Artists such as Mark Gemmell, Domonique Brown, and Steven Brown create lively images of these famous Scottish animals through different styles — some realistic, some abstract, and some playful. Their works often show Scotland’s natural scenery and cultural traditions, making each painting a celebration of the region’s beauty. When choosing highland cow art for your home, consider the size and colors of the piece to ensure it fits well with your room. Whether you like detailed realism or striking abstraction, there is a style for everyone, adding special character to any space. Styles and Techniques Highland cow art covers a wide range of styles, from lifelike paintings to creative abstract works. Realistic techniques focus on careful details to show the texture (纹理) and personality of the cattle, while abstract methods use bright colors and imaginative shapes to create emotional effects. This variety not only shows the artists’ skill but also meets different personal tastes. Realistic Painting Approaches Creating lifelike paintings of highland cows requires excellent skills in layering (分层), blending (混合), and careful brushwork to truly capture their textures and expressions. Photorealism, one approach to realistic art, involves copying the animals with extreme precision, using special brush techniques to produce natural-looking textures and depth. To achieve this level of realism, artists must: first, carefully observe the animal’s body structure, colors, and proportions to ensure accuracy; second, apply multiple layers of paint to capture the complex details of fur and expressions; third, smoothly mix colors to create natural transitions and realistic shading. 21. What should be considered when choosing highland cow art for home decoration? A. The artist’s reputation and fame. B. The size and colors of the artwork. C. The historical value of the painting. D. The emotional effects of abstract styles. 22. What do realistic techniques in highland cow art emphasize? A. The emotional effects of the cattle. B. The imaginative shapes of the cattle. C. The texture and personality of the cattle. D. The bright colors of the cattle. 23. What is the first step in creating a photorealistic painting of highland cows? A. Studying the animal’s body structure closely. B. Mixing colors smoothly to create natural shading. C. Applying many layers of paint to capture details. D. Using special brushes to produce depth and texture. B At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 24. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 25. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 26. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. C A terrible flash flood and landslide occurred in Ridi village, Kangding, Sichuan province, China, early on Saturday morning. This disaster caused eight people to lose their lives and nineteen are still missing. The flood and mudslide damaged many houses and made a bridge on the Yakang Expressway fall down. Four cars with eleven people fell from the bridge when it broke. Sadly, two people died, one was rescued and taken to the hospital, and eight are still missing. In Ridi village, six people were found dead and eleven are still missing. The leader of Sichuan, Wang Xiaohui, quickly went to the disaster site on Sunday to supervise the rescue efforts. He said that the main goal is to search for and rescue the missing people and to reduce the number of people hurt. He also asked for more help for those affected by the disaster and to make sure they are moved to safe places. He urged for the damaged roads and bridges to be fixed as soon as possible. Over 1,500 people, 311 machines, and a helicopter are now searching for the missing people. Two weather stations are giving weather updates every hour to help with the rescue work. The government of Sichuan sent five doctors from important hospitals to help treat the injured. Wang Yunsheng, a professor, said that the disaster was caused by heavy rain and melting snow. The disaster happened in a very steep valley (山谷) near Ridi village. The warm weather made the snow and ice melt quickly, and the rain made the valley fill up and then break, causing the flash flood and landslide. This event reminds us of the power of nature and the need to be prepared for such disasters. 28. What happened when the bridge broke? A. 2 died, 8 missing. B. 6 died, 11 missing. C. 8 died, 19 missing. D. 1500 died, 311 missing. 29. Which of the following best describes the rescue efforts? A. Workable but slow. B. Quick and well-organized. C. Heroic and supportive. D. Accessible but unprepared. 30. What caused the disaster? A. Human activity. B. A long-term lack of rain. C. Weather and local geography. D. Change of the temperature. 31. What can be a suitable title of the text? A. Ridi Village Disaster: Power and Nature. B. Ridi Village Disaster: Loss and Recovery. C. Ridi Village Disaster: Trouble and Relief. D. Ridi Village Disaster: Damage and Rescue. D Not every famous singer is as lucky as Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, who is still active even at age 82. One study suggests that even with the protection of wealth, which is usually linked with a longer life, famous singers can expect to cut almost five years off their life expectancy (寿命). The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and built on previous research that had already suggested that famous singers pass away younger. It wanted to look at whether it was fame (名誉) itself or the singers’ lifestyles that were behind this. The researchers made a list of 324 famous singers who worked between 1950 and 1990. Then they matched those stars with a list of 324 less famous singers by when they were born, where they were from, and if they were part of a band or not. Nearly 60% of the singers were in bands, while close to 30% were solo (独唱的) singers, and the rest had spent parts of their careers both solo and in bands. When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk. The researchers said this makes stardom about as much a risk to health as occasionally smoking. The study also found that being part of a band could be protective, giving those singers a 26% lower death risk than solo singers. The researchers suggested that this could be because being part of a band means not having to deal with the pressure of being famous alone. 32. What was the study based on? A. Stars’ albums. B. Mick Jagger’s story. C. Previous research. D. An interview. 33. What did the researchers take into consideration when matching the singers? A. Their health condition. B. Their birth year. C. Their educational background. D. Their eating habits. 34. Which of the following has the closest meaning to “stardom” in paragraph 5? A. Being famous. B. A disease. C. Stars in the sky. D. Smoking. 35. What does the study find? A. Rock music is the most popular. B. Famous singers live unhealthily. C. Band members are under a lot of pressure. D. Well-known solo singers tend to have shorter lives. 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。 The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____36____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work? The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____37____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___38___ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____39____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. ___40___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool. A. It all depends on your character. B. Those are the risks you should jump to take. C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival. D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest. E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards. G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last summer, I volunteered at a wildlife rescue center in the mountains.

As I opened the door, the fox ____51____ for a second, then rushed into the woods. It stopped for a moment and looked back, as if saying ____52____. This experience ____53____ me deeply. Wild animals are not ____54____ to be troubled or harmed. They have the right to live safely in nature. It is our duty to protect them and keep the ____55____ of nature. Only in this way can we share this beautiful planet in harmony. 41. A. abandoned B. moved C. paid D. punished 42. A. calm B. painful C. active D. lazy 43.

Modern lifestyles, characterized by desk jobs and screen time, have led health experts to label sitting ___56___ “the new smoking.” When we remain ___57___ (seat) for more than eight hours daily, our bodies begin to function ___58___ (poor). The human body is designed to move. Sitting for hours causes the large leg muscles to remain inactive, ___59___ leads to reduced calorie burning and weaker blood circulation(循环).Fortunately, the ___60___ (solve) is simple: break up long periods of sitting with short movement breaks. A study from Columbia University revealed that those who took a five-minute walk every hour experienced ___61___ (few) negative effects than those who did not. Many companies are now redesigning their offices ___62___ ( encourage) movement. Some have installed treadmill desks; others provide reminders that flash on computer screens every hour. You can also try ___63___ simple trick: put your rubbish bin across the room, so you have to stand up to throw anything away. Remember, your body ___64___ (thank) you for every opportunity to move. Take the stairs instead of the lift, and stand up when you’re on the phone. These small adjustments, though seemingly ____65____ (significant), add up to better long-term health. 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华,你校外教Chris准备在校园内开展“Recycle for Change”项目,现就项目实施向大家征求建议,请你给外教写一封邮件,内容包括: 1. 表达意见; 2. 提出建议。 注意: 1. 词数应为80左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 The doorbell rang, and I looked up from the couch to see the last group to arrive. It was Cousin Joey, her husband, Finn, and their little daughter, Nova. I hadn’t seen them in a while. My father’s side of the family would have family gatherings every Saturday evening in my Granny’s place, but I hadn’t been attending them recently since it clashed with my part-time job as a barista (咖啡师). Granny also lived quite far away, so usually just my parents and my brother would go. This week, however, I had the day off. So here I was, meeting relatives I hadn’t seen for long. We were a big family. I had a bunch of cousins at least ten years older than me. A few of them, including Cousin Joey, had children. Little Nova was about four to five, the first great-grandchild and the youngest in the family. The next was me, with a 15-year gap. Having my brother was a blessing. When we were little, all cousins were young adults. Being the only two kids was overwhelming. My outgoing brother shared adults’ attention for me. But for Nova, all eyes were fixed on her. “Nova, say hello to Great Granny,” Joey pulled her arm. Nova frowned, looked down and stepped back. “Don’t be rude,” Joey insisted. Nova shook her head, hiding behind Joey’s legs. Finn grabbed her arm and pulled her forward. Adults kept urging her to be polite, some harsh and some gentle. Watching this, my palms grew sweaty. Nova looked close to tears, her frown so deep as if it could pinch a fly to death. After a long struggle, Nova whispered a greeting too quiet to hear. Then she was set free to a bedroom. The adults stayed in the living room. “Nova is just like Kristi, isn’t she?” my mom said. “You two are so shy and stubborn,” Joey added, staring at me. I forced an awkward smile. Mom began talking about how difficult I was as a kid. Seeing Nova brought back my unwanted bitter memories. I truly understood how she felt deep inside. 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。 Seeing that everyone was buried in their warm chat, I quietly walked towards the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at that moment, Joey came in, about to blame Nova for hiding again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 高二英语试卷 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) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频,请去附件查看】 Why does the man lose points?

B 【解析】 【原文】W: Thank you all for coming to this community meeting about the proposed expansion of the Miller Street parking lot. We’re here to listen to your feedback. Sir, you had your hand up? M: Yes, thank you. I’m John, I live on Oak Avenue, which borders the lot. My main concern is the loss of green space. The plan calls for the removal of twelve mature oak trees that provide crucial shade and habitat for birds. Surely, in this day and age, we can find a more environmentally sensitive solution than simply paving over a grove of healthy trees? W: I understand your concern, Mr. Davies. The need for additional parking is real, but perhaps we can explore a modified design. What if we used a permeable paving system that allows water to reach the roots of the remaining trees? We might not be able to save all twelve, but we could potentially integrate the lot around the most significant ones, preserving the canopy cover. M: That would be a significant improvement. I’d like to see that option studied seriously. W: Noted. We will include your suggestion and the request for a tree survey in the official minutes. The project team will need to evaluate the feasibility and cost. 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 Highland Cow Art Highland cow art has become increasingly popular for its unique combination of rural charm and artistic variety. Artists such as Mark Gemmell, Domonique Brown, and Steven Brown create lively images of these famous Scottish animals through different styles — some realistic, some abstract, and some playful. Their works often show Scotland’s natural scenery and cultural traditions, making each painting a celebration of the region’s beauty. When choosing highland cow art for your home, consider the size and colors of the piece to ensure it fits well with your room. Whether you like detailed realism or striking abstraction, there is a style for everyone, adding special character to any space. Styles and Techniques Highland cow art covers a wide range of styles, from lifelike paintings to creative abstract works. Realistic techniques focus on careful details to show the texture (纹理) and personality of the cattle, while abstract methods use bright colors and imaginative shapes to create emotional effects. This variety not only shows the artists’ skill but also meets different personal tastes. Realistic Painting Approaches Creating lifelike paintings of highland cows requires excellent skills in layering (分层), blending (混合), and careful brushwork to truly capture their textures and expressions. Photorealism, one approach to realistic art, involves copying the animals with extreme precision, using special brush techniques to produce natural-looking textures and depth. To achieve this level of realism, artists must: first, carefully observe the animal’s body structure, colors, and proportions to ensure accuracy; second, apply multiple layers of paint to capture the complex details of fur and expressions; third, smoothly mix colors to create natural transitions and realistic shading. 21. What should be considered when choosing highland cow art for home decoration? A. The artist’s reputation and fame. B. The size and colors of the artwork. C. The historical value of the painting. D. The emotional effects of abstract styles. 22. What do realistic techniques in highland cow art emphasize? A. The emotional effects of the cattle. B. The imaginative shapes of the cattle. C. The texture and personality of the cattle. D. The bright colors of the cattle. 23. What is the first step in creating a photorealistic painting of highland cows? A. Studying the animal’s body structure closely. B. Mixing colors smoothly to create natural shading. C. Applying many layers of paint to capture details. D. Using special brushes to produce depth and texture. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23.

His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 24. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 25. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 26. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. 【答案】24. D 25.

This disaster caused eight people to lose their lives and nineteen are still missing. The flood and mudslide damaged many houses and made a bridge on the Yakang Expressway fall down. Four cars with eleven people fell from the bridge when it broke. Sadly, two people died, one was rescued and taken to the hospital, and eight are still missing. In Ridi village, six people were found dead and eleven are still missing. The leader of Sichuan, Wang Xiaohui, quickly went to the disaster site on Sunday to supervise the rescue efforts. He said that the main goal is to search for and rescue the missing people and to reduce the number of people hurt. He also asked for more help for those affected by the disaster and to make sure they are moved to safe places. He urged for the damaged roads and bridges to be fixed as soon as possible. Over 1,500 people, 311 machines, and a helicopter are now searching for the missing people. Two weather stations are giving weather updates every hour to help with the rescue work. The government of Sichuan sent five doctors from important hospitals to help treat the injured. Wang Yunsheng, a professor, said that the disaster was caused by heavy rain and melting snow. The disaster happened in a very steep valley (山谷) near Ridi village.

One study suggests that even with the protection of wealth, which is usually linked with a longer life, famous singers can expect to cut almost five years off their life expectancy (寿命). The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and built on previous research that had already suggested that famous singers pass away younger. It wanted to look at whether it was fame (名誉) itself or the singers’ lifestyles that were behind this. The researchers made a list of 324 famous singers who worked between 1950 and 1990. Then they matched those stars with a list of 324 less famous singers by when they were born, where they were from, and if they were part of a band or not. Nearly 60% of the singers were in bands, while close to 30% were solo (独唱的) singers, and the rest had spent parts of their careers both solo and in bands. When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk. The researchers said this makes stardom about as much a risk to health as occasionally smoking. The study also found that being part of a band could be protective, giving those singers a 26% lower death risk than solo singers. The researchers suggested that this could be because being part of a band means not having to deal with the pressure of being famous alone. 32. What was the study based on? A. Stars’ albums. B. Mick Jagger’s story. C. Previous research. D. An interview. 33. What did the researchers take into consideration when matching the singers? A. Their health condition. B. Their birth year. C. Their educational background. D. Their eating habits. 34. Which of the following has the closest meaning to “stardom” in paragraph 5? A. Being famous. B. A disease. C. Stars in the sky. D. Smoking. 35. What does the study find? A. Rock music is the most popular. B. Famous singers live unhealthily. C. Band members are under a lot of pressure. D. Well-known solo singers tend to have shorter lives. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于知名歌手寿命的研究。研究发现,即使拥有财富,知名歌手的预期寿命仍比不太出名的歌手短近五年,且独唱歌手比乐队成员的死亡风险更高。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and built on previous research that had already suggested that famous singers pass away younger.(该研究发表在《流行病学与社区健康杂志》上,并建立在先前已有研究的基础上,那些研究已经表明知名歌手去世更早。)”可知,这项研究是基于之前的研究开展的。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then they matched those stars with a list of 324 less famous singers by when they were born, where they were from, and if they were part of a band or not.(然后他们根据出生时间、来自哪里以及是否属于乐队,将这些明星与324位不太出名的歌手进行匹配。)”可知,研究人员在匹配歌手时考虑了他们的出生年份。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk. The researchers said this makes stardom about as much a risk to health as occasionally smoking.(当大明星与不太出名的“双胞胎”相比时,他们的死亡风险高出33%。研究人员表示,这使得stardom对健康的危害与偶尔吸烟相当。)”可知,此处将stardom与偶尔吸烟对健康的危害作比较,说明stardom指的是“成名”这一状态,与Being famous意思相近。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk.(当把这些大明星与他们不那么出名的“双胞胎”进行比较时,发现他们的死亡风险高出33%。)”以及最后一段中的“The study also found that being part of a band could be protective, giving those singers a 26% lower death risk than solo singers.(研究还发现,成为乐队的一员可能具有保护作用,使这些歌手的死亡风险比独唱歌手低26%。)”可知,知名独唱歌手往往需要独自承受成名压力,倾向于拥有更短的寿命。 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。 The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____36____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work? The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____37____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___38___ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____39____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. ___40___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool. A. It all depends on your character. B. Those are the risks you should jump to take. C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival. D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest. E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards. G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation. 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢冒险的来源和科学依据,人们都喜欢冒险,因为风险也意味着回报,生活中人们喜欢做一些让别人意外和害怕的事,这和人的大脑有关. 【36题详解】 根据前文because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking.当我们衡量风险和回报时,风险值得去冒。根据后文Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.有些人喜欢做一些让别人意外和害怕的事。也就是说衡量风险的标准每个人都可能不一样.故F选项 “然而,我们并不是都使用相同的参考标准来衡量风险和回报”与上文为转折关系,且承接下文。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据前文Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring.喜欢冒险的人表现更优秀,这意味着他们有更大的机会生存下去。故C选项“这意味着他们有更大的机会生存下去”承接上文。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据前文So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it.也许你喜欢赛车,也许你不喜欢,这要依据你的性格。故A选项“这要依据你的性格”承接上文。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据前文scientists say that your Willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.科学家们指出冒险的意愿在年轻时会不断强烈。根据下文To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.为了帮你实现那些,大脑会不断增加你对新的经历的渴望。而这些是在你离开家庭,走进一个更大的世界的时候。故E选项“这些是在你离开家庭,走进一个更大的世界的时候”承接上下文。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据下文For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.不同的人的大脑在处理快乐和恐惧时表现也会不一样。故前面应该是说大脑的不同反应。故G选项“新的大脑研究表明,当我们面对紧张的情况时,我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作” 承接下文。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last summer, I volunteered at a wildlife rescue center in the mountains. It was a quiet place surrounded by trees and clear streams, where injured or ____41____ wild animals were taken care of. One morning, an elderly hunter brought in a little fox.

For weeks, I ____44____ the fox carefully. I cleaned its wound, gave it medicine and fresh food every day. At first, it would ____45____ whenever I came near. It clearly didn’t trust humans. But slowly, with my patience and care, it became less ____46____. One day, as I placed some fruit by its cage, it took a small step ____47____. It looked at me with bright eyes, without any sign of ____48____. At that moment, I realized how important it was to live in peace with wild creatures. When its leg fully ____49____, we decided to set it free. On the day of its ____50____, I carried the cage to the forest. As I opened the door, the fox ____51____ for a second, then rushed into the woods. It stopped for a moment and looked back, as if saying ____52____. This experience ____53____ me deeply. Wild animals are not ____54____ to be troubled or harmed. They have the right to live safely in nature. It is our duty to protect them and keep the ____55____ of nature. Only in this way can we share this beautiful planet in harmony. 41. A. abandoned B. moved C. paid D. punished 42. A. calm B. painful C. active D. lazy 43.

Modern lifestyles, characterized by desk jobs and screen time, have led health experts to label sitting ___56___ “the new smoking.” When we remain ___57___ (seat) for more than eight hours daily, our bodies begin to function ___58___ (poor). The human body is designed to move. Sitting for hours causes the large leg muscles to remain inactive, ___59___ leads to reduced calorie burning and weaker blood circulation(循环).Fortunately, the ___60___ (solve) is simple: break up long periods of sitting with short movement breaks. A study from Columbia University revealed that those who took a five-minute walk every hour experienced ___61___ (few) negative effects than those who did not. Many companies are now redesigning their offices ___62___ ( encourage) movement. Some have installed treadmill desks; others provide reminders that flash on computer screens every hour. You can also try ___63___ simple trick: put your rubbish bin across the room, so you have to stand up to throw anything away. Remember, your body ___64___ (thank) you for every opportunity to move. Take the stairs instead of the lift, and stand up when you’re on the phone. These small adjustments, though seemingly ____65____ (significant), add up to better long-term health. 【答案】56. as 57. seated 58. poorly 59. which 60. solution 61. fewer 62. to encourage 63. a 64. will thank 65. insignificant 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要阐述久坐如同吸烟一样对健康有害这一观点。 【56题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意:现代生活方式,以伏案工作和长时间看屏幕为特点,使得健康专家将久坐称为“新吸烟”。label...as...为固定搭配,意为“把……称为……”,所以此处填as。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意:当我们每天保持坐姿超过8小时,我们的身体开始机能下降。remain为系动词,后接形容词作表语,seat的形容词形式为seated,意为“坐着的”,remain seated表示“保持坐着的状态”。 【58题详解】 考查副词。句意:当我们每天保持坐姿超过8小时,我们的身体开始机能下降。此处修饰动词function,应用副词,poor的副词形式为poorly,意为“糟糕地,差劲地”,表示身体机能运作变差。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意:久坐数小时会导致腿部大块肌肉处于不活动状态,这会导致卡路里燃烧减少和血液循环减弱。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子“Sitting for hours causes the large leg muscles to remain inactive”,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意:幸运的是,解决办法很简单:用短暂的活动打破长时间的久坐状态。根据空前的the可知,此处应用名词作主语,solve的名词形式为solution,意为“解决办法”,是可数名词,根据谓语动词is可知,此处用单数形式。 【61题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意:哥伦比亚大学的一项研究表明,每小时步行5分钟的人比不这样做的人经历的负面影响更少。根据空后的than可知,此处应用形容词比较级,few的比较级为fewer,意为“更少的”,修饰可数名词复数effects。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意:现在许多公司正在重新设计他们的办公室以鼓励员工活动。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,表示重新设计办公室的目的是鼓励员工活动,所以用to encourage。 【63题详解】 考查冠词。句意:你也可以尝试一个简单的技巧:把垃圾桶放在房间的另一边,这样你就不得不站起来扔东西。此处表示泛指“一个简单的技巧”,simple是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。 【64题详解】 考查动词时态。句意:记住,每一个活动的机会,你的身体都会感谢你。根据语境,此处表示将来的情况,应用一般将来时,其结构为“will +动词原形”,所以用will thank。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意:这些小调整,虽然看似微不足道,但长期积累下来对健康有益。根据语境,此处表示“看似不重要”,应用形容词insignificant,意为“微不足道的,不重要的”,作表语。 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华,你校外教Chris准备在校园内开展“Recycle for Change”项目,现就项目实施向大家征求建议,请你给外教写一封邮件,内容包括: 1. 表达意见; 2. 提出建议。 注意: 1. 词数应为80左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, I was delighted to learn about your “Recycle for Change” initiative.

It was Cousin Joey, her husband, Finn, and their little daughter, Nova. I hadn’t seen them in a while. My father’s side of the family would have family gatherings every Saturday evening in my Granny’s place, but I hadn’t been attending them recently since it clashed with my part-time job as a barista (咖啡师). Granny also lived quite far away, so usually just my parents and my brother would go. This week, however, I had the day off. So here I was, meeting relatives I hadn’t seen for long. We were a big family. I had a bunch of cousins at least ten years older than me. A few of them, including Cousin Joey, had children. Little Nova was about four to five, the first great-grandchild and the youngest in the family. The next was me, with a 15-year gap. Having my brother was a blessing. When we were little, all cousins were young adults. Being the only two kids was overwhelming. My outgoing brother shared adults’ attention for me. But for Nova, all eyes were fixed on her. “Nova, say hello to Great Granny,” Joey pulled her arm. Nova frowned, looked down and stepped back. “Don’t be rude,” Joey insisted. Nova shook her head, hiding behind Joey’s legs. Finn grabbed her arm and pulled her forward. Adults kept urging her to be polite, some harsh and some gentle. Watching this, my palms grew sweaty. Nova looked close to tears, her frown so deep as if it could pinch a fly to death. After a long struggle, Nova whispered a greeting too quiet to hear. Then she was set free to a bedroom. The adults stayed in the living room. “Nova is just like Kristi, isn’t she?” my mom said. “You two are so shy and stubborn,” Joey added, staring at me. I forced an awkward smile. Mom began talking about how difficult I was as a kid. Seeing Nova brought back my unwanted bitter memories. I truly understood how she felt deep inside. 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。 Seeing that everyone was buried in their warm chat, I quietly walked towards the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at that moment, Joey came in, about to blame Nova for hiding again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Seeing that everyone was buried in their warm chat, I quietly walked towards the bedroom. I found Nova sitting on the floor, hugging her stuffed rabbit, eyes red with tears. I sat beside her and gave her a candy, the kind I used to hide in my pocket as a shy kid. “I used to hate these forced greetings too,” I whispered. She was slowly relaxed, letting me braid her hair with a colorful ribbon I found on the bed. Soon, she even began to tell me about her favorite cartoon character in a tiny voice. Just at that moment, Joey came in, about to blame Nova for hiding again. Before she could speak, I stood up and said softly, “She’s just shy, like I was at her age. She needs more time, not pressure.” Joey paused, then sighed and nodded in understanding. Later, the adults spoke to her gently, and by the end of the gathering, Nova even waved goodbye to everyone with a small, bright smile. That day, I realized how a little empathy could change everything for a shy child. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“我”的视角展开,讲述了在家庭聚会上,年幼的Nova因害羞不愿和长辈打招呼,被父母和大人反复催促,让“我”想起了自己小时候同样的经历,最终“我”主动走进房间,用共情的方式安慰Nova,并向她的妈妈解释孩子的心理,化解了尴尬的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写: ① 由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写“我”进入卧室后,如何以温柔的方式接近、安慰Nova,让她放下戒备。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写“我”如何向Joey解释Nova的害羞,以及这件事给“我”带来的感悟。 2.续写线索:悄悄走向卧室→用共情的方式安慰她→Joey进入房间准备责怪→“我”替Nova解释→Joey理解并改变态度→“我”获得感悟 3.词汇激活: 行为类 ① 拥抱:hug/clasp/hold in one’s arms ② 小声说:whisper/murmur 情绪类 ① 讨厌:hate/dislike/loathe ② 放松的:be relaxed/be calm/be at ease 【点睛】[高分句型 1] She was slowly relaxed, letting me braid her hair with a colorful ribbon I found on the bed. (运用了现在分词作状语及省略that的定语从句) [高分句型 2] That day, I realized how a little empathy could change everything for a shy child.
