Many people will ask themselves that question for the first time this year. Prices are falling, battery range is rising and mainstream brands are adding new EVs at a breakneck pace. Here are three things anybody seriously considering buying an EV should know: 1. The price to install a 240v charger Anybody who owns an electric vehicle needs a 240-volt charger at home. With one, you can recharge overnight, so you start every day with the equivalent of a full tank. Just a few years ago, home 240v EV chargers cost $2,500-$3,000, including installation, but prices have declined as competition grows with the number of EVs on the road. 2. The time it takes to charge About 80% of miles driven in EVs are powered by electricity charged at home, but you’ll need to charge elsewhere occasionally. That’s when charging time becomes a big deal, but how long it takes depends on a couple of factors. 3. Where to charge Good route-planning apps will help you find chargers on a road trip. “Most people have no idea how many public charging stations are within, say, a 10-or 15-mile radius (半径) because they’re small, people don’t look for them or even don’t know what to look for, and they’re rarely signposted,” said journalist John Voelcker, who has studied EVs and charging exhaustively. 4. On the horizon If an EV doesn’t meet your needs now, watch this space. They’re coming closer, but large numbers of gasoline vehicles will remain in production for years. Beyond that, companies will keep making spare parts for oil-burners for decades. 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Popular brands are introducing new EVs at an incredibly fast rate. B. An electric vehicle can’t run the same distance as a completely filled fuel vehicle. C. The price of installing a home EV charger has remained stable in the past few years. D. It’s quite easy to identify the public charging stations with the help of striking signposts. 2. What should the potential consumers do in the future? A. Make space for an EV. B. Find an alternative to EV. C. Give up the plan to purchase an EV. D. Keep an eye out for future developments. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To illustrate the factors charging time depends on. B. To offer advice on purchasing an electric vehicle. C. To look forward to the future of electric vehicles. D. To explain the reason for the falling prices of electric vehicles. B Early memories have the power to shape who you are. Unfortunately, in my life, many of my formative moments centered around my struggles with body image. For most of my life, I have been highly conscious of others’ perceptions of my appearance. Whenever I’m around someone I don’t know well, I actively use body language to make myself appear thinner. When I was in fourth grade, I remember asking my best friend, “Do you think I’m fat?” She responded, “No, of course not.” But her response didn’t comfort me. Since then, I have been vigilant of my body; I realized that the way I see myself isn’t the same as how others see me. Hearing people talk about weight gain as a negative has affected how I feel about myself. One friend used to tell me I’m on “the good side of plus-sized.” All it does is tell me that I’m overweight. In middle school, I felt like I had to prove to my friends that I was active and healthy. And even today, I worry over normal weight changes, all to try and avoid people sharing their “concerns” with my size. Discussing body image is difficult. What I have found is that being allowed to speak openly without judgment builds my self-confidence, because I feel that my voice is being heard. I am beginning to listen to my body and understand how it works. I hope to stop overanalyzing and build confidence — not through a number on the scale, but through self-acceptance. 4. What does the author realize after talking to her best friend? A. Her friend truly understood her worries. B. She needed to lose weight immediately. C. Her self-image differed from others’ views. D. Her appearance was objectively unattractive. 5. What does the underlined word vigilant mean in paragraph 2? A. Slightly conscious. B. Extremely aware. C. Completely confident. D. Comfortably familiar. 6. How did her friend’s words “the good side of plus-sized” affect the author? A. It confirmed her fear of being overweight. B. It provided comfort about her appearance. C. It motivated her to exercise more regularly. D. It helped her to understand body positivity. 7. What is the main message of the passage? A. Social approval determines personal worth. B. Childhood experiences cannot be overcome. C. Weight loss should be the primary health goal. D. Self-acceptance matters more than appearance. C As night falls in the rainforest, orangutans (猩猩) climb high into the treetops to build tree nests (巢). These carefully constructed beds provide warmth, comfort, and protection against natural enemies and mosquitoes. Scientists have long been curious about how young orangutans learn such a complex skill. Recent research shows that they learn it through observation and practice — a process known as observational social learning. Nest-building is essential for orangutan survival. It is neither purely inborn nor quickly mastered. Constructing a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decision-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests are especially well-designed, often featuring linings, pillows, and even roofs. This makes nest-building a challenging task. Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age. Their first attempts are often unstable and poorly constructed. Over the next four to five years, they gradually improve their skills by watching their mothers and practicing repeatedly. By the time they are six or seven years old, they can build perfect nests. The study of orangutan nest-building provides valuable insights into animal intelligence and the evolution of human cognition. It demonstrates that complex skills can be transmitted culturally across generations, a trait once thought to be uniquely human. 8. Why do orangutans build tree nests? A. To store food. B. For warmth, comfort, and protection. C. To play with other orangutans. D. To practice their climbing skills. 9. How do young orangutans learn to build nests? A. They are born with the skill. B. They learn quickly in a few weeks. C. Through observation and practice. D. They are taught by their fathers. 10. At what age do orangutans typically become skilled at building nests? A. Six months old. B. One year old. C. Four to five years old. D. Six to seven years old. 11. What does the study of orangutan nest-building suggest? A. Only humans can learn complex skills. B. Animals can transmit skills culturally. C. Nest-building is purely instinctual. D. Orangutans are the smartest animals. D When Lake Palcacocha, a glacial (冰山的) lake in Peru, suddenly burst in 1941, releasing 8 to 10 million cubic meters of water, the resulting flood killed an estimated 6,000 people, and the water destroyed about a third of the town Huaraz 23 kilometers away. “That town has been rebuilt in the same location, and now it’s more populous. That’s particularly scary,” says Robinson, a disaster risk specialist in New Zealand. This example shows how the danger from such glacial lake outburst floods (or GLOFs) isn’t just a physical disaster, but varies with the local population level and the availability of government support in the region. Robinson and his colleagues have used satellite data to identify 1,089 river basins containing glacial lakes globally. As the team reported in Nature Communications, they found that about 15 million people worldwide are exposed to potential GLOF impacts. The high mountain regions of the Himalayas are well known for GLOFs, but the team found similar dangers in the Andes, although there are relatively fewer studies of that region. And then there’s Bhutan, where the number of people who would be affected by a GLOF is low compared with larger countries, but it’s a high percentage of the population. “The way to think about that is, if you have a GLOF, how many people have you got to respond? In Bhutan, you could have a single GLOF that affects a large proportion of the country,” Robinson says. GLOFs are tightly linked to climate change. But as glaciers recede, growing populations move closer to them. Restricting climate change will help slow the growth of glacial lakes, but each location varies in geology and politics, requiring a different combination of early warning systems, engineering solutions, and land-use planning. “There’s no single solution, and what is appropriate in one location may not work in another,” Robinson says. His team’s goal is to help focus research efforts on the most potentially dangerous glacial lakes, and to show that those lakes won’t burst. 12. What does Robinson think especially scary? A. A glacial lake will be a popular destination. B. Government support worsens GLOF effects. C. Huaraz has been rebuilt in its original place. D. The burst of Lake Palcacocha can’t be predicted. 13. How does Bhutan differ from larger countries in case of a GLOF burst? A. A large percentage of the population will be affected. B. The government is ready to make timely response to it. C. Many studies and predictions have been made about it. D. People are usually relocated in a safe place after a burst. 14. What does the underlined word “recede” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Continue. B. Decrease. C. Clear. D. Accumulate. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. GLOFs Form a Threat to Human Life B. Men React Actively to GLOF Bursts C. Glacial Lakes Face Mixed Solutions D. Researchers Hold Back GLOF Bursts 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。 Reducing Food Loss and Waste About 40% of all food produced globally by weight is wasted between farm and fork. That 40% could feed every food-insecure person three full meals a day, every day, for a year — with leftovers. There used to be a view that food waste, which happens at the consumer level, tended to be more of a developed country problem while food loss, which can arise from issues in farming and supply chains, was a greater problem in developing countries. ____16____ Work by the UN Environment Programme shows that food waste occurs at roughly the same level in middle-income countries as in high-income countries. ____17____ However, there is a reasonable amount of information to back up this conclusion. Similarly, recent work by the World Wide Fund for Nature concluded that food loss on farms is a problem in high-income countries as well as middle- and lower-income countries. Reducing food loss and waste generates benefits for economies, for businesses and consumers, for human health and for the environment. Project Drawdown (减排) has listed reducing food loss and waste as the single-best strategy for reducing emissions and fighting the climate crisis. ____18____ Reducing consumer food waste by even 20%-25% by 2030 could save the world an estimated $120-$300 billion per year. ____19____ By consuming more of what they purchase, households can reduce their overall spending on food. ____20____ Some strategies include writing a shopping list, planning meals so that when you go shopping you know what and how much you need, understanding the difference between use-by and best-by date labels, making sure your fridge is set to the suitable temperature, understanding how best to store different foods and making the most of your freezer for leftovers. A. Good-quality data is still limited. B. But recent research has shown this isn’t true. C. Households may find it hard to reduce food waste. D. These savings play out on an individual level as well as a systemic one. E. Because up to 10% of global emissions result from food loss and waste. F. Reducing food waste can also help save a lot of money for families. G. Households can reduce food waste by focusing on smart shopping and food storage. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Glen Edwards became a hero when he rescued a construction worker trapped on the top of a 16-story burning building.

To encourage him, his friends bought him a guide dog named Cooper. Benjamin admitted the dog made all the difference. He regained some independence such as walking through the park. Benjamin’s friend, Natalie, was singing in a performance at the local concert hall, which was an excellent opportunity for her. Benjamin hadn’t expected to go, but Natalie wanted him there and mentioned some of their friends would be present too. So he put on his nice suit, grabbed Cooper, and set out. Benjamin reached the hall a bit late. He decided to go to his friends later and sit with his dog in the closest row he could sense. He knew at least two people were sitting in the same row. “Oh! Who brings a dog to the nice concert hall?” Benjamin heard a woman complain. Maybe she didn’t notice his really black glasses and didn’t understand why he needed a dog. “Ada, he’s blind. It’s his service dog,” her husband replied. Natalie took the stage. Although Benjamin couldn’t see her, he knew she looked beautiful. Meanwhile, the woman named Ada continued complaining about Cooper. Benjamin was about to be angry. She had known he was blind. Worst of all, she was interrupting his friend’s concert. Benjamin decided he would leave as soon as Natalie finished her song. However, as the song ended, Natalie began to address the audience. “Thank you, everyone. The next song is for one special friend in particular, Benjamin, “Natalie said, looking in Benjamin’s direction and Benjamin could hear the emotions in her voice.” You sacrificed (牺牲) so much for our country, and you are our hero. I do hope the next song brings you happiness and shows you the wonderful world.” Benjamin felt tears falling from his eyes. Cooper rested its head on his knee, comforting him as Natalie belted out a beautiful song. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 To Benjamin’s shock, the woman kept quiet the entire time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ada, with her husband, approached when Benjamin and his friends chatted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 湖南省株洲市第十三中学高二下学期期末考试试题 英语 满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 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 Is an electric vehicle right for you?

And then there’s Bhutan, where the number of people who would be affected by a GLOF is low compared with larger countries, but it’s a high percentage of the population. “The way to think about that is, if you have a GLOF, how many people have you got to respond? In Bhutan, you could have a single GLOF that affects a large proportion of the country,” Robinson says. GLOFs are tightly linked to climate change. But as glaciers recede, growing populations move closer to them. Restricting climate change will help slow the growth of glacial lakes, but each location varies in geology and politics, requiring a different combination of early warning systems, engineering solutions, and land-use planning. “There’s no single solution, and what is appropriate in one location may not work in another,” Robinson says. His team’s goal is to help focus research efforts on the most potentially dangerous glacial lakes, and to show that those lakes won’t burst. 12. What does Robinson think especially scary? A. A glacial lake will be a popular destination. B. Government support worsens GLOF effects. C. Huaraz has been rebuilt in its original place. D. The burst of Lake Palcacocha can’t be predicted. 13. How does Bhutan differ from larger countries in case of a GLOF burst? A. A large percentage of the population will be affected. B. The government is ready to make timely response to it. C. Many studies and predictions have been made about it. D. People are usually relocated in a safe place after a burst. 14. What does the underlined word “recede” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Continue. B. Decrease. C. Clear. D. Accumulate. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. GLOFs Form a Threat to Human Life B. Men React Actively to GLOF Bursts C. Glacial Lakes Face Mixed Solutions D. Researchers Hold Back GLOF Bursts 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，GLOF，即冰川湖溃决洪水，对人类生命造成很大威胁。文章对此进行了介绍。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“When Lake Palcacocha, a glacial (冰山的) lake in Peru, suddenly burst in 1941, releasing 8 to 10 million cubic meters of water, the resulting flood killed an estimated 6,000 people, and the water destroyed about a third of the town Huaraz 23 kilometers away.(1941年，秘鲁的冰川湖帕尔卡科查湖突然决堤，释放出800万至1000万立方米的水，由此产生的洪水造成约6000人死亡，洪水摧毁了23公里外的瓦拉斯镇约三分之一的土地。)”和第二句中的“That town has been rebuilt in the same location, and now it’s more populous. That’s particularly scary(那个城镇在同一地点重建，现在人口更多了。这特别可怕)”可知，瓦拉斯在原来的地方重建这一点让罗宾逊觉得很可怕。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“And then there’s Bhutan, where the number of people who would be affected by a GLOF is low compared with larger countries, but it’s a high percentage of the population.(然后是不丹，与大国相比，不丹受GLOF影响的人数较少，但占人口的比例很高。)”可知，不丹与比较大的国家相比，如果GLOF爆发受影响的人数占人口的比例很高。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句中的“growing populations move closer to them(不断增长的人口向它们靠近)”和第三句中的“Restricting climate change will help slow the growth of glacial lakes(限制气候变化将有助于减缓冰川湖的增长)”可知，此处是指随着冰川消退，所以recede意为“减少，消退”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“As the team reported in Nature Communications, they found that about 15 million people worldwide are exposed to potential GLOF impacts.(正如研究小组在《自然通讯》上报告的那样，他们发现全球约有1500万人受到潜在的GLOF影响。)”可知，文章主要是讲GLOF对人类生命构成威胁。故选A。 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。 Reducing Food Loss and Waste About 40% of all food produced globally by weight is wasted between farm and fork. That 40% could feed every food-insecure person three full meals a day, every day, for a year — with leftovers. There used to be a view that food waste, which happens at the consumer level, tended to be more of a developed country problem while food loss, which can arise from issues in farming and supply chains, was a greater problem in developing countries. ____16____ Work by the UN Environment Programme shows that food waste occurs at roughly the same level in middle-income countries as in high-income countries. ____17____ However, there is a reasonable amount of information to back up this conclusion. Similarly, recent work by the World Wide Fund for Nature concluded that food loss on farms is a problem in high-income countries as well as middle- and lower-income countries. Reducing food loss and waste generates benefits for economies, for businesses and consumers, for human health and for the environment. Project Drawdown (减排) has listed reducing food loss and waste as the single-best strategy for reducing emissions and fighting the climate crisis. ____18____ Reducing consumer food waste by even 20%-25% by 2030 could save the world an estimated $120-$300 billion per year. ____19____ By consuming more of what they purchase, households can reduce their overall spending on food. ____20____ Some strategies include writing a shopping list, planning meals so that when you go shopping you know what and how much you need, understanding the difference between use-by and best-by date labels, making sure your fridge is set to the suitable temperature, understanding how best to store different foods and making the most of your freezer for leftovers. A. Good-quality data is still limited. B. But recent research has shown this isn’t true. C. Households may find it hard to reduce food waste. D. These savings play out on an individual level as well as a systemic one. E. Because up to 10% of global emissions result from food loss and waste. F. Reducing food waste can also help save a lot of money for families. G. Households can reduce food waste by focusing on smart shopping and food storage. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. E 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了减少食物损失和浪费的重要性、好处以及家庭减少食物浪费的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“There used to be a view that food waste, which happens at the consumer level, tended to be more of a developed country problem while food loss, which can arise from issues in farming and supply chains, was a greater problem in developing countries. (过去有一种观点认为，发生在消费者层面的食物浪费往往更像是发达国家的问题，而可能由农业和供应链问题引起的食物损失则是发展中国家更大的问题。)”说明过去对于食物浪费和食物损失的看法。空处和前文为转折关系，说明这种看法是不正确的。所以B项“但最近的研究表明事实并非如此。”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“Work by the UN Environment Programme shows that food waste occurs at roughly the same level in middle-income countries as in high-income countries. (联合国环境规划署的工作表明，中等收入国家的食物浪费水平与高收入国家大致相同。)”说明食物浪费在不同收入国家的情况。下文“However, there is a reasonable amount of information to back up this conclusion. Similarly, recent work by the World Wide Fund For Nature concluded that food loss on farms is a problem in high-income countries as well as middle- and lower-income countries. (然而，有相当多的信息支持这一结论。同样，世界自然基金会最近的研究也得出结论，高收入国家以及中低收入国家的农场都存在粮食损失问题。)”说明有相当多信息支持这一结论，空处与之形成让步关系，说明关于食物浪费的数据情况。A项“高质量的数据仍然有限。”符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“Project Drawdown (减排) has listed reducing food loss and waste as the single-best strategy for reducing emissions and fighting the climate crisis. (减排项目将减少食物损失和浪费列为减少排放和应对气候危机的最佳单一策略。)”说明减少食物损失和浪费是应对气候危机的最佳策略。空处承接上文，说明原因。E项“因为全球多达10%的排放来自食物损失和浪费。”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“Reducing consumer food waste by even 20%-25% by 2030 could save the world an estimated 120− 300 billion per year. (到2030年，即使将消费者食物浪费减少20%-25%，每年也可为全世界节省约1200亿至3000亿美元。)”说明减少食物浪费可以节省很多钱。下文“By consuming more of what they purchase, households can reduce their overall spending on food. (家庭通过消耗更多所购买的商品，可以减少其在食品上的总体支出。)”说明节省体现在个体与系统两方面。空处承上启下，说明节省体现在个体与系统两方面。D项“这些节省在个人层面和系统层面都有体现。”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 下文“Some strategies include writing a shopping list, planning meals so that when you go shopping you know what and how much you need, understanding the difference between use-by and best-by date labels, making sure your fridge is set to the suitable temperature, understanding how best to store different foods and making the most of your freezer for leftovers. (一些策略包括写购物清单，计划用餐，这样当你购物时你就知道你需要什么和需要多少，了解使用日期和最佳日期的区别，确保你的冰箱设置在合适的温度，了解如何最好地储存不同的食物，并充分利用你的冰箱来存放剩菜。)”说明家庭减少食物浪费的一些策略。空处位于段首，应总领下文。G项“家庭可以通过注重智能购物和食物储存来减少食物浪费。”符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Glen Edwards became a hero when he rescued a construction worker trapped on the top of a 16-story burning building.

To encourage him, his friends bought him a guide dog named Cooper. Benjamin admitted the dog made all the difference. He regained some independence such as walking through the park. Benjamin’s friend, Natalie, was singing in a performance at the local concert hall, which was an excellent opportunity for her. Benjamin hadn’t expected to go, but Natalie wanted him there and mentioned some of their friends would be present too. So he put on his nice suit, grabbed Cooper, and set out. Benjamin reached the hall a bit late. He decided to go to his friends later and sit with his dog in the closest row he could sense. He knew at least two people were sitting in the same row. “Oh! Who brings a dog to the nice concert hall?” Benjamin heard a woman complain. Maybe she didn’t notice his really black glasses and didn’t understand why he needed a dog. “Ada, he’s blind. It’s his service dog,” her husband replied. Natalie took the stage. Although Benjamin couldn’t see her, he knew she looked beautiful. Meanwhile, the woman named Ada continued complaining about Cooper. Benjamin was about to be angry. She had known he was blind. Worst of all, she was interrupting his friend’s concert. Benjamin decided he would leave as soon as Natalie finished her song. However, as the song ended, Natalie began to address the audience. “Thank you, everyone. The next song is for one special friend in particular, Benjamin, “Natalie said, looking in Benjamin’s direction and Benjamin could hear the emotions in her voice.” You sacrificed (牺牲) so much for our country, and you are our hero. I do hope the next song brings you happiness and shows you the wonderful world.” Benjamin felt tears falling from his eyes. Cooper rested its head on his knee, comforting him as Natalie belted out a beautiful song. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 To Benjamin’s shock, the woman kept quiet the entire time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ada, with her husband, approached when Benjamin and his friends chatted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 To Benjamin’s shock, the woman kept quiet the entire time. He decided to stay. After all, his early departure would let Natalie down. With beautiful songs winding in the ears, the concert finished. Benjamin’s friends approached Benjamin, greeting him. Natalie soon came out to greet the group, and they all congratulated her. Everyone was laughing and discussing the great time, and no one made special mention of Benjamin or his disability. It was the rare time he felt a sense of normality in years. He hoped there would be many more. Ada, with her husband, approached when Benjamin and his friends chatted. She wanted to apologize to Benjamin. “I’m sorry. I’m not used to dogs being in places like this,” she said, looking embarrassed. “No worries. Just... don’t judge others before knowing what they’re experiencing,” Benjamin responded quickly before turning his attention back to his friends.
