He would ask a thoughtful question or make a sharp comment. As a result, I assumed that he knew something about everything. How could this be? He was certainly an educated man. He was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a neighborhood that was, at the time, simply poor. When a friend applied to a New York high school, he followed suit and was admitted. He went on to earn an undergraduate degree and then, after serving in World War II, earned a Ph.D. in chemistry. It’s an impressive path, but his education had been focused on the sciences; how was it that he knew so much about other things-Stickley furniture and the Battle of Waterloo, for example? I recently put the question to him. He explained that, as a teenager, he had made a promise to himself to ask a question in any gathering he attended. The exercise had sharpened his ability to listen, speak, and engage with whatever was happening. But his initial motivation, as my father readily admits, was simply to participate in the conversation. He came from a poor background and, though very intelligent, lacked the polish of the more privileged people with whom he came into contact. Asking a question was his way of finding his voice, often in settings where he felt uneasy, and also a way of fitting in. In speaking up, he received acknowledgement, which led to greater confidence, which led to greater participation, and in the end, to greater knowledge. Ever since my father’s method caught my attention, I have urged my shyer students to follow his example. I tell them to try to speak at least once during a class, if only to ask a question. Doing so helps them acquire a profile in class and involve themselves more deeply. In time, they will contribute to the conversation. And eventually, they may be able to amaze their children with their wide-ranging knowledge. 4. Why does the author mention her father’s educational path? A. To highlight his academic achievements. B. To explain why he was interested in science. C. To contrast his science education with his broad knowledge. D. To suggest how science contributed to his view on social issues. 5. What’s the father’s initial purpose of asking questions at gatherings? A. To make himself heard. B. To follow his friend’s example. C. To improve his communicative skills. D. To impress others with his intelligence. 6. What does the author expect her students to get from the method? A. A wider range of interests. B. Deeper engagement in learning. C. Greater confidence in public speaking. D. More recognition from their classmates. 7. What message does the author convey through the text? A. One simple habit fuels lasting growth. B. Success relies on seizing every chance. C. A good teacher learns from students as well. D. Childhood experiences decide future careers. C Want to lose fat? There’s one method scientifically proven to work: eating a little less food than your body needs to fuel itself each day. Do that, and your body starts using its energy reserves — its stored fat — to make up the deficit. It sounds straightforward. You dutifully keep track of the calories in every meal to make sure your daily intake stays less than your fixed limit, but the number on your weight scale never changes at all. It’s frustrating and disheartening. But there’s good news: you’re not to blame. Recent scientific findings suggest it’s almost impossible to count calories with any degree of accuracy, which explains why trying to lose weight by calorie counting is so hard. It’s not bad maths that trips most of us up, though. Generally, unless you diligently log every ingredient before you eat, humans just aren’t very good at recalling exactly what was on their plate, let alone the handful of snacks they ate without thinking. Given all that, it’s no surprise that studies suggest the average person underestimates their daily consumption by around 30 per cent (roughly 600-750 calories), or about 10 digestive biscuits. The very idea of working out calorie amounts is problematic. And that’s before we even consider the effect your individual biology can have. For instance, a 2023 study tested the outcomes of giving people a high-fibre diet, designed to feed their gut microbes (肠道菌群). With growing microbial communities in their guts, the scientists found that the participants in the study lost a little bit of weight — without eating less or feeling hungry — because they were absorbing fewer calories from their food. “That means, depending on what you eat and how many microbes are thriving (旺盛繁殖) in your gut, some calories are used by you, while others feed the microbes.” says Professor Rosa Brown, a co-author of the study. If all this is starting to make you think that calorie monitoring might be off the menu, you’d be right. 8. What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Database. B. Shortfall. C. Nutrition. D. Weight. 9. What makes it hard for dieters to count calories? A. Inaccuracy of intake records. B. Lack of tracking approaches. C. Absence of scientific evidence. D. Complexity of calculation procedures. 10. What can we learn from the 2023 study? A. Calorie absorption may vary. B. Eating less means losing weight. C. Fibre reduces people’s hunger. D. Food calories determine body weight. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Forget the Strict Diet B. Simplify Your Calorie Log C. Skip the Dietary Math D. Adjust Your Diet Structure D Food markets have experienced considerable instability in recent years. Global warming is causing droughts, soil desertification and extreme weather. Yet the fundamentals of food production were last transformed in the mid-20th century. Fortunately, global investments in agricultural innovation are on the rise. Funds for agritech companies reached $16.2 billion in 2025. Of this, $9 billion went to new research into boosting farm yields, up from $2.5 billion in 2016. The focus of sustainability efforts is switching from preventing climate change to dealing with it and finding solutions. Scientists are developing alternatives to the pesticides and fertilisers that have dominated modern agriculture since the Green Revolution of the mid-20th century, based on a better understanding of plants themselves. B-COS, a team from Ghent University, is genetically engineering bacteria to produce a special kind of molecule (分子). Tomato and potato plants sprayed (喷洒) with the molecules are tricked into believing they are under attack and activate their natural defenses against infection. B-COS is applying this approach to two new products: one to improve growth and drought tolerance, and another which it claims can reduce disease incidence by 40-50%. Naturally, there are also companies exploring the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence. The general idea of this combination is called “precision agriculture”, which is to help farmers connect everything from the environmental conditions of individual fields to the genetic sequences (序列) of the bacteria present in the soil, and those of the plants themselves. This is then run through AI models that make predictions about the best conditions and treatments to achieve the highest yields or produce the highest-quality crops. “It is going to show us what’s going on in each square metre of the fields, such as temperature, water and carbon absorption,” says Mr. Anders, a managing partner of an agritech company. There is still a long way to go. In 2024, agricultural tech companies attracted just 1.3% of global early-stage venture-capital funding despite agriculture accounting for about 4% of global GDP. But if high-tech innovations still make their way, and the funds keep flowing, a new age of precision agriculture is coming. 12. What is highlighted concerning agricultural investment in paragraph 1? A. Its instability. B. Its source. C. Its influence. D. Its shift. 13. Why did the B-COS team spray the molecules on tomato and potato plants? A. To evaluate disease tolerance. B. To eliminate harmful substances. C. To boost natural resistance. D. To protect healthy plants. 14. What does “precision agriculture” contribute to? A. Accurate market forecasting. B. Efficient harvesting techniques. C. Sufficient genetic information. D. Reasonable agricultural planning. 15. What is the author’s purpose in presenting the data in the last paragraph? A. To call for greater investment. B. To warn of potential risks. C. To cast light on the achievements. D. To give credit to the companies. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture your dream living room. You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café? ____16____ , and researchers say it can influence your wellbeing. In times gone by, soundscapes would’ ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves. ____17____ . With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels and a higher risk of disease in humans.

So, what can be done? ____18____ In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built“superblocks”,where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised. A 2025BMC Public Health article reported that people in these areas experienced improved well-being,better sleep quality, and reduced noise. Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. ____19____ . England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers. ____20____ . But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone. A better world isn’t just cleaner, but it should sound better too. A. Urban design is one trick. B. Sadly, that’s no longer the case in the 21st century. C. Personal mindfulness may silence the chaos outside. D. This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape. E. Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter. F.

Because I had worked as a doctor for years, I knew at once that something was seriously wrong. My heart began to race, and fear quickly filled my mind. I realized I was having a heart attack halfway down the mountain, where no ambulance could easily reach me. Fighting against the growing pain, I carefully rode my bike to the bottom of the track. Every second felt like forever, but I knew stopping was not an option. By the time I reached the car park, my chest felt as if something were pressing against it. I grabbed my phone from the car and called an ambulance, trying to keep my voice calm as I told the operator exactly where I was. Soon I became too weak to stand. Afraid that the ambulance workers might not be able to find me, I lay down beside my car. My vision gradually became blurry (模糊的), and I felt weaker with every passing minute. As more cyclists disappeared into the distance without noticing me, I began to wonder whether help would come in time. Just as I was beginning to lose hope, someone stopped nearby and asked whether I was all right. I managed to whisper that I thought I was having a heart attack and that an ambulance was on its way. The stranger immediately stayed by my side, speaking to me calmly and reassuring me that help would arrive soon. He told me he was Leo, a regular rider on this trail. While waiting for the ambulance, I was extremely worried about what would happen to my mountain bike. After all, mountain bikes weren’t cheap. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Leo noticed my anxious look fixed on the bike. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After I recovered days later, I called the number to get my bike back. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 适用类型：A 2024级高三上学期第二次阶段性诊断测评 英语试题 2026.10 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、考生号、座号填写在相应位置，认真核对条形码上的姓名、考生号和座号，并将条形码粘贴在指定位置上。 2．选择题答案必须使用2B铅笔（按填涂样例）正确填涂；非选择题答案必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3．请按照题号在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。保持卡面清洁，不折叠、不破损。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Whatever the occasion, my father always had something to say. He would ask a thoughtful question or make a sharp comment. As a result, I assumed that he knew something about everything. How could this be? He was certainly an educated man. He was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a neighborhood that was, at the time, simply poor. When a friend applied to a New York high school, he followed suit and was admitted. He went on to earn an undergraduate degree and then, after serving in World War II, earned a Ph.D. in chemistry. It’s an impressive path, but his education had been focused on the sciences; how was it that he knew so much about other things-Stickley furniture and the Battle of Waterloo, for example? I recently put the question to him. He explained that, as a teenager, he had made a promise to himself to ask a question in any gathering he attended. The exercise had sharpened his ability to listen, speak, and engage with whatever was happening. But his initial motivation, as my father readily admits, was simply to participate in the conversation. He came from a poor background and, though very intelligent, lacked the polish of the more privileged people with whom he came into contact. Asking a question was his way of finding his voice, often in settings where he felt uneasy, and also a way of fitting in. In speaking up, he received acknowledgement, which led to greater confidence, which led to greater participation, and in the end, to greater knowledge. Ever since my father’s method caught my attention, I have urged my shyer students to follow his example. I tell them to try to speak at least once during a class, if only to ask a question. Doing so helps them acquire a profile in class and involve themselves more deeply. In time, they will contribute to the conversation. And eventually, they may be able to amaze their children with their wide-ranging knowledge. 4. Why does the author mention her father’s educational path? A. To highlight his academic achievements. B. To explain why he was interested in science. C. To contrast his science education with his broad knowledge. D. To suggest how science contributed to his view on social issues. 5. What’s the father’s initial purpose of asking questions at gatherings? A. To make himself heard. B. To follow his friend’s example. C. To improve his communicative skills. D. To impress others with his intelligence. 6. What does the author expect her students to get from the method? A. A wider range of interests. B. Deeper engagement in learning. C. Greater confidence in public speaking. D. More recognition from their classmates. 7. What message does the author convey through the text? A. One simple habit fuels lasting growth. B. Success relies on seizing every chance. C. A good teacher learns from students as well. D. Childhood experiences decide future careers. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者发现专攻理科的父亲知识广博，源于他坚持在各类场合主动提问的习惯；受此启发，她鼓励害羞的学生课堂开口，深度参与学习。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a neighborhood that was, at the time, simply poor. When a friend applied to a New York high school, he followed suit and was admitted. He went on to earn an undergraduate degree and then, after serving in World War II, earned a Ph.D. in chemistry. It’s an impressive path, but his education had been focused on the sciences; how was it that he knew so much about other things-Stickley furniture and the Battle of Waterloo, for example?(他出生在布鲁克林的威廉斯堡，当时那一带还十分贫困。当一位朋友申请纽约的一所高中时，他也跟着申请并被录取。之后，他获得了学士学位，二战结束后又取得了化学博士学位。 这是一条令人钦佩的学术之路，但他的教育主要集中在科学领域；那么，他怎么会知道其他方面的事情呢？比如斯蒂克利家具、滑铁卢战役等等？)”可推知，作者提到她父亲的求学经历是为了将单一的理科教育背景与广博的知识面形成对比。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But his initial motivation, as my father readily admits, was simply to participate in the conversation. He came from a poor background and, though very intelligent, lacked the polish of the more privileged people with whom he came into contact. Asking a question was his way of finding his voice, often in settings where he felt uneasy, and also a way of fitting in.(但正如我父亲坦率承认的那样，他最初参与讨论的动机，仅仅是为了融入对话之中。他出身贫寒，虽然非常聪明，却缺乏与他接触的那些出身优渥之人的那种从容与优雅。提问成了他表达自我的方式，常常是在让他感到不自在的场合中，也是一条融入集体的途径。)”可推知，父亲最初在聚会上提问的动机很单纯——参与对话、在场合中找到自己的话语权，让自己被听见，从而融入环境。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Doing so helps them acquire a profile in class and involve themselves more deeply. In time, they will contribute to the conversation.(这样做有助于他们在课堂上树立形象，更加深入地参与其中。随着时间推移，他们会逐渐参与到讨论中来。)”可知，作者鼓励害羞的学生效仿父亲，课堂上至少开口提一次问题，核心目的是让学生更深入地参与到课堂学习中，从被动倾听转向主动表达、参与对话。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“Doing so helps them acquire a profile in class and involve themselves more deeply. In time, they will contribute to the conversation. And eventually, they may be able to amaze their children with their wide-ranging knowledge.(这样做有助于他们在课堂上树立形象，更加深入地参与其中。随着时间推移，他们会逐渐参与到讨论中来。最终，或许还能用自己广博的知识让孩子们大吃一惊。)”可知，全文围绕 “主动提问”这一个简单习惯展开：父亲靠提问的习惯从窘迫融入到收获自信、积累广博知识；作者将这个方法教给学生，帮助他们深度参与学习、持续成长。由此可知，作者通过文章传达了一个微小的习惯可以驱动长期的成长与进步。 C Want to lose fat? There’s one method scientifically proven to work: eating a little less food than your body needs to fuel itself each day. Do that, and your body starts using its energy reserves — its stored fat — to make up the deficit. It sounds straightforward. You dutifully keep track of the calories in every meal to make sure your daily intake stays less than your fixed limit, but the number on your weight scale never changes at all. It’s frustrating and disheartening. But there’s good news: you’re not to blame. Recent scientific findings suggest it’s almost impossible to count calories with any degree of accuracy, which explains why trying to lose weight by calorie counting is so hard. It’s not bad maths that trips most of us up, though. Generally, unless you diligently log every ingredient before you eat, humans just aren’t very good at recalling exactly what was on their plate, let alone the handful of snacks they ate without thinking. Given all that, it’s no surprise that studies suggest the average person underestimates their daily consumption by around 30 per cent (roughly 600-750 calories), or about 10 digestive biscuits. The very idea of working out calorie amounts is problematic. And that’s before we even consider the effect your individual biology can have. For instance, a 2023 study tested the outcomes of giving people a high-fibre diet, designed to feed their gut microbes (肠道菌群). With growing microbial communities in their guts, the scientists found that the participants in the study lost a little bit of weight — without eating less or feeling hungry — because they were absorbing fewer calories from their food. “That means, depending on what you eat and how many microbes are thriving (旺盛繁殖) in your gut, some calories are used by you, while others feed the microbes.” says Professor Rosa Brown, a co-author of the study. If all this is starting to make you think that calorie monitoring might be off the menu, you’d be right. 8. What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Database. B. Shortfall. C. Nutrition. D. Weight. 9. What makes it hard for dieters to count calories? A. Inaccuracy of intake records. B. Lack of tracking approaches. C. Absence of scientific evidence. D. Complexity of calculation procedures. 10. What can we learn from the 2023 study? A. Calorie absorption may vary. B. Eating less means losing weight. C. Fibre reduces people’s hunger. D. Food calories determine body weight. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Forget the Strict Diet B. Simplify Your Calorie Log C. Skip the Dietary Math D. Adjust Your Diet Structure 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了通过计算卡路里来减肥的方法之所以困难重重，是因为人类难以准确记录饮食摄入，且个体生物学差异（如肠道菌群）会影响卡路里的吸收，因此卡路里监测可能并不可行。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“eating a little less food than your body needs to fuel itself each day. Do that, and your body starts using its energy reserves — its stored fat — to make up the … (每天摄入比身体所需略少的食物。这样做，你的身体就会开始使用其能量储备——储存的脂肪——来弥补……。)”可知，前文提到了(每天摄入比身体所需略少的食物，还提到了你的身体就会开始使用其能量储备，可推理出划线词的含义为“不足”，与B项“Shortfall(不足，短缺)”意思相近。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recent scientific findings suggest it’s almost impossible to count calories with any degree of accuracy, which explains why trying to lose weight by calorie counting is so hard. It’s not bad maths that trips most of us up, though. Generally, unless you diligently log every ingredient before you eat, humans just aren’t very good at recalling exactly what was on their plate, let alone the handful of snacks they ate without thinking. (近期的科学研究表明，想要精准计算卡路里几乎是不可能的，这也解释了为什么靠计算卡路里减肥如此困难。不过，困扰大多数人的并不是计算失误。一般来说，除非你在进食前认真记录每一样食材，否则人们很难准确回忆起自己盘中究竟吃了什么，更不用说那些不知不觉吃下的少量零食。)”以及“studies suggest the average person underestimates their daily consumption by around 30 per cent (研究表明普通人每天低估约30%的摄入量)”可知，让节食者难以计算卡路里的原因是摄入记录的不准确。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“With growing microbial communities in their guts, the scientists found that the participants in the study lost a little bit of weight — without eating less or feeling hungry — because they were absorbing fewer calories from their food. (随着肠道微生物群落的生长，研究人员发现参与者在没有少吃、也没有感到饥饿的情况下减了一点重，因为他们从食物中吸收的卡路里变少了。)”以及第五段“depending on what you eat and how many microbes are thriving in your gut, some calories are used by you, while others feed the microbes. (取决于你吃什么以及肠道中有多少微生物在旺盛繁殖，有些卡路里被你吸收，有些则喂养了微生物。)”可知，卡路里的吸收因人而异（受肠道菌群影响）。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“It sounds straightforward. You dutifully keep track of the calories in every meal to make sure your daily intake stays less than your fixed limit, but the number on your weight scale never changes at all. It’s frustrating and disheartening. But there’s good news: you’re not to blame. (这听起来简单明了。你认真记录每一餐的卡路里，确保每日摄入量低于设定的上限，可是体重秤上的数字却丝毫不变。这让人倍感沮丧、灰心丧气。不过有个好消息：这并不是你的问题。)”以及最后一段“If all this is starting to make you think that calorie monitoring might be off the menu, you’d be right. (如果这一切让你觉得卡路里监测可能行不通，你是对的。)”可知，本文说的是通过卡路里赤字减肥法却不见效的挫败感，原因是人类回忆饮食不准确，并通过研究证明卡路里吸收受生物学因素影响，末段劝读者别再纠结于卡路里的数字计算，C项“Skip the Dietary Math (跳过饮食数学计算)”最契合主旨。 D Food markets have experienced considerable instability in recent years. Global warming is causing droughts, soil desertification and extreme weather. Yet the fundamentals of food production were last transformed in the mid-20th century. Fortunately, global investments in agricultural innovation are on the rise. Funds for agritech companies reached $16.2 billion in 2025. Of this, $9 billion went to new research into boosting farm yields, up from $2.5 billion in 2016. The focus of sustainability efforts is switching from preventing climate change to dealing with it and finding solutions. Scientists are developing alternatives to the pesticides and fertilisers that have dominated modern agriculture since the Green Revolution of the mid-20th century, based on a better understanding of plants themselves. B-COS, a team from Ghent University, is genetically engineering bacteria to produce a special kind of molecule (分子). Tomato and potato plants sprayed (喷洒) with the molecules are tricked into believing they are under attack and activate their natural defenses against infection. B-COS is applying this approach to two new products: one to improve growth and drought tolerance, and another which it claims can reduce disease incidence by 40-50%. Naturally, there are also companies exploring the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence. The general idea of this combination is called “precision agriculture”, which is to help farmers connect everything from the environmental conditions of individual fields to the genetic sequences (序列) of the bacteria present in the soil, and those of the plants themselves. This is then run through AI models that make predictions about the best conditions and treatments to achieve the highest yields or produce the highest-quality crops. “It is going to show us what’s going on in each square metre of the fields, such as temperature, water and carbon absorption,” says Mr. Anders, a managing partner of an agritech company. There is still a long way to go. In 2024, agricultural tech companies attracted just 1.3% of global early-stage venture-capital funding despite agriculture accounting for about 4% of global GDP. But if high-tech innovations still make their way, and the funds keep flowing, a new age of precision agriculture is coming. 12. What is highlighted concerning agricultural investment in paragraph 1? A. Its instability. B. Its source. C. Its influence. D. Its shift. 13. Why did the B-COS team spray the molecules on tomato and potato plants? A. To evaluate disease tolerance. B. To eliminate harmful substances. C. To boost natural resistance. D. To protect healthy plants. 14. What does “precision agriculture” contribute to? A. Accurate market forecasting. B. Efficient harvesting techniques. C. Sufficient genetic information. D. Reasonable agricultural planning. 15. What is the author’s purpose in presenting the data in the last paragraph? A. To call for greater investment. B. To warn of potential risks. C. To cast light on the achievements. D. To give credit to the companies. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了全球农业创新投资不断增加，科学家正利用基因工程细菌和人工智能等新技术推动精准农业发展，以应对气候变化和粮食生产挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The focus of sustainability efforts is switching from preventing climate change to dealing with it and finding solutions.(可持续发展努力的重点正在从防止气候变化转向应对气候变化并寻找解决方案。)”可知，农业投资的重点正在发生转变，从防止气候变化转向应对和解决气候变化问题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Tomato and potato plants sprayed with the molecules are tricked into believing they are under attack and activate their natural defenses against infection.(喷洒了这种分子的番茄和马铃薯植株会被欺骗，以为自己正受到攻击，从而激活其抵御感染的自然防御。)”可知，B-COS团队给番茄和马铃薯植株喷洒分子是为了激活植物的自然防御，增强其自然抵抗力。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This is then run through AI models that make predictions about the best conditions and treatments to achieve the highest yields or produce the highest-quality crops.(然后，这些数据会通过人工智能模型运行，预测实现最高产量或生产最高质量作物的最佳条件和处理方法。)”可知，精准农业有助于做出合理的农业规划。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In 2024, agricultural tech companies attracted just 1.3% of global early-stage venture-capital funding despite agriculture accounting for about 4% of global GDP. But if high-tech innovations still make their way, and the funds keep flowing, a new age of precision agriculture is coming.(2024年，农业科技公司仅吸引了全球早期风险投资的1.3%，尽管农业约占全球GDP的4%。但如果高科技创新继续推进，资金持续流入，精准农业的新时代即将到来。)”可知，作者呈现这些数据是为了说明农业科技投资仍然不足，呼吁更多投资。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture your dream living room. You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café? ____16____ , and researchers say it can influence your wellbeing. In times gone by, soundscapes would’ ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves. ____17____ . With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels and a higher risk of disease in humans. Not only that, it can affect the behaviour and life cycles of species which rely on sound. So, what can be done? ____18____ In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built“superblocks”,where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised. A 2025BMC Public Health article reported that people in these areas experienced improved well-being,better sleep quality, and reduced noise. Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. ____19____ . England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers. ____20____ . But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone. A better world isn’t just cleaner, but it should sound better too. A. Urban design is one trick. B. Sadly, that’s no longer the case in the 21st century. C. Personal mindfulness may silence the chaos outside. D. This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape. E. Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter. F. In Germany, they have created earth banks next to the airport. G. Noise is an essential part of the soundscape in most environments. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章先介绍音景及对健康的影响，指出如今音景受噪音污染，接着给出城市设计、树木缓冲带等降噪方法，强调减少噪音对打造好音景很重要。 【16题详解】 根据前文“You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café?( 你坐在沙发上，窗户开着。你听到了什么？是河水流动的声音吗？附近咖啡馆的嗡嗡声？)”列举了“河流声、咖啡馆嗡嗡声”等具体声音，空格后提到“it can influence your wellbeing(它能影响你的健康)”此处“it”需指代前文的“多种声音的组合”。D 选项“This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape.( 这种声音的组合被称为音景)。”既承接了前文的声音列举，又为后文的“it”提供了指代对象，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“In times gone by, soundscapes would’ ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves.( 在过去，声景是由自然的声音组成的，比如鸟鸣和海浪撞击的声音。)”说“过去的音景由自然声音构成”，后文“With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.( 随着快速的城市化，航空旅行、建筑和交通噪音现在都混杂在一起，农业噪音意味着即使是农村生活也不安全。)”则转折指出“城市化带来交通、建筑等噪音，甚至农村也受影响”。B选项“Sadly, that’s no longer the case in the 21st century.( 悲哀地，21 世纪情况已不再如此。)”恰好衔接“过去”与“现在”的对比，体现音景的变化，符合转折逻辑。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“So, what can be done?( 那么，我们能做些什么呢？)”提问“能做些什么来解决噪音污染”，后文“In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built “superblocks”, where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised.( 在西班牙的巴塞罗那，城市规划者建造了“超级街区”，在那里，交通绕过大型建筑群，内部街道是步行街。)”以巴塞罗那“超级街区”为例，说明城市规划对减少噪音的作用。A 选项“Urban design is one trick.( 城市设计是一种方法。)”直接回应前文的“解决方案”，并引出后文的城市规划案例，起到承上启下的作用。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy.( 其他技术包括树木缓冲，在城市地区种植树木以吸收声波能量。)”提到“减少噪音的方法包括树木缓冲带”，后文“England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers.( 英格兰有一个巨大的树篱网。事实证明，它们是很好的隔音屏障。)”又例举了英国“树篱作隔音屏障”的例子，空格处需补充另一个“隔音方法”的案例。F选项“In Germany, they have created earth banks next to the airport.( 在德国，人们在机场旁建造土堤。)”与“树木缓冲带”“树篱”并列，均为具体的隔音措施，符合“其他技巧”的列举逻辑。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone. A better world isn’t just cleaner, but it should sound better too.( 但减少噪音污染同样重要，有助于创造一个适合每个人的音景。一个更好的世界不仅仅是更干净，而且听起来也应该更好。)”转折提到“但减少噪音污染同样重要”，说明空格处需提及另一个“改善环境的常见措施”，形成“（某措施）很重要，但噪音污染也重要”的对比。E选项“Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter.( 改善环境通常从减少垃圾开始。)”符合“常见环境措施”的定位，与后文的“噪音污染”构成并列，逻辑通顺。故选E项。 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。 Cliff Young, a humble potato farmer from Australia, was far from a celebrity yet proved that ordinary individuals are capable of extraordinary achievements. In 1983, a grueling 875-kilometer ultra-marathon was held in Australia, attracting world-class athletes in their twenties equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Then, almost out of nowhere, the 61-year-old Cliff ____21____, without any sponsor or professional trainer, dressed in farm overalls and work boots. When he registered, people assumed he had lost his mind; the press even warned him that he might not ____22____ the harsh test. Cliff simply laughed it off, embodying the ultimate underdog. Beneath his worn-out overalls lay an iron ____23____ and a heart full of courage. As the race commenced, the young professionals quickly left him behind. Cliff’s strange, slow running style — a mere dragging step — drew ____24____ looks. However, he possessed a secret weapon: having grown up on a vast farm, he used to look after sheep on foot for days without ____25____. The amusing twist was that professional runners typically ran for 18 hours and slept for 6, but nobody ____26____ Cliff of this “rule”. He simply ____27____ the so-called schedule and kept moving day and night, even when his legs screamed in protest. While the professionals were asleep, Cliff gradually ____28____. By the final day, this elderly farmer had completely taken the lead. Against all odds, he crossed the finish line first, ____29____ the previous race record by nearly two days. His victory was not just a personal success but an _____30_____ to millions. When he received the $10,000 prize, he did not keep a single penny; instead, he _____31_____ every dollar with the other runners, revealing his _____32_____ nature. Cliff Young demonstrated that slow and steady truly wins the race. The next time you feel like a “nobody” facing a huge _____33_____, don’t sell yourself short. Just tie up your boots, go the extra mile, and keep pushing forward — you might just _____34_____ the world. Never underestimate the power of _____35_____. Dare to be different and keep on going. 21.

Because I had worked as a doctor for years, I knew at once that something was seriously wrong. My heart began to race, and fear quickly filled my mind. I realized I was having a heart attack halfway down the mountain, where no ambulance could easily reach me. Fighting against the growing pain, I carefully rode my bike to the bottom of the track. Every second felt like forever, but I knew stopping was not an option. By the time I reached the car park, my chest felt as if something were pressing against it. I grabbed my phone from the car and called an ambulance, trying to keep my voice calm as I told the operator exactly where I was. Soon I became too weak to stand. Afraid that the ambulance workers might not be able to find me, I lay down beside my car. My vision gradually became blurry (模糊的), and I felt weaker with every passing minute. As more cyclists disappeared into the distance without noticing me, I began to wonder whether help would come in time. Just as I was beginning to lose hope, someone stopped nearby and asked whether I was all right. I managed to whisper that I thought I was having a heart attack and that an ambulance was on its way. The stranger immediately stayed by my side, speaking to me calmly and reassuring me that help would arrive soon. He told me he was Leo, a regular rider on this trail. While waiting for the ambulance, I was extremely worried about what would happen to my mountain bike. After all, mountain bikes weren’t cheap. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Leo noticed my anxious look fixed on the bike. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After I recovered days later, I called the number to get my bike back. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Leo noticed my anxious look fixed on the bike. He quickly understood my worry and patted my shoulder gently, saying, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of your bike.” With that, he carefully picked up the bike and secured it to his own. He also took out a piece of paper, scribbled down his phone number, and pressed it into my trembling hand, promising to keep it safe until I was back on my feet. His calm and considerate words, which came at the most critical moment, instantly eased my anxiety. After I recovered days later, I called the number to get my bike back. Leo arrived soon, returning the bike in perfect condition. He also checked how I was feeling, showing his sincere concern. Grateful for his timely help and kindness, which had pulled me back from the edge of despair, I insisted on treating him to lunch. During the meal, we shared our riding stories and became close friends. That accident, instead, brought me a precious friendship that I would cherish forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一名医生，在骑山地车下山途中突发心脏病，在绝望之际得到陌生人Leo的帮助，Leo不仅陪伴安慰作者，还照顾好了作者心爱的山地车，最终两人结下珍贵友谊的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Leo主动安慰作者，承诺照看好自行车，并留下电话号码，缓解作者焦虑的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Leo完好归还自行车，作者感激Leo并与其结下深厚友谊的结局。 2.续写线索：注意到焦虑——安慰承诺——照看自行车——留下号码——康复归车——共进午餐——结为好友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①照看：take care of/safeguard/look after ②坚持：insist on/stick to 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/appreciative ②体贴的：considerate/thoughtful 【点睛】[高分句型1].
