Throughout the year, I noticed that Juan had an unusual ability to solve equations, and to correlate abstract relationships between concepts. I was shocked when he approached me after school one day to tell me that he liked chemistry, but failed to think that he was intelligent enough to attend college. He asked me what he should do with his life. I praised Juan’s talent and encouraged him not to waste it. His eyes lit up as I explained how scholarships, loans, and grants could make college possible, then invited him to join my advanced placement chemistry class next year. After promising to reconsider his future, Juan surprised me the next morning during my jog by appearing on my lawn, declaring cheerfully, “I’ve decided to take your AP class.” Juan was my best student that year in advanced placement chemistry. His skills and abilities continued to grow, and he never tired of mind-bending calculations or homework. He literally blossomed before my eyes. As the end of the year approached, Juan thanked me for my interest in his life. I was profoundly moved when he told me that those fifteen or twenty minutes that we had talked the previous year had changed his life. He got an A on the advanced placement chemistry exam and he was awarded enough scholarship assistance that he was able to attend the local university. My experiences with Juan contributed to my decision to remain in the classroom. My love for my students and for the subject I teach has continued to grow over the years. I consider myself most fortunate to be a chemistry teacher, and to have been a part of so many young lives, hopes, and dreams! 4. What was Juan’s initial attitude towards his own academic abilities?

Initially, it relied on statistical machine translation (SMT), which analyzed many translated texts to predict the most likely translations. However, in recent years, Google has switched to neural (神经的) machine translation (NMT), which uses deep learning models to improve accuracy by understanding context rather than just individual words. The system works by translating entire sentences instead of translating word by word. This produces more natural-sounding results, especially for European languages, which share similar structures. However, for more complex language pairs, particularly those with major grammatical differences, the accuracy is lower. Several studies have been conducted to measure the accuracy of Google Translate, including research from the UCLA Medical Center. The results show that while the tool works well with commonly spoken languages, it has difficulty with complex sentence structures and less commonly translated texts. A study by Slator found that Google Translate’s accuracy largely depends on the specific language pairs. For example, translations between English and Spanish are often better than translations involving Asian or African languages, where grammatical structures and cultural differences are very different. Moreover, research from Smartling indicates that Google Translate is most suitable for basic communication rather than professional or legal translations. While it can provide a general idea of a text’s meaning, it often falls short of delivering correct translations for specialized fields like medicine, law, or marketing. Despite improvements, Google Translate is not free from errors. First, the tool sometimes translates phrases word-for-word, resulting in unnatural or incorrect meanings. Second, sentence structures may be incorrect, especially in non-European languages. Additionally, Google Translate has trouble with ambiguous (含糊的) words or cultural differences that require deeper understanding. AI translations often lose the meaning of phrases that are unique to a specific culture. 8. How does NMT differ from SMT? A. It takes advantage of big data. B. It focuses on structural changes. C. It gives diverse translation results. D. It stresses relations between lines. 9. What can be inferred from Google Translate-related studies? A. It works poorly for all non-European languages. B. Some language pairs produce better results than others. C. Its translations in legal fields are fully reliable. D. Cultural differences have little effect on translation. 10. What does the underlined phrase “falls short of” mean in paragraph 4? A. Try one’s best. B. Make a quick decision. C. Fail to meet the standard. D. Fall a very short distance. 11. What is an improvement direction for Google Translate? A. Fewer grammar mistakes. B. Unique user experiences. C. Quicker responses. D. Offline translation. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌翻译从统计机器翻译到神经机器翻译的发展，分析了其工作方式、不同语言对的翻译表现、适用场景及现存问题（如语法错误、文化差异处理不足等）。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Initially, it relied on statistical machine translation (SMT), which analyzed many translated texts to predict the most likely translations. However, in recent years, Google has switched to neural (神经的) machine translation (NMT), which uses deep learning models to improve accuracy by understanding context rather than just individual words.(最初，它依赖统计机器翻译（SMT），这种翻译方式会分析大量已翻译文本以预测最可能的译文。然而，近年来，谷歌转向了神经机器翻译（NMT），它使用深度学习模型，通过理解语境而非仅关注单个单词来提高准确性。)”可知，NMT与SMT的区别在于NMT注重理解语境，而非SMT仅依赖文本分析。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A study by Slator found that Google Translate’s accuracy largely depends on the specific language pairs. For example, translations between English and Spanish are often better than translations involving Asian or African languages, where grammatical structures and cultural differences are very different.(Slator的一项研究发现，谷歌翻译的准确性在很大程度上取决于特定的语言组合。例如，英语和西班牙语之间的翻译通常比涉及亚洲或非洲语言的翻译效果更好，因为这些语言的语法结构和文化差异非常大。)”可知，不同语言组合的翻译效果存在差异，部分语言组合的翻译结果优于其他组合。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Moreover, research from Smartling indicates that Google Translate is most suitable for basic communication rather than professional or legal translations. While it can provide a general idea of a text’s meaning, it often falls short of delivering correct translations for specialized fields like medicine, law, or marketing.(此外，来自Smartling的研究表明，谷歌翻译最适合基础交流，而非专业或法律领域的翻译。虽然它能让人了解文本的大致意思，但在医学、法律或营销等专业领域，它往往______提供准确的译文。)”可知，前文明确谷歌翻译不适合专业领域，且“while”表转折，强调其在基础交流中能发挥作用，但在专业领域无法达到“提供准确译文”的要求，结合语境可推断，“falls short of”表达“无法达到某种标准或要求”的含义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Despite improvements, Google Translate is not free from errors. First, the tool sometimes translates phrases word-for-word, resulting in unnatural or incorrect meanings. Second, sentence structures may be incorrect, especially in non-European languages. Additionally, Google Translate has trouble with ambiguous (含糊的) words or cultural differences that require deeper understanding.(尽管有所改进，谷歌翻译仍存在错误。首先，该工具有时会逐字翻译短语，导致意思不自然或不正确。其次，句子结构可能不正确，尤其是在非欧洲语言的翻译中。此外，谷歌翻译在处理需要深入理解的含糊单词或文化差异时存在困难。)”可知，谷歌翻译当前存在句子结构错误（语法错误）等问题，因此减少语法错误是其重要的改进方向，选项中“Fewer grammar mistakes”（更少的语法错误）与原文中“sentence structures may be incorrect”（句子结构可能不正确）的问题直接对应。故选A项。 D Prehistoric people may have used firelight to create the illusion (错觉) of movement in their art. An analysis of 50 carved stones dug up in France suggests that when the stones were placed near a fire, the light made the carved animals appear to move, researchers reported on April 20 in PLOS ONE. These stones, or “plaquettes”, were discovered in the 1860s in a rock shelter called Montastruc and were carved with images of animals such as horses and deer. The site was used by Magdalenian people, hunter-gatherers inhabiting the area between 23,000 and 14,000 years ago. The researchers analyzed heat damage on the stones, which indicated that they had been exposed directly to high temperatures for prolonged periods, and created 3D models of the stones.These models were imported into virtual reality software and placed next to a virtual hearth (壁炉炉床) so that the heat-damaged areas were closest to the flames, simulating (模仿) how the stones might have been arranged in real life. The researchers then observed the visual effects under the virtual firelight. “It was surprising to see how dynamic the art was and how much your experience of the art changed with something as simple as placing it near a fire,” says Andy Needham, an archaeologist at the University of York in England. He suggests that the artists intentionally carved along the contours (轮廓) of the rock to use the flickering firelight to create an impression of meaningful movement. The finding enhances archaeologists' understanding of the relationship between early humans’ artwork and fire. Another recent study found that Stone Age humans created “hidden” art in dark caves that could only be lighted and viewed with appropriate lighting. 12. What is known about the carved stones from the text? A. They were found in Spain in the 1860s. B. They were made about 23,000 years ago. C. They showed animals like horses and deer. D. They were carved with animals in motion. 13. Why did experts create 3D models and put them near a virtual hearth? A. To measure the exact temperature of the flames. B. To repair the heat-damaged areas on the stones. C. To identify the types of animals carved on the stones. D. To copy how the stones might have been used with fire. 14. What does Andy Needham suggest about the ancient artists? A. They preferred to work in dark caves. B. They had a deep understanding of visual effects. C. They avoided carving near the edges of the stones. D. They relied on firelight while carving the stones. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Effect of Firelight on Ancient Art Perception B. How the Ancient People Made Tools fromstones C. A New Study on Hunter-Gatherer Life in France D. How Hidden Art Was Truly Made in Dark Caves 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现史前人类可能利用火光让雕刻艺术品产生运动错觉，相关分析与模拟实验增进了对早期人类艺术与火的关系的理解。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These stones, or “plaquettes”, were discovered in the 1860s in a rock shelter called Montastruc and were carved with images of animals such as horses and deer. (这些石头，或称“石板”，于19世纪60年代在一个名为蒙塔斯特鲁克的岩石庇护所被发现，上面雕刻着马和鹿等动物的图像。)”可知，这些雕刻石头上有马、鹿等动物图案。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These models were imported into virtual reality software and placed next to a virtual hearth (壁炉炉床) so that the heat-damaged areas were closest to the flames, simulating (模仿) how the stones might have been arranged in real life.(这些模型被导入虚拟现实软件，并放置在虚拟壁炉炉床旁，使受热损坏的区域最接近火焰，以此模拟这些石头在现实生活中可能的摆放方式。)”可知，专家制作3D模型并置于虚拟壁炉旁，是为了模仿石头当年可能与火搭配使用的场景。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He suggests that the artists intentionally carved along the contours (轮廓) of the rock to use the flickering firelight to create an impression of meaningful movement.(他认为，艺术家们有意沿着岩石的轮廓雕刻，利用摇曳的火光来营造出有意义的运动感。)”可知，古代艺术家有意借助岩石轮廓和火光设计雕刻，说明他们对视觉效果有深刻理解。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Prehistoric people may have used firelight to create the illusion (错觉) of movement in their art.(史前人类可能利用火光在他们的艺术作品中创造运动的错觉。)”、第三段的视觉效果实验结果以及第四段中的“The finding enhances archaeologists’ understanding of the relationship between early humans’ artwork and fire.(这一发现增进了考古学家对早期人类艺术作品与火之间关系的理解。)”可知，文章核心围绕火光对古代艺术品感知的影响展开，选项A最能概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Soon you’ll be done with the stresses of high school.

Always 43, regardless of topic or term. The nickname always filled Bella with concern. Bella now runs a service firm that plans small events — outdoor trips for staff and their families, or weekend parties. The discussion nearly always turns to their children, since most of her clients are parents. You know how it goes — one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about Math Olympiads or leadership responsibilities. Bella would simply sit there,softly nodding, feeling uncomfortable. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all she could think about was Grace and her Number 43. At a family get-together, as lunch concluded, someone playfully asked the youngsters what they wanted to be when they grew up. Brave, ambitious answers filled the room: “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” Adults applauded each declaration, celebrating these impressive dreams. Grace, however, didn’t answer. She was quietly helping — bringing cups of soup, handing out cookies — content in her own little world. The relative then prompted, “Grace, what do you want to be?” Grace paused, then smiled. “Uncle, I want to be a Montessori teacher. I love tiny kids, dancing, singing, and playing.” The lively room fell silent. Bella’ s heart sank with embarrassment, fearing the quiet meant adults found Grace’ s dream small or unimpressive. Yet, Grace remained calm, her gentle smile steady, as if she knew a profound truth about her path’s value and joy, a truth the adults, caught in worldly (世俗的)expectations, hadn’t grasped. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 An elderly aunt broke into warm applause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 For the first time, Bella saw “Number 43” not as a shortcoming. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: An elderly aunt broke into warm applause. “What a beautiful dream” she said. “How many times have we wished we could go back to our childhood when we were carefree? How I wish I could be a child again” she sighed. “And how many times have we said we wish our children could be children for a longer time?” she added. “But the fact is, they grow up, and they have to leave us.” She stopped. “So, why not just let them be children?” she said with a smile. “Let them pursue their own dreams, and we should support them.” For the first time, Bella saw “Number 23” not as a shortcoming. She realized that she should respect her daughter’s dream. “Grace, I am so proud of you,” she said. “You have a dream, and you’ re going to achieve it.” “Thank you, Mom,” Grace said with a smile. “I’m going to work really hard to make it come true.” “I know you will,” Sumi said. “And I will always be there for you.” “Thank you, Mom,” Grace said. “I love you.” “I love you, too,” Bella said. 【解析】 【导语】本文以贝拉的女儿格蕾丝的成长经历为线索，讲述了格蕾丝考试总排第43名被唤作“43号”，母亲贝拉因女儿成绩普通、梦想只是成为蒙特梭利老师而感到尴尬，而格蕾丝自身却对梦想充满信心的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一位年迈的姨妈突然热烈鼓起掌来。”可知，第一段可描写姨妈称赞格蕾丝的梦想美好，感慨成年人常被世俗期待裹挟，呼吁大家尊重孩子的天性与自主选择，支持他们追求自己真正热爱的梦想，打破了房间的沉默。 ②由第二段首句内容“贝拉第一次不把“43号”看作是缺点。”可知，第二段可描写贝拉深受触动，意识到成绩不能定义孩子的价值，她向格蕾丝表达自豪与支持，格蕾丝也坚定表示会努力实现梦想，母女俩达成情感共鸣。 2. 续写线索：姨妈鼓掌称赞——姨妈阐述支持孩子梦想的道理——贝拉转变认知——贝拉表达对格蕾丝的认可与支持——格蕾丝坚定追梦决心 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①追求：pursue/follow/go after ②支持：support/stand by ③实现：achieve/realize/make it come true 情绪类 ①自豪：be proud of/take pride in ②微笑着：with a smile/smiling/cheerfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] How many times have we wished we could go back to our childhood when we were carefree?（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] She realized that she should respect her daughter’s dream.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 九龙坡区高 2026届高三上半期考试 英语试题 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B Juan came from a very poor, single parent home. Throughout the year, I noticed that Juan had an unusual ability to solve equations, and to correlate abstract relationships between concepts. I was shocked when he approached me after school one day to tell me that he liked chemistry, but failed to think that he was intelligent enough to attend college. He asked me what he should do with his life. I praised Juan’s talent and encouraged him not to waste it. His eyes lit up as I explained how scholarships, loans, and grants could make college possible, then invited him to join my advanced placement chemistry class next year. After promising to reconsider his future, Juan surprised me the next morning during my jog by appearing on my lawn, declaring cheerfully, “I’ve decided to take your AP class.” Juan was my best student that year in advanced placement chemistry. His skills and abilities continued to grow, and he never tired of mind-bending calculations or homework. He literally blossomed before my eyes. As the end of the year approached, Juan thanked me for my interest in his life. I was profoundly moved when he told me that those fifteen or twenty minutes that we had talked the previous year had changed his life. He got an A on the advanced placement chemistry exam and he was awarded enough scholarship assistance that he was able to attend the local university. My experiences with Juan contributed to my decision to remain in the classroom. My love for my students and for the subject I teach has continued to grow over the years. I consider myself most fortunate to be a chemistry teacher, and to have been a part of so many young lives, hopes, and dreams! 4. What was Juan’s initial attitude towards his own academic abilities? A. Confident about college. B. Excelled in chemistry. C. Avoided challenges. D. Doubted university chances. 5. Which of the following best explain “literally blossomed before my eyes” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Became physically taller. B. Improved social skills. C. Showed amazing growth. D. Planted lab experiments. 6 Which of the following best describes the teacher? A. Knowledgeable and patient. B. Sympathetic and helpful. C. Passionate and intelligent. D. Approachable and persistent. 7. What was the long-term impact of Juan’s story on the teacher? A. Won teaching awards. B. Changed subjects taught. C. Focused on poor students. D. Stayed in teaching. C Google Translate has improved significantly over the years. Initially, it relied on statistical machine translation (SMT), which analyzed many translated texts to predict the most likely translations. However, in recent years, Google has switched to neural (神经的) machine translation (NMT), which uses deep learning models to improve accuracy by understanding context rather than just individual words. The system works by translating entire sentences instead of translating word by word. This produces more natural-sounding results, especially for European languages, which share similar structures. However, for more complex language pairs, particularly those with major grammatical differences, the accuracy is lower. Several studies have been conducted to measure the accuracy of Google Translate, including research from the UCLA Medical Center. The results show that while the tool works well with commonly spoken languages, it has difficulty with complex sentence structures and less commonly translated texts. A study by Slator found that Google Translate’s accuracy largely depends on the specific language pairs. For example, translations between English and Spanish are often better than translations involving Asian or African languages, where grammatical structures and cultural differences are very different. Moreover, research from Smartling indicates that Google Translate is most suitable for basic communication rather than professional or legal translations. While it can provide a general idea of a text’s meaning, it often falls short of delivering correct translations for specialized fields like medicine, law, or marketing. Despite improvements, Google Translate is not free from errors. First, the tool sometimes translates phrases word-for-word, resulting in unnatural or incorrect meanings. Second, sentence structures may be incorrect, especially in non-European languages. Additionally, Google Translate has trouble with ambiguous (含糊的) words or cultural differences that require deeper understanding. AI translations often lose the meaning of phrases that are unique to a specific culture. 8. How does NMT differ from SMT? A. It takes advantage of big data. B. It focuses on structural changes. C. It gives diverse translation results. D. It stresses relations between lines. 9. What can be inferred from Google Translate-related studies? A. It works poorly for all non-European languages. B. Some language pairs produce better results than others. C Its translations in legal fields are fully reliable. D. Cultural differences have little effect on translation. 10. What does the underlined phrase “falls short of” mean in paragraph 4? A. Try one’s best. B. Make a quick decision. C. Fail to meet the standard. D. Fall a very short distance. 11. What is an improvement direction for Google Translate? A Fewer grammar mistakes. B. Unique user experiences. C. Quicker responses. D. Offline translation. D Prehistoric people may have used firelight to create the illusion (错觉) of movement in their art. An analysis of 50 carved stones dug up in France suggests that when the stones were placed near a fire, the light made the carved animals appear to move, researchers reported on April 20 in PLOS ONE. These stones, or “plaquettes”, were discovered in the 1860s in a rock shelter called Montastruc and were carved with images of animals such as horses and deer. The site was used by Magdalenian people, hunter-gatherers inhabiting the area between 23,000 and 14,000 years ago. The researchers analyzed heat damage on the stones, which indicated that they had been exposed directly to high temperatures for prolonged periods, and created 3D models of the stones.These models were imported into virtual reality software and placed next to a virtual hearth (壁炉炉床) so that the heat-damaged areas were closest to the flames, simulating (模仿) how the stones might have been arranged in real life. The researchers then observed the visual effects under the virtual firelight. “It was surprising to see how dynamic the art was and how much your experience of the art changed with something as simple as placing it near a fire,” says Andy Needham, an archaeologist at the University of York in England. He suggests that the artists intentionally carved along the contours (轮廓) of the rock to use the flickering firelight to create an impression of meaningful movement. The finding enhances archaeologists' understanding of the relationship between early humans’ artwork and fire. Another recent study found that Stone Age humans created “hidden” art in dark caves that could only be lighted and viewed with appropriate lighting. 12.

To repair the heat-damaged areas on the stones. C. To identify the types of animals carved on the stones. D. To copy how the stones might have been used with fire. 14. What does Andy Needham suggest about the ancient artists? A. They preferred to work in dark caves. B. They had a deep understanding of visual effects. C. They avoided carving near the edges of the stones. D. They relied on firelight while carving the stones. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Effect of Firelight on Ancient Art Perception B. How the Ancient People Made Tools fromstones C. A New Study on Hunter-Gatherer Life in France D. How Hidden Art Was Truly Made in Dark Caves 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Soon you’ll be done with the stresses of high school.

Always 43, regardless of topic or term. The nickname always filled Bella with concern. Bella now runs a service firm that plans small events — outdoor trips for staff and their families, or weekend parties. The discussion nearly always turns to their children, since most of her clients are parents. You know how it goes — one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about Math Olympiads or leadership responsibilities. Bella would simply sit there,softly nodding, feeling uncomfortable. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all she could think about was Grace and her Number 43. At a family get-together, as lunch concluded, someone playfully asked the youngsters what they wanted to be when they grew up. Brave, ambitious answers filled the room: “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” Adults applauded each declaration, celebrating these impressive dreams. Grace, however, didn’t answer. She was quietly helping — bringing cups of soup, handing out cookies — content in her own little world. The relative then prompted, “Grace, what do you want to be?” Grace paused, then smiled. “Uncle, I want to be a Montessori teacher. I love tiny kids, dancing, singing, and playing.” The lively room fell silent. Bella’ s heart sank with embarrassment, fearing the quiet meant adults found Grace’ s dream small or unimpressive. Yet, Grace remained calm, her gentle smile steady, as if she knew a profound truth about her path’s value and joy, a truth the adults, caught in worldly (世俗的)expectations, hadn’t grasped. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 An elderly aunt broke into warm applause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 For the first time, Bella saw “Number 43” not as a shortcoming. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
