It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone. In some birding circles, people claim anyone who looks at birds is a birder. I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder. Birding has significantly increased the time spent outdoors. It has motivated me to explore Oakland in ways I never would have. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world, which I have long written about but always remained slightly distant from. These recent years have taught me that I’m smaller when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence. It’s easy to perceive birding as something you do when you’re not working, not being productive, and even an escape from reality. Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted (使分心) by small, unimportant matters. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is commenting on them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to locate a rare bird. 24. Why did the author think the journey to the wetland special? A. He protected bird species there. B. He fell in love with birding again. C. He made his true start as a birder. D. He completed his writing during it. 25. What does the underlined word “impervious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attentive. B. Subject. C. Resistant. D. Sensitive. 26. What lesson does the author probably learn? A. Outdoor pursuits are a must-have. B. Self-care can help fuel self-worth. C. Happiness serves as the core of life. D. Productivity defines personal value. 27. How does the author view birding according to the last paragraph? A. A complete engagement with reality. B. A temporary escape from busy life. C. A training in focus and observation. D. A substitute for online activities. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者去年九月一次偶然的观鸟之旅让他正式成为观鸟者，此后观鸟不仅增加了他的户外时间、让他更亲近自然，还让他领悟到生活的本质，重新认识了观鸟的意义。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone. (这是我第一次专门去某个地方观鸟。自从这次特别的旅行后，我已经见过452种鸟类，仅今年就有307种)”及第二段“I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder. (我一生都在关心鸟类和其他动物，在我作为一名科学作家的二十年里，我一直在写关于它们的文章，但我把我特别选择为它们投入时间和精力的那一刻标记为我成为观鸟者的那一时刻)”可知，作者认为这次湿地之旅特别，是因为它让自己真正开启了观鸟者的身份。故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled (观鸟时，我似乎对冷热饥渴都impervious。我的感官只专注于当下，内心变得异常平静)”可知，观鸟时作者专注于当下，不受冷热饥渴的影响，因此“impervious”意为“抵抗的、不受影响的”。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“These recent years have taught me that I'm smaller when I'm not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence (这些年我明白了，当我不积极关爱自己时，我会变得渺小；除了无休止的工作产出，我对自己的世界和社区也有价值；而像观鸟这样能带来喜悦、惊奇并与周遭建立联结的追求，并非充实生活的点缀，而是其本质)”可知，作者领悟到能带来快乐的追求是生活的核心，即幸福是生活的核心。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted by small, unimportant matters (相反，对我来说，观鸟意味着全身心投入当下：思绪沉静，感官敏锐，我以专注的意识回应自然界中真实可观察的事物，不会被琐碎小事分心)”可知，作者认为观鸟是对现实的全身心投入。故选A。 C Sound signals are vital for animals deep in the dark oceans to communicate and search for food. That way of life has been threatened from increasing human noise. A leading cause is shipping-noise emissions. With roughly 90% of traded goods traveling by sea, quieting the ocean through reductions in shipping is untenable. Efforts to make ships more efficient and less polluting may also reduce noise. But experts say those measures won’t do enough to restore quiet. So, a range of technologies are being developed to allow humans and other animals to co-exist in the ocean. Much of the underwater noise a ship produces comes from its propeller (螺旋桨). The low-frequency noise it produces can travel thousands of metres underwater without losing strength, interrupting the movements of whales which use these frequencies to communicate. One solution by researchers at the University of British Columbia(UBC), makes the metal propeller flexible, allowing their tips to bend and twist, preventing bubbles from forming and reducing the noise the propeller produces, says Rajeev of UBC. More ideas are also on the table. Giovanni, a marine-engineering researcher, is investigating whether an acoustic (音响的) black hole can help. Such an object, which aims to trap sound like black holes trap light, can be built by fixing steel beams to the inside of the ship. Laboratory tests show this can reduce vibrations like the best available alternatives, without the added weight or fire risk these often involve. Tom Smith, a researcher in naval architecture, says that technological solutions for reducing ocean noise are abundant. What is missing is a willingness for shipbuilders and owners to use them. Refitting ships to be quieter is complex and costly, and not seen as a priority at present. That may change. Some seaports now offer discounts equal to thousands of dollars for ships that meet the highest level of noise reduction. Since the International Maritime Organisation has promised to reduce carbon emissions from international shipping by 70% by 2040, this may prove a good deal. 28. What’s the harm shipping-noise emissions do to a deep-sea animal? A. Its habitat is polluted by the emissions. B. Its way of communication is interrupted. C. It can’t find enough neighboring animals. D. It has to travel a longer distance for food. 29. What does the underlined word “untenable” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Impractical. B. Sensible. C. Irregular. D. Universal. 30. What’s the difficulty in adopting technological solutions according to Tom? A. The technology isn’t reliable to be used. B. It may do great harm to the environment. C. It’s complicated and adds to the cost of ships. D. It has drawn criticism from the government. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of sound signals in the ocean. B. The role of shipping in global trade and its environmental impact. C. The challenges faced by marine engineers in reducing noise pollution. D. The impact of shipping noise on marine life and the potential solutions. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了船舶噪声对海洋生物的影响以及潜在的解决方案。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sound signals are vital for animals deep in the dark oceans to communicate and search for food. That way of life has been threatened from increasing human noise. (声音信号对于深海动物交流和寻找食物至关重要。这种生活方式受到了人类噪音增加的威胁。)”可知，船舶噪声排放会干扰深海动物的交流方式。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“With roughly 90% of traded goods traveling by sea, quieting the ocean through reductions in shipping is untenable.(大约90%的贸易货物通过海运运输，因此通过减少航运来使海洋安静下来是_____。)”可知，因为大部分贸易货物都通过海运，所以通过减少航运来使海洋安静下来是不实际的，由此可知，untenable意为“不切实际的”。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Refitting ships to be quieter is complex and costly, and not seen as a priority at present.(对船舶进行改装以使其更安静是复杂且昂贵的，目前并不被视为优先事项。)”可知，根据Tom的说法，采用技术解决方案的困难是它很复杂，并增加了船的成本。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sound signals are vital for animals deep in the dark oceans to communicate and search for food. That way of life has been threatened from increasing human noise. A leading cause is shipping-noise emissions.(声音信号对于深海黑暗中的动物来说，对于交流和寻找食物至关重要。这种生活方式正受到人类噪声日益增加的威胁。一个主要原因是船舶噪声排放。)”可知，第一段引出船舶噪声对海洋生物的影响，接下来的内容讲述了人们为了减少船舶噪声所做出的努力，以及潜在的解决方案，由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是船舶噪声对海洋生物的影响及潜在解决方案。故选D。 D In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before? Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution. In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions. England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs. The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all. 32. Which question can paragraph 2 answer? A. How is AI to affect the work settings? B. Why has technology replaced human work? C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution? D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers? 33. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude? A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The appearance of spinning and weaving. C. The indifference of the government. D. The suffering of workers and the society. 34. What lesson can be learned from the text? A. Every step forward is progress. B. Technology makes the complex simple. C. History is where you find the future. D. With great power comes great responsibility. 35. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI. C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章结合工业革命历史及Ricardo的观点，探讨AI对职场的影响，指出需借助合理政策引导AI，避免重蹈历史覆辙。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly.(就像过去的机械织布机等改变世界的工具一样，人工智能将极大地重塑工作场所。)”可知，第二段回答了第一段关于人工智能将如何影响工作环境这一问题。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view.(由于工厂几乎没有创造新的就业岗位，失业的织工别无选择，导致工资下降和社会动荡。目睹了这些后果，Ricardo改变了他的观点。)”可知，工人与社会遭受的苦难让Ricardo改变了态度。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.”(历史在今日重演。随着人工智能时代到来，约翰逊指出，人工智能吸引了大批人才，这与上世纪90年代末的互联网热潮颇为相似，但历史 —— 尤其是工业革命的历史 —— 表明，“新的神奇机器并不能保证为大多数人带来福祉。”)”可知，我们能从历史中找到应对未来的启示。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future.(通过深思熟虑的政策，人工智能可以避免重蹈覆辙，构建一个包容的未来。)”可知，下文最可能谈论引导人工智能发展的具体政策案例。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It can be challenging to figure out the perfect way to arrange your furniture if you have a small bedroom. However, this can be simplified by placing your key furniture. ___36___ ●Place your bed against the most practical wall. As is often the case with small bedrooms, there may only be one wall in your room that makes sense for the placement of the headboard or the head of the bed. ___37___ This may be the wall across from the door with electrical outlets on either side. ●Center your headboard along the wall. If you want to be able to walk around all the sides of your bed, centering the bed along the wall with space left on either side may be the best choice. If you choose this option, try to keep the rest of your layout relatively symmetrical (对称的) and balanced. Take into account how big the bed can be. ___38___ ●Arrange the bed toward one side of the room. Pick the most practical wall to press your headboard against, but instead of centering the bed along the wall, slide it over to one side. ___39___ And it might allow you to squeeze a larger piece of furniture along the opposite wall. ● ___40___ This arrangement can be perfect for long, narrow spaces. Place your bed in the corner of your choice, with the headboard and one side of your bed touching the walls. This will leave the rest of the room open for other furniture items. A. Push the bed into a corner. B. Downsize your bed, if possible. C. Locate the wall that works best for this purpose. D. When approaching this task, start with your bed. E.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章针对小卧室家具摆放的难题，提出以床为核心进行布局的简化方法，并具体介绍了四种摆放床的实用技巧，帮助充分利用小卧室空间。 【36题详解】 上文“It can be challenging to figure out the perfect way to arrange your furniture if you have a small bedroom. However, this can be simplified by placing your key furniture. (如果你有一间小卧室，想要找到完美的家具摆放方式可能会很有挑战性。不过，通过摆放核心家具，这个问题可以得到简化。)” 点明小卧室家具摆放的难点及简化思路，下文则用四个小标题具体介绍了摆放床的不同技巧。D项“When approaching this task, start with your bed (着手进行这项任务时，可以从床开始)”承上启下，“this task”指代上文的家具摆放，“start with your bed”明确指出核心家具就是床，同时自然引出下文关于床的摆放技巧，逻辑连贯。故选D。 【37题详解】 上文“As is often the case with small bedrooms, there may only be one wall in your room that makes sense for the placement of the headboard or the head of the bed. (小卧室的情况通常是这样的，房间里可能只有一面墙适合用来放置床头板或床头。)”提出要选择适合放床头的墙，下文“This may be the wall across from the door with electrical outlets on either side. (这面墙可能是门对面、两侧都有电源插座的那面。)”具体说明了适合的墙的特征。C项“Locate the wall that works best for this purpose (找到最适合做这件事的墙)”承上启下，“this purpose”指代放置床头，“locate the wall”衔接下文对墙的具体描述，符合段落逻辑。故选C。 【38题详解】 上文“If you want to be able to walk around all the sides of your bed, centering the bed along the wall with space left on either side may be the best choice. If you choose this option, try to keep the rest of your layout relatively symmetrical (对称的) and balanced. Take into account how big the bed can be. (如果你希望床的四周都能走动，那么把床居中靠墙摆放，两侧留出空间可能是最佳选择。如果你选择这种方案，尽量让其他布局保持相对对称和均衡。要考虑床的尺寸多大合适。)”强调小卧室居中摆床需兼顾走动空间与对称布局，且要重视床的尺寸考量。G项“That can determine whether you have room for two bed-stands (这会决定你是否有空间放置两个床头柜)”承接上文，“that”指代上文的“床的尺寸”，直接呼应“Take into account how big the bed can be”的核心话题；同时，两个床头柜是实现“布局对称和均衡”的关键元素，床的尺寸是否合适直接决定两侧能否容纳床头柜，完美衔接了居中摆床的对称需求，逻辑连贯且贴合场景。故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“Pick the most practical wall to press your headboard against, but instead of centering the bed along the wall, slide it over to one side. (选一面最实用的墙来靠床头板，但不要把床居中靠墙，而是把它移到墙边的一侧。)”介绍了将床靠一侧摆放的方法，下文“And it might allow you to squeeze a larger piece of furniture along the opposite wall. (这样做或许能让你在对面的墙上塞下一件更大的家具。)” 说明了这种摆放方式的好处。F项“This may leave some extra space in front of your closet door (这样做可能会在你的衣柜门前留出一些额外空间)”承接上文，与下文并列，共同说明床靠一侧摆放的优势，即节省空间，逻辑通顺。故选F。 【40题详解】 下文“This arrangement can be perfect for long, narrow spaces. Place your bed in the corner of your choice, with the headboard and one side of your bed touching the walls. This will leave the rest of the room open for other furniture items. (这种布局非常适合狭长的空间。把床放在你选好的角落里，让床头板和床的一侧都靠着墙。这样会让房间的其他部分空出来，可以摆放其他家具。)”具体介绍了将床放在角落的摆放方式及优势。A项“Push the bed into a corner (把床推到角落里)”作为该段小标题，精准概括了段落核心内容，统领下文的具体说明，符合主旨要求。故选A。 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) I still remember the day I bought my “nice” notebook.

I was still recovering from an operation. “Mom, let’s play,” Mateo looked at me and said. Trying hard to ignore the pain in my stomach, I shook my head and replied, “Not today, sweetie.” These days, getting out of bed was a real struggle for me. I longed for strength and happiness, yet the future seemed so hopeless. All of a sudden, Mateo jumped up from where he was sitting on the kitchen floor. He shouted, “Bird!” and then ran towards our courtyard. I looked in the direction he was looking and, sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) landing in a rubber tree. It stayed there for a little while and then flew away. It was quite odd because I’d never seen a white dove in our neighborhood before. The next morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen. To my surprise, the dove was back, and this time it had a mate carrying some sticks. I pointed to the tree and said to Mateo, “Look, they’re going to build a nest.” Throughout the week, the doves flew in and out of the courtyard, building their nest on top of the rubber tree. Mateo was extremely excited. Every morning, he would rush into the kitchen and stand by the sliding glass door. He would talk to the birds as they worked. His joy was influential. Although feeling sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits. However, things took a turn for the worse. The courtyard seemed like a safe place for a nest, but the rubber tree’s small branches were not stable at all. One night, a strong wind blew, and the doves’ nest was blown to the ground. I heard the small branches break. I checked the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. They didn’t even look at the pile of sticks that used to be their nest. They started building all over again. Unfortunately, the wind destroyed their work again. But day after day, they kept starting again as if nothing had occurred. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized that I should take some measures. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look! The birds have returned!” Mateo shouted. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】示例： I realized that I should take some measures. Having given me comfort in my darkest times, the doves deserved my help in return. I searched around the house carefully, found some pieces of wood and made a solid wooden nest for them. With a lot of effort and care, I managed to climb up a ladder, attached the nest to the rubber tree and covered it with some leaves. It was a challenging job, but the doves’ determination gave me the confidence and strength. After finishing the work, Mateo and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and watching with patience. “Look! The birds have returned!” Mateo shouted. Hearing my son’s excited voice, clear as a bell, I looked up. The doves were circling near the nest happily and seemed to be satisfied with the new home. They started to bring small branches and soft feathers right away. Several weeks later, four babies came out of the eggs. The young birds developed day by day, and around a month later, they were fully grown and could fly. As watching them fly high and hearing them sing, I felt more positive and hopeful. The doves taught me to face difficulties bravely and keep moving forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者术后身体不适、心情低落时，和儿子看到一对白鸽子来院里筑巢。巢两次被风吹毁，鸽子却坚持重建，作者被其精神打动，为它们做巢。最终鸽子孵出幼鸟，作者也重拾积极和希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到我应该采取一些措施。”可知，第一段可描写作者为鸽子制作巢穴并安置好的过程，体现作者的努力与付出。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘看！鸟儿们回来了！’Mateo喊道。”可知，第二段可描写鸽子回到巢穴后的反应，以及它们繁衍后代、成长飞翔的情景，最后作者从中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索： 制作巢穴——安置巢穴——等待鸽子归来——鸽子满意新家——繁衍后代——成长飞翔——感悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①安置巢穴：attach the nest to.../fix the nest on... ②完成：finish/complete/accomplish ③面对困难：face difficulties/confront challenges 情绪类 ①兴奋：excited/thrilled/exhilarated ②满意：be satisfied with/be content with 【点睛】[高分句型1] After finishing the work, Mateo and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and watching with patience.（句中使用动名词finishing作宾语，以及现在分词waiting和watching作状语） [高分句型2] As watching them fly high and hearing them sing, I felt more positive and hopeful.（句中使用状语从句的省略结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届合肥八中高三下学期英语阶段检测(三) 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers going to do?

It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone. In some birding circles, people claim anyone who looks at birds is a birder. I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder. Birding has significantly increased the time spent outdoors. It has motivated me to explore Oakland in ways I never would have. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world, which I have long written about but always remained slightly distant from. These recent years have taught me that I’m smaller when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence. It’s easy to perceive birding as something you do when you’re not working not being productive, and even an escape from reality. Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted (使分心) by small, unimportant matters. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is commenting on them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to locate a rare bird. 24. Why did the author think the journey to the wetland special? A. He protected bird species there. B. He fell in love with birding again. C. He made his true start as a birder. D. He completed his writing during it. 25. What does the underlined word “impervious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attentive. B. Subject. C. Resistant. D. Sensitive. 26. What lesson does the author probably learn? A. Outdoor pursuits are a must-have. B. Self-care can help fuel self-worth. C. Happiness serves as the core of life. D. Productivity defines personal value. 27. How does the author view birding according to the last paragraph? A. A complete engagement with reality. B. A temporary escape from busy life. C. A training in focus and observation. D. A substitute for online activities. C Sound signals are vital for animals deep in the dark oceans to communicate and search for food. That way of life has been threatened from increasing human noise. A leading cause is shipping-noise emissions. With roughly 90% of traded goods traveling by sea, quieting the ocean through reductions in shipping is untenable. Efforts to make ships more efficient and less polluting may also reduce noise. But experts say those measures won’t do enough to restore quiet. So, a range of technologies are being developed to allow humans and other animals to co-exist in the ocean. Much of the underwater noise a ship produces comes from its propeller (螺旋桨). The low-frequency noise it produces can travel thousands of metres underwater without losing strength, interrupting the movements of whales which use these frequencies to communicate. One solution by researchers at the University of British Columbia(UBC), makes the metal propeller flexible, allowing their tips to bend and twist, preventing bubbles from forming and reducing the noise the propeller produces, says Rajeev of UBC. More ideas are also on the table. Giovanni, a marine-engineering researcher, is investigating whether an acoustic (音响的) black hole can help. Such an object, which aims to trap sound like black holes trap light, can be built by fixing steel beams to the inside of the ship. Laboratory tests show this can reduce vibrations like the best available alternatives, without the added weight or fire risk these often involve. Tom Smith, a researcher in naval architecture, says that technological solutions for reducing ocean noise are abundant. What is missing is a willingness for shipbuilders and owners to use them. Refitting ships to be quieter is complex and costly, and not seen as a priority at present. That may change. Some seaports now offer discounts equal to thousands of dollars for ships that meet the highest level of noise reduction. Since the International Maritime Organisation has promised to reduce carbon emissions from international shipping by 70% by 2040, this may prove a good deal. 28. What’s the harm shipping-noise emissions do to a deep-sea animal? A. Its habitat is polluted by the emissions. B. Its way of communication is interrupted. C. It can’t find enough neighboring animals. D. It has to travel a longer distance for food. 29. What does the underlined word “untenable” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Impractical. B. Sensible. C. Irregular. D. Universal. 30. What’s the difficulty in adopting technological solutions according to Tom? A. The technology isn’t reliable to be used. B. It may do great harm to the environment. C. It’s complicated and adds to the cost of ships. D. It has drawn criticism from the government. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of sound signals in the ocean. B. The role of shipping in global trade and its environmental impact. C. The challenges faced by marine engineers in reducing noise pollution. D. The impact of shipping noise on marine life and the potential solutions. D In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before? Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution. In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions. England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs. The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all. 32. Which question can paragraph 2 answer? A. How is AI to affect the work settings? B. Why has technology replaced human work? C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution? D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers? 33. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude? A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The appearance of spinning and weaving. C. The indifference of the government. D. The suffering of workers and the society. 34 What lesson can be learned from the text? A. Every step forward is progress. B. Technology makes the complex simple. C. History is where you find the future. D. With great power comes great responsibility. 35. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI. C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It can be challenging to figure out the perfect way to arrange your furniture if you have a small bedroom.

Take into account how big the bed can be. ___38___ ●Arrange the bed toward one side of the room. Pick the most practical wall to press your headboard against, but instead of centering the bed along the wall, slide it over to one side. ___39___ And it might allow you to squeeze a larger piece of furniture along the opposite wall. ● ___40___ This arrangement can be perfect for long, narrow spaces. Place your bed in the corner of your choice, with the headboard and one side of your bed touching the walls. This will leave the rest of the room open for other furniture items. A.

I was still recovering from an operation. “Mom, let’s play,” Mateo looked at me and said. Trying hard to ignore the pain in my stomach, I shook my head and replied, “Not today, sweetie.” These days, getting out of bed was a real struggle for me. I longed for strength and happiness, yet the future seemed so hopeless. All of a sudden, Mateo jumped up from where he was sitting on the kitchen floor. He shouted, “Bird!” and then ran towards our courtyard. I looked in the direction he was looking and, sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) landing in a rubber tree. It stayed there for a little while and then flew away. It was quite odd because I’d never seen a white dove in our neighborhood before. The next morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen. To my surprise, the dove was back, and this time it had a mate carrying some sticks. I pointed to the tree and said to Mateo, “Look, they’re going to build a nest.” Throughout the week, the doves flew in and out of the courtyard, building their nest on top of the rubber tree. Mateo was extremely excited. Every morning, he would rush into the kitchen and stand by the sliding glass door. He would talk to the birds as they worked. His joy was influential. Although feeling sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits. However, things took a turn for the worse. The courtyard seemed like a safe place for a nest, but the rubber tree’s small branches were not stable at all. One night, a strong wind blew, and the doves’ nest was blown to the ground. I heard the small branches break. I checked the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. They didn’t even look at the pile of sticks that used to be their nest. They started building all over again. Unfortunately, the wind destroyed their work again. But day after day, they kept starting again as if nothing had occurred. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized that I should take some measures. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look!
