Rising Temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures. Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways: A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat. These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future. 1. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour? A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN. D. HOW. 2. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties? A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat. 3. What should be done in the future? A. To help the farmers in need. B. To adopt the three methods. C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了气候变化对全球粮食生产的影响以及农民应对气候变暖的四种主要方式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。原文思维导图中WHEN部分“Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.(调整种植日期无需额外投入成本或增加工作量。)”可知，如果农民资金和劳动力短缺，可选择调整种植时间。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.(小麦和水稻——得益于大气中二氧化碳含量的增加 —— 产量可能会有所提升，而玉米和高粱则会因气温升高导致产量下降。)”和灰色柱状图中的最高数值是Rice的15%可知，在仅改变作物品种的情况下，稻米（Rice）的产量增幅是最大的。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future.(如果特定地区的农民——特别是那些粮食最不安全的地区——无法适应气候变化，这仍然是一个主要问题。因此，未来我们还可以做更多。)”可知，未来应该帮助有需要的农民，特别是那些粮食最不安全的地区的农民。故选A。 B My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 4. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 5. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 6. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者一家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，通过参与栖息地修复、森林恢复等相关志愿活动，既为当地环境和社区作出贡献，也让自身旅行更具意义，还介绍了不同岛屿的mālama实践及当地人对该理念的解读。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(在这里，我们了解到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，该理念鼓励游客通过栖息地修复、海滩清理或物资供给等活动，回馈环境和当地社区。但mālama不止于生态旅游——它意味着让一个地方比你发现它时更好。)”可知，作者在第一段围绕mālama理念，先介绍其定义，再说明其内涵，是通过解释概念来呈现主题的。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay.(在夏威夷群岛，随处可见mālama志愿者体验活动。例如在毛伊岛，您可以参与修复原生森林，或在植物苗圃担任志愿者；而在瓦胡岛，游客可以清理马努努阿湾的入侵藻类。)”可知，mālama志愿者能参与恢复当地森林的活动。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations.(我们见到了格雷格・索拉塔里奥，他的家族世世代代都在照料这片土地。)”可知，格雷格的家族长期保护这片土地。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(我们全家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到了古老的“mālama(关爱)”理念。这个概念倡导游客通过修复生态栖息地、清洁海滩、捐赠食物等方式回馈当地环境与社区。但mālama的内涵远不止于生态旅游——其核心在于让每个到访之地因你的到来而变得更加美好)”可知，文章核心是作者一家践行mālama理念，通过志愿活动让夏威夷(他们所喜爱的旅行地)变得更好，同时自身旅行也更有意义，体现“改善所喜爱的事物”的内涵。选项 A“The wise improve what they enjoy(智者会改善他们所喜爱的事物)”符合这一主旨。故选A。 C Children are born with the curiosity to explore. Yet over time they are becoming less curious about science. Why? This loss of interest may be partly the result of language cues (提示) children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from school teachers who treat science as an identity rather than actions. When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today!” or “You’re such a good scientist!”. But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.” One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical (刻板印象的) belief that science is reserved for only certain-kinds of people emerges surprisingly early. By the first grade, when asked to draw a scientist, children tend to draw a white man. The good news is that language cues can also be directed to promote engagement with science. Describing science as actions that we take, for example, seems to protect young children’s interest in science over time. But it’s also true that teenagers are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its demoralizing effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In another study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades. Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science. 8. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Inappropriate. B. Impolite. C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging. 9. Why was action-focused language especially effective to young girls? A. Because it avoids identity conflict in girls’ mind. B. Because stereotypical belief is reserved for girls. C. Because it enhances girls’ engagement in science. D. Because it shows the activity is designed for girls. 10. What may be the author’s suggestion for parents and teachers? A. To treat language as cues. B. To use identity-focused language. C. To adopt flexible strategies. D. To help teenagers form identities. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Is Action Better than Identity? B. How Do Parents Raise Young Scientists? C. How Does Age Affect Science Learning? D. What Affects Children’s Interest in Science? 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍儿童对科学的好奇心下降的原因，以及不同语言提示对不同年龄段儿童科学兴趣的影响，并给出相应建议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.”(但这种以身份为核心的语言，将科学视为一种身份，而非人们所做的活动和行动，可能会对幼儿造成demoralizing影响。一项研究表明，4岁的孩子，尤其是女孩，当参与科学活动的提示是“让我们做科学”而不是“让我们成为科学家”时，能保持更长时间的兴趣。)”可知，以身份为核心的语言会让幼儿难以保持兴趣，因此“demoralizing”意为“令人气馁的”。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.”(一种可能性是，当想到科学家时，孩子们可能会想到一个白人男性。如果他们没有这种身份认同，就会对为“科学家”设计的活动失去兴趣。)”以及第二段中行动导向语言让幼儿（尤其女孩）保持兴趣的研究结果可知，行动导向语言对女孩特别有效，是因为它避免了女孩心中的身份冲突。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science.(因此，成年人最好对不同年龄段的孩子使用不同的语言提示，以保持他们对科学的好奇心。)”可知，作者建议家长和老师采用灵活的策略，针对不同年龄段儿童使用不同语言提示。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段提出儿童对科学好奇心下降的问题及部分原因（语言提示），第二段对比不同语言提示对幼儿的影响，第三段解释身份导向语言产生负面影响的原因，第四段说明语言提示对青少年的积极影响，最后给出针对不同年龄段儿童使用不同语言提示的建议，由此可知，全文围绕“什么影响儿童对科学的兴趣”展开，因此D项“什么影响儿童对科学的兴趣？”适合作为标题。故选D项。 D As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers. “We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’” If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide. “Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity. The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support. It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says. 12. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess? A. Ignoring the potential of AI. B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority. C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose. D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency. 13. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abandoning. B. Stressing. C. Admitting. D. Assessing. 14. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design? A. Enhancing algorithm complexity. B. Reducing human dependence on AI. C. Considering human-AI interaction. D. Improving AI’s independent capability. 15. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show? A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful. B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate. C. No algorithmic support was completely the best. D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了如何将人工智能（AI）有效地融入我们的生活和工作。斯坦福大学商学院的副教授Jann Spiess认为当前关于AI的讨论过于关注AI是否优于人类，而应关注AI与人类的互补性。他提出了互补性设计框架，并通过实验证明互补性算法在招聘决策中效果最佳，展示了AI在资源有限环境中的应用潜力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’(“我们对人工智能及其能力的讨论真的是错位的，因为讨论的都是‘人工智能是否比人类更好’”，他继续说道。“我认为我们应该问的是，‘人工智能有哪些互补性的用途？’”)”可知，Spiess认为当前关于AI的辩论主要问题在于过于强调AI的优越性，而没有关注其互补性用途。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide(如果用户过于依赖算法，他们可能会忽略算法可能不知道的相关背景或信息。另一方面，如果用户认为建议过于复杂或不相关，他们可能会完全忽略这些建议，forgoing算法建议可能提供的任何优势)”可知，前后句是对比关系，前半句说用户过于依赖算法会忽略相关信息，后半句说用户认为建议复杂或不相关就会完全忽略这些建议，也就是不再考虑算法建议可能带来的优势，所以“forgoing”意思是“放弃”，与A项“Abandoning”意思一致。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations—and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity(“因此，最佳的算法应当考虑到人类将如何与其所提供的信息进行交互，”施皮斯说道。在最近的一篇论文中，施皮斯概述了一个概念性的设计框架模型，用于模拟人类对算法推荐的响应方式——并提出了一种构建人工智能工具的不同方法。这种方法被称为“互补性”)”可知，Spiess认为有效的人工智能设计的关键在于考虑人类与人工智能的交互。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support(使用互补性算法的人——在人类可能不确定或错误的情况下提供选择性建议——做出了最准确的决策，优于使用纯粹预测性算法的人和不使用算法支持的人)”可知，关于招聘决策的实验表明，互补性算法非常有效。故选D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，从短文后的选项中迭出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Paris is an ideal travel destination with its food, wine, shopping complexes and sightseeing spots. ____16____ Actually it is possible to have a good time without spending a lot. Forget the large international hotels in the centre. Instead, get off the main streets. There are many hotels just two blocks away from the main tourist attractions, which cost as little as US $35 a night each, including breakfast. ____17____ But who needs more when the point of the trip is to be out in the streets? The real bonus is living among French people and experiencing their life. Seek out small, local cafes when you want a meal. They are at every street corner in the less fancy parts of town. Choose from the fixed-price dinner menus posted outside these cafes. Many have prices as low as US $9 or US $10. Drinks with meals are more expensive, especially beer and quality wine. But there are some reasonable alternatives. House wine is good: perhaps a couple of dollars per carafe (喇叭瓶). Coffee, thick and lovely, costs US $2.50 a cup. ____18____ Getting around Paris is easy and inexpensive. Walking is the best way to feel the street-life but when you start to tire, take the train. Subway tickets for anywhere across the city cost around a dollar a trip and even less if you buy a multiple-ticket book. ____19____ All the maps and signposts are easy to understand. ____20____ Passes can be bought at major subway stations and elsewhere. The Louvre is an absolute must to visit. The Eiffel Tower gives a great view of the city for less than US $10. You can’t miss the street architecture, the surrounding atmosphere and the daily goings-on in Paris. More importantly, they cost nothing or little to explore and experience. A. The system is quick and efficient. B. The breakfast features a local flavor. C. But some people are worried about the high cost. D. The admissions to Paris’ attractions are not costly. E. Quality wine and tasty food are tough on the budget. F. The rooms with small bathrooms are clean and basic. G. That totals less than $15 per person for dinner and drinks. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在巴黎低成本旅行的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Paris is an ideal travel destination with its food, wine, shopping complexes and sightseeing spots. (巴黎是理想的旅游目的地，有美食、美酒、购物中心和景点。)”以及下文“Actually it is possible to have a good time without spending a lot. (实际上，不用花很多钱也能玩得很开心。)”可知，此空需承接上文对巴黎的赞美，引出“担心花费高”的顾虑，再用下文转折消除顾虑。C选项“But some people are worried about the high cost. (但有些人担心费用太高。)”中的“but”形成转折，既呼应上文“理想旅游地”，又为下文“低成本游玩”做铺垫，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“There are many hotels just two blocks away from the main tourist attractions, which cost as little as US $35 a night each, including breakfast. (主景点附近两个街区内有很多酒店，每晚价格低至35美元，还含早餐。)”以及下文“But who needs more when the point of the trip is to be out in the streets? (但旅行的重点是在街上逛，谁还需要更多（设施）呢？)”可知，此空需描述低价酒店的设施情况，且与下文“不需要更多设施”形成衔接。F选项“The rooms with small bathrooms are clean and basic. (带小浴室的房间干净且设施基础。)”既说明低价酒店的具体条件，又呼应下文“不需要更多设施”的观点，符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Many have prices as low as US $9 or US $10. Drinks with meals are more expensive, especially beer and quality wine. But there are some reasonable alternatives. House wine is good: perhaps a couple of dollars per carafe (喇叭瓶). Coffee, thick and lovely, costs US $2.50 a cup. (很多（咖啡馆）的套餐价格低至9或10美元。餐配饮品更贵，尤其是啤酒和优质葡萄酒，但有性价比高的选择。家酿葡萄酒不错，大概每瓶几美元。浓郁美味的咖啡每杯2.5美元。)”可知，此空需计算晚餐加饮品的总费用，总结低价就餐的优势。G选项“That totals less than $15 per person for dinner and drinks. (这样算下来，每人晚餐加饮品总共不到15美元。)”中的“that”指代上文的餐费和饮品费，通过具体金额体现低成本，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Subway tickets for anywhere across the city cost around a dollar a trip and even less if you buy a multiple-ticket book. (全城任意地点的地铁单程票约1美元，买联票更便宜。)”以及下文“All the maps and signposts are easy to understand. (所有地图和路标都很易懂。)”可知，此空需补充地铁系统的优点，衔接票价与便捷性。A选项“The system is quick and efficient. (这个系统快捷高效。)”中的“the system”指代巴黎地铁，既说明地铁的优势，又与下文“路标易懂”共同体现交通便捷，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Passes can be bought at major subway stations and elsewhere. The Louvre is an absolute must to visit. The Eiffel Tower gives a great view of the city for less than US $10. You can’t miss the street architecture, the surrounding atmosphere and the daily goings-on in Paris. More importantly, they cost nothing or little to explore and experience. (通票可在主要地铁站及其他地方购买。卢浮宫是绝对必去的景点。花不到10美元登上埃菲尔铁塔，就能将整座城市的美景尽收眼底。巴黎的街头建筑、周边氛围以及日常百态都不容你错过。更重要的是，探索和体验这些事物几乎不花钱，或者只需花很少的钱。)”可知，本段围绕“巴黎景点费用低”展开，此空应作为段落开头，点明主题。D选项“The admissions to Paris’ attractions are not costly. (巴黎景点的门票并不贵。)”直接概括主题，与下文“埃菲尔铁塔不到10美元、街头建筑免费”的内容一致，符合语境。故选D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。 Chandra was born in a small town. ____21____ other children, she was half paralyzed (瘫痪的) below the waist.

Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place. Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place. But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile. And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite? That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers. A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on my world here started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】（116+115词） At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors. Soon, students and teachers gathered, curiosity in their eyes. I welcomed them with a smile and demonstrated: fold, cut, unfold — and a butterfly spread its wings. A wave of surprise rippled through the crowd. Encouraged, I invited a boy to try; his star turned out uneven, yet drew laughter and applause. More joined eagerly, and I moved among them, guiding their hands, praising their efforts and celebrating each creation. When a teacher proudly held up her paper flower, the cheers grew louder. Red pieces fell to the floor, and my confidence, once hidden, shone through every new pattern. From that day on, my world here started to change. In the hallway, students waved butterflies from my stand and greeted me with bright “Ni hao!” My heart lifted as I waved back. In literature class, I gave voice to my ideas with newfound confidence. My English was not flawless, yet my voice was steady, and instead of silence I saw nods and smiles. After class, a girl asked softly, “Can you show us more about your culture?” Her words lingered in my heart, echoing like a gentle reminder. In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为交换生到新西兰的一个小镇，虽做好了应对各种困难的准备，但仍因小事感到不适应。在寄宿家庭中，威尔逊一家给予温暖支持；但在学校，作者在课堂讨论和文化场景中遭遇交流困境，陷入文化困惑。后来，老师宣布举办文化节，作者虽担心无法用英语分享传统文化，但还是报名并全身心投入准备。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“文化节那天，我站在自己的摊位后，既紧张又满怀期待。”可知，第一段可描写作者精心准备并教周围人剪纸的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，我在这里的生活开始悄然改变。”可知，第二段可描写文化节对作者的生活产生的影响以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：摆放材料——吸引师生——展示剪纸艺术——教大家剪纸——受他人反馈鼓励——隐藏的自信逐渐显露——自我价值反思 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①赞美：praise/speak highly of ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②渴望地：eagerly/longingly 【点睛】[高分句型1]Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句，过去分词短语作后置定语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 泉州七中2025-2026学年度上学期高三年期中考试 英语 试卷 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Rising Temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures. Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways: A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat. These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future. 1. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour? A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN. D. HOW. 2. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties? A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat. 3. What should be done in the future? A. To help the farmers in need. B. To adopt the three methods. C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions. B My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 4. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 5. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 6 What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C Children are born with the curiosity to explore. Yet over time they are becoming less curious about science. Why? This loss of interest may be partly the result of language cues (提示) children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from school teachers who treat science as an identity rather than actions. When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today!” or “You’re such a good scientist!”. But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.” One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical (刻板印象的) belief that science is reserved for only certain-kinds of people emerges surprisingly early. By the first grade, when asked to draw a scientist, children tend to draw a white man. The good news is that language cues can also be directed to promote engagement with science. Describing science as actions that we take, for example, seems to protect young children’s interest in science over time. But it’s also true that teenagers are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its demoralizing effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In another study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades. Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science. 8. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Inappropriate. B. Impolite. C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging. 9. Why was action-focused language especially effective to young girls? A. Because it avoids identity conflict in girls’ mind. B. Because stereotypical belief is reserved for girls. C. Because it enhances girls’ engagement in science. D. Because it shows the activity is designed for girls. 10. What may be the author’s suggestion for parents and teachers? A. To treat language as cues. B. To use identity-focused language. C. To adopt flexible strategies. D. To help teenagers form identities. 11 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Is Action Better than Identity? B. How Do Parents Raise Young Scientists? C. How Does Age Affect Science Learning? D. What Affects Children’s Interest in Science? D As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers. “We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’” If users rely too heavily on an algorithm they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide. “Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity. The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support. It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says. 12. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess? A. Ignoring the potential of AI. B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority. C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose. D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency. 13. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abandoning. B. Stressing. C. Admitting. D. Assessing. 14. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design? A. Enhancing algorithm complexity. B. Reducing human dependence on AI. C. Considering human-AI interaction. D. Improving AI’s independent capability. 15. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show? A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful. B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate. C. No algorithmic support was completely the best. D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中迭出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Paris is an ideal travel destination with its food, wine, shopping complexes and sightseeing spots. ____16____ Actually it is possible to have a good time without spending a lot. Forget the large international hotels in the centre. Instead, get off the main streets. There are many hotels just two blocks away from the main tourist attractions, which cost as little as US $35 a night each, including breakfast. ____17____ But who needs more when the point of the trip is to be out in the streets? The real bonus is living among French people and experiencing their life. Seek out small, local cafes when you want a meal. They are at every street corner in the less fancy parts of town. Choose from the fixed-price dinner menus posted outside these cafes. Many have prices as low as US $9 or US $10. Drinks with meals are more expensive, especially beer and quality wine. But there are some reasonable alternatives. House wine is good: perhaps a couple of dollars per carafe (喇叭瓶). Coffee, thick and lovely, costs US $2.50 a cup. ____18____ Getting around Paris is easy and inexpensive. Walking is the best way to feel the street-life but when you start to tire, take the train. Subway tickets for anywhere across the city cost around a dollar a trip and even less if you buy a multiple-ticket book. ____19____ All the maps and signposts are easy to understand. ____20____ Passes can be bought at major subway stations and elsewhere. The Louvre is an absolute must to visit. The Eiffel Tower gives a great view of the city for less than US $10. You can’t miss the street architecture, the surrounding atmosphere and the daily goings-on in Paris. More importantly, they cost nothing or little to explore and experience. A. The system is quick and efficient. B. The breakfast features a local flavor. C. But some people are worried about the high cost. D. The admissions to Paris’ attractions are not costly. E. Quality wine and tasty food are tough on the budget. F. The rooms with small bathrooms are clean and basic. G. That totals less than $15 per person for dinner and drinks. 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。 Chandra was born in a small town. ____21____ other children, she was half paralyzed (瘫痪的) below the waist.

Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place. Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place. But at school small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile. And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite? That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers. A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, my world here started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
