From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day. One rainy afternoon, while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator(馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope. That night, Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap. As people wandered by, some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person. Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive. 24．What prevented Lily from sharing her artwork at first?

D．annoyed. 27．What can we learn from the passage? A．Rome wasn’t built in a day. B．Don’t cry over spilled milk. C．The pen is mightier than the sword. D．Stay true to who you are. C When music comes on, some people are toe-lappers or head-bobbers, others shake their hips，and then there are those who let the rhythm move them to a full-body boogie (布吉舞) . But, whatever it is, the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify us by our unique dancing “fingerprint”. Researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at Finland's University of Jyv skyl have been using motion capture (动作捕捉) technology to study what a person's dance moves say about his or her mood, personality, and ability to sympathize. They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to see if an ML machine, a form of artificial intelligence, would be able to identify which kind of music was playing based on how the participants of the study were dancing. In their study, the researchers motion captured 73 participants with the AI technology while they danced to eight different music genres: electronica, jazz, metal, pop, rap, reggae, country, and blues. The only instruction the dancers were given was to move in a way that felt natural. But what it could do was more shocking. The computer was able to correctly identify which music one of the participants was dancing to 94 percent of the time, regardless of what kind of music was playing, based on the pattern of a person's dance style. It was the movement of participants’ heads, shoulders and knees that were important markers in distinguishing between individual. “It seems as though a person’s dance movements a kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing,” said Pasi Saari, a co-author of the study, in a class. It’s possible that dance-recognition software could become something similar to face-recognition software but it doesn’t seem as practical. For now, researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance (监视) uses of this technology, but rather what the results of this study say about how humans respond to music. So don’t worry about being identified at nightclub by an AI via your signature dance moves yet. 28．What did the researchers expect to do with the ML machine? A．Test the dancers’ flexibility. B．Make dancers accustomed to the beat. C．Identify the music using dancers' moves. D．Check the accuracy of motion capture technology. 29．What might not help the AI technology determine a dancer’s identity? A．Head movement. B．Foot movement. C．Knee movement. D．Shoulder movement. 30．What do researchers want to use the results for? A．Putting it on the application market. B．Programming it to work at nightclub. C．Learning about the human response to music. D．Developing a software like face-recognition. 31．What can be the best title of the text? A．A music style matters less than its beat. B．New AI can generate your next dance move. C．A dance-recognition software will become more popular. D．New AI can identify you by your dancing “fingerprint”. D When to Trust Your Gut Humans have been practicing over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations without thinking too hard. If your ancestors spotted movement in the wild forest, they would run first and ask questions later. At the same time, the capacity to analyse and to plan is part of what distinguishes people from other animals. The question of when to trust your gut and when to test your assumptions whether to think fast or slow, in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist matters in the office as much as it does in the flat grassland. Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Strategic maintenance and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations. Processes are increasingly designed to rule out instinctive responses. From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, deliberation beats instinct. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently less tractable to analysis. Does a marketing campaign capture the essence of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team? In tricky customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script. Gut instincts can also be improved (call it “probiotic management”). Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more accurate with experience. In one well-known experiment, conducted in 2012, volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were counterfeit or real. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate over their decision. Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be. However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. Instinctive decision-making is often the only way to get through the day. Researchers at Cornell University once estimated that people make over 200 decisions a day about food alone. The workplace is nothing but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to prioritize, when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day. When to use intuition in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does the decision-maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision? Slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning to hesitation. 32．What’s the function of the second paragraph? A．To clearly state the main idea of the article. B．To introduce examples to support the main idea. C．To critically include the other side of viewpoint. D．To support the main idea from the opposite perspective. 33．In which situation may people trust their gut? A．The working mechanism is perfectly organized. B．The time window for making decision is limited. C．The reasoning process matters more than emotion. D．The decision is critical to the survival of a company. 34．What can be implied from the passage? A．The ability to trust your gut matters more nowadays. B．Experience plays a vital role in cultivating gut instincts. C．Gut instincts are more advisable in screening job applicants. D．Gut instincts can be improved by owning designer products. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time. 35 Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever. 36 If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice, it will come easier over time. 37 Loving Kindness Meditation (默想) (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times. The meditation asks us to send thoughts of loving kindness to loved ones, then to acquaintances (people you don’t know very well) and finally to challenging people. Over time, our unkind thoughts are replaced with more open, accepting ones. Anger is replaced by love, or at least kindness. Donald Altman, a psychotherapist from Portland, Oregon, says LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt. 38 So how? To begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place to sit. He says to then imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the words at yourself, “May I be well, happy and at peace.” 39 Replace the “I” with the name of a teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life. End the meditation by spreading the blessing to all living beings. Indeed, we should find our own way toward LKM — but only if we are prepared to access its benefits and extend them to anyone who may need them. A．The good news is that it isn’t lost. B．Luckily, we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance. C．At work, we’ve had to face the added pressure these demanding jobs create. D．Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness. E．For that reason, we could all benefit from love’s warm and comforting blessing. F．You can combine the words with breathing, repeating a phrase of love for yourself. G．Outside, we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on the subway. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 We Need to Talk... and Write A recent survey conducted by UNESCO reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. Half of the 1,333 participants admitted to having poor verbal skills, while 40% struggled with written expressions. Poor education could be a cause of poor communication skills, but that may not explain everything. Most of the participants were well-educated individuals in their 20s and 30s, with over 60% holding a bachelor’s degree or higher. The problem more likely resulted from the rise of digital communication, with young people now preferring texting short messages, which may limit their ability to engage in meaningful conversations and write complete sentences. Effective verbal and written communication skills are essential both in school and in the workplace. Warren Buffett, a famous investor, always urges young people to learn public speaking. It may be scary to speak in front of a group, but it boosts confidence. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is known for valuing the written word. He replaces PowerPoint presentations in meetings with “six-page, narratively-structured (叙事结构)” memos. Meetings start with each attendee sitting and silently reading a memo for the first 30 minutes. The decline in communication skills is a worldwide problem. In America, there is a movement among “homeschoolers” to. try to solve the problem by returning to ancient educational wisdom, the “Trivium”, which dates back to medieval times in Europe. The word comes from Latin and means “where three roads meet.” The subjects — the “three roads” — are grammar, rhetoric and logic. Grammar means learning how to write a complete and accurate sentence. Rhetoric is the use of similes (明喻), metaphors (暗喻) and other grammatical devices. And logic is the use of reason to discover what is true or not true, or what can be proved or disproved. Whether such classical education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen, but it offers a glimmer of hope in this challenging situation. 40．What does the survey conducted by UNESCO reveal? 41．What is the main reason for young people’s poor communication skills? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶Ancient educational wisdom is applied to address today’s communication decline in America, and it has already helped students improve expressive skills. 43．Besides the methods mentioned in the passage, what other ways would you use to improve your writing skills? (In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) 44．假如你是红星中学高中生李华，你所在的校英语戏剧社团（English drama club）正在招募新成员。在你校就读的英国交换生Jim是戏剧爱好者，请你用英语给他写封信，邀请他加入。内容如下： 1．社团的常规活动； 2．报名方式和截止日期。 注意：1．词数100左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12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 $ 【灿烂六月·高考金8卷】 备战2026年高考英语模拟卷（北京卷01） 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2B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。 第一部分知识运用（共两节,满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共10小题;每小题1.5分,共15分） 阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was in High School, our gym class focused on swimming.

From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day. One rainy afternoon, while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator(馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope. That night, Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap. As people wandered by, some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person. Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive. 24．What prevented Lily from sharing her artwork at first? A．Passion for painting in secret. B．Anxiety about others’ opinions. C．Disinterest in others’ judgment. D．Fear of failure in public display. 25．How did the comment of the curator influence Lily? A．It discouraged her from showing her artwork. B．It made her doubt her ability to create perfect art. C．It convinced her that only perfect pieces deserve to be shown. D．It inspired her to accept flaws and share her artwork. 26．After Lily displayed her artwork, she felt more ______. A．depressed. B．hesitant. C．secure. D．annoyed. 27．What can we learn from the passage? A．Rome wasn’t built in a day. B．Don’t cry over spilled milk. C．The pen is mightier than the sword. D．Stay true to who you are. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述热爱绘画的莉莉因怕评判隐藏作品，后受馆长启发展示作品并成长为艺术家，鼓励他人分享创作的故事。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day.(然而，对他人评判的恐惧让她把作品藏了起来；她偷偷地画画，每一幅作品都是等待重见天日的美丽珍宝。)”可知，最初阻止莉莉分享作品的是她对他人看法的焦虑。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的““Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope.(‘艺术无关完美，而在于联系，’他说道，并强调展现真实的自己——包括所有缺点——至关重要。他的话引起了她的共鸣，点燃了她的希望。)”以及第三段中莉莉决定在当地集市展示作品可知，馆长的话启发莉莉接受自身作品的不足并分享作品。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece.(当莉莉分享作品背后的故事时，她第一次感受到温暖在全身蔓延。)”以及第五段中的“Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment.(每一次交流都增强了她的信心，她不再害怕评判。)”可知，展示作品后，莉莉变得更有信心，内心更有安全感。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive.( “艺术不在于完美；这是关于联系的，”她告诉他们，呼应了馆长的话。通过她的旅程，她提醒每个人，我们的故事，无论多么不完美，都值得与世界分享，因为它们让我们成为人类，让我们真正活着。)”可推知，我们能从文章中学到做真实的自己这个道理。故选D项。 C When music comes on, some people are toe-lappers or head-bobbers, others shake their hips，and then there are those who let the rhythm move them to a full-body boogie (布吉舞) . But, whatever it is, the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify us by our unique dancing “fingerprint”. Researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at Finland's University of Jyv skyl have been using motion capture (动作捕捉) technology to study what a person's dance moves say about his or her mood, personality, and ability to sympathize. They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to see if an ML machine, a form of artificial intelligence, would be able to identify which kind of music was playing based on how the participants of the study were dancing. In their study, the researchers motion captured 73 participants with the AI technology while they danced to eight different music genres: electronica, jazz, metal, pop, rap, reggae, country, and blues. The only instruction the dancers were given was to move in a way that felt natural. But what it could do was more shocking. The computer was able to correctly identify which music one of the participants was dancing to 94 percent of the time, regardless of what kind of music was playing, based on the pattern of a person's dance style. It was the movement of participants’ heads, shoulders and knees that were important markers in distinguishing between individual. “It seems as though a person’s dance movements a kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing,” said Pasi Saari, a co-author of the study, in a class. It’s possible that dance-recognition software could become something similar to face-recognition software but it doesn’t seem as practical. For now, researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance (监视) uses of this technology, but rather what the results of this study say about how humans respond to music. So don’t worry about being identified at nightclub by an AI via your signature dance moves yet. 28．What did the researchers expect to do with the ML machine? A．Test the dancers’ flexibility. B．Make dancers accustomed to the beat. C．Identify the music using dancers' moves. D．Check the accuracy of motion capture technology. 29．What might not help the AI technology determine a dancer’s identity? A．Head movement. B．Foot movement. C．Knee movement. D．Shoulder movement. 30．What do researchers want to use the results for? A．Putting it on the application market. B．Programming it to work at nightclub. C．Learning about the human response to music. D．Developing a software like face-recognition. 31．What can be the best title of the text? A．A music style matters less than its beat. B．New AI can generate your next dance move. C．A dance-recognition software will become more popular. D．New AI can identify you by your dancing “fingerprint”. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．C 31．D 【分析】 本文是说明文。 文章介绍了一项研究结果：新的AI技术可以通过跳舞者独特的跳舞“指纹”来识别他们。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to see if an ML machine, a form of artificial intelligence, would be able to identify which kind of music was playing based on how the participants of the study were dancing.（最近，他们在尝试看人工智能ML机器是否能够根据研究参与者跳舞的方式来识别出播放的音乐时，有了一个意外发现。）”可知， 研究人员期望用ML机器根据舞蹈者的动作识别音乐。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“It was the movement of participants’ heads, shoulders and knees that were important markers in distinguishing between individual.（参与者头部、肩膀和膝盖的运动是区分个体的重要标志。）”可知， 跳舞者的脚部运动不能帮助AI技术确定跳舞者的身份。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance (监视) uses of this technology, but rather what the results of this study say about how humans respond to music.（研究人员说他们感兴趣的不是这种技术的监视用途，而是这项研究关于人类对音乐是如何反应的结果。）”可知，研究人员想用这个研究的结果来了解人类对音乐的反应。故选C。 31．主旨大意题。文章第一段提到“whatever it is, the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify us by our unique dancing “fingerprint”. （不管是什么舞蹈，我们跟着节拍跳舞的方式对一个人来说是如此明显，以至于电脑现在可以通过我们独特的跳舞“指纹”来识别我们。）”；第三段中提到研究人员Pasi Saari 所说的话“It seems as though a person’s dance movements a kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing.( 一个人的舞蹈动作就好像是一种指纹。每个人都有自己独特的动作特征，无论演奏什么音乐，这些特征都是不变的。)”由此可知，文章是关于新的AI技术能够通过独特的跳舞“指纹”来识别跳舞者。D项“新的AI技术能够通过你的跳舞“指纹”来识别你”可以作为本文标题。故选D。 D When to Trust Your Gut Humans have been practicing over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations without thinking too hard. If your ancestors spotted movement in the wild forest, they would run first and ask questions later. At the same time, the capacity to analyse and to plan is part of what distinguishes people from other animals. The question of when to trust your gut and when to test your assumptions whether to think fast or slow, in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist matters in the office as much as it does in the flat grassland. Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Strategic maintenance and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations. Processes are increasingly designed to rule out instinctive responses. From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, deliberation beats instinct. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently less tractable to analysis. Does a marketing campaign capture the essence of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team? In tricky customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script. Gut instincts can also be improved (call it “probiotic management”). Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more accurate with experience. In one well-known experiment, conducted in 2012, volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were counterfeit or real. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate over their decision. Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be. However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. Instinctive decision-making is often the only way to get through the day. Researchers at Cornell University once estimated that people make over 200 decisions a day about food alone. The workplace is nothing but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to prioritize, when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day. When to use intuition in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does the decision-maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision? Slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning to hesitation. 32．What’s the function of the second paragraph? A．To clearly state the main idea of the article. B．To introduce examples to support the main idea. C．To critically include the other side of viewpoint. D．To support the main idea from the opposite perspective. 33．In which situation may people trust their gut? A．The working mechanism is perfectly organized. B．The time window for making decision is limited. C．The reasoning process matters more than emotion. D．The decision is critical to the survival of a company. 34．What can be implied from the passage? A．The ability to trust your gut matters more nowadays. B．Experience plays a vital role in cultivating gut instincts. C．Gut instincts are more advisable in screening job applicants. D．Gut instincts can be improved by owning designer products. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨在工作场合中何时该相信直觉、何时该理性分析，分析了审慎思考与直觉决策各自的适用场景及直觉的提升方式。 32．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Strategic maintenance and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations. Processes are increasingly designed to rule out instinctive responses. From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, deliberation beats instinct. (审慎思考是管理良好的工作场所的特征。战略维护和预算讨论建立在多轮会议、备忘录、公式和演示的基础上。流程设计得越来越能排除本能反应。从求职者的盲筛到使用“红队”技术剖析公司计划，审慎思考都优于本能。)”可知，第二段通过列举工作中战略维护、预算讨论、求职者盲筛等例子，支撑“审慎思考在工作场合中很重要”这一观点，因此本段的功能是“从对立角度（相对于后文的‘直觉’）支持主旨。故选D项。 33．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. Instinctive decision-making is often the only way to get through the day. (然而，采用快速思考的真正原因是它确实很快。凭直觉做决定往往是顺利度过一天的唯一方法。)”可知，直觉决策的优势在于速度快，由此可推知，当决策的时间窗口有限（需要快速做决定）时，人们可能会相信直觉。故选B项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more accurate with experience. In one well-known experiment, conducted in 2012, volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were counterfeit or real. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate over their decision. Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be. (大量研究表明，直觉会随着经验的积累而变得更准确。在2012年进行的一项著名实验中，志愿者被要求判断一组名牌手袋是假货还是正品。一些人被要求凭直觉判断，另一些人则被要求深思熟虑后再做决定。对于那些拥有至少三个名牌手袋的人来说，直觉的效果更好；事实上，它比分析更有效。你越专业，你的直觉往往就越好。)”可知，实验表明有相关经验（拥有名牌手袋）的人直觉更准确，且“越专业直觉越好”，由此可推断，经验在培养直觉方面起着至关重要的作用。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time. 35 Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever. 36 If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice, it will come easier over time. 37 Loving Kindness Meditation (默想) (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times. The meditation asks us to send thoughts of loving kindness to loved ones, then to acquaintances (people you don’t know very well) and finally to challenging people. Over time, our unkind thoughts are replaced with more open, accepting ones. Anger is replaced by love, or at least kindness. Donald Altman, a psychotherapist from Portland, Oregon, says LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt. 38 So how? To begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place to sit. He says to then imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the words at yourself, “May I be well, happy and at peace.” 39 Replace the “I” with the name of a teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life. End the meditation by spreading the blessing to all living beings. Indeed, we should find our own way toward LKM — but only if we are prepared to access its benefits and extend them to anyone who may need them. A．The good news is that it isn’t lost. B．Luckily, we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance. C．At work, we’ve had to face the added pressure these demanding jobs create. D．Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness. E．For that reason, we could all benefit from love’s warm and comforting blessing. F．You can combine the words with breathing, repeating a phrase of love for yourself. G．Outside, we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on the subway. 【答案】35．G 36．A 37．B 38．E 39．D 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是仁爱冥想。 35．空格前说“Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time.(有时在我们的生活中，我们会遇到这样的问题：所爱的人和陌生人让我们烦恼。在家里，我们不得不忍受孩子们在网上会议时的尖叫，家人一直在电脑前)”，G选项“Outside, we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on the subway.(在外面，我们遇到了在繁忙道路上超速行驶的司机和在地铁上大声说话的乘客)”中的“Outside”和前面的“At home”形成对比，“drivers”和“passengers”指的是前面的“strangers”，因此G选项承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 36．空格前说“Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever.(善良似乎是遥远的记忆。与烦人的室友或邻居和平相处的能力似乎比以往任何时候都要困难)”，空格后说“If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice, it will come easier over time.(如果我们把善良当作一种技能，让它成为日常练习，随着时间的推移，它会变得更容易)”可知，善良并没有消失，A选项“The good news is that it isn’t lost.(好消息是它没有丢失)”正好说明了这一点，因此A选项承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 37．空格后说“Loving Kindness Meditation (默想) (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times.(仁爱冥想（LKM）的起源可以追溯到早期的佛教，它帮助我们在困难时期找到彼此的同情)”可知，这是一种古老的做法，B选项“Luckily, we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance.(幸运的是，我们可以从古代的训练中寻求指导)”指出这是古老的方法，因此B选项引起下文，符合语境，故选B。 38．空格前“LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt.(默想可以帮助我们认识到我们所有人都是脆弱的，并且我们是被伤害过的)”和“imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.”(想象一个最受喜爱的家庭成员或者朋友给你发送信息“你要身体健康，开心和平静”)”结合两处可知。因为脆弱，更希望体会到温暖。选项E中，that代词可以明确指代前文提到的“we are all weak and have been hurt.”这个原因，“we could all benefit from love’s warm and comforting blessing.”我们所有人都可以更好的体会爱的温暖为下文如何做，做了铺垫。故选E。 39．空格后说“Replace the “I” with the name of a teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life.(把“我”的名字换成老师或教练，然后是家人或朋友，然后是熟人，最后是你生活中不友好的人)”，因此此处有一个顺序，即越来越不喜欢。D选项“Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness.(然后，按照喜爱程度减少的顺序，将祝福传递给他人)”，因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 We Need to Talk... and Write A recent survey conducted by UNESCO reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. Half of the 1,333 participants admitted to having poor verbal skills, while 40% struggled with written expressions. Poor education could be a cause of poor communication skills, but that may not explain everything. Most of the participants were well-educated individuals in their 20s and 30s, with over 60% holding a bachelor’s degree or higher. The problem more likely resulted from the rise of digital communication, with young people now preferring texting short messages, which may limit their ability to engage in meaningful conversations and write complete sentences. Effective verbal and written communication skills are essential both in school and in the workplace. Warren Buffett, a famous investor, always urges young people to learn public speaking. It may be scary to speak in front of a group, but it boosts confidence. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is known for valuing the written word. He replaces PowerPoint presentations in meetings with “six-page, narratively-structured (叙事结构)” memos. Meetings start with each attendee sitting and silently reading a memo for the first 30 minutes. The decline in communication skills is a worldwide problem. In America, there is a movement among “homeschoolers” to. try to solve the problem by returning to ancient educational wisdom, the “Trivium”, which dates back to medieval times in Europe. The word comes from Latin and means “where three roads meet.” The subjects — the “three roads” — are grammar, rhetoric and logic. Grammar means learning how to write a complete and accurate sentence. Rhetoric is the use of similes (明喻), metaphors (暗喻) and other grammatical devices. And logic is the use of reason to discover what is true or not true, or what can be proved or disproved. Whether such classical education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen, but it offers a glimmer of hope in this challenging situation. 40．What does the survey conducted by UNESCO reveal? 41．What is the main reason for young people’s poor communication skills? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶Ancient educational wisdom is applied to address today’s communication decline in America, and it has already helped students improve expressive skills. 43．Besides the methods mentioned in the passage, what other ways would you use to improve your writing skills? (In about 40 words) 【答案】40．It reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. 41．The rise of digital communication. 42．Ancient educational wisdom is applied to address today’s communication decline in American and it has already helped students improve expressive skills. According to the passage, whether such traditional education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen. 43．I would read a lot of excellent literary works, analyze their writing techniques and expressions, learn new words and sentence patterns, and write diaries regularly to improve my writing skills. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述年轻人沟通能力下降原因及改善方法。 40．考查细节理解。由文章第一段“A recent survey conducted by UNESCO reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. Half of the 1,333 participants admitted to having poor verbal skills, while 40% struggled with written expressions. (联合国教科文组织最近进行的一项调查显示，年轻人表达思想和观点的能力显著下降。在1333名参与者中，有一半承认自己口头表达能力不佳，40%的人在书面表达方面存在困难。)”可知，调查揭示了年轻人表达思想和观点的能力显著下降。故答案为：It reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. 41．考查细节理解。由文章第二段中的“The problem more likely resulted from the rise of digital communication, with young people now preferring texting short messages, which may limit their ability to engage in meaningful conversations and write complete sentences. (这个问题更可能是由于数字通信的兴起造成的，年轻人现在更喜欢发送短信，这可能限制了他们进行有意义对话和写出完整句子的能力。)”可知，年轻人沟通能力差的主要原因是数字通信的兴起。故答案为：The rise of digital communication. 42．考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中的“Whether such classical education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen, but it offers a glimmer of hope in this challenging situation. (这种古典教育能否帮助解决沟通技能下降的问题仍有待观察，但它为这一挑战性局面带来了一线希望。)”可知，这种古典教育（古代教育智慧）是否能帮助解决沟通能力下降的问题还有待观察，而不是已经帮助学生提高了表达能力。所以错误的部分是and it has already helped students improve expressive skills。答案为：Ancient educational wisdom is applied to address today’s communication decline in American and it has already helped students improve expressive skills. According to the passage, whether such traditional education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen. 43．开放性题目，此题要求回答：除了文章中提到的方法，你还会用什么其他方法来提高你的写作技巧？答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我会阅读很多优秀的文学作品，分析他们的写作技巧和表达方式，学习新单词和句型，定期写日记来提高我的写作技巧。故答案为：I would read a lot of excellent literary works, analyze their writing techniques and expressions, learn new words and sentence patterns, and write diaries regularly to improve my writing skills. 第二节(20分) 44．假如你是红星中学高中生李华，你所在的校英语戏剧社团（English drama club）正在招募新成员。在你校就读的英国交换生Jim是戏剧爱好者，请你用英语给他写封信，邀请他加入。内容如下： 1．社团的常规活动； 2．报名方式和截止日期。 注意：1．词数100左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Hearing that you’re a big fan of drama, I’m excited to tell you that our school’s English Drama Club is looking for new members, and I think you’d be a perfect fit!

From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day. One rainy afternoon, while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator(馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope. That night, Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap. As people wandered by, some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person. Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive. 24．What prevented Lily from sharing her artwork at first?

D．annoyed. 27．What can we learn from the passage? A．Rome wasn’t built in a day. B．Don’t cry over spilled milk. C．The pen is mightier than the sword. D．Stay true to who you are. C When music comes on, some people are toe-lappers or head-bobbers, others shake their hips，and then there are those who let the rhythm move them to a full-body boogie (布吉舞) . But, whatever it is, the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify us by our unique dancing “fingerprint”. Researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at Finland's University of Jyv skyl have been using motion capture (动作捕捉) technology to study what a person's dance moves say about his or her mood, personality, and ability to sympathize. They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to see if an ML machine, a form of artificial intelligence, would be able to identify which kind of music was playing based on how the participants of the study were dancing. In their study, the researchers motion captured 73 participants with the AI technology while they danced to eight different music genres: electronica, jazz, metal, pop, rap, reggae, country, and blues. The only instruction the dancers were given was to move in a way that felt natural. But what it could do was more shocking. The computer was able to correctly identify which music one of the participants was dancing to 94 percent of the time, regardless of what kind of music was playing, based on the pattern of a person's dance style. It was the movement of participants’ heads, shoulders and knees that were important markers in distinguishing between individual. “It seems as though a person’s dance movements a kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing,” said Pasi Saari, a co-author of the study, in a class. It’s possible that dance-recognition software could become something similar to face-recognition software but it doesn’t seem as practical. For now, researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance (监视) uses of this technology, but rather what the results of this study say about how humans respond to music. So don’t worry about being identified at nightclub by an AI via your signature dance moves yet. 28．What did the researchers expect to do with the ML machine? A．Test the dancers’ flexibility. B．Make dancers accustomed to the beat. C．Identify the music using dancers' moves. D．Check the accuracy of motion capture technology. 29．What might not help the AI technology determine a dancer’s identity? A．Head movement. B．Foot movement. C．Knee movement. D．Shoulder movement. 30．What do researchers want to use the results for? A．Putting it on the application market. B．Programming it to work at nightclub. C．Learning about the human response to music. D．Developing a software like face-recognition. 31．What can be the best title of the text? A．A music style matters less than its beat. B．New AI can generate your next dance move. C．A dance-recognition software will become more popular. D．New AI can identify you by your dancing “fingerprint”. D When to Trust Your Gut Humans have been practicing over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations without thinking too hard. If your ancestors spotted movement in the wild forest, they would run first and ask questions later. At the same time, the capacity to analyse and to plan is part of what distinguishes people from other animals. The question of when to trust your gut and when to test your assumptions whether to think fast or slow, in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist matters in the office as much as it does in the flat grassland. Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Strategic maintenance and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations. Processes are increasingly designed to rule out instinctive responses. From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, deliberation beats instinct. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently less tractable to analysis. Does a marketing campaign capture the essence of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team? In tricky customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script. Gut instincts can also be improved (call it “probiotic management”). Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more accurate with experience. In one well-known experiment, conducted in 2012, volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were counterfeit or real. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate over their decision. Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be. However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. Instinctive decision-making is often the only way to get through the day. Researchers at Cornell University once estimated that people make over 200 decisions a day about food alone. The workplace is nothing but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to prioritize, when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day. When to use intuition in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does the decision-maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision? Slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning to hesitation. 32．What’s the function of the second paragraph? A．To clearly state the main idea of the article. B．To introduce examples to support the main idea. C．To critically include the other side of viewpoint. D．To support the main idea from the opposite perspective. 33．In which situation may people trust their gut? A．The working mechanism is perfectly organized. B．The time window for making decision is limited. C．The reasoning process matters more than emotion. D．The decision is critical to the survival of a company. 34．What can be implied from the passage? A．The ability to trust your gut matters more nowadays. B．Experience plays a vital role in cultivating gut instincts. C．Gut instincts are more advisable in screening job applicants. D．Gut instincts can be improved by owning designer products. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time. 35 Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever. 36 If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice, it will come easier over time. 37 Loving Kindness Meditation (默想) (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times. The meditation asks us to send thoughts of loving kindness to loved ones, then to acquaintances (people you don’t know very well) and finally to challenging people. Over time, our unkind thoughts are replaced with more open, accepting ones. Anger is replaced by love, or at least kindness. Donald Altman, a psychotherapist from Portland, Oregon, says LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt. 38 So how? To begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place to sit. He says to then imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the words at yourself, “May I be well, happy and at peace.” 39 Replace the “I” with the name of a teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life. End the meditation by spreading the blessing to all living beings. Indeed, we should find our own way toward LKM — but only if we are prepared to access its benefits and extend them to anyone who may need them. A．The good news is that it isn’t lost. B．Luckily, we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance. C．At work, we’ve had to face the added pressure these demanding jobs create. D．Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness. E．For that reason, we could all benefit from love’s warm and comforting blessing. F．You can combine the words with breathing, repeating a phrase of love for yourself. G．Outside, we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on the subway. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 We Need to Talk... and Write A recent survey conducted by UNESCO reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas.
