B At 20, I was a lifeguard and swimming teacher at the council pool in Cambridge. I told the club coach about my dream of swimming the Channel (英吉利海峡). She looked me over and said, “Find another dream.” Her words hurt me deeply. I wasn’t built for long-distance open-water swims. To swim distances, you need a degree of body fat density, buoyancy (浮力) and power. I had none of this. I realised the coach was probably right, and I let my dream fade away. But what I couldn’t have known was what would take its place, and how rewarding it would be. One day, I was asked to teach adults who wanted to learn swimming but had a terrible fear of water. My first students were between 23 and 79 years old. Flora, the oldest, had never had time to swim; others still held on to the pain from childhood accidents or moments of shame. It requires real courage to share those fears, and even more to undress and step into the pool. For this reason, there were no spectators. During those evening sessions, the pool was silent and still, and the building transformed into a peaceful temple. By week three, they were waist- deep in the shallow end, holding floats as they walked for 10 meters to the other side. The last one to leave was Raj, who was much bigger than me and was terrified of the exercise most. By the seventh week, he was swimming, grasping the float, kicking the water hard with his legs. I loved these sessions. Watching them overcome a deep-rooted fear was deeply pleasing. By summer, we moved to an outdoor pool surrounded by trees. The cold water shocked them, but soon they realised they were out of the indoor pool’s calm and safety. They were doing what they’d never imagined, and it was glorious. What it took my class to overcome something so challenging — the hard work and willpower — stayed with me for the rest of my life. None of them were ever going to swim the Channel, but of course, I never told them that. But it no longer mattered. I had discovered that helping someone cross their own private ocean of fear was a triumph far greater than any Channel swim. 41. Why did the author give up his dream of swimming the Channel? A. He failed to get professional guidance. B. He got injured in an open-water swim. C. He found a more rewarding alternative. D. He lacked the required physical qualities. 42. What did the author’s adult students have in common? A. They had a deep fear of water. B. They hated any form of exercise. C. They wanted to improve their health. D. They had never tried swimming before. 43. Which of the following best describes the students’ process of learning to swim? A. Smooth and efficient. B. Gradual and determined. C. Effortless and productive. D. Competitive and goal-driven. 44. What was the author’s primary gain from his teaching experience? A. A sense of pleasure and achievement. B. Courage to pursue his own dream. C. Deep friendship with his students. D. Better swimming teaching skills. 45. What message does the story convey? A. Physical limits define one’s potential. B. Helping others brings unexpected fulfillment. C. Professional advice should never be questioned. D. Childhood experiences determine future success. C It is widely known that long-term memory can be unreliable. But can we trust our immediate recall? You can misremember something just seconds after it happened, reframing events in your mind to better fit with your own preconceptions (预想) . Marte Otten at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and her colleagues wanted to figure out the relationship between previous expectations and short-term memories. The team conducted several experiments on more than 400 people that involved showing the participants random letters arranged in a circle on a computer screen. In the simplest form of this experiment, the participants were shown the letters for a quarter of a second before the screen went blank. After a gap of 3 seconds, a box appeared where one of the letters had been for half a second, followed by a different circle of letters for half a second. The participants were asked to recall which letter from the original circle had been in the position held by the box on the screen. Crucially, some of the letters were put upside down, which Otten calls “fake-letters”. The participants were clearly warned not to mistake them for real ones. This test was repeated. After recalling the letters, the participants were asked to rate their confidence in each answer. The team focused its analysis on the most confident participants, in order to remove random guesses. The researchers found that, when asked to recall the position of a fake-letter, the confident participants incorrectly gave the answer as its real letter 39 percent of the time, despite their high confidence in the answer. “People seem to be sensitive to this memory illusion where they already have a preset concept of what the world should look like. This effect appears to be due to a feature of our neural system that relies on generating predictions about the world. We expect to see normal letters when reading. These predictions are normally quite helpful and efficient in normal life and this is not something we have control over, ” says Otten. Several studies have previously shown that long-term memory is unreliable and affected by previous expectations. This new study shows that the same is true for short-term memories, suggesting that even the accounts of eyewitnesses immediately after an event may be unconsciously coloured by their expectations. 46. What did the participants see on the computer during the experiment? A. Random letters lined in a circle. B. Random letters hidden in a box. C. Random circles showed in a box. D. Random boxes arranged in a circle. 47. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To present the result of the experiment. C. To unfold the process of the experiment. D. To show the background of the research. 48. How did the researchers ensure the accuracy of the results? A. By showing participants’ letters after 3 seconds. B. By changing letters' positions from a different circle. C. By comparing the answers from different age groups. D. By analysing confidence ratings to identify reliable answers. 49. What does Otten's research reveal about our neural system? A It prioritises speed over accuracy in recall. B. It is highly adaptable to unexpected visual input. C. It actively anticipates what it expects to perceive. D. It struggles to process unfamiliar visual information. 50. What can be concluded from Otten’s study compared to previous research? A. Short-term memory is more reliable than long-term memory. B. Short-term memory can also be affected by preconceptions. C. Previous expectations have no influence on memory. D. Memory illusions are more common in adults. D The well-known saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention, ” expresses a belief widely held in our society. It suggests that pressing needs directly inspire creative solutions, and history does offer some support for this view. Eli Whitney’s 1794 cotton gin, for example, efficiently met the urgent need to clean cotton in the American South, seeming to confirm this principle perfectly. However, such straightforward examples can be misleading. They tempt us to assume that all major inventions were direct responses to obvious needs. In truth, the reverse is frequently the case: invention itself is the mother of necessity. The driving force behind most important breakthroughs has typically not been clear market demand, but rather human curiosity and a simple love of tinkering (摆弄，动手做) . More often than not, a new device is created first through experimental work; only afterward does its inventor begin searching for practical applications. Consumers, in turn, often only gradually come to realise they “need” the new technology long after its initial development. The history of the automobile provides a particularly illuminating case study. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866, it was notoriously clumsy, inefficient, and physically enormous. Decades later, when the first truck was developed, it entered a transportation landscape dominated by horse-drawn wagons and steam-powered railways. The general public showed little interest in this novel “horseless carriage” and remained largely content with existing options. It was not until World War I, when military strategists recognised the truck’s strategic advantages, that these vehicles became established as essential equipment, eventually replacing horse-drawn transport in industrialised nations. This pattern of innovation-before-demand persists because early prototypes are often too crude and impractical to be immediately useful. The first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as initially unpromising as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. This inherent uncertainty makes the inventor’s path particularly challenging, requiring extraordinary persistence to continue refining a device that shows no immediate market potential. Furthermore, even those rare inventions that are designed for specific needs often find their most important applications in completely unexpected areas. While James Watt originally developed his steam engine to pump water from mines, its true revolutionary impact emerged when it began powering cotton mills and later propelling trains and steamboats — applications far beyond its original purpose. Therefore, while pressing needs can occasionally inspire new solutions, the deeper engine of human creativity, driven primarily by curiosity and experimentation, more often serves as the true wellspring of invention. These curiosity-driven innovations ultimately create their own demand, progressively reshaping our world in ways no one could have initially predicted, and demonstrating how invention frequently precedes and creates necessity rather than merely responding to it. 51 Why does the writer mention Eli Whitney in Paragraph 1? A. To clarify a doubt. B. To illustrate a view. C. To introduce the topic. D. To evaluate a statement. 52. What is the author’s main argument? A. Necessity drives most innovations. B. Inventions often create new demands. C. Curiosity is secondary to market needs. D. Historical examples are always misleading. 53. What contributed to the popularity of motor vehicles? A. Creative designs. B. Powerful engines. C. Military demands. D. Public satisfaction. 54. What does Watt’s steam engine example illustrate? A. Original purposes are rarely met. B. Inventions always have multiple uses. C. Inventions may find unexpected applications. D. Engineering breakthroughs are crucial for progress. 55. What is the best title for this passage? A. Social Need: the Inner Drive for Invention B. Great Invention: the Force of Society’s Progress C. General Application: the Final Purpose of Invention D.

After my first three books were published, no one asked me to give a speech, which suited me perfectly — I had always been terrified of speaking in front of others. Then, just before the release of my fourth book, an invitation arrived for a literary festival. I assumed it would be a cozy on-stage interview, discussing my writing process. Though still uneasy, I agreed. The night before my session, an organiser walked me through the venue — a small tent set up in the town square. Another author was speaking, and I saw in horror that there was no interviewer, no table. Just one person standing alone, holding the attention of about eighty people. “How long does each talk last?” I managed to ask. “Around fifty minutes,” the organiser replied cheerfully. “We like to leave time for questions.” My mind switched into survival mode. In just a few hours, I’d be pushed out of a plane — it was time to build a parachute. Back in my hotel room, I pieced together a talk from old anecdotes, recent embarrassments, and excerpts from the book I was promoting. With my heart pounding like a trapped bird, I walked toward the tent, repeating my lines under my breath… and sent up a silent prayer that my voice wouldn’t fail me when the moment came. As I walked off the stage, the wave of nervous energy finally receding, I realised I had survived. My final conclusion: it had gone… okay. There were moments of laughter, moments of awkward silence. But the tent didn’t collapse, and I didn’t run offstage. There’s no secret to overcoming the fear of public speaking. You just have to do it — accept that you won’t be great at first, and trust that you’ll improve. After that festival, I had a basic speech structure, which I refined over time. The dread I once felt slowly transformed into a nervous energy that felt almost like excitement. Now, given the choice between a moderated interview and speaking solo for fifty minutes, I’d choose the latter. That way, I’m in control — not just of the words, but of the rhythm, the pauses, the connection. And that kind of control is a kind of freedom. 56.

I told the club coach about my dream of swimming the Channel (英吉利海峡). She looked me over and said, “Find another dream.” Her words hurt me deeply. I wasn’t built for long-distance open-water swims. To swim distances, you need a degree of body fat density, buoyancy (浮力) and power. I had none of this. I realised the coach was probably right, and I let my dream fade away. But what I couldn’t have known was what would take its place, and how rewarding it would be. One day, I was asked to teach adults who wanted to learn swimming but had a terrible fear of water. My first students were between 23 and 79 years old. Flora, the oldest, had never had time to swim; others still held on to the pain from childhood accidents or moments of shame. It requires real courage to share those fears, and even more to undress and step into the pool. For this reason, there were no spectators. During those evening sessions, the pool was silent and still, and the building transformed into a peaceful temple. By week three, they were waist- deep in the shallow end, holding floats as they walked for 10 meters to the other side. The last one to leave was Raj, who was much bigger than me and was terrified of the exercise most. By the seventh week, he was swimming, grasping the float, kicking the water hard with his legs. I loved these sessions. Watching them overcome a deep-rooted fear was deeply pleasing. By summer, we moved to an outdoor pool surrounded by trees. The cold water shocked them, but soon they realised they were out of the indoor pool’s calm and safety. They were doing what they’d never imagined, and it was glorious. What it took my class to overcome something so challenging — the hard work and willpower — stayed with me for the rest of my life. None of them were ever going to swim the Channel, but of course, I never told them that. But it no longer mattered. I had discovered that helping someone cross their own private ocean of fear was a triumph far greater than any Channel swim. 41. Why did the author give up his dream of swimming the Channel? A. He failed to get professional guidance. B. He got injured in an open-water swim. C. He found a more rewarding alternative. D. He lacked the required physical qualities. 42. What did the author’s adult students have in common? A. They had a deep fear of water. B. They hated any form of exercise. C. They wanted to improve their health. D. They had never tried swimming before. 43. Which of the following best describes the students’ process of learning to swim? A. Smooth and efficient. B. Gradual and determined. C. Effortless and productive. D. Competitive and goal-driven. 44. What was the author’s primary gain from his teaching experience? A. A sense of pleasure and achievement. B. Courage to pursue his own dream. C. Deep friendship with his students. D. Better swimming teaching skills. 45. What message does the story convey? A. Physical limits define one’s potential. B. Helping others brings unexpected fulfillment. C. Professional advice should never be questioned. D. Childhood experiences determine future success. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. B 44. A 45.

But can we trust our immediate recall? You can misremember something just seconds after it happened, reframing events in your mind to better fit with your own preconceptions (预想) . Marte Otten at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and her colleagues wanted to figure out the relationship between previous expectations and short-term memories. The team conducted several experiments on more than 400 people that involved showing the participants random letters arranged in a circle on a computer screen. In the simplest form of this experiment, the participants were shown the letters for a quarter of a second before the screen went blank. After a gap of 3 seconds, a box appeared where one of the letters had been for half a second, followed by a different circle of letters for half a second. The participants were asked to recall which letter from the original circle had been in the position held by the box on the screen. Crucially, some of the letters were put upside down, which Otten calls “fake-letters”. The participants were clearly warned not to mistake them for real ones. This test was repeated. After recalling the letters, the participants were asked to rate their confidence in each answer. The team focused its analysis on the most confident participants, in order to remove random guesses. The researchers found that, when asked to recall the position of a fake-letter, the confident participants incorrectly gave the answer as its real letter 39 percent of the time, despite their high confidence in the answer. “People seem to be sensitive to this memory illusion where they already have a preset concept of what the world should look like. This effect appears to be due to a feature of our neural system that relies on generating predictions about the world. We expect to see normal letters when reading. These predictions are normally quite helpful and efficient in normal life and this is not something we have control over, ” says Otten. Several studies have previously shown that long-term memory is unreliable and affected by previous expectations. This new study shows that the same is true for short-term memories, suggesting that even the accounts of eyewitnesses immediately after an event may be unconsciously coloured by their expectations. 46. What did the participants see on the computer during the experiment? A. Random letters lined in a circle. B. Random letters hidden in a box. C. Random circles showed in a box. D. Random boxes arranged in a circle. 47. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To present the result of the experiment. C. To unfold the process of the experiment. D. To show the background of the research. 48. How did the researchers ensure the accuracy of the results? A. By showing participants’ letters after 3 seconds. B. By changing letters' positions from a different circle. C. By comparing the answers from different age groups. D. By analysing confidence ratings to identify reliable answers. 49. What does Otten's research reveal about our neural system? A. It prioritises speed over accuracy in recall. B. It is highly adaptable to unexpected visual input. C. It actively anticipates what it expects to perceive. D. It struggles to process unfamiliar visual information. 50. What can be concluded from Otten’s study compared to previous research? A. Short-term memory is more reliable than long-term memory. B. Short-term memory can also be affected by preconceptions. C. Previous expectations have no influence on memory. D. Memory illusions are more common in adults. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。荷兰研究者奥滕团队的实验表明，短期记忆和长期记忆一样受先前预想影响，即便目击者即时回忆也可能因预期产生偏差。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The team conducted several experiments on more than 400 people that involved showing the participants random letters arranged in a circle on a computer screen. (该团队对400多人进行了几项实验，实验中向参与者展示了电脑屏幕上排列成圆形的随机字母。)”可知，参与者在实验中看到的是排列成圆形的随机字母。故选A项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the simplest form of this experiment, the participants were shown the letters for a quarter of a second before the screen went blank.

We expect to see normal letters when reading.(这种效应似乎源于我们神经系统的一个特征，即依赖于对世界产生预测。我们在阅读时期望看到正常的字母。)”可知，神经系统会主动预判即将感知的事物。故选C项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Several studies have previously shown that long-term memory is unreliable and affected by previous expectations. This new study shows that the same is true for short-term memories. (此前有几项研究表明，长期记忆并不可靠，且会受到先前预期的影响。这项新研究表明，短期记忆也是如此。)”可知，与先前研究相比，该研究发现短期记忆也会受预想影响。故选B项。 D The well-known saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention, ” expresses a belief widely held in our society. It suggests that pressing needs directly inspire creative solutions, and history does offer some support for this view. Eli Whitney’s 1794 cotton gin, for example, efficiently met the urgent need to clean cotton in the American South, seeming to confirm this principle perfectly. However, such straightforward examples can be misleading. They tempt us to assume that all major inventions were direct responses to obvious needs. In truth, the reverse is frequently the case: invention itself is the mother of necessity. The driving force behind most important breakthroughs has typically not been clear market demand, but rather human curiosity and a simple love of tinkering (摆弄，动手做) . More often than not, a new device is created first through experimental work; only afterward does its inventor begin searching for practical applications. Consumers, in turn, often only gradually come to realise they “need” the new technology long after its initial development. The history of the automobile provides a particularly illuminating case study. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866, it was notoriously clumsy, inefficient, and physically enormous. Decades later, when the first truck was developed, it entered a transportation landscape dominated by horse-drawn wagons and steam-powered railways. The general public showed little interest in this novel “horseless carriage” and remained largely content with existing options. It was not until World War I, when military strategists recognised the truck’s strategic advantages, that these vehicles became established as essential equipment, eventually replacing horse-drawn transport in industrialised nations. This pattern of innovation-before-demand persists because early prototypes are often too crude and impractical to be immediately useful. The first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as initially unpromising as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. This inherent uncertainty makes the inventor’s path particularly challenging, requiring extraordinary persistence to continue refining a device that shows no immediate market potential. Furthermore, even those rare inventions that are designed for specific needs often find their most important applications in completely unexpected areas. While James Watt originally developed his steam engine to pump water from mines, its true revolutionary impact emerged when it began powering cotton mills and later propelling trains and steamboats — applications far beyond its original purpose. Therefore, while pressing needs can occasionally inspire new solutions, the deeper engine of human creativity, driven primarily by curiosity and experimentation, more often serves as the true wellspring of invention. These curiosity-driven innovations ultimately create their own demand, progressively reshaping our world in ways no one could have initially predicted, and demonstrating how invention frequently precedes and creates necessity rather than merely responding to it. 51. Why does the writer mention Eli Whitney in Paragraph 1? A. To clarify a doubt. B. To illustrate a view. C. To introduce the topic. D. To evaluate a statement. 52. What is the author’s main argument? A. Necessity drives most innovations. B. Inventions often create new demands. C. Curiosity is secondary to market needs. D. Historical examples are always misleading. 53. What contributed to the popularity of motor vehicles? A. Creative designs. B. Powerful engines. C. Military demands. D. Public satisfaction. 54. What does Watt’s steam engine example illustrate? A. Original purposes are rarely met. B. Inventions always have multiple uses. C. Inventions may find unexpected applications. D. Engineering breakthroughs are crucial for progress. 55. What is the best title for this passage? A. Social Need: the Inner Drive for Invention B. Great Invention: the Force of Society’s Progress C. General Application: the Final Purpose of Invention D. Beyond Necessity: the Curious Pursuit of Invention 【答案】51. B 52. B 53. C 54. C 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章反驳“需求是发明之母”的观点，提出多数发明源于人类好奇心与实验探索，往往先有发明后产生需求。多个历史案例证明，发明常创造新需求，重塑世界。 51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The well-known saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention, ” expresses a belief widely held in our society. It suggests that pressing needs directly inspire creative solutions, and history does offer some support for this view. Eli Whitney’s 1794 cotton gin, for example, efficiently met the urgent need to clean cotton in the American South, seeming to confirm this principle perfectly. (有一句广为人知的谚语：“需求是发明之母”，这表达了我们社会中普遍持有的一个观点。它表明紧迫的需求会直接激发创新的解决方案，而且历史确实为这一观点提供了一定的佐证。例如，埃利·惠特尼于1794年发明的棉纺机就有效地满足了美国南部地区迫切的清理棉花的需求，似乎完美地证实了这一原则。)”可知，作者在第一段中提及埃利·惠特尼是为了阐明某种观点。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In truth, the reverse is frequently the case: invention itself is the mother of necessity. (事实上，情况往往恰恰相反：发明本身正是产生需求的根源。)”可知，作者的主要观点是发明往往会带来新的需求。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It was not until World War I, when military strategists recognised the truck’s strategic advantages, that these vehicles became established as essential equipment, eventually replacing horse-drawn transport in industrialised nations.

(詹姆斯·瓦特最初研发蒸汽机的目的是用于从矿井中抽水，但其真正具有革命性的影响是在它开始为棉纺厂提供动力，并随后推动火车和蒸汽船之后才显现出来的——这些应用远远超出了其最初的设计用途。)”可知，瓦特的蒸汽机例子说明了发明可能会有出乎意料的应用。故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In truth, the reverse is frequently the case: invention itself is the mother of necessity. (事实上，情况往往恰恰相反：发明本身正是产生需求的根源。)”以及文章围绕 “发明超越需求” 展开，强调好奇心和实验是发明的核心驱动力，而非单纯响应需求。可知，D选项“超越必要：对发明的奇特追求”最符合文章标题。故选D。 河北区2025~2026学年度第一学期期中高三年级质量检测 英语笔试 第 Ⅱ 卷 注意事项： 1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I never realised how much public speaking would be part of a writer’s life. After my first three books were published, no one asked me to give a speech, which suited me perfectly — I had always been terrified of speaking in front of others. Then, just before the release of my fourth book, an invitation arrived for a literary festival. I assumed it would be a cozy on-stage interview, discussing my writing process. Though still uneasy, I agreed. The night before my session, an organiser walked me through the venue — a small tent set up in the town square. Another author was speaking, and I saw in horror that there was no interviewer, no table. Just one person standing alone, holding the attention of about eighty people. “How long does each talk last?” I managed to ask. “Around fifty minutes,” the organiser replied cheerfully. “We like to leave time for questions.” My mind switched into survival mode. In just a few hours, I’d be pushed out of a plane — it was time to build a parachute. Back in my hotel room, I pieced together a talk from old anecdotes, recent embarrassments, and excerpts from the book I was promoting. With my heart pounding like a trapped bird, I walked toward the tent, repeating my lines under my breath… and sent up a silent prayer that my voice wouldn’t fail me when the moment came. As I walked off the stage, the wave of nervous energy finally receding, I realised I had survived. My final conclusion: it had gone… okay. There were moments of laughter, moments of awkward silence. But the tent didn’t collapse, and I didn’t run offstage. There’s no secret to overcoming the fear of public speaking. You just have to do it — accept that you won’t be great at first and trust that you’ll improve. After that festival, I had a basic speech structure, which I refined over time. The dread I once felt slowly transformed into a nervous energy that felt almost like excitement. Now, given the choice between a moderated interview and speaking solo for fifty minutes, I’d choose the latter. That way, I’m in control — not just of the words, but of the rhythm, the pauses, the connection. And that kind of control is a kind of freedom. 56.

It makes me understand that freedom can be a sense of control over what you do. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从害怕公开演讲到逐渐克服恐惧，最终享受在公众面前演讲并获得掌控感的经历。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I had always been terrified of speaking in front of others. (我一直害怕在别人面前演讲)” 可知，作者最初对公开演讲感到恐惧。故答案为He was terrified of it. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“I assumed it would be a cozy on-stage interview, discussing my writing process. Though still uneasy, I agreed. (我以为这将是一个舒适的舞台采访，讨论我的写作过程。虽然我还是有些不安，但还是同意了)” 可知，作者最初以为是舒适的舞台访谈，所以同意了。故答案为Because he thought it would be a cozy on-stage interview about his writing process. 【58题详解】 考查推理判断。第六段“My mind switched into survival mode. In just a few hours, I’d be pushed out of a plane — it was time to build a parachute. Back in my hotel room, I pieced together a talk from old anecdotes, recent embarrassments, and excerpts from the book I was promoting. With my heart pounding like a trapped bird, I walked toward the tent, repeating my lines under my breath… and sent up a silent prayer that my voice wouldn’t fail me when the moment came. (我的思维切换到生存模式。再过几个小时，我就会被推出飞机——是时候制作降落伞了。回到我的酒店房间，我从过去的轶事，最近的尴尬，以及我正在推广的书的摘录中拼凑出了一个演讲。我的心像一只被困住的小鸟一样怦怦直跳，我朝帐篷走去，低声重复着我的台词……然后默默地祈祷，希望那一刻到来时，我的声音不会失声)”可知，本段主要讲述了作者为演讲做准备以及上台前的紧张状态。故答案为The author’s preparation and nervousness before the speech. 【59题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第七段“As I walked off the stage, the wave of nervous energy finally receding, I realised I had survived. My final conclusion: it had gone… okay. (当我走下舞台时，紧张的情绪终于receding，我意识到我活了下来。我最后的结论是：它已经消失了……好吧)”可知，演讲结束后作者走下舞台，感觉自己历经紧张的过程后存活下来了，紧张的情绪离他而去了，这说明receding的意思跟“had gone”接近，且海浪一样，是逐渐消退的。故答案为Gradually disappearing. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段“That way, I’m in control — not just of the words, but of the rhythm, the pauses, the connection. And that kind of control is a kind of freedom. (这样，我就能控制——不仅仅是用词，还有节奏、停顿和连接。这种控制就是一种自由)”可知，作者的故事让我明白自由可以是对事物的掌控感。故答案为It makes me understand that freedom can be a sense of control over what you do. 第二节：书面表达 (满分25分) 61. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。在你校一年一度的校园科技节期间，校英语社团将举办主题为“我身边的’中国智造’”英语演讲比赛，你很感兴趣并报名参加。请根据以下提示，写一篇演讲稿： (1) 介绍一款你喜爱且体现“中国智造”理念的科技产品 (如：3D 打印机、智能机器人、无人机、智能电车等) ； (2) 讲述一个具体事例，说明它是如何帮助人们或为人们带来乐趣的； (3) 分享它带给你的启示或感悟。 试题词汇：智能机器人 AI robot 无人机 drone 智能电车 Intelligent Electric Vehicle 注意： (1) 词数不少于100; (2) 所介绍的科技产品不限于试题词汇给出的范围; (3) 可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯; (4) 题目已给出，不计入总词数。 Smart Creations from China, All Around Me ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Smart Creations from China, All Around Me Dear teachers and classmates, It’s my great honor to share a “China Smart Creation” that has impressed me deeply — the intelligent delivery robot. Last winter, my grandma fell ill and couldn’t go out to buy medicine. The pharmacy was far away, and my parents were at work. I was worried until I remembered the intelligent delivery robot service in our community. I placed an order through the app, and in just 20 minutes, the robot arrived at our door. It navigated smoothly through the neighborhood, avoided obstacles skillfully, and sent a notification to my phone. When I opened the robot’s compartment with a code, the medicine was still warm. That moment, I felt how technology brings convenience to life. It tells me that “China Smart Creation” is not just about advanced technology, but about solving real-life problems with warmth.
