Following are some outstanding ones. Have a brief reading of the introduction, and choose the one to your taste. The Life Impossible By Matt Haig Filled with wonder and wild adventure, this book is a story of hope and the life-changing power of a new beginning. When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on an island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her. She arrives in Ibiza with a one-way ticket, no guidebook and no plan. Among the foggy hills and golden beaches, Grace searches for answers about her friend’s life, and how it ended. What she uncovers is stranger than she could have dreamed. Night Magic By Leigh Ann Henion In this book, New York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes, step outside and embrace the dark as an extremely beautiful part of the world. The book is rich with insights about nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals and plants, like bats in Alabama and mushrooms in North Carolina. During her adventure, Henion encounters naturalists, biologists and others who’ve devoted their lives to studying creatures in the dark. Blood Test: A Comedy By Charles Baxter Blood Test: A Comedy is a humorous play that digs into the chaos and absurdity (荒诞) surrounding a routine medical check-up. The story begins with a mix-up with blood test results in a clinic waiting room, which leads to a series of misunderstandings and over-the-top reactions. As the characters search for the truth, the plot becomes complicated. With amusing dialogue, comical humor and a touch of heart, the book reminds us not to take life — or our health — too seriously. 21. Why does Grace Winters go to the Mediterranean island in The Life Impossible? A. To start a new life there. B. To buy her friend’s run-down house. C. To find out the truth about her friend. D. To meet her long-lost friend. 22. Who might be interested in Night Magic? A. Nature enthusiasts. B. Magic lovers. C. Island explorers. D. Comedy fans. 23. What does the author want to tell us in Blood Test: A Comedy? A. Live your life freely. B. Live your life to the full. C. Life is full of hope. D. Life is beyond dream. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是几本新出版的书籍及其核心内容，帮助读者根据自己的兴趣选择合适的读物。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Life Impossible By Matt Haig部分中的“Among the foggy hills and golden beaches, Grace searches for answers about her friend’s life, and how it ended.(在雾气弥漫的山丘和金色的海滩间，格雷斯寻找关于她朋友的生活及其结局的答案。)”可知，格雷斯·温特斯前往地中海岛屿是为了寻找她朋友的生活真相以及其死亡原因。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Night Magic By Leigh Ann Henionn部分中的“The book is rich with insights about nocturnal animals and plants, like bats in Alabama and mushrooms in North Carolina.(这本书充满了关于夜间活动的动物和植物的见解，例如阿拉巴马州的蝙蝠和北卡罗来纳州的蘑菇。)”可知，这本书充满了关于夜间活动的动物和植物的见解，由此可知，自然爱好者、特别是那些对夜间生物有兴趣的人会对此书感兴趣。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Blood Test: A Comedy By Charles Baxter部分中的“With amusing dialogue, comical humor and a touch of heart, the book reminds us not to take life — or our health — too seriously.(通过有趣的对话、喜剧性的幽默和一丝温情，这本书提醒我们不要过于严肃地对待生活或健康。)”可知，本书通过幽默的故事告诉读者不要过于严肃地对待生活和健康问题，由此可知，本书是鼓励人们更加轻松自由地生活。故选A项。 B Productive artificial intelligence is increasingly making its presence felt in classrooms. It’s not just students who are turning to AI for help; teachers are also getting involved. Many teachers are now using new AI grading tools, which offer students speedier feedback and more opportunities to practice. When applied correctly, AI assistants are believed to bring about benefits and remove prejudice from the evaluation of student work. Education-oriented (面向教育的) AI startups typically provide grading services mainly in writing-heavy subjects like English and history, and to some extent in math and science. These AI-based systems generate a score and offer negative comments on various elements such as topic sentences, persuasive arguments and more. Teachers have the option to use the AI-generated feedback as a guide or directly pass it on to students. However, not everyone is convinced that AI is suitable for grading. Some people hold the view that the technology isn’t reliable enough for vital grading, which can have a significant impact on students’ college admissions and other life-changing decisions. Critics point out that current AI tools can have shortcomings or be overly strict in grading. Alex Kotran, co-founder of the AI Education Project, emphasized, “It should not be used for grading. It will weaken public trust in the education system.” To test how these graders function, a 12th-grade English paper from a Wall Street Journal colleague was put into three different AI tools. The paper, an essay about the oppression (压迫) of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” that originally received a 97% in 2013, got various scores. AutoMark gave it 97% at first and later 100%, while Class Companion rated it 62% and CoGrader judged it 85%. The results were confusing. In conclusion, AI grading tools offer both opportunities and challenges in the classroom. As AI technology continues to grow, it will be crucial to strike a balance between getting much of its benefits and preserving the human touch that is essential for effective teaching and learning. 24. What are the favorable results brought by AI grading tools according to paragraph 1? A. Faster feedback and more chances to practice. B. Reduced workload for teachers and increased student activity. C. Improved student attendance and better classroom management. D. Enhanced student-teacher interaction and reduced homework. 25. What subjects are primarily targeted by AI companies for grading services? A. Calculation-core subjects. B. Experiment-centre subjects. C. Politics-related subjects. D. Article-writing subjects. 26. Why do some people oppose to use AI for critical grading? A. AI tools are too expensive for schools to afford. B. AI technology decreases public trust in the education system. C. AI grading will make teachers lose their jobs. D. AI tools make students become over-dependent on technology. 27. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. AI grading tools function perfectly. B. AI grading tools should be used with great caution. C. AI grading tools are reliable in the final assessment. D. AI grading tools will play a key role in education. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是人工智能在课堂教学中的应用，特别是AI评分工具带来的机遇与挑战。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many teachers are now using new AI grading tools, which offer students speedier feedback and more opportunities to practice.(许多教师正在使用新的AI评分工具，这些工具为学生提供了更快的反馈和更多的练习机会。)”可知，人工智能评分工具为学生提供了更快的反馈和更多的练习机会。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Education-oriented (面向教育的) AI startups typically provide grading services mainly in writing-heavy subjects like English and history, and to some extent in math and science.(面向教育的AI初创公司通常主要提供在写作密集型科目如英语和历史中的评分服务，并在一定程度上涉及数学和科学)”可知，AI初创公司通常主要提供在写作密集型科目如英语和历史中的评分服务，由此可知，AI公司提供的评分服务主要针对的是写作类科目。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Alex Kotran, co-founder of the AI Education Project, emphasized, “It should not be used for grading. It will weaken public trust in the education system.”(AI教育项目联合创始人亚历克斯·科特兰强调：“AI不应被用于评分，因为它会削弱公众对教育系统的信任。”)”可知，AI被用于评分会削弱公众对教育系统的信任。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The paper, an essay about the oppression (压迫) of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” that originally received a 97% in 2013, got various scores.

The results were confusing.(这篇关于莎士比亚《哈姆雷特》中奥菲利亚压迫的论文在2013年曾获得97分，但在AI工具中得分各异：AutoMark给出97分（后来调整为100分），Class Companion评分为62分，CoGrader则给出85分。结果令人困惑。)”可知，本段通过一个测试案例展示了AI评分工具的不一致性，结果令人困惑，由此可知，AI评分工具存在不可靠性，需要谨慎使用。故选B项。 C Confidence is influential. A study by Matthias Brauer of the University of Mannheim and his co-authors analysed language used in letters from activist investors. It found that more confident letters were associated with more successful activist campaigns. Confidence wins status, too. In a study published in 2012 by Cameron Anderson of the University of California, students on an MBA course were asked to take an online survey before they started classes. The questionnaire asked participants to say if they recognized certain names, events and works of art unknown to them. The options included both real choices, such as Maximilien Robespierre and “Pygmalion”, and made-up ones like Bonnie Prince Lorenzo and “Winermere Wild”. Overconfident students who had picked more “invented” entries turned out to have the most influence on their classmates, and they were also the ones who were trusted the most, according to end-of-term ratings. As much as confidence brings rewards, however, it also brings danger. Work by Ulrike Malmendier of the University of California, has found that overconfident bosses are much more likely to undertake acquisitions (收购). Thus, their acquisitions are also more likely to destroy the value of the company. Another paper, by Guoli Chen of INSEAD and his co-authors, looked at the relationship between bosses’ confidence and their earnings forecasts. The researchers found that bosses with inflated (膨胀的) levels of self-belief were slower to adjust their forecasts when they proved inaccurate. “Put simply,” they concluded, “overconfident bosses who make mistakes continue to be wrong for longer.” This messy picture is divided into two broad directions for managers to reflect on. First, puffed-up people need guardrails. A new paper by Priscilla Kraft of WHU, a German business school finds that overconfident bosses of American high-tech firms have a better record of making breakthrough innovations if they are managed by powerful and expert boards (董事会). Second, self-doubters need encouragement to fulfil their potential. That might come from managers, advisors or even themselves. 28. Why did overconfident students have more influence on their classmates in the study in 2012? A. They were more active in class discussion. B. They had a better understanding of the survey. C. Their overconfidence made them more reliable. D. They made more correct options in the questionnaire. 29. What’s the potential risk for overconfident bosses according to Ulrike Malmendier? A. Bringing too many rewards. B. Leading to certain loss. C. Avoiding acquisitions. D. Expanding their business. 30. What does the underlined sentence “puffed-up people need guardrails” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Overconfident people need proper management. B. Overconfident people should be encouraged. C. Overconfident people need more power. D. Overconfident people shoulder more responsibility. 31. What can we know from the studies mentioned in the passage? A. Confidence always leads to positive outcomes. B. Self-doubters are more likely to succeed in the long run. C. The level of confidence has no relation to one’s influence. D. Overconfidence can have both advantages and disadvantages. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是自信的双重影响，以及如何通过适当管理来平衡其在职场中的利弊。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Overconfident students who had picked more “invented” entries turned out to have the most influence on their classmates, and they were also the ones who were trusted the most, according to end-of-term ratings.

Thus, their acquisitions are also more likely to destroy the value of the company. (加州大学乌尔丽克·马尔门迪尔的研究发现，过度自信的老板更有可能进行收购，而这些收购更可能摧毁公司价值)”可知，过度自信的老板更有可能进行收购，而这些收购更可能摧毁公司价值，由此可知，过度自信可能导致一些损失。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线句子是“为管理者提供的两个方向的思考之一”，其后的内容是对其进行阐述，结合其后的“A new paper by Priscilla Kraft of WHU, a German business school finds that overconfident bosses of American high-tech firms have a better record of making breakthrough innovations if they are managed by powerful and expert boards (董事会). (德国商学院WHU的普里西拉·克拉夫特的一项新研究发现，如果过度自信的美国高科技公司老板由强大且专业的董事会管理，他们在突破性创新方面会有更好的表现)”可知，过度自信的美国高科技公司老板由强大且专业的董事会管理，他们会有更好的表现。由此可知，此处建议管理者要对过度自信的人进行适当的管理和约束。由此猜测，划线句子的意思应为“过度自信的人需要适当的管理和约束”。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Overconfident students who had picked more “invented” entries turned out to have the most influence on their classmates, and they were also the ones who were trusted the most, according to end-of-term ratings. (结果显示，选择更多虚构条目的过度自信学生对同学的影响力最大，并且他们也最受信任，这体现在期末评分中)”可知，他们的过度自信让他们显得更可靠，从而获得更多影响力，结合第三段中的“As much as confidence brings rewards, however, it also brings danger.(然而，尽管自信带来了回报，它也伴随着危险)”以及下文介绍的过度自信也可能导致风险和损失的先关研究可知，全文通过研究展示了过度自信的双重影响，即：过度自信既有优点也有缺点。故选D项。 D At a Berlin trade fair for sustainability, a new device caught Waltraud Berg’s eye - a solar panel small enough to be easily installed (安装) on the side of a balcony (阳台) and then plugged into a wall socket (插座) to feed energy produced by the sun directly into her home. “I was absolutely thrilled to learn that such a thing even existed, that you can generate your own power and be more independent,” said Ms. Berg, a retiree who installed several panels on the south-facing balcony of her apartment by herself. Each of the lightweight panels produces only enough electricity to charge a laptop or run a small refrigerator. But in homes across Germany, they are powering a quiet transformation. Electricity prices in Germany have now settled at around 25 euro cents per kilowatt-hour. But they remain among the highest in Europe. Recently, a few new passed laws have effectively prevented landlords from blocking solar panel installations and dropped some of the annoying registration requirements. More than 500, 000 of the systems have already been set up across Germany, and the new laws that relaxed rules around solar panel installation have contributed to a craze in use. Some of the solar panels sold in Germany are made by European companies, but most are produced in China, whose dominance (支配地位) of the global industry allows it to deliver solar panels at increasingly lower costs. Janik Nolden, who together with two friends founded Solago, a German company that sells rooftop solar panels and the plug-in versions, said most of the ones that he sells are produced in China, which makes better quality and less expensive panels than anything being produced in Europe. “We are seeing a continuous increase in solar installations in particular,” said Klaus Müller, president of the Federal Network Agency. “Compared to the total capacity of last year, almost 10percent more solar capacity was added in 2024. Of that, two-thirds was installed on buildings, which includes balcony systems.” 32. Why was Waltraud Berg excited about the solar panels? A. Because they could help her save on electricity bills significantly. B. Because they allowed her to make her own electricity. C. Because they enabled her to grow plants on her balcony. D. Because they allowed her to share electricity with her neighbors. 33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Landlords are forced to install solar panels. B. No upsetting install-restrictions exist. C. New laws are favored by consumers. D. Electricity prices will certainly remain at a high level. 34. What do we know about the solar panels sold in Germany? A. All of the panels are made in China. B. The solar panels must be installed by professionals. C. The panels have no effect on the electricity prices in Germany. D. A lightweight panel generates enough power to charge a portable PC. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. German’s Love for Solar Energy B. China’s Solar Panels in Germany C Solar Panels Lighting up German Homes D. Balcony Systems are Simplified in German Homes 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是德国新法律推动太阳能电池板普及，小型阳台系统如何改变家庭能源使用方式，提升能源独立性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““I was absolutely thrilled to learn that such a thing even existed, that you can generate your own power and be more independent, ” said Ms. Berg, a retiree who installed several panels on the south-facing balcony of her apartment by herself. (“我得知这种东西竟然存在感到非常兴奋，因为你可以自己发电并变得更加独立，”退休人员Ms. Berg说道，她自己在公寓朝南的阳台上安装了几块太阳能电池板。)”可知，太阳能板可以使她自己发电并变得更加独立，由此可知，Ms. Berg对太阳能电池板的兴奋点在于能够自己生产电力。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Recently, a few new passed laws have effectively prevented landlords from blocking solar panel installations and dropped some of the annoying registration requirements. More than 500, 000 of the systems have already been set up across Germany, and the new laws that relaxed rules around solar panel installation have contributed to a craze in use.

Evidently 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍那达慕节的传统体育项目，包括摔跤、赛马和射箭，及其文化意义。 【56题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：在那达慕大会的核心是这些传统体育项目，它们已经被实践了几个世纪。此处为谓语动词，根据句意以及时间状语for centuries可知，此处使用现在完成时，主语these sports与动词practise之间是被动关系，因此使用现在完成时的被动语态，且主语为名词复数。。故填have been practised。 【57题详解】 考查连词。句意：这些体育项目包括摔跤、赛马和射箭。分析句子结构可知，wrestling和 horse racing与archery是并列结构，需要用并列连词and连接。故填and。 58题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：摔跤或许是那达慕大会三项运动中最著名的。根据语境以及“of the three sports”可知，表示三者之间的比较，所以需要使用famous的最高级形式，且最高级前需要定冠词the。故填the most famous。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：穿着彩色服装的摔跤手代表了他们祖先的精神，比赛是一种纪念先辈的方式。此处为固定搭配in colourful costumes表示“穿着彩色服装”符合句意，所以此处使用介词in。故填in。 【60题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：穿着彩色服装的摔跤手代表了他们祖先的精神，比赛是一种纪念先辈的方式。此处为关系词引导的定语从句，先行词是people，在从句中作主语，因此可以使用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。故填who/that。 【61题详解】 考查名词。句意：马被视为力量和自由的象征，它们的成功让主人感到自豪。此处为名词作宾语，free的名词形式freedom，意为“自由”，与“strength”并列关系。故填freedom。 【62题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：这些比赛象征着几个世纪以来的游牧生活方式，并每年吸引来自世界各地的人们。此处为句子的谓语动词，所以此处使用symbol的动词形式symbolize或者symbolise意为“象征”，结合句意，此处讲述的是客观事实，所以此处使用一般现在时，主语the races是复数。故填symbolize/symbolise。 【63题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：射箭曾被用于狩猎和战争，自古以来就是蒙古人生活的重要组成部分。此处为非谓语动词作定语，use与逻辑主语archery之间是被动关系，需要用过去分词used作后置定语。故填used。 【64题详解】 考查动名词。句意：拉弓和放箭的动作象征着人与自然之间的和谐。此处为非谓语动词作宾语，介词of之后应为动名词形式，“releasing an arrow”和“drawing a bow”是并列结构，均需使用动名词形式。故填releasing。 【65题详解】 考查副词。句意：显然，这些传统体育不仅仅是游戏；它们是对遗产的一种庆祝，将过去与现在联系起来。此处需要用副词形式修饰整个句子，evident的副词形式为evidently意为“显然”符合句意，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Evidently。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，是个摄影爱好者。上周，你参加了学校举办的以“中国传统节日”为主题的摄影比赛（photography competition）。请你写封邮件，将你的参赛经历与你的英国朋友 Jack分享，内容包括： 1. 你的作品介绍； 2. 参赛结果及感受。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jack, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Jack, I’m delighted to tell you about my experience in our school photography competition themed with “Chinese Traditional Festivals”.

She usually hikes with someone along the 3.2-mile trail (山路). Last August, Bannister, then 49, went on her own, figuring she’d be fine because she’s an experienced hiker. It was steep (陡峭的) so it was considered a hard hike, but because she had done it so many times, she wasn’t nervous about it. She arrived at the trail at around 11 am and made her way to the lookout. As she headed back down, her foot got caught in a hole in the ground. She fell forward heavily. By the time she sat up, she found her foot pointed the wrong way. She knew right away she had broken her leg. With sharp pain, Bannister struggled to shout for help. Luckily, a stranger approached before long and called 911. The response from the other end of the phone was rather discouraging - they were told a professional search and rescue team would arrive in five hours. The sad story continued. Bannister asked this man if he had painkillers, because at that point, the pain was pretty bitter. Another negative reply came to her. Her heart was sinking deep. At this moment, two young men approached to see what was going on. Troy May, 20, an Air Force air man stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, had hiked up to the lookout that day with his friend Layton Allen. When they saw Bannister on the ground in enormous pain, they knew Bannister needed to be carried down without any further delay. They made an immediate offer: they could carry the injured woman to the foot of the hill. 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。 May eased Bannister onto his back and started hiking downward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three hours later, they reached the trail’s end. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 May eased Bannister onto his back and started hiking downward. The steep trail demanded every ounce of strength as loose rocks slid beneath his boots. Allen steadied them from behind, gripping Bannister’s legs firmly. “Breathe through the pain,” May encouraged, his uniform soaked with sweat. Bannister bit her lip, muffling whimpers as jolts of agony shot through her leg. Halfway down, May’s arms trembled violently. Without hesitation, Allen took over, shouldering the weight like relay runners passing a baton. They alternated carries every fifteen minutes, their synchronized movements defying the mountain’s cruelty. When thunder rumbled overhead, they quickened pace, rain blending with the salt of determination on their faces. Three hours later, they reached the trail’s end. Paramedics rushed forward with a stretcher, disbelief etching their faces - the rescue team was still two hours away. Bannister grasped the young men’s hands, tears cutting through dirt streaks. “You’re my angels,” she whispered hoarsely. May simply nodded while Allen adjusted her makeshift leg splint. At the hospital, X-rays confirmed a compound fracture. Months later, Bannister stood crutch-free at the lookout point, this time flanked by two Air Force servicemen in hiking gear. The trio laughed about their “adventure,” the mountain now bearing witness not to tragedy, but to human resilience forged through selfless courage. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了厄休拉·班尼斯特喜欢徒步旅行，某次她独自去徒步，结果在路上摔倒了，摔断了腿。幸亏得到了两个年轻人的帮助，最终把班尼斯特扶下了山，进行医治。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“梅把班尼斯特扶到背上，开始往下走。”可知，第一段可描写两个年轻人帮助班尼斯特下山的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“三个小时后，他们到达了小路的尽头。”可知，第二段可描写班尼斯特下山后得到救治以及三人再次去徒步。 2.续写线索：扶班尼斯特下山——两人轮流提供帮助——下山——送往医院——得到救治——再次徒步 3.词汇激活 行类 ①抓住：grip/grab ②确认：confirm/verify ③颤抖：tremble/shake 情绪类 ①痛苦：agony/pain ②决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1] When thunder rumbled overhead, they quickened pace, rain blending with the salt of determination on their faces.（由when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] The steep trail demanded every ounce of strength as loose rocks slid beneath his boots.（由as引导原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 柳州市2025届高三第三次模拟考试 英语 （考试时间：120分钟；满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．请把答案填写在答题卡上，否则答题无效。 2．答卷前，考生务必将密封线内的项目填写清楚，密封线内不要答题。 3．选择题，请用2B铅笔，把答题卡上对应题目选项的信息点涂黑。非选择题，请用0.5 mm黑色字迹签字笔在答题卡指定位置作答。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题） 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你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 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】 Which magazine is the best seller?

Following are some outstanding ones. Have a brief reading of the introduction, and choose the one to your taste. The Life Impossible By Matt Haig Filled with wonder and wild adventure, this book is a story of hope and the life-changing power of a new beginning. When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on an island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her. She arrives in Ibiza with a one-way ticket, no guidebook and no plan. Among the foggy hills and golden beaches, Grace searches for answers about her friend’s life, and how it ended. What she uncovers is stranger than she could have dreamed. Night Magic By Leigh Ann Henion In this book, New York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes, step outside and embrace the dark as an extremely beautiful part of the world. The book is rich with insights about nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals and plants, like bats in Alabama and mushrooms in North Carolina. During her adventure, Henion encounters naturalists, biologists and others who’ve devoted their lives to studying creatures in the dark. Blood Test: A Comedy By Charles Baxter Blood Test: A Comedy is a humorous play that digs into the chaos and absurdity (荒诞) surrounding a routine medical check-up. The story begins with a mix-up with blood test results in a clinic waiting room, which leads to a series of misunderstandings and over-the-top reactions. As the characters search for the truth, the plot becomes complicated. With amusing dialogue, comical humor and a touch of heart, the book reminds us not to take life — or our health — too seriously. 21. Why does Grace Winters go to the Mediterranean island in The Life Impossible? A. To start a new life there. B. To buy her friend’s run-down house. C. To find out the truth about her friend. D. To meet her long-lost friend. 22. Who might be interested in Night Magic? A. Nature enthusiasts. B. Magic lovers. C. Island explorers. D. Comedy fans. 23. What does the author want to tell us in Blood Test: A Comedy? A. Live your life freely. B. Live your life to the full. C. Life is full of hope. D. Life is beyond dream. B Productive artificial intelligence is increasingly making its presence felt in classrooms. It’s not just students who are turning to AI for help; teachers are also getting involved. Many teachers are now using new AI grading tools, which offer students speedier feedback and more opportunities to practice. When applied correctly, AI assistants are believed to bring about benefits and remove prejudice from the evaluation of student work. Education-oriented (面向教育的) AI startups typically provide grading services mainly in writing-heavy subjects like English and history, and to some extent in math and science. These AI-based systems generate a score and offer negative comments on various elements such as topic sentences, persuasive arguments and more. Teachers have the option to use the AI-generated feedback as a guide or directly pass it on to students. However, not everyone is convinced that AI is suitable for grading. Some people hold the view that the technology isn’t reliable enough for vital grading, which can have a significant impact on students’ college admissions and other life-changing decisions. Critics point out that current AI tools can have shortcomings or be overly strict in grading. Alex Kotran, co-founder of the AI Education Project, emphasized, “It should not be used for grading. It will weaken public trust in the education system.” To test how these graders function, a 12th-grade English paper from a Wall Street Journal colleague was put into three different AI tools. The paper, an essay about the oppression (压迫) of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” that originally received a 97% in 2013, got various scores. AutoMark gave it 97% at first and later 100%, while Class Companion rated it 62% and CoGrader judged it 85%. The results were confusing. In conclusion, AI grading tools offer both opportunities and challenges in the classroom. As AI technology continues to grow, it will be crucial to strike a balance between getting much of its benefits and preserving the human touch that is essential for effective teaching and learning. 24. What are the favorable results brought by AI grading tools according to paragraph 1? A. Faster feedback and more chances to practice. B. Reduced workload for teachers and increased student activity. C. Improved student attendance and better classroom management. D. Enhanced student-teacher interaction and reduced homework. 25. What subjects are primarily targeted by AI companies for grading services? A. Calculation-core subjects. B. Experiment-centre subjects. C. Politics-related subjects. D. Article-writing subjects. 26. Why do some people oppose to use AI for critical grading? A. AI tools are too expensive for schools to afford. B. AI technology decreases public trust in the education system. C. AI grading will make teachers lose their jobs. D. AI tools make students become over-dependent on technology. 27. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. AI grading tools function perfectly. B. AI grading tools should be used with great caution. C. AI grading tools are reliable in the final assessment. D. AI grading tools will play a key role in education. C Confidence is influential. A study by Matthias Brauer of the University of Mannheim and his co-authors analysed language used in letters from activist investors. It found that more confident letters were associated with more successful activist campaigns. Confidence wins status, too. In a study published in 2012 by Cameron Anderson of the University of California, students on an MBA course were asked to take an online survey before they started classes. The questionnaire asked participants to say if they recognized certain names, events and works of art unknown to them. The options included both real choices, such as Maximilien Robespierre and “Pygmalion”, and made-up ones like Bonnie Prince Lorenzo and “Winermere Wild”. Overconfident students who had picked more “invented” entries turned out to have the most influence on their classmates, and they were also the ones who were trusted the most, according to end-of-term ratings. As much as confidence brings rewards, however, it also brings danger. Work by Ulrike Malmendier of the University of California, has found that overconfident bosses are much more likely to undertake acquisitions (收购). Thus, their acquisitions are also more likely to destroy the value of the company. Another paper, by Guoli Chen of INSEAD and his co-authors, looked at the relationship between bosses’ confidence and their earnings forecasts. The researchers found that bosses with inflated (膨胀的) levels of self-belief were slower to adjust their forecasts when they proved inaccurate. “Put simply,” they concluded, “overconfident bosses who make mistakes continue to be wrong for longer.” This messy picture is divided into two broad directions for managers to reflect on. First, puffed-up people need guardrails. A new paper by Priscilla Kraft of WHU, a German business school finds that overconfident bosses of American high-tech firms have a better record of making breakthrough innovations if they are managed by powerful and expert boards (董事会). Second, self-doubters need encouragement to fulfil their potential. That might come from managers, advisors or even themselves. 28. Why did overconfident students have more influence on their classmates in the study in 2012? A. They were more active in class discussion. B. They had a better understanding of the survey. C. Their overconfidence made them more reliable. D. They made more correct options in the questionnaire. 29. What’s the potential risk for overconfident bosses according to Ulrike Malmendier? A. Bringing too many rewards. B. Leading to certain loss. C. Avoiding acquisitions. D. Expanding their business. 30. What does the underlined sentence “puffed-up people need guardrails” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Overconfident people need proper management. B. Overconfident people should be encouraged. C. Overconfident people need more power. D Overconfident people shoulder more responsibility. 31. What can we know from the studies mentioned in the passage? A. Confidence always leads to positive outcomes. B. Self-doubters are more likely to succeed in the long run. C. The level of confidence has no relation to one’s influence. D. Overconfidence can have both advantages and disadvantages. D At a Berlin trade fair for sustainability, a new device caught Waltraud Berg’s eye - a solar panel small enough to be easily installed (安装) on the side of a balcony (阳台) and then plugged into a wall socket (插座) to feed energy produced by the sun directly into her home. “I was absolutely thrilled to learn that such a thing even existed, that you can generate your own power and be more independent,” said Ms. Berg, a retiree who installed several panels on the south-facing balcony of her apartment by herself. Each of the lightweight panels produces only enough electricity to charge a laptop or run a small refrigerator. But in homes across Germany, they are powering a quiet transformation. Electricity prices in Germany have now settled at around 25 euro cents per kilowatt-hour. But they remain among the highest in Europe. Recently, a few new passed laws have effectively prevented landlords from blocking solar panel installations and dropped some of the annoying registration requirements. More than 500, 000 of the systems have already been set up across Germany, and the new laws that relaxed rules around solar panel installation have contributed to a craze in use. Some of the solar panels sold in Germany are made by European companies, but most are produced in China, whose dominance (支配地位) of the global industry allows it to deliver solar panels at increasingly lower costs. Janik Nolden, who together with two friends founded Solago, a German company that sells rooftop solar panels and the plug-in versions, said most of the ones that he sells are produced in China, which makes better quality and less expensive panels than anything being produced in Europe. “We are seeing a continuous increase in solar installations in particular,” said Klaus Müller, president of the Federal Network Agency. “Compared to the total capacity of last year, almost 10percent more solar capacity was added in 2024. Of that, two-thirds was installed on buildings, which includes balcony systems.” 32. Why was Waltraud Berg excited about the solar panels? A. Because they could help her save on electricity bills significantly. B. Because they allowed her to make her own electricity. C. Because they enabled her to grow plants on her balcony. D. Because they allowed her to share electricity with her neighbors. 33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Landlords are forced to install solar panels. B. No upsetting install-restrictions exist. C. New laws are favored by consumers. D. Electricity prices will certainly remain at a high level. 34. What do we know about the solar panels sold in Germany? A. All of the panels are made in China. B. The solar panels must be installed by professionals. C. The panels have no effect on the electricity prices in Germany. D. A lightweight panel generates enough power to charge a portable PC. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. German’s Love for Solar Energy B. China’s Solar Panels in Germany C. Solar Panels Lighting up German Homes D. Balcony Systems are Simplified in German Homes 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Add More Laughter to Your Life Laughter isn’t just a quick moment of happiness. ___36___.

She usually hikes with someone along the 3.2-mile trail (山路). Last August, Bannister, then 49, went on her own, figuring she’d be fine because she’s an experienced hiker. It was steep (陡峭) so it was considered a hard hike, but because she had done it so many times, she wasn’t nervous about it. She arrived at the trail at around 11 am and made her way to the lookout. As she headed back down, her foot got caught in a hole in the ground. She fell forward heavily. By the time she sat up, she found her foot pointed the wrong way. She knew right away she had broken her leg. With sharp pain, Bannister struggled to shout for help. Luckily, a stranger approached before long and called 911. The response from the other end of the phone was rather discouraging - they were told a professional search and rescue team would arrive in five hours. The sad story continued. Bannister asked this man if he had painkillers, because at that point, the pain was pretty bitter. Another negative reply came to her. Her heart was sinking deep. At this moment, two young men approached to see what was going on. Troy May, 20, an Air Force air man stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, had hiked up to the lookout that day with his friend Layton Allen. When they saw Bannister on the ground in enormous pain, they knew Bannister needed to be carried down without any further delay. They made an immediate offer: they could carry the injured woman to the foot of the hill. 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。 May eased Bannister onto his back and started hiking downward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three hours later, they reached the trail’s end. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Have you noticed that people here in peru stand too . close together?

When my teacher brought the news about volunteer teaching, I jumped at the opportunity . immediately. I see, I think you must have overcome a lot of difficulties. Yeah, besides teaching, I also need to cook meals and send some students home with other teachers. But the biggest problem was the local accent. I couldn't fully understand what the local people said. Then, what cap do you moving ahead? Although these difficulties sometimes made me stressed, I felt happy when I knew my students made great progress in their studies. The greatest thing I learned was not to give up easily when the situation was bad. As for me, I learned to treasure everything I own. We seem to have gained a lot from volunteer teaching.

I sent my dog max, to a pet school today. He's been a bit restless at home, and I thought some professional training would be helpful. How long will he be there? He will stay at school for half a month and return on september twenty. So what will he do there? Every day in the morning, he will conduct a basic training, like sitting down and shaking hands with people. In the afternoon, he will play with other dogs. Evenings will involve physical activities like swimming, running and walking. I hope max will become a well behaved and sociable companion. IT sounds like a great opportunity for him. Anyway, I won't send my cat Bobby or my parrot, Vicky to a pet school. Why not? Well. Bobby prefers staying at home. As for Vicky, i'm worried he might fly away. That makes sense. Guess what?
