B I once played squash (壁球) with a wealthy investor at a private club in Singapore. Even though it was a friendly game, I still didn’t want it to be a total wipeout. I’m not great at squash, and I knew my opponent was a regular player. But he was in his 60s, and I was in my 30s, so I figured how hard could it be? Surely, I could easily beat him. My confidence lasted about five minutes. While I struggled and sweated at every point with my tongue sticking out, my opponent stayed calm and controlled, barely stepping away from the center of the court, making me run for all four corners. For all my chaotic gameplay, he moved with efficiency and precise shots. Put simply, this investor beat me rather badly without even breaking a sweat. He trained specifically to make the best use of his strengths and came prepared. That match stuck with me. True, I had lost, but I also finally realized something I’d been wrong about for years: Working harder isn’t always the answer. Strategy beats random, and the real challenge is to find the smarter game to play. Imagine a lifeguard who spots someone drowning offshore. The shortest path is a straight line, but it’s not the fastest. You can run faster on sand than you can swim in water, so the ideal route involves running most of the way along the shore before swimming the final stretch. My squash game is a practical demonstration of this classic physics problem: I was the lifeguard who started swimming straight out, and my opponent was running along the shore first. Once I realized that I couldn’t win the squash match, the right move was to reevaluate my personal goals: I wasn’t there to win at squash. I was there to make a good impression, which required an entirely different strategy. Thus, I could use the game to prove that I know how to behave by making an outstanding display of effort while running for each point. The “work harder” reflection treats every problem like a fitness challenge when most things in life are actually puzzles. We identify some goal, then immediately ask, “How can I work harder to achieve this?” when what we should be asking is: “What do I actually want, and what’s the smartest way to get there?” Most frustrations aren’t effort-related. They’re knowledge gaps, misplaced priorities, or strategic blind spots. As Cal Newport writes in Deep Work, “Clearness about what matters provides clearness about what does not.” 40. What was the author’s initial assumption about the squash game? A. He would lose due to his lack of skill. B. He could win easily due to his youth. C. The opponent would go easy on him. D. The game was merely for socializing. 41. What is the primary purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To illustrate the concept of strategic efficiency. B. To compare two totally different types of sports. C. To provide an explanation for the author’s defeat. D. To emphasize the importance of professional skills. 42. What does the author imply about “working harder” in Paragraph 7? A. It is the only way to achieve impossible goals. B. It is often misapplied to puzzle-like problems. C. It is less important than having a good intention. D. It is essential for fitness challenges but not for life. 43. What is the main message of the passage? A. Older people often bear life-lessons to learn from. B. Sports can serve as a metaphor for life challenges. C. Winning in sports requires intense physical training. D. Strategic thinking is more effective than blind effort. 44. Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage? A. The Day I Lost a Game B. Hard Work Always Wins C. Win Smarter, Not Harder D. Lessons from Opponents C Named for their makers, the Nazca people who lived between 200 BC and 650 AD, the “Nazca lines (纳斯卡线条)” remain one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries. Now, researchers have taught artificial intelligence (AI) to spot the geoglyphs (地画) within large areas of aerial pictures, offering new insights into the Nazca lines’ purpose. Dr João Fonte, an archaeologist, started the idea of combining AI with remote detection. It led to the Odyssey Project, in which archaeologists and AI experts cooperated to teach machine learning algorithms (算法) how to recognize different types of archaeological site. The project aims to develop AI that makes inferences using a combination of different types of information, like human experts do. Their most recent study demonstrates an AI system that detects hillforts — enclosed settlements found on hilltops — based on aerial survey data that takes into account elevation changes (海拔变化), even below the vegetation level. The system learns to identify the sites not just by how they look, but also where they are in relation to other features in the landscape. AI models don’t score a hit every time. In fact, the team of Professor Masato Sakai, from Yamagata University’s Institute of Nazca in Peru, examined an average of 36 suggestions from their geoglyph detector carefully to find each one that was really useful. Researchers have increased accuracy by teaching the AI model not just what geoglyphs or hillforts look like, but what “non-hillforts” and “non-geoglyphs” look like as well. According to Sakai, “Training on photographs of areas where no geoglyphs existed, improved the model’s ability to judge whether a geoglyph existed.” Sakai’s team previously suggested that certain figurative (形象的) geoglyphs, often describing people, human sacrifices and farm animals, were associated with a complex system of walking paths. There weren’t enough of these geoglyphs to prove the theory. But with the new additions and fieldwork research proving the geoglyphs can be seen from the paths, the researchers confirm they were objects to be viewed while walking, even suggesting the pictures acted as a means of communication about the human activities that occurred near the paths. Today, the Nazca lines face increasing threats from human activities and extreme weather events like flash floods. AI could also be of great help in predicting how climate change could impact specific sites. 45. What is the goal of the Odyssey Project? A. To develop AI with expert-like reasoning capabilities. B. To find more geoglyphs in the Nazca region. C. To teach AI to take photographs of archaeological sites. D. To study the history of the Nazca people. 46. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “score a hit” in Para.5? A. Cause damage. B. Achieve success. C. Strike a target. D. Offer a suggestion. 47. According to Professor Sakai, how did they improve the accuracy of AI model? A. By using more powerful computers in data processing. B By training it to recognize both positive and negative examples. C. By focusing only on areas where geoglyphs were likely to exist. D. By making it learn from a single type of geoglyph pattern. 48. Before the new AI-assisted discoveries, what was the situation regarding the figurative geoglyphs theory? A. It had been proven false by earlier fieldwork. B. It was considered irrelevant to the Nazca lines. C. It lacked sufficient evidence for solid support. D. It was universally accepted by all archaeologists. 49. What potential future role for AI is mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Predicting the impact of climate change on specific sites. B. Controlling extreme weather events to protect the lines. C. Constructing protective shelters to cover the Nazca lines D. Restoring damaged geoglyphs for research purposes. 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Daily Life of the Ancient Nazca People B. Climate Change: A Threat to Our Heritage C. AI Unlocks New secrets of the Nazca Lines D. The Odyssey Project: A Study of Hillforts D We live in a culture hooked on winning. Gold medals, bestseller lists, championships, and Nobel Prizes are the markers of glory. The spotlight shines brightest on the people who crossed the finish line first, while those who came close slip into the shadows. But what about the “almosts”? The runner who lost by a hundredth of a second. The inventor who had the right idea at the wrong time. The artists whose works only mattered long after they were gone. These people rarely make the headlines, yet their efforts often bend the world in directions we don’t notice until much later. The truth is, the almosts aren’t failures. They’re the ones testing the edges, reaching further than most dare. Sometimes they push society forward more than the celebrated victors. Nikola Tesla is remembered today as a genius, but during his lifetime, he was largely overshadowed by Thomas Edison. Edison had the success and the fame, while Tesla had bold visions of wireless power, alternating current, and radio that the world couldn’t quite catch up to. He died poor and overlooked. Yet look around: our homes, our transport, even our wireless communication, bear Tesla’s fingerprints. Then there’s Vincent van Gogh. Despite producing over 2,000 artworks, Van Gogh struggled with poverty and mental illness while he was alive. His fame and the value of his work skyrocketed only after his death. Today, his masterpieces are among the most beloved works of art on the planet. His “almost” was the world’s failure to see beauty when it was right in front of them. When we give the “almosts” their due, we loosen the tight grip(掌控) success has on victories and headlines. Winning becomes about the courage to try, fail, and keep going. Think of the small business that collapses, only for its founders to rise from the ashes with an idea that changes everything. Even in art, it’s often the painters and poets who never saw their work celebrated while alive who end up touching souls for generations. The beauty of the “almost” is that it reminds us success is about daring to set out in the first place. It reminds us that effort is valuable even without applause. That struggle itself has meaning because most of us are “almosts” in some part of our lives. Few of us will find ourselves in first place. Yet we matter. The almosts live in the delicate space between shadow and legend, quietly keeping the world forward. 51. The underlined phrase “slip into the shadows” in Paragraph 1 describes those who ________. A. intentionally avoid publicity B. fail to win official recognition C. break world records secretly D. prefer working alone at night 52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Headlines should be edited more accurately. B. Failure is always a stepping-stone to success. C. Competitions should also reward second place. D. “Almosts” often advance society in hidden ways. 53. The examples of Tesla and Van Gogh are particularly effective because they ________. A. are widely identified figures whose stories support the argument B. achieved their greatest accomplishments after winning major prizes C. worked in identical fields and gained recognition from their industry D. were both famous and successful immediately in their own lifetimes 54. What can be inferred from the discussion of small businesses in Paragraph 5? A. Initial failure usually guarantees ultimate success. B. Risky start-ups should be banned by governments. C. Lessons from failure may fuel later breakthroughs. D. Founders should predict any slight chance of failure. 55. Which proverb is the author most likely to challenge? A. Winning isn’t everything but the only thing. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 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题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 I was in a shopping mall recently, so I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an older gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch stretched out in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather evident that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it. I then joined the line and waited to be served. Then it happened. One of the most beautiful gestures I have ever seen in my life. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. Then the young man handed the server a twenty-dollar bill and requested an orange juice, as well as a favour. The server looked at the young man a little perplexed, not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the older gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench, as well as the change from the girl except her tip. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Subsequently, there was a wonderful exchange between the server and the older man in need of some attention. I only wish I had a photo of the smiles on both of their faces. As I was pondering this event later on, I wondered to myself why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this older man as well. Absolutely beautiful! There are many ways of thinking when we encounter someone like this older gentleman, in need of kindness and attention. Perhaps he’s just simply lazy and didn’t work hard enough in his life. Or he should have gone to school and made more of himself. But just maybe he needs a little helping hand. Thank God for this young man who inspired the others to goodness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words this young man told the server was, “There go I, but by the Grace of God.” 56. What did the writer notice about the older gentleman when going to the coffee shop?(no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?(1 word) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58.

Why didn’t the young man do the act of kindness-himself in the author’s eyes?(no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 60.

And why?(no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 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。你在某社交媒体上刷到一位名为Chris的外国网友发布的“九三阅兵”短视频。视频中可以看到整齐的徒步方阵、威武的军事装备，视频配文写道：“The parade is amazing, but I wonder if such a grand display might increase global tensions.”请你按照以下提示用英语给Chris留言： 1.肯定阅兵震撼； 2.解释阅兵的意义； 3.邀请他来中国亲身感受和平氛围。 参考词汇： “九三阅兵”V-day Military parade 徒步方队 foot formations 中国人民抗日战争 the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression 注意： 1.词数不少于100词； 2.可适当加入细节，以使行文连贯； 3.留言的开头已为你写好，不计入词数。 Hi, Chris! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 第一部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节 单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 例：Stand over there ________ you’ll be able to see it better.

Even though it was a friendly game, I still didn’t want it to be a total wipeout. I’m not great at squash, and I knew my opponent was a regular player. But he was in his 60s, and I was in my 30s, so I figured how hard could it be? Surely, I could easily beat him. My confidence lasted about five minutes. While I struggled and sweated at every point with my tongue sticking out, my opponent stayed calm and controlled, barely stepping away from the center of the court, making me run for all four corners. For all my chaotic gameplay, he moved with efficiency and precise shots. Put simply, this investor beat me rather badly without even breaking a sweat. He trained specifically to make the best use of his strengths and came prepared. That match stuck with me. True, I had lost, but I also finally realized something I’d been wrong about for years: Working harder isn’t always the answer. Strategy beats random, and the real challenge is to find the smarter game to play. Imagine a lifeguard who spots someone drowning offshore. The shortest path is a straight line, but it’s not the fastest. You can run faster on sand than you can swim in water, so the ideal route involves running most of the way along the shore before swimming the final stretch. My squash game is a practical demonstration of this classic physics problem: I was the lifeguard who started swimming straight out, and my opponent was running along the shore first. Once I realized that I couldn’t win the squash match, the right move was to reevaluate my personal goals: I wasn’t there to win at squash. I was there to make a good impression, which required an entirely different strategy. Thus, I could use the game to prove that I know how to behave by making an outstanding display of effort while running for each point. The “work harder” reflection treats every problem like a fitness challenge when most things in life are actually puzzles. We identify some goal, then immediately ask, “How can I work harder to achieve this?” when what we should be asking is: “What do I actually want, and what’s the smartest way to get there?” Most frustrations aren’t effort-related. They’re knowledge gaps, misplaced priorities, or strategic blind spots. As Cal Newport writes in Deep Work, “Clearness about what matters provides clearness about what does not.” 40. What was the author’s initial assumption about the squash game? A. He would lose due to his lack of skill. B. He could win easily due to his youth. C. The opponent would go easy on him. D. The game was merely for socializing. 41. What is the primary purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To illustrate the concept of strategic efficiency. B. To compare two totally different types of sports. C. To provide an explanation for the author’s defeat. D. To emphasize the importance of professional skills. 42. What does the author imply about “working harder” in Paragraph 7? A. It is the only way to achieve impossible goals. B. It is often misapplied to puzzle-like problems. C. It is less important than having a good intention. D. It is essential for fitness challenges but not for life. 43. What is the main message of the passage? A. Older people often bear life-lessons to learn from. B. Sports can serve as a metaphor for life challenges. C. Winning in sports requires intense physical training. D. Strategic thinking is more effective than blind effort. 44. Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage? A. The Day I Lost a Game B. Hard Work Always Wins C. Win Smarter, Not Harder D. Lessons from Opponents 【答案】40. B 41. A 42. B 43. D 44. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过叙述作者与一位富有投资者的壁球比赛经历，引出了对“努力工作并非总是最佳答案”这一观点的探讨。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I once played squash (壁球) with a wealthy investor at a private club in Singapore. Even though it was a friendly game, I still didn’t want it to be a total wipeout. I’m not great at squash, and I knew my opponent was a regular player. But he was in his 60s, and I was in my 30s, so I figured how hard could it be? Surely, I could easily beat him.(我曾经在新加坡的一家私人俱乐部和一位富有的投资者打壁球。即使这是一场友谊赛，我也不希望它完全被淘汰。我不擅长壁球，而且我知道我的对手是个普通的壁球选手。但他已经60多岁了，而我已经30多岁了，所以我想这能有多难？当然，我可以轻而易举地打败他)”可知，作者认为自己年轻，很容易获胜。故选B项。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Imagine a lifeguard who spots someone drowning offshore. The shortest path is a straight line, but it’s not the fastest. You can run faster on sand than you can swim in water, so the ideal route involves running most of the way along the shore before swimming the final stretch.(想象一下，一个救生员发现有人在近海溺水。最短的路径是一条直线，但它不是最快的。你在沙滩上跑得比在水里游得快，所以理想的路线是在游完最后一段之前沿着海岸跑一段)”可知，本段目的是为了说明战略效率的概念。故选A项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“The “work harder” reflection treats every problem like a fitness challenge when most things in life are actually puzzles.(当生活中的大多数事情实际上都是谜题时，“努力工作”的反思把每个问题都当作健身挑战)”可知，“work harder”暗示了它经常被误用于解谜类问题。故选B项。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Put simply, this investor beat me rather badly without even breaking a sweat. He trained specifically to make the best use of his strengths and came prepared. That match stuck with me. True, I had lost, but I also finally realized something I’d been wrong about for years: Working harder isn’t always the answer. Strategy beats random, and the real challenge is to find the smarter game to play.(简单地说，这位投资者不费吹灰之力就把我打败了。他接受了专门的训练，以充分利用自己的优势，并做好了准备。那场比赛让我印象深刻。没错，我输了，但我也终于意识到我多年来一直错误的想法：更努力地工作并不总是答案。策略胜过盲目行动，真正的挑战在于找到更聪明的玩法)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了策略性思考比盲目努力更有效。故选D项。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Put simply, this investor beat me rather badly without even breaking a sweat. He trained specifically to make the best use of his strengths and came prepared. That match stuck with me. True, I had lost, but I also finally realized something I’d been wrong about for years: Working harder isn’t always the answer.

Now, researchers have taught artificial intelligence (AI) to spot the geoglyphs (地画) within large areas of aerial pictures, offering new insights into the Nazca lines’ purpose. Dr João Fonte an archaeologist, started the idea of combining AI with remote detection. It led to the Odyssey Project, in which archaeologists and AI experts cooperated to teach machine learning algorithms (算法) how to recognize different types of archaeological site. The project aims to develop AI that makes inferences using a combination of different types of information, like human experts do. Their most recent study demonstrates an AI system that detects hillforts — enclosed settlements found on hilltops — based on aerial survey data that takes into account elevation changes (海拔变化), even below the vegetation level. The system learns to identify the sites not just by how they look, but also where they are in relation to other features in the landscape. AI models don’t score a hit every time. In fact, the team of Professor Masato Sakai, from Yamagata University’s Institute of Nazca in Peru, examined an average of 36 suggestions from their geoglyph detector carefully to find each one that was really useful. Researchers have increased accuracy by teaching the AI model not just what geoglyphs or hillforts look like, but what “non-hillforts” and “non-geoglyphs” look like as well. According to Sakai, “Training on photographs of areas where no geoglyphs existed, improved the model’s ability to judge whether a geoglyph existed.” Sakai’s team previously suggested that certain figurative (形象的) geoglyphs, often describing people, human sacrifices and farm animals, were associated with a complex system of walking paths. There weren’t enough of these geoglyphs to prove the theory. But with the new additions and fieldwork research proving the geoglyphs can be seen from the paths, the researchers confirm they were objects to be viewed while walking, even suggesting the pictures acted as a means of communication about the human activities that occurred near the paths. Today, the Nazca lines face increasing threats from human activities and extreme weather events like flash floods. AI could also be of great help in predicting how climate change could impact specific sites. 45. What is the goal of the Odyssey Project? A To develop AI with expert-like reasoning capabilities. B. To find more geoglyphs in the Nazca region. C. To teach AI to take photographs of archaeological sites. D. To study the history of the Nazca people. 46. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “score a hit” in Para.5? A. Cause damage. B. Achieve success. C. Strike a target. D. Offer a suggestion. 47. According to Professor Sakai, how did they improve the accuracy of AI model? A. By using more powerful computers in data processing. B. By training it to recognize both positive and negative examples. C. By focusing only on areas where geoglyphs were likely to exist. D. By making it learn from a single type of geoglyph pattern. 48. Before the new AI-assisted discoveries, what was the situation regarding the figurative geoglyphs theory? A. It had been proven false by earlier fieldwork. B. It was considered irrelevant to the Nazca lines. C. It lacked sufficient evidence for solid support. D. It was universally accepted by all archaeologists. 49. What potential future role for AI is mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Predicting the impact of climate change on specific sites. B. Controlling extreme weather events to protect the lines. C. Constructing protective shelters to cover the Nazca lines D. Restoring damaged geoglyphs for research purposes. 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Daily Life of the Ancient Nazca People B. Climate Change: A Threat to Our Heritage C. AI Unlocks New secrets of the Nazca Lines D. The Odyssey Project: A Study of Hillforts 【答案】45. A 46. B 47. B 48. C 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员利用人工智能技术来识别纳斯卡线条，从而为这些古老地画的用途提供了新的见解，并探讨了人工智能在考古学中的潜在应用。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dr João Fonte, an archaeologist, started the idea of combining AI with remote detection. It led to the Odyssey Project, in which archaeologists and AI experts cooperated to teach machine learning algorithms (算法) how to recognize different types of archaeological site. The project aims to develop AI that makes inferences using a combination of different types of information, like human experts do.(考古学家若昂·丰特博士提出了将人工智能与遥感相结合的想法。这催生了奥德赛项目，在该项目中，考古学家和人工智能专家合作，教机器学习算法如何识别不同类型的考古遗址。该项目旨在开发一种能够像人类专家一样，结合不同类型的信息进行推理的人工智能。)”可知，奥德赛项目的目标是开发具有专家级推理能力的人工智能。故选A。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“AI models don’t score a hit every time. In fact, the team of Professor Masato Sakai, from Yamagata University’s Institute of Nazca in Peru, examined an average of 36 suggestions from their geoglyph detector carefully to find each one that was really useful.(人工智能模型并不是每次都能score a hit。事实上，来自秘鲁山形大学纳斯卡研究所的酒井正人教授的团队，仔细检查了他们的地画探测器平均提出的36条建议，以找出每一条真正有用的建议。)”可知，人工智能模型并不是每次都能成功，即score a hit意为“成功”。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Researchers have increased accuracy by teaching the AI model not just what geoglyphs or hillforts look like, but what “non-hillforts” and “non-geoglyphs” look like as well.(研究人员通过教人工智能模型不仅识别地画或山堡的样子，还识别“非山堡”和“非地画”的样子，提高了准确性。)”可知，酒井教授的团队通过训练人工智能识别正反两种例子来提高其准确性。故选B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Sakai’s team previously suggested that certain figurative (形象的) geoglyphs, often describing people, human sacrifices and farm animals, were associated with a complex system of walking paths. There weren’t enough of these geoglyphs to prove the theory.(酒井的团队此前提出，某些形象的地画，通常描绘人物、活人献祭和农场动物，与复杂的步行路径系统有关。但没有足够的地画来证明这一理论。)”可知，在新的人工智能辅助发现之前，关于形象地画的理论缺乏足够的证据来支持。故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Today, the Nazca lines face increasing threats from human activities and extreme weather events like flash floods. AI could also be of great help in predicting how climate change could impact specific sites.(如今，纳斯卡线条面临着来自人类活动和极端天气事件（如山洪暴发）的日益严重的威胁。人工智能还可以在预测气候变化如何影响特定地点方面发挥巨大作用。)”可知，最后一段提到了人工智能在预测气候变化对特定地点影响方面的潜在作用。故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“Now, researchers have taught artificial intelligence (AI) to spot the geoglyphs (地画) within large areas of aerial pictures, offering new insights into the Nazca lines’ purpose.(现在，研究人员已经教会人工智能(AI)在大面积航拍照片中识别地画，为纳斯卡线条的目的提供了新的见解。)”可知，文章主要讲述了人工智能揭示了纳斯卡线条的新秘密，包括其用途及对未来气候变化的潜在预测作用，所以C选项“AI Unlocks New secrets of the Nazca Linds(人工智能揭开纳斯卡线条的新秘密)”是最佳标题。故选C。 D We live in a culture hooked on winning. Gold medals, bestseller lists, championships, and Nobel Prizes are the markers of glory. The spotlight shines brightest on the people who crossed the finish line first, while those who came close slip into the shadows. But what about the “almosts”? The runner who lost by a hundredth of a second. The inventor who had the right idea at the wrong time. The artists whose works only mattered long after they were gone. These people rarely make the headlines, yet their efforts often bend the world in directions we don’t notice until much later. The truth is, the almosts aren’t failures. They’re the ones testing the edges, reaching further than most dare. Sometimes they push society forward more than the celebrated victors. Nikola Tesla is remembered today as a genius, but during his lifetime, he was largely overshadowed by Thomas Edison. Edison had the success and the fame, while Tesla had bold visions of wireless power, alternating current, and radio that the world couldn’t quite catch up to. He died poor and overlooked. Yet look around: our homes, our transport, even our wireless communication, bear Tesla’s fingerprints. Then there’s Vincent van Gogh. Despite producing over 2,000 artworks, Van Gogh struggled with poverty and mental illness while he was alive. His fame and the value of his work skyrocketed only after his death. Today, his masterpieces are among the most beloved works of art on the planet. His “almost” was the world’s failure to see beauty when it was right in front of them. When we give the “almosts” their due, we loosen the tight grip(掌控) success has on victories and headlines. Winning becomes about the courage to try, fail, and keep going. Think of the small business that collapses, only for its founders to rise from the ashes with an idea that changes everything. Even in art, it’s often the painters and poets who never saw their work celebrated while alive who end up touching souls for generations. The beauty of the “almost” is that it reminds us success is about daring to set out in the first place. It reminds us that effort is valuable even without applause. That struggle itself has meaning because most of us are “almosts” in some part of our lives. Few of us will find ourselves in first place. Yet we matter. The almosts live in the delicate space between shadow and legend, quietly keeping the world forward. 51. The underlined phrase “slip into the shadows” in Paragraph 1 describes those who ________. A. intentionally avoid publicity B. fail to win official recognition C. break world records secretly D. prefer working alone at night 52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Headlines should be edited more accurately. B. Failure is always a stepping-stone to success. C. Competitions should also reward second place. D. “Almosts” often advance society in hidden ways. 53. The examples of Tesla and Van Gogh are particularly effective because they ________. A. are widely identified figures whose stories support the argument B. achieved their greatest accomplishments after winning major prizes C. worked in identical fields and gained recognition from their industry D. were both famous and successful immediately in their own lifetimes 54. What can be inferred from the discussion of small businesses in Paragraph 5? A. Initial failure usually guarantees ultimate success. B. Risky start-ups should be banned by governments. C. Lessons from failure may fuel later breakthroughs. D. Founders should predict any slight chance of failure. 55. Which proverb is the author most likely to challenge? A. Winning isn’t everything but the only thing. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。探讨了在崇尚胜利的文化中，那些“差一点成功”的人(almosts)的价值。 【51题详解】 词句推测题。根据第一段“The spotlight shines brightest on the people who crossed the finish line first, while those who came close slip into the shadows. (聚光灯最耀眼地照在第一个冲过终点线的人身上，而那些接近终点的人则……)”可知，聚光灯聚焦于第一名，而那些接近成功却没拿到第一的人则得不到聚光灯的青睐、而是被忽视，即未能获得官方认可的关注。故选B。 【52题详解】 段落大意题。根据第二段“These people rarely make the headlines, yet their efforts often bend the world in directions we don’t notice until much later. (这些人很少登上头条，但他们的努力经常改变世界，直到很久以后我们才注意到)”可知，第二段说明“差一点成功”的人虽很少登上头版头条，但他们付出的努力常会推动世界发展，只是我们后知后觉，即“差一点成功”的人常以隐秘方式推动社会进步。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Nikola Tesla is remembered today as a genius, but during his lifetime, he was largely overshadowed by Thomas Edison. (尼古拉・特斯拉如今被视为天才，但在他的有生之年，他在很大程度上被托马斯・爱迪生掩盖了光芒)”以及第四段“Then there’s Vincent van Gogh. Despite producing over 2,000 artworks, Van Gogh struggled with poverty and mental illness while he was alive. His fame and the value of his work skyrocketed only after his death. (还有文森特・梵高。尽管梵高创作了2000多幅作品，但他在世时一直与贫困和精神疾病作斗争。他的名气和作品价值在他去世后才急剧上升)”可知，特斯拉和梵高在生前未获认可，死后才被推崇，他们是广为人知的人物，其故事能有力支撑“差一点成功的人价值重大”的论点。故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Think of the small business that collapses, only for its founders to rise from the ashes with an idea that changes everything. (想想那些倒闭的小企业，它的创始人带着一个改变一切的想法从灰烬中崛起)”可知，小企业倒闭后，创始人从失败中崛起并带来变革性想法，说明失败的教训可能催生后续突破。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The beauty of the “almost” is that it reminds us success is about daring to set out in the first place. It reminds us that effort is valuable even without applause. (“差一点成功”的美妙之处在于，它提醒我们，成功首先在于敢于出发。它提醒我们，即使没有掌声，努力也是有价值的)”以及通读全文可知，作者强调胜利不是一切，A选项“胜利不是一切，但却是唯一的事情”与作者观点相悖，作者最可能挑战这一说法。故选A。 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题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 I was in a shopping mall recently, so I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an older gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch stretched out in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather evident that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it. I then joined the line and waited to be served. Then it happened. One of the most beautiful gestures I have ever seen in my life. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. Then the young man handed the server a twenty-dollar bill and requested an orange juice, as well as a favour. The server looked at the young man a little perplexed, not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the older gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench, as well as the change from the girl except her tip. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Subsequently, there was a wonderful exchange between the server and the older man in need of some attention. I only wish I had a photo of the smiles on both of their faces. As I was pondering this event later on, I wondered to myself why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this older man as well. Absolutely beautiful! There are many ways of thinking when we encounter someone like this older gentleman, in need of kindness and attention. Perhaps he’s just simply lazy and didn’t work hard enough in his life. Or he should have gone to school and made more of himself. But just maybe he needs a little helping hand. Thank God for this young man who inspired the others to goodness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words this young man told the server was, “There go I, but by the Grace of God.” 56. What did the writer notice about the older gentleman when going to the coffee shop?(no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?(1 word) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. How did the young man help the old man?(no more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 59. Why didn’t the young man do the act of kindness-himself in the author’s eyes?(no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 60 Will you help others who are in need of help? And why?(no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. The older gentleman was poorly dressed, eating his lunch alone, and had a problem with his right eye. 57. Confused/Surprised/Puzzled. 58. He paid for an orange juice and asked the server to give it and the change to the old man. 59. Because he wanted to inspire others to help the older man. 60. Yes, I will. Because others may really need help from me and I’m inspired by the young man from the passage. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述一个年轻人主动买饮料，并让收营员把饮料和找零送给一个老人的故事。他的行为激励别人也为这位老人做一些善事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an older gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch stretched out in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather evident that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it.(在前往咖啡店的路上，我注意到一位衣着破旧的老先生坐在附近的长椅上。我一眼就看出他需要某种帮助。他面前摆放着一份简单的午餐，正全神贯注地享用着。很明显，他的右眼有问题，可能已经看不见了)”可知，当去咖啡店时，作者注意到了这位老先生衣衫褴褛，一个人吃午饭，右眼也有毛病。故回答：The older gentleman was poorly dressed, eating his lunch alone, and had a problem with his right eye. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据下文“not fully understanding the request.(没有完全理解他的要求)”可知，这位服务员对这个年轻人提出的要求感到有一些困惑。由此可知，perplexed意为“困惑的”。故回答：Confused/Surprised/Puzzled. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. Then the young man handed the server a twenty-dollar bill and requested an orange juice, as well as a favour. The server looked at the young man a little perplexed, not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the older gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench, as well as the change from the girl except her tip.(在我前面排队等着点餐的还有一位年轻人。接着，这个年轻人递给服务员一张二十美元的钞票，点了一杯橙汁，还提了一个请求。服务员一脸困惑地看着他，没完全明白他的意思。就在这时，年轻人请她把那杯橙汁送给外面长椅上正在吃午餐的老先生，并且把找零（除了她应得的小费）也一并给老先生)”可知，年轻人付了一杯橙汁的钱，让服务员把钱和找零都给了老人。故回答：He paid for an orange juice and asked the server to give it and the change to the old man. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段“I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this older man as well.(我猜想，在他内心深处，他希望这一善举能激励其他人也为这位老人做点什么)”可知，在作者眼中，这个年轻人没有自己去把饮料和钱送给老人，是因为他想激励别人去帮助这位老人。故回答：Because he wanted to inspire others to help the older man. 【60题详解】 考查开放性试题。面对生活中需要帮助的人，我会选择帮助他。因为其他人可能真的需要帮助，并且我受到了文章中年轻人的鼓励。故回答：Yes, I will. Because others may really need help from me and I’m inspired by the young man from the passage. 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。你在某社交媒体上刷到一位名为Chris的外国网友发布的“九三阅兵”短视频。视频中可以看到整齐的徒步方阵、威武的军事装备，视频配文写道：“The parade is amazing, but I wonder if such a grand display might increase global tensions.”请你按照以下提示用英语给Chris留言： 1.肯定阅兵的震撼； 2.解释阅兵的意义； 3.邀请他来中国亲身感受和平氛围。 参考词汇： “九三阅兵”V-day Military parade 徒步方队 foot formations 中国人民抗日战争 the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression 注意： 1.词数不少于100词； 2.可适当加入细节，以使行文连贯； 3.留言的开头已为你写好，不计入词数。 Hi, Chris! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Hi, Chris!
