B When snow fell over Longnan, a county in Jiangxi Province, in January 2024, Zhong Yanpeng’s phone buzzed with worry. He was in neighboring Guangdong, yet his mind was back home — on the 350-year-old Hakka round house he had tended for over 50 years. “Rain and snow are the worst enemies of these old walls,” he told his team, and packed his tools quickly. He drove through the storm across the provincial border to Yangcun Village. The four-story building stood silent beneath the grey sky, its rammed-earth (夯土) walls damp-darkened. Zhong stepped closer, tapped gently with his small hammer, and listened. “Still solid,” he nodded in relief. To most visitors, these round houses are mere curiosities. For Zhong, they represent memory, duty, and identity. Raised in one, he took up carpentry at 16 and stuck to the craft. Their strength comes not only from clay and lime, but also from brown sugar, egg whites, and sticky rice — ingredients aged for months for use in defensive walls. “Ancient wisdom,” he said with a smile. Yet such wisdom is fragile. Skilled craftsmen were scarce in the 1980s, and the shortage persists today. His nephew Li Minghua, also a master, sighs about youth: “They favor city apartments. My team’s youngest member is over 40.” Zhong travels nationwide to learn from masters, consulting historians and former residents, and recording every detail. “Each house bears a unique story. Restoration must stay true to original materials, measurements, and methods,” he says. By 2023, Longnan had restored nearly 100 round houses, but Zhong sees no victory here. “My biggest concern is skill inheritance. As the senior craftsman, I must set an example.” His team now totals more than 50 members. Still, the real question lingers: will young people choose working with traditional rammed-earth construction over urban comfort? The answer remains uncertain. 24. Why does Zhong tap the old wall with his hammer? A. To record building data. B. To repair broken walls. C. To take measurements. D. To check its condition. 25. What makes Hakka round house walls tough? A. Local modern building clay. B. Specially mixed and aged materials. C. Common kitchen ingredients. D. Modern protective chemicals. 26. What is Zhong’s attitude toward restoration work? A. Casual and careless. B. Proud and worried. C. Cautious and faithful. D. Doubtful and negative. 27. What is victory in Zhong’s eyes? A. Building a larger team. B. Passing down the skills. C. Restoring more round houses. D. Attracting young tourists. C A recent Harvard-led study revealed that 81% of American teenagers experience overwhelming pressure concerning their academic performance, physical appearance, and future prospects. Chinese youth are no exception to this trend. The widely discussed phenomena of neijuan — intense peer competition — and tangping — a tendency to give up on hard challenges — vividly reflect their shared struggles. Clearly, intense competition and stress have become a global concern. Today’s younger generation, commonly referred to as Gen Z, is digitally native, culturally open, and deeply values mental well-being alongside meaningful career pursuits. When external demands become excessive, some choose to “lie flat” as a psychological coping mechanism — a self-protective response to an overburdening environment. Encouragingly, China has been proactively dealing with this issue. The government continues to channel substantial investment into infrastructure, education, and R&D, while developing entrepreneurship at the same time to broaden job opportunities for young people. In Guangzhou, for instance, business incubators offer integrated workspace and essential resources for startups. Universities, through city-level innovation competitions, actively inspire student creativity and reward entrepreneurial initiatives. These endeavors have yielded tangible outcomes. According to the World Bank’s 2022 data, nearly 46% of China’s workforce is self-employed, in sharp contrast to roughly 10% in the United States — a convincing indicator of China’s vibrant startup ecosystem. Nevertheless, challenges happen alongside opportunities. Corporations can play a more supportive role by involving younger employees in decision-making, recognizing their contributions, offering incentives for outstanding performance, and tolerating occasional failures — after all, learning from failures and setbacks is necessary for professional growth. For young individuals themselves, maintaining optimism and self-confidence remains of great importance. They should trust that perseverance and sustained effort will eventually bear fruit. Despite the pressures brought by neijuan, Chinese youth display remarkable resilience and hope for the future. Intelligent, resilient, and exceptionally capable, they are believed to be fit to be tomorrow’s leaders. With sustained societal support, their ambitions are well within reach. I firmly believe the coming generation will shape a brighter world. 28. What is the global issue discussed in the text? A. Youth pressure and fierce competition B. The intense peer competition among youth. C. Young people’s future career challenges. D. The anxiety over appearance among teens. 29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. What Generation Z typically values. B. What kind of response “lying flat” is. C. How mental well-being affects career. D. Why some young people choose “lying flat”. 30. The underlined word “tangible” in paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. uncertain B. concrete C. short-lived D. slight 31. What can be inferred about tackling this issue from the text? A. It requires contributions from different sides. B. It relies on the improvement of the social environment. C. It relies on the natural relief brought by social progress. D. It requires a balance between ambition and mental well-being. D Flavor isn’t just on your tongue — it’s also in your brain. New brain scans have identified a specific region that combines taste and smell into the unified experience we call flavor. Smell and taste are closely connected, says Putu Agus Khorisantono, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. When we eat, food chemicals bind to taste sensors on the tongue, while food smells travel through the mouth and stick to smell sensors in the nose. These two signals combine in the brain to create our sense of flavor. For instance, mangoes and peaches both taste mostly sour, but their different aromas allow us to tell them apart easily. To find exactly where this combination happens in the brain, Khorisantono’s team first trained 25 people to connect specific smell-taste mixtures with particular flavors. Then they gave the participants tiny drinks designed to activate either taste sensors or smell sensors, while scanning their brain activity throughout the process. Using machine learning, the team analyzed the brain scans. They labeled each scan with what the participant had sipped, then trained algorithms to predict what people had tasted based on brain images alone. The best-performing algorithm had been trained on images from a region called the insula (脑岛). Scientists once believed the insula responded only to tastes. But research with rodents in 2017 showed it could also process smells. And last year, scientists discovered that some insula cells respond to combinations of smell and taste, hinting that this region may play a role in identifying flavor. The new study confirms this: the insula is key to both smell and flavor. When participants received either a food smell or a taste, scans of the insula looked strikingly similar, suggesting it interprets smell and taste signals in much the same way. Algorithms trained on other brain regions also performed well, possibly because they receive flavor signals from the insula, Khorisantono explains. These findings offer new insight into how our brains create the rich experience of flavor from separate inputs. 32. What were the participants asked to do in the experiment? A. Taste mangoes and peaches. B. Describe the feelings brought by drinks. C. Distinguish sour foods by smell. D. Associate smell-taste mixtures with flavors. 33. Why was machine learning used in the study? A. To optimize brain scan images. B. To identify the brain region for flavor. C. To confirm what people had tasted. D. To mark brain scans with sipped drinks. 34. What did scientists once think about the insula? A. It was only responsive to tastes. B. It was only sensitive to smells. C. It could combine smell and taste. D. It played no role in identifying flavor. 35. What is the main finding of the new study? A. Flavor experience largely depends on the tongue. B. Flavor processing takes place within a single brain area. C. Flavor arises from how the brain combines smell and taste. D. Smell and taste keep separate from each other in the brain. 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。 Subsidence (沉降) happens when land sinks because water, soil, rock or other underground materials are removed. It can happen quickly, with the sudden appearance of a sinkhole or an abrupt shift during an earthquake. It can also happen gradually as people remove groundwater from aquifers (含水层). ____36____ Most subsidence occurs where people pump groundwater out of aquifers. ____37____ Rather, they are porous (透水的) rocks that hold water like vast sponges. Water that soaks into the ground after a good rain or snowmelt fills the spaces in the rock. ____38____ But the more water we remove, the more air pockets we leave behind. Overlying rock and soil collapse into the porous rock, causing the surface to sink. Aquifers can take thousands of years to refill with water. Thus, subsidence is an ongoing issue in many places. Sometimes subsidence happens because people remove other substances from the ground. ____39____ When those materials are removed, land settles into the gaps, leading to subsidence. Subsidence happens around the world, but it is more common in areas with large cities and lots of agriculture. ____40____ Cities face an additional problem if they are built on fine sediments (沉积物) left behind by rivers. These places can sink due to the weight of the buildings above them. A. Coastal cities sink due to subsidence. B. This includes mining for minerals, oil or gas. C. These natural storage areas are not underground lakes. D. When we dig wells, we tap into these groundwater sources. E. Over time, the overlying land sinks down to fill the open space. F. Subsidence happens as farmers use groundwater for their crops. G. Human activity in these places can lead to overuse of groundwater. 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。 In November 2020, I went kayaking with my friend Liz in San Luis Obispo, California, where humpback whales had come to ____41____.

Suddenly, fish started ____47____ into our kayak like popcorn popping. That meant whales were nearby — and we needed to escape. But before we could move, our kayak was lifted out of the ____48____, held between two enormous jaws. Liz and I fell into the whale’s ____49____. My whole body was covered except for my right arm. Liz looked up directly at the upper jaw, which she later ____50____ as a big white wall. As the whale’s mouth closed, Liz stretched her arm up to ____51____ it. I felt the creature begin to dive. Still, I didn’t ____52____. I thought: I’ve got to fight this. I’ve got to breathe. Whales have enormous mouths but tiny throats. Anything they can’t swallow they ____53____. That included us. As soon as the whale dipped under water, it ____54____ us out. The whole experience lasted only 10 seconds. A retired firefighter paddled over. “We thought you were dead!” he said. When we got home, Liz pulled off her shirt — and six small fish flopped out. Even she had to laugh. I am much more aware now of the ____55____ of nature and the ocean. 41.

Buried in daily school routines, I rarely stepped out of the city and held a fixed idea of mountain villages in Yunnan. I imagined rough dirt roads, outdated facilities and limited chances for development, so I felt reluctant (勉强的) when my parents suggested spending summer break at my hometown village on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The moment we drove into the mountainous countryside, my old opinions were completely overturned. Bathed in bright plateau sunshine, the village unfolded before my eyes with refreshing green hills and tidy paved paths. Neat courtyards lined the road, and soft wind carried the faint fragrance of wild mushrooms and local honey, typical treats of Yunnan’s highland. My cousin once hunted for job opportunities in crowded cities. Eventually, he chose to return home, determined to bring local farm products back to life. He noticed that huge numbers of tourists from other provinces came this summer to escape heat waves, attracted by the cool mountain climate. Surrounded by lush mountains, the village produced fresh wild mushrooms and pure plateau honey, yet these delicious native specialties remained unknown to outside buyers due to poor exposure. To seize this summer chance, he launched an online store and tried simple live-streaming and advertising sessions. Inspired by his passion, I volunteered to help. I took vivid photos of fresh mountain produce, sorted product details and replied patiently to online customers. Little by little, I witnessed how modern technology breathed new life into this peaceful Yunnan mountain village. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As visitors who had seen our live-streaming came pouring in, our business took an unexpected turn. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After this unforgettable summer in the mountains, my old views about country life were completely rewritten. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026—2027学年度第一学期第一次素养训练 高二英语 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the woman do next?

He was in neighboring Guangdong, yet his mind was back home — on the 350-year-old Hakka round house he had tended for over 50 years. “Rain and snow are the worst enemies of these old walls,” he told his team, and packed his tools quickly. He drove through the storm across the provincial border to Yangcun Village. The four-story building stood silent beneath the grey sky, its rammed-earth (夯土) walls damp-darkened. Zhong stepped closer, tapped gently with his small hammer, and listened. “Still solid,” he nodded in relief. To most visitors, these round houses are mere curiosities. For Zhong, they represent memory, duty, and identity. Raised in one, he took up carpentry at 16 and stuck to the craft. Their strength comes not only from clay and lime, but also from brown sugar, egg whites, and sticky rice — ingredients aged for months for use in defensive walls. “Ancient wisdom,” he said with a smile. Yet such wisdom is fragile. Skilled craftsmen were scarce in the 1980s, and the shortage persists today. His nephew Li Minghua, also a master, sighs about youth: “They favor city apartments. My team’s youngest member is over 40.” Zhong travels nationwide to learn from masters, consulting historians and former residents, and recording every detail. “Each house bears a unique story. Restoration must stay true to original materials, measurements, and methods,” he says. By 2023, Longnan had restored nearly 100 round houses, but Zhong sees no victory here. “My biggest concern is skill inheritance. As the senior craftsman, I must set an example.” His team now totals more than 50 members. Still, the real question lingers: will young people choose working with traditional rammed-earth construction over urban comfort? The answer remains uncertain. 24. Why does Zhong tap the old wall with his hammer? A. To record building data. B. To repair broken walls. C. To take measurements. D. To check its condition. 25. What makes Hakka round house walls tough? A. Local modern building clay. B. Specially mixed and aged materials. C. Common kitchen ingredients. D. Modern protective chemicals. 26. What is Zhong’s attitude toward restoration work? A. Casual and careless. B. Proud and worried. C. Cautious and faithful. D. Doubtful and negative. 27. What is victory in Zhong’s eyes? A. Building a larger team. B. Passing down the skills. C. Restoring more round houses. D. Attracting young tourists. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了传统匠人钟彦鹏五十余年坚守客家围屋修复保护事业、恪守传统修复工艺，同时担忧传统技艺传承的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Zhong stepped closer, tapped gently with his small hammer, and listened. “Still solid,” he nodded in relief. (钟走近，用小锤子轻轻敲击，并倾听。“依然坚固。”他如释重负地点点头。)”可知，钟彦鹏敲击墙壁是为了通过声音判断墙体结构是否依然坚固，目的是检查墙体的健康状况。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Their strength comes not only from clay and lime, but also from brown sugar, egg whites, and sticky rice — ingredients aged for months for use in defensive walls. (它们的强度不仅来自黏土和石灰，还来自红糖、蛋清和糯米——这些成分经过数月的陈化，用于防御墙。)”可知，客家围屋的墙壁使用了多种原料混合、并且经过数月陈化处理的特殊材料，这是墙壁坚固耐用的核心原因。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Zhong travels nationwide to learn from masters, consulting historians and former residents, and recording every detail. “Each house bears a unique story. Restoration must stay true to original materials, measurements, and methods,” he says. (钟走遍全国向各位匠人学习，咨询历史学家和原住居民，并且记录每一处细节。“每一座围屋都承载着独特的故事，修复必须忠实于原始材料、尺寸和工艺方法。”他说。)”可知，钟彦鹏在修复工作中不放过任何细节，严格恪守“忠于原貌”的修复原则，体现出他对修复工作谨慎小心、忠于传统的态度。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By 2023, Longnan had restored nearly 100 round houses, but Zhong sees no victory here. (到2023年，龙南已经修复了近100座围屋，但钟并不认为这是胜利。)”和“My biggest concern is skill inheritance. (我最大的担忧是技艺的传承。)”可知，在钟彦鹏看来，修复一百座围屋也算不上真正的成功，只有解决他最大的担忧，实现传统夯土建造技艺的传承，才是真正的胜利。 C A recent Harvard-led study revealed that 81% of American teenagers experience overwhelming pressure concerning their academic performance, physical appearance, and future prospects. Chinese youth are no exception to this trend. The widely discussed phenomena of neijuan — intense peer competition — and tangping — a tendency to give up on hard challenges — vividly reflect their shared struggles. Clearly, intense competition and stress have become a global concern. Today’s younger generation, commonly referred to as Gen Z, is digitally native, culturally open, and deeply values mental well-being alongside meaningful career pursuits. When external demands become excessive, some choose to “lie flat” as a psychological coping mechanism — a self-protective response to an overburdening environment. Encouragingly, China has been proactively dealing with this issue. The government continues to channel substantial investment into infrastructure, education, and R&D, while developing entrepreneurship at the same time to broaden job opportunities for young people. In Guangzhou, for instance, business incubators offer integrated workspace and essential resources for startups. Universities, through city-level innovation competitions, actively inspire student creativity and reward entrepreneurial initiatives. These endeavors have yielded tangible outcomes. According to the World Bank’s 2022 data, nearly 46% of China’s workforce is self-employed, in sharp contrast to roughly 10% in the United States — a convincing indicator of China’s vibrant startup ecosystem. Nevertheless, challenges happen alongside opportunities. Corporations can play a more supportive role by involving younger employees in decision-making, recognizing their contributions, offering incentives for outstanding performance, and tolerating occasional failures — after all, learning from failures and setbacks is necessary for professional growth. For young individuals themselves, maintaining optimism and self-confidence remains of great importance. They should trust that perseverance and sustained effort will eventually bear fruit. Despite the pressures brought by neijuan, Chinese youth display remarkable resilience and hope for the future. Intelligent, resilient, and exceptionally capable, they are believed to be fit to be tomorrow’s leaders. With sustained societal support, their ambitions are well within reach. I firmly believe the coming generation will shape a brighter world. 28. What is the global issue discussed in the text? A. Youth pressure and fierce competition B. The intense peer competition among youth. C. Young people’s future career challenges. D. The anxiety over appearance among teens. 29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. What Generation Z typically values. B. What kind of response “lying flat” is. C. How mental well-being affects career. D. Why some young people choose “lying flat”. 30. The underlined word “tangible” in paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. uncertain B. concrete C. short-lived D. slight 31. What can be inferred about tackling this issue from the text? A. It requires contributions from different sides. B. It relies on the improvement of the social environment. C. It relies on the natural relief brought by social progress. D. It requires a balance between ambition and mental well-being. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了全球青年面临的竞争与压力问题，以及社会各界如何应对这一现象。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Clearly, intense competition and stress have become a global concern.(显然，激烈的竞争和压力已经成为一个全球性的问题)”可知，本文讨论的全球议题是青年群体普遍面临的压力与激烈的同辈竞争。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“When external demands become excessive, some choose to “lie flat” as a psychological coping mechanism — a self-protective response to an overburdening environment.(当外界要求变得过度时，一些人选择“躺平”作为一种心理应对机制——这是对负担过重环境的一种自我保护性反应)”可知，本段主要解释了为什么一些年轻人会选择“躺平”。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“These endeavors have yielded tangible outcomes. According to the World Bank’s 2022 data, nearly 46% of China’s workforce is self-employed, in sharp contrast to roughly 10% in the United States — a convincing indicator of China’s vibrant startup ecosystem.(这些努力取得了tangible的成果。根据世界银行2022年的数据，中国近46%的劳动力属于自主创业，和美国约10%的比例形成鲜明对比，这是中国创业生态充满活力的有力佐证。)”可知，后文给出具体的数据证据，说明这些努力取得了切实、具体的成果，“tangible”意思与“concrete(具体的)”相近。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段政府采取措施、第四段中“Corporations can play a more supportive role by involving younger employees in decision‑making, recognizing their contributions, offering incentives for outstanding performance, and tolerating occasional failures (企业可以发挥更积极的支持作用，让年轻员工参与决策，认可他们的贡献，为出色的表现提供激励，并包容偶尔的失败)” 以及第五段中“For young individuals themselves, maintaining optimism and self‑confidence remains of great importance.(对于年轻人自身来说，保持乐观和自信依旧十分重要。)”可知，解决该问题需要政府、企业以及年轻人自身等不同方面共同出力。 D Flavor isn’t just on your tongue — it’s also in your brain. New brain scans have identified a specific region that combines taste and smell into the unified experience we call flavor. Smell and taste are closely connected, says Putu Agus Khorisantono, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. When we eat, food chemicals bind to taste sensors on the tongue, while food smells travel through the mouth and stick to smell sensors in the nose. These two signals combine in the brain to create our sense of flavor. For instance, mangoes and peaches both taste mostly sour, but their different aromas allow us to tell them apart easily. To find exactly where this combination happens in the brain, Khorisantono’s team first trained 25 people to connect specific smell-taste mixtures with particular flavors. Then they gave the participants tiny drinks designed to activate either taste sensors or smell sensors, while scanning their brain activity throughout the process. Using machine learning, the team analyzed the brain scans. They labeled each scan with what the participant had sipped, then trained algorithms to predict what people had tasted based on brain images alone. The best-performing algorithm had been trained on images from a region called the insula (脑岛). Scientists once believed the insula responded only to tastes. But research with rodents in 2017 showed it could also process smells. And last year, scientists discovered that some insula cells respond to combinations of smell and taste, hinting that this region may play a role in identifying flavor. The new study confirms this: the insula is key to both smell and flavor. When participants received either a food smell or a taste, scans of the insula looked strikingly similar, suggesting it interprets smell and taste signals in much the same way. Algorithms trained on other brain regions also performed well, possibly because they receive flavor signals from the insula, Khorisantono explains. These findings offer new insight into how our brains create the rich experience of flavor from separate inputs. 32. What were the participants asked to do in the experiment? A. Taste mangoes and peaches. B. Describe the feelings brought by drinks. C. Distinguish sour foods by smell. D. Associate smell-taste mixtures with flavors. 33. Why was machine learning used in the study? A. To optimize brain scan images. B. To identify the brain region for flavor. C. To confirm what people had tasted. D. To mark brain scans with sipped drinks. 34. What did scientists once think about the insula? A. It was only responsive to tastes. B. It was only sensitive to smells. C. It could combine smell and taste. D. It played no role in identifying flavor. 35. What is the main finding of the new study? A. Flavor experience largely depends on the tongue. B. Flavor processing takes place within a single brain area. C. Flavor arises from how the brain combines smell and taste. D. Smell and taste keep separate from each other in the brain. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了风味不只是舌头的感受，而是大脑整合味觉与嗅觉信号形成的体验。同时，科学家通过实验研究证实脑岛是大脑处理、整合嗅觉和味觉信号从而产生风味感知的关键区域，让人们进一步了解大脑如何生成丰富的风味感受。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To find exactly where this combination happens in the brain, Khorisantono’s team first trained 25 people to connect specific smell‑taste mixtures with particular flavors.(为了精准找到大脑中信号整合发生的位置，Khorisantono的研究团队首先对25名受试者进行训练，让他们将特定的嗅觉—味觉混合物与特定风味建立联系。)”可知，在实验中，研究人员要求受试者把嗅觉—味觉混合物和对应的风味建立关联。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Using machine learning, the team analyzed the brain scans. They labeled each scan with what the participant had sipped, then trained algorithms to predict what people had tasted based on brain images alone. The best‑performing algorithm had been trained on images from a region called the insula (脑岛).(该团队运用机器学习分析脑部扫描图像。他们按照受试者饮用的物质给每一份扫描图像做好标记，之后训练算法仅依靠大脑图像来预测人们品尝到的东西。表现最佳的算法是使用来自脑岛区域的图像完成训练的。)”可知，研究使用机器学习，目的是分析脑部扫描，定位处理风味的大脑区域。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Scientists once believed the insula responded only to tastes.(科学家曾经认为脑岛只对味觉产生反应。)”可知，过去科学家认为脑岛仅仅能够响应味觉。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“New brain scans have identified a specific region that combines taste and smell into the unified experience we call flavor.(新的脑部扫描发现了一个特定脑区，该区域将味觉与嗅觉结合，形成我们称之为风味的统一感受。)”以及第六段中的“The new study confirms this: the insula is key to both smell and flavor. When participants received either a food smell or a taste, scans of the insula looked strikingly similar, suggesting it interprets smell and taste signals in much the same way.(这项新研究证实了这一点：脑岛对于嗅觉和风味感知都至关重要。当参与者接收到食物气味或者味觉刺激时，脑岛的扫描结果惊人地相似，这表明它以几乎相同的方式解读嗅觉和味觉信号。)”可知，这项新研究的主要发现是风味产生于大脑对嗅觉和味觉的整合处理。 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。 Subsidence (沉降) happens when land sinks because water, soil, rock or other underground materials are removed. It can happen quickly, with the sudden appearance of a sinkhole or an abrupt shift during an earthquake. It can also happen gradually as people remove groundwater from aquifers (含水层). ____36____ Most subsidence occurs where people pump groundwater out of aquifers. ____37____ Rather, they are porous (透水的) rocks that hold water like vast sponges. Water that soaks into the ground after a good rain or snowmelt fills the spaces in the rock. ____38____ But the more water we remove, the more air pockets we leave behind. Overlying rock and soil collapse into the porous rock, causing the surface to sink. Aquifers can take thousands of years to refill with water. Thus, subsidence is an ongoing issue in many places. Sometimes subsidence happens because people remove other substances from the ground. ____39____ When those materials are removed, land settles into the gaps, leading to subsidence. Subsidence happens around the world, but it is more common in areas with large cities and lots of agriculture. ____40____ Cities face an additional problem if they are built on fine sediments (沉积物) left behind by rivers. These places can sink due to the weight of the buildings above them. A. Coastal cities sink due to subsidence. B. This includes mining for minerals, oil or gas. C. These natural storage areas are not underground lakes. D. When we dig wells, we tap into these groundwater sources. E. Over time, the overlying land sinks down to fill the open space. F. Subsidence happens as farmers use groundwater for their crops. G. Human activity in these places can lead to overuse of groundwater. 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. D 39. B 40.

Buried in daily school routines, I rarely stepped out of the city and held a fixed idea of mountain villages in Yunnan. I imagined rough dirt roads, outdated facilities and limited chances for development, so I felt reluctant (勉强的) when my parents suggested spending summer break at my hometown village on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The moment we drove into the mountainous countryside, my old opinions were completely overturned. Bathed in bright plateau sunshine, the village unfolded before my eyes with refreshing green hills and tidy paved paths. Neat courtyards lined the road, and soft wind carried the faint fragrance of wild mushrooms and local honey, typical treats of Yunnan’s highland. My cousin once hunted for job opportunities in crowded cities. Eventually, he chose to return home, determined to bring local farm products back to life. He noticed that huge numbers of tourists from other provinces came this summer to escape heat waves, attracted by the cool mountain climate. Surrounded by lush mountains, the village produced fresh wild mushrooms and pure plateau honey, yet these delicious native specialties remained unknown to outside buyers due to poor exposure. To seize this summer chance, he launched an online store and tried simple live-streaming and advertising sessions. Inspired by his passion, I volunteered to help. I took vivid photos of fresh mountain produce, sorted product details and replied patiently to online customers. Little by little, I witnessed how modern technology breathed new life into this peaceful Yunnan mountain village. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As visitors who had seen our live-streaming came pouring in, our business took an unexpected turn. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After this unforgettable summer in the mountains, my old views about country life were completely rewritten. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As visitors who had seen our live-streaming came pouring in, our business took an unexpected turn. Most tourists were fascinated by the tasty wild mushrooms and sweet honey after tasting samples. Many shared our goods on social media and placed orders immediately. Our online shop received countless orders every day, far beyond our original expectations. My cousin and I were busy packing products every afternoon, filled with pride and joy. The quiet mountain village gradually gained wide popularity online. More and more people began to know about the high-quality local specialties hidden in the mountains. After this unforgettable summer in the mountains, my old views about country life were completely rewritten. I truly witnessed how youth power and digital sales pushed rural revitalization forward. The countryside is no longer a backward place but a promising land full of chances. Inspired by my cousin, I made up my mind to equip myself with solid expertise, striving to inject vitality into rural construction and empower villagers to embrace a prosperous and bright future. I realized that modern technology can greatly change rural development. Even remote mountain villages can embrace new vitality with innovation and hard work. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了原本对云南乡村抱有偏见的“我”暑假来到老家，目睹表哥借助网店直播推广本地特产，自己也参与其中，最终改变了对乡村的固有看法，立志将来投身乡村建设的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写观看直播的游客大量到访，品尝并宣传本地特产，网店订单激增，我和表哥忙碌打包，村子线上知名度不断提高。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写这个夏天彻底扭转了我对乡村的固有印象，我见识到青年与数字力量助力乡村发展，受到表哥鼓舞，立志学好本领投身乡村建设。 2.续写线索：游客涌入——品尝特产——转发下单——忙碌备货——观念转变——立志投身乡建设 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激励：inspire/motivate ②努力：strive/endeavor 情绪类 ①着迷的：fascinated/enchanted ②喜悦：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】I truly witnessed how youth power and digital sales pushed rural revitalization forward.
