B When Naomi DeBerry learned her father needed a kidney, the six-year-old girl did not fully understand what it meant. She had become curious about her father’s at-home kidney dialysis (透析) treatments, then her parents decided to tell her the truth that her father had kidney disease and needed a transplant (移植) to stay alive. When her father, former journalist Jarvis DeBerry, went in for the transplant shortly afterward, the doctor’s office offered Naomi a coloring book to comfort her. But she said it wasn’t enough. “I needed support and I didn’t really have that. I had a lot of adults, but there weren’t any children who were going through the same thing.” Naomi decided that she would write a book explaining to children what it is like to have a parent in need of a kidney. After working on it for about two years, she released My Daddy Needs A Gift in June. The book cover features a family in a hospital, introducing readers to Naomi’s heartfelt quest for a kidney transplant for her father. As Naomi discovers that dialysis isn’t enough to keep her father healthy, she faces the challenges of hospital visits and medical uncertainties. This story is crucial for understanding how children manage when a parent is seriously ill. “This book is for children everywhere who have a sick parent and are scared,” Naomi writes in her dedication. With vivid illustrations by Jasmine T. Mills, the book presents a family united in their hope as they search for a donor. My Daddy Needs A Gift skillfully balances the emotional weight of the DeBerrys’ experience with straightforward information about organ transplants. The book features a glossary (词汇表) that defines terms like “nephrologist” (肾病学家) and “dialysis”, as well as explaining the roles of donors and donor organizations. While Naomi’s father ultimately receives his “gift of life” from a cousin, the story highlights the difficulties many people face in obtaining the necessary resources and organ donations. 4. What is the main reason Naomi wrote My Daddy Needs A Gift? A. To honor her cousin who donated a kidney. B. To help kids with sick parents overcome fear. C. To record her father’s treatment and recovery. D. To encourage more people to become doctors. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The main content and purpose of the book. B. The impact of Naomi’s childhood on her. C. The challenges Naomi faced in her daily life. D. The medical treatment Naomi’s dad received. 6. What can readers learn about Naomi’s family? A. They struggled to afford the medical costs. B. They moved to a new city for better treatment. C. They supported each other during the hard times. D. They’re ready to donate organs to those in need. 7. What does Naomi’s experience of becoming an author show? A. Time and tide wait for no man. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C Vic Wilcox has lazy workmates, a bad-tempered (易怒的) father and an unromantic, distant marriage. However, he owns a Jaguar (捷豹汽车) and feels happy when driving. As the main character of David Lodge’s novel Nice Work and head of an engineering firm, he often drives hundreds of miles for meetings being behind the wheel. The novel depicts a world that is fading away. According to the National Travel Survey, people now travel much less than they did 20 years ago, which reverses a long-term trend. David Metz points out that travel distances rose sharply in the late 20th century, a trend that started two centuries earlier with the launch of passenger railways. Wilcox and his peers once drove this change, but people’s travel has dropped significantly. In 2002, the average man traveled 8,245 miles; by 2024, this figure fell to 6,549 miles, a 21% decrease. The drop was almost entirely due to less driving. Women’s travel also fell by 9%, from 2002 levels to 5,633 miles in 2024. Both genders commute shorter distances and travel less for shopping, but work-related travel for men has plummeted by 45% — the biggest drop. Cliff Jackson, a former salesman, recalls driving 30,000 to 35,000 miles a year in the 1980s and 1990s. He and other salesmen traveled widely on motorways to meet clients, sometimes using pay phones to call the office. This “road-warrior” lifestyle has almost disappeared for several reasons. Tax officials tightened rules on company cars, while the Internet and video calls have made regular sales trips unnecessary. Companies and public bodies also encourage employees to use public transportation. This road-based culture is now mostly kept alive in novels and a great 1993 BBC documentary. Mr Wratten, who represents people who travel for work, does not mourn (哀伤) the road warriors. He thinks that travel has become more purposeful and determined. Companies have become more concerned about the health and happiness of their employees, and that concern extends to travel. Mr Wratten notes that firms increasingly tolerate or even encourage staff to take their partners on business trips. This would surely shock Vic Wilcox. 8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By providing statistics. C. By defining a concept. D. By giving an example. 9. What does the underlined word “plummeted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Remained stable. B. Risen slowly. C. Decreased sharply. D. Changed randomly. 10. What led to the disappearance of the “road-warrior” lifestyle? A. Stricter rules on company cars. B. The high cost of owning private cars. C. The decline in the number of salesmen. D. The closing of many motorway service areas. 11. What can we infer from Mr Wratten’s words? A. Business travel will soon disappear. B. Modern business travel is more human-centered. C. Companies used to ignore employees’ travel safety. D. Vic Wilcox enjoys taking his wife on business trips. D At Green Americana, a temporary restaurant in San Francisco, chefs Philip Saneski and Emily Hopkins introduce their future courses full of innovation. The pork meatballs are sourced from within city limits, the chicken-fried steak is chicken-free, and the espresso (特浓咖啡) has never seen a coffee bean. All of them seem familiar but are made from industrial substitutes (替代品). The meal’s idea belongs to Xander Balwit, a writer who covers the biotechnology industry. She wanted to present an optimistic vision of what the food industry could be like in 2055, based on today’s real technologies. “Coverage of those ‘future foods’ tends to present them as poor-quality substitutes for natural products, but treating them as high-end cuisine can change this perspective,” she says. At Green Americana, ingredients have experienced ethical and environmental improvements. The steak made from plant-based protein is from an Israeli company. Because plant proteins absorb marinades (腌料) quicker than animal ones, the chefs can feel freer to experiment with flavoring. The pork meatballs use lab-grown meat made from cells of a sow (母猪), which lives on a farm now, so diners enjoy them guilt-free. The espresso uses coffee alternatives made from chickpeas (鹰嘴豆), rice hulls, and green tea, addressing coffee’s sensitivity to climate change. Some future foods can even fight climate change. The butter in southern-style biscuits is vegan (纯素的), with fats made from CO₂, methane, and hydrogen by the food-tech firm Savor. Paired with carbon-extracting (碳提取) machines, it could help fight global warming. Not all innovations mimic (模仿) nature. The pink pineapple in the upside-down cake is genetically modified to keep lycopene (番茄红素), showing a future where innovation happens just because it’s possible. These dishes are mostly inviting as well as exciting. For Ms Balwit, getting people excited is the point. Discussions about the future of food have turned apologetic, she says, with innovations often presented as sensible alternatives rather than worth consuming in their own right. “What if we were just celebrating it?” she asks. Fine-dining trends might not transform the food system overnight, but they can often inspire changes in home kitchens. 12. What phenomenon does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. Diners prefer creative dishes over traditional ones. B. Chefs create new recipes using natural ingredients. C. A temporary restaurant likes promoting local food. D. Cooks began to make dishes with man-made ingredients. 13. What is Balwit’s attitude towards the present coverage of future foods? A. Uncaring. B. Uncertain. C. Critical. D. Appreciative. 14 What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. Man-made foods will replace natural ones completely. B. Future foods have moral and environmental advantages. C Ethical food production is more complex than expected. D. Natural ingredients are healthier than industrial substitutes. 15. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. Future Foods: From Poor Replacements to Fine Delights B. The Rise of Temporary Restaurants All over San Francisco C. A Key Way to Transform the Global Food System Overnight D. Natural Foods V. S. Lab-grown Foods: A Long-lasting Debate 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In recent years, almost every new car sold has come with a high-tech touchscreen, which controls everything from the air conditioning and satnav (卫星导航) to the music. ____16____ The answer is straightforward. If playing with the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting, and therefore dangerous, then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers can learn where physical controls are, and press buttons or twiddle dials (拨动旋扭) without taking their eyes off the road. ____17____ And a screen does dozens of jobs, so finding a particular setting often means tapping through several sub-menus. The result, say critics, is a dangerous distraction built into the car itself. ____18____ A 2022 Swedish study found drivers took far longer to complete tasks with touchscreens than with physical buttons — up to 45 seconds for the slowest model, compared to just 10 seconds in a car with physical buttons. A 2024 Norwegian study using gaze-tracking (视线追踪) showed even simple tasks like adjusting temperature distracted drivers for 3.5 seconds, while entering navigation addresses took 16 seconds. A 2020 British analysis also noted touchscreens impaired reaction time more than drunk driving. Safety bodies are responding. From January, new rules from Euro NCAP (汽车碰撞测试), an organization responsible for car safety ratings, will deny five-star safety ratings to cars without physical switches for key functions like indicators and windscreen wipers. ____19____ Many drivers dislike touchscreens for reasons other than safety, finding them troublesome and annoying to use. Therefore, some car producers have begun restoring at least some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favor, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — ____20____ A. Researches back that up. B. But are touchscreens safe? C. Carmakers are taking action too. D. Why are touchscreens so popular? E. though that is a subject for another story. F. which is expected to solve the problems of physical controls. G. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making that harder. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 What began as heartbreak for one family has turned into a powerful story of kindness, teamwork, and hope.

Like many parents, she was trying to create holiday magic. For months, her 6-year-old daughter Aubrey had only wanted one Christmas gift: a real piano keyboard, not a cheap toy version. Now that Aubrey was asleep, Cathy pulled the box from its hidden place, ready to assemble (组装) the 61-key keyboard — perfect for a beginner like Aubrey. Cathy had planned to set it up so Aubrey could play it right away when she woke up to the surprise. But when she opened the box, there was only the stand and bench — no keyboard. She realized what she hadn’t noticed earlier — the keyboard was sold separately. The panic set in. Cathy recalled the joy she felt when she received her first guitar at Aubrey’s age. How disappointed would Aubrey be if she came downstairs and saw only a bench and a stand with no keyboard. Would she doubt the existence of Santa Claus? There had to be a way to fix this, she thought. Maybe an online seller could deliver a keyboard by morning. Or she could sneak out (偷偷溜出去) to a store that was still open. She checked both options, but there was no hope. Now desperate, Cathy posted in a local social media group. “I’m about to cry,” she explained the situation. “I’m so upset, this is going to ruin her Christmas.” Andy Harry, who lives five miles from Cathy, was about to go to bed around 2 a. m. when he saw her plea (恳求). “Any parent would panic,” he thought. “I didn’t want anyone who believes in Christmas magic to be disappointed.” He thought about the keyboard he had bought for his daughter Hayley two years earlier. They still had it, and honestly, Hayley barely played it. Harry got out of bed and went to check if Hayley was awake. Finding her still up, Harry explained the situation and asked if they could give the keyboard to Cathy. When Hayley knew what had happened, she was happy to help without any hesitation. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They took out the keyboard and contacted Cathy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Cathy finished putting all the pieces together, she smiled with relief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ ★开封前注意保密 肇庆市2026届高中毕业班第一学期末教学质量监测 英语 本试题共11页，考试时间120分钟，满分120分 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的信息填写清楚、准确，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码粘贴处。 2. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 3. 答题时请按要求用笔，保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不得使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。考试结束后，请将本试题及答题卡交回。 第二部分 阅读 （共两节，满分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 December is set to be a feast for art lovers globally, with diverse remarkable exhibitions displaying classic masterpieces and contemporary works.

Cliff Jackson, a former salesman, recalls driving 30,000 to 35,000 miles a year in the 1980s and 1990s. He and other salesmen traveled widely on motorways to meet clients, sometimes using pay phones to call the office. This “road-warrior” lifestyle has almost disappeared for several reasons. Tax officials tightened rules on company cars, while the Internet and video calls have made regular sales trips unnecessary. Companies and public bodies also encourage employees to use public transportation. This road-based culture is now mostly kept alive in novels and a great 1993 BBC documentary. Mr Wratten, who represents people who travel for work, does not mourn (哀伤) the road warriors. He thinks that travel has become more purposeful and determined. Companies have become more concerned about the health and happiness of their employees, and that concern extends to travel. Mr Wratten notes that firms increasingly tolerate or even encourage staff to take their partners on business trips. This would surely shock Vic Wilcox. 8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A By quoting an expert. B. By providing statistics. C. By defining a concept. D. By giving an example. 9. What does the underlined word “plummeted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Remained stable. B. Risen slowly. C. Decreased sharply. D. Changed randomly. 10. What led to the disappearance of the “road-warrior” lifestyle? A. Stricter rules on company cars. B. The high cost of owning private cars. C. The decline in the number of salesmen. D. The closing of many motorway service areas. 11. What can we infer from Mr Wratten’s words? A. Business travel will soon disappear. B. Modern business travel is more human-centered. C. Companies used to ignore employees’ travel safety. D. Vic Wilcox enjoys taking his wife on business trips. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕“英国商务出行模式的演变”展开，通过数据和案例介绍了过去二十年间商务出行的变化，探讨了现代商务出行的新特点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Vic Wilcox has lazy workmates, a bad-tempered (易怒的) father and an unromantic, distant marriage. However, he owns a Jaguar (捷豹汽车) and feels happy when driving. As the main character of David Lodge’s novel Nice Work and head of an engineering firm, he often drives hundreds of miles for meetings being behind the wheel. (Vic Wilcox有一群懒散的同事，一位脾气暴躁的父亲，还有一段平淡、疏离的婚姻。但他拥有一辆捷豹汽车，开车时会感到心情愉悦。作为David Lodge的小说《好工作》中的主角，同时也是一家工程公司的老板，他常常亲自开车数百英里去参加会议)”可知，作者以小说人物Vic Wilcox为例引出话题，介绍过去的商务出行模式。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Both genders commute shorter distances and travel less for shopping, but work-related travel for men has plummeted by 45% — the biggest drop. (男性和女性通勤的距离都变短了，购物出行的次数也减少了，但男性的工作相关出行量____了45%，这是降幅最大的一项)”可知，划线词plummeted和“the biggest drop”意义直接相关，与“Decreased sharply (急剧下降)”含义最接近。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This “road-warrior” lifestyle has almost disappeared for several reasons. Tax officials tightened rules on company cars, while the Internet and video calls have made regular sales trips unnecessary. (这种“公路勇士”式的生活方式几乎消失了，原因是多方面的。税务部门收紧了公司用车的相关规定，而互联网和视频通话也让常规的商务销售出行变得不再必要)”可知，“公路勇士”生活方式消失的原因包括公司用车规则变严。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr Wratten notes that firms increasingly tolerate or even encourage staff to take their partners on business trips. This would surely shock Vic Wilcox. (Wratten先生指出，企业越来越容忍甚至鼓励员工带伴侣一同出差。这肯定会让Vic Wilcox感到大为震惊)”可知，现代企业更关注员工的健康与幸福，商务出行也更人性化。故选B项。 D At Green Americana, a temporary restaurant in San Francisco, chefs Philip Saneski and Emily Hopkins introduce their future courses full of innovation. The pork meatballs are sourced from within city limits, the chicken-fried steak is chicken-free, and the espresso (特浓咖啡) has never seen a coffee bean. All of them seem familiar but are made from industrial substitutes (替代品). The meal’s idea belongs to Xander Balwit, a writer who covers the biotechnology industry. She wanted to present an optimistic vision of what the food industry could be like in 2055, based on today’s real technologies. “Coverage of those ‘future foods’ tends to present them as poor-quality substitutes for natural products, but treating them as high-end cuisine can change this perspective,” she says. At Green Americana, ingredients have experienced ethical and environmental improvements. The steak made from plant-based protein is from an Israeli company. Because plant proteins absorb marinades (腌料) quicker than animal ones, the chefs can feel freer to experiment with flavoring. The pork meatballs use lab-grown meat made from cells of a sow (母猪), which lives on a farm now, so diners enjoy them guilt-free. The espresso uses coffee alternatives made from chickpeas (鹰嘴豆), rice hulls, and green tea, addressing coffee’s sensitivity to climate change. Some future foods can even fight climate change. The butter in southern-style biscuits is vegan (纯素的), with fats made from CO₂, methane, and hydrogen by the food-tech firm Savor. Paired with carbon-extracting (碳提取) machines, it could help fight global warming. Not all innovations mimic (模仿) nature. The pink pineapple in the upside-down cake is genetically modified to keep lycopene (番茄红素), showing a future where innovation happens just because it’s possible. These dishes are mostly inviting as well as exciting. For Ms Balwit, getting people excited is the point. Discussions about the future of food have turned apologetic, she says, with innovations often presented as sensible alternatives rather than worth consuming in their own right. “What if we were just celebrating it?” she asks. Fine-dining trends might not transform the food system overnight, but they can often inspire changes in home kitchens. 12. What phenomenon does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. Diners prefer creative dishes over traditional ones. B. Chefs create new recipes using natural ingredients. C. A temporary restaurant likes promoting local food. D. Cooks began to make dishes with man-made ingredients. 13. What is Balwit’s attitude towards the present coverage of future foods? A. Uncaring. B. Uncertain. C. Critical. D. Appreciative. 14. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. Man-made foods will replace natural ones completely. B. Future foods have moral and environmental advantages. C. Ethical food production is more complex than expected. D. Natural ingredients are healthier than industrial substitutes. 15. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. Future Foods: From Poor Replacements to Fine Delights B. The Rise of Temporary Restaurants All over San Francisco C A Key Way to Transform the Global Food System Overnight D. Natural Foods V. S. Lab-grown Foods: A Long-lasting Debate 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了旧金山一家快闪餐厅推出的创新未来食品及其背后的理念。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The pork meatballs are sourced from within city limits, the chicken-fried steak is chicken-free, and the espresso (特浓咖啡) has never seen a coffee bean. All of them seem familiar but are made from industrial substitutes (替代品). (肉丸来自城市范围内的原料，炸鸡排不含鸡肉，浓缩咖啡从未见过咖啡豆。所有菜品看起来很熟悉，但都是用工业替代品制成的。)”可知，作者指出厨师开始用人造原料制作菜肴的现象。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Coverage of those ‘future foods’ tends to present them as poor-quality substitutes for natural products, but treating them as high-end cuisine can change this perspective,” she says. (她说：“对这些‘未来食品’的报道往往将其描述为天然产品的劣质替代品，但将其作为高端美食来呈现可以改变这种看法。”)”可知，Balwit对目前未来食品的报道持批判态度。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At Green Americana, ingredients have experienced ethical and environmental improvements. (在“绿色美式”餐厅，食材在伦理和环境方面都有了改善。)”可知，未来食品具有道德和环境方面的优势。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了快闪餐厅用人造原料制作未来菜品；第二段指出目前对未来食品的报道多将其视为劣质替代品，而高端呈现可以改变这一认知；第三段说明未来食品在伦理和环境上的优势；第四段提到部分未来食品甚至能对抗气候变化；最后一段总结，将未来食品作为高端美食呈现可以改变人们的看法，激励家庭厨房的改变。由此可知，A选项“Future Foods: From Poor Replacements to Fine Delights (未来食品：从劣质替代品到精致美食)”最适合作为文章标题。故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In recent years, almost every new car sold has come with a high-tech touchscreen, which controls everything from the air conditioning and satnav (卫星导航) to the music. ____16____ The answer is straightforward. If playing with the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting, and therefore dangerous, then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers can learn where physical controls are, and press buttons or twiddle dials (拨动旋扭) without taking their eyes off the road. ____17____ And a screen does dozens of jobs, so finding a particular setting often means tapping through several sub-menus. The result, say critics, is a dangerous distraction built into the car itself. ____18____ A 2022 Swedish study found drivers took far longer to complete tasks with touchscreens than with physical buttons — up to 45 seconds for the slowest model, compared to just 10 seconds in a car with physical buttons. A 2024 Norwegian study using gaze-tracking (视线追踪) showed even simple tasks like adjusting temperature distracted drivers for 3.5 seconds, while entering navigation addresses took 16 seconds. A 2020 British analysis also noted touchscreens impaired reaction time more than drunk driving. Safety bodies are responding. From January, new rules from Euro NCAP (汽车碰撞测试), an organization responsible for car safety ratings, will deny five-star safety ratings to cars without physical switches for key functions like indicators and windscreen wipers. ____19____ Many drivers dislike touchscreens for reasons other than safety, finding them troublesome and annoying to use. Therefore, some car producers have begun restoring at least some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favor, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — ____20____ A. Researches back that up. B. But are touchscreens safe? C. Carmakers are taking action too. D. Why are touchscreens so popular? E. though that is a subject for another story. F. which is expected to solve the problems of physical controls. G. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making that harder. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了如今新车普遍配备中控触摸屏，但其操作会分散驾驶员注意力，存在安全隐患，多项研究也证实其比物理按键更危险。安全机构出台新规，车企也开始恢复物理按键，同时厂商又转向研发语音控制技术。 【16题详解】 根据后文“The answer is straightforward. If playing with the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting, and therefore dangerous, then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too.(答案很简单。如果在驾驶时玩智能手机屏幕会让人分心，从而存在安全隐患，那么在车里使用车载显示屏这样做也很可能有风险)”可知，后文回答“触屏驾驶时可能有危险”，B选项“但触屏安全吗?”提出疑问，引出下文的解释，衔接自然。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Drivers can learn where physical controls are, and press buttons or twiddle dials (拨动旋扭) without taking their eyes off the road.(驾驶员能够了解各个物理控制装置的位置，并且在不将视线从道路上移开的情况下按下按钮或转动旋钮)”可知，前文说物理按键可盲操作，G选项“触屏无物理反馈，使这更困难”对比物理按键与触屏的差异，呼应了后文“需多次点击子菜单”，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“A 2022 Swedish study found drivers took far longer to complete tasks with touchscreens than with physical buttons — up to 45 seconds for the slowest model, compared to just 10 seconds in a car with physical buttons. A 2024 Norwegian study using gaze-tracking (视线追踪) showed even simple tasks like adjusting temperature distracted drivers for 3.5 seconds, while entering navigation addresses took 16 seconds. A 2020 British analysis also noted touchscreens impaired reaction time more than drunk driving.(2022年的一项瑞典研究发现，使用触摸屏完成任务所需的时间比使用实体按钮要长得多——最慢的型号完成任务所需时间甚至长达45秒，而使用实体按钮的汽车则只需10秒。2024年挪威的一项使用视线追踪技术的研究表明，即使是像调整温度这样的简单任务也会让司机分心3.5秒，输入导航地址则需要16秒。2020年英国的一项分析还指出，触摸屏对反应时间的影响比酒驾还要严重)”可知，后文列举瑞典、挪威、英国的研究数据，A选项“研究支持这一观点”引出后文的实证，符合行文逻辑。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Safety bodies are responding. From January, new rules from Euro NCAP (汽车碰撞测试), an organization responsible for car safety ratings, will deny five-star safety ratings to cars without physical switches for key functions like indicators and windscreen wipers.(安全机构正在做出回应。从今年 1 月起，由负责汽车安全评级的欧洲新车评估计划（Euro NCAP）制定的新规定将禁止那些没有用于控制诸如指示灯和雨刮器等功能的实体开关的汽车获得五星级安全评级)”以及后文“Many drivers dislike touchscreens for reasons other than safety, finding them troublesome and annoying to use. Therefore, some car producers have begun restoring at least some buttons to their new models.(许多司机不喜欢触摸屏并非出于安全方面的考虑，他们认为触摸屏使用起来既麻烦又令人烦恼。因此，一些汽车制造商已经开始在新车型中恢复至少部分按钮的功能)”可知，前文提到安全机构出台新规的举措，而空后则引出了汽车制造商为回应用户不满而恢复按钮的具体行动，C选项“汽车制造商也在采取行动”使前后文逻辑连贯。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favor, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control(但创新永不停歇。即便触屏设备的受欢迎程度有所下降，许多制造商仍将注意力转向了语音控制技术)”可知，前文提到语音控制成为新方向，E选项“不过这是另一个话题了”自然收尾，避免话题延伸过远，衔接恰当。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 What began as heartbreak for one family has turned into a powerful story of kindness, teamwork, and hope.

Like many parents, she was trying to create holiday magic. For months, her 6-year-old daughter Aubrey had only wanted one Christmas gift: a real piano keyboard, not a cheap toy version. Now that Aubrey was asleep, Cathy pulled the box from its hidden place, ready to assemble (组装) the 61-key keyboard — perfect for a beginner like Aubrey. Cathy had planned to set it up so Aubrey could play it right away when she woke up to the surprise. But when she opened the box, there was only the stand and bench — no keyboard. She realized what she hadn’t noticed earlier — the keyboard was sold separately. The panic set in. Cathy recalled the joy she felt when she received her first guitar at Aubrey’s age. How disappointed would Aubrey be if she came downstairs and saw only a bench and a stand with no keyboard. Would she doubt the existence of Santa Claus? There had to be a way to fix this, she thought. Maybe an online seller could deliver a keyboard by morning. Or she could sneak out (偷偷溜出去) to a store that was still open. She checked both options, but there was no hope. Now desperate, Cathy posted in a local social media group. “I’m about to cry,” she explained the situation. “I’m so upset, this is going to ruin her Christmas.” Andy Harry who lives five miles from Cathy, was about to go to bed around 2 a. m. when he saw her plea (恳求). “Any parent would panic,” he thought. “I didn’t want anyone who believes in Christmas magic to be disappointed.” He thought about the keyboard he had bought for his daughter Hayley two years earlier. They still had it, and honestly, Hayley barely played it. Harry got out of bed and went to check if Hayley was awake. Finding her still up, Harry explained the situation and asked if they could give the keyboard to Cathy. When Hayley knew what had happened, she was happy to help without any hesitation. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They took out the keyboard and contacted Cathy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Cathy finished putting all the pieces together, she smiled with relief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 They took out the keyboard and contacted Cathy. The well-preserved keyboard, ideal for a beginner like Aubrey, was carefully packed and placed on the backseat. Then Harry drove through the quiet Christmas morning towards Cathy’s home, with Hayley together, to answer Cathy’s desperate plea. Cathy, still fighting the panic that the mistake would ruin her daughter’s holiday, waited anxiously at her doorway. When Harry handed her the keyboard, tears of relief fell down her face. She was grateful to them for the surprise offer. Their kindness restored her faith in holiday magic. When Cathy finished putting all the pieces together, she smiled with relief. The 61-key keyboard matched the stand and bench perfectly, glowing softly in the Christmas sunlight. She stepped back, imagining Aubrey’s excitement at the long-awaited surprise. As dawn broke, Aubrey went downstairs, her eyes widening with surprise at the real keyboard. She sat on the bench, traced the keys gently, and then began to play with delight. Joyful music filled the room. As Cathy hugged her daughter tightly, she realized that holiday magic wasn’t just about gifts, but about the warmth of strangers trying to save a child’s happiness at Christmas. 【解析】 【导语】本文以圣诞节钢琴键盘危机的解决为线索展开，讲述了陌生人之间的善意如何守护孩子的节日惊喜，传递了温暖的节日真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他们取出键盘并联系了凯西。”可知，第一段可描写安迪父女打包并驱车送键盘，凯西焦急等待后收到礼物的感激场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“当凯西把所有部件组装完成时，她如释重负地笑了。”可知，第二段可描写凯西组装好键盘，女儿发现礼物时的惊喜，以及凯西领悟到节日魔法的真谛。 2. 续写线索：取出键盘准备捐赠——驱车送达惊喜——焦急等待收到帮助——组装完成如释重负——发现礼物惊喜喜悦——领悟节日温暖真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①取出：take out/ pull out ②联系：contact/ reach out to/ get in touch with ③组装：put together/ assemble 情绪类 ①感激：grateful/ appreciative ②激动：excitement/ thrill/ eagerness 【点睛】【高分句型1】She stepped back, imagining Aubrey’s excitement at the long-awaited surprise. (运用了现在分词短语imagining...作状语) 【高分句型2】As Cathy hugged her daughter tightly, she realized that holiday magic wasn’t just about gifts, but about the warmth of strangers trying to save a child’s happiness at Christmas.
