Their responses offer valuable insight into the conditions and experiences that develop genuine engagement with writing (see Figure 1). The findings indicate that cultivating (培养) environments that prioritise freedom of choice, personal and social relevance, and meaningful engagement may be instrumental in enhancing young people’s motivation to write in school. Figure 1: Key factors that would stimulate a desire to write in school. Figure 2: A word cloud of students topic preferences for writing. When asked what they would most like to write about in school if they could choose, young writers suggested a wide range of topics. A word cloud visualizes their preferences, where the size of each word corresponds to its frequency in the responses (see Figure 2). Our interviews with students also reveal that they are most motivated when writing allows them to explore both the world around them and the worlds they imagine. Overall, our research highlights that writing in school is most meaningful when it is rooted in connection to self, to others and to the world, and experienced in its power to engage, bring power, inspire thought and shape identity. As a result, it is suggested that school-based writing should not be only about producing perfect texts but about cultivating young writers who are invested, confident, curious and socially connected. 1. What is most likely to motivate students to write? A. Rewards. B. Autonomy. C. Interest. D. Experiences. 2. Which of the following would students probably prefer to write about? A. A famous song. B. A fashion trend. C. A past civilization. D. A personal interview. 3. Who is the passage most probably intended for? A. Policy makers. B. Young writers . C. Lab researchers. D. School educators. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕如何提升学生在学校写作的动机展开，通过调查学生的想法、写作话题偏好等，强调学校写作应注重培养学生成为有投入感、自信、好奇且善于社交的写作者。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据图一中的“Being free to choose what I want to write about 35.7% (能够自由选择自己想写的内容35.7%)”可知，激发学生在学校写作欲望的关键因素中选择自由占比最大，所以重视选择自由即自主性（Autonomy）最有可能激发学生的写作动机。故选B项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When asked what they would most like to write about in school if they could choose, young writers suggested a wide range of topics. A word cloud visualizes their preferences, where the size of each word corresponds to its frequency in the responses (see Figure 2). (当被问及如果可以选择的话，他们最想在学校里写些什么时，年轻的学生们提出了众多不同的主题。一个词云图能够直观地展示他们的偏好，其中每个单词的大小与其在回复中的出现频率成正比（见图 2）)”可知，图中的history单词最大，所以学生可能更喜欢写历史这个话题，也就是“一个过去的文明”。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a result, it is suggested that school-based writing should not be only about producing perfect texts but about cultivating young writers who are invested, confident, curious and socially connected. (因此，建议学校写作不应仅仅关注产出完美的文本，而应注重培养有投入感、自信、好奇且善于社交的年轻写作者)”可推知，文章是针对学校写作给出建议，其目标受众应该是学校教育工作者。故选D项。 B At a small shop outside Abilene, seventeen-year-old Carter Hill rolled in his grandfather’s 1974 Chevy that hadn’t run since spring. He had careful notes and a photo of his grandfather in the visor (遮阳板) — a reminder of why this mattered, why this particular truck needed to run again. The mechanic, Ron Tate, noticed the notes and the photo. It struck him that this wasn’t just a broken truck — it was a connection to someone important, a grandfather’s vehicle that a grandson was trying to restore. Ron could have done what most mechanics do: provided an estimate, fixed the truck efficiently, and charged shop rates. Instead, he spent evenings showing Carter how to do it himself: how to clean the carburetor, how to replace worn-out hoses, how to sand the fenders by hand. He did not do it as an employee, not on the clock, but as someone who recognized that this seventeen-year-old needed more than a fixed truck-he needed to connect to a grandfather, to a generation that built things to last, to a time when vehicles were simpler and more repairable. After two weeks of work, the engine finally turned over with a smooth rumble-the sound of an engine coming back to life after months of silence, and the most satisfying sound in automotive work. It was evidence that all the hours, all the adjustments, all the problem-solving had resulted in something that actually works. Ron didn’t charge shop rates for those two weeks of evening instruction. Nor did he bill for his time or expertise. He gave Carter more valuable things-knowledge, competence, and the confidence that comes from understanding how something works instead of just paying someone else to make it work. That’s not just automotive repair. That’s investing in the next generation. That’s what true guidance looks like when it’s done right. 4. Why did Carter want the truck repaired? A. To restore its original look. B. To sell it for a good price. C. To return it to his grandfather. D. To honor a family memory. 5. What was special about Ron’s service to the boy? A. He worked during off-hours. B. He taught him hands-on skills. C. He fixed the truck more quickly. D. He charged him less for the service. 6. Which of the following best describes Ron? A. Selfless and caring. B. Efficient and imaginative. C. Brave and practical. D. Honest and knowledgeable. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Value of Restoration. B. A Truck for Grandfather. C. A Lesson Beyond Repair. D. Love Between Generations. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述少年卡特修复祖父旧卡车，机修工罗恩无偿教学传递温暖的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He had careful notes and a photo of his grandfather in the visor - a reminder of why this mattered, why this particular truck needed to run again.(他在遮阳板里放了仔细记录的笔记和一张祖父的照片——这提醒着他这件事的意义，为何这辆特殊的卡车必须重新发动起来)”和第二段中的“It struck him that this wasn’t just a broken truck — it was a connection to someone important, a grandfather’s vehicle that a grandson was trying to restore.(他突然意识到，这不仅仅是一辆坏了的卡车——更是与重要亲人的联结，是孙子想要修复的祖父的车)”可知，卡特想修复卡车是为了缅怀与祖父的家族回忆。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Instead, he spent evenings showing Carter how to do it himself: how to clean the carburetor, how to replace worn-out hoses, how to sand the fenders by hand.(相反，他利用晚上时间教卡特自己动手：如何清理化油器，如何更换老化软管，如何手工打磨挡泥板)”可知，罗恩的服务特别之处在于他手把手教卡特修车技能。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Ron didn’t charge shop rates for those two weeks of evening instruction. Nor did he bill for his time or expertise. He gave Carter more valuable things-knowledge, competence, and the confidence.(罗恩没有收取这两周晚间指导的门店费用，也没有收取自己的时间和技术费用，他给了卡特更珍贵的东西——知识、能力和信心)”可知，罗恩无私且体贴他人。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合倒数第二段“Ron didn’t charge shop rates for those two weeks of evening instruction. Nor did he bill for his time or expertise. He gave Carter more valuable things-knowledge, competence, and the confidence that comes from understanding how something works instead of just paying someone else to make it work. (罗恩没有收取这两周晚间指导的门店费用，也没有收取自己的时间和技术费用。他给了卡特更珍贵的东西——知识、能力，以及弄懂事物运作原理带来的信心，而不是单纯花钱请别人修好它)”和最后一段“That’s not just automotive repair. That’s investing in the next generation. That’s what true guidance looks like when it’s done right. (这不仅仅是汽车维修，这是对下一代的投资，这是恰到好处的真正指引)”可知，文章讲述机修工罗恩无偿教学故事，核心不仅是修复卡车，更是罗恩教给卡特修车技能之外的人生道理与温暖指引。因此C项“超越修车本身的”能概括文章主旨，适合作本文的最佳标题。故选C项。 C During a golden sunset, Sharon Wilson pointed a thermal-imaging (热成像) camera at a flagship data centre, revealing the enormous heat its AI supercomputer had been releasing into the sky. Meanwhile, the facility’s core product, like many other AI chatbots, kept generating floods of false or harmful content for users worldwide. “It’s a horrible waste,” said Wilson, director of the campaign group Oilfield Witness. Wilson is not alone in having this concern. Scientists are watching the AI expansion with unease as it pollutes the natural world with carbon and the digital world with dangers ranging from misinformation to poisonous videos. Data centres currently consume about 1% of global electricity, but that share may jump soon. Their slice of power is projected to hit 8.6% by 2035, while the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects data centres to account for at least a fifth of electricity-demand growth to the end of the decade. What if AI could pay off its energy debts by saving carbon elsewhere? That idea was put forward in an IEA report, which argued that AI applications could cut emissions (排放) by far more than data centres produce. A research paper reached a similar conclusion after modelling cases in which AI would help integrate solar and wind into power networks, improve battery chemistry in electric cars, and encourage consumers to make climate-friendly choices. The projected carbon savings carry large uncertainties-greater efficiency can lead to greater use, the IEA warns, and rebound effects may undercut the gains, such as self-driving cars undermining public transport. But other sectors are so polluting, the researchers say, AI would need to cut their emissions by only a small percentage to cover its own carbon cost. Ultimately, given the massive energy consumed by algorithms (算法), it is essential that AI be employed to “do good in terms of fighting the climate crisis-designing the next generation of batteries, tracking deforestation,” as Sasha Luccioni, climate lead at an AI firm, said, rather than “create social-media websites filled with rubbish while data centres are still powered by coal-fired generators.” 8. What does the underlined words “this concern” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The shortage of AI service. B. The unreliability of AI output. C. The release of heat by AI centers. D. The misuse of energy by AI systems. 9. What do the IEA report and the research paper in paragraph 4 agree on? A. AI can be a net carbon saver. B. AI can be energy-efficient. C. AI can provide computing power. D. AI can direct electricity distribution. 10. What is the purpose of paragraph 5? A. To put forward an opposite position. B. To offer a more comprehensive view. C. To add some background information D. To demonstrate the previous argument. 11. What does Sasha Luccioni argue about AI? A. Its design calls for improvement. B. Its energy use demands restriction. C. Its application requires wise guidance. D. Its development deserves public support. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍AI发展带来能源消耗与碳排放问题，同时探讨AI可助力减排的可能，并呼吁合理引导AI应用应对气候危机。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“During a golden sunset, Sharon Wilson pointed a thermal-imaging (热成像) camera at a flagship data centre, revealing the enormous heat its AI supercomputer had been releasing into the sky. Meanwhile, the facility’s core product, like many other AI chatbots, kept generating floods of false or harmful content for users worldwide. “It’s a horrible waste,” said Wilson, director of the campaign group Oilfield Witness. (在金色的日落时分，莎伦·威尔逊将一台热成像相机对准一个旗舰数据中心，揭示出其人工智能超级计算机向空中释放的巨大热量。与此同时，该设施的核心产品，和许多其他人工智能聊天机器人一样，不断为全球用户生成大量虚假或有害内容。“这是一种可怕的浪费，”活动组织“油田见证”的负责人威尔逊说。)”可知，this concern指的是AI系统对能源的滥用。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“That idea was put forward in an IEA report, which argued that AI applications could cut emissions (排放) by far more than data centres produce. A research paper reached a similar conclusion after modelling cases in which AI would help integrate solar and wind into power networks, improve battery chemistry in electric cars, and encourage consumers to make climate-friendly choices. (国际能源署的一份报告提出了这一观点，该报告认为人工智能应用减少的排放量将远远超过数据中心产生的排放量。一篇研究论文在模拟了相关案例后得出了类似的结论，在这些案例中，人工智能将有助于将太阳能和风能融入电力网络，改进电动汽车的电池化学性能，并鼓励消费者做出气候友好型选择。)”可知，两者都认为AI可能成为净碳减排者。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The projected carbon savings carry large uncertainties-greater efficiency can lead to greater use, the IEA warns, and rebound effects may undercut the gains, such as self-driving cars undermining public transport. But other sectors are so polluting, the researchers say, AI would need to cut their emissions by only a small percentage to cover its own carbon cost. (国际能源署警告说，预计的碳减排存在很大的不确定性——更高的效率可能促成更多的使用，反弹效应可能会削弱收益，例如自动驾驶汽车损害公共交通。但研究人员表示，其他行业的污染如此严重，人工智能只需将它们的排放量减少一小部分，就足以弥补自身的碳成本。)”可知，第五段既指出不确定性，又说明AI仍有减排价值，目的是提供更全面的观点。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Ultimately, given the massive energy consumed by algorithms (算法), it is essential that AI be employed to “do good in terms of fighting the climate crisis-designing the next generation of batteries, tracking deforestation,” as Sasha Luccioni, climate lead at an AI firm, said, rather than “create social-media websites filled with rubbish while data centres are still powered by coal-fired generators.”(最终，考虑到算法消耗的巨大能量，正如一家人工智能公司的气候负责人萨沙·卢奇奥尼所说，必须利用人工智能“在应对气候危机方面发挥作用——设计下一代电池，追踪森林砍伐”，而不是“在数据中心仍由燃煤发电机供电的情况下，创建充斥垃圾的社交媒体网站。”)”可知，Sasha Luccioni认为AI的应用需要明智的引导。故选C项。 D Plastic has always been a double-edged sword — multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts (催化剂), and often produce impure results. Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. The team’s secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures — far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence. Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. While questions remain, this innovation marks a hopeful turn in humanity’s long battle with plastic waste. It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. 12. What is a key advantage of the new method of recycling plastics? A. Low costs. B. Simple processes. C. High security. D. Adjustable reaction. 13. What does the novel catalyst help with? A. Speeding up waste collection. B. Adjusting the operating temperature. C. Minimizing harmful byproducts. D. Turning plastics into basic chemicals. 14. How do scientists regard the method? A. A dead end. B. A starting point. C. A stepping stone. D. A definite answer. 15. What inspiration does the innovation bring to us? A. New views create possibilities. B. Human effort overcomes challenges. C. Close teamwork works wonders. D. Tough problems lead to innovations. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中美科学家合作研发的一种新型塑料回收方法，该方法可通过特殊催化反应一步将塑料转化为可用烃类物质，同时分析了其优势、面临的挑战及带来的启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. (通过采用一种特别设计的催化反应，研究人员找到了一种方法，能够将长的塑料聚合物链在单一步骤中分解为短的碳氢化合物分子——这些就是燃料的构成单元。)”可知，新回收方法的关键优势是流程简单。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. (据来自中方合作大学的化学工程师张伟教授介绍，该过程能将 95% 的塑料转化为可用的烃类物质，仅留下少量残留物，且几乎不会产生有害副产品。)”可知，新型催化剂有助于将塑料转化为基础化学物质。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. (基于此，科学家们并不将这种创新视为最终目标，而将其视为迈向更清洁未来的暂时解决方案。)”可知，科学家把该方法看作垫脚石、过渡手段。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. (它将曾经的污染物转化为能源，表明解决重大问题的方法往往在于重新思考：垃圾并非废物，而是潜在资源。)” 可知，这项创新带给我们的启示是新的视角创造可能性。故选A。 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。 All my life I’ve been bad at sports. Last year, I unwillingly joined a football game among friends. ____16____ Instead of running down the clock on the sidelines, I got swept up in the game, rooting for my team to score. Now, our football game is on every Sunday. I remain the worst on the team, but I keep turning up. I love the exciting sense of challenging myself, with zero expectation of ever being actually skillful. ____17____ “Amateurish” hasn’t always been negative, explains author and activist Karen Walrond. “It comes from the Latin, meaning ‘one who loves’.” Her new book In Defense of Dabbling makes the case for “intentional amateurism”: finding an activity we’re drawn to but not necessarily naturally good at, and sticking with it anyway. ____18____ They include mindfulness, curiosity, self-acceptance, play, challenge, connection, and awe. Focusing on these helps us “let go of perfectionism” and appreciate the experience. Walrond herself has tried many new activities: swimming, calligraphy, surfing, night photography, and so on. What stuck was pottery. ____19____ At the wheel, she gets to “shut out the world” and enjoy the fun of free-spirited creation. Being part of an ancient tradition inspires awe, while the community at her studio offers opportunities for connection. In her book, Walrond includes an entire “menu” of activities she still intends to try, inspiring me to steal some for myself. Simply making the attempt enlarges our lives, by encouraging curiosity and taking us beyond our comfort zone. This weekend, in fact, we’re playing our first proper match against another team. ____20____ It’s great to challenge yourself-but part of embracing (欣然接受) intentional amateurism, I’ve decided, is also knowing your limits. A. It’s easy for amateurs to pick up. B. To my great surprise, I enjoyed myself. C. I’m sitting it out, to cheer from the sidelines. D. How can we be more skillful at our hobbies? E. Why does it feel so good to be bad at something? F. It meets many of the intentional amateurism criteria. G. Walrond defines intentional amateurism by seven criteria. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者从不擅长运动却爱上踢足球的经历出发，介绍有意业余主义的理念，强调享受过程而非追求完美。 【16题详解】 根据前文“All my life I’ve been bad at sports. Last year, I unwillingly joined a football game among friends.(我一辈子都不擅长运动。去年，我不情愿地参加了一场朋友间的足球比赛。)”以及后文“Instead of running down the clock on the sidelines, I got swept up in the game, rooting for my team to score.(我没有在场边消磨时间，反而全身心投入比赛，为我的球队加油得分。)”可知，作者本不擅长运动且不情愿参赛，却意外投入其中，此空应表达作者的惊喜感受，B选项“To my great surprise, I enjoyed myself.(令我非常惊讶的是，我玩得很开心。)”承接前后文，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Now, our football game is on every Sunday.

I jumped and nearly slid out of my chair and under the dining room table, but it was too late. He’d already seen me. I forced a smile and thanked him as he turned away. Growing up, I lived in the last house on a dead-end street. Neighbors hardly passed by, let alone strangers. In college, I was blessed with the best roommates one could ever expect. They let me hide behind them when we were around other people. In the subsequent years, I kept working around my anxiety about crowds and people by waiting them out. If I saw someone at the spot I was going to, I’d hang back at a distance until they were done. After my husband and I bought our own house, I’d hang my head over the balcony (阳台) railing to see if anyone was outside. For an introvert (内向者) like me, this was the most convenient way to minimize the chance of encountering a stranger. Nevertheless, I didn’t shut out the world entirely. Like many introverts, I love books. I could connect with all sorts of characters and find endless joy in exploring their worlds. Thus, once we had a house, I couldn’t wait to build a Little Free Library. “You do realize that means people will be coming to the yard, right?” my husband asked. I tried not to think about that part through the preparations and finally launched my dream library. I would sit at my desk at the corner, knowing all sorts of folks from the neighborhood were coming for a book or two and pretending they weren’t there. Every day before closing time, I would check the Library and see what books the visitors had taken and take delight in their choices. It was a way of bonding with fellow book lovers from a safe distance. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Unexpectedly, that distance grew shorter as time went by. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The interactions with these friendly and curious visitors truly changed me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Unexpectedly, that distance grew shorter as time went by. One afternoon, a little girl with a picture book in her hand lingered by the library and waved shyly at me through the window. Mustering up all my courage, I waved back gently with a smile. Later, an elderly man came to return a poetry book and stopped to chat briefly about his favorite verses, his voice warm and soft. I didn’t rush to hide or escape; instead, I listened patiently and even shared my own love for poems. More neighbors began to greet me kindly during their visits, their casual words breaking the invisible barrier little by little. The interactions with these friendly and curious visitors truly changed me. I no longer hid at my desk or checked the balcony nervously before going out. I started standing by the library to welcome readers, asking about their favorite books and even recommending some nice reads. The once-scary strangers became warm acquaintances bonded by books. My anxiety faded away, replaced by genuine joy of connecting with others. The Little Free Library was not just a place for books anymore — it became a bridge that led me out of my shell and into the beautiful warmth of the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了性格内向、惧怕社交的“我”搭建图书角，在与邻里书友的隔空互动中逐渐打破隔阂、走出自我封闭的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“没想到，随着时间的推移，那段距离越来越短了。”可知，接下来可描写随着时间推移，邻里书友的善意举动打破了“我”刻意保持的安全距离，“我”鼓起勇气和小女孩、老人简单互动，隔阂慢慢消解。 ② 由第二段首句“与这些友好又好奇的访客之间的交流，真的改变了我。”可知，接下来可描写这些温和的交流彻底改变了“我”，“我”不再逃避社交，主动迎接访客，内心的焦虑消散，收获了与人联结的快乐。 2. 续写线索： 安全距离逐渐缩短——偶遇害羞小女孩挥手回应——与老人浅聊诗歌心得——邻里善意打破隔阂——主动社交不再逃避——焦虑消散收获温暖——走出封闭拥抱生活 3.词类激活 行为类 ①徘徊：linger/wander/hang around ②冲：rush/race/dash ③询问：ask about/inquire ④消失：fade away/vanish 情绪类 ①害羞的：shyly/timidly ②紧张的：nervously/anxiously 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mustering up all my courage, I waved back gently with a smile.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Later, an elderly man came to return a poetry book and stopped to chat briefly about his favorite verses, his voice warm and soft. （运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型3】 The Little Free Library was not just a place for books anymore — it became a bridge that led me out of my shell and into the beautiful warmth of the world.（运用了that引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 赣州市2026年高三年级摸底考试英语试卷 2026年3月 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Their responses offer valuable insight into the conditions and experiences that develop genuine engagement with writing (see Figure 1). The findings indicate that cultivating (培养) environments that prioritise freedom of choice, personal and social relevance, and meaningful engagement may be instrumental in enhancing young people’s motivation to write in school. Figure 1: Key factors that would stimulate a desire to write in school. Figure 2: A word cloud of students topic preferences for writing. When asked what they would most like to write about in school if they could choose, young writers suggested a wide range of topics. A word cloud visualizes their preferences, where the size of each word corresponds to its frequency in the responses (see Figure 2). Our interviews with students also reveal that they are most motivated when writing allows them to explore both the world around them and the worlds they imagine. Overall, our research highlights that writing in school is most meaningful when it is rooted in connection to self, to others and to the world, and experienced in its power to engage, bring power, inspire thought and shape identity. As a result, it is suggested that school-based writing should not be only about producing perfect texts but about cultivating young writers who are invested, confident, curious and socially connected. 1. What is most likely to motivate students to write? A. Rewards. B. Autonomy. C. Interest. D. Experiences. 2. Which of the following would students probably prefer to write about? A. A famous song. B. A fashion trend. C. A past civilization. D. A personal interview. 3. Who is the passage most probably intended for? A. Policy makers. B. Young writers . C. Lab researchers. D. School educators. B At a small shop outside Abilene, seventeen-year-old Carter Hill rolled in his grandfather’s 1974 Chevy that hadn’t run since spring. He had careful notes and a photo of his grandfather in the visor (遮阳板) — a reminder of why this mattered, why this particular truck needed to run again. The mechanic, Ron Tate, noticed the notes and the photo. It struck him that this wasn’t just a broken truck — it was a connection to someone important, a grandfather’s vehicle that a grandson was trying to restore. Ron could have done what most mechanics do: provided an estimate, fixed the truck efficiently, and charged shop rates. Instead, he spent evenings showing Carter how to do it himself: how to clean the carburetor, how to replace worn-out hoses, how to sand the fenders by hand. He did not do it as an employee, not on the clock, but as someone who recognized that this seventeen-year-old needed more than a fixed truck-he needed to connect to a grandfather, to a generation that built things to last, to a time when vehicles were simpler and more repairable. After two weeks of work, the engine finally turned over with a smooth rumble-the sound of an engine coming back to life after months of silence, and the most satisfying sound in automotive work. It was evidence that all the hours, all the adjustments, all the problem-solving had resulted in something that actually works. Ron didn’t charge shop rates for those two weeks of evening instruction. Nor did he bill for his time or expertise. He gave Carter more valuable things-knowledge, competence, and the confidence that comes from understanding how something works instead of just paying someone else to make it work. That’s not just automotive repair. That’s investing in the next generation. That’s what true guidance looks like when it’s done right. 4. Why did Carter want the truck repaired? A. To restore its original look. B. To sell it for a good price. C. To return it to his grandfather. D. To honor a family memory. 5. What was special about Ron’s service to the boy? A. He worked during off-hours. B. He taught him hands-on skills. C. He fixed the truck more quickly. D. He charged him less for the service. 6. Which of the following best describes Ron? A. Selfless and caring. B. Efficient and imaginative. C. Brave and practical. D. Honest and knowledgeable. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Value of Restoration. B. A Truck for Grandfather. C. A Lesson Beyond Repair. D. Love Between Generations. C During a golden sunset, Sharon Wilson pointed a thermal-imaging (热成像) camera at a flagship data centre, revealing the enormous heat its AI supercomputer had been releasing into the sky. Meanwhile, the facility’s core product, like many other AI chatbots, kept generating floods of false or harmful content for users worldwide. “It’s a horrible waste,” said Wilson, director of the campaign group Oilfield Witness. Wilson is not alone in having this concern. Scientists are watching the AI expansion with unease as it pollutes the natural world with carbon and the digital world with dangers ranging from misinformation to poisonous videos. Data centres currently consume about 1% of global electricity, but that share may jump soon. Their slice of power is projected to hit 8.6% by 2035, while the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects data centres to account for at least a fifth of electricity-demand growth to the end of the decade. What if AI could pay off its energy debts by saving carbon elsewhere? That idea was put forward in an IEA report, which argued that AI applications could cut emissions (排放) by far more than data centres produce. A research paper reached a similar conclusion after modelling cases in which AI would help integrate solar and wind into power networks, improve battery chemistry in electric cars, and encourage consumers to make climate-friendly choices. The projected carbon savings carry large uncertainties-greater efficiency can lead to greater use, the IEA warns, and rebound effects may undercut the gains, such as self-driving cars undermining public transport. But other sectors are so polluting, the researchers say, AI would need to cut their emissions by only a small percentage to cover its own carbon cost. Ultimately, given the massive energy consumed by algorithms (算法), it is essential that AI be employed to “do good in terms of fighting the climate crisis-designing the next generation of batteries, tracking deforestation,” as Sasha Luccioni, climate lead at an AI firm, said, rather than “create social-media websites filled with rubbish while data centres are still powered by coal-fired generators.” 8. What does the underlined words “this concern” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The shortage of AI service. B. The unreliability of AI output. C. The release of heat by AI centers. D. The misuse of energy by AI systems. 9. What do the IEA report and the research paper in paragraph 4 agree on? A. AI can be a net carbon saver. B. AI can be energy-efficient. C. AI can provide computing power. D. AI can direct electricity distribution. 10. What is the purpose of paragraph 5? A. To put forward an opposite position. B. To offer a more comprehensive view. C. To add some background information D. To demonstrate the previous argument. 11. What does Sasha Luccioni argue about AI? A. Its design calls for improvement. B. Its energy use demands restriction. C. Its application requires wise guidance. D. Its development deserves public support. D Plastic has always been a double-edged sword — multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts (催化剂), and often produce impure results. Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. The team’s secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures — far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence. Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future.

Last year, I unwillingly joined a football game among friends. ____16____ Instead of running down the clock on the sidelines, I got swept up in the game, rooting for my team to score. Now, our football game is on every Sunday. I remain the worst on the team, but I keep turning up. I love the exciting sense of challenging myself, with zero expectation of ever being actually skillful. ____17____ “Amateurish” hasn’t always been negative, explains author and activist Karen Walrond. “It comes from the Latin, meaning ‘one who loves’.” Her new book In Defense of Dabbling makes the case for “intentional amateurism”: finding an activity we’re drawn to but not necessarily naturally good at, and sticking with it anyway. ____18____ They include mindfulness, curiosity, self-acceptance, play, challenge, connection, and awe. Focusing on these helps us “let go of perfectionism” and appreciate the experience. Walrond herself has tried many new activities: swimming, calligraphy, surfing, night photography, and so on. What stuck was pottery. ____19____ At the wheel, she gets to “shut out the world” and enjoy the fun of free-spirited creation. Being part of an ancient tradition inspires awe, while the community at her studio offers opportunities for connection. In her book, Walrond includes an entire “menu” of activities she still intends to try, inspiring me to steal some for myself. Simply making the attempt enlarges our lives, by encouraging curiosity and taking us beyond our comfort zone. This weekend, in fact, we’re playing our first proper match against another team. ____20____ It’s great to challenge yourself-but part of embracing (欣然接受) intentional amateurism, I’ve decided, is also knowing your limits.

Walrond defines intentional amateurism by seven criteria. 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。 Six years ago, I started taking my own takeaway box when dining outside.

I jumped and nearly slid out of my chair and under the dining room table, but it was too late. He’d already seen me. I forced a smile and thanked him as he turned away. Growing up, I lived in the last house on a dead-end street. Neighbors hardly passed by, let alone strangers. In college, I was blessed with the best roommates one could ever expect. They let me hide behind them when we were around other people. In the subsequent years, I kept working around my anxiety about crowds and people by waiting them out. If I saw someone at the spot I was going to, I’d hang back at a distance until they were done. After my husband and I bought our own house, I’d hang my head over the balcony (阳台) railing to see if anyone was outside. For an introvert (内向者) like me, this was the most convenient way to minimize the chance of encountering a stranger. Nevertheless, I didn’t shut out the world entirely. Like many introverts, I love books. I could connect with all sorts of characters and find endless joy in exploring their worlds. Thus, once we had a house, I couldn’t wait to build a Little Free Library. “You do realize that means people will be coming to the yard, right?” my husband asked. I tried not to think about that part through the preparations and finally launched my dream library. I would sit at my desk at the corner, knowing all sorts of folks from the neighborhood were coming for a book or two and pretending they weren’t there. Every day before closing time, I would check the Library and see what books the visitors had taken and take delight in their choices. It was a way of bonding with fellow book lovers from a safe distance. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Unexpectedly, that distance grew shorter as time went by. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The interactions with these friendly and curious visitors truly changed me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
