B For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow. The change began with the arrival of a young agricultural scientist, Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with polite skepticism, his face a mask of weathered tradition. Out of boredom, I started wandering around them. I was surprised to find myself inspired. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark (火花) of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness. One afternoon, a sudden hailstorm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic seized me — not for myself, but for the vines we had grown. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friends. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I got involved. The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A profound pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own. 4. What did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard? A. A burden. B. A reward. C. A lesson. D. An entertainment. 5. What changed the author’s view of the vineyard? A. Miss Li’s suggestion. B. His grandfather’s persuasion. C. His involvement in the vineyard. D. The new “Rural Revitalization” project. 6. What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize? A. The freedom of modern urban life. B. A material for recording one’s experience. C. The transition between tradition and modernity. D. A platform for realizing one’s potential and value. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. From Chain to Canvas: My Growth in the Vineyard B. A Summer Escape: From City Life to the Countryside C. An Exciting Success: the “Rural Revitalization” Project D. The Lasting Conflict: Traditional Wisdom vs Modern Tech C Imagine being a tiny baby snail (蜗牛), just floating around the vast ocean for months until you find a suitable place to grow into an adult. This is the life of Kellet’s whelks. Historically, these sea snails lived only in the warm waters of Southern California and Mexico. However, in recent years, some have moved 300 kilometers north, to much colder waters, and scientists wanted to find out if they had truly adapted to the colder northern environment. To investigate this, researchers collected Kellet’s whelks from both southern and northern parts of the Pacific Coast of California. They brought all the snails to a special tank and kept them in controlled conditions. The adult snails were allowed to have babies. Scientists then studied the babies’ DNA because they had spent their entire lives in the same environment, making sure any observed differences were due to their genes, not their life experiences. The study revealed significant genetic differences between the northern and southern snails. A large number of genes (2,770) were working differently in the northern snails, with 64% of these genes being more active. These distinct gene patterns allowed researchers to accurately tell if a baby snail’s parents were from the north or south just by looking at its DNA. These results strongly suggest that the northern snails have adapted to their new, colder habitat. This adaptation involved mutations — if their genes hadn’t changed, the researchers wouldn’t have been able to tell the snails apart. But why did these whelks move north and how did they adapt? Changing ocean currents carried some baby snails northward, and occasional warmer water bursts made it easier for them to survive there initially. Over time, snails that already had slight DNA differences helping them handle colder temperatures were more likely to survive and multiply. This research can help us understand how other ocean animals might respond to a changing climate and support sustainable fishing practices for species like Kellet’s whelks. 8. What is the recent discovery about Kellet’s whelks? A. A loss of their babies. B. A change in their size. C. A shift in their habitats. D. A drop in their population. 9. Why did the scientists study the DNA of baby snails? A. To record their life experience. B. To make different observations. C. To rule out environmental factors. D. To control their living conditions. 10. What does the underlined word “mutations” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Changes in the DNA. B. Differences in the form. C. Weaknesses in the body. D. Adjustments in behavior. 11. How is the text structured? A. Problem — Analysis — Solutions — Actions. B. Phenomenon — Methods — Findings — Implication. C. Argument — Evidence — Explanation — Conclusion. D. Observation — Assumption — Comparison — Application. D It is unbelievable that climate change can affect cows’ diets, which in turn affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory qualities — including its taste, color, and mouthfeel. This is at least true for Cantal, a hard cheese from central France, researchers report in the Journal of Dairy (乳制品) Science. Cows in this region traditionally feed on local grass. But as climate change causes more severe droughts, some dairy producers are shifting to alternative feeds like corn for their cows. “Farmers seek feeds that yield more or are more drought-tolerant than grass, but they also want to know how these dietary changes affect their products,” explains animal scientist Matthieu Bouchon. For almost five months, Bouchon and colleagues at France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows of two breeds (品种) by creating a dry condition and supplementing grass with corn in varying amounts. The researchers regularly sampled the cows’ milk and analyzed its fatty acids, proteins, and beneficial microbes — key components that shape the production, quality and nutrition of cheese. The team found that a corn-based diet did not reduce milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in methane, a major greenhouse gas emitted (排放) by cows. However, cheese from grass-fed cows was richer and more flavorful than that from cows mostly or entirely fed on corn. Grass-based diets also resulted in cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and higher levels of beneficial lactic (乳的) acid bacteria. To preserve quality, the researchers suggest farmers should include fresh grass in cows’ corn-based feed. French producers will possibly need different strategies to fit their environment and cow breeds. But Bouchon is certain of one thing: “If climate change continues on its current path, we will feel it in our cheese.” 12. What is the root cause of choosing alternative feeds? A. Climate change. B. The shortage of grass. C. Producers’ concern. D. Farmers’ request. 13. Which aspect of the research does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its influence. B. Its findings. C. Its significance. D. Its design. 14. Which may be increased with the corn-based diet? A. The flavor of cheese. B. The yield of milk. C. The emission of methane. D. The content of omega-3. 15. What is the purpose of this text? A. To provide tailored strategies for farmers. B. To stress French dairy producers’ worries. C. To explain the impact of climate change on cheese. D. To compare cheese from grass-fed and corn-fed cows. 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。 Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____16____ On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____17____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences. ____18____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments. What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____19____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress. But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____20____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are. In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope. A. But why do we love nostalgia so much? B. This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us. C. Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs. D. However, psychology experts say there’s more to it. E. It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic. F. Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy. G. Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was just a typical morning of an ordinary workday.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 雅礼中学2026年上学期期中考试试卷 高二英语 时量: 120分钟 分值: 150分 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow. The change began with the arrival of a young agricultural scientist, Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with polite skepticism, his face a mask of weathered tradition. Out of boredom, I started wandering around them. I was surprised to find myself inspired. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark (火花) of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness. One afternoon, a sudden hailstorm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic seized me — not for myself, but for the vines we had grown. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friends. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I got involved. The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A profound pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own. 4. What did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard? A. A burden. B. A reward. C. A lesson. D. An entertainment. 5. What changed the author’s view of the vineyard? A. Miss Li’s suggestion. B. His grandfather’s persuasion. C. His involvement in the vineyard. D. The new “Rural Revitalization” project. 6. What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize? A. The freedom of modern urban life. B. A material for recording one’s experience. C. The transition between tradition and modernity. D. A platform for realizing one’s potential and value. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. From Chain to Canvas: My Growth in the Vineyard B. A Summer Escape: From City Life to the Countryside C. An Exciting Success: the “Rural Revitalization” Project D. The Lasting Conflict: Traditional Wisdom vs Modern Tech 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者从厌恶祖父的葡萄园，到参与乡村振兴相关事务，最终在这片土地上实现自我成长与价值认同。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. (多年来，我把祖父的葡萄园看作是束缚我、让我困在被遗忘的过去的锁链。每个暑假都像是一种惩罚。)”可知，作者最初把在葡萄园的夏天当作一种负担。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li.(我开始把平板上的专业术语用我们的方言翻译给爷爷听，同时也把爷爷积攒了几十年的经验智慧讲解给李小姐。)”和第三段中的“I was no longer just an observer; I got involved.(我不再只是一个旁观者，而是参与了进来。)”以及后续经历可知，作者亲身参与到葡萄园的事务中，这改变了他对葡萄园的看法。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.(我终于明白，我的成长不是逃离这片土地，而是去丰富它。葡萄园不再是我的锁链，它成了我的画布。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中，我也找到了自己的根。)”可知，作者在葡萄园里实现了自我价值，找到了成长的方向，因此canvas(画布)象征着实现个人潜能与价值的平台。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的 “For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard as a chain tying me to a forgotten past.(多年来，我一直把祖父的葡萄园看作是束缚我、让我困在被遗忘过去的锁链。)”和最后一段中的“The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. (葡萄园不再是束缚我的锁链，它成了我的画布。)”可知，文章以作者对葡萄园的情感变化为线索，从一开始视其为束缚自己的锁链，到最后将其看作施展自我的画布，完整展现了作者在葡萄园中的成长历程，因此“从锁链到画布：我在葡萄园里的成长”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 C Imagine being a tiny baby snail (蜗牛), just floating around the vast ocean for months until you find a suitable place to grow into an adult. This is the life of Kellet’s whelks. Historically, these sea snails lived only in the warm waters of Southern California and Mexico. However, in recent years, some have moved 300 kilometers north, to much colder waters, and scientists wanted to find out if they had truly adapted to the colder northern environment. To investigate this, researchers collected Kellet’s whelks from both southern and northern parts of the Pacific Coast of California. They brought all the snails to a special tank and kept them in controlled conditions. The adult snails were allowed to have babies. Scientists then studied the babies’ DNA because they had spent their entire lives in the same environment, making sure any observed differences were due to their genes, not their life experiences. The study revealed significant genetic differences between the northern and southern snails. A large number of genes (2,770) were working differently in the northern snails, with 64% of these genes being more active. These distinct gene patterns allowed researchers to accurately tell if a baby snail’s parents were from the north or south just by looking at its DNA. These results strongly suggest that the northern snails have adapted to their new, colder habitat. This adaptation involved mutations — if their genes hadn’t changed, the researchers wouldn’t have been able to tell the snails apart. But why did these whelks move north and how did they adapt? Changing ocean currents carried some baby snails northward, and occasional warmer water bursts made it easier for them to survive there initially. Over time, snails that already had slight DNA differences helping them handle colder temperatures were more likely to survive and multiply. This research can help us understand how other ocean animals might respond to a changing climate and support sustainable fishing practices for species like Kellet’s whelks. 8. What is the recent discovery about Kellet’s whelks? A. A loss of their babies. B. A change in their size. C. A shift in their habitats. D. A drop in their population. 9. Why did the scientists study the DNA of baby snails? A. To record their life experience. B. To make different observations. C. To rule out environmental factors. D. To control their living conditions. 10. What does the underlined word “mutations” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Changes in the DNA. B. Differences in the form. C. Weaknesses in the body. D. Adjustments in behavior. 11. How is the text structured? A. Problem — Analysis — Solutions — Actions. B. Phenomenon — Methods — Findings — Implication. C. Argument — Evidence — Explanation — Conclusion. D. Observation — Assumption — Comparison — Application. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了近年来，克莱特蛾螺向北迁移至冷水域。科学家通过对比幼螺 DNA，发现它们已通过基因突变适应新环境，该研究有助于理解海洋生物应对气候变化的机制。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Historically, these sea snails lived only in the warm waters of Southern California and Mexico. However, in recent years, some have moved 300 kilometers north, to much colder waters, and scientists wanted to find out if they had truly adapted to the colder northern environment.( 从历史上看，这些海螺只生活在加利福尼亚州南部和墨西哥的温暖水域中。然而，近年来，一些海螺向北迁移了 300 公里，来到了更为寒冷的水域。科学家们想要弄清楚它们是否真的适应了更寒冷的北方环境。)”可知，这种海螺原本生活在南加州和墨西哥暖水区，近年向北迁移 300 公里到冷水域，即栖息地发生了迁移变化。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They brought all the snails to a special tank and kept them in controlled conditions. The adult snails were allowed to have babies. Scientists then studied the babies’ DNA because they had spent their entire lives in the same environment, making sure any observed differences were due to their genes, not their life experiences.( 他们将所有海螺带到一个特殊的水箱中，并在可控的条件下饲养它们。成年海螺被允许繁殖后代。随后，科学家们研究了幼崽的 DNA，因为它们一生都在相同的环境中生活，从而确保观察到的任何差异都是由基因决定的，而非生活经历所致。)”可知，研究幼螺 DNA 是为了确保差异源于基因，而非生活环境/经历，也就是排除环境因素的干扰。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线单词后文“if their genes hadn’t changed, the researchers wouldn’t have been able to tell the snails apart.( 如果它们的基因没有发生变化，研究人员就无法区分这些蜗牛。)”由此可知，这种适应过程涉及基因突变。故可猜测划线单词mutations为“突变”的意思，和A选项Changes in the DNA.“DNA 的变化”意思相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章的文本结构为现象：海螺栖息地北移；方法：对比南北海螺幼体 DNA；发现：北方海螺出现显著基因差异；意义：助力理解海洋生物适应气候变化。即现象—方法—发现—意义的结构。故选B项。 D It is unbelievable that climate change can affect cows’ diets, which in turn affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory qualities — including its taste, color, and mouthfeel. This is at least true for Cantal, a hard cheese from central France, researchers report in the Journal of Dairy (乳制品) Science. Cows in this region traditionally feed on local grass. But as climate change causes more severe droughts, some dairy producers are shifting to alternative feeds like corn for their cows. “Farmers seek feeds that yield more or are more drought-tolerant than grass, but they also want to know how these dietary changes affect their products,” explains animal scientist Matthieu Bouchon. For almost five months, Bouchon and colleagues at France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows of two breeds (品种) by creating a dry condition and supplementing grass with corn in varying amounts. The researchers regularly sampled the cows’ milk and analyzed its fatty acids, proteins, and beneficial microbes — key components that shape the production, quality and nutrition of cheese. The team found that a corn-based diet did not reduce milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in methane, a major greenhouse gas emitted (排放) by cows. However, cheese from grass-fed cows was richer and more flavorful than that from cows mostly or entirely fed on corn. Grass-based diets also resulted in cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and higher levels of beneficial lactic (乳的) acid bacteria. To preserve quality, the researchers suggest farmers should include fresh grass in cows’ corn-based feed. French producers will possibly need different strategies to fit their environment and cow breeds. But Bouchon is certain of one thing: “If climate change continues on its current path, we will feel it in our cheese.” 12. What is the root cause of choosing alternative feeds? A. Climate change. B. The shortage of grass. C. Producers’ concern. D. Farmers’ request. 13. Which aspect of the research does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its influence. B. Its findings. C. Its significance. D. Its design. 14. Which may be increased with the corn-based diet? A. The flavor of cheese. B. The yield of milk. C. The emission of methane. D. The content of omega-3. 15. What is the purpose of this text? A. To provide tailored strategies for farmers. B. To stress French dairy producers’ worries. C. To explain the impact of climate change on cheese. D. To compare cheese from grass-fed and corn-fed cows. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化导致干旱，迫使法国奶牛场主改用玉米饲料，研究发现这会影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质，并探讨了不同饲料对奶酪的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But as climate change causes more severe droughts, some dairy producers are shifting to alternative feeds like corn for their cows.(但随着气候变化导致更严重的干旱，一些奶制品生产商正在转向使用玉米等替代饲料来喂养奶牛。)”可知，选择替代饲料的根本原因是气候变化。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“For almost five months, Bouchon and colleagues at France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows of two breeds by creating a dry condition and supplementing grass with corn in varying amounts. The researchers regularly sampled the cows’ milk and analyzed its fatty acids, proteins, and beneficial microbes(在近五个月的时间里，Bouchon和他在法国国家农业、食品和环境研究所的同事们通过创造干燥条件并以不同量的玉米补充草料，对两个品种的40头奶牛进行了测试。研究人员定期采集牛奶样本，分析其中的脂肪酸、蛋白质和有益微生物)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究的实验设计和方法。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The team found that a corn-based diet did not reduce milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in methane(研究小组发现，以玉米为主的饲料并未减少牛奶产量，甚至导致甲烷的估计减少)”可知，以玉米为主的饲料可能使牛奶产量保持不变或有所增加，而“methane(甲烷)”的排放量是减少的。又根据第四段中“However, cheese from grass-fed cows was richer and more flavorful(然而，草饲奶牛的奶酪更丰富、更美味)”和“Grass-based diets also resulted in cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids(以草为基础的饮食也导致奶酪含有更多对心脏有益的omega-3脂肪酸)”可知，“flavor(风味)”和Omega-3是草饲的优势。因此，相对于草饲，玉米饲料可能维持或增加的方面是“Yield of milk(产奶量)”。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“It is unbelievable that climate change can affect cows’ diets, which in turn affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory qualities(令人难以置信的是，气候变化会影响奶牛的饮食，进而影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质)”可知，文章介绍了气候变化导致干旱，迫使法国奶牛场主改用玉米饲料，研究发现这会影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质，并探讨了不同饲料对奶酪的影响。因此，本文的目的是为了解释气候变化对奶酪的影响。故选C。 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。 Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____16____ On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____17____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences. ____18____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds.

What better way to express how you feel on any given day, and convey that mood ____36____ the world, she would say. It was important to the eye, to the soul. It really isn’t the best advice ____37____ (give) any teenager, especially one ____38____ was hoping to disappear in all-black sportswear. Now I see her advice isn’t about fashion or looking good for others, or making an impression, ____39____ about dressing from the inside. It has taken me a while to lean into the power of this. I’m not quite sure when I ____40____ (start) applying it myself but I remember waking up one morning in my early 20s, looking at my wardrobe (衣柜) and thinking: what colour do I feel like wearing today? It’s ____41____ question that brings a surprising degree of daily self-awareness. It’s asking, “What mood am I in?” “Do I want ____42____ (see) or do I want to hide?”. The idea of starting the day in the right colour sends me back to myself. My wardrobe ____43____ (become) more colourful over the years, and, my mother was right: it does bring me joy to wear pink shoes with a golden shine, and a silver dress which is so bright that it can ____44____ (probable) be spotted from the moon. Wearing ____45____ (shine) colours brings me enormous happiness, and when I do, I feel as if I am shouting: “Look, it’s me, me, meeee.” 【答案】36. to 37. to give 38. who##that 39. but 40. started 41. a 42. to be seen 43. has become 44. probably 45. shiny##shining 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲的是作者对母亲建议自己穿多彩衣服这一看法的转变过程。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：她常说，还有什么比通过每天穿着不同色彩的衣服来表达内心感受，并将这种情绪传递给全世界更好的方式呢？convey sth. to sb.是固定短语，意为“给某人传递某物”，故填to。 【37题详解】 考查不定式。句意：这实在不是给任何青少年，尤其是那些希望穿着全黑运动服隐没于人群中的青少年的最佳建议。名词advice前有最高级the best修饰，空格处用不定式作后置定语，故填to give。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这实在不是给任何青少年，尤其是那些希望穿着全黑运动服隐没于人群中的青少年的最佳建议。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是one，指的是teenager，是人，因此用关系代词who/that引导定语从句，故填who/that。 【39题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：如今我明白，她的建议并非关乎时尚、取悦他人或给人留下深刻印象，而是关乎由内而外地装扮自己。not...but...是固定搭配，意为“不是……而是……”，因此空格处是but，故填but。 【40题详解】 考查时态。句意：我不太确定自己是什么时候开始身体力行的，但我记得二十出头时的一天早晨，我醒来看着自己的衣柜，心想：今天我想穿什么颜色呢？句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填started。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这个问题能带来出人意料的日常自我觉察。question是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，空格处用不定冠词，question是辅音音素开头，空格处用不定冠词a，故填a。 【42题详解】 考查不定式和被动语态。句意：我是想被人看到，还是想躲起来？want to do是固定短语，意为“想要做某事”，“我”是想被人看到，因此空格处用不定式的被动语态to be seen，故填to be seen。 【43题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：多年来，我的衣柜变得越来越色彩斑斓，而且，母亲说得对：穿上那双金光闪闪的粉色鞋子，还有那条亮得大概能从月球上看到的银色裙子，确实能给我带来欢乐。由over the years可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主语My wardrobe是单数，因此空格处是has become。故填has become。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：多年来，我的衣柜变得越来越色彩斑斓，而且，母亲说得对：穿上那双金光闪闪的粉色鞋子，还有那条亮得大概能从月球上看到的银色裙子，确实能给我带来欢乐。空格处用副词probably修饰动词be spotted，probably意为“可能”。故填probably。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：穿上鲜艳的颜色会让我感到无比幸福，每当这时，我就感觉自己仿佛在大声呼喊：“看啊，是我，是我，就是我！”空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词colours，shine的形容词是shiny/shining，意为“发光的”。故填shiny/shining。 按照课文原文填空。 46. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about ________ makes the universe exist. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】what 【解析】 【详解】句意：试着理解你所看到的一切，并思考是什么让宇宙得以存在。引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语，指物，故用what。 47. Exploring space helps address ________ (foundation) questions about our place in the universe and the history of our solar system. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】fundamental 【解析】 【详解】句意：探索太空有助于解决关于我们在宇宙中的位置以及太阳系历史的基本问题。空处用于名词questions之前，应用形容词fundamental作定语，表示“基本的，根本的”。 48. The final proof came when an enormous shipyard was discovered in Nanjing, where the fleet ________ (build). (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】had been built 【解析】 【详解】句意：当在南京发现一个巨大的造船厂时，最终的证据出现了，这支舰队就是在那里建造的。空处为where引导的定语从句的谓语，主语the fleet与动词build之间为被动关系，应用被动语态；结合was discovered可知，“舰队被建造”发生在“被发现”之前，即“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时的被动语态，即had been built。 49. Those who make great discoveries must often overcome many challenges along the way—________ was the case with the explorer Christopher Columbus. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】as 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：那些做出伟大发现的人，往往会在发现的过程中克服许多挑战——就像探险家克里斯托弗·哥伦布一样。由“was the case with”可知，空格处是固定句型as is/was the case with sb.，意为“就像某人的情况一样”，因此空格处是as，意为“正如”，故填as。 50. Its location is marked with a memorial shaped like a bridge, which crosses the ship’s ________ (sink) remains. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】sunken 【解析】 【详解】句意：它的位置由一座形状像桥的纪念碑标记，这座桥横跨在沉船的遗骸之上。空处位于名词remains之前，应用形容词sunken作定语，表示“沉没的，沉入水底的”。 第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 51. 你校英文报正在开展以“Space Exploration”为主题的征文活动。宇宙探索是一项将深刻影响人类未来生活与发展的重要事业。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： (1)谈谈人们对宇宙探索的不同态度； (2)说明你对这项事业的理解与理由。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Space Exploration: Meaningful or Not? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Space Exploration: Meaningful or Not?

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly. To cover the cost of cat food and shelter materials, we decided to raise a small fund by asking willing residents to donate a little money each month. Many neighbors showed support, and some even signed up to be volunteers immediately. We divided the responsibilities clearly, ensuring every task was taken care of. After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. The shelter provided a safe home for the cats, and volunteers fed them on time without leaving any leftover food. The cooperation between animal lovers and other residents eliminated the conflict completely. No more flies gathered around the gate, and the cats no longer wandered into yards randomly. Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved. It turned out that every problem could be solved with kindness and joint efforts. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名喜爱动物的高中生，长期喂养小区里的流浪猫，后来越来越多邻居参与投喂，导致环境变差、邻里矛盾激化，大家对流浪猫的态度两极分化。在小区管理员的启发下，作者决定提出一个兼顾流浪猫和邻居利益的解决方案，希望化解冲突、救助流浪猫。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“李女士称赞了我的计划，并同意帮我付诸实践。”可知，第一段可描写实践的具体内容以及邻居们的支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过两周的共同努力，社区焕然一新。”可知，第二段可描写小窝为社区生活带来的变化以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：开会阐述想法——邻居表示支持——小窝带来积极影响——作者感到自豪——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②捐赠：donate/give away ③展示：show/display ④照顾：take care of/attend to 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②对……感到自豪：feel proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved.（运用了现在分词短语Seeing…作状语，what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
