From an early age, Edward Norton was taught what protecting the environment really requires. His father, an environmental lawyer, founded the Grand Canyon Trust and his grandfather was a pioneer in low-income housing policy. Norton built his own career in a different field, becoming one of his generation’s most respected actors. When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn’t interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work. “I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.” What does nourish Norton is his work with a Kenya-based organization called the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which helps the Maasai people to make a living from their land through innovative means. One project that Norton is particularly proud of channels profits from the sale of carbon offsets (碳补偿) to local Maasai communities who use that money to support health, education, and conservation initiatives. One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization. “We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.” A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country — or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders. Norton is optimistic about the model’s prospects, “I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. The needs of people are not going to take a lower priority to the spiritual value of nature. If protecting and restoring nature can’t produce a stronger and more reliable economy, the effort will fail.” 4. How did Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson? A. Enthusiastic. B. Tolerant. C. Dissatisfied. D. Confused. 5. What is Norton’s main concern about the conservation movement? A. Expansion of its public influence. B. Lack of a stable source of funding. C. Failure to meet the needs of local communities. D. Repetition of the faults of previous generations. 6 What is special about Norton’s new model of conservation? A. Downplaying the value of nature. B. Raising funds from distant donors. C Focusing on local children’s education. D. Benefiting local economic development. 7. Which of the following words best describe Norton? A. Confident and honest. B. Generous and talented. C. Practical and pioneering. D. Ambitious and conventional. “Individuals of all ages who have empathy (共情) understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other people from getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Connecticut. “Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares people from unnecessary hurt. At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes away, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,” she adds. Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. 8. What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? A. They are short-lived. B. They are unidentifiable. C. They are trouble-making. D. They are common. 9. What message does Dr. Breur deliver in paragraph 2? A. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. B. We must respond to our family members truthfully. C. It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent. D. The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients. 10. Which of the following white lies may Dr. Breur support? A. A student claims his homework was left at home. B. An employee blames traffic jam for being late. C. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm. D. A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. East or West, White Lies Are the Best B. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies C. White Lies Signify Unconditional Love D. Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse (凹陷) around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and “feeling” the hardness of products virtually. Though DeformIO, which is 3 mm thick with a 140 mm² surface layer, isn't the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile (触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. “In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said. If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen. It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. “We hope that in 10 to 20 years’ time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we' re exploring the applications it might be best suited to. ” Nash said. 12. What can be learned about DeformIO? A. It's a protective layer for screens. B. It's a screen with tactile flexibility. C. It performs different tasks together. D. It senses changes in users' identity. 13. What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs? A. Its adaptable appearance. B. Its better-quality sensors. C. Its small size and light weight. D. Its more realistic sense of touch. 14. What does the underlined phrase “interface with” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mix up. B. Assist with. C. Connect with. D. Improve on. 15. What challenge might DeformIO face? A. Low customer interest. B. Technical design limitations. C. Insufficient development funds. D. Strong competition within the industry. 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。 In today’s world where artificial intelligence (AI) can copy our words, automate our decisions and even simulate emotions, understanding what sets us apart isn’t just philosophical. ____16____ Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths— our creativity, emotional intelligence, life experiences and sense of purpose, so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it. Here are three irreplaceable human attributes (属性). We have real-life experiences while AI has data. Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we’re born. ____17____ While AI, on the other hand, can analyze massive data, it doesn’t learn from pain, joy, failure, or success the way humans do. Experience isn’t just about information— it’s about personal growth. ____18____ We create stories to make sense of the world find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future. However, AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. Instead, it just processes requests and generates responses, without caring about the outcome beyond the goals that it’s pre-programmed to achieve. We have free will while AI has codes (代码). Humans can choose generosity over self- interest, forgiveness over hatred, and innovation over conformity. But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming. ____19____ AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful, but it will likely never provide what makes us human—empathy (共情), true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences. ____20____ In this way, we can ensure that technology will serve humanity—not the other way around. A. It’s gaining popularity. B. Besides, it is deeply practical. C. We are considerate while AI is creative. D. We seek meaning while AI follows instructions. E. It doesn’t have desires, beliefs or independent thoughts. F. Every failure, success and challenge can influence our future decisions. G. So value our and others’ emotional depth, life experiences and creative potential. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had always loved hip-hop dancing, so when senior year began, I couldn’t wait for what I thought would be another exciting hip-hop class.

While younger kids crowded around other attractions, he focused on his modest business. His real ambition, however, lay beyond this: he dreamed of owning a 3D printer. With it, he could design and create unique phone cases himself, transforming his small summer job into a proper online business. One afternoon, a 10-year-old girl named Michele stopped by and bought one phone case for her mom. As they talked, Nathan shared his dream of having a 3D printer. ‌“With that printer, I can print anything in any form,” Nathan said. “Anything in any form?” Michele’s eyes lit up with sudden excitement. “Once you get it, could you please make a leg for my pet duck Tim? Because he was missing one,” Michele said hopefully. “That’ s a cool project,” Nathan replied. He thought for a minute. “I’ll make him one, but it won’t be ready now. I have to save up some of the money myself to buy the 3D printer.” “How lucky Tim is! You are so kind!” Michele said happily, unable to contain her excitement. Before leaving, Michele exchanged phone numbers with Nathan. They discovered that they lived in the same neighborhood, which meant Nathan could easily get close to the duck and measure the size of its leg in person to ensure that a suitable prosthetic (假体的) leg could be made. He promised to reach out as soon as he could afford a printer. That evening, Nathan told his family about Michele and his promise. His parents praised his kindness and initiative. They agreed to offer some financial support to buy the printer but also emphasized the importance of his own effort. “We’re proud you’re earning this yourself, Nathan,” his father said. “Saving your share shows real commitment.” Nathan nodded firmly, feeling more determined than ever. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nathan worked very hard for the 3D printer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, creating the leg model was not easy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋学期金坛一中高三年级英语期中适应性调研卷（3） （调研用时：120分钟 本卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn’t interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work. “I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.” What does nourish Norton is his work with a Kenya-based organization called the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which helps the Maasai people to make a living from their land through innovative means. One project that Norton is particularly proud of channels profits from the sale of carbon offsets (碳补偿) to local Maasai communities who use that money to support health, education, and conservation initiatives. One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization. “We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.” A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country — or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders. Norton is optimistic about the model’s prospects, “I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. The needs of people are not going to take a lower priority to the spiritual value of nature. If protecting and restoring nature can’t produce a stronger and more reliable economy, the effort will fail.” 4. How did Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson? A. Enthusiastic. B. Tolerant. C. Dissatisfied. D. Confused. 5. What is Norton’s main concern about the conservation movement? A. Expansion of its public influence. B. Lack of a stable source of funding. C. Failure to meet the needs of local communities. D. Repetition of the faults of previous generations. 6. What is special about Norton’s new model of conservation? A. Downplaying the value of nature. B. Raising funds from distant donors. C. Focusing on local children’s education. D. Benefiting local economic development. 7. Which of the following words best describe Norton? A. Confident and honest. B. Generous and talented. C. Practical and pioneering. D. Ambitious and conventional. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了演员爱德华・诺顿（Edward Norton）在环保领域的实践与探索，展现了他在环保领域的务实与创新。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn’t interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work. “I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.”(诺顿刚成名时，就认定自己对普通的名人发言人工作不感兴趣。他说：“我不想成为那种毫无分量的发言人。这并不是说我认为那些事不重要，而是那种工作对我来说没有任何意义。”)”可知，诺顿对成为典型的名人发言人并不感兴趣，甚至觉得这种工作“没有意义”，由此可判断他对此持不满态度。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization. “We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.”(诺顿关注的一个挑战，他的父亲和祖父可能也很熟悉：筹集资金。这让诺顿有了一个认识。他说：“我们不能让环保运动只依赖捐赠者资助的慈善事业，这种模式不仅无法扩大规模，本质上还不稳定。”)”可知，诺顿认为环保运动目前依赖捐赠的资金模式不稳定，即他主要担心的是环保运动缺乏稳定的资金来源。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country — or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders.(需要一种新的模式。诺顿和他的合作伙伴认为，在生态脆弱地区花费的旅游资金应该留在当地——或者更好的是，留在社区里。诺顿和他的团队创办了一家名为“保护公平”的公司，该公司将在重要地区投资旅游业，并将利润再投资于当地，而不是支付给远方的股东。)”可知，诺顿的新型环保模式通过投资当地旅游业、将利润再投资于当地的方式，助力当地经济发展，这是其特别之处。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的““I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.”(“我对当一个软弱无力的代言人不感兴趣，”他说。“这并不是说我认为那些事情不重要，但那对我毫无滋养。”)”以及第四段中的““We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.”(“我们不能让保护运动仅仅依赖于捐赠资金的慈善事业，”他说，“这不仅无法扩大规模，而且从根本上来说就是不稳定的。”)”可知，诺顿拒绝无意义的代言，直面传统环保模式弊端，注重实际效果，显务实特质。另外根据倒数第二段中的“Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders.(诺顿和他的团队创办了一家名为“保护公平”的公司，该公司将在重要地区投资旅游业，并将利润再投资于当地，而不是支付给远方的股东。)”以及最后一段中的“I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. (我认为我们正在做的事情没有先例可循)”可知，他创新提出“旅游投资+本地再投资”模式并落地，且模式无先例，显开拓精神，因此他是务实且具有开拓精神的。故选C。 “Individuals of all ages who have empathy (共情) understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other people from getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Connecticut. “Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares people from unnecessary hurt. At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes away, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,” she adds. Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. 8. What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? A. They are short-lived. B. They are unidentifiable. C. They are trouble-making. D. They are common. 9. What message does Dr. Breur deliver in paragraph 2? A. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. B. We must respond to our family members truthfully. C. It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent. D. The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients. 10. Which of the following white lies may Dr. Breur support? A. A student claims his homework was left at home. B. An employee blames traffic jam for being late. C. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm. D. A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. East or West, White Lies Are the Best B. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies C. White Lies Signify Unconditional Love D. Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过两位心理学家的观点，探讨善意的谎言的普遍性及其双重影响，最终强调需根据情境权衡诚实与善意的平衡。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中Barbara Greenberg所说的话“Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies (我遇到的大多数人都会说这些善意的小谎言)”可知，Barbara Greenberg认为大多数人会说善意的谎言，即它们具有普遍性。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. (事实是，不说真话会让你不愉快；这不仅仅关乎被告知善意谎言的人)”可知，善意的谎言可能会既伤害说谎者，也伤害听者。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Breur博士所说的话“So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity (所以，当我们看到一位母亲清楚地看到她的女儿长胖了，她说你看起来很好，这是可以接受的。它反映了善意的谎言的意图，即善意、保护和无条件的爱。否则，善意的谎言——尤其是为了逃避个人责任的谎言——会引发人与人之间不信任的循环，最终损害诚信)”可知，Breur博士认为善意的谎言是否可以接受取决于其意图，“一位父亲告诉儿子，他们丢失的宠物在农场里快乐地生活着”是出于善意、保护和无条件的爱，与母亲夸赞长胖女儿的动机一致，是Breur博士会支持的善意的谎言。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. (因此，重要的是要问问自己，什么时候说出诚实的事实是合适的，什么时候不合适，什么时候最好退一步，给出一个更微妙的回应。通常情况下，你需要在两者之间找到平衡)”可知，文章围绕善意的谎言展开，通过两位心理学家的观点，探讨善意的谎言的普遍性及其双重影响，最终强调需根据情境权衡诚实与善意的平衡。因此，B项“说善意的谎言前要三思”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse (凹陷) around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and “feeling” the hardness of products virtually. Though DeformIO, which is 3 mm thick with a 140 mm² surface layer, isn't the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile (触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. “In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said. If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen. It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. “We hope that in 10 to 20 years’ time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we' re exploring the applications it might be best suited to. ” Nash said. 12. What can be learned about DeformIO? A. It's a protective layer for screens. B. It's a screen with tactile flexibility. C. It performs different tasks together. D. It senses changes in users' identity. 13. What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs? A. Its adaptable appearance. B. Its better-quality sensors. C. Its small size and light weight. D. Its more realistic sense of touch. 14. What does the underlined phrase “interface with” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mix up. B. Assist with. C. Connect with. D. Improve on. 15. What challenge might DeformIO face? A. Low customer interest. B. Technical design limitations. C. Insufficient development funds. D. Strong competition within the industry. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国巴斯大学研发的DeformIO——它能根据手指压力实时改变形状与硬度，为用户提供连续的触觉反馈，从而在手机、地图导航等日常应用中实现更自然、丰富的交互体验。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse (凹陷) around it.(巴斯大学的研究人员最近研发出一款新型触摸屏，当用户对其施加不同力度时，该屏幕能够改变自身的形状与硬度。这款被他们命名为 “DeformIO” 的屏幕，采用气动系统和传感器来检测手指施加的压力大小，随后会围绕手指发生凹陷。)”可知，DeformIO 是一块具有触觉柔韧性的屏幕。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子““In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said.(首席作者詹姆斯·纳什说：“换句话说，DeformIO可以让用户在按压表面时感受到更丰富、更有触感和更自然的反应。)”可知，DeformIO突出优势是更真实、丰富的触感。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文的“If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices(如果新屏幕真的应用到广泛的消费者移动设备上)”和下文的例子“The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen.(研究人员设想了一种情况，未来的旅行者配备了DeformIO，用它来穿越数字地图的各个部分。在这个例子中，旅行者可以通过在屏幕上施加更多或更少的压力，在地图的道路视图部分和卫星视图部分之间快速切换)”可知， 此处指的是“改变用户与应用程序的交互/连接方式”。所以interface with的意义为“与……连接”与connect with意义一致。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It's possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way.(像折叠屏这类相对不够先进的手机设计，尽管已问世多年，却仍难以在小众群体之外获得广泛应用。DeformIO 这类屏幕最终也有可能落得同样的下场。)”可知，消费者对DeformIO face兴趣可能不高。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s world where artificial intelligence (AI) can copy our words, automate our decisions and even simulate emotions, understanding what sets us apart isn’t just philosophical. ____16____ Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths— our creativity, emotional intelligence, life experiences and sense of purpose, so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it. Here are three irreplaceable human attributes (属性). We have real-life experiences while AI has data. Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we’re born. ____17____ While AI, on the other hand, can analyze massive data, it doesn’t learn from pain, joy, failure, or success the way humans do. Experience isn’t just about information— it’s about personal growth. ____18____ We create stories to make sense of the world, find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future. However, AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. Instead, it just processes requests and generates responses, without caring about the outcome beyond the goals that it’s pre-programmed to achieve. We have free will while AI has codes (代码). Humans can choose generosity over self- interest, forgiveness over hatred, and innovation over conformity. But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming. ____19____ AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful, but it will likely never provide what makes us human—empathy (共情), true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences. ____20____ In this way, we can ensure that technology will serve humanity—not the other way around. A. It’s gaining popularity. B. Besides, it is deeply practical. C We are considerate while AI is creative. D. We seek meaning while AI follows instructions. E. It doesn’t have desires, beliefs or independent thoughts. F. Every failure, success and challenge can influence our future decisions. G. So value our and others’ emotional depth, life experiences and creative potential. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了在人工智能能模仿人类诸多行为的当下，了解人类与AI的区别至关重要，并介绍了人类三项不可替代的属性。 【16题详解】 上文“In today’s world where artificial intelligence (AI) can copy our words, automate our decisions and even simulate emotions, understanding what sets us apart isn’t just philosophical. (在当今世界，人工智能（AI）能够模仿我们的语言、自动做出决策，甚至模拟情感，了解是什么让我们与众不同，这不仅仅是一个哲学层面的问题)”说明了解人类与AI的区别不只是哲学上的，空处承接上文，进一步说明其性质，B选项“此外，它还非常实用”中的“Besides”与上文形成递进关系，同时呼应下文“Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths— our creativity, emotional intelligence, life experiences and sense of purpose, so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it. (弄清楚是什么让我们与智能机器有着不容置疑的区别，有助于我们保护甚至拓展自身最宝贵的优势——创造力、情商、生活阅历以及目标感，这样一来，我们就不仅仅是与人工智能共存，而是要超越它，主动塑造未来，而非被它所塑造)，提到的了解区别能帮助我们保护和拓展自身优势，符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we’re born. (从出生那一刻起，经历就是塑造我们最强大的力量之一)”，强调经历对人的塑造作用，F选项“每一次失败、成功和挑战都会影响我们未来的决定”，具体阐述了不同经历对人未来决策的影响，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 下文“We create stories to make sense of the world, find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future. However, AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. (我们通过创造故事来理解世界，在奋斗中寻找目标，并将过去与未来联系起来。然而，人工智能不会去思考它所做事情背后的“原因”)”，对比了人类和AI在对待事物“原因”“意义”上的不同，D选项“我们寻求意义，而人工智能遵循指令”准确概括了人类追求意义、AI仅按指令行事的区别，概括上文的对比，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文“But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming. (但人工智能只遵循规则。无论多么先进，它总是受其程序的约束)”说明AI受程序限制，空处承接上文，进一步说明AI的局限性，E选项“它没有欲望、信念或独立思考”是对AI受程序约束、缺乏自主性的进一步阐述，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful, but it will likely never provide what makes us human—empathy (共情), true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences. (人工智能可能非常有用和有帮助，但它很可能永远无法提供那些使我们成为人的东西——共情、真爱、有意义的目标和生活经历)”，强调了人类所拥有的独特品质是AI无法提供的，G选项“所以要珍视我们自己和他人的情感深度、生活经历和创造潜力”承接上文，呼吁人们重视自身独特品质，与下文“In this way, we can ensure that technology will serve humanity—not the other way around. (通过这种方式，我们可以确保技术将服务于人类——而不是反过来人类服务于技术)”，确保技术服务于人类相呼应，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had always loved hip-hop dancing, so when senior year began, I couldn’t wait for what I thought would be another exciting hip-hop class.

Specifically, delicate bookshelves could be installed at the corners of each floor’s corridor. These shelves could be stocked with a diverse range of reading materials including storybooks, science magazines and classic novels. Students could drop by during breaks or after school, enjoying a quiet space to unwind from heavy studies. Not only will these corners encourage us to read regularly, but they will also add cultural charm to our campus, fostering a stronger reading atmosphere. I am looking forward to seeing these reading corners come to life. A Campus Upgrade Tip I would like to propose adding corner culture walls in the corridors. We can place them at the L-shaped corners of corridors on each floor. As for design, one section can display students’ calligraphy, paintings and short essays about campus life; another can share quotes from famous scholars or essential knowledge points. Besides, a small interactive area can be designed, where students post notes sharing insights into personal growth or study tips. Such culture walls will not only refresh the corridor’s look but also let students experience the cultural charm of the campus in daily walks. I truly believe these corner culture walls will bring fresh vitality to our campus. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的身份向校英文校报“校园升级建议”栏目投稿，推荐一项校园环境优化创意方案，包括改造做法及理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 精美的：delicate → exquisite 多样的：diverse → varied 鼓励：encourage → inspire 定期地：regularly → consistently 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句/同义句转换/合并简单句 原句：I am looking forward to seeing these reading corners come to life. 拓展句：I am looking forward to seeing the moment when these reading corners come to life. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Students could drop by during breaks or after school, enjoying a quiet space to unwind from heavy studies.（运用了现在分词enjoying作状语） 【高分句型2】I am looking forward to seeing these reading corners come to life.（运用了动名词seeing作宾语） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Fourteen-year-old Nathan ran a small stand selling colorful phone cases at the annual community Summer Carnival (嘉年华). While younger kids crowded around other attractions, he focused on his modest business. His real ambition, however, lay beyond this: he dreamed of owning a 3D printer. With it, he could design and create unique phone cases himself, transforming his small summer job into a proper online business. One afternoon, a 10-year-old girl named Michele stopped by and bought one phone case for her mom. As they talked, Nathan shared his dream of having a 3D printer. ‌“With that printer, I can print anything in any form,” Nathan said. “Anything in any form?” Michele’s eyes lit up with sudden excitement. “Once you get it, could you please make a leg for my pet duck Tim? Because he was missing one,” Michele said hopefully. “That’ s a cool project,” Nathan replied. He thought for a minute. “I’ll make him one, but it won’t be ready now. I have to save up some of the money myself to buy the 3D printer.” “How lucky Tim is! You are so kind!” Michele said happily, unable to contain her excitement. Before leaving, Michele exchanged phone numbers with Nathan. They discovered that they lived in the same neighborhood, which meant Nathan could easily get close to the duck and measure the size of its leg in person to ensure that a suitable prosthetic (假体的) leg could be made. He promised to reach out as soon as he could afford a printer. That evening, Nathan told his family about Michele and his promise. His parents praised his kindness and initiative. They agreed to offer some financial support to buy the printer but also emphasized the importance of his own effort. “We’re proud you’re earning this yourself, Nathan,” his father said. “Saving your share shows real commitment.” Nathan nodded firmly, feeling more determined than ever. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nathan worked very hard for the 3D printer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, creating the leg model was not easy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Nathan worked very hard for the 3D printer. He continued to sell phone cases at the carnival and even took on some odd jobs around the neighborhood. He saved every penny he earned, carefully keeping track of his progress in a notebook. Weeks passed, and finally, Nathan had saved enough money to buy the 3D printer. He was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to start working on Michele’s project. Moreover, he also shared his excitement with his friends, who were all very supportive of him. However, creating the leg model was not easy. Nathan faced many challenges along the way. He had to take precise measurements of Tim’s remaining leg and do a lot of research to understand how a prosthetic leg should be designed. He spent countless hours tinkering with the printer, adjusting the settings, and trying different materials. But he refused to give up. Finally, after many tries, he created a leg that fit Tim perfectly. Michele was overjoyed when she saw it, and Nathan felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. His hard work had paid off, and he had not only fulfilled his promise but also gained valuable skills and experience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了14岁的Nathan在嘉年华卖手机壳，梦想拥有3D打印机，他答应为Michele的宠物鸭Tim制作一条假腿，在父母支持下努力攒钱买打印机。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Nathan为了3D打印机非常努力地工作。”可知，第一段可描写Nathan通过各种方式努力赚钱买打印机，最终成功买到并准备开始制作假腿。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，制作腿的模型并不容易。”可知，第二段可描写Nathan在制作过程中遇到的困难以及他如何克服困难，最终成功制作出适合Tim的假腿。 2. 续写线索：努力工作攒钱——买到打印机——开始制作假腿——遇到困难——克服困难——成功制作假腿 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①继续：continue/go on/keep on ②承担：take on/undertake ③流逝：pass/elapse/go by 情绪类 ①欣喜若狂：overjoyed/ecstatic/thrilled ②成就：accomplishment/achievement 【点睛】[高分句型1] He saved every penny he earned, carefully keeping track of his progress in a notebook.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型2] He had to take precise measurements of Tim’s remaining leg and do a lot of research to understand how a prosthetic leg should be designed.(运用了连接副词how引导宾语从句) [高分句型3] Finally, after many tries, he created a leg that fit Tim perfectly.(运用了关系代词that引导限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
