B On family trips, my mother always wanted to watch the sunset. She never asked for much — just a spot near the water before the light melted into the horizon. But this simple wish rarely came true. My food allergies (过敏) turned every dinner into a puzzle: questions fired at waiters, warnings scanned from menus, and choices weighed with care. It was a long wait. By the time we found parking and raced to the shore, the sun had usually slipped below the edge of the world, taking my mother’s hope with it. Once, in Hawaii, we came so close. After an early dinner, we drove back toward the beach, and my mother smiled because, for once, the timing was on our side. Then, unexpectedly, we were stopped on the road by the police for a security check. While we were waiting, the sky put on its evening show — orange bleeding into red, red fading into gray. My mother said nothing. She only sighed as the sun disappeared. For years, I thought my mother was simply chasing beauty. Only later did I understand that she was chasing a few quiet minutes that belonged to her. She had spent much of her life planning meals, solving problems and making sure everyone else was safe. A sunset was small, but it was hers. Years later, I went to Alaska for a writing program. There, near the summer solstice (夏至), the sunsets refused to end. They stretched across the evening like a slow song, paying no attention to clocks or schedules. I would write, eat, wash the dishes, and return to the window to find the sky still painted with fire. One evening, I wished I could fold that Alaskan sunset into a letter and send it home to her — not the colors, but the feeling that time was wide and generous. Perhaps love is not about pouring yourself out until you are empty. Perhaps a family can hold one another close and still leave room for each person to simply watch the sky. 4. What made it difficult for the family to watch a sunset? A. The mother’s food allergies. B. The waiter’s selected menus. C. Unfamiliar parking locations. D. Time-consuming daily routines. 5. How did the mother react while waiting for the security check? A. She tried to solve the problems. B. She kept silent and let out a sigh. C. She stretched and relaxed herself. D. She comforted the worried family. 6. What can we learn about the mother’s wish? A. It was mainly about natural beauty. B. It helped her avoid family duties. C. It was her own moment of peace. D. It creates lasting family memories. 7. What did the author finally realize? A. Family regrets fade with time. B. Natural beauty offers comfort. C. True love allows each soul its own stillness. D. Successful trips depend on careful planning. C You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见). The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point. Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics. The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should. Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making. 8. What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A real bargain. B. A free item. C. An identical product. D. An unexpected gift. 9. What is the cause of the anchoring bias? A. Reference point loss. B. Independent analysis. C. Brain’s energy-saving nature. D. Brain’s heavy burden. 10. What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias? A. Ignoring its reasons. B. Weighing various choices. C. Seeking its impacts. D. Interrupting relevant thoughts. 11. What is the purpose of this article? A. To show how to bargain wisely. B. To explain a hidden mental trap. C. To warn against quick decisions. D. To criticize a common phenomenon. D When danger approaches, many creatures seem to follow the ancient proverb that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Researchers have recently found subtle ways that animals communicate with other species in this kind of cooperative defense agreement. For example, a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution documented more than 20 bird species on four continents that let out similar “whining” calls when they spot brood parasites (巢寄生生物) such as cuckoos. That call is recruiting (招募) individuals to come together against this common enemy. At a field site in Australia, Kennerley has witnessed individuals from a dozen or more species attack a cuckoo in response to a chorus of whining calls. These mobs can be so ferocious that Kennerley and his colleagues need to cage the taxidermy cuckoo used in their experiments to protect it. Otherwise, the attacking birds would have “just completely torn it to pieces,” Kennerley says. Many birds also share a common vocabulary for predators. Studies show that various songbirds — and even red squirrels — produce recognizable “seet” calls to warn of a raptor (猛禽) in flight. The calls are too high-pitched for raptors to hear well, so the raptors remain unaware as information about their arrival spreads through the forest. If the raptor approaches, songbirds switch to “mobbing” calls, a distinct vocalization that, as Greene puts it, “draws in the troops to drive that raptor away.” But cooperative defense is not the only reason for cross-species communication. A recent study found that when seabirds with good vision, such as black-browed albatrosses, hunt with seabirds with strong senses of smell, such as white-chinned petrels, they both have far greater success at catching krill. Unlike the seet and whining calls, however, it’s unclear whether they’re deliberately signaling to one another or “just randomly following other birds,” says study lead author Jesse Granger, an organismal biophysicist at Duke University. But clearly, “very complex multispecies communication networks are pervasive (无处不在的),” he adds. “It can save their lives.” 12. What is the main purpose of the “whining” calls made by birds? A. To invite other species to join the chorus. B. To warn their own species of approaching danger. C. To spread information about potential food sources. D. To seek cross-species help to fight common enemies. 13. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Songbirds can encode their messages. B. Mobbing calls are hard to recognize. C. Songbirds outperform raptors in hearing. D. Raptors share a vocabulary with songbirds. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The limits of the research methods. B. Another motivation for the interactions. C. The potential risks of the communication. D. The underlying logic of the defense strategy. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Mystery of Animal Language B. The Strategy of Cooperative Defense C. The Secret of Cross-Species Communication D. The Complexity of Multi-species Communication 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Something annoying about learning: the things that make learning feel productive are usually the things that slow it down. Cramming feels great. You sit down, you grind through the material, and by the end of the session, you feel like you’ve got it. And then two weeks later — gone. ____16____ The fix is one of the most well-supported findings in learning science: spaced repetition. Instead of bunching all your practice together in one session, you spread it out over time. In the 1880s, Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered what is now called the forgetting curve. Without any review, you lose most of what you learn within a day. ____17____ Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important. ____18____ When you encounter the same material again, your brain essentially says, “Oh, this keeps coming back. Must be important.” And it invests more resources in holding onto it. Each time you successfully recall something after a gap, you reset the forgetting curve. So how long should you wait between sessions? The optimal gap is roughly 10-20% of the time you want to remember the material. For instance, you can space your practice 3-5 days apart if you are studying for a test in a month. ____19____ You’re not trying to prevent forgetting; you’re trying to practice retrieving after some forgetting has occurred. As long as you get it right, the exact intervals are less critical. You don’t need to overcomplicate this. Start with something simple and build from there. ____20____ It’s that you’re willing to do the thing that feels harder in the moment because you understand it produces better results in the long run. That’s true for spacing. Honestly, it’s true for most of learning. A. Spacing delivers a fairly different signal. B. That sounds terrible, but this isn’t a design flaw. C. This isn’t a failure of effort but a failure of strategy. D. Despite this, the science of the brain tells a different story. E. The most important thing isn’t the specific strategy you use. F. Forgetting establishes necessary conditions for stronger re-learning. G. But here’s what matters more than any specific schedule: the principle. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节；满分55分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 It’s a small gas station.

Held ___42___ mid-June through October, it offers local food, drinks and live performances. Visitors can also try traditional crafts rather than just watch.

As an 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching (紧握) my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen. So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid. A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time. At our first rehearsal (排练), I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals (反驳). Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled. By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each“ keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省扬州中学2026-2027学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语 试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1．作答第1卷前，请考生务必将自己的姓名、考试证号等写在答题卡上并贴上条形码 2．将选择题答案填写在答题卡的指定位置上（使用机读卡的用2B铅笔在机读卡上填涂），非选择题一律在答题卡上作答，在试卷上答题无效。 3．考试结束后，请将机读卡和答题卡交监考人员。 第I卷（选择题共95分） 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.

She never asked for much — just a spot near the water before the light melted into the horizon. But this simple wish rarely came true. My food allergies (过敏) turned every dinner into a puzzle: questions fired at waiters, warnings scanned from menus, and choices weighed with care. It was a long wait. By the time we found parking and raced to the shore, the sun had usually slipped below the edge of the world, taking my mother’s hope with it. Once, in Hawaii, we came so close. After an early dinner, we drove back toward the beach, and my mother smiled because, for once, the timing was on our side. Then, unexpectedly, we were stopped on the road by the police for a security check. While we were waiting, the sky put on its evening show — orange bleeding into red, red fading into gray. My mother said nothing. She only sighed as the sun disappeared. For years, I thought my mother was simply chasing beauty. Only later did I understand that she was chasing a few quiet minutes that belonged to her. She had spent much of her life planning meals, solving problems and making sure everyone else was safe. A sunset was small, but it was hers. Years later, I went to Alaska for a writing program. There, near the summer solstice (夏至), the sunsets refused to end. They stretched across the evening like a slow song, paying no attention to clocks or schedules. I would write, eat, wash the dishes, and return to the window to find the sky still painted with fire. One evening, I wished I could fold that Alaskan sunset into a letter and send it home to her — not the colors, but the feeling that time was wide and generous. Perhaps love is not about pouring yourself out until you are empty. Perhaps a family can hold one another close and still leave room for each person to simply watch the sky. 4. What made it difficult for the family to watch a sunset? A. The mother’s food allergies. B. The waiter’s selected menus. C. Unfamiliar parking locations. D. Time-consuming daily routines. 5. How did the mother react while waiting for the security check? A. She tried to solve the problems. B. She kept silent and let out a sigh. C. She stretched and relaxed herself. D. She comforted the worried family. 6. What can we learn about the mother’s wish? A. It was mainly about natural beauty. B. It helped her avoid family duties. C. It was her own moment of peace. D. It creates lasting family memories. 7. What did the author finally realize? A. Family regrets fade with time. B. Natural beauty offers comfort. C. True love allows each soul its own stillness. D. Successful trips depend on careful planning. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者家出游常因处理过敏事宜错过母亲想看的日落。后来作者明白母亲是渴求属于自己的宁静。在阿拉斯加，作者领悟真爱是相伴同时留给彼此独处的空间。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My food allergies (过敏) turned every dinner into a puzzle: questions fired at waiters, warnings scanned from menus, and choices weighed with care. It was a long wait. By the time we found parking and raced to the shore, the sun had usually slipped below the edge of the world, taking my mother’s hope with it.(我的食物过敏让每顿晚餐都变成了一场谜题：（我们）向服务员询问诸多问题，菜单上的警告被仔细扫视，各种选择也需谨慎权衡。等待的时间很长。当我们找到停车位并冲向海岸时，太阳通常早已沉入地平线，带走了我母亲的希望)”可知，每天繁琐的日常事务让家人难以观看日落。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While we were waiting, the sky put on its evening show — orange bleeding into red, red fading into gray. My mother said nothing. She only sighed as the sun disappeared.(等待期间，天空上演了它的黄昏秀——橙色逐渐转为红色，红色又褪成灰色。母亲一言不发，只是在太阳消失时轻轻叹了口气)”可知，母亲在等待安检时沉默不语，叹了口气。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Only later did I understand that she was chasing a few quiet minutes that belonged to her. She had spent much of her life planning meals, solving problems and making sure everyone else was safe. A sunset was small, but it was hers.(直到后来我才明白，她正在追逐属于自己的片刻宁静。她一生中的大部分时间都在筹划餐食、解决问题，并确保每个人的安全。夕阳虽小，却属于她)”可知，母亲的意愿是她自己内心的宁静时刻。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Perhaps love is not about pouring yourself out until you are empty. Perhaps a family can hold one another close and still leave room for each person to simply watch the sky.(也许爱并不在于倾尽自己，直到空无一物。也许一个家庭可以彼此紧紧相依，同时仍为每个人留出空间，让他们只是静静仰望天空)”可知，作者最终明白了真正的爱让每个灵魂都拥有属于自己的宁静。 C You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见). The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point. Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics. The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should. Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making. 8. What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A real bargain. B. A free item. C. An identical product. D. An unexpected gift. 9. What is the cause of the anchoring bias? A. Reference point loss. B. Independent analysis. C. Brain’s energy-saving nature. D. Brain’s heavy burden. 10. What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias? A. Ignoring its reasons. B. Weighing various choices. C. Seeking its impacts. D. Interrupting relevant thoughts. 11. What is the purpose of this article? A. To show how to bargain wisely. B. To explain a hidden mental trap. C. To warn against quick decisions. D. To criticize a common phenomenon. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了锚定偏见的定义、成因、影响场景，说明无法完全规避该认知偏差，给出应对策略，解释这一常见心理陷阱。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词上文语境“You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650,(你走进一家服装店，看到一件标价1800美元的皮大衣，立刻觉得价格太高，便转身离开。当天晚些时候，你又发现同款大衣正在打折，售价只有650美元……)”可知，你最初看到一件皮衣标价1800美元觉得极贵，后来发现同一件衣服降价到650美元，巨大的价格落差会让你立刻觉得捡到了大便宜。由此可知，该划线短语意思是：真正划算的交易/便宜货。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. (这种偏差的存在是因为人类大脑天生倾向于节省精神能量。重新计算价值需要耗费大量认知努力，因此我们往往会自动依赖第一个可用的参考点，而不是进行完全独立的分析)”可知，锚定偏见产生的原因是大脑具有节能的本性。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段末句“Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making.(同时，考虑多种选择总是辅助决策的好主意)”可知，应对锚定偏见的一个好方法是考虑多个选项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见).(你可能没有意识到的是，你的判断受到了锚定偏见的误导)”并通读全文可知，文章通过购物、买车等生活实例引出了“锚定偏见（anchoring bias）”这一概念，并详细解释了这种心理现象的定义、产生原因以及应对策略。第三段中“This trap does not only appear in shopping; ...(这个陷阱不仅出现在购物中；……)”提出，这种现象是一种心理陷阱。因此，本文的主要目的是向读者解释一种隐藏的心理陷阱。 D When danger approaches, many creatures seem to follow the ancient proverb that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Researchers have recently found subtle ways that animals communicate with other species in this kind of cooperative defense agreement. For example, a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution documented more than 20 bird species on four continents that let out similar “whining” calls when they spot brood parasites (巢寄生生物) such as cuckoos. That call is recruiting (招募) individuals to come together against this common enemy. At a field site in Australia, Kennerley has witnessed individuals from a dozen or more species attack a cuckoo in response to a chorus of whining calls. These mobs can be so ferocious that Kennerley and his colleagues need to cage the taxidermy cuckoo used in their experiments to protect it. Otherwise, the attacking birds would have “just completely torn it to pieces,” Kennerley says. Many birds also share a common vocabulary for predators. Studies show that various songbirds — and even red squirrels — produce recognizable “seet” calls to warn of a raptor (猛禽) in flight. The calls are too high-pitched for raptors to hear well, so the raptors remain unaware as information about their arrival spreads through the forest. If the raptor approaches, songbirds switch to “mobbing” calls, a distinct vocalization that, as Greene puts it, “draws in the troops to drive that raptor away.” But cooperative defense is not the only reason for cross-species communication. A recent study found that when seabirds with good vision, such as black-browed albatrosses, hunt with seabirds with strong senses of smell, such as white-chinned petrels, they both have far greater success at catching krill. Unlike the seet and whining calls, however, it’s unclear whether they’re deliberately signaling to one another or “just randomly following other birds,” says study lead author Jesse Granger, an organismal biophysicist at Duke University. But clearly, “very complex multispecies communication networks are pervasive (无处不在的),” he adds. “It can save their lives.” 12. What is the main purpose of the “whining” calls made by birds? A. To invite other species to join the chorus. B. To warn their own species of approaching danger. C. To spread information about potential food sources. D. To seek cross-species help to fight common enemies. 13. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Songbirds can encode their messages. B. Mobbing calls are hard to recognize. C. Songbirds outperform raptors in hearing. D. Raptors share a vocabulary with songbirds. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The limits of the research methods. B. Another motivation for the interactions. C. The potential risks of the communication. D. The underlying logic of the defense strategy. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Mystery of Animal Language B. The Strategy of Cooperative Defense C. The Secret of Cross-Species Communication D. The Complexity of Multi-species Communication 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了动物存在跨物种交流现象，既介绍鸟类为合作防御发出叫声抵御天敌的案例，也提及部分海鸟协作觅食的情况，说明复杂的多物种交流网络在自然界十分普遍。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution documented more than 20 bird species on four continents that let out similar “whining” calls when they spot brood parasites (巢寄生生物) such as cuckoos. That call is recruiting (招募) individuals to come together against this common enemy.(例如，《自然·生态与进化》近期一项研究记录到，四大洲二十多种鸟类发现布谷鸟这类巢寄生生物时，会发出相似的‘哀鸣’叫声。这种叫声用来招募个体，共同对抗这一共同的敌人。)”可知，鸟类发出“哀鸣”叫声的主要目的是寻求跨物种的帮助来对抗共同敌人。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Studies show that various songbirds — and even red squirrels — produce recognizable “seet” calls to warn of a raptor (猛禽) in flight.(研究表明，多种鸣禽甚至红松鼠会发出辨识度很高的‘seet’叫声，以此警示有猛禽正在飞来。)”以及“If the raptor approaches, songbirds switch to “mobbing” calls(如果猛禽不断靠近，鸣禽就切换为‘围攻’叫声)”可知，鸣禽可以发出不同叫声传递不同信息，由此可推知鸣禽能够对信息进行编码。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。第五段的主旨句为“But cooperative defense is not the only reason for cross‑species communication.(但合作防御并不是跨物种交流的唯一原因。)”再结合本段介绍海鸟合作捕食的事例可知，第五段主要介绍物种间产生互动的另一种动机。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。前文依次介绍了动物借助跨物种交流开展合作防御、海鸟协作觅食等现象，第六段“But clearly, “very complex multispecies communication networks are pervasive (无处不在的),” he adds. “It can save their lives.”(但显而易见，‘十分复杂的多物种交流网络无处不在’，他补充说道，‘这能够挽救它们的生命。’)”是全文的主旨句，文章围绕动物跨物种交流的多样表现及其生存意义展开。C项表示“跨物种交流的奥秘”，能涵盖本文主旨，适合作为本文标题。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Something annoying about learning: the things that make learning feel productive are usually the things that slow it down. Cramming feels great. You sit down, you grind through the material, and by the end of the session, you feel like you’ve got it. And then two weeks later — gone. ____16____ The fix is one of the most well-supported findings in learning science: spaced repetition. Instead of bunching all your practice together in one session, you spread it out over time. In the 1880s, Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered what is now called the forgetting curve. Without any review, you lose most of what you learn within a day. ____17____ Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important. ____18____ When you encounter the same material again, your brain essentially says, “Oh, this keeps coming back. Must be important.” And it invests more resources in holding onto it. Each time you successfully recall something after a gap, you reset the forgetting curve. So how long should you wait between sessions? The optimal gap is roughly 10-20% of the time you want to remember the material. For instance, you can space your practice 3-5 days apart if you are studying for a test in a month. ____19____ You’re not trying to prevent forgetting; you’re trying to practice retrieving after some forgetting has occurred. As long as you get it right, the exact intervals are less critical. You don’t need to overcomplicate this. Start with something simple and build from there. ____20____ It’s that you’re willing to do the thing that feels harder in the moment because you understand it produces better results in the long run. That’s true for spacing. Honestly, it’s true for most of learning. A. Spacing delivers a fairly different signal. B. That sounds terrible, but this isn’t a design flaw. C. This isn’t a failure of effort but a failure of strategy. D. Despite this, the science of the brain tells a different story. E. The most important thing isn’t the specific strategy you use. F. Forgetting establishes necessary conditions for stronger re-learning. G. But here’s what matters more than any specific schedule: the principle. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章指出死记硬背效率低下，介绍间隔重复学习法，解释大脑遗忘筛选机制，说明合理间隔复习能强化记忆，强调学习重在遵循原理而非纠结固定时间表。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Something annoying about learning: the things that make learning feel productive are usually the things that slow it down. Cramming feels great. You sit down, you grind through the material, and by the end of the session, you feel like you’ve got it. And then two weeks later — gone.(学习过程中存在一个令人烦恼的现象：那些让人觉得学习有成效的事情往往恰恰会拖慢学习进度。临时抱佛脚的感觉很棒。你坐下来，埋头苦学相关内容，到学习结束时，你会觉得自己掌握了这些知识。然而，两周之后——全都没了)”可知，第一段提到突击学习短期感觉有效，但两周后知识全部遗忘，后文引出间隔重复的正确学习策略，C选项“这不是努力的失败，而是策略的失败”承接上文问题，引出下文解决方案。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important.(你的大脑正在正常地发挥其功能——进行筛选。每天你都会接触到大量的信息，而你的大脑必须决定哪些信息重要，哪些不重要。如果你只看到某件事一次，然后就不再去关注它，那么你的大脑会合理地得出结论：这件事其实并不那么重要)”以及前文提到不复习一天内就会遗忘大部分知识可知，遗忘是大脑正常的过滤功能，B选项“这听起来很糟糕，但这不是设计缺陷”承接上文遗忘现象，引出下文对遗忘合理性的解释。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important.(你的大脑正在正常地发挥其功能——进行筛选。每天你都会接触到大量的信息，而你的大脑必须决定哪些信息重要，哪些不重要。如果你只看到某件事一次，然后就不再去关注它，那么你的大脑会合理地得出结论：这件事其实并不那么重要)”以及后文“When you encounter the same material again, your brain essentially says, “Oh, this keeps coming back. Must be important.” And it invests more resources in holding onto it. Each time you successfully recall something after a gap, you reset the forgetting curve.(当你再次接触到同样的内容时，你的大脑会这样想：“哦，这个总是反复出现。肯定很重要。”于是它会投入更多资源来记住它。每次在间隔一段时间后成功回忆起某件事，你都会重新调整遗忘曲线)”可知，前文提到只接触一次的内容，大脑会判定为不重要；后文提到再次接触同一内容，大脑会判定为重要，A选项“间隔复习传递了相当不同的信号”衔接前后两种不同的大脑判断，符合逻辑。 【19题详解】 根据上文“So how long should you wait between sessions? The optimal gap is roughly 10-20% of the time you want to remember the material. For instance, you can space your practice 3-5 days apart if you are studying for a test in a month.(那么，每次学习之间应该间隔多久呢？最佳间隔时间大约是您想要记住所学内容所需时间的10%至20%。例如，如果您要在一个月后参加考试，可以将练习安排在3至5天之后进行)”以及后文“You’re not trying to prevent forgetting; you’re trying to practice retrieving after some forgetting has occurred. As long as you get it right, the exact intervals are less critical.(你并非是为了防止遗忘而努力；而是为了在遗忘发生之后能够重新获取记忆。只要方法得当，具体的间隔时间就不太重要了)”可知，前文介绍了间隔复习的最优时间安排，后文指出具体间隔远没有原则重要，G选项“但比任何具体日程更重要的是核心原则”转折引出下文对原则的解释，符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 根据上文“You don’t need to overcomplicate this. Start with something simple and build from there.(你无需把这件事搞得过于复杂。先从简单的事情做起，然后逐步推进)”可知，前文指出间隔重复不需要复杂化，后文用“It’s that...”点明核心是什么，E选项“最重要的不是你用的具体策略”对应后文的转折，构成“不是……而是……”的逻辑，符合语义。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节；满分55分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 It’s a small gas station.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了加油站店员拦下三名准备偷食物的流浪者，得知他们因饥饿行窃后不予追责，提供安全的过期食物，维护了他们的自尊。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：柜台后面的这位年轻人知道每位顾客的名字和他们通常购买的东西。A. friends朋友；B. neighbors邻居；C. customers顾客；D. visitors参观者。根据下文“their usual purchases”可知，来购买东西的人自然是顾客。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：他对每个人给予平等的尊重，生意冷清的时候，他就在柜台后面看书。A. respect尊重；B. pride骄傲；C. wisdom智慧；D. patience耐心。根据空前的“treats everyone with equal”可知，他对所有人一视同仁；又根据第三段最后一句“Help yourselves.”，倒数第二段第二句“They were being treated as human beings who could ____ the wrong they’d done.”，及该段最后一句“They were ____ that, if they needed food again, they were to ask and not just grab.”可知，店员请他们吃东西、把三个行窃的无家可归者当作“人”来对待，提醒他们以后开口求助，正是尊重的体现。 【23题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他对每个人给予平等的尊重，生意冷清的时候，他就在柜台后面看书。A. slow冷清的；B. busy繁忙的；C. heavy繁重的；D. crowded拥挤的。根据上文“reads behind the counter”可知，能在柜台后看书，应是没有生意或生意冷清之时，店员才有此闲暇。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：他按下紧急报警按钮，越过柜台，锁上了前门。A. opened打开；B. locked锁上；C. blocked堵住；D. broke打破。根据上文“hit the panic button”可知，他已经报警，此时锁上前门是为了防止三人夺门而逃。 【25题详解】 考查代词。句意：显然，他们是无家可归的人，而且不会带着这些食物去任何地方。A. nowhere没有地方；B. somewhere某处；C. anywhere任何地方；D. everywhere处处。根据上文“were homeless”可知，他们应该是无处可去。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们扔下食物，惊慌失措地挤在一起，知道警察正在赶来的路上。A. hid藏；B. lifted举起；C. swallowed吞下；D. dropped扔下。根据第四段“They were told to ____ the dropped food and put it back”可知，他们被告知把扔下的食物捡起来放回原处，说明应是先是把食物扔下了。 【27题详解】 考查介词。句意：他们扔下食物，惊慌失措地挤在一起，知道警察正在赶来的路上。A. in在……里；B. on在……上；C. off离开；D. by在……旁。此处为固定搭配on the way，意为“在路上、即将到来”。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我们后面的仓库里有食物，虽然过了保质期，但吃起来仍然是安全的。A. safe安全的；B. easy容易的；C. fit适合的；D. able能够的。根据上文“expired (（食物）过了保质期、过期的)”可知，食物过期了，但应仍是可放心食用的，店员说这句话是为了打消三人对食物的顾虑、让他们安心吃。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：他们被告知把扔下的食物捡起来放回原处，然后要清理他们弄乱的东西。A. take up占据，开始从事；B. pick up捡起；C. hand in上交；D. hand out分发。根据下文“put it back”可知，放回去之前应是先捡起来。 【30题详解】 考查连词。句意：他们正在收拾，就在这时警察赶到了。A. when就在这时；B. until直到；C. after在……之后；D. before在……之前。空前用过去进行时，表明当时正在发生的动作，而空后用一般过去时，表明前一动作正在进行时另一动作突然发生；此处“他们正在收拾”与“警察赶到”正是这种关系，应用when引导时间状语从句。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：这并不是他们所预料的。A. wanted想要；B. planned计划；C. expected预料；D. admired钦佩。根据第二段“They ____ the food and crowded together in panic — knowing the police were ____ the way.”可知，三人之前很恐慌，以为偷东西会被警察逮捕惩罚；又根据下文“They were being treated as human beings”可知，他们被当作人来对待，这应是出乎他们意料的。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们被当作能够改正自己所犯错事的人来对待。A. change改变；B. right纠正；C. fix修理；D. adjust调整。right the wrong为固定搭配，意为“纠正错误”。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们被提醒，如果以后还需要食物，就直接来要，而不要擅自去拿。A. reminded提醒；B. warned警告；C. ordered命令；D. persuaded劝说。根据下文“if they needed food again, they were to ask and not just grab”可知，店员这句话是告知他们今后该怎么做，是善意的叮嘱，属于提醒的范畴。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他是世界上最不可能说自己是英雄的人。A. first第一个；B. last最后一个；C. best最好的；D. least最少的。根据上文“ The young man went back to read.”和下文“Yet he gave three people something they were badly in need of”可知，年轻人给予了那三个人最需要的东西，自己却只是回去看书，因此他是最不可能说自己是英雄的人。“the last person to do sth.”是固定表达，意为“最不可能做某事的人”。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他给了三个人他们急需的东西——一点点微薄的自尊和一丝希望。A. large大量的；B. fair相当的；C. small少量的；D. full满的。根据本句中的“a little bit of hope”可知，此处强调数量之小，空处应指正是这看似微不足道的自尊和希望，对三人来说却是极其需要的。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 第二节 短文填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 For almost six centuries, Longfusi in central Beijing has been a place ___36___ people gather.

As an 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching (紧握) my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen. So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid. A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time. At our first rehearsal (排练), I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals (反驳). Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled. By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each“ keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone. For a long moment, the room went silent — you could have heard a pin drop. Then Olivia spoke, calm and steady: “It’s fine. We’ll start from scratch.” One by one, the others offered advice, shared notes, and cracked small jokes that eased the tension. From that day on, I stayed after school until the lights went out — repeating lines, practicing arguments, recording myself to correct every pause. My voice wavered, my notes were full of red marks, but fear slowly turned into focus. I was no longer pretending; I was learning to earn my place. A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day. My palms were sweating, and my heartbeat drowned out the audience. When I stumbled over a point, Olivia jumped in smoothly, guiding me back on track. Our teammates whispered reminders and adjusted timing, and by the final round, we were in sync. When the judges announced our victory, the applause felt like sunlight breaking through. Standing there, I understood something deeper than winning: the path I’d faked at first had led me to something real — courage I had built, friends who believed in me, and a place where I truly fit. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索展开。文章讲述转校生“我”为融入新集体，谎称曾获辩论赛冠军；被新同桌Olivia拉进校队后却露馅。在愧疚与恐惧中，“我”最终选择坦白，得到队友理解与帮助，历经苦练登上决赛舞台，完成从“伪装”到“真实成长”的蜕变。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone.(下次排练时，我终于向大家坦白了真相。)”可知，第一段可描写“我”坦白后短暂的尴尬、队友的反应、集体决定从零开始辅导“我”，以及“我”苦练辩论技巧的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day.(一个月后，Olivia和我一同踏上舞台，迎接大赛。)”可知，第二段可描写比赛当天“我”的紧张、团队默契配合、最终获胜，以及“我”领悟到“勇气与归属感”这一更深层的收获。 2. 续写线索： 坦白真相——团队包容——集体辅导——刻苦训练——赛场配合——获胜顿悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①缓解：ease / alleviate ②留下：stay / remain ③变成：turn into / change into 情绪类 ①安静的：silent / quiet ②镇静：calm / composed 【点睛】[高分句型1] One by one, the others offered advice, shared notes, and cracked small jokes that eased the tension.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] When I stumbled over a point, Olivia jumped in smoothly, guiding me back on track.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语） [高分句型3] Standing there, I understood something deeper than winning: the path I’d faked at first had led me to something real — courage I had built, friends who believed in me, and a place where I truly fit.（运用了现在分词作状语、who和where引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
