This troubling observation inspired her to create a solution. Considering all kinds of specific problems in the local area, Priya spent months exploring the best way to deliver lighting solutions to students. Priya began experimenting with solar-powered study lamps. Her breakthrough came when she repurposed old school notebooks by embedding flexible solar panels into their covers. This dual-function design increased light output by 15 times compared to kerosene lamps while reducing carbon emissions by 2k g per unit annually. “It charges in sunlight during the day and provides reading light at night,” she explains. Her project’s true creativity lay in its sustainable distribution model. Priya partnered with local women’s cooperatives to manufacture the notebooks, creating valuable employment opportunities. Meanwhile, students could earn notebooks by collecting recyclable materials from their communities. The results were transformative. “We’ve seen a30% improvement in school attendance since students could study after sunset,” reported teacher Anika Patel. From its beginnings as a simple science project, Priya’s invention now brightens the lives of over 10,000 families across 42 villages. An unexpected benefit emerged when village elders began using the notebooks to record traditional folk tales and recipes that had previously only been passed down orally, helping preserve valuable cultural heritage. Recently, Priya has adapted her design in collaboration with UNICEF to help refugee children. Field tests in three refugee (难民) camps showed the modified version reduced study interruptions by 65% compared to previous lighting Solutions. “The same technology that assists rural students is now supporting those displaced by conflict,” she notes. 4. What directly inspired Priya’s invention? A. The health and study challenges she observed. B. A university research project on rural education. C. Her participation in a school science competition. D. Her desire to experiment with modern technology. 5. What was the key to Priya’s design success? A. Using solar energy for lighting. B. Creating waterproof notebook covers. C. Implanting solar panels into notebooks. D. Designing notebooks with recycled materials. 6. What can be inferred about Priya’s problem-solving approach? A. It prioritizes high technology. B. It combines science with social needs. C. It balances creativity with financial gains. D. It focuses merely on environmental protection. 7. Which of the following can best describe Priya? A. Ambitious and strict. B. Patient and humorous. C. Traditional and cautious. D. Observant and innovative. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了15岁的Priya Joshi在访问她祖父母所在的贫穷印度村庄时，看到学生们在煤油灯下艰难学习的情景，从而受到启发并创造了一种太阳能学习灯的解决方案。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When 15-year-old Priya Joshi visited her grandparents’ poor Indian village, she was shocked to see students struggling to study under di m kerosene lamps (煤油灯), which created dangerous indoor air pollution and provided only1% of modern LED’s brightness. “The smoke hurt their eyes and the unstable light caused headaches,” recalls Priya, now an engineering student at MIT. This troubling observation inspired her to create a solution.(15岁的Priya Joshi拜访祖父母所在的印度贫困村庄时，震惊地发现学生们在昏暗的煤油灯下艰难学习——这种灯不仅造成危险的室内空气污染，亮度仅为现代LED灯的1%。“油烟刺痛他们的眼睛，不稳定的光线导致头痛，”如今已是麻省理工学院工程系学生的Priya回忆道。这一令人担忧的景象促使她决心寻找解决方案。)”可知，Priya在印度村庄目睹学生因煤油灯的烟雾伤眼、光线不稳定导致头痛和学习困难，使她产生发明的灵感。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Her breakthrough came when she repurposed old school notebooks by embedding flexible solar panels into their covers.(她的突破来自于对旧学校笔记本的改造：将柔性太阳能板嵌入封面。)”可知，Priya设计成功的关键在于将太阳能板嵌入笔记本封面这一创新，这一设计实现了功能突破。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Considering all kinds of specific problems in the local area, Priya spent months exploring the best way to deliver lighting solutions to students.

No longer seen as passive collections of trees, they are now recognized as dynamic communities connected by vast underground fungal (真菌的) networks called the “Wood Wide Web”. These complex mycorrhizal (菌根) systems enable trees to exchange nutrients, transmit danger signals, recognize relationship, and even pass on survival strategies — capabilities that redefine traditional concepts of plant behavior. The most convincing evidence comes from a 2022 Nature study in British Columbia’s ancient forests. Researchers discovered that “mother trees” — mature Douglas firs — prioritize their own seedlings, directing 15% more carbon to them than to unrelated young trees. When beetles attack, the affected trees release chemical signals through the fungal network, reminding neighboring trees within 30 meters to activate defensive responses within two days — a process notably similar to immune reactions in animals. Remarkably, these fungal networks may also help trees “remember” past experiences. Trees that survive droughts “teach” their offspring through the fungal connections, resulting in subsequent generations developing deeper roots and more efficient water conservation methods. This cross-generational memory, encoded in exchanged proteins and chemical signals, represents a form of collective intelligence. However, this delicate communication system faces serious threats. Industrial logging destroys fungal networks, with studies showing cleared areas need 15 years to recover to reestablish 60% of original network density. Furthermore, climate change aggravates the damage: rising temperatures in Alberta have reduced mycorrhizal diversity by 30% since 2000. “We’re not just losing trees individually, but we’re destroying an ancient biological internet severely,” warns University of British Columbia ecologist Dr. Suzanne Simard, whose 30-year research supports these findings. These discoveries are changing how we view forests. Some scientists argue they show a form of “plant intelligence”, while legal experts debate giving forests special protections. Sweden has already taken action, requiring loggers to protect key “mother trees” to preserve the network. 8. Why do the trees give off chemical signals when attacked? A. To identify genetic relationships. B. To store drought survival strategies. C. To inform neighbors of defensive preparations. D. To speed up the carbon transfer among the trees. 9. What can we learn about the “cross-generational memory” from Paragraph 3? A. It fades in a short time. B. It leads to protein exchange. C. It relies on root-to-root contact. D. It helps pass down survival skills. 10. What does the underlined word “aggravates” mean in paragraph 4? A. Analyzes. B. Worsens. C. Records. D. Relieves. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. The intelligent network among trees. B. The emerging threats to forest ecosystems. C. The destructive effects of climate on forests. D. The important role of mother trees in forests. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了现代生态学揭示森林是通过真菌网络连接的动态群落，其能交流、传递记忆，但该系统受工业伐木和气候变化威胁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When beetles attack, the affected trees release chemical signals through the fungal network, reminding neighboring trees within 30 meters to activate defensive responses within two days — a process notably similar to immune reactions in animals.(当出现虫害时，受影响的树木会通过真菌网络释放化学信号，提醒30米范围内的相邻树木在两天内启动防御反应——这一过程与动物的免疫反应极为相似)”可知，树木在受到攻击时释放化学信号是为了通知相邻树木做好防御准备。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Remarkably, these fungal networks may also help trees “remember” past experiences. Trees that survive droughts “teach” their offspring through the fungal connections, resulting in subsequent generations developing deeper roots and more efficient water conservation methods. This cross-generational memory, encoded in exchanged proteins and chemical signals, represents a form of collective intelligence.(值得注意的是，这些真菌网络或许还能帮助树木“铭记”过往经验。熬过干旱的树木会通过菌丝网络向后代“传授”生存之道，促使新生代树木发展出更深的根系与更高效的水分保持机制。这种通过交换蛋白质和化学信号形成的“跨代记忆”，展现了一种群体智慧形态)”可知，“跨代记忆”有助于传承生存技能。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Industrial logging destroys fungal networks, with studies showing cleared areas need 15 years to recover to reestablish 60% of original network density.(工业性伐木会破坏菌类网络结构，研究表明，被砍伐的区域需要 15 年的时间才能恢复到能够重建原始网络密度 60%的状态)”以及后文“rising temperatures in Alberta have reduced mycorrhizal diversity by 30% since 2000.(自2000年以来，艾伯塔省不断上升的气温使菌根多样性减少了30%)”可知，气候变化让这种破坏变得更糟了。故划线词aggravates意思是“变得更糟”，与B项“Worsens”同义。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Modern ecology has revolutionized our understanding of forests. No longer seen as passive collections of trees, they are now recognized as dynamic communities connected by vast underground fungal (真菌的) networks called the “Wood Wide Web”. These complex mycorrhizal (菌根) systems enable trees to exchange nutrients, transmit danger signals, recognize relationship, and even pass on survival strategies — capabilities that redefine traditional concepts of plant behavior.(它们不再被视为单纯的树木集合体，而是被视作相互关联的动态群体，这些群体通过名为“森林广域网”的庞大地下真菌网络相连。这些复杂的菌根系统使树木能够交换养分、传递危险信号、识别彼此的关系，并甚至传递生存策略——这些能力彻底改变了人们对植物行为的传统认知)”后文可知，文章主要说明了现代生态学揭示森林是通过真菌网络连接的动态群落，其能交流、传递记忆，但该系统受工业伐木和气候变化威胁，所以，这篇文章的主旨是树木之间的智能网络。故选A。 D The boom of artificial intelligence has sparked a wave of new possibilities, but it’s also causing fears among many Americans about their jobs. Recent surveys indicate growing public anxiety, with 51% of Americans expressing concern that AI might replace human jobs, which reflects the groundbreaking power of AI across various industries. Research highlights notable differences in perception between experts and the general public. While 73% of respondents believe cashier positions will decline due to AI, and 67% anticipate reductions in factory jobs, opinions vary sharply regarding truck drivers. Only 33% of the public foresees job losses in this sector, compared to 62% of Al experts who predict substantial impacts. This gap suggests that the public may underestimate Al's potential to disrupt certain professions. A crucial distinction exists between traditional automation and modern Al capabilities. As Molly Kinder from the Brookings Institution says some of these opinions are confusing old automation with what generative AI can do. “Generative AI is not your grandparents’ automation. It’s moving up the skill chain... in ways I don’t think the public is fully aware of.” Unlike earlier technologies that primarily affected manufacturing, contemporary AI can perform complex cognitive tasks such as document analysis, legal research, and financial forecasting — functions traditionally associated with white-collar professionals. Studies identify several vulnerable sectors, including office administration, legal services, and financial operations. However, researchers caution against simplistic predictions of job elimination (淘汰). Mark Muro, co-author of a Brookings report, notes, “AI is more likely to transform jobs than replace them entirely.” This perspective suggests that while certain tasks may be automated, new opportunities for human-AI collaboration may emerge. The adoption of AI has been slower than expected in regulated fields like healthcare and law, where human judgment remains crucial. Nevertheless, as MIT professor Eric So observes, “AI’s capabilities are evolving at an unprecedented pace.” From basic chatbots to sophisticated decision-making systems, AI continues to reshape the workplace, creating both challenges and possibilities that society must carefully navigate. 12. Which profession shows the largest difference in perception? A. Cashiers. B. Truck drivers. C. Factory workers. D. Legal professionals. 13. What does Molly Kinder emphasize about generative AI? A. It is limited to simple repetitive tasks. B. It primarily affects manufacturing jobs. C. It can perform complex cognitive tasks. D. It has been widely adopted in healthcare. 14. What is Mark Muro’s view on AI's impact on jobs? A. AI will create more jobs than it eliminates. B. AI is likely to shift rather than replace jobs. C. AI will completely replace human workers. D. AI will have no significant impact on employment. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of AI? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能的兴起引发新可能的同时也让美国人担忧工作，介绍了公众和专家对不同职业受影响的看法差异，还分析了人工智能对工作的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While 73% of respondents believe cashier positions will decline due to AI, and 67% anticipate reductions in factory jobs, opinions vary sharply regarding truck drivers. Only 33% of the public foresees job losses in this sector, compared to 62% of AI experts who predict substantial impacts.(虽然73%的受访者认为收银员职位会因人工智能而减少，67%的人预计工厂职位会减少，但在卡车司机方面，人们的看法差异很大。只有33%的公众预计该行业会出现失业，而62%的人工智能专家预测会有重大影响)”可知，在收银员、工厂工人、卡车司机这几个职业中，公众和专家对卡车司机岗位的看法差异最大。文中未提及法律专业人员在这方面的看法差异情况。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike earlier technologies that primarily affected manufacturing, contemporary AI can perform complex cognitive tasks such as document analysis, legal research, and financial forecasting — functions traditionally associated with white-collar professionals.(与主要影响制造业的早期技术不同，当代人工智能可以执行复杂的认知任务，如文档分析、法律研究和财务预测——这些功能传统上与白领专业人员相关联)”可知，Molly Kinder强调生成式人工智能可以执行复杂的认知任务。 故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Mark Muro, co-author of a Brookings report, notes, “AI is more likely to transform jobs than replace them entirely.” (布鲁金斯学会报告的合著者Mark Muro指出：“人工智能更有可能改变工作，而不是完全取代它们。”)”可知，Mark Muro认为人工智能更有可能改变工作，而不是完全取代它们，即人工智能可能会转移而不取代工作。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章在第一段中“The boom of artificial intelligence has sparked a wave of new possibilities, but it’s also causing fears among many Americans about their jobs. (人工智能的蓬勃发展引发了一系列新的可能性，但也在许多美国人中引发了对工作的担忧)”提到人工智能带来新机遇的同时也带来了担忧；在第四段中“Mark Muro, co-author of a Brookings report, notes, “AI is more likely to transform jobs than replace them entirely.” (布鲁金斯学会报告的合著者Mark Muro指出：“人工智能更有可能改变工作，而不是完全取代它们。”)”和最后一段中“From basic chatbots to sophisticated decision-making systems, AI continues to reshape the workplace, creating both challenges and possibilities that society must carefully navigate. (从基本的聊天机器人到复杂的决策系统，人工智能继续重塑工作场所，创造了社会必须谨慎应对的挑战和可能性)”提到人工智能的发展带来挑战和机遇。作者在文中既提及人工智能的积极影响，也提到其带来的问题，客观地呈现了人工智能发展带来的挑战和机遇。由此可推断作者对人工智能发展的态度是客观的。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 All parents want to give their children a good life. Many parents micromanage their children from any type of hardship. ___16___. To prepare children for the adult world, ensure they can navigate life’s challenges. Here are some ways to achieve it. Praise them for their effort ___17___. From time to time, even the brightest minds will face failures. Hard work, perseverance, and organization are all admirable traits linked with achievement. When we praise individuals based on those qualities, we create a growth mindset, allowing them to see the fruits of their labor coming from the effort applied as opposed to intelligence. ___18___ We all know parents hovering nearby ready to rescue and parents clearing the path entirely. Though well-intentioned, both risk raising less resilient (有适应力的) children. The outcome can be that young adults are ill-equipped for real-world challenges. So if your children forget their homework, resist the urge to fetch it for them. Letting them face the consequences teaches a far more valuable lesson. Let them handle their own conflicts sometimes If there is ever an incident where your child argues with a peer, just ask yourself: Do I really need to intervene? Actually, one negative interaction does not always deserve the intervention of a caregiver and is a reality of growing up. Instead of jumping in, parents can coach a child to say something like “That’s not OK — don’t talk to me like that.” ___19___. Speak with them about how they are feeling It’s common for parent-child conversations to go no deeper than a simple “Fine” or “Okay”. Try to connect with them by asking open-ended questions like “What was something that made you laugh today?” ___20___. When children open up their concerns, parents can provide reassurance. Thus, they can navigate the world with confidence and parents can work on building a solid foundation for resilience. A. Allow them to struggle at times B. It helps build emotional fluency C. Encourage them to review mistakes D. Being smart isn’t enough to guarantee success E. This empowers them while still offering guidance F. Your children might be repeatedly receiving negative comments G. However, this can often rob children of critical opportunities to grow up 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了父母过度保护孩子的问题，并提出了一些建议，如表扬孩子的努力、允许孩子适当挣扎、让孩子自己处理冲突以及与孩子深入交流情感，以培养孩子的适应力和自信心。 【16题详解】 上文“All parents want to give their children a good life. Many parents micromanage their children from any type of hardship.(所有的父母都想给孩子一个好的生活。许多父母对孩子进行微观管理，让他们远离任何困难。)”说明了父母对孩子的过度保护；G选项“However, this can often rob children of critical opportunities to grow up(然而，这往往会剥夺孩子成长的关键机会)”与上文形成转折关系，指出过度保护会剥夺孩子成长的机会，符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 下文“From time to time, even the brightest minds will face failures. Hard work, perseverance, and organization are all admirable traits linked with achievement.(即使是最聪明的人也会不时面临失败。努力工作、坚持不懈和组织能力都是与成就相关的令人钦佩的品质。)”说明了仅仅聪明并不能保证成功，还需要其他品质；D选项“Being smart isn’t enough to guarantee success(仅仅聪明并不能保证成功)”与下文相呼应，指出聪明不是成功的唯一因素，符合题意。故选D。 【18题详解】 下文“We all know parents hovering nearby ready to rescue and parents clearing the path entirely. Though well-intentioned, both risk raising less resilient (有适应力的) children.(我们都知道父母在附近随时准备救援，父母完全为孩子扫清道路。虽然出于好意，但这两种做法都有可能培养出适应力较差的孩子。)”说明了父母过度保护孩子的两种情况带来的结果即可能培养出适应力较差的孩子；A选项“Allow them to struggle at times(允许他们有时挣扎)”与下文形成对比，指出父母应该允许孩子面对困难，学会挣扎，从而培养适应力，符合题意。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“Instead of jumping in, parents can coach a child to say something like ‘That’s not OK—— don’t talk to me like that.’(父母不要插手，可以引导孩子说‘这样不行——别这样跟我说话。’)”说明了父母在孩子与同伴发生冲突时应该如何引导；E选项“This empowers them while still offering guidance(这既赋予了他们力量，又提供了指导)”与上文相呼应，this指代前文的父母的引导，强调父母的引导既让孩子学会自己处理问题，又给予了他们支持，符合题意。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“Try to connect with them by asking open-ended questions like ‘What was something that made you laugh today?’(试着通过问一些开放性的问题来与他们建立联系，比如‘今天有什么事情让你笑了？’)”说明了父母可以通过开放性问题与孩子进行深入的交流；B选项“It helps build emotional fluency(这有助于建立情感流畅性)”与上文相呼应，指出深入的交流有助于孩子表达情感，建立情感流畅性，符合题意。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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Having a child that is nonverbal or speech-delayed can be frustrating.

Every day is Monday, eight days a week. That was my motto. As I climbed the ladder to start my day, I was thinking there was not enough time in the day, week, even the month to do all the work that came my way. It was the same routine every day. Wake up early, call the boss, get an address, work eight, ten, sometimes twelve hours, go home exhausted, fall asleep, get up and do it again. However, after years of “eight days a week” grind (苦差事), I made my phone call one morning to hear, “I’m sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing going on today. Things seem to be slowing down.” After that, eight days a week soon became six, then five and three. Before I knew it,the routine call became “Sorry, Bill, I’ve got nothing for you to do. I’ll call you when some work comes in.” After waiting every day for the next week, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I picked up the phone and called my boss. “Sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing.” One day off was great, and two days were even pretty nice, but now it had been almost three weeks. Panic started to set in. I paced around the house, noticing the pile of bank bills growing with each day’s mail delivery, together with some flyers (广告传单). For the first time in my life I had no idea how I would live. I went out to the back yard. Faced with perfect roofing weather, my eyes stung with tears until I couldn’t hold them back. As they spilled down my face, I had a complete emotional meltdown. Looking at the sunlight glistening through the trees, I pulled myself together, deciding that things must be changed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I began my journey to self-help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This first roofing job opened the door to many more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I began my journey to self-help. First, I designed a flyer on which I listed the expertise I was armed with and even showed the roofs I once perfectly finished. I then printed it and spent the next two days walking door-to-door in nearby neighborhoods, putting flyers in mailboxes and chatting with anyone outside. Besides, I created an account on social media to advertise for myself. Waiting was suffering, but three days later, my phone rang. An elderly lady had seen my flyer and contacted me to repair her roof which was leaking badly. Excitement raced through my body. It wasn’t just about a job-it was about reclaiming my future. This first roofing job opened the door to many more. The lady was so pleased with my work that she recommended me to her neighbors. Soon, my phone began to ring regularly with small repair requests. Each completed job boosted my confidence and expanded my network. At the same time, I shared before-and-after photos of my projects online. Within months, I started my own business and have been working steadily ever since. Now, each of my days begins with opportunity rather than fear. The “eight days a week” grind was replaced by purposeful work I controlled — still demanding, yet deeply fulfilling. Every day is Monday, eight days a week. That’s still my motto. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者讲述了自己作为屋顶工长期忙碌工作，后工作锐减，陷入无活可干的困境，面临经济压力而恐慌。他决定自救，制作并发放传单、在社交媒体宣传，最终迎来工作，开启创业，生活重燃希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我开始了我的自我帮助之旅。”可知，第一段可描写作者为了获得工作机会，设计并分发传单，同时在社交媒体上宣传自己，最终获得第一份屋顶维修工作的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“这第一份屋顶维修工作为我打开了更多工作的大门。”可知，第二段可描写作者凭借出色的工作表现获得客户推荐，逐渐建立起自己的事业，并过上了充满机会的生活。 2.续写线索： 设计传单并分发——社交媒体宣传——获得第一份工作——出色完成工作获得推荐——建立自己的事业——过上充满机会的生活 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①设计：design/create/devise ②创建账户：create an account/set up an account/register for an account ③联系：contact/get in touch with/reach out to 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement /thrill/exhilaration ②满意的：pleased/satisfied/content 【点睛】【高分句型1】 An elderly lady had seen my flyer and contacted me to repair her roof which was leaking badly.（运用了关系词which引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The lady was so pleased with my work that she recommended me to her neighbors.（运用了so...that...引导的结果状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 兰州市第五十九中学2025—2026学年第一学期期末考试试卷 高三英语 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 （本试卷共150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，请考生先在答题卡上准确工整地填写本人姓名、准考证号； 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂，非选择题必须使用0. 5mm黑色签字笔答题； 3. 请在答题卡中题号对应的区域内作答，超出区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效； 4. 请保持答题卡卡面清洁，不要折叠、损毁；考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B When 15-year-old Priya Joshi visited her grandparents’ poor Indian village, she was shocked to see students struggling to study under dim kerosene lamps (煤油灯), which created dangerous indoor air pollution and provided only1% of modern LED’s brightness. “The smoke hurt their eyes and the unstable light caused headaches,” recalls Priya, now an engineering student at MIT. This troubling observation inspired her to create a solution. Considering all kinds of specific problems in the local area, Priya spent months exploring the best way to deliver lighting solutions to students. Priya began experimenting with solar-powered study lamps. Her breakthrough came when she repurposed old school notebooks by embedding flexible solar panels into their covers. This dual-function design increased light output by 15 times compared to kerosene lamps while reducing carbon emissions by 2k g per unit annually. “It charges in sunlight during the day and provides reading light at night,” she explains. Her project’s true creativity lay in its sustainable distribution model. Priya partnered with local women’s cooperatives to manufacture the notebooks, creating valuable employment opportunities. Meanwhile, students could earn notebooks by collecting recyclable materials from their communities. The results were transformative. “We’ve seen a30% improvement in school attendance since students could study after sunset,” reported teacher Anika Patel. From its beginnings as a simple science project, Priya’s invention now brightens the lives of over 10,000 families across 42 villages. An unexpected benefit emerged when village elders began using the notebooks to record traditional folk tales and recipes that had previously only been passed down orally, helping preserve valuable cultural heritage. Recently, Priya has adapted her design in collaboration with UNICEF to help refugee children. Field tests in three refugee (难民) camps showed the modified version reduced study interruptions by 65% compared to previous lighting Solutions. “The same technology that assists rural students is now supporting those displaced by conflict,” she notes. 4. What directly inspired Priya’s invention? A. The health and study challenges she observed. B. A university research project on rural education. C. Her participation in a school science competition. D. Her desire to experiment with modern technology. 5. What was the key to Priya’s design success? A. Using solar energy for lighting. B. Creating waterproof notebook covers. C. Implanting solar panels into notebooks. D. Designing notebooks with recycled materials. 6. What can be inferred about Priya’s problem-solving approach? A. It prioritizes high technology. B. It combines science with social needs. C. It balances creativity with financial gains. D. It focuses merely on environmental protection. 7. Which of the following can best describe Priya? A. Ambitious and strict. B. Patient and humorous. C. Traditional and cautious. D. Observant and innovative. C Modern ecology has revolutionized our understanding of forests. No longer seen as passive collections of trees, they are now recognized as dynamic communities connected by vast underground fungal (真菌的) networks called the “Wood Wide Web”. These complex mycorrhizal (菌根) systems enable trees to exchange nutrients, transmit danger signals, recognize relationship, and even pass on survival strategies — capabilities that redefine traditional concepts of plant behavior. The most convincing evidence comes from a 2022 Nature study in British Columbia’s ancient forests. Researchers discovered that “mother trees” — mature Douglas firs — prioritize their own seedlings, directing 15% more carbon to them than to unrelated young trees. When beetles attack, the affected trees release chemical signals through the fungal network, reminding neighboring trees within 30 meters to activate defensive responses within two days — a process notably similar to immune reactions in animals. Remarkably, these fungal networks may also help trees “remember” past experiences. Trees that survive droughts “teach” their offspring through the fungal connections, resulting in subsequent generations developing deeper roots and more efficient water conservation methods. This cross-generational memory, encoded in exchanged proteins and chemical signals, represents a form of collective intelligence. However, this delicate communication system faces serious threats. Industrial logging destroys fungal networks, with studies showing cleared areas need 15 years to recover to reestablish 60% of original network density. Furthermore, climate change aggravates the damage: rising temperatures in Alberta have reduced mycorrhizal diversity by 30% since 2000. “We’re not just losing trees individually, but we’re destroying an ancient biological internet severely,” warns University of British Columbia ecologist Dr. Suzanne Simard, whose 30-year research supports these findings. These discoveries are changing how we view forests. Some scientists argue they show a form of “plant intelligence”, while legal experts debate giving forests special protections. Sweden has already taken action, requiring loggers to protect key “mother trees” to preserve the network. 8. Why do the trees give off chemical signals when attacked? A. To identify genetic relationships. B. To store drought survival strategies. C. To inform neighbors of defensive preparations. D. To speed up the carbon transfer among the trees. 9. What can we learn about the “cross-generational memory” from Paragraph 3? A. It fades in a short time. B. It leads to protein exchange. C It relies on root-to-root contact. D.

D The boom of artificial intelligence has sparked a wave of new possibilities, but it’s also causing fears among many Americans about their jobs. Recent surveys indicate growing public anxiety, with 51% of Americans expressing concern that AI might replace human jobs, which reflects the groundbreaking power of AI across various industries. Research highlights notable differences in perception between experts and the general public. While 73% of respondents believe cashier positions will decline due to AI, and 67% anticipate reductions in factory jobs, opinions vary sharply regarding truck drivers. Only 33% of the public foresees job losses in this sector, compared to 62% of Al experts who predict substantial impacts. This gap suggests that the public may underestimate Al's potential to disrupt certain professions. A crucial distinction exists between traditional automation and modern Al capabilities. As Molly Kinder from the Brookings Institution says, some of these opinions are confusing old automation with what generative AI can do. “Generative AI is not your grandparents’ automation. It’s moving up the skill chain... in ways I don’t think the public is fully aware of.” Unlike earlier technologies that primarily affected manufacturing, contemporary AI can perform complex cognitive tasks such as document analysis, legal research, and financial forecasting — functions traditionally associated with white-collar professionals. Studies identify several vulnerable sectors, including office administration, legal services, and financial operations. However, researchers caution against simplistic predictions of job elimination (淘汰). Mark Muro, co-author of a Brookings report, notes, “AI is more likely to transform jobs than replace them entirely.” This perspective suggests that while certain tasks may be automated, new opportunities for human-AI collaboration may emerge. The adoption of AI has been slower than expected in regulated fields like healthcare and law, where human judgment remains crucial. Nevertheless, as MIT professor Eric So observes, “AI’s capabilities are evolving at an unprecedented pace.” From basic chatbots to sophisticated decision-making systems, AI continues to reshape the workplace, creating both challenges and possibilities that society must carefully navigate. 12. Which profession shows the largest difference in perception? A. Cashiers. B. Truck drivers. C. Factory workers. D. Legal professionals. 13. What does Molly Kinder emphasize about generative AI? A. It is limited to simple repetitive tasks. B. It primarily affects manufacturing jobs. C. It can perform complex cognitive tasks. D. It has been widely adopted in healthcare. 14. What is Mark Muro’s view on AI's impact on jobs? A. AI will create more jobs than it eliminates. B. AI is likely to shift rather than replace jobs. C. AI will completely replace human workers. D. AI will have no significant impact on employment. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of AI? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 All parents want to give their children a good life. Many parents micromanage their children from any type of hardship. ___16___. To prepare children for the adult world, ensure they can navigate life’s challenges. Here are some ways to achieve it. Praise them for their effort ___17___. From time to time, even the brightest minds will face failures. Hard work, perseverance, and organization are all admirable traits linked with achievement. When we praise individuals based on those qualities, we create a growth mindset, allowing them to see the fruits of their labor coming from the effort applied as opposed to intelligence. ___18___ We all know parents hovering nearby ready to rescue and parents clearing the path entirely. Though well-intentioned, both risk raising less resilient (有适应力的) children. The outcome can be that young adults are ill-equipped for real-world challenges. So if your children forget their homework, resist the urge to fetch it for them. Letting them face the consequences teaches a far more valuable lesson. Let them handle their own conflicts sometimes If there is ever an incident where your child argues with a peer, just ask yourself: Do I really need to intervene? Actually, one negative interaction does not always deserve the intervention of a caregiver and is a reality of growing up. Instead of jumping in, parents can coach a child to say something like “That’s not OK — don’t talk to me like that.” ___19___. Speak with them about how they are feeling It’s common for parent-child conversations to go no deeper than a simple “Fine” or “Okay”. Try to connect with them by asking open-ended questions like “What was something that made you laugh today?” ___20___. When children open up their concerns, parents can provide reassurance. Thus, they can navigate the world with confidence and parents can work on building a solid foundation for resilience. A. Allow them to struggle at times B. It helps build emotional fluency C. Encourage them to review mistakes D. Being smart isn’t enough to guarantee success E. This empowers them while still offering guidance F. Your children might be repeatedly receiving negative comments G. However, this can often rob children of critical opportunities to grow up 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Having a child that is nonverbal or speech-delayed can be frustrating.

Every day is Monday, eight days a week. That was my motto. As I climbed the ladder to start my day, I was thinking there was not enough time in the day, week, even the month to do all the work that came my way. It was the same routine every day. Wake up early, call the boss, get an address, work eight, ten, sometimes twelve hours, go home exhausted, fall asleep, get up and do it again. However, after years of “eight days a week” grind (苦差事), I made my phone call one morning to hear, “I’m sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing going on today. Things seem to be slowing down.” After that, eight days a week soon became six, then five and three. Before I knew it,the routine call became “Sorry, Bill, I’ve got nothing for you to do. I’ll call you when some work comes in.” After waiting every day for the next week, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I picked up the phone and called my boss. “Sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing.” One day off was great, and two days were even pretty nice, but now it had been almost three weeks. Panic started to set in. I paced around the house, noticing the pile of bank bills growing with each day’s mail delivery, together with some flyers (广告传单). For the first time in my life I had no idea how I would live. I went out to the back yard. Faced with perfect roofing weather, my eyes stung with tears until I couldn’t hold them back. As they spilled down my face, I had a complete emotional meltdown. Looking at the sunlight glistening through the trees, I pulled myself together, deciding that things must be changed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I began my journey to self-help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This first roofing job opened the door to many more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
