Our workshop provides the perfect environment, proven techniques, and supportive community to systematically unlock your creativity, guiding you step by step to reconnect with the joy of making. (我们认为灵感不仅仅是突然的闪现；它是一个可以被培养和发展的过程。我们的工作坊提供了完美的环境、经过验证的技巧和支持性的社区，以系统地释放你的创造力，引导你一步步重新找回创作的乐趣。)”可知，“灵感角落”工作坊的主要目标是帮助人们发展他们的创作过程。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“What to Expect”部分中“Afternoon sessions: Enjoy free creative time in our fully-equipped studio, with private one-on-one advice from Ms. Green. (下午时段：在我们设备齐全的工作室里享受自由创作时间，并接受格林女士的一对一私人建议。)”可知，参与者在下午时段会接受来自工作坊负责人的个人指导。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章介绍了“灵感角落”周末工作坊的相关信息，包括日期时间、地点、工作坊负责人、活动内容、费用以及报名方式等，目的是吸引人们报名参加这个工作坊。由此可推断，这篇文章最有可能来自一个短期课程的广告。故选D。 B A couple of years ago, Brian Floca was on an island off the coast of Maine when a storm rolled in. “There was this kind of electric charge in the air,” he remembers, “The sensory feeling of the storm coming — the wind, the waves.” But also the question — “Is this safe?” That memory inspired his new children’s book, Island Storm, about two kids who feel a storm coming, pull on their boots and head to the sea. As the waves crash and the rain falls harder, they ask each other, “Is this enough? Or do we try for more?” The siblings (兄弟姐妹) decide to go on. Storms accompany children through their growth, allowing them to push boundaries, feel fear, and learn from adventures. “It’s about an urge we all have, as adults and as kids,” says Floca. Though, he laughs, the goal is not to encourage kids to go storm-chasing. It’s to encourage them to be kids. Floca invited Sydney Smith for illustrations. “I don’t think there’s anyone out there right now who handles paint, light and weather with such depth of feeling,” Floca explains. “The illustrations can be a little bit scary, capturing the genuine fear you feel in something as powerful as a summer storm.” “Childhood is about discovering the line by crossing it,” says illustrator Smith. “This book acknowledges what childhood is about — going too far, coming back and learning on your own. You’re allowed that freedom.” Ultimately, it’s also a book about safety. The siblings are there for each other, their mom is waiting for them at home, the storm will pass and the skies will clear. 4. What inspired Floca to write Island Storm? A. His love for adventures. B. His encounter with a storm. C. His curiosity about nature. D. His memory of chasing storms. 5. What does the storm symbolize in the book? A. The protective role of family. B. A warning against daring behavior. C. The uncontrollable power of nature. D. The necessary challenges in a child’s growth. 6. What does Floca imply about the illustrations? A. They outperform the plots. B. They show multiple techniques. C. They express emotion vividly. D. They display real-life situations. 7. What is an ideal childhood like in Smith’s eyes? A. It values exploration and discovery. B. It encourages continuous travel. C. It combines adventure and safety. D. It provides complete freedom. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Brian Floca创作儿童书籍《Island Storm》的灵感来源、书中风暴的象征意义、插画的特点以及理想童年应有的样子。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A couple of years ago, Brian Floca was on an island off the coast of Maine when a storm rolled in. “There was this kind of electric charge in the air,” he remembers, “The sensory feeling of the storm coming — the wind, the waves.” But also the question —”Is this safe?” (几年前，Brian Floca在缅因州海岸外的一个岛上，当时一场风暴袭来。“空气中弥漫着一种电流，”他回忆道，“风暴来临时的感官感受——风、海浪。”但也有一个问题——“这安全吗？”)”和第二段“That memory inspired his new children’s book, Island Storm (这段记忆激发了他创作新儿童书籍《Island Storm》的灵感)”可知，Floca遇到一场风暴的经历激发了他创作《Island Storm》的灵感。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Storms accompany children through their growth, allowing them to push boundaries, feel fear, and learn from adventures. (风暴伴随着孩子们成长，让他们突破界限，感受恐惧，从冒险中学习)”以及第四段中“Childhood is about discovering the line by crossing it,” says illustrator Smith. “This book acknowledges what childhood is about — going too far, coming back and learning on your own. You’re allowed that freedom.” (插画家史密斯说：“童年就是通过跨越界限来发现界限。”“这本书承认了童年的意义——走得太远，然后回来，自己学习。你有这种自由。”)”可知，书中的风暴象征着孩子成长过程中必要的挑战。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Floca invited Sydney Smith for illustrations. “I don’t think there’s anyone out there right now who handles paint, light and weather with such depth of feeling,” Floca explains. “The illustrations can be a little bit scary, capturing the genuine fear you feel in something as powerful as a summer storm.” (Floca邀请Sydney Smith来绘制插图。Floca解释说：“我认为现在没有人能像他那样用如此深刻的情感来处理颜料、光线和天气。”“这些插图可能会有点吓人，捕捉到了你在像夏日风暴这样强大的事物中所感受到的真实恐惧。”)”可知，Floca认为插画能生动地表达情感。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““Childhood is about discovering the line by crossing it,” says illustrator Smith. “This book acknowledges what childhood is about — going too far, coming back and learning on your own. You’re allowed that freedom. (插画家史密斯说：“童年就是通过跨越界限来发现界限。”“这本书承认了童年的意义——走得太远，然后回来，自己学习。你有这种自由。”)”可知，在Smith看来，理想的童年重视探索和发现。故选A项。 C Bioengineers have introduced a new method of food production that could dramatically reshape agriculture, potentially making it more eco-friendly, and adaptable to environments like space. Called “electro-agriculture ”, this system would replace traditional photosynthesis (光合作用) — a process that only changes around 1% of light energy into usable chemical energy in plants — with a solar-powered reaction that effectively changes carbon dioxide (CO₂) into an organic molecule (有机分子) that plants could use as food. The current version of electro-agriculture achieves about 4% efficiency — four times higher than photosynthesis. “Since electro-agriculture is not dependent on climate conditions like traditional farming, it could serve as a precious method for producing additional food when necessary. With global climate change affecting agriculture, new food production technologies are becoming increasingly vital to balancing food markets and supporting a growing population”, senior author Feng Jiao said. In electro-agriculture, solar plates would be used to power a chemical reaction between CO₂ and water, producing acetate (醋酸盐). Plants would be reengineered to use this acetate as a primary energy source instead of relying on photosynthesis. Robert Jinkerson, a biological engineer, sees this technology as a major move forward. “If we don’t need to grow plants with sunlight anymore, then we can decouple agriculture from the environment and grow food in indoor, controlled environments,” he said. The change could move agriculture into upright, multi-story indoor farms where solar power is collected outside the building to drive plant growth inside. So far, researchers have engineered plants that can use acetate in combination with photosynthesis, but the ultimate goal is to create plants that rely entirely on acetate for energy. While plant research is still in its early stages, other species like mushrooms have already naturally used acetate as an energy source. This means the technology could be applied to these food-producing beings much sooner in the market. 8. What is the key to electro-agriculture? A. Promoting energy change efficiency. B. Increasing plants’ adaptation to light. C. Offering plants sufficient nutrition. D. Reproducing photosynthesis indoors. 9. What did Feng Jiao take electro-agriculture as? A. A short-term fix for climate change. B. A valuable solution for food supply. C. A new exploration of traditional farming. D. A possible replacement for organic farming. 10. What does the underlined word “decouple” mean in paragraph 5? A. Protect. B. Separate. C. Recover. D. Choose. 11. What would be the best title of the text? A. Climate change affects agriculture. B. Electro-agriculture will replace traditional agriculture. C. Plants need no photosynthesis. D. Electro-agriculture makes indoor farms possible. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生物工程师引入的一种新的食品生产方法，这种方法可能会极大地重塑农业，有可能使其更加环保，并适应太空等环境，这个系统被称为“电农业”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Called “electro-agriculture ”, this system would replace traditional photosynthesis (光合作用) —a process that only changes around 1% of light energy into usable chemical energy in plants — with a solar-powered reaction that effectively changes carbon dioxide (CO₂) into an organic molecule (有机分子) that plants could use as food. The current version of electro-agriculture achieves about 4% efficiency — four times higher than photosynthesis.(被称为“电农业”，它将取代传统的光合作用——在植物中，光合作用只能将大约 1%的光能转化为可用的化学能——而太阳能反应可以有效地将二氧化碳转化为植物可以用作食物的有机分子。目前的电子农业可以达到4%的效率，是光合作用的四倍)”可知，电农业系统的关键就是提升能量转化的效率。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Since electro-agriculture is not dependent on climate conditions like traditional farming, it could serve as a precious method for producing additional food when necessary. With global climate change affecting agriculture, new food production technologies are becoming increasingly vital to balancing food markets and supporting a growing population(由于电农业不像传统农业那样依赖于气候条件，它可以作为一种宝贵的方法，在必要时生产额外的食物。随着全球气候变化对农业的影响，新的粮食生产技术对于平衡粮食市场和支持不断增长的人口变得越来越重要)”可知，冯娇认为在全球变化和人口增长背景下电农业是一个有价值的食物供应解决方案。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“grow food in indoor, controlled environments (在室内可控的环境中种植粮食)”可推测，电农业使农业种植与环境分离，不再依赖阳光等自然气候，由此推测，划线词的意思是“分离”。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，介绍新型农业 Eletro-agriculture 的技术突破，技术原理和发展前景，得出该技术将使农业摆脱气候的影响，由此可知，D项“在室内建农场成为可能”是最好的标题。故选D项。 D “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 12. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Recording spoken words. C. Organizing thoughts. D. Ensuring fluency. 13. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A. It ensures greater objectivity. B. It makes for logical statements. C. It preserves knowledge longer. D. It requires “memorable thoughts”. 14. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A. To show its interactive feature. B. To contrast with online reading. C. To underline its logical structure. D. To highlight its cultural relevance. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity? A. Dismissive. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Skeptical. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述写作能梳理思想、深入思考，结合研究与理论说明读写的重要性，担忧数字时代碎片化内容对复杂推理能力的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的““I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. (美国伟大记者约翰·多斯·帕索斯写道：“我写作是为了弄清楚自己在想什么。”任何从事写作的人都明白这个道理：写作行为能将尚未成型的想法转化为精准、有条理的思考。)”可知，约翰·多斯·帕索斯认为写作的作用是梳理思想，将模糊想法转化为清晰思考。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. (他认为读写能力推动了古希腊的知识革命。口头文化必须“思考易记的内容”，依靠韵律、情感和陈词滥调来保存知识。相比之下，写作能够呈现精准、复杂的表述，这些表述可被审视、回顾，并发展成有条理的论点。)”可知，与口头文化相比，写作的关键优势是能形成有条理的表述。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.(互联网提供碎片化信息，而书籍则提供丰富的背景和连贯的逻辑关联。阅读是一个需要参与和专注的主动过程——本质上是与文本对话式的思考。)”可知，作者将阅读描述为“与文本对话式的思考”，是为了体现阅读需要读者主动参与、与文本互动的特点，即突出其互动性。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning.(随着我们的文化越来越被短视频和分散注意力的内容主导，我们面临失去复杂推理能力的风险。)”以及“Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing.(在我们将认知发展交给屏幕和算法之前，我们必须仔细思考可能会牺牲什么。)”可知，作者担忧碎片化内容导致人们推理能力下降，对人们的推理能力持担忧态度。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Throughout our lives, we are often taught to look for just one correct answer to a question, like “What is 2+2?” or “What is the capital of India?” This “one problem, one answer” way of thinking is deeply rooted in how we learn. ____16____ However, what happens if we are asked to come up with different responses instead of one right answer? ____17____ I asked them, “What if there is more than one way to think about the answer to 2+2?” They shared many creative answers, such as “half of 8,” “the number of runners on a relay team,” or “the number that comes after 3.” ____18____ These students weren’t limited by the artificial “requirement” of a single right answer. They were simply asked a “What if…?” question. So, what lies behind this issue? Educator Ken Robinson observed that our school systems often fail to develop students’ natural creativity. ____19____ Studies show that while teachers say they value independent thinking, they often reward behavior that is simply obedient (顺从的). As a result, we create a workforce that follows instructions well but struggles to innovate. In short, we tell students to color inside the lines, but then expect adults to think outside the box. ____20____ How can we do this? First, teachers should ask more open-ended questions to encourage different ways of thinking. It is also crucial to create a safe classroom environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. By doing so, we can better equip students to solve complex problems with flexibility and innovation in the future. A. Avoiding risks is a natural tendency. B. However, they have the potential to succeed. C. To find out, I approached a group of fourth-graders. D. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization. E. The results, as you can see, were diverse and inventive. F. Seldom do we consider the possibility of multiple answers. G. It’s time to break free from the “single right answer” mindset. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了我们常被教导寻求单一答案，但应鼓励多元思考。学校应培养创造力，摆脱“单一正确答案”思维，鼓励创新。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Throughout our lives, we are often taught to look for just one correct answer to a question, like “What is 2+2?” or “What is the capital of India?” This “one problem, one answer” way of thinking is deeply rooted in how we learn.(在我们的一生中，常常会被教导要寻找一个问题的唯一正确答案，比如“2加2等于多少？”或者“印度的首都是哪里？”这种“一个问题，一个答案”的思维方式深深植根于我们的学习方式之中。)”以及第二段“However, what happens if we are asked to come up with different responses instead of one right answer?(然而，如果要求我们给出多种不同的答案，而非一个唯一的正确答案，那会怎样呢？)”可知，前文提到“我们一生中经常被教导要为一个问题寻找一个正确的答案”，后文提到“然而，如果我们被要求提出不同的回答而不是一个正确的答案呢”，由此可知，本句与前文形成转折关系，表示我们很少考虑多种答案的可能性，所以F选项“我们很少会考虑存在多种答案的可能性”符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“I asked them, “What if there is more than one way to think about the answer to 2+2?”(我问他们：“如果对于 2+2 这道题的答案，有不同的思考方式呢？”)”可知，后文提到“我问他们，‘如果2+2的答案不止一种思考方式呢？’他们分享了许多有创意的答案”，由此可知，本句表示作者为了找出答案，去找了一群学生，所以C选项“为了探究这一点，我接触了一群四年级的学生”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“They shared many creative answers, such as “half of 8,” “the number of runners on a relay team,” or “the number that comes after 3.”(他们给出了许多富有创意的答案，比如“8 的一半”、“接力队中参与跑步的队员人数”或者“排在 3 之后的数字”)”以及后文“These students weren’t limited by the artificial “requirement” of a single right answer.(这些学生并未受到那种人为设定的“必须只有一个正确答案”的限制)”可知，前文提到学生们分享了许多有创意的答案，后文提到“这些学生没有被单一正确答案的人工要求所限制”，可知，本句表示这些答案的多样性和创新性，所以E选项“如你所见，这些结果是多种多样的且富有创意的”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 前文提到“Educator Ken Robinson observed that our school systems often fail to develop students’ natural creativity.(教育家肯·罗宾逊指出，我们的学校教育体系往往无法培养学生的天然创造力)”结合后文“Studies show that while teachers say they value independent thinking, they often reward behavior that is simply obedient (顺从的).(研究表明，尽管教师们声称重视独立思考，但他们往往奖励的却是那种单纯顺从的行为)”可知，本句表示学校系统反而促进了统一化和标准化，所以D选项“相反，他们推崇一致性与标准化”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据后文“How can we do this? First, teachers should ask more open-ended questions to encourage different ways of thinking. It is also crucial to create a safe classroom environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. By doing so, we can better equip students to solve complex problems with flexibility and innovation in the future.(我们该如何做到这一点呢？首先，教师应当提出更多开放式问题，以鼓励学生采用不同的思考方式。同时，营造一个安全的课堂环境也非常重要，让学生能够放心地尝试新事物并犯错。通过这样做，我们能够更好地帮助学生在未来灵活且创新地解决复杂问题)”可知，后文提到“我们该怎么做呢？首先，教师应该提出更多开放性的问题来鼓励不同的思维方式”，由此可知，第五空应表示要摆脱“单一正确答案”的思维模式，所以G选项“是时候摆脱“只有一个正确答案”的思维模式了”符合语境。故选G。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After the planned itinerary (行程), we ended our grand family visit to the Grand Canyon.

With careful travel preparation, the thing they ____22____ most was the moment they ____23____ to get a $2 toy. At first, I was ____24____, but then, I remembered it wasn’t the first time something like this ____25____. Several years ago, after another family trip, I ____26____ a similar question to one of my kids. He said, “I learned to whistle (吹口哨).” I should have known. The moments that stick with us aren’t always the ones we ____27____. In a culture that pushes us to think bigger, better, and more, it ____28____ our habit to welcome something smaller and simpler. We always have the ____29____ to create magical, unforgettable experiences for our family, for we love them from the heart. However, people who notice and enjoy ____30____ things experience greater, long-term well-being.

The road trips? No. It was winning a stuffed monkey from a machine.(那令人惊叹的景色？那些自驾游之旅？不是。那是从一台机器里赢得一只毛绒猴子)”可知，后文回答不是风景，而是抓娃娃的瞬间，这是回忆。故选A。 【22题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：经过精心的旅行准备，他们最看重的便是那个他们设法赢得的售价仅为2美元的玩具的时刻。A. desired渴望的；B. valued重视的；C. considered考虑过的；D. needed需要的。根据上文“I asked my kids about their favorite”可知，孩子最喜欢、最看重的是那个小瞬间。故选B。 23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。A. attempted尝试；B. afforded负担得起；C. volunteered自愿；D. managed设法做到。根据后文“to get a $2 toy”可知，指抓娃娃成功抓到，用manage to do“设法成功地做某事”。故选D。 【24题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：起初我感到很震惊，但随后我便想起这种事情以前也发生过不止一次。A. optimistic乐观的；B. alert警觉的；C. shocked震惊的；D. relieved宽慰的。根据上文“With careful travel preparation, the thing they ____ most was the moment they ____ to get a $2 toy.”可知，作者没想到孩子最喜欢的不是大峡谷，而是抓娃娃，很意外。故选C。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。A. approached接近；B. happened发生；C. worsened恶化；D. changed改变。根据后文“Several years ago, after another family trip”可知，这样的事情不是第一次发生，故选B。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：几年前，在又一次家庭旅行结束后，我向我的一个孩子提出了一个类似的问题。A. posed提出；B. faced面对；C. answered回答；D. analysed分析。根据后文“a similar question”指提出问题，与动词pose搭配。故选A。 27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那些让我们难以忘怀的时刻，并不总是我们所预料到的那样。A. admire钦佩；B. mention提及；C. experience经历；D. expect预料，期待。根据上文“The moments that stick with us aren’t always the ones we”可知，以为会记住大峡谷，结果记住的是小事，超出预料。故选D。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：在一个不断促使我们追求更宏大、更出色、更完美的文化环境中，接受那些更小、更简单的事物会与我们的习惯背道而驰。A. contributes to有助于；B. relies on依靠；C. goes against违背；D. falls into落入。根据上文“In a culture that pushes us to think bigger, better, and more”以及后文“to welcome something smaller and simpler”可知，社会追求宏大，他们却喜欢小事，违背主流习惯。故选C。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们总是渴望为家人创造充满魔力且令人难以忘怀的体验，因为我们真心爱着他们。A. inspiration灵感；B. opportunity机会；C. support支持；D. urge强烈欲望。根据后文“to create magical, unforgettable experiences for our family, for we love them from the heart”指渴望为家人创造充满魔力且令人难以忘怀的体验，have the urge to do表示“有强烈想去做的冲动”。故选D。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，那些能够留意并欣赏平凡事物的人会获得更长久、更深刻的幸福感。A. creative有创造力的；B. ordinary普通的；C. magical神奇的；D. pure纯粹的。根据上文“welcome something smaller and simpler”可知，平凡小事最珍贵。故选B。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这也是为什么你会觉得一个普通的周二夜晚，自己因听到一个有趣笑话而开怀大笑，这种时刻竟然会和精心筹备的庆祝活动一样令人难忘。A. strategy策略；B. demand要求；C. reason原因；D. motivation动机。根据后文“for feeling a random Tuesday night of you laughing at a funny joke just as special”可知，上文提到平凡小事最珍贵，这也是为什么一个普通周二晚上也能很特别的原因，the reason for表示“……的原因”。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意同上。A. jointly共同地；B. quickly快速地；C. objectively客观地；D. carefully精心地。根据后文“planned celebration”指与精心准备的盛大庆祝对比，普通夜晚也可以很特别，与carefully上文random Tuesday相对比。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：意义并非是我们能够制造出来的——它早已存在于那些微小且出乎意料的角落之中。A. produce生产，制造；B. select选择；C. understand理解；D. explain解释。根据后文“it already exists in small, unexpected spaces”可知，意义本来就在，不是我们刻意制造。故选A。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：所以，放下对那些宏大、完美的时刻的追求吧，取而代之的是要全身心地投入当下，专注于眼前正在发生的一切。A. popularity流行；B. challenge挑战；C. pursuit追求；D. benefit益处。根据后文“of big, perfect moments”可知，作者建议放下对那些宏大、完美的时刻的追求，关注平凡小事。let go of the pursuit表示“放下对……的追求”。故选C。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。A. disappearing消失；B. unfolding展开；C. convincing使信服；D. restarting重新开始。根据上文“perfect moments and instead be present, focusing on whatever is”以及后文“in front of us”指当下在我们眼前正在发生、展开的每一刻。故选B。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读短文内容，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In the corner of a simple studio, Zhao Lei leans over a wooden desk, delicately drawing a character on a clear sheet of material (called a “cel”).

She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the table. It was already nine o’clock! Although Jane was still very sleepy, she knew she had to get up because her mother was working in her office and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was always sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and ran to the living room. When she picked up the phone, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning!” It was from her father, who was a sailor and rarely came home. Suddenly, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born into a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities. They were the pride of the family. “Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling us so early on the weekend?” Jane said, pretending to be annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered a cake online and it will be sent to our home late this afternoon. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a little ashamed. How could she forget her mother’s birthday? While she was chatting with her father, Jane looked around the room and saw a lot of dirty clothes on the sofa. The floor had not been cleaned for days, since her mother had been at work all week. She looked at the clock again and was sure that she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the phone. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 Jane hurried to Tom’s room, gently waking him up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Jane hurried to Tom’s room, gently waking him up. Tom jumped out of bed immediately when he heard about the surprise for their mother. They divided the tasks: Jane would clean the living room and wash the dirty clothes, while Tom would sweep the floor and decorate the house with some colorful balloons they had saved. They worked busily, singing and laughing. By noon, the house was tidied up and looked warm and beautiful. Then they started to prepare a simple but delicious lunch for their mother. “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. Their mother was shocked and then moved to tears. She looked at the clean house, the delicious food on the table and the balloons around. Just then, the doorbell rang. It was the cake ordered by their father. The three of them sat around the table, enjoying the cake and the happy moment. Their mother hugged them tightly, saying it was the best birthday she had ever had. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了简在周末早上九点被电话吵醒，接起电话发现是身为海员、很少回家的父亲打来的。父亲提醒简今天是母亲的生日，他订了蛋糕下午会送到，简意识到自己竟忘了母亲生日，决定和弟弟汤姆一起给母亲准备惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“简急忙来到汤姆的房间，轻轻地把他唤醒”可知，第一段可围绕简和汤姆具体如何分工准备惊喜展开。描述汤姆听到计划后立刻起床，两人分配任务，简负责打扫客厅和洗衣服，汤姆扫地并装饰房间，中午时分房子被收拾得整洁漂亮，他们还开始准备午餐。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘妈妈，生日快乐！’当他们的母亲打开门时，简和汤姆大声说道。”可知，第二段续写体现母亲回家看到惊喜后的反应。母亲震惊且感动落泪，此时父亲订的蛋糕也到了，一家人围坐享受蛋糕和欢乐时刻，母亲表示这是她过的最好的生日。 2.续写线索：简和汤姆分工打扫、装饰和准备午餐——母亲看到惊喜感动——一家人享受欢乐时刻 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分配：divide /allocate ②打扫：clean /sweep ③装饰：decorate /adorn 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished ②快乐的：happy/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tom jumped out of bed immediately when he heard about the surprise for their mother.（运用 when 引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] The three of them sat around the table, enjoying the cake and the happy moment.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第一学期期末调研测试 高二英语试题 2026.2 本试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答案一律写在答题卡上。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，认真核对条形码上的姓名、准考证号，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡的指定位置上。 2.答题时使用0.5毫米的黑色中性（签字）笔或碳素笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号在各题的答题区域（黑色线框）内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 4.保持卡面清洁，不折叠，不破损。 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卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B A couple of years ago, Brian Floca was on an island off the coast of Maine when a storm rolled in. “There was this kind of electric charge in the air,” he remembers, “The sensory feeling of the storm coming — the wind, the waves.” But also the question — “Is this safe?” That memory inspired his new children’s book, Island Storm, about two kids who feel a storm coming, pull on their boots and head to the sea. As the waves crash and the rain falls harder, they ask each other, “Is this enough? Or do we try for more?” The siblings (兄弟姐妹) decide to go on. Storms accompany children through their growth, allowing them to push boundaries, feel fear, and learn from adventures. “It’s about an urge we all have, as adults and as kids,” says Floca. Though, he laughs, the goal is not to encourage kids to go storm-chasing. It’s to encourage them to be kids. Floca invited Sydney Smith for illustrations. “I don’t think there’s anyone out there right now who handles paint, light and weather with such depth of feeling,” Floca explains. “The illustrations can be a little bit scary, capturing the genuine fear you feel in something as powerful as a summer storm.” “Childhood is about discovering the line by crossing it,” says illustrator Smith. “This book acknowledges what childhood is about — going too far, coming back and learning on your own. You’re allowed that freedom.” Ultimately, it’s also a book about safety. The siblings are there for each other, their mom is waiting for them at home, the storm will pass and the skies will clear. 4. What inspired Floca to write Island Storm? A. His love for adventures. B. His encounter with a storm. C. His curiosity about nature. D. His memory of chasing storms. 5. What does the storm symbolize in the book? A. The protective role of family. B. A warning against daring behavior. C. The uncontrollable power of nature. D. The necessary challenges in a child’s growth. 6. What does Floca imply about the illustrations? A. They outperform the plots. B. They show multiple techniques. C. They express emotion vividly. D. They display real-life situations. 7. What is an ideal childhood like in Smith’s eyes? A. It values exploration and discovery. B. It encourages continuous travel. C. It combines adventure and safety. D. It provides complete freedom. C Bioengineers have introduced a new method of food production that could dramatically reshape agriculture, potentially making it more eco-friendly, and adaptable to environments like space. Called “electro-agriculture ”, this system would replace traditional photosynthesis (光合作用) — a process that only changes around 1% of light energy into usable chemical energy in plants — with a solar-powered reaction that effectively changes carbon dioxide (CO₂) into an organic molecule (有机分子) that plants could use as food. The current version of electro-agriculture achieves about 4% efficiency — four times higher than photosynthesis. “Since electro-agriculture is not dependent on climate conditions like traditional farming, it could serve as a precious method for producing additional food when necessary. With global climate change affecting agriculture, new food production technologies are becoming increasingly vital to balancing food markets and supporting a growing population”, senior author Feng Jiao said. In electro-agriculture solar plates would be used to power a chemical reaction between CO₂ and water, producing acetate (醋酸盐). Plants would be reengineered to use this acetate as a primary energy source instead of relying on photosynthesis. Robert Jinkerson, a biological engineer, sees this technology as a major move forward. “If we don’t need to grow plants with sunlight anymore, then we can decouple agriculture from the environment and grow food in indoor, controlled environments,” he said. The change could move agriculture into upright, multi-story indoor farms where solar power is collected outside the building to drive plant growth inside. So far, researchers have engineered plants that can use acetate in combination with photosynthesis, but the ultimate goal is to create plants that rely entirely on acetate for energy. While plant research is still in its early stages, other species like mushrooms have already naturally used acetate as an energy source. This means the technology could be applied to these food-producing beings much sooner in the market. 8. What is the key to electro-agriculture? A. Promoting energy change efficiency. B. Increasing plants’ adaptation to light. C. Offering plants sufficient nutrition. D. Reproducing photosynthesis indoors. 9. What did Feng Jiao take electro-agriculture as? A. A short-term fix for climate change. B. A valuable solution for food supply. C. A new exploration of traditional farming. D. A possible replacement for organic farming. 10. What does the underlined word “decouple” mean in paragraph 5? A. Protect. B. Separate. C. Recover. D. Choose. 11. What would be the best title of the text? A. Climate change affects agriculture. B. Electro-agriculture will replace traditional agriculture. C. Plants need no photosynthesis. D. Electro-agriculture makes indoor farms possible. D “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 12. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A.

They were simply asked a “What if…?” question. So, what lies behind this issue? Educator Ken Robinson observed that our school systems often fail to develop students’ natural creativity. ____19____ Studies show that while teachers say they value independent thinking, they often reward behavior that is simply obedient (顺从的). As a result, we create a workforce that follows instructions well but struggles to innovate. In short, we tell students to color inside the lines, but then expect adults to think outside the box. ____20____ How can we do this? First, teachers should ask more open-ended questions to encourage different ways of thinking. It is also crucial to create a safe classroom environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. By doing so, we can better equip students to solve complex problems with flexibility and innovation in the future. A. Avoiding risks is a natural tendency. B. However, they have the potential to succeed. C. To find out, I approached a group of fourth-graders. D. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization. E. The results, as you can see, were diverse and inventive. F. Seldom do we consider the possibility of multiple answers. G. It’s time to break free from the “single right answer” mindset. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After the planned itinerary (行程), we ended our grand family visit to the Grand Canyon.

She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the table. It was already nine o’clock! Although Jane was still very sleepy, she knew she had to get up because her mother was working in her office and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was always sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and ran to the living room. When she picked up the phone, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning!” It was from her father, who was a sailor and rarely came home. Suddenly, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born into a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities. They were the pride of the family. “Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling us so early on the weekend?” Jane said, pretending to be annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered a cake online and it will be sent to our home late this afternoon. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a little ashamed. How could she forget her mother’s birthday? While she was chatting with her father, Jane looked around the room and saw a lot of dirty clothes on the sofa. The floor had not been cleaned for days, since her mother had been at work all week. She looked at the clock again and was sure that she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the phone. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 Jane hurried to Tom’s room, gently waking him up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
