2026年高二第二学期 第一次月考方案 高二英语试题卷 有关说明：（考试时长120分钟，试卷分值120分） 第二部分 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The National Gallery has launched a new exhibition called Art on Your Doorstep, taking life-sized versions of some masterpieces to communities around the UK. This project works with organisations across the UK to help share masterpieces from the nation’s collection with communities beyond Trafalgar Square. It will be reaching all four nations of the UK, travelling to a total of 12 partners. The National Gallery offers up to 30 printed reproductions of masterpieces from its collection each time. The first exhibition started in Stoke-on-Trent on 4 June 2025. Fifteen printed masterpieces were installed in an outdoor exhibition in Bethesda Gardens, opposite The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, as part of the city’s Centenary celebrations. Right now the free outdoor exhibition is running in Croydon, London. In each location, the local community has helped choose the paintings to be displayed. Croydon’s exhibition features 30 paintings. Caterina Loriggio, who works on cultural events in Croydon, said that they ran workshops with residents to choose the artworks. The workshops asked questions such as “Which painting reminds you of Croydon?”, and residents chose from different paintings for their answer. Loriggio said, “What was interesting was how many people chose the same things.” Every year, the National Gallery partners with organisations and audiences across the UK in a range of different and innovative ways. They want to ensure that everyone in the UK can engage with their national collection. Over the past years they have partnered with a number of organisations through a range of projects including their flagship Masterpiece Tour, contemporary Artist-in-Residence programme, National Treasures, Visits tour and Take One Picture programme. 1. Why did The National Gallery start the project? A. To inspire innovation. B. To seek potential partners. C. To build community pride. D. To popularize its collection. 2. How were the paintings for Croydon selected? A. By the painters. B. Through online voting. C. By art professionals. D. Through local workshops. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A museum newsletter. B. A travel handbook. C. An art research paper. D. A community notice. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了英国国家美术馆发起的名为“家门口的艺术”的新展览项目，该项目将名画等比复制品带到英国各地社区，文中介绍了项目的开展情况、选画方式以及创办目的。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“This project works with organisations across the UK to help share masterpieces from the nation’s collection with communities beyond Trafalgar Square.(该项目与英国各地机构合作，帮助将国家馆藏的名画分享给特拉法加广场之外的社区)”和第四段中的“They want to ensure that everyone in the UK can engage with their national collection.(他们希望确保英国所有人都能接触到国家馆藏)”可知，项目发起的目的是推广国家美术馆的馆藏艺术品。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Caterina Loriggio, who works on cultural events in Croydon, said that they ran workshops with residents to choose the artworks.(克罗伊登文化项目负责人卡特里娜·洛里吉奥称，他们和当地居民一起开办了工作坊来挑选艺术品)”可知，克罗伊登展览的画作是通过当地工作坊选出的。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。本文围绕英国国家美术馆推出的全新公众艺术项目展开介绍，是面向公众的项目宣传内容。本文主体是国家美术馆的项目，因此最可能出自博物馆通讯。 B Every December, my house turns into the Island of Misfit Treats. People are very kind, and I am very grateful, but there are only so many candied nuts and sugar cookies one human family can consume without consequences. So each year, I do what any health-conscious adult would do: I rearrange them. I wrap the treats with a bow, include a personalized note, and give them to a co-worker or a neighbor in a totally different zone of the neighborhood ecosystem, so no one will find out about the regifting thing. And yet… I always feel guilty. And this made me wonder: Is regifting actually rude? Or is it the most practical tradition since the invention of the gift bag? Let us not forget my wedding-regift story. On our Very Special Day, we received what appeared to be a very fancy, very expensive electric teakettle. The problem? My husband and I don’t drink tea. And for two months, I set it aside until an inspiration hit when my grandmother’s birthday rolled around. She loved fancy household items. And she loved it! Honestly, it was probably the most on-brand gift I ever gave her. You see, regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new, unused and suited to someone else’s actual preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet-friendly form. You just have to follow two rules. First, you should not regift within the same friend/neighbor ecosystem. Second, you should match the gift to the person. Don’t give kitchen tools to someone who considers the microwave “cooking”. Don’t give a gym membership card to someone who never breaks a sweat. Go ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts. And it’s definitely better than throwing them in the trash. 4. What does the author do with the candied nuts and sugar cookies each December? A. She puts them aside. B. She throws them away. C. She gives them to other people. D. She returns them to the givers. 5. Why does the author mention the electric teakettle story? A. To express regret for giving away her gift. B. To complain about receiving an unwanted gift. C. To show that regifting can work out perfectly well. D. To prove that expensive gifts are very suitable for regifting. 6. What does the underlined word “breaks a sweat” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Hangs out. B. Works out. C. Breaks down. D. Settles down. 7. What is the message the author wants to convey? A. Every dog has its day. B. One good turn deserves another. C. Rob Peter to pay Paul. D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章结合作者自身收到多余节日礼物的经历，围绕转赠礼物是否合理展开讨论，提出只要遵守规则，把不需要但合适的礼物转赠他人是比浪费更好的选择。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“So each year, I do what any health-conscious adult would do: I rearrange them. I wrap the treats with a bow, include a personalized note, and give them to a co-worker or a neighbor in a totally different zone of the neighborhood ecosystem, so no one will find out about the regifting thing. (所以每年，我都会做任何一个有健康意识的成年人会做的事：我重新打包这些点心，给它们系上蝴蝶结，附上私人字条，把它们送给住在社区完全不同区域的同事或邻居，这样就没有人会发现转赠礼物这件事。)”可知，作者每年会把吃不完的蜜渍坚果和糖饼干送给其他人。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“On our Very Special Day, we received what appeared to be a very fancy, very expensive electric teakettle. The problem? My husband and I don’t drink tea. And for two months, I set it aside until an inspiration hit when my grandmother’s birthday rolled around. She loved fancy household items. And she loved it! Honestly, it was probably the most on-brand gift I ever gave her. (在我们大喜之日，我们收到了一个看起来精致贵重的电烧水壶。可问题是，我和丈夫都不喝茶。这台水壶被我放了两个月，直到奶奶生日将近，我忽然有了主意。奶奶一向喜欢精致家居用品，收到水壶后爱不释手！说实话，那大概是我送过最合她心意的礼物。)”及第五段中“You see, regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new, unused and suited to someone else’s actual preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet-friendly form. (你看，转赠礼物并不是无礼的。考虑不周才是无礼，浪费才是无礼。把一件全新、未使用，且符合对方实际喜好的礼物送出，是最实用、最环保的慷慨。)”可知，作者讲述转赠电水壶的故事是为了说明转赠礼物可以十分合适、效果很好。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第六段中“Don’t give kitchen tools to someone who considers the microwave ‘cooking’. Don’t give a gym membership card to someone who never breaks a sweat. (不要把厨房用具送给一个认为微波炉就算‘做饭’的人。也别把健身卡送给从不breaks a sweat的人。)”可知，前句提到不要把厨具送给不用厨具做饭的人，前后句并列举例，健身卡对应有健身锻炼习惯的人，由此可推知，后句指“别把健身卡送给从不锻炼的人”，因此breaks a sweat指“运动、锻炼”。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Go ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts. And it’s definitely better than throwing them in the trash. (放心大胆、明智坦然地转赠礼物吧。毕竟总有人会真心喜欢那些蜜渍坚果，这总好过直接丢进垃圾桶。)”并通读全文可知，作者的核心观点是：对自己来说用不上的礼物，不必浪费扔掉，找到适合的人转赠出去就能发挥价值，符合谚语“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. (甲之糟粕，乙之珍宝。)”。 C Most of us have some “gut feelings” that we can't explain. For example, when we hunt for a new house, we might suddenly like it a lot or dislike it right away. Or when we meet new people, we make instant judgements on them without careful thought. Research done by Leeds University shows that these feelings, or intuitions, are real and we should take them seriously. According to the research, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and obtain information on a subconscious (潜意识的) level, and so is a real psychological phenomenon that needs further study to help us unlock its potential. There are many cases where intuition prevented major disasters, and cases of remarkable recoveries when doctors followed their gut feelings. Yet, science has historically questioned the concept of intuition, labelling it as “anti-scientific”. Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, researchers have concluded that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and external cues to decide — but one that happens so fast that the reaction is on a non-conscious level. All we're aware of is a general feeling that something is right or wrong. Researchers believe that people usually experience true intuition when they are under severe time pressure or in a situation of information overload or acute danger, where conscious analysis of the situation may be difficult or impossible. They cite a Formula One driver, who once braked suddenly before a sharp U-turn without knowing why. This automatic reaction saved him from crashing into a pile of cars ahead, likely preventing a fatal accident. Though he couldn’t explain his urge to stop, it overrode his competitive drive to win. After psychologists showed the driver a video replay, he realized at that very moment the crowd wasn't cheering as usual — they stood frozen, staring in the opposite direction as he approached the U-turn. That was the cue. He didn't consciously process this, but he knew something was wrong and stopped in time. Researchers believe that all intuitive experiences are based on the automatic evaluation of such internal and external cues. They say that we clearly need both conscious and non-conscious thought processes, but neither is superior to the other. 8. What does the research from Leeds University indicate? A. Gut feelings are not reliable in daily life. B. People ought to trust their intuitive feelings. C. Intuition is just a random psychological response. D. Intuitive responses often lead to wrong decisions. 9. According to Paragraph 3, what can we infer about intuition? A. Intuition involves subconscious processing of external cues. B. Intuition only works in life-threatening situations. C. Intuition relies on conscious analysis of visible dangers. D. Intuition is a random guess with no logical basis. 10. Which of the following real-life situations best illustrates the application of intuition? A. A shopper picks a product simply because its package looks attractive. B. A student solves math problems by strictly following formulas and logical reasoning. C. A firefighter suddenly reroutes a rescue mission after sensing some hidden risks. D. A student quickly guesses random answers without consideration during a timed quiz. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A. To describe how brains process external cues. B. To explain the scientific basis and value of intuition. C. To compare conscious and subconscious thinking. D. To criticize the overuse of intuition in daily life. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍利兹大学的研究证实直觉真实存在且值得重视，阐释了直觉是大脑潜意识处理过往经验与外界线索的产物，列举赛车手依靠直觉避险的实例，说明直觉的适用场景，并指出有意识思考与潜意识直觉同等重要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Research done by Leeds University shows that these feelings, or intuitions, are real and we should take them seriously.(英国利兹大学开展的一项研究表明，这些直觉感受真实存在，我们应当认真对待。)”可知，人们应当相信自己的直觉感受。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, researchers have concluded that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and external cues to decide — but one that happens so fast that the reaction is on a non-conscious level.(研究人员通过分析大量相关研究论文得出结论：直觉是大脑调取过往经历与外部线索做出判断，整个过程速度极快，属于无意识层面的反应。)”可知，直觉包含对外界线索的潜意识处理过程。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“They cite a Formula One driver, who once braked suddenly before a sharp U-turn without knowing why. This automatic reaction saved him from crashing into a pile of cars ahead, likely preventing a fatal accident.(研究人员列举了一位一级方程式赛车手的例子，他在急转弯前莫名急刹车，这种本能反应让他免于连环车祸，避免了致命事故。)”可知，消防员察觉到潜在危险并临时调整救援路线，与赛车手依靠直觉避险的案例逻辑一致，是直觉的典型应用。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“According to the research, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and obtain information on a subconscious level, and so is a real psychological phenomenon that needs further study to help us unlock its potential.(该研究表明，直觉是大脑在潜意识层面储存、处理、获取信息形成的产物，是真实存在的心理现象，有待进一步研究挖掘其价值。)”以及全文多处讲述直觉规避灾难、发挥作用的内容可知，作者写作目的是阐释直觉的科学依据与实用价值。 D Researchers at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a biological process that may explain why exercise sharpens thinking and memory. Their findings suggest that physical activity strengthens the brain’s built-in defense system, helping protect it from age-related damage. As people grow older, the blood-brain barrier becomes weaker. This tightly packed network of blood vessels normally protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the bloodstream. Over time, however, it can become leaky, allowing damaging substances to enter brain tissue. The result is inflammation, which is linked to a decline in mental abilities and is commonly seen in disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Several years ago, a research team from UCSF discovered that exercising mice produced higher levels of an enzyme (酶) called GPLD1 in their livers (肝脏). GPLD1 appeared to refresh the brain, but there was a mystery. The enzyme itself cannot cross into the brain, leaving scientists unsure how it delivers its cognitive benefits. The new research provides an answer. The scientists found that GPLD1 influences another protein known as TNAP. As mice age, TNAP builds up in the cells that form the blood-brain barrier. This buildup weakens the barrier and increases leakiness. When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells, helping restore the barrier’s health. To ascertain how GPLD1 functions, the team focused on the strengths of this enzyme. GPLD1 cuts specific proteins from the surface of cells. Researchers searched for tissues containing proteins that could serve as targets and suspected that some of these proteins might accumulate with age. Cells in the blood-brain barrier stood out because they carried several possible GPLD1 targets. When the scientists tested these proteins in the laboratory, only TNAP was cut by GPLD1. 12. What is the function of the blood-brain barrier? A. Keeping brain healthy. B. Protecting blood flow. C. Identifying brain disorders. D. Preventing cognitive decline. 13. What puzzled the scientists about GPLD1 initially? A. What it was responsible for. B. Whether its levels decreased with aging. C. Why exercising produced more GPLD1. D. How it managed to benefit the brain. 14. What effect does GPLD1 have on TNAP according to the new research? A. It changes the structure of TNAP. B. It prevents TNAP from building up. C. It increases the production of TNAP. D. It makes TNAP more active in cells. 15. What does the underlined word “ascertain” in the last paragraph mean? A. Complain. B. Admit. C. Determine. D. Declare. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了运动通过肝脏酶GPLD1修复血脑屏障，从而增强认知功能的生物学机制。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This tightly packed network of blood vessels normally protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the bloodstream.(这个紧密连接的血管网络通常保护大脑免受血液中循环的有害物质侵害。)”可知，血脑屏障的功能是保护大脑健康。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“GPLD1 appeared to refresh the brain, but there was a mystery. The enzyme itself cannot cross into the brain, leaving scientists unsure how it delivers its cognitive benefits.(GPLD1似乎能让大脑恢复活力，但存在一个谜团。这种酶本身无法进入大脑，这让科学家不确定它是如何带来认知益处的。)”可知，科学家最初困惑的是GPLD1如何在无法进入大脑的情况下使大脑受益。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells, helping restore the barrier’s health.(当小鼠运动时，肝脏会将GPLD1释放到血液中。这种酶到达大脑周围的血管，并从这些细胞表面清除TNAP，帮助恢复屏障的健康。)”可知，GPLD1通过移除细胞表面的TNAP，防止其在血脑屏障细胞中积累。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“To ascertain  how GPLD1 functions, the team focused on the strengths of this enzyme. GPLD1 cuts specific proteins from the surface of cells. Researchers searched for tissues containing proteins that could serve as targets and suspected that some of these proteins might accumulate with age. Cells in the blood-brain barrier stood out because they carried several possible GPLD1 targets. When the scientists tested these proteins in the laboratory, only TNAP was cut by GPLD1.(为ascertain GPLD1的作用原理，研究团队围绕该酶的特性展开研究：GPLD1能够切除细胞表面特定的蛋白质。研究人员寻找体内可作为作用靶点的组织蛋白，并推测其中部分蛋白会随年龄增长不断堆积。血脑屏障细胞尤为符合猜想，其表面存在多种潜在的GPLD1作用靶点。科研人员在实验室对这些蛋白进行检测后发现，仅有TNAP会被GPLD1分解。)”可知，为探明GPLD1的作用原理，研究团队围绕该酶的特性展开研究ascertain意为“查明，确定”。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life is inevitably accompanied by various forms of adversity, including academic setbacks, interpersonal conflicts and unexpected failures. ____16____ As a matter of fact, adversity rarely destroys us completely.

They decorate pages with colourful pens, as if note-taking were an art contest. Yet such efforts miss the point. The true beauty of note-taking lies not in its appearance, but in its power to transform listening into understanding. Here are my approaches. First, I listen critically and put ideas into my own words, forcing my brain to process. Second, I revisit my notes within 24 hours, reorganizing them and adding questions that connect new knowledge to what I already know. This turns a static page into a living conversation with myself. Ultimately, notes are not for show; they are bridges between information and insight, between the teacher’s voice and my own mind. 【解析】 【导语】题目要求学生向校英文报Opinion栏目投稿，发表自己对追求笔记之美和学习本质的看法，需论述个人看法，并提出解决问题的良策。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 装饰：decorate→ornament 在于：lie in→consist in 展示：show→demonstration 理解：understanding→comprehension 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：First, I listen critically and put ideas into my own words, forcing my brain to process. 拓展句：First, I listen critically and put ideas into my own words, which forces my brain to process. 【点睛】[高分句型1] They decorate pages with colourful pens, as if note-taking were an art contest.

Her voice was soft and steady, like a quiet stream in the summer night. “Star light, star bright,” I whispered, as a few pinpricks of light twinkled through the orange glows of the city night sky. These ordinary stars were for little wishes — everyday wishes — like getting extra frosting on your cupcake or finding a quarter on the sidewalk. But shooting stars were different. They were rare and magical. “Shooting stars are lucky,” Nana whispered softly with a tender smile. “They carry your wish across the sky.” So I kept a special wish ready — something I had been hoping for a long time — ready for a shooting star to catch my wish in its tail and dance across the darkness. “There are too many lights tonight, sugarplum,” she said, glancing down at the glowing city below. “The stars are hiding.” I nestled deeper in her arms, hoping for a few more minutes of her warmth as much as I hoped to see a shooting star. Time slipped away amid our soft chats and quiet waiting. Just then, my stomach growled softly — a tiny betrayal of my peaceful moment. Nana chuckled and stood up, stretching her arms. “A little song is good for something,” she laughed, “but so is a little snack. Let’s go down to the convenience store on the first floor. I remember you love those chocolate chip cookies.” The next minute, we reached the store, grabbed a pack of cookies and headed home cheerfully. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 We were about to take the elevator when the power went off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back on the balcony, we gazed into the sky again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 We were about to take the elevator when the power went off. Darkness wrapped around us, and I froze. Nana squeezed my hand tightly and said with a smile, “Looks like we’re taking the stairs — all ten floors.” Hand in hand, we started climbing, and her gentle humming filled the silence. “A little song is always good for something.” Her soothing voice drove away my unease. We talked and laughed, turning the blackout into a lovely journey. Step by step, we returned home, hearts filled with warmth. Back on the balcony, we gazed into the sky again. With the city lights dimmed, the night sky burst into a sea of stars. I took a bite at the cookies as we gazed up. Then, without warning, a silver line swept across the sky and vanished. “A shooting star!” I cried. Nana turned to me, eyes shining. “Make your wish, sugarplum.” Closing my eyes, I made my long-awaited wish, not for cupcakes or surprises, but for more nights like this. “This moment is the wish,” I whispered. My wish was holding tight to that star’s tail, and I swore I could feel it flying. 【解析】 【导语】本文以流星为线索展开，讲述了“我”和Nana在阳台等待流星未果后下楼买饼干，遭遇停电后在黑暗中携手爬楼，最终在停电后的夜空下如愿看到流星并领悟到陪伴才是最大愿望的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写电梯停电后黑暗笼罩，“我”僵住，Nana紧握“我”的手微笑提议爬十层楼梯，她哼唱温柔的歌驱散不安，两人谈笑间将停电变成温馨旅程，最终回到家中心怀温暖。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写停电后城市灯光熄灭，夜空繁星璀璨，“我”吃着饼干仰望，突然一道银线划过——流星出现，“我”闭眼许愿，愿望不是蛋糕或惊喜，而是更多这样的夜晚，感悟此刻就是愿望本身。 2.续写线索：电梯停电——Nana提议爬楼——哼歌驱散不安——温馨爬楼旅程——阳台重观夜空——流星出现许愿感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挤压，紧握：squeeze/hold tightly ②掠过：sweep across/flash by ③低语：whisper/ murmur 情绪类 ①不安：unease/fright ②满怀期许的：long-awaited/highly anticipated 【点睛】【高分句型1】With the city lights dimmed, the night sky burst into a sea of stars.

This project works with organisations across the UK to help share masterpieces from the nation’s collection with communities beyond Trafalgar Square. It will be reaching all four nations of the UK, travelling to a total of 12 partners. The National Gallery offers up to 30 printed reproductions of masterpieces from its collection each time. The first exhibition started in Stoke-on-Trent on 4 June 2025. Fifteen printed masterpieces were installed in an outdoor exhibition in Bethesda Gardens, opposite The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, as part of the city’s Centenary celebrations. Right now the free outdoor exhibition is running in Croydon, London. In each location, the local community has helped choose the paintings to be displayed. Croydon’s exhibition features 30 paintings. Caterina Loriggio, who works on cultural events in Croydon, said that they ran workshops with residents to choose the artworks. The workshops asked questions such as “Which painting reminds you of Croydon?”, and residents chose from different paintings for their answer. Loriggio said, “What was interesting was how many people chose the same things.” Every year, the National Gallery partners with organisations and audiences across the UK in a range of different and innovative ways. They want to ensure that everyone in the UK can engage with their national collection. Over the past years they have partnered with a number of organisations through a range of projects including their flagship Masterpiece Tour, contemporary Artist-in-Residence programme, National Treasures, Visits tour and Take One Picture programme. 1. Why did The National Gallery start the project? A. To inspire innovation. B. To seek potential partners. C. To build community pride. D. To popularize its collection. 2. How were the paintings for Croydon selected? A. By the painters. B. Through online voting. C. By art professionals. D. Through local workshops. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A museum newsletter. B. A travel handbook. C. An art research paper. D. A community notice. B Every December, my house turns into the Island of Misfit Treats. People are very kind, and I am very grateful, but there are only so many candied nuts and sugar cookies one human family can consume without consequences. So each year, I do what any health-conscious adult would do: I rearrange them. I wrap the treats with a bow, include a personalized note, and give them to a co-worker or a neighbor in a totally different zone of the neighborhood ecosystem, so no one will find out about the regifting thing. And yet… I always feel guilty. And this made me wonder: Is regifting actually rude? Or is it the most practical tradition since the invention of the gift bag? Let us not forget my wedding-regift story. On our Very Special Day, we received what appeared to be a very fancy, very expensive electric teakettle. The problem? My husband and I don’t drink tea. And for two months, I set it aside until an inspiration hit when my grandmother’s birthday rolled around. She loved fancy household items. And she loved it! Honestly, it was probably the most on-brand gift I ever gave her. You see, regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new, unused and suited to someone else’s actual preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet-friendly form. You just have to follow two rules. First, you should not regift within the same friend/neighbor ecosystem. Second, you should match the gift to the person. Don’t give kitchen tools to someone who considers the microwave “cooking”. Don’t give a gym membership card to someone who never breaks a sweat. Go ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts. And it’s definitely better than throwing them in the trash. 4. What does the author do with the candied nuts and sugar cookies each December? A. She puts them aside. B. She throws them away. C. She gives them to other people. D. She returns them to the givers. 5. Why does the author mention the electric teakettle story? A. To express regret for giving away her gift. B. To complain about receiving an unwanted gift. C. To show that regifting can work out perfectly well. D. To prove that expensive gifts are very suitable for regifting. 6. What does the underlined word “breaks a sweat” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Hangs out. B. Works out. C. Breaks down. D. Settles down. 7. What is the message the author wants to convey? A. Every dog has its day. B. One good turn deserves another. C. Rob Peter to pay Paul. D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. C Most of us have some “gut feelings” that we can't explain. For example, when we hunt for a new house, we might suddenly like it a lot or dislike it right away. Or when we meet new people, we make instant judgements on them without careful thought. Research done by Leeds University shows that these feelings, or intuitions, are real and we should take them seriously. According to the research, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and obtain information on a subconscious (潜意识的) level, and so is a real psychological phenomenon that needs further study to help us unlock its potential. There are many cases where intuition prevented major disasters, and cases of remarkable recoveries when doctors followed their gut feelings. Yet, science has historically questioned the concept of intuition, labelling it as “anti-scientific”. Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, researchers have concluded that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and external cues to decide — but one that happens so fast that the reaction is on a non-conscious level. All we're aware of is a general feeling that something is right or wrong. Researchers believe that people usually experience true intuition when they are under severe time pressure or in a situation of information overload or acute danger, where conscious analysis of the situation may be difficult or impossible. They cite a Formula One driver, who once braked suddenly before a sharp U-turn without knowing why. This automatic reaction saved him from crashing into a pile of cars ahead, likely preventing a fatal accident. Though he couldn’t explain his urge to stop, it overrode his competitive drive to win. After psychologists showed the driver a video replay, he realized at that very moment the crowd wasn't cheering as usual — they stood frozen, staring in the opposite direction as he approached the U-turn. That was the cue. He didn't consciously process this, but he knew something was wrong and stopped in time. Researchers believe that all intuitive experiences are based on the automatic evaluation of such internal and external cues. They say that we clearly need both conscious and non-conscious thought processes, but neither is superior to the other. 8. What does the research from Leeds University indicate? A. Gut feelings are not reliable in daily life. B. People ought to trust their intuitive feelings. C. Intuition is just a random psychological response. D. Intuitive responses often lead to wrong decisions. 9. According to Paragraph 3, what can we infer about intuition? A. Intuition involves subconscious processing of external cues. B. Intuition only works in life-threatening situations. C. Intuition relies on conscious analysis of visible dangers. D. Intuition is a random guess with no logical basis. 10. Which of the following real-life situations best illustrates the application of intuition? A. A shopper picks a product simply because its package looks attractive. B. A student solves math problems by strictly following formulas and logical reasoning. C. A firefighter suddenly reroutes a rescue mission after sensing some hidden risks. D. A student quickly guesses random answers without consideration during a timed quiz. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A. To describe how brains process external cues. B. To explain the scientific basis and value of intuition. C. To compare conscious and subconscious thinking. D. To criticize the overuse of intuition in daily life. D Researchers at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a biological process that may explain why exercise sharpens thinking and memory. Their findings suggest that physical activity strengthens the brain’s built-in defense system, helping protect it from age-related damage. As people grow older, the blood-brain barrier becomes weaker. This tightly packed network of blood vessels normally protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the bloodstream. Over time, however, it can become leaky, allowing damaging substances to enter brain tissue. The result is inflammation, which is linked to a decline in mental abilities and is commonly seen in disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Several years ago, a research team from UCSF discovered that exercising mice produced higher levels of an enzyme (酶) called GPLD1 in their livers (肝脏). GPLD1 appeared to refresh the brain, but there was a mystery. The enzyme itself cannot cross into the brain, leaving scientists unsure how it delivers its cognitive benefits. The new research provides an answer. The scientists found that GPLD1 influences another protein known as TNAP. As mice age, TNAP builds up in the cells that form the blood-brain barrier. This buildup weakens the barrier and increases leakiness. When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells, helping restore the barrier’s health. To ascertain how GPLD1 functions, the team focused on the strengths of this enzyme. GPLD1 cuts specific proteins from the surface of cells. Researchers searched for tissues containing proteins that could serve as targets and suspected that some of these proteins might accumulate with age. Cells in the blood-brain barrier stood out because they carried several possible GPLD1 targets. When the scientists tested these proteins in the laboratory, only TNAP was cut by GPLD1. 12. What is the function of the blood-brain barrier? A. Keeping brain healthy. B. Protecting blood flow. C. Identifying brain disorders. D. Preventing cognitive decline. 13. What puzzled the scientists about GPLD1 initially? A. What it was responsible for. B. Whether its levels decreased with aging. C. Why exercising produced more GPLD1. D. How it managed to benefit the brain. 14. What effect does GPLD1 have on TNAP according to the new research? A. It changes the structure of TNAP. B. It prevents TNAP from building up. C. It increases the production of TNAP. D. It makes TNAP more active in cells. 15. What does the underlined word “ascertain” in the last paragraph mean? A. Complain. B. Admit. C. Determine. D. Declare. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life is inevitably accompanied by various forms of adversity, including academic setbacks, interpersonal conflicts and unexpected failures. ____16____ As a matter of fact, adversity rarely destroys us completely. Instead, it polishes our character, builds our willpower and prepares us for future challenges. ____17____ Many individuals tend to feel discouraged and choose to give up when faced with severe obstacles.

Her voice was soft and steady, like a quiet stream in the summer night. “Star light, star bright,” I whispered, as a few pinpricks of light twinkled through the orange glows of the city night sky. These ordinary stars were for little wishes — everyday wishes — like getting extra frosting on your cupcake or finding a quarter on the sidewalk. But shooting stars were different. They were rare and magical. “Shooting stars are lucky,” Nana whispered softly with a tender smile. “They carry your wish across the sky.” So I kept a special wish ready — something I had been hoping for a long time — ready for a shooting star to catch my wish in its tail and dance across the darkness. “There are too many lights tonight, sugarplum,” she said, glancing down at the glowing city below. “The stars are hiding.” I nestled deeper in her arms, hoping for a few more minutes of her warmth as much as I hoped to see a shooting star. Time slipped away amid our soft chats and quiet waiting. Just then, my stomach growled softly — a tiny betrayal of my peaceful moment. Nana chuckled and stood up, stretching her arms. “A little song is good for something,” she laughed, “but so is a little snack. Let’s go down to the convenience store on the first floor. I remember you love those chocolate chip cookies.” The next minute, we reached the store, grabbed a pack of cookies and headed home cheerfully. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 We were about to take the elevator when the power went off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back on the balcony, we gazed into the sky again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
