It is a widely used system for noting material from a lecture or reading, and for reviewing and retaining (记住) that material. Tips for Effective Use: Self-Quiz Questions: Write simple questions in the cue column to test yourself later. Summarize Even If Incomplete: Reflect on key points in your own words, even if your notes aren’t perfect. Color Coding: Use colors to highlight key terms, definitions, and examples. This makes your notes clearer and more engaging. Next Steps: Add actions you need to take in the summary to keep learning proactive. Use Your Notes to Study Concentrate on the left-hand column and summary at the bottom. These contain the most important points you will need for your assignment or exam. Cover the right side of the page (the note-taking column) with your hand or another sheet of paper. Quiz yourself by giving answers to the potential questions that you included in the left column. Then uncover the right side and check your comprehension. Reviewing frequently over a longer period of time, rather than cramming before a test, will greatly increase your retention and deepen your understanding of course material. With your effective notes made using the Cornell system, you will be able to study efficiently and with minimal stress. 1. What shared feature do the Cue Column and Summary Column have? A. Act as decorative sections. B. Concentrate on core concepts. C. Be completed during the lecture. D. Document detailed lecture content. 2. Which is the correct way to study with Cornell notes? A. Skip the cue column during revision. B. Rewrite comprehensive notes regularly. C. Intensive memorization right before exams. D. Cover notes and test recall before checking. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare note-taking methods. B. To illustrate how note-taking evolved. C. To describe the benefits of color coding. D. To promote an effective note-taking method. B A new documentary, Timeless Qingyi, airs on China Central Television’s documentary channel, offering an intimate look into the life and legacy of Shen Fucun, one of the most revered masters of Peking Opera. Born into a poor family in Chongqing in 1935, Shen rose to become a distinguished performer of his generation. As a male actor renowned for portraying qingyi, a virtuous and refined female role, he earned the nicknames “Sichuan Mei Lanfang” and “Chongqing Zhang Junqiu”, showing respect to two celebrated masters. Over a career spanning nearly 70 years, he became a national inheritor of this intangible cultural heritage and served as a visiting professor. He passed away in 2021. The documentary stands out for its meticulous, deeply human approach. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Xu Bei, the three-episode series weaves together archival footage, family recollections and interviews to illuminate both the artist and the man behind the stage. Playwright Luo Huaizhen says the film reveals an artist’s refined aesthetic sensibility and the enduring grace of a true gentleman. Luo also notes that the film goes beyond a conventional account of Shen’s accomplishments, placing his life within social change and opera evolution, moving away from heroic narrative to reveal the experiences of an ordinary individual. By focusing on daily life details and inner world, the documentary creates intimacy, making audiences feel as though they are beside him. The series highlights Shen’s role as a father and mentor to his daughter Shen Tiemei, vice-chair of China Theatre Association, capturing a cross-generational artistic dialogue. Shen Tiemei recalls his unwavering commitment to creative transformation and innovative development of Peking Opera, describing him as a mirror who inspired her to refine her craft. She is determined to carry forward his artistic vision, hoping to pass on his ideas to younger performers and devote herself to preserving traditional Chinese opera. 4. According to the passage, Shen Fucun in his early life. A. has a wealthy childhood B. acted as a male character in the play C. was influenced by Mei and Zhang D. was well-known throughout the world 5. What makes the documentary unique according to the passage? A. It only covers Shen’s major stage achievements B. It tells Shen’s story in a heroic and grand style. C. It focuses on Shen’s personal emotion and experience. D. It mainly relies on interviews with his daughter. 6. What did Shen Fucun leave to his daughter? A. His personal fortune. B. His academic reputation. C. His spiritual treasure. D. His unique skills of acting. 7. What message does this passage convey? A. All that glitters is not gold. B. Art is long, life is short. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Good teachers carry culture’s flame. C A “memory breakdown” is often said to be the major cognitive problem of our time. In a recent piece in The Chronicle Review, Daniel Mercer argued that “students can’t remember even simple facts without checking their phones”, and many schools have quietly lowered expectations for memorizing dates, formulas and vocabulary. Yet complaints about weak memory are hardly new. In the late 19th century, British educator Henry Latham blamed that cheap printed books would destroy students’ power to remember, because they no longer needed to keep long passages in their heads. Over the decades, similar denunciations have returned each time a new tool has entered classrooms. Mercer suggests that rather than a simple loss of ability, we may be seeing a shift in how people choose to use their memory. Many students now treat their phones as an “external brain”, much as earlier generations treated the family bookshelf. At the same time, the use of digital calendars, search engines and cloud storage continue to rise. This points to a change not in whether people can remember, but in what they believe is worth remembering. “Students can still memorize,” Mercer wrote. “They’re just deciding to memorize different things.” This leads to a deeper question: What kind of memory do we truly need, and why? Psychologists often distinguish between recall — producing information with no help — and recognition, which is using clues to find what we once knew. In classic “change blindness” experiments, people fail to notice that a stranger they are speaking to has been secretly replaced by another person, because their attention is on the task, not the face. It shows that relying on external cues (提示) and context is not always a weakness; it may reflect a different way of managing limited mental resources. Could today’s young people be developing useful memory strategies that we have not yet learned to value? What about their skill at searching huge databases in seconds, or at linking ideas across videos, chats and online documents? These new habits of remembering challenge us to reconsider — with the history of past “memory breakdown” in mind — how we might understand and support human memory in more flexible, forward-looking ways. 8. What does the underlined word “denunciations” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Origins. B. Reminders. C. Criticisms. D. Indicators. 9. What does the growing use of digital tools suggest according to Mercer? A. People no longer need to train their memory. B. People are changing the way they use their memory. C. Schools are forcing students to rely on external devices. D. Modern technology is destroying traditional learning tools. 10. Why does the author mention the “change blindness” experiments? A. To display that people are easily fooled by visual tricks. B. To prove that using outside cues can be a reasonable strategy. C. To demonstrate that face recognition is more important than tasks. D. To illustrate that most memories are formed without our awareness. 11. What will probably be discussed next? A. Challenges facing the young generation. B. More valuable lessons taught by history. C. Ways to support memory in the digital age. D. Effects of relying on external memory tools. D Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called bio-fluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight. Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions. In the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up. Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter who led the study notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.” The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez. Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel. Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets. 12. How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence? A. It is drawing less attention. B. It produces brighter lights. C. It needs an outside light source. D. It makes better use of chemical reactions. 13. What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. They both describe light-based hunting methods. B. They both explain the formation of a close partnership. C. They both highlight potential threats to the environment. D. They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence. 14. What is the main use of GFP in science? A. To protect corals from bleaching. B. To create more efficient LED lights. C. To treat the disease of Alzheimer’s. D. To visualize cells for better observation. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Hidden Light Show B. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Display of Beauty C. Bioluminescence: Ocean’s Ancient Magic Power D. Bioluminescence: Colourful Window into Ocean Secret 第二节 七选五阅读（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。 How to handle criticism in a healthy way Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger (引发) feelings such as anger, shame, or fear. While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way. ____16____ Keeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism, but it can also help you move forward in life. Here’s how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage. Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in. Having a stock comment in your pocket, such as, “That’s an interesting viewpoint,” can lessen the initial emotional impact. If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it. ____17____ Embrace it as a learning opportunity. We all make mistakes. As we go through life, we have plenty of opportunities to learn and improve. However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally. ____18____ Accept the fact that the other person’s comments may have hurt you. Once you have acknowledged it, you can allow yourself to use their words toward the process of self-improvement. ____19____ If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to. Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you. ____20____ Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful. A. Respond calmly. B. Practice active listening. C. It is quite normal to feel hurt. D. It can be an opportunity to improve. E. Getting a response is better than absolute silence. F. This is a good time to clarify any misunderstandings. G. This is better than responding in the heat of the moment. 第三部分 语言运用（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、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Josiah Jackson has played the piano since age 4 and he started his piano-tuning (钢琴调音) career at 18.

But to Amy, household chores were a tiresome burden and a waste of her precious time. Every time her mother asked her to wash the dishes after dinner, Amy would protest, “It’s unfair! Why should I have to do the dishes?” Usually, Mrs. Thompson would sigh and do it herself. One Monday evening, as Amy got up from the table, Mrs. Thompson began coughing violently and her face grew very pale. “I’m not feeling well,” she said and went to her bedroom without even mentioning the dishes. Amy was about to leave the dirty plates in the sink as usual, but something stopped her. She remembered her mother’s tired eyes and weak voice, and it struck her how tired her mother had looked lately — doing a demanding job and taking care of the household all by herself. Quietly, Amy walked her mother to her room, and then returned to the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, took a deep breath, and rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was drying the last plate, she heard a gentle voice from behind. “Amy?” Mrs. Thompson, who was standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with surprise and warmth, said very gently. Amy turned around and, feeling a little embarrassed, she mumbled, “Well... Since you’re not feeling well, I thought I’d help out tonight.” “Thank you, sweetheart,” Mrs. Thompson said very gently. “That means a lot to me.” That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking about the gentleness in her mother’s voice. “Maybe, Mom was right,” Amy thought. “Doing housework isn’t just a chore. It is a way to show love.” 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。 Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省扬州中学2026-2027学年度第一学期质量检测 高二英语 2026.10 （试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1．作答前，请考生务必将自己的姓名、考试证号等写在答题卡上并贴上条形码。 2．将选择题答案填写在答题卡的指定位置上，非选择题一律在答题卡上作答，在试卷上答题无效。 3．考试结束后，请将机读卡和答题卡交监考人员。 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.

Born into a poor family in Chongqing in 1935, Shen rose to become a distinguished performer of his generation. As a male actor renowned for portraying qingyi, a virtuous and refined female role, he earned the nicknames “Sichuan Mei Lanfang” and “Chongqing Zhang Junqiu”, showing respect to two celebrated masters. Over a career spanning nearly 70 years, he became a national inheritor of this intangible cultural heritage and served as a visiting professor. He passed away in 2021. The documentary stands out for its meticulous, deeply human approach. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Xu Bei, the three-episode series weaves together archival footage, family recollections and interviews to illuminate both the artist and the man behind the stage. Playwright Luo Huaizhen says the film reveals an artist’s refined aesthetic sensibility and the enduring grace of a true gentleman. Luo also notes that the film goes beyond a conventional account of Shen’s accomplishments, placing his life within social change and opera evolution, moving away from heroic narrative to reveal the experiences of an ordinary individual. By focusing on daily life details and inner world, the documentary creates intimacy, making audiences feel as though they are beside him. The series highlights Shen’s role as a father and mentor to his daughter Shen Tiemei, vice-chair of China Theatre Association, capturing a cross-generational artistic dialogue. Shen Tiemei recalls his unwavering commitment to creative transformation and innovative development of Peking Opera, describing him as a mirror who inspired her to refine her craft.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一部关于京剧大师沈福存的纪录片，该片以细腻的人文视角展现了他的艺术人生、精神品格，以及他对女儿沈铁梅和后辈的文化传承。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“As a male actor renowned for portraying qingyi, a virtuous and refined female role, he earned the nicknames “Sichuan Mei Lanfang” and “Chongqing Zhang Junqiu”, showing respect to two celebrated masters. (作为一名以饰演青衣（一种贤淑优雅的女性角色）而闻名的男演员，人们称他为“四川梅兰芳”“重庆张君秋”，以此向两位著名大师致敬。)”可知，他被称为“四川梅兰芳”和“重庆张君秋”，说明他的艺术风格受到梅兰芳和张君秋两位大师的影响。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句“The documentary stands out for its meticulous, deeply human approach. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Xu Bei, the three-episode series weaves together archival footage, family recollections and interviews to illuminate both the artist and the man behind the stage. (这部纪录片以其细致入微、充满人文关怀的手法而脱颖而出。该片由获奖导演徐蓓执导，共三集，将档案影像、家庭回忆与访谈交织在一起，既展现了舞台上的艺术家，也揭示了舞台背后作为普通人的他。)”及第四句“Luo also notes that the film goes beyond a conventional account of Shen’s accomplishments, placing his life within social change and opera evolution, moving away from heroic narrative to reveal the experiences of an ordinary individual. (罗怀臻还指出，这部影片超越了对沈福存成就的传统记述，将他的生命置于社会变迁与戏曲演进的背景之中，摒弃了英雄叙事的模式，转而展现一个普通个体的生命历程。)”可知，这说明该片独特之处在于关注沈福存的个人情感与日常经历，而非只讲成就或采用宏大英雄叙事。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中第二、三句“Shen Tiemei recalls his unwavering commitment to creative transformation and innovative development of Peking Opera, describing him as a mirror who inspired her to refine her craft. She is determined to carry forward his artistic vision, hoping to pass on his ideas to younger performers and devote herself to preserving traditional Chinese opera. (沈铁梅回忆父亲对京剧创造性转化和创新性发展的坚定执着，称他像一面镜子，激励她打磨技艺。她决心传承父亲的艺术理念，将其传授给年轻演员，并致力于保护传统戏曲。)”可知，沈福存留给女儿的是精神层面的财富，是艺术理念与传承使命，而非金钱、学术声誉或单纯的表演技巧。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段介绍纪录片聚焦沈福存的艺术人生；第二段简述沈福存的出身和艺术成就；第三段说明纪录片以细腻人文的手法展现沈福存作为普通个体的日常生活与内心世界；第四段引出沈福存作为父亲和导师对女儿沈铁梅的影响，以及沈铁梅决心传承其艺术理念、培养年轻演员并保护传统戏曲。综合全文，核心在于展现一位艺术大师通过言传身教，将文化薪火传递给后辈。D选项“Good teachers carry culture’s flame. (良师传承文化之火)”是文章最想传递的信息。 C A “memory breakdown” is often said to be the major cognitive problem of our time. In a recent piece in The Chronicle Review, Daniel Mercer argued that “students can’t remember even simple facts without checking their phones”, and many schools have quietly lowered expectations for memorizing dates, formulas and vocabulary. Yet complaints about weak memory are hardly new. In the late 19th century, British educator Henry Latham blamed that cheap printed books would destroy students’ power to remember, because they no longer needed to keep long passages in their heads. Over the decades, similar denunciations have returned each time a new tool has entered classrooms. Mercer suggests that rather than a simple loss of ability, we may be seeing a shift in how people choose to use their memory. Many students now treat their phones as an “external brain”, much as earlier generations treated the family bookshelf. At the same time, the use of digital calendars, search engines and cloud storage continue to rise. This points to a change not in whether people can remember, but in what they believe is worth remembering. “Students can still memorize,” Mercer wrote. “They’re just deciding to memorize different things.” This leads to a deeper question: What kind of memory do we truly need, and why? Psychologists often distinguish between recall — producing information with no help — and recognition, which is using clues to find what we once knew. In classic “change blindness” experiments, people fail to notice that a stranger they are speaking to has been secretly replaced by another person, because their attention is on the task, not the face. It shows that relying on external cues (提示) and context is not always a weakness; it may reflect a different way of managing limited mental resources. Could today’s young people be developing useful memory strategies that we have not yet learned to value? What about their skill at searching huge databases in seconds, or at linking ideas across videos, chats and online documents? These new habits of remembering challenge us to reconsider — with the history of past “memory breakdown” in mind — how we might understand and support human memory in more flexible, forward-looking ways. 8. What does the underlined word “denunciations” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Origins. B. Reminders. C. Criticisms. D. Indicators. 9. What does the growing use of digital tools suggest according to Mercer? A. People no longer need to train their memory. B. People are changing the way they use their memory. C. Schools are forcing students to rely on external devices. D. Modern technology is destroying traditional learning tools. 10. Why does the author mention the “change blindness” experiments? A. To display that people are easily fooled by visual tricks. B. To prove that using outside cues can be a reasonable strategy. C. To demonstrate that face recognition is more important than tasks. D. To illustrate that most memories are formed without our awareness. 11. What will probably be discussed next? A. Challenges facing the young generation. B. More valuable lessons taught by history. C. Ways to support memory in the digital age. D. Effects of relying on external memory tools. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕“记忆衰退”这一话题展开讨论，指出对记忆力下降的抱怨由来已久，并引用Daniel Mercer的观点，认为人们并非丧失记忆能力，而是在选择记住什么方面发生了转变，最后呼吁以更灵活、前瞻性的方式理解和支持人类记忆。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“In the late 19th century, British educator Henry Latham blamed that cheap printed books would destroy students' power to remember, because they no longer needed to keep long passages in their heads. (19世纪末，英国教育家亨利·拉瑟姆指责廉价印刷书籍会摧毁学生的记忆力，因为他们不再需要将长篇段落记在脑海中。)”可知，此处blamed表示批评、指责，下文“similar denunciations have returned each time a new tool has entered classrooms（每当有新工具进入课堂时，类似的denunciations就会再次出现)”中similar说明denunciations与上文blamed含义相近。所以“denunciations”意思为“批评”与Criticisms同义。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mercer suggests that rather than a simple loss of ability, we may be seeing a shift in how people choose to use their memory. (Mercer认为，与其说是简单的能力丧失，不如说我们正在目睹人们选择使用记忆的方式发生了转变。)”以及“Students can still memorize. They're just deciding to memorize different things. (学生仍然能够记忆。他们只是决定记住不同的东西。)”可知，Mercer认为数字工具的日益使用表明人们正在改变使用记忆的方式，而非丧失记忆能力。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In classic “change blindness” experiments, people fail to notice that a stranger they are speaking to has been secretly replaced by another person, because their attention is on the task, not the face. It shows that relying on external cues (提示) and context is not always a weakness; it may reflect a different way of managing limited mental resources. (在经典的 “变化盲视” 实验中，人们无法察觉正在交谈的陌生人已经被悄悄换成了另一个人，因为他们的注意力集中在任务上，而非对方的面孔。这表明依赖外部提示和语境并不总是一种弱点；它可能反映了一种管理有限心理资源的不同方式。)”可知，作者提及“变化盲视”实验是为了证明使用外部线索可以是一种合理的策略，而非弱点。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These new habits of remembering challenge us to reconsider — with the history of past “memory breakdown” in mind — how we might understand and support human memory in more flexible, forward-looking ways. (这些新的记忆习惯促使我们重新思考——考虑到过去“记忆衰退”的历史——我们如何以更灵活、更具前瞻性的方式理解和支持人类记忆。)”可知，文章结尾提出了以灵活、前瞻性方式理解和支持记忆的方向，接下来最可能讨论的是在数字时代支持记忆的具体方式。 D Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called bio-fluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight. Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions. In the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up. Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter who led the study notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.” The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez. Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel. Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets. 12. How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence? A. It is drawing less attention. B. It produces brighter lights. C. It needs an outside light source. D. It makes better use of chemical reactions. 13. What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. They both describe light-based hunting methods. B. They both explain the formation of a close partnership. C. They both highlight potential threats to the environment. D. They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence. 14. What is the main use of GFP in science? A. To protect corals from bleaching. B. To create more efficient LED lights. C. To treat the disease of Alzheimer’s. D. To visualize cells for better observation. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Hidden Light Show B. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Display of Beauty C. Bioluminescence: Ocean’s Ancient Magic Power D. Bioluminescence: Colourful Window into Ocean Secret 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了海洋中的生物荧光现象及绿色荧光蛋白在科学领域的应用以及基于生物荧光的可持续技术发展，最后指出海洋中仍有许多关于生物荧光的未解之谜。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow.(与通过化学反应产生光的生物发光不同，生物荧光依赖于吸收外界的光来发光。)”可知，生物荧光需要外部光源才能发光，这是它与生物发光的核心区别。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.(如果没有这种相互作用，珊瑚白化 —— 珊瑚生态系统面临的一个重大威胁 —— 将会加速。)”可知，第三段以珊瑚礁为例，说明了珊瑚的生物荧光能减缓白化速度；根据第四段“When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape.(当受到猎人的威胁时，它会释放出一团生物荧光墨汁。突然迸发的亮光会迷惑攻击者，为乌贼争取宝贵的几秒钟时间来逃跑。)”可知，第四段以短尾乌贼为例，介绍了它的生物荧光墨水能迷惑捕食者。结合第二段“This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions.(这种自然的灯光秀不仅仅是为了美观；它还具有重要的生存功能。)”可知，这两个例子均是为了说明生物荧光的生存功能。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s.(研究人员意识到绿色荧光蛋白可以用来标记特定细胞，使看不见的过程变得可见。如今，它在大脑研究中照亮神经细胞，帮助绘制阿尔茨海默病等疾病中的神经连接。)”可知，GFP在科学中的主要用途是标记细胞使其可视化，便于观察研究。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. (海洋表面之下隐藏着一个秘密的光世界)”和最后一段“each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show”(每次探险都揭示了这场美丽的水下灯光秀中的新角色)”及文章内容可知，全文围绕“生物荧光”展开，介绍了其原理、生存功能、科学应用和未解之谜，故“生物荧光：大自然隐藏的灯光秀”最能概括全文内容。 第二节 七选五阅读（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。 How to handle criticism in a healthy way Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger (引发) feelings such as anger, shame, or fear. While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way. ____16____ Keeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism, but it can also help you move forward in life. Here’s how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage. Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in. Having a stock comment in your pocket, such as, “That’s an interesting viewpoint,” can lessen the initial emotional impact. If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it. ____17____ Embrace it as a learning opportunity. We all make mistakes. As we go through life, we have plenty of opportunities to learn and improve. However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally. ____18____ Accept the fact that the other person’s comments may have hurt you. Once you have acknowledged it, you can allow yourself to use their words toward the process of self-improvement. ____19____ If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to. Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you. ____20____ Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful. A. Respond calmly. B. Practice active listening. C. It is quite normal to feel hurt. D. It can be an opportunity to improve. E. Getting a response is better than absolute silence. F. This is a good time to clarify any misunderstandings. G. This is better than responding in the heat of the moment. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何以一种健康的方式处理批评的几点建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way.(虽然批评可以被视为伤害，但也可以以积极的方式看待)”可知，批评虽然可能被认为是有害的，但也可以从积极的方面来看待。D选项It can be an opportunity to improve.(它可以是一个提升的机会)进一步阐述了批评的积极作用，与上文衔接紧密。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in.(不要做出第一反应。感觉“受到攻击”可能会引发“战斗-逃跑-冻结”反应。深呼吸，冷静下来，让逻辑介入)”以及 “If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it.( 如果你受到了严厉的批评，那么你可以要求更多的时间来处理它)”可知，这里强调要控制第一反应，不要在情绪激动时回应。G选项This is better than responding in the heat of the moment.(这比在一时冲动时回应要好)承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally.(然而，积极地接受批评并不意味着把自己封闭起来)”可知，积极接受批评并不意味着在情感上封闭自己。C选项It is quite normal to feel hurt.(感到受伤是很正常的)承接上文，说明即使要积极接受批评，感到受伤也是正常的。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to.(如果批评是一种反馈，那么了解反馈到底是什么是很重要的。批评的真正意图是什么？例如，如果你的老板在你所犯的错误上给你反馈，他可能是在试图传达你如何在未来纠正和避免错误。试着理解你的批评者在说什么，如果需要的话寻求澄清)”可知，这一段主要讲要理解批评的真正意图，也就是要积极倾听。B选项Practice active listening.(练习积极倾听)符合段落主旨，适合作为该段的小标题。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you.(感谢那些提出批评的人。有时他们是出于想要帮助你的目的。这需要勇气，是一件非常慷慨的事情。即使他们不想帮忙，他们也会花时间回应你)”以及下文“Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful.(引起反应意味着你做了一些有趣的事情——为此，你应该心存感激)”可知，这里强调要感谢批评者，因为得到回应总比绝对的沉默要好。E选项Getting a response is better than absolute silence.(得到回应比绝对的沉默要好)起承上启下作用，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（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、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Josiah Jackson has played the piano since age 4 and he started his piano-tuning (钢琴调音) career at 18.

But to Amy, household chores were a tiresome burden and a waste of her precious time. Every time her mother asked her to wash the dishes after dinner, Amy would protest, “It’s unfair! Why should I have to do the dishes?” Usually, Mrs. Thompson would sigh and do it herself. One Monday evening, as Amy got up from the table, Mrs. Thompson began coughing violently and her face grew very pale. “I’m not feeling well,” she said and went to her bedroom without even mentioning the dishes. Amy was about to leave the dirty plates in the sink as usual, but something stopped her. She remembered her mother’s tired eyes and weak voice, and it struck her how tired her mother had looked lately — doing a demanding job and taking care of the household all by herself. Quietly, Amy walked her mother to her room, and then returned to the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, took a deep breath, and rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was drying the last plate, she heard a gentle voice from behind. “Amy?” Mrs. Thompson, who was standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with surprise and warmth, said very gently. Amy turned around and, feeling a little embarrassed, she mumbled, “Well... Since you’re not feeling well, I thought I’d help out tonight.” “Thank you, sweetheart,” Mrs. Thompson said very gently. “That means a lot to me.” That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking about the gentleness in her mother’s voice. “Maybe, Mom was right,” Amy thought. “Doing housework isn’t just a chore. It is a way to show love.” 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。 Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. The next morning, Amy sprang out of bed as soon as the alarm rang and tiptoed into the kitchen. She boiled eggs and made toasts. She even squeezed fresh orange juice on the bread. When her mother came to the kitchen, Amy said cheerfully, “Surprise, Mom! I find I am very good at preparing breakfast! Now, you could rest a bit more until you’re fully recovered.” As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. She no longer saw it as a duty but a way to contribute to the family. She took on more tasks — sweeping the floors, tidying the living room, and even joining her mother in the garden on weekends. Mrs. Thompson was overjoyed by the change. What’s more, Amy discovered that working side by side with her mother had become their special time to talk and bond — and their relationship grew closer than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了艾米原本认为做家务是负担，但母亲生病后她主动洗碗，意识到做家务是表达爱的方式的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“睡觉前，艾米把闹钟调早了40分钟。”可知，第一段可描写艾米早起后主动为母亲做早餐，以及母亲的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，艾米对家务的态度开始改变。”可知，第二段可描写艾米对家务态度的具体转变，以及她从中获得的成长和感悟。 2.续写线索： 艾米早起——准备早餐——母亲惊喜——艾米态度转变——主动承担家务——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①踮起脚尖走进厨房：tiptoe into the kitchen/walk into the kitchen on tiptoe ②打扫地板：sweep the floors/clean the floors ③承担任务：take on tasks/undertake tasks/accept tasks 情绪类 ①高兴地：cheerfully/happily/joyfully ②高兴的：overjoyed/delighted/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】When her mother came to the kitchen, Amy said cheerfully, “Surprise, Mom!
