The animal kingdom is filled with moms that go the extra mile for their young. Here’s a look at three outstanding animal mothers. African Elephant Baby elephants can’t see well at first, so they heavily depend on their mothers and stick close to them for the first few months of their lives. Elephants form a matriarchal (母系的) society where just about every female takes part in raising the little ones. Elephant babies usually stay with their mothers for support and nutrition for up to two years, during which they are also taught to find food, collect water, and protect themselves. Orangutan (猩猩) Orangutan moms stand out in the mothering world thanks to two major elements of their parenting. First, they either build a new nest or head to an older one every single night. Not impressed yet? Consider the second unbelievable qualities of orangutan moms: Orangutan kids have the longest dependence period of any land-dwelling animal, and they will stay with their moms for up to seven years as mom teaches them how to find food and build nests. They even come back to “visit” for much longer than that to learn mothering skills themselves later on. Polar Bears A pregnant female creates a den in deep snow where she’ll give birth to cubs weighing just 1.5 pounds—while she herself hasn’t eaten for months. For up to eight months, she’ll nurse these weak cubs using only her fat reserves, losing up to 43% of her body weight in the process. Once they come out of the den, polar bear mothers become protectors, willing to fight even larger male bears that pose a threat to their cubs. They’ll spend 2.5 years or so teaching their young essential survival skills for Arctic life 1. How do elephant mothers help their young? A. By instructing them on parenting skills B. By teaching them to find food and water. C. By protecting them for only a few days. D. By leaving them in the wild uncared for. 2. What is special about the Orangutan kids? A. They have poor sight at first. B. They like living in the old nests. C. They have a close bond with their mother. D. They can live without eating for months 3. How long will the polar bears learn to survive from their mother? A. For a few months B. For less than 2 year C. For more than 7 years. D. For about 2.5 years. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍非洲象、猩猩和北极熊这三种动物母亲为养育幼崽所做的努力。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据African Elephant部分中的“Elephant babies usually stay with their mothers for support and nutrition for up to two years, during which they are also taught to find food, collect water, and protect themselves.(小象通常会和母亲一起生活长达两年，以获得支持和营养，在此期间，母亲还会教它们寻找食物、收集水和保护自己)”可知，大象妈妈通过教幼象寻找食物和水来帮助它们。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Orangutan部分中的“Consider the second unbelievable qualities of orangutan moms: Orangutan kids have the longest dependence period of any land-dwelling animal, and they will stay with their moms for up to seven years as mom teaches them how to find food and build nests. They even come back to “visit” for much longer than that to learn mothering skills themselves later on. ( 再来看看猩猩妈妈另一个令人难以置信的特质：猩猩幼崽的依赖期在所有陆地动物中是最长的，它们会与妈妈共同生活长达七年之久，期间妈妈会教它们如何觅食和筑巢。甚至在那之后，它们还会回来“探望”，以便日后学习育儿技能)”可知，猩猩幼崽的特别之处在于它们与母亲关系密切。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Polar Bears部分中的“They’ll spend 2.5 years or so teaching their young essential survival skills for Arctic life.(它们会花大约2.5年的时间教幼崽北极生活的基本生存技能)”可知，北极熊会向母亲学习大约2.5年的生存技能。故选D项。 B Located in the rolling hills and endless stretches of farmland just beyond the village of Millbrook lies a peaceful habitat for more than 80 species of wildlife from around the world. Truly one of a kind, the Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School is the only zoo in the nation accredited (认证) by Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and run by a high school. This is where Alan Tousignant began his career in zoology and conservation (保护). Tousignant was ready to study biology and apply to a program for veterinarians (兽医), but he didn’t live up to the requirement of mathematics and had to give up that dream. During a fieldwork experience, however, he learned about an opening for an internship (实习) at the Millbrook School’s Trevor Zoo. His work at the zoo has caused him to develop a lifelong interest and career in exhibiting non-native animals and working with others in the field of conservation. The Trevor Zoo, established in 1936, is small compared to many well-known zoos. As a consequence, Tousignant says, “We all wear a lot of hats.” But the wide range of tasks on the job is exactly what’s kept him around for all these years. The role of organizer — helping to shape the big-picture purposes and goals for the zoo — comes easily to Tousignant, but he says he appreciates the hands-on time he spends working with the animals and designing exhibits. Working with students and observing the impact of the zoo program on their early learning experiences has been inspiring to Tousignant, who says the value of an on-campus zoo creates many opportunities to catch students’ imaginations and stimulate their curiosity about science and conservation. One living, breathing example is Millbrook alumnus (校友), Thomas Lovejoy, PhD, today a senior expert and a professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University in Virginia. Lovejoy’s experience working at the Trevor Zoo during high school inspired a lifelong career devoted to conservation. 4. What is special about the Trevor Zoo among AZA-accredited zoos? A. It has multiple wildlife species. B. It belongs to a private organization. C. It lies in the center of Millbrook. D. It is operated by a high school. 5. What led to Tousignant’s career interest? A. Animal research. B. Zoo internship. C. Math requirement. D. Biology study. 6. What does the underlined phrase “wear a lot of hats” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Take on various roles. B. Make the most of strengths. C. Work with many partners. D. Have a large collection of hats. 7. Why is Thomas Lovejoy mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To attract more students to visit zoos. B. To prove the popularity of conservation. C. To introduce a famous university professor. D. To show the Trevor Zoo’s influence on students. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍米尔布鲁克学校特雷弗动物园的独特之处，讲述艾伦的从业经历以及该动物园对学生环保理念带来的深远影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Truly one of a kind, the Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School is the only zoo in the nation accredited (认证) by Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and run by a high school.(米尔布鲁克学校的特雷弗动物园独一无二，它是全国唯一获得动物园与水族馆协会认证、由一所高中运营的动物园。)”可知，特雷弗动物园的特殊之处在于由一所高中运营。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“During a fieldwork experience, however, he learned about an opening for an internship (实习) at the Millbrook School’s Trevor Zoo. His work at the zoo has caused him to develop a lifelong interest and career in exhibiting non-native animals and working with others in the field of conservation.(然而在一次实地调研过程中，他得知米尔布鲁克学校特雷弗动物园有一个实习岗位空缺。在动物园的工作经历，让他终身热爱并投身于外来动物饲养展示，同时与同行一起从事动物保护相关工作。)”可知，动物园实习经历催生了图西尼昂的职业兴趣。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The Trevor Zoo, established in 1936, is small compared to many well-known zoos. As a consequence, Tousignant says, “We all wear a lot of hats.” But the wide range of tasks on the job is exactly what’s kept him around for all these years.(特雷弗动物园建于1936年，相比许多知名动物园，它规模很小。因此图西尼昂说：“我们每个人都wear a lot of hats。”但工作中多种多样的任务正是让他多年留在这里的原因。)”可知，动物园规模小，工作人员需要承担各类不同工作，因此，短语“wear a lot of hats”表示承担多种工作角色。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Lovejoy’s experience working at the Trevor Zoo during high school inspired a lifelong career devoted to conservation.(洛夫乔伊高中时期在特雷弗动物园的工作经历，促使他终身投身于动物保护事业。)”可知，作者列举洛夫乔伊的事例，是为了体现特雷弗动物园对学生产生的深远影响。 C Our bodies weren’t made to sit for hours in a classroom. That may be why many kids struggle to stay focused in school, often losing track of lessons. High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems. Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment. It uses short periods of heart-beating activity with short breaks in between. For example, high knees, star jumps, jumping jacks, hops and kicks. They described it in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, a leading academic journal. Twenty-five students aged 9 to 12 tried out the program. At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time. Then they did the high-intensity break exercises, rode an exercise bike or watched a short video. After each activity, participants did some tests. One test showed five fish in a line on a screen, and kids had to note which direction the center fish faced. Other tests focused on math or language skills. During the fish test, the team noticed a change in what Drollette calls “the uh-oh mechanism” — when you realize you made a mistake. High-intensity exercise reduced that response, suggesting that exercise had made kids’ brains more efficient at processing information. Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout. But they did a little worse at math. That could be from tiredness, which tends to affect higher-level thinking tasks, Drollette says. Being active can help with both mental and physical health, says Drollette. His recommendation: “Find opportunities to stand up and get moving, even for a few minutes, to keep your brain sharp and your body healthy.” 8. What is the nine-minute program designed for? A. Helping students get better at focusing. B. Training students’ physical strength. C. Making students more active in sports. D. Assisting students to relax after class. 9. What were the 25 students required to do in Drollette’s lab? A. They only did high-intensity exercise. B. They wore equipment to record brain activity. C. They did tests before doing any activity. D. They watched videos for a long time. 10. What effect did high-intensity break exercise have on students? A. It made students better at math. B. It reduced students’ tiredness. C. It improved students’ language tests. D. It made students’ brains slower. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Short Breaks: A Cure for Students’ Tiredness B. High-Intensity Break Exercises: A Way to Improve Math C. Short Breaks: A Solution to Building Health D. High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述短时高强度课间运动可提升学生专注力，但对数学能力有轻微负面影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems.(高强度课间运动可以帮助学生更好地集中注意力。新研究表明，短短几分钟的运动就能改善大脑功能与学习效率，为课堂专注力难题提供了简便的解决办法。)”和第二段中“Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment.(运动专家埃里克·德洛莱特就职于北卡罗来纳大学格林斯伯勒分校，他想知道提升专注力所需的最短运动时长。他带领团队设计了一套时长九分钟的高强度课间运动方案，无需额外器械，在教室内即可完成。)”可知，该项目旨在帮助学生提升专注力。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time.(在德洛莱特的实验室里，他们佩戴心率监测器和脑电图帽，实时记录大脑活动。)”可知，学生需要佩戴记录大脑活动的设备。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout.(学生们在高强度运动过后，语言测试的表现也变得更好。)”可知，该运动提升了学生语言测试成绩。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better.(高强度课间运动可以帮助学生更好地集中注意力。)”可知，全文围绕高强度课间运动助力学生专注力展开。“High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus(高强度课间运动：学生集中注意力的辅助方法)”符合题意。 D Computers have become amazingly exact at translating spoken words to text messages and searching a large supply of valuable information for answers to difficult questions. At least, that is, so long as you speak English or other world's main languages. But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy. American tech giants don't have a long history of making their language technology work well outside the wealthiest markets, a problem that has also made it harder for them to discover dangerous misinformation on their platforms. Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them. “We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed,” said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his Al research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. “Considering our history, some of the bias (偏见) is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized (殖民化的) countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way,” Marivate added. However, Google and Microsoft are among the companies that say they are trying to improve technology for so-called "low-resource" languages that Al systems don't have enough data for. Computer scientists at Meta announced a breakthrough on the path to a "universal translator" that could translate multiple languages at once and work better with lower-resourced languages. Meanwhile, Marivate and other researchers have founded a research project across Africa. Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches. 12. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2? A. Yoruba and Igbo are widely spoken in the world. B. English speakers fail to access online information. C. The online data of African languages is limited. D. Computers can translate all text messages exactly. 13. Why does the author mention “Google” in Paragraph 2? A. To make a prediction. B. To draw a comparison. C. To reach a conclusion. D. To give an example. 14. What is Marivate's attitude towards “American tech giants”? A. Friendly. B. Unconcerned. C. Dissatisfied. D. Proud. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Joint Efforts to Improve AI in African Languages B. Computers Good at Translating Spoken Language C. US Tech Giants Misunderstand African Languages D. African Researchers Exchange Ideas with Tech Giants 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国科技巨头正在共同努力，提高人工智能在非洲语言的能力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.(但试着用约鲁巴语、伊博语或任何广泛使用的非洲语言与手机通话，你会发现难以获取信息、贸易和全球科技经济带来的其他好处。)”和第二段“Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them.(部分原因是，人工智能系统没有足够的在线数据来有效地学习如何更好地理解这些语言。)”可知，非洲语言的在线数据是有限的。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. (例如，谷歌的语言应用程序把一个善良的非洲神误译为魔鬼，这让约鲁巴社区的成员感到不安。)”可推断，作者在第二段提到“谷歌”是给出一个具体的例子。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“"We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed," said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his AI research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. "Considering our history, some of the bias is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way," Marivate added. (“如果一台机器不懂你的语言，它就会像从未存在过一样，” Vukosi Marivate说。他将自己的一些人工智能研究投入到了非洲南部的希特松加语和塞茨瓦纳语上。“考虑到我们的历史，有些偏见是故意的。非洲大陆和其他殖民地国家的历史表明，当语言必须被翻译时，翻译的方式非常狭隘。”)”可推断，Marivate对“美国科技巨头”的态度是不满意的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.(但试着用约鲁巴语、伊博语或任何广泛使用的非洲语言与手机通话，你会发现难以获取信息、贸易和全球科技经济带来的其他好处。)根据最后一段“Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches.”（人们越来越多地联合起来开发各种语言方法。）所以“Joint Efforts to Improve Al in African Languages(共同努力提高非洲语言的人工智能)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。 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。 Easter is a very popular holiday in Christian countries. ____16____ Easter is a “movable” holiday, as it is celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox. Easter is known mostly as a Christian holiday. ____17____ The holiday was first meant to celebrate the coming of spring and to welcome the birth of plants, animals and all the bright flowers. ____18____ Then later the eggs were given as gifts. Sometimes the eggs were exchanged by lovers. Giving special eggs to those who they love is very similar to giving presents on Valentine’s Day. Most countries celebrate Easter by decorating eggs, getting together with family, eating chocolate and sweets and playing egg hunts. Many children enjoy Easter because of egg hunts. ____19____Then the children run around searching for them. The most famous egg hunt is done every year on the lawn of the White House in Washington D.C. For many children, Easter and the Easter Bunny are second only to Christmas and Santa Claus in popularity. The Easter Bunny, a young rabbit, is a character that represents everything wonderful for spring: life and playfulness. The Easter Bunny first came from Germany and was brought to North America later. ____20____ There are even Easter Bunnies made of chocolate! A. Others have hidden eggs around the houses or outside. B. It’s a holiday to celebrate Jesus Christ’s return to life. C. However, many celebrations during this time have nothing to do with Christianity. D. During Easter in Germany, a lamb is a popular symbol. E. The most interesting part of the holiday is looking for eggs. F. The practice of painting eggs was first done to represent the coming of spring. G. It’s a very popular character for Easter. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了复活节习俗的起源和发展变化以及各国复活节常见活动。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Easter is a very popular holiday in Christian countries.(复活节是基督教国家中非常受欢迎的节日。) ”可知，上文提到基督教国家，B项“这是一个庆祝耶稣基督复活的节日。”解释复活节的基督教核心内涵，“It”指代 “Easter”。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Easter is known mostly as a Christian holiday.(复活节通常被认为是一个基督教节日。)”和下文“The holiday was first meant to celebrate the coming of spring and to welcome the birth of plants, animals and all the bright flowers.(这个节日最初是为了庆祝春天的到来，迎接植物、动物和所有明艳花朵的新生。)”可知，上文讲基督教属性，下文转向古老的迎春民俗。C项“然而，这期间许多庆祝活动和基督教毫无关系。”起到转折过渡，引出非基督教的传统习俗。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Then later the eggs were given as gifts. Sometimes the eggs were exchanged by lovers.(后来彩蛋就被当作礼物来赠送了。有时情侣之间也会互相交换彩蛋。)”可知，下文中的then later和上文形成时间顺序，F项“绘制彩蛋这一习俗最初用来象征春天的到来。”中的“first”与“then later”对应，且F项中的“painting eggs”引出彩蛋话题。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Then the children run around searching for them.(然后孩子们四处跑动寻找它们。)”可知，下文提到寻找彩蛋，空处应提到藏彩蛋构成动作先后顺序。A项“其他人会把彩蛋藏在屋内各处或者户外。”中的“eggs”与下文中的“them”对应。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The Easter Bunny first came from Germany and was brought to North America later.(复活节兔最早起源于德国，后来被带到了北美洲。)”和下文“There are even Easter Bunnies made of chocolate!(甚至还有用巧克力做成的复活节兔！)”可知，上文是对复活节兔子来历的介绍，说明它人气很高，顺势引出巧克力兔子的例子。G项“它是复活节非常受欢迎的形象。”中“It”指代“The Easter Bunny”。 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。 Older citizens join China’s digital age Digital technology has made life easier for most people.

The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink. As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next. 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。 My hesitation melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My hesitation melted away. I grabbed the tray and hurried after the two firefighters, calling out softly, “Excuse me!” They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise. I held out the tray, smiling, “You guys must be in a rush — take this. It’s not much, but it’ll keep you going.” One of them hesitated for a second, then nodded gratefully, taking the tray. “Thank you, really,” he said, before they rushed out into the street, the siren growing louder as they went. I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light. I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. He smiled warmly, holding up a new tray with a burger, fries, and a drink. “Saw what you did for the firefighters,” he said, handing it over. “This one’s on the house. We need more people like you.” I was shocked, then grateful, taking the tray. “Thank you so much,” I replied. As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before. Sometimes, giving up a small thing didn’t just help others — it filled your own heart, too. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述市中心快餐店午间繁忙，作者下班后买了午餐，看到两位刚可能出完任务、面露疲惫的消防员排队。警报响起，消防员立刻行动，作者虽不舍排队换来的午餐，但想到他们应急时难以吃饭，内心纠结。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“我的犹豫消失了。”可知，下文可描写作者追上两名消防员并把自己的食物拿给他们，消防员表示感谢，作者虽然饿着，但心情舒畅。 ②根据第二段首句“我回到柜台，却发现经理正在等我。”可知，接下来可描写经理被作者的行为感动，为作者准备好了餐食，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：犹豫消失——追上消防员——递上食物——消防员感激——作者心情舒畅——老板等着作者——递给作者准备好的食物——解释原因——作者感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/get hold of ②看见：see/notice ③回答：reply/respond 情绪类 ①感激地：gratefully/with gratitude ②心情舒畅的：feel light/feel lighthearted 【点睛】【高分句型1】They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light.（运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型3】 As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级英语试题 （限时：120分钟 满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The animal kingdom is filled with moms that go the extra mile for their young. Here’s a look at three outstanding animal mothers. African Elephant Baby elephants can’t see well at first, so they heavily depend on their mothers and stick close to them for the first few months of their lives. Elephants form a matriarchal (母系的) society where just about every female takes part in raising the little ones. Elephant babies usually stay with their mothers for support and nutrition for up to two years, during which they are also taught to find food, collect water, and protect themselves. Orangutan (猩猩) Orangutan moms stand out in the mothering world thanks to two major elements of their parenting. First, they either build a new nest or head to an older one every single night. Not impressed yet? Consider the second unbelievable qualities of orangutan moms: Orangutan kids have the longest dependence period of any land-dwelling animal, and they will stay with their moms for up to seven years as mom teaches them how to find food and build nests. They even come back to “visit” for much longer than that to learn mothering skills themselves later on. Polar Bears A pregnant female creates a den in deep snow where she’ll give birth to cubs weighing just 1.5 pounds—while she herself hasn’t eaten for months. For up to eight months, she’ll nurse these weak cubs using only her fat reserves, losing up to 43% of her body weight in the process. Once they come out of the den, polar bear mothers become protectors, willing to fight even larger male bears that pose a threat to their cubs. They’ll spend 2.5 years or so teaching their young essential survival skills for Arctic life 1. How do elephant mothers help their young? A. By instructing them on parenting skills B. By teaching them to find food and water. C. By protecting them for only a few days. D. By leaving them in the wild uncared for. 2. What is special about the Orangutan kids? A. They have poor sight at first. B. They like living in the old nests. C. They have a close bond with their mother. D. They can live without eating for months 3. How long will the polar bears learn to survive from their mother? A. For a few months B. For less than 2 year C. For more than 7 years. D. For about 2.5 years. B Located in the rolling hills and endless stretches of farmland just beyond the village of Millbrook lies a peaceful habitat for more than 80 species of wildlife from around the world. Truly one of a kind, the Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School is the only zoo in the nation accredited (认证) by Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and run by a high school. This is where Alan Tousignant began his career in zoology and conservation (保护). Tousignant was ready to study biology and apply to a program for veterinarians (兽医), but he didn’t live up to the requirement of mathematics and had to give up that dream. During a fieldwork experience, however, he learned about an opening for an internship (实习) at the Millbrook School’s Trevor Zoo. His work at the zoo has caused him to develop a lifelong interest and career in exhibiting non-native animals and working with others in the field of conservation. The Trevor Zoo, established in 1936, is small compared to many well-known zoos. As a consequence, Tousignant says, “We all wear a lot of hats.” But the wide range of tasks on the job is exactly what’s kept him around for all these years. The role of organizer — helping to shape the big-picture purposes and goals for the zoo — comes easily to Tousignant, but he says he appreciates the hands-on time he spends working with the animals and designing exhibits. Working with students and observing the impact of the zoo program on their early learning experiences has been inspiring to Tousignant, who says the value of an on-campus zoo creates many opportunities to catch students’ imaginations and stimulate their curiosity about science and conservation. One living, breathing example is Millbrook alumnus (校友), Thomas Lovejoy, PhD, today a senior expert and a professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University in Virginia. Lovejoy’s experience working at the Trevor Zoo during high school inspired a lifelong career devoted to conservation. 4. What is special about the Trevor Zoo among AZA-accredited zoos? A. It has multiple wildlife species. B. It belongs to a private organization. C. It lies in the center of Millbrook. D. It is operated by a high school. 5. What led to Tousignant’s career interest? A. Animal research. B. Zoo internship. C. Math requirement. D. Biology study. 6. What does the underlined phrase “wear a lot of hats” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Take on various roles. B. Make the most of strengths. C. Work with many partners. D. Have a large collection of hats. 7. Why is Thomas Lovejoy mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To attract more students to visit zoos. B. To prove the popularity of conservation. C. To introduce a famous university professor. D. To show the Trevor Zoo’s influence on students. C Our bodies weren’t made to sit for hours in a classroom. That may be why many kids struggle to stay focused in school, often losing track of lessons. High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems. Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment. It uses short periods of heart-beating activity with short breaks in between. For example, high knees, star jumps, jumping jacks, hops and kicks. They described it in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, a leading academic journal. Twenty-five students aged 9 to 12 tried out the program. At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time. Then they did the high-intensity break exercises, rode an exercise bike or watched a short video. After each activity, participants did some tests. One test showed five fish in a line on a screen, and kids had to note which direction the center fish faced. Other tests focused on math or language skills. During the fish test, the team noticed a change in what Drollette calls “the uh-oh mechanism” — when you realize you made a mistake. High-intensity exercise reduced that response, suggesting that exercise had made kids’ brains more efficient at processing information. Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout. But they did a little worse at math. That could be from tiredness, which tends to affect higher-level thinking tasks, Drollette says. Being active can help with both mental and physical health, says Drollette. His recommendation: “Find opportunities to stand up and get moving, even for a few minutes, to keep your brain sharp and your body healthy.” 8. What is the nine-minute program designed for? A. Helping students get better at focusing. B. Training students’ physical strength. C. Making students more active in sports. D. Assisting students to relax after class. 9. What were the 25 students required to do in Drollette’s lab? A. They only did high-intensity exercise. B. They wore equipment to record brain activity. C. They did tests before doing any activity. D. They watched videos for a long time. 10. What effect did high-intensity break exercise have on students? A. It made students better at math. B. It reduced students’ tiredness. C. It improved students’ language tests. D. It made students’ brains slower. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Short Breaks: A Cure for Students’ Tiredness B. High-Intensity Break Exercises: A Way to Improve Math C. Short Breaks: A Solution to Building Health D. High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus D Computers have become amazingly exact at translating spoken words to text messages and searching a large supply of valuable information for answers to difficult questions. At least, that is, so long as you speak English or other world's main languages. But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy. American tech giants don't have a long history of making their language technology work well outside the wealthiest markets, a problem that has also made it harder for them to discover dangerous misinformation on their platforms. Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them. “We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed,” said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his Al research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. “Considering our history, some of the bias (偏见) is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized (殖民化的) countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way,” Marivate added. However, Google and Microsoft are among the companies that say they are trying to improve technology for so-called "low-resource" languages that Al systems don't have enough data for. Computer scientists at Meta announced a breakthrough on the path to a "universal translator" that could translate multiple languages at once and work better with lower-resourced languages. Meanwhile, Marivate and other researchers have founded a research project across Africa. Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches. 12. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2? A. Yoruba and Igbo are widely spoken in the world. B. English speakers fail to access online information. C. The online data of African languages is limited. D. Computers can translate all text messages exactly. 13. Why does the author mention “Google” in Paragraph 2? A. To make a prediction. B. To draw a comparison. C. To reach a conclusion. D. To give an example. 14. What is Marivate's attitude towards “American tech giants”? A. Friendly. B. Unconcerned. C. Dissatisfied. D. Proud. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Joint Efforts to Improve AI in African Languages B. Computers Good at Translating Spoken Language C. US Tech Giants Misunderstand African Languages D. African Researchers Exchange Ideas with Tech Giants 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。 Easter is a very popular holiday in Christian countries. ____16____ Easter is a “movable” holiday, as it is celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox.

The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink. As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next. 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。 My hesitation melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
