I paused to take a few careful sips of water — only enough to moisten my tongue, since the bottle was already half-empty — and weigh my options. The shade from the trees did little to ease the burning sun as I struggled to make sense of the maps. The original plan was to stay overnight at a tourist park near Logue Brook Dam, where I could finally reach my wife, but right then, I didn’t have the faintest idea where I was. Wearily, I pushed myself upright, remounted my bike and started to double back in the hope of spotting clear trail markers, but this only made things worse: the trees seemed to press in around me as I desperately scanned for landmarks — and the cicadas (蝉) had erupted into a deafening chorus. After cycling slowly along the sandy trail for about two hours, I was delighted to see seemingly recent cycle tracks. Encouraged, I moved on, keeping a sharp eye on the tracks. However, I soon realised that they were my own. I was covering the same ground. Discouraged, I lay my bike aside, and sank down under a tree with a heavy sigh. I had no more water, and my tongue felt swollen. I felt sleepy as groups of flies settled on me in a vain attempt to find dampness. A sudden warm breeze stirred me. I opened my eyes, caught the distant hum of an engine, and glanced weakly upward, yet the sound faded away. After a short while, I heard it once more, but this time it seemed nearer. I dragged my feet and marched toward the source of the sound. When I made it to the top of the hill, I gasped in utter disbelief. There in front of me lay Logue Brook Dam, with boats pulling water skiers and folks sunbathing out in the open. I went back to my bicycle, pushed it up the hill, and let it coast into the lovely cool waters of the dam, where I rolled around wearing my full cycling gear. 4. What can be inferred about the 1st paragraph? A. The author desperately contacted his wife at the tourist park. B. The author found the trail markers easily after doubling back. C. The author felt confused and helpless in the current environment. D. The cicadas’ noise was so loud that the author couldn’t find landmarks. 5. When did the author realize he was cycling in circles? A. When trail markers disappeared. B. When he recognized his own bike tracks. C. When the loud cicada noises disturbed him. D. When he noticed the change in sandy trail conditions. 6. Why were the flies mentioned? A. To show he was awed at the abundant wildlife. B. To describe the surroundings were becoming tougher. C. To illustrate his physical discomfort was intensifying. D. To inform he unconsciously entered a dangerous zone. 7. What happened to the author in the end? A. He deserted his bike near the coast. B. He failed to locate the dam and gave up. C. He pushed his bike and rolled about the dam. D. He had the bike freewheel downhill and had fun. C Soaring above a desert expanse in an aircraft, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour’s flight, one of the scientists jotted in his book, “Look here for probable metal”. Meanwhile, aboard another plane cruising over a mountainous terrain, scientists sent a message to other counterparts on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists documented their findings,” This ground should be searched for metals. “From an airplane hovering over a hilly wasteland, a scientist sent back by radio one word,” Uranium.” None of the scientists possessed X-ray eyes: they had no supernatural powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely employing one of the most cutting- edge methodologies for locating minerals in the ground—using trees and plants as indicative markers that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants take root and flourish. This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. Analysis of the roots, branches, and seeds disclosed an absence of silver. But small amounts of gold were detected in the roots, with lower gold concentrations present in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches. Had the trees not provided indications of gold in the ground, the scientists would not have allocated funds for digging into the depths. They did excavate and uncovered additional gold reserves below the surface. Further digging revealed substantial quantities of the precious metal. 8. Why could scientists tell possible mineral existence from plants? A. Scientists are trained to see through the earth’s surface and detect minerals. B. Some minerals deep in the earth can influence the type of surface vegetation. C. The roots can absorb and transport minerals to branches and seeds in large quantities. D. Plants growing in mineral- rich areas have unique shapes easy to identify from the air. 9. The study of the plants’ roots, branches, and seeds suggests that ________. A. branches tend to hold more gold than roots B. roots contain less gold than seeds near the trunk C. gold content in branches far from the trunk is higher than in seeds D. seeds closer to the trunk likely have more gold than those at branch ends 10. How does the writer support trees and plants indicate minerals? A. By presenting a case study. B. By listing different types of minerals. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining the chemical mechanism. 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Scientists Study Tree Components for Gold. B. Trees and Plants: Clues to Underground Minerals. C. New Ways of searching for Underground Minerals. D. The Process of Gold Exploration in Trees and Plants. D Regardless of how famous they are, and despite the star treatment they receive, many celebrities make it a point to give back to charities. Some have even set up their own private foundations. Their widely publicised visits to troubled areas of the world help to raise awareness of issues such as famine and poverty. According to Jane Cooper of Unicef UK, celebrities have a unique ability to reach huge numbers of people, many of whom might not otherwise be engaged in charitable causes. She pointed out that famous faces had played a significant role in raising funds in recent years, and their energies had produced tangible results, such as enabling millions of children in poorer countries to attend school. But in spite of these successes, there is evidence to suggest that celebrity endorsement (代言) may be overrated. In a survey of members of the public to find out if celebrity involvement would encourage people to donate, researchers found that the impact was not as great as previously thought. When shown a list of well-known organisations and famous people who represent them, over half of respondents were unable to match the celebrity with the cause. What’s more, three quarters claimed that they didn’t respond to celebrity endorsement in any way. The survey also showed that a few names did stand out as being associated with particular charities. But the presence of a celebrity in a campaign, was not a significant factor when it came to a decision to donate time or money. Instead, the majority of people contribute because of personal connections in their lives and families which make a charity important to them. In another study aimed at young people, most participants cited a compelling (无法抗拒的) mission as their main motivation to give. The second most important drive was if a friend or peer recommended supporting a particular cause. Only two percent of respondents said they were motivated by celebrity endorsement. This seems to contradict the general assumption that teenagers are particularly influenced by famous people. One possible explanation is that there is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity culture. There is also a suspicion that the stars are the ones who benefit most when they offer to do charity work. Some critiques have accused that celebrities might actually take attention away from issues by attracting more attention than the causes they represent. So taking all these issues into account, is it time for charities to rethink their campaign strategies and look for alternative ways to reach new audiences? Whichever point of view you favour, there seems to be opportunities for more research into how charity campaigns might develop relationships with celebrities to maximise their potential. This in turn will open up more engagement, and better targeted campaigns — which can only benefit those who really matter — the people and animals that are in need of assistance. 12. What does the underlined word “tangible” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Controversial. B. Celebrated. C. Definite. D. Temporarily. 13. Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 2? A. Celebrity involvement is key to motivating people to donate. B. All people are not influenced by celebrities in charity donations. C. Most people contribute to charities because they are inspired by the family. D. None of the people believe celebrities make any difference to their donation. 14. The 3rd paragraph is mainly about ________. A. how young people react to celebrity culture B. who is to blame for taking attention away from charities C. what mainly motivates young people to be engaged in charitable giving D. why young people are rarely influenced by celebrities in charity donations 15. What is the author’s attitude towards celebrity doing charities? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 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。 It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed an advertising executive.

Every day was a mirror image of the last, filled with the tick-tock of the clock that dictated his every move. Henry was a skilled watchmaker, and his creations were admired for their precision and beauty. However, the irony (讽刺) of his profession was not lost on him; despite his ability to control the measure of time, he felt as if time was controlling him. To make matters worse, there harbored a deep regret in his heart — his son Richard, who worked in another city, seldom contacted him. They were literally strangers living far apart. One day, an elderly woman visited Henry’s shop, seeking a watch with a peculiar request. She wanted a timepiece that did not tell the exact time but rather reminded the wearer of the fleeting and temporary nature of life. “This watch is also for my son, who once did something associated with the concept of time, but he…” she suddenly paused, and obviously there was a slump in her throat. But she quickly composed herself and told Henry she would come for the watch one month later. Intrigued (感觉着迷的), Henry accepted the challenge, pouring his soul into the creation of a unique watch. He designed it with no numbers, only two hands — one moving rapidly and the other so slowly it was almost still. As he completed the watch, he found himself fascinated by its unconventional design. The hands seemed to dance around the face, a visual metaphor for the passage of time. The more he observed it, the more it made him reflect on his own life. He realized that in his pursuit of perfection and order, he had forgotten to live and appreciate the present moment. 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。 One month later, the elderly woman returned to collect her watch. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the woman left, Henry felt a profound sense of change. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 乐山一中高2026届高三(上)9月月考英语测试卷 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.What does the man study?

I had no more water, and my tongue felt swollen. I felt sleepy as groups of flies settled on me in a vain attempt to find dampness. A sudden warm breeze stirred me. I opened my eyes, caught the distant hum of an engine, and glanced weakly upward, yet the sound faded away. After a short while, I heard it once more, but this time it seemed nearer. I dragged my feet and marched toward the source of the sound. When I made it to the top of the hill, I gasped in utter disbelief. There in front of me lay Logue Brook Dam, with boats pulling water skiers and folks sunbathing out in the open. I went back to my bicycle, pushed it up the hill, and let it coast into the lovely cool waters of the dam, where I rolled around wearing my full cycling gear. 4. What can be inferred about the 1st paragraph? A. The author desperately contacted his wife at the tourist park. B. The author found the trail markers easily after doubling back. C. The author felt confused and helpless in the current environment. D. The cicadas’ noise was so loud that the author couldn’t find landmarks. 5. When did the author realize he was cycling in circles? A. When trail markers disappeared. B. When he recognized his own bike tracks. C. When the loud cicada noises disturbed him. D. When he noticed the change in sandy trail conditions. 6. Why were the flies mentioned? A. To show he was awed at the abundant wildlife. B. To describe the surroundings were becoming tougher. C. To illustrate his physical discomfort was intensifying. D. To inform he unconsciously entered a dangerous zone. 7. What happened to the author in the end? A. He deserted his bike near the coast. B. He failed to locate the dam and gave up. C. He pushed his bike and rolled about the dam. D. He had the bike freewheel downhill and had fun. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者骑行时迷路，缺水困顿，发现自己在绕圈，后循引擎声找到Logue Brook Dam，推自行车入坝，在水中翻滚。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The original plan was to stay overnight at a tourist park near Logue Brook Dam, where I could finally reach my wife, but right then, I didn’t have the faintest idea where I was. Wearily, I pushed myself upright, remounted my bike and started to double back in the hope of spotting clear trail markers, but this only made things worse: the trees seemed to press in around me as I desperately scanned for landmarks — and the cicadas (蝉) had erupted into a deafening chorus.(最初的计划是先在洛格伯克大坝附近的旅游公园过夜，这样我就能联系到我的妻子了。但就在那时，我完全不知道自己身处何地。疲惫不堪的我勉强坐直身子，重新骑上自行车，开始往回走，希望能看到清晰的路标指引，但结果却更糟糕了：当我拼命寻找地标时，树木似乎向我逼来；而蝉儿也齐声鸣叫起来，震耳欲聋)”可知，作者在当前的环境中感到困惑和无助。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, I soon realised that they were my own. I was covering the same ground.(然而，我很快便意识到，它们其实是属于我的。我所走的路与它们是一样的)”可知，作者通过自己的自行车留下的痕迹意识到自己在原地打转。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Discouraged, I lay my bike aside, and sank down under a tree with a heavy sigh. I had no more water, and my tongue felt swollen. I felt sleepy as groups of flies settled on me in a vain attempt to find dampness.(沮丧不已，我把自行车放在一旁，然后重重地叹了口气，瘫坐在一棵树下。我已经没有水了，舌头也肿了起来。我感到十分困倦，一群群苍蝇落在我的身上，试图寻找潮湿的地方，但它们的努力却是徒劳的)”可知，提及这些苍蝇是为了表明他的身体不适感正在加剧。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I went back to my bicycle, pushed it up the hill, and let it coast into the lovely cool waters of the dam, where I rolled around wearing my full cycling gear.(我回到自行车旁，推着它爬上山坡，然后让它自然滑行进到那座大坝旁清凉宜人的水里。我穿着全套骑行装备在里面尽情地翻滚嬉戏)”可知，这位作者最后推着自行车，在大坝上来回滑行。故选C。 C Soaring above a desert expanse in an aircraft, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour’s flight, one of the scientists jotted in his book, “Look here for probable metal”. Meanwhile, aboard another plane cruising over a mountainous terrain, scientists sent a message to other counterparts on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists documented their findings,” This ground should be searched for metals. “From an airplane hovering over a hilly wasteland, a scientist sent back by radio one word,” Uranium.” None of the scientists possessed X-ray eyes: they had no supernatural powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely employing one of the most cutting- edge methodologies for locating minerals in the ground—using trees and plants as indicative markers that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants take root and flourish. This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. Analysis of the roots, branches, and seeds disclosed an absence of silver. But small amounts of gold were detected in the roots, with lower gold concentrations present in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches. Had the trees not provided indications of gold in the ground, the scientists would not have allocated funds for digging into the depths. They did excavate and uncovered additional gold reserves below the surface. Further digging revealed substantial quantities of the precious metal. 8. Why could scientists tell possible mineral existence from plants? A. Scientists are trained to see through the earth’s surface and detect minerals. B. Some minerals deep in the earth can influence the type of surface vegetation. C. The roots can absorb and transport minerals to branches and seeds in large quantities. D. Plants growing in mineral- rich areas have unique shapes easy to identify from the air. 9. The study of the plants’ roots, branches, and seeds suggests that ________. A. branches tend to hold more gold than roots B. roots contain less gold than seeds near the trunk C. gold content in branches far from the trunk is higher than in seeds D. seeds closer to the trunk likely have more gold than those at branch ends 10. How does the writer support trees and plants indicate minerals? A. By presenting a case study. B. By listing different types of minerals. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining the chemical mechanism. 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Scientists Study Tree Components for Gold. B. Trees and Plants: Clues to Underground Minerals. C. New Ways of searching for Underground Minerals. D. The Process of Gold Exploration in Trees and Plants. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍科学家利用树木植物作为指示标记勘探地下矿物的方法，并举加拿大Watson Bar Creek通过树木发现金矿的例子说明。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.(这种矿产勘探的方法基于这样一个原则：地球深处的矿产会影响地表植被的种类)”可知，科学家能够从植物中推断出是否存在矿物质是因为地球深处的一些矿物质会影响地表植被的类型。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.(靠近树干的那些种子所含的黄金量比长在树枝末端的种子要多)”可知，对植物的根、枝和种子的研究表明，靠近树干的种子通常比位于树枝末端的种子含有更多的黄金。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes.(在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省山区海拔六千英尺处的沃森巴里克溪，一个矿物勘探小组收集了成袋的树种种子。箱子中装满了树木的小树枝。根部也被挖出并放入了箱子中)”可知，作者在第三、四、五段以加拿大 Watson Bar Creek 的研究为例，详细描述了科学家通过分析树木的根、枝、种子发现金矿的过程，以此支持 “植物可指示矿物” 的观点，属于案例研究。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“None of the scientists possessed X-ray eyes: they had no supernatural powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely employing one of the most cutting- edge methodologies for locating minerals in the ground-using trees and plants as indicative markers that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants take root and flourish. This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.(这些科学家都没有拥有透视的能力：他们也没有任何超自然的本领能够穿透地表深入地下观察。他们只是在运用一种最先进的技术来寻找地下的矿产——利用树木和植物作为指示标志，因为某些矿产可能就位于树木和植物生长的土壤之下。这种矿产勘探的方法基于这样一个原则：地球深处的矿产会影响地表植被的种类)”结合文章介绍科学家利用树木植物作为指示标记勘探地下矿物的方法，并举加拿大Watson Bar Creek通过树木发现金矿的例子说明。可知，B选项“树木与植物：地下矿物质的线索”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Regardless of how famous they are, and despite the star treatment they receive, many celebrities make it a point to give back to charities. Some have even set up their own private foundations. Their widely publicised visits to troubled areas of the world help to raise awareness of issues such as famine and poverty. According to Jane Cooper of Unicef UK, celebrities have a unique ability to reach huge numbers of people, many of whom might not otherwise be engaged in charitable causes. She pointed out that famous faces had played a significant role in raising funds in recent years, and their energies had produced tangible results, such as enabling millions of children in poorer countries to attend school. But in spite of these successes, there is evidence to suggest that celebrity endorsement (代言) may be overrated. In a survey of members of the public to find out if celebrity involvement would encourage people to donate, researchers found that the impact was not as great as previously thought. When shown a list of well-known organisations and famous people who represent them, over half of respondents were unable to match the celebrity with the cause. What’s more, three quarters claimed that they didn’t respond to celebrity endorsement in any way. The survey also showed that a few names did stand out as being associated with particular charities. But the presence of a celebrity in a campaign, was not a significant factor when it came to a decision to donate time or money. Instead, the majority of people contribute because of personal connections in their lives and families which make a charity important to them. In another study aimed at young people, most participants cited a compelling (无法抗拒的) mission as their main motivation to give. The second most important drive was if a friend or peer recommended supporting a particular cause. Only two percent of respondents said they were motivated by celebrity endorsement. This seems to contradict the general assumption that teenagers are particularly influenced by famous people. One possible explanation is that there is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity culture. There is also a suspicion that the stars are the ones who benefit most when they offer to do charity work. Some critiques have accused that celebrities might actually take attention away from issues by attracting more attention than the causes they represent. So taking all these issues into account, is it time for charities to rethink their campaign strategies and look for alternative ways to reach new audiences? Whichever point of view you favour, there seems to be opportunities for more research into how charity campaigns might develop relationships with celebrities to maximise their potential. This in turn will open up more engagement, and better targeted campaigns — which can only benefit those who really matter — the people and animals that are in need of assistance. 12. What does the underlined word “tangible” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Controversial. B. Celebrated. C. Definite. D. Temporarily. 13. Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 2? A. Celebrity involvement is key to motivating people to donate. B. All people are not influenced by celebrities in charity donations. C. Most people contribute to charities because they are inspired by the family. D. None of the people believe celebrities make any difference to their donation. 14. The 3rd paragraph is mainly about ________. A. how young people react to celebrity culture B. who is to blame for taking attention away from charities C. what mainly motivates young people to be engaged in charitable giving D. why young people are rarely influenced by celebrities in charity donations 15. What is the author’s attitude towards celebrity doing charities? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨名人参与慈善的情况，既提及其在筹款等方面的作用，也指出其影响被高估，还分析相关研究，最后建议优化合作策略。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“such as enabling millions of children in poorer countries to attend school(例如，能让贫困国家的数百万儿童能够上学)”可知，“让儿童上学”是具体、明确的成果，故划线词意思是“明确的”。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in spite of these successes, there is evidence to suggest that celebrity endorsement (代言) may be overrated. In a survey of members of the public to find out if celebrity involvement would encourage people to donate, researchers found that the impact was not as great as previously thought. When shown a list of well- known organisations and famous people who represent them, over half of respondents were unable to match the celebrity with the cause. What’s more, three quarters claimed that they didn’t respond to celebrity endorsement in any way.(尽管取得了这些成功，但仍有证据表明名人代言可能被高估了。在一项针对公众的调查中，旨在了解名人参与是否能鼓励人们捐款，研究人员发现其影响并不像之前认为的那样大。当向受访者展示一系列知名组织以及代表这些组织的著名人物名单时，超过一半的受访者无法将名人与相关事业匹配起来。此外，四分之三的人表示他们不会以任何方式对名人代言做出反应)”可知，四分之三的人表示不会因名人代言而改变捐赠行为，说明并非所有人都会受名人在慈善捐赠中的影响，故B选项“并非所有人在进行慈善捐赠时都会受到名人影响”正确。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In another study aimed at young people, most participants cited a compelling (无法抗拒的) mission as their main motivation to give. The second most important drive was if a friend or peer recommended supporting a particular cause. Only two percent of respondents said they were motivated by celebrity endorsement. This seems to contradict the general assumption that teenagers are particularly influenced by famous people. One possible explanation is that there is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity culture. There is also a suspicion that the stars are the ones who benefit most when they offer to do charity work. Some critiques have accused that celebrities might actually take attention away from issues by attracting more attention than the causes they represent.(在另一项针对年轻人的研究中，大多数参与者都将一个极具吸引力的使命视为他们捐赠的主要动机。其次是如果朋友或同龄人推荐支持某个特定的事业，这会成为他们捐赠的主要动力。仅有 2% 的受访者表示他们的动机是受到名人推荐的影响。这似乎与普遍认为青少年尤其受名人影响的假设相矛盾。一种可能的解释是，人们对名人文化普遍感到厌倦。还有一种怀疑是，当明星们自愿参与慈善工作时，他们自己往往受益最多。一些批评指出，名人可能会通过吸引更多的关注而分散人们对相关问题的关注，而不是专注于他们所代表的事业)”可知，第三段提到在针对年轻人的研究中，只有2%的受访者受名人代言影响，还分析了可能的原因（对名人文化的疲倦、怀疑名人获益更多等），因此第三段主要讲述了为何年轻人很少会受到名人在慈善捐赠方面的影响。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据作者既提到名人参与慈善的积极作用（提高关注度、筹款、产生实际成果），也指出其局限性（影响被高估、调查显示大众反应平淡、对年轻人影响小等），最后提出应研究如何优化名人与慈善的合作。由此推断，作者对名人参与慈善活动持客观态度。故选A。 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。 It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何改变我们的工作方式来应对人工智能的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing.(人工智能正在改变我们的工作方式，这已经不是什么秘密。随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，人类只能从事更高级的认知工作，比如创意产生、战略规划和创意写作)”可知，上文提到人工智能在改变我们的工作方式，随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，推测本句应说明人类应该如何应对这种情况。故D选项“要在新时代脱颖而出，我们需要改变我们的工作方式”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached.(领导者经常根据员工在工作中花费的时间或他们达到的抽象目标的数量来衡量生产力)”以及后文“This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. (这种类型的输出不适合人工智能时代。相反，我们必须进行心理上的转换，以质量而不是数量来安排每个工作日)”可知，上文提到了领导者通过花费的时间以及数量来衡量生产力，本句与上文构成因果关系，总结领导者优先考虑的工作数量。故C选项“因此，工作的数量被优先考虑”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work.(从摒弃整天连续工作的旧方法开始。研究表明，持续的工作损害了创造性想法的产生和高质量、复杂的认知工作)”以及后文“It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.(建议使用90分钟左右的工作时间，在前20分钟内解决任务中最难的部分，然后在剩下的时间里转向较慢、较容易的工作)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出应该集中精力工作，后文给出时间安排的建议。故F选项“正因为如此，最好是集中精力工作，让大脑得到休息”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep.(因此，管理者应该考虑团队或个人工作的主要领域，而不是在整个团队或组织中强加相同的工作时间表。数据表明，最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作)”可知，后文提到“最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作”，即工作的时间对效率产生影响。故B选项“一天中的时间也会有影响”符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep.(数据表明，最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作)”以及后文“In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus.(在集中精力工作的间隙，找时间打个盹，或者做一些不需要太多创造力和注意力的简单工作)”可知，上文提到了“在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作”，本句承接上文，说明其他时间段应该进行什么样的工作。故G选项“中午是做需要集中注意力的事情的最佳时间”符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed an advertising executive.

Every day was a mirror image of the last, filled with the tick-tock of the clock that dictated his every move. Henry was a skilled watchmaker, and his creations were admired for their precision and beauty. However, the irony (讽刺) of his profession was not lost on him; despite his ability to control the measure of time, he felt as if time was controlling him. To make matters worse, there harbored a deep regret in his heart — his son Richard, who worked in another city, seldom contacted him. They were literally strangers living far apart. One day, an elderly woman visited Henry’s shop, seeking a watch with a peculiar request. She wanted a timepiece that did not tell the exact time but rather reminded the wearer of the fleeting and temporary nature of life. “This watch is also for my son, who once did something associated with the concept of time, but he…” she suddenly paused, and obviously there was a slump in her throat. But she quickly composed herself and told Henry she would come for the watch one month later. Intrigued (感觉着迷的), Henry accepted the challenge, pouring his soul into the creation of a unique watch. He designed it with no numbers, only two hands — one moving rapidly and the other so slowly it was almost still. As he completed the watch, he found himself fascinated by its unconventional design. The hands seemed to dance around the face, a visual metaphor for the passage of time. The more he observed it, the more it made him reflect on his own life. He realized that in his pursuit of perfection and order, he had forgotten to live and appreciate the present moment. 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。 One month later, the elderly woman returned to collect her watch. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the woman left, Henry felt a profound sense of change. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 One month later, the elderly woman returned to collect her watch. Upon seeing it, her eyes welled with tears. She thanked Henry, not just for the watch, but for the memory it provided. She explained that her son was also fascinated by the concept of time and learned watch designing at a college six months ago. However, he died tragically in a road accident while travelling to another city for a watch-designing competition. The watch her son designed was also damaged and stopped working forever. Now Henry’s watch was both a way to keep the memory of her son alive and a symbol of the preciousness of each moment. As the woman left, Henry felt a profound sense of change. Pushed by a burning desire, he decided to make two similar watches — one for himself, the other his son — as constant reminders to live life in the NOW moment. The job was quickly done. One day, a knock landed on the door. A familiar face popped up — it was his son Richard! “Am I in a dream?” Henry murmured, tears of joy streaming down his cheeks. Then the smiling elder lady entered. It turned out she had written a letter to Richard, telling him everything. What a happy reunion of the “three watches”! They seemed to ask people two crucial questions: Are we simply existing, or are we truly living? 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，文章主要介绍了一位名叫亨利的钟表匠，他的生活被时间的单调节奏所控制。通过为一位老妇人制作一块特别的手表，他反思了自己对时间的理解和生活的态度，意识到自己在追求完美和秩序的过程中忽视了当下的生活。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一个月后，这位老妇人回来取手表。”可知，第一段可描写老人看到手表后的反应，以及她对儿子的回忆。 ②由第二段首句内容“当女人离开时，亨利感到一种深刻的变化。”可知，第二段可描写亨利受到启发后的改变，以及他与儿子的重逢。 2.续写 线索：老人来取手表——讲述儿子的故事——亨利受到启发——制作类似手表——与儿子重逢——感悟生活 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①感谢某人：thank sb./say thanks to sb. ②决定做某事：decide to do sth./determine to do sth. ③低语：murmur/whisper 情绪类 ①愉快：joy/delight ②珍贵：preciousness/pricelessness 【点睛】【高分句型1】She explained that her son was also fascinated by the concept of time and learned watch designing at a college six months ago.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】The watch her son designed was also damaged and stopped working forever.（运用了that或which被省略的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
