Sunnier days bring countrywide festivals, including Berlin’s Carnival of Culture (22-25 May) and Hamburg’s Port Anniversary, a lively riverside maritime festival (8-10 May). It’s also peak season for Germany’s delicious white asparagus, which appears on menus for eight weeks only. Bolivia Why now: Dry season and perfect conditions for hiking Timing is vital to make the most of Bolivia’s wildly differing landscapes. The start of the dry season in May is best for hiking the Andes without rainfall, exploring Lake Titicaca by boat and sightseeing in the sunshine in La Paz, the world’s highest capital city. Indonesia Why now: Low humidity and Ubud Food Festival Indonesia’s rice terraces, sandy beaches, coral reefs and cultural sites are all best seen in May, when the weather is hot, yet the humidity is manageable. Scale dramatic volcanoes on Java, snorkel in the clear waters of Flores and cool off in Bali’s waterfalls. Stay until the end of the month for markets and cooking demonstrations at the Ubud Food Festival (28-31 May). Cape Town, South Africa Why now: Low season and the city’s marathon May brings mild weather, great-value prices and quieter attractions in Cape Town, making it perfect for combining city sightseeing with chill hiking on Table Mountain. Grab a roadside spot to cheer on the Cape Town Marathon on 24 May or head to Franschhoek in the wine lands for the town’s acclaimed literary festival with workshops and special events (15-17 May). 1. What is recommended for tourists visiting Germany in May? A. Tasting local specialties. B. Attending food festivals. C. Hiking in the Black Forest. D. Joining a marine expedition. 2. According to the text, where should tourists go if they’re fond of sea explorations? A. Germany B. Bolivia C. Indonesia D. Cape Town 3. What do Bolivia and Cape Town have in common during May? A. They enter the dry season. B. They host cultural festivals. C. They’re ideal for hiking activities. D. They offer reasonable travel prices. B Last month, I opened my banking app, I read through the statement, and I stopped cold: $9.99 for Apple TV+, $12.99 for a fitness app I quit using months ago, $14.99 for extra cloud storage...I suddenly realized how modern consumer life is increasingly dominated by “background spending”. This spending model turns us into passive consumers. We easily forget subscriptions we rarely use, like paying for TV apps long after watching just one show. Companies prey on this consumer inattention. It’s estimated that our forgotten cancellations can boost a business’ profit by up to 200%. Such an environment encourages price rise, as service providers know customers are often too busy or lazy to cancel unused services. The rapid growth of subscription services is worrying. A 2025 survey of 2,500 consumers found the average person spends $273 monthly on subscriptions, a 15% increase from 2020. Yet not a single respondent knew their exact spending. Businesses find subscriptions highly attractive, and offer the promise of “sell once, earn forever” to encourage long-term customer loyalty. While these services have been around for decades, their access to consumers has grown significantly in recent years, fueled by the popularity of smartphones and the increasing home delivery. Despite the promised ease of these subscriptions, dissatisfaction is growing. A recent study found 40% of consumers believe they have too many subscriptions, and nearly half feel they overpay for streaming video, with a third actively planning to cut the expense. However, people still vastly underestimate their spending. Last year, consumer research found the actual average monthly spend was $219, which was over 2.5 times higher than 86 that people guessed. To help consumers regain control, the US Federal Trade Commission has proposed a “click to cancel” policy. This would legally require companies to make ending a subscription as easy as starting one on the smartphone — no more forcing members to cancel in person. Additionally, under this extra consumer protection, businesses would need to remind subscribers annually about their membership before these are automatically renewed. 4. Why does the author mention his banking statement? A. To stress bill-checking necessity. B. To present a consumption phenomenon. C. To show the popularity of online services. D. To complain about unnecessary expenses. 5. What does the underlined phrase “prey on” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Take advantage of. B. See eye to eye with. C. Care about. D. Depend on. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Ways to keep customer loyalty. B. Survey data on consumption habits. C. Reasons for forgetting cancellations. D. Driving factors of subscription services. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote the new cancel policy. B. To compare different subscription services. C. To reveal hidden spending and offer solutions. D. To warn consumers against subscription services. C Art can stand the test of time, and the lives of artists are the beating heart behind every masterpiece. Artists: Inspiring Stories of the World’s Most Creative Minds (2022), authored by Susie Hodge and part of the DK Explorers series, brings to life the untold human stories of over 50 brilliant artists — mixing art history, vivid storytelling, and beautiful pictures to inspire young readers. Unlike rigid art textbooks that focus merely on works and styles, this book highlights the humanity behind artworks, inviting readers to see art not just as distant paintings on walls, but as the product of bold, curious, and resilient (坚韧的) minds. DK’s signature visual style shines on every page: full-color artwork, clear timelines, and playful watercolor illustrations transform art history into an exciting adventure. What sets this book apart is its perfect balance of iconic names and underrepresented artists. Readers will not only journey alongside Renaissance masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, but also discover surprising talents like pattern artist Yinka Shonibare or cat-loving illustrator Louis Wain. Each story pulls back the canvas to show the raw human truth — the struggles and successes, the heartbreak and joy that shaped their groundbreaking works. Critics have praised this book as a wonderful choice for young art enthusiasts and uninterested readers alike. Publishers Weekly calls it a “brilliant, accessible introduction to art history” that uses DK’s famous visual style to make art’s human side unforgettable. The School Library Journal describes it as “colorful, conversational, and packed with personality,” noting how it weaves artists’ struggles into a story that feels like “peeking into their sketchbooks”. At its core, this book is about more than just art — it’s about the courage to create. As the book’s spirit reminds us, creativity lives in everyone, waiting to be developed. Whether readers are budding artists, curious learners, or simply lovers of inspiring stories, Artists invites them to see the world through curious eyes, embrace their unique creativity, and believe that every voice — and every brushstroke — has the power to change the world. 8. How does the book differ from art textbooks? A. It emphasizes creative art works. B. It attaches importance to artists’ humanity. C. It adopts academic writing techniques. D. It includes a great number of famous artists. 9. According to paragraph 2, what is the feature of the book? A. Its visual design style on every page. B. Its focus on masters of the Renaissance. C. Its mix of famous and less-known talents. D. Its detailed description of artists’ successes. 10. The author includes quotes from two magazines in paragraph 3 mainly to ______. A. provide expert opinions to support the book B. compare comments from professional critics C. prove the book is suitable for different readers D. describe the book’s visual design in great detail 11. What message does the last paragraph try to convey? A. Those born with artistic talent can change the world. B. Everyone has inner creativity that deserves to be explored. C. Art history deserves to be valued by young readers. D. Art is a good way to record personal struggles and joys. D Chinese researchers have developed a new approach to significantly enhance the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries (锂硫电池), a breakthrough that could one day enable drones (无人机) to fly much farther on a single charge. The study, recently published in the journal Nature, opens a new path toward longer-lasting, more powerful batteries for low-altitude aviation (飞行) and beyond. This advancement directly addresses the drawbacks of conventional batteries. Most drones currently rely on lithium-ion batteries, which are approaching their energy density limits. Their energy density — the amount of power stored per unit weight — typically stays below 300 watt-hours per kilogram, resulting in “range anxiety” that limits flight time. Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered a promising alternative due to their high theoretical energy density, as well as the abundance and low cost of sulfur. However, they have long faced a major practical challenge: during charge and discharge, sulfur undergoes complex chemical reactions that produce large amounts of soluble (可溶的) byproducts. These byproducts tend to drift away, slow down the reactions, and waste energy. A team led by Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (Tsinghua SIGS) has proposed a new solution by introducing a “premediator” for sulfur electrochemistry. “Think of it as a special additive that sleeps inside the battery until it is needed. When the sulfur reaction starts, the additive wakes up right where the action is and begins to work,” explained Zhou Guangmin, a researcher at Tsinghua SIGS. Once active, this additive attaches to the soluble byproducts and keeps them from drifting away. It also helps build fast lanes for the electrical reactions, making the whole process much smoother and more efficient, Zhou said. This breakthrough matters a lot for drones. Higher energy density means longer flight times, bigger payloads, and more working range. A delivery drone could fly farther to drop off packages. A power line inspection drone could cover more towers in one go. A search-and-rescue drone could stay in the air longer when every minute counts. 12. What is the function of the second paragraph? A. To compare different battery types. B. To explain the range anxiety of drones. C. To introduce chemical mechanism of batteries. D. To present the limitations of traditional batteries. 13. What prevented lithium-sulfur batteries from wide use? A. They failed to reach the theoretical standard. B. Unstable byproducts affected their performance. C. The charging process created a risk of explosion. D. The raw materials for production was rarely available. 14. How does the “premediator” work? A. It uses more stable materials instead of sulfur. B. It stays active to speed up chemical reactions. C. It prevents bad byproducts from being produced. D. It acts when reactions begin and sticks to byproducts. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Great Potential of Lithium-sulfur Batteries B. Wide Applications of Drones in Modern Life C. China Perfected the Ideal Battery for Drones D. Battery Breakthrough Extends Drone Flight Range 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 mental health benefits of being in nature have long been acknowledged, whether through activities like listening to birdsong or taking a walk in the park. While birdwatchers are often seen as boring, it turns out that birders have been onto something all along. A recent study shows that even half an hour of birdwatching could make us happier and healthier. ____16____ One reason is biophilia, the belief that humans have an inborn bond with nature. When we spend time in natural surroundings, this connection makes us feel good. Birdwatching, therefore, directly satisfies this innate need and improves our well-being. ____17____ Research suggests that biodiversity acts as a natural medicine for humans, helping to reduce stress and encourage physical activity. Areas with a greater variety of bird species tend to offer more significant health benefits. ____18____ Mindfully embracing pleasant feelings while birdwatching benefits well-being much more than mere casual participation. In a study, participants either counted birds they spotted or rated their joy at seeing each species. Both groups gained mental well-being, but those focusing on joy saw the most striking improvement. Birdwatching can be awesome as well as joyful. Research suggests that experiencing awe of nature can be transformational for human well-being. “Noticing” is an essential aspect of awe. ____19____ Being in nature and noticing wildlife requires us to put all our heart into the activity, which in turn improves mental and physical health. Another reason is that birdwatching can produce an experience of psychological flow. ____20____ When birdwatchers become fully absorbed in identifying bird species, understanding their behaviors, and observing their actions, they naturally enter the flow state and experience a rush of endorphins and a profound sense of satisfaction. So grab your binoculars, head into nature and go birdwatching. Enjoy the experience and cherish every moment. A. So why is birdwatching so good for us? B. Biodiversity plays an important role too. C. Birdwatching can boost overall well-being. D. Noticing wildlife helps us live in the present. E. It is a unique mental state of effortless engagement. F. Birdwatching also contributes to positive emotional gains. G. It means our full attention is on the birds rather than ourselves. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A few days ago, all our hard-won efforts nearly collapsed within hours.

Sunlight poured in through the windows, casting soft glimmers across the white tablecloths. Mia, an 11-year-old student, had just finished her school’s first-aid class and now sat in a corner, flipping through her notes from the lesson. Not far away, her mother was talking on the phone while sipping coffee. Laughter and clattering dishes filled the air. All of a sudden, an odd noise broke through the lively atmosphere. Mia lifted her head, filled with curiosity. A lady in a blue dress had been drinking fruit tea. Now she froze, her eyes wide. She couldn’t breathe, and panic flooded her face. She held her throat tightly with both hands — the exact universal sign of choking in Mia’s notebook. She tried to nod toward her fruit tea, then attempted to cough — but no sound escaped. A waiter passing by noticed and leaned in, confused. “You alright? Want some water?” She shook her head violently, tapping her chest in short bursts. But he just patted her back gently, thinking she’d swallowed wrong — unaware some hard food in the fruit tea was blocking her airway. Her face turned red, then purple, and she started to collapse forward. Mia’s heart raced. This was exactly like her first-aid lesson at school. Another waiter hurried over. The two stood there, one grabbing a water glass, the other reaching for his phone to call an ambulance, both panicking. Mia shot to her feet, her chair making a loud noise against the floor. “I know first aid!” she shouted. The waiters spoke nervously, too panicked to hear. She stepped closer, voice cracking with urgency, “I can help — I learned this in school!” They glanced at her, then turned back to the woman, ignoring the 11-year-old. The woman slid down in her chair, her lips fading to a sickly blue. Mia’s eyes fixed on the woman’s worsening condition. Every second felt like a lifetime — she had to act, and fast. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “She’s choking—let me help!” Mia shouted, pushing past onlookers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a sudden cough, the food was instantly forced out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 试卷类型：A 2025-2026学年第二学期期末教学质量监测 高二英语 2026.6 本试卷共10页，卷面满分130分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必在答题卡上用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔填写学校、班级、姓名、试室号、座位号及准考证号，并将条形码粘贴在条码粘贴区内。因笔试不考听力，选择题从第二部分的“阅读”开始，试题序号从“21”开始。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上将对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹的笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4．考生必须保证答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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 Where to travel in May Germany Why now: Festivals and asparagus season May’s warmer weather sees Germany’s beer gardens open and wildflowers bloom along walking trails in the Black Forest.

To reveal hidden spending and offer solutions. D. To warn consumers against subscription services. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍当下普遍存在的订阅隐性消费现象，分析该现象产生的原因、带来的问题并介绍美国监管机构出台的相关解决政策。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Last month, I opened my banking app, I read through the statement, and I stopped cold: $9.99 for Apple TV+, $12.99 for a fitness app I quit using months ago, $14.99 for extra cloud storage… I suddenly realized how modern consumer life is increasingly dominated by “background spending”(上个月，我打开银行App，翻阅账单时猛地停住了：9.99美元的Apple TV+、12.99美元的健身软件（我几个月前就不用了）、14.99美元的额外云存储……我突然意识到，现代消费生活正日益被“后台消费”所主导。)”可知，作者提及银行账单是为了引出“后台消费”这一现象，作为全文讨论的起点。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Companies prey on this consumer inattention. It’s estimated that our forgotten cancellations can boost a business’ profit by up to 200%.(商家prey on消费者的这种疏忽。据估计，我们忘记取消订阅能让企业利润提升高达200%。)”可知，商家是利用消费者的不注意来增加利润的，prey on在此意为“利用、占……的便宜”，与Take advantage of同义。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The rapid growth of subscription services is worrying.

While these services have been around for decades, their access to consumers has grown significantly in recent years, fueled by the popularity of smartphones and the increasing home delivery.(订阅服务的快速增长令人担忧。2025年一项针对2500名消费者的调查发现，人均每月在订阅服务上花费273美元，较2020年增长了15%。然而，没有一个受访者能准确说出自己的具体支出。企业发现订阅模式极具吸引力，并承诺“一次销售，永久获利”，以鼓励长期的客户忠诚度。尽管这类服务已存在数十年，但近年来，随着智能手机的普及和上门配送服务的增长，它们触达消费者的能力显著提升。)”可知，本段主要分析了订阅服务快速扩张的驱动因素，包括商业动机和技术环境。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。结合最后一段中“To help consumers regain control, the US Federal Trade Commission has proposed a “click to cancel” policy. This would legally require companies to make ending a subscription as easy as starting one on the smartphone — no more forcing members to cancel in person.(为帮助消费者重获控制权，美国联邦贸易委员会提出了“一键取消”政策。这将从法律上要求企业让终止订阅变得和在手机上开通订阅一样简单——不再强制会员亲自到场取消。)”并通读全文可知，作者首先揭示了被遗忘的订阅扣费这一隐性消费问题，接着分析了其背后的商业逻辑和社会原因，并引用数据说明问题的严重性，最后提出了“一键取消”的政策解决方案。因此，作者的写作目的是揭示隐性消费并提出对策。 C Art can stand the test of time, and the lives of artists are the beating heart behind every masterpiece. Artists: Inspiring Stories of the World’s Most Creative Minds (2022), authored by Susie Hodge and part of the DK Explorers series, brings to life the untold human stories of over 50 brilliant artists — mixing art history, vivid storytelling, and beautiful pictures to inspire young readers. Unlike rigid art textbooks that focus merely on works and styles, this book highlights the humanity behind artworks, inviting readers to see art not just as distant paintings on walls, but as the product of bold, curious, and resilient (坚韧的) minds. DK’s signature visual style shines on every page: full-color artwork, clear timelines, and playful watercolor illustrations transform art history into an exciting adventure. What sets this book apart is its perfect balance of iconic names and underrepresented artists. Readers will not only journey alongside Renaissance masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, but also discover surprising talents like pattern artist Yinka Shonibare or cat-loving illustrator Louis Wain. Each story pulls back the canvas to show the raw human truth — the struggles and successes, the heartbreak and joy that shaped their groundbreaking works. Critics have praised this book as a wonderful choice for young art enthusiasts and uninterested readers alike. Publishers Weekly calls it a “brilliant, accessible introduction to art history” that uses DK’s famous visual style to make art’s human side unforgettable. The School Library Journal describes it as “colorful, conversational, and packed with personality,” noting how it weaves artists’ struggles into a story that feels like “peeking into their sketchbooks”. At its core, this book is about more than just art — it’s about the courage to create. As the book’s spirit reminds us, creativity lives in everyone, waiting to be developed. Whether readers are budding artists, curious learners, or simply lovers of inspiring stories, Artists invites them to see the world through curious eyes, embrace their unique creativity, and believe that every voice — and every brushstroke — has the power to change the world. 8.

The study, recently published in the journal Nature, opens a new path toward longer-lasting, more powerful batteries for low-altitude aviation (飞行) and beyond. This advancement directly addresses the drawbacks of conventional batteries. Most drones currently rely on lithium-ion batteries, which are approaching their energy density limits. Their energy density — the amount of power stored per unit weight — typically stays below 300 watt-hours per kilogram, resulting in “range anxiety” that limits flight time. Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered a promising alternative due to their high theoretical energy density, as well as the abundance and low cost of sulfur. However, they have long faced a major practical challenge: during charge and discharge, sulfur undergoes complex chemical reactions that produce large amounts of soluble (可溶的) byproducts. These byproducts tend to drift away, slow down the reactions, and waste energy. A team led by Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (Tsinghua SIGS) has proposed a new solution by introducing a “premediator” for sulfur electrochemistry. “Think of it as a special additive that sleeps inside the battery until it is needed. When the sulfur reaction starts, the additive wakes up right where the action is and begins to work,” explained Zhou Guangmin, a researcher at Tsinghua SIGS. Once active, this additive attaches to the soluble byproducts and keeps them from drifting away. It also helps build fast lanes for the electrical reactions, making the whole process much smoother and more efficient, Zhou said. This breakthrough matters a lot for drones. Higher energy density means longer flight times, bigger payloads, and more working range. A delivery drone could fly farther to drop off packages. A power line inspection drone could cover more towers in one go. A search-and-rescue drone could stay in the air longer when every minute counts. 12. What is the function of the second paragraph? A. To compare different battery types. B. To explain the range anxiety of drones. C. To introduce chemical mechanism of batteries. D. To present the limitations of traditional batteries. 13. What prevented lithium-sulfur batteries from wide use? A. They failed to reach the theoretical standard. B. Unstable byproducts affected their performance. C. The charging process created a risk of explosion. D. The raw materials for production was rarely available. 14. How does the “premediator” work? A. It uses more stable materials instead of sulfur. B. It stays active to speed up chemical reactions. C. It prevents bad byproducts from being produced. D. It acts when reactions begin and sticks to byproducts. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Great Potential of Lithium-sulfur Batteries B. Wide Applications of Drones in Modern Life C. China Perfected the Ideal Battery for Drones D. Battery Breakthrough Extends Drone Flight Range 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍中国科研人员研发新型锂硫电池技术，解决传统电池短板，大幅延长无人机续航时间。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This advancement directly addresses the drawbacks of conventional batteries. Most drones currently rely on lithium-ion batteries, which are approaching their energy density limits.(这项进步直接解决了传统电池的缺陷。目前大多数无人机依靠锂离子电池，这类电池的能量密度已接近上限。)”可知，第二段主要阐述传统电池存在的局限。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, they have long faced a major practical challenge: during charge and discharge, sulfur undergoes complex chemical reactions that produce large amounts of soluble (可溶的) byproducts. These byproducts tend to drift away, slow down the reactions, and waste energy.(然而它们长期面临一大实际挑战：充放电时硫发生复杂化学反应，生成大量可溶性副产物，这些副产物易流失、拖慢反应并损耗能量。)”可知，不稳定副产物影响性能，阻碍锂硫电池普及。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A team led by Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (Tsinghua SIGS) has proposed a new solution by introducing a “premediator” for sulfur electrochemistry. “Think of it as a special additive that sleeps inside the battery until it is needed. When the sulfur reaction starts, the additive wakes up right where the action is and begins to work,” explained Zhou Guangmin, a researcher at Tsinghua SIGS. Once active, this additive attaches to the soluble byproducts and keeps them from drifting away.(由清华大学深圳国际研究生院（清华 SIGS）牵头的研究团队，通过引入一种硫电化学专用 “预介体”，提出了一套全新解决方案。 清华大学深圳国际研究生院研究员周光敏解释道：“你可以把它理解成一种特殊添加剂，它在电池内部处于休眠状态，直到有需要时才发挥作用。硫反应一经启动，这种添加剂便会在反应发生的原位被激活、立刻起效。”该添加剂活化后会附着在可溶性副产物上，避免其流失。)”可知，预介体在反应启动时起效并黏附副产物。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇点明中国研发改良锂硫电池的新技术，该突破能让无人机单次充电飞行更远，中间介绍传统电池缺陷、锂硫电池原有难题及新解决方案，末尾说明该技术对无人机续航的重大意义，核心是电池技术突破延长无人机飞行距离，所以标题为“电池突破延长无人机飞行距离”。 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 mental health benefits of being in nature have long been acknowledged, whether through activities like listening to birdsong or taking a walk in the park. While birdwatchers are often seen as boring, it turns out that birders have been onto something all along. A recent study shows that even half an hour of birdwatching could make us happier and healthier. ____16____ One reason is biophilia, the belief that humans have an inborn bond with nature. When we spend time in natural surroundings, this connection makes us feel good. Birdwatching, therefore, directly satisfies this innate need and improves our well-being. ____17____ Research suggests that biodiversity acts as a natural medicine for humans, helping to reduce stress and encourage physical activity. Areas with a greater variety of bird species tend to offer more significant health benefits. ____18____ Mindfully embracing pleasant feelings while birdwatching benefits well-being much more than mere casual participation. In a study, participants either counted birds they spotted or rated their joy at seeing each species. Both groups gained mental well-being, but those focusing on joy saw the most striking improvement. Birdwatching can be awesome as well as joyful. Research suggests that experiencing awe of nature can be transformational for human well-being. “Noticing” is an essential aspect of awe. ____19____ Being in nature and noticing wildlife requires us to put all our heart into the activity, which in turn improves mental and physical health. Another reason is that birdwatching can produce an experience of psychological flow. ____20____ When birdwatchers become fully absorbed in identifying bird species, understanding their behaviors, and observing their actions, they naturally enter the flow state and experience a rush of endorphins and a profound sense of satisfaction. So grab your binoculars, head into nature and go birdwatching. Enjoy the experience and cherish every moment. A. So why is birdwatching so good for us? B. Biodiversity plays an important role too. C. Birdwatching can boost overall well-being. D. Noticing wildlife helps us live in the present. E. It is a unique mental state of effortless engagement. F. Birdwatching also contributes to positive emotional gains. G. It means our full attention is on the birds rather than ourselves. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. F 19. G 20.

They are “playing” with screens instead of enjoying real outdoor activities. I feel alarmed to see how technology has taken the place of physical play. As I see, if disconnected from the real world and robbed of meaningful relationships with others, children may suffer from a lack of exercise, declining eyesight, and poor social skills. Therefore, we must take action to guide them to put down devices. Possible version 2 Put Down Screens, Pick Up Real Fun As the cartoon vividly depicts, five children are completely glued to their electronic devices right in front of a fully equipped playground. The ironic sign “CAUTION CHILDREN PLAYING” drives home the absurdity: they are “playing” with screens, not engaging in real outdoor play. It is distressing to witness how technology has disconnected children from the simple joys of outdoor activities. In my eyes, this picture is a wake-up call. Excessive screen time is robbing kids of the chance to run, laugh, and connect with peers and nature. It’s high time we guided them to put down devices, step outside, and rediscover the joy of physical activity and face-to-face interactions. 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生描述时事漫画内容并发表个人见解，用于校内英文报专栏征稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 沉迷于：be absorbed in → be addicted to 代替：take the place of → replace 遭受：suffer from → undergo 下降，减少：decline → decrease 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Therefore, we must take action to guide them to put down devices. 拓展句：Therefore, it is high time that we took immediate action to guide them to put down their devices so that they can embrace a healthier lifestyle. 【点睛】【高分句型1】As is vividly shown in the picture, all the children are absorbed in their electronic devices, even though a playground with swings and a basketball hoop is right behind them.

Sunlight poured in through the windows, casting soft glimmers across the white tablecloths. Mia, an 11-year-old student, had just finished her school’s first-aid class and now sat in a corner, flipping through her notes from the lesson. Not far away, her mother was talking on the phone while sipping coffee. Laughter and clattering dishes filled the air. All of a sudden, an odd noise broke through the lively atmosphere. Mia lifted her head, filled with curiosity. A lady in a blue dress had been drinking fruit tea. Now she froze, her eyes wide. She couldn’t breathe, and panic flooded her face. She held her throat tightly with both hands — the exact universal sign of choking in Mia’s notebook. She tried to nod toward her fruit tea, then attempted to cough — but no sound escaped. A waiter passing by noticed and leaned in, confused. “You alright? Want some water?” She shook her head violently, tapping her chest in short bursts. But he just patted her back gently, thinking she’d swallowed wrong — unaware some hard food in the fruit tea was blocking her airway. Her face turned red, then purple, and she started to collapse forward. Mia’s heart raced. This was exactly like her first-aid lesson at school. Another waiter hurried over. The two stood there, one grabbing a water glass, the other reaching for his phone to call an ambulance, both panicking. Mia shot to her feet, her chair making a loud noise against the floor. “I know first aid!” she shouted. The waiters spoke nervously, too panicked to hear. She stepped closer, voice cracking with urgency, “I can help — I learned this in school!” They glanced at her, then turned back to the woman, ignoring the 11-year-old. The woman slid down in her chair, her lips fading to a sickly blue. Mia’s eyes fixed on the woman’s worsening condition. Every second felt like a lifetime — she had to act, and fast. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “She’s choking—let me help!” Mia shouted, pushing past onlookers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a sudden cough, the food was instantly forced out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “She’s choking—let me help!” Mia shouted, pushing past onlookers. She quickly positioned herself behind the woman. Remembering her first - aid training, she placed one foot slightly in front of the other for balance. Then, she wrapped her arms around the woman’s waist, making a fist with one hand and placing it just above the woman’s navel. With a quick and firm upward thrust, she applied pressure. The woman’s body jolted, but the blockage remained. Mia repeated the action, her face set with determination. The waiters watched, still skeptical but no longer stopping her. With a sudden cough, the food was instantly forced out. The woman gasped for air, her chest heaving. Color rushed back to her face, and she turned to look at Mia, eyes filled with gratitude. The onlookers burst into applause. The waiters, now in awe of the young girl, apologized for doubting her. Mia smiled shyly. She had just saved a life using what she learned in school. Her mother, who had rushed over, hugged her tightly, beaming with pride. Mia realized that first - aid knowledge was not just words in a notebook but a powerful tool that could make a real difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，描述了在伦敦一家热闹的餐厅里，11 岁的米娅刚上完急救课，正翻看笔记。此时，一位女士喝水果茶时被噎住，情况危急，服务员未能正确处理，米娅虽表明会急救却被忽视，女士状况愈发糟糕，米娅必须立刻采取行动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写米娅对女士的急救过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写堵塞的食物被咳出，女士满怀感激看向米娅，服务员为之前的怀疑道歉以及米娅的感悟。 2.续写线索：米娅挤过人群——实施急救——重复动作——女士咳出异物——女士感激—— 众人反应——母亲拥抱——米娅领悟意义。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②挤过：push past/elbow one's way through 情绪类 ①怀疑的：skeptical /doubtful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Remembering her first - aid training, she placed one foot slightly in front of the other for balance.（运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语） 【高分句型 2】Mia realized that first - aid knowledge was not just words in a notebook but a powerful tool that could make a real difference.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句，且从句中包含 that 引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
