Max and the Millions By Ross Montgomery Max is the only deaf pupil at his boarding school. He finds life chaotic but likes building models with school caretaker Mr Darrow. Then Mr Darrow goes missing and Max discovers something incredible in his room — a whole civilization of tiny people. It is a fun adventure from an award-winning author. · Song for a Whale By Lynne Kelly In a science lesson, Iris learns about a lonely whale who is unable to communicate with other whales — and she decides to help. Soon she’s come up with a bold plan involving a credit card, two cruise-ship tickets and a wild adventure. Can she help the lonely whale? This animal-inspired story has a very determined young deaf heroine. · Can You Feel the Noise? By Stewart Foster Sophie can’t wait to take part in the Battle of the Bands competition, but she wakes up deaf one morning, and rehearsals are replaced by hospital trips and learning to lip-read. Then she discovers the vibrations of sound through an old drum kit and wonders if her musical dreams are still in reach. · Harriet Versus the Galaxy By Samantha Baines Harriet discovers that her hearing aid has an amazing power — it can help her understand aliens from across the universe. Now she’s Earth’s first line of defence as the only one who can make sense of an alien invasion. This is the first children’s book from comedian Samantha Baines, who wears a hearing aid too. 1. What distinguishes Song for a Whale from others based on the text? A. It is written by an award-winning author. B. Its author wears a hearing aid. C. Its main character attempts to offer help to an animal. D. It mainly focuses on a music contest. 2. What can be learned from Harriet Versus the Galaxy? A. A new hearing aid is invented by Harriet. B. Alien friends are found by Harriet. C. Harriet trains pets from outer space. D. Harriet’s hearing aid has an exceptional function. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A textbook. B A science report. C. A personal diary. D. A book review column. B I’ve always had a keen sense of adventure. I worked as a photographer in Liverpool and in the summer of 2016, I embarked on a solo 1,000-mile (1,600km) route through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and I did the majority of it on foot. Slow travel has allowed me to have amazing encounters with people from all walks of life. Plus, I’m not a natural at striking up conversations with strangers. So when mapping out my next trip, I landed on the idea that being accompanied by a pack animal would make me look appealing enough for people to initiate a chat. I found a donkey from a local farm. After seven months of training, we set off on the nearly 700-mile adventure from one lighthouse in Cape Wrath, at the top of the Highlands, to another in Dorset. However, I realised that walking a donkey around suburban streets does not in any way prepare you for walking across the West Highlands, an extremely challenging landscape: hilly, mostly moorland (荒原), with all kinds of biting insects. For the first six weeks, I felt extremely out of my depth, and constantly questioned whether or not I should be doing the walk and whether Martin was enjoying it. The walk was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but I don’t like quitting. We walked along trails, canals and roads from Glasgow, Lancaster, Leeds and Liverpool to Gloucester, Bristol and Dorchester. Everywhere we went, we put smiles on people’s faces. They were overjoyed to have encountered Martin. People would fall over themselves to help us — letting us camp on their farms, giving me hot food and coffee, cheering us on. Nobody ever turned me away. Having Martin around as my partner really opened up a lot of chances to meet people. I’ve figured out that people want to be friendly, but sometimes they just need an excuse. The walk helped to restore my faith in people and taught me that endlessly worrying — like about where we were going to camp each night — doesn’t solve anything. Not only did I walk the entire length of the UK, but I also made a lifelong friend with a 15-year-old donkey called Martin. 4. Why did the author have a donkey to travel with? A. To help him carry luggage. B. To make himself approachable. C. To use it for transportation. D. To improve his sense of direction. 5. What did the author try to show in paragraph 4? A. The highlights and regrets. B. The preparation for the walk. C. The difficulties and self-doubts. D. The danger of the West Highlands. 6. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Shy and dependent. B. Adventurous  and persistent. C. Creative and experienced. D. Disciplined and organized. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Solo Walk Across the UK. B. Martin: My Loyal Donkey Partner. C. The Challenges of Walking with a Donkey. D. A Walk, a Donkey, and a Restored Faith in People. C If you ask a Westerner to name a successful Chinese consumer-goods brand, most would have struggled until recently. Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change. Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere. From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric cars silently passing by are increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, an ice-cream and cold drinks company, has overtaken McDonald’s to become the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. It is expanding in South America, as is Meituan, a Beijing-based delivery app. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1, 300 stores outside China by the end of 2027, mostly in Southeast Asia; just a few years ago, it had almost none. Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. It is impossible not to admire the creative force behind these successful enterprises. Western consumers have been buying products made in China for decades. However, these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity. New companies are now challenging these old assumptions. Many proudly emphasize their Chinese heritage. For example, Chagee’s logo features a Peking Opera singer in full costume, and its name comes from “Farewell, My Concubine,” a classic Chinese opera. The video game “Black Myth: Wukong,” one of the most successful ever, features the Monkey King from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. Today, many Chinese brands compete not only on price but also on quality. Chagee’s drinks can even be as expensive as Starbucks’. Western companies will need to wake up and take notice of bubble tea. In the future, they will have to make more efforts to understand Chinese consumers’ unique tastes. Some may even partner with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China could eventually push Disney, Mattel toys, and other major Western brands to reach new levels of creativity. 8. What does the underlined part “created a buzz” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Caused public excitement. B. Made a loud noise. C. Lost great popularity. D. Received negative comments. 9. How did the western consumers find Chinese brands? A. Full of imagination. B. Short of creativity. C. Quality guaranteed. D. Mass produced. 10. What is the author’s advice for the western brands? A. Notice different bubble tea. B. Ignore the Chinese influence. C Cooperate with Chinese brands. D. Lower the price of the products. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of Chinese retail brands. B. How foreign firms win Chinese customers. C. Why Chinese products were unpopular before. D. The rise of innovative Chinese brands globally. D Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 12. What is an advantage of physical buttons over touchscreens? A. They are cheaper to produce and replace. B. They are easier to see in bright sunlight. C. They can be operated without looking at them. D. They allow control of a wider range of functions. 13. Which took the longest time in the 2022 study? A. The model running at 110 km/h. B. The old model with real buttons. C. The best-performing modern car. D. The worst-performing modern car. 14. How does the author prove his argument in the passage? A. By showing different research results. B. By telling his own driving experience. C. By comparing the actions of car drivers. D. By mentioning the rules of an organization. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Safety features will be smarter. B. Touchscreens will be abandoned. C. Voice control will dominate the market. D. In-car control will innovate continually. 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。 Breaking Age Bias in the Workplace Ageism in the workplace is a harsh reality, yet it is often overlooked. While people voice strong objections to other forms of discrimination like sexism and racism, they turn a blind eye to ageism and sweep it under the carpet. ___16___ We live in a youth-centered society, and the hype around “out with the old, in with the new” must end. Experience cannot be found on Google. A person’s age does not reduce their ability to work hard or make valuable contributions to an organization or society. Reaching 35+ does not mean someone is incompetent and should be declined. Myths such as “They can’t learn.” They lack creativity.” They are less productive than younger employees.” and “They can’t work overtime.” are all based on false premises. ___17___ In the past, age was admired and honored. ___18___ This shift in attitude toward age hurts many career paths. Being over 40 is only acceptable in certain senior roles — for example; in management and politics, where people trust those with decades of experience. Many people over 40 are stuck in their current jobs because opportunities are limited. ___19___ Undoubtedly, it will give rise to serious social issues sooner or later. So, it’s high time to end age-based discrimination. We should not fear or feel embarrassed to state our age. Age brings wisdom, experience, knowledge, resilience, and more. Age and experience deserve rewards, not bias. ___20___ After all, we all grow old eventually. A Experience is a treasure gained only through time. B. Thus, we should value age instead of seeing it as a weakness. C. Ageism is thus more hidden than other kinds of discrimination. D. Today, however, it is often viewed with disrespect. E. And limited chances make their professional lives unpromising. F. Such wrong ideas ignore the real value of older workers. G. This disregard worsens due to society’s wrong focus on youth. 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。 In January 2018, I was commuting (通勤) from Brooklyn to New Jersey.

Marion Thomas, the CEO, was busy preparing for the annual Christmas toy giveaway. For the past ten years, the center had been a lifeline for low-income families, providing not only food but also clothing and medical supplies. As December approached, anticipation filled the air. Marion and her small team were excitedly wrapping up toys and organizing holiday meals for homebound seniors. “This year, we’re delivering turkeys, stuffing, and blankets along with their usual groceries”, Marion announced, her eyes shining with enthusiasm. However, disaster struck just two weeks before Christmas. On a Monday morning, Marion and her team learned that a critical delivery of groceries had been delayed due to a severe winter storm. “The truck won’t make it in time,” the supplier informed her, concern evident in his voice. Without those groceries, many families and seniors would miss out on their holiday meals. Marion felt a wave of despair wash over her. “What are we going to do?” she thought, her mind racing. They had spent weeks planning for this moment, and now it seemed like everything was falling apart. Quickly, she gathered her team for an emergency meeting. They brainstormed solutions, knowing they had to find a way to make this work. As the hours passed, Marion made a quick post on social media asking for help from the community. That evening, she received a call from Kathryn Brown, a longtime friend. “Don’t worry.” Kathryn reassured her. “We’ll figure this out.” The next day, Kathryn and her assistants arrived at blessed Angels, ready to assist. They mobilized (动员) the community, reaching out to local grocery stores and businesses for donations. “We can’t let our families go without during the holidays,” Kathryn said, her determination infectious. Local stores responded generously, providing fresh produce, canned goods, and holiday treats. With the volunteers working together, they managed to gather enough food to meet their needs. Marion felt a wave of hope as she watched the community rally around (齐心协力帮助) them. 注意： (1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day of the toy giveaway arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “It was an amazing Christmas for the kids,” Marion said, her heart filled with pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西宁二中教育集团2025—2026学年第一学期 高三年级英语学科十二月考试卷 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) 1．Where does the conversation probably take place?

I worked as a photographer in Liverpool and in the summer of 2016, I embarked on a solo 1,000-mile (1,600km) route through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and I did the majority of it on foot. Slow travel has allowed me to have amazing encounters with people from all walks of life. Plus, I’m not a natural at striking up conversations with strangers. So when mapping out my next trip, I landed on the idea that being accompanied by a pack animal would make me look appealing enough for people to initiate a chat. I found a donkey from a local farm.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为摄影师，先后开启两次徒步冒险，尤其在第二次旅程中，与训练后的驴子Martin结伴穿越英国，克服地形挑战的同时，收获他人善意并重新建立对他人信任的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“So when mapping out my next trip, I landed on the idea that being accompanied by a pack animal would make me look appealing enough for people to initiate a chat.(所以在规划下一次旅行时，我突然想到：如果有一头驮兽陪着我，或许会让我看起来更有亲和力，这样别人就会主动过来聊天了。)”可知，作者带驴旅行是因为他认为驮兽能让自己看起来更有亲和力，从而让别人主动开启对话，即让自己变得容易接近。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, I realised that walking a donkey around suburban streets does not in any way prepare you for walking across the West Highlands, an extremely challenging landscape: hilly, mostly moorland (荒原), with all kinds of biting insects. For the first six weeks, I felt extremely out of my depth, and constantly questioned whether or not I should be doing the walk and whether Martin was enjoying it.(然而我很快发现，在郊区街道上牵着驴走，完全无法为穿越西高地做准备。那里的地形极具挑战性：丘陵遍布，大部分是荒原，还有各种各样会叮咬人的昆虫。在最初的六个星期里，我一直感到力不从心，还不断质疑自己是否该继续这段旅程，也担心Martin是否喜欢这样的行程。)”可知，作者在该段既描述了西高地地形复杂、有叮咬昆虫的困难，也表达了自己力不从心、不断质疑行程的自我怀疑。故选 C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I’ve always had a keen sense of adventure. I worked as a photographer in Liverpool and in the summer of 2016, I embarked on a solo 1,000-mile (1,600km) route through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and I did the majority of it on foot.(我一直对冒险有着强烈的渴望。我曾在利物浦担任摄影师，2016年夏天，我开启了一段独自穿越乌兹别克斯坦、塔吉克斯坦和吉尔吉斯斯坦的旅程，全程约1600公里，其中大部分路程我都是徒步完成的。)”可知，作者热爱冒险；再根据文章第五段“The walk was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but I don’t like quitting.(这段徒步是我做过的最艰难的事情之一，但我不喜欢半途而废。)”可知，作者面对困难不放弃，具备坚持不懈的品质。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The walk helped to restore my faith in people and taught me that endlessly worrying — like about where we were going to camp each night — doesn’t solve anything. Not only did I walk the entire length of the UK, but I also made a lifelong friend with a 15-year-old donkey called Martin.(这段旅程不仅让我重新找回了对他人的信任，还教会我一个道理：过度焦虑（比如担心每天晚上该在哪里露营）毫无用处，根本解决不了任何问题。最终，我不仅徒步走完了英国全境，还和一头名叫Martin的15岁驴子成了一辈子的朋友。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者带着名叫Martin的驴一起徒步英国的经历，这段经历帮助作者重新找回了对他人的信任。故选D。 C If you ask a Westerner to name a successful Chinese consumer-goods brand, most would have struggled until recently. Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change. Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere. From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric cars silently passing by are increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, an ice-cream and cold drinks company, has overtaken McDonald’s to become the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. It is expanding in South America, as is Meituan, a Beijing-based delivery app. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1, 300 stores outside China by the end of 2027, mostly in Southeast Asia; just a few years ago, it had almost none. Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. It is impossible not to admire the creative force behind these successful enterprises. Western consumers have been buying products made in China for decades. However, these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity. New companies are now challenging these old assumptions. Many proudly emphasize their Chinese heritage. For example, Chagee’s logo features a Peking Opera singer in full costume, and its name comes from “Farewell, My Concubine,” a classic Chinese opera. The video game “Black Myth: Wukong,” one of the most successful ever, features the Monkey King from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. Today, many Chinese brands compete not only on price but also on quality. Chagee’s drinks can even be as expensive as Starbucks’. Western companies will need to wake up and take notice of bubble tea. In the future, they will have to make more efforts to understand Chinese consumers’ unique tastes. Some may even partner with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China could eventually push Disney, Mattel toys, and other major Western brands to reach new levels of creativity. 8. What does the underlined part “created a buzz” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Caused public excitement. B. Made a loud noise. C. Lost great popularity. D. Received negative comments. 9. How did the western consumers find Chinese brands? A. Full of imagination. B. Short of creativity. C. Quality guaranteed. D. Mass produced. 10. What is the author’s advice for the western brands? A. Notice different bubble tea. B. Ignore the Chinese influence. C. Cooperate with Chinese brands. D. Lower the price of the products. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of Chinese retail brands. B. How foreign firms win Chinese customers. C Why Chinese products were unpopular before. D. The rise of innovative Chinese brands globally. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国消费品牌在全球范围内迅速崛起的现象。尽管过去中国以制造为主，缺乏自主品牌，但现在像Mixue、Meituan、Chagee等创新品牌已在全球市场取得成功，引发西方品牌的关注和反思，迫使它们重视中国市场和合作。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine - toothed dolls, called Labubus.(与此同时，中国玩具公司泡泡玛特凭借其不同寻常的咧嘴露九颗牙的玩偶Labubus，引起了和迪士尼一样的……。)”可知，泡泡玛特凭借其独特的玩偶和迪士尼一样引起了公众的广泛关注和兴奋，所以“created a buzz”意思是“引起了公众的兴奋”。A选项“Caused public excitement.(引发公众的兴奋)”符合语境。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“However, these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity. (然而，这些商品大多是由外国公司设计并生产的。长期以来，中国品牌一直被认为质量低劣且缺乏创新性。)”可知，西方消费者认为中国品牌缺乏创造力。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Some may even partner with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration.(一些西方公司甚至可能与创新的中国公司合作，以获得洞察力和灵感。)”可知，作者建议西方品牌与中国品牌合作。C选项“Cooperate with Chinese brands.( 与中国品牌合作。)”符合题意。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change.(尽管中国是全球领先的制造业大国，但长期以来，在打造富有创意、本土原创的零售品牌及产品方面，中国一直落后于其他国家。不过，这种情况正在发生改变。)”以及第二段中“Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere.(创新的中国品牌无处不在。)”以及后文对中国品牌在全球崛起的描述可知，文章主要讲述了创新的中国品牌在全球的崛起。D选项“The rise of innovative Chinese brands globally.(中国创新品牌在全球范围内的崛起。)”符合题意。故选D。 D Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 12. What is an advantage of physical buttons over touchscreens? A. They are cheaper to produce and replace. B. They are easier to see in bright sunlight. C. They can be operated without looking at them. D. They allow control of a wider range of functions. 13. Which took the longest time in the 2022 study? A. The model running at 110 km/h. B. The old model with real buttons. C. The best-performing modern car. D. The worst-performing modern car. 14. How does the author prove his argument in the passage? A. By showing different research results. B. By telling his own driving experience. C. By comparing the actions of car drivers. D. By mentioning the rules of an organization. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Safety features will be smarter. B. Touchscreens will be abandoned. C. Voice control will dominate the market. D. In-car control will innovate continually. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了汽车中触摸屏与物理按钮的对比，通过研究数据和安全指南表明物理按钮在操作安全性上的优势，并提及汽车内部控制方式将持续创新。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder.(驾驶员熟悉物理控件的位置，无需移开注视路面的视线即可完成按键操作。而触控屏无法提供实体反馈，使得操作难度显著增加)”可知，与触摸屏相比，实体按钮的优势在于司机无需转移视线即可操作。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds.(在旧款车上，司机能在大约10秒内完成所有任务，而表现最差的现代汽车需要45秒)”可知，2022年的研究中耗时最长的是表现最差的现代汽车。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons.(2022年，瑞典汽车杂志《Vi Bilagare》测量了司机在以每小时110公里的速度行驶时，调节温度等操作所需的时间。该研究将11辆配备触摸屏的汽车与一辆配备实体按钮的旧款车型进行了比较)”和第四段中“Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen.(2024年，挪威的研究人员进行了另一项研究，他们使用追踪摄像头来比较司机在使用触摸屏执行不同任务时的分心时间)”可知，作者通过引用瑞典和挪威的研究数据，对比触摸屏与实体按钮的操作效率，进而证明实体按钮更安全。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story.(传统汽车制造商已经开始在新车型中恢复一些按钮。但创新从未停止。尽管触摸屏逐渐失宠，但许多制造商已将注意力转向语音控制——不过这是另一个话题了)”可知，汽车内部控制方式正经历从触摸屏到语音控制的持续创新。故选D项。 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。 Breaking Age Bias in the Workplace Ageism in the workplace is a harsh reality, yet it is often overlooked. While people voice strong objections to other forms of discrimination like sexism and racism, they turn a blind eye to ageism and sweep it under the carpet. ___16___ We live in a youth-centered society, and the hype around “out with the old, in with the new” must end. Experience cannot be found on Google. A person’s age does not reduce their ability to work hard or make valuable contributions to an organization or society. Reaching 35+ does not mean someone is incompetent and should be declined. Myths such as “They can’t learn.” They lack creativity.” They are less productive than younger employees.” and “They can’t work overtime.” are all based on false premises. ___17___ In the past, age was admired and honored. ___18___ This shift in attitude toward age hurts many career paths. Being over 40 is only acceptable in certain senior roles — for example; in management and politics, where people trust those with decades of experience. Many people over 40 are stuck in their current jobs because opportunities are limited. ___19___ Undoubtedly, it will give rise to serious social issues sooner or later. So, it’s high time to end age-based discrimination. We should not fear or feel embarrassed to state our age. Age brings wisdom, experience, knowledge, resilience, and more. Age and experience deserve rewards, not bias. ___20___ After all, we all grow old eventually. A. Experience is a treasure gained only through time. B. Thus, we should value age instead of seeing it as a weakness. C. Ageism is thus more hidden than other kinds of discrimination. D. Today, however, it is often viewed with disrespect. E. And limited chances make their professional lives unpromising. F. Such wrong ideas ignore the real value of older workers. G. This disregard worsens due to society’s wrong focus on youth. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章指出职场年龄偏见是一个常被忽视的残酷现实，对比了过去与现在社会对年龄态度的转变，揭示了年龄偏见带来的危害，最后呼吁终结年龄歧视，重视年龄与经验的价值。 【16题详解】 上文“Ageism in the workplace is a harsh reality, yet it is often overlooked. While people voice strong objections to other forms of discrimination like sexism and racism, they turn a blind eye to ageism and sweep it under the carpet. (职场年龄偏见是一个残酷的现实，但它往往被忽视。人们会强烈反对性别歧视、种族歧视等其他歧视形式，却对年龄歧视视而不见、掩盖回避。)”强调了年龄歧视的隐蔽性，下文“We live in a youth-centered society, and the hype around ‘out with the old, in with the new’ must end. (我们生活在一个以年轻为中心的社会，这种‘喜新厌旧’的炒作必须停止。)”指出当下社会以年轻为导向的特点。G项“这种忽视因社会对年轻的错误关注而愈发严重。”承上启下，“this disregard”指代上文的“turn a blind eye to ageism”、“society’s wrong focus on youth”衔接下文的“youth-centered society”，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“Reaching 35+ does not mean someone is incompetent and should be declined. Myths such as ‘They can’t learn.’ They lack creativity.’ They are less productive than younger employees.’ and ‘They can’t work overtime.’ are all based on false premises. (年过35岁并不意味着一个人能力不足、应该被拒之门外。诸如‘他们学不会’‘他们缺乏创造力’‘他们比年轻员工效率低’‘他们不能加班’之类的荒诞说法，都是基于错误的前提。)”列举了针对大龄职场人士的错误看法，F项“这些错误的观点忽视了年长员工的真正价值。”承接上文，“such wrong ideas”指代上文的各类荒诞说法，点明这些观点的危害，贴合段落反对年龄偏见的核心逻辑。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“In the past, age was admired and honored. (在过去，年龄是受人敬仰和尊重的。)”讲述了过去社会对年龄的正面态度，下文“This shift in attitude toward age hurts many career paths. (这种对年龄态度的转变伤害了很多人的职业发展。)”指出态度转变带来的负面影响，因此空格处需明确体现“过去与现在的态度差异”。D项“然而如今，它却常被不尊重。”承接上文，“however”表转折，清晰区分“过去受敬仰”与“现在受轻视”的态度差异，直接支撑下文的“shift in attitude（态度转变）”。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文“Many people over 40 are stuck in their current jobs because opportunities are limited. (许多40岁以上的人因为机会有限而被困在现有的工作岗位上。)”点明了大龄职场人士面临的机会困境，下文“Undoubtedly, it will give rise to serious social issues sooner or later. (毫无疑问，这迟早会引发严重的社会问题。)”指出这种困境的潜在危害。E项“而有限的机会让他们的职业生涯前景黯淡。”承接上文，“limited chances”与上文的“opportunities are limited”直接呼应，进一步说明机会受限的负面影响，同时衔接下文的社会问题，逻辑通顺。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“So, it’s high time to end age-based discrimination. We should not fear or feel embarrassed to state our age. Age brings wisdom, experience, knowledge, resilience, and more. Age and experience deserve rewards, not bias. (因此，是时候终结基于年龄的歧视了。我们不必害怕或羞于说出自己的年龄。年龄带来了智慧、经验、知识、韧性等等。年龄和经验值得获得回报，而非偏见。)”呼吁重视年龄的价值，反对年龄歧视，下文“After all, we all grow old eventually. (毕竟，我们每个人最终都会变老。)”从共性角度强化观点。B项“因此，我们应该重视年龄，而非将其视为弱点。”承接上文，“thus”体现因果逻辑，总结重视年龄价值的观点，同时呼应下文“人人都会变老”的表述，符合文章主旨。故选B。 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。 In January 2018, I was commuting (通勤) from Brooklyn to New Jersey.

Marion Thomas, the CEO, was busy preparing for the annual Christmas toy giveaway. For the past ten years, the center had been a lifeline for low-income families, providing not only food but also clothing and medical supplies. As December approached, anticipation filled the air. Marion and her small team were excitedly wrapping up toys and organizing holiday meals for homebound seniors. “This year, we’re delivering turkeys, stuffing, and blankets along with their usual groceries”, Marion announced, her eyes shining with enthusiasm. However, disaster struck just two weeks before Christmas. On a Monday morning, Marion and her team learned that a critical delivery of groceries had been delayed due to a severe winter storm. “The truck won’t make it in time,” the supplier informed her, concern evident in his voice. Without those groceries, many families and seniors would miss out on their holiday meals. Marion felt a wave of despair wash over her. “What are we going to do?” she thought, her mind racing. They had spent weeks planning for this moment, and now it seemed like everything was falling apart. Quickly, she gathered her team for an emergency meeting. They brainstormed solutions, knowing they had to find a way to make this work. As the hours passed, Marion made a quick post on social media asking for help from the community. That evening, she received a call from Kathryn Brown, a longtime friend. “Don’t worry.” Kathryn reassured her. “We’ll figure this out.” The next day, Kathryn and her assistants arrived at blessed Angels, ready to assist. They mobilized (动员) the community, reaching out to local grocery stores and businesses for donations. “We can’t let our families go without during the holidays,” Kathryn said, her determination infectious. Local stores responded generously, providing fresh produce, canned goods, and holiday treats. With the volunteers working together, they managed to gather enough food to meet their needs. Marion felt a wave of hope as she watched the community rally around (齐心协力帮助) them. 注意： (1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day of the toy giveaway arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “It was an amazing Christmas for the kids,” Marion said, her heart filled with pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, the day of the toy giveaway arrived. The community center was bustling with joy. Families lined up with smiling children, their eyes sparkling at the piles of wrapped toys and neatly packed food baskets. Marion and volunteers handed out gifts one by one, chatting warmly with each family. A little girl hugged a teddy bear tightly and thanked them, her voice sweet. For homebound seniors, teams delivered turkeys, blankets and toys to their doors, bringing laughter to quiet rooms. The earlier crisis felt far away, replaced by the warmth of togetherness. “It was an amazing Christmas for the kids,” Marion said, her heart filled with pride. She looked back on how the community had rallied when they needed it most, turning despair into hope. Kathryn stood beside her, nodding in agreement: “This is what community is about — lifting each other up.” That day, Marion realized the true holiday spirit wasn’t just in gifts, but in the love and support shared among neighbors. The center’s mission had been fulfilled, and the memory of this Christmas would warm their hearts for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“圣诞玩具捐赠活动”为线索，讲述了圣安东尼奥Blessed Angels社区中心筹备年度圣诞玩具捐赠时，因暴风雪导致关键食品物资延迟送达陷入困境，负责人玛丽昂求助社区后，在好友凯瑟琳的协助下，社区商户和志愿者踊跃捐赠，成功筹足物资的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“终于，玩具捐赠日到了。”可知，本段可描述捐赠活动现场的温馨场景，传递节日喜悦。 ② 由第二段首句““对孩子们来说，这是一个美好圣诞节，”玛丽昂自豪地说。”可知，本段以玛丽昂的视角升华主题，通过回忆社区互助的经历、与凯瑟琳的对话，点明“社区的意义在于彼此扶持”的核心感悟。 2. 续写线索：捐赠日来临——社区中心热闹温馨——分发礼物食品并上门慰问老人——活动圆满开展——玛丽昂自豪感悟——回顾社区互助历程——点明节日真谛——铭记温馨回忆 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 挤满：bustle with/be crowded with ② 分发：hand out/distribute ③ 递送：deliver/send ⑤ 扶持：lift up/support 情感类 ① 绝望：despair/hopelessness ② 温暖：warmth/kindness ③ 高兴：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Families lined up with smiling children, their eyes sparkling at the piles of wrapped toys and neatly packed food baskets.（运用独立主格结构“their eyes sparkling at...”作伴随状语） [高分句型2].
