Nowadays,opinions vary among people towards physical and online bookstores.From my perspective,I tend to opt for the latter.The reasons are as follows. First and foremost,online bookstores offer a wide range of selections,even some classic editions that are hard to find in physical ones.What's more,just with a click on the screen,we can pick and purchase books anywhere and anytime,which saves us a large amount of time.Additionally,besides the pocket-friendly discounts online,what seems unique about online bookstores is the frank book reviews from other readers,which may also surprise us All in all,I prefer online bookstores for their extensive options,time economy and high efficiency. 英语答案第1页（共2页） 读后续写： After much hesitation,I called Mom for help.I told her about the old lady murmuring My...daughter..."and my concern that she might be lost.Hearing what I said,Mom anived in a hury,her nursing home uniform still on.She gently approached and held the lady's hands softly."Auntie,I'm from Greenfield.Do you live there?"With her eyes lighting up,she nodded slightly. After checking with her workmates,mom confirmed she was actually from the nursing home where she worked.She then carefully took her by the arm and whispered comforting words in her ear. Mom's gentle care for the old lady inspired me to do something for the mirsing home.The next weekends,I often went to Greenfield with Mom.I helped comb their hair and listened to their stories,just as Mom did.I also sang the songs for the seniors,who clapped warmly.Seeing their bright smiles,I finally understood Mom's choice-to devote herself to caring for those in need. Now,I become a volunteer there,deeply realizing that love and kindness are the warmest companions for everyone,and that helping others brings a profound joy which enriches my soul. 英语答案第2页（共2页）长沙市2026年高三年级模拟考试 科目：英语 (试题卷) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填 写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把 答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡 皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案编号。回答非选择题时， 将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.本试卷共12页，如缺页，考生须及时报告监 考老师，否则后果自负。 4.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 姓 名 准考证号 祝你考试倾利！ 长沙市2026年高三年级模拟考试 英语 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.What ball game does the man play to get into shape?

B Mark Twain's words strike a deep chord (with writers,"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." This quote shows the tiring process of rewriting a novel.The first draft feels like an exciting first date-full of promise and relaxation.You finish with a broad smile,imagining readers applauding your brilliance. But that honeymoon period lasts only about 48 hours.Soon,the sinking feeling sets in as you revisit your draft,realizing the hard part has just begun.Rewriting is where real writers emerge.It's time to dig deep,pulling out the tools and techniques you've gathered over theyears. You revisit your favorite authors,hoping they'll offer guidance for navigating the rocky road of revision. Rewriting demands you comb through each sentence,ensuring it contains the exact right word.Every character must earn its place in the story,and each chapter should contribute meaningfully to the narrative.Even your beloved pieces of dialogue may need to be cut. I learned this while working on my novel.The rewriting process haunted (me,and I often questioned if the effort was worth it.One night,nearing 2 a.m.after an exhausting session, I thought about abandoning my work.That's when I came across the film In Time,which highlighted my deepest fear:the time invested in my novel.At that moment,I struck a deal with myself.I decided to cease the self-criticism and recapture the joy that fueled my writing.I committed to evaluating my work page by page,asking,"Do I love it?"If not,I replaced it. Here's my advice:reawaken your passion and examine your work one page at a time. Writing is a journey,and the rewriting period bridges inspiration and a satisfying finished product. Remember,the"right word is the key to excellence. 英语试题第4页（共12页） 24.What do Mark Twain's words imply? A.Revising is a rocky road. B.Readers'feeling matters. C.Quoting precisely is a must. D.The first draft rarely falls short. 25.What does the author think of rewriting? A.Time-wasting.B.Labor-saving. C.Heartbreaking. D.Painstaking. 26.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Which word should be highlighted. B.Why the writing process is questioned. C.What the film In Time talks about. D.How the passion for rewriting is fueled. 27.What does the author's advice show? A.The role of inspiration in writing. B.The importance of proper wording. C.The reason for making rewriting unique. D.The journey to creating an excellent product. C When we talk of human actions harming the environment,we often think of pollution,overuse of resources or destruction of habitats.But introducing new species into areas where they don't naturally live can also be destructive.One such invasive()species is the zebra mussel. Zebra mussels live in fresh water and are native to the Caspian and Black Seas,which are found in between Europe and Asia.These seas are less salty than most,so a freshwater species like the zebra mussel can live there and in nearby lakes.By attaching onto ships,the mollusks (软体动物)have spread to much of Europe and North America,.causing a problem for the environment and humans alike. When species are abruptly introduced to a new ecosystem,they often damage the balance of that ecosystem,and zebra mussels are no exception..They feed by phytoplankton(浮游植物) and other nutrients out of the water when they pass through their shells,and they do so with striking efficiency.This means that when zebra mussels arrive in a new area,they consume so much phytoplankton that other species that also eat the same food source struggle to get a sufficient amount of food.Since those other creatures,in turn,are a food source for still other species,zebra mussels harm everything in the lake. Zebra mussels also create problems for humans because they multiply so quickly.They often grow on objects made by humans,and groups of them can prevent these objects from functioning.For example,zebra mussels have been known to obstruct the flow of water through pipes,which can prevent communities from getting clean drinking water.They attach to these objects firmly enough that they can prove difficult and expensive to clean. 英语试题第5页（共12页） Removal of zebra mussels is incredibly difficult,so only by stopping them from spreading can people limit the troubles they cause.Governments of areas affected are taking steps to prevent their spread mostly by privately-owned boats.So,boaters must clean,drain ()and dry their boats and motors before entering one lake or another to defend against their further spread. 28.Why does the author mention the environmental problems in the beginning?

B.They only exist in Europe and Asia. C.They often break the balance of the ecosystem. D.They eat less phytoplankton than any other species. 30.What does the underlined word"obstruct'in paragraph 4 mean? A.Avoid. B.Block. C.Control D.Direct. 31.What does the last paragraph focus on? A.The damages caused by zebra mussels. B.The difficulties zebra mussels encounter. C.The measures to stop zebra mussels spreading D.The rapid reproduction speed of zebra mussels. D Scientists at Finland's Aalto University have found that using artificial intelligence (AI) almost removes and reverses (the Dunning-Kruger effect,a phenomenon that people who aren't very good at a given task are overconfident,while people with high ability tend to underestimate their skills.Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems,everyone(regardless of their skill level)tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers,with the most experienced AI users doing so the most. In the study,scientists gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks,with half allowed to use ChatGPT.Both groups were later quizzed on both their AI literacy and how well they thought they performed,and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately. The reasons behind the findings are varied.Because AI users were usually satisfied with their answer after only one question or prompt ()accepting the answer without further checking or confirmation,they can be said to have engaged in what Robin Welsch,an Aalto University computer scientist,calls"cognitive (offloading"-exploring the question with reduced reflection,and approaching it in a more"shallow"way. 英语试题第6页（共12页） Such less engagement in our own reasoning means we bypass the usual feedback process of critical thinking,which reduces our ability to assess our performance accurately.Even more revealing was the fact that we all overestimate our abilities when using AI,regardless of our intelligence,with the gap between high-and low-skill users reducing.The study owed this to the fact that large language models (LLMs)help everyone perform better to some degree.Meanwhile, the Aalto team wamed of several potential impacts as AI becomes more widespread. Firstly,metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer.Without reflecting on results,error checking or deeper reasoning,we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably,the scientists said in the study.What's more,the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean we'll all continue to overestimate our abilities while using Al,with the more AI-literate among us doing so even more-leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their skills. 32.What did Aalto University researchers discover about AI chatbot use? A.Low-ability users became less confident. B.It strengthened the Dunning-Kruger Effect. C.Users generally over-trusted the chatbot's answers. D.Only beginners often thought highly of their abilities. 33.Which aspect of the research is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The purpose. B.The process. C.The subjects. D.The findings. 34.Why do the users often overestimate their abilities? A.LLMs'aid improves users'task performance. B.Users often skip the process of critical thinking. C.AI tools contribute to users'metacognitive accuracy. D.The gap between high-and low-skill AI users is bridged. 35.What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph? A.Regulations for narrowing AI users'skill gap. B.Guidelines for sourcing information reliably. C.Methods for preventing users'cognitive decline. D.Tips for improving the subjects'performance. 英语试题第7页（共12页） 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。 When Becca's parents informed her that the family would be hiking to Big Bend National Park in West Texas for spring break,Becca was not excited,because the only things she knew about it were some things her friend Shayla had told her that the cell phone signal was not very good,and that there was very little to do.36 Becca threw her bag into the car,rolling her eyes,and asked how long it was going to take to get to the infamous park."It's about a five-hour drive,"her mom replied.37 "Is the scenery at least good along the way?she complained extremely unhappily. 38.She rested her head against a pillow and immediately fell asleep.After hours of tossing (and turning in the uncomfortable back seat,Becca was awakened by her mother's excited announcement:“We're here!” Looking wide-eyed into the canyon(l峡谷)，Becca suddenly spotted a large animal.“Dad, look!"she shouted.After a while,Becca thought about the opinions her friend Shayla had shared with her."See,a mountain lion!Amazing!"The three of them stared at it in open-mouthed astonishment.39 "Uh,Mom,Dad,"Becca finally said as the lion slid into some tall bushes."I didn't know Big Bend is so beautiful or that mountain lions live here.I can hardly believe what I am seeing!" "Yeah,honey.That's the wonder of nature-you're always discovering something new!"her mom exclaimed in excitement."That'true.Becca.Just keep our minds open to things.40 her dad added. A.We'll definitely find miracles in nature B.Hearing that,her mood soured even more C.Becca was surprised by the breathtaking sight D.Shayla went back to her room to sleep in silence E.You should work with,not against,Mother Nature F.Becca jumped unwillingly into the back seat without a word G.So,she questioned her parents'decision from the bottom of her heart 英语试题第8页（共12页）
