Tring, Hertfordshire The main attraction of the market town of Tring, which sits on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, is the Natural History Museum. Housing a remarkable collection of Lionel Walter Rothschild’s animal specimens (标本) of the Victorian era (时代), including birds, insects and fish, it’s free for visitors. Bournemouth, Dorset This large seaside town is a popular coastal destination in southern England. Perfect for outdoorsy types, the Blue Flag beaches are a big draw, and swimming, surfing and paddleboarding are easy ways to while away a day. Make time to visit the 150-acre nature reserve, Hengistbury Head. It’s home to over 500 plant species, around 300 types of birds and a diverse habitat for small mammals, insects and reptiles. Guildford, Surrey History lovers should head straight for the Guildford castle, thought to have been built after the Norman invasion of England in 1066. You can access the Castle Keep from April to October(opening times may vary slightly by year due to maintenance or events), while the beautiful gardens are open daily until sunset. Climb to the top of the Great Tower for 360-degree views of the Surrey countryside. Cirencester, Gloucestershire Cirencester is not only surrounded by rolling countryside but is also rich in Roman history. Highlights include the Corinium Museum, which features one of the best Roman collections in the country. There’s easy access to walking trails and it’s just a 40-minute bus journey on the number 51 to the Cotswold Lakes wetland landscape, which will appeal to nature-lovers. 21．What can visitors do in Bournemouth? A．Enjoy swimming and surfing. B．Visit the Corinium Museum. C．Explore the Castle Keep of the Norman castle. D．Appreciate the animal specimens from the Victorian era. 22．Where will you go if you want to admire Roman history and wetland scenery? A．Tring. B．Bournemouth. C．Guildford. D．Cirencester. 23．What is the purpose of the text? A．To introduce some unique places in the UK. B．To get more people to fall in love with travelling. C．To advise people to travel with their family more often. D．To promote some local activities in the UK for travelers. B Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.” This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.” Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment. “Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion. Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood. 24．What inspires Alia Bhatt to engage in saving animals and the environment? A．A desire to seek fame. B．Pressure from her family. C．The goal of becoming an expert. D．A passion from her childhood. 25．How does Alia Bhatt practically contribute to public welfare? A．Keeping stray animals at home. B．Launching a new clothing brand. C．Producing related movies and books. D．Reducing entertainment activities. 26．Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text? A．Careful and ambitious. B．Devoted and compassionate. C．Humorous and diligent. D．Innovative and generous. 27．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Celebrities should take on more social responsibilities. B．Minor good deeds can have a huge impact. C．Media raises public awareness of social problems. D．Childhood experiences shape lifelong behaviors. C In the past thirty years, bee numbers in the United Kingdom have fallen by nearly a third. The main reasons are climate change and the loss of natural habitats. These changes make it hard for bees to find enough pollen (花粉) and nectar (花蜜). Pollen is important because it gives bees proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Without these nutrients, bees cannot stay healthy. Beekeepers sometimes give bees extra food, but these supplements lack all the nutrients bees need. As a result, the lack of good food has become a serious problem for honeybees. To solve this, scientists led by Professor Geraldine Wright from the University of Oxford worked to design better food. The challenge was that bees need special nutrients called sterols, which are not easy to make. The team studied which sterols bees need, and then found a way to produce them. They created a type of yeast (酵母) that can make all six sterols. The next step was to prepare the food in a form bees would accept. Since bees are fussy eaters who turn their noses up at unsuitable food, the team made a soft “cookie dough” mixture with bee-friendly ingredients. The scientists tested the new food in glasshouses. The results were impressive. Colonies that ate the food produced up to fifteen times more young bees than colonies that did not. These young bees also grew into healthy adults. The bees with the new diet lived longer, cared for their young better, and were stronger against diseases. This showed the food could greatly improve bee growth and survival. Wright called it “a huge breakthrough for the species.” The study has important significance for both bees and people. With this new food, bees will not need to fight so much for wildflowers. This can help bee populations recover and become stronger. Since bees are key pollinators (授粉者) for many crops, protecting them also helps protect human food supplies. If the food is used on a larger scale, it could be a big step toward saving bees and supporting global food security. 28．What can we learn about bee supplements from paragraph 1? A．They are made from natural pollen and nectar. B．They contain all the nutrients bees need. C．They cannot fully replace natural food sources. D．They help solve the healthy problem of bees. 29．What does the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Quiet. B．Picky. C．Big. D．Fast. 30．What does the glasshouse test suggest about the new food? A．It suits bees’ tastes better. B．It makes young bees grow faster. C．It works best in a controlled environment. D．It boosts bees’ population and well-being. 31．What is the potential significance of the study? A．It encourages people to keep bees. B．It helps safeguard human food sources. C．It indicates environmental health condition. D．It removes bees’ dependence on wildflowers. D As nations rush to adopt renewable energy, a significant conflict has arisen: the need for land to construct large solar farms often destroys forests, which are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This paradox (悖论), where a climate solution contributes to another environmental problem, is particularly severe in thickly populated countries. In South Korea, for instance, thousands of hectares of forest have been cleared for solar panel installations (安装), erasing vital carbon sinks, causing soil loss, and destroying natural habitats for wildlife. This trade-off between clean energy and ecosystem preservation poses a serious challenge to achieving global climate goals. A promising solution may come in the form of “solar trees”, a creative technology designed to copy the shape of a real tree. As detailed in a new study published in Scientific Reports, these structures feature solar panels arranged in a manner similar to branches and leaves in tree top. This design enables them to generate electricity while casting minimal shade, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and permitting underlying plants and ecosystems to continue growing well. Unlike vast ground-mounted solar farms that require the clear-cutting of land, solar trees can be integrated directly into existing forests, offering a way to produce power while preserving nature. In a first-of-its-kind analysis, researcher Dan-Bi Um used 3D computer simulations (模拟) to model a sweeping installation of solar trees in a coastal forest in Goseong County, South Korea, and compared it to a real-world solar farm already there. The results were striking — the conventional flat-panel installation required clearing 98 percent of the forest. In contrast, Um’s simulation showed that arranging solar trees in a row along existing roads preserved 99 percent of the forest cover. The study demonstrates that this preservation does not have to come at the expense of power. The simulation found that just 63 high-efficiency solar trees could produce the same 1 megawatt of power as the land-intensive flat-panel farm. By offering a solution to energy needs and environmental conservation, solar trees represent a strategic path forward for countries aiming to meet ambitious climate targets without losing their invaluable forests. 32．What dilemma does the author mention in the first paragraph? A．Wildlife habitats are threatened by soil loss. B．Renewable energy adoption leads to forest destruction. C．Solar farms fail to absorb carbon dioxide effectively. D．Thickly populated countries lack enough land for development. 33．Why do researchers design solar trees like real trees? A．To simplify installation in roads. B．To make them more appealing in the woods. C．To decrease the shade on the ground. D．To help them absorb more carbon dioxide. 34．What can we infer about conventional ground-mounted solar farms? A．They are mainly built along coastal areas. B．They need to clear most of the trees where they were installed. C．They produce less power per panel than solar trees. D．They generate electricity that is easy to store and transport. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Solar Trees: Preserving Forests While Generating Power B．Solar Technology: Advancement in South Korea C．Renewable Energy: Advantages and Disadvantages D．Forest Destruction Caused by Solar Farms 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。 Dogs, more so than almost any other domestic pets, are desperate for human eye contact. 36 And according to a study that pull at the heartstrings might be exactly why dogs can give us those looks at all. 37 Studying the two animals is a bit like breaking open a four-legged time capsule. A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that dogs’ faces are structured for complex expressions in a way that wolves aren’t. For the study, a team looked at two muscles (the RAOL and LAOM muscles) that work together to widen and open a dog’s eyes, causing them to appear bigger and more lovely, which we read as distinctly humanlike. The muscles form two short, straight lines, which connect the ring of muscle around a dog’s eye to either end of the brow above. 38 Therefore, they concluded that the origin of these complex facial expressions is after dogs splitting from wolves. Research has also shown that when dogs work these muscles, humans respond more positively. This isn’t simply a coincidental love story, in which the eyes of two species just happen to meet across a crowded planet. 39 For a species to change quickly, a pretty powerful force must be acting on it. 40 We connect more deeply with animals capable of making humanlike facial movements, so dogs have evolved to look like our own human babies to be selected for adoption. A．Dogs are very similar to wolves. B．And that is where humans come in. C．It’s hard for most people to resist the shining eyes of a little dog. D．Dogs split off from their gray wolf relatives as many as 33,000 years ago. E．But in the four gray wolves the researchers looked at, neither muscle was present. F．Just like other best partnerships, this one is more likely the result of years of evolution. G．Researchers have long been interested in the ways dogs make eye contact with humans. 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。 Casper is a great horned owl living at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. It has become a(n) 41 at the center after fostering (照料) more than 500 rescued owlets since 1999. Casper first arrived at the center after suffering 42 . Soon the team discovered she had a very special 43 : she was a natural foster mom. Since then, she has helped generations of rescued baby owls, teaching the skills they are 44 in need of after they return to nature. Right now, she’s 45 four more owlets (猫头鹰幼崽). The young owls learn by watching her fly, hunt, and 46 the world around them. “They look up to her, they follow her, they 47 her,” said Rob Hope, manager of the society. Casper teaches important behaviors like 48 prey (猎物) and staying cautious of humans. Such are 49 that can make a big difference once the birds are 50 into the wild. “That’s what we want so that when those babies are in the wild, they’ve got a good chance of 51 ,” he said. Over the 26 years, Casper has become far more than a rescue animal. She’s been a trusted teacher, protector, and 52 mother to hundreds of 53 baby owls who otherwise might not have survived. Honestly, it’s impossible not to 54 the unsung hero. One injured owl who couldn’t return to the wild ended up 55 her life to helping hundreds of others get there instead. 41．A．witness B．nurse C．legend D．expert 42．A．injuries B．threats C．losses D．blows 43．A．habit B．demand C．family D．gift 44．A．freely B．slightly C．badly D．lately 45．A．hatching B．tending C．observing D．testing 46．A．care about B．take over C．dig into D．react to 47．A．hug B．imitate C．doubt D．value 48．A．catching B．burying C．selecting D．tricking 49．A．games B．references C．lessons D．honors 50．A．driven B．packed C．admitted D．released 51．A．evolution B．migration C．success D．survival 52．A．adoptive B．punctual C．reasonable D．biological 53．A．naughty B．weak C．anxious D．independent 54．A．comfort B．remind C．appreciate D．overlook 55．A．dedicating B．limiting C．sacrificing D．abandoning 第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For thousands of years, Chinese people have looked up at the stars and longed intensely 56 the mysterious infinite universe. Our ancestors recorded countless star-watching stories across dynasties, thus 57 (create) inspiring cultural phenomena recorded in ancient poems and professional observatories. Only by observing astronomical laws diligently 58 our ancestors manage to accumulate reliable data for accurate seasonal judgment. The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, standing in Guizhou’s remote mountainous areas, is far more powerful when 59 (compare) with ordinary astronomical devices. It is capable of capturing 60 extremely faint cosmic (宇宙的) signal that no ordinary ground device can detect. FAST supports in-depth research on the Big Bang theory, 61 describes the origin of space billions of years ago. Scientists are striving to offer a convincing 62 (explain) of the formation and long-term evolution of the universe, which makes it possible 63 (grasp) the complex evolution rules of remote galaxies. Space achievements are never limited to ground equipment. Beyond powerful ground telescopes, China has accomplished a series of demanding aerospace missions: Chang’e rovers explored the lunar surface, Tianwen probed Mars, and the Tiangong capsule 64 (steady) orbits Earth all year round. It is the researchers’ persistent efforts that have led to 65 (sustain) breakthroughs in deep-space exploration, which can support continuous space research in the next decades. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．当今，绿色生活已日益成为人们的共识。你校英文报正在开展以“Green Life at Home”为题的征文活动。请你用英语写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1、绿色生活的重要性； 2、你的做法； 3、你的倡议。 注意：(1)写作词数应为 80 个左右。 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Green Life at Home ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Last summer vacation, I set off on a wonderful road trip to a quiet coastal town with my grandma, a big fan of stage performances and environmental protection. Before we hit the road, she showed me a short video introducing a new Beijing Opera adapted from the world-famous play Hamlet. She told me that traditional stage art could transform boring environmental knowledge into lively stories, which would have a deep impact on ordinary people’s minds. During our drive, we passed green hills, clear rivers and endless blue sea. Grandma shared shocking facts with me: many people feared sharks only because of the old film Jaws. Yet they knew little that countless sharks lost their lives every year because of plastic pollution and shark fin hunting. One warm afternoon, we wandered along the quiet sandy beach after lunch. Suddenly, a weak splash caught our attention. We walked closer and spotted a young shark tightly trapped in abandoned plastic fishing nets. It struggled painfully in shallow water, one fin badly wounded, and pieces of plastic rubbish wrapped around its whole body. My heart sank the moment I saw its helpless eyes. Grandma sighed and reminded me that human activity was destroying ocean balance day by day. I was determined to save the poor creature right away, but we carried no sharp tools to cut the strong nets. We looked around the empty shore anxiously, not knowing who we could turn to for help. Just at that moment, a group of local teenagers carrying piles of environmental leaflets walked towards us. Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第二册英语单元自测 Unit 6 Survival·单元自测卷 建议用时120分钟，满分150分 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B B A A B A B C C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A B A C B A B C A C 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 A D A D C B D C B D 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 B B C B A C D E F B 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 C A D C B D B A C D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 D A B C A 56．for 57．creating 58．did 59．compared 60．an 61．which 62．explanation 63．to grasp 64．steadily 65．sustained/sustainable 66．参考答案： Green Life at Home     Green living is essential for saving resources and reducing pollution. It helps protect the environment and creates a healthier future for all.     At home, I always turn off lights and electronics when they are not in use. I take short showers to save water, sort waste carefully, and reuse plastic bags whenever possible. Instead of travelling by car, I prefer walking or taking public transport.     Small actions do make a difference. Let’s develop green habits and encourage those who live around us to do the same. Together, we can build a cleaner and greener world. 67．Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. One boy took a pair of safe scissors out of his environmental bag, while the rest knelt down and held the shark gently to calm it down. We cooperated patiently, carefully cutting every layer of plastic net around its body. Admiring its shiny silver skin, I truly understood that movies like Jaws had a terrible impact on public attitudes toward sharks, making most people ignore their endangered situation. After we set it free, the shark waved its tail and swam slowly toward the deep ocean. The teens said they handed out leaflets every weekend, and their protection activities were based on real survey data of local sea wildlife. Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. Grandma created a short Beijing Opera play transformed into a warm story of shark protection, which was filled with vivid lines about ocean balance. Lots of passing tourists stopped to watch and gladly took our leaflets. We fully took people’s misunderstanding of sharks into account and patiently explained why sharks mattered to the sea. This unforgettable road trip completely changed my opinion: stage art and travel could work together to spread green ideas. I promised to keep telling such meaningful stories and stick to eco-friendly habits in daily life. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第二册英语单元自测 Unit 6 Survival·单元自测卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分1.5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．What will Susan do today?

B Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.” This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.” Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment. “Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion. Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood. 24．What inspires Alia Bhatt to engage in saving animals and the environment? A．A desire to seek fame. B．Pressure from her family. C．The goal of becoming an expert. D．A passion from her childhood. 25．How does Alia Bhatt practically contribute to public welfare? A．Keeping stray animals at home. B．Launching a new clothing brand. C．Producing related movies and books. D．Reducing entertainment activities. 26．Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text? A．Careful and ambitious. B．Devoted and compassionate. C．Humorous and diligent. D．Innovative and generous. 27．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Celebrities should take on more social responsibilities. B．Minor good deeds can have a huge impact. C．Media raises public awareness of social problems. D．Childhood experiences shape lifelong behaviors. C In the past thirty years, bee numbers in the United Kingdom have fallen by nearly a third. The main reasons are climate change and the loss of natural habitats. These changes make it hard for bees to find enough pollen (花粉) and nectar (花蜜). Pollen is important because it gives bees proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Without these nutrients, bees cannot stay healthy. Beekeepers sometimes give bees extra food, but these supplements lack all the nutrients bees need. As a result, the lack of good food has become a serious problem for honeybees. To solve this, scientists led by Professor Geraldine Wright from the University of Oxford worked to design better food. The challenge was that bees need special nutrients called sterols, which are not easy to make. The team studied which sterols bees need, and then found a way to produce them. They created a type of yeast (酵母) that can make all six sterols. The next step was to prepare the food in a form bees would accept. Since bees are fussy eaters who turn their noses up at unsuitable food, the team made a soft “cookie dough” mixture with bee-friendly ingredients. The scientists tested the new food in glasshouses. The results were impressive. Colonies that ate the food produced up to fifteen times more young bees than colonies that did not. These young bees also grew into healthy adults. The bees with the new diet lived longer, cared for their young better, and were stronger against diseases. This showed the food could greatly improve bee growth and survival. Wright called it “a huge breakthrough for the species.” The study has important significance for both bees and people. With this new food, bees will not need to fight so much for wildflowers. This can help bee populations recover and become stronger. Since bees are key pollinators (授粉者) for many crops, protecting them also helps protect human food supplies. If the food is used on a larger scale, it could be a big step toward saving bees and supporting global food security. 28．What can we learn about bee supplements from paragraph 1? A．They are made from natural pollen and nectar. B．They contain all the nutrients bees need. C．They cannot fully replace natural food sources. D．They help solve the healthy problem of bees. 29．What does the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Quiet. B．Picky. C．Big. D．Fast. 30．What does the glasshouse test suggest about the new food? A．It suits bees’ tastes better. B．It makes young bees grow faster. C．It works best in a controlled environment. D．It boosts bees’ population and well-being. 31．What is the potential significance of the study? A．It encourages people to keep bees. B．It helps safeguard human food sources. C．It indicates environmental health condition. D．It removes bees’ dependence on wildflowers. D As nations rush to adopt renewable energy, a significant conflict has arisen: the need for land to construct large solar farms often destroys forests, which are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This paradox (悖论), where a climate solution contributes to another environmental problem, is particularly severe in thickly populated countries. In South Korea, for instance, thousands of hectares of forest have been cleared for solar panel installations (安装), erasing vital carbon sinks, causing soil loss, and destroying natural habitats for wildlife. This trade-off between clean energy and ecosystem preservation poses a serious challenge to achieving global climate goals. A promising solution may come in the form of “solar trees”, a creative technology designed to copy the shape of a real tree. As detailed in a new study published in Scientific Reports, these structures feature solar panels arranged in a manner similar to branches and leaves in tree top. This design enables them to generate electricity while casting minimal shade, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and permitting underlying plants and ecosystems to continue growing well. Unlike vast ground-mounted solar farms that require the clear-cutting of land, solar trees can be integrated directly into existing forests, offering a way to produce power while preserving nature. In a first-of-its-kind analysis, researcher Dan-Bi Um used 3D computer simulations (模拟) to model a sweeping installation of solar trees in a coastal forest in Goseong County, South Korea, and compared it to a real-world solar farm already there. The results were striking — the conventional flat-panel installation required clearing 98 percent of the forest. In contrast, Um’s simulation showed that arranging solar trees in a row along existing roads preserved 99 percent of the forest cover. The study demonstrates that this preservation does not have to come at the expense of power. The simulation found that just 63 high-efficiency solar trees could produce the same 1 megawatt of power as the land-intensive flat-panel farm. By offering a solution to energy needs and environmental conservation, solar trees represent a strategic path forward for countries aiming to meet ambitious climate targets without losing their invaluable forests. 32．What dilemma does the author mention in the first paragraph? A．Wildlife habitats are threatened by soil loss. B．Renewable energy adoption leads to forest destruction. C．Solar farms fail to absorb carbon dioxide effectively. D．Thickly populated countries lack enough land for development. 33．Why do researchers design solar trees like real trees? A．To simplify installation in roads. B．To make them more appealing in the woods. C．To decrease the shade on the ground. D．To help them absorb more carbon dioxide. 34．What can we infer about conventional ground-mounted solar farms? A．They are mainly built along coastal areas. B．They need to clear most of the trees where they were installed. C．They produce less power per panel than solar trees. D．They generate electricity that is easy to store and transport. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Solar Trees: Preserving Forests While Generating Power B．Solar Technology: Advancement in South Korea C．Renewable Energy: Advantages and Disadvantages D．Forest Destruction Caused by Solar Farms 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。 Dogs, more so than almost any other domestic pets, are desperate for human eye contact. 36 And according to a study that pull at the heartstrings might be exactly why dogs can give us those looks at all. 37 Studying the two animals is a bit like breaking open a four-legged time capsule. A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that dogs’ faces are structured for complex expressions in a way that wolves aren’t. For the study, a team looked at two muscles (the RAOL and LAOM muscles) that work together to widen and open a dog’s eyes, causing them to appear bigger and more lovely, which we read as distinctly humanlike. The muscles form two short, straight lines, which connect the ring of muscle around a dog’s eye to either end of the brow above. 38 Therefore, they concluded that the origin of these complex facial expressions is after dogs splitting from wolves. Research has also shown that when dogs work these muscles, humans respond more positively. This isn’t simply a coincidental love story, in which the eyes of two species just happen to meet across a crowded planet. 39 For a species to change quickly, a pretty powerful force must be acting on it. 40 We connect more deeply with animals capable of making humanlike facial movements, so dogs have evolved to look like our own human babies to be selected for adoption. A．Dogs are very similar to wolves. B．And that is where humans come in. C．It’s hard for most people to resist the shining eyes of a little dog. D．Dogs split off from their gray wolf relatives as many as 33,000 years ago. E．But in the four gray wolves the researchers looked at, neither muscle was present. F．Just like other best partnerships, this one is more likely the result of years of evolution. G．Researchers have long been interested in the ways dogs make eye contact with humans. 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。 Casper is a great horned owl living at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. It has become a(n) 41 at the center after fostering (照料) more than 500 rescued owlets since 1999. Casper first arrived at the center after suffering 42 . Soon the team discovered she had a very special 43 : she was a natural foster mom. Since then, she has helped generations of rescued baby owls, teaching the skills they are 44 in need of after they return to nature. Right now, she’s 45 four more owlets (猫头鹰幼崽). The young owls learn by watching her fly, hunt, and 46 the world around them. “They look up to her, they follow her, they 47 her,” said Rob Hope, manager of the society. Casper teaches important behaviors like 48 prey (猎物) and staying cautious of humans. Such are 49 that can make a big difference once the birds are 50 into the wild. “That’s what we want so that when those babies are in the wild, they’ve got a good chance of 51 ,” he said. Over the 26 years, Casper has become far more than a rescue animal. She’s been a trusted teacher, protector, and 52 mother to hundreds of 53 baby owls who otherwise might not have survived. Honestly, it’s impossible not to 54 the unsung hero. One injured owl who couldn’t return to the wild ended up 55 her life to helping hundreds of others get there instead. 41．A．witness B．nurse C．legend D．expert 42．A．injuries B．threats C．losses D．blows 43．A．habit B．demand C．family D．gift 44．A．freely B．slightly C．badly D．lately 45．A．hatching B．tending C．observing D．testing 46．A．care about B．take over C．dig into D．react to 47．A．hug B．imitate C．doubt D．value 48．A．catching B．burying C．selecting D．tricking 49．A．games B．references C．lessons D．honors 50．A．driven B．packed C．admitted D．released 51．A．evolution B．migration C．success D．survival 52．A．adoptive B．punctual C．reasonable D．biological 53．A．naughty B．weak C．anxious D．independent 54．A．comfort B．remind C．appreciate D．overlook 55．A．dedicating B．limiting C．sacrificing D．abandoning 第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For thousands of years, Chinese people have looked up at the stars and longed intensely 56 the mysterious infinite universe.

Before we hit the road, she showed me a short video introducing a new Beijing Opera adapted from the world-famous play Hamlet. She told me that traditional stage art could transform boring environmental knowledge into lively stories, which would have a deep impact on ordinary people’s minds. During our drive, we passed green hills, clear rivers and endless blue sea. Grandma shared shocking facts with me: many people feared sharks only because of the old film Jaws. Yet they knew little that countless sharks lost their lives every year because of plastic pollution and shark fin hunting. One warm afternoon, we wandered along the quiet sandy beach after lunch. Suddenly, a weak splash caught our attention. We walked closer and spotted a young shark tightly trapped in abandoned plastic fishing nets. It struggled painfully in shallow water, one fin badly wounded, and pieces of plastic rubbish wrapped around its whole body. My heart sank the moment I saw its helpless eyes. Grandma sighed and reminded me that human activity was destroying ocean balance day by day. I was determined to save the poor creature right away, but we carried no sharp tools to cut the strong nets. We looked around the empty shore anxiously, not knowing who we could turn to for help. Just at that moment, a group of local teenagers carrying piles of environmental leaflets walked towards us. Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共12页） 试题 第4页（共12页） 试题 第1页（共12页） 试题 第2页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第二册英语单元自测 Unit 6 Survival·单元自测卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分1.5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．What will Susan do today?

C．Improve the living environment. 20．How does Linda McGuigan feel about the research? A．It is hard to keep going. B．It will be successful soon. C．It is meaningful in the long term. 【答案】17．B 18．C 19．A 20．C 【原文】 W: Good evening, everyone. In tonight’s program, let’s talk about the American chestnut. At one time, the American chestnut was among the most widespread trees in the eastern United States. The wood was used to cover the walls of homes and schools. The leaves helped add nutrients to the soil. And men on street corners sold chestnuts cooked over an open fire. However, in the late 19th century, some East Asian varieties of chestnut trees brought to the US carried a disease that killed almost all American chestnuts. The disease harms them when the small trees start to develop fully, while East Asian varieties are resistant to it. Researchers have tried to save American chestnuts by cross-breeding, or mixing them with one kind of Chinese chestnut that can fight off the disease. The trees the researchers have grown could not resist the disease well enough to become large and healthy trees. That is why scientists are now trying to combine two methods: cross-breeding and genetically changing the genes of American chestnut trees. A scientific team concluded a changing climate and warmer temperatures may also make restoring the chestnut difficult in some areas. For now, researchers know their work might not be successful in their lifetimes. The process has been slow. Linda McGuigan helped support the research for years. She said, “The project moves on, lives on. I want to do something good for the future, for my children.” 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Packed with character, culture and countryside, these English treasures are worth exploring.

These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.” This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.” Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment. “Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion. Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood. 24．What inspires Alia Bhatt to engage in saving animals and the environment? A．A desire to seek fame. B．Pressure from her family. C．The goal of becoming an expert. D．A passion from her childhood. 25．How does Alia Bhatt practically contribute to public welfare? A．Keeping stray animals at home. B．Launching a new clothing brand. C．Producing related movies and books. D．Reducing entertainment activities. 26．Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text? A．Careful and ambitious. B．Devoted and compassionate. C．Humorous and diligent. D．Innovative and generous. 27．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Celebrities should take on more social responsibilities. B．Minor good deeds can have a huge impact. C．Media raises public awareness of social problems. D．Childhood experiences shape lifelong behaviors. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文主要讲述印度知名女演员Alia Bhatt从小关爱动物，长大后依托自身影响力，通过多种创新方式投身动物保护与环保公益事业的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”(当她们的母亲试图阻止她们再往家带小猫时，姐妹俩把它们藏在房间里，直到它们康复。Bhatt说：“这几乎是情不自禁的，我的心在很小的时候就敞开了。”)”以及第二段中的“I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.(我决定专注于我热爱的东西——那就是动物)”可知，激发她投身动物与环境保护的，是源自童年的热情。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India.(她担任执行制片人，推出了2024年热播迷你剧《Poacher》，该剧基于印度一起真实的猎杀大象调查)”和第四段中的“Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures.(故事能深刻影响儿童，而巴特正是《The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma》一书的作者。这是一套儿童读物系列，讲述了一位女孩和她领养的狗一起展开动物救助冒险的故事)”可知，她通过制作相关电影和书籍来切实贡献公益。 26．推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是第二段中的“I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.(我决定专注于我热爱的东西——那就是动物)”，第四段中的“Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife.(受到女儿对动物的喜爱启发，她旨在培养孩子们对野生动物的热情)”，以及最后一段中Dorita D’Souza的评价“she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood.(她让保护工作变得贴近大众，这源于她童年时期对动物建立的深厚同理心)”，可以看出她是一位富有同情心（compassionate）且全身心投入公益事业（devoted）的人。 27．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood.(这份对动物的爱伴随她步入成年。)”可知，文章开篇即点明Alia Bhatt对动物的爱从童年持续到成年，随后详细描述了她如何利用名人身份，通过各种创意项目将童年的爱心转化为持续的公益行动。D选项“Childhood experiences shape lifelong behaviors.(童年经历塑造终身行为。)”最能概括文章主旨。 C In the past thirty years, bee numbers in the United Kingdom have fallen by nearly a third. The main reasons are climate change and the loss of natural habitats. These changes make it hard for bees to find enough pollen (花粉) and nectar (花蜜). Pollen is important because it gives bees proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Without these nutrients, bees cannot stay healthy. Beekeepers sometimes give bees extra food, but these supplements lack all the nutrients bees need. As a result, the lack of good food has become a serious problem for honeybees. To solve this, scientists led by Professor Geraldine Wright from the University of Oxford worked to design better food. The challenge was that bees need special nutrients called sterols, which are not easy to make. The team studied which sterols bees need, and then found a way to produce them. They created a type of yeast (酵母) that can make all six sterols. The next step was to prepare the food in a form bees would accept. Since bees are fussy eaters who turn their noses up at unsuitable food, the team made a soft “cookie dough” mixture with bee-friendly ingredients. The scientists tested the new food in glasshouses. The results were impressive. Colonies that ate the food produced up to fifteen times more young bees than colonies that did not. These young bees also grew into healthy adults. The bees with the new diet lived longer, cared for their young better, and were stronger against diseases. This showed the food could greatly improve bee growth and survival. Wright called it “a huge breakthrough for the species.” The study has important significance for both bees and people. With this new food, bees will not need to fight so much for wildflowers. This can help bee populations recover and become stronger. Since bees are key pollinators (授粉者) for many crops, protecting them also helps protect human food supplies. If the food is used on a larger scale, it could be a big step toward saving bees and supporting global food security. 28．What can we learn about bee supplements from paragraph 1? A．They are made from natural pollen and nectar. B．They contain all the nutrients bees need. C．They cannot fully replace natural food sources. D．They help solve the healthy problem of bees. 29．What does the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Quiet. B．Picky. C．Big. D．Fast. 30．What does the glasshouse test suggest about the new food? A．It suits bees’ tastes better. B．It makes young bees grow faster. C．It works best in a controlled environment. D．It boosts bees’ population and well-being. 31．What is the potential significance of the study? A．It encourages people to keep bees. B．It helps safeguard human food sources. C．It indicates environmental health condition. D．It removes bees’ dependence on wildflowers. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．D 31．B 【导语】文章主要介绍英国蜜蜂数量锐减的成因，牛津团队研发新型营养蜂粮，温室试验效果显著，该研究助力蜂群恢复与全球粮食安全。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Beekeepers sometimes give bees extra food, but these supplements lack all the nutrients bees need.(养蜂人有时会给蜜蜂投喂额外食物，但这些补充饲料缺少蜜蜂所需的全部营养)”可知，人工补充饲料无法提供蜜蜂需要的全部营养，不能完全替代天然花粉花蜜这类天然食物来源。 29．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Since bees are fussy eaters who turn their noses up at unsuitable food, the team made a soft “cookie dough” mixture with bee-friendly ingredients.(因为蜜蜂是fussy食客，会对不合适的食物嗤之以鼻，团队便用适合蜜蜂的原料制作了柔软的曲奇面团状混合物)”可知，蜜蜂会拒绝不合口味的食物，fussy在此表示“挑剔的”，与picky意义相近。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Colonies that ate the food produced up to fifteen times more young bees than colonies that did not. These young bees also grew into healthy adults. The bees with the new diet lived longer, cared for their young better, and were stronger against diseases.(食用该食物的蜂群繁育出的幼蜂数量，最高可达未食用该食物蜂群的十五倍。这些幼蜂也成长为健康的成年蜜蜂。采用这种新食物的蜜蜂寿命更长、照料幼蜂的效果更好，并且抵御疾病的能力更强)”可知，新型饲料能够提升蜜蜂种群数量、改善蜜蜂整体健康状况。 31．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Since bees are key pollinators (授粉者) for many crops, protecting them also helps protect human food supplies.(因为蜜蜂是多种农作物的关键授粉者，保护蜜蜂也有助于保护人类的食物供给)”可知，这项研究能够保护蜜蜂，进而守护人类的食物来源。 D As nations rush to adopt renewable energy, a significant conflict has arisen: the need for land to construct large solar farms often destroys forests, which are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This paradox (悖论), where a climate solution contributes to another environmental problem, is particularly severe in thickly populated countries. In South Korea, for instance, thousands of hectares of forest have been cleared for solar panel installations (安装), erasing vital carbon sinks, causing soil loss, and destroying natural habitats for wildlife. This trade-off between clean energy and ecosystem preservation poses a serious challenge to achieving global climate goals. A promising solution may come in the form of “solar trees”, a creative technology designed to copy the shape of a real tree. As detailed in a new study published in Scientific Reports, these structures feature solar panels arranged in a manner similar to branches and leaves in tree top. This design enables them to generate electricity while casting minimal shade, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and permitting underlying plants and ecosystems to continue growing well. Unlike vast ground-mounted solar farms that require the clear-cutting of land, solar trees can be integrated directly into existing forests, offering a way to produce power while preserving nature. In a first-of-its-kind analysis, researcher Dan-Bi Um used 3D computer simulations (模拟) to model a sweeping installation of solar trees in a coastal forest in Goseong County, South Korea, and compared it to a real-world solar farm already there. The results were striking — the conventional flat-panel installation required clearing 98 percent of the forest. In contrast, Um’s simulation showed that arranging solar trees in a row along existing roads preserved 99 percent of the forest cover. The study demonstrates that this preservation does not have to come at the expense of power. The simulation found that just 63 high-efficiency solar trees could produce the same 1 megawatt of power as the land-intensive flat-panel farm. By offering a solution to energy needs and environmental conservation, solar trees represent a strategic path forward for countries aiming to meet ambitious climate targets without losing their invaluable forests. 32．What dilemma does the author mention in the first paragraph? A．Wildlife habitats are threatened by soil loss. B．Renewable energy adoption leads to forest destruction. C．Solar farms fail to absorb carbon dioxide effectively. D．Thickly populated countries lack enough land for development. 33．Why do researchers design solar trees like real trees? A．To simplify installation in roads. B．To make them more appealing in the woods. C．To decrease the shade on the ground. D．To help them absorb more carbon dioxide. 34．What can we infer about conventional ground-mounted solar farms? A．They are mainly built along coastal areas. B．They need to clear most of the trees where they were installed. C．They produce less power per panel than solar trees. D．They generate electricity that is easy to store and transport. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Solar Trees: Preserving Forests While Generating Power B．Solar Technology: Advancement in South Korea C．Renewable Energy: Advantages and Disadvantages D．Forest Destruction Caused by Solar Farms 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．B 35．A 【导语】本文主要介绍传统太阳能电站建设存在破坏森林的环保困境，介绍了“solar trees(太阳能树)”这项创新技术的设计原理、实验优势，说明其可兼顾发电与森林保护，助力实现气候目标。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As nations rush to adopt renewable energy, a significant conflict has arisen: the need for land to construct large solar farms often destroys forests, which are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.(随着各国争相采用可再生能源，一个显著的矛盾出现了：建设大型太阳能发电厂所需的土地往往会破坏对吸收大气中二氧化碳至关重要的森林。)”可知，作者在第一段中提到的困境是发展可再生能源导致了森林的破坏。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This design enables them to generate electricity while casting minimal shade, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and permitting underlying plants and ecosystems to continue growing well.(这种设计使它们在发电的同时投下极少的阴影，让阳光能够照射到森林地面，使林下植物和生态系统得以继续良好生长。)”可知，研究人员将太阳能树设计成真实树木的形态，是为了减少对地面的遮光。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The results were striking — the conventional flat-panel installation required clearing 98 percent of the forest.(结果令人震惊——传统的平板安装方式需要清除98%的森林。)”可知，传统的地面光伏电站需要在安装区域砍伐绝大部分树木。 35．主旨大意题。文章开篇提出光伏发展与森林保护的矛盾，随后重点介绍了“太阳能树”这一创新解决方案，并通过韩国高城郡的模拟实验数据，论证了其在保林与发电两方面的可行性。A选项“Solar Trees: Preserving Forests While Generating Power(太阳能树：在发电的同时保护森林)”准确概括了全文核心内容。 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。 Dogs, more so than almost any other domestic pets, are desperate for human eye contact. 36 And according to a study that pull at the heartstrings might be exactly why dogs can give us those looks at all. 37 Studying the two animals is a bit like breaking open a four-legged time capsule. A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that dogs’ faces are structured for complex expressions in a way that wolves aren’t. For the study, a team looked at two muscles (the RAOL and LAOM muscles) that work together to widen and open a dog’s eyes, causing them to appear bigger and more lovely, which we read as distinctly humanlike. The muscles form two short, straight lines, which connect the ring of muscle around a dog’s eye to either end of the brow above. 38 Therefore, they concluded that the origin of these complex facial expressions is after dogs splitting from wolves. Research has also shown that when dogs work these muscles, humans respond more positively. This isn’t simply a coincidental love story, in which the eyes of two species just happen to meet across a crowded planet. 39 For a species to change quickly, a pretty powerful force must be acting on it. 40 We connect more deeply with animals capable of making humanlike facial movements, so dogs have evolved to look like our own human babies to be selected for adoption. A．Dogs are very similar to wolves. B．And that is where humans come in. C．It’s hard for most people to resist the shining eyes of a little dog. D．Dogs split off from their gray wolf relatives as many as 33,000 years ago. E．But in the four gray wolves the researchers looked at, neither muscle was present. F．Just like other best partnerships, this one is more likely the result of years of evolution. G．Researchers have long been interested in the ways dogs make eye contact with humans. 【答案】36．C 37．D 38．E 39．F 40．B 【导语】文章主要介绍了狗通过进化获得了能够做出复杂面部表情的肌肉结构，这种能力使它们看起来更像人类婴儿，从而更容易被人类喜爱和收养。 【详解】36．上文“Dogs, more so than almost any other domestic pets, are desperate for human eye contact.(狗比几乎任何其他家养宠物都更渴望与人类进行眼神交流)”指出狗渴望与人对视，C选项“It’s hard for most people to resist the shining eyes of a little dog.(大多数人很难抗拒小狗闪亮的眼睛)”承接上文，从人类角度解释为什么狗会如此渴望眼神交流——因为这种眼神很难被抗拒；下文“And according to a study that pull at the heartstrings might be exactly why dogs can give us those looks at all.(根据一项研究，这种打动人心弦的能力可能正是狗能对我们做出那种表情的原因)”中的“pull at the heartstrings”与C选项中的“hard to resist”相呼应，上下文语意连贯。 37．下文“Studying the two animals is a bit like breaking open a four-legged time capsule.(研究这两种动物有点像打开一个四足的时间胶囊)”提到了对两种动物的比较研究，且下文详细对比了狗与狼的面部肌肉差异。D选项“Dogs split off from their gray wolf relatives as many as 33,000 years ago.(狗在早达33000年前从它们的灰狼近亲中分化出来)”指出这两种动物是狗和狼，引出下文，并说明了它们分化的时间点；下文中的“the two animals”指代D选项中的“dogs”和“gray wolf”，上下文逻辑连贯。 38．上文“The muscles form two short, straight lines, which connect the ring of muscle around a dog’s eye to either end of the brow above.(这些肌肉形成两条短而直的线条，连接狗眼睛周围的肌肉环与上方眉毛的两端)”描述了狗面部肌肉的具体结构，E选项“But in the four gray wolves the researchers looked at, neither muscle was present.(但在研究人员观察的四只灰狼身上，这两种肌肉都不存在)”与上文构成转折关系，指出狗拥有这些肌肉而狼没有；下文“Therefore, they concluded that the origin of these complex facial expressions is after dogs splitting from wolves.(因此，他们得出结论，这些复杂面部表情的起源是在狗从狼分化之后)”中的“Therefore”表明E选项中的发现是得出结论的依据，上下文语意连贯。 39．上文“This isn’t simply a coincidental love story, in which the eyes of two species just happen to meet across a crowded planet.(这不仅仅是一个巧合的爱情故事，两个物种的眼睛恰好在一个拥挤的星球上相遇)”否定了狗与人眼神交流的偶然性，F选项“Just like other best partnerships, this one is more likely the result of years of evolution.(就像其他最好的伙伴关系一样，这种关系更可能是多年进化的结果)”承接上文，指出这种眼神交流是长期进化的结果，与上文的“coincidental”形成对比，上下文逻辑连贯。 40．上文“For a species to change quickly, a pretty powerful force must be acting on it.(一个物种要快速变化，必然有相当强大的力量在作用于它)”指出物种快速变化需要强大的驱动力，B选项“And that is where humans come in.(而这正是人类发挥作用的地方)”承接上文，点明这种强大力量就是人类的选择偏好；下文“We connect more deeply with animals capable of making humanlike facial movements, so dogs have evolved to look like our own human babies to be selected for adoption.(我们与能够做出类似人类面部动作的动物建立了更深的情感联系，因此狗进化得看起来像我们人类的婴儿，以便被选择收养)”具体解释了人类选择如何驱动狗的进化，与B选项中的“humans come in”相呼应，上下文语意连贯。 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。 Casper is a great horned owl living at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. It has become a(n) 41 at the center after fostering (照料) more than 500 rescued owlets since 1999. Casper first arrived at the center after suffering 42 . Soon the team discovered she had a very special 43 : she was a natural foster mom. Since then, she has helped generations of rescued baby owls, teaching the skills they are 44 in need of after they return to nature. Right now, she’s 45 four more owlets (猫头鹰幼崽). The young owls learn by watching her fly, hunt, and 46 the world around them. “They look up to her, they follow her, they 47 her,” said Rob Hope, manager of the society. Casper teaches important behaviors like 48 prey (猎物) and staying cautious of humans. Such are 49 that can make a big difference once the birds are 50 into the wild. “That’s what we want so that when those babies are in the wild, they’ve got a good chance of 51 ,” he said. Over the 26 years, Casper has become far more than a rescue animal. She’s been a trusted teacher, protector, and 52 mother to hundreds of 53 baby owls who otherwise might not have survived. Honestly, it’s impossible not to 54 the unsung hero. One injured owl who couldn’t return to the wild ended up 55 her life to helping hundreds of others get there instead. 41．A．witness B．nurse C．legend D．expert 42．A．injuries B．threats C．losses D．blows 43．A．habit B．demand C．family D．gift 44．A．freely B．slightly C．badly D．lately 45．A．hatching B．tending C．observing D．testing 46．A．care about B．take over C．dig into D．react to 47．A．hug B．imitate C．doubt D．value 48．A．catching B．burying C．selecting D．tricking 49．A．games B．references C．lessons D．honors 50．A．driven B．packed C．admitted D．released 51．A．evolution B．migration C．success D．survival 52．A．adoptive B．punctual C．reasonable D．biological 53．A．naughty B．weak C．anxious D．independent 54．A．comfort B．remind C．appreciate D．overlook 55．A．dedicating B．limiting C．sacrificing D．abandoning 【答案】 41．C 42．A 43．D 44．C 45．B 46．D 47．B 48．A 49．C 50．D 51．D 52．A 53．B 54．C 55．A 【导语】文章讲述猫头鹰卡斯珀受伤获救后，二十六年抚育数百只幼鸮、传授生存技能，成为无名英雄的暖心故事。 【详解】41．考查名词。句意：自1999年以来，它照料了500多只获救的猫头鹰幼崽，已然成为该救助中心的一段传奇。A. witness目击者；B. nurse护士；C. legend传奇人物；D. expert专家。根据后文“fostering more than 500 rescued owlets”可知，它多年抚育数百幼崽，事迹不凡，堪称传奇。 42．考查名词。句意：卡斯珀受伤后首次来到该救助中心。A. injuries伤痛；B. threats威胁；C. losses损失；D. blows打击。根据文末“One injured owl”以及救助中心的场景可知，它是因受伤被救助。 43．考查名词。句意：很快工作人员发现它拥有一项非常特别的天赋：它是天生的抚育妈妈。A. habit习惯；B. demand要求；C. family家庭；D. gift天赋。根据下文“she was a natural foster mom”可知，天生擅长抚育幼崽是它独有的特殊天赋。 44．考查副词。句意：从那以后，它帮助了一代又一代获救的猫头鹰幼崽，教给它们回归野外后急需的生存技能。A. freely自由地；B. slightly轻微地；C. badly极其、非常；D. lately最近。根据下文“after they return to nature”可知，返回大自然的猫头鹰急需生存技能。 45．考查动词。句意：此刻，它正在照料另外四只猫头鹰幼崽。A. hatching孵化；B. tending照料；C. observing观察；D. testing测试。根据上文“she was a natural foster mom”和“four more owlets”可知，它正在照料幼崽。 46．考查动词短语。句意：这些幼鸮通过观察它飞翔、捕猎以及应对周遭世界来学习。A. care about关心；B. take over接管；C. dig into深入研究；D. react to应对、回应。根据下文“the world around them”并结合常识可知，野外生存需要学会应对周遭环境与事物，贴合生存技能语境。 47．考查动词。句意：该机构负责人罗布·霍普说：“它们仰慕它、追随它、模仿它。”A. hug拥抱；B. imitate模仿；C. doubt怀疑；D. value珍视。根据上文“The young owls learn by watching her fly, hunt”可知，幼鸮观察成年猫头鹰，并模仿其行为。 48．考查动词。句意：卡斯珀传授捕猎猎物、警惕人类等重要生存行为。A. catching捕捉；B. burying埋藏；C. selecting挑选；D. tricking欺骗。根据下文“prey”可知，此处指捕捉猎物。 49．考查名词。句意：一旦这些鸟儿被放归野外，这些经验就能起到至关重要的作用。A. games游戏；B. references参考；C. lessons经验；D. honors荣誉。根据上文“Casper teaches important behaviors like ____ prey (猎物) and staying cautious of humans.”可知，卡斯珀教给幼鸮赖以生存的经验。 50．考查动词。句意：一旦这些鸟儿被放归野外，这些本领就能起到至关重要的作用。A. driven驱使；B. packed打包；C. admitted承认；D. released释放、放归。根据下文“into the wild”可知，救助的动物恢复后，需要放归野外。 51．考查名词。句意：他说：“这正是我们想要的结果，让这些幼鸮在野外拥有良好的存活机会。”A. evolution进化；B. migration迁徙；C. success成功；D. survival生存、存活。根据上文“Casper teaches important behaviors like ____ prey (猎物) and staying cautious of humans.”可知，幼鸟习得技能，可以提高在野外的存活机会。 52．考查形容词。句意：它是数百只弱小幼鸮值得信赖的老师、守护者和养母，没有它这些幼鸮本难以存活。A. adoptive收养的、抚育的；B. punctual守时的；C. reasonable合理的；D. biological亲生的、生物学的。呼应上文“she was a natural foster mom”可知，它是抚育幼鸟的养母。 53．考查形容词。句意：它是数百只弱小幼鸮值得信赖的老师、守护者和养母，没有它这些幼鸮本难以存活。A. naughty淘气的；B. weak弱小的；C. anxious焦虑的；D. independent独立的。根据上文“she has helped generations of rescued baby owls”可知，需要被抚育救助的都是弱小、无法独立生存的幼鸮。 54．考查动词。句意：说实话，我们无法不敬佩这位无名英雄。A. comfort安慰；B. remind提醒；C. appreciate感激、敬佩；D. overlook忽视。根据上文“Over the 26 years, Casper has become far more than a rescue animal.

Our ancestors recorded countless star-watching stories across dynasties, thus 57 (create) inspiring cultural phenomena recorded in ancient poems and professional observatories. Only by observing astronomical laws diligently 58 our ancestors manage to accumulate reliable data for accurate seasonal judgment. The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, standing in Guizhou’s remote mountainous areas, is far more powerful when 59 (compare) with ordinary astronomical devices. It is capable of capturing 60 extremely faint cosmic (宇宙的) signal that no ordinary ground device can detect. FAST supports in-depth research on the Big Bang theory, 61 describes the origin of space billions of years ago. Scientists are striving to offer a convincing 62 (explain) of the formation and long-term evolution of the universe, which makes it possible 63 (grasp) the complex evolution rules of remote galaxies.

Before we hit the road, she showed me a short video introducing a new Beijing Opera adapted from the world-famous play Hamlet. She told me that traditional stage art could transform boring environmental knowledge into lively stories, which would have a deep impact on ordinary people’s minds. During our drive, we passed green hills, clear rivers and endless blue sea. Grandma shared shocking facts with me: many people feared sharks only because of the old film Jaws. Yet they knew little that countless sharks lost their lives every year because of plastic pollution and shark fin hunting. One warm afternoon, we wandered along the quiet sandy beach after lunch. Suddenly, a weak splash caught our attention. We walked closer and spotted a young shark tightly trapped in abandoned plastic fishing nets. It struggled painfully in shallow water, one fin badly wounded, and pieces of plastic rubbish wrapped around its whole body. My heart sank the moment I saw its helpless eyes. Grandma sighed and reminded me that human activity was destroying ocean balance day by day. I was determined to save the poor creature right away, but we carried no sharp tools to cut the strong nets. We looked around the empty shore anxiously, not knowing who we could turn to for help. Just at that moment, a group of local teenagers carrying piles of environmental leaflets walked towards us. Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. One boy took a pair of safe scissors out of his environmental bag, while the rest knelt down and held the shark gently to calm it down. We cooperated patiently, carefully cutting every layer of plastic net around its body. Admiring its shiny silver skin, I truly understood that movies like Jaws had a terrible impact on public attitudes toward sharks, making most people ignore their endangered situation. After we set it free, the shark waved its tail and swam slowly toward the deep ocean. The teens said they handed out leaflets every weekend, and their protection activities were based on real survey data of local sea wildlife. Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. Grandma created a short Beijing Opera play transformed into a warm story of shark protection, which was filled with vivid lines about ocean balance. Lots of passing tourists stopped to watch and gladly took our leaflets. We fully took people’s misunderstanding of sharks into account and patiently explained why sharks mattered to the sea. This unforgettable road trip completely changed my opinion: stage art and travel could work together to spread green ideas. I promised to keep telling such meaningful stories and stick to eco-friendly habits in daily life. 【导语】本文以环保和舞台艺术为线索，讲述了作者和热爱环保与舞台艺术的奶奶前往海边小镇旅行，途中了解到大众因影片误解鲨鱼，忽视鲨鱼遭受塑料污染、鱼鳍捕猎的生存危机。海边游玩时，二人发现一头幼鲨被塑料渔网缠绕困住、伤势严重，危急时刻一群当地环保青少年赶来，为救援鲨鱼带来希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由首句内容可知，第一段可续写描写青少年迅速赶来救援，众人分工协作、耐心剪开渔网、安抚鲨鱼，成功将其放归大海。作者借此反思大众对鲨鱼的刻板误解，并了解到青少年长期坚持开展海洋环保宣传。 ②由首句内容可知，第二段可续写描写奶奶改编京剧短剧，以生动的舞台形式科普鲨鱼保护与海洋生态知识，吸引游客驻足学习。作者深刻感悟，传统艺术结合旅行公益，是传播绿色理念的绝佳方式，并立志坚守环保初心。 2.续写线索：青少年赶来救援→众人协作解救幼鲨→鲨鱼重归大海→了解当地环保行动→改编京剧短剧→海滩公益演出→科普海洋保护知识→打破大众误解→感悟艺术与公益的力量、立志践行环保 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.协作合作：cooperate/collaborate ②.释放：set free/release ③.宣传传播：spread/promote 情绪/状态类 ①.温柔地：gently/softly ②.生动的：vivid/lively ③.难忘的：unforgettable/memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1].

At one time, the american chestnut was among the most widespread trees in the eastern united states. The wood was used to cover the walls of homes and schools. The leaves helped add nutrient to the il, and men on street corner sold chestnuts cooked over an open fire. However, in the late nineteen eighteenth century, some east asian varieties of chestnut trees brought to the U. S. Carried the disease that killed almost all american chestnuts. The disease harms them when the small trees start to develop fully. While east asian varieties are resistant to IT, researchers have tried to save american chestnuts by cross breeding or mixing them with one kind of chinese chestnut that can fight off the disease. The trees the researchers have grown could not resist the disease well enough to become large and healthy trees. That is why scientists are now trying to combine two methods, cross breeding and genetically changing the genes of american chestnut trees. A scientific team concluded, a changing climate and warmer temperatures may also make restoring the chestnut difficult in some areas. For now, researchers know their work might not be successful in their lifetimes. The process has been slow. Linda mcgowan helped support the research for years. He said, the project moves on, lives on. I want to do something good for the future, for my children. Good evening, everyone. In tonight's program, let's talk about the american chestnut.
