Fiorentini (Rutherford) Named for the people of Florence, Fiorentini is a delight. The menu changes seasonally, and the dishes make you feel like you just crossed the Ponte Vecchio for your favorite Italian meal. They get much of their produce from local New Jersey farms and sustainably design the menu based on what’s available. Lula (Ridgewood) Serving New American cuisine, the restaurant offers fine dining that’s done simply, letting the food speak for itself, says Browne, who previously cooked at Turtle & the Wolf in Montclair. He uses seasonal, sustainable ingredients and delivers the kinds of dishes that people keep coming back for, such as the flavorful prime coulotte steak. 1.

Most of my childhood was spent in my grandma’s 75 year old house, which was constructed from two old, worn-out railway cars with added rooms. I can only remember my Mom buying me new clothes twice. The other times I was given my two brothers’ hand-me-downs. Yet, I never felt ashamed because of this. I possessed few toys — just a bike, a basketball, and a football. In summer I had the outdoors and my imagination to play in. In winter, I had the wood stove to sit by with my shelf full of old books to read. We never went hungry, though. We raised pigs for meat and had 4 huge gardens that gave us vegetables throughout the year. And every Sunday afternoon after church my dear Nana and Mom would make us a huge dinner with pasta, potatoes, meatballs, chicken, and even steaks. It was a feast that filled the soul as well as the belly. Most of all, our house had a lot of laughter, a lot of smiles, and a lot of joy, which were the things that made us truly rich. The truth is if I could go back in time to my childhood, I would try to be more thankful for every meal, for every smile, for every hug, and for every moment of love we shared. The truth is that happiness is not what makes us thankful. It is thankfulness that makes us happy. When you look back on your own childhood, then be grateful. It made you who you are today. May all of your days be filled with gratitude. May all of your days be filled with love. May all of your days be filled with the happiness you create with each choice you make. 4. How did the author usually get his clothes as a child? A. He took them over from his older brothers. B. He received them from his brothers as gifts. C. His clothes were handmade by his brothers. D. His clothes were mostly bought by his mother. 5. What might the author cherish most about his family? A. The old but cozy house his family lived in. B. The religious practices and church gatherings. C. The abundant food and special Sunday dinners. D. The shared moments of joy that his family had. 6. What might the author do if he could return to his childhood? A. Spend more time with his family. B. Give back to the ones who had helped him. C. Learn from past experience to make changes. D. Show more appreciation for his family’s daily care. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Lesson from Life. B. Simplicity in Material. C. Gratitude-Driven Happiness. D. Poverty in Childhood. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆童年物质虽匮乏但充满爱与欢乐，强调感恩带来幸福。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The other times I was given my two brothers’ hand-me-downs.(其他时候，我穿的是我两个哥哥穿过的旧衣服)”可知，作者小时候的衣服通常是从他哥哥那里继承来的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most of all, our house had a lot of laughter, a lot of smiles, and a lot of joy, which were the things that made us truly rich.(最重要的是，我们的家里充满了笑声、微笑和欢乐，这些才是让我们真正富有的东西)”可知，作者最珍视的是家庭中共享的欢乐时光。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The truth is if I could go back in time to my childhood, I would try to be more thankful for every meal, for every smile, for every hug, and for every moment of love we shared.(事实上，如果我能回到童年，我会更加感激每一顿饭，每一个微笑，每一个拥抱，以及我们分享的每一刻爱)”可知，如果作者能回到童年，他会更加感激家人日常的关爱。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The truth is that happiness is not what makes us thankful.

However, she avoids using AI to do her homework and limits her interactions to everyday questions. “Everyone uses AI for everything now. It’s really taking over,” said Kayla. “I think kids use AI to get out of thinking.” But many teenagers say they are increasingly interacting with AI as if it were a companion, capable of providing advice and friendship. More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and hear turn to them for help regularly, according to a new Media from Common Sense study. For the last couple of years, concerns about cheating at school have dominated the conversation around kids and AI. But artificial intelligence is playing a much larger role in many of their lives, becoming a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, every day decision-making and problem-solving. In the Common Sense Media survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends. Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, warns that Adolescence is a crucial time for developing identity and social skills, and AI companions should complement — not replace — real-world interaction. “If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being favored without being challenged, not learning to consider other perspectives, they may not be adequately prepared in the real world,” he said. Researchers and educators worry about the cognitive costs for youths who rely heavily on AI, especially in their creativity, critical thinking and social skills. “All of us are struck by how quickly this blew up,” said Eva Telzer, a psychology and neuroscience professor. “I could see a kid that grows up with AI not seeing a reason to go to the park or try to make a friend. I’m worried that kids could get lost in it.” 8. What does Kayla think of the use of AI among kids? A. It gives them some advice and comfort. B. It helps them escape from mental labor. C. It pulls them back from the daily chores. D. It enables them to get away from the reality. 9. How has the AI affected the teenagers? A. Most of them have become entirely dependent on it. B. Some of them have significantly improved their social skills. C. Some of them have experienced different levels of satisfaction. D. Most of them have effectively solved the problem of loneliness. 10. According to Robb, what is a possible risk of youth relying on AI companions? A. Getting lost in a virtual world. B. Missing out on practical skills. C. Losing the ability of making friends. D. Lacking preparation for the real world. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To warn parents of the dangers of AI. B. To analyze the mixed impact of AI on teens. C. To inform the current trend of AI use in schools. D. To call for the ban on the use of AI among teens. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍青少年使用AI伴侣的现状，阐述其影响并提及专家的相关担忧。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I think kids use AI to get out of thinking.(我认为孩子们使用人工智能是为了逃避思考)”可知，凯拉认为孩子们使用人工智能是为了逃避脑力劳动。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the Common Sense Media survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends.(在常识媒体的调查中，31%的青少年表示，他们与人工智能伴侣的对话“和与真实朋友交谈一样令人满意或更令人满意”)”可知，一些青少年在与人工智能伴侣的对话中体验到了不同程度的满足感。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being favored without being challenged, not learning to consider other perspectives, they may not be adequately prepared in the real world(如果青少年在人工智能平台上发展社交技能，在那里他们总是受到青睐而不受挑战，不学会考虑其他观点，那么他们在现实世界中可能没有做好充分的准备)”可知，青少年依赖人工智能伴侣可能面临的风险是对现实世界缺乏准备。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But artificial intelligence is playing a much larger role in many of their lives, becoming a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, every day decision-making and problem-solving.(但人工智能在许多青少年的生活中扮演着更重要的角色，成为个人建议、情感支持、日常决策和解决问题的首选来源)”以及第六段“Researchers and educators worry about the cognitive costs for youths who rely heavily on AI, especially in their creativity, critical thinking and social skills.(研究人员和教育工作者担心，严重依赖人工智能的青少年在认知上会付出代价，尤其是在创造力、批判性思维和社交技能方面)”可知，文章既提到了人工智能对青少年的积极影响，也提到了消极影响，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是分析人工智能对青少年的混合影响。故选B。 D Low creatine (肌酸) can affect brain development even if one takes muscle supplements, which may not effectively raise brain creatine levels. Professor Chen, one of the researchers, hopes their new ultrasound (超声) method, which uses focused waves to send creatine directly to brain cells, will revive learning, memory, and speech in patients who still struggle even after being given creatine supplements. Inside the brain, creatine plays a key role in generating cell energy. It helps produce a substance that powers nearly every function in living cells. Beyond energy, creatine also influences the way brain cells communicate, managing brain activity linked to learning, memory and brain development. Emerging research also suggests creatine may be transported to nerve cells and play a role in signaling between brain cells. When creatine levels are low, the impact can go beyond weakened muscles or heart function. A deficiency can severely hurt brain development. While creatine supplements help patients gain weight and muscle mass, many still experience developmental delays in speech, reading, and writing. This is largely caused by the brain’s protective blood-brain barrier. This selective barrier blocks poisonous materials and prevents beneficial nutrients like creatine from reaching the brain when levels are low. Professor Wu leads the research on curative focused ultrasound, which directs sound waves to areas of the brain to which access has been opened briefly. The process allows drugs to reach diseased tissue without harming surrounding healthy cells. While Wu is investigating its potential for children’s brain cancer, he also sees potential in applying it to creatine deficiency. “Through the partnership between Virginia Tech and Children’s National Hospital, I was able to present our work.” Wu said. “It was exciting to find a lab where I could move from basic research to something that could help patients.” said Chen. 12. Which of the following is a function of creatine according to the passage? A. It serves as a key source of energy for cells. B. It can entirely replace the need for supplements. C. It helps protect the brain from harmful substances. D. It mainly works by repairing damaged brain nerves. 13. What does the underlined word “deficiency” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Fault. B. Shortage. C. Disorder. D. Loss. 14. How does focused ultrasound help deliver creatine to the brain? A. By opening the blood-brain barrier. B. By increasing muscles to boost creatine levels. C. By using sound waves to access specific brain areas. D. By replacing the need for oral creatine supplements. 15. What does the author imply in the last three paragraphs? A. The importance of partnership in medical research. B. The guaranteed restoration of patients’ brain function. C. The success of focused ultrasound in medical applications. D. The research’s transition from basic discovery to clinical use. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍肌酸在大脑发育中起着关键作用，肌酸水平低会影响大脑发育，而传统肌酸补充剂因血脑屏障难以有效提升大脑肌酸水平，新的超声方法有望解决这一问题，并阐述了该研究从基础到临床应用的进展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Inside the brain, creatine plays a key role in generating cell energy. It helps produce a substance that powers nearly every function in living cells.(在大脑内部，肌酸在产生细胞能量方面起着关键作用。它有助于产生一种为活细胞几乎所有功能提供动力的物质)”可知，肌酸是细胞能量的关键来源之一，故选A项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“When creatine levels are low, the impact can go beyond weakened muscles or heart function. A deficiency can severely hurt brain development.(当肌酸水平较低时，影响可能不仅限于肌肉或心脏功能减弱。deficiency会严重损害大脑发育)”可知，“deficiency”与前文“creatine levels are low”意思相近，指肌酸的缺乏，故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Professor Wu leads the research on curative focused ultrasound, which directs sound waves to areas of the brain to which access has been opened briefly.(吴教授领导了关于治疗性聚焦超声的研究，该研究将声波引导至大脑中短暂开放的区域)”可知，聚焦超声通过将声波引导至特定脑区来帮助将肌酸输送到大脑。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Professor Wu leads the research on curative focused ultrasound, which directs sound waves to areas of the brain to which access has been opened briefly. The process allows drugs to reach diseased tissue without harming surrounding healthy cells. While Wu is investigating its potential for children’s brain cancer, he also sees potential in applying it to creatine deficiency.(吴教授主导了关于治疗性聚焦超声的研究，该技术将声波导向大脑中短暂开放的区域。这一过程能让药物抵达病变组织，同时不会损害周围的健康细胞。目前吴教授正在研究该技术用于治疗儿童脑癌的潜力，他也认为将其应用于解决肌酸缺乏问题同样具有潜力)”以及倒数第二段“Through the partnership between Virginia Tech and Children’s National Hospital, I was able to present our work.(通过弗吉尼亚理工大学与儿童国家医院的合作，我得以展示我们的研究成果)”最后一段“It was exciting to find a lab where I could move from basic research to something that could help patients.(“很高兴能找到一个实验室，在这里我可以从基础研究转向能够帮助患者的研究”)”可知，作者暗示了该研究从基础发现到临床应用的转变。故选D项。 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。 Faced with disagreements, people are often advised to “put themselves in others' shoes” and “have compassion” to foster understanding and reduce conflict. These methods, however, often fail in practice since we can’t read minds. A more reliable strategy is to focus on what we can control: our speech. ____16____ Here are some specific tips for using better language in a disagreement. Signal a desire to learn. The simplest way to signal curiosity is saying you are curious. For example, once you recognize that your counterpart disagrees with you, you could say: “Hey, it seems we are seeing this differently. I am curious how you think about XYZ.” ____17____ You could say: “I believe there are different ways of thinking about this, but I’d love to better understand where you are coming from.” ____18____ By definition, anyone speaking wants to be understood. And in conflict, people often worry they are not even being heard. Recognition is an easy gift you can give to others — even if you don’t agree, you can show others you have received their message. State your views with caution. ____19____ Try to be humble by expressing your claims and leaving open the possibility that you could be wrong. A series of studies have demonstrated a person who recognizes a complex issue has multiple sides is more likely to be seen as thoughtful and knowledgeable. Share your story. In a disagreement, sharing the personal stories behind your views can build more trust than just arguing facts. One study asked opposing sides to decide how to share a resource. Those who shared a relevant personal story were trusted more and seen as more cooperative than those who only used data. ____20____ A. Notice how others feel. B. Acknowledge the other side. C. Don’t blindly assume that you are definitely right. D. This approach can increase trust and foster cooperation. E. Thus, we should be trained to carefully adjust our words. F. Showing the openness doesn’t mean abandoning your own argument. G. Those who were in common with the painful experience won the support. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述分歧时可靠策略是注意言语，并给出具体语言使用技巧。 【16题详解】 上文“These methods, however, often fail in practice since we can’t read minds. A more reliable strategy is to focus on what we can control: our speech.(然而这些方法在实践中往往行不通，因为我们不能读懂人心。一个更可靠的策略是专注于我们能控制的：我们的言语)”说明分歧时应关注自身言语。空后“Here are some specific tips for using better language in a disagreement.(这里有一些在分歧中使用更好语言的具体技巧)”引出具体语言使用建议。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明应调整言语。选项E“Thus, we should be trained to carefully adjust our words.(因此，我们应该被训练仔细调整我们的话语)”符合语境。E选项承接前文关注言语的内容，引出后文具体技巧，与上下文内容相呼应，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文“Hey, it seems we are seeing this differently. I am curious how you think about XYZ.(嘿，我们似乎对此看法不同。我很好奇你如何看待 XYZ)”给出表达好奇的示例。空后“I believe there are different ways of thinking about this, but I’d love to better understand where you are coming from.(我认为对此有不同的思考方式，但我很想更好地理解你的想法)”是另一种表达开放态度的说法。空处起到衔接作用，说明开放态度不代表放弃自身观点。选项F“Showing the openness doesn’t mean abandoning your own argument.(表现出开放并不意味着放弃你自己的观点)”符合语境。F选项衔接前后两个表达开放的句子，解释开放态度的内涵，与上下文内容相呼应，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 下文“By definition, anyone speaking wants to be understood. And in conflict, people often worry they are not even being heard. Recognition is an easy gift you can give to others — even if you don’t agree, you can show others you have received their message.(从定义上讲，任何说话的人都希望被理解。在冲突中，人们常常担心自己甚至没有被倾听。认可是你能给他人的简单礼物 —— 即使你不同意，你也可以向他人表明你收到了他们的信息)”强调要认可、理解对方的观点。空处为本段小标题，应概括本段核心内容。选项B“Acknowledge the other side.(认可对方)”符合语境。B选项精准概括本段认可他人观点的主旨，与下文内容相呼应，适合作为小标题。故选B。 【19题详解】 上文小标题“State your views with caution.(谨慎地陈述你的观点)”点明本段主旨。空后“Try to be humble by expressing your claims and leaving open the possibility that you could be wrong.(表达你的观点时要谦逊，并承认自己可能出错的可能性)”说明陈述观点要谦逊，不绝对正确。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明不要盲目认定自己绝对正确。选项C“Don’t blindly assume that you are definitely right.(不要盲目地认为你绝对是对的)”承接本段谨慎陈述观点的主旨，引出后文谦逊表达的建议，与上下文内容相呼应，符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 上文“Those who shared a relevant personal story were trusted more and seen as more cooperative than those who only used data.(那些分享相关个人故事的人比只使用数据的人更受信任，也被认为更具合作精神)”说明分享个人故事的好处。空处总结这种做法的效果。选项D“This approach can increase trust and foster cooperation.(这种方法可以增加信任并促进合作)”中的“This approach”指代前文分享个人故事的做法，总结其作用，与上下文内容相呼应，符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，选出可以填入空处的最佳选项。 As Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, the laughter and talk from the four girls inside her car quickly turned into screams.

She taught me that the real education was about revealing the dignity (尊严) in every person. More importantly, she had a gift for making each of us feel truly valued. Years later, with Mrs. Ruth as my model, I became a teacher of a community college (社区学院). Among my students was a quiet woman, a mother of three who worked the night shift as a medical assistant. She decided to come here for further study after her son died of leukemia (白血病) last year. In her essays, she often wrote about him — about his courage, his smile during treatment, and the world that felt too large without him. Sometimes, when she was sharing a memory in class, her voice would tremble, and she would quickly apologize. I saw the tiredness in her eyes, a mix of grief, night shifts, and the demands of raising her other children. But she never missed a class, even through snowstorms. The leader of the college’s academic programs stopped me one day to share that the grieving mother had told her our classroom felt like a shelter. It was then I understood that my class was offering her something more important than a grade. “I believe you are truly getting through to them,” the leader remarked. I was grateful for those encouraging words. However, my eyes would often return to that mother. When she showed me her imperfect papers, I wondered: Was I truly reaching her? Was I helping her carry her burden, or was I just another teacher correcting her grammar? I repeatedly reflected on what I had done for her. Then came the final day when every student in class was required to hand in a final essay. It was her paper I awaited with the most expectation, and a touch of nervousness. On that day, she stayed behind as others left. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Shall we read it together?” I suggested quietly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 On that day, she stayed behind as others left. Approaching my desk cautiously, she handed me her paper with fingers trembling slightly. “This is my final essay.” she whispered, eyes avoiding mine. “I hope it’s okay.” In her uneasy eyes, I spotted my younger self, anxious before Mrs. Ruth. I took it gently. The title read, “A Letter to My Son.” Before I could speak, she added softly, “Thank you for all that you have done for me. I’ve never felt alone with my memories.” Her voice was quiet but clear, carrying a weight far beyond ordinary gratitude. “Shall we read it together?” I suggested quietly. Pulling another chair closer, I smiled to her. She hesitated, and then took a seat beside me. As I began to read aloud, her words unfolded like a quiet conversation across time-not an assignment, but a mother’s heart laid bare on the page. One line stood out, simple yet profound: Writing about you isn’t goodbye. It’s how I take you forward with me. My vision blurred. In that shared silence, I finally got what Mrs. Ruth passed on to me: teaching is about honoring the stories they carry and help someone find the courage to move forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，围绕作者与一位经历丧子之痛的学生在课堂内外的互动展开，通过一次期末论文的递交与共读，揭示了教育不仅是知识的传授，更是情感的理解与生命的共鸣，深刻诠释了“教育即唤醒尊严”的主题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天，当其他人陆续离开时，她留在了原地。”可知，第一段可描写这位母亲在学生离开后单独递交论文时的神情、动作与话语，展现她内心的紧张、感激与信任。 ②由第二段首句内容““我们一起来读一下好吗？”我轻声提议。”可知，第二段可描写两人共同阅读论文的过程，突出文中情感张力及作者由此引发的对教育本质的顿悟。 2.续写线索： 单独递交论文——展现不安与感激——提议共读——朗读中情感涌动——领悟教育真谛——回扣恩师Mrs. Ruth的精神传承 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①递交：hand/submit ②轻声说：whisper/murmur/say in a low voice ③传递：pass on/transmit 情绪类： ①不安的：uneasy/anxious ②感激之情：gratitude/appreciation/heartfelt thanks [高分句型1] In her uneasy eyes, I spotted my younger self, anxious before Mrs. Ruth.（运用了形容词短语 anxious before Mrs. Ruth作状语） [高分句型2] Her voice was quiet but clear, carrying a weight far beyond ordinary gratitude.（运用了现在分词carrying作伴随状语，） [高分句型3] As I began to read aloud, her words unfolded like a quiet conversation across time — not an assignment, but a mother’s heart laid bare on the page.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年(上)期末考试高2027届英语试题 考试说明：1．考试时间120分钟。 2．试题总分150分。 3．试卷页数10页。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The following recommendations feature extraordinary food, service and atmosphere, and will present an unforgettable dining experience for any New Jerseyan. Just enjoy! Ember & Eagle (Eatontown) Open for just a few months, Ember & Eagle, has already become a go-to dining destination in Eatontown. This Italian steakhouse serves all of its award-winning chef’s favorites. Located in a former mansion at Suneagles Golf Club, Ember & Eagle recently added a new dining room downstairs near the gorgeous stone fireplace. Park Place Prime (Atlantic City) For a city by the sea, Atlantic City offers surprisingly few opportunities to enjoy fine dining and ocean views at the same time. This year-old restaurant on the sixth floor of Bally’s is one of those few. Insist on a window booth, plus seafood specialties, accompanied by a classic wedge salad. Fiorentini (Rutherford) Named for the people of Florence, Fiorentini is a delight. The menu changes seasonally, and the dishes make you feel like you just crossed the Ponte Vecchio for your favorite Italian meal. They get much of their produce from local New Jersey farms and sustainably design the menu based on what’s available. Lula (Ridgewood) Serving New American cuisine, the restaurant offers fine dining that’s done simply, letting the food speak for itself, says Browne, who previously cooked at Turtle & the Wolf in Montclair. He uses seasonal, sustainable ingredients and delivers the kinds of dishes that people keep coming back for, such as the flavorful prime coulotte steak. 1. If you are a seafood lover, which restaurant will you possibly choose? A. Ember & Eagle. B. Park Place Prime. C. Fiorentini. D. Lula. 2. What do Fiorentini and Lula have in common? A.

In which section of the website can you find the text? A. Travel and Entertainment. B. Readers’ Feedback. C. Cuisine Recommendations. D. Restaurants Around the World. B As a boy, I grew up with little material wealth. Most of my childhood was spent in my grandma’s 75 year old house, which was constructed from two old, worn-out railway cars with added rooms. I can only remember my Mom buying me new clothes twice. The other times I was given my two brothers’ hand-me-downs. Yet, I never felt ashamed because of this. I possessed few toys — just a bike, a basketball, and a football. In summer I had the outdoors and my imagination to play in. In winter, I had the wood stove to sit by with my shelf full of old books to read. We never went hungry, though. We raised pigs for meat and had 4 huge gardens that gave us vegetables throughout the year. And every Sunday afternoon after church my dear Nana and Mom would make us a huge dinner with pasta, potatoes, meatballs, chicken, and even steaks. It was a feast that filled the soul as well as the belly. Most of all, our house had a lot of laughter, a lot of smiles, and a lot of joy, which were the things that made us truly rich. The truth is if I could go back in time to my childhood, I would try to be more thankful for every meal, for every smile, for every hug, and for every moment of love we shared. The truth is that happiness is not what makes us thankful. It is thankfulness that makes us happy. When you look back on your own childhood, then be grateful. It made you who you are today. May all of your days be filled with gratitude. May all of your days be filled with love. May all of your days be filled with the happiness you create with each choice you make. 4. How did the author usually get his clothes as a child? A. He took them over from his older brothers. B. He received them from his brothers as gifts. C. His clothes were handmade by his brothers. D. His clothes were mostly bought by his mother. 5. What might the author cherish most about his family? A. The old but cozy house his family lived in. B. The religious practices and church gatherings. C. The abundant food and special Sunday dinners. D. The shared moments of joy that his family had. 6. What might the author do if he could return to his childhood? A. Spend more time with his family. B. Give back to the ones who had helped him. C. Learn from past experience to make changes. D. Show more appreciation for his family’s daily care. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Lesson from Life. B. Simplicity in Material. C. Gratitude-Driven Happiness. D. Poverty in Childhood. C When it comes to back-to-school shopping or choosing makeup colors, the high school student Kayla asks ChatGPT for guidance. However, she avoids using AI to do her homework and limits her interactions to everyday questions. “Everyone uses AI for everything now. It’s really taking over,” said Kayla. “I think kids use AI to get out of thinking.” But many teenagers say they are increasingly interacting with AI as if it were a companion, capable of providing advice and friendship. More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and hear turn to them for help regularly, according to a new Media from Common Sense study. For the last couple of years, concerns about cheating at school have dominated the conversation around kids and AI. But artificial intelligence is playing a much larger role in many of their lives, becoming a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, every day decision-making and problem-solving. In the Common Sense Media survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends. Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, warns that Adolescence is a crucial time for developing identity and social skills, and AI companions should complement — not replace — real-world interaction. “If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being favored without being challenged, not learning to consider other perspectives, they may not be adequately prepared in the real world,” he said. Researchers and educators worry about the cognitive costs for youths who rely heavily on AI, especially in their creativity, critical thinking and social skills. “All of us are struck by how quickly this blew up,” said Eva Telzer, a psychology and neuroscience professor. “I could see a kid that grows up with AI not seeing a reason to go to the park or try to make a friend. I’m worried that kids could get lost in it.” 8. What does Kayla think of the use of AI among kids? A. It gives them some advice and comfort. B. It helps them escape from mental labor. C. It pulls them back from the daily chores. D. It enables them to get away from the reality. 9. How has the AI affected the teenagers? A. Most of them have become entirely dependent on it. B. Some of them have significantly improved their social skills. C. Some of them have experienced different levels of satisfaction. D. Most of them have effectively solved the problem of loneliness. 10. According to Robb, what is a possible risk of youth relying on AI companions? A. Getting lost in a virtual world. B. Missing out on practical skills. C. Losing the ability of making friends. D. Lacking preparation for the real world. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To warn parents of the dangers of AI. B. To analyze the mixed impact of AI on teens. C. To inform the current trend of AI use in schools. D. To call for the ban on the use of AI among teens. D Low creatine (肌酸) can affect brain development even if one takes muscle supplements, which may not effectively raise brain creatine levels. Professor Chen, one of the researchers, hopes their new ultrasound (超声) method, which uses focused waves to send creatine directly to brain cells, will revive learning, memory, and speech in patients who still struggle even after being given creatine supplements. Inside the brain, creatine plays a key role in generating cell energy. It helps produce a substance that powers nearly every function in living cells. Beyond energy, creatine also influences the way brain cells communicate, managing brain activity linked to learning, memory and brain development. Emerging research also suggests creatine may be transported to nerve cells and play a role in signaling between brain cells. When creatine levels are low, the impact can go beyond weakened muscles or heart function. A deficiency can severely hurt brain development. While creatine supplements help patients gain weight and muscle mass, many still experience developmental delays in speech, reading, and writing. This is largely caused by the brain’s protective blood-brain barrier. This selective barrier blocks poisonous materials and prevents beneficial nutrients like creatine from reaching the brain when levels are low. Professor Wu leads the research on curative focused ultrasound, which directs sound waves to areas of the brain to which access has been opened briefly. The process allows drugs to reach diseased tissue without harming surrounding healthy cells. While Wu is investigating its potential for children’s brain cancer, he also sees potential in applying it to creatine deficiency. “Through the partnership between Virginia Tech and Children’s National Hospital, I was able to present our work.” Wu said. “It was exciting to find a lab where I could move from basic research to something that could help patients.” said Chen. 12. Which of the following is a function of creatine according to the passage? A. It serves as a key source of energy for cells. B. It can entirely replace the need for supplements. C.

These methods, however, often fail in practice since we can’t read minds. A more reliable strategy is to focus on what we can control: our speech. ____16____ Here are some specific tips for using better language in a disagreement. Signal a desire to learn. The simplest way to signal curiosity is saying you are curious. For example, once you recognize that your counterpart disagrees with you, you could say: “Hey, it seems we are seeing this differently. I am curious how you think about XYZ.” ____17____ You could say: “I believe there are different ways of thinking about this, but I’d love to better understand where you are coming from.” ____18____ By definition, anyone speaking wants to be understood. And in conflict, people often worry they are not even being heard. Recognition is an easy gift you can give to others — even if you don’t agree, you can show others you have received their message. State your views with caution. ____19____ Try to be humble by expressing your claims and leaving open the possibility that you could be wrong. A series of studies have demonstrated a person who recognizes a complex issue has multiple sides is more likely to be seen as thoughtful and knowledgeable. Share your story. In a disagreement, sharing the personal stories behind your views can build more trust than just arguing facts. One study asked opposing sides to decide how to share a resource. Those who shared a relevant personal story were trusted more and seen as more cooperative than those who only used data. ____20____ A. Notice how others feel. B. Acknowledge the other side. C. Don’t blindly assume that you are definitely right. D. This approach can increase trust and foster cooperation. E. Thus, we should be trained to carefully adjust our words. F. Showing the openness doesn’t mean abandoning your own argument. G. Those who were in common with the painful experience won the support. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，选出可以填入空处的最佳选项。 As Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, the laughter and talk from the four girls inside her car quickly turned into screams.

She taught me that the real education was about revealing the dignity (尊严) in every person. More importantly, she had a gift for making each of us feel truly valued. Years later, with Mrs. Ruth as my model, I became a teacher of a community college (社区学院). Among my students was a quiet woman, a mother of three who worked the night shift as a medical assistant. She decided to come here for further study after her son died of leukemia (白血病) last year. In her essays, she often wrote about him — about his courage, his smile during treatment, and the world that felt too large without him. Sometimes, when she was sharing a memory in class, her voice would tremble, and she would quickly apologize. I saw the tiredness in her eyes, a mix of grief, night shifts, and the demands of raising her other children. But she never missed a class, even through snowstorms. The leader of the college’s academic programs stopped me one day to share that the grieving mother had told her our classroom felt like a shelter. It was then I understood that my class was offering her something more important than a grade. “I believe you are truly getting through to them,” the leader remarked. I was grateful for those encouraging words. However, my eyes would often return to that mother. When she showed me her imperfect papers, I wondered: Was I truly reaching her? Was I helping her carry her burden, or was I just another teacher correcting her grammar? I repeatedly reflected on what I had done for her. Then came the final day when every student in class was required to hand in a final essay. It was her paper I awaited with the most expectation, and a touch of nervousness. On that day, she stayed behind as others left. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Shall we read it together?” I suggested quietly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
