Have a look at our pick of the best telescopes suitable for astronomy beginners. Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi Tabletop telescopes are a great option because of their light weight and easy set-up. The Sky-Watcher Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi is a small telescope with a Wi-Fi-controllable mount, meaning you can observe chosen targets at the touch of a button. Its long focal length makes it ideal for observing the Moon as well as some brighter deep-sky objects. Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ Computerized Go-To telescopes automatically locate night-sky objects that a beginner might otherwise struggle to find, but they do still need to be aligned (校准). For beginners, this can be tricky, often involving the use of a smartphone app to navigate the night sky, so why not use the same app to align the telescope? Celestron’s StarSense Explorer app is at the core of how this combination works. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector It is short, which makes it a nice, easy scope for beginners to handle. Plus, it weighs just 8kg and is easy to assemble (组装). This means it’s a great choice for both newcomers and more experienced astronomers, and it’s not as likely to get left in storage and remain unused. The 130P Newtonian may not be an imaging telescope, but we did manage to attach a smartphone adaptor to the 25mm eyepiece and were able to use our iPhone to capture an image of the Moon. Unistellar eVscope eQuinox If your budget is over £2,500 and you’re looking for a completely different experience from an “ordinary” telescope, you might consider the Unistellar eVscope eQuinox. This is a 4.5-inch, f/4 reflector with a built-in camera sensor that tracks and stacks (堆叠) images in real time to produce rich images of deep-sky objects. 1. What is a distinct feature of Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ? A. It has a built-in camera sensor. B. It can track images in real time. C. It has a Wi-Fi-controllable mount. D. It can automatically locate targets. 2. What makes the StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector suitable for beginners? A. Its large storage space. B. Its imaging capabilities. C. Its effortless set-up and operation. D. Its adaptability with smartphones. 3. Which of the following probably costs the most? A. Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi. B. Unistellar eVscope eQuinox. C. Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ. D. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章围绕四款天文望远镜的功能与价格比较展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 1．细节理解题。根据Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ部分中的“Computerized Go-To telescopes automatically locate night-sky objects that a beginner might otherwise struggle to find, but they do still need to be aligned (校准). (电脑化寻星望远镜可以自动定位夜空天体，这是初学者可能难以找到的，但它们仍需要校准。)”可知，该望远镜的显著特点是能够自动定位观测目标。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector部分中的“It is short, which makes it a nice, easy scope for beginners to handle. Plus, it weighs just 8kg and is easy to assemble (组装).

(如果你的预算超过2500英镑，想要体验与普通望远镜完全不同的感受，可以考虑Unistellar eVscope eQuinox。)”可知，这款望远镜价格最高。故选B项。 B Jane Goodall (1934-2025), the famous scientist who devoted all her life to studying and protecting primates (灵长类动物), died at the age of 91. Jane’s love of animals began at birth. As a child growing up in the coastal town of Bournemouth, London, she dreamed of traveling to Africa and living among the wildlife. When she was 10, she read the book Tarzan (人猿泰山), and the inspiration changed her life. Jane later earned a PhD in ethology, the study of animal behavior, from the University of Cambridge. At the age of 26, Jane set out on her journey to study the chimpanzees (黑猩猩), attracted by the calls of the African jungle. With curiosity and determination, Jane ventured into the heart of Tanzania’s Gombe National Park in 1960, where she made history by observing chimpanzee behavior. In 1977, Jane founded the Jane Goodall Institute with Genevieve di San Faustino in Washington, D．C． With offices in 25 cities around the world, the organization aims to improve the treatment and understanding of animals like monkeys and apes through public education and conservation efforts. “We depend on the natural world for everything,” she said. “It’s like a beautiful web, with all the strings interconnected. As each species disappears from this ecosystem, the web weakens and may eventually collapse. So we must leave our young people a complete and unspoiled natural world.” With every sincere interaction with creatures, she appealed to us to value and protect the wonders of our planet. Indeed, in the firm dedication and profound insight of Dr. Jane Goodall, we witness a lifelong commitment to nature, love for all living beings, and a vision for harmony and coexistence in our world. 4. What led Jane Goodall to pursue the study of chimpanzees? A. Her PhD study in ethology. B. Her childhood life in Bournemouth. C. The call from the Jane Goodall Institute. D. Her love for animals and inspiration from Tarzan. 5. What can we learn about the Jane Goodall Institute? A. It was founded by Jane alone. B. Its members all come from America. C. It educates people more about primates. D. It focuses on studying the chimpanzees. 6. What can be inferred from Jane Goodall’s words in paragraph 5? A. The natural world is very beautiful to appreciate. B. People should reduce their dependence on the world. C. Young people are responsible for the extinct species. D. Every species plays an important role in the ecosystem. 7. Which words can best describe Dr. Jane Goodall according to the text? A. Talented and curious. B. Responsible and inspiring. C. Determined and polite. D. Warm-hearted and careful. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．D 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕Jane Goodall的黑猩猩研究与自然保护展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Jane’s love of animals began at birth. As a child growing up in the coastal town of Bournemouth, London, she dreamed of traveling to Africa and living among the wildlife. When she was 10, she read the book Tarzan (人猿泰山), and the inspiration changed her life.(珍对动物的热爱与生俱来。作为一个在伦敦伯恩茅斯沿海小镇长大的孩子，她梦想着去非洲与野生动物一起生活。10岁时，她读了《人猿泰山》一书，这本书的灵感改变了她的生活。)”可知，对动物的热爱以及《人猿泰山》带来的启发，促使她投身黑猩猩研究。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段中“With offices in 25 cities around the world, the organization aims to improve the treatment and understanding of animals like monkeys and apes through public education and conservation efforts.(该组织在全球25个城市设有办事处，旨在通过公众教育和保护工作，提升人们对猴子、猿类等灵长类动物的善待方式与认知水平。)”可知，该机构的核心工作是向大众普及灵长类动物相关知识。 6．推理判断题。根据第五段中“It’s like a beautiful web, with all the strings interconnected. As each species disappears from this ecosystem, the web weakens and may eventually collapse.(自然界如同一张美丽的网，所有脉络相互关联。每一个物种从生态系统中的消失，都会让生态网变弱，最终可能导致崩塌。)”可推知，生态系统环环相扣，每个物种都在生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色。 7．推理判断题。根据全文内容，珍·古道尔终生投身灵长类研究和自然保护，创立保护机构，呼吁人们保护自然，结合最后一段中“Indeed, in the firm dedication and profound insight of Dr. Jane Goodall, we witness a lifelong commitment to nature, love for all living beings, and a vision for harmony and coexistence in our world.(事实上，在珍·古道尔博士的坚定奉献和深刻见解中，我们见证了对自然的终身承诺、对所有生物的热爱，以及对世界和谐共处的愿景。)”可推知，珍·古道尔是负责任且鼓舞人心的。 C Farming has traditionally been viewed as a physically demanding job which often passed down from one generation to the next. However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned. Today, when you ask who the next generation of farmers will be, the answer is no longer automatically “the current farmer’s son or daughter”. This shift is most visible in agricultural education. Britain’s agricultural colleges and universities, once limited to sons of the landowners, military officers and government officials, now welcome students from all walks of life. Today, young men and women are learning how to raise farm animals, grow crops and manage the land, but also taking modern courses as diverse as food security, environmental science, wildlife protection, water management, business, etc. The range of agricultural learning has never been broader. Beyond education, the definition (定义) of “farm” job has expanded dramatically — driven by global demand that the world population is predicted to grow by another two billion before 2050. Agricultural technology and innovation now covers everything from drone mechanics, robotic harvesters and intelligent software. Even tech-focused students who may never get dirt under their fingernails play a crucial role in boosting food production. Technology itself is speeding up this change: AI, for example, is already changing the farming industry. It is gathering data about soil conditions, crop health and weather systems at lightning speed to help reduce the use of chemicals, save water and predict the harvest, among many other things. In short, modern farming is no longer bound (束缚) by tradition. Whether one’s interest is in animal care, environmental science, tech or business, there’s a job in modern farming to satisfy it. As one expert noted, “The business of growing is growing.” 8. What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Fixed idea. B. Job requirement. C. Relaxing job. D. Family ambition. 9. Which can best describe present agricultural education? A. Various and broad. B. Specific and limited. C. Traditional and practical. D. Popular and affordable. 10. How does AI promote farming? A. By predicting the weather. B. By collecting and applying data. C. By replacing farmers entirely. D. By growing crops automatically. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Tool for Higher Crop Production B. Traditional Farming: Root of Agriculture C. Agricultural Education: Open to All Students D. Modern Farming: Beyond the Old Stereotype 【答案】8．A 9．A 10．B 11．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕现代农业突破传统刻板印象展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 8．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Farming has traditionally been viewed as a physically demanding job which often passed down from one generation to the next. However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned.(传统上，农业被视为一种体力劳动强度大的工作，通常由一代传给下一代。然而，这种长期持有的stereotype现在正被推翻。)”可知，这种“代代相传的体力劳动”的看法是一种根深蒂固的固定观念，再结合“However”表转折，说明这种观念正在被改变，因此“stereotype”意为“固定观念”，与“Fixed idea”意思相近。 9．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Today, young men and women are learning how to raise farm animals, grow crops and manage the land, but also taking modern courses as diverse as food security, environmental science, wildlife protection, water management, business, etc. The range of agricultural learning has never been broader.(今天，年轻男女不仅在学习如何饲养牲畜、种植庄稼和管理土地，还在学习从粮食安全、环境科学、野生动物保护、水资源管理到商业等多样化的现代课程。农业学习的范围从未像现在这样广泛。)”可知，当前的农业教育种类繁多且范围广阔。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It is gathering data about soil conditions, crop health and weather systems at lightning speed to help reduce the use of chemicals, save water and predict the harvest, among many other things.(它以闪电般的速度收集有关土壤状况、作物健康和天气系统的数据，以帮助减少化学品使用、节约用水和预测收成，以及其他许多事情。)”可知，人工智能通过收集和应用数据来促进农业发展。 11．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇“However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned. Today, when you ask who the next generation of farmers will be, the answer is no longer automatically “the current farmer’s son or daughter”.(然而，这种长期存在的刻板印象如今正在被打破。如今，当你问下一代农民会是谁时，答案已不再自动是“现任农民的儿子或女儿”。)”即点明主题，传统的农业观念正在被颠覆，随后介绍了教育和科技如何推动农业向现代化、多元化转变。D选项“Modern Farming: Beyond the Old Stereotype(现代农业：超越旧有的刻板印象)”最能概括全文主旨。 D With the “world’s first farm to grow indoor, vertically farmed berries at scale” opening in the U.S., major steps towards sustainable and affordable food production free of environmental challenges have been taken. It’s backed by an international team of scientists who see this new phase of agriculture as a way to ease global food demand. The Plenty Richmond Farm is designed to produce more than four million pounds of strawberries grown indoors vertically in 9-meter-tall towers, taking up less than 40,000 square feet. To date, plant-based commercial vertical farming has mostly been limited to the production of lettuce crops, but this latest technological advancement has broadened the scope of what can be grown upwards. With temperature, light and humidity controlled across 12 growing rooms, pollination of plants has also been engineered to be more efficient than bees. Ultimately, the company believes this will result in more uniformity in fruit and less waste. “This farm is a model for the positive impact climate-agnostic (不受气候影响的) agriculture can have, and a proof that vertical farming can deliver the crop diversity, scaled and local production needed to future-proof the global food system.” said Arama Kukutai, Plenty CEO. “I managed to get strawberries to produce 6 kg per plant when everybody was saying that the maximum you could produce in a greenhouse was 2 kg,” said Paul Gauthier, Professor of Protected Cropping at the University of Queensland. “I multiplied the strawberry output by three by modifying (调整) the environment and pushing it to the limit. I would like to see protected cropping or controlled environment agriculture treated as a separate discipline of plant science. If we are to increase food production by as much as 70% by 2050, we need to look at things differently.” “That is what vertical farming allows us to do — we didn’t have this possibility before.” he added. 12. What is the significance of opening the Plenty Richmond Farm? A. Making America self-sufficient in food production. B. Making food production unaffected by environmental problems. C. Sparking a global trend of changing all farms into indoor vertical ones. D. Solving the global food demand crisis completely with its scaled production. 13. What has the latest technological advancement in vertical farming achieved? A. Total independence from natural pollinators such as bees. B. The expansion of crop types and a more efficient pollination system. C. The ability to cultivate nearly all categories of vegetables commercially. D. Higher uniformity in fruit quality and a significant cut in production waste. 14. What can be inferred from Paul Gauthier’s achievement in strawberry production? A. His methods may fail in large-scale use. B. Vertical farming suits few crops beyond strawberries. C. Modifying environment guarantees higher food yields. D. Controlled-environment farming may get more attention. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The emergence and initial development of vertical farming in the U.S.. B. Key advantages of vertical farming reflected in strawberry cultivation. C. A groundbreaking advance in vertical farming and its far-reaching significance. D. Scientific efforts to boost strawberry yields through controlled environment agriculture. 【答案】12．B 13．B 14．D 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章围绕草莓垂直农业技术及其意义展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 12．细节理解题。根据第一段“With the “world’s first farm to grow indoor, vertically farmed berries at scale” opening in the U.S., major steps towards sustainable and affordable food production free of environmental challenges have been taken. (随着美国“世界上第一个大规模室内垂直种植浆果的农场”的开业，在实现可持续且负担得起、不受环境挑战影响的食品生产方面迈出了重大步伐)”可知，Plenty Richmond农场开业的意义是使食品生产不受环境问题的影响。故选B项。 13．细节理解题。根据第三段“To date, plant-based commercial vertical farming has mostly been limited to the production of lettuce crops, but this latest technological advancement has broadened the scope of what can be grown upwards. With temperature, light and humidity controlled across 12 growing rooms, pollination of plants has also been engineered to be more efficient than bees. (到目前为止，以植物为基础的商业垂直农业大多仅限于生菜作物的生产，但这一最新的技术进步扩大了垂直种植作物的范围。在12个种植室中控制温度、光照和湿度，植物的授粉也被设计得比蜜蜂更高效)”可知，垂直农业的最新技术进步实现了作物类型的扩大和更高效的授粉系统。故选B项。 14．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I would like to see protected cropping or controlled environment agriculture treated as a separate discipline of plant science. If we are to increase food production by as much as 70% by 2050, we need to look at things differently. (我希望看到保护性种植或可控环境农业被视为植物科学的一个独立学科。如果我们要在2050年将粮食产量提高70%，我们需要以不同的方式看待问题)”可推断，受控环境农业可能会得到更多关注。故选D项。 15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“With the “world’s first farm to grow indoor, vertically farmed berries at scale” opening in the U.S., major steps towards sustainable and affordable food production free of environmental challenges have been taken. (随着美国“世界上第一个大规模室内垂直种植浆果的农场”的开业，在实现可持续且负担得起、不受环境挑战影响的食品生产方面迈出了重大步伐)”以及后文对垂直农业技术进步和意义的阐述可知，本文主要介绍了垂直农业的一项突破性进展及其深远意义。故选C项。 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。 ____16____When thinking about future events, optimists’ brains work similarly, while pessimists’ show greater individuality. A Kobe University finding explains why optimists are more sociable — they may share a common vision of the future. Optimists tend to have more satisfying social relationships and wider networks.____17____Psychologist YANAGISAWA Kuniaki wonders: “Why is this? Recent studies show people in central social positions have similar brain responses to stimuli. So those with similar attitudes toward the future may imagine it similarly, making understanding each other easier.” ____18____To test this idea, Yanagisawa put together a team from social psychology and brain science. They aimed to find out how thinking about the future appears in the brain. “The question was untouched as it lies between two fields, but their combination opened this black box,” Yanagisawa said.____19____They recruited 87 people ranging from pessimists to optimists, asking them to imagine future events. Their brain activity was recorded via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The experiment provided clear brain evidence for the initial idea.____20____This similarity not only explains optimists’ better social connections but also offers new insights into how brain function shapes social behavior. A. Have you ever wondered why optimists often have better social lives? B. This similarity in brain function may explain their stronger social connections. C. A key question came up: Could this brain similarity be the reason? D. The lack of earlier research comes from the topic’s cross-field nature. E. Brain activity patterns tracked by fMRI showed consistent brain responses in optimists. F. Pessimists, by contrast, struggle to form such shared thinking patterns. G. Social psychology and brain science rarely work together on such cross-field topics. 【答案】16．A 17．C 18．B 19．D 20．E 【导语】本文是一篇方法指导类说明文。文章围绕乐观心态、大脑活动与社会关系展开，设空主要考查段落结构、逻辑衔接和指代关系。 【解析】 16．根据后文“When thinking about future events, optimists’ brains work similarly, while pessimists’ show greater individuality. A Kobe University finding explains why optimists are more sociable — they may share a common vision of the future. (思考未来事件时，乐观者的大脑运作方式相似，而悲观者则表现出更强的个体差异。神户大学的一项研究解释了为什么乐观者更善于社交——他们可能对未来有着共同的愿景。)”可知，后文开始解释乐观者社交能力更好的原因，此空应提出相关疑问，A选项“Have you ever wondered why optimists often have better social lives? (你有没有想过为什么乐观者通常拥有更好的社交生活？)”引出下文对原因的解释，符合语境。故选A项。 17．根据前文“Optimists tend to have more satisfying social relationships and wider networks. (乐观者往往拥有更令人满意的社交关系和更广泛的人脉。)”以及后文“Psychologist YANAGISAWA Kuniaki wonders: “Why is this? Recent studies show people in central social positions have similar brain responses to stimuli. So those with similar attitudes toward the future may imagine it similarly, making understanding each other easier.” (心理学家柳泽国昭提出疑问：“为什么会这样？最近的研究表明，处于社交中心位置的人对刺激的大脑反应相似。因此，那些对未来态度相似的人可能会以相似的方式想象未来，从而更容易相互理解。”)”可知，前文提出乐观者社交更好的现象，后文心理学家对此提出疑问并给出相关研究依据，此空应承接上文，提出关于大脑相似性是否为原因的关键问题，C选项“A key question came up: Could this brain similarity be the reason?

Not because she couldn’t speak, but because she chose not to. Since childhood, Meher had a terrible stutter (口吃). Whenever she tried to speak in class, her words always got stuck. Only in art class did Meher feel happy and relaxed, because she loved sketching (速写). For her, drawing was safer than speaking. Thus, her pencil became her voice, filling sketchbooks with worlds where no one made fun of her stutter. Unluckily, no one noticed her drawings. Then came the school’s talent show. Posters everywhere read: “Find Your Voice” Funny but sad, Meher thought. Her art teacher, Miss Sofia, walked to her. “These are beautiful. Why don’t you show your works at the talent show?” Miss Sofia suggested. Meher shook her head nervously. “Me? On stage?” Meher thought. “With my stutter? impossible.” But Miss Sofia smiled. “What if you didn’t have to speak... just show your story?” Miss Sofia’s words kept Meher thinking long after class. That night, an idea flashed through Meher’s mind. What if she told her story through animation (动画片)? Using her computer and a borrowed projector from Miss Sofia, Meher turned her sketches into a short animation — “The Girl Behind the Curtain.” As the images came to life, Meher felt something she hadn’t felt in years — hope. The girl in the film stuttered, too. When people laughed, a shadowy curtain grew around her like walls. But whenever someone was kind or when she felt brave, she made openings in the curtain. Little by little, light broke through. The day of the show arrived before Meher knew it. The night of the show, Meher stood behind the curtain. She didn’t go on stage. But her animation played on the big screen. At first, there was silence. Then quiet voices. Then tears. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 When the animation ended and Meher’s name appeared on the screen, a great cheer went up from the crowd. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, “Mute Meher” disappeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Meher因严重口吃而害怕开口，长期被同学称为“Mute Meher”，但她擅长绘画。在艺术老师Miss Sofia的鼓励下，她把自己的经历制作成动画《The Girl Behind the Curtain》，借助画面表达内心。续写第一段应承接观众的欢呼，描写Meher从幕后走到台前、感受到接纳并勇敢说出感谢；第二段应承接“Mute Meher”这一称呼的消失，交代她逐渐建立自信、继续用艺术表达自己，并把获得的理解和鼓励传递给有相似困难的人。两段需围绕“找到自己的声音”展开，照应curtain、light、voice等线索，突出勇气、接纳与成长。 【详解】 One possible version: When the animation ended and Meher’s name appeared on the screen, a great cheer went up from the crowd. Meher, still hidden behind the curtain, felt her heart race like a drum. Then, to her surprise, Miss Sofia gently guided her onto the stage. Standing under the bright lights, Meher saw tearful smiles, encouraging nods, and hands clapping wildly. A boy from her class suddenly shouted, “Meher, you’re amazing!” For the first time, she didn’t fear her stutter. Taking a deep breath, she said, “Th-thank you.” The crowd cheered even louder, not laughing at her stutter but celebrating her courage. From that day on, “Mute Meher” disappeared. In her place was a girl who slowly found her voice — both through her art and her words. Classmates began gathering around to ask about her sketches, and teachers encouraged her to share more animations. The curtain that once trapped her had lifted. One afternoon, a younger student with a stutter approached her shyly. “C-can you teach me to draw?” Meher smiled warmly and handed her a pencil, knowing exactly how it felt to be heard without speaking. Together, they began sketching a new story — one where bravery shone brighter than fear. 【词汇积累】 make fun of 嘲笑；取笑 turn ... into ... 把……变成…… come to life 变得生动；活跃起来 break through 冲破；突破 a great cheer went up 爆发出热烈的欢呼声 guide sb onto the stage 引导某人走上舞台 feel one's heart race 感到心跳加速 take a deep breath 深吸一口气 gather around 聚拢过来 be heard without speaking 不开口也能被理解 【高分句型】 Meher, still hidden behind the curtain, felt her heart race like a drum. （still hidden behind the curtain作补充说明；like a drum运用明喻，生动表现她的紧张。） Standing under the bright lights, Meher saw tearful smiles, encouraging nods, and hands clapping wildly.（现在分词短语作状语，并用三个并列名词短语呈现观众的支持。） The crowd cheered even louder, not laughing at her stutter but celebrating her courage. （not...but...形成鲜明对比，突出大家关注的是她的勇气而非口吃。） In her place was a girl who slowly found her voice—both through her art and her words. （地点状语置于句首构成完全倒装；who引导定语从句，照应全文的voice主题。） Meher smiled warmly and handed her a pencil, knowing exactly how it felt to be heard without speaking.（现在分词短语作伴随状语，how引导宾语从句，表现Meher的理解与共情。） 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二英语选择性必修一单元自测卷 Unit 5 Working the Land （时间：120分钟，满分：130分） 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．D 7．B 8．A 9．A 10．B 11．D 12．B 13．B 14．D 15．C 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 16．A 17．C 18．B 19．D 20．E 第二部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 21．B 22．C 23．A 24．D 25．A 26．B 27．D 28．C 29．D 30．B 31．D 32．B 33．C 34．A 35．A 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 36．beginning 37．traditional 38．was added 39．with 40．celebrations 41．a 42．that/which 43．to light 44．happily 45．ends 第三节 词语运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 46．shortage 47．tackle 48．crisis 49．convinced 50．characteristics 51．attained 52．assumption 53．estimated 54．domestic 55．consumption 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） Dear Sir or Madam, I'm Li Hua, an enthusiastic student eager to contribute as a volunteer for the “Belt and Road Initiative” tea-culture exchange event hosted by UNESCO in my hometown.

Have a look at our pick of the best telescopes suitable for astronomy beginners. Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi Tabletop telescopes are a great option because of their light weight and easy set-up. The Sky-Watcher Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi is a small telescope with a Wi-Fi-controllable mount, meaning you can observe chosen targets at the touch of a button. Its long focal length makes it ideal for observing the Moon as well as some brighter deep-sky objects. Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ Computerized Go-To telescopes automatically locate night-sky objects that a beginner might otherwise struggle to find, but they do still need to be aligned (校准). For beginners, this can be tricky, often involving the use of a smartphone app to navigate the night sky, so why not use the same app to align the telescope? Celestron’s StarSense Explorer app is at the core of how this combination works. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector It is short, which makes it a nice, easy scope for beginners to handle. Plus, it weighs just 8kg and is easy to assemble (组装). This means it’s a great choice for both newcomers and more experienced astronomers, and it’s not as likely to get left in storage and remain unused. The 130P Newtonian may not be an imaging telescope, but we did manage to attach a smartphone adaptor to the 25mm eyepiece and were able to use our iPhone to capture an image of the Moon. Unistellar eVscope eQuinox If your budget is over £2,500 and you’re looking for a completely different experience from an “ordinary” telescope, you might consider the Unistellar eVscope eQuinox. This is a 4.5-inch, f/4 reflector with a built-in camera sensor that tracks and stacks (堆叠) images in real time to produce rich images of deep-sky objects. 1. What is a distinct feature of Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ? A. It has a built-in camera sensor. B. It can track images in real time. C. It has a Wi-Fi-controllable mount. D. It can automatically locate targets. 2. What makes the StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector suitable for beginners? A. Its large storage space. B. Its imaging capabilities. C. Its effortless set-up and operation. D. Its adaptability with smartphones. 3. Which of the following probably costs the most? A. Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi. B. Unistellar eVscope eQuinox. C. Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ. D. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector. B Jane Goodall (1934-2025), the famous scientist who devoted all her life to studying and protecting primates (灵长类动物), died at the age of 91. Jane’s love of animals began at birth. As a child growing up in the coastal town of Bournemouth, London, she dreamed of traveling to Africa and living among the wildlife. When she was 10, she read the book Tarzan (人猿泰山), and the inspiration changed her life. Jane later earned a PhD in ethology, the study of animal behavior, from the University of Cambridge. At the age of 26, Jane set out on her journey to study the chimpanzees (黑猩猩), attracted by the calls of the African jungle. With curiosity and determination, Jane ventured into the heart of Tanzania’s Gombe National Park in 1960, where she made history by observing chimpanzee behavior. In 1977, Jane founded the Jane Goodall Institute with Genevieve di San Faustino in Washington, D．C． With offices in 25 cities around the world, the organization aims to improve the treatment and understanding of animals like monkeys and apes through public education and conservation efforts. “We depend on the natural world for everything,” she said. “It’s like a beautiful web, with all the strings interconnected. As each species disappears from this ecosystem, the web weakens and may eventually collapse. So we must leave our young people a complete and unspoiled natural world.” With every sincere interaction with creatures, she appealed to us to value and protect the wonders of our planet. Indeed, in the firm dedication and profound insight of Dr. Jane Goodall, we witness a lifelong commitment to nature, love for all living beings, and a vision for harmony and coexistence in our world. 4. What led Jane Goodall to pursue the study of chimpanzees? A. Her PhD study in ethology. B. Her childhood life in Bournemouth. C. The call from the Jane Goodall Institute. D. Her love for animals and inspiration from Tarzan. 5. What can we learn about the Jane Goodall Institute? A. It was founded by Jane alone. B. Its members all come from America. C. It educates people more about primates. D. It focuses on studying the chimpanzees. 6. What can be inferred from Jane Goodall’s words in paragraph 5? A. The natural world is very beautiful to appreciate. B. People should reduce their dependence on the world. C. Young people are responsible for the extinct species. D. Every species plays an important role in the ecosystem. 7. Which words can best describe Dr. Jane Goodall according to the text? A. Talented and curious. B. Responsible and inspiring. C. Determined and polite. D. Warm-hearted and careful. C Farming has traditionally been viewed as a physically demanding job which often passed down from one generation to the next. However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned. Today, when you ask who the next generation of farmers will be, the answer is no longer automatically “the current farmer’s son or daughter”. This shift is most visible in agricultural education. Britain’s agricultural colleges and universities, once limited to sons of the landowners, military officers and government officials, now welcome students from all walks of life. Today, young men and women are learning how to raise farm animals, grow crops and manage the land, but also taking modern courses as diverse as food security, environmental science, wildlife protection, water management, business, etc. The range of agricultural learning has never been broader. Beyond education, the definition (定义) of “farm” job has expanded dramatically — driven by global demand that the world population is predicted to grow by another two billion before 2050. Agricultural technology and innovation now covers everything from drone mechanics, robotic harvesters and intelligent software. Even tech-focused students who may never get dirt under their fingernails play a crucial role in boosting food production. Technology itself is speeding up this change: AI, for example, is already changing the farming industry. It is gathering data about soil conditions, crop health and weather systems at lightning speed to help reduce the use of chemicals, save water and predict the harvest, among many other things. In short, modern farming is no longer bound (束缚) by tradition. Whether one’s interest is in animal care, environmental science, tech or business, there’s a job in modern farming to satisfy it. As one expert noted, “The business of growing is growing.” 8. What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Fixed idea. B. Job requirement. C. Relaxing job. D. Family ambition. 9. Which can best describe present agricultural education? A. Various and broad. B. Specific and limited. C. Traditional and practical. D. Popular and affordable. 10. How does AI promote farming? A. By predicting the weather. B. By collecting and applying data. C. By replacing farmers entirely. D. By growing crops automatically. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Tool for Higher Crop Production B. Traditional Farming: Root of Agriculture C. Agricultural Education: Open to All Students D. Modern Farming: Beyond the Old Stereotype D With the “world’s first farm to grow indoor, vertically farmed berries at scale” opening in the U.S., major steps towards sustainable and affordable food production free of environmental challenges have been taken. It’s backed by an international team of scientists who see this new phase of agriculture as a way to ease global food demand. The Plenty Richmond Farm is designed to produce more than four million pounds of strawberries grown indoors vertically in 9-meter-tall towers, taking up less than 40,000 square feet. To date, plant-based commercial vertical farming has mostly been limited to the production of lettuce crops, but this latest technological advancement has broadened the scope of what can be grown upwards. With temperature, light and humidity controlled across 12 growing rooms, pollination of plants has also been engineered to be more efficient than bees. Ultimately, the company believes this will result in more uniformity in fruit and less waste. “This farm is a model for the positive impact climate-agnostic (不受气候影响的) agriculture can have, and a proof that vertical farming can deliver the crop diversity, scaled and local production needed to future-proof the global food system.” said Arama Kukutai, Plenty CEO. “I managed to get strawberries to produce 6 kg per plant when everybody was saying that the maximum you could produce in a greenhouse was 2 kg,” said Paul Gauthier, Professor of Protected Cropping at the University of Queensland. “I multiplied the strawberry output by three by modifying (调整) the environment and pushing it to the limit. I would like to see protected cropping or controlled environment agriculture treated as a separate discipline of plant science. If we are to increase food production by as much as 70% by 2050, we need to look at things differently.” “That is what vertical farming allows us to do — we didn’t have this possibility before.” he added. 12. What is the significance of opening the Plenty Richmond Farm? A. Making America self-sufficient in food production. B. Making food production unaffected by environmental problems. C. Sparking a global trend of changing all farms into indoor vertical ones. D. Solving the global food demand crisis completely with its scaled production. 13. What has the latest technological advancement in vertical farming achieved? A. Total independence from natural pollinators such as bees. B. The expansion of crop types and a more efficient pollination system. C. The ability to cultivate nearly all categories of vegetables commercially. D. Higher uniformity in fruit quality and a significant cut in production waste. 14. What can be inferred from Paul Gauthier’s achievement in strawberry production? A. His methods may fail in large-scale use. B. Vertical farming suits few crops beyond strawberries. C. Modifying environment guarantees higher food yields. D. Controlled-environment farming may get more attention. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The emergence and initial development of vertical farming in the U.S.. B. Key advantages of vertical farming reflected in strawberry cultivation. C. A groundbreaking advance in vertical farming and its far-reaching significance. D. Scientific efforts to boost strawberry yields through controlled environment agriculture. 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。 ____16____When thinking about future events, optimists’ brains work similarly, while pessimists’ show greater individuality. A Kobe University finding explains why optimists are more sociable — they may share a common vision of the future. Optimists tend to have more satisfying social relationships and wider networks.____17____Psychologist YANAGISAWA Kuniaki wonders: “Why is this? Recent studies show people in central social positions have similar brain responses to stimuli. So those with similar attitudes toward the future may imagine it similarly, making understanding each other easier.” ____18____To test this idea, Yanagisawa put together a team from social psychology and brain science. They aimed to find out how thinking about the future appears in the brain. “The question was untouched as it lies between two fields, but their combination opened this black box,” Yanagisawa said.____19____They recruited 87 people ranging from pessimists to optimists, asking them to imagine future events. Their brain activity was recorded via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The experiment provided clear brain evidence for the initial idea.____20____This similarity not only explains optimists’ better social connections but also offers new insights into how brain function shapes social behavior. A. Have you ever wondered why optimists often have better social lives? B. This similarity in brain function may explain their stronger social connections. C. A key question came up: Could this brain similarity be the reason? D. The lack of earlier research comes from the topic’s cross-field nature. E. Brain activity patterns tracked by fMRI showed consistent brain responses in optimists. F. Pessimists, by contrast, struggle to form such shared thinking patterns. G.

Not because she couldn’t speak, but because she chose not to. Since childhood, Meher had a terrible stutter (口吃). Whenever she tried to speak in class, her words always got stuck. Only in art class did Meher feel happy and relaxed, because she loved sketching (速写). For her, drawing was safer than speaking. Thus, her pencil became her voice, filling sketchbooks with worlds where no one made fun of her stutter. Unluckily, no one noticed her drawings. Then came the school’s talent show. Posters everywhere read: “Find Your Voice” Funny but sad, Meher thought. Her art teacher, Miss Sofia, walked to her. “These are beautiful. Why don’t you show your works at the talent show?” Miss Sofia suggested. Meher shook her head nervously. “Me? On stage?” Meher thought. “With my stutter? impossible.” But Miss Sofia smiled. “What if you didn’t have to speak... just show your story?” Miss Sofia’s words kept Meher thinking long after class. That night, an idea flashed through Meher’s mind. What if she told her story through animation (动画片)? Using her computer and a borrowed projector from Miss Sofia, Meher turned her sketches into a short animation — “The Girl Behind the Curtain.” As the images came to life, Meher felt something she hadn’t felt in years — hope. The girl in the film stuttered, too. When people laughed, a shadowy curtain grew around her like walls. But whenever someone was kind or when she felt brave, she made openings in the curtain. Little by little, light broke through. The day of the show arrived before Meher knew it. The night of the show, Meher stood behind the curtain. She didn’t go on stage. But her animation played on the big screen. At first, there was silence. Then quiet voices. Then tears. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 When the animation ended and Meher’s name appeared on the screen, a great cheer went up from the crowd. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, “Mute Meher” disappeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共10页） 试题 第4页（共10页） 试题 第1页（共10页） 试题 第2页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二英语选择性必修一单元自测卷 Unit 5 Working the Land 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：130分） 注意事项 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Are you interested in buying your first telescope but have no idea where to start? Have a look at our pick of the best telescopes suitable for astronomy beginners. Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi Tabletop telescopes are a great option because of their light weight and easy set-up. The Sky-Watcher Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi is a small telescope with a Wi-Fi-controllable mount, meaning you can observe chosen targets at the touch of a button. Its long focal length makes it ideal for observing the Moon as well as some brighter deep-sky objects. Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ Computerized Go-To telescopes automatically locate night-sky objects that a beginner might otherwise struggle to find, but they do still need to be aligned (校准). For beginners, this can be tricky, often involving the use of a smartphone app to navigate the night sky, so why not use the same app to align the telescope? Celestron’s StarSense Explorer app is at the core of how this combination works. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector It is short, which makes it a nice, easy scope for beginners to handle. Plus, it weighs just 8kg and is easy to assemble (组装). This means it’s a great choice for both newcomers and more experienced astronomers, and it’s not as likely to get left in storage and remain unused. The 130P Newtonian may not be an imaging telescope, but we did manage to attach a smartphone adaptor to the 25mm eyepiece and were able to use our iPhone to capture an image of the Moon. Unistellar eVscope eQuinox If your budget is over £2,500 and you’re looking for a completely different experience from an “ordinary” telescope, you might consider the Unistellar eVscope eQuinox. This is a 4.5-inch, f/4 reflector with a built-in camera sensor that tracks and stacks (堆叠) images in real time to produce rich images of deep-sky objects. 1. What is a distinct feature of Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ? A. It has a built-in camera sensor. B. It can track images in real time. C. It has a Wi-Fi-controllable mount. D. It can automatically locate targets. 2. What makes the StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector suitable for beginners? A. Its large storage space. B. Its imaging capabilities. C. Its effortless set-up and operation. D. Its adaptability with smartphones. 3. Which of the following probably costs the most? A. Skymax-127 Virtuoso GTi. B. Unistellar eVscope eQuinox. C. Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ. D. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector. B Jane Goodall (1934-2025), the famous scientist who devoted all her life to studying and protecting primates (灵长类动物), died at the age of 91. Jane’s love of animals began at birth. As a child growing up in the coastal town of Bournemouth, London, she dreamed of traveling to Africa and living among the wildlife. When she was 10, she read the book Tarzan (人猿泰山), and the inspiration changed her life. Jane later earned a PhD in ethology, the study of animal behavior, from the University of Cambridge. At the age of 26, Jane set out on her journey to study the chimpanzees (黑猩猩), attracted by the calls of the African jungle. With curiosity and determination, Jane ventured into the heart of Tanzania’s Gombe National Park in 1960, where she made history by observing chimpanzee behavior. In 1977, Jane founded the Jane Goodall Institute with Genevieve di San Faustino in Washington, D．C． With offices in 25 cities around the world, the organization aims to improve the treatment and understanding of animals like monkeys and apes through public education and conservation efforts. “We depend on the natural world for everything,” she said. “It’s like a beautiful web, with all the strings interconnected. As each species disappears from this ecosystem, the web weakens and may eventually collapse. So we must leave our young people a complete and unspoiled natural world.” With every sincere interaction with creatures, she appealed to us to value and protect the wonders of our planet. Indeed, in the firm dedication and profound insight of Dr. Jane Goodall, we witness a lifelong commitment to nature, love for all living beings, and a vision for harmony and coexistence in our world. 4. What led Jane Goodall to pursue the study of chimpanzees? A. Her PhD study in ethology. B. Her childhood life in Bournemouth. C. The call from the Jane Goodall Institute. D. Her love for animals and inspiration from Tarzan. 5. What can we learn about the Jane Goodall Institute? A. It was founded by Jane alone. B. Its members all come from America. C. It educates people more about primates. D. It focuses on studying the chimpanzees. 6. What can be inferred from Jane Goodall’s words in paragraph 5? A. The natural world is very beautiful to appreciate. B. People should reduce their dependence on the world. C. Young people are responsible for the extinct species. D. Every species plays an important role in the ecosystem. 7. Which words can best describe Dr. Jane Goodall according to the text? A. Talented and curious. B. Responsible and inspiring. C. Determined and polite. D. Warm-hearted and careful. C Farming has traditionally been viewed as a physically demanding job which often passed down from one generation to the next. However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned. Today, when you ask who the next generation of farmers will be, the answer is no longer automatically “the current farmer’s son or daughter”. This shift is most visible in agricultural education. Britain’s agricultural colleges and universities, once limited to sons of the landowners, military officers and government officials, now welcome students from all walks of life. Today, young men and women are learning how to raise farm animals, grow crops and manage the land, but also taking modern courses as diverse as food security, environmental science, wildlife protection, water management, business, etc. The range of agricultural learning has never been broader. Beyond education, the definition (定义) of “farm” job has expanded dramatically — driven by global demand that the world population is predicted to grow by another two billion before 2050. Agricultural technology and innovation now covers everything from drone mechanics, robotic harvesters and intelligent software. Even tech-focused students who may never get dirt under their fingernails play a crucial role in boosting food production. Technology itself is speeding up this change: AI, for example, is already changing the farming industry. It is gathering data about soil conditions, crop health and weather systems at lightning speed to help reduce the use of chemicals, save water and predict the harvest, among many other things. In short, modern farming is no longer bound (束缚) by tradition. Whether one’s interest is in animal care, environmental science, tech or business, there’s a job in modern farming to satisfy it. As one expert noted, “The business of growing is growing.” 8. What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Fixed idea. B. Job requirement. C. Relaxing job. D. Family ambition. 9. Which can best describe present agricultural education? A. Various and broad. B. Specific and limited. C. Traditional and practical. D. Popular and affordable. 10. How does AI promote farming? A. By predicting the weather. B. By collecting and applying data. C. By replacing farmers entirely. D. By growing crops automatically. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Tool for Higher Crop Production B. Traditional Farming: Root of Agriculture C. Agricultural Education: Open to All Students D. Modern Farming: Beyond the Old Stereotype D With the “world’s first farm to grow indoor, vertically farmed berries at scale” opening in the U.S., major steps towards sustainable and affordable food production free of environmental challenges have been taken. It’s backed by an international team of scientists who see this new phase of agriculture as a way to ease global food demand. The Plenty Richmond Farm is designed to produce more than four million pounds of strawberries grown indoors vertically in 9-meter-tall towers, taking up less than 40,000 square feet. To date, plant-based commercial vertical farming has mostly been limited to the production of lettuce crops, but this latest technological advancement has broadened the scope of what can be grown upwards.

Posters everywhere read: “Find Your Voice” Funny but sad, Meher thought. Her art teacher, Miss Sofia, walked to her. “These are beautiful. Why don’t you show your works at the talent show?” Miss Sofia suggested. Meher shook her head nervously. “Me? On stage?” Meher thought. “With my stutter? impossible.” But Miss Sofia smiled. “What if you didn’t have to speak... just show your story?” Miss Sofia’s words kept Meher thinking long after class. That night, an idea flashed through Meher’s mind. What if she told her story through animation (动画片)? Using her computer and a borrowed projector from Miss Sofia, Meher turned her sketches into a short animation — “The Girl Behind the Curtain.” As the images came to life, Meher felt something she hadn’t felt in years — hope. The girl in the film stuttered, too. When people laughed, a shadowy curtain grew around her like walls. But whenever someone was kind or when she felt brave, she made openings in the curtain. Little by little, light broke through. The day of the show arrived before Meher knew it. The night of the show, Meher stood behind the curtain. She didn’t go on stage. But her animation played on the big screen. At first, there was silence. Then quiet voices. Then tears. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 When the animation ended and Meher’s name appeared on the screen, a great cheer went up from the crowd. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, “Mute Meher” disappeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！/ 101/ 10 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
