The Northern Mozambique Channel This small region is home to 35% of the coral reefs found in the entire Indian Ocean. However, it was threatened by agricultural pollution, overfishing and climate change. Funded by the United Nations, Comoros, Mozambique and Tanzania are working together to manage, protect and restore almost 87,200 hectares of interconnected land and sea. And 4.85 million hectares are expected to be restored by 2030. Great Green Wall Launched by the African Union in 2007, this project seeks to transform the lives of millions in the Sahel region by creating a green wall that runs across 11 countries. The 2030 goals of the Great Green Wall are to restore 100 million hectares and create 10 million jobs across the continent, with a particular focus on Burkina Faso and Niger. Shan-Shui Initiative Launched in 2016, this ambitious initiative aims to restore 10 million hectares of natural spaces across China, including forests, grasslands and waterways by 2030. Examples include the Oujiang River Headwaters Project in Zhejiang Province, which integrates scientific knowledge with traditional farming methods, like combining crops with fish- and duck-raising, to make land use more sustainable. About 3.5 million hectares have been restored so far. Central American Dry Corridor Exposed to heatwaves and unpredictable rainfall, the ecosystems and peoples of the Central American Dry Corridor are seriously affected by climate change, which has left 1.2 million people hungry in the region. Turning to traditional farming methods to increase the soil’s productivity is at the heart of this project which covers six countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. 1. Who is providing funds for the project in the Indian Ocean? A. Comoros. B. Mozambique. C. The United Nations. D. The African Union. 2. What can we know about the Oujiang River Headwaters Project? A. It aims to improve traditional farming methods. B. It tries to restore forests, grasslands and waterways. C. It has restored 10 million hectares of land in Zhejiang. D. One of its goals is to make agriculture more sustainable. 3. Which project mainly focuses on making the soil more productive? A. Great Green Wall. B. Central American Dry Corridor. C. Shan-Shui Initiative. D. The Northern Mozambique Channel. B Born in 1961 in Oregon, Mary Brunkow developed an early love for math and science, particularly genetics (基因学). Although she entered university on a pre-medicine track, a genetics course and her first lab experience completely changed her direction, leading her toward a career in research. At Princeton University, Brunkow chose to study a gene that many scientists considered as “rubbish.” Later, working with Fred Ramsdell, she turned to an old scientific puzzle — the “scurfy (多鳞屑)” mouse. This mutation (突变), which had appeared by chance in the 1940s, caused severe autoimmune (自我免疫的) disease only in males. The responsible gene was known to lie on the X chromosome (染色体), but its exact identity remained a mystery. Brunkow and Ramsdell believed that finding this gene would reveal a lot about how autoimmune diseases take place. In the 1990s, locating a single mutated gene was nearly impossible. They mapped the related region of the X chromosome and narrowed the search to twenty potential genes. To raise enough mice, Brunkow even changed an unused janitor’s closet (清洁储藏室) into a mouse room. After much effort, they found a tiny genetic change in a gene they named Foxp3. They next supposed that Foxp3 might also cause IPEX, a rare human autoimmune disease linked to the X chromosome. In 2001, they confirmed that mutations in Foxp3 are responsible for both IPEX and the scurfy condition. This discovery made researchers know how the body learned not to attack itself. In 2025, Brunkow and Ramsdell shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Japanese immunologist Shimon Sakaguchi. Their work opened new possibilities for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases. Brunkow’s journey — from a “rubbish” gene to a Nobel Prize — shows how following scientific curiosity can lead to discoveries that truly change medicine. 4. What made Brunkow change her career direction? A. Her early interest in math and science, especially genetics. B. A genetics course and her first experience in the lab. C. Her choice to study a “rubbish” gene at Princeton University. D. Her desire to solve the puzzle of the “scurfy” mouse mutation. 5. What was the major reason for Brunkow and Ramsdell to win the Nobel Prize? A. They found the real identify and function of the “scurfy” mice. B. They invented a new treatment for all kinds of autoimmune diseases. C. They identified the Foxp3 gene and revealed its key role in immune regulation. D. They proved that scientific curiosity can lead to great discoveries. 6. Which of the following best describes Brunkow as a scientist? A. Impatient. B. Curious. C. Emotional. D. Proud. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A pair of hardworking researchers. B. A promising career in medicine. C. A forgotten laboratory experiment. D. An admirable scientist and her discovery. C Large glass buildings enjoy an attractive appearance and are widely adopted in modern building design. But they suffer from an unavoidable problem. Too much sunlight passes through the glass, causing indoor temperatures to rise greatly during hot summers. To keep a comfortable indoor temperature, air-conditioning (空调) devices have to work continuously, consuming a lot of electric energy. Is it possible to create glass that can darken automatically(自动地) against strong sunlight, requiring no electric power at all? Scientists from Aarhus University in Denmark have successfully invented a kind of smart glass to achieve this eco-friendly effect. The invention relies on tiny silver structures called silver nanorings, which are fixed inside the glass. When strong sunlight meets these tiny rings, they respond by blocking unnecessary heat from passing through the glass. The stronger the sunlight becomes, the more heat it can block. Most surprisingly, the entire physical reaction continues naturally without using electricity. With this smart glass, modern buildings can cut down energy use effectively. The material keeps indoor spaces cool in a natural way, reducing the use of air conditioners. Meanwhile, decreased energy use contributes to fewer carbon emissions (排放), bringing huge environmental benefits. However, the new technology isn’t fully developed for the market yet. For one thing, the smart glass functions perfectly under specific weather conditions, and researchers are determined to help it better adapt to different climates. For another, producing the silver nanorings still requires high costs now. Even so, researchers keep positive and firmly believe that these difficulties will be overcome in the near future. If the technology is widely applied, smart glass will be popular in offices, living buildings and even vehicles, creating an energy-saving world with zero electricity waste for temperature control. 8. Why does the author mention air-conditioning devices? A. To offer guidance on using air-conditioning. B. To criticize people for wasting energy. C. To show the problem of large glass buildings. D. To compare different cooling methods. 9. How does smart glass work? A. It relies on huge structures. B. It darkens by using electricity. C. It turns sunlight into power. D. It keeps unwanted heat outdoors. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. Where smart glass can be applied. B. When smart glass works perfectly. C. Why smart glass isn’t ready for sale. D. What makes smart glass expensive. 11. Which best describes the researchers’ attitude towards the future of smart glass? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Uninterested. D The world is facing a significant challenge, with about 2.2 billion people lacking access to safe drinking water. However, there is wonderful news on the horizon! Nobel Prize-winning professor Omar Yaghi has developed an innovative device that offers a promising solution by collecting water directly from the air to create clean drinking water. Remarkably, this device works even in the harshest environments, including deserts, as has been proved during recent tests in the intense heat of Death Valley. Professor Yaghi, honored with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, believes that this incredible invention has the potential to “change the world”, particularly for those living in drought-stricken areas and for communities affected by natural disasters. Yaghi’s journey to this invention was shaped by his own experiences growing up in a poor community in Jordan, where he often faced challenges in accessing running water and electricity. He fondly recalls the excitement and urgency in his neighborhood when the announcement came that water would be available, highlighting the importance of this precious resource. Thanks to its green power source, the device can operate independently of traditional power grids, making it ideal for remote villages, disaster-stricken areas, and drought-affected regions that lack proper water systems. Its design offers a local solution, perfect for situations where transporting water or constructing pipelines is not accessible. “On climate, the hour for collective action has already arrived. The science is here,” Professor Yaghi stated. “What we need now is the courage to handle these challenges with determination, ensuring that we leave behind for the next generation not only solutions for carbon capture (碳捕集) but also a planet that fulfills their dreams and hopes.” The future is bright, and with such innovative minds like Yaghi leading the charge, we can look forward to a world where clean water is accessible to all, no matter where they may live. 12. What can be inferred about the device from the first paragraph? A. It requires much electricity. B. It aims to solve the water shortage. C. It is designed for rich countries. D. It increases the water waste globally. 13. What does the underlined word “harshest” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Roughest. B. Smartest. C. Mildest. D. Farthest. 14. What inspired Yaghi’s invention? A. His travel experiences. B. His university research. C. His early life struggles. D. His Nobel Prize. 15. What does Yaghi stress in paragraph 5? A. The necessity of constructing more pipelines. B. The scientific theory behind carbon capture. C. The importance of winning the Nobel Prize. D. The need of working on climate together. 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。 Master body language in public speaking In public speaking, body language can make or break your presentation.

You could challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage from the music and the person you were challenging would play it first — then you would play it. The teacher would determine which of you won. If you won, you switched (交换) places with the loser and moved up one chair. And at the end of December, whoever was first-chair violin, first-chair viola and first-chair cello (大提琴) would play the three separate solos (独奏) in the big New Year Concert. Hearing this I was determined to be the one who played the cello solo in the New Year Concert. I was second-chair, third-cello. In order for me to become first-chair, first-cello I would need to do five Chair Challenges — and win all five! And I only had six weeks to do it. The school allowed us to take instruments home on weekends. I decided to take my cello home and practice hard. So every single Friday and then again on Monday, for six weeks I carried this big cello case onto and off the bus before and after school. Then I went home and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sounded terrible. But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened around the second week. I wasn’t sounding that terrible anymore. And I realized I was getting better. The first Chair Challenge the following Friday was a nervous affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said, “Challenge successful — switch chairs.” I felt excited. I didn’t dare tell anyone about my goal. I knew they’d tell me it was impossible. The girl who was first-chair, first-cello, Patricia, had been playing for years! Surely, to unseat Patricia would be very difficult. But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week — until it was the last Friday of December. I was now second-chair, first-cello. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned to me and laughed. “Well ...?” she said. 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。 “Challenge!” I called out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The class cheered and clapped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 4 Body Language 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 Here are some of the best examples of ongoing, large-scale and long-term projects to restore ecosystems worldwide.

Confident body language, like standing tall, helps you establish trust and connection with your audience.____16____When used correctly, body language becomes a powerful tool for strengthening interaction. So explore key techniques to improve your nonverbal communication skills in public speaking. Practice in front of a mirror. One of the most effective ways to improve body language is through self-observation. Practicing in front of a mirror allows you to observe your poses, facial expressions, and gestures in real time.____17____. Match body language with your speech for impact. Effective communication happens when your verbal messages perfectly match your nonverbal delivery.____18____When you’re delivering a message of enthusiasm, your facial expressions and gestures should reveal that energy. Similarly, calm body language helps project reliability when you’re speaking about a serious topic. This is crucial in building trust with your audience. ____19____ Pausing (停顿) at the right moment while speaking helps you manage your pace and avoid unnecessary words like “um” or “ah”, and can also strengthen your body language. For example, a pause before delivering a key point allows your facial expressions and gestures to attach significance to the message. It gives you time to make meaningful eye contact with your audience and allows them to process your words. Employ open gestures. ____20____However, unnecessary or uncontrolled movements may cause distractions from your message. The key is to try to use open, purposeful gestures that feel natural and match your words. Open gestures, like uncrossed arms, palms up, and broad hand movements, signal openness, confidence, and warmth, helping your audience feel more comfortable. A. Focus on intentional movements. B. Make use of strategic short silence. C. You can use hand gestures to illustrate progress. D. Your body language should strengthen your speech. E. This makes you more aware of your body language patterns. F. Gestures do support communication by adding emphasis and clarity. G. By contrast, nervous habits like avoiding eye contact can distract listeners. 第二部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40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。 It was in 1914 that the world was first introduced to the classic children’s toy set, Tinkertoys.

You could challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage from the music and the person you were challenging would play it first — then you would play it. The teacher would determine which of you won. If you won, you switched (交换) places with the loser and moved up one chair. And at the end of December, whoever was first-chair violin, first-chair viola and first-chair cello (大提琴) would play the three separate solos (独奏) in the big New Year Concert. Hearing this I was determined to be the one who played the cello solo in the New Year Concert. I was second-chair, third-cello. In order for me to become first-chair, first-cello I would need to do five Chair Challenges — and win all five! And I only had six weeks to do it. The school allowed us to take instruments home on weekends. I decided to take my cello home and practice hard. So every single Friday and then again on Monday, for six weeks I carried this big cello case onto and off the bus before and after school. Then I went home and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sounded terrible. But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened around the second week. I wasn’t sounding that terrible anymore. And I realized I was getting better. The first Chair Challenge the following Friday was a nervous affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said, “Challenge successful — switch chairs.” I felt excited. I didn’t dare tell anyone about my goal. I knew they’d tell me it was impossible. The girl who was first-chair, first-cello, Patricia, had been playing for years! Surely, to unseat Patricia would be very difficult. But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week — until it was the last Friday of December. I was now second-chair, first-cello. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned to me and laughed. “Well ...?” she said. 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。 “Challenge!” I called out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The class cheered and clapped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $ 2026-2027学年高二英语选择性必修一单元自测卷 Unit 4 Body Language （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．C 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．C 6．B 7．D 8．C 9．D 10．C 11．B 12．B 13．A 14．C 15．D 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 16．G 17．E 18．D 19．B 20．F 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．A 22．C 23．B 24．B 25．A 26．D 27．C 28．C 29．D 30．A 31．B 32．B 33．A 34．C 35．D 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 36．began 37．arrival 38．earning 39．Interestingly 40．feet 41．the 42．to 43．that/which 44．to walk 45．creative 第三节 词语运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 46．varies 47．appropriately 48．approved 49．witnessed 50．assess 51．identical 52．interpreted 53．barriers 54．reliable 55．clarify 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） My Experience Using Body Language I’d like to share a memorable experience about the power of body language. Last month, my friend was giving a presentation but suddenly forgot his words. He looked very nervous. I didn’t want to interrupt him by speaking. Instead, I made eye contact, gave him a warm smile, and nodded slightly to show my support and encouragement. Seeing this, he took a deep breath, smiled back, and confidently continued his talk. This experience taught me that a simple, kind gesture can sometimes be more powerful and comforting than words. Body language is truly a universal and silent communicator that connects our hearts. 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） “Challenge!” I called out. Everyone laughed and cheered. The teacher pulled out two pieces of music. Patricia went first, being the challenged, and she played the passage beautifully. Only one little mistake. Then it was my turn. I was unfamiliar with this piece, but I’d been practicing, and my sight-reading had improved so much that I was confident I could do well. I took a deep breath and began. I played that passage so smoothly that it was like I’d been playing it all my life. The class cheered and clapped. I was surprised. No one had ever clapped after a Chair Challenge. Even Patricia was clapping! The teacher had a smile as he nodded. “Challenge successful, switch. And, congratulations, First-Chair, First-Cello.” It turned out that the piece he had given us to play was the actual cello solo for the New Year Concert. I learned, from my personal experiences, that you can achieve what you set out to complete. 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 / 2 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 4 Body Language 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 Here are some of the best examples of ongoing, large-scale and long-term projects to restore ecosystems worldwide. The Northern Mozambique Channel This small region is home to 35% of the coral reefs found in the entire Indian Ocean. However, it was threatened by agricultural pollution, overfishing and climate change. Funded by the United Nations, Comoros, Mozambique and Tanzania are working together to manage, protect and restore almost 87,200 hectares of interconnected land and sea. And 4.85 million hectares are expected to be restored by 2030. Great Green Wall Launched by the African Union in 2007, this project seeks to transform the lives of millions in the Sahel region by creating a green wall that runs across 11 countries. The 2030 goals of the Great Green Wall are to restore 100 million hectares and create 10 million jobs across the continent, with a particular focus on Burkina Faso and Niger. Shan-Shui Initiative Launched in 2016, this ambitious initiative aims to restore 10 million hectares of natural spaces across China, including forests, grasslands and waterways by 2030. Examples include the Oujiang River Headwaters Project in Zhejiang Province, which integrates scientific knowledge with traditional farming methods, like combining crops with fish- and duck-raising, to make land use more sustainable. About 3.5 million hectares have been restored so far. Central American Dry Corridor Exposed to heatwaves and unpredictable rainfall, the ecosystems and peoples of the Central American Dry Corridor are seriously affected by climate change, which has left 1.2 million people hungry in the region. Turning to traditional farming methods to increase the soil’s productivity is at the heart of this project which covers six countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. 1. Who is providing funds for the project in the Indian Ocean? A. Comoros. B. Mozambique. C. The United Nations. D. The African Union. 2. What can we know about the Oujiang River Headwaters Project? A. It aims to improve traditional farming methods. B. It tries to restore forests, grasslands and waterways. C. It has restored 10 million hectares of land in Zhejiang. D. One of its goals is to make agriculture more sustainable. 3. Which project mainly focuses on making the soil more productive? A. Great Green Wall. B. Central American Dry Corridor. C. Shan-Shui Initiative. D. The Northern Mozambique Channel. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章围绕全球大型生态修复项目展开，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The Northern Mozambique Channel中“Funded by the United Nations, Comoros, Mozambique and Tanzania are working together to manage, protect and restore almost 87,200 hectares of interconnected land and sea.( 在联合国的支持下，科摩罗、莫桑比克和坦桑尼亚正携手合作，共同管理、保护并恢复近87,200公顷相互连通的陆地与海洋。)”可知，印度洋地区的项目资金由联合国提供。 2．细节理解题。根据Shan-Shui Initiative中“Examples include the Oujiang River Headwaters Project in Zhejiang Province, which integrates scientific knowledge with traditional farming methods, like combining crops with fish- and duck-raising, to make land use more sustainable.( 例如，浙江省的瓯江源头项目就将科学知识与传统农耕方式相结合，如农作物与鱼、鸭养殖的结合，以实现土地利用的可持续性。)”可知，该项目的目标之一是使农业（土地利用）更具可持续性。 3．细节理解题。根据Central American Dry Corridor中“Turning to traditional farming methods to increase the soil’s productivity is at the heart of this project which covers six countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.( 该项目的核心是通过采用传统农耕方式提高土壤生产力，覆盖了哥斯达黎加、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜和巴拿马等六个国家。)”可知，中美洲干旱走廊项目受气候变化影响严重，其核心目标就是通过传统农耕方式提升土壤生产力，应对粮食问题。 B Born in 1961 in Oregon, Mary Brunkow developed an early love for math and science, particularly genetics (基因学). Although she entered university on a pre-medicine track, a genetics course and her first lab experience completely changed her direction, leading her toward a career in research. At Princeton University, Brunkow chose to study a gene that many scientists considered as “rubbish.” Later, working with Fred Ramsdell, she turned to an old scientific puzzle — the “scurfy (多鳞屑)” mouse. This mutation (突变), which had appeared by chance in the 1940s, caused severe autoimmune (自我免疫的) disease only in males. The responsible gene was known to lie on the X chromosome (染色体), but its exact identity remained a mystery. Brunkow and Ramsdell believed that finding this gene would reveal a lot about how autoimmune diseases take place. In the 1990s, locating a single mutated gene was nearly impossible. They mapped the related region of the X chromosome and narrowed the search to twenty potential genes. To raise enough mice, Brunkow even changed an unused janitor’s closet (清洁储藏室) into a mouse room. After much effort, they found a tiny genetic change in a gene they named Foxp3. They next supposed that Foxp3 might also cause IPEX, a rare human autoimmune disease linked to the X chromosome. In 2001, they confirmed that mutations in Foxp3 are responsible for both IPEX and the scurfy condition. This discovery made researchers know how the body learned not to attack itself. In 2025, Brunkow and Ramsdell shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Japanese immunologist Shimon Sakaguchi. Their work opened new possibilities for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases. Brunkow’s journey — from a “rubbish” gene to a Nobel Prize — shows how following scientific curiosity can lead to discoveries that truly change medicine. 4. What made Brunkow change her career direction? A. Her early interest in math and science, especially genetics. B. A genetics course and her first experience in the lab. C. Her choice to study a “rubbish” gene at Princeton University. D. Her desire to solve the puzzle of the “scurfy” mouse mutation. 5. What was the major reason for Brunkow and Ramsdell to win the Nobel Prize? A. They found the real identify and function of the “scurfy” mice. B. They invented a new treatment for all kinds of autoimmune diseases. C. They identified the Foxp3 gene and revealed its key role in immune regulation. D. They proved that scientific curiosity can lead to great discoveries. 6. Which of the following best describes Brunkow as a scientist? A. Impatient. B. Curious. C. Emotional. D. Proud. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A pair of hardworking researchers. B. A promising career in medicine. C. A forgotten laboratory experiment. D. An admirable scientist and her discovery. 【答案】4．B 5．C 6．B 7．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕Mary Brunkow的科研探索与医学发现展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 4．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Although she entered university on a pre-medicine track, a genetics course and her first lab experience completely changed her direction, leading her toward a career in research.(虽然她进入大学时攻读医学预科方向，但一门基因学课程和她的第一次实验室经历彻底改变了她的方向，让她走上了科研职业道路)”可知，一门基因学课程和首次实验室经历改变了她的职业方向。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In 2001, they confirmed that mutations in Foxp3 are responsible for both IPEX and the scurfy condition. This discovery made researchers know how the body learned not to attack itself.(2001年，他们证实Foxp3基因的突变是导致IPEX疾病和鳞屑病症的原因。这一发现让研究人员了解了人体如何避免自我攻击)”以及最后一段“Their work opened new possibilities for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases.(他们的研究为癌症和自身免疫疾病的治疗开辟了新的可能)”可知，二人获奖的核心原因是识别出Foxp3基因并揭示了其在免疫调节中的关键作用。 6．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Brunkow’s journey — from a “rubbish” gene to a Nobel Prize — shows how following scientific curiosity can lead to discoveries that truly change medicine.(布朗科从研究“无用”基因到斩获诺贝尔奖的经历表明，追随科学好奇心能够带来真正改变医学的发现)”可知，布朗科是一名富有好奇心的科学家。 7．主旨大意题。根据首段“Born in 1961 in Oregon, Mary Brunkow developed an early love for math and science, particularly genetics. Although she entered university on a pre-medicine track, a genetics course and her first lab experience completely changed her direction, leading her toward a career in research.(玛丽・布朗科1961年生于俄勒冈州，自幼喜爱数学与科学，尤其是基因学。虽然她进入大学时攻读医学预科方向，但一门基因学课程和她的第一次实验室经历彻底改变了她的方向，让她走上了科研职业道路)”、第三段“After much effort, they found a tiny genetic change in a gene they named Foxp3.(历经诸多努力，他们在一个命名为Foxp3的基因中找到了一处微小基因变异)”以及尾段“Brunkow’s journey — from a “rubbish” gene to a Nobel Prize — shows how following scientific curiosity can lead to discoveries that truly change medicine.(布朗科从研究“无用”基因到斩获诺贝尔奖的经历表明，追随科学好奇心能够带来真正改变医学的发现)”可知，全文围绕科学家Mary Brunkow的科研历程、重大基因发现展开叙述。选项D“An admirable scientist and her discovery(一位值得敬佩的科学家和她的发现)”能概括文章主旨。 C Large glass buildings enjoy an attractive appearance and are widely adopted in modern building design. But they suffer from an unavoidable problem. Too much sunlight passes through the glass, causing indoor temperatures to rise greatly during hot summers. To keep a comfortable indoor temperature, air-conditioning (空调) devices have to work continuously, consuming a lot of electric energy. Is it possible to create glass that can darken automatically(自动地) against strong sunlight, requiring no electric power at all? Scientists from Aarhus University in Denmark have successfully invented a kind of smart glass to achieve this eco-friendly effect. The invention relies on tiny silver structures called silver nanorings, which are fixed inside the glass. When strong sunlight meets these tiny rings, they respond by blocking unnecessary heat from passing through the glass. The stronger the sunlight becomes, the more heat it can block. Most surprisingly, the entire physical reaction continues naturally without using electricity. With this smart glass, modern buildings can cut down energy use effectively. The material keeps indoor spaces cool in a natural way, reducing the use of air conditioners. Meanwhile, decreased energy use contributes to fewer carbon emissions (排放), bringing huge environmental benefits. However, the new technology isn’t fully developed for the market yet. For one thing, the smart glass functions perfectly under specific weather conditions, and researchers are determined to help it better adapt to different climates. For another, producing the silver nanorings still requires high costs now. Even so, researchers keep positive and firmly believe that these difficulties will be overcome in the near future. If the technology is widely applied, smart glass will be popular in offices, living buildings and even vehicles, creating an energy-saving world with zero electricity waste for temperature control. 8. Why does the author mention air-conditioning devices? A. To offer guidance on using air-conditioning. B. To criticize people for wasting energy. C. To show the problem of large glass buildings. D. To compare different cooling methods. 9. How does smart glass work? A. It relies on huge structures. B. It darkens by using electricity. C. It turns sunlight into power. D. It keeps unwanted heat outdoors. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. Where smart glass can be applied. B. When smart glass works perfectly. C. Why smart glass isn’t ready for sale. D. What makes smart glass expensive. 11. Which best describes the researchers’ attitude towards the future of smart glass? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Uninterested. 【答案】8．C 9．D 10．C 11．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕无需用电的自调光智能玻璃展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 8．推理判断题。根据第一段“Too much sunlight passes through the glass, causing indoor temperatures to rise greatly during hot summers. To keep a comfortable indoor temperature, air-conditioning (空调) devices have to work continuously, consuming a lot of electric energy.(过多的阳光透过玻璃，导致炎热的夏天室内温度大幅上升。为了保持舒适的室内温度，空调设备必须持续运行，消耗大量电能)”可知，作者提到空调设备是为了说明大型玻璃建筑存在的问题，即因阳光透过玻璃带来的高能耗问题。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“When strong sunlight meets these tiny rings, they respond by blocking unnecessary heat from passing through the glass.(当强烈的阳光照射到这些小环时，它们会做出反应，阻挡不必要的热量透过玻璃)”可知，智能玻璃是通过将多余热量阻挡在室外来工作的。 10．主旨大意题。根据第五段“However, the new technology isn’t fully developed for the market yet. For one thing, the smart glass functions perfectly under specific weather conditions, and researchers are determined to help it better adapt to different climates. For another, producing the silver nanorings still requires high costs now.(但这项新技术尚未完成面向市场的全面研发。一方面，这种智能玻璃仅能在特定天气环境下稳定运行，研究人员正致力于优化它，使其更好适应各类气候；另一方面，目前制备银纳米环的生产成本依旧很高)”可知，第五段主要讲智能玻璃暂未上市的原因。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even so, researchers keep positive and firmly believe that these difficulties will be overcome in the near future.(即便如此，研究人员仍保持积极态度，并坚信这些困难将在不久的将来被克服)”可知，研究人员对智能玻璃的未来充满希望。 D The world is facing a significant challenge, with about 2.2 billion people lacking access to safe drinking water. However, there is wonderful news on the horizon! Nobel Prize-winning professor Omar Yaghi has developed an innovative device that offers a promising solution by collecting water directly from the air to create clean drinking water. Remarkably, this device works even in the harshest environments, including deserts, as has been proved during recent tests in the intense heat of Death Valley. Professor Yaghi, honored with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, believes that this incredible invention has the potential to “change the world”, particularly for those living in drought-stricken areas and for communities affected by natural disasters. Yaghi’s journey to this invention was shaped by his own experiences growing up in a poor community in Jordan, where he often faced challenges in accessing running water and electricity. He fondly recalls the excitement and urgency in his neighborhood when the announcement came that water would be available, highlighting the importance of this precious resource. Thanks to its green power source, the device can operate independently of traditional power grids, making it ideal for remote villages, disaster-stricken areas, and drought-affected regions that lack proper water systems. Its design offers a local solution, perfect for situations where transporting water or constructing pipelines is not accessible. “On climate, the hour for collective action has already arrived. The science is here,” Professor Yaghi stated. “What we need now is the courage to handle these challenges with determination, ensuring that we leave behind for the next generation not only solutions for carbon capture (碳捕集) but also a planet that fulfills their dreams and hopes.” The future is bright, and with such innovative minds like Yaghi leading the charge, we can look forward to a world where clean water is accessible to all, no matter where they may live. 12. What can be inferred about the device from the first paragraph? A. It requires much electricity. B. It aims to solve the water shortage. C. It is designed for rich countries. D. It increases the water waste globally. 13. What does the underlined word “harshest” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Roughest. B. Smartest. C. Mildest. D. Farthest. 14. What inspired Yaghi’s invention? A. His travel experiences. B. His university research. C. His early life struggles. D. His Nobel Prize. 15. What does Yaghi stress in paragraph 5? A. The necessity of constructing more pipelines. B. The scientific theory behind carbon capture. C. The importance of winning the Nobel Prize. D. The need of working on climate together. 【答案】12．B 13．A 14．C 15．D 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章围绕从空气中获取饮用水的设备展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 12．推理判断题。根据第一段“The world is facing a significant challenge, with about 2.2 billion people lacking access to safe drinking water. However, there is wonderful news on the horizon! Nobel Prize-winning professor Omar Yaghi has developed an innovative device that offers a promising solution by collecting water directly from the air to create clean drinking water.(世界正面临一个重大挑战，约有22亿人无法获得安全饮用水。然而，好消息即将到来！诺贝尔奖得主奥马尔·亚吉教授研发出一种创新装置，能够直接从空气中收集水分，制取清洁的饮用水，提供了一种极具前景的解决方案。)”可推知，该设备的研发目标就是解决水资源短缺问题。 13．词句猜测题。根据第二段划线单词句中“including deserts, as has been proved during recent tests in the intense heat of Death Valley.( 包括沙漠，最近在死亡谷的高温测试中已经证明了这一点。)”可知，后文举例该设备可在沙漠、死亡谷的酷热环境中运行，这类都属于自然条件极端恶劣的环境。harshest 意为“最严酷的、最恶劣的”，与 A选项roughest（最艰难的、最恶劣的）语义相近。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yaghi’s journey to this invention was shaped by his own experiences growing up in a poor community in Jordan, where he often faced challenges in accessing running water and electricity.(亚吉教授的发明之路源于他成长于约旦一个贫困社区的经历。在那里，他常常难以获得自来水和电力。)”可知，亚吉年少时在贫困社区缺水缺电的生活困境，是他研发这款设备的初衷与灵感来源。 15．推理判断题。根据第五段““On climate, the hour for collective action has already arrived. The science is here,” Professor Yaghi stated. “What we need now is the courage to handle these challenges with determination, ensuring that we leave behind for the next generation not only solutions for carbon capture (碳捕集) but also a planet that fulfills their dreams and hopes.”(“在气候问题上，集体行动的时机已经到来，科学已经摆在眼前，”亚吉教授表示，“我们现在需要的是勇气，以坚定的决心应对这些挑战，确保为下一代留下不仅包括碳捕获技术的解决方案，更一个能够实现他们梦想与希望的地球。”)”可推知，亚吉强调气候问题需要人类集体行动、共同应对。 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。 Master body language in public speaking In public speaking, body language can make or break your presentation.

This experience taught me that a simple, kind gesture can sometimes be more powerful and comforting than words. Body language is truly a universal and silent communicator that connects our hearts. 【词汇积累】 make eye contact 进行眼神交流 give sb a warm smile 给某人一个温暖的微笑 show support and encouragement 表达支持和鼓励 take a deep breath 深呼吸 a universal and silent communicator 一种通用而无声的交流方式 【高分句型】 I’d like to share a memorable experience about the power of body language.

You could challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage from the music and the person you were challenging would play it first — then you would play it. The teacher would determine which of you won. If you won, you switched (交换) places with the loser and moved up one chair. And at the end of December, whoever was first-chair violin, first-chair viola and first-chair cello (大提琴) would play the three separate solos (独奏) in the big New Year Concert. Hearing this I was determined to be the one who played the cello solo in the New Year Concert. I was second-chair, third-cello. In order for me to become first-chair, first-cello I would need to do five Chair Challenges — and win all five! And I only had six weeks to do it. The school allowed us to take instruments home on weekends. I decided to take my cello home and practice hard. So every single Friday and then again on Monday, for six weeks I carried this big cello case onto and off the bus before and after school. Then I went home and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sounded terrible. But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened around the second week. I wasn’t sounding that terrible anymore. And I realized I was getting better. The first Chair Challenge the following Friday was a nervous affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said, “Challenge successful — switch chairs.” I felt excited. I didn’t dare tell anyone about my goal. I knew they’d tell me it was impossible. The girl who was first-chair, first-cello, Patricia, had been playing for years! Surely, to unseat Patricia would be very difficult. But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week — until it was the last Friday of December. I was now second-chair, first-cello. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned to me and laughed. “Well ...?” she said. 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。 “Challenge!” I called out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The class cheered and clapped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【导语】①由第一段首句内容““挑战！”我喊道。”可知，第一段可描写Patricia演奏之后，作者开始演奏，并演奏得很好。 【详解】 “Challenge!” I called out. Everyone laughed and cheered. The teacher pulled out two pieces of music. Patricia went first, being the challenged, and she played the passage beautifully. Only one little mistake. Then it was my turn. I was unfamiliar with this piece, but I’d been practicing, and my sight-reading had improved so much that I was confident I could do well. I took a deep breath and began. I played that passage so smoothly that it was like I’d been playing it all my life. The class cheered and clapped. I was surprised. No one had ever clapped after a Chair Challenge. Even Patricia was clapping! The teacher had a smile as he nodded. “Challenge successful, switch. And, congratulations, First-Chair, First-Cello.” It turned out that the piece he had given us to play was the actual cello solo for the New Year Concert. I learned, from my personal experiences, that you can achieve what you set out to complete. 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 $
