A recent study conducted in Montreal found that places with the largest increase in honeybees kept by humans had the fewest wild bee species—with small bees, which are only able to fly shorter distances to find food, appearing to be especially at risk. “The honeybee has been promoted as the symbol of helping the environment and the variety of living species on the earth, and really it’s not that,” says Gail MacInnis, a researcher at Concordia University. “You would never start keeping chickens to help save wild bird species.” “Honeybees are among the most common insects in the world, but they aren’t native to many of the places where they are found,” says Sheila Colla, a professor at York University. “Honeybees are very successful invaders (入侵者),” Colla says. These bees can fly long distances and are able to effectively communicate with one another through dance language. Introducing honeybee hives to an area can be a problem for local wild bees, which often end up competing for the same food sources. Should we stop keeping bees in the cities then? Colla gives us an answer in some way. “There is room for it in cities. It’s just right now we’re not managing it very responsibly in certain places,” she says. It is suggested that cities and towns that allow beekeeping should have caps on the number of hives and require people to register their bee hives. Beekeepers also need to understand the responsibility they’re taking on. 21. Why does Gail MacInnis mention “keeping chickens”? A. To introduce a new topic. B. To show how to save wild birds. C. To make her idea easily understood. D. To share chicken-keeping knowledge. 22. What is the problem for the local wild bees when honeybee hives are introduced? A. Competition for food. B. Risk of being killed. C. Less communication. D. No habitat. 23. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Saving the honeybees. B. Building hives in cities. C. Making room for honeybees. D. Keeping honeybees responsibly. B People have believed for many years that horses can “smell fear,” and riders are often told to relax in order to keep their horse calm. Past studies have found that horses pick up human emotions from our facial expressions and voices. Recently, a team of researchers set out to see if horses can sense people’s emotions from smell alone. In the study, 30 people were asked to watch videos of happy scenes while cotton pads (棉花垫) under their arms collected their sweat. Then, with new pads under their arms, they watched a frightening film. The researchers then divided 43 horses into three groups. Each group wore muzzles (口套) over their nose and mouth with different pads: one with a pad of happy sweat, one with sweat from the frightened, and one with a clean pad. The team then tested the horses to see how they reacted to unexpected events, such as an umbrella being opened near them or an unfamiliar object being placed in front of them. Horses that wore the “fear” muzzle acted more frightened. Their hearts beat faster, they were more likely to startle (受惊), and they were less likely to be curious about the new object or approach humans. “The fearful smells from humans amplify the reactions of horses,” lead study author Plotine Jardat said. “The significance is that horses can smell how we feel, even if they can’t hear or see us.” The researchers hope that better understanding horses’ emotions can help people interact more positively with the animals and improve horse health and happiness. Stressed or frightened horses often react with behavior that can be dangerous, such as kicking or running away, so knowing the importance of remaining calm can also keep humans safer around these animals. 24. What does the recent study focus on? A. Whether horses can smell emotions. B. How horses recognize people by voice. C. How horses communicate with humans. D. Whether horses can read facial expressions. 25. Why are the cotton pads placed under the 30 people’s arms? A. To block unpleasant smells. B. To help them feel comfortable. C. To prevent them from sweating. D. To gather emotion-related sweat. 26. What does the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ruin. B. Cover. C. Control. D. Increase. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Calm riders keep both safer. B. Frightened horses run faster. C. Horses are easy to feel happy. D. People understand horses well. C Monkfish are low in calories and they are easy to cook. They can be cut into pieces, mixed with egg whites, cornflour and salt, and then put into boiling water for a few minutes. There is only one problem with monkfish: they are ugly. With their eyes sticking out and wide mouths full of sharp teeth, they are frightening. In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back. They are still usually sold without their heads, but the days of throwing them away are long gone. Japanese diners love the fatty liver; while Italians may still call them toad tails, that doesn’t stop them from eating the fish. People have been encouraged to eat more monkfish, as well as other unattractive creatures — in order to ensure the biodiversity of the ocean environment. There are more examples for sea animals going from “purposely avoided” to “willingly consumed”. In America, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners — a result of their abundance but also, no doubt, because they are difficult to eat and look frightening. Not until the late 19th century did they become fantastic dish. Today they are so desirable that Maine, where most American lobsters are caught, has the images of these creatures printed on many of its vehicles. Sometimes fashion goes the other way. Turtles were plentiful in early America, but in the 19th century they became fashionable: few foods were more recommended than turtle soup. Americans ate some species of turtle nearly to extinction. Yet today turtle-eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas. Among cooking choices, people prefer the rare and the beautiful one than the unattractive one. But such narrow-minded food choices can have bad results: some species may not survive human preference for them. Better to stare into monkfish’s eyes than to contribute to the permanent loss of a species. 28. How were monkfish treated in the Netherlands? A. They were abandoned by local fishermen. B. They were popular due to their fatty livers. C. They were called toad tails from time to time. D. They were considered a danger to the ecosystem. 29. Why are lobsters mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To stress its abundance in America. B. To make a comparison with monkfish. C. To prove prisoners used to be fed on seafood. D. To show people’s food habits keep changing. 30. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Turtle-eating has been out of date now. B. Turtles have completely disappeared in America. C. Turtles were purposely avoided among food choices. D. Turtle-eating was against fashion in the 19th century. 31. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To introduce rare undersea wildlife. B. To encourage people to eat seafood. C. To explain why people dislike monkfish. D. To call for the protection of biodiversity. D How do you study unexplored areas of the ocean and identify critical habitat for an endangered species? You include the animal for study in the scientific process. Australian scientists have formulated a clever solution to study hard-to-reach areas of the seafloor: they attached (把……固定在) cameras to sea lions. The resulting videos have given scientists new information about the endangered sea lions, and also about the seafloor. Australian sea lions are endangered and have seen population declines of over sixty percent in the last forty years. Researchers from the University of Adelaide fitted endangered Australian sea lions with cameras and tracking devices (跟踪仪器) to better understand where they spent their time and how they used different areas of the seafloor to gather food. The sea lions could cover large areas of the ocean floor quickly, and dive deeply to places humans can’t reach. The researchers used eight healthy females from two different groups of sea lions. They chose females because they would soon return to land to feed their young pups. That meant the scientists could easily get the cameras back. The eight sea lions traveled about 560 kilometers underwater, diving as deep as 110 meters below the surface. In all, the animals collected 89 hours of videos, letting the researchers see exactly what the animals saw. After reviewing the videos, researchers were surprised to learn the sea lions hunt for food in six distinct seafloor habitats and different sea lions like different kinds of food. The videos gave the team a good idea of the kinds of plants and animals living in each of those environments. Using AI and the information from the videos, the researchers came up with a tool that can predict (预测) what the seafloor is like. If the AI tool is given the sea’s temperature at the surface, and how far the location is from land, it can guess what the ocean floor will be like. And it’s correct 98% of the time. 32. What does the underlined word “formulated” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Made up. B. Set down C. Worked out. D. Taken over. 33. Why did the researchers choose females? A. They could offer feedback timely. B. They could travel a long distance. C. They could provide more accurate (精确的) information. D. They could collect larger amount of information. 34. What is the AI tool mentioned in the last paragraph used for? A. Working out the traveling distance. B. Monitoring the ocean temperatures. C. Gathering information about sea lions. D. Making predictions about the seafloor. 35. What would be the most suitable title for the text? A. Scientists Discover Ways to Study Sea Lions B. Sea Lions Are Found in Unexplored Areas C. Habitats for Sea Lions Are Being Observed D. Endangered Sea Lions Help Study the Seafloor 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。 Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___36___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air. ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each. ___37___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.” Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___38___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there. ___39___ Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades. In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim. Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say. Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds: “___40___ Just make sure to take beautiful memories of this area as well.” A. It’s the best souvenir option. B. It has become a popular vacation destination. C. Souvenirs have a long and fascinating history. D. These little items serve as reminders of their vacation. E. If someone wants to take some air home, that’s perfectly fine. F. The cans are marketed as “luxurious” souvenirs on the product website. G. This is not the first time canned air has been marketed to tourists, though. 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。 While playing at the Zed & Co Free-range Farms in Victoria, southeast Australia, the farmer’s daughter and her friends heard a strange noise. ____41____, they looked around until they realized that the noise was coming from under their feet.

As the group leader, I made a detailed plan with my teammates — Lily and Tom, and we spent our spare time making colourful brochures with clear sorting guides, preparing vivid posters painted with lovely cartoon patterns and practising our speeches carefully until we could explain the rules fluently. We were filled with ambition and expected to win the Best Green Activity Award of the school, which would bring great honor to our class and inspire more people to live an eco-friendly life. On the first day of the activity, we set up a stand decorated with green ribbons (丝带) in the busy community square. However, few residents stopped to listen to us; some even walked past quickly, their eyes glancing over our posters without any interest at all. Worse still, when we tried to explain waste sorting to an elderly lady passing by, she shook her head gently and said it was too troublesome to follow the complicated rules every day. Lily grew discouraged and lowered her head, suggesting we quit, while Tom grew impatient, raising his voice to blame the residents for their lack of environmental awareness. Tension rose quickly among our small group, and our green project, which we had prepared for weeks, seemed to fall apart at once. Just as we were quarrelling and packing up our materials in disappointment, a sudden strong wind blew away all our carefully-made brochures and posters across the square. Some papers even fell into a dirty pool, getting wet and torn beyond repair. I stared at the messy scene, my throat tight with sorrow — our efforts for green living seemed to totally make no difference. At that moment, a middle-aged woman in a volunteer vest (马甲) walked towards us, holding a pile of neat paper and a roll of tape. 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。 The woman smiled gently and told us she was a full-time community green volunteer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to her guidance, we restarted our project with a brand-new attitude. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一下学期期中考试 英语试卷 本试卷共13页，67小题，满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并认真核准条形码上的准考证号、姓名、考场号、座位号，在规定的位置贴好条形码。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡交回。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers mainly talking about?

B 【解析】 【原文】M: Karachi, Pakistan, is one of the hottest cities on the Earth. In June 2015, more than 1,000 people died there during a heat wave. “It was a terrible time,” Shahzad Qureshi said. “We needed to do something about it.” After the heat wave, Qureshi took action. He started Urban Forest. The group plants native trees in cities in Pakistan. Since 2015, Qureshi and his team have helped cool the air by planting 14 urban forests in Pakistan. Twelve are in Karachi. The trees also provide a habitat for a variety of animals and food for the community. And they create a shady spot where people can relax. In 2017, Qureshi helped plant an urban forest at Karachi Grammar School. First, he met with students there. He taught them about how trees help the environment. Then the students pitched in. They helped plant saplings in the schoolyard. “They were excited about the project,” Muneeza Shaikhli says. She’s a principal at Karachi Grammar School. “They themselves had been experiencing the high temperatures in the summer months.” The trees attract birds and colorful butterflies. Students go outside during science class to study the forest. “It’s like a library of native trees in front of the kids,” Qureshi says. “They can identify the native species and insects that are around. It’s a beautiful thing to see.” 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What is the probable relationship between the speakers? A. Workmates. B. Classmates. C. Teacher and student. 18. What does the man say about the school? A. It is a failure. B. It is old. C. It offers new equipment. 19. What does the man teach? A. Maths. B. English. C. Geography. 20. What does the woman mean? A. She can’t teach each class very well. B. She wants to teach in different schools. C. She helps to develop her class’s own culture. 【答案】17. A 18. B 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】W: Hello, Tom. How are you finding teaching here? M: I get the feeling that the school is old but successful. The buildings and equipment are all so old, but amazingly, the students seem happy. The school pays attention to the all-round development of students. It seems to offer a whole range of subjects, not just English and maths. W: I think that’s good because our school can bring together a mixture of teachers of different subjects. A geography teacher provides fresh ideas that you can use to teach your subject. M: I have chosen English. I’ve always found it a real eye-opener to talk to other English teachers, because people’s methods of teaching the same subject can be different. Actually, I think as a teacher, I should make sure I can do well in each class, but I can’t always do it. W: Each class develops its own culture, and not all teachers do well in each class. You just have to accept that you can’t teach every class well. I can’t either. M: Maybe you are right. 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If you think backyard and roof-top beehives (蜂箱) are helping save the bees, think again, experts say. A recent study conducted in Montreal found that places with the largest increase in honeybees kept by humans had the fewest wild bee species—with small bees, which are only able to fly shorter distances to find food, appearing to be especially at risk. “The honeybee has been promoted as the symbol of helping the environment and the variety of living species on the earth, and really it’s not that,” says Gail MacInnis, a researcher at Concordia University. “You would never start keeping chickens to help save wild bird species.” “Honeybees are among the most common insects in the world, but they aren’t native to many of the places where they are found,” says Sheila Colla, a professor at York University. “Honeybees are very successful invaders (入侵者),” Colla says. These bees can fly long distances and are able to effectively communicate with one another through dance language. Introducing honeybee hives to an area can be a problem for local wild bees, which often end up competing for the same food sources. Should we stop keeping bees in the cities then? Colla gives us an answer in some way. “There is room for it in cities. It’s just right now we’re not managing it very responsibly in certain places,” she says. It is suggested that cities and towns that allow beekeeping should have caps on the number of hives and require people to register their bee hives. Beekeepers also need to understand the responsibility they’re taking on. 21. Why does Gail MacInnis mention “keeping chickens”? A. To introduce a new topic. B. To show how to save wild birds. C. To make her idea easily understood. D. To share chicken-keeping knowledge. 22. What is the problem for the local wild bees when honeybee hives are introduced? A. Competition for food. B. Risk of being killed. C. Less communication. D. No habitat. 23. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Saving the honeybees. B. Building hives in cities. C. Making room for honeybees. D. Keeping honeybees responsibly. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项研究，人类饲养的蜜蜂数量增加最多的地方，野生蜜蜂种类却最少以及这种现象的原因，并且告诉人们要负责任地饲养蜜蜂。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A recent study conducted in Montreal found that places with the largest increase in honeybees kept by humans had the fewest wild bee species—with small bees, which are only able to fly shorter distances to find food, appearing to be especially at risk. (最近在蒙特利尔进行的一项研究发现，人类饲养的蜜蜂数量增加最多的地方，野生蜜蜂种类却最少——小型蜜蜂只能飞很短的距离去寻找食物，似乎特别危险。)”和第三段““The honeybee has been promoted as the symbol of helping the environment and the variety of living species on the earth, and really it’s not that,” says Gail MacInnis, a researcher at Concordia University. “You would never start keeping chickens to help save wild bird species. (康考迪亚大学的研究人员盖尔·麦金尼斯说：“蜜蜂一直被宣传为保护环境和地球上生物多样性的象征，实际上并非如此。”“你永远不会为了拯救野生鸟类而开始养鸡。”)”可知Gail MacInnis是在说明人类饲养的蜜蜂并不会让野生蜜蜂数量变多，由此推断Gail MacInnis提到养鸡是为了使她的想法易于理解。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Introducing honeybee hives to an area can be a problem for local wild bees, which often end up competing for the same food sources. (将蜂箱引入一个地区对当地的野生蜜蜂来说可能是一个问题，它们通常会争夺相同的食物来源。)”可知当引进蜂箱后，本地野蜂会遇到争夺食物的问题，故选A。 【23题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Should we stop keeping bees in the cities then? Colla gives us an answer in some way. “There is room for it in cities. It’s just right now we’re not managing it very responsibly in certain places,” she says. It is suggested that cities and towns that allow beekeeping should have caps on the number of hives and require people to register their bee hives. Beekeepers also need to understand the responsibility they’re taking on. (那么我们应该停止在城市里养蜜蜂吗?科拉在某种程度上给了我们一个答案。“城市里有它的空间。只是现在我们在某些地方的管理不够负责任。”她说。有人建议，允许养蜂的城镇应该对蜂箱数量设定上限，并要求人们对蜂箱进行登记。养蜂人也需要了解他们所承担的责任。)”可知，本段主要讲述可以在城市里养蜂，但是要负责任，故选D。 B People have believed for many years that horses can “smell fear,” and riders are often told to relax in order to keep their horse calm. Past studies have found that horses pick up human emotions from our facial expressions and voices. Recently, a team of researchers set out to see if horses can sense people’s emotions from smell alone. In the study, 30 people were asked to watch videos of happy scenes while cotton pads (棉花垫) under their arms collected their sweat. Then, with new pads under their arms, they watched a frightening film. The researchers then divided 43 horses into three groups. Each group wore muzzles (口套) over their nose and mouth with different pads: one with a pad of happy sweat, one with sweat from the frightened, and one with a clean pad. The team then tested the horses to see how they reacted to unexpected events, such as an umbrella being opened near them or an unfamiliar object being placed in front of them. Horses that wore the “fear” muzzle acted more frightened. Their hearts beat faster, they were more likely to startle (受惊), and they were less likely to be curious about the new object or approach humans. “The fearful smells from humans amplify the reactions of horses,” lead study author Plotine Jardat said. “The significance is that horses can smell how we feel, even if they can’t hear or see us.” The researchers hope that better understanding horses’ emotions can help people interact more positively with the animals and improve horse health and happiness. Stressed or frightened horses often react with behavior that can be dangerous, such as kicking or running away, so knowing the importance of remaining calm can also keep humans safer around these animals. 24. What does the recent study focus on? A. Whether horses can smell emotions. B. How horses recognize people by voice. C. How horses communicate with humans. D. Whether horses can read facial expressions. 25. Why are the cotton pads placed under the 30 people’s arms? A. To block unpleasant smells. B. To help them feel comfortable. C. To prevent them from sweating. D. To gather emotion-related sweat. 26. What does the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ruin. B. Cover. C. Control. D. Increase. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Calm riders keep both safer. B. Frightened horses run faster. C. Horses are easy to feel happy. D. People understand horses well. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍研究证实马能通过气味感知人类恐惧情绪，且该发现利于人马良性互动。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recently, a team of researchers set out to see if horses can sense people’s emotions from smell alone.(最近，一组研究人员着手研究马是否仅靠气味就能感知人类情绪)”可知，这项新研究的重点是马能否通过气味感知情绪。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the study, 30 people were asked to watch videos of happy scenes while cotton pads (棉花垫) under their arms collected their sweat. Then, with new pads under their arms, they watched a frightening film. The researchers then divided 43 horses into three groups. Each group wore muzzles (口套) over their nose and mouth with different pads: one with a pad of happy sweat, one with sweat from the frightened, and one with a clean pad.(在研究中，30名受试者被要求在腋下夹着棉花垫观看快乐场景的视频，以收集他们的汗水。之后换上新棉垫，他们又观看惊悚影片。研究人员将43匹马分为三组，给每一组马匹戴上口鼻套，套上分别放置不同棉垫：一组配有收集自情绪愉悦者的汗液棉垫，一组配有收集自受惊吓者的汗液棉垫，还有一组使用干净棉垫作为对照)”可知，在人们腋下放置棉花垫是为了收集不同情绪状态下的汗液。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Horses that wore the “fear” muzzle acted more frightened.(佩戴带有恐惧汗液垫片口套的马表现得更加恐惧)”和第四段中“The fearful smells from humans amplify the reactions of horses(人类散发的恐惧气味会amplify马匹的应激反应)”可知，人类的恐惧气味会让马的恐惧反应变强。由此可推知amplify意为“增强，加剧”。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Stressed or frightened horses often react with behavior that can be dangerous, such as kicking or running away, so knowing the importance of remaining calm can also keep humans safer around these animals.(紧张或受惊的马常会做出踢踹、逃窜等危险举动，因此懂得保持情绪平稳，也能让人们在马匹身旁时更加安全)”可推知，保持冷静的骑手能让人和马都更安全。 C Monkfish are low in calories and they are easy to cook. They can be cut into pieces, mixed with egg whites, cornflour and salt, and then put into boiling water for a few minutes. There is only one problem with monkfish: they are ugly. With their eyes sticking out and wide mouths full of sharp teeth, they are frightening. In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back. They are still usually sold without their heads, but the days of throwing them away are long gone. Japanese diners love the fatty liver; while Italians may still call them toad tails, that doesn’t stop them from eating the fish. People have been encouraged to eat more monkfish, as well as other unattractive creatures — in order to ensure the biodiversity of the ocean environment. There are more examples for sea animals going from “purposely avoided” to “willingly consumed”. In America, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners — a result of their abundance but also, no doubt, because they are difficult to eat and look frightening. Not until the late 19th century did they become fantastic dish. Today they are so desirable that Maine, where most American lobsters are caught, has the images of these creatures printed on many of its vehicles. Sometimes fashion goes the other way. Turtles were plentiful in early America, but in the 19th century they became fashionable: few foods were more recommended than turtle soup. Americans ate some species of turtle nearly to extinction. Yet today turtle-eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas. Among cooking choices, people prefer the rare and the beautiful one than the unattractive one. But such narrow-minded food choices can have bad results: some species may not survive human preference for them. Better to stare into monkfish’s eyes than to contribute to the permanent loss of a species. 28. How were monkfish treated in the Netherlands? A. They were abandoned by local fishermen. B. They were popular due to their fatty livers. C. They were called toad tails from time to time. D. They were considered a danger to the ecosystem. 29. Why are lobsters mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To stress its abundance in America. B. To make a comparison with monkfish. C. To prove prisoners used to be fed on seafood. D. To show people’s food habits keep changing. 30. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Turtle-eating has been out of date now. B. Turtles have completely disappeared in America. C. Turtles were purposely avoided among food choices. D. Turtle-eating was against fashion in the 19th century. 31. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To introduce rare undersea wildlife. B. To encourage people to eat seafood. C. To explain why people dislike monkfish. D. To call for the protection of biodiversity. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以安康鱼为例，说明海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”，这一做法是为了保护生物多样性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back.(在荷兰，捕获它们的渔民过去常常把它们扔回去)”可知，在荷兰，安康鱼被当地渔民遗弃。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“There are more examples for sea animals going from “purposely avoided” to “willingly consumed”. In America, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners—a result of their abundance but also, no doubt, because they are difficult to eat and look frightening. Not until the late 19th century did they become fantastic dish. Today they are so desirable that Maine, where most American lobsters are caught, has the images of these creatures printed on many of its vehicles.(有更多的例子表明，海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”。在美国，龙虾曾经被用来喂囚犯——这不仅是因为它们的数量多，而且毫无疑问，因为它们很难吃，而且看起来很吓人。直到19世纪后期，它们才成为美味佳肴。如今，它们是如此抢手，以至于缅因州——美国龙虾的主要捕捞地——在许多交通工具上都印上了这些生物的图像)”可推知，第三段提到了龙虾是为了显示人们的饮食习惯在不断变化。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Yet today turtle-eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas. (然而，今天吃乌龟与偏远和未开垦的地区联系更紧密)”可知，吃乌龟现在已经过时了。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“People have been encouraged to eat more monkfish, as well as other unattractive creatures—in order to ensure the biodiversity of the ocean environment.(为了确保海洋环境的生物多样性，人们被鼓励多吃安康鱼，以及其他没有吸引力的生物)”结合文章以安康鱼为例，说明海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”，这一做法是为了保护生物多样性。可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是呼吁保护生物多样性。故选D。 D How do you study unexplored areas of the ocean and identify critical habitat for an endangered species? You include the animal for study in the scientific process. Australian scientists have formulated a clever solution to study hard-to-reach areas of the seafloor: they attached (把……固定在) cameras to sea lions. The resulting videos have given scientists new information about the endangered sea lions, and also about the seafloor. Australian sea lions are endangered and have seen population declines of over sixty percent in the last forty years. Researchers from the University of Adelaide fitted endangered Australian sea lions with cameras and tracking devices (跟踪仪器) to better understand where they spent their time and how they used different areas of the seafloor to gather food. The sea lions could cover large areas of the ocean floor quickly, and dive deeply to places humans can’t reach. The researchers used eight healthy females from two different groups of sea lions. They chose females because they would soon return to land to feed their young pups. That meant the scientists could easily get the cameras back. The eight sea lions traveled about 560 kilometers underwater, diving as deep as 110 meters below the surface. In all, the animals collected 89 hours of videos, letting the researchers see exactly what the animals saw. After reviewing the videos, researchers were surprised to learn the sea lions hunt for food in six distinct seafloor habitats and different sea lions like different kinds of food. The videos gave the team a good idea of the kinds of plants and animals living in each of those environments. Using AI and the information from the videos, the researchers came up with a tool that can predict (预测) what the seafloor is like. If the AI tool is given the sea’s temperature at the surface, and how far the location is from land, it can guess what the ocean floor will be like. And it’s correct 98% of the time. 32. What does the underlined word “formulated” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Made up. B. Set down C. Worked out. D. Taken over. 33. Why did the researchers choose females? A. They could offer feedback timely. B. They could travel a long distance. C. They could provide more accurate (精确的) information. D. They could collect larger amount of information. 34. What is the AI tool mentioned in the last paragraph used for? A. Working out the traveling distance. B. Monitoring the ocean temperatures. C. Gathering information about sea lions. D. Making predictions about the seafloor. 35. What would be the most suitable title for the text? A. Scientists Discover Ways to Study Sea Lions B. Sea Lions Are Found in Unexplored Areas C. Habitats for Sea Lions Are Being Observed D. Endangered Sea Lions Help Study the Seafloor 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了澳大利亚科学家通过在濒危的澳大利亚海狮身上安装摄像头和跟踪仪器，利用海狮的活动来研究难以到达的海底区域，获取关于海狮和海底的新信息，并利用人工智能工具预测海底状况。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Australian scientists have formulated a clever solution to study hard-to-reach areas of the seafloor: they attached cameras to sea lions. (澳大利亚科学家formulated一个巧妙的办法来研究难以到达的海底区域：他们在海狮身上安装了摄像头。)”可知，科学家想出了在海狮身上安装摄像头这个办法，formulated在此处意为“想出，制定”，与worked out意思相近。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They chose females because they would soon return to land to feed their young pups. That meant the scientists could easily get the cameras back. (他们选择雌性海狮是因为它们很快就会回到陆地上喂养幼崽。这意味着科学家可以很容易地把摄像头拿回来。)”可知，选择雌性海狮是因为它们能及时返回陆地，科学家可以及时取回摄像头，获取反馈。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Using AI and the information from the videos, the researchers came up with a tool that can predict (预测) what the seafloor is like. (利用人工智能和视频中的信息，研究人员开发出了一种可以预测海底状况的工具。)”可知，人工智能工具用于预测海底状况。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Australian scientists have formulated a clever solution to study hard-to-reach areas of the seafloor: they attached cameras to sea lions. (澳大利亚科学家formulated一个巧妙的办法来研究难以到达的海底区域：他们在海狮身上安装了摄像头。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了澳大利亚科学家通过在濒危的澳大利亚海狮身上安装摄像头和跟踪仪器，利用海狮的活动来研究难以到达的海底区域，获取关于海狮和海底的新信息，并利用人工智能工具预测海底状况，所以D项“Endangered Sea Lions Help Study the Seafloor (濒危海狮帮助研究海底)”最适合作为文章标题。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选项。 Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___36___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air. ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each. ___37___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.” Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___38___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there. ___39___ Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades. In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim. Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say. Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds: “___40___ Just make sure to take beautiful memories of this area as well.” A. It’s the best souvenir option. B. It has become a popular vacation destination. C. Souvenirs have a long and fascinating history. D. These little items serve as reminders of their vacation. E. If someone wants to take some air home, that’s perfectly fine. F.

As the group leader, I made a detailed plan with my teammates — Lily and Tom, and we spent our spare time making colourful brochures with clear sorting guides, preparing vivid posters painted with lovely cartoon patterns and practising our speeches carefully until we could explain the rules fluently. We were filled with ambition and expected to win the Best Green Activity Award of the school, which would bring great honor to our class and inspire more people to live an eco-friendly life. On the first day of the activity, we set up a stand decorated with green ribbons (丝带) in the busy community square. However, few residents stopped to listen to us; some even walked past quickly, their eyes glancing over our posters without any interest at all. Worse still, when we tried to explain waste sorting to an elderly lady passing by, she shook her head gently and said it was too troublesome to follow the complicated rules every day. Lily grew discouraged and lowered her head, suggesting we quit, while Tom grew impatient, raising his voice to blame the residents for their lack of environmental awareness. Tension rose quickly among our small group, and our green project, which we had prepared for weeks, seemed to fall apart at once. Just as we were quarrelling and packing up our materials in disappointment, a sudden strong wind blew away all our carefully-made brochures and posters across the square. Some papers even fell into a dirty pool, getting wet and torn beyond repair. I stared at the messy scene, my throat tight with sorrow — our efforts for green living seemed to totally make no difference. At that moment, a middle-aged woman in a volunteer vest (马甲) walked towards us, holding a pile of neat paper and a roll of tape. 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。 The woman smiled gently and told us she was a full-time community green volunteer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to her guidance, we restarted our project with a brand-new attitude. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The woman smiled gently and told us she was a full-time community green volunteer. She comforted us patiently and said many residents were too busy to stop by, instead of lacking environmental awareness. She shared practical tips with us, such as talking with residents in a warm tone and using simple daily examples to explain sorting rules. She also helped us tidy up the messy materials and cheered us up not to give up easily. Her kind words and useful experience swept away our disappointment. Lily and Tom calmed down immediately and apologized to each other for their bad moods. We regained our confidence and decided to try new ways to carry out our project. Thanks to her guidance, we restarted our project with a brand-new attitude. We divided our work reasonably: I chatted warmly with passing residents, Lily showed easy-to-understand picture examples, and Tom helped sort rubbish on the spot. Gradually, more and more residents stopped to join us. The elderly lady even came back to learn carefully and promised to stick to waste sorting every day. Finally, our activity won wide praise in the community. Although we didn’t focus on the award any longer, we truly realized real honor lies in practical green efforts and sincere teamwork to warm the neighborhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以班级开展社区垃圾分类志愿活动为线索，讲述“我们”提前精心筹备活动，却在现场遭遇居民冷落、同伴争执、物料被大风损毁的困境，最后得到社区全职志愿者暖心帮助、重拾信心继续开展活动的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句内容可知，接下来可描写志愿者耐心安抚失落的“我们”，分析活动遇冷的真实原因，分享接地气的沟通技巧，帮忙整理凌乱物料，化解同伴矛盾、重振团队信心。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，接下来可描写“我们”合理分工、调整沟通方式，耐心向居民科普垃圾分类知识，打动过往居民主动参与，最终收获认可，领悟环保志愿活动的真正意义。 2. 续写线索 志愿者暖心安抚开导——传授实用志愿沟通技巧——团队和解重拾信心——分工协作优化活动方式——居民主动参与配合——收获认可，领悟环保初心与团队协作的意义 3.词类激活 行为类 ①消除：sweep away/remove/get rid of ②意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①安慰：comfort/soothe ②失望：disappointment/frustration 【点睛】【高分句型1】She comforted us patiently and said many residents were too busy to stop by, instead of lacking environmental awareness.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Although we didn’t focus on the award any longer, we truly realized real honor lies in practical green efforts and sincere teamwork to warm the neighborhood.（运用了although引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。听下面对话。每段对话后有一个小题，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。I tried an AI power story yesterday.
