While many of the US’s most beautiful public libraries can be found in major cities, you might be surprised to learn what else is out there. New York Public Library Constructed: 1895 Location: Manhattan, NYC This famous library is the fourth-largest public library in the world — so don’t get lost. This grand building stands out with its Beaux-Arts style, which has a touch of Brutalism. It’s known as a local attraction for New Yorkers, who enjoy people-watching on its steps and looking through its bookshelves. Boston Public Library Constructed: 1848 Location: Copley Square, Boston I can’t believe the Boston Public Library isn’t at the top of amazing library lists — and that it’s not as well-known as the New York Public Library. The building looks like something magical and unreal, reminding people of the styles of old European palaces and churches. Though its outside is grand and a bit cold, its inside is warm and impressive. Iowa’s State Library Constructed: 1886 Location: Capitol Building, Des Moines This library is located in the Capitol building in Des Moines. It is open to the public but, given the focus on law books, is most often used by lawyers and students. Its traditional Victorian design is both colorful and playful. Harold Washington Library Center Constructed: 1991 Location: South Loop, Chicago Who says gorgeous architecture can’t be modern? While dozens of cities around the US have constructed modernist libraries, Chicago’s former mayor chose a more classic design for the 1991 rebuild of the city’s public library. 1. Which library has the longest history? A. Iowa’s Law Library. B. Boston Public Library. C. New York Public Library. D. Harold Washington Library Center. 2. What do we know about New York Public Library? A. It has age-old bookshelves. B. It features confusing design. C. It is the largest library in the world. D. It is frequently visited by the locals. 3. What is special about Iowa’s State Library? A. It has a long history. B. It is designed in a classical style. C. It mainly collects law-related books. D. It offers free access to the public. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国四座特色公共图书馆，含纽约、波士顿、爱荷华州立及芝加哥哈罗德・华盛顿图书馆，分别说明其建造时间、位置与建筑风格等特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中各图书馆的建造时间：Boston Public Library（1848）、Iowa’s State Library（1886）、New York Public Library（1895）、Harold Washington Library Center（1991）可知，波士顿公共图书馆最早建造，历史最悠久。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据New York Public Library中“It’s known as a local attraction for New Yorkers, who enjoy people-watching on its steps and looking through its bookshelves.(它是纽约人的本地热门去处，人们喜欢在图书馆的台阶上看人，也喜欢徜徉在书架之间。)”可知，纽约公共图书馆经常有当地人前往。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Iowa’s State Library中“It is open to the public but, given the focus on law books, is most often used by lawyers and students.(它对公众开放，但由于馆藏以法律书籍为主，最常被律师和学生使用。)”可知，爱荷华州立图书馆的特别之处是其馆藏主要和法律相关。故选C项。 B On December 6, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York launched its AR Ancient Egyptian Art Immersive Exhibition, a project designed to let visitors “interact” with 3D-rendered relics like the Rosetta Stone replica via mobile devices. A December 2025 research brief from Museum Management and Curatorship pointed out that while global museums have rushed to adopt AR technology since 2025, few have studied how different age groups respond to such digital experiences. To fill this gap, the Met teamed up with researchers to conduct a 10-day trial from January 8 to 17. They divided 300 visitors into two groups: Group A (18–25 years old, digital natives) and Group B (60+ years old, traditional museum-goers). Each visitor was given a pre-installed AR device and asked to complete three tasks: “touch” a virtual papyrus scroll, “assemble” a broken statue, and “listen” to a simulated ancient priest’s narration. Researchers recorded their operation time, error rates, and post-visit satisfaction scores. The results showed stark differences between the two groups. Group A finished all tasks in an average of 8 minutes with a 5% error rate, and 92% of them rated the experience “highly satisfying”, saying the AR feature made “dry historical facts come alive”. In contrast, Group B took an average of 22 minutes with a 41% error rate; 67% of them complained that the device’s operation steps were too complicated, and some even abandoned the tasks halfway. The biggest pain point for older visitors was the lack of voice guidance—they had to rely on text instructions that were hard to read on small screens. On January 10, 2026, the museum revised the AR system based on the feedback: it added one-click activation, voice prompts in multiple languages, and enlarged text options. A follow-up survey of 50 Group B visitors who re-experienced the exhibition found that their average task time dropped to 12 minutes, error rate fell to 12%, and satisfaction jumped to 89%. Dr. Lisa Carter, the lead researcher, noted, “Digitalization in museums shouldn’t just cater to young people. The key to success is to design inclusive experiences that bridge the tech gap between generations.” 4 What is the main content of Paragraph 2? A. The purpose of the AR exhibition B. The process of the research trial C. The problems of the AR device D. The results of the satisfaction survey 5. What does the underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Slight B. Subtle C. Gradual D. Obvious 6. What was the main difficulty for Group B visitors in the initial trial? A. They had no interest in ancient Egyptian art B. They did not get voice guidance for the device C. They did not know how to download the AR app D. They were not familiar with the museum’s layout 7. What can we infer from Dr. Lisa Carter’s words? A. Young people are not the target audience of museum AR exhibitions B. Inclusive digital design can help all visitors enjoy museum experiences C. The Met’s AR exhibition will not be open to young visitors anymore D. Traditional museum experiences are more popular than digital ones 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了纽约大都会艺术博物馆推出AR古埃及艺术沉浸式展览，通过不同年龄组游客的试验反馈，博物馆对AR系统进行了改进，强调博物馆数字化应设计包容性体验以弥合代际技术差距。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To fill this gap, the Met teamed up with researchers to conduct a 10-day trial from January 8 to 17. They divided 300 visitors into two groups: Group A (18–25 years old, digital natives) and Group B (60+ years old, traditional museum-goers). Each visitor was given a pre-installed AR device and asked to complete three tasks: “touch” a virtual papyrus scroll, “assemble” a broken statue, and “listen” to a simulated ancient priest’s narration. Researchers recorded their operation time, error rates, and post-visit satisfaction scores (为了填补这一空白，大都会博物馆与研究人员合作，于1月8日至17日进行了为期10天的试验。他们将300名游客分为两组：A组（18 - 25岁，数字原生代）和B组（60岁以上，传统博物馆参观者）。每位游客都得到一个预装了AR的设备，并被要求完成三项任务：“触摸”一个虚拟的纸莎草卷轴，“组装”一尊破碎的雕像，以及“聆听”一位模拟的古代祭司的叙述。研究人员记录了他们的操作时间、错误率和参观后的满意度得分)”可知，游客被分成两组，每位游客都得到一个预装了AR的设备，并被要求完成三项任务，研究人员记录了他们的操作时间、错误率和参观后的满意度得分，可推理出第二段主要讲述了研究试验的过程，故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Group A finished all tasks in an average of 8 minutes with a 5% error rate, and 92% of them rated the experience “highly satisfying”, saying the AR feature made “dry historical facts come alive”. In contrast, Group B took an average of 22 minutes with a 41% error rate; 67% of them complained that the device’s operation steps were too complicated, and some even abandoned the tasks halfway (A组平均用8分钟完成所有任务，错误率为5%，92%的人认为这次体验“非常满意”，称AR功能让“枯燥的历史事实变得生动起来”。相比之下，B组平均用时22分钟，错误率为41%；67%的人抱怨设备操作步骤过于复杂，有些人甚至中途放弃了任务)”可知，A组和B组在完成任务的时间、错误率以及对体验的满意度等方面存在明显的不同，所以“stark”意思是“明显的”。A. Slight轻微的；B. Subtle微妙的；C. Gradual逐渐的；D. Obvious明显的。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The biggest pain point for older visitors was the lack of voice guidance—they had to rely on text instructions that were hard to read on small screens.(老年游客最大的痛点是缺乏语音指导——他们不得不依赖在小屏幕上很难阅读的文字说明)”可知，B组游客在初次试验中的主要困难是没有得到设备的语音指导。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Lisa Carter, the lead researcher, noted, “Digitalization in museums shouldn’t just cater to young people. The key to success is to design inclusive experiences that bridge the tech gap between generations.”(首席研究员丽莎·卡特博士指出：“博物馆的数字化不应该只迎合年轻人。成功的关键在于设计包容性的体验，弥合代际之间的技术差距。”)”可知，首席研究员丽莎·卡特博士指出：“博物馆的数字化不应该只迎合年轻人。成功的关键在于设计包容性的体验，弥合代际之间的技术差距，从丽莎·卡特博士的话中可以推断出包容性的数字设计可以帮助所有游客享受博物馆体验，强调了设计包容性体验的重要性，故选B。 C We hear them daily, whether it’s ‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’ from your mom or ‘words fail me’ for something amazing. These colorful gems (宝石), idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations. Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. For example, when a person needs a better way to say that something is expensive, he might hesitate, searching through the empty files of their brain for something, and come up empty-handed. He ends up saying that, “The new car costs too much.” This is fine, but perhaps ‘costs an arm and a leg’ would have been more effective. One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension. Another two idioms are also worth mentioning. Imagine you have a deadline for a five-page essay that you haven’t ‘gotten the ball rolling’. You might say you’re ‘in a pickle’, an idiom for a difficult situation with no obvious solution. Now, consider that same issue with the essay. You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling. Idioms are crucial for communication in music, literature, or just in everyday conversations. Beyond this, these figures of speech are vital to understand what others mean if they use them. Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms. 8. What do we know about idioms from the first two paragraphs? A. Idioms make conversations more demanding. B. Idioms are challenging to recall from our minds. C. Idioms are easy to perceive from separate words. D. Idioms add flavor and efficiency to communication. 9. What does the author’s story imply in Paragraph 3? A. The girl was unreasonable for reporting. B. Teachers are supposed to know all the idioms. C. Idioms can cause confusion in a group project. D. Understanding idioms prevents misunderstandings. 10. If you want to strengthen optimism in a bad situation, which idiom is appropriate? A. ‘in a pickle’ B. ‘keep your shirt on’ C. ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ D. ‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’ 11. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. Appealing for actions. B. Offering advice. C. Pushing literal speech. D. Applying idioms to arts. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍习语的特点与表达优势，结合亲身经历和实例讲解多款习语，指出习语对交流的重要性，呼吁人们学习习语。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“These colorful gems (宝石), idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations. (这些色彩斑斓的宝石，即那些其含义无法从单个单词中直接推断出来的习语，对于丰富我们日常的交流内容具有重要作用。)”和第二段中“Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. (每个人偶尔都会遇到难以找到恰当言语来表达自己这种状况。)”可知，习语为我们的交流增添了趣味和有效性。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension. (我清楚记得的一个成语是“别露出破绽”。这件事发生在二年级时，当时我们正在进行一个小组项目。当我抱怨那个情绪暴躁的女孩不配合时，她生气了。我告诉她“保持冷静”，但她误解了我的意思，并把这个话告诉了我们的老师。她不明白这个成语的意思，我觉得这很不合理。这个成语实际上源于19世纪，那时男人在争吵或打架前需要脱掉衬衫。“别露出破绽”这个说法是用来避免进一步的紧张局面的)”可知，作者的故事在第3段中暗示了理解习语可以防止误解。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling. (你才刚刚开始，很明显你无法按时完成任务。与其忧心忡忡，不如寻找积极的一面，希望能从这一混乱局面中找到一丝希望。这个成语“每片乌云都有银边”就表达了这种感受。)”可知，如果你想在困境中加强乐观情绪，那么“every cloud has a silver lining (黑暗中总有一线光明)”这个习语是合适的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms. (了解一些习语也能帮助我们在交流时更有力地表达观点。除了自己的亲身经历之外，我们也该去学习一些习语了。)”可知，作者在最后一段主要呼吁采取行动去学习习语。故选A。 D Picture this: you are in a position where your phone runs out of battery but you don’t have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out? It’s an option that isn’t as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced. The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts (毫瓦特) of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices. “Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices,” explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. “The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are made up of silicon, wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.” Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. “Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype shows how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore. Solar power innovations are key to transitioning (转变) human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real “days” or “nights” in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what’s currently achievable here on Earth’s surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species. 12. What makes the new fabric special? A. It can produce electricity from sunlight. B. It can change color in the sun. C. It is much softer than standard clothing. D. It can adjust body temperature. 13. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Progress. B. Distinction. C. Similarity. D. Mismatch. 14. How does the innovation impact our relationship with technology according to Theodore? A. By making electronic devices cheaper and cheaper. B. By increasing our dependence on electronic devices. C. By making us more aware of our energy consumption. D. By reducing the demand for fixed charging equipment. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Solar energy will soon replace fossil fuels. B. Solar power is more useful in space than on Earth. C. Small changes can contribute to a renewable energy future. D. Space exploration is necessary for advancing solar technology. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍诺丁汉特伦特大学研发的新型太阳能面料，可给小型设备充电，兼具普通面料特性，助力可再生能源转型。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts (毫瓦特) of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices. (该样品包含1200块微型太阳能电池板，每块尺寸仅为5毫米乘1.5毫米。它可以产生400毫瓦的电能，足以给电子设备充电。)”可知，这种新型面料的特别之处在于能利用阳光发电。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are made up of silicon, wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.(我们研发的这种材料外观和性能都与普通面料无异，还可以机洗。此外，由于这些微型太阳能电池由硅制成，与标准服装相比，穿着者甚至察觉不到面料成分的discrepancy。)”可知，这种面料和普通面料差别极小，穿着者无法察觉，因此“discrepancy”的意思是“差异、区别”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype shows how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore. (“正如这款原型所展示的，我们有望不再需要给许多设备插墙充电，电子织物确实拥有改变人类与科技之间关系的潜力。”西奥多补充道。)”可知，西奥多认为这项创新能减少人们对固定充电设备的需求。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species.(尽管未来这可能会给我们带来巨大助力，但令人鼓舞的是，我们知道即使是像服装成分这样的微小变化，也能帮助推动人类社会必要的可再生能源转型。)”可知，微小的改变也能为可再生能源的未来做出贡献。故选C项。 第二节 七选五 (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。选项中有两项多余选项。 Want to write better? There’s a new book that says simple writing is best. Do you check your text messages before sending? ____16____ If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect. This book argues that it’s important to write carefully, even for quick messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky Fink, from Harvard, wrote “Writing For Busy Readers”. It’s smartly named because everyone’s busy today. People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts. ____17____ Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone. The authors share good writing tips, like cutting unnecessary words and using simple words everyone knows. They say it’s important to keep sentences simple. They tested the idea that less is more. For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%). ____18____ The same is true for text messages. In another test, they sent a short message asking parents to take a survey. It got more responses than a longer, more sympathetic one. Sometimes, being short and clear works better than being kind but ignored. It’s not just what you say, but how quickly you say it that matters. It’s not just about word count. ____19____ Reducing the number of options has the same effect. Short, active sentences with common words are best. From posts to online reviews, following these rules gets more likes and shares. Serious writers should pay attention too. A study found that companies using long sentences and complicated words were seen as less moral and trustworthy. ____20____ It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all. A. If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer too. B. They can also get puzzled by social media platforms. C. If you do, you probably like making even the simplest messages perfect. D. They found that longer messages make people think the task will take longer. E. Keeping messages to one idea, or as few as possible, helps make sure they’re read, remembered, and acted on. F. Your goal is to convey enough passion that your readers think the issue in your message is worth caring about. G. Explaining the thinking behind your messages will allow readers to see that you know what you’re talking about. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一本关于如何更好地写作的书。 【16题详解】 上文“Do you check your text messages before sending?(你发短信前检查过吗？)”提出一个问题：你发短信前检查过吗？结合下文“If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect.(如果不，你可能更喜欢快速完成任务，即使它们并不完美)”可知，空处是描述肯定的情况，C项“如果你检查，你可能喜欢把最简单的信息变得完美”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts.(人们每天都会收到很多信息，从电子邮件到短信)”提到，人们每天都会收到很多信息，结合下文“Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone.(几乎每个人每天都会多次决定要读什么、略读什么或忽略什么)”可知，人们会对社交媒体平台收到的很多信息感到困惑，B项“他们也会对社交媒体平台感到困惑”符合语境，故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%).(例如，他们给数千名学校董事会成员发了一封电子邮件，要求他们参加一项调查。他们把邮件缩短了，从127个单词缩短到49个单词，得到了两倍的回复(从2.7%增加到4.8%))”可知，缩短邮件得到了两倍的回复，D项“他们发现，较长的信息会让人们认为完成任务需要更长的时间”对上文进一步阐释，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“It’s not just about word count.(这不仅仅是字数的问题)”和下文“Reducing the number of options has the same effect.(减少选项的数量也有同样的效果)”可知，本段是描述缩短邮件得到更多回复的原因，E项“将信息集中在一个想法上，或者尽可能少，有助于确保它们被阅读、记住并采取行动”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 空处是段首主题句，根据下文“It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all.(快速发送信息并寄希望于最好的结果可能是诱人的。但是花时间为读者写作是有好处的。如果你发送了一条匆忙的信息，而读者却忽略了它，那就好像你根本没有发送它一样)”可知，本段是说要花点时间写信息，匆忙的信息得不到好的效果，A项“如果每个人都是忙碌的读者，那么每个人也都是忙碌的作家”适合作为本段主题句，故选A。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, a picky eater living on chicken soup and yogurt, was cautious to try new things due to his phobias (恐惧症).

My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class. We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough. After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me? Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue. Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.” I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came one particular practice. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then came one particular practice. Somehow I was mad and angry, which made my punches suddenly stronger and faster. What amazed me was that gradually I just didn’t have that anger in me. After the practice, all my classmates burst into cheers for my great performance and Mr. Vernon also said that I was making great progress. With his praise I finally found the strength I needed. In the following practices, he was impressed with my good boxing skills, because they were getting powerful. The experience taught me a great lesson. Boxing requires a lot of work and effort, but it has also taught me not to feel discouraged about what others say. Thanks to boxing, I have gradually realized that being short doesn’t define me. If we focus on our strong points and improve our weak ones, there is no reason for us to feel disappointed. Day by day I am becoming increasingly confident, definitely sure nothing will limit me to doing what tall or strong people can do. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物学习拳击为线索展开，讲述了作者在九年级参加拳击班，作为仅有的两个女孩之一，起初因身高和力量不足被男同学取笑。尽管感到沮丧，她通过不断练习逐渐提升技巧。一次练习中，她的愤怒转化为力量，赢得了赞赏。这次经历让她明白，不应被他人言论影响，而应专注于自身优点和改进不足。最终作者变得更加自信，坚信身高或力量无法限制她的能力。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后是一个特别的练习”可知，第一段可描写作者内心的情绪转化为力量，她的拳击取得突破，同学们为作者的表现而欢呼，Vernon老师也表扬作者，以及作者找到了方法，不断进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次经历给我上了很重要的一课”可知，第二段可描写作者领悟到不应被他人的话左右，而应保持专注，以及作者变得越来越自信。 2. 续写线索：特别的练习——作者取得突破——作者不断进步——上了重要一课——作者的领悟——作者更加自信 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①需要：require/need ②意识到：realize/recognize ③专心于：focus on/concentrate on ④限制：limit/restrict 情绪类 ①生气的：angry/annoyed/irritated ②沮丧的：discouraged/frustrated/downhearted 【点睛】[高分句型1] What amazed me was that gradually I just didn’t have that anger in me.

While many of the US’s most beautiful public libraries can be found in major cities, you might be surprised to learn what else is out there. New York Public Library Constructed: 1895 Location: Manhattan, NYC This famous library is the fourth-largest public library in the world — so don’t get lost. This grand building stands out with its Beaux-Arts style, which has a touch of Brutalism. It’s known as a local attraction for New Yorkers, who enjoy people-watching on its steps and looking through its bookshelves. Boston Public Library Constructed: 1848 Location: Copley Square, Boston I can’t believe the Boston Public Library isn’t at the top of amazing library lists — and that it’s not as well-known as the New York Public Library. The building looks like something magical and unreal, reminding people of the styles of old European palaces and churches. Though its outside is grand and a bit cold, its inside is warm and impressive. Iowa’s State Library Constructed: 1886 Location: Capitol Building, Des Moines This library is located in the Capitol building in Des Moines. It is open to the public but, given the focus on law books, is most often used by lawyers and students. Its traditional Victorian design is both colorful and playful. Harold Washington Library Center Constructed: 1991 Location: South Loop, Chicago Who says gorgeous architecture can’t be modern? While dozens of cities around the US have constructed modernist libraries, Chicago’s former mayor chose a more classic design for the 1991 rebuild of the city’s public library. 1. Which library has the longest history? A. Iowa’s Law Library. B. Boston Public Library. C. New York Public Library. D. Harold Washington Library Center. 2. What do we know about New York Public Library? A. It has age-old bookshelves. B. It features confusing design. C. It is the largest library in the world. D. It is frequently visited by the locals. 3. What is special about Iowa’s State Library? A. It has a long history. B. It is designed in a classical style. C. It mainly collects law-related books. D. It offers free access to the public. B On December 6, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York launched its AR Ancient Egyptian Art Immersive Exhibition, a project designed to let visitors “interact” with 3D-rendered relics like the Rosetta Stone replica via mobile devices. A December 2025 research brief from Museum Management and Curatorship pointed out that while global museums have rushed to adopt AR technology since 2025, few have studied how different age groups respond to such digital experiences. To fill this gap, the Met teamed up with researchers to conduct a 10-day trial from January 8 to 17. They divided 300 visitors into two groups: Group A (18–25 years old, digital natives) and Group B (60+ years old, traditional museum-goers). Each visitor was given a pre-installed AR device and asked to complete three tasks: “touch” a virtual papyrus scroll, “assemble” a broken statue, and “listen” to a simulated ancient priest’s narration. Researchers recorded their operation time, error rates, and post-visit satisfaction scores. The results showed stark differences between the two groups. Group A finished all tasks in an average of 8 minutes with a 5% error rate, and 92% of them rated the experience “highly satisfying”, saying the AR feature made “dry historical facts come alive”. In contrast, Group B took an average of 22 minutes with a 41% error rate; 67% of them complained that the device’s operation steps were too complicated, and some even abandoned the tasks halfway. The biggest pain point for older visitors was the lack of voice guidance—they had to rely on text instructions that were hard to read on small screens. On January 10, 2026, the museum revised the AR system based on the feedback: it added one-click activation, voice prompts in multiple languages, and enlarged text options. A follow-up survey of 50 Group B visitors who re-experienced the exhibition found that their average task time dropped to 12 minutes, error rate fell to 12%, and satisfaction jumped to 89%. Dr. Lisa Carter, the lead researcher, noted, “Digitalization in museums shouldn’t just cater to young people. The key to success is to design inclusive experiences that bridge the tech gap between generations.” 4. What is the main content of Paragraph 2? A. The purpose of the AR exhibition B. The process of the research trial C. The problems of the AR device D. The results of the satisfaction survey 5. What does the underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Slight B. Subtle C. Gradual D. Obvious 6. What was the main difficulty for Group B visitors in the initial trial? A. They had no interest in ancient Egyptian art B. They did not get voice guidance for the device C. They did not know how to download the AR app D. They were not familiar with the museum’s layout 7. What can we infer from Dr. Lisa Carter’s words? A. Young people are not the target audience of museum AR exhibitions B. Inclusive digital design can help all visitors enjoy museum experiences C. The Met’s AR exhibition will not be open to young visitors anymore D. Traditional museum experiences are more popular than digital ones C We hear them daily, whether it’s ‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’ from your mom or ‘words fail me’ for something amazing. These colorful gems (宝石), idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations. Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. For example, when a person needs a better way to say that something is expensive, he might hesitate, searching through the empty files of their brain for something, and come up empty-handed. He ends up saying that, “The new car costs too much.” This is fine, but perhaps ‘costs an arm and a leg’ would have been more effective. One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension. Another two idioms are also worth mentioning. Imagine you have a deadline for a five-page essay that you haven’t ‘gotten the ball rolling’. You might say you’re ‘in a pickle’, an idiom for a difficult situation with no obvious solution. Now, consider that same issue with the essay. You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling. Idioms are crucial for communication in music, literature, or just in everyday conversations. Beyond this, these figures of speech are vital to understand what others mean if they use them. Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms. 8. What do we know about idioms from the first two paragraphs? A. Idioms make conversations more demanding. B. Idioms are challenging to recall from our minds. C. Idioms are easy to perceive from separate words. D. Idioms add flavor and efficiency to communication. 9. What does the author’s story imply in Paragraph 3? A. The girl was unreasonable for reporting. B. Teachers are supposed to know all the idioms. C. Idioms can cause confusion in a group project. D. Understanding idioms prevents misunderstandings. 10. If you want to strengthen optimism in a bad situation which idiom is appropriate? A. ‘in a pickle’ B. ‘keep your shirt on’ C. ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ D. ‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’ 11. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. Appealing for actions. B. Offering advice. C. Pushing literal speech. D. Applying idioms to arts. D Picture this: you are in a position where your phone runs out of battery, but you don’t have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out? It’s an option that isn’t as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced. The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts (毫瓦特) of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices. “Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices,” explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. “The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are made up of silicon, wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.” Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. “Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype shows how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore. Solar power innovations are key to transitioning (转变) human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real “days” or “nights” in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what’s currently achievable here on Earth’s surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species. 12. What makes the new fabric special? A. It can produce electricity from sunlight. B. It can change color in the sun. C. It is much softer than standard clothing. D. It can adjust body temperature. 13. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Progress. B. Distinction. C. Similarity. D. Mismatch. 14. How does the innovation impact our relationship with technology according to Theodore? A. By making electronic devices cheaper and cheaper. B. By increasing our dependence on electronic devices. C. By making us more aware of our energy consumption. D. By reducing the demand for fixed charging equipment. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Solar energy will soon replace fossil fuels. B Solar power is more useful in space than on Earth. C. Small changes can contribute to a renewable energy future. D. Space exploration is necessary for advancing solar technology. 第二节 七选五 (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。选项中有两项多余选项。 Want to write better? There’s a new book that says simple writing is best. Do you check your text messages before sending? ____16____ If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect. This book argues that it’s important to write carefully, even for quick messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky Fink, from Harvard, wrote “Writing For Busy Readers”. It’s smartly named because everyone’s busy today. People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts. ____17____ Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone. The authors share good writing tips, like cutting unnecessary words and using simple words everyone knows. They say it’s important to keep sentences simple. They tested the idea that less is more. For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%). ____18____ The same is true for text messages. In another test, they sent a short message asking parents to take a survey. It got more responses than a longer, more sympathetic one. Sometimes, being short and clear works better than being kind but ignored. It’s not just what you say, but how quickly you say it that matters. It’s not just about word count. ____19____ Reducing the number of options has the same effect. Short, active sentences with common words are best. From posts to online reviews, following these rules gets more likes and shares. Serious writers should pay attention too. A study found that companies using long sentences and complicated words were seen as less moral and trustworthy. ____20____ It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all. A. If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer too. B. They can also get puzzled by social media platforms. C. If you do, you probably like making even the simplest messages perfect. D. They found that longer messages make people think the task will take longer. E. Keeping messages to one idea, or as few as possible, helps make sure they’re read, remembered, and acted on. F. Your goal is to convey enough passion that your readers think the issue in your message is worth caring about. G. Explaining the thinking behind your messages will allow readers to see that you know what you’re talking about. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, a picky eater living on chicken soup and yogurt, was cautious to try new things due to his phobias (恐惧症).

My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class. We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough. After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me? Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue. Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.” I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came one particular practice. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
