And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 1. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 2. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 3. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个招募志愿者的环保项目。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Great UK WaterBlitz部分中“To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. (要参与即将到来的活动，只需在earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz网站注册，即可收到更多信息，以及你自己的水质检测工具包。)”可知，The Great UK WaterBlitz项目为参与者配备工具。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Nature’s Calendar部分中“This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. (林地信托基金的这项倡议旨在追踪季节变化和模式，以了解气候变化如何影响我们的生态系统。)”可知，Nature’s Calendar的主要目标是监测气候变化的影响。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Big Butterfly Count部分中“Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. (参与者被要求每天花费 15 分钟，通过他们的网站追踪工具或应用程序来记录自己所看到的蝴蝶。)”、The Great UK WaterBlitz部分中“The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. (下一项活动将于2025年4月25日至28日开展，届时将邀请志愿者记录当地淡水水源的水质情况。)”；The Big Garden Birdwatch部分中“Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. (该活动由英国皇家鸟类保护协会组织，这是全球规模最大的花园野生动物调查活动，每年于一月份开展，活动邀请志愿者报名参与，只需每天花一小时观察自家花园，并记录下所看到的鸟类。)”以及Nature’s Calendar部分中“The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. (这个简单易行的三步流程要求你选定一个物种及其行为表现，确定要记录的区域，并在在线系统中记录下这些行为发生的日期。)”可知，这四个项目的共同之处是它们收集参与者记录的数据。故选C。 B There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit someone you’ve just met with your fist! But I’m in one of those right now. I’m in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the qualifications she’d need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register. Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap. In the rehearsal room, I can’t resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real fight.Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs,“Oh, I’d be awful,” she says.“I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she's just being rather humble. 4. Why does Kate ask the author to hit her? A. To show actors stage fighting skills. B. To teach actors to defend themselves. C. To help actors rehearse an action scene. D. To attract actors' interest in martial arts. 5. What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director? A. She could not find a female teacher. B. She had no prior experience in drama. C. She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D. She had trouble obtaining a certificate. 6. What do the underlined words“smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A difficult technique. B. A dangerous situation. C. A well-planned lesson. D. A misleading performance. 7. What does the author imply about Kate’s real fighting ability? A. She relies a lot on tricks. B. She may lack confidence in herself. C. She might be better than she admits. D. She excels more at performing than fighting. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了舞台格斗指导 Kate Waters 的职业经历，以及作者在她的课堂上学习舞台格斗技巧的经历，展现了 Kate 如何将武术与戏剧结合，成为一名成功的女性舞台格斗指导。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. 她想让我用拳头揍她。但别担心，这一切都是完全假扮出来的！业内被称为 “格斗凯特” 的凯特正在上一堂课，教演员们如何在不受伤的情况下打斗。)” 可知，Kate 让作者打她是为了展示舞台格斗技巧，教演员如何安全地进行舞台打斗。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before.(这可不是个小任务：除了需要高级舞台格斗证书外，她还需要空手道黑带，以及掌握一项她从未尝试过的运动 —— 击剑技能。)”可知，Kate面临的挑战之一是必须掌握一项她不熟悉的运动 —— 击剑。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.(在我们的课上，凯特向我展示了演员在计划好的拍打动作前如何背对观众。当拍打动作发生时，手掌并没有接触皮肤，而是打在空气中：演员会拍打自己的胸部或腿部来制造拍打声。)”可知，舞台格斗并不是真实的打斗，而是通过技巧制造出逼真的效果，具有误导性。因此 “smoke and mirrors” 在此处意为 “一种误导性的表演”。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble.(她笑着说：“哦，那我会很糟糕的。”她说道，“我只会懂得如何假装罢了。”然而，我不禁觉得她只是太谦虚了。)”可知，作者认为Kate说自己在真实打斗中会很糟糕，其实是一种谦虚的说法，暗示她的真实打斗能力可能比她自己承认的要好。 C Not too long ago, on a cold winter night, there was a teenager who wanted more screen time and a parent who said no. The teenager was advocating for her right to scroll (刷屏) for an extra 30 minutes. The parent argued that none of her friends’ parents let them have screens after 9 o’clock. “I thought, in this family, we don’t compare ourselves with other people, Dad?” the teenager replied. The parent — who was me, by the way — just got served. Since they were young, I have told my kids not to compare themselves with other people. I have argued countless times that comparisons are the “thief of joy”. Although my daughter didn’t win, she did help expose one of the worst pieces of advice I have ever given. In my defence, I did what we’ve all done before, which is to repeat received wisdom without exploring the fine differences. But now is the time to set the record straight, which starts with questioning the idea that all social comparison is unhealthy. Social comparisons do, of course, often get us into emotional trouble. But they can be harnessed (利用) for our betterment if we understand how they work. The social comparisons we make — ones that lead us to feel good or bad about ourselves — are vital to our ability to thrive (成长). Science provides a guide we can use to harness the way we perform these comparisons to reduce their negative emotional impacts. Comparing yourself with someone who is outperforming you could result in feelings of envy if you focus on the things they have and you don’t, or it can be energizing and inspiring if you use these comparisons as a source of motivation, for example, “If they can achieve that, so can I.” Comparing yourself with someone who is doing worse than you could result in fear and worry if you think about how you could fall into similar circumstances, or it can draw out feelings of gratitude and appreciation if you use that comparison to broaden your views—for example, “Wow, things could be much worse; I’m doing great.” What I wish I taught my daughter earlier are these nuances. How we feel about ourselves rests not just on whom we compare ourselves with but also on how we think about that comparison. That’s something we all have control over. 8. How did the author feel about his daughter’s argument? A. Excited. B. Inspired. C. Energized. D. Relieved. 9. According to the passage, which best explains why social comparisons can be beneficial? A. They help people avoid emotional trouble completely. B. They provide motivation when viewed from a positive angle. C. They allow people to control others’ opinions effectively. D. They eliminate the fear of falling behind others permanently. 10. Which of the following social comparison examples would the author most likely agree with? A. A student who stops checking classmates’ test scores to avoid feeling bad. B. An employee who feels discouraged after seeing a colleague’s promotion. C. A fitness enthusiast who uses a professional athlete’s training routine as inspiration to improve their own workouts. D. A person who frequently compares their lifestyle with influencers’ selected posts on social media. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Comparing Ourselves with Others Can Become a Healthy Habit B. Comparing Ourselves with Others Can Strengthen Family Ties C. Social Comparisons Can Get Us into Emotional Trouble D. Social Comparisons Can Be Controlled by Science 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章结合作者自己的育儿经历，论述社会比较并非都不健康，可合理利用，促进成长。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Although my daughter didn’t win, she did help expose one of the worst pieces of advice I have ever given. In my defence, I did what we’ve all done before, which is to repeat received wisdom without exploring the fine differences. But now is the time to set the record straight, which starts with questioning the idea that all social comparison is unhealthy.(虽然我的女儿没有赢，但她确实帮助揭露了我曾经给出过的最糟糕的建议之一。在我的辩护中，我做了我们以前都做过的事情，那就是重复公认的智慧，而不探索细微的差异。但现在是时候澄清事实了，首先要质疑所有社会比较都不健康的观点。)”可知，女儿的争论让作者意识到自己的建议有问题，从而受到启发，开始重新思考社会比较的问题。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Comparing yourself with someone who is outperforming you could result in feelings of envy if you focus on the things they have and you don’t, or it can be energizing and inspiring if you use these comparisons as a source of motivation, for example, “If they can achieve that, so can I.”(如果你只关注别人有你没有的东西，那么把自己和比你优秀的人比较可能会让你产生嫉妒心理；但如果你把这些比较当作动力的来源，它也可以让你充满活力和受到鼓舞，例如，“如果他们能做到，我也能。”)”可知，从积极的角度看待社会比较时，它可以提供动力，这是社会比较有益的原因。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Comparing yourself with someone who is outperforming you could result in feelings of envy if you focus on the things they have and you don’t, or it can be energizing and inspiring if you use these comparisons as a source of motivation, for example, “If they can achieve that, so can I.”(如果你只关注别人有你没有的东西，那么把自己和比你优秀的人比较可能会让你产生嫉妒心理；但如果你把这些比较当作动力的来源，它也可以让你充满活力和受到鼓舞，例如，“如果他们能做到，我也能。”)”可知，C选项“一个健身爱好者以专业运动员的训练计划为灵感来改善自己的锻炼”符合作者的观点，即利用社会比较作为动力来源。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中“Social comparisons do, of course, often get us into emotional trouble. But they can be harnessed (利用) for our betterment if we understand how they work.(当然，社会比较常常会让我们陷入情绪困扰。但如果我们了解它们是如何运作的，就可以利用它们来改善自己。)”可知，文章主要讨论了社会比较的积极面，指出如果我们正确理解并利用社会比较，它可以成为一种健康的习惯，帮助我们成长和进步。因此，A选项“Comparing Ourselves with Others Can Become a Healthy Habit(与他人比较可以成为一种健康的习惯)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了加州大学戴维斯分校研发的果冻冰，它可重复使用、生物降解且不融化成液态，用途广泛，目前未上市，还需完善，团队也在研究其他天然聚合物。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing.(它在冰点以下保持固态，在室温下软化，通过简单的清洗和重新冷冻就可以重复使用。)”以及“We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.(我们可以重复使用这种材料，并在多个冷却和升温周期中保持吸热性，这是普通冰无法提供的优势。)”可知，与传统冰相比，果冻冰可以重复使用，这是其一大优势。因此，选项C“Repeated use.(重复使用)”符合题意。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻).(研究小组转向了明胶，一种食品安全的材料，其蛋白质结构即使在冷冻和解冻时也能锁住水分。)”以及第四段中的“The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil.(这种材料由天然成分制成，使用后可生物降解。它不会造成微塑料污染，甚至在添加到土壤中时还能带来改善番茄植物生长的额外好处。)”可知，果冻冰采用的是一种安全的材料，且使用后可生物降解，不会造成微塑料污染，甚至还能改善番茄植物的生长。由此可推知，作者暗示果冻冰降低了对环境的影响。因此，选项D“It lowers environmental impacts.(它降低了环境影响)”符合题意。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing.(尽管这项技术的许可证已经获得，但果冻冰尚未向公众出售。它仍然需要进行市场分析、产品设计和大规模生产测试。)”可知，果冻冰虽然已经获得了技术许可，但仍然需要进行市场分析、产品设计和大规模生产测试，这意味着果冻冰还需要进一步的发展。因此，选项B“Jelly ice needs further development.(果冻冰需要进一步发展)”符合题意。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid.(现在，加州大学戴维斯分校的研究人员发明了一种果冻冰，这是一种可重复使用且可生物降解的替代品，它像冰一样冷却，但永远不会融化成液体。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一种新型的冷却材料——果冻冰，它像冰一样冷却，但永远不会融化成液体。因此，选项C“A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt.(一种不会融化的冷却材料)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选C项。 第二节 七选五 (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。 What is Creative Chaos? Many people who work in creative fields often prefer a chaotic or disorderly environment around them while they work on new ideas or projects. The painter Pablo Picasso once said, “An act of art begins as an act of destruction.” ____16____ Creative chaos occurs when established patterns are broken, with the hope of something new arising from the positive chaos by the destruction. ____17____ They often gain fresh and surprising achievements when getting through a creative deadlock. According to an old saying, one cannot make an omelette (鸡蛋饼) without breaking some eggs. ____18____ One cannot create an exciting new dish without burning several pans and breaking dozens of eggs. People who do well in such an environment are most comfortable at the moment of discovery and beyond. They are less interested in the weeks or months of experimentation that lead up to it. This explains why creative people’s offices are often filled to the ceiling with a mess of papers and materials. ____19____ The excitement of a new discovery matters more. The practice of creative chaos in the workplace has long been debated. Some employees whose jobs require significant creativity often find themselves in conflict with their bosses. These bosses fail to understand their need for disorder. An artist working alone in a studio or a writer working in an office may be able to work in chaos. ____20____ Maintaining a balance between order and disorder can be challenging for companies that need employees with creative backgrounds. A. The theory remains to be proved. B. It can be applied to different situations. C. For them, order and tidiness come second. D. But company employees may lack that luxury. E. This idea goes even further with creative chaos. F. Creative people see this moment as a breakthrough. G. It well describes the phenomenon known as creative chaos. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了“创造性混乱”这一概念，即许多从事创意工作的人偏好在混乱无序的环境中工作，因为打破既定模式往往能带来新的突破和发现。文章还探讨了这一现象在职场中的应用与挑战。 【16题详解】 上文“The painter Pablo Picasso once said, “An act of art begins as an act of destruction.”  (画家巴勃罗·毕加索曾说过：“艺术行为始于破坏行为。”)”引用毕加索的名言，说明艺术创造始于破坏。下文开始解释“Creative chaos occurs when established patterns are broken, with the hope of something new arising from the positive chaos by the destruction. (创造性混乱发生在既定模式被打破之时，人们期望通过这种破坏性的积极混乱过程催生出新的事物。)”。空格处需要承上启下，G项“It well describes the phenomenon known as creative chaos. (它很好地描述了被称为创造性混乱的现象。)”中的“It”指代毕加索的这句话，与上文一致，同时“the phenomenon known as creative chaos”引出下文对创造性混乱的定义。 【17题详解】 上文“Creative chaos occurs when established patterns are broken, with the hope of something new arising from the positive chaos by the destruction. (创造性混乱发生在既定模式被打破之时，人们期望通过这种破坏性的积极混乱过程催生出新的事物。)”说明创造性混乱的含义。下文“They often gain fresh and surprising achievements when getting through a creative deadlock. (他们在突破创意僵局时常常获得新鲜而令人惊喜的成就。)”说明结果。F项“Creative people see this moment as a breakthrough. (有创造力的人把这一刻看作是一个突破。)”中的“this moment”指代上文“something new arising from the positive chaos”，“breakthrough”与下文“fresh and surprising achievements”相呼应。 【18题详解】 上文“According to an old saying, one cannot make an omelette (鸡蛋饼) without breaking some eggs. (根据一句老话，不打破几个鸡蛋就做不成鸡蛋饼。)”引用俗语说明创造需要付出代价。下文“One cannot create an exciting new dish without burning several pans and breaking dozens of eggs. (不烧坏几个锅、不打破几十个鸡蛋，就做不出一道令人兴奋的新菜。)”进一步举例说明。E项“This idea goes even further with creative chaos. (这个想法在创造性混乱中更是如此。)”中的“This idea”指代上文的俗语，“goes even further”引出下文更进一步的例子，说明创造性混乱将这一理念推得更远。 【19题详解】 上文“This explains why creative people's offices are often filled to the ceiling with a mess of papers and materials. (这就解释了为什么有创造力的人的办公室常常堆满了纸张和材料。)”说明创意人士办公室的混乱状态。下文“The excitement of a new discovery matters more. (新发现的兴奋感更为重要。)”说明他们更看重什么。C项“For them, order and tidiness come second. (对他们来说，秩序和整洁排在第二位。)”中的“For them”指代上文的creative people，“order and tidiness come second”与上文的“mess”形成对比，同时与下文“The excitement of a new discovery matters more”构成递进关系。 【20题详解】 上文“An artist working alone in a studio or a writer working in an office may be able to work in chaos. (一个在工作室独自工作的艺术家或一个在办公室工作的作家可能能够在混乱中工作。)”说明个体创意工作者可以在混乱中工作。下文“Maintaining a balance between order and disorder can be challenging for companies that need employees with creative backgrounds. (对于需要有创意背景的员工的公司来说，在秩序和混乱之间保持平衡是具有挑战性的。)”说明公司层面的挑战。空格处需要转折，D项“But company employees may lack that luxury. (但公司员工可能没有那样的奢侈。)”中的“But”表示转折，“that luxury”指代上文个体工作者能在混乱中工作的自由，与下文公司需要平衡秩序和混乱相衔接。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I decided to join a Buy Nothing group, a thick fog of doubt hung over me. I felt increasingly ____21____ as I looked at the possessions crowding my shelves. But the moment I clicked “OK,” I was ____22____ by a welcoming community filled with good intentions. It felt like stepping into a local neighborhood where everyone was ____23____ to lend a hand. Isn’t it refreshing to know you can ____24____ with people who share similar values about sustainability? I still remember the first exchange: the vases gathering ____25____ in my cupboard.

In this country, most people believe that the animals around us are their lost loved ones, so animals are given free rein (缰绳) to do whatever they want. I moved to Bhutan from another teaching job in Tanzania. A few dogs spent every day hanging out at my school. One of them was a little guy with a head too big for his body, really winning my heart. He was a cute guy with an open face and a constantly dangling tongue. His fur was patchy in spots, but he seemed otherwise healthy. As I settled into life in Bhutan, I had trouble making friends. Sure, I was close with all the other teachers, but most of them were older and had families. Because of the language barrier and my own shyness, it was hard to go out and meet new people. Our town in Bhutan was very small, just two main roads filled with mostly restaurants, karaoke bars and snooker (斯诺克) halls. Usually, I went to town for shopping, but because of my limited language skills, I didn’t often go to those “hang-out” kinds of places. Therefore, I spent most of my time working. I really focused on my lessons, making them as perfect as possible. Every day, the little dog wandered into my office and sat quietly in the corner. Most of the other teachers would shoo (轰走) him out of the office with a loud “Hi-ya!”, and the little guy would bow his oversized head and run away. I didn’t shoo him away, though. Whenever he wandered into my room, I’d just ignore him. He’d walk between the desks for a while before settling under a teacher’s desk at the back of the room. He wouldn’t sleep or do anything else, just watch me. 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。 Over time, the dog started following me, becoming a regular part of my day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the dog led me to the town one day, my lonely days here began to end. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Over time, the dog started following me, becoming a regular part of my day. I’d see him on my walk to school, who was trying to keep pace with me. He’d attend at least one of my classes. At lunch, as he wasn’t allowed inside the school canteen, he’d patiently wait outside until I was done. I’d give him some food, and then he’d disappear somewhere. When I stayed late in the office alone for lesson plans for the next day, the dog friend would run in. Somehow, he knew that I needed someone to talk to. When I finished my work, we would walk on the way home. When the dog led me to the town one day, my lonely days here began to end. One night, I stayed alone in the office preparing for my lesson plans as usual. When I was finishing my work, the dog ran in. I followed him out of the office and we walked down the path back to my home. Strangely, instead of following me to my home, the dog led me straight into town. Upon arrival, he pulled me to the snooker hall, which was packed with locals, all chatting, laughing and having a good time. And that was where I met my first group of friends. My friend group had grown with more visits to town with the dog. I was grateful to the little dog who pushed me forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一只小狗为线索展开，讲述了作者从坦桑尼亚来到不丹从事教学工作，在不丹因语言障碍和自身羞涩难以结交新朋友，大部分时间都专注于工作。然而，一只头部相对于身体显得过大、模样可爱的小狗却每天来到作者的办公室，安静地陪伴在旁，与其他被老师轰走的待遇不同，作者并未驱赶它，小狗也总是默默注视着作者，二者间形成了独特的默契与陪伴。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着时间的推移，这只小狗开始跟着我，渐渐成了我日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。”可知，第一段可描写小狗如何融入作者的日常，在上学、上课、午餐、加班等不同场景中与作者相伴的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，当这只狗把我领到镇上时，我在这里孤独的日子开始结束了。”可知，第二段可描写小狗带领作者到镇上，特别是斯诺克厅，让作者在这里结识朋友，从而改变孤独状态的经过。 2.续写线索：作者与小狗日常相伴——小狗跟随作者上学、听作者上课、在外面等作者吃午餐、陪加班的作者——小狗带领作者去镇上——小狗拉着作者进入斯诺克厅——作者在斯诺克厅结识朋友——作者摆脱孤独 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①允许：allow/permit ②消失：disappear/fade away ③玩得开心：have a good time/enjoy oneself ④为……做准备：prepare for/get ready for 情绪类 ①独自：alone/by oneself ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】I’d see him on my walk to school, who was trying to keep pace with me. （运用了关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】 And that was where I met my first group of friends.（运用了连接副词where引导表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 包头市第九十七中学2025-2026学年度第一学期 高三年级英语8月月考试题 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。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．When does the rainy season start?

And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 1. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 2. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 3. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. B There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit someone you’ve just met with your fist! But I’m in one of those right now. I’m in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the qualifications she’d need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register. Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap. In the rehearsal room, I can’t resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real fight.Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs,“Oh, I’d be awful,” she says.“I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she's just being rather humble. 4. Why does Kate ask the author to hit her? A. To show actors stage fighting skills. B. To teach actors to defend themselves. C. To help actors rehearse an action scene. D. To attract actors' interest in martial arts. 5. What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director? A. She could not find a female teacher. B. She had no prior experience in drama. C. She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D. She had trouble obtaining a certificate. 6. What do the underlined words“smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A difficult technique. B. A dangerous situation. C. A well-planned lesson. D. A misleading performance. 7. What does the author imply about Kate’s real fighting ability? A. She relies a lot on tricks. B. She may lack confidence in herself. C. She might be better than she admits. D. She excels more at performing than fighting. C Not too long ago, on a cold winter night, there was a teenager who wanted more screen time and a parent who said no. The teenager was advocating for her right to scroll (刷屏) for an extra 30 minutes. The parent argued that none of her friends’ parents let them have screens after 9 o’clock. “I thought, in this family, we don’t compare ourselves with other people, Dad?” the teenager replied. The parent — who was me, by the way — just got served. Since they were young, I have told my kids not to compare themselves with other people. I have argued countless times that comparisons are the “thief of joy”. Although my daughter didn’t win, she did help expose one of the worst pieces of advice I have ever given. In my defence, I did what we’ve all done before, which is to repeat received wisdom without exploring the fine differences. But now is the time to set the record straight, which starts with questioning the idea that all social comparison is unhealthy. Social comparisons do, of course, often get us into emotional trouble. But they can be harnessed (利用) for our betterment if we understand how they work. The social comparisons we make — ones that lead us to feel good or bad about ourselves — are vital to our ability to thrive (成长). Science provides a guide we can use to harness the way we perform these comparisons to reduce their negative emotional impacts. Comparing yourself with someone who is outperforming you could result in feelings of envy if you focus on the things they have and you don’t, or it can be energizing and inspiring if you use these comparisons as a source of motivation, for example, “If they can achieve that, so can I.” Comparing yourself with someone who is doing worse than you could result in fear and worry if you think about how you could fall into similar circumstances, or it can draw out feelings of gratitude and appreciation if you use that comparison to broaden your views—for example, “Wow, things could be much worse; I’m doing great.” What I wish I taught my daughter earlier are these nuances. How we feel about ourselves rests not just on whom we compare ourselves with but also on how we think about that comparison. That’s something we all have control over. 8. How did the author feel about his daughter’s argument? A. Excited. B. Inspired. C. Energized. D. Relieved. 9. According to the passage, which best explains why social comparisons can be beneficial? A. They help people avoid emotional trouble completely. B. They provide motivation when viewed from a positive angle. C. They allow people to control others’ opinions effectively. D. They eliminate the fear of falling behind others permanently. 10. Which of the following social comparison examples would the author most likely agree with? A. A student who stops checking classmates’ test scores to avoid feeling bad. B. An employee who feels discouraged after seeing a colleague’s promotion. C. A fitness enthusiast who uses a professional athlete’s training routine as inspiration to improve their own workouts. D. A person who frequently compares their lifestyle with influencers’ selected posts on social media. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Comparing Ourselves with Others Can Become a Healthy Habit B. Comparing Ourselves with Others Can Strengthen Family Ties C. Social Comparisons Can Get Us into Emotional Trouble D. Social Comparisons Can Be Controlled by Science D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 第二节 七选五 (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。 What is Creative Chaos?

In this country, most people believe that the animals around us are their lost loved ones, so animals are given free rein (缰绳) to do whatever they want. I moved to Bhutan from another teaching job in Tanzania. A few dogs spent every day hanging out at my school. One of them was a little guy with a head too big for his body, really winning my heart. He was a cute guy with an open face and a constantly dangling tongue. His fur was patchy in spots, but he seemed otherwise healthy. As I settled into life in Bhutan, I had trouble making friends. Sure, I was close with all the other teachers, but most of them were older and had families. Because of the language barrier and my own shyness, it was hard to go out and meet new people. Our town in Bhutan was very small, just two main roads filled with mostly restaurants, karaoke bars and snooker (斯诺克) halls. Usually, I went to town for shopping, but because of my limited language skills, I didn’t often go to those “hang-out” kinds of places. Therefore, I spent most of my time working. I really focused on my lessons, making them as perfect as possible. Every day, the little dog wandered into my office and sat quietly in the corner. Most of the other teachers would shoo (轰走) him out of the office with a loud “Hi-ya!”, and the little guy would bow his oversized head and run away. I didn’t shoo him away, though. Whenever he wandered into my room, I’d just ignore him. He’d walk between the desks for a while before settling under a teacher’s desk at the back of the room. He wouldn’t sleep or do anything else, just watch me. 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。 Over time, the dog started following me, becoming a regular part of my day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the dog led me to the town one day, my lonely days here began to end. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
