2024-2025学年安徽省部分学校高二下学期3月调研考试英语试题一、阅读理解() Nature’s classroom: Educational forests in the Bolivian Amazon Through this project, students are encouraged to explore academic subjects in the heart of the forest, bringing together formal education and traditional folk knowledge.What the project offers Hands-on activities such as identifying forest species, taking nature walks, and participating in mushroom photography contests. Academic subjects taught through these outdoor experiences, with students creating descriptions to explain the relationships among living creatures. Chances for educators to promote the use of natural resources—branches, leaves, soil, and streams—alongside modern technology such as binoculars (双筒望远镜) and species identification software.Teaching activities Primary school students begin by identifying trees, exploring the practical uses of wood and plants, and practicing math by counting trees along trails. They express their newfound knowledge through drawing and painting. Secondary school students research deeper, examining biodiversity and the environment through subjects such as accounting, chemistry, poetry and music. They engage in cultural exchanges with students from other regions, discussing environmental issues and cultural heritage. Additionally, parents are required to help to set up community forests, designated areas either owned by the community or given by a family. Maintenance, such as repairing paths, is carried out regularly by parents and secondary school students.Time & Schedule Activities in the forest are carried out between May and October, according to local weather conditions and the schools’ calendars. Each class participates in forest activities at least five times during this period, with an additional three chances dedicated to exchanges with other students.1. What can participants do in the project? A． Conduct field research.B． Listen to lectures on forest protection.C． Understand the relationship between humans and nature better.D． Get more skillful in applying technology to their academic study.2. How do the activities for primary school students differ from those for secondary ones? A． Primary school students have more chances for exchanges.B． Secondary school students don’t do hands-on activities.C． Secondary school students focus on counting trees and drawing.D． Primary school students’ activities are more about basic exploration.3. What can be known about the activities? A． Standard tests are held to check the effect.B． Cultural exchanges are the feature of them.C． They are carried out for a certain period of time.D． Family involvement is not always necessary. () Victory in sports doesn’t depend entirely on the playing field. Quite often, the key battlefield lies within an athlete’s mind. While psychologists are increasingly sought by sporting institutions eager to develop a winning mindset (心态), they are not always the answer when it comes to dealing with off-field issues. To ensure athletes’ well-being, Sports Chaplaincy UK steps in, offering the support of over 600 consultants throughout British sports. Their services, described as “pastorally proactive, spiritually reactive”, are available to individuals of all faiths or none, providing a unique form of guidance and care. Simon Bailey, the national chaplain for horse racing, is one such figure. Based in Newmarket, he helps jockeys (赛马骑师) deal with the pressures of a challenging sport where even its best competitors will lose many more races than they win. “Despite being a top-tier sport, there’s still an unfavorable perception associated with showing weakness, ” Simon explains. “If you voice something personal, it’s often seen as a sign of weakness. Jockeys don’t want to tell their bosses, and sometimes not even their closest friends. That’s where I come in — as a private first point of contact, someone they can confide in (吐露心声) and unburden themselves.” The need for such support is evident. A 2019 Racing Welfare survey found that 87% of jockeys had experienced stress, anxiety or depression in the previous 12 months. In an increasingly competitive society, Simon’s approach proves to be a rare moment of nonjudgmental shelter. “A couple of years ago we sat in a room with a jockey who, to all intents and purposes, had blown it. It was all over. And I didn’t really do anything but sit in that room when nobody else would. He understood what he’d done wrong and what to do to put it right. He went above that, and he’s back doing what he loves. It’s amazing when, against all odds, somebody pulls through.4. What is the main purpose of Sports Chaplaincy UK? A． To develop effective teamwork.B． To boost athletic performance.C． To improve coaching techniques.D． To support athletes’ mental well-being.5. Why are jockeys unwilling to share their personal struggles? A． They don’t trust anyone around them.B． They are afraid of being judged as weak.C． They prefer to handle personal issues privately.D． They fear it might affect their professional career.6. What is the author’s attitude towards Simon Bailey’s approach? A． Appreciative.B． Doubtful.C． Uncaring.D． Critical.7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A． The Role of Psychologists in SportsB． Overcoming Challenges in Horse RacingC． Simon Bailey: A Lifeline for Struggling JockeysD． Sports Chaplaincy UK: Offering More than Just Spiritual Aid () Farm robots guided by GPS can plant and harvest different types of crops in close nearness, enabling beneficial interactions between species and potentially boosting biodiversity. Strip cropping — dividing fields into narrow rows containing different crops — is a common practice. Now, robotic technology is making it possible to space crops closer together than ever before. Kit Franklin from Harper Adams University in the UK explains that it’s like taking the diverse planting approach used in a small allotment (小菜地) and expanding it to a much larger scale (规模) with the help of machinery. Franklin presented the results of experiments cried out on the Hands-Free Farm at the Harper Adams University campus in Shropshire, UK. On the farm, self-driving robots are equipped with a seed drill that puts crops in 2-metre-wide rows and a combine harvester that collects the mature plants once they are ready to harvest. This year, the university ran an experiment on half a hectare of land, with repeating rows of wheat, barley and beans. “We’ve been able to plant those crops as separate strips and then lend them as separate crops, ” says Franklin. “That is hard to do with conventional farm machinery. The crops have a beneficial impact on each other, with beans drawing nitrogen (氮) — which wheat and barley require to grow — down into the soil and storing it. The one is potentially feeding the other.” Feeding plants like this reduces the need for fertilizers (肥料), and planting crops of varying heights, which are harvested at different times, can increase the sunlight each row gets, boosting growth. Moreover, the arrangement of crops with different harvest times allows farmers to plan their farming activities more reasonably throughout the year, preventing the over-concentration of farming operations during a specific period. Felicity Crotty at the Royal Agricultural University in the UK says the approach could be beneficial. “You’re actually increasing your biodiversity on the farm, and also that potentially reduces pest pressure, ” she says. “But relatively small-scale experiments like this may not translate into industrial farming.”8. What can be inferred about robotic farming? A． It helps achieve high-precision crop planting.B． It influences biodiversity in an undesired way.C． It struggles to closely space different crops.D． It places heavy demands on the operators.9. Which is a potential outcome of planting beans with wheat and barley? A． Higher need for fertilizers.B． Enhanced nitrogen availability.C． Stronger competition among species.D． Decreased element concentration in the soil.10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5? A． The advantages of strip farming.B． The harmful effects of using fertilizers.C． The importance of sunlight on plant growth.D． The success of diverse cropping methods.11. What does Crotty imply about the robotic-technology-based strip cropping? A． It will be widely applied soon.B． It may only be suitable for certain kinds of crops.C． It faces challenges in scaling up to industrial levels.D． It brings more environmental benefits than expected. () We know this generation of children is experiencing shockingly high rates of mental health crises. I am as concerned as anyone else, but I’ve been surprised that one key word is missing from the discussion: boundaries (边界). The cost of failing to set boundaries has never been higher. Decades ago, if parents didn’t manage to maintain boundaries, a child might have eaten an extra cupcake or stayed out too late. Today the results are more severe, including children freely scrolling through TikTok at age 8 or spending endless hours playing video games, while ignoring real-world interactions. I agree that we are faced with a crisis related to phones and social media, but I also see a crisis of strong leadership - Sturdy Leadership, exactly at a time when our kids need it more than ever. Sturdy Leadership is a model of parental authority where parents both hold boundaries and stay connected to a child or, actually, improve connection through those moments. They do this by validating their child’s feelings while holding firm on what is best for everyone. Imagine your 5-year-old wants you to buy a toy at a toy store, although you said you were only going in to buy a birthday present for a cousin. Your 5-year-old starts begging for a toy. Sturdy Leadership, in response, would look like: “I get it. It’s hard to see so many fun toys and not get something. Today I’m only buying a toy for your cousin. I can take a picture of what you want so we can remember it later. I love you. We’ll get through this together.” When the day comes that our kids ask for a phone or an Instagram account, our approach will not be limited to some universally recognized “media policy” we have as parents; our approach will simply be an extension of the way we’ve always interacted with our kids regarding their desires and requests. Phones and social media are preventing our kids’ ability to flourish, but at the same time, parents also need more support. We need to expand the conversation so that rather than feeling locked in fear, we are aware of the practical skills we can develop to bring about change and support our children.12. What was a result of parents not setting boundaries in the past? A． Children would suffer mental problems.B． Children might have minor misbehavior.C． Children might be addicted to social media.D． Children would lack social skills.13. Which of the following best describes the Sturdy Leadership model? A． It means parents always say “no” to their children.B． It encourages children to make decisions on their own.C． It combines boundary-setting with emotional connection.D． It involves sitting boundaries without considering children’s feelings.14. What does the underlined word “validating” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A． Transforming.B． Ignoring.C． Acknowledging.D． Recording.15. What does the author suggest parents do about children’s phone and social media use? A． Use strict time limits to control access.B． Allow more frequent use to adapt to the digital age.C． Avoid discussing the issue until their children are old enough.D． Apply practical parenting methods to support their children. () Every year, somewhere in the world, a huge crowd gets out of control, resulting in hundreds of helpless victims suffocating (窒息). 16 Here’s what science offers as advice that could help get you out safely. When it comes to the contact with a crowd, the best course of action is to just move away. Experts suggest a rule-of-thumb, average of 2.5 people per square meter at concerts and events. 17 If you are not actually touching people around you, crowd density (密度) is likely below 3 people per square meter. But if you cannot move your hands freely, you are in danger. Keep your balance. 18 At this point, physical contact is so intense that even the smallest movements spread like ripples (涟漪) through the crowd. Individuals can lose control of their own bodies. If you are trapped in a dense crowd, you must focus 100% on keeping your balance. Go with the flow and help others. 19 But when you are trapped in a crowd, it is a waste of valuable energy to fight it. Instead, you should go with the flow, while trying not to fall. Always remember that you are not alone, so help people around you and work together if you can. Be wise with the use of oxygen. The vast majority of deaths in connection with crowd accidents are due to breath failure. Oxygen is your most valuable resource; you should economize on it when you are in a densely packed crowd. 20 A． Rather, you have to move away immediately.B． It accounts for most deaths and risks in a crowd.C． This helps people to avoid most dangerous situations.D． Try to control your breathing and avoid screaming or shouting.E． But there are opportunities to avoid potentially deadly situations.F． Crowd density becomes dangerous at 6 to 7 people per square meter.G． When we are pushed, it is natural to fight against the pressure and push back. 二、完形填空() Six-year-old Henley Castilon is living with autism (自闭症).

Aisha’s heart raced as she unwillingly stood up. Her hands shook as she held the book. “One... su... summer, alo... along 1909, the... fa....father...” she stammered (结巴). The words seemed to jump all over the page, making it impossible to read. The class broke into laughter. “Enough!” Miss Eman called out, throwing the duster (黑板擦) onto the whiteboard. The noise silenced everyone in no time. “Aisha, I’d like to speak with you after class, ” she said gently. Aisha’s face turned red with embarrassment. “Yes…ma’am, ” she whispered as she sank into her seat. After the bell rang, Aisha slowly made her way to the teacher’s office, fearing the conversation. She knocked on the door softly. Miss Eman answered the door with a warm smile. “Please, sit down.” Miss Eman looked at Aisha. “You’re a bright student, Aisha. You do so well in everything except reading. What’s going on? The words in the book are simple, but I see you struggling.” Aisha looked down at her hands and explained that she suffered from dyslexia (读写困难症). That meant the words just jumped around when she tried to read and it was really hard to focus. Miss Eman’s face softened with understanding. “Aisha, why didn’t you tell me earlier? You don’t have to hide this. Being different just means you learn in a special way. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’ll bring some special reading materials to help you. We’ll work on this together, okay?” Aisha smiled, feeling hopeful for the first time. The next day, during the break, Miss Eman handed Aisha a bag filled with special books. “These are from a reading center. They’re made for students with dyslexia. Let’s see how they work for you, ” Miss Eman said. Aisha accepted the bag gratefully. “Thank you, ma’am.”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。 In the following months, Aisha practiced hard with the materials. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the results of the reading test were posted, Aisha was excited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
