A dozen girls and boys, wearing backpacks, jump down the muddy river bank and into the boat that provides their daily transport. Their highway is the Rio Wichimi, a river lined with towering, parrot-filled trees. It winds through the Ecuadorian Amazon. And the fuel that powers their boat is the fierce (猛烈的) tropical sun. Since 2016, the native Achuar people have travelled in solar-powered boats along the Amazonian waters of eastern Ecuador for trading, city tasks, monitoring illegal loggers and studying at school. The project, set up by the nonprofit Kara Solar, shows sustainable infrastructure (基础设施) development in the rapidly disappearing Amazon rainforest. Over the years, Ecuador has lost about 2.3 million acres of tree cover, or 5% of its total, according to Global Forest Watch. Road construction plays a significant role in that deforestation, both directly and indirectly: A study of 332 native lands in the Amazon found for every mile of road built, about 14 acres of forest are lost. To minimize that destruction, Kara Solar invests in what it describes as the “ancestral highways” of the rainforest: rivers. By pairing nature’s pre-built infrastructure with solar energy, it aims to improve community livelihoods with minimal environmental impact. Getting residents’ buy-in has been crucial for Kara Solar. The project began with a decade of discussions with Achuar communities before the first solar boat set sail and has been gaining favour since. “Every single day I was driving the boat, everyone was asking me for help,” says Luciano, a 27-year-old Achuar boat operator trained by Kara Solar. “They said, ‘I need to go to my farm. I need to visit my parents. I need to go for medical treatment.’” Currently, solar boats are slower than gas-powered ones, leading many to prefer the latter for urgent matters. However, Kara Solar expects that reliability will improve with further technological advances. 4. Why is the students’ daily school run special? A. It allows for trading with people on the way. B. It features eco-friendly boats as transportation. C. It involves travelling through the expanding rainforests. D. It requires students to get up early in the morning. 5. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The negative impact of road building on Ecuador. B. The history of Ecuador’s infrastructure development. C. The importance of protecting the eco-system in Ecuador. D. The related studies on monitoring Ecuador’s tree cover loss. 6. Why does the author mention Luciano’s words? A. To show the commitment of Kara Solar to the project. B. To demonstrate the daily routine of a trained operator. C. To suggest the inconvenience of the local transportation. D. To highlight people’s positive response to the solar boats. 7. What is a challenge faced by Kara Solar currently? A. The less than ideal speed of solar boats. B. Resistance from some community members. C. The higher cost of solar boats than gas-powered ones. D. Insufficient funding for further technological advances. C A study, led by University of Essex and University of Chicago, found that employees in remote settings generate fewer and lower-quality innovative ideas compared to those working full-time in the office. The findings also apply to those in hybrid settings where employees get the best of both worlds, spending some days in the office and some at home. While remote and hybrid working arrangements can enhance employees’ work-life balance, many business leaders have voiced concerns over innovation suffering with these new work modes. Interestingly, the CEO of Zoom, the leading online communication application, recently required employees work more from the office, specifically mentioning a decline in innovation. The new research finds their concerns seem to stand on solid ground. “Innovation in the workplace can occur through random, informal ‘watercooler’ conversations between employees, such as when they are chatting over coffee time,” explained lead researcher Dr. Christoph Siemroth. “However, these ‘productive accidents’ are unlikely to occur when employees work from home.” The study followed over 48,000 employees from an Indian IT company, which has taken significant steps such as offering financial rewards to promote a culture where all employees see innovation as a key part of their job. The employees write up ideas about process improvements, cost-saving measures, or new products, which are then evaluated by the company. While the quantity of ideas didn’t change during the working from home period compared to working in the office, the quality of ideas suffered. During the later hybrid period, the quantity of submitted ideas fell and innovation suffered, particularly in teams which did not schedule when they worked at the office or from home. The findings imply that companies should take steps to regulate when employees are in the office. Innovation does not work well if half the team is in on Mondays while the other half is in on Wednesdays. Instead, set days when the whole team are expected in the office. While this limits the flexibility of hybrid work, research suggests that innovation benefits as a result. 8. What do the underlined words “stand on solid ground” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Need solid proof. B. Be hard to believe. C. Be easy to understand. D. Have good reasons. 9. What contributes to workplace innovation according to Dr. Christoph Siemroth? A. Favorable and relaxing company culture. B. Unplanned interaction among employees. C. Access to workplace facilities and resources. D. Professional training in promoting productivity. 10. What can we learn about workplace innovation from the study? A. Remote workers generated ideas of high quality. B. Financial rewards could greatly boost innovation. C. The hybrid work mode delivered unsatisfying results. D. Working modes had no impact on the number of ideas. 11. What is suggested for companies to improve innovation in the last paragraph? A. Allow more flexibility in work schedules. B. Encourage team work over individual work. C. Require full-time office work for all employees. D. Arrange time for collective presence of employees. D How did a tiny ant manage to take a lion’s dinner? This isn’t the start of an Aesop’s fable; rather, it’s the outcome of a study published on January 25 in Science, showing how a small disturbance in one helpful relationship on the African grasslands can spread through the ecosystem, ultimately reaching even the lion’s den (穴). Over the past 15 years, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his team at the University of Wyoming, working with the Ol Pejeta Wildlife Reserve in Kenya, have studied how acacia ants protect whistling thorn trees from being eaten. When elephants attempt to feed on these trees, the ants rush into the elephants’ nostrils (鼻腔), biting and stinging, which forces them to back away, Goheen explains. Between 2002 and 2005, however, the reserve was invaded by the big-headed ant, an aggressive non-native species that likely arrived in the area through imported produce brought to nearby homes or tourist camps. These ants quickly overpowered and pushed out the local acacia ants. Without these native defenders, elephants and other large plant-eating animals damaged the thorn trees five to seven times more frequently than before. In a parallel study, Goheen’s team examined the hunting behaviour of lions in the reserve. They tracked six lionesses, observing their activity and kill rates, and measured visibility around recent kills. They found that areas populated by big-headed ants had 2.67 times greater visibility than those without — meaning lions could see their prey (猎物) farther away, but so could the prey see the lions. As visibility increased, the lions’ chances of successfully catching zebras fell from 62% to just 22%. Yet the lions did not starve; instead, they adapted their diet, turning to buffalo as a primary prey, which rose from 0% to 42% of their kills. “Buffalo are large and aggressive,” Goheen notes, “so this is a high-risk choice of prey.” Goheen’s study provides a valuable insight into how ecologists should carefully observe helpful pairs like the acacia ants and thorn trees, where even a small change in one relationship can spread widely, drastically impacting the food web and altering which animals eat which. 12. What did Goheen’s team study for 15 years? A. Arrival of big-headed ants in Kenya. B. Defense of thorn trees by acacia ants. C. Effect of imported produce on habitats. D. Movement of elephants across grasslands. 13. Why did elephants harm thorn trees more often? A. Local ants were replaced. B. Thorn trees spread widely. C. Trees became more visible. D. Other plant-eaters appeared. 14. What impact did increased visibility have on lions? A. It made hunting buffalo easier. B. It helped them avoid risky prey. C. It reduced their zebra catch rates. D. It improved their hiding from prey. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Ant vs. the Elephant: In Unity There Is Strength B. African Grasslands: A Land of Mysterious Interactions C. How an Invasive Ant Changed a Lion’s Dinner Menu? D. How Big-headed Ants Climbed to the Top of the Food Chain? 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。 How to Study Effectively Studying efficiently is key to achieving your academic goals.

She loved her role as a mother, but she often felt consumed by it, like her life would never return to normal. One day, when her baby was about three months old, she decided that her whole family — her husband, her two young boys and her new baby boy — should get out of the house and go to a restaurant. They tumbled out of the car, ready with a diaper (尿布) bag, books for the kids to read, a seat for the baby and bags of snacks. As soon as they stepped onto the curb, her baby was ready to nurse again, and Berne knew she had to get inside. “I was already feeling pretty shaky,” she recalled. “So we all pile into the restaurant. We’re very messy; we’re very loud.” Her baby thrashed (剧烈扭动) around as she tried to nurse him under a blanket, and she worried he was about to cry. Berne began to feel hopeless. “I was feeling a little teary-eyed because, although we were doing it, this was really hard.” A short time later, her unsung hero appeared: an older woman, who reminded Berne of her own mum. This woman came up and stood there and looked at them. And Berne was sort of preparing that she was gonna say how cute the baby was. Instead, the woman took them all in. She said admiringly, “What a beautiful family.” Then she looked at Berne’s two young boys, ages 6 and 3, sitting quietly on Berne’s side of the table. And she said, “It’s not easy to sit at a table for a long time.” The woman saw her older children in a way few people seemed to, now that they were no longer in the infant (婴儿) stage. “Nobody ever noticed them anymore,” Berne recalled. 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。 Then the woman turned to Berne. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nearly 10 years later, Berne is still moved by the woman’s thoughtfulness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天水一中2026～2027学年度第一学期高三第二次月考 英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号;回答非选择题时，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 4．本卷主要命题范围：北师大版必修第一册~选择性必修第一册。 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.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了万灵社区中心举办的平安夜系列庆祝活动，介绍了晨间聚会、多场晚间烛光活动、幼儿托管服务及线上参与方式等相关内容。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Morning Gathering部分中的“After the gathering, a traditional community sharing event is open to everyone, regardless of their beliefs or background.(聚会结束后，一场传统的社区分享活动向所有人开放，无论人们的信仰或背景如何。)”可知，上午10:30的活动结束后，访客可以参加社区分享活动。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Evening Candlelight Events部分中6:00 p.m.对应的Traditional Candlelight Service中的“An 80-year-old tradition; classic Christmas songs, readings, and performances by choirs and the pipe organ(一项拥有80年历史的传统；包含经典圣诞歌曲、诵读，以及合唱团和管风琴的演出)”可知，这场下午6点的活动特别之处在于它有着80年的历史传统。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Online Participation部分中的“If you cannot attend in person, you can watch all Christmas Eve events live on the centre’s website, Facebook and YouTube.(如果你无法亲自到场，可以在该中心官网、Facebook以及YouTube上观看所有平安夜活动的直播。)”可知，人们可以通过三个官方平台线上观看活动。 B Shortly after sunrise, the students of Barrio San Luis begin their school run. A dozen girls and boys, wearing backpacks, jump down the muddy river bank and into the boat that provides their daily transport. Their highway is the Rio Wichimi, a river lined with towering, parrot-filled trees. It winds through the Ecuadorian Amazon. And the fuel that powers their boat is the fierce (猛烈的) tropical sun. Since 2016, the native Achuar people have travelled in solar-powered boats along the Amazonian waters of eastern Ecuador for trading, city tasks, monitoring illegal loggers and studying at school. The project, set up by the nonprofit Kara Solar, shows sustainable infrastructure (基础设施) development in the rapidly disappearing Amazon rainforest. Over the years, Ecuador has lost about 2.3 million acres of tree cover, or 5% of its total, according to Global Forest Watch. Road construction plays a significant role in that deforestation, both directly and indirectly: A study of 332 native lands in the Amazon found for every mile of road built, about 14 acres of forest are lost. To minimize that destruction, Kara Solar invests in what it describes as the “ancestral highways” of the rainforest: rivers. By pairing nature’s pre-built infrastructure with solar energy, it aims to improve community livelihoods with minimal environmental impact. Getting residents’ buy-in has been crucial for Kara Solar. The project began with a decade of discussions with Achuar communities before the first solar boat set sail and has been gaining favour since. “Every single day I was driving the boat, everyone was asking me for help,” says Luciano, a 27-year-old Achuar boat operator trained by Kara Solar. “They said, ‘I need to go to my farm. I need to visit my parents. I need to go for medical treatment.’” Currently, solar boats are slower than gas-powered ones, leading many to prefer the latter for urgent matters. However, Kara Solar expects that reliability will improve with further technological advances. 4. Why is the students’ daily school run special? A. It allows for trading with people on the way. B. It features eco-friendly boats as transportation. C. It involves travelling through the expanding rainforests. D. It requires students to get up early in the morning. 5. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The negative impact of road building on Ecuador. B. The history of Ecuador’s infrastructure development. C. The importance of protecting the eco-system in Ecuador. D. The related studies on monitoring Ecuador’s tree cover loss. 6. Why does the author mention Luciano’s words? A. To show the commitment of Kara Solar to the project. B. To demonstrate the daily routine of a trained operator. C. To suggest the inconvenience of the local transportation. D. To highlight people’s positive response to the solar boats. 7. What is a challenge faced by Kara Solar currently? A. The less than ideal speed of solar boats. B. Resistance from some community members. C. The higher cost of solar boats than gas-powered ones. D. Insufficient funding for further technological advances. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区土著居民使用太阳能船出行上学，该项目减少修路毁林，但太阳能船速度较慢，当地人对这种环保船只需求很高。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A dozen girls and boys, wearing backpacks, jump down the muddy river bank and into the boat that provides their daily transport.(十几个背着书包的男孩女孩，沿着泥泞河岸跳上船，这船是他们日常的交通工具)”以及第二段“And the fuel that powers their boat is the fierce (猛烈的) tropical sun.(驱动船只的燃料是强烈的热带阳光)”、第三段“Since 2016, the native Achuar people have travelled in solar-powered boats along the Amazonian waters of eastern Ecuador for trading, city tasks, monitoring illegal loggers and studying at school.(自2016年起，土著阿丘尔人乘坐太阳能船在厄瓜多尔东部亚马逊水域出行，用于贸易、进城办事、监视非法伐木者以及上学)”可知，学生上学的特别之处在于使用环保太阳能船作为交通工具。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Over the years, Ecuador has lost about 2.3 million acres of tree cover, or 5% of its total, according to Global Forest Watch. Road construction plays a significant role in that deforestation, both directly and indirectly: A study of 332 native lands in the Amazon found for every mile of road built, about 14 acres of forest are lost.(全球森林观察组织数据显示，多年来厄瓜多尔失去约230万英亩植被，占总量5%。修路直接或间接造成森林砍伐：一项亚马逊332片土著土地研究发现，每修建一英里道路，约14英亩森林消失)”可知，本段主要讲述修路给厄瓜多尔带来的负面影响。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“The project began with a decade of discussions with Achuar communities before the first solar boat set sail and has been gaining favour since.(项目在首艘太阳能船启航前，与阿丘尔社群进行了十年磋商，自此越来越受欢迎)”和第八段““Every single day I was driving the boat, everyone was asking me for help,” says Luciano, a 27-year-old Achuar boat operator trained by Kara Solar. “They said, ‘I need to go to my farm. I need to visit my parents. I need to go for medical treatment.’”(27岁的阿丘尔族船员卢西亚诺受过卡拉太阳能组织培训，他说：“我每天开船的时候，所有人都来找我帮忙。他们会说：‘我要去我的农场。我要去看望父母。我要去看病。’”)”可知，引用Luciano的话是为了凸显当地人对太阳能船的积极认可与需求。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Currently, solar boats are slower than gas-powered ones, leading many to prefer the latter for urgent matters.(目前太阳能船速度比燃油船慢，因此很多人处理急事时更喜欢燃油船)”可知，Kara Solar当前面临的难题是太阳能船速度不够理想。 C A study, led by University of Essex and University of Chicago, found that employees in remote settings generate fewer and lower-quality innovative ideas compared to those working full-time in the office. The findings also apply to those in hybrid settings where employees get the best of both worlds, spending some days in the office and some at home. While remote and hybrid working arrangements can enhance employees’ work-life balance, many business leaders have voiced concerns over innovation suffering with these new work modes. Interestingly, the CEO of Zoom, the leading online communication application, recently required employees work more from the office, specifically mentioning a decline in innovation. The new research finds their concerns seem to stand on solid ground. “Innovation in the workplace can occur through random, informal ‘watercooler’ conversations between employees, such as when they are chatting over coffee time,” explained lead researcher Dr. Christoph Siemroth. “However, these ‘productive accidents’ are unlikely to occur when employees work from home.” The study followed over 48,000 employees from an Indian IT company, which has taken significant steps such as offering financial rewards to promote a culture where all employees see innovation as a key part of their job. The employees write up ideas about process improvements, cost-saving measures, or new products, which are then evaluated by the company. While the quantity of ideas didn’t change during the working from home period compared to working in the office, the quality of ideas suffered. During the later hybrid period, the quantity of submitted ideas fell and innovation suffered, particularly in teams which did not schedule when they worked at the office or from home. The findings imply that companies should take steps to regulate when employees are in the office. Innovation does not work well if half the team is in on Mondays while the other half is in on Wednesdays. Instead, set days when the whole team are expected in the office. While this limits the flexibility of hybrid work, research suggests that innovation benefits as a result. 8. What do the underlined words “stand on solid ground” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Need solid proof. B. Be hard to believe. C. Be easy to understand. D. Have good reasons. 9. What contributes to workplace innovation according to Dr. Christoph Siemroth? A. Favorable and relaxing company culture. B. Unplanned interaction among employees. C. Access to workplace facilities and resources. D. Professional training in promoting productivity. 10. What can we learn about workplace innovation from the study? A. Remote workers generated ideas of high quality. B. Financial rewards could greatly boost innovation. C. The hybrid work mode delivered unsatisfying results. D. Working modes had no impact on the number of ideas. 11. What is suggested for companies to improve innovation in the last paragraph? A. Allow more flexibility in work schedules. B. Encourage team work over individual work. C. Require full-time office work for all employees. D. Arrange time for collective presence of employees. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于远程和混合工作模式对员工创新影响的研究发现。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“While remote and hybrid working arrangements can enhance employees’ work-life balance, many business leaders have voiced concerns over innovation suffering with these new work modes. Interestingly, the CEO of Zoom, the leading online communication application, recently required employees work more from the office, specifically mentioning a decline in innovation. The new research finds their concerns seem to (虽然远程和混合工作安排可以改善员工的工作与生活平衡，但许多商业领袖对这些新工作模式对创新的影响表示担忧。有趣的是，领先的在线通信应用Zoom的首席执行官最近要求员工更多地在办公室工作，特别提到了创新的下降。新的研究发现，他们的担忧似乎是)”和第三段“ “Innovation in the workplace can occur through random, informal ‘watercooler’ conversations between employees, such as when they are chatting over coffee time,” explained lead researcher Dr. Christoph Siemroth. “However, these ‘productive accidents’ are unlikely to occur when employees work from home.” (首席研究员克里斯托弗·西姆罗斯博士解释说：“工作场所的创新可以通过员工之间随意、非正式的‘茶水间’对话来实现，比如他们在喝咖啡的时候聊天。”“然而，当员工在家工作时，这些‘生产事故’不太可能发生。”)”可知，新的研究表明他们的担忧是有充分理由的，stand on solid ground意为“有充分的理由”。A. Need solid proof需要确凿的证据；B. Be hard to believe令人难以置信；C. Be easy to understand易于理解；D. Have good reasons有充分的理由。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中““Innovation in the workplace can occur through random, informal ‘watercooler’ conversations between employees, such as when they are chatting over coffee time,” explained lead researcher Dr. Christoph Siemroth. (首席研究员克里斯托弗·西姆罗斯博士解释说：“工作场所的创新可以通过员工之间随意、非正式的‘茶水间’对话来实现，比如他们在喝咖啡的时候聊天。”)”可知，工作场所的创新可以通过员工之间随机的、非正式的“饮水机旁”的对话产生。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“While the quantity of ideas didn’t change during the working from home period compared to working in the office, the quality of ideas suffered. During the later hybrid period, the quantity of submitted ideas fell and innovation suffered, particularly in teams which did not schedule when they worked at the office or from home. (在与在办公室工作相比，在家工作期间创意的数量没有变化，但创意的质量却受到了影响。在后来的混合工作模式期间，提交的想法数量减少了，尤其是在那些没有安排好在办公室或在家工作时间的团队中，创新受到了更大的影响。)”可知，在后来的混合工作模式期间，混合工作模式的效果并不令人满意。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“The findings imply that companies should take steps to regulate when employees are in the office. (研究结果表明，公司应该采取措施规范员工在办公室的时间。)”可知，最后一段对企业改进创新提出的建议是安排员工集体出席的时间。故选D。 D How did a tiny ant manage to take a lion’s dinner? This isn’t the start of an Aesop’s fable; rather, it’s the outcome of a study published on January 25 in Science, showing how a small disturbance in one helpful relationship on the African grasslands can spread through the ecosystem, ultimately reaching even the lion’s den (穴). Over the past 15 years, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his team at the University of Wyoming, working with the Ol Pejeta Wildlife Reserve in Kenya, have studied how acacia ants protect whistling thorn trees from being eaten. When elephants attempt to feed on these trees, the ants rush into the elephants’ nostrils (鼻腔), biting and stinging, which forces them to back away, Goheen explains. Between 2002 and 2005, however, the reserve was invaded by the big-headed ant, an aggressive non-native species that likely arrived in the area through imported produce brought to nearby homes or tourist camps. These ants quickly overpowered and pushed out the local acacia ants. Without these native defenders, elephants and other large plant-eating animals damaged the thorn trees five to seven times more frequently than before. In a parallel study, Goheen’s team examined the hunting behaviour of lions in the reserve. They tracked six lionesses, observing their activity and kill rates, and measured visibility around recent kills. They found that areas populated by big-headed ants had 2.67 times greater visibility than those without — meaning lions could see their prey (猎物) farther away, but so could the prey see the lions. As visibility increased, the lions’ chances of successfully catching zebras fell from 62% to just 22%. Yet the lions did not starve; instead, they adapted their diet, turning to buffalo as a primary prey, which rose from 0% to 42% of their kills. “Buffalo are large and aggressive,” Goheen notes, “so this is a high-risk choice of prey.” Goheen’s study provides a valuable insight into how ecologists should carefully observe helpful pairs like the acacia ants and thorn trees, where even a small change in one relationship can spread widely, drastically impacting the food web and altering which animals eat which. 12. What did Goheen’s team study for 15 years? A. Arrival of big-headed ants in Kenya. B. Defense of thorn trees by acacia ants. C. Effect of imported produce on habitats. D. Movement of elephants across grasslands. 13. Why did elephants harm thorn trees more often? A. Local ants were replaced. B. Thorn trees spread widely. C. Trees became more visible. D. Other plant-eaters appeared. 14. What impact did increased visibility have on lions? A. It made hunting buffalo easier. B. It helped them avoid risky prey. C. It reduced their zebra catch rates. D. It improved their hiding from prey. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Ant vs. the Elephant: In Unity There Is Strength B. African Grasslands: A Land of Mysterious Interactions C. How an Invasive Ant Changed a Lion’s Dinner Menu? D. How Big-headed Ants Climbed to the Top of the Food Chain? 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了研究发现入侵大头蚁赶走本土金合欢蚁，刺树遭大象破坏，草原能见度上升，狮子捕斑马成功率下降，转而捕食野牛，体现微小物种变化会影响食物链。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Over the past 15 years, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his team at the University of Wyoming, working with the Ol Pejeta Wildlife Reserve in Kenya, have studied how acacia ants protect whistling thorn trees from being eaten.(在过去15年里，怀俄明大学野生动物生态学家杰克·戈欣及其团队与肯尼亚奥尔佩杰塔野生动物保护区合作，研究金合欢蚁如何保护哨刺树不被吃掉)”可知，团队15年研究的是金合欢蚁对刺树的保护作用。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These ants quickly overpowered and pushed out the local acacia ants. Without these native defenders, elephants and other large plant-eating animals damaged the thorn trees five to seven times more frequently than before.(这种大头蚁迅速压制并赶走了本地金合欢蚁。没有了这些本土守护者，大象和其他大型植食动物破坏刺树的频率是以前的5到7倍)”可知，大象更多破坏刺树是因为本地金合欢蚁被外来大头蚁取代。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“As visibility increased, the lions’ chances of successfully catching zebras fell from 62% to just 22%.(随着能见度提高，狮子成功捕获斑马的概率从62%下降到仅22%)”可知，能见度提升降低了狮子捕获斑马的成功率。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“How did a tiny ant manage to take a lion’s dinner? This isn’t the start of an Aesop’s fable; rather, it’s the outcome of a study published on January 25 in Science, showing how a small disturbance in one helpful relationship on the African grasslands can spread through the ecosystem, ultimately reaching even the lion’s den (穴).(一只小小的蚂蚁如何影响狮子的晚餐？这不是伊索寓言的开篇，而是1月25日发表在《科学》杂志上一项研究的结果，该研究表明非洲草原上一种互利关系的微小扰动会传遍整个生态系统，最终甚至影响狮穴)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现入侵大头蚁赶走本土金合欢蚁，刺树遭大象破坏，草原能见度上升，狮子捕斑马成功率下降，转而捕食野牛，体现微小物种变化会影响食物链。故C选项“一种入侵性蚂蚁如何改变了狮子的晚餐菜单？”最符合文章标题。 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。 How to Study Effectively Studying efficiently is key to achieving your academic goals.

She loved her role as a mother, but she often felt consumed by it, like her life would never return to normal. One day, when her baby was about three months old, she decided that her whole family — her husband, her two young boys and her new baby boy — should get out of the house and go to a restaurant. They tumbled out of the car, ready with a diaper (尿布) bag, books for the kids to read, a seat for the baby and bags of snacks. As soon as they stepped onto the curb, her baby was ready to nurse again, and Berne knew she had to get inside. “I was already feeling pretty shaky,” she recalled. “So we all pile into the restaurant. We’re very messy; we’re very loud.” Her baby thrashed (剧烈扭动) around as she tried to nurse him under a blanket, and she worried he was about to cry. Berne began to feel hopeless. “I was feeling a little teary-eyed because, although we were doing it, this was really hard.” A short time later, her unsung hero appeared: an older woman, who reminded Berne of her own mum. This woman came up and stood there and looked at them. And Berne was sort of preparing that she was gonna say how cute the baby was. Instead, the woman took them all in. She said admiringly, “What a beautiful family.” Then she looked at Berne’s two young boys, ages 6 and 3, sitting quietly on Berne’s side of the table. And she said, “It’s not easy to sit at a table for a long time.” The woman saw her older children in a way few people seemed to, now that they were no longer in the infant (婴儿) stage. “Nobody ever noticed them anymore,” Berne recalled. 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。 Then the woman turned to Berne. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nearly 10 years later, Berne is still moved by the woman’s thoughtfulness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then the woman turned to Berne. And she said, “Look at you, Mum. You’re doing such a good job. It must be very challenging to raise the three children. You are so great.” Berne felt very grateful to her warm words, tears in her eyes. She brightened up at her words of encouragement. The woman brought out a box of chocolates from her bag and gave them to the children, who were excited at the sweets. Berne was too moved to say anything to express her gratitude. Then the woman gently patted on Berne’s shoulder, gave them one last smile, and left on the street. Nearly 10 years later, Berne is still moved by the woman’s thoughtfulness. And she has often recalled it with friends and family. If she could speak to the woman now, this is what she would say, “Thank you for seeing all of us. And thank you for seeing me. Me, someone who wasn’t often seen during these early days, and someone who was sometimes feeling pretty invisible. And I have never forgotten it.” Now her children have grown up, and her life has become better than before. When Berne meets other women struggling to get out with kids, she often says some warm words to them, just like what the older woman talked to her. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Emma Carlson Berne作为一位有三个孩子的母亲，在带孩子外出就餐时遇到了挑战。在餐厅里，她努力照顾婴儿，同时担心其他孩子的行为，感到无助和沮丧。然而，一位年长女士的出现给予了她意外的鼓励和肯定。这位女士不仅称赞了她的家庭美丽，还特别注意到了她的大孩子们，这让Berne感到温暖和感激。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然后，那位女士转向Berne。”可知，第一段可描写那位女士对Berne的赞美以及Berne的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“近10年过去了，Berne仍然被那位女士的体贴所感动。”可知，第二段可描写Berne多年后仍然心存感激以及那位女士的话对Berne产生的影响。 2.续写线索：赞美——感激——回忆——影响——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿出：bring out/take out ②表达：express/convey ③回忆：recall/recollect ④轻拍：pat/tap 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1]The woman brought out a box of chocolates from her bag and gave them to the children, who were excited at the sweets.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]When Berne meets other women struggling to get out with kids, she often says some warm words to them, just like what the older woman talked to her.（运用了when引导时间状语从句和what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
