A 【解析】 【原文】As a young child, I always enjoyed physical challenges more than mental ones. I liked to run and build swings. At that stage, I hadn’t yet learned to climb or swim, but I would have loved to try those two. One day, we had a physical education class at school. We did the long jump and handstands, but it was when I tried to do a forward roll, the disaster struck. Somehow, I twisted my neck in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly, and the teachers were very concerned. An ambulance was called, and I was taken to a hospital. The doctors fitted me with a collar, and I was told to avoid exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first, I was very bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf at home. I wasn’t interested in love stories. I avoided those, but crime and adventure did appeal to me. During those eight weeks, I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my collar was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to devote more time to my new love — reading. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The following are a series of new parks that have opened around the world in the last five years.

Most people, caught in the rush of daily life, would look away, walk faster, or hold their bags tightly. Some might drop a few coins into a cup, but rarely stop to talk or even make eye contact. Brian Peterson used to be one of them. One evening, Peterson was completely lost in a book, feeling as if the words were speaking directly to his heart, when the loud and familiar singing from the street outside broke the silence. In the past, he would have closed the window, ignoring it. But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. He learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris, a musician from Kentucky who came to California to chase his dream, yet ended up living on the street for a decade. Inspired by Faris’ story, Peterson, an art school graduate, offered to paint his portrait. This small gesture gave birth to Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization devoted to painting portraits of unhoused individuals. Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories. As public interest in the portraits grew, Peterson, the founder of the organization, began selling the large, signed paintings for thousands of dollars. Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. Some used the funds for food or medical care, while Faris used his to record an album and continue the musical career. Over eight years, the project expanded. What began with a simple conversation has grown into Faces of Mankind, a nationwide collective of artists. It turns out that true kindness can turn invisible souls into visible hope. 24. What can be the title of the book mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Warm Bonds: Love Around Us B. Joint Efforts Lead to Success C. Fortune Rises and Falls in Life D. Painters’ Tips for Creative Works 25. What is the feature of Peterson’s paintings? A. Voicing painters’ own feelings. B. Reflecting people’s social status. C. Applying pencil-drawing styles. D. Capturing people’s inner worlds. 26. How does Faces of Santa Ana help the homeless? A. By offering financial support. B. By teaching them painting skills. C. By recording albums for them. D. By raising money from the public. 27. What message does the text try to convey? A. Artists can change society easily. B. Small kindness can create powerful hope. C. The poor should fight for their own dreams. D. Books may completely change one’s life attitude. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Brian Peterson为无家可归者画肖像并帮助他们的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. (但今晚，受到书中关于爱与联结的信息的激励，他鼓起勇气，走出去开始了一段对话。)”可知，这本书的主题是关于爱与联结的。因此，这本书的标题最有可能是“温暖的纽带：我们周围的爱”。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories. (使用鲜艳的色彩，Peterson旨在捕捉的不仅仅是他们的外表，还有他们独特的个性、情感和未被讲述的人生故事。)”可知，Peterson画作的特点是捕捉人们的内心世界。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. (一半的利润被存入每个对象的爱心账户，使他们能够改善自己的处境。)”可知，Faces of Santa Ana通过提供经济支持来帮助无家可归者。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It turns out that true kindness can turn invisible souls into visible hope. (事实证明，真正的善良可以将看不见的灵魂变成看得见的希望。)”可知，本文想要传达的信息是小小的善举可以创造强大的希望。 C Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, many studies link humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance and aggressiveness. In psychology, we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life also helps people better manage stress and challenges. Funny people amuse others and laugh more themselves. Such laughter causes brain changes, which may explain the humour-intelligence connection. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only makes us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working memory. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and aids learning. Many leaders use it to enhance group work and organisational culture. Studies of positive organisations suggest the more fun we have at work, the more productive we are, and the less likely we are to suffer burn-out. Educational research also supports that humour is an effective aid to learning. Studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students’ comprehension and recall of the topic. 28. What do Austrian researchers find? A. Humorous people are always sensitive. B. Funny people usually own sharper minds. C. Dark humour is most popular among people. D. People lacking humour tend to be aggressive. 29. What effect does dopamine have on our brain? A. It weakens our ability to remember information. B. It stops people from experiencing happy feelings. C. It improves our ways to think and solve problems. D. It helps produce more neural connections in the brain. 30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”? A. Clarify. B. Unite. C. Strengthen. D. Distribute. 31. What is the advantage of humorous lessons for students? A. They encourage students to find fun in life. B. They help students form good learning habits. C. They offer students more after-school activities. D. They improve students’ understanding and memory. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了幽默感与智力之间的关系，以及幽默对个人认知、工作和学习的积极影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers in Austria discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. (奥地利研究人员发现，风趣的人，尤其是喜欢黑色幽默的人，比不太风趣的人智商更高。)”可知，奥地利研究人员发现风趣的人通常拥有更敏锐的头脑。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dopamine not only makes us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. (多巴胺不仅让我们感觉很好，它还打开了大脑的学习中心，从而使更多的神经连接得以形成和维持。因此，我们的思维变得更加灵活和富有创造力，也更善于解决问题。)”可知，多巴胺改善了我们的思维方式和解决问题的能力。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. (证据表明，幽默实际上能bolster自信、能力和地位感，使风趣的人非常有影响力。)”可知，划线词后文提到了自信、能力与地位感，让风趣的人很有影响力，因此bolster表示“增强、提升”含义。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students’ comprehension and recall of the topic. (研究表明，以幽默方式授课的课程对学生来说更有趣，而且能提高学生对该主题的理解和记忆。)”可知，幽默授课的优势在于提高学生的理解和记忆能力。 D Modern urban living exposes people to increasing artificial light at night known as light pollution. While bright streetlights and building lights make cities safer and more convenient, scientists have found that constant nighttime light can greatly affect all living things. According to the latest data, the area covered by artificial light on the Earth’s surface grows by nearly 2.5% every year, and over 80% of the world’s population now lives in light pollution — a figure that rises to 99% in Europe and North America. Yet people’s awareness remains surprisingly low. For humans, irregular artificial light breaks the body’s natural biological clock, which adjusts itself according to the sunrise and sunset. Darkness at night signals the body to produce melatonin, a key chemical inside the human body that improves sleep quality. When bright light breaks this process, people may suffer from sleeplessness, daytime tiredness and poor concentration. Long-term exposure also raises risks of metabolic disorders and mood problems. Worse still, many can’t link sleep problems to unnecessary nighttime lighting nearby. The impacts of artificial light go far beyond humans. Many species rely on natural light cycles to guide migration (迁徙), breeding and feeding. Migratory birds often mistake bright city lights for starlight, losing their way and causing crashes with buildings. Sea turtles face similar trouble: newly born turtles depend on moonlight to find the ocean, yet bright coastal lights make them move inland, causing high death rates. Even insects, the base of many food chains, are attracted to artificial lights largely, wearing themselves out and reducing food sources for birds and other animals. Combined efforts from cities and individuals can reduce harm from light pollution and benefit both humans and wildlife. Cities can use warm, weak streetlights and turn off unnecessary decorative lights at night. People can also help with soft bedroom lights and avoiding screen use before bedtime. Small joint efforts can effectively reduce light pollution and protect both humans and nature. 32. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show? A. The seriousness of light pollution. B. The benefits of urban artificial light. C. The world’s most brightly lit regions. D. People’s growing awareness of light pollution. 33. Why does the author mention melatonin in paragraph 3? A. To introduce a way to treat sleeplessness. B. To explain why humans need enough sleep. C. To compare human bodies with animal ones. D. To show how light pollution affects human bodies. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Common risks faced by wild animals in cities. B. Different living habits of various wild species. C. The importance of natural light for food chains. D. The influences of light pollution on wild animals. 35. What may the author agree with regarding artificial light? A. It makes the night sky much darker. B. Its advantages outweigh disadvantages. C. It sometimes offers protection to wildlife. D. Combined efforts can reduce its harmful effects. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了光污染的现状、它对人类以及野生动物造成的危害，并提出城市和个人可以共同努力减少光污染带来的伤害。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“According to the latest data, the area covered by artificial light on the Earth’s surface grows by nearly 2.5% every year, and over 80% of the world’s population now lives in light pollution — a figure that rises to 99% in Europe and North America.(根据最新数据，地球表面被人工灯光覆盖的区域每年增长近2.5%，全球超过80%的人口现在生活在光污染之下，在欧洲和北美这一比例高达99%。)”可知，这些数字展示了光污染的严重性。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Darkness at night signals the body to produce melatonin, a key chemical inside the human body that improves sleep quality. When bright light breaks this process, people may suffer from sleeplessness, daytime tiredness and poor concentration.(夜晚的黑暗促使身体分泌褪黑素，它是人体内一种可以改善睡眠质量的重要化学物质。当强光打断这个过程时，人们可能会失眠、白天疲惫、注意力不集中。)”可知，作者提到褪黑素是为了说明光污染如何影响人体。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第四段“The impacts of artificial light go far beyond humans. Many species rely on natural light cycles to guide migration (迁徙), breeding and feeding.Migratory birds often mistake bright city lights for starlight, losing their way and causing crashes with buildings. Sea turtles face similar trouble: newly born turtles depend on moonlight to find the ocean, yet bright coastal lights make them move inland, causing high death rates. Even insects, the base of many food chains, are attracted to artificial lights largely, wearing themselves out and reducing food sources for birds and other animals.(人工灯光带来的影响远不止作用于人类。许多物种依靠自然光周期来指引迁徙、繁殖和觅食。候鸟常常把城市明亮的灯光误认成星光，从而迷失方向，撞上建筑物。海龟也面临类似困境：新生小海龟依靠月光找到大海，可是海岸耀眼的灯光会误导它们往内陆爬，致使死亡率居高不下。就连作为诸多食物链底层的昆虫，也会大量被人造光吸引，最终耗竭而亡，进而减少鸟类以及其他动物的食物来源。)”可知，本段主要讲述光污染对野生动物的影响。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Combined efforts from cities and individuals can reduce harm from light pollution and benefit both humans and wildlife.(城市和个人的共同努力可以降低光污染带来的危害，造福人类和野生动物。)”可知，作者认同共同努力可以减少人工灯光的有害影响。 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 saying “laughter is the best medicine” has been around for centuries, but only in recent decades has science begun to explain the reasons behind laughter’s magical effect. Laughter begins in the brain as a result of humor, surprise, or the joy of human connection. ____36____ This makes laughter a full-brain activity of emotion and movement. ____37____ These chemicals provide a sense of reward and pleasure, reduce physical discomfort and create a sense of delight, and deepen feelings of trust and connection with people around you. Laughter also sets your body into “rest and digest” mode. In this process, the stressful fight-or-flight response is limited. Your muscles are loosened, and your breath is deepened. ____38____ Beyond being an expression of humor, laughter benefits your body and mind in many ways. Laughter reduces stress. Modern life is full of things that stress you out: deadlines, academic worries, social pressure, etc. ____39____ Heart health is another area where laughter works its magic. When you laugh, blood vessels expand, reducing blood pressure. One study showed that watching a comedy increased blood flow in participants by 22%. The conclusion is clear: joy helps the heart. Over time, regular laughter may reduce the risk of heart attacks. If laughter is medicine, then the solution is simple: make space for joy. This may involve spending more time with friends who make you laugh, watching comedies instead of endless newsfeeds, or practicing laughter yoga to release tension. ____40____ So the next time you feel like laughing, laugh out loud! Your body and mind will thank you. A. Yet heavy stress makes it hard for us to keep peaceful. B. That explains why laughter brings you a sense of ease. C. Laughter triggers chemicals to create positive feelings inside us. D. That comes from the humour contained in comedies and cartoons. E. Amusing memories and humorous tales can also bring us benefits. F. But a short period of laughing can aid us in recovering from pressure. G. As we laugh, different areas of our brain get activated at the same time. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. B 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了笑对身心健康的益处——从大脑机制到减压、改善心脏健康等方面，并建议人们为快乐创造空间。 【36题详解】 由上文“Laughter begins in the brain as a result of humor, surprise, or the joy of human connection. (笑始于大脑，源于幽默、惊喜或人际交往的快乐。)”以及下文“This makes laughter a full-brain activity of emotion and movement. (这使得笑成为一项涉及情感和运动的全脑活动。)”可知，本空要具体说明笑是如何调动大脑的，从而为下文的“全脑活动”作铺垫，G选项“As we laugh, different areas of our brain get activated at the same time. (当我们笑的时候，大脑的不同区域会同时被激活。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“different areas of our brain”解释了下文“full-brain activity”的含义，且该选项中的“get activated at the same time”与下文的“full-brain activity”相呼应，表示笑是多个脑区协同参与的活动。 【37题详解】 由下文“These chemicals provide a sense of reward and pleasure, reduce physical discomfort and create a sense of delight, and deepen feelings of trust and connection with people around you. (这些化学物质带来奖赏感和愉悦感，减轻身体不适并产生快乐感，还能加深你与周围人的信任感和亲密感。)”可知，本空要交代下文“These chemicals”的来源，即先引出笑会产生某种有益物质这一事实，C选项“Laughter triggers chemicals to create positive feelings inside us. (笑能触发化学物质，在我们体内产生积极情绪。)”能引出下文，符合题意，该选项中的“chemicals”正是下文“These chemicals”所指代的内容，下文的“a sense of reward and pleasure”则是该选项中“positive feelings”的具体体现。 【38题详解】 由上文“Laughter also sets your body into ‘rest and digest’ mode.

This may involve spending more time with friends who make you laugh, watching comedies instead of endless newsfeeds, or practicing laughter yoga to release tension. (如果笑是良药，那么解决办法很简单：为快乐留出空间。这可能包括多花时间和能让你发笑的朋友在一起、看喜剧而不是无休止地刷新闻，或者练习大笑瑜伽来释放紧张。)”以及下文“So the next time you feel like laughing, laugh out loud!

The two brothers maintained a harmonious relationship, unlike many siblings who often fell out over trivial matters. They shared every little detail of their school life, as well as their favourite toys and books. Yet one task always caused disagreement — house cleaning. On a bright Saturday morning, Mom called out from the kitchen, “Jim! Dick! Time to tidy up your room!” Deep sighs echoed throughout the house. Tidying their bedroom ranked as the last thing they desired to do. Jim and Dick stepped into their disordered room, wearing gloomy expressions. Toys lay scattered across the floor; clothes piled high on chairs and beds, and books were left untidily on the shelves. Mom entered the room and gasped at the mess, “Oh my goodness! How did it get into such a state? We should sort it out together.” Jim and Dick exchanged a glance. Obviously, they were reluctant to undertake this tiring task. Soon afterwards, they argued with one another over when and how they should carry out the cleaning work. Noticing that the kids were unwilling, Mom explained, “A tidy room creates a pleasant atmosphere and makes daily life more organized. Learning to arrange our belongings and keep things neat is a vital life skill.” The boys fell silent, seemingly lost in reflection. Their father overheard their conversation and came over to offer help. A brilliant idea flashed through his mind. He said, “I know cleaning sounds tedious. What if we turn it into a thrilling competition? As you sort out the room, the one who uncovers the most fascinating item may decide our dessert this evening.” Burning with enthusiasm, the boys agreed to their father’s suggestion. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Curious about what they would find, they each quickly took action. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Their room gradually became less messy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Curious about what they would find, they each quickly took action. Jim began to gather scattered toys and put them into the box, while Dick folded the messy clothes and arranged the books on the shelves. At first, they raced against each other quietly, eager to win the competition. Each of them bent down carefully, checking every corner in hopes of digging out something interesting. But soon they noticed it went faster if they passed things to one another. They stopped focusing only on winning and kept cleaning side by side, chatting happily as they moved around. Their room gradually became less messy. Piles on the chairs disappeared, the floor was cleared, and the shelves looked neat and orderly. Sunlight streamed through the window, falling softly on the tidy space. Mom and Dad watched them with satisfaction, a warm smile spreading across their faces. Though they did not find any surprising special items, the boys finished the cleaning task nicely. Dad told them both deserved dessert. The two brothers laughed, realizing that working together made housework much easier than arguing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jim和Dick兄弟俩原本十分和睦，唯独打扫房间这件事总会引发争执。周六早上妈妈让他们整理杂乱的卧室，两人不愿打扫并发生争吵，爸爸想出一个办法，把打扫变成一场竞赛，找到最有意思物品的人可以决定当晚的甜点，兄弟俩兴致勃勃地答应了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写兄弟二人一开始互相比拼，后来选择合作打扫、边打扫边聊天的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写房间收拾干净后的景象，父母欣慰的反应，以及兄弟俩收获的感悟。 2.续写线索：分头打扫——比拼竞争——合作互助——房间变整洁——父母欣慰——感悟合作的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：gather/collect ②合作：work together/cooperate with each other/pull together 情绪类 ①渴望的：eager/keen/longing ②愉快地：happily/cheerfully/delightedly 【点睛】[高分句型1] But soon they noticed it went faster if they passed things to one another.

So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf foot home. I wasn't interested in love stories. I avoided those, but crime and adventure did appeal to me. During those eight weeks, I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my colour was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks.

An ambuLance was called and I was taken to hospital. The doctors fitted me with a color, and I was told to avoid exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first I was very bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf foot home. I wasn't interested in love stories. I avoided those. But crime and adventure did appeal to me. During those eight weeks, I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my colour was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to devote more time to my new love. Reading. 听力部分到此结束。 2026-2027学年第一学期期中学业质量检测 高二英语试题 2026.10 注意事项： 1．本试卷分听力和笔试两部分。考生先作答听力部分(1-20小题)，然后作答笔试部分(21小题开始)。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和考生号填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在相应位置。本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．考生将听力部分答案写在英语听力答题卡上，笔试部分答案写在英语笔试答题卡上。写在试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where is Tom?

Most people, caught in the rush of daily life, would look away, walk faster, or hold their bags tightly. Some might drop a few coins into a cup, but rarely stop to talk or even make eye contact. Brian Peterson used to be one of them. One evening, Peterson was completely lost in a book, feeling as if the words were speaking directly to his heart, when the loud and familiar singing from the street outside broke the silence. In the past, he would have closed the window, ignoring it. But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. He learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris, a musician from Kentucky who came to California to chase his dream, yet ended up living on the street for a decade. Inspired by Faris’ story, Peterson, an art school graduate, offered to paint his portrait. This small gesture gave birth to Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization devoted to painting portraits of unhoused individuals. Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories. As public interest in the portraits grew, Peterson, the founder of the organization, began selling the large, signed paintings for thousands of dollars. Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. Some used the funds for food or medical care, while Faris used his to record an album and continue the musical career. Over eight years, the project expanded. What began with a simple conversation has grown into Faces of Mankind, a nationwide collective of artists. It turns out that true kindness can turn invisible souls into visible hope. 24. What can be the title of the book mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Warm Bonds: Love Around Us B. Joint Efforts Lead to Success C. Fortune Rises and Falls in Life D. Painters’ Tips for Creative Works 25. What is the feature of Peterson’s paintings? A. Voicing painters’ own feelings. B. Reflecting people’s social status. C. Applying pencil-drawing styles. D. Capturing people’s inner worlds. 26. How does Faces of Santa Ana help the homeless? A. By offering financial support. B. By teaching them painting skills. C. By recording albums for them. D. By raising money from the public. 27. What message does the text try to convey? A. Artists can change society easily. B. Small kindness can create powerful hope. C. The poor should fight for their own dreams. D. Books may completely change one’s life attitude. C Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, many studies link humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance and aggressiveness. In psychology, we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life also helps people better manage stress and challenges. Funny people amuse others and laugh more themselves. Such laughter causes brain changes, which may explain the humour-intelligence connection. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only makes us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working memory. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and aids learning. Many leaders use it to enhance group work and organisational culture. Studies of positive organisations suggest the more fun we have at work, the more productive we are, and the less likely we are to suffer burn-out. Educational research also supports that humour is an effective aid to learning. Studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students’ comprehension and recall of the topic. 28. What do Austrian researchers find? A. Humorous people are always sensitive. B. Funny people usually own sharper minds. C. Dark humour is most popular among people. D. People lacking humour tend to be aggressive. 29. What effect does dopamine have on our brain? A. It weakens our ability to remember information. B. It stops people from experiencing happy feelings. C. It improves our ways to think and solve problems. D. It helps produce more neural connections in the brain. 30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”? A. Clarify. B. Unite. C. Strengthen. D. Distribute. 31. What is the advantage of humorous lessons for students? A. They encourage students to find fun in life. B. They help students form good learning habits. C. They offer students more after-school activities. D. They improve students’ understanding and memory. D Modern urban living exposes people to increasing artificial light at night known as light pollution. While bright streetlights and building lights make cities safer and more convenient, scientists have found that constant nighttime light can greatly affect all living things. According to the latest data, the area covered by artificial light on the Earth’s surface grows by nearly 2.5% every year, and over 80% of the world’s population now lives in light pollution — a figure that rises to 99% in Europe and North America. Yet people’s awareness remains surprisingly low. For humans, irregular artificial light breaks the body’s natural biological clock, which adjusts itself according to the sunrise and sunset. Darkness at night signals the body to produce melatonin, a key chemical inside the human body that improves sleep quality. When bright light breaks this process, people may suffer from sleeplessness, daytime tiredness and poor concentration. Long-term exposure also raises risks of metabolic disorders and mood problems. Worse still, many can’t link sleep problems to unnecessary nighttime lighting nearby. The impacts of artificial light go far beyond humans. Many species rely on natural light cycles to guide migration (迁徙), breeding and feeding. Migratory birds often mistake bright city lights for starlight, losing their way and causing crashes with buildings. Sea turtles face similar trouble: newly born turtles depend on moonlight to find the ocean, yet bright coastal lights make them move inland, causing high death rates. Even insects, the base of many food chains, are attracted to artificial lights largely, wearing themselves out and reducing food sources for birds and other animals. Combined efforts from cities and individuals can reduce harm from light pollution and benefit both humans and wildlife. Cities can use warm, weak streetlights and turn off unnecessary decorative lights at night. People can also help with soft bedroom lights and avoiding screen use before bedtime. Small joint efforts can effectively reduce light pollution and protect both humans and nature. 32. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show? A. The seriousness of light pollution. B. The benefits of urban artificial light. C. The world’s most brightly lit regions. D. People’s growing awareness of light pollution. 33. Why does the author mention melatonin in paragraph 3? A. To introduce a way to treat sleeplessness. B. To explain why humans need enough sleep. C. To compare human bodies with animal ones. D. To show how light pollution affects human bodies. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Common risks faced by wild animals in cities. B. Different living habits of various wild species. C. The importance of natural light for food chains. D. The influences of light pollution on wild animals. 35. What may the author agree with regarding artificial light? A. It makes the night sky much darker. B. Its advantages outweigh disadvantages. C. It sometimes offers protection to wildlife. D. Combined efforts can reduce its harmful effects. 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 saying “laughter is the best medicine” has been around for centuries, but only in recent decades has science begun to explain the reasons behind laughter’s magical effect. Laughter begins in the brain as a result of humor, surprise, or the joy of human connection. ____36____ This makes laughter a full-brain activity of emotion and movement. ____37____ These chemicals provide a sense of reward and pleasure, reduce physical discomfort and create a sense of delight, and deepen feelings of trust and connection with people around you. Laughter also sets your body into “rest and digest” mode. In this process, the stressful fight-or-flight response is limited. Your muscles are loosened, and your breath is deepened. ____38____ Beyond being an expression of humor, laughter benefits your body and mind in many ways. Laughter reduces stress. Modern life is full of things that stress you out: deadlines, academic worries, social pressure, etc. ____39____ Heart health is another area where laughter works its magic. When you laugh, blood vessels expand, reducing blood pressure. One study showed that watching a comedy increased blood flow in participants by 22%. The conclusion is clear: joy helps the heart. Over time, regular laughter may reduce the risk of heart attacks. If laughter is medicine, then the solution is simple: make space for joy. This may involve spending more time with friends who make you laugh, watching comedies instead of endless newsfeeds, or practicing laughter yoga to release tension. ____40____ So the next time you feel like laughing, laugh out loud! Your body and mind will thank you. A. Yet heavy stress makes it hard for us to keep peaceful. B. That explains why laughter brings you a sense of ease. C. Laughter triggers chemicals to create positive feelings inside us. D. That comes from the humour contained in comedies and cartoons. E. Amusing memories and humorous tales can also bring us benefits. F. But a short period of laughing can aid us in recovering from pressure. G. As we laugh, different areas of our brain get activated at the same time. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever.

The two brothers maintained a harmonious relationship, unlike many siblings who often fell out over trivial matters. They shared every little detail of their school life, as well as their favourite toys and books. Yet one task always caused disagreement — house cleaning. On a bright Saturday morning, Mom called out from the kitchen, “Jim! Dick! Time to tidy up your room!” Deep sighs echoed throughout the house. Tidying their bedroom ranked as the last thing they desired to do. Jim and Dick stepped into their disordered room, wearing gloomy expressions. Toys lay scattered across the floor; clothes piled high on chairs and beds, and books were left untidily on the shelves. Mom entered the room and gasped at the mess, “Oh my goodness! How did it get into such a state? We should sort it out together.” Jim and Dick exchanged a glance. Obviously, they were reluctant to undertake this tiring task. Soon afterwards, they argued with one another over when and how they should carry out the cleaning work. Noticing that the kids were unwilling, Mom explained, “A tidy room creates a pleasant atmosphere and makes daily life more organized. Learning to arrange our belongings and keep things neat is a vital life skill.” The boys fell silent, seemingly lost in reflection. Their father overheard their conversation and came over to offer help. A brilliant idea flashed through his mind. He said, “I know cleaning sounds tedious. What if we turn it into a thrilling competition? As you sort out the room, the one who uncovers the most fascinating item may decide our dessert this evening.” Burning with enthusiasm, the boys agreed to their father’s suggestion. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Curious about what they would find, they each quickly took action. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Their room gradually became less messy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
