Spending time in nature is good for our health and how we feel. Being in natural places like beaches, parks and forests can reduce stress and sadness, improve sleep quality, and lower the risk of illness, making us feel better. These benefits may explain why nature changes our experience of time. Our sense of time is influenced by our inner feelings and the outside world. Stress, worry and fear can make our sense of time become unclear. Being close to nature can calm our minds and clear our thoughts. It can balance our feelings and help us judge time properly. The calming effect of nature can fight stress and worry, giving us a much better feeling of time. The lack of opportunities to get close to nature during the COVID-19 pandemic might explain why people’s sense of time was in a terrible state during the stay-at-home period. For a short time, getting away from busy modern life can allow us to think over what is important and reduce time pressure. For a long time, time in nature can improve our memory and focus, helping us manage time better. However, it’s not easy for many people, especially those living in cities, to get to nature. Green places like trees and parks around towns are important for people to enjoy the good benefits of nature. If you can’t spend time in nature, you can still take control of your time. Track how you use your time each week to find out where time is wasted. Also, make some time rules, such as limiting your use of email and social media or leaving time for rest. This can help you feel that you are controlling your own time. 8. What makes people’s sense of time unclear according to the text? A. Poor sleep quality. B. Heavy work schedule. C. Being close to nature. D. Negative inner feelings. 9. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By comparing effects. B. By listing numbers. C. By explaining reasons. D. By quoting research findings. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the effect of green places? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Concerned. D. Unclear. 11. Which is the author’s advice on controlling time for people without access to nature? A. Stop using social media. B. Escape from busy city life. C. Leave time for checking emails. D. Track where time is wasted. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍大自然会影响人的时间感知，分析自然舒缓情绪、调节时间感受的作用，并给出无法亲近自然时把控时间的可行方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Our sense of time is influenced by our inner feelings and the outside world. Stress, worry and fear can make our sense of time become unclear.(我们的时间感受受内在情绪与外界环境影响。压力、担忧与恐惧会使人的时间感知变得模糊。)”可知，负面内在情绪会让人无法清晰感知时间。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “For a short time, getting away from busy modern life can allow us to think over what is important and reduce time pressure. For a long time, time in nature can improve our memory and focus, helping us manage time better.(短期远离繁忙现代生活，能让人思考重要事物、减轻时间压力；长期置身自然，可提升记忆力与专注力，更好地规划时间。)” 可知，作者通过对比短期、长期两种不同效果展开本段论述。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, it’s not easy for many people, especially those living in cities, to get to nature. Green places like trees and parks around towns are important for people to enjoy the good benefits of nature.(然而许多人尤其是城市居民很难接触自然，城镇周边树木、公园这类绿地对人们享受自然带来的益处十分重要。)”可知，作者认可绿地的重要价值，对此持支持态度。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If you can’t spend time in nature, you can still take control of your time. Track how you use your time each week to find out where time is wasted.(如果你无法走进自然，依旧可以掌控自己的时间。记录每周时间的使用情况，找出被浪费的时间。)”可知，作者给出的建议是记录时间浪费的去向。 D Aging, commonly considered natural, is closely related to various illnesses, physical weaknesses and even early death. To find biological secrets and improve human health, the Gorbunova-Seluanov Lab at the University of Rochester studies the processes that speed up aging among certain animals of different species. Led by Vera Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov, two professors of biology and medicine, the lab firmly believes that aging, which doesn’t happen by accident, is closely determined by specific functional genes (基因). They compare the ways of aging among different species to find good solutions to human aging. Graduate student Zack Vanderhoff focuses on bowhead whales — amazing creatures (over 200 years old), analyzing their unique genes to help humans enjoy longer and healthier lives in later life. In mouse experiments, adding bowhead whale genes obviously relieved aging-related illnesses and increased their daily activity, though it failed to make them live longer. The team has explored the clear connection between daily diet and how long they live. Surprisingly, in Japan and South Korea, residents enjoy world-leading long lives because they regularly eat brown seaweed. Rich in fucoidan (褐藻糖胶), which contains sugar, brown seaweed can help people keep their genes healthy. By making the protein (蛋白质) Sirtuin-6 active in function, fucoidan repairs damaged DNA, suppresses harmful gene regions and reduces age-related problems. Having gained good results from mouse tests, the lab is preparing to launch human studies in Singapore, with research papers to be published soon. Supported by national health research organizations, the lab keeps doing long-term research with the local medical center. By combining animal experiments with real-life observation, researchers explore treatments for age-related loss of memory and other illnesses. Young researchers get chances to design experiments freely, turn to leaders for help and work with medical experts. The lab hopes to slow aging progress and protect people from diseases caused by aging. 12. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. The lab’s research focus. B. Zack’s personal experience. C. Harm of accidental gene changes. D. Bowhead whales’ living habits. 13. What positive change happened to mice with the bowhead whale genes? A. A longer lifetime. B. Fewer age-related issues. C. Eating seaweed regularly. D. Improved ability to repair DNA. 14. What does the underlined word “suppresses” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ignores. B. Increases. C. Limits. D. Recognizes. 15. What can we infer from the passage? A. The lab has finished human studies. B. Young researchers lack chances. C. Sirtuin-6 helps fight the aging process. D. Aging diseases will be cured soon. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍罗切斯特大学实验室围绕衰老开展研究，通过弓头鲸基因与褐藻中的褐藻糖胶，探寻延缓衰老、改善老年健康的有效途径。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Led by Vera Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov, two professors of biology and medicine, the lab firmly believes that aging, which doesn’t happen by accident, is closely determined by specific functional genes (基因). They compare the ways of aging among different species to find good solutions to human aging. Graduate student Zack Vanderhoff focuses on bowhead whales — amazing creatures (over 200 years old), analyzing their unique genes to help humans enjoy longer and healthier lives in later life.(该实验室由生物与医学教授维拉·戈尔布诺娃、安德烈·塞卢阿诺夫牵头，实验室坚信衰老并非偶然，而是由特定功能基因密切决定。他们对比不同物种的衰老方式，寻找应对人类衰老的有效方案。研究生扎克·范德霍夫重点研究弓头鲸这种寿命超200年的神奇生物，分析其独特基因，助力人类拥有更长久健康的晚年生活。)”可知，第二段整体介绍实验室的研究核心与研究方向。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In mouse experiments, adding bowhead whale genes obviously relieved aging-related illnesses and increased their daily activity, though it failed to make them live longer.(在小鼠实验中，添加弓头鲸基因能明显缓解和衰老相关的疾病，提升小鼠日常活动量，但无法延长它们的寿命。)”可知，携带弓头鲸基因的小鼠减少了衰老相关病症。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“By making the protein (蛋白质) Sirtuin-6 active in function, fucoidan repairs damaged DNA, suppresses harmful gene regions and reduces age-related problems.(褐藻糖胶能激活蛋白质Sirtuin-6，修复受损DNA，suppresses有害基因区域，并减少衰老相关问题。)”可知，褐藻糖胶对有害基因区域起到约束、抑制作用，由此可推出suppresses意为限制、抑制，与limits意义相近。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Rich in fucoidan (褐藻糖胶), which contains sugar, brown seaweed can help people keep their genes healthy. By making the protein (蛋白质) Sirtuin-6 active in function, fucoidan repairs damaged DNA, suppresses harmful gene regions and reduces age-related problems.(褐藻富含含糖的褐藻糖胶，能够帮助人们维持基因健康。褐藻糖胶可激活蛋白质Sirtuin-6，修复受损DNA，抑制有害基因区域，减少衰老相关问题。)” 可知，Sirtuin-6能够对抗衰老相关问题，助力抵御衰老进程。 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。 In recent years, the electric vehicle (EV) (电动汽车) industry has seen obvious growth.

Oliver had always been fascinated by the “True North” and its amazing natural scenery. He had long dreamed of exploring the large wild land and experiencing the unique beauty of the Canadian Rockies. One morning, his uncle took him to a faraway area of the park to check on some ancient rock paintings left by early settlers, which were precious and important cultural relics. As they were hiking through the thick forest, the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Dark clouds gathered, and a heavy rain began to fall. “We need to find shelter, Oliver!” his uncle shouted over the wind. They found a small cave nearby and hurried inside. While waiting for the rain to stop, Oliver noticed something unusual near the cave entrance: a small mountain goat with its leg trapped between two large rocks. The poor animal looked tired and frightened, its eyes full of pain. Worry filled Oliver’s heart. He knew that in such terrible weather, the goat wouldn’t survive long without help. However, the rocks were too heavy for one person to move, and the ground was wet and slippery (滑的) from the rain. His uncle looked at the goat and then at the dark sky. “It’s dangerous to stay here too long. We should head back as soon as the rain slows down,” his uncle said worriedly. But Oliver couldn’t leave the goat behind. He remembered his school lessons about protecting nature and every living creature in it. 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。 Oliver looked at his uncle and said, “We can’t just leave it here.” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, with a loud crack, the rocks moved a little. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Oliver looked at his uncle and said, “We can’t just leave it here.” Seeing Oliver’s determined eyes, his uncle hesitated but finally nodded. Oliver got down on his knees, ignoring the cold rain wetting his clothes. He tried to comfort the trembling goat by patting it on the head gently while his uncle searched for a big branch to use as a tool. Together, they put all their strength into moving the rocks. “One, two, three, push” Oliver shouted. Their hands were covered in dirt, but neither of them thought of giving up. Finally, with a loud crack, the rocks moved a little. Seizing the opportunity, Oliver carefully pulled the goat’s leg out. To their relief, the leg was neither broken nor badly injured. The goat stood up with difficulty, turned to look at them as if saying thanks, and then slowly disappeared into the forest. By then, the rain had stopped, and a beautiful rainbow appeared over the Rockies. After watching the goat leave, Oliver realized the true beauty of nature lies in our kindness to every living soul in the wild — a lesson that would stay with him forever in the “True North”. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述奥利弗前往加拿大国家公园游玩，偶遇暴雨天气，在山洞旁发现一只腿被岩石卡住的山羊。不顾恶劣环境与潜在危险，他说服叔叔合力施救，最终成功解救山羊，领悟善待自然、敬畏生命真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写奥利弗坚持救下山羊，说服叔叔一同利用树枝工具，合力尝试挪开岩石。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写岩石松动，二人成功救出山羊，山羊安然离去，奥利弗收获深刻的人生感悟。 2.续写线索：坚持施救——叔叔应允——寻找工具——合力推石——成功救羊——山羊离去——感悟生命 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①犹豫：hesitate/waver ②搜寻：search for/look for 情绪类 ①颤抖的：trembling/shaking ②欣慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1] Oliver got down on his knees, ignoring the cold rain wetting his clothes.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] After watching the goat leave, Oliver realized the true beauty of nature lies in our kindness to every living soul in the wild.（运用了动名词短语作宾语以及省略that的宾语从句作realized的宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一下学期期末教学质量检测 英语试题 2026.7 （测试时间：120分钟 卷面总分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节；满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Every year, TIME honors outstanding young people as Kid of the Year. These talented kids and teenagers come from different areas, using their creative thinking and kindness to bring positive changes to society. Fifteen-year-old Heman Bekele was named TIME’s Kid of the Year. He showed great interest in science in early childhood. After seeing outdoor workers get hurt by strong sunlight, he decided to create something helpful. Finally, he invented a special kind of soap with safe medicine inside. It can greatly help prevent common skin cancer. Cheap and easy to buy, this soap will serve people from all social classes. With professional advice, he keeps doing lab experiments to perfect his great invention step by step. Dom Pecora is another warm-hearted teen. He learned bike repair skills from online videos. At first, he fixed bikes to earn money for his own dream mountain bike. Later, he used his extra money to buy new bikes for poor kids in need during the hard pandemic (疫情) days. He still runs his small business to help local people in his free time. Besides them, three more young role models shine brightly. Madhvi Chittoor devotes herself to fighting harmful chemicals and protecting public health. Jordan Sucato sets up a nonprofit group to provide protective boots for homeless dogs on hot roads. Keivonn Woodard, a deaf 11-year-old actor, wins wide respect with his excellent performance and helps people care more about groups with special needs. These young heroes face difficulties bravely and never give up their dreams. Their small but warm actions light up the whole world.

Being in natural places like beaches, parks and forests can reduce stress and sadness, improve sleep quality, and lower the risk of illness, making us feel better. These benefits may explain why nature changes our experience of time. Our sense of time is influenced by our inner feelings and the outside world. Stress, worry and fear can make our sense of time become unclear. Being close to nature can calm our minds and clear our thoughts. It can balance our feelings and help us judge time properly. The calming effect of nature can fight stress and worry, giving us a much better feeling of time. The lack of opportunities to get close to nature during the COVID-19 pandemic might explain why people’s sense of time was in a terrible state during the stay-at-home period. For a short time, getting away from busy modern life can allow us to think over what is important and reduce time pressure. For a long time, time in nature can improve our memory and focus, helping us manage time better. However, it’s not easy for many people, especially those living in cities, to get to nature. Green places like trees and parks around towns are important for people to enjoy the good benefits of nature. If you can’t spend time in nature, you can still take control of your time. Track how you use your time each week to find out where time is wasted. Also, make some time rules, such as limiting your use of email and social media or leaving time for rest. This can help you feel that you are controlling your own time. 8. What makes people’s sense of time unclear according to the text? A. Poor sleep quality. B. Heavy work schedule. C. Being close to nature. D. Negative inner feelings. 9. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By comparing effects. B. By listing numbers. C. By explaining reasons. D. By quoting research findings. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the effect of green places? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Concerned. D. Unclear. 11. Which is the author’s advice on controlling time for people without access to nature? A. Stop using social media. B. Escape from busy city life. C. Leave time for checking emails. D. Track where time is wasted. D Aging, commonly considered natural, is closely related to various illnesses, physical weaknesses and even early death. To find biological secrets and improve human health, the Gorbunova-Seluanov Lab at the University of Rochester studies the processes that speed up aging among certain animals of different species. Led by Vera Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov, two professors of biology and medicine, the lab firmly believes that aging, which doesn’t happen by accident, is closely determined by specific functional genes (基因). They compare the ways of aging among different species to find good solutions to human aging. Graduate student Zack Vanderhoff focuses on bowhead whales — amazing creatures (over 200 years old), analyzing their unique genes to help humans enjoy longer and healthier lives in later life. In mouse experiments, adding bowhead whale genes obviously relieved aging-related illnesses and increased their daily activity, though it failed to make them live longer. The team has explored the clear connection between daily diet and how long they live. Surprisingly, in Japan and South Korea, residents enjoy world-leading long lives because they regularly eat brown seaweed. Rich in fucoidan (褐藻糖胶), which contains sugar, brown seaweed can help people keep their genes healthy. By making the protein (蛋白质) Sirtuin-6 active in function, fucoidan repairs damaged DNA, suppresses harmful gene regions and reduces age-related problems. Having gained good results from mouse tests, the lab is preparing to launch human studies in Singapore, with research papers to be published soon. Supported by national health research organizations, the lab keeps doing long-term research with the local medical center. By combining animal experiments with real-life observation, researchers explore treatments for age-related loss of memory and other illnesses. Young researchers get chances to design experiments freely, turn to leaders for help and work with medical experts. The lab hopes to slow aging progress and protect people from diseases caused by aging. 12. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. The lab’s research focus. B. Zack’s personal experience. C. Harm of accidental gene changes. D. Bowhead whales’ living habits. 13. What positive change happened to mice with the bowhead whale genes? A. A longer lifetime. B. Fewer age-related issues. C. Eating seaweed regularly. D. Improved ability to repair DNA. 14. What does the underlined word “suppresses” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ignores. B. Increases. C. Limits. D. Recognizes. 15. What can we infer from the passage? A. The lab has finished human studies. B. Young researchers lack chances. C. Sirtuin-6 helps fight the aging process. D. Aging diseases will be cured soon. 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。 In recent years, the electric vehicle (EV) (电动汽车) industry has seen obvious growth.

Oliver had always been fascinated by the “True North” and its amazing natural scenery. He had long dreamed of exploring the large wild land and experiencing the unique beauty of the Canadian Rockies. One morning, his uncle took him to a faraway area of the park to check on some ancient rock paintings left by early settlers, which were precious and important cultural relics. As they were hiking through the thick forest, the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Dark clouds gathered, and a heavy rain began to fall. “We need to find shelter, Oliver!” his uncle shouted over the wind. They found a small cave nearby and hurried inside. While waiting for the rain to stop, Oliver noticed something unusual near the cave entrance: a small mountain goat with its leg trapped between two large rocks. The poor animal looked tired and frightened, its eyes full of pain. Worry filled Oliver’s heart. He knew that in such terrible weather, the goat wouldn’t survive long without help. However, the rocks were too heavy for one person to move, and the ground was wet and slippery (滑的) from the rain. His uncle looked at the goat and then at the dark sky. “It’s dangerous to stay here too long. We should head back as soon as the rain slows down,” his uncle said worriedly. But Oliver couldn’t leave the goat behind. He remembered his school lessons about protecting nature and every living creature in it. 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。 Oliver looked at his uncle and said, “We can’t just leave it here.” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, with a loud crack, the rocks moved a little. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
