This month we look at how museums and galleries are drawing attention to the legacies of Land Art and the way nature impacts on art. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, Land Art invites artists to create work situated within the landscape and use natural materials. Originating in America, it later became popular in Britain. Artists like Richard Long and Andy Goldsworthy inspire people to reconsider human-nature relations. Today, many artists draw inspiration from nature to reflect on issues such as pollution, climate change and land use. Brief introductions Andy Goldsworthy | Fifty Years is the artist’s largest indoor display, with more than 200 works. Goldsworthy is good at using natural materials such as clay, leaves and stones. Visitors can view records of Goldsworthy’s 50-year creative career in the downstairs galleries. Millet: Life on the Land is held to mark the 150th anniversary of French artist Jean-François Millet’s death. It features his realistic and poetic paintings of countryside labourers, such as farmers and shepherds (牧羊人). After Nature is set against the background of environmental crisis. It brings together artists using natural materials and exploring the complex relationship between art and technology.

B A school resource officer turned a failed summer field trip into an unforgettable memory for over 140 poor middle school students in Phoenix. When the funding for the end-of-summer movie trip was unexpectedly cancelled, program organizer Katie Jenkins was at a loss. She turned to Officer Sean Reavie for help. Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School’s after-school program. He also covered snacks including popcorn, candies and drinks for the private screening of Toy Story 5. For most kids, this was their very first time stepping into a movie theatre. The whole rental cost less than $2,000, yet the experience meant far more to these teenagers. Reavie said he would spare more money if needed, for he believed adults must never break promises made to children. Greenway is a Title I school, where most students come from financially disadvantaged families. Many have no private cars, and their parents hold several low-paying jobs to make ends meet. Half of these kids have never visited a water park, let alone travelled across the nearby highway. Reavie has kept helping kids with his own money year after year. Last summer, he spent over $3,000 taking students to a local water park. Inspired by children’s fondness for superheroes. he also founded a charity called Put On The Cape: A Foundation For Hope, aiming to bring warmth to more troubled youngsters. Before the movie rolled, Reavie shared a heartfelt wish with all the kids: grow up and pay it forward. He expected nothing material in return, hoping this single act of generosity would plant seeds of kindness that would bloom for years to come. 4. Why did Jenkins ask Reavie for help? A. She lost the tickets for the movie trip. B. She lacked money for the planned trip. C. The snacks prepared were far from enough. D. The ticket prices had risen beyond the budget. 5. Why did the author mention students’ family backgrounds in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the backwardness of local education. B. To explain the expenses a family covered for the trip. C. To highlight the great value of the experience for kids. D. To praise Reavie for what he had done for the school. 6. Which of the following can best describe Reavie? A. Generous and warm-hearted. B. Devoted and patient. C. Modest and open-minded. D. Independent and reliable. 7. What was Reavie’s expectation for the kids? A. To hold on to their dreams. B. To treasure every moment in life. C. To seek personal material rewards. D. To pass on kindness to more people. C We have all experienced those moments when we desperately want to be understood. It’s human nature to seek connection, empathy and acceptance from those around us. Yet, in our pursuit (追求) of understanding, have we overlooked the surprising power of being misunderstood? A conversation with Marie-Catherine Mignault, a researcher in organizational behavior at Cornell University, uncovered an interesting perspective on emotional understanding. Mignault’s study highlights the significance of emotional understanding in relationships. She emphasizes that feeling understood by someone is a powerful force that builds trust, connection and emotional support. While feeling understood is always desired, being misunderstood can lead to personal growth and creativity. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to face our own uniqueness. Mignault’s research raises an interesting question: Could embracing this discomfort lead to personal transformation? A study published in Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience highlights the various emotional responses that humans naturally feel in response to misunderstanding, including feelings of hurt, jealousy, loneliness, guilt, anxiety and sadness. These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth. Feeling hurt when our connections seem undervalued forces us to pause and reflect. It’s a chance for us to react in a better way, ensuring that our relationships are truly appreciated. Jealousy can be a powerful force for self-improvement. It motivates us to protect and safeguard our relationships, ensuring they remain strong and secure. Loneliness, while unsettling, acts as a driving force for social re-engagement. It’s a gentle push, reminding us to reach out to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. These connections, in turn, fuel our personal growth. Guilt and shame make us reflect on our actions, encouraging us to make amends (弥补错误) and maintain the connections we value. Anxiety can act as a driver of personal improvement. It inspires us to make the best possible impressions and go the extra mile to be our finest selves. Sadness can inspire us to act. It encourages us to regain control over our lives and give other emotions like joy and curiosity a fair chance. In a word, misunderstanding doesn’t have to be a setback. Instead, it can motivate us to explore our perspectives and uncover new insights and creative solutions. 8. What is the real value of misunderstanding according to the text? A. It continuously maintains relationships. B. It replaces emotional needs for protection. C. It saves us the trouble of meeting people. D. It drives self-reflection and transformation. 9. According to the research, what function does guilt have? A. It helps leave the best impression. B. It encourages defensive behavior. C. It enhances efforts to repair valued relationships. D. It prevents individuals from being further hurt. 10. How do people transform anxiety into a positive force? A. By motivating self-improvement. B. By lowering social expectations. C. By showing emotional expressions. D. By removing all sources of stress. 11. What can be concluded about misunderstanding according to the text? A. It’s a feeling about bad relationships. B. It’s a way of destroying relationships. C. It’s an opportunity for personal growth. D. It’s an access to social communication. D Today, Mars is a cold and dry desert. But there is evidence that billions of years ago, it had a thick atmosphere and liquid water, making it a promising place to look for signs of past life. The mudstones, found in a dusty riverbed by NASA’s Perseverance Rover, are dotted with interesting markings named leopard spots and poppy seeds. Scientists believe these features contain minerals produced by chemical reactions that could be associated with ancient Martian microbes (微生物). The Perseverance Rover, which touched down on the Martian surface in 2021, was sent to search for signs of biology. It has spent the last four years exploring a region called the Jezero Crater, which was once an ancient lake with a river flowing into it. The rover found the leopard print rocks last year. They are about 3.5 billion years old and are a type of rock called mudstone, which is fine-grained rock formed from clays. The rover used several instruments in its onboard lab to analyze the minerals in the rocks. This data was then sent back to Earth for scientists to study. In similar conditions on Earth, chemical reactions that produce these minerals are typically driven by microbes. At a press conference, NASA said the features could be the clearest signs of past life yet found on Mars. However, the minerals could also have formed through geological processes without the involvement of microbes. The only way to fully confirm if the minerals were made by microbes would be to bring the rocks back to Earth for analysis. A Mars sample return mission has been proposed by NASA but its future looks highly uncertain. The US Space Agency’s science budget is facing huge cuts that have been put forward in President Trump’s 2026 budget and a sample return mission is one of those facing cancellation. NASA’s plans for such an effort hang in the balance because of the threatened budget cuts, but China is also pursuing a sample return mission that could launch in 2028. While the decision is debated, scientists are desperate to get their gloved hands on the rocks. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By drawing a contrast. B. By using an example. C. By asking a question. D. By citing an opinion. 13. What is the role of the Perseverance Rover according to the passage? A. It sent back the rock samples. B. It performed the entire analysis. C. It confirms the biological origin. D. It serves as a mobile laboratory. 14. What does paragraph 3 suggest about the minerals? A. They prove that microbes still live on Mars. B. Their formation has only one possible explanation. C. Their biological origin remains unconfirmed. D. They cannot form through geological processes. 15. What puts NASA’s Mars sample return mission at risk? A. The loss of contact with the rover. B. Proposed cuts to its science budget. C. A shortage of suitable rock samples. D. The failure of the onboard instruments. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The holiday season brings joy, feasts, and stress that can upset your digestion.

It’s perfectly fine to choose the foods you love. What matters is how you balance them: accompany richer dishes and sweets with plenty of colorful vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Sample small portions of various foods rather than overindulging in one, and be cautious with sugary, highly processed treats which are easy to overeat and can trigger issues.

C. Keeping relaxed matters a lot to stomach health. D. Doing so turns eating into a more enjoyable experience. E. Many people ignore the link between diet and stomach trouble. F.

His mom looked at him with anger, reminding him of all the meals she had lovingly prepared. But the haughty teen shook his head, laughing, and refused to even wash his plate. When his mother asked him to do it, Wesley crossed his arms. “Why should I? I’m not your slave! You don’t pay me, do you? Work without pay is slavery!” His dad frowned, pointing out that they housed, fed, clothed, and educated him. However, Wesley insisted that those were their legal duties, whereas he had no responsibility to do them for free. “If you want me to do things around here, you’d better pay me!” he demanded proudly. Instead of getting angry, Wesley’s dad smiled calmly and agreed to his son’s terms. He set up a price list: $1 for taking out the trash, $2 for washing dishes, $4 for walking the dog, $5 for cleaning his room, and $10 for mowing the lawn (修剪草坪). Wesley was joyful, believing he was about to get rich. Little did he know, he was walking straight into a trap. Starting that very evening, the tables were turned. When Wesley complained of hunger, his parents calmly informed him that since he was now earning his own money, he had to support himself. If he wanted his mother’s cooking, he had to pay for it. Shocked and annoyed, Wesley had to draw from his poor savings to order an expensive pizza. The next morning brought a series of defeats. His mother charged him for breakfast and for washing and ironing his clothes while his father charged him for a ride to school and expected him to pay for his own team uniforms out of his earnings. Facing mounting “expenses,” Wesley soon realized that being an “independent man” was completely unaffordable. He walked to school late, exhausted, and desperately missing home-cooked meals. That night, Wesley came down to the kitchen, looking upset as the delicious smell of dinner filled the air. “Mom, dad?” he said quietly. “Can we talk?” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Wesley’s dad smiled gently and looked at his tearful son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Wesley woke up and walked straight to the kitchen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年下期高二英语11月文化核心素养测试 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

When the funding for the end-of-summer movie trip was unexpectedly cancelled, program organizer Katie Jenkins was at a loss. She turned to Officer Sean Reavie for help. Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School’s after-school program. He also covered snacks including popcorn, candies and drinks for the private screening of Toy Story 5. For most kids, this was their very first time stepping into a movie theatre. The whole rental cost less than $2,000, yet the experience meant far more to these teenagers. Reavie said he would spare more money if needed, for he believed adults must never break promises made to children. Greenway is a Title I school, where most students come from financially disadvantaged families. Many have no private cars, and their parents hold several low-paying jobs to make ends meet. Half of these kids have never visited a water park, let alone travelled across the nearby highway. Reavie has kept helping kids with his own money year after year. Last summer, he spent over $3,000 taking students to a local water park. Inspired by children’s fondness for superheroes. he also founded a charity called Put On The Cape: A Foundation For Hope, aiming to bring warmth to more troubled youngsters. Before the movie rolled, Reavie shared a heartfelt wish with all the kids: grow up and pay it forward. He expected nothing material in return, hoping this single act of generosity would plant seeds of kindness that would bloom for years to come. 4. Why did Jenkins ask Reavie for help? A. She lost the tickets for the movie trip. B. She lacked money for the planned trip. C. The snacks prepared were far from enough. D. The ticket prices had risen beyond the budget. 5. Why did the author mention students’ family backgrounds in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the backwardness of local education. B. To explain the expenses a family covered for the trip. C. To highlight the great value of the experience for kids. D. To praise Reavie for what he had done for the school. 6. Which of the following can best describe Reavie? A. Generous and warm-hearted. B. Devoted and patient. C. Modest and open-minded. D. Independent and reliable. 7. What was Reavie’s expectation for the kids? A. To hold on to their dreams. B. To treasure every moment in life. C. To seek personal material rewards. D. To pass on kindness to more people. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述的是凤凰城一名学校资源警官Sean Reavie自掏腰包帮助贫困中学生实现电影之旅的故事，展现了他的善良与慷慨。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the funding for the end-of-summer movie trip was unexpectedly cancelled, program organizer Katie Jenkins was at a loss. She turned to Officer Sean Reavie for help. Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School’s after-school program. (当暑期末电影之旅的资金被意外取消时，项目组织者Katie Jenkins不知所措。她向Sean Reavie警官求助。Reavie毫不犹豫地自掏腰包，为格林威中学课后项目中的144名七年级和八年级学生包下了整个电影院。)”可知，Jenkins向Reavie求助是因为她缺乏计划旅行所需的资金。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The whole rental cost less than $2,000, yet the experience meant far more to these teenagers. (虽然总共租赁花销少于2000美金，但这段经历对这些青少年来说是意义非凡的。)”以及“Greenway is a Title I school, where most students come from financially disadvantaged families. Many have no private cars, and their parents hold several low-paying jobs to make ends meet. Half of these kids have never visited a water park, let alone travelled across the nearby highway. (格林威是一所Title I学校，大多数学生来自经济困难家庭。许多人没有私家车，他们的父母打几份低薪工作来维持生计。这些孩子中有一半从未去过水上公园，更不用说穿过附近的高速公路了。)”可知，这段经历对孩子们来说很有价值。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School’s after-school program. (Reavie毫不犹豫地自掏腰包，为格林威中学课后项目中的144名七年级和八年级学生包下了整个电影院。)”以及第四段“Reavie has kept helping kids with his own money year after year. Last summer, he spent over $3,000 taking students to a local water park. (Reavie年复一年地用自己的钱帮助孩子们。去年夏天，他花了3000多美元带学生去当地的水上公园。)”可知，Reavie是一个慷慨且热心的人。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Before the movie rolled, Reavie shared a heartfelt wish with all the kids: grow up and pay it forward. He expected nothing material in return, hoping this single act of generosity would plant seeds of kindness that would bloom for years to come. (电影开始播放前，Reavie向所有孩子们道出了自己的衷心祝愿：长大后要把这份善意传递下去。他不期望任何物质上的回报，只希望这一次慷慨之举能种下善意的种子，在未来的岁月里生根发芽、绽放开花。)”可知，Reavie期望孩子们能像他一样做善事，将善意传递给更多人。 C We have all experienced those moments when we desperately want to be understood. It’s human nature to seek connection, empathy and acceptance from those around us. Yet, in our pursuit (追求) of understanding, have we overlooked the surprising power of being misunderstood? A conversation with Marie-Catherine Mignault, a researcher in organizational behavior at Cornell University, uncovered an interesting perspective on emotional understanding. Mignault’s study highlights the significance of emotional understanding in relationships. She emphasizes that feeling understood by someone is a powerful force that builds trust, connection and emotional support. While feeling understood is always desired, being misunderstood can lead to personal growth and creativity. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to face our own uniqueness. Mignault’s research raises an interesting question: Could embracing this discomfort lead to personal transformation? A study published in Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience highlights the various emotional responses that humans naturally feel in response to misunderstanding, including feelings of hurt, jealousy, loneliness, guilt, anxiety and sadness. These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth. Feeling hurt when our connections seem undervalued forces us to pause and reflect. It’s a chance for us to react in a better way, ensuring that our relationships are truly appreciated. Jealousy can be a powerful force for self-improvement. It motivates us to protect and safeguard our relationships, ensuring they remain strong and secure. Loneliness, while unsettling, acts as a driving force for social re-engagement. It’s a gentle push, reminding us to reach out to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. These connections, in turn, fuel our personal growth. Guilt and shame make us reflect on our actions, encouraging us to make amends (弥补错误) and maintain the connections we value. Anxiety can act as a driver of personal improvement. It inspires us to make the best possible impressions and go the extra mile to be our finest selves. Sadness can inspire us to act. It encourages us to regain control over our lives and give other emotions like joy and curiosity a fair chance. In a word, misunderstanding doesn’t have to be a setback. Instead, it can motivate us to explore our perspectives and uncover new insights and creative solutions. 8. What is the real value of misunderstanding according to the text? A. It continuously maintains relationships. B. It replaces emotional needs for protection. C. It saves us the trouble of meeting people. D. It drives self-reflection and transformation. 9. According to the research, what function does guilt have? A. It helps leave the best impression. B. It encourages defensive behavior. C. It enhances efforts to repair valued relationships. D. It prevents individuals from being further hurt. 10. How do people transform anxiety into a positive force? A. By motivating self-improvement. B. By lowering social expectations. C. By showing emotional expressions. D. By removing all sources of stress. 11. What can be concluded about misunderstanding according to the text? A. It’s a feeling about bad relationships. B. It’s a way of destroying relationships. C. It’s an opportunity for personal growth. D. It’s an access to social communication. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了情感理解在人际关系中的重要性，认为误解不一定是挫折，相反，它能激励我们探索自身观点，发现新见解与创造性解决方案。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“While feeling understood is always desired, being misunderstood can lead to personal growth and creativity. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to face our own uniqueness.(虽然被理解总是令人渴望，但被误解也能促进个人成长和激发创造力。它迫使我们走出舒适区，直面自身的独特之处。)”和第四段“These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth.(这些情绪可以成为个人成长的驱动力。)”可知，被误解可以迫使我们走出舒适区，进行自我反思、成长和转变。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Guilt and shame make us reflect on our actions, encouraging us to make amends and maintain the connections we value.(弥补错误) and maintain the connections we value.(内疚和羞愧促使我们反思自己的行为，鼓励我们弥补错误并维系我们所珍视的关系。)”可知，内疚可以使我们更加努力地修复我们所珍视的关系。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“Anxiety can act as a driver of personal improvement. It inspires us to make the best possible impressions and go the extra mile to be our finest selves.(焦虑可以成为个人进步的动力。它激励我们努力留下最佳印象，付出更多努力成为最好的自己。)”可知，人们会通过激励自己努力自我提升和进步，从而成为最好的自己的方式，将焦虑转变成一种积极的力量。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth.(这些情绪可以成为个人成长的驱动力。)”和最后一段“In a word, misunderstanding doesn’t have to be a setback. Instead, it can motivate us to explore our perspectives and uncover new insights and creative solutions.(总之，误解不一定是挫折。相反，它可以激励我们探索自己的观点，发现新的见解和创造性的解决方案。)”可推知，误解可以推动个人成长，是个人成长的机会。故选C。 D Today, Mars is a cold and dry desert. But there is evidence that billions of years ago, it had a thick atmosphere and liquid water, making it a promising place to look for signs of past life. The mudstones, found in a dusty riverbed by NASA’s Perseverance Rover, are dotted with interesting markings named leopard spots and poppy seeds. Scientists believe these features contain minerals produced by chemical reactions that could be associated with ancient Martian microbes (微生物). The Perseverance Rover, which touched down on the Martian surface in 2021, was sent to search for signs of biology. It has spent the last four years exploring a region called the Jezero Crater, which was once an ancient lake with a river flowing into it. The rover found the leopard print rocks last year. They are about 3.5 billion years old and are a type of rock called mudstone, which is fine-grained rock formed from clays. The rover used several instruments in its onboard lab to analyze the minerals in the rocks. This data was then sent back to Earth for scientists to study. In similar conditions on Earth, chemical reactions that produce these minerals are typically driven by microbes. At a press conference, NASA said the features could be the clearest signs of past life yet found on Mars. However, the minerals could also have formed through geological processes without the involvement of microbes. The only way to fully confirm if the minerals were made by microbes would be to bring the rocks back to Earth for analysis. A Mars sample return mission has been proposed by NASA but its future looks highly uncertain. The US Space Agency’s science budget is facing huge cuts that have been put forward in President Trump’s 2026 budget and a sample return mission is one of those facing cancellation. NASA’s plans for such an effort hang in the balance because of the threatened budget cuts, but China is also pursuing a sample return mission that could launch in 2028. While the decision is debated, scientists are desperate to get their gloved hands on the rocks. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By drawing a contrast. B. By using an example. C. By asking a question. D. By citing an opinion. 13. What is the role of the Perseverance Rover according to the passage? A. It sent back the rock samples. B. It performed the entire analysis. C. It confirms the biological origin. D. It serves as a mobile laboratory. 14. What does paragraph 3 suggest about the minerals? A. They prove that microbes still live on Mars. B. Their formation has only one possible explanation. C. Their biological origin remains unconfirmed. D. They cannot form through geological processes. 15. What puts NASA’s Mars sample return mission at risk? A. The loss of contact with the rover. B. Proposed cuts to its science budget. C. A shortage of suitable rock samples. D. The failure of the onboard instruments. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了美国国家航天局毅力号火星车发现疑似关联古微生物的特殊泥岩矿物，其生物存疑，美国取样返回计划因预算削减悬而未决，中国也在推进相关任务。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Today, Mars is a cold and dry desert. But there is evidence that billions of years ago, it had a thick atmosphere and liquid water, making it a promising place to look for signs of past life.(如今，火星是一片寒冷干燥的沙漠。但有证据表明，数十亿年前这里曾拥有浓厚的大气层和液态水，因此是寻找过去生命迹象的理想地点)”可知，先介绍如今火星是寒冷干燥的荒漠，又对比指出数十亿年前火星可能有很厚的大气层和液态水，是通过今昔对比的方式引出话题。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The rover used several instruments in its onboard lab to analyze the minerals in the rocks. This data was then sent back to Earth for scientists to study.(该探测器利用其机载实验室中的多种仪器分析了这些岩石中的矿物质，随后将数据传回地球供科学家研究)”可知，毅力号火星车搭载多台机载实验室仪器分析岩石矿物，之后把数据传回地球供科学家研究，它相当于移动实验室。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At a press conference, NASA said the features could be the clearest signs of past life yet found on Mars. However, the minerals could also have formed through geological processes without the involvement of microbes.(在一次新闻发布会上，美国国家航空航天局表示，这些特征可能是迄今为止在火星上发现的最清晰的过去生命迹象。然而，这些矿物也可能通过地质过程形成，而无需微生物参与)”可知，这些矿物既可能由微生物活动产生，也可能通过无微生物参与的地质过程形成，因此它们的生物起源还没有被完全证实。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The US Space Agency’s science budget is facing huge cuts that have been put forward in President Trump’s 2026 budget and a sample return mission is one of those facing cancellation.(美国航天局的科学预算正面临大幅削减，这一情况已在特朗普总统2026年预算中被提出，其中一次样本返回任务也面临取消)”及最后一段“NASA’s plans for such an effort hang in the balance because of the threatened budget cuts, but China is also pursuing a sample return mission that could launch in 2028.(由于面临预算削减的威胁，美航天局此类计划目前处于悬而未决的状态，但中国也在推进一项可能于2028年发射的样本返回任务)”可知，特朗普2026年预算提案中提出的NASA科学预算大幅削减，是火星样本返回任务面临取消的风险原因。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The holiday season brings joy, feasts, and stress that can upset your digestion.

It’s perfectly fine to choose the foods you love. What matters is how you balance them: accompany richer dishes and sweets with plenty of colorful vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Sample small portions of various foods rather than overindulging in one, and be cautious with sugary, highly processed treats which are easy to overeat and can trigger issues.(把节日饮食当作一种庆祝，而不是内疚的来源。选择你喜欢的食物完全没有问题。重要的是你如何平衡它们：让更丰盛的菜肴和甜食搭配大量色彩丰富的蔬菜、瘦肉蛋白和全谷物。尝试少量品尝各种食物，而不是暴饮暴食某一种，并且要谨慎对待含糖的、高度加工的零食，这些食物容易吃过量并可能引发问题)”阐述了节日饮食应明智选择、注重平衡与适量。A选项“Enjoy the festive foods wisely.(明智地享受节日食物)”准确概括了本段主旨，与下文中的balance them、small portions、be cautious相呼应。 【18题详解】 上文“Eat bite by bite and pay attention to your body’s fullness signals.

This simple practice helps prevent the uncomfortable over-fullness that often follows holiday feasts.(一口一口地吃，留意你身体的饱腹信号。当你感到满足时就停下来，而不是吃到撑。这个简单做法有助于预防节日大餐后经常出现的那种不舒服的过饱感)”介绍了细嚼慢咽、及时停食的做法及其好处 —— 避免过饱不适，D选项“Doing so turns eating into a more enjoyable experience.(这样做把进食变成一种更愉快的体验)”承接上文，Doing so指代上文bite by bite and pay attention to your body’s fullness signals这一做法，进一步说明细嚼慢咽带来的另一好处 —— 让进食更愉快，是对上文做法好处的递进补充。 【19题详解】 上文“A post-meal walk is highly beneficial. It kicks off digestion, helps clear gas, and regulates blood sugar — even a short walk helps.(饭后散步非常有益。它启动消化，帮助排出气体，并调节血糖 —— 即使是很短的散步也有帮助)”介绍了饭后散步的多种益处，G选项“Unlike intense exercise, this gentle activity is suitable for almost everyone.(与剧烈运动不同，这种温和的活动几乎适合所有人)”承接上文，this gentle activity指代上文的a post-meal walk，将饭后散步与剧烈运动对比，说明散步的温和性和普适性。 【20题详解】 上文“Holiday stress directly impacts your stomach. Protect the basics: sleep, movement, nutrition, and relaxation. Practices like diaphragmatic breathing (腹式呼吸) can also improve stomach function and ease stress. (节日压力直接影响你的胃。保护好基础要素：睡眠、运动、营养和放松。像腹式呼吸这样的练习也能改善胃功能并缓解压力)”阐述了压力对胃的影响以及放松方式的作用，C选项“Keeping relaxed matters a lot to stomach health.(保持放松对胃部健康非常重要)”承接上文，总结强调放松与胃部健康的密切关系，呼应本段小标题“Manage stress for your stomach (为你的胃部管理压力)”，是对上文内容的归纳升华。 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。 I log onto a computer at the doctor’s office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.

His mom looked at him with anger, reminding him of all the meals she had lovingly prepared. But the haughty teen shook his head, laughing, and refused to even wash his plate. When his mother asked him to do it, Wesley crossed his arms. “Why should I? I’m not your slave! You don’t pay me, do you? Work without pay is slavery!” His dad frowned, pointing out that they housed, fed, clothed, and educated him. However, Wesley insisted that those were their legal duties, whereas he had no responsibility to do them for free. “If you want me to do things around here, you’d better pay me!” he demanded proudly. Instead of getting angry, Wesley’s dad smiled calmly and agreed to his son’s terms. He set up a price list: $1 for taking out the trash, $2 for washing dishes, $4 for walking the dog, $5 for cleaning his room, and $10 for mowing the lawn (修剪草坪). Wesley was joyful, believing he was about to get rich. Little did he know, he was walking straight into a trap. Starting that very evening, the tables were turned. When Wesley complained of hunger, his parents calmly informed him that since he was now earning his own money, he had to support himself. If he wanted his mother’s cooking, he had to pay for it. Shocked and annoyed, Wesley had to draw from his poor savings to order an expensive pizza. The next morning brought a series of defeats. His mother charged him for breakfast and for washing and ironing his clothes while his father charged him for a ride to school and expected him to pay for his own team uniforms out of his earnings. Facing mounting “expenses,” Wesley soon realized that being an “independent man” was completely unaffordable. He walked to school late, exhausted, and desperately missing home-cooked meals. That night, Wesley came down to the kitchen, looking upset as the delicious smell of dinner filled the air. “Mom, dad?” he said quietly. “Can we talk?” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Wesley’s dad smiled gently and looked at his tearful son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Wesley woke up and walked straight to the kitchen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Wesley’s dad smiled gently and looked at his tearful son. He softly reminded him that true family affection could never be bought or measured by money. Hearing this, Wesley felt a deep wave of shame and nodded, finally realizing how selfish and ignorant he had been before. He whispered a sincere apology, acknowledging that all the care his parents gave was driven by pure love rather than cold duty. Looking into their eyes, he solemnly promised that he would take on all his daily chores voluntarily from then on, asking for nothing in return. The next morning, Wesley woke up and walked straight to the kitchen. Seeing his mother busy preparing a delicious breakfast, he stepped forward without any hesitation to help set the table and wash the dishes. His parents exchanged a warm and pleased smile as they witnessed his sincere practical actions. Wesley finally understood that sharing responsibilities and caring for each other was the true foundation of a happy home, and sweet family harmony was completely restored. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述Wesley不愿无偿做家务，要求父母付钱才干活。父母顺势答应，同时各项家庭服务向他收费。高昂花费让他体会到独立不易，他醒悟道歉，主动承担家务，懂得亲情不能用金钱衡量。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写爸爸温和开导Wesley，Wesley心生愧疚，向父母诚恳道歉并承诺自愿分担家务。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写Wesley一早主动帮忙准备早餐、做家务，用行动兑现承诺，明白家庭需要互相分担、彼此关爱。 2. 续写线索：醒悟羞愧→诚恳道歉→许下承诺→晨起行动→帮忙家务→懂得亲情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②理解：understand/comprehend 情绪类 ①真诚的：sincere/genuine ②高兴的：pleased/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】He whispered a sincere apology, acknowledging that all the care his parents gave was driven by pure love rather than cold duty.(运用了that引导的宾语从句，省略that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】His parents exchanged a warm and pleased smile as they witnessed his sincere practical actions. (运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
