B While the world is worried about rocketing energy prices, Feldheim, a small German village surrounded by wind power turbines, has been benefiting from its turn to climate-friendly renewables. “When it comes to keeping the lights on, what’s happening in the rest of the world doesn’t really interest us,”56-year-old Michael Knape, who served as Feldheim mayor for almost a quarter-century, told AFP. Like much of the eastern state of Brandenburg where it is located, Feldheim, with a population of 130, sits on a flat, windswept plain. It owns dozens of wind turbines that generate plenty of energy. Since one of them provides enough power for the whole village, excess energy is stored in batteries for use in periods with little wind, or sold to the network operators. As for heating, a biogas plant runs on leftover grain from an agricultural cooperative. On very cold evenings, the village gets a boost from a woodchip-fired plant. “We hope it always stays like this,” said Petra Richter, whose oil-powered boiler was replaced 15 years ago with pipes carrying communal hot water and a heat exchanger. “I just pay an average of 12 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity, less than half the price usually paid elsewhere in Germany.” According to Knape, the local government also saves several hundred thousand euros a year by doing without fossil fuels. Feldheim started its move towards clean renewables in the 1990s and by 2010 achieved its “energy self-sufficiency”. The small village has since attracted attention from across the world as an example of Germany’s decades-old energy transition project away from fossil fuels and nuclear power. “Feldheim has benefited from its unique local conditions and significant investments,” Knape admitted. “Obviously, I can’t compare this village with a big city. In the long term, Germany still has to think about new solutions.” 24. What can we say about Brandenburg? A. It is located in a very windy region. B. It has achieved its energy self-sufficiency. C. It is a village with a small population. D. It started investing in renewables long ago. 25. What is the woodchip-fired plant mainly used for in Feldheim? A. Lighting. B. Battery charging. C. Heating. D. Leftover grain recycling. 26. Which word can best describe the wind power project in Feldheim? A. Controversial. B. Unreliable. C. Inefficient. D. Profitable. 27. What does Michael Knape imply in the last paragraph? A. Projects in Feldheim cost a lot of money. B. Renewables aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. C. He is proud of his achievements in Feldheim. D. Feldheim should invest more in renewables. C Everyone loves dolphins. They’re adorable and playful. They’re often called the geniuses of the ocean. But in a recent piece for New Scientist, Caroline Williams has begun to question that last assumption. “When it comes to brainpower, dolphins might not be as special as we might think,” Williams writes. “Studies do show that dolphins can understand symbols the way humans do, but so can sea lions, parrots, monkeys and more. Actually the sea lions learn them more quickly.” Williams also questions the so-called “mirror test”, which claims that dolphins can recognize themselves or have a sense of self. “But if you look at the data, they perform the same behavior when the mirror’s there and when it’s not,” she argues. The size of a dolphin’s brain — even larger than a chimpanzee’s — is often used as proof to its intelligence, but Williams says that is also not the case. “They do have big brains, but then again the relationship between size and intelligence is kind of a tricky one anyway,” she says. According to Williams, the image of dolphins as “peaceful, loving geniuses” can be traced back to Dr. John Lilly. Lilly thought dolphins were at least as intelligent as humans, and spent years trying to figure out a way to communicate with the creature. Lilly’s life and work were an inspiration for the 1973 science fiction film The Day of the Dolphin. George Scott plays a version of Lilly — a researcher who teaches dolphins to speak English. “As a result of his early work, dolphins did start to get more attention and more researchers started looking into their intelligence,” Williams explains. “If similar things had been said about sea lions back then, maybe they would have been given just as much study. So that’s been good and bad really. On the one hand, it means we do understand dolphins quite well because there’s been a lot of research on them. On the other hand, they may be unfairly elevated (抬高) above other species. Our study shows that they are on par with other species at the most.” 28. Which statement is Caroline Williams very unlikely to agree with? A. The mirror test is misleading. B. Sea lions may be smarter than dolphins. C. Dolphins are super intelligent. D. Intelligence is not determined by brain size. 29. What is George Scott? A. A writer. B. A scientist. C. A teacher. D. An actor. 30. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “on par with” in the last paragraph? A. As smart as. B. Aware of. C. Suitable for. D. Less sensitive than. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To review a movie. B. To introduce a new study. C. To make an argument. D. To expose false assumptions. D If we build settlements on Mars, how will we feed ourselves? Relying on deliveries from Earth would take too long and costs would be too high, since getting to the Red Planet is currently a nine-month one-way journey. On top of that, processed foodstuff lacks vital nutrients. Building upon their past research, scientists at Wageningen University in the Netherlands are now exploring how to use a technique perfected by Maya farmers centuries ago to increase crop production on Mars. The method, named intercropping, involves growing multiple kinds of plants together in greenhouses that reproduced conditions that could eventually be found on Mars. Inside the greenhouses, the researchers filled pots with a mixture of rocks, dust and sand, known as regolith, that is similar to Martian soil. Separately, they also filled some pots with standard potting soil and some with river sand. They added a small amount of organic soil to both the regolith and river sand pots to help root growth. Then, they planted peas, carrots and tomatoes in each of the different soil types, both on their own (a practice known as “monocropping”) and together (intercropping). Their past research had shown that these three crops could grow in Martian regolith, which allowed the team to focus specifically on their questions about intercropping. Peas, carrots and tomatoes are also promising Mars crops because they are high in vitamin C and other nutrients that are typically reduced or destroyed during processing. After 105 days, they harvested their crops and calculated the yield and nutritional value of each plant. Their results were a bit mixed. In the Martian regolith, tomatoes grew much better when planted alongside carrots and peas. The carrots, meanwhile, had a lower yield in intercropping compared to monocropping. The peas fared similarly under both conditions. “The tomato did profit from the peas, but the carrot most certainly did not,” says study co-author Wieger Wamelink. “This was probably due to lack of light. The tall tomato and pea plants did out-compete the carrot by taking light from it.” 32. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The choice of the crops. B. The preparation of the soil. C. The definition of regolith. D. The making of Martian soil. 33. What did the researchers do in their previous experiment? A. They invented two new cropping methods. B. They concentrated on increasing production. C. They tried to preserve the nutrients in the crops. D. They tested if the plants could survive in regolith. 34. What did the researchers find in the current experiment? A. Carrots grew much faster than peas. B. Monocropping worked better for peas. C. Only tomatoes benefited from intercropping. D. Tomatoes and carrots were the best combination. 35. How do the researchers most probably feel about planting the crops on Mars? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Uninterested. 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。 The concept of so-called “biorhythms”, or periods of 23, 28, and 33 days is all over social media. ___36___. But it’s essentially nonsense. The idea behind so-called “biorhythms” is that over the course of month-long periods, your physical, emotional, and intellectual states are up and down, so you should adjust your personal schedule and act when each of them is at the top of one of its cycles. This thinking dictates (使人相信) that you are productive only on certain days in a month and it gives you permission to relax when you perceive yourself to be on the low end of these so-called rhythms. ___37___: If you’re patiently waiting for a biorhythm to peak, your responsibilities and tasks can add up, which will leave you with a bunch of stuff to do — and much of it, left alone for so long, will likely become urgent. Scientists have looked into this and proven it wrong, but the enduring belief in this phenomenon has led to some money grabs when some people try to sell you products that seemingly can help you control your own biorhythms to maximize your energy, productivity, and happiness. Now, you might have heard of circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) and assumed biorhythms are roughly the same thing. ___38___. According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark. There’s a whole science behind it, which amounts to this: ___39___, since your body sleeps at night, and you will be awake in daylight to get stuff done, ideally feeling alert. ___40___. You’ll be more productive if you get consistent and good sleep. You don’t need to track peaks or subscribe to apps to master this. Instead, focus on getting quality sleep and maximizing what you are doing during those precious daylight hours. A. The problem is obvious B. In fact, they’re quite different C. You get tired when it gets dark D. You should take a break when you feel tired E. You might think there’s some science behind it F. So-called “biorhythms” aren’t real, but circadian rhythms are G. There are, however, other ways to track your peaks in productivity 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jane August launched what seemed like a straightforward plan: She would visit every museum in New York City and ____41____ a short video of each one.

So it’s ____52____ to be able to play a small role in that success,” she adds. “As for my motivation to continue the project, it ____53____ the people.

The joke has even evolved into variations like “You will become Chinese tomorrow” and “Chinamaxxing (acting increasingly more Chinese)”. Are these jokes sincere ____58____ ironic (嘲讽)? Both.

Everything felt strange: unfamiliar streets, empty playgrounds, and new neighbours. He missed his old friends and often sat by the window, staring at the quiet yard. “Nobody here even knows my name,” he whispered. One afternoon, a sudden storm caught Charles on his way home from school. He ran and hid at a bus stop, wet and cold. An old man noticed him and handed him an umbrella. “Take it, boy, or you’ll catch a cold,” he said kindly. “I know you just moved next door. I saw you walking towards our street.” Charles was deeply touched by his kindness. The next day, Charles went to return the umbrella. The old man, Grandpa Wilson, showed him the small backyard, where a wooden box of old books sat under the tree. Charles noticed a worn photo of smiling children. “That was my class,” Grandpa Wilson said softly. “I used to tell them stories in this backyard.” Charles gradually opened his heart. “I miss my old friends. I feel like a stranger here.” Grandpa Wilson listened patiently and smiled, “Everyone was a stranger once. A seed needs time to take root.” For the first time in weeks, Charles laughed. As they talked on, however, a worried look returned to Charles’s face. “Our school will hold a Storytelling Day next week. I have to tell a story in front of the class, but I don’t have the courage, and I have no friends to discuss it with,” he admitted. Grandpa Wilson understood his trouble at once. He was silent for a moment, and then a warm smile spread across his face. “You have me, Charles. Come to my backyard tomorrow evening — I have something for you.” 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。 The next evening, Charles went to Grandpa Wilson’s backyard with curiosity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Days later, on the Storytelling Day, Charles’s heart was beating fast but his steps were steady. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江西U18名校联盟2026～2027学年度上学期高三阶段性联考 英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：高考范围。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the woman do next?

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了新加坡儿童博物馆及其参观指南。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Children’s Museum Singapore, or CMSG for short, aims to cultivate (培养) a love for museums and lifelong learning in children and is guaranteed not to bore the littlest.(新加坡儿童博物馆，简称CMSG，旨在培养孩子们对博物馆和终身学习的兴趣，并保证不会让最小的孩子感到无聊)”可知，新加坡儿童博物馆的目的是激发儿童对博物馆和终身学习的热爱。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格Shophouses部分“Imagine what it was like in 19th century Singapore and explore busy shophouses, listen to the shopkeepers’ tales and have a go at heritage trades.(想象一下19世纪的新加坡是什么样子，探索热闹的商铺，聆听店主们的故事，并亲身体验传统手工艺)”可知，在Shophouses展馆，参观者可以体验新加坡传统行业。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Please read before visiting部分“Due to limited capacity, visitors are strongly encouraged to book tickets online ahead of time, or they may not be able to enter if the museum is full.(由于参观人数有限，建议游客提前在线预订门票，否则博物馆满员时可能无法入场)”可知，参观者需要提前购票。 B While the world is worried about rocketing energy prices, Feldheim, a small German village surrounded by wind power turbines, has been benefiting from its turn to climate-friendly renewables. “When it comes to keeping the lights on, what’s happening in the rest of the world doesn’t really interest us,”56-year-old Michael Knape, who served as Feldheim mayor for almost a quarter-century, told AFP. Like much of the eastern state of Brandenburg where it is located, Feldheim, with a population of 130, sits on a flat, windswept plain. It owns dozens of wind turbines that generate plenty of energy. Since one of them provides enough power for the whole village, excess energy is stored in batteries for use in periods with little wind, or sold to the network operators. As for heating, a biogas plant runs on leftover grain from an agricultural cooperative. On very cold evenings, the village gets a boost from a woodchip-fired plant. “We hope it always stays like this,” said Petra Richter, whose oil-powered boiler was replaced 15 years ago with pipes carrying communal hot water and a heat exchanger. “I just pay an average of 12 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity, less than half the price usually paid elsewhere in Germany.” According to Knape, the local government also saves several hundred thousand euros a year by doing without fossil fuels. Feldheim started its move towards clean renewables in the 1990s and by 2010 achieved its “energy self-sufficiency”. The small village has since attracted attention from across the world as an example of Germany’s decades-old energy transition project away from fossil fuels and nuclear power. “Feldheim has benefited from its unique local conditions and significant investments,” Knape admitted. “Obviously, I can’t compare this village with a big city. In the long term, Germany still has to think about new solutions.” 24. What can we say about Brandenburg? A. It is located in a very windy region. B. It has achieved its energy self-sufficiency. C. It is a village with a small population. D. It started investing in renewables long ago. 25. What is the woodchip-fired plant mainly used for in Feldheim? A. Lighting. B. Battery charging. C. Heating. D. Leftover grain recycling. 26. Which word can best describe the wind power project in Feldheim? A. Controversial. B. Unreliable. C. Inefficient. D. Profitable. 27. What does Michael Knape imply in the last paragraph? A. Projects in Feldheim cost a lot of money. B. Renewables aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. C. He is proud of his achievements in Feldheim. D. Feldheim should invest more in renewables. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了德国小村庄Feldheim的能源转型项目。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Like much of the eastern state of Brandenburg where it is located, Feldheim, with a population of 130, sits on a flat, windswept plain.(费尔德海姆拥有130人口，坐落在平坦而多风的平原上，就像它所在的德国东部勃兰登堡州的大部分地区一样。)”可知，Brandenburg位于一个风很大的地区。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As for heating, a biogas plant runs on leftover grain from an agricultural cooperative. On very cold evenings, the village gets a boost from a woodchip-fired plant.(供暖方面，沼气厂依靠农业合作社的剩余粮食运转。严寒夜晚，木屑燃烧供热站会额外补充供热。)”可知，这个木屑燃烧供热站是用来临时供热的。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Since one of them provides enough power for the whole village, excess energy is stored in batteries for use in periods with little wind, or sold to the network operators.(其中一座风力涡轮机发电量便可满足全村需求，多余电力存入电池，供无风时段使用，或是售卖给电网运营商。)”可知，多余电力可知售卖给电网运营商，说明这些风电项目是赚钱的。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Michael Knape的话“Feldheim has benefited from its unique local conditions and significant investments(费尔德海姆受益于其独特的地方条件和大量的投资)”和“Obviously, I can’t compare this village with a big city. In the long term, Germany still has to think about new solutions.(显然，我无法将这个村庄与大城市相比。从长远来看，德国仍然必须考虑新的解决方案。)”可推断，Michael Knape认为费尔德海姆对可再生能源的利用是个例，并不适合整个国家，他不认为可再生能源能解决所有问题。 C Everyone loves dolphins. They’re adorable and playful. They’re often called the geniuses of the ocean. But in a recent piece for New Scientist, Caroline Williams has begun to question that last assumption. “When it comes to brainpower, dolphins might not be as special as we might think,” Williams writes. “Studies do show that dolphins can understand symbols the way humans do, but so can sea lions, parrots, monkeys and more. Actually the sea lions learn them more quickly.” Williams also questions the so-called “mirror test”, which claims that dolphins can recognize themselves or have a sense of self. “But if you look at the data, they perform the same behavior when the mirror’s there and when it’s not,” she argues. The size of a dolphin’s brain — even larger than a chimpanzee’s — is often used as proof to its intelligence, but Williams says that is also not the case. “They do have big brains, but then again the relationship between size and intelligence is kind of a tricky one anyway,” she says. According to Williams, the image of dolphins as “peaceful, loving geniuses” can be traced back to Dr. John Lilly. Lilly thought dolphins were at least as intelligent as humans, and spent years trying to figure out a way to communicate with the creature. Lilly’s life and work were an inspiration for the 1973 science fiction film The Day of the Dolphin. George Scott plays a version of Lilly — a researcher who teaches dolphins to speak English. “As a result of his early work, dolphins did start to get more attention and more researchers started looking into their intelligence,” Williams explains. “If similar things had been said about sea lions back then, maybe they would have been given just as much study. So that’s been good and bad really. On the one hand, it means we do understand dolphins quite well because there’s been a lot of research on them. On the other hand, they may be unfairly elevated (抬高) above other species. Our study shows that they are on par with other species at the most.” 28. Which statement is Caroline Williams very unlikely to agree with? A. The mirror test is misleading. B. Sea lions may be smarter than dolphins. C. Dolphins are super intelligent. D. Intelligence is not determined by brain size. 29. What is George Scott? A. A writer. B. A scientist. C. A teacher. D. An actor. 30. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “on par with” in the last paragraph? A. As smart as. B. Aware of. C. Suitable for. D. Less sensitive than. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To review a movie. B. To introduce a new study. C. To make an argument. D. To expose false assumptions. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一篇新研究观点，质疑海豚超高智商的固有认知，从学习能力、镜像测试、脑容量等角度展开分析，并说明海豚高智商印象的由来与客观真实智力水平。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段““When it comes to brainpower, dolphins might not be as special as we might think,” Williams writes.(Williams写道：“谈及智力水平，海豚或许并没有我们想象中那般出众。”)” 可知，Williams并不认同海豚智商超群的说法。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“George Scott plays a version of Lilly — a researcher who teaches dolphins to speak English.(George Scott饰演了一名效仿Lilly的研究员，该角色负责教导海豚说英语。)”可知，George Scott是一名演员。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文最后一段“On the other hand, they may be unfairly elevated above other species.(另一方面，海豚的智商或许被不合理地凌驾于其他物种之上。)” 可知，海豚智力最多和其他物种不相上下，on par with表示“和……一样聪明”。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone loves dolphins. They’re adorable and playful. They’re often called the geniuses of the ocean. But in a recent piece for New Scientist, Caroline Williams has begun to question that last assumption.(人人都喜爱海豚。它们模样可爱、生性活泼，常被称作海洋中的天才。但Caroline Williams在《新科学家》杂志近期发文，开始质疑这一固有看法。)”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍一篇新研究观点，质疑海豚超高智商的固有认知，从学习能力、镜像测试、脑容量等角度展开分析，旨在介绍这项全新研究。 D If we build settlements on Mars, how will we feed ourselves? Relying on deliveries from Earth would take too long and costs would be too high, since getting to the Red Planet is currently a nine-month one-way journey. On top of that, processed foodstuff lacks vital nutrients. Building upon their past research, scientists at Wageningen University in the Netherlands are now exploring how to use a technique perfected by Maya farmers centuries ago to increase crop production on Mars. The method, named intercropping, involves growing multiple kinds of plants together in greenhouses that reproduced conditions that could eventually be found on Mars. Inside the greenhouses, the researchers filled pots with a mixture of rocks, dust and sand, known as regolith, that is similar to Martian soil. Separately, they also filled some pots with standard potting soil and some with river sand. They added a small amount of organic soil to both the regolith and river sand pots to help root growth. Then, they planted peas, carrots and tomatoes in each of the different soil types, both on their own (a practice known as “monocropping”) and together (intercropping). Their past research had shown that these three crops could grow in Martian regolith, which allowed the team to focus specifically on their questions about intercropping. Peas, carrots and tomatoes are also promising Mars crops because they are high in vitamin C and other nutrients that are typically reduced or destroyed during processing. After 105 days, they harvested their crops and calculated the yield and nutritional value of each plant. Their results were a bit mixed. In the Martian regolith, tomatoes grew much better when planted alongside carrots and peas. The carrots, meanwhile, had a lower yield in intercropping compared to monocropping. The peas fared similarly under both conditions. “The tomato did profit from the peas, but the carrot most certainly did not,” says study co-author Wieger Wamelink. “This was probably due to lack of light. The tall tomato and pea plants did out-compete the carrot by taking light from it.” 32. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The choice of the crops. B. The preparation of the soil. C. The definition of regolith. D. The making of Martian soil. 33. What did the researchers do in their previous experiment? A. They invented two new cropping methods. B. They concentrated on increasing production. C. They tried to preserve the nutrients in the crops. D. They tested if the plants could survive in regolith. 34. What did the researchers find in the current experiment? A. Carrots grew much faster than peas. B. Monocropping worked better for peas. C. Only tomatoes benefited from intercropping. D. Tomatoes and carrots were the best combination. 35. How do the researchers most probably feel about planting the crops on Mars? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Uninterested. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了混合种植对西红柿，豆角及胡萝卜产量的影响。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Inside the greenhouses, the researchers filled pots with a mixture of rocks, dust and sand, known as regolith, that is similar to Martian soil. Separately, they also filled some pots with standard potting soil and some with river sand. They added a small amount of organic soil to both the regolith and river sand pots to help root growth.(在温室里，研究人员将岩石、尘土和沙子（这种物质被称为“风化层”，与火星土壤类似）混合在一起装入花盆中。同时，他们还分别在一些花盆中填充了标准的盆栽土和河沙。他们还向风化层和河沙的花盆中各添加了一小部分有机土壤，以促进根系生长)”可知，本段主要是介绍如何配制实验土壤。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Their past research had shown that these three crops could grow in Martian regolith, which allowed the team to focus specifically on their questions about intercropping.(他们此前的研究表明，这三种作物能够在火星的土壤中生长，这使得研究团队能够专门针对间作的相关问题展开研究)”可知，这些科研人员已经确认了这三种作物能在火星土壤中存活。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In the Martian regolith, tomatoes grew much better when planted alongside carrots and peas.(在火星风化层土壤环境中，与胡萝卜、豆角间作套种时，番茄长势要好得多)”以及最后一段“The tomato did profit from the peas, but the carrot most certainly did not(番茄能得益于豆角套种，胡萝卜却完全没能从中获益)”可知，西红柿最适合混合种植。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Their past research had shown that these three crops could grow in Martian regolith, which allowed the team to focus specifically on their questions about intercropping. (他们此前的研究表明，这三种作物能够在火星的土壤中生长，这使得研究团队能够专门针对间作的相关问题展开研究)”及这次的实验结果可推断，科研人员应该很有信心在火星上种植这些作物：他们已经确认了这些作物能在火星土壤中成长，现在他们又找到了提高产量的方法。 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。 The concept of so-called “biorhythms”, or periods of 23, 28, and 33 days is all over social media. ___36___. But it’s essentially nonsense. The idea behind so-called “biorhythms” is that over the course of month-long periods, your physical, emotional, and intellectual states are up and down, so you should adjust your personal schedule and act when each of them is at the top of one of its cycles. This thinking dictates (使人相信) that you are productive only on certain days in a month and it gives you permission to relax when you perceive yourself to be on the low end of these so-called rhythms. ___37___: If you’re patiently waiting for a biorhythm to peak, your responsibilities and tasks can add up, which will leave you with a bunch of stuff to do — and much of it, left alone for so long, will likely become urgent. Scientists have looked into this and proven it wrong, but the enduring belief in this phenomenon has led to some money grabs when some people try to sell you products that seemingly can help you control your own biorhythms to maximize your energy, productivity, and happiness. Now, you might have heard of circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) and assumed biorhythms are roughly the same thing. ___38___. According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark. There’s a whole science behind it, which amounts to this: ___39___, since your body sleeps at night, and you will be awake in daylight to get stuff done, ideally feeling alert. ___40___. You’ll be more productive if you get consistent and good sleep. You don’t need to track peaks or subscribe to apps to master this. Instead, focus on getting quality sleep and maximizing what you are doing during those precious daylight hours. A. The problem is obvious B. In fact, they’re quite different C. You get tired when it gets dark D. You should take a break when you feel tired E. You might think there’s some science behind it F. So-called “biorhythms” aren’t real, but circadian rhythms are G. There are, however, other ways to track your peaks in productivity 【答案】36. E 37. A 38. B 39. C 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了所谓的“生物节律”并不真实存在，而昼夜节律才是科学上认可的生理现象，并建议人们关注昼夜节律以提升生产力。 【36题详解】 由上文“The concept of so-called “biorhythms”, or periods of 23, 28, and 33 days is all over social media.(所谓的“生物节律”的概念，即23天、28天和33天的周期，在社交媒体上随处可见。)”及下文“But it’s essentially nonsense.(但这本质上是无稽之谈。)”可知，上文说明了“生物节律”的概念在社交媒体上广泛传播，下文指出这一概念本质上是无稽之谈，本空应说明人们可能认为这一概念背后有科学依据。E选项“You might think there’s some science behind it.(你可能会认为这背后有一些科学依据)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 由上文“This thinking dictates (使人相信) that you are productive only on certain days in a month and it gives you permission to relax when you perceive yourself to be on the low end of these so-called rhythms.(这种想法使人相信，你一个月中只有某些天是高效的，并且当你觉得自己处于这些所谓节奏的低谷时，它允许你放松。)”及下文“If you’re patiently waiting for a biorhythm to peak, your responsibilities and tasks can add up, which will leave you with a bunch of stuff to do — and much of it, left alone for so long, will likely become urgent.(如果你耐心地等待生物节律达到高峰，你的责任和任务会不断增加，这会让你有一堆事情要做——而且其中很多事情，如果长时间搁置不管，很可能会变得紧急。)”可知，上文说明了“生物节律”理论允许人们在低谷时放松，下文指出这种等待会导致任务堆积并变得紧急，本空应说明这种做法的问题所在。A选项“The problem is obvious.(问题显而易见)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选A。 【38题详解】 由上文“Now, you might have heard of circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) and assumed biorhythms are roughly the same thing.(现在，你可能听说过昼夜节律，并认为生物节律大致是同一回事。)”及下文“According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark.(根据国家普通医学研究所的说法，昼夜节律是沿着一天周期流动的生理、心理和行为变化，它们受光明和黑暗的影响。)”可知，上文说明了人们可能认为“生物节律”和“昼夜节律”是同一回事，下文对“昼夜节律”进行了科学解释，本空应说明两者实际上并不相同。B选项“In fact, they’re quite different.(事实上，它们相当不同)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 【39题详解】 由上文“According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark. There’s a whole science behind it, which amounts to this:(根据美国国家普通医学科学研究所的说法，昼夜节律是沿着一天的周期流动的身体、心理和行为变化，它们受到光和暗的影响。这背后有一个完整的科学，相当于：)”及下文“since your body sleeps at night, and you will be awake in daylight to get stuff done, ideally feeling alert.(因为你的身体在晚上睡觉，你会在白天醒来完成事情，理想情况下会感到警觉。)”可知，上文说明了昼夜节律背后有科学依据，下文解释了这种节律如何影响人们的睡眠和清醒状态，本空应说明这种节律与黑暗的关系。C选项“You get tired when it gets dark(天黑时你会感到疲倦)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【40题详解】 由下文“You’ll be more productive if you get consistent and good sleep. You don’t need to track peaks or subscribe to apps to master this. Instead, focus on getting quality sleep and maximizing what you are doing during those precious daylight hours.(如果你得到持续且良好的睡眠，你会更有效率。你不需要追踪高峰或订阅应用程序来掌握这一点。相反，专注于获得高质量的睡眠，并充分利用那些宝贵的白天时间。)”可知，本段总结全文，否定生物节律的作用，强调昼夜节律相关的睡眠的重要性，本空应起到总领全段的作用。F选项“So-called “biorhythms” aren’t real, but circadian rhythms are(所谓的“生物节律”并不真实，但昼夜节律是真实的)”能够概括本段核心观点，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jane August launched what seemed like a straightforward plan: She would visit every museum in New York City and ____41____ a short video of each one. She ____42____ it would take three years at most. But with 136 museums documented since 2021, she still has about 64 to go. And with ____43____ museums opening and some old ones changing so ____44____ that they deserve a revisit, the 26-year-old now says she’s realistically aiming to complete the project before she’s 30. “At first, I started the project to get myself out of my house and experience the ____45____ in the city,” says August. “I wasn’t a big museum fan before starting the project, and had only been to around seven by the time.” But as she began, the plan quickly ____46____. “I decided that TikTok would be a(n) ____47____ way to document this project so my friends could keep up with my ____48____ and maybe discover something new,” continues August. “But my audience has since ____49____ to more than 40,000 across social platforms.” She thinks that this project is especially ____50____ for the lesser-known museums that don’t often get press or social media coverage. “There are some small museums that get a huge ____51____ in attendance and press after I have posted my videos. So it’s ____52____ to be able to play a small role in that success,” she adds. “As for my motivation to continue the project, it ____53____ the people. I want to connect with fascinating and ____54____ people who are making these museums what they are, and I get to connect with enthusiasts who want to find something ____55____ to do with their weekend.” 41.

Everything felt strange: unfamiliar streets, empty playgrounds, and new neighbours. He missed his old friends and often sat by the window, staring at the quiet yard. “Nobody here even knows my name,” he whispered. One afternoon, a sudden storm caught Charles on his way home from school. He ran and hid at a bus stop, wet and cold. An old man noticed him and handed him an umbrella. “Take it, boy, or you’ll catch a cold,” he said kindly. “I know you just moved next door. I saw you walking towards our street.” Charles was deeply touched by his kindness. The next day, Charles went to return the umbrella. The old man, Grandpa Wilson, showed him the small backyard, where a wooden box of old books sat under the tree. Charles noticed a worn photo of smiling children. “That was my class,” Grandpa Wilson said softly. “I used to tell them stories in this backyard.” Charles gradually opened his heart. “I miss my old friends. I feel like a stranger here.” Grandpa Wilson listened patiently and smiled, “Everyone was a stranger once. A seed needs time to take root.” For the first time in weeks, Charles laughed. As they talked on, however, a worried look returned to Charles’s face. “Our school will hold a Storytelling Day next week. I have to tell a story in front of the class, but I don’t have the courage, and I have no friends to discuss it with,” he admitted. Grandpa Wilson understood his trouble at once. He was silent for a moment, and then a warm smile spread across his face. “You have me, Charles. Come to my backyard tomorrow evening — I have something for you.” 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。 The next evening, Charles went to Grandpa Wilson’s backyard with curiosity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Days later, on the Storytelling Day, Charles’s heart was beating fast but his steps were steady. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next evening, Charles went to Grandpa Wilson’s backyard with curiosity. Grandpa Wilson was waiting by the wooden box under the tree. He handed Charles a storybook, saying, “Pick one you love, and I will be your first audience.” Charles chose a story about a shy boy planting a seed. Sitting on the backyard bench, the old man changed Charles’s voice for every character. His warm smile urged Charles on whenever he wanted to give up. By the end of the evening, Charles could tell the story fluently without the book. Days later, on the Storytelling Day, Charles’s heart was beating fast but his steps were steady. Onstage, he took a deep breath and began his story. His voice grew stronger, and the whole class laughed and clapped warmly. After class, several classmates crowded around him, shouting his name cheerfully as if he were a shining star. After school, he ran straight to the backyard and hugged Grandpa Wilson tightly. For the first time, Charles felt he truly belonged here — a seed had finally taken root in this new home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。十岁的查尔斯随父母搬到新小区，周遭一切都很陌生，觉得自己像个外人。一天放学路上他偶遇暴雨，隔壁威尔逊爷爷给了他一把雨伞。查尔斯前去还伞时和爷爷谈心，倾诉自己的孤单，后来查尔斯又说起下周学校故事日，自己没有勇气上台讲故事，也没有朋友商量，威尔逊爷爷听完，让他第二天傍晚来后院，说有东西给他。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可以描写爷爷陪查尔斯挑选故事、陪着他反复练习讲故事，查尔斯在爷爷鼓励下心态发生变化。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可以描写查尔斯上台讲故事的表现、同学们的反应，下台后同学主动和他交好，放学后他跑去和爷爷分享喜悦，最后点明主旨：善意陪伴让种子生根，让他找到了归属感。 2.续写线索：好奇赴约 —— 爷爷陪伴练习 —— 故事日登台讲述 —— 收获同学喜爱 —— 奔向爷爷致谢 —— 内心找到归属感 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./pass sb. sth./give sb. sth. ②挑选：pick/choose/select 情绪类 ①热烈地：warmly/enthusiastically ②喜悦地：cheerfully/joyfully/happily 【点睛】【高分句型1】He handed Charles a storybook, saying, “Pick one you love, and I will be your first audience.” (运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】After class, several classmates crowded around him, shouting his name cheerfully as if he were a shining star.
