular. D. It promoted the study of human speech. 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项。 Why Saying Hello in the Elevator Matters In our fast-paced lives, we often brush past small, casual interactions like a greeting in the elevator, believing that 30-second ride is a short stay between floors.____36____To uncover its hidden power, let’s break down several overlooked reasons below. ●____37____ People are always fixed on “significant” things like exams, and big goals, but life’s quiet warmth lies in those unseen gaps—brief pauses, wordless encounters, or the short shared silence in an elevator.____38____With this greeting, you’re letting them know they are not just someone you overlook in a hurry. ●It strengthens community bonds.

For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses. The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on “FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya, who loved herbs, made flower-scented candles using recycled jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets (手链) from online courses. I later contributed painted wooden keychains. Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee. Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan (借款). We jumped for joy in the hallway. We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan. “Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her. But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while chaos erupted around us. A booth (摊位) named “Game On!” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery” had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance. “Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I disagreed. The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go. Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke. 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。 “New plan. We can no longer wait for them to come to us,” I declared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the final bell rang, we counted our earnings eagerly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 集美中学2025-2026学年第二学期高二年级期中质量检测 英 语 试 题 （考试时间：120分钟；满分：150分） 第一部分 听力 （满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did the woman dislike about last night’s meal?

There’s not much of the original buildings left, but there’s still plenty to see. Our next overnight stop will be in the village of Cluny. There is a museum indicating the significance of sheep in the area over the centuries. The wool used to be sold for cloth and it brought richness to the district. From there, we’ll leave for Pennerley. Pennerley is well known for its museum of village life, but it’s being repaired at the moment. However, there’s an open-air farmer’s market every day, selling fruits and vegetables all grown within a few miles of the town and sold by the farmers themselves. It’s definitely worth a visit. In Farlow, which is one of the oldest towns in the region, there’s a museum that shows how horses used to be the most universal way of traveling around, and how they were gradually replaced with steam and later, of course, electric trains, buses, and cars. 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A WALK FOR GREEN How often do you walk around the campus instead of getting straight onto the shuttle bus? The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: ● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. ● A total of up to six points can be earned each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 21. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. MTR Station. D. LWS Building. 22. What are participants required to do to score? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Choose a pre-set route. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Complete a round trip. 23. How many points do you get daily by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍学校推出“Walk for Green”校园步行环保活动。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building.(从地铁站出发，“绿色行走”活动为同学们推荐了校园内的多条步行路线，其中有一条路线会经过YIA大楼、LSK大楼和LWS大楼)”可知，“绿色行走”活动从地铁站开始。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Important Notes部分“● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points.(● 步行者必须在一小时内完成一次行程（可以是向上走或者向下走），才能获得积分)”可知，参与者要选择预先设定好的路线。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Walking Journey Points图表内容可，“YIA Building ↔ LSK Building”对应2分，“LSK Building ↔ LWS Building”对应1分，从YIA Building步行至LWS Building需经过LSK Building，总积分为 2+1=3 分。 B “What have I gotten myself into?” I wondered as I sat through a research meeting conducted entirely in Polish, unable to even read the title on the screen. Having only basic Polish language skills, I found my experiment in cross-cultural cooperation more challenging than I had expected. The idea of spending time abroad hadn’t occurred to me until my advisor suggested it during my first year. With his support, I enjoyed a remarkable summer in a laboratory in Japan, which left me wanting more. So, I applied for a Fulbright fellowship in Poland. To receive the fellowship, I first had to find a lab to host me, and neither I nor my advisor had any connections to Poland. Relying on Google to translate lab websites, I began to send cold emails. When my eventual host responded, eager to collaborate, I was thrilled. I suddenly felt the possibilities for my research career were endless and global. I was the first visiting scholar my research group had hosted from the United States, and my Polish colleagues were curious about what brought me to their country. This led to many fruitful discussions about the similarities and differences in how science is conducted across cultures. For example, much of the funding in Poland is awarded to teams rather than individuals. The system promotes cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) cooperations across the country, which in turn shapes how scientists design and carry out studies. I learned as much about the history and culture in Central and Eastern Europe as I did scientifically. Colleagues related firsthand accounts about challenges the region faced during the Cold War. Many laboratories had limited resources, and they rarely published their research in English. Those conditions helped shape research on antimicrobial treatment into bacteriophage and antibiotics, and Poland remain leaders in the former to this day. My cultural immersion made me a better researcher. I now see cross-cultural cooperations as a way to overcome communication barriers that can block progress in science. By stepping outside my comfort zone, I gained the confidence to navigate my research in new directions that I might have otherwise boxed myself out of. 24. Why did the author apply for fellowship in Poland? A. To follow the advisor’s suggestion. B. To practice Polish and learn its culture. C. To have another rewarding experience. D. To continue the research started in Japan. 25. How did the author benefit from the experience in Polland? A. He became an expert in Cold War history. B. He had access to cross-disciplinary cooperations. C. He obtained scientific knowledge and a global perspective. D. He secured individual funding for future research projects. 26. Which words best describe the author? A. Helpful and determined. B. Cautious and innovative. C. Curious and competitive. D. Adventurous and inquisitive. 27. What does the author imply about cross-cultural cooperations? A. They are essential for the advancement of science. B. They might box researchers out of a certain direction. C. They should prioritize language training over research. D. They are valueless for creative minds in scientific field. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27.

When my eventual host responded, eager to collaborate, I was thrilled.(依靠谷歌翻译实验室网站，我开始发陌生邮件。当我最终的接待方回复我，并且渴望合作时，我非常激动)”可知，作者在日本有了一次不错的经历后，即便在没有与波兰相关联系，且自身波兰语技能仅为基础水平的情况下，仍大胆申请去波兰的奖学金，并主动发邮件联系实验室，这体现了他的冒险精神（Adventurous），敢于走出舒适区去尝试新的经历。再根据第四段 “I was the first visiting scholar my research group had hosted from the United States, and my Polish colleagues were curious about what brought me to their country. This led to many fruitful discussions about the similarities and differences in how science is conducted across cultures.(我是我的研究小组接待的第一位来自美国的访问学者，我的波兰同事们很好奇是什么把我带到了他们的国家。这引发了许多关于不同文化中科学研究方式的异同的富有成效的讨论)” 和第五段 “Colleagues related firsthand accounts about challenges the region faced during the Cold War. Many laboratories had limited resources, and they rarely published their research in English. Those conditions helped shape research on antimicrobial treatment into bacteriophage and antibiotics, and Poland remain leaders in the former to this day.(同事们讲述了该地区在冷战期间面临的挑战的第一手资料。许多实验室资源有限，而且他们很少用英语发表研究成果。这些条件促成了对噬菌体和抗生素的抗菌治疗的研究，并且波兰在前者方面至今仍处于领先地位)”可知，作者积极参与和同事们的讨论，了解当地科学研究的情况以及地区历史等内容，展现出他强烈的求知欲(inquisitive)，对新的知识和文化充满好奇并主动去探索。所以选项 D（有冒险精神和求知欲的）最能描述作者， 故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段 “I now see cross - cultural cooperations as a way to overcome communication barriers that can block progress in science.(我现在将跨文化合作视为克服阻碍科学进步的沟通障碍的一种方式)” 可推知，作者认为跨文化合作对科学的进步是至关重要的。故选A。 C When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling in a typical existence? There is an important element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation) by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A & M University. Recently, he and his research team set out to figure out whether EA was related to a person’s sense of meaning in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants. At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. They found people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those watched more neutral videos. After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. 28. Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To deliver moments of beauty. B. To explain personal experiences. C. To present the concept of EA. D. To show the necessity of protecting nature. 29. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By studying previous research data. B. By analyzing the response from the participants. C. By shooting videos starring the participants. D. By designing different strategies to reduce stress. 30. Who tends to find life more meaningful according to the text? A. A person who always gets her life well-organized. B. A person who leads a fast-paced life. C. A person who often hears motivating speeches. D. A person who always expects future results. 31. What life philosophy does the author show in the last paragraph? A. No pains, no gains. B. Live your life one day at a time. C. Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle. D. Those who believe in their ability can do anything. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是日常生活中细微之美对人们生活意义感的影响，探讨如何通过体验欣赏（EA）增强生活的充实感。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation) by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A&M University.”“Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike.

(想想你在漫长的冬天后停下来欣赏的第一只蝴蝶，或者想象一下新徒步旅行后山顶的风景。有时，存在会给我们带来美丽的瞬间。当人们乐于欣赏这些经历时，这些时刻可能会增强他们对生活的看法。德克萨斯A&M大学心理学教授Joshua Hicks将这一元素定义为EA（体验欣赏）。)”可知，文章第二段提到蝴蝶和山上风景的例子是为了引入一个概念——体验性欣赏。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. (在最初的测试中，研究人员让参与者对缓解压力的不同应对策略的一致性进行评分。)”和第四段中“Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. (研究人员随后进行了一系列实验，在这些实验中，他们给参与者分配了具体的任务，并再次要求他们报告他们对与目的相关的陈述的认同程度等。)”以及第四段中“After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory. (研究人员随后进行了一系列实验，在这些实验中，他们给参与者分配了具体的任务，并再次要求他们报告他们对与目的相关的陈述的认同程度等。)”可知，研究者通过分析参与者的不同反应来进行研究。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those watched more neutral videos. (在一个案例中，与观看更中性视频的参与者相比，观看令人敬畏的视频的参与者报告说，他们对EA和生活意义有更大的感觉。)”可知，经常听鼓舞人心的演讲的人更能找到生活的意义。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. (这种对未来结果的关注很容易让人错过现在正在发生的事情。然而，生活发生在当下。我们应该放慢脚步，让生活给我们惊喜，拥抱日常生活中的意义。)”可知，作者在最后一段告诉我们，应该生活在当下。故选B项。 D For a long time, scientists believed the beautiful songs of birds were purely a product of instinct (本能). Peter Marler, a pioneering British animal behaviorist, revolutionized this view through his research into how birds actually learn to sing, earning him the title “the father of birdsong.” Marler’s fascination began in his youth, observing chaffinches (苍头燕雀) in the English countryside. He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. This curiosity defined his career. In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects,” were indeed real. His famous study of the white-crowned sparrow in California clearly showed distinct dialects between northern and southern populations. The central question remained: were these dialects inherited or learned? To solve this, Marler designed a series of experiments that would later be regarded as models of clarity. He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. This was decisive evidence that birdsong is a culturally transmitted behavior. Initially, his theory faced doubts from a scientific community that favored instinct-based explanations. The mainstream view still favored instinct, and some dismissed his work as an exception rather than a rule. Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies. Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. By transforming lines of numbers into meaningful maps of sound and behavior, he gave the world new eyes to see what had always been hidden in plain hearing. The impact of his work extended far beyond ornithology (鸟类学). It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes. 32. What did Marler find while observing chaffinches? A. Seasonal variations in dialects. B. Regional differences in birdsong. C. Slight changes in bird population. D. Common features in bird species. 33. What do the underlined words “culturally transmitted” mean in paragraph 3? A. Found in human language. B. Spread within a single family. C. Passed down through genes. D. Learned from others in a community. 34. What can we infer about Marler? A. His findings were soon accepted. B. He truly respected others’ opinion. C. He was a patient and careful scientist. D. He was the first to study bird behavior. 35. Why was Marler’s theory significant? A. It supported rare bird protection. B. It proved the once-popular theory. C. It made bird research more popular. D. It promoted the study of human speech. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍“鸟类鸣叫之父”彼得・马(Peter Marler)，其通过研究发现鸟类鸣叫存在地区差异且需学习，颠覆本能论，还为人类语言研究提供模型。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. (他注意到来自不同地区的鸟类，其歌声存在细微但一致的差异，很像人类的方言。)”可知，马勒观察苍头燕雀时发现了鸟类歌声的地区差异。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. (他让幼鸟在完全隔绝成鸟叫声的环境中成长。这些被隔离的幼鸟仅能发出简单的本能鸣叫，这表明完整复杂的鸣唱并非天生。但如果在幼鸟孵化后的关键学习期给它们播放成鸟的鸣唱录音，它们就能成功学会并唱出完整的曲调。)”可知，鸟类的复杂歌声是通过学习同类的声音获得的。因此“culturally transmitted”指“在群体中向他人学习并传递”。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects,” were indeed real.(20世纪50年代，他开始仔细录制这些鸣叫。借助一种名为声谱图的关键工具 —— 这种工具能将声音可视化呈现 —— 他得以用科学方法证实，这些区域性差异（即“方言”）确实存在。)”和第四段“Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies. Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. (然而，马勒仍默默继续他严谨的研究。渐渐地，他设计精良的方法和无可辩驳的证据说服了科学界。)”可知，马勒是一位耐心且严谨的科学家。故选C项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes. (它为研究人类语言极其复杂演化过程的科学家提供了一个有力且更简单的模型，表明我们人类的语言可能源于类似的声音学习过程。)”可知，马勒的理论意义在于推动了人类语言研究。故选D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项。 Why Saying Hello in the Elevator Matters In our fast-paced lives, we often brush past small, casual interactions like a greeting in the elevator, believing that 30-second ride is a short stay between floors.____36____To uncover its hidden power, let’s break down several overlooked reasons below. ●____37____ People are always fixed on “significant” things like exams, and big goals, but life’s quiet warmth lies in those unseen gaps—brief pauses, wordless encounters, or the short shared silence in an elevator.____38____With this greeting, you’re letting them know they are not just someone you overlook in a hurry. ●It strengthens community bonds. Elevators are like small windows into the communities we’re part of. Greetings turn strangers into familiar faces. As these greetings repeat, they build a sense of belonging. You’Il recognize the neighbor who holds the elevator, or the classmate who smiles back. ____39____ ●It encounters unplanned opportunities. What’s an unplanned opportunity?

For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses. The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on “FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya, who loved herbs, made flower-scented candles using recycled jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets (手链) from online courses. I later contributed painted wooden keychains. Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee. Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan (借款). We jumped for joy in the hallway. We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan. “Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her. But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while chaos erupted around us. A booth (摊位) named “Game On!” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery” had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance. “Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I disagreed. The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go. Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke. 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。 “New plan. We can no longer wait for them to come to us,” I declared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the final bell rang, we counted our earnings eagerly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “New plan. We can no longer wait for them to come to us,” I declared. I grabbed a couple of our items and stepped straight into the crowd. My voice was tense but firm as I approached the students, introducing our crafts proudly — candles in recycled jars, woven bracelets, and painted wooden keychains. Attracted by our unique handmade items and eco-friendly ideas, they followed me to our booth. Maya, Jake and I smiled and served every customer warmly. Students asked about the herbs in the candles and the story behind each keychain and bracelet, their curiosity turning into purchases. After the final bell rang, we counted our earnings eagerly. Jake’s hands trembled as he counted the bills. “Three hundred and twenty-six dollars,” he announced. We hugged with laughter and joyful tears mixed. Three hundred for the loan, and twenty-six left to share. We realized the real reward was what we had discovered about ourselves. We had started the day as three nervous students with handmade crafts, but ended it as a team who learned that courage, not products, made our business succeed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了“我”和好友Maya、Jake精心筹备“FashionHut”手工摊位，却在Market Day当天遭遇冷场，面临300美元贷款偿还压力，原本内向的“我”鼓起勇气主动推销，最终成功盈利、收获成长的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“‘新计划。我们不能再等他们来找我们了。’我宣布。”可知，接下来可描写“我”克服内向，主动走进人群推销手工制品，凭借独特的手工设计和环保理念吸引学生，好友们配合“我”热情服务，摊位逐渐热闹起来。 ② 由第二段首句“终场铃声响起后，我们急切地清点着收入。”可知，接下来可描写三人紧张计数盈利、得知成功还清贷款并有所结余的喜悦，以及从中领悟到的道理。 2. 续写线索 提出主动推销的新计划——“我”克服内向走进人群推销——手工制品吸引学生、摊位热闹起来——Market Day结束后急切计数盈利——得知盈利达标、还清贷款——领悟创业成功的核心的道理 3.词类激活 行为类 ①抓：grab/seize ②靠近：approach/near ③颤抖：tremble/shake 情绪类 ①紧张的：tense/nervous ②坚定的：firm/determined ③快乐的：joyful/cheerful/pleasant 【点睛】【高分句型1】My voice was tense but firm as I approached the students, introducing our crafts proudly — candles in recycled jars, woven bracelets, and painted wooden keychains.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及现在分词introducing作状语） 【高分句型2】We realized the real reward was what we had discovered about ourselves.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句和what引导表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是高二英语模拟试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。How was the meal last night?
