Leanne Fan developed the Finsen Headphones, a low-cost headphone device that uses machine learning and blue light therapy (疗法) to detect and treat mid-ear infections (感染) in children — potentially preventing up to 60% of hearing loss in children. The world sees 700 million cases of mid-ear infections every year. Fan hopes that this can be an effective and low-cost treatment option for the thousands who are affected. Fan was inspired to create the headphones three years ago while learning about Niels Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize in 1903 after inventing light therapy to treat bacterial (细菌的) infections. “I thought, ‘This is an amazing idea, and I can apply it to something else in my daily life,’” Fan said. Fan took home the top prize, earning the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” and $25,000. She is planning to use some of the prize money to start the patent process for the headphones. Fan is optimistic that the Finsen Headphones will be able to help people in the near future. “Being part of the 3M Young Scientist Challenge was absolutely the best part of my year,” Fan said. “I could meet scientists that are my age and going for their dreams too, and made some friends.” She hopes to inspire other girls who want to become inventors. “Even a small idea can go far,” she said. “I had an idea to use blue light to kill bacteria and three years later, I’m here.” 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cost of the headphone device. B. The process of blue light therapy. C. The description of the headphones. D. The cases of mid-ear infections. 5. What inspired Leanne Fan to create the headphones? A. Her own daily life. B. Her desire for the Nobel Prize. C. The facts of bacterial infections. D. Niels Finsen’s invention of light therapy. 6. Which of the following can best describe Fan? A. Outgoing. B. Patient. C. Creative. D. Hardworking. 7. What can we learn from Fan’s story? A. Even a small idea can go far. B. Many hands make light work. C. Roses given, fragrance in hand. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了一位来自加州的14岁女孩Leanne Fan在2022年3M青年科学家挑战赛中荣获大奖，她发明的芬森耳机使用机器学习和蓝光疗法来检测和治疗儿童中耳炎，有望预防高达60%的儿童听力损失。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Leanne Fan developed the Finsen Headphones, a low-cost headphone device that uses machine learning and blue light therapy (疗法) to detect and treat mid-ear infections (感染) in children(Leanne Fan开发了Finsen耳机，这是一种低成本的耳机设备，使用机器学习和蓝光疗法来检测和治疗儿童中耳感染)”可知，第二段主要描述了Fan发明的Finsen Headphones的特点和功能，因此，该段主要是描述这款耳机。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fan was inspired to create the headphones three years ago while learning about Niels Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize in 1903 after inventing light therapy to treat bacterial (细菌的) infections.( 三年前，Fan在了解Niels Finsen时受到启发，他发明了治疗细菌感染的光疗，于1903年获得诺贝尔奖。)”以及本段中“This is an amazing idea, and I can apply it to something else in my daily life(这是一个神奇的想法，我可以把它应用到我日常生活中的其他事情上)”可知，Fan在了解Niels Finsen用光疗治疗细菌感染并获得诺贝尔奖后，想到了将这一理念应用到她的日常生活中，从而发明了耳机。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Leanne Fan developed the Finsen Headphones, a low-cost headphone device that uses machine learning and blue light therapy (疗法) to detect and treat mid-ear infections (感染) in children(Leanne Fan开发了Finsen耳机，这是一种低成本的耳机设备，使用机器学习和蓝光疗法来检测和治疗儿童中耳感染)”可知，Fan是一个有创造力的人，她开发了使用机器学习和蓝光疗法来检测和治疗中耳炎的耳机。这表明她具有创新思维和解决问题的能力，因此最能描述她的词是C选项“Creative”（有创造力的）。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Even a small idea can go far,” she said. “I had an idea to use blue light to kill bacteria and three years later, I’m here.”(“即使是一个很小的想法也可以走得很远，”她说。“我有一个想法，用蓝光杀死细菌，三年后，我在这里。”)”可知，通过Fan的话，表明了即使是一个小小的想法，只要有勇气和努力，也可以取得很大的成就。A选项“Even a small idea can go far.( 即使是一个小想法也能走得很远。)”符合题意。故选A。 C Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important. Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and many new skills to make her dreams a reality. “One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”. During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and food -all of which she documents on TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes. Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve, ”she says. 8. Why did Anna Sacks leave New York? A. To learn how to grow food. B. To pursue a more meaningful life. C. To realize her dream as a volunteer. D. To accept the invitation from a program. 9. What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program? A. The significance of trash walking. B. The hard truth of consumer culture. C. The sustainable food people produced. D. The way people there dealt with the waste. 10. What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash? A. The tax refund. B. The tax reduction. C. The overproduction. D. The poor quality of goods. 11. What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story? A. Consumer culture accounts for wasting. B. Corporate trash outweighs residential trash. C. Turning to farming leads to sustainable living. D. Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Anna Sacks的个人生活故事。她曾在纽约一家银行工作，虽然生活幸福但感觉缺乏重要性。她参加了农业项目Adamah，学习可持续生活和种植可持续食物，这改变了她的生活目标和技能，同时她开始关注消费文化带来的损害，并通过拣选垃圾来展示这个问题。她希望引起人们对于过度购买和浪费的关注，从而引发改变。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important.( 2010年代中期在纽约一家银行工作的Anna Sacks并没有过上她想要的生活。当然，她很高兴。但她想做点有意义的事)”以及第二段“Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food.(一些寻求人生意义的人可能会读一本自助书籍，或者每周做几个小时的志愿者。Sacks结束了她的生活，搬到了康涅狄格州，参加了一个专注于可持续生活和种植可持续食物的农业项目Adamah)”可知，Anna Sacks离开纽约是因为她想过有意义的生活。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says.( 她说：“Adamah让我印象深刻的是，他们产生的废物很少，而且他们是如何处理废物的，主要是通过堆肥。”)”可知，那里的人们处理废物的方式给Anna Sacks留下了最深的印象。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says.(事实是，公司经常选择丢弃物品而不是把它们送给可能需要它们的人。Sacks说，造成这种浪费的一个重要原因是我们现行税法的结构方式)”以及“Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded.(损坏货物的卖家可以将损失作为税收损失，并获得退款)”可知，退税让公司更愿意把商品当垃圾扔掉。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve, ”she says.( Sacks的主要重点是让人们注意到他们买了多少不必要的东西，然后扔掉了。她说：“一旦你意识到自己的消费方式，你就能看到自己改善的方法。”)”以及通读全文可知，Anna Sacks的故事告诉我们，消费文化导致了过度生产、过度消费和大量的浪费。A选项“消费文化造成了浪费”符合题意。故选A。 D Chinese researchers have built an ocean carbon recycling system for capturing oceanic carbon dioxide and turning it into succinic acid, a chemical used to make biodegradable plastic. The system extracted carbon dioxide from Shenzhen Bay’s seawater for more than 530 hours continuously, recording a 70% carbon capture efficiency. The project was led by Gao Xiang and Xia Chuan from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, respectively. The cost was just 230 dollars per metric ton of CO2, matching the leading carbon capture technologies in the market today. Firstly, seawater is sent to a 5-chamber electrochemical reactor (五室电化学反应器), where the electric field causes water splitting. The protons (质子) acidify in one chamber while changing dissolved carbonate species into gaseous CO2, which is then separated through a hollow-fibre membrane (中空纤维膜) and sent to a second reactor. In the reactor, a kind of catalyst (催化剂 ) reduces the CO2 into formic acid (蚁酸). After this, a sort of marine bacterium changes the formic acid into succinic acid. The modular (模块化的) nature of this system means it can be repurposed to produce several kinds of chemicals, enabling the transformation of oceanic carbon into market-ready materials. The system is not only useful for making plastics but could also be used to decrease the burden on land-based methods to achieve the same. It will help in turning CO2 to high-value products, which drive a low-carbon economy. According to researchers, integrating the system with offshore renewable energy sources, like wind or tidal power, could make the process more efficient and sustainable. Oceans absorb around one-third of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, and this system could change its role from being a passive sink to an active participant in finding a solution to the climate problem. 12. Why have the researchers built the ocean carbon recycling system? A. To generate electricity from seawater. B. To collect sea CO2 for a valuable chemical. C. To explore deep sea biological resources. D. To detect hidden ocean carbon waste. 13. What does the third paragraph mainly focus on? A. The technical process. B. The working principle. C. The CO2 data collection. D. The reactor equipment. 14. What does the underlined words “the same” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Boosting economic development. B. Producing chemicals. C. Decreasing CO2 emissions. D. Making plastics. 15. What can be inferred about the system in the passage? A. It barely integrates with existing technologies. B. It owns broad application prospect. C. It sustains offshore energy output. D. It balances global climate. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国研究人员开发的一种海洋碳回收系统，该系统能从海水中捕获二氧化碳并将其转化为琥珀酸，用于制造可生物降解塑料。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Chinese researchers have built an ocean carbon recycling system for capturing oceanic carbon dioxide and turning it into succinic acid, a chemical used to make biodegradable plastic. (中国研究人员建造了一种海洋碳回收系统，用于捕获海洋中的二氧化碳并将其转化为琥珀酸，这是一种用于制造可生物降解塑料的化学物质。)”可知，研究人员建造该系统的目的是收集海水中的CO₂并将其转化为有价值的化学品。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Firstly, seawater is sent to a 5-chamber electrochemical reactor (五室电化学反应器), where the electric field causes water splitting. The protons ( 质子) acidify in one chamber while changing dissolved carbonate species into gaseous CO2, which is then separated through a hollow-fibre membrane (中空纤维膜) and sent to a second reactor. In the reactor, a kind of catalyst (催化剂 ) reduces the CO2 into formic acid (蚁酸 ). After this, a sort of marine bacterium changes the formic acid into succinic acid. (首先，海水被送入一个五室电化学反应器中，电场作用下水分子发生分解。质子在某一腔室中使溶液酸化，同时将溶解的碳酸盐转化为气态二氧化碳；随后该气体通过空心纤维膜分离并输送至第二个反应器。在反应器中，一种催化剂将二氧化碳还原为甲酸。随后，某种海洋细菌将甲酸转化为琥珀酸。)”可知，该段按步骤详细描述了系统的技术流程。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The system is not only useful for making plastics but could also be used to decrease the burden on land-based methods to achieve the same. (该系统不仅可用于制造塑料，还可以用来减轻陆地方法实现同样目标的负担。)”可知，“the same”指代的是前文提到的“making plastics (制造塑料)”。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The modular (模块化的) nature of this system means it can be repurposed to produce several kinds of chemicals, enabling the transformation of oceanic carbon into market-ready materials. (该系统的模块化特性意味着它可以被重新用于生产多种化学品，使海洋碳转化为可市场化的材料。)”以及最后一段中“According to researchers, integrating the system with offshore renewable energy sources, like wind or tidal power, could make the process more efficient and sustainable. (研究人员指出，将该系统与海上可再生能源（如风能或潮汐能）相结合，可使整个过程更加高效且可持续。)”可知，该系统具有广泛的应用前景。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In Jingdezhen, known as China’s capital of porcelain, a quiet change is taking place.

G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了景德镇不再仅售卖瓷器，还推出亲手制瓷体验。自制瓷器饱含独特情感，游客能学习传统工艺，这类体验助力当地文旅发展，传承陶瓷文化。 【16题详解】 根据上文“In Jingdezhen, known as China’s capital of porcelain, a quiet change is taking place. The city now offers visitors more than just finished porcelain products. (在被誉为“中国瓷器之都”的景德镇，正在发生着悄然的变化。如今，这座城市为游客提供的已不再仅仅是成品瓷器，还包含更多的内容。)”可知，第一段点明景德镇现在给游客提供的不只有成品瓷器，后文紧接着开始介绍游客亲自制瓷的完整流程。B选项“它邀请游客创作属于自己的瓷器”承接上文，引出下文的手作体验，符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The experience follows a clear process guided by skilled artisans. Visitors first roll the clay to remove the air inside and make it soft. Then, at a turntable, they shape the material with their hands and cups, bowls or small vases slowly take form. (这一工艺流程由技艺精湛的工匠严格遵循既定规范进行操作。游客首先将黏土滚动，以排出内部空气并使其变软。接着，在转盘上，他们用手和杯子、碗或小花瓶来塑形材料，这些器物便逐渐成形。)”以及后文“After shaping, they add colors or words to the work, which is then fired in a kiln (瓷窑). Days later, it is mailed to their home, bringing a pleasant surprise. (经过塑形后，他们会为作品添加颜色或文字，然后将其放入窑中烧制。几天后，作品会被寄回他们的家中，带来一份愉快的惊喜。)”第二段介绍制瓷步骤，前文讲完揉泥、手动塑形，提到“杯子、碗慢慢成型”，后文讲塑形完成后的上色、烧制步骤。A选项“这个过程需要耐心和专注”承接前文“慢慢成型”的特点，自然衔接流程。 【18题详解】 根据上文“This kind of experience differs greatly from buying a finished product. A store product may be perfect. It offers little emotional connection, though. (这种体验与购买成品有很大的不同。商店里的商品或许很完美，但它们缺乏情感上的联结。)”以及后文“Every small imperfection — an uneven edge or a fingerprint — tells a story. The waiting time adds meaning. When the package finally arrives, opening it feels like meeting an old friend. Pride and joy come from the whole-hearted dedication. (每一个微小的瑕疵——不平整的边缘或是指纹——都讲述着一个故事。等待的过程赋予了它意义。当包裹最终送达时，打开它就像是与一位老友重逢一般。这份喜悦和自豪源自全心全意的付出。)”可知，第三段对比成品瓷器和自制瓷器，前文说商店成品虽然完美，但几乎没有情感联结，后文提到自制瓷器的每一处小瑕疵都有故事。F选项“但自制作品充满了独有的回忆。”转折引出对自制瓷器价值的描述，衔接顺畅 。 【19题详解】 根据后文“During the process, local artisans share knowledge of traditional techniques. Ancient skills become real and touchable. Visitors learn about the seventy-two steps of porcelain making, gaining a deep insight into this time-honored Chinese craft. (在这个过程中，当地的工匠们分享了传统工艺的知识。古老的技艺变得鲜活且可触摸。游客们了解了瓷器制作的七十二道工序，从而对这一历史悠久的中国工艺有了深刻的了解。)”可知，第四段讲手作体验的文化价值，后文提到当地工匠分享传统技艺，游客深入了解中国古老制瓷工艺。G选项“这种体验帮助建立和文化根源的鲜活联结。”统领全段，符合段落主旨。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Today, pottery workshops have grown into a popular highlight of Jingdezhen’s cultural tourism. (如今，陶艺作坊已成为景德镇文化旅游的一大亮点。)”以及后文“More importantly, they connect visitors to tradition in a meaningful way. (更重要的是，它们以一种有意义的方式将游客与传统紧密相连。)”可知，第五段总结全文，前文说陶艺工坊已经成为景德镇文化旅游的热门亮点，后文用More importantly递进引出更深层的意义。E选项“它们满足了人们对手作体验的需求。”中主语They对应前文的pottery workshops，和后文的递进逻辑吻合。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Dear Mum and Dad, Winter in Antarctica is nearly upon us.

His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change. "See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. Clutching the broken watch, he hurried home. Like usual, the house lay empty and quiet. But this time, the loneliness felt unbearable — not because Ling was gone, but because the people he truly needed were absent. He waited and waited. It was nearly midnight when his parents finally returned. They were alarmed to see Tom curling up on the sofa, face wet with tears. “What happened, Tom?” Mom rushed over. Wordlessly, he held out the broken watch. Dad soon fetched his toolbox trying to fix it, but in vain. Seeing this, Tom couldn’t contain himself any longer and burst into desperate sobs. Between gasps, he poured out his loneliness — the silent dinners, the empty house, the longing for someone to be there. At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. They realized that no watch, however smart, could ever take the place of their presence. Immediately, Mom wrapped her arms around Tom, apologizing, “I’m so sorry. We thought the watch was enough, but we were wrong.” Dad knelt beside them, his voice thick with guilt. “From now on, we’ll be home earlier. No more lonely dinners.” Together they drew up a family schedule — Tuesday night board games, Friday pizza-making, Sunday afternoons in the park. They promised to make it a weekly routine and wrote it on the family calendar in bright colors. That night, the family came to understand technology might offer comfort, but only love could fill the silence of an empty home. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了 10 岁的汤姆因父母忙于工作而感到孤独，父母为他买了带有智能伙伴 Ling 的手表缓解孤独，而当手表损坏、Ling 消失后，汤姆向父母倾诉了内心的孤独，父母也终于意识到陪伴的重要性，承诺给予汤姆更多关爱与陪伴的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ① 由第一段开头给出的线索可知，汤姆手表损坏、Ling 无法回应，只能向父母求助；后需续可写汤姆等待父母、向父母展示损坏的手表、倾诉内心孤独的过程，体现他对父母陪伴的渴望。 ②由第二段开头给出的线索可知，父母听到汤姆的倾诉后幡然醒悟；后续可以写父母的愧疚、道歉，以及他们为弥补过错所做的具体行动，呼应 “陪伴比科技更重要” 的主题。 2.续写线索手表损坏无回应→汤姆回家等待父母→父母深夜归来发现汤姆哭泣→汤姆展示损坏的手表并倾诉孤独→父母醒悟并愧疚道歉→制定家庭陪伴计划→领悟陪伴的意义。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ① 紧握：clutch /hold tightly ② 修理：fix /repair/mend ③ 倾诉：pour out /speak out ④ 制定：draw up /work out 情绪类： ① 绝望的：desperate /hopeless ② 深感内疚：thick with guilt /feel extremely ashamed ③ 欣慰的：relieved /comforted 【点睛】【高分句型 1】They were alarmed to see Tom curling up on the sofa, face wet with tears.（运用了不定式作状语和独立主格） 【高分句型 2】They realized that no watch, however smart, could ever take the place of their presence.（运用了that 引导的宾语从句，以及 however 引导的让步状语从句的省略形式） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 兴宁市高二年级期末考试英语试题 本试卷分为选择题和非选择题两部分，满分120 分，考试用时120 分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的校名、姓名、考号、座位号等相关 信息填写在答题卡指定区域内，并用2B 铅笔填涂相关信息。 2. 选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动， 用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内的 相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改 液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。 第二部分 阅读理解(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和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A In 2026, our best beginner’s digital art course is designed to provide clarity, technique, and inspiration from the start.

B 14-year-old Leanne Fan from San Diego, California, was named the grand prize winner of the 2022 3M Young Scientist Challenge, the nation’s top middle school science competition. Leanne Fan developed the Finsen Headphones, a low-cost headphone device that uses machine learning and blue light therapy (疗法) to detect and treat mid-ear infections (感染) in children — potentially preventing up to 60% of hearing loss in children. The world sees 700 million cases of mid-ear infections every year. Fan hopes that this can be an effective and low-cost treatment option for the thousands who are affected. Fan was inspired to create the headphones three years ago while learning about Niels Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize in 1903 after inventing light therapy to treat bacterial (细菌的) infections. “I thought, ‘This is an amazing idea, and I can apply it to something else in my daily life,’” Fan said. Fan took home the top prize, earning the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” and $25,000. She is planning to use some of the prize money to start the patent process for the headphones. Fan is optimistic that the Finsen Headphones will be able to help people in the near future. “Being part of the 3M Young Scientist Challenge was absolutely the best part of my year,” Fan said. “I could meet scientists that are my age and going for their dreams too, and made some friends.” She hopes to inspire other girls who want to become inventors. “Even a small idea can go far,” she said. “I had an idea to use blue light to kill bacteria and three years later, I’m here.” 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cost of the headphone device. B. The process of blue light therapy. C. The description of the headphones. D. The cases of mid-ear infections. 5. What inspired Leanne Fan to create the headphones? A. Her own daily life. B. Her desire for the Nobel Prize. C. The facts of bacterial infections. D. Niels Finsen’s invention of light therapy. 6. Which of the following can best describe Fan? A. Outgoing. B. Patient. C. Creative. D. Hardworking. 7. What can we learn from Fan’s story? A. Even a small idea can go far. B. Many hands make light work. C. Roses given, fragrance in hand. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important. Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and many new skills to make her dreams a reality. “One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”. During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and food -all of which she documents on TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes. Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve, ”she says. 8. Why did Anna Sacks leave New York? A. To learn how to grow food. B. To pursue a more meaningful life. C. To realize her dream as a volunteer. D. To accept the invitation from a program. 9. What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program? A. The significance of trash walking. B. The hard truth of consumer culture. C. The sustainable food people produced. D. The way people there dealt with the waste. 10. What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash? A. The tax refund. B. The tax reduction. C. The overproduction. D. The poor quality of goods. 11. What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story? A. Consumer culture accounts for wasting. B. Corporate trash outweighs residential trash. C. Turning to farming leads to sustainable living. D. Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy. D Chinese researchers have built an ocean carbon recycling system for capturing oceanic carbon dioxide and turning it into succinic acid, a chemical used to make biodegradable plastic. The system extracted carbon dioxide from Shenzhen Bay’s seawater for more than 530 hours continuously, recording a 70% carbon capture efficiency. The project was led by Gao Xiang and Xia Chuan from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, respectively. The cost was just 230 dollars per metric ton of CO2, matching the leading carbon capture technologies in the market today. Firstly, seawater is sent to a 5-chamber electrochemical reactor (五室电化学反应器), where the electric field causes water splitting. The protons (质子) acidify in one chamber while changing dissolved carbonate species into gaseous CO2, which is then separated through a hollow-fibre membrane (中空纤维膜) and sent to a second reactor. In the reactor, a kind of catalyst (催化剂 ) reduces the CO2 into formic acid (蚁酸). After this, a sort of marine bacterium changes the formic acid into succinic acid. The modular (模块化的) nature of this system means it can be repurposed to produce several kinds of chemicals, enabling the transformation of oceanic carbon into market-ready materials. The system is not only useful for making plastics but could also be used to decrease the burden on land-based methods to achieve the same. It will help in turning CO2 to high-value products, which drive a low-carbon economy. According to researchers, integrating the system with offshore renewable energy sources, like wind or tidal power, could make the process more efficient and sustainable. Oceans absorb around one-third of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, and this system could change its role from being a passive sink to an active participant in finding a solution to the climate problem. 12. Why have the researchers built the ocean carbon recycling system? A. To generate electricity from seawater. B. To collect sea CO2 for a valuable chemical. C. To explore deep sea biological resources. D. To detect hidden ocean carbon waste. 13. What does the third paragraph mainly focus on? A. The technical process. B. The working principle. C. The CO2 data collection. D. The reactor equipment. 14. What does the underlined words “the same” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Boosting economic development. B. Producing chemicals. C. Decreasing CO2 emissions. D. Making plastics. 15. What can be inferred about the system in the passage? A. It barely integrates with existing technologies. B. It owns broad application prospect. C. It sustains offshore energy output. D. It balances global climate. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In Jingdezhen, known as China’s capital of porcelain, a quiet change is taking place.

His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change. "See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
