B Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, is a powerful and simple story about an old fisherman’s battle with a giant marlin (马林鱼). This short novel directly led to him winning the Nobel Prize for Literature. It presents the human struggle against the powerful forces of nature. The plot centers on Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman. His struggle to catch the marlin represents Hemingway’s favorite themes: facing physical and moral challenges with dignity. Unlike the violent manliness in some of Hemingway’s other works, Santiago’s heroism is defined by his patience, skill, and remarkable perseverance. Through this character, Hemingway explores the concept of grace (优雅) under pressure, demonstrating how one can maintain honor even in the face of extreme misfortune. Hemingway’s writing style is clear and vivid. He uses precise, descriptive language to bring the sea and the struggle to life. For example, as a storm approaches, he writes that “the rising wind roughened the surface of the sea and the waves were talking to each other.” Such imagery allows readers to fully imagine the scene and appreciate the author’s masterful command of language, transforming an ordinary fishing trip into a deep universal experience. The story’s ending is deeply meaningful. After Santiago finally defeats the marlin, his prize is eaten by sharks on his way home. He returns to port with only the skeleton (骨骼) of the fish. This is not a story of pure victory, but one of dignified loss that conveys a significant message about life. The final line — “the old man was dreaming about the lions” — suggests that true honor lies not in the reward.but in the spirit of the struggle itself. This masterpiece remains the last great achievement of Hemingway’s brilliant career, continuing to inspire readers worldwide with its deep insight. For any student seeking to understand courage and dignity, this book is essential reading. 24. How is Santiago’s heroism different from that in Hemingway’s other works? A. It avoids struggles. B. It leads to material rewards. C. It emphasizes spiritual strength. D. It focuses on violent manliness. 25. Why does the author quote the sentence about the waves in paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate the old man’s sailing skills. B. To illustrate Hemingway’s descriptive power. C. To analyze the symbolic meaning of storms. D. To prove the accuracy of weather descriptions. 26. What central theme does the book convey? A. The joy of fighting against sharks. B. The value of practical survival skills. C. The importance of ocean conservation. D. The dignity of struggling against hardship. 27. What kind of passage is the text? A. A book review. B. A short story. C. A news report. D. A biography. C Over six decades, Tanzanian acrobatics (杂技) has developed into a remarkable art form through sustained cultural exchange with China. This practice has become a vital cultural bridge, representing how international cooperation promotes lasting friendship and shared understanding between nations. The story began in the 1960s when a Chinese acrobatic group’s performance in Tanzania deeply impressed the local art community and audiences-a key moment that inspired a landmark training program. In 1965, twenty Tanzanian students, including Hamis Adam Nyota, traveled to Wuhan, China, for professional acrobatic training. Though they initially faced challenges adapting to the new environment, the group trained diligently. After four years of devoted practice, they mastered complex skills and returned home in 1969 to establish Africa’s first national acrobatic group. Their perseverance laid the foundation for an lasting artistic tradition that would shape generations. Through subsequent decades, acrobatics took root in Tanzanian society. Saidi Ramadhani Yusuph, a second-generation acrobat, has made vital contributions to carrying forward this acrobatic heritage. Since starting his teaching career, Yusuph has trained a large number of students, focusing not only on building physical strength and flexibility but also on developing mental discipline and teamwork. What was once seen as mere entertainment has now transformed into a respected profession: it offers health benefits,and performers can earn a stable income through shows at hotels, weddings, and international events. Now, it is easy to see that the art is getting more and more recognition around the world.One example of this success is the Ramadhani Brothers, who gained praise on the U.S. television show America’s Got Talent. These achievements bring pride to Tanzania while motivating younger artists to pursue excellence. From Wuhan to Tanzania, this meaningful cultural exchange continues to inspire new generations. Nine-year-old Aisha Juma, a young trainee, talks about what acrobatics means to her: “Through my daily hula hoop (呼啦圈) drills and acrobatic practice, I not only get stronger and sharper in mind, but also keep this tradition going.” 28. What started China-Tanzania acrobatic exchange? A. Chinese group’s 1960s show. B. Tanzanian students’ 1965 trip. C. A training program’s launch. D Nyota’s professional training. 29. What is Saidi Ramadhani Yusuph’s main role described in paragraph 3? A. A skilled performer of acrobatics. B. A guardian of acrobatic heritage. C. A pioneer of cultural exchange. D. A founder of a local acrobatics school. 30. What can we infer about the impact of acrobatics in Tanzania? A. It has made the local people wealthy. B. It mainly benefits international performers. C. It has weakened its original entertainment value. D. It has become a source of opportunity and pride. 31. Why does the author mention nine-year-old Aisha Juma? A. To show her physical and mental gains from acrobatics. B. To illustrate cultural exchange’s inspiration for the young. C. To stress the difficulty of passing acrobatic traditions to kids. D. To prove young trainees’ greater devotion to acrobatic practice. D Artificial intelligence consumes huge amounts of energy, but researchers at the University of Florida have developed a chip that could transform this situation. Instead of relying on electricity, it uses light to perform a core AI function. By creating tiny lenses (透镜) directly on silicon chips (硅芯片), they have achieved optical (光学的) computing that reduces power consumption while maintaining accuracy. AI systems play a central role in modern technology, supporting everything from facial recognition to language translation. However, as these systems become more advanced, their electricity use grows dramatically. The new chip from the University of Florida addresses this problem by using light to handle one of AI’s most energy-consuming tasks. The findings have been published in the journal Advanced Photonics. The chip specializes in convolution operations, a core function in machine learning that enables AI systems to detect patterns in images, video, and text. Such tasks usually require a huge amount of computing resources. By integrating optical elements directly into a silicon chip, the research team has built a system that uses light and micro-lenses to run convolutions. This approach cuts energy use and speeds up processing. To perform a key computation, machine learning data is first transformed into light on the chip. The light passes through the lenses, which carry out the mathematical transformation. The result is then translated back into a digital signal to complete the AI task. “Carrying out a key machine learning operation with almost no energy is a major step forward for AI systems,” said lead researcher Volker J. Sorger. “This is essential if we want to continue expanding what AI can do.” The study was carried out in partnership with the Florida Semiconductor Institute, UCLA, and George Washington University. Sorger pointed out that chip producers already include optical elements in certain parts of AI systems, which could help bring this technology into real-world use.” In the near future, optics integrated into chips will become a standard feature in the AI chips we use every day.” Sorger said. 32. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph? A. By quoting leading experts’ opinions. B. By explaining a complex scientific principle. C. By stating a problem and presenting a solution. D. By comparing a new technology’s pros and cons. 33. What does the underlined word “convolution operations” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A technique for speeding up data delivery. B. A system designed to make images clearer. C. A basic process that allows AI to identify patterns. D. A method for reducing energy consumption in chips. 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Why light is used in the new AI chip. B. How a computation is performed on the new chip. C. What mathematical operations the lenses perform. D. How digital signals are transformed into laser light. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Drives Development of New Chips B. Researchers Develop a New Type of Chip C. Optical Chips Boost AI’s Energy Efficiency D. Optical Computing Reshapes AI’s Future 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Practical Ways to Develop Wisdom in Daily Life Wisdom provides us with insight when we need it, calms us down in terrible situations,and serves as a light of hope in the darkness.___36___Here are some strategies that you can use to get wiser.

Today was a big day: his first game as a player in the school basketball team against River High School. Justine and his teammates were coming to pick him up in fifteen minutes. Hoping to calm his nerves, Ethan walked out to the barn (畜棚), taking deep breaths of the morning air. Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind the barn. He ran to look and saw Zeke, their young llama (羊驼), smartly pushing the gate’s lock up with his mouth to open it. Before Ethan could stop him,Zeke had opened the gate and run out. Ethan quickly closed it to prevent the other animals from escaping,but Zeke was already free. “Come back, Zeke!” Ethan called anxiously. The excited llama, however,ran quickly toward the open field. Ethan ran after him, but the gap between them only grew bigger as Zeke headed straight for a small group of trees near the busy driveway. Ethan’s heart beat fast as he chased him into the trees. Once inside, he spotted Zeke and moved quietly around to his back-but when he almost caught him, Zeke immediately noticed and dashed away, getting farther and farther away! “Oh no! I don’t have time for this! Justine and my teammates will arrive soon!” Ethan thought,feeling sweat on his forehead under his baseball cap. He knew he couldn’t leave for the game with Zeke still out in the open. He looked around, trying to think of the fastest way to get him back to the barn. Just then, an idea came to him. Ethan hurried to fetch a bucket of corn and a halter (缰绳) with a rope. The corn was to attract Zeke, the halter to catch him. But the problem was that he couldn’t get near enough to catch him. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As he felt anxious, he suddenly found Justine’s car stopping in the driveway. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Ethan and his teammates got to the gym, the game was about to start. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 柳州市2026届高三第一次模拟考试 英语 （考试时间：120分钟；满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．请把答案填写在答题卡上，否则答题无效。 2．答卷前，考生务必将密封线内的项目填写清楚，密封线内不要答题． 3．选择题，请用2B铅笔，把答题卡上对应题目选项的信息点涂黑。非选择题，请用0.5mm黑色字迹签字笔在答题卡指定位置作答. 第1卷（选择题） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why does the man study Chinese Kung fu?

This short novel directly led to him winning the Nobel Prize for Literature. It presents the human struggle against the powerful forces of nature. The plot centers on Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman. His struggle to catch the marlin represents Hemingway’s favorite themes: facing physical and moral challenges with dignity. Unlike the violent manliness in some of Hemingway’s other works, Santiago’s heroism is defined by his patience, skill, and remarkable perseverance. Through this character, Hemingway explores the concept of grace (优雅) under pressure, demonstrating how one can maintain honor even in the face of extreme misfortune. Hemingway’s writing style is clear and vivid. He uses precise, descriptive language to bring the sea and the struggle to life. For example, as a storm approaches, he writes that “the rising wind roughened the surface of the sea and the waves were talking to each other.” Such imagery allows readers to fully imagine the scene and appreciate the author’s masterful command of language, transforming an ordinary fishing trip into a deep universal experience. The story’s ending is deeply meaningful. After Santiago finally defeats the marlin, his prize is eaten by sharks on his way home. He returns to port with only the skeleton (骨骼) of the fish. This is not a story of pure victory, but one of dignified loss that conveys a significant message about life. The final line — “the old man was dreaming about the lions” — suggests that true honor lies not in the reward.but in the spirit of the struggle itself. This masterpiece remains the last great achievement of Hemingway’s brilliant career, continuing to inspire readers worldwide with its deep insight. For any student seeking to understand courage and dignity, this book is essential reading. 24. How is Santiago’s heroism different from that in Hemingway’s other works? A. It avoids struggles. B.

This practice has become a vital cultural bridge, representing how international cooperation promotes lasting friendship and shared understanding between nations. The story began in the 1960s, when a Chinese acrobatic group’s performance in Tanzania deeply impressed the local art community and audiences-a key moment that inspired a landmark training program. In 1965, twenty Tanzanian students, including Hamis Adam Nyota, traveled to Wuhan, China, for professional acrobatic training. Though they initially faced challenges adapting to the new environment, the group trained diligently. After four years of devoted practice, they mastered complex skills and returned home in 1969 to establish Africa’s first national acrobatic group. Their perseverance laid the foundation for an lasting artistic tradition that would shape generations. Through subsequent decades, acrobatics took root in Tanzanian society. Saidi Ramadhani Yusuph, a second-generation acrobat, has made vital contributions to carrying forward this acrobatic heritage. Since starting his teaching career, Yusuph has trained a large number of students, focusing not only on building physical strength and flexibility but also on developing mental discipline and teamwork. What was once seen as mere entertainment has now transformed into a respected profession: it offers health benefits,and performers can earn a stable income through shows at hotels, weddings, and international events. Now, it is easy to see that the art is getting more and more recognition around the world.One example of this success is the Ramadhani Brothers, who gained praise on the U.S. television show America’s Got Talent. These achievements bring pride to Tanzania while motivating younger artists to pursue excellence. From Wuhan to Tanzania, this meaningful cultural exchange continues to inspire new generations. Nine-year-old Aisha Juma, a young trainee, talks about what acrobatics means to her: “Through my daily hula hoop (呼啦圈) drills and acrobatic practice, I not only get stronger and sharper in mind, but also keep this tradition going.” 28.

Instead of relying on electricity, it uses light to perform a core AI function. By creating tiny lenses (透镜) directly on silicon chips (硅芯片), they have achieved optical (光学的) computing that reduces power consumption while maintaining accuracy. AI systems play a central role in modern technology, supporting everything from facial recognition to language translation. However, as these systems become more advanced, their electricity use grows dramatically. The new chip from the University of Florida addresses this problem by using light to handle one of AI’s most energy-consuming tasks. The findings have been published in the journal Advanced Photonics. The chip specializes in convolution operations, a core function in machine learning that enables AI systems to detect patterns in images, video, and text. Such tasks usually require a huge amount of computing resources. By integrating optical elements directly into a silicon chip, the research team has built a system that uses light and micro-lenses to run convolutions. This approach cuts energy use and speeds up processing. To perform a key computation, machine learning data is first transformed into light on the chip. The light passes through the lenses, which carry out the mathematical transformation. The result is then translated back into a digital signal to complete the AI task. “Carrying out a key machine learning operation with almost no energy is a major step forward for AI systems,” said lead researcher Volker J. Sorger. “This is essential if we want to continue expanding what AI can do.” The study was carried out in partnership with the Florida Semiconductor Institute, UCLA, and George Washington University. Sorger pointed out that chip producers already include optical elements in certain parts of AI systems, which could help bring this technology into real-world use.” In the near future, optics integrated into chips will become a standard feature in the AI chips we use every day.” Sorger said. 32. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph? A. By quoting leading experts’ opinions. B. By explaining a complex scientific principle. C. By stating a problem and presenting a solution. D. By comparing a new technology’s pros and cons. 33. What does the underlined word “convolution operations” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A technique for speeding up data delivery. B. A system designed to make images clearer. C. A basic process that allows AI to identify patterns. D. A method for reducing energy consumption in chips. 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Why light is used in the new AI chip. B. How a computation is performed on the new chip. C. What mathematical operations the lenses perform. D. How digital signals are transformed into laser light. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Drives Development of New Chips B. Researchers Develop a New Type of Chip C. Optical Chips Boost AI’s Energy Efficiency D. Optical Computing Reshapes AI’s Future 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35.

Today was a big day: his first game as a player in the school basketball team against River High School. Justine and his teammates were coming to pick him up in fifteen minutes. Hoping to calm his nerves, Ethan walked out to the barn (畜棚), taking deep breaths of the morning air. Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind the barn. He ran to look and saw Zeke, their young llama (羊驼), smartly pushing the gate’s lock up with his mouth to open it. Before Ethan could stop him,Zeke had opened the gate and run out. Ethan quickly closed it to prevent the other animals from escaping,but Zeke was already free. “Come back, Zeke!” Ethan called anxiously. The excited llama, however,ran quickly toward the open field. Ethan ran after him, but the gap between them only grew bigger as Zeke headed straight for a small group of trees near the busy driveway. Ethan’s heart beat fast as he chased him into the trees. Once inside, he spotted Zeke and moved quietly around to his back-but when he almost caught him, Zeke immediately noticed and dashed away, getting farther and farther away! “Oh no! I don’t have time for this! Justine and my teammates will arrive soon!” Ethan thought,feeling sweat on his forehead under his baseball cap. He knew he couldn’t leave for the game with Zeke still out in the open. He looked around, trying to think of the fastest way to get him back to the barn. Just then, an idea came to him. Ethan hurried to fetch a bucket of corn and a halter (缰绳) with a rope. The corn was to attract Zeke, the halter to catch him. But the problem was that he couldn’t get near enough to catch him. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As he felt anxious, he suddenly found Justine’s car stopping in the driveway. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Ethan and his teammates got to the gym, the game was about to start. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 As he felt anxious, he suddenly found Justine’s car stopping in the driveway. Justine and the other teammates jumped out of the car, spotted Ethan’s anxiety, and asked, “What’s wrong?” Ethan explained what happened, pointing to the trees where Zeke hid. “Don’t worry, we’ll help you catch him!” they said and made a plan quickly. One teammate spilled some corn to draw Zeke’s attention, while the others circled him quietly. As Zeke focused on eating, Ethan carefully slipped the halter over his head. Thanks to their teamwork, Zeke was taken back to the barn. Then they headed for the game right away. When Ethan and his teammates got to the gym, the game was about to start. After a few minutes of warm-up, the game started. At the beginning, Ethan focused on personal performance, but it didn’t work. Justine noticed all this. During the timeout, he came over to Ethan, clapped his shoulder and said, “Basketball needs teamwork, just like catching Zeke!” Ethan agreed to change his game style. On defense, they covered each other; on attack, they passed and blocked for teammates. Ethan gradually found his rhythm. With effective coordination, Ethan and his teammates finally won the game. At that moment, Ethan realized catching Zeke and winning the game both relied on great teamwork. 【解析】 【导语】本文以伊桑的篮球比赛日经历为线索，讲述了伊桑首次代表校队参赛前，发现家中羊驼泽克逃跑，他尝试用玉米吸引泽克却难以靠近，而队友们即将抵达接他去赛场的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“正当他焦虑不安时，他突然发现贾斯汀的车停在了车道上。”可知，第一段可描写队友们下车后询问情况，迅速制定计划，通过撒玉米吸引泽克注意力，众人协作围捕，成功将泽克送回畜棚，随后一同赶往赛场的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当伊桑和队友们到达体育馆时，比赛即将开始。”可知，第二段可描写伊桑初期专注个人表现未能发挥作用，贾斯汀以抓羊驼的团队协作为例提醒他，伊桑调整战术，与队友攻防配合，最终赢得比赛，领悟到团队合作重要性的情景。 2. 续写线索：队友抵达发现困境——协作制定围捕计划——成功抓回泽克赶往赛场——赛前热身快速准备——初期单打独斗遇阻——队友点拨领悟战术——团队协作赢得比赛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①包围：circle/surround ②解释：explain/account for ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/unease ②担心：worry/concern 【点睛】[高分句型1] Ethan explained what happened, pointing to the trees where Zeke hid.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] As Zeke focused on eating, Ethan carefully slipped the halter over his head.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $null
