A 【解析】 【原文】Hello, everyone! Today my presentation will be focused on the latest development and application of AI. Nowadays, AI is making remarkable progress in various fields. For example, AI powered customer service system can answer customers questions and address their inquiries at any time, greatly improving customer satisfaction. In the field of security, AI based image recognition technology plays a crucial role. It can quickly identify criminals from a large database of images. Once a suspect appears, the system can alert the security personnel immediately. However, when it comes to using AI for medical diagnosis, improving the reliability of AI made diagnosis remains a challenge. Although AI can analyze large amounts of medical data, medical diagnosis is extremely complex and requires high accuracy. A wrong diagnosis may cost a life. Some people worry that AI will replace human workers in the future, but I think it will also create opportunities. For example, in factories AI controlled robots can improve production efficiency and in schools, AI based learning tools can provide personalized learning plans for students. The impact of AI continues to grow. Thanks for listening. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分60分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Night at the Library Come and experience an immersive after-hours world at Los Angeles Central Library!

Dive into the world of Color Compton to make a screen-printed T-shirt and bring it home. No skills needed, just curiosity!(加入Heavy Manners图书馆的绘画课，在那里你可以将你的想象力转化为受故事启发的艺术作品。沉浸在Color Compton的世界里，制作一件丝网印刷的T恤并带回家。不需要任何技能，只需要有好奇心!)”可知，Octavia Lab适合对动手活动感兴趣的人。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Please note that the last entry is at 10 PM.(请注意，最晚入场时间是晚上10点)”可知，对参加派对的人的友好提醒是不晚于晚上10点到达。故选A项。 B Right now, I have three different water bottles sitting on my desk. My makeup table is so messy that it would take me at least three minutes to locate my lipstick. Under my bed I have bags, purses and who knows what else that I’ve forgotten about. Sound familiar? Be honest: How often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that advertisements made you buy did you actually need? Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption, and I can see why. It involves employing persuasive techniques to encourage an addictive behavior that results in repeat buying. Companies often advocate strategies such as limited-time discounts, promotions and coupons (优惠券). I’ve definitely fallen for them many times. A membership card is another effective form of marketing that increases the likelihood of returning customers. Since buying more will lead to the accumulation of loyalty points (积分), customers will return regularly to purchase items. When their loyalty points are about to expire, customers will return to buy more even if they do not need them. But here’s the thing: It’s not just advertising. The rise of inexpensive products made on a large scale has made it way too easy to live wastefully. These products are often affordable and non-durable so that they can be frequently replenished (补充) at low cost. I mean, how many of us have bought a trendy $10 shirt, only to throw it after a few wears? Similarly, fast furniture is generating massive waste as home owners turn to these cheap and stylish pieces of furniture that often do not last long. The faster buyers replenish their products, the more waste is created. As I sit here, surrounded by the mess and reflecting on my shopping habits, a realization has dawned on me. It is ultimately the choice of individuals who must decide what they should buy and not be influenced by advertising or submit to the temptation of cheap and trendy products. After all, there is just so much we can eat, wear or use. Maybe it’s time to think twice before clicking “add to cart”. 24. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By comparing different lifestyles. B. By relating to her own experience. C. By stressing her addiction to technology. D. By questioning the function of household items. 25. Why is advertising blamed for wasteful consumption according to paragraph 2? A. It forces people to buy large packages. B. It exposes people to constant disturbance. C. It tempts people to make repeat purchases. D. It misguides people with false information. 26. What does the author intend to say in the last paragraph? A. Trendy products need quality upgrades. B. Advertising content requires strict regulations. C. Social media platforms should set a limit to ads. D. Shopping decisions should be based on real needs. 27. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. Mass Production: From Trend to Trash B. Advertising: The Mastermind that Misleads Us C. What on Earth Drives Wasteful Consumption? D. Does Social Media Contribute to Repeat Buying? 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自身经历，分析了广告营销和廉价大规模生产产品导致浪费性消费的原因，最后指出人们应根据实际需求做购物决策。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Right now, I have three different water bottles sitting on my desk. My makeup table is so messy that it would take me at least three minutes to locate my lipstick. Under my bed I have bags, purses and who knows what else that I’ve forgotten about.(现在，我桌上放着三个不同的水瓶。我的化妆台太乱了，我至少得花三分钟才能找到我的口红。我的床底下有袋子、钱包，天知道还有什么我已经忘记的东西)”和“Be honest: How often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that advertisements made you buy did you actually need?(说实话：你浏览社交媒体的频率是多少？广告让你买的东西中有多少是你真正需要的？)”可知，作者通过讲述自己的经历来引出浪费性消费这一话题。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption, and I can see why. It involves employing persuasive techniques to encourage an addictive behavior that results in repeat buying.(广告，或营销，经常被指责为助长浪费，我可以理解为什么。它包括运用有说服力的技巧来鼓励一种成瘾行为，从而导致重复购买)”可知，广告被指责导致浪费性消费是因为它运用有说服力的技巧诱使人们重复购买。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is ultimately the choice of individuals who must decide what they should buy and not be influenced by advertising or submit to the temptation of cheap and trendy products.(最终是个人的选择，他们必须决定自己应该买什么，而不是受广告影响或屈服于廉价时尚产品的诱惑)”可知，作者在最后一段想说人们要决定自己应该买什么，不是受广告影响或屈服于廉价时尚产品的诱惑，即购物决策应该基于实际需求。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption(广告或营销常常因助长浪费性消费而受到指责)”和第三段中“The rise of inexpensive products made on a large scale has made it way too easy to live wastefully.(大规模生产的廉价产品的兴起，让人们很容易过上浪费的生活)”可知，文章主要探讨了导致浪费性消费的原因，包括广告营销和廉价大规模生产产品等。C项“究竟是什么驱使了浪费性消费?”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 C AI has convinced many that we must reform education. Now that chatbots can speedily access information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations? Shouldn’t we instead teach kids to think critically and solve problems, leaving the boring work to computers? In a 2000 essay, two years after Google was founded, educator E. D. Hirsch demolished the argument that we can always just look things up. “Cognitive（认知的）psychology holds that prior knowledge helps us absorb more of what we learn and provides the fuel for creative thinking,” he wrote, “the Internet has placed a wealth of information at our fingertips. To be able to use that information, we must already possess a storehouse of knowledge.” Nick Gibb, a former UK school minister, echoed this in 2021, stating that the ability to “just google it” is highly dependent on what a person has stored in their long-term memory. The suggestion that we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more active thinking is based on a misconception. Thanks to the brain’s plasticity, its long-term memory center can expand. Daisy Christodoulou, author of Seven Myths about Education, warms that using the web as a personal memory skips mental consolidation, risking emptying our minds and damaging our learning ability. Indeed, searching online often results in us not being able to recall it later — either because our brains assume we don’t need to remember it, or because the digital distractions divide our attention. We’re also likely to overestimate our intelligence, mistaking knowledge found on the Internet for our own. If students relied on webs not just for facts but for thinking, not only memory but also cognition and creativity would face negative outcomes. The once-steady rise in IQ scores has changed in some countries, as reported. Governments are still exploring AI’s role in education. While AI may enhance learning, we must not abandon foundational knowledge. In an era of misinformation, it’s even more vital that we humans have a firm grasp of basic facts. 28. What does the underlined word “demolished” mean in paragraph 2? A. Rejected. B. Proved. C. Proposed. D. Defended. 29. What is the key to using online resources according to paragraph 2? A. Learning ability. B. Prior knowledge. C. Creative thinking. D. Long-term memory capacity. 30. What result of web-memory dependence is described in paragraph 3? A. IQ scores will rise. B. Concentration will improve. C. Memory burdens will decline. D. Cognition and creativity will suffer. 31. What do we know from the text? A. The author advocates education reform. B. Critical thinking is the core of education. C. AI-driven teaching widens knowledge gaps. D. The three experts stand on the same ground. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了在人工智能时代，教育是否应该进行改革，以及是否应该将记忆工作外包给计算机等问题，作者认为不能放弃基础知识，要重视知识储备。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段““Cognitive (认知的) psychology holds that prior knowledge helps us absorb more of what we learn and provides the fuel for creative thinking,” he wrote, “the Internet has placed a wealth of information at our fingertips. To be able to use that information, we must already possess a storehouse of knowledge.” (“认知心理学认为，先验知识有助于我们吸收更多所学知识，并为创造性思维提供燃料，”他写道，“互联网将丰富的信息置于我们的指尖。为了能够使用这些信息，我们必须已经拥有一个知识库”)” 可知，E. D. Hirsch 认为先验知识很重要，而不是认为我们可以总是去网上查找信息就行，即他反对 “我们可以总是去查找信息” 这一观点。demolish 意思是 “推翻，驳倒”，与 reject（拒绝，反对）意思相近。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“the Internet has placed a wealth of information at our fingertips. To be able to use that information, we must already possess a storehouse of knowledge.(互联网将丰富的信息置于我们的指尖。为了能够利用这些信息，我们必须已经拥有一个知识宝库)” 可知，利用网络资源的关键是先有知识储备。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If students relied on webs not just for facts but for thinking, not only memory but also cognition and creativity would face negative outcomes.(如果学生不仅依靠网络获取事实，还依靠网络进行思考，那么不仅记忆，而且认知和创造力都将面临负面结果)” 可知，依赖网络记忆会导致认知和创造力受损。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Cognitive（认知的）psychology holds that prior knowledge helps us absorb more of what we learn and provides the fuel for creative thinking,’ he wrote, ‘the Internet has placed a wealth of information at our fingertips. To be able to use that information, we must already possess a storehouse of knowledge.(“认知心理学认为，先验知识有助于我们吸收更多所学的知识，并为创造性思维提供动力，” 他写道，“互联网让我们触手可及大量信息。为了能够使用这些信息，我们必须已经拥有一个知识宝库” )可知，教育家 E.D. 赫希强调先验知识对于利用网络信息和进行创造性思维的重要性。接着根据“Nick Gibb, a former UK school minister, echoed this in 2021, stating that the ability to “just google it” is highly dependent on what a person has stored in their long-term memory(英国前教育部长尼克・吉布在 2021 年对此表示赞同，他指出，“只需谷歌一下” 的能力在很大程度上取决于一个人长期记忆中存储的内容)”可知，尼克・吉布也认可先验知识和长期记忆对利用网络的重要性，与赫希观点一致。再根据第三段 “Daisy Christodoulou, author of Seven Myths about Education, warms that using the web as a personal memory skips mental consolidation, risking emptying our minds and damaging our learning ability.(《教育的七个误区》的作者黛西・克里斯托杜洛警告说，将网络用作个人记忆会跳过心理巩固过程，有可能清空我们的大脑并损害我们的学习能力)”可知，黛西・克里斯托杜洛认为过度依赖网络记忆存在危害，也强调了不能过度依赖网络，要重视自身的知识储备。综合以上信息，这三位专家都强调了先验知识和自身知识储备的重要性，不赞成过度依赖网络，所以他们的立场是一致的。 故选D。 D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 32. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 33. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 34. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 35. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Approaches to enhancing soil quality. B. Ways of improving urban biodiversity. C. Standards for selecting plant species in cities. D. Solutions to reducing impacts of nighttime light. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人造光对人类有益，但会干扰野生动物的自然睡眠周期，新研究还发现它会使树叶变硬，影响城市生态系统。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. (研究人员发现，特定区域的人造光越多，树叶就越坚硬)”可知，人造光会使树叶变硬。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. (他们并不完全明白原因，但推测夜间处于人造光下的树木可能会延长它们的光合作用时间)”和第三段中引用Ellen Cieraad的话“Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher. (由于植物利用光进行生长，夜间人造光可能会不自然地增加树木进行光合作用的时间，将更多的资源分配到使树叶更坚硬的化合物上)”可推知，引用Ellen Cieraad的话是为了支持第二段中研究人员的假设。故选C项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. (植物的变化以及植物与动物之间相互作用的变化，会对整个城市生态系统产生重大影响。以树叶为食的食草昆虫可能难以生存，从而破坏食物链。食草昆虫数量的减少可能会导致鸟类等捕食者数量的减少，影响生物多样性)”描述的现象可知，植物和动物间的小变化会影响整个城市生态系统，即小的变动可能会影响大局。故D项“A small move may affect the bigger picture.(一个小小的变动可能会影响大局)”能概括该段现象。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文提到人造光对生态系统诸多影响和最后一段中“Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. (未来，研究人员致力于完善他们的发现，旨在引导人们采取相应的行动)”可推断，后续研究可能会关注减少夜间人造光影响的解决方案。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Ways to Avoid Overplanning and Enjoy Stress-free Holidays Finding the best gifts for friends and family members, decorating the house, planning a party and hosting get-togethers: ____36____.

During the holidays, if you are stuck in a cycle of self-critical thoughts — such as worrying that your gifts aren’t good enough or feeling guilty for not decorating as nicely as others, start practicing gratitude. You can make a list of things you’re thankful for or simply think about the good around you. ____37____. ·Choose important traditions. Holidays are full of traditions, like annual handmade gifts of grandma-style holiday meals, which foster family connection. But following traditions can be stressful, as people feel pressured to do them in a certain way. ____38____. Given limited time, energy and money, sometimes you have to make these tough choices. ·Drop the need for perfection. High expectations often lead to disappointment. Take time to figure out what truly matters — whether it’s spending quality time with loved ones, taking a break to relax, or creating meaningful memories. Just focus on what brings genuine joy. ____39____. Embrace simplicity and authenticity to find deeper fulfillment and happiness. ·____40____. People put a lot of pressure on themselves and feel like they’ve got to do everything. But the reality is you don’t have to do all the work alone. When buried under pressure, ask others to lend a hand. People feel more involved when they contribute. This not only reduces stress but also boosts the holiday spirit. A. Ask others to participate B. Reduce the stress on others C. These events can bring much joy D. Do not chase an unattainable ideal E. So, think about which ones to keep and which to drop F. All those tasks can make the holiday season stressful G. A positive mindset helps better tackle holiday challenges 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. E 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了避免过度规划假期，享受无压力假期的几种方法。 【36题详解】 上文“Finding the best gifts for friends and family members, decorating the house, planning a party and hosting get togethers(为朋友和家人找到最好的礼物，装饰房子，计划派对和举办聚会)”列举了一系列假期要做的任务，C选项“These events can bring much joy(这些活动可以带来很多欢乐)”承接上文，说明这些活动可以带来很多欢乐，同时与下文“But if you overplan the holidays, it can cause stress rather than happiness they’re meant to create.(但如果你对假期计划过多，它可能会给你带来压力，而不是你想要创造的快乐)”构成转折关系，引出避免过度规划假期这一话题，上下文语意衔接自然。故选C项。 【37题详解】 上文“During the holidays, if you are stuck in a cycle of self critical thoughts — such as worrying that your gifts aren’t good enough or feeling guilty for not decorating as nicely as others, start practicing gratitude. You can make a list of things you’re thankful for or simply think about the good around you.(在假期里，如果你陷入自我批评的循环——比如担心你的礼物不够好，或者因为没有像别人那样装饰得漂亮而感到内疚，那就开始练习感恩。你可以列一个你感恩的事情的清单，或者简单地想想你周围的美好事物)”建议用感恩来代替自我批评。G选项“A positive mindset helps better tackle holiday challenges(积极的心态有助于更好地应对假期挑战)”说明感恩带来的积极心态的作用，与上文逻辑紧密。故选G项。 【38题详解】 上文“Holidays are full of traditions, like annual handmade gifts of grandma style holiday meals, which foster family connection. But following traditions can be stressful, as people feel pressured to do them in a certain way.(假期充满了传统，比如每年的手工礼物、祖母风格的节日大餐，这些都能促进家庭联系。但遵循传统可能会有压力，因为人们觉得必须以某种方式去做)”提到传统既有益又有压力。E选项“So, think about which ones to keep and which to drop(所以，想想哪些传统要保留，哪些要舍弃)”针对上文情况提出解决办法，上下文逻辑连贯。故选E项。 【39题详解】 上文“High expectations often lead to disappointment. Take time to figure out what truly matters — whether it’s spending quality time with loved ones, taking a break to relax, or creating meaningful memories. Just focus on what brings genuine joy.(过高的期望往往会导致失望。花时间弄清楚真正重要的是什么——是和所爱的人共度美好时光，休息放松，还是创造有意义的回忆。只关注能带来真正快乐的事情)”强调不要有过高期望，要关注真正重要的事。D选项“Do not chase an unattainable ideal(不要追求无法实现的理想)”与上文观点一致，承接自然。故选D项。 【40题详解】 下文“People put a lot of pressure on themselves and feel like they’ve got to do everything. But the reality is you don’t have to do all the work alone. When buried under pressure, ask others to lend a hand. People feel more involved when they contribute. This not only reduces stress but also boosts the holiday spirit.(人们给自己施加了很大压力，觉得自己必须做所有的事情。但现实是你不必独自完成所有工作。当压力过大时，让别人帮忙。当人们做出贡献时，他们会觉得更有参与感。这不仅能减轻压力，还能提升节日氛围)”建议要让别人帮忙，让别人参与进来。A选项“Ask others to participate(让别人参与)”能概括下文内容，适合作段首小标题。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On a gray winter afternoon, I was pruning (修剪) my apple tree in my dooryard when a neighbor slowly drove by, carefully ____41____ me and shook her head with a hint of ____42____ as if to say, “Doesn’t he know this is winter?” Of course I do.

The exact origin of Chinese Chess remains a topic of debate among scholars, but many believe the game with 32 pieces ____56____(invent) to mirror the battle at the Hong Canal during the Chu-Han Period. Initially ____57____ game for the upper class, Chinese Chess rapidly gained popularity and eventually spread throughout Chinese society. However, it was not until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty ____58____ Chinese Chess evolved into its finalized pattern—the chessboard with Boundary River as well as the rules of the game. Far more than a form of entertainment, Chinese Chess serves ____59____ a profound mental exercise. The game combines elements of strategy, calculation and prediction, thus ____60____(promote) people’s logical thinking, planning and tactics as well as character cultivation. There are many sayings in Chinese culture that ____61____(direct) reflect the spirit of chess. For example, a Chinese saying “watching without telling, a true gentleman” indicates that people with good manners or qualities should simply observe what is going on without giving unasked-for advice ____62____(show) respect for others. As a cultural treasure meant for all, Chinese Chess is going ____63____(globe). It is now enjoyed by over a billion fans, most of ____64____ are in China, Vietnam, Singapore and other Asian countries. Chinese Chess tournaments at the regional and international levels take place in the world every year. Technological innovations, such as online platforms and mobile applications, are enabling _____65_____(enthusiast) to connect, compete and communicate with each other regardless of geographic barriers. Young generations of chess players continue to carry the torch with shared passion. 【答案】56. was invented 57. a 58. that 59. as 60. promoting 61. directly 62. to show 63. global 64. whom 65. enthusiasts 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国象棋（又称象棋）的起源、发展演变过程、它不仅仅是一种娱乐形式，更是一种深刻的思维锻炼方式，还阐述了中国象棋所体现的文化精神，以及它走向全球的现状和技术创新对其发展的促进作用。 【56题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：中国象棋的确切起源在学者中仍然是一个有争议的话题，但许多人认为这个有 32 个棋子的游戏是被发明来反映楚汉时期鸿沟之战的。believe 后是省略了 that 的宾语从句，从句主语是 the game ，invent 与 the game 之间是被动关系，且这里是在说过去游戏被发明这件事，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was invented。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：起初，中国象棋是上层阶级的一种游戏，它迅速流行起来，最终传遍了整个中国社会。 game 是可数名词单数，此处表示“一种游戏”，表泛指，应用不定冠词，game发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。 【58题详解】 考查强调句句意：然而，直到北宋末年，中国象棋才演变成它最终的形式 —— 有楚河汉界的棋盘以及游戏规则。本句为强调句，其基本形式为“It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其他部分”，这里强调的是时间状语 “not until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty”，当被强调部分是物时，用that。故填that。 【59题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：中国象棋远不止是一种娱乐形式，它还充当一种深刻的思维锻炼方式。serve as 是固定短语，意为 “作为；充当”，符合语境。故填as。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这个游戏结合了策略、计算和预测的元素，因此促进了人们的逻辑思维、规划和战术以及性格培养。空处已有谓语动词combines，所以promote 要用非谓语形式，此处是游戏结合多种元素产生的自然而然的结果，用现在分词作结果状语。故填promoting。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：在中国文化中有很多直接反映象棋精神的谚语。设空处修饰从句谓语动词 reflect，修饰动词要用副词形式directly。故填directly。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，中国有句谚语 “观棋不语真君子” 表明，有良好举止或品质的人应该只是观察正在发生的事情，而不主动给出建议，以表示对他人的尊重。这里用动词不定式作目的状语，表示 “不主动给出建议” 的目的是 “表示对他人的尊重” 。故填 to show。 【63题详解】 考查形容词。句意：作为一种全民共享的文化瑰宝，中国象棋正在走向全球。go 是系动词，后面要接形容词作表语，globe 的形容词形式是 global，go global 意为 “走向全球”。故填 global。 【64题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：现在有超过十亿的粉丝喜欢它，他们中的大多数人在中国、越南、新加坡和其他亚洲国家。逗号后面是非限制性定语从句，先行词是 fans，指人，在介词 of 后作宾语，所以用关系代词 whom 引导定语从句。故填whom。 【65题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：技术创新，如在线平台和移动应用程序，使爱好者们能够相互联系、竞争和交流，而不受地理障碍的限制。enable 是及物动词，后面接名词作宾语，结合语境这里指 “爱好者们”，应用名词复数形式，enthusiast 的复数是 enthusiasts。故填enthusiasts。 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，你想要拍摄一段主题为“The Charm of Chinese Culture”的英文短视频发到你的社交媒体上，向外国网友介绍中国文化。请你发一封英文帖子，内容包括： 1.介绍拍摄计划； 2.询问网友的兴趣； 3.诚邀来华体验中国文化。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hey there, everyone!

Then I smelt something delicious—the hot dog stand at the street corner. “One hot dog, please!” I nearly rushed to the stand. “OK, ready soon!” The vendor (摊主) replied cheerfully. As he handed me the hot dog, he grinned, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I guessed that was the slogan for his little business, for the words were painted in cheerful yellow letters on his cart. I couldn’t wait to take a bite. The warm bread, the chilli sauce and the juice in the sausage — it was the best thing in the world! Definitely at that time! “Five dollars, young lady,” the vendor said, wiping his hands on his apron. Hot dog in one hand, I reached for my wallet with the other. Just then, “Ouch!” a cry came from behind me. I turned back and found a woman in her 50’s struggling to pick herself up from the ground. Her grocery bag split open with oranges rolling in every direction. Seeing this, I stuffed the rest of the hot dog into my mouth, picked up the oranges and put them back into her bag. “Are you okay?” I asked with concern. “Thank you. I didn’t see the pole on the ground,” she breathed. Noticing her hand was wounded, I remembered the Band-Aid(创可贴)in my bag and dug it out. “Thank you so much for your kindness,” the woman said as I carefully applied it to her wound. Across the street, the bus I was about to take was pulling in. Waving a goodbye to the woman, I dashed to the bus stop and barely got aboard before the door closed. As the bus pulled away, I saw the woman bought a hot dog from the same vendor. On the way, I was always wondering if she would be greeted with the same words, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I was lost in it... 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。 But wait — had I forgotten something? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Someone has paid for it,” the vendor smiled. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 But wait — had I forgotten something? My heart suddenly sank as I realized I hadn’t paid the vendor! Frantically checking my wallet, I confirmed the five dollars were still there. The scene flashed back: I had dropped the wallet while helping the woman. The bus was already moving, and I could do nothing but watch the hot dog stand shrink in the distance, guilt overwhelming me. “Someone has paid for it,” the vendor smiled. Puzzled, I followed his gaze to the woman I had helped earlier. She waved at me warmly from the street corner. The vendor explained, “She insisted on paying for you, saying kindness deserves kindness.” Tears welled up as I understood — her hot dog purchase wasn’t just for herself. The vendor’s cheerful slogan now carried profound meaning, weaving our small acts of goodwill into something truly “the best in the world.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在图书馆学习一下午后，去街头热狗摊买热狗，在准备付钱时，帮助了一位摔倒的女士，结果忘记付钱就匆忙赶公交车离开。之后发现之前帮助的女士帮自己付了钱，从而体会到善良传递的温暖故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“等等——我是不是忘了什么？”可知，第一段可描写作者突然惊觉自己忘记支付热狗钱，慌乱检查钱包确认钱还在，回忆起掉钱包的原因是帮助女士时不慎掉落，此时公交车已开动，作者只能满怀愧疚地看着热狗摊远去。 ②由第二段首句内容““有人付过钱了，”小贩笑着说。”可知，第二段可描写摊主告知作者有人已帮忙付款，作者疑惑地顺着摊主的目光看到之前帮助过的女士，摊主解释女士坚持为作者付款，认为善良应得到回报，作者深受感动，也对摊主 “你值得拥有世界上最好的热狗” 这句口号有了更深的感悟。 2.续写线索：意识到忘付热狗钱→回忆掉钱包经过→无奈随公交车离开心怀愧疚→摊主告知有人代付→发现代付者是被帮助的女士→摊主解释代付原因→作者体会到善良的传递和口号的深层含义 3.词汇激活 行为类 行为类： ① 意识到：realize /become aware of ② 帮助：help/assist ③ 解释：explain /illustrate ④坚持：insist on/stick to 情绪类： ①温暖地：warmly /enthusiastically ② 快乐的：cheerful /joyful 【点睛】【高分句型 1】My heart suddenly sank as I realized I hadn’t paid the vendor!（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】Tears welled up as I understood — her hot dog purchase wasn’t just for herself.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 太原市2025年高三年级模拟考试(二)英语试卷 试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试题相应的位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上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，将答案用0.5mm黑色笔迹签字笔写在答题卡上。 3.考试结束后，将本试题和答题卡一并交回。 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，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Right now, I have three different water bottles sitting on my desk. My makeup table is so messy that it would take me at least three minutes to locate my lipstick. Under my bed I have bags, purses and who knows what else that I’ve forgotten about. Sound familiar? Be honest: How often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that advertisements made you buy did you actually need? Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption, and I can see why. It involves employing persuasive techniques to encourage an addictive behavior that results in repeat buying. Companies often advocate strategies such as limited-time discounts, promotions and coupons (优惠券). I’ve definitely fallen for them many times. A membership card is another effective form of marketing that increases the likelihood of returning customers. Since buying more will lead to the accumulation of loyalty points (积分), customers will return regularly to purchase items. When their loyalty points are about to expire, customers will return to buy more even if they do not need them. But here’s the thing: It’s not just advertising. The rise of inexpensive products made on a large scale has made it way too easy to live wastefully. These products are often affordable and non-durable so that they can be frequently replenished (补充) at low cost. I mean, how many of us have bought a trendy $10 shirt, only to throw it after a few wears? Similarly, fast furniture is generating massive waste as home owners turn to these cheap and stylish pieces of furniture that often do not last long. The faster buyers replenish their products, the more waste is created. As I sit here, surrounded by the mess and reflecting on my shopping habits, a realization has dawned on me. It is ultimately the choice of individuals who must decide what they should buy and not be influenced by advertising or submit to the temptation of cheap and trendy products. After all, there is just so much we can eat, wear or use. Maybe it’s time to think twice before clicking “add to cart”. 24. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By comparing different lifestyles. B. By relating to her own experience. C. By stressing her addiction to technology. D By questioning the function of household items. 25. Why is advertising blamed for wasteful consumption according to paragraph 2? A. It forces people to buy large packages. B It exposes people to constant disturbance. C. It tempts people to make repeat purchases. D. It misguides people with false information. 26. What does the author intend to say in the last paragraph? A. Trendy products need quality upgrades. B. Advertising content requires strict regulations. C. Social media platforms should set a limit to ads. D. Shopping decisions should be based on real needs. 27. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. Mass Production: From Trend to Trash B. Advertising: The Mastermind that Misleads Us C. What on Earth Drives Wasteful Consumption? D. Does Social Media Contribute to Repeat Buying? C AI has convinced many that we must reform education. Now that chatbots can speedily access information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations? Shouldn’t we instead teach kids to think critically and solve problems, leaving the boring work to computers? In a 2000 essay, two years after Google was founded, educator E. D. Hirsch demolished the argument that we can always just look things up. “Cognitive（认知的）psychology holds that prior knowledge helps us absorb more of what we learn and provides the fuel for creative thinking,” he wrote, “the Internet has placed a wealth of information at our fingertips. To be able to use that information, we must already possess a storehouse of knowledge.” Nick Gibb, a former UK school minister, echoed this in 2021, stating that the ability to “just google it” is highly dependent on what a person has stored in their long-term memory. The suggestion that we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more active thinking is based on a misconception. Thanks to the brain’s plasticity, its long-term memory center can expand. Daisy Christodoulou, author of Seven Myths about Education, warms that using the web as a personal memory skips mental consolidation, risking emptying our minds and damaging our learning ability. Indeed, searching online often results in us not being able to recall it later — either because our brains assume we don’t need to remember it, or because the digital distractions divide our attention. We’re also likely to overestimate our intelligence, mistaking knowledge found on the Internet for our own. If students relied on webs not just for facts but for thinking, not only memory but also cognition and creativity would face negative outcomes. The once-steady rise in IQ scores has changed in some countries, as reported. Governments are still exploring AI’s role in education. While AI may enhance learning we must not abandon foundational knowledge. In an era of misinformation, it’s even more vital that we humans have a firm grasp of basic facts. 28. What does the underlined word “demolished” mean in paragraph 2? A. Rejected. B. Proved. C. Proposed. D. Defended. 29. What is the key to using online resources according to paragraph 2? A. Learning ability. B. Prior knowledge. C. Creative thinking. D. Long-term memory capacity. 30. What result of web-memory dependence is described in paragraph 3? A. IQ scores will rise. B. Concentration will improve. C. Memory burdens will decline. D. Cognition and creativity will suffer. 31. What do we know from the text? A. The author advocates education reform. B. Critical thinking is the core of education. C. AI-driven teaching widens knowledge gaps. D. The three experts stand on the same ground. D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 32. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 33. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 34. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 35. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Approaches to enhancing soil quality. B. Ways of improving urban biodiversity. C. Standards for selecting plant species in cities. D. Solutions to reducing impacts of nighttime light. 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Ways to Avoid Overplanning and Enjoy Stress-free Holidays Finding the best gifts for friends and family members, decorating the house, planning a party and hosting get-togethers: ____36____.

During the holidays, if you are stuck in a cycle of self-critical thoughts — such as worrying that your gifts aren’t good enough or feeling guilty for not decorating as nicely as others, start practicing gratitude.

Just focus on what brings genuine joy. ____39____. Embrace simplicity and authenticity to find deeper fulfillment and happiness. ·____40____. People put a lot of pressure on themselves and feel like they’ve got to do everything. But the reality is you don’t have to do all the work alone.

Then I smelt something delicious—the hot dog stand at the street corner. “One hot dog, please!” I nearly rushed to the stand. “OK, ready soon!” The vendor (摊主) replied cheerfully. As he handed me the hot dog, he grinned, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I guessed that was the slogan for his little business, for the words were painted in cheerful yellow letters on his cart. I couldn’t wait to take a bite. The warm bread, the chilli sauce and the juice in the sausage — it was the best thing in the world! Definitely at that time! “Five dollars, young lady,” the vendor said, wiping his hands on his apron. Hot dog in one hand, I reached for my wallet with the other. Just then, “Ouch!” a cry came from behind me. I turned back and found a woman in her 50’s struggling to pick herself up from the ground. Her grocery bag split open with oranges rolling in every direction. Seeing this, I stuffed the rest of the hot dog into my mouth, picked up the oranges and put them back into her bag. “Are you okay?” I asked with concern. “Thank you. I didn’t see the pole on the ground,” she breathed. Noticing her hand was wounded, I remembered the Band-Aid(创可贴)in my bag and dug it out. “Thank you so much for your kindness,” the woman said as I carefully applied it to her wound. Across the street, the bus I was about to take was pulling in. Waving a goodbye to the woman, I dashed to the bus stop and barely got aboard before the door closed. As the bus pulled away, I saw the woman bought a hot dog from the same vendor. On the way, I was always wondering if she would be greeted with the same words, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I was lost in it... 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。 But wait — had I forgotten something? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Someone has paid for it,” the vendor smiled. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是太原市2025学年高三年级第二次模拟考试英语听力部分。该部分分为第一第二两节，请看听力部分第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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，答案写在答题卡上。例如，现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
