They were bird-watching and came around a bend in a thickly wooded area when there it was: a five-foot-tall mound, standing upward like a large stalagmite (石笋). Arndt wanted to investigate more closely, but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that. The air felt thick and sharp, discomforting his nose. “All my life,” he says, “I could remember the smell.” Several years later, Arndt moved to the countryside. He continued his fascination with the mounds and their armies of tiny engineers. Outfitted with a high-resolution camera, he began photographing the mounds and sharing his imagery with researchers for a scientific perspective. It turned out the mound makers were indeed special. They were red wood ants — one of the smallest of all so-called keystone species. Keystone species such as elephants and sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared, it would struggle to adapt. Researchers also explained the smell from the mound. As the insects build a nest, they generate formic acid (蚁酸), the origin of the smell, which helps to fight against enemies. But in recent decades, the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging, urbanization, and wildfires, as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with climate change. This has led several countries across the ants’ range, including Germany, to enlist them as a protected species by law. Today Arndt’s photos put on display that as social insects, these small ants not only form complex societies, but they also cohabitate with a wide variety of species, creating a mass of coexisting relationships across a variety of plant and animal species. They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures, we are actually protecting ourselves. 4. How was Arndt’s first encounter with the ant mound? A. It reminded him of a bad experience. B. It left him an unforgettable memory. C. It aroused his enthusiasm for nature. D. It inspired him to protect the forests. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The wooded area. B. The mound maker. C. The keystone species. D. The entire ecosystem. 6. What contributed to the decrease in the number of ants? A. Their worsened habitats. B. Their changing behavior. C. Their severe competition. D. Their limited population. 7. What is the text mainly intended to tell us? A. Massive lives exist on earth. B. Tiny species count in nature. C. Social creatures live in groups. D. Little ants are master architects. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过Arndt的经历和对红木蚁的研究，强调了这些微小物种在自然界中的重要性，尤其是它们对生态系统的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Arndt wanted to investigate more closely, but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that. The air felt thick and sharp, discomforting his nose. “All my life,” he says, “I could remember the smell.”(Arndt想更仔细地调查，但一种非常特殊的气味让他重新考虑。空气中味道浓厚，使他的鼻子感到不舒服。“在我的一生中，”他说，“我都记得那种味道。”)”可知，Arndt对蚁丘的气味留下了深刻的印象，这段经历给他留下了难忘的记忆。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Keystone species such as elephants and sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared, it would struggle to adapt.(大象和鲨鱼等关键物种受到密切关注，因为它们的行为会影响生态系统的许多方面，如果它们消失，it将难以适应)”可知，大象和鲨鱼等关键物种的行为影响生态系统的许多方面，如果它们消失，整个生态系统将会很难适应，所以，划线代词it指的是上文提到的生态系统。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But in recent decades, the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging, urbanization, and wildfires, as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with climate change.(但近几十年来，由于森林受到伐木、城市化、野火以及干旱和高温的影响，蚂蚁的数量一直在下降，而干旱和高温随着气候变化而变得更加频繁)”可知，蚂蚁数量的减少是由于森林砍伐、城市化、野火、干旱和气温升高等因素导致的栖息地恶化。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。全文通过Arndt的经历和对红木蚁的研究，强调了这些微小物种在自然界中的重要性，尤其是它们对生态系统的影响。最后一段提到“They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures, we are actually protecting ourselves.(它们也提醒我们，通过保护这些不被注意的生物，我们实际上是在保护自己。)”进一步点明了保护微小物种的意义。故选B项。 C Researcher Ruijia Hu said wildlife habitat in crowded places like south went Ohio is becoming increasingly fragmented (分散) as forests give way to new construction. Eventually, this could make trouble to an animal with specific habitat needs like Ohio’s pileated (红冠) woodpecker. Pileated woodpeckers have the nickname carpenter birds for their never-ending natural woodworking. They peck out holes in trees for their nests every year, creating lots of valuable homes for animals like fox squirrels and owls. “They make new nests every year. They won’t reuse old ones,” Hu said. “Other animals depend on them.” Pileated woodpeckers are private birds that are more often heard than seen. Studying them can be especially difficult. So Hu turned to citizen science for help. To identify where woodpeckers have been seen, she used eight years of sightings collected by birders and logged into the website eBird, a free online tool and app that anyone can use to record their observations and locations. She overlaid these sightings with remote sensing data and found that corridors along rivers and creeks with abundant mature trees and deadwood helped the birds adjust to their increasingly fragmented urban landscape. “With fragmented forests, many habitats that were once suitable for wildlife are broken up,” Hu sa id. “Wildlife is unable to find habitat big enough to meet their survival needs. And even if there are suitable habitats, the distance between them can be too great. Wildlife corridors link up these habitat patches. Since wildlife can travel and migrate from one patch to another, the probability of finding food and shelter is higher.” “There are so many species in urban areas that we don’t pay attention to, especially when they’re not considered vulnerable,” Hu said. “With development chipping away at more forest in this crowded county, the tipping point (临界点) could come quickly and unexpectedly. You can’t fix it overnight. It’s not just about planting more trees. The birds need mature forest, so it could take 30 to 50 years to replace their habitat. At least we can protect these riverside forest corridors and see that existing trees reach maturity.” 8. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. The magpie’s nest is occupied by the dove. B. Birds abandon the old for the new easily. C. Friendship really exists among animals. D. One’s trash is another treasure. 9. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The effect of Hu’s study on birds. B. The process of Hu’s research. C. The difficulty Hu had in his study. D. The application of technology. 10. What role do wildlife corridors play for birds? A. Helping them survive in the fragmented landscape. B. Making them adjust to deadwood quickly. C. Providing them with enough food for survival. D. Ensuring them a stable and safe habitat. 11. What does Hu imply in the last paragraph? A. One tree doesn’t make a forest. B. Be wise after the event. C. Prepare for a rainy day. D. Take things as they come. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了随着森林被新的建筑所取代，野生动物栖息地正变得越来越分散，最终，这可能会给有特定栖息地需求的动物带来麻烦，比如俄亥俄州的红冠啄木鸟。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They peck out holes in trees for their nests every year,creating lots of valuable homes for animals like fox squirrels and owls. “They make new nests every year. They won’t reuse old ones,” Hu said. “Other animals depend on them.” (它们每年都在树上啄洞筑巢，为狐狸、松鼠和猫头鹰等动物创造了许多宝贵的家园。“它们每年都筑巢。他们不会重复使用旧的。”“其他动物依赖它们。”)”可知，红冠啄木鸟每年都在树上啄洞筑巢，但它们不会重复使用旧的，可以被其他动物利用，所以可推出D项“One’s trash is another treasure. (一个人的垃圾是另一个人财富)”。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Pileated woodpeckers are private birds that are more often heard than seen. Studying them can be especially difficult. So Hu turned to citizen science for help. To identify where woodpeckers have been seen, she used eight years of sightings collected by birders and logged into the website eBird, a free online tool and app that anyone can use to record their observations and locations. She overlaid these sightings with remote sensing data and found that corridors along rivers and creeks with abundant mature trees and deadwood helped the birds adjust to their increasingly fragmented urban landscape. (红冠啄木鸟是一种私人鸟类，经常听到的声音比看到的要多。研究它们尤其困难。因此，胡向公民科学寻求帮助。为了确定啄木鸟出现的地点，她使用了8年来观鸟者收集的观测数据，并登录了eBird网站，这是一个免费的在线工具和应用程序，任何人都可以使用它来记录自己的观察结果和位置。她将这些观测结果与遥感数据叠加在一起，发现河流和小溪沿岸有大量成熟树木和枯木的走廊有助于鸟类适应日益分散的城市景观)”可知，本段主要讲述了胡的研究过程。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Wildlife is unable to find habitat big enough to meet their survival needs. And even if there are suitable habitats, the distance between them can be too great. Wildlife corridors link up these habitat patches. Since wildlife can travel and migrate from one patch to another, the probability of finding food and shelter is higher. (野生动物无法找到足够大的栖息地来满足它们的生存需求。即使有合适的栖息地，它们之间的距离也可能太大。野生动物走廊连接着这些栖息地。由于野生动物可以从一个地方迁徙到另一个地方，所以找到食物和住所的可能性更高)”可知，野生动物走廊帮助动物在支离破碎的环境中生存。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““There are so many species in urban areas that we don’t pay attention to, especially when they’re not considered vulnerable,” Hu said. “With development chipping away at more forest in this crowded county, the tipping point could come quickly and unexpectedly. You can’t fix it overnight. It’s not just about planting more trees. The birds need mature forest, so it could take 30 to 50 years to replace their habitat. At least we can protect these riverside forest corridors and see that existing trees reach maturity.” (他说：“城市地区有很多物种我们都没有注意到，尤其是当它们不被认为是脆弱的时候。在这个人口稠密的县里，随着发展对更多森林的蚕食，临界点可能会迅速而意外地到来。你不可能一夜之间修好它。这不仅仅是种更多的树。这些鸟需要成熟的森林，所以可能需要30到50年的时间来取代它们的栖息地。至少我们可以保护这些河边的森林走廊，并看到现有的树木成熟。”)”可知，此处胡暗示，我们不能等问题出现了才去采取行动，那样就太晚了，我们需要未雨绸缪。故选C项。 D In Hangzhou’s Linping District, a friendly AI assistant named “Little Rainbow” is quietly changing how citizens interact with the government. Powered by DeepSeek-R1, an advanced Chinese AI model, this system handles over 1,000 daily inquiries — from explaining policies to guiding paperwork — with 95% accuracy. Imagine needing to apply for a student scholarship but feeling lost in complicated rules. With “Little Rainbow”, citizens simply ask questions in natural language, like chatting with a friend. The AI instantly analyzes policies, provides step-by-step guidance, and even fills out forms automatically. For elderly people unfamiliar with smartphones, it offers voice-based assistance, such as helping them manage health code systems during the pandemic. This “one-stop service” saves time and reduces confusion, making government services more accessible. “Little Rainbow” relies on two key technologies: natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. The NLP allows it to understand various questions-whether typed or spoken. Meanwhile, its machine learning algorithms (算法) improve through real-world interactions. For example, if a user asks, “How do I report a broken streetlight?” the system not only answers but also learns to predict similar requests in the future. To ensure reliability, engineers trained the AI using thousands of real cases, covering topics from tax payments to school admissions. Surprisingly, the system can even detect emotional tones in messages. When a user writes, “I’m frustrated with this process!”, “Little Rainbow” responds with patience and extra clear explanations. Hangzhou’s “Little Rainbow” is more than a convenience — it’s a window into an AI-driven world. As this technology spreads, it challenges us to adapt, innovate, and think critically about its impact.

Sometimes there was even a stray (走失的) dog or two, It they were tamed (驯服), Grandpa would try to find homes for them. One day, when I came home from school, I was surprised to see Grandma sitting alone drinking coffee. “Where’s Grandpa?” I asked. “Oh, he’s in the basement working on an old stray cat. The cat is badly burned, but you know your grandpa. He’s determined to cure that old cat.” I headed for the basement and hurried over to see if I could help. Grandpa turned to me and managed a weak smile. “Not very pretty, is he?” he said softly. I couldn’t answer. I had never seen anything so horrible. The cat’s face was badly burned and his tail was missing. The cat just lay trembling in Grandpa’s arms. “Is he going to die?” I whispered. “Not if I can help him,” Grandpa said with tears in his eyes. “Grandpa, even if he lives, he’s going to be so ugly,” I said. “So what?” Grandpa said harshly. “Would you love me less if I were burned and became ugly?” “Of course not,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说) . “Are you sure?” he asked and stared at me. “You know, I’ve always been told not to judge a book by its cover. Do you know what that mean?” “Yes. But Mom always wants me to look pretty,” I argued. “All the most popular people at school are pretty.” “That’s for now,” he explained. “Now is what young people think about, but now isn’t all there is to life. Animals don’t care who’s popular and who’s not. What animals care about is staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and food to keep them from being hungry.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 For the next month, Grandpa and I took care of the injured cat every day. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to that cat, he changed my attitude to life. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 For the next month, Grandpa and I took care of the injured cat every day. We cleaned his wounds gently, applied medicine, and fed him with a dropper. Gradually, the cat started to improve. He began to purr softly when Grandpa stroked his fur, and his eyes, though still a bit cloudy, showed signs of life. I found myself looking forward to our daily sessions, even though the cat’s appearance was still far from pretty. Grandpa’s unwavering dedication taught me that beauty wasn’t just skin deep; it was in the kindness and care we showed to others. Thanks to that cat, he changed my attitude to life. I realized that true beauty lay not in outward appearances but in the qualities of kindness, empathy, and compassion. I stopped worrying so much about what others thought of me and started focusing more on being a good person. I learned to appreciate the simple things in life, like the warmth of a smile or the sound of a cat’s purr. That old stray cat, once so battered and burned, became a symbol of hope and resilience in my heart, reminding me that even in the darkest of times, there was always light to be found. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者和爷爷救助一只被严重烧伤的流浪猫，并通过这一经历改变了作者对美的看法的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的一个月里，爷爷和我每天都在照顾受伤的猫。”可知，第一段可描写作者和爷爷如何照顾这只受伤的猫，以及在这个过程中作者对美的观念开始发生变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“多亏了那只猫，他改变了我对生活的态度。”可知，第二段可描写作者因为这只猫而改变了对生活的态度，开始更加关注内在美，并学会了欣赏生活中的简单事物。 2.续写线索： 救助受伤猫咪 ——每日护理细节——猫咪状态改 ——作者的观念动摇——理解内在美的意义——价值观的转变——猫咪成为生命启示 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①上药：apply medicine/put on medicine/administered medication ②专注：focus on/concentrate on/pay attention to ③欣赏：appreciate/admire 情绪类 ①奉献：dedication→commitment ②希望：hope/optimism/aspiration 【点睛】 【高分句型1】He began to purr softly when Grandpa stroked his fur, and his eyes, though still a bit cloudy, showed signs of life.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】I realized that true beauty lay not in outward appearances but in the qualities of kindness, empathy, and compassion.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二下学期期末考试 英语试卷 时间：120分钟 分数：150分 试卷说明：试卷共两部分：第一部分：选择题型（1—55题95分） 第二部分：非选择题型（56—67题55分） 第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共95分） 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） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Wildlife photographer Ingo Arndt discovered his first enormous ant mound (蚁丘) as a child exploring the forest with his father near their home almost 50 years ago. They were bird-watching and came around a bend in a thickly wooded area when there it was: a five-foot-tall mound, standing upward like a large stalagmite (石笋). Arndt wanted to investigate more closely, but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that. The air felt thick and sharp, discomforting his nose. “All my life,” he says, “I could remember the smell.” Several years later, Arndt moved to the countryside. He continued his fascination with the mounds and their armies of tiny engineers. Outfitted with a high-resolution camera, he began photographing the mounds and sharing his imagery with researchers for a scientific perspective. It turned out the mound makers were indeed special. They were red wood ants — one of the smallest of all so-called keystone species. Keystone species such as elephants and sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared, it would struggle to adapt. Researchers also explained the smell from the mound. As the insects build a nest, they generate formic acid (蚁酸), the origin of the smell, which helps to fight against enemies. But in recent decades, the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging, urbanization, and wildfires, as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with climate change. This has led several countries across the ants’ range, including Germany, to enlist them as a protected species by law. Today Arndt’s photos put on display that as social insects, these small ants not only form complex societies, but they also cohabitate with a wide variety of species, creating a mass of coexisting relationships across a variety of plant and animal species. They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures, we are actually protecting ourselves. 4. How was Arndt’s first encounter with the ant mound? A. It reminded him of a bad experience. B. It left him an unforgettable memory. C. It aroused his enthusiasm for nature. D. It inspired him to protect the forests. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The wooded area. B. The mound maker. C. The keystone species. D. The entire ecosystem. 6. What contributed to the decrease in the number of ants? A. Their worsened habitats. B. Their changing behavior. C. Their severe competition. D. Their limited population. 7. What is the text mainly intended to tell us? A. Massive lives exist on earth. B. Tiny species count in nature. C. Social creatures live in groups. D. Little ants are master architects. C Researcher Ruijia Hu said wildlife habitat in crowded places like south went Ohio is becoming increasingly fragmented (分散) as forests give way to new construction. Eventually, this could make trouble to an animal with specific habitat needs like Ohio’s pileated (红冠) woodpecker. Pileated woodpeckers have the nickname carpenter birds for their never-ending natural woodworking. They peck out holes in trees for their nests every year, creating lots of valuable homes for animals like fox squirrels and owls. “They make new nests every year. They won’t reuse old ones,” Hu said. “Other animals depend on them.” Pileated woodpeckers are private birds that are more often heard than seen. Studying them can be especially difficult. So Hu turned to citizen science for help. To identify where woodpeckers have been seen, she used eight years of sightings collected by birders and logged into the website eBird, a free online tool and app that anyone can use to record their observations and locations. She overlaid these sightings with remote sensing data and found that corridors along rivers and creeks with abundant mature trees and deadwood helped the birds adjust to their increasingly fragmented urban landscape. “With fragmented forests, many habitats that were once suitable for wildlife are broken up,” Hu sa id. “Wildlife is unable to find habitat big enough to meet their survival needs. And even if there are suitable habitats, the distance between them can be too great. Wildlife corridors link up these habitat patches. Since wildlife can travel and migrate from one patch to another, the probability of finding food and shelter is higher.” “There are so many species in urban areas that we don’t pay attention to, especially when they’re not considered vulnerable,” Hu said. “With development chipping away at more forest in this crowded county, the tipping point (临界点) could come quickly and unexpectedly. You can’t fix it overnight. It’s not just about planting more trees. The birds need mature forest, so it could take 30 to 50 years to replace their habitat. At least we can protect these riverside forest corridors and see that existing trees reach maturity.” 8. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. The magpie’s nest is occupied by the dove. B. Birds abandon the old for the new easily. C. Friendship really exists among animals. D. One’s trash is another treasure. 9. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The effect of Hu’s study on birds. B. The process of Hu’s research. C. The difficulty Hu had in his study. D. The application of technology. 10. What role do wildlife corridors play for birds? A. Helping them survive in the fragmented landscape. B. Making them adjust to deadwood quickly. C. Providing them with enough food for survival. D. Ensuring them a stable and safe habitat. 11. What does Hu imply in the last paragraph? A. One tree doesn’t make a forest. B. Be wise after the event. C. Prepare for a rainy day. D. Take things as they come. D In Hangzhou’s Linping District, a friendly AI assistant named “Little Rainbow” is quietly changing how citizens interact with the government. Powered by DeepSeek-R1, an advanced Chinese AI model, this system handles over 1,000 daily inquiries — from explaining policies to guiding paperwork — with 95% accuracy. Imagine needing to apply for a student scholarship but feeling lost in complicated rules. With “Little Rainbow”, citizens simply ask questions in natural language, like chatting with a friend. The AI instantly analyzes policies, provides step-by-step guidance, and even fills out forms automatically. For elderly people unfamiliar with smartphones, it offers voice-based assistance, such as helping them manage health code systems during the pandemic. This “one-stop service” saves time and reduces confusion, making government services more accessible. “Little Rainbow” relies on two key technologies: natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. The NLP allows it to understand various questions-whether typed or spoken. Meanwhile, its machine learning algorithms (算法) improve through real-world interactions. For example, if a user asks, “How do I report a broken streetlight?” the system not only answers but also learns to predict similar requests in the future. To ensure reliability, engineers trained the AI using thousands of real cases, covering topics from tax payments to school admissions. Surprisingly, the system can even detect emotional tones in messages. When a user writes, “I’m frustrated with this process!”, “Little Rainbow” responds with patience and extra clear explanations. Hangzhou’s “Little Rainbow” is more than a convenience — it’s a window into an AI-driven world. As this technology spreads, it challenges us to adapt, innovate, and think critically about its impact. For young learners, understanding AI isn’t just about coding; it’s about shaping a future where technology serves humanity’s best interests. 12. What is “Little Rainbow”? A. An AI handling public inquiries. B. An AI replacing office workers. C. A tool developing new algorithms. D. A tool analyzing user data trends. 13.
