B On November 1, 2025, I began a new journey of rediscovery through dance, performing in front of over 200 people at a school welcome party. It was a moment of reflection on how I had let social pressure change me and the beginning of a promise to never turn my back on dancing again. I was once a young girl who did endless ballet turns at home and in front of people. However, as I started school, my relationship with dance began to change. Dancing was only “cool” if you took extra classes and became skilled. Wanting to fit in and avoid judgment, I pushed my love for dance aside. I convinced myself that dancing wasn’t something I could enjoy openly anymore. On October 22, 2025, the dance team needed an extra person for a welcome party performance in one week. I didn’t know what drove me to raise my hand. Part of me was hesitant, afraid of dancing in front of a potentially judgmental crowd, but something inside pushed me forward. Maybe it was that young girl within me, the one who loved to dance without fear, urging me to say “yes.” We were dancing to a fast-paced song, and I had only a week to learn the dance while my teammates had been practicing for two months. Yet, I poured everything into learning it. Practicing was anything but easy. The pressure of keeping up with my team weighed heavily on me. Thankfully, my teammates were patient and supportive. Even stressed, I kept going, practicing every day for hours. On performance day, anxiety filled my mind. Would they notice missteps or laugh at me? But as I stepped into the spotlight, a wave of joy washed over me, and I saw clearly how much I had let social pressure hold me back. I realized it was never worth it to meet others’ expectations at the cost of your own joy. 24. What did the author think of dancing after she started school? A. Cheerful. B. Satisfying. C. Disappointing. D. Stressful. 25. What drove the author to volunteer for the performance? A. A strong desire to dance again. B. A sudden urge to prove herself. C. The deep trust from her classmates. D. The need to escape from the crowds. 26. How did the author keep up with the team? A. She asked teammates for help. B. She used her past experience. C. She devoted all her strength. D. She took extra dance classes. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Fortune favors the brave. B. Dream big and work hard. C. Stay true to what you love. D. Rome wasn’t built in a day. C There are numerous online personality quizzes that claim to determine whether your left or right brain is more dominant. Left-brained people are supposedly logical and excel at language and math while right-brained people are more imaginative, emotionally intelligent and skilled with spatial reasoning. There’s just one problem: That’s not how brains work. Popular science enthusiasts sort of took this idea and spread it far and wide, and it’s become woven in popular culture now and won’t disappear anytime soon. Despite this enduring belief, there’s no such thing as being “right-brained” or “left-brained”. Whether you’re someone who tends more towards creativity or logic has nothing to do with one hemisphere (半球) of your brain being dominant over the other. But the actual science of how the two halves of our brains work together is sometimes stranger than fiction. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right. In all vertebrate (脊椎的) animals, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and vice versa. And scientists have long known, thanks to the behaviors of patients who suffered brain injuries, that different areas of the brain do different things. But many scientists struggled with this idea, because the very suggestion that the left and right halves of the brain operate differently disrupted the idea that nature tends toward perfect symmetry (对称). Work by neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) has revealed the importance of different hemispheres of the brain for different activities. However, their research quickly saw some misinterpretations in the general public: Some presumed creative people must be right-brained and logical people left-brained. It is proven that not only is personality unrelated to the different halves of the brain, but people aren’t really right — or left-brained to begin with. The idea that we have left-dominant people and right-dominant people, and that this is related to personality, is categorically false. That’s never been supported in the neuroscience community. Neuroscientists don’t believe that and never have. What scientists learned is that there are really important differences between the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. It’s just that they have nothing to do with personality or whether cognitive strategy is more logical or free spirited or creative. While researchers have shown the limitations of how the hemispheres of our brains influence our lives, it’s not difficult to understand the appeal of such ideas. People are endlessly fascinated by themselves and their friends, and the subtle differences in how people think about the world are really meaningful to them. When you come up with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves, we are drawn to that. It’s irresistible. But you have to take it with an enormous grain of salt. 28. What do numerous personality quizzes online claim they are able to do? A. Distinguish between the two hemispheres of one’s brain. B. Determine whether one is left-brained or right-brained. C. Tell if one is more of a linguist or of a mathematician. D. Figure out how one’s brain performs different tasks. 29. What does the underlined word “woven” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Scattered. B. Lifted. C. Integrated. D. Hidden. 30. Why did many scientists disagree that different brain areas do different things? A. It contradicts the assumption that the two hemispheres of the brain are symmetrical. B. It dismisses the view that the universe has been evolving in a consistent manner. C. It goes against the idea that the left and right halves of the brain work together. D. It disrupts the idea that the right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body. 31. What are we advised to do with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves? A. Challenge its authority. B. Examine its originality. C. Evaluate its popularity. D. Question its reliability. D A growing number of companies are building humanoid robots and these mechanical look-alikes are starting to appear in car factories and delivery places. Some businesses even promise robots for home use. Yet one big question still has no answer: Why bother? Why make a robot in a human shape when it could take any imaginable form? The usual answer is that humanoid robots could, in principle, handle any physical jobs a person can. But that “in principle” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If you’ve watched videos of these robots, you’ll get it — they’re often clumsy, awkward machines. Sure, the technology helping them stand and move has come a long way, but they’re still not as quick or graceful as humans. Meanwhile, robots built for a single job — like an arm shifting goods between conveyor belts (传送带) — are now commonplace. Designed with one purpose, they do it really well, unlike humanoid robots, which aim to do everything but often master nothing. Another argument is that a human shape makes it easier for people to work with or control robots. This holds some water, especially since many of these machines still need skilled human operators. Companies often avoid admitting this, calling it a short-term phase, but the dream of fully independent, AI-powered humanoid robots — ones that match or beat human workers — remains a long shot. For now, what we’ve got are human-shaped shells guided by people behind the scenes. When Elon Musk introduced Tesla’s Optimus robot in 2021, he proudly claimed it could teach, babysit, walk dogs, fetch groceries, or pour drinks. Yet those robots weren’t AI-driven, and each was controlled by a hidden human. Notice a pattern? These tasks—low-wage, service-oriented jobs — suggest that, for now, humanoid robots just mask human effort with a shiny surface. Some remote-controlled robots serve real purposes, like in deep-sea exploration. But those machines aren’t shaped like humans — they look like capsules or small vehicles, and they work just fine. The idea that robots must be human-shaped is a failure of imagination. Yes, humanoid robots look impressive. They remind us of the fantasies in science fictions where machines handle all difficult tasks. But today, they are mostly marketing tools, masking human labor. And a robot that doesn’t truly improve life is missing the point. 32. What does the underlined phrase “holds some water” mean in paragraph 3? A. Provides sufficient evidence. B. Makes much sense. C. Is partly reasonable. D. Is widely accepted. 33. Why does the author mention Tesla’s Optimus robot? A. To prove humanoid robots are better. B. To highlight its impressive technology. C. To show it can replace human workers. D. To suggest it is in the charge of humans. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward humanoid robots? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. When Humanoid Robots Miss Potential B. How Humanoid Robots Miss Goals C. What Humanoid Robots Lack Now D. Why Humanoid Robots Fall Short 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项 During your initial reading of material, do you ever go back and reread sentences or paragraphs? Is it because the material is too difficult to comprehend on the first reading or because you are asleep? ____36____You are napping (打盹) or daydreaming. Halfway down the page you realize that you have no idea what you have read. ____37____Thus, you go back and reread, not because you did not understand, but because you were not paying attention. This type of rereading is called regression. Napping and daydreaming are habits caused by lack of involvement with the material. Be demanding on yourself and expect 100 percent attention to the task. Engage your mind. Visualize the incoming ideas, and relate the new material to what you already know. ____38____If your mind is truly occupied with the text, you will not be able to think about Friday night or where to go on Saturday. Regression is a crutch (拐杖) that allows you to make up for wasted time. First of all, become aware of when and why you are regressing. ____39____Say. “OK. I missed that paragraph because I was thinking of something else, but I’m going to keep on going and start paying close attention.” ____40____Good readers who monitor their own comprehension use it in the reading process. However, regressing because your mind was asleep is a waste of time. A. Both are to blame. B. Probably the latter is true. C. Don’t just read the words; think the ideas. D. Spend a few minutes reading the material aloud. E. Your eyes were engaged, but your mind was not. F. Then, start denying yourself the right in order to break the habit. G. Rereading because you did not understand is a reasonable fix-up strategy. 三、 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. Astonishingly, scientists have found out that the social ____41____ of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will ____42____ in certain ways, like gathering together to protect their land. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to ____43____ one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly ____44____ to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food? In the laboratory, chimps don’t ____45____ share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull ____46____ -he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish. Human children, ____47____, are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they desire to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this ____48____ in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help. There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally ____49____ in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very _____50_____ age before most parents have started to train their children to behave _____51_____. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence _____52_____ in children before their general cognitive(认知的) skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the _____53_____ world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world. The core (核心) of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can _____54_____ what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a(n) _____55_____goal. 41.

Legend has it ____56____whenever Ji Bu made a promise and he would spare no effort to fulfill it. Such a virtue of honesty earned ____57____(he) a good reputation, and there was a saying widely spread: It is better to have a promise from Ji Bu than to get hundreds of ounces of gold. In ancient China, the currency consisted mainly of precious metals,____58____ gold, silver and copper, so ____59____(carry) a large quantity of cash was not only a heavy burden but could also put the owner ____60____ danger because robberies quite often happened along the way. Li Daquan, a successful merehant ____61____ friend proposed that a draft should be issued to replace the real cash.

His fingers tapped nervously on his backpack as his mom told him the moving company had found some lost boxes from their recent move, and she could get them that afternoon. A feeling of hope rose in Jack’ s heart. He asked quietly if Big Dog might be in the boxes. Grandpa had bought the treasured toy dog for him at the fair three years before. Though now eight years old Jack still needed his old friend back on the shelf above his bed, which had been empty since they moved. His mom said she wasn’t sure. Her voice trembled as she added that the photo albums were confirmed lost by the company — all those precious pictures of festive occasions, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings were gone. Jack recognized that voice, the one that she used when trying to be strong. He knew what the albums meant to her. She promised to check the boxes carefully before picking him up, giving his shoulder a comforting pat (轻拍)。 All day at school, Jack found it hard to sit still, his eyes constantly darting (瞟) to the clock. During math class, he missed Big Dog’s lovely eyes. At lunch, he recalled Grandma’s warm hug and bright smile from those lost photos. On the playground, his mind wandered back to the joy of their whole family together-laughing and running along the beach under a clear blue sky. As the art class bell finally rang, Mr. Light announced, “Today you are free to draw anything you wish.” Jack stared at the blank paper, memories rushing back. The sad face of his mom popped up and then an idea came to him — maybe he could find a new way to save those memories. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 He knew what he could draw. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, Jack rushed to his mom, with the drawing in his hand. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 学校：______姓名：______班级：______考号：______ 2025—2026学年度华州区第一学期期末质量监测 高二英语科试题 本试卷共18页，满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 一、听力（30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation probably take place?

B. It keeps the old part from the Middle Ages. C. It holds the biggest Spanish art collection. 【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: When travel agents mention Pamplona, Spain, most travelers think of the famous festival during the second week in July, known as the Running of the Bulls. This festival started in the Middle Ages when butchers needed to get their meat to the market. Long ago, these meat sellers would drive the cattle in front of them through the narrow streets to the marketplace. If you want to save money, come to Pamplona any of the other 51 weeks of the year. You are sure to find plenty to do. Treat yourself to a five-star meal featuring local beef and, of course, wine. And if you’re interested in history, you’ll probably enjoy the Museo de Navarra, the local museum. The building was a hospital in the Middle Ages, and it now houses a unique collection including everything from Roman drawings to modern Spanish art. No trip to Spain would be complete without a visit to a church, so you’ll want to save some time for the Cathedral of St. Mary. The outside was built in the 18th century, but the heart of the church is from the later part of the Middle Ages. Now, who is ready to book their vacation of a lifetime? 二、阅读理解（50分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Spend a term abroad with a group of Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) students interning (实习) in Sydney!

It was a moment of reflection on how I had let social pressure change me and the beginning of a promise to never turn my back on dancing again. I was once a young girl who did endless ballet turns at home and in front of people. However, as I started school, my relationship with dance began to change. Dancing was only “cool” if you took extra classes and became skilled. Wanting to fit in and avoid judgment, I pushed my love for dance aside. I convinced myself that dancing wasn’t something I could enjoy openly anymore. On October 22, 2025, the dance team needed an extra person for a welcome party performance in one week. I didn’t know what drove me to raise my hand. Part of me was hesitant, afraid of dancing in front of a potentially judgmental crowd, but something inside pushed me forward. Maybe it was that young girl within me, the one who loved to dance without fear, urging me to say “yes.” We were dancing to a fast-paced song, and I had only a week to learn the dance while my teammates had been practicing for two months. Yet, I poured everything into learning it. Practicing was anything but easy. The pressure of keeping up with my team weighed heavily on me. Thankfully, my teammates were patient and supportive. Even stressed, I kept going, practicing every day for hours. On performance day, anxiety filled my mind. Would they notice missteps or laugh at me? But as I stepped into the spotlight, a wave of joy washed over me, and I saw clearly how much I had let social pressure hold me back. I realized it was never worth it to meet others’ expectations at the cost of your own joy. 24. What did the author think of dancing after she started school? A. Cheerful. B. Satisfying. C. Disappointing. D. Stressful. 25. What drove the author to volunteer for the performance? A. A strong desire to dance again. B. A sudden urge to prove herself. C. The deep trust from her classmates. D. The need to escape from the crowds. 26. How did the author keep up with the team? A. She asked teammates for help. B. She used her past experience. C. She devoted all her strength. D. She took extra dance classes. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Fortune favors the brave. B. Dream big and work hard. C. Stay true to what you love. D. Rome wasn’t built in a day. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因社交压力放弃舞蹈，后重新拾起并在表演中找回自我的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, as I started school, my relationship with dance began to change. Dancing was only “cool” if you took extra classes and became skilled. Wanting to fit in and avoid judgment, I pushed my love for dance aside. I convinced myself that dancing wasn’t something I could enjoy openly anymore.(可步入校园后，我与舞蹈的联结开始悄然改变。彼时的校园里，只有参加额外舞蹈课程、练就一身技艺，跳舞才算是件 “时髦的事”。为了融入集体、避免他人非议，我将对舞蹈的热爱尘封心底，还说服自己，舞蹈再也不是一件能让我坦然享受的事。)”可知，作者上学后认为跳舞是有压力的。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“On October 22, 2025, the dance team needed an extra person for a welcome party performance in one week. I didn’t know what drove me to raise my hand. Part of me was hesitant, afraid of dancing in front of a potentially judgmental crowd, but something inside pushed me forward. Maybe it was that young girl within me, the one who loved to dance without fear, urging me to say “yes.”(2025年10月22日，舞蹈队急需一名替补队员，参与一周后的迎新晚会演出。我至今说不清是什么驱使自己举起了手。内心的一角满是迟疑，害怕在一群或许会对我品头论足的观众面前跳舞，但心底总有一股力量推着我向前。或许，是那个藏在我心底的小女孩 —— 那个曾无所畏惧热爱舞蹈的自己，在催促我说出“我愿意”。)”可知，是内心深处对舞蹈的强烈渴望驱使作者自愿参加表演。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yet, I poured everything into learning it. Practicing was anything but easy. The pressure of keeping up with my team weighed heavily on me. Thankfully, my teammates were patient and supportive. Even stressed, I kept going, practicing every day for hours.(即便如此，我还是拼尽全力去练习。这段练习的日子，过得异常艰难，跟上队友节奏的压力，重重地压在我的心头。所幸，我的队友们始终耐心相伴、倾力支持。即便倍感焦虑，我也没有停下脚步，每天都花上数小时练习。)”可知，作者倾尽全力跟上团队。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“It was a moment of reflection on how I had let social pressure change me and the beginning of a promise to never turn my back on dancing again.(那一刻，我不禁回想自己曾如何因社交压力改变自我，也在这一刻许下承诺：此生再也不会放弃舞蹈。)”和最后一段中“I realized it was never worth it to meet others’ expectations at the cost of your own joy.(可当我踏上聚光灯下的舞台，一股喜悦的暖流涌上心头，我也终于清醒地意识到，自己曾被社交压力束缚了太久。我这才明白，为了迎合他人的期待，牺牲属于自己的快乐，从来都不值得。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者因社交压力放弃舞蹈，后重新拾起并在表演中找回自我的故事，由此可推知，我们能从作者的故事中学到：坚持你所爱。故选C。 C There are numerous online personality quizzes that claim to determine whether your left or right brain is more dominant. Left-brained people are supposedly logical and excel at language and math while right-brained people are more imaginative, emotionally intelligent and skilled with spatial reasoning. There’s just one problem: That’s not how brains work. Popular science enthusiasts sort of took this idea and spread it far and wide, and it’s become woven in popular culture now and won’t disappear anytime soon. Despite this enduring belief, there’s no such thing as being “right-brained” or “left-brained”. Whether you’re someone who tends more towards creativity or logic has nothing to do with one hemisphere (半球) of your brain being dominant over the other. But the actual science of how the two halves of our brains work together is sometimes stranger than fiction. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right. In all vertebrate (脊椎的) animals, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and vice versa. And scientists have long known, thanks to the behaviors of patients who suffered brain injuries, that different areas of the brain do different things. But many scientists struggled with this idea, because the very suggestion that the left and right halves of the brain operate differently disrupted the idea that nature tends toward perfect symmetry (对称). Work by neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) has revealed the importance of different hemispheres of the brain for different activities. However, their research quickly saw some misinterpretations in the general public: Some presumed creative people must be right-brained and logical people left-brained. It is proven that not only is personality unrelated to the different halves of the brain, but people aren’t really right — or left-brained to begin with. The idea that we have left-dominant people and right-dominant people, and that this is related to personality, is categorically false. That’s never been supported in the neuroscience community. Neuroscientists don’t believe that and never have. What scientists learned is that there are really important differences between the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. It’s just that they have nothing to do with personality or whether cognitive strategy is more logical or free spirited or creative. While researchers have shown the limitations of how the hemispheres of our brains influence our lives, it’s not difficult to understand the appeal of such ideas. People are endlessly fascinated by themselves and their friends, and the subtle differences in how people think about the world are really meaningful to them. When you come up with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves, we are drawn to that. It’s irresistible. But you have to take it with an enormous grain of salt. 28. What do numerous personality quizzes online claim they are able to do? A. Distinguish between the two hemispheres of one’s brain. B. Determine whether one is left-brained or right-brained. C. Tell if one is more of a linguist or of a mathematician. D. Figure out how one’s brain performs different tasks. 29. What does the underlined word “woven” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Scattered. B. Lifted. C. Integrated. D. Hidden. 30. Why did many scientists disagree that different brain areas do different things? A. It contradicts the assumption that the two hemispheres of the brain are symmetrical. B. It dismisses the view that the universe has been evolving in a consistent manner. C. It goes against the idea that the left and right halves of the brain work together. D. It disrupts the idea that the right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body. 31. What are we advised to do with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves? A. Challenge its authority. B. Examine its originality. C. Evaluate its popularity. D. Question its reliability. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了网络上流行的关于左右脑主导性格的说法，指出这种说法并不科学，并解释了大脑两半球的实际功能差异与性格无关。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There are numerous online personality quizzes that claim to determine whether your left or right brain is more dominant. (有无数的在线性格测试声称可以确定你的左脑或右脑哪个更占主导地位)”可知，许多在线性格测试声称能够确定一个人是左脑型还是右脑型。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Popular science enthusiasts sort of took this idea and spread it far and wide, and it’s become woven in popular culture now and won’t disappear anytime soon. (科普爱好者们接受了这个想法并广泛传播，现在它已经woven在流行文化中，不会很快消失)”可知，这种观点已经广泛传播并根植于流行文化之中，成为其一部分。因此，“woven”在此处意为“融入，交织为一体”，与C项“Integrated”同义。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“But many scientists struggled with this idea, because the very suggestion that the left and right halves of the brain operate differently disrupted the idea that nature tends toward perfect symmetry (对称). (但许多科学家对这一观点感到困扰，因为大脑左右半球运作方式不同的说法，破坏了自然界倾向于完美对称的观念)”可知，许多科学家不同意大脑不同区域负责不同功能，是因为这与大脑两半球对称性的假设相矛盾。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When you come up with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves, we are drawn to that. It’s irresistible. But you have to take it with an enormous grain of salt. (当你推出一个能告诉我们一些关于自己的东西的在线测试时，我们会被它吸引。这很诱人。但你必须带着极大的怀疑态度看待它)”可知，作者建议我们对这类在线测试应质疑其可靠性。注：take it with an enormous grain of salt 意为“非常怀疑地看待某事”。故选D项。 D A growing number of companies are building humanoid robots, and these mechanical look-alikes are starting to appear in car factories and delivery places. Some businesses even promise robots for home use. Yet one big question still has no answer: Why bother? Why make a robot in a human shape when it could take any imaginable form? The usual answer is that humanoid robots could, in principle, handle any physical jobs a person can. But that “in principle” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If you’ve watched videos of these robots, you’ll get it — they’re often clumsy, awkward machines. Sure, the technology helping them stand and move has come a long way, but they’re still not as quick or graceful as humans. Meanwhile, robots built for a single job — like an arm shifting goods between conveyor belts (传送带) — are now commonplace. Designed with one purpose, they do it really well, unlike humanoid robots, which aim to do everything but often master nothing. Another argument is that a human shape makes it easier for people to work with or control robots. This holds some water, especially since many of these machines still need skilled human operators. Companies often avoid admitting this, calling it a short-term phase, but the dream of fully independent, AI-powered humanoid robots — ones that match or beat human workers — remains a long shot. For now, what we’ve got are human-shaped shells guided by people behind the scenes. When Elon Musk introduced Tesla’s Optimus robot in 2021, he proudly claimed it could teach, babysit, walk dogs, fetch groceries, or pour drinks. Yet those robots weren’t AI-driven, and each was controlled by a hidden human. Notice a pattern? These tasks—low-wage, service-oriented jobs — suggest that, for now, humanoid robots just mask human effort with a shiny surface. Some remote-controlled robots serve real purposes, like in deep-sea exploration. But those machines aren’t shaped like humans — they look like capsules or small vehicles, and they work just fine. The idea that robots must be human-shaped is a failure of imagination. Yes, humanoid robots look impressive. They remind us of the fantasies in science fictions where machines handle all difficult tasks. But today, they are mostly marketing tools, masking human labor. And a robot that doesn’t truly improve life is missing the point. 32. What does the underlined phrase “holds some water” mean in paragraph 3? A. Provides sufficient evidence. B. Makes much sense. C. Is partly reasonable. D. Is widely accepted. 33. Why does the author mention Tesla’s Optimus robot? A. To prove humanoid robots are better. B. To highlight its impressive technology. C. To show it can replace human workers. D. To suggest it is in the charge of humans. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward humanoid robots? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A When Humanoid Robots Miss Potential B. How Humanoid Robots Miss Goals C. What Humanoid Robots Lack Now D. Why Humanoid Robots Fall Short 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人形机器人存在的问题及缺陷。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Another argument is that a human shape makes it easier for people to work with or control robots.(另一种观点认为，人类的形态使人们更容易与机器人合作或控制机器人) ”以及划线单词所在的句子“especially since many of these machines still need skilled human operators.(尤其是考虑到许多这样的机器仍然需要熟练的人类操作员)”可知，另一种观点认为，人类的外形让人们更容易与机器人合作或控制机器人，特别是考虑到许多这样的机器仍然需要熟练的人类操作员，这有一定道理，因此，划线短语“holds some water”意思是“有一定道理”。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When Elon Musk introduced Tesla’s Optimus robot in 2021, he proudly claimed it could teach, babysit, walk dogs, fetch groceries, or pour drinks. Yet those robots weren’t AI-driven, and each was controlled by a hidden human.(2021年，当埃隆·马斯克介绍特斯拉的Optimus机器人时，他自豪地宣称，它可以教学、照顾孩子、遛狗、取杂货或倒饮料。然而，这些机器人并不是人工智能驱动的，每个机器人都由一个隐藏的人控制)”可推知，作者提到特斯拉的Optimus机器人是为了表明它是由人类控制的。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yes, humanoid robots look impressive. They remind us of the fantasies in science fictions where machines handle all difficult tasks. But today, they are mostly marketing tools, masking human labor. And a robot that doesn’t truly improve life is missing the point.(是的，人形机器人看起来令人印象深刻。它们让我们想起科幻小说中的幻想，机器可以处理所有困难的任务。但在今天，它们大多是营销工具，掩盖了人类的劳动。一个不能真正改善生活的机器人是没有意义的)”可推知，作者对人形机器人持怀疑态度。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A growing number of companies are building humanoid robots, and these mechanical look-alikes are starting to appear in car factories and delivery places. Some businesses even promise robots for home use. Yet one big question still has no answer: Why bother? Why make a robot in a human shape when it could take any imaginable form?(越来越多的公司正在制造人形机器人，这些机械外观相似的机器人开始出现在汽车工厂和送货地点。一些企业甚至承诺将机器人用于家庭。然而，一个大问题仍然没有答案：为什么要费心呢？既然机器人可以采取任何想象的形式，为什么还要把它做成人的形状呢？)”以及结合全文可知，本文主要讨论了人形机器人虽然看起来令人印象深刻，但目前大多只是营销工具，掩盖了人类的劳动，并没有真正改善生活。文章分析了人们制造人形机器人的原因，并指出其存在的问题。可知，D选项“为什么人形机器人达不到预期”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项 During your initial reading of material, do you ever go back and reread sentences or paragraphs? Is it because the material is too difficult to comprehend on the first reading or because you are asleep? ____36____You are napping (打盹) or daydreaming. Halfway down the page you realize that you have no idea what you have read. ____37____Thus, you go back and reread, not because you did not understand, but because you were not paying attention. This type of rereading is called regression. Napping and daydreaming are habits caused by lack of involvement with the material. Be demanding on yourself and expect 100 percent attention to the task. Engage your mind. Visualize the incoming ideas, and relate the new material to what you already know. ____38____If your mind is truly occupied with the text, you will not be able to think about Friday night or where to go on Saturday. Regression is a crutch (拐杖) that allows you to make up for wasted time. First of all, become aware of when and why you are regressing. ____39____Say. “OK. I missed that paragraph because I was thinking of something else, but I’m going to keep on going and start paying close attention.” ____40____Good readers who monitor their own comprehension use it in the reading process. However, regressing because your mind was asleep is a waste of time. A. Both are to blame. B. Probably the latter is true. C. Don’t just read the words; think the ideas. D. Spend a few minutes reading the material aloud. E. Your eyes were engaged, but your mind was not. F. Then, start denying yourself the right in order to break the habit. G. Rereading because you did not understand is a reasonable fix-up strategy. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. C 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕阅读中的回读现象展开，指出因打盹、发呆导致的回读被称为回归式阅读，分析了该现象的成因是对阅读材料缺乏投入，同时给出了集中注意力、改掉无意义回读习惯的方法，并区分了无意义回读与因理解困难产生的合理回读。 【36题详解】 上文“During your initial reading of material, do you ever go back and reread sentences or paragraphs? Is it because the material is too difficult to comprehend on the first reading or because you are asleep? (在初次阅读材料时，你是否会回头重读句子或段落？是因为材料太难，第一次读无法理解，还是因为你打盹了？)” 以两个问句提出阅读回读的两种可能原因，围绕回读的成因展开提问。B项“原因很可能是后者”直接回应上文的两个原因，确定回读的核心原因是打盹，而非材料难懂，自然引出下文对打盹导致回读的具体阐述，符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 上文“Halfway down the page you realize that you have no idea what you have read. (读到页面中间时，你才意识到自己根本不知道读了些什么。)” 指出了打盹阅读后“读而不知其意”的状态，引出回读的行为。E项“你的眼睛在看，但你的脑子却没有跟上”承接上文，精准描述了打盹阅读的核心状态，解释了为何会出现“读了却不知所云”的情况，同时为下文点明“注意力不集中是回读主因”做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选E。 【38题详解】 上文“Be demanding on yourself and expect 100 percent attention to the task. Engage your mind. Visualize the incoming ideas, and relate the new material to what you already know. (对自己严格要求，全身心投入到阅读任务中。调动你的思维，想象所读的内容，将新材料与已知知识联系起来。)” 给出了集中注意力、调动思维的阅读建议。C项“不要只看文字，要思考文字背后的含义”进一步阐释了“调动思维”的具体做法，强调阅读时的思考性，与上文的“投入思维、关联知识”相呼应，同时能支撑下文“专注文本则无心想琐事”的观点，逻辑通顺。故选C。 【39题详解】 上文“First of all, become aware of when and why you are regressing. (首先，要意识到自己何时、为何会回读。)” 提出了改掉无意义回读习惯的第一步——认知问题。下文“Say. “OK. I missed that paragraph because I was thinking of something else, but I’m going to keep on going and start paying close attention.”” (告诉自己：“好吧，我刚才因为想别的事错过了那段内容，但我要继续读下去，开始集中注意力。”)” 给出了具体的自我暗示与行动指引。F项“然后，开始拒绝自己无意义回读的行为，以此改掉这个习惯”承上启下，承接上文“意识到回读问题”的第一步，引出下文“主动坚持阅读、集中注意力”的具体改进行动，形成“发现问题—解决问题”的逻辑链，符合语境。故选F。 【40题详解】 上文围绕无意义回读的成因与改正方法展开，下文“Good readers who monitor their own comprehension use it in the reading process. However, regressing because your mind was asleep is a waste of time. (善于监控自身理解程度的优秀读者会在阅读过程中使用回读。然而，因为打盹而回读则是在浪费时间。)” 区分了合理回读与无意义回读的不同价值。G项“因理解困难而回读是一种合理的补救策略”承上启下，先明确存在合理的回读形式，与下文“优秀读者会使用回读”相呼应，同时为后文区分“合理回读”与“打盹导致的无意义回读”做铺垫，让段落逻辑层次清晰。故选G。 三、 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. Astonishingly, scientists have found out that the social ____41____ of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will ____42____ in certain ways, like gathering together to protect their land. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to ____43____ one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly ____44____ to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food? In the laboratory, chimps don’t ____45____ share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull ____46____ -he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish. Human children, ____47____, are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they desire to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this ____48____ in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help. There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally ____49____ in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very _____50_____ age before most parents have started to train their children to behave _____51_____. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence _____52_____ in children before their general cognitive(认知的) skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the _____53_____ world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学家迈克尔托马塞洛通过测试发现人类在社交方面比黑猩猩出色得多是因为人类的思维中有“共同意向性”，而黑猩猩的思维中却没有。 【41题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：令人惊讶的是，科学家发现黑猩猩的社会行为与人类非常相似。A. structures结构；B. responsibilities责任；C. policies政策；D. behaviors行为、举止。根据下文“Chimps will ________ in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory.”可知，黑猩猩的社会行为与人类非常相似，故选D。 【42题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：黑猩猩会以某种方式合作，比如聚在一起在战争中保护自己的领地。A. conflict冲突；B. offend冒犯；C. cooperate合作；D. discuss讨论。根据下文“like gathering in war parties to protect their territory.”可知，黑猩猩会聚在一起在战争中保护自己的领地，这说明它们会互相合作，故选C。 【43题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：但除了作为社会人的最低要求之外，它们几乎没有互相帮助的本能。A. help帮助；B. contact联系；C. divide分开；D. trust信任。攻击上文“But”可知，这里的转折连词表明此处与前面说的互相合作相反，除了作为社会人的最低要求之外，它们几乎不会互相帮助。故选A。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：甚至黑猩猩妈妈也经常拒绝与孩子分享食物。A. manage设法做成；B. decline拒绝；C. attempt尝试；D. force迫使。攻击上文“But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to ________ one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves.”可知，野生黑猩猩自己寻找食物，它们几乎不会互相帮助，所以黑猩猩妈妈也会拒绝与孩子分享食物，把食物只留给自己。故选B。 【45题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：在实验室里，黑猩猩也不会自然地分享食物。A. curiously好奇地；B. unwillingly不情愿地；C. naturally自然地；D. carelessly粗心地。上文“But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to ________ one another.”可知，说除了作为社会人的最低要求之外，黑猩猩几乎没有互相帮助的本能，在实验室里，它们也不会自然而然地分享食物。故选C。 【46题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：如果一只黑猩猩被关在笼子里，在那里它可以为自己拉进一盘食物，或者不费多大的力气就可以拉一盘食物给隔壁笼子的邻居，它只会随意拉——只是不在乎邻居是否被喂饱。A. in turn轮流；B. with care小心地；C. at random随意地、胡乱；D. in advance事先。根据下文“he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not.”可知，即使是毫不费力地拉一盘食物给隔壁的邻居，它也不会在乎邻居是否被喂饱，这说明它只是随意地拉。故选C。 【47题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。另一方面，人类儿童从很小的时候就非常合作，他们决定帮助他人，分享信息，参与实现共同目标。A. all in all总而言之；B. as a result结果；C. in no case决不；D. on the other hand另一方面。根据上文“In the laboratory, chimps don’t ________ share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull ________ — he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.”和下文“are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals.”可知，上文介绍的是黑猩猩的行为，下文介绍的是人类的行为，与黑猩猩的行为形成对比，用on the other hand构成对比。故选D。 【48题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：心理学家迈克尔托马塞洛在一系列针对幼儿的实验中研究了这种合作性。A. cooperativeness合作性；B. availability可用性；C. attack攻击；D. attractiveness吸引力。根据上文“From the earliest ages, they desire to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals.”可知，说人类儿童在很小的时候就知道合作，所以心理学家迈克尔托马塞洛在实验中研究了这种合作性。故选A。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有几个理由让我们相信，帮助、告知和分享的冲动不是教出来的，而是小孩子天生就有的。A. educated教育；B. possessed拥有；C. motivated激发；D. stimulated促进。根据上文“the urges to help, inform and share are not taught”可知，人类儿童很小的时候就知道合作的这些行为不是教出来的，而是生来就有的本能。故选B。 【50题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一个理由是这些本能在很小的时候就出现了，在大多数父母开始训练他们的孩子学会社交之前。A. old旧的；B. young年轻的；C. middle中间的；D. late迟的。根据上文“the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally ________ in young children.”可知，这些本能行为不是教出来的，而是生来就有的，所以是在人类很小的时候就出现了。故选B。 【51题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：见第10题详解。A. creatively创造性地；B. formally正式地；C. competitively竞争地；D. socially社交方面。根据上文“There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally ________ in young children.”可知，帮助、告知和分享都属于社交行为，此处指父母教他们的孩子学习社交之前，他们已经知道怎么做了。故选D。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：第三个原因是，社会智力的发展早于一般认知能力的发展，至少与黑猩猩相比是这样。A. develops发展；B. decreases减少；C. changes改变；D. disappears消失。根据上文“There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally ________ in young children.”可知，人类儿童从很小的时候就知道合作和帮助，人们认为这是因为社会智力的发展早于一般认知能力的发展。故选A。 【53题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在托马塞洛进行的测试中，人类儿童在物理世界测试中并不比黑猩猩表现得更好，但在理解社交世界方面表现得要好得多。A. invisible看不见的；B. abstract抽象的；C. physical物质的、物理的；D. imaginary虚构的。根据下文“the social world”可知，与社会世界相对的应该是物理世界。故选C。 【54题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这种能力的一部分是他们可以推断别人知道什么或正在想什么。A. infer推断；B. adapt适应；C. absorb吸收；D. balance平衡。根据上文“The core of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality.”可知，儿童思维中有托马塞洛所说的共同意向性，而黑猩猩的思维中却没有，这种能力会让人类儿童可以推断别人知道什么或正在想什么，所以他们从小就知道合作和分享。故选A。 55题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他们积极寻求成为“我们”的一部分，一个致力于实现共同目标的团体。A. realistic实际的；B. shared共享的；C. specific特定的；D. ambitious野心勃勃的。根据上文“But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose.”可知，即使是很小的孩子也希望成为共同目标的一部分，所以他们会为实现加入有共同目标的团体而努力。故选B。 第二节 语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 A famous Chinese idiom, yinuo qianjin (“a promise is worth a thousand ounces of gold”), tells such a story.

His fingers tapped nervously on his backpack as his mom told him the moving company had found some lost boxes from their recent move, and she could get them that afternoon. A feeling of hope rose in Jack’ s heart. He asked quietly if Big Dog might be in the boxes. Grandpa had bought the treasured toy dog for him at the fair three years before. Though now eight years old, Jack still needed his old friend back on the shelf above his bed, which had been empty since they moved. His mom said she wasn’t sure. Her voice trembled as she added that the photo albums were confirmed lost by the company — all those precious pictures of festive occasions, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings were gone. Jack recognized that voice, the one that she used when trying to be strong. He knew what the albums meant to her. She promised to check the boxes carefully before picking him up, giving his shoulder a comforting pat (轻拍)。 All day at school Jack found it hard to sit still, his eyes constantly darting (瞟) to the clock. During math class, he missed Big Dog’s lovely eyes. At lunch, he recalled Grandma’s warm hug and bright smile from those lost photos. On the playground, his mind wandered back to the joy of their whole family together-laughing and running along the beach under a clear blue sky. As the art class bell finally rang, Mr. Light announced, “Today you are free to draw anything you wish.” Jack stared at the blank paper, memories rushing back. The sad face of his mom popped up and then an idea came to him — maybe he could find a new way to save those memories. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 He knew what he could draw. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, Jack rushed to his mom, with the drawing in his hand. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 He knew what he could draw. Jack grabbed his crayons with determination. First, he vividly depicted his seventh birthday: Grandma’s face beaming with a smile as he blew out the candles. Next came a sunny beach scene — his whole family laughing and running along the shore. Finally, he drew the special moment when Grandpa gave him Big Dog. He connected all these scenes into one big picture, leaving one corner empty for new memories. When the bell rang, he gently rolled up his masterpiece, eager to share it with his mom. After school, Jack rushed to his mom, with the drawing in his hand. Breathlessly, he showed her his artwork. Her eyes welled up as she recognized each precious moment. Overwhelmed, she pulled him into a warm hug and then revealed Big Dog, which she had found in the recovered boxes. Seeing his old friend, Jack leaped with great joy, clutching it to his chest. When his mom noticed the blank corner, she suggested drawing the whole family in their new house. In that moment, they realized it was love that kept memories alive, and that together, they could always create new ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克和妈妈搬家后，心爱的玩具狗Big Dog失踪，相册也确认遗失，二人都十分难过。杰克在美术课上把珍贵的家庭回忆画成一幅画，想以此留住记忆。妈妈看到画作十分感动，同时拿出了找到的Big Dog，他们明白爱让记忆永存，还能创造新回忆。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他清楚自己能画些什么”可知，第一段可描写杰克在美术课上把珍贵的家庭回忆画成一幅画，想以此留住记忆。 ②由第二段首句内容“放学后，杰克手里拿着画冲向妈妈”可知，第二段可描写妈妈看到画作十分感动，同时拿出了找到的Big Dog，他们明白爱让记忆永存，还能创造新回忆。 2.续写线索：杰克绘画——描绘家庭回忆——给妈妈看——妈妈感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①描绘：depict/portray ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③看到：see/spot 情绪类 ①宝贵的：precious/valuable ②渴望：eager/raring 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes welled up as she recognized each precious moment.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] When his mom noticed the blank corner, she suggested drawing the whole family in their new house.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。You should have come earlier to see the appealing beginning of the live music festival in this park.

When travel agents mention pump spain, most travellers think of the famous festival during the second week in july, known as they are running of the balls. This festival started in the middle ages when butchers needed to get their meat to the market. Long ago, these meat sellers would drive the cattle in front of them through the narrow streets to the marketplace. If you want to save money, come to pamplona. Any of the other fifty one weeks of the year, you are sure to find plenty to do. Treat yourself to a five star meal, features local beef and of course, wine. And if you're interested in history, you'll probably enjoy the mozilo deniability.
