A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍健康生活营的各类活动内容，该项目旨在帮助参与者养成良好健康的日常生活习惯。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Healthy Living Camp is a one‑week outdoor program that encourages people to enjoy nature and build better daily habits.(健康生活营是为期一周的户外项目，鼓励人们享受大自然并养成更好的日常习惯。)”可知，该营地的目标是帮助人们养成更好的日常习惯。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Morning Fitness部分中的“Each day begins with group exercises beside the lake. Trainers guide participants through stretching, jogging, and breathing activities.(每天以湖边的集体锻炼拉开序幕。教练带领参与者做拉伸、慢跑以及呼吸相关运动。)”可知，每天早上在湖边开展拉伸和慢跑活动。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mindful Living Sessions部分中的“In the afternoon, guests join quiet reflection and meditation (冥想) exercises. Instructors show how to relax, manage stress, and stay focused.(下午，参与者参加安静反思与冥想练习。讲师教授放松、调节压力以及保持专注的方法。)”可知，下午课程的目的是教授压力管理和保持专注。 B In 1996, 26-year-old Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka became Uganda’s first wildlife doctor for animals. Just nine months later, a big problem hit Uganda’s rare mountain gorillas (大猩猩). A strange skin disease spread in the forest. The gorillas lost their hair, got dry white skin, and scratched their bodies nonstop. One baby gorilla almost lost all its fur. Dr. Gladys wanted to find the cause. She asked her doctor friend about common sicknesses in poor villages nearby. They found it was scabies (疥疮) — a small bug (虫子) infection caused by bad cleanliness. Her team treated the gorillas, but the sick baby died. They found the disease came from old clothes with bugs at the park edge. This showed people’s actions made the gentle gorillas sick. “I learned we can’t protect gorillas if we don’t help the people living near them stay healthy,” Dr. Gladys said. In 2003, she started a group called Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH). This group helps over 50,000 local people. It also made Uganda’s gorilla population grow by more than 50%. Dr. Gladys loved animals when she was 8. She saw her neighbor’s monkey play the piano. “They are so much like humans,” she thought. She studied to be an animal doctor in London. In 1994, she worked at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. There, she looked into a gorilla’s eyes. The gorilla was calm and smart. She felt a strong bond with it. At that time, only 600 mountain gorillas were left in the world. She promised to save them. Now, CTPH helps villages and protects nature together. Village health workers teach people to keep clean and stop diseases. This keeps both people and gorillas healthy. “Gorilla Guardians” guide wandering gorillas safely back to the forest. They also help people who hunted illegally become park workers or farmers. Today, the results are amazing. Now, 1,049 mountain gorillas live worldwide. They are no longer “critically endangered” — only “endangered”. This is a big win for protecting animals. 4. Why did Dr. Gladys start CTPH? A. To study monkeys. B. To teach the piano. C. To build more parks. D. To help people and gorillas. 5. What inspired Dr. Gladys’ interest in animals at an early age? A. The sight of sick young gorillas losing their fur. B. A close meeting with a gorilla in the Bwindi forest. C. Lessons about wildlife protection at her London school. D. A neighbor’s monkey interacting with a musical instrument. 6. What is one duty of the “Gorilla Guardians”? A. Train local health teams on disease control. B. Help lost gorillas back to their natural habitat. C. Check villagers’ clothes for harmful tiny insects. D. Offer medical treatment for sick mountain gorillas. 7. What can we learn from Dr. Gladys’ story? A. Being a doctor is well-paid. B. Wild animals are easy to save. C. Helping people is helping nature. D. Gorillas are “critically endangered” today. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了乌干达首位野生动物医生格拉迪斯·卡莱马-齐库索卡通过帮助当地居民改善健康来保护山地大猩猩的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“‌“I learned we can’t protect gorillas if we don’t help the people living near them stay healthy,” Dr. Gladys said. In 2003, she started a group called Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH). This group helps over 50,000 local people. It also made Uganda’s gorilla population grow by more than 50%.(“我了解到，如果我们不帮助生活在大猩猩附近的人们保持健康，我们就无法保护大猩猩，”格拉迪斯博士说。2003年，她创立了一个名为“通过公共卫生保护”的组织(CTPH)。该组织帮助了超过5万名当地人。它还使乌干达的大猩猩数量增长了50%以上)”可知，格拉迪斯博士创立CTPH是为了同时帮助人类和大猩猩。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Dr. Gladys loved animals when she was 8. She saw her neighbor’s monkey play the piano. ‌“They are so much like humans,” she thought.(格拉迪斯博士8岁时就热爱动物。她看到邻居的猴子弹钢琴。“它们和人类太像了，”她想)”可知，是邻居家的猴子弹钢琴激发了她早年对动物的兴趣。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“‌“Gorilla Guardians” guide wandering gorillas safely back to the forest.(“大猩猩守护者”引导游荡的大猩猩安全返回森林)”可知，“大猩猩守护者”的职责之一是帮助迷路的大猩猩回到自然栖息地。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‌“I learned we can’t protect gorillas if we don’t help the people living near them stay healthy,” Dr. Gladys said.(“我了解到，如果我们不帮助生活在大猩猩附近的人们保持健康，我们就无法保护大猩猩，”格拉迪斯博士说)”以及第五段中“Now, CTPH helps villages and protects nature together. Village health workers teach people to keep clean and stop diseases. This keeps both people and gorillas healthy.(如今，CTPH将帮助村庄和保护自然结合在一起。村庄卫生工作者教人们保持清洁、预防疾病。这使人和大猩猩都保持健康)”可知，从格拉迪斯博士的故事中我们可以学到：帮助人类就是帮助自然。 C The Face-down Generation If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (发短信和自拍) to become successful in real life — or “IRL”, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8(great) and LOL(laugh out loud). 8. What is the text mainly about? A. The advantages of the “face-down generation”. B. The challenges faced by the “face-down generation”. C. Opinions and facts about the “face-down generation”. D. The lifestyle of the “face-down generation”. 9. Why are the oh-ohs regarded as the “face-down generation”? A. Because they use their phones so much. B. Because they know how to deal with school, friends and family. C. Because they are busy taking selfies to become successful. D. Because they are more interested in the world around them. 10. What would a “helicopter parent” do? A. They do everything for their kids. B. They give a lot of homework to their kids. C. They take part in many extra-curricular activities. D. They would live like teenagers even if they are adults. 11. What would the writer probably agree? A. The oh-ohs are spoilt. B. The oh-ohs need changes. C. The oh-ohs are a generation that brings hope. D. The oh-ohs are less creative than the past generations. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍成年人对00后“低头一代”的两类担忧，同时列举事实展现这代人的优势，作者认为这一代人前景充满希望。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?(如果你正在读这篇文章，那你大概率出生于21世纪初，也就是00后。这意味着你年轻、富有创造力、社交广泛、视野全球化，无疑十分聪慧，或许长相也不错，对吧？但其他人是怎么看待你们这一代人的呢？)”以及文章先介绍成年人对此代人的担忧（观点），再列举事实（更好教育、更有创造力、热心公益、马拉拉等）说明不必担忧，属于“观点与事实”的结合。即文章主要讲了关于“低头一代”的观点和事实。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.(他们认为你属于“低头一代”，因为你总是用手机，所以他们担心你会如何应对学校、朋友和家庭)”可知，被视为“低头一代”是因为他们太频繁地使用手机了。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.(即便孩子们课业繁重、还要参加舞蹈、绘画、运动等课外活动，他们也始终陪伴左右，给予指导与帮助。如今的年轻人似乎更愿意像青少年一样生活，即使他们已经二十多岁或三十多岁了，而他们的父母却为他们做了一切)”可知，“直升机式父母”会为孩子做一切。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future.(所以，如果你是那些00后之一，未来仍有值得期待的理由)”可知，作者可能同意00后一代是带来希望的一代。 D I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet. Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept. 13. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show? A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels. C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships. 14. Which of the following would Maimonides most likely approve of? A. Giving gifts to friends on birthdays. B. Making a large donation to a charity. C. Expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. D. Volunteering weekly at a community kitchen. 15. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Courtesy to AI saves electricity bills. B. AI improves the quality of human life. C. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出很多人对AI礼貌，虽AI无感知且看似无用，但相关实验和观点表明，这种行为能培养人类礼貌、同理心等品质，最终受益者是人类自身。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.”(我常常会发现自己在向人工智能聊天机器人提问时会加上“请”和“谢谢”这样的词语。显然，我不是唯一一个这样做的。2024年的一项调查发现，大约67%的美国人工智能用户也会对人工智能搜索引擎表现出礼貌和感激之情。有些人甚至开玩笑说这要花费不少钱：如果每一个礼貌的词语都要消耗电能，那账单肯定很高。OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·阿尔特曼回应道：“这花费了数千万美元——谁知道呢。”)”并结合下文对“对AI礼貌能培养人的礼貌、同理心等品质”的陈述可知，作者在第一段通过描述一个现象引入话题。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health.( 不过，对人工智能表示感激所体现的价值可能并非是能够立即衡量出来的。心理学家罗伯特·埃蒙斯和迈克尔·麦卡洛开展了一项实验，他们将参与者分为三组，要求第一组列出他们所感激的事情，而其他两组则分别记录日常烦恼或只是进行日常日记记录。10周后，他们发现第一组的幸福感水平提高了25%，内心力量更强，身体状况也更好)”可知，第三段中的实验表明了感恩能增强我们的身体和心智。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit.(他认为，定期的善举，比如进行慈善捐赠和表达感激之情，会通过将美德转化为习惯而使我们长期感到更幸福)”可知，迈蒙尼德认同每周到社区厨房做志愿服务的做法。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a few extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves.(向机器表达感激之情，哪怕只是向一台机器表示感谢，也能强化我们养成的礼貌、耐心和同理心等良好习惯。在我们这个日益数字化和自动化的世界里，保持这些人性特质可能比多消耗一些电能更有价值。最终，我们礼貌行为的受益者并非那台人工智能，而是我们自己)”可知，作者在这篇文章中主要传达了礼貌对人类有益，而非对人工智能有益。故选C。 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。 Our life journey gets shaped by each small and big decision we make. Some paths feel comfortable while others bring struggles. ____16____ No single way of living fits every person perfectly. Too often, we judge choices only through other people’s eyes. We may value outside praise too much and overlook what our hearts truly want. ____17____ Comfort and safety are valuable, yet they are not everything that counts in life. ____18____ Blindly following inner wishes without noticing real‑world limits will lead us into trouble. Dreams need soil from reality to grow. It makes sense to hear ideas from family and people we trust. Their experience can light up parts of the road we cannot see. Many people fear possible failures brought by unusual choices. ____19____ Even when things do not turn out as we hope, valuable personal growth can come along with setbacks. ____20____ There is no ready‑made answer key for our life. We weigh reality against inner wishes, and keep moving forward on the road we pick. A. Still, failure is not completely without value. B. Real‑world conditions deserve our attention as well. C. It is natural that different people long for different futures. D. However, we should not make outside praise our only standard. E. We should accept all suggestions without any thinking. F. We must refuse all outside advice and act only by feeling. G. In the end, the choice belongs to ourselves. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要论述人生选择需兼顾内心诉求与现实条件，不应盲从他人或惧怕失败，人生的选择权最终掌握在自己手中。 【16题详解】 上文“Our life journey gets shaped by each small and big decision we make. Some paths feel comfortable while others bring struggles. (我们的人生旅程由我们做出的每一个或大或小的决定塑造。有些路走起来舒适，另一些则会带来磨难。)”介绍了不同人生道路的差异，下文“No single way of living fits every person perfectly. (没有任何一种生活方式能完美适配每一个人。)”点明生活方式没有统一标准。C选项“It is natural that different people long for different futures. (不同的人渴望不同的未来，这是很自然的事。)”承上启下，既承接上文不同人生路径的内容，也解释了为什么没有完美适配所有人的生活方式，上下文语意衔接自然。 【17题详解】 上文“We may value outside praise too much and overlook what our hearts truly want. (我们可能会过于看重外界的赞扬，而忽视自己内心真正的渴望。)”指出人们容易过度在意外部评价的问题。D选项“However, we should not make outside praise our only standard. (然而，我们不应该把外界的赞扬作为唯一的标准。)”承接上文，针对过度看重外界赞扬的问题给出正确态度，与上文构成转折，同时引出下文“Comfort and safety are valuable, yet they are not everything that counts in life. (舒适与安稳十分宝贵，但它们不是人生中唯一重要的东西。)”的论述，逻辑连贯。 【18题详解】 下文“Blindly following inner wishes without noticing real‑world limits will lead us into trouble. Dreams need soil from reality to grow. (盲目遵从内心意愿而忽视现实世界的限制，会让我们陷入困境。梦想需要现实的土壤才能生长。)”强调了现实条件的重要性。B选项“Real‑world conditions deserve our attention as well. (现实世界的条件同样值得我们关注。)”点明本段核心观点，引出下文对现实因素重要性的具体阐释，上下文语意连贯。 【19题详解】 上文“Many people fear possible failures brought by unusual choices. (很多人害怕不寻常的选择可能带来的失败。)”点明人们对失败的恐惧，下文“Even when things do not turn out as we hope, valuable personal growth can come along with setbacks. (即使事情没有如我们所愿发展，宝贵的个人成长也会伴随挫折而来。)”说明挫折与失败的价值。A选项“Still, failure is not completely without value. (尽管如此，失败并非完全没有价值。)”承接上文，与“人们惧怕失败”构成转折，同时引出下文对失败积极意义的论述，衔接自然。 【20题详解】 下文“There is no ready‑made answer key for our life. We weigh reality against inner wishes, and keep moving forward on the road we pick. (我们的人生没有现成的标准答案。我们权衡现实与内心的渴望，在自己选择的道路上不断前行。)”说明人生没有统一答案，要自己走好选择的路。G选项“In the end, the choice belongs to ourselves. (最终，选择权属于我们自己。)”点明本段主旨，引出下文关于自主权衡、自主前行的论述，上下文逻辑通顺。 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。 My husband Michael and I got married in Manila, my hometown in the Philippines.

We were having a great time, laughing, and running around. Suddenly, one of the kids kicked the ball a little too hard, and it flew out of the park, landing right in front of a bicycle parked by the roadside. The ball hit the bicycle, causing it to fall over and hit the ground. When we rushed over to check, we saw that the bicycle’s bell had been damaged and was no longer ringing properly. We all stood there, looking at each other in shock. “What are we going to do?” one of the kids whispered. We knew the bicycle belonged to Mr Green, who lived nearby. He was a kind man, but we were afraid he would be upset about the damage. After a moment of hesitation, we decided to try and fix the bicycle ourselves. We gathered around it, trying to figure out how to repair the bell. One of the kids suggested we use some tape to hold it in place, but it didn’t work. Another kid tried to bend the bell back into shape with his hands, but it only made things worse. We realized we needed professional help. We found the local bicycle repair shop and explained the situation to the owner, Mr Brown. He listened patiently and then took a look at the bicycle. “I can fix this for you,” he said, “but it will cost a bit of money.” We all looked at each other, worried. None of us had any money to pay for the repairs. But Mr Brown saw the concern on our faces and said, “Don’t worry, kids. I’ll fix it for free this time. Just make sure you’re more careful next time.” We thanked Mr Brown and waited anxiously while he worked on the bicycle. When he was done, he handed it back to us. We checked the bell and found it could ring clearly once again. “There you go,” he said with a smile. 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。 When we returned to the park, we saw Mr Green sitting on a bench. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr Green’s words made me relieved. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： When we returned to the park, we saw Mr Green sitting on a bench. He watched us and looked puzzled as we approached with the repaired bicycle. “What happened?” he asked. We all looked at each other, and I took a deep breath. “We accidentally kicked a soccer ball into your bicycle and broke the bell,” I said. “We took it to the repair shop and got it fixed.” Mr Green looked surprised, but then he smiled. “Thank you for being honest,” he said. “I appreciate that. And thank you for fixing it. You did the right thing.” Mr Green’s words made me relieved. I couldn’t help but reflect on how much courage it had taken to admit my mistake, and how much better I felt for having done so. As we walked away, I felt proud of myself for admitting what had happened. I realized that being honest was the right thing to do, even when it was hard. From that day on, I always remembered the lesson I had learned: Honesty is always the best policy, and sometimes, it can lead to unexpected kindness and understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个晴朗的下午，作者和邻居孩子在公园踢足球，球踢飞撞坏了格林先生的自行车铃铛。大家先尝试自己修理未果，后请自行车店的布朗先生免费修好，作者向格林先生坦白了情况，他赞赏了其的诚实。这件事让作者明白诚实是最好的原则，还能带来善意与理解。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我们回到公园时，看到格林先生正坐在长椅上”可知，第一段可描写作者向格林先生道歉，得到对方夸奖其诚实。 ②由第二段首句内容“格林先生的话让我松了一口气”可知，第二段可描写作者明白诚实是最好的原则，还能带来善意与理解。 2.续写线索：回到公园——看到格林先生——讲述事情经过——格林先生夸奖——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②导致：lead to/contribute to ③记得：remember/keep in mind 情绪类 ①困惑：puzzled/confused ②惊讶：surprised/stunned 【点睛】[高分句型1] He watched us and looked puzzled as we approached with the repaired bicycle.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] I realized that being honest was the right thing to do, even when it was hard.（运用了that引导宾语从句和动名词作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江西省上高二中2028届高二年级英语第二次阶段性练习试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将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.

B In 1996, 26-year-old Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka became Uganda’s first wildlife doctor for animals. Just nine months later, a big problem hit Uganda’s rare mountain gorillas (大猩猩). A strange skin disease spread in the forest. The gorillas lost their hair, got dry white skin, and scratched their bodies nonstop. One baby gorilla almost lost all its fur. Dr. Gladys wanted to find the cause. She asked her doctor friend about common sicknesses in poor villages nearby. They found it was scabies (疥疮) — a small bug (虫子) infection caused by bad cleanliness. Her team treated the gorillas, but the sick baby died. They found the disease came from old clothes with bugs at the park edge. This showed people’s actions made the gentle gorillas sick. “I learned we can’t protect gorillas if we don’t help the people living near them stay healthy,” Dr. Gladys said. In 2003, she started a group called Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH). This group helps over 50,000 local people. It also made Uganda’s gorilla population grow by more than 50%. Dr. Gladys loved animals when she was 8. She saw her neighbor’s monkey play the piano. “They are so much like humans,” she thought. She studied to be an animal doctor in London. In 1994, she worked at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. There, she looked into a gorilla’s eyes. The gorilla was calm and smart. She felt a strong bond with it. At that time, only 600 mountain gorillas were left in the world. She promised to save them. Now, CTPH helps villages and protects nature together. Village health workers teach people to keep clean and stop diseases. This keeps both people and gorillas healthy. “Gorilla Guardians” guide wandering gorillas safely back to the forest. They also help people who hunted illegally become park workers or farmers. Today, the results are amazing. Now, 1,049 mountain gorillas live worldwide. They are no longer “critically endangered” — only “endangered”. This is a big win for protecting animals. 4. Why did Dr. Gladys start CTPH? A. To study monkeys. B. To teach the piano. C. To build more parks. D. To help people and gorillas. 5. What inspired Dr. Gladys’ interest in animals at an early age? A. The sight of sick young gorillas losing their fur. B. A close meeting with a gorilla in the Bwindi forest. C. Lessons about wildlife protection at her London school. D. A neighbor’s monkey interacting with a musical instrument. 6. What is one duty of the “Gorilla Guardians”? A. Train local health teams on disease control. B. Help lost gorillas back to their natural habitat. C. Check villagers’ clothes for harmful tiny insects. D. Offer medical treatment for sick mountain gorillas. 7. What can we learn from Dr. Gladys’ story? A. Being a doctor is well-paid. B. Wild animals are easy to save. C. Helping people is helping nature. D. Gorillas are “critically endangered” today. C The Face-down Generation If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (发短信和自拍) to become successful in real life — or “IRL”, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8(great) and LOL(laugh out loud). 8. What is the text mainly about? A. The advantages of the “face-down generation”. B. The challenges faced by the “face-down generation”. C. Opinions and facts about the “face-down generation”. D. The lifestyle of the “face-down generation”. 9. Why are the oh-ohs regarded as the “face-down generation”? A. Because they use their phones so much. B. Because they know how to deal with school, friends and family. C. Because they are busy taking selfies to become successful. D. Because they are more interested in the world around them. 10. What would a “helicopter parent” do? A. They do everything for their kids. B. They give a lot of homework to their kids. C. They take part in many extra-curricular activities. D. They would live like teenagers even if they are adults. 11. What would the writer probably agree? A. The oh-ohs are spoilt. B. The oh-ohs need changes. C. The oh-ohs are a generation that brings hope. D. The oh-ohs are less creative than the past generations. D I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet. Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept. 13. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show? A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels. C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships. 14. Which of the following would Maimonides most likely approve of? A. Giving gifts to friends on birthdays. B. Making a large donation to a charity. C. Expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. D. Volunteering weekly at a community kitchen. 15. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Courtesy to AI saves electricity bills. B. AI improves the quality of human life. C. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior. 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。 Our life journey gets shaped by each small and big decision we make. Some paths feel comfortable while others bring struggles. ____16____ No single way of living fits every person perfectly. Too often, we judge choices only through other people’s eyes.

We were having a great time, laughing, and running around. Suddenly, one of the kids kicked the ball a little too hard, and it flew out of the park, landing right in front of a bicycle parked by the roadside. The ball hit the bicycle, causing it to fall over and hit the ground. When we rushed over to check, we saw that the bicycle’s bell had been damaged and was no longer ringing properly. We all stood there, looking at each other in shock. “What are we going to do?” one of the kids whispered. We knew the bicycle belonged to Mr Green, who lived nearby. He was a kind man, but we were afraid he would be upset about the damage. After a moment of hesitation, we decided to try and fix the bicycle ourselves. We gathered around it, trying to figure out how to repair the bell. One of the kids suggested we use some tape to hold it in place, but it didn’t work. Another kid tried to bend the bell back into shape with his hands, but it only made things worse. We realized we needed professional help. We found the local bicycle repair shop and explained the situation to the owner, Mr Brown. He listened patiently and then took a look at the bicycle. “I can fix this for you,” he said, “but it will cost a bit of money.” We all looked at each other, worried. None of us had any money to pay for the repairs. But Mr Brown saw the concern on our faces and said, “Don’t worry, kids. I’ll fix it for free this time. Just make sure you’re more careful next time.” We thanked Mr Brown and waited anxiously while he worked on the bicycle. When he was done, he handed it back to us. We checked the bell and found it could ring clearly once again. “There you go,” he said with a smile. 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。 When we returned to the park, we saw Mr Green sitting on a bench. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr Green’s words made me relieved. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
