第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Horses have always held a special place in the hearts of many famous artists. Let’s explore some of the most well-known paintings of horses by famous artists.
Chinese Horse at Lascaux Cave
This Chinese Horse painting was first discovered in 1940 at the prehistoric cave art sites, Lascaux, in France. The painting earned its name for looking like the style of a Sung Chinese painting of a horse. Early artists created their own paintbrushes from animal skin and hair and also employed a spray (喷洒) painting technique using a hollow (空心的) reed to blow pigment through.
Whistlejacket
Whistlejacket depicts a life-sized racehorse against a plain background. One of the most unique features of this painting is that it does not situate the horse in any particular location. Rather, it focuses only on the details and character of the horse in question. In a way, Stubbs captures the spirit of the horse that suggests freedom of spirit, not tied to any background or environment, which makes this horse painting quite special for its time.
Horse Frightened by Lightning
In Horse Frightened by Lightning, a white horse is frightened by the lightning, standing on its hind legs in a storm. The daring color choices and detailed brushwork captures the reaction of the animal with care, showing panic and terror. The unpleasant weather is highlighted by the strong contrast created between the horse and the dark black and gray clouds that cover the entire sky. The symbolism found in most Romantic horse paintings includes themes of passion, power, nobility, and intense emotion.
What do we know about Chinese Horse
A. It employed colors daringly.
B. It was painted on animal skins.
C. It was a Sung Chinese painting.
D. It used a spray painting approach.
22. What theme is commonly found in Romantic horse paintings
A. Freedom of spirit. B. Strong emotion.
C. Connection with animals. D. Power of nature.
23. Where might the text be taken from
A. An art magazine article. B. An art festival guide.
C. An art exhibition poster. D. An art history lecture.
B
While West Africa’s Benin approaches its rainy season, occasional showers and sticky hot weather have done little to lessen the enthusiasm of local villagers who gathered to watch the first Benin Village Super League. Soccer teams from two villages in Parakou, a central city in Benin, competed on a soccer field near the base of the Chinese support mission for cotton production in Benin, in Belle Cite Village.
For the past decade, the China-assisted cotton technology project has been active in Parakou, a major cotton-producing region in Benin. The long-term technical assistance has built strong relationships with villagers. When the project team learned that the former soccer field had been expropriated (征用), they decided to build a new one using agricultural machinery and recycled materials.
Last summer, videos of some soccer matches in Rongjiang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, went popular and attracted worldwide tourists. Inspired by this, the Village Super League in Parakou includes cultural performances during halftime, featuring Chinese martial arts and Beninese dance. “Locals love soccer and I wanted to bring this model here and set up a similar league,” said Shou Xiaoyong, head of the Chinese technical team.
Named the Friendship Football Field, the new facility was opened in March last year. It quickly became the preferred place for soccer among villagers in Belle Cite and nearby areas, hosting regular matches, especially during agricultural downtimes.
As the tournament progressed, its popularity rose. Villagers from surrounding areas traveled on motorcycles with their children to watch the matches. Yves Koba, the head of Belle Cite Village, praised the Village Super League for promoting (促进) communication and friendship among villages. “The league has made us more united. I hope it continues and that our villagers achieve even better results next year.”
24. What has caused excitement among the villagers in Parakou
A. The first village league. B. The China-assisted project.
C. The newly-built football field. D. The start of the harvest season.
25. For what reason was the Friendship Football Field built
A. To attract worldwide tourists. B. To provide a place for soccer lovers.
C. To inspire locals’ love for soccer. D. To bring Chinese culture into focus.
26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How popular football is in Benin.
B. How the new football field was built.
C. What Benin Village Super League is like.
D. Why Chinese village league model was introduced.
27. What does Yves Koba think of the Village Super League in Benin
A. It brings in huge money. B. It promotes cross-cultural exchanges.
C. It forms a new tradition. D. It strengthens friendship among villages.

Every year, travelers head to South America to be amazed at the vast glaciers, huge open skies and high mountains. But at Omora Ethnobotanical Park on Tierra del Fuego, visitors are encouraged to think small.
Tierra del Fuego, a remote island at the tip of South America, might offer little in terms of animals and trees, but when it comes to bryophytes (苔藓植物) , it is among the richest corners of the planet. In the area that covers less than 0.01% of the Earth’s land surface, more than 5% of the world’s bryophyte species is found.
On entering the park, you’re given a magnifying lens (放大镜). Guided by plant experts, you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierra del Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees. Focus is key: as you tiptoe through the park, it is easy to miss or even step on them.
I wondered how interesting mosses could be. But when I got up close, they started to come to life. Shapes and colours appeared that were not visible to the naked eye. One plant was bright yellow, while another was green with a bright red tip like a little hat.
One of the strangest plants is Old Man’s Beard, which looks like thin noodles and hangs off the trees in webs. According to my guide Lily Lewis, it plays an important role in the growth of the forest, capturing nutrients (营养) and salts blown in on the ocean wind.
Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution, and has all but disappeared across much of the planet. But in Tierra del Fuego, where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet, it grows wildly.
“The hand lens is your entry point into the world of the miniature forests,” Lewis said. “Looking through a lens reminds you that there are other viewpoints from which we can see the world.”
28. Which title best describes Tierra del Fuego
A. A wonderland for tiny plants.
B. A unique place for rare species.
C. A top destination for hiking lovers.
D. A remote land with different landscapes.
29. What quality is highly valued while exploring Omora Ethnobotanical Park
A. Curiosity and creativity. B. Quickness and confidence.
C. Calmness and attentiveness. D. Determination and courage.
30. Which can best replace the underlined word “vulnerable”
A. Sensitive. B. Adaptable. C. Beneficial. D. Resistant.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Eco-tourism in Tierra del Fuego
B. An Encounter with Old Man’s Beard
C. A Tiny Forest on the Tip of the World
D. Start Your Journey of Discovery, Now!
D
The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don’t take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in 2018.
The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters.
The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels(矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.”
32. What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃
A. The climate system will be rebuilt.
B. Global warming is uncontrollable.
C. Natural disasters become unavoidable.
D. Timely action will no longer be necessary.
33. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The advances of scientific research.
B. The shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
C. The process of slowing down climate change.
D. The increase of public environmental awareness.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The limitation of scientists’ model.
B. Possible solutions to slowing climate change.
C. The value of the ‘point of no return’ concept.
D. Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth.
35. Why do the researchers set a deadline
A. To stress the need of global cooperation.
B. To call on people to use renewable energy.
C. To urge policy makers to take immediate action.
D. To show their determination to stop global warming.

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。
I would feel ashamed every time I receive a new package (包裹) on my doorstep. I know that buying new stuff is bad for the planet. But every time I buy something, I get some happiness that’s hard to give up.
Recently a new book has given me new insights: 36 It’s the way our brains have evolved(进化). And there may be a way to break the cycle.
We are evolved from simple organisms that survived because their networks of nerve cells learned to repeat rewarding (有益的) decisions. Today, we have billions of action cells in the brain. They are always forming connections to strengthen rewarding behavior. 37 We seek out those releases in dopamine, and at the same time repeat the actions that lead to them.
38 Maybe you weren’t even thinking about buying watercolor paints. Then something reminded that you like painting, and you searched online and found they were less expensive than you expected. When they arrived on your doorstep, they were better than you thought. Your brain will be drawn to repeat the behavior that got you something unexpected and good.
The best way to break the overbuying habits is not to stop buying things completely.
39 Imagine you’ve formed a habit of eating chocolate before bed for comfort, even though you know you don’t need the calories. You can try having milk with cocoa powder as a healthier replacement, which provides similar comfort. Once you start losing weight, the reward of being able to fit into your old clothes will feel as good as the chocolate once does. 40
Buying used items satisfies our desire to acquire. It gives us the same good feeling of an unexpected reward without consuming more resources.
A. We need that same replacement for shopping.
B. Whether that approach would work is up for debate.
C. Our brains especially like it, and release more dopamine.
D. My desire to keep buying things isn’t necessarily a personal fault.
E. In this process, dopamine is released, helping us learn how to obtain a reward.
F. The good feeling connected to unexpected rewards is partly why we like shopping.
G. A better solution may be to replace the old, long-term harmful rewards with new ones.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. I was born missing my left hand. Indeed, my limb (手臂) difference could have been a disaster if it hadn’t been because of what happened next. A nurse placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed, “You will take her home. You will love her and treat her as normal.”
That is exactly what happened. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for it.
However, that fact that I was different hit me hard on my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids have strong self-respect and the need to fit in is strengthened. I remember one of the other kids on the school bus stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, a month, and years — 25 of them to be exact.
When I was 38 years old, tired of hiding and lonely, I met someone special and invited him in. The combination of me finally feeling ready to unhide and his willingness to know me was exactly what I needed. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold my limb, look at it, touch it, love it — love me. I saw my limb difference as something unique about me, something that should be shown, not hidden.
It was a transformational experience, and I learned to love me too. It changed how I lived my entire life and made me happier. I also discovered and joined the Lucky Fin Project, an organization devoted to people with all types of disabilities.
Hiding things, especially from loved ones, is tiring and lonely, and it prevents us from getting help and support. It’s time to change that.
According to the passage, what was special about the author's birth (no more than 10 words）
Why did the author start hiding her left hand when she was in high school (no more than 15 words)
73.What feelings did the author have during the 25 years of hiding her limb difference, and why did she experience these feelings
74.What does the author wants to show us through her story
75.If you meet a classmate with a disability, how would you treat them Please share your specific approaches and explain the reasons. (about 40 words)高一英语参考答案

Last week, we set up a volunteer group, aimed at helping the elderly in a nursing home. It is not an easy task to understand the true need of the elderly . To gain insight, we asked our grandparents and many seniors for help. Based on their suggestions , we designed a series of activities, including cooking meals together, engaging in conversations, and reading books. It was these activities that made the elderly feel valued .The most important thing was that what we did gave them great happiness and satisfaction.
While providing help is important, getting the elderly actively involved brings them a sense of self-worth . This experience was quite significant for our team,which helps us have a good understanding of the elderly and make a difference to them . In short, it is a rewarding experience filled with challenges and growth.
第二节：阅读表达
71.The author was born missing her left hand.
72.Because at the age of 13 in high school, she had strong self-respect and was eager to fit in. The stare from a classmate on the school bus made her feel ashamed .
73.：She felt lonely and tired.Because the habit of hiding gradually became a long-term burden and prevented her from seeking support.
74.(Hiding one's differences, especially from loved ones, leads to tiredness and loneliness. )People should face their disabilities or shortages(advantages) bravely, seek support, and embrace their true selves.
75.I would treat them with respect and kindness, just like any other classmate. For example, I would invite them to join group activities without making them feel lonely. I believe everyone deserves equal treatment, and their disability doesn't determine who they are. By showing understanding, I can help them build confidence and feel part of the community.

W: Ha-ha…Of course, I’ll remember that.

Okay, class…settle down, please! I know you’re excited to be back at school after your long summer holiday. I hope you all had a nice rest and are now ready to work hard!
