He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources — human and natural — upon which the industry is ultimately built”. There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these sites became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. 1. What can we learn about Castel del Monte? A. It was built to enjoy the view. B. It has become a hot tourist spot. C. It has to make way for a shopping mall. D. It failed to win UNESCO designation in 1996. 2. Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cuss” in paragraph 2? A. Drawback. B. Promise. C. Solution. D. Chance. 3. How does the author support King’s words in the last paragraph? A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 4. Which of the following statements may Joseph King agree with? A. UNESCO designation needs follow-up preservation. B. UNESCO turns unknown sites into tourist attractions. C. Tourism offers financial rewards but also posing threats. D. Africa has balanced heritage preservation and urban development. Geothermal (地热的) energy offers constant, clean power with very little land use, making it ideal for Indonesia and the Philippines. These nations possess huge geothermal potential due to their volcanic locations on the seismically (地震地) active Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where heat naturally rises close to the surface. Indonesia and the Philippines rank second and third globally in geothermal use but access only a small amount of their reserves. Indonesia makes use of less than 10% of its potential, supplying just 6% of its power. The Philippines has developed about 8% of its capacity, making geothermal energy its largest renewable source at 14.6% of energy use. Both countries aim to expand significantly: Indonesia targets geothermal energy as its second-largest renewable source by 2030, while the Philippines plans projects adding nearly 1.5 gigawatts. The major challenge is high initial costs and risks, especially during the expensive exploratory drilling phase needed to confirm suitable sites. “Developers cannot take 100% of the exploration risk themselves,” explains Shigeru Yamamura of the Asian Development Bank. “Climate finance for geothermal energy in Southeast Asia remains limited, accounting for only 9% of the ASEAN’s (Association of Southeast Asian Nations’) renewable funding,” he adds. Solutions include integrated finance (combining public/private funds, donations and green bonds) and policy reforms. Indonesia is simplifying permits and improving investment returns, while the Philippines is carrying out targeted green energy sales and smart power network plans to attract private investors. International support includes a $150 million World Bank loan for Indonesia and $127.5 million from climate funds to reduce exploration risks. Even with funding, community resistance can hold up projects. In Indonesia, villagers near sites like Dieng have protested about safety fears following deadly gas leaks and environmental impacts. Timothy Ravis of Cornell University notes some communities lack understanding of geothermal benefits. In the Philippines, concerns about land degradation among native groups have led companies to negotiate royalty payments. Experts stress that gaining community agreement is crucial. Demonstrating concrete local benefits, such as steady employment and public facilities, is key to unlocking this powerful clean energy source beneath Southeast Asia. 5. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 indicate? A. Achieved expansion targets. B. Vast geothermal potential. C. High development efficiency. D. Dominance of traditional energy. 6. What can be inferred about geothermal exploration from Yamamura’s statement? A. Risk-sharing strategies are essential. B. International loans do away with all risks. C. Private investors avoid renewable projects. D. Governments should fully fund drilling phases. 7. What measure is Indonesia taking to support geothermal development? A. Addressing community safety protests. B. Running green energy sales programs. C. Increasing investment returns. D. Providing $150 million exploration loans. 8. Why does the author mention deadly gas leaks in Dieng? A. To stress the need for international loans. B. To explain technical challenges in drilling. C. To illustrate causes of community resistance. D. To compare safety standards in two countries. One day, you might be ordering your favorite pizza from a robot.Researchers at a university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are working on creating a pizza-making robot. “Robots are basically preprogrammed to repeat the same actions over and over,” says David Held, a robot expert from Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the members of a pizza-making team．But making pizza has challenges.For instance, the flour (面粉) will become squishy when meeting water, with a shape that can change in many ways.Also, pizza-making requires many steps—such as rolling and cutting—and several tools, including a rolling, a knife and so on.In what order should the steps be done? Which tools should be picked, and when? “If you need to do a cooking task, there are several levels that you have to reason about,” Held says.Once people get the hang of it, “We don’t even need to think about exactly how we’re doing it- it sort of just happens.But robots can’t really “understand what to do on their own”. To start, the team used a computer to consider how a robot could lift, fatten, gather, move and cut dough (生面团).The method has two levels of robotic reasoning: one that thinks how it should approach the overall task, and the other that thinks how it should move its “hands” to perform each action．The result was better than with the usual programming techniques.“We got a little bit closer to the right shape than the former methods,” Held says．“‘But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.” For now, people will continue to make pizza the old-fashioned way: with their own hands.Sill, a pizza-making robot is a good goal.And if a robot could deal with dough, it could also work with other objects that can change shapes.“You can imagine robots helping in hospitals, or robots that clean up toys in day cares,” Held says.“The general goal is to eventually have robots that can help with whatever the task may be.” 9. What does the underlined word “squishy” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Soft. B. Dirty. C. Plain. D. Precious. 10. What is a challenge for pizza-making robots? A. Separating flour from water. B. Doing all the steps in order. C. Using several tools at once. D. Repeating the same actions. 11. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Methods of moving a pizza. B. Problems with pizza making. C. Improvements to the pizza robot. D. Suggestions on how to make pizza. 12. What does Held say about the development of robots in the future? A. They will help humans in different fields. B. They will replace humans to do all the work. C. They will do better than humans in day cares. D. They will do whatever task as well as humans. If a woman has an extra piece of cake, don’t blame it on greed, blame it on her brain. Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently — and much more strongly — than men’s. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的) about what they eat. Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in King’s College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI：功能性磁共振成像), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women. The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists. They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males. The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non­food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to do. Dr. Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.” Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, “For centuries women have had a providing role — preparing and cooking food for their families. And it’s part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.” But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an fMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的) differences or a learned process.” 13. Dr. Uher and his colleagues carried out the research by comparing ________. A. fMRI’s effectiveness on women and men B. women’s and men’s reaction to different images C. volunteers’ reaction to food before and after meals D. volunteers’ reaction to different kinds of food 14. According to Professor Carey Cooper, women ______. A. turn to food when they feel sad B. are stressed because of food safety C. accept their social role from the heart D. are satisfied with preparing food for their families 15. What was Angelo del Parigi’s attitude towards the research results? A. Surprised. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Curious. People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____ Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. Overuse harms professionalism. B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. 三、完形填空 I walked into the room. 20 years have gone by since I graduated from high school, but seeing ____21____ faces brought me back to my youth at once. Dreamlike. That’s the best way to ____22____ my 20-year high school reunion (聚会). ____23____ and excited, I recognized (认出) many ____24____. No one seemed to ____25____!

It’s a period in life when you are trying to know who you are, or simply trying to ____27____ with others. There are disagreements and there is plenty of stress (压力). But here’s the thing: none of that ____28____ years later. It doesn’t matter whether you were popular or had straight A’s. 20 years later, none of that matters. ____29____ isn’t measured (衡量) by the car that you drive or how much money you make. Success is what holds real _____30_____ in your life — your happiness, your family and your relationships. Success is living _____31_____ and making a difference. As I said my goodbyes, I took one last look at this _____32_____. There’s something special about your teenage friends. You can _____33_____ where you left off, even if it’s been 20 years.

The over-2,000-year-old canal that Cui frequents ____38____(build) during the Han Dynasty (202 BC — AD 220). It aimed at bringing the Yellow River water to present-day Ningxia ____39____ helping turn the region with tracts (大片土地) of deserts into arable land. Through the ages, it is still functioning as an ecological corridor and is the largest ____40____(natural) flowing trunk canal in the Yellow River irrigation area. Along the canal’s 75-km section running through urban Yinchuan, several parks have been built with walking and cycling ____41____(route), contributing to the city’s expanding green space ____42____(map) out for public leisure.

They are both in Grade Six and love hanging out together in their small fishing town. One day, they decided to climb an ancient volcanic hill on a small island near their town to celebrate their last days of primary school. Though the two boys had been to the island many times before, Bruce’s parents were worried about them. With quick reassurance（保证）, Bruce raced out the door to meet Jack. Passing by a giant sculpture of a whale, Jack thought of the whales in the sea. Both of the boys are whale lovers. They have raised hundreds of pounds towards saving them, but they know they need to do even more. Maybe being in high school will help? Since the island is not very far away from the mainland, soon they were nearly at the island. Suddenly, they heard a strange noise. Could it be coming from the many nesting birds on the island? Determined to work out the mystery, they began to search. To their shock, they discovered a whale that had been trapped in a fishing net. In order to free the poor creature, they repeatedly dived down into the freezing sea to cut the net, but eventually, they were worn out. With a storm rolling in, they had to admit defeat. As they rowed back, Bruce and Jack discussed what they should do next. They knew they couldn’t leave the whale trapped like that. They had to do something. Back at home, they told their parents what they had found, and together they came up with a plan. They would raise money to hi re a boat with a bigger engine. They would also ask local businesses and people to donate food for the whale. Then they went door to door in the town, asking for help. Luckily, many local people offered to join them to rescue the trapped whale. 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。 The next day, the storm blew over and the sky cleared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They stopped the boat not far away from the whale. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖南省常德市汉寿县第一中学2025—2026学年 高二下学期期末考试英语试卷 一、听力选择题 1．Where are the speakers?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述的是Castel del Monte从军事要塞转变为旅游热点的过程，以及被UNESCO认定为世界遗产后对当地带来的机遇与挑战。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. (他可能从来没有想到敌人有一天会是游客。但如今，这座古老的城堡已经被擦得干干正正，数百辆色彩斑斓的普尔曼巴士沿着蜿蜒的道路蜿蜒而上，驶往城堡的场地，现在到处都是t恤摊、可口可乐的招牌和一个可容纳200辆车的停车场。这一切都要归功于联合国教科文组织于1996年将其指定为世界遗产。)”可知，蒙特城堡现在已经成为一个热门旅游景点，每天参观的游客络绎不绝。故选B。 【2题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources — human and natural — upon which the industry is ultimately built(世界观察研究所高级顾问丽莎•马斯特尼表示，对于那些被认为“对人类有突出价值”的地方来说，旅游业是一把双刃剑。它为许多贫困社区提供了获得经济回报的机会，但也威胁到该行业最终建立的人力和自然资源。)”可知，Lisa Mastny为，旅游业是一把双刃剑。它为许多贫困社区提供了获得经济回报的机会，但也威胁到该行业最终建立的人力和自然资源。由此可知，“旅游对于世界遗产地而言既是馈赠又有缺点。故划线词意思是“缺点”与A选项“Drawback.(缺点)”为同义。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these sites became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. (“在早期，人们并没有太关注这些遗址成为世界遗产后会发生什么。但这种情况正在缓慢改变，”国际文化财产保护与修复研究中心遗址部门主任Joseph King说。在非洲，一个为期12年的培训项目正在进行中，该项目不仅教授当地人如何保护他们不可移动的文化遗产，还教授他们如何将其用于经济发展。在东欧，旅游业是一个相对较新的事物，城市正在寻求帮助，以弄清楚如何在保护历史中心和促进城市发展之间划清界限。)”可知，作者通过列举了非洲、东欧的例子来说明一些遗址成为世界遗产后会发生的变化。故选C。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program.(越来越多的人意识到，如果没有某种后续的保护计划，被联合国教科文组织认定是毫无价值的，甚至是有害的。)”以及“ “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these sites became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King(“在早期，人们并没有太关注这些遗址成为世界遗产后会发生什么。但这种情况正在缓慢改变，” Joseph King说)”可知，如果没有后续的保护计划，被联合国教科文组织认定是毫无价值的，Joseph King认为早期的时候人们并没有太关注这些遗址成为世界遗产后会发生什么。但这种情况正在缓慢改变即被联合国教科文组织认定的遗址现在正在慢慢地配有后续的保护计划，因此推断他认为被联合国教科文组织认定的世界遗产后需要有后续的保护计划，这些计划是有着重要意义的。A选项“UNESCO designation needs follow-up preservation.(联合国教科文组织的认定需要后续保护。)”符合题意。故选A。 Geothermal (地热的) energy offers constant, clean power with very little land use, making it ideal for Indonesia and the Philippines.

Indonesia is simplifying permits and improving investment returns, while the Philippines is carrying out targeted green energy sales and smart power network plans to attract private investors. International support includes a $150 million World Bank loan for Indonesia and $127.5 million from climate funds to reduce exploration risks. Even with funding, community resistance can hold up projects. In Indonesia, villagers near sites like Dieng have protested about safety fears following deadly gas leaks and environmental impacts. Timothy Ravis of Cornell University notes some communities lack understanding of geothermal benefits. In the Philippines, concerns about land degradation among native groups have led companies to negotiate royalty payments. Experts stress that gaining community agreement is crucial. Demonstrating concrete local benefits, such as steady employment and public facilities, is key to unlocking this powerful clean energy source beneath Southeast Asia. 5. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 indicate? A. Achieved expansion targets. B. Vast geothermal potential. C. High development efficiency. D. Dominance of traditional energy. 6. What can be inferred about geothermal exploration from Yamamura’s statement? A. Risk-sharing strategies are essential. B. International loans do away with all risks. C. Private investors avoid renewable projects. D. Governments should fully fund drilling phases. 7. What measure is Indonesia taking to support geothermal development? A. Addressing community safety protests. B. Running green energy sales programs. C. Increasing investment returns. D. Providing $150 million exploration loans. 8. Why does the author mention deadly gas leaks in Dieng? A. To stress the need for international loans. B. To explain technical challenges in drilling. C. To illustrate causes of community resistance. D. To compare safety standards in two countries. 【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了印度尼西亚和菲律宾两国在地热能源开发方面的现状、挑战以及应对措施。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第二段“Indonesia and the Philippines rank second and third globally in geothermal use but access only a small amount of their reserves. Indonesia makes use of less than 10% of its potential, supplying just 6% of its power. The Philippines has developed about 8% of its capacity, making geothermal energy its largest renewable source at 14.6% of energy use.(印度尼西亚和菲律宾在全球地热能使用方面排名第二和第三，但仅利用了其储量的一小部分。印度尼西亚利用了不到其潜力的10%，仅提供了其6%的电力。菲律宾已经开发了约8%的产能，使地热能成为其最大的可再生能源，占能源使用的14.6%)”可推知，这些数据表明，尽管两国在地热能利用上已有一定规模，但与其巨大的地热能潜力相比，实际利用的仍然很少，从而突出了两国拥有巨大的地热能潜力。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段“The major challenge is high initial costs and risks, especially during the expensive exploratory drilling phase needed to confirm suitable sites. “Developers cannot take 100% of the exploration risk themselves,” explains Shigeru Yamamura of the Asian Development Bank. “Climate finance for geothermal energy in Southeast Asia remains limited, accounting for only 9% of the ASEAN’s(Association of Southeast Asian Nations’) renewable funding,” he adds.(主要挑战是初期成本高、风险大，尤其是在确认合适地点的昂贵的勘探钻井阶段。“开发商不能自己承担100%的勘探风险，”亚洲开发银行的Shigeru Yamamura解释道。“东南亚地热能的气候融资仍然有限，仅占东盟可再生资金总额的9%，”他补充道)”可推知，Yamamura的陈述表明地热勘探需要风险分担策略，因为开发商不能独自承担全部风险。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第五段中“Solutions include integrated finance(combining public/private funds, donations and green bonds) and policy reforms. Indonesia is simplifying permits and improving investment returns, while the Philippines is carrying out targeted green energy sales and smart power network plans to attract private investors.(解决方案包括综合融资（结合公共/私人资金、捐赠和绿色债券）和政策改革。印度尼西亚正在简化许可证审批流程并提高投资回报率，而菲律宾正在开展有针对性的绿色能源销售和智能电网计划，以吸引私人投资者)”可知，印度尼西亚正在采取提高投资回报率的措施来支持地热能的发展。故选C。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Even with funding, community resistance can hold up projects. In Indonesia, villagers near sites like Dieng have protested about safety fears following deadly gas leaks and environmental impacts. Timothy Ravis of Cornell University notes some communities lack understanding of geothermal benefits. In the Philippines, concerns about land degradation among native groups have led companies to negotiate royalty payments. Experts stress that gaining community agreement is crucial. Demonstrating concrete local benefits, such as steady employment and public facilities, is key to unlocking this powerful clean energy source beneath Southeast Asia.(即使有资金支持，社区的抵制也可能阻碍项目的进行。在印度尼西亚，像Dieng等地的村民因致命气体泄漏和对环境的影响而抗议安全问题。康奈尔大学的Timothy Ravis指出，一些社区缺乏对地热能益处的了解。在菲律宾，土著群体对土地退化的担忧促使公司与他们协商支付特许权使用费。专家强调，获得社区的同意至关重要。展示具体的当地利益，如稳定的就业和公共设施，是解锁东南亚地下这种强大的清洁能源的关键)”可推知，作者提到Dieng的致命气体泄漏是为了说明社区抵制地热能项目的原因之一，即安全问题。故选C。 One day, you might be ordering your favorite pizza from a robot.Researchers at a university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are working on creating a pizza-making robot. “Robots are basically preprogrammed to repeat the same actions over and over,” says David Held, a robot expert from Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the members of a pizza-making team．But making pizza has challenges.For instance, the flour (面粉) will become squishy when meeting water, with a shape that can change in many ways.Also, pizza-making requires many steps—such as rolling and cutting—and several tools, including a rolling, a knife and so on.In what order should the steps be done? Which tools should be picked, and when? “If you need to do a cooking task, there are several levels that you have to reason about,” Held says.Once people get the hang of it, “We don’t even need to think about exactly how we’re doing it- it sort of just happens.But robots can’t really “understand what to do on their own”. To start, the team used a computer to consider how a robot could lift, fatten, gather, move and cut dough (生面团).The method has two levels of robotic reasoning: one that thinks how it should approach the overall task, and the other that thinks how it should move its “hands” to perform each action．The result was better than with the usual programming techniques.“We got a little bit closer to the right shape than the former methods,” Held says．“‘But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.” For now, people will continue to make pizza the old-fashioned way: with their own hands.Sill, a pizza-making robot is a good goal.And if a robot could deal with dough, it could also work with other objects that can change shapes.“You can imagine robots helping in hospitals, or robots that clean up toys in day cares,” Held says.“The general goal is to eventually have robots that can help with whatever the task may be.” 9. What does the underlined word “squishy” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Soft. B. Dirty. C. Plain. D. Precious. 10. What is a challenge for pizza-making robots? A. Separating flour from water. B. Doing all the steps in order. C. Using several tools at once. D. Repeating the same actions. 11. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Methods of moving a pizza. B. Problems with pizza making. C. Improvements to the pizza robot. D. Suggestions on how to make pizza. 12. What does Held say about the development of robots in the future? A. They will help humans in different fields. B. They will replace humans to do all the work. C. They will do better than humans in day cares. D. They will do whatever task as well as humans. 【答案】9. A 10. B 11. C 12. A 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着科技的发展，我们终将拥有帮助我们完成任何任务的机器人。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文““when meeting water, with a shape that can change in many ways．（当遇到水时，形状会在很多方面发生变化。）”可知，这里说的是面粉与水融合后会变得湿软，可知这里squishy与soft同义，故选择A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Robots are basically preprogrammed to repeat the same actions over and over,” says David Held, a robot expert from Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the members of a pizza-making team．But making pizza has challenges．（卡内基梅隆大学的机器人专家、披萨制作团队成员之一David Held说：“机器人基本上是经过预编程的，可以一遍又一遍地重复相同的动作。”但制作披萨也有挑战。）”可知，机器人制作披萨，面临的挑战是按顺序完成任务，故选择B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The result was better than with the usual programming techniques.“We got a little bit closer to the right shape than the former methods,” Held says.“‘But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.（结果比通常的编程技术要好。“我们比以前的方法更接近正确的形状，”赫尔德说，“但还有很大的改进空间。”）”可知，本段主要讲述的是，制作披萨的机器人的改进过程，故选择C项。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““You can imagine robots helping in hospitals, or robots that clean up toys in day cares,” Held says．“The general goal is to eventually have robots that can help with whatever the task may be．”（赫尔德说：“你可以想象机器人在医院帮忙，或者机器人在日托中心清理玩具。总的目标是最终拥有能够帮助完成任何任务的机器人。”）” 可知，赫尔德认为机器人总有一天能在各个领域为人们提供帮助，故选择A项。 【点睛】 If a woman has an extra piece of cake, don’t blame it on greed, blame it on her brain. Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently — and much more strongly — than men’s. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的) about what they eat. Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in King’s College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI：功能性磁共振成像), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women. The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists. They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males. The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non­food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to do. Dr. Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.” Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, “For centuries women have had a providing role — preparing and cooking food for their families. And it’s part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.” But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an fMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的) differences or a learned process.” 13. Dr. Uher and his colleagues carried out the research by comparing ________. A. fMRI’s effectiveness on women and men B. women’s and men’s reaction to different images C. volunteers’ reaction to food before and after meals D. volunteers’ reaction to different kinds of food 14. According to Professor Carey Cooper, women ______. A. turn to food when they feel sad B. are stressed because of food safety C. accept their social role from the heart D. are satisfied with preparing food for their families 15. What was Angelo del Parigi’s attitude towards the research results? A. Surprised. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Curious. 【答案】13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇科普说明文，女性和男性对食物的反应是不一样的，文章中介绍了对此进行研究的实验，实验发现女性把食物当成舒缓压力的方法。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章4、5段The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists. They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.可知科学家让志愿者看食物，也让他们闻食物。以此来观察男性和女性对待不同食物的反应。故B项正确。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段第四句If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress.可知女性把食物当成舒缓压力的方法，也就是说当女性感觉压力的时候，她们就会吃东西来缓解压力。故A项正确。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved.可知专家认为在结果被证明之前，要做更多的研究工作。也就是说他们对结果持怀疑态度。故B项正确。 People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____ Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. Overuse harms professionalism. B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. B 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了幽默助力科普，可简化知识、增进互动，但使用不当易误导大众。科普要兼顾趣味与严谨，适度巧用幽默。 【16题详解】 前文“This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online.( 幽默的这种魔力不仅在日常生活中有效，在科学领域（尤其是在网络上）也同样如此。)”引出“幽默在科学领域（尤其是线上）同样闪耀”的核心话题，后文分点阐述幽默在科学传播中的具体好处。本空需要一个承上启下的总起句，概括幽默对科学传播的整体作用。D选项“A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.( 一点幽默就能极大地提升科学家的沟通效果。)”起到承上启下的作用，上下文语意连贯。 【17题详解】 上文“Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.( 首先，幽默能简化复杂的科学知识。)”本段第一个分论点是“幽默简化艰深的科学知识”，后文“For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand.( 例如，用一个关于“机器像笨拙的学步儿童一样学习”的有趣类比来解释自动驾驶汽车中的人工智能，能让非专业人士更容易理解抽象的概念。)”用“用笨拙学步儿童类比自动驾驶 AI”的例子支撑。本空是对分论点的同义转述和补充说明，F选项“It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.( 它有助于使复杂的概念为普通人所理解。)”中“complex concepts understandable”与“simplifies tough scientific knowledge”完全对应，同时引出下文举例。 【18题详解】 前文“For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand.( 例如，用一个关于“机器像笨拙的学步儿童一样学习”的有趣类比来解释自动驾驶汽车中的人工智能，能让非专业人士更容易理解抽象的概念。)”讲完第一个好处，后文“Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts.( 科学家在社交媒体上分享关于实验室实验的聪明幽默故事，往往比枯燥的学术帖子吸引更多的互动。)”提到“幽默的实验室故事比干巴巴的学术帖子吸引更多互动”，这是幽默的第二个核心好处。B选项“It also boosts audience engagement effectively.( 同时还能有效地提高观众的参与度。)”用 “also”自然过渡，“boosts audience engagement” 与后文“attract more interactions”形成精准对应。 【19题详解】 前两段全在讲幽默的积极作用，以及下文“The hidden risks deserve our attention.( 隐藏的风险值得我们关注。)”突然转向“隐藏的风险值得关注”。本空需要一个强转折句，完成从 “利”到“弊”的逻辑切换，E选项“Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.( 幽默在科学交流中是一把双刃剑。)”中“double-edged sword（双刃剑）” 完美概括了幽默既有好处也有风险的特点。 【20题详解】 上文“Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness.( 恰当的幽默运用需要在生动表达和专业精准之间取得平衡。它既不能掩盖核心的科学信息，也不能过于浅显以至于失去严肃性。)”讲的是恰当的幽默需要注意的事项，空处反向说明过度使用幽默带来的不良影响。A选项“Overuse harms professionalism.( 过度使用会损害专业形象。)”起到承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。 三、完形填空 I walked into the room. 20 years have gone by since I graduated from high school, but seeing ____21____ faces brought me back to my youth at once.

They are both in Grade Six and love hanging out together in their small fishing town. One day, they decided to climb an ancient volcanic hill on a small island near their town to celebrate their last days of primary school. Though the two boys had been to the island many times before, Bruce’s parents were worried about them. With quick reassurance（保证）, Bruce raced out the door to meet Jack. Passing by a giant sculpture of a whale, Jack thought of the whales in the sea. Both of the boys are whale lovers. They have raised hundreds of pounds towards saving them, but they know they need to do even more. Maybe being in high school will help? Since the island is not very far away from the mainland, soon they were nearly at the island. Suddenly, they heard a strange noise. Could it be coming from the many nesting birds on the island? Determined to work out the mystery, they began to search. To their shock, they discovered a whale that had been trapped in a fishing net. In order to free the poor creature, they repeatedly dived down into the freezing sea to cut the net, but eventually, they were worn out. With a storm rolling in, they had to admit defeat. As they rowed back, Bruce and Jack discussed what they should do next. They knew they couldn’t leave the whale trapped like that. They had to do something. Back at home, they told their parents what they had found, and together they came up with a plan. They would raise money to hi re a boat with a bigger engine. They would also ask local businesses and people to donate food for the whale. Then they went door to door in the town, asking for help. Luckily, many local people offered to join them to rescue the trapped whale. 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。 The next day, the storm blew over and the sky cleared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They stopped the boat not far away from the whale. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, the storm blew over and the sky cleared. Bruce, Jack, their parents, and the volunteers they had rallied, set out early in the morning aboard the newly rented boat, its engine roaring with promise. The sea, now calmer, mirrored the serenity of the freshly washed sky above. Spirits were high as they navigated towards the island, each person on board carrying the weight of hope and determination to save the trapped whale. They stopped the boat not far away from the whale. The team sprang into action, dividing themselves into smaller groups with specific tasks. With a nod from the team leader, the divers plunged into the chilly water, their breaths held in anticipation. As the net gradually loosened, the whale seemed to sense the progress, its movements becoming less strained. With one final strategic cut, the whale was freed from its aquatic prison. Back on the boat, cheers erupted, and tears of joy mixed with the salty sea breeze. For Bruce and Jack, this adventure marked not only the end of their primary school years but the beginning of a lifelong commitment to making a difference in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一对好朋友Jack和Bruce的故事。他们即将从小学毕业，为了庆祝这一时刻，决定去附近小岛上的古火山丘探险。两人都是鲸鱼爱好者，并为保护鲸鱼筹集过资金。在前往小岛的过程中，他们意外发现一头鲸鱼被渔网困住。尽管尝试解救，但因体力不支和天气变坏而未能成功。回到家后，他们告知父母并共同策划了一场救援行动，包括筹款租用大马力船和征集食物，同时动员小镇居民参与。故事展现了两个孩子的勇敢、坚持以及社区团结合作的精神，为了保护野生动物而共同努力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，暴风雨过去了，天空放晴了。”可知，第一段可描写布鲁斯、杰克、他们的父母和他们召集的志愿者一大早就登上了新租的船拯救被困的鲸鱼，船上的每个人都肩负着拯救被困鲸鱼的希望和决心。。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们把船停在离鲸鱼不远的地方。”可知，第二段可描写团队迅速行动起来，将自己分成几个小组，完成特定的任务，最后这头鲸鱼获释，对Bruce和Jack来说，这次冒险不仅标志着他们小学时代的结束，也标志着他们毕生致力于改变世界的开始。 2.续写线索：登上新租的船——充满希望——驶向小岛——情绪高涨——肩负着拯救鲸鱼的希望和决心——团队迅速行动——完成特定任务——鲸鱼获释——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①登上：aboard/step onto ②驶向/前往：navigate towards/head for ③.出发： set out/start off 情绪类 ①情绪高涨：carry the weight of hope and determination/be in high spirits ②喜悦：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].
