Home to various species, they protect and support countless coastal communities worldwide. Yet they continue to face threats from both human activities and natural processes. The report, The State of the World’s Mangroves 2024, examines global changes in mangrove ecosystems over the past two decades. Agricultural activities, including aquaculture (水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. The report also highlights the impact of “natural retraction,” a term used to describe mangrove loss driven by changes in riverbeds or sea levels. The global drivers of mangrove loss Nonetheless, changes in the drivers of mangrove loss have led to encouraging results. The rate of net mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km2 per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km2 per year in 2010 — 2020. Mangrove gains are also recorded in several regions, where restoration efforts accounted for 25% — 33% of mangrove expansion in South and Southeast Asia and Africa. Protecting mangroves requires action at every level. Governments can expand protected areas and improve monitoring systems, while conservation project teams restore damaged wetlands. Scientists develop real-time monitoring tools to detect mangrove loss. The report also stresses the importance of cooperation with local communities. In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects. 1. What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020? A. 38%. B. 47%. C. 49%. D. 62%. 2. What can we learn about mangrove loss between the two decades? A. It worsened climate change. B. It damaged local economy. C. It expanded on a global scale. D. It showed a downward trend. 3. What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration? A. Make restoration plans. B. Share ecological information. C. Establish protected areas. D. Update monitoring equipment. B In the summer of 2019, I accompanied my 75-year-old partner Alex to a memory disorders clinic. After failing a series of mental tests, Alex was diagnosed with dementia (痴呆). The nurse advised Alex to sort out his finances and told me, “You’ll simply have to do more.” Indeed, my life became filled with endless care tasks — zipping Alex’s jacket, helping him shower, and making all decisions for him. When I tried to search a Medicaid program for help, I hit one difficulty after another. One program offered only one day of assistance per week. The other, which offered three days of help, insisted that Alex could never be outside alone, a condition I refused to accept. I can’t decide which one to pick. I emailed my physician friend Rachel for advice, and her response was this: “It sounds like you’re living in the land of bad choices.” Reading it, I felt as if my brain had been rearranged, to allow me to see the situation in a different way. Instead of chasing the “best” option, I only needed to pick the “least bad” one, which made decision-making easier. I picked the three day care program. But Alex soon fell seriously ill and couldn’t care for himself; he was sent to a recovery facility an hour away — this farther one with trained staff was the better bad choice. A COVID outbreak followed, infecting Alex; the facility couldn’t treat him, and I had only 15 minutes to decide whether to send him to the hospital. I chose quickly. I was with him when he died there the next afternoon. Three years later, when talking to those caring for dementia patients, I never tell them to “do more”. Instead, I pass on Rachel’s words. This shift in perspective, though simple, is truly helpful for anyone stuck in the land of bad choices. 4. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. More mental tests would be needed. B. Alex would need full attention. C. Further treatment would be refused to offer. D. Medicaid program should be sought. 5. What do we know about the Medicaid programs? A. They had trained staff. B. They had strict requirements. C. They were not fully satisfying. D. They provided sufficient help. 6. How did the author probably feel after reading Rachel’s email? A. Stressed. B. Relieved. C. Confused. D. Delighted. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. The least bad may be the best. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Out of the frying pan into the fire. C Many people believe that confidence comes from ability. In other words, if someone speaks with certainty, they must know what they are talking about. However, psychological research suggests that the opposite can also be true: individuals with limited ability may display surprisingly high levels of confidence while remaining largely unaware of their limitations. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. People with this cognitive (认知的) bias tend to believe they are far more capable than they really are. Because they know little about a subject, they often mistake their limited understanding for real competence and remain unaware of how much they do not know. This idea was first examined by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. In a series of experiments, participants were asked to complete tests involving grammar, logical reasoning, and humor. After finishing the tasks, they were asked to estimate how well they had performed. To the researchers’ surprise, participants who scored in the lowest group consistently rated their performance much higher than it actually was. For example, those in the bottom 12% often believed they had performed above average. In contrast, participants who achieved high scores tended to underestimate their performance. According to researchers, this pattern can be explained by a “dual burden.” The skills needed to perform a task well are also required to judge one’s own performance. When people lack these skills, they not only make more mistakes but also fail to assess their performance accurately. The Dunning-Kruger effect has important real-world consequences, as it discourages individuals from seeking feedback or further study. To overcome this, one must understand that true confidence is built on accurate self-awareness. It is developed through continuous learning, actively seeking constructive criticism, and, most crucially, by grounding self-assessment in measurable standards, such as test scores, recorded progress, or expert feedback, rather than merely relying on subjective feelings. This practice not only clarifies what one knows but also sharpens one’s ability to judge that knowledge. 8. According to paragraph 3, participants who scored lowest on the tests ________. A. overestimated their performance B. took more time to finish the tests C. doubted the reliability of the results D. focused more on others’ performance 9. Why does the author mention the term “dual burden”? A. To explain the underlying cause of overconfidence. B. To introduce a new method for psychological testing. C. To contrast the different burdens faced by participants. D. To emphasize the difficulty of performing complex tasks. 10. What does developing true confidence involve? A. Intense competition and high ambition. B. Powerful inspiration and active learning. C. Critical thinking and self-encouragement. D. Objective evaluation and honest reflection. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. When Cognitive Bias Clouds Thinking B. Why Self-Awareness Can Shape Ability C. When Confidence Outruns Competence D. Why Overconfidence Can Be a Good Thing D Time is something we feel every day — rushing to school, glancing at watches, counting down minutes. Yet, surprisingly, modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all. Einstein’s theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime, where past, present, and future coexist like pages in a book. Quantum mechanics (量子力学) does not naturally treat time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. So where does time’s flow come from? A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). They envisioned the universe as a timeless quantum state. When one part acts as a “clock” and becomes entangled with the rest, time seems to emerge — just like page numbers help us read a story in order. Experimental support is accumulating. In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement. But what could serve as the universe’s real clock? Italian physicist Paola Verrucci points to black holes. They are isolated, highly energetic, and — thanks to Hawking radiation — can entangle with the outside world. “It’s a perfect clock,” she says. “You can’t touch it, but you can be linked to it.” More strikingly, Verrucci argues time’s direction may come from quantum measurement. Each time we observe reality, possibilities collapse into facts — a one-way process. “You create time,” she says, “when you ask what time it is.” This view transforms our role from passive witnesses of time to active participants. Time may not be a pre-existing river carrying us, but a story we co-write through our interactions with a quantum universe. 12. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. The theory of relativity views time as independent of space. B. Modern physics can explain why time moves forward easily. C. Quantum mechanics specially focuses on the study of time. D. Our understanding of time varies from physics perspectives. 13. Why did the scientists create the model? A. To explain the quantum entanglement. B. To support a timeless quantum state. C. To show how time comes from entanglement. D. To confirm time exists in a static universe. 14. Which viewpoint might Verrucci agree with? A. Hawking radiation generated time. B. There is no ideal clock in universe. C. Observing time helps to create time. D. Time existed as a river before humans. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To present the history of quantum mechanics. B. To explore the origin of time from quantum links. C. To compare a couple of known spacetime theories. D. To illustrate technology of quantum entanglement. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 From Page to Screen The charm of bringing a classic book to the screen lies in the opportunity to reach a wider audience and visualize the characters and the story. ____16____ It demands both respect for the original and courage to reimagine. One of the most significant challenges is adapting the often long and complicated narrative of a novel into the limited runtime of a movie. Novels allow readers to immerse themselves in the story over hundreds of pages, exploring intricate subplots, character developments, and detailed settings. In contrast, a film typically has just two to three hours to convey the essence of the story. ____17____ Namely, they have to decide what to include and what to leave out. Reproducing an author’s distinctive tone and literary style is challenging as well. Capturing them on film requires a deep understanding of the source material and a creative approach to visual storytelling. ____18____ For example, the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility directed by Ang Lee captured Jane Austen’s subtle humor and social comment through its careful attention to period details, character interactions, and the pace of dialogue, making it one of the most beloved adaptations of her novels. Another challenge is portraying beloved characters that have lived in the imaginations of readers for generations. These characters are often vividly described in the novels, and readers develop strong attachments to their own interpretations. ____19____ Yet, a well-cast actor can make the characters come alive. Therefore, filmmakers must consider not only physical resemblance but also the ability to convey the characters’ complexities and inner struggles when casting. In the end, the art of adaptation lies in striking the right balance between faithfulness and innovation. ____20____ A. Great adaptations achieve this masterfully. B. It requires filmmakers to make tough choices. C. However, this journey is full of potential difficulties. D. The mental images can be difficult to match on screen. E. Filmmakers focus on such details to present a novel’s plot. F. Only in this way can we honor the past and speak to the present. G. Casting is the bridge between a reader’s imagination and the screen. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was born in a rural town.

The cornfields, once symbols of all I longed to escape, became spaces for reflection, progress, and finally ____31____. Admittedly, I feared being labeled as a “failure” at the city life, yet no such ____32____ came — only quiet understanding, or, ____33____, you could say. This homecoming, ____34____, was not just a return, but a(n) ____35____ of the soul, empowering me to stay rooted and carve out a new life on my own land. 21. A. stable B. addictive C. rigid D. confusing 22. A. ashamed B. puzzled C. thrilled D. choked 23. A. celebrated B. displayed C. explained D. ruined 24. A. sat around B. showed off C. took flight D. gained ground 25. A. conventional B. fascinating C. complicated D. tolerable 26. A. recover B. enjoy C. advertise D. witness 27.

Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation. That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair. Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble. At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 株洲市二中2026年上学期高二年级月考 英语试题 时量：120分钟 分值：150分 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。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．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 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.

(红树林净减少率下降了44%，从2000-2010年的每年181.5平方公里降至2010-2020年的每年102.4平方公里。)”可知，红树林减少速率呈现明显下降趋势。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects. (在一些项目中，社区成员通过描述红树林的历史分布、减少原因和他们观察到的季节性海岸变化来贡献知识，还通过公民科学平台如iNaturalist提供数据，帮助研究人员制定更有效的修复计划。)”可知，当地社区成员可通过分享生态相关信息与数据来支持红树林修复工作。 B In the summer of 2019, I accompanied my 75-year-old partner Alex to a memory disorders clinic. After failing a series of mental tests, Alex was diagnosed with dementia (痴呆). The nurse advised Alex to sort out his finances and told me, “You’ll simply have to do more.” Indeed, my life became filled with endless care tasks — zipping Alex’s jacket, helping him shower, and making all decisions for him. When I tried to search a Medicaid program for help, I hit one difficulty after another. One program offered only one day of assistance per week. The other, which offered three days of help, insisted that Alex could never be outside alone, a condition I refused to accept. I can’t decide which one to pick. I emailed my physician friend Rachel for advice, and her response was this: “It sounds like you’re living in the land of bad choices.” Reading it, I felt as if my brain had been rearranged, to allow me to see the situation in a different way. Instead of chasing the “best” option, I only needed to pick the “least bad” one, which made decision-making easier. I picked the three day care program. But Alex soon fell seriously ill and couldn’t care for himself; he was sent to a recovery facility an hour away — this farther one with trained staff was the better bad choice. A COVID outbreak followed, infecting Alex; the facility couldn’t treat him, and I had only 15 minutes to decide whether to send him to the hospital. I chose quickly. I was with him when he died there the next afternoon. Three years later, when talking to those caring for dementia patients, I never tell them to “do more”. Instead, I pass on Rachel’s words. This shift in perspective, though simple, is truly helpful for anyone stuck in the land of bad choices. 4. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. More mental tests would be needed. B. Alex would need full attention. C. Further treatment would be refused to offer. D. Medicaid program should be sought. 5. What do we know about the Medicaid programs? A. They had trained staff. B. They had strict requirements. C. They were not fully satisfying. D. They provided sufficient help. 6. How did the author probably feel after reading Rachel’s email? A. Stressed. B. Relieved. C. Confused. D. Delighted. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. The least bad may be the best. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Out of the frying pan into the fire. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在照顾患有痴呆症的伴侣过程中，面对各种艰难选择，最终从朋友“身处糟糕选择之地”的劝告中获得启发，学会接受“最不坏”选项的人生感悟。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The nurse advised Alex to sort out his finances and told me, “You’ll simply have to do more.” (护士建议亚历克斯整理他的财务，并告诉我：“你必须做得更多。”)”以及第二段中“Indeed, my life became filled with endless care tasks — zipping Alex’s jacket, helping him shower, and making all decisions for him. (确实，我的生活充满了无尽的护理任务——给亚历克斯拉上夹克拉链，帮他洗澡，为他做所有的决定)”可知，护士说“你必须做更多”的意思是Alex需要全方位的关注和照顾，作者要做更多的事来照顾他。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When I tried to search a Medicaid program for help, I hit one difficulty after another. One program offered only one day of assistance per week. The other, which offered three days of help, insisted that Alex could never be outside alone, a condition I refused to accept. (当我试图寻找一个医疗补助计划寻求帮助时，我遇到了一个又一个困难。一个项目每周只提供一天的帮助。另一个提供三天帮助的项目则坚持亚历克斯绝不能独自外出，这个条件我拒绝接受)”可知，这两个项目都不完全令人满意。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Reading it, I felt as if my brain had been rearranged, to allow me to see the situation in a different way. Instead of chasing the “best” option, I only needed to pick the “least bad” one, which made decision-making easier. (读到它，我感觉自己的大脑仿佛被重新排列，让我能够以不同的方式看待情况。我不再追求“最好”的选项，只需要选择“最不坏”的那个，这让决策变得更容易了)”可知，作者在读了瑞秋的邮件后，感觉轻松了，因为做决定不再那么困难。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Instead of chasing the “best” option, I only needed to pick the “least bad” one, which made decision-making easier. (我不再追求“最好”的选项，只需要选择 “最不坏”的那个，这让决策变得更容易了)”以及最后一段中“This shift in perspective, though simple, is truly helpful for anyone stuck in the land of bad choices. (这种视角的转变，虽然简单，但对任何陷入糟糕选择之地的人确实有帮助)”可知，本文主要传达的道理是，当没有好的选择时，“最不坏”的那个可能就是最好的选择。故选B项。 C Many people believe that confidence comes from ability. In other words, if someone speaks with certainty, they must know what they are talking about. However, psychological research suggests that the opposite can also be true: individuals with limited ability may display surprisingly high levels of confidence while remaining largely unaware of their limitations. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. People with this cognitive (认知的) bias tend to believe they are far more capable than they really are. Because they know little about a subject, they often mistake their limited understanding for real competence and remain unaware of how much they do not know. This idea was first examined by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. In a series of experiments, participants were asked to complete tests involving grammar, logical reasoning, and humor. After finishing the tasks, they were asked to estimate how well they had performed. To the researchers’ surprise, participants who scored in the lowest group consistently rated their performance much higher than it actually was. For example, those in the bottom 12% often believed they had performed above average. In contrast, participants who achieved high scores tended to underestimate their performance. According to researchers, this pattern can be explained by a “dual burden.” The skills needed to perform a task well are also required to judge one’s own performance. When people lack these skills, they not only make more mistakes but also fail to assess their performance accurately. The Dunning-Kruger effect has important real-world consequences, as it discourages individuals from seeking feedback or further study. To overcome this, one must understand that true confidence is built on accurate self-awareness. It is developed through continuous learning, actively seeking constructive criticism, and, most crucially, by grounding self-assessment in measurable standards, such as test scores, recorded progress, or expert feedback, rather than merely relying on subjective feelings. This practice not only clarifies what one knows but also sharpens one’s ability to judge that knowledge. 8. According to paragraph 3, participants who scored lowest on the tests ________. A. overestimated their performance B. took more time to finish the tests C. doubted the reliability of the results D. focused more on others’ performance 9. Why does the author mention the term “dual burden”? A. To explain the underlying cause of overconfidence. B. To introduce a new method for psychological testing. C. To contrast the different burdens faced by participants. D. To emphasize the difficulty of performing complex tasks. 10. What does developing true confidence involve? A. Intense competition and high ambition. B. Powerful inspiration and active learning. C. Critical thinking and self-encouragement. D. Objective evaluation and honest reflection. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. When Cognitive Bias Clouds Thinking B. Why Self-Awareness Can Shape Ability C. When Confidence Outruns Competence D. Why Overconfidence Can Be a Good Thing 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了邓宁-克鲁格效应，阐释能力不足者往往盲目高估自己、能力强者易低估自己的现象，分析其成因、现实影响，并说明培养真正自信的途径。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To the researchers’ surprise, participants who scored in the lowest group consistently rated their performance much higher than it actually was.(令研究人员惊讶的是，得分最低的参与者总是高估自己的实际表现。)”可知，测试得分最低的参与者会高估自身表现。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“According to researchers, this pattern can be explained by a “dual burden.” The skills needed to perform a task well are also required to judge one’s own performance. When people lack these skills, they not only make more mistakes but also fail to assess their performance accurately.(研究人员称，这种模式（能力不足者高估自身表现的）可以用“双重负担”来解释。)”可知，作者提到“双重负担”是为了解释过度自信的潜在原因。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“To overcome this, one must understand that true confidence is built on accurate self-awareness. It is developed through continuous learning, actively seeking constructive criticism, and, most crucially, by grounding self-assessment in measurable standards, such as test scores, recorded progress, or expert feedback, rather than merely relying on subjective feelings.(为了克服这一点，人们必须明白真正的自信是建立在准确的自我认知之上的。它是通过不断学习、积极寻求建设性批评，最重要的是，通过将自我评估建立在可衡量的标准上，如考试成绩、记录的进步或专家反馈，而不是仅仅依赖主观感受而发展起来的。)”可知，培养真正的自信需要客观评判与如实反思。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many people believe that confidence comes from ability. In other words, if someone speaks with certainty, they must know what they are talking about. However, psychological research suggests that the opposite can also be true: individuals with limited ability may display surprisingly high levels of confidence while remaining largely unaware of their limitations. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.(许多人认为自信源于能力。换句话说，如果一个人说话很肯定，那么他们一定知道自己在说什么。然而，心理学研究表明，情况也可能恰恰相反：能力有限的人可能表现出惊人的自信，同时却未意识到自身局限。这种现象被称为邓宁-克鲁格效应。)”以及结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了邓宁-克鲁格效应，即能力有限的人可能表现出极高的自信，同时却未意识到自身局限，C项“当自信超过能力时”符合文章主旨，可以作为最佳标题。 D Time is something we feel every day — rushing to school, glancing at watches, counting down minutes. Yet, surprisingly, modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all. Einstein’s theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime, where past, present, and future coexist like pages in a book. Quantum mechanics (量子力学) does not naturally treat time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. So where does time’s flow come from? A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). They envisioned the universe as a timeless quantum state. When one part acts as a “clock” and becomes entangled with the rest, time seems to emerge — just like page numbers help us read a story in order. Experimental support is accumulating. In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement. But what could serve as the universe’s real clock? Italian physicist Paola Verrucci points to black holes. They are isolated, highly energetic, and — thanks to Hawking radiation — can entangle with the outside world. “It’s a perfect clock,” she says. “You can’t touch it, but you can be linked to it.” More strikingly, Verrucci argues time’s direction may come from quantum measurement. Each time we observe reality, possibilities collapse into facts — a one-way process. “You create time,” she says, “when you ask what time it is.” This view transforms our role from passive witnesses of time to active participants. Time may not be a pre-existing river carrying us, but a story we co-write through our interactions with a quantum universe. 12. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. The theory of relativity views time as independent of space. B. Modern physics can explain why time moves forward easily. C. Quantum mechanics specially focuses on the study of time. D. Our understanding of time varies from physics perspectives. 13. Why did the scientists create the model? A. To explain the quantum entanglement. B. To support a timeless quantum state. C. To show how time comes from entanglement. D. To confirm time exists in a static universe. 14. Which viewpoint might Verrucci agree with? A. Hawking radiation generated time. B. There is no ideal clock in universe. C. Observing time helps to create time. D. Time existed as a river before humans. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To present the history of quantum mechanics. B. To explore the origin of time from quantum links. C. To compare a couple of known spacetime theories. D. To illustrate technology of quantum entanglement. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从量子角度探讨时间的产生与方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet, surprisingly, modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all. Einstein’s theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime, where past, present, and future coexist like pages in a book. Quantum mechanics does not naturally treats time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. (然而，令人惊讶的是，现代物理学很难解释为什么时间会向前移动。爱因斯坦的相对论将时间描述为固定的四维时空的一部分，过去、现在和未来像书中的页面一样共存。量子力学并不自然地把时间视为特殊的——许多过程也可以逆向运行。)”可知，我们对时间的理解因物理学角度不同而有差异。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement. (在2024年的一项研究中，科学家们使用纠缠的量子磁体和弹簧创建了一个模型。整个系统是静态的，然而，相对于时钟，弹簧的状态随时间而变化，这展示了时间是如何从纠缠中产生的。)”可知，科学家创建这个模型是为了展示时间是如何从纠缠中产生的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“More strikingly, Verrucci argues time’s direction may come from quantum measurement. Each time we observe reality, possibilities collapse into facts — a one-way process. ‘You create time,’ she says, ‘when you ask what time it is.’ (更引人注目的是，Verrucci认为时间的方向可能来自量子测量。每次我们观察现实时，可能性都会坍缩成事实——这是一个单向的过程。‘当你问现在几点时，你就在创造时间，’她说。)”可知，Verrucci认为观察时间有助于创造时间。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). (1983年，科学家Page和Wootters提出了一个开创性的观点。他们提出，时间是由量子纠缠产生的幻觉。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要探讨了时间是如何从量子纠缠中产生的，因此文章的主要目的是从量子联系的角度探索时间的起源。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 From Page to Screen The charm of bringing a classic book to the screen lies in the opportunity to reach a wider audience and visualize the characters and the story. ____16____ It demands both respect for the original and courage to reimagine. One of the most significant challenges is adapting the often long and complicated narrative of a novel into the limited runtime of a movie. Novels allow readers to immerse themselves in the story over hundreds of pages, exploring intricate subplots, character developments, and detailed settings. In contrast, a film typically has just two to three hours to convey the essence of the story. ____17____ Namely, they have to decide what to include and what to leave out. Reproducing an author’s distinctive tone and literary style is challenging as well. Capturing them on film requires a deep understanding of the source material and a creative approach to visual storytelling. ____18____ For example, the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility directed by Ang Lee captured Jane Austen’s subtle humor and social comment through its careful attention to period details, character interactions, and the pace of dialogue, making it one of the most beloved adaptations of her novels. Another challenge is portraying beloved characters that have lived in the imaginations of readers for generations. These characters are often vividly described in the novels, and readers develop strong attachments to their own interpretations. ____19____ Yet, a well-cast actor can make the characters come alive. Therefore, filmmakers must consider not only physical resemblance but also the ability to convey the characters’ complexities and inner struggles when casting. In the end, the art of adaptation lies in striking the right balance between faithfulness and innovation. ____20____ A. Great adaptations achieve this masterfully. B. It requires filmmakers to make tough choices. C. However, this journey is full of potential difficulties. D. The mental images can be difficult to match on screen. E. Filmmakers focus on such details to present a novel’s plot. F. Only in this way can we honor the past and speak to the present. G. Casting is the bridge between a reader’s imagination and the screen. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. D 20.

It refers to finding like-minded partners for specific activities, such as studying, dining, or traveling, without forming deep friendships. This trend has both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, it offers flexibility and convenience, allowing people to share interests without emotional burden. However, it may also reduce meaningful connections, as relationships remain shallow and functional. In my view, while buddy culture satisfies temporary needs, we should not neglect the value of genuine friendships. I suggest we embrace this trend wisely, using it as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, deeper relationships. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就学校英文报Campus Voice新开设的“Social Trends”专栏，以主题My Views on Buddy Culture写一篇短文投稿，描述现象，分析影响，并提出看法与建议。 【详解】1. 词汇积累： 形成：form→take shape 减少：reduce→decrease 建议：suggest→recommend 替代：replacement→substitute 2. 句式拓展： 简单句变复合句 原句：On the positive side, it offers flexibility and convenience, allowing people to share interests without emotional burden. 拓展句：On the positive side, it offers flexibility and convenience, which allows people to share interests without emotional burden. 【点睛】【高分句型1】In my view, while buddy culture satisfies temporary needs, we should not neglect the value of genuine friendships.

Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation. That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair. Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble. At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. He held out a crumpled piece of paper, his hands trembling, and said he had stayed up all night trying to redraw her painting as best as he could. The landscape was not as vibrant as the original, but every stroke was full of regret and sincerity. He kept apologizing, saying he knew nothing could make up for her lost work, but he hoped this small effort could show how sorry he was. Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. She took the painting gently, touching the rough brushstrokes, and realized she had been too stubborn to see his regret. She hugged Ethan tightly, saying she was also sorry for shouting at him. They promised to never let a small mistake ruin their precious friendship, and Sophia decided to redo the painting with Ethan’s help, turning the regret into a beautiful memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Sophia和Ethan的友谊为线索展开，讲述了热爱绘画的Sophia为艺术比赛精心准备的画作，被热心帮忙的同桌Ethan意外损坏，两人发生争执、关系破裂，Sophia既伤心又后悔，而Ethan心怀愧疚，试图弥补的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Ethan 为弥补过错所做的努力，展示自己模仿的Sophia的画作，并作出真诚道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容 可知，第二段可描写 Sophia放下骄傲，接受道歉，两人和解，重拾友谊。 2.续写线索：Ethan呈现自己的仿作 —— Ethan真诚道歉 —— Sophia看到诚意 ——Sophia认真看着Ethan的仿作 —— 两人和解 —— 重拾友谊，共绘画作 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿出：hold out / take out / fetch out ②努力做某事：try to do sth / make one’s effort to do sth / take pains to do sth/ work hard at ③道歉：apologize / say sorry / express his sincere remorse 情绪类 ①温柔地/轻轻地：gently / tenderly / delicately ②珍贵的：precious / cherished / treasured 【点睛】[高分句型 1].
