In Yerramala Palle, a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district, a young girl, who once threw a cricket (板球) ball into the air, never knew that the seemingly small act would one day make a big difference and transform her entire life. Raised in an ordinary home with her parents and elder sister, Shree Charani tried every sport she could: badminton, athletics, and cricket. “I started playing cricket when I was in first or second grade. I didn’t really know why I liked it so much,” she recalled. “Everyone in my family loved the sport, and that was how it all began for me. Around seventh grade, my father bought me my first cricket kit.” Charani’s daily existence was entirely devoted to practice and training. Injuries were a constant threat, yet she never permitted fear to control her determination. “Once, Charani fell during a match and broke her right arm. She didn’t drop a single tear nor inform anyone. She simply returned home and lay down in silence. It was only later that we discovered what had happened and immediately rushed her to the hospital. Fortunately, she made a quick recovery,” her sister recalled. However, the toughest battle was not on the field but within the walls of society. “People used to question Charani, asking why she had a boyish hairstyle,” her sister added. “The message from society was clear: she was just a girl, and her future — they insisted — should end in marriage, not in sports, dreams, or ambition.” From the quiet village of Yerramala Palle to the exciting stadiums (体育场) of world cricket, Shree Charani’s journey serves as a vivid reminder of what happens when talent meets determination. Now, she is not just a recognized bowler. She stands as living proof that a dream nurtured (滋养) in silence can one day light the way for every person who dares to believe in themselves. 4. What originally inspired Charani to take up cricket? A. A professional sports coach. B. Her desire to beat other players. C. A school sports competition. D. Her whole family’s fondness for it. 5. How did Charani react right after her arm injury? A. She kept her suffering to herself. B. She let her sister take her to hospital. C. She cried and called for her parents. D. She continued playing despite the pain. 6. Which problem troubled Charani most deeply? A. Frequent physical sports injuries. B. Heavy pressure from her school studies. C. Lack of recognition from society. D. Insufficient funds for training equipment. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Challenges Faced by Female Athletes. B. Lessons Learned From Cricket Troubles. C. A Small Dream Shining With Persistence. D. Popular Sports in a Remote Indian Village. C Ten years ago, scientists identified a small group of individuals who feel no pleasure from music even though their hearing is normal and they enjoy other types of experiences. This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia (快感缺乏症),” occurs when the brain’s auditory (听觉的) regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward. In a paper recently published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, the researchers who first described the condition outline the brain processes involved and explain how this work may help uncover broader differences in how people experience pleasure and joy. To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ), which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music. Those with musical anhedonia score low across all five areas. Behavioral research and brain imaging confirm that their auditory circuits work normally — they can hear and interpret music — but the reward circuit shows reduced activity when exposed to music. This clear difference makes the special disease easy to tell from common hearing problems. Notably, this circuit responds normally to other rewards like winning money, proving the reward system itself functions well. The core issue lies in the disruption between the reward circuit and the auditory network, not the reward circuit’s performance. Studies suggest genetics (基因) and environment may contribute to the condition. Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit. It means people may lack feelings for certain pleasures rather than all pleasant things. The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed. 8. How can we describe specific musical anhedonia? A. Loss of all pleasure experiences. B. Truly damaged auditory brain regions. C. Normal hearing but no music joy. D. Reduced response to music rewards. 9. What does the BMRQ mainly do? A. Record people’s daily music habits. B. Treat unusual brain hearing illnesses. C. Test different styles of beautiful music. D. Check people’s music pleasure reactions. 10. Which word has the closest meaning to “disruption” in paragraph 3? A. Disconnection. B. Distribution. C. Discussion. D. Disqualification. 11. What will researchers study next? A. Popularity of special musical abilities. B. Links between genes and brain problems. C. Time limits of different brain disorders. D. Ways to spread musical knowledge widely. D Scientists have long linked the Permian-Triassic mass extinction some 252 million years ago to vast volcanic eruptions in what is now Siberia. The resulting CO2 emissions rapidly sped up climate warming, contributing to the collapse of ecosystems. But climate warming alone cannot explain this extinction because when the tropics become too hot, species migrate to the cooler and higher latitudes (纬度). So, what wiped out almost all life on land, including plants and usually tough insects, has remained a source of mystery. One new study, published in the journal Science and co-led by the University of Bristol and China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), has shed new light. Huge ocean warming El Nino events were the key, with global conditions swinging wildly over decades. The scale of Permian-Triassic warming was revealed by studying oxygen isotopes (同位素) in the fossilized tooth material of tiny extinct swimming organisms called conodonts (牙形虫). By studying the temperature record of conodonts from around the world, the researchers were able to show remarkable temperature instability, especially in the low and mid latitudes. Dr. Farnsworth, who used pioneering climate modeling to evaluate the findings, said, “The changes responsible for the climate patterns were profound because there were much more intense and prolonged El Nino events than witnessed today. Species were simply not equipped to adapt or evolve quickly enough.” The results of the climate modeling also help explain the abundant charcoal (木炭) found in rock layers of that age. “Wildfires became very common in a drought-prone climate. Earth got stuck in a crisis state where the land was burning and the oceans were lifeless. There was nowhere to hide,” he added. In recent years El Nino events have caused major changes. 2023-2024 was one of the hottest years on record globally due to a strong El Nino in the Pacific, which was further worsened by increased human-induced CO2, driving catastrophic droughts and fires around the world. Fortunately, events like this so far have only lasted one to two years at a time. 12. What can we know about the former volcanic-warming theory? A. It is not fully reasonable. B. It is totally groundless. C. It is put forward recently. D. It is widely challenged. 13. How did researchers learn ancient unstable global temperature? A. By using old climate models. B. By comparing latitudes temperatures. C. By observing ocean conditions. D. By examining related ancient fossils. 14. What happened some 252 million years ago according to the researchers? ①Species adapted fast to changes. ②Lots of charcoal came into being. ③Wildfires broke out frequently. ④The whole earth suffered severe damage. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③ 15. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Seeing is believing. B. The cloud has a silver lining. C. Every day is a leaf in history. D. Actions speak louder than words. 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。 We live in an age when short dramas slip easily into the gaps of daily life. Their main attraction lies in speed. Like quick flashes of light, they deliver instant excitement and clearly defined emotions. ____16____ This brings immediate satisfaction with little demand on our time. In a fast-paced world, they have become a natural companion. Yet what comes quickly often fades (消逝) just as quickly. Short dramas rush from scene to scene. ____17____ Characters may seem vivid, but they remain shallow — more like simple images than true full characters. Problems are solved before they are fully experienced. Viewers are entertained, but seldom challenged. Gradually, watching turns into a habit of easy consumption rather than active reflection. ____18____ Beneath the desire for quick pleasure lies a deeper need — to understand, to feel, and to think. We long for meaning that develops slowly, emotions that stay with us, and stories that reflect our own struggles. It is this quiet hunger that draws us towards the wider world of cinema. A film invites us to slow down. When the screen darkens, time seems to slow down. Scenes are allowed to breathe. Silence begins to speak. Characters grow through choices, mistakes, and moments of waiting. Meaning is not delivered all at once but shown gently, like light at dawn. Films do not rush viewers forward. ____19____ Think of the white feather drifting in Forrest Gump. Recall Andy Dufresne standing in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption, arms open, finally free. ____20____ Beyond the fast stream of short dramas lies the deep river of cinema — quiet, powerful, and always worth entering. A. They leave little room for thought to settle. B. The human mind is not built for endless speed. C. But not everyone chooses to watch online videos. D. These films are produced to offer quick relaxation. E. Such moments stay with us long after the screen falls silent. F. In just a few minutes, a problem appears, rises, and disappears. G. Instead, they lead us to think deeply instead of only focusing on what happens right now. 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。 I recently returned from a trip to Chengdu, China, where I visited the world-famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to ____21____ one of China’s national treasures, the giant panda.

I ____34____ the base smiling from ear to ear. And I was deeply impressed by all the ____35____ made to save these remarkable animals. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will cherish forever. 21. A. help B. see C. feed D. study 22. A. eating B. climbing C. sleeping D. performing 23. A. amazing B. easy C. possible D. important 24. A. frequently B. completely C. fast D. close 25. A. photograph B. follow C. touch D. spot 26. A. play B. ease C. work D. speed 27. A. Gradually B.

A. efforts B. plans C. opportunities D. responsibilities 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Lanying Cliff Road in Chongqing, China, stretches just over a kilometer, sticking to a near-vertical cliff face — less than three meters in ____36____ (wide) in some parts — with a drop of 1,500 meters on one side. ____37____ (locate) above the Lanying Grand Canyon, it has been celebrated as the most beautiful cliffside road in China. It got global attention after Elon Musk shared a driving video of the road. But beauty comes at a price. For ____38____ (year), the nearby villagers lived in isolation (隔离). Any trip ____39____ search of basic necessities meant a 13-hour walk over dangerous mountain paths. The road wasn’t built by heavy machines — it was dug by the villagers ____40____ spent more than four years on the work. When it ____41____ (complete) in 2005 finally, people cried. “We no longer had to cross mountains to make a living,” said Yang Zhihan, one of the building leaders.

At the age of 18, she had mastered Greek and French, but she decided to study a new language. Deeply fascinated by Chinese culture and curious about this mysterious land, she chose to take on the challenge of learning Chinese. Her decision shocked everyone. “It’s crazy!” her friends shouted. But nothing could stop Dorien from pursuing her dream of learning Chinese. She packed her bags for Chengdu, Sichuan province, and studied at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. However, reality hit hard. In class, Dorien found learning Chinese more challenging than studying Greek and French. The four tones (四声调) of Chinese made her completely confused. On the street, she struggled to string a sentence to ask for directions. During her first hotpot meal, her Chinese classmates enjoyed the chili (辣椒) happily, but she couldn’t stand the spiciness at all. Her face turned red, and she kept blowing her nose and drinking water. However, challenges went beyond language and food. In social situations, Dorien often felt awkward. Her classmates often shared their snacks and personal belongings with her, and invited her to join almost every group activity. Although kind, this kind of closeness made her uneasy and even stressed out. She didn’t know how to accept it naturally or how to say no politely without offending anyone. As days passed, a heavy feeling of self-doubt grew in her heart. One day, her Chinese teacher noticed her problem and encouraged her. “Don’t worry.” the teacher said gently, “Take your time. Try to embrace our culture with an open heart, and you’ll find beauty everywhere.” These simple words lifted her spirits. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Gradually, Dorien began to appreciate the beauty of Chinese culture. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A year later, standing in front of her Belgian classmates, she began her speech in fluent Chinese. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第二学期期末检测 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1.本试卷共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。涂写在本试卷上无效。 4.作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 5.考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试卷不回收。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

In Yerramala Palle, a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district, a young girl, who once threw a cricket (板球) ball into the air, never knew that the seemingly small act would one day make a big difference and transform her entire life. Raised in an ordinary home with her parents and elder sister, Shree Charani tried every sport she could: badminton, athletics, and cricket. “I started playing cricket when I was in first or second grade. I didn’t really know why I liked it so much,” she recalled. “Everyone in my family loved the sport, and that was how it all began for me. Around seventh grade, my father bought me my first cricket kit.” Charani’s daily existence was entirely devoted to practice and training. Injuries were a constant threat, yet she never permitted fear to control her determination. “Once, Charani fell during a match and broke her right arm. She didn’t drop a single tear nor inform anyone. She simply returned home and lay down in silence. It was only later that we discovered what had happened and immediately rushed her to the hospital. Fortunately, she made a quick recovery,” her sister recalled. However, the toughest battle was not on the field but within the walls of society. “People used to question Charani, asking why she had a boyish hairstyle,” her sister added. “The message from society was clear: she was just a girl, and her future — they insisted — should end in marriage, not in sports, dreams, or ambition.” From the quiet village of Yerramala Palle to the exciting stadiums (体育场) of world cricket, Shree Charani’s journey serves as a vivid reminder of what happens when talent meets determination. Now, she is not just a recognized bowler. She stands as living proof that a dream nurtured (滋养) in silence can one day light the way for every person who dares to believe in themselves. 4. What originally inspired Charani to take up cricket? A. A professional sports coach. B. Her desire to beat other players. C. A school sports competition. D. Her whole family’s fondness for it. 5. How did Charani react right after her arm injury? A. She kept her suffering to herself. B. She let her sister take her to hospital. C. She cried and called for her parents. D. She continued playing despite the pain. 6. Which problem troubled Charani most deeply? A. Frequent physical sports injuries. B. Heavy pressure from her school studies. C. Lack of recognition from society. D. Insufficient funds for training equipment. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Challenges Faced by Female Athletes. B. Lessons Learned From Cricket Troubles. C. A Small Dream Shining With Persistence. D. Popular Sports in a Remote Indian Village. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述印度乡村女孩 Shree Charani 因全家喜爱板球而接触这项运动，日复一日刻苦训练，赛场受伤也默默忍受，同时还要承受社会对女性从事体育运动的偏见与质疑，但她凭借天赋与坚持追梦，最终成为知名投球手，用自身经历证明心怀梦想、坚持不懈终能发光。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Everyone in my family loved the sport, and that was how it all began for me.(我的全家人都热爱这项运动，这就是我接触板球的开端。)”可知，是全家人对板球的喜爱促使她开始打板球。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Once, Charani fell during a match and broke her right arm. She didn’t drop a single tear nor inform anyone. She simply returned home and lay down in silence.(有一次，查拉尼在比赛中摔倒摔断了右臂，她一滴眼泪都没掉，也没有告诉任何人，只是默默回家躺下。)”可知，受伤后她独自承受痛苦，没有告诉别人。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“However, the toughest battle was not on the field but within the walls of society...The message from society was clear: she was just a girl, and her future — they insisted — should end in marriage, not in sports, dreams, or ambition.(然而，最艰难的斗争不在赛场，而来自社会世俗眼光……社会的看法十分明确：她只是个女孩，人们坚持认为她的归宿是结婚，而非追求体育、梦想与抱负。)”可知，给她带来最深困扰的是社会层面的不认可。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Dreams often begin in the smallest corners of our lives...the seemingly small act would one day make a big difference and transform her entire life.(梦想往往始于生活最微小的角落……这个看似不起眼的举动终有一天会产生巨大影响，彻底改变她的人生。)”以及最后一段“Shree Charani’s journey serves as a vivid reminder of what happens when talent meets determination. Now, she is not just a recognized bowler. She stands as living proof that a dream nurtured (滋养) in silence can one day light the way for every person who dares to believe in themselves.(斯里・查拉尼的经历生动地告诉我们，当天赋与毅力相遇会绽放怎样的力量。如今，她已是一名备受认可的板球投球手。她用亲身经历证明，默默耕耘的梦想终有一天会为每一个敢于相信自己的人照亮前路。)”可推知，文章核心是微小梦想凭借坚持绽放光芒。 C Ten years ago, scientists identified a small group of individuals who feel no pleasure from music even though their hearing is normal and they enjoy other types of experiences. This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia (快感缺乏症),” occurs when the brain’s auditory (听觉的) regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward. In a paper recently published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, the researchers who first described the condition outline the brain processes involved and explain how this work may help uncover broader differences in how people experience pleasure and joy. To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ), which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music. Those with musical anhedonia score low across all five areas. Behavioral research and brain imaging confirm that their auditory circuits work normally — they can hear and interpret music — but the reward circuit shows reduced activity when exposed to music. This clear difference makes the special disease easy to tell from common hearing problems. Notably, this circuit responds normally to other rewards like winning money, proving the reward system itself functions well. The core issue lies in the disruption between the reward circuit and the auditory network, not the reward circuit’s performance. Studies suggest genetics (基因) and environment may contribute to the condition. Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit. It means people may lack feelings for certain pleasures rather than all pleasant things. The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed. 8. How can we describe specific musical anhedonia? A. Loss of all pleasure experiences. B. Truly damaged auditory brain regions. C. Normal hearing but no music joy. D. Reduced response to music rewards. 9. What does the BMRQ mainly do? A. Record people’s daily music habits. B. Treat unusual brain hearing illnesses. C. Test different styles of beautiful music. D. Check people’s music pleasure reactions. 10. Which word has the closest meaning to “disruption” in paragraph 3? A. Disconnection. B. Distribution. C. Discussion. D. Disqualification. 11. What will researchers study next? A. Popularity of special musical abilities. B. Links between genes and brain problems. C. Time limits of different brain disorders. D. Ways to spread musical knowledge widely. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了特定音乐快感缺乏症这一病症，包括其定义、诊断方式、大脑相关机制、成因推测，以及研究人员后续的研究计划。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ten years ago, scientists identified a small group of individuals who feel no pleasure from music even though their hearing is normal and they enjoy other types of experiences. This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia (快感缺乏症),” occurs when the brain’s auditory (听觉的) regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward.(十年前，科学家发现了一小群人，他们尽管听力正常且享受其他类型的体验，但却无法从音乐中获得愉悦感。这种病症被称为“特定音乐快感缺乏症”，其成因在于大脑听觉区域未能与负责奖赏的区域进行恰当的沟通。)”可知，特定音乐快感缺乏症是指听力正常但无法从音乐中获得快乐。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ), which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music.(为了确定这种病症，研究团队开发了巴塞罗那音乐奖赏问卷（BMRQ），该问卷从五个音乐奖赏来源评估受试者的反应：情感影响、情绪调节、社交互动、运动/舞蹈以及探索新音乐的乐趣。)”可知，BMRQ主要检测人们对音乐愉悦感的反应。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit.(研究人员还提出，由于相关处理区域与奖赏回路之间的连接中断，针对其他奖赏（如食物）也可能存在类似的特定快感缺乏症。)”可知，由于相关处理区域和奖赏回路之间的连接中断导致特定快感缺乏症，“disruption(中断)”与“interrupted connectivity(中断的连接性)”意思相近，“disconnection(断开)”符合语境。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed.(研究团队目前正与遗传学家合作，以确定可能参与特定音乐快感缺乏症的特定基因。他们还计划调查这种病症是一种稳定的特质，还是会在人生中发生变化——以及特定音乐快感缺乏症或其他类似病症是否可以逆转。)”可知，研究团队接下来会研究基因与大脑问题之间的关联。 D Scientists have long linked the Permian-Triassic mass extinction some 252 million years ago to vast volcanic eruptions in what is now Siberia. The resulting CO2 emissions rapidly sped up climate warming, contributing to the collapse of ecosystems. But climate warming alone cannot explain this extinction because when the tropics become too hot, species migrate to the cooler and higher latitudes (纬度). So, what wiped out almost all life on land, including plants and usually tough insects, has remained a source of mystery. One new study, published in the journal Science and co-led by the University of Bristol and China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), has shed new light. Huge ocean warming El Nino events were the key, with global conditions swinging wildly over decades. The scale of Permian-Triassic warming was revealed by studying oxygen isotopes (同位素) in the fossilized tooth material of tiny extinct swimming organisms called conodonts (牙形虫). By studying the temperature record of conodonts from around the world, the researchers were able to show remarkable temperature instability, especially in the low and mid latitudes. Dr. Farnsworth, who used pioneering climate modeling to evaluate the findings, said, “The changes responsible for the climate patterns were profound because there were much more intense and prolonged El Nino events than witnessed today. Species were simply not equipped to adapt or evolve quickly enough.” The results of the climate modeling also help explain the abundant charcoal (木炭) found in rock layers of that age. “Wildfires became very common in a drought-prone climate. Earth got stuck in a crisis state where the land was burning and the oceans were lifeless. There was nowhere to hide,” he added. In recent years El Nino events have caused major changes. 2023-2024 was one of the hottest years on record globally due to a strong El Nino in the Pacific, which was further worsened by increased human-induced CO2, driving catastrophic droughts and fires around the world. Fortunately, events like this so far have only lasted one to two years at a time. 12. What can we know about the former volcanic-warming theory? A. It is not fully reasonable. B. It is totally groundless. C. It is put forward recently. D. It is widely challenged. 13. How did researchers learn ancient unstable global temperature? A. By using old climate models. B. By comparing latitudes temperatures. C. By observing ocean conditions. D. By examining related ancient fossils. 14. What happened some 252 million years ago according to the researchers? ①Species adapted fast to changes. ②Lots of charcoal came into being. ③Wildfires broke out frequently. ④The whole earth suffered severe damage. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③ 15. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Seeing is believing. B. The cloud has a silver lining. C. Every day is a leaf in history. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了传统火山致暖理论无法完整解释二叠纪大灭绝，新研究指出剧烈持久的厄尔尼诺引发气温剧变是主因，极端气候造成野火泛滥、生态全面崩溃，文末对比现代厄尔尼诺点明其持续时间较短。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Scientists have long linked the Permian-Triassic mass extinction some 252 million years ago to vast volcanic eruptions in what is now Siberia.(长期以来，科学家一直认为约2.52亿年前发生的二叠纪-三叠纪大灭绝事件，与如今西伯利亚地区曾出现的大规模火山喷发存在关联。)”可知，火山致暖理论由来已久、有一定科学依据；再根据该段后面的句子“But climate warming alone cannot explain this extinction because when the tropics become too hot, species migrate to the cooler and higher latitudes (纬度). So, what wiped out almost all life on land, including plants and usually tough insects, has remained a source of mystery.(但仅靠气候变暖无法解释此次灭绝事件，因为当热带地区温度过高时，物种会迁徙至温度更低的高纬度区域。因此，究竟是什么摧毁了陆地上几乎所有生物，包括各类植物以及生命力向来顽强的昆虫，至今仍是未解之谜。)”可知，该理论无法单独解释全部现象。综合可推断，之前的火山变暖理论有一定道理，但并不完全合理。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The scale of Permian-Triassic warming was revealed by studying oxygen isotopes in the fossilized tooth material of tiny extinct swimming organisms called conodonts.(通过研究一种名为牙形虫的已灭绝微型水生游泳生物牙齿化石中的氧同位素，科学家揭示了二叠纪-三叠纪时期变暖的规模。)”可知，研究人员通过检查牙形虫化石来了解古代温度变化。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The results of the climate modeling also help explain the abundant charcoal found in rock layers of that age.(气候建模的结果也有助于解释那个时代岩层中发现的大量木炭。)”可知，②表示“大量木炭生成了。”，是正确的；根据第五段中的“Wildfires became very common in a drought-prone climate.(在干旱易发的气候中，野火变得非常常见。)”可知，③表示“野火频繁爆发。”，是正确的；根据第五段中的“Earth got stuck in a crisis state where the land was burning and the oceans were lifeless. There was nowhere to hide.(地球陷入了危机境地，陆地处处燃起烈火，海洋毫无生机，生物无处可藏。)”可知，④表示“整个地球遭受了严重破坏。”，是正确的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。依据最后一段中的“2023-2024 was one of the hottest years on record globally due to a strong El Nino in the Pacific, which was further worsened by increased human-induced CO₂, driving catastrophic droughts and fires around the world. Fortunately, events like this so far have only lasted one to two years at a time.(2023 至 2024 年是全球有记录以来最热的年份之一，成因是太平洋出现强厄尔尼诺现象，再加上人为排放的二氧化碳不断增多，进一步加剧了升温，致使全球多地遭遇特大干旱与火灾灾害。所幸这类气候现象目前单次只会持续一到两年。)”可知，虽然2023至2024年的强厄尔尼诺造成了灾难性的干旱和火灾，但好在持续时间较短。由此可推断，坏事中也有值得庆幸的一面，选项B表示“黑暗中总有一线光明”，与推断相吻合。 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。 We live in an age when short dramas slip easily into the gaps of daily life. Their main attraction lies in speed. Like quick flashes of light, they deliver instant excitement and clearly defined emotions. ____16____ This brings immediate satisfaction with little demand on our time. In a fast-paced world, they have become a natural companion. Yet what comes quickly often fades (消逝) just as quickly. Short dramas rush from scene to scene. ____17____ Characters may seem vivid, but they remain shallow — more like simple images than true full characters. Problems are solved before they are fully experienced. Viewers are entertained, but seldom challenged. Gradually, watching turns into a habit of easy consumption rather than active reflection. ____18____ Beneath the desire for quick pleasure lies a deeper need — to understand, to feel, and to think. We long for meaning that develops slowly, emotions that stay with us, and stories that reflect our own struggles. It is this quiet hunger that draws us towards the wider world of cinema. A film invites us to slow down. When the screen darkens, time seems to slow down. Scenes are allowed to breathe. Silence begins to speak. Characters grow through choices, mistakes, and moments of waiting. Meaning is not delivered all at once but shown gently, like light at dawn. Films do not rush viewers forward. ____19____ Think of the white feather drifting in Forrest Gump. Recall Andy Dufresne standing in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption, arms open, finally free. ____20____ Beyond the fast stream of short dramas lies the deep river of cinema — quiet, powerful, and always worth entering. A. They leave little room for thought to settle. B. The human mind is not built for endless speed. C. But not everyone chooses to watch online videos. D. These films are produced to offer quick relaxation. E. Such moments stay with us long after the screen falls silent. F. In just a few minutes, a problem appears, rises, and disappears. G. Instead, they lead us to think deeply instead of only focusing on what happens right now. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要对比了短剧和电影两种观影体验，指出短剧虽然能带来即时的快感，但缺乏深度；而电影则能让人慢下来，引发深思，带来持久的共鸣与意义。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Like quick flashes of light, they deliver instant excitement and clearly defined emotions. (像转瞬即逝的光芒一样，它们带来即时的刺激和清晰界定的情感。)”以及后文“This brings immediate satisfaction with little demand on our time. (这带来了即时的满足感，几乎不占用我们的时间。)”可知，前文描述了短剧“快”的特点，后文进一步说明这种“快”带来的即时满足。可推理出空白处说的是短剧如何做到“快”和“即时满，足”的，F选项“In just a few minutes, a problem appears, rises, and disappears. (在短短几分钟内，一个问题出现、升级然后消失。)”具体解释了短剧是如何做到“快”和“即时满足”的，承接前后文，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Short dramas rush from scene to scene. (短剧从一个场景匆匆赶到下一个场景。)”以及后文“Characters may seem vivid, but they remain shallow — more like simple images than true full characters. Problems are solved before they are fully experienced. Viewers are entertained, but seldom challenged. Gradually, watching turns into a habit of easy consumption rather than active reflection.(人物或许看似鲜活生动，实则流于肤浅——与其说是丰满立体的真实角色，不如说是简单的扁平形象。问题尚未让人充分体味，便已草草解决。观众虽得到了娱乐，却鲜少受到深层的启发与挑战。久而久之，观看便沦为一种轻松的消费习惯，而不再是主动的思考与省察。)”可知，本段在讲述短剧节奏过快带来的负面影响。A选项“They leave little room for thought to settle. (它们几乎没有留下让思想沉淀的空间。)”解释了为什么角色会显得肤浅、问题无法被充分体验，承接前文，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Gradually, watching turns into a habit of easy consumption rather than active reflection. (渐渐地，观看变成了一种轻松消费的习惯，而不是主动反思。)”以及后文“Beneath the desire for quick pleasure lies a deeper need — to understand, to feel, and to think. (在追求快速愉悦的欲望之下，隐藏着一种更深层次的需求——去理解、去感受、去思考。)”可知，前文总结了短剧的局限性，后文开始探讨人类内心更深层次的需求，可推理出空白处表示的是人为什么渴望内心更深层次的需求。B选项“The human mind is not built for endless speed. (人类的大脑并非为无休止的速度而生。)”起到了承上启下的过渡作用，解释了为什么人们最终会渴望超越短剧的深层体验，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Films do not rush viewers forward. (电影不会催促观众向前。)”可知，前文强调了电影“慢”的特点。G选项“Instead, they lead us to think deeply instead of only focusing on what happens right now. (相反，它们引导我们深入思考，而不是仅仅关注当下发生的事情。)”通过“Instead”与前文形成转折对比，进一步阐述了电影不催促观众所带来的积极意义，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Think of the white feather drifting in Forrest Gump. Recall Andy Dufresne standing in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption, arms open, finally free. (想想《阿甘正传》中飘落的白羽毛。回想《肖申克的救赎》中安迪·杜佛兰在雨中张开双臂、终获自由的场景。)”以及后文“Beyond the fast stream of short dramas lies the deep river of cinema — quiet, powerful, and always worth entering.(短剧的湍流之外，藏着电影的深河——静谧、磅礴，永远值得投身其中。)”可知，前文列举了电影中令人难忘的经典瞬间。E选项“Such moments stay with us long after the screen falls silent. (这样的时刻在屏幕暗下之后依然长久地留在我们心中。)”中的“Such moments”指代了前文提到的经典电影画面，并与后文“deep river of cinema”的深远意境相呼应，符合语境。 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。 I recently returned from a trip to Chengdu, China, where I visited the world-famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to ____21____ one of China’s national treasures, the giant panda.

At the age of 18, she had mastered Greek and French, but she decided to study a new language. Deeply fascinated by Chinese culture and curious about this mysterious land, she chose to take on the challenge of learning Chinese. Her decision shocked everyone. “It’s crazy!” her friends shouted. But nothing could stop Dorien from pursuing her dream of learning Chinese. She packed her bags for Chengdu, Sichuan province, and studied at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. However, reality hit hard. In class, Dorien found learning Chinese more challenging than studying Greek and French. The four tones (四声调) of Chinese made her completely confused. On the street, she struggled to string a sentence to ask for directions. During her first hotpot meal, her Chinese classmates enjoyed the chili (辣椒) happily, but she couldn’t stand the spiciness at all. Her face turned red, and she kept blowing her nose and drinking water. However, challenges went beyond language and food. In social situations, Dorien often felt awkward. Her classmates often shared their snacks and personal belongings with her, and invited her to join almost every group activity. Although kind, this kind of closeness made her uneasy and even stressed out. She didn’t know how to accept it naturally or how to say no politely without offending anyone. As days passed, a heavy feeling of self-doubt grew in her heart. One day, her Chinese teacher noticed her problem and encouraged her. “Don’t worry.” the teacher said gently, “Take your time. Try to embrace our culture with an open heart, and you’ll find beauty everywhere.” These simple words lifted her spirits. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Gradually, Dorien began to appreciate the beauty of Chinese culture. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A year later, standing in front of her Belgian classmates, she began her speech in fluent Chinese. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Gradually, Dorien began to appreciate the beauty of Chinese culture. She started trying spicy food with her classmates and even learned to order hotpot in Chinese. She also joined their study group activities and found it warm to be cared about. Her Chinese improved little by little, and she even began to tell jokes in class. When she shared her favorite snacks with others, she realized the closeness she once feared was just a way of showing kindness. She felt her heart filled with joy and confidence. A year later, standing in front of her Belgian classmates, she began her speech in fluent Chinese. She talked about her life in Chengdu, the warm friends she made, and the delicious food she learned to love. She told them how the teacher’s words had changed her, and how she finally understood the beauty of being open to new cultures. When she finished, the room erupted in applause. Dorien smiled, knowing that this journey had not only taught her a new language, but also helped her grow into a more confident and open-minded person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了比利时女孩多莉恩痴迷中华文化，远赴成都求学中文。汉语声调、饮食差异与相处模式都让她屡屡受挫，内心倍感迷茫。在老师开导下，她慢慢敞开心扉融入生活，语言水平稳步提升，也理解了中式待人的温情。一年后她能用流利中文演讲，这段求学之旅既习得语言，也让她变得自信豁达。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写在老师开导下，多莉恩慢慢敞开心扉融入生活，语言水平稳步提升，也理解了中式待人的温情。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写一年后多莉恩能用流利中文演讲，这段求学之旅既习得语言，也让她变得自信豁达。 2.续写线索：开始欣赏中国文化——融入群体——语言水平提高——中文流利——多莉恩感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①改变：change/transform ②参加：join/participate in ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness ②亲密：closeness/intimacy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Dorien smiled, knowing that this journey had not only taught her a new language, but also helped her grow into a more confident and open-minded person.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] When she finished, the room erupted in applause.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
