It has a seemingly bottomless well of dining options. Here are some suggestions on where to start your Bangkok eating adventure. Nahm Offering Thai fine dining, Nahm provides the best of Bangkok culinary (烹饪的) experiences. It’s the only Thai restaurant that ranks among the top 10 of the world’s 50 best restaurants list. Head Chef David Thompson, who received a Michelin star for his London-based Thai restaurant of the same name, opened this branch in the Metropolitan Hotel in 2010. Issaya Siamese Club Issaya Siamese Club is internationally known Thai chef Ian Kittichai’s first flagship Bangkok restaurant.

Bo.lan Bo.lan has been making waves in Bangkok’s culinary scene since it opened in 2009. Serving hard-to-find Thai dishes in an elegant atmosphere, the restaurant is true to Thai cuisine’s roots, yet still manages to add a special twist. This place is good for a candle-lit dinner or a work meeting with colleagues who appreciate fine food. For those extremely hungry, there’s a large set menu. Gaggan Earning first place on the latest “Asia’s 50 best restaurants” list, progressive Indian restaurant Gaggan is one of the most exciting venues (场所) to arrive in Bangkok in recent years.

It serves hard-to-find local dishes. D. It shows the cooking process to guests. B It was bad enough having an invalid brother. However, one afternoon as I watched him, my head poked between the iron posts of the foot of the bed, he looked straight at me and grinned. I skipped through the rooms, shouting, “Mama, he smiled. He’s all there!”. As long as he lay all the time in bed, we called him William Armstrong, even though it was formal and sounded as if we were referring to one of our ancestors. But with his creeping around on the deerskin rug and beginning to talk, something had to be done about his name. It was I who renamed him. When he crawled, he crawled backwards, as if he were in reverse and couldn’t change gears. If you called him, he’d turn around as if he were going in the other direction, then he’d back right up to you to be picked up. Crawling backward made him look like a doodlebug, so I began to call him Doodle. Renaming my brother was perhaps the kindest thing I ever did for him, because nobody expects much of someone called Doodle. Although Doodle learned to crawl, he showed no signs of walking, but he wasn’t idle. He talked so much that we all quit listening to what he said. It was about this time that Daddy built him a go-cart and I had to pull him around. The moment I picked up my cap, he started crying to go with me and Mama would call from wherever she was, “Take Doodle with you”. He was a burden in many ways. The doctor had said that he mustn’t get too excited, too hot, too cold, or too tired and that he must always be treated gently — a long list of don’ts went with him. His skin was very sensitive, and he had to wear a big straw hat whenever he went out. When the going got rough and he had to climb to the sides of the go-cart, the hat slipped all the way down over his ears. He was a sight. Suddenly, I could see I was licked. Doodle was my brother and he was going to cling to me forever, no matter what I did. I dragged him across the burning cotton field to share with him the only beauty I knew, Old Woman Swamp. His eyes were round with wonder as he gazed, and his little hands began to stroke the rubber grass. Then he began to cry. “For heaven’s sake, what’s the matter?” I asked, annoyed. “It’s so pretty,” he said. “So pretty, pretty, pretty.” 24. The narrator renamed their brother “Doodle” because ________. A. his name sounds too much like that of an ancestor’s B. he was always lost and couldn’t change gears C. his movement resembled a doodlebug D. he liked to play with doodlebugs 25. By “I could see I was licked （Paragraph 3）”, the narrator implied that ________. A. He was aware that he was licked by B. He was embarrassed by Doodle’s clumsiness C. He felt defeated by Doodle’s constant demands D. He realized Doodle would always be a part of his life 26. What can you infer from the passage about the narrator’s feelings towards Doodle? A. He was indifferent to what Doodle was doing B. He resented Doodle for the attention he received C. He felt a mix of annoyance and affection for Doodle D. He felt proud of Doodle’s progress and achievements. C Universities have boomed in recent decades. In theory, universities should be an excellent source of productivity growth. In practice, however, the great expansion of higher education has coincided with a productivity slowdown. A new paper by Ashish Arora and his colleagues, suggests that universities’ rapid growth and the rich world’s stagnant productivity could be two sides of the same coin. The new paper makes a subtle but devastating suggestion: that when it came to delivering productivity gains, the old, big-business model of science worked better than the new, university-led one. Broadly, they find that scientific breakthroughs from public institutions “elicit little or no response from established corporations” over a number of years. A researcher in a university lab might publish brilliant papers after brilliant paper, pushing the front of a discipline. Often, however, this has no impact on corporations’ own publications, their patents or the number of scientists that they employ. And this, in turn, points to a small impact on economy-wide productivity. Why do companies struggle to use ideas produced by universities? The loss of the corporate lab is one part of the answer. Such institutions were home to a lively mixture of thinkers and doers. In the 1940s Bell Labs had the interdisciplinary team of chemists, metallurgists and physicists necessary to solve the overlapping theoretical and practical problems associated with developing the transistor. That cross-cutting expertise is now largely gone. Another part of the answer concerns universities. Free from the demands of corporate overloads, research focuses more on satisfying geeks’ curiosity or boosting citation counts than on finding breakthroughs that will change the world or make money. In moderation, research for research’s sake is no bad thing; some breakthrough technologies, such as penicillin, were discovered almost by accident. But if everyone is arguing over how many angels dance on the head of a pin, the economy suffers. When higher-education institutions do produce work that is more relevant to the real world, the consequences are troubling. As universities produce more fresh PhD graduates, companies seem to find it easier to invent new stuff. Yet universities’ patents have an offsetting effect, provoking corporations to produce fewer patents themselves. It is possible that existing businesses, worried about competition from university spinoffs, cut back on research and development (R&D) in that field. Although no one knows for sure how these opposing effects balance out, the authors point to a net decline in corporate patenting of about 1.5% a year. The vast fiscal resources devoted to public science, in other words, probably make businesses across the rich world less innovative. Perhaps, with time, universities and the corporate sector will work together more profitably. And corporate researchers, rather than universities, are driving the current generative AI innovation boom: in a few cases, the corporate lab has already risen from the ashes. At some point, though, governments will need to ask themselves hard questions. In a world of weak economic growth, generous public support for universities may come to seem an unjustifiable luxury. 27. According to the text Arora and his colleagues find that ________. A. universities have long been an important source of productivity growth B. universities’ scientific outputs don’t really impact established corporations C. university-led model of science is delivering fewer scientific breakthroughs D. big businesses are slow to absorb innovative ideas produced by universities 28. Bell Labs are mentioned in the text to ________. A. honor their key contributions to scientific development B. highlight a successful corporate-university partnership C. indicate the essential components of successful corporate labs D. mourn the bygone days of multidisciplinary corporate research 29. What does the word “offsetting” probably mean? A. weakening B. boosting C. stabilizing D. disrupting 30. Which of the following statements will the author most likely agree with? A. Universities should expand their collaboration with corporations. B. Universities should play a bigger role in developing generative AI. C. The government should put in effort to revive corporate labs. D. The government should reduce public support for universities. D The industrial revolution was one of the most important events in human history. Over a handful of decades, technological breakthroughs kicked economic output off its centuries-long low plateau and sent populations, living standards and life expectancy soaring. Yet for all its vital importance, there is still disagreement over why all this took off. One of the most compelling arguments comes from US economic historian Robert Allen, who argues that Britain’s successes in commerce in the 16th and 17th centuries pushed wages up and energy costs down, creating strong incentives to substitute energy and capital for labor and to mechanize manufacturing processes. Others place greater emphasis on the role of UK institutions, while some argue that innovative ideas emerged as a result of increasing interactions among growing and densifying populations. Another interesting theory is that of economic historian Joel Mokyr, who argues that it was broader cultural change that laid the groundwork for the industrial revolution. Prominent British thinkers including Francis Bacon and Isaac Newton championed a progress-oriented view of the world, centered on the idea that science and experimentation were key to increasing human wellbeing. While persuasive, Mokyr’s theory has until recently been only that: a theory. But a fascinating paper published last month puts some evidence behind the argument. The researchers analyzed the contents of 173,031 books printed in England between 1500 and 1900, tracking how the frequency of different terms changed over time. They found a marked increase in the use of terms related to progress and innovation starting in the early 17th century. Extending the same analysis to the present, a striking picture emerges: over the past 60 years the west has begun to shift away from the culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion, with economic growth slowing over the same period. The frequency of terms related to progress, improvement and the future has dropped by about 25 percent since the 1960s, while those related to threats, risks and worries have become several times more common. That simultaneous rise in language associated with caution could well be not a coincidence but an equal and opposite force acting against growth and progress. Ruxandra Teslo, one of a growing community of progress-focused writers at the Nexus of science, economics and policy, argues that the growing skepticism around technology and the rise in zero-sum thinking in modern society is one of the defining ideological challenges of our time. Some may counter that a rebalancing of priorities from perpetual advancement to caution is a good thing, but this could be a catastrophic mistake. As well as economic growth, the drive for progress brought us modern medicine, significantly longer and healthier lives, plentiful food supplies, dramatic reductions in poverty, and ever more and ever cheaper renewable energy. The challenges facing the modern world will be solved by more focus on progress, not less. If we are to avoid backsliding, advocates for innovation, growth and abundance must defeat the doomers. 31 What is suggested about the industrial revolution from the first two paragraphs? A. Its cause is a subject of ongoing scholarly debate. B. Its progress triggered Britain’s institutional reforms. C. Its success is mainly due to British economic policies. D. Its innovations increased interactions among populations 32. Which of the following is true of Mokyr’s theory? A. It owes the industrial revolution to commercial success. B. Its persuasiveness is supported by abundant evidence. C. It stresses the role of cultural change in promoting progress. D. Its focus is on the impact of science upon cultural change. 33. Ruxandra Teslo argues that modern society is ________. A. increasingly focused on technological advances B. prioritizing economic growth over science C. struggling with technological skepticism D. being shaped by multiple ideologies 34. What might be the best title for this article? A. The Industrial Revolution: Key Inventions and Economic Impact B. Progress Culture: Its Role in History and Risks of Decline Today C. Debating Technological Skepticism: Pros and Cons of Caution D. How Economic Growth Slows: Analyzing 60 Years of Data 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Improve Your Handwriting With most of today’s written communication typed out, you may not see much of a reason to improve your handwriting. But from time to time, you still need to fill out paper forms — and that’s exactly when you’ll realize your script looks not great. ___35___ You can start by giving yourself a fighting chance: sit down at a stable, spacious table or desk where you can write at your leisure. ___36___ If you’re a leftie, stay away from broad-nibbed fountain pens that might dispense a lot of ink with each stroke — you’ll likely end up with smudged words all over your page as your hand crosses your freshly written letters. Gel pens and ballpoint pens are usually quick-drying, so starting with those is a good idea. Righties have fewer restrictions, as most writing tools work well for them. Once you have your tools and setup, it’s time to write. ___37___ It can be anything: a story, your train of thought, or a transcription of a song you like. When you write, do it at a normal pace and pay attention to how you hold the pen. If your nails turn white from the force you’re exerting, your grip is too strong — relax your hand and try again. This is important because an excessively strong grip will lead to pain and discomfort, which can result in hand and wrist cramping, or even injury. On top of that, pain will affect the consistency of your handwriting and eventually deter you from putting pen to paper at all, rendering this whole process useless. ___38___ Pay attention to spacing, the slant of your letters, their height, their form, and their position relative to the guidelines you’re using. The most important elements to focus on are consistency and legibility, so go through your lines and highlight which words and letters differ most from the rest, and which could be misread. You know repetition is key to learning, and only through writing — again and again — will your body get used to the changes you want to make to your personal script. ___39___ You can do this by taking up a hobby like journaling or meditative writing. This will give you the opportunity to sit down for a few minutes each day and put your growing skills to good use. A. Then get a pen you like. B. Next, find a paper layout angle that suits your writing. C. Start by filling half to a whole page with fresh handwriting. D. The good news is, it’s never too late to get better at handwriting. E. When you’re done writing your practice page, take a look and analyze it. F. You can also write down your own train of thought if you can keep up with it. G. A helpful way to practice is to make these exercises part of your everyday life. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 When Dr. Henderson was assigning project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have fun with. Above all, I prayed he wouldn’t assign me to work with that fiercely competitive, overly serious fellow who always wore dark clothes — his personality seemed to match his attire. But fate had other plans: Dr. Henderson deliberately paired everyone up and announced I’d be working with the very person I’d wanted to avoid. I approached my new teammate to introduce myself, but he looked at me as if I weren’t even there. I felt he saw me as dead weight, someone who might keep him from getting an A. He wasn’t mean, just distant — like he’d fare better tackling the project alone. Needless to say, I dreaded an entire term of being brushed off. But I bit my tongue, trying to make the best of it, afraid of making things worse. The project required developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, conducting statistical analysis, and presenting findings — with both teammates sharing the final grade. When we met to discuss plans, I felt uneasy. Here was this intense student, known for single - minded focus and top grades — the polar opposite of me. I even thought about dropping the class but held back, not wanting him to see me chicken out. I resolved to stick it out. After lengthy discussions, we settled on studying teenagers’ psychological well-being. I wasn’t sure what that entailed, but at least we had a topic. We met regularly to plan, but I hesitated to share ideas, fearing I’d hold him back. I just nodded when he asked if things were okay this way or that, figuring persuading him was impossible. I started counting the minutes until we could leave — and he seemed to do the same. I just wanted presentation day to come sooner. Then I heard he’d been admitted to the hospital with a serious illness. I felt terrible and knew I had to visit. He looked surprised when I walked into his ward with flowers and fruit. I offered to finish the project, and to my shock, he asked me to share my ideas to improve it. We finally worked as a real team, finishing on time. Our hard work paid off — Dr. Henderson was thrilled with our findings. Through it all, we learned the true value of teamwork. As they say, one person can go fast, but together we can go far. 40 Whom did I expect to work with on the project? ________________________________________________________________ 41. What did Dr. Henderson’s assignment involve? ________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. When he asked if things were okay this way or that, I just nodded because his ideas were rather persuasive. ________________________________________________________________ 43. What would you do if you were teamed up with someone you don’t like for a project? （In about 40 words） ________________________________________________________________ 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是高三学生李华，你的国际好友Jim来信询问你的暑假生活。请你用英文给他回信，内容包括： 1.简要介绍你的暑假； 2.分享你暑假做的一件有意义的事。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 人大附中2026届高三8月自主复习检测练习 英语 说明：本试卷共8页，共100分；考试时间90分钟；请在答题卡上填写个人信息，并将条形码贴在答题卡的相应位置上。 第一部分：知识运用（共两节，30分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1.

When he asked if things were okay this way or that, I just nodded because his ideas were rather persuasive. According to the text, the author just nodded not because the teammate’s ideas were persuasive, but because he hesitated to share his own ideas (fearing he’d hold the teammate back) and thought persuading the teammate was impossible. 43. I would prioritize the project goal, communicate respectfully, and divide tasks clearly. Even if personalities clash, focusing on shared responsibilities helps achieve success. Teamwork requires patience and professionalism. 第二节（20分） 【44题答案】 【答案】One possible version: Dear Jim, I’m glad to hear from you! My summer vacation was both relaxing and meaningful. After months of intense study, I finally had time to recharge. One of the most meaningful things during the summer vacation was volunteering at a local community center. I helped teach English to younger kids and organized fun learning activities. It was challenging at first, but seeing their progress and smiles made it all worthwhile. I also improved my communication skills and gained a deeper sense of responsibility. Besides volunteering, I spent time reading, exercising, and catching up with family. It was a balanced and fulfilling break. Looking forward to hearing about your summer too! Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
