But that changed in 2020, when China completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System — the country’s first fully independent global positioning network. Built over 20 years at a cost of roughly $10 billion, BeiDou now operates 55 satellites in orbit, compared to GPS’s 31. The result? Positioning accuracy of 2.5 metres — sharper than GPS’s 3.5 metres. The table below compares key features of BeiDou and GPS. BeiDou CN GPS US Satellites 55 31 Accuracy(m) 2.5 3.5 Countries 200+ 190+ Market Share 20% 60% Apart from its strategic value and global navigation function, BeiDou has gained wide practical application in modern farming. Key Agricultural Contributions of BeiDou (Latest Industry Data) ●Large-scale equipment popularization: As of 2024, more than 2.78 million BeiDou positioning devices have been equipped on all types of farming machines nationwide. Backed by over 5,000 domestic positioning base stations, a full digital management system covers ploughing, planting and harvesting. Thanks to government financial support, nearly 80,000 sets of BeiDou equipment gained purchase allowances in 2024, cutting farmers’ upgrade costs by 32%. ●Precision operation improvement: BeiDou-controlled driverless farm tools limit positioning error within 2 centimeters every kilometer. The accurate work prevents repeated seeding and missed planting, improving land utilization (利用) by 10%. Pilot farms improve crop planting density, raising seedling survival rate by over 7%. ●Economic output growth: Crops on BeiDou-guided farmland see a yield increase of over 15%. Targeted fertilization (施肥) cuts chemical use by around 15%. Unmanned work reduces human input by up to 60%. The average input-output ratio of pilot farmland hits 1:188, significantly raising farmers’ net earnings. Looking ahead, China will further upgrade BeiDou’s customized agricultural services by 2035, helping more regions boost agricultural productivity and achieve green and low-carbon agricultural development. 1.

Having found fame at a young age, with her personal life splashed over the papers, Taylor once suffered from severe alcohol addiction. After quitting drinking and settling down with her husband and four sons, she developed new health troubles. She put on much weight and gradually fell into the habit of overeating. Though she had a large appetite, she was actually poorly nourished, often feeling exhausted and lifeless. Her doctor suggested antidepressants, but she refused to take, and determined to fix her health problems through lifestyle changes on her own. At her husband’s urging, she looked into the work of Dave Asprey, who pioneered drinking “bulletproof coffee” with added fat for fuel. She had long believed fat led to weight gain, so she was shocked to feel energetic and mentally sharp after trying it. Inspired by the positive change, she researched further and overhauled her diet, going back to eating full fats, red meat and other ingredients to nourish her brain and hormones. Focusing on nutritional intake rather than strict diet control, she finally got rid of body inflammation (炎症) and constant food cravings, and recovered her mental health step by step. As she lost weight and regained vitality, numerous mothers tuned to her for practical diet guidance. She started an Instagram account to share her real lifestyle-adjustment experiences, attracting a large group of middle-aged women who encourage and learn from each other. She now has 1.3 million followers. Yet she rejects the title of influencer and never accepts paid advertisements. She refuses to push impractical lifestyles and insists on progress rather than perfection, delivering down-to-earth healthy living concepts to ordinary people. 4. What was Taylor’s trouble after giving up alcohol? A. She failed to get rid of drug addiction. B. She was dependent on medical treatment. C. She had no time to spend with her family. D. She suffered from weight gain and poor health. 5. What does the underlined word “overhauled” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Cut down sharply. B. Controlled strictly. C. Sorted out carefully. D. Changed thoroughly. 6. What can we learn about Taylor’s Instagram account? A. It brings her lots of advertisement income. B. It records her fight against alcohol addiction. C. It helps build a supportive female community. D. It recommends various strict weight-loss methods. 7. Which of the following best describes Taylor? A. Practical and principled. B. Profit-driven and patient. C. Persistent and economical. D. Easy-going and determined. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述泰勒戒酒后面临健康问题，通过彻底调整饮食恢复身心健康，并分享生活经验、传递务实健康生活理念的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After quitting drinking and settling down with her husband and four sons, she developed new health troubles. She put on much weight and gradually fell into the habit of overeating. Though she had a large appetite, she was actually poorly nourished, often feeling exhausted and lifeless.(在戒酒并与丈夫和四个儿子安定下来后，她出现了新的健康问题。她体重大幅增加，渐渐养成了暴饮暴食的习惯。虽然她食量很大，但实际上她营养不良，经常感到疲惫不堪、毫无活力)”可知，泰勒戒酒之后出现了体重增加、身体状况不佳的问题。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“She had long believed fat led to weight gain, so she was shocked to feel energetic and mentally sharp after trying it. Inspired by the positive change, she researched further and overhauled her diet, going back to eating full fats, red meat and other ingredients to nourish her brain and hormones.(她一直认为脂肪会导致体重增加，因此尝试后精力充沛、思维敏捷的状态让她十分震惊。受这一积极改变的启发，她进一步研究并overhauled自己的饮食，重新摄入全脂食物、红肉和其他食材来滋养大脑、调节激素)”可知，她推翻了以往的饮食认知，对饮食做出了彻底的改变。由此猜测overhauled意为“彻底改变”。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She started an Instagram account to share her real lifestyle-adjustment experiences, attracting a large group of middle-aged women who encourage and learn from each other.(她开设了一个照片墙账号，分享自己真实的生活调整经历，吸引了一大批互相鼓励、互相学习的中年女性)”可知，她的账号聚集了一群互助学习的女性，搭建起了互助的女性社群。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Yet she rejects the title of influencer and never accepts paid advertisements. She refuses to push impractical lifestyles and insists on progress rather than perfection, delivering down-to-earth healthy living concepts to ordinary people.(但她拒绝网红的头衔，从不接付费广告。她拒绝推广不切实际的生活方式，坚持循序渐进而非追求完美，向普通人传递接地气的健康生活理念)”可知，泰勒务实接地气，且坚守自身原则，不谋私利、坚守本心，务实且有原则。 C Between March and June, vast numbers of migratory (迁徙的) birds travel north along fixed North American migration flyways, routes they have relied on for thousands of years. Nevertheless, the rapid expansion of urban buildings constantly exposes migrating birds to irregular glowing light from building windows and outdoor lamps. Migratory birds often move at night, when they navigate using specialized cells that can sense Earth’s magnetic field and take visual cues from the faint light of the moon and stars. Unfortunately, artificial night light disrupts their natural navigation system. Not only do the birds lose their scheduled migration routes, but many also get trapped in areas with concentrated strong light. Official statistics show that roughly one billion birds die annually from struggling to move across artificially lit urban areas. For migratory bird populations already suffering sharp declines caused by climate change, habitat destruction and pesticide use, light pollution has evolved into another severe survival crisis. S. K. Winnicki, a scientist from Ohio State University, points out that unlike climate change, a massive threat that is difficult for individuals to reverse, overnight lighting problem is one we can effectively address. The number of migratory birds overhead varies according to what the weather is and where you are located along the fly way. But generally, the number reaches its peak between two and four hours after sunset in the spring and fall. During these times, the easiest way to help birds is to turn off unneeded lights at night and to close curtains or blinds to keep indoor light from leaking outside. And to lessen the harms of necessary outdoor lights, experts suggest making sure they are pointed downward or fitted with hoods to prevent them from shining up into the sky. Even with reduced night lights, urban areas still pose another hidden danger. Birds failing to leave cities before dawn tend to crash into transparent glass when searching for green spaces to rest. Unable to identify glass barriers while flying at full speed, they often suffer deadly injuries. To solve this daytime risk, experts recommend attaching outer markers to windows. Practical choices range from rows of dots pasted on windows to special ultraviolet (紫外线的) coatings visible to birds but invisible to human eyes. With all these hidden risks, urban light pollution proves to be a silent killer threatening birds throughout their migration journey, which also brings new research topics for scientists to explore. 8. What can we learn about the artificial light from paragraph 2? A. It strengthens the birds’ sensory cells. B. It enables the birds to follow the moon. C. It misleads the birds during their night journeys. D. It disturbs the birds’ observation of natural views. 9. What can be done to reduce light pollution? A. Painting windows with special coatings. B. Tuning off unneeded lights all year round. C. Directing outdoor lights straight up to the sky. D. Drawing curtains to stop indoor light leaking out. 10. Why do birds often fly into glass in cities? A. They are attracted by the dots. B. They fly too fast to spot objects ahead. C. They prefer resting on smooth surfaces. D. They fail to recognize glass as a barrier. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Migratory Birds Get Lost in Cities B. Light Pollution Harms Migratory Birds C. Hidden Risks in Modern City Buildings D. Practical Ways to Reduce Light Pollution 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍城市人工光污染干扰候鸟迁徙、威胁其生存，并列举了降低光污染、保护候鸟的有效应对方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Migratory birds often move at night, when they navigate using specialized cells that can sense Earth’s magnetic field and take visual cues from the faint light of the moon and stars. Unfortunately, artificial night light disrupts their natural navigation system. Not only do the birds lose their scheduled migration routes, but many also get trapped in areas with concentrated strong light.(候鸟通常在夜间迁徙，它们依靠特殊细胞感知地球磁场，并借助微弱的星月光线获取视觉线索来辨别方向。不幸的是，人工夜间光线扰乱了它们的自然导航系统。鸟类不仅会偏离既定的迁徙路线，还有许多鸟会困在强光集中的区域)”可知，人工光线会在候鸟夜间迁徙时误导它们，扰乱其导航。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“During these times, the easiest way to help birds is to turn off unneeded lights at night and to close curtains or blinds to keep indoor light from leaking outside.(在这些时段，帮助鸟类最简单的方法是夜间关闭不必要的灯光，并拉上窗帘或百叶窗，防止室内光线外泄)”可知，拉窗帘阻止室内光线外泄是减少光污染的可行办法。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Birds failing to leave cities before dawn tend to crash into transparent glass when searching for green spaces to rest. Unable to identify glass barriers while flying at full speed, they often suffer deadly injuries.(未能在黎明前离开城市的鸟类在寻找绿地休憩时，往往会撞上透明玻璃。鸟类全速飞行时无法识别玻璃障碍物，常常遭受致命伤害)”可知，鸟类撞上玻璃是因为无法将玻璃识别为障碍物。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nevertheless, the rapid expansion of urban buildings constantly exposes migrating birds to irregular glowing light from building windows and outdoor lamps.(然而，城市建筑的快速扩张持续让迁徙鸟类暴露在建筑窗户与户外灯具发出的不规则亮光之下)”；第三段“For migratory bird populations already suffering sharp declines caused by climate change, habitat destruction and pesticide use, light pollution has evolved into another severe survival crisis.(对于本就因气候变化、栖息地破坏、农药使用而数量锐减的候鸟种群而言，光污染已经演变为又一项严峻的生存危机)”；最后一段“With all these hidden risks, urban light pollution proves to be a silent killer threatening birds throughout their migration journey, which also brings new research topics for scientists to explore.(伴随着所有这些潜藏危险，城市光污染实为一种无声杀手，在鸟类整个迁徙途中威胁着它们，这也为科学家带来可供探究的全新研究课题)”可知，全文围绕城市人工光污染展开，阐述了光污染对候鸟迁徙、生存造成的严重危害，并介绍了对应的改善措施，核心主题为光污染危害候鸟。因此最佳标题是“光污染危害候鸟”。 D In the 1970s, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman raised a classic mathematical puzzle during a meal: whether to stick to one’s favorite dish or keep exploring new options. He worked out a solution immediately, yet his unclear handwriting hid the answer for decades. Recently, behavioral scientists have decoded his notes and confirmed his most desirable solution to the “stopping problem”. Published in PNAS, the new study aims to check Feynman’s early theory and figure out how ordinary people balance exploration and fixed choices in daily decision-making. Feynman’s puzzle focuses on a common dilemma for diners. He created a flexible threshold (阈值) rule for decision-making. The threshold starts high and drops gradually as remaining chances decrease. Early on, with plenty of attempts left, people should actively explore new possibilities to seek better choices. When chances become limited, settling for above-average options is more sensible. Later research improved this theory, finding that quality distribution also matters. If most local restaurants are of only average standard with only a few outstanding ones, people’s judgment threshold will change accordingly. To test the theory, researchers conducted an experiment with 2,520 participants. Participants were required to judge restaurant quality on a scale of 1 to 100 and decide whether to try a new restaurant or stick to their best previous choice. The results showed a consistent pattern: participants preferred to explore new options at the early stage and gradually lowered their expectations, choosing reliable favorites when time and chances ran out. Although participants did not follow the exact mathematical rule, their behaviors matched Feynman’s core principle perfectly. The study offers practical guidance for real-life decisions. It suggests people divide their choices into two stages. In the initial stage, they should stay open-minded and try new things instead of settling for ordinary options. In the later transition stage, it is wiser to give up endless exploration and stick to satisfying choices. This rule can apply to not only dining choices but also many daily decisions. Besides, the latest findings are highly consistent with previous mathematical research on human decision patterns. Lead researchers stressed in the report, “Feynman’s simple formula, though put forward decades ago, remains a powerful tool to explain human decision-making.” They added that future studies will combine various real-life scenes to improve the standard rule, making it more adaptable to complex and changeable human choices. 12. What is implied in paragraph 1? A. Feynman failed to solve the puzzle instantly. B. The new study overturns Feynman’s original theory. C. Feynman’s solution remained undiscovered for years. D. The new study focuses on practical dining instructions. 13. According to Feynman’s theory, what affects people’s decision? A. Their favorite dishes. B. The size of the menu. C. The quality of the service. D. Opportunities still available. 14. What suggestion does the study give about making decisions? A. Explore new things all the time. B. Try new options first then settle. C. Choose ordinary and safe options. D. Note quality differences among choices. 15. What do the researchers plan to do in future studies? A. Prove the reliability of Feynman’s theory. B. Apply the rule to academic research fields. C. Improve the rule in diverse real-life settings. D. Create new decision methods for daily dining. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了物理学家费曼提出抉择阈值理论，实验证实人们前期乐于探索、后期选择稳妥方案。该理论可指导日常决策，研究者计划结合多元生活场景完善这套决策模型。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He worked out a solution immediately, yet his unclear handwriting hid the answer for decades.(他立刻想出了一个解决方案，但潦草的字迹却让答案被隐藏了数十年)”可知，费曼的解法多年未被发现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The threshold starts high and drops gradually as remaining chances decrease.(阈值从高开始，随着剩余机会减少而逐渐降低)”可知，影响人们决策的因素是还有可供选择的机会。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the initial stage, they should stay open-minded and try new things instead of settling for ordinary options.(在初期阶段，他们应保持开放的心态，尝试新事物，而不是满足于普通的选择)”可知，这项研究建议先尝试新的选择，然后再做出决定。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They added that future studies will combine various real-life scenes to improve the standard rule, making it more adaptable to complex and changeable human choices.(他们还表示，未来的研究将结合多种现实生活场景，以改进标准规则，使其更适应复杂且不断变化的人类选择)”可知，研究人员未来的研究计划是改进在各种现实场景中的规则。 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。 For years, I didn’t understand why people enjoyed gardening until I swapped my busy city life for a quiet country life.

Earlier this spring, her class visited a local wildlife rescue center on a school field trip. Ms. Parker, one of the wildlife workers, introduced how injured and orphaned animals were cared for by trained staff. Birds received proper food and care, and young ones often practiced flying with others before being released into the wild. Jane found the talk fascinating, though she never imagined it would become relevant to her own life. One Saturday morning, Jane heard faint chirping (唧唧叫) coming from the balcony outside her bedroom. Looking out, she spotted a tiny robin (知更鸟) chick in a flower pot. It seemed to have fallen from a nearby nest. Jane and her mother waited for hours, hoping the mother bird would return, but she never showed up. Jane felt sorry for the tiny bird. Luckily, it looked healthy, and its fluffy feathers and cheerful chirps quickly won her heart. “Can we keep him for a few days?” she begged. Her mother hesitated. “We can try, but remember — we don’t know much about caring for wild birds, and our home may not be the best place for one.” Still, Jane was eager to help. At home, she and her mother turned an old aquarium (鱼缸) into a temporary nest. Then they put it on the living room table for observation. Jane carefully fed the chick worms and named him Chick-a-dude. The little robin ate and drank regularly each day, hopping around quietly in its makeshift home. Staring at the fluffy little creature, Jane was filled with delight. However, as time passed, doubts began to creep in. Neither Jane nor her mother had any experience caring for wild birds, and they often wondered whether they were meeting all of the chick’s needs. Things became even more difficult because of Misty, their large Labrador dog. Ever since Chick-a-dude arrived, Misty had watched the aquarium closely and barked whenever the chick moved. One afternoon, Jane was doing homework when loud barking suddenly erupted from the living room. Terrified, Chick-a-dude fluttered (振翅) wildly out of the aquarium as Misty jumped excitedly around him. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Alarmed, Jane rushed forward without hesitation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jane set off for the wildlife rescue center with Chick-a-dude. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Alarmed, Jane rushed forward without hesitation. Her heart pounded as she scooped Chick-a-dude up before he could fly any farther. Nearby, Misty was still barking excitedly and trying to follow the bird’s movements. “It’s okay. You’re safe now,” Jane whispered, gently holding the trembling chick. Looking at the frightened bird, Jane suddenly felt uneasy. Misty’s constant attention, the stress of keeping the chick indoors, and her own lack of experience all made her realize that their home might not be the right place for him. She talked with her mother about her concerns and finally made up her mind. The next morning, Jane set off for the wildlife rescue center with Chick-a-dude. When she got there, she was delighted to see Ms. Parker again. After hearing the story, she smiled warmly and assured Jane that they would take good care of the little bird. Seeing Jane’s worried expression, Ms. Parker patiently explained that Chick-a-dude would receive proper food, careful monitoring, and opportunities to practice flying with other young birds. Hearing this, Jane felt a deep sense of relief. Although she would miss his cheerful chirps, she finally understood that loving a wild animal did not mean keeping it close. Sometimes, it meant helping it return to where it truly belonged. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了简参观野生动物救助中心后，偶然捡到掉落鸟巢的知更鸟幼雏，和妈妈临时照料它。家中大狗惊扰小鸟，加上缺乏专业养护知识，简意识到自家不适合饲养。她忍痛将小鸟送往救助中心，也明白了爱野生动物不应私自圈养，而应让它回归自然。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写简意识到自家不适合饲养。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写简忍痛将小鸟送往救助中心，也明白了爱野生动物不应私自圈养，而应让它回归自然。 2.续写线索：捡起小鸟——感到不安——打算送走——送往救助中心——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳动：pound/race ②到达：get/arrive 情绪类 ①不安：uneasy/restless ②高兴：delighted/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her heart pounded as she scooped Chick-a-dude up before he could fly any farther.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] When she got there, she was delighted to see Ms. Parker again.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二期末考试试题 英语 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分，共9页，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的校名、姓名、考号、座位号等相关信息填写在答题卡指定区域内，并用2B 铅笔填涂相关信息。 2.选择题每小题选出答案后，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，再选涂其它答案；不能答在试卷上。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。 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 For decades, the world relied on the American GPS for navigation (导航). But that changed in 2020, when China completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System — the country’s first fully independent global positioning network. Built over 20 years at a cost of roughly $10 billion, BeiDou now operates 55 satellites in orbit, compared to GPS’s 31. The result? Positioning accuracy of 2.5 metres — sharper than GPS’s 3.5 metres. The table below compares key features of BeiDou and GPS. BeiDou CN GPS US Satellites 55 31 Accuracy(m) 2.5 3.5 Countries 200+ 190+ Market Share 20% 60% Apart from its strategic value and global navigation function, BeiDou has gained wide practical application in modern farming. Key Agricultural Contributions of BeiDou (Latest Industry Data) ●Large-scale equipment popularization: As of 2024, more than 2.78 million BeiDou positioning devices have been equipped on all types of farming machines nationwide. Backed by over 5,000 domestic positioning base stations, a full digital management system covers ploughing, planting and harvesting. Thanks to government financial support, nearly 80,000 sets of BeiDou equipment gained purchase allowances in 2024, cutting farmers’ upgrade costs by 32%. ●Precision operation improvement: BeiDou-controlled driverless farm tools limit positioning error within 2 centimeters every kilometer. The accurate work prevents repeated seeding and missed planting, improving land utilization (利用) by 10%. Pilot farms improve crop planting density, raising seedling survival rate by over 7%. ●Economic output growth: Crops on BeiDou-guided farmland see a yield increase of over 15%. Targeted fertilization (施肥) cuts chemical use by around 15%. Unmanned work reduces human input by up to 60%. The average input-output ratio of pilot farmland hits 1:188, significantly raising farmers’ net earnings. Looking ahead, China will further upgrade BeiDou’s customized agricultural services by 2035, helping more regions boost agricultural productivity and achieve green and low-carbon agricultural development. 1. According to the table, in which aspects is BeiDou better than GPS? A. Market share and number of satellites. B. Positioning accuracy and market share. C. Market share and number of countries served. D. Number of satellites and positioning accuracy. 2. How does BeiDou help improve farm work? A. Unmanned tools prevent missed planting. B. Planting density and labor input are raised. C.

A government report. C. A science fiction story. D. A technology magazine. B “Everything changed when I changed my relationship with food.” The actress-turned-blogger reveals how learning to eat differently transformed her and opened up a new career. Having found fame at a young age, with her personal life splashed over the papers, Taylor once suffered from severe alcohol addiction. After quitting drinking and settling down with her husband and four sons, she developed new health troubles. She put on much weight and gradually fell into the habit of overeating. Though she had a large appetite, she was actually poorly nourished, often feeling exhausted and lifeless. Her doctor suggested antidepressants, but she refused to take, and determined to fix her health problems through lifestyle changes on her own. At her husband’s urging, she looked into the work of Dave Asprey, who pioneered drinking “bulletproof coffee” with added fat for fuel. She had long believed fat led to weight gain, so she was shocked to feel energetic and mentally sharp after trying it. Inspired by the positive change, she researched further and overhauled her diet, going back to eating full fats, red meat and other ingredients to nourish her brain and hormones. Focusing on nutritional intake rather than strict diet control, she finally got rid of body inflammation (炎症) and constant food cravings, and recovered her mental health step by step. As she lost weight and regained vitality, numerous mothers tuned to her for practical diet guidance. She started an Instagram account to share her real lifestyle-adjustment experiences, attracting a large group of middle-aged women who encourage and learn from each other. She now has 1.3 million followers. Yet she rejects the title of influencer and never accepts paid advertisements. She refuses to push impractical lifestyles and insists on progress rather than perfection, delivering down-to-earth healthy living concepts to ordinary people. 4. What was Taylor’s trouble after giving up alcohol? A. She failed to get rid of drug addiction. B. She was dependent on medical treatment. C. She had no time to spend with her family. D. She suffered from weight gain and poor health. 5. What does the underlined word “overhauled” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Cut down sharply. B. Controlled strictly. C. Sorted out carefully. D. Changed thoroughly. 6. What can we learn about Taylor’s Instagram account? A. It brings her lots of advertisement income. B. It records her fight against alcohol addiction. C. It helps build a supportive female community. D. It recommends various strict weight-loss methods. 7. Which of the following best describes Taylor? A. Practical and principled. B. Profit-driven and patient. C. Persistent and economical. D. Easy-going and determined. C Between March and June, vast numbers of migratory (迁徙的) birds travel north along fixed North American migration flyways, routes they have relied on for thousands of years. Nevertheless, the rapid expansion of urban buildings constantly exposes migrating birds to irregular glowing light from building windows and outdoor lamps. Migratory birds often move at night, when they navigate using specialized cells that can sense Earth’s magnetic field and take visual cues from the faint light of the moon and stars. Unfortunately, artificial night light disrupts their natural navigation system. Not only do the birds lose their scheduled migration routes, but many also get trapped in areas with concentrated strong light. Official statistics show that roughly one billion birds die annually from struggling to move across artificially lit urban areas. For migratory bird populations already suffering sharp declines caused by climate change, habitat destruction and pesticide use, light pollution has evolved into another severe survival crisis. S. K. Winnicki, a scientist from Ohio State University, points out that unlike climate change, a massive threat that is difficult for individuals to reverse, overnight lighting problem is one we can effectively address. The number of migratory birds overhead varies according to what the weather is and where you are located along the fly way. But generally, the number reaches its peak between two and four hours after sunset in the spring and fall. During these times, the easiest way to help birds is to turn off unneeded lights at night and to close curtains or blinds to keep indoor light from leaking outside. And to lessen the harms of necessary outdoor lights, experts suggest making sure they are pointed downward or fitted with hoods to prevent them from shining up into the sky. Even with reduced night lights, urban areas still pose another hidden danger. Birds failing to leave cities before dawn tend to crash into transparent glass when searching for green spaces to rest. Unable to identify glass barriers while flying at full speed, they often suffer deadly injuries. To solve this daytime risk, experts recommend attaching outer markers to windows. Practical choices range from rows of dots pasted on windows to special ultraviolet (紫外线的) coatings visible to birds but invisible to human eyes. With all these hidden risks, urban light pollution proves to be a silent killer threatening birds throughout their migration journey, which also brings new research topics for scientists to explore. 8. What can we learn about the artificial light from paragraph 2? A. It strengthens the birds’ sensory cells. B. It enables the birds to follow the moon. C. It misleads the birds during their night journeys. D. It disturbs the birds’ observation of natural views. 9. What can be done to reduce light pollution? A. Painting windows with special coatings. B. Tuning off unneeded lights all year round. C. Directing outdoor lights straight up to the sky. D. Drawing curtains to stop indoor light leaking out. 10. Why do birds often fly into glass in cities? A. They are attracted by the dots. B. They fly too fast to spot objects ahead. C. They prefer resting on smooth surfaces. D. They fail to recognize glass as a barrier. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Migratory Birds Get Lost in Cities B. Light Pollution Harms Migratory Birds C. Hidden Risks in Modern City Buildings D. Practical Ways to Reduce Light Pollution D In the 1970s, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman raised a classic mathematical puzzle during a meal: whether to stick to one’s favorite dish or keep exploring new options. He worked out a solution immediately, yet his unclear handwriting hid the answer for decades. Recently, behavioral scientists have decoded his notes and confirmed his most desirable solution to the “stopping problem”. Published in PNAS, the new study aims to check Feynman’s early theory and figure out how ordinary people balance exploration and fixed choices in daily decision-making. Feynman’s puzzle focuses on a common dilemma for diners. He created a flexible threshold (阈值) rule for decision-making. The threshold starts high and drops gradually as remaining chances decrease. Early on, with plenty of attempts left, people should actively explore new possibilities to seek better choices. When chances become limited, settling for above-average options is more sensible. Later research improved this theory, finding that quality distribution also matters. If most local restaurants are of only average standard with only a few outstanding ones, people’s judgment threshold will change accordingly. To test the theory, researchers conducted an experiment with 2,520 participants. Participants were required to judge restaurant quality on a scale of 1 to 100 and decide whether to try a new restaurant or stick to their best previous choice. The results showed a consistent pattern: participants preferred to explore new options at the early stage and gradually lowered their expectations, choosing reliable favorites when time and chances ran out. Although participants did not follow the exact mathematical rule, their behaviors matched Feynman’s core principle perfectly. The study offers practical guidance for real-life decisions. It suggests people divide their choices into two stages. In the initial stage, they should stay open-minded and try new things instead of settling for ordinary options. In the later transition stage, it is wiser to give up endless exploration and stick to satisfying choices. This rule can apply to not only dining choices but also many daily decisions. Besides, the latest findings are highly consistent with previous mathematical research on human decision patterns. Lead researchers stressed in the report, “Feynman’s simple formula, though put forward decades ago, remains a powerful tool to explain human decision-making.” They added that future studies will combine various real-life scenes to improve the standard rule, making it more adaptable to complex and changeable human choices. 12. What is implied in paragraph 1? A. Feynman failed to solve the puzzle instantly. B. The new study overturns Feynman’s original theory. C. Feynman’s solution remained undiscovered for years. D. The new study focuses on practical dining instructions. 13. According to Feynman’s theory, what affects people’s decision? A. Their favorite dishes. B. The size of the menu. C. The quality of the service. D. Opportunities still available. 14. What suggestion does the study give about making decisions? A. Explore new things all the time. B. Try new options first then settle. C. Choose ordinary and safe options. D. Note quality differences among choices. 15. What do the researchers plan to do in future studies? A. Prove the reliability of Feynman’s theory. B. Apply the rule to academic research fields. C. Improve the rule in diverse real-life settings. D. Create new decision methods for daily dining. 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。 For years, I didn’t understand why people enjoyed gardening until I swapped my busy city life for a quiet country life.

Earlier this spring, her class visited a local wildlife rescue center on a school field trip. Ms. Parker, one of the wildlife workers, introduced how injured and orphaned animals were cared for by trained staff. Birds received proper food and care, and young ones often practiced flying with others before being released into the wild. Jane found the talk fascinating, though she never imagined it would become relevant to her own life. One Saturday morning, Jane heard faint chirping (唧唧叫) coming from the balcony outside her bedroom. Looking out, she spotted a tiny robin (知更鸟) chick in a flower pot. It seemed to have fallen from a nearby nest. Jane and her mother waited for hours, hoping the mother bird would return, but she never showed up. Jane felt sorry for the tiny bird. Luckily, it looked healthy, and its fluffy feathers and cheerful chirps quickly won her heart. “Can we keep him for a few days?” she begged. Her mother hesitated. “We can try, but remember — we don’t know much about caring for wild birds, and our home may not be the best place for one.” Still, Jane was eager to help. At home, she and her mother turned an old aquarium (鱼缸) into a temporary nest. Then they put it on the living room table for observation. Jane carefully fed the chick worms and named him Chick-a-dude. The little robin ate and drank regularly each day, hopping around quietly in its makeshift home. Staring at the fluffy little creature, Jane was filled with delight. However, as time passed, doubts began to creep in. Neither Jane nor her mother had any experience caring for wild birds, and they often wondered whether they were meeting all of the chick’s needs. Things became even more difficult because of Misty, their large Labrador dog. Ever since Chick-a-dude arrived, Misty had watched the aquarium closely and barked whenever the chick moved. One afternoon, Jane was doing homework when loud barking suddenly erupted from the living room. Terrified, Chick-a-dude fluttered (振翅) wildly out of the aquarium as Misty jumped excitedly around him. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Alarmed, Jane rushed forward without hesitation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jane set off for the wildlife rescue center with Chick-a-dude. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
