It’s also an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.(志愿者们将聚集在一起清除该地区的污染，该地区将三个县的水和废物排入太平洋。这也是一个享受户外的好机会。)”可知，在海滩清理活动中，志愿者可以清除污染并享受户外景色。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Family Volunteering at Brooklyn Book Bodegas部分中“Please note that registration is required beforehand, as spots are limited.(请注意，由于名额有限，需提前注册。)”以及Give Warmth DC: 3rd Annual MLK Day of Service部分中“Please keep in mind that you need to sign up beforehand due to the limited number of seats.(请记住，由于座位有限，您需要提前报名。)”可知，Family Volunteering at Brooklyn Book Bodegas和Give Warmth DC这两个活动需要提前注册。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Volunteering at local events offers opportunities to make a difference while gaining valuable experiences. Here are some volunteer opportunities across the United States where you can have a meaningful impact.(在当地活动中做志愿者提供了做出改变并获得宝贵经验的机会。以下是一些在美国各地你可以产生有意义影响的志愿者机会。)”可知，文章的主要目的是鼓励志愿者参与活动。故选D。 B On a low hill near the coast of Maine, colorful flowers glow in the May sunlight, while new plants emerge from the soil. This is Dandy Ram Farm, run by Bo Dennis, who grows flowers for weddings and other special events. “When people come to us, we say, ‘This is what we’re good at: local, sustainably grown flowers,’” Dennis says. “Sometimes clients ask for out-of-season flowers. I say, ‘Great! Have a good celebration. I don’t think we’re the right fit for you.’” What Dennis grows won’t be found in supermarkets or big-box stores. The flowers that fill those shelves are imports, and they are part of an enormously successful international market that sells blooms thousands of miles from their fields of origin and earns more than $25 billion every year. But pesticides and other agrochemicals required to sustain that scale of production can injure workers and their families. Studies in Ecuador, the world’s third-largest flower exporter, link flower farm chemicals to children’s attention problems and birth abnormalities. And the risks extend to people around the world. In Belgium, florists (花商) with imported flowers had unhealthy levels of pesticide chemicals on their gloves, levels high enough to burn the skin if it wasn’t protected. In response, small U. S. operations such as Dennis’s Dandy Ram Farm are building a new agricultural model — a “slow flower movement,” which offers a cleaner, greener alternative to modern floral production. Flowers are so present in our lives that we almost do not see them: wrapped in paper in every market, placed in a vase on a table in any cafe. But while they are quotidian, they memorialize the most important days of our lives. We invest them with so much meaning that we demand they always be perfect. But those perfect plants don’t grow that way without assistance. They are routinely treated with chemicals to ensure they meet our expectations. Dennis and other growers aim to protect ecosystems while bringing a bit of beauty — wild, imperfect, unpredictable — back into the world. 4. Why does Bo Dennis turn down some clients’ requests? A. He sticks to eco-friendly farming. B. He wants to provide perfect flowers. C. He fails to compete with large stores. D. He sells flowers for specific occasions. 5. What concern does paragraph 3 raise about the global flower industry? A. Its economic costs. B. Its health impacts. C. Its growth prospects. D. Its technological challenges. 6. What does the underlined word “quotidian” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Harmful. B. Perfect. C. Common. D. Meaningful. 7. Which saying best reflects Dennis’s philosophy on flower growing? A. Let things be as they are. B. All good things take time. C. Perfection is the enemy of good. D. Growth requires careful planning. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是波丹尼斯经营着一家花卉农场，专注于生态友好型农业种植，这种远离大规模生产、减少农药化学物质使用的模式，是一种更清洁环保的农业模式。同时强调鲜花在生活中的普遍存在和重要意义，突出了波丹尼斯种植鲜花的理念和特色。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Sometimes clients ask for out-of-season flowers. I say, ‘Great! Have a good celebration. I don’t think we’re the right fit for you.’”(“有时客户会要求买反季节的花。我说，‘太好了！祝你庆祝愉快。我觉得我们不适合你。’”)”可知，波丹尼斯没有同意客户要反季节性鲜花的要求，而他之所以拒绝是因为他坚持环保农业种植。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But pesticides and other agrochemicals required to sustain that scale of production can injure workers and their families. Studies in Ecuador, the world’s third-largest flower exporter, link flower farm chemicals to children’s attention problems and birth abnormalities. And the risks extend to people around the world. In Belgium, florists (花商) with imported flowers had unhealthy levels of pesticide chemicals on their gloves, levels high enough to burn the skin if it wasn’t protected.(但维持这种生产规模所需的农药和其他农用化学品可能会伤害工人及其家人。在世界第三大花卉出口国厄瓜多尔进行的研究表明，花卉农场的化学品与儿童的注意力问题和出生异常有关。这种风险蔓延到世界各地的人们。在比利时，种植进口花卉的花商的手套上含有不健康的农药化学物质，如果不加以保护，农药化学物质的含量高到足以灼伤皮肤。)”可知，第三段列举了农药对工人、儿童及花商的健康危害（如皮肤灼伤、注意力问题等），因此第三段对全球花卉产业提出了对健康的关注。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Flowers are so present in our lives that we almost do not see them: wrapped in paper in every market, placed in a vase on a table in any cafe.(鲜花在我们的生活中无处不在，我们几乎看不到它们：在每个市场里都用纸包着，在任何一家咖啡馆的桌子上都放在花瓶里。)”说明鲜花在我们生活中很常见，从而推知划线词句“But while they are quotidian, they memorialize the most important days of our lives.(但是，虽然它们是quotidian，但它们纪念了我们生命中最重要的日子。)”其中划线词应为“常见的”的意思，与C项同义。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dennis and other growers aim to protect ecosystems while bringing a bit of beauty — wild, imperfect, unpredictable — back into the world.(丹尼斯和其他种植者的目标是保护生态系统，同时将一些美丽——野性、不完美、不可预测——带回世界。)”可知，丹尼斯种植花卉的理念是尊重自然，顺其自然。故选A项。 C Growing up in the 1980s in London, I could only enjoy fresh local strawberries for about a month each summer when they were in season. This short season created a special association with summer traditions — most notably the Wimbledon tennis tournament, where people consume over two million strawberries annually. Today, however, my children are likely to think of strawberries as I think of apples or bananas — affordable, year-round fruits, barely more remarkable than potatoes. The growth of the strawberry industry has been headlong, and shows few signs of slowing. It is impossible to separate this growth from the rise of petroleum (石油) over the same period, because plastics, pesticides and jet fuel are as essential to the industry as seeds and rainfall. Tender, sweet and quick to go bad, the history of the strawberry is shot through with challenges of growing it and getting it to market. The polymer (聚合物) innovation started to change that in the 1960s. Farmers started to cover their crops with poly-tunnels (塑料大棚) to protect them from rain and excessive sunlight, and ensure a constant high temperature that could extend the growing season well into the spring and autumn. Meanwhile, the clear plastic boxes also saved the day. With cold storage and air shipping, berries became a worldwide business. However, this progress comes with a cost. The environmental impact of such rapid expansion is significant. Increased production has led to higher resource consumption, land degradation (退化), and other ecological challenges. The intensive farming practices required to meet the growing demand for strawberries have put pressure on natural resources and ecosystems. The rise of strawberries as a global product is impressive, but it also serves as a reminder of the need to address the costs of such growth. 8. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 1? A. The seasonal significance of strawberries. B. The increasing availability of strawberries. C. The popularity of strawberries at Wimbledon. D. The comparison between strawberries and other fruits. 9. What role does petroleum play in the strawberry industry? A. It reduces the cost of production. B. It replaces traditional farming methods. C. It extends strawberries’ growing season. D. It provides essential materials for modern farming. 10. What does the author mean by saying “this progress comes with a cost” in paragraph 4? A. The progress requires more labor and time. B. The strawberry boom brings ecological issues. C. The quality of strawberries has decreased over time. D. The global demand for strawberries is unsustainable. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the rise of strawberries? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Disappointed. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述草莓从应季水果变为全年供应的全球商品，依托石油相关技术发展，但产业扩张带来生态问题，作者对此表示担忧。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Today, however, my children are likely to think of strawberries as I think of apples or bananas — affordable, year-round fruits, barely more remarkable than potatoes.(然而如今，我的孩子们可能会像我看待苹果或香蕉一样看待草莓 —— 价格实惠、全年供应的水果，几乎和土豆一样普通。)”可知，作者对比自己小时候只能短期吃到草莓，而现在草莓全年可得，本段主要讲草莓越来越容易买到。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It is impossible to separate this growth from the rise of petroleum (石油) over the same period, because plastics, pesticides and jet fuel are as essential to the industry as seeds and rainfall.(这种产业增长与同期石油产业的兴起密不可分，因为塑料、杀虫剂和航空燃料对该行业来说，和种子、雨水一样必不可少。)”可知，石油为现代草莓种植提供必需材料。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, this progress comes with a cost. The environmental impact of such rapid expansion is significant. Increased production has led to higher resource consumption, land degradation (退化), and other ecological challenges.(然而，这种进步是有代价的。如此快速扩张带来的环境影响巨大。产量增加导致资源消耗增多、土地退化以及其他生态难题。)”可知，“this progress comes with a cost”这句话是指草莓产业繁荣带来生态问题。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The rise of strawberries as a global product is impressive, but it also serves as a reminder of the need to address the costs of such growth.(草莓成为全球产品的发展令人惊叹，但它也提醒我们，需要应对这种增长所带来的代价。)”可知，作者认可产业发展，但对伴随而来的代价感到担忧。 D Words can be learned by young children hearing adults secretly, but now researchers have found that certain dogs can do something similar. Scientists have discovered dogs with the unusual ability to learn the names of the objects can pick up such labels by eavesdropping on conversations. The team say such abilities are thought to rely on social cognitive (认知的) skills, from identifying the relevant word in a conversation to using clues from people’s eyes, gestures and voices to understand what the word refers to. “There are a lot of social things happening here,” said Dr Shany Dror, first author of the research. Writing in the journal Science, the team report how they made their discovery by working with “gifted” dogs. In the first experiment, 10 such dogs were each introduced to two new toys. Each toy was presented to a dog with the name of the toy repeated before the dog was allowed to play with it. This process was carried out many times for several days. A second experiment was similar but instead of introducing a new toy directly to the dog, family members passed it between each other while using its name, ensuring they did not interact with their dog in the process. Its owner then asked the dog to fetch toys by name, with 12 trials for new toys and 12 for familiar ones. Taken as a group, the dogs picked the correct new toy when asked about 90% of the time if they had previously been told its name directly, compared with about 80% of the time if they had previously only overheard its name — a statistically insignificant difference. What’s more, in both experiments the dogs did better than chance at picking the correct new toy of the two. “The fact that this skill exists in a species that doesn’t have language suggests that the skill itself predates (早于) language,” said Dror. “So humans might first develop the ability to understand complex social interactions and only later use this complex understanding to develop language. ” 12. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “eavesdropping on” in paragraph 1? A. actively participating in B. paying close attention to C. secretly listening to D. aimlessly stepping into 13. Why was the second experiment conducted in another way? A. To test dogs’ ability to learn indirectly. B. To compare dogs’ intelligence levels. C. To simplify the process of toy introduction. D. To explore how dogs and humans communicate. 14. What can we conclude from the experimental results? A. Direct teaching is statistically more effective. B. Overhearing reliably helps dogs’ learning. C. Dogs’ learning rate depends on toy types. D. Repetition is crucial to dogs’ learning. 15. What do Dror’s words in the last paragraph imply? A. Languages are not unique to humans. B. Dogs can develop basic social abilities. C. Communicating requires many cognitive skills. D. Social skills may be the basis for language development. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】研究发现部分聪明的狗能偷听对话学会物品名称。实验证明间接听名字也能有效学习，该发现表明社交能力可能早于语言出现。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Words can be learned by young children hearing adults secretly, but now researchers have found that certain dogs can do something similar. Scientists have discovered dogs with the unusual ability to learn the names of the objects can pick up such labels by eavesdropping on conversations.(幼儿可以通过偷偷听大人说话来学习单词，而如今研究人员发现某些狗也能做到类似的事。科学家发现，拥有学习物品名称这项特殊能力的狗，可以通过eavesdropping on对话习得这些名称。)”可知，eavesdropping on应与上文“hearing secretly”同义， 表示“偷偷听”。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A second experiment was similar but instead of introducing a new toy directly to the dog, family members passed it between each other while using its name, ensuring they did not interact with their dog in the process.(第二个实验与之类似，但不再直接向狗介绍新玩具，家庭成员互相传递玩具并说出玩具名字，保证过程中不和狗狗互动。)”可知，第二个实验用来测试狗狗间接学习的能力。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Taken as a group, the dogs picked the correct new toy when asked about 90% of the time if they had previously been told its name directly, compared with about 80% of the time if they had previously only overheard its name — a statistically insignificant difference.(整体来看，如果之前直接告知名字，狗狗选出正确新玩具的概率约90%；如果只是无意中听到名字，正确率约80%—— 二者数据差异在统计学上并不显著。)”可知，偷听也能有效地帮助狗狗学习。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So humans might first develop the ability to understand complex social interactions and only later use this complex understanding to develop language.(所以人类或许先拥有理解复杂社会互动的能力，之后才借助这种复杂理解发展出语言。)”可知，社交能力可能是语言发展的基础。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） What’s personal branding?

Tom was a quiet and modest young man, but there was something about him that caught the attention of his coworkers. He seemed constantly tired, and often nodded off during his shifts. His coworkers were puzzled by this. Some of them even started whispering to each other, suspecting that Tom might be lazy or irresponsible. However, there was also a kind-hearted woman named Lisa who noticed Tom’s situation and was worried. Instead of ignoring it or making unkind assumptions, she decided to reach out to him. One day, during a break, Lisa sat down beside Tom and gently asked him if everything was okay. Tom looked a bit hesitant at first. He was aware of the whispers and the negative looks he’d been getting from some of his coworkers. He was afraid that Lisa might also be there to scold (责骂) him. But then, seeing the genuine concern in Lisa’s eyes, he opened up. He told Lisa that he had just moved to this city for this job. Since it was all so sudden and he hadn’t had much time to look around for accommodation, he ended up renting an apartment that was far from the workplace. He couldn’t afford a car and had to rely on public transportation, which often had long delays. As a result, he had to get up very early in the morning. To make matters worse, the bus route was not direct, and he had to change several times. By the time he reached the store, he was already worn out. Lisa listened attentively, her heart filled with sympathy. She knew she had to do something to help. Therefore, she decided to talk to their manager about Tom’s situation. The manager was also a very understanding person. Together, they came up with an idea. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 Later, Tom was called into the manager’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After living in the storeroom for nearly a month, Tom finally found a suitable apartment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Later, Tom was called into the manager’s office. The manager told him that they were going to clear out a corner of the storeroom and let him live there temporarily. This way, he could save a great deal of time on commuting and get enough rest. Upon hearing this, Tom’s eyes widened in surprise and tears of gratitude streamed down his face. The day after he moved into the storeroom, Tom’s overall condition changed dramatically. He was full of energy and enthusiasm during work. Seeing Tom’s transformation, his coworkers felt ashamed of their previous unkind thoughts and whispers. After living in the storeroom for nearly a month, Tom finally found a suitable apartment. It was within walking distance of the store and Tom was excited about it. All of his coworkers came to help him move. Tom was deeply grateful for their support. He particularly thanked the manager and Lisa, whose help not only solved his practical problem but also made him feel the warmth of the workplace. This incident also reminded people that everyone may face difficulties and a little more understanding and help can make a big difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了新员工汤姆因住所远、交通不便而上班疲惫，遭同事误解，善良的同事丽莎发现后询问原因，得知汤姆困境，丽莎和经理决定帮汤姆，让他暂时住在储藏室。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，汤姆被叫到经理办公室。”可知，第一段可描写经理告知汤姆让他暂时住在储藏室，汤姆很感激，搬进去后状态改变，同事们感到羞愧。 ②由第二段首句内容“在储藏室住了近一个月后，汤姆终于找到了一套合适的公寓。”可知，第二段可描写汤姆找到合适公寓，同事帮忙搬家，汤姆感谢经理和丽莎，这件事提醒人们要多理解和帮助他人。 2.续写线索：汤姆被叫到办公室——经理告知安排——汤姆感激并搬进储藏室——状态改变，同事羞愧——汤姆找到合适公寓——同事帮忙搬家——汤姆感谢——事件启示 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：tell/inform ②改变：change/alter ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②兴奋：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing Tom’s transformation, his coworkers felt ashamed of their previous unkind thoughts and whispers.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】He particularly thanked the manager and Lisa, whose help not only solved his practical problem but also made him feel the warmth of the workplace.（运用了whose引导的非限制性定语从句以及not only...but also...连接并列成分） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 威海二中2025-2026学年高二第二学期阶段性检测 英语 第I卷 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B On a low hill near the coast of Maine, colorful flowers glow in the May sunlight, while new plants emerge from the soil. This is Dandy Ram Farm, run by Bo Dennis, who grows flowers for weddings and other special events. “When people come to us, we say, ‘This is what we’re good at: local, sustainably grown flowers,’” Dennis says. “Sometimes clients ask for out-of-season flowers. I say, ‘Great! Have a good celebration. I don’t think we’re the right fit for you.’” What Dennis grows won’t be found in supermarkets or big-box stores. The flowers that fill those shelves are imports, and they are part of an enormously successful international market that sells blooms thousands of miles from their fields of origin and earns more than $25 billion every year. But pesticides and other agrochemicals required to sustain that scale of production can injure workers and their families. Studies in Ecuador, the world’s third-largest flower exporter, link flower farm chemicals to children’s attention problems and birth abnormalities. And the risks extend to people around the world. In Belgium, florists (花商) with imported flowers had unhealthy levels of pesticide chemicals on their gloves, levels high enough to burn the skin if it wasn’t protected. In response, small U. S. operations such as Dennis’s Dandy Ram Farm are building a new agricultural model — a “slow flower movement,” which offers a cleaner, greener alternative to modern floral production. Flowers are so present in our lives that we almost do not see them: wrapped in paper in every market, placed in a vase on a table in any cafe. But while they are quotidian, they memorialize the most important days of our lives. We invest them with so much meaning that we demand they always be perfect. But those perfect plants don’t grow that way without assistance. They are routinely treated with chemicals to ensure they meet our expectations. Dennis and other growers aim to protect ecosystems while bringing a bit of beauty — wild, imperfect, unpredictable — back into the world. 4. Why does Bo Dennis turn down some clients’ requests? A. He sticks to eco-friendly farming. B. He wants to provide perfect flowers. C. He fails to compete with large stores. D. He sells flowers for specific occasions. 5. What concern does paragraph 3 raise about the global flower industry? A. Its economic costs. B. Its health impacts. C. Its growth prospects. D. Its technological challenges. 6. What does the underlined word “quotidian” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Harmful. B. Perfect. C. Common. D. Meaningful. 7. Which saying best reflects Dennis’s philosophy on flower growing? A. Let things be as they are. B. All good things take time. C. Perfection is the enemy of good. D. Growth requires careful planning. C Growing up in the 1980s in London, I could only enjoy fresh local strawberries for about a month each summer when they were in season. This short season created a special association with summer traditions — most notably the Wimbledon tennis tournament, where people consume over two million strawberries annually. Today, however, my children are likely to think of strawberries as I think of apples or bananas — affordable, year-round fruits, barely more remarkable than potatoes. The growth of the strawberry industry has been headlong, and shows few signs of slowing. It is impossible to separate this growth from the rise of petroleum (石油) over the same period, because plastics, pesticides and jet fuel are as essential to the industry as seeds and rainfall. Tender, sweet and quick to go bad, the history of the strawberry is shot through with challenges of growing it and getting it to market. The polymer (聚合物) innovation started to change that in the 1960s. Farmers started to cover their crops with poly-tunnels (塑料大棚) to protect them from rain and excessive sunlight, and ensure a constant high temperature that could extend the growing season well into the spring and autumn. Meanwhile, the clear plastic boxes also saved the day. With cold storage and air shipping, berries became a worldwide business. However, this progress comes with a cost. The environmental impact of such rapid expansion is significant. Increased production has led to higher resource consumption, land degradation (退化), and other ecological challenges. The intensive farming practices required to meet the growing demand for strawberries have put pressure on natural resources and ecosystems. The rise of strawberries as a global product is impressive, but it also serves as a reminder of the need to address the costs of such growth. 8. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 1? A. The seasonal significance of strawberries. B. The increasing availability of strawberries. C. The popularity of strawberries at Wimbledon. D. The comparison between strawberries and other fruits. 9. What role does petroleum play in the strawberry industry? A. It reduces the cost of production. B. It replaces traditional farming methods. C. It extends strawberries’ growing season. D. It provides essential materials for modern farming. 10. What does the author mean by saying “this progress comes with a cost” in paragraph 4? A. The progress requires more labor and time. B. The strawberry boom brings ecological issues. C. The quality of strawberries has decreased over time. D. The global demand for strawberries is unsustainable. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the rise of strawberries? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Disappointed. D Words can be learned by young children hearing adults secretly, but now researchers have found that certain dogs can do something similar. Scientists have discovered dogs with the unusual ability to learn the names of the objects can pick up such labels by eavesdropping on conversations. The team say such abilities are thought to rely on social cognitive (认知的) skills, from identifying the relevant word in a conversation to using clues from people’s eyes, gestures and voices to understand what the word refers to. “There are a lot of social things happening here,” said Dr Shany Dror, first author of the research. Writing in the journal Science, the team report how they made their discovery by working with “gifted” dogs. In the first experiment, 10 such dogs were each introduced to two new toys. Each toy was presented to a dog with the name of the toy repeated before the dog was allowed to play with it. This process was carried out many times for several days. A second experiment was similar but instead of introducing a new toy directly to the dog, family members passed it between each other while using its name, ensuring they did not interact with their dog in the process. Its owner then asked the dog to fetch toys by name, with 12 trials for new toys and 12 for familiar ones. Taken as a group, the dogs picked the correct new toy when asked about 90% of the time if they had previously been told its name directly, compared with about 80% of the time if they had previously only overheard its name — a statistically insignificant difference. What’s more, in both experiments the dogs did better than chance at picking the correct new toy of the two. “The fact that this skill exists in a species that doesn’t have language suggests that the skill itself predates (早于) language,” said Dror. “So humans might first develop the ability to understand complex social interactions and only later use this complex understanding to develop language. ” 12. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “eavesdropping on” in paragraph 1? A. actively participating in B. paying close attention to C. secretly listening to D. aimlessly stepping into 13. Why was the second experiment conducted in another way? A. To test dogs’ ability to learn indirectly. B. To compare dogs’ intelligence levels. C. To simplify the process of toy introduction. D. To explore how dogs and humans communicate. 14. What can we conclude from the experimental results? A. Direct teaching is statistically more effective. B. Overhearing reliably helps dogs’ learning. C. Dogs’ learning rate depends on toy types. D. Repetition is crucial to dogs’ learning. 15. What do Dror’s words in the last paragraph imply? A. Languages are not unique to humans. B. Dogs can develop basic social abilities. C. Communicating requires many cognitive skills. D. Social skills may be the basis for language development. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） What’s personal branding?

Tom was a quiet and modest young man, but there was something about him that caught the attention of his coworkers. He seemed constantly tired, and often nodded off during his shifts. His coworkers were puzzled by this. Some of them even started whispering to each other, suspecting that Tom might be lazy or irresponsible. However, there was also a kind-hearted woman named Lisa who noticed Tom’s situation and was worried. Instead of ignoring it or making unkind assumptions, she decided to reach out to him. One day, during a break, Lisa sat down beside Tom and gently asked him if everything was okay. Tom looked a bit hesitant at first. He was aware of the whispers and the negative looks he’d been getting from some of his coworkers. He was afraid that Lisa might also be there to scold (责骂) him. But then, seeing the genuine concern in Lisa’s eyes, he opened up. He told Lisa that he had just moved to this city for this job. Since it was all so sudden and he hadn’t had much time to look around for accommodation, he ended up renting an apartment that was far from the workplace. He couldn’t afford a car and had to rely on public transportation, which often had long delays. As a result, he had to get up very early in the morning. To make matters worse, the bus route was not direct, and he had to change several times. By the time he reached the store, he was already worn out. Lisa listened attentively, her heart filled with sympathy. She knew she had to do something to help. Therefore, she decided to talk to their manager about Tom’s situation. The manager was also a very understanding person. Together, they came up with an idea. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 Later, Tom was called into the manager’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After living in the storeroom for nearly a month, Tom finally found a suitable apartment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
