B With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability of zero-carbon electricity. Green hydrogen is created when renewable energy sources power an electrical current that runs through water, separating its hydrogen and oxygen molecules (分子). The process doesn’t produce planet-warming carbon dioxide, but less than 0.1% of global hydrogen production is currently created in this way. The separated hydrogen can be used in the production of steel, ammonia (氨) and chemical products, all of which require industrial processes that are harder to stop fossil fuels. Hydrogen also can be used as a transportation fuel, which could one day transform the highly polluting shipping and aviation sectors. Spain’s large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production. “If you look at where hydrogen is going to be produced in Europe in the next million years, it’s in two countries, Spain and Portugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the founder and president of HyDeal Ambition, an industry platform bringing together 30 companies. “Hydrogen is the new oil.” Lepercq is working with companies like Spanish gas pipeline corporation Enagas and global steel giant ArcelorMittal to design an end-to-end model for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at a competitive price. Criticism has centered on green hydrogen’s higher cost compared with highly-polluting “gray hydrogen” drawn from natural gas. Lepercq argues that solar energy produced in Spain is priced low enough to compete. Globally, Lepercq said, “Electricity is 20% of energy consumption. What about the 80% that is not electrified? ... You need to replace those fossil fuels. Not in 50 years’ time. You need to replace them now.” 24. Why are some experts cautious about green hydrogen production in Spain? A. It needs large amounts of sun and wind. B. It has an effect on heavy industries. C. It causes conflicts among countries. D. It uses lots of zero-carbon electricity. 25. What is the advantage of green hydrogen production in Spain? A. Ideal geographical conditions. B. The support from government. C. Hydrogen production technology. D. Well-developed public transports. 26. What can be inferred about green hydrogen in Spain according to Lepercq? A. It is highly priced. B. It is easy to store. C. It is competitive. D. It is highly-polluting. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. Spain manages to use zero-carbon electricity. B. Spain struggles to lead EU in heavy industry. C. Spain takes the lead in preventing air pollution. D. Spain replaces fossil fuel with green hydrogen. C As artificial-intelligence products steadily improve at pretending to be human — an AI produced voice that books restaurant reservations by phone, for example, or a chat robot that answers consumers’ questions online people will increasingly be put in the worrying situation of not knowing whether they are talking to a machine. But the truth may make such products less effective: recent research finds a trade-off between transparency (透明度) and cooperation in human-computer interactions. The study used a simple game in which paired players make a series of decisions to cooperate with or betray their partner. In the long run, it pays for both to keep cooperating. The researchers used an Al product, when pretending as a person, which was better than people are at getting human partners to cooperate. But previous work suggested people tend to disbelieve machines, so the scientists wondered what would happen if the robot revealed itself as such. The team hoped people playing with a known robot would recognize its ability to cooperate and would eventually overcome their disbelief. “Sadly, we failed at this goal,” says Talal Rahwan, a computer scientist at New York University in Abu Dhabi and a senior author on the paper, published last November in Nature Machine Intelligence. “No matter what the robot did, people just stuck to their prejudice.” A robot playing openly as a robot was less likely to get cooperation than another human, even though its strategy was clearly more beneficial to both players. In an additional experiment, players were told, “data suggest that people are better off if they treat the robot as if it were a human.” It had no effect. Virginia Dignum, who leads the Social and Ethical Artificial Intelligence group at Umea University in Sweden and was not involved in the study, praises the researchers for exploring the transparency effectiveness trade-off, but she would like to see it tested in a different setup. Talal’s team said that in the public field, people should be asked for agreement to be deceived (欺骗) about a robot’s identity. It cannot be on an interaction-by-interaction basis, or else the “deception” obviously will not work. But overall permission for deception still raises ethical quandaries (困境). Dignum says humans should have the option to know after they have interacted with a robot — but if she is calling customer service with a simple question, she adds, “I just want to get my answer.” 28. The underlined word “trade-off” is closest in meaning to . A. distinguishing B. balancing C. switching D. combining 29. According to the passage, what attitude do people generally take towards robots? A. Positive. B. Casual. C. Uncertain. D. Distrustful. 30. What can be inferred about the research findings from the third paragraph? A. They fail to support the team’s assumption. B. They are different from the previous findings. C. They will draw people’s attention to robots’ problems. D. They can explain why people treat a robot like a human. 31. According to the passage, what is Virginia Dignum most likely to agree with? A. Tall Rahwan’s research findings can’t apply to the real-world situations. B. Overall permission for interacting with a robot does more harm than good. C. People needn’t be told that they are interacting with a robot on all occasions. D. The relationship between transparency and effectiveness has been fully explored. D The expression “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (汗水)” is often attributed to Thomas Edison. But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. And as we’re in a service economy now, implementation requires hours and hours not of sweat but of preparation. You must do it all: reading, researching, falling into one rabbit hole after another on the Internet to find the right series of test cases and quotes to make your point, and presenting your idea briefly and clearly. Preparation is everything! Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. The onboard camera shows the terrain (地形). After the landing I’m pretty sure one of the scientists exclaims, “Hey, that’s my rock.” In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). His speeches didn’t sound like they were read from a piece of paper; they felt stream of consciousness. In his finest hours he showed the value of preparation. But, you may ask, why put in any extra effort? ChatGPT can pass Advanced Placement tests, entry exams for law and medical school, and even the bar exam. That probably says more about how poor those tests are than about AI’s ability. But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. Study everything, not only the task you’ve been assigned. Dig deep. Come up with ideas and potential solutions. Work on an elevator speech for what excites you. Don’t wing it. Prepare. And trust me, the feeling you get from preparation-induced success is better than anything you can buy at a drugstore. Preparation will make you super great. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The service economy makes ideas worthless. B. Implementation does not take much time these days. C. Ideas are worthless without preparation and hard work. D. Implementation requires more inspiration than preparation. 33. How does the author try to persuade readers to accept his argument? A. By listing examples. B. By sharing his experience. C. By providing research results. D. By referring to experts’ words. 34. What point is the author trying to make by mentioning ChatGPT? A. ChatGPT is capable of passing various tests. B. Preparation can help you perform better than AI. C. Elevator conversations require high social skills. D. Standard tests do not fully represent one’s abilities. 35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How we can achieve success with little sweat. B. How we should make preparation for our future. C. Why perspiration still maters in the 21st century. D. Why preparation can pave the way to your success. 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It has been a few rough years.

As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vogt asked me, “Do you know about the Make-A-Wish Foundation?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, a 17-year-old girl Amy Graham has been diagnosed as having terminal (晚期的) cancer. Doctors gave her three days. Her dying wish was to attend your lecture.” I was shocked. I felt a combination of awe and doubt. I couldn’t believe it. I thought kids who were dying would want to go see Disneyland, or suchlike. Why would a kid with only a few days to live want to spend their final days listening to a motivational speaker? Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted… “Here’s Amy.” Before me stood a girl wearing a bright red hat to cover her head, which was bald from all of the treatments. Her weak body was a bit bent. She said, “My two goals were to graduate from high school and to attend your lecture. My doctors didn’t believe I could do either and they didn’t think I’d have enough energy. I have to rely on my parents now.” Tears welled in my eyes; I was choked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my throat and smiled, “Thanks for wanting to come.” We hugged, wiped our eyes and separated. That Sunday afternoon I held the workshop that Amy and her parents attended. The audience was packed to overflowing with over a thousand attendees eager to learn, grow and become more fully human. I humbly asked the audience if they wanted to learn a healing process that might serve them for life. From the stage it appeared that everyone’s hand was raised high in the air. I taught the audience how to vigorously (用力地) rub their hands together, separate them by two inches and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them off with a partner to feel the healing energy from themselves to another, explaining that everyone had healing potential to support others. 注意： 1. 续写短文词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 At that point an idea struck me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a round of applause, Amy’s dad led her off the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江苏省前黄中学2025届高三上学期期初检测试卷 英语试卷 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Who is the man probably talking to?

In a publishing company. 【答案】17. B 18. A 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】What do disabled travelers look for when choosing a city to visit? In 2018, the value of the so­called “purple pound” (the spending power of disabled people) to UK tourism was estimated at ￡15.3 billion, while 27 million travelers with disabilities in the US took 81 million trips and spent about $58.7 billion (￡45.8 billion) in that same year. There was a survey about a city's appeal to disabled travelers. Now, let's find out what the respondents think of the top 3 cities—Singapore, Las Vegas and Sydney. According to Nilesh Joshi, who has mobility challenges but doesn't use a wheelchair, “Singapore allows me to independently move around using public transport.” Overwhelmingly, however, the most important factor for survey respondents was not physical accessibility but being treated with understanding and respect. Joshi said, “Always smiling, welcoming and helpful, the people of Singapore make a big difference for the disabled to feel accepted and looked after.” Besides, one of Singapore's major tourist attractions, Gardens by the Bay, is fully wheelchair­accessible. According to prominent wheelchair blogger John Morris, who visits Las Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, “The city has one of the highest concentrations of accessible hotel rooms in the world.” Julie Jones, publisher of Travel Without Limits, the world's only print magazine dedicated to accessible travel, praises Sydney's accessibility. She said, “The majority of the public transport system is accessible to wheelchair users.” 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 Special Food Places to Try In Singapore It’s an unpleasant fact that local food places are usually meant to cater to meat-eaters.

Here are some options to show you don’t need meat for a satisfactory treat.(很难找到一个迎合无肉饮食的美食场所。这里有一些选择，告诉你不需要吃肉就能得到令人满意的款待。)”可推知，这篇文章是写给那些不吃肉或鱼的人的。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Genesis Restaurant部分中的“Genesis Restaurant is especially known for its juicy dumplings, spring rolls, pork-free noodles and tofu cheesecake.(Genesis Restaurant尤其以其多汁的饺子、春卷、无猪肉面和豆腐芝士蛋糕而闻名。)”可知，Genesis Restaurant以中餐闻名。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据WellSmoocht Collective部分中的“WellSmoocht is a cafe and dessert bar which specialises in plant-based ice cream..(WellSmoocht是一家专营植物性冰淇淋的咖啡馆和甜品吧。)”及“Sin Ming Centre, #01-03, Singapore 575628”可知，如果你喜欢吃甜食，你应该去Sin Ming Centre, #01-03。故选C。 B With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability of zero-carbon electricity. Green hydrogen is created when renewable energy sources power an electrical current that runs through water, separating its hydrogen and oxygen molecules (分子). The process doesn’t produce planet-warming carbon dioxide, but less than 0.1% of global hydrogen production is currently created in this way. The separated hydrogen can be used in the production of steel, ammonia (氨) and chemical products, all of which require industrial processes that are harder to stop fossil fuels. Hydrogen also can be used as a transportation fuel, which could one day transform the highly polluting shipping and aviation sectors. Spain’s large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production. “If you look at where hydrogen is going to be produced in Europe in the next million years, it’s in two countries, Spain and Portugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the founder and president of HyDeal Ambition, an industry platform bringing together 30 companies. “Hydrogen is the new oil.” Lepercq is working with companies like Spanish gas pipeline corporation Enagas and global steel giant ArcelorMittal to design an end-to-end model for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at a competitive price. Criticism has centered on green hydrogen’s higher cost compared with highly-polluting “gray hydrogen” drawn from natural gas. Lepercq argues that solar energy produced in Spain is priced low enough to compete. Globally Lepercq said, “Electricity is 20% of energy consumption. What about the 80% that is not electrified? ... You need to replace those fossil fuels. Not in 50 years’ time. You need to replace them now.” 24. Why are some experts cautious about green hydrogen production in Spain? A. It needs large amounts of sun and wind. B. It has an effect on heavy industries. C. It causes conflicts among countries. D. It uses lots of zero-carbon electricity. 25. What is the advantage of green hydrogen production in Spain? A. Ideal geographical conditions. B. The support from government. C. Hydrogen production technology. D. Well-developed public transports. 26. What can be inferred about green hydrogen in Spain according to Lepercq? A. It is highly priced. B. It is easy to store. C. It is competitive. D. It is highly-polluting. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. Spain manages to use zero-carbon electricity. B. Spain struggles to lead EU in heavy industry. C. Spain takes the lead in preventing air pollution. D. Spain replaces fossil fuel with green hydrogen. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了凭借充足的阳光和风，西班牙将成为欧洲绿色氢生产的未来领导者。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability of zero-carbon electricity.(但一些能源专家表示谨慎，因为这一过程依赖于零碳电力的大量可用性)”可知，一些能源专家表示谨慎是因为这一过程依赖于零碳电力的大量可用性。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Spain’s large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production.(西班牙面积大，多风，人口稀少，每年平均日照超过2500小时，为风能和太阳能提供了理想的条件，因此也为绿色氢生产提供了理想的条件)”可知，西班牙绿色氢生产的一大优势就是其优越的地理条件。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Lepercq is working with companies like Spanish gas pipeline corporation Enagas and global steel giant ArcelorMittal to design an end-to-end model for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at a competitive price. Criticism has centered on green hydrogen’s higher cost compared with highly-polluting “gray hydrogen” drawn from natural gas. Lepercq argues that solar energy produced in Spain is priced low enough to compete.(Lepercq正在与西班牙天然气管道公司Enagas和全球钢铁巨头ArcelorMittal公司合作，设计一种端到端的氢气生产、分销和供应模式，价格具有竞争力。批评的焦点是，与从天然气中提取的高污染“灰氢”相比，绿色氢的成本更高。Lepercq认为，西班牙生产的太阳能价格足够低，具有竞争力)”可知，Lepercq认为西班牙的绿氢生产极具竞争性。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen (氢气) production to clean up heavy industries.(凭借充足的阳光和风，西班牙将自己定位为清洁重工业的绿色氢生产的欧洲的未来领导者)”以及第四段“Spain’s large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production.(西班牙面积大，多风，人口稀少，每年平均日照超过2500小时，为风能和太阳能提供了理想的条件，因此也为绿色氢生产提供了理想的条件)”根据最后一段“You need to replace those fossil fuels. Not in 50 years’ time. You need to replace them now.”（你需要替代那些化石燃料）可知，本文主要介绍的是西班牙凭借充足的阳光和风打算用绿色氢来取代化石燃料。由此可知，D选项“西班牙用绿色氢取代化石燃料”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 C As artificial-intelligence products steadily improve at pretending to be human — an AI produced voice that books restaurant reservations by phone, for example, or a chat robot that answers consumers’ questions online people will increasingly be put in the worrying situation of not knowing whether they are talking to a machine. But the truth may make such products less effective: recent research finds a trade-off between transparency (透明度) and cooperation in human-computer interactions. The study used a simple game in which paired players make a series of decisions to cooperate with or betray their partner. In the long run, it pays for both to keep cooperating. The researchers used an Al product, when pretending as a person, which was better than people are at getting human partners to cooperate. But previous work suggested people tend to disbelieve machines, so the scientists wondered what would happen if the robot revealed itself as such. The team hoped people playing with a known robot would recognize its ability to cooperate and would eventually overcome their disbelief. “Sadly, we failed at this goal,” says Talal Rahwan, a computer scientist at New York University in Abu Dhabi and a senior author on the paper, published last November in Nature Machine Intelligence. “No matter what the robot did, people just stuck to their prejudice.” A robot playing openly as a robot was less likely to get cooperation than another human, even though its strategy was clearly more beneficial to both players. In an additional experiment, players were told, “data suggest that people are better off if they treat the robot as if it were a human.” It had no effect. Virginia Dignum, who leads the Social and Ethical Artificial Intelligence group at Umea University in Sweden and was not involved in the study, praises the researchers for exploring the transparency effectiveness trade-off, but she would like to see it tested in a different setup. Talal’s team said that in the public field, people should be asked for agreement to be deceived (欺骗) about a robot’s identity. It cannot be on an interaction-by-interaction basis, or else the “deception” obviously will not work. But overall permission for deception still raises ethical quandaries (困境). Dignum says humans should have the option to know after they have interacted with a robot — but if she is calling customer service with a simple question, she adds, “I just want to get my answer.” 28. The underlined word “trade-off” is closest in meaning to . A. distinguishing B. balancing C. switching D. combining 29. According to the passage, what attitude do people generally take towards robots? A. Positive. B. Casual. C. Uncertain. D. Distrustful. 30. What can be inferred about the research findings from the third paragraph? A. They fail to support the team’s assumption. B. They are different from the previous findings. C. They will draw people’s attention to robots’ problems. D. They can explain why people treat a robot like a human. 31. According to the passage, what is Virginia Dignum most likely to agree with? A. Tall Rahwan’s research findings can’t apply to the real-world situations. B. Overall permission for interacting with a robot does more harm than good. C. People needn’t be told that they are interacting with a robot on all occasions. D. The relationship between transparency and effectiveness has been fully explored. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章讲述了随着人工智能产品在扮演人类角色方面不断进步，人们越来越担心对面正在和自己交流的是否是台机器，因为人们有自己的偏见，不信任机器人，即使实验证明机器人有很好的合作能力。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“The researchers used an Al product, when pretending as a person, which was better than people are at getting human partners to cooperate. But previous work suggested people tend to disbelieve machines, so the scientists wondered what would happen if the robot revealed itself as such.”（研究人员使用了一种人工智能产品，当假扮成人类时，要比让人类伙伴合作方面表现得更好。但之前的研究表明，人们往往不相信机器，所以科学家们想知道，如果机器人暴露了自己，会发生什么。）和第三段“‘No matter what the robot did, people just stuck to their prejudice.’ A robot playing openly as a robot was less likely to get cooperation than another human, even though its strategy was clearly more beneficial to both players.”（‘不管机器人做什么，人们都坚持自己的偏见。’一个以机器人的身份公开比赛的机器人比另一个人获得合作的可能性更小，尽管它的策略显然对双方都更有利。）可知，人类对机器人存有很深的偏见，即使机器人在合作方面及策略方面都更胜一筹，一旦身份透明，人们都不会选择与其合作。故结合划线词所在句“But the truth may make such products less effective: recent research finds a trade-off between transparency  (透明度) and cooperation in human-computer interactions.”（但事实可能会使这些产品的效果降低：最近的研究发现，在人机交互中，透明度和合作之间存在trade-off。）可知，在人机交互的过程中，要权衡一下透明度和合作之间的关系，否则一旦人们知道对面是机器人在和他们交流，就会产生不信任感，从而降低合作的效率，故trade-off表示“权衡、平衡”。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But previous work suggested people tend to disbelieve machines, so the scientists wondered what would happen if the robot revealed itself as such.”（但之前的研究表明，人们往往不相信机器，所以科学家们想知道，如果机器人暴露了自己，会发生什么。）可知，人们对机器人普遍存在不信任的态度。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The team hoped people playing with a known robot would recognize its ability to cooperate and would eventually overcome their disbelief. ‘Sadly, we failed at this goal,’ says Talal Rahwan,”（该团队希望与已知机器人玩耍的人能够认识到它的合作能力，并最终克服他们的怀疑。‘很遗憾，我们没能实现这个目标，’Talal Rahwan说）和“No matter what the robot did, people just stuck to their prejudice.”（不管机器人做什么，人们只是坚持自己的偏见。）可知，实验结果不支持团队的假设。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Talal’s team said that in the public field, people should be asked for agreement to be deceived (欺骗) about a robot’s identity.”（Talal的团队表示，在公共领域，被机器人的身份欺骗，应该征求人们的同意。）和“Dignum says humans should have the option to know after they have interacted with a robot—but if she is calling customer service with a simple question, she adds, ‘I just want to get my answer.’”（Dignum说，人类在与机器人互动后应该有选择权，但如果她打电话给客服问一个简单的问题，她补充说，‘我只想得到我的答案。’）可知，Dignum认为人类在与机器人互动后，可以有权选择知道机器人的真实身份，但如果只是问客服一个简单的问题，就没有必要知道了，只要客服给出答案就可以。可见，Dignum认为人们不需要在任何情况下都被告知是在和一个机器人互动，可以有所选择。故选C。 D The expression “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (汗水)” is often attributed to Thomas Edison. But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. And as we’re in a service economy now, implementation requires hours and hours not of sweat but of preparation. You must do it all: reading, researching, falling into one rabbit hole after another on the Internet to find the right series of test cases and quotes to make your point, and presenting your idea briefly and clearly. Preparation is everything! Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. The onboard camera shows the terrain (地形). After the landing, I’m pretty sure one of the scientists exclaims, “Hey, that’s my rock.” In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). His speeches didn’t sound like they were read from a piece of paper; they felt stream of consciousness. In his finest hours he showed the value of preparation. But, you may ask, why put in any extra effort? ChatGPT can pass Advanced Placement tests, entry exams for law and medical school, and even the bar exam. That probably says more about how poor those tests are than about AI’s ability. But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. Study everything, not only the task you’ve been assigned. Dig deep. Come up with ideas and potential solutions. Work on an elevator speech for what excites you. Don’t wing it. Prepare. And trust me, the feeling you get from preparation-induced success is better than anything you can buy at a drugstore. Preparation will make you super great. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The service economy makes ideas worthless. B. Implementation does not take much time these days. C. Ideas are worthless without preparation and hard work. D. Implementation requires more inspiration than preparation. 33. How does the author try to persuade readers to accept his argument? A. By listing examples. B. By sharing his experience. C. By providing research results. D. By referring to experts’ words. 34. What point is the author trying to make by mentioning ChatGPT? A. ChatGPT is capable of passing various tests. B. Preparation can help you perform better than AI. C. Elevator conversations require high social skills. D. Standard tests do not fully represent one’s abilities. 35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How we can achieve success with little sweat. B. How we should make preparation for our future. C. Why perspiration still maters in the 21st century. D. Why preparation can pave the way to your success. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文强调成功更多依赖于99%的准备而非灵感，通过爱迪生名言的更新、火星车着陆准备、丘吉尔演讲准备等例子，论证了充分准备对于成功的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. (事实上，想法的传播速度比以往任何时候都快，但大多数想法都毫无价值，因为没有人努力实施它们)”可知，没有准备和努力的想法是无价值的。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. (观看2021年毅力号火星车在火星表面着陆的精彩视频)”和第三段中的“In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. (在任务准备过程中，整个着陆区都被数字化了。规划者知道每一块岩石的位置和地形的倾角)”以及第四段中的“Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). (丘吉尔以熟记演讲而闻名，并在浴缸里反复练习演讲。其中一些是为了克服他的口吃，但主要是为了让语气恰到好处。没有什么是即兴的)”可知，作者在文章中通过列举多个例子来支持他的观点，如Perseverance火星探测器着陆前的详尽准备，以及丘吉尔对演讲的精心准备等。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. (但是，尽管人工智能几乎可以回答你提出的任何问题，但当你的老板问你对奥马哈的新产品创意或销售前景有何看法时，它在电梯里毫无价值)”可知，在实际的工作场景中，如电梯里老板询问你对新产品想法或销售前景的看法时，AI是无能为力的。这实际上是在突出准备和人的能力的重要性，即准备可以让你在需要时表现得比AI更好。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” (但随着我们进入21世纪，我认为我们应该更新这句话：“成功是1%的灵感和99%的准备。”)”以及最后一段中的“The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. (唯一的答案来自99%的准备)”和“ Preparation will make you super great. (准备会让你变得超级棒)”可知，作者认为成功不仅仅是靠灵感，更重要的是准备，整篇文章主要围绕“准备”这一主题展开，通过多个例子和论述来强调准备对于成功的重要性。故选D项。 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It has been a few rough years.

D 37. G 38. E 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了水的治愈和放松作用。水能减少我们需要处理的视觉和听觉信息，让我们的大脑和身体都得到休息。同时，水的动态性和节奏性声音能以一种不过于苛刻的方式吸引我们的注意力，帮助我们从日常生活的压力中解脱出来。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Participating in water activities such as swimming or surfing can help us enter a “flow state”.(参加游泳或冲浪等水上活动可以帮助我们进入“心流状态”)”提到生僻概念“flow state”，此句应适当解释，而下文“It calms the mind, which is often absorbed by reasoning and worry, says Ricardo Gil-da-Costa, a neuroscientist and chief executive of the neurotechnology company Neuroverse, who has studied how water affects our brain.(神经科学家、神经技术公司Neuroverse的首席执行官Ricardo Gil-da-Costa研究了水如何影响我们的大脑，他说，水能使大脑平静下来，因为大脑经常被推理和担忧所吸引)”阐释此状态的效果。D选项“这意味着我们完全投入到我们正在做的事情中”衔接顺畅，故选D。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Bodies of water also can produce a glorious sense of awe—the emotional response to something vast that expands and challenges how we see the world.(水体也能产生一种光荣的敬畏感——一种对扩展和挑战我们看待世界方式的巨大事物的情感反应)”提到“awe”，可知，本句进一步阐释其效应。故G选项“敬畏可以减轻压力，帮助我们正确看待事物”符合语境。故选G。 【38题详解】 本段前两句“Water has special properties that may boost nature’s positive impact, environmental psychologists say. When we are near water, there is often less visual and auditory information to process.(环境心理学家说，水具有特殊的性质，可以增强大自然的积极影响。当我们靠近水时，需要处理的视觉和听觉信息往往较少)”笼统地提到水有一些特殊属性含有较少视觉和听觉信息。由空前“Our mind can rest(我们的心可以休息)”可知，行文逻辑已经从说明水的特质转变为阐释水对人的影响或效果。此空下文“Besides, its smell can stir (激发) up positive memories and associations.(此外，它的气味还能唤起积极的记忆和联想)”亦是阐释其效果，可知本句是在阐释水声对人的影响或效果。E选项“水的声音，典型的稳定和柔和，安慰我们”符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 由前三段的段首句可知，每段从不同方面解释水具有治愈力的原因，此段也不例外。由下文“It moves rhythmically, producing a play of light, color and sound that is fascinating.(它有节奏地移动，产生一种迷人的光、色和声的游戏)”可知，此段着重于介绍水的动态性，A选项“最重要的是：水是动态的”符合语境。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上文“It moves rhythmically, producing a play of light, color and sound that is fascinating. It holds our attention, but not in an overly demanding way.(它有节奏地移动，产生一种迷人的光、色和声的游戏。它吸引了我们的注意力，但不是以一种过分要求的方式)”可知，此处需要从正面来说明水对我们有较为柔和的影响，即“软迷恋”。故B选项“研究人员称之为‘软魅力’”衔接顺畅。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） In April, the lockdown in Morris Township was coming to an end.

As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vogt asked me, “Do you know about the Make-A-Wish Foundation?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, a 17-year-old girl Amy Graham has been diagnosed as having terminal (晚期的) cancer. Doctors gave her three days. Her dying wish was to attend your lecture.” I was shocked. I felt a combination of awe and doubt. I couldn’t believe it. I thought kids who were dying would want to go see Disneyland, or suchlike. Why would a kid with only a few days to live want to spend their final days listening to a motivational speaker? Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted… “Here’s Amy.” Before me stood a girl wearing a bright red hat to cover her head, which was bald from all of the treatments. Her weak body was a bit bent. She said, “My two goals were to graduate from high school and to attend your lecture. My doctors didn’t believe I could do either and they didn’t think I’d have enough energy. I have to rely on my parents now.” Tears welled in my eyes; I was choked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my throat and smiled, “Thanks for wanting to come.” We hugged, wiped our eyes and separated. That Sunday afternoon I held the workshop that Amy and her parents attended. The audience was packed to overflowing with over a thousand attendees eager to learn, grow and become more fully human. I humbly asked the audience if they wanted to learn a healing process that might serve them for life. From the stage it appeared that everyone’s hand was raised high in the air. I taught the audience how to vigorously (用力地) rub their hands together, separate them by two inches and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them off with a partner to feel the healing energy from themselves to another, explaining that everyone had healing potential to support others. 注意： 1. 续写短文词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 At that point an idea struck me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a round of applause, Amy’s dad led her off the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At that point an idea struck me. I said to the audience, “This morning I was introduced to Amy Graham, a 17-year-old. I want to bring her up here and let you all send healing life energy toward her.” Supported by her father, Amy stepped onto the stage, looking frail from an absolute lack of exercise. She talked about what she was suffering from and her final wish to be at this workshop. Touched by her story, the audience spontaneously warmed up their hands and engaged in the simple exercise, after which they gave her a tearful standing ovation. With a round of applause, Amy’s dad led her off the stage. At that moment, the workshop became more than just a lecture on positive thinking — it showed the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit. After the workshop concluded, attendees lingered, sharing stories and exchanging contact information. Many approached Amy and her parents, offering words of encouragement. It was clear that something extraordinary had taken place — a blend of hope, belief, and the courage to confront adversity with positivity. Before leaving, Amy thanked me for the unexpected invitation, which was a real bonus for her and gave her the healing power beyond physical remedies. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次讲座前认识了一个身患绝症的女孩，女孩和家人来参加作者的讲座。在研讨会上，作者谈论起疗愈，并向大家介绍了这个女孩，女孩谈及了自己的故事，让听众感动。这次研讨会对女孩产生了真正疗愈的力量。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就那时，我突然有了一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写作者邀请女孩上台演讲，观众被感动。 ②由第二段首句内容“伴随着一阵热烈的掌声，Amy的爸爸领着她走下了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写研讨会结束，与会者相互交换故事和信息，研讨会对女孩的意义重大。 2.续写线索：介绍Amy上台——Amy分享自己的故事——观众感动——研讨会之后的活动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①参与：engage in/participate in ②支持：support/back up 情绪类 ①感动：touched/moved ②感激：thank/be grateful to 【点睛】[高分句型1].
