He moved to Northampton in 1998 when his parents,both doctors,were invited to work in the UK.Besides the climate,he also had to adjust to the change in pets.As mentioned in his book Hamza's Wild World,"Where's everyone's pet lions and monkeys?It was all cats and dogs.I hadn't realized what a special upbringing (I had.But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife:I quickly fell in love with the country's nature.At first glance,it doesn't look like there is much wildlife.But if you peel back the layers,there is so much. Though his parents didn't have time to closely teach him,they did turn on the television, especially the Discovery Channel.David Attenborough's The Lifeof Birds was an eye-opening experience,and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration.While Hamza thought they had cool jobs,he never thought he could be a presenter.As a non-white teenager,he never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. 高二·英语第3页（共8页） After being an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson.Hamza realized he needed to forge his own path.In 2011,he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later,he was back there.He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage,but in reality,he was living in his car,struggling to make ends meet.He parked at the local ferry terminal and lived there happily for nine months.doing odd jobs to survive.During that time,he was determined not to go back to Northampton and tell his parents:"I've been defeated." Luckily,he made it.That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession. Eventually,Hamza became afamous wildlife cameraman,inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of(不论)their background. 24.What does the underlined word "cemented"in paragraph 2 mean?

C.Where there's a will,there's a way. D.A good beginning makes a good ending. Imagine it's Saturday morning.You're relaxing when your best friend texts,"Could you help me move today?"You sigh-there go your weekend plans-but reply,"Of course."A week later,a coworker you barely know asks for a hand.This time,you hesitate.Psychologists call this tendency "social discounting":our generosity declines (as social distance increases. But what happens in the brain during these decisions?A small region called the basolateral amygdala (BLA)plays a key role.It helps us balance self-interest with social intentions by assigning (value to both our own well-being and that of others. To testthis,researchers studied individuals in South Africa with Urbach-Wiethe disease.a rare genetic condition that damages the BLA.They compared five women with this disease to 16 healthy participants in a social discounting task.Each person listed eight people,ranging from their closest friend to a complete stranger,and decided how much money to share with each. As expected,all participants gave more to close contacts.Interestingly,those with BLA damage were less generous overall,and their generosity decreased more sharply as social distance increased.These differences could not be explained by personality or empathy levels. The findings suggest the BLA helps people create a "model"of the social world to guide decision-making.An unharmed BLA allows us to consider social context and rules when deciding whether to be generous.Without it,individuals may rely on a "standard"strategy,unless the receiver is emotionally very close,in which case helping remains automatic. 高二·英语第4页（共8页） Generosity is therefore not an all-or-nothing trait:it is a model-based social behavior.shaped by how close we feel to the receiver of help.And deep in the brain,the basolateral amygdala is helping us do that calculation(计算). 28.Why does the author describe the "moving-day dilemma"in paragraph 1? A.To illustrate how social discounting works. B.To argue people should treat others equally. C.To show generosity is mainly driven by emotions. D.To suggest a conflict between self and others'interest. 29.What do researchers try to show by comparing the two groups? A.The risk of the Urbach-Wiethe disease. B.The BLA's role in social decision-making. C.The difference in participants'social network. D.The personality's influence on social discounting. 30.What can be inferred from the findings in social decision-making? A.People with Urbach-Wiethe are more generous. B.BLA damage leads to complete loss of generosity. C.BLA allows individuals to weigh social information. D.Personality can potentially affect BLA-harmed people. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text?. A.The Brain's Role:How We Balance Choices. B.The BLA:A Hidden Guide to Social Behavior. C.Social Discounting:Why We Help Our Friends. D.Urbach-Wiethe Disease:A Rare Genetic Condition. D For the first time.renewable energy has replaced coal as the top source of electricity around the world,a new report says. Renewable energy,like solar,wind and water,contributed 34.3%of all global electricity produced in the first half of 2025.while coal fell to 33.1%.the energy expert Ember found. Developing countries like China took the lead in adding more renewable energy,Ember reported.Countries including Hungary and Pakistan set records in solar energy production, producing 20%or more of their electricity from solar power. The report found that global CO:emissions fell slightly in the first half of the year as solar and wind power grew faster than demand and led to a small fall in fossil fuel 料)use. While the world is seeing significant gains in making energy cleaner,increased demand leaves renewables struggling to meet consumer(消费者)needs.“It's a question of whether the wind and solar is able to keep pace with the demand growth.If wind and solar don't grow fast enough, we have to keep running the gas and coal power plants,"said Daniel Cohan.a professor of environmental engineering.The tech race to add Al to daily life is partly responsible."With the growth of data centers and other growth from industries and air conditioning,we're starting to see electricity demand grow 3%per year,rather than be flat or 1%."Cohan said. While it is eventually cheaper and cleaner to rely on wind and the sun for power once the plants are running,Cohan said funding the infrastructure (for renewables remains a challenge. China and other countries have been able to succeed because they predicted a rising desire for renewable energy and spent big on it. 32.Which figures show the efforts made by developing countries in renewable energy growth? A.3%. B.20%. C.33.1% D.34.3% 高二·英语第5页（共8页） 33.What is a challenge facing renewable energy according to Cohan? A.Rising costs for production. B.Races for technology development. C.Lack of support from developed countries. D).Mismatch between energy supply and demand. 31.How has China achieved its renewable energy success? A.By taking early action. B.By closing coal plants. C.By upgrading facilities. D.By introducing AI to daily life. 35.What is the author's purpose in writing this text? A.To compare different kinds of energy production. B.To prove the importance of cutting down COa emissions. C.To present the progress and challenges of renewable energy. D.To explain how fossil fuels are replaced by renewable energy. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 When I was a child,my mother battled with me over learning the art of conversation and how to chat to grown ups.As a shy person,making small talk can feel unnecessary and forced. 36 First impressions really do count.People make judgments based on your appearance and how you present yourself in the first few seconds of meeting.Simply smiling at a person can tell them that you're trustworthy and easy-going.Even if you're stressed about work or your boiler has exploded,your body language matters. 37 Smile,and dress appropriately.Smile is like a warm welcome mat for your face-signaling approachability and friendliness-making all the difference in how people treat you.38 Think about what you're going to wear so you're not stressed over choosing an outfit on that day.Select clothes that make you feel empowered and confident.Remember, confidence starts with feeling good in your own skin,and the right outfit can be helpful in that journey. Mirror the other person's body language.If you're struggling to connect with a person and have different views,mirroring their behavior can help you.39 Whether you like what they're saying or not,it doesn't matter that much. Be swan-like.Think of yourself as a swan on a pond.You can sail calmly,but secretly be working hard,kicking your legs at full speed beneath the water.40 You can shake out your tension later with a dance or a bath. A.Then,how to create the right impression? B.If you're going to a social event,preparation is key. C.Body language makes a difference in any social contexts. D.It's like becoming an automatic printer of their behaviors. E.Despite my resistance,I can see mum gave me a useful life skill. F.Keep your stress in check,hold your head high and move proudly. G.It's an effective way to connect with them and make them feel understood. 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。 Yang Haoran,born into a family of cotton farmers.spent his childhood playing in the cotton fields.Ile 41 how hard his parents had to work using conventional farming methods,as well as how automation has 42 productivity and saved labor. 高二·英语第6页（共8页） Having finished university,Yang became a 43 farmer himself.However,unlike his parents,his experience has been very 44 he manages over 200.000 square meters of cotton fields and always 45 new ways to improve efficiency through technological 46 In 2018.he saw the great 47 of using drones (in farming and established his own company,which 48 13 drone operators,all of whom are post-90s workers like Yang himself."We are like a big family,with members from different ethnic groups,"Yang said 49 In peak growing season,they move their 50 in a skillful way over the fields while in the off-season,they train local farmers to 51 drones.To date,Yang's team has trained hundreds of local farmers."This will enable them to acquire new technologies,allowing them to 52 the advances in modern agriculture,he said.
