But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest, stretching across nearly 2 million acres between Phoenix and Flagstaff. How to Get There Getting there is easy. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drive 1.5 hours north via Interstate 17. Or fly to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, served by American Airlines with daily flights from Phoenix, Dallas, and Los Angeles. From there, the forest is just a 20-minute drive. About the Forest Named after the Cohonina people, the forest was designated a national forest by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Today, its three districts protect 10 wilderness areas home to elk, mule deer, mountain lions, and bobcats. Hiking Information Trails: 482 trails extending hundreds of miles Pass Required: 1. Red Rock Pass: $5 per day (for individuals only) 2. All-Inclusive Annual Pass: $80 (for individuals and families) Top Trails: Devil’s Bridge Trail: 3.9-mile out-and-back hike to a huge sandstone arch. Kachina Peaks Trail: 9.6-mile hike to Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), Arizona’s highest point. Grand Canyon view available on clear days from Humphreys Peak. Stay Options The forest has 24 campsites and 4 cabins. Clints Well Campground charges $8 per night and stays open year-round. If you prefer a roof, hotels in Flagstaff or Sedona Views Bed and Breakfast (11.2 miles away) are good choices. 1. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To describe various Forest wildlife. B. To explain how to get a hiking pass. C. To introduce a less crowded scenic spot. D. To compare the Grand Canyon with Coconino. 2. What is the budget-friendly pass option for a family of four hiking for 3 days? A. Four Red Rock Passes. B. Twelve Red Rock Passes. C. One All-Inclusive Annual Pass. D. Four All-Inclusive Annual Passes. 3. What can be learned about Humphreys Peak? A. It is an easy hike for beginners. B. It is located inside the Grand Canyon. C. It is the most popular trail in the forest. D. It is higher than any other mountain in Arizona. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一处人少景美的科科尼诺国家森林及游玩相关信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段中“The Grand Canyon welcomed 4.9 million visitors in 2024. But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest.(大峡谷在2024年迎来了490万游客。但有一个同样令人叹为观止且人少得多的地方。它叫科科尼诺国家森林。)”可知，文章主要目的是介绍这个人少的景点。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Pass Required中“Red Rock Pass: $5 per day(for individuals only)(红石通行证：每天5美元，仅限个人)”和“All-Inclusive Annual Pass: $80 (for individuals and families)(全包年票：80美元，适用于个人和家庭)”可知，四口之家徒步3天：若买红石通行证，需4人×3天=12张，共12×5=60美元；若买全包年票需80美元。60美元<80美元，故12张红石通行证最划算。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Top Trails:中“Kachina Peaks Trail: 9.6-mile hike to Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), Arizona’s highest point.(卡奇纳峰步道：9.6英里徒步到汉弗莱斯峰（12633英尺），亚利桑那州的最高点。)”可知，汉弗莱斯峰是亚利桑那州最高峰，即比该州任何其他山都高。 B Jim Fullan is often mistaken as a player’s dad. Sometimes people even think he’s a coach. But the 57-year-old man is actually just part of the team. His return to the baseball field has been a lifelong dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball. “I never took the opportunity to play in college or continue to try,” he says. “It was always on my mind.” Fullan applied to several Pennsylvania community colleges to get his degree and spoke to a couple of baseball coaches to learn about the programs. But they refused him. It wasn’t until he went to a few of the Montgomery County Community College Mustangs’ games last spring that he felt he found support. He introduced himself to the coaches and they accepted the idea of him becoming a special student and an athlete. Fullan showed up for the tryout last fall. The tryout made him anxious, particularly because he didn’t know how he was going to be received by his much younger teammates. There is truly a big age gap, but he immediately caught the attention of the young who admired his determination. With 25 players trying out, only 18 made the team. That total included Fullan. When not attending class, Fullan is putting in work on the field. He’s not using age as an excuse. He attends all of the daily three-hour practices from Monday to Friday. Fullan says it is a daily challenge to keep up with his younger teammates so he has to get to practice early before they arrive. Actually, Fullan is able to share his wealth of knowledge from his life experience with his teammates. This enables him to develop good relationships with the team. His story has been an inspiration to many away from the baseball field, including Kelly Dunbar, director of athletics at Montgomery County Community College. “I admire his courage to keep his dream alive,” she says, “because many people don’t do that these days.” 4. What can be learned about Fullan from the first two paragraphs? A. He hoped to re-experience college life. B. He taught young players after retirement. C. He tried to achieve a long-standing dream. D. He surprised others with his athletic abilities. 5. What made Fullan worried during his tryout? A. The difficulty of keeping focused. B. Serious competition among players. C. Uncertainty about teammates’ attitudes. D. The thought of making simple mistakes. 6. How does Fullan benefit his teammates with his participation? A. By providing job opportunities. B. By sharing his life wisdom. C. By driving training plans. D. By offering baseball skills. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. An Old Coach Returns to the Field B. A Team’s New Member C. A Student Athlete in College D. A Lifelong Baseball Dream Comes True 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述57岁的吉姆·富兰退休后追逐大学棒球梦，虽遭拒绝但未放弃，最终成功加入球队，其坚持激励了许多人的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His return to the baseball field has been a lifelong dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball. “I never took the opportunity to play in college or continue to try,” he says. “It was always on my mind.”(重返棒球场是他毕生的梦想。富兰去年退休，旨在实现打大学棒球的目标。“我从未有机会在大学打球，也没有继续尝试，”他说，“这个梦想一直萦绕在我心头。”)”以及第二段中他为实现梦想所做的努力可知，富兰一直在努力实现自己长久以来的梦想。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The tryout made him anxious, particularly because he didn’t know how he was going to be received by his much younger teammates.(选拔赛让他很焦虑，尤其是因为他不知道自己会如何被比他年轻得多的队友接受。)”可知，富兰在选拔赛期间担心的是队友对他的态度不确定。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Actually, Fullan is able to share his wealth of knowledge from his life experience with his teammates. This enables him to develop good relationships with the team.(事实上，富兰能够与队友分享他丰富的人生经验。这使他能够与球队建立良好的关系。)”可知，富兰通过分享自己的人生智慧，让队友们受益。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“His return to the baseball field has been a life long dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball.(重返棒球场是他毕生的梦想。富兰去年退休，旨在实现打大学棒球的目标。)”以及最后一段中““I admire his courage to keep his dream alive,” she says, “because many people don’t do that these days.”(“我钦佩他坚守梦想的勇气，” 她说，“因为如今很多人都做不到这一点。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了57岁的富兰退休后勇敢追逐年轻时的棒球梦想并成功实现的故事。所以最佳标题为“一个毕生的棒球梦成真”。 C Some birds have developed a curious habit: they put cigarette butts (烟头) in their nests. A new study adds evidence for why urban birds have picked up this preference, at least in one species: the poisons in cigarette butts may keep pests (害虫) at bay in the nests of blue tits, colorful birds that are found across Europe. Cigarette butts contain about 4,000 chemical compounds, including nicotine, arsenic and heavy metals, which could keep away pests like ticks, fleas and blowflies that harm birds and their babies. So the researchers wanted to know whether blue tits could benefit from cigarette butts. A team at the University of Lodz in Poland studied blue tits in urban parkland and forest. They tracked the health of 99 birds born in three types of nests: untreated nests, nests with sterilized (无菌的) man-made cotton wool, and those with two used cigarette butts. Thirteen days after birth, the blood test showed that babies in both the sterilized and butt nests were healthier than those in the untreated nests. After the birds could fly, the researchers analyzed the pest populations. They were most numerous in untreated nests and nearly absent from sterilized nests. In the butt nests, the pests were slightly fewer than in the untreated nests. The modest effect found in the new study might be a result of using only two butts. In contrast, a team in Mexico City found that house finches, another bird species, put an average of 8 to 10 cigarette butts into their nests. A follow-up experiment showed that when researchers added more pests to nests, these birds responded by adding more cigarette butts. Sarah Bush, an ecologist at the University of Utah (the USA), called the new study’s effort “monumental” despite its small sample. “It’s very hard to get large sample sizes with birds in the field,” she said. 8. What does the underlined word “evidence” refer to in paragraph 1? A. The poisons that cigarette butts contain. B. The pest-fighting effect of cigarette butts. C. The possible damage of pests on urban birds. D. The fact that urban birds prefer cigarette butts. 9. What did the Polish study find about butt nests? A. They had the opposite result. B. They attracted baby and adult birds. C. They were equal to sterilized nests. D. They were better than untreated nests. 10. What did the follow-up experiment in Mexico City indicate? A. Finches were hard-working. B. Birds escaped pest-filled nests. C. Eight butts worked ineffectively. D. Finches adjusted accordingly. 11. What is Sarah Bush’s attitude toward the new study? A. Doubtful but polite. B. Critical and demanding. C. Favorable but realistic. D. Approving and enthusiastic. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章研究发现城市鸟类将烟头筑巢，利用其毒性驱赶害虫，并介绍相关实验结果与学者评价。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“A new study adds evidence for why urban birds have picked up this preference, at least in one species: the poisons in cigarette butts may keep pests at bay in the nests of blue tits, colorful birds that are found across Europe.(一项新的研究为解释城市鸟类形成这一偏好的原因补充了证据，至少对一个物种而言：烟头中的有毒物质可以阻止蓝山雀巢中的害虫，蓝山雀是一种遍布欧洲的彩色鸟类)”可知，此处证据指的是下文提到的“烟头具备防虫效果”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thirteen days after birth, the blood test showed that babies in both the sterilized and butt nests were healthier than those in the untreated nests.(出生十三天后，血液检测显示，无菌巢穴和烟头巢穴中的幼鸟都比未处理巢穴中的幼鸟更健康)”以及“In the butt nests, the pests were slightly fewer than in the untreated nests.(在烟头巢穴中，害虫数量比未处理的巢穴略少)”可知，烟头巢穴的效果优于未处理的巢穴。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A follow-up experiment showed that when researchers added more pests to nests, these birds responded by adding more cigarette butts.(一项后续实验表明，当研究人员往巢穴中投放更多害虫时，这些鸟类会投放更多烟头作为应对)”可知，朱雀会根据害虫数量相应调整烟头投放数量。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sarah Bush, an ecologist at the University of Utah (the USA), called the new study’s effort “monumental” despite its small sample. “It’s very hard to get large sample sizes with birds in the field,” she said.(美国犹他大学生态学家萨拉·布什称，尽管样本量较小，但这项新研究的付出意义重大。她说：在野外很难获取大量的鸟类样本)”可知，她认可该研究的价值，同时客观正视样本量小的不足，态度支持且务实。 D Birds do it. Bees do it. Even animals without central nervous systems do it. And of course babies do it — yet less than their exhausted parents would like. But, despite its universality, sleep remains a mysterious process. Indeed, although sleep seems to be crucial for physical and mental well-being, scientists are still trying to work out its biological logic. Research points to a theory, which suggests that the brain needs to “reset” periodically to keep the mind in good operating order — with exciting hints that sleep’s effect on the gut (肠道) might also come into play. Not only is getting enough sleep satisfying in its own right, but it also has a broader effect on health. Evidence indicates that people who sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than people who sleep longer. A theory first proposed more than ten years ago holds that sleep helps the brain to clear out tau protein, which contributes to this neurodegenerative (神经退行) condition. But in the past years, a fierce scientific debate has arisen about the physiological (生理的) details of this connection. The resulting uncertainty has made it more difficult to take advantage of the correlation between sleep and Alzheimer’s to develop strategies to prevent the happening of this disastrous condition. Sleep can also help to address a less-severe and more-common health issue than dementia (痴呆): the desire to lose weight. A leading sleep specialist explains how longer sleep leads to people consuming fewer calories and losing kilograms. And weight loss lowers the risk of sleep apnoea, in which a person’s breathing during sleep is interrupted, and, in turn, lessens the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Sleep scientists have no shortage of questions to explore. These include the link between night-time illumination (照明) and mood disorders, the disappointing finding that napping might increase the risk of heart disease and the confirmation that early morning university classes discourage attendance and reduce learning. 12. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 1? A. To highlight the widespread nature of sleep. B. To explain why babies sleep less than adults. C. To introduce the biological definition of sleep. D. To compare the sleep habits of different species. 13. Why is it hard to develop Alzheimer’s prevention strategies based on sleep research? A. Proteins harm sleep indirectly. B. Short sleep prevents Alzheimer’s. C. No debate is over their connection. D. The sleep-Alzheimer’s link is unclear. 14. What can be inferred according to the last paragraph? A. Mood disorders directly lead to heart disease. B. Early morning classes are effective for weight loss. C. Some common habits carry unexpected health risks. D. Night-time illumination is beneficial for mental health. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Babies Need More Sleep B. Where Napping Benefits Our Body C. What Scientists Learn about Sleep D. How to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了睡眠对大脑、阿尔茨海默病、体重等健康的影响及科学家的最新研究与未解之谜。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Birds do it. Bees do it. Even animals without central nervous systems do it. And of course babies do it(鸟会睡觉，蜜蜂会睡觉，甚至没有中枢神经系统的动物也会睡觉。当然婴儿也会睡觉)”可知，第一段通过列举鸟、蜜蜂、无中枢神经的动物、婴儿等不同物种都会睡觉，目的是说明睡眠是一种普遍现象。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But in the past years, a fierce scientific debate has arisen about the physiological (生理的) details of this connection. The resulting uncertainty has made it more difficult to take advantage of the correlation between sleep and Alzheimer’s to develop strategies to prevent the happening of this disastrous condition.(但在过去几年里，关于这种关联背后的生理学机制，科学界展开了一场激烈的争论。由此产生的不确定性，使得我们更难利用睡眠与阿尔茨海默病之间的相关性，去制定预防这种毁灭性疾病发生的策略。)”可知，由于睡眠与阿尔茨海默病之间的生理联系尚存争议、不够明确，导致难以据此开发预防策略。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These include the link between night-time illumination (照明) and mood disorders, the disappointing finding that napping might increase the risk of heart disease and the confirmation that early morning university classes discourage attendance and reduce learning.(其中包括夜间照明与情绪障碍之间的关联、午睡反而可能增加心脏病风险的令人沮丧的发现，以及证实大学过早的早课会打击出勤率并影响学习效果的那些研究。)”可知，午睡和早课都是常见习惯，却分别带来健康风险和学习效率下降等意想不到的负面影响。一些常见习惯带有意想不到的健康风险。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章从睡眠的普遍性入手，介绍了睡眠对大脑重置、阿尔茨海默病、体重管理等方面的科学发现，并指出许多问题仍在争论中。C选项“What Scientists Learn about Sleep(科学家对睡眠的了解)”最能概括全文主旨。 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。 Seeing the world doesn’t have to be expensive.

In her first math class, Mr. Carter wrote a series of expressions on the blackboard. While most of her classmates nodded and took notes, the symbols “x” and “y” seemed to swim before her eyes. She felt as if she were listening to a “foreign language”. The confusion only grew when she sat down to do her homework. For two hours she remained at her desk, staring at the textbook and the blank pages of her notebook. She reread the first question ten times, but the numbers refused to make sense. Upset and ashamed, she never felt so defeated by a subject. Her anxiety deepened over the following days. She stopped raising her hand. She was worried that her questions would sound stupid. One day, Mr. Carter called on her to answer a question. Lena stood up, her face burning with embarrassment because she was totally clueless about the answer. But a boy named Jax said in a low voice, “Even a middle schooler knows that!” Lena bit her lip and sank back into her seat with her head hanging very low. Seeing this, Mr. Carter asked Lena to stay after class. Instead of criticizing her, he said gently, “I notice you’ve been struggling, Lena. Math can be tough at first. Like learning to play a musical instrument, it requires the right method and a lot of practice. I have talked to Zoe and she has agreed to help you. You know, she is a kind girl and is always ready to help.” The next day, Mr. Carter rearranged the seats, and Zoe became Lena’s new deskmate. 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。 Every afternoon, the two girls studied together. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, the result of the first math exam came out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Every afternoon, the two girls studied together. Zoe never laughed at Lena’s slow progress or silly questions. Instead, she explained patiently and even drew pictures to make those difficult concepts easier to understand. When Lena still got stuck, Zoe broke down each step until she got it right. With Zoe’s encouragement, Lena also worked harder. She took more detailed notes and practiced extra problems every night. Gradually, the “foreign language” of math became familiar, and she even started to feel a little excited when she solved a tough problem. One month later, the result of the first math exam came out. Lena’s hands kept shaking as she picked up her paper. When she saw a bright red “B”, a broad smile spread across her face. She ran to thank Zoe, who hugged her happily, and then found Mr. Carter to share the good news. He patted her shoulder proudly and said, “Hard work pays off”. Lena smiled, realizing that with friendly support, encouragement and her own perseverance, any difficulty could be overcome. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了原本学习自信的Lena升入高中后，难以听懂数学课，作业也完全不会做，数学学习上陷入困惑与挫败，变得自卑不敢举手答题。一次被老师提问时她毫无头绪，还遭到同学Jax的嘲讽。课后Carter老师没有批评她，反而温柔开导，告诉她数学需要方法和练习，并安排热心的Zoe帮助她，还特意调整座位让Zoe成为她的同桌。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Zoe如何帮助Lena，以及Lena努力学习后发生的转变。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Lena取得好成绩向Zoe和Cater老师表示感谢以及Lena的感悟。 2.续写线索：Zoe帮助Lena——Lena努力学习，获得成就感——Lene成绩进步——表示感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②解决：solve/work out ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/cheerfully ②感谢某人：thank sb/be grateful to sb 【点睛】[高分句型1] She ran to thank Zoe, who hugged her happily, and then found Mr. Carter to share the good news.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Lena smiled, realizing that with friendly support, encouragement and her own perseverance, any difficulty could be overcome.（运用了现在分词短语作状语，that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年下学期高一年级第二次质量检测 英语试题 分值：150分 考试时长：120分钟 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．What does the man have to do now?

But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest, stretching across nearly 2 million acres between Phoenix and Flagstaff. How to Get There Getting there is easy. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drive 1.5 hours north via Interstate 17. Or fly to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, served by American Airlines with daily flights from Phoenix, Dallas, and Los Angeles. From there, the forest is just a 20-minute drive. About the Forest Named after the Cohonina people, the forest was designated a national forest by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Today, its three districts protect 10 wilderness areas home to elk, mule deer, mountain lions, and bobcats. Hiking Information Trails: 482 trails extending hundreds of miles Pass Required: 1. Red Rock Pass: $5 per day (for individuals only) 2.

But the 57-year-old man is actually just part of the team. His return to the baseball field has been a lifelong dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball. “I never took the opportunity to play in college or continue to try,” he says. “It was always on my mind.” Fullan applied to several Pennsylvania community colleges to get his degree and spoke to a couple of baseball coaches to learn about the programs. But they refused him. It wasn’t until he went to a few of the Montgomery County Community College Mustangs’ games last spring that he felt he found support. He introduced himself to the coaches and they accepted the idea of him becoming a special student and an athlete. Fullan showed up for the tryout last fall. The tryout made him anxious, particularly because he didn’t know how he was going to be received by his much younger teammates. There is truly a big age gap, but he immediately caught the attention of the young who admired his determination. With 25 players trying out, only 18 made the team. That total included Fullan. When not attending class, Fullan is putting in work on the field. He’s not using age as an excuse. He attends all of the daily three-hour practices from Monday to Friday. Fullan says it is a daily challenge to keep up with his younger teammates so he has to get to practice early before they arrive. Actually, Fullan is able to share his wealth of knowledge from his life experience with his teammates. This enables him to develop good relationships with the team. His story has been an inspiration to many away from the baseball field, including Kelly Dunbar, director of athletics at Montgomery County Community College. “I admire his courage to keep his dream alive,” she says, “because many people don’t do that these days.” 4. What can be learned about Fullan from the first two paragraphs? A. He hoped to re-experience college life. B. He taught young players after retirement. C. He tried to achieve a long-standing dream. D. He surprised others with his athletic abilities. 5. What made Fullan worried during his tryout? A. The difficulty of keeping focused. B. Serious competition among players. C. Uncertainty about teammates’ attitudes. D. The thought of making simple mistakes. 6. How does Fullan benefit his teammates with his participation? A. By providing job opportunities. B. By sharing his life wisdom. C. By driving training plans. D. By offering baseball skills. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. An Old Coach Returns to the Field B. A Team’s New Member C. A Student Athlete in College D. A Lifelong Baseball Dream Comes True C Some birds have developed a curious habit: they put cigarette butts (烟头) in their nests. A new study adds evidence for why urban birds have picked up this preference, at least in one species: the poisons in cigarette butts may keep pests (害虫) at bay in the nests of blue tits, colorful birds that are found across Europe. Cigarette butts contain about 4,000 chemical compounds, including nicotine, arsenic and heavy metals, which could keep away pests like ticks, fleas and blowflies that harm birds and their babies. So the researchers wanted to know whether blue tits could benefit from cigarette butts. A team at the University of Lodz in Poland studied blue tits in urban parkland and forest. They tracked the health of 99 birds born in three types of nests: untreated nests, nests with sterilized (无菌的) man-made cotton wool, and those with two used cigarette butts. Thirteen days after birth, the blood test showed that babies in both the sterilized and butt nests were healthier than those in the untreated nests. After the birds could fly, the researchers analyzed the pest populations. They were most numerous in untreated nests and nearly absent from sterilized nests. In the butt nests, the pests were slightly fewer than in the untreated nests. The modest effect found in the new study might be a result of using only two butts. In contrast, a team in Mexico City found that house finches, another bird species, put an average of 8 to 10 cigarette butts into their nests. A follow-up experiment showed that when researchers added more pests to nests, these birds responded by adding more cigarette butts. Sarah Bush, an ecologist at the University of Utah (the USA), called the new study’s effort “monumental” despite its small sample. “It’s very hard to get large sample sizes with birds in the field,” she said. 8. What does the underlined word “evidence” refer to in paragraph 1? A. The poisons that cigarette butts contain. B. The pest-fighting effect of cigarette butts. C. The possible damage of pests on urban birds. D. The fact that urban birds prefer cigarette butts. 9. What did the Polish study find about butt nests? A. They had the opposite result. B. They attracted baby and adult birds. C. They were equal to sterilized nests. D. They were better than untreated nests. 10. What did the follow-up experiment in Mexico City indicate? A. Finches were hard-working. B. Birds escaped pest-filled nests. C. Eight butts worked ineffectively. D. Finches adjusted accordingly. 11. What is Sarah Bush’s attitude toward the new study? A. Doubtful but polite. B. Critical and demanding. C. Favorable but realistic. D. Approving and enthusiastic. D Birds do it. Bees do it. Even animals without central nervous systems do it. And of course babies do it — yet less than their exhausted parents would like. But, despite its universality, sleep remains a mysterious process. Indeed, although sleep seems to be crucial for physical and mental well-being, scientists are still trying to work out its biological logic. Research points to a theory, which suggests that the brain needs to “reset” periodically to keep the mind in good operating order — with exciting hints that sleep’s effect on the gut (肠道) might also come into play. Not only is getting enough sleep satisfying in its own right, but it also has a broader effect on health. Evidence indicates that people who sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than people who sleep longer. A theory first proposed more than ten years ago holds that sleep helps the brain to clear out tau protein, which contributes to this neurodegenerative (神经退行) condition. But in the past years, a fierce scientific debate has arisen about the physiological (生理的) details of this connection. The resulting uncertainty has made it more difficult to take advantage of the correlation between sleep and Alzheimer’s to develop strategies to prevent the happening of this disastrous condition. Sleep can also help to address a less-severe and more-common health issue than dementia (痴呆): the desire to lose weight. A leading sleep specialist explains how longer sleep leads to people consuming fewer calories and losing kilograms. And weight loss lowers the risk of sleep apnoea, in which a person’s breathing during sleep is interrupted, and, in turn, lessens the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Sleep scientists have no shortage of questions to explore. These include the link between night-time illumination (照明) and mood disorders, the disappointing finding that napping might increase the risk of heart disease and the confirmation that early morning university classes discourage attendance and reduce learning. 12. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 1? A. To highlight the widespread nature of sleep. B. To explain why babies sleep less than adults. C. To introduce the biological definition of sleep. D. To compare the sleep habits of different species. 13. Why is it hard to develop Alzheimer’s prevention strategies based on sleep research? A. Proteins harm sleep indirectly. B. Short sleep prevents Alzheimer’s. C. No debate is over their connection. D. The sleep-Alzheimer’s link is unclear. 14. What can be inferred according to the last paragraph? A. Mood disorders directly lead to heart disease. B. Early morning classes are effective for weight loss. C. Some common habits carry unexpected health risks. D. Night-time illumination is beneficial for mental health. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Babies Need More Sleep B. Where Napping Benefits Our Body C. What Scientists Learn about Sleep D. How to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease 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。 Seeing the world doesn’t have to be expensive.

In her first math class, Mr. Carter wrote a series of expressions on the blackboard. While most of her classmates nodded and took notes, the symbols “x” and “y” seemed to swim before her eyes. She felt as if she were listening to a “foreign language”. The confusion only grew when she sat down to do her homework. For two hours she remained at her desk, staring at the textbook and the blank pages of her notebook. She reread the first question ten times, but the numbers refused to make sense. Upset and ashamed, she never felt so defeated by a subject. Her anxiety deepened over the following days. She stopped raising her hand. She was worried that her questions would sound stupid. One day, Mr. Carter called on her to answer a question. Lena stood up, her face burning with embarrassment because she was totally clueless about the answer. But a boy named Jax said in a low voice, “Even a middle schooler knows that!” Lena bit her lip and sank back into her seat with her head hanging very low. Seeing this, Mr. Carter asked Lena to stay after class. Instead of criticizing her, he said gently, “I notice you’ve been struggling, Lena. Math can be tough at first. Like learning to play a musical instrument, it requires the right method and a lot of practice. I have talked to Zoe and she has agreed to help you. You know, she is a kind girl and is always ready to help.” The next day, Mr. Carter rearranged the seats, and Zoe became Lena’s new deskmate. 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。 Every afternoon, the two girls studied together. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, the result of the first math exam came out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
