At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary. It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder. One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented. When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad. Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place. On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby. By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine. 4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad? A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips. C. To train local children. D. To become famous. 5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain. 6. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school? A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value. C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme. 7. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One is never too old to learn. B. Many hands make light work. C. Education knows no boundaries. D. Small things make a big difference. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的退休工人Harold Simmons在自家后院建造了一个花园铁路模型，起初只是为了消磨时间，但这个项目逐渐吸引了邻居、孩子和学校的注意，最终成为社区的地标。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard.( 73岁时，他只是一个退休工人，有太多的时间和空荡荡的后院)”可知，Harold开始建造花园铁路是为了消磨空闲时间。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.( 消息传开了。以前只是礼貌挥手的邻居们停下来欣赏哈罗德不断扩大的景观。孩子们带着父母一起来。退休工人们分享了模型所代表的真实火车和城镇的故事)”可知，邻居们对Harold的项目是欣赏和喜爱的。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.( 当地小学听说了哈罗德的项目后，问他是否愿意接待一次实地考察。哈罗德很惊讶。突然间，教室里的孩子们通过他的微型铁路学习历史、工程和创造力)”可知，哈罗德的项目能够让孩子们学习历史、工程和创造力，可推理出哈罗德的项目具有教育价值。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard.( 73岁时，他只是一个退休工人，有太多的时间和空荡荡的后院)”、第三段中“Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.( 消息传开了。以前只是礼貌挥手的邻居们停下来欣赏哈罗德不断扩大的景观。孩子们带着父母一起来。退休工人们分享了模型所代表的真实火车和城镇的故事)”、第四段“When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.( 当地小学听说了哈罗德的项目后，问他是否愿意接待一次实地考察。哈罗德很惊讶。突然间，教室里的孩子们通过他的微型铁路学习历史、工程和创造力)”以及最后一段“By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.(当哈罗德年满80岁时，他的后院已然成为一个社区地标。当地学校将其纳入教学课程安排参观；养老院组织集体前往游览；艺术家和历史学家也纷纷慕名而来。这些小小的轨道变得充满魔力，昭示着热情、创造力与开放的心态所能构筑起的联结，其影响力之深远远超过任何人最初的想象)”可知，文章讲述了一个退休老人最初只是为了消磨时间而建造的微型铁路模型，最终发展成为一个社区地标，吸引了孩子、学校、退休老人等，产生了巨大的社会影响。由此推知，我们可以从这个故事学到“微小的事物也能产生巨大的影响”。故选D项。 C 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. 8. 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. 9. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abandoning. B. Stressing. C. Admitting. D. Assessing. 10. 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. 11. 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】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. 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。 【8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。 【9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。 【10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。 【11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。 D In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers. Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources. Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use. Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places. The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.” 12. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes? A. By reducing dengue vectors. B. By increasing species competition. C By upgrading human habitats. D. By ensuring agricultural outputs. 13. What can be known about residential areas? A. They have lower mosquito diversity. B. Their land use is more intensive. C. Their living conditions are poor. D. They host fewer disease risks. 14. What is the significance of the study? A. It helps agricultural development. B. It solves the problem of disease spread. C. It offers a potential win-win strategy. D. It leads to the study of climate patterns. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了一项由斯坦福大学领导的研究，该研究发现即使在哥斯达黎加，小面积的树木覆盖也能减少传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在。研究结果可以为农村地区的土地利用决策和树木保护策略提供信息。文章还阐述了树木覆盖如何防止入侵蚊子，住宅区蚊子物种的情况，以及这项研究的重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources(研究人员发现，在树木覆盖较多的地区，作为登革热媒介的亚洲虎蚊的数量减少，而蚊子物种的总数增加。更多的物种需要更多的空间和资源，这使得入侵物种更难找到未被占用的空间或资源)”可知，增加的树木覆盖通过增加物种竞争来阻止入侵蚊子，因为更多的物种会争夺空间和资源，让入侵物种更难生存。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species(相比之下，住宅区的蚊子物种要少得多，而且更有可能存在入侵性的、传播疾病的物种)”可知，住宅区的蚊子物种多样性较低。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread(研究表明，保护树木有助于保护生物多样性，同时也能降低疾病传播的可能性)”以及第五段中“This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease(这项工作表明，森林和树木覆盖可以降低风险，但确定其他维持媒介种群的土地利用类型是控制这种迅速扩散的疾病的下一个前沿领域)”可知，这项研究既保护了生物多样性，又降低了疾病传播的风险，可推理出这项研究提供了一个潜在的共赢策略，故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段中“In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University - led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology(根据斯坦福大学领导的一项研究，5月28日发表在《景观生态学》杂志上，在哥斯达黎加，即使是小面积的树木覆盖也能减少已知会传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在)”可知，文章主要围绕树木覆盖对入侵蚊子的限制作用展开，所以D项“Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes(树木覆盖限制入侵蚊子)”适合作为文章标题。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。 Our homes use a lot of energy in summer. The huge amounts of energy used to cool them result in more than a sixth of the world’s greenhouse gases. Here are some simple solutions to protect our planet and reduce our energy bills. ____16____ We’re used to thinking about turning on the air conditioning to control our home’s temperature. But many of us live in environments where all we need to do is to open the windows to be comfortable. Don’t forget the ceiling fan A lot of the time, we don’t need air conditioning if we have a ceiling fan. ____17____. But it can provide increased cooling by moving the air around, which may be enough in certain climates. Compared to air conditioners, ceiling fans can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 76%. ____18____ Put shades outside, not inside In places that get very hot, we should think about installing shades outside the windows or doors. Here’s why. If we have a blind or curtain outside, then the sunlight cannot come in. ____19____. In ancient civilizations like Egypt, Tunisia or Southern Europe, people used wooden shutters to keep the heat outside a building. Make the roof reflective The roofs are often the part of our home that receives the most sunlight. ____20____. If they are coated with a white or a silvery color, most of the solar energy will be reflected away instead of being absorbed inside. A. It’s unavoidable B. Open the windows C. Keep the fan in good condition D. Sure, it cannot lower the temperature in the house E. So if you have a ceiling fan and aren’t using it, try turning it on F. Keeping the heat out with shades is a tradition dating back centuries G. However, most of them are black or dark-colored, which absorb the heat 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个给房子降温的办法。 【16题详解】 根据空后“We’re used to thinking about turning on the air conditioning to control our home’s temperature. But many of us live in environments where all we need to do is to open the windows to be comfortable.(我们习惯了通过开空调来调节家里的温度。但对于很多人来说，生活的环境其实只需开窗就能让人感觉舒适)”可知，本段主要讲开窗通风。B选项“Open the windows (开窗通风)”为祈使句，为本段的小标题。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据本段小标题“Don’t forget the ceiling fan (别忘了吊扇)”以及空前“A lot of the time, we don’t need air conditioning if we have a ceiling fan.(很多时候，有吊扇就不需要开空调了)”和空后“But it can provide increased cooling by moving the air around, which may be enough in certain climates.(但它能通过空气流动增强降温效果，这在某些气候条件下可能已经足够了)”可知，空处需通过“转折”先说明吊扇的局限性，再引出其作用。D选项“Sure, it cannot lower the temperature in the house (当然，它无法降低室内温度)”符合语境。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Compared to air conditioners, ceiling fans can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 76%. (与空调相比，吊扇能减少76%的能源消耗和温室气体排放)”可知，前文强调了吊扇的节能优势，此空需承接该优势，给出使用吊扇的建议。E选项“So if you have a ceiling fan and aren’t using it, try turning it on (所以如果你有吊扇却没在用，不妨试着打开它)”符合语境。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“Put shades outside, not inside (在外部而非内部安装遮阳设施)”以及空后“In ancient civilizations like Egypt, Tunisia or Southern Europe, people used wooden shutters to keep the heat outside a building. (在埃及、突尼斯或南欧等古代文明中，人们就用木制百叶窗将热量挡在建筑外)”可知，空处需体现“外部遮阳”的历史渊源。F选项“Keeping the heat out with shades is a tradition dating back centuries (用遮阳设施隔热是一项可追溯至几个世纪前的传统)”符合语境。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据本段小标题“Make the roof reflective (让屋顶具有反光性)”以及空前“The roofs are often the part of our home that receives the most sunlight.(屋顶通常是家中接收阳光最多的部分)”和空后“If they are coated with a white or a silvery color, most of the solar energy will be reflected away instead of being absorbed inside.(如果屋顶涂成白色或银色，大部分太阳能会被反射出去，而不是被内部吸收)”可知，空处需先说明现有屋顶的问题。G选项“However, most of them are black or dark-colored, which absorbs the heat (然而，大多数屋顶是黑色或深色的，会吸收热量)”符合语境。故选G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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My husband’s career has led to our family relocating many times.

You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day. “Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off. He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her. “Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out. Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the police and another car approached. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, he saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. Jeffery felt relieved and delighted to see the girl staying safe and sound. Trying to calm himself, Jeffery decided to talk to her gently. He inquired about her name and why she had left home. “I was going to Grandma’s house. My mom wouldn’t let me go.” Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor. “Your parents are searching for you, and they’ll be here soon,” he assured her, and the little girl gave him a small smile. A few minutes later, the police and another car approached them. A woman got out of the vehicle and rushed toward Sarah. The little girl got up and ran to her, yelling, “Mommy!” The police officers approached Jeffrey and he told them the entire story and how he regretted not letting her on the bus, so he came to find her. Sarah’s parents thanked him for what he had done. From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了公交车司机Jeffrey一开始拒绝让没有钱的小女孩上车，后来他在Facebook上看到女孩失踪的消息，意识到自己的错误并努力将她找回的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，他看见一个小小的身影坐在原地的长凳上。”可知，第一段可描写Jeffrey抵达公交站并发现小女孩仍然坐在那里的情形以及他对自己行为的反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后，警察和另一辆车靠近了他们。”可知，第二段可描写小女孩与她的父母团聚的感人瞬间，以及他们对Jeffrey的感谢及Jeffrey的变化。 2.续写线索：车站看到小姑娘——感到欣慰——安慰小姑娘——女孩与父母团聚——女孩父母感谢——Jeffrey的变化。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：inquire/question/query ②大喊：yell/shout/scream ③靠近；接近：approach/draw near/come near to 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/happy/pleased ②温柔地：gently/lightly/softly ③向……保证；确保：assure/guarantee/ensure 【点睛】【高分句型1】Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor.(运用了现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】 From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job.(运用了who和that引导的定语从句和because引导的原因状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 青海省大通县教学研究室2026届高三第一学期期中考试 英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 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。 1.

B Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary. It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder. One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented. When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad. Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place. On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby. By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine. 4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad? A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips. C. To train local children. D. To become famous. 5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain. 6. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school? A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value. C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme. 7. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One is never too old to learn. B. Many hands make light work. C. Education knows no boundaries. D. Small things make a big difference. C 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. 8. 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. 9. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abandoning. B. Stressing. C. Admitting. D. Assessing. 10. 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. 11. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show? A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful. B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate. C.

D In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers. Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources. Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use. Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places. The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.” 12. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes? A. By reducing dengue vectors. B. By increasing species competition. C. By upgrading human habitats. D. By ensuring agricultural outputs. 13. What can be known about residential areas? A. They have lower mosquito diversity. B. Their land use is more intensive. C. Their living conditions are poor. D. They host fewer disease risks. 14. What is the significance of the study? A. It helps agricultural development. B. It solves the problem of disease spread. C. It offers a potential win-win strategy. D. It leads to the study of climate patterns. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes 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。 Our homes use a lot of energy in summer. The huge amounts of energy used to cool them result in more than a sixth of the world’s greenhouse gases. Here are some simple solutions to protect our planet and reduce our energy bills. ____16____ We’re used to thinking about turning on the air conditioning to control our home’s temperature. But many of us live in environments where all we need to do is to open the windows to be comfortable. Don’t forget the ceiling fan A lot of the time, we don’t need air conditioning if we have a ceiling fan. ____17____. But it can provide increased cooling by moving the air around, which may be enough in certain climates. Compared to air conditioners, ceiling fans can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 76%. ____18____ Put shades outside, not inside In places that get very hot, we should think about installing shades outside the windows or doors. Here’s why. If we have a blind or curtain outside, then the sunlight cannot come in. ____19____. In ancient civilizations like Egypt, Tunisia or Southern Europe, people used wooden shutters to keep the heat outside a building. Make the roof reflective The roofs are often the part of our home that receives the most sunlight. ____20____. If they are coated with a white or a silvery color, most of the solar energy will be reflected away instead of being absorbed inside. A. It’s unavoidable B. Open the windows C. Keep the fan in good condition D. Sure, it cannot lower the temperature in the house E. So if you have a ceiling fan and aren’t using it, try turning it on F. Keeping the heat out with shades is a tradition dating back centuries G. However, most of them are black or dark-colored, which absorb the heat 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My husband’s career has led to our family relocating many times.

You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day. “Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off. He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her. “Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out. Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the police and another car approached. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
