This achievement is no small feat.Fewer than 50 climbers have completed all 14 climbs, and many have lost their lives attempting it.The extreme altitude,unpredictable weather, and risk of avalanches (make each climb a dangerous test of physical strength and 【高二英语第3页（共10页）】 mental determination. It Nima is a Sherpa.Sherpas are an ethnic group from Nepal famous for their climbing f skills.For decades,Sherpas have worked as guides,carrying heavy loads and fixing ropes for foreign climbers,yet their contributions often go unnoticed.Nima hopes his success will shine n a light on the Sherpa community and show that they can be world-class athletes,not just guides.Born into a family of mountaineers,Nima started climbing seriously at 16.He climbed his first 8,000er in 2022 and reached Qomolangma in 2024. His journey was not without tragedy.In 2023,an avalanche on Shishapangma killed four people,including his friend and teacher.Nima suspended his climb and joined rescue efforts. This year,when he finally stood on the summit,he said he was thinking of his friend.For Nima,climbing is not just about setting records."It's about who can suffer the most when times are the worst,"he said.His next goal is to be one of the best athletes in 弥 mountaineering.

C Wild elephants are a prime attraction in Asia,with Sri Lanka and India housing some of the world's last large populations of Asian elephants.However,a study led by a scientist at the University of California San Diego offers new warnings on the dangers of human interactions with wildlife.Assistant Professor Shermin de Silva of the School of Biological 【高二英语第4页（共10页）】 Sciences studies endangered Asian elephants and has reported on their decreasing living spaces,a change that has resulted in space-related conflicts between people and elephants. In Sri Lanka,de Silva studied 18 years of elephant-tourist interactions at Udawalawe National Park.She found that the elephants gathering near tourists at the park's southern edge had developed "begging"behavior and had become used to sugary foods,sometimes breaking through fences to continue being fed. As a result of elephants being drawn to the fence,several people have been killed or injured,and at least three elephants have been killed,while others have swallowed plastic food bags and other pollutants.Such close human-wildlife encounters,including tourists feeding animals from sightseeing vehicles,also increase the risk of disease spreading between 欧 humans and animals. "Many people,especially foreign tourists,think Asian elephants are gentle and easy to control,like domestic pets,"said de Silva."They don't realize these are dangerous wild animals and try to get too close in order to take photographs,which can end badly for both parties.” The researchers recognize that tourists are for the most part acting with good intentions, like people in many areas around the world who feed or leave food for wild animals in their regions.They may act from a desire that they are helping friends in nature and take satisfaction from such interactions. 封 "But this encourages wild animals to seek food from people,attracting them to areas that can put themselves or people at risk,"said de Silva."It can be a way for disease to pass between species.Such feeding can also cause animals to lose their ability to look for food for themselves if the behavior becomes common,especially with young animals." 28.What caused elephants to have conflicts with people? A.The rapid development of humans. B.The danger from elephants'nature. C.The reduction of elephants'habitats. D.The fight to acquire enough food. 线 29.What change has occurred to the elephants in Udawalawe National Park? A.They live with tourists. B.They attack the keepers. C.They ask tourists for food. D.They live on sugary foods. 30.What can we learn from de Silva's words in paragraph 4? A.Tourists think the elephants are unthreatening. B.Visitors keep a safe distance from the elephants. C.Taking photos of the elephants is against the rules. D.Wild elephants enjoy close contact with people. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 31.Which can be the best title for the text? A.Elephant Tourism in Sri Lanka B.Ways to Protect Asian Elephants C.The Gentle Nature of Asian Elephants D.The Danger of Feeding Wild Elephants D Most people have done it without thinking.You're trying to hear a quiet sound,so you shut your eyes,hoping it will help you focus.It feels natural,almost automatic.Cut out one sense,and sharpen another.That idea has been around for a long time.But that instinct doesn't always hold up,especially when the world gets loud.In busy,noisy settings,closing your eyes can actually make it harder to hear what matters.Instead of improving focus,it can push the brain in the wrong direction. To see what really happens,researchers designed a simple but telling experiment. Participants listened to sounds through headphones and background noise played at the same time.Their job was to adjust the volume until each sound became just audible(听得见的). The volunteers repeated this task under different visual conditions.Sometimes their eyes were closed.Other times,they looked at a blank screen. In later trials,the participants saw images related to the sounds,and finally,videos that matched what they were hearing.The differences were clear.The brain didn't respond to sound on its own.What people saw changed what they could hear. "We found that,unlike popular belief,closing one's eyes actually weakens the ability to detect these sounds,"said Huang,an expert in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University."On the contrary,seeing a moving video matching the sound significantly improves hearing ability." The participants struggled more when their eyes were closed,especially in noisy conditions.But when they watched something that matched the sound,their hearing improved.This wasn't a small shift.It showed that vision and hearing work together more closely than many people realize. The story changes in quieter settings.Without much background noise,closing your eyes can still help.In those moments,reducing what you see may allow the brain to focus more on very small sounds.But daily life rarely stays quiet.Traffic,conversations,machines,and constant movement fill most environments with noise.In those situations,keeping your eyes open may give the brain an edge. 32.What does the underlined word "instinct"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Nature. B.Consequence. C.Amazement. D.Intervention. 33.Why did researchers vary visual conditions in the experiment? A.To test the volunteers'eyesight. B.To compare impacts on hearing. 【高二英语第6页（共10页）】 C.To reduce the background noise. 第三 D.To simplify the experimental task. 第 34.What does Huang's statement indicate about hearing sensitivity? A.It has no relation to settings. B.It drops when eyes are closed. C.It improves without visual aids. D.It remains stable in all settings. the 35.What suggestion does the text imply for people in daily noisy life? A.Ignore visual information. B.Avoid machines and traffic. sc C.Close eyes to focus better. D.Keep eyes open to aid hearing. ba 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 te 选项。 There are some definitive benefits of working while you're getting a degree.One of them d is that you'll be earning a paycheck.36 It can prevent you from fully devoting yourself to p your studies.Fortunately,there are steps you can take to find the perfect balance between working and studying. 37 Get in the habit of keeping a weekly plan for yourself and ensure that you set aside time for your studies every day.This can be written in a paper calendar,or an electronic one.Change the study times to fit in with other commitments,including your job as well as exercise and social engagements.

I was watching TV in the living room.I glanced at the bag of lychees.They didn't look very good-small,not brightly colored,and some were even a bit dark. "Mom,these lychees don't look very nice,"I said casually. Mom didn't reply.She just quietly washed the lychees,put them in a fruit bowl,and placed the bowl on the coffee table. I picked one up and tasted it.It wasn't very sweet and didn't have much juice.I started 欧 complaining again."These lychees are not good at all.Where did you buy them?Don't go to that shop next time,.” Mom sat on the sofa and was silent for a moment.Then she said softly,"I saw the old lady selling them.She looked old,just like your grandma." I was suddenly speechless.The living room fell quiet.I just remembered that Grandma had been gone for more than a year.Mom didn't say anything more.She just picked up a lychee,slowly peeled it,put it in her mouth,and chewed carefully.Her eyes looked out of the window,as if she was thinking about something far away. I picked up a lychee too.I peeled it and put it in my mouth.This time,I didn't think about whether it was sweet or not.I just thought about that old lady selling lychees.Maybe she was just like Grandma-gray hair,a slightly bent back,sitting by the roadside keeping her small stall(摊位)，still having to make a living at her age. 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。 When Grandma was still alive,she also liked to sell things at roadside stalls. 线 Quietly finishing the lychees with Mom that afternoon,I finally understood her. ◇ 口 【高二英语第10页（共10页）】
