湖南长沙市一中广雅中学2026-2027学年高二上学期开学英语试题

2026年下学期高二开学考试 英语 一、听力 1.A 【原文】W: I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Jim. M: Oh, not at all. I have been here for only a few minutes. What would you like to have before dinner, coffee or tea? W: Coffee, please. 2.B 【原文】M: By the way, have you finished your composition? W: Yes, I spent more than 40 minutes on it last night. M: I didn’t start it until 9: 30 last night, because I had to do my physics exercises first. 35 minutes later, I finished my composition. 3.B 【原文】M: For six dollars, you can choose one vegetable and one meat dish; for eight dollars, you get two meat dishes and one vegetable; for ten dollars, you get two of each. W: I’ll have honey chicken, black pepper beef and one fried vegetable please. 4.B 【原文】W: These grapes are much better when they’re in season. M: Exactly. Nothing compares to the natural sweetness then. Before they’re at their best, I’m a big fan of watermelon. I avoid mangoes since they make me sick. 5.C 【原文】M: I don’t want to live in Los Angeles anymore. W: Why not? It’s full of opportunities for people who are energetic. M: But I can’t afford the living cost. W: Indeed. And it’s easily affected by extreme weather. 6.B 7.A 【原文】M: The fog here is annoying but fascinating. The cold California Current chills the air above it. When warm, moist Pacific air moves over this cold water, it cools fast and condenses into fog. W: I didn’t know ocean currents matter so much! I read it can look pink or purple at sunrise or sunset, due to light scattering through water droplets. M: Right! It’s pure water droplets, no pollution like smog. The air feels fresh after it lifts. W: That’s surprising. I’ll appreciate it more now, even if it ruins my beach plans. 8.A 9.B 【原文】W: Did you know that scientists can tell what Earth’s air was like by looking at old rocks? M: How do they do that? Are the colors of the rocks different when you break them open? Isn’t that hard with big rocks? W: Not really. The method is based on finding different chemicals. Each rock has many levels and you can even tell how old a rock is this way. M: That’s very cool. Do you think scientists could do this on other planets like Venus or Pluto? W: We’ve already done it on the moon. Most recently, samples from Mars have even been analyzed. We can tell many things about their surfaces now. 10.C 11.C 12.B 【原文】M: Hi, Becky, you seem so focused. What are you doing? W: Hi, James. I am reading a magazine named National Geographic Kids. Have you ever read it? M: I’m afraid not. What’s it about? Is it interesting? W: Yeah. It is aimed at young children and helps them learn more about science and nature. M: Wow. So what have you learned from the magazine? W: Ha-ha. I just got some facts about animals, which are strange but true. Do you know what the largest animal in the world is? M: Blue whales? W: Bingo! They’re even bigger than some dinosaurs, and their life expectancy is 80 to 90. However, its history is not as long as dinosaurs. Besides, I just learned that a bat can eat up to 3,000 insects in one night. You know what? The color red doesn’t really make bulls angry because they’re color-blind. But blue whales aren’t. M: Really? I couldn’t believe my ears! 13.A 14.C 15.C 16.A 【原文】W: Jack, long time no see. You’ve changed so much. You’ve become much more energetic and fitter. I’ve been thinking about losing some weight in a healthy way, of course. Any good ideas? M: Yes, Lucy, what’s your diet like now? Do you often have sugary drinks or snacks? W: I really like sugary drinks, especially fruit juice. M: Well, start by giving up sugary drinks. Replace them with tea and black coffee. Also, try to eat some whole grains. W: Sounds reasonable. What about exercise? Should I run a lot in the gym? M: You don’t have to hit the gym, just take regular walks. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day. W: I can manage that. And I’ve heard that getting enough sleep is important, too. M: Absolutely. Lack of sleep can increase your desire for unhealthy foods. W: That’s true, and sometimes when I don’t get enough sleep, I get a headache. M: So please get enough sleep. Try to get seven to eight hours of sleep each night. W: All right. I’ll start with these small changes and see how they go. Thanks for your advice. 17.A 18.B 19.A 20.C 【原文】W: I’m glad that’s over. It was a hard lecture. What did you think? M: Really difficult. The concepts are hard to grasp sometimes. W: Well, I’m glad it wasn’t just me who found it difficult to understand. M: Look! Why don’t we sit here and talk it over? It might make things clearer for us. W: That’s a great idea, but I’ve got a course now with Dr. Mellor from 12 to 1 p.m. I’m free after that. M: OK, I’ll go to the library for half an hour to review my notes from the lecture, and see if I can find any books from the reading list. W: You mean you didn’t read anything about it before you went to the lecture? M: No. Did you? W: Not really. M: Maybe that’s why we didn’t understand it then. Anyway, it’s almost 12 now, let’s get together at say ten past one. W: OK. See you then. 二、阅读理解 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文，介绍了青少年互动夏令营TransForm 的活动内容，包括体验形式、日程安排及课程方向，旨在为青少年提供探索兴趣的平台。 21.D【解析】 细节理解题。根据Experience TransForm部分中的“TransForm allows you to get to focus on your chosen track through subject matter talks, hands-on workshops, and off - site experiences. ”可知，青少年可以参加实践工作坊。故选D。 22.B【解析】细节理解题。根据Schedule of Programming日程安排，18 July的活动包括“Youth Panel”，可知青少年可参与该活动。故选B。 23.C【解析】细节理解题。根据Programming Tracks中的“Healthy Living: Empowering you to make healthy decisions in such areas as nutrition and emotional well-being, and lead healthy lifestyles ”可知，青少年可学习健康生活相关知识。故选C。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项全新科学研究，指出每个人拥有独一无二的鼻腔呼吸“指纹”，不仅可以高精度识别个人身份，还能反映身心健康状况、作息及体重指数等信息，同时介绍了研究现状、现存局限以及科研团队的后续改进方向。 24.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal breathing ‘fingerprint’, a unique pattern”可知，作者将呼吸模式比作指纹，是利用指纹的独有属性，生动说明每个人的呼吸模式都是独一无二的。A项“论证医学观点”、C项“介绍新发明”、D项“探讨心理健康问题”均并非此处比喻的目的。由此可知，故选 B 项。 25.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy”可知，该研究识别个体的准确率高达96.8%，足以证明实验结果可靠。B项“涵盖不同年龄段受试者”与原文“tested 100 healthy young adults”不符；C项“难以区分个体”与实验结果相悖；D项“在特制条件下测试”与原文“went about their regular routines”不符。由此可知，故选 A 项。 26.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“they merely know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they haven’t figured out the cause-and-effect direction”可知，研究人员仅证实呼吸与情绪存在关联，但尚未理清二者的因果逻辑与作用机制。B项“明确因果关系”、C项“可用于疾病治疗”、D项“情绪完全控制呼吸”均与原文不符。由此可知，故选 A 项。 27.C【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文核心研究发现包含两大方面：独特的呼吸模式可精准识别个人身份，同时能够反映人的身心健康、作息、体重指数等各类身体线索。A、B、D三项均为文章局部细节，无法概括全文核心研究成果。由此可知，故选 C 项。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章介绍科研人员开展研究，探究羽毛颜色和羽毛重量的关系；黑色素分子质量大，会增加羽毛重量，该现象也对鸟类进化产生一定影响。 28.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中 “The researchers wanted to know if there was a difference in how much a feather of one color weighed compared to that of another color” 可知，研究人员开展研究的目的是弄清楚羽毛颜色和羽毛重量二者之间的联系。A 项 “对比鸟类不同迁徙模式”，迁徙只是文末举例信息，并非研究目的，属于局部信息；B 项 “收集濒危鸟类标本”，文中只提及研究 19 个物种的 109 份标本，没有提到濒危物种，无中生有；C 项 “阐释鸟类羽毛未知的功能”，文章侧重颜色‑重量关系，并非羽毛各类功能，偷换研究主题。故选 D 项。 29.B【解析】段落主旨题。第三段介绍黑色素分子质量大，是羽毛重量不可忽视的组成部分，还介绍黑色素的两种类型及其对应的羽毛颜色，为后文实验与结果提供理论支撑，因此本段主要阐述研究的理论基础。A 项 “研究流程”，实验操作流程出现在第四段；C 项 “黑色素的功能”，本段没有介绍黑色素具备什么生理功能，无中生有；D 项 “黑色素的形成”，文中并未讲解黑色素如何生成，无中生有。故选 B 项。 30.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中 “They found the melanin accounted for 25% of the total dry mass of the feathers on average. For a species known for having very dark feathers, that went up to over 60% of the weight” 可知，黑色素在羽毛干重中占比很高，由此得出黑色素含量会影响羽毛重量。A 项 “颜色是羽毛重量的决定性因素”，文中只说明颜色相关的黑色素会影响重量，“决定性” 表述过于绝对；C 项 “羽毛平均占鸟类体重的四分之一”，原文是黑色素占羽毛干重 25%，偷换概念；D 项 “羽毛颜色越深，鸟类飞行距离越远”，原文迁徙鸟类羽毛颜色更浅，与文意相反。故选 B 项。 31.C【解析】主旨大意题。全文开篇提出羽毛重量差异可能和颜色有关，中间介绍实验理论、过程与结果，末尾谈及该现象对鸟类进化的影响，核心围绕羽毛颜色和羽毛重量的关联展开。A 项 “区分羽毛的重要意义”，文章没有讲区分羽毛的意义，偏离主旨；B 项 “不同物种鸟类羽毛的进化”，进化只是文末补充信息，属于局部信息；D 项 “羽毛颜色对鸟类迁徙距离的影响”，迁徙只是举例，并非全文核心话题，片面信息。故选 C 项。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项利用老鼠进行地震救援的创新举措。科学家通过训练老鼠，让它们携带微型麦克风深入废墟寻找幸存者。相比狗，老鼠体型更小，能进入狭小空间，且同样具备出色的嗅觉和训练潜力，在搜救工作中展现出巨大的应用前景。 32.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中Dr Donna Kean所说的话“And their size is useful because they are able to get into small spaces that dogs are just unable to get into.” 可知，老鼠在体型上具有优势，能够进入狗无法进入的狭小空间。A项“它们体型小”准确对应了原文信息；B项“团队精神”、C项“良好的嗅觉”（虽然原文提到嗅觉与狗相似，但并未说是优于狗的优势）及D项“强大的力量”在文中均未提及。由此可知，故选 A 项。 33.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They carry tiny bags with microphones in them are being sent to the debris to find and come into contact with survivors. ‘There can be sounds coming from the bags that may say something like, I am a rescue rat, I’m here to help you,’ Kean said, ‘which can be very helpful to those who are scared of the rat.’” 可知，老鼠携带装有麦克风的背包，是为了播放声音与幸存者交流，安抚他们的情绪。A项“控制老鼠的行为”、C项“直接引导老鼠找到幸存者”及D项“为幸存者提供食物和水”均不符合原文描述。B项“为了有效地与幸存者取得联系”准确概括了背包的作用。由此可知，故选 B 项。 34.B【解析】主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“The rats first start their training in a small empty room. And then they move on to increasingly challenging situations until they come close to the debris.” 可知，本段详细描述了老鼠从在空房间开始训练，到逐渐适应更具挑战性的环境，直到接近废墟的整个训练过程。A项“训练救援老鼠的原因”、C项“老鼠与救援人员的合作”及D项“老鼠在救援工作中的良好表现”均不是本段核心。B项“为救援工作训练老鼠的过程”准确概括了第四段的主旨。由此可知，故选 B 项。 35.C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The work could save the lives of survivors, as well as rescuers, because it will give rescuers a better idea of where survivors are located before they enter the dangerous places. These little rats are on their way to making a big difference now.” 可知，作者认为老鼠的搜救工作不仅能拯救幸存者的生命，还能保护救援人员，并指出这些小老鼠正在发挥巨大作用。这充分表明作者对老鼠在救援工作中的角色持肯定和赞赏的态度。A项“不确定的”、B项“怀疑的”及D项“不赞成的”均与原文积极正面的语气不符。C项“积极的（Positive）”准确反映了作者的态度。由此可知，故选 C 项。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了心理学中的“禀赋效应”，解释了人们因拥有某物而对其过高估值的现象，并提出了通过转换视角来克服该效应的方法。 36.A【解析】上文提到作者虽然知道不会再读旧课本，但内心觉得也许它们哪天会有用。A 项 “It just feels right to keep them.” 承接上文，解释了这种不愿丢弃的心理感受，并自然引出下文提到的“禀赋效应”。故选 A 项。 37.G【解析】上文提到人们卖出自己拥有的酒瓶时索要的价格远高于买入时的出价。G 项 “The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.” 承接上文，指出这种价格不一致揭示了人们仅仅因为拥有某物就对其过高估值，与下文的“unwilling to give something up once we own it”形成逻辑呼应。故选 G 项。 38.F【解析】上文提到研究者最初认为这是“损失厌恶”导致的。F 项 “That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.” 承接上文，指出“损失厌恶”听起来合理，但真正的原因是拥有感本身，与下文“we value something more simply because it is ours”完美衔接。故选 F 项。 39.B【解析】上文建议犹豫是否丢弃某物时，问自己“现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买下它”。B 项 “More often than not, the answer is ‘nothing’.” 承接上文的问题，指出答案通常是“什么都不愿意付”，并引出下文的“it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness”。故选 B 项。 40.D【解析】空处位于段首，引出本段关于拥有某物代价的讨论。下文提到“Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well.”（除了把家变成过去的储藏室，它还让我们在精神上被困其中）。D 项 “The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.” 总领全段，指出拥有的代价往往超出我们的想象，与下文内容高度契合。故选 D 项。 三、完形填空 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了19岁的墨西哥夹饼店老板 Quinones 在生意濒临倒闭时，通过一个 TikTok 视频分享自己的故事，意外获得社区支持，最终使生意起死回生的励志故事。 41.B【解析】select 选择；serve 服务，招待；count 数数；avoid 避免。根据前文 “他发现自己……排着长队的顾客”，可知，他正在“招待”排长队的顾客。由此可知，故选 B 项。 42.A【解析】step 步，步骤；block 块；test 测试；reaction 反应。根据后文 “走向他的梦想”，可知，他把这家小餐馆看作是迈向梦想的“一步”。由此可知，故选 A 项。 43.C【解析】familiarity 熟悉；talent 天赋；interest 兴趣；popularity 流行。根据前文 “培养了对食品行业的热爱”，可知，但仅有“兴趣”是不够的。由此可知，故选 C 项。 44.A【解析】struggle 挣扎；survive 幸存；vary 变化；progress 进步。根据后文 “赚的钱几乎不够……”，可知，生意很“艰难”。由此可知，故选 A 项。 45.D【解析】reduce 减少；ignore 忽视；prove 证明；cover 支付，覆盖。根据前文 “赚的钱几乎不够……”，可知，不够“支付”日常开销。由此可知，故选 D 项。 46.D【解析】run out 用完；pick up 捡起；fall behind 落后；shut down 关闭。根据前文 “如果没有改变”，可知，商店很快就会“关闭”。由此可知，故选 D 项。 47.B【解析】efficiently 高效地；heavily 沉重地；equally 平等地；secretly 秘密地。根据前文 “压力……压在他身上”，可知，压力“沉重地”压在他身上。固定搭配 weigh heavily on sb. 意为“给某人带来沉重压力”。由此可知，故选 B 项。 48.C【解析】wait 等待；hide 隐藏；quit 放弃；fight 战斗。根据后文 “然而，Quinones 并没有放弃”，可知，他意识到“放弃”似乎是最简单的选择。由此可知，故选 C 项。 49.A【解析】chance 机会；lead 线索；recipe 食谱；stand 立场。根据后文 “他录制了一个30秒的TikTok视频”，可知，他做了最后一次“尝试”。固定搭配 take a chance 意为“冒险，尝试”。由此可知，故选 A 项。 50.B【解析】indication 指示；response 回应；freedom 自由；tension 紧张。根据前文 “他对此没有抱太大期望”，可知，他没想到会有“回应”。由此可知，故选 B 项。 51.D【解析】remain 保持；change 改变；appear 出现；explode 爆红。根据后文 “获得了超过43万的观看量”，可知，视频在网上“爆红”了。由此可知，故选 D 项。 52.B【解析】curious 好奇的；warm 热情的；sharp 尖锐的；brief 简短的。根据后文 “顾客开始到来”，可知，视频下是成千上万条“热情的”评论。由此可知，故选 B 项。 53.A【解析】support 支持；invite 邀请；locate 定位；impress 给……留下印象。根据前文 “顾客开始从很远的地方来”，可知，只是为了“支持”他。由此可知，故选 A 项。 54.C【解析】trial 审判；protest 抗议；need 需求；standard 标准。根据前文 “受到鼓舞，他更加努力地工作以应对不断增长的……”，可知，此处指不断增长的“需求”。由此可知，故选 C 项。 55.D【解析】repeat 重复；offer 提供；mean 意味着；take 需要。根据前文 “有时，所需要的只是一个瞬间”，可知，此处指“需要”。固定搭配 all it takes is... 意为“所需要的只是……”。由此可知，故选 D 项。 四、语法填空 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章以瑞幸咖啡入驻美国曼哈顿市场为切入点，介绍了中美咖啡市场的发展与文化交融，展现了国货咖啡品牌走向世界、输出中国特色饮食文化的全新趋势。 56.an【解析】考查冠词。此处泛指一次鼓舞人心的文化交流，为首次提及。修饰词inspiring以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an。故填an。 57.to suit【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处用动词不定式作目的状语，星巴克调整饮品口味的目的是适配中国本土消费者的口味，符合不定式表目的的用法。故填to suit。 58.had hit【解析】考查动词时态。时间状语“By 2024”意为“到2024年为止”，是过去完成时的典型标志，强调截止到过去某一时间已经完成的动作，故用had hit。故填had hit。 59.Founded【解析】考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语动词is，此处为过去分词作状语。逻辑主语Luckin与found（创立）之间为被动关系，且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Founded。 60.for【解析】考查介词。固定搭配stand out for... 意为“因……脱颖而出、因……出众”，是固定短语，贴合句意。故填for。 61.making【解析】考查非谓语动词。本句已有完整主句，此处为现在分词作结果状语。前文手机快速下单支付的行为，与make为主动关系，表自然而然的结果。故填making。 62.economic【解析】考查形容词。此处需要形容词修饰名词growth，作前置定语。economy的形容词形式economic意为“经济的”，economic growth为固定搭配，意为“经济增长”。故填economic。 63.actively【解析】考查副词。此处需要副词修饰动词introduces，作状语。active的副词形式为actively，意为“积极地”。故填actively。 64.where【解析】考查定语从句。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为表地点的the U.S. market，关系词在从句中充当地点状语，指代“在美国市场”，应用关系副词where。故填where。 65.expansion【解析】考查名词。空前有形容词性物主代词its修饰，此处需要名词作句子主语。expand的名词形式为expansion，意为“扩张、拓展”。故填expansion。 五、应用文写作 66. Dear Sir or Madam, I’m writing to offer my suggestion for the new column of the school website. Between the two choices, I firmly prefer “Growing Pains”. As high school students, we are all faced with various troubles in study and life. This column can offer us a platform to share our worries and seek advice from teachers and peers. Besides, it helps students relieve pressure and understand each other better. Compared with looking back on the past, focusing on our growth is more meaningful to us. I hope my suggestion will be adopted. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 六、读后续写 67. 参考例文 When Axel was away, I gently broke the news to the class. A stunned silence fell over Room 101. Charles looked especially sad, his shoulders dropping. One student murmured, “But he taught me turkey calls!” Then came another voice, “Who’ll help me with peaches?” Suddenly, Charles sprang to his feet and yelled, “We can’t let him leave like this!” Others nodded hard, voices mixed, “Yeah, we should do something for him!” Watching them silently and smilingly, I felt a sense of warmth and pride sweeping over me. Within minutes, they made a decision: everyone would bring something meaningful by tomorrow morning. The next morning, to Axel’s surprise, piles of gifts were lying on his desk. Colorfully wrapped presents, handmade cards... Slowly approaching, with trembling hands, Axel picked up a card signed by the whole class, tears rolling down his cheeks, “Thanks, kids. Really.” Charles stepped forward and hugged him tightly, saying, “Thank you, Axel. Friends never say goodbye!” All others gathered around, eyes filled with tears. Axel looked around at the faces, the once unfriendly “lions” softened. I knew, in that pile of gifts hid the greatest one — Axel’s kindness and love, which changed Room 101’s lions.   第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年下学期高二开学考试 英语 一、听力(共20小题,共30分) 1.（1.5分）Where does the conversation take place?

(共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.” The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours. The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!” Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they merely know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they haven’t figured out the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood. However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications. 24.（2.5分）Why does the author compare breathing patterns to fingerprints in paragraph 1?

B.They have found a clear causal relationship. C.They are confident it can be used for treatment. D.They believe mood entirely controls breathing. 27.（2.5分）What is the main finding of the study? A.Breathing patterns can identify individuals. B.Anxiety is linked to shorter inhalation periods. C.Breathing patterns reveal identity and health clues. D.A wearable device tracks nasal airflow continuously. (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) It is common to say something is as light as a feather (羽毛) to mean something doesn't weigh much. A group of researchers, however, has found that while all feathers are pretty light, some of them are far heavier than others, and it may be because of their color. Bird feathers come in all different colors ranging from black to white, and everything in between. The researchers wanted to know if there was a difference in how much a feather of one color weighed compared to that of another color. They studied 109 specimens (标本) of birds across 19 different species. The team investigated the melanin (黑色素) in feathers. Melanin has a fairly high molecular (分子的) mass, which means it becomes a not-insignificant part of the overall weight of the feather itself. There are two forms of melanin, one found in light brown and orange feathers and the other in black, grey and darker brown feathers. Once the researchers got the feathers they needed, they collected and purified the melanin in the feathers, then weighed the melanin and compared it with the weight of the feathers before the melanin was removed. They found the melanin accounted for 25% of the total dry mass of the feathers on average. For a species known for having very dark feathers, that went up to over 60% of the weight. People may think 25% of the weight of feathers is little. That being said, when it comes to flying, every bit counts. It's pointed out that migratory birds tend to have lighter colored feathers, which could help them fly over greater distances. More studies are needed to determine how this would affect a given species of bird, but it appears that the extra weight of darker feathers is at least one factor when it comes to how evolution progressed in different species of birds. 28.（2.5分）Why did the researchers conduct the study? A.To compare birds' different migratory patterns. B.To collect specimens of endangered bird species. C.To demonstrate the unknown functions of bird feathers. D.To figure out the link between feather color and feather weight. 29.（2.5分）What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The research procedure. B.The theoretical basis. C.The function of melanin. D.The formation of melanin. 30.（2.5分）What is the finding of the research? A.Color is the decisive factor of feather weight. B.Melanin content may influence the weight of feathers. C.Feathers account for a quarter of a bird's weight on average. D.The darker the feather is, the greater distances the bird flies. 31.（2.5分）What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Significance in Distinguishing Feathers B.The Evolution of Bird Feathers in Different Species C.The Association between feather Color and Its Weight D.The Effect of feather Color on Bird migration Distance (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) For someone trapped in the debris (废墟) after an earthquake, a rat might be an unwelcome sight. But one scientist has been training rats to act as first responders, equipping them with backpacks and tiny microphones so that they can lead humans to earthquake survivors. Dr Donna Kean was once interested in big animals, but her attention to rats grew when she saw how quickly rats could learn and how well they could be trained. “Rats have a similar sense of smell to dogs, and they’re just as trainable as dogs,” she said. “They also aren’t tied to just one trainer, which is what you find with dogs. And their size is useful because they are able to get into small spaces that dogs are just unable to get into.” They carry tiny bags with microphones in them and are being sent to the debris to find and come into contact with survivors. “There can be sounds coming from the bags that may say something like, ‘I am a rescue rat, I’m here to help you,’” Kean said, “which can be very helpful to those who are scared of the rat.” The rats have yet to face a real-life disaster but they will soon be sent to Turkey to work with the country’s search and rescue teams. At the moment, the rats are learning to make progress. The rats first start their training in a small empty room. And then they move on to increasingly challenging situations until they come close to the debris. That’s where they find the survivors and the chance to talk to them. The rats are the real focus now. They are so good at moving through all kinds of different environments, which just shows how suitable they are for search and rescue work. The work could save the lives of survivors, as well as rescuers, because it will give rescuers a better idea of where survivors are located before they enter the dangerous places. These little rats are on their way to making a big difference now. 32.（2.5分）What is the advantage of rats over dogs in rescue work? A.Their small size. B.Their team spirit. C.Their good sense of smell. D.Their strong strength. 33.（2.5分）What’s the purpose of rats’ carrying a backpack? A.To control the rats’ behavior in the task. B.To contact the survivors effectively. C.To lead the rats to the survivors directly. D.To provide food and water for the survivors. 34.（2.5分）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.The reasons for training rescue rats. B.The process of training rats for rescue work. C.The cooperation between rats and rescuers. D.The good performance of the rats in rescue work. 35.（2.5分）What does the author think of rats’ role in the rescue work? A.Uncertain. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Disapproving.

Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday.       36       I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”. Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle.       37       It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it. Why does this happen? At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it.       38       Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours. We project our identity onto the object, making it painful to move on. Fortunately, there is an effective counteraction: shifting your perspective from an “owner” to a “buyer”. When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?”       39       If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.       40       Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well. Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters. A.It just feels right to keep them. B.More often than not, the answer is “nothing”. C.Thus, a price gap exists between buyers and sellers. D.The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think. E.We often mistakenly believe these items define who we are. F.That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself. G.The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them. 三、完形填空(共15小题,共15分) (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 19-year-old Quinones is the owner of a taco (墨西哥夹饼) shop.

He wore sneakers three sizes too large and pants torn at the knees. Axel made an entrance into the school of a village known for its old money, fashionable homes and golden mailboxes. He told me his last school had been in a neighboring county. “We were picking fruit,” he said frankly. I suspected this friendly, smiling boy in rags from an immigrant family (移民家庭) didn’t know he had been thrown into a group of ten-year-old lions who had never before seen torn pants. The circle of boys tightened when Axel approached, their turned backs forming a solid wall. Despite being impolitely treated, Axel didn’t let on. There was no chip on his shoulder. They eyed Axel doubtfully until the baseball game. With it came a bit of respect from the critics (批评家) of Room 101. In the baseball game, Charles, the most overweight child in the class, was the least athletic. After Charles’s second strike, with the eyes and groans of the class, Axel inched up and spoke quietly to the boy’s depressed back, “Forget them, kid. You can do it.” Charles warmed, smiled, stood taller and quickly struck out anyway. But at that precise moment, Axel had gently begun to change things — and us. By autumn’s end, we had all been attracted by him. He taught us all kinds of lessons. How to call a wild turkey. How to tell whether fruit is ripe before that first bite. How to treat others, even Charles. Especially Charles. He never did use our names, calling me “Miss” and the students “kid”. The day before winter vacation, Axel walked to my desk and bent close to my ear. “Miss, my mother said we were moving to another place, so I need to leave school earlier today to pack up.” At the news, my voice caught in my throat. When Axel was away, I gently broke the news to the class. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ The next morning, to Axel’s surprise, piles of gifts were lying on his desk. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
