B South Florida’s coastal seawalls, which Keith Van de Riet, a professor at the University of Kansas, fittingly names the “forgotten edge”, have long posed a severe threat to marine ecosystems. These man-made concrete structures, originally built to protect human properties, have replaced the natural life-sustaining intertidal (潮间) zones with smooth single-dimensional surfaces, significantly destroying habitats that once supported a wealth of marine creatures. As an architect and a keen fisherman, Van de Riet observed that large-scale seawall construction had eliminated winding mangrove forests and streams in the life-rich intertidal zone, where oysters, crabs and fish once thrived (繁荣). Marine organisms, which rely on gaps and holes for shelter and reproduction, find such smooth structures totally uninhabitable. He was deeply concerned about this issue. Drawing on nature’s wisdom, Van de Riet created mangrove planters after careful research and design. These planters are intentionally cut roughly to copy natural oyster beds and mangrove roots which provide essential habitat for marine life. When hung on otherwise featureless seawalls, each planter can house two living mangrove trees, creating small but vital ecosystems that sustain marine species. In 2023, Van de Riet had his first set of one-of-a-kind planters installed on a newly built seawall in a residential canal in South Florida. The results exceeded expectations. Within months, fish, oysters and other marine life occupied the area, turning the dead-end canal into a thriving coastal ecosystem. Rachel Gittman, a coastal ecologist, warns that copying the complexity of natural habitats is tough yet acknowledges that Van de Riet’s planters outperform conventional seawalls by balancing human needs and marine biodiversity. She notes that scaling up such innovations requires significant policy adjustments from national and local governments. 4. Why does Van de Riet call the seawalls “forgotten edge”? A. To reveal a marine possibility. B. To criticize faulty architecture. C. To expose ignored ecological harm. D. To emphasize geographical location. 5. What is the core concept behind Van de Riet’s design? A. Nature-based habitat restoration. B. Harmony with coastal beauty. C. Human-focused landscape engineering. D. Survival of the fittest in nature. 6. How do Van de Riet’s planters mainly function? A. Purifying sea water. B. Establishing artificial nesting sites. C. Securing residential areas. D. Weakening wave force on seawalls. 7. What does Gittman think is a must to promote innovations like the planters? A. Rich experience. B. Public participation. C. Official initiatives. D. Financial investment. C Getting outside for a breath of fresh air feels like a reset for a lot of people. For others, it does the opposite. Nature triggers stress, discomfort, or a strong urge to get back indoors. Researchers have a name for that reaction: biophobia. A new review of nearly 200 studies, pulling together decades of research across psychology, ecology, and medicine, suggests it may be becoming more common. Animal phobias (动物恐惧症) affect only an estimated 4 to 5 percent of people worldwide. For those individuals, encounters with wildlife can trigger anxiety, nausea, and stress that push them away from natural spaces. But the authors say the issue reaches further. Many people without phobias still feel uneasy around insects, reptiles, or unfamiliar animals, even when there’s no real danger. That discomfort keeps them out of parks and trails, spaces long linked to better physical and mental health. What underlies such discomfort? Individual psychology matters, particularly sensitivity to anxiety. Biology plays a role, too, since age and genetics influence stress responses. Social factors appear especially powerful. Media coverage leans hard on rare animal attacks, and social media doesn’t help. After enough repetition, nature starts to feel dangerous rather than familiar. Where you live and how your family talks about nature shape how nature feels. If wildlife conflict news shows up regularly, fear can settle in long before personal experience does. However, one issue is how narrowly biophobia has been studied. Nearly all existing research focuses on fear of animals rather than aversion to nature as a whole. Spiders and mammals dominate the data, while harmless species receive little attention. That gap leaves researchers with limited insight into why discomfort toward nature appears to be expanding. The consequences are profound. People who avoid nature feel less connected to it, which further reduces outdoor exposure and leaves even fewer motivated to protect it. Over generations, that reinforcing cycle can thin people’s relationship with the natural world, posing greater challenges for conservation efforts that depend on public support. 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. People with animal phobias tend to stay indoors all the time. B. Dangerous animals cause people to be affected by biophobia. C. Only a small percentage of people suffer from animal phobias. D. People have biophobia because they experience animal phobias. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The essence of biophobia. B. The sources of biophobia. C. The definition of biophobia. D. The symptom of biophobia. 10. What does the underlined word “aversion” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Strong dislike. B. Deep attraction. C. Total closeness. D. Special preference. 11. Which of the following may NOT be one of the consequences of biophobia? A. The reduced motivation for natural protection. B. The weakened bond between humans and nature. C. Greater challenges to environmental conservation. D. The reinforcing cycle of less outdoor exposure. D When you were little, did you fight with your brother or sister about who would get the last gummy bear? Or who got to sit in the front of the ride? Behind these cases lies a hidden mindset — zero-sum thinking, a term that comes from math. In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero. Oskar Morgenstern first formally described this concept in the 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Since then it has been widely used in economic theories and game theory. Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology, some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors who were forced to compete over limited resources. As such, the tendency to subjectively view resource distribution as zero-sum might have been the dominant strategy in our evolutionary past, giving individuals with higher zero-sum beliefs a relative advantage over others. Thus, in modern environments, zero-sum beliefs are adopted under similar conditions of threat and resource-shortage and can be overridden only with thoughtful reflection. Zero-sum beliefs have important intrapersonal and interpersonal consequences. At the intrapersonal level, greater approval of zero-sum beliefs is associated with more negative (and less positive) effects, more greed and lower life satisfaction. Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally detrimental, such as when negotiators who believe that their counterparts gain at their expense overlook opportunities for mutually beneficial deals. More broadly, people who adopt zero-sum beliefs often feel lonelier. Thus, zero-sum beliefs are associated with both the quality and the quantity of close personal relationships. To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange surpluses or favors with others. Doing so provides the necessary ingredients for trust and mutual benefit to form, which are both necessary for any business or economy to function optimally, in good times and in bad. 12. Which is the core of zero-sum mindset? A. Every coin has two sides. B. The other’s gain is your loss. C. Many hands make light work. D. United we stand, divided we fall. 13. What does paragraph 2 try to stress concerning zero-sum thinking? A. It is unique to humans. B. It tends to be short-lived. C. It helped ancestors survive. D. It is hardwired into humans. 14. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Dynamic. B. Complex. C. Harmful. D. Consistent. 15. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Trust is a two-way street. B. A true win-win is attainable. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Economy undergoes thick and thin. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How was your sleep last night? As is known to us all, sleep habits have a significant effect on our health. ____16____ Jump scares from alarms A young woman recently shared online that she felt dizzy and threw up after her loud alarm woke her up. ____17____ The body changes during sleep, making people vulnerable in the early hours, Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Center told Daily Mail. During the later part of the night, the nervous system is less active and most of the body processes slow down. When a sudden noise occurs, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing will react more rapidly. Waking up suddenly is not desirable, but it’s difficult for most people to wake up by themselves naturally. ____18____ Another way can be leaving the curtains half open before sleep-the sunshine in the morning can slowly wake you up. ____19____ Although valuing the 8-hour golden rule of sleeping, some young people may go to bed late and then get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am. However, this can be problematic since human bodies can tell the time. “Environmental cues such as temperature and light levels tell the body what time it is,” expert Nerina Ramlakhan wrote in a book about sleep. Ramlakhan added that waking up late the next day could also lead to sleep inertia, which is a state between sleep and waking. ____20____ The habit may turn into a disorder called delayed sleep phase syndrome if it is serious enough to affect a person’s study, work and other aspects of life. Special treatments have already been developed to treat the disorder, such as using light to gradually change sleeping patterns. A. Sleep late, get up late. B. Early to bed, early up. C. Here are ways that can help us develop some good sleep habits. D. This is why, after oversleeping, people may feel even more tired. E. A more mild alarm may be helpful, giving the body some time to adjust. F. Let’s check out some sleep habits that may accidentally harm your health. G. It was because the blood supply to part of her brain was shortly blocked, according to her diagnosis record. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter morning, the Gatton Landfill west of Brisbane was already full of activity.

When Tim handed her the box, tears rolled down her wrinkled face. “My grandfather ___32___ his unit (小队) by carrying injured soldiers to safety,” she said softly. Going viral on social media, Tim’s deed earned Councilor Julie Re’s ___33___ for his honesty. But for Tim, the real reward was the woman’s ___34___ smile.

My grades were near perfect, my notebooks neat, and my answers quick and confident. Success came so naturally that I began to believe it was part of who I was. Being excellent was not just something I did, but it quietly shaped how I measured myself and my value. When I received my college acceptance letter, I imagined the same story continuing, only on a larger stage. However, college did not follow the script (人生规划) I had written for myself. From the first semester on, I realized I was no longer special. In lecture halls filled with hundreds of students, my raised hand often went unnoticed. Classmates spoke with ease and depth I could not match. The first exam results arrived quietly, yet their message was loud enough: I was average. Some scores were even below average. I stared at the numbers, feeling as if they were questioning my entire past. At first, I tried harder, studying longer hours, skipping meals, and even sleeping less. Yet, the harder I pushed, the more exhausted I became. My grades improved only slightly, never enough to bring back the old certainty. Slowly, disappointment turned into shame. I stopped calling home, afraid that any question about school would expose my failure. I avoided group discussions and sat in the back row, hoping no one would notice how far I had fallen. The real breaking point came during a group project presentation in my second year. Assigned as the team leader, I was supposed to organize the discussion and deliver the final summary. Yet when the moment arrived, my mind went blank. My voice shook, my slides were confusing, and my classmates had to step in to finish what I could not. Afterward, no one blamed me, but their polite silence felt worse than criticism. 注意：1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I turned to my academic advisor Ms. White for help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I chose to follow her advice and started to change myself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度（下）沈阳市第二十中学 期末测试 高二年级英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 分数：150分 试卷说明：试卷共两部分：第一部分：选择题型（1-55题95分） 第二部分：非选择题型（56-写作55分） 第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共95分） 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卡上。 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.

Rachel Gittman, a coastal ecologist, warns that copying the complexity of natural habitats is tough yet acknowledges that Van de Riet’s planters outperform conventional seawalls by balancing human needs and marine biodiversity. She notes that scaling up such innovations requires significant policy adjustments from national and local governments. 4. Why does Van de Riet call the seawalls “forgotten edge”? A. To reveal a marine possibility. B. To criticize faulty architecture. C. To expose ignored ecological harm. D. To emphasize geographical location. 5. What is the core concept behind Van de Riet’s design? A. Nature-based habitat restoration. B. Harmony with coastal beauty. C. Human-focused landscape engineering. D. Survival of the fittest in nature. 6. How do Van de Riet’s planters mainly function? A. Purifying sea water. B. Establishing artificial nesting sites. C. Securing residential areas. D. Weakening wave force on seawalls. 7. What does Gittman think is a must to promote innovations like the planters? A. Rich experience. B. Public participation. C. Official initiatives. D. Financial investment. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过介绍Keith Van de Riet设计的红树林种植器，说明基于自然智慧的创新设计可以有效修复被传统海堤破坏的海洋生态系统，并呼吁政府和政策层面的支持以推广此类解决方案。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“South Florida’s coastal seawalls, which Keith Van de Riet, a professor at the University of Kansas, fittingly names the “forgotten edge”, have long posed a severe threat to marine ecosystems. These man-made concrete structures, originally built to protect human properties, have replaced the natural life-sustaining intertidal (潮间) zones with smooth single-dimensional surfaces, significantly destroying habitats that once supported a wealth of marine creatures.(南佛罗里达沿海的海堤——堪萨斯大学教授Keith Van de Riet称之为“被遗忘的边缘”——长期以来对海洋生态系统构成了严重威胁。这些人造混凝土结构最初是为了保护人类财产而建造的，却用光滑的单维表面取代了原本维持生命的天然潮间带，严重破坏了曾经孕育丰富海洋生物的栖息地。)”可知，Keith Van de Riet称海堤为“被遗忘的边缘”，是因为这些结构长期对海洋生态系统造成严重威胁，破坏了原本丰富的栖息地，而这种生态危害一直被忽视。因此，他使用这一称呼是为了揭示被忽略的生态破坏。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Drawing on nature’s wisdom, Van de Riet created mangrove planters after careful research and design. These planters are intentionally cut roughly to copy natural oyster beds and mangrove roots which provide essential habitat for marine life.(借鉴自然的智慧，Van de Riet经过仔细的研究和设计，创造出了红树林种植器。这些种植器故意切割得粗糙，以模仿天然牡蛎床和红树林根系，为海洋生物提供必要的栖息地。)”可知，Van de Riet的设计核心是借鉴自然的智慧，通过模仿天然牡蛎床和红树林根系来恢复海洋生物的栖息地，这体现了基于自然的栖息地恢复理念。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“When hung on otherwise featureless seawalls, each planter can house two living mangrove trees, creating small but vital ecosystems that sustain marine species.(当挂在原本毫无特征的海堤上时，每个种植器可以容纳两棵活的红树林，形成微小但至关重要的生态系统，维持海洋物种的生存。)”可知，种植器的主要功能是在无特征的海堤上建立人工生态系统，为鱼类、牡蛎等海洋生物提供栖息和繁殖的场所，即人工巢位。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“She notes that scaling up such innovations requires significant policy adjustments from national and local governments.(她指出，要推广这类创新，需要国家和地方政府进行重大的政策调整。)”可知，Gittman认为，推广这类创新需要国家和地方政府的重大政策调整，即官方层面的行动。 C Getting outside for a breath of fresh air feels like a reset for a lot of people. For others, it does the opposite. Nature triggers stress, discomfort, or a strong urge to get back indoors. Researchers have a name for that reaction: biophobia. A new review of nearly 200 studies, pulling together decades of research across psychology, ecology, and medicine, suggests it may be becoming more common. Animal phobias (动物恐惧症) affect only an estimated 4 to 5 percent of people worldwide. For those individuals, encounters with wildlife can trigger anxiety, nausea, and stress that push them away from natural spaces. But the authors say the issue reaches further. Many people without phobias still feel uneasy around insects, reptiles, or unfamiliar animals, even when there’s no real danger. That discomfort keeps them out of parks and trails, spaces long linked to better physical and mental health. What underlies such discomfort? Individual psychology matters, particularly sensitivity to anxiety. Biology plays a role, too, since age and genetics influence stress responses. Social factors appear especially powerful. Media coverage leans hard on rare animal attacks, and social media doesn’t help. After enough repetition, nature starts to feel dangerous rather than familiar. Where you live and how your family talks about nature shape how nature feels. If wildlife conflict news shows up regularly, fear can settle in long before personal experience does. However, one issue is how narrowly biophobia has been studied. Nearly all existing research focuses on fear of animals rather than aversion to nature as a whole. Spiders and mammals dominate the data, while harmless species receive little attention. That gap leaves researchers with limited insight into why discomfort toward nature appears to be expanding. The consequences are profound. People who avoid nature feel less connected to it, which further reduces outdoor exposure and leaves even fewer motivated to protect it. Over generations, that reinforcing cycle can thin people’s relationship with the natural world, posing greater challenges for conservation efforts that depend on public support. 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. People with animal phobias tend to stay indoors all the time. B. Dangerous animals cause people to be affected by biophobia. C. Only a small percentage of people suffer from animal phobias. D. People have biophobia because they experience animal phobias. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The essence of biophobia. B. The sources of biophobia. C. The definition of biophobia. D. The symptom of biophobia. 10. What does the underlined word “aversion” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Strong dislike. B. Deep attraction. C. Total closeness. D. Special preference. 11. Which of the following may NOT be one of the consequences of biophobia? A. The reduced motivation for natural protection. B. The weakened bond between humans and nature. C. Greater challenges to environmental conservation. D. The reinforcing cycle of less outdoor exposure. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕biophobia（自然恐惧症）展开：开篇定义概念，指出其愈发普遍；其次说明动物恐惧症的患病比例及泛化的自然不适；接着剖析自然恐惧症的多重成因；再点明现有研究的局限性；最后阐述该症状带来的深远负面影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Animal phobias (动物恐惧症) affect only an estimated 4 to 5 percent of people worldwide.(动物恐惧症仅影响全球约4%至5%的人群)”可知，只有极少数人会患有动物恐惧症。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“What underlies such discomfort? Individual psychology matters, particularly sensitivity to anxiety. Biology plays a role, too, since age and genetics influence stress responses. Social factors appear especially powerful. Media coverage leans hard on rare animal attacks, and social media doesn’t help. After enough repetition, nature starts to feel dangerous rather than familiar. Where you live and how your family talks about nature shape how nature feels. If wildlife conflict news shows up regularly, fear can settle in long before personal experience does.(造成这种不适感的根本原因是什么？个人心理因素很重要，尤其是对焦虑的敏感度。生物学因素也起着作用，因为年龄和遗传因素会影响应激反应。社会因素似乎尤其具有影响力。媒体的报道往往侧重于罕见的动物攻击事件，而社交媒体则无益处。经过足够的重复，大自然开始让人感觉危险而非熟悉。你所居住的地方以及你的家人对大自然的谈论方式会影响这种感觉。如果有关野生动物冲突的新闻经常出现，恐惧在个人亲身经历之前就会深深扎根于心中)”可知，第三段的主要观点是生物恐惧症的成因。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Spiders and mammals dominate the data, while harmless species receive little attention. That gap leaves researchers with limited insight into why discomfort toward nature appears to be expanding.(蜘蛛和哺乳动物的数据占据了主导地位，而无害的物种则很少受到关注。这种差距使得研究人员难以深入了解为何对自然的反感似乎在不断扩大)”可知，现有的几乎所有研究，都聚焦于对动物的恐惧，而非对大自然整体的厌恶抵触。故划线词意思是“强烈的厌恶” 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The consequences are profound. People who avoid nature feel less connected to it, which further reduces outdoor exposure and leaves even fewer motivated to protect it. Over generations, that reinforcing cycle can thin people’s relationship with the natural world, posing greater challenges for conservation efforts that depend on public support.(其影响是深远的。那些远离自然的人会感觉与自然的联系更加疏远，这进一步减少了他们接触自然的机会，使得愿意保护自然的人也变得越来越少。随着时间的推移，这种相互强化的循环会削弱人们与自然界的联系，给依赖公众支持的保护工作带来更大的挑战)”可知，室外活动减少的恶性循环可能不是“生物恐惧症”所带来的后果。 D When you were little, did you fight with your brother or sister about who would get the last gummy bear? Or who got to sit in the front of the ride? Behind these cases lies a hidden mindset — zero-sum thinking, a term that comes from math. In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero. Oskar Morgenstern first formally described this concept in the 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Since then it has been widely used in economic theories and game theory. Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology, some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors who were forced to compete over limited resources. As such, the tendency to subjectively view resource distribution as zero-sum might have been the dominant strategy in our evolutionary past, giving individuals with higher zero-sum beliefs a relative advantage over others. Thus, in modern environments, zero-sum beliefs are adopted under similar conditions of threat and resource-shortage and can be overridden only with thoughtful reflection. Zero-sum beliefs have important intrapersonal and interpersonal consequences. At the intrapersonal level, greater approval of zero-sum beliefs is associated with more negative (and less positive) effects, more greed and lower life satisfaction. Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally detrimental, such as when negotiators who believe that their counterparts gain at their expense overlook opportunities for mutually beneficial deals. More broadly, people who adopt zero-sum beliefs often feel lonelier. Thus, zero-sum beliefs are associated with both the quality and the quantity of close personal relationships. To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange surpluses or favors with others. Doing so provides the necessary ingredients for trust and mutual benefit to form, which are both necessary for any business or economy to function optimally, in good times and in bad. 12. Which is the core of zero-sum mindset? A. Every coin has two sides. B. The other’s gain is your loss. C. Many hands make light work. D. United we stand, divided we fall. 13. What does paragraph 2 try to stress concerning zero-sum thinking? A. It is unique to humans. B. It tends to be short-lived. C. It helped ancestors survive. D. It is hardwired into humans. 14. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Dynamic. B. Complex. C. Harmful. D. Consistent. 15. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Trust is a two-way street. B. A true win-win is attainable. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Economy undergoes thick and thin. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了零和思维的概念、起源、影响以及应对方法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“ In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero. (在零和博弈中，所有参与者的收益与损失之和恒为零。)”可知，零和博弈中所有人得失相加为 0，意味着一方获利，另一方必然受损。A. 凡事有利有弊；B. 他人之得，即为你之失；C. 人多力量大；D. 团结则存，分裂则亡。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology, some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors who were forced to compete over limited resources. As such, the tendency to subjectively view resource distribution as zero-sum might have been the dominant strategy in our evolutionary past, giving individuals with higher zero-sum beliefs a relative advantage over others. ( 部分学者借鉴进化心理学的观点提出：零和思维是早期人类祖先为适应环境而形成的一种认知本能，彼时人类不得不围绕有限的资源展开竞争。因此，在人类进化历程中，主观上将资源分配视作零和博弈的思维倾向，曾是主流生存策略，那些零和观念更强的个体，相较他人会拥有一定生存优势。)”可知，零和思维是人类进化形成的认知本能，是进化遗留的固有思维，很难主动摆脱，属于人类与生俱来的思维模式。由此可知，第二段侧重说明零和思维是人类进化形成的固有本能。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“such as when negotiators who believe that their counterparts gain at their expense overlook opportunities for mutually beneficial deals. (例如，有些谈判 者认为对手的获益必然建立在自己的损失之上，因而会错失达成互利共赢协议的机会。)”可知，零和思维对人际关系产生了有害的影响，由此可知，detrimental意为“有害的”。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange surpluses or favors with others. (为了对抗这些影响，我们可以记住，与他人进行非零和互动的机会有很多，比如寻找与他人交换剩余或恩惠的机会。)”可知，作者认为存在许多非零和互动的机会，即真正的双赢是可以实现的。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How was your sleep last night? As is known to us all, sleep habits have a significant effect on our health. ____16____ Jump scares from alarms A young woman recently shared online that she felt dizzy and threw up after her loud alarm woke her up. ____17____ The body changes during sleep, making people vulnerable in the early hours, Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Center told Daily Mail. During the later part of the night, the nervous system is less active and most of the body processes slow down. When a sudden noise occurs, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing will react more rapidly. Waking up suddenly is not desirable, but it’s difficult for most people to wake up by themselves naturally. ____18____ Another way can be leaving the curtains half open before sleep-the sunshine in the morning can slowly wake you up. ____19____ Although valuing the 8-hour golden rule of sleeping, some young people may go to bed late and then get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am. However, this can be problematic since human bodies can tell the time. “Environmental cues such as temperature and light levels tell the body what time it is,” expert Nerina Ramlakhan wrote in a book about sleep. Ramlakhan added that waking up late the next day could also lead to sleep inertia, which is a state between sleep and waking. ____20____ The habit may turn into a disorder called delayed sleep phase syndrome if it is serious enough to affect a person’s study, work and other aspects of life. Special treatments have already been developed to treat the disorder, such as using light to gradually change sleeping patterns. A. Sleep late, get up late. B. Early to bed, early up. C. Here are ways that can help us develop some good sleep habits. D. This is why, after oversleeping, people may feel even more tired. E. A more mild alarm may be helpful, giving the body some time to adjust. F. Let’s check out some sleep habits that may accidentally harm your health. G. It was because the blood supply to part of her brain was shortly blocked, according to her diagnosis record. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. E 19. A 20.

Personally, I am strongly in favor of this decision. While AI tools can generate essays quickly, relying on them hinders our language learning. Take my experience as an example. I once used AI to complete a writing assignment. Although I got a good grade, I found myself struggling to express ideas independently in the following exam. It was then that I realized true writing skills can only be acquired through independent practice. Therefore, your rule will definitely encourage us to improve our writing abilities genuinely.

My grades were near perfect, my notebooks neat, and my answers quick and confident. Success came so naturally that I began to believe it was part of who I was. Being excellent was not just something I did, but it quietly shaped how I measured myself and my value. When I received my college acceptance letter, I imagined the same story continuing, only on a larger stage. However, college did not follow the script (人生规划) I had written for myself. From the first semester on, I realized I was no longer special. In lecture halls filled with hundreds of students, my raised hand often went unnoticed. Classmates spoke with ease and depth I could not match. The first exam results arrived quietly, yet their message was loud enough: I was average. Some scores were even below average. I stared at the numbers, feeling as if they were questioning my entire past. At first, I tried harder, studying longer hours, skipping meals, and even sleeping less. Yet, the harder I pushed, the more exhausted I became. My grades improved only slightly, never enough to bring back the old certainty. Slowly, disappointment turned into shame. I stopped calling home, afraid that any question about school would expose my failure. I avoided group discussions and sat in the back row, hoping no one would notice how far I had fallen. The real breaking point came during a group project presentation in my second year. Assigned as the team leader, I was supposed to organize the discussion and deliver the final summary. Yet when the moment arrived, my mind went blank. My voice shook, my slides were confusing, and my classmates had to step in to finish what I could not. Afterward, no one blamed me, but their polite silence felt worse than criticism. 注意：1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I turned to my academic advisor Ms. White for help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I chose to follow her advice and started to change myself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I turned to my academic advisor Ms. White for help. Sitting across from her, I finally said out loud what I had been hiding for months — I no longer knew who I was without being the best. She listened patiently, and then asked a simple question, “What if your worth isn’t decided by comparison?” She looked into my eyes, convincing me that being average was not a failure but a starting point. She encouraged me to set realistic goals, ask questions without fear, and focus on learning rather than proving myself. For the first time, I felt seen not as a fallen top student, but as a learner in progress. I chose to follow her advice and started to change myself. I stopped chasing perfect scores and began paying attention to small improvements. I spoke up even when unsure and joined study groups instead of hiding. Gradually, the pressure eased. My grades did not suddenly rise, but my confidence did. I learned to value effort over outcome and growth over labels. By the time I graduated, I was no longer defined by excellence or failure, but by resilience. Accepting my imperfection did not make me weaker. Instead, it finally allowed me to move forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在高中时成绩优异，进入大学后却发现自己变得平庸，努力无果后陷入自我怀疑和逃避，最终在学术顾问怀特女士的帮助下开始改变的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我向我的学业顾问怀特女士求助。”可知，第一段可描写作者倾诉烦恼，导师给予开导与建议。 ②由第二段首句内容“我选择听从她的建议并开始改变自己。”可知，第二段可描写作者做出改变，放下焦虑，收获成长与自信。 2.续写线索：倾诉困惑——提出观点——给予鼓励——听从建议——改变行为——重建自信——定义自我——领悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①倾诉：say out loud/pour out/speak one’s mind ②设定目标：set goals/establish targets/make plans ③发言：speak up/voice opinions/express ideas 情绪类 ①耐心：patiently/with patience/unhurriedly ②坚韧：resilience /perseverance/determination 【点睛】【高分句型1】She looked into my eyes, convincing me that being average was not a failure but a starting point.（使用了that引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Sitting across from her, I finally said out loud what I had been hiding for months — I no longer knew who I was without being the best.（使用了what引导宾语从句和who引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
