The scenery there is mind-blowing, and it’s no surprise that the area has caught the eye of travelers passionate about gravel (砾石) biking, an increasingly popular form of cycling. Why go gravel biking in Galloway? Gravel biking integrates the adventure of mountain biking with the freedom of road cycling. That opens up a lot of possibilities: on a bike able to tackle ordinary, gravel and forest tracks — tracks are limited only by your imagination. North of the market town of Gatehouse of Fleet, Galloway Forest Park is Britain’s largest forest park at over 300 square miles and it has almost unlimited gravel biking potential. Since 2023, a famous gravel bike race has been held here annually. More active Galloway experiences Hiking the Merrick Allow five hours to reach the highest peak in southern Scotland. The Merrick Trail from the Loch Trool car park is a slow climb into Scottish beauty: a stream, a mountain house and summit (山顶) views of hills and sea. Road biking along the coast If gravel biking in Galloway is about mountains, road biking showcases the coastline. From Gatehouse of Fleet, take National Cycle Route 7 to enjoy the impressive coastline scenery. The route offers cyclists a diverse experience, from peaceful rural areas to busy seaside towns. Fishing the River Nith Mention Galloway to fishing enthusiasts, and they’ll tell you about the Nith. A mix of fast-flowing streams and flats, this river is the perfect place for fly-fishers. Daily permits cost £20 per person, with free entry for those under 18; the fishing season runs from late February until October. 1. What makes Galloway ideal for gravel biking? A. Its position as a forest town. B. Its well-known annual bike race. C. Its popularity among biking lovers. D. Its large forest with various tracks. 2. What do the Merrick Trail hiking and coastal road biking have in common? A. They offer beautiful views. B. They take hours to finish. C. They start from the same place. D. They go along the coastline. 3. How much will a couple with two little kids pay for one-day fishing in the Nith? A. £20. B. £40. C. £60. D. £80. B At 23, while most of my peers (同龄人) were graduating from college and wondering about their future, I made what I called “the biggest decision of my life so far”. I purchased a piece of land in the Colombian jungle to build a self-sufficient and sustainable home. Three years ago, I traveled to Colombia with friends. We realized that people there may not be rich in an economic sense, but they just seemed extremely free and enjoyed a high quality of life. Impressed with this way of living, I dreamed of the same. I spent years working full-time in downtown Washington to save enough money to turn my dream into reality. Then, after months of searching, I found the perfect piece of land. The land is a real treasure. A natural stream runs through it, feeding my crops during dry seasons. I have nearly a dozen mature avocado trees. I plan to press the harvest into oil and sell it online, hoping to build a small business out of it. Beyond building a life for myself, I also hope to give back to the land. The previous owners deforested half of the land by fire, and I plan to replant native forests on the deforested area, attempting to restore these habitats for local endangered animals. I am working on constructing a wooden house on my property. To be honest, I have no construction experience at all, but I have a lot of confidence in this hands-on learning process. As I work hard to build my new life in the Colombian jungle, I remain hopeful about the future. I have so many plans and dreams in mind that it’s hard to put them all into words. But right now, my plan is simple: plant more fruit trees, finish building the house, and take this new journey one step at a time. 4. What was the author’s biggest decision? A. Settling in a jungle. B. Building a business. C. Leaving college early. D. Buying her own house. 5. What inspired the author’s dream? A. Her work in Washington. B. The Colombians’ lifestyle. C. Her friend’s encouragement. D. The value of the jungle land. 6. How will the author deal with the deforested land? A. By building more houses for use. B. By growing fruit trees for profit. C. By bringing the forests back to life. D. By setting up a reserve for animals. 7. What does the last paragraph imply about the author? A. She is very skilled at construction. B. She has no worries about the future. C. She is steadily pursuing her goals. D. She limits herself to small ambitions. C Roughly one in five American adults is responsible for the long-term care of an ill or elderly loved one. It is well known that family caregivers are at higher risk of depression. And some tend to have a short life. In a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, caregivers scored worse than non-caregivers on health indicators. The root cause, research shows, is constant stress. It leads not only to mental suffering but also, by harming the immune (免疫的) system, to physical illness. Caregivers also appear biologically older. As we age, our bodies produce fewer naive (初始的) T cells — immune cells the body holds in reserve until it is faced with a novel attacker. Their characteristics and proportion can indicate the health of the immune system. Researchers showed that parents caring for disabled children have fewer naive T cells, and this observation is consistent with the faster aging of the immune system. One obvious way to help caregivers is to lighten their load. Unfortunately, a caregiver’s load often grows over time, especially when they’re caring for someone with cancer, and the challenges are going to increase as the disease progresses. That’s why social psychologist Kathi Heffner is looking to strengthen resilience. She has noticed that not all caregivers are affected in the same way. People who find more meaning and purpose in being a caregiver can better handle ongoing stress and bounce back from difficulties. Those with social support seem to do better. In a 2025 trial, Heffner tested cognitive (认知的) training (such as brain games) as a strategy to build such an ability. Ninety-six people providing long-term care for loved ones played the games. They showed significantly improved cognitive processing speed, which related to better adjusting to stress. A year later they reported being less bothered by the memory and behavioral challenges of the person they were caring for. “If we can improve caregivers’ ability to adjust to stress, that’s going to lead to better outcomes and to better quality of life for the caregivers,” Heffner says. 8. What do most caregivers face according to the study? A. Long-term care work. B. Worse health condition. C. Short life expectancy. D. Higher risk of heart disease. 9. How does constant stress affect caregivers? A. It leads to a big rise in T cells. B. It directly causes mental disorders. C. It slows their immune responses. D. It speeds up their biological aging. 10. What does the underlined word “resilience” refer to in paragraph 3? A. Ability to give medical care. B. Desire to find life purpose. C. Adaptability to care pressure. D. Resistance to deadly illness. 11. What did the 2025 trial find about cognitive training? A. It worked better than social support. B. It helped caregivers better tackle stress. C. It improved the patients’ mental state. D. It prevented caregivers’ cognitive decline. D Cheating and tricks are not limited to human beings or even animals. Plants, too, have developed ways to fool their enemies and even the organisms that spread their seeds. Now scientists have uncovered a trick of yams — a climbing plant — which fooled even the scientists themselves. These yams have lost the ability to produce seeds through sexual reproduction and must clone themselves. Plants that make clones typically reproduce with removable bulbils (珠芽), which fall off and grow near their parents. But now, with this new-found trick, the yams have a way to spread far and wide, a defence against their local environment changing. Chen Gao, an ecological biologist at the Kunming Institute of Botany, and his team mistakenly picked up these bulbils, thinking they were berries (浆果), while they were collecting seeds in Southwest China in 2019. Seeds are usually inside berries, but there were none when they cut open these ones. “If they can cheat me, then I think they can cheat birds,” Chen said. Bulbils are usually white or light-colored, not black or shiny like the yam’s, but proving these ones mimic (模仿) berries took a lot of work. The team analyzed and compared the appearance and color of berries found near the yam, identifying 15 berry types that were almost the same as the bulbils. Three years’ worth of camera trap photos showed that 22 bird species visited these bulbils and a few even ate them. Once eaten, the bulbils can be carried to new spots that are farther away from their parent plants, which may give them better chances of living. “The results extend the mimicry concept to nonreproductive structures of the plant,” says ecologist Pedro Jordano. Other examples come from plant species that reproduce sexually. “That the yam’s bulbil has evolved to mimic berries is amazing, offering a practical reminder to conservationists: protecting a plant species sometimes means protecting the animals it tricks, for in nature, even a lie can sustain a life,” he says. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The reproduction of the yams. B. The cheating process of the yams. C. The necessity of the yams’ trick. D. The defence mechanism of the yams. 13. What can we learn about the yams’ bulbils? A. They preserve some seeds inside. B. Their appearance is unremarkable. C. Their mimicking easily checks out. D. They look convincingly like berries. 14. Why are Pedro Jordano’s words cited in paragraph 5? A. To compare different yam species. B. To explore more cases about mimicking. C. To highlight another study finding. D. To prove the significance of the results. 15. Which saying best interprets the trick of yams? A. Survival of the fittest. B. No pains, no gains. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Seeing is believing. 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。 Fifteen years after their first day of school, eighteen-year-old Mia and Gwen were ready for a break from education together. ____16____.

Noticing my mother’s disappointment, I reached for my pocket money, hoping to buy a little gift for her to make up for it. Holding five pounds tightly in my hand, I walked into Miss Drake’s shop in my neighbourhood. She was arranging flowers with her hands. When she looked up, she gave me a smile. Hearing my whole story, Miss Drake patted my arm, the way she had done since I was young. She carefully helped me pick out a bunch of bright and fresh flowers. When I handed her the five pounds, she shook her head firmly, saying true kindness needed no money. Walking home with the flowers, I had mixed feelings — my heart was filled with expectations for my mother’s smile but I was afraid just a bunch of flowers was far from enough. To my great surprise, my mother told me happily that Miss Drake had just called and invited us to dinner that evening. As I watched my mother put the flowers into a vase cheerfully, a warm feeling rose in my heart. That night, everyone was happy: my mother enjoyed the meal, chatting cheerfully with Miss Drake; I let out a sigh of relief, letting go of the worry about my father’s absence. When Dad returned home, we told him about Miss Drake’s kindness. He said, “We’ll remember that.” I saw a grateful look in his eyes. Several days later, Miss Drake went to another city to purchase supplies. As night fell, heavy rain beat hard against the windows and water soon streamed across the streets like a river. My father, wearing a big raincoat and rubber boots, was about to rush out. I stared at him in confusion, and he explained he was worried the drain (下水道) near Miss Drake’s flower shop might be blocked and that water might flood into her shop. I jumped up, grabbed an umbrella and went with him. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右。 （2）请按如下格式作答。 We arrived at the shop, finding the drain nearly blocked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Miss Drake came to our home the moment she returned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语试题 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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.

B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍苏格兰加洛韦地区，推荐当地砾石骑行、徒步、沿海公路骑行和钓鱼等户外项目。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“North of the market town of Gatehouse of Fleet, Galloway Forest Park is Britain’s largest forest park at over 300 square miles and it has almost unlimited gravel biking potential.(在弗利特门集镇以北，加洛韦森林公园是英国最大的森林公园，面积超过300平方英里，它拥有几乎无限的砾石骑行潜力)”以及“That opens up a lot of possibilities: on a bike able to tackle ordinary, gravel and forest tracks — tracks are limited only by your imagination.(这带来很多可能性：骑着能够应对普通道路、砾石路和林间小道的自行车 —— 道路只受你的想象力限制)”可知，大片森林和多样的小道让这里适合砾石骑行。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第一栏“The Merrick Trail from the Loch Trool car park is a slow climb into Scottish beauty: a stream, a mountain house and summit (山顶) views of hills and sea.(从特罗尔湖停车场出发的梅里克步道是一段缓慢爬升，走入苏格兰美景之中：一条溪流、一间山间小屋以及山顶的山海景色)”和第二栏“From Gatehouse of Fleet, take National Cycle Route 7 to enjoy the impressive coastline scenery.(从弗利特门集镇出发，走7号国家自行车路线，欣赏令人赞叹的海岸风光)”可知，两项活动都可以欣赏美景。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第三栏“Daily permits cost £20 per person, with free entry for those under 18(每日许可证每人20英镑，18岁以下的人免费进入)”可知，一对夫妻是2个成年人，两个小孩免费，因此费用为£20×2=£40。 B At 23, while most of my peers (同龄人) were graduating from college and wondering about their future, I made what I called “the biggest decision of my life so far”. I purchased a piece of land in the Colombian jungle to build a self-sufficient and sustainable home. Three years ago, I traveled to Colombia with friends. We realized that people there may not be rich in an economic sense, but they just seemed extremely free and enjoyed a high quality of life. Impressed with this way of living, I dreamed of the same. I spent years working full-time in downtown Washington to save enough money to turn my dream into reality. Then, after months of searching, I found the perfect piece of land. The land is a real treasure. A natural stream runs through it, feeding my crops during dry seasons. I have nearly a dozen mature avocado trees. I plan to press the harvest into oil and sell it online, hoping to build a small business out of it. Beyond building a life for myself, I also hope to give back to the land. The previous owners deforested half of the land by fire, and I plan to replant native forests on the deforested area, attempting to restore these habitats for local endangered animals. I am working on constructing a wooden house on my property. To be honest, I have no construction experience at all, but I have a lot of confidence in this hands-on learning process. As I work hard to build my new life in the Colombian jungle, I remain hopeful about the future. I have so many plans and dreams in mind that it’s hard to put them all into words. But right now, my plan is simple: plant more fruit trees, finish building the house, and take this new journey one step at a time. 4. What was the author’s biggest decision? A. Settling in a jungle. B. Building a business. C. Leaving college early. D. Buying her own house. 5. What inspired the author’s dream? A. Her work in Washington. B. The Colombians’ lifestyle. C. Her friend’s encouragement. D. The value of the jungle land. 6. How will the author deal with the deforested land? A. By building more houses for use. B. By growing fruit trees for profit. C. By bringing the forests back to life. D. By setting up a reserve for animals. 7. What does the last paragraph imply about the author? A. She is very skilled at construction. B. She has no worries about the future. C. She is steadily pursuing her goals. D. She limits herself to small ambitions. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述23岁的作者买下哥伦比亚丛林土地，打算建造自给自足的居所，同时修复林地，稳步追寻自己的梦想。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At 23, while most of my peers (同龄人) were graduating from college and wondering about their future, I made what I called “the biggest decision of my life so far”. I purchased a piece of land in the Colombian jungle to build a self-sufficient and sustainable home.(23岁时，当我的大多数同龄人从大学毕业并思索他们的未来时，我做出了我所说的“迄今为止我人生中最大的决定”。我在哥伦比亚丛林里买下一块土地，来建造一个自给自足、可持续的居所)”可知，作者最大的决定是在丛林定居。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Three years ago, I traveled to Colombia with friends. We realized that people there may not be rich in an economic sense, but they just seemed extremely free and enjoyed a high quality of life. Impressed with this way of living, I dreamed of the same. I spent years working full-time in downtown Washington to save enough money to turn my dream into reality. (三年前，我和朋友们去哥伦比亚旅行。我们意识到那里的人们在经济意义上可能并不富有，但他们看起来极其自由，并且享有高质量的生活。我对这种生活方式印象深刻，也向往同样的生活。我花了数年时间在华盛顿市中心全职工作，去存足够的钱，把我的梦想变成现实)”可知，哥伦比亚人的生活方式激发了作者的梦想。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The previous owners deforested half of the land by fire, and I plan to replant native forests on the deforested area, attempting to restore these habitats for local endangered animals.(之前的土地所有者通过焚烧的方式清除了一半土地上的林木、造成该区域毁林，我计划在毁林区域重新种植本土林木，试图为当地濒危动物恢复这些栖息地)”可知，作者打算让这片林地重焕生机。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But right now, my plan is simple: plant more fruit trees, finish building the house, and take this new journey one step at a time.(但是现在，我的计划很简单：种植更多果树，建好房子，一步一步开启这段新旅程)”可知，作者正在稳步追求自己的目标。 C Roughly one in five American adults is responsible for the long-term care of an ill or elderly loved one. It is well known that family caregivers are at higher risk of depression. And some tend to have a short life. In a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, caregivers scored worse than non-caregivers on health indicators. The root cause, research shows, is constant stress. It leads not only to mental suffering but also, by harming the immune (免疫的) system, to physical illness. Caregivers also appear biologically older. As we age, our bodies produce fewer naive (初始的) T cells — immune cells the body holds in reserve until it is faced with a novel attacker. Their characteristics and proportion can indicate the health of the immune system. Researchers showed that parents caring for disabled children have fewer naive T cells, and this observation is consistent with the faster aging of the immune system. One obvious way to help caregivers is to lighten their load. Unfortunately, a caregiver’s load often grows over time, especially when they’re caring for someone with cancer, and the challenges are going to increase as the disease progresses. That’s why social psychologist Kathi Heffner is looking to strengthen resilience. She has noticed that not all caregivers are affected in the same way. People who find more meaning and purpose in being a caregiver can better handle ongoing stress and bounce back from difficulties. Those with social support seem to do better. In a 2025 trial, Heffner tested cognitive (认知的) training (such as brain games) as a strategy to build such an ability. Ninety-six people providing long-term care for loved ones played the games. They showed significantly improved cognitive processing speed, which related to better adjusting to stress. A year later they reported being less bothered by the memory and behavioral challenges of the person they were caring for. “If we can improve caregivers’ ability to adjust to stress, that’s going to lead to better outcomes and to better quality of life for the caregivers,” Heffner says. 8. What do most caregivers face according to the study? A. Long-term care work. B. Worse health condition. C. Short life expectancy. D. Higher risk of heart disease. 9. How does constant stress affect caregivers? A. It leads to a big rise in T cells. B. It directly causes mental disorders. C. It slows their immune responses. D. It speeds up their biological aging. 10. What does the underlined word “resilience” refer to in paragraph 3? A. Ability to give medical care. B. Desire to find life purpose. C. Adaptability to care pressure. D. Resistance to deadly illness. 11. What did the 2025 trial find about cognitive training? A. It worked better than social support. B. It helped caregivers better tackle stress. C. It improved the patients’ mental state. D. It prevented caregivers’ cognitive decline. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了家庭护理者面临持续压力，导致身心健康受损，并探讨了增强心理韧性和认知训练等应对方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, caregivers scored worse than non-caregivers on health indicators.(在美国疾病控制与预防中心的一项研究中，护理者在健康指标上的得分比非护理者更差。)”可知，大多数护理者面临更差的健康状况。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The root cause, research shows, is constant stress. It leads not only to mental suffering but also, by harming the immune (免疫的) system, to physical illness. Caregivers also appear biologically older.(研究表明，根本原因是持续的压力。它不仅导致精神痛苦，还通过损害免疫系统导致身体疾病。护理者在生物学上也显得更老。)”可知，持续压力会导致身体疾病，加速护理者的生物学衰老。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“That’s why social psychologist Kathi Heffner is looking to strengthen resilience. She has noticed that not all caregivers are affected in the same way. People who find more meaning and purpose in being a caregiver can better handle ongoing stress and bounce back from difficulties.(这就是为什么社会心理学家凯西·赫夫纳希望增强resilience。她注意到并非所有护理者都受到同样的影响。那些在护理中找到更多意义和目的的人能更好地应对持续的压力，并从困难中恢复过来。)”可知，护理者通过在护理工作中找到更多意义和目的，就能更好地承受压力，并从困难中恢复过来，就不会受到同样的影响。鉴于此，凯西·赫夫纳希望增强护理者“适应压力的能力”，划线词resilience与“Adaptability to care pressure”意思一致。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In a 2025 trial, Heffner tested cognitive (认知的) training (such as brain games) as a strategy to build such an ability.(在2025年的一项试验中，赫夫纳测试了认知训练(比如脑力游戏)作为建立这种能力的一种策略。)”和“They showed significantly improved cognitive processing speed, which related to better adjusting to stress. A year later they reported being less bothered by the memory and behavioral challenges of the person they were caring for.(他们表现出显著提高的认知处理速度，这与更好地适应压力有关。一年后，他们报告说，被护理者的记忆和行为挑战对他们的困扰减少了。)”可知，2025年的试验发现认知训练能帮助护理者更好地应对压力。 D Cheating and tricks are not limited to human beings or even animals. Plants, too, have developed ways to fool their enemies and even the organisms that spread their seeds. Now scientists have uncovered a trick of yams — a climbing plant — which fooled even the scientists themselves. These yams have lost the ability to produce seeds through sexual reproduction and must clone themselves. Plants that make clones typically reproduce with removable bulbils (珠芽), which fall off and grow near their parents. But now, with this new-found trick, the yams have a way to spread far and wide, a defence against their local environment changing. Chen Gao, an ecological biologist at the Kunming Institute of Botany, and his team mistakenly picked up these bulbils, thinking they were berries (浆果), while they were collecting seeds in Southwest China in 2019. Seeds are usually inside berries, but there were none when they cut open these ones. “If they can cheat me, then I think they can cheat birds,” Chen said. Bulbils are usually white or light-colored, not black or shiny like the yam’s, but proving these ones mimic (模仿) berries took a lot of work. The team analyzed and compared the appearance and color of berries found near the yam, identifying 15 berry types that were almost the same as the bulbils. Three years’ worth of camera trap photos showed that 22 bird species visited these bulbils and a few even ate them. Once eaten, the bulbils can be carried to new spots that are farther away from their parent plants, which may give them better chances of living. “The results extend the mimicry concept to nonreproductive structures of the plant,” says ecologist Pedro Jordano. Other examples come from plant species that reproduce sexually. “That the yam’s bulbil has evolved to mimic berries is amazing, offering a practical reminder to conservationists: protecting a plant species sometimes means protecting the animals it tricks, for in nature, even a lie can sustain a life,” he says. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The reproduction of the yams. B. The cheating process of the yams. C. The necessity of the yams’ trick. D. The defence mechanism of the yams. 13. What can we learn about the yams’ bulbils? A. They preserve some seeds inside. B. Their appearance is unremarkable. C. Their mimicking easily checks out. D. They look convincingly like berries. 14. Why are Pedro Jordano’s words cited in paragraph 5? A. To compare different yam species. B. To explore more cases about mimicking. C. To highlight another study finding. D. To prove the significance of the results. 15. Which saying best interprets the trick of yams? A. Survival of the fittest. B. No pains, no gains. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Seeing is believing. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了薯蓣演化出特殊的生存策略，它的珠芽模仿浆果欺骗鸟类，借此实现远距离传播，以应对环境变化，展现了植物巧妙的拟态智慧。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“These yams have lost the ability to produce seeds through sexual reproduction and must clone themselves. Plants that make clones typically reproduce with removable bulbils (珠芽), which fall off and grow near their parents. But now, with this new-found trick, the yams have a way to spread far and wide, a defence against their local environment changing.(这些山药已经丧失了通过有性生殖产生种子的能力，只能依靠无性克隆繁殖。进行克隆繁殖的植物一般依靠可脱落的珠芽繁衍，珠芽脱落后，就在母株附近生长。但如今，借助这种新发现的伎俩，这些薯蓣得以大范围扩散，以此抵御当地环境的变化。)”可知，本段主要说明薯蓣演化出这一欺骗手段的必要性。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The team analyzed and compared the appearance and color of berries found near the yam, identifying 15 berry types that were almost the same as the bulbils.(研究团队分析并比较了薯蓣附近浆果的外形和颜色，确认有15种浆果与这些珠芽几乎一模一样。)”可知，薯蓣的珠芽看起来和浆果十分相像，足以以假乱真。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“That the yam’s bulbil has evolved to mimic berries is amazing, offering a practical reminder to conservationists: protecting a plant species sometimes means protecting the animals it tricks, for in nature, even a lie can sustain a life,” he says.(“薯蓣的珠芽演化出模仿浆果的样子令人惊叹，这也给自然保护工作者一个实实在在的提醒：保护一种植物，有时也意味着保护它所欺骗的动物，因为在自然界中，一个谎言也能维系生命，”他说道。)”可知，引用Pedro Jordano的话是为了强调这项研究成果的重要意义。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Once eaten, the bulbils can be carried to new spots that are farther away from their parent plants, which may give them better chances of living.(一旦被吃掉，这些珠芽就可能被带到离母株更远的新地方，这或许会给它们带来更好的存活机会。)”可知，薯蓣以“欺骗”换取更远的传播和更高的存活几率，正是适者生存法则的体现。 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。 Fifteen years after their first day of school, eighteen-year-old Mia and Gwen were ready for a break from education together. ____16____.

Noticing my mother’s disappointment, I reached for my pocket money, hoping to buy a little gift for her to make up for it. Holding five pounds tightly in my hand, I walked into Miss Drake’s shop in my neighbourhood. She was arranging flowers with her hands. When she looked up, she gave me a smile. Hearing my whole story, Miss Drake patted my arm, the way she had done since I was young. She carefully helped me pick out a bunch of bright and fresh flowers. When I handed her the five pounds, she shook her head firmly, saying true kindness needed no money. Walking home with the flowers, I had mixed feelings — my heart was filled with expectations for my mother’s smile but I was afraid just a bunch of flowers was far from enough. To my great surprise, my mother told me happily that Miss Drake had just called and invited us to dinner that evening. As I watched my mother put the flowers into a vase cheerfully, a warm feeling rose in my heart. That night, everyone was happy: my mother enjoyed the meal, chatting cheerfully with Miss Drake; I let out a sigh of relief, letting go of the worry about my father’s absence. When Dad returned home, we told him about Miss Drake’s kindness. He said, “We’ll remember that.” I saw a grateful look in his eyes. Several days later, Miss Drake went to another city to purchase supplies. As night fell, heavy rain beat hard against the windows and water soon streamed across the streets like a river. My father, wearing a big raincoat and rubber boots, was about to rush out. I stared at him in confusion, and he explained he was worried the drain (下水道) near Miss Drake’s flower shop might be blocked and that water might flood into her shop. I jumped up, grabbed an umbrella and went with him. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右。 （2）请按如下格式作答。 We arrived at the shop, finding the drain nearly blocked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Miss Drake came to our home the moment she returned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 We arrived at the shop, finding the drain nearly blocked. Fallen leaves and mud had piled up at the drain mouth, and murky water was creeping toward the shop’s door. Dad and I worked right away: he bent to clear the mess with bare hands, and I held the umbrella over his head to keep the rain off him. Ten minutes later, the drain was unclogged, and the water flowed away quickly. We even moved a few heavy flower pots against the door as an extra safety measure, leaving the dry shop in peace. The next day, Miss Drake came to our home the moment she returned. Seeing the muddy marks on Dad’s raincoat, she was moved to tears. She handed us a big bunch of the most fragrant roses, saying it was a small token of appreciation for our timely help. Mom hugged me tight, and I suddenly learned: kindness is a warm little cycle, which passes from person to person and fills everyone’s heart with sunshine. 【解析】 【导语】这篇短文讲述了妈妈生日时因爸爸出差原定晚餐计划泡汤，作者用零花钱想买花补偿妈妈，花店老板Drake小姐得知后免单送花，还主动邀作者和妈妈共进晚餐。后来暴雨夜爸爸担心在外采购的Drake小姐的花店被积水淹，带着作者冒雨出门。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以描写作者和爸爸一起疏通店铺周边下水道、清理积水并把几个花盆靠在门边。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以描写Drake小姐回来后上门致谢以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索： 疏通下水道——搬花盆靠近门边——Drake小姐被感动——送花致谢——感悟 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①立即行动：work right away/spring into action ②拥抱：hug/embrace/hold in one’s arms 情绪类 ①感动：moved/touched ②善良：kindness/goodness 【点睛】【高分句型1】We even moved a few heavy flower pots against the door as an extra safety measure, leaving the dry shop in peace.
