When I was Young, I was ashamed to admit I came from a remote village, yet I liked the courage to claim I was from a city, so I usually said simply that I came from an outlying township.

My fellow villagers live in an environment completely cut off from the outside world. I know their lives only too well. If I had not had a distant dream from a very Young age, I would have shared their fate. All my memories of a joyful childhood and the pains of growing up are entertained with the river SHE keeps all of my secrets. I cannot agree with people who praised the poetic beauty of the countryside. I cannot agree with them because I know in reality, life in the countryside is all about poverty and hunger. Of course, I was blessed to be born in that remote village and to spend my childhood by the clear river looking back at my path from the village gives rise to a complicated happiness. The river has played an important role in my childhood because I gave me a unique life experience, as if IT was preparing me for my literary journey. Whatever life has given me be at poverty, hunger, misfortune or tragedy, for me, they are treasures I will be forever grateful for and feel blessed sed by these treasures.

Every day, the alarm clock announcers the start of another busy week day in the morning, we jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into our clothes and out the door, with hardly a moment to think. The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we're unfocused. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons, making inspiration less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what's going on in the world, IT would not make us feel good for sure. So put that news website or a newspaper aside until after the day's work is done. So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to fully prepare ourselves for creative problem solving? We'd set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed following our thoughts where they lead. We'd stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping, thinking about task in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We take some deep breaths on our way to work instead of complaining about heavy traffic, and once in the office, after we get a cup of coffee, we d click on links not to the news of the day, but to the funnest videos the internet has to offer . every day.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. One afternoon, Martin Blake, a wheel chair user and travel writer, arrived at a small cruise dock expecting the familiar difficulties usually accompanying travel. Over the years, he 21 (learn) to allow extra time, anticipate confusion and prepare himself for unwanted attention. This time, however, the experience unfolded differently. A ramp had already been positioned, and boarding 22 (proceed) quietly, without explanation or delay, allowing him to enter the ship 23 . The ship felt unlike the large liners Blake had long avoided. Smaller in scale, it offered wide passageways and open spaces 24 made movement easier. What struck him most, though, was not the design but the behaviour of the crew. They remained nearby but never rushed forward, 25 (step) in only when help was clearly needed. This restraint, rare in his experience, made the assistance feel respectful 26 disturbing. As the journey continued, the pattern held. Meals were served in spaces that 27 be reached independently, and daily activities allowed for flexibility. Short excursions were planned with multiple options, enabling passengers to decide how much support to accept. Blake gradually relaxed into routines that usually required constant adjustment, gaining insight 28 how thoughtful planning could reduce unnecessary stress. Looking back, he realized expectations had shifted. Accessibility was treated not as 29 added feature or favour, but as part of ordinary travel. Physical limits remained, yet explanation became less necessary, it no longer seemingly required 30 (repeat). On a ship shaped by careful choices, independence felt natural, dignity preserved through quiet details. 【答案】 21．had learned/had learnt 22．proceeded 23．himself 24．that/which 25．stepping 26．rather than/ instead of 27．could 28．into 29．an 30．to be repeated/repeating 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述轮椅使用者马丁·布莱克的一次无障碍邮轮旅行经历，展现无障碍设计与人文关怀如何提升残障人士的出行体验。 21．考查时态。句意：多年来，他已经学会留出额外时间、预判混乱情况，并为不必要的关注做好心理准备。空格处是谓语动词，文章描述的是过去发生的事，结合时间状语Over the years可知，此处应该用过去完成时，表示“过去的过去”，即“在到达码头前就已学会”。故填had learned/learnt。 22．考查时态。句意：舷梯早已放置到位，登船过程安静地进行，没有解释也没有延误，让他得以独自进入船舱。空格处是谓语动词，句子描述过去发生的事，应该用一般过去时，proceed的过去式是proceeded。故填proceeded。 23．考查代词。句意同上。根据上文的without explanation or delay可知，此处强调“他独自进入船舱”，所以应该用反身代词himself。故填himself。 24．考查定语从句。句意：它规模更小，设有宽敞的通道和开放空间，这些让行动更加轻松。空格处引导定语从句，修饰先行词wide passageways and open spaces，关系词在在句中作主语，所以应该用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。 25．考查非谓语动词。句意：他们待在附近却从不贸然上前，只在明确需要帮助时才介入。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，动词step与其逻辑主语they之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词stepping作状语。故填stepping。 26．考查介词短语。句意：这种克制在他的经历中很少见，让帮助显得充满尊重而非打扰。前后对比“尊重”与“打扰”，根据空格前后的名词，空格处应该用介词或介词短语，且意义为“而不是”，所以用rather than或instead of。故填rather than/instead of。 27．考查情态动词。句意：餐食供应区可以独立到达，日常活动也具有灵活性。根据空格后的动词原形be可知，空格处应该填入一个情态动词，且意义为“能够”，结合句子描述过去发生的事，此处应该用could。故填could。 28．考查介词。句意：布莱克逐渐适应了那些通常需要不断调整的日常安排，并洞察到周到的规划如何能减少不必要的压力。insight into“洞悉；了解”是固定搭配。故填into。 29．考查冠词。句意：无障碍设施不再被视为一项额外特色或恩惠，而是普通旅行的一部分。根据空格后的单数名词feature or favour可知，空格处应该用不定冠词表示“一”，added发音是元音音素开头，所以用an。故填an。 30．考查非谓语动词。句意：身体限制依然存在，但解释变得不那么必要了——似乎不再需要重复解释。require to do是固定搭配，动词repeat与其逻辑主语it之间是被动关系，此处应该用不定式的被动语态。require doing=require to be done，所以空格处也可以用动名词repeating作宾语，主动形式表被动含义。故填to be repeated/repeating。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．incredible        B．interruption    C． mapped    D．optimistic        E. presented        F. process G. recreated        H. seeking        I. slicing        J. systematically    K. theoretically Would you upload your mind into a computer? As far as science can tell, the brain creates your sense of self. Cells called neurons (神经元) fire in patterns that form your memories, likes, dislikes, and more. If, 31 , some instrument could gather enough information about the neurons in your brain, then that information could be saved in a data file. Then, perhaps, your unique network of neurons could be 32 , either in a computer virtual model or in some sort of artificial body. That sounds 33 — and it is. No technology can copy a whole brain. In 2019, researchers in Seattle 34 all the neurons in a tiny piece of mouse brain, only the size of a grain of sand. They cut it into 25,000 slices, took over 100 million pictures, and found more than 100,000 neurons with about a billion connections. This 35 took five months and ate up two million gigabytes (GB) of computer storage space. That's enough to store 40,000 high-quality movies! And that's all for one tiny mouse brain piece. Imaging an entire human brain with this technology today would require dozens of microscopes operating continuously, without 36 , for thousands of years. Another significant challenge has 37 itself. Current brain-scanning methods work by 38 up a brain, which only works with a dead subject. Michael S. A．Graziano is a neuroscientist at Princeton University in New Jersey. He recently wrote in The Wall Street Journal, “To upload a human brain, we probably want a scanner that doesn't kill the subject...The most wildly 39 predictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries.” Some people are willing to wait. The memory research company Nectome is based in San Francisco, California. In 2018, the group announced it was 40 to preserve brains just as a person dies. The idea is that in the future, if the technology is ever ready, scientists could bring that mind back to life. 【答案】 31．K 32．G 33．A 34．C 35．F 36．B 37．E 38．I 39．D 40．H 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“将意识上传到电脑”这一话题展开讨论，阐述其理论可能性、当前技术现状、面临的挑战及相关探索。 31．考查副词。句意：从理论上讲，如果某种仪器能收集到足够多关于你大脑神经元的信息，那么这些信息就可以保存在数据文件中。空处修饰整个条件状语从句，结合后文perhaps（或许）可知，此处表“理论上”，副词theoretically“理论上”符合题意。故选K。 32．考查动词被动语态。句意：然后，或许你独特的神经元网络可以被重建，要么在电脑虚拟模型中，要么在某种人工身体中。空处与be动词构成被动语态，结合前文save the information（保存信息）可知，此处指基于信息重建神经元网络，动词recreated“重建；再创造”符合题意。故选G。 33．考查形容词。句意：这听起来不可思议——事实也确实如此。空处作表语，结合后文No technology can copy a whole brain.（没有技术能复制整个大脑）可知，意识上传的想法听起来不切实际，形容词incredible“不可思议的；难以置信的”符合题意。故选A。 34．考查动词时态。句意：2019年，西雅图的研究人员绘制了一小块老鼠大脑（仅沙粒大小）中的所有神经元。空处作谓语，结合后文cut it into slices, took pictures（切片、拍照）可知，此处指绘制神经元分布图，动词mapped“绘制……的地图；绘制……分布图”符合题意，且动作发生在2019年，用过去式。故选C。 35．考查名词。句意：这个过程花了五个月时间，占用了200万吉字节的电脑存储空间。空处作主语，结合前文描述的“切片、拍照、发现神经元及连接”等一系列动作可知，此处指这一研究过程，名词process“过程；进程”符合题意。故选F。 36．考查名词。句意：如今，用这种技术对整个人脑进行成像，需要数十台显微镜连续运行数千年，不能中断。空处作介词without的宾语，结合operating continuously（连续运行）可知，此处指不中断，名词interruption“中断；打扰”符合题意。故选B。 37．考查动词时态。句意：另一个重大挑战已经显现。空处与has构成现在完成时，结合语境可知，此处指挑战已出现，动词presented“呈现；显现”符合题意。故选E。 38．考查非谓语动词。句意：目前的大脑扫描方法是通过将大脑切片来工作的，这种方法只适用于死亡的受试者。空处作介词by的宾语，用动名词形式，结合前文cut it into slices（切片）可知，此处指切片，动词slicing“切；切片”符合题意。故选I。 39．考查形容词。句意：最乐观的预测认为，意识上传将在几十年内实现，但如果需要几个世纪，我也不会感到惊讶。空处修饰名词predictions，结合within a few decades（几十年内）可知，此处指乐观的预测，形容词optimistic“乐观的”符合题意。故选D。 40．考查动词时态。句意：2018年，该小组宣布正寻求在人死亡时保存大脑。空处与was构成过去进行时，结合语境可知，此处指寻求保存大脑的方法，动词seeking“寻求；寻找”符合题意。故选H。 III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Public discussion of screen time tends to begin with children. Parents complain about phones replacing books, teachers worry about shrinking attention spans, and researchers, among them Jonathan Haidt, warn of long-term psychological effects. These concerns have led to 41 calls for limits on young people’s online behaviour. What is rarely questioned, 42 , is whether the group attracting the most attention is also the one spending the most time in front of screens. 43 this ongoing debate, screen habits have been quietly changing elsewhere. Television has long shaped daily routines in retirement, yet today’s older adults are no longer 44 to a single device. Smartphones, tablets and online platforms have 45 existing habits, often without much notice. What looks like harmless addition gradually becomes 46 , as activities once filling the day are reorganized and give way to digital alternatives that require less effort and planning. This transformation is often 47 , and with good reason. Digital tools offer older people forms of access that become increasingly valuable with age. Messages travel faster than visits, services arrive without 48 effort, and entertainment demands little preparation. These conveniences, taken together, allow older people to adjust their daily routines to changing physical and social conditions. They suggest not dependence but 49 . Yet convenience comes with 50 . Devices used by older adults are commonly linked to financial accounts, turning ease of 51 into potential exposure. At the same time, many retirees rely heavily on online news, where credibility varies widely. As 52 sources are replaced by endless streams of content, 53 becomes harder to secure, even as information grows more easily accessible. The effects of screen use, then, resist simple judgement. Screens can cause 54 while quietly reducing everyday contact. Unlike teenagers, whose online time is shaped by school schedules and parental rules, older adults face few 55 limits. The question is no longer whether screen time is good or bad, but how freedom, risk and responsibility shift when digital habits expand beyond the young. 41．A．household B．sudden C．official D．repeated 42．A．therefore B．meanwhile C．however D．similarly 43．A．Because of B．Away from C．In spite of D．In case of 44．A．bound B．exposed C．attracted D．adapted 45．A．entered B．followed C．replaced D．reshaped 46．A．adjustment B．replacement C．routine D．custom 47．A．questioned B．ignored C．welcomed D．resisted 48．A．mental B．financial C．physical D．social 49．A．adaptation B．convenience C．comfort D．habit 50．A．benefits B．explanations C．conditions D．opportunities 51．A．access B．payment C．service D．management 52．A．approachable B．digital C．regular D．popular 53．A．popularity B．reliability C．possibility D．clarity 54．A．isolation B．boredom C．pressure D．anxiety 55．A．moral B．personal C．social D．external 【答案】 41．D 42．C 43．B 44．A 45．D 46．B 47．C 48．C 49．A 50．C 51．B 52．C 53．B 54．A 55．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕屏幕使用时间展开，探讨老年人屏幕使用习惯的变化、带来的便利与风险，指出屏幕使用效果需客观判断。 41．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些担忧导致人们一再呼吁限制年轻人的上网行为。A. household家庭的；B. sudden突然的；C. official官方的；D. repeated重复的。根据前文“Parents complain about phones replacing books, teachers worry about shrinking attention spans, and researchers, among them Jonathan Haidt, warn of long-term psychological effects”可知，对年轻人屏幕使用的担忧由来已久，由此引发的限制呼吁应是反复出现的。故选D。 42．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，很少有人质疑的是，最受关注的群体是否也是在屏幕前花费时间最多的群体。A. therefore因此；B. meanwhile同时；C. however然而；D. similarly类似地。前文讲人们聚焦年轻人屏幕使用并呼吁限制，结合后文“whether the group attracting the most attention is also the one spending the most time in front of screens”可知，前后为转折关系。故选C。 43．考查介词短语辨析。句意：在这场持续的争论之外，其他地方的屏幕使用习惯正悄然发生变化。A. Because of因为；B. Away from远离、在……之外；C. In spite of尽管；D. In case of万一。前文围绕年轻人屏幕使用展开争论，后文转而讲述老年人的屏幕使用习惯，即脱离前文争论的范畴。故选B。 44．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：电视长期以来塑造了退休后的日常生活，但如今的老年人不再局限于单一设备。A. bound受约束的、局限的；B. exposed暴露的；C. attracted被吸引的；D. adapted适应的。根据后文“Smartphones, tablets and online platforms”可知，老年人可使用的电子设备增多，不再只局限于电视这一种设备，be bound to“局限于”符合语境。故选A。 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：智能手机、平板电脑和在线平台重塑了现有的习惯，这一点往往未被过多关注。A. entered进入；B. followed跟随；C. replaced取代；D. reshaped重塑。根据后文“as activities once filling the day are reorganized”可知，日常活动被重新安排，即原有习惯被新设备和平台重塑，而非完全取代。故选D。 46．考查名词词义辨析。句意：看似无害的新增事物逐渐变成了替代品，因为曾经充斥一天的活动被重新安排，让位于更省力、更无需规划的数字替代方案。A. adjustment调整；B. replacement替代；C. routine日常惯例；D. custom习俗。根据前文“Television has long shaped daily routines”及后文活动被重新安排可知，电子设备逐渐成为电视的替代品。故选B。 47．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这种转变通常是受欢迎的，这是有充分理由的。A. questioned质疑；B. ignored忽视；C. welcomed欢迎；D. resisted抵制。根据后文“Digital tools offer older people forms of access that become increasingly valuable with age”可知，数字工具能为老年人提供有价值的便利，因此这种转变应是受认可、受欢迎的。故选C。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：信息传递比登门拜访更快，服务无需费力就能送达，娱乐也几乎不需要准备。A. mental精神的；B. financial经济的；C. physical身体的、体力的；D. social社交的。根据上文“Messages travel faster than visits,”可知，数字服务可让他们无需出门奔波，无需付出身体上的努力。故选C。 49．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这些便利加在一起，让老年人能够根据不断变化的身体和社会状况调整日常生活。它们体现的不是依赖，而是适应。A. adaptation适应；B. convenience便利；C. comfort舒适；D. habit习惯。根据前文“adjust their daily routines to changing physical and social conditions”可知，此处对应“调整适应”，强调老年人借助数字工具适应变化的状态。故选A。 50．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，便利也是有条件的。A. benefits益处；B. explanations解释；C. conditions条件；D. opportunities机会。根据后文“turning ease of 11 into potential exposure.”可知，数字设备虽带来便利，但也存在潜在的意外状况，即“条件”，故选C。 51．考查名词词义辨析。句意：老年人使用的设备通常与财务账户关联，这使得便捷的支付变成了潜在的风险暴露。A. access使用、获取；B. payment支付；C. service服务；D. management管理。结合上文“financial accounts”可知，与财务账户关联的应是支付行为，便捷的支付功能可能带来财务风险。故选B。 52．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当常规信息来源被源源不断的内容流取代时，即使信息变得更容易获取，可靠性也更难保证。A. approachable可接近的；B. digital数字的；C. regular常规的、定期的；D. popular受欢迎的。根据前文“many retirees rely heavily on online news, where credibility varies widely”可知，在线新闻可信度不一，相比之下，此前的信息来源应是常规且可信度较高的。故选C。 53．考查名词词义辨析。句意：当常规信息来源被源源不断的内容流取代时，即使信息变得更容易获取，可靠性也更难保证。A. popularity受欢迎度；B. reliability可靠性；C. possibility可能性；D. clarity清晰度。根据前文“credibility varies widely”可知，此处核心话题为信息的可信度，即可靠性。故选B。 54．考查名词词义辨析。句意：屏幕在悄然减少日常交流的同时，也可能导致孤独感。A. isolation孤独感；B. boredom无聊；C. pressure压力；D. anxiety焦虑。根据后文“reducing everyday contact”可知，使用智能手机的时间，即屏幕时间减少了日常交流，由此推测可造成孤独感。故选A。 55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：与青少年不同，青少年的上网时间受学校日程和父母规定的影响，老年人几乎没有外部限制。A. moral道德的；B. personal个人的；C. social社交的；D. external外部的。根据上文“school schedules and parental rules”可知，这些都是青少年面临的外部限制，而老年人没有此类外部约束。故选D。 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When my family moved house years ago, I called a junk removal company to throw away our black love seat. In our new place, the old bargain couch had to go. Replacing it was the hard part. For years, I loved a West Elm couch the way you love museum art: respectfully, from a distance. My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down. I spent early years living in homes that were never wholly my own. When my kids were little, I left my husband and moved to a basement. There, again, I could make no decisions over my space. Buying a new couch in a space of my own felt monumental. It wasn’t long after we moved in. But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos. It was not meant for two active teenagers. After six months, the sofa’s middle began to bow. One night, we heard a crack. The split wood scratched my son’s leg and left a mark in the floor. In this couch, I had imagined I would find stability after years of housing challenges. It was evidence that I was a good mother. But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be. I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were? The next day I called the junk removal company. Then I ran to the store and came home with a sofa that we have come to affectionately refer to as the big girl. The big girl violates every design principle I once held dear and has swallowed the living room I had so carefully arranged. The fabric does nothing to elevate our living space. At first, it felt a little bit like a trap: I’d admitted defeat and surrendered the life I wanted to a warehouse couch. But with the big girl at home, something has shifted. Our living room now lives up to its name. I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is. This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity. There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection. People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has. 56．Why did the author buy the black love seat? A．Because she wanted to impress her children with her good taste. B．Because the couch came closest to the ideal couch in her eyes. C．Because she intended to replace a damaged and undesirable couch. D．Because the couch demonstrated financial stability after difficult years. 57．How did the author feel when she decided to throw her first couch (the black love seat)? A．Satisfied with its appeal and comfort. B．Proud of its ability to withstand her children’s activities. C．Frustrated because it fell short of her expectations. D．Angry about its poor quality and impracticality for family life. 58．The author’s decision to buy the second couch (the “big girl”) was primarily driven by ______. A．A change in her aesthetic preferences towards more practical furniture B．A realization that her ambitions for her home weren’t in line with her family’s reality C．The need to replace the broken West Elm sofa immediately D．A desire to create a more formal and elegant living space 59．What does the author mean by saying “There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection”? A．She doesn’t have to worry about damaging expensive furniture. B．She feels freed from the pressure of maintaining a perfect home. C．She finds freedom in the simple design of the new couch. D．She appreciates that the new couch is easy to clean and maintain. 【答案】56．B 57．C 58．B 59．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者先后购买两张沙发的经历与心路转变：从追求理想中精致的沙发，到选择贴合家庭实际生活的实用款沙发，最终领悟到生活不必苛求完美，舒适自在才是真谛。   56．细节理解题。根据第二段中“My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down.(我理想的款式是一种买不起的两件套式躺椅。这是我能得到的最接近的东西。安顿下来一个小时后，我订购了一张黑色的双人座椅。)”可知，作者购买这张黑色双人沙发是因为它最接近她心目中的理想沙发。故选B。 57．推理判断题。根据第四段中“But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos.(但这张我本以为会一直保持精致整洁状态的沙发，却始终一片狼藉。)”以及第5段中“But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be.(但看着凹陷的坐垫，我发现这张沙发突然显得廉价又寒酸——这成了我这个努力却始终达不到自己期望的女人的写照。)”可知，作者决定扔掉第一张沙发时，内心因它没能达到自己的期望而感到沮丧。故选C。 58．推理判断题。根据第六段中“I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were?(我一直在试图强加一个与我的现实生活不匹配的家的版本。破损的沙发迫使我去思考：如果搁置我提供一个充满爱的家的抱负，而是接受我们家庭的现状，会是什么样子？)”可知，作者购买第二张沙发的主要原因是意识到自己对家的理想追求与家庭的现实生活并不相符。故选B。 59．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is.(我不再担心毛发或任何其他乱七八糟的东西。)”和最后一段中“This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity.(这张沙发并非我梦想中的沙发。它既非值得投资的物件，也非彰显品味的宣言。它只是一件生活工具，一个纯粹功能性的存在。)”以及“People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has.(人们不会问他们能不能把脚翘起来。很明显，每个人都已经这么做了。)”可知，新沙发不需要精心维护，家人可以随意使用。这种“无需保护”的特性让她从必须保持家具和家居环境完美的心理压力中解脱出来，感受到了自由。故选B。 (B) Volunteer Opportunities for Kids Animal shelter volunteering If your child is an animal lover, then volunteering at a local animal shelter could be a great option. Most animal shelters provide volunteer opportunities. They need volunteers for cleaning kennels, feeding, walking dogs and so on. Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time. Tutoring If your child is a good student and enjoys school or even just a specific subject, volunteering to tutor lower grade students is a great opportunity. Helping struggling students catch up or grasp a concept can make your friend feel great. It is an easy and convenient way to get your teen volunteering after school. And we suggest the age should be older than 14. Youth sports Another great opportunity to get your kid volunteering is in sports. If your child has years of experience with any sport, they can most likely find an opportunity to help out younger kids. Most youth sports need teenage volunteers to be an assistant coach or a referee. Teenagers can volunteer in maintenance to spruce up (使整洁) fields, or in cleanup after game days. The age of volunteers is required beyond 14. Contact any local sports league to get specifics on where they may be needing volunteers. Service projects for teens Cleaning up a common space such as a park or walking trail is a great way to get active in the community, and your teen can even include their friends in their volunteer effort. More detail projects may include something like building a shade structure at a local playground or planting trees. We suggest the age of the kids should be older than 14. 60．Of the following volunteer opportunities, which is suitable for kids under 14? A．Tutoring. B．Service project s for teens. C．Youth sports. D．Animal shelter volunteering. 61．What can kids do when volunteering in sports? A．They can teach younger players. B．They can give assistance to referees. C．They can become professional coaches. D．They are welcome to visit local sports league. 62．Who is the passage intended for? A．Kids’ parents. B．Sports workers. C．Animal lovers. D．School teachers. 【答案】60．D 61．B 62．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了适合儿童和青少年的志愿活动，包括在动物收容所志愿服务、辅导低年级学生、参与青少年体育运动以及参与社区服务项目等。 60．细节理解题。根据Animal shelter volunteering部分中“Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time.(通常，只要孩子得到父母或监护人的同意，他们就可以在14岁时做志愿者，如果父母带他们来并监督他们的志愿者时间，他们甚至可以更小。)”可知，只要孩子有家长或监护人的签名同意，他们甚至可以从14岁开始志愿服务，如果家长陪同并监督，年龄可以更小。因此，在动物收容所志愿服务是适合14岁以下孩子的志愿活动。故选D。 61．细节理解题。根据Youth sports部分中“Most youth sports need teenage volunteers to be an assistant coach or a referee. (大多数青少年运动都需要青少年志愿者担任助理教练或裁判。)”可知，青少年在体育活动中可以担任助理教练或裁判。因此，他们可以给裁判员提供帮助。故选B。 62．推理判断题。根据本篇文章标题“Volunteer Opportunities for Kids(儿童义工机会)”可知，本文主要介绍了适合儿童和青少年的志愿活动，包括在动物收容所志愿服务、辅导低年级学生、参与青少年体育运动以及参与社区服务项目等。因此，全文都在介绍适合孩子参与的志愿活动，并提供了如何联系相关机构的具体信息。因此，这篇文章是为了指导孩子的父母如何找到适合孩子参与的志愿活动。故文章的对象为“孩子的父母”。故选A。 (C) America’s Bald Eagles — A Remarkable Story of Success When it comes to wildlife, most narratives emphasize catastrophe and species loss caused by human activity. So it is refreshing to encounter exceptions, and perhaps no story is more inspiring in the United States than that of the bald eagle, rescued from near extinction. Its status as America’s national emblem (国徽) may have drawn attention, but symbolic respect alone could not safeguard the species. Originally widespread across North America, the bald eagle was a natural choice for a national symbol, with its impressive wingspan, commanding presence, and unique association with the continent. Yet over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the species faced constant threats. Urban expansion, agricultural development, and indiscriminate hunting gradually reduced its numbers to dangerously low levels. Federal protection and public awareness campaigns became essential to prevent complete collapse. A key factor in the eagle’s decline was widespread pesticide use, particularly DDT. Affected fish disrupted reproduction, as eagles laid eggs with shells too fragile to survive. Awareness of the problem, brought to national attention by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, eventually led to the banning of DDT and marked a pivotal turning point in conservation efforts. To accelerate recovery, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed a captive-breeding program. Scientists artificially incubated (孵化) initial groups of eggs, allowing eagles to produce following groups naturally, which significantly promoted population growth. These joint efforts, alongside habitat protection and strict legal safeguards, gradually restored the species. Today, bald eagle populations have rebounded impressively. While still classified as “threatened” and protected under multiple federal statutes, the species’ resurgence illustrates the power of sustained conservation, legislative action, and public engagement. Their recovery stands as a proof to what can be achieved when humans take responsibility for preserving the natural world. The story of the bald eagle demonstrates that even severe population declines can be reversed with careful planning, dedicated effort, and societal commitment. It is a rare and compelling example of human intervention successfully preserving both a national symbol and a species once on the brink of extinction. The bald eagle’s comeback reminds us that, with alertness and cooperation, it is possible to balance human activity with the survival of the wild. 63．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the bald eagle being the national emblem? A．To prove that the bald eagle was more important than any other animals. B．To illustrate that the bald eagle’s popularity led to its decline. C．To suggest that its near extinction was caused by American’s neglect. D．To emphasize that admiration was insufficient to protect the species. 64．What does the underlined phrase “a pivotal turning point” in para. 3 most likely refer to? A．The first scientific discovery of the harmful effects of pesticides. B．The introduction of laws protecting endangered wildlife species. C．The ban on DDT following the awareness raised by Silent Spring. D．The publication of Rachel Carson’s book and her later recognition. 65．Which measure contributed most directly to the population recovery of bald eagles? A．The ban on pesticide use in bald eagles’ habitats. B．The breeding plan and egg incubation system. C．The improvement of public awareness campaigns. D．Science writers’ appeal to protect bald eagles. 66．What larger message does the author convey through the story of the bald eagle’s revival? A．Restoring nature requires advanced technology and strict management. B．Human efforts, when consistent and collective, can reverse grave damage. C．Symbolic species often recover faster because they attract more sympathy. D．Environmental protection depends mainly on political will and legislation. 【答案】63．D 64．C 65．B 66．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述美国白头海雕曾因人类活动濒临灭绝，经禁用杀虫剂、人工繁育等保护措施种群回升，印证人类合力可逆转生态破坏。 63．推理判断题。根据第一段“Its status as America’s national emblem (国徽) may have drawn attention, but symbolic respect alone could not safeguard the species.(它作为美国国徽的地位或许吸引了人们的关注，但仅靠象征性的尊重是无法保护这种物种的)”可知，作者提及“白头海雕成为国徽”是为了强调仅仅出于敬仰而无法保护该物种是不够的。故选D。 64．词句猜测题。根据第三段“A key factor in the eagle’s decline was widespread pesticide use, particularly DDT. Affected fish disrupted reproduction, as eagles laid eggs with shells too fragile to survive. Awareness of the problem, brought to national attention by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, eventually led to the banning of DDT and marked a pivotal turning point in conservation efforts.(鹰数量减少的一个关键因素是广泛使用的杀虫剂，尤其是滴滴涕。受污染的鱼类破坏了鹰的繁殖能力，因为它们产下的蛋壳过于脆弱，无法存活。这一问题引起了人们的广泛关注，这在蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》一书的推动下，最终促使滴滴涕被禁用，并标志着保护工作的一个重要转折点)”可知，蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》让公众关注到杀虫剂的危害，最终促成了滴滴涕（DDT）的禁用，这成了一个关键转折点，故划线词指的是“在《寂静的春天》引发公众关注之后，对滴滴涕的禁用”。故选C。 65．细节理解题。根据第四段“To accelerate recovery, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed a captive-breeding program. Scientists artificially incubated (孵化) initial groups of eggs, allowing eagles to produce following groups naturally, which significantly promoted population growth. These joint efforts, alongside habitat protection and strict legal safeguards, gradually restored the species.(为了加快物种的恢复进程，美国鱼类及野生动物管理局制定了一个人工繁育计划。科学家们人工孵化了首批鸟蛋，让鹰群能够自然地产下后续的蛋，这极大地促进了种群数量的增长。这些共同努力，再加上栖息地保护和严格的法律保障，最终使该物种得以恢复)”可知，培育计划和孵化系统对白头海雕种群的恢复起到了最直接的作用。故选B。 66．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“While still classified as “threatened” and protected under multiple federal statutes, the species’ resurgence illustrates the power of sustained conservation, legislative action, and public engagement.(尽管该物种仍被列为“濒危”物种，并受到多项联邦法规的保护，但其数量的回升表明了持续的保护工作、立法行动以及公众参与所产生的巨大作用)”以及最后一段“The bald eagle’s comeback reminds us that, with alertness and cooperation, it is possible to balance human activity with the survival of the wild.(白头海雕的重新回归提醒我们，只要保持警觉并相互协作，就有可能在人类活动与野生生物的生存之间找到平衡)”可知，作者通过白头海雕回归的故事想要传达的更深刻的意义是当人类的努力保持一致并形成合力时，能够扭转严重的损害。故选B。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The Health Risk in Space On May 30, 2023, China achieved a significant milestone by successfully launching three astronauts to its fully operational space station aboard the Shenzhou 16 spacecraft. This brought the population in orbit at the same time to a record high of 17. With more countries planning missions and commercial companies bringing people to space, opportunities for human space travel are rapidly expanding. 67 Since NASA wants to send a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s, scientists need to find solutions sooner rather than later. The Earth has a protective barrier, which is the area of space around a planet that is controlled by its magnetic field (磁场) and blocks radiation. 68 As the equivalent between 150 and 6,000 chest X-rays, this level of radiation can harm the human body, leading to heart disease. In addition, it can make the blood-brain barrier leak, exposing the brain to chemicals and proteins that are harmful to it. Astronauts must be well protected on future long-duration missions beyond low-Earth orbit. NASA is developing technology that can protect travelers on a Mars mission from radiation by building radiation-resistant materials into space vehicles and spacesuits. 69 Developing ways to reduce the effects of space radiation will enable missions other than traveling in space. 70 For example, products that protect astronauts from space radiation and reduce its harmful effects on the human body can also treat cancer patients receiving radiation treatments. A．However, astronauts traveling farther than the space station will face continuous exposure to this radiation. B．Medical and technological advances in the field bring benefits on Earth. C．Space exploration has led to many technological achievements advancing water treatment and satellite systems. D．Certain diets also bring the effects of radiation to a minimum. E．Despite the progress, traveling to space poses risks to the human body. F．NASA is planning dedicated extended-duration research on the space station. 【答案】67．E 68．A 69．D 70．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了随着太空旅行机会增多，太空辐射对人体有健康风险，还提及应对措施及太空辐射研究对地球的益处。 67．上文“With more countries planning missions and commercial companies bringing people to space, opportunities for human space travel are rapidly expanding.(随着更多国家计划开展太空任务，商业公司也将人们送往太空，人类太空旅行的机会正在迅速增加)”指出太空旅行机会增多这一进展，E选项“Despite the progress, traveling to space poses risks to the human body.(尽管有这些进展，但太空旅行对人体仍有风险)”与上文构成转折关系，引出下文要讨论的太空旅行对人体的风险，句中“the progress”照应上文太空旅行机会增多这一进展，上下文语意衔接自然。故选E项。 68．上文“The Earth has a protective barrier, which is the area of space around a planet that is controlled by its magnetic field (磁场) and blocks radiation.(地球有一个保护屏障，即行星周围受其磁场控制并阻挡辐射的空间区域)”提到地球有阻挡辐射的保护屏障，A选项“However, astronauts traveling farther than the space station will face continuous exposure to this radiation.(然而，前往空间站以外更远处的宇航员将持续暴露在这种辐射中)”与上文构成转折关系，说明超出空间站范围的宇航员会面临辐射问题，同时下文“As the equivalent between 150 and 6,000 chest X-rays, this level of radiation can harm the human body, leading to heart disease.(相当于150到6000次胸部X光，这种水平的辐射会对人体造成伤害，导致心脏病)”对这种辐射伤害进行了具体说明，上下文逻辑连贯。故选A项。 69．上文“NASA is developing technology that can protect travelers on a Mars mission from radiation by building radiation resistant materials into space vehicles and spacesuits.(美国国家航空航天局正在开发一种技术，通过在航天器和宇航服中使用抗辐射材料，来保护执行火星任务的旅行者免受辐射)”提到了通过技术手段来防护辐射，D选项“Certain diets also bring the effects of radiation to a minimum.(某些饮食也能将辐射的影响降到最低)”指出除了技术手段外，饮食也能起到降低辐射影响的作用，与上文的防护手段并列。故选D项。 70．上文“Developing ways to reduce the effects of space radiation will enable missions other than traveling in space.(开发减少太空辐射影响的方法将使除太空旅行之外的任务成为可能)”提到减少太空辐射影响的方法有其他作用，B选项“Medical and technological advances in the field bring benefits on Earth.(该领域的医学和技术进步将给地球带来好处)”承接上文，说明太空辐射研究在地球上也能带来益处，后文“For example, products that protect astronauts from space radiation and reduce its harmful effects on the human body can also treat cancer patients receiving radiation treatments.(例如，保护宇航员免受太空辐射并减少其对人体有害影响的产品也可以治疗接受放射治疗的癌症患者)”通过举例进一步说明，上下文逻辑连贯。故选B项。 IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and the Decline of Truth Spreading convincing misinformation once required great effort, but today a smartphone and generative AI can create fake photos, cloned voices, and videos that misrepresent events. While warnings about social media’s power to mislead are not new, AI has intensified the danger by making false content easier to produce and harder to detect. As a result, people now question whether what they see and hear is real, with genuine recordings dismissed as fake and fabricated ones appearing convincingly true. Fake content made by AI is already common. Many fake images show clear signs of AI generation, such as strange body shapes or unnatural faces, but these clues are easy to overlook. As the technology improves, such imperfections will become harder to spot. With so much fake content spreading, some people now use the existence of AI as an excuse to doubt even genuine information. The effects of this technology can be very serious. For example, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission has warned that cheaters can now copy a person’s voice to pretend to be a family member and trick people into sending money. In schools, some teens have already been caught creating and sharing fake images of classmates using AI tools. Despite these harmful uses, the technology is also being packaged as a consumer product. For instance, some smartphones now have advanced editing tools that can change faces in photos or even remove people completely. Not everyone thinks public access to AI will make misinformation worse. Some say there has always been more online content than people can handle. Yet this perspective is hardly comforting. Trust in institutions and experts is already at historic lows. As Hany Farid, a specialist in investigating digital evidence, observes: “If you don’t trust me and I don’t trust you, how do we respond to climate change, or have fair and open elections?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Generative AI now allows fake content to be created with ease, intensifying social media’s power to mislead. Such content is already widespread and increasingly hard to detect, leading many to doubt even genuine information. Serious consequences include fraud and misuse in schools. Although some argue that such access won’t worsen misinformation, falling trust in experts makes this view deeply concerning. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了生成式人工智能导致虚假内容泛滥及其带来的严重后果和信任危机。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Spreading convincing misinformation once required great effort, but today a smartphone and generative AI can create fake photos, cloned voices, and videos that misrepresent events. ②AI has intensified the danger by making false content easier to produce and harder to detect. ③Fake content made by AI is already common.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.One afternoon, Martin Blake, a wheel chair user and travel writer, arrived at a small cruise dock expecting the familiar difficulties usually accompanying travel. Over the years, he 21 (learn) to allow extra time, anticipate confusion and prepare himself for unwanted attention. This time, however, the experience unfolded differently. A ramp had already been positioned, and boarding 22 (proceed) quietly, without explanation or delay, allowing him to enter the ship 23 . The ship felt unlike the large liners Blake had long avoided. Smaller in scale, it offered wide passageways and open spaces 24 made movement easier. What struck him most, though, was not the design but the behaviour of the crew. They remained nearby but never rushed forward, 25 (step) in only when help was clearly needed. This restraint, rare in his experience, made the assistance feel respectful 26 disturbing. As the journey continued, the pattern held. Meals were served in spaces that 27 be reached independently, and daily activities allowed for flexibility. Short excursions were planned with multiple options, enabling passengers to decide how much support to accept. Blake gradually relaxed into routines that usually required constant adjustment, gaining insight 28 how thoughtful planning could reduce unnecessary stress. Looking back, he realized expectations had shifted. Accessibility was treated not as 29 added feature or favour, but as part of ordinary travel. Physical limits remained, yet explanation became less necessary, it no longer seemingly required 30 (repeat). On a ship shaped by careful choices, independence felt natural, dignity preserved through quiet details. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．incredible        B．interruption    C． mapped    D．optimistic        E. presented        F. process G. recreated        H. seeking        I. slicing        J. systematically    K. theoretically Would you upload your mind into a computer? As far as science can tell, the brain creates your sense of self. Cells called neurons (神经元) fire in patterns that form your memories, likes, dislikes, and more. If, 31 , some instrument could gather enough information about the neurons in your brain, then that information could be saved in a data file. Then, perhaps, your unique network of neurons could be 32 , either in a computer virtual model or in some sort of artificial body. That sounds 33 — and it is. No technology can copy a whole brain. In 2019, researchers in Seattle 34 all the neurons in a tiny piece of mouse brain, only the size of a grain of sand. They cut it into 25,000 slices, took over 100 million pictures, and found more than 100,000 neurons with about a billion connections. This 35 took five months and ate up two million gigabytes (GB) of computer storage space. That's enough to store 40,000 high-quality movies! And that's all for one tiny mouse brain piece. Imaging an entire human brain with this technology today would require dozens of microscopes operating continuously, without 36 , for thousands of years. Another significant challenge has 37 itself. Current brain-scanning methods work by 38 up a brain, which only works with a dead subject. Michael S. A．Graziano is a neuroscientist at Princeton University in New Jersey. He recently wrote in The Wall Street Journal, “To upload a human brain, we probably want a scanner that doesn't kill the subject...The most wildly 39 predictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries.” Some people are willing to wait. The memory research company Nectome is based in San Francisco, California. In 2018, the group announced it was 40 to preserve brains just as a person dies. The idea is that in the future, if the technology is ever ready, scientists could bring that mind back to life. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Public discussion of screen time tends to begin with children. Parents complain about phones replacing books, teachers worry about shrinking attention spans, and researchers, among them Jonathan Haidt, warn of long-term psychological effects. These concerns have led to 41 calls for limits on young people’s online behaviour. What is rarely questioned, 42 , is whether the group attracting the most attention is also the one spending the most time in front of screens. 43 this ongoing debate, screen habits have been quietly changing elsewhere. Television has long shaped daily routines in retirement, yet today’s older adults are no longer 44 to a single device. Smartphones, tablets and online platforms have 45 existing habits, often without much notice. What looks like harmless addition gradually becomes 46 , as activities once filling the day are reorganized and give way to digital alternatives that require less effort and planning. This transformation is often 47 , and with good reason. Digital tools offer older people forms of access that become increasingly valuable with age. Messages travel faster than visits, services arrive without 48 effort, and entertainment demands little preparation. These conveniences, taken together, allow older people to adjust their daily routines to changing physical and social conditions. They suggest not dependence but 49 . Yet convenience comes with 50 . Devices used by older adults are commonly linked to financial accounts, turning ease of 51 into potential exposure. At the same time, many retirees rely heavily on online news, where credibility varies widely. As 52 sources are replaced by endless streams of content, 53 becomes harder to secure, even as information grows more easily accessible. The effects of screen use, then, resist simple judgement. Screens can cause 54 while quietly reducing everyday contact. Unlike teenagers, whose online time is shaped by school schedules and parental rules, older adults face few 55 limits. The question is no longer whether screen time is good or bad, but how freedom, risk and responsibility shift when digital habits expand beyond the young. 41．A．household B．sudden C．official D．repeated 42．A．therefore B．meanwhile C．however D．similarly 43．A．Because of B．Away from C．In spite of D．In case of 44．A．bound B．exposed C．attracted D．adapted 45．A．entered B．followed C．replaced D．reshaped 46．A．adjustment B．replacement C．routine D．custom 47．A．questioned B．ignored C．welcomed D．resisted 48．A．mental B．financial C．physical D．social 49．A．adaptation B．convenience C．comfort D．habit 50．A．benefits B．explanations C．conditions D．opportunities 51．A．access B．payment C．service D．management 52．A．approachable B．digital C．regular D．popular 53．A．popularity B．reliability C．possibility D．clarity 54．A．isolation B．boredom C．pressure D．anxiety 55．A．moral B．personal C．social D．external Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When my family moved house years ago, I called a junk removal company to throw away our black love seat. In our new place, the old bargain couch had to go. Replacing it was the hard part. For years, I loved a West Elm couch the way you love museum art: respectfully, from a distance. My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down. I spent early years living in homes that were never wholly my own. When my kids were little, I left my husband and moved to a basement. There, again, I could make no decisions over my space. Buying a new couch in a space of my own felt monumental. It wasn’t long after we moved in. But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos. It was not meant for two active teenagers. After six months, the sofa’s middle began to bow. One night, we heard a crack. The split wood scratched my son’s leg and left a mark in the floor. In this couch, I had imagined I would find stability after years of housing challenges. It was evidence that I was a good mother. But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be. I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were? The next day I called the junk removal company. Then I ran to the store and came home with a sofa that we have come to affectionately refer to as the big girl. The big girl violates every design principle I once held dear and has swallowed the living room I had so carefully arranged. The fabric does nothing to elevate our living space. At first, it felt a little bit like a trap: I’d admitted defeat and surrendered the life I wanted to a warehouse couch. But with the big girl at home, something has shifted. Our living room now lives up to its name. I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is. This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity. There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection. People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has. 56．Why did the author buy the black love seat? A．Because she wanted to impress her children with her good taste. B．Because the couch came closest to the ideal couch in her eyes. C．Because she intended to replace a damaged and undesirable couch. D．Because the couch demonstrated financial stability after difficult years. 57．How did the author feel when she decided to throw her first couch (the black love seat)? A．Satisfied with its appeal and comfort. B．Proud of its ability to withstand her children’s activities. C．Frustrated because it fell short of her expectations. D．Angry about its poor quality and impracticality for family life. 58．The author’s decision to buy the second couch (the “big girl”) was primarily driven by ______. A．A change in her aesthetic preferences towards more practical furniture B．A realization that her ambitions for her home weren’t in line with her family’s reality C．The need to replace the broken West Elm sofa immediately D．A desire to create a more formal and elegant living space 59．What does the author mean by saying “There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection”? A．She doesn’t have to worry about damaging expensive furniture. B．She feels freed from the pressure of maintaining a perfect home. C．She finds freedom in the simple design of the new couch. D．She appreciates that the new couch is easy to clean and maintain. (B) Volunteer Opportunities for Kids Animal shelter volunteering If your child is an animal lover, then volunteering at a local animal shelter could be a great option. Most animal shelters provide volunteer opportunities. They need volunteers for cleaning kennels, feeding, walking dogs and so on. Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time. Tutoring If your child is a good student and enjoys school or even just a specific subject, volunteering to tutor lower grade students is a great opportunity. Helping struggling students catch up or grasp a concept can make your friend feel great. It is an easy and convenient way to get your teen volunteering after school. And we suggest the age should be older than 14. Youth sports Another great opportunity to get your kid volunteering is in sports. If your child has years of experience with any sport, they can most likely find an opportunity to help out younger kids. Most youth sports need teenage volunteers to be an assistant coach or a referee. Teenagers can volunteer in maintenance to spruce up (使整洁) fields, or in cleanup after game days. The age of volunteers is required beyond 14. Contact any local sports league to get specifics on where they may be needing volunteers. Service projects for teens Cleaning up a common space such as a park or walking trail is a great way to get active in the community, and your teen can even include their friends in their volunteer effort. More detail projects may include something like building a shade structure at a local playground or planting trees. We suggest the age of the kids should be older than 14. 60．Of the following volunteer opportunities, which is suitable for kids under 14? A．Tutoring. B．Service project s for teens. C．Youth sports. D．Animal shelter volunteering. 61．What can kids do when volunteering in sports? A．They can teach younger players. B．They can give assistance to referees. C．They can become professional coaches. D．They are welcome to visit local sports league. 62．Who is the passage intended for? A．Kids’ parents. B．Sports workers. C．Animal lovers. D．School teachers. (C) America’s Bald Eagles — A Remarkable Story of Success When it comes to wildlife, most narratives emphasize catastrophe and species loss caused by human activity. So it is refreshing to encounter exceptions, and perhaps no story is more inspiring in the United States than that of the bald eagle, rescued from near extinction. Its status as America’s national emblem (国徽) may have drawn attention, but symbolic respect alone could not safeguard the species. Originally widespread across North America, the bald eagle was a natural choice for a national symbol, with its impressive wingspan, commanding presence, and unique association with the continent. Yet over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the species faced constant threats. Urban expansion, agricultural development, and indiscriminate hunting gradually reduced its numbers to dangerously low levels. Federal protection and public awareness campaigns became essential to prevent complete collapse. A key factor in the eagle’s decline was widespread pesticide use, particularly DDT. Affected fish disrupted reproduction, as eagles laid eggs with shells too fragile to survive. Awareness of the problem, brought to national attention by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, eventually led to the banning of DDT and marked a pivotal turning point in conservation efforts. To accelerate recovery, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed a captive-breeding program. Scientists artificially incubated (孵化) initial groups of eggs, allowing eagles to produce following groups naturally, which significantly promoted population growth. These joint efforts, alongside habitat protection and strict legal safeguards, gradually restored the species. Today, bald eagle populations have rebounded impressively. While still classified as “threatened” and protected under multiple federal statutes, the species’ resurgence illustrates the power of sustained conservation, legislative action, and public engagement. Their recovery stands as a proof to what can be achieved when humans take responsibility for preserving the natural world. The story of the bald eagle demonstrates that even severe population declines can be reversed with careful planning, dedicated effort, and societal commitment. It is a rare and compelling example of human intervention successfully preserving both a national symbol and a species once on the brink of extinction. The bald eagle’s comeback reminds us that, with alertness and cooperation, it is possible to balance human activity with the survival of the wild. 63．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the bald eagle being the national emblem? A．To prove that the bald eagle was more important than any other animals. B．To illustrate that the bald eagle’s popularity led to its decline. C．To suggest that its near extinction was caused by American’s neglect. D．To emphasize that admiration was insufficient to protect the species. 64．What does the underlined phrase “a pivotal turning point” in para. 3 most likely refer to? A．The first scientific discovery of the harmful effects of pesticides. B．The introduction of laws protecting endangered wildlife species. C．The ban on DDT following the awareness raised by Silent Spring. D．The publication of Rachel Carson’s book and her later recognition. 65．Which measure contributed most directly to the population recovery of bald eagles? A．The ban on pesticide use in bald eagles’ habitats. B．The breeding plan and egg incubation system. C．The improvement of public awareness campaigns. D．Science writers’ appeal to protect bald eagles. 66．What larger message does the author convey through the story of the bald eagle’s revival? A．Restoring nature requires advanced technology and strict management. B．Human efforts, when consistent and collective, can reverse grave damage. C．Symbolic species often recover faster because they attract more sympathy. D．Environmental protection depends mainly on political will and legislation. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The Health Risk in Space On May 30, 2023, China achieved a significant milestone by successfully launching three astronauts to its fully operational space station aboard the Shenzhou 16 spacecraft. This brought the population in orbit at the same time to a record high of 17. With more countries planning missions and commercial companies bringing people to space, opportunities for human space travel are rapidly expanding. 67 Since NASA wants to send a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s, scientists need to find solutions sooner rather than later. The Earth has a protective barrier, which is the area of space around a planet that is controlled by its magnetic field (磁场) and blocks radiation. 68 As the equivalent between 150 and 6,000 chest X-rays, this level of radiation can harm the human body, leading to heart disease. In addition, it can make the blood-brain barrier leak, exposing the brain to chemicals and proteins that are harmful to it. Astronauts must be well protected on future long-duration missions beyond low-Earth orbit. NASA is developing technology that can protect travelers on a Mars mission from radiation by building radiation-resistant materials into space vehicles and spacesuits. 69 Developing ways to reduce the effects of space radiation will enable missions other than traveling in space. 70 For example, products that protect astronauts from space radiation and reduce its harmful effects on the human body can also treat cancer patients receiving radiation treatments. A．However, astronauts traveling farther than the space station will face continuous exposure to this radiation. B．Medical and technological advances in the field bring benefits on Earth. C．Space exploration has led to many technological achievements advancing water treatment and satellite systems. D．Certain diets also bring the effects of radiation to a minimum. E．Despite the progress, traveling to space poses risks to the human body. F．NASA is planning dedicated extended-duration research on the space station. IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and the Decline of Truth Spreading convincing misinformation once required great effort, but today a smartphone and generative AI can create fake photos, cloned voices, and videos that misrepresent events. While warnings about social media’s power to mislead are not new, AI has intensified the danger by making false content easier to produce and harder to detect. As a result, people now question whether what they see and hear is real, with genuine recordings dismissed as fake and fabricated ones appearing convincingly true. Fake content made by AI is already common. Many fake images show clear signs of AI generation, such as strange body shapes or unnatural faces, but these clues are easy to overlook. As the technology improves, such imperfections will become harder to spot. With so much fake content spreading, some people now use the existence of AI as an excuse to doubt even genuine information. The effects of this technology can be very serious. For example, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission has warned that cheaters can now copy a person’s voice to pretend to be a family member and trick people into sending money. In schools, some teens have already been caught creating and sharing fake images of classmates using AI tools. Despite these harmful uses, the technology is also being packaged as a consumer product. For instance, some smartphones now have advanced editing tools that can change faces in photos or even remove people completely. Not everyone thinks public access to AI will make misinformation worse. Some say there has always been more online content than people can handle. Yet this perspective is hardly comforting. Trust in institutions and experts is already at historic lows. As Hany Farid, a specialist in investigating digital evidence, observes: “If you don’t trust me and I don’t trust you, how do we respond to climate change, or have fair and open elections?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．他回答得吞吞吐吐，从某种意义上说，就是婉拒你的邀请。(equal) (汉译英) 73．这块布料轻薄又速干，最适合做运动装。(cloth) (汉译英) 74．水果采摘让游客身心放松，也帮助果农增加了至少三分之二的销量，一举两得。(by) (汉译英) 75．无论压力多大，这位天才运动员都能稳定发挥，在各大赛事中摘金夺银，为国争光。（However）（汉译英） VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76．Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是明启中学高三学生李华，学校英文杂志社正在举办“New Year, New Me”主题征文活动，邀请同学们分享自己的新年愿望与成长规划。你发现自己近半年存在一些健康方面 的问题，希望改变生活习惯做出调整。请你投稿一篇短文，内容必须包括： (1)描述你目前面临的健康问题(如睡眠不足、缺乏运动、用眼过度等); (2)分析该问题产生的主要原因； (3)你的新年决心及期待的效果。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共8页） 试题 第8页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高考英语必胜卷（上海专用） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：140分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.Listening Comprehension （第1-10题, 每题1分；第11-20题，每题1.5分；共25分） Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.One afternoon, Martin Blake, a wheel chair user and travel writer, arrived at a small cruise dock expecting the familiar difficulties usually accompanying travel. Over the years, he 21 (learn) to allow extra time, anticipate confusion and prepare himself for unwanted attention. This time, however, the experience unfolded differently. A ramp had already been positioned, and boarding 22 (proceed) quietly, without explanation or delay, allowing him to enter the ship 23 . The ship felt unlike the large liners Blake had long avoided. Smaller in scale, it offered wide passageways and open spaces 24 made movement easier. What struck him most, though, was not the design but the behaviour of the crew. They remained nearby but never rushed forward, 25 (step) in only when help was clearly needed. This restraint, rare in his experience, made the assistance feel respectful 26 disturbing. As the journey continued, the pattern held. Meals were served in spaces that 27 be reached independently, and daily activities allowed for flexibility. Short excursions were planned with multiple options, enabling passengers to decide how much support to accept. Blake gradually relaxed into routines that usually required constant adjustment, gaining insight 28 how thoughtful planning could reduce unnecessary stress. Looking back, he realized expectations had shifted. Accessibility was treated not as 29 added feature or favour, but as part of ordinary travel. Physical limits remained, yet explanation became less necessary, it no longer seemingly required 30 (repeat). On a ship shaped by careful choices, independence felt natural, dignity preserved through quiet details. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．incredible        B．interruption    C． mapped    D．optimistic        E. presented        F. process G. recreated        H. seeking        I. slicing        J. systematically    K. theoretically Would you upload your mind into a computer? As far as science can tell, the brain creates your sense of self. Cells called neurons (神经元) fire in patterns that form your memories, likes, dislikes, and more. If, 31 , some instrument could gather enough information about the neurons in your brain, then that information could be saved in a data file. Then, perhaps, your unique network of neurons could be 32 , either in a computer virtual model or in some sort of artificial body. That sounds 33 — and it is. No technology can copy a whole brain. In 2019, researchers in Seattle 34 all the neurons in a tiny piece of mouse brain, only the size of a grain of sand. They cut it into 25,000 slices, took over 100 million pictures, and found more than 100,000 neurons with about a billion connections. This 35 took five months and ate up two million gigabytes (GB) of computer storage space. That's enough to store 40,000 high-quality movies! And that's all for one tiny mouse brain piece. Imaging an entire human brain with this technology today would require dozens of microscopes operating continuously, without 36 , for thousands of years. Another significant challenge has 37 itself. Current brain-scanning methods work by 38 up a brain, which only works with a dead subject. Michael S. A．Graziano is a neuroscientist at Princeton University in New Jersey. He recently wrote in The Wall Street Journal, “To upload a human brain, we probably want a scanner that doesn't kill the subject...The most wildly 39 predictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries.” Some people are willing to wait. The memory research company Nectome is based in San Francisco, California. In 2018, the group announced it was 40 to preserve brains just as a person dies. The idea is that in the future, if the technology is ever ready, scientists could bring that mind back to life. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Public discussion of screen time tends to begin with children. Parents complain about phones replacing books, teachers worry about shrinking attention spans, and researchers, among them Jonathan Haidt, warn of long-term psychological effects. These concerns have led to 41 calls for limits on young people’s online behaviour. What is rarely questioned, 42 , is whether the group attracting the most attention is also the one spending the most time in front of screens. 43 this ongoing debate, screen habits have been quietly changing elsewhere. Television has long shaped daily routines in retirement, yet today’s older adults are no longer 44 to a single device. Smartphones, tablets and online platforms have 45 existing habits, often without much notice. What looks like harmless addition gradually becomes 46 , as activities once filling the day are reorganized and give way to digital alternatives that require less effort and planning. This transformation is often 47 , and with good reason. Digital tools offer older people forms of access that become increasingly valuable with age. Messages travel faster than visits, services arrive without 48 effort, and entertainment demands little preparation. These conveniences, taken together, allow older people to adjust their daily routines to changing physical and social conditions. They suggest not dependence but 49 . Yet convenience comes with 50 . Devices used by older adults are commonly linked to financial accounts, turning ease of 51 into potential exposure. At the same time, many retirees rely heavily on online news, where credibility varies widely. As 52 sources are replaced by endless streams of content, 53 becomes harder to secure, even as information grows more easily accessible. The effects of screen use, then, resist simple judgement. Screens can cause 54 while quietly reducing everyday contact. Unlike teenagers, whose online time is shaped by school schedules and parental rules, older adults face few 55 limits. The question is no longer whether screen time is good or bad, but how freedom, risk and responsibility shift when digital habits expand beyond the young. 41．A．household B．sudden C．official D．repeated 42．A．therefore B．meanwhile C．however D．similarly 43．A．Because of B．Away from C．In spite of D．In case of 44．A．bound B．exposed C．attracted D．adapted 45．A．entered B．followed C．replaced D．reshaped 46．A．adjustment B．replacement C．routine D．custom 47．A．questioned B．ignored C．welcomed D．resisted 48．A．mental B．financial C．physical D．social 49．A．adaptation B．convenience C．comfort D．habit 50．A．benefits B．explanations C．conditions D．opportunities 51．A．access B．payment C．service D．management 52．A．approachable B．digital C．regular D．popular 53．A．popularity B．reliability C．possibility D．clarity 54．A．isolation B．boredom C．pressure D．anxiety 55．A．moral B．personal C．social D．external Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When my family moved house years ago, I called a junk removal company to throw away our black love seat. In our new place, the old bargain couch had to go. Replacing it was the hard part. For years, I loved a West Elm couch the way you love museum art: respectfully, from a distance. My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down. I spent early years living in homes that were never wholly my own. When my kids were little, I left my husband and moved to a basement. There, again, I could make no decisions over my space. Buying a new couch in a space of my own felt monumental. It wasn’t long after we moved in. But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos. It was not meant for two active teenagers. After six months, the sofa’s middle began to bow. One night, we heard a crack. The split wood scratched my son’s leg and left a mark in the floor. In this couch, I had imagined I would find stability after years of housing challenges. It was evidence that I was a good mother. But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be. I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were? The next day I called the junk removal company. Then I ran to the store and came home with a sofa that we have come to affectionately refer to as the big girl. The big girl violates every design principle I once held dear and has swallowed the living room I had so carefully arranged. The fabric does nothing to elevate our living space. At first, it felt a little bit like a trap: I’d admitted defeat and surrendered the life I wanted to a warehouse couch. But with the big girl at home, something has shifted. Our living room now lives up to its name. I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is. This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity. There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection. People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has. 56．Why did the author buy the black love seat? A．Because she wanted to impress her children with her good taste. B．Because the couch came closest to the ideal couch in her eyes. C．Because she intended to replace a damaged and undesirable couch. D．Because the couch demonstrated financial stability after difficult years. 57．How did the author feel when she decided to throw her first couch (the black love seat)? A．Satisfied with its appeal and comfort. B．Proud of its ability to withstand her children’s activities. C．Frustrated because it fell short of her expectations. D．Angry about its poor quality and impracticality for family life. 58．The author’s decision to buy the second couch (the “big girl”) was primarily driven by ______. A．A change in her aesthetic preferences towards more practical furniture B．A realization that her ambitions for her home weren’t in line with her family’s reality C．The need to replace the broken West Elm sofa immediately D．A desire to create a more formal and elegant living space 59．What does the author mean by saying “There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection”? A．She doesn’t have to worry about damaging expensive furniture. B．She feels freed from the pressure of maintaining a perfect home. C．She finds freedom in the simple design of the new couch. D．She appreciates that the new couch is easy to clean and maintain.

D．Animal shelter volunteering. 61．What can kids do when volunteering in sports? A．They can teach younger players. B．They can give assistance to referees. C．They can become professional coaches. D．They are welcome to visit local sports league. 62．Who is the passage intended for? A．Kids’ parents. B．Sports workers. C．Animal lovers. D．School teachers.

It is a rare and compelling example of human intervention successfully preserving both a national symbol and a species once on the brink of extinction. The bald eagle’s comeback reminds us that, with alertness and cooperation, it is possible to balance human activity with the survival of the wild. 63．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the bald eagle being the national emblem? A．To prove that the bald eagle was more important than any other animals. B．To illustrate that the bald eagle’s popularity led to its decline. C．To suggest that its near extinction was caused by American’s neglect. D．To emphasize that admiration was insufficient to protect the species. 64．What does the underlined phrase “a pivotal turning point” in para. 3 most likely refer to? A．The first scientific discovery of the harmful effects of pesticides. B．The introduction of laws protecting endangered wildlife species. C．The ban on DDT following the awareness raised by Silent Spring. D．The publication of Rachel Carson’s book and her later recognition. 65．Which measure contributed most directly to the population recovery of bald eagles? A．The ban on pesticide use in bald eagles’ habitats. B．The breeding plan and egg incubation system. C．The improvement of public awareness campaigns. D．Science writers’ appeal to protect bald eagles. 66．What larger message does the author convey through the story of the bald eagle’s revival? A．Restoring nature requires advanced technology and strict management. B．Human efforts, when consistent and collective, can reverse grave damage. C．Symbolic species often recover faster because they attract more sympathy. D．Environmental protection depends mainly on political will and legislation. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The Health Risk in Space On May 30, 2023, China achieved a significant milestone by successfully launching three astronauts to its fully operational space station aboard the Shenzhou 16 spacecraft. This brought the population in orbit at the same time to a record high of 17. With more countries planning missions and commercial companies bringing people to space, opportunities for human space travel are rapidly expanding. 67 Since NASA wants to send a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s, scientists need to find solutions sooner rather than later. The Earth has a protective barrier, which is the area of space around a planet that is controlled by its magnetic field (磁场) and blocks radiation. 68 As the equivalent between 150 and 6,000 chest X-rays, this level of radiation can harm the human body, leading to heart disease. In addition, it can make the blood-brain barrier leak, exposing the brain to chemicals and proteins that are harmful to it. Astronauts must be well protected on future long-duration missions beyond low-Earth orbit. NASA is developing technology that can protect travelers on a Mars mission from radiation by building radiation-resistant materials into space vehicles and spacesuits. 69 Developing ways to reduce the effects of space radiation will enable missions other than traveling in space. 70 For example, products that protect astronauts from space radiation and reduce its harmful effects on the human body can also treat cancer patients receiving radiation treatments. A．However, astronauts traveling farther than the space station will face continuous exposure to this radiation. B．Medical and technological advances in the field bring benefits on Earth. C．Space exploration has led to many technological achievements advancing water treatment and satellite systems. D．Certain diets also bring the effects of radiation to a minimum. E．Despite the progress, traveling to space poses risks to the human body. F．NASA is planning dedicated extended-duration research on the space station.

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and the Decline of Truth Spreading convincing misinformation once required great effort, but today a smartphone and generative AI can create fake photos, cloned voices, and videos that misrepresent events. While warnings about social media’s power to mislead are not new, AI has intensified the danger by making false content easier to produce and harder to detect. As a result, people now question whether what they see and hear is real, with genuine recordings dismissed as fake and fabricated ones appearing convincingly true. Fake content made by AI is already common. Many fake images show clear signs of AI generation, such as strange body shapes or unnatural faces, but these clues are easy to overlook. As the technology improves, such imperfections will become harder to spot. With so much fake content spreading, some people now use the existence of AI as an excuse to doubt even genuine information. The effects of this technology can be very serious. For example, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission has warned that cheaters can now copy a person’s voice to pretend to be a family member and trick people into sending money. In schools, some teens have already been caught creating and sharing fake images of classmates using AI tools. Despite these harmful uses, the technology is also being packaged as a consumer product. For instance, some smartphones now have advanced editing tools that can change faces in photos or even remove people completely. Not everyone thinks public access to AI will make misinformation worse. Some say there has always been more online content than people can handle. Yet this perspective is hardly comforting. Trust in institutions and experts is already at historic lows. As Hany Farid, a specialist in investigating digital evidence, observes: “If you don’t trust me and I don’t trust you, how do we respond to climate change, or have fair and open elections?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．他回答得吞吞吐吐，从某种意义上说，就是婉拒你的邀请。(equal) (汉译英) 73．这块布料轻薄又速干，最适合做运动装。(cloth) (汉译英) 74．水果采摘让游客身心放松，也帮助果农增加了至少三分之二的销量，一举两得。(by) (汉译英) 75．无论压力多大，这位天才运动员都能稳定发挥，在各大赛事中摘金夺银，为国争光。（However）（汉译英） VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76．Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是明启中学高三学生李华，学校英文杂志社正在举办“New Year, New Me”主题征文活动，邀请同学们分享自己的新年愿望与成长规划。你发现自己近半年存在一些健康方面 的问题，希望改变生活习惯做出调整。请你投稿一篇短文，内容必须包括： (1)描述你目前面临的健康问题(如睡眠不足、缺乏运动、用眼过度等); (2)分析该问题产生的主要原因； (3)你的新年决心及期待的效果。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
