(我们很高兴介绍《课堂使用新闻》：这是一份周刊，包含一则新闻及基于该新闻的活动，你可将其用作热身、过渡或收尾任务。)”以及INTRO部分中的“You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news. (根据这则特定新闻配套的活动安排，你或许需要向学生宣读它，或者它也可能成为你的参考依据。)”以及ACTIVITY 部分中的“You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news. (你或许需要把它读给学生听，或者它也可能成为你的参考依据 —— 具体如何使用，取决于与这则特定新闻搭配的活动是什么。)”可知，文中多次出现“你的学生”、“教学”等与教师相关的表述，由此可推断，该文本的目标读者是教师。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stories covered in the newsletter range from breaking news to more evergreen content which you will be able to go back to according to your students’ needs.(该周刊涵盖的新闻故事从突发新闻到长期适用的内容不等，你可根据学生需求反复使用这些内容。)”可知，周刊包含可反复使用的内容，即提供可重复利用的阅读材料。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据ACTIVITY 部分中的“If you teach lower-level students, use the easier questions or just ask students to say what they think about the news. (如果您教授水平较低的学生（初学者），可以使用较简单的问题，或者直接让学生说出他们对这则新闻的看法。)”可知，向初学者推荐的活动是让他们表达自己的观点。故选C项。 B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’ workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述牛津某小学的校长Tina Farr在学校推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，调整教学环境，促进学生健康发展并取得良好效果的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.”(该校五年级学生（年龄在 9 至 10 岁之间）曾难以在狭小空间里安静坐好，于是她移除了所有家具。“效果立竿见影，十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。”)”可知，Farr为学校带来的改变是灵活的学习环境。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Farr had long changed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognize what we do and it doesn’t take any motto planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”(Farr长期以来一直倡导游戏的价值，并努力推动游戏融入课间休息时间。“老师们会认可我们所做的事，而且相比常规方法，这种方式并不需要额外的规划。”在为她所带的一年级和二年级学生落实好游戏化学习后，Farr接着开始审视其他方面，试图找出那些行不通的做法并进行改进。“如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展规律，我们为什么还要坚持呢？”)”以及第四段中调整家具后学生专注力和自我调节能力提升的效果可知，Farr推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，主要是为了促进孩子的健康和成长。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”(“效果立竿见影，且十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。” 一位老师这样写道：“孩子们的自我调节能力有了很大提升，他们能更主动地静下心来学习了。”)”可知，新的座位安排（灵活的学习环境）让学生更专注了。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. (六月份，这所学校顺利通过了英国教育标准局（Ofsted）的检查。“检查员完全理解我们的游戏化学习模式。”Farr 表示，她的教学方法是可以推广的。“孩子们的投入程度让我非常惊喜，太了不起了。” 她说。)”可知，该段主要通过学校通过检查、检查员认可、学生进步显著等内容，体现Farr推行的方法的有效性。故选D项。 C Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought. Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking. 8. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance. C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines. 9. How does “digital microscope” function in the research? A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs. C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought. C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning. 11. Which of the following titles best suits this text? A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究人员通过“数字显微镜”探究AI（如Claude）的思维机制，揭示其提前规划、概念理解及推理问题，并提及研究意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.(想象一下你正在写诗，在开始新的一行之前，必须先搭配好押韵词。事实证明，人工智能也会做类似的事情！当大型语言模型（LLM）克劳德（Claude）得到第一行文字“he saw a carrot and had to grab it”（他看到一根胡萝卜，不得不抓住它）时，它几乎立刻就开始思考像“rabbit”（兔子）这样的词，并写出下一个句子，使其结尾有合适的押韵词。)”可知，作者以AI写诗提前思考押韵词为例，是为了说明AI能提前规划句子。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.(这个被称为“数字显微镜”的工具，能让科学家观察到人工智能在处理不同任务时，其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活。如果大型语言模型（LLM）的某个特定区域在生成“rabbit”（兔子）这类词时总会被激活，那么该区域就会被标记为与“兔子”相关。)”可知，“数字显微镜”通过追踪AI的思维活动（神经网络激活情况）发挥作用。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.(当要求克劳德（Claude）进行推理，输出其思考过程来解答数学问题时，“数字显微镜”显示，该模型声称得出结论的方式与其实际思考过程可能并不总是一致的。更糟糕的是，若提出一个诱导性问题——暗示答案“可能是4”，即便这个暗示是错误的，它也会特意添加数字，最终得出与该问题暗示一致的结论。)”可知，Claude可能会编造思考过程或结果来迎合错误暗示，即“可能会编造内容”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks.(这个被称为“数字显微镜”的工具，能让科学家观察到人工智能在处理不同任务时，其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活。)”以及最后一段中的“But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future.(但能够深入了解大型语言模型（LLM）的“思维”，为未来找到阻止它出现类似问题的方法提供了线索。)”可知，文章围绕通过“数字显微镜”探究AI的“思维”展开，“探究AI的内心（思维）”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 D Can you tell fact from fiction online? In a digital world, few questions are more challenging than fighting misinformation. As an education researcher and former high school history teacher, I know that history class can stimulate critical thinking — but only if teachers and schools understand what it really means. Some might consider critical thinking an ability that teachers can encourage. Or they might be referring to specific skills — for instance, that students should learn a set of steps to take to assess information online. Cognitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind of reasoning that involves problem-solving and making sound judgments. It can be learned, but it relies on specific content knowledge. Since context is key to critical thinking, learning to analyze information about current events likely requires knowledge about politics and history, as well as practice at tracing sources. Fortunately, that is what social studies classes are for. Social studies researchers often describe this kind of critical thinking as “historical thinking”: a way to evaluate evidence about the past and assess its reliability. In social studies classroom students can make relatively quick progress on some of the surface features of historical thinking, such as learning to check a text’s date and author. Social studies classrooms can also build what researchers call “civic online reasoning.” Fact-checking is complex. It is not enough to tell young people that they should be careful online, or to trust sites that end in “.org” instead of “.com.” Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues. Therefore, the solution lies not in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditional social studies education that combines background knowledge with analytical capabilities. Only then can we effectively prepare students to distinguish truth from fiction in our digital world. 12. How does the writer view critical thinking? A. It naturally develops over time. B. It is a kind of step-by-step learning. C. It is a form of content-based reasoning. D. It improves with teachers’ encouragement. 13. Why can social studies encourage critical thinking? A. They focus on past evidence. B. They question general principles. C. They develop fact-checking skills. D. They provide trustworthy websites. 14. Which can be considered “civic online reasoning” according to the text? A. Trusting online news without tracing sources. B. Assessing public matters via fact-checking. C. Dismissing social media as unreliable. D. Employing AI to spread news stories. 15. What solution does the author suggest? A. Applying traditional social skills. B. Highlighting historical knowledge. C. Emphasizing social studies learning. D. Teaching communication techniques. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨在线辨别事实与虚构的难题，提出批判性思维需依托特定知识，且传统社会科教育是培养该思维的关键。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cognitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind of reasoning that involves problem-solving and making sound judgments. It can be learned, but it relies on specific content knowledge.(认知科学家将批判性思维视为一种特定的推理方式，它涉及解决问题和做出合理判断。它是可以学习的，但它依赖于特定的内容知识。)”可知，作者（结合认知科学家观点）认为批判性思维是依赖特定内容知识的推理形式，即基于内容的推理。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since context is key to critical thinking, learning to analyze information about current events likely requires knowledge about politics and history, as well as practice at tracing sources. Fortunately, that is what social studies classes are for.(由于背景知识是批判性思维的关键，学习分析时事信息可能需要政治和历史知识，以及追溯信息来源的实践。幸运的是，这正是社会科课程的作用所在。)”及第五段中的“Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues.(公民在线推理并非让学生学习有关网络媒体的一般原则，而是教给他们评估政治和社会问题相关信息的特定技能。)”可知，社会科课程能培养事实核查（如追溯来源、评估信息）的技能，从而促进批判性思维。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues. (公民在线推理并非教授有关网络媒体的通用原则，而是培养学生评估政治和社会议题相关信息的特定技能。)”可知，公民在线推理是通过特定技能评估与公共事务相关的信息，即通过事实核查评估公共事务。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Therefore, the solution lies not in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditional social studies education that combines background knowledge with analytical capabilities.(因此，解决办法不在于将批判性思维作为一项独立技能来教授，而在于维护和加强传统的社会科教育，这种教育将背景知识与分析能力结合起来。)”可知，作者建议的解决办法是重视社会科学习。故选C项。 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。 Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. ____16____ Here are some tips from leading art collectors on how to develop your taste.

As he grew his personal collection, Cheng approached art not for its potential financial gain, but rather how it makes him feel. ____19____ Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood. Study the art market, but not too closely.____20____ While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators. A. Artists are the lifeblood of the art world. B. Then in time, you will find something that you love. C. These provide a wealth of places to engage with art. D. I always go to museums and galleries to see art exhibitions. E. That physical response shows more than any trend ever could. F. Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks. G. Online markets have overturned how people appreciate and buy art. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕如何培养艺术品味展开，介绍了多观看艺术作品、关注艺术带来的身体感受、与艺术家建立联系、理性看待艺术市场等方法，强调培养艺术品味是个人旅程，核心在于与艺术作品建立真诚的个人联结。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. (无论你是为家里购买艺术品，还是在画廊和博物馆欣赏艺术品，培养自己的品味都是一段个人旅程。世界上有无数的商业画廊、博物馆，以及像社交媒体这样越来越容易接触到的平台。)”可知，此处应说明这些场所和平台的作用，即提供接触艺术的渠道，C选项“These provide a wealth of places to engage with art. (这些为人们提供了大量接触艺术的场所。)”中的“These”指代前文提到的“commercial galleries, museums, social media”，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. (培养艺术兴趣最可靠的方法之一就是尽可能多地欣赏艺术作品。去看博物馆展览和画廊展览，阅读艺术杂志。即使是你从未感兴趣的艺术时期的展览，也要去看看。你会学会欣赏艺术品的品质，也会逐渐看出优秀的艺术作品是什么样的。)”可知，此处应说明多接触艺术后最终的结果，即找到自己喜欢的艺术，B选项“Then in time, you will find something that you love. (然后久而久之，你会找到自己喜欢的东西。)”符合语境，承接前文多接触艺术的建议，指出最终会有收获。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach. (培养艺术品味的过程涉及多个层面，远不止简单的视觉欣赏。“我会静下心来感受这件艺术品，关注它在我身体里引起的反应——比如喉咙的感觉、胃部的感觉。)”可知，此处应进一步说明这种身体反应的意义，E选项“That physical response shows more than any trend ever could. (这种身体反应比任何潮流都更能说明问题。)”中的“That physical response”指代前文“how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach”，符合语境，解释了关注身体感受在培养艺术品味中的重要性。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据空后的“Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood. (了解他们和他们的故事，可以丰富你作为收藏者和艺术爱好者的体验。直接与艺术家接触，能与艺术品建立起个人联结，让这件作品不仅被看到，更被理解。)”可知，此处应强调艺术家的重要性，A选项“Artists are the lifeblood of the art world. (艺术家是艺术界的命脉。)”中的“Artists”对应空后“them”以及“the artists”符合语境，引出下文关于与艺术家建立联系的内容。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Study the art market, but not too closely. (研究艺术市场，但不要过于深入。)”以及空后的“While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators. (虽然了解市场动态可能有帮助，但艺术欣赏中最有价值的部分，来自于与艺术品及其创作者建立真诚的个人联结。)”可知，此处应说明艺术市场研究与个人联结的关系，即市场研究处于次要地位，F选项“Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks. (与艺术品建立个人联结比市场研究更重要。)”符合语境，承接前文“不要过于深入研究市场”的建议，与后文强调个人联结的重要性相呼应。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I used to be an angry person.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she would feel jealous (妒忌的) and want to buy something better. Her parents often told her, “True value isn’t in what you own,” but she never listened. One day, Lily noticed a girl from another class, whose name was Mary. Mary’s family was wealthy, but she always wore simple clothes and carried an old schoolbag. Unlike Lily, Mary never joined in the students’ discussions about brands or prices. Instead, she spent her time helping classmates with math problems or volunteering in the school library. Her grades were always at the top of the class, and everyone respected (尊重) her. Lily couldn’t understand why Mary didn’t care about material things. One afternoon, Lily saw Mary sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. She decided to talk to her. “Why don’t you buy nicer things?” Lily asked. “Your family has enough money.” Mary looked up with a smile.“I’d rather spend money on things that matter,” she said. “Like helping others or buying books.” That night, Lily thought about Mary’s words. She realized that she had been looking for things that didn’t bring real happiness. The next day, she made a decision: she would stop comparing herself with others and start focusing on what truly mattered. 注 意 ： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 The following week, Lily began to learn from Mary. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The following week, Lily began to learn from Mary. She stopped begging her parents for expensive items and instead used her pocket money to buy a few second-hand books, which she shared with classmates who couldn’t afford new ones. When she saw someone struggling with homework, she would sit down patiently and help, just like Mary did. During lunch breaks, instead of talking about brand-new sneakers or phones, she joined Mary in the library, organizing books and helping younger students find what they needed. At first, she felt a little shy, but seeing the smiles on others’ faces warmed her heart. Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. Her grades had jumped from average to top 10, and she organized a weekly study group that helped half the class improve. At the school’s volunteer day, she led a team to clean the community park, laughing as she picked up litter with classmates. “Lily’s heart is as bright as her smile now,” her math teacher said in class. Her parents, seeing her donate old clothes to charity, hugged her tightly. Lily finally understood: true value lies not in what you have, but in what you give. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了高中生莉莉原本爱与他人攀比物质，在看到同学玛丽虽家境富裕却专注于帮助他人和学习后，深受触动并决定改变自己的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来的一周，莉莉开始向玛丽学习。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉开始学习玛丽后具体的行为表现。她不再执着于让父母买昂贵物品，而是把零花钱用于买二手书分享给同学，主动去帮助同学解决作业难题，还和玛丽一起在图书馆帮忙整理书籍、帮助低年级学生找书等。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，老师和同学们都称赞莉莉。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉做出改变后的成果体现。包括成绩提升进入班级前10，组织学习小组帮助很多同学提高成绩，在学校志愿者日带领团队清理社区公园等，以及老师、父母对她改变的认可，最终莉莉领悟到真正价值的所在。 2.续写线索：决定学习玛丽——具体行为改变——过程感受—— 老师和同学们都称赞——继续行动—— 自身领悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy /purchase ②帮助：help /aid ③组织：organize /arrange ④捐赠：donate /contribute 情绪类 ①害羞的：shy/bashful ②耐心地：patiently/with patience 【点睛】【高分句型1】She stopped begging her parents for expensive items and instead used her pocket money to buy a few second-hand books, which she shared with classmates who couldn’t afford new ones.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句以及who引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】At the school’s volunteer day, she led a team to clean the community park, laughing as she picked up litter with classmates.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第一学期期中考试 高一英语试题 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分别分） 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.

B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’ workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. C Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought. Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking. 8. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance. C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines. 9. How does “digital microscope” function in the research? A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs. C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought. C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning. 11. Which of the following titles best suits this text? A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots D Can you tell fact from fiction online? In a digital world, few questions are more challenging than fighting misinformation. As an education researcher and former high school history teacher, I know that history class can stimulate critical thinking — but only if teachers and schools understand what it really means. Some might consider critical thinking an ability that teachers can encourage. Or they might be referring to specific skills — for instance, that students should learn a set of steps to take to assess information online. Cognitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind of reasoning that involves problem-solving and making sound judgments. It can be learned, but it relies on specific content knowledge. Since context is key to critical thinking, learning to analyze information about current events likely requires knowledge about politics and history, as well as practice at tracing sources. Fortunately, that is what social studies classes are for. Social studies researchers often describe this kind of critical thinking as “historical thinking”: a way to evaluate evidence about the past and assess its reliability. In social studies classroom students can make relatively quick progress on some of the surface features of historical thinking, such as learning to check a text’s date and author. Social studies classrooms can also build what researchers call “civic online reasoning.” Fact-checking is complex. It is not enough to tell young people that they should be careful online, or to trust sites that end in “.org” instead of “.com.” Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues. Therefore, the solution lies not in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditional social studies education that combines background knowledge with analytical capabilities. Only then can we effectively prepare students to distinguish truth from fiction in our digital world. 12. How does the writer view critical thinking? A. It naturally develops over time. B. It is a kind of step-by-step learning. C. It is a form of content-based reasoning. D. It improves with teachers’ encouragement. 13. Why can social studies encourage critical thinking? A. They focus on past evidence. B. They question general principles. C. They develop fact-checking skills. D. They provide trustworthy websites. 14. Which can be considered “civic online reasoning” according to the text? A. Trusting online news without tracing sources. B. Assessing public matters via fact-checking. C. Dismissing social media as unreliable. D. Employing AI to spread news stories. 15. What solution does the author suggest? A. Applying traditional social skills. B. Highlighting historical knowledge. C. Emphasizing social studies learning. D. Teaching communication techniques. 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。 Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she would feel jealous (妒忌的) and want to buy something better. Her parents often told her, “True value isn’t in what you own,” but she never listened. One day, Lily noticed a girl from another class, whose name was Mary. Mary’s family was wealthy, but she always wore simple clothes and carried an old schoolbag. Unlike Lily, Mary never joined in the students’ discussions about brands or prices. Instead, she spent her time helping classmates with math problems or volunteering in the school library. Her grades were always at the top of the class, and everyone respected (尊重) her. Lily couldn’t understand why Mary didn’t care about material things. One afternoon, Lily saw Mary sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. She decided to talk to her. “Why don’t you buy nicer things?” Lily asked. “Your family has enough money.” Mary looked up with a smile.“I’d rather spend money on things that matter,” she said. “Like helping others or buying books.” That night, Lily thought about Mary’s words. She realized that she had been looking for things that didn’t bring real happiness. The next day, she made a decision: she would stop comparing herself with others and start focusing on what truly mattered. 注 意 ： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 The following week, Lily began to learn from Mary. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
