B To most people, the “Mind the gap” announcement is just the daily chatter on the London Underground. But for McCollum, the three words bring back the voice of someone she loved and lost: her husband, Oswald Laurence. Laurence passed away in 2007, and McCollum would often travel to Embankment tube station just to hear his voice. Eighteen years later, she continues the journey. In the 1960s, Laurence was selected by the London Underground to record the “Mind the gap” announcement, heard by millions of commuters for decades. Over time, most stations adopted a new voice, but Embankment retained the original — it was McCollum’s special spot to remember her husband. Yet in November 2012, Laurence’s voice was unexpectedly replaced during system upgrades. “I used to wait for the next train to hear his voice,” McCollum recalled. “Suddenly one day it wasn’t his voice. I said to my friend, ‘What happened to Oswald’s voice?’ The tape had broken?” She added, “I felt slightly panicky and a bit anxious.” McCollum spoke to the guard on the platform, who confirmed they had a new PA system and voice. Shocked and tearful, McCollum contacted Transport for London and asked if it could restore the original announcement. Moved by her story, the staff at Transport for London promised to try and help. They made good on their promise. Just two weeks later, the staff had created a CD of the original recording and restored Laurence’s voice to the announcement. “I love the fact that he’s back there and I can listen to him,” said McCollum. “It does bring him very close to me.” She added, “I would have been heartsick if they had not managed to bring him back.” Laurence’s legacy and love live on. Passengers on the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station can still hear his iconic voice telling them to “Mind the gap.” And the station remains a comforting place for McCollum, who continues to visit whenever she wants to feel close to her late husband. 4. Why did Margaret McCollum often go to Embankment tube station? A. To take the Northern Line train. B. To listen to her late husband’s voice. C. To meet her friend who worked there. D. To report a problem with the PA system. 5. What can we infer about the staff at Transport for London? A. They always keep old recordings. B. They responded warmly to the story. C. They often change station announcements. D. They knew McCollum’s husband personally. 6. Where could passengers still hear Laurence’s original voice after 2012? A. Nowhere: the voice was permanently deleted. B. At all stations that had kept the old PA system. C. On every line of the London Underground tube station. D. On the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station. 7. The best title for this passage could be ________. A. A Famous Voice B. A System Upgrade C. Love, Lost and Found D. London’s Tube History C What’s best: a new phone or a day out with friends? Is it better to spend money to buy things or to do things? A UK study found six in ten consumers would rather spend their money on experiences than material possessions (物品). Those aged 18-34 reported spending the highest amount on entertainment activities. Possessions can last for many years, while experiences are temporary. This, however, might be the wrong way to look at things. Psychology professor Thomas Gilovich discovered the happiness that objects provide can fade quickly. We adapt to having new possessions, so that rather than being something we are excited by, they just become our new normal. A holiday or a day out may have a short duration, but the happiness it provides can last much longer. Waiting for our latest purchases to be delivered is frustrating, but waiting for an exciting event gives us a feeling of anticipation. Experiences are often shared, so we gain pleasure from social connection and time spent with other people. Memories of our experiences become part of our identity. As Gilovich points out, we are the sum of our experiences. Indeed, the very fact that experiences last for a limited time can give them value. Physical goods deteriorate over time, while our memories of an experience can give us pleasure year after year. Of course, it’s not always that simple. Other studies have suggested that happiness gained from experiences might depend on your personality type, and how many possessions you already have. People with more quiet personality types may get less benefit from social occasions and those with few possessions may get greater benefit from objects. However, for many of us, it could be that when choosing how to spend our spare income, we’ll get far more benefit by spending on something to do, rather than something to have. 8. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give an example. C. To provide a definition. D. To present an argument. 9. Why does the happiness from objects fade quickly according to Thomas Gilovich? A. Objects are not as meaningful as experiences in people’s life. B. People get used to new possessions and they become ordinary. C. People often compare their possessions with those of other people. D. Objects start to lose their value the moment they are bought by people. 10. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Get worse. B. Stay the same. C. Prove practical. D. Become better. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards spending money on experiences? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Negative. D Fields Medal winner Akshay Venkatesh was once asked: “In a world where AI can answer everything for you, is mathematics still worth studying?” He presented AI as a chance to address a fundamental gap that has grown between how mathematics is practiced and what we truly value-understanding. Mathematics is often called a “universal language”. Yet, as the field has expanded far beyond the basic numbers and shapes learned during the pre-college years, there is no single chart can be used to explore the vastness. Mathematics has become increasingly divided. It is now organized into 63 major categories and 529 subfields, each with its own language that takes years to learn. In a mathematical research paper, authors use the word “we”, which refers to both the writers and the readers. Because to really understand a mathematical argument, readers must recreate it for themselves in their own heads. In other words, mathematical communication goes at the pace of mathematical understanding. Mathematician William Thurston wrote, “We should focus much more energy on understanding and explaining the basic ideas of mathematics, rather than only on the latest results.” He suggests developing “mathematical language that is effective for conveying ideas to people who don’t already know them” and providing more opportunities for communication training and practice. In a world where AI is getting smarter and smarter, Venkatesh asked, “Why do we still need to prove things?” Thurston put it simply: people will always want to understand why something is true, not just a machine’s confirmation. What truly matters is how mathematical ideas enrich and change the way humans see and relate to the world. Even if an AI can tell people what is true, there will always be more to understand about why. 12. Why does the author mention the numbers “63” and “529” in the passage? A. To prove that mathematics is a universal language. B. To compare the development of AI and mathematics. C. To show the great expansion and division of mathematics. D. To emphasize the goal of mastering the specialized languages. 13. What does the use of “we” in papers indicate according to the text? A. The joint efforts of mathematicians and readers. B. The author’s attempt to stimulate readers’ curiosity. C. A common way to write mathematical research papers. D. The need for readers’ mental involvement to understand. 14. According to the passage, how does AI change the role of mathematicians? A. It makes them focus more on checking the results. B. It requires them to learn advanced computer skills. C. It turns their focus to explaining why things are true. D It causes less communication between them and the public. 15. Where is the passage most likely taken from? A. A science fiction. B. A science magazine. C. A textbook. D. An encyclopedia. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分7.5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。 I have been teaching the identical course to undergraduate and graduate students from various majors, like finance and medicine for 15 years. Although my lecture materials and teaching methods have stayed unchanged, student evaluations last year hit a record high. ____16____ What, then, led to this remarkable improvement? The key change was the introduction of a strict policy on electronic devices. Laptops and smartphones were banned for note-taking, with just one exception: devices were allowed only if students were writing with a digital pen. ____17____ They claimed devices were essential for notes or reference, arguing that digital tools were indispensable for study efficiency. However, after a short period of adaptation, almost all students noticed their ability to concentrate had improved positively. To explain why this policy worked, I shared relevant research with the students. One study showed that students who took notes by hand remembered about 35% more content than those who typed on portable computers. ____18____ The mental effort required for handwriting helps students gain a deeper understanding of the material. In addition, another study with 480 participants found that students who placed their phones on their desks scored 18% lower on focus-related tasks than those who put their phones away. ____19____ More evidence demonstrates that cell phones, even in a powered-off state, reduce individuals’ mental capacity and weaken the quality of face-to-face conversations. ____20____ I hold the view that universities should take the same measures to boost students’ academic performance, since this simple but powerful approach creates a more attentive and interactive learning environment for everyone. A. This data shows focus needs a boost. B. They feared losing notes or urgent calls. C. Most middle and high schools have become phone-free. D. Constructive remarks on focus and course quality poured in. E. Writing by hand requires active thinking; typing is often mindless. F. This proves that phone nearby has an effect on students’ performance. G. Predictably, students immediately doubted and opposed this decision at first. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Early spring in the Northwest often brings surprises.

Without her friends, this little duck wouldn’t have ____33____ another night. She, ____34____, had kept that area of water open, so her friends had a place to stop and refresh themselves.

My favorite thing in the park was the mural (壁画) — a huge, colorful picture painted on the wall. It showed children playing under a bright sun, and it felt like the heart of our community. But that heart was fading. The colors were washed out, and ugly marks were everywhere, ruining the beautiful picture. I felt like a happy memory of my town was being destroyed. One day at school, my history teacher asked the class to look at old news about our town. I found a very old article on the computer. It was about the day the mural was finished. The article said the town would always take care of the mural. It even promised to provide funds to keep it beautiful. I was surprised. Nobody was taking care of it now. The promise was broken. When I saw a large new black mark right in the middle of the mural, I felt angry and decided to do something. I remembered my civics teacher taught me, “To make a change, you need good proof.” He often said young people should take responsibility for the community instead of waiting for adults to fix problems. I had an idea. I would find proof that people still love the mural and let Mr. Davis, the park manager, know we should save it. I used my phone to take many clear photos of the damaged mural. I saved the old article. Then, I wrote a few simple questions on a piece of paper including “Do you want the mural to be cleaned?” After school, I went to the park and asked people these questions. Almost everyone I asked said they loved the mural and wanted it to be saved. Many people told me their own stories about the picture. I put everything together: the photos, the old article, and a survey of what people said. With the proof that the mural was important to the town, I stood outside Mr. Davis’s office. Would he listen to a young student? 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式作答。 Taking a deep breath, I knocked firmly on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, I stood in front of the restored mural. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第一学期教学质量监测 高二英语 本试卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并认真核准准考证号条形码上的以上信息，将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

But for McCollum, the three words bring back the voice of someone she loved and lost: her husband, Oswald Laurence. Laurence passed away in 2007, and McCollum would often travel to Embankment tube station just to hear his voice. Eighteen years later, she continues the journey. In the 1960s, Laurence was selected by the London Underground to record the “Mind the gap” announcement, heard by millions of commuters for decades. Over time, most stations adopted a new voice, but Embankment retained the original — it was McCollum’s special spot to remember her husband. Yet in November 2012, Laurence’s voice was unexpectedly replaced during system upgrades. “I used to wait for the next train to hear his voice,” McCollum recalled. “Suddenly one day it wasn’t his voice. I said to my friend, ‘What happened to Oswald’s voice?’ The tape had broken?” She added, “I felt slightly panicky and a bit anxious.” McCollum spoke to the guard on the platform, who confirmed they had a new PA system and voice. Shocked and tearful, McCollum contacted Transport for London and asked if it could restore the original announcement. Moved by her story, the staff at Transport for London promised to try and help. They made good on their promise. Just two weeks later, the staff had created a CD of the original recording and restored Laurence’s voice to the announcement. “I love the fact that he’s back there and I can listen to him,” said McCollum. “It does bring him very close to me.” She added, “I would have been heartsick if they had not managed to bring him back.” Laurence’s legacy and love live on. Passengers on the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station can still hear his iconic voice telling them to “Mind the gap.” And the station remains a comforting place for McCollum, who continues to visit whenever she wants to feel close to her late husband. 4. Why did Margaret McCollum often go to Embankment tube station? A. To take the Northern Line train. B. To listen to her late husband’s voice. C. To meet her friend who worked there. D. To report a problem with the PA system. 5. What can we infer about the staff at Transport for London? A. They always keep old recordings. B. They responded warmly to the story. C. They often change station announcements. D. They knew McCollum’s husband personally. 6. Where could passengers still hear Laurence’s original voice after 2012? A. Nowhere: the voice was permanently deleted. B. At all stations that had kept the old PA system. C. On every line of the London Underground tube station. D. On the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station. 7. The best title for this passage could be ________. A. A Famous Voice B. A System Upgrade C. Love, Lost and Found D. London’s Tube History 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了McCollum常去伦敦地铁站听已故丈夫录制的“小心空隙”提示音。声音被替换后，伦敦交通局被感动并恢复录音，让这份爱得以延续。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But for McCollum, the three words bring back the voice of someone she loved and lost: her husband, Oswald Laurence. Laurence passed away in 2007, and McCollum would often travel to Embankment tube station just to hear his voice.(但对于麦科勒姆来说，这三个词勾起了她心中一位挚爱之人的声音——她的丈夫奥斯瓦尔德·劳伦斯。劳伦斯于2007年去世，麦科勒姆常常会前往埃班克姆地铁站，只为聆听他的声音)”可知，玛格丽特·麦科尔姆经常前往埃布兰姆顿地铁站是为了聆听她已故丈夫的声音。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Moved by her story, the staff at Transport for London promised to try and help. They made good on their promise.(被她的故事所感动，伦敦交通局的工作人员承诺会尽力提供帮助。他们兑现了自己的承诺)”可知，伦敦交通局的工作人员对这个故事反应热烈。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Passengers on the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station can still hear his iconic voice telling them to “Mind the gap.”(在埃班克门特站北行的北线列车上，乘客们仍能听到他那标志性的声音在提醒大家：“注意脚下缝隙。”)”可知，2012年之后，乘客还能在埃班克门特站的北线列车上听到劳伦斯的原声。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“But for McCollum, the three words bring back the voice of someone she loved and lost: her husband, Oswald Laurence.

Is it better to spend money to buy things or to do things? A UK study found six in ten consumers would rather spend their money on experiences than material possessions (物品). Those aged 18-34 reported spending the highest amount on entertainment activities. Possessions can last for many years, while experiences are temporary. This, however, might be the wrong way to look at things. Psychology professor Thomas Gilovich discovered the happiness that objects provide can fade quickly. We adapt to having new possessions, so that rather than being something we are excited by, they just become our new normal. A holiday or a day out may have a short duration, but the happiness it provides can last much longer. Waiting for our latest purchases to be delivered is frustrating, but waiting for an exciting event gives us a feeling of anticipation. Experiences are often shared, so we gain pleasure from social connection and time spent with other people. Memories of our experiences become part of our identity. As Gilovich points out, we are the sum of our experiences. Indeed, the very fact that experiences last for a limited time can give them value. Physical goods deteriorate over time, while our memories of an experience can give us pleasure year after year. Of course, it’s not always that simple. Other studies have suggested that happiness gained from experiences might depend on your personality type, and how many possessions you already have. People with more quiet personality types may get less benefit from social occasions and those with few possessions may get greater benefit from objects. However, for many of us, it could be that when choosing how to spend our spare income, we’ll get far more benefit by spending on something to do, rather than something to have. 8. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give an example. C. To provide a definition. D. To present an argument. 9. Why does the happiness from objects fade quickly according to Thomas Gilovich? A. Objects are not as meaningful as experiences in people’s life. B People get used to new possessions and they become ordinary. C. People often compare their possessions with those of other people. D. Objects start to lose their value the moment they are bought by people. 10. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Get worse. B. Stay the same. C. Prove practical. D. Become better. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards spending money on experiences? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Negative. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。英国研究显示多数人更愿花钱买体验而非物品。物品带来的快乐易消退，而体验的快乐与记忆更持久，虽因人而异，但作者仍支持花钱体验。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“What’s best: a new phone or a day out with friends? Is it better to spend money to buy things or to do things? A UK study found six in ten consumers would rather spend their money on experiences than material possessions (物品). Those aged 18-34 reported spending the highest amount on entertainment activities.(最理想的选择是：一部新手机还是与朋友外出游玩？是把钱花在购买物品上，还是用于参与活动？一项英国的研究发现，六成消费者更愿意把钱花在体验活动上，而非物质物品上。18至34岁的人群在娱乐活动方面的花费最高)”可知，第一段的主要目的是引入主题。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We adapt to having new possessions, so that rather than being something we are excited by, they just become our new normal.(我们会逐渐适应拥有新的物品，以至于这些物品不再是我们感到兴奋的对象，而只是成为了我们日常生活中的常态)”可知，从物品中获得的快乐会很快消失是因为人们会习惯新的物品，并且它们也就变得不再那么特别了。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“while our memories of an experience can give us pleasure year after year.(而我们对某次经历的记忆能够让我们年复一年地从中获得快乐)”可知，此处前后对比，物品会变坏、贬值、变旧，而记忆能一直带来快乐。故划线词意思是“变得更糟”。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, for many of us, it could be that when choosing how to spend our spare income, we’ll get far more benefit by spending on something to do, rather than something to have.(然而，对我们许多人而言，在决定如何支配可支配收入时，或许通过将这笔钱用于参与活动而非购买物品，我们能获得更大的收益)”可知，作者对于花钱去体验活动持支持态度。故选C。 D Fields Medal winner Akshay Venkatesh was once asked: “In a world where AI can answer everything for you, is mathematics still worth studying?” He presented AI as a chance to address a fundamental gap that has grown between how mathematics is practiced and what we truly value-understanding. Mathematics is often called a “universal language”. Yet, as the field has expanded far beyond the basic numbers and shapes learned during the pre-college years, there is no single chart can be used to explore the vastness. Mathematics has become increasingly divided. It is now organized into 63 major categories and 529 subfields, each with its own language that takes years to learn. In a mathematical research paper, authors use the word “we”, which refers to both the writers and the readers. Because to really understand a mathematical argument, readers must recreate it for themselves in their own heads. In other words, mathematical communication goes at the pace of mathematical understanding. Mathematician William Thurston wrote, “We should focus much more energy on understanding and explaining the basic ideas of mathematics, rather than only on the latest results.” He suggests developing “mathematical language that is effective for conveying ideas to people who don’t already know them” and providing more opportunities for communication training and practice. In a world where AI is getting smarter and smarter, Venkatesh asked, “Why do we still need to prove things?” Thurston put it simply: people will always want to understand why something is true, not just a machine’s confirmation. What truly matters is how mathematical ideas enrich and change the way humans see and relate to the world. Even if an AI can tell people what is true, there will always be more to understand about why. 12. Why does the author mention the numbers “63” and “529” in the passage? A. To prove that mathematics is a universal language. B. To compare the development of AI and mathematics. C. To show the great expansion and division of mathematics. D. To emphasize the goal of mastering the specialized languages. 13. What does the use of “we” in papers indicate according to the text? A The joint efforts of mathematicians and readers. B. The author’s attempt to stimulate readers’ curiosity. C. A common way to write mathematical research papers. D. The need for readers’ mental involvement to understand. 14. According to the passage, how does AI change the role of mathematicians? A. It makes them focus more on checking the results. B. It requires them to learn advanced computer skills. C. It turns their focus to explaining why things are true. D. It causes less communication between them and the public. 15. Where is the passage most likely taken from? A. A science fiction. B. A science magazine. C. A textbook. D. An encyclopedia. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了尽管AI能给出答案，数学仍值得学习，因其重在理解。数学领域庞大且分化，AI时代人类更需探究原理，而非只知晓结果。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet, as the field has expanded far beyond the basic numbers and shapes learned during the pre-college years, there is no single chart can be used to explore the vastness. Mathematics has become increasingly divided. It is now organized into 63 major categories and 529 subfields, each with its own language that takes years to learn.(然而，随着这一学科领域的发展已经远远超出了高中阶段所学的基本数字和形状知识的范畴，目前并不存在一种单一的图表能够涵盖其全部内容。数学已经变得越来越细分。如今它被划分为63个主要类别和529个子领域，每个领域都有其独特的语言，而要掌握这些语言则需要花费数年时间)”可知，作者提及“63”和“529”这两个数字是为了以此来展示数学的迅猛发展与演变。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a mathematical research paper, authors use the word “we”, which refers to both the writers and the readers. Because to really understand a mathematical argument, readers must recreate it for themselves in their own heads.(在一篇数学研究论文中，作者们使用了“我们”这个词，它既指作者本人，也指读者。因为要真正理解一个数学论证，读者必须在自己的脑海中自行重现这个过程)”可知，论文中使用“我们”这一表述所表明的意思是需要读者投入思维才能理解。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In a world where AI is getting smarter and smarter, Venkatesh asked, “Why do we still need to prove things?” Thurston put it simply: people will always want to understand why something is true, not just a machine’s confirmation.

Even if an AI can tell people what is true, there will always be more to understand about why.(在这样一个人工智能日益智能的世界里，文卡特什问道：“我们为何还要去证明某些事情呢？”瑟斯顿则简单地回答道：人们总是想要了解某个事物为何是真实的，而不仅仅是机器的确认。真正重要的是数学思想如何丰富并改变人类看待和与世界互动的方式。即便人工智能能够告诉人们什么是真实的，但对于为何如此，人们总是会有更多的疑问需要去探究)”可知，人工智能使数学家的工作重点转向解释事物为何是如此。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Fields Medal winner Akshay Venkatesh was once asked: “In a world where AI can answer everything for you, is mathematics still worth studying?” He presented AI as a chance to address a fundamental gap that has grown between how mathematics is practiced and what we truly value-understanding.(菲尔兹奖得主阿克沙伊·文卡特斯曾被问到：“在一个人工智能能够为你解答一切问题的世界里，数学是否还有研究的价值？”他将人工智能视为一个契机，借此来填补数学实践方式与我们真正重视的——即理解——之间的巨大差距)”可知，文章主要说明了尽管AI能给出答案，数学仍值得学习，因其重在理解。数学领域庞大且分化，AI时代人类更需探究原理，而非只知晓结果。可知，文章最有可能出自一本科学杂志。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分7.5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。 I have been teaching the identical course to undergraduate and graduate students from various majors, like finance and medicine for 15 years. Although my lecture materials and teaching methods have stayed unchanged, student evaluations last year hit a record high. ____16____ What, then, led to this remarkable improvement? The key change was the introduction of a strict policy on electronic devices. Laptops and smartphones were banned for note-taking, with just one exception: devices were allowed only if students were writing with a digital pen. ____17____ They claimed devices were essential for notes or reference, arguing that digital tools were indispensable for study efficiency. However, after a short period of adaptation, almost all students noticed their ability to concentrate had improved positively. To explain why this policy worked, I shared relevant research with the students. One study showed that students who took notes by hand remembered about 35% more content than those who typed on portable computers. ____18____ The mental effort required for handwriting helps students gain a deeper understanding of the material. In addition, another study with 480 participants found that students who placed their phones on their desks scored 18% lower on focus-related tasks than those who put their phones away. ____19____ More evidence demonstrates that cell phones, even in a powered-off state, reduce individuals’ mental capacity and weaken the quality of face-to-face conversations. ____20____ I hold the view that universities should take the same measures to boost students’ academic performance, since this simple but powerful approach creates a more attentive and interactive learning environment for everyone. A. This data shows focus needs a boost. B. They feared losing notes or urgent calls. C. Most middle and high schools have become phone-free. D. Constructive remarks on focus and course quality poured in. E. Writing by hand requires active thinking; typing is often mindless. F. This proves that phone nearby has an effect on students’ performance. G. Predictably, students immediately doubted and opposed this decision at first. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. E 19. F 20.

My favorite thing in the park was the mural (壁画) — a huge, colorful picture painted on the wall. It showed children playing under a bright sun, and it felt like the heart of our community. But that heart was fading. The colors were washed out, and ugly marks were everywhere, ruining the beautiful picture. I felt like a happy memory of my town was being destroyed. One day at school, my history teacher asked the class to look at old news about our town. I found a very old article on the computer. It was about the day the mural was finished. The article said the town would always take care of the mural. It even promised to provide funds to keep it beautiful. I was surprised. Nobody was taking care of it now. The promise was broken. When I saw a large new black mark right in the middle of the mural, I felt angry and decided to do something. I remembered my civics teacher taught me, “To make a change, you need good proof.” He often said young people should take responsibility for the community instead of waiting for adults to fix problems. I had an idea. I would find proof that people still love the mural and let Mr. Davis, the park manager, know we should save it. I used my phone to take many clear photos of the damaged mural. I saved the old article. Then, I wrote a few simple questions on a piece of paper including “Do you want the mural to be cleaned?” After school, I went to the park and asked people these questions. Almost everyone I asked said they loved the mural and wanted it to be saved. Many people told me their own stories about the picture. I put everything together: the photos, the old article, and a survey of what people said. With the proof that the mural was important to the town, I stood outside Mr. Davis’s office. Would he listen to a young student? 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式作答。 Taking a deep breath, I knocked firmly on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, I stood in front of the restored mural. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Taking a deep breath, I knocked firmly on the door. Mr. Davis welcomed me in with a smile, and I nervously handed him my collection of proof. I explained how the mural had faded, showed him the photos of the ugly marks, and read the old article about the town’s promise. When I shared the survey results — how almost everyone wanted to save it — his eyes lit up. “You’ve done amazing work,” he said happily, patting my shoulder. “This mural is part of our town’s history, and you’ve reminded us to keep our promise.” He told me he’d apply for the funds right away to restore it. Two weeks later, I stood in front of the restored mural. The colors were bright again — vibrant blues, warm yellows, and vivid greens that made the children in the picture look alive. The ugly marks were gone, and the mural shone like it did in the old article. Many townspeople gathered around, taking photos and sharing stories. Mr. Davis walked over and handed me a small brush. “Want to add the final touch?” he asked. As I painted a tiny sunbeam, I felt proud. I’d learned that young people could make a difference — all it took was courage, proof, and love for the community. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者往日回家途中最爱镇上公园的壁画，可壁画日渐褪色破损，美好记忆遭破坏。他偶然发现小镇曾承诺妥善维护这幅壁画，却未兑现。受老师话语启发，他拍下壁画破损照片、留存旧文献并做民意调查收集大家的支持意见，整理好这些证据后，准备向公园经理提出修复壁画的想法。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，用力敲了敲门。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者鼓起勇气向戴维斯先生提交壁画相关证据并说明情况，对方认可其努力，承诺即刻申请资金修复壁画。 ②由第二段首句内容“两周后，我站在修复一新的壁画前。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：两周后壁画修复完成重现光彩，居民齐聚，作者受邀添最后一笔，也领悟到年轻人亦能改变社区的道理。 2.续写线索：提交壁画相关证据——戴维斯先生承诺修复壁画——壁画重现光彩——居民齐聚欣赏——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.拯救：save/rescue ②.说：say/utter ③.修复：restore/repair 情绪类 ①.焦急地：nervously/anxiously ②.高兴地：happily/gladly/merrily 【点睛】[高分句型1].
