There will be the deafening beats of a festival drum performance by students from Chung Cheng High School, and the dramatic talent of a face-changing show. (周末的主要亮点之一是在史密斯街举行的精彩舞台表演。届时将有中正中学的学生带来震耳欲聋的节日鼓表演，以及精彩的变脸表演。)”可知，在史密斯街可以欣赏到学生们的表演。故选A。 【22题详解】推理判断题。根据Dragon Boat Rowing Race部分中“In this land-based race, participants compete on dragon-inspired rowing machines in one-minute rounds, with the highest number of strokes (划) winning a prize. (在这场陆地比赛中，参赛者使用以龙为灵感的划船机进行一分钟一轮的比赛，划船次数最多的人将赢得奖品。)”可知，速度在赢得龙舟划船比赛中起着关键作用。故选D。 【23题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Visitors can look through a thoughtfully chosen collection of books on seasonal traditions, pen their thoughts or well-wishes in the Festival Reflections Journal, and explore symbolic items such as mugwort (艾蒿) bundles, festive bookmarks, and greeting cards.(游客可以浏览精心挑选的关于季节性传统的书籍，在节日反思日记中写下自己的想法或祝福，并探索艾蒿束、节日书签和贺卡等象征性物品。)”可知，参与者可以在艺术角通过写作给予祝福。故选C。 B【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“离线俱乐部”这一促进无手机聚会的运动及其影响。 【24题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The Offline Club, a rapidly expanding movement that promotes phone-free gatherings, is offering digital-free spaces where real-world connection replaces virtual engagement — and it’s catching on fast.(“离线俱乐部”是一场迅速扩大的运动，它提倡无手机聚会，提供无数字空间，用现实世界的联系取代虚拟互动——而且这种运动正在迅速流行起来。)”可知，本段主要描述了一种新的社交趋势，即“离线俱乐部”的兴起。故选A。 【25题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“From softly lit churches in London to comfortable bicycle cafés in Buffalo, the venues are as thoughtfully curated as the conversations they inspire.(从伦敦灯光柔和的教堂到布法罗舒适的自行车咖啡馆，这些场所都像它们所激发的对话一样，经过了精心curated。)”可知，这些场所都经过了精心的组织和安排，与它们所激发的对话相得益彰，故curated意为“组织，安排”。A. Avoided避免；B. Replaced替代；C. Organized组织；D. Measured测量。故选C。 【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“For 20-year-old Jayren Malijan, who attended a session in West Hampstead, London, the experience was about more than just disconnecting — it was about rediscovering human connection. “I came to make new friends,” he shared.(对于20岁的Jayren Malijan来说，他在伦敦西汉普斯特德参加了一次活动，这次经历不仅仅是关于断开连接——而是关于重新发现人与人之间的联系。“我是来交新朋友的，”他分享道。)”可知，根据Malijan的说法，“离线俱乐部”的一个功能是扩大社交圈。故选D。 【27题详解】主旨大意题。选A 关键理由： 核心干扰集中在 A、B 两个含 “The Offline Club” 的选项，干扰点在于 “核心信息的优先级”—— 文章主线是 “规则 + 核心目的”，而非 “附加效果 + 延伸意义”。 排除分析： B 中 “Digital Detox”（数字排毒）是俱乐部的间接效果，“Friendship”（友谊）是真实社交的可能结果，但二者均非文章强调的核心逻辑；文章反复突出 “用真实互动替代虚拟连接”，B 未体现这一核心关联； C 侧重 “无手机聚会的兴起”，未锁定核心主体 “The Offline Club”，属于 “泛化趋势” 类干扰； D 将 “真实连接” 定为核心，脱离了文章围绕 “The Offline Club” 展开的主线，属于 “偷换主体” 类干扰； A 的 “Trading Phones for Real Connections” 直接对应俱乐部 “门口寄存电子设备”（Trading Phones）和 “促进真实世界连接”（for Real Connections）的核心规则与使命，完全贴合全文贯穿的主线，信息无偏差、无遗漏。 C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了老年人语言功能变化与大脑健康之间的关系，指出说话速度比找词困难更能准确反映老年人的大脑健康状况，并提出了后续研究的方向。 【28题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Can you pass me the whatchamacallit? It’s right over there next to the thingamajig. Many of us encounter the “tip-of-the-tongue” phenomenon or word-finding difficulties in our daily lives.(你能把那个什么玩意儿递给我吗？就在那个什么玩意儿旁边。我们很多人在日常生活中都会遇到“tip-of-the-tongue”现象或找词困难)”描述了人们在日常生活中暂时想不起熟悉词语的现象，由此可知“tip-of-the-tongue”指的是“暂时无法回忆起熟悉的单词”。故选B项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“It is found that age-related decline in decision-making abilities was closely linked to a slower speaking pace, suggesting a broader decline than just difficulty in finding the right word.(研究发现，与年龄相关的决策能力下降与说话速度减慢密切相关，这表明不仅仅是找词困难，而是更广泛的衰退)”可知，说话速度的减慢表明大脑功能出现了更广泛的衰退，而不仅仅是找词困难。故选A项。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, a recent study from the University of Toronto suggests that it’s the speed of speech, rather than the difficulty in finding words that is a more accurate indicator of brain health in older adults.(然而，多伦多大学最近的一项研究表明，对老年人大脑健康而言，说话速度而非找词困难是一个更准确的指标)”以及第四段中“Notably, this highlights the potential of speech rate changes as a significant yet subtle marker of cognitive (认知的) health that could aid in identifying people at risk before more severe symptoms become apparent.(值得注意的是，这凸显了语速变化作为认知健康的一个显著而微妙的标志的潜力，它可以在更严重的症状出现之前帮助识别有风险的人)”可知，这项研究提出了新的指标来监测大脑健康。故选D项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While this study lays valuable groundwork for future research, its reliance on picture-based word tasks falls short of grasping the essence of real — world language use. As such, a target for subsequent studies should be integrating more naturalistic language patterns to gain deeper insights into cognitive health.(虽然这项研究为未来的研究奠定了宝贵的基础，但它对基于图片的词汇任务的依赖未能把握现实世界语言使用的本质。因此，后续研究的目标应该是整合更多的自然语言模式，以更深入地了解认知健康)”可知，后续研究将侧重于探索日常语言样本，以更深入地了解认知健康。故选B项。 D【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了近年来，科学家想出了几种不同的方法来制作人工智能虚假视频，这些视频通常被称为“换脸”，许多人非常担心这种技术可能会被滥用。 【32题详解】推理判断题。由第二段中的“At first, creating deepfakes was complex. It required special knowledge, hundreds of pictures of the person who was being faked, and lots of time. Now it's much simpler. There are websites and apps that allow almost anyone to create deepfakes. An app recently came out which allowed users to put their faces into famous movie scenes. The process lakes about eight seconds, requires one picture, and can be done on a mobile phone.”（起初，换脸很复杂。它需要特殊的知识，数百张被伪造者的照片，以及大量的时间。现在简单多了。有网站和应用程序，几乎任何人都可以换脸。最近有一款应用程序问世，用户可以将自己的脸放到著名的电影场景中。这个过程大约需要8秒钟，需要一张图片，而且可以在手机上完成）可知，刚开始的时候，换脸很复杂，要花大量的时间，但最近推出了一款应用程序，只需要8秒，用一张照片，就可以在手机上完成换脸，由这些可知，换脸发展非常迅速。故选B项。 【33题详解】主旨大意题。由第三段“It's one thing to swap the faces of famous actors. But what happens if someone puts out a fake video of a politician, for example, making it look like they broke the law? There's also the problem of the time it takes to figure out that something is fake. Even if a video is proven to be fake, it could be too late. Millions of people might have already seen and believed it. On the other hand, what happens if a video is actually real, but people don't trust it because they're told it's a deepfake?”（交换著名演员的面孔是一回事。但是，如果有人拿出一个政客的假视频，比如说，让它看起来像他们触犯了法律，会发生什么呢？还有一个问题，就是要花多少时间才能弄清楚什么东西是假的。即使一段视频被证明是假的，也可能为时已晚。数百万人可能已经看到并相信了它。另一方面，如果一个视频是真的，但是人们不相信它，因为他们被告知它是假的，会发生什么？）可知，第三段主要谈了换脸会带来的问题、引发的焦虑。故选A项。 【34题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Experts are working hard to create new AI tools that can identify faked videos. Many people are confident that people can defeat deepfakes soon. However, personally, it is very challenging because this technology has always fallen behind the deepfakes.”（专家们正在努力创造新的人工智能工具来识别伪造的视频。许多人相信人们很快就能打败换脸。然而，就个人而言，这是非常具有挑战性的，因为这项技术一直落后于换脸）可知，作者认为识别伪造的人工智能工具这项技术一直落后于换脸，所以打败换脸非常具有挑战性，由此可知，作者对开发一种新的人工智能系统来识别换脸持悲观的态度。故选D项。 【35题详解】推理判断题。第一段引出“换脸”话题，第二段讲“换脸发展非常迅速”，第三段讲“换脸会带来的问题、引发的焦虑”，最后一段讲“作者对开发一种新的人工智能系统来识别换脸持不确定的态度”，全文介绍的是人们利用人工智能进行换脸，几乎达到以假乱真的地步，由此推知，本文的目的是介绍一种技术时尚——换脸技术，故选C项。 七选五【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出爬树这一曾经的童年活动正在消失，分析了其消失的原因，并通过数据和研究论证爬树的安全性及对孩子身心的积极益处。 【36题详解】根据上文“We might want to blame it on the fact that childhood has headed indoors or on parents’ and teachers’ safety concerns. (我们可能会将其归咎于孩子们的童年活动转向室内，或是家长和老师对安全的担忧)”以及下文“One-quarter of kids have never climbed a tree. Many schools ban the activity, fearful of the risk of injury to children. Many parks, gardens, zoos, communities and institutions will hand you a fine if you’re caught climbing a tree. (四分之一的孩子从未爬过树。许多学校禁止这项活动，担心孩子会受伤。如果你爬树被发现，许多公园、花园、动物园、社区和机构都会对你处以罚款)”可知，前文提出爬树活动消失的可能原因，下文用具体数据和现象说明爬树活动的现状，空格处需衔接上下文，点明“孩子不再爬树”这一事实。C选项“The truth is that kids just don’t climb trees anymore. (事实是孩子们已经不再爬树了)”点明现状，承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。 【37题详解】根据上文“Why should we care about tree climbing? Isn’t it, after all, a risky activity that will end up with a visit to the ER or worse? (我们为什么要关心爬树呢？说到底，它不就是一项有风险的活动，最终可能会让孩子去急诊室，甚至更糟吗？)”以及下文“In 2016, researchers from the University of Phoenix surveyed 1,600 parents who let their children climb trees. Of the participants that responded to the survey question, 94.84% reported that their child scraped (擦伤) a knee, elbow, or skin as a result of climbing a tree, and less than 2% reported a broken bone. (2016年，凤凰城大学的研究人员调查了1600名允许孩子爬树的家长。在回答该调查问题的参与者中，94.84%的人表示他们的孩子因爬树擦伤了膝盖、肘部或皮肤，只有不到2%的人表示孩子骨折)”可知，前文质疑爬树的安全性，下文用数据证明爬树风险较低，空格处需转折，引出数据所反映的真实情况。B选项“Actually, the statistics tell a different story. (事实上，数据反映的情况并非如此)”中的“statistics”呼应下文的调查数据，“different story”转折前文的质疑，符合语境。故选B项。 【38题详解】根据下文“but he/she can just as easily fall off the playground monkey bars, a bunk bed, or a bike—all of which are statistically more dangerous to your child than a tree. (但孩子同样容易从操场的攀爬架、双层床或自行车上摔下来——从数据上看，这些都比爬树对孩子更危险)”可知，下文用“but”表示转折，强调其他活动比爬树更危险，空格处需先承认爬树可能存在的风险。A选项“Your child could suffer a physical injury. (你的孩子可能会受到身体伤害)”点明爬树可能导致受伤，与下文形成转折，符合语境。故选A项。 【39题详解】根据下文“The same University of Phoenix researchers found that parents of tree-climbing kids felt that climbing trees encouraged adventure, creativity, and inspiration in their kids. These parents reported that tree climbing improved their child’s problem-solving skills and a sense of self-efficacy (自我效能) and risk negotiation. And they cited many physical benefits, such as increased strength, flexibility, and better spatial awareness. (凤凰城大学的同一批研究人员发现，允许孩子爬树的家长认为，爬树能激发孩子的冒险精神、创造力和灵感。这些家长表示，爬树提高了孩子的解决问题能力、自我效能感和风险应对能力。他们还提到了许多身体上的益处，比如增强力量、灵活性和更好的空间感知能力)”可知，下文从心理和身体两方面阐述爬树对孩子的益处，空格处需总领该段内容。E选项“Climbing trees is great for your kid physically and emotionally. (爬树对孩子的身体和心理都有好处)”中的“physically and emotionally”分别对应下文的“physical benefits”和心理层面的积极影响，符合语境。故选E项。 【40题详解】根据上文“One survey respondent wrote that tree climbing teaches her son to trust and believe in his whole body’s abilities. (一位调查受访者写道，爬树教会她的儿子信任并相信自己全身的能力)”以及下文“such as building confidence, helping each other, perseverance, freedom, sharing, peace, empowering, social activity and self-awareness, etc. (例如建立自信、互相帮助、坚持不懈、自由、分享、平和、增强能力、社交活动和自我认知等)”可知，上文提到爬树对孩子心理的积极影响，下文列举的均为情感和心理层面的益处，空格处需衔接说明家长允许孩子爬树也出于情感层面的考虑。D选项“Parents also allow tree climbing for emotional benefits. (家长允许孩子爬树也有情感方面的考量)”与前文是并列关系，such as后的内容是对emotional benefits作详细的说明，符合语境。故选D项。 完形填空【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述的是作者朋友凭借不断犯错积累经验、坚持高标准，从而拥有精彩人生并成功的道理。 【41题详解】句意：他在地理位置上很独立，可以去任何他想去的地方旅行，并且拥有一份别人只能梦想的职业。A. opinion观点；B. family家庭；C. information信息；D. location位置。根据后文“travelling wherever he wants”可知，能去任何地方旅行，体现的是地理位置上的独立。故选D项。 【42题详解】句意：他在地理位置上很独立，可以去任何他想去的地方旅行，并且拥有一份别人只能梦想的职业。A. rank等级；B. career职业；C. holiday假期；D. benefit好处。根据后文“When he was setting up his online business”可知，此处提到他做线上生意，可知此处指的是职业。故选B项。 【43题详解】句意：那时，我总以为他在使用某种魔法让这一切奏效，因为我无法相信他所经历的成功。A. work起作用，奏效；B. grow成长；C. change改变；D. appear出现。根据前文“using some kind of magic”可知，作者觉得朋友像用魔法让生活和事业顺利进行，“make it work”意为“让……奏效”。故选A项。 【44题详解】句意：那时，我总以为他在使用某种魔法让这一切奏效，因为我无法相信他所经历的成功。A. pain痛苦；B. success成功；C. emotion情绪；D. struggle挣扎。根据前文“I have a friend who’s got an incredible life.

They came into the living room carrying an old, dusty box. With a mysterious smile, they placed it on the table. As they opened it, we gasped in amazement. Inside were old, faded photographs of our grandparents from their younger days. There were pictures of them in the kitchen, preparing those very recipes we held so dear. Along with the photos were letters they had written to each other, sharing their hopes and dreams for the family. It was like a time-capsule, filled with the essence of our family’s history. With the letters and photos in the old box, we finished our cookbook. We carefully inserted the pictures next to the relevant recipes, and added snippets from the letters to make the stories even more vivid. The cookbook was no longer just a collection of recipes; it was a living testament to our family’s love, resilience, and shared experiences. Each page was filled with memories, and as we flipped through it, we could almost taste the flavors and hear the laughter from all those past celebrations. This family cookbook became a precious heirloom, a way to ensure our traditions would be passed down for generations to come. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家人共同制作收录食谱与背后故事的家庭烹饪书、以及意外发现祖辈旧物的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，在一个雪下得格外大的夜晚，祖父母给了我们一个惊喜。”以及第二段首句内容“有了旧盒子里的书信与照片，我们的家庭食谱终于完工。”可知，第一段可描写祖父母带来一个旧盒子，盒子里有旧照片和一些书信。 ②由第二段首句内容“有了旧盒子里的书信与照片，我们的家庭食谱终于完工。”可知，第二段可描写这本家庭食谱成了作者一家的传家宝，使家庭传统能代代相传。 2.续写线索：一个下雪的夜晚，祖父母给作者带来了惊喜——他们带来了一个旧盒子，盒子里有他们年轻时在厨房忙碌的照片还有他们之间的书信——盒子里装满了家族历史的精髓——有了旧盒子里的书信和照片，作者的家庭食谱终于完工——这本食谱不仅有配方，还有家庭的回忆——它成了家庭的传家宝，确保了家庭传统能代代相传 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/put ②充满了：be filled with/be full of ③确保：ensure/make sure 情绪类 ①惊讶：amazement/surprise ②珍贵的：precious/valuable 【点睛】【高分句型1】As they opened it, we gasped in amazement.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Along with the photos were letters they had written to each other, sharing their hopes and dreams for the family.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句，现在分词短语作状语） 录音稿 1. M: I happened to meet your sister Lucy in the supermarket. She didn’t recognize me at first. W: It’s not surprising you put on too much weight recently. It’s time for you to do something. 2. M: Our new flat is quiet and clean. You know I can’t stand loud noise. W: Yeah, and I’m glad that we found a bigger flat in this building. 3. W: Do you know tomorrow’s weather Mike? M: They said the snow would stop but it would be windy. 4. W: This is an interesting report. Want to read it? M: Not really. I want to read the sports section and look over the advertisements first. 5. M: I had a bad day yesterday. I had been delivering mail until seven in the evening and was bitten by the dog of the last house. W: Oh dear, bad luck. Did you go to see the doctor right away? Are you OK now? 6. W: Hello! M: Hi, Jane. I’m glad to tell you we’ve got the plane ticket for you. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I couldn’t get through to you. W: Thanks a lot. It’s nice of you to call. Now my journey to Shanghai won’t be delayed. M: I wish you a good journey. W: Thank you very much. Bye! M: Bye bye. 7. M: Where are we holding the conference this year? W: How about that new hotel in town? M: It’s beyond our budget. Somewhere like the conference center is more suitable. But it’s fully booked I thought. W: Everyone complained about the trade club last year because its basic equipment was so poor. M: Well, maybe we should spend more money on the meeting place this year. Let’s go with your idea. 8. W: Hi, Jack, what a busy Monday! You are spending a lot of time in the library today. What’s up? Are you becoming a hard-working boy? M: Hi, Cindy, you’re joking. I’m thinking about my article for our school magazine. I have to finish it the day after tomorrow. The title is my favorite book, but I can’t decide what to write about. W: Well, what’s your favorite book then? M: It’s hard to say. In fact, I don’t really enjoy reading. W: I see. Can you write about something else, a film or a play, for example? M: I don’t think so. I promised Betty to write about a book. W: I’m sure Betty will be pleased if you write an article, even if it’s not about a book. M: I think you have got it right. I’ll write about my favorite film instead. Thanks, Cindy. W: You’re welcome. 9.W: Excuse me, I’m from the USA Today. We’re making a survey on teenagers’ pocket money. Would you like to answer some questions? M: Sure. My pleasure. W: Well, to begin with, do you mind telling us how much pocket money you get from your parents every month? M: OK, I get about fifty dollars from my parents every month. W: Do you get pocket money in other ways? M: Yes, I do house work for my uncle three hours a week to make a little. I work as a babysitter for my neighbour every Friday evening. They pay me twelve dollars fifty an hour and I’m good at the computer. So sometimes I also help people repair their computers. W: Wow, you have pretty good sources of money. Then how do you usually spend your pocket money? M: Well, I use most of the money in the bookstore. I pay my phone bill every month and I have to buy food every day. W: What a nice young man! Thank you for talking with the USA Today. 10.Hello, this is Grace Rice reporting for TBC news in snowstorm conditions in the freezing state of Alaska. I’ve just arrived here in Barrow, Alaska to bring you a special report. A huge piece of rock from outer space hit this area only 12 hours ago. The exact location is unknown, but right now the best guess is about 20 kilometers south of Barrow. Some people said they saw a bright light moving through the sky with a loud, deep sound moments before it landed. It’s unknown whether there are any deaths, but it is unlikely that this area doesn’t have a large population. Such events were common during the formation of our Solar System. Many people believe that a rock from outer space that crashed into earth 65 million years ago led to the mass extinction of many animal species, including the dinosaurs, as well as most plants. OK, we’ll keep you up to date on any development here. This is Grace Rice reporting from Alaska. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 黄冈中学2026届高三英语实验班期中模拟考(20251114) 命题教师：周伟 余亮 审题教师：杜卿华 邓静蓉 考试时间：2025年11月14日19:00-21:00 试卷满分：150分 温馨提示 书写规范要求: 1. 文章两侧对齐，不要留白。如遇单词过长，可按音节分行，连字符打在上一行（下一行不打）； 2. 标点符号书写规范。标点符号紧挨单词，中间不能空格。英语中句号为小圆点，文中禁止随意打点； 3. 字体大小、字母间距、单词间距、倾斜度一致； 4. 在答题卡的横线（横线相当于四线三格的第三条线）上进行书写，压线书写的为合格，没有压线的为不合格； 5. 不能涂改（涂改部分统一打小括号，小括号不超过3个），禁止使用修正带，改正液。 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.

B In a world where constant information and screen time dominate daily life, a growing number of young adults are choosing something extreme: unplugging. The Offline Club, a rapidly expanding movement that promotes phone-free gatherings, is offering digital-free spaces where real-world connection replaces virtual engagement — and it’s catching on（流行）fast. Launched by three Dutch founders, the club started as a small initiative in the Netherlands and has now spread to major cities including London, Paris, Milan, Copenhagen, Berlin, and most recently, Buffalo, New York. Their mission is simple: “Exchange screen time for real time.” The concept? Phones and laptops are checked at the door, and attendees spend a few hours reading, meditating (冥想), coloring, playing board games, or simply talking — without the digital noise. From softly lit churches in London to comfortable bicycle cafés in Buffalo, the venues（场合）are as thoughtfully curated as the conversations they inspire. For 20-year-old Jayren Malijan, who attended a session in West Hampstead, London, the experience was about more than just disconnecting — it was about rediscovering human connection. “I came to make new friends,” he shared. “People complain that they’re lonely, but they’re not willing to go out and make an effort.” Malijan, who typically spends time online recommending perfumes on “fragrancetok（香水抖音）”, believes the overuse of smartphones is contributing to increased introversion (内向) and weakened social skills, especially among the younger generation. This feeling is shared by many. According to a 2024 survey by the British Standards Institution, nearly 70% of people aged 16 - 21 reported feeling worse after spending time on social media, and nearly half said they wished they had grown up in a pre-Internet era. At Offline Club events, the contrast is striking. People who usually average over 10 hours of daily screen time — like YouTuber Taz Alam — speak of relief, not anxiety, when parted from their phones. “Everyone here is so lovely,” Alam said. “You can just go up to someone you don’t know and start a conversation. It feels so easy and natural.” 24. What does the second paragraph mainly describe? A. A new social trend. B. A charity organization. C. An advanced technique. D. An awareness campaign. 25. What does the word “curated” underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A. Avoided. B. Replaced. C. Organized. D. Measured. 26. What’s one function of the Offline Club according to Malijan? A. Resolving conflicts. B. Meeting old friends. C. Promoting business sales. D. Expanding the social circle. 27.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Offline Club: Trading Phones for Real Connections B. The Offline Club: A Place for Digital Detox（排毒) and Friendship C. Escape Screen Time: The Rise of Phone-Free Gatherings D. Real Connections: The Key to Beating Youth Loneliness C Can you pass me the whatchamacallit? It’s right over there next to the thingamajig. Many of us encounter the “tip-of-the-tongue” phenomenon or word-finding difficulties in our daily lives. And it usually becomes more noticeable with age. Frequent difficulty finding the right word was often regarded as an early sign of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease. However, a recent study from the University of Toronto suggests that it’s the speed of speech, rather than the difficulty in finding words that is a more accurate indicator (指标) of brain health in older adults. The researchers asked 125 healthy adults, aged 18 to 90, to describe a scene in detail. Recordings of these descriptions were subsequently analyzed by AI software to analyze features such as speed of talking, duration of pauses between words, and the variety of words used. Participants also completed a standard set of tests that measure concentration, thinking speed, and the ability to plan and carry out tasks. It is found that age-related decline in decision-making abilities was closely linked to a slower speaking pace, suggesting a broader decline than just difficulty in finding the right word. The study also employed a picture-naming task, where participants were shown pictures of everyday objects while being played a recording of a word, either a meaning-related one (making picture-naming harder) or a sound-similar one (making it somewhat easier). Interestingly, the study showed that older adults who spoke more slowly in general were also slower at naming these pictures. Notably, this highlights the potential of speech rate changes as a significant yet subtle(细微的) marker of cognitive (认知的) health that could aid in identifying people at risk before more severe symptoms become apparent. While this study lays valuable groundwork for future research, its reliance on picture-based word tasks falls short of grasping the essence of real-world language use. As such, a target for subsequent studies should be integrating more naturalistic language patterns to gain deeper insights into cognitive health. 28. What does the underlined part “tip-of-the-tongue” mean in the text? A. A common reason for slower speech rates. B. A temporary inability to recall familiar words. C. A medical term for elderly language disorders. D. A new method to recollect words from memory. 29. What does a slower speech pace suggest about brain function? A. It signals a general cognitive decline. B. It indicates specific word memory loss. C. It shows a slowdown in verbal fluency. D. It implies a lack of sustained concentration. 30. What is the significance of this research? A. Highlighting AI’s role in speech analysis. B. Enabling early cure for cognitive decline. C. Developing word association approaches. D. Proposing new signs to monitor brain health. 31. What will follow-up studies focus on? A. Improving picture-based word tasks. B. Exploring everyday speech samples. C. Studying word-finding difficulty patterns. D. Designing new cognitive assessment tools. D In recent years computer scientists have come up with several different ways of creating false videos of people using Artificial Intelligence (AI). These videos are usually called “deepfakes”. Some deepfakes work by putting the face of one person onto a different person in a video. Others work by taking an existing video of a person and changing it so that the person says or does something they didn’t say or do. At first, creating deepfakes was complex. It required special knowledge, hundreds of pictures of the person who was being faked, and lots of time. Now it’s much simpler. There are websites and apps that allow almost anyone to create deepfakes. An app recently came out which allowed users to put their faces into famous movie scenes. The process takes about eight seconds, requires one picture, and can be done on a mobile phone. One group of computer scientists created a program that allowed them to edit the words coming out of someone’s mouth in a video just like you might edit a document on the computer. It’s one thing to swap the faces of famous actors. But what happens if someone puts out a fake video of a politician, for example, making it look like they broke the law? There’s also the problem of the time it takes to figure out that something is fake. Even if a video is proven to be fake, it could be too late. Millions of people might have already seen and believed it. On the other hand, what happens if a video is actually real, but people don’t trust it because they’re told it’s a deepfake? Many deepfakes are so good that only another AI system can tell that they’re fake. Experts are working hard to create new AI tools that can identify faked videos. Many people are confident that people can defeat deepfakes soon. However, personally, it is very challenging because this technology has always fallen behind the deepfakes. 32. What can be learnt about deepfakes? A. They are all made by apps. B. They are improving rapidly. C. They are mainly used to joke. D. They’ll lose popularity soon. 33. What does paragraph 3 focus on about deepfakes? A. The anxieties raised by them. B. The effort required by them. C. The ways of making them. D. The doubts about them. 34. What is the author’s attitude to developing AI tools to recognize deepfakes? A. Optimistic. B. Supportive. C. Cautious . D. Pessimistic. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To recommend new AI tools. B. To explain the importance of AI C. To describe a technology trend. D. To stress technology revolutions. 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。 Tree climbing is dead. What was once a part of childhood is now disappearing. We might want to blame it on the fact that childhood has headed indoors or on parents’ and teachers’ safety concerns. 36 . One-quarter of kids have never climbed a tree. Many schools ban the activity, fearful of the risk of injury to children. Many parks, gardens, zoos, communities and institutions will hand you a fine if you’re caught climbing a tree. Why should we care about tree climbing? Isn’t it, after all, a risky activity that will end up with a visit to the ER (急救室) or worse? 37 In 2016, researchers from the University of Phoenix surveyed 1,600 parents who let their children climb trees. Of the participants that responded to the survey question, 94.84% reported that their child scraped (擦伤) a knee, elbow, or skin as a result of climbing a tree, and less than 2% reported a broken bone. 38 , but he/she can just as easily fall off the playground monkey bars, a bunk bed, or a bike — all of which are statistically more dangerous to your child than a tree. And here’s the best news. 39 . The same University of Phoenix researchers found that parents of tree-climbing kids felt that climbing trees encouraged adventure, creativity, and inspiration in their kids. These parents reported that tree climbing improved their child’s problem-solving skills and a sense of self-efficacy (自我效能) and risk negotiation. And they cited many physical benefits, such as increased strength, flexibility, and better spatial awareness. One survey respondent wrote that tree climbing teaches her son to trust and believe in his whole body’s abilities. 40 , such as building confidence, helping each other, perseverance, freedom, sharing, peace, empowering, social activity and self-awareness, etc. A. Your child could suffer a physical injury B. Actually, the statistics tell a different story C. The truth is that kids just don’t climb trees anymore D. Parents also allow tree climbing for emotional benefits E. Climbing trees is great for your kid physically and emotionally F. Climbing trees and falling out of them are both part of growing up G. They can make informed decisions about the risks that they take 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 have a friend who’s got an incredible life.

I remember the excitement every winter when my family would gather for our annual holiday celebrations. It was during those moments that I truly understood how food was more than nutrition; it carried the weight of our family story. One of my fondest memories is the storytelling sessions that took place at the dinner table following these meals. My grandparents recounted tales from their own childhoods, often filled with laughter and nostalgia (怀旧). These stories didn’t just entertain; they connected me to a heritage (传统) that seemed both ancient and ever-present. In those hours of sharing, I formed a deep appreciation for where I came from, as each story brought values and lessons that still guide my decisions and choices today. As I grew older, I began to take a more active role in these gatherings. I learned to recreate the family recipes, carefully memorizing each step just as my mother and grandmother had done before me. The kitchen, once a place of mystery and delicious foods, became my classroom. I discovered that each ingredient (配料) had a purpose, and each flavor had a memory. The cinnamon in the spiced tea reminded me of quiet afternoons with my grandfather, while the roasted lamb brought back images of my aunt singing softly as she prepared the marinade (卤汁). Cooking became a way for me to express love, gratitude and a deep sense of belonging. As the years passed, our family traditions continued, mixing the old with the new. One winter, my younger sister, Mia, proposed an idea: “Why don’t we create a family cookbook with all our recipes — and include the stories behind them?” Her enthusiasm spread quickly to everyone around her. We spent the entire holiday writing handwritten notes and sticking photos alongside each recipe. However, we didn’t have any photos of our grandparents. 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。 Then, during a particularly snowy evening, our grandparents surprised us. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the letters and photos in the old box, we finished our cookbook. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
