At the moment I’m doing research on the Island of Sardinia in Italy. Sardinia is an interesting place because most men live as long as women. That isn’t normal for most countries. Men normally die younger. What is the reason? In Sardinian culture, as men get older, they have fewer public and family duties, but the older mothers or grandmothers often have more. So, perhaps the older men have less stress, which means they’re living longer. It’s true that even on Sardinia the younger people are eating much fast food like sandwiches and hamburgers. Also young people are moving to the city, so they are doing less exercise because of their lifestyle. So, it will be interesting to come back to Sardinia in twenty or thirty years and see if people are still living longer... 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Healthy Breakfast Options for a Great Start Having a nutritious breakfast is vital for starting your day well.

The board praised Jia for applying practical, locally grounded solutions to a major environmental challenge, reflecting both creativity and the promise of China’s young scientific talent. Jia’s idea grew from his childhood experiences in Chifeng, a key area in China’s Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program (TSFP), the world’s largest afforestation project. He often watched newly planted saplings struggle to survive and wondered whether he could design something to help. The inspiration came in an unlikely place — the kitchen. One evening, he noticed steam condensing (冷凝) into droplets on the wall. A physics lesson resurfaced and he asked: “Could I use the same principle to collect water for saplings?” Back at school, Jia began designing a device that captures condensation from the air and channels it directly to a tree’s root zone. His device applies the principle of dew (露水) formation. Without linking to any external water sources, the temperature difference between the ground surface and the underground environment allows water vapor to condense into small droplets, which end up in the root zone. Jia’s award has electrified his hometown. One of the proudest observers is Chen Xuexun, who has spent 34 years fighting desertification. “Decades of work taught us that we cannot win this battle by manpower alone,” Chen said. “We need new ideas and young people like Jia.” For Jia, the medal is only a beginning. He is already working with a research team from Shanghai to refine his device. His goal is clear — to turn a kitchen-inspired idea into a practical tool in China’s ongoing fight against desertification. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jia Mingxuan design the device? A．To finish a school project. B．To show the youth’s prospect. C．To assist young trees in surviving. D．To practice his childhood experience. 25．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Jia Mingxuan? A．Patient and observant. B．Ambitious and modest. C．Realistic and confident. D．Responsible and creative. 26．(2.5分)What do Chen Xuexun’s words convey? A．More hands, more gains. B．Innovation and talent matter. C．The youth hold the nation’s future. D．Human effort can overcome natural forces. 27．(2.5分)What is Jia Mingxuan’s future plan? A．To further improve his invention. B．To join a research group in Shanghai. C．To win more awards in afforestation. D．To create more tools for water collection. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了14岁少年贾明轩希望解决家乡植树的困境，受到厨房现象的启发后，他发明了一种利用冷凝原理为树苗供水的装置，并在国际发明展获奖。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He often watched newly planted saplings struggle to survive and wondered whether he could design something to help. (他经常看到新栽种的树苗挣扎求生，并思考自己能否设计某种东西来帮忙。)”可知，贾明轩设计这个装置是为了帮助幼树存活。故选C项。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“He often watched newly planted saplings struggle to survive and wondered whether he could design something to help. (他经常看到新栽种的树苗挣扎求生，并思考自己能否设计某种东西来帮忙。)”、第三段中“A physics lesson resurfaced and he asked: “Could I use the same principle to collect water for saplings?” (一节物理课又浮现在眼前，他问道：“我能用同样的原理为树苗取水吗？”)”和第四段中“Back at school, Jia began designing a device that captures condensation from the air and channels it directly to a tree’s root zone. (回到学校后，贾明轩开始设计一种装置，该装置能够从空气中收集凝结物，并将其直接输送到树木的根部区域。)”可知，贾明轩的出发点是帮助幼树存活，在受到厨房现象的启发后，他设计出用冷凝原理为树苗供水的装置，这体现了他具有责任心和创造力。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据第五段中““Decades of work taught us that we cannot win this battle by manpower alone,” Chen said. “We need new ideas and young people like Jia.”(陈学勋说：“数十年的治沙工作让我们明白，这场攻坚战单靠人力是打不赢的，我们需要新的思路，也需要贾明轩这样的年轻人。”)”可知，陈学勋强调治沙行动需要新想法，需要有活力的年轻人。由此可知，创新和人才至关重要。故选B项。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He is already working with a research team from Shanghai to refine his device. His goal is clear — to turn a kitchen-inspired idea into a practical tool in China’s ongoing fight against desertification. (他已经在与上海的一个研究小组合作改进他的设备。他的目标很明确——将一个源自厨房的创意转化为中国持续对抗荒漠化斗争中的实用工具。)”可知，贾明轩未来的计划是进一步完善他的发明。故选A项。 （本题10分）Home cooks like it. Restaurants include it in new dishes. It’s chili crisp (油辣椒), and it’s highly popular in the food world. The Chinese condiment (辛辣调味品) is a kitchen powerhouse known for its many different uses and heat. But how did the must-have condiment get started? Originally from Central and South America, chilies were unknown in China until around the 16th century, when an increase in exploration and trade brought chilies to the Chinese mainland. The first written record of the chili in China dates from 1591. Gao Lian, who lived near what is now Shanghai and wrote plays, wasn’t all that excited about it as a condiment or a medicine. Instead, he used it as a decorative plant. But while wealthy Chinese enjoyed chilies in their decorative gardens, the masses began eating and enjoying the plants. By 1765, chilies were widely used in dishes. There’s even a recipe for chili crisp in The Harmonious Cauldron, the earliest Chinese cookbook to include chilies. Unlike other spices (调味品), chilies weren’t farmed and traded as goods. Instead, they were passed from person to person and grown in small fields, falling into the hands of skilled farmers who developed even better chilies over time. These chilies — and the condiment made by cooking them in oil — became must-have cooking materials all over China, becoming so widespread that they were considered part of the nation’s identity. By the 20th century, chilies cooked in oil were a standard in homes and restaurants. But though the condiment was brought to the United States and served at Chinese restaurants, it was not until 1997 that chili crisp was produced and sold widely. That year, Tao Huabi began selling Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp from China’s Guizhou Province. Over time, chili crisp has built a strong following around the world. “You can learn a lot about a culture through food,” said Brian Dott, author of The Chile Pepper in China: A Cultural Biography. It seems the condiment won’t stop bringing the heat any time soon. 28．(2.5分)What did Gao Lian think of the chili? A．It was a powerful medicine. B．It was a must-have condiment. C．It was a popular food. D．It was a nice decoration. 29．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The introduction of chilies to China. B．The development of chilies in China. C．The influence of chilies on Chinese trade. D．The popularity of chilies among wealthy Chinese. 30．(2.5分)What did Tao Huabi do in 1997? A．She brought chili crisp to market. B．She wrote a cookbook about chilies. C．She used chili crisp in her restaurants. D．She planted chilies throughout Guizhou. 31．(2.5分)What can we infer from the passage? A．Chilies were first used as food by wealthy people in China. B．Lao Gan Ma helped make chili crisp known worldwide. C．Chili crisp is only popular in Chinese restaurants. D．Chilies have been in China for over 600 years. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．A 31．B 【导语】本文梳理了中国特色调味品——油辣椒的起源与发展历程。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第三段“Gao Lian, who lived near what is now Shanghai and wrote plays, wasn’t all that excited about it as a condiment or a medicine. Instead, he used it as a decorative plant.(高濂住在现在上海附近，他写戏曲，他对它作为调味品或药物并不那么兴奋。相反，他把它当作装饰植物使用)”可知，高濂将辣椒用作装饰。 29．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Unlike other spices (调味品), chilies weren’t farmed and traded as goods. Instead, they were passed from person to person and grown in small fields, falling into the hands of skilled farmers who developed even better chilies over time. These chilies — and the condiment made by cooking them in oil — became must-have cooking materials all over China, becoming so widespread that they were considered part of the nation’s identity.(和其他调味品不同，辣椒并未作为商品种植和交易。相反，辣椒在民户间传播，在小块田地里种植，落到经验丰富的农民手中，随着时间推移逐步培育出了更优良的辣椒。这些辣椒，以及用油榨制而成的辛辣调味品，成为了全中国必不可少的烹饪原料，分布之广让它被认为是中国民族身份认同的一部分)”可知，第四段主要介绍了辣椒传入中国后在民间逐步发展、普及的过程，因此本段主要内容是辣椒在中国的发展。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段“it was not until 1997 that chili crisp was produced and sold widely. That year, Tao Huabi began selling Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp from China’s Guizhou Province.(直到1997年，油辣椒才开始大规模生产和售卖。同年，陶华碧开始售卖产自中国贵州的老干妈油辣椒)”可知，1997年陶华碧将油辣椒推向市场大规模售卖。 31．推理判断题。根据第五段“That year, Tao Huabi began selling Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp from China’s Guizhou Province. Over time, chili crisp has built a strong following around the world.(同年，陶华碧开始售卖产自中国贵州的老干妈油辣椒。久而久之，油辣椒在全球收获了大批爱好者)”可推知，老干妈品牌推动了油辣椒在世界范围内的知名度。 （本题10分）Chosin Reservoir is a man-made lake located in the northeast of North Korea. The name Chosin is the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean place named Changjin, and the name stuck due to the outdated Japanese maps used by United Nations forces during the Korean War. The Chosin Reservoir was the site of a critical battle in the Korean War. In November 1950, Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War on the side of North Korea and thoroughly destroyed three divisions of American forces between the Chosin Reservoir and Hungnam. It’s the worst defeat American forces had seen since the Battle of Bataan during World War Ⅱ, which led US President Harry Truman to ultimately approve the use of atomic (原子的) bombs in Japan. The battle was fought over some of the roughest terrain (地形). The road was created by cutting through the hilly terrain of Korea, with steep climbs and drops. Main peaks, such as the Funchilin Pass and the Toktong Pass, overlook the entire length of the road. The road’s quality was poor, and in some places it was reduced to a narrow path. The battle was also fought during the hardest winter weather conditions in Korea. On 14 November, a cold front from Siberia moved across the Chosin Reservoir, and the temperature suddenly dropped to as low as -37°C． The cold weather was accompanied by frozen ground, creating considerable danger of being frozen to death, icy roads, and weapon failures. Medical supplies froze; injections had to be warmed in a nurse’s mouth before they could be injected; frozen blood plasma (血浆) was useless on the battlefield. Batteries used for the telegraphs and radios did not function properly in the temperature and quickly ran down. 32．(2.5分)What is Chosin Reservoir famous for? A．Its special location. B．Its various names. C．The Korean War. D．A film with the same name. 33．(2.5分)Which caused the use of atomic bombs in Japan? A．.North Korea defeated .South Korea. B．Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War. C．US President Harry Truman failed to be reelected. D．US suffered the worst defeat in the Battle of Bataan. 34．(2.5分)Which can be the best key word of Paragraph 3? A．Climates. B．Sceneries. C．Causes. D．Geographies. 35．(2.5分)What makes the cruelty of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir? A．The bravery of Chinese troops. B．America’s advanced weapons. C．The freezing cold weather. D．The rough waters of the lake. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．D 35．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍长津湖的名称由来，讲述其作为朝鲜战争关键战场的战况，以及战役所处的恶劣地形与严寒天气条件。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“The Chosin Reservoir was the site of a critical battle in the Korean War.(长津湖是朝鲜战争中的一场关键战役的发生地)”可知，长津湖因朝鲜战争中的关键战役而闻名。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段“In November 1950, Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War on the side of North Korea and thoroughly destroyed three divisions of American forces between the Chosin Reservoir and Hungnam. It’s the worst defeat American forces had seen since the Battle of Bataan during World War Ⅱ, which led US President Harry Truman to ultimately approve the use of atomic (原子的) bombs in Japan.(1950年11月，中国人民志愿军在朝鲜战争中参战，并彻底摧毁了位于长津湖和兴南之间的美军三个师的防线。这是自二战期间巴丹半岛战役以来，美军所遭遇的最惨重的失败，巴丹半岛战役的失利也促使美国总统哈里·杜鲁门最终批准在日本使用原子弹)”可知，美国在巴丹战役中遭受了最惨重的失败导致了在日本使用原子弹。故选D。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段“The battle was fought over some of the roughest terrain (地形). The road was created by cutting through the hilly terrain of Korea, with steep climbs and drops. Main peaks, such as the Funchilin Pass and the Toktong Pass, overlook the entire length of the road. The road’s quality was poor, and in some places it was reduced to a narrow path.(这场战斗是在一些最为崎岖的地形中进行的。这条道路是通过穿越朝鲜半岛北部的丘陵地带而建成的，那里有陡峭的山坡和深谷。像丰奇林山口和托通山口这样的主要山口俯瞰着整条道路的全貌。道路的质量很差，在某些地方甚至缩减成了狭窄的小径)”可知，第三段的最佳关键词是地理。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据第四段“The cold weather was accompanied by frozen ground, creating considerable danger of being frozen to death, icy roads, and weapon failures. Medical supplies froze; injections had to be warmed in a nurse’s mouth before they could be injected; frozen blood plasma (血浆) was useless on the battlefield. Batteries used for the telegraphs and radios did not function properly in the temperature and quickly ran down.(寒冷的天气伴随着冰冻的地面，这带来了极大的危险，比如可能会被冻死、道路结冰以及武器失灵。医疗用品都结冰了；注射剂必须先在护士的嘴里变热后再进行注射；冻结的血浆在战场上毫无用处。用于电报和无线电的电池在低温环境下无法正常工作，很快就会耗尽电量)”可知，寒冷的天气导致了长津湖战役的残酷性。故选C。 （本题12.5分）Have you ever noticed how peaceful the world seems after a good snowfall and how quiet falls over the landscape whenever it snows? 36(2.5分) Actually, snow does make the world quieter. Some of the newfound quiet after a snowfall is logical. People tend to stay home and there are fewer cars on the road. And birds also keep quiet in their nests during snowstorms. 37(2.5分) Snow absorbs sound, so when a fresh blanket of snow covers the landscape, it absorbs many of the sound waves, making it seem quieter outside, according to AccuWeather. Sound absorption is rated on a scale of 0 to 1, AccuWeather reports. Something with a sound absorption rating of 0.5 absorbs 50 percent of sound, for example. The sound absorption rating of snow falls somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9. 38(2.5分) However, not all snowfalls are equal when it comes to silencing the world outside. 39(2.5分) Usually a few inches of snow is needed to have a noticeable quieting effect, according to AccuWeather. 40(2.5分) The reason? The snowflakes change shape as they melt, reducing the size of the spaces between the crystals. As temperatures fluctuate (波动) in winter, newly fallen snow can partially melt and then freeze. Once the snow turns into ice, it can actually increase nearby sounds because ice reflects sound waves rather than absorbing them. A．It’s not your mind playing tricks on you. B．There’s science behind the silence as well. C．As snow melts, it loses its silencing ability. D．So silence after a fresh snowfall is temporary. E．That means it absorbs much of the surrounding sound. F．Just a dusting of snow isn’t enough to absorb much sound. G．It’s better to experience the quiet than just admire it indoors. 【答案】36．A 37．B 38．E 39．F 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了下雪后世界会变得更安静的科学原理，以及雪的消音效果会受降雪量和融化状态影响的相关知识。 【详解】36．由上文“Have you ever noticed how peaceful the world seems after a good snowfall and how quiet falls over the landscape whenever it snows?(你有没有注意到，一场大雪过后，世界会变得格外宁静，下雪的时候，整个大地也会笼罩在一片静谧之中？)” 以及下文“Actually, snow does make the world quieter.(事实上，雪确实会让世界变得更安静)” 可知，本空要承接上文的疑问，否定“是自己的错觉”这一可能。A选项“It’s not your mind playing tricks on you.(这不是你的错觉)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“not your mind playing tricks”与下文的“Actually, snow does make the world quieter”相呼应，确认下雪后变安静是客观事实。故选A。 37．由上文“Some of the newfound quiet after a snowfall is logical. People tend to stay home and there are fewer cars on the road. And birds also keep quiet in their nests during snowstorms.(下雪后变得安静，一部分原因是合乎常理的。人们往往会待在家里，路上的车辆也会减少。而且暴风雪期间，鸟儿也会在巢里安静待着)”以及下文“Snow absorbs sound, so when a fresh blanket of snow covers the landscape, it absorbs many of the sound waves, making it seem quieter outside(雪具有吸音的作用，所以当一层新雪覆盖大地时，它会吸收许多声波，让外面的环境听起来更安静)”可知，本空要引出下雪后变安静的另一个原因——科学原理。B选项“There’s science behind the silence as well.(这种静谧背后还有科学原理)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“science behind the silence”与下文的“Snow absorbs sound”成指代关系。故选B。 38．由上文“Sound absorption is rated on a scale of 0 to 1(吸音能力的评分范围是0到1)”和“The sound absorption rating of snow falls somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9.(雪的吸音评分在0.5到0.9之间)”可知，本空要对雪的吸音评分数据进行总结，说明其实际吸音效果。E选项“That means it absorbs much of the surrounding sound.(这意味着它能吸收周围大部分的声音)”能承接上文，符合题意，该选项中的“That”指代上文的吸音评分数据，且“absorbs much of the surrounding sound”是对评分数据的直观解读。故选E。 39．由上文“However, not all snowfalls are equal when it comes to silencing the world outside.(然而，并非所有的降雪都能同等程度地让外界变得安静)”以及下文“Usually a few inches of snow is needed to have a noticeable quieting effect(通常需要几英寸厚的积雪才能产生明显的消音效果)” 可知，本空要说明少量降雪的消音效果不佳。F选项“Just a dusting of snow isn’t enough to absorb much sound.(薄薄的一层雪不足以吸收太多声音)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“a dusting of snow isn’t enough”与下文的“a few inches of snow is needed”相呼应，体现降雪量对消音效果的影响。故选F。 40．由下文“The reason? The snowflakes change shape as they melt, reducing the size of the spaces between the crystals(原因是什么呢？雪花融化时会改变形状，减小冰晶之间的空隙)”和“Once the snow turns into ice, it can actually increase nearby sounds(一旦雪变成冰，它实际上还会放大周围的声音)”可知，本空要提出核心观点——雪融化后会失去消音能力。C选项“As snow melts, it loses its silencing ability.(雪融化后，就会失去消音能力)”能引出下文，符合题意，该选项中的“snow melts”与下文的“The snowflakes change shape as they melt”相呼应，是下文解释的核心前提。故选C。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I grew up around logging (伐木) camps.

When you think of a fearsome hunter, images of lions and sharks may spring 56(1.5分) mind. Recent research by 57(1.5分) (environment) scientists, however, shows that in fact, humans are the most fearsome hunters 58(1.5分) have the greatest impact on animal populations. In the last 500 years, over 300 species of animals 59(1.5分) (go) extinct. Some activities, such as hunting and fishing, 60(1.5分) (direct) harm animals, while other activities, such as development in towns and cities, impact indirectly on animal populations. Hunting and fishing have influenced the world’s animal populations. Some people hunt animals for food: whale meat 61(1.5分) (eat) in some parts of the world. Some people hunt animals for fashion: animal skin is used to make coats and bags. Still others hunt animals just for fun: deer are tracked 62(1.5分) shot by people who enjoy the excitement of the sport. Human activities that have indirect effects on animals can be just as harmful. When we build farms or factories, we destroy animal habitats and leave many animals with nowhere 63(1.5分) (live), or no food to eat. We can also put animals in danger without ever entering their habitats. Air, water, noise and light pollution can all have a deep and 64(1.5分) (damage) influence quite far from their source. Partly due to pollution 65(1.5分) (cause) by ship traffic and other human activities, the dolphin population has dropped greatly. As the human population continues to grow, so does the effect we have on animals. 【答案】 56．to 57．environmental 58．who/that 59．have gone 60．directly 61．is eaten 62．and 63．to live 64．damaging 65．caused 【导语】文章指出人类活动对动物种群造成了巨大危害，人类才是最可怕的猎手；随着人口增长，这种影响还在不断加剧，已导致大量物种灭绝。 【详解】56．考查介词。句意：当你想到可怕的猎手时，脑海中可能会浮现狮子和鲨鱼的形象。结合“spring”和“mind”可知，此处应用固定短语spring to mind，意为“突然出现在脑海中”。 57．考查形容词。句意：然而，环境科学家的最新研究表明，事实上人类才是最可怕的猎手，对动物种群的影响最大。空处作修饰scientists的定语，形容词environmental符合题意，意为“环境的”。 58．考查定语从句。句意：然而，环境科学家的最新研究表明，事实上人类才是最可怕的猎手，对动物种群的影响最大。空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词hunters，先行词指人，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who或that作引导词。 59．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去500年里，有超过300种动物已经灭绝。空处作句子的谓语，时间状语“In the last 500 years”常与现在完成时连用，且主语over 300 species of animals是复数，助动词应用have。 60．考查副词。句意：一些活动，比如狩猎和捕鱼，直接伤害动物；而另一些活动，比如城镇和城市开发，则间接影响动物种群。空处修饰动词harm，结合后面的“indirectly”可知，副词directly符合题意，意为“直接地”。 61．考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：有些人为了食物而捕猎动物：在世界上某些地方，鲸鱼肉被食用。空处作句子的谓语，此处在描述一般事实，用一般现在时，eat“吃”和主语whale meat之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且主语是不可数名词，be动词应用is。 62．考查连词。句意：还有些人只是为了娱乐而捕猎动物：鹿被那些享受运动刺激的人追踪并射杀。空处连接前后两个动作tracked和shot，两者之间是顺承关系，应用并列连词and。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：当我们建造农场或工厂时，我们破坏了动物的栖息地，使许多动物无处可住，或无食物可吃。结合后面的“or no food to eat”可知，此处是平行结构，空处应用不定式短语to live作定语修饰nowhere。 64．考查形容词。句意：空气、水、噪音和光污染都能在远离其源头的地方产生深远而具有破坏性的影响。空处和deep并列，作修饰influence的定语，形容词damaging符合题意，意为“有破坏性的”。 65．考查非谓语动词。句意：部分由于船只交通和其他人类活动造成的污染，海豚数量已大幅下降。句子已有谓语，空处是非谓语，作pollution的后置定语，cause“造成”和pollution逻辑上是被动关系，因此用过去分词形式caused。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你的爱尔兰朋友Jim将随父母来中国旅行。请你给他写一封邮件推荐一个旅游去处，内容包括： 1. 推荐的去处； 2. 推荐的理由。 注意：写作词数应为 80个左右。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m glad to know that you and your family will come to visit China.

As they were admiring the tree, the screen door opened and out stepped Grandma Mei, bathed in the warm Florida sunlight. Grandma Mei, who came from the province of Guangdong in China, was known for her green thumb, particularly when it came to lychees. Seeing her granddaughter, Grandma Mei adjusted her baseball cap and asked if Lily was ready for some lychees. But Lily hesitated, for the fruit’s appearance was unlike any other fruit she had tried before. With a laugh, Grandma Mei gave her a gentle hug. “More lychees for me then, John,” Grandma Mei said. “Let’s get busy!” John said with enthusiasm, rubbing his hands together. “Family tree’s waiting.” Hearing Dad calling the tree by name, Lily couldn’t help laughing. “Laugh if you want, Lily, but this tree is really family. On cold nights, before family tree was fully grown, Grandma Mei used to take my blanket and throw it over that tree.” Grandma Mei nodded, adding that she had to protect the tree from bad weather so that it would become a big strong tree and grow fruit for the whole family. John, eager to start the day’s work, began climbing the tree, determined to harvest the best lychees for the family. Lily watched in amazement, noticing the clusters (簇) of lychees, their skin rough yet inviting. As John skillfully cut through the branches with a cutter, Lily expressed her concern for the well-being of the tree. John explained to her that cutting the ends of branches won’t hurt family tree. Instead such behaviour made it healthier and stronger. 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。 Lily’s hesitation towards the fruit gradually shifted to curiosity and she wanted to try it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Lily’s hesitation towards the fruit gradually shifted to curiosity and she wanted to try it. After John continued to climb higher and pick more lychees, she approached Grandma and asked shyly, “Can you show me how to take the spiky skin off the lychee, Grandma?” Grandma Mei smiled with delight. With practiced hands, she took the skin off to show the juicy fruit beneath. “Here you go, dear,” she handed it to Lily. The initial taste made Lily’s face light up in surprise. The sweetness was unlike any other fruit she had tried before. Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees. Grandma Mei shared stories of her homeland, Guangdong, and how the tradition of growing lychees was passed down in their family. John told his childhood days, climbing and playing around the same tree. Lily, now a new fan of the fruit, listened attentively, her hands busy with another lychee, understanding the deeper roots of her family’s legacy. The family tree, standing tall, silently witnessed another beautiful day binding the generations together even more tightly. 【导语】文章以荔枝树为线索展开，讲述了John开车带着Lily来到Mei奶奶家的车道时，那棵熟悉的荔枝树迎接了他们。看到孙女，奶奶问Lily是否要吃荔枝。John热情地要行动起来摘荔枝。John，急于开始一天的工作，开始爬树，决心为家人收获最好的荔枝。当John熟练地用割刀剪断树枝时，Lily表达了她对这棵树健康状况的关心。John向她解释说，剪掉树枝的末端不会伤害到荔枝树。相反，这种行为使它更健康、更强壮。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Lily对水果的犹豫逐渐变成了好奇，她想尝尝。”可知，第一段可描写Lily初次品尝荔枝的过程和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“下午晚些时候，他们都坐在树下，周围是装满荔枝的盒子，分享与荔枝有关的故事。”可知，第二段可描写奶奶和爸爸跟Lily分享故事的过程以及Lily的反应。 2.续写线索：爸爸摘了很多荔枝——Lily询问奶奶荔枝的吃法——奶奶剥下果皮并递给Lily——荔枝的味道让Lily感到惊讶——奶奶和爸爸分享与荔枝有关的故事——Lily专心听讲——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 继续做某事：continue to do sth./proceed to do sth. 面露喜色：light up/beam with delight 忙于做某事：be busy with sth./be occupied with sth. 情绪类 惊讶地：in surprise/in astonishment 专心地：attentively/intently 【点睛】[高分句型1] Grandma Mei shared stories of her homeland, Guangdong, and how the tradition of growing lychees was passed down in their family.（运用了how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] John told his childhood days, climbing and playing around the same tree.（运用了现在分词作状语） 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 6 At One with Nature（较难版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）Where does the conversation probably take place?

The board praised Jia for applying practical, locally grounded solutions to a major environmental challenge, reflecting both creativity and the promise of China’s young scientific talent. Jia’s idea grew from his childhood experiences in Chifeng, a key area in China’s Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program (TSFP), the world’s largest afforestation project. He often watched newly planted saplings struggle to survive and wondered whether he could design something to help. The inspiration came in an unlikely place — the kitchen. One evening, he noticed steam condensing (冷凝) into droplets on the wall. A physics lesson resurfaced and he asked: “Could I use the same principle to collect water for saplings?” Back at school, Jia began designing a device that captures condensation from the air and channels it directly to a tree’s root zone. His device applies the principle of dew (露水) formation. Without linking to any external water sources, the temperature difference between the ground surface and the underground environment allows water vapor to condense into small droplets, which end up in the root zone. Jia’s award has electrified his hometown. One of the proudest observers is Chen Xuexun, who has spent 34 years fighting desertification. “Decades of work taught us that we cannot win this battle by manpower alone,” Chen said. “We need new ideas and young people like Jia.” For Jia, the medal is only a beginning. He is already working with a research team from Shanghai to refine his device. His goal is clear — to turn a kitchen-inspired idea into a practical tool in China’s ongoing fight against desertification. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jia Mingxuan design the device? A．To finish a school project. B．To show the youth’s prospect. C．To assist young trees in surviving. D．To practice his childhood experience. 25．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Jia Mingxuan? A．Patient and observant. B．Ambitious and modest. C．Realistic and confident. D．Responsible and creative. 26．(2.5分)What do Chen Xuexun’s words convey? A．More hands, more gains. B．Innovation and talent matter. C．The youth hold the nation’s future. D．Human effort can overcome natural forces. 27．(2.5分)What is Jia Mingxuan’s future plan? A．To further improve his invention. B．To join a research group in Shanghai. C．To win more awards in afforestation. D．To create more tools for water collection. （本题10分）Home cooks like it. Restaurants include it in new dishes. It’s chili crisp (油辣椒), and it’s highly popular in the food world. The Chinese condiment (辛辣调味品) is a kitchen powerhouse known for its many different uses and heat. But how did the must-have condiment get started? Originally from Central and South America, chilies were unknown in China until around the 16th century, when an increase in exploration and trade brought chilies to the Chinese mainland. The first written record of the chili in China dates from 1591. Gao Lian, who lived near what is now Shanghai and wrote plays, wasn’t all that excited about it as a condiment or a medicine. Instead, he used it as a decorative plant. But while wealthy Chinese enjoyed chilies in their decorative gardens, the masses began eating and enjoying the plants. By 1765, chilies were widely used in dishes. There’s even a recipe for chili crisp in The Harmonious Cauldron, the earliest Chinese cookbook to include chilies. Unlike other spices (调味品), chilies weren’t farmed and traded as goods. Instead, they were passed from person to person and grown in small fields, falling into the hands of skilled farmers who developed even better chilies over time. These chilies — and the condiment made by cooking them in oil — became must-have cooking materials all over China, becoming so widespread that they were considered part of the nation’s identity. By the 20th century, chilies cooked in oil were a standard in homes and restaurants. But though the condiment was brought to the United States and served at Chinese restaurants, it was not until 1997 that chili crisp was produced and sold widely. That year, Tao Huabi began selling Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp from China’s Guizhou Province. Over time, chili crisp has built a strong following around the world. “You can learn a lot about a culture through food,” said Brian Dott, author of The Chile Pepper in China: A Cultural Biography. It seems the condiment won’t stop bringing the heat any time soon. 28．(2.5分)What did Gao Lian think of the chili? A．It was a powerful medicine. B．It was a must-have condiment. C．It was a popular food. D．It was a nice decoration. 29．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The introduction of chilies to China. B．The development of chilies in China. C．The influence of chilies on Chinese trade. D．The popularity of chilies among wealthy Chinese. 30．(2.5分)What did Tao Huabi do in 1997? A．She brought chili crisp to market. B．She wrote a cookbook about chilies. C．She used chili crisp in her restaurants. D．She planted chilies throughout Guizhou. 31．(2.5分)What can we infer from the passage? A．Chilies were first used as food by wealthy people in China. B．Lao Gan Ma helped make chili crisp known worldwide. C．Chili crisp is only popular in Chinese restaurants. D．Chilies have been in China for over 600 years. （本题10分）Chosin Reservoir is a man-made lake located in the northeast of North Korea. The name Chosin is the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean place named Changjin, and the name stuck due to the outdated Japanese maps used by United Nations forces during the Korean War. The Chosin Reservoir was the site of a critical battle in the Korean War. In November 1950, Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War on the side of North Korea and thoroughly destroyed three divisions of American forces between the Chosin Reservoir and Hungnam. It’s the worst defeat American forces had seen since the Battle of Bataan during World War Ⅱ, which led US President Harry Truman to ultimately approve the use of atomic (原子的) bombs in Japan. The battle was fought over some of the roughest terrain (地形). The road was created by cutting through the hilly terrain of Korea, with steep climbs and drops. Main peaks, such as the Funchilin Pass and the Toktong Pass, overlook the entire length of the road. The road’s quality was poor, and in some places it was reduced to a narrow path. The battle was also fought during the hardest winter weather conditions in Korea. On 14 November, a cold front from Siberia moved across the Chosin Reservoir, and the temperature suddenly dropped to as low as -37°C． The cold weather was accompanied by frozen ground, creating considerable danger of being frozen to death, icy roads, and weapon failures. Medical supplies froze; injections had to be warmed in a nurse’s mouth before they could be injected; frozen blood plasma (血浆) was useless on the battlefield. Batteries used for the telegraphs and radios did not function properly in the temperature and quickly ran down. 32．(2.5分)What is Chosin Reservoir famous for? A．Its special location. B．Its various names. C．The Korean War. D．A film with the same name. 33．(2.5分)Which caused the use of atomic bombs in Japan? A．.North Korea defeated .South Korea. B．Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War. C．US President Harry Truman failed to be reelected. D．US suffered the worst defeat in the Battle of Bataan. 34．(2.5分)Which can be the best key word of Paragraph 3? A．Climates. B．Sceneries. C．Causes. D．Geographies. 35．(2.5分)What makes the cruelty of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir? A．The bravery of Chinese troops. B．America’s advanced weapons. C．The freezing cold weather. D．The rough waters of the lake. （本题12.5分）Have you ever noticed how peaceful the world seems after a good snowfall and how quiet falls over the landscape whenever it snows? 36(2.5分) Actually, snow does make the world quieter. Some of the newfound quiet after a snowfall is logical. People tend to stay home and there are fewer cars on the road. And birds also keep quiet in their nests during snowstorms. 37(2.5分) Snow absorbs sound, so when a fresh blanket of snow covers the landscape, it absorbs many of the sound waves, making it seem quieter outside, according to AccuWeather. Sound absorption is rated on a scale of 0 to 1, AccuWeather reports. Something with a sound absorption rating of 0.5 absorbs 50 percent of sound, for example. The sound absorption rating of snow falls somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9. 38(2.5分) However, not all snowfalls are equal when it comes to silencing the world outside. 39(2.5分) Usually a few inches of snow is needed to have a noticeable quieting effect, according to AccuWeather. 40(2.5分) The reason? The snowflakes change shape as they melt, reducing the size of the spaces between the crystals. As temperatures fluctuate (波动) in winter, newly fallen snow can partially melt and then freeze. Once the snow turns into ice, it can actually increase nearby sounds because ice reflects sound waves rather than absorbing them. A．It’s not your mind playing tricks on you. B．There’s science behind the silence as well. C．As snow melts, it loses its silencing ability. D．So silence after a fresh snowfall is temporary. E．That means it absorbs much of the surrounding sound. F．Just a dusting of snow isn’t enough to absorb much sound. G．It’s better to experience the quiet than just admire it indoors. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I grew up around logging (伐木) camps.

When you think of a fearsome hunter, images of lions and sharks may spring 56(1.5分) mind. Recent research by 57(1.5分) (environment) scientists, however, shows that in fact, humans are the most fearsome hunters 58(1.5分) have the greatest impact on animal populations. In the last 500 years, over 300 species of animals 59(1.5分) (go) extinct. Some activities, such as hunting and fishing, 60(1.5分) (direct) harm animals, while other activities, such as development in towns and cities, impact indirectly on animal populations. Hunting and fishing have influenced the world’s animal populations. Some people hunt animals for food: whale meat 61(1.5分) (eat) in some parts of the world. Some people hunt animals for fashion: animal skin is used to make coats and bags. Still others hunt animals just for fun: deer are tracked 62(1.5分) shot by people who enjoy the excitement of the sport. Human activities that have indirect effects on animals can be just as harmful. When we build farms or factories, we destroy animal habitats and leave many animals with nowhere 63(1.5分) (live), or no food to eat. We can also put animals in danger without ever entering their habitats. Air, water, noise and light pollution can all have a deep and 64(1.5分) (damage) influence quite far from their source. Partly due to pollution 65(1.5分) (cause) by ship traffic and other human activities, the dolphin population has dropped greatly. As the human population continues to grow, so does the effect we have on animals. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你的爱尔兰朋友Jim将随父母来中国旅行。请你给他写一封邮件推荐一个旅游去处，内容包括： 1. 推荐的去处； 2. 推荐的理由。 注意：写作词数应为 80个左右。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 When John pulled into his mother’s driveway with his young daughter, Lily, the sight of the familiar lychee (荔枝) tree welcomed them. “Look, Lily,” John said, pointing to the towering tree in the front yard. “It’s the family tree.” Lily smiled as John treated the tree as if it were a real family member, patting its trunk (树干) affectionately. As they were admiring the tree, the screen door opened and out stepped Grandma Mei, bathed in the warm Florida sunlight. Grandma Mei, who came from the province of Guangdong in China, was known for her green thumb, particularly when it came to lychees. Seeing her granddaughter, Grandma Mei adjusted her baseball cap and asked if Lily was ready for some lychees. But Lily hesitated, for the fruit’s appearance was unlike any other fruit she had tried before. With a laugh, Grandma Mei gave her a gentle hug. “More lychees for me then, John,” Grandma Mei said. “Let’s get busy!” John said with enthusiasm, rubbing his hands together. “Family tree’s waiting.” Hearing Dad calling the tree by name, Lily couldn’t help laughing. “Laugh if you want, Lily, but this tree is really family. On cold nights, before family tree was fully grown, Grandma Mei used to take my blanket and throw it over that tree.” Grandma Mei nodded, adding that she had to protect the tree from bad weather so that it would become a big strong tree and grow fruit for the whole family. John, eager to start the day’s work, began climbing the tree, determined to harvest the best lychees for the family. Lily watched in amazement, noticing the clusters (簇) of lychees, their skin rough yet inviting. As John skillfully cut through the branches with a cutter, Lily expressed her concern for the well-being of the tree. John explained to her that cutting the ends of branches won’t hurt family tree. Instead such behaviour made it healthier and stronger. 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。 Lily’s hesitation towards the fruit gradually shifted to curiosity and she wanted to try it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
