From there, they make a list of favorites, cutting it down from 60 to 40 and then finally to 20, during a heated debate in Seattle. It’s a long process where emotions run high. Below are 4 of the top 20 picks of 2023, along with quotes (引述) from the editors. Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano “Ann Napolitano creates a touching story that centers on the Padavano sisters, who are close to each other — until they aren’t. Hello Beautiful offers big emotions, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful and so page-turning, which is why we named it the Best Book of 2023 So Far.” — Al Woodworth Weyward by Emilia Hart “Though divided by centuries, three women, who share a unique connection to the natural world and to one another, tell their attractive stories of ill treatment, danger, and adaptability in a beautifully written novel that is an impressive read.” — Seira Wilson Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond “In 200 powerful and critical pages, Matthew Desmond lays out a clear explanation of inequality that will make you rage (发怒), give in, and feel shame. This book may not be the easiest read, but it’s one of the most important ones.” — Lindsay Powers King: A Life by Jonathan Eig “Eig’s best description of Martin Luther King Jr. is an amazing achievement of writing and research, telling the hardships and heroics of a man who changed the world.

B The Old Man and the Sea, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a timeless novella about an aging Cuban fisherman named Santiago. For eighty-four consecutive days, Santiago struggles without catching a single fish, becoming a symbol of bad luck in his small coastal village. His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman. Despite his loneliness and the villagers’ pity, Santiago remains determined. On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat. The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton. Returning to shore, Santiago collapses in his hut. Though he brings back nothing but bones, the village marvels at the skeleton’s size, and Manolin weeps at the old man’s injuries. Hemingway’s story is a celebration of human endurance: Santiago proves that defeat in action can coexist with victory in spirit. 4．What is the main conflict in the story? A．Santiago’s battle with the marlin and sharks. B．Santiago’s struggle against poverty. C．Manolin’s conflict with his parents. D．The villagers’ distrust of Santiago. 5．Why does Manolin leave Santiago? A．He wants to learn from a richer fisherman. B．His parents force him to leave. C．He loses faith in Santiago’s luck. D．Santiago asks him to go. 6．What does the marlin symbolize in the story? A．Unpredictable nature. B．The failure of effort. C．A test of Santiago’s determination. D．The village’s scorn. 7．What theme does Hemingway emphasize in The Old Man and the Sea? A．The importance of wealth. B．The loneliness of old age. C．The danger of the ocean. D．The power of perseverance. C Do you like the thick brush strokes and soft color palettes of an impressionist painting such as those by Claude Monet? Or do you prefer the bold colors and abstract shapes of a Rothko? Individual art tastes have a certain mystique to them, but now a new Caltech study shows that a simple computer program can accurately predict which paintings a person will like. The new study asked more than 1,500 volunteers to rate paintings in the genres of impressionism, cubism, abstract, and color field. The volunteers’ answers were fed into a computer program, which then could predict the volunteers’ art preferences. The findings not only demonstrated that computers could make these predictions but also led to a new understanding about how people judge art. “The main point is that we are gaining an insight into the mechanism that people use to make aesthetic judgments,” says O’Doherty, a neuroscientist in the team. In the study, the team programmed the computer to break a painting's visual attributes down into what they called low-level features—traits like contrast, saturation (饱和度), and color—as well as high-level features, which require human judgment and include traits such as whether the painting is dynamic or still. The computer program then estimates how much a specific feature is taken into account when making a decision about how much to like a particular piece of art. Both features are combined when making these decisions. Once the computer has estimated that, then it can successfully predict a person’s liking for another previously unseen piece of art. The researchers also discovered that the volunteers tended to cluster into three general categories: those who like paintings with real-life objects, such as an impressionist painting; those who like colorful abstract paintings; and those who like complex paintings, such as Picasso’s cubist portraits. The majority of people fell into the first “real-life object” category. While the computer program was successful at predicting the volunteers’ art preferences, the researchers say there is still more to learn about the nuances that go into any one individual’s taste. “There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.” 8．What was the main purpose of the Caltech study mentioned in the passage? A．To examine why people have different tastes in paintings. B．To compare different painting styles like impressionism and cubism. C．To prove that computers can create better art than humans. D．To determine the accuracy of computers’ prediction of art preferences. 9．Which of the following statements is TRUE about “high-level features” in the study? A．They were ignored by the computer program in the study. B．They involve subjective judgment. C．They are less accurate than low-level features in predicting preferences. D．They are easily quantifiable by machines. 10．The word “idiosyncratic” in the last paragraph most closely means A．vital B．predictable C．individual D．complex 11．Based on the passage, what is the likely next step for this research? A．Teaching computers to paint original artwork. B．Incorporating additional personal data into the prediction model. C．Eliminating the use of low-level features in predictions. D．Focusing mainly on impressionist paintings. D In high school, you have to take a lot of required courses, but you typically have some degree of choice. Your choices are often put into two broad categories. You have science, technology, engineering, and mathematics coursework in one, and arts and social studies in another. However, are art and science really that different? There are certainly key differences between doing science and making art. The goal of science is to create new understanding of how the world works and develop practical solutions that address challenges, such as climate change. Artists attempt to call up a sense of beauty or an emotional reaction through their work — whether it’s in dance, music, painting, or other art form. Science is designed to be objective and guided by data; art is subjective and deeply influenced by feelings and opinions. While the outcomes of science and art are quite different, the processes involved have certain similarities. There are plenty of real-life examples showing that people can be interested in both art and science — you don’t have to choose one over the other. Perhaps the best known Western historical figure who was both artist and scientist is Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci is famous for his paintings, particularly the Mona Lisa. But he was also known in many science and engineering fields; he dreamed up inventions far ahead of his time, including the parachute and calculator (计算器). Sometimes scientific discovery can best be understood by drawing artful comparisons. For example, Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity is sometimes poetically explained in a way that stimulates feelings: When sitting with someone you like, an hour is like a minute, but if you touch a hot stove (炉子), a minute is like an hour. All of this leads back to you and your choices and views of the arts and sciences. The process of inventing ourselves involves complex decisions, just as creating a new theory or composing a musical masterpiece does. How you’ll apply originality to decision-making will be up to you 12．What does para 2 mainly tell us about science and art? A．Their major differences. B．Their different goals. C．Their general functions. D．Their close relations. 13．What does the author mean by mentioning Da Vinci? A．Science and art have much in common. B．Everyone can develop in all sides. C．One can be good at both art and science. D．It’s crucial to make correct choices. 14．What does the explanation of Einstein’s theory suggest? A．Einstein’s theory of relativity is actually easy to learn. B．All scientific discoveries can be explained by comparison. C．Science can be more understandable by comparing artfully. D．Drawing artful comparisons is the best way to explain science. 15．What’s the author’s opinion about science and art? A．Science is more useful than art. B．They are different but related. C．Science can’t be understood without art. D．They have more similarities than differences. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） In recent years, digital learning tools have reshaped classrooms. While interactive platforms and AI tutors promise personalized education, unregulated adoption may undermine (逐步削落) core values. A University of Cambridge study tracked 2,000 students across 15 countries. “Notifications and multimedia distractions create fragmented learning,” explains Dr. Elena Vasquez. 16 . Another concern is critical thinking erosion. “Outsourcing thinking weakens analytical skills,” warns Dr. Vasquez. 17 . Educators now advocate a hybrid approach. Finland’s pilot program replaced half of textbook lessons. Results showed a 22% improvement in problem-solving skills. 18 . UNESCO’s framework emphasizes intentional design: relevance, teacher autonomy, and student agency. For example, a history class might use VR to explore historical sites but require reflective essays afterward. 19 . “Technology should amplify, not replace, human interaction,” concludes Dr. Vasquez. As schools navigate digitalization, one truth remains: effective education requires balance. 20 . By prioritizing pedagogy (教学法) over tools, educators can empower learners without compromising foundational skills. A．Such activities deepen understanding, not replace critical thinking. B．This model shows tech can enhance, not disrupt, traditional methods. C．Schools must limit screen time and integrate mindfulness training. D．However, overreliance may hinder cognitive development. E．Curriculum reforms should emphasize metacognitive strategies. F．Digital tools improve engagement but reduce lecture focus. G．Teachers need training to curate relevant digital resources. 第二部分 语言运用（共二节, 满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） Frankenstein On a stormy night in 1815, a young, 18-year-old girl had a 21 nightmare.

How can I describe my emotions at this disaster, or how to describe the terrible creature I had tried to form? His arms and legs were in proportion, and I had selected his 32 as beautiful. Beautiful! His yellow skin 33 covered the muscles beneath; his hair was black and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness that formed a horrible contrast with his watery eyes, his 34 face and straight black mouth. I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the only purpose of breathing life into an inanimate body. For this I had 35 myself of rest and health, but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream disappeared, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. 21．A．moral B．vivid C．massive D．pure 22．A．horror B．motivation C．peak D．charm 23．A．elegant B．ambitious C．innocent D．patient 24．A．rejects B．boosts C．hacks D．rebels 25．A．at B．with C．against D．of 26．A．spread B．spreading C．to spread D．to spreading 27．A．at B．to C．about D．with 28．A．at B．to C．about D．on 29．A．amounted B．attained C．combined D．engaged 30．A．lies B．lied C．laid D．lay 31．A．creature B．cage C．civilian D．comedy 32．A．features B．settings C．symbols D．professions 33．A．universally B．barely C．unrealistically D．artificially 34．A．shifted B．rooted C．eased D．wrinkled 35．A．deprived B．behaved C．decreased D．tackled 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Calligraphy, one of the most valued traditional Chinese arts, has a history spanning thousands of years. It involves the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush, where every stroke (笔画) 36 (carry) profound cultural meanings. In a recent cultural event in Shanghai, ancient Chinese calligraphy met modern digital art. At the event, digital screens 37 (use) to display high-definition images of classic calligraphy masterpieces. Moreover, advanced interactive technology allowed visitors to 38 (virtual) “pick up” a digital brush and imitate the writing process of these masters on the screen. Sensors were installed (安装) to capture the pressure, speed, and trajectory (运动轨迹) of the “brush strokes,” providing real-. time feedback on the 39 (accurate) of the imitation. Li Ming, a young visitor, enjoyed the experience. “It’s hard to find a calligraphy teacher, 40 this digital tool lets me learn at my own pace with instant guidance. It’s 41 having a private tutor.” He said. This combination of tradition and technology not only attracts youth to the art but also offers new ways of preservation. By digitizing calligraphy works, they can be better protected from time and environmental damage, while online platforms globalise access, breaking 42 (geography) barriers. Moreover, artists now use AI 43 (craft) calligraphy-inspired works. Algorithms (算法) analyze classic structures and styles to generate new character combinations, 44 are then translated into digital or physical artworks. This enriches calligraphy’s creative forms, 45 (bring) fresh vitality (活力) into the ancient art in the digital era. 第三部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46．假定你是李华，上周五你参加了学校举办的科技节，主题为“人工智能与未来”（AI and the Future）。请你给英国朋友Peter写一封邮件分享这次经历。内容包括： 1. 活动亮点; 2. 你的感想。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右; 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, I’m writing to share with you the unforgettable experience at our school’s Science and Technology Festival last Friday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

The machine delivered an apology video from Karl Anderson, a former colleague who sabotaged Winston’s job application at Future Industries nine years prior. Karl confessed to spreading rumors that Winston was “impossible to work with,” driven by fear of competition. Initially furious—“THAT SCOUNDREL!”—Winston recalled his dashed career hopes. Yet his wife Elizabeth reminded him: missing that job led him to IndustriCorp, where they met, married, and had their daughter Rachel. “Things worked out just fine,” she said. Winston accepted Karl’s apology, realizing life’s unexpected blessings. The robot then demanded Winston record his own apology, calibrated to match Karl’s in “value.” His trivial confessions—scratching a hover-bike, childhood theft—were rejected as “insufficient.” Finally, Winston recalled breaking Cherisse’s heart at 22. The robot approved: “Value is sufficient.” As Winston apologized for fleeing love out of fear, he felt “lighter,” mirroring Karl’s catharsis. The robot departed to deliver both messages. Watching it vanish into the night, Winston—inspired—declared: “I’m going to build a robot.” This encounter bridged past regrets and present gratitude. Winston’s journey from resentment to forgiveness, and his resolve to create his own reconciling machine, underscored the transformative power of accountability and serendipity. 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。 With tools scattered across the workbench, Winston stared at the blueprints of his homemade robot, determined to create a machine that could heal broken relationships. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, when he activated the robot for the first time, its screen flickered unexpectedly, displaying a familiar face from his past. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 4 Meeting the Muse 单元提升卷--2025-2026学年高中英语外研版（2019）选择性必修第一册 解析卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分） 第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 Every year — for more than 15 years running — Amazon editors come together and read hundreds of books.

The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton.(马林鱼拖着圣地亚哥的船走了两天两夜。老人因饥饿和疲惫而虚弱，用尽全身力气与鱼搏斗，拒绝投降。“痛苦对男人来说并不重要，”他低声说，体现了他的韧性准则。当他最终杀死马林鱼时，他把它绑在船舷上，却遇到了新的威胁：被马林鱼的血吸引来的鲨鱼。圣地亚哥用临时的武器——鱼叉、桨，甚至一把刀——激烈地搏斗，但鲨鱼把马林鱼剥得只剩骨架)”可知，故事的主要冲突是圣地亚哥与马林鱼和鲨鱼的战斗。故选A项。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段中“His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman.(他年轻的徒弟马诺林非常钦佩圣地亚哥，但他的父母强迫他离开老人的船，去跟随一个更成功的渔夫)”可知，马诺林离开圣地亚哥是因为他的父母强迫他离开。故选B项。 6．推理判断题。根据第一段中“On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat.(在第八十五天，他冒险驶入墨西哥湾流深处，在那里他钓到了一条巨大的马林鱼——一条比他的船还大的鱼)”和第二段中“The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender.(马林鱼拖着圣地亚哥的船两天两夜。老人因饥饿和疲惫而虚弱不堪，但他用尽每一丝力气与鱼搏斗，拒绝投降)”可知，马林鱼考验了圣地亚哥的决心，所以它象征着对圣地亚哥决心的考验。故选C项。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Hemingway’s story is a celebration of human endurance: Santiago proves that defeat in action can coexist with victory in spirit.(海明威的故事是对人类耐力的颂扬：圣地亚哥证明了行动上的失败可以与精神上的胜利并存)”以及文中圣地亚哥与马林鱼和鲨鱼搏斗的整个过程可知，海明威在《老人与海》中强调的主题是毅力的力量。故选D项。 C Do you like the thick brush strokes and soft color palettes of an impressionist painting such as those by Claude Monet?

The volunteers’ answers were fed into a computer program, which then could predict the volunteers’ art preferences.(这项新研究让1500多名志愿者对印象派、立体派、抽象派和色域派等不同流派的画作进行评分。志愿者的答案被输入到一个计算机程序中，该程序可以预测志愿者的艺术偏好) ”以及第三段中“The findings not only demonstrated that computers could make these predictions but also led to a new understanding about how people judge art.(研究结果不仅证明了计算机可以进行这些预测，还让我们对人们如何评判艺术有了新的认识)”可知，Caltech研究的主要目的是确定计算机预测艺术偏好的准确性。故选D。 9．推理判断题。 根据第四段“In the study, the team programmed the computer to break a painting's visual attributes down into what they called low-level features — traits like contrast, saturation (饱和度), and color — as well as high-level features, which require human judgment and include traits such as whether the painting is dynamic or still.(在研究中，研究团队让计算机将画作的视觉属性分解为他们所说的低级特征——如对比度、饱和度和颜色等特性——以及需要人类判断的高级特征，包括画作是动态的还是静态的等特性)”可推知，研究中的“高级特征”涉及主观判断。故选B。 10．词句猜测题。 根据最后一段中“There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.(O’Doherty说：“我们无法用这种方法解释个人偏好的某些方面。这种更idiosyncratic的成分可能与过去的经历和其他可能影响评估的个人特质有关。”)”可知，无法用这种方法解释个人偏好的某些方面，所以此处指这种更个人的成分可能与过去的经历和其他可能影响评估的个人特质有关，“idiosyncratic”在此处意为“个人的，独特的”。故选C。 11．推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“While the computer program was successful at predicting the volunteers’ art preferences, the researchers say there is still more to learn about the nuances that go into any one individual’s taste. “There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.”(虽然计算机程序在预测志愿者的艺术偏好方面取得了成功，但研究人员表示，对于每个人品味的细微差别，我们还有很多需要了解的地方。O’Doherty说：“我们无法用这种方法解释个人偏好的某些方面。这种更独特的成分可能与过去的经历和其他可能影响评估的个人特质有关。”)”可推知，这项研究的下一步很可能是将额外的个人数据纳入预测模型。故选B。 D In high school, you have to take a lot of required courses, but you typically have some degree of choice. Your choices are often put into two broad categories. You have science, technology, engineering, and mathematics coursework in one, and arts and social studies in another. However, are art and science really that different? There are certainly key differences between doing science and making art. The goal of science is to create new understanding of how the world works and develop practical solutions that address challenges, such as climate change. Artists attempt to call up a sense of beauty or an emotional reaction through their work — whether it’s in dance, music, painting, or other art form. Science is designed to be objective and guided by data; art is subjective and deeply influenced by feelings and opinions. While the outcomes of science and art are quite different, the processes involved have certain similarities. There are plenty of real-life examples showing that people can be interested in both art and science — you don’t have to choose one over the other. Perhaps the best known Western historical figure who was both artist and scientist is Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci is famous for his paintings, particularly the Mona Lisa. But he was also known in many science and engineering fields; he dreamed up inventions far ahead of his time, including the parachute and calculator (计算器). Sometimes scientific discovery can best be understood by drawing artful comparisons. For example, Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity is sometimes poetically explained in a way that stimulates feelings: When sitting with someone you like, an hour is like a minute, but if you touch a hot stove (炉子), a minute is like an hour. All of this leads back to you and your choices and views of the arts and sciences. The process of inventing ourselves involves complex decisions, just as creating a new theory or composing a musical masterpiece does. How you’ll apply originality to decision-making will be up to you 12．What does para 2 mainly tell us about science and art? A．Their major differences. B．Their different goals. C．Their general functions. D．Their close relations. 13．What does the author mean by mentioning Da Vinci? A．Science and art have much in common. B．Everyone can develop in all sides. C．One can be good at both art and science. D．It’s crucial to make correct choices. 14．What does the explanation of Einstein’s theory suggest? A．Einstein’s theory of relativity is actually easy to learn. B．All scientific discoveries can be explained by comparison. C．Science can be more understandable by comparing artfully. D．Drawing artful comparisons is the best way to explain science. 15．What’s the author’s opinion about science and art? A．Science is more useful than art. B．They are different but related. C．Science can’t be understood without art. D．They have more similarities than differences. 【答案】12．A 13．C 14．C 15．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述科学与艺术虽在目标和性质上有差异，但过程存在相似，二者不同却又紧密相关 。 12．主旨大意题。根据第二段“There are certainly key differences between doing science and making art.(科学研究与艺术创作之间确实存在关键差异)”及后文对两者目标、性质的对比（科学旨在创造对世界运作的新理解，艺术试图唤起美感或情感反应；科学客观，艺术主观）可知，该段主要阐述科学与艺术的主要差异。故选A项。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段“There are plenty of real-life examples showing that people can be interested in both art and science — you don’t have to choose one over the other. Perhaps the best known Western historical figure who was both artist and scientist is Leonardo da Vinci. (有很多现实生活中的例子表明，人们对艺术和科学都感兴趣——你不必选择其中之一。也许最著名的西方历史人物，既是艺术家又是科学家，是莱昂纳多·达·芬奇)”可知，作者提及达・芬奇是为了证明“一个人可以同时擅长艺术和科学”。故选C项。 14．细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Sometimes scientific discovery can best be understood by drawing artful comparisons.(有时，科学发现可以通过巧妙的类比来最好地理解)”及后文爱因斯坦相对论的例子（用“和喜欢的人坐在一起”与“摸热炉子”类比时间感知）可知，该解释表明“通过巧妙的艺术类比，科学能更易被理解”。故选C项。 15．推理判断题。根据第二段“There are certainly key differences between doing science and making art.(科学研究与艺术创作之间确实存在关键差异)”和第三段首句“While the outcomes of science and art are quite different, the processes involved have certain similarities.(尽管科学和艺术的结果差异很大，但涉及的过程有一定相似性)”可知，作者认为科学与艺术“不同但相关”。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） In recent years, digital learning tools have reshaped classrooms. While interactive platforms and AI tutors promise personalized education, unregulated adoption may undermine (逐步削落) core values. A University of Cambridge study tracked 2,000 students across 15 countries. “Notifications and multimedia distractions create fragmented learning,” explains Dr. Elena Vasquez. 16 . Another concern is critical thinking erosion. “Outsourcing thinking weakens analytical skills,” warns Dr. Vasquez. 17 . Educators now advocate a hybrid approach. Finland’s pilot program replaced half of textbook lessons. Results showed a 22% improvement in problem-solving skills. 18 . UNESCO’s framework emphasizes intentional design: relevance, teacher autonomy, and student agency. For example, a history class might use VR to explore historical sites but require reflective essays afterward. 19 . “Technology should amplify, not replace, human interaction,” concludes Dr. Vasquez. As schools navigate digitalization, one truth remains: effective education requires balance. 20 . By prioritizing pedagogy (教学法) over tools, educators can empower learners without compromising foundational skills. A．Such activities deepen understanding, not replace critical thinking. B．This model shows tech can enhance, not disrupt, traditional methods. C．Schools must limit screen time and integrate mindfulness training. D．However, overreliance may hinder cognitive development. E．Curriculum reforms should emphasize metacognitive strategies. F．Digital tools improve engagement but reduce lecture focus. G．Teachers need training to curate relevant digital resources. 【答案】16．F 17．D 18．B 19．A 20．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了数字化学习工具对教育的影响，以及如何平衡技术使用与传统教育方法。 16．上文“Notifications and multimedia distractions create fragmented learning.(通知和多媒体干扰造成了碎片化学习)”指出数字学习工具带来的问题，即干扰学习。空处应继续说明数字工具带来的其他问题，选项F“数字工具提高了参与度，但降低了讲座的专注度”进一步说明了数字工具的负面影响，符合语境。故选F。 17．上文“Outsourcing thinking weakens analytical skills.(外包思维削弱了分析能力)”指出过度依赖数字工具可能削弱学生的分析能力。空处应继续说明过度依赖数字工具的负面影响，选项D“然而，过度依赖可能会阻碍认知发展”进一步强调了过度依赖数字工具的危害，符合语境。故选D。 18．上文“Finland’s pilot program replaced half of textbook lessons. Results showed a 22% improvement in problem-solving skills.(芬兰的试点项目取代了一半的教科书课程。结果显示，解决问题的能力提高了22%)”指出芬兰的试点项目通过结合数字工具和传统方法提高了学生的解决问题的能力。空处应继续说明这个试点项目的意义，选项B“这个模型表明，技术可以增强而不是破坏传统方法”总结了芬兰试点项目的意义，符合语境。故选B。 19．上文“For example, a history class might use VR to explore historical sites but require reflective essays afterward.(例如，历史课可能会使用虚拟现实技术来探索历史遗址，但之后要求学生写反思性文章)”指出在历史课上使用VR技术后，要求学生写反思性文章来加深理解。空处应继续说明这种做法的意义，选项A“这样的活动加深理解，而不是取代批判性思维”进一步解释了这种做法的意义。故选A。 20．上文“As schools navigate digitalization, one truth remains: effective education requires balance.(随着学校走向数字化，一个事实依然存在：有效的教育需要平衡)”强调了有效的教育需要平衡。空处应继续说明如何实现这种平衡，选项C“学校必须限制屏幕时间并融入正念训练”提出了实现平衡的具体措施。故选C。 第二部分 语言运用（共二节, 满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） Frankenstein On a stormy night in 1815, a young, 18-year-old girl had a 21 nightmare. The nightmare was terrible, but it gave her an idea for a tale — a tale that would become the most recognized 22 story in the world: the story of Frankenstein's monster. The author's name was Mary Shelley (1797 — 1851). Her novel describes the trials of an 23 young scientist, Dr Frankenstein, who uses his knowledge to bring an inanimate body to life, but then 24 the shocking “monster” he creates. At the time of writing, the story was a powerful warning 25 scientific advances and is the Industrial Revolution, which was about 26 across Europe. Many artists and writers were concerned 27 this industrialization and the effect it would have 28 man's relationship with nature. They saw danger in the new scientific advances. Volume 1, Chapter 4 It was on a dreary night in November that I completed my work. With an anxiety that almost 29 to pain, I collected the instruments of life around me that I might add a small amount of being to the lifeless thing that 30 at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain fell dismally against the windows, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the failing light, I saw the yellow eye of the 31 open; it breathed hard, and a sudden movement disturbed its arms and legs. How can I describe my emotions at this disaster, or how to describe the terrible creature I had tried to form? His arms and legs were in proportion, and I had selected his 32 as beautiful. Beautiful! His yellow skin 33 covered the muscles beneath; his hair was black and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness that formed a horrible contrast with his watery eyes, his 34 face and straight black mouth. I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the only purpose of breathing life into an inanimate body. For this I had 35 myself of rest and health, but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream disappeared, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. 21．A．moral B．vivid C．massive D．pure 22．A．horror B．motivation C．peak D．charm 23．A．elegant B．ambitious C．innocent D．patient 24．A．rejects B．boosts C．hacks D．rebels 25．A．at B．with C．against D．of 26．A．spread B．spreading C．to spread D．to spreading 27．A．at B．to C．about D．with 28．A．at B．to C．about D．on 29．A．amounted B．attained C．combined D．engaged 30．A．lies B．lied C．laid D．lay 31．A．creature B．cage C．civilian D．comedy 32．A．features B．settings C．symbols D．professions 33．A．universally B．barely C．unrealistically D．artificially 34．A．shifted B．rooted C．eased D．wrinkled 35．A．deprived B．behaved C．decreased D．tackled 【答案】 21．B 22．A 23．B 24．A 25．C 26．B 27．C 28．D 29．A 30．D 31．A 32．A 33．B 34．D 35．A 【导语】这篇文章是《弗兰肯斯坦》创作背景及小说节选。它旨在向读者客观介绍这部经典作品的创作背景、核心内容、时代意义，并通过节选提供文本例证，帮助读者理解这部作品。 21．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：1815年一个暴风雨的夜晚，一位18岁的年轻女孩做了一个清晰的噩梦。A. moral 道德的；B. vivid 生动的，清晰的；C. massive 大量的；D. pure 纯净的。此空需要一个形容词修饰“nightmare”。B项“vivid”意为“生动的，逼真的”，能体现出噩梦的清晰和真实感，这也与后文“it gave her an idea for a tale”对女孩产生的影响相呼应。故选B项。 22．考查名词词义辨析。句意：那个噩梦十分可怕，却它给了她一个故事的灵感——这个故事日后将成为全世界最广为人知的恐怖故事：弗兰肯斯坦的怪物传说。A. horror 恐怖；B. motivation 动机；C. peak 顶峰；D. charm 魅力。 根据前文的“nightmare”可推测，这个故事是恐怖的，“horror”表示“恐怖”，并且根据常识，《弗兰肯斯坦》是经典的恐怖故事，符合其文学类型。故选A项。 23．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：她的小说描述了一位有雄心的年轻科学家弗兰肯斯坦博士的试验。A. elegant 优雅的；B. ambitious 有雄心的；C. innocent 无辜的；D. patient 耐心的。空格修饰“young scientist”， 结合后文“uses his knowledge to bring an inanimate body to life”可知他用知识赋予无生命体生命，是其有雄心的体现。故选B项。 24．考查动词词义辨析。句意：弗兰肯斯坦博士用学识赋予无生命体以生命，却拒绝他亲手创造的骇人怪物。A. rejects 拒绝，排斥；B. boosts 推广；C. hacks 砍，非法侵入；D. rebels 反叛。 空格描述弗兰肯斯坦对他创造的怪物的反应。根据空前弗兰肯斯坦博士用学识赋予无生命体以生命， 再结合but 以及后文“breathless horror and disgust”描述他感到喘不过气的恐惧和厌恶，可推测他是拒绝接受自己创造的怪物，A项最准确描述了他的态度和行动。故选A项。 25．考查介词辨析。句意：在创作这部小说时，这个故事是对科学进步以及即将蔓延欧洲的工业革命的有力警示。A. at 在……；B. with 带有 ；C. against 反对；D. of ……的。根据本段最后一句“They saw danger in the new scientific advances.”可知强调的是科学进步的危险，C项 against 符合语意。故选C项。 26．考查固定搭配。句意：在创作这部小说时，这个故事是对科学进步以及即将蔓延欧洲的工业革命的有力警示。A. spread 传播(过去式/过去分词)；B. spreading 传播(现在分词/动名词)；C. to spread 传播(不定式)；D. to spreading 传播(介词+动名词)。根据文章第一段给的时间点1815年，以及上文“the story was a powerful warning 5 scientific advances and is the Industrial Revolution”结合常识可知，1815年工业革命处于向欧洲扩散的进程中，非“即将开始”。“be about doing”表示“正在进行某事”（动作已开始），更符合工业革命在1815年的历史阶段。故选B项。 27．考查介词词义辨析。句意：许多艺术家和作家对这种工业化以及它将对人类与自然的关系产生的影响感到担忧。A. at 在；B. to 向，对于；C. about 关于；D. with 和……一起。分析句子结构可知，空格需与“concerned”搭配。“concerned about”是固定搭配，意为“对……担忧”。故选C项。 28．考查介词词义辨析。句意：许多艺术家和作家对这种工业化以及它将对人类与自然的关系产生的影响感到担忧。A. at 在；B. to 向，对于；C. about 关于；D. on 在……上，关于。分析句子结构可知，空格需与“effect”搭配。“effect on”是固定搭配，意为“对……的影响”。故选D项。 29．考查动词词义辨析。 句意：我怀着一种几乎为痛苦的焦虑，将生命的工具聚集在身边，想为我脚下那个躺着的无生命之物增添一丝生气。 A. amounted 总计达；B. attained 达到，获得；C. combined 结合；D. engaged 从事。空格动词需与“to”搭配，描述焦虑的程度。结合语意“焦虑几乎达到了痛苦的程度”，“amounted to”有“相当于，达到……程度”的含义，符合句意。故选A项。 30．考查动词词义辨析。 句意：我怀着一种几乎为痛苦的焦虑，将生命的工具聚集在身边，想为我脚下那个躺着的无生命之物增添一丝生气。A. lies 撒谎，位于，躺(lie的单三形式)；B. lied 撒谎(lie的过去式)；C. laid 放置(lay的过去式)；D. lay 躺，位于(lie的过去式)。 空格描述无生命之物的状态。根据常识和上下文“I saw the yellow eye”可推测是向下看,看到了黄色的眼睛，所以它应该是“躺”或“位于”在他脚边。故选D项。 31．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我看到那生物的黄色眼睛睁开了。 A. creature 生物；B. cage 笼子；C. civilian 平民；D. comedy 喜剧。空格修饰yellow eye，这眼睛属于弗兰肯斯坦刚刚赋予生命的那个东西。前文称它为“the lifeless thing”，后文称它为“the terrible creature”，A项符合语意。故选A项。 32．考查名词词义辨析。句意：它的四肢比例协调，而且我选择让它有一个好看的外貌。A. features 面貌；B. settings 环境，设置；C. symbols 特征；D. professions 职业。 空格指弗兰肯斯坦为他的创造物选择的“美丽的”部分。根据后文描述（皮肤、头发、牙齿、眼睛、脸、嘴），他是在描述其身体特征。 故选A项。 33．考查副词词义辨析。句意：它那黄色的皮肤几乎遮不住下面的肌肉 。A. universally 普遍地；B. barely 几乎不；C. unrealistically 不现实地；D. artificially 人工地。空格修饰“covered”，描述黄色皮肤覆盖肌肉的程度。后文说皮肤与肌肉形成对比，且整体描述非常恐怖。后文“formed a horrible contrast”表明皮肤的状态不佳（黄色）与下面的肌肉形成可怕对比。B项barely表示皮肤很薄，几乎遮不住肌肉，能解释这种恐怖效果，符合怪物外貌的恐怖描述。故选B项。 34．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它的头发乌黑飘逸；它那珍珠般洁白的牙齿与它那水汪汪的眼睛、满是褶皱的面容和笔直的黑嘴巴形成了可怕的对比。A. shifted 改变的；B. rooted 扎根的；C. eased 放松的；D.wrinkled 有皱纹的。结合语意，这里说怪物的脸满是褶皱，十分吓人，故选D项。 35．考查动词词义辨析。 句意：为了这个目的，我剥夺了自己的休息时间和健康。A. deprived 剥夺；B. behaved 表现；C. decreased 减少；D. tackled 处理，应付。 空格动词需与“myself of rest and health”搭配。结合上文“I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the only purpose of breathing life into an inanimate body”这里说作者为了给无生命的物体注入生命，几乎两年努力工作，推测为此剥夺了自己的休息时间和健康。“deprive oneself of sth”是固定搭配，意为“使自己丧失某物，剥夺自己的某物”，符合句意。故选A项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Calligraphy, one of the most valued traditional Chinese arts, has a history spanning thousands of years. It involves the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush, where every stroke (笔画) 36 (carry) profound cultural meanings. In a recent cultural event in Shanghai, ancient Chinese calligraphy met modern digital art. At the event, digital screens 37 (use) to display high-definition images of classic calligraphy masterpieces. Moreover, advanced interactive technology allowed visitors to 38 (virtual) “pick up” a digital brush and imitate the writing process of these masters on the screen. Sensors were installed (安装) to capture the pressure, speed, and trajectory (运动轨迹) of the “brush strokes,” providing real-. time feedback on the 39 (accurate) of the imitation. Li Ming, a young visitor, enjoyed the experience. “It’s hard to find a calligraphy teacher, 40 this digital tool lets me learn at my own pace with instant guidance. It’s 41 having a private tutor.” He said. This combination of tradition and technology not only attracts youth to the art but also offers new ways of preservation. By digitizing calligraphy works, they can be better protected from time and environmental damage, while online platforms globalise access, breaking 42 (geography) barriers. Moreover, artists now use AI 43 (craft) calligraphy-inspired works. Algorithms (算法) analyze classic structures and styles to generate new character combinations, 44 are then translated into digital or physical artworks. This enriches calligraphy’s creative forms, 45 (bring) fresh vitality (活力) into the ancient art in the digital era. 【答案】 36．carries 37．were used 38．virtually 39．accuracy 40．but 41．like 42．geographical 43．to craft 44．which 45．bringing 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了传统书法艺术与现代数字技术相结合，为书法传承与创新带来新机遇。 36．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它涉及用毛笔书写汉字的艺术，每一笔都承载着深厚的文化内涵。根据前文“It involves the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush”可知，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，且主语every stroke是单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填carries。 37．考查动词时态和语态。句意：在活动中，数字屏幕被用来展示经典书法杰作的高清图像。根据前文“In a recent cultural event in Shanghai”可知，句子描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，且主语digital screens和动词use之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用were。故填were used。 38．考查副词。句意：此外，先进的交互技术允许参观者虚拟地“拿起”数字画笔，并在屏幕上模仿这些大师的书写过程。根据空后动词短语“pick up”可知，空处需用副词virtually修饰动词短语作状语。故填virtually。 39．考查名词。句意：传感器被安装来捕捉“笔触”的压力、速度和轨迹，为模仿的准确性提供实时反馈。根据空前定冠词the和空后介词of可知，空处需用名词accuracy，表示“准确性”，作介词on的宾语。故填accuracy。 40．考查连词。句意：“很难找到书法老师，但这个数字工具让我可以按照自己的节奏学习，并得到即时指导。这就像有一个私人导师。”他说。根据前后句意可知，此处为转折关系，应用连词but连接。故填but。 41．考查介词。句意同上。根据句意可知，此处表示“就像”，应用介词like。故填like。 42．考查形容词。句意：通过将书法作品数字化，可以更好地保护它们免受时间和环境的损害，而在线平台则使全球访问成为可能，打破了地理障碍。根据空后名词barriers可知，空处需用形容词geographical“地理的”修饰名词barriers，作定语。故填geographical。 43．考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，艺术家们现在使用人工智能来创作受书法启发的作品。use sth. to do sth.为固定用法，意为“使用某物做某事”，所以空处需用动词不定式形式。故填to craft。 44．考查定语从句。句意：算法分析经典结构和风格，生成新的字符组合，然后将其转化为数字或实物艺术品。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是new character combinations，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以空处需用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。 45．考查非谓语动词。句意：这丰富了书法的创作形式，为数字时代的古老艺术带来了新的活力。空处需用非谓语动词作结果状语，此处表示一种自然而然的结果，所以空处需用现在分词bringing。故填bringing。 第三部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46．假定你是李华，上周五你参加了学校举办的科技节，主题为“人工智能与未来”（AI and the Future）。请你给英国朋友Peter写一封邮件分享这次经历。内容包括： 1. 活动亮点; 2. 你的感想。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右; 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, I’m writing to share with you the unforgettable experience at our school’s Science and Technology Festival last Friday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

The machine delivered an apology video from Karl Anderson, a former colleague who sabotaged Winston’s job application at Future Industries nine years prior. Karl confessed to spreading rumors that Winston was “impossible to work with,” driven by fear of competition. Initially furious—“THAT SCOUNDREL!”—Winston recalled his dashed career hopes. Yet his wife Elizabeth reminded him: missing that job led him to IndustriCorp, where they met, married, and had their daughter Rachel. “Things worked out just fine,” she said. Winston accepted Karl’s apology, realizing life’s unexpected blessings. The robot then demanded Winston record his own apology, calibrated to match Karl’s in “value.” His trivial confessions—scratching a hover-bike, childhood theft—were rejected as “insufficient.” Finally, Winston recalled breaking Cherisse’s heart at 22. The robot approved: “Value is sufficient.” As Winston apologized for fleeing love out of fear, he felt “lighter,” mirroring Karl’s catharsis. The robot departed to deliver both messages. Watching it vanish into the night, Winston—inspired—declared: “I’m going to build a robot.” This encounter bridged past regrets and present gratitude. Winston’s journey from resentment to forgiveness, and his resolve to create his own reconciling machine, underscored the transformative power of accountability and serendipity. 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。 With tools scattered across the workbench, Winston stared at the blueprints of his homemade robot, determined to create a machine that could heal broken relationships. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, when he activated the robot for the first time, its screen flickered unexpectedly, displaying a familiar face from his past. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With tools scattered across the workbench, Winston stared at the blueprints of his homemade robot, determined to create a machine that could heal broken relationships. Winston’s robot, designed with emotional recognition algorithms guiding users to vulnerability over hollow apologies, emerged from nights soldering circuits. Testing staged a sandbox quarrel, the bot asking, “What hurt your heart?” sparked tearful reconciliation. Yet doubting machinery’s capacity for human messiness, he added a “silent listening” mode, inspired by Karl’s video resolving rage. However, when he activated the robot for the first time, its screen flickered unexpectedly, displaying a familiar face from his past. Cherisse’s aged yet unmistakable features materialized, eyes filled with tears. The machine had tracked her down, cross-referencing Winston’s apology with her digital footprints. “Message pending delivery,” it intoned. Winston’s hands trembled. Before he could abort, Cherisse’s live response played: “I waited years to hear that.” Her voice softened. “But seeing you build this… maybe some fractures make room for better things.” The camera captured Winston’s stunned reflection beside Rachel’s crayon drawings, weaving past and present into a single frame of healing. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了​工程师Winston因机器人收到前同事Karl的道歉视频，回忆起九年前被陷害失去工作的痛苦，却在妻子Elizabeth的开导下领悟人生转折。受机器人启发，他录制对初恋Cherisse的迟来忏悔，完成自我救赎后，决心开发能修复人际关系的AI机器，在技术中融合情感与宽恕。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段句首内容“工作台上散落着工具，温斯顿盯着自制机器人的蓝图，决心打造一台能修复破裂人际关系的机器。”可知，第一段可描写温斯顿研发机器人引导用户直面脆弱，测试中成功调解沙盘争吵，并增设“静默倾听”模式以修复关系裂痕。 ②由第二段句首内容“然而首次启动时，屏幕突然闪烁，浮现出一个来自往昔的熟悉面容。”可知，第二段可描写温斯顿首次启动机器人时，意外触发前女友Cherisse的数字化身现身，通过追踪道歉记录促成迟来和解，过去与当下在瑞秋涂鸦中交织治愈。 2. 续写线索：研发动机​​→​​开发过程​​→​​​​自我怀疑与改进​​→​​​​首次启动意外​​→​​​​跨时空对话​​→​​​​象征性治愈​​ 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①激励：inspired → motivated / influenced by​​ ​​②颤抖：trembled → shook / quivered​​ ③变得温柔：softened → lowered / gentled​​ ④记录：​​captured → recorded / documented​​ 情绪类 ①决心：determined → resolved ②愤怒：rage →anger ③质疑：doubting → questioning / skeptical of / uncertain about​​ ④震惊：​​stunned →astonished​​ 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Yet doubting machinery’s capacity for human messiness, he added a “silent listening” mode, inspired by Karl’s video resolving rage. （运用了非谓语作状语，运用了非谓语作定语） 【高分句型2】 Before he could abort, Cherisse’s live response played: “I waited years to hear that.” （运用了before引导时间状语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
