They stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find a shelter. Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead chose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400-meter-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton. “You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable,” Peter said. In the beginning Peter and Chris set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles (瓷砖) and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018. Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. Chris, 64, said, “It was a wonderful experience, especially wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.” 4. What’s the couple’s purpose of taking the long journey? A. To break the world record. B. To try something new. C. To go across 16 countries by bike. D. To celebrate their 37-year marriage. 5. How did the couple go back to their home after the trip to China? A. By plane. B. By train. C. By bike. D. By sea. 6. Why did the couple put off their trip in 2017? A. They used up the money. B. Peter had an accident. C. They met with a heavy snow. D. Peter fell ill suddenly in Hungary. 7. What’s the best part of the trip for the couple? A. The beautiful scenes. B. The delicious food and drink. C. The help from strangers. D. The kindness from their group. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对六十多岁的夫妇彼得和克里斯从英国骑行12000英里穿越16个国家到达中国的冒险经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. (在决定“做点与众不同的事”之后，他们踏上了这段漫长的旅程)”可知，这对夫妇踏上这段漫长的旅程是为了尝试新事物。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At the journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead chose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400-meter-long container ship.

(2017年1月，彼得和克里斯最初计划从英国骑自行车出发，但被迫回家。他们一路骑自行车到匈牙利时，彼得在瓷砖上滑倒摔断了腿)”可知，这对夫妇推迟2017年的旅行是因为彼得出了事故。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. (彼得和克里斯都认为，整个旅行中最美好的部分是沿途遇到了陌生人的善意，他们中的许多人邀请这对夫妇一起吃饭和喝酒)”可知，对于这对夫妇来说，旅行中最美好的部分是陌生人的帮助。故选C。 C Memory is part of what makes us human. For those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia (痴呆症), memory loss can deeply affect their daily life and a sense of identity. According to Innovation s Magazine, a new achievement in AI-powered smart glasses technology could be transformative (有改革能力) — helping people with dementia live independently for longer and stay more connected to the people and moments that matter most. The smart glasses, created by a company called CrossSense, feature an AI companion called Wispy. Wispy guides its wearer through the day — helping them with daily tasks, such as making a cup of tea or hosting guests. Developed with input from people living with dementia, the technology can identify objects and help individuals with their routines. Szczepan Orlins, the CEO of CrossSense, told Innovations Magazine, “The technology is designed to support daily living, integrating multiple senses to simplify essential tasks. We’re grateful to the people living with dementia and their families who helped shape it.” To evaluate how well the glasses worked, they were tested on 23 people living with dementia and their carers. Without the glasses, those with dementia could name only 46 percent of household items correctly. With the glasses, they could name 82 percent. Not only that, but the improvement was maintained even after the wearers removed their glasses. These results have aided CrossSense in achieving a major milestone. It won the Longitude Prize on Dementia. The £1 million awarded will help the company bring the glasses to market. Currently, a smartphone version of the AI companion is expected later in 2026, while the glasses could become available in early 2027. It is estimated that nearly 150 million people around the world will be living with dementia by 2050. This makes it all the more important to create solutions that will allow people living with dementia to maintain independence and live full lives for as long as possible. 8. What does Szczepan Orlins say about people living with dementia? A. They rely on others to enjoy daily routines. B. They contribute to developing the technology. C. They have incredible talent in multiple senses. D. They can simplify essential tasks independently. 9. What is the current condition of the glasses? A. They haven’t gone through tests. B. They prove particularly profitable. C. They have yet to reach the market. D. They only bring short-term benefits. 10. What is the main function of the last paragraph? A. To call for more solutions to memory loss. B. To tell challenges facing people with dementia. C. To show the benefits brought to potential users. D. To highlight the significance of the achievement. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Technological Achievement Shapes Health Care B. Memory Loss Can Be Delayed by High Technology C. An AI Companion Saves People Living with Dementia D. AI-Powered Smart Glasses May Transform Dementia Care 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了一款搭载人工智能助手的智能眼镜可以帮助痴呆症患者辨识物品、打理日常，测试效果喜人，该项目赢得奖金。面对未来庞大的病患群体，这项发明对痴呆症照护意义重大。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Szczepan Orlins, the CEO of CrossSense, told Innovations Magazine, “The technology is designed to support daily living, integrating multiple senses to simplify essential tasks. We’re grateful to the people living with dementia and their families who helped shape it.”(CrossSense 的首席执行官 Szczepan Orlins 告诉《创新杂志》：“这项技术旨在助力日常生活，整合多种感知功能，简化必要的事务。我们很感谢痴呆症患者及其家属，是他们助力打造了这款产品。”)”可知，痴呆症患者为这项技术的研发作出了贡献。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The £1 million awarded will help the company bring the glasses to market. Currently, a smartphone version of the AI companion is expected later in 2026, while the glasses could become available in early 2027.(这笔一百万英镑的奖金将帮助公司把这款眼镜推向市场。目前，这款人工智能助手的手机版本预计在 2026 年晚些时候推出，而眼镜有望在 2027 年初面世)”可知，这款眼镜还没有上市。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is estimated that nearly 150 million people around the world will be living with dementia by 2050. This makes it all the more important to create solutions that will allow people living with dementia to maintain independence and live full lives for as long as possible.(据估计，到 2050 年，全球将有近 1.5 亿痴呆症患者。这使得研发相关方案，帮助痴呆症患者尽可能长久地保持独立、充实生活变得愈发重要)”可知，本段通过数据凸显这项研发成果的重大意义。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to Innovation s Magazine, a new achievement in AI-powered smart glasses technology could be transformative (有改革能力) — helping people with dementia live independently for longer and stay more connected to the people and moments that matter most.(据《创新杂志》报道，人工智能驱动的智能眼镜技术取得一项具有变革性的新成果，能够帮助痴呆症患者更长久地独立生活，并和重要的人、珍贵的时刻保持联结)”以及文章主要说明了一款搭载人工智能助手的智能眼镜可以帮助痴呆症患者辨识物品、打理日常，测试效果喜人，该项目赢得奖金。面对未来庞大的病患群体，这项发明对痴呆症照护意义重大。可知，文章主要介绍人工智能智能眼镜有望改变痴呆症照护方式。D选项“基于人工智能的智能眼镜或将改变痴呆症护理”最符合文章标题。 D A remarkable study of tropical insects found that many species may struggle to survive rising global temperatures. Scientists warn that heat stress could threaten vast numbers of insects in regions like the Amazon, possibly affecting entire ecosystems. Scientists examined the heat tolerance limits of more than 2,000 insect species. Data was collected in 2024 and 2025 across different elevations (海拔) in East Africa and South America, including cool mountain forests, tropical rainforests, and lowland savannas. The researchers also analyzed the genome (基因组) of many species to investigate protein stability and better understand why some insects can stand heat more effectively than others. The new research found that insects do not automatically adjust to hotter environments as temperatures rise. “While species at higher elevations can increase their heat tolerance, many lowland species largely lack this ability, at least in the short term,” study author Dr Kim Holzmann explains. “Rising temperatures could have a massive impact on insect populations, especially in regions with the world’s highest biodiversity,” says Dr Marcell Peters, an animal ecologist at the University of Bremen and co-author of the study. “Since insects perform central functions in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and predators, there is a threat of far-reaching consequences for entire ecosystems.” The scientists also found major differences in heat tolerance among insect groups. According to the team, these differences are connected to the structure and heat stability of proteins. “These properties are relatively conserved in the evolutionary (进化) family tree of insects and can only be changed to a limited extent,” Peters says. “The results suggest that fundamental characteristics of heat tolerance are deeply rooted in biology and cannot be quickly adapted to new climatic conditions.” Researchers say the prospect for the Amazon is especially dire. “If global ecosystems continue to warm, expected future temperatures will lead to critical heat stress for up to half of the insect species there,” Holzmann says. 12. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. Where the field trip took place.  B. How the study was carried out. C. Why the research was started.  D. What scientists have discovered. 13. What did the research find about many lowland species? A. They are relatively insensitive to climate change. B. They have a preference for hotter environments. C. They can’t adapt to rising temperatures quickly. D. They are capable of increasing their heat tolerance. 14. Why does Peters mention the family tree? A. To clarify a definition.   B. To make comparisons. C. To offer an explanation.   D. To raise further concerns. 15. What does the underlined word “dire” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Disturbing.  B. Familiar.  C. Harmonious.  D. Complicated. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于热带昆虫耐热性的研究，发现许多昆虫物种可能难以适应全球气温上升。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Scientists examined the heat tolerance limits of more than 2,000 insect species. Data was collected in 2024 and 2025 across different elevations (海拔) in East Africa and South America, including cool mountain forests, tropical rainforests, and lowland savannas. (科学家检查了2000多种昆虫的耐热极限。数据于2024年和2025年在东非和南美的不同海拔地区收集，包括凉爽的山地森林、热带雨林和低地草原。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了这项研究是如何进行的。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“‘While species at higher elevations can increase their heat tolerance, many lowland species largely lack this ability, at least in the short term,’ study author Dr Kim Holzmann explains. (研究作者Kim Holzmann博士解释道：‘虽然高海拔物种可以提高它们的耐热性，但许多低地物种在很大程度上缺乏这种能力，至少在短期内是这样。’)”可知，研究发现许多低地物种无法快速适应温度上升。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“‘These properties are relatively conserved in the evolutionary (进化) family tree of insects and can only be changed to a limited extent,’ Peters says. ‘The results suggest that fundamental characteristics of heat tolerance are deeply rooted in biology and cannot be quickly adapted to new climatic conditions.’ (Peters表示：‘这些特性在昆虫的进化家族树中相对保守，只能在有限的程度上改变。研究结果表明，耐热性的基本特征深深植根于生物学中，不能快速适应新的气候条件。’)”可知，Peters提到家族树是为了解释为什么昆虫的耐热性难以快速改变。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“‘If global ecosystems continue to warm, expected future temperatures will lead to critical heat stress for up to half of the insect species there,’ Holzmann says. (Holzmann说：‘如果全球生态系统继续变暖，预期的未来温度将导致那里多达一半的昆虫物种面临严重的热应激。’)”可知，亚马逊地区昆虫的前景尤其令人担忧，因此“dire”意为“令人不安的，可怕的”。 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。 Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another. It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties. Different from fear, joy, or anger, cheerfulness isn’t something that overcomes you. ____16____As such, you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch. Here are four ways to do so. ⚫Acknowledge the difficulties. Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality. ____17____ Instead, it’s extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing. Only by first acknowledging that things are tough will you be able to find ways to cope. ⚫Don’t focus on the negative. Whether in your personal life or in society, it’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong. But whatever you focus on, it grows. If you decide to focus on what’s going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you. ____18____ ⚫Be grateful for what you have. ____19____ Usually, they’re the things we take for granted until they’re no longer there, such as good health, a loving family, or even something as simple as a beautiful sunrise. Being grateful will shift your perspective and make it easier to see the silver linings of your problems. ⚫____20____ No cheerfulness without laughter. So you can watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, makes you feel less pain, and protects you from stress. Laughter is cathartic (精神宣泄的) and infectious. Laugh and brighten the room. A. Find your sense of humor. B. Deal with difficulties seriously. C. Focus on the good things you have. D. To a large degree, cheerfulness is a choice. E. You’re not covering your eyes and looking away. F. Acknowledge the problems, but don’t focus on them too much. G. Being cheerful changes your perspective on the world and your life. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍愉悦感的积极作用及培养愉悦感的四种实用方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“cheerfulness isn’t something that overcomes you.(愉悦感不是一种会控制你的情绪)”以及下文“As such, you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch.(因此，一旦你做出正确的心理转变，你就可以将它融入你的生活)”可知，空格处应体现愉悦感可由自己掌控。D选项“To a large degree, cheerfulness is a choice.(在很大程度上，愉悦感是一种选择)”承上启下，a choice呼应下文的make the right mental switch。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality. (愉悦感是一种诚实的情感，因为你没有逃避现实)”以及下文“Instead, it’s extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing.(相反，诚实地面对自己遇到的问题是极其重要的)”可知，空格处应进一步解释不逃避现实的具体表现。E项 “You’re not covering your eyes and looking away.(你没有捂住眼睛、视而不见)”是对上文not hiding from reality的具象化表达，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Don’t focus on the negative.(不要把注意力集中在消极的方面)”和前文“If you decide to focus on what’s going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you.(如果你决定专注于哪里出了问题，这些问题会在你的脑海中滋长，直到吞噬你)”可知，本段主要讲述了不要把注意力集中在消极的方面，专注问题会吞噬你，所以空处讲的应是不要太关注问题，F选项“Acknowledge the problems, but don’t focus on them too much.(承认问题，但不要太在意)”符合题意。故选F。 【19题详解】 根根据本段小标题“Be grateful for what you have.(感激你所拥有的)”可知，本段主要讲述的是对所拥有的事情心存感激，C选项“Focus on the good things you have.(专注于你所拥有的美好事物)”符合题意，且选项中的the good things和下文中的They指代一致。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据下文“No cheerfulness without laughter.(没有笑声，就没有愉悦感)以及“watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends.(看喜剧、刷搞笑段子、和朋友开玩笑)”可知，本段核心是通过笑声和幽默培养愉悦感。A选项 “Find your sense of humor.(找到你的幽默感)”能够概括本段主旨，sense of humor呼应下文的laughter、joke around。故选A项。 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 started helping my mom in her grocery store when I turned 18 several days ago.

My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most. I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!” “You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades." “Of course I will." I said confidently. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day. It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it. I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test. It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed. 注意： 1.续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2,续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It was like I had my own little world. So they thought we didn't communicate as much with my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study. Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different opinion towards phones. Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I' m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day. 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述了作者生日时，因为他已经12岁，并且在学校表现非常出色，父母给他一部手机作为生日礼物，作者非常的开心。他在学校炫耀手机，记下同学们的电话号码并且在课上也只关注手机，背着老师玩手机，无心听课学习。考试了，成绩一塌糊涂，他拿着成绩单让妈妈签字，妈妈既生气又失望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“意识到我失败的原因，我的父母开始不想要我有手机。”可知，第一段可描写作者的父母发现作者有手机之后的一些变化和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我开始怀疑是不是我错了。”可知，第二段可描写作者反思自己的行为后，开始放下手机，做出改变。 2.续写线索：父母抱怨——我的反思——放下手机——关注交流——改变态度 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 关注：pay attention to/focus on sth./be concerned about ②. 交流：communicate with sb./chat with sb./exchange ideas with ③. 改变：change one's mind/have a different opinion towards 情绪类 ①. 抱怨：complain/say sth. angrily/make a complaint ②. 抱歉：feel sorry/regret/feel apologetic 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B A couple Peter and Chris in their 60s have travelled 12,000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China — riding their bikes the entire way. They stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find a shelter. Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead chose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400-meter-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton. “You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable,” Peter said. In the beginning Peter and Chris set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles (瓷砖) and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018. Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. Chris, 64, said, “It was a wonderful experience, especially wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.” 4. What’s the couple’s purpose of taking the long journey? A. To break the world record. B. To try something new. C. To go across 16 countries by bike. D. To celebrate their 37-year marriage. 5. How did the couple go back to their home after the trip to China? A. By plane. B. By train. C. By bike. D. By sea. 6. Why did the couple put off their trip in 2017? A. They used up the money. B. Peter had an accident. C. They met with a heavy snow. D. Peter fell ill suddenly in Hungary. 7. What’s the best part of the trip for the couple? A. The beautiful scenes. B. The delicious food and drink. C. The help from strangers. D. The kindness from their group. C Memory is part of what makes us human. For those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia (痴呆症), memory loss can deeply affect their daily life and a sense of identity. According to Innovation s Magazine, a new achievement in AI-powered smart glasses technology could be transformative (有改革能力) — helping people with dementia live independently for longer and stay more connected to the people and moments that matter most. The smart glasses, created by a company called CrossSense, feature an AI companion called Wispy. Wispy guides its wearer through the day — helping them with daily tasks, such as making a cup of tea or hosting guests. Developed with input from people living with dementia, the technology can identify objects and help individuals with their routines. Szczepan Orlins, the CEO of CrossSense, told Innovations Magazine, “The technology is designed to support daily living, integrating multiple senses to simplify essential tasks. We’re grateful to the people living with dementia and their families who helped shape it.” To evaluate how well the glasses worked, they were tested on 23 people living with dementia and their carers. Without the glasses, those with dementia could name only 46 percent of household items correctly. With the glasses, they could name 82 percent. Not only that, but the improvement was maintained even after the wearers removed their glasses. These results have aided CrossSense in achieving a major milestone. It won the Longitude Prize on Dementia. The £1 million awarded will help the company bring the glasses to market. Currently, a smartphone version of the AI companion is expected later in 2026, while the glasses could become available in early 2027. It is estimated that nearly 150 million people around the world will be living with dementia by 2050. This makes it all the more important to create solutions that will allow people living with dementia to maintain independence and live full lives for as long as possible. 8. What does Szczepan Orlins say about people living with dementia? A. They rely on others to enjoy daily routines. B. They contribute to developing the technology. C. They have incredible talent in multiple senses. D. They can simplify essential tasks independently. 9. What is the current condition of the glasses? A. They haven’t gone through tests. B. They prove particularly profitable. C. They have yet to reach the market. D. They only bring short-term benefits. 10. What is the main function of the last paragraph? A. To call for more solutions to memory loss. B. To tell challenges facing people with dementia. C. To show the benefits brought to potential users. D. To highlight the significance of the achievement. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Technological Achievement Shapes Health Care B. Memory Loss Can Be Delayed by High Technology C. An AI Companion Saves People Living with Dementia D. AI-Powered Smart Glasses May Transform Dementia Care D A remarkable study of tropical insects found that many species may struggle to survive rising global temperatures. Scientists warn that heat stress could threaten vast numbers of insects in regions like the Amazon, possibly affecting entire ecosystems. Scientists examined the heat tolerance limits of more than 2,000 insect species. Data was collected in 2024 and 2025 across different elevations (海拔) in East Africa and South America, including cool mountain forests, tropical rainforests, and lowland savannas. The researchers also analyzed the genome (基因组) of many species to investigate protein stability and better understand why some insects can stand heat more effectively than others. The new research found that insects do not automatically adjust to hotter environments as temperatures rise. “While species at higher elevations can increase their heat tolerance, many lowland species largely lack this ability, at least in the short term,” study author Dr Kim Holzmann explains. “Rising temperatures could have a massive impact on insect populations, especially in regions with the world’s highest biodiversity,” says Dr Marcell Peters, an animal ecologist at the University of Bremen and co-author of the study. “Since insects perform central functions in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and predators, there is a threat of far-reaching consequences for entire ecosystems.” The scientists also found major differences in heat tolerance among insect groups. According to the team, these differences are connected to the structure and heat stability of proteins. “These properties are relatively conserved in the evolutionary (进化) family tree of insects and can only be changed to a limited extent,” Peters says. “The results suggest that fundamental characteristics of heat tolerance are deeply rooted in biology and cannot be quickly adapted to new climatic conditions.” Researchers say the prospect for the Amazon is especially dire. “If global ecosystems continue to warm, expected future temperatures will lead to critical heat stress for up to half of the insect species there,” Holzmann says. 12. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. Where the field trip took place.  B. How the study was carried out. C. Why the research was started.  D. What scientists have discovered. 13. What did the research find about many lowland species? A. They are relatively insensitive to climate change. B. They have a preference for hotter environments. C. They can’t adapt to rising temperatures quickly. D. They are capable of increasing their heat tolerance. 14. Why does Peters mention the family tree? A. To clarify a definition.   B. To make comparisons. C. To offer an explanation.   D. To raise further concerns. 15. What does the underlined word “dire” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Disturbing.  B. Familiar.  C. Harmonious.  D. Complicated. 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。 Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another. It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties. Different from fear, joy, or anger, cheerfulness isn’t something that overcomes you. ____16____As such, you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch. Here are four ways to do so. ⚫Acknowledge the difficulties. Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality. ____17____ Instead, it’s extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing. Only by first acknowledging that things are tough will you be able to find ways to cope. ⚫Don’t focus on the negative.

My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most. I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!” “You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades." “Of course I will." I said confidently. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day. It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it. I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test. It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed. 注意： 1.续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2,续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
