So, to help you narrow down which parks should be higher on your list, we ranked our four favourites based on their overall accessibility, facilities, trails and attractions. Kobuk Valley National Park Kobuk Valley often finds itself on the least-visited parks list due to its remote location in the Arctic Circle. In Kobuk, you can experience Alaskan wilderness by boating down the Kobuk River or hiking into the backcountry. You can also visit the park’s greatest wonder — the three dune (沙丘) fields that construct the most active arctic sand dunes on the planet. These dunes shape an otherworldly desert landscape you wouldn’t expect in the northern reaches of Alaska, and they’re guaranteed to blow your mind. Gateway Arch National Park Before 2018, Gateway Arch was recognized as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Constructed in 1965, the beloved 63-story, 630-foot stainless steel clad arch honours the historical significance of Thomas Jefferson’s westward expansion, as well as Dred Scott’s famed freedom suit. Thanks to a major renovation, visitors can now take a short walk from downtown St. Louis to check out exhibits on American Indians, Thomas Jefferson, and Lewis and Clark, spend time at the site of Dred Scott’s first two trials, or explore the newly-renovated American history museum. Hot Springs National Park If you’re looking for the fountain of youth, you might not have to look any further. Known as the “American Spa”, Hot Springs National Park has been the place to go for quality R&R since the early 1800s. Once named “the Valley of Vapours”, this 5,500-acre hot spring destination has long been considered a place of healing. Not only is this park home to 26 trails and a scenic drive, but you get the opportunity to be immersed in a traditional 1800’s European spa experience. Saguaro National Park The wild west is alive, and well in southern Arizona. Saguaro National Park is best known for its symbolic saguaro cacti (巨人柱仙人掌). Even though the saguaro is the symbol of the American desert, saguaro cacti are only found in small parts of the country. Fortunately, this 71,000-acre stretch of desert serves as their home. Saguaro National Park is divided into two sections: The Tucson Mountain District and Rincon Mountain District. Between the two districts, there are more than 165 miles of hiking trails. 1. What is special about Gateway Arch National Park? A. It is rich in historical value. B. It is full of amazing arches. C. It is famous for hiking trails. D. It is home to rare plants. 2. Which of the following was called “the Valley of Vapours” in the past? A. Kobuk Valley National Park. B. Hot Springs National Park. C. Saguaro National Park. D. Gateway Arch National Park. 3. What do Kobuk Valley National Park and Saguaro National Park have in common? A. They offer boating activities. B. They sit in cold Arctic areas. C. They display saguaro cacti. D. They have desert views. B When Jim Henson passed away on May 16, 1990, his death shocked the world. Jim was an artist, a visionary, and a legend in the world of puppeteering (木偶表演). Jim is best known for creating the iconic Muppets. He helped millions of children develop a lifelong love of learning through his work on Sesame Street and beyond. When he died, his devoted colleagues ensured that his legacy would live on. The Jim Henson Company continues to create memorable characters that appear on television and in film. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop has long been the creative hub for Muppeteers, and it’s now open to the public for tours. The New York City studio, once kept a secret, can now be explored by Muppet fans. Jason Weber, the shop’s creative supervisor, told the Associated Press the tours cost $150 per person and give unprecedented (前所未有的) access to Jim Henson’s Muppets and their incredible creators. “There is a level of expertise here that we’re sharing. It’s not just going to a pop-up store or something like that,” he said during a recent visit. “Things are made one-of-a kind, made by hand with artisans who have been trained for years and decades,” Jason said. Tours of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop last 80 minutes and take place on Saturdays. Visitors can take photos at only one spot along the way due to the secret, proprietary (专利的) nature of what’s inside. Visitors also have a chance to pick the brain of a Henson puppeteer during a meet-and-greet to learn more about how their favourite characters come to life. We have to believe that Jim would be unbelievably pleased with how his company stayed true to his vision all these years. 4. What makes Jim Henson well-known? A. He ran a famous public studio. B. He created the iconic Muppets. C. He worked for the Associated Press. D. He trained many skilled artisans. 5. Which of the following can best describe the Muppets displayed? A. Huge and popular. B. Common and cheap. C. Old and simple. D. Unique and handmade. 6. Why are visitors only allowed to take photos in one place during the tour? A. Things there are private and proprietary. B. Cameras may hurt the works. C. The studio has too many visitors. D. No workers like being photographed. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To tell Muppet stories. B. To praise visitors of the shop. C. To introduce a shop’s new tours. D. To talk about Henson’s early life. C Some might consider it mean to subject your beautiful young baby to the poor music choices you’ve made in the past, but a new study has found that playing musical games with them improves their music and speech processing powers. In the study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences compared the brain responses of two sets of babies who each underwent different types of active play. In the first group the babies played along with their parents with toy cars, blocks and other fun small items that required significant coordination (协作), but they conducted the session without music. The second group was led in a music activity where they were helped by their parents to tap out a beat to a waltz, a difficult time signature for babies to grasp. “In both the music and control groups, we gave babies experiences that were social, required their active involvement and included body movements — these are all characteristics that we know help people learn,” says lead author Christina Zhao. “The key difference between the play groups was whether the babies were moving to learn a musical rhythm.” Aside from discovering that babies playing the drums are completely adorable, the researchers found that babies in the music group showed stronger brain responses to changes in speech and music when they underwent tests, suggesting they were better able to detect patterns in sounds. “Babies experience a complex world in which sounds, lights and sensations vary constantly,” says co-author Patricia Kuhl. “Pattern perception is an important cognitive skill, and improving that ability early may have long-lasting effects on learning.” So next time you get out the baby toys it might be worth cranking up the stereo (立体音响) (OK, not too loud) and having a mini disco to boost your baby’s brainpower. 8. How did the researchers conduct the test? A. By teaching babies to sing pop music. B. By letting babies listen to music alone. C. By dividing babies into two play groups. D. By checking babies’ daily sleeping habits. 9. What can we know about the music group? A. They played toys more carefully. B. They disliked playing drums. C. They sang along to waltz music. D. They learned speech faster. 10. What does the underlined phrase “cranking up” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reflecting on. B. Picking up. C. Turning up. D. Taking on. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Ways to Choose Good Baby Music B. Music Helps Develop Baby Brains C. Advantages of Playing Toy Cars D. A New Study on Baby Sleeping D Researchers have identified a new species of dinosaur in Thailand, the largest found in Southeast Asia. It would have been about 90 feet long and weighed some 30 tons, according to research published on Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. That’s the weight of more than four large African savanna elephants, or more than three times the weight of a Tyrannosaurus rex. “One of the many features that we’re kind of excited about is the size of this dinosaur,” says Thitiwoot Sethapanichsakul, a Ph.D. student at University College London who is the lead author on the research paper. The sauropod — an herbivore (食草动物) with a long neck and tail — comes from the late Early Cretaceous period, some 100 to 120 million years ago, Sethapanichsakul says, and falls somewhere in the “upper middle” range of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. As big as this dinosaur was, sauropods were about to get a lot bigger. “It gives us an understanding of the potential kind of evolutionary trends that are beginning to occur around this time,” he says. Sethapanichsakul and his colleagues named it Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis. “Naga comes from the mythological Naga (serpent creature) that is worshipped in Southeast Asia. Titan just refers to size,” he says. Chaiyaphumensis comes from Chaiyaphum — the province where the dinosaur was found. The fossils were first discovered by a local resident in 2016 and initial excavation (挖掘) happened between then and 2019, but then funding dried up. When Sethapanichsakul’s team got new funding, the excavation restarted in 2024. Researchers don’t have the full skeleton (骨架) of Nagatitan; they are estimating its size from the spine, rib, pelvis and leg bones that were discovered. A front leg bone was nearly 6 feet long. “This is a big creature. Pretty nice material,” says Mathew Wedel, a paleontologist and professor of anatomy at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, Calif., who has studied sauropods. He was not involved in the project. He considers the quantity and quality of bones discovered to be “not bad”, as far as big dinosaurs go. “We’ve got several regions of skeleton represented. We’ve got several complete bones that aren’t distorted (变形) very much — enough to give us a lot of information.” 12. Why did researchers feel excited about this new dinosaur? A. It shows the trend of dinosaurs growing larger. B. It is the largest dinosaur ever found. C. Its whole skeleton has been found. D. It lived millions of years ago. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The living place of the dinosaur. B. The discovery time of the fossils. C. The dinosaur’s name and its meanings. D. Features of ancient creatures. 14. What makes the excavation stop in 2019? A. Worker shortage. B. The government’s order. C. Bad weather. D. Lack of money. 15. What is Wedel’s attitude towards the finding? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Uninterested. 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 Future of Food: What Will Be on Our Plates in 2050? As the global population races towards 10 billion by mid-century, and climate change threatens agricultural stability, one question becomes urgent and universal: ____16____? From lab-grown meat and insect protein to AI-designed meals and vertical farming (垂直农业), food innovation is speeding up rapidly. This article explores the key elements shaping tomorrow’s nutrition — grounded in sustainability, health, and technology. Alternative Proteins: Feeding the World Without the Cow Traditional meat production is responsible for nearly 15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions (排放). ____17____. In an effort to feed a growing global population without endangering the planet’s health, scientists and food innovators are turning to groundbreaking solutions. • Eatable insects — such as crickets and mealworms — are rich in protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, while requiring very few resources to raise. • Lab-grown meat — produced by multiplying animal cells in bioreactors — removes the need for slaughter (屠宰) and can significantly reduce environmental impact. ____18____ Vertical farms use layers of crops grown in environments where temperature, humidity, and light are precisely controlled, often integrated into urban architecture — ranging from warehouses and office buildings to skyscrapers devoted entirely to farming. Hydroponic systems (growing plants in nutrient-rich water) and aeroponic systems (growing plants in air and misted with nutrient solutions) allow crops to grow well without soil. These methods can significantly increase yield per unit area, cut water consumption by up to 95%, and remove the need for pesticides (杀虫剂) thanks to their controlled conditions. ____19____, reducing transportation costs and emissions. In an increasingly urbanized world, this form of agriculture could become a key foundation of global food security. Personalized Nutrition: Food Tailored to Your DNA Modern nutrition is moving towards an extraordinary level of personalization, where food science integrates with genetics, biotechnology, and data analysis. ____20____ . • DNA-based diets—genetic tests that identify how your body metabolizes (使新陈代谢) carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, helping determine the optimal balance for health and performance. A. What will we eat in the future B. How will food safety be ensured in our future C. Smart & Eco-Friendly Foods: Eating with the Planet in Mind D. It’s a major contributor to pollution and too much water consumption E. Vertical Farming & Hydroponics: Revolutionizing Urban Agriculture F. Beyond environmental benefits, vertical farms can be located close to consumption centres G. New technologies create nutrition plans matching one’s unique biological makeup 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Back in 2009, a house fire in Wenatchee, Washington turned into a life or death moment when firefighter Mike Hughes ____21____ a smoke-filled home and found a 9 month old baby alone in her crib (婴儿床).

When he first started his treatment, he had no idea how painful the journey would be. The chemotherapy (化疗) sessions were so painful that he often couldn’t sleep at night, and even simple tasks like eating or sitting up became a struggle. “It wasn’t even knowing I could die,” Jude later told local news outlet 11 Alive. “The chemo... it hurt.” Despite the unbearable physical and mental suffering, the young boy refused to give up. He held on bravely, enduring every tough medical procedure, every needle prick, and every moment of despair to beat the deadly disease. After months of hard fighting, 14-year-old Jude finally defeated cancer and became a survivor. Soon after, he qualified for a special wish from Make-A-Wish Georgia, a well known charity that grants wishes for children with serious illnesses. Usually, the charity tells kids they can wish to go somewhere amazing, be someone they admire, or meet a celebrity. But Jude had a unique idea that no other kid had ever proposed before, and he didn’t even have a backup wish. During his frequent trips to the hospital for treatment, Jude often saw many homeless people wandering the streets near the hospital. Some crowded in corners, shaking with the cold, while others begged for food to ease their hunger. Having experienced the despair of being trapped in hardship himself, Jude deeply sympathized with those living in poverty and helplessness. He knew he wanted to use his wish to give back to the community and help those in need. Emily Campbell, a coordinator (协调人) at Make-A-Wish Georgia, was greatly touched by his selfless wish, saying it was the most special request she had ever received. “His only wish was to give back to his community,” she told 11 Alive. “That’s not a wish we even tell kids is an option.” 注意： 1). 续写词数应为150个左右； 2). 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Following his wish, Jude worked closely with the charity team to carry out warm charity activities. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The kind-hearted teen shared his simple but powerful belief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 机密★启用前 高二年级11月期中教学质量检测 英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 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.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了美国四座国家公园的特色，包括可达性、设施、步道和景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Gateway Arch National Park部分中“Before 2018, Gateway Arch was recognized as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Constructed in 1965, the beloved 63-story, 630-foot stainless steel clad arch honours the historical significance of Thomas Jefferson’s westward expansion, as well as Dred Scott’s famed freedom suit. Thanks to a major renovation, visitors can now take a short walk from downtown St. Louis to check out exhibits on American Indians, Thomas Jefferson, and Lewis and Clark, spend time at the site of Dred Scott’s first two trials, or explore the newly-renovated American history museum.(2018年之前，大拱门被冠以“杰斐逊国家扩张纪念地”的称号。这座建于1965年、深受人们喜爱的63层、630英尺高的不锈钢拱门，纪念了托马斯·杰斐逊向西扩张的历史意义，以及德雷德·斯科特著名的自由诉讼案。得益于一次大规模翻修，游客现在可以从圣路易斯市中心步行一小段，参观关于美洲印第安人、托马斯·杰斐逊和刘易斯与克拉克的展览，在德雷德·斯科特最初两次审判的旧址驻足，或探索新近翻修的美国历史博物馆。)”可知，该公园具有丰富的历史价值。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hot Springs National Park部分中“Once named ‌“the Valley of Vapours”, this 5,500-acre hot spring destination has long been considered a place of healing.(这个占地5500英亩的温泉胜地曾被称为“蒸汽谷”，长期以来被认为是疗愈之地。)”可知，Hot Springs National Park过去被称为“the Valley of Vapours”。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kobuk Valley National Park部分中“These dunes shape an otherworldly desert landscape you wouldn’t expect in the northern reaches of Alaska(这些沙丘形成了你在阿拉斯加北部不会想到的超凡沙漠景观)”以及Saguaro National Park部分中“Fortunately, this 71,000-acre stretch of desert serves as their home.(幸运的是，这片71000英亩的沙漠是它们的家园。)”可知，这两个国家公园的共同点是都有沙漠景观。 B When Jim Henson passed away on May 16, 1990, his death shocked the world. Jim was an artist, a visionary, and a legend in the world of puppeteering (木偶表演). Jim is best known for creating the iconic Muppets. He helped millions of children develop a lifelong love of learning through his work on Sesame Street and beyond. When he died, his devoted colleagues ensured that his legacy would live on. The Jim Henson Company continues to create memorable characters that appear on television and in film. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop has long been the creative hub for Muppeteers, and it’s now open to the public for tours. The New York City studio, once kept a secret, can now be explored by Muppet fans. Jason Weber, the shop’s creative supervisor, told the Associated Press the tours cost $150 per person and give unprecedented (前所未有的) access to Jim Henson’s Muppets and their incredible creators. “There is a level of expertise here that we’re sharing. It’s not just going to a pop-up store or something like that,” he said during a recent visit. “Things are made one-of-a kind, made by hand with artisans who have been trained for years and decades,” Jason said. Tours of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop last 80 minutes and take place on Saturdays. Visitors can take photos at only one spot along the way due to the secret, proprietary (专利的) nature of what’s inside. Visitors also have a chance to pick the brain of a Henson puppeteer during a meet-and-greet to learn more about how their favourite characters come to life. We have to believe that Jim would be unbelievably pleased with how his company stayed true to his vision all these years. 4. What makes Jim Henson well-known? A. He ran a famous public studio. B. He created the iconic Muppets. C. He worked for the Associated Press. D. He trained many skilled artisans. 5. Which of the following can best describe the Muppets displayed? A. Huge and popular. B. Common and cheap. C. Old and simple. D. Unique and handmade. 6. Why are visitors only allowed to take photos in one place during the tour? A. Things there are private and proprietary. B. Cameras may hurt the works. C. The studio has too many visitors. D. No workers like being photographed. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To tell Muppet stories. B. To praise visitors of the shop. C. To introduce a shop’s new tours. D. To talk about Henson’s early life. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍吉姆·汉森的生物工坊如今对外开放参观，说明了参观票价、时长、规定以及工坊特色。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Jim is best known for creating the iconic Muppets.(吉姆最为人熟知的是创造了标志性的布偶)”可知，让他闻名于世的是他创造了这些标志性的布偶。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Things are made one-of-a kind, made by hand with artisans who have been trained for years and decades,” Jason said. (杰森说：“这些东西都是独一无二的，由经过数年乃至数十年训练的工匠手工制作。”)”可知，展出的布偶独特且为手工制作。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Visitors can take photos at only one spot along the way due to the secret, proprietary (专利的) nature of what’s inside. (由于内部物品具有保密性和专利属性，游客在参观过程中只能在一个地点拍照)”可知，限制拍照是因为里面的物品是私密且受专利保护的。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段引出Jim Henson的生物工作室现在向公众开放参观，随后的第二、三、四段详细介绍了该参观项目的门票价格、参观内容、时长以及相关规定等，因此，作者撰写本文的主要目的是向读者介绍该工作室推出的新参观项目。 C Some might consider it mean to subject your beautiful young baby to the poor music choices you’ve made in the past, but a new study has found that playing musical games with them improves their music and speech processing powers. In the study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences compared the brain responses of two sets of babies who each underwent different types of active play. In the first group the babies played along with their parents with toy cars, blocks and other fun small items that required significant coordination (协作), but they conducted the session without music. The second group was led in a music activity where they were helped by their parents to tap out a beat to a waltz, a difficult time signature for babies to grasp. “In both the music and control groups, we gave babies experiences that were social, required their active involvement and included body movements — these are all characteristics that we know help people learn,” says lead author Christina Zhao. “The key difference between the play groups was whether the babies were moving to learn a musical rhythm.” Aside from discovering that babies playing the drums are completely adorable, the researchers found that babies in the music group showed stronger brain responses to changes in speech and music when they underwent tests, suggesting they were better able to detect patterns in sounds. “Babies experience a complex world in which sounds, lights and sensations vary constantly,” says co-author Patricia Kuhl. “Pattern perception is an important cognitive skill, and improving that ability early may have long-lasting effects on learning.” So next time you get out the baby toys it might be worth cranking up the stereo (立体音响) (OK, not too loud) and having a mini disco to boost your baby’s brainpower. 8. How did the researchers conduct the test? A. By teaching babies to sing pop music. B. By letting babies listen to music alone. C. By dividing babies into two play groups. D. By checking babies’ daily sleeping habits. 9. What can we know about the music group? A. They played toys more carefully. B. They disliked playing drums. C. They sang along to waltz music. D. They learned speech faster. 10. What does the underlined phrase “cranking up” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reflecting on. B. Picking up. C. Turning up. D. Taking on. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Ways to Choose Good Baby Music B. Music Helps Develop Baby Brains C. Advantages of Playing Toy Cars D. A New Study on Baby Sleeping 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍一项新研究，和宝宝进行音乐互动游戏可以提升宝宝的音乐与语音处理能力，促进大脑发育。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences compared the brain responses of two sets of babies who each underwent different types of active play. (这项发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的研究中，华盛顿大学学习与脑科学研究所的科学家对比了两组婴儿的大脑反应，每组婴儿参与不同类型的互动游戏)”可知，研究人员是通过将婴儿分成两个游戏组来进行对比测试的。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Aside from discovering that babies playing the drums are completely adorable, the researchers found that babies in the music group showed stronger brain responses to changes in speech and music when they underwent tests, suggesting they were better able to detect patterns in sounds. (除了发现打鼓的婴儿非常可爱外，研究人员发现，音乐组的婴儿在测试中对语音和音乐的变化表现出更强的大脑反应，这表明他们更善于识别声音模式)”可知，音乐组的婴儿在语言处理能力上得到了提升，由此可推知，他们学习语言的速度更快。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“So next time you get out the baby toys it might be worth cranking up the stereo (立体音响) (OK, not too loud) and having a mini disco to boost your baby’s brainpower. (所以下次拿出婴儿玩具时，不妨cranking up立体音响(当然不要开太大声)，来一场小型迪斯科，促进宝宝脑力发展)”可知，该动作与调节音响的音量有关，cranking up在此处意为“调大音量”，与Turning up意思一致。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some might consider it mean to subject your beautiful young baby to the poor music choices you’ve made in the past, but a new study has found that playing musical games with them improves their music and speech processing powers. (有些人可能觉得给小宝宝听你以前选的不好听的音乐不太好，但一项新研究发现，和宝宝玩音乐游戏能够提升他们的音乐和语音处理能力)”、最后一段“So next time you get, out the baby toys it might be worth cranking up the stereo (立体音响) (OK, not too loud) and having a mini disco to boost your baby’s brainpower. (所以下次拿出婴儿玩具时，不妨cranking up立体音响(当然不要开太大声)，来一场小型迪斯科，促进宝宝脑力发展)”以及文章内容可知，文章第一段开篇点题，指出玩音乐游戏能提高婴儿的音乐和语言处理能力，随后通过具体的对比实验证实了这一发现，并在最后一段总结建议父母播放音乐来促进婴儿的大脑发育。因此，“音乐有助于开发婴儿大脑”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。 D Researchers have identified a new species of dinosaur in Thailand, the largest found in Southeast Asia. It would have been about 90 feet long and weighed some 30 tons, according to research published on Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. That’s the weight of more than four large African savanna elephants, or more than three times the weight of a Tyrannosaurus rex. “One of the many features that we’re kind of excited about is the size of this dinosaur,” says Thitiwoot Sethapanichsakul, a Ph.D. student at University College London who is the lead author on the research paper. The sauropod — an herbivore (食草动物) with a long neck and tail — comes from the late Early Cretaceous period, some 100 to 120 million years ago, Sethapanichsakul says, and falls somewhere in the “upper middle” range of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. As big as this dinosaur was, sauropods were about to get a lot bigger. “It gives us an understanding of the potential kind of evolutionary trends that are beginning to occur around this time,” he says. Sethapanichsakul and his colleagues named it Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis. “Naga comes from the mythological Naga (serpent creature) that is worshipped in Southeast Asia. Titan just refers to size,” he says. Chaiyaphumensis comes from Chaiyaphum — the province where the dinosaur was found. The fossils were first discovered by a local resident in 2016 and initial excavation (挖掘) happened between then and 2019, but then funding dried up. When Sethapanichsakul’s team got new funding, the excavation restarted in 2024. Researchers don’t have the full skeleton (骨架) of Nagatitan; they are estimating its size from the spine, rib, pelvis and leg bones that were discovered. A front leg bone was nearly 6 feet long. “This is a big creature. Pretty nice material,” says Mathew Wedel, a paleontologist and professor of anatomy at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, Calif., who has studied sauropods. He was not involved in the project. He considers the quantity and quality of bones discovered to be “not bad”, as far as big dinosaurs go. “We’ve got several regions of skeleton represented. We’ve got several complete bones that aren’t distorted (变形) very much — enough to give us a lot of information.” 12. Why did researchers feel excited about this new dinosaur? A. It shows the trend of dinosaurs growing larger. B. It is the largest dinosaur ever found. C. Its whole skeleton has been found. D. It lived millions of years ago. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The living place of the dinosaur. B. The discovery time of the fossils. C. The dinosaur’s name and its meanings. D. Features of ancient creatures. 14. What makes the excavation stop in 2019? A. Worker shortage. B. The government’s order. C. Bad weather. D. Lack of money. 15. What is Wedel’s attitude towards the finding? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Uninterested. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了研究人员在泰国发现的一种新恐龙物种，包括其体型、命名、发掘过程及专家评价。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‌“One of the many features that we’re kind of excited about is the size of this dinosaur,” says Thitiwoot Sethapanichsakul, a Ph.D. student at University College London who is the lead author on the research paper.(“让我们感到兴奋的众多特征之一是这只恐龙的体型，”该研究论文的第一作者、伦敦大学学院博士生Thitiwoot Sethapanichsakul说。)”以及As big as this dinosaur was, sauropods were about to get a lot bigger. “It gives us an understanding of the potential kind of evolutionary trends that are beginning to occur around this time,” he says.(尽管这只恐龙已经很大了，但蜥脚类恐龙还将变得大得多。“它让我们了解到这一时期前后开始出现的各类潜在进化趋势，”他说。)”可知，研究人员感到兴奋是因为它展示了恐龙体型变大的进化趋势。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Sethapanichsakul and his colleagues named it Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis. ‌“Naga comes from the mythological Naga (serpent creature) that is worshipped in Southeast Asia. Titan just refers to size,” he says. Chaiyaphumensis comes from Chaiyaphum — the province where the dinosaur was found.(Sethapanichsakul和他的同事将其命名为Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis。“Naga来自东南亚崇拜的神话中的娜迦(蛇形生物)。Titan只是指体型，”他说。Chaiyaphumensis来自Chaiyaphum——发现这只恐龙的省份。)”可知，第三段主要讲述这只恐龙的名字及其含义。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The fossils were first discovered by a local resident in 2016 and initial excavation (挖掘) happened between then and 2019, but then funding dried up.(这些化石最初由一位当地居民于2016年发现，最初的挖掘工作在2016年至2019年间进行，但随后资金枯竭。)”可知，2019年挖掘工作停止是因为缺乏资金。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He considers the quantity and quality of bones discovered to be ‌“not bad”, as far as big dinosaurs go. ‌“We’ve got several regions of skeleton represented. We’ve got several complete bones that aren’t distorted (变形) very much — enough to give us a lot of information.”(他认为，就大型恐龙而言，所发现骨骼的数量和质量“还不错”。“我们发现的骨骼材料涵盖了骨架的多个部位。我们有好几块完整的骨头，变形不太大——足以给我们提供大量信息。”)”可知，Wedel对这一发现持积极态度。 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 Future of Food: What Will Be on Our Plates in 2050? As the global population races towards 10 billion by mid-century, and climate change threatens agricultural stability, one question becomes urgent and universal: ____16____? From lab-grown meat and insect protein to AI-designed meals and vertical farming (垂直农业), food innovation is speeding up rapidly. This article explores the key elements shaping tomorrow’s nutrition — grounded in sustainability, health, and technology. Alternative Proteins: Feeding the World Without the Cow Traditional meat production is responsible for nearly 15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions (排放). ____17____. In an effort to feed a growing global population without endangering the planet’s health, scientists and food innovators are turning to groundbreaking solutions. • Eatable insects — such as crickets and mealworms — are rich in protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, while requiring very few resources to raise. • Lab-grown meat — produced by multiplying animal cells in bioreactors — removes the need for slaughter (屠宰) and can significantly reduce environmental impact. ____18____ Vertical farms use layers of crops grown in environments where temperature, humidity, and light are precisely controlled, often integrated into urban architecture — ranging from warehouses and office buildings to skyscrapers devoted entirely to farming. Hydroponic systems (growing plants in nutrient-rich water) and aeroponic systems (growing plants in air and misted with nutrient solutions) allow crops to grow well without soil. These methods can significantly increase yield per unit area, cut water consumption by up to 95%, and remove the need for pesticides (杀虫剂) thanks to their controlled conditions. ____19____, reducing transportation costs and emissions. In an increasingly urbanized world, this form of agriculture could become a key foundation of global food security. Personalized Nutrition: Food Tailored to Your DNA Modern nutrition is moving towards an extraordinary level of personalization, where food science integrates with genetics, biotechnology, and data analysis. ____20____ . • DNA-based diets—genetic tests that identify how your body metabolizes (使新陈代谢) carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, helping determine the optimal balance for health and performance. A. What will we eat in the future B. How will food safety be ensured in our future C. Smart & Eco-Friendly Foods: Eating with the Planet in Mind D. It’s a major contributor to pollution and too much water consumption E. Vertical Farming & Hydroponics: Revolutionizing Urban Agriculture F. Beyond environmental benefits, vertical farms can be located close to consumption centres G. New technologies create nutrition plans matching one’s unique biological makeup 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种面向2050年的创新食物方案，用以应对人口增长和气候变化问题。 【16题详解】 上文“As the global population races towards 10 billion by mid-century, and climate change threatens agricultural stability(本世纪中叶全球人口即将逼近100亿，气候变化又威胁着农业稳定)”提出人口增长、气候变化威胁农业稳定，后文“From lab-grown meat and insect protein to AI-designed meals and vertical farming (垂直农业), food innovation is speeding up rapidly.(从细胞培养肉、昆虫蛋白，到人工智能配餐、垂直农业，食物创新正飞速发展。)”列举细胞培养肉、昆虫蛋白、垂直农业等未来食物，空格处需要一个总领全文的问句，A项“What will we eat in the future(我们未来会吃什么)”贴合文章标题与下文内容，符合语境。 【17题详解】 上文“Traditional meat production is responsible for nearly 15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions (排放).(传统肉类生产的温室气体排放量约占全球总排放量的15%。)”介绍传统肉类生产排放大量温室气体，空格处应该继续讲传统肉食的弊端，D项“It’s a major contributor to pollution and too much water consumption(它是造成污染、大量耗水的主要原因)”承接上文，说明它还会造成污染、消耗大量水资源，引出后文新型替代蛋白方案，符合语境。 【18题详解】 下文“Vertical farms use layers of crops grown in environments where temperature, humidity, and light are precisely controlled, often integrated into urban architecture—ranging from warehouses and office buildings to skyscrapers devoted entirely to farming.(垂直农场分层种植作物，农场内的温度、湿度、光照都可以精准调控，还常常融入城市建筑中 —— 仓库、办公楼，甚至专门用来种植的摩天大楼里都能搭建。)”和“Hydroponic systems (growing plants in nutrient-rich water) and aeroponic systems (growing plants in air and misted with nutrient solutions) allow crops to grow well without soil.(水培系统（作物在富含营养的水中生长）和气培系统（作物悬于空气中，喷洒营养液）可以实现无土栽培。)”介绍垂直农场、水培和气培种植技术，空格处是该部分小标题，E项“Vertical Farming & Hydroponics: Revolutionizing Urban Agriculture(垂直农业与水培技术：变革都市农业)”概括本段核心话题，可作为小标题。 【19题详解】 下文“reducing transportation costs and emissions(降低运输成本、减少排放)”是结果，F项 “Beyond environmental benefits, vertical farms can be located close to consumption centres(除环保优势之外，垂直农场可以建在消费地附近)”说明垂直农场可以建在消费地附近，正好对应后文减少运输带来的影响，符合语境。 【20题详解】 上文“Modern nutrition is moving towards an extraordinary level of personalization, where food science integrates with genetics, biotechnology, and data analysis.(现代营养正向高度个性化方向发展，食品科学融合了遗传学、生物技术与数据分析。)”说明现代营养走向个性化，融合基因、生物技术与数据分析，G项“New technologies create nutrition plans matching one’s unique biological makeup(新技术可以定制营养方案，匹配每个人独特的生理特征)”承接上文，解释新技术可以定制适配个人生理特征的营养方案，引出下文DNA饮食的例子，符合语境。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Back in 2009, a house fire in Wenatchee, Washington turned into a life or death moment when firefighter Mike Hughes ____21____ a smoke-filled home and found a 9 month old baby alone in her crib (婴儿床).

When he first started his treatment, he had no idea how painful the journey would be. The chemotherapy (化疗) sessions were so painful that he often couldn’t sleep at night, and even simple tasks like eating or sitting up became a struggle. “It wasn’t even knowing I could die,” Jude later told local news outlet 11 Alive. “The chemo... it hurt.” Despite the unbearable physical and mental suffering, the young boy refused to give up. He held on bravely, enduring every tough medical procedure, every needle prick, and every moment of despair to beat the deadly disease. After months of hard fighting, 14-year-old Jude finally defeated cancer and became a survivor. Soon after, he qualified for a special wish from Make-A-Wish Georgia, a well known charity that grants wishes for children with serious illnesses. Usually, the charity tells kids they can wish to go somewhere amazing, be someone they admire, or meet a celebrity. But Jude had a unique idea that no other kid had ever proposed before, and he didn’t even have a backup wish. During his frequent trips to the hospital for treatment, Jude often saw many homeless people wandering the streets near the hospital. Some crowded in corners, shaking with the cold, while others begged for food to ease their hunger. Having experienced the despair of being trapped in hardship himself, Jude deeply sympathized with those living in poverty and helplessness. He knew he wanted to use his wish to give back to the community and help those in need. Emily Campbell, a coordinator (协调人) at Make-A-Wish Georgia, was greatly touched by his selfless wish, saying it was the most special request she had ever received. “His only wish was to give back to his community,” she told 11 Alive. “That’s not a wish we even tell kids is an option.” 注意： 1). 续写词数应为150个左右； 2). 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Following his wish, Jude worked closely with the charity team to carry out warm charity activities. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The kind-hearted teen shared his simple but powerful belief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Following his wish, Jude worked closely with the charity team to carry out warm charity activities. Together, they gathered warm blankets, hot meals, bottled water and daily necessities for homeless people near the hospital. Jude spent hours packing supplies on his own and handed them out in person. He talked softly with the homeless, listening to their troubles and offering sincere comfort. His gentle attitude warmed everyone he met. As local media reported his story, citizens were moved and stepped forward and generous donations kept coming in, making their activity larger than expected. The kind-hearted teen shared his simple but powerful belief. He explained that he had tasted despair during cancer treatment, so he knew how much a little kindness mattered to people stuck in hardship. He did not ask for anything fancy for himself, because he hoped to bring hope to those forgotten by society. He called on everyone to notice people around them in need and give a hand. His selfless choice lit a spark in the whole community and encouraged countless people to spread kindness. 【解析】 【导语】14岁的Jude战胜癌症后，获得许愿机会。他没有索要个人惊喜，而是许下特别心愿，想要帮助医院附近无家可归的人。他亲身体会过苦难，十分同情他们，这份无私的心愿深深打动了慈善机构的工作人员。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写Jude和慈善团队为流浪汉分发物资，他亲切陪伴他们，故事传开后更多人前来相助。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写Jude分享了他的信念，呼吁大家伸出援手，他的善举激励众人传递善意。 2.续写线索：Jude为流浪汉分发物资——故事传开——更多人前来相助——Jude分享了他的信念——激励众人传递善意 3.词类激活： 行为类： ①收集：collect/gather ②重要：matter/count 情绪类： ①温柔地：softly/gently/tenderly ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】 He talked softly with the homeless, listening to their troubles and offering sincere comfort.(运用了现在分词listening和offering作状语) 【高分句型2】 His gentle attitude warmed everyone he met.(运用了省略关系代词that的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
