Yet for disabled, elderly, low-income individuals, or those without a smartphone or credit card, these services are practically out of reach. Such services tend to gather in wealthy urban areas, leaving users largely young, wealthy, and able-bodied. Barriers to using shared mobility Higher income Lower income ① Lack of familiarity with the system ② High cost of the system ③ Inaccessibility of locations Percent reporting barrier Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable (可持续的) transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various projects are finding creative solutions to reach under-served communities. ●Buffalo’s E-Bike Library: Organizes training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety, with 71% of members being first-time riders. ●Mobitwin’s car-share service: Gives priority (优先权) to email-and phone-based bookings over apps to extend reach to a wider share of the population lacking digital skills, helping them access the service more easily. ●U.S.bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles. ●Graz’s car-share projects: Add wheelchair-accessible vehicles, child seats, and station-based booking to suit diverse users’ needs, such as mid-route pickups and multi-destination trips. The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, “It’s about starting with people’s needs.” 1. What is the percentage gap between lower and higher income users in Barrier 1? A. 3%. B. 16%. C. 26%. D. 71%. 2. Which solution targets Barrier 2? A. Buffalo’s E-Bike Library. B. Mobitwin’s car-share service. C. U.S.bike-sharing policy. D. Graz’s car-share projects. 3. What will shape the future of shared mobility according to Esen Köse? A. Tech-based design. B. Charity-run project. C. Profit-driven service. D. User-centered accessibility. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨共享出行服务（如共享单车和共享汽车）在欧美大城市普及的同时，却因成本高、操作复杂、位置不便利等原因，难以惠及残疾人、老年人、低收入者等群体。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Barriers to using shared mobility(使用共享出行的障碍)”图表，高收入群体在“Lack of familiarity with the system(对系统不熟悉)”这一障碍上的百分比为26%，低收入群体为42%，两者差距为 16%。故选B项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。“U.S. bike-sharing policy(美国共享单车政策)”部分提到“Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles.(为低收入群体提供票价减免，以现金支付方式和非智能手机接入作为扩大采用的关键措施，这在增加共享单车的使用同时减少个人车辆的使用方面显示出了希望。)”，为低收入群体提供费用减免，这肯定针对的是“High cost of the system(系统成本高)”(障碍2)。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, ‘It’s about starting with people’s needs.’(共享出行的未来取决于将包容性设计作为重中之重。正如Mpact的项目经理Esen Köse所说，“我们要从人们的需求开始。”)”可知，未来共享出行的发展依赖于将包容性设计作为首要优先事项，即以用户为中心的可及性。故选D项。 B Maya Ganesh’s passion for environmental restoration can be traced back to 1995, when she had just graduated from university and discovered her interest in environmental economics, which, at the time, was not seen as profitable. So, owing to family pressure, she couldn’t pursue her dream and ended up with a business career, but her passion for it remained. It was her mother’s encouragement that brought a turning point. “When I was 38, she said, ‘Why don’t you do it now?’” Maya recalls. Initially hesitant about starting from zero, she eventually pursued a Master’s in Environment and Sustainable Development in the UK. Inspired by London’s Allotment System, where residents could grow their food on government-assigned plots, Maya devoted herself to community-driven sustainable initiatives in East London. In 2016, she walked into Headmaster’s office of a global school to suggest the idea of a school garden as an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) learning space. Maya suggested they should not do any landscaping in the school but let her create a school garden instead. The project was designed as a sparetime course, where students could learn about organic farming — what Maya refers to as “regenerative agriculture”. “We started with Grade 7,” Maya recalls. “Starting from scratch was a lot of work, but with some labour, the garden began to take shape. By July 2018, students had created two forest patches, digging pits, adding biomass, and planting diverse crops. Years later, these students are seeing the fruits of their work.” The activity is now open to students from kindergarten to Grade 12. Maya educates the students on the importance of preserving traditional varieties through seed saving, ensuring they understand the value of biodiversity. Since 2019, the garden has expanded, and the project has also become financially self-supplying. Students harvest crops as part of their classes. Maya emphasizes that the garden is not a production unit but a learning space. The kids take home some of the produce, and the mothers are happy. They sell the spare produce to the school and the community, allowing the garden to fund its tools and resources. This model not only engages the students but also fosters a sense of responsibility and appreciation for sustainable practices. 4. What caused Maya to pick up her dream again? A. The pressure from her mother. B. The success of her business career. C. The support from her family. D. The potential of environmental economics. 5. What can we learn about Maya’s “regenerative agriculture”? A. It is part of London’s Allotment System. B. It is a project funded by the government. C. It is intended to be a formal school course. D. It introduces students to organic farming. 6. What does Maya focus on while carrying out her program? A. The expansion of the garden. B. The importance of tradition. C. The harvest of the crops. D. The awareness of sustainability. 7. Which words can best describe Maya? A. Passionate and generous. B. Innovative and committed. C. Honest and considerate. D. Selfless and tolerant. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍玛雅·加内什在家人鼓励下重拾环保梦想，推动学校花园项目的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It was her mother’s encouragement that brought a turning point. “When I was 38, she said, ‘Why don’t you do it now?’” Maya recalls. Initially hesitant about starting from zero, she eventually pursued a Master’s in Environment and Sustainable Development in the UK. (正是母亲的鼓励带来了转折点。“我38岁时，她问我‘你现在为什么不做呢？’”玛雅回忆道。最初她对从零开始犹豫不决，但最终还是在英国攻读了环境与可持续发展硕士学位)”可知，母亲的鼓励使Maya决定追求她的梦想，即家人的支持让玛雅重新拾起梦想。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The project was designed as a sparetime course, where students could learn about organic farming — what Maya refers to as “regenerative agriculture”. (这个项目是作为一门业余课程设计的，学生们可以在这里学习有机农业，也就是Maya所说的“再生农业”)”可知，Maya的“再生农业”是一门给学生介绍有机农业的课程。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Maya educates the students on the importance of preserving traditional varieties through seed saving, ensuring they understand the value of biodiversity. (玛雅通过种子保存教育学生保护传统品种的重要性，确保他们理解生物多样性的价值)”及最后一段中的“This model not only engages the students but also fosters a sense of responsibility and appreciation for sustainable practices. (这种模式不仅让学生参与其中，还培养了他们对可持续实践的责任感和认同感)”可知，玛雅在项目中关注可持续发展意识的培养。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Inspired by London’s Allotment System, where residents could grow their food on government-assigned plots, Maya devoted herself to community-driven sustainable initiatives in East London. (受伦敦分配系统（居民可在政府指定地块种植食物）的启发，玛雅致力于东伦敦社区驱动的可持续倡议)”及全文中玛雅坚持推动项目、从业余课程到跨学段参与的努力可知，她具有创新性（Innovative）且坚定投入（Committed）。故选B项。 C Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an“ affiliative (亲和) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well- liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf. 8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the study? A. Its impact. B. Its findings. C. Its limitations. D. Its significance. 9. What may facial expressiveness serve as in negotiation settings? A. A way to frighten competitors. B. A method to hide personalities. C. A tool to show personal quality. D. A strategy to settle disagreement. 10. What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Copy. B. Overlook. C. Remember D. Interpret. 11. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A. Always wearing a still face. B. Learning to be an open book. C. Speaking out inner emotions. D. Forcing a smile through tears. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学研究，研究表明面部表情丰富的人在社交中有显著优势，这种优势可以转化为具体的社交利益。文章最后指出，对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热烈的反应。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. (这项研究由诺丁汉特伦特大学社会科学学院研究员Eithne Kavanagh领导，有1300多名参与者。研究注意到人们在谈话中面部动作的多少存在显著差异。重要的是，这种表现力成为一种稳定的个人品质。人们在不同的情境中、与不同的社交伙伴在一起时，甚至在长达四个月的时间段内，都表现出相似程度的面部表情丰富度。)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究发现人们在谈话中面部动作的多少存在显著差异，而且是一种稳定的个人品质。因此，本段主要在讲这项研究的发现。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts.(在谈判任务中，更有表现力的人更有可能获得更大的奖励。研究人员建议，对于和蔼可亲的人来说，动态面部表情可能是建立良好关系和缓和矛盾的工具)”可知，在谈判中，面部表情可能是建立良好关系和缓和矛盾的工具，帮助有表现力的人获得更大利益。因此，面部表情在谈判环境中可能作为一种解决分歧的策略。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable,’ suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. (表情丰富也与被认为更“可读”有关，这表明一张生动的脸让人的意图和精神状态更容易被decipher)”中“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable,’”可知，丰富的表情更“可读”，即更容易被理解和解读，所以“一张生动的脸更容易被人解读意图和精神状态”。划线词decipher与interpret同义，意为“解读”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings challenge the ‘poker face’ common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. (这些发现挑战了‘扑克脸’的普遍信念，即静止不动、面无表情的外表总是最有利的。相反，它们表明，对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热情的反应)”可知，研究表明面部表情丰富的人在社交中有显著优势，所以对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热情的反应。因此作者可能建议我们要学会像一本打开的书一样，不要隐藏自己的情感和意图，要通过面部表情表达出来。故选B项。 D While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 12. What can we learn about artful thinking? A. It simplifies problem-solving. B. It focuses on developing our brains. C. It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D. It helps promote high-tech machinery. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Benefits of artful intelligence. B. Mind-body awareness in thinking. C. Significance of being mindful. D. Social interaction through movements. 14. What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world? A Enhance the flexibility of attention. B. Adapt to the rise of AI. C. Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D. Improve the levels of focus. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B. Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds C. Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在AI时代正念思维对保持人性的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.(巧妙思考的哲学是避免这种情况的好方法。巧妙思考意味着不仅要用大脑，还要用手、眼睛、耳朵以及情感来解决问题。这种方法利用了我们身体中分布但常常未被利用的认知资源)”可知，巧妙思考能防止我们过度依赖人工智能。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world.(改变我们思维方式是一项艰苦的工作。它始于正念练习。获取巧妙智慧需要留意我们如何用身体思考，如何用四肢、器官和情感来理解世界)”可知，第三段主要讲了思考中的身心意识。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus.(如果你想在这个充满人工智能世界中找到更多的自由，提高你自觉地在不同物体或注意力层次之间转移注意力的能力)”可推知，作者建议我们在充满人工智能的世界里增强注意力的灵活性。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”(巧妙思考需要努力保持正念，以确保我们所做的，以及我们希望通过使用这些技术工具实现的目标，不会削弱我们的人性。正如一行禅师所说：“正念生活是一门艺术，我们每个人都必须训练成为艺术家。”)”结合全文内容可知，文章主要论述了在人工智能时代，保持正念的重要性，它能让我们保持人性，不被技术所吞噬。D选项“正念让我们在人工智能时代保持人性”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 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。 Mastering social situations can be difficult. ____16____ It’s about how you carry yourself — your body language shows your confidence level and classiness (优雅). Here are a few tips for you to improve your non-verbal communication. Master eye contact Eye contact, if handled properly, can change people’s opinions of you. But there’s a thin line between making eye contact and staring blankly. ____17____ The trick here is to maintain comfortable eye contact when you’re listening or speaking. Pick the right gestures Our gestures can reveal our thoughts and emotions, often more accurately than our words. ____18____ To command others’ attention, just use simple, controlled movements such as raising an eyebrow or offering a slight nod. They convey a sense of self-confidence and sophistication(老练). Use deliberate (刻意的) pause ____19____ I’m referring to the deliberate pause — that moment of quiet that gives weight to your, words and actions. Don’t rush through your sentences in conversations. Instead, take your time, and pause at the right moments to let your message sink in. Show active listening Listening is a skill, and believe it or not, it shows in your body language. Are you leaning in slightly, maintaining eye contact, and nodding at appropriate moments? Or are you glancing around the room and using your phone? True class is about making others feel valued and heard by staying engaged.____20____ A. Don’t be afraid to let your true self shine. B. One makes you look classy, the other awkward. C. However, don’t engage in overly dramatic gestures. D. Pay attention to how you occupy and respect personal space. E. It’s not always about the words you say or the clothes you wear. F. So next time you’re in a conversation, try to be fully concentrated. G. In the rush of conversations, we tend to forget the power of silence. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. C 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍提升非语言沟通能力以应对社交场合的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文的“Mastering social situations can be difficult.(掌握社交场合可能会很困难。)”可知，开篇提出社交场合的挑战，结合下文的“It’s about how you carry yourself — your body language shows your confidence level and classiness.(关键在于你如何展现自己——你的肢体语言体现了你的自信程度和优雅。)”可知，此空需引出“非语言因素”的重要性。E选项“It’s not always about the words you say or the clothes you wear.(这并不总是关于你说的话或穿的衣服。)”通过否定“语言和着装”，自然过渡到下文“肢体语言”的核心，承上启下。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据上文的“But there’s a thin line between making eye contact and staring blankly.(但眼神交流和茫然凝视之间有一条细微的界限。)”可知，此处强调两种眼神状态的区别，B选项“One makes you look classy, the other awkward.(一种让你看起来优雅，另一种则让你显得尴尬。)”中的“One”与“the other”直接对应“making eye contact”和“staring blankly”，具体说明两者的不同影响，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据段落主题句“Pick the right gestures(选择合适的手势)”可知，本段讨论手势的恰当性，结合下文的“To command others’ attention, just use simple, controlled movements such as raising an eyebrow or offering a slight nod.(要引起他人注意，只需使用简单、有控制的动作，比如扬起眉毛或轻轻点头。)”可知，核心是“避免过度夸张”。C选项“However, don’t engage in overly dramatic gestures.(然而，不要做过于夸张的手势。)”通过“However”转折，否定“过度手势”，与下文“simple, controlled movements”形成对比，符合逻辑。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据下文的“I’m referring to the deliberate pause — that moment of quiet that gives weight to your words and actions.(我指的是刻意的停顿——那一刻的沉默会让你的话语和行动更有分量。)”可知，此空需引出“沉默的力量”，G选项“In the rush of conversations, we tend to forget the power of silence.(在匆忙的对话中，我们往往会忘记沉默的力量。)”中的“forget the power of silence”与下文“deliberate pause”形成呼应，通过“rush”与“quiet”的对比，自然引出段落主题。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据段落主题句“Show active listening(展现积极倾听)”可知，本段强调倾听时的专注，结合上文的“True class is about making others feel valued and heard by staying engaged.(真正的优雅在于通过保持专注让他人感到被重视和被倾听。)”可知，此空需总结“专注倾听”的行动。F选项“So next time you’re in a conversation, try to be fully concentrated.(所以下次交谈时，尽量全神贯注。)”中的“fully concentrated”直接呼应“staying engaged”，作为段尾句总结了积极倾听的核心要求。故选F项。 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2007, 22-year-old Ramesh’s peanut farm lost money. As was often the case in most of India, Ramesh was ____21____ pesticides (杀虫剂) and fertilisers (肥料) across his 2.4 hectares in the Anantapur district of southern India. In this desert-like area, which gets less than 600 millimetres of rainfall most years, farming is a ____22____. “I lost a lot of money growing peanuts through chemical farming ____23____,” says Ramesh, who is interested in agriculture. The chemicals are ____24____ in many parts of southern India. The farmers depend too much on pesticides. The chemicals are ____25____ but the production is low. Then in 2017, he ____26____ the chemicals. “Ever since I ____27____ sustainable (可持续的) agricultural practices like natural farming, the production has been ____28____ and the cost has gone down,” he says. One natural farming method calls for ____29____ all chemical fertilisers and pesticides with organic matter to boost soil nutrient levels. Ramesh also expanded his crops, _____30_____ peanuts and some tomatoes. Then he added eggplants and other crops. With the _____31_____ of the non-profit organisation Accion Fraterna Ecology Centre, which works with farmers who want to try _____32_____ farming, Ramesh increased his _____33_____ enough to buy more land, expanding his field. Like thousands of other farmers practising natural farming across India, Ramesh has _____34_____ to enrich his dead soil while his new trees help keep carbon out of the atmosphere, thus playing an important role in reducing India’s carbon footprint. A recent study has shown that the carbon absorption _____35_____ of natural farming is as much as 34 per cent higher than standard forms of agriculture. 21.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届高二上学期第一次段考 英语科试题 本试卷共 12 页，三部分。满分 120 分。考试用时 120 分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的学校、姓名、班级和考号填写在答题卡的卷头上。 2．选择题每小题选出答案后，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，答案不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上;如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案;不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁，考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 阅读 (共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all In major cities across Europe and the US, shared bikes and cars seem to be everywhere. Yet for disabled, elderly, low-income individuals, or those without a smartphone or credit card, these services are practically out of reach. Such services tend to gather in wealthy urban areas, leaving users largely young, wealthy, and able-bodied. Barriers to using shared mobility Higher income Lower income ① Lack of familiarity with the system ② High cost of the system ③ Inaccessibility of locations Percent reporting barrier Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable (可持续的) transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various projects are finding creative solutions to reach under-served communities. ●Buffalo’s E-Bike Library: Organizes training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety, with 71% of members being first-time riders. ●Mobitwin’s car-share service: Gives priority (优先权) to email-and phone-based bookings over apps to extend reach to a wider share of the population lacking digital skills, helping them access the service more easily. ●U.S.bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles. ●Graz’s car-share projects: Add wheelchair-accessible vehicles child seats, and station-based booking to suit diverse users’ needs, such as mid-route pickups and multi-destination trips. The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, “It’s about starting with people’s needs.” 1. What is the percentage gap between lower and higher income users in Barrier 1? A. 3%. B. 16%. C. 26%. D. 71%. 2. Which solution targets Barrier 2? A. Buffalo’s E-Bike Library. B. Mobitwin’s car-share service. C. U.S.bike-sharing policy. D. Graz’s car-share projects. 3. What will shape the future of shared mobility according to Esen Köse? A. Tech-based design. B. Charity-run project. C. Profit-driven service. D. User-centered accessibility. B Maya Ganesh’s passion for environmental restoration can be traced back to 1995, when she had just graduated from university and discovered her interest in environmental economics, which, at the time, was not seen as profitable. So, owing to family pressure, she couldn’t pursue her dream and ended up with a business career, but her passion for it remained. It was her mother’s encouragement that brought a turning point. “When I was 38, she said, ‘Why don’t you do it now?’” Maya recalls. Initially hesitant about starting from zero, she eventually pursued a Master’s in Environment and Sustainable Development in the UK. Inspired by London’s Allotment System, where residents could grow their food on government-assigned plots, Maya devoted herself to community-driven sustainable initiatives in East London. In 2016, she walked into Headmaster’s office of a global school to suggest the idea of a school garden as an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) learning space. Maya suggested they should not do any landscaping in the school but let her create a school garden instead. The project was designed as a sparetime course, where students could learn about organic farming — what Maya refers to as “regenerative agriculture”. “We started with Grade 7,” Maya recalls. “Starting from scratch was a lot of work, but with some labour, the garden began to take shape. By July 2018, students had created two forest patches, digging pits, adding biomass, and planting diverse crops. Years later, these students are seeing the fruits of their work.” The activity is now open to students from kindergarten to Grade 12. Maya educates the students on the importance of preserving traditional varieties through seed saving, ensuring they understand the value of biodiversity. Since 2019, the garden has expanded, and the project has also become financially self-supplying. Students harvest crops as part of their classes. Maya emphasizes that the garden is not a production unit but a learning space. The kids take home some of the produce, and the mothers are happy. They sell the spare produce to the school and the community, allowing the garden to fund its tools and resources. This model not only engages the students but also fosters a sense of responsibility and appreciation for sustainable practices. 4. What caused Maya to pick up her dream again? A. The pressure from her mother. B. The success of her business career. C. The support from her family. D. The potential of environmental economics. 5 What can we learn about Maya’s “regenerative agriculture”? A. It is part of London’s Allotment System. B. It is a project funded by the government. C. It is intended to be a formal school course. D. It introduces students to organic farming. 6. What does Maya focus on while carrying out her program? A. The expansion of the garden. B. The importance of tradition. C. The harvest of the crops. D. The awareness of sustainability. 7. Which words can best describe Maya? A. Passionate and generous. B. Innovative and committed. C. Honest and considerate. D. Selfless and tolerant. C Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an“ affiliative (亲和) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well- liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf. 8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the study? A. Its impact. B. Its findings. C. Its limitations. D. Its significance. 9. What may facial expressiveness serve as in negotiation settings? A. A way to frighten competitors. B. A method to hide personalities. C. A tool to show personal quality. D. A strategy to settle disagreement. 10. What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Copy. B. Overlook. C. Remember D. Interpret. 11. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A. Always wearing a still face. B. Learning to be an open book. C. Speaking out inner emotions. D. Forcing a smile through tears. D While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 12. What can we learn about artful thinking? A. It simplifies problem-solving. B. It focuses on developing our brains. C. It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D. It helps promote high-tech machinery. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Benefits of artful intelligence. B. Mind-body awareness in thinking. C. Significance of being mindful. D. Social interaction through movements. 14. What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world? A. Enhance the flexibility of attention. B. Adapt to the rise of AI. C. Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D. Improve the levels of focus. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B. Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds C. Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI 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。 Mastering social situations can be difficult. ____16____ It’s about how you carry yourself — your body language shows your confidence level and classiness (优雅). Here are a few tips for you to improve your non-verbal communication. Master eye contact Eye contact, if handled properly, can change people’s opinions of you. But there’s a thin line between making eye contact and staring blankly. ____17____ The trick here is to maintain comfortable eye contact when you’re listening or speaking. Pick the right gestures Our gestures can reveal our thoughts and emotions, often more accurately than our words. ____18____ To command others’ attention, just use simple, controlled movements such as raising an eyebrow or offering a slight nod. They convey a sense of self-confidence and sophistication(老练).

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
