B In recent days, Chinese agricultural technician Yang Xiugang has been receiving messages from Muhammad Usman, one of his trainees in Nigeria, asking for farming advice. Over the past few years, Yang has been devoted to helping farmers like Usman. Born in Cengong county in Southwest China’s Guizhou province, Yang started to learn hybrid rice production techniques in 1998, when the manager of the county’s seed company came to his town to develop the industry. After mastering the skills, he was hired by the company as a technician. Recommended by his employer, Yang set out on an African-aid program to share agricultural technology abroad and has worked in several countries over the past decade. Yang has been based in Jigawa State, Nigeria, since 2021. “The climate there is completely different from that in China. Temperatures swing sharply between day and night. Seedlings (幼苗) grow very fast — producing a new leaf every three days, compared with four or five days in Cengong,” he says, “so local varieties tended to collapse across large areas during wind and rain. Coupled with weak management, fields often had more weeds than rice, so yields were naturally low.” Faced with these challenges, Yang set aside his experience in China and started from the very beginning to understand the local planting cycle. He spent long days in the fields, observing rice growth and recording temperature and seedling development. After more than two years of research, he finally developed hybrid rice varieties adapted to local conditions. Thanks to his expertise, average rice yields rose from about 3,000 kg per hectare (公顷) in 2021 to between 9,750 and 10,500 kg per hectare by 2025. So far, Yang has trained 12 local farmers in Nigeria, including Usman, who has now become a skilled farmer. “Over the past two years, I have systematically learned seedling growing and other skills,” Usman says. “In the future, I will pass on the hybrid rice techniques I’ve learned to more people.” As for Yang, he hopes to expand the local hybrid rice planting area to 20,000 hectares before he retires. 24. Why did Yang go to Africa ten years ago? A. To take over his boss’s business. B. To search for improved rice seed varieties abroad. C. To spread agricultural knowledge and technology. D. To enlarge China’s international agricultural markets. 25. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. What Yang sought for in Nigeria. B. Why Nigeria had low rice output. C. How farmers manage rice planting. D. How local climate affects rice seedling growth. 26. What major contribution did Yang make in Nigeria? A. He shortened the local rice growth cycles. B. He greatly expanded the scale of local farmlands. C. He developed hybrid rice suited to local conditions. D. He introduced effective field weed-control methods. 27. What key lesson about farming can we learn from Yang’s experience? A. Team cooperation brings mutual benefits. B. Flexible adaptation leads to practical success. C. Professional skills require long-term accumulation. D. Humans can completely defeat natural conditions. C French company Airseas has promised to help cargo ships reduce their fuel consumption and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing — a 1,000-square-meter kite that will fly 300 meters above the water’s surface. So the global shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the benefits and efficiency of sails. The large, ship-sized kite is currently under development, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo ship will be automated, making it easy for crews to use. The kite and its launching equipment are fixed on a vessel’s deck; the crew only needs to press a few buttons, and the large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say cargo ships will abandon their engines entirely, but the kite will ease the load on these engines and lower fuel demand. Wind propels the ship, just as it did for centuries before industrialization. A 20% emissions cut may not sound significant, yet transporting massive volumes of goods across the high seas accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure tops the aviation sector, which contributed roughly 2% of worldwide emissions in 2021 per the International Energy Agency. Shipping is therefore a key target for emission reduction: roughly 90% of all global traded goods are transported by sea, according to the International Chamber of Shipping. Multiple firms have high hopes for this modern sail technology. Japanese shipping firm “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested over $2 million in related funding. 28. What is the main goal of Airseas’ Seawing project? A. To help cargo ships save fuel and cut emissions. B. To invent new equipment for entertainment at sea. C. To simplify sea exploration and sailing experience. D. To replace traditional engines on large cargo ships. 29. Which of the following is a major advantage of the Seawing? A. It can work without any engines. B. It is lightweight and easy to store on decks. C. It is convenient and user-friendly for crews. D. It can greatly increase ships’ sailing speed. 30. Why does the author mention the airline industry in Paragraph 3? A. To introduce a new research topic. B. To analyze the causes of industrial pollution. C. To prove the rapid growth of global emissions. D. To highlight the shipping industry’s huge emission volume. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. New Factories for Green Shipping Equipment B. Global Efforts to Reduce Aviation Emissions C. The Revival of Traditional Sailing in Modern Times D. Modern Kite Technology Helps Cut Shipping Emissions D Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population ages rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot. This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring a caregiver is often too expensive for most families, sometimes costing two or three times more than a humanoid robot, which is estimated at about $20,000. I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections. Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time. But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family? 32. What is the core practical advantage of care robots compared with human caregivers? A. Lower long-term economic costs. B. The ability to build intimate friendship. C. Simple installation and operation process. D. Complete guarantee of the elderly’s safety. 33. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Ignore. D. Discover. 34. What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4? A. The potential of AI in showing empathy. B. The urgent need to replace human care. C. The general weakness of human caregivers. D. The importance of human emotional interaction. 35. What is the author’s attitude tone in the last paragraph? A. Angry and accusatory. B. Reflective and concerned. C. Indifferent and dismissive. D. Sympathetic and confused. 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。 Finding time to exercise while struggling with schoolwork and other commitments can be a tough task for students. ____36____ By taking advantage of short breaks between classes or study sessions for quick workouts, students can gain the benefits of exercise alongside their academic responsibilities.

Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate. One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape. As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect. But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第二学期期末教学质量监测 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1．本试卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 4．考生必须保证答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回，试卷由考生保留。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is Mr. Maude’s job probably?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是美国圣安东尼奥市的几个著名旅游景点及其特色。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章REMEMBER THE ALAMO!部分中的“The Alamo, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a key historical landmark established in 1718. (阿拉莫是联合国教科文组织世界遗产，是建于1718年的重要历史地标)”可知，如果你对历史感兴趣，应该去The Alamo。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据EXPLORE THE RIVER WALK部分中的“Families can stroll hand-in-hand or enjoy a river cruise. (家庭可以手牵手漫步或享受河上巡游。)”以及“FAMILY FUN AT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN”部分中的“For a peaceful retreat, the San Antonio Botanical Garden spans 38 acres, providing ample space for kids to play. The Family Adventure Garden includes 15 fun learning spots about nature. Parents can also participate in family cooking classes using fresh produce from the Zachry Foundation Culinary Garden. (作为一个宁静的休憩之所，圣安东尼奥植物园占地38英亩，为孩子们提供了充足的玩耍空间。家庭冒险花园包括15个关于自然的趣味学习点。家长还可以参加家庭烹饪课程，使用Zachry基金会烹饪花园的新鲜农产品。)”可知，河滨步道和植物园的共同点是都适合家庭游玩。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据MORGAN’S WONDERLAND: FUN FOR ALL ABILITIES部分中的“Morgan’s Wonderland is an ultra-accessible theme park designed for children of all abilities, inspired by Morgan Hartman, a child with special needs. (摩根仙境是一个超无障碍主题公园，专为各种能力的孩子设计，灵感来自有特殊需求的儿童摩根·哈特曼。)”可知，摩根仙境的特别之处在于它是专门为残疾儿童设计的。 B In recent days, Chinese agricultural technician Yang Xiugang has been receiving messages from Muhammad Usman, one of his trainees in Nigeria, asking for farming advice. Over the past few years, Yang has been devoted to helping farmers like Usman. Born in Cengong county in Southwest China’s Guizhou province, Yang started to learn hybrid rice production techniques in 1998, when the manager of the county’s seed company came to his town to develop the industry. After mastering the skills, he was hired by the company as a technician. Recommended by his employer, Yang set out on an African-aid program to share agricultural technology abroad and has worked in several countries over the past decade. Yang has been based in Jigawa State, Nigeria, since 2021. “The climate there is completely different from that in China. Temperatures swing sharply between day and night. Seedlings (幼苗) grow very fast — producing a new leaf every three days, compared with four or five days in Cengong,” he says, “so local varieties tended to collapse across large areas during wind and rain. Coupled with weak management, fields often had more weeds than rice, so yields were naturally low.” Faced with these challenges, Yang set aside his experience in China and started from the very beginning to understand the local planting cycle. He spent long days in the fields, observing rice growth and recording temperature and seedling development. After more than two years of research, he finally developed hybrid rice varieties adapted to local conditions. Thanks to his expertise, average rice yields rose from about 3,000 kg per hectare (公顷) in 2021 to between 9,750 and 10,500 kg per hectare by 2025. So far, Yang has trained 12 local farmers in Nigeria, including Usman, who has now become a skilled farmer. “Over the past two years, I have systematically learned seedling growing and other skills,” Usman says. “In the future, I will pass on the hybrid rice techniques I’ve learned to more people.” As for Yang, he hopes to expand the local hybrid rice planting area to 20,000 hectares before he retires. 24. Why did Yang go to Africa ten years ago? A. To take over his boss’s business. B. To search for improved rice seed varieties abroad. C. To spread agricultural knowledge and technology. D. To enlarge China’s international agricultural markets. 25. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. What Yang sought for in Nigeria. B. Why Nigeria had low rice output. C. How farmers manage rice planting. D. How local climate affects rice seedling growth. 26. What major contribution did Yang make in Nigeria? A. He shortened the local rice growth cycles. B. He greatly expanded the scale of local farmlands. C. He developed hybrid rice suited to local conditions. D. He introduced effective field weed-control methods. 27. What key lesson about farming can we learn from Yang’s experience? A. Team cooperation brings mutual benefits. B. Flexible adaptation leads to practical success. C. Professional skills require long-term accumulation. D. Humans can completely defeat natural conditions. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了中国农业技术员杨秀刚在尼日利亚克服气候差异等挑战，通过研究培育适应当地条件的杂交水稻品种，显著提高水稻产量，并培训当地农民的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recommended by his employer, Yang set out on an African-aid program to share agricultural technology abroad and has worked in several countries over the past decade. (在雇主的推荐下，杨秀刚参加了一个对非援助项目，前往国外分享农业技术，并在过去十年里在多个国家工作过。)”可知，他前往非洲的目的是参与援助项目，分享农业技术，传播农业知识。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中““The climate there is completely different from that in China. Temperatures swing sharply between day and night. Seedlings (幼苗) grow very fast — producing a new leaf every three days, compared with four or five days in Cengong,” he says, “so local varieties tended to collapse across large areas during wind and rain. Coupled with weak management, fields often had more weeds than rice, so yields were naturally low.” (“那里气候与中国的完全不同。昼夜温差很大。幼苗生长得非常快——每三天就能长出一片新叶子，而在岑巩则需要四五天，”他说，“所以当地的水稻品种在风雨天气中往往会出现大面积倒伏。再加上管理不善，田里的杂草常常比水稻还多，所以产量自然就很低。”)”可知，尼日利亚的气候与中国不同，昼夜温差大，幼苗生长过快导致当地品种在风雨中大面积倒伏，加上管理不善，田间杂草多，产量低。本段整体分析了尼日利亚水稻产量低的原因。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“After more than two years of research, he finally developed hybrid rice varieties adapted to local conditions. (经过两年多的研究，他终于培育出适应当地条件的杂交水稻品种。)”可知，他在尼日利亚的主要贡献是培育出适应当地条件的杂交水稻品种。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Faced with these challenges, Yang set aside his experience in China and started from the very beginning to understand the local planting cycle. (面对这些挑战，杨秀刚暂时放下在中国的经验，从头开始了解当地的种植周期。)”以及他通过长期观察和研究最终取得成功的事例可知，他没有照搬中国经验，而是灵活调整方法以适应新环境，最终取得成功。由此可推知，从他的经历中学到的关键农业经验是，灵活适应能带来实际成功。 C French company Airseas has promised to help cargo ships reduce their fuel consumption and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing — a 1,000-square-meter kite that will fly 300 meters above the water’s surface. So the global shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the benefits and efficiency of sails. The large, ship-sized kite is currently under development, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo ship will be automated, making it easy for crews to use. The kite and its launching equipment are fixed on a vessel’s deck; the crew only needs to press a few buttons, and the large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say cargo ships will abandon their engines entirely, but the kite will ease the load on these engines and lower fuel demand. Wind propels the ship, just as it did for centuries before industrialization. A 20% emissions cut may not sound significant, yet transporting massive volumes of goods across the high seas accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure tops the aviation sector, which contributed roughly 2% of worldwide emissions in 2021 per the International Energy Agency. Shipping is therefore a key target for emission reduction: roughly 90% of all global traded goods are transported by sea, according to the International Chamber of Shipping. Multiple firms have high hopes for this modern sail technology. Japanese shipping firm “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested over $2 million in related funding. 28. What is the main goal of Airseas’ Seawing project? A. To help cargo ships save fuel and cut emissions. B. To invent new equipment for entertainment at sea. C. To simplify sea exploration and sailing experience. D. To replace traditional engines on large cargo ships. 29. Which of the following is a major advantage of the Seawing? A. It can work without any engines. B. It is lightweight and easy to store on decks. C. It is convenient and user-friendly for crews. D. It can greatly increase ships’ sailing speed. 30. Why does the author mention the airline industry in Paragraph 3? A. To introduce a new research topic. B. To analyze the causes of industrial pollution. C. To prove the rapid growth of global emissions. D. To highlight the shipping industry’s huge emission volume. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. New Factories for Green Shipping Equipment B. Global Efforts to Reduce Aviation Emissions C. The Revival of Traditional Sailing in Modern Times D. Modern Kite Technology Helps Cut Shipping Emissions 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍法国公司研发的“海上之翼”风力风筝装置，该现代化风帆技术能够辅助货船航行、节省燃料、减少温室气体排放，并阐述了该技术的优势、行业价值与发展前景。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“French company Airseas has promised to help cargo ships reduce their fuel consumption and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. (法国Airseas公司承诺帮助货船减少燃料消耗，平均降低20%的温室气体排放量。)”可知，该项目的主要目标是帮助货船节能减碳。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo ship will be automated, making it easy for crews to use. (该设备的启动和运行全程自动化，船员操作十分简便。)”以及“the crew only needs to press a few buttons. (船员只需按下几个按钮即可使用)”可知，该设备操作便捷、易于使用。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A 20% emissions cut may not sound significant, yet transporting massive volumes of goods across the high seas accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure tops the aviation sector, which contributed roughly 2% of worldwide emissions. (减少20%的排放量听起来可能并不显著，但大量货物在海上运输所造成的温室气体排放占全球总量的3%。这一数字超过了航空业，后者约占全球排放量的2%。)”可知，作者通过对比航空业，突出海运行业碳排放体量巨大，减排意义重大。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕核心内容展开：现代风筝风帆技术（Seawing）助力货船节能减排，介绍其功能、优势、行业价值与投资前景。D项“现代风筝技术有助于减少航运排放”精准概括全文主旨，为最佳标题。 D Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population ages rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot. This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring a caregiver is often too expensive for most families, sometimes costing two or three times more than a humanoid robot, which is estimated at about $20,000. I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections. Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time. But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family? 32. What is the core practical advantage of care robots compared with human caregivers? A. Lower long-term economic costs. B. The ability to build intimate friendship. C. Simple installation and operation process. D. Complete guarantee of the elderly’s safety. 33. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Ignore. D. Discover. 34. What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4? A. The potential of AI in showing empathy. B. The urgent need to replace human care. C. The general weakness of human caregivers. D. The importance of human emotional interaction. 35. What is the author’s attitude tone in the last paragraph? A. Angry and accusatory. B. Reflective and concerned. C. Indifferent and dismissive. D. Sympathetic and confused. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍养老机器人相较于人类护工的多重优势，同时反思普及养老机器人可能带来的亲情疏离等潜在问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Hiring a caregiver is often too expensive for most families, sometimes costing two or three times more than a humanoid robot, which is estimated at about $20,000.(雇佣护工对大多数家庭来说成本高昂，费用有时是人形机器人的两到三倍，人形机器人造价约两万美元。)”以及第三段中的“A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology.(机器人属于一次性投入，后期维护成本极低，还可通过云计算完成系统更新。)”可知，养老机器人的核心实用优势是长期经济成本更低。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections.(我曾接诊过因看护空档而走失、严重脱水的老年患者。得益于电池续航能力的提升以及自主充电功能，不知疲倦的机器人能够mitigate这类。可靠的机器人伴侣还能陪伴老人外出散步或参加社区活动，增进而非削弱他们的社会联系。)”可知，机器人伴侣能增进老人的的社会联系，所以机器人可以解决或缓解前文提到的护理不到位导致的严重问题。因此，mitigate意为“减轻、缓解”，与Reduce意思相近。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans-a surprising but telling result.(近期一项研究发现，人工智能的回应比人类更具共情力、更富同情心，这一结果出人意料却极具说服力。)”可推知，作者引用该研究，意在表明人工智能在共情、情感回应方面具备巨大潜力。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family?(如果知道奶奶有机器人照料，我下班后还会抽空探望吗？邻居还会主动照看她吗？随着她各项身体机能衰退，与家人相比，她和机器人相处时会感到更加自在吗？)”可推知，作者连用多个反问，反思机器人养老可能引发的亲情缺失问题，语气充满思考与担忧。 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。 Finding time to exercise while struggling with schoolwork and other commitments can be a tough task for students. ____36____ By taking advantage of short breaks between classes or study sessions for quick workouts, students can gain the benefits of exercise alongside their academic responsibilities.

Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate. One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape. As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect. But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer. Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了野生动物摄影爱好者Sarah在追逐摄影梦想的过程中，偶然发现一只被困猎夹的狐狸，面临艺术追求与生命救助的抉择。她最终放弃拍摄机会选择救助动物，并由此转变人生方向，将摄影与动物保护结合，用镜头传递更深层的生态关怀。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不一会儿，一些救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了。”以及第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知，第一段可描写救援人员的及时相助救下了狐狸。而Sarah也决定加入救援团队，成为一名志愿者。 ②由第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知，第二段可描写Sarah决定将摄影和救援小动物相结合。 2.续写线索：不久后，救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了——救援人员小心翼翼靠近狐狸，安抚着小动物——他们将狐狸从陷阱中救出来——Sarah看着这一切，决定加入救援团队，成为一名志愿者——加入救援团队后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想——狐狸的事情让她深有感触——她决定将自己对摄影的热爱和救援小动物结合起来——此后，她的摄影风格发生了改变，她对人与自然的关系也有了新的看法 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach/ come close to ②决定：decide/ make a decision to/determine ③致力于：commit oneself to/ devote oneself to 情绪类 ①害怕的：frightened/ terrified ②缓和：relief/ easement 【点睛】【高分句型1】No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief.（运用了no sooner…than…引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need.（运用了whenever引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I find IT so quick to do writing tasks on my laptop.
