He estimates he has cooked 50,000 burgers (汉堡包). Now, Vardakostas co-owns a burger joint called Creator, in San Francisco, California. But he doesn’t stand over a grill flipping burgers, and neither do his employees. At Creator, burgers are cooked and assembled entirely by machine. And because it costs less to maintain the machine than to pay a kitchen’s worth of employees, burgers cost less. Creator is just one example of a growing phenomenon: Automation is taking over more and more jobs. That means work is done by machines or computers instead of people. According to a report from McKinsey Global Institute, about 800 million people could be forced out of their jobs by 2030, McKinsey predicts that as technology improves, some tasks will be done more quickly or cheaply by machine, so businesses will install robots or computer programs to perform them. Some jobs are more likely to be automated than others. Machines can do jobs that have three characteristics: They are routine, repetitive, and predictable. Some of these jobs pay low wages and require little education. But others pay well and demand an advanced college degree. Taxi drivers, cashiers, lawyers, and doctors all perform some tasks that can be done by machines. So what jobs are safe from automation? Answers include coming up with new ideas or work that involves interacting with other people and building relationships, Jobs in engineering, science, the arts,therapy, and nursing are examples. At Creator, Vardakostas hired people to do just that kind of work. Instead of repetitive burger prepping, workers interact with customers and advise them on flavor pairings, like mushroom sauce with pickles and onion jam. “In our world at Creator, all the work is creative and social,” Vardakostas says. “And I think that is what we’re going to see more of the future.” 21．What’s the difference between Creator and a traditional restaurant? A．There is neither worker nor waiters at Creator at all. B．The price of burgers at Creator is higher than that of a traditional one. C．The number of owners of Creator is larger than that of a traditional one. D．Some work is done by machines instead of humans at Creator. 22．What does the report from McKinsey Global Institute predict? A．More working opportunities have to be created. B．More cheap machines will be invented. C．A lot of people will lose their jobs. D．Humans will have difficulty in running business. 23．Why does the author mention Creator? A．To introduce the topic of the text. B．To increase the plot of the story. C．To introduce a modern restaurant. D．To make an advertisement for Vardakostas. 【答案】21．D 22．C 23．A 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。通过Creator这个事例来说明自动化正在接管越来越多的工作。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段的At Creator, burgers are cooked and assembled entirely by machine. 在Creator，汉堡完全由机器烹饪和组装。由此可知，创意餐厅和传统餐厅的区别是有些工作是由机器而不是人类来完成的，故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据第四段的According to a report from McKinsey Global Institute, about 800 million people could be forced out of their jobs by 2030根据麦肯锡全球研究所的一份报告，到2030年，大约有8亿人将被迫失业。由此可知，麦肯锡全球报告预测了很多人会失业，故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据第三段的Creator is just one example of a growing phenomenon: Automation is taking over more and more jobs. Creator只是一个不断增长的现象的例子：自动化正在接管越来越多的工作。由此可知，此处想要利用Creator这个例子引出下文，下文的内容都说明人类工作可能会被自动化所代替，故选A。 B Nostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in the current accelerated, unexpected changes. More and more Americans are turning back with longing to what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games. Is it a mistake to miss the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it suggests loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, etc. But new studies suggest that a modest amount of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self-discovery and memories are a psychological response when you want to take a break from negativity. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally,” says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. “That is such a powerful comfort, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn’t have to earn our love.” Nostalgia can turn even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let’s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to countless American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, “After all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then.” So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, a long-gone family pet, etc. As Dr. Sedikides says, “Nostalgia is absolutely central to human experience.” But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well: “You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.” 24．How is nostalgia viewed by the psychologists in Paragraph 2? A．It might leave a person in low spirits. B．It suggests loneliness suffered in the past. C．It saves people from dull reality temporarily. D．It helps to solve the problems in modern life. 25．What aspect of nostalgia is discussed in Paragraph 3? A．Its reasons. B．Its benefits. C．Its side effects. D．Its working principles. 26．Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the passage? A．He had a strong sense of identity. B．He took pictures of the good old days. C．He is an example of being obsessed with the past D．He drew inspiration from nostalgia for his works. 27．What is the author’s attitude towards nostalgia? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Indifferent. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．D 27．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在当今日新月异的社会中，怀旧变得越来越普遍，不同的心理学家对此发表了不同的看法。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Some psychologists warn”和“Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, etc.(心理学家Stephanie Coontz认为，怀旧会分散我们解决现代生活问题的注意力，并导致焦虑、抑郁、失眠等)”可推知，心理学家对怀旧持消极的观点，认为怀旧可能让人情绪低落。故选A。 25．主旨大意题。根据第三段首句“But new studies suggest that a modest amount of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial.(但新的研究表明，适度的怀旧不仅无害，而且实际上有益)”可知，首句为本段的主题句，即怀旧有好处。再根据接下来的内容可知，本段主要讨论的是怀旧的益处。故选B。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Let’s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to countless American writers.(我们不要忘记，怀旧一直是无数美国作家的灵感来源)”并结合接下来提到的Mark Twain的例子可推知，提到Mark Twain是为了证明前面的观点，即他从怀旧中为自己的作品吸取灵感。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据文章中的“Some psychologists warn that”“Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that”“new studies suggest that”“says Krystine Batcho”“Dr. Sedikides says”等信息可知，在针对怀旧的讨论上，作者从头至尾都在引用其他人和研究的观点，并没有从个人角度发表意见。由此推知，作者的态度是客观的。故选C。 C Dear Younger Me, It’s hard to believe we’re nearing our senior years. While I hope we have 20 or 30 good years ahead, it’s time to think about some choices we regret. I can’t hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18. Our brains weren’t fully developed, and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence. We went against our parents. We got close to friends, but then again pushed them back. Yes, there were secrets and lies, but that’s part of growing up. However, I think you should apologize for how you started our career (事业). You had always dreamed of being a reporter, but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest thing to do in your field. Over time, you felt you didn’t learn much, even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible. It wasn’t until we changed to marketing that we found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life. We bought a lovely home in the city centre. But starting a family brought new challenges.The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids’ activities. And when the kids went to college, we faced an empty home and had to rediscover who we were besides parents. It felt like a new stage of youth, where we were re-learning about life without focusing on our kids. We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work, trying to stay connected while finding our own space. Now, as we approach senior years, life feels peaceful. We’ve had ups and downs, from losing our mom to watching our kids grow. So, younger me, let’s pardon ourselves for past mistakes. We can’t move forward until we make peace with our past. Hopefully, our best days are still ahead. The Senior Me 28．What’s the purpose of “me” writing this letter? A．To reflect on the past. B．To plan for the future. C．To catch up with a friend. D．To ask for some advice. 29．What makes “my” growth so challenging before “I” turned 18? A．Failing to take responsibilities. B．Having no elder brothers or sisters. C．Dealing with relationships with others. D．Wanting to stay dependent on parents. 30．Why was “I” disappointed with the first job? A．It didn’t pay much. B．It didn’t match my major. C．It required long working hours. D．It offered me little job growth. 31．How did “I” adjust“my” life after the kids went to college? A．By emptying our home. B．By finding a new purpose. C．By keeping a distance from others. D．By learning to accept growing old. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．B 【解析】本文是篇书信形式的记叙文。文章是步入老年的作者写给年轻时的自己的一封信，作者回忆了自己过去的经历，反思自己所做的一些错误选择，决定与过去的错误和解，对未来充满了希望。 28．推理判断题。根据第一段“While I hope we have 20 or 30 good years ahead, it’s time to think about some choices we regret.(虽然我希望我们还有20年或30年的美好时光，但现在是时候考虑一些我们后悔的选择了)”和文章内容可知，作者写这封信是为了回忆过去，反思自己所做的一些错误的选择。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“We went against our parents. We got close to friends, but then again pushed them back. Yes, there were secrets and lies, but that’s part of growing up.(我们和父母对着干。我们和朋友走得很近，但后来又疏远了他们。是的，有秘密和谎言，但这是成长的一部分。)”可知，在18岁之前，作者还不会很好地处理与他人的关系，这也让他的成长过程富有挑战性。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Over time, you felt you didn’t learn much, even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible.(随着时间的推移，你觉得你没有学到很多东西，即使工资很高，工作时间也很灵活。)”可知，作者对第一份工作失望，是因为他从中学不到东西，在工作中得不到成长。故选D。 31．细节理解题。根据第四段“We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work, trying to stay connected while finding our own space.(我们找到了兼职工作和有意义的志愿者工作，试图在寻找自己空间的同时保持社会联系。)”可知，作者在孩子上大学之后，通过找到新的工作，找到了新的目标，从而调整自己的生活。故选B。 D There is a profound relationship between science fiction and science. It is often said that stories change the world, what is less often heard is that stories change science, and therefore the future. The use of science fiction to explore our world is similar to scenario (剧情) planning in Futures Studies, which shapes our ideas about the future, and goes beyond predicting artifacts that once seemed impossible to us like Verne’s submarine or the satellites of 2001 Space Odyssey. In the words of Dutch researcher Sofia Kaloterakis, “Science fiction narratives structure our imaginative models about technoscientific projects such as robotics or space exploration”. Have you ever wondered how science fiction novels have impacted the idea we have about Artificial Intelligence or how Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson’s novel, has impacted what we now call the Metaverse (元宇宙)? Science fiction helps us define possible futures. It provides us with an understanding of the rules underlying fictional worlds. It also allows us to put technological prototypes (原型) in the context of their use by humans. But most importantly, it determines the way we structure scientific thought and intervene (干预) in the future. Alex McDowell, Creator of the Minority Report worldbuilding in 2002, and Peter von Stackelberg explain what fictional narratives can bring to the table: The richness of “storyworlds” — the “universes” within which stories take place — provides us with detailed rules of the context in which a larger reality unfolds that extends beyond a single story, and has the potential to provide us with deeper learning about the underlying systems that regulate those worlds. Lastly, the relationship of futures narratives to theories such as Social Constructivism has been highlighted by several scholars. A central idea of this sociological theory is that whenever we use words or other symbols to refer to objects in our world we are constructing them. And, therefore, prediction is also a social construction. In narrating we intervene in the world. In narrating the world, we construct it. In writing science fiction we intervene in the science of the future. 32．What is the text mainly about? A．The storyworlds created by science fictions. B．Artifacts and technologies in science fictions. C．Science fiction narratives affecting future studies. D．The relation between science and science fictions. 33．What is the most important role of science fiction? A．It provides us with technologies and tools. B．It allows us to establish reasonable future. C．It decides our thinking and affects the future. D．It helps us learn the rules of fictional world. 34．What do we know about “storyworlds”? A．There are general rules for a single story. B．They are the “universes” where stories happen. C．There are no regulations or guiding systems. D．They have a potential context within a story. 35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Science fiction narratives can construct future worlds. B．The science of future intervenes in today’s science. C．Objects can’t be constructed by words or symbols. D．Scholars care little about narratives about future. 【答案】32．C 33．C 34．B 35．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，文章探讨了科幻小说和未来研究之间的关系，科幻小说帮助我们定义可能的未来，让我们了解虚构世界背后的规则，并决定我们构建科学思想和干预未来的方式。通过阅读本文可以引发我们对现实和未来关系的思考。 32．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“There is a profound relationship between science fiction and science. It is often said that stories change the world, what is less often heard is that stories change science, and therefore the future.(科幻小说和科学之间有着深刻的联系。人们常说故事改变世界，但很少有人说故事改变科学，进而改变未来)”及最后一段中“In writing science fiction we intervene in the science of the future.(在写科幻小说时，我们介入了未来科学)”可知，本文主要讲述科幻小说影响对未来的研究。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“But most importantly, it determines the way we structure scientific thought and intervene (干预) in the future.(但最重要的是，它决定了我们未来构建科学思想和干预未来的方式)”可知，科幻小说最重要的作用是决定了我们未来构建科学思想和干预未来的方式。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The richness of ‘storyworlds’ — the ‘universes’ within which stories take place — provides us with detailed rules of the context…(丰富的‘故事世界’——故事发生的‘宇宙’——为我们提供了背景的详细规则)”可知，丰富的“故事世界”是故事发生在其中的“宇宙”。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In narrating the world, we construct it. In writing science fiction we intervene in the science of the future.(在叙述世界的过程中，我们构建了世界，在写科幻小说时，我们介入了未来的科学)”可知，科幻小说叙述可以构建未来世界。故选A。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 H. G. Wells, born in 1866, was trained as a scientist, a pioneer among his literary contemporaries, and was perhaps the most important figure in the genre (类型) that would become science fiction.

Turtex told me to enter a room near his laboratory.We entered there and found that the room was internally coated with some materials like sponge.Turtex closed the door of the room with a clap.I saw some colourful buttons inside the room.After a few seconds I heard another clap and noticed that the door opened. Turtex said,“Come with me.” I asked,“Where?” He replied,“Now we are at Kushmandi.” I shouted,“What?” We came out of the room and I astonishingly viewed the sky-scrapers around me.Turtex said loudly,“What’s wrong with you?Come with me.” Eventually we entered a coffee club designed like a Five Star Restaurant.Suddenly I noticed a display board with an electronic text on,“Welcome to Kushmandi.Now you are in famous Ramu’s Coffee Shop.Enjoy the taste of the best coffee on the Earth.” Suddenly many hazy and crazy questions came to my mind. “What was the nearby room of the lab?How was it possible to travel an enormous distance from the Mars to the Earth?Is it like opening my favourite TV channel with a remote?How the poor coffee stall of our village turned into a Five Star Coffee Club?In which century were we?” 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。 Thinking such hazy things,I followed Turtex into the coffee club. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The waiter brought us two cups of coffee and left. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【范文】 Thinking such hazy things,I followed Turtex into the coffee club.The delicious smell of coffee rushed into my nose.Oh,my loveable tasty coffee.How eager I was to have a cup of it at once!“Come here.” Turtex said.Still absorbed in those hazy questions, I followed Turtex and sat beside a table, which was coated with strange materials, waiting to enjoy the best coffee on the Earth. The waiter brought us two cups of coffee and left. Impatiently I took it and took a sip.“Oh.My gosh.” It was so hot that it seemed that my mouth got burnt. But then I heard a hair-cutting sound.I slowly opened my eyes and found that a nurse was cutting my hair and putting them into a tray beside my bed and telling me, “Nothing serious. It needs just two stitches on your forehead and you will be OK within a week.” I finally realised that it was our village hospital at Kushmandi that I was in, not at the coffee club. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 12 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力第一节听下面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。According to statistics, there are more than sixty million left behind children in china.

It needs just two stitches on your forehead and you will be OK within a week.” I finally realised that it was our village hospital at Kushmandi that I was in, not at the coffee club. 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 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修第二册单元测试 （山东专用） Unit 3·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，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1.5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．What are the speakers mainly talking about？ A．Their children.

He estimates he has cooked 50,000 burgers (汉堡包). Now, Vardakostas co-owns a burger joint called Creator, in San Francisco, California. But he doesn’t stand over a grill flipping burgers, and neither do his employees. At Creator, burgers are cooked and assembled entirely by machine. And because it costs less to maintain the machine than to pay a kitchen’s worth of employees, burgers cost less. Creator is just one example of a growing phenomenon: Automation is taking over more and more jobs. That means work is done by machines or computers instead of people. According to a report from McKinsey Global Institute, about 800 million people could be forced out of their jobs by 2030, McKinsey predicts that as technology improves, some tasks will be done more quickly or cheaply by machine, so businesses will install robots or computer programs to perform them. Some jobs are more likely to be automated than others. Machines can do jobs that have three characteristics: They are routine, repetitive, and predictable. Some of these jobs pay low wages and require little education. But others pay well and demand an advanced college degree. Taxi drivers, cashiers, lawyers, and doctors all perform some tasks that can be done by machines. So what jobs are safe from automation? Answers include coming up with new ideas or work that involves interacting with other people and building relationships, Jobs in engineering, science, the arts,therapy, and nursing are examples. At Creator, Vardakostas hired people to do just that kind of work. Instead of repetitive burger prepping, workers interact with customers and advise them on flavor pairings, like mushroom sauce with pickles and onion jam. “In our world at Creator, all the work is creative and social,” Vardakostas says. “And I think that is what we’re going to see more of the future.” 21．What’s the difference between Creator and a traditional restaurant? A．There is neither worker nor waiters at Creator at all. B．The price of burgers at Creator is higher than that of a traditional one. C．The number of owners of Creator is larger than that of a traditional one. D．Some work is done by machines instead of humans at Creator. 22．What does the report from McKinsey Global Institute predict? A．More working opportunities have to be created. B．More cheap machines will be invented. C．A lot of people will lose their jobs. D．Humans will have difficulty in running business. 23．Why does the author mention Creator? A．To introduce the topic of the text. B．To increase the plot of the story. C．To introduce a modern restaurant. D．To make an advertisement for Vardakostas. B Nostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in the current accelerated, unexpected changes. More and more Americans are turning back with longing to what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games. Is it a mistake to miss the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it suggests loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, etc. But new studies suggest that a modest amount of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self-discovery and memories are a psychological response when you want to take a break from negativity. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally,” says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. “That is such a powerful comfort, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn’t have to earn our love.” Nostalgia can turn even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let’s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to countless American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, “After all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then.” So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, a long-gone family pet, etc. As Dr. Sedikides says, “Nostalgia is absolutely central to human experience.” But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well: “You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.” 24．How is nostalgia viewed by the psychologists in Paragraph 2? A．It might leave a person in low spirits. B．It suggests loneliness suffered in the past. C．It saves people from dull reality temporarily. D．It helps to solve the problems in modern life. 25．What aspect of nostalgia is discussed in Paragraph 3? A．Its reasons. B．Its benefits. C．Its side effects. D．Its working principles. 26．Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the passage? A．He had a strong sense of identity. B．He took pictures of the good old days. C．He is an example of being obsessed with the past D．He drew inspiration from nostalgia for his works. 27．What is the author’s attitude towards nostalgia? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Indifferent. C Dear Younger Me, It’s hard to believe we’re nearing our senior years. While I hope we have 20 or 30 good years ahead, it’s time to think about some choices we regret. I can’t hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18. Our brains weren’t fully developed, and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence. We went against our parents. We got close to friends, but then again pushed them back. Yes, there were secrets and lies, but that’s part of growing up. However, I think you should apologize for how you started our career (事业). You had always dreamed of being a reporter, but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest thing to do in your field. Over time, you felt you didn’t learn much, even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible. It wasn’t until we changed to marketing that we found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life. We bought a lovely home in the city centre. But starting a family brought new challenges.The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids’ activities. And when the kids went to college, we faced an empty home and had to rediscover who we were besides parents. It felt like a new stage of youth, where we were re-learning about life without focusing on our kids. We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work, trying to stay connected while finding our own space. Now, as we approach senior years, life feels peaceful. We’ve had ups and downs, from losing our mom to watching our kids grow. So, younger me, let’s pardon ourselves for past mistakes. We can’t move forward until we make peace with our past. Hopefully, our best days are still ahead. The Senior Me 28．What’s the purpose of “me” writing this letter? A．To reflect on the past. B．To plan for the future. C．To catch up with a friend. D．To ask for some advice. 29．What makes “my” growth so challenging before “I” turned 18? A．Failing to take responsibilities. B．Having no elder brothers or sisters. C．Dealing with relationships with others. D．Wanting to stay dependent on parents. 30．Why was “I” disappointed with the first job? A．It didn’t pay much. B．It didn’t match my major. C．It required long working hours. D．It offered me little job growth. 31．How did “I” adjust“my” life after the kids went to college? A．By emptying our home. B．By finding a new purpose. C．By keeping a distance from others. D．By learning to accept growing old. D There is a profound relationship between science fiction and science. It is often said that stories change the world, what is less often heard is that stories change science, and therefore the future. The use of science fiction to explore our world is similar to scenario (剧情) planning in Futures Studies, which shapes our ideas about the future, and goes beyond predicting artifacts that once seemed impossible to us like Verne’s submarine or the satellites of 2001 Space Odyssey. In the words of Dutch researcher Sofia Kaloterakis, “Science fiction narratives structure our imaginative models about technoscientific projects such as robotics or space exploration”. Have you ever wondered how science fiction novels have impacted the idea we have about Artificial Intelligence or how Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson’s novel, has impacted what we now call the Metaverse (元宇宙)? Science fiction helps us define possible futures. It provides us with an understanding of the rules underlying fictional worlds. It also allows us to put technological prototypes (原型) in the context of their use by humans. But most importantly, it determines the way we structure scientific thought and intervene (干预) in the future. Alex McDowell, Creator of the Minority Report worldbuilding in 2002, and Peter von Stackelberg explain what fictional narratives can bring to the table: The richness of “storyworlds” — the “universes” within which stories take place — provides us with detailed rules of the context in which a larger reality unfolds that extends beyond a single story, and has the potential to provide us with deeper learning about the underlying systems that regulate those worlds. Lastly, the relationship of futures narratives to theories such as Social Constructivism has been highlighted by several scholars. A central idea of this sociological theory is that whenever we use words or other symbols to refer to objects in our world we are constructing them. And, therefore, prediction is also a social construction. In narrating we intervene in the world. In narrating the world, we construct it. In writing science fiction we intervene in the science of the future. 32．What is the text mainly about? A．The storyworlds created by science fictions. B．Artifacts and technologies in science fictions. C．Science fiction narratives affecting future studies. D．The relation between science and science fictions. 33．What is the most important role of science fiction? A．It provides us with technologies and tools. B．It allows us to establish reasonable future. C．It decides our thinking and affects the future. D．It helps us learn the rules of fictional world. 34．What do we know about “storyworlds”? A．There are general rules for a single story. B．They are the “universes” where stories happen. C．There are no regulations or guiding systems. D．They have a potential context within a story. 35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Science fiction narratives can construct future worlds. B．The science of future intervenes in today’s science. C．Objects can’t be constructed by words or symbols. D．Scholars care little about narratives about future. 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。 H. G. Wells, born in 1866, was trained as a scientist, a pioneer among his literary contemporaries, and was perhaps the most important figure in the genre (类型) that would become science fiction. Writers in this tradition have a history not just of imagining the future as it might be, but of inspiring others to make it a reality. 36 . Audio book, Airplane, and Television Wells imagined forms of future entertainment. In When the Sleeper Wakes (1899), residents use fantastic forms of technology like audio books, airplanes and television sets. 37 Visitors to The Island of Dr. Moreau(1896) meet odd creatures created by the mad man doctor in human-animal hybrid experiments that may predict the age of genetic engineering. 38 , though today human immune systems (免疫系统) still ultimately reject such efforts. Lasers(激光) Martians in The War of the Worlds(1898) give off what Wells called a Heat Ray. 39 .

Motor cars 41 a hundred miles in more than an hour, aircraft cross the world within a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 42 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘) of 43 precious seconds in handling tasks. All these save time, but at a cost. When we lose or 44 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag(时差). Our bodies feel that they have been 45 behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at 46 results in painful wrists(手腕) and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers: too much use may transmit harmful 47 into our brains. However, how do we 48 the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems.

Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 51 to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world. There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation(耕作) of the 52 or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace.

Turtex told me to enter a room near his laboratory.We entered there and found that the room was internally coated with some materials like sponge.Turtex closed the door of the room with a clap.I saw some colourful buttons inside the room.After a few seconds I heard another clap and noticed that the door opened. Turtex said,“Come with me.” I asked,“Where?” He replied,“Now we are at Kushmandi.” I shouted,“What?” We came out of the room and I astonishingly viewed the sky-scrapers around me.Turtex said loudly,“What’s wrong with you?Come with me.” Eventually we entered a coffee club designed like a Five Star Restaurant.Suddenly I noticed a display board with an electronic text on,“Welcome to Kushmandi.Now you are in famous Ramu’s Coffee Shop.Enjoy the taste of the best coffee on the Earth.” Suddenly many hazy and crazy questions came to my mind. “What was the nearby room of the lab?How was it possible to travel an enormous distance from the Mars to the Earth?Is it like opening my favourite TV channel with a remote?How the poor coffee stall of our village turned into a Five Star Coffee Club?In which century were we?” 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。 Thinking such hazy things,I followed Turtex into the coffee club. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The waiter brought us two cups of coffee and left. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 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学年高二英语选择性必修第二册单元测试 （山东专用） Unit 3·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，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1.5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．What are the speakers mainly talking about？ A．Their children.

B Nostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in the current accelerated, unexpected changes. More and more Americans are turning back with longing to what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games. Is it a mistake to miss the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it suggests loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, etc. But new studies suggest that a modest amount of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self-discovery and memories are a psychological response when you want to take a break from negativity. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally,” says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. “That is such a powerful comfort, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn’t have to earn our love.” Nostalgia can turn even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let’s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to countless American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, “After all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then.” So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, a long-gone family pet, etc. As Dr. Sedikides says, “Nostalgia is absolutely central to human experience.” But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well: “You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.” 24．How is nostalgia viewed by the psychologists in Paragraph 2? A．It might leave a person in low spirits. B．It suggests loneliness suffered in the past. C．It saves people from dull reality temporarily. D．It helps to solve the problems in modern life. 25．What aspect of nostalgia is discussed in Paragraph 3? A．Its reasons. B．Its benefits. C．Its side effects. D．Its working principles. 26．Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the passage? A．He had a strong sense of identity. B．He took pictures of the good old days. C．He is an example of being obsessed with the past D．He drew inspiration from nostalgia for his works. 27．What is the author’s attitude towards nostalgia? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Indifferent. C Dear Younger Me, It’s hard to believe we’re nearing our senior years. While I hope we have 20 or 30 good years ahead, it’s time to think about some choices we regret. I can’t hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18. Our brains weren’t fully developed, and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence. We went against our parents. We got close to friends, but then again pushed them back. Yes, there were secrets and lies, but that’s part of growing up. However, I think you should apologize for how you started our career (事业). You had always dreamed of being a reporter, but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest thing to do in your field. Over time, you felt you didn’t learn much, even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible. It wasn’t until we changed to marketing that we found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life. We bought a lovely home in the city centre. But starting a family brought new challenges.The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids’ activities. And when the kids went to college, we faced an empty home and had to rediscover who we were besides parents. It felt like a new stage of youth, where we were re-learning about life without focusing on our kids. We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work, trying to stay connected while finding our own space. Now, as we approach senior years, life feels peaceful. We’ve had ups and downs, from losing our mom to watching our kids grow. So, younger me, let’s pardon ourselves for past mistakes. We can’t move forward until we make peace with our past. Hopefully, our best days are still ahead. The Senior Me 28．What’s the purpose of “me” writing this letter? A．To reflect on the past. B．To plan for the future. C．To catch up with a friend. D．To ask for some advice. 29．What makes “my” growth so challenging before “I” turned 18? A．Failing to take responsibilities. B．Having no elder brothers or sisters. C．Dealing with relationships with others. D．Wanting to stay dependent on parents. 30．Why was “I” disappointed with the first job? A．It didn’t pay much. B．It didn’t match my major. C．It required long working hours. D．It offered me little job growth. 31．How did “I” adjust“my” life after the kids went to college? A．By emptying our home. B．By finding a new purpose. C．By keeping a distance from others. D．By learning to accept growing old. D There is a profound relationship between science fiction and science. It is often said that stories change the world, what is less often heard is that stories change science, and therefore the future. The use of science fiction to explore our world is similar to scenario (剧情) planning in Futures Studies, which shapes our ideas about the future, and goes beyond predicting artifacts that once seemed impossible to us like Verne’s submarine or the satellites of 2001 Space Odyssey. In the words of Dutch researcher Sofia Kaloterakis, “Science fiction narratives structure our imaginative models about technoscientific projects such as robotics or space exploration”. Have you ever wondered how science fiction novels have impacted the idea we have about Artificial Intelligence or how Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson’s novel, has impacted what we now call the Metaverse (元宇宙)? Science fiction helps us define possible futures. It provides us with an understanding of the rules underlying fictional worlds. It also allows us to put technological prototypes (原型) in the context of their use by humans. But most importantly, it determines the way we structure scientific thought and intervene (干预) in the future. Alex McDowell, Creator of the Minority Report worldbuilding in 2002, and Peter von Stackelberg explain what fictional narratives can bring to the table: The richness of “storyworlds” — the “universes” within which stories take place — provides us with detailed rules of the context in which a larger reality unfolds that extends beyond a single story, and has the potential to provide us with deeper learning about the underlying systems that regulate those worlds. Lastly, the relationship of futures narratives to theories such as Social Constructivism has been highlighted by several scholars. A central idea of this sociological theory is that whenever we use words or other symbols to refer to objects in our world we are constructing them. And, therefore, prediction is also a social construction. In narrating we intervene in the world. In narrating the world, we construct it. In writing science fiction we intervene in the science of the future. 32．What is the text mainly about? A．The storyworlds created by science fictions. B．Artifacts and technologies in science fictions. C．Science fiction narratives affecting future studies. D．The relation between science and science fictions. 33．What is the most important role of science fiction? A．It provides us with technologies and tools. B．It allows us to establish reasonable future. C．It decides our thinking and affects the future. D．It helps us learn the rules of fictional world. 34．What do we know about “storyworlds”? A．There are general rules for a single story. B．They are the “universes” where stories happen. C．There are no regulations or guiding systems. D．They have a potential context within a story. 35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Science fiction narratives can construct future worlds. B．The science of future intervenes in today’s science. C．Objects can’t be constructed by words or symbols. D．Scholars care little about narratives about future. 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。 H. G. Wells, born in 1866, was trained as a scientist, a pioneer among his literary contemporaries, and was perhaps the most important figure in the genre (类型) that would become science fiction. Writers in this tradition have a history not just of imagining the future as it might be, but of inspiring others to make it a reality. 36 . Audio book, Airplane, and Television Wells imagined forms of future entertainment. In When the Sleeper Wakes (1899), residents use fantastic forms of technology like audio books, airplanes and television sets. 37 Visitors to The Island of Dr. Moreau(1896) meet odd creatures created by the mad man doctor in human-animal hybrid experiments that may predict the age of genetic engineering. 38 , though today human immune systems (免疫系统) still ultimately reject such efforts. Lasers(激光) Martians in The War of the Worlds(1898) give off what Wells called a Heat Ray. 39 . It would be more than six decades before Theodore Harold Maiman fired up the first operational laser in 1960, but military thinkers had been hoping to weaponize (使…武器化) the conceptual laser before it was proven practical, .

Motor cars 41 a hundred miles in more than an hour, aircraft cross the world within a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 42 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘) of 43 precious seconds in handling tasks. All these save time, but at a cost. When we lose or 44 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag(时差). Our bodies feel that they have been 45 behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at 46 results in painful wrists(手腕) and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers: too much use may transmit harmful 47 into our brains. However, how do we 48 the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems.

Turtex told me to enter a room near his laboratory.We entered there and found that the room was internally coated with some materials like sponge.Turtex closed the door of the room with a clap.I saw some colourful buttons inside the room.After a few seconds I heard another clap and noticed that the door opened. Turtex said,“Come with me.” I asked,“Where?” He replied,“Now we are at Kushmandi.” I shouted,“What?” We came out of the room and I astonishingly viewed the sky-scrapers around me.Turtex said loudly,“What’s wrong with you?Come with me.” Eventually we entered a coffee club designed like a Five Star Restaurant.Suddenly I noticed a display board with an electronic text on,“Welcome to Kushmandi.Now you are in famous Ramu’s Coffee Shop.Enjoy the taste of the best coffee on the Earth.” Suddenly many hazy and crazy questions came to my mind. “What was the nearby room of the lab?How was it possible to travel an enormous distance from the Mars to the Earth?Is it like opening my favourite TV channel with a remote?How the poor coffee stall of our village turned into a Five Star Coffee Club?In which century were we?” 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。 Thinking such hazy things,I followed Turtex into the coffee club. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The waiter brought us two cups of coffee and left. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 12 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
