B Approaching 96, at an age when most are lonely and in poor health, Olga Murray, full of energy, has been eagerly planning a trip to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, while keeping in contact with hundreds of friends around the world. How can she be in such good shape? Is it her good genes? (Her mother lived to 98.) Her daily salads and three-times-a-week workouts? Or might it have something to do with the retired lawyer’s second career as founder of a nonprofit organization? Scientists increasingly are finding that the answer—call it living with purpose, finding meaning in life or just engaging with something larger than yourself can be a particularly healthy pursuit. Living with a sense of purpose can improve the quality of those final years. Murray offers a vivid example of how to create a sense of meaning. Murray’s story began in 1984, after she had worked 37 years as a lawyer and was starting to think about retirement. At 59, while traveling in Nepal, Murray found herself amazed by the children there. “They were poor beyond anything I had ever experienced,” she recalled in a self-published memoir(自传) years later. “Yet they were the most joyful little kids anywhere on earth.” She wanted to put the rest of her life into helping educate Nepalese children. Returning to Nepal the next year, she met Allan Aistrope, then a volunteer English teacher at the country’s only orphanage(孤儿院). The two combined forces, beginning with organizing college scholarships for four of the orphans. After another five years, they had launched the Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF), which by then was supporting several hundred scholarship students and raising 60 homeless children. In 1994, the two hired Som Paneru, a former scholarship student, as executive director. Murray has taken several steps to make sure the NYF will survive after the unavoidable loss of her presence. She handed over the presidency to Paneru in 2012. Now, she is busy as usual, leading lots of fundraising campaigns. 4. How did Nepalese children impress Murray when she traveled in Nepal at 59? A. They were eager to receive education. B. They lived a very poor but happy life. C. They liked to communicate with foreigners. D. They were terribly interested in her memoir. 5. What did Murray do first when she travelled to Nepal the second time? A. She helped four orphans go to college. B. She started the Nepal Youth Foundation. C. She volunteered to act as an English teacher. D. She sent 60 homeless children to the orphanage. 6. Which best describes Murray? A. Confident and helpful. B. Energetic and selfless. C. Creative and professional. D. Kind-hearted and flexible. 7. What’s the best title of this text? A. Exercise Regularly. B. Change Your Jobs. C. Travel to Nepal. D. Live a Purposeful Life. C ChatGPT and other generative AI tools have raised concerns that chatbots will replace many kinds of workers. Writers, editors, and customer service representatives are among the jobs that could be affected. Supporters reason that AI might destroy some jobs while creating others. They also say that the technology will probably make workers more productive, benefiting themselves, their employers and the economy. Sam Altman is the chief of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. He said that he believes “AI is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, and this is going to change the way that a lot of current jobs function.” Nick Bunker is an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab, part of a job search website. He said that he does not believe the technology is going to lead to a lot of unemployment. “We have seen other big technological events in our history, and those didn’t lead to a large rise in unemployment. Technology destroys but also creates. There will be new jobs that come about,” he said. Erik Brynjolfsson of Stanford University, Danielle Li and Lindsey Raymond of MIT studied 5,200 customer-support agents at a large company. The researchers found that those who used the chatbot were 14 percent more productive than workers who did not use the chatbot. The workers who used AI took more calls and completed them faster. However, the fear that AI is a threat to some kinds of jobs has a basis in reality. Suumit Shah is an Indian business owner who announced last year that he had replaced 90 percent of his customer-support workers with a chatbot named Lina. Shah’s company, Dukaan, helps customers set up e-commerce sites to sell goods online. Shah said the average amount of time it took to answer a customer’s question shrank from 1 minute and 44 seconds to “instant”. The chatbot also cut the time needed to resolve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes. 8. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Bring about. B. Turn out. C. Fit in with. D. Get rid of. 9. What’s Bunker’s attitude to AI like chatbots? A. Confused. B. Amazed. C. Acceptable. D. Concerned. 10. What does the study in paragraph 3 tell us? A. Chatbots make workers more efficient. B. AI is a big threat to some kinds of jobs. C. Chatbots will destroy lots of human jobs. D. AI is much more productive than humans. 11. How does the author organize the text? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By offering suggestions. D. By listing research results. D It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind. The team is dedicated to protecting the 45, 000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2, 400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding (相应的) causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. The restoration (修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo (现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.” Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible. 12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals. B To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road. C. To stress the significance of the restoration work. D. To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage. 13. Which of the following best describes the restoration work? A. Creative. B. Well-paid. C. Interesting. D. Demanding. 14. What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4? A. Spotting the faded murals in time. B. Fixing the missing parts of murals. C. Making preservation(保护) of the murals as they are. D. Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings. B. The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves. C. The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation. D. The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture. 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。 Following the announcement that a trendy bookstore in Xi’an is shutting down, the question about the sustainability (持续性) of physical bookstores has once again started a heated discussion. Physical bookstores need to find new ways to adapt in the face of e-commerce, and it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service. ____16____ E-commerce’s rise has led physical bookstores to reinvent themselves. They are becoming cultural and commercial centers. ____17____ Brands like SiSYPHE, Fang Suo Commune, and Yanjiyou bookstores have become popular, thanks to their beautiful designs and diverse offerings such as cultural and creative products. But Zhang Yi, former vice president of a publishing house, said that the difficulty these trendy bookstores face lies not in the new business models, but in what a bookstore should represent. Indeed, bookstores don’t have to stick to the traditional model of just selling books.____18____ In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture. A bookstore should be a heaven (天堂) for book lovers, matching with China’s longstanding tradition of “making friends through books”. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese history, emphasizes real connections over short-lived social media trends. ____19____ A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books. It’s worth noting that it is not enough for physical bookstores to rely on short-lived trends and creative products. ____20____ This approach helps them create a unique identity and ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace. A. Physical bookstores still face a series of problems. B. This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses. C. Bookstores that are still standing must develop and use their strengths. D. Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them. E. Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection. F Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment. G. That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My last hill ride was epic — just not in the way I’d hoped it would be.

In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久的) home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected. For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely. So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone. Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors. One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There, outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it. Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building. However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets. 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。 Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区 2025-2026学年高二上期09月测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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纸上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

How can she be in such good shape? Is it her good genes? (Her mother lived to 98.) Her daily salads and three-times-a-week workouts? Or might it have something to do with the retired lawyer’s second career as founder of a nonprofit organization? Scientists increasingly are finding that the answer—call it living with purpose, finding meaning in life or just engaging with something larger than yourself can be a particularly healthy pursuit. Living with a sense of purpose can improve the quality of those final years. Murray offers a vivid example of how to create a sense of meaning. Murray’s story began in 1984, after she had worked 37 years as a lawyer and was starting to think about retirement. At 59, while traveling in Nepal, Murray found herself amazed by the children there. “They were poor beyond anything I had ever experienced,” she recalled in a self-published memoir(自传) years later. “Yet they were the most joyful little kids anywhere on earth.” She wanted to put the rest of her life into helping educate Nepalese children. Returning to Nepal the next year, she met Allan Aistrope, then a volunteer English teacher at the country’s only orphanage(孤儿院). The two combined forces, beginning with organizing college scholarships for four of the orphans. After another five years, they had launched the Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF), which by then was supporting several hundred scholarship students and raising 60 homeless children. In 1994, the two hired Som Paneru, a former scholarship student, as executive director. Murray has taken several steps to make sure the NYF will survive after the unavoidable loss of her presence. She handed over the presidency to Paneru in 2012. Now, she is busy as usual, leading lots of fundraising campaigns. 4. How did Nepalese children impress Murray when she traveled in Nepal at 59? A. They were eager to receive education. B. They lived a very poor but happy life. C. They liked to communicate with foreigners. D. They were terribly interested in her memoir. 5. What did Murray do first when she travelled to Nepal the second time? A. She helped four orphans go to college. B. She started the Nepal Youth Foundation. C. She volunteered to act as an English teacher. D. She sent 60 homeless children to the orphanage. 6. Which best describes Murray? A. Confident and helpful. B. Energetic and selfless. C. Creative and professional. D. Kind-hearted and flexible. 7 What’s the best title of this text? A. Exercise Regularly. B. Change Your Jobs. C. Travel to Nepal. D. Live a Purposeful Life. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了96岁老人默里依旧精力充沛的秘诀，那就是要带有目的的活着。有目标地生活，找到生活的意义可以提高生活质量。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““They were poor beyond anything I had ever experienced.” she recalled in a self-published memoir years later.（“他们比我经历过的一切都要更穷，”多年后，她在自己出版的回忆录中回忆道。）及“Yet they were the most joyful little kids anywhere on earth.（但他们是世界上最快乐的孩子。）”可知，穆拉在59岁旅行尼泊尔时看到，那里的孩子很穷但是很快乐。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Returning to Nepal the next year, she met Allan Aistrope, then a volunteer English teacher at the country’s only orphanage. The two combined forces, beginning with organizing college scholarships for four of the orphans.”（第二年回到尼泊尔，她遇到了艾伦•埃斯特罗普，当时他是该国唯一一家孤儿院的志愿英语教师。这两种力量结合在一起，首先为四名孤儿组织了大学奖学金。）可知，当第二次去尼泊尔时，穆拉帮助了四个孤儿上了大学。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Approaching 96, at an age when most are lonely and in poor health, Olga Murray, full of energy, has been eagerly planning a trip to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, while keeping in contact with hundreds of friends around the world.(年近96岁的奥尔加·默里(Olga Murray)，在大多数人都感到孤独和健康状况不佳的年纪，精力充沛的她一直在热切地计划去尼泊尔首都加德满都旅行，同时与世界各地的数百位朋友保持联系。)”可知，默里即使年岁近百依旧精力充沛，文中full of energy和B项中“energetic”为同义互换；根据文章最后一段“The two combined forces, beginning with organizing college scholarships for four of the orphans. After another five years, they had launched the Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF), which by then was supporting several hundred scholarship students and raising 60 homeless children. In 1994, the two hired Som Paneru, a former scholarship student, as executive director. Murray has taken several steps to make sure the NYF will survive after the unavoidable loss of her presence. She handed over the presidency to Paneru in 2012. Now, she is busy as usual, leading lots of fundraising campaigns.( 两家公司联合起来，首先为四名孤儿组织大学奖学金。又过了五年，他们成立了尼泊尔青年基金会，当时该基金会资助了数百名奖学金学生，并抚养了60名无家可归的儿童。1994年，两人聘请曾获得奖学金的索姆·帕内鲁(担任执行董事。默里已经采取了几项措施，以确保纽约电影节在她不可避免地失去存在之后能够生存下去。2012年，她将总统职位移交给了帕内鲁。现在，她像往常一样忙碌，领导了许多筹款活动。)”可知，默里真正做到了把自己的后半生交给了慈善事业，由此可以推测出她无私奉献的精神。故B项“精力充沛、无私”符合文意。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Living with a sense of purpose can improve the quality of those final years. Murray offers a vivid example of how to create a sense of meaning.(有目标的生活可以提高最后几年的生活质量。默里提供了一个如何创造意义感的生动例子。)”可知，本文主要以默里为例，说明了有目的地生活的重要性。故文章最佳标题应是D项“过有目的的生活”。故选D项。 C ChatGPT and other generative AI tools have raised concerns that chatbots will replace many kinds of workers. Writers, editors, and customer service representatives are among the jobs that could be affected. Supporters reason that AI might destroy some jobs while creating others. They also say that the technology will probably make workers more productive, benefiting themselves, their employers and the economy. Sam Altman is the chief of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. He said that he believes “AI is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, and this is going to change the way that a lot of current jobs function.” Nick Bunker is an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab, part of a job search website. He said that he does not believe the technology is going to lead to a lot of unemployment. “We have seen other big technological events in our history, and those didn’t lead to a large rise in unemployment. Technology destroys but also creates. There will be new jobs that come about,” he said. Erik Brynjolfsson of Stanford University, Danielle Li and Lindsey Raymond of MIT studied 5,200 customer-support agents at a large company. The researchers found that those who used the chatbot were 14 percent more productive than workers who did not use the chatbot. The workers who used AI took more calls and completed them faster. However, the fear that AI is a threat to some kinds of jobs has a basis in reality. Suumit Shah is an Indian business owner who announced last year that he had replaced 90 percent of his customer-support workers with a chatbot named Lina. Shah’s company, Dukaan, helps customers set up e-commerce sites to sell goods online. Shah said the average amount of time it took to answer a customer’s question shrank from 1 minute and 44 seconds to “instant”. The chatbot also cut the time needed to resolve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes. 8. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Bring about. B. Turn out. C. Fit in with. D. Get rid of. 9. What’s Bunker’s attitude to AI like chatbots? A. Confused. B. Amazed. C. Acceptable. D. Concerned. 10. What does the study in paragraph 3 tell us? A. Chatbots make workers more efficient. B. AI is a big threat to some kinds of jobs. C. Chatbots will destroy lots of human jobs. D. AI is much more productive than humans. 11. How does the author organize the text? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By offering suggestions. D. By listing research results. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕AI新技术聊天机器人的出现是否会取代人类的很多工作展开。文中通过列举很多人的观点及意见来论证作者的论点。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段首句“Supporters reason that AI might destroy some jobs while creating others. (支持者理由AI可能在创造其他工作的同时摧毁一些工作。)”可知，AI技术可能会毁掉一些工作。再根据划线单词所在句子“AI is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, and this is going to change the way that a lot of current jobs function. (AI将eliminate许多当前的工作，这将改变许多当前工作功能的方式。)”可知，AI将会摧毁一些工作，即消除很多现在的工作，这样会改变很多现今工作的运行方式。因此，画线单词在此处的意思是“消除；毁灭”。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中Bunker所说的内容“He said that he does not believe the technology is going to lead to a lot of unemployment. “We have seen other big technological events in our history, and those didn’t lead to a large rise in unemployment. Technology destroys but also creates. There will be new jobs that come about,” he said. (他说，他不相信这项技术会导致大量失业。“我们在历史上看到过其他重大技术事件，这些事件都没有导致失业率大幅上升。技术破坏，但也创造。会有新的就业机会出现。”)”可知，他说至今新技术的出现都没有导致失业率的大幅增长。新技术虽然会消除一些工作但同时也会创造新的工作。因此可推知，他对新技术AI的态度是认可的、接受的。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的最后两句“The researchers found that those who used the chatbot were 14 percent more productive than workers who did not use the chatbot. The workers who used AI took more calls and completed them faster. (研究人员发现，使用聊天机器人的人比不使用聊天机器人的工人高14％。使用AI的工人接了更多电话，并更快地完成了电话。)”可知，研究人员发现那些使用了chatbot的员工的工作效率明显比没有使用chatbot的员工更高。因此，本段主要说明chatbot会使得员工的工作效率更高。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。本文围绕AI新技术聊天机器人的出现是否会取代人类的很多工作展开，文章中作者抛出的每个论点后面都给出了现实生活中人们的例子来加以说明。第一段提出ChatGPT等生成式AI工具引发担忧（可能取代某些工作岗位），并列举受影响的职业（如作家、编辑、客服代表）。第二段支持者观点：AI会摧毁部分工作，但也会创造新岗位，并提高生产力（引用Sam Altman和Nick Bunker的言论）。Nick Bunker以历史技术变革为例，说明技术会破坏也会创造就业。第三段概括了斯坦福和MIT的研究团队对5200名客服代理的研究结果：使用AI的工人效率提升14%。第四段以印度企业家Suumit Shah为例，说明AI取代人工客服的实际案例（响应时间大幅缩短）。由此可知，文章是以通过举例子的方式来组织的。故选A项。 D It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind. The team is dedicated to protecting the 45, 000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2, 400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding (相应的) causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. The restoration (修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo (现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.” Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible. 12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals. B. To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road. C. To stress the significance of the restoration work. D. To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage. 13. Which of the following best describes the restoration work? A. Creative. B. Well-paid. C. Interesting. D. Demanding. 14. What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4? A. Spotting the faded murals in time. B. Fixing the missing parts of murals. C. Making preservation(保护) of the murals as they are. D. Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings. B. The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves. C. The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation. D. The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是敦煌莫高窟壁画的修复工作及其意义。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段尤其是最后一句话的““Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. (敦煌研究院的院长苏伯民说，“我们的工作——修复壁画和彩塑，是为了更好地保护洞穴，弘扬敦煌伟大的包容精神，并激励现代人。”)”可知，该团队致力于保护莫高窟735个洞穴中的45, 000平方米的壁画和2, 400多个彩绘雕塑，因为这些文物是几个世纪以来古丝绸之路上文化交流的产物，所以研究人员们表示，他们的工作是为了更好地保护洞穴，弘扬敦煌伟大的“包容”精神，并激励现代人。由此推知，本段目的在于强调修复工作的重要性。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding (相应的) causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. (修复一幅壁画需要一位全才。修复者应当通晓绘画，掌握石匠技艺，并具备一定的化学与物理知识，以便识别问题及其相应成因并提出解决方案。他们还必须选择适宜的材料与工具，进行试验，然后正式开展修复工作，并在之后评估修复效果。)”可知，修复壁画需要全能型选手。由此推知，修复工作要求很高。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“The restoration (修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo (现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. (修复工作应尊重原作，以维持壁画的现状为目标，而不是重新粉刷。)”可知，修复工作应尊重原作，以保持壁画的现状为目标，而不是重新绘制壁画。由此可知，修复壁画应注意保持壁画的现状。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind. (这是一场与时间的赛跑，尽管受到风沙侵蚀，敦煌研究院的几代文化遗产保护人员仍在努力保护莫高窟的艺术魅力。莫高窟被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。)”提出保护莫高窟文化的话题，文章第二段至第四段主要讲述壁画修复师的工作内容及其意义，文章最后一段“Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible. (洞穴保护就是不断地解决问题。苏说：“为了更好地保护这些洞穴，需要进行长期的研究，研究的时间跨度要比我们的有生之年长得多。”但至少，他们可以尽可能长时间地保持壁画的现状。)”可知，本文主要围绕着敦煌莫高窟的壁画修复工作展开。由此可知，“莫高窟壁画修复”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 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。 Following the announcement that a trendy bookstore in Xi’an is shutting down, the question about the sustainability (持续性) of physical bookstores has once again started a heated discussion. Physical bookstores need to find new ways to adapt in the face of e-commerce, and it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service. ____16____ E-commerce’s rise has led physical bookstores to reinvent themselves. They are becoming cultural and commercial centers. ____17____ Brands like SiSYPHE, Fang Suo Commune, and Yanjiyou bookstores have become popular, thanks to their beautiful designs and diverse offerings such as cultural and creative products. But Zhang Yi, former vice president of a publishing house, said that the difficulty these trendy bookstores face lies not in the new business models, but in what a bookstore should represent. Indeed, bookstores don’t have to stick to the traditional model of just selling books.____18____ In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture. A bookstore should be a heaven (天堂) for book lovers, matching with China’s longstanding tradition of “making friends through books”. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese history, emphasizes real connections over short-lived social media trends. ____19____ A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books. It’s worth noting that it is not enough for physical bookstores to rely on short-lived trends and creative products. ____20____ This approach helps them create a unique identity and ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace. A. Physical bookstores still face a series of problems. B. This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses. C. Bookstores that are still standing must develop and use their strengths. D. Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them. E. Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection. F. Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment. G. That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. E 20.

Supporters say it helps them handle pocket money and acquire useful life skills early. However, opponents argue that learning about finance might take time away from core subjects.

In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久的) home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected. For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely. So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone. Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors. One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There, outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it. Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building. However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets. 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。 Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. The note, written by her neighboring dog owner, Angela, said she had noticed Chips crying a lot when Maria was away. Angela, in Corote's voice, suggested they play together when Maria was not home. This way, Chips wouldn't feel lonely. Maria was deeply moved and felt relieved after reading the note. Instead of expressing discontent, her kind neighbor was really understanding and tried to offer support. Maria felt she needed to meet Angela and her dog. With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. The door opened and Maria saw a woman, who must be Angela, smiling at her. Corote, Angela's dog, followed her and stared at Chips happily. The two dogs immediately hit it off. A pleasant atmosphere was created when Maria and Angela were chatting. In the process, Maria also got valuable advice from Angela on how to keep Chips company. Through their shared experiences and the joy their pets brought them, Maria and her neighbor formed a deep connection and their lives became very colorful and meaningful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，短文叙述Maria刚搬到新公寓，感到孤独，于是领养了小狗Chips。但她担心白天上班时Chips独自在家会吵闹，影响邻居。然后她发现门口有个包裹，里面有给Chips的纸条和玩具，署名是另一只狗Corote。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“好奇的Maria打开纸条，开始读起来。”可知，第一段可描写纸条的内容以及Maria的感动以及想见一见Angela和她的狗。 ②由第二段首句内容“Chips跟在她后面，Maria亚敲了敲邻居的门。”可知，第二段可描写见面的情景以及获得了陪伴Chips的宝贵建议以及Maria的生活因此变得丰富多彩。 2.续写线索：看到信的内容——感动——想见一见Angela和她的狗——获得建议——生活丰富多彩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使感动：move /touch ②建议：suggest/recommend ③提供：offer /provide ④形成：form/shape 情绪类 ①宽慰的：relieved/ comforting ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Angela, in Corote's voice, suggested they play together when Maria was not home.
