Here are four standout sci-fi novels that provide perfect gateways into the genre. Show Us Who You Are Show Us Who You Are by Elle McNicoll presents a stimulating look at technology. When the main character, Cora, is given a chance to connect with her comatose (昏迷的) friend through a 3-D image, she sees it as a blessing. However, she soon uncovers the tech company’s dark secrets and dangerous agendas. This novel is more than a simple mystery; it’s an exploration of what it means to be human in a digital age and the importance of challenging powerful institutions. 5 Worlds Series For those who appreciate visual storytelling, the 5 Worlds Series by Mark Siegel and Alexis Siegel is a masterpiece. This great story, described as Star Wars meets The Last Airbender, follows Oona Lee and her companions as they race to light the beacons (灯塔) of five planets to save their universe from extinction. With amazing artwork, the series is a wild ride across unique worlds, featuring a determined heroine who must unlock her potential and learn to lead. Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone by Tae Keller is a powerful combination of sci-fi mystery and realistic fiction. The story begins when Mallory’s neighbor, an eager alien hunter, disappears. As Mallory investigates the truth using clues from a journal, the story explores deep themes of middle school. It’s a sensitive and tense exploration of how we treat those who are different and the secrets we keep from others and ourselves. When You Reach Me The Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a master class in complex storytelling. Set in the 1970s New York City, it follows sixth-grader Miranda as she receives mysterious notes that seem to predict the future. The novel brilliantly mixes elements of time travel with a touching coming-of-age story about friendship, family, and the connections that shape our lives, keeping readers engaged until the final, satisfying revelation. 21.What do Oona Lee and her companions try to save? A.Their universe. B.A comatose friend. C.A tech company. D.Middle school students. 22.Which book focuses on a character using a journal for investigation? A.Show Us Who You Are. B.5 Worlds Series. C.Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone. D.When You Reach Me. 23.What can we learn about When You Reach Me? A.It has amazing artwork. B.It wins the Newbery Medal. C.It focuses on alien hunting. D.It tells of a missing neighbor. B Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline. In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes — such as rays, skates, and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 24.What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Safe. B.Steady. C.Alarming. D.Declining. 25.Retention bans require fishermen to                   . A.avoid fishing in shark habitats B.release accidentally caught sharks C.use special equipment to protect sharks D.limit the number of sharks caught per year 26.Which sharks are most likely to die after being released? A.Deep-water species. B.Large species near the coast. C.Those living in shallow waters. D.Species with slow reproductive rates. 27.What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about? A.Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively. B.Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful. C.The retention bans need to be changed completely. D.Focusing only on young sharks is important. C Under the autumn sky of Tuohula Xinjiang, golden rice stalks sway gently. Ayinigeer Tuoheti, a 28-year-old computer science graduate, wanders through the fields, checking the ripening crop. Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family’s traditional rice business and the modern age. In 2020, Ayinigeer returned home to assist her father — who’d built a 1994 rice processing plant but his health weakened and struggled with business communications. She found the family’s work stuck in the backward reality: the ledger book, handwritten records, and carbon paper. She resolved to transform the business. First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. To secure high-quality rice, she partnered with over 120 households, who transferred the management rights of their land to her company. Her company provided seeds and training, bought harvests above market prices, and shared profits-boosting farmers’ incomes while ensuring premium raw materials. In 2023, she tried livestreaming on electronic sales platform. With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audience: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. Now, From March to September this year, they had 180,000 orders through livestreaming, with 7,000 on a single day-that’s nearly 35 tons of rice moving directly from their fields to households across China. The numbers tell the resulting. In early 2024, influencers from across China were reaching out to us, she said. “They wanted to partner with us because our product had proven appealing.” The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. Local farming is 98% mechanized, and a 1998 seed base (investing 1 million yuan yearly) develops high-quality varieties-including the seeds Ayinigeer uses. 28.What did Ayinigeer do first to improve the family business? A.She started livestreaming on Douyin. B.She modernized the operation system. C.She partnered with over 120 local households. D.She inspected crops personally. 29.Why could Ayinigeer’s sales model attract viewers? A.She offered very low rice prices. B.She used professional broadcasting equipment. C.She presented authentic rice production scenes. D.She accumulated many followers before livestreaming. 30.What can we infer about Tuohula’s rice? A.It is popular all over the world. B.Local natural conditions contributed to its popularity. C.It is only sold in southern Xinjiang. D.Its production cost is much lower than average. 31.Which is the most appropriate title? A.Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice B.Livestreaming Makes Rice Famous C.Graduate Succeeds in Rice Business D.Quality Rice Boosts Agriculture D Plastic has always been a double-edged sword — multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts (催化剂), and often produce impure results. Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. The team’s secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures — far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence. Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. While questions remain, this innovation marks a hopeful turn in humanity’s long battle with plastic waste. It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. 32.What is a key advantage of the new method of recycling plastics? A.Low costs. B.Simple processes. C.High security. D.Adjustable reaction. 33.What does the novel catalyst help with? A.Speeding up waste collection. B.Adjusting the operating temperature. C.Minimizing harmful byproducts. D.Turning plastics into basic chemicals. 34.How do scientists regard the method? A.A dead end. B.A starting point. C.A stepping stone. D.A definite answer. 35.What inspiration does the innovation bring to us? A.New views create possibilities. B.Human effort overcomes challenges. C.Close teamwork works wonders. D.Tough problems lead to innovations. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all know stress from work can follow us home, but what if it’s not just your partner or kids feeling its effect? A study by Mitropoulos and Andrukonis, published last week in Scientific Reports, uncovers a surprising yet deeply relatable finding: your job stress can “cross over” to your dog, particularly when you can’t stop thinking about work after hours.      36      That is to say, even your furry companion might be quietly suffering alongside you. The invisible link: when your stress becomes your dog’s Dogs are incredibly sensitive.      37      Therefore, it can be said that dogs are masters of emotional detection. Scientists have long known that dogs experience emotional contagion（感染）; in other words, they “catch” our feelings. Now, this study is one of the first to show that job-related stress, when paired with constant overthinking, can result in real behavioral stress responses in dogs. The most convincing finding? In the study, dogs whose owners reported high job stress and frequently focused on work showed more behavioral signs of stress, such as pacing, whining, or reduced playfulness.      38      It suggests our dogs may be more stressed than we realize. What can dog owners do? Manage your emotional clues. Dogs can sense human feelings easily. So try to be conscious of how you speak and move around them, especially during stressful times.      39     . Mindfulness practices—like meditation, deep breathing, or simply being present—help reduce work-related overthinking and allow for genuine relaxation with your dog.      40      If your job stress feels unmanageable, consider reaching out for help, whether from your employer, a therapist, or a stress management program. Caring for yourself is one of the best ways to care for your pet. A.Get support if you need it. B.The effects of stress on humans go further than we think. C.Turn off work notifications and fully engage with your dog. D.Gentle tones and relaxed body language can help calm your dog. E.However, owners in life often fail to recognize these stress behaviors. F.They can read our facial expressions and sense changes in tone and posture. G.It turns out our dogs share not only our homes, but also our emotional burdens. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 For more than five decades, he’s walked through the streets of Paris.

In 2016, they decided to kayak (划皮艇) the Rocks NationalLakeshore, a challenging route on Lake Superior, teibentrti tuo bobson l rast ouodern. On September 13, they loaded up on food and camping devices, climbed into their kayaks, and pushed off from a beach near the national park’s headquarters. They planned to return in a week. They moved through small waves and headed northeast. Soon the lakeshore’s trademark cliffs (悬崖) began to rise on their right. Away from the shore, the head wind grew to the forecasted 10 knots — and kept rising. Still, they never considered turning around. They had been rowing maybe 90 minutes when, quite suddenly, the waves grew to two metres and steepened. The wind rose to an intense 20 knots, putting them in danger of flipping over. “It went bad fast!” shouted Tolin, who was in the lead about 20 metres ahead of Sean. Meanwhile, the wind pushed them closer to the cliff, where the waves became even steeper and rolled them into the water. Sean managed to get back to kayak, holding onto it for stability, and then paddled using his free hand. But he couldn’t make any progress against the strong wind. “My arms are giving out.” Sean thought to himself, “I gotta call now.” Using a VHF radio clipped to his life jacket, Sean called: “Mayday, two kayakers stuck.” But the tall cliffs blocked the signal from reaching anyone. When he raised his head, his friend had disappeared from sight. The man yelled to his friend at the top of his lungs, but there’s no reply. Sean struggled until the waves finally pushed him away from the shoreline and farther out in the lake. Exhausted, he floated on his back and considered his options. Sean decided to turn downwind, towards the beach where they had launched that morning. It was 5 kilometers away. “I’m a swimmer.” Sean talked himself up and started kicking. 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。 Luckily, after about three hours, Sean saw the beach within reach. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team headed out immediately for Tolin. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 2025-2026学年下学期期中考试 高二 英语答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。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。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.B 【原文】M：I should really start turning in my homework on time.I lose so many points by being late. W：Is that why you never get the highest marks in class? I know you’re smarter than most of us. 2.C 【原文】M：Do I need a card to enter the building? W：Yes.You’ll get your card this afternoon.Now let me show you around and say hello to everyone.And then we’ll talk about your job duties. 3.A 【原文】M：IT Department. How can I assist you? W：My computer is giving me a lot of trouble. Could you help me with it，please? M：OK，I just need to check on a couple of things. 4.A 【原文】M: Miss Richardson, my daughter didn't sleep well last night. Will you give her some extra attention to and make sure she has a good short sleep in the afternoon? W: Don't worry, Mister Cruz, we take good care of all the little ones here. 5.B 【原文】W: Bill, I’m busy preparing meeting materials. I was wondering if you could help me translate this file. M: Is that urgent? I need to meet a client later. W: Yes. In that case, I’ll ask someone else for help. 第3节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 22 .5 分） 6.B 7.B 【原文】W: I’ve never liked the “melting pot” idea for multicultural societies. It suggests everyone should blend into one homogeneous culture, losing their distinctness. M: What’s wrong with aiming for unity? W: True unity shouldn’t require erasure. The “melting pot” historically often meant conforming to a dominant Anglo-Protestant norm in the US. A better metaphor is a “mosaic” or “tapestry” — where individual cultural pieces remain distinct but together create a beautiful, stronger whole. Diversity is the strength, not an ingredient to be melted away. M: So you value integration that preserves unique identities over assimilation? W: Exactly. Assimilation is about subtraction; integration is about addition and mutual enrichment. 8.C 9.B 【原文】W：Good morning，sir.Can I help you? M：Yes，I’ve booked a ticket for June 22nd to Swansea.I’d like to see if there’s an earlier flight available. W：What date do you have in mind? M：I’d prefer the 18th if possible. W：I’m sorry, there are no departures for the 18th.We have a flight leaving on the 15th and the 17th.Will either of these days work for you? M：The 17th would work better for me.Thank you. 10.C 11.A 12.B 【原文】W: You’re so lucky, Todd. You travel all over the world. I never leave Chicago! M: Yeah — but it’s hard work. I just practice, practice, practice and play tennis all the time. I don’t get time to see much. W: What about last year? Where did you go? Tell me about it. M: Well, in January I was in Melbourne for the Australian Open. It’s a beautiful city, sort of big. There’s a nice mixture of old and new buildings. January is their summer, so it was hot when I was there. W: And what’s Dubai like? When were you there? M: In February. We went from Australia to Dubai for the Dubai Tennis Open. Hot, very dry, very modern. Lots of really modern buildings, white buildings. An interesting place. I enjoyed it. W: And Paris! That’s where I want to go! What’s Paris like? M: Everything that you imagine! Very beautiful, wonderful old buildings but lots of interesting modern ones, too. And of course very, very romantic, especially in May. Maybe I can take you there sometime. 13.C 14.B 15.C 16.A 【原文】W: We are going to travel abroad during the summer vacation. Are you with us? M: It’s still a month away. Have you planned it already? W: Yes, Sophie and I have long wished to go to Thailand. We want to taste the fruits there. M: It makes my mouth water. By the way, I don’t have a passport to go to Thailand. W: What? You don’t have a passport? M: I have no plan of going abroad. So, do I still have time to apply? W: That’s pretty bad. Because you have to apply for a visa and the visa process is a little troublesome. You need a passport first. M: I can get my passport in two weeks and then I should be able to get a visa before summer vacation. Do you agree? W: God bless you. I will make some travel plans next week. M: Yes, we can also join a tour group. 17.C 18.A 19.A 20.C 【原文】M：Hi Susanna. I had an interview with Anderson High-tech. And they offered me the position of sales manager. I want to let you know before I make my decision. W：I’m sorry to hear that，Frank. But I appreciate you tell me before you accept the offer. M：I really enjoy my work here. I put in effort for five years to gain more experience. But there seems no hope of being promoted. W：What would help you decide to stay? M：I would consider staying if I could change my position. I would love working in this same department，but I would like to be doing something different. And they offered me 6% more than my present salary. W：When do you have to tell them your decision? M：They want me to respond by Friday. W：Let me see. I’ll talk to the Human Resources director，and let you know the result on Thursday. Can you wait until then? M：That will be too late. Wednesday will be better. W：Okay，no problem. I’m going to do everything I can to keep you on board. M：I appreciate what you’re doing for me. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 语篇解读：这是一篇应用文，介绍了四部以年轻女性为主角的科幻小说，分别概述了每本书的情节特点和阅读价值，旨在为高中读者提供科幻题材的入门推荐。 21.A【解析】细节理解题。根据5 Worlds Series部分中“This great story, described as Star Wars meets The Last Airbender, follows Oona Lee and her companions as they race to light the beacons (灯塔) of five planets to save their universe from extinction.” 可知，Oona Lee 和她的同伴们试图通过点亮五个星球的灯塔来拯救他们的宇宙免于灭绝。B 项昏迷的朋友、C 项科技公司、D 项中学生均与原文内容不符。由此可知，故选 A 项。 22.C【解析】细节理解题。根据Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone部分中“As Mallory investigates the truth using clues from a journal, the story explores deep themes of middle school” 可知，该书讲述了主人公 Mallory 利用日记中的线索调查真相的故事。A 项 Show Us Who You Are 涉及与昏迷朋友的连接，B 项 5 Worlds Series 涉及点亮灯塔，D 项 When You Reach Me 涉及神秘纸条。由此可知，故选 C 项。 23.B【解析】细节理解题。根据When You Reach Me部分中 “The Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a master class in complex storytelling” 可知，这本书曾荣获纽伯瑞奖（Newbery Medal）。A 项拥有精美的插图属于5 Worlds Series，C 项关注外星人狩猎、D 项讲述邻居失踪均属于 Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone。由此可知，故选 B 项。 语篇解读：本文是一篇科普说明文。文章指出鲨鱼因捕捞面临严重生存危机，分析了旨在保护鲨鱼的“留存禁令”的局限性，并强调需结合改进渔具、保护栖息地等多种综合措施，同时指出对软骨鱼类的保护研究尚存不足。 24.C【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段划线词所在句“Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities.”并结合下文“Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction.”可知，全球近三分之一的鲨鱼物种濒临灭绝，这显示了其死亡“速率”是“惊人的、令人担忧的”。“Alarming”意为“令人担忧的、惊人的”，符合语境。故选C。 25.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks.”可知，留存禁令是“要求渔民释放意外捕获的鲨鱼”。故选B。 26.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe.”可知，研究显示“放生后死亡率特别高的群体包括：体型较小的鲨鱼、深水物种以及需要不断游动呼吸的鲨鱼”。因此，“深水物种”是放生后最可能死亡的鲨鱼之一。故选A。 27.A【解析】段落大意题。通读第五段，结合文中 “retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures” 可知，本段表明鲨鱼留存禁令虽有作用，但还需搭配更换渔具、保护栖息地、限定捕捞数量等多元举措，才能真正有效保护鲨鱼。故选A。 语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了计算机专业毕业生Ayinigeer返乡创业，运用数字化技能改造家族传统稻米产业，通过直播电商带动农户增收，实现传统农业与现代科技融合的成功案例。 28.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段 “First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems.” 可知，她首先将业务流程电子化，实现了运营系统的现代化。A项“开始直播”发生在2023年，并非“first”；C项“与120户合作”是后续举措；D项“亲自检查作物”是日常行为，并非改革首步。由此可知，故选B项。 29.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段 “With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products... Their authenticity won audience” 可知，真实呈现稻米生产场景是吸引观众的关键。A项“低价”、B项“专业设备”、D项“已有粉丝”文中均未提及。由此可知，故选C项。 30.B【解析】推理判断题。根据末段 “The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic.” 可知，当地独特的自然条件造就了稻米的优良品质，是其受欢迎的根本原因。A项“全球畅销”夸大范围；C项“仅在南疆销售”与“across China”矛盾；D项“成本低”未提及。由此可知，故选B项。 31.A【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family’s traditional rice business and the modern age.”可知，文章围绕她运用数字技能（自动化系统、直播电商）激活传统稻米产业，体现了数字技能振兴家乡大米产业的主题。A项“数字技能振兴家乡稻米”精准概括了主旨。B项“直播使稻米出名”片面；C项“毕业生在稻米生意上成功”忽略了“数字赋能”这一关键；D项“优质稻米促进农业”偏离了“人物+技术”的主线。由此可知，故选A项。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文，介绍了一项中美科学家合作研发的新型塑料回收技术。该技术利用新型催化剂在中温条件下将塑料一步转化为可用烃类燃料，转化率达95%，几乎无有害副产物，为解决塑料污染提供了新思路。 32.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step.” 可知，研究人员发现了一种通过单一步骤将长塑料聚合物链分解为短烃分子的方法——“流程简单”。A 项低成本、C 项高安全性、D 项可调节反应在文中均未提及作为该新方法的核心优势。由此可知，故选 B 项。 33.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段 “Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours.” 可知，这种新型催化剂本质上是将塑料还原为可用的碳氢化合物链，即基本化学物质。A 项加速废物收集、B 项调节操作温度、C 项最小化有害副产物虽在文中有所涉及或作为结果提及，但催化剂的核心作用是转化塑料为碳氢化合物。由此可知，故选 D 项。 34.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段 “For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future.” 可知，科学家们认为这项创新并非终点，而是迈向更清洁未来的临时解决方案，即一个过渡性的垫脚石。A 项死胡同、B 项起点、D 项确切答案均与原文“not as an end point”及“temporary fix”的表述不符。由此可知，故选 C 项。 35.A【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段 “It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential.” 可知，这项创新表明，解决大问题的关键往往在于重新思考，将废物视为潜力而非垃圾，即新的视角能创造可能性。B 项人类努力克服挑战、C 项紧密合作创造奇迹、D 项难题催生创新均未能准确概括文末强调的“rethinking（重新思考）”这一核心启示。由此可知，故选 A 项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 语篇解读：本文为说明文，介绍一项研究发现：人类的工作压力会传递给宠物狗，并给出缓解压力、安抚宠物的相关建议。 36.G【解析】前文点明人的工作压力会转嫁到狗狗身上，后文又对这一观点加以阐释。G项指出狗狗不仅与我们朝夕相伴，还会分担情绪负担，起到承上启下的作用，上下文衔接自然，故选G项。 37.F【解析】上文说到狗狗感官十分敏锐，F项具体说明它们可以识别人的面部表情、察觉语气和肢体姿态的变化，清晰诠释了“敏感”的具体表现，且与后文“狗狗是情感感知高手”形成因果逻辑，行文通顺连贯，故选 F 项。 38.E【解析】原文提到，压力较大、时常思虑工作的主人，其狗狗会出现踱步、呜咽等一系列压力反应。E 项语意转折，说明主人通常难以发现狗狗的这些异常表现，进而引出后文“狗狗承受的压力远比我们想象的更多”，前后内容呼应，逻辑严谨，故选E项。 39.D【解析】本段围绕“把控自身情绪信号”展开，上文提醒人们在狗狗面前留意言谈举止。D项给出具体建议，说明轻柔的语气、放松的肢体状态可以安抚狗狗，紧密承接上文内容，贴合语段语境，故选D项。 40.A【解析】本题设空于段首，需充当段落主旨句。后文讲述若工作压力无法自行调节，可多方寻求帮助，同时指出善待自己也是关爱宠物的方式。A项精准概括段落主旨，总领下文，行文结构清晰，故选A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） 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了73岁的巴基斯坦裔法国报贩Ali Akbar五十多年来在巴黎街头卖报，成为城市文化的一部分，近日获颁法国国家功绩骑士勋章，他依靠人际互动而非强硬推销，坚守着日渐消失的传统行业。 41.B【解析】argument 争论；conversation 交谈；movement 移动；relationship 关系。根据后文“问候老朋友、谈论每日新闻头条”，可知，他主动与人攀谈。由此可知，故选 B 项。 42.C【解析】overlook 忽视；reject 拒绝；recognize 认可；challenge 挑战。根据后文“被授予法国国家功绩骑士勋章”，可知，他的努力得到了认可。由此可知，故选 C 项。 43.A【解析】originally 最初；secretly 秘密地；independently 独立地；apparently 显然地。根据后文“来自巴基斯坦”，可知，他最初来自巴基斯坦。由此可知，故选 A 项。 44.A【解析】distinguished 卓越的，著名的；common 普通的；typical 典型的；satisfying 令人满意的。根据前文“法国最高荣誉之一”，可知，这是法国最负盛名的荣誉之一。由此可知，故选 A 项。 45.D【解析】ensure 确保；ignore 忽视；mention 提到；highlight 强调，突出。根据后文“他每天漫步巴黎得到的快乐”，可知，他强调了这种快乐。由此可知，故选 D 项。 46.B【解析】money 金钱；love 爱；work 工作；luck 运气。根据后文“如果是为了钱，我可以做别的事”，可知，卖报是因为热爱。由此可知，故选 B 项。 47.B【解析】respond to 回应；take up 开始从事；refer to 提及；look for 寻找。根据后文“1973年到巴黎后”，可知，他开始从事卖报这一行。由此可知，故选 B 项。 48.C【解析】disappear 消失；approach 接近；pass 流逝；come 到来。固定搭配as the decades passed意为“随着几十年过去”，符合语境。由此可知，故选 C 项。 49.A【解析】change 改变；expand 扩张；recover 恢复；emerge 出现。根据后文“人们就是不买报纸了”，可知，报纸行业发生了巨大变化。由此可知，故选 A 项。 50.C【解析】visible 可见的；fantastic 极好的；digital 数字的；accessible 可进入的。根据后文“人们不买报纸”以及时代背景，可知，一切都数字化了。由此可知，故选 C 项。 51.D【解析】deny 否认；question 质疑；imagine 想象；acknowledge 承认。根据前文“人们不买报纸”以及后文“一个正在消失的行业的现实”，可知，他承认了这一现实。由此可知，故选 D 项。 52.B【解析】trick 把戏；joke 笑话；face 脸；profit 利润。根据后文“让人们笑”，可知，他努力讲笑话。由此可知，故选 B 项。 53.D【解析】life 生活；mind 头脑；eye 眼睛；pocket 口袋。根据前文“走进人们的心里”以及后文“而非口袋”，可知，他注重心灵而非金钱。由此可知，故选 D 项。 54.A【解析】forceful 强硬的；direct 直接的；random 随机的；passive 被动的。根据前文“依靠人际连接”，可知，他不采用强硬的销售技巧。由此可知，故选 A 项。 55.C【解析】wealth 财富；support 支持；energy 精力；time 时间。根据后文“退休得等到墓地”，可知，只要还有精力他就会继续。由此可知，故选 C 项。 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们工作观念的变化，指出21世纪职场人必须突破职业舒适区，通过持续学习新技能应对行业变革与自动化挑战。 56. graduation 【解析】考查名词。本空作from的宾语，用名词形式graduation“毕业”。故填graduation。 57. which 【解析】考查定语从句。本空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，故用关系代词which引导。故填which。 58. to follow 【解析】考查非谓语动词。intend to do sth.为固定短语，表示“打算做某事”，故此处用动词follow“沿着”的不定式，作宾语。故填to follow。 59. staying 【解析】考查非谓语动词。本空作of的宾语，用stay“逗留”的动名词作宾语。故填staying。 60.

With his last strength, he pulled and kicked against the crashing waves, his lungs burning and limbs numb. Collapsing onto the sand, he gasped for air, but he knew the clock was ticking. “I must hurry up to save Tolin!” he muttered. Dragging his trembling feet, he headed toward the park headquarters, shouting, “One man is drowning along the cliff! Help!” Rangers heard him and rushed him inside for treatment, calling for the rescue team at the same time. The rescue team headed out immediately for Tolin. A helicopter soared over the cliffs, its spotlight piercing through the rain. Suddenly, a faint whistle echoed — Tolin hung on to a rock, waving his arm. A rescuer on the rope approached him carefully, and then pulled him up aboard, wrapping him in a blanket. Minutes later, they took Tolin back to the headquarters to reunite with his friend. Sean held Tolin tight, tears streaming down his face. “Thank goodness you’ re fine,” Sean said, gripping his friend’s shoulders. Tolin nodded, “Your bravery and determination saved us.” 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
