Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger” in the German forestry community. After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking: damaged trees need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles (甲虫), which breed in dead trees and can go on to destroy entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground. His most recent project is combining body camera footage with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they’re cut down, and you have no idea how much timber you’ll end up with-how many cubic meters, what quality, which tree species,” he explains. Now AI, “looking” through his body camera, automatically recognizes the tree species he has marked and estimates the amount of timber it will produce, sending the information to his phone in real time. Roth’s experience in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after-colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on digitalization in forestry at the Rottenburg University of Applied Forest Sciences. But he warns that technology can never replace a walk through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.” 4. What effect has climate change on Martin Roth’s work? A. It made his job focus on long-lasting forest continuity. B. It reduced the importance of traditional forestry skills. C. It required him to abandon technology-based methods. D. It shifted his role toward managing unexpected disasters. 5 How do drones help Roth after a disastrous storm? A. Kill bark beetles quickly. B. Assess forest damage efficiently. C. Predict the future climate change. D. Replace the work of ground workers. 6. What does Roth imply by mentioning “reality check” in the last paragraph? A. Digital tools must be tested in extreme weather. B. AI’s calculations are often unsafe and unreliable. C. Technology will soon make forest rangers unnecessary. D. Virtual models cannot fully replace on-site inspections. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To describe the life story of a German forest ranger. B. To warn about the dangers of climate change to forests. C. To introduce how technology transforms modern forestry. D. To criticize the overuse of drones in environmental protection. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是护林员Martin Roth如何利用高科技手段应对现代林业面临的挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger” in the German forestry community.(现在，随着气候变化，更多的是关于为不确定的未来做计划。“它已经变成了灾难管理，”Roth说，对他来说，德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的3000英亩森林是高科技解决方案的试验场，在德国林业界，他赢得了“数字护林员”的绰号)”可知，气候变化使Martin Roth的工作转向了管理意外灾难。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground.(过去，罗斯需要两个半小时才能步行覆盖一英亩的森林，而现在，无人机可以让他在几天内调查整个3000英亩的森林，这样他就可以快速定位受损的树木，识别并通知受影响地块的所有者，并将信息发送给地面工作人员)”可知，无人机可以有效评估森林损害。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“But he warns that technology can never replace a walk through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality.(但他警告称，技术永远无法替代漫步森林的体验：“我绝不认为数字孪生就是现实。”)”可知，Roth认为技术永远无法替代漫步森林的体验，不认为数字孪生就是现实，所以他需要现实检查，所以reality check意为“虚拟模型不能完全取代现场检查”。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Martin Roth began his career as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger” in the German forestry community.(当Martin Roth在20世纪80年代开始他的护林员职业生涯时，他的工作就是以一种能够确保森林在几十年甚至几个世纪内保持连续性的方式来照顾森林。现在，随着气候变化，更多的是关于为不确定的未来做计划。“它已经变成了灾难管理，”Roth说，对他来说，德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的3000英亩森林是高科技解决方案的试验场，在德国林业界，他赢得了“数字护林员”的绰号)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了护林员Martin Roth如何利用高科技手段应对现代林业面临的挑战，所以本文目的是介绍科技如何改变现代林业。故选C项。 C The mental pain of failure can stimulate you to become better at the activity in which you lack proficiency-if you can consider the unpleasant experience as an indicator of personal growth. This is what researchers found when they conducted a field experiment at an improvisation (即兴表演) club. One group of amateur improvisers was instructed to actively seek the feeling of awkwardness. The scholars found that, compared with improvisers who were not given this instruction, the first group was more engaged in the exercise. Instead of seeing the discomfort as something to avoid, they saw it as central to the process and leaned into it. This has effects on how to improve ordinary life. You can put failure to good use in many other areas of life. If you’re a student, take a class far outside your area of skills and interests, knowing that the struggle to cope with a very novel challenge may improve studying what you do like. Enjoy the difficulty of it and analyze the mistakes you make—and you will almost certainly find that you're doing even better at your preferred subject. Employers can apply these principles as well. I like the “75/25 rule,” according to which employees spend three-quarters of their time on their assigned task and one quarter helping others outside their area. The short-term cost of this is friction as people struggle with novelty and difficulty-and bosses should take care not to make this worse by being punitive or overly critical. But I have seen the long-term benefit of better motivation in the core assignment, as well as a better flow of information and distribution of new skills across different activities within an enterprise. The embrace-failure principle can even be applied to happiness itself. None of us wants to be unhappy. But inviting sources of unhappiness into life can be extremely beneficial. Resolve not to be afraid of fear, anger, or sadness. They are normal and natural parts of life, after all. And if you let them, they will help you savor (享受) the joys of life all the more. 8 What did the experiment at the improvisation club find? A. Avoiding awkwardness improved improvisers’ creativity. B. Actively embracing awkwardness increased engagement. C. Professional improvisers performed better than amateurs. D. Discomfort negatively impacted participants’ motivation. 9. Why does the author advise students to take unfamiliar classes? A. To reduce their academic pressure. B. To increase their studying interests. C. To avoid errors in their preferred field. D. To indirectly strengthen their major subjects. 10. What is the long-term effect of the “75/25 rule”? A. Employees are more motivated and multi-skilled. B. Competitions among colleagues get more intense. C. New and difficult assignments become effortless. D. Conflicts in workplace disappear completely. 11. Which is the best title of the text? A. The Different Ways to Avoid Failure. B. The Advice on How to Seek Happiness. C. The Benefits of Doing Things You’re Bad at. D. The Reasons Why You’re in Negative Moods. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。主要讨论了失败的心理痛苦如何能够激励个人在缺乏熟练度的活动中变得更好，并提出了如何应用这一原则来改善日常生活、工作场所乃至追求幸福。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The mental pain of failure can stimulate you to become better at the activity in which you lack proficiency-if you can consider the unpleasant experience as an indicator of personal growth. This is what researchers found when they conducted a field experiment at an improvisation (即兴表演) club. One group of amateur improvisers was instructed to actively seek the feeling of awkwardness. The scholars found that, compared with improvisers who were not given this instruction, the first group was more engaged in the exercise. Instead of seeing the discomfort as something to avoid, they saw it as central to the process and leaned into it.(如果你能把不愉快的经历视为个人成长的一个指标，那么失败带来的精神痛苦可以刺激你在你不熟练的活动中变得更好。这是研究人员在一个即兴表演俱乐部进行现场实验时发现的。一组业余即兴表演者被要求积极寻找尴尬的感觉。学者们发现，与没有得到这种指导的即兴表演者相比，第一组人更投入到练习中。他们没有把不舒服看作是要避免的事情，而是把它看作是过程的核心，并倾向于它)”可知，即兴表演俱乐部的实验发现了积极地接受尴尬会增加参与度。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“If you’re a student, take a class far outside your area of skills and interests, knowing that the struggle to cope with a very novel challenge may improve studying what you do like. Enjoy the difficulty of it and analyze the mistakes you make—and you will almost certainly find that you're doing even better at your preferred subject.(如果你是一名学生，参加一门与你的技能和兴趣领域相去甚远的课程，要知道努力应对一个非常新奇的挑战可能会促进你学习自己喜欢的东西。享受它的难度，分析你犯的错误——你几乎肯定会发现你在你喜欢的科目上做得更好)”可知，作者建议学生选修不熟悉的课程，因为可以间接加强他们的主要科目。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I like the “75/25 rule,” according to which employees spend three-quarters of their time on their assigned task and one quarter helping others outside their area. The short-term cost of this is friction as people struggle with novelty and difficulty-and bosses should take care not to make this worse by being punitive or overly critical. But I have seen the long-term benefit of better motivation in the core assignment, as well as a better flow of information and distribution of new skills across different activities within an enterprise.(我喜欢“75/25规则”，根据该规则，员工将四分之三的时间花在分配给他们的任务上，四分之一的时间用来帮助他们领域之外的其他人。这样做的短期成本是摩擦，因为人们在与新鲜事物和困难作斗争——老板们应该小心，不要因为惩罚或过度批评而使情况变得更糟。但是，我已经看到了在核心任务中更好的激励，以及在企业内不同活动中更好的信息流和新技能分配的长期好处)”可知，“75/25规则”的长期影响是员工更有动力，技能也更丰富。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The embrace-failure principle can even be applied to happiness itself. None of us wants to be unhappy. But inviting sources of unhappiness into life can be extremely beneficial. Resolve not to be afraid of fear, anger, or sadness. They are normal and natural parts of life, after all. And if you let them, they will help you savor (享受) the joys of life all the more.(拥抱失败的原则甚至可以应用于幸福本身。没有人想要不快乐。但是把不快乐的来源引入生活是非常有益的。下定决心不要害怕恐惧、愤怒或悲伤。毕竟，它们是生活中正常而自然的一部分。如果你让他们这样做，他们会帮助你更好地享受生活的乐趣)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了失败的心理痛苦如何能够激励个人在缺乏熟练度的活动中变得更好，所以C项“做你不擅长的事情的好处”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 D From an airplane, cars moving slowly down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the suffering of stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative tactics (战术) to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up. The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the number of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes (刹车) can cause a persistent wave of congestion. “It’s a kind of phase transition,” like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, says Nishinari, a physicist at the University of Tokyo. Nishinari’s previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even in large numbers. So what’s their secret? In a recent study, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another-and they don’t speed up to pass others. Human drivers at rush hour are hard to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says Nicola, who studies sustainable engineering at the University of Trento in Italy. “But self-driving cars, if they one day become everywhere, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow-perhaps, by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road,” Nicola suggests. Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: don’t tailgate. By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified (放大) into a traffic jam with no obvious cause. “Just keeping away,” he says, “can help traffic flow smoothly.” 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of causing a jam. B. The bad effects of jams on our life. C. The difficulty of avoiding a jam. D. The suffering of being stuck in a jam. 13. What is the ants’ key to avoiding traffic jams? A. Traveling in large groups. B. Keeping steady speed and spacing. C. Following a central leader. D. Frequently walk over one another. 14 What does Nicola suggest in Paragraph 4? A. Provide more speed choices for drivers. B. Build special roads for self-driving cars. C. Set stricter rules to regulate drivers’ behaviors. D. Apply ants’ cooperative strategies to self-driving cars. 15. What does the underlined word “tailgate” mean in the last paragraph? A. Park illegally. B. Speed up suddenly. C. Drive too closely. D. Ignore traffic signals. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了研究人员如何通过研究蚂蚁的合作行为，来寻找解决交通拥堵问题的方法，并探讨了这些发现如何应用于未来的自动驾驶汽车编程中。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the number of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes (刹车) can cause a persistent wave of congestion. “It’s a kind of phase transition,” like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, says Nishinari, a physicist at the University of Tokyo.(随着高速公路上汽车数量的增加，交通的自由流动变得不稳定。在每条车道每英里15辆车的速度下，一个司机轻踩刹车就会造成持续的拥堵。“这是一种相变”，就像水从液体变成固体一样，东京大学的物理学家西成说)”可知，本段主要讲述了造成堵塞的原理。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a recent study, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another-and they don’t speed up to pass others.(在最近的一项研究中，研究人员记录了小路上的蚂蚁，并使用交通工程模型来分析它们的运动。他们发现蚂蚁不会堵塞，因为它们以3到20只蚂蚁为一组，以几乎恒定的速度移动，同时彼此保持良好的距离，它们不会加速超过其他蚂蚁)”可知，蚂蚁避开交通堵塞的关键是保持稳定的速度和间距。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says Nicola, who studies sustainable engineering at the University of Trento in Italy. “But self-driving cars, if they one day become everywhere, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow-perhaps, by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road,” Nicola suggests.(“我们是在最大化个人利益，这就是为什么在某一时刻，你会开始遭遇交通堵塞，”在意大利特伦托大学研究可持续工程的Nicola说道。“但是，如果自动驾驶汽车有一天能无处不在，它们可能会采用更具合作性的编程。在这种未来愿景中，自动驾驶车辆会与附近的车辆共享信息，以充分利用交通流量——或许是通过优先考虑保持恒定速度和车距，或者不在道路上超车，”Nicola建议道)”可知，Nicola建议将蚂蚁的合作策略应用于自动驾驶汽车。故选D项。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified (放大) into a traffic jam with no obvious cause.(通过在自己的车和前面的车之间留出空间，司机可以在交通拥挤的情况下吸收一波刹车，否则这种刹车会在没有明显原因的情况下被放大成交通堵塞)”可知，需要在自己的车和前面的车之间留出空间，是为了防止追尾，推知tailgate应是“追尾”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 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。 Anyone with an internet connection can watch breaking news, or at least some version of it. Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context. ____16____ How do you know what to trust and what not to share? Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online. ____17____ Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. Of course, not all misinformation is serious. Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people, so be as skeptical of silly stories as serious ones. Slow down while reading or watching. Social media is built for things to go viral, for users to quickly share before they are even done reading the words. No matter how shocking, enlightening or annoying a TikTok or YouTube video is, you must wait before passing it on to your network. ____18____ That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate. So assume everything is suspect until you confirm its authenticity (真实性). Don’t use AI to get news. Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news. ____19____ They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility. Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers (免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information. ____20____ A. Know why misinformation exists. B. News outlets may seem slower than social media. C. Question why you want to share it in the first place. D. Do not rely on these features for accurate information. E. Do a Google search for the person or organization’s name. F. So going directly to news sources will ensure you get more accurate information. G. The rapid spread of easily accessible AI tools is mudding the waters even further. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了我们如何在网上辨别新闻的真伪。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context.(在社交媒体上，发布的帖子可以比大多数事实核查人员所能处理的要快，而且它们通常是真实、虚假和上下文脱节的不可预测的混合体)”可知，在社交媒体上，信息传播非常快，真假难辨，G项“The rapid spread of easily accessible AI tools is mudding the waters even further.(轻松获取的人工智能工具的快速普及，正在进一步搅浑浑水)”提到AI工具的快速传播加剧了这一问题，与下文“How do you know what to trust and what not to share?(你怎么知道什么值得信任，什么不值得分享)”讲“如何判断信任与分享”形成逻辑衔接，符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. (想想在新闻活动中传播混乱信息谁能受益。例如，在选举期间，要注意可能有利于一个政党或候选人的相互矛盾的信息和毫无根据的指控)”和“Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people(有些只是为了好玩或恶作剧而创作的)”可知，第二段讨论错误信息的传播动机（如选举中的政治利益），A项“Know why misinformation exists.(知道错误信息的存在的原因)”概括了本段内容，适合作本段小标题。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据下文“That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate.(那是因为它们要等到信息被确认和准确)”可知，新闻媒体会比社交媒体谨慎，B项“News outlets may seem slower than social media.(新闻媒体可能比社交媒体慢)”与下文形成因果关系，符合语境，下文they指代选项中News outlets。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news.(科技公司正在推动他们的语音助手和人工智能聊天工具，作为获取最新新闻的一种方式)”可知，科技公司在推动他们的语音助手和人工智能聊天工具，再结合下文“They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility.(它们可能是不正确的、过时的，或者只是从几乎没有可信度或可见性的来源复制单词)”指出AI工具可能提供错误或过时信息，D项“Do not rely on these features for accurate information.(不要依赖这些功能来获取准确的信息)”直接否定AI的可靠性，与下文警告呼应，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers (免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information.(一些聊天机器人甚至开始在突发新闻事件中添加免责声明，建议读者在其他地方寻找新信息)”可知，建议读者在其他地方寻找新信息，F项“So going directly to news sources will ensure you get more accurate information.(因此，直接去新闻来源将确保你获得更准确的信息)”自然承接此建议，总结应对策略，符合语境。故选F。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At 40, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’re not very ___21___,” my husband reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly ____22____ myself the one time I tried to lift my leg in an attempt to stretch. I could feel how I didn’t look like promising ballerina (芭蕾舞演员) material.

(省略that的宾语从句) 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 One sunny afternoon, Jamie and his friend Ethan gathered at their favorite spot, the old oak tree in the park. As they sat together, exchanging plans for the coming weekend, Jamie felt a familiar knot of anxiety forming in his stomach. This was the day he had to present his science project, and the thought of speaking in front of everyone made his palms sweat. “What’s wrong, Jamie?” Ethan asked, noticing the change in his friend’s behavior. “I... I have to present my project about renewable energy tomorrow, and I’m really nervous. I don’t think I can explain it well. What if they laugh at me?” Jamie admitted. Ethan leaned in closer, “Listen, Jamie, everyone gets nervous. But if you believe in what you’re saying, others will too. Just think of it as telling a story.” Jamie sighed, considering his friend’s words, but the fear of failure still overwhelmed him. That evening, Jamie sat at his desk, on which lay the papers and diagrams of his project. He had spent weeks researching solar panels, wind turbines (风力涡轮机), and the importance of conserving energy. Yet, despite his hard work, the doubts crept back in like shadows in the night. “What if I forget everything? What if I trip over my words?” he murmured (低语) to himself. His mother, hearing his murmurs from the hallway, comforted him with a warm smile, “Jamie, remember, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about sharing what you’ve learned. You’re passionate about this topic, and that passion will shine through.” As Jamie lay in bed that night, he thought about his mother’s words. Slowly, the knot in his stomach began to loosen, replaced by a flicker of determination. The next morning, after a quick breakfast, he grabbed his project materials and headed to school. As the bell rang, one by one, students presented their projects. Jamie’s heart raced as he watched his classmates speak confidently, their voices steady and strong. 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。 Finally, it was Jamie’s turn. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the presentations, Jamie’s classmates came over to congratulate him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, it was Jamie’s turn. He stood up, trembling slightly, but took a deep breath as Ethan’s advice echoed in his mind: “Think of it as telling a story.” Gripping his notes, Jamie began explaining solar panels, his voice shaky at first. Gradually, he focused on the diagrams he had worked so hard on. To his surprise, his classmates leaned forward, listening intently. When he mentioned wind turbines, he even gestured like spinning blades, drawing smiles. By the end, his voice grew steadier, and applause erupted. Relief washed over him — he had done it! After the presentations, Jamie’s classmates came over to congratulate him. “Your passion really showed!” one exclaimed. Even the teacher praised his clear explanations. Ethan patted his shoulder, grinning, “See? They loved your story!” Jamie beamed, realizing his fear had faded once he shared his knowledge. That night, he felt proud — not because he was perfect, but because he had dared to try. The old oak tree seemed to whisper approval as he walked home, lighter than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jamie是一个对公开演讲感到焦虑的男孩，尽管他认真准备了关于可再生能源的科学项目，但一想到要在全班面前展示就紧张不已。他的朋友Ethan试图鼓励他，母亲也安慰他“重在分享而非完美”，但Jamie仍被自我怀疑困扰。直到演讲当天，目睹同学们自信的表现，他的内心从恐惧逐渐转向面对挑战的决心。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，轮到Jamie了。”可知，第一段可描写Jamie演讲从紧张到放松的过程，并最终获得成功。 ②由第二段首句内容“演讲结束后，Jamie的同学们都过来祝贺他。”可知，第二段可描写Jamie的同学和老师对他的赞扬，以及自己的感悟。 2. 续写线索：开始展示——感到紧张——克服紧张——成功展示——获得赞扬——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/inhaled deeply ②专注于：focus on→concentrate on ③大喊： exclaim/shout out 情绪类 ①轻松：relief/comfort ②恐惧：fear/fright 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he mentioned wind turbines, he even gestured like spinning blades, drawing smiles.(when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]That night, he felt proud — not because he was perfect, but because he had dared to try.(because引导的原因状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年常德市高三年级模拟考试 英语 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

B When Martin Roth began his career as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger” in the German forestry community. After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking: damaged trees need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles (甲虫), which breed in dead trees and can go on to destroy entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground. His most recent project is combining body camera footage with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they’re cut down, and you have no idea how much timber you’ll end up with-how many cubic meters, what quality, which tree species,” he explains. Now AI, “looking” through his body camera, automatically recognizes the tree species he has marked and estimates the amount of timber it will produce, sending the information to his phone in real time. Roth’s experience in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after-colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on digitalization in forestry at the Rottenburg University of Applied Forest Sciences. But he warns that technology can never replace a walk through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.” 4. What effect has climate change on Martin Roth’s work? A. It made his job focus on long-lasting forest continuity. B. It reduced the importance of traditional forestry skills. C. It required him to abandon technology-based methods. D. It shifted his role toward managing unexpected disasters. 5. How do drones help Roth after a disastrous storm? A. Kill bark beetles quickly. B. Assess forest damage efficiently. C. Predict the future climate change. D. Replace the work of ground workers. 6. What does Roth imply by mentioning “reality check” in the last paragraph? A. Digital tools must be tested in extreme weather. B. AI’s calculations are often unsafe and unreliable. C. Technology will soon make forest rangers unnecessary. D. Virtual models cannot fully replace on-site inspections. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To describe the life story of a German forest ranger. B. To warn about the dangers of climate change to forests. C. To introduce how technology transforms modern forestry. D. To criticize the overuse of drones in environmental protection. C The mental pain of failure can stimulate you to become better at the activity in which you lack proficiency-if you can consider the unpleasant experience as an indicator of personal growth. This is what researchers found when they conducted a field experiment at an improvisation (即兴表演) club. One group of amateur improvisers was instructed to actively seek the feeling of awkwardness. The scholars found that, compared with improvisers who were not given this instruction, the first group was more engaged in the exercise. Instead of seeing the discomfort as something to avoid, they saw it as central to the process and leaned into it. This has effects on how to improve ordinary life. You can put failure to good use in many other areas of life. If you’re a student, take a class far outside your area of skills and interests, knowing that the struggle to cope with a very novel challenge may improve studying what you do like. Enjoy the difficulty of it and analyze the mistakes you make—and you will almost certainly find that you're doing even better at your preferred subject. Employers can apply these principles as well. I like the “75/25 rule,” according to which employees spend three-quarters of their time on their assigned task and one quarter helping others outside their area. The short-term cost of this is friction as people struggle with novelty and difficulty-and bosses should take care not to make this worse by being punitive or overly critical. But I have seen the long-term benefit of better motivation in the core assignment, as well as a better flow of information and distribution of new skills across different activities within an enterprise. The embrace-failure principle can even be applied to happiness itself. None of us wants to be unhappy. But inviting sources of unhappiness into life can be extremely beneficial. Resolve not to be afraid of fear, anger, or sadness. They are normal and natural parts of life, after all. And if you let them, they will help you savor (享受) the joys of life all the more. 8. What did the experiment at the improvisation club find? A. Avoiding awkwardness improved improvisers’ creativity. B. Actively embracing awkwardness increased engagement. C. Professional improvisers performed better than amateurs. D. Discomfort negatively impacted participants’ motivation. 9 Why does the author advise students to take unfamiliar classes? A. To reduce their academic pressure. B. To increase their studying interests. C. To avoid errors in their preferred field. D. To indirectly strengthen their major subjects. 10.

D From an airplane, cars moving slowly down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the suffering of stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative tactics (战术) to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up. The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the number of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes (刹车) can cause a persistent wave of congestion. “It’s a kind of phase transition,” like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, says Nishinari, a physicist at the University of Tokyo. Nishinari’s previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even in large numbers. So what’s their secret? In a recent study, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another-and they don’t speed up to pass others. Human drivers at rush hour are hard to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says Nicola, who studies sustainable engineering at the University of Trento in Italy. “But self-driving cars, if they one day become everywhere, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow-perhaps, by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road,” Nicola suggests. Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: don’t tailgate. By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified (放大) into a traffic jam with no obvious cause. “Just keeping away,” he says, “can help traffic flow smoothly.” 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of causing a jam. B. The bad effects of jams on our life. C. The difficulty of avoiding a jam. D. The suffering of being stuck in a jam. 13. What is the ants’ key to avoiding traffic jams? A. Traveling in large groups. B. Keeping steady speed and spacing. C. Following a central leader. D. Frequently walk over one another. 14. What does Nicola suggest in Paragraph 4? A. Provide more speed choices for drivers. B. Build special roads for self-driving cars. C. Set stricter rules to regulate drivers’ behaviors. D. Apply ants’ cooperative strategies to self-driving cars. 15. What does the underlined word “tailgate” mean in the last paragraph? A. Park illegally. B. Speed up suddenly. C. Drive too closely. D. Ignore traffic signals. 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。 Anyone with an internet connection can watch breaking news, or at least some version of it.

Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online. ____17____ Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. Of course, not all misinformation is serious. Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people, so be as skeptical of silly stories as serious ones. Slow down while reading or watching.

As they sat together, exchanging plans for the coming weekend, Jamie felt a familiar knot of anxiety forming in his stomach. This was the day he had to present his science project, and the thought of speaking in front of everyone made his palms sweat. “What’s wrong, Jamie?” Ethan asked, noticing the change in his friend’s behavior. “I... I have to present my project about renewable energy tomorrow, and I’m really nervous. I don’t think I can explain it well. What if they laugh at me?” Jamie admitted. Ethan leaned in closer, “Listen, Jamie, everyone gets nervous. But if you believe in what you’re saying, others will too. Just think of it as telling a story.” Jamie sighed, considering his friend’s words, but the fear of failure still overwhelmed him. That evening, Jamie sat at his desk, on which lay the papers and diagrams of his project. He had spent weeks researching solar panels, wind turbines (风力涡轮机), and the importance of conserving energy. Yet, despite his hard work, the doubts crept back in like shadows in the night. “What if I forget everything? What if I trip over my words?” he murmured (低语) to himself. His mother, hearing his murmurs from the hallway, comforted him with a warm smile, “Jamie, remember, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about sharing what you’ve learned. You’re passionate about this topic, and that passion will shine through.” As Jamie lay in bed that night, he thought about his mother’s words. Slowly, the knot in his stomach began to loosen, replaced by a flicker of determination. The next morning, after a quick breakfast, he grabbed his project materials and headed to school. As the bell rang, one by one, students presented their projects. Jamie’s heart raced as he watched his classmates speak confidently, their voices steady and strong. 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。 Finally, it was Jamie’s turn. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the presentations, Jamie’s classmates came over to congratulate him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
