From discovering the importance of turning off lights to exploring the magic of renewable energy sources, become a qualified Monster Detective and prepare to save the planet!(在图书馆与Grant County PUD一起揭开可持续发展的秘密。从发现关灯的重要性，到探索可再生能源的魔力，成为一名合格的怪兽侦探，准备拯救地球！)”可知，在Monster Detective Collective项目，参与者可以了解能源节约。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Learn To Play Ukulele下的“Ukuleles will be available for use during the program on a first-come, first-served basis.(在节目期间，尤克里里琴将以先到先得的方式提供使用)”可知，在Learn To Play Ukulele项目中，项目为最早到达的学生提供了尤克里里琴。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We will kick off our free Summer Library Program on June 7, offering a variety of programs and activities for all ages.(我们将于6月7日开始免费的暑期图书馆项目，为所有年龄段的学生提供各种各样的项目和活动)”以及第二段“Registration is available at all 30 library locations, the community bookmobile, and online.(登记可在所有30个图书馆地点、社区流动图书馆和网上进行)”结合选项可知，本文最有可能来自一个公共图书馆网站。故选B项。 B “Are we alone in the universe? That’s the key question we’re trying to answer here,” Meenakshi Wadhwa, a planetary scientist, tells her class. As she explains, one student takes notes while another holds up an iPhone to take a photo of the slides. In many ways this lecture hall at Arizona State University is like any other. A group of enthusiastic women sit attentively in the front row; the men are spread out in the back. But the hearing aids suggest how unusual this class is. Mirabella, a 20- storey “university retirement community” on ASU’s campus, is home to over 300 retired people. When it was opened in 2020, the senior-living facility was nearly fully subscribed. Most residents are having a ball. They can attend the same classes and cultural events as students, but with the distinct benefit of not having to take exams. In their dorms, facilities include an art studio, a pool and gym, and a games room. Only the second floor feels institutional, with a memory- care centre and rooms for residents who need round- the- clock attention. This is part of a wider trend. An estimated 85 colleges in America are now connected to senior living communities. With more than 10,000 baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人) in America turning 65 every day, the opportunity for alternative forms of retirement is large. Compared with previous generations, boomers are wealthy, educated and picky. They want to remain active and not locked away. These wishes can all be met on a university campus. For universities, welcoming pensioners (领退休金者) can make sense too. Nationally, undergraduate enrolment dropped from over 18m in 2010 to below 16m in 2022. As for what to do with the extra space, the smartest ones, Andrew Carle at Georgetown University says, provide a continuum of care — including for the very last stage of life. “The charity is the icing on the cake,” he says of the potential that residents will include universities in their wills. 4. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By raising a question. B. By making a comparison. C. By offering an explanation. D. By giving a description. 5. Why are university retirement communities well- received? A. They provide free medical car B. They have various research facilities. C. They allow students to take exams flexibly. D. They help seniors live an active and engaging life. 6. How can universities benefit from integrating senior living communities? A. It improves university teaching programs. B. It addresses the university enrolment decline. C. It draws public attention to university education. D. It earns universities the fame for caring for seniors. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Different forms of retirement. B. The education welfare of pensioners. C. The trend of retiring on college campuses. D. A new way for universities to make profits. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“大学退休社区”，为老年退休人员提供服务，介绍了这一机构的特点以及带来的好处。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Are we alone in the universe? That’s the key question we’re trying to answer here,” Meenakshi Wadhwa, a planetary scientist, tells her class. As she explains, one student takes notes while another holds up an iPhone to take a photo of the slides. In many ways this lecture hall at Arizona State University is like any other. A group of enthusiastic women sit attentively in the front row; the men are spread out in the back. But the hearing aids suggest how unusual this class is.(“我们在宇宙中是孤独的吗?”这是我们在这里试图回答的关键问题，”行星科学家Meenakshi Wadhwa告诉她的学生。她解释说，一个学生在做笔记，另一个学生拿着iPhone给幻灯片拍照。在许多方面，亚利桑那州立大学的这个演讲厅和其他任何演讲厅都一样。一群热情的妇女聚精会神地坐在前排；人们在后面散开。但助听器表明，这门课有多不寻常)”可知，作者通过描述一个上课的情景引入主题。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Compared with previous generations, boomers are wealthy, educated and picky. They want to remain active and not locked away. These wishes can all be met on a university campus.(与前几代人相比，婴儿潮一代富有、受过良好教育，而且很挑剔。他们希望保持活跃，而不是被关起来。这些愿望都可以在大学校园里实现)”可知，大学退休社区受到欢迎因为它们帮助老年人过积极而有吸引力的生活。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For universities, welcoming pensioners (领退休金者) can make sense too. Nationally, undergraduate enrolment dropped from over 18m in 2010 to below 16m in 2022.(对于大学来说，欢迎退休人员也是有意义的。在全国范围内，本科生入学人数从2010年的1800多万下降到2022年的1600万以下)”可知，大学通过解决大学入学率下降的问题从整合老年人生活社区中获益。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Mirabella, a 20- storey “university retirement community” on ASU’s campus, is home to over 300 retired people.(米拉贝拉是亚利桑那州立大学校园里一个20层的“大学退休社区”，住着300多名退休人员)”结合文章主要介绍了“大学退休社区”为老年退休人员提供服务可知，这篇文章的主要内容是大学校园里为退休人员提供教育的趋势。故选C。 C For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads. Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers. Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness. Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort. 8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues? A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers. C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of Apple’s new design. B. The cause of motion sickness. C. The functions of Apples new design. D. The symptoms of motion sickness. 10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____. A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain B. tell the mismatched physical sensations C. balance the movement of our eyes and body D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了晕车的现象、原因以及苹果公司针对这一问题在iPhone和iPad上推出的“车辆运动提示”功能，旨在解释这一新功能的工作原理及其对用户的益处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness.(苹果公司新推出的车辆运动提示功能旨在弥合这一差距，为那些容易晕车的人带来缓解。)”可知，苹果公司为解决晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能。对于经常旅行的人来说，他们在旅途中更容易受到晕车的困扰，而这个功能可以帮助他们缓解晕车症状，让旅途更加舒适，所以频繁旅行者会对该功能感兴趣。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.(当你的眼睛所看到的与身体所感觉到的不一致时，就会产生晕车现象。当你身处移动的交通工具中时，你的身体会通过前庭系统感知运动，但如果你的眼睛聚焦在一个静止的屏幕上，而这个屏幕并未反映出这种运动，大脑就会接收到混杂的信号。这种感官上的冲突会导致头晕、恶心以及全身不适——这些都是晕车患者再熟悉不过的症状了。)”可知，第二段开头提到什么情况下会产生晕车现象。随后详细解释了在移动的交通工具中，身体通过前庭系统感知运动，而眼睛聚焦静止屏幕会使大脑接收混杂信号，从而引发晕车的过程。所以这一段主要是在讲述晕车的原因。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This feature works by showing animated(动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.(该功能的工作原理是在屏幕周围显示一些动画小圆点，这些小圆点会与你所在交通工具的运动同时且同速移动。这些移动的提示有助于让身体感觉到的运动与眼睛看到的保持一致，从而有效减少导致晕车的感官上的不一致情况。)”可知，通过在屏幕周围显示动画小圆点，能够减少大脑中导致晕车的感官冲突。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出晕车问题会破坏旅途体验这一常见现象，接着介绍了晕车产生的原因，随后重点阐述了苹果公司针对晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能，包括其工作原理以及早期反馈显示的有效性等内容，整体都是围绕苹果公司推出的新设计来帮助人们告别晕车展开的。选项D“Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design(告别晕车：苹果推出其新设计)”与此相符。故选D。 D A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 12. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 14. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能语言工具的便利性与语言学习的文化深度之间的差异，作者引导我们对人工智能语言工具进行批判性思考然后得出结论：人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. ‘My favorite food is sushi,’ I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.(几天前，我看了一段我自己说一口流利汉语的视频。我断断续续地学习这门语言才几年，还远谈不上流利。但我就这样，每个字的发音就像母语人士一样。‘我最喜欢的食物是寿司，’我说——我最喜欢吃寿司。)”以及下文，尤其是最后一段中“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning.(从本质上讲，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习所带来的深度和文化洞察力。)”可知，文章第一段以作者自己的体验引出AI语言工具，然后鼓励对AI语言工具进行批判性思考。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience.(然而，语言翻译是一门艺术，而不是一门科学。为了换取这种便利，将失去一些巨大的东西。)”以及“Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,(在广泛不同的语言（如中文和英文）之间建立一个阶梯，有时就像医生在病人心中架起一座桥梁一样困难，)”可知，语言翻译并不是技术能解决的问题，它远远超出了技术范畴。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of Al, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. (语言教授黛博拉·科恩强调，语言学习实际上是关于理解和联系不同的文化；一些教育工作者主张强调语言学习的跨文化方面，而不是放弃语言课程而选择人工智能。)”可知，学习语言的主要好处是有效的跨文化互动。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry(织锦)that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.(本质上，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。学习一门语言的挑战和美妙之处在于理解通过单词编织的文化挂毯，这是人工智能尚未实现的。)”可知，作者在最后一段表明人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美，因为人工智能语言工具缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。故选C项。 第二节 七选五(共5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。 How Loneliness Is Killing Us Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic (流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be.”_____16_____And that makes it different from isolation (独处). I can deliberately isolate myself and feel great about that, but only you can tell if you’re lonely. _____17_____ In some studies, as many as, 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. Young adults aged 16 to 24 are the loneliest age group. There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private cars. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education. _____18_____ But then it tears us away from the communities we are born into and spend much of our lives creating. When television came into the American home, there was more of a decline in investing in our communities. And that was made worse as the digital revolution gave us more and more screens to look at. Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. ____19____In addition, people who are lonely in late life have more rapid brain decline. The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of wellbeing is to invest in our relationships with other people. ____20____.You belong. You matter. You’re connected. A. It’s a very subjective experience. B. All of that is good on the one hand. C. You may feel lost and may have low confidence. D. Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown. E. Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people. F. People go to faraway colleges and only get in touch with families on screen. G. A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. B 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现在人们感到孤独的原因以及孤独对我们的影响。 【16题详解】 由上文“Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be”.孤独是一种“我和别人的联系比我想要的少”的感觉)”可知，这里在具体描述孤独是一种怎样的状态，而A项It’s a very subjective experience.(这是一种非常主观的体验)符合语境，其中It指代上文的 Loneliness，subjective与上文I want to be对应，所以本句有承上作用。故选A项。 【17题详解】 由下文“In some studies, as many as, 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. (在一些研究中，多达60%的人会说他们大部分时间都感到孤独)”可知，这里讲很多人会感觉到孤独，而E项Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.(自20世纪50年代以来，人们对他人的投入的沟通时间越来越少)符合语境，与下句构成因果关系，所以有启下作用。故选E项。 【18题详解】 由上文“There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private care. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.(造成这种情况的因素有很多。自20世纪50年代以来，孤独感呈上升趋势，部分原因是私人护理的兴起。我们已经成为一个流动性更强的社会，随着人们为工作和教育等其他机会而流动，家人和朋友的网络变得松散)”可知，这里在讲造成孤独的因素。而B项All of that is good on the one hand.(一方面，这一切都很好)符合语境，that指代上文列举的具体情况， 本句也与but引导的后文形成转折关系。故选B项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. (研究发现孤独对我们的健康是危险的)”可知，孤独对我们的健康是危险的，而D项Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.(孤独带来的压力会导致身体崩溃)符合语境，其中physical breakdown与上文dangerous to our health对应，所以本句有承上作用。故选D项。 【20题详解】 由上文“The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of wellbeing is to invest in our relationships with other people.(我们可以做出的选择是投资于我们与他人的关系，以保持我们的健康)”可知，这里讲我们可以投资于我们与他人的关系来保持我们的健康，而G项A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.(一个好方法是在别人周围找一个你觉得舒服的活动)符合语境，本句为改善我们与他人的关系的具体建议，所以有承上作用。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When the couple had to close their business, they ____21____ almost everything.

Communication is built on relationships, shared experiences and emotions to make decisions, and avoiding ___38___(open) expressing disagreements. “Low-context culture” countries like Australia and Germany rely on direct communication and ___39___(write) rules to convey meaning. They rely less on shared assumptions of the group and the context of the situation, ___40___ results in the need for being more precise. Understanding “high-context and low-context cultures” is a huge advantage for global businesses, as it has an impact ___41___ communication, negotiation, and more.

He kicked chunks of snow with his new Nike shoes. He only pretended to listen to the chat of his friends, Norm and Ed, as they all got on the number 10 bus after school. Frank and his friends sat down at the back of the bus along with several other high school boys, some from other schools. The bus headed west on Blue Mound Road. He still remembered another cold, gray day just a month ago in November when his world crashed down around him, as he read the team list, searching desperately for his name. It wasn’t there. The bus braked suddenly, and Frank naturally pressed his Nikes against the floor. “It must have been my size,” he thought, “Five-feet-four. Since I’m new at Marquette High, the coach must have taken one look at me and my shoes and decided I was too small to join the basketball team.” He had been a star athlete in all the sports in primary school. Now, it seemed he was a nothing. The bus stopped at the County Institutions grounds. Frank glanced up at the driver, who had a nickname “Kojak” because of his bald head. An elderly woman hung onto the handrail and slowly pulled herself onto the bus. As she sank into the seat behind the bus driver, her feet kicked up, and Frank saw that she was barefoot. As Kojak got the bus back into traffic, he yelled over his shoulder, “Where are your shoes, lady? It was below 10 degrees out there.” “I can’t afford shoes,” the woman answered. She pulled her worn-out coat collar around her neck. Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and laughed. “I got on the bus just to get my feet warm,” the woman continued. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just ride around with you for a bit.” Kojak scratched his bald head and shouted, “Now just tell me how come you can’t afford shoes?” “My husband is badly ill in the hospital, so we only have money for food and necessities,” the woman said in a low voice. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Frank hurried to the door and was about to step down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. His feet were warm and cosy. When he glanced at the woman who was dressed in rags, a sense of sorrow swept over him. With a complicated mood, he slipped the shoes off under his seat. When the bus stopped, Frank waited until everyone else had got off. Then he reached under his seat and picked up his basketball shoes. He walked quickly up to the woman and handed them to her, looking down and saying, “Here, lady, you need these more than I do.” Then Frank hurried to the door and was about to step down. He heard the woman exclaim, “Look, they fit me just perfectly!” Then he heard Kojak said, “I’ve never seen anything like that in the 20 years I’ve been driving this bus.” The woman was crying. “Thank you, young man,” she said. He smiled at the woman. “It’s no big deal.” He hurried off after Norm and Ed. It seemed to him that the grayness had lifted. On the way home, hardly could he feel the cold beneath his feet at all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Frank Daily从个人失落到帮助他人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Frank 低头看了看他的新耐克篮球鞋。”可知，第一段可描写Frank对自身处境的反思以及他看到老妇人赤脚时内心的触动。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后 Frank 匆忙走到门口，正准备下车。”可知，第二段可描写Frank做出决定，将新鞋送给老妇人，并且这一举动带来的影响和变化。 2.续写线索：Frank的失落——发现老妇人赤脚——内心触动——决定送鞋——老妇人的感激——Frank内心的转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看了一眼：glance at/peek at ②脱下鞋子：slip the shoes off/take the shoes off ③对……微笑：smile at/beam at 情绪类 ①一种悲伤的感觉：a sense of sorrow/a feeling of sadness ②复杂的心情：a complicated mood/a mixed emotion 【点睛】【高分句型1】When he glanced at the woman who was dressed in rags, a sense of sorrow swept over him. （运用了when引导时间状语从句和who引导定语从句） 【高分句型2】He walked quickly up to the woman and handed them to her, looking down and saying, “Here, lady, you need these more than I do.” （运用的现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型3】On the way home, hardly could he feel the cold beneath his feet at all. （运用了否定词hardly位于句首的部分倒装结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 青岛十九中2024-2025学年度第一学期期中模块检测 高三英语试题 说明： 1.本试卷分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷。满分150分。答题时间120分钟。 2.请将第Ⅰ卷题目的答案选出后用2B铅笔涂在答题纸对应题目的代号上;第Ⅱ卷用黑色签字笔将正确答案写在答题纸对应的位置上，答在试卷上作废。 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.

As she explains, one student takes notes while another holds up an iPhone to take a photo of the slides. In many ways this lecture hall at Arizona State University is like any other. A group of enthusiastic women sit attentively in the front row; the men are spread out in the back. But the hearing aids suggest how unusual this class is. Mirabella, a 20- storey “university retirement community” on ASU’s campus, is home to over 300 retired people. When it was opened in 2020, the senior-living facility was nearly fully subscribed. Most residents are having a ball. They can attend the same classes and cultural events as students, but with the distinct benefit of not having to take exams. In their dorms, facilities include an art studio, a pool and gym, and a games room. Only the second floor feels institutional, with a memory- care centre and rooms for residents who need round- the- clock attention. This is part of a wider trend. An estimated 85 colleges in America are now connected to senior living communities. With more than 10,000 baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人) in America turning 65 every day, the opportunity for alternative forms of retirement is large. Compared with previous generations, boomers are wealthy, educated and picky. They want to remain active and not locked away. These wishes can all be met on a university campus. For universities, welcoming pensioners (领退休金者) can make sense too. Nationally, undergraduate enrolment dropped from over 18m in 2010 to below 16m in 2022. As for what to do with the extra space, the smartest ones, Andrew Carle at Georgetown University says, provide a continuum of care — including for the very last stage of life. “The charity is the icing on the cake,” he says of the potential that residents will include universities in their wills. 4. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By raising a question. B. By making a comparison. C. By offering an explanation. D. By giving a description. 5. Why are university retirement communities well- received? A. They provide free medical car B. They have various research facilities. C. They allow students to take exams flexibly. D. They help seniors live an active and engaging life. 6. How can universities benefit from integrating senior living communities? A. It improves university teaching programs. B. It addresses the university enrolment decline. C. It draws public attention to university education. D. It earns universities the fame for caring for seniors. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Different forms of retirement. B. The education welfare of pensioners. C. The trend of retiring on college campuses. D. A new way for universities to make profits. C For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads. Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers. Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness. Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort. 8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues? A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers. C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of Apple’s new design. B. The cause of motion sickness. C. The functions of Apples new design. D The symptoms of motion sickness. 10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____. A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain B. tell the mismatched physical sensations C. balance the movement of our eyes and body D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design D A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 12. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D.

Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 14. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. 第二节 七选五(共5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。 How Loneliness Is Killing Us Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic (流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades.

He kicked chunks of snow with his new Nike shoes. He only pretended to listen to the chat of his friends, Norm and Ed, as they all got on the number 10 bus after school. Frank and his friends sat down at the back of the bus along with several other high school boys, some from other schools. The bus headed west on Blue Mound Road. He still remembered another cold, gray day just a month ago in November when his world crashed down around him, as he read the team list, searching desperately for his name. It wasn’t there. The bus braked suddenly, and Frank naturally pressed his Nikes against the floor. “It must have been my size,” he thought, “Five-feet-four. Since I’m new at Marquette High, the coach must have taken one look at me and my shoes and decided I was too small to join the basketball team.” He had been a star athlete in all the sports in primary school. Now, it seemed he was a nothing. The bus stopped at the County Institutions grounds. Frank glanced up at the driver, who had a nickname “Kojak” because of his bald head. An elderly woman hung onto the handrail and slowly pulled herself onto the bus. As she sank into the seat behind the bus driver, her feet kicked up, and Frank saw that she was barefoot. As Kojak got the bus back into traffic, he yelled over his shoulder, “Where are your shoes, lady? It was below 10 degrees out there.” “I can’t afford shoes,” the woman answered. She pulled her worn-out coat collar around her neck. Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and laughed. “I got on the bus just to get my feet warm,” the woman continued. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just ride around with you for a bit.” Kojak scratched his bald head and shouted, “Now just tell me how come you can’t afford shoes?” “My husband is badly ill in the hospital, so we only have money for food and necessities,” the woman said in a low voice. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Frank hurried to the door and was about to step down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
