They can take us on adventures to distant lands and teach us lessons that stay with us forever. Let’s explore some of the amazing books. When Shadows Fall by Sita Brahmachari Using a fresh mix of an exciting first-person account with thoughtful poetic storytelling, this fiction explores the lives of Kai, Orla and Zak, and all the complicated connections, dreams and difficulties that tie then together, encouraging readers to pursue their own dreams and find out the right way to face life’s challenges with courage. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch Suffering from cancer, Professor Randy Pausch gave one final lecture. In it, he described, how to dream, how to overcome difficulties and how to live those dreams. This book, which takes readers on a journey of his ups and downs, is something everyone should read at least once in their lifetime. The Silver Chain by Jion Sheibani Sixteen-year-old Azadeh seeks comfort in her violin playing while adjusting to a new school, struggling with friendships, and facing problems at home. The book gives a look into various aspects of her personal life, filled with light-hearted humor. It is not just a story of struggle, but an attractive journey of self-development and self- discovery. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares This book follows four best friends as they start their own summer adventures, connected by a pair of magical jeans. It is a delightful read that shows independence, the true meaning of friendship and the challenges of growing up. It’s a story that young adults can relate to as they figure out their own lives. 21. Which book tells the writer’s own story? A. The Last Lecture. B. When Shadows Fall. C. The Silver Chain. D. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. 22. What do The Silver Chain and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants both focus on? A. Family and privacy. B. Growth and friendship. C. Struggle and magic. D. Traveling and adjustment. 23. This text is most probably intended for readers________ A. fascinated by adventure novels. B. interested in books about teenagers. C. seeking recommendations for inspiring reads. D. planning a literary-themed trip around the world. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍看几本令人惊叹的书。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch中的“This book, which takes readers on a journey of his ups and downs, is something everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.(这本书带领读者踏上了他的起起落落之旅，是每个人一生中至少应该读一次的书。)”可知，患癌症的教授Randy Pausch写的The Last Lecture一书中描述了他的经历，也就是讲述了作者自己的故事。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Silver Chain by Jion Sheibani中的“Sixteen-year-old Azadeh seeks comfort in her violin playing while adjusting to a new school, struggling with friendships, and facing problems at home. (16岁的阿扎德在适应新学校、为友谊而挣扎、面对家庭问题的同时，也在小提琴演奏中寻求安慰。)”和The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares中的“It is a delightful read that shows independence, the true meaning of friendship and the challenges of growing up. (这是一本令人愉快的读物，它展示了独立、友谊的真谛和成长的挑战。)”可知，二者共同聚焦的是成长与友谊。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章介绍了几本不同的书，并对书的内容亮点进行了阐述，目的很可能是给寻求鼓舞人心读物推荐的读者提供参考，而不是针对痴迷冒险小说的、对青少年相关书籍感兴趣的或者计划文学主题环球旅行的读者。故选C。 B When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力)foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking. Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. But the truth is, this story comes from my own personal experience. It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice. In Valdosta, Ga., where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt natural: Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity (逆境) was on trend with my neighborhood’s culture. Reading books not so much. Fortunately, I went to college. That’s where my reading struggles really reared their ugly head. Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake. I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader. I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading. So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation, trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy. 24. What does the author think of his new book? A. It’s beyond his expectation. B. It’s helpful for youth literacy. C. It³s full of humor and wisdom. D. It’s an exact record of his early life. 25. What was the root reason for the author³s failure to find his reading voice? A. The influence of his community. B. His dream to be an entertainer. C. The challenges he met in study. D. His preference for football. 26. What does the underlined phrase “reared their ugly head“ in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Changed. B. Concluded. C. Surfaced. D. Disappeared. 27. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Reflective and warm-hearted. B. Persuasive and absent-minded. C. Creative and stubborn. D. Ambitious and cautious. 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了原本不重视阅读的作者通过努力克服自身的阅读障碍，最终成功出版书籍、成立非营利性组织帮助他人的故事。 【详解】 1.推理判断题。由文章第一段“When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力)foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking.Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. (当我还是个孩子的时候，如果有人告诉我，我长大后会成为一名出版作家和一个青年识字基金会的创始人，我会笑，继续走路。即使现在，当我看到我最新图画书的标题，My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World，我摇摇头，不太相信那本书上有我的名字。)”可知，作者假设还小的时候有人跟他说以后他能成为出版商和创始人，他会一笑了之，即使现在看到自己的书，也不相信是书上有他自己的名字，可以推断出作者认为他的新书超出了他的预期，故选A。 2.细节理解题。由文章第二段“In Valdosta, Ga., where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt natural: Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity (逆境) was on trend with my neighborhood’s culture. Reading books not so much.(在佐治亚州的瓦尔多斯塔,在我长大的地方，我的社区为像我这样的小男孩开辟了两条走向更好生活的道路：成为一名运动员或一名艺人。我和其他孩子没有什么不同，所以我做了一件感觉很自然的事情：踢足球，忽略上学。学习每天都有挑战，足球练习也有挑战，但克服身体逆境是我的社区文化的趋势。读书不用太多。)”可知，在作者所在的那个社区像作者这样的小男孩被固定了两条通往更美好生活的道路——成为运动员或艺人，作者觉得这很自然，这是作者社区文化的趋势，读书不多，所以作者未能找到自己读书的声音的根本原因是社区对他的影响，而C项只是表面的一个挑战，故选A。 3.词句猜测题。由下文“Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake. I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader.(去杂货店的旅行很紧张，因为购买食物的简单行为涉及到太多的阅读。我会误读标签，拿走错误的东西。有一次，我拿起了苹果酱，以为那是苹果片。我没有注意到我的错误，直到我回家后才意识到是我无法理解标签上措辞的不同，才导致了这个错误。我意识到我需要做出一个重要的决定。如果我想成为一个更好的自己，我就必须成为一个更强大的读者。)”可知，作者在读大学时候由于阅读障碍认错、买错了许多东西，所以他决定努力阅读，上文写他所在的社区读书不多，所以这一句“ That’s where my reading struggles really reared their ugly head.”是承接句，故这句话的意思应该是那就是我阅读争斗都展现出来了的地方，结合“head”可以推断出划线处的意思为“浮出水面”，故选C。 4.推理判断题。由文章最后一段“I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading. So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation, trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy.(我加入了一个读书俱乐部，在我拥有的每一个自由时间阅读。我的阅读之旅也让我产生了一种欲望，去激励那些努力阅读的人。所以我创办了一个非营利组织，Share the Magic Foundation，试图通过识字来改变生活在服务不足社区的儿童的生活。)”可知，作者希望激励那些在阅读中挣扎的人，所以成立一个非营利组织，努力通过扫盲改变生活在服务不足社区的儿童的生活，作者这么做是由于自己的经历想帮助更多像他一样的儿童，可以推断出作者是热心的，而且这也是深思后做的决定，故选A。 C People frequently employ AI to craft emails, plan travel, get financial advice, summarize texts, and prepare for job interviews. According to a 2024 Pew Research survey, roughly half of Americans said they use AI at least several times a week, while a recent survey found that virtually all Americans use products that contain AI (even though two-thirds don’t realize it). Companies offering AI assistants sell them as productivity boosters. They argue that assigning them routine mental tasks frees up users’ time and cognitive (认知的) resources, which they can then spend on other, more creative, and innovative pursuits. The idea makes natural sense and has backing in the scientific literature. According to cognitive load theory, the human cognitive system has limited capacity. So reducing cognitive load can enhance learning and performance. Habitually offloading cognitive tasks to AI could backfire, however. As AI has grown more commonplace in everyday life, psychologists theorize that it reduces users’ engagement in deep, reflective thinking, causing their critical thinking skills to decline over time. Professor Dr. Michael Gerlich, Head of the Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability at the Swiss Business School, is one of the researchers studying this risk. “If individuals use the cognitive resources freed up by AI for innovative tasks, the promise holds.” he told Big Think. “However, my research and related studies suggest that many users channel these resources into passive consumption, driven by AI-enhanced content selection. This trend matches findings on digital dependence, where the convenience of AI encourages a feedback cycle that prioritizes entertainment over critical engagement.” In other words, when AI frees up users’ cognitive resources, they typically don’t use their extra time and brain power to problem-solve or create. Rather, they tune out by watching Netflix or browsing social media — content served up by AI algorithms (算法). Gerlich found a very strong negative correlation between subjects’ use of AI tools and their critical thinking skills. The higher their usage, the lower their skills. Younger participants tended to be more dependent on AI tools compared to older participants. Education was associated with greater critical thinking skills and reduced AI’s negative effect. 28. What is the main argument of companies offering AI assistants? A. They improve efficiency and output. B. They help users reduce screen time. C. They expand users’ cognitive abilities. D. They enhance creativity and innovation. 29. Which can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 3? A. Result in a positive effect. B. Cause negative consequences. C. Achieve an intended outcome. D. Prove the existing theory wrong. 30. What does Dr. Gerlich’s research suggest about the use of AI? A. Freed-up resources fuel innovation. B. AI is mainly for educational purposes. C. Older users are more likely to rely on AI. D. Freed-up resources go to mindless activities. 31. Which can describe the relationship between AI usage and critical thinking? A. Irrelevant. B. complicated. C. disadvantageous. D. Positive. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人工智能（AI）在日常生活中的广泛应用及其对用户认知能力，特别是批判性思维技能的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Companies offering AI assistants sell them as productivity boosters.(提供AI助手的公司将其宣传为提高生产力的工具)”可知，提供AI助手的公司认为AI助手可以提高效率和产出。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“As AI has grown more commonplace in everyday life, psychologists theorize that it reduces users’ engagement in deep, reflective thinking, causing their critical thinking skills to decline over time.(随着人工智能在日常生活中的日益普及，心理学家认为，它会减少用户参与深度、反思性思考的时间，从而导致他们的批判性思维技能随着时间的推移而下降)”可知，将认知任务交给AI会导致负面后果，即批判性思维技能下降，所以“backfire”的意思是“导致负面后果”。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In other words, when AI frees up users’ cognitive resources, they typically don’t use their extra time and brain power to problem-solve or create. Rather, they tune out by watching Netflix or browsing social media — content served up by AI algorithms.(换句话说，当AI释放用户的认知资源时，他们通常不会利用额外的时间和脑力去解决问题或创造。相反，他们会通过观看Netflix或浏览社交媒体来消磨时间——这些内容都是由AI算法提供的)”可知，释放出来的资源被用在了无意义的活动上。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gerlich found a very strong negative correlation between subjects’ use of AI tools and their critical thinking skills.(Gerlich发现，受试者使用AI工具与其批判性思维技能之间存在非常强的负相关关系)”可知，AI使用与批判性思维之间的关系是不利的，即使用AI工具越多，批判性思维技能越低。故选C。 D A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research. The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago. Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ” The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries. Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How firebrick storage technology works. B. How firebricks are produced sustainably. C. What thermal energy means scientifically. D. What thermal energy storage is used to do. 33. What advantages do firebrick have over battery? A. Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B. Firebrick can generate more electricity. C. Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D. Firebrick is made of more advanced materials. 34. Why are the computer models adopted? A. To test the durability of firebricks. B. To cut the costs of firebricks. C. To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D. To test energy storage capacity of firebricks. 35. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. The usage of firebricks can replace batteries. B. Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible. C Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply. D. An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了古老火砖技术如何通过储存热能，帮助实现工业过程的可再生能源使用，从而助力全球净零排放目标的实现。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage.(这项技术涉及在隔热容器中安装吸热砖，这些砖可以储存由太阳能或风能产生的热量，以便在工业过程中后续使用。当需要时，可以通过在“耐火砖”堆中的通道通过空气来释放热量，从而使水泥、钢铁、玻璃和造纸厂能够在没有风和阳光的情况下依然依靠可再生能源运行。这些系统是热能存储的一种形式)”可知，本段详细说明了耐火砖储能技术是将吸热砖组装在隔热容器中，用来储存太阳能或风能产生的热量以便之后使用等内容，即这项技术的工作原理。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University.(“耐火砖存储与电池存储的区别在于，耐火砖储存的是热量而不是电力，并且其成本仅为电池的十分之一，”该研究的主要作者、斯坦福大学的教授马克·雅各布森说道)”可知，耐火砖储能与电池储能的差异在于耐火砖储存热量而非电力，且成本是电池的十分之一。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.(研究人员发现，使用耐火砖的场景可以在这149个国家中削减1.27万亿美元的成本，同时减少对电能的需求以及来自电池的储能容量需求)”可知，研究者用模型对比两种未来可再生能源场景，涉及耐火砖在其中的作用及优势，故推知，采用计算机模型是为了探索耐火砖的有效性。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research.(根据最近由斯坦福大学主导的研究，一种可以追溯到青铜时代的科技可能提供了一种快速且成本低廉的方法来帮助实现联合国2050年净零排放的气候目标)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种可追溯到青铜时代的耐火砖储能技术，该技术有助于实现联合国净零排放目标，即能够助力向清洁能源的转变。因此，选项D“一项古老的技术可以帮助转向清洁能源”作为标题最为合适。故选D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。 Turning the Page: Steps to Create a New Chapter in Your Life Life is like a journey with ups and downs.

But when it came to performing in front of other people, I always became nervous and got discouraged frequently with my inability to play as well as I could when practicing alone. The fear of making mistakes made my hand tremble, overshadowing the joy I found in music. I worried that a single wrong note would break the connection I hoped to create with my listeners. Determined to overcome this fear, I joined my high school orchestra (管弦乐队) as a freshmen. At our first class, the conductor announced that we would have the opportunity to perform in San Antonio, and everyone was excited about the trip. A few weeks before the actual trip, one of my friends sent me a video of Joshua Bell, a well-known violinist, performing at a subway station. I was particularly fascinated by one piece that he played for the passersby. And he earned $32.17 for that piece. I was deeply moved by the emotional richness and complexity of the piece, and I felt a strong desire to express its beauty. I imagined myself performing it confidently, just like Bell. I started practicing it like crazy. However, the difficulty of the piece and the constant repetitions and adjustments wore me out to the point where I almost considered just giving up. But it was a worthy challenge and I thought I could master it, with my unique style. Several weeks later, our orchestra group were staying at a hotel in San Antonio. As we were hanging out, we found a beautiful courtyard just in front of the hotel. The friend who sent me the video and I were talking about how Joshua Bell’s performance at the subway station went viral on the social media. 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。 Suddenly, he suggested that I play for the hotel customers in the courtyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I tried not to mind the mistakes halfway through the performance as before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, he suggested that I play for the hotel customers in the courtyard. At first, I was hesitant. The fear of making mistakes and embarrassing myself in front of others welled up inside me. But then I thought of Joshua Bell’s performance in the subway station. He played with such passion and dedication regardless of the setting. I took a deep breath, nodded, and got my violin ready. I walked to the center of the courtyard, and as I started to play, all eyes turned towards me. I tried not to mind the mistakes halfway through the performance as before. Instead, I focused on the music itself, on expressing the beauty and emotion that I had felt when I first listened to the piece. I remembered the countless hours of practice, the determination to master this challenge. Gradually, I lost myself in the music. When I finished, there was a moment of silence, and then warm applause filled the courtyard. I looked around, seeing smiles on the faces of the hotel customers. A sense of accomplishment washed over me. I had finally overcome my fear and connected with the audience through the music. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了 作者曾经热爱小提琴，但在人前表演时总会因害怕犯错而紧张，影响发挥。为了克服恐惧，作者高一加入了学校管弦乐队，并之后将有机会在圣安东尼奥演出。一次，朋友给作者发了著名小提琴家约书亚·贝尔在地铁站表演的视频，作者被他演奏的曲目打动，决定练习并以独特风格演绎。几周后，作者所在的管弦乐队在圣安东尼奥的酒店停留，作者和朋友聊起约书亚·贝尔在地铁站的表演，这时朋友提议作者在酒店庭院为顾客演奏。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，他建议我在院子里为酒店顾客表演。”可知，第一段可描写作者刚开始很犹豫，因为一直以来在人前表演会紧张的心理还在，但是想到约书亚·贝尔在地铁站的表演后，作者决定尝试。于是作者开始演奏。 ②由第二段首句内容“我试图不像以前那样介意表演中的错误。”可知，第二段可描写作者专注于表演，并回忆起自己练习的时光，这给作者增强了信心。演奏结束后，响起了热烈的掌声，作者终于克服了自己的恐惧。 2.续写线索：犹豫——想到约书亚·贝尔在地铁站的表演——决定尝试——专注于演奏——观众热烈鼓掌——克服了恐惧 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中于：focus on/concentrate on ②表达：express/convey ③记得：remember/memorize 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/fright ②激情：passion/enthusiasm 【点睛】[高分句型1] I walked to the center of the courtyard, and as I started to play, all eyes turned towards me.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Instead, I focused on the music itself, on expressing the beauty and emotion that I had felt when I first listened to the piece.(运用了关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句和when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3] When I finished, there was a moment of silence, and then warm applause filled the courtyard.(运用了when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 $$ 养正中学、安溪一中、惠安一中、泉州实验中学 2025年春季高二年期中联考试卷 考试科目：英语 满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 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】 Where is the woman probably from?

They can take us on adventures to distant lands and teach us lessons that stay with us forever. Let’s explore some of the amazing books. When Shadows Fall by Sita Brahmachari Using a fresh mix of an exciting first-person account with thoughtful poetic storytelling this fiction explores the lives of Kai, Orla and Zak, and all the complicated connections, dreams and difficulties that tie then together, encouraging readers to pursue their own dreams and find out the right way to face life’s challenges with courage. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch Suffering from cancer, Professor Randy Pausch gave one final lecture. In it, he described, how to dream, how to overcome difficulties and how to live those dreams. This book, which takes readers on a journey of his ups and downs, is something everyone should read at least once in their lifetime. The Silver Chain by Jion Sheibani Sixteen-year-old Azadeh seeks comfort in her violin playing while adjusting to a new school, struggling with friendships, and facing problems at home.

It is not just a story of struggle, but an attractive journey of self-development and self- discovery. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares This book follows four best friends as they start their own summer adventures, connected by a pair of magical jeans. It is a delightful read that shows independence, the true meaning of friendship and the challenges of growing up. It’s a story that young adults can relate to as they figure out their own lives. 21. Which book tells the writer’s own story? A. The Last Lecture. B. When Shadows Fall. C. The Silver Chain. D. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. 22. What do The Silver Chain and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants both focus on? A. Family and privacy. B. Growth and friendship. C. Struggle and magic. D. Traveling and adjustment. 23. This text is most probably intended for readers________ A. fascinated by adventure novels. B. interested in books about teenagers. C. seeking recommendations for inspiring reads. D. planning a literary-themed trip around the world. B When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力)foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking. Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. But the truth is, this story comes from my own personal experience. It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice. In Valdosta, Ga., where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt natural: Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity (逆境) was on trend with my neighborhood’s culture. Reading books not so much. Fortunately, I went to college. That’s where my reading struggles really reared their ugly head. Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake. I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader. I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading. So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation, trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy. 24. What does the author think of his new book? A. It’s beyond his expectation. B. It’s helpful for youth literacy. C. It³s full of humor and wisdom. D. It’s an exact record of his early life. 25. What was the root reason for the author³s failure to find his reading voice? A. The influence of his community. B. His dream to be an entertainer. C. The challenges he met in study. D. His preference for football. 26. What does the underlined phrase “reared their ugly head“ in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Changed. B. Concluded. C. Surfaced. D. Disappeared. 27. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Reflective and warm-hearted. B. Persuasive and absent-minded. C. Creative and stubborn. D. Ambitious and cautious. C People frequently employ AI to craft emails, plan travel, get financial advice, summarize texts, and prepare for job interviews. According to a 2024 Pew Research survey, roughly half of Americans said they use AI at least several times a week, while a recent survey found that virtually all Americans use products that contain AI (even though two-thirds don’t realize it). Companies offering AI assistants sell them as productivity boosters. They argue that assigning them routine mental tasks frees up users’ time and cognitive (认知的) resources, which they can then spend on other, more creative, and innovative pursuits. The idea makes natural sense and has backing in the scientific literature. According to cognitive load theory, the human cognitive system has limited capacity. So reducing cognitive load can enhance learning and performance. Habitually offloading cognitive tasks to AI could backfire, however. As AI has grown more commonplace in everyday life, psychologists theorize that it reduces users’ engagement in deep, reflective thinking, causing their critical thinking skills to decline over time. Professor Dr. Michael Gerlich Head of the Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability at the Swiss Business School, is one of the researchers studying this risk. “If individuals use the cognitive resources freed up by AI for innovative tasks, the promise holds.” he told Big Think. “However, my research and related studies suggest that many users channel these resources into passive consumption, driven by AI-enhanced content selection. This trend matches findings on digital dependence, where the convenience of AI encourages a feedback cycle that prioritizes entertainment over critical engagement.” In other words, when AI frees up users’ cognitive resources, they typically don’t use their extra time and brain power to problem-solve or create. Rather, they tune out by watching Netflix or browsing social media — content served up by AI algorithms (算法). Gerlich found a very strong negative correlation between subjects’ use of AI tools and their critical thinking skills. The higher their usage, the lower their skills. Younger participants tended to be more dependent on AI tools compared to older participants. Education was associated with greater critical thinking skills and reduced AI’s negative effect. 28. What is the main argument of companies offering AI assistants? A. They improve efficiency and output. B. They help users reduce screen time. C. They expand users’ cognitive abilities. D. They enhance creativity and innovation. 29. Which can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 3? A. Result in a positive effect. B. Cause negative consequences. C. Achieve an intended outcome. D. Prove the existing theory wrong. 30. What does Dr. Gerlich’s research suggest about the use of AI? A. Freed-up resources fuel innovation. B. AI is mainly for educational purposes. C. Older users are more likely to rely on AI. D. Freed-up resources go to mindless activities. 31. Which can describe the relationship between AI usage and critical thinking? A. Irrelevant. B. complicated. C. disadvantageous. D. Positive. D A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research. The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago. Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ” The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries. Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How firebrick storage technology works. B. How firebricks are produced sustainably. C. What thermal energy means scientifically. D. What thermal energy storage is used to do. 33. What advantages do firebrick have over battery? A. Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B. Firebrick can generate more electricity. C. Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D. Firebrick is made of more advanced materials. 34. Why are the computer models adopted? A. To test the durability of firebricks. B. To cut the costs of firebricks. C. To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D. To test energy storage capacity of firebricks. 35. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. The usage of firebricks can replace batteries. B. Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible. C Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply. D An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy. 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。 Turning the Page: Steps to Create a New Chapter in Your Life Life is like a journey with ups and downs.

But when it came to performing in front of other people, I always became nervous and got discouraged frequently with my inability to play as well as I could when practicing alone. The fear of making mistakes made my hand tremble, overshadowing the joy I found in music. I worried that a single wrong note would break the connection I hoped to create with my listeners. Determined to overcome this fear, I joined my high school orchestra (管弦乐队) as a freshmen. At our first class, the conductor announced that we would have the opportunity to perform in San Antonio, and everyone was excited about the trip. A few weeks before the actual trip, one of my friends sent me a video of Joshua Bell, a well-known violinist, performing at a subway station. I was particularly fascinated by one piece that he played for the passersby. And he earned $32.17 for that piece. I was deeply moved by the emotional richness and complexity of the piece, and I felt a strong desire to express its beauty. I imagined myself performing it confidently, just like Bell. I started practicing it like crazy. However, the difficulty of the piece and the constant repetitions and adjustments wore me out to the point where I almost considered just giving up. But it was a worthy challenge and I thought I could master it, with my unique style. Several weeks later, our orchestra group were staying at a hotel in San Antonio. As we were hanging out, we found a beautiful courtyard just in front of the hotel. The friend who sent me the video and I were talking about how Joshua Bell’s performance at the subway station went viral on the social media. 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。 Suddenly, he suggested that I play for the hotel customers in the courtyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I tried not to mind the mistakes halfway through the performance as before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
