The world is burning!’ doesn’t really work,” she laughs. But she didn’t give up and insisted on making innovations in her magic — a new take on the age-old art form. It’s an interesting combination. There is, after all, something unnatural about magic: it breaks the laws of physics, suspends reality for a few magical seconds and disturbs our perception of the world. But it could also be a powerful force to help us reconnect with nature. Swann’s love for magic began at age five when she received a magic set. By age eight, she was attracted by a magician named Roy Marsh, whose performance at her birthday inspired her to start practicing. As a young magician, she joined the Young Magicians Club, eventually becoming involved with London’s famous Magic Circle. Swann realized that educational shows — rather than casual events — were her calling and she designed a show for schoolchildren. It included the “deforestation deception (骗局)” and other skillful green-fingered tricks. “I tried to link the tricks to action that people watching could take. So, I produced flowers and reminded them all to grow more things,” she says. Other tricks included the “Needle Through Balloon” representing heat being trapped, “Endless Water” to get the impact of turning off the tap, and “The Miser’s Dream” — a magic routine in which magicians classically produce coins from the air — but with lightbulbs instead of hard cash. And, like any good show — fire. “Because global warming is going to make things hot!” she says. Her work has gained recognition. In 2021, she became the first female president of the Magic Circle. Swann believes that magic, with its visual impact and ability to engage a wide audience, is a powerful tool to inspire action. “Magic shows that even impossible things can happen,” she concludes. 4. What might people think of Megan Swann’s green magic idea at first? A. Beneficial. B. Short-lived. C. Old-fashioned. D. Unappealing. 5. Why did Megan Swann persist in performing her special magic? A. To preserve the traditional art form. B. To stimulate environmental awareness. C. To entertain children at birthday parties. D. To promote famous magicians in history. 6. What can we know about Megan Swann? A. She enjoys gardening a lot. B. She showed a talent for acting at five. C. She is a creative and responsible person. D. She prefers fixed and traditional magic tricks. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Game-Changing Magician B. An Important Age-Old Art Form C. A Late Achiever in the Magic Field D. An Essential Part of School Education 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了魔术师梅根·斯旺创新绿色魔术，将魔术表演与环保理念相结合，设计各类特色魔术向观众传递环保知识、唤醒环保意识，凭借独特创新获得行业认可，证明魔术是激励人们行动的有力工具。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段““You soon realize when you’re working as a magician at parties, no one wants to hear about deforestation while you’re performing the ‘torn and restored newspaper’. ‘Happy birthday! The world is burning!’ doesn’t really work,” she laughs.(“你很快就会发现，当你在派对上表演魔术时，没人愿意在你表演‘报纸撕碎复原’的节目时听你谈论森林砍伐问题。一边说着‘生日快乐！地球正在遭受危机！’一边表演，这种方式根本行不通。”她笑着说道。)”可知，起初人们对她的环保魔术想法并不感兴趣、觉得没有吸引力。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段““I tried to link the tricks to action that people watching could take. So, I produced flowers and reminded them all to grow more things,” she says.(“我试着把魔术和观众能够付诸实践的行动联系起来。所以，我变出鲜花，借此提醒大家多种植植物。”她说。)”以及全文环保主题可知，她坚持表演特色环保魔术，是为了唤醒大众的环保意识，引导人们践行环保行为。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“But she didn’t give up and insisted on making innovations in her magic — a new take on the age-old art form.(但她没有放弃，坚持对魔术进行创新，为这一古老的艺术形式赋予全新的演绎。)”和第四段““I tried to link the tricks to action that people watching could take. So, I produced flowers and reminded them all to grow more things,” she says.(“我试着把魔术和观众能够付诸实践的行动联系起来。所以，我变出鲜花，借此提醒大家多种植植物。”她说。)”可知，她结合魔术科普环保、传递正能量，可推知梅根·斯旺敢于创新、心怀社会、勇于担当，是一位富有创造力、有责任感的人。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲述梅根·斯旺打破传统魔术局限，创新出绿色环保魔术，颠覆传统魔术的娱乐属性，赋予魔术全新的环保价值，改变了魔术的意义，是一位革新魔术行业的魔术师，因此“一位革新行业的魔术师”最适合作为文章标题。 C If you’re offered a-free cookie, you might say yes. But if you’re paid to eat a free cookie, would your response be the same? You might politely refuse and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a new study, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” because they seem “too good to be true”. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered an additional $2. “People typically infer hidden costs from overly generous offers. In this case, the participants may think the cookies were poisoned,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch. Further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present common everyday scenes. In each case, past a certain threshold value (阈值), higher potential monetary gain at no cost reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that, against the “standard economic model”, which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, deals need to be understood as social interactions between people trying to read each other’s minds. If someone seems to go against accepted norms without a solid reason, we assume they have hidden purposes and infer there will be “phantom costs (幻影成本)”. The researchers also showed how to weaken phantom costs’ effect. In one experiment, participants were given three plane tickets for the same flight, respectively costing $235, $275, and $205. Most people chose the $205 ticket. However, if the third option was $15, hardly anyone chose the cheapest one. They rejected it because they imagined horrible phantom costs. However, when the researchers accounted for the incredibly cheap offer — very uncomfortable seats — most participants preferred the $15 flight. The scientists are also about to experiment with human and artificial intelligence interactions. “Will people act the same way when AI is overly generous to them?” Vonasch says. “AI is always programmed to appear more human-like and people tend to treat AI agents as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. What does the underlined part “smells fishy” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is worth studying. B. Is hard to realize. C. Seems untrustworthy. D. Sounds very appealing. 9. Which of the following options will participants most possibly refuse? A. A travel package with a 50% discount. B. Being offered cash for taking a lift home. C. A $100 reward for returning one’s lost phone. D. Being given a prize for accepting an interview. 10. What insight can businesses gain from the “cheap flight” experiment? A. Keep prices as low as possible. B. Offer customers a variety of options. C. Give explanations for overgenerous offers. D. Adjust pricing following competitors. 11. What will the researchers investigate in further studies? A. How AI’s responses impact humans’ expectations. B. How AI can be programmed to be more human-like. C. Whether AI can give humans overly generous offers. D. Whether we assume phantom costs in human-AI interactions. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项研究表明，人们会拒绝“天上掉馅饼”式的好处，因觉其有隐藏成本（即“幻影成本”），这与标准经济模型相悖，研究还探讨了减弱该效应的方法及将实验扩展到人机交互的计划。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“If you’re offered a-free cookie, you might say yes. But if you’re paid to eat a free cookie, would your response be the same?(如果有人递给你一块免费的饼干，你可能会欣然接受。但如果有人付钱让你去吃这块免费的饼干，你的反应会一样吗？)”可知，当人们被付钱吃免费饼干时，可能会拒绝并觉得“smells fishy”，后文“In a new study, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” because they seem “too good to be true”.(在一项新的研究中，研究人员发现，人们往往会拒绝“免费获得金钱”的提议，因为他们觉得这些提议“好得不真实”)”提到这种拒绝是因为优惠“看起来好得不像真”（too good to be true），暗示可疑或不可信，故划线短语的意思是“似乎不可信”。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered an additional $2. “People typically infer hidden costs from overly generous offers. In this case, the participants may think the cookies were poisoned,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch.(在最初的实验中，近 40%的参与者随意接受了提供的饼干，而那些额外获得 2 美元奖励的参与者中这一比例约为 20%。“人们通常会从过于慷慨的提议中推断出潜在的隐性成本。在这种情况下，参与者可能会认为这些饼干有毒。”研究的主要作者安德鲁·J·沃纳沙说道)”可知，人们对“过于慷慨”或“反常”优惠的怀疑，尤其是无额外成本却获得高收益的提议（如付钱吃免费饼干），故参与者最有可能拒绝被提出用现金奖励的方式让他们搭乘交通工具回家。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers also showed how to weaken phantom costs’ effect. In one experiment, participants were given three plane tickets for the same flight, respectively costing $235, $275, and $205. Most people chose the $205 ticket. However, if the third option was $15, hardly anyone chose the cheapest one. They rejected it because they imagined horrible phantom costs. However, when the researchers accounted for the incredibly cheap offer — very uncomfortable seats — most participants preferred the $15 flight.(研究人员还展示了如何削弱“幻影成本”的影响。在一项实验中，参与者获得了三张同一航班的机票，价格分别为235美元、275美元和205美元。大多数人选择了205美元的机票。然而，如果第三个选项是15美元，几乎没有人会选择价格最低的那张票。他们拒绝选择它是因为他们想象到了可怕的“幻觉成本”。然而，当研究人员考虑到这个极其便宜的选项——非常不舒服的座位时，大多数参与者更倾向于选择15美元的航班)”可知，企业可通过解释原因（如明确潜在缺点）来消除客户疑虑，提高对“过于慷慨”优惠的接受度。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The scientists are also about to experiment with human and artificial intelligence interactions. “Will people act the same way when AI is overly generous to them?” Vonasch says. “AI is always programmed to appear more human-like and people tend to treat AI agents as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.”(科学家们还将开展有关人类与人工智能互动的实验。沃纳斯奇说：“当人工智能对人们过于慷慨时，人们会做出同样的反应吗？人工智能总是被设定为表现得更像人类，而人们往往会把人工智能代理当作有思维的存在来对待，但实际上它们根本就没有思维。”)”可知，研究人员在后续研究中将会探究我们在人与人工智能的交互过程中是否需要考虑虚拟成本。故选D。 D In the animal kingdom, counting skills are known to help grab bigger meals or find safety in group sizes. But clownfish may have uncovered another “value” in numbers: identification. Despite their cute appearance, clownfish are territorial and aggressive (富于攻击性的). When they spot a member of their own species moving towards their place, they attack, biting and throwing out unwelcome visitors. There are 28 different species of clownfish, however. So how do they actually tell friends from enemies? Depending on the species, clownfish can have anywhere from zero to three white stripes (条纹). Previous research suggested the fish pay close attention to these markings. In a 2022 study, scientists found clownfish display more aggressive behavior (e.g., running after or biting others) toward fish with vertical (垂直的) stripes compared with those with horizontal stripes. This time around, ecologist Hayashi and colleagues assumed the fish could actually count those stripes. They placed 50 young, lab-raised common clownfish — which display the typical orange pattern like “Nemo” (a clownfish with three stripes from the film Finding Nemo) — into individual water tanks. Then, the researchers added other clownfish species, which had white stripes ranging from 0 to 3 and were protected inside a see-through case, in the original clownfish’s territory and filmed their reaction. The “native” fish couldn’t run after or bite the newcomers, but they could still rush them and stare them down. And that’s what happened when the newcomers wore the same number of stripes as the resident clownfish. They found that the native clownfish were the hardest on members of their own species with three white stripes. Those fish were run after and bitten 10 times more than those without stripes. Attacks on those fish were two times more frequent than on single-striped ones, and 1.3 times more frequent than on double-striped ones. It turned out that the researchers’ assumption had solid evidence. Even so, biologist Rhodes questions whether the animals are really counting or just noticing more white coloration on the attacked fish. “Maybe researchers could further clarify clownfish’s calculating capacity,” adds Rhodes. “An experiment that goes beyond stripes could help. Could these fish learn, for example, to prefer two squares to three squares?” 12. What new use of counting skills have clownfish demonstrated? A. Building up a large group. B. Making out potential threats. C. Finding reliable food sources. D. Measuring the size of their territory. 13. What did the 2022 study about clownfish focus on? A. The way they defend their territory. B. The diversity of their stripe patterns. C. The impact of their aggression on other species. D. The role of stripe patterns in their behavioral reaction. 14. Which of the following is a Nemo-like clownfish most likely to attack? A. A three-striped fish. B. A double-striped fish. C. A fish with one stripe. D. A fish without stripes. 15. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Rhodes in the last paragraph? A. To point out the significance of the study. B. To lead to an alternative viewpoint on the study. C. To show appreciation of clownfish’s learning ability. D. To support the researchers’ findings about clownfish. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍科学家实验发现小丑鱼依靠识别条纹数量辨别同类并实施攻击，推测小丑鱼拥有计数能力，同时介绍有学者对此结论提出不同看法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the animal kingdom, counting skills are known to help grab bigger meals or find safety in group sizes. But clownfish may have uncovered another “value” in numbers: identification.(在动物界，计数能力已知可以帮助动物获取更多食物或者依靠群体规模保障安全。但是小丑鱼或许发现了数字具备的另一重“用处”：辨别识别。)”以及倒数第二段“They found that the native clownfish were the hardest on members of their own species with three white stripes. Those fish were run after and bitten 10 times more than those without stripes. Attacks on those fish were two times more frequent than on single-striped ones, and 1.3 times more frequent than on double-striped ones. It turned out that the researchers’ assumption had solid evidence.(他们发现，本土小丑鱼对拥有三条白色条纹的同类最为凶狠。这类同类遭受追逐撕咬的次数是无条纹小丑鱼的十倍。针对它们的攻击频次是单条纹小丑鱼的两倍，是双条纹小丑鱼的1.3倍。事实证明，研究人员的猜想拥有可靠依据。)”可知，小丑鱼依靠条纹数量区分同类、发起攻击，也就是分辨潜在威胁。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a 2022 study, scientists found clownfish display more aggressive behavior (e.g., running after or biting others) toward fish with vertical (垂直的) stripes compared with those with horizontal stripes.(在2022年的一项研究中，科学家发现，相比带有横向条纹的鱼类，小丑鱼对带有竖向条纹的鱼会表现出更强的攻击行为，例如追逐、撕咬。)”可知， 2022年的研究围绕条纹样式如何影响小丑鱼的行为反应展开。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This time around, ecologist Hayashi and colleagues assumed the fish could actually count those stripes. They placed 50 young, lab-raised common clownfish — which display the typical orange pattern like “Nemo” (a clownfish with three stripes from the film Finding Nemo) — into individual water tanks. Then, the researchers added other clownfish species, which had white stripes ranging from 0 to 3 and were protected inside a see-through case, in the original clownfish’s territory and filmed their reaction. (这一次，生态学家林（Hayashi）及其团队猜想，小丑鱼实际上能够数出条纹数量。他们将50条人工培育的幼年普通小丑鱼 —— 有着典型的橘色体表花纹，和电影《海底总动员》里拥有三条条纹的小丑鱼“尼莫”一样 —— 分别放入独立水箱。随后研究者把其他品种的小丑鱼安置在透明容器中（这些鱼带有0至3条不等的白色条纹），放进原有小丑鱼的领地，并记录下它们的反应。)”以及第五段“They found that the native clownfish were the hardest on members of their own species with three white stripes.(他们发现，本土小丑鱼对拥有三条白色条纹的同类最为凶狠。)”可知，像“尼莫”一样有三条条纹的小丑鱼最有可能攻击同样有三条条纹的鱼。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even so, biologist Rhodes questions whether the animals are really counting or just noticing more white coloration on the attacked fish.(即便如此，生物学家罗兹提出疑问：这些鱼类是真的具备计数能力，还是仅仅注意到被攻击鱼身上有更多白色区域。)” 可知，罗兹提出了不同于实验结论的另一种可能性，引出看待这项研究的其他观点。 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。 You may have heard that some foods and drinks, such as grapefruit and alcohol, shouldn’t be consumed with certain drugs. But you might have no idea that dairy products can also make some drugs less effective. ____16____ Specifically, antibiotics (抗生素), which are used to treat bacterial infections, are among the most affected ones. When taken with dairy products, including milk, cheese and yogurt, some antibiotics, which need to be absorbed into the bloodstream to work effectively, are not absorbed as they should be. For instance, studies found that when CPFX is taken with milk, levels of the drug in the bloodstream are about 30% to 36% lower than when it is taken with water. ____17____ However, healthcare specialists generally believe that they also lower antibiotic levels in the blood, although not necessarily as much as a glass of milk would. ____18____ Dairy products contain a lot of elements that can attach to some antibiotics, forming “insoluble (不溶的) substances”. Insoluble substances cannot mix with the liquid inside the digestive system, preventing the antibiotics from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Consequently, the effectiveness of the antibiotics is significantly reduced. To avoid this, the key is to take antibiotics with water and to time your meals and medications. “Patients should take the drug 2 hours before or 6 hours after consuming dairy products,” says Shor, a medical professor. He also mentions looking out for other non-dairy sources, such as dietary supplements (补充物). ____19____ The good news is that this interaction with dairy products doesn’t affect all antibiotics. ____20____ A professional can help clarify whether dairy or some dietary supplements would make a given drug less powerful, and explain other potential drug interactions. A. Sometimes, it is a special milk protein to blame. B. There is less data on the effects of other dairy products. C. But how does dairy restrict the absorption of these drugs? D. This effect is particularly problematic for certain kinds of drugs. E. Even so, it’s necessary to consult doctors when taking medicine. F. These substances can also weaken the effectiveness of some antibiotics. G. This reduces the number of insoluble substances in the digestive system. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. C 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述乳制品会降低部分抗生素药效，解析原理并给出安全服药的专业建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“But you might have no idea that dairy products can also make some drugs less effective.(但你可能不知道乳制品也会降低部分药物药效。)”及下文“Specifically, antibiotics (抗生素), which are used to treat bacterial infections, are among the most affected ones.(具体来说，用于治疗细菌感染的抗生素受影响最大。)”可知，上文提出乳制品会降低药效，下文聚焦受影响的药物类别。本空应说明这种现象对某些特定药物尤其成问题。D选项“这种影响对于某些药物来说问题尤为突出”能承上启下，符合语境。 【17题详解】 由上文“For instance, studies found that when CPFX is taken with milk, levels of the drug in the bloodstream are about 30% to 36% lower than when it is taken with water.(例如，研究发现，环丙沙星搭配牛奶服用时，血液中的药物浓度比用水送服低30%至36%。)”及下文“However, healthcare specialists generally believe that they also lower antibiotic levels in the blood, although not necessarily as much as a glass of milk would.(然而医学专家普遍认为它们同样会降低血液内抗生素浓度，只是效果未必像一杯牛奶那样明显。)”可知，上文只列举了牛奶的相关研究，下文“they”指代其他乳制品。本空应说明关于其他乳制品的影响的数据较少。B选项“有关其他乳制品影响的数据相对有限”能承上启下，符合语境。 【18题详解】 由下文“Dairy products contain a lot of elements that can attach to some antibiotics, forming “insoluble (不溶的) substances”.(乳制品含有大量物质，可与部分抗生素结合形成不溶物。)”可知，下文具体解释乳制品影响药物吸收的原理。本空应对乳制品影响药物吸收的原理提问。C选项“但乳制品是如何抑制这些药物吸收的？”提出问题，引出下文原理阐释，符合语境。 【19题详解】 由上文“He also mentions looking out for other non-dairy sources, such as dietary supplements (补充物).(他还提醒留意非乳制品来源，例如膳食补充剂。)”可知，本空应继续说明膳食补充剂带来的影响。F选项“这些物质同样会削弱部分抗生素的药效”承接上文，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由上文“The good news is that this interaction with dairy products doesn’t affect all antibiotics.(好消息是，并非所有抗生素都会和乳制品发生相互作用。)”及下文“A professional can help clarify whether dairy or some dietary supplements would make a given drug less powerful, and explain other potential drug interactions.(专业人士可以帮助弄清乳制品是否会降低特定药物药效，并讲解其他潜在的药物相互作用。)”可知，上文说明该作用不适用全部抗生素，下文建议咨询专业人员。本空应说明咨询医生的必要性。E选项“即便如此，服药时咨询医生仍是很有必要的”承上启下，符合语境。 第二部分 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。 Miller, a freelance (自由职业的) journalist, moved from the city to a small town in 2019.

Our cat, Funny Girl, had a playful spirit, which often led to amusing but sometimes chaotic situations, My mom, a typical hostess, did her very best to keep the house and us kids, as well as our furry friends, under control. It was especially challenging around the holidays; nevertheless, she was an expert at planning and arranging holiday meals perfectly. One particular Thanksgiving, my mom got ready really early. She had set the table a week in advance, putting a big sheet over it so that dust and pet hair wouldn’t settle on the beautiful china. She made a list of all the dishes she would be preparing, changing it until she was satisfied with the spread. She even baked pies ahead of time and kept them in the freezer. The day before Thanksgiving, she got the big turkey ready and the next morning, she cooked it slowly. While she was busy in the kitchen, my brothers and sisters and I could only stay for a quick snack and then had to do our chores. My dad helped by making pretty decorations with flowers from our garden. By mid-afternoon, everything was ready, and the smell of roasting turkey with butter filled the air. Just before our guests were due to arrive, she pulled the turkey out of the oven and basted (浇油脂) it one last time. She covered it with aluminum foil (铝箔), and placed it on the kitchen counter to cool. She said this would make it juicier before my dad began cutting it into pieces. This also gave her time to increase the heat of the oven for the side dishes and gave her a break from the kitchen to return to her guests. Paragraph 1: However, as I entered the kitchen, I discovered a disaster. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “We still have the side dishes,” I tried to comfort my mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: However, as I entered the kitchen, I discovered a disaster. Our cat, Funny Girl, had climbed onto the counter and was nestling under the turkey, her tail the only visible part. Below, our dog was enjoying dropped turkey bits. I lifted the foil to find more than half of the turkey gone. Funny Girl stared directly at me, cool and innocent, before jumping down off the counter and walking away. I called for my mom, and she rushed in, her face already reflecting the horror she felt. She broke down as she cried, “My dinner is ruined.” Paragraph 2: “We still have the side dishes,” I tried to comfort my mom. The side dishes were all still in the oven. Then she burst out laughing. She knew that there was nothing left to do except move on and deal with the problem. She got the side dishes out of the oven and the pies from the freezer. Dad, upon seeing the situation, also laughed. As we served the meal, our guests, initially confused by the absence of turkey, joined in our laughter after we shared the story. That Thanksgiving became the most memorable one, not for the feast but for the unexpected. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者一家在感恩节准备大餐时，家里的猫和狗破坏了主菜火鸡，但作者一家通过乐观的态度和幽默化解了危机，使得这个感恩节成为最难忘的一个的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“然而，当我走进厨房时，我发现了一场灾难。”可知，第一段可描写作者进入厨房后看到的灾难性场景。从发现猫在火鸡下，狗在吃掉落的火鸡肉，到火鸡一半多没了，母亲进来后的崩溃，突出意外情况带来的冲击。 ②由第二段首句内容““我们还有配菜，”我试图安慰妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写作者安慰母亲后事情的发展。从提到还有配菜，母亲转而大笑，父亲也笑，到向客人解释后大家一起笑，强调这个感恩节因意外变得难忘，突出一家人积极面对意外的态度。 2.续写线索：进入厨房发现灾难场景（猫、狗和被吃的火鸡）——母亲崩溃——用配菜安慰母亲——母亲和父亲大笑——向客人解释后大家笑，感恩节因意外难忘。 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①突然大笑： burst out laughing /burst into laughter ②处理：deal with /do with ③困惑：confuse /puzzle 情绪类： ①惊恐：horror /panic ②难忘：memorable /unforgettable 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She knew that there was nothing left to do except move on and deal with the problem（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】As we served the meal, our guests, initially confused by the absence of turkey, joined in our laughter after we shared the story.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，以及after引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届云浮中学丰收校区高三阶段性检测 英语 考试时间：120分钟，满分：120分。 第一部分 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答案。 A A Field Trip for You Nygren Wetland Preserve, Rockton, Illinois FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15 @3:30 PM~ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16 @1:00 PM Nygren is a beautiful bird preserve which covers over 700 acres of natural wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands, making it a diverse and important ecosystem in the area.

B For 34-year-old Megan Swann, turning magic into something green was trickier than it first appeared. “You soon realize when you’re working as a magician at parties, no one wants to hear about deforestation (砍伐森林) while you’re performing the ‘torn and restored newspaper’. ‘Happy birthday! The world is burning!’ doesn’t really work,” she laughs. But she didn’t give up and insisted on making innovations in her magic — a new take on the age-old art form. It’s an interesting combination. There is, after all, something unnatural about magic: it breaks the laws of physics, suspends reality for a few magical seconds and disturbs our perception of the world. But it could also be a powerful force to help us reconnect with nature. Swann’s love for magic began at age five when she received a magic set. By age eight, she was attracted by a magician named Roy Marsh, whose performance at her birthday inspired her to start practicing. As a young magician, she joined the Young Magicians Club, eventually becoming involved with London’s famous Magic Circle. Swann realized that educational shows — rather than casual events — were her calling and she designed a show for schoolchildren. It included the “deforestation deception (骗局)” and other skillful green-fingered tricks. “I tried to link the tricks to action that people watching could take. So, I produced flowers and reminded them all to grow more things,” she says. Other tricks included the “Needle Through Balloon” representing heat being trapped, “Endless Water” to get the impact of turning off the tap, and “The Miser’s Dream” — a magic routine in which magicians classically produce coins from the air — but with lightbulbs instead of hard cash. And, like any good show — fire. “Because global warming is going to make things hot!” she says. Her work has gained recognition. In 2021, she became the first female president of the Magic Circle. Swann believes that magic, with its visual impact and ability to engage a wide audience, is a powerful tool to inspire action. “Magic shows that even impossible things can happen,” she concludes. 4. What might people think of Megan Swann’s green magic idea at first? A. Beneficial. B. Short-lived. C. Old-fashioned. D. Unappealing. 5. Why did Megan Swann persist in performing her special magic? A. To preserve the traditional art form. B. To stimulate environmental awareness. C. To entertain children at birthday parties. D. To promote famous magicians in history. 6. What can we know about Megan Swann? A. She enjoys gardening a lot. B. She showed a talent for acting at five. C. She is a creative and responsible person. D. She prefers fixed and traditional magic tricks. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Game-Changing Magician B. An Important Age-Old Art Form C. A Late Achiever in the Magic Field D. An Essential Part of School Education C If you’re offered a-free cookie, you might say yes. But if you’re paid to eat a free cookie, would your response be the same? You might politely refuse and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a new study, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” because they seem “too good to be true”. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered an additional $2. “People typically infer hidden costs from overly generous offers. In this case, the participants may think the cookies were poisoned,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch. Further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present common everyday scenes. In each case, past a certain threshold value (阈值), higher potential monetary gain at no cost reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that, against the “standard economic model”, which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, deals need to be understood as social interactions between people trying to read each other’s minds. If someone seems to go against accepted norms without a solid reason, we assume they have hidden purposes and infer there will be “phantom costs (幻影成本)”. The researchers also showed how to weaken phantom costs’ effect. In one experiment, participants were given three plane tickets for the same flight, respectively costing $235, $275, and $205. Most people chose the $205 ticket. However, if the third option was $15, hardly anyone chose the cheapest one. They rejected it because they imagined horrible phantom costs. However, when the researchers accounted for the incredibly cheap offer — very uncomfortable seats — most participants preferred the $15 flight. The scientists are also about to experiment with human and artificial intelligence interactions. “Will people act the same way when AI is overly generous to them?” Vonasch says. “AI is always programmed to appear more human-like and people tend to treat AI agents as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. What does the underlined part “smells fishy” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is worth studying. B. Is hard to realize. C. Seems untrustworthy. D. Sounds very appealing. 9. Which of the following options will participants most possibly refuse? A. A travel package with a 50% discount. B. Being offered cash for taking a lift home. C. A $100 reward for returning one’s lost phone. D. Being given a prize for accepting an interview. 10. What insight can businesses gain from the “cheap flight” experiment? A. Keep prices as low as possible. B. Offer customers a variety of options. C. Give explanations for overgenerous offers. D. Adjust pricing following competitors. 11. What will the researchers investigate in further studies? A. How AI’s responses impact humans’ expectations. B. How AI can be programmed to be more human-like. C. Whether AI can give humans overly generous offers. D. Whether we assume phantom costs in human-AI interactions. D In the animal kingdom, counting skills are known to help grab bigger meals or find safety in group sizes. But clownfish may have uncovered another “value” in numbers: identification. Despite their cute appearance, clownfish are territorial and aggressive (富于攻击性的). When they spot a member of their own species moving towards their place, they attack, biting and throwing out unwelcome visitors. There are 28 different species of clownfish, however. So how do they actually tell friends from enemies? Depending on the species, clownfish can have anywhere from zero to three white stripes (条纹). Previous research suggested the fish pay close attention to these markings. In a 2022 study, scientists found clownfish display more aggressive behavior (e.g., running after or biting others) toward fish with vertical (垂直的) stripes compared with those with horizontal stripes. This time around, ecologist Hayashi and colleagues assumed the fish could actually count those stripes. They placed 50 young, lab-raised common clownfish — which display the typical orange pattern like “Nemo” (a clownfish with three stripes from the film Finding Nemo) — into individual water tanks. Then, the researchers added other clownfish species, which had white stripes ranging from 0 to 3 and were protected inside a see-through case, in the original clownfish’s territory and filmed their reaction. The “native” fish couldn’t run after or bite the newcomers, but they could still rush them and stare them down. And that’s what happened when the newcomers wore the same number of stripes as the resident clownfish. They found that the native clownfish were the hardest on members of their own species with three white stripes. Those fish were run after and bitten 10 times more than those without stripes. Attacks on those fish were two times more frequent than on single-striped ones, and 1.3 times more frequent than on double-striped ones. It turned out that the researchers’ assumption had solid evidence. Even so, biologist Rhodes questions whether the animals are really counting or just noticing more white coloration on the attacked fish. “Maybe researchers could further clarify clownfish’s calculating capacity,” adds Rhodes. “An experiment that goes beyond stripes could help. Could these fish learn, for example, to prefer two squares to three squares?” 12. What new use of counting skills have clownfish demonstrated? A. Building up a large group. B. Making out potential threats. C. Finding reliable food sources. D. Measuring the size of their territory. 13. What did the 2022 study about clownfish focus on? A. The way they defend their territory. B. The diversity of their stripe patterns. C. The impact of their aggression on other species. D. The role of stripe patterns in their behavioral reaction. 14. Which of the following is a Nemo-like clownfish most likely to attack? A. A three-striped fish. B. A double-striped fish. C. A fish with one stripe. D. A fish without stripes. 15. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Rhodes in the last paragraph? A. To point out the significance of the study. B. To lead to an alternative viewpoint on the study. C. To show appreciation of clownfish’s learning ability. D. To support the researchers’ findings about clownfish. 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。 You may have heard that some foods and drinks, such as grapefruit and alcohol, shouldn’t be consumed with certain drugs. But you might have no idea that dairy products can also make some drugs less effective. ____16____ Specifically, antibiotics (抗生素), which are used to treat bacterial infections, are among the most affected ones. When taken with dairy products, including milk, cheese and yogurt, some antibiotics, which need to be absorbed into the bloodstream to work effectively, are not absorbed as they should be. For instance, studies found that when CPFX is taken with milk, levels of the drug in the bloodstream are about 30% to 36% lower than when it is taken with water. ____17____ However, healthcare specialists generally believe that they also lower antibiotic levels in the blood, although not necessarily as much as a glass of milk would. ____18____ Dairy products contain a lot of elements that can attach to some antibiotics, forming “insoluble (不溶的) substances”. Insoluble substances cannot mix with the liquid inside the digestive system, preventing the antibiotics from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Consequently, the effectiveness of the antibiotics is significantly reduced. To avoid this, the key is to take antibiotics with water and to time your meals and medications. “Patients should take the drug 2 hours before or 6 hours after consuming dairy products,” says Shor, a medical professor. He also mentions looking out for other non-dairy sources, such as dietary supplements (补充物). ____19____ The good news is that this interaction with dairy products doesn’t affect all antibiotics. ____20____ A professional can help clarify whether dairy or some dietary supplements would make a given drug less powerful, and explain other potential drug interactions. A. Sometimes, it is a special milk protein to blame. B. There is less data on the effects of other dairy products. C. But how does dairy restrict the absorption of these drugs? D. This effect is particularly problematic for certain kinds of drugs. E. Even so, it’s necessary to consult doctors when taking medicine. F. These substances can also weaken the effectiveness of some antibiotics. G. This reduces the number of insoluble substances in the digestive system. 第二部分 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。 Miller, a freelance (自由职业的) journalist, moved from the city to a small town in 2019.

The Students’ Union 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 I grew up in a family of five children, all perfectly spaced three years apart, With my father being a vet (兽医), our home was also a zoo, housing at least a dog and a cat, often accompanied by a rabbit or a hamster. Our cat, Funny Girl, had a playful spirit, which often led to amusing but sometimes chaotic situations, My mom, a typical hostess, did her very best to keep the house and us kids, as well as our furry friends, under control. It was especially challenging around the holidays; nevertheless, she was an expert at planning and arranging holiday meals perfectly. One particular Thanksgiving, my mom got ready really early. She had set the table a week in advance, putting a big sheet over it so that dust and pet hair wouldn’t settle on the beautiful china. She made a list of all the dishes she would be preparing, changing it until she was satisfied with the spread. She even baked pies ahead of time and kept them in the freezer. The day before Thanksgiving, she got the big turkey ready and the next morning, she cooked it slowly. While she was busy in the kitchen, my brothers and sisters and I could only stay for a quick snack and then had to do our chores. My dad helped by making pretty decorations with flowers from our garden. By mid-afternoon, everything was ready, and the smell of roasting turkey with butter filled the air. Just before our guests were due to arrive, she pulled the turkey out of the oven and basted (浇油脂) it one last time. She covered it with aluminum foil (铝箔), and placed it on the kitchen counter to cool. She said this would make it juicier before my dad began cutting it into pieces. This also gave her time to increase the heat of the oven for the side dishes and gave her a break from the kitchen to return to her guests. Paragraph 1: However, as I entered the kitchen, I discovered a disaster. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “We still have the side dishes,” I tried to comfort my mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
