It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entrance. Layout: The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th-to15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling. The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese. The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer. The East Wing houses 18th-to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh. Opening Hours: The Gallery is open every day from 10 am to 6 pm (Fridays 10 am to 9 pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions. Getting There: Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk), Leicester Square (3-minute walk), Embankment (7-minute walk), and Piccadilly Circus (8-minute walk). 1. In which century’s collection can you see religious paintings? A. The 20th B. The 17th C. The 18th D. The 13th 2. Where are Leonardo da Vinci’s works shown? A. In the East Wing. B. In the main West Wing. C. In the Sainsbury Wing. D. In the North Wing. 3. Which underground station is closest to the National Gallery? A. Charing Cross. B. Leicester Square. C. Embankment. D. Piccadilly Circus. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国国家美术馆的展品以及这个展馆的布置、开馆的时间等情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的ranging from 13th­century religious paintings to...可知人们可以在这里看到13世纪的宗教图画。B、C、D三项中的图画都没有涉及religious这个词。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的The main West Wing houses 16th­century paintings，and artists include Leonardo da Vinci...可知，达•芬奇的作品可以在the main West Wing中看到，因此选B。其他几个地方都没有展出达•芬奇的画。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Nearest underground stations：Charing Cross(2­minute walk)．..可知，Charing Cross离国家美术馆只有步行2分钟的路程，其他几个地方离国家美术馆的距离都比Charing Cross远。故选A。 【点睛】细节理解题解题思路与应试技巧 细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到，即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。 通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征： 1、对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。 2、词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，或者改变原文句子的语态，给考生制造障碍。 3、语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。 4、正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项（适用于寻找错误选项的题目）。 干扰项也是以文章中的某个细节设题，若不仔细辨别，很容易把它当成正确选项。干扰项有以下特征： 1、将原文内容扩大或缩小。把原文中的限定词去掉或替换，使该选项看似正确，实际上却是错误选项。 2、把未然当已然。改变文中某句话的时态，如把将来时变成现在时，把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情。 3、无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出的结论，而文中并未涉及。 4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”，所述细节确实与原文一致，一不小心就会误选。 5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别，选项中的描述与原文完全一致，确属原文中的一个细节，这时要回到题干，看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。 B Baggy has become the first dog in the UK—and potentially the world—to join the fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground. Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground. Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems. Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair（婴儿车）, she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment A gency. The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma（哮喘）. Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because “when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma." “Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets（小装置）. About one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution？'So we did it." Tom said, "Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her." 4. With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can ____________. A. take pollutant readings B. record pollutant levels C. process collected data D. reduce air pollution 5. What can we learn from the Baggy data? A High places are free of air pollution. B. Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids. C. Conventional monitors are more reliable. D. Air is more polluted closer to the ground. 6. What is Tom's purpose of doing the research? A. To warn of a health risk. B. To find out pollution sources. C. To test his new monitor. D. To prove Baggy's abilities. 7. According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt? A. Modest. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Outgoing. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了13岁的孩子Tom Hunt和他的爸爸通过在自己的宠物狗的脖子上戴污染监测器来记录地面附近的污染物水平；监测仪显示，接近地面的空气污染水平更高，这有助于强调婴儿和幼儿可能面临更高风险发展肺部问题的担忧。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。本题题干意为：她的衣领上戴着监视器，Baggy 可以…。根据文章第二段Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground. Baggy在她的衣领上戴着污染监测器，这样她就可以在接近地面的地方进行数据测量。可知戴着污染监测器可以记录污染物的水平。故答案为B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。本题题干意为：我们从Baggy收集到的数据中可以了解到什么？根据文章第二段 Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems.她的监测仪显示，接近地面的空气污染水平更高，这有助于突显婴儿和幼童罹患肺部疾病的风险更高的担忧。可知接近地面的空气污染水平更高。故答案为D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。本题题干意为：进行这项研究Tom的意图是？根据文章第四段Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasize that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma（哮喘）.汤姆已经令人震惊的发现报告给政府,试图强调,婴儿患哮喘的风险更高。可知Tom研究的目的是对健康风险提出警告。故答案为A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。本题题干意为：根据文章，哪个词最能描述汤姆·亨特?根据文章倒数第二段“Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets（小装置）.About one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution？'So we did it."汤姆在很小的时候就对环境保护产生了热情，马特补充说。他非常感兴趣的产品(小装置)。大约一年前，他得到了一个类似试管的新技术。一个星期天的下午，我们出去做一些监测，他说，为什么我们不把它戴在Baggy的衣领上，让她监测污染?于是我们就这么做了。可知Tom是非常的有创造力的。故答案为C项。 C In recent years, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language learning has sparked both enthusiasm and debate among educators and learners. A 2023 study published in Journal of Educational Technology tracked 1,200 college students over a six-month period, comparing traditional language courses with AI-assisted learning programs. The results revealed that students using AI tools showed a 25% faster improvement in vocabulary and an 18% higher accuracy in grammar exercises, though their performance in face-to-face conversation remained on par with (水平相当) the control group. Researchers credit this discrepancy to the AI’s strength in repetitive, rule-based tasks. “AI is good at providing instant, personalized feedback on grammar and vocabulary,” explained Dr. Li Mei, lead author of the study. “But human interaction is irreplaceable for subtle differences like intonation, cultural context, and emotional expression.” This finding aligns with (相一致) a survey by the International Language Teaching Association, where 68% of teachers noted that while AI reduced their workload in grading and drill sessions, it failed to replicate (复制) the motivational impact of a teacher’s encouragement. Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might weaken students’ ability to think critically. A follow-up survey of the 1,200 participants found that 32% of AI users admitted to relying on the tool’s suggestions without fully understanding the underlying rules, compared to just 11% in the traditional group. “Technology should be a scaffold (脚手架), not a crutch (拐杖),” warned Professor Zhang Wei from Beijing Normal University. “Educators must guide students to use AI mindfully, combining its efficiency with human-led deep learning.” Despite these concerns, the adoption of AI in language classrooms continues to rise. A 2024 report by EdTech Insights predicts that by 2025, 70% of higher education institutions will bring AI language tools into their curricula (课程), driven by student demand for flexible, self-paced learning options. “Students today grew up with technology; they expect learning to be interactive and adaptive,” said Laura Chen, a senior at Shanghai University who uses an AI language app daily. “It’s not about replacing teachers — it’s about creating a more dynamic learning ecosystem.” 8. What is the main finding of the 2023 study mentioned in the first paragraph? A. AI tools significantly improved students’ conversational skills. B. Traditional courses were more effective in long-term language retention. C. Students using AI showed faster progress in vocabulary and grammar. D. AI-assisted learning reduced the workload of all language teachers. 9. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” (Para. 2) probably mean? A. Improvement B. Similarity C. Difference D. Advantage 10. What concern do critics express about AI in language learning? A. It may reduce the number of teaching positions. B. It fails to provide instant feedback on grammar. C. AI tools are too expensive for most institutions. D. Students might depend on it without understanding rules. 11. What does the 2024 EdTech Insights report suggest about AI adoption? A. Student demand is a key driver for integrating AI into curricula. B. Most universities will stop using traditional language courses by 2025. C. AI will replace human teachers in 70% of language classrooms. D. Educators are resistant to AI due to job security concerns. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能融入语言学习的相关研究、争议及应用趋势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The results revealed that students using AI tools showed a 25% faster improvement in vocabulary and an 18% higher accuracy in grammar exercises, though their performance in face-to-face conversation remained on par with the control group.(结果显示，使用人工智能工具的学生在词汇方面的进步速度快了25%，在语法练习中的准确率高了18%，不过他们在面对面交流中的表现与对照组水平相当)”可知，2023年的研究发现使用人工智能的学生在词汇和语法方面进步更快。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Researchers credit this discrepancy to the AI’s strength in repetitive, rule-based tasks. “AI is good at providing instant, personalized feedback on grammar and vocabulary,” explained Dr. Li Mei, lead author of the study. “But human interaction is irreplaceable for subtle differences like intonation, cultural context, and emotional expression.”(研究人员将这种discrepancy归因于人工智能在重复性、规则导向型任务中的优势。该研究的主要作者李梅博士解释道：“人工智能擅长针对语法和词汇提供即时、个性化的反馈。但在语调、文化语境和情感表达等细微差异方面，人际互动具有不可替代性。”)”可知，人工智能擅长在语法和词汇方面提供即时、个性化的反馈，但是人类的互动在语调、文化背景和情感表达等细微差别方面是不可替代的，由此可推测出，划线单词“discrepancy”意为“差异”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might weaken students’ ability to think critically. A follow-up survey of the 1,200 participants found that 32% of AI users admitted to relying on the tool’s suggestions without fully understanding the underlying rules.(批评者认为，过度依赖人工智能可能会削弱学生的批判性思维能力。对1200名参与者的后续调查发现，32%的人工智能使用者承认在没有完全理解潜在规则的情况下依赖该工具的建议)”可知，批评者担心学生可能依赖人工智能却不理解规则。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 2024 report by EdTech Insights predicts that by 2025, 70% of higher education institutions will bring AI language tools into their curricula, driven by student demand for flexible, self-paced learning options.(EdTech Insights 2024年的一份报告预测，到2025年，在学生对灵活、自主节奏学习选项的需求推动下，70%的高等教育机构将把人工智能语言工具纳入其课程)”可知，学生需求是将人工智能融入课程的关键驱动力。故选A。 D People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted and can’t focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah. Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters. Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted. “People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said. Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking. The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.” 12. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask __________. A. seek high productivity constantly B. prefer handling different things when getting bored C are more focused when doing many things at a time D. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time 13. When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they __________. A. assessed the multitasking ability of the students B. evaluated the academic achievements of the students C. analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks D. measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability 14. According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their __________. A. limited power in calculation B. interests in doing things differently C. inability to concentrate on one task D. impulsive desire to try new things 15. From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually __________. A. drive very skillfully B. go in for different tasks C. fail to react quickly to potential dangers D. refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了Sanbonmatsu与他的同事们的一项研究结果：同时做很多事情的人往往会有最糟糕的结果，这是因为这些人做事情不专心，他们不能对潜在的危险作出迅速的反应。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. (一项新的研究表明：一直同时处理多项任务的人可能在同时做两件事时表现最差。)”可知，Sanbonmatsu的研究表明：同时做多项任务的人在同时做很多事情时往往会有最差的结果，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters. (然后，他们通过一项棘手的心理任务评估参与者的多任务处理能力，该任务要求学生在记住一组字母的同时进行简单的数学计算。)”可知，Sanbonmatsu和他的同事们在实验中评估了学生们的多任务处理能力，故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.’ Sanbonmatsu said. (Sanbonmatsu说：“人们同时处理多项任务不是因为它会带来更高的生产力，而是因为他们会分心，他们会陷入不那么重要的事情中。”)”可知，Sanbonmatsu认为人们处理多个任务是因为他们分心，注意力无法集中在一个任务上，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.’ said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. (另一位不在小组中的研究人员Paul Atchley说：“多任务处理的人通常对危险情况不太敏感。”)”可知，多任务处理者对潜在的危险不敏感，故推知他们不能迅速对危险作出反应，故选C。 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。 Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ____16____Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. ____17____For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” ___18___You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. ___19___For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” ___20___However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了密码的重要性、密码的设置方式、密码本的作用。 【16题详解】 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句讲人们使用密码已经几千年了，下句讲密码破译工作。空白处和密码破译有关，D项内容符合语境，连接上下文。故选D。 【17题详解】 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。后面的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母作为密码，E项符合此内容，故选E。 【18题详解】 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文的解释内容可知介绍了密码设置的又一种方法，G项符合此意，故选G。 【19题详解】 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文的例子及上句中的a code book可以判断该句是介绍密码本的使用，F项符合此意，承上启下。故选F。 【20题详解】 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文介绍密码本的重要作用，A项：没有密码本很难破译，总结上文。故选A。 【点睛】关于七选五的做题步骤： 1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。 2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。 3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。小题1中上句讲人们使用密码已经几千年了，下句讲密码破译工作。空白处和密码破译有关，D项内容符合语境，连接上下文。小题2中后面的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母作为密码，E项符合此内容。 4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。 在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。 5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，选出最佳选项。 While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this ___21___ process and found something that has changed my ___22___ at college for the better: I discovered ASL— American Sign Language. I never felt an urge to learn any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The ___23___ languages were enough in all my interactions. Little did I know that I would discover my ___24___ for ASL. The ___25___ began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club ___26___ their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very idea of communicating without speaking ___27___ me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the past. This newness just left me ___28___ more. After that, feeling the need to explore further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings. I only learned how to ___29___ the alphabet (字母) that day. Yet instead of being ____30____ by my slow progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to ____31____ those meetings and learn all I could. The following term, I ____32____ an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was ____33____.

Learning that you are about to pay a visit to a Chinese friend and confused about the Chinese customs I am writing to inform you of some relevant details. Firstly, I would like to suggest that you arrive 5 to 10 minutes earlier, which is common in Chinese traditional culture. Secondly, if I were you, I would bring some gifts with me, such as souvenirs from my own country. Besides, table manners are also what you should pay attention to. For example, you are not supposed to stick your chopsticks into your food. Instead, laying them on your dish is a smart choice. Hopefully, these suggestions will be helpful for you. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【详解】本文是一篇书信类应用文写作。餐桌礼仪也是考生比较熟悉的话题。成文时注意以下几点：一、内容要点要齐全1．到达时间；2．合适的礼物；3．餐桌礼仪。二、时态：主要用一般现在时和将来时；三、人称：二、三人称。四、注意使用恰当的高级词汇、短语或句型，以提高作文的水平；五、适当使用一些连接词和插入语，使文章表达自然、流畅。 点睛：本文虽然看起来比较容易，但学生真正动起笔来，还是比较困惑的。原因为：1.看起来中国餐桌礼仪很熟悉，但内容很多，一时间不知道该写什么；2.100单词左右，写出到达时间；合适的礼物；餐桌礼仪三个内容，信息量大，选择有困难； 应对方法：近年来高考写作的命题常用的思想就是高起点低落点。高起点题目很高，中国文化，中国故事，中国礼仪等等，但最终都把它们落在应用文的框架里，这就是低落点。写这样的作文，一定要注意不能写过于具体的内容，要找最重要的，最熟悉的写，不要面面俱到，中国餐桌礼仪内容太多，100单词无法写。找重点，以点带面。但选择重要内容本身就是一种能力。 第二节 读后续写(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Theresa had always looked forward to the first day of school, but this year was different. Due to her father’s recent job change, she and her family had moved across the country to a new town and a new neighborhood. She didn’t even want to get out of bed. Getting up meant going to school. She didn’t know a soul. She had no friends here. Who would she talk to? Who would she hang out with? This would not be a good day, she thought to herself. After a quick breakfast, she grabbed her things and headed down the street to the corner where the bus would pick her up. In the distance, she could see two girls laughing about something. As Theresa got closer, the girls shot a brief look at her way and then continued on with their conversation. Finally the bus arrived. Theresa stepped on and sat alone. The ride seemed rather long until the bus pulled up in front of the school. Theresa climbed off the bus with no idea where to go. The school was much bigger than her old one. She had made it through the whole morning. But now it’s lunch time, and she was keenly aware of the fact that she had no one to sit and dine with. She found a place alone in the corner and sat down with lunch. Just as she started to eat, she saw two girls approaching. They were the girls from the bus stop. “Do you mind if we join you?” said the one in front. 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。 “Mind? Please sit with me!” Theresa thought and quickly replied,“not at all.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For Theresa, the ride home was quite a bit different from the bus trip that morning. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “Mind? Please sit with me!” Theresa thought and quickly replied, “not at all.” “This is usually where we sit for lunch, and since we saw you at the bus stop this morning, it must be fate or something,” said the other girl. “Maybe we’re supposed to be friends.” Theresa also expressed her willingness to be their friends. And with that, new friendships were formed. Through the whole lunch they chatted about their classes and giggling about various stories. The three girls agreed to head home together at the end of the day as they parted for the afternoon class. For Theresa, the ride home was quite a bit different from the bus trip that morning. She now had people to sit with and new friends to talk to. She was not alone any more. The time went by much more quickly than the ride to school in that morning. The girls talked and laughed the entire way back to their neighborhood. They got off the bus and began the walk to their own houses. One by one, they said their goodbyes and exchanged quick hugs followed by a “See you tomorrow.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了特蕾莎和她的家人搬到了一个新的城镇和一个新的社区，她一个人也不认识。她在这里没有朋友。最后她遇到了两个女孩，建立了新的友谊，也不再感到孤独了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘介意吗?请和我坐在一起!’特蕾莎想了想，很快回答说：‘一点也不。’”可知，第一段可描写三人成为朋友的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“对特蕾莎来说，那天早上回家的路上和坐公交车的路上有很大的不同”可知，第二段可描写特蕾莎不再感到孤独，女孩们建立了深厚的友谊。 2.续写线索：特蕾莎邀请同坐——交谈——成为朋友——一起回家——特蕾莎感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：express/extend ②看见：see/spot ③回家：head home/go back home 情绪类 ①孤单：alone/lonely ②意愿：willingness/will 【点睛】[高分句型1] One by one, they said their goodbyes and exchanged quick hugs followed by a “See you tomorrow.”(运用了过去分词作状语) [高分句型2] This is usually where we sit for lunch, and since we saw you at the bus stop this morning, it must be fate or something (运用了since引导原因状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度上学期2024级 期中考试英语试卷 考试时间：2025年11月14日 第一部分 听力 （共两节、满分30分） 做题时先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.Where will the family spend their summer holiday?

Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground. Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems. Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair（婴儿车）, she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment A gency. The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma（哮喘）. Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because “when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma." “Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets（小装置）. About one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution？'So we did it." Tom said, "Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her." 4. With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can ____________. A. take pollutant readings B. record pollutant levels C. process collected data D. reduce air pollution 5. What can we learn from the Baggy data? A. High places are free of air pollution. B. Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids. C. Conventional monitors are more reliable. D Air is more polluted closer to the ground. 6. What is Tom's purpose of doing the research? A. To warn of a health risk. B. To find out pollution sources. C. To test his new monitor. D. To prove Baggy's abilities. 7. According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt? A. Modest. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Outgoing. C In recent years, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language learning has sparked both enthusiasm and debate among educators and learners. A 2023 study published in Journal of Educational Technology tracked 1,200 college students over a six-month period, comparing traditional language courses with AI-assisted learning programs. The results revealed that students using AI tools showed a 25% faster improvement in vocabulary and an 18% higher accuracy in grammar exercises, though their performance in face-to-face conversation remained on par with (水平相当) the control group. Researchers credit this discrepancy to the AI’s strength in repetitive, rule-based tasks. “AI is good at providing instant, personalized feedback on grammar and vocabulary,” explained Dr. Li Mei, lead author of the study. “But human interaction is irreplaceable for subtle differences like intonation, cultural context, and emotional expression.” This finding aligns with (相一致) a survey by the International Language Teaching Association, where 68% of teachers noted that while AI reduced their workload in grading and drill sessions, it failed to replicate (复制) the motivational impact of a teacher’s encouragement. Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might weaken students’ ability to think critically. A follow-up survey of the 1,200 participants found that 32% of AI users admitted to relying on the tool’s suggestions without fully understanding the underlying rules, compared to just 11% in the traditional group. “Technology should be a scaffold (脚手架), not a crutch (拐杖),” warned Professor Zhang Wei from Beijing Normal University. “Educators must guide students to use AI mindfully, combining its efficiency with human-led deep learning.” Despite these concerns, the adoption of AI in language classrooms continues to rise. A 2024 report by EdTech Insights predicts that by 2025, 70% of higher education institutions will bring AI language tools into their curricula (课程), driven by student demand for flexible, self-paced learning options. “Students today grew up with technology; they expect learning to be interactive and adaptive,” said Laura Chen, a senior at Shanghai University who uses an AI language app daily. “It’s not about replacing teachers — it’s about creating a more dynamic learning ecosystem.” 8. What is the main finding of the 2023 study mentioned in the first paragraph? A. AI tools significantly improved students’ conversational skills. B. Traditional courses were more effective in long-term language retention. C. Students using AI showed faster progress in vocabulary and grammar. D. AI-assisted learning reduced the workload of all language teachers. 9. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” (Para. 2) probably mean? A. Improvement B. Similarity C. Difference D. Advantage 10. What concern do critics express about AI in language learning? A. It may reduce the number of teaching positions. B. It fails to provide instant feedback on grammar. C. AI tools are too expensive for most institutions. D. Students might depend on it without understanding rules. 11. What does the 2024 EdTech Insights report suggest about AI adoption? A. Student demand is a key driver for integrating AI into curricula. B. Most universities will stop using traditional language courses by 2025. C. AI will replace human teachers in 70% of language classrooms. D. Educators are resistant to AI due to job security concerns. D People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted and can’t focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah. Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters. Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted. “People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said. Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking. The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.” 12. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask __________. A. seek high productivity constantly B. prefer handling different things when getting bored C. are more focused when doing many things at a time D. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time 13. When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they __________. A. assessed the multitasking ability of the students B. evaluated the academic achievements of the students C. analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks D. measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability 14.

Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ____16____Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. ____17____For example the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” ___18___You might represent each letter with a number, for example.

Due to her father’s recent job change, she and her family had moved across the country to a new town and a new neighborhood. She didn’t even want to get out of bed. Getting up meant going to school. She didn’t know a soul. She had no friends here. Who would she talk to? Who would she hang out with? This would not be a good day, she thought to herself. After a quick breakfast, she grabbed her things and headed down the street to the corner where the bus would pick her up. In the distance, she could see two girls laughing about something. As Theresa got closer, the girls shot a brief look at her way and then continued on with their conversation. Finally the bus arrived. Theresa stepped on and sat alone. The ride seemed rather long until the bus pulled up in front of the school. Theresa climbed off the bus with no idea where to go. The school was much bigger than her old one. She had made it through the whole morning. But now it’s lunch time, and she was keenly aware of the fact that she had no one to sit and dine with. She found a place alone in the corner and sat down with lunch. Just as she started to eat, she saw two girls approaching. They were the girls from the bus stop. “Do you mind if we join you?” said the one in front. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 “Mind? Please sit with me!” Theresa thought and quickly replied,“not at all.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For Theresa, the ride home was quite a bit different from the bus trip that morning. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
