But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away. While I happily accepted the red envelopes during Lunar New Year and consumed mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born, I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话). I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their heritage. Parenting books advised describing your actions while playing with your children, so I started digging out the long-buried words during every activity: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. Luckily, the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — made things much easier. As they grew older, I took them to the local library where the tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught their imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. Last fall, my youngest son recited Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool. His voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson. Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history, and connects future generations to past ones. 4. What do we know about the author as a child? A. She once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture. B. She was brought up in an all-English environment. C. She travelled between two countries when young. D. She was attracted to Chinese traditional festivals the most. 5. How did the author teach her children Mandarin? A. Talking about her daily routine. B. Sending them to a Chinese teacher. C. Taking advantage of Chinese language media. D. Buying them ancient Chinese storybooks. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Ambitious. B. Diligent. C. Passive. D. Devoted. 7. What lesson can be learnt from this article? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Language bridges generations. C. Great minds think alike. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述华裔母亲重拾中文，教孩子学习普通话，借语言传承中华文化、联结家人的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away. While I happily accepted the red envelopes during Lunar New Year and consumed mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture.(但随着年龄增长，中国元素逐渐淡出了我的生活。虽然我每逢春节都开心地收下红包，在中秋节时享用月饼，却不再感受到与这种文化的联系。)”可知，作者曾经失去了对中国文化的归属感。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Parenting books advised describing your actions while playing with your children, so I started digging out the long-buried words during every activity: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. Luckily, the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — made things much easier. As they grew older, I took them to the local library where the tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught their imagination. (育儿书籍建议在和孩子玩耍时描述自己的动作，于是我开始在每次活动中重新翻出那些尘封已久的词语：“球”“吃”“睡”“玩”。然而，随着练习的进行，我的普通话差距变得越来越明显。幸运的是，中文媒体易获取、随处可得——从书籍、电视剧到音乐——让学习变得容易多了。当他们渐渐长大后，我带他们去了当地图书馆，那里的美猴王的故事和嫦娥传说立刻激发了他们的想象力。)”可知，作者利用中文媒体教孩子普通话。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Before my children were born, I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话).(在我孩子出生之前，我就已经决定要教他们普通话了。)”及文章第三段描述作者如何利用中文媒体教孩子们普通话的经历可知，作者为了让孩子传承母语，主动重拾自己早已生疏的普通话，借助各类资源坚持教孩子中文，付出了大量时间精力，是非常用心投入的。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history, and connects future generations to past ones.(几十年前，我的中文老师向我解释过，月亮连接着所有追寻其光芒的人，无论他们相隔多远。语言也是如此，它影响着文化与历史，并将后代与过去联系在一起。)”可知，作者教自己的孩子学习普通话，从孩子能用中文交流、背诵古诗中感受到语言跨越时空、联结世代与文化的力量可知，文章主旨是语言与文化能够跨越时空、联结人们。 C When antibiotics (抗生素) first became available, farmers used them freely. Now scientists know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerous to human health. Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense interest. Jo Handelsman is tracing one such pathway that, as she puts it, travels from “farm to table.” Handelsman, a microbiologist who is now associate director for science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, looked into dairy cows, which are often treated with antibiotics and produce manure (排泄物) that farmers use on their crops. In addition to nutrients, that fertilizer (化肥) may harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria — a problem because the bacteria can come into contact with plants that are finally shipped to supermarkets and sometimes eaten raw. To find out how those antibiotic-resistant bacteria come to exist, Handelsman and her colleagues at Yale University added manure from a nearby Connecticut farm to raised beds of soil in 2013. In this case, the manure specifically came from cows that were not treated with antibiotics. The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown with synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer — even though the cows were drug-free. Previous research has found that manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contains resistant bacteria, but the cow results suggest there are more factors promoting resistance besides antibiotic use. Something about manure itself may encourage naturally resistant bacteria to increase. The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University (who was not involved in the study). “We can control this. There’s very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria,” says Lance. Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether carrots grown in soil treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through their vascular system (循环系统). “They have veins (血管) just like us,” she says. “We don’t have any evidence yet that they’re taking up the bacteria, but it’s a really interesting possibility.” 8. What does Jo Handelsman’s research focus on? A. How antibiotics makes its way onto our table. B. What restrictions should be put to antibiotics use. C. How antibiotics-resistant bacteria reach human beings. D. What damage the overuse of antibiotics does to humans. 9. What did Jo’s research find? A. Drug-free cows produced manure with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. B. Synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer did more good to the environment. C. Soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes were increasing with time. D. Manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contained fewer resistant bacteria. 10. Lance Price is quoted in the passage in order to . A. provide more evidence that drug-resistance bacteria are dangerous B. suggest another possible explanation to the antibiotic’s problems C. emphasize the importance of feeding cows with no antibiotics D. show that the research findings may not be that worrisome 11. Which of the following statements is Jo most likely to agree with? A. It is very likely that widespread resistance to antibiotics is possible. B. Plants grown in soil fertilized with cow manure may contain drug-resistant genes. C. There is possibility that carrots take up resistant genes wherever they are planted. D. The vascular system plays a key role in guarding carrots against bacteria. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍科学家研究耐药细菌从农场流向餐桌的途径，以及相关发现与后续探索。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense interest. (在关于应当实施哪些种类限制措施的讨论当中，弄清楚耐抗生素细菌如何进化，以及它们是怎样到达人类身上的，仍然是一个受到高度关注的领域。)”可知，Jo Handelsman 的研究重点是耐抗生素细菌是如何传播到人类的。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown with synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer — even though the cows were drug-free.(研究人员意外发现，即便奶牛没有使用抗生素，施加这类粪便的土壤中携带耐药基因的土壤细菌数量，还是高于施加合成氮肥的土壤。)”可知，未使用抗生素的奶牛产出的粪便含有促使耐药细菌增多的条件，由此可知，研究发现无抗奶牛的粪肥施加后会使土壤中耐药菌数量升高。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University (who was not involved in the study). “We can control this. There’s very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria,” says Lance.(然而，乔治华盛顿大学微生物学家兰斯·普莱斯指出，该研究结果不应让人觉得耐药菌无处不在。“我们能够控制它。有确凿证据表明，如果停止滥用抗生素，耐药菌数量就会下降。”兰斯说道。)”可知，引用他的话是为了说明该发现不必过度担忧。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether carrots grown in soil treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through their vascular system (循环系统). (在这条从农场到餐桌的研究路线上，汉德斯曼下一步将要测试，在施加牛粪的土壤里种植的胡萝卜，能否通过自身的循环系统吸收细菌的耐药基因。)”可知，她很可能认同施用牛粪土壤中生长的植物有可能携带耐药基因。 D Batteries are getting smaller, lighter and more powerful all the time. This is good news for industries and buyers of products ranging from electric cars to mobile phones. But for some applications, the conventional shape and structure of a battery is simply too heavy and awkward to use. For example, skin patches (贴片) that monitor health conditions require more close contact. Since batteries can’t bend like skin and tissue, they become unreliable and uncomfortable to wear. A number of approaches are therefore being taken to produce flexible batteries. Among the most promising, though, are water-based batteries inspired by the way an electric eel (鳗鱼) stores its charge. A group at the University of Cambridge has used the eel’s technique to come up with what it calls “jelly batteries”. These are made from materials consisting of over 60% water. This makes them both soft and flexible. Whereas most batteries lose conductivity if the material is bent or stretched, a jelly battery can be stretched up to one-and-a-half times its length with no voltage (电压) loss. This means it can be worn more comfortably against the skin and is more reliable when transplanted into internal organs, like the lung, heart or brain. The jelly battery works in much the same way that biological processes produce electricity. They rely on the different concentrations of electrically charged particles (粒子). This creates a difference in electrical potential, producing a tiny voltage. Electric eels strengthen it by having thousands of muscle cells acting together to produce a voltage powerful enough to hunt. Besides wearable and implantable devices, another potential market for stretchable batteries is soft robotics. For one thing, stretchy components would be safer to operate among people than traditional robots. They could also help power other devices, such as gloves that allow stroke victims to move their hands. All this should provide plenty of ideas for wearable innovations. 12. What is the challenge faced by conventional batteries? A. Outdated appearance. B. Too weighty for some uses. C. Unsuitable size for electric cars. D. Too pricy for skin patches. 13. What is the key feature of the “jelly batteries”? A. They are more conductive when stretched up. B. They are more comfortable when transplanted into bodies. C. They are soft and flexible when surrounded by water. D. They can be extended or bent easily without voltage loss. 14. How does the jelly battery generate electricity? A. By adding stretchy components. B. By muscle cells producing voltage. C. By using charged particles for potential. D. By decreasing voltage like electric eels. 15. What can be inferred about the battery market? A. Flexible batteries are gradually gaining market attention. B. The demand for wearable devices is declining due to battery limitations. C. The market for wearable devices is shrinking. D. Conventional batteries will be completely replaced in the future. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍受电鳗启发研发的果冻电池，讲述它的特性、发电原理以及广阔的应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But for some applications, the conventional shape and structure of a battery is simply too heavy and awkward to use.(但是在一些应用场景中，电池传统的外形和结构实在太重，使用起来很不方便。)”可知，传统电池面临的难题是在部分用途下过于笨重。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Whereas most batteries lose conductivity if the material is bent or stretched, a jelly battery can be stretched up to one-and-a-half times its length with no voltage (电压) loss. (大多数电池在材料被弯折或者拉伸时会丧失导电性，而果冻电池可以拉伸至自身长度的一点五倍，且不会损失电压。)”可知，果冻电池的核心特点是可拉伸、弯折且不会损失电压。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They rely on the different concentrations of electrically charged particles (粒子). This creates a difference in electrical potential, producing a tiny voltage. (它们依靠带电粒子的不同浓度。这会产生电势差，从而生成微弱电压。)”可知，果冻电池依靠带电粒子形成电势差来发电。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Besides wearable and implantable devices, another potential market for stretchable batteries is soft robotics.(除可穿戴与植入设备之外，可拉伸电池还有另一潜在市场，也就是软体机器人技术领域。)”以及“All this should provide plenty of ideas for wearable innovations.(所有这些都将为可穿戴设备的创新提供大量思路。)”可知，柔性电池逐步受到市场关注。 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。 Deadlines: More Than Just a Countdown People like to make their commitments at the start of a year, month or week, after birthdays, and even after national holidays. Landmarks in the calendar seem to give people a chance to get rid of their old selves and start afresh. However, people don’t have to wait for the new year. ____16____ Deadlines serve as a cure for procrastination (拖延症), a fundamental human tendency to put things off for no good reason. Researchers investigated what happened when dental clinics varied the check-up reminders sent to their patients, promising goodies like a free dental kit for those who arranged appointments within a certain time frame. ____17____ Even without rewards, setting a deadline motivated people to book their next check-ups. ____18____ When former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was asked about his recipe for making good decisions, his response was “disagreement plus deadline” — disagreements ensure that people discuss the issues properly, while deadlines stop them talking at length. Most people prefer tighter deadlines, which produce quicker responses, drawing work to a close when there is nothing more to be gained from extending it. Third, deadlines create shared expectations within organizations. Consider how companies apply for patents for their new inventions. The research team must complete the technical details by a given date, the legal department needs time to prepare the documents, and the finance team must approve the budget. ____19____ Deadlines ensure that each department finishes its part on time, so the application is submitted before the final cutoff. However, deadlines can have side effects. They can weaken people’s sense of autonomy. They can distract from longer-term goals. Most obviously, they may cause work to be rushed. ____20____ After all, any deadline is better than none. A. This is because deadlines truly motivate people to take action. B. A delay in any step can hold up the entire process. C. However, deadlines often lead to poor quality work. D. Despite these risks, deadlines are still essential. E. Deadlines also ensure that work is not put off endlessly. F. It turned out that those with a deadline were more responsive. G. Instead, they can set their own deadlines to get things moving. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍截止日期的多重积极作用，同时客观提及它存在的一些负面影响。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“People like to make their commitments at the start of a year, month or week, after birthdays, and even after national holidays. Landmarks in the calendar seem to give people a chance to get rid of their old selves and start afresh. However, people don’t have to wait for the new year.(人们喜欢在一年、一月或者一周的开端、生日之后甚至法定节假日之后定下计划。日历上具有标志性的时间节点仿佛给人们一个摆脱旧我、重新开始的机会。然而人们不必等到新年。)”可知，前文交代人们总习惯于依靠日历上特殊节点开启新目标，“however”构成语义转折，说明不必被动等待这些时间点，空内需要给出可行的替代做法，顺势引出文章核心话题“deadlines”。G选项“Instead, they can set their own deadlines to get things moving.(相反，他们可以设定自己的截止日期来推进事情)”中的“instead”承接前文的转折逻辑，“they”指代句中的people，给出不需要等待特殊日子的解决方案，自然开启下文对截止日期作用的介绍。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“Researchers investigated what happened when dental clinics varied the check-up reminders sent to their patients, promising goodies like a free dental kit for those who arranged appointments within a certain time frame.(研究人员调查牙科诊所给患者发送不同复查提醒时的情况，承诺在规定时段预约的人可获得免费牙具等礼品。)”以及空后的“Even without rewards, setting a deadline motivated people to book their next check-ups.(即便没有奖励，设定截止日期也会激励人们预约下次检查。)”可知，前一句介绍这项实验的设计与开展方式，后一句进一步补充说明就算没有奖品，截止日期依然有效，因此空格处应当填入该实验最先得出的核心结果。F选项“It turned out that those with a deadline were more responsive.(结果证明，设有截止日期的人群响应更为积极)”里“It turned out that”专门用来引出调研、实验所得出的结论，完美承接上文实验介绍，同时和后文“even without rewards”形成递进，说明截止日期本身就具备激励效果，奖品只是附加条件。 【18题详解】 根据空后的“When former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was asked about his recipe for making good decisions, his response was “disagreement plus deadline” — disagreements ensure that people discuss the issues properly, while deadlines stop them talking at length.(当谷歌前首席执行官埃里克·施密特被问及做出优质决策的诀窍时，他的回答是“分歧加上截止日期”——分歧保证人们充分探讨问题，截止日期则避免无休止的讨论。)”可知，本段使用名人观点作为论据，重点阐释截止日期可以限制无意义的长时间讨论，避免事情无限搁置。E选项“Deadlines also ensure that work is not put off endlessly.(截止日期同样可以保证工作不会被无限搁置)”为本段主题句，“also”和上文截止日期能够对抗拖延的内容呼应，统领整段，后面引用的名言正是用来支撑这一观点。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“The research team must complete the technical details by a given date, the legal department needs time to prepare the documents, and the finance team must approve the budget.(研究团队必须在指定日期前完成技术细节，法务部门需要时间准备文件，财务部门必须审批预算。)”以及空后的“Deadlines ensure that each department finishes its part on time, so the application is submitted before the final cutoff.(截止日期保证每个部门按时完成分内工作，从而让专利申请在最终期限前提交。)”可知，前文列举专利申请流程里多个分工不同、先后配合的部门，后文点明统一截止日期的意义，空缺处需要点明这套流程环环相扣，一处出错就会拖累整体。B选项“A delay in any step can hold up the entire process.(任一环节出现延误，都会拖慢整个流程)”揭示各部门之间的依存关系，解释为什么组织内部需要共同遵守截止日期，符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“However, deadlines can have side effects. They can weaken people’s sense of autonomy. They can distract from longer-term goals. Most obviously, they may cause work to be rushed.(但是截止日期存在副作用。它们会削弱人的自主感，让人忽视长期目标，最明显的是可能造成工作仓促。)”以及空后的“After all, any deadline is better than none.(毕竟，有截止日期总比没有要好。)”可知，前文集中罗列截止日期带来的各类弊端，后文又转而肯定截止日期的价值，空缺处需要一个让步过渡句，完成从“讲缺点”到“肯定价值”的转换。D选项“Despite these risks, deadlines are still essential.(尽管存在这些隐患，截止日期依旧不可或缺)”中“these risks”精准指代前面列举的全部负面作用，“despite”表示让步关系，衔接前后相反的评价，和末尾句子形成呼应。 第三部分语言运用(共四节，满分40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。 I sat in the heavy silence of my office, waiting to disqualify a student.

The sky was overcast, and a light snow had begun to fall, making the sidewalks slippery and the air bite at our cheeks. I was walking to school with my best friend Lily, both of us dressed up in thick coats and scarves, when we noticed a group of people gathered in front of the community center. Curious, we walked closer and saw a young boy sitting on the concrete steps, holding a cardboard sign that read, “My family lost everything in the fire. Please help.” The boy looked about our age, maybe fourteen or fifteen, with tired eyes and a worn-out jacket that was clearly too thin for the weather. His hair was messy, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Beside him stood his mother, a small woman with a kind face, who was trying her best to smile at the passers-by, but we could see the worry and exhaustion written all over her face. A small donation box sat between them on the steps, containing only a few coins and crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills. Most people walked by without stopping, some glancing sympathetically but too busy to pause. Lily stopped in her tracks. She stared at the boy and his mother for a moment, her brow furrowed. “We have to do something,” she whispered. After some talks with the mother, Lily pulled out her phone and began typing. Within minutes, she posted some photos of the boy and his mother on social media, along with a heartfelt message about their situation — how their house had burned down just two nights ago, how they had escaped with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and how they were desperately in need of warm clothes, food, and a place to stay. By lunchtime, something remarkable had happened. The post had been shared over a thousand times. People from all over the town began showing up at the community center with warm clothes, blankets, food, and money. The local newspaper even sent a reporter to cover the story. Volunteers from a nearby church had arrived to help organize the donations. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When we returned to the community center after school, we were shocked by what we saw. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing us, the boy and his mother walked over. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: When we returned to the community center after school, we were shocked by what we saw. Piles of warm coats, blankets and boxes of food lined the steps. Many townspeople were still coming one after another, carrying donations. Volunteers sorted goods in an orderly way. The donation box was full, and more envelopes with cash were placed beside it. The reporter was finishing his interview. Snowflakes kept falling, but the whole place was filled with warmth instead of coldness. Lily and I hurried over and joined the volunteers to arrange the supplies. Paragraph 2: Seeing us, the boy and his mother walked over. The mother’s eyes were wet with tears. She thanked us repeatedly for what we had done. The boy smiled shyly and told us they had received enough clothes and food. What’s more, a family in the town offered them a spare apartment for temporary shelter. We felt so proud. A small post online lit up their dark days. At that moment, I realized even small kindness could make a big difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和好朋友Lily在一个寒冷的十二月早晨上学途中，发现一个因火灾失去一切的男孩和他的母亲在社区中心求助。Lily通过社交媒体发布求助信息后，获得了全镇人们的热烈响应和大量捐赠，展现了小善举汇聚大力量的温暖故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写社区中心收到大量捐赠物资的热闹场景以及作者和Lily加入志愿者行列帮忙整理的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写男孩母子对作者和Lily的感激之情，以及他们获得临时住所后作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：震惊捐赠场面——物资堆积——志愿者忙碌——加入帮忙——母子感谢——感悟小善举大力量 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offer/provide/supply ②整理：arrange/sort out/organize 情绪类 ①善良：kindness/goodness ②自豪：proud/a sense of pride 【点睛】[高分句型1] She thanked us repeatedly for what we had done. （运用了what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]At that moment, I realized even small kindness could make a big difference.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 无为二中2026—2027学年度第一学期高三年级 第二次月考 英语学科 (满分: 150分 测试时间: 120分钟) 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.

But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away. While I happily accepted the red envelopes during Lunar New Year and consumed mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born, I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话). I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their heritage. Parenting books advised describing your actions while playing with your children, so I started digging out the long-buried words during every activity: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. Luckily, the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — made things much easier. As they grew older, I took them to the local library where the tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught their imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. Last fall, my youngest son recited Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool. His voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson. Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history, and connects future generations to past ones. 4. What do we know about the author as a child? A. She once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture. B. She was brought up in an all-English environment. C. She travelled between two countries when young. D. She was attracted to Chinese traditional festivals the most. 5. How did the author teach her children Mandarin? A. Talking about her daily routine. B. Sending them to a Chinese teacher. C. Taking advantage of Chinese language media. D. Buying them ancient Chinese storybooks. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Ambitious. B. Diligent. C. Passive. D. Devoted. 7. What lesson can be learnt from this article? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Language bridges generations. C. Great minds think alike. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. C When antibiotics (抗生素) first became available, farmers used them freely. Now scientists know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerous to human health. Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense interest. Jo Handelsman is tracing one such pathway that, as she puts it, travels from “farm to table.” Handelsman, a microbiologist who is now associate director for science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, looked into dairy cows, which are often treated with antibiotics and produce manure (排泄物) that farmers use on their crops. In addition to nutrients, that fertilizer (化肥) may harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria — a problem because the bacteria can come into contact with plants that are finally shipped to supermarkets and sometimes eaten raw. To find out how those antibiotic-resistant bacteria come to exist, Handelsman and her colleagues at Yale University added manure from a nearby Connecticut farm to raised beds of soil in 2013. In this case, the manure specifically came from cows that were not treated with antibiotics. The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown with synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer — even though the cows were drug-free. Previous research has found that manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contains resistant bacteria, but the cow results suggest there are more factors promoting resistance besides antibiotic use. Something about manure itself may encourage naturally resistant bacteria to increase. The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University (who was not involved in the study). “We can control this. There’s very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria,” says Lance. Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether carrots grown in soil treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through their vascular system (循环系统). “They have veins (血管) just like us,” she says. “We don’t have any evidence yet that they’re taking up the bacteria, but it’s a really interesting possibility.” 8. What does Jo Handelsman’s research focus on? A. How antibiotics makes its way onto our table. B. What restrictions should be put to antibiotics use. C. How antibiotics-resistant bacteria reach human beings. D. What damage the overuse of antibiotics does to humans. 9. What did Jo’s research find? A. Drug-free cows produced manure with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. B. Synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer did more good to the environment. C. Soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes were increasing with time. D. Manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contained fewer resistant bacteria. 10. Lance Price is quoted in the passage in order to . A. provide more evidence that drug-resistance bacteria are dangerous B. suggest another possible explanation to the antibiotic’s problems C. emphasize the importance of feeding cows with no antibiotics D. show that the research findings may not be that worrisome 11. Which of the following statements is Jo most likely to agree with? A. It is very likely that widespread resistance to antibiotics is possible. B. Plants grown in soil fertilized with cow manure may contain drug-resistant genes. C. There is possibility that carrots take up resistant genes wherever they are planted. D. The vascular system plays a key role in guarding carrots against bacteria. D Batteries are getting smaller, lighter and more powerful all the time. This is good news for industries and buyers of products ranging from electric cars to mobile phones. But for some applications, the conventional shape and structure of a battery is simply too heavy and awkward to use. For example, skin patches (贴片) that monitor health conditions require more close contact. Since batteries can’t bend like skin and tissue, they become unreliable and uncomfortable to wear. A number of approaches are therefore being taken to produce flexible batteries. Among the most promising, though, are water-based batteries inspired by the way an electric eel (鳗鱼) stores its charge. A group at the University of Cambridge has used the eel’s technique to come up with what it calls “jelly batteries”. These are made from materials consisting of over 60% water. This makes them both soft and flexible. Whereas most batteries lose conductivity if the material is bent or stretched, a jelly battery can be stretched up to one-and-a-half times its length with no voltage (电压) loss. This means it can be worn more comfortably against the skin and is more reliable when transplanted into internal organs, like the lung, heart or brain. The jelly battery works in much the same way that biological processes produce electricity. They rely on the different concentrations of electrically charged particles (粒子). This creates a difference in electrical potential, producing a tiny voltage. Electric eels strengthen it by having thousands of muscle cells acting together to produce a voltage powerful enough to hunt. Besides wearable and implantable devices, another potential market for stretchable batteries is soft robotics. For one thing, stretchy components would be safer to operate among people than traditional robots. They could also help power other devices, such as gloves that allow stroke victims to move their hands. All this should provide plenty of ideas for wearable innovations. 12. What is the challenge faced by conventional batteries? A. Outdated appearance. B. Too weighty for some uses. C. Unsuitable size for electric cars. D. Too pricy for skin patches. 13. What is the key feature of the “jelly batteries”? A. They are more conductive when stretched up. B. They are more comfortable when transplanted into bodies. C. They are soft and flexible when surrounded by water. D. They can be extended or bent easily without voltage loss. 14. How does the jelly battery generate electricity? A. By adding stretchy components. B. By muscle cells producing voltage. C. By using charged particles for potential. D. By decreasing voltage like electric eels. 15. What can be inferred about the battery market? A. Flexible batteries are gradually gaining market attention. B. The demand for wearable devices is declining due to battery limitations. C. The market for wearable devices is shrinking. D. Conventional batteries will be completely replaced in the future. 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。 Deadlines: More Than Just a Countdown People like to make their commitments at the start of a year, month or week, after birthdays, and even after national holidays. Landmarks in the calendar seem to give people a chance to get rid of their old selves and start afresh. However, people don’t have to wait for the new year. ____16____ Deadlines serve as a cure for procrastination (拖延症), a fundamental human tendency to put things off for no good reason. Researchers investigated what happened when dental clinics varied the check-up reminders sent to their patients, promising goodies like a free dental kit for those who arranged appointments within a certain time frame. ____17____ Even without rewards, setting a deadline motivated people to book their next check-ups. ____18____ When former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was asked about his recipe for making good decisions, his response was “disagreement plus deadline” — disagreements ensure that people discuss the issues properly, while deadlines stop them talking at length. Most people prefer tighter deadlines, which produce quicker responses, drawing work to a close when there is nothing more to be gained from extending it. Third, deadlines create shared expectations within organizations. Consider how companies apply for patents for their new inventions. The research team must complete the technical details by a given date, the legal department needs time to prepare the documents, and the finance team must approve the budget. ____19____ Deadlines ensure that each department finishes its part on time, so the application is submitted before the final cutoff. However, deadlines can have side effects. They can weaken people’s sense of autonomy. They can distract from longer-term goals. Most obviously, they may cause work to be rushed. ____20____ After all, any deadline is better than none. A. This is because deadlines truly motivate people to take action. B. A delay in any step can hold up the entire process. C. However, deadlines often lead to poor quality work. D. Despite these risks, deadlines are still essential. E. Deadlines also ensure that work is not put off endlessly. F. It turned out that those with a deadline were more responsive. G. Instead, they can set their own deadlines to get things moving. 第三部分语言运用(共四节，满分40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。 I sat in the heavy silence of my office, waiting to disqualify a student.

The sky was overcast, and a light snow had begun to fall, making the sidewalks slippery and the air bite at our cheeks. I was walking to school with my best friend Lily, both of us dressed up in thick coats and scarves, when we noticed a group of people gathered in front of the community center. Curious, we walked closer and saw a young boy sitting on the concrete steps, holding a cardboard sign that read, “My family lost everything in the fire. Please help.” The boy looked about our age, maybe fourteen or fifteen, with tired eyes and a worn-out jacket that was clearly too thin for the weather. His hair was messy, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Beside him stood his mother, a small woman with a kind face, who was trying her best to smile at the passers-by, but we could see the worry and exhaustion written all over her face. A small donation box sat between them on the steps, containing only a few coins and crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills. Most people walked by without stopping, some glancing sympathetically but too busy to pause. Lily stopped in her tracks. She stared at the boy and his mother for a moment, her brow furrowed. “We have to do something,” she whispered. After some talks with the mother, Lily pulled out her phone and began typing. Within minutes, she posted some photos of the boy and his mother on social media, along with a heartfelt message about their situation — how their house had burned down just two nights ago, how they had escaped with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and how they were desperately in need of warm clothes, food, and a place to stay. By lunchtime, something remarkable had happened. The post had been shared over a thousand times. People from all over the town began showing up at the community center with warm clothes, blankets, food, and money. The local newspaper even sent a reporter to cover the story. Volunteers from a nearby church had arrived to help organize the donations. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When we returned to the community center after school, we were shocked by what we saw. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing us, the boy and his mother walked over. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
