B Human’s pursuit of beauty begins at an early age. The fact is perfectly true for young ladies. When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles. By the time she turned 14, Scarlett and her friends were spending hours on TikTok and YouTube watching people talk about products to make their skin look nice: a wet, shiny, perfect skin. Scarlett made a big skin care routine with face wash, sprays, hydrating covers and creams. One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles. Using too much strong stuff for grown-ups made her skin very bad. Scarlett’s experience is common now, experts say, as young girls go to beauty stores to buy fancy skin care products, a trend seen in popular videos with the hashtag #SephoraKids. Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong. Young or sensitive skin can get red, peel and burn that can cause infections, spots and too much sensitivity if not used right, skin doctors say. “The focus on skin care is more than just wanting perfect skin. It’s about feeling accepted and belonging to a community that has the lifestyle and look you want,” says 14-year-old Mia Hall. More than the harm to the body, parents and child psychologists worry about how this trend can affect girls’ feelings and thoughts for a long time. A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry, sadness and eating problems. The amount of detail and information girls get from beauty lessons sends a bad message at a time when they are growing up and finding out who they are, says Charlotte Markey, a body image expert and a teacher at Rutgers University. 24. What was Scarlett’s concern when she was in fifth grade? A. Getting wrinkles. B. Her skin not being shiny. C. Her skin’s hydration. D. Being rejected by her friends. 25. What happened to Scarlett’s skin after using adult-strength products? A. Her skin became flawless. B. Her skin turned red and peel. C. Her skin became very smooth. D. Her skin started to burn and blister. 26. Why are some skin care products harmful for young or sensitive skin? A. They are too expensive. B. They are not sold in beauty stores. C. They are designed for older people. D. They can cause redness, peeling, and burning. 27. What is the possible result of too much focus on skin care? A. It improves understanding of proper skin care routines. B. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. C. It helps to build better self-esteem and confidence. D. It encourages healthy relationships with peers. C These days, we’re all well aware of the plastic problem the world’s facing. We’re reminded of this issue all the time, whether that’s by being encouraged to recycle, or by having to pay for disposable carrier bags. Although we all realize what a serious issue plastic pollution is, it’s different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself. This was the situation a team of researchers who recently published a study on the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch (垃圾带) in the journal Scientific Reports found themselves in. According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California, US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste and covers 1.6 million square kilometers. It’s over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing. “I’ve been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see [the patch in person],” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study, told the Guardian. “There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. There’s clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.” It’s believed that 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, and a lot of it ends up collecting near largo ocean currents around the world, forming “islands” of plastic. This causes problems not only for son creatures but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the digestive systems of fish and birds. As a result, it’s believed that plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates — not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it. So what can we do about this? Lebreton is a member of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a group that’s developed technology to collect plastic waste from the ocean. This is a huge project, with the group claiming it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more mindful of how we use it. “In my opinion, plastic is very useful. But I think we must divert (转移) the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service lifespan,” he told BBC News. 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. B. A study on plastic pollution. C. Lebreton and his research. D. Cleaning ocean of plastic. 29. According to the text, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch ________. A. is about four times the size of Beijing. B. is harmful to both sea creatures and humans. C. consists of about 1.6 million tons of plastic waste. D. was formed because of swirling ocean currents. 30 What can we learn from the passage? A. People should be more careful with their use of plastic products. B. Single-use plastic should be banned for the sake of the environment. C. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be cleaned up in about five years. D. Plastic products with short service lifespans should be replaced. 31 What is the text probably from? A. A business report B. A textbook C. A magazine D. Science fiction D Language gradually shifts over time. Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little deals with the forces of human cognitive (认知) selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists investigated just that. In an experiment, thousands of participants read English-language stories and rewrote them to be read by other participants, who then rewrote them for others. Only certain words from the first stories survived in the final versions. Researchers analyzed the word types speakers consistently favored, theorizing that such preferences drive language change over time. The scientists also analyzed two large collections of English historical texts from the past two centuries, containing more than 40 billion words — again seeing only certain types survive. The results combined to show three properties that give words an “evolutionary advantage” (演变优势) by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as “hand,” “uncle” or “today”) are stabler. Next, concrete words stay better than abstract ones: “dog” persists longer than “animal,”which persists longer than “organism.” Lastly, emotionally exciting words — whether negative or positive — tend to last. Indiana cognitive scientist and study co-author Fritz Breithaupt says the new study supports a more recent theory that language ultimately gets more efficient and easier to understand. Still, “the English language is not baby talk.” Breithaupt explains, “Yes, we shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need.” New words that address the complexity of modern life may somewhat counter this shift. The proposed trend toward “simpler” language is controversial. Columbia University linguist John McWhorter questions, however, the overall efficiency of English — a language he says contains things like “needlessly complex” grammatical uses. “There are about five ways to indicate the future in English,” he says. “I pity anybody who doesn’t grow up with it natively” and wants to learn it. Study lead author Ying Li, a Chinese psychologist, notes that English had even more complicated grammar in the past. McWhorter, Li supposes, “would complain more if he traveled back 800 years ago.” 32. What contributes to language change according to the new study? A. A shift towards simple words. B. The analysis of historical texts. C. A preference for certain words. D. The exploration of social factors. 33. Which of the following words has the greatest “evolutionary advantage”? A. Feeling. B. Smile. C. Independence. D. Life. 34. What does the underlined word “counter” mean in paragraph 4? A. Rely on. B. Adapt to. C. Speed up. D. Balance out. 35. What can we infer about McWhorter in the last paragraph? A. He would likely criticize English grammar more in the past. B. He would probably doubt the necessity of the English future tense. C. He believes modern English grammar improves language efficiency. D. He thinks native English speakers find English grammar challenging. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in children’s lives, from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. ___36___ To help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies: Frame AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. ___37___ If they’re working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently. Once they’ve done their best, they can use AI to check their work or get additional insights. This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort. ___38___ Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from. Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me?” or “Is this information proven?” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism. Encourage creativity over convenience. When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool. ___39___ However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style. This approach helps them see AI as a springboard for their creativity, not a substitute for their own ideas. Set boundaries on AI use. Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use. For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. ___40___ These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking. By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than a crutch (依靠), you’ll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking. A. Model responsible AI use. B. Teach them to question the source. C. However, do not use it to complete assignments. D. Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut. E. AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly. F. For example, if they’re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas. G. While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Art of Friendship David Andrew, an art teacher, had just moved to California this summer.

People were busy in my home. The living room, transformed into a sort of workshop, was piled with boxes, wrapping paper, and some colorful ribbons (缎带). At the center of it all was my mother, Lee-Ann. Every year, Lee-Ann organized a Christmas charity drive, collecting donations, gifts, and food hampers (食品篮) for families in need within our community. It was a tradition she had started when I was just a toddler, fueled by her belief that everyone deserved to experience the joy and warmth of life, regardless of their circumstances. “But, Mom, do you think we can manage? I mean, it’s amazing what you’re doing, but it’s a lot of work, and...” I asked. She stopped wrapping and looked up at me, her gaze firm yet gentle. “Mark, do you know why I do this every year?” she asked. I shook my head, realizing I had never really known her motivations. “Because,” she continued, “giving brings us together. It reminds us that we’re all part of a bigger family. And if we can make even a small difference in someone’s life, then all the effort is worth it.” Moved by her words, I nodded, understanding for the first time the depth of her commitment. The days that followed were a lot of activities. Our family, along with a group of volunteers drawn in by my mother’s infectious enthusiasm, worked tirelessly. We wrapped gifts, packed food hampers, and arranged deliveries. My mother was everywhere at once, encouraging, and spreading cheer. On Christmas Eve, as we loaded the last of the hampers into the van, my mother turned to me and said, “ Ready for the final round?” 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 上饶市2025届高三第一次高考模拟考试 英语试卷 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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】 What season is it now?

A 【解析】 【原文】 M: In 2016, 13 years after Laura Carney’s father’s death, she spotted her late father’s bucket list. Laura looked at it, and then she glanced up at her husband. “I need to finish it,” she said. The list had 60 tasks, five of which had already been checked off, including “do a comedy monologue in a restaurant” and “see a World Series game live”. One was marked “failed” — “pay back my dad $1,000 plus interest”. That left 54 items for Laura to complete. The items ranged from relatively simple tasks, like “swim the width of a river” and “grow a watermelon” to more complicated tasks, like “talk with the president”. Still, Laura was determined. She learned that the former President Jimmy Carter taught Sunday school in Georgia. She and her husband flew there to meet him. Laura completed many tasks on the bucket list by herself, including a two-week trip to Europe. “I didn’t feel like I was doing things alone, because I knew my dad was with me. My dad was such a dreamer. He spent his days working as a salesman and his spare time singing, writing and performing,” Laura said. “I really encourage everybody to write a bucket list. It helps you start living more intentionally. When you live with purpose, you’re more likely to find your direction in life. And don’t be afraid of leaving some of the items on your list unfinished.” 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Renowned Artworks from Around the Globe Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, a captivating portrait of a woman with a mysterious smile, is located in the Louvre Museum.

The fact is perfectly true for young ladies. When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles. By the time she turned 14, Scarlett and her friends were spending hours on TikTok and YouTube watching people talk about products to make their skin look nice: a wet, shiny, perfect skin. Scarlett made a big skin care routine with face wash, sprays, hydrating covers and creams. One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles. Using too much strong stuff for grown-ups made her skin very bad. Scarlett’s experience is common now, experts say, as young girls go to beauty stores to buy fancy skin care products, a trend seen in popular videos with the hashtag #SephoraKids. Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong. Young or sensitive skin can get red, peel and burn that can cause infections, spots and too much sensitivity if not used right, skin doctors say. “The focus on skin care is more than just wanting perfect skin. It’s about feeling accepted and belonging to a community that has the lifestyle and look you want,” says 14-year-old Mia Hall. More than the harm to the body, parents and child psychologists worry about how this trend can affect girls’ feelings and thoughts for a long time. A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry, sadness and eating problems. The amount of detail and information girls get from beauty lessons sends a bad message at a time when they are growing up and finding out who they are, says Charlotte Markey, a body image expert and a teacher at Rutgers University. 24. What was Scarlett’s concern when she was in fifth grade? A. Getting wrinkles. B. Her skin not being shiny. C. Her skin’s hydration. D. Being rejected by her friends. 25. What happened to Scarlett’s skin after using adult-strength products? A. Her skin became flawless. B. Her skin turned red and peel. C. Her skin became very smooth. D. Her skin started to burn and blister. 26. Why are some skin care products harmful for young or sensitive skin? A They are too expensive. B. They are not sold in beauty stores. C. They are designed for older people. D. They can cause redness, peeling, and burning. 27. What is the possible result of too much focus on skin care? A. It improves understanding of proper skin care routines. B. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. C. It helps to build better self-esteem and confidence. D. It encourages healthy relationships with peers. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章通过几个女孩的事例阐述了年轻女孩过早追求美容护肤的趋势及其潜在危害。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles.(当Scarlett和她的同学们上五年级时，他们开始担心长皱纹。)”可知，Scarlett在五年级时担心的是长皱纹，故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles. Using too much strong stuff for grown-ups made her skin very bad.(一天晚上，思嘉的皮肤开始剧烈地灼烧起来，冒出了泡泡。用了太多成人专用的强力物品，使她的皮肤非常糟糕。)”可知，用了成人护肤产品后，Scarlett的皮肤开始灼烧起水泡。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong. Young or sensitive skin can get red, peel and burn that can cause infections, spots and too much sensitivity if not used right, skin doctors say.(像视黄醇和像果酸这样的化学擦剂是非常强的。皮肤医生说，如果使用不当，年轻或敏感的皮肤会变红、脱皮和灼伤，从而导致感染、斑点和过度敏感。)”可知，有些护肤品对年轻或敏感皮肤有害是因为它们会导致发红、脱皮和灼烧。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry, sadness and eating problems.(很多信息表明，过于关注外表会损害你对自己和身体的感觉，还会引发担忧、悲伤和饮食问题。)”可知，过分关注皮肤护理可能会导致的后果是导致焦虑、抑郁和饮食失调。故选B。 C These days, we’re all well aware of the plastic problem the world’s facing. We’re reminded of this issue all the time, whether that’s by being encouraged to recycle, or by having to pay for disposable carrier bags. Although we all realize what a serious issue plastic pollution is, it’s different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself. This was the situation a team of researchers who recently published a study on the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch (垃圾带) in the journal Scientific Reports found themselves in. According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California, US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste and covers 1.6 million square kilometers. It’s over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing. “I’ve been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see [the patch in person],” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study, told the Guardian. “There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. There’s clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.” It’s believed that 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, and a lot of it ends up collecting near largo ocean currents around the world, forming “islands” of plastic. This causes problems not only for son creatures but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the digestive systems of fish and birds. As a result, it’s believed that plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates — not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it. So what can we do about this? Lebreton is a member of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a group that’s developed technology to collect plastic waste from the ocean. This is a huge project, with the group claiming it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more mindful of how we use it. “In my opinion, plastic is very useful. But I think we must divert (转移) the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service lifespan,” he told BBC News. 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. B. A study on plastic pollution. C. Lebreton and his research. D. Cleaning ocean of plastic. 29. According to the text, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch ________. A. is about four times the size of Beijing. B. is harmful to both sea creatures and humans. C. consists of about 1.6 million tons of plastic waste. D. was formed because of swirling ocean currents. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. People should be more careful with their use of plastic products. B. Single-use plastic should be banned for the sake of the environment. C. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be cleaned up in about five years. D. Plastic products with short service lifespans should be replaced. 31. What is the text probably from? A. A business report B. A textbook C. A magazine D. Science fiction 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太平洋垃圾带的情况，包括其规模、对生态的影响以及应对措施。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“These days, we’re all well aware of the plastic problem the world’s facing. We’re reminded of this issue all the time, whether that’s by being encouraged to recycle, or by having to pay for disposable carrier bags. (如今，我们都很清楚世界正面临的塑料问题。我们时刻被这个问题提醒着，无论是被鼓励回收，还是不得不为一次性购物袋付费)”、第二段中“According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California, US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste and covers 1.6 million square kilometers. It’s over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing. (根据这项研究，这个位于美国加利福尼亚州沿岸的垃圾带由7.9万吨塑料垃圾组成，覆盖面积为160万平方千米。它的面积是日本的四倍多，几乎是北京的100倍)”、第四段中“This causes problems not only for son creatures but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the digestive systems of fish and birds. (这不仅给海洋生物带来问题，也给人类带来问题。旋转的洋流最终会分解部分塑料，其中很多最终进入鱼类和鸟类的消化系统)”以及最后一段中“This is a huge project, with the group claiming it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. (该组织研发了一种从海洋中收集塑料垃圾的技术。这是一个庞大的项目，该组织声称仅清理太平洋垃圾带的一半就需要大约五年的时间)”可知，文章通过描述塑料污染对海洋所造成的严重性和影响，提出了解决方案。选项D“清理海洋塑料”准确地概括了文章的核心内容，即海洋塑料污染问题及其可能的解决方案——清理海洋塑料。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This causes problems not only for sea creatures but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the digestive systems of fish and birds. (这不仅给海洋生物带来了问题，也给人类带来了问题。旋转的洋流最终会分解一些塑料，其中很多塑料最终会进入鱼类和鸟类的消化系统)”可知，太平洋垃圾带对海洋生物和人类都有害。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more mindful of how we use it. (但勒布伦并不主张人们完全放弃使用塑料，他认为我们应该更加注意自己使用塑料的方式)”可知，我们应该更加注意自己使用塑料制品的方式，即人们应该更加小心地使用塑料制品。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California, US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste and covers 1.6 million square kilometers. (据这项研究称，这块漂浮物位于美国加利福尼亚州海岸附近，由79000吨塑料垃圾组成，面积160万平方公里)以及文章其他内容可知，本文主要介绍了关于太平洋垃圾带的研究，介绍了其组成、危害以及解决办法等，属于一篇科普类文章，由此推知，文章来源于杂志。故选C。 D Language gradually shifts over time. Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little deals with the forces of human cognitive (认知的) selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists investigated just that. In an experiment, thousands of participants read English-language stories and rewrote them to be read by other participants, who then rewrote them for others. Only certain words from the first stories survived in the final versions. Researchers analyzed the word types speakers consistently favored, theorizing that such preferences drive language change over time. The scientists also analyzed two large collections of English historical texts from the past two centuries, containing more than 40 billion words — again seeing only certain types survive. The results combined to show three properties that give words an “evolutionary advantage” (演变优势) by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as “hand,” “uncle” or “today”) are stabler. Next, concrete words stay better than abstract ones: “dog” persists longer than “animal,”which persists longer than “organism.” Lastly, emotionally exciting words — whether negative or positive — tend to last. Indiana cognitive scientist and study co-author Fritz Breithaupt says the new study supports a more recent theory that language ultimately gets more efficient and easier to understand. Still, “the English language is not baby talk.” Breithaupt explains, “Yes, we shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need.” New words that address the complexity of modern life may somewhat counter this shift. The proposed trend toward “simpler” language is controversial. Columbia University linguist John McWhorter questions, however, the overall efficiency of English — a language he says contains things like “needlessly complex” grammatical uses. “There are about five ways to indicate the future in English,” he says. “I pity anybody who doesn’t grow up with it natively” and wants to learn it. Study lead author Ying Li, a Chinese psychologist, notes that English had even more complicated grammar in the past. McWhorter, Li supposes, “would complain more if he traveled back 800 years ago.” 32. What contributes to language change according to the new study? A. A shift towards simple words. B. The analysis of historical texts. C. A preference for certain words. D. The exploration of social factors. 33. Which of the following words has the greatest “evolutionary advantage”? A. Feeling. B. Smile. C. Independence. D. Life. 34. What does the underlined word “counter” mean in paragraph 4? A. Rely on. B. Adapt to. C. Speed up. D. Balance out. 35. What can we infer about McWhorter in the last paragraph? A. He would likely criticize English grammar more in the past. B. He would probably doubt the necessity of the English future tense. C. He believes modern English grammar improves language efficiency. D. He thinks native English speakers find English grammar challenging. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了语言随时间变化的认知选择因素。研究表明，早期习得、具体性及情感关联是词汇存留的关键因素。尽管语言演化趋于简单高效，复杂语言仍用于应对现代生活需求，同时引发了关于英语语法复杂性的讨论与反思。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little deals with the forces of human cognitive selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary. (许多研究探讨了社会和环境因素是如何影响语言变化的，但很少涉及人类认知选择的力量，这种力量将某些单词固定在词汇表中。)”以及第二段中的“Researchers analyzed the word types speakers consistently favored, theorizing that such preferences drive language change over time. (研究人员分析了说话者一直喜欢的词汇类型，并提出了这样的偏好会导致语言随着时间的推移而变化的理论。)”可知，根据这项新研究，对某些词的偏爱导致了语言的变化。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The results combined to show three properties that give words an “evolutionary advantage” by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as “hand,” “uncle” or “today”) are stabler. Next, concrete words stay better than abstract ones: “dog” persists longer than “animal,”which persists longer than “organism.” Lastly, emotionally exciting words—whether negative or positive—tend to last. (综合这些结果，我们发现了三个特性，这些特性通过帮助单词在大脑中留下深刻印象，从而赋予单词“进化优势”：首先，通常在早年习得的单词（如“手”、“叔叔”或“今天”）更加稳定。其次，具体单词比抽象单词更容易被记住：“狗”这个词比“动物”这个词记忆得更长久，而“动物”又比“生物体”记忆得更长久。最后，无论是负面的还是正面的，情绪上令人激动的单词往往更加持久。)”可知，语言的“进化优势”包括三个特性：早期习得性、具体性以及情感激励性。选项中“Smile (微笑)”具备早期习得、具体性和情感关联，因此比“feeling(情感的总称，偏抽象)”、“independence (学得的抽象词汇)”和“life (抽象词汇)”更具优势。故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Still, “the English language is not baby talk.” Breithaupt explains, “Yes, we shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need.” (尽管如此，“英语并不是婴儿的语言。”Breithaupt解释说，“是的，我们确实会转向简单的语言，但同时我们也会使用我们需要的复杂语言。”)”和“New words that address the complexity of modern life (描述现代生活复杂性的新词)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“描述现代生活复杂性的新词可能会在某种程度上抵消这种转变”，“counter”意为“抵消、平衡”，和Balance out意思相近。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Columbia University linguist John McWhorter questions, however, the overall efficiency of English—a language he says contains things like “needlessly complex” grammatical uses. (然而，哥伦比亚大学的语言学家John McWhorter对英语的整体效率提出了质疑，他说英语包含了一些“不必要的复杂”语法用法。)”可知，在过去，他可能会更多地批评英语语法。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in children’s lives, from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. ___36___ To help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies: Frame AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. ___37___ If they’re working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently. Once they’ve done their best, they can use AI to check their work or get additional insights. This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort. ___38___ Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from. Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me?” or “Is this information proven?” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism. Encourage creativity over convenience. When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool. ___39___ However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style. This approach helps them see AI as a springboard for their creativity, not a substitute for their own ideas. Set boundaries on AI use. Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use. For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. ___40___ These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking. By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than a crutch (依靠), you’ll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking. A. Model responsible AI use. B. Teach them to question the source. C. However, do not use it to complete assignments. D. Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut. E. AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly. F. For example, if they’re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas. G. While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. B 39. F 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述人工智能在孩子生活中普及，为帮孩子合理用AI ，提出将其当伙伴、质疑来源等实用策略。 【36题详解】 由上文“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in children’s lives, from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools.(人工智能（AI）在孩子们的生活中越来越受欢迎，从像 Alexa 这样的语音激活助手到人工智能驱动的作业帮助工具。)”可知，提到了人工智能在孩子生活中很受欢迎，空格处要引出下文关于避免过度依赖人工智能的内容，而G项While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems.(虽然这些技术可能非常有用，但过度依赖会导致问题。) 符合此处语境，先肯定了人工智能的有用性，又指出过度依赖的问题，从而引出下文的策略，有承上启下作用。故选G项。 【37题详解】 由上文“Frame AI as a supportive partner, not a solution.(将人工智能视为一个支持性的伙伴，而不是一个解决方案。)”可知，强调要把人工智能当作伙伴而非解决方案，空格处要进一步说明对孩子的要求，而D项Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut.(鼓励孩子们将人工智能视为一个助手，而不是一条捷径。)符合此处语境，helper对应上文的supportive partner, not a shortcut对应not a solution，进一步阐述了对孩子看待人工智能的态度要求，有承接上文作用。故选D项。 【38题详解】 由下文“Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from. Encourage your child to ask questions like, ‘How did this answer come to me?’ or ‘Is this information proven?’(谨慎使用技术包括对信息来源的好奇心。鼓励你的孩子问这样的问题：‘这个答案是怎么来的？’ 或者 ‘这个信息是经过证实的吗？’)”可知，主要讲的是要让孩子对信息来源提出疑问，而B项Teach them to question the source.(教他们质疑信息来源。)符合此处语境，question the source对应下文的curiosity about where information comes from以及所举的问题，是对下文内容的概括。故选B项。 【39题详解】 由上文“When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool.(当孩子们在进行创意项目时，比如写作或艺术作品，建议他们使用人工智能作为头脑风暴的工具。)”可知，提到了孩子在创意项目中使用人工智能作为头脑风暴工具，空格处要举例说明，而F项For example, if they’re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas.(例如，如果他们正在写一个故事，他们可以向人工智能询问主题想法。)符合此处语境，writing a story对应上文creative projects, such as writing or artwork, ask AI for topic ideas对应use AI as a brainstorming tool，是对上文的举例说明。故选F项。 【40题详解】 由上文“Set boundaries on AI use. Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use. For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research.(对人工智能的使用设定界限。就像你设定屏幕使用时间的限制一样，为人工智能的使用设定界限。例如，决定人工智能可以用于初步研究。)”可知，讲的是对人工智能使用设定界限，空格处要进一步说明界限，而C项However, do not use it to complete assignments.(然而，不要用它来完成作业。)符合此处语境，do not use it to complete assignments是对使用人工智能的一种限制，与上文set boundaries on AI use相呼应，进一步说明了界限。故选C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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Art of Friendship David Andrew, an art teacher, had just moved to California this summer.

People were busy in my home. The living room, transformed into a sort of workshop, was piled with boxes, wrapping paper, and some colorful ribbons (缎带). At the center of it all was my mother, Lee-Ann. Every year, Lee-Ann organized a Christmas charity drive, collecting donations, gifts, and food hampers (食品篮) for families in need within our community. It was a tradition she had started when I was just a toddler, fueled by her belief that everyone deserved to experience the joy and warmth of life, regardless of their circumstances. “But, Mom, do you think we can manage? I mean, it’s amazing what you’re doing, but it’s a lot of work, and...” I asked. She stopped wrapping and looked up at me, her gaze firm yet gentle. “Mark, do you know why I do this every year?” she asked. I shook my head realizing I had never really known her motivations. “Because,” she continued, “giving brings us together. It reminds us that we’re all part of a bigger family. And if we can make even a small difference in someone’s life, then all the effort is worth it.” Moved by her words, I nodded, understanding for the first time the depth of her commitment. The days that followed were a lot of activities. Our family, along with a group of volunteers drawn in by my mother’s infectious enthusiasm, worked tirelessly. We wrapped gifts, packed food hampers, and arranged deliveries. My mother was everywhere at once, encouraging, and spreading cheer. On Christmas Eve, as we loaded the last of the hampers into the van, my mother turned to me and said, “ Ready for the final round?” 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文1： I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” As we made our rounds, delivering hampers and seeing the joy on the faces of those we helped, I felt a profound connection to the community and to my mother’s mission. Each “thank you” and every smile was a reminder of the impact of her work. Later that evening, as we sat around our own Christmas tree, my mother wrapped an arm around me. “Thank you, Mark,” she said. “For being my right-hand man.” “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” She laughed softly. “Maybe, but every superhero needs a team. And I’ve got the best one.” That year, like every year, my mother, Lee-Ann, showed us the true meaning of giving and the power of compassion. She taught us that by coming together to support one another, we could create ripples of kindness that would extend far and wide. I was grateful to her. In my eyes, and in the eyes of our community, she was, and always will be, a superhero. 例文2： I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” With that, we set off on our journey to distribute the gifts and food hampers to the families in need within our community. The air was crisp with the chill of winter, but it did nothing to dampen our spirits. Each family we visited was overwhelmed with gratitude, their eyes lighting up as they received the much-needed supplies. At one stop, after helping a single mother and her children unpack the hamper, my mother placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and said, “You know, you’re a hero today.” “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” My mother’s dedication to this charity drive went beyond mere organization and planning. It was a testament to her belief in the power of giving and the importance of community. As we completed our deliveries and returned home, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for having a mother who taught me the true meaning of Christmas—not just the presents and decorations, but the joy of giving and the warmth of being part of a larger family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者母亲每年组织圣诞慈善活动，为社区中有需要的家庭收集捐款、礼物和食品篮的传统。作者起初对这项工作的艰巨性表示担忧，但在母亲的话语激励下，作者开始理解并投入到这项工作中。在圣诞节前夕，作者与母亲一同完成最后一轮物资派送，深刻体会到了这项工作的意义。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我微笑着，心中充满了自豪感和使命感。”可知，第一段可描写作者和母亲一起进行最后一轮物资派送，看到受助者的笑脸，感受到与社区和母亲使命的深刻联系，以及母亲对作者的感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容““但是妈妈，”我回答，“你才是这里真正的超级英雄。””可知，第二段可描写作者对母亲的赞美，以及母亲对团队合作重要性的认识。 2.续写线索：派送物资——看到笑脸——感谢母亲——赞美母亲——母亲教我们认识到给与和团队合作的重要意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①派送：deliver/distribute/hand out ②拥抱：wrapp an arm around me/hug me /give me a hug ③轻声笑：laugh softly/smile gently/chuckle 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②感激：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we made our rounds, delivering hampers and seeing the joy on the faces of those we helped, I felt a profound connection to the community and to my mother’s mission.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] She taught us that by coming together to support one another, we could create ripples of kindness that would extend far and wide.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
