Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 21．In the programme, students will _________. A．chair daily meetings B．evaluate the exchange C．meet teachers each week D．practise their language skills 22．To complete the programme, students are required to _________. A．development tests B．participate in pair meetings C．welcome new students D．work on weekly videos 23．What do students need to do during the registration? A．Indicate their languages of interest. B．Select their own coursework. C．Make individual contact. D．Choose their partners. B A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 24．Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A．To promote the language software. B．To show off his Chinese language skills. C．To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D．To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 25．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．AI translation deserves more attention. B．Language apps play a key role in marketing. C．Language translation is far beyond technology. D．Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 26．What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A．Better digital literacy. B．Improved translation skills. C．Deeper cultural confidence. D．Effective intercultural interaction. 27．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．AI language tools offer convenience. B．AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C．AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D．AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. . Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 28．What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A．The inconsistence between words and meaning. B．The importance of remembering vital moments. C．The necessity of straightforward communication. D．The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 29．What may make human language different from true codes? A．The context included in understanding meanings. B．The definitions made by words in communication. C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 30．How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A．It simplifies language to save time. B．It covers the true feelings of people. C．It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 31．What does the author suggest in communication? A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally. C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones. D Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻). Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive. 32．What does the study find about metaphors? A．They make language more poetic. B．They help clarify abstract concepts. C．They may cause conflicts between people. D．They can shape people's minds and behavior. 33．What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Realize. B．Overlook. C．Emphasize. D．Acknowledge. 34．How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A．It stresses the importance of natural talent. B．It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas. C．It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D．It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. 35．What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To call on people to use metaphors properly. B．To present the potential limitations of metaphors. C．To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. D．To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation. 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。 An essential writing skill is the ability to use plain language effectively to convey ideas clearly. Plain language involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure. To write in plain language, it is important to follow certain guidelines. 36 The only details necessary are those necessary for understanding. For example, the sign “Wait behind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand. Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues. 37 But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about. Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity. 38 For example, use clear headers for each section. Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write directly to your reader. 39 Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity. It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence. 40 A．That is because they know what it means. B．This can be achieved in the following ways. C．Thus, it develops positive relationships with them. D．In many cases, this means writing in the second person point of view. E．One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible. F．This can be especially important for those who speak English as a second language. G．Plain language reduces the risk of misunderstandings caused by confusing language choices. 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。 Most airplanes are constructed with seats in rows of two or three Mathematically, someone in my family of five has to sit by a 41 .

Countless times, I had practiced perfect English conversations in my mind, but when it came to the real thing, I would freeze and couldn’t say anything. What if I messed up the grammar? What if my native language accent sounded too strong? My hands would get sweaty, and my voice would tremble (颤抖) whenever my teacher called my name in class. I envied my classmates who could chat fluently with native speakers, but I felt trapped by my own self-doubt. One sunny afternoon, I was looking through books in a local bookstore. Golden sunlight streamed through the bookstore’s large windows, casting warm light over the rows of bookshelves. It was quiet with not many customers. The soft low sound of customers turning through pages and the slight smell of freshly printed paper filled the air. While searching for an illustrated book in front of the bookshelf, I heard a tense conversation at the checkout counter. A foreign customer stood there, holding a piece of paper covered in messy Chinese handwriting. He gestured wildly, trying to explain something to the shopkeeper, who stared back in total confusion, with a polite yet helpless smile on her face. The customer’s face turned red with annoyance, while the shopkeeper just shook her head, clearly lost. My heart raced as I realized they were speaking English. Every part of me wanted to run, but my feet felt glued to the floor. A storm of thoughts exploded in my mind: What if I’m just embarrassing myself? What if I can’t even understand them? I stood frozen, trapped in a mental fight between fear and the urge to help. 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。 After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 4 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一英语必修第一册单元测试（广东专用） Unit 5 Languages Around the World·培优卷（参考答案） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1-5 BBAAC 6-10 BCABC 11-15 BCABC 16-20 ACCBC 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 21． D 22．B 23．A 24． D 25．C 26．D 27．C 28． A 29．A 30．D 31．C 32．D 33．B 34．D 35．A 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 36． E 37．A 38．B 39．D 40．C 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第1节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 41．B 42．D 43．C 44．B 45．C 46．A 47．D 48．C 49．C 50．C 51．D 52．B 53．D 54．D 55．B 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 56．which/that 57．showcasing 58．to boost 59．transformation 60．the 61．shifts 62．coupled 63．has reached 64．for 65．potentially 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 Dear Ken, How are you going these days? Your idea of making use of AI agent tools to assist your Chinese learning is quite fashionable, as we, interestingly in reverse, are using AI agent to improve our English learning. Allow me to raise some advice based on my learning experience. First, use AI agent only when it is necessary. For example, when we are confused about vocabulary or grammar problems, we can turn to AI agent, for that’s what it is best at. Secondly, remember that AI agent can’t implant its reading experience in us, so read Chinese literary works, which is an irreplaceable way of language learning. What’s more, don’t expect that AI agent would greatly improve your speaking skills, because currently it still can’t replace a real native speaker, with whom we can conduct real communication. Hope that your Chinese study will benefit a lot from the new way of learning. Best regards, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them. My voice was barely above a whisper as I asked, “Can I help?” The foreign customer turned to me, hope lighting up his face. He quickly handed me the paper, explaining that he was trying to find a specific book but couldn’t make the shopkeeper understand the title. I glanced at the messy handwriting, recognizing a few English words amidst the Chinese characters. With a shaky hand, I pointed to the bookshelves and led him to the right section, my heart pounding in my chest. When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely. His gratitude washed over me like a warm wave, melting away my anxiety. As he left the store, he patted my shoulder and said, “Your English is great! Don’t be afraid to speak it.” His words echoed in my mind long after he’d gone. That day, I realized that my fear of making mistakes was holding me back from connecting with others. Stepping out of my comfort zone had not only helped someone in need but also given me a newfound confidence in my ability to communicate. From then on, I started raising my hand more often in class, embracing every chance to speak English without fear. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Let's watch a documentary about volcanoes, but i'm afraid it's too bright here.

Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 21．In the programme, students will _________. A．chair daily meetings B．evaluate the exchange C．meet teachers each week D．practise their language skills 22．To complete the programme, students are required to _________. A．development tests B．participate in pair meetings C．welcome new students D．work on weekly videos 23．What do students need to do during the registration? A．Indicate their languages of interest. B．Select their own coursework. C．Make individual contact. D．Choose their partners. B A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 24．Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A．To promote the language software. B．To show off his Chinese language skills. C．To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D．To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 25．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．AI translation deserves more attention. B．Language apps play a key role in marketing. C．Language translation is far beyond technology. D．Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 26．What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A．Better digital literacy. B．Improved translation skills. C．Deeper cultural confidence. D．Effective intercultural interaction. 27．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．AI language tools offer convenience. B．AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C．AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D．AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. . Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 28．What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A．The inconsistence between words and meaning. B．The importance of remembering vital moments. C．The necessity of straightforward communication. D．The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 29．What may make human language different from true codes? A．The context included in understanding meanings. B．The definitions made by words in communication. C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 30．How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A．It simplifies language to save time. B．It covers the true feelings of people. C．It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 31．What does the author suggest in communication? A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally. C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones. D Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻). Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive. 32．What does the study find about metaphors? A．They make language more poetic. B．They help clarify abstract concepts. C．They may cause conflicts between people. D．They can shape people's minds and behavior. 33．What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Realize. B．Overlook. C．Emphasize. D．Acknowledge. 34．How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A．It stresses the importance of natural talent. B．It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas. C．It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D．It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. 35．What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To call on people to use metaphors properly. B．To present the potential limitations of metaphors. C．To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. D．To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation. 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。 An essential writing skill is the ability to use plain language effectively to convey ideas clearly. Plain language involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure. To write in plain language, it is important to follow certain guidelines. 36 The only details necessary are those necessary for understanding. For example, the sign “Wait behind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand. Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues. 37 But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about. Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity. 38 For example, use clear headers for each section. Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write directly to your reader. 39 Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity. It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence. 40 A．That is because they know what it means. B．This can be achieved in the following ways. C．Thus, it develops positive relationships with them. D．In many cases, this means writing in the second person point of view. E．One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible. F．This can be especially important for those who speak English as a second language. G．Plain language reduces the risk of misunderstandings caused by confusing language choices. 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。 Most airplanes are constructed with seats in rows of two or three Mathematically, someone in my family of five has to sit by a 41 .

Countless times, I had practiced perfect English conversations in my mind, but when it came to the real thing, I would freeze and couldn’t say anything. What if I messed up the grammar? What if my native language accent sounded too strong? My hands would get sweaty, and my voice would tremble (颤抖) whenever my teacher called my name in class. I envied my classmates who could chat fluently with native speakers, but I felt trapped by my own self-doubt. One sunny afternoon, I was looking through books in a local bookstore. Golden sunlight streamed through the bookstore’s large windows, casting warm light over the rows of bookshelves. It was quiet with not many customers. The soft low sound of customers turning through pages and the slight smell of freshly printed paper filled the air. While searching for an illustrated book in front of the bookshelf, I heard a tense conversation at the checkout counter. A foreign customer stood there, holding a piece of paper covered in messy Chinese handwriting. He gestured wildly, trying to explain something to the shopkeeper, who stared back in total confusion, with a polite yet helpless smile on her face. The customer’s face turned red with annoyance, while the shopkeeper just shook her head, clearly lost. My heart raced as I realized they were speaking English. Every part of me wanted to run, but my feet felt glued to the floor. A storm of thoughts exploded in my mind: What if I’m just embarrassing myself? What if I can’t even understand them? I stood frozen, trapped in a mental fight between fear and the urge to help. 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。 After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共12页） 试题 第4页（共12页） 试题 第5页（共12页） 试题 第6页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一英语必修第一册单元测试（广东专用） Unit 5 Languages Around the World·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

That is the Petting Zoo, a lovely little area where children can spend time in the company of our very friendly farm animals. Continuing turning left past the bridge will take you to the Toddler's Play Pool. Alternatively, taking a right at the Petting Zoo will bring you down to the Fairy Palace. Following the rad that leads to a dead end takes you to Winter Wonderland. Here, we use snow machines to create a magical world of winter delights. On the other side of the map just down from the Fairy Palace, there's another kind of wonderland Waterworld. Waterworld is for the older kids only, a place where they can play about in the water to their heart's content. 第二部分 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The Language Exchange Programme allows students in pairs to communicate in two different languages they wish to share and learn each week. Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 21．In the programme, students will _________. A．chair daily meetings B．evaluate the exchange C．meet teachers each week D．practise their language skills 22．To complete the programme, students are required to _________. A．development tests B．participate in pair meetings C．welcome new students D．work on weekly videos 23．What do students need to do during the registration? A．Indicate their languages of interest. B．Select their own coursework. C．Make individual contact. D．Choose their partners. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一项语言交流项目的基本情况以及它的要求、报名和注册流程以及注意事项的相关信息。 21．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Language Exchange Programme allows students in pairs to communicate in two different languages they wish to share and learn each week. Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed.(语言交流项目让学生们两人一组，每周用他们希望分享和学习的两种不同的语言进行交流。学生们在每次搭档会议后记录简短的条目，指出所练习的语言技能和讨论的主题)”可知，在这个项目中，学生们将练习他们的语言技能。故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据Requirements for completion部分第二点“18 weekly one-hour pair meetings(每周18次一小时的配对会议)”可知，为了完成该项目，学生们被要求参加配对会议。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据Sign up部分第一点“Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning.(学生们报名参加并表明他们可以分享的语言以及他们有兴趣学习的语言)”可知，学生们在注册期间需要表明他们感兴趣的语言。故选A。 B A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 24．Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A．To promote the language software. B．To show off his Chinese language skills. C．To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D．To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 25．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．AI translation deserves more attention. B．Language apps play a key role in marketing. C．Language translation is far beyond technology. D．Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 26．What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A．Better digital literacy. B．Improved translation skills. C．Deeper cultural confidence. D．Effective intercultural interaction. 27．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．AI language tools offer convenience. B．AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C．AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D．AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．D 27．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能语言工具的便利性与语言学习的文化深度之间的差异，作者引导我们对人工智能语言工具进行批判性思考然后得出结论：人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美。 24．推理判断题。由文章第一段“A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. ‘My favorite food is sushi,’ I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.(几天前，我看了一段我自己说一口流利汉语的视频。我断断续续地学习这门语言才几年，还远谈不上流利。但我就这样，每个字的发音就像母语人士一样。‘我最喜欢的食物是寿司，’我说——我最喜欢吃寿司。)”以及下文，尤其是最后一段中“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning.(从本质上讲，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习所带来的深度和文化洞察力。)”可知，文章第一段以作者自己的体验引出AI语言工具，然后鼓励对AI语言工具进行批判性思考。故选D项。 25．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience.(然而，语言翻译是一门艺术，而不是一门科学。为了换取这种便利，将失去一些巨大的东西。)”以及“Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,(在广泛不同的语言（如中文和英文）之间建立一个阶梯，有时就像医生在病人心中架起一座桥梁一样困难，)”可知，语言翻译并不是技术能解决的问题，它远远超出了技术范畴。故选C项。 26．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of Al, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. (语言教授黛博拉·科恩强调，语言学习实际上是关于理解和联系不同的文化；一些教育工作者主张强调语言学习的跨文化方面，而不是放弃语言课程而选择人工智能。)”可知，学习语言的主要好处是有效的跨文化互动。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry(织锦)that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.(本质上，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。学习一门语言的挑战和美妙之处在于理解通过单词编织的文化挂毯，这是人工智能尚未实现的。)”可知，作者在最后一段表明人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美，因为人工智能语言工具缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。故选C项。 C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. . Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 28．What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A．The inconsistence between words and meaning. B．The importance of remembering vital moments. C．The necessity of straightforward communication. D．The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 29．What may make human language different from true codes? A．The context included in understanding meanings. B．The definitions made by words in communication. C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 30．How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A．It simplifies language to save time. B．It covers the true feelings of people. C．It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 31．What does the author suggest in communication? A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally. C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones. 【答案】28．A 29．A 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。 28．推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日！那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢？这两件事有关系吗？)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(交流不仅仅是言语。还包括这些话是怎么说的，语气，顺序，甚至是某个特定单词的选择)”可推知，第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言不是一种编码。真正的编码与意义有着一一对应的关系。一种声音，一种定义。这就是我们在动物身上看到的情况。威尔逊和斯珀伯解释说：“当发出者和接收者拥有完全相同的编码时，编码交流效果最佳。”人类则不是这样。我们交流的内容比我们所说的单词的定义要多。这是一种推理交流，这意味着我们不仅理解所说的单词，而且理解它们所使用的语境)”可知，理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。故选A。 30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语是一个很好的例子，说明我们如何用几个简单的词来有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是陈述相反的意思。例如，当玛丽在一个无聊的聚会后说“那很有趣”时，她既不是说聚会真的很有趣，也不是“讽刺地”说聚会很无聊。相反，她在表达一种情感。三个字代替了段落，展示了语言的效率)”可知，玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思，从而说明了反语的特点。故选 D。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯珀伯得出结论，人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大，是因为人类有两种独特的能力：语言能力和试图解读他人心理状态的能力。我们为听到的单词寻找语境。我们应该非常善于吸收这种语境来推断意义)” 可推知，作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思，也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。故选C。 D Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻). Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive. 32．What does the study find about metaphors? A．They make language more poetic. B．They help clarify abstract concepts. C．They may cause conflicts between people. D．They can shape people's minds and behavior. 33．What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Realize. B．Overlook. C．Emphasize. D．Acknowledge. 34．How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A．It stresses the importance of natural talent. B．It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas. C．It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D．It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. 35．What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To call on people to use metaphors properly. B．To present the potential limitations of metaphors. C．To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. D．To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．D 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了比喻在生活中的应用，以及其带来的影响。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions.(Purchase学院进行的一项研究发现，比喻可以塑造人们的视角，从而塑造他们的推理和随后的行动。)”可知，比喻可以塑造人们的思想和行为。故选D项。 33．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.(另一个例子是灯泡比喻，通常用于描述新想法，表明新想法突然出现，就像电灯开关被打开一样。然而，这个比喻意味着新想法毫不费力地出现，只有少数天才才能获得，比如艾萨克·牛顿，他被认为是从突然发现一个掉落的苹果中发展出他的引力理论的。这可能会导致人们质疑自己产生新闻想法的能力，作为一种行为后果，人们可能会underestimate努力工作和持续学习在带来变革方面的作用。)”可知，作者在本段阐述灯泡比喻，利用牛顿的例子来表达灯泡比喻会使人过分强调天赋、对自己的能力产生质疑，相应地对勤奋努力的价值则有所忽视、低估。因此推断画线词与overlook意思相近。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.(与灯泡的比喻不同，种子的比喻暗示了一种理解，即产生新的想法是一个艰苦的过程，需要时间和精力。它还表明，任何人都可以成为思想的培养者，只要他们用心去做。)”可知，将一个种子培育成长需要长期的关注和养护，种子比喻的显著特征是它表明个人的持续努力。故选D项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive.(考虑到我们比喻思维的本质，我们有必要问：我们的比喻合适吗？为了自己和他人，我们有责任恰当地使用比喻。这些选择——有意识的或无意识的——可能是建设性的，也可能是破坏性的。)”可知，作者在最后一段提出问题，告诫读者要恰当合理地使用比喻，显然目的是呼吁人们正确使用比喻。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 An essential writing skill is the ability to use plain language effectively to convey ideas clearly. Plain language involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure. To write in plain language, it is important to follow certain guidelines. 36 The only details necessary are those necessary for understanding. For example, the sign “Wait behind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand. Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues. 37 But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about. Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity. 38 For example, use clear headers for each section. Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write directly to your reader. 39 Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity. It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence. 40 A．That is because they know what it means. B．This can be achieved in the following ways. C．Thus, it develops positive relationships with them. D．In many cases, this means writing in the second person point of view. E．One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible. F．This can be especially important for those who speak English as a second language. G．Plain language reduces the risk of misunderstandings caused by confusing language choices. 【答案】36．E 37．A 38．B 39．D 40．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了使用通俗易懂的语言写作时需要遵循一些通用的指导原则。 36．根据下文“The only details they include are those necessary for the reader to understand the sentences’ meaning.

It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.（然而，简单的语言不仅仅是词语的选择。它还包括组织写作，优先考虑清晰。）”提到简单的语言不仅仅是词语的选择，还包括其它东西，以及下文“For example, use clear headers for each section.  Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write directly to your read.（例如，每个部分使用清晰的标题。在句子或段落的开头尽早提及主题。直接写给读者。）”可知，上文强调组织写作，优先考虑清晰，下文给出了具体的做法。结合选项B项This can be achieved in the following ways.（这可以通过以下方式实现。）可知，This指代的是“It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.”，“in the following ways”呼应的是下“文For example, use clear headers for each section.  Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write directly to your read.”，起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选B项。 39．根据上文 “Write directly to your reader. （直接写给读者。）”，再结合D项“In many cases, this means writing in the second person point of view.（在很多情况下，这意味着要运用第二人称来写作）”可知，this指代的是“直接写给读者”这一方法，运用第二人称来写作呼应“直接写给读者”这一语意，故选D项。 40．根据上文“By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence.（通过使用通俗易懂的语言，你表现出对读者时间和智慧的尊重。）”提到通过使用通俗易懂的语言的好处。结合选项C项“Thus, it develops positive relationships with them.（因此，它与他们发展了积极的关系。）”中 them，指代的是上文的readers，且和上文内容意思相关，同样介绍其好处，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选C项。 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。 Most airplanes are constructed with seats in rows of two or three Mathematically, someone in my family of five has to sit by a 41 .

Your idea of making use of AI agent tools to assist your Chinese learning is quite fashionable, as we, interestingly in reverse, are using AI agent to improve our English learning. Allow me to raise some advice based on my learning experience. First, use AI agent only when it is necessary. For example, when we are confused about vocabulary or grammar problems, we can turn to AI agent, for that’s what it is best at. Secondly, remember that AI agent can’t implant its reading experience in us, so read Chinese literary works, which is an irreplaceable way of language learning. What’s more, don’t expect that AI agent would greatly improve your speaking skills, because currently it still can’t replace a real native speaker, with whom we can conduct real communication. Hope that your Chinese study will benefit a lot from the new way of learning. Best regards, Li Hua 【导语】本篇书面表达是一封建议信，要求考生给外国朋友Ken回信，就他使用AI智能体辅助汉语学习的想法发表你的看法、简述原因并提出建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 利用：make use of → take advantage of 困惑的：confused → perplexed最好的：best → optimal 目前：currently → at present 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Allow me to raise some advice based on my learning experience. 拓展句：I would like to offer some suggestions to you which are based on my personal learning experience. 【点睛】【高分句型1】First, use AI agent only when it is necessary.

Countless times, I had practiced perfect English conversations in my mind, but when it came to the real thing, I would freeze and couldn’t say anything. What if I messed up the grammar? What if my native language accent sounded too strong? My hands would get sweaty, and my voice would tremble (颤抖) whenever my teacher called my name in class. I envied my classmates who could chat fluently with native speakers, but I felt trapped by my own self-doubt. One sunny afternoon, I was looking through books in a local bookstore. Golden sunlight streamed through the bookstore’s large windows, casting warm light over the rows of bookshelves. It was quiet with not many customers. The soft low sound of customers turning through pages and the slight smell of freshly printed paper filled the air. While searching for an illustrated book in front of the bookshelf, I heard a tense conversation at the checkout counter. A foreign customer stood there, holding a piece of paper covered in messy Chinese handwriting. He gestured wildly, trying to explain something to the shopkeeper, who stared back in total confusion, with a polite yet helpless smile on her face. The customer’s face turned red with annoyance, while the shopkeeper just shook her head, clearly lost. My heart raced as I realized they were speaking English. Every part of me wanted to run, but my feet felt glued to the floor. A storm of thoughts exploded in my mind: What if I’m just embarrassing myself? What if I can’t even understand them? I stood frozen, trapped in a mental fight between fear and the urge to help. 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。 After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them. My voice was barely above a whisper as I asked, “Can I help?” The foreign customer turned to me, hope lighting up his face. He quickly handed me the paper, explaining that he was trying to find a specific book but couldn’t make the shopkeeper understand the title. I glanced at the messy handwriting, recognizing a few English words amidst the Chinese characters. With a shaky hand, I pointed to the bookshelves and led him to the right section, my heart pounding in my chest. When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely. His gratitude washed over me like a warm wave, melting away my anxiety. As he left the store, he patted my shoulder and said, “Your English is great! Don’t be afraid to speak it.” His words echoed in my mind long after he’d gone. That day, I realized that my fear of making mistakes was holding me back from connecting with others. Stepping out of my comfort zone had not only helped someone in need but also given me a newfound confidence in my ability to communicate. From then on, I started raising my hand more often in class, embracing every chance to speak English without fear. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了害羞的作者一直害怕在公共场合说英语，内心充满自我怀疑。然而，在一个阳光明媚的下午，作者在书店里目睹了一位外国顾客与店主因语言不通而陷入困境的情景。尽管内心充满恐惧，担心自己会出丑或无法理解对方，但作者最终还是鼓起勇气上前帮忙。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“过了仿佛一个世纪那么久，我深吸一口气，朝他们走去。”可知，第一段可描写作者用英语帮助外国顾客找书的过程以及心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“当店主终于找到那本书时，顾客真诚地向我道谢。”可知，第二段可描写顾客道谢后作者的感悟以及决定以后积极说英语。 2.续写线索：用英语交流——帮助找书——感到紧张——道谢——感悟——决定积极说英语 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②解释：explain/account for ③意识到：realize/be aware of ④发现：find/discover 情绪类 ①害怕的：afraid/scared ②感谢：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] He quickly handed me the paper, explaining that he was trying to find a specific book but couldn’t make the shopkeeper understand the title.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] With a shaky hand, I pointed to the bookshelves and led him to the right section, my heart pounding in my chest.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司22 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
