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 【来源】上海市徐汇区上海中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题 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. 1．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. 2．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. 3．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. 4．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. B 【来源】上海市复旦大学附属中学2025-2026学年高三上学期11月期中英语试题 Six Best Places for ________ in Paris Le Closerie des LilasThis restaurant/cafe/brasserie is a true literary location. On the terrace, F. Scott Fitzgerald apparently first revealed the manuscript for The Great Gatsby to Ernest Hemingway. This spot in Montparnasse was also frequented by Paul Verlaine, Max Jacob and Henry Miller, among others. 171 Boulevard du Montparnasse Les Deux MagotsLocated in Saint-Germain-des-Pres on the Left Bank, Les Deux Magotx gets a mention in Nabokov's novel Lolita. It was also frequented by such heavyweights as Albert Gamus, James Joyce, Bertolt Brecht and Ernest Hemingway. Even Julia Child liked the food enough to plant herself at one of its famed outdoor tables. Today, tables are occupied by tourists instead of typists, but it's worth paying a few euros for a coffee here. 6 Place Saint-Germain Des Pres Pere Lachaise CemeteryPerhaps the world's most famous resting place, Pere Lachaise is the home of Marcel Proust and Oscar Wilde, among scores of other famous people buried here. Singer and 'poet' Jim Morrison is, of course, famously six feet under in this verdant (郁郁葱葱的), ambient cemetery as well. 8 Boulevard de Menilmontant PolidorErnest Hemingway, Paul Verlaine, James Joyce, Victor Hugo, Henry Miller, Arthur Rimbaud and Jack Kerouac all enjoyed classic French dishes like steak, beef Bourguignon, steak tartare, escargot, and foie gras at this sixth-arrondissement restaurant. In the 2011 Woody Allen film, Midnight in Paris, the protagonist meets Hemingway and Salvador Dali here. 41 Rue Monsieur Le Prince Bar HemingwayF. Scott Fitzgerald used to put 'em back at this fashionable and expensive bar in the Ritz. Musician Cole Porter would spend hours nursing cocktails at the bar and even composed a tune or two here. And, of course, the bar's namesake. Mr Ernest Hemingway, was a regular and even likened the drinking space to heaven. He also mentions the bar in The Sun Also Rises. 15 Place Vendome Shakespeare & CompanySince 1951, this Left Bank bookshop has been a central meeting point for the city's English-language lovers of great literature. It's also attracted many legendary writers as well. Williams Burroughs, Anais Nin, James Baldwin, Henry Miller, Paul Auster, Martin Amis and Zadie Smith, among countless others, have shopped for books or participated in literary events here. 37 Rue de la Bucherie 5．Your friend Jenny plans to go to Paris for travelling and she is a big fan of the famous movie director Woody Allen. Which place would you recommend that she visit? A．171 Boulevard du Montparnasse B．41 Rue Monsieur Le Prince C．8 Boulevard de Menilmontant D．37 Rue de la Bucherie 6．Earnest Hemingway was a regular to the following places except ________. A．Pere Lachasise Cemetery B．Les Deux Magots C．Bar Hemingway D．Polidor 7．Which of the following phrases best complete the title? A．Literature Lovers B．Experienced Tourists C．Cuisine Enthusiasts D．History Researchers C 【来源】上海市闵行区七宝中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中考试英语试卷 Readers on social media are showing the beauty of reading in new ways through creative annotations (注解), called marginalia. These annotations can be detailed, sometimes covering whole pages and matching the book’s colors. The rise of this kind of note-taking has led to debate: is marginalia a bad habit or a helpful activity? Marginalia have a long history. Leonardo da Vinci once wrote notes about gravity in the margins of his notebooks long before Galileo published his famous work on the topic. Later, writers like Samuel Beckett and Edgar Allan Poe also filled their books with notes, which delighted and challenged their biographers (传记作者). Just last year Ann Patchett, a popular modern writer, told Literary Hub about the joys of reading her own books and annotating patterns she never before noticed. She created a unique edition of Tom Lake for dedicated readers, in which she included her own annotations on her own writing style. The Patchett-celebration worked: The special edition was sold at an auction (拍卖会) in 2020 to support independent bookstores, and it inspired the writer to add her own notes to her favorite book, Bel Canto. Alongside this evolution of margin additions, scientists have been researching the effects of writing, both on paper and on screen. For instance, a study of electrical activity in the brain published in Frontiers in Psychology found that handwriting itself helps a person remember and understand more about what they’ve read and written. Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California, Los Angeles, discussed the importance of annotating in 2022. In classic former-English-major fashion, she drew on Marcel Proust in explaining that deep reading allows us to “go beyond the wisdom of the author to discover our own.” In that sense, marginalia can help the annotator understand the material deeply enough to further develop their own interpretation of the text, she said. 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 annotations — is critical in helping students express their ideas and learn independently. As writer and editor Caitlin Welsh pointed out in an article covering the recent trend, the kids like annotating. Annotation styles online seem to differ widely from the annotations expected in academia. As long as annotating serves the reader a purpose, any style is fine, experts say. Highlighting every piece of dialogue from your favorite character may seem unreasonable to an outsider, but that might help someone understand why they like that character or how the writer developed the character’s story. 8．According to the passage, what do Leonardo da Vinci, Samuel Beckett, and Edgar Allan Poe have in common? A．They were all mentioned in other writers’ books. B．They were all studied closely by later biographers. C．They all filled their own works with their reflections. D．They all touched on scientific discoveries in their works. 9．What did Patchett add to her Tom Lake? A．Comments about the writing style of Bel Canto. B．New characters to make the story more detailed. C．Personal notes explaining how she crafted the book. D．A guide to help dedicated readers understand the plot. 10．What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in paragraph 4? A．A distinct area of the brain is involved in handwriting. B．Annotation is not the only way to develop critical thinking. C．Readers rely on annotation to speed up their reading process. D．Reading and writing are closely connected in the process of learning. 11．What does the writer imply about online annotation? A．It follows the same rules used in academic notes. B．It helps readers connect with books in personal ways. C．It stops kids from building their own ideas while reading. D．It is mainly used to show off rather than to understand a book.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need. 【来源】上海市格致中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中英语试卷 How AI Will Help Predict Natural Disasters Beneath California lie faults—places where rocks slide past, over, or under one another. When they move at an alarming rate, the ground shakes violently, causing destructive earthquakes. Nothing can be done to stop them, but understanding where they are likely to happen and how powerful they may be means communities can prepare. 12 They employ seismometers (地震仪) to record seismic waves—a bit like music, with notes and rhythm changes that reveal what created them, where they lie, and how they behave. Because California is so geologically active, the region has massive amounts of data. 13   Many tiny, imperceptible quakes are difficult to spot, especially when their signals are similar to background noise from traffic. Inspired by machine-learning programs that can identify and categorize elements within images with unmatched accuracy, a researcher at Caltech applied a similar idea to seismology. He used algorithms (算法) to search for patterns of tiny quakes in seismic data and soon identified nearly two million hidden events from 2008 to 2017. This revealed a complex network of faults that previous studies had missed. Although early programs could only find quakes similar to those they had been trained on, newer self-learning systems can recognize novel events and make predictions about the future. 14 They are now used across California to spot slowly slow-moving earthquake faults invisible to traditional methods. 15 In areas at high risk of earthquakes like Tokyo, for instance, AI software analyzes images from cameras positioned around the city to recognize fires and building collapses and to alert authorities instantly. Such systems save precious time for search and rescue. While AI will not replace human scientists, it is becoming as ordinary—and as vital—as the seismometers themselves. A．AI may also improve earthquake early-warning systems. B．In some way, AI, trained with enough data, may one day take the place of human instincts. C．It is covered in so many seismometers that there is more data than human experts could reasonably handle. D．These machine-learning programs are still evolving and have gone beyond detecting quiet quakes and hidden faults. E．To reduce the effects of future disasters, researchers draw maps of the underworld, charting every fault and monitoring its behavior. F．Such programs as mentioned are still being tested for real-life applications. 第二套 Section A Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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 【来源】上海市七宝中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 One day, I was already old, in the entrance of a public place a man came up to me. He introduced himself and said, “I’ve known you for years. Everyone says you were beautiful when you were young, but I want to tell you I think you’re more beautiful now than then. Rather than your face as a young woman, I prefer your face as it is now. Ravaged.” I often think of the image only I can see now, and of which I’ve never spoken. It’s always there, in the same silence, amazing. It’s the only image of myself I like, the only one in which I recognize myself, in which I delight. Very early in my life it was too late. It was already too late when I was eighteen. Between eighteen and twenty-five my face took off in a new direction. I grew old at eighteen. I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone, I’ve never asked. But I believe I’ve heard of the way time can suddenly accelerate on people when they’re going through even the most youthful and high esteemed stages of life. My aging was very sudden. I saw it spread over my features one by one, changing the relationship between them, making the eyes larger, the expression sadder, the mouth more final, leaving great creases in the forehead. But instead of being dismayed I watched this process with the same sort of interest I might have taken in the reading of a book. And I knew I was right, that one day it would slow down and take its normal course. The people who knew me at seventeen, when I went to France, were surprised when they saw me again two years later, at nineteen. And I’ve kept it ever since, the new face I had then. It has been my face. It’s got older still, of course, but less, comparatively, than it would otherwise have done. It’s scored with deep, dry wrinkles, the skin is cracked. But my face hasn’t collapsed, as some with fine features have done. It’s kept the same contours, but its substance has been laid waste. I have a face laid waste. So, I’m fifteen and a half. It’s on a ferry crossing the Mekong River. The image lasts all the way across. I’m fifteen and a half, there are no seasons in that part of the world, we have just the one season, hot, monotonous, we’re in the long hot girdle of the earth, with no spring, no renewal.Quoted from Marguerite Duras’s The Lover (P.S. For the Chinese translation of The Lover, Wang Daoqian’s version is highly recommended.) 1．What does the underlined word “Ravaged” probably mean in the passage? A．Tender and smooth. B．Damaged and worn. C．Bright and charming. D．Vigorous and tanned. 2．What can we learn about the author’s attitude towards her aging from the passage? A．She felt rather depressed and tried to hide it. B．She complained about the unfairness of time. C．She embraced it and even had a curiosity about it. D．She was indifferent and didn’t care about her appearance. 3．What does “no spring, no renewal” in the last paragraph symbolize? A．The unchanging natural environment of the Mekong River area. B．The difficulty of adapting herself to hot and monotonous climates. C．The author’s regret for not cherishing springtime in her youth. D．The author’s subtle feeling of lost vitality and new beginnings. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The author’s sudden aging experience and related memories. B．A man’s unexpected compliments on the author’s old appearance. C．The right attitude people should have towards their own aging. D．A memorable ferry trip on the Mekong River in the author’s youth. B 【来源】上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学2025-2026学年高三上学期第二次周测英语试题 Decoding Energy Labels When shopping for a large appliance, it’s natural to focus on the purchase price. But another important factor is how much the machine will add to your utility bills. Reading the EnergyGuide label closely could save you hundreds of dollars. Here’s what to look for. * Yellow numbers are circled. a．This shows how much energy in kilowatt hours the appliance uses in one year. For a washing machine, for example, this estimate is based on the average energy used per wash cycle multiplied by the number of cycles run per year. The label uses national averages — but electricity rates vary by location, so also look at the bulleted information below it to help you estimate your actual costs. b．If you have a natural gas appliance, refer to this number. c．This scale helps you compare the model you’re considering to others of the same type. The closer the arrow is to the left, the more energy efficient(and cost-efficient) the appliance is. d．This is the approximate amount you’ll pay for the model over one year. It takes into account both the amount of energy required to operate the appliance and to heat water, if that’s required. 5．This passage probably belongs to a magazine section called _________. A．Product Spotlight B．Tech Update C．Deal Finder D．Money Saver 6．The descriptions (a-d) in the box are in the wrong order. Which of the following shows their correct order from ① to ④? A．d-a-c-b B．b-c-a-d C．b-a-c-d D．a-d-b-d 7．Which of the following is true about the bullet points in the label? A．They reflect your actual usage or rates. B．They detail what the estimates are based on. C．LG Electronics isn’t certified with Energy Star. D．Yellow numbers means standard washing procedures. C 【来源】上海市南汇中学2025-2026学年高三上学期12月阶段练习英语试题 I struggle with letting go of things. Embarrassing situations that occurred decades ago still regularly pop into my mind and stress me out. I don’t seem to be able to move past them and forget them. Even small irrelevant things get me worked up. Can you suggest some techniques to move on and lead a calmer life? —A painful reader Since you said a lot of these are insignificant upon reflection, I’ll assume we’re not talking about big traumas (创伤) but the kinds of sour memories we all have. It feels unpleasant to be pulled back into the past, forced to relive those painful memories. So why do we keep going back? One possibility is that we feel not enough has changed. Time might have passed, but in the respects that matter, we still feel as though we’re right there. Still scared in the same ways those situations made us feel, still vulnerable to those same stressors, even uninsured against the same mistakes. If you feel as though a lot has changed since an indignity, the memory feels more like a postcard from somewhere distant. But if you feel the same in the ways that matter, an upsetting thing from the past can still seem threatening insofar as that version of us persists today. Or maybe we go back to these memories because there’s some unanswered question we keep trying to solve. Why did I say that? Why did they do that? If I’d done that differently, would this have changed? Maybe, more rarely, we go back because we’re bored. Sometimes if present-day life doesn’t quite feel stimulating enough we can go back to conflicts or hard choices from the past, because even though they were unpleasant, they somehow feel more real. Therapy can help figure out which it is for you. When the distressing thought comes knocking why does it seem worth opening the door? That would really help you tailor your strategies. The calm you’ll need if you’re trying to solve a question may not be the calm you need if you still feel vulnerable in those same ways. Well-meaning people might say you need closure, a way to tell a coherent (有条理的) story. Closure is great if you can get it, but I’m not convinced it’s essential. What concerns me is that trying to find narratively pleasing ways to transform painful memories ultimately makes our capacity to move on depend on whether we can make sense of those events. Coherence may be genuinely beyond our reach. Bad luck doesn’t make sense. People don’t always have a “why”. I think it’s less “I have to get closure” and more “I have to see this as past, over”. As you try to figure out what is captivating about these memories, it might help to try seeing them in past tense. Not solved, just over — not a source of new pain, not part of a pattern; an echo of hurts gone by. 8．According to the columnist, why do we keep going back to painful memories? A．(a) Becoming stronger over time; (b) Gaining closure; (c) Seeking excitement B．(a) Avoiding current problems; (b) Hoping to erase past; (c) Searching for luck C．(a) Developing new skills; (b) Rewriting the past; (c) Enjoying old conflicts D．(a) Still vulnerable as before; (b) Wondering “why”; (c) Feeling bored in present life 9．What concern does the author express about the idea of “closure”? A．Closure is unnecessary and irrelevant for individuals stuck in pain. B．Closure relies on making sense of events, which may be impossible. C．Closure can only be achieved through constructing a touching story. D．Closure is seen as more valuable than the ability to move forward. 10．Which of the following best summarizes the author’s advice? A．Painful memories must be carefully analyzed to gain wisdom. B．Forgetting the past is the only way to achieve peace eternally. C．Painful memories should be seen as finished events, not threats. D．One could resolve painful memories by rewriting his own past.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need. 【来源】上海市徐汇区上海中学2025-2026学年高三上学期练习四英语试题 Twilight of the Brands It’s a truism of business-book thinking that a company’s brand is its “most important asset,” more valuable than technology or patents or manufacturing prowess. But brands have never been more fragile. The reason is simple: consumers are supremely well informed and far more likely to investigate the real value of products than to rely on logos. Absolute Value, a new book by Itamar Simonson and Emanuel Rosen shows that, historically, the rise of brands was a response to an information-poor environment. 11 If a car was made by G. M., or a ketchup by Heinz, you assumed that it was pretty good. It was hard to figure out if a new product from an unfamiliar company was reliable or not, so brand loyalty was a way of reducing risk. Today, consumers can read much research about whatever they want to buy. This started back with Consumer Reports, which did objective studies of products. 12 It has given ordinary consumers easy access to expert reviews, user reviews, and detailed product data, in an array of categories. A recent study found that eighty per cent of consumers look at online reviews before making major purchases, and a host of studies have logged the strong influence those reviews have on the decisions people make. 13 An undesirable product can become a laughingstock (笑柄) in a matter of hours. In the old days, you might buy a Sony television set because you’d owned one before, or because you trusted the brand. Today, such considerations matter much less than reviews on Amazon and Engadget and CNET. As Simonson said, “each product now has to prove itself on its own.” It’s been argued that in a world where consumers are overwhelmed with information, the information will actually make brands more valuable. Indeed, the role a brand plays in people’s lives has become all the more important. But information overload is largely a myth. 14 And this has made customer loyalty pretty much a thing of the past. Only twenty-five per cent of American respondents in a recent study said that brand loyalty affected how they shopped. A．But what’s really weakened the power of brands is the Internet. B．For consumers this is ideal: heightened competition has raised quality and held down prices. C．When consumers had to rely on advertisements and their past experience with a company, brands served as a guarantee for quality. D．A large quantity of consumers fail to get a great deal of information efficiently and effectively. E．The rise of social media has sped up the trend to an astonishing degree. F．Most consumers figure out how to find what they’re looking for without spending huge amounts of time online. 6 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 题型综训08：阅读理解、六选四组合练（III） （满分：60分，推荐用时：60分钟） 第一套 Section A Directions: Read the following four passages.

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。 3．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。 4．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。 B 【来源】上海市复旦大学附属中学2025-2026学年高三上学期11月期中英语试题 Six Best Places for ________ in Paris Le Closerie des LilasThis restaurant/cafe/brasserie is a true literary location.

Singer and 'poet' Jim Morrison is, of course, famously six feet under in this verdant (郁郁葱葱的), ambient cemetery as well. 8 Boulevard de Menilmontant PolidorErnest Hemingway, Paul Verlaine, James Joyce, Victor Hugo, Henry Miller, Arthur Rimbaud and Jack Kerouac all enjoyed classic French dishes like steak, beef Bourguignon, steak tartare, escargot, and foie gras at this sixth-arrondissement restaurant. In the 2011 Woody Allen film, Midnight in Paris, the protagonist meets Hemingway and Salvador Dali here. 41 Rue Monsieur Le Prince Bar HemingwayF. Scott Fitzgerald used to put 'em back at this fashionable and expensive bar in the Ritz. Musician Cole Porter would spend hours nursing cocktails at the bar and even composed a tune or two here. And, of course, the bar's namesake. Mr Ernest Hemingway, was a regular and even likened the drinking space to heaven. He also mentions the bar in The Sun Also Rises. 15 Place Vendome Shakespeare & CompanySince 1951, this Left Bank bookshop has been a central meeting point for the city's English-language lovers of great literature. It's also attracted many legendary writers as well. Williams Burroughs, Anais Nin, James Baldwin, Henry Miller, Paul Auster, Martin Amis and Zadie Smith, among countless others, have shopped for books or participated in literary events here. 37 Rue de la Bucherie 5．Your friend Jenny plans to go to Paris for travelling and she is a big fan of the famous movie director Woody Allen.

These annotations can be detailed, sometimes covering whole pages and matching the book’s colors. The rise of this kind of note-taking has led to debate: is marginalia a bad habit or a helpful activity? Marginalia have a long history. Leonardo da Vinci once wrote notes about gravity in the margins of his notebooks long before Galileo published his famous work on the topic. Later, writers like Samuel Beckett and Edgar Allan Poe also filled their books with notes, which delighted and challenged their biographers (传记作者). Just last year Ann Patchett, a popular modern writer, told Literary Hub about the joys of reading her own books and annotating patterns she never before noticed. She created a unique edition of Tom Lake for dedicated readers, in which she included her own annotations on her own writing style. The Patchett-celebration worked: The special edition was sold at an auction (拍卖会) in 2020 to support independent bookstores, and it inspired the writer to add her own notes to her favorite book, Bel Canto. Alongside this evolution of margin additions, scientists have been researching the effects of writing, both on paper and on screen. For instance, a study of electrical activity in the brain published in Frontiers in Psychology found that handwriting itself helps a person remember and understand more about what they’ve read and written. Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California, Los Angeles, discussed the importance of annotating in 2022. In classic former-English-major fashion, she drew on Marcel Proust in explaining that deep reading allows us to “go beyond the wisdom of the author to discover our own.” In that sense, marginalia can help the annotator understand the material deeply enough to further develop their own interpretation of the text, she said. 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 annotations — is critical in helping students express their ideas and learn independently. As writer and editor Caitlin Welsh pointed out in an article covering the recent trend, the kids like annotating. Annotation styles online seem to differ widely from the annotations expected in academia. As long as annotating serves the reader a purpose, any style is fine, experts say. Highlighting every piece of dialogue from your favorite character may seem unreasonable to an outsider, but that might help someone understand why they like that character or how the writer developed the character’s story. 8．According to the passage, what do Leonardo da Vinci, Samuel Beckett, and Edgar Allan Poe have in common? A．They were all mentioned in other writers’ books. B．They were all studied closely by later biographers. C．They all filled their own works with their reflections. D．They all touched on scientific discoveries in their works. 9．What did Patchett add to her Tom Lake? A．Comments about the writing style of Bel Canto. B．New characters to make the story more detailed. C．Personal notes explaining how she crafted the book. D．A guide to help dedicated readers understand the plot. 10．What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in paragraph 4? A．A distinct area of the brain is involved in handwriting. B．Annotation is not the only way to develop critical thinking. C．Readers rely on annotation to speed up their reading process. D．Reading and writing are closely connected in the process of learning. 11．What does the writer imply about online annotation? A．It follows the same rules used in academic notes. B．It helps readers connect with books in personal ways. C．It stops kids from building their own ideas while reading. D．It is mainly used to show off rather than to understand a book. 【答案】8．C 9．C 10．D 11．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了社交平台读者用创意页边注解展现阅读之美，该方式历史悠久，作家也热衷，研究证实注解助深度阅读与学习，专家认为只要对读者有用，任何注解风格皆可。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Leonardo da Vinci once wrote notes about gravity in the margins of his notebooks long before Galileo published his famous work on the topic. Later, writers like Samuel Beckett and Edgar Allan Poe also filled their books with notes, which delighted and challenged their biographers (传记作者).(莱昂纳多·达·芬奇早在伽利略发表其关于重力的著名著作之前，就在自己的笔记页边空白处记录了有关重力的内容。后来，像塞缪尔·贝克特和埃德加·爱伦·坡这样的作家也在他们的著作中添加了相关笔记，这些笔记既让他们的传记作者感到欣喜，也给他们带来了挑战)”知，他们共性是都在自己作品里写下思考感悟，故选C。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“She created a unique edition of Tom Lake for dedicated readers, in which she included her own annotations on her own writing style.(她专为忠实读者推出了《汤姆湖》特别版，其中收录了她对自身写作风格的亲笔注解)”可知，帕切特为她的《汤姆湖》一书增添了个人笔记，阐述她是如何创作这本书的。故选C。 10．推理判断题。根据第四段“For instance, a study of electrical activity in the brain published in Frontiers in Psychology found that handwriting itself helps a person remember and understand more about what they’ve read and written.(例如，发表在《心理学前沿》杂志上的一项关于大脑电活动的研究发现，书写本身能够帮助人们更好地记住和理解他们所阅读和所写的材料)”可知，阅读和写作在学习过程中是紧密相关的。故选D。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“As long as annotating serves the reader a purpose, any style is fine, experts say. Highlighting every piece of dialogue from your favorite character may seem unreasonable to an outsider, but that might help someone understand why they like that character or how the writer developed the character’s story.(专家们表示，只要注释能为读者服务，任何方式都是可以接受的。比如，将你最喜欢的角色的每一句台词都标出来，对于外人来说可能显得有些不合理，但这或许能帮助某些人理解他们为何喜欢那个角色，或者作者是如何展开这个角色的故事的)”可知，作者认为在线注释有助于读者以个性化的方式与书籍产生联系。故选B。 Section B Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. 【来源】上海市格致中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中英语试卷 How AI Will Help Predict Natural Disasters Beneath California lie faults—places where rocks slide past, over, or under one another. When they move at an alarming rate, the ground shakes violently, causing destructive earthquakes. Nothing can be done to stop them, but understanding where they are likely to happen and how powerful they may be means communities can prepare. 12 They employ seismometers (地震仪) to record seismic waves—a bit like music, with notes and rhythm changes that reveal what created them, where they lie, and how they behave. Because California is so geologically active, the region has massive amounts of data. 13   Many tiny, imperceptible quakes are difficult to spot, especially when their signals are similar to background noise from traffic. Inspired by machine-learning programs that can identify and categorize elements within images with unmatched accuracy, a researcher at Caltech applied a similar idea to seismology. He used algorithms (算法) to search for patterns of tiny quakes in seismic data and soon identified nearly two million hidden events from 2008 to 2017. This revealed a complex network of faults that previous studies had missed. Although early programs could only find quakes similar to those they had been trained on, newer self-learning systems can recognize novel events and make predictions about the future. 14 They are now used across California to spot slowly slow-moving earthquake faults invisible to traditional methods. 15 In areas at high risk of earthquakes like Tokyo, for instance, AI software analyzes images from cameras positioned around the city to recognize fires and building collapses and to alert authorities instantly. Such systems save precious time for search and rescue. While AI will not replace human scientists, it is becoming as ordinary—and as vital—as the seismometers themselves. A．AI may also improve earthquake early-warning systems. B．In some way, AI, trained with enough data, may one day take the place of human instincts. C．It is covered in so many seismometers that there is more data than human experts could reasonably handle. D．These machine-learning programs are still evolving and have gone beyond detecting quiet quakes and hidden faults. E．To reduce the effects of future disasters, researchers draw maps of the underworld, charting every fault and monitoring its behavior. F．Such programs as mentioned are still being tested for real-life applications. 【答案】12．E 13．C 14．D 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕人工智能（AI）在自然灾害预测中的应用展开，重点介绍了AI如何助力地震预测——通过分析地震数据识别隐藏地震和断层、突破传统方法的局限，还提及AI在地震预警系统中的潜在作用，强调其成为辅助科研人员的重要工具。 12．根据下文“They employ seismometers (地震仪) to record seismic waves—a bit like music, with notes and rhythm changes that reveal what created them, where they lie, and how they behave. (他们使用地震仪记录地震波——有点像音乐，其音符和节奏变化能揭示地震波的成因、位置和运动方式。)”可知，下文的“They”指代前文提到的某个主体，且该主体在通过地震仪开展与地震相关的研究。E选项“To reduce the effects of future disasters, researchers draw maps of the underworld, charting every fault and monitoring its behavior. (为了减少未来灾害的影响，研究人员绘制地下地图，记录每一条断层并监测其活动。)”中的“researchers”恰好对应下文的“They”，且“监测断层活动”与下文“使用地震仪记录地震波”形成逻辑衔接，说明研究人员的具体研究手段，符合语境。故选E项。 13．根据上文“Because California is so geologically active, the region has massive amounts of data. (由于加利福尼亚地质活动频繁，该地区拥有海量数据。)”可知，前文强调加州数据量大，此空应进一步解释数据量大的具体情况或带来的影响。C选项“It is covered in so many seismometers that there is more data than human experts could reasonably handle. (该地区布满了众多地震仪，产生的数据量超出了人类专家的合理处理能力。)”既解释了数据量大的原因（地震仪多），又指出了数据处理的难题，为下文引入AI解决数据处理问题做铺垫，衔接自然。故选C项。 14．根据上文“Although early programs could only find quakes similar to those they had been trained on, newer self-learning systems can recognize novel events and make predictions about the future. (尽管早期程序只能识别与训练数据相似的地震，但更新的自学习系统能够识别新事件并进行未来预测。)”可知，此处强调AI系统的进化与功能提升，空后“They are now used across California to spot slowly slow-moving earthquake faults invisible to traditional methods. (它们现在在加利福尼亚州被广泛用于探测传统方法无法发现的缓慢移动的地震断层。)”进一步说明其当前的应用场景。D选项“These machine-learning programs are still evolving and have gone beyond detecting quiet quakes and hidden faults. (这些机器学习程序仍在不断发展，已经超越了探测微弱地震和隐藏断层的范畴。)”承上启下，既呼应前文“新系统的进步”，又通过“beyond detecting”引出下文更广泛的应用，符合逻辑。故选D项。 15．根据下文“In areas at high risk of earthquakes like Tokyo, for instance, AI software analyzes images from cameras positioned around the city to recognize fires and building collapses and to alert authorities instantly. (例如，在东京等地震高发地区，AI软件分析城市周围摄像头拍摄的图像，识别火灾和建筑物倒塌情况，并立即向当局发出警报。)”可知，本段介绍AI在地震预警、应急响应中的作用。A选项“AI may also improve earthquake early-warning systems. (AI还可能改进地震预警系统。)”作为本段主旨句，概括了下文核心内容，引出AI在预警方面的具体应用，符合语境。故选A项。 第二套 Section A Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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 【来源】上海市七宝中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 One day, I was already old, in the entrance of a public place a man came up to me. He introduced himself and said, “I’ve known you for years. Everyone says you were beautiful when you were young, but I want to tell you I think you’re more beautiful now than then. Rather than your face as a young woman, I prefer your face as it is now. Ravaged.” I often think of the image only I can see now, and of which I’ve never spoken. It’s always there, in the same silence, amazing. It’s the only image of myself I like, the only one in which I recognize myself, in which I delight. Very early in my life it was too late. It was already too late when I was eighteen. Between eighteen and twenty-five my face took off in a new direction. I grew old at eighteen. I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone, I’ve never asked. But I believe I’ve heard of the way time can suddenly accelerate on people when they’re going through even the most youthful and high esteemed stages of life. My aging was very sudden. I saw it spread over my features one by one, changing the relationship between them, making the eyes larger, the expression sadder, the mouth more final, leaving great creases in the forehead. But instead of being dismayed I watched this process with the same sort of interest I might have taken in the reading of a book. And I knew I was right, that one day it would slow down and take its normal course. The people who knew me at seventeen, when I went to France, were surprised when they saw me again two years later, at nineteen. And I’ve kept it ever since, the new face I had then. It has been my face. It’s got older still, of course, but less, comparatively, than it would otherwise have done. It’s scored with deep, dry wrinkles, the skin is cracked. But my face hasn’t collapsed, as some with fine features have done. It’s kept the same contours, but its substance has been laid waste. I have a face laid waste. So, I’m fifteen and a half. It’s on a ferry crossing the Mekong River. The image lasts all the way across. I’m fifteen and a half, there are no seasons in that part of the world, we have just the one season, hot, monotonous, we’re in the long hot girdle of the earth, with no spring, no renewal.Quoted from Marguerite Duras’s The Lover (P.S. For the Chinese translation of The Lover, Wang Daoqian’s version is highly recommended.) 1．What does the underlined word “Ravaged” probably mean in the passage? A．Tender and smooth. B．Damaged and worn. C．Bright and charming. D．Vigorous and tanned. 2．What can we learn about the author’s attitude towards her aging from the passage? A．She felt rather depressed and tried to hide it. B．She complained about the unfairness of time. C．She embraced it and even had a curiosity about it. D．She was indifferent and didn’t care about her appearance. 3．What does “no spring, no renewal” in the last paragraph symbolize? A．The unchanging natural environment of the Mekong River area. B．The difficulty of adapting herself to hot and monotonous climates. C．The author’s regret for not cherishing springtime in her youth. D．The author’s subtle feeling of lost vitality and new beginnings. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The author’s sudden aging experience and related memories. B．A man’s unexpected compliments on the author’s old appearance. C．The right attitude people should have towards their own aging. D．A memorable ferry trip on the Mekong River in the author’s youth. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对自己衰老过程的独特感受和回忆，包括他人评价、自我认知及特定场景下的感悟。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Rather than your face as a young woman, I prefer your face as it is now. Ravaged.”(比起你年轻时的脸，我更喜欢你现在的脸。Ravaged。)”可知，此处是与年轻时作对比，现在应是沧桑的，所以Ravaged的意思是“毁坏的、沧桑的”。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“But instead of being dismayed I watched this process with the same sort of interest I might have taken in the reading of a book.(但我没有感到沮丧，而是以一种看书的兴趣来观察这个过程。)”可知，作者接受了自己的衰老，甚至对此感到好奇。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’m fifteen and a half, there are no seasons in that part of the world, we have just the one season, hot, monotonous, we’re in the long hot girdle of the earth, with no spring, no renewal.(我十五岁半，世界上那个地方没有季节，我们只有一个季节，炎热、单调，我们处在地球漫长的炎热地带，没有春天，没有更新。)”可知，“no spring, no renewal(没有春天，没有更新)”象征着作者失去的活力和新的开始。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中“Very early in my life it was too late. It was already too late when I was eighteen. Between eighteen and twenty-five my face took off in a new direction. I grew old at eighteen.(在我的生命中很早的时候就已经太晚了。我十八岁的时候就已经太晚了。在十八岁到二十五岁之间，我的脸朝一个新的方向发展。我十八岁就老了。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者突然衰老的经历和相关的回忆。故选A。 B 【来源】上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学2025-2026学年高三上学期第二次周测英语试题 Decoding Energy Labels When shopping for a large appliance, it’s natural to focus on the purchase price. But another important factor is how much the machine will add to your utility bills. Reading the EnergyGuide label closely could save you hundreds of dollars. Here’s what to look for. * Yellow numbers are circled. a．This shows how much energy in kilowatt hours the appliance uses in one year. For a washing machine, for example, this estimate is based on the average energy used per wash cycle multiplied by the number of cycles run per year. The label uses national averages — but electricity rates vary by location, so also look at the bulleted information below it to help you estimate your actual costs. b．If you have a natural gas appliance, refer to this number. c．This scale helps you compare the model you’re considering to others of the same type. The closer the arrow is to the left, the more energy efficient(and cost-efficient) the appliance is. d．This is the approximate amount you’ll pay for the model over one year. It takes into account both the amount of energy required to operate the appliance and to heat water, if that’s required. 5．This passage probably belongs to a magazine section called _________. A．Product Spotlight B．Tech Update C．Deal Finder D．Money Saver 6．The descriptions (a-d) in the box are in the wrong order. Which of the following shows their correct order from ① to ④? A．d-a-c-b B．b-c-a-d C．b-a-c-d D．a-d-b-d 7．Which of the following is true about the bullet points in the label? A．They reflect your actual usage or rates. B．They detail what the estimates are based on. C．LG Electronics isn’t certified with Energy Star. D．Yellow numbers means standard washing procedures. 【答案】5．D 6．A 7．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了购买大型家电时需关注的EnergyGuide标签，解释了标签上各部分信息的含义，帮助消费者通过阅读标签了解家电的年度能耗、使用成本及能效水平，从而节省电费开支。 5．推理判断题。根据文章开头“Reading the EnergyGuide label closely could save you hundreds of dollars. (仔细阅读EnergyGuide标签可以帮你节省数百美元。)”可知，文章核心是帮助消费者省钱。文章可能来自一本名为《省钱》的杂志，故选D。 6．细节理解题。①指向“Estimated Yearly Energy Cost(年度能耗成本)”，对应d“年度花费金额”；②指向“Estimated Yearly Electricity Use(年度用电量)”，对应a“年度能耗（千瓦时）”；③指向“Cost Range of Similar Models(同类产品成本范围)”，对应c“能效对比刻度”；④指向“天然气热水炉的年度成本”，对应b“天然气家电参考数值”。因此从①到④的正确顺序是d-a-c-b，对应选项A。故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据描述a中的“the label uses national averages — but electricity rates vary by location, also look at the bulleted information below it to help you estimate your actual costs. (标签使用全国平均值，但电费因地区而异，也可以查看下方的项目符号信息来估算实际成本)”可知，项目符号信息解释了估算数据的依据。故选B。 C 【来源】上海市南汇中学2025-2026学年高三上学期12月阶段练习英语试题 I struggle with letting go of things. Embarrassing situations that occurred decades ago still regularly pop into my mind and stress me out. I don’t seem to be able to move past them and forget them. Even small irrelevant things get me worked up. Can you suggest some techniques to move on and lead a calmer life? —A painful reader Since you said a lot of these are insignificant upon reflection, I’ll assume we’re not talking about big traumas (创伤) but the kinds of sour memories we all have. It feels unpleasant to be pulled back into the past, forced to relive those painful memories. So why do we keep going back? One possibility is that we feel not enough has changed. Time might have passed, but in the respects that matter, we still feel as though we’re right there. Still scared in the same ways those situations made us feel, still vulnerable to those same stressors, even uninsured against the same mistakes. If you feel as though a lot has changed since an indignity, the memory feels more like a postcard from somewhere distant. But if you feel the same in the ways that matter, an upsetting thing from the past can still seem threatening insofar as that version of us persists today. Or maybe we go back to these memories because there’s some unanswered question we keep trying to solve. Why did I say that? Why did they do that? If I’d done that differently, would this have changed? Maybe, more rarely, we go back because we’re bored. Sometimes if present-day life doesn’t quite feel stimulating enough we can go back to conflicts or hard choices from the past, because even though they were unpleasant, they somehow feel more real. Therapy can help figure out which it is for you. When the distressing thought comes knocking why does it seem worth opening the door? That would really help you tailor your strategies. The calm you’ll need if you’re trying to solve a question may not be the calm you need if you still feel vulnerable in those same ways. Well-meaning people might say you need closure, a way to tell a coherent (有条理的) story. Closure is great if you can get it, but I’m not convinced it’s essential. What concerns me is that trying to find narratively pleasing ways to transform painful memories ultimately makes our capacity to move on depend on whether we can make sense of those events. Coherence may be genuinely beyond our reach. Bad luck doesn’t make sense. People don’t always have a “why”. I think it’s less “I have to get closure” and more “I have to see this as past, over”. As you try to figure out what is captivating about these memories, it might help to try seeing them in past tense. Not solved, just over — not a source of new pain, not part of a pattern; an echo of hurts gone by. 8．According to the columnist, why do we keep going back to painful memories? A．(a) Becoming stronger over time; (b) Gaining closure; (c) Seeking excitement B．(a) Avoiding current problems; (b) Hoping to erase past; (c) Searching for luck C．(a) Developing new skills; (b) Rewriting the past; (c) Enjoying old conflicts D．(a) Still vulnerable as before; (b) Wondering “why”; (c) Feeling bored in present life 9．What concern does the author express about the idea of “closure”? A．Closure is unnecessary and irrelevant for individuals stuck in pain. B．Closure relies on making sense of events, which may be impossible. C．Closure can only be achieved through constructing a touching story. D．Closure is seen as more valuable than the ability to move forward. 10．Which of the following best summarizes the author’s advice? A．Painful memories must be carefully analyzed to gain wisdom. B．Forgetting the past is the only way to achieve peace eternally. C．Painful memories should be seen as finished events, not threats. D．One could resolve painful memories by rewriting his own past. 【答案】8．D 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕读者提出的“难以放下痛苦回忆”的困扰，分析了人们反复回想痛苦回忆的原因，并给出了相应的建议，帮助读者以更平和的心态面对过往。 8．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Still scared in the same ways those situations made us feel, still vulnerable to those same stressors, even uninsured against the same mistakes.(我们依然会因那些场景而感到恐惧，依然易受同样压力源的影响，甚至依然无法避免犯同样的错误)”、第五段中的“Or maybe we go back to these memories because there’s some unanswered question we keep trying to solve. Why did I say that? Why did they do that?(或许我们回想这些回忆，是因为有一些未解的问题一直在试图寻找答案。我为什么会那么说？他们为什么要那样做？)”以及第六段中的“Maybe, more rarely, we go back because we’re bored. Sometimes if present-day life doesn’t quite feel stimulating enough we can go back to conflicts or hard choices from the past.(或许，更少见的情况是，我们回想过去是因为感到无聊。有时如果当下的生活不够令人兴奋，我们就会回想过去的冲突或艰难抉择)”可知，人们反复回想痛苦回忆的原因包括依然和以前一样脆弱、想弄明白“为什么”以及当下生活感到无聊。故选D项。 9．细节理解题。根据第八段中的“What concerns me is that trying to find narratively pleasing ways to transform painful memories ultimately makes our capacity to move on depend on whether we can make sense of those events. Coherence may be genuinely beyond our reach.(我担心的是，试图寻找一种叙事上令人满意的方式来转化痛苦的回忆，最终会让我们能否继续前行取决于我们是否能理解这些事件。而这种连贯性或许真的是我们无法企及的)”可知，作者对“释怀”这一概念的担忧是，释怀依赖于理解事件的来龙去脉，但这可能是不可能的。故选B项。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As you try to figure out what is captivating about these memories, it might help to try seeing them in past tense. Not solved, just over — not a source of new pain, not part of a pattern; an echo of hurts gone by.(当你试图弄明白这些回忆为何如此有吸引力时，试着用过去时来看待它们可能会有帮助。不是被解决了，只是结束了——不再是新痛苦的来源，不再是某种模式的一部分，只是过往伤痛的余响)”可推知，作者的建议是，应将痛苦的回忆视为已经结束的事情，而不是威胁。故选C项。 Section B Directions: Read the following passage.

But brands have never been more fragile. The reason is simple: consumers are supremely well informed and far more likely to investigate the real value of products than to rely on logos. Absolute Value, a new book by Itamar Simonson and Emanuel Rosen shows that, historically, the rise of brands was a response to an information-poor environment. 11 If a car was made by G. M., or a ketchup by Heinz, you assumed that it was pretty good. It was hard to figure out if a new product from an unfamiliar company was reliable or not, so brand loyalty was a way of reducing risk. Today, consumers can read much research about whatever they want to buy. This started back with Consumer Reports, which did objective studies of products. 12 It has given ordinary consumers easy access to expert reviews, user reviews, and detailed product data, in an array of categories. A recent study found that eighty per cent of consumers look at online reviews before making major purchases, and a host of studies have logged the strong influence those reviews have on the decisions people make. 13 An undesirable product can become a laughingstock (笑柄) in a matter of hours. In the old days, you might buy a Sony television set because you’d owned one before, or because you trusted the brand. Today, such considerations matter much less than reviews on Amazon and Engadget and CNET. As Simonson said, “each product now has to prove itself on its own.” It’s been argued that in a world where consumers are overwhelmed with information, the information will actually make brands more valuable. Indeed, the role a brand plays in people’s lives has become all the more important. But information overload is largely a myth. 14 And this has made customer loyalty pretty much a thing of the past. Only twenty-five per cent of American respondents in a recent study said that brand loyalty affected how they shopped. A．But what’s really weakened the power of brands is the Internet. B．For consumers this is ideal: heightened competition has raised quality and held down prices. C．When consumers had to rely on advertisements and their past experience with a company, brands served as a guarantee for quality. D．A large quantity of consumers fail to get a great deal of information efficiently and effectively. E．The rise of social media has sped up the trend to an astonishing degree. F．Most consumers figure out how to find what they’re looking for without spending huge amounts of time online. 【答案】11．C 12．A 13．E 14．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对品牌忠诚度进行了研究，发现由于互联网，品牌忠诚度已成为过去。 11．上文“Absolute Value, a new book by Itamar Simonson and Emanuel Rosen shows that, historically, the rise of brands was a response to an information-poor environment (Itamar Simonson和Emanuel Rosen合著的新书《绝对价值》表明，从历史上看，品牌的崛起是对信息匮乏环境的回应)”说明过去信息不足时消费者依赖品牌，下文“If a car was made by G. M., or a ketchup by Heinz, you assumed that it was pretty good. (通用的汽车、亨氏的番茄酱会被认为质量不错)”体现品牌是质量的保障。C选项“当消费者不得不依赖广告和他们过去对一家公司的经验时，品牌就成了质量的保证”衔接了上文的信息匮乏背景与下文的品牌作用，符合语境。故选C。 12．上文“Today, consumers can read much research about whatever they want to buy. (如今，消费者可以查阅很多关于他们想买的东西的研究报告)”说明信息获取方式改变，后文“It has given ordinary consumers easy access to expert reviews, user reviews, and detailed product data, in an array of categories. (它使普通消费者可以方便地访问一系列类别的专家评论、用户评论和详细的产品数据)”提到消费者能访问的各种数据。A选项“但真正削弱品牌影响力的是互联网”既承接了上文的信息获取变化，又引出了下文互联网的具体作用，符合语境。故选A。 13．上文“A recent study found that eighty per cent of consumers look at online reviews before making major purchases, and a host of studies have logged the strong influence those reviews have on the decisions people make. (最近的一项研究发现，80%的消费者在购买大宗商品之前会查看在线评论，大量研究记录了这些评论对人们做出决定的强烈影响)”说明消费者依赖网络评价，下文“An undesirable product can become a laughingstock (笑柄) in a matter of hours. (不受欢迎的产品几小时内会成笑柄)”体现信息传播的速度快。E选项“社交媒体的兴起将这一趋势加速到了惊人的程度”衔接了上文的评价影响与下文的快速传播，符合语境。故选E。 14．上文“But information overload is largely a myth. (信息过载很大程度上是个误区)”说明消费者并未被信息淹没，后文“And this has made customer loyalty pretty much a thing of the past. (这让品牌忠诚度几乎成为过去式)”指出品牌忠诚度不再那么重要了。F选项“大多数消费者都知道如何在不花费大量时间上网的情况下找到他们想要的东西”解释了信息过载是误区的原因，也引出了后文品牌忠诚度弱化的结果，符合语境。故选F。 1 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
