Harvard University Museum With its striking collection of materials ranging from beautiful glass flowers to Mesoamerican sculptures, remains of animals, and exhibits focused on adventurous archaeological (考古的) digs, the Harvard University Museum is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating museums in the United States. With collections from some archaeological digs in US history, the museum is inviting visitors to explore the mysteries of human culture. Oberlin College Allen Memorial Art Museum The museum was founded in 1917 and is now recognized as one of the top five college and university art museums in the United States. The delicate collection of 19th century paintings, sculptures, and decorative artworks is housed in a striking Italian Renaissance-style building named after 1875 Oberlin College graduate Dr. Dudley Peter Allen. Besides the collection of artworks from ancient times, a gallery for modern and contemporary art was added in 1977. Yale University Peabody Museum The Yale University Peabody Museum is a place that should be visited by all science fans at some point during their lives. Its Incan artifact section is particularly respected, and the museum’s collection of fossils is nearly unheard-of. For visitors with children, the exhibits on dinosaurs will be an amazing experience. Dartmouth College Hood Museum of Art Since the early date of 1772, Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH has been collecting objects. The present collection of 65,000 objects is among the oldest and is larger than that of any other college or university in the United States. More than anything, the Hood Museum of Art is a teaching museum that encourages direct engagement with works of art. With a variety of programs, workshops, and exhibitions, the museum is committed to the development of visual literacy skills. 1. What can be known about Oberlin College Allen Memorial Art Museum? A. It has expanded its exhibition space. B. It was designed by Dr. Dudley Peter Allen. C. It features a building from the Italian Renaissance. D. It holds exhibitions of ancient artworks throughout the year. 2. What do Harvard University Museum and Yale University Peabody Museum have in common? A. They are suitable for different age groups. B. They contain exhibits related to animals. C They display items from archaeological digs. D. They focus on teaching through hands-on workshops. 3. Which of the following institutes houses the largest collection? A. Harvard University. B. Yale University. C. Dartmouth College. D. Oberlin College. B On a cold day recently under stubborn grey skies, a band of green-fingered volunteers can be found in Somerset’s Chew valley with tools in their hands and dirt under their fingernails. About 30 helpers are divided into pairs, carefully planting hawthorn, blackthorn and crab apple saplings, one tree at a time, determined not to be scared away by the scale of the project: they are creating one of the biggest new woodlands in England. The Lower Chew Forest, as it will be known, is a vast new woodland between Bristol and Bath, made up of 100,000 native trees planted by about 1,000 volunteers mobilized by charity Avon Needs Trees. The charity says the 420-acre woodland will increase biodiversity, reduce flooding and lock up carbon to help prevent climate breakdown. But what does it take to make it happen? John Chew, a 66-year-old teacher, is in charge of those who come to plant trees. According to him, the tree-planters, from children to those in their late 80s, mostly arrive from Bristol, Bath and the surrounding villages of the Mendips and Chew valley. “One of the reasons why Avon Needs Trees has become so successful over the last four or five years is that so many people are concerned about climate change, biodiversity loss, things like that,” he says. “The spades do not slip easily into the thick clay soil; planting tree after tree takes some effort. But the volunteers are all thrilled to be here, each for their own unique reasons.” “I read in the media about the climate crisis, and I think for me to be able to mitigate it is to come and actively do something,” says Georgie Duckworth, 41, a writer who lives in the Chew valley. “So being here feels like a positive step.” According to Dave Wood, chief executive of Avo n Needs Trees, the project takes “quite a lot of blood, sweat and tears” to acquire, but is now well on its way. “The people-power side of this has never been a barrier for us,” Wood says. “We have so much community support and help from people.” 4. What is the main function of the description of the scene? A. It shows the difficulty of the tree-planting work. B. It highlights the beautiful scenery of the Chew valley. C. It sets the stage for introducing the tree-planting project. D. It clarifies the tough working conditions of volunteers. 5. What is the main purpose of the Lower Chew Forest project? A. To offer jobs to local people. B. To help deal with environmental issues. C. To develop tourism in the Chew valley. D. To create a new habitat for endangered species. 6. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Distinguish. B. Comprehend. C. Address. D. Postpone. 7. What is Wood’s attitude towards the project’s progress? A. Worried. B. Dismissive. C. Mixed. D. Satisfied. C Being bilingual (双语的) means learning to deal with two different ways of naming and perceiving reality. That requires the bilingual brain to learn to think in both languages and to switch between them effortlessly, a process known as code switching. Some researchers believe this process gives multilingual people an edge. Historically, the scientific community held the belief that second language acquisition could slow down a child’s academic progress. However, contemporary understanding firmly acknowledges the cognitive (认知的) benefits bilingual children possess. Dr Fraser Lauchlan, an honorary lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, noted that faulty research from the 1930s to 1950s, since discredited, had caused the misperception that bilingualism could be harmful to a child’s academic achievements. Subsequent studies, especially the landmark research by Peal and Lambert in 1962, have clearly demonstrated that bilingualism brings no disadvantages and, in fact, offers advantages in specific language and cognitive areas: selective attention, metalinguistic awareness, creative and flexible thinking (including problem-solving), and short-term memory. In a study headed by Lauchlan, involving primary school students from Scotland (learning Gaelic and English concurrently) and Sardinia (exposed to Italian and Sardinian), the cognitive differences between monolingual (单语的) and bilingual children were measured. Of the 121 participants, 62 were bilingual and exhibited superior task-completion capabilities. Notably, Gaelic-speaking children outperformed their Sardinian counterparts. Lauchlan put this down to the former’s formal education in Gaelic, while Sardinian was mostly an oral language lacking standardized form. Ellen Bialystok of York University in Toronto has conducted extensive research, concluding that bilingualism promotes a child’s development. Lauchlan advises that for the best bilingualism, children should start learning a second language alongside their first, or at least as early as possible. Research indicates that bilinguals have an easier time acquiring further languages and display greater cultural receptivity (接受度). Moreover, in the globalized era, bilingualism also offers practical advantages in career prospects. Multinational corporations often seek employees with multilingual abilities to facilitate international business operations. A bilingual marketing professional can better understand and target diverse consumer groups, bridging cultural gaps and enhancing market share. Thus, developing bilingual capabilities from an early age can open doors to a broader range of opportunities in the future. 8. What is a misconception of bilingualism’s impact? A. Bilingualism does harm to children’s creative thinking. B. Bilingualism is of little academic benefit to children. C. Bilingual children tend to develop short-term memory. D. Bilingual children are less likely to achieve success in career. 9. What can we infer from the study led by Lauchlan? A. Bilingual children perform better in all aspects. B. Children from Scotland are more intelligent than those from Sardinia. C. The more languages a child learns, the better their cognitive abilities. D. Formal education in a second language contributes to bilingual children’s better performance. 10. Why is a bilingual marketing professional mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To explain why learning marketing skills is necessary for bilinguals. B. To prove that marketing is the most suitable career for bilinguals. C. To display that bilinguals can get higher salaries in the marketing field. D. To illustrate how bilingualism brings benefits in international business. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. The cognitive and practical advantages of being bilingual. B. The history of bilingual education and its future development. C. The comparison between different bilingual learning methods. D. The challenges children face when learning a second language. D The cartoon interviewer greets you on-screen. He looks a little young to be asking questions about a job — sort of a cartoon version of Harry Potter, with dark hair and glasses. You can choose other interviewers to speak with instead, representing different genders and races with name s like Benjamin, Leslie, and Kristin. Alex, the name given to this AI interviewer, asks about your professional experience, theoretical questions about programming, and then gives out a coding exercise. Alex was developed by microl, a US company that describes itself as an AI recruitment (招聘) engine for engineers. The company’s founder, Ali Ansari, claims that this tool allows companies to “screen candidates in a much more efficient and accurate manner.” Microl splits its model into two formats: Companies can employ the software to interview candidates for specific roles, and rather than picking through a sample size of thousands of applicants, they can screen endless masses of candidates with the AI interviewer. Or candidates can go through the process independently to be added to a marketplace of engineers. More than 100,000 people have gone through microl’s screenings with hopes of being added to its marketplace of engineers, and the company lists a number of tech companies, with Do Not Pay among those having used its system to screen or hire engineers from its marketplace. Zahira Jaser, an associate professor at the University of Sussex Business School, says a lot remains unknown about the impact of AI and its interviewing — including how the tech affects candidates. “In the real world, humans are biased (有偏见的). But there are techniques we can use to overcome this human bias,” Jaser says. “In an algorithm-driven bias, this is likely to be very systematic.” For example, some AI hiring tools are trained on profiles of past successful employees, raising concerns that they will repeat past biased hiring practices. Nowadays, the ultimate decision regarding who secures employment does not rest merely in the hands of these AI tools. However, they are gradually influencing which candidates are granted the opportunity to engage in direct interaction with human interviewers. This shift has the potential to trigger far-reaching, transformative changes in the composition and nature of the workforce as we look ahead. 12. What is the main function of Alex? A. To train candidates for job interviews. B. To improve employees’ work efficiency. C. To assist companies in screening candidates. D. To help candidates improve their programming skills. 13. What is Jaser’s concern about AI interviewing? A. AI prefers candidates with previous experience. B. There will be a lack of human-like interaction in the process. C. AI tends to judge candidates based on the given information. D. Applying AI-interviewing systems will bring along financial challenges. 14. What is the present significance of AI tools in the hiring process? A. They have a greater say than human interviewers. B. They play a role in the initial candidate-selection stage. C. They remove the human bias during the interview. D. They make a perfect match between candidates and companies. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Interviewees React Differently to AI-Interviewing Tools. B. Microl Has Brought New Hope for Potential Engineers. C. AI Interviewers Pose Great Threat to Human-Driven Recruitment. D. AI Interviewers Are Transforming the Engineering Recruitment Landscape. 第二节 (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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s the night before the final exam.

John was staring at the school field through the spotless windows, and in a flash, the events of a few months earlier came vividly back to him. It all began on a seemingly ordinary day when John was engaged in his regular soccer training on the school field. Despite it being three o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was still casting its burning rays upon the players. “The players who will be taking the field for the crucial semi-final soccer match this Friday are...and John,” the soccer coach declared, announcing the eagerly anticipated lineup (阵容). At the sound of his name, John’s face lit up, a wide smile stretching from ear to ear. John performed admirably during the first half of the training, earning numerous words of praise. But then, as he was rushing forward to strike the ball, he suddenly tripped over his own feet and crashed to the ground with a resounding thud. His teammates came over in an instant, only to find that he had sprained his leg badly and twisted his ankle in the process, a potentially season-ending injury. After a quick examination of John’s injury, the coach said, “I am truly sorry, John. Given the extent of your injury, you won’t be able to participate in the match. We need you to focus on getting better,” his voice full of genuine regret. John tried his best to convince the coach that he was fit enough to take part, but the coach remained determined, knowing the importance of John’s long-term health. John made his way to the doctor, who asked him to rest for over a month to allow his leg to heal properly. The days passed and John was forced to watch from the sidelines. With each passing thought of the match he was missing, a profound sense of desperation washed over him. Tim, John’s loyal best friend, who was also an integral part of the soccer team, witnessed John’s depression. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Tim was determined to do something to cheer John up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the final match, John was spotted in the front row of the audience, excited. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CBACB 6—10 CBCBB 11—15 ABABC 16—20 AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘貼在答題卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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2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。 例: How much is the shirt?

About 30 helpers are divided into pairs, carefully planting hawthorn, blackthorn and crab apple saplings, one tree at a time, determined not to be scared away by the scale of the project: they are creating one of the biggest new woodlands in England. The Lower Chew Forest, as it will be known, is a vast new woodland between Bristol and Bath, made up of 100,000 native trees planted by about 1,000 volunteers mobilized by charity Avon Needs Trees. The charity says the 420-acre woodland will increase biodiversity, reduce flooding and lock up carbon to help prevent climate breakdown. But what does it take to make it happen? John Chew, a 66-year-old teacher, is in charge of those who come to plant trees. According to him, the tree-planters, from children to those in their late 80s, mostly arrive from Bristol, Bath and the surrounding villages of the Mendips and Chew valley. “One of the reasons why Avon Needs Trees has become so successful over the last four or five years is that so many people are concerned about climate change, biodiversity loss, things like that,” he says. “The spades do not slip easily into the thick clay soil; planting tree after tree takes some effort. But the volunteers are all thrilled to be here, each for their own unique reasons.” “I read in the media about the climate crisis, and I think for me to be able to mitigate it is to come and actively do something,” says Georgie Duckworth, 41, a writer who lives in the Chew valley. “So being here feels like a positive step.” According to Dave Wood, chief executive of Avo n Needs Trees, the project takes “quite a lot of blood, sweat and tears” to acquire, but is now well on its way. “The people-power side of this has never been a barrier for us,” Wood says. “We have so much community support and help from people.” 4. What is the main function of the description of the scene? A. It shows the difficulty of the tree-planting work. B. It highlights the beautiful scenery of the Chew valley. C. It sets the stage for introducing the tree-planting project. D. It clarifies the tough working conditions of volunteers. 5. What is the main purpose of the Lower Chew Forest project? A. To offer jobs to local people. B. To help deal with environmental issues. C. To develop tourism in the Chew valley. D. To create a new habitat for endangered species. 6. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Distinguish. B. Comprehend. C. Address. D. Postpone. 7. What is Wood’s attitude towards the project’s progress? A. Worried. B. Dismissive. C. Mixed. D. Satisfied. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在萨默塞特的丘谷，一群志愿者正在参与一项大规模的植树项目，旨在增加生物多样性、减少洪水和固定碳以帮助防止气候崩溃。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“On a cold day recently under stubborn grey skies, a band of green-fingered volunteers can be found in Somerset’s Chew valley with tools in their hands and dirt under their fingernails.

That requires the bilingual brain to learn to think in both languages and to switch between them effortlessly, a process known as code switching. Some researchers believe this process gives multilingual people an edge. Historically, the scientific community held the belief that second language acquisition could slow down a child’s academic progress. However, contemporary understanding firmly acknowledges the cognitive (认知) benefits bilingual children possess. Dr Fraser Lauchlan, an honorary lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, noted that faulty research from the 1930s to 1950s, since discredited, had caused the misperception that bilingualism could be harmful to a child’s academic achievements. Subsequent studies, especially the landmark research by Peal and Lambert in 1962, have clearly demonstrated that bilingualism brings no disadvantages and, in fact, offers advantages in specific language and cognitive areas: selective attention, metalinguistic awareness, creative and flexible thinking (including problem-solving), and short-term memory. In a study headed by Lauchlan, involving primary school students from Scotland (learning Gaelic and English concurrently) and Sardinia (exposed to Italian and Sardinian), the cognitive differences between monolingual (单语的) and bilingual children were measured. Of the 121 participants, 62 were bilingual and exhibited superior task-completion capabilities. Notably, Gaelic-speaking children outperformed their Sardinian counterparts. Lauchlan put this down to the former’s formal education in Gaelic, while Sardinian was mostly an oral language lacking standardized form. Ellen Bialystok of York University in Toronto has conducted extensive research, concluding that bilingualism promotes a child’s development. Lauchlan advises that for the best bilingualism, children should start learning a second language alongside their first, or at least as early as possible. Research indicates that bilinguals have an easier time acquiring further languages and display greater cultural receptivity (接受度). Moreover, in the globalized era, bilingualism also offers practical advantages in career prospects. Multinational corporations often seek employees with multilingual abilities to facilitate international business operations. A bilingual marketing professional can better understand and target diverse consumer groups, bridging cultural gaps and enhancing market share. Thus, developing bilingual capabilities from an early age can open doors to a broader range of opportunities in the future. 8. What is a misconception of bilingualism’s impact? A. Bilingualism does harm to children’s creative thinking. B. Bilingualism is of little academic benefit to children. C. Bilingual children tend to develop short-term memory. D. Bilingual children are less likely to achieve success in career. 9. What can we infer from the study led by Lauchlan? A. Bilingual children perform better in all aspects. B. Children from Scotland are more intelligent than those from Sardinia. C. The more languages a child learns, the better their cognitive abilities. D. Formal education in a second language contributes to bilingual children’s better performance. 10. Why is a bilingual marketing professional mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To explain why learning marketing skills is necessary for bilinguals. B. To prove that marketing is the most suitable career for bilinguals. C. To display that bilinguals can get higher salaries in the marketing field. D. To illustrate how bilingualism brings benefits in international business. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. The cognitive and practical advantages of being bilingual. B. The history of bilingual education and its future development. C. The comparison between different bilingual learning methods. D. The challenges children face when learning a second language. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了关于双语的研究以及研究发现第二语言的正规教育有助于双语儿童更好的表现，促进儿童的发展，并且双语能力可以在国际商务中带来好处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr Fraser Lauchlan, an honorary lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, noted that faulty research from the 1930s to 1950s, since discredited, had caused the misperception that bilingualism could be harmful to a child’s academic achievements.(斯特拉斯克莱德大学名誉讲师弗雷泽·劳克伦博士指出，20世纪30年代至50年代的错误研究，自从被怀疑以来，导致了双语可能对孩子的学业成绩有害的误解)”可知，对双语影响的误解是双语对孩子的学习没有什么好处。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Notably, Gaelic-speaking children outperformed their Sardinian counterparts. Lauchlan put this down to the former’s formal education in Gaelic, while Sardinian was mostly an oral language lacking standardized form.(值得注意的是，说盖尔语的孩子比撒丁语的孩子表现更好。劳克伦把这归因于前者接受的是盖尔语的正规教育，而撒丁语主要是一种缺乏标准化形式的口头语言)”可知，第二语言的正规教育有助于双语儿童更好的表现。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Moreover, in the globalized era, bilingualism also offers practical advantages in career prospects.

Some researchers believe this process gives multilingual people an edge.(双语意味着学习处理两种不同的命名和感知现实的方式。这就要求双语大脑学会用两种语言思考，并在两种语言之间毫不费力地转换，这个过程被称为代码转换。一些研究人员认为，这一过程让懂多种语言的人更有优势)”结合文章主要说明了关于双语的研究以及研究发现第二语言的正规教育有助于双语儿童更好的表现，促进儿童的发展，并且双语能力可以在国际商务中带来好处。可知，这篇文章的主旨是掌握双语的认知和实践优势。故选A。 D The cartoon interviewer greets you on-screen. He looks a little young to be asking questions about a job — sort of a cartoon version of Harry Potter, with dark hair and glasses. You can choose other interviewers to speak with instead, representing different genders and races with name s like Benjamin, Leslie, and Kristin. Alex, the name given to this AI interviewer, asks about your professional experience, theoretical questions about programming, and then gives out a coding exercise. Alex was developed by microl, a US company that describes itself as an AI recruitment (招聘) engine for engineers. The company’s founder, Ali Ansari, claims that this tool allows companies to “screen candidates in a much more efficient and accurate manner.” Microl splits its model into two formats: Companies can employ the software to interview candidates for specific roles, and rather than picking through a sample size of thousands of applicants, they can screen endless masses of candidates with the AI interviewer. Or candidates can go through the process independently to be added to a marketplace of engineers. More than 100,000 people have gone through microl’s screenings with hopes of being added to its marketplace of engineers, and the company lists a number of tech companies, with Do Not Pay among those having used its system to screen or hire engineers from its marketplace. Zahira Jaser, an associate professor at the University of Sussex Business School, says a lot remains unknown about the impact of AI and its interviewing — including how the tech affects candidates. “In the real world, humans are biased (有偏见的). But there are techniques we can use to overcome this human bias,” Jaser says. “In an algorithm-driven bias, this is likely to be very systematic.” For example, some AI hiring tools are trained on profiles of past successful employees, raising concerns that they will repeat past biased hiring practices. Nowadays, the ultimate decision regarding who secures employment does not rest merely in the hands of these AI tools. However, they are gradually influencing which candidates are granted the opportunity to engage in direct interaction with human interviewers. This shift has the potential to trigger far-reaching, transformative changes in the composition and nature of the workforce as we look ahead. 12. What is the main function of Alex? A. To train candidates for job interviews. B. To improve employees’ work efficiency. C. To assist companies in screening candidates. D. To help candidates improve their programming skills. 13. What is Jaser’s concern about AI interviewing? A. AI prefers candidates with previous experience. B. There will be a lack of human-like interaction in the process. C. AI tends to judge candidates based on the given information. D. Applying AI-interviewing systems will bring along financial challenges. 14. What is the present significance of AI tools in the hiring process? A. They have a greater say than human interviewers. B. They play a role in the initial candidate-selection stage. C. They remove the human bias during the interview. D. They make a perfect match between candidates and companies. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Interviewees React Differently to AI-Interviewing Tools. B. Microl Has Brought New Hope for Potential Engineers. C. AI Interviewers Pose Great Threat to Human-Driven Recruitment. D. AI Interviewers Are Transforming the Engineering Recruitment Landscape. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI面试官在工程师招聘领域的应用及其影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Alex was developed by microl, a US company that describes itself as an AI recruitment engine for engineers. The company’s founder, Ali Ansari, claims that this tool allows companies to ‘screen candidates in a much more efficient and accurate manner’.(Alex是由microl开发的，microl是一家美国公司，自称是工程师的AI招聘引擎。该公司的创始人Ali Ansari声称，这个工具可以让公司以更高效、更准确的方式筛选候选人。)”可知，Alex的主要功能是帮助公司筛选候选人。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Zahira Jaser, an associate professor at the University of Sussex Business School, says a lot remains unknown about the impact of AI and its interviewing — including how the tech affects candidates. ‘In the real world, humans are biased. But there are techniques we can use to overcome this human bias,’ Jaser says. ‘In an algorithm-driven bias, this is likely to be very systematic.’ For example, some AI hiring tools are trained on profiles of past successful employees, raising concerns that they will repeat past biased hiring practices.(萨塞克斯商学院副教授Zahira Jaser表示，关于人工智能及其面试的影响，还有很多未知之处——包括这项技术如何影响候选人。Jaser说：‘在现实世界中，人类是有偏见的。但我们可以使用一些技术来克服这种人类偏见。在算法驱动的偏见中，这很可能是非常系统的。’例如，一些人工智能招聘工具是根据过去成功员工的资料进行培训的，这引发了人们对其会重复过去有偏见的招聘做法的担忧。)”可知，Jaser担心AI面试工具会根据过去成功员工的资料进行系统性地判断，即倾向于根据给定信息判断候选人。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Nowadays, the ultimate decision regarding who secures employment does not rest merely in the hands of these AI tools. However, they are gradually influencing which candidates are granted the opportunity to engage in direct interaction with human interviewers.(如今，关于谁能获得工作的最终决定并不仅仅掌握在这些AI工具手中。然而，它们正在逐渐影响哪些候选人有机会与人类面试官进行直接互动。)”可知，AI工具在招聘过程中的初步候选人选择阶段发挥着作用，它们影响着哪些候选人能进入下一阶段与人类面试官互动。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了AI面试官在工程师招聘领域的应用及其影响，包括其如何帮助公司筛选候选人、对候选人的影响以及其在招聘过程中的意义等，由此可知，D选项“AI面试官正在改变工程招聘领域”最能概括文章主旨，作为标题最合适。故选D。 第二节 (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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s the night before the final exam.

John was staring at the school field through the spotless windows, and in a flash, the events of a few months earlier came vividly back to him. It all began on a seemingly ordinary day when John was engaged in his regular soccer training on the school field. Despite it being three o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was still casting its burning rays upon the players. “The players who will be taking the field for the crucial semi-final soccer match this Friday are...and John,” the soccer coach declared, announcing the eagerly anticipated lineup (阵容). At the sound of his name, John’s face lit up, a wide smile stretching from ear to ear. John performed admirably during the first half of the training, earning numerous words of praise. But then, as he was rushing forward to strike the ball, he suddenly tripped over his own feet and crashed to the ground with a resounding thud. His teammates came over in an instant, only to find that he had sprained his leg badly and twisted his ankle in the process, a potentially season-ending injury. After a quick examination of John’s injury, the coach said, “I am truly sorry, John. Given the extent of your injury, you won’t be able to participate in the match. We need you to focus on getting better,” his voice full of genuine regret. John tried his best to convince the coach that he was fit enough to take part, but the coach remained determined, knowing the importance of John’s long-term health. John made his way to the doctor, who asked him to rest for over a month to allow his leg to heal properly. The days passed and John was forced to watch from the sidelines. With each passing thought of the match he was missing, a profound sense of desperation washed over him. Tim, John’s loyal best friend, who was also an integral part of the soccer team, witnessed John’s depression. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Tim was determined to do something to cheer John up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the final match, John was spotted in the front row of the audience, excited. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tim was determined to do something to cheer John up. He knew that John was not only missing out on the soccer match but also feeling left behind and useless. Every day after school, Tim would go to John’s house with DVDs of famous soccer matches. They would watch the games and talk about the brilliant moves and strategies of the players. Thanks to Tim, John gradually emerged from the depths of his gloom. Meanwhile, the soccer team managed to secure a hard-fought victory in the semi-finals and advanced to the highly anticipated finals. John decided he would be the biggest cheerleader for his team. On the day of the final match, John was spotted in the front row of the audience, excited. His eyes were glued to the field, his body tense with anticipation. As the game unfolded, he screamed at top volume, urging his team on. When they scored the winning goal, the stadium erupted. Tears of joy streamed down John’s face. In that moment, he grasped that friendship and support were as crucial as playing. He vowed to always be there for his team, win or lose, because the real victory lay in unity and loyalty. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了约翰在学校足球队中的重要地位以及他因伤无法参加关键半决赛的经历。起初，约翰在足球训练中表现出色，并被选中参加即将到来的半决赛阵容，他对此感到非常兴奋。然而，在训练中，约翰不幸受伤，导致他严重扭伤腿部和脚踝，这可能让他整个赛季都无法出场。教练出于对他长期健康的考虑，决定不让他参加比赛。随后，约翰被迫休息一个多月以让腿部恢复，他只能眼睁睁地看着比赛从身边溜走，内心充满了绝望。他的好友蒂姆见证了约翰的沮丧情绪。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“蒂姆决心要做点什么来让约翰振作起来。”可知，第一段可描写蒂姆为了帮助约翰振作起来所做的努力以及产生的效果。 ②由第二段首句内容“决赛当天，约翰出现在观众席的第一排，兴奋不已。”可知，第二段可描写约翰为球队加油助威的经过以及他的感悟。 2.续写线索：理解约翰——帮助约翰走出沮丧——决定成为拉拉队员——为球队加油——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①谈论：talk about/speak about ②成功做某事：manage to do sth/succeed in doing sth ③决定做某事：decide/determine ④领会：grasp/understand 情绪类 ①忧郁：gloom/depression ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] He knew that John was not only missing out on the soccer match but also feeling left behind and useless.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] He vowed to always be there for his team, win or lose, because the real victory lay in unity and loyalty.（运用了because引导原因状语从句） 1—5 CBACB 6—10 CBCBB 11—15 ABABC 16—20 AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
