B A few years ago, I had the opportunity to go on a wildlife tour in southern Africa where our spotlight lit up a smaller hunter — African wildcat. The more I thought about those African wildcats, the more I’ve been amazed at their evolutionary (进化的) success. The African wildcat is the ancestor of our beloved household pets. And despite changing very little, their descendants have become among the world’s two most popular companion animals — cats and dogs. Household cats are quite expressive to their human companions, using different meows (喵) to communicate different messages. However, this is not an example of their treating us as part of their kind. Quite the contrary, cats rarely meow to one another. The sound of these meows has evolved to more effectively communicate with us. Cats similarly manipulate people with their purrs (呼噜声). When they want something, they purr extra loudly. And this purr is not the pleasant purring of a content cat, but a higher-pitched electric saw br-rr-oom demanding attention. Scientists digitally compared the sound qualities of the two types of purrs and discovered that the major difference is that the demanding purr includes a part very similar to the sound of a human baby crying. People, of course, are born to pay special attention to this sound, and cats have evolved to take advantage of this sensitivity to get our attention. Of course, that won’t surprise anyone who’s lived with a cat. Although cats are very trainable — they’re very food motivated — cats usually train us more than we train them. As the old saying goes, “Dogs have owners, cats have staff.” 4. What does the underlined word “descendants” mean? A. Relatives. B. Ancestors. C. Previous owners. D. Later generations. 5. What does meowing of household cats indicate? A. It’s a skill they use to communicate with humans. B. It’s a way they communicate with cats. C. It’s less expressive than wildcats’ meowing. D. It indicates cats see humans as their kind. 6. What is the difference between two types of purr? A. The demanding purr is more pleasant. B. The demanding purr sounds like a baby’s cry. C. The content purr sounds like an electric saw. D. The content purr is harder to hear. 7. Which statement is true according to the last paragraph? A. Cats see humans as owners. B. Cats and dogs are equally loyal. C. Humans are like staff to cats. D. Humans train cats more. C Global warming is mainly driven by greenhouse gases, but nature fights back with carbon sinks, places that absorb more carbon than they release. Forests are one of these natural carbon sinks. However, they are difficult to study thoroughly, especially in the complex landscapes of China. With so many plant types, measuring each one takes a lot of time and effort. To solve this problem, two students from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Middle School in Zhongshan, Guangdong, built a predictive model. Their idea won the Excellent Poster Award at the 2025 International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS). “We’ve learned that trees take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用),” said 17-year-old Ouyang Anduo, one of the students who won the award. “But this was our first time studying a forest, a complex system with many factors to consider.” To narrow the scope, they focused on one very important factor — forest canopy (冠层) height. This factor shows the forest’s health, helping people understand its carbon storage and adjust their strategies to maintain ecological balance, protect species diversity, regulate climate and more. Forest canopy height directly affects the accuracy of carbon storage estimation and biodiversity assessment, but it can be influenced by many variables, which makes it difficult to determine the relationships among them. “Then we thought of machine learning. Why not let a model learn on its own?” said 17-year-old Li Xiaoyong, another award-winning student. They integrated Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) LiDAR data with multi-source environmental variables such as climate, topography (地形) and soil. The model then identified patterns and made predictions. But teaching a model to learn was not easy. At times, the algorithm fit too closely to its training data, leaving it unable to make accurate predictions with new data. “We spent a long time finding solutions and adjusting the model,” said Ouyang. “This made me feel like a real scientist, handling each step with great rigor and patience.” 8. What’s the purpose of the two teens building a predictive model? A. To measure plant types faster. B. To study forests more efficiently. C. To win an international competition. D. To solve the problem of global warming. 9. Why did they focus on canopy height? A. Because it’s vital in carbon storage. B. Because it helps protect species diversity. C. Because it is difficult to study thoroughly. D. Because it reflects multiple aspects of forest health. 10. What does Ouyang imply in the last paragraph? A. Students should try hard to be scientists. B. Scientists should make accurate predictions. C. Society should show respect for science. D. Students should learn the true spirit of scientists. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Why Forests Are So Important B. The Study of Forest Canopy Height C. Teens Win an Award for Forest Research Model D. How to Build a Predictive Model Effectively D What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you’re using episode memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up? Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US believe this is thanks to a“memory reset button” in our brainstem. This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核), helps organize and separate our memories. In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner, they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch. The pitch change aimed to change the context and create what is known as an event boundary. Event boundaries help the brain organize episode memory by changing our perception and attention. After the experiment UCLA scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), helps shape episode memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers. The new understanding could lead to better treatment for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls. 12. What is the function of the locus coeruleus? A. To create event boundaries. B. To store long-term memories. C. To enhance memory accuracy. D. To help separate memory events. 13. What can be inferred about the “event boundary”? A. It made memory recall easier. B. It broke continuous memory flow. C. It was created by a change in attention. D. It’s controlled only by the hippocampus. 14. What does the author advise people to do about future Alzheimer’s treatment? A. Repair the hippocampus. B. Remove event boundaries. C. Adjust locus coeruleus activity. D. Use MRI scanners almost daily. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How event boundaries separate daily memories. B. The hippocampus links and separates different events. C. The locus coeruleus helps organize episode memories. D. Sound changes create boundaries between memories. 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。 We get frustrated all the time. The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life. ____16____ Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated? ·____17____ Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. ____18____ ·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional. The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. ____19____ If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress. ·Analyze the signal from the situation. When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. ____20____ In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth. Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration. A. Look on frustration from a different angle. B. Regard frustration as an academic challenge. C. There is a reason for the existence of frustration. D. Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions. E. On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first. F. Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth. G. In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，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。 Willard Wigan was born with dyslexia, a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, write and spell.

Jack, who had always struggled to put his thoughts into coherent words, determined to turn to AI for help. He simply input the given theme of the competition, added a few key words, and hit “generate”. Much to his delight, in less than 5 minutes, the screen lit up. A vivid and well-structured essay was presented. Jack was amazed by how effortlessly the well-chosen words flowed on the page. Without a second thought, Jack signed his name and submitted the piece, ignoring the tiny voice of guilt from the bottom of his heart. His essay stood out among hundreds of entries and was selected to represent the school in the municipal-level contest. When his English teacher Ms. Cathy, called him to her office, Jack’s heart skipped a beat. With a gentle but firm tone, Ms. Cathy looked straight into his eyes and asked, “Jack, I need you to tell me the truth — did you write this essay entirely on your own?” The question hung in the air, heavy and inescapable. Jack’s mind went blank for a moment. The thought of losing the chance to compete, of being laughed at by his classmates for cheating, overwhelmed him. Taking a shaky breath, he kept his eyes off the teacher and nodded, “Yes, Ms. Cathy. Every word is mine.” Ms. Cathy nodded, seemingly satisfied, and patted his shoulder, “That’s great. Your genuine hard work will pay off. This essay has a unique perspective, and I’m sure it will shine at the municipal contest.” But Jack didn’t feel any joy. On the contrary, a sense of guilt weighed heavily on him. That night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The lie he had told kept echoing in his ears. He thought about Ms. Cathy’s trusting eyes, about the meaning of the competition, and about how proud he would have felt if he had written the essay himself. He was torn between the fear of being exposed and the desire to do the right thing. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day to announce the results of the contest came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第一学期芜湖市高中教学质量监控 高三年级英语试题卷 本试题卷共8页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号框涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号框。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 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.

And despite changing very little, their descendants have become among the world’s two most popular companion animals — cats and dogs. Household cats are quite expressive to their human companions, using different meows (喵) to communicate different messages. However, this is not an example of their treating us as part of their kind. Quite the contrary, cats rarely meow to one another. The sound of these meows has evolved to more effectively communicate with us. Cats similarly manipulate people with their purrs (呼噜声). When they want something, they purr extra loudly. And this purr is not the pleasant purring of a content cat, but a higher-pitched electric saw br-rr-oom demanding attention. Scientists digitally compared the sound qualities of the two types of purrs and discovered that the major difference is that the demanding purr includes a part very similar to the sound of a human baby crying. People, of course, are born to pay special attention to this sound, and cats have evolved to take advantage of this sensitivity to get our attention. Of course, that won’t surprise anyone who’s lived with a cat. Although cats are very trainable — they’re very food motivated — cats usually train us more than we train them. As the old saying goes, “Dogs have owners, cats have staff.” 4. What does the underlined word “descendants” mean? A. Relatives. B. Ancestors. C. Previous owners. D. Later generations. 5. What does meowing of household cats indicate? A. It’s a skill they use to communicate with humans. B It’s a way they communicate with cats. C. It’s less expressive than wildcats’ meowing. D. It indicates cats see humans as their kind. 6. What is the difference between two types of purr? A. The demanding purr is more pleasant. B. The demanding purr sounds like a baby’s cry. C. The content purr sounds like an electric saw. D. The content purr is harder to hear. 7. Which statement is true according to the last paragraph? A. Cats see humans as owners. B. Cats and dogs are equally loyal. C. Humans are like staff to cats. D. Humans train cats more. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以非洲野猫是家猫的祖先为切入点，介绍了家养猫咪的交流方式，包括不同的喵叫声和呼噜声的进化意义，以及猫咪实则更擅长“训练”人类的有趣特点。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段第三句“The African wildcat is the ancestor of our beloved household pets. (非洲野猫是我们心爱的家养宠物的祖先)”可知，前半句讲非洲野猫作为祖先几乎无变化，后半句应衔接其“后代”成为家养宠物，“descendants”与“ancestor (祖先)”形成对应，意为“后代”。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Household cats are quite expressive to their human companions, using different meows (喵) to communicate different messages. However, this is not an example of their treating us as part of their kind. Quite the contrary, cats rarely meow to one another. The sound of these meows has evolved to more effectively communicate with us.(家猫对人类主人的表达欲十分强烈，会发出不同的叫声来传递不同的信息。但这并不意味着它们将我们视作同类。恰恰相反，猫咪之间极少会互相叫唤，这些叫声是为了更有效地与人类沟通而慢慢演化形成的)”可知，家养猫咪的喵叫声并非用于同类交流，而是进化后和人类交流的技能。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Scientists digitally compared the sound qualities of the two types of purrs and discovered that the major difference is that the demanding purr includes a part very similar to the sound of a human baby crying.(科学家通过数字手段对比了两种呼噜声的音质，发现主要区别在于带有诉求的呼噜声中有一部分和人类婴儿的哭声非常相似)”可知，文中提到带有诉求的呼噜声是类似电锯的尖锐声音，并非令人愉悦的，而满足的呼噜声是令人愉悦的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Of course, that won’t surprise anyone who’s lived with a cat. Although cats are very trainable — they’re very food motivated — cats usually train us more than we train them. As the old saying goes, “Dogs have owners, cats have staff.”(当然，和猫咪一起生活过的人对此都不会感到意外。猫咪其实很容易训练——它们会被食物所驱动——但通常都是猫咪在训练我们，而非我们训练它们。就像那句老话所说：“狗有主人，猫有铲屎官。”)” 可知，猫咪将人类当作为其服务的“铲屎官”；文中表明狗有主人，而猫并非将人类视为主人，且未提及猫狗的忠诚度对比，同时明确说明猫咪更擅长训练人类，并非人类训练猫咪更多。故选C项。 C Global warming is mainly driven by greenhouse gases, but nature fights back with carbon sinks, places that absorb more carbon than they release. Forests are one of these natural carbon sinks. However, they are difficult to study thoroughly, especially in the complex landscapes of China. With so many plant types, measuring each one takes a lot of time and effort. To solve this problem, two students from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Middle School in Zhongshan, Guangdong, built a predictive model. Their idea won the Excellent Poster Award at the 2025 International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS). “We’ve learned that trees take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用),” said 17-year-old Ouyang Anduo, one of the students who won the award. “But this was our first time studying a forest, a complex system with many factors to consider.” To narrow the scope, they focused on one very important factor — forest canopy (冠层) height. This factor shows the forest’s health, helping people understand its carbon storage and adjust their strategies to maintain ecological balance, protect species diversity, regulate climate and more. Forest canopy height directly affects the accuracy of carbon storage estimation and biodiversity assessment, but it can be influenced by many variables, which makes it difficult to determine the relationships among them. “Then we thought of machine learning. Why not let a model learn on its own?” said 17-year-old Li Xiaoyong, another award-winning student. They integrated Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) LiDAR data with multi-source environmental variables such as climate, topography (地形) and soil. The model then identified patterns and made predictions. But teaching a model to learn was not easy. At times, the algorithm fit too closely to its training data, leaving it unable to make accurate predictions with new data. “We spent a long time finding solutions and adjusting the model,” said Ouyang. “This made me feel like a real scientist, handling each step with great rigor and patience.” 8. What’s the purpose of the two teens building a predictive model? A. To measure plant types faster. B. To study forests more efficiently. C. To win an international competition. D. To solve the problem of global warming. 9. Why did they focus on canopy height? A. Because it’s vital in carbon storage. B. Because it helps protect species diversity. C. Because it is difficult to study thoroughly. D. Because it reflects multiple aspects of forest health. 10. What does Ouyang imply in the last paragraph? A. Students should try hard to be scientists. B. Scientists should make accurate predictions. C. Society should show respect for science. D. Students should learn the true spirit of scientists. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Why Forests Are So Important B The Study of Forest Canopy Height C. Teens Win an Award for Forest Research Model D. How to Build a Predictive Model Effectively 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了两名广东中学生为解决森林碳汇研究难题，利用机器学习和多源数据建立森林冠层高度预测模型的过程，该项目荣获国际奖项。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Forests are one of these natural carbon sinks.

And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you’re using episode memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up? Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US believe this is thanks to a“memory reset button” in our brainstem. This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核), helps organize and separate our memories. In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner, they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch. The pitch change aimed to change the context and create what is known as an event boundary. Event boundaries help the brain organize episode memory by changing our perception and attention. After the experiment, UCLA scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), helps shape episode memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers. The new understanding could lead to better treatment for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls. 12. What is the function of the locus coeruleus? A. To create event boundaries. B. To store long-term memories. C. To enhance memory accuracy. D. To help separate memory events. 13. What can be inferred about the “event boundary”? A. It made memory recall easier. B. It broke continuous memory flow. C It was created by a change in attention. D. It’s controlled only by the hippocampus. 14. What does the author advise people to do about future Alzheimer’s treatment? A. Repair the hippocampus. B. Remove event boundaries. C. Adjust locus coeruleus activity. D. Use MRI scanners almost daily. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How event boundaries separate daily memories. B. The hippocampus links and separates different events. C. The locus coeruleus helps organize episode memories. D. Sound changes create boundaries between memories. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15.

Event boundaries help the brain organize episode memory by changing our perception and attention.(这种音调的变化旨在改变语境，并形成所谓的“事件边界”。事件边界能够通过改变我们的感知和注意力，帮助大脑对事件记忆进行组织)”以及第四段“The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately.(结果表明，当一系列图片跨越了某种事件界限时，完成这项任务就变得更加困难。这表明声音的变化使得大脑将记忆分别进行存储)”可知，“事件边界”中断了连续的记忆流程。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The new understanding could lead to better treatment for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls.(这种新的认识可能会为治疗与记忆相关的问题（如阿尔茨海默病）带来更好的方法，因为在这种病症中，蓝斑会过度活跃。对于这类病症，可以通过药物、缓慢呼吸甚至使用减压球等方式来使蓝斑平静下来，从而进行治疗)”可知，作者建议未来阿尔茨海默病的治疗调整蓝斑的活动。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US believe this is thanks to a“memory reset button” in our brainstem.

The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life. ____16____ Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated? ·____17____ Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. ____18____ ·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional. The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. ____19____ If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress. ·Analyze the signal from the situation. When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. ____20____ In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth. Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration. A. Look on frustration from a different angle. B. Regard frustration as an academic challenge. C. There is a reason for the existence of frustration. D. Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions. E. On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first. F. Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth. G. In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. E 20.

Jack, who had always struggled to put his thoughts into coherent words, determined to turn to AI for help. He simply input the given theme of the competition, added a few key words, and hit “generate”. Much to his delight, in less than 5 minutes, the screen lit up. A vivid and well-structured essay was presented. Jack was amazed by how effortlessly the well-chosen words flowed on the page. Without a second thought, Jack signed his name and submitted the piece, ignoring the tiny voice of guilt from the bottom of his heart. His essay stood out among hundreds of entries and was selected to represent the school in the municipal-level contest. When his English teacher, Ms. Cathy, called him to her office, Jack’s heart skipped a beat. With a gentle but firm tone, Ms. Cathy looked straight into his eyes and asked, “Jack, I need you to tell me the truth — did you write this essay entirely on your own?” The question hung in the air, heavy and inescapable. Jack’s mind went blank for a moment. The thought of losing the chance to compete, of being laughed at by his classmates for cheating, overwhelmed him. Taking a shaky breath, he kept his eyes off the teacher and nodded, “Yes, Ms. Cathy. Every word is mine.” Ms. Cathy nodded, seemingly satisfied, and patted his shoulder, “That’s great. Your genuine hard work will pay off. This essay has a unique perspective, and I’m sure it will shine at the municipal contest.” But Jack didn’t feel any joy. On the contrary, a sense of guilt weighed heavily on him. That night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The lie he had told kept echoing in his ears. He thought about Ms. Cathy’s trusting eyes, about the meaning of the competition, and about how proud he would have felt if he had written the essay himself. He was torn between the fear of being exposed and the desire to do the right thing. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day to announce the results of the contest came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office. His hands trembled as he knocked on the door. When Ms. Cathy looked up, he took a deep breath and confessed, “I didn’t write the essay myself — I used AI.” Tears welled up in his eyes as he explained his struggle with writing and his regret. To his surprise, Ms. Cathy smiled gently. “Honesty takes courage, Jack,” she said. “Let’s work together to improve your writing skills. The competition is about growth, not just winning.” Relieved, Jack felt a weight lift off his shoulders. The day to announce the results of the contest came. Though Jack’s essay was disqualified, Ms. Cathy praised his integrity in front of the class. Later, she handed him a new assignment — a handwritten essay on “The Value of Honesty.” This time, Jack poured his heart into it. Weeks later, his revised work won a school award. Standing on the stage, he realized true success came not from shortcuts, but from effort and honesty. The applause he received felt sweeter than any trophy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在英语写作比赛中依赖AI作弊的杰克，因赞赏陷入良心不安，最终选择向老师坦白真相，并在重新参赛后通过自身努力获得成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，杰克去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写杰克和老师在办公室对话的内容以及动作和心理描写等。 ②由第二段首句内容“宣布比赛结果的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写比赛结果和杰克的心理状态以及老师和同学们的反应。 2.续写线索：比赛作弊——坦白真想——老师教诲——新作参赛——获得奖项——感悟深刻 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shiver/shake ②坦白：confess/reveal/disclose ③提高：improve/enhance/raise 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement/astonishment ②如释重负的：relieved/relaxed/unburdened 【点睛】【高分句型1】Though Jack’s essay was disqualified, Ms. Cathy praised his integrity in front of the class.(运用了though引导的让步状语从句)  【高分句型1】Standing on the stage, he realized true success came not from shortcuts, but from effort and honesty.(运用了现在分词作状语和省略that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
