The books on this list are important introductions to world literature. The Seagull By Anton Chekhov Price:$40.4 The book is a scene-of-life read set in the Russian countryside at the end of the 19th century. All characters are dissatisfied with their lives. Some want love. Some want success.No one, however, ever seems to get happiness. Some people view The Seagull as a tragic (悲剧的) play about always unhappy people. Others see it as a humorous and bitter book,making fun of humans’ foolishness. Candide By Voltaire Price:$48.6 Voltaire offers his view of society in Candide. The book was published in 1759, and it is often considered the author’s most important work. A simple-minded young man, Candide is sure his world is the best of all worlds, but a trip around the world opens his eyes about what he believes to be true. Jane Eyre By Charlotte Bronte Price:$128.6 Charlotte Bronte’s heroine was one of the first in English literature to serve as first-person narrator(讲述者) of her own life story. Jane falls in love with a rich man, Rochester,but on her own terms, and only after he has proven himself worthy of her. The Bluest Eye By Toni Morrison Price:$28.6 It tells a story of Pecola Breedlove, a young African American girl who dreams of having blue eyes-a sign of acceptance in a world ruled by white conceptions of beauty. 1. What is special about The Seagull? A. People have different ideas about it. B. Characters in it are happy with their life. C. All characters make their dreams true finally. D. It tells the life in America at the end of the 19th century. 2. What changes Candide’s idea about a wonderful world? A. The bad luck he met in life. B. A book he read accidentally. C. A journey around the world. D. A dream he had at night. 3. Which would you choose if you want to read a girl dreaming of becoming beautiful? A. The Seagull. B. Candide. C. Jane Eyre. D. The Bluest Eye. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了适合高三学生阅读的四本书。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Seagull 部分的“Some people view The Seagull as a tragic play about always unhappy people. Others see it as a humorous and bitter book, making fun of humans’ foolishness.”（有些人认为《海鸥》是一部关于不幸的人的悲剧。其他人则认为这是一本幽默而苦涩的书，嘲笑人类的愚蠢。）可知，有人把这本书看成是不幸的人的悲剧，有人把它看成是对人类愚蠢的嘲弄。由此可知，《海鸥》的特别之处是人们对此有不同的看法。故选A项。 2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Candide部分的“A simple-minded young man, Candide is sure his world is the best of all worlds, but a trip around the world opens his eyes about what he believes to be true.”（Candide是一个头脑简单的年轻人，他坚信自己的世界是世界上最好的，但一次环球旅行让他看到了他所相信的真实。）可知，是一次环球旅行让Candide 改变了对对美好世界的看法。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Bluest Eye部分的“It tells a story of Pecola Breedlove, a young African American girl who dreams of having blue eyes-a sign of acceptance in a world ruled by white conceptions of beauty.”（它讲述了一个年轻的非裔美国女孩佩科拉·布里德洛夫的故事，她梦想拥有一双蓝眼睛——这是一个被白人美的观念所统治的世界所接受的标志。）可知，这是一本关于一个女孩想把眼睛变成白人认为的美丽的蓝眼睛的故事。由此可推知，如果你想读一个关于梦想变漂亮的女孩的故事，你会选择The Bluest Eye这本书。故选D项。 B My phone rang after I boarded a plane. It was my former PhD adviser calling to tell me that a preprint had just posted identified flaws (缺陷) in a paper we’d published in Nature. My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique (评论) were demanding a retraction (撤回). The plane soon took off. I spent the 16-hour flight processing a mix of emotions —disbelief, embarrassment, frustration—and wondering what this would mean for my career. After the plane landed, I took out my laptop and logged onto the airport WiFi so I could read the critique myself. It was harsh and thorough, pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data which we’d gathered from other studies. The fallout was swift and intense. I received a flood of emails and messages. Some were from supportive colleagues but many were harshly critical of our work. I felt deeply embarrassed by the criticism. We wrote a draft response, correcting the apparent errors in the data set and defending our methods. We decided against publishing our response, however, after receiving feedback from peer reviewers. When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable, I formally offered my resignation (辞职) to my department head. He didn’t accept it, saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes. The experience helped me grow as a scientist. I learned that it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions. In the end, the reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process—and one that shouldn’t be viewed only through a negative lens. Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve. Honest mistakes happen, and researchers should be encouraged, not punished, for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work. 4. What news did the author get after boarding the plane? A. His research paper would be published soon. B. Some mistakes were found in his preprint. C. His paper was demanded to be retracted. D. His career might be influenced. 5. What does the underlined word “fallout” mean? A. Answer. B. Result. C. Failure. D. Rejection. 6. Why was the author’s resignation refused? A. He had a reputation for honesty. B. He made mistakes unintentionally. C. He corrected his mistakes in the paper. D. He had made contributions to the department. 7. What did the author learn from his experience? A. Retractions can be a chance to learn. B. Scientists ought to know everything. C. Honest mistakes are unavoidable in science. D. Admitting mistakes can be really embarrassing. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者因论文出现学术性错误而遭遇论文被要求撤回的事情。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句话“It was my former PhD adviser calling to tell me that a preprint had just posted identified flaws (缺陷) in a paper we’d published in Nature. My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique (评论) were demanding a retraction (撤回). (是我的前博士顾问打电话告诉我，一份预印本刚刚在我们发表在《自然》杂志上的一篇论文中发现了缺陷。当他告诉我这篇评论的作者要求撤回时，我的心一沉。)”可知，以前导师要求撤回他发表的那篇文章。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The fallout was swift and intense. I received a flood of emails and messages. Some were from supportive colleagues, but many were harshly critical of our work. I felt deeply embarrassed by the criticism.(其 fallout迅速而强烈。我收到了大量的电子邮件和信息。一些人来自支持我们的同事，但许多人对我们的工作持严厉批评态度。批评使我深感尴尬。)”可知, fallout代指后面对作者支持或批评的后果或者说成是结果。由此推断出“fallout”的意思为“result”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。通过第五段的第二句话“He didn’t accept it, saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.(他不接受，说考虑到论文中的错误是无心之过，不需要辞职。)”可知，部门领导不接受作者的辞职申请，因为他认为论文中的错误是无心之过。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。通过全文最后一段“In the end, the reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process—and one that shouldn’t be viewed only through a negative lens. Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve. Honest mistakes happen, and researchers should be encouraged, not punished, for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work.(最终，现实是，撤回是科学过程中必要的一部分，不应该只从负面的角度来看待。撤回也是一个学习和提高的机会。诚实的错误会发生，研究人员应该受到鼓励，而不是惩罚，因为他们做了正确的事情，收回了有缺陷的工作。)”可知，撤回也是一个学习和提高的机会。故选A项。 C It doesn’t seem logical that a five-foot, seven-inch young man from Argentina could somehow turn into the world’s best soccer player. A person diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency and without the economic resources to pay for the expensive treatment to treat that condition would also not be an ideal candidate to inherit the title of “World’s Best” from the likes of Diego Maradona, Ronaldo, or Pelé. But Lionel Messi defies (违抗) logic and has regularly done so since he joined his first soccer team when he was only four years old. Quite simply, there has never been a player like Messi who could continue, week in and week out, to defy the limits of the sport and continually surprise the entire sports world. Even athletes from other sports have expressed their disbelief at Messi’s exploits on the field. NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant has said that Messi is the “greatest athlete that I’ve ever seen”. When we watch Messi on the field, it is easy to assume that Messi is simply a genius to play soccer at levels never before seen. Carlos Tévez, Messi’s teammate on the Argentinean national team, says that “Messi is from another planet”. But is that where Lionel Messi’s talent comes from? Is he a sort of Superman with supernatural soccer abilities? Our journey into the life story of Lionel Messi will show that Messi’s rising to fame is the result of a life of struggle and sacrifice. We will see how an undersized boy from Argentina defied the odds and overcame numerous obstacles to become one of soccer’s most important players… of all time. Javier Mascherano, Messi’s current Barcelona and Argentina teammate, says that “although he may not be human, it’s good that Messi still thinks he is”. Lionel Messi’s modesty, shyness and quiet public behaviours spring from his own recognition of his humanity, characterized by a life of sacrifice. 8. What does the author think of Lionel Messi’s success? A. It’s reasonable. B. It’s unexpected. C. It comes too late. D. It comes naturally. 9. Which proverb best describes Lionel Messi’s success according to Paragraph 4? A. Hard work pays off. B. Interest is the best teacher. C. Confidence leads to victory. D. Fortune favours the prepared mind. 10. How does the author try to prove his point in the text? A. By listing some facts. B. By giving some examples. C. By borrowing some words. D. By making some comparisons. 11. What is the author’s tone like in the text? A. curious. B. doubtful C. admiring. D. surprising. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物评述。主要介绍梅西虽身患生长激素缺乏症，却凭借奋斗与牺牲打破常规，成为世界顶级足球运动员。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It doesn’t seem logical that a five-foot, seven-inch young man from Argentina could somehow turn into the world’s best soccer player. A person diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency and without the economic resources to pay for the expensive treatment to treat that condition would also not be an ideal candidate to inherit the title of “World’s Best” from the likes of Diego Maradona, Ronaldo, or Pelé. But Lionel Messi defies (违抗) logic (一个身高 5 英尺 7 英寸（约 1.7 米）的阿根廷年轻人，竟然能成为世界上最顶尖的足球运动员，这似乎不合常理。一个被诊断出患有生长激素缺乏症、又无力承担昂贵治疗费用的人，按理说也绝非继承迭戈・马拉多纳、罗纳尔多或贝利等传奇人物 “世界最佳” 头衔的理想人选。但利昂内尔・梅西却打破了这一切常规。)”可知，作者认为梅西的成功是出人意料的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Our journey into the life story of Lionel Messi will show that Messi’s rising to fame is the result of a life of struggle and sacrifice. We will see how an undersized boy from Argentina defied the odds and overcame numerous obstacles to become one of soccer’s most important players… of all time.(深入探寻利昂内尔・梅西的人生历程便会发现，他的成名源于一生的拼搏与奉献。我们将看到，这个来自阿根廷、身材瘦小的男孩如何逆势而上，跨越无数阻碍，最终成为足球史上最具影响力的球员之一。)”可知，梅西的成功源于不懈奋斗，“Hard work pays off（努力终有回报）”最能描述这一情况。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant has said that Messi is the “greatest athlete that I’ve ever seen”.(NBA 篮球巨星科比・布莱恩特曾评价梅西：“他是我见过最伟大的运动员。”)”；根据第三段“Carlos Tévez, Messi’s teammate on the Argentinean national team, says that “Messi is from another planet”.(阿根廷国家队梅西的队友卡洛斯・特维斯曾说：“梅西简直来自另一个星球。”)”及根据最后一段“Javier Mascherano, Messi’s current Barcelona and Argentina teammate, says that “although he may not be human, it’s good that Messi still thinks he is”.(哈维尔・马斯切拉诺 —— 梅西如今在巴塞罗那队和阿根廷国家队的双重队友 —— 曾这样评价：“虽说他（梅西）或许已不像凡人，但好在他自己仍觉得自己是个普通人。”)”可知，文中多次引用他人言论支撑观点，如科比·布莱恩特称梅西是“我见过的最伟大的运动员”、卡洛斯·特维斯说“梅西来自另一个星球”、哈维尔·马斯切拉诺的相关评价等。由此可知，作者通过引用他人的话来证明自己的观点。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者开篇强调梅西的成功 “不合常理”，突出其突破先天限制的不易；后文通过他人评价与事实，凸显梅西的天赋与奋斗精神，字里行间流露出对梅西的钦佩之情。因此作者的语气是赞赏的。故选C项。 D The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought incomparable convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their maximum potential. EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes. The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing these essential skills. While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology. 12. What do the underlined words “the depersonalization of instruction” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Tailored methods for individuals. B. Instructors’ dependence on Al. C. Insufficient resources of Al-driven tools. D. The one-size-fits-all approach. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. A possible solution. B. A further problem. C. A well-meant intention. D. A suggested application 14. In what aspect do students suffer most with AI-driven EdTech education? A. Thinking skills. B. Teamwork building. C. Interest development. D. Knowledge acquisition. 15. What is conveyed about Al-driven EdTech tools in the last paragraph? A. They should be used widely. B. Their benefits deserve our attention. C. Their resources need enriching. D. They should support instructor autonomy. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能与教育技术的融合为世界各地的课堂带来了无与伦比的便利和效率。然而，尽管取得了这些进步，但认识到这些人工智能驱动的工具对教师的自主性和专业判断构成的挑战至关重要。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their maximum potential. (每个学生都有自己独特的特点。教师拥有丰富的经验和知识，最适合为这些个人需求量身定制他们的方法。然而，人工智能驱动的工具限制了他们有效地做到这一点的能力，导致一刀切的方法无法激发学生发挥最大潜力)”可知，每个学生都有自己独特的特点，人工智能采用一刀切的方法无法激发学生发挥最大潜力。由此可知，划线词组the depersonalization of instruction (教学的去人格化)指的是The one-size-fits-all approach (一刀切的方法)。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes. (然而，一些学生利用这一特点作为一种手段，只是复制解决方案，而不理解概念。因此，在作业和考试中作弊的情况变得普遍。虽然这些工具提供了便利，但学生可能会在测试过程中使用外部资源或与他人合作，从而影响他们学习成果的诚实)”可知，第三段主要介绍了另一个问题。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. (通过减少教师作为有意义的教育互动促进者的角色，我们冒着阻碍学生批判性思维和解决问题技能发展的风险。教育不应该只关注知识的获取，还应该培养分析、评价和在现实环境中应用知识的能力。它应该帮助一个人的思维成长，而不仅仅是记忆信息)”可推知，在人工智能驱动的EdTech教育中，学生在思维能力方面受到的影响最大。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology. (虽然人工智能驱动的教育技术工具无可否认有其优点，但我们不能忽视保留教师自主权和教育经验的重要性。这些工具的设计不应仅仅依赖于预先打包的内容和标准化的解决方案，而应使教师能够在充分利用技术优势的同时适应和定制他们的方法)”可推知，人工智能驱动的教育技术工具应该支持教师的自主权。故选D。 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。 Rock music consists of many different styles.

I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 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。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西北师大附中 2025—2026学年第一学期期中考试试题 高三英语 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、准考证号填写在答题卡相应的位置上。 2. 本试卷满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。 3. 本试卷分为第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号框涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号框。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将答题卡交回，试卷自行保管。 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，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.

The books on this list are important introductions to world literature. The Seagull By Anton Chekhov Price:$40.4 The book is a scene-of-life read set in the Russian countryside at the end of the 19th century. All characters are dissatisfied with their lives. Some want love. Some want success.No one, however, ever seems to get happiness. Some people view The Seagull as a tragic (悲剧的) play about always unhappy people. Others see it as a humorous and bitter book,making fun of humans’ foolishness. Candide By Voltaire Price:$48.6 Voltaire offers his view of society in Candide. The book was published in 1759, and it is often considered the author’s most important work. A simple-minded young man, Candide is sure his world is the best of all worlds, but a trip around the world opens his eyes about what he believes to be true. Jane Eyre By Charlotte Bronte Price:$128.6 Charlotte Bronte’s heroine was one of the first in English literature to serve as first-person narrator(讲述者) of her own life story. Jane falls in love with a rich man, Rochester,but on her own terms, and only after he has proven himself worthy of her. The Bluest Eye By Toni Morrison Price:$28.6 It tells a story of Pecola Breedlove, a young African American girl who dreams of having blue eyes-a sign of acceptance in a world ruled by white conceptions of beauty. 1. What is special about The Seagull? A. People have different ideas about it. B. Characters in it are happy with their life. C. All characters make their dreams true finally. D. It tells the life in America at the end of the 19th century. 2. What changes Candide’s idea about a wonderful world? A. The bad luck he met in life. B. A book he read accidentally. C. A journey around the world. D. A dream he had at night. 3. Which would you choose if you want to read a girl dreaming of becoming beautiful? A. The Seagull. B. Candide. C. Jane Eyre. D. The Bluest Eye. B My phone rang after I boarded a plane. It was my former PhD adviser calling to tell me that a preprint had just posted identified flaws (缺陷) in a paper we’d published in Nature. My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique (评论) were demanding a retraction (撤回). The plane soon took off. I spent the 16-hour flight processing a mix of emotions —disbelief, embarrassment, frustration—and wondering what this would mean for my career. After the plane landed, I took out my laptop and logged onto the airport WiFi so I could read the critique myself. It was harsh and thorough, pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data which we’d gathered from other studies. The fallout was swift and intense. I received a flood of emails and messages. Some were from supportive colleagues, but many were harshly critical of our work. I felt deeply embarrassed by the criticism. We wrote a draft response correcting the apparent errors in the data set and defending our methods. We decided against publishing our response, however, after receiving feedback from peer reviewers. When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable, I formally offered my resignation (辞职) to my department head. He didn’t accept it, saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes. The experience helped me grow as a scientist. I learned that it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions. In the end, the reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process—and one that shouldn’t be viewed only through a negative lens. Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve. Honest mistakes happen, and researchers should be encouraged, not punished, for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work. 4. What news did the author get after boarding the plane? A. His research paper would be published soon. B. Some mistakes were found in his preprint. C. His paper was demanded to be retracted. D. His career might be influenced. 5. What does the underlined word “fallout” mean? A. Answer. B. Result. C. Failure. D. Rejection. 6. Why was the author’s resignation refused? A. He had a reputation for honesty. B. He made mistakes unintentionally. C. He corrected his mistakes in the paper. D. He had made contributions to the department. 7. What did the author learn from his experience? A. Retractions can be a chance to learn. B. Scientists ought to know everything. C. Honest mistakes are unavoidable in science. D. Admitting mistakes can be really embarrassing. C It doesn’t seem logical that a five-foot, seven-inch young man from Argentina could somehow turn into the world’s best soccer player. A person diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency and without the economic resources to pay for the expensive treatment to treat that condition would also not be an ideal candidate to inherit the title of “World’s Best” from the likes of Diego Maradona, Ronaldo, or Pelé. But Lionel Messi defies (违抗) logic and has regularly done so since he joined his first soccer team when he was only four years old. Quite simply, there has never been a player like Messi who could continue, week in and week out, to defy the limits of the sport and continually surprise the entire sports world. Even athletes from other sports have expressed their disbelief at Messi’s exploits on the field. NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant has said that Messi is the “greatest athlete that I’ve ever seen”. When we watch Messi on the field it is easy to assume that Messi is simply a genius to play soccer at levels never before seen. Carlos Tévez, Messi’s teammate on the Argentinean national team, says that “Messi is from another planet”. But is that where Lionel Messi’s talent comes from? Is he a sort of Superman with supernatural soccer abilities? Our journey into the life story of Lionel Messi will show that Messi’s rising to fame is the result of a life of struggle and sacrifice. We will see how an undersized boy from Argentina defied the odds and overcame numerous obstacles to become one of soccer’s most important players… of all time. Javier Mascherano, Messi’s current Barcelona and Argentina teammate, says that “although he may not be human, it’s good that Messi still thinks he is”. Lionel Messi’s modesty, shyness and quiet public behaviours spring from his own recognition of his humanity, characterized by a life of sacrifice. 8. What does the author think of Lionel Messi’s success? A. It’s reasonable. B. It’s unexpected. C. It comes too late. D. It comes naturally. 9. Which proverb best describes Lionel Messi’s success according to Paragraph 4? A. Hard work pays off. B. Interest is the best teacher. C. Confidence leads to victory. D. Fortune favours the prepared mind. 10. How does the author try to prove his point in the text? A. By listing some facts. B. By giving some examples. C. By borrowing some words. D.

D The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought incomparable convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their maximum potential. EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes. The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing these essential skills. While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology. 12.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 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。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
