It is under the administration of Sabah Wildlife Department with the aim of returning orphaned, injured or displaced orangutans back into the wild. The centre is situated on the east coast of Sabah (Sandakan district) and covered over4, 294 hectares of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve. Feeding Generally, visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10: 00 am and 3: 00 pm feeding sessions at the platform. Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment. Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks. Unauthorized access to restricted areas is strictly prohibited. Entrance fee is applicable Adults Children $5.00(Malaysian) $30.00(Non-Malaysian) $2.00(Malaysian) $15.00 (Non-Malaysian) 1. Why might visitors fail to see the orangutans during feeding time? A. The orangutans are afraid of visitors’ noise. B. The orangutans don’t like food offered by SORC. C. The orangutans have found enough food in the wild. D. The orangutans are kept in their rooms due to the bad weather. 2. What are visitors prohibited from doing at the SORC? A. Taking photos. B. Touching the orangutans. C. Talking with each other. D. Walking along the designated pathways. 3. How much will a Malaysian teacher with an American pupil pay to enter the centre? A. $7.00. B. $20.00. C. $32.00. D. $45.00. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要说明了红毛猩猩喂食时间、猩猩不出现的原因及参观准则。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season.(有没有出现过猩猩没有按时前来进食的情况呢？当然有！不过我们要提醒您的是，这种情况并非经常发生。主要原因在于，猩猩能够在野外获取食物，尤其是在果实成熟的季节)”可知，游客在喂食时间可能会看不到猩猩是因为猩猩在野外已经找到了足够的食物。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分“No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans.(禁止触碰或喂食：请勿触碰、喂食或试图与猩猩进行互动)”可知，在索罗克保护区，游客被禁止触摸猩猩。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Adults：$5.00(Malaysian)；Children：$15.00 (Non-Malaysian)(成人票价：5.00美元（马来西亚人）；儿童票价：15.00美元（非马来西亚人）)”可知，一位马来西亚教师和一名美国学生，需要支付5+15=20美元才能进入该中心。故选B。 B Two months into my Ph.D., I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science. I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled to follow the discussions. After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas. Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words. Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life. 4. Why did the author almost quit her Ph.D. according to paragraph 1? A. She disliked lab discussions. B. She lacked future plans in science. C. She messed up her presentation. D. She struggled with language barriers. 5. What was the turning point for the author during her Ph.D. studies? A. Her embarrassing presentation. B. Returning to her hometown to run a lab. C. The senior lab member’s supportive remark. D. Moving to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland. 6. Which word would best describe the author as a teacher? A. Inspirational. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Authoritative. 7. What does the underlined phrase “cross the bridge” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Travel between countries for education. B. Change from a student to a professor. C. Grow from uncertainty to confidence. D. Build bonds between professors and students. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者攻读博士初期因语言障碍陷入自我怀疑甚至想放弃，在得到前辈鼓励后坚持并成长，后来成为导师，用同样的方式鼓励学生从迷茫走向自信，收获科研人生的真正价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Two months into my Ph.D., I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues.(读博两个月后，我几乎要放弃了。我蹩脚的英语使我很难跟上同事的步伐。)”、“I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science.(我感到格格不入，对自己在科学领域的未来感到不确定)”以及本段中所讲述的语言问题导致实验失误、演讲尴尬等，作者几乎退学的原因是语言障碍带来的种种困境，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue.(在一次特别尴尬的汇报后，一位实验室资深成员把我拉到一边说：“你能在这里不是因为你的英语，而是因为你会思考” 他的话给了我坚持下去的力量。)”可知，一位资深实验室成员的鼓励话语给了作者继续下去的动力，是作者博士生阶段的转折点。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words.(当我看到一个学生在做实验时很吃力，我告诉她：“你不在这里是因为你的实验总是成功的。你在这里是因为你能思考”她的微笑告诉我她被这些话鼓舞了。)”可知，作者传承了当年他人对自己的鼓励，用相似的话鼓励迷茫的学生，帮助学生建立信心；因此，作者作为老师是鼓舞激励人的。故选A。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor.(如今，我在工作中最看重的是我在学生身上看到的转变，他们来的时候不确定，离开的时候却有足够的信心来挑战我——他们的教授。)”可知，作者工作中注重帮助学生建立信心，帮助学生完成从迷茫不确定到自信的成长转变，“For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life.(对我来说，帮助别人cross the bridge是科学生活的真正回报。)”中的“cross the bridge”指的是从迷茫不安走向自信的成长，故选C。 C Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found. “This speed was extremely high and kind of shocking,” says astrophysicist Terry. It introduces a series of questions about the survivability of these types of systems. This galactic speed “monster” appears to center on a red dwarf star (红矮星) which is smaller and less bright than our sun. It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center. Astronomers discovered the star and a suspected accompanying planet after a 2011 “microlensing” event called MOA-2011-BLG-262, when the system passed in front of a background star and bent the latter’s light. Terry and his colleagues observed the system again in 2021. They found that its known planet is most likely a gas giant with about 29 times Earth’s mass that orbits its star at a distance between those at which Venus and Earth orbit our sun. The researchers also mapped the system’s position in the 2021 data relative to where it was about a decade prior, revealing how fast it traveled. It might be a hyper-speed star system, an example of a rare class of astronomical objects that have been sped up by past encounters with other stars’ gravity — or even by a gravitational slingshot (弹弓) from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. These objects travel faster than 500 kilometers a second, and the speediest known one travels at over 2,000 kilometers a second. “It’s an extraordinary category of stars,” Terry says, estimating that the system in this study more than doubled its speed after its own dramatic encounter. “No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds. 8. What does the underlined word “laggard” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Something moving slowly. B. Something becoming famous. C. Something traveling endlessly. D. Something looking incomparable. 9. What can we learn about the “monster” from paragraph 2? A. Its star is much brighter than our sun. B. Its planet’s mass is identical to Venus’s. C. It’s a system discovered through its own light. D. It’s closer to the galactic center than Earth. 10. What does Terry think of the discovery? A. It is accidental. B. It is common. C. It is pioneering. D. It is strange. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Milky Way Galaxy’s Center B. The Solar System’s Bright Stars C. The Fastest Astronomical Objects D. The Planetary System Speed Record 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了天文学家发现了银河系中速度最快的行星系统，该系统的运行速度远超太阳系，引发了关于此类系统生存性、行星起源与演化的一系列新研究。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found.(太阳系绕银河系中心运行一周约需2.1亿年，运行速度约为每秒240公里——这一惊人速度我们无法感知，因为整个系统以相同的恒定速度运动。但一项新研究表明，与银河系中一个被加速到每秒541公里的行星系统相比，我们的太阳系是宇宙中的laggard，该系统是迄今为止发现的速度最快的行星系统。)”可知，太阳系速度约240公里/秒，新发现系统速度达541公里/秒，二者对比能看出“laggard”表示“移动缓慢的事物”。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center.(它距离地球约24500光年，距离银河系中心约1500光年。)”结合地球距离银河系中心约26000光年的常识，可知该系统比地球更靠近银河系中心。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds.(“此前从未发现过带有行星的超高速恒星。这可能会开启对超高速恒星周围行星起源与演化的新研究。”他补充道。)”可知，Terry认为该发现是首次发现带有行星的超高速恒星系统，能开辟新的研究方向，属于开创性的发现。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found.(但一项新研究表明，与银河系中一个被加速到每秒541公里的行星系统相比，我们的太阳系是宇宙中的移动缓慢的事物，该系统是迄今为止发现的速度最快的行星系统。)”以及全文围绕该速度最快的行星系统展开介绍其特征、发现过程、研究意义等内容，可知本文核心是介绍这一打破速度纪录的行星系统，D选项“The Planetary System Speed Record(行星系统速度纪录)”最能概括全文主旨。故选D。 D Linguistics holds a basic premise (前提) at its heart; all languages are equal. Each of the world’s roughly 7,000 languages represents a unique way of seeing and understanding life, a natural experiment in human thought. Judgments of a language’s worth come not from its structure, but from the power and status of its speakers. Yet this profound diversity is collapsing. Currently, about half of all languages have 10,000 or fewer speakers. The median number of speakers per language on every continent is below 1,000. These figures signal acute endangerment. Languages are not a dying natural death; they are being forced out of existence. A few dozen killer languages, like English and Spanish, expand through political, economic, and cultural conquest, while centuries of imperialism, capitalism, and nation-building squeeze out the rest. In settler societies like the US and Canada, half of the indigenous (原住民的) languages are already silent; in homes globally, families abandon mother tongues for dominant languages, losing not just words but gestures and cultural knowledge. Why does this loss matter? Each language holds unique insights into human communication — like the expressive clicks of Khoisan languages or the object-subject-verb order of Warao. More crucially, languages carry poetry, oral histories, environmental wisdom, and lifestyles. Research confirms that mother-tongue education and language maintenance are vital for mental and physical well-being, especially for marginalized (被边缘化的) communities. The organized effort to preserve languages is recent. Inspired by biodiversity and indigenous rights movements, linguists and activists now race to document languages, creating dictionaries and recording oral histories. However, linguists cannot “save” languages alone;that power lies with the communities themselves. Revitalization is a challenging act of hope, often feeling like a “wonderful madness” — an attempt to revive a worldview nearly lost. The fight for linguistic diversity is ultimately a fight alongside its speakers, requiring real support from the majority world that seldom notices this silent crisis. 12. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To list global language statistics. B. To present a current language crisis. C. To argue against language superiority. D. To compare various language structures. 13. What does the term “killer languages” refer to in the text? A. Those no longer spoken by any community. B. Those passing on through words and gestures. C. Those thriving at the expense of other languages. D. Those simplifying complex sound and grammar rules. 14. Why does language loss matter according to paragraph 3? A. It degrades poetry and oral histories. B. It threatens global environmental safety. C. It damages well-being of all communities. D. It hurts the sustainability of some knowledge. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Linguists are documenting dying languages. B. Language loss results from social and historical forces. C. Native languages are being replaced by dominant ones. D. The collapse of language diversity is causing cultural loss. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了世界语言面临危机，保护语言多样性的重要性及语言复兴的关键在于社区自身的努力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Linguistics holds a basic premise (前提) at its heart; all languages are equal. Each of the world’s roughly 7,000 languages represents a unique way of seeing and understanding life, a natural experiment in human thought. Judgments of a language’s worth come not from its structure, but from the power and status of its speakers. Yet this profound diversity is collapsing. Currently, about half of all languages have 10,000 or fewer speakers. The median number of speakers per language on every continent is below 1,000. These figures signal acute endangerment. (语言学的核心观点是：所有语言都是平等的。全球约7000种语言各自代表着一种独特的看待和理解生活的方式，是人类思维中的一次自然实验。对一种语言价值的评判并非基于其结构，而是基于其使用者的力量和地位。然而，这种深刻的多样性正在逐渐消失。目前，大约一半的语言仅有10000名或更少的使用者。每个大洲上每种语言的中位数都低于1000人。这些数据表明了严重的濒危状况)”可推知，第一段的功能是展示当前的语言危机。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“A few dozen killer languages, like English and Spanish, expand through political, economic, and cultural conquest, while centuries of imperialism, capitalism, and nation-building squeeze out the rest. (像英语和西班牙语这样的killer languages，通过政治、经济和文化征服不断扩张，而几个世纪以来的帝国主义、资本主义和国家构建排挤了其他语言)”可知，英语和西班牙语等语言通过政治、经济和文化征服而扩张，其他语言则被排挤。由此可知，killer languages指的是那些以牺牲其他语言为代价而蓬勃发展的语言。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“More crucially, languages carry poetry, oral histories, environmental wisdom, and lifeways. Research confirms that mother-tongue education and language maintenance are vital for mental and physical well-being, especially for marginalized (被边缘化的) communities.(更重要的是，语言承载着诗歌、口述历史、环境智慧和生活方式。研究证实，母语教育和语言维护对身心健康至关重要，尤其是对边缘化社区)”可知，语言承载着诗歌、口述历史、环境智慧和生活方式。由此推知，语言消失会损害一些知识的延续。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段“Yet this profound diversity is collapsing. Currently, about half of all languages have 10,000 or fewer speakers. The median number of speakers per language on every continent is below 1,000. These figures signal acute endangerment. (然而，这种深刻的多样性正在逐渐消失。目前，约有一半的语言使用者人数不足10000人。在每个大洲，每种语言的中位数都低于1000人。这些数据表明这些语言正面临严重的濒危状况)”可知，全文围绕语言多样性的崩溃展开，介绍了濒危现状、原因，点明语言消失会造成文化、本土知识的损失，最后呼吁保护。由此可知，文章主要讨论语言多样性的崩塌正在造成文化损失。故选D。 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。 How to improve study efficiency You’re not alone if you have trouble studying efficiently.

Over the years, I’ve encountered countless people and experienced many things, but one story has always stayed deeply in my heart. Today I’d like to share this story that happened 30 years ago. Shortly after I moved into my new apartment complex, a mother named Hilary and her 57-year-old daughter named Debby became my new neighbors. They were warm-hearted and approachable — whenever they met residents, they’d offer genuine smiles and kind greetings, always ready to lend a helping hand if needed. However, I held a strong prejudice against them. I noticed their simple clothes and the old furniture they brought in, assuming they were from a remote town and had little in common with me. One weekend afternoon, I was reading at home when there was a soft knock on the door. Through the peephole (猫眼), I saw Debby holding a small plate of freshly baked cookies in her tiny hands. Instead of opening the door, I quietly stepped away and stood still behind it. I heard her wait for a moment, then knock gently again. When there was still no response, she left in disappointment. I told myself I didn’t have time for small talk with people from “different worlds”, even though I knew deep down that she’d simply come to share the freshly baked cookies with me. One evening, a sudden power cut hit the whole neighborhood without any warning. The room turned black in an instant, and I felt anxious instantly — there was an important market research report I had to finish for the next day’s meeting, and I had no candles at home. My mind raced with worries: This report was crucial for our team’s quarterly assessment, and failing to submit it on time would not only disappoint my coworkers but also affect the company’s cooperation plan. I paced back and forth in the dark, tapping my foot nervously, and even felt around the room blindly hoping to find a spare flashlight, but in vain. 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。 Suddenly, my doorbell rang. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was deeply moved by Debby and her mother’s kindness. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Suddenly, my doorbell rang. I hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door and opened it. It was Debby, standing beside her mother Hilary. Debby held a small candle in her hand, and Hilary carried a flashlight and a few more candles. “Aunt Maria, we noticed the power is out. Mom said you might need these,” Debby said with a bright smile. Hilary added gently, “Take them. I hope they will be helpful to you.” I stood there, speechless, feeling a surge of guilt for my previous rudeness. I was deeply moved by Debby and her mother’s kindness. I apologized to them sincerely for not opening the door when Debby came with cookies. They just smiled and said it was nothing. Later, I often chatted with them and found that Hilary was a very knowledgeable woman who used to be a teacher. Gradually, we became good friends. This experience taught me that prejudice can blind us to kindness, and we should never judge others by their appearance. Hilary and Debby’s kindness has always reminded me to treat everyone with an open heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者玛丽亚・黑尔是一家著名营销公司的经理。30 年前，她搬入新公寓后，对新邻居希拉里和黛比母女存在偏见，认为她们穿着朴素、家具陈旧，与自己没有共同之处。一次，黛比送刚烤好的饼干，作者没有开门。后来，一天晚上整个社区突然停电，作者因要完成重要报告却没有蜡烛而焦虑。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，门铃响了。”可知，第一段可续写应围绕门铃响后发生的事情展开。原来是黛比和希拉里母女，她们给作者送来了蜡烛和手电筒，作者为之前的无礼感到内疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“我被黛比和她母亲的善良深深打动。”可知，第二段可续写要体现作者被母女的善良所打动，真诚道歉并与她们交流，发现希拉里曾是老师，很有学识，最终她们成为好朋友，作者也从这次经历中领悟到不能以貌取人，要以开放的心态对待他人。 2.续写线索：门铃引发的行动——母女的出现及来意——作者的内心感受——作者的道歉——深入交流与发现——关系转变与感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①犹豫：hesitate /waver/be indecisive ②道歉：apologize /make an apology /say sorry ③微笑：smile /beam/grin 情绪类： ①真诚地：sincerely /earnestly ②温柔地：gently /softly 【点睛】【高分句型 1】I stood there, speechless, feeling a surge of guilt for my previous rudeness.（运用了现在分词feeling作状语） 【高分句型 2】This experience taught me that prejudice can blind us to kindness, and we should never judge others by their appearance.（运用 that 引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年下学期期中考试 高三英语试卷 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) 1.Why is the woman worried?

It is under the administration of Sabah Wildlife Department with the aim of returning orphaned, injured or displaced orangutans back into the wild. The centre is situated on the east coast of Sabah (Sandakan district) and covered over4, 294 hectares of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve. Feeding Generally, visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10: 00 am and 3: 00 pm feeding sessions at the platform. Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment. Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks. Unauthorized access to restricted areas is strictly prohibited. Entrance fee is applicable Adults Children $5.00(Malaysian) $30.00(Non-Malaysian) $2.00(Malaysian) $15.00 (Non-Malaysian) 1. Why might visitors fail to see the orangutans during feeding time? A. The orangutans are afraid of visitors’ noise. B. The orangutans don’t like food offered by SORC. C. The orangutans have found enough food in the wild. D. The orangutans are kept in their rooms due to the bad weather. 2. What are visitors prohibited from doing at the SORC? A. Taking photos. B. Touching the orangutans. C. Talking with each other. D. Walking along the designated pathways. 3. How much will a Malaysian teacher with an American pupil pay to enter the centre? A. $7.00. B. $20.00. C. $32.00. D. $45.00. B Two months into my Ph.D., I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science. I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled to follow the discussions. After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas. Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words. Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life. 4. Why did the author almost quit her Ph.D. according to paragraph 1? A. She disliked lab discussions. B. She lacked future plans in science. C. She messed up her presentation. D. She struggled with language barriers. 5. What was the turning point for the author during her Ph.D. studies? A. Her embarrassing presentation. B. Returning to her hometown to run a lab. C. The senior lab member’s supportive remark. D. Moving to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland. 6. Which word would best describe the author as a teacher? A. Inspirational. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Authoritative. 7. What does the underlined phrase “cross the bridge” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Travel between countries for education. B. Change from a student to a professor. C. Grow from uncertainty to confidence. D. Build bonds between professors and students. C Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found. “This speed was extremely high and kind of shocking,” says astrophysicist Terry. It introduces a series of questions about the survivability of these types of systems. This galactic speed “monster” appears to center on a red dwarf star (红矮星) which is smaller and less bright than our sun. It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center. Astronomers discovered the star and a suspected accompanying planet after a 2011 “microlensing” event called MOA-2011-BLG-262, when the system passed in front of a background star and bent the latter’s light. Terry and his colleagues observed the system again in 2021. They found that its known planet is most likely a gas giant with about 29 times Earth’s mass that orbits its star at a distance between those at which Venus and Earth orbit our sun. The researchers also mapped the system’s position in the 2021 data relative to where it was about a decade prior, revealing how fast it traveled. It might be a hyper-speed star system, an example of a rare class of astronomical objects that have been sped up by past encounters with other stars’ gravity — or even by a gravitational slingshot (弹弓) from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. These objects travel faster than 500 kilometers a second, and the speediest known one travels at over 2,000 kilometers a second. “It’s an extraordinary category of stars,” Terry says, estimating that the system in this study more than doubled its speed after its own dramatic encounter. “No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds. 8. What does the underlined word “laggard” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Something moving slowly. B. Something becoming famous. C. Something traveling endlessly. D. Something looking incomparable. 9. What can we learn about the “monster” from paragraph 2? A. Its star is much brighter than our sun. B. Its planet’s mass is identical to Venus’s. C. It’s a system discovered through its own light. D. It’s closer to the galactic center than Earth. 10. What does Terry think of the discovery? A. It is accidental. B. It is common. C. It is pioneering. D. It is strange. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Milky Way Galaxy’s Center B. The Solar System’s Bright Stars C. The Fastest Astronomical Objects D. The Planetary System Speed Record D Linguistics holds a basic premise (前提) at its heart; all languages are equal. Each of the world’s roughly 7,000 languages represents a unique way of seeing and understanding life, a natural experiment in human thought. Judgments of a language’s worth come not from its structure, but from the power and status of its speakers. Yet this profound diversity is collapsing. Currently, about half of all languages have 10,000 or fewer speakers. The median number of speakers per language on every continent is below 1,000. These figures signal acute endangerment. Languages are not a dying natural death; they are being forced out of existence. A few dozen killer languages, like English and Spanish, expand through political, economic, and cultural conquest, while centuries of imperialism, capitalism, and nation-building squeeze out the rest. In settler societies like the US and Canada, half of the indigenous (原住民的) languages are already silent; in homes globally, families abandon mother tongues for dominant languages, losing not just words but gestures and cultural knowledge. Why does this loss matter? Each language holds unique insights into human communication — like the expressive clicks of Khoisan languages or the object-subject-verb order of Warao. More crucially, languages carry poetry, oral histories, environmental wisdom, and lifestyles. Research confirms that mother-tongue education and language maintenance are vital for mental and physical well-being, especially for marginalized (被边缘化的) communities. The organized effort to preserve languages is recent. Inspired by biodiversity and indigenous rights movements, linguists and activists now race to document languages, creating dictionaries and recording oral histories. However, linguists cannot “save” languages alone;that power lies with the communities themselves. Revitalization is a challenging act of hope, often feeling like a “wonderful madness” — an attempt to revive a worldview nearly lost. The fight for linguistic diversity is ultimately a fight alongside its speakers, requiring real support from the majority world that seldom notices this silent crisis. 12. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To list global language statistics. B. To present a current language crisis. C. To argue against language superiority. D. To compare various language structures. 13. What does the term “killer languages” refer to in the text? A. Those no longer spoken by any community. B. Those passing on through words and gestures. C. Those thriving at the expense of other languages. D. Those simplifying complex sound and grammar rules. 14. Why does language loss matter according to paragraph 3? A. It degrades poetry and oral histories. B. It threatens global environmental safety. C. It damages well-being of all communities. D. It hurts the sustainability of some knowledge. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Linguists are documenting dying languages. B. Language loss results from social and historical forces. C. Native languages are being replaced by dominant ones. D. The collapse of language diversity is causing cultural loss. 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。 How to improve study efficiency You’re not alone if you have trouble studying efficiently.

Over the years, I’ve encountered countless people and experienced many things, but one story has always stayed deeply in my heart. Today I’d like to share this story that happened 30 years ago. Shortly after I moved into my new apartment complex, a mother named Hilary and her 57-year-old daughter named Debby became my new neighbors. They were warm-hearted and approachable — whenever they met residents, they’d offer genuine smiles and kind greetings, always ready to lend a helping hand if needed. However, I held a strong prejudice against them. I noticed their simple clothes and the old furniture they brought in, assuming they were from a remote town and had little in common with me. One weekend afternoon, I was reading at home when there was a soft knock on the door. Through the peephole (猫眼), I saw Debby holding a small plate of freshly baked cookies in her tiny hands. Instead of opening the door, I quietly stepped away and stood still behind it. I heard her wait for a moment, then knock gently again. When there was still no response, she left in disappointment. I told myself I didn’t have time for small talk with people from “different worlds”, even though I knew deep down that she’d simply come to share the freshly baked cookies with me. One evening, a sudden power cut hit the whole neighborhood without any warning. The room turned black in an instant, and I felt anxious instantly — there was an important market research report I had to finish for the next day’s meeting, and I had no candles at home. My mind raced with worries: This report was crucial for our team’s quarterly assessment, and failing to submit it on time would not only disappoint my coworkers but also affect the company’s cooperation plan. I paced back and forth in the dark, tapping my foot nervously, and even felt around the room blindly hoping to find a spare flashlight, but in vain. 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。 Suddenly, my doorbell rang. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was deeply moved by Debby and her mother’s kindness. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 should really start turning in my homework on time.
