They soon found Niblet had a special medical condition: a soft spot on his head, which is part of hydrocephalus (脑积水). This made small household accidents life-threatening. HES turned to UTC’s mechanical engineering professor Trevor Elliott for help. Dr. Samantha Blair from HES contacted the university, and the engineering department offered hope that day. Blair remembered the university’s 3D printing skills, which were key to making a protective cap for Niblet. Professor Elliott rushed to help after hearing about Niblet. “As soon as I saw his cute little face, I said, ‘We’ve got to help,’” he recalled. He asked Connor Mackey, a May graduate who led UTC’s team to win a NASA 3D Printing Award, to join, and Mackey agreed right away. To create the headgear (头部防护装备), Elliott got Justin Stephens from Volkswagen to scan Niblet’s head for a 3D image. Then Elliott and Mackey tried different designs: Mackey’s looked like a football helmet, while Elliott’s was more like a cap. After many times of changes, they met at HES on July 15 to fit Niblet with the gear. Luckily, Niblet quickly got used to Mackey’s design. Mackey was amazed by the result: “It’s crazy what you can do. Getting a scan and modeling around it was simple, but it’s cool to save a dog’s life with this process.” Elliott also felt proud: “Seeing him walk around with the helmet and knowing our solution will help him is great.” HES’s Sarah Callahan said fitting a dog with headgear was “unchartered territory (未知领域)” for them, but they hoped it would let Niblet live a long and happy life. HES’s head Caroline Smith praised everyone’s quick action: “In our work, happy endings aren’t always possible, so it’s nice to see people come together for an animal.” She added that the rescue needed lots of teamwork, and they were thankful UTC stepped in. Without the 3D - printed helmet, Niblet would have struggled to survive, but now, he has a chance for a good, long life. 4. What is the main reason Niblet needed a protective headgear? A. He needed comfort for himself. B. He had a serious disease which may ruin his life. C. He was too small and weak to walk on his own. D. He often fought with other animals at the Humane Educational Society. 5. Why did Dr. Samantha Blair contact the university? A. To get engineering tools. B. To borrow a protective cap. C. To ask for 3D printing help. D. To find an excellent graduate. 6. What does the passage imply about the rescue of Niblet? A. It was an easy task thanks to Professor Elliott’s efforts. B. Niblet’s condition was too serious to be improved by the helmet. C. Teamwork between different groups can solve difficult problems. D. The 3D - printed helmet was so expensive that HES almost gave up. 7. What is Caroline Smith’s attitude towards the 3D-printed helmet? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring. D. Confused. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小吉娃娃犬Niblet因患有脑积水需要防护头盔，HES向UTC的机械工程教授Trevor Elliott求助，在多方团队合作下，用3D打印技术为Niblet制作了头盔，使其有机会过上美好长寿的生活。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They soon found Niblet had a special medical condition: a soft spot on his head, which is part of hydrocephalus (脑积水). This made small household accidents life-threatening.(他们很快发现Niblet有一种特殊的身体状况：他头上有一个软点，这是脑积水的一部分。这使得小型的家庭事故都可能危及生命。)”可知，Niblet需要防护头盔的主要原因是它患有严重的疾病，这种疾病可能会危及它的生命。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Blair remembered the university’s 3D printing skills, which were key to making a protective cap for Niblet.(布莱尔想起了这所大学的3D打印技术，这是为Niblet制作防护帽的关键。)”可知，Samantha Blair博士联系大学是为了寻求3D打印方面的帮助。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She added that the rescue needed lots of teamwork, and they were thankful UTC stepped in.(她补充说，这次救援需要大量的团队合作，他们很感激UTC的介入。)”以及前文对各方合作制作头盔的描述可知，文章暗示了不同团队之间的合作可以解决难题。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“HES’s head Caroline Smith praised everyone’s quick action: ‘In our work, happy endings aren’t always possible, so it’s nice to see people come together for an animal.’(HES的负责人Caroline Smith赞扬了每个人的快速行动：‘在我们的工作中，圆满的结局并不总是可能的，所以看到人们为了一个动物而团结起来真是太好了。’)”和“Without the 3D-printed helmet, Niblet would have struggled to survive, but now, he has a chance for a good, long life.(如果没有那顶 3D 打印的头盔，Niblet 恐怕难以存活下来，但现在他有了一个能过上健康长寿生活的机会)”可知，Caroline Smith对3D打印头盔持乐观态度。故选B项。 C Where and when you use AI affects its water use greatly. A data center in cool Ireland might use little water for cooling, but one in Arizona in summer relies heavily on evaporative (蒸发的) cooling, which uses lots of water in hot, dry air. Winter use can be half of summer use, and heat waves make cooling systems work harder. New technologies, like Microsoft’s zero- water cooling design, can cut water use, but they’ re not common yet because they’ re costly and hard to install in existing centers. The AI model itself also matters. Some models use 70 times more energy and water than efficient ones. For example, a medium-length GPT-5 response uses about 19.3 watt-hours (瓦时) of energy, while GPT-4 uses just 1.75 watt-hours for a similar length. You can calculate an AI’s water footprint easily: find the model’s energy use, multiply by a water factor, and get the result. A GPT-4 response might use only 2.3 to 3.5 milliliters, while GPT-5 could use 25 to 39 milliliters. Putting these numbers in context helps. OpenAI gets 2.5 billion prompts (提示词) daily, which means if all were GPT-4, that’s about 8.8 million liters a day, and if all were GPT-5, it’s 97.5 million liters. Google’s Gemini uses just 0.26 milliliters per prompt, adding up to 650,000 liters daily. For comparison, Americans use 34 billion liters a day watering grasslands, so AI’s current use is smaller, but it’s growing. Understanding AI’s water use isn’t just for experts. It helps people see that AI’s impact is not fixed: optimizing models, using efficient cooling, and locating data centers wisely can all reduce water use. Balancing AI development with sustainability means knowing these hidden costs and pushing for better practices. 8. What can we infer about Microsoft’s zero- water cooling design from the first paragraph? A. It is used in most existing data centers. B. It can replace traditional cooling systems. C. It can greatly reduce the water used for cooling. D. It is very easy to install in all kinds of existing data centers. 9. Which of the following can be inferred about the water use mentioned in the passage? A. AI’s current daily water use is unbalanced now. B. Google’s Gemini leads to a small amount of water use. C. GPT-5’s water use would be more water-saving than using GPT-4. D. The water used by AI will go beyond watering grasslands in the future. 10. What does the underlined word “optimizing” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Designing. B. Improving. C. Changing. D. Deleting. 11. What is the main purpose of the author writing this passage? A. To encourage people to stop using AI. B. To call for balanced AI development and sustainability. C. To compare the water use of different AI models. D. To show that experts need to pay attention to AI’s water use. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出 AI 的用水量受数据中心位置、季节及模型效率影响显著，虽目前总量不大但在增长，需通过技术优化与合理选址实现可持续发展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“New technologies, like Microsoft’s zero- water cooling design, can cut water use, but they’ re not common yet because they’ re costly and hard to install in existing centers.( 像微软的零水冷却设计这样的新技术可以减少用水量，但它们目前还不常见，因为它们成本高昂且难以在现有的数据中心中安装。)”可推知，微软的零水冷却设计能减少用水量。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Google’s Gemini uses just 0.26 milliliters per prompt, adding up to 650,000 liters daily.( 谷歌的Gemini系统每次处理请求仅需 0.26 毫升水，每日用水总量可达 65 万升。)”可知，谷歌的 Gemini每次只使用0.26毫升，即使用谷歌的 Gemini消耗较少的用水量。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中“It helps people see that AI’s impact is not fixed: optimizing models, using efficient cooling, and locating data centers wisely can all reduce water use.( 它能让人们明白，人工智能的影响并非是固定的：optimizing模型、采用高效的冷却技术以及明智地选址数据中心都能减少用水量。)”，可知“optimizing models”与“using efficient cooling”、“locating data centers wisely”并列，均为能减少A1用水的举措，结合语境可推测“optimizing”意为“优化，改进”，和B选项Improving“改进”意思相近。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“Balancing AI development with sustainability means knowing these hidden costs and pushing for better practices.(在推进人工智能发展的同时兼顾可持续性，意味着要了解这些潜在成本，并努力推行更优的实践方式。)”可知，文章先介绍影响AI用水的多种因素，再通过数据对比展示不同情况下的用水量，最后指出了解A1用水情况的意义及减少用水的方法，强调要平衡AI发展与可持续性，由此可知，作者撰写这篇文章的主要目的是呼吁实现人工智能的平衡发展与可持续性。故选B项。 D Readers on TikTok and Instagram are making reading more visible than ever with creative and complex marginalia (旁注). These markups can be delicate, with notes that nearly fill full pages and that are color- matched with the book’s cover. The rise of such bookish note- taking has caused a debate: are marginalia a bad habit or a benefit? Marginalia have a long history. Leonardo da Vinci famously wrote thoughts about gravity (重力) years before Galileo Galilei published his idea on- the subject. Famous writers like Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe are known for their marginalia, making their biographers both happy and at a loss. Neuroscientists have studied the cognitive (认知的) effects of writing by hand. A study in Frontiers in Psychology found handwriting helps people remember and understand more of what they read. Maryanne Wolf, an expert from UCLA, said marginalia lets readers go beyond the author’s wisdom to find their own ideas. As Caitlin Welsh wrote in The Guardian, young people love marginalia. Online marginalia styles are different from those in schools, but experts say any style is fine if it helps the reader. For example, highlighting a favorite character’s dialogue can help understand the character better. In the Journal of Language Learning and Teaching, foreign language professor Demet Yayli of Pamukkale University in Turkey, explained that in writing workshops, especially for fiction writing, deep reading, which includes marginalia, is critical in helping students form their own learner autonomy (自主权). I’ve loved marginalia when reading books as an adult. Growing up, I watched Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls love Jess Mariano’s marginalia, which made me want to be a well- read person. If young people want to match their bookmarks and pens to their books’ covers, that’s great. Marginalia doesn’t hurt anyone— let them go on eating their own cakes, even if they make the pages dirty. 12. What makes the debate about marginalia start? A. Scientists show the benefits of handwriting. B. Readers on the Internet use visible marginalia. C. Leonardo da Vinci had the habit of writing marginalia. D. The different opinions between young people and experts. 13 What can we infer from the information about Demet Yayli’s explanation? A. Deep reading helps the magazine do some deep research. B. Marginalia is stylish for students to learn foreign languages. C. Marginalia plays an important role in learning fiction writing. D. Writing workshops for fiction writings focus on teaching students. 14. What writing technique does the author mainly use in the last paragraph? A. By sharing a short personal story. B. By using figures to support an idea. C. By making a chart to explain a point. D. By showing differences between two things. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Marginalia B. Different Marginalia Styles C. How to Make Beautiful Marginalia D. Marginalia: A Bad Habit or a Beneficial Practice 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章指出网络读者流行在书中做创意旁注，引发是否有益的讨论。作者结合历史案例、科学研究及个人经历，认为旁注有助于理解记忆和培养独立思考，应被支持。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“Readers on TikTok and Instagram are making reading more visible than ever with creative and complex marginalia (旁注).( 在 TikTok 和 Instagram 上的读者们通过富有创意且复杂的旁注让阅读变得更加引人注目。)”以及第三句“The rise of such bookish note-taking has caused a debate; are marginalia a bad habit or a benefit?( 这种书中的笔记记录方式的兴起引发了争论：这些旁注是不良习惯还是有益之举？)”可知是网络上的读者用具有创意且复杂的旁注让阅读更可视化这一情况引发了关于旁注的争论。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段第三句“In the Journal of Language Learning and Teaching, foreign language professor Demet Yayli of Pamukkale University in Turkey, explained that in writing workshops, especially for fiction writing, deep reading, which includes marginalia, is critical in helping students form their own learner autonomy (自主权).( 在《语言学习与教学杂志》上，土耳其帕穆克凯勒大学的外语教授德米特·耶亚利解释说，在写作工作坊中，尤其是针对小说写作的课程中，深度阅读（包括做旁注）对于帮助学生形成自己的学习自主性至关重要。)”可推断出对于学习小说创作的学生来说，包含旁注的深度阅读对培养他们自身的学习自主权很重要，即旁注在其中发挥重要作用。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Growing up, I watched Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls love Jess Mariano’s marginalia, which made me want to be a well- read person.( 在成长过程中，我看过《吉尔莫女孩》里的罗里·吉尔摩喜欢杰斯·马里亚诺的旁注，这让我立志成为一个博学的人。)”可知，作者讲述了自己成长过程中，因观看《吉尔莫女孩》中角色喜爱旁注的情节，从而产生想成为博览群书之人的个人经历，即作者运用了“分享个人故事”的方式。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇就提出关于旁注是坏习惯还是有益做法的争论，随后从旁注的历史、科学依据、专家观点、年轻人的喜好及作者自身经历等方面围绕这一争论展开，核心是探讨旁注的性质。选项D“旁注：坏习惯还是有益做法？”能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is it possible to have a job you love?

If you’re unsure where to start, consider taking personality tests to understand your strengths better. This self-reflection will help narrow your focus and guide your job search in the right direction. Ask for a second opinion. Not all jobs are created equal. Some types of jobs offer flexibility, while others provide more financial stability. Conduct informational interviews with professionals in your desired field to gain insight into different roles. If you’re feeling stuck, seeking career advice from a mentor (导师) can be invaluable. You’re in charge here, but asking for an objective second opinion helps. Asking close friends or family for their opinions. ___18___ Consider your daily tasks. What would a typical work day look like for you in some of the jobs you’re thinking of? Take a look at job descriptions and consider how you’d enjoy the daily tasks and responsibilities. Write down what excites you about the job and what doesn’t seem very attractive. ___19___ You might find out that you’d hate this job, but that’s OK. It all helps you on your journey to find a job you love. ___20___ To successfully pursue your dream career, you need the right skills. Take time to honestly evaluate what you’re good at and where you need improvement. If you’re entering a new career, consider gaining experience through entry-level positions. Then consider taking courses or workshops to build specific skills your dream role requires, and don’t underestimate the importance of soft skills like communication and teamwork. A. Update your skills. B. Assess your current skillset. C. What fills you with passion and purpose? D. You might be unsure of where to begin or what to look for. E. If you aren’t a people person, a job title in sales might not be for you. F. This uncertainty can make the already hard job hunt even more stressful. G.

I had grown accustomed to her repetitive stories and filling in the missing words in her sentences. She began to forget things day after day. One night she was found wandering the hospital hallways, and the doctor told me she was entering the middle stages of Alzheimer’s. Sitting with the doctor in a hospital conference room, I listened as he gently explained that unlike stroke patients, those with Alzheimer’s cannot relearn lost memories. I thought I got this, but in the months that followed, I constantly had to fight the urge to say, “I already told you that.” My mother had lived with my family since retiring — we shared a deep friendship, and she led an independent life full of activities. Overnight, though, the single word “Alzheimer’s” made our family’s world upside down. The happy, active days faded from my mind as I felt trapped by the challenges I imagined ahead. In the process of hearing and accepting the diagnosis, my focus shifted from “being with Mom” to “taking care of Mom.” Each day brought new discoveries: what she still knew, and what she’d forgotten. My heart sank the day I saw her standing in front of the microwave with a frozen dinner, unable to read the directions— from then on, I knew someone had to stay with her while I worked, just to make sure she ate. Slowly, though, I saw silver linings in the memory loss. Without past memories, Mom was free from life’s “baggage” — she let go of some of her once-hated relationship; she went to see the hair-dresser on Tuesdays instead of Saturdays, since every day felt like a new piece of paper. I let go of rigid ideas about “taking care of her” and we became companions. Even old habits changed: she forgot her back pain and started walking up and down our street. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答；3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 One of my most treasured memories is taking her to an outdoor band concert ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Mom’s happy face, suddenly I understood a lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One of my most treasured memories is taking her to an outdoor band concert. By then, she could barely hold a conversation — but as soon as the music started, she sang along to nearly every song. She cheered up with other audiences like a crazy fan. She waved excitedly to the band members on the stage. Her eyes were bright with joy. For 45 minutes, I felt that deep inside her, there was still a bridge to the world. I’ll never forget the joy on her face. Alzheimer’s taught me to appreciate Mom, not just care for her. Seeing Mom’s happy face, suddenly I understood a lot. It taught me that love outlives memory, for memory might be lost but love, especially true love, can exist. To “appreciate” Mom wasn’t about sticking to who she once was, but leaning into who she still was — bright, alive, and mine — even in the fragments. That concert wasn’t just a memory; it was a lesson; the most precious bonds aren’t written in what we remember, but in what we choose to hold close, even when time tries to take it all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以 “我” 陪伴患阿尔茨海默病母亲的经历为线索展开，讲述了母亲被确诊患病后，家庭生活被彻底改变，“我” 的心态从最初的焦虑、执着于 “照顾母亲”，逐渐转变为放下刻板想法，与母亲成为同伴的过程。母亲在病症影响下忘却了过往的烦恼与旧习惯，反而收获了简单的快乐。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我最珍贵的记忆之一是带她去参加一场户外乐队音乐会。”可知，第一段可描写母亲在音乐会上的表现 —— 尽管她几乎无法正常交谈，却能跟着音乐哼唱、像粉丝一样欢呼雀跃，“我”看到母亲快乐模样时的内心触动，感受到母亲与世界仍有联结。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到妈妈开心的脸，我突然明白了很多。”可知，第二段可描写“我”从母亲的快乐中获得的感悟，点明“爱比记忆更长久”的核心观点，强调陪伴的意义不在于执着于母亲过去的样子，而在于珍惜她当下的状态，升华文章主题。 2.续写线索： 带母亲参加户外音乐会——母亲虽难以交谈，却跟着音乐哼唱欢呼——“我” 感受到母亲与世界的联结——“我”看到母亲笑脸后获得感悟——领悟爱超越记忆 —— 珍惜与母亲当下的陪伴 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 进行对话：hold a conversation/engage in a conversation ② 跟着哼唱：sing along to/hum along with ③ 欢呼：cheer up/shout with joy 情绪类 ① 疯狂的：crazy/mad ②喜悦：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】For 45 minutes, I felt that deep inside her, there was still a bridge to the world.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】That concert wasn’t just a memory; it was a lesson; the most precious bonds aren’t written in what we remember, but in what we choose to hold close, even when time tries to take it all.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年普通高等学校招生统一考试 英语·模拟卷（二） 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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 A month ago, a 2.5-pound Chihuahua named Niblet won the hearts of the Humane Educational Society (HES) staff. They soon found Niblet had a special medical condition: a soft spot on his head, which is part of hydrocephalus (脑积水). This made small household accidents life-threatening. HES turned to UTC’s mechanical engineering professor Trevor Elliott for help. Dr. Samantha Blair from HES contacted the university, and the engineering department offered hope that day. Blair remembered the university’s 3D printing skills, which were key to making a protective cap for Niblet. Professor Elliott rushed to help after hearing about Niblet. “As soon as I saw his cute little face, I said, ‘We’ve got to help,’” he recalled. He asked Connor Mackey, a May graduate who led UTC’s team to win a NASA 3D Printing Award, to join, and Mackey agreed right away. To create the headgear (头部防护装备), Elliott got Justin Stephens from Volkswagen to scan Niblet’s head for a 3D image. Then Elliott and Mackey tried different designs: Mackey’s looked like a football helmet, while Elliott’s was more like a cap. After many times of changes, they met at HES on July 15 to fit Niblet with the gear. Luckily, Niblet quickly got used to Mackey’s design. Mackey was amazed by the result: “It’s crazy what you can do. Getting a scan and modeling around it was simple, but it’s cool to save a dog’s life with this process.” Elliott also felt proud: “Seeing him walk around with the helmet and knowing our solution will help him is great.” HES’s Sarah Callahan said fitting a dog with headgear was “unchartered territory (未知领域)” for them, but they hoped it would let Niblet live a long and happy life. HES’s head Caroline Smith praised everyone’s quick action: “In our work, happy endings aren’t always possible, so it’s nice to see people come together for an animal.” She added that the rescue needed lots of teamwork, and they were thankful UTC stepped in. Without the 3D - printed helmet, Niblet would have struggled to survive, but now, he has a chance for a good, long life. 4. What is the main reason Niblet needed a protective headgear? A. He needed comfort for himself. B. He had a serious disease which may ruin his life. C. He was too small and weak to walk on his own. D. He often fought with other animals at the Humane Educational Society. 5. Why did Dr. Samantha Blair contact the university? A. To get engineering tools. B. To borrow a protective cap. C. To ask for 3D printing help. D. To find an excellent graduate. 6 What does the passage imply about the rescue of Niblet? A. It was an easy task thanks to Professor Elliott’s efforts. B. Niblet’s condition was too serious to be improved by the helmet. C. Teamwork between different groups can solve difficult problems. D. The 3D - printed helmet was so expensive that HES almost gave up. 7. What is Caroline Smith’s attitude towards the 3D-printed helmet? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring. D. Confused. C Where and when you use AI affects its water use greatly. A data center in cool Ireland might use little water for cooling, but one in Arizona in summer relies heavily on evaporative (蒸发的) cooling, which uses lots of water in hot, dry air. Winter use can be half of summer use, and heat waves make cooling systems work harder. New technologies, like Microsoft’s zero- water cooling design, can cut water use, but they’ re not common yet because they’ re costly and hard to install in existing centers. The AI model itself also matters. Some models use 70 times more energy and water than efficient ones. For example, a medium-length GPT-5 response uses about 19.3 watt-hours (瓦时) of energy, while GPT-4 uses just 1.75 watt-hours for a similar length. You can calculate an AI’s water footprint easily: find the model’s energy use, multiply by a water factor, and get the result. A GPT-4 response might use only 2.3 to 3.5 milliliters, while GPT-5 could use 25 to 39 milliliters. Putting these numbers in context helps. OpenAI gets 2.5 billion prompts (提示词) daily, which means if all were GPT-4, that’s about 8.8 million liters a day, and if all were GPT-5, it’s 97.5 million liters. Google’s Gemini uses just 0.26 milliliters per prompt, adding up to 650,000 liters daily. For comparison, Americans use 34 billion liters a day watering grasslands, so AI’s current use is smaller, but it’s growing. Understanding AI’s water use isn’t just for experts.

D Readers on TikTok and Instagram are making reading more visible than ever with creative and complex marginalia (旁注). These markups can be delicate, with notes that nearly fill full pages and that are color- matched with the book’s cover. The rise of such bookish note- taking has caused a debate: are marginalia a bad habit or a benefit? Marginalia have a long history. Leonardo da Vinci famously wrote thoughts about gravity (重力) years before Galileo Galilei published his idea on- the subject. Famous writers like Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe are known for their marginalia, making their biographers both happy and at a loss. Neuroscientists have studied the cognitive (认知的) effects of writing by hand. A study in Frontiers in Psychology found handwriting helps people remember and understand more of what they read. Maryanne Wolf, an expert from UCLA, said marginalia lets readers go beyond the author’s wisdom to find their own ideas. As Caitlin Welsh wrote in The Guardian, young people love marginalia. Online marginalia styles are different from those in schools, but experts say any style is fine if it helps the reader. For example, highlighting a favorite character’s dialogue can help understand the character better. In the Journal of Language Learning and Teaching, foreign language professor Demet Yayli of Pamukkale University in Turkey, explained that in writing workshops, especially for fiction writing, deep reading, which includes marginalia, is critical in helping students form their own learner autonomy (自主权). I’ve loved marginalia when reading books as an adult. Growing up, I watched Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls love Jess Mariano’s marginalia, which made me want to be a well- read person. If young people want to match their bookmarks and pens to their books’ covers, that’s great. Marginalia doesn’t hurt anyone— let them go on eating their own cakes, even if they make the pages dirty. 12. What makes the debate about marginalia start? A. Scientists show the benefits of handwriting. B. Readers on the Internet use visible marginalia. C. Leonardo da Vinci had the habit of writing marginalia. D. The different opinions between young people and experts. 13. What can we infer from the information about Demet Yayli’s explanation? A. Deep reading helps the magazine do some deep research. B. Marginalia is stylish for students to learn foreign languages. C. Marginalia plays an important role in learning fiction writing. D. Writing workshops for fiction writings focus on teaching students. 14. What writing technique does the author mainly use in the last paragraph? A. By sharing a short personal story. B. By using figures to support an idea. C. By making a chart to explain a point. D. By showing differences between two things. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Marginalia B. Different Marginalia Styles C. How to Make Beautiful Marginalia D. Marginalia: A Bad Habit or a Beneficial Practice 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。 Is it possible to have a job you love? Absolutely.

I had grown accustomed to her repetitive stories and filling in the missing words in her sentences. She began to forget things day after day. One night, she was found wandering the hospital hallways, and the doctor told me she was entering the middle stages of Alzheimer’s. Sitting with the doctor in a hospital conference room I listened as he gently explained that unlike stroke patients, those with Alzheimer’s cannot relearn lost memories. I thought I got this, but in the months that followed, I constantly had to fight the urge to say, “I already told you that.” My mother had lived with my family since retiring — we shared a deep friendship, and she led an independent life full of activities. Overnight, though, the single word “Alzheimer’s” made our family’s world upside down. The happy, active days faded from my mind as I felt trapped by the challenges I imagined ahead. In the process of hearing and accepting the diagnosis, my focus shifted from “being with Mom” to “taking care of Mom.” Each day brought new discoveries: what she still knew, and what she’d forgotten. My heart sank the day I saw her standing in front of the microwave with a frozen dinner, unable to read the directions— from then on, I knew someone had to stay with her while I worked, just to make sure she ate. Slowly, though, I saw silver linings in the memory loss. Without past memories, Mom was free from life’s “baggage” — she let go of some of her once-hated relationship; she went to see the hair-dresser on Tuesdays instead of Saturdays, since every day felt like a new piece of paper. I let go of rigid ideas about “taking care of her” and we became companions. Even old habits changed: she forgot her back pain and started walking up and down our street. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答；3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 One of my most treasured memories is taking her to an outdoor band concert. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Mom’s happy face, suddenly I understood a lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
