The annual ranking by Travel and Tour World (TTW) reveals a list heavily influenced by reader feedback, highlighting a continued thirst for both short-haul sun escapes and transformative long-haul journeys. Spain’s Tenerife maintains its top position, a testament to its enduring appeal with year-round sunshine and volcanic landscapes. It’s not just about beaches; the island is expanding its offerings with new cultural and scenic experiences to meet growing demand. Meanwhile, the legendary Route 66 in the United States cracks the top ten, indicating a strong appetite for iconic road trips filled with history and quirky Americana. The list also signals a shift towards lesser-known cultural gems. Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ula, with its stunning desert landscapes and ancient Nabatean tombs, appears as a rising star. In a surprising entry, the UK’s own Hull, a city with a rich maritime heritage, has earned a spot on National Geographic’s parallel “must-visit” list for 2026. Its transformation, anchored by historic vessels like the Arctic Corsair trawler and the Spurn Lightship, showcases how industrial heritage can be repurposed into compelling tourist destinations. Industry expert Anup Kumar Keshan notes that the trends are clear: “sun and beach getaways” remain powerful, but there is a growing, parallel demand for “culturally immersive experiences”. This duality defines the 2026 traveller—seeking relaxation without sacrificing depth, and comfort alongside discovery. The world, it seems, is not shrinking but expanding, offering layers of experience waiting to be unpacked by the curious traveler. 1. What is the primary source of influence for the TTW’s 2026 destination ranking? A. Feedback from its readers. B. Predictions from financial analysts. C. Recommendations from government tourism boards. D. Data from airline booking systems. 2. Why is the city of Hull mentioned in the passage? A. To contrast it with more popular beach destinations. B. To exemplify a destination revitalized through its historical assets. C. To criticize the lack of modern attractions in the UK. D. To demonstrate the decline of traditional tourism. 3. Which of the following best summarizes the dual trend identified by Anup Kumar Keshan? A. A shift from group tours to strictly solo travel. B. A decline in travel spending due to economic uncertainty. C. A preference for both leisure-oriented and culturally deep experiences. D. A move away from international travel to domestic tourism. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍2026年英国旅行者的出行偏好，展示了热门目的地排名及趋势，既包括经典目的地，也有新兴文化胜地，还提及了双重旅行需求趋势。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The annual ranking by Travel and Tour World (TTW) reveals a list heavily influenced by reader feedback, highlighting a continued thirst for both short-haul sun escapes and transformative long-haul journeys.(《旅游与旅行世界》（TTW）的年度排名显示，这份榜单深受读者反馈的影响，凸显出人们对短途阳光度假和具有变革性的长途旅行的持续渴望)”可知，TTW 2026年目的地排名的主要影响来源是读者的反馈。故选A项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Its transformation, anchored by historic vessels like the Arctic Corsair trawler and the Spurn Lightship, showcases how industrial heritage can be repurposed into compelling tourist destinations.(以“北极海盗号”拖网渔船和斯彭恩灯塔船等历史船只为核心的转型，展示了工业遗产如何被重新利用为具有吸引力的旅游目的地)”可知，文章提及赫尔市，是为了举例说明一个通过其历史资产焕发新生的目的地。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Industry expert Anup Kumar Keshan notes that the trends are clear: ‘sun and beach getaways’ remain powerful, but there is a growing, parallel demand for ‘culturally immersive experiences’. This duality defines the 2026 traveller—seeking relaxation without sacrificing depth, and comfort alongside discovery.(行业专家阿努普·库马尔·凯尚指出，趋势很明显：“阳光沙滩度假”依然极具吸引力，但同时对“沉浸式文化体验”的需求也在不断增长。这种双重性定义了2026年的旅行者——在不牺牲体验深度的前提下寻求放松，在探索的同时兼顾舒适)”可知，阿努普·库马尔·凯尚发现的双重趋势是人们既偏好休闲导向的体验，也喜欢有文化深度的体验。故选C项。 B The Unlikely Beginning The conference room was stifling, the air thick with the scent of stale coffee and unspoken skepticism. Rob Reiner, then known to the public only as “Mike Stivic,” the liberal son-in-law from All in the Family, felt the weight of every gaze. He wasn’t an actor here; he was a first-time director pitching a movie no one believed in — a coming-of-age story set in the 1950s, adapted from a Stephen King novella, titled Stand by Me. His mind flashed back to the initial phone call with the studio head. The voice on the line had been polite but dismissive. “Rob, it’s a small story. Boys, a dead body...where’s the market?” They saw a sitcom star dabbling in whimsy. They didn’t see the quiet obsession that had gripped Reiner for months, the clarity with which he could already visualize the misty Oregon tracks, the dynamic between the four young boys, the fragile bridge between childhood and adulthood. The real turning point, the one that never made the press releases, happened in a cramped editing suite weeks before this meeting. Reiner was watching the raw footage of the famous campfire scene, where the boys share their deepest fears. The takes were good, but something was missing — the profound, vulnerable silence that follows a shared secret. Frustrated, he asked the editor to strip the scene of all music and stretch the pause after the last line. For five full seconds, the screen held only on the actors’ faces, flickering in the firelight, a complex tapestry of bravado melting into innocence. In that silence, Reiner found the soul of his film. It was no longer just a “kids’ adventure”; it was a meditation on memory and loss. Leaning forward in the oppressive conference room, Reiner bypassed the box-office projections his producers loved. Instead, he described that campfire silence. He spoke of the universal ache of growing up, the friendships that define us, and the specific, unshakeable feeling of a first summer without a safety net. He wasn’t just selling a movie; he was offering an emotional truth. The room’s energy shifted, almost imperceptibly. The skepticism didn’t evaporate, but it made room for curiosity. Years later, Stand by Me would be hailed as a classic. But its journey began not with a bang, but with a director’s fight to preserve a powerful, risky silence — a quiet moment that would echo loudly for generations. 4. What was the major obstacle Rob Reiner faced at the beginning of the project? A. A lack of talented young actors for the main roles. B. The industry’s prejudice against him based on his sitcom background. C. Stephen King’s refusal to adapt the novella. D. Extreme difficulties in finding suitable filming locations. 5. What does the underlined phrase “dabbling in whimsy” in Paragraph 2 imply about the studio’s view of Reiner? A. They thought he was a highly innovative and serious artist. B. They believed he was casually engaged in an unserious project. C. They were impressed by his diverse career ambitions. D. They considered him an expert in childhood stories. 6. What does the “turning point” in the editing suite reveal about Reiner’s directorial approach? A. He relied heavily on test audience scores to make decisions. B. He prioritized technical perfection over emotional resonance. C. He understood that emotional impact could hinge on subtle, deliberate choices. D. He was willing to let the film editor make all creative decisions. 7. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the title “The Unlikely Beginning”? A. The film was based on an unlikely source, a horror writer’s story. B. The director’s previous career made his success in film directing seem improbable. C. The film’s production started during an unlikely season, winter. D. The first day of shooting was filled with unlikely accidents. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了罗伯·莱纳执导《伴我同行》的艰难开端，以及他凭借对电影情感内核的把握突破阻碍的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Rob Reiner, then known to the public only as “Mike Stivic,” the liberal son-in-law from All in the Family, felt the weight of every gaze.(罗布·里纳尔当时在公众面前的身份只是“迈克·斯蒂维克”——他是《全家福》中那位自由派的女婿，此刻他感受到了众人目光的沉重压力)”以及第二段中的“They saw a sitcom star dabbling in whimsy.(他们认为这位情景喜剧明星只是在涉足一些异想天开的事)”可知，罗伯·莱纳最初面临的主要障碍是业界因他的情景喜剧背景而对他抱有偏见，不认可他能执导好电影。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The voice on the line had been polite but dismissive. “Rob, it’s a small story. Boys, a dead body...where’s the market?”(电话那头的声音礼貌却带着不屑：“罗伯，这只是个小故事，讲几个男孩和一具尸体……市场在哪里？”)”以及“They saw a sitcom star dabbling in whimsy.”可知，制片厂对罗伯·莱纳的项目不以为然，认为身为情景喜剧明星的他只是在随意尝试一个不严肃的项目。由此推知，“dabbling in whimsy”意为“随意涉足不严肃的事”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Frustrated, he asked the editor to strip the scene of all music and stretch the pause after the last line. For five full seconds, the screen held only on the actors’ faces, flickering in the firelight, a complex tapestry of bravado melting into innocence. In that silence, Reiner found the soul of his film.(失望之下，他让剪辑师删掉场景中的所有音乐，并延长最后一句台词后的停顿。整整五秒钟，屏幕上只有演员们在火光中闪烁的脸庞，一幅由虚张声势渐渐化为纯真的复杂画面。在那片寂静中，莱纳找到了他电影的灵魂)”可知，莱纳通过删减音乐、延长停顿这一细微且刻意的处理，赋予了场景情感内核，体现出他明白情感冲击力可能取决于微妙、精心的选择。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中“He wasn’t an actor here; he was a first-time director pitching a movie no one believed in(他在这里不是演员；而是一名首次执导的导演，正在推销一部无人看好的电影)”以及第二段中的“They saw a sitcom star dabbling in whimsy.(他们认为这位情景喜剧明星只是在涉足一些异想天开的事)”可知，罗伯·莱纳此前是情景喜剧演员，这一身份让他作为导演的首次尝试显得极不可能成功，这正是“看似不可能的开端”的核心含义，即这位导演的过往职业经历，曾让他在电影执导领域的成功显得几乎不可能。故选B项。 C The rise of the “digital nomad” — professionals who leverage technology to work remotely from anywhere — is often celebrated as the ultimate liberation from the cubicle. However, beneath the glossy Instagram feeds of laptops on tropical beaches lies a more complex economic phenomenon that is quietly reshaping the geography of talent and prosperity. This trend, accelerated by the pandemic, is not just changing where people live; it is challenging the fundamental link between high-value labor and traditional urban economic hubs. For decades, economic vitality was concentrated in megacities that acted as magnets for corporations and skilled workers. This agglomeration created powerful feedback loops: talent attracted business, which attracted more talent, driving up real estate prices and local tax revenues. The digital nomad, untethered from physical offices, disrupts this model. A software engineer from San Francisco can now generate her substantial income while residing in a small town in Portugal or Thailand. While this brings an influx of spending power to these “lifestyle destinations,” it also presents a paradox. The nomad’s economic output — the value she creates — is disconnected from her local consumption. Her taxes (if properly filed) likely go to her country of legal residence or employment, not the local municipality whose infrastructure and services she uses. This creates a potential crisis for the funding model of cities. Furthermore, the arrival of affluent nomads can drive up living costs for local residents, a form of economic displacement without the corresponding job creation that traditional industry brings. Conversely, it offers a lifeline to declining rural regions or smaller cities that can attract this mobile class. Towns are now actively crafting policies, from special visas to co-working space subsidies, to compete for this demographic. The long-term implications are profound. We may be moving toward a “spiky world” where pockets of high-end consumption are geographically dispersed, no longer tied to centers of production. This could alleviate pressure on overpopulated megacities but also weaken their tax base. It forces a reevaluation of concepts like “community” and “economic contribution.” Is a digital nomad who lives somewhere for three months a resident? What is their responsibility to the local society they temporarily join? The challenge for policymakers is to harness the benefits of this mobility — revitalizing regions, spreading wealth — while devising new mechanisms to ensure that the places these nomads call home, however temporarily, can sustainably provide the services and quality of life they seek. 8. What is the central paradox associated with digital nomads as described in the passage? A. They seek a better quality of life but often work longer hours than office-based professionals. B. They generate high economic value but contribute minimally to the local tax base of their temporary residences. C. They promote globalization but often rely on local, non-digital services for their daily needs. D. They are highly skilled yet often face difficulties in securing stable, long-term employment contracts. 9. The phrase “spiky world” (Para. 4) most likely refers to a global landscape where ________. A. economic inequality between nations becomes even more pronounced B. technological infrastructure is concentrated in only a few advanced countries C. centers of high consumption are scattered and decoupled from centers of production D. remote work leads to increased isolation and a decline in collaborative innovation 10. What is one potential positive outcome of the digital nomad trend mentioned in the passage? A. The inevitable decline of all major global cities. B. The creation of a universal basic income funded by remote workers. C. The economic revitalization of declining rural areas or small towns. D. The standardization of global tax policies for freelance workers. 11. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Instagram Illusion: Unraveling the Digital Nomad Myth. B. Beyond the Beach: The Economic Ripple Effects of Remote Work. C. Office Optional: A Guide to Becoming a Successful Digital Nomad. D. Taxing Nomads: The New Policy Challenge for National Governments. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“数字游民”群体兴起的现象，分析其对传统城市经济模式的冲击、引发的矛盾及长远经济与社会影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The nomad’s economic output — the value she creates — is disconnected from her local consumption. Her taxes (if properly filed) likely go to her country of legal residence or employment, not the local municipality whose infrastructure and services she uses.(这些数字游民创造的经济价值，与他们在当地的消费是脱节的。他们缴纳的税款（如果合规申报的话）往往流向其法定居住国或就业所在国，而非他们享用基础设施和公共服务的当地市政部门。)”可知，数字游民的核心矛盾在于他们创造了高额经济价值，却对临时居住地的地方税收贡献甚微。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“We may be moving toward a “spiky world” where pockets of high-end consumption are geographically dispersed, no longer tied to centers of production. (我们或许正朝着一个“spiky world”迈进，在这样的世界里，高端消费区域在地理上呈现分散状态，不再与生产中心紧密绑定。)”可知，“spiky world”指的是高端消费中心分布零散、与生产中心相互脱节的全球格局。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Conversely, it offers a lifeline to declining rural regions or smaller cities that can attract this mobile class.(相反，这一趋势为那些能够吸引这类流动群体的衰落乡村地区或小型城市提供了一条生路。)”可知，数字游民趋势带来的一个潜在积极影响是能够推动衰落的乡村或小城镇实现经济振兴。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇点明数字游民现象看似是摆脱办公室束缚的自由选择，实则是重塑人才与繁荣地理分布的复杂经济现象，随后分析其对传统城市经济聚集模式的冲击、引发的税收与民生矛盾，以及对未来经济格局和政策的深远影响，核心是探讨远程工作背后的经济连锁反应。因此“Beyond the Beach: The Economic Ripple Effects of Remote Work(不止于海滩：远程工作的经济连锁反应)”最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Art history, as traditionally narrated, is a story of geniuses: Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Picasso. Their monumental works and revolutionary styles form the pillars of our museums and textbooks. This “great man” approach, however, constructs a narrow corridor through the vast cathedral of artistic production. In recent decades, scholars have turned their attention to the periphery of this narrative, arguing that a richer understanding of cultural history emerges from studying the networks, workshops, and “minor” figures who formed the essential ecosystem in which genius could flourish. Sofonisba Anguissola (1532–1625) serves as a compelling case study. An Italian Renaissance painter of noble birth, she achieved international fame in her lifetime, even becoming a court painter to the Spanish king. Yet, for centuries after her death, she was relegated to a footnote, often remembered more for being a rare successful female artist than for her artistic merit. A closer examination of her work and career reveals why she is pivotal. Largely barred from studying anatomy or drawing from live male models (standard training for her male counterparts), Anguissola pioneered a new genre: the intimate, psychologically nuanced portrait, often of her own family members. Her painting “The Chess Game” is a masterclass in naturalism and character depiction, capturing a moment of lively interaction between her sisters. Her influence radiated through channels often ignored by the genius-centric model. As a teacher, she influenced the young Anthony van Dyck. More subtly, her sophisticated portraits, circulated through prints and the movement of courtly elites, helped disseminate the Italian Renaissance aesthetic across Europe. Her success also created a fragile but tangible path for subsequent women artists like Lavinia Fontana and Artemisia Gentileschi. Reinserting Anguissola into the narrative does not merely add a name to a list. It forces a reconceptualization of the Renaissance itself. It shifts focus from isolated masterpieces to artistic exchange, from individual inspiration to the constraints and opportunities of societal structures (like gender and class). It asks us to consider art not as a series of seismic disruptions by solitary giants, but as a collaborative and cumulative human endeavor, a conversation across time and space where every participant, regardless of subsequent fame, shapes the dialogue. The goal is not to topple the giants from their plinths but to rebuild the bustling, vibrant city square in which they once stood. 12. What is the primary purpose of the passage? A. To provide a detailed biography of Sofonisba Anguissola. B. To critique the technical limitations of Renaissance female artists. C. To compare the artistic styles of Anguissola and Michelangelo. D. To advocate for a broader methodology in studying art history. 13. According to the passage, how did Anguissola’s constraints contribute to her innovation? A. They forced her to work on a smaller, less expensive scale, leading to greater detail. B. They led her to develop a new genre focused on informal, psychological portraiture. C. They motivated her to secretly study anatomy, resulting in more accurate human figures. D. They caused her to reject Renaissance ideals in favor of a more personal style. 14. The author mentions Anthony van Dyck primarily to ________. A. highlight the superiority of Flemish painting techniques B. demonstrate Anguissola’s direct role in shaping later artistic traditions C. contrast the training available to male and female artists D. list the famous artists who studied under Italian masters 15. What does the metaphor of “the bustling, vibrant city square” (last paragraph) represent? A. The complex, interactive context of artistic production. B. The competitive art market of the Renaissance. C. The forgotten masterpieces of minor artists. D. The public spaces where art was originally displayed. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章批判了传统艺术史“伟人论”的狭隘性，主张采用更广阔的研究方法，并以艺术家Sofonisba Anguissola为例，论证关注“边缘人物”对理解艺术史的重要性。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“This “great man” approach, however, constructs a narrow corridor through the vast cathedral of artistic production. In recent decades, scholars have turned their attention to the periphery of this narrative, arguing that a richer understanding of cultural history emerges from studying the networks, workshops, and ‘minor’ figures who formed the essential ecosystem in which genius could flourish.(然而，这种“伟人论”方法在浩瀚的艺术创作殿堂中开辟了一条狭窄的通道。近几十年来，学者们将注意力转向了这一叙事的边缘，认为通过研究构成天才得以蓬勃发展的重要生态系统的网络、工坊和“次要”人物，能更深入地理解文化史)”以及全文围绕这一观点，以 Sofonisba Anguissola为例展开论述可知，文章的主要目的是倡导一种更广阔的艺术史研究方法。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Largely barred from studying anatomy or drawing from live male models (standard training for her male counterparts), Anguissola pioneered a new genre: the intimate, psychologically nuanced portrait, often of her own family members.(由于基本上被禁止学习解剖学或临摹男性人体模特——这是她男性同行的标准训练内容，Anguissola开创了一种新流派：亲切、蕴含细腻心理活动的肖像画，对象通常是她自己的家人)”可知，Sofonisba Anguissola面临的限制促使她开创了以非正式、注重心理刻画的肖像画为核心的新流派。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Her influence radiated through channels often ignored by the genius-centric model. As a teacher, she influenced the young Anthony van Dyck.(她的影响力通过那些以天才为中心的模式经常忽略的渠道传播。作为一名教师，她影响了年轻的Anthony van Dyck)”可知，作者提及Anthony van Dyck，主要是为了证明Sofonisba Anguissola在塑造后来的艺术传统中所扮演的直接角色。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It shifts focus from isolated masterpieces to artistic exchange, from individual inspiration to the constraints and opportunities of societal structures (like gender and class). It asks us to consider art not as a series of seismic disruptions by solitary giants, but as a collaborative and cumulative human endeavor, a conversation across time and space where every participant, regardless of subsequent fame, shapes the dialogue. (它将关注点从孤立的杰作转向艺术交流，从个体灵感转向社会结构（如性别与阶级）所带来的制约与机遇。它促使我们不再将艺术视为由一个个独领风骚的巨匠所引发的一系列颠覆性变革，而是将其看作一项协作共进、薪火相传的人类事业，一场跨越时空的对话 —— 每一位参与者，无论其日后是否声名显赫，都在塑造着这场对话的走向)”可知，作者主张将艺术视为一项协作共进、薪火相传的人类事业，一场每位参与者都可以对其产生影响的对话，即艺术是互动的、复杂的。由此推测“the bustling, vibrant city square”这一比喻代表的是艺术创作复杂、互动的背景。故选A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。 Human memory is not a perfect recording device; it is a reconstructive process, more akin to storytelling than archival retrieval. Every time we recall an event, we subtly reshape it, influenced by subsequent experiences, suggestions, and our own beliefs. ____16____ This plasticity, while essential for learning and adaptation, becomes a critical vulnerability in the context of eyewitness testimony, which remains one of the most persuasive forms of evidence in courtrooms. Research in cognitive psychology has repeatedly demonstrated how easily memories can be contaminated. In a classic study, participants who watched a video of a car accident later “remembered” seeing broken glass if the questioner used the word “smashed” instead of “hit,” even though no glass was present. ____17____ This phenomenon, known as the misinformation effect, shows that leading questions from law enforcement can inadvertently plant false details into a witness’s memory, corrupting its accuracy. ____18____ Confidence is a poor predictor of accuracy. A witness who is absolutely certain of their identification is not significantly more likely to be correct than one who is hesitant, yet juries are overwhelmingly swayed by confidence. The stress and trauma often associated with witnessing a crime further impair memory encoding and recall, contrary to the popular belief that high stress makes events “burn” into memory. Given these inherent flaws, there is a growing movement to reform legal procedures. ____19____ Some jurisdictions now mandate “blind” lineups, where the administrator does not know the suspect’s identity, to prevent unconscious cues. Others require that confidence statements be taken at the time of identification, not later in court. Ultimately, the goal is not to discard eyewitness testimony altogether but to treat it with appropriate caution, as the fallible evidence it is. ____20____ By educating jurors about the science of memory and implementing evidence-based procedural safeguards, the justice system can better pursue its fundamental aim: convicting the guilty while protecting the innocent from the profound consequence of a mistaken memory. A. The legal system, however, has been slow to integrate these scientific insights. B. Furthermore, the correlation between memory confidence and memory accuracy is dangerously weak. C. This reconstructive nature makes our memories dynamic and adaptable. D. Jurors tend to place unquestioning faith in the accounts of confident eyewitnesses. E. Therefore, the reliance on technology like video surveillance should be increased. F. These reforms focus on improving the methods used to obtain testimony, not on discrediting the witness. G. Such findings have profound implications for how police interviews should be conducted. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人类记忆的重构性及不完美性，及其对目击证词的影响，并提及相关法律程序改革建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Human memory is not a perfect recording device; it is a reconstructive process, more akin to storytelling than archival retrieval.(人类的记忆并非完美的记录设备，它是一个重构过程，更像是讲故事而非档案检索)”以及下文“This plasticity, while essential for learning and adaptation(这种可塑性虽然对学习和适应至关重要)”可知，此处需衔接记忆的重构性与可塑性。C选项“This reconstructive nature makes our memories dynamic and adaptable.(这种重构性使我们的记忆具有动态性和适应性)”中reconstructive nature呼应上文核心，adaptable引出下文plasticity，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“In a classic study, participants who watched a video of a car accident later ‘remembered’ seeing broken glass if the questioner used the word ‘smashed’ instead of ‘hit,’ even though no glass was present.(在一项经典研究中，观看了车祸视频的参与者，若提问者用“猛撞”而非“撞击”一词，他们后来会“记得”看到了碎玻璃，尽管实际上并没有玻璃)”以及下文“This phenomenon, known as the misinformation effect, shows that leading questions from law enforcement can inadvertently plant false details into a witness’s memory.(这种被称为误导信息效应的现象表明，执法部门的引导性问题可能会无意中向证人记忆中植入虚假细节)”可知，此处需体现研究结果对执法问询的意义。G选项“Such findings have profound implications for how police interviews should be conducted.(这些发现对警方应如何进行问询具有深远意义)”中Such findings指代上文研究结果，衔接下文执法部门的问询问题，符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Confidence is a poor predictor of accuracy. A witness who is absolutely certain of their identification is not significantly more likely to be correct than one who is hesitant.(自信心并不能很好地预测准确性。对自己的指认深信不疑的证人，其正确率并不比犹豫不决的证人高多少)”可知，本段核心是记忆自信心与准确性的关联薄弱。B选项“Furthermore, the correlation between memory confidence and memory accuracy is dangerously weak.(此外，记忆自信心与记忆准确性之间的关联性弱得令人担忧)”作为段落主旨句，统领下文内容，符合语境。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Given these inherent flaws, there is a growing movement to reform legal procedures.(鉴于这些固有缺陷，改革法律程序的呼声日益高涨)”以及下文“Some jurisdictions now mandate “blind” lineups, where the administrator does not know the suspect’s identity, to prevent unconscious cues. Others require that confidence statements be taken at the time of identification, not later in court.(如今，部分司法管辖区强制推行“盲指认”程序 —— 即指认环节的执行者并不知晓嫌疑人的身份 —— 以此杜绝无意识的暗示行为。另有一些司法管辖区则要求，证人对自身证词可信度的陈述必须在指认当场作出，而非留待庭审阶段再补充)”可知，此处需衔接法律改革及具体举措。F选项“These reforms focus on improving the methods used to obtain testimony, not on discrediting the witness.(这些改革侧重于改进获取证词的方法，而非质疑证人的可信度)”中These reforms呼应上文改革运动，引出下文具体改革措施，符合语境。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Ultimately, the goal is not to discard eyewitness testimony altogether but to treat it with appropriate caution, as the fallible evidence it is.(归根结底，我们的目标并非完全摒弃目击证词，而是以应有的谨慎态度对待它，承认其作为易出错证据的本质)”以及下文“By educating jurors about the science of memory and implementing evidence-based procedural safeguards(通过向陪审员普及记忆科学知识并实施基于证据的程序保障措施)”可知，此处需衔接对目击证词的态度与具体保障手段。A选项“The legal system, however, has been slow to integrate these scientific insights.(然而，法律体系在整合这些科学见解方面进展缓慢)”以转折指出当前不足，引出下文针对性改进措施，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The popular narrative of science is one of linear progression: hypothesis, experiment, confirmation, breakthrough. In reality, the path to discovery is littered with false starts, unexpected results, and outright failures. These “failures,” however, are not dead ends but often the very catalysts for paradigm shifts. Embracing this reality requires a cultural shift within science itself, moving away from a stigma around negative results and towards recognizing their ____21____ value. Consider the work of Alexander Fleming. His discovery of penicillin was famously ____22____ by a contaminated petri dish — a “failed” experiment. He could have simply discarded it. Instead, his curious mind observed the bacterial-killing mold and recognized its significance. This story is celebrated, yet the daily reality of most labs is that unexpected or ____23____ results are rarely published, leading to a “file drawer problem” where much valuable data remains hidden. This bias towards positive results distorts the scientific record. It creates an illusion that success is more ____24____ than it truly is, wasting other researchers’ time as they ____25____ down blind alleys already explored but unreported. Furthermore, a well-documented “failure” can be immensely informative. It can ____26____ a prevailing theory, suggesting that a different ____27____ is needed. In drug development, a compound that fails to treat the intended disease might ____28____ efficacy against another, a phenomenon known as “drug repurposing.” The psychology of failure is also crucial. Scientists are humans, subject to confirmation bias — the tendency to favor information that ____29____ their preconceptions. A celebrated “success” can ____30____ a researcher to contrary evidence for years. A mindset that views anomalous data not as a threat but as a potential clue is essential for innovation. This is not mere optimism; it is a form of intellectual ____31____. Some initiatives are tackling this issue. Journals dedicated to publishing negative or ____32____ results are emerging. The AllTrials campaign advocates for the registration and reporting of all clinical trials, ____33____ outcome. These efforts aim to create a more complete and honest ecosystem of knowledge. Ultimately, science is a process of successive approximation to truth. Each experiment, whether it “succeeds” or “fails,” ____34____ the landscape of what is known and unknown. To only celebrate the peaks on the map is to ignore the essential work of charting the valleys. A failed experiment is not a mark of poor science; the refusal to learn from it, however, ____35____ be. 21. A. intrinsic B. commercial C. aesthetic D. pedagogical 22. A. preceded B. accompanied C. triggered D. followed 23. A. inconclusive B. groundbreaking C. reproducible D. predictable 24. A. elusive B. commonplace C. desirable D. controversial 25. A. head B. settle C. look D. wander 26. A. corroborate B. simplify C. challenge D. circulate 27. A. framework B. instrument C. sponsor D. deadline 28. A. predict B. enhance C. demonstrate D. inhibit 29. A. contradicts B. substitutes C. confirms D. overlooks 30. A. accustom B. restrict C. blind D. expose 31. A. arrogance B. integrity C. curiosity D. rigor 32. A. replicated B. anticipated C. null D. spectacular 33. A. regardless of B. in light of C. on account of D. with reference to 34.

For centuries, it was the cornerstone of Chinese architecture, ____37____ (evident) in everything from humble folk houses to the magnificent halls of the Forbidden City. The craft’s decline in modern construction is understandable. It is time-consuming, demands exceptionally high skill, and seems at odds with contemporary needs for speed and cost-efficiency. However, a revival ____38____ (be) underway, driven not by nostalgia but by a reevaluation of its unique virtues. Architects and designers are rediscovering that mortise-tenon joints offer solutions to problems modern materials sometimes ____39____ (create). For instance, the joints allow for natural expansion and contraction of wood due to humidity, ____40____ reduces stress and cracking. They also enable buildings to be disassembled and reassembled, a principle of sustainability that is highly ____41____ (value) today. Perhaps the most profound relevance of this ancient craft lies in the philosophy it embodies. Each joint requires meticulous planning, patience, and a deep understanding of the material’s properties. It is a dialogue between the artisan and the wood. In a world of disposable products and rapid consumption, the mortise-tenon joint stands for permanence, care, and a connection to heritage. ____42____ (learn) and preserving this craft is more than an archival exercise; it is about keeping alive a mindset — one ____43____ values harmony over domination, resilience over rigidity, and the long-term over the immediate. As one master craftsman ____44____ (quote) as saying, “The wood has its own wisdom. Our job is not to force it, but to collaborate with it so that the joint becomes _____45_____ it was meant to be.” 【答案】36. Depending 37. evident 38. is 39. create 40. which 41. valued 42.

For Emily, spending her summer at her grandfather’s remote countryside house was already an escape from the noise of the city, but finding the journal turned it into an adventure. Its pages were filled not with words, but with intricate drawings of strange plants, constellations she didn’t recognize, and a detailed map of the surrounding woods with one spot marked by a large, faded “X”. On the inside cover, in her grandfather’s now-familiar handwriting, was a single sentence: “What is lost is not forgotten; it merely waits for the right seeker.” Driven by a mix of curiosity and a desire to feel closer to the grandfather she missed dearly, Emily decided to follow the map. The path was overgrown, not traveled for years. As she ventured deeper, the sunlight filtering through the canopy grew dimmer, and the sounds of the familiar world faded. She checked the journal’s drawings against the actual plants, finding matches that seemed too fantastical to be real — flowers with shimmering petals, vines that coiled in perfect geometric patterns. After hours of walking, just as doubt began to creep in, she found it: the clearing marked by the “X”. In its center stood an ancient, gnarled tree unlike any other. Its bark seemed to gleam with a faint silvery light. At its base, exactly as depicted in the journal, was a small, hollow niche. Her heart pounding, Emily reached inside. Her fingers didn’t find treasure in the form of gold or jewels, but something else entirely. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Emily pulled out a small, smooth object wrapped in what felt like oilcloth. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As she sat under the strange tree, studying her grandfather’s final gift, the meaning of his words began to dawn on her. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1: Emily pulled out a small, smooth object wrapped in what felt like oilcloth. Her trembling fingers fumbled with the frayed edges, her breath catching in her throat as the fabric unraveled to reveal a polished wooden box, its surface carved with the same fantastical flowers from the journal. Her heart hammered against her ribs as she lifted the lid, only to find a pressed sprig of the shimmering petal flower and a tattered letter in her grandfather’s handwriting. The words blurred for a moment as tears pricked her eyes — he had written of this secret sanctuary, a place where nature’s magic still whispered to those who dared to listen. Paragraph 2: As she sat under the strange tree, studying her grandfather’s final gift, the meaning of his words began to dawn on her. Doubt melted into a warm, bittersweet longing as she traced the delicate pressed flower, her mind replaying childhood memories of him teaching her to name constellations. This was no treasure of gold, but a bridge between their hearts — proof that his love, like the hidden sanctuary, had never truly been lost. Sunlight filtered through the canopy in golden streaks, and for a fleeting moment, she swore she heard his gentle laugh carried on the breeze, a silent confirmation that some bonds transcend time and distance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了埃米莉暑假在祖父乡下的房子里发现一本皮革封面的旧日记，日记里有奇特植物、未知星座的插画和标有“X”的森林地图，她循着地图深入森林，找到标记处的空地和古树，在树底凹槽里发现了特殊物品的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“埃米莉掏出一个用油布包裹着的光滑小物件。”可知，第一段可描写埃米莉拆开油布，发现刻有奇幻花朵的木盒，盒内有干花和祖父的信，信中提及这个藏着自然魔力的秘密之地。 ②由第二段首句内容“她坐在这棵奇特的树下，端详着祖父最后的礼物，渐渐明白了他那句话的含义。”可知，第二段可描写埃米莉抚摸干花忆起童年往事，领悟到这份礼物是连接祖孙的心意之桥，感受到跨越时空的亲情羁绊。 2. 续写线索：掏出裹着油布的物件——解开油布发现雕花木盒——木盒里有干花和祖父的信——树下端详礼物领悟深意——回忆童年明白礼物是心灵桥梁——感悟爱与羁绊跨越时空 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①掏出：pull out/take out ②模糊：blur/fade ③领悟：dawn on/realize 情绪类 ①激动：heart hammered/heart pounding ②温馨：warm/heartfelt 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her trembling fingers fumbled with the frayed edges, her breath catching in her throat as the fabric unraveled to reveal a polished wooden box, its surface carved with the same fantastical flowers from the journal.（运用了独立主格结构作状语以及as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] The words blurred for a moment as tears pricked her eyes — he had written of this secret sanctuary, a place where nature’s magic still whispered to those who dared to listen.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及where引导的定语从句和who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三英语试题 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。每段对话播放两遍。 1.What are the speakers talking about?

The annual ranking by Travel and Tour World (TTW) reveals a list heavily influenced by reader feedback, highlighting a continued thirst for both short-haul sun escapes and transformative long-haul journeys. Spain’s Tenerife maintains its top position, a testament to its enduring appeal with year-round sunshine and volcanic landscapes. It’s not just about beaches; the island is expanding its offerings with new cultural and scenic experiences to meet growing demand. Meanwhile, the legendary Route 66 in the United States cracks the top ten, indicating a strong appetite for iconic road trips filled with history and quirky Americana. The list also signals a shift towards lesser-known cultural gems. Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ula, with its stunning desert landscapes and ancient Nabatean tombs, appears as a rising star. In a surprising entry, the UK’s own Hull, a city with a rich maritime heritage, has earned a spot on National Geographic’s parallel “must-visit” list for 2026. Its transformation, anchored by historic vessels like the Arctic Corsair trawler and the Spurn Lightship, showcases how industrial heritage can be repurposed into compelling tourist destinations. Industry expert Anup Kumar Keshan notes that the trends are clear: “sun and beach getaways” remain powerful, but there is a growing, parallel demand for “culturally immersive experiences”. This duality defines the 2026 traveller—seeking relaxation without sacrificing depth, and comfort alongside discovery. The world, it seems, is not shrinking but expanding, offering layers of experience waiting to be unpacked by the curious traveler. 1. What is the primary source of influence for the TTW’s 2026 destination ranking? A. Feedback from its readers. B. Predictions from financial analysts. C. Recommendations from government tourism boards. D. Data from airline booking systems. 2. Why is the city of Hull mentioned in the passage? A. To contrast it with more popular beach destinations. B. To exemplify a destination revitalized through its historical assets. C. To criticize the lack of modern attractions in the UK. D. To demonstrate the decline of traditional tourism. 3. Which of the following best summarizes the dual trend identified by Anup Kumar Keshan? A. A shift from group tours to strictly solo travel. B. A decline in travel spending due to economic uncertainty. C. A preference for both leisure-oriented and culturally deep experiences. D. A move away from international travel to domestic tourism. B The Unlikely Beginning The conference room was stifling, the air thick with the scent of stale coffee and unspoken skepticism. Rob Reiner, then known to the public only as “Mike Stivic,” the liberal son-in-law from All in the Family, felt the weight of every gaze. He wasn’t an actor here; he was a first-time director pitching a movie no one believed in — a coming-of-age story set in the 1950s, adapted from a Stephen King novella, titled Stand by Me. His mind flashed back to the initial phone call with the studio head. The voice on the line had been polite but dismissive. “Rob, it’s a small story. Boys, a dead body...where’s the market?” They saw a sitcom star dabbling in whimsy. They didn’t see the quiet obsession that had gripped Reiner for months, the clarity with which he could already visualize the misty Oregon tracks, the dynamic between the four young boys, the fragile bridge between childhood and adulthood. The real turning point the one that never made the press releases, happened in a cramped editing suite weeks before this meeting. Reiner was watching the raw footage of the famous campfire scene, where the boys share their deepest fears. The takes were good, but something was missing — the profound, vulnerable silence that follows a shared secret. Frustrated, he asked the editor to strip the scene of all music and stretch the pause after the last line. For five full seconds, the screen held only on the actors’ faces, flickering in the firelight, a complex tapestry of bravado melting into innocence. In that silence, Reiner found the soul of his film. It was no longer just a “kids’ adventure”; it was a meditation on memory and loss. Leaning forward in the oppressive conference room, Reiner bypassed the box-office projections his producers loved. Instead, he described that campfire silence. He spoke of the universal ache of growing up, the friendships that define us, and the specific, unshakeable feeling of a first summer without a safety net. He wasn’t just selling a movie; he was offering an emotional truth. The room’s energy shifted, almost imperceptibly. The skepticism didn’t evaporate, but it made room for curiosity. Years later, Stand by Me would be hailed as a classic. But its journey began not with a bang, but with a director’s fight to preserve a powerful, risky silence — a quiet moment that would echo loudly for generations. 4. What was the major obstacle Rob Reiner faced at the beginning of the project? A. A lack of talented young actors for the main roles. B. The industry’s prejudice against him based on his sitcom background. C. Stephen King’s refusal to adapt the novella. D. Extreme difficulties in finding suitable filming locations. 5. What does the underlined phrase “dabbling in whimsy” in Paragraph 2 imply about the studio’s view of Reiner? A. They thought he was a highly innovative and serious artist. B. They believed he was casually engaged in an unserious project. C. They were impressed by his diverse career ambitions. D. They considered him an expert in childhood stories. 6. What does the “turning point” in the editing suite reveal about Reiner’s directorial approach? A. He relied heavily on test audience scores to make decisions. B. He prioritized technical perfection over emotional resonance. C. He understood that emotional impact could hinge on subtle, deliberate choices. D. He was willing to let the film editor make all creative decisions. 7. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the title “The Unlikely Beginning”? A. The film was based on an unlikely source, a horror writer’s story. B. The director’s previous career made his success in film directing seem improbable. C. The film’s production started during an unlikely season, winter. D. The first day of shooting was filled with unlikely accidents. C The rise of the “digital nomad” — professionals who leverage technology to work remotely from anywhere — is often celebrated as the ultimate liberation from the cubicle. However, beneath the glossy Instagram feeds of laptops on tropical beaches lies a more complex economic phenomenon that is quietly reshaping the geography of talent and prosperity. This trend, accelerated by the pandemic, is not just changing where people live; it is challenging the fundamental link between high-value labor and traditional urban economic hubs. For decades, economic vitality was concentrated in megacities that acted as magnets for corporations and skilled workers. This agglomeration created powerful feedback loops: talent attracted business, which attracted more talent, driving up real estate prices and local tax revenues. The digital nomad, untethered from physical offices, disrupts this model. A software engineer from San Francisco can now generate her substantial income while residing in a small town in Portugal or Thailand. While this brings an influx of spending power to these “lifestyle destinations,” it also presents a paradox. The nomad’s economic output — the value she creates — is disconnected from her local consumption. Her taxes (if properly filed) likely go to her country of legal residence or employment, not the local municipality whose infrastructure and services she uses. This creates a potential crisis for the funding model of cities. Furthermore, the arrival of affluent nomads can drive up living costs for local residents, a form of economic displacement without the corresponding job creation that traditional industry brings. Conversely, it offers a lifeline to declining rural regions or smaller cities that can attract this mobile class. Towns are now actively crafting policies, from special visas to co-working space subsidies, to compete for this demographic. The long-term implications are profound. We may be moving toward a “spiky world” where pockets of high-end consumption are geographically dispersed, no longer tied to centers of production. This could alleviate pressure on overpopulated megacities but also weaken their tax base. It forces a reevaluation of concepts like “community” and “economic contribution.” Is a digital nomad who lives somewhere for three months a resident? What is their responsibility to the local society they temporarily join? The challenge for policymakers is to harness the benefits of this mobility — revitalizing regions, spreading wealth — while devising new mechanisms to ensure that the places these nomads call home, however temporarily, can sustainably provide the services and quality of life they seek. 8. What is the central paradox associated with digital nomads as described in the passage? A. They seek a better quality of life but often work longer hours than office-based professionals. B They generate high economic value but contribute minimally to the local tax base of their temporary residences. C. They promote globalization but often rely on local, non-digital services for their daily needs. D. They are highly skilled yet often face difficulties in securing stable, long-term employment contracts. 9. The phrase “spiky world” (Para. 4) most likely refers to a global landscape where ________. A. economic inequality between nations becomes even more pronounced B. technological infrastructure is concentrated in only a few advanced countries C. centers of high consumption are scattered and decoupled from centers of production D. remote work leads to increased isolation and a decline in collaborative innovation 10. What is one potential positive outcome of the digital nomad trend mentioned in the passage? A. The inevitable decline of all major global cities. B. The creation of a universal basic income funded by remote workers. C. The economic revitalization of declining rural areas or small towns. D. The standardization of global tax policies for freelance workers. 11. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Instagram Illusion: Unraveling the Digital Nomad Myth. B. Beyond the Beach: The Economic Ripple Effects of Remote Work. C. Office Optional: A Guide to Becoming a Successful Digital Nomad. D. Taxing Nomads: The New Policy Challenge for National Governments. D Art history, as traditionally narrated, is a story of geniuses: Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Picasso. Their monumental works and revolutionary styles form the pillars of our museums and textbooks. This “great man” approach, however, constructs a narrow corridor through the vast cathedral of artistic production. In recent decades, scholars have turned their attention to the periphery of this narrative, arguing that a richer understanding of cultural history emerges from studying the networks, workshops, and “minor” figures who formed the essential ecosystem in which genius could flourish. Sofonisba Anguissola (1532–1625) serves as a compelling case study. An Italian Renaissance painter of noble birth, she achieved international fame in her lifetime, even becoming a court painter to the Spanish king. Yet, for centuries after her death, she was relegated to a footnote, often remembered more for being a rare successful female artist than for her artistic merit. A closer examination of her work and career reveals why she is pivotal. Largely barred from studying anatomy or drawing from live male models (standard training for her male counterparts), Anguissola pioneered a new genre: the intimate, psychologically nuanced portrait, often of her own family members. Her painting “The Chess Game” is a masterclass in naturalism and character depiction, capturing a moment of lively interaction between her sisters. Her influence radiated through channels often ignored by the genius-centric model. As a teacher, she influenced the young Anthony van Dyck. More subtly, her sophisticated portraits, circulated through prints and the movement of courtly elites, helped disseminate the Italian Renaissance aesthetic across Europe. Her success also created a fragile but tangible path for subsequent women artists like Lavinia Fontana and Artemisia Gentileschi. Reinserting Anguissola into the narrative does not merely add a name to a list. It forces a reconceptualization of the Renaissance itself. It shifts focus from isolated masterpieces to artistic exchange, from individual inspiration to the constraints and opportunities of societal structures (like gender and class). It asks us to consider art not as a series of seismic disruptions by solitary giants, but as a collaborative and cumulative human endeavor, a conversation across time and space where every participant, regardless of subsequent fame, shapes the dialogue. The goal is not to topple the giants from their plinths but to rebuild the bustling, vibrant city square in which they once stood. 12. What is the primary purpose of the passage? A. To provide a detailed biography of Sofonisba Anguissola. B. To critique the technical limitations of Renaissance female artists. C To compare the artistic styles of Anguissola and Michelangelo. D. To advocate for a broader methodology in studying art history. 13. According to the passage, how did Anguissola’s constraints contribute to her innovation? A. They forced her to work on a smaller, less expensive scale, leading to greater detail. B. They led her to develop a new genre focused on informal, psychological portraiture. C. They motivated her to secretly study anatomy, resulting in more accurate human figures. D. They caused her to reject Renaissance ideals in favor of a more personal style. 14. The author mentions Anthony van Dyck primarily to ________. A. highlight the superiority of Flemish painting techniques B. demonstrate Anguissola’s direct role in shaping later artistic traditions C. contrast the training available to male and female artists D. list the famous artists who studied under Italian masters 15. What does the metaphor of “the bustling, vibrant city square” (last paragraph) represent? A. The complex, interactive context of artistic production. B. The competitive art market of the Renaissance. C. The forgotten masterpieces of minor artists. D. The public spaces where art was originally displayed. 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。 Human memory is not a perfect recording device; it is a reconstructive process, more akin to storytelling than archival retrieval. Every time we recall an event, we subtly reshape it, influenced by subsequent experiences, suggestions, and our own beliefs. ____16____ This plasticity, while essential for learning and adaptation, becomes a critical vulnerability in the context of eyewitness testimony, which remains one of the most persuasive forms of evidence in courtrooms. Research in cognitive psychology has repeatedly demonstrated how easily memories can be contaminated. In a classic study, participants who watched a video of a car accident later “remembered” seeing broken glass if the questioner used the word “smashed” instead of “hit,” even though no glass was present. ____17____ This phenomenon, known as the misinformation effect, shows that leading questions from law enforcement can inadvertently plant false details into a witness’s memory, corrupting its accuracy. ____18____ Confidence is a poor predictor of accuracy. A witness who is absolutely certain of their identification is not significantly more likely to be correct than one who is hesitant, yet juries are overwhelmingly swayed by confidence. The stress and trauma often associated with witnessing a crime further impair memory encoding and recall, contrary to the popular belief that high stress makes events “burn” into memory. Given these inherent flaws, there is a growing movement to reform legal procedures. ____19____ Some jurisdictions now mandate “blind” lineups, where the administrator does not know the suspect’s identity, to prevent unconscious cues. Others require that confidence statements be taken at the time of identification, not later in court. Ultimately, the goal is not to discard eyewitness testimony altogether but to treat it with appropriate caution, as the fallible evidence it is. ____20____ By educating jurors about the science of memory and implementing evidence-based procedural safeguards, the justice system can better pursue its fundamental aim: convicting the guilty while protecting the innocent from the profound consequence of a mistaken memory. A. The legal system, however, has been slow to integrate these scientific insights. B. Furthermore, the correlation between memory confidence and memory accuracy is dangerously weak. C. This reconstructive nature makes our memories dynamic and adaptable. D. Jurors tend to place unquestioning faith in the accounts of confident eyewitnesses. E. Therefore, the reliance on technology like video surveillance should be increased. F. These reforms focus on improving the methods used to obtain testimony, not on discrediting the witness. G. Such findings have profound implications for how police interviews should be conducted. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The popular narrative of science is one of linear progression: hypothesis, experiment, confirmation, breakthrough. In reality, the path to discovery is littered with false starts, unexpected results, and outright failures. These “failures,” however, are not dead ends but often the very catalysts for paradigm shifts. Embracing this reality requires a cultural shift within science itself, moving away from a stigma around negative results and towards recognizing their ____21____ value. Consider the work of Alexander Fleming. His discovery of penicillin was famously ____22____ by a contaminated petri dish — a “failed” experiment. He could have simply discarded it. Instead, his curious mind observed the bacterial-killing mold and recognized its significance. This story is celebrated, yet the daily reality of most labs is that unexpected or ____23____ results are rarely published, leading to a “file drawer problem” where much valuable data remains hidden. This bias towards positive results distorts the scientific record. It creates an illusion that success is more ____24____ than it truly is, wasting other researchers’ time as they ____25____ down blind alleys already explored but unreported. Furthermore, a well-documented “failure” can be immensely informative. It can ____26____ a prevailing theory, suggesting that a different ____27____ is needed. In drug development, a compound that fails to treat the intended disease might ____28____ efficacy against another, a phenomenon known as “drug repurposing.” The psychology of failure is also crucial. Scientists are humans, subject to confirmation bias — the tendency to favor information that ____29____ their preconceptions. A celebrated “success” can ____30____ a researcher to contrary evidence for years. A mindset that views anomalous data not as a threat but as a potential clue is essential for innovation. This is not mere optimism; it is a form of intellectual ____31____. Some initiatives are tackling this issue. Journals dedicated to publishing negative or ____32____ results are emerging. The AllTrials campaign advocates for the registration and reporting of all clinical trials, ____33____ outcome. These efforts aim to create a more complete and honest ecosystem of knowledge. Ultimately, science is a process of successive approximation to truth. Each experiment, whether it “succeeds” or “fails,” ____34____ the landscape of what is known and unknown. To only celebrate the peaks on the map is to ignore the essential work of charting the valleys. A failed experiment is not a mark of poor science; the refusal to learn from it, however, ____35____ be. 21. A. intrinsic B. commercial C. aesthetic D. pedagogical 22. A. preceded B. accompanied C. triggered D. followed 23. A. inconclusive B. groundbreaking C. reproducible D. predictable 24. A. elusive B. commonplace C. desirable D. controversial 25. A. head B. settle C. look D. wander 26. A. corroborate B. simplify C. challenge D. circulate 27. A. framework B. instrument C. sponsor D. deadline 28. A. predict B. enhance C. demonstrate D. inhibit 29. A. contradicts B. substitutes C. confirms D. overlooks 30. A. accustom B. restrict C. blind D. expose 31. A. arrogance B. integrity C. curiosity D. rigor 32. A. replicated B. anticipated C. null D. spectacular 33. A. regardless of B. in light of C. on account of D. with reference to 34. A. obscures B. polishes C. alters D. preserves 35. A. might B. should C. would D. must 第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In an era dominated by steel, concrete, and rapid digital fabrication, the ancient Chinese woodworking technique of mortise-tenon joinery stands as a testament to a different kind of ingenuity. ____36____ (depend) not on a single nail or drop of glue, this system relies on precisely carved interlocking projections (tenons) and cavities (mortises) to create structures of remarkable strength, flexibility, and beauty. For centuries, it was the cornerstone of Chinese architecture, ____37____ (evident) in everything from humble folk houses to the magnificent halls of the Forbidden City. The craft’s decline in modern construction is understandable. It is time-consuming, demands exceptionally high skill, and seems at odds with contemporary needs for speed and cost-efficiency. However, a revival ____38____ (be) underway, driven not by nostalgia but by a reevaluation of its unique virtues. Architects and designers are rediscovering that mortise-tenon joints offer solutions to problems modern materials sometimes ____39____ (create). For instance, the joints allow for natural expansion and contraction of wood due to humidity, ____40____ reduces stress and cracking. They also enable buildings to be disassembled and reassembled, a principle of sustainability that is highly ____41____ (value) today. Perhaps the most profound relevance of this ancient craft lies in the philosophy it embodies. Each joint requires meticulous planning, patience, and a deep understanding of the material’s properties. It is a dialogue between the artisan and the wood. In a world of disposable products and rapid consumption, the mortise-tenon joint stands for permanence, care, and a connection to heritage. ____42____ (learn) and preserving this craft is more than an archival exercise; it is about keeping alive a mindset — one ____43____ values harmony over domination, resilience over rigidity, and the long-term over the immediate. As one master craftsman ____44____ (quote) as saying, “The wood has its own wisdom. Our job is not to force it, but to collaborate with it so that the joint becomes _____45_____ it was meant to be.” 第四部分：写作（满分25分） 第一节应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假设你是校英文报“Science Frontier”栏目的编辑李华。该栏目计划介绍一项对人类未来生活可能产生深远影响的前沿科技（如：量子计算、脑机接口、核聚变能源等）。请你给著名人工智能研究员Dr. Smith写一封邮件，邀请他就其研究领域为栏目撰写一篇短文。 要点包括： 1.发出邀请并简要介绍栏目； 2.说明稿件主题（可自选一项科技）及要求（如：面向高中生、介绍原理与潜影响等）； 3.告知稿件长度和截止日期。 注意： 词数100左右； 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节读后续写（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 The old, leather-bound journal was hidden at the back of the attic, beneath a stack of yellowed maps. For Emily, spending her summer at her grandfather’s remote countryside house was already an escape from the noise of the city, but finding the journal turned it into an adventure. Its pages were filled not with words, but with intricate drawings of strange plants, constellations she didn’t recognize, and a detailed map of the surrounding woods with one spot marked by a large, faded “X”. On the inside cover, in her grandfather’s now-familiar handwriting, was a single sentence: “What is lost is not forgotten; it merely waits for the right seeker.” Driven by a mix of curiosity and a desire to feel closer to the grandfather she missed dearly, Emily decided to follow the map. The path was overgrown, not traveled for years. As she ventured deeper, the sunlight filtering through the canopy grew dimmer, and the sounds of the familiar world faded. She checked the journal’s drawings against the actual plants, finding matches that seemed too fantastical to be real — flowers with shimmering petals, vines that coiled in perfect geometric patterns. After hours of walking, just as doubt began to creep in, she found it: the clearing marked by the “X”. In its center stood an ancient, gnarled tree unlike any other. Its bark seemed to gleam with a faint silvery light. At its base, exactly as depicted in the journal, was a small, hollow niche. Her heart pounding, Emily reached inside. Her fingers didn’t find treasure in the form of gold or jewels, but something else entirely. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Emily pulled out a small, smooth object wrapped in what felt like oilcloth. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As she sat under the strange tree, studying her grandfather’s final gift, the meaning of his words began to dawn on her. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
